I have made an updated version of the instructions to help clarify.
Unbrick directions:
00. Download and install LG USB Drivers for the LG VM670
01. Install MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser (msxml.msi)
02. Your computer needs to be connected to the internet.
03. Connect phone in emergency mode (Phone off> Volume Down + Back key + plug in USB)
04. Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
05. In type, choose 3GQCT
06. In Phonemode, choose EMERGENCY
07. Choose the ZV5.kdz
08. Click Launch software update
09. Wait for the error to come up (this might happen a few times in a row just keep repeating steps
10, 11, and 12)
10. Press OK
11. Unplug phone, pull battery, press power button
12. Click Launch software update
When everything is working correctly you should get a readout that pops up that shows a
scrolling text that eventually will display:
wParam:7, IParam=00
then:
wParam:7, IParam=01
and so on and so on until you get to
wParam:7, IParam=100
(in the middle of all this you will ocasionally get a dll message error, this is normal), then
you will get:
wParam:8, IParam=00
It should now go into battery charge mode, or recovery mode, or boot into the phone.
13. Enjoy
Notes:
01. If it hangs in the bootanimation, and you have no recovery, get into the fastboot screen (same
way you get into the recovery, but with no recovery it should automatically go to the fastboot
screen).
To correct it you will need the Android SDK and the Java jdk6_u45 installed and setup properly.
Plug the phone into the computer and open a terminal in the SDK/platform-tools folder (or wherever the fastboot.exe is located) that you
should already have on your C: drive (If no SDK folder let me know, I have one you can download).
Then type in this code:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
Note: If the recovery partition is messed up you will need to use adb to get into the fastboot screen.
Open up a terminal in the same folder that the adb.exe is in and type in:
Code:
adb shell (should get a # at the end, if not type in sudo next)
reboot bootloader
Now open up a terminal in the same folder that the fastboot.exe is in and type in the fastboot commands
Pull battery, get into the E-mode and start the KDZ utility over.
02. If it boots into the recovery just select the "wipe data/factory reset" option, unplug the phone
from the computer and then select the "reboot system now" option.
03. If it goes to battery charge mode just unplug from computer and push the power button.
04. On the first boot up it might takes as long as 10 minutes to fully boot into the lockscreen.
Upgrade/Downgrade/Return to stock directions:
00. Install Drivers, Reboot
01. Install MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser (msxml.msi)
02. Connect phone in recovery mode (Phone off> Volume Down + Home key)(This will not work with
certain recoveries so try the Xionia or the VM670NH recovery's first)
03. Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
04. Select the ZV5.kdz
05. In type, choose 3GQCT
06. In Phonemode, choose DIAG
07. Click Launch software update
08. Enjoy
