			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently bought a Optimus V phone from Virgin Mobile, well I bought it from Radio Shack but I will discuss that fiasco in another post.</p>
<p>Well, the way I am I bricked it right away. It ended up being in a boot loop with now access to the recovery. I did a searh and found one method that allowed me to get this thing unbricked.</p>
<p>I have included the original post here with a link to it. If you need to unbrick your Optimus then you have found the right resource.</p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black';"><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">First things first, You should only do this if you absolutely have to.</span></span></span><br />
You should download <a href="http://www.4shared.com/rar/auPTKP5e/UnbrickFiles.html" target="_blank">UnbrickFiles.rar</a> and UN-rar it. It has almost all the files you need. Put the folder in the root of your drive. The root is C:.<br />
In this folder are the following:<br />
DISCLAIMER &#8211; None of these programs are owned by me, and are free programs and or free trials.</p>
<ul>
<li>DFS &#8211; Programming tools</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>KP500-Utils-EN-v0.4.2 &#8211; Firmware flashing tool</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>USB_Driver &#8211; install all 3 drivers before continuing.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>FlashImageGUI.apk -</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>LS670ZVD.cab &#8211; Made by Sprint for LG Optimus S (I know it says S, but we&#8217;re desperate.)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>VM670NH_recovery.img &#8211; recovery for Optimus V</li>
</ul>
<p>Sooner or later you will need <a href="http://goo.gl/JzvnZ" target="_blank">CDMA Workshop 3.6.0 Demo</a> to get your MSL code.</p>
<p>Ok so I figured out that you can&#8217;t put gingerbreak on 4shared for some reason. So download it <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black';"><span style="font-size: medium;">1. &#8212;Flashing the S firmware&#8212;</span></span><br />
(Note clicking the Show button will show you pictures!)<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black';"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: red;">MAKE SURE TO HAVE THE USB DRIVERS INSTALLED</span></span></span> They can be found in the UnbrickFiles\USB_Driver install all 3 of the drivers.<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black';"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: red;">This changes the buttons you press to boot into recovery and e-mode. Also while you have the sprint ROM the home and menu keys are flopped.</span></span></span><br />
Step 1: Navigate to C:\UnbrickFiles\<br />
Step 2: Open the KP500-Utils-EN-v0.4.2 Folder.</p>
<div>
<div>
<input type="button" value="Show" /></div>
<div></div>
</div>
<p>Step 3: Open KP500-Utils-EN.exe</p>
<div>
<div>
<input type="button" value="Show" /></div>
<div></div>
</div>
<p>Step 4: You will have a bunch of choices, but the one we want is J. So type that in.</p>
<div>
<div>
<input type="button" value="Show" /></div>
<div></div>
</div>
<p>Step 5: It asks for our phone type so type VM670</p>
<div>
<div>
<input type="button" value="Show" /></div>
<div></div>
</div>
<p>Step 6: Type the location of the cab file witch is: C:\UnbrickFiles\LS670ZVD.cab</p>
<div>
<div>
<input type="button" value="Show" /></div>
<div></div>
</div>
<p>Step 7: Now it asks for the firmware version witch is LS670ZVD_20. Its going to spit out a few lines then a windows will pop up.</p>
<div>
<div>
<input type="button" value="Show" /></div>
<div></div>
</div>
<p>Step 8: It stops around 28% to 30% so we have to unplug the usb cord then plug it back in, then click the restart button.</p>
<div>
<div>
<input type="button" value="Show" /></div>
<div></div>
</div>
<p>Step 9: Once the update reaches 99% it will ask you to pull the battery and unplug/plug in the usb cable. Before touching the power button, plug in the usb cord, and press the back button, the volume down and the power button. It will boot back into E-mode. Now click restart. This time when it fails at 99% turn the phone on completely. It will boot into a 2.2.2 ROM made for sprint phones. Unplug the phone and click restart. this time when it asks for you to connect the phone click cancel and it will go to a new screen where you can click to exit.</p>
<div>
<div>
<input type="button" value="Show" /></div>
<div></div>

<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black';"><span style="font-size: medium;">2. &#8212;Getting MSL code&#8212;</span></span><br />
Credit for this goes to this <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991668" target="_blank">guy.</a></p>
<ol>
<li>Download and install <a href="http://goo.gl/JzvnZ" target="_blank">CDMA Workshop 3.6.0 Demo</a></li>
<li>Turn on USB Debugging, and connect your phone to your PC (reboot into recovery to open a com port.)</li>
<li>Open Device Manager.</li>
<li>Ports &gt; LGE Android Platform USB Serial Port &gt; Properties &gt; Port Settings &gt; Advanced &gt; COM port number<br />
Change the value to a port number below 10. (demo restriction of CDMA Workshop)</li>
<li>Run CDMA Workshop</li>
<li>Select the proper port from step 4. Hit &#8220;Connect.&#8221;</li>
<li>Under the &#8220;Security&#8221; tab, find &#8220;SPC/User Lock.&#8221;</li>
<li>Change the drop down menu to &#8220;LG method,&#8221; and click &#8220;Read.&#8221;</li>
<li>Write down the number that appears in the box. This is your MSL code. Now</li>
<li>close CDMA Workshop, we won&#8217;t need it anymore.</li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black';"><span style="font-size: medium;">3. &#8212;Root and recovery&#8212;</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Move the Gingerbreak app to your sdcard and use Astro or adb to install it.</li>
<li>After GingerBreak is installed go to app drawer and click the Gingerbreak app, and click root. After it&#8217;s done it will reboot and you will have SuperUser</li>
<li>Move the FlashImageGUI.apk to your sdcard and use Astro or adb to install it. then flash the VM670NH_recovery.img. Then reboot into recovery, to boot into recovery, You can shut the phone of and press menu button, volume down, and the power button. Or use the command adb reboot recovery.</li>
<li>download <a href="http://www.virginmobileusa.com/resources/update.zip" target="_blank">update.zip</a></li>
<li>Follow this <a href="http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-all-things-root/528167-guide-how-flash-zv9-update-technically-challenged.html" target="_blank">guide</a> by brotherswig<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black';"><span style="color: red;">We need the radio so make sure it flashed the radio!</span></span><br />
After we install the update.zip you need to root that.<br />
<a href="http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-all-things-root/531810-rooting.html" target="_blank">One click root for ZV4/5/9 by EManU3LXX,</a></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black';"><span style="font-size: medium;">4. &#8212;Setting up LGNTPS and using it to unlock all the nv items&#8212;</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Download and Extract<a href="http://www.4shared.com/rar/fzFiGqj0/LG-LGNPST12.html" target="_blank"> LG-LGNPST12.rar</a> - Credit goes to <a href="http://androidforums.com/optimus-m-all-things-root/306532-lgntps-files-here.html" target="_blank">new optimus</a> These files are from the Optimus C but yet again we are desperate. (I remove two of the files because I don&#8217;t think we are aloud to post cracked paid programs.)</li>
<li>So now we need to install the 3 programs that where in the folder.
<div>
<div>
<input type="button" value="Show" /></div>
<div></div>
</div>
</li>
<li>After installing all 3 programs we need to register the dll in the Model folder.
<div>
<div>
<input type="button" value="Show" /></div>
<div></div>
</div>
</li>
<li>But before we can register the dll we need to make Reggie.exe open with admin access. So right click it. Click on Properties. Then click Compatibly. Then click Run this program as an administrator.
<div>
<div>
<input type="button" value="Show" /></div>
<div></div>
</div>
</li>
<li>So now we need to drag and drop the dll into reggie.exe like in the picture below.<br />
<img src="http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/197/draganddrop.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></li>
<li>Click yes when prompted to. (sorry it wouldn&#8217;t let me take a screen shot of the dialog.)</li>
<li>After you click yes it should pop up a dialog like this <img src="http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/3913/registrationa.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></li>
<li>okay so now we need to move LGNPST.exe<br />
<img src="http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/3968/16696088.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></li>
<li>Now we need to paste it in C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST, but first lets navigate to C:<br />
<img src="http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/4113/navigatetoc.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></li>
<li>Next we move on to C:\LG Electronics.<br />
<img src="http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/3258/navigatetolge.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></li>
<li>Now we open the LGNPST folder<br />
<img src="http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/968/lgnpstg.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></li>
<li>Now we paste the LGNPST.exe<br />
<img src="http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4515/addmodel.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></li>
<li>Now that we have all the files where they need to be we can start to use the LGNPST.exe but before we click it go to your phone and make sure usb debugging is one and then go to the dialer and type ##port# and enter your spc code.(The code from procedure 2) then enable debugging. Then open LGNPST.exe</li>
<li>Now that LGNPST is open we need to select a dll.<br />
<img src="http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/9500/choosedll.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></li>
<li>after we select the dll, we need to click on the phone and then click phone setting<br />
<img src="http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/7116/phonesetting.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></li>
<li>Time to enter the spc or msl of your phone. this is the code we wrote down in procedure 2.<br />
<img src="http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/6969/inputspc.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></li>
<li>Now all we have to do is click read. It may freeze, just don&#8217;t force quit the program.<br />

</ul>
<ol>
<li>We need to open DFS which is in C:\Unbrickfiles\DFS
<div>
<div>
<input type="button" value="Show" /></div>
<div></div>
</div>
</li>
<li>after opening DFS do what it says in the picture:<br />
<img src="http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/4568/dfsprogramming.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></li>
<li>After we are in the programming menu go to the mobile ip tab.<br />
<img src="http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/3294/mobileip.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></li>
<li>Now that we are in the mobile ip dialog, we need to read all the phone info.<br />
<img src="http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/9442/reado.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></li>
<li>Okay so now we need to delete everything the picture says to delete. MAKE SURE TO CLICK SAVE CURRENT PROFILE SETTINGS.<br />
<img src="http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/4213/profile1z.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></li>
<li>So now we need to copy some settings from profile 3. You can write them down or type them in a word document or notepad. IMPORTANT!!! When copying the aaa and ha password, UN-check the block next to it.<br />
