ok, thanks !

I'll try it, hope it will not download different version depending on the imei...

EDIT

ok, just try it ! it works perfectly, but I think it's based on the IMEI to select the rom because I have back the operator rom like originally (operator "1&1")

anyone try to root and then unroot?? they work?

After using recover method (post 54) it will restore the phone and there's no more root.

OK, here we go. This only contains Links to the GERMAN 1&1 Branded Version! I don't lnow, if there is already any other international Version available and I don't know nothing about compatibility!

This is what you need:

• The kdz with 1&1 Branding:V10A_00.kdz
  
• KDZ_FW_UPD_EN
  
• Windows Enabler
  
• LG B2CTool
  
• Your LG P970

The following Tutorial is based on some problems wich I had on a 64bit Win 7 Pro. On 32bit OS steps 2), 3), 7) & 8) might be not nessecary!

I) Install the B2CTools
1) Unpack the KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.7z and install the msxml.msi
2) Delete mfc42.dll from the unpacked data (causes problems on 64bit OS)
3) Unpack Windows Enabler
4) Remove the battery from your phone and plug it to USB while pressing Vol up and wait until the drivers are installed (Your phone should look like mine on the following picture)
5) Open your Device Manager and deactivate the "LGE Mobile USB Modem" in the modem section
6) Start KDZ_FW_UPD.exe as admin
7) Start Windows Enabler.exe as admin
8) In your Taskbar should be now the Windows Enabler Icon. Activate it by clicking it
9) Now select at "KDZ file" the downloaded V10A_00.kdz
10) And klick "Launch software  update"
11) Let the tool run. Don't klick it, even the Window sais that it's not responding! (The Log can be ignored, especially the missing dll messages)
12) Wait till your phone reboots

You do this on your own risk! If you brick your phone it is your problem! It's working with my 1&1 Branded German P970 and I haven't tested anything else!

Thanks alot digitalfrost for your support!

I've try your tutorial with a clean German image without operator layer (it seems to be the same than international version)
http://csmg.lgmobile..._00/V10A_00.kdz

Yeah i think this is a european one. If you look at the folder in the link called ADEUTL, that part of the URL is a country code, so it make sense that it is european because it has EU in the name.

Great to hear that it works and you have your phone working. I managed to fix mine through LG Mobile recovery and i am so happy it's working again

I think it's a german version ("ADEUTL" for Deutsh) because I've try with "AFRATL" and it also works (and file has exactly the same size).

Good for you that your phone it fixed ! I also greatly apreciate my LG Black, and it's very comforting that recovery and flashing image work (if we do some little mistakes ^^')

Ahhh that is probably true. But it is in english though, right?

I only thought EU because usually Germany is DE.

So CWM finally running on my Optimus Black.

The following has been tested and is working:

- Backup & Restore
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache
- Reboot & Poweroff
- install zip from SD-Card
- Partition SD-Card

Notes:
- Use at your own risk! I´ll take no responsibility for any Bricks etc.
- Apperently the Optimus Black doesn´t have a Keycombination for going to Recoverymode on Booting. So at the moment CWM can only be accessed by rebooting the Phone to Recoverymode via App or Shell from a running System.

Downloads:

Clockworkmod v3.2.0.0 >>DOWNLOAD<<
LG United Mobile Drivers (Windows) >>DOWNLOAD<< (Needed when installing with MS Windows)

How to install:

1. Extract ZIP-File to your Local Computer
2. Connect the Phone with USB-Debugging enabled
3. Run The File install_recovery.bat (on Windows Systems) or install_recovery.sh(on Linux Systems)

Updated CWM to v3.2.0.0, and some minor changes on the Kernel (EXT4 Support) + Installscripts for Windows + Linux

Haha, I'm fuccked then because I'm stuck in a bootloop  

Hello, do you succeed to unbrick your phone ?

I've bricked mine by uninstalling "PowerOff.APK" I think (I tried to get rid of the Operator shutdown animation )

Now my phone start, with the logo, but after that it's stuck on black screen and 4 buttons  flashing...

ps: I've previously installed CWM, does it can help to recover the phone in any ways ?

Orange sent my phone to LG to be repaired, since it was still under warranty. They fixed the phone for me for free. I'm not installing CWM until there's a way to boot into CWM

yo!

i misunderstood everything, the unclecracker method works perfectly. you can downgrade to 10A if you have 10B and then upgrade to 10B again if you want. i haven't tried the 11B. just follow the instructions 100%. read everything 10 times! and i did everything in windows xp so no problems with all the new stupid security stuff in win7 and you don't have to think about "run as administrator" or anything.
