2) Connect to PC via USB Cable (with Android Debug activated)
3) In Omap Tool omap4boot-for_optimus-v1.11 i run the script start_fastboot.bat

Turn off your phone, take out the battery, connect your USB-cable while the console displays "waiting for OMAP 44xx device", this way you phone will be detected if the drivers etc. are installed correctly.

Your phone will eventually display something like fastboot 0.5

The PC recognize a device OMAP 4430 for 1 sec and then disappears. After 1 sec recognized again and then disappeare.

    Hi guys,

    I'm very prowed to say that I succesfully downgraded my phone.

    I nearly tried everything and nothing worked, always blackscreen
    when booting with the old gb bootloader.

    The probleme is that some p920s need a special
    x-loader and u-boot file which nobody backed up. I just
    got them and now restoring to gb will work for everyone.

    Use this files too if you've downgraded from su760 ics port
    and your having problems with network.

    How to make your phone work on gb again:

    1. Download this and extract:
    mmcblk0p1-4

    2. flash complere bootv21e when you are on ics

    3. then go into fastboot mode with wkparks omap tool

    4. open cmd and go into the directory with the downloaded files

    5. type:
    fastboot flash u-boot u-boot.img
    fastboot flash x-loader x-loader.img
    fastboot reboot

    6. fix your imei

    hope it works for you for me worked nothing else

    i'm very happy too that I uploaded the files elseway I would be self stucked on ics

    Hi guys!
    I try this procedure but no success... it stucks on
    < waiting for device >

    Hey guys, good news!!

    ITS ALIVEEEE!!!!

    Everything its OK!! Finally i could get back to GB with no problems, everything fine, no flaws, no mess...
    The message "< waiting for device >" was because i was not on FAST BOOT, but on RECOVERY BOOT:

    Just to clarify to someone who needs:

    RECOVERY BOOT = no battery, volume UP press, connect USB, put battery (two arrows, sw upgrade)
    FAST BOOT = no battery, volume DOWN press, connect USB, put battery (LG logo grayed)

    After get into v21e, put usb in debug mode and flash your preferred KDZ or bin/FLS and be happy!

    Thanks Berni... You are my hero!

    Likewise mate I stumbled across it after xbsall bootv21e did not work for me then I remembered samno's partition test which in turn led me to your files, I'm so grateful you backed these up. :highfive:

    have you managed to get CM10 booting yet?

    no I flashed bootv21e my backup files and then 21a kdz but it doesn't boot yet, I'm now playing around with my gpt table cause I have probs with internal memory and mounting some partitions in recovery
