SFT does flash the unlocked bootloader once u flash Froyo or GB :p so no need and also no way to unlock our bootloader.

Sent from my XT1052 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes, today i tried to flash once more V10a, but the phone is still on lg logo and buttons are blinking...

Hello, thanks for this tutorial.

I have a LG Optimus Black that is stucked on LG Logo, I did this tutorial and it was flashed successfully, but.. it's still stucked on LG Logo. The 3 buttons below are flashing and I cannot even charge my phone (it stucks on LG Logo again). I got 2 LG P970H's bricked this way, I got them with Android 2.2 Froyo Stock ROM from VIVO (BRAZIL) and the problem happened one day when I was using my smartphone normally.

Please can someone help me with this?
...
Hi seems I got the same issue, did you get if fixed?

SmartFlash Tool completly erases device memory during flashing.
Phone will make Factory Reset at first boot after flashing!
You can upgrade and downgrade. You can downgrade from V20N too!

This also will remove phone lock if you forget unlock code or pattern. (phone lock, NOT simlock or network lock...)

This method doesn't need internet connection. :)
If you want to flash an LG P970H download correct ROM from link below.

With this solution you can unbrick LG Optimus Black P970.
It fixes bootloop, "ERROR LG Security Team", and BSOD - blue screen with green writings (untested).

Only requirement is ability to enter in to S/W Update mode and not broken hardware.

Tested on: Windows 7 Ultimate x86, x64 and Windows XP Pro SP3.

New links,
Smart Flash tool:
Mirror-1
Mirror-2
(unlinked above due to new user restrictions)
Smart Flash tool links are dead again, Mirror-1 (Google) page gives me "Failed-Server problem" message in Chrome when clicking D/L link. Mirror-2 (VK) page says "This document is available only to its owner." (it is not set as public).

    To add, it is a fast flasher compared to RDTT. :)
    Exactly! It takes only 3 minutes to flash. :)
