Some packages are also available separately to avoid repetitive downloads.
| Apps |
Description :
An setup package which lets you the choice between useful apps. There are predefined install types but you can also customize the installation. USB debugging must be enabled on your device. Read package's intro for more details.
Some Extra files : V10E Patched (EU), V20S Patched (EU) | V30B (FRA) | Superuser+.zip (will push AnReboot + ES Explorer as well) | SuperOneClic 2.3.3 | Gingersnap 2 | ADB.zip | FW Converter | GPS_Fix_2.zip | and more...
Note : V10E & V20S here are the OPEN EUROPE versions in binary format, and are patched with CWMT so they're ready for root (flash superuser.zip from SDC via recovery, see below the root tut)
You assume the fact that flashing may result in getting errors, and even bricking the phone.
You can use standard methods by using B2C, R&D Test Tool (to use with .kdz firmwares), or simply PC Suite. If you're going to manually downgrade with R&DTT, doing a factory reset before flashing may prevent of errors and bricks. NOTE : Now LG blocks manual upgrades via B2C ("upgrade start" will show LG update window instead of performing the flash process), so neither KDZU nor R&DTT will work unless you apply the following tip to fix it.
But the fastest and safest method is to use the SmartFlash tool (also used for rooting). For this method you'll need a firmware in binary format which is in two separated files (*.fls & *.bin). You can downgrade as well if needed. The process takes only 3 min and erase all internal datas. So you'd better save all saveable things like contacts, apps etc... use your favorite way (full nand, titanium, listing...)
Requirements : any firmware, UPK, and USB drivers. Follow related PDF guides for manually flashing.
If for some reasons, you need a particular firmware, you could convert it in binaries yourself by using the FW Converter. Just put it in the same dir where the firmware is and run it. This tool is also able to patch FWs OTA with CWM
Note : don't apply the patch on ICS firmwares (V3XX) since it will break the boot. Refer to "Recovery for ICS" of this tutorial below
Flash your device (the PDF guide in UPK may help noobs) | Ignore this step if you have already updated your phone through B2C or PCSuite
Unplug it (this is important) and boot normally (don't put your sdc yet so overall process will be shorter)
Do a factory reset (settings > backup & reset)
Ensure of LG software connexion type is selected (settings > PC connexion > USB connexion type)
Enable USB debugging before pluging the phone (settings > developer options), then plug
Install UnlockRoot, run it and follow instructions
For getting a working custom recovery, refer to the tutorial "Recovery for ICS" below
| The Recovery |
You assume all facts by doing that
Ensure of : installed USB Drivers / rooted system / USB debugging ON (settings > apps > dev)
Plug phone, wait for installation complete (first time plug), launch "CWMT", "CWMT6" or "TWRP"
Grant root access if prompted by SuperUser (phone)
Use AnReboot (or else) to boot into recovery
If you try booting into recovery without a custom recovery flashed, phone will perform a factory reset by default !
To load into recovery (or DownloadMod etc..), you have to use an app since LG P970 doesn't have a key combination for it. AnreBoot is perfect (included in Apps). But, if you apply a modded kernel, it becomes possible to go into CWM while the initial boot process.
Two other apps : ROM Manager, Quick Boot.
The following tutorial will help you getting a working custom recovery for stock ICS firmwares. This is an U-Boot flasher package, based on the work of payback from 4pda.ru. Thanks to jockjoint for the share.

Ensure of : installed USB Drivers / rooted system / USB debugging ON
Don't forget to install an app like AnReboot to reboot into recovery. If you use one of my recovery flasher packages, check AnReboot in the task list.
| ROMs / Mods / Tools |
(Discovery) Remove battery, hold power buton, plug USB cable and wait until LG logo appears. Yeah ! The phone boots and you can use it with an infinite supply without killing battery's life !! But the phone seems having to be in airplane mod, otherwise it will shut down and display the battery missing message.
> It also works with my GT540, holding the call key. This could work on any LG androphone.
See the [INDEX] thread by RomWiz which intends to list every existing ROMs, mods, tools etc... for our device.
thanks kzhus. Yesterday spanish links were still invalid. The europe link is now fixed, the folder "10b_00" has a lower case... they are a bit strange at LG... well I'm going to play more with links and cases...
You mean KDZ updater? I didn't try it ...yet. I am not sure that it works and I don't want to risk my phone.
Late edit:
I just flashed V10B_00 ANEUTL (european unbranded).
I was inspired by this tut: http://www.android-hilfe.de/anleitun...ashen-kdz.html
except steps 2, 3, 7, 8, 10
Instead of step 10 click on "Read phone information" and then on "Upgrade start".
Select Country -> Different country
Select Language -> English
Hit "OK"
LG Software phone update must launch and begin to update the software.
Stay back and wait for reboot!
I'm gonna flash mine too if the update doesn't suit to me.
Also, following your given url, there is a link which points to a list of firmwares here. This is just a copy of the first edit of my thread lol. It seems that I was the first to publish those links. If some of you speak german, you can discuss here.
