Question [Q] One Week trying to save a P920 and Failed [ Help Appreciated ]

Hello Everyone,

So I've been dealing with a P920 for the last 7 days trying to Flash it and it's not working.

1- Device is booting to Android but all applications are crashing ( unexpected error com.x.x ) force close.

2- I tried LG recover mode, phone flashed but once successful and rebooted, same error upon loading desktop.

3- Tried rooting the phone with SuperOneClick2.3 ; Rooting successful, upon reboot, rooting is lost

4- Downloaded KDZ original firmware V21A Europe based from lg-firmware site and used offline installation ( shttps + modified host file etc..) . Installation successful and flashing is OK; rebooting = same error on startup.

5- Downloaded firmware V10B and flashed it successfully. Rebooted, phone version is still showing V21A !

6- Rooted phone + installed CWM -> successful, rebooted, it's gone.

Now this is the first time since 10 years that I get into such thing and the device is getting me on my nerves.

Any idea or advice is much appreciated!

Well

Looks like a hardware issue. ROM, RAM, Internal memory. U need to find a way to delete partitions and re do them somehow. Have no idea if there is a software for that. I had it for my SGS. It should help.

Just repartition whole internal memory.

UPDATE:

Here you go ! Good Luck ! and tell us did it worked for you

Remember not to switch internet with external memory or u will brick it totally!

Great, I will give it a try thanks.

Do you think I will have to delete all partitions and create them again ? or I should only specific ones ?

Have no idea. Try to make some research I don't want to give you wrong answer. Should be only one where rom data is, but I'm not sure.

Hello MinedSafe; As I mentioned earlier, whenever I root the device and reboot, it's not rooted anymore. It is not possible to install CWM ( changes are not applied )

I have managed to root the device and tried the parted command, I get command not found.

I have noticed that once I get into the stock recover and wipe everything, I do not get the first welcome screen to setup the device, it's booting with the same error.

I have started to lose hope. Device is no longer under warranty

Yes, I tried, it downloaded 404 MBs and flashed the device. When it boots, it still goes into the menu as if i have not done any update. No first setup screen and the crashing application error shows up.
