Ok, so my friends phone's internet stopped working again and I did what amoamare said. It fixed it. You were right, and "said above user" was wrong. :doh:
 
I have the file but where are these instructions everyone is talking about. I don't want to brick my phone by just flashing this to the phone.
 
where is the tutorial and eri file for this i have the bin already. but everyone keeps talking about following instructions. where are they? just bought rumor today and ready to go to work but don't won't to brick my phone. thanks in advance for great hack and any future advice
 
i have the file but where is the tutorial. i just bought rumor today with the hopes of flashing it now i can't find the instruction after reading all 11 pages of this thread. i don't want to brick my phone. can some please help me out
 
Ok, I have an issue I hope someone can help me with. I was about 70% complete with the BIN download and I had a power outage. Just my luck! Anyways, I have successfully done this on 3 other occasions. With all the thanks and many thumbs up to AMOAMARE! Excellent work! Anyways, I now have my phone that will not re connect to the usb and has a white screen that says...."initial programming required". Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks to all!
 
So I bricked my first Rumor today.

Followed the instructions, just like every other time I flash these. Got an error and the phone turned off.

Now it won't charge or power back on.

Any ideas?
 
AMO...I thought I read you can use QPST to change the Sprint SPC, but I've tried just about every tab and every program I had to try and do this. Then I decided since you did all the work, I would support your company(Or you) and see if I could buy the CDMA Workshop from you. I cant afford a lot, but its better than what 99% of the leeches on HoFo do. I went to your site and couldnt find it there. I looked at the markeplace here and couldnt find it. I hate to have to go someplace else, but I have a customer waiting for this phone and I need it quickly. Please respond asap so I can give you a monetary thank you. Thanx
 
Emergency mode the phone (5 + PWR). Do this AFTER you take the battery out of the phone and then re-insert it. You will need to re-write the ESN afterwards as well. Then in LG Download, select the "Emergency" tab at the bottom below NV Edit, select the correct dll and bin, and the do the "SCR Download" option at the top afterwards.
 
I tried it like that and when it came time to write w/ LGdl it wouldnt because it needed to know the SPC. Besides, The first few steps are basically re-writing the SPC from what it was to 6 zeros; so I'm not sure why you claim that.
Anyway, I Found I had an old CDMA workshop already, but it was the 2.7 ver. This one doesnt have the last step in it (The EVDO tab). Being an Old School guy, cant I do this is the Long programming? I found some of the stuff was alraedy written but other stuff I wasnt sure of. I thought I had seen this written here somewhere, but cant find it now. So I guess I'm asking if you can do the last step any other way. I also tried to open it up in NV edit mode on LGdl, and it would read and not open up. Strangely enough, I was able to open this up w/ a vx8500. I wonder why it wouldnt on this?

BTW: WORD OF WARNING: I have attempted to do this with 3 phones. The first one started the Bin and stopped aT 2%. iT FROZE; WOULDNT BUDGE. I had no other choice but to shut everything down and pull the cord. Now all that happens is the LG logo flashes on and off against a white screen with the orange bar below. I believe I have officially bricked that one. But I dont know why it happened or, how to fix it. I pulled the battery and put it back in; still the same thing. (Anyone know how to fix this?) The battery was low, but I plugged in the charger and it was charging; but I dont think it mattered because the charging was stopped at certain times and the process was totally reliant on the Battery power, which was nonexistent. Therefore, I can only conclude the oldest Flashing rule exists DONT ATTEMPT WITHOUT A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY! Whether you have the charger attached or not, it doesnt matter, you'll brick it!.
The only other reason I can think of is my computer is old. For those of you trying this with an older os (I have W2k,1000mgz,750 ram) make sure ALL your programs are closed and you have run your spyware program. Because this program takes up over 50% of the CPU power, you'll need to be running at optimum speed. Just some FYI... and maybe the leading cause of bricked phones.

One other note. After the Bin step and the SCR step, a box will appear stating the process is completed and giving you a choice of Continue or End. Press END. By pressing Continue, it just redoes everything again...I didnt see this noted anywhere...
 
Ok that worked Great! I got the Bin to load in Emergency Mode and followed the rest all the way thru. My problem is rewriting the ESN. I opened up my CDMA Workshop and tried to write it. It wouldnt take the MEID so I converted it to pesn hex (* digits) and It still wouldnt take it. Is there directions on how to do this? Thanx in advance and I will be sure to give you a big thanx when I finish.
