thx man solution tested works 100%~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I would just like to thank the original poster of this thread for taking the time out to provide us with this information and the links as well.

Thank you Thank you!!

My cookie was almost dead. Whenever I tried to turn it on, the LG logo would keep blinking and won't start up.. until I found this thread.

To those having problems with usbmap, here are some tips:
When you connect the phone to the PC, wait for the PC to detect it. And then a found new hardware wizard may come up. I ignored the hardware wizard and proceeded with the usbmapping. Nada. So what I did was to disconnect the phone, reconnect it and then allowed the add new hardware wizard to install the necessary driver. Then I ran usbmap and voila!! in a few seconds the port was found.

I hope this helps.

Thanks again for bringing my cookie back to life!!! two thumbs up!!

Hi im a newbie here, Id just like to ask a few questions and hopefully someone can help me out. I have an LG KP500 cookie which I was trying to flash. I did everything the tutorial asked and it worked perfectly. However Im getting the same issues ive seen others post about but no real answer to. So Im posting the issues I have and see how it goes. First, after I flashed my phone, it was inserted into the computer via USB. At the last step when it flashes the phone and its complete, the phone restarts by itself. This is the stage where I follow gueddes666's (I think thats the right spelling) instructions to unlock the phone, however, being silly as I am, i removed the USB cable from the computer and the phone switched off so i couldnt get into the menu. I didnt know what to do, so I inserted the USB back into the computer which started flashing again, no harm done to the phone, after it finished i tried to do it, without simcard but it said thats its the wrong code. Also, when I did it the next time it restarted by itself and the LG logo came up instead of the usual optus logo that comes up when i start the phone. What does this mean exactly? Does it have to be debranded to be able to unlock? Is there a way to unlock it without flashing it? I dont care if I have to flash it again with another firmware to unlock it. Can someone please shed some light? Does this mean that my phone cant be unlocked anymore? I tried a few more times but still it didnt work. im not sure how many times but i can still use my phone on optus, which is what it was originally but everytime I put in my vodafone simcard which is the one i want to use it says USIM Locked. So what does this mean please? I really want to get it unlocked, without having to pay almost $100. Any and all help is appreciated. I hope I can get a quick reply
Cheers

P.S My apologies if they seem silly question.
