:-) Greattttt.. now this will b for all those that try to do KDZ... make sure u guys download right one.

@@@@@ Angablade can u upload ROM so can try it. I think issues. With brick is solved i think.

So are they sending u a new one.? If so just sell it or keep it. Cus it wll not be functional until u connect it.

No already activated new one, an the imei(or whatever) is being blocked asurion will want un-bricked phone so I'm flashing it to t-mobile an selling it.
 
Newest KDZ didn't flash MS500I0i kept crashing 3 times . Got to "Start Update," and down it went.

Tried KDZ from Motion (sammyz) worked the 2nd time.
Got to English > Next > Both boxes checked > Got "LG has stopped working" error.
I didn't see that in F6 101 how to.... so I flashed TMobile GSM version and it worked except for Data. Well calling workd.

Next day tried 500e again with old KDZ and with both fingers and eyes crossed, on the second time it flashed. I unchecked all the boxes this time and NO ERROR.

Nothing changed... IMEI nor Data with all installed apps and settings in tact. Even after 2 flashes 0i and one TM than one 0e?? Wow!
Power button works, now. GRIN

Update happened and now NFS toggles itself on and Bunch more "bloat" back running again. no root, and battery went form 14 hours to 8 hours. [I hate updates.]

I need to detox running ROM sumpin fierce.

MetroPCS got rid of their $10 International calling, last week, and won't allow mobile hot spot, on $60 [fake >] "Unlimited" Plan.

Thanks for this thread!
