hi all

new link to this file is
http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downl...6573210987654321/LS720ZV5_00.S5_00.P25013.cab

i have tested this on my Virgin Mobile F3 VM720

AFTER FLASHING ALL THINGS WORKS GREAT BUT IN SOFTWARE VERSION IT IS NOW SHOWING LS720 INSTEAD OF VM720


no need to convert this cab to KDZ

i used LGNPST ACG and the above cab file and LS970 dll file

Does MMS work?

This didn't zero out your IMEI, did it?

Also the VM variant says Ls720 as well. Least mine does and I've not used the unbrick yet lol

They both are the same phone using the same firmware. It makes sense.

As long as I remain OP, sure.
Though, the other thread was someone getting testers to flash fw and this thread is how to flash it.

Go ahead and merge it.
