LG Dare full flash

[thesmitty68521]

I got this from someone a long time ago. It works like a charm for me for the Dare. It is simply loading the NV Edit folder and the full flash is complete.

Here is the link (Instructions are included):

Does it take the same time as doing manually?

Thanks

ya both takes about the same amount of time, good thing about this file is you can *228 it, but one of the problem i have ran into using this file in the past is sometimes it freezes the phone and keeps booting in the Verizon loop in which you would have to reload the bin and scr files. but thats just from my personal experience

Sometimes I get bulk flashing so I think for me doing manually will be better

very convenient Smitty! very nice to see such a comprehensive guide on a flash, total opposite of my experience with the sprint rumor 2.. eric303's post is somewhat concerning...as is the issue noted by the author in the instructions.. doesn't appear to be a hazardous concern though so i will be going ahead with it here shortly. ill mention my results later. thanks again Smitty

heres the update on the flash attempt: i followed the instructions completely and all went without a hitch on the first go. after the flash there was a Service Required banner on the main screen and no 1x signal bar anymore in the top left corner. i assumed that was a result of the area specific settings being set to the author's own area. i changed the nid to my area and it was then receiving a signal, which is the only additional step i made besides the one's instructed to do. the phone then displayed both the EV and 1x signals. at that point i dialed *228 and reached the cricket OTA. after that i went to the Browser and it successfully loaded the cricket mobile homepage. Before i can actually say that my attempt of this full flash was successful i need some confirmation first(this is my first FULL flash attempt). can someone explain why it is that the bootup animation is still the same and the there are still buttons for vz navigator, v cast videos, and the loading screen for the browser is the verizon wireless image?

interesting side note: the phone is not activated yet, but i appear to have full web access. that appears very odd to me, and dumb of cricket lol. can anyone explain why that is the case?
