NOTE: The guide here is the updated version to the one in the file!

Download: http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.ph...9FB5FC5197FF2F
Mirror 1: http://rapidshare.de/files/23538841/u880.rar (Thanks luckycool)

------------------------------------------------------------------

Required to do a successful flash:
LG u880 (10a or 10b)
The boxed or 3rd party USB Data cable (NOTE: You cannot use Bluetooth!)
The u880 pack (download links above)

------------------------------------------------------------------

The guide beginnings! :

• Run Setup.exe to install the Windows USB driver for LG U880 if you haven't done so already or from the CD.
• Plug in your phone with NO SIM and using the boxed USB cable that came with the phone to the computer and when your computer detects it open "LGMDP_H3G.exe" and select your u880.
• A window will open, click browse next to the option and select these files:

1. AMSS MODEM IMAGE: U880-CODE-MUSEDR-V10b-Feb-08-2006-H3G-IT.bin
2. MEDIA IMAGE: U880-MEDIA-V10b_wm-FEB-08-2006-H3G-UK.bin ** See Below First **
3. MODULE IMAGE: U880-MODULE-V10b_final_unlock_kller_4_all_unlock.bin

Now MEDIA IMAGE: U880-MEDIA-V10b_wm-FEB-08-2006-H3G-UK.bin you must select the correct file for your country in order for this to work. The pack comes with the UK one so you must use a hex editor if your from a differant country to change the file.

Mirror 1: http://rapidshare.de/files/23567106/...TOIT_movie.zip (Thanks luckycool)

Country codes:

1. UK: ** Included in the Pack ** (0)
2. Italy: 1
3. Hong Kong: 2
4. Sweden: 3
5. Australia: 4
6. Austria: 5
7. Denmark: 6
8. Other: Unknown at this time suggestion would be to try 0 (UK in file!) or 7

Select/Tick the option to Erase EFS from the bottom and now sit your phone down and hit start.. It takes around 10 - 15 minutes when it has restarted a few times and it says "Download Complete" or "Download Done" unplug the USB cable from your phone.

• Take off the battery. Put in a 2G sim like an O2-UK one as I tested this with.
• When it comes up it says "USIM LOCKED". Press this on the keypad (nothing will show on screen).142358#*# (or press the SOS key on your phone IF you have it - UK Models don't have it unlocked) if done right your phone will restart and you will be shown the operator at the bottom (O2-UK for example).
• Enjoy!

(Yes 3 Sim Cards still work with no code - just enter the code again with a 2G sim when you turn your phone back on and bingo - still working! )
