Hi!
I'm having problems updating my P500 to the latest available rom. I tried about everything but it gets me nowhere LG software clearely isn't the best, I had quite some troubles with it in the past, trying to upgrade my old KP500 Cookie and apparently, it hasn't becomme any easyer in the mean time ...
First problem I have is that I cannot get the update software to work correctly on my W7home 64bit desktop pc. This is probably my own fault since I connected the phone before installing the usb drivers. Now it keeps trying to install the USB driver but it fails when attempting to install the MCCI(r)Firmware. Is there a way to remove everything and start over from scratch?
Secondly I grabbed my GF's laptop and got the software to install properly this time around and got the update process going. But for reasons unknow to me the LG software crashed at arround 15% when the P500 already was showing a yellow screen. After I removed the battery I got it to boot up again and it seems to be working ok but still shows the old firmware (v10b) on the settings menu. Problem is now that when I tried a second time the LG software won't commence the update process because it detects version v10h, which is says is the latest and no update is nesacery.
So, what now? I'm out of ideas ...
Not even any suggestions?

Just change a to d and download with idm by pasting the new link in idm. You will know what am I saying once you visited the link. But make sure you install the p500 driver. If you want you can downloadthe driver from here. I run win 7 ultimate 64 bit so it will work on your machine too.

LG P500 user with cm7 6.5.5 here.
have you installed the proper drivers for your phone? if you havent: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15960064#post15960064
You flashed any other kernel ?
I had the same problem, when i flashed stable 6.5.5 with fk's v1-Gingerbread. It was solved when i flashed just the 6.5.5 variant without fk's v1-Gingerbread kernel.
Cinclusion: right now, i am running the fastest and the most stable rom of the decade
Hope this helps out.

yes then your driver is not installed properly. First of all uninstall all the driver whatever you have installed on your PC. Re-start it.
Download the LG Mobile Support Tool
Install the LG Mobile Support Tool, and while the phone is DISCONNECTED open the program.
Under the Options & Help menu, choose Country & Language. Set your country and English as your language.
Next, on the main window choose to install the USB driver, and choose LGP500 as the model number.
Wait while the app downloads and installs 4 or 5 separate drivers.
USB modem toll in also attached. Only install it if you need.
I'm have the same exact problem, I've tried everything suggested (Mine is the Optimus V). I've scoured the internet and tried almost everything I've found.
- I've un-installed all USB Drivers associated with LG Mobile
- Re-Installed VM670 Drivers, those didn't work
- I uninstalled all USB Drivers Again
- Installed Singapore Drivers and selected P500 (Didn't work)
I spent some time on it this morning and nothing came of it

when you said re-installed, do you mean that you did this?:
open lgmobile support tool
set country to united states
select install usb driver
carrier: virgin mobile
select lgvm670
if thats what you meant, maybe try one of the other models. if you didnt mean that, well go try it

I've done that, I've tried doing different models (P500), I've tried getting the drivers straight from LG's website, I literally have a folder on my desktop with at least 5-7 different sub folders, each with a set of drivers for this phone..nothing seems to be helping.
The reason I'm trying to do this is so I can get LGMDP to recognize the phone

are you using a custom rom from another phone that is compatible for your phone?
what i mean is, i have an optimus t but im using an O1 rom. the identity of my phone lets just say "switched" from lgp509 (optimus t) to lgp500 (O1). so even though you are installing the drivers for vm670, your phone might be "under another identity"

I'm not even using a rom, haven't had a chance to do anything but root it with superoneclick.
Anyone have a solution for the ever recurring FOUND NEW HARDWARE?
I'm using windows vista.
already installed drivers for lgp500 but every time i connect the device via usb. my pc wont recognize it. and wont even automatically find the drivers even though i already install all the drivers needed.
Any workarounds?
* I want to change my base band but lgeblahblah wont seem to detect it.
help pls. i want to change my baseband but my pc wont recognize my phone
i had to re-install the lg drivers twice before it started working
one time my sdcard went bad
i assume you have usb debugging turned ON and are hitting "usb connect" when the drivers have updated the phone.
I went with Andy's phoenix rom, he coded in his rom modifications to fix that. Of course Bluetooth still is not working however I use earphones with mic integrated.

if problem is still alive ...
Don't know if you've tried this, but if not:
1.) get LG PC Suite IV for P500, and install it.
2.) connect your phone to PC, and wait
3.) if LGE Modem installed, go to Device Manager, and set it to tilted or disabled.
( sorry, i'm hungarian, and using hungarian windows too, don't know how this option called on english or other language )
After that, if no other drivers was installed for your phone, should be detected, and installed now. Anyway when you update or downgrade firmware using kdz method, flashing will not start until you disable lge modem in device manager, and you will get only errors, so maybe it will help with installing drivers too. Method tried with GW620, GT540 (my last two phones) and P500 too.
I had issues with these drivers the first time I tried using them. I suggest going to LG Mobile Support, getting their software program, it will ask for your phone model and download all the necessary drivers. Don't have your phone connected, it tends to want to upgrade to the LG's latest ROM.
I have looked at all the other problems that people have been having, but it appears that nobody else has had this, I feel like a special NooB..
Ok, coming from my Droid Eris, got the Razr last night and it has
6.11.744XT912... It is trying to update, but I havent installed it yet, most likely 748 or newer... However, I don't think this is a phone problem...
I have followed all the simple steps for Doomlord's, Zergrush... To the best of my knowledge. clicked on ADB application and it disappears so fast, I must assume it installed ADB drivers... I orginally was directed to Moto's site for their drivers and it installed 5.4 x64 drivers, have since uninstalled it and found a link with 5.2 drivers to see if that was causing it....
what happens is this... I press any key to continue and I get
--- STARTING ---
--- WAITING FOR DEVICE
The system cannot find the path specified.
And For EVERY line of code there after as well....
This is seriously getting to me now, I have the phone plugged in, in Charge Only Mode... proper debugging and unknown sources selected... but WTF?!?
Anyone have an idea? I know its gotta be something simple..
Brynn
not sure what kind of computer you have, but have you tried the 32 bit drivers?
I tried installing my Razr's 64 bit drivers the other day and couldn't get my computer to recognize it. I then remembered from modding my previous phone (Droid 1) that I needed the 32 bit drivers. Installed those and connected to my Razr no problem.
I am running Windows 7 x64, with an I7-2600k....
I can try the 32bit drivers and see if that makes a difference...
Ok, just tried it, uninstalled the 5.2 driver and took the link to Moto USB Drivers and downloaded the MotoHelper and Driver 5.4.0... It did not give me a choice of 32 or 64 bit.... I did see it install the ADB drivers too.... But atlast, still no change.....
This so makes me wish I had gotten the Nexus last night....CM9 ICS is calling me.... will feel so much better when I get something on this phone that I can use until the ICS update OS comes out.... (any ROMS available now for it? used to CM7 on my Eris..) Don't really want to start uploading apps and such until this is rooted and updated...
Possible solution
I had been having the same issue, then I found a post in a thread that stated to change the USB connection setting to Mass Storage by pulling down the notification tray after plugging the phone into your computer. Worked fine for me that way.
nope, no dice.... I have tried that in every setting within the past 16hrs... PC mode didnt help, and just tried USB Mass Storage again.... since I just reinstalled the drivers... it did install the drivers as I switched modes, but still no change....
Ok.. just so you all can hide the fact that you might just be as big a NOOB as I feel at the moment....
I have figured out why I am getting this error.... apparently my phone is already ROOTED!!!!.... I downloaded Root Explorer and Root Browser and it seems to work with no errors....
Nice Huh!
hi,
I'm having a major problem updating my LG Prada 3 UK version from gingerbread to the official ICS update. I've not rooted or done any mods. I'm using the official lg update tool with the drivers installed but the update keeps getting stuck at 7%. I pass all the checks the update tool seems to perform before updating but once the update starts always at 7% it gets stuck. It gives me an error message something like this: "There was a communication problem between the cell phone and the PC", with the option to restart. It tells me to unplug USB and take battery out then turn phone on and restart. I do this but nothing works and again stuck at 7%.
I even phoned LG who said it must be a glitch and to keep trying. That's nonsense I've definitely got some kind of issue here. Oh and I've tried the usual: factory reset, reinstalling the USB drivers and LG update tool. Absolutely nothing works.
One more thing, even using the LG PC Suite to update gives me an error message. So I know this isn't to do with the LG Update tool. I have a Win7 installed.
Please can someone help me with this! many thanks
It's possible there's a bad block in the internal memory. You may be able to check for it through a shell.
If it's under warranty, I would try to send it back.
You could also try flashing with the KDZ tool, but if it gets stuck, you might brick the phone.
To work out what the problem is you need to rule out every variable. First try out a different wire/cable. If it doesn't work then try a different computer. If its still not working then there's a good chance it's a problem with your phone.

I tried a different USB cable, and also a different pc but still the same problem. I was thinking of trying to turn off the download mode thing but not sure how that works. I did hold up volume up and power then inserted battery but all that gave me was a SW Update screen.
