I got a LG optimus P500 recently in India. I installed the LG PC suite backup on laptop running windows 7 and connected my phone successfully.
The software wanted me to sync phone data with pc which i did not do. Later I tried updating my phone software (disabled mass storage mode in settings).
Two options here 1. Backup and continue 2. Continue without backup.
The first time I proceeded with "backup and continue". Program stopped running and crashed immediately ( Is is cos PC suite was running on W7? ).
The second time I proceeded with "Continue without backup". It went on to install a new update installer and continued with "downloading update". Successfully downloaded the whole update and my phone went into emergency mode for 15 mins. After this it got stuck there and no progress. I had to remove the battery and restart the phone and found it in same condition as it was before update.
So my problems are
1. How can I backup data?
2. How can I update firmware?
I possibly know about rooting and custom ROM's, but have some warranty issues pending (dust inside the screen), so the above stuff would not probably be fruitful.
Can someone help me with this?. I'm very sure that I am going wrong somewhere !!!!!!!!!!!

Okay a basic course:
I use Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit, and LG PC Suite always crashes for some reasons on it (thanks LG for the ****ty softwares, even the latest version). That's not a big deal though, because sincerely I think everyone here can approve this, LG's PC Suite is practically useless. Stop worrying about it.
For you questions:
1. You can use random applications found on the Android Market to backup your data on your sd card and then transfer it to your pc if you wish to. If you want to go further, root your device (preferably with Gingerbreak) and then use Titanium Backup.
2. Since we dont have v2.3.x update (gingerbread) out for our phone yet, there's no use to upgrade to any official LG stock rom, they are practically all the same. If you wish, once you got your phone rooted, you can flash a rom on it, through a "Recovery" to experience better performance. If you want to know more then just ask.

lg pc suite has resulted in dead phones for many the only way to revive is to use kdz updater and follow error guide and flash your desired updated rom via kdz.iknow your phone is not dead though try the three button combo and check if it helps orelse kdz is the solution.
regarding backup of data-if u mean app and games that can be done through titanium but u need root permission so just root it and backup using titanium and than again unroot it.simple the lg ppl wont get any hint of what u did.
if data -means ur phone os than i am not aware as custom recovery works the best
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038338 this might help u somehow i beleive and the error link is in the thread itself
thanks for that..
thanks to both above...
I would certainly root the mobile once i get my phone to service center for warranty claim ( it has dust specs inside the screen -must be between display and touch panel)...
Happy to see so much going on to help ppl customize their phones so much... If not you ppl then android and optimus would have been dead years back...
Use gingerbreak to root your phone. Titanium to backup. Again unroot via gingerbreak. If you give phone for lg service ask them to upgrade. Or use KDZ flasher to flash LG rom from official site. It does not void your warranty
I hope this will help. Do it at your own risk

Hey guys, in this thread, i will describe my experience while downgrading my LG P500 to v. 10B from v.10C & describe the procedure for the same.
I bought my P500 about a month ago. It was my first android phone, so i was totally new for the android OS. I read many forums & blogs &gathered required inf. about rooting my phone.
I found out that the phone is rootable only with the F/W V.10B istalled. So i downgraded my phone & rooted it with Z4 root.
NOTE: PLEASE EXCUSE THE SIZE OF THIS THREAD AS THE ENTIRE PROCESS IS VERY LONG.
The process I followed:-
=>First of all, downloaded the firmware V.10B , available HERE:-http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/AINDBK/V10b_00/V10B_00.kdz
=>Then, I downloaded the KDZ F/W updater software from:-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8651505&postcount=1 its also available at http://www.4shared.com/file/UleS4dP3/KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.html
=>I was already having necessary drivers installed i my pc, but be sure to install them if you don't have them by installing LG PC SUITE 4 from your SD Card.
=>Then I Disabled the LGE Virtal Modem from my pc.(control panel/system properties/Hardware/Device manager/LGE Virtual Modem).
=>Also I uninstalled the ms visual c++ redistributable software from my computer, which, can interfere in the updating process and detached all other USB devices from my pc.
=>I then Unmounted my SD card from my phone(menu/settings/SD card & phone/Unmount SD Card) & removed it from my phone.
=>I enabled USB Debugging(Menu/settings/applications/Development/ USB Debugging.[THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT STEP]
=>Then i connected my phone to pc & installed the msxml.exe that was in the ''KDZ_FW_UPD_EN'' folder which I download & then opened KDZ_FW_UPD.exe form the same folder.
=>In that application I selected the V10B_00.kdz file which I downloaded & selected TYPE as 3GQCT & PHONE MODE as DIAG.
=> After that is did the last step and clicked the "Launch software update" button and the updating process was now underway.
After a few seconds, the screen of my phone turned yellow with emergency mode written in between. I left the phone as it is & after 4-5 mins. the phone switched. After waiting for awhile I Rebooted it manually. The phone started as usually with LG splash and after that it entered the android logo. It spent whole 2-3 mins. in that state, then it booted successfully. I confirmed the firmware change by going into the 'about phone' menu from settings, it was changed to 2.2 from 2.2.1!!!!!!!!! I was feeling afraid as the process could brick my phone, but fortunately i completed it without bricking.
Then lastly i installed Z4 root app (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953) in my phone & selected permanent root. After rebooting my phone was rooted.
I have described my experience in this thread. The readers too can follow the above steps if they wish to root their LG P500.
I have attached the log file that was created during the updating process.
"I would not be responsible for whatever happens to your phone"
why did you downgrade your o1 to v10b unless you use new baseband roms. this doesnt make any sense.

Please list your problem simply,i sinply cant get what u mean,sorry for my english it's not my mothertongue
I think you can't update your rooted phone the normal way via SEUS or PC Companion. You need to flash your phone manually, or reset to factory state to get the official update
Simply my problem is that i want to install on my Xperia mini pro (2011) new update and installation failed. Phone is rooted and I want to install this update.

Tell us HOW you are trying and failing - are you trying to use the Sony Ericsson updater or some other tool? If so - name the tool.
If you are just trying to use Sony Ericsson's update program - called PC Companion - you need to tell us whether or not you have already installed any custom, third-party rom in place of the standard one your phone came with.
Also - since you have rooted your phone, did you do so for any particular reason - i.e. - have you installed any particular applications or customisations that required the phone to be rooted?
If not - please understand that rooting your phone is NOT necessary for normal use. Only a tiny percentage of the millions of Anfroid phones sold get rooted - it is a hack that MAY prevent your phone from working properly in certain ways - including being able to install updates from the manufacturer or service provider.
If you want to be able to safely and easily install updates directly from Sony Ericsson, unroot your phone and reset it to all defaults - after backing up any important data. Then run the update program. If you have specific apps that only work when the phone is rooted - you can alway re-root the phone afterwards then reinstall the apps - just bear in mind that different revisions of Android MAY require a different method to root and MAY require a different version of any named app.
If none of that helps - tell us exactly WHAT is failing and HOW it is failing - give EXACT details of the application you are using and EXACT details of any error messages you see on the computer and/or phone. Simply saying "it won't work" is like asking "Why won't my car start?" - impossible to answer without listing a million possible reasons.

I tried default SE update app in phone. I tried also to use PC Companion, but i am not able to connect phone in MTC mode(required for upgrade).
I think that i have no custom party ROM (Only one change I used was rooting and if there was no custom ROM i have none).
I rooted my phone for cleanup. I wan to uninstall many default applications such as Moxier, Popcap games or Wisepilor Navigation. I am not interested that something not required spent my batery. After cleanup my battery is usable 1,5 times more.

That's more useful - it appears that the problem you need to address is not the ability to update - it's the ability to connect to your computer via USB.
Please go through this in order...
Disconnect the USB cable from the phone and PC.
Go into the Sony Ericsson menu and then Connectivity.
Go into USB connection mode and select Media Transfer Mode (MTP)
Go back from the menu to the main screen.
Run PC Companion on your PC - you will get the main window showing a message saying "No Phone Connected".
Plug the USB cable into the PC and then into the phone.
PC Companion should now say "Searching Phone".
If it doesn't find your phone - remove the USB lead from the PC then unintsall PC companion. Go to the Sony Ericsson website and download and re-install PC Companion. Then run it and try again.
If PC Companion still fails to find and connect to your phone, post back - you may need to run a registry cleaner such as CCleaner to fully remove any corrupted drivers.
If PC Companion finds your phone, it will show a message regarding available updates. If updates are available, follow the onscreen instructions to install them.
If there are updates but they fail to install - post back with details.
If there is any other message - such as saying that your phone cannot be updated - post back with exact details of the message - including your current version.
One important thing to bear in mind here that hasn't been mentioned so far is the method you used to root. If you used the unlocked bootloader method, then upgrading via official path, i.e. pc companion will definately result in you failing on update. As it will brick your phone and you will have to resort to this forum for a solution. However, if you rooted using the doomlord method you should be ok cos SE won't detect the modified software when attempting the update.

ST15 update is in place but if it will come to your phone is dependent on your provider and region
problem with upgrade
Hi, I had the same problem (rooted phone - locked bootloader) because I attepmted to upgrade the phone ota - through the phone. It did not work but at the same time from this moment on the phone was imossible to connect in the mode suitable for upgrade. The solution is SEUS because in this program the phone connects while it is switched off and it really works.
Hello guys,
Ive been lurking here for a while and i finally thought about joining the gang.
I cant find the LG E510 thread here so please move my thread if this place is inappropriate. Thank you.
I updated this E510 via the LG mobile support software and the install [after downloading firmware] got stuck at around 4% then at 14%
The software prompted me to remove the phone from connection, pull out the battery then try again. Now its stuck at boot screen.
I can start up the "Emergency Mode", where its the only way my PC can recognize the device connected. I tried using the LG software again but i get this:
Hard reset is said to be VolDown + Home + Power On yet it doesnt work, only gets to logo.
This is an unrooted phone that why i used LG-provided update software.
THe PC can detect the devices and installed drivers. The software can too, but this error is persistent.
A friend said something about disabling the LG modem in the device manager but i still get this error.
I have ADB which i used sometime ago with my HTC but the ADB says device not found.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much.
*** SOLVED
I dont know what exactly made it work but i did the following.
Disabled [not uninstall] all other devices installed by the phone except the LG Android Platform
- disable and restart. if uninstall is used windows will just install it again after restart. disable.
- may be a problem with my PC that it has difficulties connecting with the phone if the other child devices are on
Uninstalled the Update Software and Installed it again
This time i clicked Options > Update Recovery
- prompted for my Phone Model + SN or just the IMEI <- brainfart on my part shouldve seen this earlier
The software downloaded the exact same firmware V10H_00.kdz and installed it. Success!
Maybe there was something bad with the first one i downloaded being on WiMax connectivity.
I feel so stupid right now being unobservant and all...
Anyway thank you!
*I have LG G3 D855 16GB + SD Card Sandisk 32GB and i want to root using Kingo Root, I have windows 10 on my computer.
*My android version is 5.0/The latest for my phone, i checked at LG PC Suite.
*My computer have lg driver and LG PC Suite.
*My phone have CM Security + Applock, Hotspot Shield, McAfee Security and some games and application's.
*My phone,phone's settings/messages/photos/Gmail/Google Play Store/EMAIL/Google Settings/Downloads/Update Center Locked with password using Applock of CM Security.
*My phone's usb debugging is on.
*I want to keep my phone data, if i need to remove some applications i can but not reset the phone, but backup, reset and restore i can as the restore will not unroot my phone.
*How can i reduce the chance for brick my phone or fail root if i will root my phone?
*I want to success root my phone and not bricking it.
Not really much chance to brick. Just make sure you back up everything important to the cloud or PC before you start. I always download the original firmware too, just as a precaution. Kingo might work though I believe that the preferred method to root is via the LG One Click script. See here http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/d855-one-click-root-twrp-recovery-t3072767
Pls avoid using tools like kingo or Chinese tools when you have tested methods available right here. Even if you were to soft brick, it can be restored via a kdz flash. And try using the search function, there are several step by step guides for that device
I have a bit of a problem right now with my old LG P760.
So yesterday I was trying to install a custom rom on my old phone, so that I could update it to 4.4 KitKat. (It was running on the official OTA update 4.1.2 Jelly Bean) But I forgot what my password was so I couldn't unlock the phone. (It was rooted by the way) Then I hard reseted it so that i could go through the setup wizard and after that install the custom rom. Only I forgot i deleted the system keyboard. So when I was trying to type in the wifi password the keyboard wouldn't show up. And I cannot skip the setup wizard so that I could activate USB debugging. If anyone has a solution to this problem, then it would really help my out here. Thanks!
Hey. Go to https://www.lg.com/ru/support/support-mobile/lg-P765 download USB DRIVER and LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL in the Software & Firmware section, then install (on Windows 7), then turn off the phone, press the volume up button and hold it, connect it to the computer, if everything is normal, the phone will switch to s / w mode, LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL will detect the phone and in the additional section select recovery after unsuccessful update and wait. Perhaps some data will be deleted.
Actually I somehow fixed it by not setting up my wifi, and then I was able to skip the setup wizard. Then I installed a few necessary APK files (including Gboard) but then I started going crazy trying to unlock the bootloader and flashing a custom recovery. After messing too much with the root app flashify, I just about broke down after this mistake: I got the LG Security Error. So a few days after that I wanted to install the LG mobile support tool (I did not click on you're link yet btw), but it wouldn't install on my Asus laptop running Windows 10. So the next thing I'm gonna do is try you're link, and if that doesn't install, I'm simply running out of options. But anyway thank's for you're help!
