Hi everyone,
I'm comparatively new here. I have LG Optimus G Pro F240L. When I connect it with LG PC Suite through my laptop, it shows the option to upgrade the firmware. However, the download is very slow. It just reached to 35% in three hours once and 37% the second time (I have 1MB DSL connection). Is there any way that I can download the official update manually, so that my phone do not need to be connected all the time with laptop.
Need expert opinion.
Thanks

Search the guide about flashing your mobile by LG Flashtool here. You can download latest firmware ( Officials or Custom ) available to your mobile by the given links in this forum..
So that way you can pause the download and resume it later when possible. Then flash your mobile with it..
But first you need to learn how to flash.. Which is quite easy if you follow the instructions..
Thanks a lot for the suggestion.
I have learned enough and have flashed my phone with 5.0.1 successfully
I had flashed my LG G Pro F240L with 4.4.2 and then 5.0.1 afterwards. Can I again go back to 4.4.2. If yes, how? As 5.0.1 is consuming lot of battery. One more question, when I want to dial in 5.0.1, it does not accept my country code and call ends with going through. I have to remove country code from my phone and then dial. This way it works. Any idea what to do?

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

LG Pc Suite Stop Workyng
hi, i try to update to 2.3.3 official my LG P500 via LG Updater,and about 5% Stop Program first time, and 2 time, and 3 time.... i unistaling and reinstaling LG Updater app, but no result ...
Now i turn back to 2.2.2 LOL ROM 1.4.2 (i used for 3-4 months) is very stable + root with GingerBread v 1.2, and is super, battery is good for my.
First of all, I apologize for having uploaded all the figures of my post in the "figure.zip" attachment, but I was not able to insert them as separate figures using the "insert image" function. I am a new user and perhaps I am not allowed to use this function.
I am not able to recover from a "soft brick" due to an aborted flash of a stock ROM. Here is the story.
I started working with this LG phone:
Model: L9 P760 (Vodafone brand)
OS Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean (it was previously updated form ICS through the official upgrade from LG)
SW Version: P760 20d-262-02
Kernel: 3.0.31
Build: JZ054K
Baseband: L626_MODEM_SIC_01.1230.00
My goal was to re flash with another JB stock ROM, so upgrading its release and getting an unbranded phone.
I downloaded this stock ROM kdz file: V20H_00.kdz
Then I tried to flash with a procedure derived from this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085344
The main difference was related to the fact that I did not put the smartphone in S/W Upgrade status at the beginning, I connected it to USB port when it was power on and set the PhoneMode to "DIAG" instead of "EMERGENCY". The phone went in "S/W Upgrade" mode during the flash procedure.
I worked on my laptop, the operating system is Windows 7 Professional, SP1 64 bit.
A problem occurred during the update: the LG Mobile Support Tool crashed and the phone remained in "S/W upgrade" status. I restarted the LG Mobile Support Tool, but I was not able to make it continue the update. Then I disconnected the phone from USB and removed the battery. When I re inserted the battery the phone did not boot anymore.
Now my LG L9 P760 does not start pushing the normal power on button.
It does not make a factory reset if I push Power on, home and vol- buttons
There are no any combination of buttons I can start for having any reaction from my LG L9.
Then, I tried to recover from this "soft brick" status in the way I describe hereunder.
1) I removed everything related to LG from my laptop (LG Mobile tool -including LGMOBILEAX directory under C:\ProgramData- and LG drivers)
2) I installed the following LG SW:
LG drivers, rel. 3.11.3, from a file named: LGUnitedMobileDriver_S50MAN311AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.11.3.exe
LG Mobile Support Tool rel. 1.7.3.0, installed through this program: B2CAppSetup.exe, running in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode. From file properties , tab "details" I read this B2CAppSetup.exe is ver. 1.0.1.7.
3) I connected the smartphone to my laptop through the USB cable. After about 10 - 15 seconds it went in SW upgrade mode. At least, I see "S/W Upgrade - Please Wait while upgrading...." on the LG L9 screen. BTW, that occurs every time I connect the smartphone to my PC, in any cases: removing the battery or not removing it, pressing or not the vol+ button... In any cases it goes in that state.
Before connecting the smartphone, this is what Device manager showed:
[pls see devManager-phoneNotConnected.PNG in figure.zip]
After I connected the smartphone through USB, this is what Device Manager displayed:
[pls see devManager-phoneConnected.PNG in figure.zip]
Without starting the LG Mobile Support Tool I saw that after some minutes its display did not show the "S/W upgrade" message anymore, nothing was displayed. And after about 10 seconds the "S/W Upgrade.." message came back again. It is like the smartphone tried to connect to some applications running on the laptop, but did not find any process there, then it retried, and so on.
When the LG display was black, the Device manager output was like it was before connecting the smartphone to USB port. When "S/W Upgrade..." came back on the LG display, LG devices came back on Device Manager output.
4) At this point, when "S/W Upgrade.." was displayed on LG I started the LG Mobile Support Tool. It seemed it was able to recognize my smartphone, as I saw this output.
[pls see LG_MobileSupportTool-start.PNG in figure.zip]
But waiting for 1 or few minutes without doing anything the "S/W upgrade..." message disappeared on my LG display and LG Mobile Support Tool showed this output:
[pls see LG_MobileSupportTool-start01.PNG in figure.zip]
It was like the connection between the smartphone and the LG Mobile Support Tool could not be kept, or was not stable.
5) Anyway, when the connection seemed to be ok I selected the choice "Upgrade Recovery" under "Options" menu choice, and the recovery procedure started. This is the sequence output I saw on the LG Mobile Support Display:
[pls see LG_MobileSupportTool-start02.PNG in figure.zip]
[pls see LG_MobileSupportTool-start03.PNG in figure.zip]
[pls see LG_MobileSupportTool-start04.PNG in figure.zip]
But during the "Upgrading your phone..." phase, the process was always blocked at 15% of its execution (it remained at 15% for a relatively long time, let's say 2 or 3 minutes) and I read this output:
[pls see LG_MobileSupportTool-start05.PNG in figure.zip]
Now, if I retry the procedure (with or without disconnecting the phone, removing the battery and so on and the reconnecting) I get this message if I push the "retry" button when the LG display is black.
[pls see LG_MobileSupportTool-start06.PNG in figure.zip]
Otherwise, If LG display indicates "S/W Upgrade..." the procedure restarts, but always with the same result: it aborts at 15% of progress, and LG Mobile Support Tool shows the same error:
I tried a lot of alternatives avoiding to download the ROM image online from LG site. I tried the procedures I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085344 and also here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190, where I found an interesting and more recent tool for an off line KDZ flash.
I tried to flash a couple of diferent KDZs: v20c_00.kdz -ICS- and V20H_00.kdz (JB) but always the procedure was aborted during the update.
I believe my problem should be related to 3 main factors:
Some issues on LG drivers, also if somehow my phone is detected by LG Mobile Support Tool, when I connect it via USB cable.
Some issues with the LG tools I use (or perhaps I do not configure everything needed in the right way, or perhaps there are issues with Windows 7 64 bit)
Some issues with the kdz I use. Perhaps I could adopt some othe stock ROMs (also if I have already tried with 2 different KDZ).
I tried these procedure using other PCs, another Win 7 64 bit and an XP SP3 32 bit, but basically the problem is always the same: the recovery / flash procedure is aborted at 15% of its progress.
Who could give me any advices on what could be the reason of this fault, and on what procedure I could do?
I have not tried anything related to adb or fastboot till now, as in my opinion my issue should not require these tools in order to be solved. I mean, my LG L9 easily goes in "S/W Upgrade.." mode, so it does not seem the problem is related to a boot loop status. Anyway, could a flash via fastboot solve my issue?
Pls help me, I can give you every additional details it could be useful...
Thank you in advance!

TY BajoPrimate, that thread gives me a hope!
But I still need your help. I tried that procedure, and I got an error very similar to the others described there: download failed after 6 sec..... So I tried to download the bin image for P760 that you indicated here, but the URL "http://uploaded.net/f/xh3dqq " seems to be not reachable anymore....
Where could I find a binary image to flash for my P760?
Do you want me to describe the error I got in a post on that thread? Of course I'll do if that is more correct in your opinion.
TY very much in advance!

Hi Rosso Corsa, you're welcome.
The download link works fine for me.
Try again from your computer or with another browser (i. e. dolphin).

BajoPrimate, ty for your support.
I tried do get to this address:
uploaded.net/f/xh3dqq
And also to this one (after having seen the image you posted in your last append:
uploaded.net/file/j32p8p7y/from/xh3dqq
but in both the cases I got a "Unable to connect" message.
I tried from my laptop with Firefox, Internet Explorer and Chrome, getting always the same result.
Do you know what I could try to get this bin image?
On alternative, do you know any other address where I could find a bin image for my LG P760?
It seems the tool for getting a bin image from kdz is not running correctly. At least I got the same error messages others indicated....
TY very much!

Hello peeps!
This is a small guide to install Lollipop 5.0.2 update to your LG G2 D802T(For other variants,it can work too). I installed it today, and the process was extremely simple! Keep in mind, this is the OFFICIAL update, so before you proceed forward, make sure your device isn't rooted , and is running the stock OS!
Shall we begin?
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Download the attached zip file.Extract the attached zip file, and install the tool.
2) Run the tool. Click on "USB drivers" option on your left. It will download the driver's setup files(I had to install two).
3) Install all the drivers.
4)Connect your phone to your computer.
5)The tool will start searching for the update. As soon as the search finishes, it will show "New software update available".
6) Click on "Start upgrade" option on the left.
7) That's it! The software will automatically download and install the lollipop upgrade for you!:fingers-crossed:
Keep in mind that during the installation, DO NOT unplug your phone from your pc,as your phone might get bricked(In English, screwed)!
Keep patience too, since the file is HUGE, and might take some time, depending on your Internet speed. I have a fast internet connection , and it took me totally about 47 min to download and install.
Cheers! :laugh:
UPDATE: I tested the battery for two days, with some heavy use and got a screen on time of 6 hours+, and was left with 8 % battery! The battery life has improved pretty significantly !
Thanks for sharing knowledge
There's one issue that im constantly facing.
Whenver i press update button via "LG Support Tool", a pop up appears stating " Your Phone is on ICS and it'll be upgraded to JB first and then Kitkat"?? Did you came across any of this?
I'm using Kitkat 4.4.2 and i dont know if its a glitch or something.
I'm using latest LG Support Tool and my phone is not rooted.
It worked for my too. I got from 4.4.2 to 5.0.2 (V30d-EUR-XX) thanks to this tutorial and I'm thankful because the OTA didn't work.

Hi everyone, my first post on XDA.
My wife and I both own a LG G8X thin q ATT branded phone - LM-G850UM1. Both phones were working on red pocket until my phone updated to Android 11. I don't know how that happened except I turned on developer mode on my phone and selected auto update. I think that may have caused that. I've since turned that off. But now my phone is on Android 11 and won't take or make callse.
My wifes phone, same model but using Android 10 works just fine still.
So far my only hope is to try to flash the phone back to android 10 but there's a catch. The KDZ file i found says it's for canada on the LG fan site.

My wifes phone shows G850UM20e as the version but on the LG fan site is shows this as canada? ATT is in the USA - leavine me confused.
Could I use the kdz file to flash to my phone? Not sure if it will brick it. Also are there drivers needed to install on the phone? I know there's a usb driver to connect the phone to a pc to flash it, but I thought I read someone saying you have to install the phone drivers to the phone.
Any advice, I'm all ear.

Make a backup copy of the firmware from her phone.If you're still using AT&T as your provider,flashing a different firmware won't fix the VoLTE issues.You need the AT&T firmware on the device for it to work.If you do make a copy of it I could use a copy as well for my G8x.
