Make sure the server is running and that the correct hosts file is being used.

B2CAppSetup.exe continues to throw an error

after putting the HOSTS file in place (blocking csmg.lgmobile.com) this application says I need to connect my PC to the internet and press continue. You dont state in your instructions what to hit. "Continue" keeps popping up the same window and cancel kicks me out of the install. Suggestions?


***********
Step 4 says SOFTWARE FOLDER (which doesnt work) but the one in the FLASHING folder works. you may want to update your instructions.

Try just moving the pop up out of the way and continuing with the process ... And let us know what it says ...

I can verify that neither cancelling or ignoring the popup about connecting to check for updates works. When I reach the flashing portion, it gives me an error stating that the B2CAppSetup.exe file needs to be installed. Apparently, if it does not update, it will not install. I'm using Windows 7. Any ideas to fix this?

Hmmm, here's what I did... I ran through the process until I got the error about B2CAppSetup not being installed. I clicked ok, went back and installed it again and this time it came up with the update/internet connection error and the software installed (the update/internet connection error stayed up). I ran through the B2CAppSetup program until it errored out, not being able to connect. I then closed it and continued with the update process as your guide states. Everything seemed ok, I did get a boot loop, but I wiped the data and everything seems ok. One question though... I have lost cwm and have the stock recovery. Is this normal?

Yes. When flashing a kdz file, you'll lose root and CWM.

Actually just flashed this 5 different ways with same result. Either half characters or no font at all on most windows. Also no sound at all. Stumped.

Edit 1:Ah, crap...any rom I try now yields missing characters in dialog boxes and in menus such as settings.

Edit 2: whew! thrill seeker 2.1 seems to work.

Hmm. I'll need to check in to that then.

You only need the LG Flash Package and the V20P_00.kdz
LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN36AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.6 is already included.

You shouldn't need the internet. Just make sure you know exactly how to do it from the guide.

LG update tool

Can someone help me find an lg update tool that actually works????

no matter where i download it from it wont install, it hangs and keeps
telling me that there was an error in the microsoft extensions?!?

i followed steps to reset the winsock settings thru command prompt
and thru the browsers themselves and B2CApp.exe still won't download.
i get the same error...

is there something else i should be doing? something i'm doing wrong?
an alternate place to download B2CApp??

and i also tried the flash package and the B2CApp also gives me the same error.

Thanks in advance!

    Thank you The Dark Lestat for this method its working 100%

    I could not complete step 4:
    •In the "Software" folder, install the "B2CAppSetup.exe" file

    i got the same message :

    "To check for software upgrades, you need to connect your PC the internet and press "Coutinue"".

    SO I IGNORE IT and continue to the next steps.

    BTW I found this Vid:
