I couldn't download the firmware on Original LG Firmware, but I figure it out:
You need to type in phone model: P500H, NOT JUST P500, and then the serial number of your phone.

If LG United is a must, then I think it fails on me. At some point in the update process it says ' the microsoft mtp driver is not found' and gives me a link from where I'm supposed to dl it. The link makes me save this Windows Update Standalone Installer and the error is: 'the update is not applicable to your computer'... The main LG United update finishes either way, but I'm guessing it's not enough without that MTP thing? Because I get 'phone not found' each time.

Bricked forever?

accidently deleted lg united driver. My phone looks like it is beyond repair.

Using this:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 on windows 8. Not sure why fastboot is non-functional

Edit: Reinstalled via mobile support tool. Hopefully will try fastboot.

Actually... I reset the phone before it broke... so maybe no usb Debug???:(

OK I tried my work lappy and it installed proper drivers and I could input fastboot commands, np. Here it's Win 7 Professional, SP1, if that helps any1.
After that, I installed the recovery image properly, it turns out that in my flash process, it didn't install correctly as described here: wiki .cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_p500
So now I could go on, finally! I thought my phone was a goner.

Couldn't find "original firmware" folder

When I followed the instructions: Right click on the "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe" and click RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR," it opened the software update screen rather than the ability to find the original software folder. Can you help? My LGV410 barely charges and is stuck in a loop at the Fastboot Menu. Thanks for your expertise.

    First, this method should work for all Optimus One variants. P500, P505, P506, P509, and a few others

    Second, a couple corrections, if you don't mind...

    Step 3: ... type down the serial number... This is incorrect. This should be IMEI number. IMEI and Serial are two different things.

    Step 4: ... Emergency mode!! in a green background... Emergency mode has a Yellow background and "Emergency Mode" printed on the screen in Red.


    Third,
    When something goes wrong, the device will first attempt to boot to recovery. If it can't boot to recovery for whatever reason, then the device will reboot to fastboot mode. From here there are other options, not just KDZ. KDZ should be the last line of defense as it has bricked many Optimus One's and it's variants. If the device drivers had been previously installed correctly to a Windows PC, then fastboot.exe or any GUI tool for fastboot.exe can flash a recovery that can then be used to repair/replace the device's OS. Linux/Unix users don't need drivers to communicate with USB devices, only a 51-android.rules file and a fastboot executable for Linux/Unix.

    Don't take what I've said the wrong way. I'm not trying to shoot your guide down. This is the kind of activity that is encouraged at XDA not discouraged ;) I just wanted to inform you that there are other options. :D
