I'm trying to install a custom rom on a new lg thrill but first i'm trying to update phone to v20p. I'm having trouble at the beginning of process and can't locate shttp3.exe file in the server folder.

I've downloaded the V20P_00.kdz file. I've downloaded the LG Flash Package and extracted the files from the LG Flash Package using 7zip like instructed. When I go to step 2 and go to drivers folder, I install the lgUnitedmobiledriver....exe with no problems. When I go to the server folder to launch shttp3.exe file there is no file. There are only the www.folder. Am I missing something? I've looked int he www.folder and can not find the shttp3.exe file. :confused:

Your antivirus probably deleted it.

Thanks. I've started the update using the LG tool. It seems like it is going OK. It is very easy. Download tool from LG. Put phone on usb debugging and mock locations and let her rip. Can't wait to flash.

Are you rooted?
If so, I'll need to make a new version.

SUCCESS

Finally able to return to full stock kinda followed theses directions http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1561378&page=3
The trick for me was to
uninstall all drivers LG, open LG Supports tool
let it install drivers while battery is removed
do a recover phone (battery still removed)
let it get as far as it will go with battery removed then it will most likely say lost comm. with your phone at this point install battery (do NOT power on) remove/reinsert usb and hit restart and voila' no more CWM and it updates you to 2.3.5 GB stock rom rooted now just use superoneclick to unroot and here ya go LG take this phone and shove it...

I told you ... you had to follow it step by step or it wasnt going to work ... the first step in the lg flash tool is to UNINSTALL all LG drivers and restart the computer

No need for haste LOL. see I was trying the op's method with the recovery flash tool but that did not work. However the LG customer support tool does flash the stock 3e recovery over top of clockworkmod based recoveries. Thanks all for your help

    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:
