[TUTORIAL]Update firmware through flashing the kdz files( With Picture )Step by Step
- Thread starter esag21
- Start date
The only countries that I know, that still on v10a are Argentina and Puerto Rico...
You can update via kdz (if you don't have update notification by OTA or LG Update Software).
If you find any problem with phone network, you can always downgrade to your official version.
Don't forget that its your responsability to do it.
Sometimes only without battery the device is detected by the program, soo... follow the steps 5 and 6 won't hurt.
If someone don't, and have a error during the process, it will be "bad" info
I tried to update my 4X tody using this tutorial, in the final the device just turned off, so I disconected the usb cable and turned on, after boot I saw that the firmware didn´t change. What did I make wrong?

is that so, i thought that the step is for us to able to reach the software update mode.
for me its work fine, anyway its just another option to enter the software update mode for us who lazy to pull and put back the battery
hi, first thanks to all of you for your usefuly information and this tutorial. i am from mexico and we are still stuck at v10a...sadly. I want to update to another newer firmware, i was thinking the europen v10h, what do you think about? some people say F is better, some say H and some another letter. i'll apreciate your opinion and i hope don't bother the senior members if they think this post is garbage, because i did looked for information and i don't know which firmware to choose. thanks
If you're going to try the euro_open, better try the v10h, its the latest one.
Don't forget about factory reset before upgrade and after root.
Pay attention to tutorials.
Good luck :good:
Ok, I've been reading the Optimus G forum and they do this method, differently...
check out their method:
Maybe we should use CS_EMERGENCY instead of DIAG? Maybe it will flash the whole KDZ, wiping our device completely, removing root and applications?
Can anyone try?

The "CS", might means "Chip Select, a control line in digital electronics" or "Circuit Switching (or circuit-switched), a form of telecommunications".
(searched on Wikipedia, "Computing and technology")
I'm not sure if this contributs for a cleaner install.
Probably for bricked devices when we can't select upgrade mode using the normal keys...
If someone have a better idea or sugestion or knows exactly what it means and what it does, I'll appreciate a reply
Thank you

Well, there's an EMERGENCY option aswell... doesn't have the CS...
Someone would have to test it... maybe it will flash the whole firmware, a fresh clean install... with no garbage from previous firmwares...

I really think we should use EMERGENCY instead of DIAG... might be nothing or might be everything hehe
To flash a new version "EMERGENCY" is required!
Even to flash the same version "EMERGENCY" is the best.

Downgrade to V10A, factory reset, upgrade directly to V10H.
Be sure that kdz it's a proper one.
no, there is no need to downgrade to an earlier firmware. just go to app settings, camera, and clear your data and cache. force stop it, then start it again as per normal. i had the exact same problem as you

i can't get KDZ FW UPD.exe to run properly on Windows 8 Pro x64
I've set it to run in compa mode for Windows 7 and as administrator.
Sorry if the solution is posted somewhere else im just lazy to do a search
maybe if there's any solution it can be put together with the flashing guide.
Edit: fixed: Have to install msxml.msi too.

Close the program and restart it. be sure that you don't have any .cab file in that folder.
Give time for the windows recognise the device. sometimes takes 2 minutes because of windows update search...

138Here we go ( Read all instruction and comment before start flashing ) :
1 ) Download these 3 apps: http://www.4shared.com/rar/Re4VCOAS/kdz- udpate.htm (the original link is deleted, re-uploaded by RuedasLocas)
To get KDZ file you can find it here : http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15
2 ) Once downloads complete Extract the file (ex.: C:\KDZ\) and u will get folder like this :-
3) Install B2CTools LG ( B2CAppSetup.exe ) this file is located on the folder that yr extract before .
4) Run LGMobile update (must be on your desktop) and install the usb drivers .
5 ) Turn off yr device and remove the battery .
6 ) Now just hold down vol - key ( hold hold hold dont release !!!! ) and plug the USB cable until you get screen like this :-
7 ) Wait for while due to yr computer will install some driver . Once the install is complete find "Device Manager" > Modems > disable the LGE Mobile USB Modem on yr computer ( me using win 7 -----> start ---> computer ---> right click / and you can find device manager )
8) Run as administrator KDZ_FW_UPD.exe ( file located at step no 2 )
9) - Run as administrator Windows Enabler.exe ( file located at step no 2 ) . After run the app, an icon will appear on your tray, single-click on the icon util the "ON" text appears over the icon like this :-
10 ) Go back to KDZ, locate press on the yellow folder and locate the .kdz file that you want to flash
11) Click on "Launch Software Update"
12 ) Please see below picture !! Very important !!!! Now standby to put yr battery back !!!!!!
When the log start to run, put the battery back on. ( thanks to RuedasLocas ) im copy from u
13 ) - WAIT until your phone reboots automatically and unplug the cable , ( ALL IS DONE ) please check yr firmware on yr phone ....
- Dont care about the errorlog, it's normal
If you got only bootloop after flash .kdz, just do a hard reset:
- press and hold [vol -] and [power] until you got the "android recovery figure" and wait until they reboot again.
INFO !
When you tried to update yr LG Optimus 4x HD , the error comes " Your Device Is Not Registered Yet "
That because you're using different version than the original country and you wont receive OTA update .
The only way to get it back is by using LG software or KDZ method and install yr country's firmware.
I hope this will help for those want to update firmware via KDS
And thanks to RuedasLocas because always help if we in trouble .. Thanks bro ..............
Before start flashing please do backup first ( yr photos , Videos , music on yr SD card )
