You will just need to unroot via ginger break and you will be ready for official update via official tools.

So far, KDZ has done nothing for me except for brick two phones. I've followed your instructions implicitly and they ultimately failed, resulting in a phone that would not turn on. About six months ago, when I first got an Optimus, I had attempted to install Clockwork Mod using Rom Manager, and the result was a phone that would only boot into recovery mode with the three button combo, else it would just end up in an eternal boot loop.
Someone on another forum recommended using KDZ to flash the official firmware (V10C I think at the time) and the result back then was the same. KDZ crashed halfway through the process and the phone would no longer turn on.
I've read conflicting information on this, stating that KDZ will only work on Windows XP 32 bit w/ service pack 3 (which I had at the time I attempted to flash six months ago) and that it should run on any version of Windows. I was running KDZ from Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit this last time.
All in all, I would not recommend KDZ to anyone except someone who has already bricked their phone and is just using it as a last ditch effort to regain functionality. Worst case scenario, it should **** the phone up enough that your cell phone provider won't be able to figure out what you did to the phone. That's what I'm hoping, otherwise T-mobile will be tacking an extra $300 onto my phone bill next month.

umm.. hello this tutorial is for p500 only. Not for p509
Me and many others have installed official firmware using kdz.
Kdz was the only way to install cfw on p500 with ofw 2.2.1 and above before the arrival of gingerbreak.
I have used KDZ updater on my old gt540 many many times and on my O1 now for several times.Only windows vista gave my problems. You can always test it by "read phone info" first. If it works fine, the update will go fine as well.

Can this method be used to flash that final Romanian 2.3 kdz that was leaked? This process seems to be kinda risky...
Does KDZ Updater work with Windows 7 64-bit? If not, would it work on Windows XP via VMware? Thanks!
Trying to use KDZ Updater but when phone goes to Emergency Mode the whole process just stops. So I have to unplug my phone and restart it and nothing gets updated. I followed all instructions to the letter but no luck
did you move your apps to sd card. in my case kdz did not even detect the phone and crashed when it was doing so.
Hi all,
Since I purchased my P500 already rooted and with a custom ROM installed, I want to learn this KDZ process so I'm able to return my phone to stock settings in the case I want to sell it in the near future. I've already downloaded the original stock firmware specific to my mobile carrier (using the process described on another post that uses the phone's serial number).
My specific questions are:
1-) I don't care about saving anything currently on my phone or SD card, because all my important data (contacts, calendar, email) is in Google's cloud. Since I'm currently using LOL 1.4.2 which uses DarkTremor script (so all my apps are actually on the SD), do I have to do that step of "moving apps to internal memory"??. If the whole firmware is going to be replaced do I have to care about moving apps from the SD before starting the KDZ process?
2-) I've seen some people ask about doing the process with a Windows 7 machine but information does not seems conclusive. Will this process work normally on a Windows 7 32-bit laptop? What about a Windows 7 64-bit laptop (I have two computers)
What I hoping to do is learn and apply this process and take my phone back to stock, and then I want to do the whole process of rooting and flashing it back to LOL 1.4.2. I've tackled pretty well the Custom Recovery and ROMs process, but it will be the first time rooting because I didn't do the rooting on my current phone.

I have done the update through Win 7 32bit and it went smooth.

I flashed to GB v20g using LGMDP on my 64bit Win7 machine. KDZ updater did not work. After a few seconds running it just stopped responding. But everything went smooth with lgmdp

66Since most of all are newbs and don't want to get into all the android jargon I created a small tutorial from all the existing ones.
Q: What is this tutorial meant to do?
A: Help you to update/flash official firmware on your phone [helpful for those with slow or no internet connection]
So first off all you need to download the following files.
KDZ updater
LG official firmware android version v2.2.2 build v10E created by VIjayKumar
A major part of the procedure is created by victortangocharlie, rest edited by me (pictures etc)
victortangocharlie and edited by nikhil4186 said:Procedure to install original firmware using KDZ-FW-UPD.exe ( KDZ FIRMWARE UPDATER )
[Note: This procedure was used to install V10E_00.kdz(android2.2.2) over V10b_00.kdz(android2.2) on an unbranded Indian GSM model of LG P500 using a Windows xp 32bit service pack 3.]
1. Install LG PC Suite IV from SD card which came with phone by connecting the phone to PC through USB cable. This is done to install the drivers for the phone on the PC (the procedure is as follows)
- Enable the 'USB Mass Storage Only' mode in the phone's Settings/SDcard & Phone Storage menu.
- Connect phone to PC with the USB Cable.
- Press the 'Turn on USB Storage' button which appears on phone.
- Browse to the folder containing the 'LG PC Suite IV' on the phone's SD card using Windows Explorer and run the LG Installer file. PC Suite will now install on your system along with the required drivers for your phone.
- Cancel setting up PC Suite or continue setting up PC Suite if you want to Sync or backup the phone data.
- After closing PC Suite, Safely remove the USB device from your system.
- Press the 'Turn off USB Storage' button on phone screen.
- Detach the USB Cable.
- Disable the 'USB Mass Storage Only' mode in the phone's Settings/SDcard &Phone Storage menu.
2. Remove the screen lock
3. Charge the phone to the maximum.
4. Enable USB Debugging on Phone (Settings/Applications/Development).
5. Detach all other peripherals from your PC. Exit all running applications on your PC especially other PC suites if any. Also exit running programs from the notification bar on the desktop. (Also uninstall Nokia or other phone drivers & microsoft visual ++ runtime environments - not an essential step.)
6.[IMPORTANT] Disable 'LGE Virtual Modem' in PC's Device Manager. (In your Windows operating system, go to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Right click on LGE Virtual Modem and click Disable.)
If this step is not followed the Phone will get bricked!
7. Move all the apps from the SD Card to phone memory and then Unmount the SD card from the phone (Settings/SDcard & Phone Storage) so as to remove it (physically) from the phone.
8. Open the phones back cover and remove the SD Card.
9. Download KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.7z onto your PC and extract it to a folder. Available HERE.Direct Download Link. (MD5 of 7zip file - 813A28BE9182AB604A1D43E745CE7AD7)
10. Run the msxml.msi file and complete the installation.
11. Connect the phone to PC with USB Cable.( If you are using a desktop PC, make sure you use USB ports that are in the back of your PC, avoid the front ports.)
12. Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe from the extracted folder.
13. Chose TYPE as 3GQCT & Phone Mode as DIAG.
14. In the 'KDZ file' space, browse for the firmware you want to install. (In this case V10E_00.kdz)
15. Press the 'Launch software update' button.
16. The firmware flashing process is now underway.
If all goes well, in 5-10 minutes the phone will be flashed with the new firmware.
I shall describe in detail what happened with my phone - 10-15 seconds after launching software update on PC, my phone screen turned blank and in a couple of seconds the phone entered the 'Emergency Mode'. During this mode the screen was yellow with Emergency Mode written along the middle of the screen. Also you can check the progress on your computer in the KDZ updater. I have attached a text log file for you to compare. When the update is finished the KDZ updater will show a message in the log screen itself as =FINISHED=. The phone stays the same way till the Software update procedure finished on the pc and the phone turnes blank in the end. I waited a while for it to reboot but after a minute or so, I manually switched on the phone. The phone came alive and following the LG boot animation, the android logo screen came up. The phone takes about 2 or more whole minutes in that state before booting up fully and entering the home screen.
17. After booting up fully, detach the phone from the pc.
Go to 'About Phone' in Settings and confirm the change from 2.2 to v2.2.2
I have attached my LOG file so you acn compare it with yours.
After the update all the settings etc etc were the same. I also did not back up my phone.

Although KDZ is meant for LG phones, i am not sure whether it would work with optimus 2x.1thanxxx buddy...now i will update it asap after i buy it next month..
damn, you don't even have the phone! what was the nagging all about? lol
