[CENTER]Common Questions and Problems KDZ Method:

1.Network connection error is NORMAL, move the window over and you'll see its actually most likely flashing

2.If your getting errors when doing the kdz method and running a custom rom that could be the problem and you'll need to use the TOT method.

3. Getting connection errors? Check under device manager to make sure you see LG something related under communication ports (Windows 8/10 ports might be hidden)

Make sure your using a USB 2.0 port!! USB 3.0 will NOT work.

Common Questions and Problems TOT Method:

If having an issue try and choose Board_ID on the TOT/DLL selection screen.

Make sure you've set your COM port to COM41

If device does not start flashing besure you unplug and replug the device

Make sure your using a USB 2.0 port!! USB 3.0 will NOT work.[/CENTER]

LGUP Method:​
Flashes both KDZ & TOT files:
Thanks to @shakeyabooti for LGUP!

Download LGUP from HERE
Install the file with the DLL name in them first and then LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3 Then copy the folder "common" to C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model (this should resolve unknown error)
Make sure you have downloaded the required KDZ file MM or LP
Open LGUP on your computer "make sure your phone is plugged in"
ARE YOU HAVING TROUBLE WITH LGUP NOT SEEING YOUR MOBILE?
Try this....... take the back off your mobile so you can get at the battery. Connect your mobile via USB. Start LGUP, if it does not see your phone DO NOT DISCONNECT, DO NOT RESTART OR TURN OFF LGUP. Take out the battery and then put it back in.......let the phone restart on its own. LGUP should now see it.

LG Drivers: in First post

TO DO A FULL WIPE AND INSTALL MM - Open the LGUP on your computer. FILE PATH point it towards the MM KDZ.
IMPORTANT!!!!!!! shut down LGUP!
Now open LGUP again - you will notice that the MM KDZ will still be showing in the FILE PATH section. Select REFURBISH and make sure BIN file is ticked. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient

TO GO BACK TO LP FROM MM - Open LGUP on your computer, click on FILE PATH and point it towards your LP KDZ. Close LGUP and re-open LGUP. Make sure you select REFURBISH this will do a FULL wipe, tick BIN file. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient
