Hi,
I've a LG optimus G Korean version (F180L). I'm facing issues to update official firmware in my mobile. While I try updating firmware using LG mobile support tool , I get error 'Not enough free disk space'.It's a brand new mobile and have lot of free space. I searched the forum for resolving this issue, but I couldn't find suitable solution.
Then I tried updating the firmware using KDZ tool as per instructions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861854
I entered into software mode by power button and volume up key simultaneously and upon LG logo pressed volume down key twice and then connected the device. I got a message as in the attachment(software mode),I don't know korean hence assumed it to be software mode. Then upon flashing I got the message as in attachment(flash error).
Can someone help me flash an english firmware in my mobile.
TIA
The screen says:
This is a state for service center's backup and upgrade.
Usual users, please dont use this state and leave it by holding the power button for 8 seconds.
Something like that.
Your logs says:
Port= -1
and PHONE NOT FOUND.
I bet you didnt install the drivers properly or you didnt choose the proper port

Contemplating trying to flash .kdz to downgrade firmware and regain root. Battery life seemed better when rooted, with 50+processes frozen (Titanium) and cpu profiles set (setCPU).
Before flashing the .kdz, which PC Connection mode do you select for the device (charge only/ mtp/ lg software)?

I didn't flash it using kdz tool, just updated firmware using LG mobile support tool and I used LG software mode for that.

I tried downgrading firmware via flashing .kdz but keep getting the PORT -1 error, not sure what I'm doing wrong...
- PC running Vista
- downloaded and installed LG USB driver using LG Mobile Support Tool, message indicates successful
- turn off device, reboot into service mode (hold power + vol up)
- connect device to PC via USB
- Device Manager, no LG modem listed **I think my problem lies here somewhere?**
- run Windows Enabler as admin, click in tray so "ON" is displayed
- run KDZ_FW_UPD_EN as admin, Type = 3GQCT
- navigate to appropriate .kdz file, press "launch software update"
- unpacks .kdz, then PORT -1, DEVICE NOT FOUND error occurs
any advice or insight would be appreciated. and Happy Holidays to everyone as well!
EDIT:solved. need to put device into Download Mode. power off. insert usb. hold power/ vol up/ vol down. release buttons when Download Mode icon apperars on screen. proceed. Cheers to boakun and l0ng0ne on the ICR channel.

Yes, I have a Korean device, since I live in South Korea. The firmware is Korean, with language set to English. When you set the language, literally everything is translated. I downloaded the firmware from LG servers using my own IMEI prior to upgrading to the latest ota that broke root for me.

Hi guys!
Just recently I bought the "HDC Galaxy Note 2" off of fastcardtech. I got it a few days ago, am fairly pleased with it except for the slight miscalibrated touch screen. There are some apps on various markets aiming to fix this by re-applying new calibrations. The problem is that you'll have to be rooted in order to run them.
The phone comes with a built-in calibration setting, called "Als_ps calibration", which you can utizile to correct the sensor. Alas, it only corrects the phone's recognition of obstacles placed above it, so that you accidentaly wouldn't press any undesired button during a call.
Phone: http://www.fastcardtech.com/Galaxy-Note-2-Mega
Here's what I've done so far!
Enabled USB-debugging and installed USB-drivers. [MT65xx_USB_Driver.zip]
Tried the bin4ry root method, normal mode. [Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18.zip]
This method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Everything works just fine until the phone reboots. Bin4ry is then unable to mount or copy the last files needed to apply root permission, see attached picture.
I have attached my specs in a screenshot, nevermind the quality, t'was done by another crap-camera! Sorry ;]
Any kind soul who can help me root this thing?
Edit:
Rooting this device has been made possible by GT35pro. See posts below.

I just created the cwm recovery and root. The link is on my blog. The zip file is password protected so be sure to get it from my blog page.

After you have clockwork mod recovery, use it to flash the root access into the phone.
Have fun!

Extra Guide
Follow the link provided by GT35pro in his first post.
To everyone attempting this flash;
!! First of all, copy the Superuser.zip to the root of your internal phone memory or external SD Card.!!
* Use a high-quality mini-USB cable (The one that comes with your phone should work just fine)
* Connect your MEGA to your pc, without the battery inserted.
(This device will connect and disconnect, when it's visible, be sure to grab it and follow the next step)
* Make sure that you have the right drivers for MTK65xx preloader "mtk65xx Vcom driver" and install them through the Device Manager.
* Insert your battery again, with the cable still connected, and install the second MTK65xx preloader.
* Disconnect phone from pc and remove the battery
* Start up Smart flash Tool and select the scatter file included in the package.
* Now, select and tick the checkbox for Recovery only. Smart Flash Tool will complain about the flash, due to it not containing all the appropriate files needed for a "secure boot". Nevermind that pop-up and proceed with downloading.
* Start Download
* Insert the battery and connect your phone to your pc, with that, the flashing should start.
* Boot Phone into recovery mode (pwr button and vol - or vol +) and install superuser from ZIP-file.
* After reboot you should be rooted.

Fun Fact!
I actually managed to install a pre-rooted HDC S7100 rom on my MEGA.
The port isn't 100% accurate
-Invalid IMEI, this was fixed by Talkingmobile's guide; " how to write imei number for MTK 65XX " -Just google it!
-Auto-rotation is unavailable, no fix yet.
-Als_pl calibration is unavailable (resulting in active screen during call)
Besides that, the rom is arguably better than the MEGA's original N7100 rom, in terms of visual presentation.
Smooth transitions, vivid and vibrant colors would be a good example of aspects that would come out as improved over the original rom.
Interested in the S7100 rom? Just PM me and I'll provide the link.
Cheers!
S_ft_need_download_all_fail (4050)
I'm trying for several days, but always get this error in the flash tool: S_FT_NEED_DOWNLOAD_ALL_FAIL (4050)
Tried on Windows 7 x64, Windows 7 x32 and Windows XP SP3 (x32). Only on the Windows XP computer I was able to make a backup with Flash Tool using the Read Back option.
When I try to flash the red bar goes to 100% then the error message shows...
Does anyone get this error aswell, and did someone manage to solve this?
Please help, I'm in desperate need for root because I need touch screen calibration.
Thnx!!
YES! SUCCES!! I managed to root my HDC Mage :laugh: Did use another method though, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490 if you are interested.
Anyway, now back to calibrating the touchscreen. What tools are good do fix touchscreen issues? I already tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934500, but I still am not satisfied.
Thnx :good:

Because I tried to order 5 different phones from China including Fastcardtech; they couldn't ship for some reason; even got an empty box from ZOPO mobile. I ended up buying the BLU here in the US, I'm kind of glad it happened, since now I have an N'vidia Tegra 4 CPU, that runs circles around the dual-core phones.
I did order one more phone on ebay from China, been waiting for 2 weeks now. MAKES ME WONDER IF THEY EVEN ACTUALLY SHIP TO THE US AT ALL?
Thank to Paypal I was able to get refunded everytime.

An 80Xx error does not always mean device not connected. It can also mean there is something not right in the scatterfile (error 8038). You should take a look at the sp flash tool logfiles. You can post them here so I can have a look.

There is something wrong in the layout of the scatterfile. Can you post the logiles of sp flash tool? Just zip them all together.
I have had the exactly the same error with my HDC Mage. I just had to rename a small section of the scatterfile and then it was all good.

also it's important to use rear usb ports if you are on a desktop pc.no usb hubs or usb extension cables. low quality cables can give you errors.
E977 Compatible
Thank you very much!!!!!!
Works on Optimus G E977 with ROM E97710C_00.kdz (1.10GB)
Confirm E987 compatible
Works perfect in E987 model in Argentina
Retail Argentina 10A more 1GB ! Thanks bro
Yest I reflashed my whole mobile with old flash tool with this setting
Type:3GQCT
Phone mode:Emergency (not CS_Emergency)
i flashed v10D kdz of India.
It showed me file extract error and it continued after that.
first time but very strange as it successfully flashed the complete file.
Hi guys,
I'm getting an error message (please find image attached).
I've followed the procedure step by step on one desktop PC and on a notebook, both running windows 7. My OG it's an E987.
Any ideas? thanks!

Hi! U could provide us a screen by screen capture of what u are doing? Also if u are in windows 7/8 or vista
Windows Vista, 7, 8 are using the KDZ flashing before you run the utility if you have to eliminate the possibility of error, open Explorer, in the Address bar, enter% programdata%, and then the move, LGMOBILEAX folder is found First, delete it.

If you can get into download mode by holding Vol Up and then connecting a USB cable (while the device is off) then this method will work for you.
http://www.rwilco12.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=96
Thank you @rwilco12 for hosting the download
1. Download the above Zip and extract it to a folder on your Desktop called "LG G2 Stock" (or whatever you prefer to name it).
2. Install LGUnitedMobileDriver from "LG G2 Stock" Folder
3. Install Setup_LGFlashTool from "LG G2 Stock" Folder (You will get a log in error if you try to open it)
4. Extract MegaLock.zip from the "LG G2 Stock" Folder to C:\LG\LGFlashTool and overwrite existing MegaLock.dll file. This gets around the Log in Error you got before when you tried to open it.
6. Put phone in Download mode by holding Volume up for a couple seconds and then plugging the phone in via USB.
7. Go to Windows Start Menu and under "search programs and files" type "device manager" and open it up.
8. Go to Ports (COM & LPT). You should see LGE AndroidNet etc... Right click it and go to Properties > Port Settings > Advanced > Change COM Port Number to COM41 > OK > OK > Close Device Manager
9. You should have a LGFlashTool shortcut on your desktop. Double Click it to open it up.
10. In the Model Config that opens up Select Manual Mode in top left.
11. For DLL browse to "LG G2 Stock" folder and select LGLS980_20130904_LGFLASHv151.dll file
12. For S/W browse to "LG G2 Stock" Folder and select LS980ZV7_01.tot file
13. Hit OK and then click the Yellow Arrow in top left of LG Flash Tool. Wait for it to say "READY!!"
14. Unplug your phone and power it off (it may reboot before you can power it off).
15. Go back into download mode and the stock ROM will start flashing on it's own. It should take no more than 10 minutes. It may stop around 80% but your phone will say 100% and reboot and Presto! Back to stock or unbricked! (Whichever you were trying to do)
:good:
Thanks and I hope this helps!
Woohoo!! Lol you my dude, just saved my backside,lol....GREAT JOB!!!!!!Many Thanks...
You, my dude, are welcome

I brricked my phone LG G2 Sprint and now i am in trouble ...phone not booting..
only i get the sideload via Recovery mode...
need a Recovery TWRP/CWM any...
and the way to flash the Recovery...
as i have changed the build.prop's setting
ro.build.target_operators= SPR
to
ro.build.target_operators= OPEN
and restarted it and then ..the ENd.
phone not starting...
tried to use LG Flash TOOL the .dll and .tot downloaded of Sprint
but the error comes for dll as i have changed build.prop to OPEN
so that LG FLASH TOOL is also not working..
figured out the solution but the way for these solution is still far...
just need the WAY for the solution..
Solution : Need to Replace the build.prop(OPEN) which is edited ONE ----> to-----> Original build.prop(SPR) [so that can use your said procedure]
if can't replace then should be able to edit the OPEN to SPR again
Only the things can work thru SIDELOAD only.
Also need a way to flash the Recovery in LG G2 SPRINT (so as to push or edit the build.prop) that to via SIDELOAD
The WAY : ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

I'm not sure why you would try that when the original post has the exact same steps explained much more clearly. I woUld refer to OP and maybe try again following STEP BY STEP
As your device is recognized by the flash tool as an LS980 it should work. If you need clarification on how to do a particular step or few then I am glad to assist.
Please Assist..
It would be a great pleasure...
Hi,
just bought the LG Optimus True HD LTE (this is the model name for this phone here in germany) and flashed it with CM10.1.3.
I'm thinking about to sell it again (accu drain, big display) but therefore I want to flash it back to Stock ROM (2.3.6 or 4.0.4). But I don't know where I can get 2.3.6 or 4.0.4 Stock ROM. I already wrote to LG support but no answer so far. Does someon has a download link?

Download the image you want from here
Download this
After that:
1- Place the phone in Download Mode (Turn off phone, then hold volume up while plugging in USB cable)
2-In the KDZ tools folder, install msxml and run B2CAppSetup (Close the application after it has installed)
3-Run Windows Enabler as Administrator, and press the icon in the system tray to activate it. (Windows enabler allows you to click on grayed out options to unlock them in programs. You can then set the option as you normally would.)
4-Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe. You need to set Type to 3GQCT, PhoneMode to CS_EMERGENCY, and point the KDZ file field to V10F_00.kdz or the one you downloaded.
Once these settings are enabled, hit the "Launch Software Update" button.
And there you go, back to stock !!
BTW, v10x are GB and v20x are ICS
Good Luck

Once these settings are enabled, hit the "Launch Software Update" button.
Step 1 OK
Step 2 OK
Step 3 OK
Step 4 KDZ FW_UPD.exe version 1.0.4.4 is not working on my side. But KDZ_FW_UPD.exe version 1.0.54 is working. But the user windows of version 1.0.4.4 doesn't look like the user windows of version 1.0.54. So I don't know how to configure this user window 1.0.54. Can anybody help me?
