I got a LG optimus P500 recently in India. I installed the LG PC suite backup on laptop running windows 7 and connected my phone successfully.
The software wanted me to sync phone data with pc which i did not do. Later I tried updating my phone software (disabled mass storage mode in settings).
Two options here 1. Backup and continue 2. Continue without backup.
The first time I proceeded with "backup and continue". Program stopped running and crashed immediately ( Is is cos PC suite was running on W7? ).
The second time I proceeded with "Continue without backup". It went on to install a new update installer and continued with "downloading update". Successfully downloaded the whole update and my phone went into emergency mode for 15 mins. After this it got stuck there and no progress. I had to remove the battery and restart the phone and found it in same condition as it was before update.
So my problems are
1. How can I backup data?
2. How can I update firmware?
I possibly know about rooting and custom ROM's, but have some warranty issues pending (dust inside the screen), so the above stuff would not probably be fruitful.
Can someone help me with this?. I'm very sure that I am going wrong somewhere !!!!!!!!!!!

Okay a basic course:
I use Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit, and LG PC Suite always crashes for some reasons on it (thanks LG for the ****ty softwares, even the latest version). That's not a big deal though, because sincerely I think everyone here can approve this, LG's PC Suite is practically useless. Stop worrying about it.
For you questions:
1. You can use random applications found on the Android Market to backup your data on your sd card and then transfer it to your pc if you wish to. If you want to go further, root your device (preferably with Gingerbreak) and then use Titanium Backup.
2. Since we dont have v2.3.x update (gingerbread) out for our phone yet, there's no use to upgrade to any official LG stock rom, they are practically all the same. If you wish, once you got your phone rooted, you can flash a rom on it, through a "Recovery" to experience better performance. If you want to know more then just ask.

lg pc suite has resulted in dead phones for many the only way to revive is to use kdz updater and follow error guide and flash your desired updated rom via kdz.iknow your phone is not dead though try the three button combo and check if it helps orelse kdz is the solution.
regarding backup of data-if u mean app and games that can be done through titanium but u need root permission so just root it and backup using titanium and than again unroot it.simple the lg ppl wont get any hint of what u did.
if data -means ur phone os than i am not aware as custom recovery works the best
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038338 this might help u somehow i beleive and the error link is in the thread itself
thanks for that..
thanks to both above...
I would certainly root the mobile once i get my phone to service center for warranty claim ( it has dust specs inside the screen -must be between display and touch panel)...
Happy to see so much going on to help ppl customize their phones so much... If not you ppl then android and optimus would have been dead years back...
Use gingerbreak to root your phone. Titanium to backup. Again unroot via gingerbreak. If you give phone for lg service ask them to upgrade. Or use KDZ flasher to flash LG rom from official site. It does not void your warranty
I hope this will help. Do it at your own risk

LG Pc Suite Stop Workyng
hi, i try to update to 2.3.3 official my LG P500 via LG Updater,and about 5% Stop Program first time, and 2 time, and 3 time.... i unistaling and reinstaling LG Updater app, but no result ...
Now i turn back to 2.2.2 LOL ROM 1.4.2 (i used for 3-4 months) is very stable + root with GingerBread v 1.2, and is super, battery is good for my.
First of all, I apologize for having uploaded all the figures of my post in the "figure.zip" attachment, but I was not able to insert them as separate figures using the "insert image" function. I am a new user and perhaps I am not allowed to use this function.
I am not able to recover from a "soft brick" due to an aborted flash of a stock ROM. Here is the story.
I started working with this LG phone:
Model: L9 P760 (Vodafone brand)
OS Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean (it was previously updated form ICS through the official upgrade from LG)
SW Version: P760 20d-262-02
Kernel: 3.0.31
Build: JZ054K
Baseband: L626_MODEM_SIC_01.1230.00
My goal was to re flash with another JB stock ROM, so upgrading its release and getting an unbranded phone.
I downloaded this stock ROM kdz file: V20H_00.kdz
Then I tried to flash with a procedure derived from this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085344
The main difference was related to the fact that I did not put the smartphone in S/W Upgrade status at the beginning, I connected it to USB port when it was power on and set the PhoneMode to "DIAG" instead of "EMERGENCY". The phone went in "S/W Upgrade" mode during the flash procedure.
I worked on my laptop, the operating system is Windows 7 Professional, SP1 64 bit.
A problem occurred during the update: the LG Mobile Support Tool crashed and the phone remained in "S/W upgrade" status. I restarted the LG Mobile Support Tool, but I was not able to make it continue the update. Then I disconnected the phone from USB and removed the battery. When I re inserted the battery the phone did not boot anymore.
Now my LG L9 P760 does not start pushing the normal power on button.
It does not make a factory reset if I push Power on, home and vol- buttons
There are no any combination of buttons I can start for having any reaction from my LG L9.
Then, I tried to recover from this "soft brick" status in the way I describe hereunder.
1) I removed everything related to LG from my laptop (LG Mobile tool -including LGMOBILEAX directory under C:\ProgramData- and LG drivers)
2) I installed the following LG SW:
LG drivers, rel. 3.11.3, from a file named: LGUnitedMobileDriver_S50MAN311AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.11.3.exe
LG Mobile Support Tool rel. 1.7.3.0, installed through this program: B2CAppSetup.exe, running in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode. From file properties , tab "details" I read this B2CAppSetup.exe is ver. 1.0.1.7.
3) I connected the smartphone to my laptop through the USB cable. After about 10 - 15 seconds it went in SW upgrade mode. At least, I see "S/W Upgrade - Please Wait while upgrading...." on the LG L9 screen. BTW, that occurs every time I connect the smartphone to my PC, in any cases: removing the battery or not removing it, pressing or not the vol+ button... In any cases it goes in that state.
Before connecting the smartphone, this is what Device manager showed:
[pls see devManager-phoneNotConnected.PNG in figure.zip]
After I connected the smartphone through USB, this is what Device Manager displayed:
[pls see devManager-phoneConnected.PNG in figure.zip]
Without starting the LG Mobile Support Tool I saw that after some minutes its display did not show the "S/W upgrade" message anymore, nothing was displayed. And after about 10 seconds the "S/W Upgrade.." message came back again. It is like the smartphone tried to connect to some applications running on the laptop, but did not find any process there, then it retried, and so on.
When the LG display was black, the Device manager output was like it was before connecting the smartphone to USB port. When "S/W Upgrade..." came back on the LG display, LG devices came back on Device Manager output.
4) At this point, when "S/W Upgrade.." was displayed on LG I started the LG Mobile Support Tool. It seemed it was able to recognize my smartphone, as I saw this output.
[pls see LG_MobileSupportTool-start.PNG in figure.zip]
But waiting for 1 or few minutes without doing anything the "S/W upgrade..." message disappeared on my LG display and LG Mobile Support Tool showed this output:
[pls see LG_MobileSupportTool-start01.PNG in figure.zip]
It was like the connection between the smartphone and the LG Mobile Support Tool could not be kept, or was not stable.
5) Anyway, when the connection seemed to be ok I selected the choice "Upgrade Recovery" under "Options" menu choice, and the recovery procedure started. This is the sequence output I saw on the LG Mobile Support Display:
[pls see LG_MobileSupportTool-start02.PNG in figure.zip]
[pls see LG_MobileSupportTool-start03.PNG in figure.zip]
[pls see LG_MobileSupportTool-start04.PNG in figure.zip]
But during the "Upgrading your phone..." phase, the process was always blocked at 15% of its execution (it remained at 15% for a relatively long time, let's say 2 or 3 minutes) and I read this output:
[pls see LG_MobileSupportTool-start05.PNG in figure.zip]
Now, if I retry the procedure (with or without disconnecting the phone, removing the battery and so on and the reconnecting) I get this message if I push the "retry" button when the LG display is black.
[pls see LG_MobileSupportTool-start06.PNG in figure.zip]
Otherwise, If LG display indicates "S/W Upgrade..." the procedure restarts, but always with the same result: it aborts at 15% of progress, and LG Mobile Support Tool shows the same error:
I tried a lot of alternatives avoiding to download the ROM image online from LG site. I tried the procedures I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085344 and also here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190, where I found an interesting and more recent tool for an off line KDZ flash.
I tried to flash a couple of diferent KDZs: v20c_00.kdz -ICS- and V20H_00.kdz (JB) but always the procedure was aborted during the update.
I believe my problem should be related to 3 main factors:
Some issues on LG drivers, also if somehow my phone is detected by LG Mobile Support Tool, when I connect it via USB cable.
Some issues with the LG tools I use (or perhaps I do not configure everything needed in the right way, or perhaps there are issues with Windows 7 64 bit)
Some issues with the kdz I use. Perhaps I could adopt some othe stock ROMs (also if I have already tried with 2 different KDZ).
I tried these procedure using other PCs, another Win 7 64 bit and an XP SP3 32 bit, but basically the problem is always the same: the recovery / flash procedure is aborted at 15% of its progress.
Who could give me any advices on what could be the reason of this fault, and on what procedure I could do?
I have not tried anything related to adb or fastboot till now, as in my opinion my issue should not require these tools in order to be solved. I mean, my LG L9 easily goes in "S/W Upgrade.." mode, so it does not seem the problem is related to a boot loop status. Anyway, could a flash via fastboot solve my issue?
Pls help me, I can give you every additional details it could be useful...
Thank you in advance!

TY BajoPrimate, that thread gives me a hope!
But I still need your help. I tried that procedure, and I got an error very similar to the others described there: download failed after 6 sec..... So I tried to download the bin image for P760 that you indicated here, but the URL "http://uploaded.net/f/xh3dqq " seems to be not reachable anymore....
Where could I find a binary image to flash for my P760?
Do you want me to describe the error I got in a post on that thread? Of course I'll do if that is more correct in your opinion.
TY very much in advance!
Ciao
Mauro
Hi Rosso Corsa, you're welcome.
The download link works fine for me.
Try again from your computer or with another browser (i. e. dolphin).
Cheers. Good luck.

BajoPrimate, ty for your support.
I tried do get to this address:
uploaded.net/f/xh3dqq
And also to this one (after having seen the image you posted in your last append:
uploaded.net/file/j32p8p7y/from/xh3dqq
but in both the cases I got a "Unable to connect" message.
I tried from my laptop with Firefox, Internet Explorer and Chrome, getting always the same result.
Do you know what I could try to get this bin image?
On alternative, do you know any other address where I could find a bin image for my LG P760?
It seems the tool for getting a bin image from kdz is not running correctly. At least I got the same error messages others indicated....
TY very much!

Hi Rosso Corsa, you're welcome.
I don't have any other link.
You could try without your firewall or antivirus or with another PC (friends, family,neighbours,...).
Eventually you'll got it!

Hi,
-A few months ago i installed kingroot and rooted my Wiko Bloom(MediaTek MT6589). A couple of days ago i tried to update the firmware and i forgot to unroot first. the result is a softbricked phone.
- When the phone tries to boot it gets to a point where i get android with exclamation "no command".
- Besides this, not always is the phone detected on windows, when its detected it shows up as usb descriptor failed.
I can enter recover, but if i try to update from sdcard it shows /mnt/sdcard/, when the real path should be /mnt/sdcard0/, and i cant change it.
- I installed android sdk and google usb drivers but windows wont let me use them because the phone is not properly detected.
- I dont know what else can i do, i even searched for a usb jig but it seems they only support samsung phones.
Can someone help me recover my phone? I believe i have to unroot it first and then install official firmware, but i have no info or idea on how to do it since adb tools cannot detect my phone.
Thank you so much
:good:
Here you go:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AshkuG2cY1T0xPZArSsy6iO1e_UnPw
This is a zip file with all the tools and files you need and instructions on how to use them.
What it covers:
Restoring bricked device (as long as download mode still works)
Unlocking bootloader (firmware dependent)
Rooting (any firmware)
Installing a custom recovery (any firmware)
Installing a custom ROM (any firmware)
I made this because all the guides for this phone were seemingly outdated, and some required tools and files were incredibly hard to find. Didn't want anyone else going through the pain I went through to break this phone open.
Thank you so much for uploading this. The charging port on my Nexus died and I have to use my old Note 2 as a backup, but I forget how this old piece of junk works. This should be very helpful.
I rooted and flashed twrp to boot to a triangle saying system software not authorized. Tried 3 firmwares and wont boot correctly. I got error about firmware update failed use kies... Kies won't do anything and kies 3 says unsupported device. On the 3rd firmware (root66 rooted stock ) firmware file I now am back to the original triangle system software not authorized by Verizon ..
How do I fix this?!?

Did you read my guide? You can't flash TWRP unless you successfully unlocked your bootloader with Casual, otherwise you are limited to SafeStrap. Also you can't restore with Kies, you have to use Odin and the files I've included to restore.

Nice to see people still looking for something like this, so my guide wasn't for nothing!
I was geeked to see this!! but then i got "This item might not exist or is no longer available"
I take it back.. i let it sit on the "failed" page for like 2 min, and randomly it popped up with a download!
Well the auto bootloader didn't work, so now i'm at the root section. However i'm getting an error where ADB isn't detecting my phone. USB debug is on, and i'm definitely in media mode and not installer. The phone shows up in windows and looks good, but adb doesnt detect. I opened command prompt and ran adb /? and found adb devices -l, and it reports "list of devices" and theres nothing in the list. I can't imagine why it's not seeing it. I tried turning on and off debug mode, switching from camera mode to media, changing usb ports. still nothing comes up, but windows sees it fine. grrrr
*edit, well since we can't delete posts i'll leave this here, because i have to. But what i did was re-open the "no you verizon" and it showed DISCONNECTED also. I changed usb ports like 3 times, turned usb debug on and off, changed from installer mode, to camera, to media mode, restarted the phone and the computer multiple times.. and then it just all of a sudden was detected again. So i went with it and it seems to have worked.
-it took 3 times to actually work, you noted it may take multiples, and it sure did. I ran it through the command prompt so i could read the text, and it took 5 times longer and reported much more stuff when it actually worked.
-final edit: if you can't unlock your bootloader, you're still stuck with ditto or alliance from 2014, and lots of apps won't update on android that old. So if you thought this guide was some holy grail, it is not. But still useful if you need the assist, so thanks to the author.
Hi, total noob here, I just bought Verizon note 2 at a yard sale but there is a pin I don't know. When I went to do a factory reset it booted into TWRP, so I am assuming is rooted. Do I need to be able to get into the phone to use your tools? I know nothing about TWRP. I would like to install a newer Android version and unlock it so I can use TMobile. Thanks
Something wrong...
when i try to load this file from the packages folder i get an error message:
"md5 error! Binary is invalid"
none of the other three works for me. they all come back ailed.
any suggestions?
awesome! thanks for posting this, just found my old note 2 and want to get it up and running again for the kids.
Kudos!
Used this to get my Note 2 up and going again temporarily until the Pixel 4a release...
NOTE: I had strange issues with Odin on my modern X570 board (USB 3.2 Gen 2) where I did not receive any errors, yet the process would randomly seem to time out. Sometimes I'd get stuck at flashing boot.img, sometimes it would hang up at the start, once I got to flashing system.img and it seemed to hang....
Used an older PC circa 2013, no issues! Not the first time I've had issues with this newer motherboard and older USB flashing interfaces; had the same issue on my Note 8 (RIP) as well.
excited to try this.
I'm on some rooted 4.4.2 stock-looking rom. Recovery doesn't look custom.
Hoping to be able to install a working Oreo or Pie ROM
great post, bought a couple of these for almost nothing and am having fun playing with them. sadly they are both 4.4.2 but its great fun anyway.

Thank you for sharing. Always difficult to find those tools after a few years!!!
I have a bit of a problem right now with my old LG P760.
So yesterday I was trying to install a custom rom on my old phone, so that I could update it to 4.4 KitKat. (It was running on the official OTA update 4.1.2 Jelly Bean) But I forgot what my password was so I couldn't unlock the phone. (It was rooted by the way) Then I hard reseted it so that i could go through the setup wizard and after that install the custom rom. Only I forgot i deleted the system keyboard. So when I was trying to type in the wifi password the keyboard wouldn't show up. And I cannot skip the setup wizard so that I could activate USB debugging. If anyone has a solution to this problem, then it would really help my out here. Thanks!
Hey. Go to https://www.lg.com/ru/support/support-mobile/lg-P765 download USB DRIVER and LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL in the Software & Firmware section, then install (on Windows 7), then turn off the phone, press the volume up button and hold it, connect it to the computer, if everything is normal, the phone will switch to s / w mode, LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL will detect the phone and in the additional section select recovery after unsuccessful update and wait. Perhaps some data will be deleted.
Actually I somehow fixed it by not setting up my wifi, and then I was able to skip the setup wizard. Then I installed a few necessary APK files (including Gboard) but then I started going crazy trying to unlock the bootloader and flashing a custom recovery. After messing too much with the root app flashify, I just about broke down after this mistake: I got the LG Security Error. So a few days after that I wanted to install the LG mobile support tool (I did not click on you're link yet btw), but it wouldn't install on my Asus laptop running Windows 10. So the next thing I'm gonna do is try you're link, and if that doesn't install, I'm simply running out of options. But anyway thank's for you're help!
