[Q] Installing Firmware on LG Optimus F3 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody, I'm definitely a newbie with Android. Today, I looked online for overclocking my LG Optimus F3, and I found this thread "[MS659][F3] Freedom Kernel Overclocked" (I'm a newbie xda won't let me post links yet). It said you could achieve a 1.4 GHz overclock (my device has a 1.2 GHz processor). So, dummy me, I got all excited and flashed the MS65910c firmware to my phone like the thread said I needed to have (I didn't know that that would switch my service providers as I had Virgin Mobile). So, I'm a little confused still... Can I still have Virgin Mobile service with MetroPCS firmware? If not, I want to restore my device back to Virgin Mobile firmware (LS720ZV6). The problem is, I am also a little confused with the flashing firmware thing. Can I flash .zip files instead of .kdz files (I couldn't find LS720ZV6 .kdz firmware files on the web)?
Someone please help!
Thanks

@sammyz would be your best bet for help on metro lgs

.ZIP will work
Yes. I too have tested this. And in majority I use *.Zip file to flash in my mobile. I have completed the task successfully. Till now no problem has been experienced. Instead I will too suggest you to use this type of file.

Hello all,
In advance i just want to say sorry if im missing a thred that can already help me and if i am a link would be great,
I am in the uk, this is the current spec of my phone...
Android version
2.2.2
Kernal version
2.6.32.9
software version
V10d-APR-27-2011
If any more info is needed then i will be happy to post it
OK, i am on the 3 network and have sent an email to LG regarding updating to 2.2.3 and they say that it is only available in the UK on the T-mobile network, I want to no if i can manually update to 2.2.3 that is compatible with the UK and my network. If not is there anyway to unlock my phone to make it compatible?
I have already rooted my phone using Gingerbreak
If i can update is there anywhere where i can get download links and a step by step guide that will work on my phone? i have been through many posts that explain things but i still am not to sure whether they will work with my phone, and if the ROM will work with my phone.
If i could get some advice or if someone could point me in the right direction of a post that will help me i would be most grateful!
Again i'm sorry if i am completely missing the obvious, i'm just a n00b in the process of learning.
Ive been stuck at the same point in the process for months
Thanks
Sorry!
I meant that i want to update to 2.3 gingerbread, or if anyone no's of any better ROM's that would be great, i generally use my phone for games, apps, music and browsing the internet so i just assumed that the official 2.3 ROM would be a better option but i am open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help me Kudo's

[Q] Can someone compile a CM10 for LG L3 E400R?

The Roms made for the LG L3 E400 dont work properly on the E400R Wifi, and Network connection is lost. Rooting it is also different, which I did manage to get done after lots of searching. You must use the Rageagainstthecage methold in superoneclick. Now if someone could just get a rom working for the E400R, I bet alot of people would be very happy! I can supply the stock rom if needed. Sorry if this is not the right spot, but theres no forum for the L3
Please help me, and all the others with the canadian version stuck on android 2.3

It would be great if someone could help. Sorry if Im double posting, but I need help, and so does anyone else who wants to a custom rom for the E400R. I am worried to give it a shot by myself because everyone who tried managed to ruin the network connection. Someone with more experience is needed.

Assuming I can make a build following this: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_e400#Prepare_the_device-specific_code
Would the components necessary to run cm9 on the e400r be successfully extracted and integrated into the build?
nevermind...
L3 No Signal, No Wi-Fi apk

OK - so I was going through the apps after finally figuring out how to root it (I'll post a link to a page if needed) and wanting to barebone this bloated factory ROM.
Finally fudged around too much, KDZ wouldn't work but made it so it shows v11e software version, though wouldn't even turn on. Changed the brick for a new one under warranty.
Noticed I now have MSM7225A, whereas my first phone was a MSM7625A. Tried the rom again, but still no carrier signal / SIM access. ended up flashing Telus V12A rom and ripping out the bloatware....faster now and battery is good for a good day or two - probably won't bother with an ICS/JB update now...
We need the RIL files extracted to make this work, but the kdz doesn't break open like older models...

[Q] i need os

Found this:

Dunno if that is the one you need since you didn't mention what carrier the phone is from and they might need different firmwares depending on the company.

[Need] {Request} - LG Risio aka LG Leon for Cricket Wireless Factory Firmware(QH-USB)

I am requesting the stock firmware for the LG Risio, if anyone can dump it or find it from somewhere and post it here so I can reflash my phone (got it for christmas) that would be awesome, I tried rooting unfortunately and what had happened was I had selected lte vs cdma flash although the phone is lte and the guide says CDMA it still failed, and now it wont boot, and I could have just used kingsroot and purified the system so im kind of annoyed.
Here is a chinese forum that has it, but you need cool points to get it......

lg leon lte h343 cricket/at&t
i was wondering if you got ahold of stock rom or any working firmware for the lg leon te h343 all i find are resources for h345 etc. i even tried that chinese website with LG H343 Phone Firmware H34310A_00 USA AIO Edition Official Download. yet of course unsure of how to get enough cool points to view download. LG website is unhelpful also with nothing to offer. i have the h343 yet due to wrong steps taken theres no recovery just secure boot error 1003. boot loop loads into os for 1 min then restarts again. installed factory reset apk which failed yet continues to restart process.

Nawww. The link being locked is irrelevant. If you go up one hierarchical level in the forum (LG LEON), you'll see the various countries and variants. All of them have the link to the .KDZ. All of them except one. You know which one is missing the KDZ link. Wasted a few hours on this ****. **** sucks.
Anyone find a way to restore our cricket lg risio's???
I have 5.1.1 but my phone was in 6.0 and at downgrade, came to imei null. If you could flash one of yours, update to 6.0 and obtain your flash would be awesome!

That's a good question I think if you are rooted you can use Titanium Backup

Looking for a stock JB 4.1.2 KDZ file for LG Optimus L3 II E435 (Europe - Germany)

Hi,
I'm pretty new here so if the post doesn't belong here please redirect me to the right place (maybe there I will also have more chances to get an answer ).
I'm desperately searching for a stock JB 4.1.2 KDZ file (v10*) for LG Optimus L3 II Dual E435 (Europe-Germany) and I can't find any. I mean I found a lot of links on the net but none of them works.
I received this phone a couple of day ago and I started to play with it a little bit. I rotted it and also unlocked the bootloader and get it CWM ready with the help of the app made by PlayfulGod (Thanks for that!!!). Then I went to recovery mode, made a full backup of the system and wanted to flask the v20 Baseband because I wanted to try a SB custom ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419465).
At rebooting nothing worked any more. When I try to do anything (starting, recovery,....) the screen just gets white for a second and that's it. I don't even come to the logo page.
So I have to try to unbrick it but the only method that I found for that implies the possession of a KDZ file which I don't have. The backup from CWM is a folder and I don't know (yet) exactly how to transform it in a KDZ. I know that I need a .dll file but where can I find it?
Thanks for your help!!
WDLFile kdz
I rooted my LG Optimus L3 II E435 (India) last year and have a WDLFile .kdz. Are you looking for this. I recovered from soft brick/bootloop through this.
It's better than nothing

Hi,
thank you for the replay. I don't think that the indian stock will work on my device. I will try to ask around maybe somebody else knows this better. Anyway I will be very grateful if you could upload the kdz file somewhere so that I can download it. It's better than nothing. Maybe I will use it (or parts of it) for something.
Thanks!
