Download kdz program. Installing official firmware on LG G3. Flashing an LG smartphone using the KDZ Updater utility

or via KDZ. At the moment, the post is dedicated to KDZ and we will consider it. Don't forget to charge your phone... What we need:
1. drivers - installation of all drivers
2. KDZ flasher itself, MSXML installation (located with the flasher)
3. official firmware V20D_00 (Android 4.1.2). Attention!!! for some reason there is a possibility of killing the device, at the moment I can’t check the firmware again

1.Installing drivers

Installation LG United Mobile Driver

as usual, click next (There is no point in posting all the screenshots)

Installation LG USB Modem Driver WML

Installation LG SP USB Driver

2.KDZ flasher and MSXML installation Download the firmware and flasher, then

click next, next and so on

After installing all the drivers and installing MSXML, it would not hurt to restart the computer, so just in case, after connecting the phone in different modes (off, on, in energy mode) in order to make sure that everything is determined.

3. Firmware process

We launch KDZ (I ran it on 7 64 discharge through error correction, or set it to Win XP SP2 or Win 2k compatibility) and set up the firmware mode

Next, select Type - 3GQCT, PhoneMode - EMERGENCY, KDZ file - select the firmware, at the moment I was sewing Android 4.1.2, that is, the firmware version is V20D_00 (the latest at the moment, and in general it is unlikely to be) then we connect the phone in mode EMERGENCY MODE(on the off, we hold down the volume + buttons and the power button, a yellow background with the inscription of the same name should appear, if this does not work, then we hold down the volume + and connect it to the data cable)

wait for the inscription finish in the flasher log, at the end of the firmware the phone will reboot itself...

if an error appears, do not rush to click on it, let the flasher finish the firmware process and only after that "close the program"

The first launch is very long, be patient if it still weighs on the logo after the firmware:
do a hard reset(we press the volume down (vol-) and power on (power) buttons on the switched off phone), when the backlight of the lower part of the phone turns on, hold the right touch menu button until the logo appears, after the logo appears after a couple of seconds, release it, a green droid and a blue progress bar should appear , clean up the trash).
Or
enter recovery and do wipe data/factory reset(we press the volume buttons (vol + vol-) on the phone off) the central "home" button and the power button (power) until a green droid with a red triangle and an exclamation mark appears, then release all the buttons and press the power button again to display the selection points recovery then wipe data/factory reset and yes delete all user data)

The phone should start without problems...

I bow for this...

Key features and functions

available completely free of charge.

If your LG phone or tablet is unstable, freezes, slows down or does not open system applications, most likely, he needs a new firmware (Firmware). It's like an operating system. It depends on it which programs are installed on the device by default, what functions it has, how the interface and widgets look like. Gadget manufacturers often install their proprietary operating systems based on Android. But if you are not satisfied with the standard LG firmware, you can change it.

There are official operating systems and custom ones. The latter are created by users. If the Firmware is "amateur", this does not mean that it is bad. In such utilities, the interface is made more convenient and responsive. They remove unnecessary features and add the necessary ones. Of course, the OS may not be suitable specifically for your device or work incorrectly on it. But, if you are interested in an unofficial system, it is worth trying it.

Updating LG firmware is easy 🙂

To install or reinstall Firmware, you will need special programs and the firmware itself. You can find it on the Internet. A large collection of custom and official operating systems is available on the 4pda website. There is also a specialized lg-phone-firmware resource - there are systems for different models devices.

Older phones may not support modern operating systems. After all, Firmware needs certain resources for stable operation. Device with 512 MB random access memory unlikely to "pull" Android 5.1.

Before flashing an LG device, do the following:

Save all important information from the gadget on another medium or in cloud storage. Better create backup contacts, sms, call lists, photos, notes, videos. Installing Firmware will reset the settings and erase all data.
Charge your device at least 80%. Better yet, 100%. If the battery runs out while reinstalling the OS, there will be problems with the device. Restoring it will be difficult.
Download drivers for LG devices to your computer (in particular, LGUnitedMobileDriver) if you want to flash your phone using a PC.
Find out the model of your gadget. This information is in the instructions and in the parameters of the device.
A USB cable must be available to connect your phone or tablet to a PC.

Firmware using a computer

KDZ Updater

Here is the first way to install Firmware:

Smart Flash Tool

There is another program with which you can reinstall the operating system on your phone. This is Smart Flash Tool. It fits older models.

Firmware without the help of a computer

Zip archive with firmware

To flash a device without connecting to a PC, Clockworkmod Recovery must be available on the mobile device - this is the "recovery mode". A memory card is also required, on which the archive with the OS will “fit”.

To enable Recovery, you need to download the Rom Manager program from the Play Market. Root rights are required to use it. They can be obtained using special utilities. Suitable, for example, Kingo Root, Framaroot, GingerBreak. Some of them are run from a computer, some are installed on the phone.

It is easier to install Firmware, which already has the necessary options, and then write down what you need “on top” of it.

With the debug mode running, you can start installing the OS.

You need a special firmware in .zip format. The instructions for it should indicate that it is activated through the Recovery mode.
Copy the archive from the OS to the memory card of the LG device.
Reload it in Recovery. The menu will appear.
To backup the current system, click "Backup and restore". Next select "Backup to / sdcard". The data will be copied to the SD card.

There are many options on how to reflash a phone or tablet. Firmware must be selected according to the device model. It's best not to try to install an OS that doesn't exactly fit your gadget.

Firmware KDZ- It is in this phrase that several concepts merge. Word firmware has several definitions and its meaning follows from the context in each particular case. Firmware– file or software replacement procedure.

1. General Provisions.

1.1. Terms of use.
By performing these actions on your phone, you automatically agree that all risks resulting from these actions fall solely on you. The site administration is not responsible for the results of your actions. You agree that this is your conscious decision and you made it yourself.
1.2. Basic provisions.
KDZ file- a container file with the official firmware of the phone from LG. It contains several blocks, which in general make up the complete firmware.
KDZ flasher- a program for Windows that provides a change in the firmware of LG phones, part of the official software from LG, is used for unofficial ways to flash phones. Works with the KDZ-file of the firmware, unpacks it, checks the device being flashed, flashes the phone, writes a log of the progress of the firmware procedure.
Data cable– usb\microusb cable that provides data transfer via the USB protocol, as well as +5V power supply and phone charging.
Hard buttons– physical buttons of the phone (device) that allow you to control the main functions (volume, menu, return, call/hang up, power on/off).
hard reset (XP or factory reset) - see the instructions from the box supplied with the phone. Reset phone settings and other user actions ( installed programs) to the factory state of the phone firmware. If the user has set himself full access to the system and removed system files, then with XP they will not be restored, because. the purpose of XP is to clear the system of only user data.
backup- backup of user data, such as a directory, SMS messages, ringtones, photos, etc. You can back up the data with the program LG_PCSuite_IV . To backup your installed software (games, applications), you can use third party applications- and others.

2. Preparation for the firmware.

This instruction compiled on the example of phone firmware LG P500 O1, but the procedure is quite typical for the entire range of phones of the brand LG.
You must first acquire the necessary software:

Software and content:

, after installation it is desirable to disable (but do not delete!) LGE Virtual Modem. It will appear after connecting the phone to the computer. For this, in the operating room Windows system need to go to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Right click on LGE Virtual Modem and choose Disable.

If your picture matches the above, solve problems with the system and drivers. It might come in handy here. We launch the KDZ flasher program and continue the firmware process again.

If the flasher stumbled in the middle of the process and freezes, restart it and repeat the firmware. Sometimes you have to restart your computer. All this time troubleshooting DO NOT EXIT! phone out of mode emergency mode(exit from it - complete blackout - disconnecting the data cable and removing the battery).

The first start up of the phone is much longer than usual, please be patient. Start time up to 5 minutes.

If the phone does not start and hangs on the LG logo or a green Android with an exclamation point in a triangle, then you need to do hard reset. We turn off the phone, insert the battery and do a reset hard buttons- p.9 instructions for the phone.
