Is it possible to flash roms on the LG Optimus 7 in any way? I don't mean custom roms I just want to flash an official release build on my device.
How did you loose your official release rom that comes with the device?

I never had it. I'm using a pre-release device with 6536 build.
Then, I think you might need to wait for the first update, as there really isn't any ROMs floating around the web for Optimus 7 yet...
I see no developers who care about optimus 7, so sad. Such a nice phone.

Not true. There may not be any development topics here. However, in the actual WP7 Development forum on XDA, most of the modifications and hacks apply to the Optimus 7 as well (with the exception of the HTC specific or Samsung specific ones, duh!)
There's new thread in the development forum for this device. Teaches you how to flash the firmware along with the correct firmware for specific countries.
Take a look here and use the firmware you prefer )))

Hi all,
I am trying unsuccessfully the method mentioned above without any success since yesterday night.
If followed carefuly the steps but when launching "LGDP2_V36_UMTS.exe", I can't enter Emergency Download mode.
Everything is well installed, my modem was located in port COM4, I have the correct DLL and .dz rom.
But when I press the "Start" button, and plug in with the USB the phone when LG logo appears at startup, nothing happens.
If I set the "USB Switching" to QC Composite, using MFG, when connecting the phone, ports COM5 and COM6 become active (still nothing on port COM4) in LGDP2_V36_UMTS.exe, I get "ErrNum502 EMERGENCY MODEL FAIL" after a few seconds.
Any idea on this? I am currently running an LG Optimus 7 under NoDo Orange-FR branded (would like to flash with the European rom).
Thanks in advance.

The roms available for download are for 7004. As far as I know, you cannot flash the older version rom atop the newer OS. Your best bet is to reverse the nodo update with Zune, then attempt to flash the desired rom.

Hi Kapanak,
I see, thanks for your reply. Do you know how to "downgrade" my phone using Zune? I went through the whole parameters and sync list and found nothing.
Thanks,
Thomas
Go to settings>phone>update on the computer you did your NoDo update. There, you will see a "backup" prior to updating your phone. That back, when you phone is connected (make sure of this) will restore 7004 to your phone. Make sure you save everything on your phone before doing this, as you WILL loose everything acquired/synced/changed on your phone after NoDo update...
You can flash which rom du you prefer, sure you can downgrade 'cause this will erase ALL the partitions on your mobile.
DOWNGRADE with flash is SAFE, it's just a waste of time to reverse with zune and then reflash.
@ kapanak:
I guess I had not option to downgrade using Zune as after the Nodo update, I deleted the entire folder Zune created for the restauration point on my computer. I hate softwares using 1.5Go on my hard drive for "nothing" Guess it was a mistake here...
@ the.rider1290:
Based on your post, you mean that even running Nodo, I can flash directly using the ROMs available for download here? And this would downgrade automatically my phone from Nodo (Orange FR linked) to the previous WP7 version Europe free (I chose this one)?
So, any idea on what prevents the software "LGDP2_V36_UMTS.exe" enter my phone in Emergency Download mode?

Not true, I unknowingly flashed a StarHub ROM on my Optimus 7 before the 7720 ROMs were released. My phone was on 7.10.7720.68 and backtracked to to 7.0.7004. Microsoft stopped delivering old updates so i was temporarily stuck on 7008. Then i used ChevronWP7 updater to update to NoDo, then used the beta update to update to 7403, then got a notification for official StarHub update, followed by a LG software update, then a "family and friends" update to clear some crap, then the 7740 update. entire process took 10hrs.

Just install the modem driver then plug in your phone in emergency download (VOL-CAM-PWR) then if using Win Vista u will see "Installing driver device software" then click the balloon and see which COM port it is (e.g. LG Device (COM #21)) then choose THAT port and start. having the "Can't find monitor port!" warning is ok.
Reflash

I just logged onto Kies to sync some music and I was offered an update.
New version is 2.1.0.1112_41.
For your information I am in the UK.
Any new USB drivers in there? Latest version is 1.4.8.0...
Nope!
Still the same 1.4.8.0 drivers
Thank you mate
Got Samsung Galaxy s2 onebay, instead of old one, that died.
When connecting to KIES i see this message " your device does not support software upgrading via kies"
I did search on forum and understood that it can be because phone was rooted, and that it is possible to put phone in un-rooted state
but i not really understood how
*#1234# gives me the following
PDA I9100TJIKJ1
PHONE I9100TJIKI2
CSC I9100TCELKJ1
Can anyone please help me proceed for un-root?
all i want it's to update to IceCreamSandwich firmware

You'll need to find that firmware and re flash with Odin. www.sammobile.com/firmware

Than flash the official GB .!
here i found firmware file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1221236
i ve read how to flash with odin
What is GB?
Is it any risks flashing with odin?
GB = Gingerbread. Which is somewhat irrelevant since you're seeking to go to ICS.
You appear to have an I9100T from the Middle East region. If I were you, I would go to www.sammobile.com and download an appropriate I9100T firmware from that region to flash. There is one ICS firmware for that model and region available.
And of course there are risks using Odin. If you don't know what you're doing, or use a firmware that isn't meant for your phone, you can easily brick your device.
i had the same problem a while ago. usually you need to sign into samfirmware site but try this link, it worked for me

This is because Your Csc (movinanad) is unknown.
Try this:
1.Backup your data.
2. Download this app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&hl=en
3. Use the app to change your CSC (Movinanad) code to your country.
After this process, kies should work with your phone now.
Note: the process will factory reset your phone, so please backup first.

It happens when CSC/PHONE/PDA mismatch.Best option is to download latest firmware for your model and flash using Odin.
I get the same problem like you guys, kies says your device does not support software update....
And i have I9100XWKI8 software. And i have installed it through odin. But i need to update it. So please guys can you help?

Similar Issue
Hi there, I have a similar problem. I tried to root my phone, as I wanted to unlock it using a chainfire program, using a cnet program
I wasn’t sure which unsecure kernal to use, but i was told it didn’t matter if I was going to put a secure kernal back in, once rooted, problem is the root never properly worked, and when it would reboot I would get the samsung screen with yellow triangle and then it went black, so I tried getting to the stock using galaxys2root
but then got stuck in a boot loop, so I then had to do a factory reset through the recovery boot mode, which was fine and my phone is on, obviously all my data (apps and progress is gone) not a lot to be done there, but my OS is different, I had recently (about 2weeks ago) had an update, so when I pulled the task manager bar down, it would scroll as there were more than just 5 options to be quick clicked. also I was able to put my app menu in alphabetical order as well as little things like option to show battery % and different icon images, more defined and realistic, so basically I appear to be on an older OS but I am unable to update through my phone and kies as well, as it tells me my firmware is not supported for upgrade through kies.
I believed I was on a ICS version, though reading up about latest firmware there seems to be a later version, but apparently jelly bean? I had reason to believe JB was earlier than ICS, but maybe not? I am currently 4.0.3. If I recall I was 4.1 something though I am not 100%, but I know this OS is earlier.
Basically I miss my previous OS and dunno what more to do, extensive search is driving me brain dead, any help possible?
I also have found an accidental screenshot from my previous OS homepage and have taken a recent one just so you can see the smaller things I am describing, and hoping it helps. - can't post links yet in order to show you the exact pictures and webpages used.
Hope I am in the right place for this, also, I am not completely thick when it comes to technology and software either just better at computers haha.
Thanks in advance for any help!

'ello geeks,
I know Kies has been infamous for just about every reason a piece of software can be..Perhaps before investing in S4 I should have gone through Kies reviews as well and not just phone's.
Anyway, the issue I am facing is since Samsung released the firmware upgrade for Galaxy S4 , I have been trying to upgrade via Kies (I do not have a wife router) and faced with below:
1. While it downloads the firmware data, it randomly shows phone's disconnected and I have to restart the download.
2. On one instances, it did go through the upgrade procedure completely but only firmware ID got updated as none of the features came in...on top of that ability to change unlock effect in settings got disabled for some reason. Post this I had reset the phone.
3. Another question is, for around 350 mb upgrade, Kies keeps on downloading 7 gb+ data,,,is this normal? and why would that be for?
[Ref: Windows 7 Premium, Intel C2D 2.2, 2 gb RAM]
[Ref: GT-I9500 Purchased in India]
Please let me know if you people have a different experience and whether anything can be done to mend it...or this is how the life with Kies is!
Thanks!
I am assuming that you are not rooted.
Try updating it manually via Odin
Download the official firmware file from here

Just got my note 3. I was hoping to sync via kies but only photos and music comes up on kies when opened on the screen. I down loaded the latest version of kies 3 and my note has the latest firmware. I noticed there has been some talk of this but as an update as anyone else used kies 3 to success with their note 3?
Perhaps one should use the older version of kies?
Kies says to download the windows feature pack - but I can't find this and what is it?
I'm having similar issues the phone doesn't recognize the older version of Kies and the new one doesn't allow restore from older versions .
Pathetic

It looks like I will have to revert back to using My Phone Explorer. It was recommended here some time back. Nice and simple but I had thought Samsung would have improved Kies by now. One reason to get the note 3 was to get the latest OS and sync better.
i was hoping for some more replies. Perhaps you all do not use kies? What syncing software do you use?
KIES 3 is still in BETA so I suspect it has been rushed out to cater for this device and will be updated pretty soon.
I never understand however why software, guides and accessories etc are always way behind after a device is released.
