what will happen if i do an Upgrade Recovery on my LG Optimus L3 Dual SIM e405f using LGMobile Support Tool?
Will I loose root, data, apps installed, configurations? Is the same as do a Hard Reset?
What will upgrade?
I see somewhere that there is an update to LG Optimus L3, but it don't show in my smartphone.

Hey there, I actually just used LG Upgrade Recovery to unbrick my Optimus yesterday - all your data will remain intact, the tool only "repairs" your firmware by reverting corrupted/non-stock components to stock.
For me, I unlocked bootloader, tried relocking and got a boot certify error. Then, I tried teenybin, and my ohone failed to boot...so I turned to LG Upgrade Recovery, force the phone into download mode and voila! Back to stock, no data lost. You will lose root though
Thanks very much, in case I need I will do this.

Dear All,
I am trying to restore my bricked G2, but when I got to LG mobile support tool and select the language, it does NOT flash the KK kdz I downloaded, instead told me "Your device has the lastest software available from the LG mobile support tool. Please visit LG support website for more info..."
WHY???
FYI:
D802T Australia unlocked version, official 4.4.2 then rooted and installed Autorac which doesn't support D802T and stuck my phone at bootloop for good. Already downloaded the KK kdz. file and tools and followed this post"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476"

Found any solution to this? Have the same problem, it says i have the latest software even though the software it is showing on my phone (which my phone doesnt really have) is older than the KDZ that I am trying to flash. If I force it to upgrade, it starts but gives an error at 37% every time.

Use the LG Flash Tool instead.
Hello,
today I went to downgrade my L7 from Carbon ROM to V20A with CWM/ROOT by Homero using KDZ and when phone restarted after upgrade it got stuck at LG logo, so I tried flashing multiple times but it didn't succeed.
I couldn't even access the CWM, I tried almost all unbricking solutions.
Now I tried even with official LG Mobile Support Tool which updated firmware to V20D and it won't boot up.
a) Is there a way I can back my phone to get it working myself?
b) How much will the service cost as my warranty expired?
Thanks a lot!
Anybody?
Please, I really need to fix this device.
EDIT: Solved.
reinstall rom, maybe this can help u
Hi. I have a problem. I'm on a V20C Oreo. When i am trying to update to something newer (by LG flashtool or by official tools like LG Bridge) phone freezes on LG G6 ThinQ screen, nothing helps (factory reset too). Then i must go manually to download mode and flash V20C back, and it boots OK. What is wrong?
Later than one month ago i have problem with charging, the cable was charging only on one side and it newer go to fast charge mode, then i made a factory reset and problem dissaperes for a couple of hours, after flash to V20C (i can't flash newer soft) its ok for a few weeks.
What could be the problem? Please help.
Nobody will help you, coz this G6 forum is the worst smartphone forum ive ever seen.
i hope not Is there any other LG forum where I can get help?

Isn't V20C the most recent stock? If you want to downgrade you will have to unlock bootloader, but I guess it's not what you have problem with. Try to use LG UP with UPPERCUT, other tools probably won't work.

You are working hard to prove it, aren't you? If you have nothing smart to say just stay quiet.
No. I just want to update the phone. LG Bridge want to update to V20F but after update phone freezes.

For my h870 lg bridge doesn't show any updates?For what region is your phone?
Phone is from Poland, not brannded.
Hello,
I really do not remember how I used to flash LG, I've tried everything on google, the LG Flash tool 2014 and LG UP method.
LG flash tool gives me contact system admin thus the LG UP when goes to Com port and saying my phone model it says not compatible or something.
I need to reflash it cause the Twrp is stuck at factory reset on mem cache.
Its H440 aka Spirit 4G LTE (on back it says soo C70 E).
Occasionally it becomes difficult, but you will achieve it, just read and go learning again to do it! with patience
Hi
I had unlocked my lg g6 bootloader, and installed custom rom.
After few months with custom rom, I want to get back to the stock lg rom, with dual camera and L1 widevine.
So I tried to install the stock rom and relock bootloader:
Using LG up , downloaded .kdz file, and upercut, I get each time dll problem. The LG up version does not match with the phone version. I tried to place or replace some dll files found online in LGUP/common/LGUP_Common.dll
Nothing happens, I still have this issue.
Then, I tried with LG bridge (update - repair update).
It worked, I installed the stock rom. I still had the bootloader unlocked.
I locked the bootloader with adb and fastboot, and did factory reset.
So why I am posting this message ?
Because now, with the stock rom installed by LG bridge, I have L3 widevine and not L1. And the camera application (and all apps using the camera) does not work.
I think, I need to rewrite properly the original rom with LG up, but I don't know how to make it work properly. I used one time LG up by the past when I soft bricked my phone, and I did not get any dll issues.
Now, I am trying to do it, and nothing works. I tried 2 computers (1 windows, 1 linux+Windows VM) nothing.
kdz problem, dll problem, computer problem ? I don't know...
I really wish someone could help me
Thanks, very much.
If you are coming from Custom ROM to Stock, you need to flash Nougat first. If you dont your camera wont work.
I think that like my old LG L9 the G6 has a PROM/fuse bit which remembers if the bootloader had been unlocked once. This could explain the Widevine issue. Samsung introduced Knox years ago, which also won't ever forget unlocking and prevent further use of certain Samsung applications.

Did you solve?
Cause I did almost same things as you: wanted to go back to stock after experiencing some random reboots with lots of custom roms (which worked till few months ago) and so flashed back the original Pie (H87030b_00_OPEN_EU_OP_1105.kdz) via LGUP but ended up with camera and flash not working at all.
While on custom rom everything works smooth, a part from random reboots
Right now I'm flashing H87011i_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0108.kdz (Nougat) but I'm not sure if it will solve the problem.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: camera is working on Nougat, butnow I have to deal with that damn "moisture" notification
EDIT2: after almost a full day of updates I can use my LG G6 with stock rom, stock camera and be very happy with it ;-) thanks @SkylineDiT for the tip of going back to Nougat, didn't know it.
