[Q] Upgrade lg optimus L5 to ICS 4.1.2 ?

How can i upgrade to 4.1.2 my lg optimus L5 ??? Can you give me step by step instructions ?? Thank you !

Requirements
You need the device drivers which can be downloaded from our drivers page.
Download V20a firmware (Jelly Bean).
Download KDZ Updater (Unzip the files and make sure you run msxml file while you install the KDZ updater).
Make sure you have backed up all data on your phone using our data backup guide because this process will wipe all data on your phone.
Steps to Update LG Optimus L5 to Jelly Bean
Run KDZ udpater (KDZ_FW_UPD.exe) as admin.
Select Type as 3GQCT and phone mode as Emergency as shown below:
Ignore the .kdz file in screenshot
Connect your phone to PC in download mode. To do this, press and hold Volume down button while connecting it to the USB that is connected to the PC already.
Once your phone is in download mode, select the V20a KDZ file in the KDZ Updater.
Click on “Launch Software button’.
The Jelly Bean firmware will now be flashed to your phone.
The initial boot takes too long usually. But if you seem to be stuck on the boot scree, you can perform a hard reset by removing and re-inserting the battery and then press and hold Volume down + Center button + Power button together. This will reset your phone.

Can i unroot it and reset factory setings ???
Thank you very much for answering me ! One question. If i root my phone and do stuff like upgrading to 4.1.2 is there any way to reset everything to factory ? Unroot it and go back to 4.0.3 For warranty ?????

yes of course /// its a complicated method than this i do it many times on my e612 ...but my advice is to wait because jb is already sent to ota ,,am in egypt and received it a week ago over ota ..so you can weet a couple of days or do as it said above and dont worry every thing is simole if you need assistance message me

JB is the 4.1.2 version for an Android device [ ICS is 4.0.3] and OTA mean Over The Air, is that thing when you go setting-about phone- update software . This is an OTA update.

Ok so...

So JB means Jelly Bean ??? So 4.1.2 is jelly bean android version and not Ice Cream Sandwich ? And why is Jelly Bean faster than ICS on this phone ? (L5)
Sorry for so many questions but i've been 3 years now with iPhone 3gs and android looks sooooo hard for me right now. I'm trying to learn how to use it as good as i can and try to understand how it works (rooting etc ) .
Thank you very much for answering so fast !

Yes , Jelly Bean is 4.1.2 android version and is faster than the ICS 4.0.3
Why? Because those guys from Android made a faster version for the android , this means an upgrade.

Right kdz for a clean flash

Hello,
I have a LG G3 32 GB and my firmware is
V10g-SEA-XX.
I saw on the forum here a method on how
To flash my machine, but i do not know which
Kdz file is compatible with my phone.
Notice : on my current firmware, when the phone is turned on for the first time or when it is being reset to factory setting i have the abillity to chose Hebrew as the phone's langwuge, i would like to have an appropriate kdz which would let me have the same option.
Also, if i would flash an italian Kdz, would my firmware stay XXX- SEA-XX ?

someone?

Go to your phones settings and find the IMEI code. Type it into the search box and download the right KDZ for your LG G3.

Software Update V10L available now for LG G3 D855 in India

I just updated my LG G3 D855 to V10l-IND-XX (from V10j) via LG Mobile Support Tool. This update is still not available Over The Air. As usual LG Mobile Support Tool downloaded whole software (KDZ), about 1.19 GB and then updated the phone with it. Fortunately no phone data was lost by the update process (in contrast to what LG Support Tool predicted). After the software download, the actual update process took only a few minutes. As for the change-log of this update - I have not still noticed anything new or changed, only the battery performance seems to improve a bit.
Note - If you are going to update your phone via LG Support Tool then make sure to run it as Administrator in Windows. I did not do it and got the error "Unable to extract software archive, check your PC settings and try again". Frustrated, I had to repeat the whole process again. Also your Windows installation drive must have at least 8-9 GB free space (required for downloading and extracting software files), otherwise Support Tool will give error.

Thanks for the info.. :good:

Thanks for your update dear. As for your question I have 32GB variant of LG G3

What happens when a rooted person takes OTA ?
At the most the update installation will fail right ? There is no possible soft brick.. or is there any ? :/

The possibilities of a soft brick cannot be ruled out. Especially of you have custom recovery installed as well.

[Q] Lg P714 II V10A firmware (not found anywhere)

Solution on the 3rd post. (Update 03/11/2014)
Hello everyone.. thank you so much for reading me..
To be brief.. I'm looking for the V10a firmware for LG P714 II (The jelly bean one)(from telefonica Guatemala, it's under central america) and I just can't found it.. seems all the links gone dead.. and I have tried all the links on this page (supposedly the lg one) without luck...
Why? Because I updated that thing to the KitKat (but p710) and it's just not as fast as I imagine.. it's faster the jelly bean (at least for me, in my phone)(maybe because it's not a truly update for my model.. and I just want to go back... )
Lg p714 II (LG L7 II)
looking for the jelly bean firmware LG P714(V10a) the 10b,c just doesn't work

Please post to L2 forum, they can help you much better there.

¡¡ Solution !!
Well after a couple of tries, and days.. I've finally found the solution to restore (even cooler) and downgrade to jellybean from kitkat on LG Optimus (prime)(hahahahaha couldn't resist) P714
The trick is this (at least in my case, or if you're in central america or any Latin country (but you can try any of the firmware you have)(that was the only one that worked for me, and I've tried almost all of them)
Using the LG Flash tool 2014 Flash your phone with the Jelly Bean firmware (not the A20 or something that's kitkat) the A10,B10,C10 etc.. I highly recommend the one from "PANAMA" because that's a clean firmware !!!! ( to be clear, CLEAN firmware) no company attached (Like I said, that was the answer for me !!)
Go here, and grab them before they gone dead.. .
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=21
The one that worked for me was the D10 P714 (From Panama)
Use the LG Flash tool as normal, an on "phone mode" choose DIAG
Let it work it's magic..
I will reboot.. and obvioulsy after a few minutes should have started to sync.. and because we're downgrading, that's just not going to happen.. it will display the "LOGO" forever.. (but because its a clean firmware it will display only the LG logo hehehe)
So, reset the phone using the power and the middle big button.. then keep pressing and also press - "minus" volume when it power up, release the power button... and keep pressing the middle one and vol - eventually the android logo will appear, release the buttons and the factory reset backup will begin..
Enter your language, name... google account (to back up everything) and you're done ! hehehe.. You have your precious Jelly Bean back.
Hope this helps.

Please upload V10D KDZ

Hello mate. Thank you for the instructions, they were very helpful! Just to tell you also that I found another clean KDZ to flash! (Using LG Flashtool 2014, in emergency mode. Really easy!)
It worked for my L7 II P714. Now I have a clean stock JellyBean rom without the silly customizations from the Operator.
This L7 II has a very nice camera!
I got the clean JB KDZ from here:
HTML:
JellyBean V10E_00
http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW54TARE02PNAJ2373E0W7A/V10E_00.kdz
It's from Panama, also.
Cheers.

Glad it worked mate, sorry I couldn't reply sooner. Thanks for posting the link that you found. I formatted my pc, so as for the software, I would have to check my backup hd. (Awesome, from Panama too..)
Keep Smiling.

Yeah. It's a very nice backup device this L7 II
And it's got the most awesome camera found in a cheap smartphone! It's almost as good as my G2's * -*
Cheers.

[Need Help] I can't flash the stock rom

I recently bought a new gionee elife e7, but its rom (it didn't have the stock one) had a lot of problems so I want to change it. I downloaded GNQC DownLoad Tool and tried to flash the stock rom I found here : pan.baidu.com/s/1mgoIgha (pass : vt1a) . This rom is from gionee. My problem is that I get an error "The phone ver is different from SW ver" on GNQC DownLoad Tool. I tried to flash and other roms but I got the same error message. The version of my gionee elife e7 is GBW8901_A_NORIOS_094 (I can't find it anywhere on the google).
Can someone please help me flash the stock rom on my gionee e7?
EDIT : Stupid question, I found the solution. I had to disable SW check...

Good it is working!
What kind of Windows u have 7 or 8? 32bit or 64bit?

I have windows 7 64 bit.... But I think it doesn't metter...
Just a note, I noticed that in the 4.4.2 update the COM ports are not working for some reason and you can not use GNQC DownLoad Tool. In my case I had to downgrade to a 4.2 rom (using CWM recovery) and then use GNQC DownLoad Tool because I can only see the COM ports in my PC when my phone is on android 4.2. Correct me if I am wrong.

Nice!
Every body talks about the GNQC DownLoad Tool is not working under windows 64bit.
What kind of CWM and which ROM 4.2 you flashed?
What was that SW check are you talking?
Thanks a lot!

First of all, I have windows 7 64 bit and GNQC DownLoad Tool is working fine. I used the english version from here :
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51788389
The only case it is not working is when I update my gionee e7 to android 4.4.2 (the latest official india rom update, I update it through the official "System Update"). The latest update was charging my sim card (I lost 9 euros) for some reason I don't know (I guess they put a pre-installed virus? Not sure). It seems that, with the new update the COM ports just stop working, so the GNQC DownLoad Tool can't find them to flash new firmware. To fix this, I flashed TWRP recovery (forum.xda-developers.com/elife-e7/orig-development/recovery-t-r-p-recovery-2-8-5-0-t3050958) and installed the official china 4.2 rom (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2648457). I only do that to get the COM ports back because they are working in the china 4.2 rom (most of the things in the 4.2 rom I install this way are not working so I only do that for the COM ports). And after all that, I use the GNQC DownLoad Tool to flash a firmware from the beginning.
I hope this will help some of you!

It is really helpful post! Thanks for your detailed guide.
I alredy helped some e7 users with COM error problems.
All credits goes to you of course!
So which ROM is "the best" in your opinion?

Kitkat is best.
He is charged because this rom has 2 programe that sends automatic messages and need to Be deleted.
Salestatistic and
Salestrack
You need Root for that.
Also You can shut them down by modify build.prop lines:
ro.gn.oversea.salestrack.gi=yes
ro.gn.oversea.salestrack.gi=no
You should do both for safety.
The messages are sent to
00918527214747
00919880938662
Also,for fun,You can change those numbers with any so the messages will Be sent to that number.
The messages contains phone imei,operator code and other things about phone.
The messages are being sent every time You power on your phone and yes,IT charges your phone bill.
Sorry for my bad english.
