1. Install LG PC suite:
http://www.lg.com/uk/support/pc-suite
2. Connect the phone and suite will install update to support it.
3. Choose "Mobile device"->"Mobile device software upgrade"
PC suite will start download, then restart the phone and upgrade it to the last official version.
Then restore the root with Purple drake lite and you are good to go.
PC Suite gave me a lot of problems. It initially worked on my windows machine, but a reformat of that one and I can't install PC Suite on it anymore. Keeps giving me an NSIS error. PC Suite installed fine on my Macbooks but it won't detect the phone. grr
what worked for me was downloading the drivers and the LG Mobile Support Tool (do a search)
this won't let you sync stuff, but it will let you update your phone to the latest available software. For me, it turned out to be version g.
Purple drake root worked after this, and all software and most settings unchanged. Had to turn on xposed again though, and experimental settings with greenify to get everything just like it was before the upgrade.

Anybody could suggest advice? It'd be very thankfull.
Cheers

I hade problems even installing that useless program. Samsung must be ashamed for that "thing". Just dont use it.
Oh I see.
So what is the way of updating official firmware? I realize it's a noob question.

I'm a noob here too
I have learned through reading other posts though so here it is:
You don't need to have Kies recognise your phone to install firmware. You just need to have the drivers for your phone installed. Easiest way to do that is install Kies. It will automaticaly install the drivers. Whether Kies recognises your phone is irrelevant.
You basicaly can find all you need to flash official firmware at h t t p ://samsung-firmware.webs.com/samsungi9000.htm. There are also instructions on how to do it in the page. I also think there is a thread here with instructions but you will have to search for that yourself
Before you do anything I would suggest reading h t t p ://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596&highlight=big+faq
One other thing is that I have not been able to make flashing with Odin work on my Win7 laptop. Thank god I still have WinXP SP3 on my desktop.
And sorry for the web pages not being linked. Noob users like me can't post links
So far no problem connecting for me. I am. Using win 7 ultimate.

Firstly the firmware on Samsung Firmware website is leaked firmware and is not official releases. So some of the firmware can be at a stage less then optimal. Just making sure you have all the facts.
Secondly you might be able to resolve your Kies problem by downloading the latest Kies, installing, connecting to your phone. If no luck then remove your SD card and try again. If no good then format your internal SD drive and try again ensuring you have backed up your data first to the SD card.
This has been found to resolve most Kies issues and enabled people to reconnect with Kies.
Wish you luck with it.

I just tried to install the latest version of Kies at work, wow was that worse than my original Kies install (the version just prior).
I got the same message I read about "no internet connection, try to connect again" or whatever, but I just blew through it and hit retry every time it popped up (probably about 35 times for just 84KB). So, anyways, I'm at 84KB out of 81KB (yes, you read that correct) and this method no longer worked, I had already disabled my firewall because I read something about that a while ago, but that didn't help here. So, giving up I hit "no", well Kies worked fine after that and my phone connected to it...
the install...sucked...tho...
I too had trouble using the latest Kies, just refused to see the phone connected, but I could use mass storage mode with no trouble...
Fix for me was to stop Launcher Pro and re set TWLauncher as default Home, then connect phone to PC and slect Kies mode, this worked a treat and Kies detected my phone straight away?
So If you are using a third party Home app, try using the TWLauncher as default Before connecting to PC...?
I had a lot of problems with Kies before. But after lates upgrade (2-3 days ago) i have 10 on 10 with success. I am on Win 7 Ultimate x64 and Windows XP pro SP3 at work.
I took of adw and kies worked fine for me.

The latest Kies is available as an executable download on the Samsung Firmware Website you only had to download this and install mate.
At least you have a working Kies now.
Yeah I installed kies just yesterday and it took for ages to install it.i I'll try the stuff you guys advised, thank you so much for all the help. I'll let know if i was successful.

Hi All!
I've a strange problem connecting to Kies. When i connect the phone and select kies modus the mtp program tries to initialize and crashes. This happens in a loop and this happens even, when i connect it to plain linux (my windows runs in a VM). ATM i m using Samset 1.9c but it happens with stockjm5, too. any ideas?
Just posted up on the themes and apps page, but basically with windows 7 64 Bit it is terrible, hardly ever connects.
On my 32 bit desktop I can at least connect most of the time, but your constantly having to pull in and out the usb cable.
It crashes, syncing with outlook is buggy and clunky...
This really lets the whole galaxy experience down for me, love the device to bits, but connecting to the PC is a pain
I tried everything
nothing seem to work for me
are there other ways to update the phone? like OTA?
Have you installed the most recent version of Kies.?
Have you removed the SD card form the Galaxy S?
Have you formated your internal SD drive on the Galaxy ensuring you have a backup of your data.?
These steps all seem to fix most problems with Kies. Has for me, has for a lot of people.
Also Kies does not like Debug mode nor does it like Mass storage device so ensure these are off on the phone.
Hey guys.. Kies only work with the default launcher... I don't know why, but the MTP application don't work if you have other launcher (like ADW.Launcher). Try to come back to the original and be sure that you are at home before connect the phone in order to get the MTP Application windows on focus...
deleting ADW and restarted the phone and the pc that was the only way... whats the last firmware? I havent had a firmware update yet:S
Hi
I have no problems connecting to Kies, if i reboot the the phone and then connect.
You don't need to delete ADW... only switch to default launcher..
now i'm using SE X2, but i got a big problem with SEUS when i wanna update my X2. After i had connected my x2 with SEUS successfully, finished downloading the new rom for X2 through SEUS, then it stoped, it didn't install new rom into my phone with the notice that the services was failed. I tried to reinstall seus but it still didn't work
Anyone helps me plz. thanks!
what windows do you use. is your pc strong enough to run SEUS, minimum specs are listed on the SE site? is your phone battery above 50%. test the usb cable if it works by transfering some data...

I have 2 PC's: 1 is a tablet laptop from HP (Vista 32bit), 1 is a desktop from Acer (Vista 64bit). The HP is high-usage, all sorts of crap on it. The Acer is low-usage, Media PC.
First few times I tried upgrading firmware (or reloading after a phone-hangup), I had to use the Acer, because every time I tried updating via the HP, ...it would run the progress bar ALL the way through the process to the end (right side of the bar), then give an error stating that the update failed.
A couple weeks ago, I did a reload again, and thought I'd give the HP a shot at it one more time. This time, it failed exactly the same way, but for some reason, I accidentally booted the phone.....and it was fine (did the whole new-setup as expected).
So, moral of the story:
--If the SEUS site isn't working for you, try another PC.
--If you have no other PC and the SEUS site is saying it's not working, don't believe it and try booting your phone anyway.
(I have a feeling that it never updates the bootloader, and that's in a separate memory space. So, you'd probably have to go out of your way to corrupt the phone so bad that you wouldn't be able to hook-up the bootloader with the SEUS site and try again.)
Hi whoami9999,
Just try it once again after stopping / disabling your anti virus and firewall.. And one more thing, don't forget to re-enable it after checking!
Regards,
Sujith
As long awaited update begins to be distributed in Poland but it seems to me. So if you're eager as I was, there is a very easy way to install and very simply and without losing its data, in short the MUST HAVE!
So instead of you enquiquinez Flashtool with the TWRP as you could see from everywhere (including xda where I got lost in the mass of information, links ...) and all the trimmings, it is very easily possible, installing marshmallow and a click!
In short, chat truce.
Tools​
.LG PCSuite (software designed by LG, no worries!) Downloadable here: http://www.lg.com/fr/support/pc-suite
.And that's all ! (minimum required, brain anyway)
Installation​
Obviously, it is essential that you are already on the Stock ROM and without ROOT without these two parameters, LG PCSuite will not detect new updates !!!
1- Select your model provides the link above and download LG PC Suite. Finally install it.
2- Once installed, open LG PC Suite and connect your PC to the LG G3
3- Make sure that the software detects your smartphone. If it is good, proceed to the next step. Otherwise, go on your G3, and verify that the MTP is selected for the software to access your smartphone data.
4- Now we are, bah left, tap "'Check Updates" on LG PCSuite on the home page (main page) and after two minutes the software will suggest D85530B - M ( or something similar if you were already on lollipop ). This update (MAJ) actually corresponds to Marshmallow, so it is gone, there is more to!
5- Install following information while selecting 'Do not make backup ", no worries, you will not lose any data! (Tested by myself) and wait while downloading (actually a .kdz file 1 , 2GB will be downloaded).
6- Finally, at the end of the download, you will see the G3 automatically entered into Download mode, before rebooting, etc ... then you start on Marshmallow . Wait a little first restart (personally, I had 75 applications that would update during the first startup.)
7- The last step in finalizing the installation, you will see on LG PCSuite "Continue upgrading" only continue doing that in the G3 arrives on the home page (the launcher what) then without restarted, it will solve the problem with the Google play services ...
8- So, just enjoy the new version!
For those who wish to have the file .kdz direct download, in case he would not receive the SHIFT PCSuite by LG, it is here

Thanks LG.

Can't update that way. Download the .kdz and use LG Flash tool 2014 and select cse mode (you will lose all data) so make a backup to PC or xternal SD card beforehand if you want to. You can download the .kdz from here XDA LG general thread LG G3 Android marshmallow discussions.
Hope this helps.

There are threads about saying I can use HiSuite to backup a 6P. But cannot find any info that it is 100% compatible with 6P.
I have tried with adb drivers and Huawei drivers that I think came with HiSuite and tried HDB drivers.
Windows10 can see my phone and I can browse the memory card.
I can use Mobikin to see my sms and other stuff but I don't want to purchase the software if HiSuite is supposed to work.
I need to backup the entire phone as my battery only lasts 5 hours or so and VodafoneAU say there is warranty on the phone and can get it fixed but data will be erased in the process.
I have Android SDK installed and still NG. I have USB debugging on but there is no way to download HDB on the phone as is shown on other Huawei models .
Any ideas as I have been looking for 4 hours to resolve and I am over it!!
HiSuite is compatible w/ the 6P, but the Huawei Backup app (required to be used in conjunction w/ HiSuite) in the Play Store is not.
Hisuite used to work fine on Marshmallow roms but after Nougat the Hisuite.apk that is responsible for synchronization between N6p and PC stopped being able to be installed to the phone from the moment the phone is connected to PC. I think Huawei abandoned the apk development for N6p after Nougat introduction.
I have a Lumia 640 that I de-branded from ATT to T-Mobile in 2016 using instructions on this site and it has mainly worked fine. There are two problems:
1. Even though backup settings and apps is set to on, I intermittently get prompted to backup up because "there has been no backup in a while". When I click to backup, the process goes to 96% and I get " We cannot connect to OneDrive. Update your phone and try again". When I go into OneDrive, it is empty -- no backups.
2. The phone has the latest Win8.1 version. Upgrade Advisor says "Upgrade unavailable for your phone. We are working with your carrier to make it available.
Does the fact that it is re-branded phone cause this? Any fix suggestions?
Thanks.
I thought that the upgrade to windows 10 was independent from the carriers. However you can try reinstall windows phone 8.1 (using the recovery tool) and then use the update advisor once again...
