My G6 is connected to LG Bridge as you can see in photo. When I click software update it says unable to check software version, try again. Any ideas? I've had this issue with other LG devices and other computers. I've installed the latest LG mobile drivers 4.20 and I've installed latest LG Bridge app 1.2.36 driving me nuts.
Found a work around. From what I recall out of four LG phones none of the ever worked with LG Bridge. My tablet is the only thing.
I downloaded this took off the LG UK website under H870. Look what it shows for my tablet.

Do you have admin permissions when trying do update your phone?
Had an similar issue when it told me, that it can't connect to the server but with the right permissions it worked.
Make sure usb debugging is enabled in developer settings.
Recently went back stock and relocked bootloader. Used LG bridge to update to 10T and worked fine
Tried LG Bridge on my Sprint G6 on my Win7 computer. Although program installed ok never could get the software to do anything, kept getting an error message (something to do with connecting). Finally called LG support who matter-of-factly told me that their software only works with Win10, will not work on Win7. If so, nothing about this issue stated in the software notes. LG was of no help really and I find it hard to believe their response. Just say'n...
Mine started working normally after 6 months I guess LG takes its time to update for it to work.

Yeah the phone always ask permissions to allow some other unkown "body" to connect with it. But when you press allow then next time it should connect auto.
You only chose what you wanna do as camera, mass media, etc.
You don't have to enable usb debugging to connect the phone to LG Bridge, neither to connect it to PC.
I've never had issues with bridge and mobile drivers were always found auto.
Black Knight your internet connection is it poor ? And is your carrier T-Mobile ?
Can you go to some friend and try update from his PC ( internet ) ?
Internet connection is great, and I have Tmobile
I think then thats why you cant update software. Because of t mobile.
Did you try through settings ?

I just updated my LG optimus 7 to 7.8 a few sec ago. here are the pictures to prove it and of course the link on how to do it (i cant post the link so just copy it in to your browser). So, after all, seems like all WP7 devices are getting this update!

Can't get my phone to update
Hi,
Thanks for the tips, however I can't get my LG Optimus E900 to update.
I have tried the force update method and also the manual cab method but the manual cab method backs up the phone and installs the cabs, then fails with an error saying no applicable package...
Any further ideas on how I can update my device? It's a European LG Optimus E900 model if that makes any difference.
Thanks

I have a European Optimus and i forced the update.Just follow the steps provided in the link.
Hi, thanks however I have tried the force update method several times as well as ensuring all the cabs are in as per the manual update instructions including ensuring the right language packs are there but still get exactly the same error as before.. no applicable packages... guess I'll have to give up for the time being and try again in a couple of weeks or so...
E900H: Update went smoothly, even if I had to use the disconnect trick (force update). I had an Internet sharing option form another ROM, and it was not removed for the simple reason that when you use an other carrier ROM, it's this one that's get updated, leaving all the functions and features like they were before.
Unlock is removed by the way but seems that you can get it back with MFG.
I hope also that SIP (VOIP) is now available with 7.8 because it's what I am really missing from IOS or Android!
What has 80072FA8 error or just no update found!
On this time I tried a long time update with disconnect trick. But... no updates.
NOW... from FIRST time update was found!
Solution:
yeah... first of all good things happen to UK. So we will use UK proxy.
Go to Settings - mobile network , then edit apn. In "APN, Username, Password" I typed my provider settings. In "Proxy server/URL" type 109.169.40.229 and in "Proxy port" type 8080. Here Done.
Next step: in computer STILL connected internet, in phone wifi is disconnected.
And last step: in Zune click update. Waiting about ~2 minutes, because proxy is very slow.
Result:
Thanks for UK proxy :laugh:
Got it! from Colombia with a euro open optimus7.
Tried starting from 2 second of wait between push "update" and disconnecting internet, incrementing by half seconds every step, I got it at the 6th attempt, with 4,5 seconds between click "update" and disconnect internet (I disconnected from internet pulling out the power plug of the ethernet hub connected to my computer)
Good luck to everybody, I go to enjoy my new WP7.8! ..and to update my sign
Edit: I got 3 updates, the first, left the phone still with WP7.5, the second too, the third effectively updated the phone to WP7.8, the right update have this build number:
7.10.8858.136
Plugged it in, surprise surprise update available
Country:Hungary
Carrier free
Sent from my YP-GI1 using xda app-developers app
I just got it to work using the unplug method, I'll be keeping this phone a bit longer now

i was lurking online stores for a new wp8 device but suddenly something told me, y u no check xda?
so after many attempts, force update worked and currenlty being installed on my solid rock e900!
thanks 4 saving me 300€ xda & friends ! :good:
Just installing!
Just installing the update now.
I have a German LG E900, running on a UK Talkmobile (MVNO of Vodafone)! No wonder I had to force update!
I tried loads of things, and on the verge of giving up, when I used the UK Proxy tip, earlier in the thread. (Even though I am already in UK!)
I also noticed by doing that that I didn't even have an APN.... maybe that had something to do with it.
Anyway, the FIRST time I used the UK proxy, it found the update. However the update failed because I didn't switch the internet back on my laptop.
So...
1. Switch Wifi off on your phone, but leave data on (using UK Proxy as earlier in thread)
2, Internet ON your PC/Laptop, then open Zune and check for updates. If no update is found then carry on to step 3
3. Click update again, then after 3 seconds or so, disconnect internet from your PC
4. repeat steps 2-3 until it finds an update.
5. Once it finds an update, make sure you switch the internet back ON your laptop/PC, otherwise you'll have to repeat all over again!
Thanks to everyone for the tips. Good work. I assume my phone will be working ok, I will post an update if any problems.
Cheers
My LG E900 now are Windows Phone 7.8 (OS Version 7.10.8858.136).
Updated by tweaking server with disconnecting router cable 5sec after clicknig Update button .
Enjoy!
i keep getting an error saying it cant search for an update, i tried two different computers, no luck, i tried the force update by switching off wifi, still no luck. Can someone help? thanks
I also try to update my phone.
First I tried with the cable trick. This did not work. I always got the 801812DC error which is refering to not be able to create a backup.
I hard reset the phone as recmmended but no result.
I checked the back up directory bt nothibg was in.
I tried on a fresh PC.
I tried with the tool from windowsphonehacker, the so called seveneighter.
I tried different USB ports
I tried different USB cables.
All are giving me the same 801812dc error.
Is there any other possibility? I also contacted LG but as I bought the phone as a used one I have no official bill. Therefore I can not prove it is not already out of warranty.
Please anny suggestion would be helpfull.
I had the same error when I update to 7.5. At this time I downgraded via a cab file from teh forum and then everything as working normally via Zune.
It's just time temping and patience. Beleive me, but if you have no patience, try to use this tool: LINK at your own risk!

This process does work! just a few extra notes on my experience
I have sim free UK LG E900 with Giff Gaff sim
For a successful upgrade process I had to;
First delete the giff gaff APN info and create a new apn with just the IP address and port info on page 1
I then had to reboot phone with new apn info
The timing of disconnecting the internet from the windows PC is critical , I have a laptop, with a combination of Function Key and F11 I can disable wireless pretty much instantly , if you disconnect to soon you get the update service is not available error , if you disconnect to slowly you get the Phone is upto date no update required problem , it seems to be somewhere between 2- 3 seconds ( I used to old 1000, 2000, 3000 counting method :silly: and it is somewhere between 2000 and 3000)
In total I had to update 3 times (as per previous post ) in order to get 7.8
But now thanks to the above technique I have a LG E900 at Windows 7.8 :good:
Hi Everyone!
I recently got an H873 LG G6 but it looks like the oreo update for it has still not shown up. I read online that this model received the oreo update a while back (a few months ago).
I tried using the LG USB Bridge software but it gives me an error.
https://imgur.com/a/JeOAg2r
Note that I have installed the PC drivers. ADB works just fine. USB Debugging is enabled.
Can anyone help me out here?
Here is the link for the firmware, if you have everything working now you should have no trouble loading the firmware https://lg-firmware-rom.com/

Wrong thread, please move it to Q&A.
Your lg bridge is outdated.Go to settings and update version.Same happened to me.After lg bridge update reboot computer and open bridge again.Should work now
hello, first of all sorry for posting here but there is no where else to post, I have lg g6+ and it is updated to android 8.0 security patch level (1 July 2018), updated from the normal check for updates settings in the phone, and since then I had several issues, some of which I had an error moisture detected in the port, but with time it is gone, others like the type c must be connected on a certain side and if I did inverse it I always get that the phone charges and discharges several times per second and that one is still there, but the major one is that since the update I cant transfer files through usb cable (genuine from the box), tried changing the setting from developer settings to and from mtp but yet in vain, tried changing the cable and the laptop but yet the same issue, if I have to transfer files it has to be wireless through air drive or Bluetooth which is not satisfying if transferring large files, please help if you know how to solve any of those issues especially the last one :crying:
N.B. the software is official firmware, there is no custom rom I can find, the phone cant be unlocked I guess :crying:
have you checked device manager when the phone is connected?
Any exclamation marks in there?

btw I can find an update for the device on the official lg site for h870dsu but it is for HKG region, but nothing for KSA region (from where I bought my device) is it okay to flash the HKG kdz file using LG mobile support tool or there will be difference and issues due to change in the region?
also regarding the support tool for some reason it aint working for me, is it for you as well?
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.

I've got literally the exact same problem...
I've tried everything that is possible, it was working perfectly with twrp, magisk root and even had edxposed (stock android, safetynet pass, Google pay working). I wanted finally the pie, kdz file has shown up so I wanted to update it as always (with twrp I could only update via LGUP) stopped at 10% and the it shown an error and turned off. Once I disconnected my cable while updating but was able to reconnect and relaunch update without any issue or losing data! Now I didn't know what to do so I gave it to a service, 2 and half week passes, they arek still working on it, if I have anything after that and my phone connects to pc or boots to android I will tell.

After I get back my phone I will try it, but as the phone wasn't seen by laptop after connecting it then using another lg up wouldn't have any sense. There may be two problems, or I ****ed up something while trying to update to pie or the kdz file isn't good. The servise told me today that there is a problem with the first partition, that's why the phone isn't seen after connecting. If I hadn't root my phone I could send it to lg because I'd still have my warranty, but now I'm waiting so they tell me how much it'll cost to use a special device that connects to the motherboard or something like that to get the first partition installed.

You are having the same problem as me, if you still have your warranty, then you can send your phone to an lg service, if not do it on your own money. After I get my phone back I will tell you if it still has all the data on it, but I'm more than sure that it has lost it. If in any way I get back then I can suggest you to get it repaired if you haven't got any backup done, if not it might be better to buy a new phone.
