Hello,
3 day's ago I bought Se arc and first thing what I want to do was find the latest version of firmware for this phone. I connect to my wifi, downloaded the latest soft version 4.0 and clicked install. After installing the phone has shutdown and does not respond now. After pressing the power button flash only for a moment the green light and thats all. After reading forum I tried to flash it and install 3.0.1.A.0.145 FT but still no reaction what can i do next ?
maybe you have an unlocked bootloader?!
Maybe your bootloader was unlocked and the OTA update brick your phone.
Just look in: Fix FOTA bricked phones
If that's the problem, you will find some usefull information to repair.
Bukest
yessssssssss it works
thanks
strange thing that you bought a bootloader unlocked phone, you can get problems with your warranty

thats why was so cheap ;/
ok, my phone work now and I wont to get new software version 4.0 what can I do ?
When I take update software in telephone always after instalation it doesn't wont turn on, but after connecting to pc companion 2.0 also I have error "Your phone contains a modified software, which can not be updated"
You have two options:
1.As you are already unlocked simply flash a custom ROM (Check for DoomLord's kernel in the forum).. U get root, ability to overclock and tons of other stuff..
2. If you want to stick to stock SE.. Relock bootloader and then update.. (Check the namaste guide..)
I'd go with the first one
I have new soft in my ARC
i do this i my way - I search forum xda for new soft for arc 4.0 and using flashtool instaled that soft and working ;] symply and quickly
Hi im hoping someone can help here.
I purchased a second hand LG Optimus G Pro.
So far everything works fine.
Today I tried to do a software update it let me download it no problem when i click install after 3% it stops and comes up with an error then reboots phone after reboot it says suspected rooted phone cannot update root phone.
The phone was already reset when i purchased it.I also hard reset it after the first attempt and used all root checkers and they all say no root.
Anyone had this issue or is this phone still rooted?
Is it my bootloader unlocked? How do i check this?
Would updating on a pc work?
Any help would be appreciated.

Try recovering through LG PC Suite. Then You won't need OTA Update.
Hi XDA users.
I've recently bought a new lg, the internatinal version. Now, I have the SEA firmware. I got an update from the LG PC Suite for version V20B. I wonder if I should update my device, since it's a new one and I still have my warranty.
Also, I am not at home most of the time, and I cant go fixing it during most of the week, so is it safe? are there any memory leaks like some people reported?
Thanks in advance.

Updating stock official LG Firmware through OTA or LG PC Suite does NOT void your warranty, only rooting does but you can get warranty back by unrooting. If you plan to root it then you shouldn't upgrade yet because right now it G3 can't be rooted when it's running stock LG Lollipop. If you don't care about rooting then you should definitely update with LG PC Suite, it's safe, it's fast, it's very good. My G3 was like a new phone. I would strongly suggest doing an factory reset after flashing for maximum smooth experience.

I just upgraded my D855 SEA version from v10k to v20b. All good, but then LG PC Suite wanted to upgrade again to v20b-L, but this time it went thru the upgrade and ended in a bootloop. I had to factory reset to fix it, and now its back on KitKat...
Just going thru the upgrade again now to lollipop....

Thx for the answer, though that my warranty isn't the ordinary one, my phone is from a private store and I don't quite sure about their policy, I would check it.

Thx for the answer, do you have any memory leaks? is it possible to restore back to kitkat without losing my warranty? and does it work for you now? should i factory reset it before updating?

Too early for memory leaks - that was specific to the Nexus 5 anyway i think.
Dunno about warranty stuff. To my knowledge using PC Suite is covered by warranty.
Lollipop works ok now. Took ages though to upgrade. From my terrible experience, i'd probably recommend a factory reset first, but you shouldnt have to.

And, are you suggesting me to upgrade? Is it much better? What improvements should I see in terms of speed and battery?
Thanks in advance.

Try upgrading with LG Flash Tool 2014.
Use this guide and links, make sure you download the right firmware and If you have 32GB phone make sure you DON'T try to flash the 16GB Firmware.

Its up to you. I like the lolliop notifications and Trusted Places functionality. I dont know about battery, i only just upgraded a few hours ago.
Guys i recently ordered an Asus Zenfone 2 Deluxe from a Chinese retailer. Obviously because the phone was the Chinese or Taiwanese Version they rooted the device and installed a WW Firmware before shipping it to me. The Version i have is 2.19.40.18 but the battary life is really bad. I realised all this when i tried to search for firmware updates but there is no way to search from the settings menu and the OTA Solution doesn't seem to work because i don't get a notification to update.
ADB doesn't work either because the 3 PCS i installed all the necessary drivers on, i couldn't get them to correctly recognise the device.
Anyways, i just want to be able to update the device to the latest WW software version, i don't care about the root if i will loose it because i don't use the device as a superuser.
What do you advice?
Same situation here. I have the same software version (both on device and in recovery). I also want to update the sofware but OTA option is unavailable in the SOFTWARE INFORMATION MENU, I tried manually but it doesnt work. I dont even know the root method used by seller so I dont know how to unroot, neither will unroot make manual OTA possible.
Please help someone.

Hope it helps.
It does! Thank you!!
I watched a few videos on YouTube on how to upgrade the Android O/S but none of them mentioned that it needs to unlock the bootloader 1st.
So before I found out that I need to unlock it I tried installing ROM before I knew that.
The phone came with Android Kitkat 4.4.2 and there is an official Lollipop for it that I want to install.
The device is rooted with Kingroot.
I tried the installations two times and the phone still works but I can no longer boot into recovery mode or fastboot mode. It just hangs and then I need to remove the battery to get it to work again.
I just want to restore it back to what it was before and then I will work on unlocking the bootloader.
I prefer to use tools that are free of cost.
Issue has been resolved.
I flashed the device with a pac file using SPD upgrade tool and now all is back to default.

Hi. I recently messed up my phone (Y560-U02)! Please help me.
Can you please tell me where I can find the "pac file" and "SPD upgrade tool"?

You meant un-official, right?
Sorry for the delay. I check the linked email once per month.
Do you still need help on this?
I thought that it was official Lollipop. But it does not exist for this phone.
Yes I can help you get it to what ever you need but it is not easy if you want to do more than just resorted it back to default.
I will tell you more if you still need it.
