Is there any rom I can flash that will let me upgrade via kies to the new official JB?
I've gone through 5 roms now.. the closest was BlackCream which kies recognized but said it was unable to update the firmware on that device... most of the rest say "cannot start service on the device"
Anyone been able to do this successfully? Or have a better way for a non-stock user to get the new update? Thanks!
Just use mobile Odin

Restore you phone to factory by Samsung Kies. Works on most Samsung units.
After messing around with odin for awhile I gave this method a shot and it worked perfectly, gave me the 4.1.1 firmware. Keep in mind this will erase all internal memoryand you will be unrooted.
Tried to install a ROM in which it didn't work. I then attempted to recover my backup I had saved so I did that. Once I finished doing that I restored my .efs file and rebooted. Now it's telling me "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". So I went back to Odin, downloaded the stock .md5 file and it fails right when it goes to the recovery step. I'm running out of options and I bought this phone a month ago with no warranty. Is there any chance Samsung could replace the phone?
Model # : SPH-L900. I've also tried different USB slots, a different computer, re downloaded the stock firmware and still giving me a fail right when it goes to recovery
Thanks.

Thank you.I seemed to have gotten it to work with "SPH-L900_MA7_Stock_Restore.tar.md5".
Great then. Keep the other thread. It might come handy.

Here's the situation: I was trying to root and got too hasty. Through a series of unfortunate events I seem to have erased my phone? I followed the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33558212&postcount=1 and got fails. Cannot now get to recovery mode on the phone itself. It now says " firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in lies and try again"
I can still access download mode.
PLEASE HELP

Here you find the latest stock recovery, and here you find stock ROMs.
I hope you don't need a step to step guide how to flash them with Odin.
PS: I found both threads in under a minute using the search...
enter download mode and flash with a stock rom using odin.

Hi all,
mt LG Optimous Pro G E988 has been working fine for 6 months,
But over night there was a OTA update, and now my phone is "stuck"
I say stuck because it will boot with the message
"Secure Booting Error"
"Cause: Device Unlock!! So Boot Sucess!!!"
then it goes into my CWM Recovery....
I had rooted with cwm
Here is where I am having the problem. It never fully installed the OTA update, because I had a boot loader installed.
I had tried to wipe everything and do a factory update, but no use.
I also tried using LG Mobile Support Tool to reflash the factory ROM
as per: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45953380&postcount=1
Yesterday when I tried it, the LG f;lash tool said it was not able to connect to the LG Server
But today the program is saying there is not enough power and may cause a problem.
I have just charged the phone for 9 hrs straight. I don't believe that it's undercharged
Is there a way for me to flash the phone with the original ROM without connecting to LG's server (using their Support Tool)?
Please help.
Thanks
Since you already have CWM installed I hope you have a backup which you can restore. Backup your apps and settings using tools like super backup or titanium. Then reload the JB 4.1.2 kdz from pc. You can look for the steps on xda forums. Once that is done successfully you will loose root. Then try official update via OTA. Or you can try to update via pc tool. Someone already shared the kitkat kdz on xda forums. You can try that too. All the best.

Unfortunately I do not have the backup anymore.
I also tried updating via the LG Mobile Support Tool, which did not work as it gives an error about not being able to connect to the server
I tried the guide from Madmack "[GUIDE] [E980] Fix soft bricks. Flash back to stock using LGFLashTools"
But I have not been able to locate the TOT file for the international E988
I tried to use the one he provided and it did not work (yea I'm desperate to try anything now)
Anyone out there have a TOT file for the international E988?
Or is there a way to crate one from the KDZ files?
please help
thanks
Not sure why you need a tot file. Kdz is fine. Look in xda for guides on loading the kdz file. That is a sure way of unbricking your phone. If it is still bricking after kdz load go jnto stock recovery and clear all caches and reboot. Most guides i have used mention this as an optional step.

Same thing happened to me with the value update. You have no choice but to reflash stock with the lg flash tool. I flashed mine with the telcel flashware but got brave enough before the kitkat update to flash back to att with .tot file .You should be fine once you reflash stock

Here is the link to the tutorial ... http://www.cellrabta.pk/2013/10/how-to-flash-big-kdz-files-optimus-g-gk-g-pro-g2-and-others/.
Note that it is not my own but a tutorial that I used successfully for my phone multiple times.
And here is the link to the XDA forum discussion that has links for the KDZ downloads ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438088

First error in my experience is irrelevant to the ROM and doesn't affect flashing. I always get that error using TWRP 2.8.7.0 and have wondered what's the chase myself. I rarely use Odin so I can't really say, maybe the ROM needs to be specially formatted to be flashed through Odin?

Thanks for the reply. I guess we'll have to sit around to see if someone can shed some light. I thought maybe that was a reason why i couldnt flash roms successfully.

The vast majority of problems flashing with Odin can be traced to the connection between the phone and the pc, either the cable or one of the ports. If Odin recognizes the phone and you can start the flash but it fails, then it is very likely a connection problem.
