I don't see why all this faffing about with proxy grabbers and URL guessing in necessary to get the correct firmware file for your LG phone, there is an easier way...
1. Go to the LG website and find your phone, download the USB drivers and mobile support tool.
2. Install the USB drivers, remove the battery from your phone and note the model number, serial number and IMEI number then replace the battery.
3. Turn on your phone and plug in your USB to the computer and phone and wait for the drivers to install.
4. Click your 'start menu' and select 'Computer', click the 'Tools' menu at the top left of the screen and select 'Folder Options' and then the 'View' tab, put the radio dot in the 'Show hidden files, folders or drives', also remove the check-mark from 'Hide extensions for known file types' and click 'Apply' then 'OK'.
5. Run the mobile support tool 'exe or setup' file, select the emergency firmware recovery thingy and enter your phones I.D from earlier
When the mobile support tool finds your firmware download, click to download it.
6. Immediatly navigate to 'C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone\' where you will find your firmware file in the process of downloading (mine was called 'V10A_00.kdz').
7. Keep an eye on the mobile support tool to see when the download is going to complete, before it does right click on the white background of the 'C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone\' folder and select 'Refresh' to update the firmware files downloaded file size - ideally do this several times during the download process to allow Windows to calculate the file size faster at the end and produce a useable '.KDZ' firmware file before the mobile support tool get's too far into the process of extracting it.
8. Once the mobile support tool changes from the downloading screen to the flashing part grab your firmware file and drag it to the desktop or any other location to copy it, you only have a small amount of time to do this before the mobile support tool extracts the files and deletes the '.KDZ' file so don't worry about scratching your arse just yet!
Just a note, I also copied the extracted '.CAB' file and 'DIAGCommand.xml' files for no real reason!
9. Once Windows has copied it and the 'File Copy' box closes YANK THE USB LEAD OUT OF YOUR PHONE!
If for any reason your computer takes longer than 10 seconds after the download finishes to copy the file then pull your USB lead if you don't want the phone updated and go buy yourself a decent computer!
If you wait any longer than 10 seconds after the download completes you may well brick your phone which I'd like to add I accept NO responsibility for, not even if you follow my method to the letter and still end up bricking your phone I promise you I won't lose a moments sleep over it!
What I can tell you is that the 10 seconds time frame I give is an over safe time frame. In reality your phone will not start to flash any data until it reboots so I suggest having the volume turned up to listen for the USB disconnect / reconnect sound. At the very latest remove the USB cable after the disconnect sound but if you hear the reconnect and the cable is still attached you have 2 choices, 1: Do nothing and have an updated mobile phone or 2: Pull out the USB cable and have no phone. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Hope this helps you. Please 'Thank Me' if it does.

First off im sorry for quoting op. Im try said method to get a kdz thats not released. As soon as im using old mobile support tool btw. But as soon as dl hits 100 tool attempts to extract it and imeaditly deletes its no 10 seconds. Literally like 1/2 second the goes to error. Long story short. I got a old lg vista frp locked and no available method to bypass i was gonna attempt to update it to a newer firmware to see if ne of the methods work there. The phone was released with kk and not really a antirollback protection. But theres a speci proced to downgrade and i figured if i could get back kk no frp
the method seems to work, so thank you for this solution, i tried a few times until I made it happen, the thing with this is that you can only get recent updates, and in my case I'm looking for an older version of the firmware. hope your post will be usefull to other. thank you.
LG OS downloads
Hey guys, LG has a site for their phone OS's, as well as other devices, DLs... Just Google LG OpenSource Code Distribution. Hope this helps.

I have installed the connectivity on many machines that others have given up on!
It's EASY! Before you begin, You might also need to open my computer, click on tools, folder options, views and put checks in display contents of system folders
also put a check on show hidden files and folders. Just so that you will be able to see the necessary folders and files.
1) Un-install any other android phone connection software that might be installed on the PC.
2) Use Microsoft Update and get the PC updated to the latest available updates.
3) Install the latest Media Player available to your OS. (XP is only capable of 11) NOTHING LOWER THAN !0 WILL WORK.
The files can be downloaded from the link below.
4) Copy the 2 files in the Toshiba INF folder to your Windows/inf folder (The original ones in your system are mostly the reason for the problem)
5) Install the Kies software, and do not let it update! The newer version won't work.(Don't panic, it takes a few minutes to complete the install)
6) After you're all done, make sure you have the USB Debugging checked on your phone. (Settings/developers options)
Connect the phone to the PC using the USB cable that came with the phone.
It may take a while for the new drivers to install, and also a while to recognize the phone. Just be patient
7) If the system does not work the first time, disconnect the phone and reboot the PC.
8) Open Kies and do the Troubleshoot Connection (it has kept a record of what needs to be fixed when it tried and failed.
9) After it completes, Re connect the phone to the PC, after a while, it will make the connection!
10) After the first time it connects, you will no longer need to run the Kies software to connect to the PC.
Just connect the cable and the PC will recognize the phone..
If for some reason it loses connectivity and cannot connect again, just run the kies again and it will work like it did before.
The files you will need (except the Media Player) can be gotten here:

http://www.putlocker.com/file/0D6BDDFFF311EF1C
Link added and checked as of 6/8/13
4) Copy the 2 files in the Toshiba INF folder to your Windows/inf folder (The original ones in your system are mostly the reason for the problem)
what is the windows/inf folder?
im tyring to search it but not getting any hits
thanks

I was advised to check this thread out in regards to my S2 lte having the same issue. That being said it hasn't worked. Can't see what I could be doing wrong. As far as i can tell the only thing that was even slight unclear is whether or not to delete the original files int he INF folder as the two files in the Toshiba folder have the same name as the ones in the INF folder. So I choose copy and replace. Was that incorrect?
AAARGHHHH the issue has now spread to my 10.1 Tablet. Nothing connects now.

That would be wherever YOU downloaded it to
when you click on the download link at the end of the list, you will download it. unpack the files. Then you will be able to copy them to the ini file folder in windows.
You might also need to open my computer, click on tools, folder options, views and put checks in display contents of system folders
also put a check on show hidden files and folders.
it's is not that hard to understand if you read the steps carefully. maybe you might want to print the list out, and check off each step as you complete it. Also you would be able to reference the file as you are doing the steps.
if you skip any one of the steps, or jump around, it may not work as the steps in the procedure were deliberately done to facilitate the actions that occurr behind the scenes, and still achieve the expected results.

RE-upped one and verified the other as working. 6/8/2013
this not works on my S4 ... I do all but NOT !! :crying:
Not working 29/12/2016
To establish connectivity, I would download the universal Samsung USB drivers or install Kies/SmartSwitch and use the original Samsung USB cable on a USB 2.0 port.
Can't download the files off that site, as well as I can't access my I535PP at all. I've tried everything, and at one point kies said my device wasn't supported yet it's on the list... Idk what to do...
Edit: Kies specifically says unsupported device when it goes to connect to it, and says to use smart switch but that wouldn't work either.
Windows 7 ...Not sure if it works with Windows 8. Test and inform me please ZV7

If you can get into download mode by holding Vol Up and then connecting a USB cable (while the device is off) then this method will work for you.
http://www.rwilco12.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=96
Thank you @rwilco12 for hosting the download
1. Download the above Zip and extract it to a folder on your Desktop called "LG G2 Stock" (or whatever you prefer to name it).
2. Install LGUnitedMobileDriver from "LG G2 Stock" Folder
3. Install Setup_LGFlashTool from "LG G2 Stock" Folder (You will get a log in error if you try to open it)
4. Extract MegaLock.zip from the "LG G2 Stock" Folder to C:\LG\LGFlashTool and overwrite existing MegaLock.dll file. This gets around the Log in Error you got before when you tried to open it.
6. Put phone in Download mode by holding Volume up for a couple seconds and then plugging the phone in via USB.
7. Go to Windows Start Menu and under "search programs and files" type "device manager" and open it up.
8. Go to Ports (COM & LPT). You should see LGE AndroidNet etc... Right click it and go to Properties > Port Settings > Advanced > Change COM Port Number to COM41 > OK > OK > Close Device Manager
9. You should have a LGFlashTool shortcut on your desktop. Double Click it to open it up.
10. In the Model Config that opens up Select Manual Mode in top left.
11. For DLL browse to "LG G2 Stock" folder and select LGLS980_20130904_LGFLASHv151.dll file
12. For S/W browse to "LG G2 Stock" Folder and select LS980ZV7_01.tot file
13. Hit OK and then click the Yellow Arrow in top left of LG Flash Tool. Wait for it to say "READY!!"
14. Unplug your phone and power it off (it may reboot before you can power it off).
15. Go back into download mode and the stock ROM will start flashing on it's own. It should take no more than 10 minutes. It may stop around 80% but your phone will say 100% and reboot and Presto! Back to stock or unbricked! (Whichever you were trying to do)

Those files are already in the OP. Also those instruction, written out much more clearly, are in the OP. So why post it?
The instructions above are for LG LS980 SPRINT device

I'm not sure why you would try that when the original post has the exact same steps explained much more clearly. I woUld refer to OP and maybe try again following STEP BY STEP
As your device is recognized by the flash tool as an LS980 it should work. If you need clarification on how to do a particular step or few then I am glad to assist.
Please Assist..
It would be a great pleasure...
The instructions to root the LG Optimus G Pro are posted in other threads and multiple pages on the web.
And I thank the folks who have done all the hard work to make that possible.
So tonight I finally got around to using those instructions and found that, as usual, a few key things were either left out or given in the wrong order, which inevitably is going to make some folks say "It doesn't work!" because, as written, it doesn't quit work.
So here's an edited version of the instructions from other folks, with the stumbling points cleared up and made into YnGlitch for dummies like me, so you'll get it right the first time. I hope. This worked on an AT&T branded phone, btw. Clarifications and comments in red.
1. (Optional if you have another means of un-RARing) Download and install 7-zip from here
2. Download and install LG USB Drivers from here.
(THE LINK IS http://www.lg-phones.org/lg-optimus-g-pro-usb-drivers.htmlWithout )
these drivers, your computer won't be able to effectively communicate with your phone. This is vital for the steps we will be taking.
3. Enable USB debugging by going to Settings->(General)->Developer options" and checking the box next to "USB debugging." You will get warnings. You can probably ignore them. This setting will allow you to run commands on your phone from your computer (via USB). For more info on the Android Debug Bridge, click here.
4. Download and extract (using 7-zip (or whatever)) the root exploit from here.
5. Connect your phone to the computer with your USB cable.
6. Put the phone into "Charge Only" mode at Settings->General->PC connection->USB connection type
7. Open CurrentRoot.bat and follow its prompts. See below. You will need to change from "Charge Only" to "Media sync (MTP)" mode. The setting is in the same place.[Change to Media Sync before running currentroot.bat]
Phone will reboot when this finishes running, wait it out.
8. Run SuperSU (now in your apps drawer) [that's the APPS folder on the phone, not APPS: DOWNLOAD folder] it and make sure it works. This program allows others to gain access to superuser privileges. For more info on rooting and what kind of stuff it lets you do, click here and/or use Google.
Thanks to XDA User carrett for this.
Thanks for your thread but you might wanna add the links for rooting(such as the link for currentroot.bat) . Also, just to check, does this work with KitKat?

yes, the links will be helpful
I rooted my LG Zone from verizon and would like to share with you guys how exactly I did it. It took some trial&error but I eventually got it. First off you're going to need the following
Windows 7 Operating System
Usb Cord
Rooting toolbox
Universal ABD Driver
Due to the fact that I'm new I apparently can't insert links, so as much as i want to I cannot lead you directly to your materials. First google how to root lg zone. You'll run into another xda forum by the user thepcmrtim. He talks about how he took 3 weeks to root the phone. He'll give you the dropbox link with the toolbox.
The dropbox file is safe to save to your computer. Inside the zip file(which you should unzip) you will find instructions that were not written by me. You can either follow that persons instructions or you can follow mine. But the instructions aren't completely useless. You will also find Super One Click (You will need this) folder, and universal ABD driver master (You don't really need this). As for the Universal ABD Driver, open the instructions document using wordpad or Microsoft Word and you will find a github link. Follow the link using your favorite browser and you want to scroll down and download the windows installer one. It'll install everything for you. Once again, its all safe to download.
By now you should have everything you need to root your lg Zone! Lets get down to business.
Step One. Open the .msi (installer) file for Universal ADB Driver. Install that. Once its installed, open "computer<local disk(mine is named that, idk about yours. Its usually drive C)<Program Files<ClockworkMod<Universal ABD Driver<usb_driver
Step Two. for the less tech savvy this is where the coding comes into play. Nothing heavy just a little copy and paste. For those with a little experience this will be a walk in the park. Open the android_winusb setup information file in notepad. Scroll down to the LG section, and underneath the last %LG% thingy, press enter and paste in the following two lines.
%LG% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1004&PID_6244
%LG% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1004&PID_6244&MI_04
Then press save. If access is denied open notepad as administrator, set the filter to All Documents(Or files, i don't know from the top of my head), and go to the usb_driver folder. Open android_winusb stepup information file. Repeat the step above, and save.
Step three. Now you want to check and make sure your phone's driver is installed on the computer. For those "who ain't got time for that" skip this step. Its merely a precaution. Now you can usually tell if your phone's driver is installed on the computer if you can access your sd card on the computer by connecting your phone via usb cord. But to make sure go to your control panel and go to Devices and Printers. For those who have their setting on "category" in the top right hand corner, set it to large icons. OR small, your pick. By then Devices and Printers should be visible.
Then hook up your phone via usb cord, go to settings<Applications<Development and check USB debugging. Give it a minute and then check to see if you see something like LGE Android Phone. If you see it, but it has a ! with a yellow triangle around it that means the driver wasn't installed successfully. This could have been for multiple reasons and I can't provide the solutions for all of them so my suggestion to you is to google it. If you see that it installed successfully its time to root.
Step four. Turn off usb debugging but keep the phone plugged in. Then go into the Rooting for Optimus Zone (Hopefully you unzipped it, if not do so now) you downloaded and open up SuperOneClick.exe. It's icon is the droid guy with some red aura around him. Here you will be presented with a box, five buttons, and a switch with two options. Ignore the samsung captivate tab, because we're here to root an LG zone. On the "exploit" switch, click rageagainstthecage and then click the root button in the top left hand corner. Some command lines with stuff you don't understand may jump at you but don't worry. Nothing will blow up. When it gets to the "waiting for device" bit turn on usb debugging so it can begin the real rooting process. It may cycle a few times, but don't turn off usb debugging unless it seems the commands are repeating indefinitely.
Step five. Sit back, and watch your hard work, work for you.
Step six. It should say when its finished, and when it is it will prompt you if you would like the run a test. Run the test. If it fails, you DO NOT have root. You screwed up somewhere, or your phone is just plain screwed up to where it just can't be rooted. If it succeeds then unplug the phone, turn off usb debugging, power off and power on, and install/update "SuperUser" from the google play store if needed. Then wabam. Your LG Optimus Zone is rooted. Have fun recording your screen with screencasters, uninstalling default apps from the phone, and whatever crazy stuff you always wanted to but couldn't because you needed root. Well if you followed this step for step, you now have root.
I need some assistance trying to find a method to root my Dash M (which appears to be extremely rare to find a rooting method for).
I already tried framaroot (tool I used to root my tablet before) and Kingroot and such, but none were able to do it (and all google searches led to videos on rooting a BLU Dash 5.0 or another device from the Dash range, which isn't what I needed).
The Dash M is running Android 5.1 and custom build BLU_D030U_V16_GENERIC 28-01-2016 15:41
If anyone could help it'd be very much appreciated c:
Unlock OEM in developer mode and try it whit Kingroot

I have a Blu Advance 5.0, from the same exact family. In May, they had an OTA sent out to it to update the security. And little did I know, that meant no more root. Before the OTA to V06, I was on V04, and was able to root with Kingroot in less than a minute, perfectly. After the update, nothing good came of it.
For the past months I've tried hundreds of things to flash custom roms and recoveries (which I figured it out eventually) and then it crashed, due to a "damaged OTA". This meant that it couldn't update because I was rooted.
So here's the solution... If there's any older versions of your model or chipset (AKA Mediatek D030UX, D030U {MT6580}), download that firmware to your computer desktop as a (.zip) file. Then download the SP Flash Tool (Smart phone flash tool) from their website, and plug your phone into your computer via Media Transfer (MTK).
If you already have developer's options enabled, skip this.
- Go into your settings, go all the way down to "About Device", and find where it says "Build Number" (which will most likely have the phone brand in the file name). Tap on that about 8 times until it give a toast notification saying "Developer's Mode Enabled".
After you get that done, go back into your regular setting and now there should be a box above your "About Device" button that says "Developer Options". Tap that, then turn them on (press OK/YES if a prompt pops up) and then select the following options ,if available.
-OEM Unlock
-USB Debugging
Now plug your phone into a computer and install the drivers for your phone (it should do it automatically) and launch the SP Flash Tool that you had downloaded (extract to desktop before you launch, or it will show "error"). Now open the SP Flash tool and click on the "Scatter Loading" button. Navigate to your desktop, and find the firmware folder you downloaded. Click on that, then click on "Firmware", and it should bring up a .TXT file (Scatter file) with the desired firmware version you want. Click on it and press open.
A chart will appear in the space below with all the things the firmware has built in. All of them should be checked. Take out your battery now (from your phone) and plug the phone in without the battery. Wait for the model on the left to name your device, and click on the drop down list above the chart, it should give 3 options. Firmware Upgrade, Download only, and Format All + Download. Press Format All + Download. The bar at the bottom will turn a few colors, depending on what it's doing.
Now you're done! It's flashed. From that version, try to figure out a way of rooting it.
WARNING: Flashing erases all data on device, please backup to an external storage (SD CARD), before attempting this, in case you brick your device.

i know this is an old thread but.... i rooted mine (Dash M) with KingoRoot (look it up on Google)... i tried lots of stuff with no results, everything failed (i've already tried to root with KR in windows) but the only thing that worked was rooting with the android app in KR page... i felt really stupid after trying everything with no results when i've been using KR for other "hard phones".... either way, the only downside is that their SU manager displays all the time ads no matter where in the phone you are... but you can freeze the app to fix this and unfreeze it when you need to assign permissions....
BTW: its KingoRoot not kingroot (just in case)
