Thank you for cooking the LG Expo base rom for flashing. Included MS Office is not 2010 and no threaded email. Included Windows is 6.5. 5.2.2174. Looking forward to an update with Windows 6.5.3 and Office 2010. I am a fan and contributor from your LG Incite ROMs. Thanks! Rick

I tried to flash with the eXpo ROM, I followed the intructions, but it didn't work and I can't download the IQ flasher because of the death of download link.
Can you please reupload it?
Thanks

As I saw in oneof your other posts you are using a GM750. This isn't even the same phone as the eXpo or IQ. You're not going to be able to flash one of these roms to your phone. There are hardware differences and software differences that prevent this.

That means that It's impossible to flash the GM750?

It's not impossible to flash the GM750. You need a rom that was made for that phone.

When that happens it should still go into emergency download mode even though the screen might not say it. Try it again and run the update.

help with flashing
I cannot complete the flasing process im using windows 7 an cannot get pass step 7 as windows is unable to install the drivers properly. Is there a way to manual install the drivers ? The phone will go to the emergency download screen and the comp just says "driver instalation was unsuccessful ". Looking in the device manager i can see the LG USB MODEM with the ! of a failed instal. Any help would be much appreciated.

The drivers do have their own installer, you should be able to find it in one of the sub folders of c:\users\all users\lgmobileax
thx xdapants i did find the drivers but this did not fix the issue. It seems to be a connection problem with phone and comp (a common problem it would seem) do i`ve orderd and am still waiting for a new cable and hope this is the simple fix im looking for. However, if like i suspect this still does not work can i flash from memory card ? i think this was possible with the htc kaiser (best phone ever) or if not can i flash over a bluetooth connection ?

I don't believe it's possible to flash an lg phone from the memory card, at least not at this point. And as the phone needs to be in download mode, flashing over BT wouldn't be possible.
Consider trying a different USB port; ideally on the opposite side of the computer if you haven't already.
Hopefully the replacement cable will work for you. It seems to be the phone doesn't like being used as a storage device, but that shouldn't really have any bearing the download mode connection.
Im trying to flash my IQ to the latest Dragonstorm ROM and got a error with a load of Chinese characters and something about a server error. Did i miss anything? I got it to see my device and it was put into emergency download no probs. I just a bit reluctant to not wanting to brick my phone
did you extract to the correct location?
Hello everybody,
i'm stuckin in bootloop with my G3 and tried to flash the stock with the Flash Tool from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
I've tried the tool with windows 7 x64 and windows 8.1 x64.
The problem is that everytime the tool stucks at 10% at "S/W Upgrade is in progress". After 10 minutes the tool abort the progress due to an unknown error. I've tried it with the Flash Tool, with the Mobile Suite and LG PC Suite. The drivers are installed and i tried different usb ports, but no difference.
The display on the phone show following text while it stucks at the progress:
U User S0. 1 AS0.0 B100 UHS
S U LG-D855 04.4.2 Hrev_10
D85510h
D85510h

The progress bar on the phone does not change. It displays 0% the whole time.
I'm now out of any ideas how the problem could be solved? Does anyone have an idea?

I would use windows 7 not 8 unless you disable the signature verification at boot. I had this same issue and I fixed it by trying a different set of dll, and tot files along with updating my mobile driver for the phone.

Thank you very much! Finally got it working again. Reason was Windows 8 and I think also the wrong dll.
Hey
I wanted to install Lollipop on my D855 using KDZ file so I proceed using instructions:
1. Install LG drivers
2. Enter download mode on the phone
At step 2 Windows detects new device and starts to install drivers.
For some reason it fails to install LG MTP driver. In the error I see "Device could not be started (Code 10)"
I tried this on:
my laptop (english Windows 7 x64)
desktop (polish Windows 7 x64)
virtualbox (windows 8.1 x64)
All with the same result. Could not install the driver
Is this normal and I should just proceed with LG Flash Tool 2014 or something is definitely wrong?
Bartek
Try to download the latest driver.
This one worked for me https://mega.co.nz/#!fR4QWApA!OMCuZzz9ZpBoHxOcxjDM49hL11iVHjYW-b2ttdH1c9w
i get the same stupid bull**** on XP and 7, can't win for losing seeing how i softbricked my lg g3.
Wow 3500 people have viewed ur thread yet only 3 replies how selfish this world is...
Simple solution go to device manager uninstall all the lg drivers reinstall all them again make sure ur screen is on when it ask to connect to pc select yes a drive will be shown on ur pc named g3
I will flash a Rom with the LG Flash Tool 2014 but whene i go in the Download Mode i see in Device Manager the LG Driver is not work. How can i use MTB with Windows 10?
Compatibility Mode
I found that LG Flash Tool 2014 got funky and wouldn't complete the first time I tried to flash a KDZ file after updating my Dell Latitude 1764 to Windows 10. After hours of unsuccessful troubleshooting, I finally had the brainstorm to run LG flash Tool 2014 in the Windows compatibility mode that matched that of my laptop when Flash Tool worked. Just locate the application file (lgflashtool2014.exe) in Windows Explorer, open the file's Properties, click on the Compatibility tab, and choose Windows 8 for the compatibility mode. After that change, Flash Tool worked perfectly.
Hi all,
I have D851 T-Mobile 32GB device and D851 V30E stock rom installed
* I installed LG drivers : LGUnitedMobileDriver_S51MAN313AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_4.1
* I downloaded V20E Kdz file and Lg Flash Tool 2014
* Switch to download mode
Everytime I stack on %4 of process and fail. I tried different combinations with different KDZ file but result is same.
I did not understand what is the problem. (win10 64 PRO)
Also I tried on another computer but result is same. (win8 x86 )
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks.
Hi.i'm new
Hello
It does not work on Windows 10 because flashtool is only compatible with Windows XP / Vista / 7 and very little at 8
I recommend installing Windows 7 on a hard disk partition by double boot, since in virtualbox gives multiple errors
I hope I've helped
