Hi,
I've a LG optimus G Korean version (F180L). I'm facing issues to update official firmware in my mobile. While I try updating firmware using LG mobile support tool , I get error 'Not enough free disk space'.It's a brand new mobile and have lot of free space. I searched the forum for resolving this issue, but I couldn't find suitable solution.
Then I tried updating the firmware using KDZ tool as per instructions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861854
I entered into software mode by power button and volume up key simultaneously and upon LG logo pressed volume down key twice and then connected the device. I got a message as in the attachment(software mode),I don't know korean hence assumed it to be software mode. Then upon flashing I got the message as in attachment(flash error).
Can someone help me flash an english firmware in my mobile.
TIA
The screen says:
This is a state for service center's backup and upgrade.
Usual users, please dont use this state and leave it by holding the power button for 8 seconds.
Something like that.
Your logs says:
Port= -1
and PHONE NOT FOUND.
I bet you didnt install the drivers properly or you didnt choose the proper port

Contemplating trying to flash .kdz to downgrade firmware and regain root. Battery life seemed better when rooted, with 50+processes frozen (Titanium) and cpu profiles set (setCPU).
Before flashing the .kdz, which PC Connection mode do you select for the device (charge only/ mtp/ lg software)?

I didn't flash it using kdz tool, just updated firmware using LG mobile support tool and I used LG software mode for that.

I tried downgrading firmware via flashing .kdz but keep getting the PORT -1 error, not sure what I'm doing wrong...
- PC running Vista
- downloaded and installed LG USB driver using LG Mobile Support Tool, message indicates successful
- turn off device, reboot into service mode (hold power + vol up)
- connect device to PC via USB
- Device Manager, no LG modem listed **I think my problem lies here somewhere?**
- run Windows Enabler as admin, click in tray so "ON" is displayed
- run KDZ_FW_UPD_EN as admin, Type = 3GQCT
- navigate to appropriate .kdz file, press "launch software update"
- unpacks .kdz, then PORT -1, DEVICE NOT FOUND error occurs
any advice or insight would be appreciated. and Happy Holidays to everyone as well!
EDIT:solved. need to put device into Download Mode. power off. insert usb. hold power/ vol up/ vol down. release buttons when Download Mode icon apperars on screen. proceed. Cheers to boakun and l0ng0ne on the ICR channel.

Yes, I have a Korean device, since I live in South Korea. The firmware is Korean, with language set to English. When you set the language, literally everything is translated. I downloaded the firmware from LG servers using my own IMEI prior to upgrading to the latest ota that broke root for me.

It has taken me many days to find a tool to flash KDZ AND TOT since many people show an error at 4% of FlashTool and there is no solution so this is your Post.
LGUP is a tool used by Lg for phones that still have a guarantee such as a system error or a software error.
Compatible with Windows vista/7/8/10 No macOS No Linux
Thanks to DroidTH for giving me a link
ok let's start
Renember: All will be erased in the internal memory.
Your warrantly is now avoid
Visit [How-to] Flash firmware KDZ G2 G3 G4 by LGUP On Youtube to the link
Remember that it is not channel advertising, it's just that I can not add external links
Steps to follow
Make sure you have the drivers installed correctly
Download The KDZ / TOT
Connect Lg g3 to pc (No need to enter download mode manually)
Unzip (LGUP-G2-G3.ZIP)
First install (LGUP_8974_DLL_Ver_0_5_CODEFIRE)
Second Install (LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3)
Enter the LGUP program that is probably hosted on your desktop
Select the Upgrade box and select the KDZ / TOT file
Wait for the process to finish (Do not disconnect the phone)
At 80% the phone will restart (not yet to be disconnected)
When you reach 100% the phone must have turned on or starting on the TMO logo
If it does not start
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ----
If it does not start
---------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -----
If it restarts constantly and does not enter the system (It restarts before reaching the optimizing application)
Turn off the phone completely and remove the battery
Wait 10 seconds. And put it back
Press Vol- and on when logo is released and press them again.
Give you everything
EYE: all files on the internal SD card will be erased
A factory reset will be made and then it must be turned on normally.
If it still does not start, remove the chip (SIMCARD)
Well that's all if you have any questions please write
Sorry if I needed something, it's just that I'm new and I do not know anything about xda
I hope you understand.
When I run LGUP it says Model is Unknown, then gives an error telling me I have to choose a known Model. Drivers are installed, USB debugging is enabled, not sure what else there is missing. Please help.
my phone: (T-Mobile lg g3 d851 30e)

sorry you had problems
the error is one of the drivers lg
you should plug it into one of the main USB ports on your PC.
or rather entering device manager and re-assign drivers to ports.
Have you downloaded the lgup for lg g3 and g2?
Drivers are installed, USB debugging is enabled, LG PC Suite OK.not sure what else there is missing.
Download : lgup-g2-g3.zip
Solve it FIX
good after I found the problem LGUP
roms apparently change the model of the device as it changes cm11 to build Cyanogenmod 11 xx
AOSP - to AOSP rom 2 etc.
the solution would be to install a stock rom clean no matter if v10 v30 etc. The important thing is not having changed the model number and manufacturer.
I hope I have helped and sorry
that includes cloudy fa's roms

Hi !
How do I do all the above ?
My PC recognize the phone without problem, but LGUp won't start unless I "select a known model"... (LGUp window shows : Model = Unknown ; COM Ports = [COM5, CloudyG3] )
Problem is that my phone is softbricked after installing a new ROM, and I can only enter download mode (not even recovery). I just want to downgrade it and reflash a LG's stock ROM (or whatever ROM that would make my phone actually work !!! )
Can you help me do that ?

LGUP "UNKNOWN" and FlashTool failure with LG G3 (and possibly others)
When I downloaded and installed LGUP with the DLL installer stated to be for the LG G3, the program did not recognise the phone, reporting it as "UNKNOWN". The LG FlashTool also failed, reporting the IMEI and PID as NULL. After spending a lot of time on this, I twigged that the DLL file in the LGUP model directory was for the 8994 processor; but the G3 has an 8974, quite different and incompatible. I located the DLL installer MSI file for 9874 devices, uninstalled LGUP and the DLLs from Windows add/remove programs, ran the 9874 DLL installer and reinstalled the LGUP program, and everything worked.
The file is, amongst other places, on https://uptoandroid.com/download-lg-up-tool-for-lg-smartphone-latest/. Do not download DLL files for LG G4, LG V10, LG G3, LG Stylo, filename LGUP_Common_DLL_Ver_1_0_28_5 .msi, but instead For LG phones based on Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MSM8974 SoC, filename LGUP_8974_DLL_Ver_0_5.msi:.

23 Aug 19: I find that I've rediscovered the wheel. Exactly what I said was posted in 2016 - if I'd found it, it would have saved me a lot of time!
I have LG G4 and I flashed (upgraded) it through LGUP from 5.1 to 6.0 a couple of days back. This is what has happened.
Before Flashing:
Hardware - LG-H815T
Android - 5.1
Software - H81510p
Baseband - MPSS.BO.2.5.c3-00072-M8992FAAAANAZM-1
Kernel - 3.10.49
Build Number - LMY47D
IMEI - 357766060879504
After Flashing:
Hardware - LG-H818
Android - 6.0
Software - V20a-OPT2-HQ
Baseband - MPSS.BO.2.5.c3-00101-M8992FAAAANAZM-1
Kernel - 3.10.84
Build Number - MRA58K
IMEI - Same
This is what the problems are:
1. The phone turns on but the screen stays black all the time. There is one way to turn on the screen and that is by removing the battery and plugging it to the usb cable and when the screen blinks for the missing battery indication, holding down the power button and inserting the battery. This way the phone turns on as if it has no issues.
2. The internal storage is showing 22gb instead of 32gb.
3. I am unable to flash (upgrade or refurbish) the phone through LG Flash Tool 2014, LGUP and LG Bridge. All softwares partially work through the process and according to my analysis give an error at the point after establishing connection with the mobile when its the time to access the internal storage for writing system files on the phone's storage.
4. I am unable to conclude the model number of the phone because before flashing it was H815T, after flashing it is H818 and when I connect it to LG Bridge, it shows the connected phone as F500K.
5. I tried to unlock the bootloader of the phone by visiting the LG Developer site and when I came down to filling in the information of the phone like IMEI and Device ID derived from the instructions outlined, it does not accept H815 as the model number against the Device ID of my phone and secondly does not list H818 and F500K in the dropdown options.
I don't know what wrong have I done in my life to end up in a situation like this???
Hello there,
To solve this you need to edit a H815 tot file(if u dont have one download here https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24723757092307739) in a Hex editor(here a portable version of HxD wich i prefer http://mh-nexus.de/downloads/HxDde.zip, just download and run).
Open .tot in HxD, then you CTRL+F for "xVLG-H815" and replace H815 or whatever your tot have along with 'xVLG' to the model your phone is being recognized as(F500K in your case).
Almost done, just save and flash in LGUP using refurbish option
