little help plz. I download the last brazilian firmware but the extension is .dz. The kdz updater just read extension .kdz here. I try to change the extension but i got a extract file error in kdz.

srry for my bad english :eek:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Infectado:
Any help?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] profyler:
the extension of the file should be KDZ, not kz.

If its not so, than the file got corrupted. Download the firmware from here:

@profyler, you didn't payed atention... ai ai ...

He download a .dz file, the compressed file in .kdz :o

Doesn't mean that is corrupted :angel:

I didnt even knew that this was a compressed file.... :eek:

how to uncompress ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ircalf:
There's no need to manually uncompress, the update program will do that before flashing (if that's what you meant)

I just updated from brazilian V10B to V10C and tried to keep root using 'ota rootkeeper', but it didn't work (worth noting anyway)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] issak:
hi

Ruedas for flashing .dz file i should rename .dz to .kdz?

pls help me
[LG Optimus 4X HD] muellersmattes:
No, that won't work. Get a new one (.kdz) from lg-phone-firmware.com.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Brazilian V10C is unrootable (as far as I know...)

If you don't have problems with heat, camera or other, I advice to use V10B.

You'll be able to root and uninstall or freeze unwanted stock apps, and install others that requires root.

Its up to you :good:

you need to download the .kdz that you want... the rest is on the tutorial.

10G is better ? I am thinking about use that version and root... Maybe the battery get better.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] douardda:
please fix the tutorial

Hi,

Thanks for sharing this, but as already stated above, one should note that you must put the battery back on the phone before starting the upgrade process, ie. after step 5.

The tutorial should be fixed.

I had my phone frozen with black and white lines on the whole screen till I've try the upgrade again with the battery on.

I guess the power drained from the USB port is not enough at some time of the process and make the phone crash somehow.

However, I've got my phone with a european v10f fw now! (too sad I've been obliged to boot under Windows for this. First time my Windows partition is useful for something :) Rooting can be done OK under Linux. BTW, the fw upgrade cancel the root of the phone. Not a big deal, can be rooted again without any pb on v10f.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] profyler:
I agree. I didnt have the same problem you had because i`ve read that in the other pages people saying that the batt should be put on the phone after step five, buy yeah, it should be updated
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mrwaner11:

[LG Optimus 4X HD] profyler:

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------

I did. On the phone is now 10g. It's not rooted now. All apps and data that I had have remained...how?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Cause you didn't perform the factory reset before upgrade... :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mali_veseljak:
I perform after :)

Did I do wrong?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] profyler:
no. factory reset is recomended but not mandatory.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] flickyamom:
Can't detect phone

When I tried launching the update for v10h, the program keep saying that no device is connected. My phone was obviously connected in S/W upgrade mode so I don't know what to do. Any help?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Wait a little before hit the start upgrade button.

Its better if you connect your phone and only after you run the program.

It will give time for the windows detect the phone.

Make sure you follow all the settings hints from the tutorial.

BTW, the connection need to be done WITHOUT battery!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] LGftw:
okay... I just updated my phone to v10f and now the update for v10g and v10h have come out. And I want to ask, does the file from this thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1991284 ) both for the v10g and the v10h is the '"fix" version or still the beta version ? Sorry for the newbie question.. wait I am a noob haha-,-

And we still have to do the same process for updating it right (the tutorial above)? Except for the diffrent use of the kdz file :)

Thank you!!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
V10h is official and final, not beta!

Remember, before upgrade do a factory reset, upgrade, root, and factory reset again.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] LGftw:
waitt... So, I have to do a factory reset (hard reset?) at the start and end of my updating session ?? Sorry but this is my first time of doing stuff like flashing and updating manually-_-

And so I have to perform a factory reset each time I update my phone ? I've updated my phone to v10f now and eveything went very smooth and nice, but I haven't do the factory reset at the end of the update.. So is it necessary ? Sorry for the newbie question anyway :)

And last, so if I want to get the latest update version I'll just go with the v10h directly ? not necessary to update with the v10g first ?

---------- Post added at 01:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 PM ----------

And by doing a factory reset via pushing the down volume and lock button together after shutting the phone down?, does that mean I will lose all my data (my games, apps, etc) ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
The last factory reset is because of "root" files, to erase the install files.

You can update directly to v10h, theres no need to install v10g.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] LGftw:
Thanks! But if i don't want to root my phone, is it still necessary to factory reset the phone ? And also if I did the factory reset, will I lose all my data (games, apps, etc) ?

There's also another important thing that I would like to ask. Well, I've been having a pretty heat issue with my 4X and it is not like because I intensly play heavy games for a long session or something like that, it's true that I played but only for like 20 minutes and its not even a "superb" game like the nfs, deathdome. I only play games such as ski safari and granny smith and the temperature will just go up to 36 - 39!!! degrees celcius. And I've been doing a search in the forum.and even making a thread about it, and the solution I get was to update it to v10f. But even after I update my phone the issue still occuring :| is there any other solution that I could use ?? :|

Thanks again!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dfreake:
i got working update to 10h with inserting the battery to the phone while flashing thanks to the person with the inserting battery while update
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
About factory reset...

A lot of people have problems with that. People don't like to re-install all the apps they have, backup pictures, music, etc... but, is the best way

to have a clean install.

If you don't want to root (I think you should...) you should do the factory reset before upgrade, after you don't need to. If you don't want to do

the factory reset the phone will work as, hummm... "well"...

About heat...

I don't have problems with that, I uninstall and frost a few stock apps. Maybe because of that. Can't help you, sorry...

[LG Optimus 4X HD] igorstoja83:
Is this method requires rooted phone or no?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
This is to upgrade the FW, after you can root it or not, its up to you.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] igorstoja83:
Ok,thanx my friend.But I'm afraid I'll screw up something i whant v10f euro open.I'm on v10h now and its bad battery on this version.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
I have v10h and no problems...

Did you turned OFF apps notifications (like facebook, weather widgets/app, messenger, others like that...)?

If data is ON, did you restrict access to the unneeded apps?

You have wi-fi turned OFF while asleep?

Turned OFF the "share location" in browser and other apps that require that?

You need to think what every app is able to do and restrict only to the necessary, otherwise, an app can use resources from other apps or services that will drain your battery...

Animated wallpapers drain more than simple ones, aftermark launchers too...

All of you need to choose what you want, battery or a fancy phone with a lot of shining things, moving and with this effect or another effect...

Its like a computer, visual effects use a lot of battery, the processor need to do more things, get warmer, etc... the same with apps.

No one knows better your phone the your selfs. Its hard to say from where the problem is, what app... I can tell you that is the app "X",

but my solution doesn't works cause you have 2, 3 or more apps that I have no idea... or some app that no matter what, will drain your battery

cause is the way it works...

When I bought the phone I needed to re-charge every two hours but, I didn't leave the phone alone for more than half an hour... I think its normal.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] igorstoja83:
Yes, I did everything you said but something is strange.My android system always drain battery even 75% thats no normal i think.my brightness is on 30% and I did a lot of things to safe battery life and same again,and in settings in data transfer on wifi i see my android system is download 707 mb without my permission :eek: I'll have to look a little deeper.Very ,very big thanx for extensive answer.Greetins :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Arne_B:
And you have 'Restrict background data' enabled?

This tutorial works with P880 and 10H Open Euro

After step 5 reinsert the batery before step 6.

a phone reset has fixed the problem.

Any issues with Wind Mobile V10C?

Hey guys, I am looking to upgrade to the V10H. I've read the process, but before I go ahead with it, I would like to ask if there are any known issues with the Wind Mobile version V10C to V10H? I read in an earlier post about someone's concern with changes to the radio setting that could possibly affect me as Wind operates on the 1700 band here. I don't really know if that is even possible, but a reply confirming either way would be much appreciated. Thanks.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Marcb:
I'm on the same boat...

Always thought Odin was way better than this method... it seems to be un-official and unsecure...

Question: If I change the firmware of my phone, for example, from 10a Brazil to 10h Euro Open, will I be getting OTAs automattically from Euro firmwares? As if it were an Euro phone all along?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Its not official but its secure.

You won't get updates or notifications OTA.

Instead of being "shooting in the dark" you should explore a little more the LG Optimus 4X HD forum.

Its a mess, I know, but have a lot of info. More than in any other forum.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Marcb:
Ok... but why not? Will it not be a fresh clean install of the firmware?

thanks!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
The install is clean, more or less depending how its made.

Looks like the OS detection in OTA is related with some hardware ID.

Like IMEI or mac...

Probably, once the installed FW version is not released to that specific phone, it might have some conflict that makes impossible the update.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] vrmanzacky:
i want to install 10H, need to backup all my files or not ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Its always good to have a backup, unless you have your files in the external SD.

If the flash goes wrong for some reason and you need to do a factory reset, or if you loose root and need to do it again, you have your backup and no reason to worry about.

There is more info in here because there are much more people who made mistakes because of the incorrect tutorial. If they use the other one, there will be much less question like "my phone is not recognizeing", "i have a grainy screen"...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] babymatteo:
The fact and the matter is that you don't have the rights to tell anyone what to do or where they want to search for answers.

Actually, the fact that some people actually needs pictures to follow a specific set of directions is funny....but nonethless helpful for someone who is deslexic... i guess.

Besides, this thread actually has more info because it contains other people's mistakes during the process of updating their phones. So it helps others not to make the same mistakes. All it really takes is a moment to read the guide carefully and as thoroughly as possible.

Who the hell are you now to tell what is right and not? This is a forum and people are here to help and express yourself, and you put it in a way that I demanded people to use the other one, and like i said; I shouted on my post for peolple to use the other tutorial because it was a complete one, if someone still want to use this one, he obviously can anytime he wants, dude. I dint said "THIS TUTORIAL IS NOW FORBIDDEN FOR USE". Its a recomendation, not a obligation.

Thats your opinion. There are a lot of noobs and people who prefer to have pictures showing what he needs to do, in a easy way.

Agree in part, but as i mentioned, we wont have to answer the same thing again if a better tutorial is used instead, and less people will have problems.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] jphillip:
I'm experiencing the exact same problem. I also have the Wind Mobile edition with v10C.

The update freezes at "3GQCT : wParam = 2010, lParam = 4". I've let it sit for about 60 minutes at one point with no joy. I've tried the v10H and v10G KDZs. This is on Win7 64-bit.

Edit: I just tried flashing v10C as an experiment, and it went further, but it still freezes up eventually. Interestingly, it too froze on a "wParam = 2010" line (the first one in the log, about 100 lines in).

Another difference here is that the phone's screen is a pattern of thin, vertical lines in black and white (with the other ROMs, the phone never left the "System Update" screen).

Edit 2: This is whack. I performed the procedure on my home computer, using the v10C ROM, and it worked perfectly. So maybe it's the computer (this is Win7 32-bit), or perhaps the difference this time is that I kept the battery out until right after clicking "Launch software update" at which point I stuck it back in.

Also interesting? Nowhere in the log is there any mention of "wParam = 2010".

Anyways, tomorrow I'll try v10H again, but for now I'll just enjoy my working phone...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Try to downgrade first to v10a, do a factory reset, after upgrade to v10h.

Un-isntall all drivers and re-install them. http://www.4shared.com/file/rPpP2btT/LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN3.html

Don't forget about "Windows Enabler", needs to be ON.

When you see the notification of installing drivers after you connect the phone, click on it, if the install windows shows the progress, wait untill all the devices be correctly installed. Only after that is safe to go on with the flash.

Good luck.

We have that methode too, and I use to advice it when needed...

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Marcb:
No need to be rude as I wasn't to anybody here...

I read A LOT and that's why I keep finding these other methods in other websites...

I'll take a look at your video then post my impressions here later...

EDIT: Ok, just saw the entire video...

At first you used the "usual" process, but when you used "NORMAL WEB UPGRADE TEST" it just opened your LG Support Tool and downloaded the latest firmware... so it just worked as a "link" to the LG software...

If you can, run that again but downgrading from v10F to v10D, and using the LG Support Tool to flash... Let's see what happens...

There are also methods that creat a fake server to fool the LG software and point to a specific file in you hard drive, so it will flash whatever KDZ you want... I'll try to find that...

EDIT 2: Found it... http://p92x.acidhazardrom.com/guides/lg_flash_tool.html

It seem to fool LG Support Tool and point to the KDZ in your hard drive... and probably has the most "clean" process of all...

EDIT 3: Just did the flash with this method... it actually uses LG Support Tool to flash the FW... a lot more reliable, no log errors, nothing... didn't even have to disable LG Modem...just like updating officialy.

I recommend this to everybody... it doesn't wipe the phone...
