Just run the exe file to open the toolkit. First, if NVFlash drivers are not installed, select that option (I) to install the driver.
Then, select the option which you want. Each option's detailed description (what it does) is explained here in the first post. Read it completely and you should be able to use the toolkit.
If you are still having doubts, tell us, what do you wish to do exactly with the toolkit? Flash a new bootloader? Change partition size? Flash recovery?
Hi, i have a stock P990 upgraded to GB v20e. for some magical reason, LG does not want/allow me to upgrade to ICS.
I just want to upgrade to ICS and i dont quite understand why i should NVflash first?
could someone please point me on which post# or link how to use this tool?
currently downloading it and hoping that it isnt that hard.
could i simply go #6 from the tool? or do i need to though each steps?

Hello! Just tell if You please where are You from, I mean in what country you are using the phone, maybe your actual installed release is not the latest GB version in your country. In Italy last GB is v20s. What does the LG utility tells you?

Philippines v20e, it was the latest at that time and I never bothered to update to the latest GB version again.
Just found out that LG Blocks upgrades to ICS if you have an older OS version.
I called customer service and they recommend sending my phone to the service center to upgrade it to ICS (pay fee if not under warranty).
btw, i downloaded the tool from the above link, i went straight to option #6 - updated to ICS using the stock KDZ files.
----the option to the change recovery using nzflash didnt work, cannot detect usb devices. went straight to #6 and didnt bother the other options. i have no idea what other options does or their purpose.

Most features in this tool requires a rooted phone. If all you want is to update your stock ROM, you don't need to flash a recovery (and you won't be able to either if your phone is not rooted).
Using nvflash, you have to unplug your phone between operations. Only one nvflash operation can be performed at a time.

Not true. You can nvflash a recovery without your phone being rooted.

I think of you dont understand the Manual or the Simplicity of this Tool you should not use it anyway. some basic skills in Android are needed. I may sound harsch but thats what it is. If you dont understand than maybe you brick your Phone and then its the developer to blame... Seen this tons of times... sadly. :crying:

First and most important thing is to do Factory Reset via Hidden Menu 3845#*970#. This will un-root your phone and clear all data. Then do a firmware upgrade and after that again Factory Reset. This is the safest method.

The factory reset doesn't un-root the phone. The "called" root moves both superuser.apk and su binary to the respective folders so if you do a factory reset they will not be deleted.. To un-root you need to do it with the application you used to root the phone or flash firmware.
Hey guys, do not flash the OTA update manually with CWM, it bricked my tab an will most likely brick yours too.
Make sure your tab is stock 3.0.1 and wait patiently.

Just wondering if anyone has had any success in unbricking their tab yet. I was reading through old forum posts and there was a thread where fricorico had flashed a transformer rom and couldn't load fastboot or download mode. He said that he managed to get his tab into apx mode and could then eventually get the tab back up and running.
I can't post a link because I'm on the xda app but our forum isn't too big to find it and try. Also, not sure what or how to get into apx mode though so this post may be literally useless to most people. But maybe someone knowledgeable will remember something as a result.

May I just connect to LG update Tool and do so?
Or is it a better way?

Well you definitely didn't follow the CM10 installation instructions "step by step" since they say NOT to do this in bold red text.
Your 2 options are to send it for a motherboard replacement, or repartition and bypass the damaged sectors which means you'll lose 3 or so gb of rom space. Follow instructions to the letter at all times, short cuts invariably lead to total bricks especially when dealing with ics.

The UNROOT
If you wanna unroot your device, why so ever, the easiest way is to use Unlock Root (Link above) open it, connect your phone via USB, enable Debugging Mode and click unroot. If you wanna unroot it, e.g. to be able to send it back to LG on warranty, better use the method below, to unbrick your device with R&D tool.
Because like this, you will get back an unrooted device, which has also been hardresetted. So LG will hardly/never get a clue, that it has ever been rooted.
Dont forget to format your SD card as well

That's from my how to, but I think I should correct this. Use Smartflashtool and flash the latest version available for you. Do a factory reset from within settings menu and everything should be fine
