I have seen some of the other variants of the LG G4 use the LG Bridge. Anybody try this? I tried with no success in getting my phone recognized. I love the Samsung Smart Switch that backups everything including apps. Makes things easier when I root and mess with my phone.
I tried to use it too with no avail...
I think we could use the old LG PC SUITE to backup.

Yeah PC SUITE won't work either....Sprint removed support within the software on the phone in order for it to work with LG Bridge. I use a memory card for my backups.

I want to uninstall CWM. That means reflashing it with stock, right? I found the thread at modaco forum but problem is the link is dead. I want to uninstall CWM because it seems that it interferes with updating from LG mobile suite.
Please help.. thanks.

link works fine here
Just did that yesterday. Now running 2.2 froyo and its perfect.

afterward, if i want to restore all the apps and settings, after i nvflash my phone, i use titanium to restore?
Also, i read somewhere about system apps and user apps. If i restore system apps, my phone will have erratic behaviour? That means, i can only backup user apps?
Sorry for many questions. Still getting the hang of it.

Really? Did you use LG mobile update? I tried to update using LG mobile update and it said there was an update available but when i tried to update my phone it said mine was different version. I assume it was because i installed CWM. That means, we can still update the firmware without removing CWM?
thanks
Hi Forum!
So I rooted my optimus 2x, backed up and removed the f-secure and car home (uninstalled), but now there's a S/W update up? LGP990-V10c afaik.
Is it safe to update through PC? Read about about some people bricking their phones, and I'm still all-new to this whole android thing!
Appreciate the help
Kind Regards

Relax just update is ok!

Then after the update, all you need to to is re-root, re-remove your chosen bloatware, and re-enjoy you phone.
It's asking me to do a security backup, should I do this? Something like that

If it's F-Secure asking to do that, just ignore it.. You're gonna remove it anyway
But do the regular backup, contacts, memo, things like that, before you update
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Can you please, confirm that update went ok for you?
Same scenario. The update worked great for me. (It didn't even wipe my phone data, but it's always a good idea to backup. Just in case anything goes wrong.)
When I use LG Update Service, it told me if I wanted to make a security backup or something along those lines?

It's just asking you to backup your contacts/notes/calendar etc. I didn't do that anymore. Just went through the update without backing up since I already have a nandroid.

What is a Nandroid? Is it something I should get (not need, but would be smart to get), if so any guides around or such?
Appreciate it Sorry for the newbie questions, just don't want anything to go wrong!
a nandroid backup is a backup image created with clockworkmod recovery, aka cwm. cwm is a minimalistic recovery os you can install it on your phone alongside the rom you are using
I think Smartflash is the way to go. You can find a stock image at modaco. Boot into APX mode and flash away!
Help with rooting 2.3.5
Using megatron root I have followed several different threads to a tee. un-installed all drivers and restarting laptop .updated drivers to most recent tried several different drivers even p920, tried to fully reset the phone through stock 3e recovery full wiped everything. Still getting ADB not recognized as internal or external command. Tried two different downloads of Megatron root. Ive even tried Superoneclick several different versions. I think still the driver is the issue anyone have the drivers that they used? Thanks community for all help
BTW i have searched thoroughly to no avail.

Uninstall all LG drivers plug it into the comp and run the LG update tool and it will se you have no LG drivers. It will give you the option to do them clikk that now you have them. If this doesn't work then go to LG website and search for them there. That's where I got mine.

Did you try to factory reset the phone and root it using megatron or superoneclick?
I had the same issue. Nothing i tried would root. I finally gave up, flashed the v21a kdz, and then gained root on first try. Something about the v20p wouldn't allow me to root. Have you tried flashing another baseband?

As the title states, I rooted my revolution, but I can no longer access it via lgpnst or anything that uses adb, so I'm stuck. I have been trying to find something to update to v8 or v9 using clockworkmod (4.0.0.2), but it appears that everything being suggested requires me to have access with adb. No matter what I try, attempts to access through adb result in "device not found", or "waiting for device".
I did try a factory reset, which got me stuck in a clockworkmod reboot loop, when I used exitrecovery to fix that. If there is any sort of update or fix to be applied from clockworkmod, that would be great. At this point, I just want to get away from this ridiculous forced download and reboot process that just makes this device harder to use.
Any suggestions?
Flash a TOT with LGPNST, either ZV8 or ZV9, and you will be golden.

This is the hurdle.
Oops. My bad. Missed that and focused on the mentions of ADB.
Edit: Have you tried different cables, computers, operating systems (XP for instance), or drivers? Also, make sure there are no other instances of adb on the computer. I have read that can cause problems too.

You mean the OTA update? That can be disabled either by Titanium or a root explorer.
Sent from my VS910 4G using Tapatalk 2
I have tried all of the drivers I could find, and all of the different cables sitting around my place with no success. Right now, I don't have access to xp at home, but now I'm thinking there might be something to do with the system I've been using at home (which also runs windows 7 x64). When plugging my phone into my work computer (which runs xp), I got a usb modem prompt. There may be hope if I use a virtual machine at home.
I haven't looked into the titanium backup or root explorer, so that will happen this evening. Thanks for the suggestion.
Score! Thanks for getting me to think about the system again. I removed all of the drivers, created another administrator user account, and then logged into it and connected the phone... poof! I was prompted! I installed the drivers, and then it appeared in lgnpst! A short couple of uploads, and I'm there.
Awesome. Glad you got it going!

Basically I've screwed over my phone.
It WILL boot. However I can't get it to go into USB mode.
I'm on Android 2.3.5 and I have this rom installed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779290
When I try to flash from a backup, it fails flashing system and renders my phone a brick until I reinstall the above ROM
I've also tried going into download mode so I can use the official LG updater to flash it back completely stock. However I can't seem to get that working.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

First you are posting in the wrong section.
Second, what baseband do you have installed. I am running on a Froyo baseband and can't run thrillseeker due to the baseband requiring the GB baseband. You can probably return to stock by using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491870
From what I am reading, the LG Updater sometimes will fail but you just have to continue using it.
Good luck with your issue. I am planning to do the same to my nephews phone later today. If i can figure something out I will post back.
I think its V20P which is Gingerbread. I know when I last updated it I used the official updating tool and grabbed it from their server. But again I'm on Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread. Will those update.zip files work?

Yea it charges but that's it.
Luckily I have SwiFTP installed on my phone so I can still transfer things back and fourth between my phone and PC over my home network via FTP. Just much, MUCH slower.
EDIT: I just realized why this was in the wrong section. I TOTALLY thought I was posting in the general forum. Sorry. *derp*
Bump
First thing uninstall LG PC drivers then reboot PC and reinstall them. Or try to connect to a different PC to make sure it is not PC related. If that doesn't work then try wiping caches and instsall a different kernel. If that doesn't work I would then try full data wipe and reinstall rom of choice. You might try different rom as once its fixed you can always flash back...hope this helps you.

Well I believe I've figured out what the problem was.
You see the other day while I was charging the phone I accidentally knocked it off. The USB cable got caught on my alarm clock and caught the phone, so the phone was hanging by the USB cable.
Well today I looked at the connector on it and I noticed it was bent a little. So I bent it back up and heard a small *click*
I was afraid I had broke it completely inside. However when I plugged it in my computer recognized my phone and USB mode showed up.
