Many people
don’t even know where to find drivers for their phone now a day. So, keep this
in mind, LG company made it easy for everyone to update their smartphones with
a single tool called “LG Mobile Support Tool”. This tool can be used to update
the phone with the newest firmware that LG could have for this phone.
This tool
doesn’t support the oldest versions of phones like LG Optimus V ads S because those
phones are no longer supported by the LG company and there is nothing present
on their servers.
* Important:
The
important thing before you checked for the firmware update of your phone, if
you’ve change your phone’s IMEI/MEID/ESN on the phone to another phone that is
not the same model, it will say:
1)There are
no updates available, even if there are.
2) Download
the wrong firmware and possibly give you the soft brick.
You can
Download the tool from this link:
Here is how
to get drivers:
Step 1: Open
the program.
Step 2:
Connect your phone using the USB cable.
Step 3: On
the computer select Start > Programs > LG mobile support tool to launch
the LG mobile support tool.
Step4: Click
start updating in the LG mobile support tool to begin the software update.
Note: If this option is not available your
phone is still up to date.
Warning:
Never ever
try to unplug your phone when it is updating, and don’t try to use
untrustworthy USB cable also don’t use the USB hub/splitter.
If you are
on different Operating System than what your phone is supposed to run than your
phone starts boot looping (i.e. stock is froyo, custom ROM is gingerbread), you
will have to perform a hard reset using the hard key combo.
In this case
refer to your User Manual that is downloaded from the LG mobile support tool.
You will lose all info if you done this, but it only applies to phones that
have a custom ROM.
