Ok first things first, you will need to download EFS to do all of the above,
find that
here and an alternative
version
here (use this one if your pc
flags the first one as a virus)
You can find firmware versions
here,
here or in the
WIKI
First, on your pc's desktop, create a new folder by right clicking in an
empty space and choose new - folder, name this LGAPP or something that you will
remember.
Now open the EFS program, but don't connect your phone yet. You will see a
large empty screen with an "explore" button on the top bar, press this.
A smaller empty box will open in the middle, click cancel on this one.
You will notice that the screen is now split into 4 sections. In the bottom
half is your Pc's files, the top half will show your phones files once we are
connected.
In the bottom left section, find your desktop where you saved the new folder
that you named before. Open the desktop folder and then open the newly named
folder, the bottom right section should be empty.
Now, put your phone into "Data mode" by going to Settings-Phone
settings-Connectivity-USB connection mode-Data mode. Return to the home screen.
Now on EFS close the first window so you are back to the empty screen with
the explore button at the top. Click "explore" again, the small empty box will
reappear.
Now when you connect your phone you will have about 3 seconds to tick the box
that appears in the top left of the small box and then hit connect in the bottom
right of the small box. If a warning appears and says something about a port,
just disconnect and reconnect your phone.
Once connected you will see your phones files in the top half of the screen.
Make sure that the bottom half is still showing the folder you named earlier.
In the top half, right click LGAPP and click
re-name, LGAPP(text) should turn blue. Now type TOTO
and click in an empty space until it is no longer blue
Right click TOTO and choose refresh. This enables you
to copy the protected files in your phone
DO NOT RENAME TO SOMETHING BLANK!!
Your phone will disconnect
itself
You
will get a yellow screen don't panic, just reconnect
You
will notice that a "ghost" LGAPP folder has appeared, ignore
it
Now right click on TOTO and choose "read", after a few seconds your files
will start to copy to your pc, this will take about 40 minutes, so sit back, go
watch tv or something just don't turn off your pc or your phone, in fact, don't
touch either.
Once this has finished you will have a copy of your own firmware backed up.
Save this at all costs, put it on a memory stick or something.
In the top left section scroll all the way to the top and click the folder
with no name (very top one) you should now see TOTO again in the top right
section.
Right click on TOTO and rename back to LGAPP, then
right click and refresh again.
Now click on "Disconnect" on the middle bar and choose
"yes" from the pop-up. Your phone will now reboot. Thats it your
done.
