hi..
ReplyDeletecan i use your method to upgrade jelly bean for my LG p895 optimus Vu ? currently android 4.0
Actually this tutorial is for LG F100. I don't think it will work with P895.
DeleteAnd if you have F100, this will work regardless of android version you are currently on.
Hi, I noticed that the links to the Fw 4.1.2 is dead for f100s >< . I just purchased a LG Vu today....
DeleteHi, Anonymous. Thanks for the feedback. I'm now finding an offline KDZ file to download. Anyway, if you're in a rush, you can install the official Jellybean for F100S using the LG official method. The rooting works with official jellybean fw.
DeleteStay tune.
Hi Anonymous, I wrote an article on how to find and download LG ROM file. The dead link is now replaced with this article.

DeleteCan I get your custom ROM for my f100l for testing?
DeleteI can't download this ROM http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WDLSW/LGF100L/ALGTBK/F100L40b_00/F100L40b_00.kdz alredy opened only as text in my browser.
ReplyDeleteTry Right-click on link then "Save Target"
ReplyDeleteOh!I'm stupid!I tried to save the firmware file to my phone memory,because I was not at home and did not have acces to my computer.Coud you recommend me a good programm for installing Linux at phone.At my home computer I use SUSE Linux 9.3 Professional.Thank you.
DeleteWhy is that F100L has only 80 characters capacity in sms? How can i increase that?
ReplyDeleteIt's unicode fonts limitation found because LGF100L is a Korean version, so the default font is Korea. Anyway, there's a workaround for this, but I dont recommend it since it's not official. If you still want it, check the first source Tinhté for link in the "Source" section of this tutorial.
DeleteThanks vann. I just downloaded a messaging app from google store.
DeleteHi don, happy to hear u found the solution. Enjoy!
DeleteEvery time i download the root pack and unzip it then try it to run, this is what it always says : ! Cannot execute "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp\Rar$EX08.582\LG_Root_Pack.exe"
ReplyDeletePlease help. Tell me what to do.
Hi, Ely!
DeleteTry disable your PC anti-virus temporarily when rooting your device. After rooting is done, don't forget to enable it again.
why i cannot open the LG root pack..tel me how i already unzipped the file
ReplyDeleteit always says that this app can't run on your pc
ReplyDeletedine, you should disable your antivirus before rooting your phone. You can turn it back on after you successfully root your phone.
Deletehow will i know if successfully rooted my phone
Deleteafter rooting i cannot access my data conections and i cant acces google play..help..
ReplyDeleteI haven't experienced this. Try restarting and reset your phone setting.
DeleteHi,Vann!Can I remove U+ software?I don't need it,because I live in Ukraine,and I don't understand Korean language.Excuse me for my terrible English,please.
ReplyDeleteHi, Volodymyr!
DeleteSorry for the late reply cuz my internet was down for days.
You can remove it but I don't recommend this since it's for those who know android better.
So, if you're willing to take the risk, download "Titanium Backup" from play store. Then open this app, so you uninstall any built-in app that you don't need. Oh, don't forget to backup the app first before uninstall, so if anything happens, you can return to where you were.
Cheer!
Hi Van, me again, just want to ask if its possible to activate 4G/LTE on my LG F-100s phone? It's available here in our country (Philippines) How? And my Sim ToolKit is missing. Please help me.
ReplyDeleteP.S.
Thank you. I finally Rooted my LG phone. Kudos.
Hi Ely! My LG F100L phone is able to use LTE. I jus have to turn it on in phone setting. I don't know about network carriers in the Philippines. You'd better ask your carrier customer care on how to activate LTE.
DeleteAnd glad you've got your rooted phone :)
Great job man i got rooted my F100L in Pakistan
ReplyDeleteThank you! I have been successful in rooting my LG F100L. Are you a Cambodian ? And have you ever studied in Vietnam ? You know tinhte website and you can read the infomation on that.

Van, can i use a MHL cable to my LG F-100L and use it on our TV? Is it possible? Can it support it?
ReplyDeletehmmm.. Sorry Ely, I don't know about it.
DeleteMHL is like HDMI cable. It enables tablets/phones to be connected to an external monitor. I want to know if it's compatible to our handset.

DeleteIt's the cable that im talking about.

DeleteI have an LG F100L.thanks
DeleteHi Anonymous, sorry for late reply. The LG Driver link is already there on this blog. And if you are asked for B2C App, please follow the alternative method. It's at the bottom of tutorial. Thanks
DeleteThanks Vann for your response!
DeleteOn the "Alternative to Upgrade Jellybean" procedure,the first step is "Install USB drivers",are you referring to LG Driver?install LG Driver?
On the 3rd step," Open B2CAppSetup.exe and let it run for a moment until you see a new windows that has "Install Driver". Don't click it.", I cant find the B2CAppSetup.exe when i extracted the Flashtool.1.0.54.rar,what only extracted are:

Hi Vann!When I click on b2cappsetup.exe and run as admin,it was installing for seconds and it was gone,tried to do that multiple times and it still doing the same thing,i even turn off my antivirus to check it is causing it but still the same.When I open the UpTestEX,it is still asking for b2c app,that means its still not installed,what do you causing it?How can i resolve it?
DeleteDo you have a working internet connection on your PC?
Deletesorry let me rephrase the last two sentence,what do you think causing it?How can i resolve it?
DeleteJust to make sure you have an active internet connection on your PC while installing B2C App. You already disabled your antivirus, but how about firewall? Allow B2C App to go through firewall.
DeleteAnd install it
Yes,I have.I'm using it right now.
DeleteYou mean B2C app is working now?
DeleteI have an active internet connection,antivirus and firewall are turned off.I tried to install it again and same thing happened,Im still getiing same message...
DeleteWell, it's kind of weird.
DeleteAnyway, uninstall everything from LG, everything LG from your PC. Then, start over.
I've done it and it still the same.I'll do this using different computer,i think it has something to do with my computer...Anyway .,Thanks Vann!
