Unzip the KDZ folder to the root of the system drive. Place the firmware next to it.

In KDZ, you need to find and install the msxml.msi package using the standard method.

Now we transfer the phone to the firmware mode. To do this, turn off the device completely or distort the battery. If it is not removable, hold down the shutdown button and hold it until the screen turns off and the device vibrates twice.

Hold BOTH the volume buttons and the power button. A few seconds later, a yellow image with a caption will appear. Emergency Mode.

The KDZ start screen looks like this. Set the correct circled values.

Now you need to select the firmware itself using this button.

Click Launch Software Update and wait. The utility may freeze, the process sometimes takes more than half an hour. Better not to touch anything. Then progress bars will run across the screen, and you will see the cherished message about the end of the FINISHED firmware. KDZ is sometimes unstable. In our case, she flew out immediately after the completion of the procedure. Because of this, the picture is different.

The phone will reboot itself and start charging. Disconnect it from the cable, distort the battery and turn it on by holding the power button. If the device does not work, try again to enter it in Emergency Mode and flash it 2-3 more times. Sometimes the LG Mobile Support Tool also helps to restore the work.
