Root How to Unbrick L45C

[sammyz]

Ok so you bricked your phone somehow and you need it ASAP!
Just follow this. Skip to step 3 if you have installed drivers already before.

Step 1: Get drivers here and install them
LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN37AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.7.2.exe

Step 2: Reboot

Step 3: Make sure phone has at least 50% battery

Step 4: Get firmware here

Step 5: Download this and extract
KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.zip

Step 6: Put phone in emergency mode

To put the LGL45C into download/emergency mode:
1. With the phone powered off you hold Volume Down and Back at the same time.
2. While holding the keys insert a USB cable plugged into a PC or charger, in a couple of seconds the the screen should say emergency mode at the bottom.

Hope this helps!

Step 7: Follow these steps in order (This is from the extracted "KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.zip" ZIP)

1. Install msxml.msi
2. Disable antivirus software
3. Open UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe
4. Wait for the program to open
5. Look for "Encrypt cab file to kdz file"
6. Click the folder icon
7. Choose the location of the cab you downloaded for L45C firmware
8. Encrypt cab -> kdz Program will freeze up. DO NOT EXIT until program says Done!!! Otherwise it won't finish converting.
9. Close program
10. Open KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
11. "Type" choose CDMA
12. Choose in "Phonemode": Emergency
13. Click the folder icon and choose the kdz file that UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe just made.
14. Click Launch software update and enjoy!

This is a load off my troubled mind! I've been working on some roms for this phone and dreaded the possibility of bricking. You may have just saved my future sanity.

[sammyz]

Is this phone GSM or CDMA?

 

[Zombie591]

Is this phone GSM or CDMA?

CDMA. LG l45c.

 

[Zombie591]

CDMA. LG l45c.

It has no recovery, nothing. I didn't know much about anything when I rooted it. I've learned a lot since then though and recently decided to com back and try to get this one working again.

You mean, stock recovery is blank??

 

[Zombie591]

You mean, stock recovery is blank??

Yeah, basically.

 

[sammyz]

Yeah, basically.

That's weird.
What's weirder is my laptop randomly stopped booting so now I have no PC till I can get windows repair to work or reinstall windows 7 so I can't find an alternative for you guys at the moment, will find one though

Does the KDZ program give you errors???

 

[Zombie591]

All I got was the one previously posted.

 

[sammyz]

All I got was the one previously posted.

Maybe it didn't download correctly???
It's supposed to be 95.6MBs, both the cab and the KDZ.
