Download and install official LG Mobile Support Tool from LG Site
http://tool.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/client/app/B2CAppSetup.exe

Upgrade Recovery Method 1

1. Open your LG Mobile Support Tool
2. Connect phone to PC with USB Cable
3. Let the Support Tool discover your device
4. Let it connect to your device
5. Up top where it says "Options" click this and then click Upgrade Recovery
6. If it asks for it Input your IMEI from your phone or box into the S/N box and then click "check"

A box will pop up confirming your info. If all goes well a new window will pop up about downloading software. The file is about 800MB. Let it run it's course and you should be back up and running. This method recovers not just your firmware but also restores and leaves everything else in tact, however it will UnRoot your phone regardless of what was recovered.

Unbricking/Unrooting Method 2 (Alternative Method for Rooted Phones) If above option doesn't work.

1. Open your LG Mobile Support Tool
2. Open Root Explorer or another browser granted with SuperUser access
3. Go into System/ directory and mount it as R/W
4. Delete the build.prop file
5. Restart phone and wait for it to go to the black screen after LG logo
6. Leave the phone powered on and hook it to your PC via USB Cable
7. Let it discover your device
8. Let it connect to your device

It will search for an update and tell you it has found the "I" firmware.

9. Click Upgrade and let it do its thing.

If all goes well a new window will pop up about downloading software. The file is about 800MB. Let it run it's course and you should be back up and running with a factory fresh phone.

So I am putting this out to the F6 world, maybe this lil saving grace will help you feel a lil more comfortable in modding or playing with your phone, maybe even rooting it and getting your hands dirty.


Addendum:

I came across these today after posting these methods I discovered. For those who use recovery to flash your roms.

Hello,

I have a brick after updating to the latest OTA update and the LG Support program does not recognize the phone even after installing the drivers.

I can load into recovery but all options reboot the phone back into recovery.

After entering serial numbers the program says that the phone was disconnected and does not complete the process.

Please help if you have advice and suggestions.

okay, im on 12b, im trying to get root. ive tried the Trevor & GameTheory methods and i just cannot figure this out. i am by no means an Android expert but a have successfully rooted multiple phones (including my wifes f6 but that is still on 10i). i am wondering if anyone can do a guide (or link me to one) for going back to 10i with the kdz method or any method for that matter. i have tried looking everywhere before asking this (im not trying to waste anybodys time by requesting duplicated info) but the only guides i can find are for older LG's (optimus 2x etc.)

any help will be greatly appreciated
