Often, when choosing a new mobile device, the consumer pays attention not only to the technical parameters, but also to the software component. From time to time, the developers of the manufacturing company release fresh versions of the firmware, which can bring new functionality, improved performance of the hardware, or a new version of the operating system. Today we will describe how to flash LG smartphones and tablets using official methods.
Smartphone update "over the air"
The easiest and fastest way to update LG is the so-called "over the air" update method, referred to as FOTA in the case of LG smartphones. Usually, notifications about the availability of a new update come when the Internet connection is turned on after the device automatically performs the appropriate analysis. When you receive such a notification, all you need to do is open the notification curtain and click on the corresponding message. You can also check it yourself by following the path Settings - About phone - Software update (in some Update Center - Software Update) - Check for update. If an update is available, a corresponding window will appear on the screen where you must click on "Install Now". It is worth paying your attention to the fact that the battery charge of the smartphone should be at least 50%, and better completely fully charged.
Update via LG Mobile Support Tool
It happens that the developer for some unknown reason has not released the next update "over the air", but the company's website has it. The program mentioned above is just for such cases. It appeared quite a long time ago and does not offer as many opportunities as more recent brothers. However, the "old lady" is still efficient and often comes to the aid of owners of LG smartphones. We connect the device to a computer with the Mobile Support Tool installed, after which the program will recognize your device and start checking for an available software update. If an update is available, then click on the "Start update" button. Confirmation requests may appear, to which we answer "Next", "Proceed", "Start" and so on, while carefully reading the displayed text on the monitor screen. At the end of the installation, the corresponding message about the end of the process and the button "Exit" or "Finish" will appear. After that, we can disconnect the mobile device from the PC and use it.
Update via LG PC Suite
PC Suite, or as it is also called PC Sync, has a richer set of interactions with smartphones from the South Korean company than the Support Tool and also allows you to update the software of an LG mobile device. We connect the device to the PC and press the "Connect" button in the upper left corner of the program window. After the device is identified, information about the phone will be displayed, including information about the installed software. You can check the availability of the latest software version by clicking on the "Check for Updates" button, or click on the "Mobile device" tab, and then on "Mobile device software update". The process of installing the update does not require any professional skills, therefore we carefully read what is written and make the necessary choice of action.
Update via LG Bridge program
Like the previous proprietary software for synchronizing smartphone data with a computer, Bridge offers almost the same set of functionality, but the distinguishing feature is the presence of the LG AirDrive application (for remote access to phone files) and a more intuitive and simple interface. This program was released last year and is mostly intended for the previous flagship device G4, however, according to information from the manufacturer, the utility can be used in conjunction with all mobile devices of 2015 and older. To install the update, you need to connect your smartphone to a personal computer, in the program go to the "Software update" tab and click on the "Software update" button. Next, follow the tips from the developers.

I was also interested in another question, it is clear that the LG Mobile Switch application can transfer data to an LG phone. But which phone? I'm talking about the manufacturer. Anyone will do or do you need the phone to be from LG too? I went to the Google Play store with this question, and there I saw the information that the main thing is that the phone is on Android. There is no mention that the old phone must necessarily be LG. So it WOULD LIKE an old phone from any manufacturer, so far I can draw the following conclusion. And yet, the old phone must have version of Android 4.1 or higher \u003d)
I read that wireless technologies can be used to transfer data. Here I think that I mean wi-fi and bluetooth. It is possible that data can be transmitted via the Internet.
Some functions may not work, it all depends on the old phone, maybe it doesn't support something there ...
I found such a picture, see:
What is written here? I'm just not boom boom in English .. In short, I don't know what is written here .. \u003d (
I also found such a picture:
Damn, I must confess that I read that there is such a transmission option as a cable. But I couldn't even think that modern smartphones can transfer data via cable, but not to a computer, but to another smart one! Honestly, I didn't know about that! That is, we shove one end of the cable into the old smart, and the other into the new one, and so you can transfer data, the guys are crazy. But I see that there should be some other special adapter here, well, see for yourself, it is drawn there where New device ..
Here is another picture, if you understand English, then everything will be clear to you here:
In this picture, a device is searched for to start data transfer:
But it seems to be looking for wai fay here ..
Well, here we put a checkmark, indicate what exactly needs to be transferred and then press NEXT:
If everything goes smoothly, then Complete will be written:
Well, that is, there are no mistakes, all okyushki. Where TOTAL is, it indicates how much data was transferred. At the end of everything, press the DONE button in the lower right corner \u003d)
I found another picture and here you can really see exactly how you can transfer data, well, that is, here the options are indicated:
As you can see, everything is almost the same as I wrote, data can be transferred via cable, via wi-fi and via an SD memory card. It seems like it's impossible via the Internet \u003d (
When you transfer data, it will be convenient to display progress as a percentage (by the way, the data is transferred to the SD card here):
Well guys, do you understand everything? I hope I was able to tell you about what LG Mobile Switch is \u003d) Good luck to you all!
