hi
-install standard LG_PCSuiteIV (apps and drivers)
-connect BL40 and make backup own files
-download this pack http://rapidshare.com/files/430212508/LGUtils.rar
-unpack it on drive c:
-open it and install ‘setup’ (infineon drivers)
- install ‘B2CAppSetup’
- connect your mob (in pc suite)
- close pc suite
- open KP500-Utils-EN (on drive c:)
- in new opened window choose ‘I’
- write your mob model [bl40]
- choose firmware file (if you down it and placed on c: [example:c:\V10G_00.kdz]
- write again filename without extension kdz [eg. V10G_00]
- now you may drink some coffee and waiting till end
- after ~5 min you have new firmware
- now you may backup your files (if you have some)

i used now hongkong firmware v10g_00, maybe it little faster than other but without fm transmitter (who used it?)
i’ve delete (in LGAPP\Media\Flex) all files and write there Open EU flex file, after factory reset my phone choose automatically my phone provider and work fine.
if you have EU flex: http://rapidshare.com/files/430212957/Flex.rar
good luck!

how do i flash/update? my GPS does not work, my copy and paste does not work.. its VERY buggy…. HELP!

downloaded from the http://www.lg-phones.org/category/lg-chocolate-info page.. but step 3 is wrong and so i cannot continue


Ben on 7 January, 2011 at 10:10 am #

official updater read imei from your mob. if u buy it eg. on o2 then compare to latest update o2. which 1 region u used (v10e)?

I have the same problem with the music player (ie won’t load titles). Before I go to the trouble of updating the firmware to V10H can you confirm this it fixes this?


jay on 16 March, 2011 at 2:50 pm #

Hi, i have version E from the LG update.. it messed up my phone.. everytime i not try to update. it says “new software update” but it ALWAYS jams up at 40% .. left it running for over a week and its still 40%.. so gave up.

now my GPS won’t be detected its always “GPS UNAVALIBLE” its VERY slow.. it takes me 40 minutes to open my music, it takes 3 minutes to make a call..

and theres NO HELP FROM LG AT ALL AND NO INSTRUCTIONS! the software download from the guide DOES NOT WORK. (i found the right files and everything) but when i run the software it says “all COM ports idle” how do I load version G (without damage/bricking)

I do not have any money for a new phone, this is why i need the update URGENTLY.. PLEASE!!!!! cant cope with this stupid junk anymore!

please email: iam_wolfydragon@hotmail.co.uk with the help!

hanime on 13 July, 2011 at 3:00 am #

I recently got the BL40 (Avatar edition) that came with V10e and I followed Ben’s guide above (Ben on 11 November, 2010 at 9:45 am) and updated to V10h (BL40-MSM76XX-V10h-MAY-12-2010-XX) successfully. So far so good. The browser seems to be more stable.


hanime on 13 July, 2011 at 3:16 am #

BTW, what is the best or latest firmware? It seems depending on what country, the firmware is different. Sucks, LG does not support updates for this phone anymore.


Chad on 14 July, 2011 at 8:16 pm #

hanime can u send me the procedure on how to update bl40 in v10h firmware.. what software did u use..

heres my email: richardmarkenriquez@yahoo.com

Ben on 19 July, 2011 at 11:37 am #

hi
why you don’t read all comments?
on top of this is step by step guide
.. lazy men or google it


Chad on 20 July, 2011 at 1:37 am #

mr.ben
i try those steps nothing happen..do i need to turn off my cellphone before i update my fone?

i used v10h firmware.. i cant find v10g firmware..i searched v10g from google but i cant find it.. grrr..


Ben on 20 July, 2011 at 12:25 pm #

Hi Chad
read carefully my post (11 Nov, 2010). all link in this post still active.
don’t turn off your mob before or during flashing. i send you link to fm 10g: http://www.filesonic.com/file/1490805804/V10G_00.rar
be happy, regards


Ben on 20 July, 2011 at 12:56 pm #

some infos
i don’t find any new BL40 firmware.
i think last one EU is 10D_04.kdz, HK is 10G_00.kdz and AU, TW, KOR etc. V10H_00.kdz. it’s too bad! btw BL40 still a good phone.
greatest file capacity is v10G_00 – hongkong, maybe is last one fw from lg?
i have all three if u need …


Ben on 21 July, 2011 at 3:54 pm #

add extra files:
http://www.filesonic.com/file/1498398642/EFSTool.rar
inside folder is EFSTOOL and LGMDP_EURO – very useful apps but 4 careful use only! not recommended for newbie!


hanime on 23 July, 2011 at 1:51 am #

Ben, thanks for the info. I’ve done a lot of research on this phone and even went to foreign websites for additional info on firmwares, etc. If you can read/translate, try the following websites:

Nice Spanish forum:
http://lg.clubmobile.es/bl40-firmware-y-hacks/

Very nice German forum:
http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/lg_bl40_new_chocolate_forum/

Check this link out and use Google translate if you don’t understand: http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/lg_bl40_new_chocolate_forum/150821-lg_bl40_newchocolate_aktuelle_firmwares_erfahrungen.html. From what I see, V10H_00.kdz is the latest firmware and fast and stable.


Chad on 23 July, 2011 at 11:14 pm #

Mr ben can i ask u something?
how can i fix my music media player..its already corrupted i dont why..
upgrading my bl40 v10g final to v10h would fixed my fone problem?

watabam on 24 July, 2011 at 1:03 am #

my headset sign is always on my bl40 phone and it can’t go. so i always have to use my earphone. can anybody help me out?


hanime on 24 July, 2011 at 1:22 pm #

Chad, give v10h a try.

Watabam, plug in and quickly plug out, then restart your phone. It worked for me. It doesn’t seem to happen to me after v10h.


Ben on 25 July, 2011 at 12:20 pm #

Chad on 26 July, 2011 at 4:59 am #

Mr. Ben i try to update and follow ur guide but its say that “Updating is not possible due to a fatal error while the LG Mobile Phone Software Update..

what should i do Mr. Ben? huhu i dont know wat to do.. thnx
and my music player is not responding


Ben on 26 July, 2011 at 9:52 am #

probably u not install some drivers, which one OS u used?
install once again infineon drivers, B2CAppSetup from lg site,
before flashing u must close pc suite and after that run KP500-Utils-EN. try again slowly.
2 my link waiting 4 rights site moderator: eu firmware and hk firmware


Chad on 3 August, 2011 at 7:37 pm #

my lg bl40 wont work now..it stuck in an lg logo?
after i text my friend and suddenly it hangs and stuck in lg logo?\
what shuld i do mr.ben? thnx


Ben on 28 August, 2011 at 6:36 am #

hi chad
i’ve change my cell phone then… try below:
- turn on cell phone and connect to pc – try on ‘LGMDP’ right connection: in ‘LG 3G Mobil’ window choose ‘Tools’, ‘service programming’, in new opened window check ‘read from phone’ (check in new window right port connection). – - if everything ok u have data in second window.
- press exit.
now try flashing your mob:
- open KP500-Utils-EN (on drive c:)
- in new opened window choose ‘I’
- write your mob model [bl40]
- choose firmware file [eg:c:\V10G_00.kdz]
- write again filename without extension kdz [eg. V10G_00]
- after few mins you have new firmware
- if mob not flashing… u must try other options: i think you’ve lost some files then you need write lost files (via ‘EFS Tool’ – ‘EFS File Explorer’) but for that u need extracted LGAPP folder.
c u


Ben on 8 September, 2011 at 1:07 pm #

chad i don’t hear u
last chance (i think) before discard your BL40 is ‘emergency mode’:
- press & KEEP pressed together 3 buttons ‘Volume up’ and ‘Volume down’ and ‘Lock’
- connect USB cable to phone
- on LCD appear ‘Emergency mode’
- now try write above
good luck!


Chad on 10 September, 2011 at 8:34 pm #

i already updated my fone into v10g.. i want to update it in v10h..

thnx mr.ben for any help


aimu on 11 September, 2011 at 8:56 am #

Mr.ben, could you pls make a vdeo how to do all this? i try searching all over in the internet and still cannot find any :-(
,.i already try all the step but still my music player keep loading and loading..


aimu on 11 September, 2011 at 9:12 am #

o yeah, is there any other way that my music player can be repaired without updating it? bcoz in my place there is no place to repair it


Ben on 11 September, 2011 at 3:51 pm #

Hi again
aimu: your first step:
- in call mode tap 3845#*40# (enter to service menu)
- in service menu find and check ‘factory reset’ (nothing more!)
probably after that phone will work fine (revert to default modify your personal setup!)


aimu on 12 September, 2011 at 10:18 pm #

i already try that for million times, but still the music player keep loading forever :-(


Ben on 14 September, 2011 at 2:05 pm #

sorry, i’ve no time 2 explain everyones flashing procedure step by step.
be careful and make it yourself. if phone’s not break mechanically then flashing and restore 2 life ever possible.
read once more guide on top and try (understand too) – no success? try again!
good luck

Dushyant on 3 January, 2012 at 10:31 am #

I am facing a recurring issue with my LG BL 40 Handset which is updated with the latest firmware. The issue is with the handsfree. Once I have connected the handsfree with the phone and later on when disconnected it, the icon representing handsfree still shows up on the phone. Although i tried options like channging the phone answering mode to handset and a few more trials i.e. changing the radio option to speaker, still the issue remains the same. I am using handsfree like an idiot everytime and it doesnt look very nice. The only way i am able to take / make a call or listen to songs is by handsfree only. Please help me with this. I tried contacting the local LG support center but they are a bunch of loons as they reset my phone, updated the software but it wasnt of much help. SOS… help needed urgently


bnky on 4 January, 2012 at 2:52 pm #

eyup –

cossstin on 8 January, 2012 at 2:37 am #

to me so far seems to work this solution


Cher on 14 January, 2012 at 9:31 am #

Dear Ben,

Thank you for all the contributions here! May I ask if you could kindly elaborate more from the point that we put the mob into Emergency Mode please?


Cher on 15 January, 2012 at 2:05 pm #

My phone displays LG Logo followed by the message: “Creating DB File Please wait…” in a white box (will never stop until the battery is removed). Did exactly what Ben advised to press the Volume up and down buttons simultaneously but nothing happen. Please help! Thanks.


Ben on 16 January, 2012 at 2:15 pm #

Before flashing firmware check the battery level (full recommended), use direct USB port – not usb hub.
Before flashing in “LGMDP_EURO” select “Tools\ NV Backup” and make backup this file (after flashing sometimes you needs restore this file – when phone don’t launch).
Press and keep pressed “Volume up” + “Volume down” + “Lock” buttons then connect USB cable.
In flash app select right “com port” to connect BL40 (sometimes needs changing default “auto search”).
Path firmware file must be on disk c:\.
If it was branding phone put in emergency mode maybe difficult (only 1st time flashing, 2nd time is easy).
Flashing in Emergency Mode take more times than ‘ordinary’ flashing.
Don’t give up!


john on 16 January, 2012 at 2:24 pm #

@ben u know what can be my problem ? “in last period my phone go in standb-y mode ( the lg sign flash on my display) and need to remove battery to try to come back to normal…but not works everytime…” i successfull instal the last version from LG.com and i still have this problem :) if you know something who can help me… thank’s

I NEED HELP T_T
can anyone please help how to REFLASH my LG BL40 new chocolate black label series
my phone keeps on restarting, im stuck to LG LOGO only.

is there any thread that teaches a step-by-step procedure on how to reflash LG BL40??

and wwhat program/software do i need to reflash??


Miro on 3 August, 2012 at 10:47 am #

Hi, Ben! I updated it, thank you!
But now I need to enter manually network – I don’t see it even in list of the manual selection.


choco on 13 August, 2012 at 6:05 am #

For any1 with music player issues, check MAIN menu > phone settings > memory info > handset reserved memory / external memory. If they are full, free up some of this space. Your music player should work now. If you’re having issues with hands free icon, plug in headphones, play music, and unplug while music is playing. If music plays over speakers, it’s fixed. The problem is with the physical plug socket (not software related). Mr. Ben, I did an update and I now have an envelope icon with an “e” and an exclamation mark (
!). Any idea of how to get rid of it? Thanks.
