KDZ file- container file official firmware phone from LG. It contains several blocks, which in general make up the complete firmware.
KDZ flasher- a program for Windows that provides a change in the firmware of LG phones, part of the official software from LG, is used for unofficial ways to flash phones.

Often when choosing a new mobile device The consumer pays attention not only to technical specifications, but also on the software component. Periodically, the developers of the manufacturing company release fresh versions firmware that can bring new functionality, improve hardware performance, or new version operating system. Today we will describe how to flash LG smartphones and tablets using official methods.
Smartphone update "over the air"
The simplest and fast way update LG is the so-called "over the air" update method, referred to as FOTA in the case of smartphones from LG. Usually, notifications about the availability of a new update come when the Internet connection is on, after the device automatically performs the appropriate analysis. When you receive such an alert, all you need to do is expand the notification shade 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, then a corresponding window will appear on the screen where you need to click on “Install Now” (Install Now). It is worth paying your attention to the fact that the battery charge of the smartphone should be at least 50%, and even better fully charged.
Update via LG Mobile Support Tool
It happens that the developer, for some unknown reason, did not release 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 woman" is still functional and often comes to the aid of LG smartphone owners. 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 the 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, a corresponding inscription about the end of the process and the "Exit" or "Finish" button will appear. After that, we can disconnect the mobile device from the PC and use it.
Update via LG PC Suite
The PC Suite program, or as it is also called PC Sync, has a richer set of interactions with smartphones from a 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 click the "Connect" button in the upper left corner of the program window. After the device is detected, information about the phone will be displayed, including information about the installed software. You can check for the latest version of the software by clicking on the "Check for updates" button or by clicking on the "Mobile device" tab, and then on "Mobile device software update". The update installation process does not require any professional skills, so we carefully read what is written and make the necessary choice of action.
Update via LG Bridge
Like previous proprietary software for syncing 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 phone files) and more understandable and simple interface. This program came out 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 tandem with all mobile devices 2015 and older. To install the update, you need to connect your smartphone to 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.
