  7. Hi,
    I am running Marshmallow H81820c, when I tried using LGUP, it stopped at 9%, on the phone something comes up in the text box, but only for 1 second then error 0x2000 comes up ‘flashing fail’, KDZ that I downloaded is Indonesia 10f kdz. Why this error, I tried different USB port, different computer, it’s all 2.0 USB port. Any clue?

  8. Hi Faiq,
    does the 5.1.1 Lollipop have MirrorLink? My H818p already came with Marshmallow installed and the option for Mirrorlink never existed.

    Thanks in advance.

  9. Dear faiq, i have g4 dual h818p , i hv got 2 queries:

    1. My battery drains so quick in MM , will downgrading MM to lollipop fix this issue ? If yes , wat kdz source should i use ( algeria, europe, etc ?)

    2. When i turn on data network feature , my phone gets mad (apps open by their own,keys are pressed automatically ) , and i havee to turn off my data connection to avoid this abrupt behaviour . what do u think could be the problem ?

    Waiting for ur prompt response.
    Thanx

    • The battery drain would likely be fixed as reported by other users. As far as other issues are concerned, these are just software bugs. Downgrading will fix most errors and bugs.
      Use the softwarw source specified in the tutorial.

  14. I installed the Algeria version. Now everytime I reboot the phone I get a message (the current version is not available for user…).

    Also I put it to charge like 1:30am. Now it’s 7:30 and it only charged 70℅ and the phone is very heated. What possibly could have gone wrong?

    • Hi, Award Farra,
      If it was working fine before then It’s the software issue. After update, your phone’s system files I think have been messed up. Downgrade it using the method here.

  24. hi, i still dont understand, at first you said that we need to download kdz lollipop from your link (appear indonesia, algeria,etc), and on the step 5 you said marshmallow kdz to select?

    so if we want to downgrade we choose refurbish or updgrade?

    • Hi,
      For installing the apk file manually you need to enable unknown sources option. You can do so by going to settings>>security, scroll down to Unknown sources and enable it.
