Some potential places to hunt around in and/or ask in the forums:
Thank you! I already tried XDA but I’ll look at the others.
Not familiar with LG's site so I don't have any links quickly available. But if it helps, and if you know the link or roughly where in the site the file was, maybe you could try checking Internet Archive, Archive Today, or, if the site has an Australian equivalent, the Australian Web Archive / Trove? Don't know other page-archiving alternatives, but if you do, I would also suggest checking on them.
They don’t even give you a link to the file directly that you could feed I to archive, they do a query with a code that triggers it to deploy the file. Of course. Because the more complicated and obtuse the better.
But what if you try to navigate through the archived pages? The lack of direct links is something that also happens in some Microsoft pages, but some times Internet Archive manages to archive such pages anyways.
Will do! I’ll see what happens.
I found this site, pakphones.com with a link for the US730. Right now, unfortunately, cloudflare can't reach the ul.to host, but if you haven't tried this one, one could hope it actually works some day.
I also found a (possibly dead) link at this site, lg-firmwares.com, though it's cookie, captcha and waiting time protected, and the download doesn't begin for me right now...
Your search string also lead me to this forum thread, where I found a relevant filename to look for: LG730ZV8_05.S8_00.P61009.cab
1-LGExtract -kdz name of flash file with kdz extention(as :LGExtract -kdz US73011b_03.S11b_03.P15107.kdz) 2-result of 1 is a file as: LG730ZV8_05.S8_00.P61009.cab 3-extract [it] by winrar here 4-LGExtract -wdb name of flash file with wdb name of flash file with dll asLGExtract -wdb US73011b_03.S11b_03.P15107.wdb US73011b_03.dll).
This lead me back to the pakphones blog, where I found these (possibly dead) links to relevant files on this page:
LG Venice LG730
Flasher LGNPST Store & Lab.zip
Firmware LG730ZV8_05.S8_00.P61009.cab [mirror]
Components & DLL LGNPST_Components_Ver_5_0_20_0.zip LGNPST_GenericModels_Ver_5_0_12_0.zip LG730_120831.rar
Service Manual EN_LG730_SVC_ENG_120919.pdf
User Manual RDL-1209-00011_LG730_Boost_UG_EN_V1.0_120925.pdf
You have probably already seen all or most of this, but maybe there's some missing puzzle piece somewhere in this information?
Note: the .cab files mentioned in this post are not URLs, even though (at least my) Lemmy client formats them as that.
I’ll take a look thank you! Yeah the firmware’s site is where LG support links to and their site is shit. First of all, after two attempts it says you can only download two files per day. It uses IP not cookie so I used VPN to retry but it’s a dead link. The thing actually said to me “You are a spammer” seriously no shitting. Assholes.
But I’ll look at everything you provided thanks.
Their captcha crap is fucking atrocious. Sometimes it cannot be done without reloading over and over for like ten minutes until you get a usable image. Captcha is such drek.
