How To Flashing LG Leon
- Install the LG Driver onto your computer, then reboot.
- Extract the LG Tools FOLDER to your DESKTOP.
- Put device in download mode by powering off completely. Then, while the phone is still off, hold the “Volume UP” button for 2-3 seconds and insert the USB wire (make sure the USB is connected to your desktop/laptop) until download mode screen appears.

Don’t click on anything, just wait for your device to reboot, then you can remove USB cable. Your device will boot normally, and the it is no longer stuck in a boot loop.
