Your phone has this already (out of the box) and yes it will wipe everything from your phone.
Thanks! this let me restore everything back to stock and put s-on back. I had to exchange the thunder due to the backlight bleeding through the black paint around the bottons.
My Tbolt has this same issue and I'd like to exchange. Did Verizon give you any hassle when exchanging it? I'm rooted and will need to flash back to stock as soon as I can DL this file...
FileFactory sucks

Yes they did. Said it existed on all of the new TB's they've sold and would not exchange the phone for that reason. It's not really that bad but in the dark, it's annoying.
Grabbing with a downloader and then editing this post with a mediafire link. The only good site for uploads other than my server IMHO

Too big for mediafire, but that should work. Please post an MD5 OP so I can check it all.

it'll restore your phone to an out of the box state.
what for?
my phone is already at the original state...
or is it like if you brick it or jailbreak it or something?
If the rooting process gets messed up, you'll be glad you have this file.
So this removes Root ???? I am looking just to update my radio ?? Is there something for that ?
I rename this to pb05IMG correct then put on sdcard and install via hboot?

follow link above and Downgrade, sucks that you updated, but don't worry you can downgrade to the awesome 2.2.1!
It's quite difficult to brick the phone if you follow the steps exactly. the only time you may brick the phone is when it is during the process of flashing the stock 2.2.1 rom, and you pull the battery or something. So make sure you're battery is charged! and secure.
i understood the downgrade part but im very confused about emmc thing, whats adb?

ah, when you try that command, it has to be tried through adb, and the phone has to be in a custom recovery, like clockworkmod or 4EXT. since you don't have a custom recovery currently installed, it won't work. so try the other command, through terminal emulator.

R.I.P My L5 (Swapper2)

Last night, my phone is broken (hard brick). Besides, I lost my ext-sd card (I had to format.). I used Swapper2 program by making a very big mistake. (Efforts to improve phone.)
Swapping normally supported by CM 10.1 kernel. And I'm sure swap supported. I checked swap by Terminal Emulator command. It shows "swap" word (that are supported).
My phone is not responding. Any button doesn't work. Charging doesn't work. USB to PC doesn't work. (PC doesn't detect normally.) :crying:
What should I do now? Is there anything I can do without sending service?
Waiting for your help guys.
EDIT for more information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2126363
I followed this link. I applied everything. After I turned off phone it died (Could not open any more.). That's it.
I saw like 100 people getting their phone hardbricked after using the swap thing. That's why I won't ever do that bulls*it.
There's still a way, but you're missing one essential file.

EMMCBLD.HEX from that thread is not for our phone. You need the hex file for msm7x27a.
There's some information here: http://www.anyclub.org/2012/04/how-to-build-emmc-flash-programmer.html, but I have no idea what tool you need to build it.
Just 3 days ago another user had the same problem with L3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44755592

So I suggest you contact him for the link, and maybe you'll get the required hex file from the guy on Modaco.
Too bad, was looking forward for your tutorial.

How did you hard brick your device??
In my old Samsung phone
I would connect USB and then power on device without battery and then reinsert battery and flash ...
I don't know if it should work but it is worth trying ...

Try posting your question here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/help
People get kinda hyper if you post in the wrong place. I'm coming off of a Samsung Galaxy and just got a LG G2 a couple of days ago so I'm new in these neck of the woods also. While cruising the LG G2 forums I read something about using "Flashtool" and using a .tot file to get back to stock. I have no idea what that is yet but it might get you started in the right direction. Don't freak out, there are plenty of guys out there that will help if they can.
Good luck,

Don't bother! Fake and malicious files
Malicious site/link. Once you battle through the malicious pop ups and get to the actual download, the file that is trying to download is actual a .js (java script) file and NOT the rom file. So if you are insistent that your link is good then please keep it to yourself because this will cause people a LOT of grief if they click on the link in the OP.
TO ALL, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Instead use this link . It is at least legitimate although you need to register in order to download it. Is all this worth it? Probably not.
