[Q] Upgrading old phone to ROM - Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys!
I am wanting the stock recovery (update.zip) file for the LG Optimus L7 [D321] Cricket.
I have done some Google searching and have found the stock recovery "files" but there are 4 different files and they are .kdz format not one single .zip file like you'd expect for Android.
Can someone please tell me why the files I found are .kdz not .zip???
Also, can someone please tell me where I can get the stock recovery for this device???

Lg Flash Tool 2014 and %2 error

Hi all,
I have D802 International 16GB device and D802TR V20C stock rom installed.
In order to install Germany or Open Europe V20H firmware;
* I installed LG drivers : LGUnitedMobileDriver_S51MAN313AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.13.2
* I downloaded V20H Kdz file and Lg Flash Tool 2014
* Switch to download mode
Everytime I stack on %2 of process and fail. I tried different combinations with different KDZ file but result is same.
I did not understand what is the problem. (win7 64 Enterprice)
Also I tried on another computer but result is same. (win7 x86 Ultimate)
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks.

Dude, try looking for methods on how to do a hard-reset on your device. That would be the first thing you should be looking for.
Sent from my LG-E425g using XDA Free mobile app
I deeply searched into google / XDA and Turkey forums and found an information : You can not install any kind of stock rom which is different than original onto 311K models.
Finally I found a way that is work
I tried TOT method but does not work (different model error) and then I decide to try a different way that never tried before
* I have V20C Turkey Stock rom. (laggy and buggy )
* Rooted and installed TWRP
* Download CloudyFlex custom rom. Opened the zip file and deleted all things under "system"
* I extracted Germany 20H KDZ file (system.img) and copied all things into system folder into CouldyFlex zip file.
* Now I have cloudyflex.zip which includes system folder from V20H (Germany Open firmware 16GB)
* Installed zip file from TWRP. Now my device's LG D802. (was D802TR)
* I use the TOT method and installed V10A firmware (tellcon)
* Then I tried Lg Flash Tool 2014 way - finally it is OK. Now I have stock rom V20H Germany Open.
I had the same issue after flashing Cloudyg2 3.1. When I tried to go back to stock flash tool stopped at %2 and no flashing was possible. Thanks God I had TWRP. My solution was to flash the flashable zip stock rom I downloaded from the below link. After installation I was able to use KDZ method again with no error.

hi
This is a g2 thread. You might wanna post it on g3 thread instead.

[Q] Need help w/ bricked D801

Okay so before you start criticizing me for being a completely dumb-***
I am fully aware that I am. Glad we can pass this part.
Now for the real bullpucky,
I installed CloudyLG 3.0 on my D801 not knowing it was only for Korean Versions of the LG G2
I bricked my LG G2 D801, No Download Mode, No LG G2 logo, No recovery, just Fastboot
So I found a thread which helped me with, this problem but my dumb-*** wasn't think and half asleep
So I flashed the wrong files for my phone. Instead of using the D801 .img files, I used the D802 .img files.
I can see the LG G2 logo, Download mode and stock recovery but, where I am stuck is here
I tried flashing the stock rom using the kdz file but nothing is working. and yes my phone is showing up on my computer on COM4/41
Any means of help? or is my phone done for?
I am willing to work with anyone who can help

If you have a D801 T-Mobile you should be Returning to Stock using the TOT Method.
Visit the Return to Stock thread.
Scroll down a little and you will find the TOT Method.
Grab your TOT .zip & dll file from here.
Try the TOT method instead of the KDZ method.

I tried the TOT method, but since I flashed a ROM that wasn't compatible with my D801, my entire phone now is pointing as if is an F320S, it doesn't even say its D801 model.
When I tried to use the D801 TOT file with the correct .DLL it failed to do so because of the wrong TOT aka my phone saying it's an F320S model when it really isn't.
I'm downloading the F320S TOT file w/ the .DLL, hopefully this works.
Is there any alternatives for this? I would appreciate it! thanks for the reply
internal memory issue , i accidentally flashed a 16 gb stock rom on 32 gb lg g2
Please guys help.....
I got it to work.
You should get the d801 tot file, edit it with hex editor to the line 6010 by copying the line 6010 of f320 tot file save it, and then follow the guide to of going back to stock with lgflashtool with tot file, remember to get dll file that skips version checking, it worked for me, i did the same mistake.

Help with Official Flashing on LG G2

Hello Guys,
I was wondering if you can help me out clarifing a few things about flashing roms in .kdz format.
So i was on Cloudy 2.2 and had a lot of issues and then i decided to revert to stock. I followed the hyelton thread and did the TOT method. Now i have the phone on 4.2.2 working fine. At this moment i want to upgrade to 4.4.2 or 5.0 but when i check for updates i get the information that i'm on the latest SO. So my questions are:
1. How can i force update to 4.2.2 or even 5.0 without rooting? I tried to find the TOT file of a lolipop rom to flash via tool but can't find any.
2. I tryed to flash a .kdz lolipop rom via LG Tool (i extracted the dll and DZ) but i get an previousLoad error... so any suggestions?
3. The last case i could go back on rooting and put a custom recovery and then put the lolipop, but to achieve this, from 4.2.2 wich steps should i follow?
I'm asking this here because i saw multiple threads and discussions but can't get the right ways to do what i want.
Thank you very much.
Cheers
Note: The version is d802, portugal.
Well guys, after much nerves and errors.. here are my conclusions
1. If you want to use Lg Flash tool and flash a stock rom with .kdz extension, you need to put the rom file in the tool folder then run the tool with admin prev. Then select the file and press cse flash. You'll get an error on connecting to servers probably (i got one). Ignore it, but DON'T click on nothing.. the process is still runing, so even with error, just wait... you'll see your phone doing some progress. After a while it will reboot and VOILA
2. About TOT file, i just went with the kdz method.
3. To get the right KDZ file use thiss repo: http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/
then you can put your imei and get the rom or just find a rom that fits you.
4. To get the lattest Lg Tool go here: http://lgflashtool.com/
Notes:
. Keep in mind that the .kdz files are big (>1,6gb) so make sure the download is not interupted, use a download manager or firefox. If its corrupted you'll have problems.
. All the files and sites are not mine, i'm just mentioning them.
Now running stock lolipop with no prob.
Cheers

Pre-rooted .tot / .kdz file ?

HI all !
Today I was on reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/4ek7ue/lg_v10_has_root_now/) , and I was asking myself if it was possible to repack .kdz / .tot file ? I know root method already exist for the G2 and every variants, but I think it's more easy for someone who wants to go back to stock to use a preroot stock file rather than re-root every time using actual method.
I already managed to decompress the .kdz file with this tool thanks to @bullghost . I download UpTestEX.exe , but now when I try to merge all files, I have thoses errors : http://imgur.com/a/LU7SH .
Thanks !
