metro mm kdz is up - LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion

someone posted this in another thread http://www.mylgphones.com/metropcs-...receiving-android-6-0-marshmallow-update.html
i just had a few questions...it says to use lg up to install...does anyone know if you can use the lg flash tool?
also i thought i read in another thread that using the mm kdz would lead to an unlockable bootloader...anyone know if that is correct or will i still be able to unlock it?
thanks

[Q] TWRP on LG G2 D802

I just bought the international version (D802) of the LG G2 and i'm doing a bit of reading up on rooting the phone before I start playing with it. Can anyone tell me which of the .img files is suitable to download from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670) for my phone?
I assumed the Korean version is not the same as the international version?
(sorry for not posting this question in the thread I mentioned, but as a new user it says I don't have permission to post in the developer section)
Thanks.

I also have the 802.
I've managed to root my phone using the method here. It detected my phone as the ATT/TM variant so I reckon it is similar at least on some level. I had no issues with the IOroot.
There is another thread in the General forum that says TWRP doesn't work though.
Thanks, I read the rooting guide and it looked straight forward enough. But the twrp guide didn't mention the 802, so I just wanted to make sure I flash the correct one.
I was just reading that thread you mentioned in the general section. It still leaves me a bit confused, as to which one, if any, works. I've been saving for months for this phone, so the first thing I want to do after rooting is make a backup!

Need Stock USA AT&T E980 .KDZ file

Hey guys, I'm looking for the stock USA AT&T E980 kdz file to use with LG's software to put onto the phone. I tried submitting this question in THIS topic, but I don't have 10 posts yet and am not allowed. They are both .zip files and I need the .kdz (don't know why they're the only zips on the whole page).
Trying to sell the phone, and need the stock rom.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: And yes, I've already downloaded the zips, and there are no .kdz files on them.
I need this KDZ too

I have problem
[email protected] said:
Took me a while to find this on my old posts, but here it is. This should work with EVERY d802 kitkat aosp based ROM out there so here it goes:
All you have to do is look for the Meta-inf folder>Com>Google>Android and the updater-script file should be there. Download Notepad ++ and open the updater script with it.
The first lines that you have to edit should look like this:
Edit them so it looks exactly like this, and make sure to keep the same format. All you have to do is change the "d802" and "galbi" for "d803"
Like this:
After that, replace the boot.img with the Furnace Kernel boot.img (the one made for aosp, it works with most 4.4 roms), save and close the zip. Put it in your phone and flash, along with the G-apps and optionally the QuickRemote.zip if you want to get remote functionality.
If you don't feel comfortable with replacing the boot.IMG yourself, skip the boot.IMG replacing part and go straight ahead and flash the modified ROM.zip and afterwards flash the furnacekernel.zip
If I didn't make things understandable, just say it and I'll take the time to explain more when I get home. I'm replying from the phone and its kinda hard to do quotes and stuff on chrome

Depends on what Kernel and rom you used. Ever since they updated roms to use either LG 4.4.2 sources or just JB sources it got a bit tricky. It seems youre using a JB kernel on a KitKat sourced rom.
Hi guys, I'm new here from hard bricking Claro 803/801. I'm very confused on what to install and what not - the official version of TWRP seems to be 2.6.32 but there is a 2.8 material design version. Again with roms, I'm not sure what is allowed and what is not. For someone fairly used to Cyanogenmod on my One X and also having heard of Cloudy G3, what would you guys recommend
Question re: D803 vs D801
Hi, I was referred here from a reddit sub while looking for information, it looks like there are lots of knowledgeable people here so I thought I'd post.
First off, for context, I'm a complete n00b when it comes to doing any sort of modifications to a cell phone; pretty much everything I've read here over my head. Rooting? Flashing? No clue what those are
I currently have a D803, and I love this phone. But, I do NOT love my carrier, as I'm being charged ridiculous fees, so I'd like to switch. The problem is the carrier I'd like to go with does not support the D803, as they use the AWS 1700 band (from what I can gather), which means I need a D801, in theory.
I saw someone advertising they can modify my model of phone (among others) to work on the carrier I'm interested in, for $25. Do you guys know if this is even possible? If so, could someone explain to me what the risks would be?
Thanks!

While I cannot speak for the LG G2, I know that with the Skyrocket I was able to flash a modified rom to have it work with Wind's AWS system. It only worked in places close to their towers but never very well. However since the 801 (T-mobile) works on AWS you may want to buy one of those/swap or maybe see if you can flash that radio (D801). NOTE: I cannot guarantee that will work and flashing the wrong radio may seriously damage your device, or so I've heard.

this method gives me link for following version:
D80230a_00.kdz
but when i instal this rom my phone's touch breaks, giving multiple touch points at a time and dead zones, imei becomes 0 and baseband is aslo not present and phone memroy appears 10gb on computer.
this is the correct firmware for you. this is not a ROM but a full fledged update that you must flash using update tool. I suggest you ask on main forum about this problem...but one thing is clear. do NOT use claro update, or you may hard brick your phone.

[Q] Recovery Mode LG Leon (H340n)

So after I rooted my device I was playing around with Xposed Firmware. And I was thinking if there was any way to "unlock the bootloader" and put a custom recovery . So if any of you knows any way please let me know
I already tried Flashfire
If you want to root your LG Leon H340n install the Kingroot app
Xposed Firmware guide from bkpaokfc : http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-xposed-leon-t3275780
Please reply , again my device is not from T-mobile or Metro PCS
No there isn't any way , yet. Only android 5.1.1 version got that option. ! MetroPCS got that version but You're not there If Leon get 5.1.1 Android 5.1.1 Roms will come
P.S: Thank you for posting my guide

Nice question i can give you a real life example, One day i install that version with no problems ,i unlock the bootloader , install the TWRP and then the rom. Everything was working fine (exept the rom bugs) exept the signal. If i was at America and had an Metro PCS card i would use 5.1.1 . Since i'm not there i can't install a firmware from another mainland. I doesn't know from people living in America like T-Mobile or AT&T or i don't know anything else, i ain't sure if it will work for them.
P.S : As i read from some news about LG Leon, we gonna get the update 5.1.1 , but i don't know when.
I have a way of getting android 5.1.1
I rewritten this twice to be a better & less cluttered work...so check out my new thread

But arent any 345 and 340 essentially the same device (Leon c50)?
As I dont have tested so much with lg devices, I may be wrong. But if the device is incorrect shouldnt the flash process fail? I have locked bootloader, so shouldnt I be able to install my factory kdz even if the flash process fails for using incorrect kdz?
And one more doubt: which versions are 5.1.1? D e and f? Also, is downgrade possible from d e and f to a version?

All the kdz files are defined by country, model, & carrier
It may not brick your phone if you flash the wrong one, but you probably wont be able to recieve calls or even read the language on your device since you flash another country/carrier.

Well for the sake of trying, that wont be a trouble. The only trouble would be not being able to access firmware upgrade mode after an incorrect kdz, or not being able to downgrade. I'd love to be sure about that, but I found no certain info around :/
I only tried another version (no carrier) for my h340ar and worked perfecty, but both were argentinian kdz and v10a. I wanted to try v10d e or f and see what happens. But this is my only device and here theyre expensive

A few questions about rooting on a VS995 with software version VS9951AA

Is the firmware version VS9951AA still down gradable to a rootable version? If so, does dirty santa work good on the VS995? The dirty santa guide mentions to use the us996 twrp file, but on the twrp thread, there is one for the VS995. Which one should I use? One more question: Outside of the second screen, would I lose anything else major if I went with a custom rom?
i95swervin said:
1AA can be downgraded. You should follow the dirty santa thread exactly as stated.. Use the twrp suggested and just upgrade twrp after your done with the unlock / root method.
If you use a stock custom rom you will still have the features of stock. Such as 2nd screen.
Goodluck

Thanks for the reply mate, will help me out. Have a good evening (or whatever it is there) :3.
I just received my new to me VS995. It came with firmware VS9951CA. Is this firmware down-gradable to a rootable version? If so could someone point me in the right direction to find the correct KDZ file for a Verizon USA phone? The only KDZ's I can find are for other countries and are on the LG website. I have found and read through the LGUP instructions.
Found the Verizon KDZ files.
P.S. I bought this V20 because I thought I bricked my Note 4 and I want a phone with a replaceable battery. After ordering this V20 I was finally able to find a ROM that my Note 4 would boot under... Lineage. Having run my Note 4 under Lineage for a week I kind of like it better than the bloated V20 stock ROM. Unfortunately since they take different sized CIM's I can't just switch back and forth between the phones to see if I can handle bloatware after a week of slim and slick! ...I think my Note 4 is about an ounce lighter after flashing Lineage.
