[Q] Soft Brick help me please!!!

PLEASE READ EVERYTHING FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING
Hey fellow LG Owner(s) I am writing this asking for some help. I know that majority of LG Phones use the same software and flashing tools regarding taking your phone back to stock. I currently own an LG G Flex (LS995 Sprint Variant) and I managed to soft brick my phone. I have posted this same message over at the LG G Flex Threads but so far I have gotten no one to provide me some sort of solution on how to un-brick or factory reset my phone.
The status of my phone before it got bricked was it had Root (IOROOT method), Busy-Box (by Jrummy), Build.Prop was edited to display as a Nexus 5, and boot-loader locked along with no custom recovery. If you’re wondering why my boot-loader was locked and why there wasn’t any type of custom recovery was due to the sad fact that Developers are having a hard time on cracking it.
Now to explain on how I soft bricked my phone. I was changing my font style by using a tool called ROM Toolbox (by Jrummy). I managed to change my font once and I attempted to change it a second time, since I was looking for something that displayed it wider and bolder. So as I applied install on the new font I got an automatic reboot.
The reboot consisted of the normal LG Logo display, followed by a black screen and staying as a black screen. On the upper left of my phone the notification indicator was flashing multiple colors (red, white, blue etc). This is the current state of my phone, black screen with a multicolor notification.
My attempts to fix:
- Simple reboot of the phone ((fail))
- Let the phones battery drain out then charge for a few minutes and restart ((fail))
- Managed to get into STOCK recovery and perform clean partition ((fail)
- Managed to get into STOCK recovery and apply factory reset ((fail))
- I got into some weird mode which also gave me the option to apply factory reset ((fail))
- I followed this tutorial (LG Flash Tool) on how to revert back to stock (by hyelton) ((fail))
Link to tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2644083
The tutorial by hyelton was almost successful to reverting back to stock firmware until I got to the last step (Number 6). The error that occurred by using the LG Flash Tool was when the tool attempted to flash the stock firmware it gave me a Download FAIL!! “Device Model is different“ notification (Images below). I did this tutorial at least seven times and I got no luck. Every single time that I attempted to do this I kept getting the same notification. I have now ran out if ideas on what to do.
My theory, I believe that by changing my build prop to display as a nexus 5 is the reason why I keep getting this fail notification. On the phone it-self when I put it into download mode it even displays as a Nexus 5 (Images below).
I was wondering since it’s possible to get into STOCK RECOVERY, I saw that it had an option for “ADB SIDELOAD” is it possible to push something thru ADB??? Any type of help is greatly appreciated and thanked. Please do not get upset that you see this in multiple LG threads, I am just trying to find a solution to UNBRICK this very expensive phone that I bought and I cannot afford to just use it as a paper weight. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS
Here is a Link to all my files regarding STOCK tot,dll,lg flash tools,aboot, buildprop, lg usb drivers and adb drivers that are for my phone
Link: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B1D8UNLjuTB6TWpCQ1pJME5qWk0&usp=sharing
i hope these files help anyone that are attempting to help me put my phone back to stock
Alright yall, I am almost official screwed. I purchased this phone about a month ago from Best Buy and they stated that I am out of there 15 day window so I cannot exchange or replace for the same phone. I then went to Sprint on whom I have phone insurance for and they stated that they cannot do anything and that I have to go to one of their Sprint repair stores. I went to one of the repair stores and the gentlemen that assisted me plugged my phone to his computer and immediately knew that my phone was rooted. So from there I played the dumb blonde card acting like I don’t know what he’s talking about and from there he directed me to call LG and see what they can do. So now the current status is I filed a repair request and now I am awaiting a reply from LG. Does anyone have any suggestion???
**SOLUTION** hey yall i got the solution to my problem and it was simply by downloading this universal custom .dll from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2663369
and i managed to flash back to stock recovery using this guide. instead using the dll on the the guide i used the custom one.

well not sure about g flex but for my g2 I had same problem when flashing back to stock it kept saying wrong firmware finally I found I downloaded an updated firmware and so did not match error, try downloading and flashing the firmware the phone came with but not updated, in my case my phone came with d80010d and I was trying to flash updated d80010o, downloaded d80010d and all went fine, not sure if it's the same for you I too changed my phone model in build.prop and my phone went into fastboot mode on restart. Hope it saves u too.

how remember that my bootloader is still locked and this model does not have a custom recovery. but i am able to access the stock recovery with an option to ADB SIDELOAD. I got word from a DEV stating that:
"Factory recovery won't let you adb sideload a package without a LG verified updater script so it won't work." (by XDA justinswidebody)
but if he is incorrect i wouldn't mind attempting trial and error. what do you think???

okay so I tried a different approach I grabbed a d820(nexus 5 model) dll and replaced everything inside with info from the ls995 dll hopefully this works heres the link https://www.dropbox.com/s/kh9ns4gzw3i4gq3/d820_ls995.dll

what's the version of your flash tool
edit: after some reading to flash nexus tots you need lg flash tool 1.8
re-edit: I believe that the dll needs to be modified so that it accepts the device as a nexus 5 but once it's done flashing it needs to make the device and ls995 again, but for now it's 1am and I need to be up early later so I'll work on something later, also just some extra information on ther stuff: as for flashing the build prop if you can manage to make it into a flashable update.zip(which also places it in corresponding directory) which is also signed and you can sideload it should flash or just give an error, and another thing that could work with above method is flashing a corrupted kernel which will throw your phone into fastboot mode and with correct files and commands you can repartition the entire device to stock(this one is very dangerous/risky would not recommend it)

Very nice sir! It's about time this leaked! I'd hit thanks more than once if it would let me.
I've never needed it, but always been just a little cautious with this little tablet due to not being able to do a full firmware restore myself.
You should be getting a flood of praise from all the folks who took the lollipop OTA and lost the ability to root and run bumped boot images. :good:

I recommend using timmytim v410 stock rom after downgrading with the kdz because the kdz is simply a test kdz lol so just Google : V410 Stock Rom

Is your tablet encrypted? You can check by going to settings then security and at the top it should say decrypt..(Or if it's not encrypted then it it will say encrypt) if it saids encrypt then i dont kno what else you can do maybe try reset your tablet or if it saids decrypt simply decrypt it and enter the pin if you forgot it you can probably try resetting your tablet i dont kno if that'll work or not but it should

I used normal flash. Should I have used cse? I've flashed before using the old lg flash tools for my phone with a tot file and dll. I tried looking it up and what I found was for the 400.

Put it in download mode then plug it in then open the lg flash tool 2014 and leave everything as is then put the file in the directory then click cse flash then leave the language and stuff as is then just hit start and let everything do its thing sorry if I wasn't too specific but you should be able to figure out out with the details I gave you

Alright for it to load. Just have userdebug in red in the bottom right corner. Feel like I have still done something wrong

Another thing to test for root

Hey, so me and @schizoidd are working on another thing to test. It is very risky, go here ONLY if you are interested in possibly sacrificing your device for root.

like, very risky. I have an edited .tot file I need to test. I am about 50% sure it will work

I assume this is only for Sprint variants, welp I dunno how I can help then.
THOUGH, @f_scott_scrambled_eggs may be able to help!

I could help with this. I'm running W7 and would probably be using Visual Studio to compile the executable. Also, I have a Sprint G5, and work in a service and repair center, so if things went south, I would be able to order myself a replacement should it get bricked.

Link is ready if you would like to test... please respond in the Skype chat

this is ONLY for the sprint G5 and not any other device. And, yes, the .tot is ready for trial. and the skype link gets ahold of me directly if there's any issue.

Flashing now... will update with results.
UPDATE: Bootlooping.
Code:
Boot verification fail! cause: MISMATCH_SIG_LEN
I'm still able to get into download mode. Only soft bricked it. A stock image flash should fix this for anyone else who's willing to try whenever we get another .tot made to attempt flashing.

you guys edited the boot img in it? :|

No, he did what The did and just wrote TWRP into the TOT. We knew it wouldn't work, but we thought we would just test it anyways to see what would happen.
On the other hand, Schiz edited the TOT before and got it to display userdebug mode on the phone itself, but adb does not recognize it as a userdebug build so we can't use the disable-dm-verity command. Please check out this thread that he started if you have the chance... http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g5/development/sprint-userdebug-t3404260

[WIP] TMOUS LG G6 TWRP/Root Mega-Thread

I thought that we should probably get one thread going for theorizing/working on getting root on our G6's. I have already gone through the aboot with the latest update, and there is no way we can flash anything from there. Our best bet will be using the files autoprime supplied here.
I have no experience building TWRP if anyone would like to help with that. I'll gladly be a guinea pig once I find a way to get LGUP or a similar flashing option to work on the G6.
I also propose that all root bounty donations should go to the EFF once we achieve this.
To-Do:
Get LGUP to detect the G6 - DONE - Use the attached DLL file and follow the instructions below to enter download mode
Create test build of TWRP - DONE
Flash TWRP via custom *.TOT or *.KDZ (Priority)
Verify that we can flash an unsigned image in LGUP
Install supersu.zip
??????
PROFIT
How to enter download mode:
Unplug USB cable (if connected) and power off your device
Hold the volume up key and connect your USB cable
Welcome to download mode
I am not responsible for anything that happens due to this thread. This includes (but is not limited to) bricked phones, a broken plumbus, or explosive diarrhea.

I'm going to go pass out now. Will start again in the AM. (Also reserving second post in case it is needed.)

There is a modified version in the thread for repacking, but hopping on the Github page shows that there is some hidden verification method in the kdz file that makes it fail. Still worth looking into, as this seems to be the best option.
I believe .kdz files have some sort of encryption, and .tot files do not

t-mobile v20 h91810p twrp installation help!

I know I need to rollback my version to 10k, however I am stymied by antirollback problems using lgup! I could really use some assistance on getting this to rollback to 10k. I have been reading the forums for 2 days now, hundreds of posts, and nothing works. I cant use the dirty cow method of installing twrp as it was patched and my phone auto downloaded the stupid update... Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks Zernon916

You can't. You're stuck on P. You said it yourself it is anti roll back.

Right. Upon reboot after hitting start in LGUP, it went to the stock android firmware upgrade screen, said 100% and rebooted . Did a battery pull when the LG logo came up. Put it back in and used recovery button combo (Volume - and Power). Said yes 2 times and it booted to android instead of twrp.
