My bootloader/TWRP WENT mia. Need stock img to put phone back to factory.
Check this thread for my post about this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71355208&postcount=455
The threads take you a couple different places but it will get you to the kdz file and .dll file you need with instructions.
Since you've already done the root process, once back to stock you know what to do, but those instructions are included as well.

So my brand new SD care went corrupt while I had a lot of programs running from it... By means of Link2SD app I put system files on there too and now I get
E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)
I can't seem to fix this problem and it doesn't seem that this problem arises very often because I have found nothing in searching. Any help would be great... I don't want to have to put a hammer to it and then call Asurion for a replacement..... but that does sound fun lol.
I have tried to Odin everything I have in my backups but not sure if any of those are actually the original rom. I have been trying to figure out how to Odin CM or TWRP on to it... or get them install in some form with out the APK. I saw something about them being able to fix the issue.
Have you tried using ODIN and flashing back to a fresh, stock ROM?

Our phones do not support CM or TWRP because we have a locked bootloader. You are on a Verizon G900V, right?
Here's a link to a post with stock ROMs you can Flash via Odin. Choose the appropriate one for the version you want and Flash. Make sure you back up anythibg you want to save.

It doesn't matter what I flash I get the same error. The other things I have found say that the system and/or EFS needs to be re-made so to speak. TWRP has a command that does it and CM allows you to go in though ADB and do it..... That is the best I have found for answers so far. I don't see anything for FlashFire or SuperUser.
Flash using ODIN not FlashFire or anything else.
I have flashed with Odin.... I get no where.... doesn't matter what kernel I use or ROM or anything.... I was saying that the people that have solved this porblem before are using CW or TWRP to access the ADB to send commands for the phone to re-setup the system/EFS
Did you Flash the pit file on the page I linked earlier? That should repartition everything.
Still the same problem
So I just kept flashing tar files from the post above and finally the NI2 took along with the pit file. Thanks for your help @btonetbone
Eventually the NI2 + .pit file being flashed together fixed the problem.
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
How many ways do we have to return to stock. I need to return to 100% stock. The return to stock tool works ok, but I have to flash the modem after. After all the flashing and screwing with my phone, my data and MMS are so messed up, I need to start over. I tried returning to stock last night, and went to MM, but still don't have MMS (but data is working again). Is there a stock image yet that we can flash?
Use your backup? That's really all there is other then rts tool.
I haven't had great luck restoring those either. I think I found a work around. If I use the return to stock tool, then flash the 5.1.1 bootloader and Modem, it seems to be back to stock with working wifi.
For what it's worth, if anyone else gets their data and mms really jacked up, here's how I fixed mine. Use the restore to stock tool. Then after that, you have to flash the 5.1.1 modem to get wifi working again, and I also flashed the 5.1.1 bootloader, because the tool was failing at the bootloader. Flash both in fastboot.

Where did you find the 5.1.1 bootloader? I was failing at the install at booloader as well after returning to stock. Maybe this is where my problem is.
I can't remember exactly. It was in buried in the middle of the 6.0 rooted/odexed thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...rom-stock-rooted-debloated-x1575-6-0-t3262242). But it's probably easier to just pull extract the image file from the EU l return to stock tool. Just copy it from their to your Android sdk folder to flash it as you would anything else.

Thanks for the reply. I got it working by returning to stick and flashing the modem file a second time.
I'll start off explaining my situation and then explain what myself and lots of other people seem to be confused about.
I was on Kikat last week and then upgraded to PB1 and unlocked my bootloader using method 1 by jkruse. Everything went fine and I was running stang5litre. I wanted to try Phoenix but I could not find instructions on how to get to PD1 first. I then saw that I could go right from PB1 to CM 13. I booted to recovery, wiped, installed CM and gApps, and everything went fine also.
I know my baseband is still PB1 but I'm guessing since I'm on CM now that I'm not actually on any official build right? (PD1, PF4, etc). So with that being said I don't understand how to go to other ROMs or back to LP.
I tried going back to recovery, wiping, and installing stang5litre again but my phone would not boot past the Samsung screen. Guessing something with the kernel? Soni flashed back to CM for now and I've been reading like crazy on here.
I'm trying to understand the process for switching between LP and MM. I found instructions by jkruse in the Phoenix forum (post #68) which talk about upgrading/downgrading bootloader but they are not clear and also they specifically say "Upgrade To PD1 Stock Rooted Rom With PD1 Unlocked Bootloader From 5.0 TW Rom". Well I'm not on a 5.0 TW ROM now.
I've seen countless posts in multiple forums showing a lot of other people are confused about this stuff. If I had all the details (clear instructions, file links, etc) I would glady make a very easy to follow guide and explanation of everything. I'm good at writing out stuff like that and making it very easy to understand.
Some things I want to understand so I can make a guide..
-How to go from PB1 to stock rooted PD1 (I see a guide to get to PF4 but Phoenix says you need PD1)
-How to go from CM to stock rooted PD1
-How to go from CM back to stock rooted PB1
-How to go from PD1/PF4 back to stock rooted PB1 (this process might be the same as the process coming from CM?
Any help/explanation would be greatly appreciated. Some of this info might be scattered across different forums but I think a guide specifically for switching between all the builds would be a huge help to a lot of people. Please link files also. I will definitely give credit to all who help if I do get the info needed to make it!! Thanks!

Please dont bother commenting pointless stuff. I read these forums every day and see lots of people looking for clarification for how to go back and forth between MM and LP. Mainly how to go back to LP. You will also find threads and posts with people giving different instructions. Some say just flash the PD1 rooted stock in recovery.. some say that won't downgrade the bootloader..
Some say to follow Jkruses guide in the second post of the bootloader unlock thread. The part about going back and forth between bootloader's.. which is a way more complicated method. There is different information all over
I highly suggest you read the 2nd portion "If You Already Have Bootloader Unlocked And On A Samsung TW Rom" link.
I think the key you need to understand is that you have to match the bootloader version with the corresponding ROM you are trying to flash. PB1 is for LP ROM. PD1/PF4 is for MM ROM.
Having above said, here's my answer to your question below:
-How to go from PB1 to stock rooted PD1 (I see a guide to get to PF4 but Phoenix says you need PD1)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Please follow the 2nd portion of the link above.
If you want to try Phoenix, then you can use the SafeStrap_PF4_Bootloader_Unlock_AIO.zip as jrkruse confirmed PF4 does work with it.
Upon complete the 2nd portion, then you can flash Phoenix's v12 ROM in TWRP directly.
-How to go from CM to stock rooted PD1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First of all, find out which CM you are at. I assume you are at CM13, then you would need follow the same 2nd portion instruction again (using the PD1 Bootloader), then flash the stock PD1 rom in twrp.
-How to go from CM back to stock rooted PB1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Same as above, except use PB1 bootloader in the process.
-How to go from PD1/PF4 back to stock rooted PB1 (this process might be the same as the process coming from CM?
Click to expand...

You are right, it is the same process.
I hope I cleared it out for you. If you are not sure where you are at, then I would suggest you odin the original PB1 image, root it, unlock bootloader, flash twrp, then follow the 2nd portion of the link.

Thanks for the reply. I found instructions from Jkruse on page 7 in the Phoenix thread. That's why I am confused because there are so many methods scattered everywhere.
So here's what I tried and something went wrong already.
------------------------
Flashfire Method to Upgrade/Downgrade Your Bootloaders Dev Unlocked To Stock Roms
This Method Only Works If You Have A Dev Unlocked Bootloader Or Have Previously Unlocked Your Bootloader
I just want to add this warning. If you use this method you dont have the safety net that safestrap provides so if something goes wrong in this process you may end up with a unrooted phone and locked bootloaders causing you to have to start The whole rooting process over since you will not have safetrap to boot back into
Upgrade To PD1 Stock Rooted Rom With PD1 Unlocked Bootloader From 5.0 TW Rom With PB1 Unlocked Bootloaders
Download these 2 files and place on phone
PB1_Flashfire_Prepare.zip
PD1_Full_Firmware_With_Dev_Aboot_Twrp_Recovery_Ima ge.tar.zip
Reboot to TWRP and flash PB1_Flashfire_Prepare.zip
Reboot
Open Flashfire (It will be installed by the zip you flashed in TWRP) grant supersu permission
-------------------------
. I rebooted to TWRP. Flashed the PB1_Flashfire_Prepare.zip and rebooted right away. I now had safestrap installed which I did not before. So I go to open it up and my screen goes white for a second and then just returns to the app drawer?? It will not open
So then I delete the file and figured maybe it was a.bad download. Downloaded it again and tried to boot to recovery but it went to stock recovery not TWRP.
So I have no clue what to do now. How can I get TWRP installed again? All I did was flash that one zip so idk what went wrong. I am on PB1 everything.

The SS/FF method was old instruction. People sometimes has hit or miss. I think Jkruse found out the cause (my guess is the binary status). Please go for the latest one, which is at the OP of the link I gave you.
If you still have the unlocked bootloader, you can always odin the twrp image (I recommend v3.0.0.0).
If you happened lost the unlocked bootloader status, then I would recommend you to odin the original PB1 tar, root, unlock bootloader, odin twrp, then follow the 2nd part of the OP.
I hope this helps.
Hi everyone, I perhaps kill my old lg g2 [R.I.P], but maeby you find a solution for that. This is my story.
Today I want to install MIUI 8 so i download one .zip file from this forum. Like always i do full wipe and then install ROM. everything be normal, ROM be installed and i started setting my new OS. After few sec, i can't go thought the setting cuz there be a error. I decided to reinstall system one more time, and this is that moment when I know I f**k up. Off my phone, wanna on TWRP and then i see i can't do anything, phone stuck in LG logo.
Any ida what to do?
Thanks for all ideas.
Maybe go back to a stock ROM and start over? This thread may be helpful in getting back to stock: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
The thread helped me go from Cloudy 3.2 to stock MM on a d802.

Right so I'm facing two problems with going back to stock method:
1) as i said, the phone won't boot up on flashing ANY version of d802 firmware (I've observed that in lg flash tool, where you flash tot files, shows that the phone's model number is d802at. So I'll try flashing a d802at fw for the last time and see if it works)
2) i try to flash an ls980 fw, the flash tool gives a model number error. (If flashing d802at fw doesn't work, then i guess i have to modify the hex data in the ls980zve.tot file and force flash it on the phone)
I'll give you an update after something has happened.
@ audit13 it is work!!! Thanks for your help! And I have one last question, I still have root acces and TWRP installed?
Glad it worked
You should be back to stock recovery and no root.
