How would you flash it? We don't even know how to flash standard kdz on lg l5 II. Start be finding that out. Here you will find the kdz for your phone: http://luivit.altervista.org/lg-phone-firmware/index.php?id_mod=23

ok, well I forgot to notice that we have a MTK6575 phone which means we might be able to flash http://droidxda.blogspot.ca/2012/07/review-mtk65736575-complete-guide-to.html we can use the SP flashing tool on our phone. also i will not flash that until it is confirmed to work becuase i just bought the phone and dont need a third paperweight if i brick it.

To enter download mode, follow the procedure.
1. remove battery.
2. Press Volume up and down at the same time,
then plug usb cable.
Another method is to press volume down+quick memo+power key,
then keep holding volume down and quick memo key.
You may try one of them

[Q] Error with stock rom flash: ATT LG-D800

I've consulted a couple of forums, both on XDA developers and on other sites, and I'm at a loss. Every single one shows the exact same method for flashing the stock rom onto my phone, but the method does not appear to be working. It uses the LG Flash Tool (and as we know, att uses a .tot file instead of .kdz, so other tools are not currently compatible). I have most definitely followed the instructions bit by bit, and have not made any errors in this regard. Does anyone have any idea the cause of the error, and if I need to supply more information please ask. I'll do my best (however I'm by no means an expert. I just know a little from playing with my rooted phone and reading here)
I've included an attached image of the flash tool and it's error report. Please and thanks guys

i wouldnt worry too much about the error cause on my first G2(AT&T) i returned back to stock numerous times and everytime the error showed at the end,but, i had no problems. everything went back to stock and everything was functional.im sure its an error that we would have to go into the TOT file and edit. i had similar issues when i used to own the droid bionic,with just editing a few lines everything completed with PASS. not sure on the G2 though. still new to it and love it very much stock.

Use the attached dll instead of the one that is recommended along with the tot file.

Possible root method for Sprint ONLY, need tester (will possibly brick phone)

Hey guys, talking to tungkick again and came up with something that MIGHT work. It might brick your phone though, so does anyone have a phone that they would be willing to test this on? It is a way to unlock bootloader
Please PM me as soon as possible

He has (had) a few posts on the Sprint forums, i don't know much about him though... seemed to bring more trouble than help. Would you be willing to test our method?

Got an idea of the brick/success odds? I'm willing to test, but she's my daily too.

Any luck so far?

I'd be willing to be a tester if you tell me the kind of risk associated with your method

f*%& yeah

As long as there isn't any device check in LGUP then you should be able to flash a t-mobile tot. Also the cellular radio will be the only thing that might brick. You should be able to flash back to sprint the same way that you flashed the t-mobile tot. Also that should fix the radio. Worst case scenario you loose your efs aka esn, imei and meid. However, they can be restored if you know how. In my opinion this sounds like it should work. I don't have a g5 and my g4 is in for repair so I cannot test currently. If someone tests this let us know if it works.

The dll is fine... On the G3 we used to have a dll that would allow flashing different versions from different carriers. That was back in the LG flash tool days though. I am pretty sure that the dll for LGUP allows this already but the only people that know for sure are those that have tried it and @autoprime.

Ok... They have to enter download mode and flash the bootloader partition using dd. First they have to get a list of partitions so they know what partition is the boot loader partition.
Code:
mount
should tell you what most of the partitions are. Then do backup your bootloader by doing
Code:
dd if=/path/to/block/bootloaderpartiton of=/sdcard/bootloaderbackup.bin
of course you have to change /path/to/block/bootloaderpartiton to the correct location. Then just flash the new bootloader using
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/bootloaderyouwanttoflash.bin bs=8192 seek=65536 count=557312 of=/path/to/block/bootloaderpartition
again changing the /path/to/block/bootloaderpartiton to the correct location.
EDIT: I believe that the bootloader is aboot.bin or aboot.mbn when you extract the tot file. It doesn't matter what the file extension is. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

If you are in download mode you can run commands as root on the phone. The commands can be run using send_command.exe on windows.
OK I uploaded a zip with send_command.exe in it
To use it open cmd prompt and type.
Code:
Send_Command.exe \\.\COM4
replacing 4 with whatever your com port is (you can find this under device manager com ports)
You should see a # where you can type commands as root. Also type mount in adb to find the partitions... Then post it back here so I can have a look. I will try to tell you exact commands to use if I can find the partitions. Thanks

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

Poll - Is root working for you? (T-Mobile Variant ONLY)

I want to take a poll, and this will be for T-Mobile variants ONLY. Being that the thread has people from all different carriers posting results, i think it's rather confusing to anyone reading along trying to decide whether or not to give it a shot.
So, have you successfully rooted/TWRP'd your TMOBILE variant LGv20?

You did not do a backup in twrp before flashing your file? You may have to exchange your phone you should always make a backup especially with things this new

Unlocked and rooted with no problems. I flashed a systemless hosts file for ad away in twrp and everything was fine. For assistant, I manually edited the build.prop file and restarted, which worked great. I almost feel guilty as to how easy this whole process has been.

I assume the build prop edit changes the device name. Therefore lg up won't recognize it. You will need a custom .dl file with the name edited. At least that is what used to happen back in the day when I was working with these phones. There used to be a program that made it possible to edit the .dl file.
