What is your device? Then did you install any roms/kernals/recovery. Right now I can't help you until you tell us your device.

D805(In case), But in system information show D802. (Idk why)
Before i was with CM11, and i tried to back to stock. I flash FRACE D802 RoM, because i don't found any D802 ROM For Brazil.
Ok, i get phone rebooting everytime, too slow, no mobile conection, no wifi. (For the end, anything are down)
So, then i tried to flash D805, but i get error
(Step : TYPE_WPARAM_UPGRADE_ERROR
CleanModelDll() : Free Model.dll
_DetachDLL Call
_DetachDLL Call End
Page_Error ºÎºÐÀÔ´Ï´Ù
¿©±â´Â Retry ºÎºÐÀÔ´Ï´Ù)
I can only flash D802 roms from other countries, every D805 rom doesn't work in flash(I get the error TYPE_WPARAM...)
I cant root, i cant install TWRP to back to CM. What should i do now? I'm very very very sad with that

Ok, will try it after this(Now i'm trying to install via LG Supporter Tool from LG server) let me see where it will go.
i'll update this topic when i'm done.

Doesn't work with LG Supporter Tool(Downloading original firmware for my phone and i get stuck on 49%)
Now trying with LG Flash Tools(ToT) doesn't show my phone on COM41, just say READY and nothing happen

Installed a rom in LG Flash Tools(ToT) not even works. Phone still rebooting.
I'll try to flash D805 room again.

WAIT YOU'RE CLOSE!!!
If it says ready all you have to do is unplug the phone and plug back in to start download. Its not in the instructions but it works.
In device manager you set to COM 41 right?
Make sure you're using original usb cable. Sometimes thin cheap ones will not work.

You need to get yourself back to the place where it just said READY and nothing happened.
Then just unplug your phone, and plug it back in. This triggers the download.
(I was in your situation i was without a phone for 2 days but finally got it.)

OK A bootloop after flash is sometimes expected. you must now do a hard factory reset.
Instructions HERE Scroll down to "Master reset with hardware keys"

If your phone is turning on that is a good thing.
how long before it reboots? I would suggest installing a custom recovery and flashing a compatible Rom.

when i first tried installing custom recovery nothing worked except for GOO MANAGER it installs latest TWRP and i believe they added CWM now too.
If that fails maybe try installing TOT for D802.
its worth a shot.

GOO manager need root?

VS980 TWRP bootloop after botched lollipop OTA while rooted like a dummy

So yeah. As the title says I had a rooted VS980 on 4.4.2 with some bloat removed and I accidently hit the wrong button when prompted for the upgrade, I was in a hurry. yes, I'm a moron, and yes, I know this is probably wasting someone's valuable time and I thoroughly apologize for my n00bishness
having said that, I have tried to go through various tuts but none of them seem to be working. yes, it's likely that I am simply doing it wrong, but whatever the case I am stuck with my phone in a bootloop always returning to the TWRP recovery. I believe that means it is soft bricked so I'm hoping this can be fixed fairly easily with the right direction and some patience for my ignorance. I can't seem to get it into download mode with turning it off, holding the volume+ button and plugging it in, it just goes to twrp. :'(
my hope is to get a rooted lollipop. if that is not possible then I would be fine with going back to stock or possibly even a custom rom if it's not too awfully complicated. honestly, I'm at a point where I'm beginning to accept that I probably shouldn't be screwing around with it too much and will likely bite the bullet and just keep my phone stock since there are really only a few minor irritants that make me want to root it.
any help is very much appreciated.

actually, it doesn't look to be the same problem. i dont have download mode, but i do have recovery. it boots to twrp like a champ. what i think i really need is how to get the flash file VS98011A_01.zip on my phone via ADB Sideload, specifically when i cant get the drivers to work.
i've tried the following drivers:
LG_VZW_United_WHQL_v2.14.1.exe
LG_VZW_United_WHQL_v2.20.0.exe
LGUnitedMobileDriver_S50MAN310AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.10.1_3.10.1.0
I may very well be mistaken about what needs to happen, i'm no expert, obviously, but from everything ive read any of those should have worked. i think if i can get the right flash on the phone i should be able to flash it via twrp no?

I"ll help
You need to adb sideload xdabbebs download mode restore and flash back to stock. Here is an excellent guide on adb sideloading, download xdabbeb restore download zip and put it where it tells you to. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559200

i just happened to have a brand new data cable, tried again with same result so its not media related unless there is an issue with the plug itself, but it's charging and the Device manager shows the correct name ie VS980, it just has a yellow bang on it and i cant find a driver that changes that.
read some more and found others with the same issue apparently which led me to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715408
which is where i found the "download mode restore" file you mentioned(i didnt see it in the thread you provided), but without the ability to get adb usb command to work i dont see how i can use it.
any ideas?

Put the zip on usb otg and flash it.

awesome, ty sir. i happened to have one of those laying around from when i cracked my screen on my old one and couldnt interact with the screen. took a while to find it buried but i have it and i have successfully been able to access a thumb drive. i think that might be all i need.
will report back though regardless.

ok, now i'm rrrrrEEAALLYY freakin confused...
successfully flashed (via the install section of twrp with usb otg thumbdrive mounted.)
xdabbeb_vs98028a_bootstack.zip

from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g2/development/xdabbeb-s-vs982-5-v1-0-0-t2975551
but when i reboot, it goes directly to twrp still.
wat? :'(

ok, installed this:
VS980 39A Firmware
from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g2/development/vs98039a-stock-fw-t3051560
rebooted, went straight to twrp again.
installed
Restore to 100% stock
from the same page.
rebooted. it went into an upgrade screen that errored and then rebooted before i got a chance to write down the error. but when it came back up, it started "android is upgrading".
so it looks like this may have worked. again, will update the success/failure when i know for sure, but thanks for the help yall. i really do appreciate it.

WOO-FREAKIN-HOOOO!!!

sweet, i'm glad someone else found it useful.

Yep, now another problem though. ..no mobile data. .. working on it.
I'd suggest flashing the files in post 12 (I didn't and am having TONS of problems)
So I really didn't get a fix- still working on it.
I have no download mode, and not way to get the serial port to display in device manager, so the LG Mobile support tool won't see my phone....

i wanted to give the t mobile firmware a shot and i don't think it would work though any official tools, 1) i haven't got the update that t mobile has as far as i can tell(is it just a security patch? or a os update?) 2) i'm really hoping the flash will let me bypass the metro hotspot check, right now i can only use pdanet+ works great but i want proper hotspot past my 8GB. it's up to you i'm just asking if i can be posted, any help is good help dont want to ask for to much.

That does not seem safe at all. That sounds like you could brick your phone. You should never try firmwares for different models. If you want upgrade use correct model. MetroPcs is k7ms330.

yeah i know thats why i wanted to use twrp, i already have the version with the button combo and as long as i dont flash the recovery i wont have a issue with restoring, hardware wise they are the same and i've done the same with galaxy s3's and 4's between [email protected] and T-mobile also done this with some LG optimus F(and some number 90?) between boost and sprint so i know it's possible and as long as recovery is accessible it should be alright

I think it's on the PC. Why would it need internet on the phone? If you can get the download link from the log, that would be great. I still need for that model. I'll search for it.

I hope its not just my phone but...
I have the MS330 (Metro) and i followed the steps. Worked just fine. But im having issues with the phone. Actually its just one MAJOR issue. SEVERE battery drain and, may be bad to say it this way, but i hope someone else is having a problem too. I really hope this is a Metro KDZ problem and not my phone going bad. I know its not the battery itself because i have used 3 different batteries, one being brand new. And this is my only phone. I need to figure out how to fix the problem. I think its ***10g update LG supplied. And i need to find a way to go back to the original stock system before this. I think it was ***10e. Does anyone have a TWRP backup? I cant take this battery drain. Please say something if you had battery drain also.

I've heard having KingRoot instead of SuperSU kills battery. But I'm not sure. Pm @goitalone I think he knows of unofficial kdz with the old version. If he does, please send it to me so I can post it here.

I always replace kingroot with supersu. It always replaces and fully removes kingroot. I flashed twrp beta 1 and it works just fine. I use adb to restart to recovery and do what needs done. And i have busybox installed and i use xtreme booster. Thank you for that info though. I have seen the battery drain with kingroot. I will pm him and see what can be done thank you.

You could reflash KDZ and use this method to root, IDK if it will help http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/root-lg-k7-install-supersu-kingroot-t3413941 Make sure you boot into recovery instead of flashing. Root it then you can flash.

LG Stylo 2 Boost Varient Permanent Root Accomplished!

PLEASE HIT THANKS IF THIS WORKS FOR YOU
ok guys i got permanent root there is one pre qualification you will need to accomplish this you must be on software version LS775ZV3 currently this is the only version that can get temp root from kingroot which is what you will need to start this process. ok so if your one of the lucky ones that have that software version and didnt update go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461 and download the latest version of kingroot which i believe is 4.9.6 install it and run it and get temp root, after you verify that your phone is rooted what we need to do now is replace kingroot with super su without rebooting the phone a softboot is ok the temp root will stick with a softboot your going to have to go to the link and follow the guide there to replace kingroot with super su using terminal emulator http://forum.xda-developers.com/a310/general/how-to-remove-replace-kingroot-kinguser-t3308989 . so after you follow that guide kingroot will be gone and super su is now on your phone. super su will ask you to update the su binary make sure to use the normal option, after you press that button it will start to update but will fail so what your going to have to do next is install (Root) FlashFire to install the su binary update manually which can be found here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.flash&hl=en and the su binary zip file can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 . i recommend the stable version, download that zip and put it at the root of your internal memory after you do that and install FlashFire on your phone its time to get down to business open FlashFire when it asks for root permission make sure to grant it after that hit the + symbol then press the button that says "flash zip or ota" when it opens it will show the content of your internal memory locate the su binary zip file that you put there earlier and press it to load it up to flash, make sure the only thing checked is the "mount/system read/ write" and hit the check mark to ok it then hit the wipe button and make sure the only two things checked are the "Dalvik cache" and the "Cache partition" hit the check mark to ok it. after that scroll down to the very bottom and hit the flash button after that it will start to flash the updated su binary and then it will reboot and i know it seems scary but the red notification light will stay on until it reboots all the way and there will be red text that pops up and says boot verification fail it scared the hell out of me i thought i bricked my phone again anyway give it a minute or two to boot and once its done and boots into android you have a fully rooted LG Stylo 2 like i said i have the boost variant not sure about the other versions but these steps are pretty universal on any android device also just so i don't get blamed do this at your own risk im not responsible for you messing your phone up but it worked for me perfectly i have restarted my phone normally a hundred times and root is there every time anyways enjoy im not much of a developer so please don't ask me about custom recoveries or custom roms i don't do that but now that we have root maybe a developer might come in and help or something.

when you remove the battery and restart the phone is it able to boot back into android? not sure why it would hang just follow the steps to a T it should work, this is the exact same way they rooted the kindle fire 7 5th gen with blocked bootloaders as well that is why I said its pretty universal and not device specific but if your phone is fine just reboot and retry.

I've rebooted and retried multiple times over and always have the same issue. My phone has always had the red writing when you first power it up, ever since I rooted it with KingRoot anyways. Is there anyway to get it back to 100% stock? Would that help? And when I say 100% stock I mean above and beyond wiping it

You must be getting some error message on the black screen. It usually fails if the framework is incorrect.

Made a complete ZVA dump

So after following some basic instructions that i still managed to mess up
i made a complete dump on zva. which means a debrick image can be made.
if we had the needed firehose.bin we could possibly fix hard-bricks in qfil in qpst.
I'm uploading said dump to my google drive but kinda reluctant to share it in fear if u used my dump then u might also get my iemi. so once i figure that one out i will make it available to all

So i was looking around in a few of the files in my hex editor and noticed. Id have to pull it up on i think bootloader backup. That user debug is set to 0. Wonder if its modifiable to set to 1 and enable a debug bootloader

Any idea how to dump the PRL? QPST 2.7.460 crashes when I try to read the info from the phone. LGUP might be able to do it with the proper LS992 DLL, but I can't find one that works.

I originally had the root shell from December but it was useless and I ended up flashing a newer KDZ file and have not been able to downgrade yet so for me that method is out and was not working and I have been looking for other options.
So far have two options. https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
UPDATE: The send_command.exe does find the phone so testing to see what happens here
UPDATE 2: Que the haters LAF got me forgot about that guys sorry. So looks like LGUP may be the only option if we can figure out how to convince it to work.
UPDATE 3: Purposely bricking your phone gets you into LAF mode. You have to stop it at 10% on a KDZ update and it will allow you to use LAF mode again.
My other option is use the "expanded" version of LGUP and flash the system partition.I have tried extracting the system partition and flashing but having trouble getting LGUP to flash .img to the system. Seems to only let you choose where to put the partition if you are using a .dz or .kdz file.
As for the SD method, I read a post about using the SD card with a dump of the phone to recover from a hardbrick. Not completely sure of the details on that.
The G5 is not currently my daily driver so am able to experiment some with it.
P.S. Disclaimer to anyone who comes across this reply looking for root. I know some about what is possible with this phone but do not quote me as fact as I can and have been wrong before

Hello, I need urgent help, I tried an unlocking service for my G5 and the person using the remote server bricked my phone. It is not stuck on download mode, I cannot even get into recovery. I don't know how to reflash this phone, I think if I had the correct .dll for the LG flash tool it would help me greatly as I could at least try to flash it. Thank you for your consideration.

Just wondering about this but is the reason the original tool posted by unmentionable names removed because it involves purposely bricking your phone? I found a forum post on the G4 about this and tried it with the G5 and I can get into LAF mode although limited on the newest bootloader version.

Okay. I posted on another forum and asked one of developers of that tool if they'd be willing to let someone try it who doesn't really care about the fact that you could brick your phone so here's hoping they'll let someone else try to finish the tool and get something working. Didn't get anywhere with the kdz method so thought I'd try stirring up the hornets nest again by asking.

I replied to jcase at the end of this post on the tmobile forum. Thought about PMing him but its supposedly taboo to ask about the tool they posted so I figured I'd see if he would reply. Any other ideas let me know. I really want to know how they got root working and if it was full root or just user debug as the full root is helpful but userdebug was not as useful.
Really hate it that someone was stupid and released it early and got them ticked off about it.
