I used to work for tmobile, but I quit. I have a bill I did not pay (well over 500$, plan increase because I quit). My LG Leon is not iMEI blocked because I got it for free, essentially its paid in full. Stupid me did not use the device unlock app when I had the plan and now I can't unlock the device through the tmobile app ( unless I pay phone bill ). So I have been attempting for well over 4 hours trying to unlock and install a Rom so I can use my MetroPCS sim card. This is what I've done so far:
Installed kingroot.
Installed TWRP and firefly.
Downloaded a rom from XDA ,copied Zip (32bytes, is that a normal size rom?) custom rom onto my SD card.
Run firefly or TWRP. Selecting to reboot in recovery, phone reboots and it stays on LG life is good.
I have not been able to do anything else after 5 minutes I pull the battery, restart phone, reopen the apps and try again but It stays on the LG life is good screen without accessing recovery at all.
Is there something else I can do? Maybe manual install using my PC? I read others who had the same issue.
unfortunately this is my only phone for now and its hard to get a ride to my dialysis without a phone. I'm lost and REALLY need my phone.. Thank you guys

I started with the LG for sprint LS980 and tried to flash it for US GSM radios.
Got bricked in a T mobile loop using the LG Flash tools.
When attempting to flash the stock Sprint the flash tool would only recognize the phone as the T-mobile variant.
This caused me to get the 4.2.2 up and running but it will start and if the screen timed out then it would reboot (and problem was also the fact that my keyboard didnt work.)I got Kit Kat to work via flash tools no problem (except for radio). and as everybody knows that TMO version of KIt Kat doesnt work with IOroot. I downgraded and now I'm back to the phone starting up and and rebooting at random. I was able to run ioroot but cant tell because the phone wont stay on long enough for me install root checker, su, or autorec. I would like to get the Sprint back but If I can atleast get a custom rom I can work it from there
I used T-Mobile USA D80110C_00.kdz to flash with the top method hyelton supplied but (remind you my phone is a Sprint phone but it couldn't feel any farther)
adb is not gon cut it cuz the phone will not stay on
Where did I screw this downgrade process to 4.2.2. and can I get back to Sprint? I jus got my straight talk sims Im ready to roll.
Alternative Strategy
It says Service Disabled. Is there a way to fix this?
pretty sure I need root.
I cant see the options for mobile data either
BTW S/O to everybody here yall be going in
Hi guys, I got my LG G2 a few months ago and it was my first android phone. Since I always jailbroke my apple devices I decided to root my lg g2. Everything worked fine until last week when I was prompted to install a software update. I thought this might mess up the phone since it was rooted so I postponed it until later in the day to give me time to research, but I forgot to postpone the update again and it went through at the scheduled time. Now when I turn my phone on, the lg logo is displayed, and then I get a boot certification verify error. I don't really know what that means but I can't do anything, no recovery, no download mode. I started to follow this tutorial but am stuck at what files to download. I do not know if I have the 10b, 11a, or 12b variant, and I can't find a way to check it without turning the phone on, which I can't do. I'm really lost at what to do at this point, I can't follow the only guide that might fix my phone. Is there another way to solve this issue or find which variant I have? Would verizon accept it back to fix or replace it since it's been rooted? I've read some people saying they unrooted their phone and then returned it to the carrier, is it possible to do that in my situation? I really need some help guys.
TBH: I would call Verizon, and tell them the phone was bricked by the update- hope they don't notice it was rooted when they warranty it. Problem is, if they do you get charged full amount for phone. I'd consider if you have insurance to just claim it on insurance.
try download lg support tool from lg website http://www.lg.com/uk/support/software-manuals
plug the device and wait for the software to recognize ur version.
I downloaded and installed it, but it won't recognize by phone. I have installed the drivers for it
ok.
try to follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2681089
and the files download from here:http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/VS980/Stock_Firmware/10B_Partitions
lets try this virsion and see what happend..
download the 10B zip file and the dll file too http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/VS980/Stock_Firmware
now it doesn't boot at all, not even to the lg logo. Additionally the partitions don't show up in ubuntu any more. I guess i'm completely screwed now?
hey guys, new poster here.
I followed some online tutorial to root my SM-G870A. It failed miserably. As best i can tell it tried to revert me from 5.1.1 back to 4.4.1? Kitkat? Little did i know at the time that is a major no no with this phone.
So, i got stuck in a boot loop. With a ton of google help i was able to get myself out of bootloop. But now, It seems like i have no operating system as my phone will not boot past the "Samsung Galaxy S5 Active - Powered by Android" screen. There is no other text on the screen.
Additional notes:
- Comp is Windows 10
- I am able to access recovery mode.
- My computer does not recognize the phone completely. It makes the "blurp" noise but i cannot access it as a USB mass storage device or load files via usb to the external sd card.
- I can upload files to my external sd card via the computer, if needed to boot a file direct from recovery mode.
- I have USB drivers installed and up to date, as best i can tell.
- I have Odin 3.09 and Odin 10.7 available
- I have no backup files, and do not care that i have lost everything
- I just want the phone to go back to stock operating.
What files do i need? Do i have to flash it from Odin? Can i upload them to the External SD and launch the recover from there?
Ive tried several different files via flash but i must be doing something wrong because the phone screen doesnt progress past "Galaxy s5...."
AT&T ?
Bootloader is locked, you'll likely need to take it to an AT&T store to get them to fix it for you, or some local phone shop
Yeah At&t. Unfortunately, I disconnected the phone line 3 days ago. I took it into the store and the rep who called on me had no idea what i was talking about when i asked if they could reflash the stock rom/ firmware. she sent me to ATT tech support line. I have yet to call them as i bet it is a dead end with the line disconnected.
So with the "bootloader locked" i am out of luck? How do i unlock the bootloader? Not an easy feat?
is this the file i will need: G870AUCU1ANE4_Full.Odin.rar ? assuming i can get a way to unlock the bootloader?
You can't unlock the bootloader, that's the problem

hmmm... thats what i've been reading recently. So the phone is game over?
The only thing that 'might' flash, is a newer stock ROM
Unless anyone else can think of something, I'd just take it to your nearest AT&T store
Hello, I wanted to root my phone, but in the middle of the process the phone didn't want to load up. It took like 10 mins, so I restarted it and it didn't load too. I think it was caused by Android 6.0 or too low memory. However, this would still be ok, I would wipe the memory and stuff, but I cant access the recovery which enables me to do so. I can only access eRecovery, but there are only 3 options: Reboot, Get update from network (doesn't work), and Shutdown. Any suggestions how to fix it? This is a very good phone and I can't afford to lose it (I'm a student, don't have enough money to buy a new one). Thank you for your answers (hopefully ).

I'm in a bit of a pickle with my stylo 2 plus (tmobile k550)
back in 2016 sometime i rooted my phone and everything was fine and working properly, i was able to do everything i wanted to do. For a while now i've been wanting to restore my my phone back to it's original de-rooted state but the thread i went to for the rom indicated that if i used a tmobile phone it may sim lock it to metro pcs which i didn't mind and i took a gamble on it and followed the instuctions i used LGUP and installed it and everything was going fine even shows me the metropc logo/animation on startup but it gives me an error with the IMS that it was unable to start and i'd close the message and it would just pop back up and i was not able to do anything else. on top of that when i installed the rom i opted to not keep twrp installed . that was a mess that took me a better part of the day to figure how to get back on the phone but i cannot use LGUP with a proper KDZ file as every time i try to run it it tells me that my phone is a MS550 and won't install because the KDZ file is for a K550, i also tried LG Flash Tool 2014 and it analyzes the phone go up to 30% jumps back to 25% then says "Required info cannot be found." and just below that it says "Contact the system administrator.."
I've tried practically every suggestion i could find via google and youtube (man alot of those videos were repetitive broken records to boot)
if someone could please help me with this problem i'd greatly like to restore my phone back to it being seen as a k550. (i really cannot afford to buy a new phone at the moment and really like this one)
thanks for taking the time to read this.
Edit: I went into twrp and did a wipe and the IMS error is now gone and i can access the metropcs version of this phone but i'd still love to get the tmobile rom back on here if possible.
Edit2: After a little more searching I realized i am blinder than i thought and found another non-kdz stock installer for the k550 was able to restore my phone fully. thanks for anyone that stopped by and took time to read this.
