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?
I don't know where else to put this since this phone does not have its own forum here.
Here is my problem...
My vista was rooted and I was going to sell it to a friend so I was doing a factory reset with the phones built-in option... And the stock factory reset makes it all the way to where I enter my first and last name and then after doing so I get this error...
LGsetupWizard has stopped (there are more words but this sums it up)
And then the Setup Wizard restarts.
I then go through the setup process again thinking it will go through this time... Same error message... LGsetupWizard has stopped, and it restarts itself.
I have searched for a fix for this EVERYWHERE and cannot find a fix... I cannot even find the stock rom/firmware for my device: AT&T LG G Vista D631
The official website has no download and the only "stock" ROM/firmware I can find is for the Verizon VS880 and it's counter parts...
Can ANYONE help me get this phone fixed and make it all the way through the LGsetupWizard without it looping/stopping/crashing???
Really need some help from the pros as I have exhausted all my tools/methods in finding a fix/solution.
EDIT: I am able to get into the settings menu (with fast fingers) right after I click OK to get rid of the error message.
I have turned on DEV MOD and enabled all the settings needed in order to flash stuff and put stuff onto the phone via computer USB...
How can I fix this problem if I am able to have access to DEV MOD on phone???
Problem solved.
I used LG D631 TOT DLL.rar and LG Flash Tool.
I forgot where I got these files from, but I am sure a simple search on a search engine will help you find them.
After I got it to boot back up, I used TitaniumBackup and found that LGSetupWizard was "frozen"... So I unfroze it and did the factory reset again and it went all the way through the LG Setup.
I was trying to root my at&t s6 edge+ using Odin. As soon as the process completed, my phone froze on Samsung screen. Then I tried wiping cache and data but nothing worked. I downloaded few stock ROM for Odin but flashing keeps on failing. I read in some thread that new Samsung devices do not support downgrading. I went and checked my current build number and found that to be G928AUCS4CPK1. However, the firmware I was trying to flash were older version.
Has anyone experienced similar issue before? The main problem here is I cannot find the exact build number anywhere. I spent a lot of time searching and finally decided to post here.
Your valuable suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
hey man, you flashed an older version of the firmware? even if it wasnt bricked, your phone is essentially useless now. the efs is gone, meaning you cant make phonecalls or connect to wifi at all. sorry; your phone is bricked. perm.
download mode dosen`t work ?if so the only thing you can try is to use samsung kies to restore your phone but don`t know if that works
I done something similar to my standard S6 Edge the only difference was i was able to start it up ok and i thought everything was ok until i realised i had no reception. I so happened to notice my imei number was gone. I had no back ups of the partition that saved this info so i totally bricked my phone.
I did however find a website that would be able to do a work around ( for a fee of course) for it however it does question your morals as its essentially illegal in alot of countries. I dont want to post anything on here so if you want any info send me a PM.
Exact same thing happened to me... went to AT&T repair center but they didn't have the 'K1' firmware..
anyhow managed to find the latest firmware (gsm-firmware.com)... cost me $4, but the phone is up and running... I only flashed the AP file.. also used Odin 3.12.5..
Here is the issue. A friend of mine had gone a bought a Galaxy Sky SM-S320VL from TracPhone. And had been using the phone without any problems until a couple of weeks ago. Then he decided to do a Factory Reset. Instead of doing the software reset, from with in Settings, he went and did a HARD Reset without unlocking the google account. And guess what, he can't remember the account information for that phone. And came to me to reset the phone. (As I had to deal with this problem in the past with other people and their phones.)
I have downloaded the only stock rom I can find for this phone and flashed it with Odin3. But for some reason the flashing of the rom is never done. By this I mean, the phone downloads the rom as Odin sends it. Odin reports a Success with the flashing. But, when the phone reboots. The system has not been reset and FRP is still active.
I have flashed only the AP, and the phone reboots directly into setup and shows a message about an unauthorized Factory Reset.
I have flash all 4 files in the ROM set (BL, AP, CP, and CSC). and Odin states the flash was a success. The phone reboots, goes to recovery and states Starting System Update. Goes so far into the update, then stops and shows Erasing. After a short time of showing Erasing it reboots to setup. Where again the phone shows the message about authorized Factory Reset.
I have used Odin3 v3.9.0, v3.11.1, v3.11.2, v3.12.5. And I have updated to the latest USB drivers from Samsung.
So my question is this. Has anyone had come across this behavior before? And how can I get past this?
The phones particulars:
Name: Samsung Galaxy Sky
Model #: SM-S320VL(GP)
OS v: 6.0.1
Firmware #: S320VLUDU2APJ3
Model #, as reported by Downloader: SM-S320VL
Note: As a strange side effect of when I flash all 4 rom files. For some reason once the phone has failed the system update, erased and has reboot. I have complete access to the phones User data area from within my computer. But, I am unable to access the phone with adb.
Hey folks,
I'm having the exact same issue as the OP. Odin does a successful install on the phone but I get the unauthorized reset message and then Wifi does not work when prompted on the next screen.
Is there a tracfone version of the rom or a fix that anyone here knows of? Thanks!
@drasnah
I have yet to get any kind of reply from anyone on this. Either now one knows, and is not stating so, or doesn't care.
I have seen the wi- fi fix in another thread.
Modify /system/build.prop:
ro.securestorage.support=true to false
Hope that helps!

First this is not a wi-fi problem it is a re-flashing of the rom problem.
Second, I do not have access, root or otherwise, to any of the system files on the phone.
Third, with the first two in mind this possible solution is of no help.
Fourth, Re-read my original post. I have given complete detailed information as to what I have access to and what I have done.
Can someone send me a download think for this phone i downloaded one but it won't flash it keeps failing
This device has been locked down by Tradphone and Samsung. It gives errors flashing even the correct stock firmware. It's a piece of garbage. NEVER buy anything from Tracphone. Garbage company. You'll never fix this issue. Only pushed updates will flash via software from sammy and tracphone that is built into the rom..

Not sure if that's correct? It depends on the firmware and odin version being used.

Post more details on the error, screenshots, firmware and odin version used.
Need to know if works. Or if needing to settle for a different route.

J3 sm s320vl... tracfone root availability? Just bought phone hopefully got a good one to root? Or maybe someone knows who maybe be able to... please help
No updates? Interested, I have the same phone.
There is no solution for this phone. It will forever be a Trac-phone.
Yes, it nice to imagine what could had been. If there was a fix for the locked bootloader. Its encrypted, and is highly unlikely to be broken by anyone.
Do not flash the boot.image that some people have suggested
Although that method works on some devices such as the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5. In this case flashing the boot.image from an unlocked device does nothing but places the phone into an even more precarious situation, that makes it unusable even as a Trac phone.
While its true that this very low budget phone could had been decent with a custom Rom ,
You will not be able to get it working.
I have one that belonged to my daughter a couple of years ago and I managed to get it boot into the system again.
Its only function is as a calculator, or preschool game, the cellular reception and Wifi connections are highly unstable and will not stay connected.
Now it serves as my nieces play toy. I would donate to some poor person at the Salvation Army it if it was useable.
By the way, for anyone reading this.
If you have an old phone that is useable. You could dramatically help a Homeless people, by gifting them with a phone especially, if it has some minutes on it.
This gift will help them schedule job interviews, doctors appointments , etc and you will feel good knowing that you helped someone in need.
I have done this before, and will be dropping off a Blu phone, and Kindle Tablet this week.

I have permissible SE Status but can not achieve root on this device. Also, I have not found that anyone has had success rooting this exact model.
To be clear my device is the 2016 TracFone Samsung Galaxy J3 Sky model : SM-S320VL
Build S320VUDU1APG2
Hardware Version S320 VL04
I have found reports of people with S320VLUDU2API3 stating that the were able to achieve root and then assumed that it must also be possible with S320VUDU1APG2.
I am usually the guy that can figure these things out, very often before others. But I have had no success gaining root on this device using published methods. Also, I have not seen one example of someone with this identical device who gained root.
You are apparently the Wizard of these Samsung phones, so if you know of a definite way to root it, please point me towards the solution. I would really appreciate it.
I would love to root this phone, get it working again, and gift it to lady who was beaten by her husband and she is now living in a homeless shelter with her two children. She could use a phone to help with her job search. She would appreciate it.
At the moment this phone can will not keep a signal and I can't attempt the build prop solution without root.
Thank you.

See the thread below. Root was gained, albeit temporary. However I believe this is due to kernel panics which may be solved by a few build.prop edits. We had to do the same on the J327T1.

Also if you firmware S320VUDU1APG2 then why not just update it to the firmware that has been reported to work?
I have found one these phones left on a table of a food truck area, screen was cracked - the device was only getting the android guy with triangle on it, I done some research and found the stock rom and flashed it with odin; as some have mentioned in comments above I also experienced wifi issue, so I thought I had installed incorrect rom - downloaded a different one this was a combination file that was the factory repair rom used for testing the device, but wifi worked - it wasn't a fully working telephone it didnt have the app store, well it really didnt have any apps, but I found I could copy over apk files from my PC to the device and then install them, so the phones not completely useless or junk --- it could be used for something. I myself am using that device as a security camera using IP CAM app works great. I was actually using this device for quiet some time as my roku tv remote, because my actual roku remote grown legs and walked off... i havent tried this, but I am sure you could install a launcher apk such as "apex launcher"
well i wasted enough of your time today...
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.
