Guys, I really need to find the LG DLL file database for flashing .TOT files.
The DLL file I need is for the LG G2 D80510B_00 or LG G2 D80510A_00 TOT file firmwares, to be used on 1.6 LGFlashTool, for Brazil unbranded variant of the phone. I believe it will work for all D805 models.
The .TOT file I intend to use is LGD805AT-00-V10a-724-05-AUG-23-2013-16G+0.tot
I have scoured the internet for over a week and found none other than in a chinese LG G2 forum, the link -- http://bbs.gaodi.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=662769&extra=page=1&filter=typeid&typeid=2381 -- and the file was no longer available for download. I registered on their forum, but the file was showing an error even after proper registration.
I have not found this DLL anywhere, is there a database for it? How did people come up with the AT&T and Vzn DLL versions? I haven't been able to extract it from the KDZ files either, and the DLLs generated from the KDZ during UpdateTool does not work.
I had bricked the phone originally by trying to use Scott's Clean Rom on it, and it bricked into fastboot mode. I flashed something wrong on fastboot, I can't even remeber what, and rebooted, and fastboot was no longer accessible...
I can get into download mode, and factory reset from stock recovery, no custom recovery available, it is gone. I try to flash KDZ files, many versions besides my D805 one, just for the sake of trying, but all of them get stuck on the 49% point. I have set up port 41, disabled modem, reset phone before trying, selected many different language combinations besides my own Portuguese one. Nothing works.
On LGFlashTool 1.6 it seems like it can work, but it errors at 1%, when I use the DLLs for D800 or D802. I need the DLL for D805. I even managed to find the proper TOT file.
I have also searched for about two days on how to reenter fastboot mode from where I currently am stuck.I even did a DIY Factory Cable on an micro USB I had lying around, soldered it all right, but it did not work, and the cable got very hot. I think these cables will not get G2 into fastboot mode, like it seems to do on Kindle fire and Motorola devices. Maybe my DIY was not that good, but I think it should have worked, I made sure the soldure was set and good.
I am downloading Android SDK to try to get back into fastbood mode from there, if there is a way, as it seems to be. I would try to reflash boot and other partitions in an attempt to fix my phone... Is there a way, or another faster path back into Fastboot?
Download mode does not show the version of the firmware on the phone in the box that displays information in the bottom while fdlashng KDZ files. It leaves a blank line where it should be. I believe it is part of my problem, that LGFlashTool does not see a version on the phone at some point, and fails. Or the phone rejects the PC pushes.
I am almost going to the tech support guy with a flash box downtown, but that would be my last resot, and then official LG support, if all else fails. I don't want to go to LG yet because download mode shows ROOTED in red, and they would see it probably, and my warranty become void.
Thanks for any ideas, guidance or help... Cheers guys.

Yeah, that was the guide I used when I landed on fastboot after a bad flash from CleanROM... I flashed some boot.img and recovery.img that didnt work out well.
After I flashed these I rebooted and fastboot mode was no longer loading, instead, I am now on bootloop of the LG logo, with no animation, just the first logo that shows on boot, and I can access stock recovery to factory wipe and also access download mode. My download mode shows rooted warning, and while I am flashing a KDZ, does not show the firmware version I currently have in the middle of the box - before I flashed those .IMGs, it did show the version.
I now a, after a .DLL for D805 10A .TOT file, and I cannot find it. I think the flash method from LGFlashTools 1.6 will work, with .DLL and .TOT files, where the LGFlashTools 1.0.5 did not work for me, with .KDZ.
Or if anyone knows of a way to get into the fastboot mode for G2, pelase let me know. Then I could reflash some .IMG files and hopefully get my phone back online...
Try to flash other version even this is 802 or internetional version. At least you can proof your phone completly brick or not.
I only have all TOT file link of F320 and D802 if you need to try.

Hi guys, I finally managed to fix it a couple days after my thread.
I took long to post this, sorry, I had some interner problems...
Turns out there's already a thread explaining how to do it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471370
I went to LG Mobile Support Tool and >Options on top right >Update Recovery.
It had to download, so I did it at a friend's who had 50Mbps internet house, to fix this.
I am sorry that I could not manage to do it offline. I even had the KDZ file to flash, but it was only possible through this option in LG Support Tool...
Best of luck to all in any similar problem, I know I was kinda without hope at some points. I spent 2 weeks trying to fix the phone.
Cheers,

Hi guys, I know this is not the right spot to ask it, but it more visited than other.
I already installed this ROM and Worked all fine, but when I'm trying to install some Magisk Modules and rebooted my device it get stuck at LG logo... I can access Download mode but not my TWRp recovery.
Any solution to my problem? Just a little help...
Thank you so much anyway!

Thanks to all that tried to help me! I appreciate it a lot! Thank you so much!
My only solution was to try short the capacitors following this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404
Thanks God I don't need to mess with the board!
My problem was that I tried this ROM LineageOS 17.1 with latest version of TWRP Blastgator. Everything was running fine until I flashed Magisk and installed some Mods, then the device rebooted and I get stuck at logo!
No System and no Recovery access, only Download mode! :crying:
Then I followed this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
I used to install some custom ROMs like Cloudy G2, LineageOS, Resurretion Remix and AOSPX Pie and tried to this new one. I never had any problems!
This time I realized that my device was forever bricked, my last hope was to short the capacitors but I tried all ways to back to Stock because in Downlaod Mode my device was recognized by Windows.
I tried this in Windows 10 x64 but no success, then I formatted an old HD with Windows 7 x64 to try again!
Old Flash Tool get me stuck at 2% or 4%... no success in both system with all LG drivers available... NO SUCCESS!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53313255&postcount=5400
LGUp only gives Unknow Device and never start but it's seens the device on port 41 - that I changed following the tutorial.
My last hope was New Flash Tool but I needed TOT file for my Device - D805 not D802 and the correct DLL. initially I didn't find anywhere... Like this guy:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583851
I give a lot of tries... a lot of different files, DLLs, tried .KDZ and .DZ, only errors and errors... a lot of "Failed to Load()"...
I'm getting frustrated until I see this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
And found this mine of gold of Downloads:
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/
And again, thanks to all, there is a hope in the D805 folder!
I get the TOT File: BIN_LGD805AT-00-V10a-724-05-AUG-23-2013-16G.zip and tried the LG Firmware Extractor (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600575) to get a new DLL (LGUP8974.dll).
And voilà, like a charm that WORKED!!!!!!!!! :fingers-crossed::highfive:
It installed Jelly Bean the with the Official LG Updater I installed Kitkat and finally Lollipop.
Later I'll try this LineageOS Rom again!
I hope I can help someone in need like me!!
I thank this forum a lot!!
And please excuse my English!
Thank you so much!
Does someone has them please PM me I will give you credit$ because I'm in dead end with unusable anymore ls997 device.
I have lost my backup (pre-santa pre-rooting pre-custom roms) it was on my sd card which I formated after a while not thinking.
later I did other mistakes: on my dirty santa rooted ls997 I flashed LS997-deODEXd-signed. All fine but than because in software info it said US996 (yes because of the bootloader) I went for stock us996 10f .kdz using uppercut which didn't stop me because it recognised the device as us996. us996 .kdz rom removed root and twrp, all was fine except I got no service (all type of networks). phone recognises the sim card, but that's that no more (even manual setting the apns and manual choosing the network(can't be retrieved) even 112 and 911 won't work. Than I went re-rooted and re-flashed LS997-deODEXd-signed again, but my service was gone there as well (previously okey). tried other ls997 custom roms, in all of them service was gone. I guess I can fix that with twrp recovory of original stock backup files (mine I deleted by acc). I will give credits to anyone helps me.
You probably need to flash the radio from Sprint using dd
Go here for modem https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3548454
dd if=/storage/emulated/0/modem.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modem

I will try it today and report back thank you fellow.
I flashed (wrong) modem.img via twrp->install successfully. Big mistake as I ended up stuck in (attached photo) green screen after lg logo. Twrp still works, also adb still works when I hit volume down + plug the type-c cable in. Tried fastboot erase system than fastboot flash recovory twrp.img than from twrp flashed 1)twrp flashed other custom rom-no success(green screen still there after flash->reboot->lg logo) 2)flashed twrp backup I created the other day (only boot & system were ticked when I created the backup, they are from working status with custom LS997-deODEXd-signed as it is the same rom on my 2nd working v20) - 2) also went not successfull
3) opened uppercut on my pc but it recognises my device's port but version is uknown therefor can't use uppercut(it won't start because unkown version, pre-issues it worked, also on my 2nd v20 works but I suppose rom must be ok and booted in order uppercut to starts and gets the version of device).
4) I'm stuck. Can I somehow use my 2nd v20 (rooted, twrp ok, custom romed LS997-deODEXd-signed (old one from december),all software and hardware works perfect(including radio I do have signal bars data etc.) to fix my green screen on 1st v20 so if I fix it I can proceed with your instructions for the sprint radio via dd
If you did flash radio then i would try to flash the radio but i have never seen the green screen

If your device has a kdz, you can extract everything from it and flash accordingly. Or I think there is a fix for the unknown thing. My device does it as well.. There are dll files you need to get it to work.

He dosnt have a sprint kdz. Im asusimg hes talking the us996 kdz. Why you would have hit the sprint ls997 with the us996 kdz is unknown to me.. The sprint kdz is not avalible and the version that was leaked isnt in circulation and is encrypted.
---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 PM ----------
Im assuming you'll need more then just system and boot.img
The kdz i assume replaced your custom aboot. And the radio and modems all got swapped with us996 the unlocked version i hope and not tmobile variant.
I have full backups but parts contain things like ur esn imei and cant be shared.. Need more info on what is what. The green sceen is a big issue. Thats aboot crash
Maybe you lost the phone's EFS/IMEI file folder, Did you check that?

yes I used us996 .kdz. Im willing to do it again in order to undo the green screen and unbrick my phone.
your words seems legit yes I assume the us996 replacaed radio and modems that's why I got no service. BUT all else was working, no green screen. AFter that I flashed h918 modem.img using twrp->install->choosed modem.img->swipe to install. Only than I got stuck with the green screen and no re-flash helped. Tried twrp restore with 5gb backup fom us995 nrd90m stockimage (system,boot,chace) with no result - again green screen after lg logo.
If I can get uppercut/lgup reading my phone version again (with dd command and changing dll) I will swap back us996 kdz which was fine (than re-root re-flash twrp and custom rom - all back to square 1). us996 kdz is fine it did not make the green screen, booting h918 modem.img after that through twrp did it. us996 kdz only swapped my radio and modem therefor got no service but that's it no more harm.
I was in the US only temporary, now Im in europe using my tmobile(usa) on roaming(not for long I don't need my us number anymore) and european sim card on my 2nd v20. Therefor I don't really care anymore for my ESNs

Well, i think you have to check on Settings> About phone> Status and here it shows the phone's imei number, if you only see "000000000000000" then your phone does not have the EFS folder, then you have to fix that....

I checked, it's fine, imei is ok - the actual and full one
Update: I'm considering buying another clean ls997 sprint v20 since mine are both rooted etc. My Q is how can I extract the .kdz from the new clean sprint v20 unit ? (As I noted even with full twrp backup images the green screen is not fixed it's deeper issue maybe .kdz will fix it hopefully). I don't mind sharing the sprint .kdz afterwards since I will not use the phone in the US anymore anyways.
The kdz has to be leaked from Sprint....The only one that got leaked wss encrypted and we can't use it...the only way to get it flashed to stock is at a Sprint store unfortunately...it sucks

Lol... As you learned, cross flashing radios is a great way to brick. Also, never flash a radio through DD unless you are 10000% sure you know what every part of what you are doing does, and how it works.
Here is your problem. Your baseband (radio) partition is supposed to be a certain size... However, upon flashing a wrong image, with a low-level tool (DD), the partition is now corrupt and/or mis-sized. That means that another partition is overlapped by radio, or a part of radio is overlapped by another partition.
If you somehow get a KDZ to flash, it may or may not fix it.
The only way to fix this, would be with a very low-level tool, to manually repartition everything in pristine condition. If KDZ does that, then great. If not, then there is really not much you can do.

I'm trying my best to get the KDZ to flash, but it won't let me. Download mode on thehpne successfull, from there on - not.
Please recommend me some workshop where they can fix this green screen and get me going. It's sprint bad esn lg v20 should I contact Sprint and tell them I rooted and soft bricked and can they get me back to stock and charge me for this service that's fine ofcourse ? I can ship it asap since now it's just 350$ piece of shiny plastic in a box.

i get the impression that you didnt actually read the OP's post.
he has a kernel panic, and is unable to get his phone to boot android. the green screen in the very first post indicates as such.
in a small nutshell, OP flashed a file to a place that it should not have been flashed to. most likely, OP has given him/her self a really expensive doorstop.
unfortunate, but a lesson can be learned here. expensive and avoidable, unfortunately.

Apparently. You could have saved all of us time by giving your obviously superior answer in the first place.
Make assinine remarks, expect assinine replies.
This is for those of you that have a S8+ that only boots into Upload Mode and nothing else. When you connect it to the computer it may should say Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. Others may have even told you theres nothing that can be done to fix it and that its bricked! Yes, yes, I believed too. I sent to Samsung who sent back the phone and a 850$ option for replacing the board.
I work at Northrop Grumman, they make B2s and stuff, and they happen to have a partnership with Qualcomm so I set up an account with them, downloaded official and latest QPST, QXDM, and QUD. I was able to provision the device using QFIL (unsure if required), but I was unable to flash anything with QFIL. My phone has been useless for 3 months now.

Craziest thing ever, and trust me, I know, it does not look remotely close to legit. IT IS.
basically, you do the captcha thing, it takes you to a MEGA download site, you download a zip folder that is named G955U2. Connect the phone to the computer while the screen is black and not on upload mode. The device manager should show the QDLoader 9008 in the Port section. Unzip the downloaded file. Open the folder. DOUBLE CLICK G955U2_Recovery.Bat. Do not run as admin, mine didn't work that way, only double clicking. Wait about a minute, when it says finished, boot the phone into Download mode by holding vol down + Bixby+Power. Not done yet though. SO you should have Download Mode on. Now you need to flash the Odin files, which I am currently doing myself. I have noticed a few issues but I have gotten almost there. I can only suggest flashing a BL first of your firmware and then after that's done do the AP. Once that is done you will be where I am at, and I will update once I am able to fully flash a complete firmware.
Downloads Mod edits am not sure who created that tool, where it came from, or who to thank. Alls I know is it works and is a freakin masterpiece.
Update: I have my phone up and running. On official Oreo firmware I am unable to get any network signals (wireless or mobile). On PartyCyborgRom I am able to get wifi but anytime I put a SIM card in it tells me to reboot, and does the same thing upon boot. I believe that my EFS folder is corrupt/formatted/missing. I have read that formatting the EFS folder to EXT4 can help and that it is mmcblk0p* with the * being a number. The EFS thing is the only issue I am having though. If TWRP were able to be installed on the S8+ for Sprint I would install it and format the folder through it but with the bootloader locked I am not sure its possible. Possibly thinking about completely resetting the phone back to the QDLoader and starting from complete scratch and seeing if I can format the EFS folder before flashing a firmware. Anyone know how to fix the EFS thing?
After flashing first the BL and then the AP separately I was able to flash AP+CP+CSC+BL all at once. I have now fully booted. At first, it will go into recovery and then say failed due to something about mounting an efl folder or something. What I did was mount the system and then factory reset. Then rebooted to phone, and voila. I am not sure if wifi is working just yet or what else may not work. I do know I have booted and am further than I have been before and should be much easier to fix now. I'll keep updated.
Would've been better if you posted the Mega link instead of having to jump through hoops.

I didn't want to overstep the original poster/possibly creator feet. I figured if they wanted the captcha then they should get the captcha because I would've never found it directly to the mega link, nor would have you.

there are adb codes to zero it out i just went through a corupted efs but had a backup i made in Flashfire a while back
@elliwigy might be able to help on this to as I know he has done some edl stuff
i can tell you one thing you should NOT do is mess with your efs partition.. itstores lots of information such as imei information which you shouldnt "wipe" unless you have backups and a way to restore it
try flashing a full combination firmware then back to full rom..
try flashing cp and csc files from stock firmware etc
9008 mode is EDL mode. those files are nothing new, in fact i havethe same exact files and more.. if u dont know what youre doing i wouldnt use edl more than u have to as you can do moredamagethan harm and maybe harm even edl cant recover from (yes, i bricked a hard brick in edl and had to replace the whole device)

These files are what got me out of a brick. I was in EDL from flashing a bootloader with Flashfire. Could not get the device to do anything but get into upload mode or the qdloader mode. That's what these files were for, for those who could not get out of the QDLoader thing. And I tried everything from Combo Factory Binary to qualfast, flash image loader, snapdragon flash tool, qcomm, heimdall, qcom, efs professional, DFU, DFS, Samsung PST SW DLL, CDMA Workshop, CHMC PST, Gtran, PSTlite, CDMA universal, VK Mobile, Symbian Flashing Tool, QFIL, QPST, emmc. Nothing got me out of the EDL except that link. And it was just as simple as two clicks.
As for the EFS folder, I was able to reformat the EFS so that in recovery it no longer said "unable to mount /efs" and I could do a factory reset without any mount warnings. I tried restoring a backup of another s8+, doing the erase everything but two folders in the EFS folder and flashing a combo in the AP slot and then a official firmware, nothing was able to bring back an IMEI as it displayed all 0s. There may be a way, I tried programming the IMEI with various tools. I ended up talking to sprint to have them attempt to reactivate the device on my account, while doing that I added TEP (protection plan), in the midst of trying to activate they became aware that I had 0s for my IMEI and advised I take it into a store. I did just that and it would of been a free replacement but I had a teeny unrelated smidge of a crack on the top right corner so I have to pay 140$ for a replacement/repair. I'm sure it'll be a replacement because as you said, without a backup of the EFS its pretty tough to get it back.
if u read my post i said i wouldnt use edl more than u have to if u dont kno wat ur doing.. if ur stuck in edl mode then u had no other choice..
that is what edl mode is used for, to recover from bricks..
however, u clearly wiped ur efs in the process andtheres no way to recover that so not sure y ur still trying to wipe it or recover it lol.. theresno way to recover efs if u never backed it up in the first place.. flashing random files will not magically repopulate it unfortunately
https://www.theandroidsoul.com/fix-...fibluetooth-issues-restoring-twrp-backup/amp/ there are numerous other methods for rebuilding efs folder.

Hi,
Does anybody have any of these files:
patch0.xml
rawprogram0.xml
I have the prog_emmc_firehose_8996_ddr.mbn but only need these 2 xml files.
Problem that is.... I flashed the phone selecting the wrong firmware with LG Tools downgrading the phone to 10j and got stuck in qualcomm mode 9008
Anybody?

Just a word of caution using a firehouse will most likely leave your phone in an undesirable state.

You're SOL, one of our devs tried several months ago with someone else who was bricked and still had no luck. Plus whatever firehose you found almost certainly won't work on an H918, you need one explicitly for the H918, and not any random other msm8996 phone.
runningnak3d said:
@menmunirith If you want to try the debug firehose, I will be glad to send it to you. However, generating the XML files is something you will have to do (sorry, that is not effort that I am willing to expend).
I created the XML file to root by bricking and then flashing TWRP and the engineering aboot, but I have not created the XML files needed to completely reflash a phone (which is what you will need to do).
Let me know if you want to give it a try, and I will send you a link.

Like Phoenix591 said; even with the xml files, what are you going to do? Can't do anything in 9008 mode without the signed firehose loader for H918.
In this post you can find some examples of these files generated for various LG G5 variants.
The firehose included in the rar-file is the same one mentioned by runningnak3d (but it won't work for H918). Just remove the Chinese characters from the link.
So it's a dead end eh.... Why are they making things so hard for the consumers..... SMH!
I know right... Had the same "shock" myself a while back. I'd been dabbling a little with phones before I purchased an el'cheapo H918 on ebay to play with, but those where of a different breed, as I never expected there would be no way to recover from a brick.
I have lots of experience with computers and arm devices like tv-boxes. Been playing with firmware, bios modding etc... Now suddenly LG and Qualcomm tells me I can't even load the original firmware back onto the device.
Just to give an example of what talking about:
I have a fanless mini-pc I bought from Aliexpress 3-4 years ago. Recently it's been acting up with the later Win10 updates, I logically concluded I needed to update the bios, but... good luck finding a bios update for a no-name aliexpress pc.
So what I did was; I used some Intel specific tools to dump the bios and then modify it, updating vga rom, gop rom and cpu microcode. And now I can actually continue to use it. Previously I could not, as it was randomly restarting. Most ppl would have thrown it away at that point.
Now imagine if it was not possible to dump and/or flash a new bios to the motherboard, how ridiculous would that be.
I will not stop harassing anyone I can until I can write my OWN RSA key into the CPU so I can have verified boot AND run my own firmware.
On PCs we can install our own SecureBoot keys -- that is EXACTLY what this is, SecureBoot for phones. We should have the exact same rights. The modem being the ONLY exception.
I understand the need to not have people messing with the modem firmware, since you could crank up transmission power, and do other nasty things.
Simple solution -- keep a separate RSA key just for modem firmware verification.

Ok.... I forgot to mention that I made a TOT backup of this device. (LGH918AT-01-V10t-310-260-MAR-06-2018-ARB01+0.tot) What are my chances of recovering from this TOT?
No. You haven't been able to flash TOT files since MM.

The firehose you have is almost certainly not the correctly signed by LG firehose for the H918 (which is even different from the LG firehose for the other V20s), and even when a correct firehose was used (the firehose for the v20s except the H918 which IS a different key and was attempted in the post I quoted) it still wasn't able to unbrick a different model V20 (presumably judging by their public silence after the attempt).
You have spare parts unless you want to send to LG to give them a chance to fix it.

Can I ask how did you make this TOT, qualcomm premium tool, or something?
Probably it contains the needed files, yes.
If you hang onto it, and the phone, then perhaps eventually you'll be able to unbrick. But you don't really need a dump of *your* phone to accomplish that, unless you erased some important unique partitions.
Would be cool if we'd have a leak of LG factory tools/firehose soon

I used Z3x LG to create TOT file.... the file is still the same..... haven't changed anything. I tried to extract this TOT but it's telling me the PrimaryGPT is around 40Gigs when extracted... I don't have that much space available in my laptop
I'm sorry, it seems you have trouble absorbing the info that's been handed to you.
My last post was not to indicate that the TOT could help you in some way, simply that it contains the bootloader (just like any KDZ).
Read Phoenix591's post just above mine. He explains it well.
And here's my supplement: You told us you have this: "prog_emmc_firehose_8996_ddr.mbn"
That file will not work on any LG phone. That can be determined from the name itself - *emmc* and *mbn*. Those are wrong, the right ones are: *ufs* and *elf*.
Second, there exist no known firehose, publicly, that will work on a LG H918.
Your only hope is that eventually one will leak, or that the Z3x, Infinity, Octoplus etc... Team will be able flash in 9008 mode on H918.
Or send it to LG for repair.
Can someone send me the firehose? I won't use it on my phone, i'm just curious how this all works.

Thank you.
I soft bricked the phone and now can only get into download mode. The phone only has two partitions and I was hoping that flashing a KDZ would fix this.
I'm running Linux Mint on my machine and using SALT an LG type open source program in order to flash.
Question: I heard that I should flash something before the Dec 2017 security patch. I can't find any KDZ files unfortunately and was hoping someone here would have a server I could pull it from.

Oh goodness I'm so terribly sorry I seem to have over looked it.
It's an LGV20 H910
What happened is that I used a ROM that was for another model and it kept crashing. After some time I started tinkering with some other software before I realized that even though I bought the device as a 996 I got the 910 version from the eBay seller.
In any case I remember someone mentioning that if I'm going to flash a stock kernel I should stick to something that was before the DEC 2017 security patch so that I can keep the exploit that enables ROM flashing.
Not sure if that's referring to the bootloader that I'll have to flash or the stock ROM itself.
Oh and lastly I remember someone mentioning that the KDZ for my variant of V20 doesn't have any stock images so I'll have to take one from another model flash it to boot then root it and flash a custom bootloader and then re-flash a custom ROM.
That's probably not how it's suppose to work but it's roughly what I remember.

Sorry darling that it took so long to reply!
My phone is detected by SALT (the open source program developed by steadfasterX) BUT it is doesn't want to work with LGup on a windows system because I don't have the proper .dll to work with my model type.
The LGup log file says
"LGUP can't load the model."
funny enough though the log file shows the model type right after a hex key string.
It says "LG-US996.. US99610d..."
I can get the phone into download mode but the phone doesn't have any partitions right now. So for now it's a paper weight.

every kdz has dll file, even lg up has dll file. you can extract kdz and get dll for your specific model.
use lg up patched version, search on xda, it will solve your problem.
i can not help on linux and SALT, as i dont have these. if you have access to windows machine, than i can try to sort problem for you.
