Hi everyone!
First of all, sorry if this as been asked, tonight my Google skills didn't help me find an answer.
A friend of mine owns a LG Optimus 2X (P990) bought from Fido in Canada. Currently she's on Gingerbread and would like to update to ICS (which is the latest stock rom available from what I read)
She wouldn't get the software update OTA so she tried downloading the LG Updater software from LG directly. The software detects the phone and says an update is available.
At some point, a popup appear suggesting to make a backup. So far, everything is fine. Once the backup is done and she click the "Start upgrade" button, she gets this error message : "An Unsupported operation has been attempted"
Anyone ever seen this before? Is there a way to upgrade her phone without using the LG software?
Since it's not my own phone, I would prefer not rooting it.
If rooting is really the only solution? What would be a good guide to read to do the update? (I did read a few sticky posts... 1 is the all in one tool kit... it explains each feature, but is not really a guide and I still have some questions unanswered after reading it. The other guide I read, the download links are broken)
Thank you

i want ICS too on my phone, and use LG tool several times but unsuccessfully, it is like that not working or i dont know...
you can use AIO tool, it is too easy to work with it, just follow instruction and install correct bootloader and thats it.

What would be the right steps?
Use option #4 to repartition the device for ICS and then option #7 to flash the ICS stock rom?
here, in this link is explaination how to root and install ROM:

Alright, that didn't help at all.
First of all, I wanted to flash a stock ROM... the guide tells us to install CWM and we got stuck at the part where we have to flash the ROM because it would seem CWM won't take the KDZ (or bin/fls) files.
Now we can go to the SW Upgrade mode without the battery, but the smartflash utility time out after 3 minutes and end on an error.
We can also go to CWM with the battery... but with no apparent way to flash a stock rom.
We're stuck at the moment.
Edit : So in the end we flashed only the BIN file instead of both BIN and FLS. No more errors and the phone rebooted correctly under ICS! Yay!

It's fixed! We didn't flash the FLS file (which would be the baseband?) but the phone still booted properly and connected properly to the cell phone provider.
Hi, recently i managed to brick my Korean F340L G Flex so bad. I've tried almost everything software wise.
-The solution:
I'm planning to change the logic board from a Sprint LS995 model. I think it will work ok. Of course I'll have to some how get an unlock code in order to use it in Greece where I live.
I've seen in ebay some users providing for a small amount of money this code.
So, what do you think. Will it work as I'm thinking? Any comments, suggestions, guides welcome. Thanks
Here is a short story:
"Hello, to all, I'd like to share my experience and problem with my LG G Flex, as a last hope to find a solution to unbrick it.
I know that the talk here is about G2's, but I saw many users reviving their Flexes with OP's method.
So here is what I did in steps:
1)I rooted my Lg g flex F340L
2)New OTA, downloaded, but failed to install after reboot. The message was no OTAs for rooted devises
3)Tried to unroot, but with no success. Still no installation of OTA.
4)Found, and flashed the stock F340L rom , (had an EFS backup), from another user here(.tot file), with LGFlashTool.
5)SIM card was not recognized any more (Greece, Vodafone), so no calls. Did all the updates, but no SIM, still.
6)Hard reset, still no SIM.
7)Decided to flash stock F340K kdz rom, and install CWR. All good, SIM detected, OTA downloaded, but after reboot stuck at CWM nenu. Whatever I do just CWM.
8)No download mode, or usb support, just an LG FLEX unknown device. Got some drivers only to be seen as lenovo ADB device.
9)I found the test point on the motherboard and short circuit it. Got a qhsusb_bulk(qualcomm 9008) under COM ports, but not on a specific port.
10) No flash capability, and no partitions to try and flash the 10 or so, images. Ubundu, no luck with the partition detection either.
11)After many reboots and button long presses the CRW came back...again
Well as I can see, there is not so much support for the korean variants and I might have destroyed my phone. So, I need your advise in changing the motherboard. I found M/B's from AT&T and Sprint variants, to install to my F340L. I think it will work. After I will purchase an unlock code from lets say ebay to unlock it to all GSM networks ( I live in Greece).
What is CRW or CWR?
Are you referring to CWM? The recovery?
If you can boot into cwm your phone has a chance to be saved no need to change the mb.
By the way sprint doesnt give out unlock codes like att. There is an specific process to sim unlock sprints variant.

Yes sorry, CWM I was refering to. Well, since I have no other option at the moment. I'll try to find that specific process you've mentioned when I get the board(help or hint welcome)
As, for the M/B change, no system partitions are recognized in order to flash individual .images to unlock them.
If you can access CWM you dont need to flash the .img files for your phone. Instead you could flash a stock zip through adb sideload or flash twrp through sideload too. Twrp allows MTP use so someone using an F340K can help you with a stock backup and you can unbrick instead of changing board.

The only stock image I have is in .TOT file for the L variant. I also have stock .kdz file for the K variant. I can sideload to /sdcard/0/ directory only, if that helps. I'll try to find twrp.zip and try it. But the main problem is to find stock rom in .zip format.
I've managed to install twrp 2.8.0.0...

Ok, this will take time friend.
I will try to make you a flashable zip of stock F340L KK.
Maybe it will take me some 4 or 5 hrs.

what can we do with bootstack ?

Bootstack is a bunch of files deep inside the phone. They are responsible for turning device ON and OFF, having SIM card support or download mode for flashing .kdz systems.
If you want to use stock KitKat or any customROM (KK or L) you need KitKat bootstack.
If you want to use stock Lollipop you need Lollipop bootstack.
Hi,
At the moment I'm running stock lollipop on a d405N. The Phone is also rooted, and i've unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP 2.8.6.0.
After flashing your KK bootstack, can I immediately flash a custom Lollipop rom and Gapps, and if so will my waveband work?????

Yes. That's exactly for what bootstacks are made for.
If you will have any problems after using those files, let me know.
Also I would appreciate information if it worked so I could mark it as stable.

Thanks for your quick reply,
I see i made an error, it should be baseband not waveband
A few more questions though, before flashing your bootstack should I do a clean wipe?
Also, captivate king says: quote: Flash this after flashing my ROM, and you should be good to go, does the order in which I flash matter or not????
Thanks in advance,

I figured out that you meant baseband
It's not necessary to do a wipe. Changing bootstack does not affect /system, /data and /cache partitions, but if you'll have problems with your customROM you should of course start with a wipe.
There is no order in which you should flash your bootstack and ROM. I firstly flashed bootstack (while being on stock Lollipop) and restarted my phone to see if it worked. I had no SIM support so I knew that my flash was successful. Then I flashed CM.
One more important thing is that you cannot restart you phone if flashing bootstack fail. Also it's recommended to flash bootstack before you boot your customROM for the first time to eliminate any possible bugs caused by wrong baseband file.
If you have any more questions feel free to ask them.

Hi again,
both bootstacks for D405N worked for me, no more problems with baseband and wifi, :good:so thanks again.
I was just wondering, why all the files in the bootstack? Wouldn't just changing the modem be sufficient? I know i'm showing my ignorance, but just when I think I've figured things out, I get back to square one

It's for compatibility reasons. To make sure that everything is working fine I changed all files. It's less secure but more effective.
Hi Xemidra and everyone else.
I have used this for about 12-14 times now, going from stock LP to custom ROM and back, and as far as I Know it's working without any problems.
It's a great timesaver, but wouldn't it be better that ROMs have LP as a base instead of KK, so that using bootstacks or other or reflashing KK wouldn't be needed?
Is it something that a ROM chef could do?? Or is this a CM thing???
Another thought, the modem file used. I've read somewhere that its not just the variant, but that different regions, countries etc. can have different (optimal) modem files, ie what would work great for me in Holland, might be unacceptable for someone in say Brazil??? Anybody know more about this??? I've tried searching for this article again, but couldn't find it. I use google, anybody know a better search engine for these type of querries?

Yes, it would be. You need to contact you ROM developer about this. I can't do anything about that.
Which bootstacks did you use ?

Maybe. I haven't head anything about that. No one complaint about quality of calls etc. I believe that different bootstacks for different variants are enough. Countrys from which I use the .kdz file to create bootstack are random.

Hi,
Am on a d405N myself, but I would stick to the same version aboot as your firmware: D410 v20a fw >>>> D410_v20a_patched_aboot. Stick with what works.
I wouldn't use just any aboot version. It might work, but why take the chance?
If you can't find the D410_v20a_patched_aboot, consider upgrading your fw to v20b first. Firmware is a bit easier to find.
It would be even better to flash a d410 v10 kdz, aand use a d410 v10 aboot. This way you wouldn't have to worry about using bootstacks.
Hope this helps, and stop spamming.
Odd Report
I'm here to thank you so much for putting all this information togetther, although it's possitive... my report should be a little odd, I want to report that BOOTSTACK_v1.4_D405N-10F helped me get my D400HN's (yes, D400HN) sim card running with Temasek's CM12... just in case someone is looking for an answer like this...

Your phone will from now present itself as D405n.
Because you seem like a nice guy I made a bootstack especially for you and you variant (D400hn).
It's not tested and it may be faulty. If you want to go ahead and download it. From what I read your variant has an unlocked bootloader so I included the stock one.

I'll download it right away and give it a try tonight as soon as I get home... just a quick question... should I just flash it over the custom ROM I'm already using? or should I do a clean flash? If it's of any use, Im running CM12 Temasek Build.
Anyway, thanks a zillion for being so kind and dedicated, as well as for the patient for noob users like me :silly:
Hope you're well

It shouldn't have any impact on your ROM but if you'll have any trouble then do the wipe.

Well bad news... couldn't wait to get home and flashed it already dear @Xemidra, as soon as boot starts i get a nasty error that says Error: Boot certification verify, secure booting error. Cause: boot certification verify (and about 6 times de number "520")... And it turns off automatically three seconds after showing that screen, if I try Vol Down + Power, release and push the same combination again (as trying to get in Recovery Mode, TWRP in my case) the numbers changed to a 4 digit number (something like 5340 or so), tried three more times to enter recovery mode and I get the factory reset confirmation but as soon as I accept on YES the phone turns off completely and won't turn back or respond (unless I take the battery off and put it back on)
Any ideas on how to come back to life? KDZ? I had a lot of issues with KDZ before, couldn't get the LG software to recognize my phone at all
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Try to use LG Mobile Support Tool ? It always worked for me. Make sure you really have all the drivers installed.
It will flash the original .kdz meant for your phone.
Sorry for all the trouble I guess that the bootloader was locked ? or it needed to be unlocked using oem-unlocked feature.
Problem when tried to update from CM13 20160502 to 20160506, my phone "dosnt work".
Hello guys,
Well, i was using CM13 for a long time without problem, but yesterday i tried to update to 06 may 2016, and when i clicked in "update" option, it restarted and the screen started to flash, i waited for about 10 minutes and it didnt changed, so i removed the batery and tried to start again, and it just loop in start screen forever, done a factory reset, and it worked, well, it was on, but a lot of problem started, i couldnt open de SD card (once i selected to use sdcard as internal, the worst choice of my life), the keyboard is not working.. i cant use my phone :/
I can start my phone, but cant access the SDCard and cant use the keyboard..
I really dont want to reflash a stock rom and TRY to root it (the last time it took me 4 days to root it, and i really dont remember how i did it, because none of the methods i found worked, just one from a russian forum worked to me using the lg stock rom 5.0.2), i'm about 2 hours searching for a pre-rooted 5.0.2 android rom for lg l90 d410hn, but cant find either :/
Can some one please save me ? I really LOVE CM rom and dont want to get back to stock rom, and i really need my phone working again :crying:
Thanks in advance!
Have a nice day.
Apparently i cant open it in download mode too.. if i press volume up + power, it just starts normally, without entering download mode :/

But i think i'm a idiot, tried to unlock bootloader using v20b version (because i didnt found the v20c :/), tried to install CM13, and got error something 7, well, bricked again hahahaha
I done the process to recover from hard bricked, and i'm with v20c LG stock rom again. I'm searching for one v20c aboot, if someone have it, i would appreciate it
Thanks guys, you're awesome!

There's full 20c bootstack AFAIK, you can use any other aboot to flash TWRP then flash bootstack.

D410hn is different than D410, hn variant is dual SIM and has NFC, its bootstack may have problems with D410. I suggest that you use latest bootstack for your model.

Which TWRP did you use? Try another version, shoxxy's version may cause error 7 with some devices.
Also if you are still on an old version of KitKat you may need to flash the full bootstack to update modem partitions as well.

Yep, i tried with the shoxxy version (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/development/recovery-twrp2-7-1-0lgl90w7xxshoxx-t2826150)
Do you know any version that is not having this problem ?

Your phone's system partition is empty, that's why it's stuck with LG logo. Simply copy the other (installable) TWRP zip and flash it with current TWRP and it should work. (Reboot afterwards, of course)
I have used the DatkBlue version from the same thread you linked, not sure if it will work for you. There is another version by GrinningFerret IIRIC.
There is also a workaround where you edit the ROM zip to bypass error 7, search forum.
Again, no need to revert to stock now. Good luck.

Reading your first post, it seems that you micros may be bad. Are you using another one or at least tested that one for hardware errors?
---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------
Actually the other TWRP version was built by SlimShaddy:
TWRP-3.0.2.0-w7-05-04-2016.img | by SlimShady's for Optimus L90
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995313433
It's in IMG format, so I think you can't flash it directly in TWRP.

I LOVE YOU MAN!! HAHAHAH
You saved me, really lol
Unbriking the phone, disasemble it, etc, is really boring.. lol
My phone is running CM13 right now, thanks man and everyone that helped
Hi all!
First a warning: I tell you how what I done, applying this on different model is possible but require some knowledge... don't try if you are not enough experienced.
My BTV-DL09 had a C100B303 firmware (unlocked, rooted with SuperSu 2.82) and I wanted to upgrade to last version, B310, downloaded with Firmware Finder for Huawei.
But this formware is not yet approved for my device! So i searched a way to update the firmware and found HuRUpdater.
Here the step-by-step tutorial:
1) download version B310
2) rename files (required by HuRUpdater):
- update_data_full_public.zip -> update_data_public.zip
- update_full_BTV-DL09_hw_eu.zip -> update_all_hw.zip
3) download HuRUpdater, I used version 0.3 if a new is available read what's changed.
4) (optional) download custom recovery (in this case the Greatslon TWRP for EMUI 5) and rename it "recovery.img"
5) copy all files to SD, in a subfolder (don't use "dload")
6) install, if not already present, the custom recovery
7) boot to the recovery and install "HuRUpdater_0.3.zip"
8) follow on-screen instructions than reboot!
At this point the Mediapad was working BUT
A) without root
B) with a "half" lock: the bootloader says it's unlocked but refused to flash or boot a custom recovery.
Problem B: I had to re-unlock the booloader with command
fastboot oem unlock 12345678901234567980
I accepted that my data will be erased (I have a backup, you too???) and the Mediapad rebooted.
I was lucky because the data was not erased and the bootloader now was fully unlocked. I'm not sure if this works for all of you so backup your data before. (***)
Problem A: not the custom recovery is booting so I flashed Magisk 15.3 (I had this version on other devices and don't wanted to do more testing for that day). It installed correctly, rebooted and
that's all folks!
(***) Here the enlightenment: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78194270&postcount=1029 from @zxz0O0
In short: flash also the custom recovery!
I have a M3 that can only boot up to twrp. I am trying to fix this tablet, since the previous owner accidentally erased the system partition, and it will not load. I did a search using the firmware finder, but wasn't sure I did it right, alot of versions came up. I do not know what software version was on it, before it got messed up. All I know is that it was bought less than two months ago. I was hoping someone could post a direct link to the firmware that I could use to get this tablet up and running again. the original owner lives in the US, as do I. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

First you need to know the exact model. One method can be this:
0) insert an SD card
1) boot the TWRP
2) open the terminal
3) execute the command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/oeminfo of=/external_sd/oeminfo.img
this will copy the OEMINFO partition to the SD card.
4) open the oeminfo.img file with a hex editor and search for "BTV", do not stop to the first occurrence: there are some and you will find the exact firmware code that was installed.
5) search a FULL firmware with FW finder than flash it!

Hello. I messed up my M3 trying to update and now Bluetooth does not work.
My firmware shows in Settings as "testkeys", so I don't really now what firmware is, probably B302 since security patch is from November 2017.
I am trying to flash full firmware again and do a full wipe. I tried to do it via TWRP and eRecovery too, but both methods fail.
I also tried the method the OP mentioned with no luck either (maybe because mine is the WiFi-only European version).
What should I do? How do I go back to stock? I don't care if I lose my data or if I have to relock bootloader again, I just want my M3 to work properly again!

Ahi, ahi... you are unable to discriminate what is the device model (BTV-W09) from the firmware version (BTV-W09C100B006). So you are not enough experienced nor skilled... Search someone that can help you offline!

I may be not enough experienced nor skilled but I've been unlocking, rooting and changing roms to my phones since Android 2.1 era, that was many years ago as you know.
I know that the model is BTV-W09, I just said that OEMINFO says BTV-W09C100B006 when searching "btv" with an hex-editor following YOUR instructions from your earlier post.
Anyway, thanks for nothing, I finally found a solution by myself writing the required images one by one trough ADB.
Have a nice day.
I had to have messed up something quite well, I ran the updater, everything seemed to go fine, but when I rebooted, it wont go off the Huawei MediaPad android screen, and I can not get it back into TWRP , or get it to do anything else, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Model?
Firmware previously on tablet?
Firmware that you installed?
Which files you used?
The update procedure was successfully or there was some message?
Model number is BTV-W09
Do not know the original firmware, but I apparently read the model number wrong when I looked it up. I used BTV-DL09. TWRP said install was a success ( I used the HuRUupdater thru TWRP) The files used was the full OTA , the update_full_BTV-DL09_dialcu_cn.zip, as well as the update_data_full_public.zip. I changed the file name to the names that were needed to run HuRUpdater. So my question is does anyone know how to fix my mistake?
I was able to get it into fastboot mode, but it said the phone was locked, and was not picked up by my computer.

NEVER install the software for one model on a different hardware. NEVER!
What TWRP says it's not important: it only wrote some files on a disk but it's not of interest what is inside these files.
You have to flash an appropriate firmware, no other options.
how can I flash the the firmware, if I no longer have TWRP, or when I can get into flashboot mode, the computer does not recognize the tablet? . Here is a probably stupid question: do I look for BTV-W09, which is the model of MY tablet?

You have to unpack the firmware and flash the partition images with flashboot.
Search the forum for "Huawei Update Extractor".
which of these are the partition images? Second stupid question, I tried to get in to fastboot, but the computer would not recognize the tablet

All of this are partition images!
The problem is that you have to write all relevant partitions that was written from bad firmware!
Often boot.img is enough to have TWRP working.
What about if I can't get the computer to recognize the tablet in fastboot mode?
