Return from soft brick on kitkat - LG G Flex

For the past few weeks I've been toying around with the no custom recovery issue on the KitKat update. Trying different boot.IMG to aboots to different boot sequences. As you can guess I've had no luck. And ive gotten completely disgusted with the lg flash tool and methods of returning to stock from soft brick. But what I have managed to figure out is if you use the "lg PC suite", when soft bricked on kitkat, to unbrick, you can go back into the " lg PC suite files on your PC and get the .kdz that it used to reflash your phone.
When soft bricked I would power off the phone by holding power till it went off then on for a second then right back off again. Make sure all drivers are installed before you plug in your phone. Once off hold vol up and plug into PC. This puts you into download mode. Now open the lg PC suite that your phone installs normally. Make sure you have internet connection. And at the top of the PC suite you will see a toolbar. Click " mobile devices " then in the drop down click " Restore upgrade errors". Let it do its thing. After its finished you'll also have the .kdz for KitKat in the PC suites files on your PC. I've fixed a dozen or so soft bricks using this method. And when I don't have internet connection I have used the "lg flash tool 2014 " along with the .kdz from the PC suite files and returned from soft brick.
Lg flash tool 2014 is posted in another thread on XDA. I am writing this in a hurry in hopes to help others but I'm rushing to work so don't have time to post links to the tools.
Good Luck.

wrong thread

I never mentioned using any backup. The lg PC suite doesn't restore a backup. Nor does the lg flash tool.
So what are you talking about? And a backup would have to be restored through a recovery....which we do not have on KitKat nor is there an option in the stock recovery on jelly bean.
And in my original post I mentioned
" toying around with the NO recovery issue on KitKat".
Are you sure you replied to the correct post. Cuz I have no idea where you got the idea of using a backup to restore your phone.

My bad wrong thread.

Unbrick Revolution from LG Screen

GOOD NEWS! Unless your power button does not work, the Revolution IS unbrickable! After searching far and wide for a method to unbrick my phone from the lg boot screen, I found a way! By now you have hopefully been to all of the other threads and downloaded and installed LGNPST and all of that hoopla so I will just post links and not full directions...here we go:
1) Download and install LGNPST and associated files
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337386
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466655
2) Follow directions all the way through step 11
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337386
3) Remove your battery and connect your phone via usb (the hard buttons on the bottom of the phone should blink slowly).
**Make sure battery is at least 25% charged
4) Hold down power + vol up.
5) Phone will come on and read "downloading do not remove cord" or something to that nature. Put battery back in.
6) If you followed step 2 correctly, LGNPST will now show an unknown device and will be in emergency phone book mode. Under the emergency tab it will ask you for 1) a .dll file and 2) a phone book. Click on the folder icon next to .dll file and load the VS910.dll from wherever you have it saved. Click on the folder icon next to phone book. Navigate to the folder where you have saved the correct .tot file. in the "file name" box type *.* and hit enter. If you are in the correct folder you should now see the .tot file, click on it then click "save".
7) Back on the LGNPST screen click on start. It should now say MASTERBIN and a percentage ticking up (if not you have done something wrong).
8) once completed commence re-rooting!

special thanks to:
mtmichaelson for his awesome root package!!!
jackpot08 for LGNPST
and all of those who have kept the .tot files movin'
I hope this helps!!!
Good post, this method does work as a last resort, but be warned.. flashing a tot file from the emergency download mode like this will most likely get you stuck in "test mode" -- no more usb mass storage (and possibly other problems).
And so far noone knows how to get out of test mode...
All it took was a simple google search...

Broken link to a "fix" that is more of a bandaid than a fix, as it requires you to downgrade to froyo.

Yep.. believe me I searched... and searched and searched until my eyes almost popped out of my head
Nonetheless I'll take test mode over a bricked phone with a fresh 2 year contract any day...
Links for this AND instructions are posted in like 3 other threads lol.

Flashing to v4 froyo tot will not leave the the phone in test mode or rooted. If you can get your phone back to froyo with no test mode then you can bring the phone back, and tell them the phone will not update. I have had two phones already and for some reason they will not take the ota updates. The carrier had no idea I rooted/unrooted and flashed oh so many times. Just a suggestion for noobs who do not want to spend hours or days or maybe even weeks trying to get this phone to work correctly.
Help please
I have tried above and I cant seem to get drivers to install properly
The only one that installs properly is USB Composite device and the LGE CDMA USB does not install properly. I flashed wrong recovery from ROM Manager and stuck at LG screen. LGNPST does not capture my phone. What else should or can I do besides take it in?
drivers
i put both LGAndroidDriver_Ver_1.0_All and LG VZW_United_WHQL_v2.4.1 and they installed correctly is ur phone stuck or can it boot
unbrick Lg revo info
I downloaded the files and had an issue extracting the rom .tot file , How do I extract the .tot so I can use them with the LGNPST.
I have followed the directions and found The LGNPST program comes up blank with no phone info. I am guessing it is because of the .tot files not being "extracted " . I sure would appreciate some help on this one. My phone is bricked.

When you download the .tot file, it should be a zip file. Just extract the zip file using WinRAR or 7zip to somewhere it's easy to find.
If it's not a zip file, then chances are it's already extracted and you don't need to do it.
If LGPNST is coming up blank even though your phone is plugged in, then you need to install the correct drivers or try a different USB cable or a different USB port because it means LGPNST can't connect to your device.

I can't get it to internet connection because i can't boot into anything . It is like it is stuck at boot. also the .tot files do not extract with any zip program . I have loaded the vs910.dll and the drivers onto my computer but the LGNPST program still not recognizing any phone. for that matter the the computer has not recognized the phone , maybe due to I cannot set internet connection mode. The USB De bug was enabled before all this started.
The whole situation of not completing boot came about when I happened defrosted the astro file manager app. Help

I had a few issues with this namely Tots not loading right getting perm black screen, I pulled the batt, put it back in and did a hard reset (wipe) back to stock then rooted added CWM with MT's hlep of course and am now re flashing gingervolt to broken out 1.1 and still puts me back in test mode, even restoring older backups put me in test mode, only v4 seems to work....WHY?
Thanks I finally got it back running with the LGNPST , tot version 7 . The phone works now but I also am in test mode and cannot switch my usb. Question, Can I use The LGNPST and select tot version 4 and install that as before to get my usb back. And if so will I then be able to get OTA updates or will I have to return it to store for that. I hate being stuck in test. What happens with phone stuck in test ?

You'll be able to get OTAs but you'll still be stuck in test mode. To this day there is no known method (yet) to get out of test mode. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but the only difference I know of with test mode is that you can't transfer files via USB cable anymore. You have to either use adb or an adapter for your microSD card to your PC.

Regardless if you have USB debugging on or off if you plug up to your PC in download mode you can use the LG PC SUITE software that comes on your phone, or download it from lg, to revive your phone.
You'll need your PC connected to the internet for this
Just put in download mode
Plug into PC
Open pc suite
At the top click mobile devices tab
In drop down click "restore upgrade error"
If it doesn't recognize your phone you will need your serial number and your device model number I.e D959, D950, D955, D958, etc.
Sit back and relax this takes about 10 mins
This is the only method I use now to restore my device. Works like a charm for me.
when the phone is softbricked and usb debugging is off you cant install all drivers my friend.and phone no connected with anything.thanks for your intresting

Yes. There is a folder on your c:\program data\lg ....something or other folder. go into it and into mobile phone folder I think its called. I'm not in front of my PC right now. But you'll find the folder you need in there. Just put the stock .kdz file in there. It must be the same version or newer than you're on. Or was on when it bricked.
I've even actually pulled the .kdz files from there after I used PC suite the first couple of times. Used them in the lg flash tool.

I've noticed, by accident, when I did the factory reset method \ steps to get into twrp, but for some reason twrp wasn't installed and it actually reset my phone.... And caused it to boot loop due to what ever i did to FUBAR it. Factory reset defaults USB debugging back to off but when in download mode it didn't stop PC suite from "restoring upgrade errors" and flashing my flex back to stock. I've used it so much I now make sure my PC at work has it and the .kdz on it. My laptop has it and I have a flash drive in my truck with PC suite & .kdz on it. Lmao. Yeah I get a little ballsy sometimes and try just about anything. OK a lot but I always have a way back now.
my friend try this with pc suite and it stop in 0%.not run.and my interner connection is very good.why?
I have no clue. Try different usb cable if you don't have the one the one that came with it. I've noticed my flex and nexus 7 don't like some cheaper no name brand cables when transferring files or using adb. They seem to be fine with just charging. I use mostly my usb cable that came with my moto razr hd maxx. Only cuz it stays connected in the micro end better. And I have no clue what happened to the original.
Also make sure you have the latest LG drivers installed.
Sometimes to get the old "offline method" to work I would have to make sure no Samsung drivers were installed or Motorola drivers, Kies, or moto device manager. If any were I would have to uninstall them and the LG drivers. Restart Windows. And re install the latest LG drivers.
So not sure what exactly did the trick but I did all of it just to make sure and something helped. Try that. Don't plug in your flex till after LG drivers are installed and you have restarted Windows. I don't know but seems like what ever sequence or install or uninstall of drivers I've done now works all the time. Before we got bump I would go from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 a couple times a week just to fool around a few days till something I modified or themed would bootloop me and I would get passed and go back to 4.2.2 and swear I'm not leaving JB till we have a custom recovery on KK. But my A.D.D. would get the better of me and I ,..... oh yeah I gotta run get some,.... oh never mind I'll .... huh oh yeah my A.D.D. it causing crack flashing syndrome. Lmao
I am on F340K Rooted Stock recovery Kitkat 4.4.2 V20D.
after changing my build.prop I forgot to set permissions.
Now I am unable to fix permissions through adb... although I succesfully Pushed the Original backup file from my PC..
I have two backups of Build.prop in my phone also.. One in system directory with the name of Build.prop.bak and 2nd is external sd card.
please advise me what to do?. I can access phone though Volume+Power = LG service Manaual (which is shown in ADB as Recovery device)
whereas Original Stock recovery Volume down+Power have an Android Logo with Red Triangle...
Is there a way I can install/ Push Some custome recovery Like Freedom Flex Bumped cwm or twrp to my phone? Fixing permissions through ADB Operation not Permitted or Permission denied error

Help, Hardbrick LG L90

Hello guys, i'm new here. First of all english is not my native language so sorry if i make any mystakes.
I flashed my phone to Lollipop. Then i tried to install twrp (with Flashify) recovery so then i could install Xposed... but the thing is that i may have used the wrong file..
My phone doesn't start. The only sign of live that it gives is when i plugged it to the PC, the pc makes the usual sound when you plug a USB. And it shows my phone as a usb with 63MB of storage (obviouly my phone has more storage). And when i go to Disk admin it shows me all the partitios that my phone has.
Also in Devices admin it shows my phone as: LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM6)
Do you know what can i do to unbrick my phone? :crying::crying:

Did you unlocked the bootloader before flashing twrp?
Did you tried to hold vol + and plug USB cable to enter in download mode?

You probably flashed the wrong bootloader, which is a fatal error.
I know users that managed to recover other phones from this brick with LGBoardDiag as explained in this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/fix-unbrick-lg-g2-stuck-qualcomm-hs-usb-t2933830
I don't know how to get this TOT file, but the same partitions shown can be retrieved from your KDZ in BIN extension with LGFirmwareExtract, I think it's just a matter of renaming the files.

I meant that will lead you to a working download mode, which is enough to restore everything, including partition table.
I have a suggestion, you said Windows detects as a mass storage unit, can you boot Linux and follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 to see if can see all the partitions?
If yes, it's just a matter of extracting the KDZ of your variant and flashing the said partitions to get a working download mode to make a complete kdz flash.

Secure booting error 1003

So I think I may have bricked my phone unless I can get the H811 20i KDZ file but even that may not be good enough to save it. I'll start with where I am currently at. On boot I get the error:
Secure booting error!
Error code: 1003
Modified
I am able to get into download mode by pressing the up volume key or into the wipe mode by pressing the down volume key. However, no matter what I try I can't seem to get it to reboot normally.
Here is what I did to get myself into this situation:
I stepped through the guide to install MM and then I performed the fastboot OEM unlock and booted into TWRP. I then installed SuperSU and rebooted. Then for reasons unknown I decided I would relock the boot loader and so I ran the command fastboot oem lock. I fully understand the stupidity of that thought now but didn't think very clearly at the time.
Here is what I have tried:
Using the LG Support Tool I attempted an Upgrade Recovery which failed.
Using the guide on here to return to stock I attempted the method using the kdz file for h811 10n but that fails at the upgrading your phone with the error message "Upgrade stopped due to an error". I have attempted the retry button numerous times without any change in responses.
At this point in time I am game to try anything.
:fingers-crossed:
Thanks to autoprime I am now downloading the kdz for MM and when it is complete I will attempt to use LGUP to restore it.
Well I get an error message from LGUP stating that I don't have the correct DLL for H81120i installed. I attempted to replace the dll with the one inside the MM kdz but that didn't work.

Oh I wish it were that simple. I had tried it last night but attempted it again as I couldn't remember what happened. I get an error message stating "Connect your mobile device to the USB port. If it is already connected, contact LG customer service."
At this point I think I may just need the MM dll to use with LGUP. I attempted to use an MSI packaging utility to replace the dll in the 0.0.3.23 installer with the dll I extracted from the kdz file but that got me nowhere.
I attempted to use the LG FlashTool v1.8 and found out that the dll that I extracted is ver 0.0.3.21 which is older than the msi version found on here. Does anyone know how to get a newer one?

I had the same error and sucessfully used lgbridge. You probably need to reinstall your usb drivers.
OK I'll give that a shot.
No go...
I uninstalled anything I could find related to LG. I then reinstalled the LG Bridge software which then updated the USB drivers to 4.0.4. I then rebooted my computer and attempted it again and I got nothing but the same error.

I had this exact same issue when upgrading my phone. Didn't do it correctly and it took me about 3 hours before I got my phone working again. It was about a week ago on another computer, but I'll try to recall what I did when it finally clicked in my mind.

http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G4/H811/H81120i/
Download LGUP and install it. I used the DropBox link in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
Remember to install the LGUP_8994_DLL file BEFORE LGUP_Install
Download and install LG Bridge (for the USB drivers) here:
http://www.lg.com/uk/support/pc-suite
Select the LG 815 model, the drivers will work. I only used the LG Bridge to install the USB drivers. Nothing else.
OK, now here's where your phone comes in.
Step 1: Turn off your phone (pull the battery if you must, but put it back in).
Step 2: Hold the VOLUME UP button and plug the USB cable into your PC. This puts your phone into DOWNLOAD MODE.
Step 3: On your PC, open up LGUP. The program shoud recognize the phone as H811 in COM3 or COM4. Highlight it and click the SELECT button.
Step 4: Under the "Process" row, select UPGRADE
Step 5: Click the blank space under File Path, it will pop up a [...] [X] at the end. Click the [...].
Step 6: Select the H81120i_00_0201.kdz and click on Start. The program will push the STOCK H811 MM ROM to your phone. This will bring your phone out of Brick mode, but you will have to go through the entire rooting process again.

Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I changed two things and I'm not certain which one it was that finally made it work but I followed your steps and installed the LGUP_DLL before the application (upon re-reading the original thread for the LGUP program I see that is the way you were supposed to do it the whole time, so much for reading comprehension) and the other was I ran it from a Win 7 VM instead of Win 10.
Big thanks to you and also to bender_007 for walking me through a bunch of stuff and recommending the VM approach.
I did the exact same thing, but I cannot get LGUP to recognize my device. Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers and all. Any other ideas?
I did the following:
Installed Windows 7 in a VM
Installed the LG Bridge software and ran in do it should update
Installed the LGUP DLL
Installed the LGUP software
Connected phone to VM
Then ran LGUP tool

Just tried this, but still showing as unknown device. I thought that was going to work.

What does the phone show up in Device Manager as when it is in download manager? Mine is showing as LGE Androidnet USB Serial Port. Is this the same for you?

same... I think it might have to do with the from that was installed when I relocked the boorloader. I'm so stupid for that.
I was trying different drivers, but none have helped lgup to recognize my phone.

first of all, how can we make PC detect our G4?
actually, even w/o any drive installed in PC, the PC should detect G4 if it works normally.
Device Manager shows my device, but as "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port". From what I have read this may be it's bricked mode. Is there anyone with an idea on how to come back from this?

saaaaame......
model COM Ports

Can't use Send_command too.
MM relocked the boorloader was stupid.
I had this exact error yesterday. I used cdmatool to get some bands enabled so I could get AT&T LTE with an AT&T sim and T-Mobile phone. All went well, and on my way out I figured since I had done the fastboot oem unlock, I should probably relock it. BAD IDEA.
By the time I found this article I had figured that somehow I needed to reflash to a ROM with a unmodified bootloader. This article is great! Such a rare treasure - all of the links to the necessary software and a short-but-sweet guide all in one. This post saved me hours, maybe days, of searching and trial-and-error.
By the way, since I had already installed the LG device drivers (available here) it was not necessary to download and install the whole LG Bridge.
THANKS!
Many times tried to flash my H811 to 20i but always ended with blank screen...is it have to wait until 5 to 10 minutes to get the phone rebooted after flashing with LGUP? Because usually ended with blank screen and qd mode, have to revive using qfil, imei unknown, camera and google play store always closes.

LG G4 Brick help

Hello,
I have a Tmobile LG G4 version that I dumbly bricked. I was on a custom rom and wanted to go back to stock and erased everything on the SD card including the OS. I have tried the LG Flash Tool 2014 method to restore via KDZ in download mode. It begins doing its thing but my phone makes no progress and eventually the program times out. Fastboot mode is not working as I can't access it via Android SDK. Can anyone help or am I screwed? I have tried both KDZ available for this phone. I also wanted to try to TOT method; however, I could not locate a TOT or the appropriate .DLL file for my phone. Any help would be highly appreciated. Additionally, when I go into device manager I see my
my phone under port 41 as LGE Androidnet USB serial port. I went in there to change that to port 41 myself while trying to use the TOT method only to be unable to locate the needed files.
Thanks
Edit: I was able to manually get back into TWRP and adb pushing the rom back onto the system!
You shuld know that if you are on a MM based ROM, you cant go back to LP. Its safe to go back to V10N. However, it sounds theres a soluciĆ³n for you if you can get the phone into download mode, try on another PC. Get latests drivers from LG, Adb stuff and LGUP, then gran you correct KDZ and give it a shot. Theres an autoprime's post, that helped me unbrick my device.
