Hi. I have a sprint gFlex LS995 with ZV3 stock rom rooted.
I don't know how i have messed up with the stock recovery and now my phone is without any recovery in it. I am unable to install OTA update may be because of missing recovery. I tried the stock zv3.tot file using LG flash Tool but the recovery is still missing.
Can anyone give a link to LS995 ZV6 update .tot file for lg flash tool as i am unable to update using the zip file due to missing recovery.
Please help.
Use the top from the back to stock post. I just used it yesterday cuz I've been on 4.2.2 rooted since the week the phone came out. Used the back to stock and took ALL updates back to rooted and happy!

Ok I'm still new to rooting so sorry if this is in the wrong place or sounds stupid. I got my lg flex about a month ago. i rooted it at 4.2. I didn't know that when 4.4.2 came out it would take my root away. well now when i try to use ioroot24 it cant find my phone after i toggle the usb mode. Any one got any ideas?
You cant root KK yet. If you REALLY want root, follow the tutorial at the G Flex General forum for going back to stock. You have to use the lg flash tools to flash stock .tot and then you can re-root. Thats what I did.
I rooted yesterday using ioroot 25 after stock flash and upgrade to Kit Kat on the Sprint LS995 version. It does it via update from adb in the stock recovery

Yeah after having a horrible update and getting caught in a boot loop I went back to starting over with lg flash tool to 4.2.2 taking the OTA to 4.4 and then ioroot 25 I tried the automatic method first and it rebooted to recovery and then choked so I selected apply update from ADB and adb side load kk_root.zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48709232&postcount=869 check the section under not working for manual root method

Hello. I have a Galaxy S5 from AT&T, but it's unlocked and I'm using it with another carrier (I'm in Argentina). Will I get the update? I didn't get it so far and when I try to manually update from System Update and Kies. I'm worried that I won't get it because it's an unlocked phone.
Do I just have to wait or there is a different procedure for unlocked devices? Thanks in advance!
Same here I have carrier unlocked s5 active g870a at&t and no at&t support here in India .....still on 4.4.2 Stock and didn't get OTA update 4.4.4 and I am sure will not get 5.0 lollipop either. ..kies is not updating my device.....so where can I download 5.0 official at&t update flashable ZIP folder....wherever it's available. .....because I couldn't find 4.4.4 official at&t flashable ZIP folder update till now....thanks in advance

Either way, the 5.0 update is not out yet for the S5 Active....we're still waiting.
I don't know what is S5 Active. My phone is SM-G900A and I've read that it got the update this week (sorry, I can't add a link because I'm a new user).
If I won't get the update because I'm not using AT&T, what can I do? I don't want to root and flash a rom.

Using an unlocked AT&T S5 in Canada.
Can't get 4.4.4 or 5.0 OTA (says no update available). Been using stock firmware ever since I got it.
Any Odin useable firmware I can use?
(is the firmware here safe to use with Odin? : http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/ota-update-5-0-t3076449)
Edit: Also, why doesn't SAMMOBILE have the 4.4.4 update? : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900A/
Attached proof that Kies is complete BS.
(screenshot taken today... two official firmwares after the "latest" one in Kies)
Search for OA1 & OC4 stock zips, there are both on a thread. You can flash them via stock recovery.
where can i download official 4.4.4. Updated (zip and flashable) for samsung s5 active g870a ....it's not available on sammobile.....no at&t OTA Support here in India. ...because before getting 5.0 I should be on 4.4.4 . please help...

Does anyone knows if you keep "the sim unlocked" thing after you have updated? because in this link (reddit dot com) /galaxys5/comments/3qgvom/android_511_lollipop_g900aucu4coi5_firmware/ this guy provides the update file for 5.1.1 to install it from the SD via the recovery, but I haven't done it because I don't know if I will keep my "sim unlock" status...

Hey guys!
I'm in Russia, have an unlocked G900A, I was on 5.0 OC4 and now I'm on 5.1.1. Just flashed ZIP-files through stock recovery. But after update it was factory reset, but it doesn't matter for me. And, I'm unlocked! It doesn't lock to AT&T again!
Just flash zip files from here
RENAME FILE TO UPDATE.ZIP AND PLACE IT TO EXTERNAL STORAGE!

Do you know if the same happens if you downgrade to KitKat (4.4.2 or 4.4.4) because I've found a tutorial to downgrade (mine is in 5.0) to get better battery life and root capabilities.
thanks in advance:good:
No, you can't downgrade anyway. I'm afraid, you can get a brick. So, I highly don't recommend you to try downgrade. Or wait for the guide, how-to downgrade.
I'm on 5.1.1 and I don't like it, because it works slower then 5.0. But I don't want to get a brick if I try to downgrade.
I'm on 4.4.2 ls995zvb I rooted with stump root but my phone is saying it isn't rooted, how can I go back to stock 4.4.2 and reroot and what should I use to reroot.. I don't wanna brick my phone as it's the only phone I have till my upgrade
The downgrade wont be necessary.
I inadvertently UNrooted my LS995 by allowing the ota from ZVA to ZVB. Got it rerooted with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951
Don't worry that it says for G3 and such...it worked for me fine. Just follow the directions that come with it.
You'll need custom recovery. TWRP 2.8.5.0 is latest recommended for this phone. Use Flashify from PlayStore to flash JUST THE .IMG FILE, NOT THE WHOLE ZIP.
These methods got my Flex back on track with being rooted with custom recovery, and updating to ZVB.
Hope it helps...
Peace,
Sox
So that didnt work i need to go back to stock android how can i do this thankz in advance.
I have lg vs980 Verizon model, running on stock kit Kitkat rooted no recovery installed, I want to upgrade stock lollipop using kdz file I get one lollipop kdz file should I use it since I already have once bricked my device while installing cloudy g2 I want to upgrade without bricking my device

Upgrade to lollipop 39b
Root your device using lg 1 click root.
Download Autorec for ur variant from playstore, and install TWRP
Update TWRP to latest . ( for these steps, there's a guide i have written , you can check it for info)
Make a backup of your rom, and u can install any custom rom and experience them before u decide to make one your daily driver.
I just bought a VS980 slightly used, running 3AA stock. I rooted it with One Click Root method and flashed TWRP 2.8.6.1 with AutoRec. Would AutoRec have changed my partitions so that I can't go back to 26A?
I want to downgrade to 4.4.4 and flash the 26A tot file using LG Flashtools v. 1.8 and tot method. I have the 26A tot file and Verizon drivers etc. downloaded.
