Hi All,
My droid stopped making and receiving calls, and 3g is usually out. Tried a bunch of different roms including going back to one I know it was always working with, so I don't think it's a software issue.
I also upgraded to basebane C_01.43.01P and that didn't help either. I found a thread on here about returning to stock for the milestone, but I couldn't find info on what I'd need to do so for a droid on verizon.
Any pointers would be great. Ideally, I'd like to do it on linux (as it's all I've got), but from what I've read it seems windows is required.
Cheers,
Alan.
its the same process for the droid as for the milestone. get the original sbf and flash it with RSDlite.
Thanks Daria. Where can I find the original sbf and the current stock rom? Google hasn't been my friend with the rom, I've not yet tried googling for the sbf.
Thanks,
Alan.

Thanks An email to vzw got things fixed, so I haven't needed to downgrade yet, but I've got it ready to verify it's not a rom issue.
The page won't load for me... I'm trying to reach the Milestone archive. Is there any mirror available?
Thanks.

Thanks, looks like I wasn't the only one. I ended up doing the update thru Motorola's updater...
And I now have a nice 599$ brick.
Fvck.
what happened?
What's your phone model?
A853 (Telus Canada).
It updated successfully, at the end of the process it asked me to unplug, reboot, replug.
So I unplugged it, and from now on... nothing. Power button doesn't do anything, and plugging it doesn't either.
If you are talking about Motorola software update, you don't need to manually reboot. It should reboot on its own. I don't know what went wrong there.
I dont have a telus sbf, but i have a SEA sbf. You can flash that and use OR to apply telus baseband to get your 3g working. Interested?
I never had to uplug it before, but it had been stuck on the Motorola logo for 25 minutes... a couple minutes is usual after an update, 25 isn't.
I'd like to be able to flash it, however now it just won't power up. Power button doesn't do anything, and same for plugging it.
(OP, sorry for the hijack, considering it's solved I hope you don't mind...)
Remove battery. Plugin phone to charger without battery. Does it show battery icon with ? in the middle?
No, nothing...
They say LG devices are unbrickable, But I beg to differ. Ive been up for three days , missed work and not eating cuz i just wont give up, I finally got my Verizon based G2 on another network just to brick the damn thing by stupidity. And whats worst, I wiped my modem and IMEI. I tried flashing stock using TOT both the 10B and 11A Firmware versions, But the phone keeps rebooting on ts own like its possessed (xcuse the spelling) TIRED!, Very Tired... Im about to lose my mind, If you could help or know anyone that can, greatly appreciate. I do have download mode and I know almost how to restore the IMEI, I need to flash a modem and Custom recovery but the damn phone never stays on long enough to do that. KDZ Method Im having trouble getting B2CAppSetup.exe to work (say cannot connect to Internet).

The OP stated they're having difficulty going back to stock. That said, if they can get back to stock, I would take it back to VZW, too.
I've never had to take a phone back (knock on wood) but they'd be able to see that he rooted and what not. So kind of a general question, would it be best to delete some system file so the phone wouldn't boot at all? That way he could say it won't turn on and they (in theory) can't see the root?

OP would need to TOT back and then return it. If he TOTs it will wipe it completely and reset the "Rooted" check in Recovery. OP... with no EFS backup you have a wifi only tablet now. There is no way to save your phone at all. TOT back to stock and take it in for warranty.
The other option is to send it to LG instead of verizon. Another user awhile back wiped his efs without a backup and he couldn't get to stock, so he sent it to LG and they replaced it. It's a better option than Verizon, unless you can get to stock unrooted.

I am in India at the moment...i have 3 Verizon G2 phones...SIM cards work fine on 2 of them...On the third one...it does not detect the mobile network...sim is detected ,coz it gives no alert...and when i search for networks...the networks are shown...it just doesnt connect to the network...the sim cards work fine in other phones...in the other G2 phones and in a HTC DROID DNA...so its not the sim at fault....
Have tried multiple SIM cards from Vodafone/Loop Mobile/Airtel...none of them work on this particular phone..
When i search for networks...im getting networks...but cant connect to them...most times it shows error while searching for network...
What can be the problem ?

I actually did this about 6 months ago. Called LG and they told me that if they find any indication that I modified the phone in any way, I would be charged $300. So I screwed the phone up so bad that it wouldn't get past a black screen that said "null". Never got charged

So I decided to change my boot animation on my d959 with T-Mobile latest update. I've done it before and never had a problem but this time when I boot up it starts the animation and then just freezes there. Since I'm on D95920m and T-Mobile decided to get rid of download mode I'm not sure this one is coming back.
I have tried everything on XDA I could find but without download or recovery o don't think there is much that can be done for it. Does anyone have a suggestion or am I stuck rebooting hoping it will get past that point just once.

Thank you for the suggestion but it didn't work.
I downloaded and tried bot kdz from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2644083
It made it further but errors out. I have attached a couple screen shots as to how far it goes. I'm thinking the computer is suppose to tell the phone to go into download mode, which is not there thanks to T-Mobile, or emergency what ever that is.
And what so odd is the g3 comes boot loader unlocked.
It's like the devs for the flex struggled to get the OS to boot then during extensive testing it booted and they said "Hold the f up don't do anything else. It booted. Box it up and ship it out before the GS5 hits the market"
Yes, it seemed a little rushed. Lucky my wife loves me and didn't kick my butt to hard about it. Ended up getting a Nexus 5 and to be honest I like it more. Always liked stock Android and everything just works. Would have liked to have had a bigger screen so I may join jump and get the Nexus 6 when it comes out. Thanks again for your help.
Have u tried looking at the device manager and changing the phone to just adb had same issue and changed driver to adb instead and was able to flash back to stock am now running my own version of stock modified with g3 apps

Wow that's amazing you even ported dialer and other system apps? My ROM on the note 2 had ms ported and it took weeks to get everything working. What all did you have to modify? Do you plan to release it that was a lot of work to not share especially as busy at work as you've been.
Also, you need to get with playfulgod seeing how you also ported the g2 modem to your flex based on that baseband.... or possibly you just changed your build.prop to show like you have a flex. Do you think we are idiots?

I have an lg g2 on Verizon service. I rooted it last week and installed autorec. I just got a Verizon update and when I accepted it my phone goes into recovery mode (team win) screen and I don't know what to do from here. I restored my backup thinking that would allow me to boot up normally but no such luck.
I don't have the LG G2 so I can't give you device-specific instructions, but when you root (and especially if you install a custom recovery) you can't use the updates sent by the carriers, because they only work on stock recoveries on non-rooted devices.
When you say you tried to restore the backup, is this a backup you made in TWRP (aka a nandroid backup)? Because that should probably fix things and let you boot. If not, you'll probably need to flash the LG G2 stock rom, which I imagine would be in the G2 area of xda. Since you can't boot, you'll probably also need to push it onto the phone using adb.
Long story short, it might be best to post this in the G2 forum and see if someone can walk you through how to do it specificially for your device.

I am holding off on rooting the phone until TOT or KDZ is available. I am not too worried about the rooting process causing problems. It's more a concern that I will not be able to keep myself from messing around with the system files and get into a phone not booting or boot loop situation with no custom recovery, nandroid backup or restore file to recover with.
Damn, I wish I never followed the directions for rooting the G4. Now I know there are no backup files in case of problems.... Great

I rooted my phone successfully, but being that this is my first LG phone I stupidly uninstalled key apps that brings up the "Security Error" boot loop.
Been looking for a KDZ or TOT file, anything that would help me restore my phone back to stock. Looks like Verizon and TMobile have their stock firmwares out already, but Sprint is always the last to get any significant software.

Welcome to the bootloop ship, its just a waiting game at this point. But as soon as someone has it, it will be posted ASAP!
1. Did you guys not follow the directions when rooting to create a backup of the initial, non-rooted system.img?
2. What about re-flashing the rooted system.img?
Assuming you can reflash either original or rooted system.img, would booting into factory recovery and doing a factory reset work?

No no no. Do not factory reset while rooted. You'll continue to get bootloops. You will just have to wait until the KDZ is released.

Pardon my ignorance, but it looks like there is a .kdz file for the G4. Will that not work? I honestly have no clue how .kdz or .tot files work, but I trying to figure out the difference.
Somehow messed up my phone using google cardboard of all things... well at least that is what I was using when it rebooted and went into a boot loop. I rooted it days ago and the phone has rebooted since I did it with no problems. I have not done anything with root yet on the phone but for some reason cardboard sent it into a boot loop. I tried reflashing the rooted system image but that didn't work. My phone is now pretty much bricked. There is no tot file and it is impossible to transfer a file onto the phone or sd card(can't mount sdcard) to try another system image.
This is a disaster for me as I bought this through best buy. I'm hoping I can get LG to re-flash the phone and give me the same exact phone back. Why? The plan I signed was for a leased phone. I worry that if I use the warranty and get a new imei number phone that I will void my lease and I have to purchase the broken phone out-right. But I guess if I get another phone I would just be where I would be 2 years down the road anyways.
Only problem is I was double stupid and did the wireless charging mod so I now wonder if LG would even look at the phone let alone getting warranty to replace it.... however, the warranty place probably wouldn't even notice the sticker was changed.
So I have no clue what route to take. On top of all this since I am on this stupid Best Buy plan I can't re-activate my old phone. Only Best Buy can do that. Now I am phone-less to boot. I wonder if Best Buy will even activate the old phone for me.... I guess I will find out tomorrow. If not I will have to pay $5 more a month to change my plan to the official Sprint plan.
If this all turns to crap I might just eat the lease cost, warranty the phone, re-sell and get something else. I am done with this phone.
Has any of you contacted @Sj12345 ?
He made this tool for us over at the G Flex 2 forums and people have been able to restore their phones back to booting normally.
There is a catch as allways... he needs a full backup of system.img from your phones and you have to be able to access DOWNLOAD Mode.
Good luck guys.

Would the tar.gz file or underlying system.img from here work? When I rooted my phone with that image my camera would get errors where the camera has stopped or the device would freeze up and restart a lot.
I'm guessing we need a fresh nonrooted img or tot file. We just need a fresh img or tot file. Can't wait to revert back to complete stock/make a backup/rerun root

But if someone that is rooted and has no trouble with any app can pull their sys.img that would work for you.
