[Q] Looking for "Custom DLL" (for flashing *.TOT) which Bypasses Cross Firmware Check
Hi I would like to return to stock on my soft bricked unlocked LG G Flex D959 T-mobile (details in my other thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-flex/help/soft-brick-custom-recovery-logs-t2919608)
I see for the LG G2 there is a custom DLL that bypasses the check when flashing. I want to flash the wrong version for my unlocked LG G Flex D959 T-Mobile.
This DLL for G2 was referenced http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2695855 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476. .
"YOU MAY NEED TO USE THE CUSTOM DLL FILE BELOW FOR WHEN/IF YOU USE TOT FILE TO RETURN TO STOCK!!! The reason for this is because some D80220a references needed to stay in build.prop and LG Flash will not flash D800 firmware on device when it thinks it is D802. After you return to stock using TOT method you can use the regular DLL file or keep using the custom DLL file. The download for it can be found in the download section below."
Is it possible for me to flash using this DLL for the G2? If not where can I find an equivalent DLL for the G Flex?
Running out of options!
Thanks,

I was Looking for it also...
Changed My F340K into D955. I tried with both DLLs but both failed
I don't believe so. And what are you meaning by "unlocked" I've seen several peep lately say they are "unlocked"
Correct me if I'm wrong but the only flex variant who's bootloader can be unlocked is the F340. The D959 has not been able to be bootloader unlocked yet. I don't think the AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint variants have been either. So what do you mean by "unlocked"

I am waiting for Official Lollipop update So i dont have custom recovery..
When I volume Up and Power in my F340K G Flex on Stock Rooted 4.4.2 V20D it will go to a LG Service menu with Korean Written..
in this Menu ADB shows the device as Recovery And I am Once able to Push My backup Build.prop...
When I Volume Down + Power It goes to reovery but It only shows an Android icon with Red Triangle on It..
Look my Build.prop file and its back with Right Permissions..
When I adb Fix permissions. It returned that Operation not permitted or Permissions denied.
Yes I can go to Download Mode... Korean written in it
If you can get to download mode then PC Suite or LG Flash Tool should work to refresh KK 4.4.2 on it for ya. And you can put custom recovery on there and root and such. Just flash back to stock when the OTA comes out. Its liable to be 3 months or so if I had a guess

PC Suite also says that no need to update in All 4 modes..
1. LG service Mode (adb recognizes it as Recovery mode)
2. Black screen mode
3.Recovery mode (Android Laying with Red Exclamation Mark) All Korean Mobiles have this instead of Recovery, Dont know why.
4. Download Mode
Yes, I have changed My Product Model from F340K to D955 and add remove some line realted to Telephony..
AS I have pushed my backup file back (some luck) and read it with the command "less build.prop" in system directory and also pulled it and see contents. its ok now..
The only Issue remains is Of Root Ownership and 644 permissions as you can see in the picture, (as For My knowledge)
You don't update. Go the top menu bar and click on "mobile devices" then "restore upgrade errors" while in download mode. It will not flash back in android versions but it will flash the same version or newer if there is newer. It may not recognize your device and that may be a good thing cuz then it will ask for your model # and serial number so it knows what software to flash. Takes a bit to download the .kdz but only about 5 mins to flash once it's downloaded.
As I told You that I somehow managed to push my Backup Build.prop file to system..
This time Tot File worked... LG flash Tool 2014 didnt worked for me. im all three configurations...
Restored 10C... Now updating again again OTA... To V20D...
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!
Sent from my LG-LS995 using XDA Free mobile app
So I purchased a second hand Verizon model G2 and its still on 4.2.2 11a. The previous owner was an elderly man who never took the update. Well, being unlocked I bought it for my T-Mobile prepaid use.
I've already rooted and flashed TWRP recovery and I've downloaded the 39a bootstack.zip file.
What steps do I need to take to go from 11a to the T-Mobile 30b file that I downloaded from the other section?
Are these steps correct:
Reboot recovery
Full backup
Wipe data and cache but not internal SD card
Flash bootstack 39a
Flash T-Mobile 30b
Reboot
Enjoy
Are those the correct steps to go from 11a to the newest lollipop and more compatible for T-Mobile Sim cards? I only ask because I currently have no access to a PC and didn't know if those steps would brick it. Coming from a consistent flasher of Galaxy and HTC phones, this is a new ball game it seems like. Lol.
Advice please
I actually took my own advice and now I'm on 5.0.2 and it feels like T-Mobile
So after upgrading to 5.0.2 I attempted to root my phone which killed the wifi.
Seems this is something to do with the boot.img
After attempting different things to correct the issue my phone got bricked and had to be sent to Moto
Now I just got it back and want to make sure not to brick it again. I have read a bunch of different threads and some have firmware that is no longer available or files that others say not to use
Can anyone please point me to instructions that still work today on how to root the XT1064 and have wifi working with latest OTA 5.0.2?
Thanks

Where was your problem? Unlock bootloader, flash TWRP 2.8.6.0 through fastboot ( fastboot flash recovery "name of the recovery" ) and flash latest superSU 2.4.6.
There are a lot of threads about it here on xda, check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58913714 If you follow the instructions exactly there should not be any issue according WiFi.
