Hi all
This problem that I have is pissing me off so much. I rooted my phone and then unrooted it, and then my Android Market icon was missing. Now, whenever I want to do a factory reset, the phone goes back to ClockworkMod Recovery every single time. I want to get rid of this CMR. Also, I've tried to stock original rom on my phone but it does not work at all. What is happening? My phone is LG Optimus 2x P990. But I always get this error where I can't apply the DLL file. This really annoying me right now. I've tried everything and NOTHING works. I regret rooting my device.
Please help me thanksss

You can flash the original image using SmartFlash.
Get your original Firmware image from here. The instructions for SmartFlash are here
how to flash the zip
sorry I am completely new to this. How do I apply the zip? Do I boot into recovery mode and install zip from there? I have done this with other zip files before and it always ended with:
'installation aborted'
im trying it now, but its stuck at:
'Restoring stock recovery image'
smart flash
smart flash doesn't work for me. I always get this time out error.. I really don't know what to do now. The recovery stock file did install but then I chose 'reboot system now' in CWM and it got stuck with the LG logo. Now, it's back to ClockWork Recovery Mod again!! i don't understand. Please help.. Many thnks
what type of error?
your device-manager on your pc recognizes your 2x, when you connect it as described in the instructions?
THis is the error:
00:00.0 Sec ownload Start...
00:07.5 Sec :We can't communicate with specific port
and now, I can't start my phone. It gets stuck on LG logo. I tried the remove CWM method, it worked but when I rebooted my phone, my phone would not start at all. P. Please help.
yep it recognises it but it always gets this time out error... what should I do? Please help.. Many thanxx
Does the COM port get detected automatically when you plugin the phone ?

Same with me. Go on trying at some point it will work. It happens with me everytime i flash with smartflash. Myself also waiting for a definite solution to this problem. i think the problem lies with usb drivers. I also tried with taking out card and sim but cannot pinpoint the problem. Any successful flasher may upload the drivers. Moreover i also disabled programmes like antivirus etc running in background. Waiting for a more definite problemfree flashing solution.
I think, install drivers to smartflash, no other drivers, and later smartflash.

Have you attempted to flash the device back to .902 using RSD Lite? You will need to enter the bootloader(hold the PWR + Vol up + Vol Down), then select AP Fastboot -> Open RSD Lite(make sure you have the drivers installed) -> Plug in your phone -> verify RSD Lite sees your device -> Now select the file -> Then select Decompress and Flash. Note: if you flashed to .235 Leak you are pretty much f'd, also when flashing I would recommend against using any front panel USB ports.....

you need android sdk installed

you need android sdk installed download the rom you have installed and extract it to the android directory (c:\users/appdata/local/android/platformtools. once you have the grfs.img file inside the android folder, hold shift and right click inside the android folder and choose open command prompt here, at the command prompt type fastboot flash webtop grfs.img this will reinstall webtop
and enable you to access your phone again.

My phone is stuck in only showing the Fastboot page. Basically, I am trying to turn my device into Verizon. I had it compelety updated (so probably JB) but was running CM 11. I wiped the cache and /system and it would go past the splash to a grey screen. I tried RSDing it and now I am stuck in the Fastboot.

Reinsert the battery once you're in S/W Upgrade mode.
i messed up my lg with installing ICS,now when i turn on the mob everything is blocked,picture of android is v10 and version inside is v30,i can charge it and i can get in s/w update mode. i tried smartflash but it goes to download complete but mob. wont reboot just turns on lg logo,i tried kdz updater but when i press upgrade start and normally its supposed to ask me which country to choose so i can put different country in my case it goes automaticlly to update. i have teamviewer 8 if maybe someone has time to help me so i dont have to take it to service(no money). thanks
now in lgmobile tool i did phone recovery and after i turn lg on on version it sais v10a and it sais i can start update to gingerbread and when i start on update on 15% it stops,any help?
after error i put manually in s/w update mode and it went all the way,it sais gingerbread installed but cell want reboot and when i turn it on there is no change.
on 90% of update on cell comes lg sign and stayes like that
hey man sorry for the late, I'm a little busy
just a question, when you flash a patched firmware, can you access to the recovery ? if yes, that's all, from there just do a wipe of datas (flash superuser if root is needed) and reboot. done.
no problem its never late, unfortunately not,thats was i am trying to do,i know i need to come to recovery but so far i didnt manage
which firmware did you try ? (give a link if possible)
unfortunately i am at work but i dowloaded v10a from, http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1
these from that site are not patched, but stock...
download this (run to extract binaries) and follow my pdf guide if you have already the upk package
edit : or follow this online guide
ok i will try with this,can you just tell me will i try with kdz updater or with smartflash?
smartflash of course.
kdzu is obsolete since LG has restricted this method (there is a way though, but more complicated)
i have upk ofcourse,i tried so many combinations,maybe i tried even v20s patched but i will give it a go tonight after 10 p.m. when i get home and i will post results,thanks for now Ilko
Ilko this stock v30 recovery,would that maybe help in my case?
If you need a reset, it won't help,because as said before, ICS stock firmwares don't have recovery
From my funky phone
here i am,i tried,download went ok but cell is stuck on lg logo
with vbscript i managed to run r&dtt and change country to diferrent but on 90% always cuts me off,i noticed in device manager that it cuts usb connection,i know that i must put cell on usb debbuging mode but i cant when my cell is completely locked when its turned on,is there any solution for this or we can say i can through it away??
well, I don't know what to say friend. if smartflash fails, other ways will fail too. you may try r&dtt with the shttp tip. I'm afraid this is the last chance
Hmmm, what if he tries to flash a stock ICS? Since SFT tries to reboot in recovery mode, it will wipe data, and maybe will help...
As long as it doesn't drop the usb connection, of course
Sent from my LG-P970 using Tapatalk 2
i used v30b and sft download complete and it turned on lg logo and stays like that,no reboot, with shttp tip i tryed again but it always cuts me out on 90 %, do you guys know if i take it to a special shop for mobile they could reset it with some special cable or something????
when download on smartflash completes usb immediately disconects me and than cell can not reboot,smartflash automaticlly finds a com port,do i need to do something manually with installing drivers or something?????
NOTICE: ZV6 or higher Users - Received reports that attempting to revert to ZV5 may brick your device.
Recommend holding off for now, will try to get ZV6. (Also attempting to confirm.)
OK, I know folks have been in need and an anonymous source has been kind enough to share.
Here is the TOT for LS991 ZV5. I'm passing it on to @autoprime who will be adding more below on how to use it.
Please make sure to give Team Codefire a huge thanks for what they do with LG devices.
It's one thing to get restore files, it's a completely different (and much more challenging) one to do things like root it.
Cheers!
ZV5 TOT is out!
Don't use this TOT if you are on ZV6 or higher.. you will brick.
Thanks to an anonymous donor and to @garwynn we now have the ZV5 TOT. No more soft bricks! I have also broken down the TOT and uploaded the individual partitions.
Changelog:
Fix for Google Factory Reset Protection issue that does not allow user to bypass WiFi after performing a ##RTN on the device. User can now bypass WiFi
LG has also implemented a touchscreen enhancement into the software
ZV5 also updates the bootloader version from v0 to v1.
--TOT can be downloaded *HERE*
For those familiar with LG's.. this is flashed the same way as previous models... LG OG, G2, G3 etc etc.
1. Download LG Flash Tool. Swap the included mega.dll (click here to see video)
2. Download the LGFLASH_LG_G4_CODEFIRE.dll
3. Download the ZV5 TOT and unzip it.
4. If LG drivers are not already installed, download and install them.
5. Place phone into download mode
6. Set phones serial COM port to COM41 in Windows Device Manager. Unplug USB cable then plug it back in.
7. Run LG Flash Tool.
8. Select LGFLASH_LG_G4_CODEFIRE.dll for DLL, LS991ZV5_05.tot for TOT and check off "BOARD DL"
9. Hit OK to continue. Now hit the yellow start button. LG Flash Tool should now perform a CRC check on the TOT.
10. Unplug the USB cable again then plug it back in... wait 5-20 seconds and hopefully the flash should now start.
When it finishes it'll boot into miniOS. Hold the power button then press the "Normal Boot" option on the screen.
The above steps are "to the point" and there's not much hand holding so new LG flashers may be a bit confused. Feel free to ask questions in this thread and hopefully other users will chime in and assist with specific questions. But for extra help here is a how-to video going over the process. Only differences is phone model and TOT/DLL files used... rest can be applied.
Also here is a G4 Return to Stock thread... the lower section of the OP has step by step directions and screenshots for the entire LG Flash install process and TOT flash.
--Individual ZV5 partitions to flash manually can be downloaded *HERE*
Stock system.img is not included in that list due to redundancy. The stock rooted ZV5 system.img can be found in the Low Effort Root thread.
--ZV4-to-ZV5 OTA update.zip *NOTYETAVAILABLE*
This was links somewhere previously... I'll have to look for it again.
You must be on ZV4 and have a stock recovery and stock system partition for this to work.
Directions:
1. Rename downloaded .zip into update.zip
2. Remove USB cable from phone.
3. Power phone off.
4. Press and hold volume down + power until you boot into stock recovery.
5. Select "update with adb"
Code:
adb sideload update.zip
Alternate Directions to skip using ADB (needs microSD card):
1. Format microSD card as EXT4.
2. Rename downloaded .zip to update.zip
3. Move update.zip onto external SD card. EZ way would be to stick SD card in phone then connect phone to PC and use MTP.
4. Power off and boot into stock recovery (vol down + power)
5. Select the Update from SDCARD option.

thank you so much, whoever leaked this!
and of course OP and codefire..
:highfive:
You guys are awesome!
Edit: Getting a 403 Forbidden on the LGFLASH_LG_G4_CODEFIRE.dll
All fixed! Thanks autoprime!
Went through everything, after rebooting at the end of th LG Flash Tool, phone rebooted to Factory Reset Status 2, blue screen.
UPDATE 1: Now the LG Flash Tool is not even starting to flash. The phone is back in DL mode and eveything is as it should be, but the flash tool is not doing anything
UPDATE 2: Switched USB ports, oddly that made LG Flash Tool Work. USED BOARD DL AND IT WORKED.
Instructions for Linux?
Which TOT file should be used? The one posted by garwynn (1.59GB) or Autoprimes? (1.98GB) TOT? whats the differences?

I'm fairly certain they're the same, they're just using different compression methods (.7z in garwynn's post, .zip in autoprime's). .7z is a better method of compression, thus the smaller file size. The .tot files should be the same size when extracted.
Any way of using this TOT method after flashing the US991 firmware(I mistakenly flashed it thinking it's the KDZ for Sprint)? I keep getting "DoDownload Error!!!"

run windows in a virtual machine. or find a windows computer. or reverse LG's download mode protocol, extract the tot and find a way to flash it over a serial connection in linux.

Try flashing the rooted Sprint system.img thru download mode.. just as if you were rooting. putting sprint system.img on the phone might get around the error. actually... as I'm typing this.. you might be able to just edit the build.prop in the us991 rom. if you use a build.prop editor make sureyou also have busybox installed or many buildprop apps wont actually work. and you'll need root to edit build.prop of course.
if no root.. might as well just flash the rooted sprint system.img tho. see how that goes.
Thanks for this! I've been waiting almost a month! So happy it's finally out!!
Quick question; my phone is rooted and has been running xposed for weeks no problem. Today, the phone randomly rebooted and has since been in a boot loop that sometimes ends with "secure boot error error 1006" in top left corner of the android boot screen a second then restarts. I believe can still enter download mode to the point where it asks to "update firmware, do not unplug..."but sometimes I get the secure boot error here as well.
I assume I should attempt to fix this with the tot? Anyone else have any suggestions? I don't want to mess the phone up further if there are easier ways to fix this.

Nope. Use the tot and restore it then root it again.
If you've never used a tot or lg tools to restore am LG device it's very easy and won't take long at all.

After I completed the tot I attempted to reboot. I now have an security error 1007 error code in the top left and also a security error; authentication problem #9.
Edit: I pulled the battery and now it seems Android is starting and doesn't show the error code but freezes shortly after boot before it restarts itself?
I assume I have to reroot it to get around this error code as well but I am unable to enable mtp or usb debugging before it restarts

At the end of flashing the TOT with the Lg Tool you may have been on the screen where you have to "press normal + reboot* hopefully that's the option you pressed. IF you haven't a clue what I am talking about, then you for some reason got a different screen.
Once you use the TOT file and restore using the LG Tool (and the tutorial mentioned) you should be fully back to stock like you just got the phone, without any issues. Did you make sure you chose BOARD at the bottom left of the Manual selection of the dll & added the tot?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I responded in PM but yes, I used BOARD and I was able to get to the MiniOS screen where you hold power and select normal + reboot. It's after rebooting where it continues to a) boot loop till a blank screen appears and only a battery pull can trigger another boot B) Gets to android but then freezes before I can even activate C) Shows secure boot error code 1007 or Security error; authetication code #9 and prevents the boot.
The upgrade method triggers the same blue screen as others have mentioned. I really don't know what went wrong with the phone in the first place, I had been rooted and using xposed without any new apps or updates for the last couple of weeks. The phone literally rebooted while it was charging and hasn't been right since even after using the tot.
I may try my other computer for just to test -> Just tried and same thing happened; either boot loops, security error, or makes it past the Sprint Spark screen and android is starting screen before freezing.
Has anyone successfully restored TOT? Seems like a lot of folks are having issues.
Jessooca said:
I have. I tested the file just to make sure it worked. What issue are YOU having?
It's honestly a fairly simple procedure. You can watch this video (I believe it's also mentioned in the beginning of this thread)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WgXuxDbmbc Pretty much all you need is from 2:45 and on in the video.
Just be sure to select BOARD at the bottom of the screen, when selecting the dll and adding the tot file. At times people have forgot to change it from upgrade to Board.
-After it's finished
Pull the battery, hold Volume UP and Power, let go of Power on the LG Logo screen as mentioned for one second, Press power again while continuing to hold Volume Up and you'll get into recovery, do a wipe and reboot. It should fix any other issues.
