Well guys i was having problems as most of you guys saw on the the unoffical TOT thread but thanks to @autoprime for mentioning LG UP i was finally been able to get past status 2
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible with what happens to your device when using this program.
DO NOT TRY TO FLASH BACK TO ZV5/ZV4 OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
ATTENTION: DO NOT TRY TO FLASH BACK FROM ZVB TO ZVA OR BELOW BECAUSE OF A NEW ANTIROLL BACK PATCH.. AGAIN IF YOU DO YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE
Requriements:
-LG UP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
- TOT Files:
Android Lolipop 5.1 ZV6 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g4/development/restore-sprint-lg-ls991-zv6-tot-t3213196
- Micro USB cable from phone to pc and Drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-drivers-t3127648
Steps to downgrade
1. First download and install LG UP from the thread BOTH MSI files.
2. Now put your phone into download mode via holding down the volume + and plugging it in to the usb.
3. Fire up LG UP and at first it may say UNKNOWN on the window so what you wanna do is disconnect and reconnect wait a few seconds and it should work.
4. Now it should say LS991 and select it and click ok
5. Now on the window select your ZV6 TOT FILE and select UPGRADE
6. On the bottom of the window there should be three dots click on them and find your tot file.
7. Click start.
8. After that your phone should start progressing
9, Should restart and work.
10. If it dosent make sure you factory reset!! (Hold down volume down and the power button and power then go the factory reset and wipe it)
To fix status 2 error
Thanks to @autoprime
1. flash zv6 and get stuck at blue screen.
2. power off phone and close lgup.
3. boot into download mode again.
4. this time.. instead of using LGUP.. use LG Flash method.
5. make sure you set LG Flash to use "Board DL" at the bottom of the screen where u select dll and tot.
6. should be able to flash either zv6 or zv9 using LG Flash (with Board DL option).
Glad you finally got it figured out...I must have gotten really lucky as I also got the dreaded 2 the first time but after uninstalling and reinstalling everything I was able to get around it...I am bookmarking this for future reference. Thanks again for your and @autoprime work.

Thank you! You are a savior! I'll try to do it once I get home and update my post.
Finally, a sigh of relief. My phone is back from the dead!
Just tried this and it still didn't fix status 2. I get the error, but instead of continuing on the phone, it stops. It just hangs at 0%. I guess I may be sending this phone into LG (praying that they will fix it). I cannot afford a new one.
I have status 2 still.

Weird well I DONT remember what I exactly did sorry guys
Got my phone working did the steps 1-7 above but used zv6, then I went back to the flash tool and used the zv9 tot, board dl and it went through swimmingly.
Im going to update everyone that you CANNOT FLADH BACK TO Z5 OR ELSE YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!!
Where does the ZV9 tot file come from?
just got the ota notice this morning. i assuming its MM. is it pretty simple to downgrade back to zv6 (what phone came with stock). u have used lg up for fix bad flash but not comfortable with the lg flash method. aka open a comand window in lg root folder (method) is there a another flash method in case i get this "error 2"
thanks in advance.
So, tried downgrading to ZV6 from ZV9 and get stuck on Sprint boot image looping. Any suggestions on how to get it to boot correctly?
Has anyone successful downgraded back to ZV6 from ZV9?

So to be clear did you had ZV9 and did a successful downgrade to ZV6 using your steps??
Well, yes, kind of painful since I got stock on the Sprint Spark boot image (no boot loop, just the image) . So the painful part is that I needed to do a factory reset from factory recovery (lost everything )... but it then went ok.

That did it. Can confirm it works, followed all steps in the downgrade section and effectively it got stuck on the Sprint Spark image, had to go into recovery mode, select wipedata/factory reset and reboot phone. Im back from ZV9 to ZV6.

Already have stock mm. Can I still root it? Where do I go? I'm fine with zv9. Or has root not been figured out yet..
worked. downgraded stuck on spark, then factory reset. working and updating as we speak
thank you
I have been able to flash back wards and forth using both flashing tech. Using LG UP and the old flashing way. Don't know why it worked but it did. Also pulled out as soon as the phone hit 100%.

ok, i got all giddy over gb release. Got to work today, flashed the v4.tot to upgrade. The phone goes to reboot, gets to 4g splash, then hangs. I think ok, lets pull battery. Reboot again.... same thing. So i think, no worries ill boot into recovery and wipe data. vol down and power button. Um... no recovery!?! Just goes right through the boot sequence and hangs at a black screen. I'm at a loss on this one. Any advice?
Try pushing the tot file again and see if that works.

I didn't root or have to downgrade but it kind of felt like mine hung at the black after splash for an unusually long time just after the update. Felt like 2-3 minutes but it finally pushed thru. Back to normal every time since that initial boot up.

Any new Rom or flashing will hang on the bootanimation. Could be as long as 5 min. If longer then I would hold down Power+Vol Up+Vol Down til reboot and see if happens again. If still hangs longer than 5 min max you may have to reflash the .tot using LGNPST.

Did you try flashing the v6 tot file? I skipped 4 all together. I just uninstalled CWM flashed v6 then updated to Gb. I then had to do a factory reset because lghome kept force closing but all is good now. I rooted again and just pushed all my apps back from market web interface.

so which stock firmware are you on? vz4 or vz6?
did you use lgnst to push vz4 or vz6 to your phone?
did you try to do a hard reset?
similar situation happened to me last night
i was on vz4 revolt 1.5 on a new replacement > used lgnst to upgrade to vz6 > update to vz7 GB OTA > root w LG esteem > install revotoolkit > update SU
after i updated su to v3.0.* i can't reinstall the cwm so i juse lgnst again to revert back to vz6. when lgnst say complete but my revo is still stuck at the 4Glte boot image then went blank. i pulled the battery and did a hard reset " holding power and vol down til the message ask if i want to reset the phone before i release both buttons " and comfired it.
after that the revo boot up fine it just took much longer because its the 1st boot then i have to reregister my sim, all work well after the hard rest/data wipe

Thats just it. I tried to get into recovery to do a hard wipe, but there is nothing there. Like my recovery disappeared during the downgrade to zv4. Is there maybe a way to push the stock recovery via adb? My only worry is that because I have tried both zv4 and zv6 .tot files, I am no longer rooted.. I think if I cant get into recovery then, I may have to wait until Monday to get a replacement sent to me.

recovery will be wiped and your phone will be unrooted once you use lgnst to load v4 or v6 files. thats what happened to me and i'm able to hard reset without going back to cwm recovery. after the hard reset, i reboot i'll have to reactive the phone.
GB wont complete update if you still have cwm it'll reboot back to cwm and when reboot there will be a blue screen say your update failed
so you have to be stock v6 without cwm recovery in order for the phone to update to v7 gb
I don't know if it would make a difference, but when when I used LGNST to get V4 back on my phone, I let the phone do the Software Update - it updated to V6, then I had to run it again to get it to update to GB.
I did not bother with rooting until I had the GB update on the phone and followed the instructions posted for the LG Esteem root.
Hope that helps.

That's the same thing I did. I was having problems, used lgnst to downgrade to V4, from there I factory reset, then let the phone do the ota V6 and GB, then I was able to root.

I know that cwm recovery goes bye bye when when I load the .tot files.. The problem is the stock "recovery", I mean the one option to hard reset the phone when you hold power and vol down, has disappeared as well. So I am unable to do a hard wipe, and unable to get the OTA updates either.
Hey guys,
I just recently got a refurb Droid 3 after my old one had the backlight go out, I hand't had a chance to bootstrap it and put ICS on it. But I was able to get it rooted. I restarted my phone today and ever since it has been stuck at the M logo screen and I've tried everything I can find to remedy this.
I updated this morning to the most recent OTA update (5.7.906 I believe) and then rooted it.
To fix the issue I've tried a few different things. I tried Pete's SBF to 5.7.890 but I was getting an error about the cbt.bin file. I found that with the recent changed to 5.7.906 you aren't able to directly flash over it to go back to 5.7.890. I then found another post on here which had a script to go back to 5.7.890 from 5.7.906. I ran that and still had the same result.
Any other ideas or anything that I am missing?
I can get into fastboot, I've been using the scripts with moto-fastboot. Normal boot is just leaving me at the M logo, booting into recovery yields the same result.
Any help would be appreciated since I have no clue what else I can do at this point...
seems like a soft brick... should be fixable...
With the phone off, hold me, then the power button... then go down to BT TOOLS and select it ( volume up is the select button _ so when u do that it doesnt go to it?

I don't have a BT Tools selection. I do have BP Tools though. I selected it and it just sits there on the M logo as well...
I've tried a few of Pete's scripts with no luck so far (worked on the old Droid 3 when I put it back to stock before shipping it back).

Your 1 Click SBF ran fine and completed without errors but I'm still getting the same result, stuck at M logo.
Is there something I could be missing which is making it not boot that most SBFs don't include? That's the only thing I can think of at this point.

I'm fairly certain that could work, if I could ever get into the Stock recovery....I'm not able to boot into anything. Going to try a few other things, if nothing else works I'll just take it in and see if I can get yet another warranty replacement.
Thanks for the responses, if you have any other ideas just let me know.
I think the main thing that needs to be addressed is that I need to be able to get into recovery and then I will be set to fix it. Right now it just sits at the M logo for Recovery (and any other options from the boot menu).
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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm not having any issues. Just looking ahead if this is a safe recovery path.

I was also stuck on factory status error 2. You should try TO TOT zv6. The way i was finally able to get things running was first i connected my phone to a different usb slot on my computer.
Then while using the LG flash tool I also switched to Board DL instead of Upgrade DL
your phone will reboot to the AAT Screen – Click OK (Yes, it says not to), then hold down power and press normal boot (+power).
Your phone will reboot and all should be well.

I dont think this has been proven yet. I think you will be stuck on android M until a method is figured out. I thought you were just was trying to TOT from zv5 or zv6.

Good morning,
I recently decided to attempt to root my LG G4 and install a custom ROM. I was able to unlock the bootloader and boot TWRP, but at this point I received an error when I tried to install the Cyanogenmod ROM that I had downloaded.
At this point, my phone is a brick. If I turn it on normally, the LG screen comes up and stays. There is a message in the upper lefthand corner saying that the bootloader is unlocked.
I am able to boot into download mode. I have tried using LGUP and the LG Flash Tool 2014 to flash the original kdz but I get connection errors with both approaches.
Any ideas what my next course of action should be?
Thanks in advance!
Mine is doing the same thing and I am getting errors on 9% on both versions of tools version 2014 and 2016. No one has an idea why? I have done this unit before what out any problems!
Use lg up and the newest kdz (20o). Manually enter download mode and then start lg up. Also you might have to download and install lg drivers onto your PC.

This is what solved the issue for me. I simply had the wrong KDZ. The 20o is the one I needed.
My lg g4 got the fault in the system where it stuck in the bootloader and all I did was us lg up and kdz 10n and the phone didn't boot but I was able to return it and get a phone because when you do that your deleted everything off it and making it to where it was when it came out of the box

One small thing you might want to try first. Open LGUP with your phone connected in download mode. Choose the kdz file you want to use, then CLOSE LGUP (leaving the phone connected). Then reopen LGUP and the kdz file should still be selected. Then click Start.

Have you try booting into download and open LG Bridge, software update and follow the steps it tells you?
Mine randomly restarted and entered a boot loop on the way into work today. I couldn't enter recovery. I just let it loop. When I checked it when I got to work about 30 minutes later, the screen was dark and I figured it had died. It was booted to my lock screen. The weird part is that all of my "recent apps" were still open. I'd taken the battery out several times. It now reboots without issue. Perhaps I slipped into an alternate universe where my phone didn't die on the way to work. #mandellaeffect

Hello,I got trouble connecting the LGUP. It tells me the device model is unknown so I can't choose it.I guess it's because I edited the build.prop:crying: Could you tell me how to rescue my phone?
