Lot of us root our 4.2.2 and flashed a freedom recovery and were very happy until we come to know the fact that we cannot update to Kitkat any more.
some successfully flashed the KDZ in a normal flash way but others were the victims of CDC serial driver.
that was the HISTORY
Lets catch the ear from the other way round.
this is a TOT flash method which says bye bye to cdc driver
i'm going to share the link of the guy who did all the hard work i'm only the contributing some of my efforts here.
the link
http://www.lgbbs.net/thread-3-1-1.html
this link will give a detail tutorial. if you allready flashed all the drivers, do not do it again.
you can download the TOT file from here
https://mega.co.nz/#!7wBnkCKR!zT19XISIhlrP3-ZN24TF5RFeFVOt1vOlOHdPl-lYE4o
DLL file is attached in the post.
LG Flashtool 2014 sometimes becomes headache to find on the net. good news! file attached follow the installing instructions
https://www.dropbox.com/s/da13ysxmhikxpdc/LGFlashTool_1.8.1.1023.zip?dl=0
those unfortunate you can't get into download mode, somehow have to fix that first. no download mode, no flash.
Happy flashing guys of D958 varient.
ENJOY KITKAT
other varients who are struggling with 4.2.2 JB, try and get your TOT file
it should be something like this. cut past the file link in google and see if you can find your download
http://www.vungoc-mobile.com/index.php/section-blog/53-use
PS: copy both dll and tot file in
c:/lg/flashtool folder
Where to put that dll?

Can someone send here a pic of good download mode please
[/COLOR]Can someone send here a pic of good download mode please[/QUOTE]
there is no good download mode or bad download mode. simply download mode
switch off the mobile, keep volume up pressed and put the usb cable untill download mode appears.
Thank you for tutorial
Why couldn't you take updates? Is it just the D958?
please re share tot file
Hi, I am happy to see that discussions about Flex are not dead! I am one of the unfortunate guys who have got no more download, no more recovery. I understood that the only way to fix it is to force the phone into an almost-bricked state by shorting some pins, then to deal directly within the internal sdcard. Is there anybody who can teach me WHAT to short? A photo with be great.

I possibly found that the lg g4 can connect a serial console when in fast-boot and android with limited access, and that the boot-loader is based on little kernel
codeaurora.org/blogs/little-kernel-based-android-bootloader
It may be possible to connect uart via serial and map out how the bootrom loads the sbl and (aboot (bootloader))and possibly find a way to unlock the boot-loader
newandroidbook.com/Articles/aboot.html
so far acessing fastboot with a nuked laf partition only specific fastboot commands work. can not get oem-id or reboot/continue via fastboot

Try posting this in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/unlock-technical-steps-to-make-unlocked-t3165391
Or even the general G4 forum; the audience appears bigger and you'll probably be able to get more brains taking a look at this!
It's quite interesting.
Dude, I was literally coming here to see if anyone had tried anything like USB serial console the way you'd do with like a raspberry pi or a more recent thin client and found this thread with the search feature.
I'm glad to see that it does, in fact, work. I was about to pitch the theory, but it seems you've not only arrived at the same theory, but have tried it yourself. +thanks for posting the results dude. Much appreciated. Hopefully this will lead to some kind of progress otherwise I'm just going to use an upgrade to get something else and sell my G4. I'm really getting tired of the total lack of ROMs. This isn't 2008 where only a couple carriers have Android phones and the developer base is tiny. What company thinks it's SMART to create only one model that can have the bootloader unlocked and then NOT make that model available on all carriers at the off-contract price?!
I'm guessing there is no way to edit the LK, and implement these changes to re enable fastboot commands without it throwing some type of error due to the fact of it not being signed? -
To selectively enable any fastbootcommand on user/production build, add the command as shown below:
File: bootable/bootloader/lk/app/aboot/aboot.c
Function: void aboot_fastboot_register_commands(void)
structfastboot_cmd_desccmd_list[] = {
/* By default the enabled list is empty. */
{““, NULL},
/* move commands enclosed within the below ifndefto here
* if they need to be enabled in user build.
*/
#ifndefDISABLE_FASTBOOT_CMDS
/* Register the following commands only for non-user builds */
{“flash:”, cmd_flash},
{“erase:”, cmd_erase},
{“boot”, cmd_boot},
{“continue”, cmd_continue},
{“reboot”, cmd_reboot},
{“reboot-bootloader”, cmd_reboot_bootloader},
{“oemunlock”, cmd_oem_unlock},
{“oemlock”, cmd_oem_lock},
{“oemverified”, cmd_oem_verified},
{“oemdevice-info”, cmd_oem_devinfo},
{“oemenable-charger-screen”, cmd_oem_enable_charger_screen},
{“oemdisable-charger-screen”, cmd_oem_disable_charger_screen},
{“oem-select-display-panel”, cmd_oem_select_display_panel},
#endif
};

only prob is still oh never mind i do have a twrp lol i forgot kernals wouldnt be same we would need i thing the debug bootloader for ls991 which i actally read the other day on something trying to find us one.
in theory a debug or engineering bl should overite a qfuse in a way kinda thing device model specific but firmware versions usually dont matter or at least the few ive messed with on samsungs.
im in no way a dev but if someone could possibly mod one of the debug bls for us then yes may be possible because if im not mistaken the v20s are locked as tight as ours arent they`

Can this work via lg flash tool to convert say a ls991 to h811? Is there any special ools needed like octopus box?
I dont think we can cross flash to811. Ive tried askin that one may be possible with box but doibtfull
And sprint wont unlock bl. Only lg can. They would have to basicly give u the signature to sign ure own images. Unless they offer unlock when nougats released

Friends I posted a help a month ago....I wanted a stock rom to unbrick my hard bricked Moto E4 plus..I got it in Needrom.com at yesterday and flashed it with SP flash tool as my phone is MTK variant..I did it successfully and it works perfectly.

you have successfully screwed your device nvram data
without nvram "no imei , no wifi, no radio signal, no sim working, no bluetooth" nothing else.....

check whether IMEI is listed or not.

Hi guys I unlocked my bootloader etc and like everyone else who owns a E4 Plus I get the message "Orange state your device has been unlocked bla blah"
I was wondering is there anyway to remove/hide it? I already searched the forum and most answers were a "no".
But I just wanted to double clarify hence I started this thread.. I know the message only shows up on bootup but like everyone else I would prefer it not to be there..
any replies would be appreciated thanks.
My model is XT1771 Nicklaus
Cheers.
I flashed a bootlogo that covered it. There are several around, pick what you like.

I just got this phone for christmas, There are way too many versions of this phone, so confusion is going be a learning curve, what works on one version doesn't work on another.
So far that's the only downside I have found so far with this phone. Mine is the retail version, xt1775.
I'm new to all of this so I tried to follow a tutorial I just found online. The tutorial was on the androidexplained website.
I followed everything and at the end the phone turned on and I was going through the set up. But it got stuck on the looking for updates part. I tried restarting the phone and now it won't even turn on. It only shows a message that says "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed.
I can access download mode by holding down the vol. down and bixby buttons and plugging the usb cable into a pc, but I can't do anything after that. I tried redoing the thing with odin again, but it shows "Fail".
Please help.
Yes I got this problem with me .. you can install the official rom then twrp and then a custom rom ,, i tried to root my phone with out lose the os but it could not

you should search on xda instead of on random sites.
1- learn to differentiate the different note 9 models
2- once you have learned this skill, apply the appropriate fix:
2.a-either flash back stock if you are on a north americian model
2.b-continue rooting process accordingly by following the Dr. ketan root oem fix in the guides section of this forum if you are on an international variant.
2.c-if you have a Chinese or south American version, head on over to the snapdragon rom development section.
how to achieve the above is all documented. just search and read the available info on xda.
Thanks for the help everyone, I downloaded the official ROM and flashed it with odin and my phone's working perfectly fine!
