Hi, recently i managed to brick my Korean F340L G Flex so bad. I've tried almost everything software wise.
-The solution:
I'm planning to change the logic board from a Sprint LS995 model. I think it will work ok. Of course I'll have to some how get an unlock code in order to use it in Greece where I live.
I've seen in ebay some users providing for a small amount of money this code.
So, what do you think. Will it work as I'm thinking? Any comments, suggestions, guides welcome. Thanks
Here is a short story:
"Hello, to all, I'd like to share my experience and problem with my LG G Flex, as a last hope to find a solution to unbrick it.
I know that the talk here is about G2's, but I saw many users reviving their Flexes with OP's method.
So here is what I did in steps:
1)I rooted my Lg g flex F340L
2)New OTA, downloaded, but failed to install after reboot. The message was no OTAs for rooted devises
3)Tried to unroot, but with no success. Still no installation of OTA.
4)Found, and flashed the stock F340L rom , (had an EFS backup), from another user here(.tot file), with LGFlashTool.
5)SIM card was not recognized any more (Greece, Vodafone), so no calls. Did all the updates, but no SIM, still.
6)Hard reset, still no SIM.
7)Decided to flash stock F340K kdz rom, and install CWR. All good, SIM detected, OTA downloaded, but after reboot stuck at CWM nenu. Whatever I do just CWM.
8)No download mode, or usb support, just an LG FLEX unknown device. Got some drivers only to be seen as lenovo ADB device.
9)I found the test point on the motherboard and short circuit it. Got a qhsusb_bulk(qualcomm 9008) under COM ports, but not on a specific port.
10) No flash capability, and no partitions to try and flash the 10 or so, images. Ubundu, no luck with the partition detection either.
11)After many reboots and button long presses the CRW came back...again
Well as I can see, there is not so much support for the korean variants and I might have destroyed my phone. So, I need your advise in changing the motherboard. I found M/B's from AT&T and Sprint variants, to install to my F340L. I think it will work. After I will purchase an unlock code from lets say ebay to unlock it to all GSM networks ( I live in Greece).
What is CRW or CWR?
Are you referring to CWM? The recovery?
If you can boot into cwm your phone has a chance to be saved no need to change the mb.
By the way sprint doesnt give out unlock codes like att. There is an specific process to sim unlock sprints variant.

Yes sorry, CWM I was refering to. Well, since I have no other option at the moment. I'll try to find that specific process you've mentioned when I get the board(help or hint welcome)
As, for the M/B change, no system partitions are recognized in order to flash individual .images to unlock them.
If you can access CWM you dont need to flash the .img files for your phone. Instead you could flash a stock zip through adb sideload or flash twrp through sideload too. Twrp allows MTP use so someone using an F340K can help you with a stock backup and you can unbrick instead of changing board.

The only stock image I have is in .TOT file for the L variant. I also have stock .kdz file for the K variant. I can sideload to /sdcard/0/ directory only, if that helps. I'll try to find twrp.zip and try it. But the main problem is to find stock rom in .zip format.
I've managed to install twrp 2.8.0.0...

Ok, this will take time friend.
I will try to make you a flashable zip of stock F340L KK.
Maybe it will take me some 4 or 5 hrs.

Help.........!!!
Can jump from version G925AUCS5DPK5 to this version ? when flash is stuck in odin, is there any way to do it, stays in file analysis for a long time but does not load, any idea how to fix it?:crying:
Here's everything I've tried
1) Change USB port
2) Administrator mode
4) Rebooted phone
5) rebooted computer
...... any other idea ?
Does this require a phone to be on a specific version before flashing? Just want to be sure everything is good to go before moving forward.
**Edit** found answer by searching. (sorry to jump post heheh

Now it´s working, I unzip all 4 files to md5, and then load the ROM successfully, but it stuck on black screen for about 30 min and never started, I had to go down to the previous version now with imei corrupt and now my cell phone no longer has signal, I do not know what went wrong or where I was wrong?
I flash this files in my g925aucu4dph5 phone, I will upgrade to nougat? What about ADB files? Do you have a video tutorial to this process?
just received my g925a 128GB version, currently has the build number LMY47X.G925AUCU3BOJ7, can i use Odin 3.10.6 and just flash this on it after zipping all 4 files down to md5? (bl, ap, cp, csc)??/
I'mgoing to assume it will not b rootabe after this? If so, to what firmware can i. should i update to so that I may root as flash some other ROM? What I really want to accomplish is just rid myself of all the AT&T bloat, as I do not use AT&T.......and would like to be a more newer version of android then 5.1.1
excuse of it seems nubish, but been using OnePlus One for 3 years now, and stumbled upon getting this phone on a great deal on getting this phone for $240.....so new to the samsung scene, but not to the rooting/bootloading unlocking flashing scene....
Also saw that another poster lost his storage flashing odin....something not cool on a 128gb device and another lost his imei....not cool either
Thanks for the update! Worked beautifully. Now waiting for may update.
Once you load these are we supposed to get updates from ATT? I ask b/c when I hit update it never finds anything and I don't have the most current OS I have the previous to current using these methods to update
has anybody done this without losing original storage or imei??? have a 128GB att edge and would not want this error to occur on mine...still in 5.1.1 build OJ7....

Well, the usual rookie mistake later I see I have no backup for the stock bootloader
The firmware repository points to a dead link. ( https://mega.nz/#!D4503azZ!4_Uw7hJOU4yH1-2VVhgrYLOeVyXFOlAaeA_m7VlVlwg ) on https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e5/how-to/firmware-moto-e5-xt1944-4-dual-sim-t3820901
Can anyone help me out on this?
Welp, solved it myself. If anyone wants the firmware, pm and I will put the link on this post.
Seems like all I had to root the phone (with the stock kernel) was to use the recovery, change the fstab.qcom file and install magisk (Which would take care of the no-verity issue), and then voila, done.

After rooting my phone the wifi is not working anymore no matyyhow i clock wifi on its keep turning off i try to reset factory data nothing change pleaseeeeeee guys help me
Hi,
First thing I'd do is to reset it to it's original state and thus unroot it.
Does that bring Wi-Fi back ?
Then I would re-root to se if that turns Wi-Fi off again.
If so , then it seems the unrooting has problem somewhere... I think I've seen that it implies playing with a modded kernel image or something like that. So it can easily cause problems.
If not then you probably unrooted it the wrong way first time.
Regards.
I had the same problem, fixed it by flashing the same boot.img that belongs to my os version (cn red magic 2.14).

Hi,
So if I get you right : I download the ROM for the Global version.
Once done I extract the boot.img and patch it with Magisk Manager.
And then I flash the patched file and it should be good ?
I'm going to try this right now
UPDATE : done. It works indeed

Hi,
Can you please tell me what version of the firmaware you're running ?
I think there are three of those :
- China
- North America
- Europe
To know which one you are running, just go to settings and at the very bottom "About this phone".
And there, at the very bottom, the version of the ROM used.
Without that info, I won't be able to provide the needed patched boot image.
I assume your bootloader is unlocked and you DID NOT install TWRP.

Okay, so when you updated to Q and then reverted back to P you messed up the persist.img, it's a part of the phone that regulates many sensor with the proper value.
what we need to do is fix the persist.img, luckily Orange fox will help up in that regard!
So first things first we need to get a replacement persist.img
Start by booting into Orange fox and make a backup of everything except internal storage.
go to https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/raphael/ and get the latest china rom for fastboot (at the time of this writing, it's V10.3.17.0.PFKCNXM )
Once it has finished downloading open it like a zip using 7zip, inside should be a .TAR file, open it again like a zip and inside that unarchived TAR file should be a folder called "image" and within that one, will be a file called "persist.img".
Take the persist file and put it in your phone's storage, in orange fox select the file and options will be presented to you as to where to flash the image file, select of course the persist partition.
after this wipe cache and reboot.
The first boot will have a couple of issues, the phone will need to recalibrate itself, follow the instructions on the screen (open the front camera, clibrate gyro, etc).
After that you should be all set my friend

Where to flash persist.img from orangefox recovery ?? System or Vendor??? Flash 2 time fastboot ROM but not solved out the issue. Also, by mistake on 3rd attempt got bootloader locked. So, now what I do??

Allright, first I never mentionned anything about flashing a fastboot rom, so you need to take it easy and follow instructions attentively (don't panic it's all gonna be okay)
Since you relocked your bootloader you just have to unlock it again using the many guides posted on this forum (I will not help you with this since there's already plenty of thread on the subject)
after your bootloader is back to an unlocked state, you re-installed OrangeFox and you flashed the ROM you want follow the procedure I typed to the letter and you'll be fine.
As for how to flash the "persist.img". In the "files" tab in OrangeFox just tap on the "persist.img" file and in the window that opens you will have a chance to select to which partition you wanna flash the file (you need of course to select the "persist" partition)
