Thanks to dhacker29 for the orginal idea and script!
Check out his orginal post for the Droid Bionic here!
Also, thanks to kennethpenn for providing the files you are about to use!
You have to be unlocked to use this!!
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY THING THAT HAPPENS TO YOU OR YOUR PHONE!
I will try to help as much as possible, but that does not allow you to hold me responsible for anything whatsoever.
Step 1. Download this zip file and extract it, putting all the files in a folder.
Step 2. Download the file "One-Click Fastboot Restore.zip" and extract it, putting all the files in the same folder as the one above.
Step 3. Run the .bat file and follow the instructions.
DO NOT FIX PDS PARTITION UNLESS NECESSARY! IT WILL WIPE YOUR MAC ADDRESS FOR WIFI AND BLUETOOTH!
(Found some typos, not serious. Will fix soon)
No comments yet? I take that as a good sign, I haven't screwed up the script!
What does this do? Restore a backup from fastboot
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I'm also curious what exactly it does. At 140k it isn't replacing very much. Does it just fix files related to booting?
Didnt run it because I'm on linux and my phone is fine, but looking at the batch file, it automates flashing the stock gingerbread rom and restores PDS via fastboot.
when I run it, it gives me AdbWinApi.dll error. any suggestions?
I ran this for ****s and giggles and it returns everything back to stock AT&T 2.3 while giving you options along the way of what exactly you wanna restore to stock? webtop, system,pds, wipe data etc. works perfectly! makes life easier really! Phone booted right up after running no problems! Thanks!

It restores your phone back to stock AT&T android via fastboot automatically. It also gives you the option to *fix* your pds partition.
It's also an alternative to RSD

It restores it back to stock AT&T. I tried this on an international Atrix.
Pardon my ignorance, i'm trying to restore a bricked Atrix 4G for a friend. It gave error Failed to boot SVF 105:1:2 0x1000 after bad upgrade. Is it possible to use this as a solution? How can i find that out? and in any case, i have downloaded all files, what's the correct procedure to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Anyone?

Well, been trying but haven't been able to do anything with it. I mean I never used it before and seems like it needs to boot into fastboot mode which I haven't been able to do.
Is in any way possible to make the phone boot into that via usb cable with this software? I installed all requiered software including drivers but it never detected the phone in that (bricked) state, not even once. The phone turns a green light when u connect the usb without battery in, thats it.
I haven't found any solution yet, only seen ppl saying to buy a new one. Is this brick really that bad that there's absolutely no solution? And it all seems to be caused by lack of SBK as ive read on the net...
Well if there's any good news I would like to hear them

It's a hard brick. I'm sorry, but it cannot be fixed. You can always try a factory cable, but so far, nothing can be done. I feel your pain

The update is still there possibly because it is not being installed properly. Download the latest from download.cyanogenmod.org and flash it manually from recovery. You will need to flash the supersu again if you didn't install the su backup script.
Hi everyone. Not sure anyone will be able to help me, but I figured I'd chance it. I also hope that I'm asking this in the right area. If not I apologize. So I got a Note 3 (AT&T) today. IN LOVE! After doing some reading I used Kingo to root. Everything went great and my phone is now rooted. To confirm this I downloaded root checker from the play store and it confirmed that my phone is definitely rooted.
After some more research I came across safestrap. For the last 2-3 hours I have been trying to install it with zero luck. Basically, after I download the 3.71 apk, installed the apk, followed the prompts and completed the installation safestrap says that the installation was complete. Unfortunately, the state: still shows not installed and I am unable to choose reboot to recovery. It's greyed out and can't be selected. Any chance that anyone knows why this is happening? I have tried just about everything that I can think of and the result has been the same every time. Sorry so long, but this is driving me crazy and I wanted to be thorough with my explanation. Thanks in advance for any help or fixes that you come up with.

try disabling lookout first
Same result.
Uninstalled Safestrap, Disabled and turned off lookout, and rebooted. After reboot I reinstalled safestrap and tried again. The result was the same. No install and not reboot to recovery after a supposed successful install. Would re-rooting possibly make a difference?

Let me go ahead and make it weirder. I just rooted AND installed safestrap on my wife's note 3. It worked perfectly and without any problems. The only difference between our phones, that I'm aware of, is the color. She has white and I have black.
The model number, Android version, baseband version, kernel, and build number are all the same. I would be lying if I said that it isn't making me want to cry.

I booted into Odin, wiped data & caches, rebooted, installed nova launcher, rooted the phone, checked to see if it was rooted (it was), rebooted, installed safestrap.apk, opened safestrap and installed, and..... same thing..... I am now completely out of ideas. It would seem like I am destined to have no custom rom installations.

I actually used the same download that I used on my wife's. I also downloaded earlier versions of safestrap and tried them. Much like you I am out of ideas. Is it possible to use something other then safestrap? Maybe clockwork mod and then install roms manually like I do for my nexus 7? Or is safestrap the only only option due to Knox? Also, Thank you for the help. If for some reason
I stumble upon an answer I'll let you and others know. Pretty clueless at this point though. Thanks again.

dude, my wife just got a black N3. this is not very encouraging.

It is the only way because of the locked bootloader there is a way with Odin but it is only one rom Knox raid kit kat version

I wouldn't be concerned. Whatever it is it seems that it's only my phone. I'm 99.9% positive that it has nothing to do with the color or with the black note being different.

That's what I figured. No biggie though. I am pretty satisfied with root and xposed framework. I've managed to delete and/or disable most of the apps that I don't use our want. I'll try to figure it out again if/when a new version of safestrap is released. Granted, I really don't think that it'll make a difference. My phone seems to have a grudge against safestrap. Oh well. Thanks again!
I unlocked from HTC Dev, rebooted it, and got constant error messages saying Unfortunately Blinkfeed has stopped, I mean constant as in I couldnt use the phone because the message wouldn't go away. So I rebooted again, and now it is stuck on the white htc ONE screen. Held power button down for 5 minutes and it won't reboot. Guess I'll have to wait until the power dies, try to reboot into recovery and do a factory wipe, assuming the LCD doesn't have a burn in by then.
Well got it to reboot into recovery, did a factory reset, same issue. Only white logo, so I did a wipe, guess I accidently wiped the OS, because now it says no OS installed. Going to see if I can return it at best buy, since it seems no one has a sprint rom yet and I have no phone...

Dude why didn't you have a backup for when this happen, you was supposed to have a twrp backup on your sdcard as soon as you install the custom recovery. So when stuff like this happen you can easily restored your previous backup, Well lesson learned though...

As far as rebooting your phone with the power button, I believe it's now done with power+volume up. Try that and see if you have any luck. It'll at least get you back to the bootloader and let you power off your phone for the time being.

Pretty Easy.
1. Go into recovery
2. Perform a backup
3. Look at were the backup is, it should be something like SDCard:/TWRP/BACKUPS/Fa0914015051/ (Fa394052) I think is random per phone.
4. put unzipped folder in the Fa9030492409325 folder
5. go to restore then you will find the folder. It can be named anything as long as it is in that folder on the SD card.

These are stock .img files that we pulled once TWRP got booted. If you break something (like flashing TWRP incorrectly), you can use these to restore it.
boot.img - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5fMrmukgO0NcVdKYzczRFBBSlk/view?usp=sharing
recovery.img - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5fMrmukgO0NUTUtdXdVZTM5MGs/view?usp=sharing
system.img - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5fMrmukgO0NcTYxVHhkSkxfelk/view?usp=sharing
For a flashable zip of the img's: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/development/lg-h901-stock-images-device-restore-t3241170
If you're having trouble flashing system.img because of file size (you will). Move it to the /sdcard folder on your phone however you want (simply drag it over to storage), then in adb shell, "dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system" or simply use TWRP.
Flashing these would be the same as you would on the nexus right? I.e fastboot flash system system.img

Mine wouldn't flash it. So I was told to put the system.img in /sdcard, then adb shell (I did it while in TWRP), then "dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system" let it run. Reboot.

I lost a lot of system apps after unlocking my bootloader (still don't know how) including lg smart world and the one that enables screenshot in navigation bar. I was wondering if flashing the system img will restore them and would it relock my bootloader?

As you were resetting up the phone, lg should have showed you the list of uninstalled LG apps...it ALWAYS does, but I know it is easy to skip over them as well when setting the phone. There should be another way even after, will edit this post once I set up my phone again.
But to answer your main post, flashing the system.img wont bring it back because the phone will still see them as uninstalled. You just have to reinstall them from the lg app list
