[Q] Unbricking the LG Escape?

Hi, I recently got my first smartphone, an LG Escape (P870). It recently came out on September 17. I figured out how to root it by following
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
I was recently using titanium backup to remove some of the stock applications I didn't want. However, when I try to start up my phone it displays "Security Error". Apparently this is because I uninstalled Google Movies (see post #20)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783324
How would I go about unbricking my phone? The post linked to this, but it's for the LG Nitro HD (P930). Are they similar enough that it would work? Thanks.

Get the correct .KDZ for your phone, then use LG's kdz flasher. That will return your device to pure stock.

Thanks! but how do I get the firmware? The csmg.lgmobile.com site doesn't seem to be giving the firmware locations.
csmg.lgmobile. com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=***
Also, is this the correct firmware installer?
mediafire. com/?jkk2dwewjmfz346

Honestly, I don't know. But the KDZ file is specific to your region & carrier. I think the flasher works for all LG phones. Just look around the internet for the right kdz file.

Ok, I've looked all over and I can't find a firmware file. The LG server is supposed to have them, but I can't seem to find it.
My phone is
Model: LGP870
Region: AATTBK
Version: V10c
So the link should be this, but it doesn't seem to work for me.
hxxp://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP870/AATTBK/V10c_00/V10C_00.kdz
The BIN is on the server, so the firmware should be also, right?
hxxp://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/cs_auth_model_check.jsp?esn=***
Does anyone know how to access the firmware, or know another place to get it?

Use at your own risk:

So, the software versions are hardware independent?

I removed the ESN from your link. Never a good idea to post that online.

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.

Ok, I've looked around and there are multiple files with that same version number, but are for different phones, and are different sizes. That mediafire link says that file's a year old, and my phone came out a month ago. I'll need one that matches my model.

Does anyone know where I can get the correct firmware for my phone? Or should I just go and see if AT&T will reformat it for me.

Well, I've made a decision. I'm still within AT&T's one month phone exchange time frame, so I'm going to return my Escape and probably get a refurbished S3 or HTC One.

Bricked!

Can you tell me how you did it exactly? I rooted my phone and need more details than what I'm reading here.

Bricked. Also seeking help
I also have a bricked phone.
I tried to send a text message and there was no keypad to type. I shut down phone to reboot hoping that would fix the issue. When I turned it back on I got the "security error" logo.
I had not done anything on the phone for several days.
I am going to order a new phone but would like to wake this up so I can sell it.
(PS not really happy with this phone anyway as it won't permit me to move apps to SD card and it is easy to run out of space.)

Help with US firmware H950? Bricked Flex 2

So pretty new to this form I'm from the United States I have a LG flex 2 h950 I rooted the other day and then I installed a application that fixed permissions... once the permissions were fixed the phone turned off and just started boot looping afterwards. I couldn't find software for my phone so I tried flashing H955 software...bad idea... the phone works but seems only the cellular service doesn't work...if there's a way for me to enable the radio somehow or flash different radio please let me know because it's really frustrating I know I'm dumb that i did it to begin with but i can at least use the phone besides cellular service .I didn't know if somebody has a spare H 950 software in there pocket or if there's another way to go around it I can't get anything from LG and I can't get anything from AT&T so pretty much I have a phone that I can't call with or text with also I noticed whenever I go to the hidden menu and I go to phone info...it says this application does not work with this device any help would be appreciated.

On my 3rd flex 2 at&t. I called and made something up and they sent a replacement. They never check. They just refurbish the device as long as it has no external damage.

Really? I was thinking that. But its not my plan. Its my girlfriends i didnt wanna get her disconnected. Because it is also rooted. I heard they can do that. I didnt kno if i could modify something in build prop or flash something. It also sucks because i like this phone and there's no recovery which got me in the situation to begin with. Thanks for the advice though. Im still debating if i should do that or if anyone has any other ideas? Thanks

did you modify the system folder? i can help you with that
- didnt' read your story.
I don't know if i can help you
there are no stock images. but if there is pieces from the rom you need. I can send them to you

The system folder? What would i have to modify? I had a couple ideas but they didnt really work lol...long story short cant find att stock firmware h950...rooted...bricked...flashed h955 firmware hoping that would work but now i cant get cell service. Says radio is disabled but i cannot find a way to enable

ahh bricked LG's. they are really hard to restore.. i remember when i bricked my lg g pro f240k and it took me forever to restore but eventually i did.
it was soo easy.. much easier than i thought.
okay, try this buddy
http://lg-support-tool.en.lo4d.com/ << download and install this. as well as lg drivers.
put your phone into download mode.. and then leave it there.
connect your phone to your pc, and then click find software or something like that.
after youve done that...
it will find the appropriate software and flash it automatically, although you will lose your root, and you might end in android 5.1.1
however i am not too sure...
btw leave a thanks and tell me how you got on!

Cool thanks much appreciated...i will let you kno tomorrow. While we are on the subject dose anyone know a custom recovery method for the flex 2 H950? or mabey a recovery from a differnent model that MAY work? So this dose not happen again. :good: many thanks.

i wouldn't mind buddy. give a few hours.

Please keep us posted, cuz I also bricked my H950. I manage to get SU but for some reason I could not install Titanium, so I proceed to root it again via traditional way. Not the phone just stuck at&t logo. Any help is appreciated!! Why can't we get TOT for this phone??

ATT Un-Brick Method (Also International Debloat)

Hello, those of you who have soft bricked and can still access download mode, there is a method a user and I @giantpear discovered to bring your phone back to life by flashing the KDZ of the Peurto Rican 810.
Instructions can be found at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848
Kudos to @hyelton for his original thread
Note: Remember you are flashing the Puerto Rican Firmware for your phone, not the original stock US KDZ as there is not one yet.
Note: I am not the creator of this thread I am merely re-posting what we found through test in that thread tonight.
Note: I am not sure moving forward if you were to continue to try to root or flash what model method you would want to try. I would say we should wait for a TOT method before trying anything else.
On the positive note, I now have a heavily debloated phone with zero ATT apps on it.
Hope this helps any who have lost their phone attempting root these past few days.

I approve But yeah it should be posted here in the mean time. Until we do get an official A&T TOT.
But this is great for either needing to go back to stock due to soft-brick, or if you like that pure software feeling.

Please make it known that this method isnt compatible for Low Effort Root AT&T H810 10g. I just tried and failed. Reflash the kdz and it all went well. I already submitted a system dump file to #thecubed. Hope we can get a rooted system img shortly.

Kudos @giantpear

@user787 Thank you! Your KDZ link saved at least a dozen ATT 810s. Power to XDA!

This is awesome news! I wish I would have found @user787 post earlier! Hopefully all the other lost H810 souls will see this post soon.
If anyone discovers downsides of using this KDZ, please post what you find in this thread. I've got a replacement phone coming and need to decide if I should keep this one or the AT&T phone. So far I'm liking this variant much better!
You guys should enter donation information in your profile. I'll buy you a beer or two!

would be awesome to make a combo rom with this and root for stateside AT&T phones. A factory heavy debloat rom would be nice since you are guaranteed that the removed apps won't cause issues.

I am with you, I think I will be sending back the warranty replacement they are sending me!
Although the process of bricking and pulling back (thanks to you guys) was a pain in the ass! I really like this ROM. I like it better than the one that came with my phone and so far I have no issues. When this version gets root I think it is the best case scenario. Thank you again for helping us all out!

Next I need to decide if I should take the updates available for it. I see there are ones available but none are being forced.
Edit never mind just app updates.

There's a root script out we can run on our system.img file, it just needs to be run on Linux. I'll try to set up a machine tonight if someone doesn't beat me to it.

That's over my head, but I looking forward to it. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Has anyone checked to see if they get good 4G LTE speeds with H810PR? I don't have good 4G coverage (or much data left) to test on. I just ran an LTE speedtest and I maxed out at 11.35 Mbps.

I got the warranty replacement phone today. It's brand spanking new with H81010b firmware. I may pull an image off it later in case someone needs it, but I still think I'm sending the phone back. My original works too well to take a chance with new hardware.

You probably used the 10g file on 10g system. I tried the 10g root file on PR system since my phone bricked earlier. I had to flash PR kdz to bring it back to life

I would use the kdz to get a fresh start and try again. There are pictures in the first guide you linked to - did yours look like that or were there specific errors?

thank you! kdz worked. i now have root! but the rear camera still wont work. is that an issue from my previous root attempts? or something else? again thank you very much

Most likely something else. The kdz writes all of the software and firmware back to the device just like it was brand new. This should resolve any software issues when completed successfully, which it obviously was...

Can't find matched carrier. Check NT-code: FFFFFF : 84

I had 10ulm and flashed it with the G710AWM and now every time I boot my phone i get:
WARNING: Current version is not available for user. Can't find matched carrier. Check NT-code: FFFFFF : 84
The phone works fine since it was unlocked, but I am getting a ton of calls go straight to voicemail and this may be the issue? How can I fix this?
any help appreciated. Thanks

also wifi calling is nowhere to be found under call settings. It seems like I don't have the setting on this version? thoughts

Don't bother pal, stick with the official rom, I had this same issue best option is to just stick with the same variant as your phone, might not be latest but it works good. FYI I have g710emw and was using g710em rom

You are probably right. What a pain to have to flash again and go back?
How are you guys backing up so that you just restore to the same phone you had without having to set up everything again?

I didn't restore, I tried out the rom first, and then just wiped it. What broke it for me was the wifi mac address somehow became lost while using it, maybe some software glitch only by flashing the same variant was I able to restore it.

Hey there, how do you do this KDZ with refurbish option? Will this mean flashing again anyways?
I was hoping that by now the official android 10 version from LG would be out for the unlocked 10ulm, but it seems that they will never update this phone for some reason. This was the Google Fi unlocked G7.
Suggestions please. Thanks

Thanks for replying.
I noticed you are the leader of the other thread I posted, so I will ask here so not to bug you too much
Will the choosing of refurbish option erase the serial or IMEI or anything else that I should be aware of?
Also, when you say flash again you mean using the canadian version correct? I was wondering about the Korean version vs the canadian and what advantage would there be in any.
If you could, please lead me to the instructions to flash again. When I did it, I used a guide from some dude on youtube and I can't find that again.
Also, read somewhere that the error at boot could be fixed by rooting and then changing something with the explorer app. Not sure if that is worth it. I just hate backing up and restoring to find I am logged out of most every app and all settings have to be set up again. It takes me hrs and I am not that technically savvy as you guys.
Thanks for your time and have a good evening.

Flash with the kdz you used before, Canadian firmware is better than Korean. In lgup select refurbish instead of partition dl. It won't tamper with your IMEI and you will loose all your data

Hi dapolicy,
I am done with the LG G7ULM since it will never be updated officially.
I really like having the fingerprint sensor on the back and it seems that the LG G8 is the last iteration of phones from LG with this feature and it is an upgrade from the G7.
It is cheap here in the US.
Which version of this phone should I look for? I will be using it on Mint Mobile, so an unlocked one sounds great and all, but then you see what happened to the G7 ULM that never got android 10 unless it was tied to a carrier.
So, what do you suggest I do so I can get the next couple of updates for android with the G8?
Thanks man!

If the firehose was available for the Wing/Velvet you can hex the FTM and fix the NT Code on the Wing.You can try the engineering service menu,but I highly doubt the IMPL is 0 under MID.
