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.)
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??

I flashed a T-Mobile Kit Kat 20g based rom on my D800 and got a lot of problems and can`t flash back to stock AT&T Kit Kat rom.The problems I`m having with the Kit Kat rom is no Play Store,no internet, and brightness don`t work.I tried tots method and that don`t work.It appears that my D800 is now a D801 with no way to return.If anybody got a fix let me know.
Also I have to reboot several times to get the usb to work to transfer files.

First make sure your rooted with twrp.Basically what I did was flashed a already stock rooted AT&T rom in twrp which I knew would brick it.That will turn it back to the correct stock ROM which in this case D800 even though the device is brick.Next get out of recovery and get the device in download mode.Then I flashed stock AT&T Kit Kat rom using tot method and the no check DLL file.May work with AT&T DLL.Didn't test.Flash it,should be successful.I will assume this method will work for others on different devices if flashed wrong rom,didn't make a backup,or however they ended up changing the device because of flashing wrong ROM.

What's the reason it's stuck on the logo? Did you do something like attempt root or anything?
If you haven't done anything to cause it did you try performing a factory reset?
It could be a hardware issue or battery problem if you didn't do anything to cause the stuck on LG logo problem.

So with the phone off you've tired holding down vol up and power or vol down and power to attempt to factory reset? Your phone doesn't need to boot into the OS to factory reset it...
Also normally this doesn't happen unless it's a hardware issue since you didn't do anything to cause it.
Was the device running MM? If so you need to use LGUP. Lg flashtools 2014 won't work if your running MM 6.0.
Just check out the general section there's a back to stock guide with links to firmwares.

Just use LGUP. And flash your models kdz. There's no specific one just make sure it matches your model.

Yes. Just place your phone in download mode.
If your phone still does the same after flashing it's either your battery or a hardware failure.

Just search the forum and YouTube for lg g flex 2 bootloop and you'll see. I was in the same situation as well and that helped. I replaced it multiple times and I even baked the motherboard in the oven. Just the battery was the issue and thank God nothing worse. And the battery is like 10$ so not too much. Hope you fix it.

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.
Best to root and then backup and restore

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.
