Hi, I know this is for T-mobile but I will post my question here as Wind representative told me that they use T-Mobile devices
Earlier this morning, I noticed that there is the update for kitkat. I forgot that my phone was rooted with some chinese software, and I installed the update. Originally I planned to unroot the phone update but I forgot. Now whenever I start my phone I get the fast reboot screen. Is there anyway to fix this
Please speak in noob terms.... I am not very good with computer language.

It will boot to the LG screen then a black screen,
what happened: I rooted my phone, then installed beats audio (requires root) from App market place,
I did not back up my firmware, like an idiot.
So, I found this guide, [cannot post outside links, basically its a link to a LG Motion Unbricking guide]but I am worried it will flash my phone to Metro PCS. (I believe this will work because the Motion and the Regard are the same). Can anyone who has the Regard copy and upload their stock or rooted rom instead?
PS sorry for posting here, there is not section yet for the LG Optimus Regard
Well now my phone kind of works, it boots after flashing this Motion 4g rom, however, it continually repeats the message (as in loops) "Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped" moreso, I am now flashed over to Metro PCS.
Please I beg of anyone with this model the LG Optimus Regard LW-770
PLEASE My phone is unuaseable in its current state.
So I got it working..... except my phone still thinks its an MS-770 and not a LW-770. Also it is still on MetroPCS.
So I am saying screw it, can someone please just tell me how to change my carrier back to cricket. I will stay with my phone having the wrong model number until someone releases a proper rom
Duplicate thread. Closed.

Well the process isn't always quick. But it's been explained to death. If you cannot get it automatically, then just call 611, then ask to be transferred the their tech department. Simple. Afterwards ask the new rep to push ANY OTAs they have available for your device & give them the ask model of the phone.
If the rep doesn't know what to do, just hang up, and call again.
My Flex2 is LS996ZV4, i bought it in Cuba. It never got any OTA update since i rooted it very early and the software update notification didnt showed up there. Im living now in Peru and the notification does show up (by the way it can be seen in the screenshot), but... the update does not work because the phone is rooted and i find no way to unroot it due to its old software version(V4). Im in some kind of a loophole here
In the mean time, my phone overheat and lags like crazy! And i've been using it like this for almost a year now...
I asked this before, and i got no response, guess is not something easy to do.
Thanks in advance. Any tips will be higly appreciated.
Do some search in the forum and you will find similar threads about this issue for H950 or other variants check if it applies to your model or try it on your own if it works good then you are fine if it doesnt you will have to wait for professional support by other members who have exp with this device
Thanks for the tip @yeyoo. Im starting to believe there is no solution at hand...
I have searched... and almost every advice i read implies going back flashing the stock image and unrooting. But i cant do It because i cant find an image of this old software vers.(v4) to download.
I think you dont need the same version you have you can flash higher version kdz easily and it will remove root automaticly or you can try to update through lg mobile support tool on a pc
im sorry if this is in the wrong section but ,ok so i bought an open box galaxy s6 from becetech online and it would not let me update the firmware past 5.1.1 which made me a bit suss, downloaded root checker app and it came too me rooted. apart from not being able to update the firmware past 5.1.1 as far as im aware the phone has no issues and works perfectly fine. i downloaded the *samsung* phone info app, in general under manufacturer it says Samsung/verizon so im assuming that is part of the reason they rooted the phone as it needed to be unlocked from verizon to be refurbished? so what i want to know is how do i find out exactly what becetech have done to the phone and is there an easy way for me to update the firmware to nougat or at least marshmallow without stuffing the phone, like i said the phones running fine its just really bugging me not being to update. obviously im not able to work it out myself but i can follow instructions so any help from someone would be greatly appreciated so thank you in advance.

Could someone with a bit more knowledge please tell me if the reason I can't update the firmware is because the firmware csc is TGY when I'm in Australia or just because it's rooted or what? I'm getting no answers from the company who I bought it off

Are you trying to update via the phone update feature? If so this won't work as rooting disabled the ability Update using ota
First I tried OTA then downloaded samsung smart switch and gave that a go both no good. What I want to know is, if they had to root the phone to refurbish it will it brick it if I try to update? Won't it reset all the company I bought it off has done to it to refurbish it? Which I'm guessing is quite a process as when I look at the open source licenses there's a long list of files that have been changed. It just sucks that it's locked to a three year old version of the firmware that I'm worried apps will start to stop supporting in the near future? Apart from that I can not fault the phone there's been no problems, maybe I'm asking a bit much for a $400 phone?

From what I can tell you have a g920v variant if the phone Shows Verizon but the sure fire way to know what variant you have is turn the phone off once off hold home-power-volume down, this will take you to download mode but should tell you your variant. You don't need to root a phone to refurbish It, you can flash Stock firmwares via Odin. I really don't know why they would have Rooted It tbh, you'd need to contact them, but I know for sure you can manually download the latest Verizon firmware and the phone should work. Maybe they Rooted it as part of making it network unlocked, o really can't say
Ok I tried that and a bright blue screen came up warning about custom OS then press up volume for download and down volume for reset? I just pressed down as there was no other info on the screen but it does say it's a sm-g920v in the settings as well as the root checker app. Another thing was I did ring samsung support gave them the serial number and IMEI and they said an authorized modification had been done on the phone but could offer no other support as it wasn't an Australian phone. I'll keep trying to get some info out of the company I bought it off and try to sort it out thanks for your help :good:
I have a problem with my phone that I cant be updated. I found many times on internet about its rom, on lg fanclub but there's no kdz file for v450pm. Can you guys help me with this problem??? I went to setting and it show software version v450p10n although my friend also have a LG v50 v450pm like me but his phone show v450p20h and android 10. Can u guys show me the tip?? Lots of thank!!
here is kdz file for v450pm: Firmware LG V50 ThinQ 5G LMV450PM for your region - LG-Firmwares.com (lg-firmwares.com) there's nothing
and here is kdz file for v450vm: Firmware LG V50 ThinQ 5G LMV450VM for your region - LG-Firmwares.com (lg-firmwares.com) there are 3 files kdz!!!
Sprint(v450pm) phones don't usually have their kdz published. So you can't update or downgrade using that method. I also have the phone and I got OTa to 20h in December. Have you modified the phone in any way? Root, uninstalled system apps, etc? You can try clearing data of "FOTA update", all 3 "software update" and "update center" , restart the phone and try searching for new software again. If it dose not work, you may have to try a factory reset of the phone.

I got the exact same model as yours,but sim unlocked,open box never used,about 10 days ago.
Because i use it in Europe,i was really worried if it was going to get any further updates beyond android 9 with which it came from the seller i bought it.
After a lot of searching here and there before buying it,most people,and the seller included,where assuring me that it would get android 10 and every OTA updates in future,because Sprint roms are not completely locked like AT&T for example.
Everyone said that i would get the updates as it should,but i could not flash any rom because Sprint never publish it's roms.
Someone suggested me not to install my carrier's sim card when i power on tge phone,and let it just connect via wifi,saying that this way is more safe to get updates.
The reason why should i do that,he explained me,is because sometimes our carriers implement their set up or something like this,in our device,through the carriers settings app,and with that way we couldn't get updates.
Long story short,when i got the phone,i just powered it on,without inserting my sim card,and right after the set up,i got the first update notification,which was upgrade to android 10.
After this first update,i continiously took 3 more updates,one after the other in an hour,with my final update to be v20h December 2020.
So my opinion is if you don't mind,try and factory reset your phone,backing up first,in case something goes wrong,and set it up again from scratch,without your sim card..just give it it's time to connect to LG servers.
I hope it helps.

thank you. i bought another phone, k20 pro. it's ez for me to flash, up anyrom i want. really love this. i hate lg from now
I wanted a custom rom until none of them supports the quad dac, even if i get a next device I'll still keep the v50 as a dedicated music device with a 512 SD card. I'm on sprit version and it updated to v450p20j yesterday, fingers crossed for 11 but LGs history for updates is a gamble.

LG is closing their mobile business in few years. better to choose a different brand
