I was rooted and messed up some system file and now my phone is soft bricked.

Will this work ? http://www.rwilco12.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=96 I can enter download mode and do factory reset but need to know if this way will work on my device. this one is a sprint phone.

if you messed up the system files, you will need to re-flash stock to fix it.
all the files and guidance you need can be found here.

I tried the link you gave earlier but the program used uses a kdz file. I didn't know which one to use. What are all the files needed on the link you gave ? Which KDZ files are used for each different phone companies of LG G2 ?
I chose to use the download from the link I showed and fixed it from the "LG G2 Stock" folder download by following the instructions.
The link that I posted is the one for Sprint ZV7. Using that it unbricks it and then had to update software from ZV7 to ZV8 to ZVA to ZVC to ZVD. Not it's all updated.

i dont understand the problem.
there is a "sprint" directory on the downloads page with only sprint files there (including 3 of the builds you mentioned).

On the flash tool it says to select a kdz file. On the firmware link it shows different kdz files but which one is suppose to be used if it is ?
In the Sprint directory (home > Xda > LG G2 > Stock > Sprint) it shows a .dll file and some zip files. I looked at one zip file and it don't have a kdz file. Is that needed to use that flash tool ?

That's because your trying to flash it on a different model. I had already replied to your PM about that. You'll need to do a hex edit on the tot file your using to be able I flash it.

Is LS996 ZV7/ZV8 KDZ or TOT available anywhere? I tried but found nothing. I can confirm that US995 should be able to run LS996 firmware if we can manage to cross-flash it somehow.

guys i need ls996 zv8 kdz, as my phone hangs and doesnt let me do anything after installing zv8root.img on zv6 phone,

I need an help in my P880

Dear all. kindly help me. I have rooted my LG p880 and now in order to install recovery,I need to unlock the boot loader. But I cannot unlock it as my version is V10 ICS and I was asked to upgrade to V20 (probably jb i guess) first. I tried to upgrade with LG update tool but update stopped due to error. I tried to upgrade through flashing the KDZ files but unfortunately I cannot find KDZ-update folder ANYWHERE AT ALL. Kindly help me. How can i install custom Rom in my mobile now. Thank you.

Yes you can. The LGH631 and the LGMS631 are both the same devices essentially, same exact hardware on the same exact network. I personally used the 5.1.1 T-Mobile bootstack and the returntostock zips which I flashed via TWRP after rooting. Stay stock unrooted 5.1.1 and then jump on your wireless network and wait for the update. I was able to keep my Metro apps this way.

Thanks for your contributions to the Xda Community and also helping us Stylo Owners even though you jumped ship to the G4 but i dont blame you for advancing to better technology im the same way, I was a Boost Stylo owner but switched to the Metro variant because it has better specs. Anyways Thanks again Draken

Current tool to flash kdz
Hey guys. Just wanting to verify. Is this still the current tool you guys are using to flash kdz's?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
And does anyone have a link to the current drivers I should use when flashing with this tool? Thanks guys

I don't believe LG Flash tool works anymore, at least not for our phones. I was lucky enough to get Marshmallow through the OTA after reverting back to stock, but when I first got the phone back in October last year the first thing I did was try to root it and bricked it. If you download LG Bridge there's an option for "Update error recovery" on the bottom right of the software update tab and you can sideload a kdz file there.
Here is where you can get USB drivers for the Stylo.

Thank you. Just trying to get this figured out in case Draken is unable to get his zip fixed. I'm currently rooted on 5.1.1 and trying to go to marshmallow

Not a problem. Happy sideloading, but keep in mind that a kdz is a full return to stock and you'll lose everything on internal storage and you'll be setting it up like a brand new phone. Then again if you're going to root it using the guide on here you'll lose all internal storage data anyway so...
Regardless, good luck!

There is a method to flash the T-Mobile kdz file 10j and then OTA update to 10L and then to MM.
I was rooted on Lollipop/Katana ROM and did this method and am on MM/T-Mobile variant, then rooted after MM update.
LG Flash tool was used to flash the Tmo kdz 10J file (lollipop).

I have the metro stylo

I haven't been able to flash the MM kdz with flash tool only able to recover using earlier kdzs. Has anyone been able to use the 6.0 kdz in flash tool?

Your Program Files folder is "C:\Program Files (x86)".

@DrakenFX are you still around? you dont have this phone anymore right? does that mean you wont be able to make a flashable zip of the metro mm kdz that is finally out? heres the link just in case http://www.mylgphones.com/metropcs-...receiving-android-6-0-marshmallow-update.html
just another question to anybody that might know regarding that lg up tool...i just used the lg flash tool to flash back to stock so that i would hopefully get the metro mm ota...well it worked perfectly and i was able to get back to stock just fine, but now i still havent received the ota...so im wondering, if the flash tool worked for me, can i use it to install the metro mm kdz instead of using lg up?

Hey,
LG UP is a new and easy tool from LG Official. It can flash kdz/tot/dz files.
You can use "LG flash tool 2.0.1.5 or above" to flash kdz/tot/dz files.
The LG flash tool 2014 is a tool modified by some one from Vietnam, I did not test it.

Unlocked G3 D850, no OTA update?

EDIT:
What files do I need from storagecow link in the OP to do a 100% proper flash? The .zip only contains boot.img and system.img but I've heard you need the modem file as well?
There's others on storagecow like patched20fboot.img? rpm.img? tz.img? Should I grab all the files and put them in a zip and then flash? Or should I flash them one by one in a certain order?
I GREATLY appreciate any help. Please note I'm only after official LG firmware, no cyanogenmod or anything.

Hiya. Brand new to XDA forums so I apologize if this has been mentioned before.
I'm gonna make this as quick as I can. I bought an unlocked LG G3 from ebay
Opened it up and turned it on, first thing I did was check for firmware updates because it was still on KitKat. Nothing for some reason. (if you know why please answer in your response)
I'm new to rooting/flashing firmware but I did my best at researching on how to flash it to Lollipop which I successfully did but I had a few small problems afterwards.
Google Chrome refused to update no matter what I tried, taking screenshots wouldn't work and I couldn't delete the firmware files on the internal storage. So I ended up reverting back to the stock KitKat room, unrooted with no TWRP.
This phone is gift to someone so I'd like it to be in perfect working order, but I would like it to run stock LG Lollipop as well as Marshmallow when it comes out soon.
First question is, is there a way to update the firmware with an official LG software or do I have to flash it? I've heard when you're 2 firmwares behind OTA no longer works.
If not, what files do I need from storagecow (I can't post the link cus I'm new) to do a proper flash? The .zip only contains boot.img and system.img but I've heard you need the modem file as well?
I GREATLY appreciate any help. Please note I'm only after official LG firmware, no cyanogenmod or anything.

You'll have to root, and use a custom stock rom. It'll only OTA update if you insert an active AT&T sim.
