Great for newbies..

Great job! But how can I extract the contents of the .kdz firmware file without actually installing it? (Please note that I'm not at all familiar to the LG-way of doing firmware.)

There's currently no point of extracting the contents because they are encrypted.

Hello, please help me. i bought optimus 3d p920 from UK, was on stock 2.2.2, had rooted n installed clockwork v5.0.2.0, i have backed up the stock rom via CWR, i software updated from mobile , it was a 4.5mb update n after that the phone is not going past CWR, i tried to restore backup via CWR no luck. please help is my phone is bricked?Thanks

Try to fix permissions.
If it doesn't work, refer on this section to two guides about manually updating via KDZ. It's piece of cake, so don't worry, your phone isn't bricked at all.

Thanks for the reply, i tried to flash kdz file but, after port change step when i try to launch B2CAppSetup.exe , it says no internet connection , connect to internet then continue, even though my net is on. what iam i doing wrong?

Wouldn't work for me. When I got to clicking Start update it jumped straight to the usual update app and told me my phone was on latest firmware... I guess it was to do with the shttp; I couldn't use it because crappy Symantec End Point threw a fit when I extracted the archives so I tried using WAMP (Apache server) and changed the port to 9002 as instructed...
Also my phone went crazy trying to get into download mode. I had to time releasing VOL+PWR when device manager detected the port or it told me I had unplugged it.
After I gave up I had to reboot my phone three times and then set the clock!
I'm stuck with 21a still

Right, managed to flash my phone at home on my laptop but after rooting and installing Touch CWM, I finally booted my phone, went through the initial setup wizard and then was asked which launcher app I wanted to use; LG one or GO Launcher???!!!! Bearing in mind that I have formatted the internal and external storage, gone to CWM and done factory reset, where the hell is this coming from? I looked in manage applications and I can see GO Launcher is installed (along with its widgets and themes), ES File explorer is installed and so is AlarmClock Plus... WTF!
I downloaded the KDZ from LG site so I cant see it being dodgy but I am totally confused where it got these apps from and how it installed them... I know you can put .apk files in a certain folder on the sdcard and it will auto install them but I dont have these apk's at all!
Hsd the ROM been really clever and realised I had these apps on before when I tried 21B and found I couldnt root it??
Anyway! Thanks for an awesome guide.. I did have to make a couple of changes to get mine to work...
When installing the B2CApp updater, I had to put the HOSTS file back the orig or it wouldnt install.
When trying to get into Download mode, I had to again time the release of the vol/pwr keys or it said the drivers failed to install...
But thanks a bunch! I am now on V21d

That is strange indeed. I haven't downloaded V21D so I wouldn't know, but you did a data wipe in recovery?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II w/ CM9

Yep, did a full wipe in recovery before doing anything...
Not to worry though, I removed the apps and then took a backup of the ROM for future use!

HEY dark its me it was starting to load but in the middle of the process it said communication error or something?

This slight difference doesn't make it worthy a new thread.
This is called copying, it's 99% the same.

Well... As I said already to Karim Kahale before. SmartFlash make more problems than good stuff. I know that LGFlashTools is a bit more complicated but it do much better and clean job. Take a look here. Your threat is the same like Karim Kahale one just with another bin file. You have not opportunity to use large partition, the rom is not Rooted, 90% of the cases you end up with lost IMEI... so you end up with much more work to do.

[Guide] LG V10 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ & TOT Method

Here are all the current KDZ files for flashing Your LG V10 Back to Stock!
Will Be adding Firmwares as I get them, Give me a little time to fix up the guide a little as it WILL be the SAME method as the G2 and G Pro, G Flex, Etc. KDZ's & TOT's HERE
NOTICE! - IF you download fails or does not download all the way USE A DOWNLOAD MANAGER!, Files that are usually over 1GB browsers have issues downloading them especially if you have a slow connection.
First Off Not Responsible if you flash the wrong one!!!!
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
LGUP Method flashes both KDZ & TOT files:
Thanks to @shakeyabooti for LGUP!
Download LGUP from HERE
Install the file with the DLL name in them first and then LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3 Then copy the folder "common" to C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model (this should resolve unknown error)
Make sure you have downloaded the required KDZ file MM or LP
Open LGUP on your computer "make sure your phone is plugged in"
ARE YOU HAVING TROUBLE WITH LGUP NOT SEEING YOUR MOBILE?
Try this....... take the back off your mobile so you can get at the battery. Connect your mobile via USB. Start LGUP, if it does not see your phone DO NOT DISCONNECT, DO NOT RESTART OR TURN OFF LGUP. Take out the battery and then put it back in.......let the phone restart on its own. LGUP should now see it.
LG Drivers: All Others - HERE Verizon - HERE
TO DO A FULL WIPE AND INSTALL MM - Open the LGUP on your computer. FILE PATH point it towards the MM KDZ.
IMPORTANT!!!!!!! shut down LGUP!
Now open LGUP again - you will notice that the MM KDZ will still be showing in the FILE PATH section. Select REFURBISH and make sure BIN file is ticked. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient
TO GO BACK TO LP FROM MM - Open LGUP on your computer, click on FILE PATH and point it towards your LP KDZ. Close LGUP and re-open LGUP. Make sure you select REFURBISH this will do a FULL wipe, tick BIN file. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient​

Hi,
I bought my V10 at expansys australia, and the version is H961N Dual Sim,
but the software version is v10b-SEA-XX instead of v10b-HKG_XX, I believe it is a singapore version.
Any one has the v10b-SEA-XX kdz file?
or
Is that compatible to flash v10c-HKG-XX on my Singapore version of V10???

These .KDZ files look to come from the LG site although I have not been able to verify them or test flashing them yet.

Did you drag that window over?? That's normal. That message is supposed to come up.. In most cases when you drag it over you'll see it's actually flashing. It says that because there's not as it's not needed. But you should be using LGUP not the older flash tool

Download everything, try anyway but always the same error, or firehose error or Sahara error. Download different versions of Qfil, remove the driver signature, probe in windows 7 and windows 10, and I could never make it work.
With the lg firmware extract remove the DZ from the firmware h900021w. Once I had the DZ, I extracted it in another folder. That same folder I copied into the BIN folder of the QFIL, but I did not achieve anything either. The unbrick files must be in the firmware folder (copy and paste). Or they should be in a separate folder) Also try the 2 ways and nothing, maybe this is doing something wrong

Does it work on LG v10 h901 ?

Hello Cranknet

can you please post a fix for lg v10 t-mobile version

if have any new unbrick files pls i need them

Thanks very much! Worked for me.

plz plz plz
can u give me the qfil for lg h901bk plz plz plz

thanks very much it worked for me

I bought a V10 H901 in Aliexpress and the IMEI sayd that was a H901BK. It was with the T-Mobile software and Android 6 MM. In PC it said the H90121j and I wanted to upgrade to 7 Nougat and I put the phone in the PC and after the update with LG Bridge it just bricked. Died and do not back to life. I unbreacked my phone with this tutorial.
The Unbrick H901 SD card didn't work, but this worked.
After that, I tried to install all H901 firmwares and didn't work. So I decided to install the H900 firmware and the phone finelly worked. It's working everything fine with no malfunction. Just the Android back to 6 MM, but with the AT&T apps.
I didn't understand nothing. My phone was a fake H901, because is a Refurbished phone. I'd like to install the Nougat update. Is it possible?

My Lg V10 was t mobile version phone on lollipop and F600L motherboard ,
i tried to flash it with lg bridge.
But it bricked, finally your method worked but , still the thing is now my network is disabled. Cellular Radio is off.
Please help to turn the cellular radio on.

Is there any way of forcing it to Qualcomm mode 9008? I have a H900 that wouldn't let me flash 20j via LGUP, and had to try 21w, which caused the device to be stuck at the LG logo and freezes at the factory reset screen after pressing the power button to initiate the factory reset.

If you already flash 21w and let it run, I'm afraid you can't go back to 20j. But you can go to 9008 mode by using deep flash cable (easy to make, just google it) or open the board and short the 2 points (once again, google it).

[HOW TO] Recover from any hardbrick or red case in 9008 mode without ANY BOXEs

Well guys, its finally here!! You can finally unbrick your device without any jtag,medusa, octopus box!!
DISCLAIMER: IM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS DOES SOMETHING BAD TO YOUR DEVICE WHICH IT SHOULDNT.
WARNING: THIS WILL DELETE EVERYTHING IN THE INTERNAL STORAGE OF THE DEVICE!!
FAQ"
1.,)My phone blinks red and i cant boot into 9008 mode at all. What can i do?
A. From what ive expreniced, you need to take out the back and touch two test points on the g7 while connected to the pc with a tweezer.
from another thread :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2,) I keep getting shara failed, the firehose is in the right folder and the xml files as well. Everything is in the same folder.
A. There are two reasons why it may fail.
1 Make sure you install the drivers correctly.!! Windows 10 has driver signature enforcment enabled on default so you need to disable that and install the 9008 drivers. To check if your drivers are installed correctly open up Device manager via searching it in the windows bar then go into ports and make sure theres no question mark or an yellow exclamation (!) sign next to it. If there is you have you disable signature enforcement and install the drivers manually. To do that you can google it cause theres a bunch of ways to do it.
2. if the drivers are installed correctly then you should try two things. One run it as admin and check if you can open up parition manager or load the files. and two is to reboot into edl mode by holding down Vol - and then power then once it turns off and on again at the lg logo, hold it down and reboot into edl mode again.
3.Red case:
You may have the red case cause you locked your bootloader by accident or you never unlocked it or something happened. Just use this guide to flash the abl file https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/how-to-partitions-flash-abl-t-mo-t4051249 then do fastboot oem unlock then flash back the abl for your android verison.
Requirments:
-A computer of course
-USB cable to connect your phone to the pc
-This oreo firmware https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/17341/G710ULM11g_01_NAO_US_OP_1112.kdz
-The unbrick files from here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1gozwGTc8BT1w_gb230GUT4RP_Mwe5fz4
-KDZ Tools: https://github.com/ANEP-ET/kdztools/archive/master.zip
-Python installed :https://www.python.org/downloads/
Steps:
AA. You can download this, extract them and skip steps 1, and 5-9
https://drive.google.com/file/d/19JBomkFdFglUqFhF3jFsJ-H2WJN4Dwp0/view?usp=sharing Thanks to @avilav
BB. You can do it your self too ill leave them in the steps
1. Download and install python
PYTHON INSTALL STEPS:
a. Download and install python 2.7
b.Download and install C++ Compiler for python2.7: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44266
c. Download and install thus redistruble
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145
D. After everything is done installing open C:/Python2.7/Scripts folder and right click and open powershell
E. Type CMD then enter and then put
Code:
pip install zstandard
F. After thats done continue with the next steps. And you can close that window
2, Download all the files above and extract them into one folder. Make sure to extract everything INSIDE the kdztools folder.
3. Run the qpst file you extracted and install it
4. A.If your phone is already in 9008 mode and stuck there make sure to hold down and power for at least 10-20 seconds while connected to your pc and should reboot back to it.
B. If it doesnt boot into download mode or android at all but theres a picture or bootlooping or at fastboot mode etc... or at the white lg logo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__MY0qB1G8c use this tutorial to boot into 9008 mode. Plug your device into the computer, then hold power then down the turn it off and then quicky let go of power and press and hold power then rapidly press the vol+ button and you should be at a black screen and should be in 9008 mode. To check: Open up device manager and check ports and should say qualcomm 9008 mode. If it says something like qhubulk usb an theres an exclamation on it make sure to right click update drivers and search automatically on the internet. Otherwise youre gonna have to find the drivers your self online which isnt hard.
5. Once you confirm that you are there right click in the folder where you extracted everything open up Powershell or if you have it to set to command prompt open that.
6. In powershell type cmd and press enter.
7. Type:
Code:
unkdz.py -f G710ULM11g_01_NAO_US_OP_1112.kdz -x
then press enter
8. Wait a while and ignore the warning about offsets and stuff like that and dont close it yet.
9. After its done open up the kdz extracted folder and move the .dz file it generated back into where you extracted everything and then run this command in that same command prompt:
Code:
undz.py -f G71011g_01.dz -c
10. Wait while this also finishes, again ignore the warnings.
11. Place the rawprogramfiles0-6.xml's into the dzextracted folder it created this time
12. Now its time to flash, so open up qfil, you can just search it in the search bar on windows 10.
13. In the qfil window, select click configuration on top then firehouse configuration then make sure you change device type to UFS then click ok
14. Select Flat Build then in the programmer path select the prog_ufs_firehose_Sdm845_lge.elf file.
15. In the search path put the location of the dzextracted where all the files are extracted should be where theres a bunch of different bins

It'z easier to use Cygwin. Download it and install. Open Cygwin
After the $ type pip install zstandard as zstd press enter it will find the .whl file it needs to run in python to extract any dz file your having problems with or other files you need for python.

Cross flash to the G710ULM21d_00_NAO_US_OP_0711.kdz and use qfil to backup what you need. (Boot_a.img, Boot_b.img).
Here's a good guide to help you. It's from the of LG v40 forum but you can use it for your device.

You cant use the 21d with the rawprogran files. These are only for that oreo kdz. You can flash them back to pie later.
