I don't understand these directions from the FAQ:
"Q. How to get back to stock? I need to give my phone to warranty services how do I revert to official LG rom?
A. Check this thread. It is the v10b 2.2 stock rom as a flashable zip package. If you can't access the recovery, then see if the firmware for your country is available here or use this tool. Download the firmware and use the KDZ tool to flash. You will find instructions to use the KDZ tool on this thread. For a picture guide, check this thread.
Also for official GB lovers, see this and this. It is a v20g rom in flashable zip package. Or if you'd rather flash v20c/g roms from LGMDP, the links for that can be found in this thread.
If you are on Optimus V, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1025911
If you are on the Optimus T, see this post. Uses the KDZ method.
Q. How do I restore the stock recovery?
A. Download the original recovery zip file from here and flash it. (Yes, you can flash a recovery from within recovery itself)"
I have LG P500 from USA T-Mobile. I'm on V20 Baseband.
1)Is kdz the only way to go back to stock?
2)Which way is the safer and better way to get back to stock?
3)How (full instructions) to get back to stock rom for USA T-Mobile?
4)How (full instructions) to get back to stock recovery for USA T-Mobile?
yes you can flash a recovery from recovery, if it is a flashable zip
you need to stick with your phone not other variants of LG p500, O-1(Europe), O-T or O-V, dunno what is the T-mobile USA version, but is it written inside your phone under battery
1) KDZ is for flashing software in your phone, but beware, if you are unexperienced you may brick your phone for good, but you can try it, DO NOT PULL OUT BATTERY OR DO SOMETHING WHILE KDZ IS NOT FINISHED FLASHING PHONE OR YOU WILL HARDBRICK IT (but, I do not think someone at service will notice that, after a hardbrick, it just went dead and nothing else, nobody knows nothing)
2)if you do not know what are you doing, nothing is safe, anyway, as I mentioned, a hardbrick is a hardbrick and if you still have warranty, you are lucky
3)http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824618 search there
4) LG P500 doesn't have stock recovery(just bootloader)
if you do not know what to flash try to find a T-mobile rom image (MAKE A REQUEST-someone will post it), and first time when flashing a recovery is to backup original rom for what will come after
LGMDP will work like this, it upgrades rom when you have an older version, so try to flash an older custom rom, find an Froyo 2.2 and flash it as any custom rom, boot, conect your phone to PC, that means that you have LG USB drivers installed, start LGMDP and w8 to detect your phone, after that goto options & help, select country, carrier, phone, w8 to detect latest update, start update
in case that your phone is not detected, boot into recovery, goto mounts and mount USB, that will make LGMDP detect your phone, start updating

KDZ is generally discouraged . However if you can find a Nandroid back up of GB , then that would be the safest way . I went back to stock froyo with the help of this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955354

Your have V20 that is new baseband so any rom from GingerBread onwards is good for you . Stock recovery can be flashed sitting right from custom recovery . Check out this thread for custom recovery and ROM of 2.3.3 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1309744 .

I have a D800, recently unbricked by shorting pins, and i have managed to install TWRP and download mode is working. I can't run any rom. I need to flash a KDZ through download mode.
But all the KDZ are of 10a/10b etc , does any body know where I can find a 30x KDZ or how to upgrade without flashing numerous FOTAs?
or will my phone boot up if i install http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=13450? i think not, but still need to know.

The AT&T D800 uses a TOT file to flash back to stock. Are you in the right section? If you have a D800 you can use this to go back to KK and it's just one FOTA thru AT&T to go to LP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663369
Hi,
I wanted to install a custom rom but seems like it was unsuccesful.. D: Now i'm stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy S6" logo. I can enter the recovery mode though. Is there a way to fix it?
There's also a message in red which says "recovery is not seandroid enforcing".
Thanks in advance!
*Solved: Flashed the wrong version of twrp. That caused the issue. Flashed the 5.1.1 stock rom problem solved

Here are two separate techniques. First try a factory data reset from recovery. If that fails use odin to restore the stock firmware

Oh wait, just re-readed what i typed. Seems like it rolled back. The problem started after installing the recovery. 1st i rooted it with odin which worked after testing if i had root. Afterwards i installed twrp with odin aswell, rebooted and everything was still working. Then i went to flashify and chose "boot to recovery" which led me to my actual problem.
During the instalation of twrp i din't have any issue, it just said "Pass". So no recovery mode for me
Can i just download the stock rom 5.0 from the forums? I had android 5.1. If not, is there any place to download the stock 5.1 rom? (Sammobile is way too slow)
Also, when i said "i can enter recovery mod though" i meant, download mode.

Download mode is totally different from recovery mode. As long as you can boot into download mode you should install stock 5.0.2 through odin. It will unbrick and unroot

You can't go back to 5.0.2 if you took the 5.1.1 update because of the new bootloader also the reason you are stuck on the splash screen was because you started with 5.1.1 and probably used an older version of TWRP use 2.8.7.1 not 2.8.7.0 or anything lower because 2.8.7.1 is the only one that works for 5.1.1 on this new bootloader.
Odin back to 5.1.1 not 5.0.2 and I understand SamMobile is very slow so use this thread it has most firmwares mirrored http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/stock-firmware-official-stock-firmware-t3086387

Just in case i downloaded both. So i just have to reflash 5.1.1 and use TWRP 2.8.7.1 right? Welp, just noticed by checking my downloads that i downloaded the 2.8.6.0, now everything makes sense. Going to go back to stock and do all the procedure once again. I'll keep in touch!

OK, correct flash 2.8.7.1 and flash to 5.1.1 but if you go back to 5.0.2 then you will brick your phone also tip when flashing custom roms use unikernel or some kind of custom kernel because sometimes it won't boot also you will have this same problem if you flash a rom based on 5.0.2

Thanks for your help guys
I got the Galaxy S6 yesterday and coming from Nexus 5, I wanted to remove the existing bloatware by flashing the XtrestoLite Deodexed ROM. This one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/samsung-galaxy-s-6--s-6-edge-unified-development/rom-xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-3-t3119968
I'm haven't had much experience in rooting and it's my first time flashing a custom ROM. The phone was running on Android 5.1.1.
Apparently I failed. I started with CF-Root but I wasn't sure if it was done correctly. This was followed by TWRP 2.8.7.1 . Then I tried booting up the phone and the boot logo just loops. I tried to wipe the cache as well as the Delvik-cache through TWRP but it's still the same. Then I tried to flash the stock ROM that I found online but I got the error "Nand Write Start" followed by "Fail". I seem to have tried everything and now I just want to get the phone to work again. It shouldn't be so hard.
Someone help me please :crying:
Have you tried to flash the stock rom via Smart Switch software? There's an option in the top of the window where it says "More" called Emergency Recovery. When my S6 bricked nothing but that did the trick, you should give it a try.

How did you do it? I've installed the Smart Switch software but the device doesn't appear under the list in emergency software recovery, so I can't proceed.
Edit: I managed to do it through initialization. I'll update when it's done.
Edit 2: It worked! Thanks so much!

Your PC is recognizing your phone? If not maybe you shall update your drivers first. My S6 is the same model number as yours and it does appears in the Emergency Recovery list.
Another solution could be trying to flash using another version of Odin; I saw a similar problem on another forum and it was solved using Odin 3.10 to reflash the stock firmware.
Also remember that you can't downgrade your firmware once that you are on 5.1.1, no 5.02 or so allowed.

Since you're using the same model as mine, what are you running on your S6 right now? Are you able to root and flash a custom ROM like XtrestroLite onto Android 5.1.1?
Can you guys help me check if this post has the correct steps or is it missing anything like bootloader and root?

Actually yeah. Earlier tonight I flashed XtreStoLite over stock 5.1.1, but I must confess it wasn't as easy as I thought, mainly because I didn't followed the steps in the right way and I ended up having to root my phone through installing UniKernel, which is pre-rooted and that did the trick for me, because I got stuck in the Samsung logo right after I tried to flash with CF-AutoRoot, needless to say I obviously couldn't root with that method and had to reflash stock 5.1.1 firmware to unbrick my phone, install UniKernel, and after that I was able to enter my phone config, uncheck the reactivation block under Find My Mobile settings (which was the reason for me to get stuck at the S-logo) and then flash through Odin XtreStoLite deodexed and Xposed FW too, so I can tell you for sure that SM-G920I can run XSL like a charm.

1. So what is the correct order?
2. Did you have to manually unlock bootloader?
3. And is it a must to install uniKernel in order to root the device?
I have no idea how to proceed now.
This requires a lot more effort than I thought :fingers-crossed:
1. The correct order apparently WAS to flash 5.1.1 bootloader and modem over 5.0.2, then root, then TWRP, then flash XtreStoLite, or at least that was what I understood from Edgar's guide (as you can tell, I hurried myself too much and was to excited to flash XLS, so I didn't read properly).
Since I (and I think you did too) installed stock 5.1.1 first, there was no way to autoroot nor ping-pong root the device, that was the reason I got stuck in the Samsung logo screen after trying to autoroot, so I had to reflash stock 5.1.1 to regain access to the device settings/Find My Mobile as I explained before, after that I flashed UniKernel and that did the trick, no other steps were required to achieve root access beyond this point.
2. I didn't had to, but your carrier may have locked yours. My device is a SM-G920I (as yours) from Telcel carrier, so I can tell for sure.
3. There are several others way to root devices running over 5.0.2, but according to my personal research there aren't much options on 5.1.1 other than flash a pre-rooted kernel, but UniKernel isn't the only pre-rooted kernel, so you can choose whichever you like the most.
If I were you the first thing I'd try, as I said earlier, would be to switch to another Odin version or another firmware (as long as it is 5.1.1) and if that don't do the trick, then I'd update drivers and try via Smart Switch again.

What did you use to root? May I ask for the link? I just tried flashing CF AutoRoot and now I think it's bricked again. (RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING) I'm thinking it might be due to incompatibility because I got it from here (https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/#odin) and the Android version states 5.0.2.

Yep, that was the exact moment where mine got stuck too, as I stated before at that time I had to reflash stock firmware. The trouble is caused by CF-Autoroot, it won't work at all when you're on 5.1.1 (at least with SM-G920I) and if you try to root using this method, you'll get stuck with the message "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING". You'll have to reflash to stock too, I'm affraid...
Flash UniKernel via Odin once you're on 5.1.1 stock again and see the magic happen. Once you have root access, gained by this kernel, you can install TWRP and flash XtreStoLite or any other rom you may want. Here is the direct link to the post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/samsung-galaxy-s-6--s-6-edge-unified-development/kernel-stockmod-kernel-t3100395

I just did that before you suggested it and it worked! I was so elated! I love you bro (no homo). Our situations are identical. Now I have XtrestroLite running on the S6! Thank you so much!

3. Install UniKernel via TWRP
4. Install ROMs!

Now's time to enjoy! :good:
Hey.
Just installed TWRP from the guide on XDA (will post link later). Odin worked, everything was OK. Until I installed a ROM.
I have tried 4 different ROMs withone outcome - phone wont get past first boot screen - the one witn Samsung S-+ Powered by Android. No matter the minutes I wait, it just stays there. No Samsung logo as normal boot is displayed.
I can freely get to recovery or bootloader. But there is a problem - I dont know the precise string full model number after G955F*. Therefore I dont know what stock image or bootloader to choose.
My questions:
1. How to get back to working phone?
2. How to check the full model number in this situation?
TWRP works perfectly. Odin works. Just System wont boot...
Thanks in advance!
Tom
Did you flash magisk before the first boot ?
Did you forget to OEM Unlock ?
Did you flash the right firmware for your device ?
If you forgot to OEM Unlock your royally screwed, follow the steps again to the letter and try CF-Autoroot or magisk after first boot.
Tried both Magisk and SuperSu, both no luck. I did update the phone via OTA, did not flash anything besides TWRP via Odin. Both Magisk and SuperSu were part of AROMA for the ROM.
I have G955F European version. Can I flash any ROM from Any country that matches the model name (via Odin) or do I need specific version that corresponds with my previous stock ROM verson (string after G955F*).
I did unlock OEM on stock ROM before TWRP flash. Downloader mode shows Unlocked True.

That's exactly what i did for mine, odd try flashing the bat stock ROM, also fash the Notorious kernel.
You CSC in aroma should be set to multi ( it's the default selection ) keep everything stock when you flash the ROM and see if it boots before falshing anything else, there is a newer TWRP now ending 3.1.1-1.
Strange thing is, whenever I turn on my phone it boots straight to Recovery - like there's no system partition.
I will download and try BatStock. Should I upgrade bootloader & modem through Odin?
I'm also thinking about flashing stock ROM through Odin. Maybe this will work?
Also, it's strange - I don't see any other files than TWRP folder when I connect the phone to PC.
Installed BatStock Rom, same thing happens - stuck on SAMSUNG Galaxy S8+ Powered by Android and nothing happens.
BatStock ROM in Aroma has option to flash bootloader and modem. Should I use it?
