It's a new T-Mobile LG G2 that I decided to try to root, but realized that I had installed the OTA, disabling me to. During the process of trying to downgrade, however, it failed. After trying to restart the phone, the phone simply goes back into firmware mode. I have no idea of what to do. Please help!
Hopefully this question is in the right place. I have an LG L90 from Univision which is essentially the same as the T mobile L90 model d415. I rooted it and installed TWRP on it, and want to get rid of it without going through a ton of steps so my question is this... If I use the phones stock "reset to factory" option from boot or otherwise will it overwrite TWRP and root? I already tested to see if I could get to the reset to factory option from boot, but I am concerned with the changes I have made might brick the phone.
My gut instinct is that it is. The Risio is H343, the Leon for MetroPCS is MS345, and the Leon for T-Mobile is H340N. Phone Scoop says they're all the same, but of course they're not an authoritative source: http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=4705
When my G3 gets back from warranty service next week, I want to try putting the Leon TWRP build on my Risio: https://twrp.me/devices/lgleonlte.html
I realize I could brick the phone and that's fine. My question is whether or not there's any sort of prep I can do beforehand to (possibly) put it back to rights in case I do. If there's some information I can pull from the phone that might help, let me know. It's been successfully rooted using Kingroot (specifically NewKingrootV4.52_C127_B227_office_release_2015_09_28_105203.apk).
TIA!
EDIT: Now I'm even more convinced. According to CPU-Z, the model is "c50_crk_us", the board is "msm8916", and most importantly, the hardware is "c50" (same as the "code name" for the Leon LTE on TWRP's site). Is there any way to tell which bands my modem supports? The TMO Leon supposedly supports band 12, while the Risio and MetroPCS Leon supposedly do not.

Eh, I used Kingroot to get root and then tried to throw on the TWRP build for the C50 using the TWRP app. No dice, but it rebooted just fine. Then I tried to replace Kingroot with SuperSU, but that borked it somehow. It would hang forever at "Android is updating..." (or one of those other messages) and just never finish. When I tried to boot into recovery, I got a secure boot error, so apparently I borked the recovery install, too.
I told LG it got messed up during a software update and they gave me a prepaid label to send it to them for warranty repair. They restored it and sent it back to me without any hassle. Since I already had my G3 back from them, I sold the Risio.

Good luck!
I'm feeling like an idiot at the moment. I acquired an S8 today and was planning on giving my old optus acquired S6 to a friend. Not properly following any guides I managed to do a factory reset on my device. Only now it seems to be stuck on the Samsung boot up logo. Not sure what to do from here. Original plan was to root it and have a clean slate.
Any guidance or help would be more than appreciated.
Disregard this.
I managed to get my phone into a download screen and acquire new firmware which I installed via Odin3. Phone is now functioning again, minus all the forced software from my original carrier. Feeling good, even though I probably just lucked out.
Thanks anyway.
