Hello, is there any way to restore my H950 5.1.1 AT&T back to stock firmware?
Today I rooted the phone and everything was going OK, then I deleted some apps LG and AT&T apps, rebooted and now I have a very nice Error Authentication #9 screen and the phone won't boot.
I tried to restore the system with LG Mobile Support Tool, it recognizes the phone.
So I tried to upgrade recovery, enter my IMEI and the connect the phone in download mode, then the LG Tool seems to get stuck, but if I click the exit button, it comes back to the initial screen.
Is there any chance to recover this phone by myself? I can't send it to LG because I don't live in US.
With 5.1 and at&t rom is impossible without the kdz if you dont keep rootedsystem in your internal storage

Damn, after the phone bricked I tried a hard reset with no luck, the rootedsystem.img was on internal storage before that.
Is there a way to check if the file its still there?

Last time I used this tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/development/root-easy-root-att-flex-2-5-1-1-t3178354
Now I can't connect the phone on debug mode, should I put It on download mode and try to root again?
It seems that rootedsystem.img its gone from my internal storage, I tried to recover the phone by doing the root process again, but the tool stays at "working..." screen.
Is this phone a nice brick then? Is there any chance to recover it in the future?

maybe, If att relases the kdz or tot files.
Or if bootloaders becomes unlocked some day...
if you sell the phone and is in exellent cosmetic state, contact me please
Ok, I'll wait for a solution then. I hope for the best. I will try to make the warranty service valid with AT&T.

I think you only need to do the root process again to go out from softbrick.

ok ill explain the best i can for you.
Lets say for example that the bootloader was unlocked for the flex 2, if we downgraded with the current method that I did, then youll end up with a brick BECAUSE...after the 5.1.1 update, the bootloader was also updated, but if we had an unlocked bootloader, it would be no problem because then you can get right into fastboot since the bootloader is unlocked. however the reason my flex 2 bricked was because you cant downgrade bootloaders unless there is a specific way to do so, and if its unlocked...well since mine wasnt on the flex 2, when i flashed the TOT from ZV5 OVER a ZV6 bootloader, the rest of the partitions flashed, except for the bootloader end of it because it returned a "Version on phone is currently newer than the one being flashed" and declined the flash, since ZV5 wasnt build around the ZV6 bootloader, it doesnt know how or what to boot..
thats just a simple version, going into specifics is the Devs department, but in lamen terms, thats whats going on..if we had an unlocked bootloader it wouldnt be an issue because we could flash an older bootloader without the phone rejecting it. but once root is achieved on 5.1.1 then there will be a way to restore the FLex 2, the G3 you have although it may not have an unlocked bootloader, its been out for long enough to where exploits have been discovered, but if youre referring to upgrading and downgrading on Custom Roms, thats not the same thing, its only for official TOT's and KDZs or Official LG Firmware.
it would be like trying to flash a sprint variant with a tmobile rom....its just not built for it, its like having a Ford mustang with a V6 and trying to put a V8 motor in it without changing the computer/wire harness etc. it will fit...but it just wont work.
did that help for you to understand?

Ya i understand that part... Ive dealt with bricked phones... Ive recovered all but one.... Why are some able to downgrade though... In another thread soomeones says hes gone back aand forth a couplw times... Thats why i was confused..
So there's no way to root the Sprint lg g flex 2 (ls996) once it's on 5.1.1? Because we can't downgrade right? Wish I knew this before I bought one off Swappa.

Yeah I don't regret buying the g flex 2 considering I got it for $260 on Swappa. Really happy I got top of the line hardware for this price. I'm sure root will come or maybe a way to unlock bootloader so we can downgrade.

how would i go about doing that ? the image file for rooting seems to be only v15a at the moment while im on v15b now and any site i see that has tutorials saying "to extract system.img you need the system.img file" confusing me so much..

dd command ? thats new what does that do?
Ok so I purchased a brand new Sprint G Flex 2 on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/221950977883 and to my surprise it was already rooted with firmware ZV6 so now I can't take OTA updates since it stops updating halfway through the update and the green Android guy lies on his back with the "error" message. I already did the full unroot method using SuperSU but still a no go. Before I send this phone back to the seller I want to make sure if there is any hope in fixing this issue and allowing the updates. I also downloaded the root checker app to see if root was gone and it states root is not configured correctly. Not sure what that means as I used SuperSu to fully unroot. Any help would be appreciated as I only have 14 days to return this device to seller but I do not want it rooted as it prevents updates through Sprint. Thanks.

Download the version you have, DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY VERSION THAT ISNT THE ONE YOU ARE USING YOU WILL BRICK. ZV6 for ZV6.
Here are the stock image files uploaded by me.
Follow this guide its the root guide but its the fastest method to unroot using stock images (same procedure). Good luck! :good:

Those who want to unroot and go back to stock ZV6 (so they can get the OTA ZV9 update) should be able to use these "dd" flashing instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-fl...5-1-1-t3169212
along with the stock ZV6 firmware image from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-fl...k-img-t3217089
However, you will not only lose root. You will also lose the SIM carrier unlock. After reverting your phone to stock, your phone will be carrier locked to Sprint. That's because carrier unlocking is done by altering some "node db" system files.
After applying the OTA update to ZV9, you will have to redo both the carrier unlocking and the rooting of your phone. It's doable, but it's just something to keep in mind.

Thanks for the info. I have one question though. I did the unroot method using SuperSU and was wondering if that will not be enough to get OTA updates once I get my Sprint SIM card installed. From my knowledge if the system files were messed with OTA updates won't work correct and in this case you stated that carrier unlocking involves altering node db system files. So even if I did the full unroot method using SuperSU the altered files would remain correct?

I believe you are correct. Since the eBay seller altered some system files (that's probably why he rooted all these phones and installed SuperSU) to achieve the carrier unlocking, the OTA update for ZV9 is failing. Even if you unroot and delete all traces of SuperSU, I think the OTA will still fail. The update script probably does some sort of checksum verification of all the Android OS files before proceeding.
Also, I don't think you need a Sprint SIM in order to do the OTA update. I believe the OTA comes from LG's servers, not from Sprint. I've heard of people getting the OTA update even if they are using an AT&T or T-Mobile SIM. As long as your phone has data (cellular or Wifi) I think the OTA will download. But as you've found out, it won't install unless you go back to stock.

From the guide you just have to follow
1. Download and extract the stock img.
2. Transfer it to the root of your internal sdcard (images are usually named ZV6system.img) avoid moving the complete zip.
3. Put your phone in download mode (you can figure this out)
4. Use the dd command for your variant in your case LS996, just change the name of the ¨rootedsystem.img¨ to the one you downloaded.
Aaaaaaaaaaaand you´re done :good:

I did everything in the guide and phone even rebooted when I typed LEAVE after the "#" prompt but I still can't take OTA and Android guy falls on back with "error" message. I have another question when I click in the status section in the About phone settings and I scroll down to Brand it lists Chameleon. Is this normal?
Did you download the stock image from the forum I made?
Cause if you flashed your current system.img then you flashed the rooted one.
Make sure you are using the Send_command on the diag port of your phone if you arent doing this then you wont flash correctly and phone will stay rooted.
And yes, when the phone hasnt been unlocked internationally Chameleon is the ¨Sprint stock way¨

I did flash the ZV6 stock image from your forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/return-to-stock-ls996-stock-img-t3217089 and I used the send command to port 5 because that is where the Diag port is when I double click the ports.bat file. I actually tried this method twice and I still am not able to update without error. Maybe I do need a SIM card installed and will try it tomorrow when I get my SIM delivered from Sprint. Thanks a lot for the tips though.

Thats kind of weird you know, I OTA updated my phone even after international SIM unlocked.
How long does the flash process take? If it takes less than a minute then its not doing things as it should.
Did you enable USB Debugging before flashing?
Have you tried to Factory Reset after flashing the stock ZV6 system.img?

I do have USB Debugging enabled. The flash process takes around 1 minute and then the # shows up indicating it finished and then I type LEAVE and phone reboots. I even tried the factory reset after flashing it with the stock ZV6 image. This is very interesting but I will wait until tomorrow to make a decision on whether to keep the phone when I insert the SIM and see if that helps any. Thanks Alex for all your help.
I forgot to ask this but do I have to type the commands or is copying and pasting ok.

Well it depends on how did you copy/paste the command.
To flash the ZV6system.img it should be like this:
dd if=/data/media/0/ZV6system.img bs=8192 seek=58368 count=522240 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

Thanks for your patience with me. Do I have to run both the dump and flash commands as I have only been doing the flash command and maybe that is the problem?
is this how the commands should be typed?
Dump command:

Flash command:

I'm in a similar boat w/ a slightly different issue. I bought the same phone from the same guy and have not been able to get it to activate on Sprint at all. Well, it "activates" but then it errors on updating the PRL. I have LTE data, but no call ability. It is very strange.
So far I have:
Unrooted via SuperuserSU app that was installed
Taken it to Sprint store and had them do everything they could (while being condescending about buying a phone not from them)
Played with every setting I can find
Factory reset many times at many stages
Flashed to the stock ZV6
Installed 2 OTA updates (now a third is coming through)
And every time, I get a your phone has been activated message, followed by trying to update the PRL and failing, leaving me in the same place I was to begin with. I'll try it again after this latest OTA update I'm getting, but I'm running out of things to try and I'm extremely frustrated lol. Anybody had the same problem? Any ideas? Anything? I don't know if maybe it's just a defective phone... sigh. Thanks in advance for any help!

Did you get a new SIM card from Sprint or did you use an old one because Sprint told me they need to send us one that has been programmed for the LG G Flex 2. On another note when flashed the stock ZV6 image did you send both the dump and flash commands and did you have problems getting the updates before you flashed to stock. Thanks.

Did you get a new SIM card from Sprint or did you use an old one because Sprint told me they need to send us one that has been programmed for the LG G Flex 2.

I picked up a new one at the Sprint store. I would hope they knew which one to give me haha. I only used the flash command. And yes, I had the same issue as you did with getting the updates before I flashed. No problem with that now, 3 updates later I'm on ZV9. Now if I could just get the phone activated...
Hey Mates!
I've been looking for a solution but cant find any helpful advices.
I have rooted my Motorola G; 2 days ago, no problem. As soon as I rebooted it, it wont boot.
these are the errors that occur when I try to boot it
-hab check failed for boot
-failed to verify hab image boot
-failed to validate boot image
Fastboot Reason: Fall-through from normal boot mode
When I try to go to recovery, it says "no command".
It also says that my device is locked.
Meanwhile I've connected it with my PC and I tried to run the desktop version, but no changes so far.
I'd really need your help
Have you tried to reflash the stock kernel?

No I did not. Do you recommend it?
This "how to" is for Samsung Galaxy, I know, but I guess it would be a similiar way to reflash the stock kernel of the Moto G?
Thanks in advance.

How do you rooted?

It seems like the link between your pc and phone was lost during data transfer. Ensure to have the link between the mobile and pc secured. Try replacing the drivers and the usb cable with a good quality one. Loose connections can also cause this type of problem. Something similar happened to me too...
After above flash factory firmware to revive your device first. You can root it subsequently.
You can get all the information in the forum under the Factory Firmware thread. Be careful to download the firmware compatible for your mobile model only.

When I rooted my phone I never connected it with my Moto G; after I couldnt boot it, I tried if it would work somehow. I rooted my device with RootKing which was an app on my device.

It is not clear if your phone's bootloader has been unlocked or not. Rooting apps have been known to create issues with Moto G3. I tried to root my phone (which has its bootloader unlocked) with the Kingroot app. Although I could succeed and boot the device, the signals vanished. Hence I adapted the traditional way of rooting using the fastboot mode.
If you have still issues of not being able to boot your phone, then please flash stock firmware available in Factory Firmware thread of this forum (you can flash even though your bootloader is unlocked) as per details given there in. You can root your phone later. If you have an unlocked bootloader, there are other posts to guide you how to ulock the bootloader first. Please note you cannot modify software if your bootloader is locked.
Hello Android-Wizzards,
i am stuck in a Bootloop to stock recovery mode since i tried to downgrade my mi note 10 pro from MIUI 12 V12.1.4.0.RFDEUXM to MIUI 12 V12.1.3.0.RFDEUXM via the update app .
After the OTA update to 12.1.4. i could not make any calls anymore so i searched for a way to downgrade to 12.1.3, where the problem was not present. I did it with the internal update app and followed this instruction: https://www.world-today-news.com/th...evert-your-xiaomi-a-buggy-update-xiaomi-news/
Sadly i didnt make a backup before anf after the rom finished installing it only boots to stock recovery anymore. If i try to connect the device via "Connect with MIAssistant" it does not work.
I searched the forums but i cant find a way to install MIUI 12 V12.1.4.0.RFDEUXM again.
The tutorials mention that if i want to recover my phone i have to use MIflash or fastboot flash which both need a unlocked bootloader according to the tutorials.
Sadly i did NOT unlock the bootloader when the phone was working normal and i dont see a method to umlock the bootloader an a bricked / bottloped mi note 10 pro.
Its bad enough that cause i didnt make a backup befor i tried to downgrad i must assume that all my pbhotos i took this year with my note 10 pro are lost forever, Mi cloud backup is full since last year and i didnt bother to pay for more space, another bad decicion in hindsight but is there a way i can restore my phone?
Please help, i dunno what else to do to get my phone booting up agian.
Had a simmilar problem with an older mi phone of mine a few years ago and then it wasnt a problem cause i could easyli flash it with MIflash, but dunno since when you have to unlock bootloader first and since i didnt know that my phone has a locked bootloader, never minded to unlock it.

Did you try wipe data with the recovery?
or try this old method.
Did you try to flash the rom in recovery again?
