Worked perfect for me. The 1st time i tried i made the mistake of changing the time pass 11:30pm to a different time and didnt get update so i reflash kdz h63110l then set time to 11:30pm and before i could check for the update it was there.. It has awesome new features like video call.. Thanks for helping me get updated..

Worked?. Although, i never had any luck getting the updates by changing the setting in time and date, but apparently others have.

It amuses me to see just how damn reluctant my metroPCS (Tmobile rom'd) Stylo is on recieving the update to marshmallow.
It doesn't want to work, damn thing.

Actually, i was able to make Kingroot work (surprisingly) i followed the above steps (i.e. unlocked the bootloader via adb) and then ran the apk.
It was able to install the root, i was also able to remove the bloatware and root apps.

i have upgrade my metro-Stylo 4 time to TMBL 6.0 sometime it take 24 HR to get the upgrade just have patience you will get the 6.0

Turns out you're right, i disabled oem unlock and rebooted the phone only to be presented with an error.
live and learn, simply keep the oem unlock active at all times or don't root your device from now on.

I unlocked my bootloader via adb, the problem isn't that.
It's just that secure boot also needs to be disabled or else it fails.

If you use LG Flash tools with 30b KDZ, just find the 20g kit kat KDZ, download, and install it like you install lollipop, takes about 3 to 5 min. i downgrade cause of the same problem, t-mobile my **** battery drain...
Can you re-flash the 5.0.2? My D801 that I am testing has 5.0.2 and currently on battery for 71 hours with light use and still have over 50% battery left. (check e-mails, stream some music etc.)

Yep, you can flash back lollipop, but i dont know about root or twrp or cm12, i dont use it, i think i never will, and to get rid of some of the bloatware that consumes battery, try DEBLOATER, it block from starting some of the tmo apps... good luck:good:

Well first my english is not so good (i speak spanish and french) so explain you step by step the downgrade process... but im going to leave you a youtube video where they explain how to do it easy....

- 20G LG G2 TMOBILE KDZ (THIS FILE MOST BE COPIED ON THE FOLDER OF LG FLASH TOOLS 2014)
- LG FLASH TOOLS 2014
- LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL
- DRIVERS
FIRST STEP: TURN YOUR PHONE OFF.. WHEN OFF PRESS VOLUME UP AND PLUG THE USB CABLE, THE PHONE WILL ENTER DOWNLOAD MODE, WHEN YOU SEE THE SCREEN OF UPGRADING FIRMWARE LEAVE YOUR PHONE ON THE TABLE AND DONT TOUCH IT.....
SECOND STEP: GUESSING YOU ALREADY HAVE THE 20G LG G2 TMOBILE KDZ, OPEN THE LG FLASH TOOLS 2014 ON YOUR PC (IF YOU ARE ON WINDOWS 7 OR 8 8.1 ALWAYS RIGHT CLICK AND OPEN AS AN ADMIN)
THIRD STEP: LEAVE ALL THE PARAMETERS IN THE SCREEN LIKE THEY ARE, YOU ARE JUST GOING TO CLICK THE FOLDER WHERE SAYS "SELECT KDZ FILE" AND THEN SELECT THE 20G KDZ YOU DOWNLOAD ALONG SIDE OF OTHER KDZ, YOU JUST SELECT THE 20G KDZ (REMEMBER TO COPY THE 20G KDZ TO THE LG FLASH TOOLS 2014 FOLDER)
FOURTH STEP: OK ONCE YOU SELECTED YOUR KDZ YOU HAVE TO OPTIONS, NORMAL FLASH, IT SAVE YOUR FILES, CSE FLASH IT ERASE YOUR PHONE LIKE IS COMING OUT OF THE LG FACTORY (THATS THE ONE I CHOSE)
LAST STEP: ONCE YOU CHOOSE YOUR FLASH, A NEW WINDOWS IS COMING IN A FEW SECONDS ASKING TO SELECT THE LENGUAGE, SELECT ENGLISH, AND OK... LEAVE THE PROGRAM DO ITS THING AND THE PHONE PLUG IN (I LEAVE MY PHONE PLUG UNTIL ANDROID START THE START WIZARD JUST IN CASE)

[GUIDE] Installing and Rooting H950PR 5.1.1 from 5.0.1 10b

I caught the deal on ebay for an inexpensive Flex 2 not so long ago and, of course, the first thing I set out to do was update and root it.
The stock image ran 5.0.1, w/ firmware H950 v10b. I attempted an OTA update several days in a row, being told each time that none was available (the phone is AT&T branded and my service is through AT&T), but eventually grew impatient to get that sweet, sweet 5.1.1 action going.
After attempting to flash the 5.1.1 v11x rooted system image provided by randrew87 (here), I was greeted with a nifty little 'Security Error' boot screen and pursuant loop. Sadly, I wound up flashing the stock system dump I created following that tutorial to get back into a usable state.
Left with no other options (assuming, correctly, that I'm being impatient with OTA), I decided to try the 5.1.1 H950PR v15a firmware.
NOTE: Though I chose to flash the unrooted 5.1.1 H950PR image first, you may not have to complete this step; I'm not sure, but it's possible that you could simply write the rooted image instead.
First, I followed this wonderful tutorial by Sj12345: [KDZ] H950PR 5.1.1 compatible with ATT H950 with Video!!!
My initial plan was to write the unrooted system image and root using any of the available tutorials. Unfortunately, I couldn't get any of the tutorials to work for me as my device simply refused to allow r/w operations to /system while using the COM interface, regardless of my approach.
After a little trial and error, I discovered I could write the rooted H950PR-v15A image, provided here by Sj12345, and achieve root.
Here's how:
Download rootedsystem.img (from Sj12345's post)
Download LG Root Tools.zip (attached) and extract to a folder
Copy to the root of your internal sdcard via means of your choice (I used MTP mode and Explorer to drag and drop)
Power off your device
While holding VOLUME UP, insert a USB cable.
Open a Command Prompt window where you extracted the archive (easiest way is by holding Shift then right clicking within the folder > Open Command Prompt Here)
Double click ports.bat (included in the archive). Find the diagnostics port (in my case, COM4)
Type the following:
Code:
Send_Command.exe \\.\COM4
(replacing 4 w/ your com port)
You'll be greeted with a '#' prompt, terminal-style. From there, issue the following command (thanks to randrew87's thread):
Code:
dd if=/data/media/0/rootedsystem.img bs=8192 seek=53248 count=534528 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
The operation will take a couple of minutes. Once complete, you'll again be greeted with the '#' prompt.
Type LEAVE (all capitals), and hit enter. Your phone will reboot and have a clean, rooted image installed.
Profit.
This guide is obviously very specific, requiring H950v10b 5.0.1 firmware on an AT&T flex 2, no OTA availability, and a myriad of other issues (such as /system being readonly). My hope is that this will aid others who don't fall exactly into the parameters described in existing tutorials.
Thanks again to randrew87 and Sj12345 for their great posts and work; this thread is merely a slightly different approach to their pre-existing methods. They did the work, not me!
Hope this helps someone!
Regards
Smith
Any reason to go with h950pr instead of Ota 5.1.1 or simply just out of frustration of waiting? I'm asking cause I should get my att flex 2 tomorrow.

PR rom does not have all of the AT&T bloat. However, the main drawback that I'm aware of is that there is currently no way to go back to official AT&T. Seems everyone who has tried to do so has ended up with a bricked phone. You may also run into issues trying to get warranty honored once you move off the official AT&T version. So.. caveat emptor and all.
Most folks who really want the 5.1.1 OTA have managed to do so by laying down the minimum amount of cash for an AT&T gophone plan then getting on the horn with AT&T's tech support to have them manually push the update through.
Hi smithisize, thank you for your guide A very basic question, how do I know which version of root file to use? I just check in About Phone > Hardware Info and it said the phone was LG-H950.
Smithisize,
Thank you for the guide. I have a question.
My H950 has H950v10d 5.0.1 on it. I am just guessing that it would work for any 5.0.1 version.
Is this right?
Thanks again,
MB
Same here...
As Meatbag_1 written, I have the H95010d release witch rom we take???
Yes it will work for atnt g flex2 on atnt firmware 5.0.1 all subversions
Sent from my Lenovo P780 using Tapatalk
Isn't the latest software version for the US h950 the "v11x" version? Is it possible to flash that instead of the PR firmware?
No
Only OTA from AT&T
No flash

I tried rooting my newly flashed 5.1.1pr with this method and got authentication error 11. I had to reflash to get out of the boot loop. What am i doing wrong?
Thanks man. How can i root it in the first place?
I was trying HERE but i do not know which to dowload, if H950 V11X or H950 V11Z ... can you help me with that?
H950v10d 5.0.1 not rooted. Tried method from OP using H950PR 5.1.1 rootedsystem.img. Now I am stuck at Security Error bootloop. Where to go from here?
Nevermind... Phone started non stop bootlooping with no way to shut it off. So, I smashed it to bits.

First Flash the KDZ file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/kdz-compatible-att-h950-t3180847 using LG Flash Tool. I use Build 03/07/2014 Offline with modded hosts file.
Then download the Rooted H950PR-v15A image file from the link provided and continue with the guide.
btw: thanks for adding; you type: "LEAVE" in caps. No other guide seemed to mention that and when I did, it was the only time it actually rebooted my phone..:good:

I was able to get to download mode, but it would just go into bootloop after entering download mode. I have another on the way, so hopefully things go better this time. Will try the method posted above.
Can you send me a link to download "LG Flash Tool Build 03/07/2014 Offline with modded hosts file?"
thanks
Your can download it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
I ignore the warning about the kdz having to be in the flash tool directory. I just browse to the location I downloaded it to, never fails.
And about the hosts file, this version doesn't seem to need a modded hosts file as it won't try to connect. That was sth I had to do from an earlier version a long time ago and forgot.
Fyi: I soft-bricked my phone like many others having the same security error because of tring to install the rooted system image file for 5.1.1 over the top of 5.0.1. And to reboot from download mode I had to hold all three back-buttons.
To install Xposed framework follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/themes-apps/guide-installing-xposed-locked-t3181593 but USE Flashfire 0.24 or earlier as the latest beta version won't flash sh*t on this phone (or the G4)
If you need detailed instructions let me know.
Good luck!
PS: I bought the AT&T version(5.0.1) for the 3GB of RAM but I live in Australia so couldn't get the 5.1.1 OTA which is why I had to do this way, but apparently if you flash the 5.1.1PR kdz over the 5.1.1 AT&T OTA update(just to avoid AT&T bloatware) it will brick your phone.
so i just purchased the the g flex 2 much like yourself and i have everything ready to go. My only concern before doing so is what to do after the soft brick. Once you reboot from download mode is, doesthe phone start normally? or is there an extra step since you talked about USE flashfire
PS. i dont care to root the phone or is it necessary for this all to work?
Updated H950 5.0.1 ATT to H950PR 5.1.1
had the lg drivers which i downloaded using the lg suite from the LG website ( i originally tried to update my phone using this method...didnt work obviously so i came here)
Used lg flash tool 2014 as provided from this forum.
Placed H950PR15a_00.kdz in the place where it asks in the tool
followed the guide, i had the phone in debugging mode and it was just on my homescreen unlocked, phone shut off restarted into download mode and started the firmware update, phone itself reset at 100% ( keep it plugged in)
Lg flash tool was still going at this point it was around 90%, phone was resetting when the lg flash tool hit 100% and then crashed ( had a panic attack really ) i kept the phone plugged in and it reset to the lg boot screen
Leaving it plugged in , in spanish i saw that it was optimizing my apps, went to the tutorial within the phone and it resarted again... so i started having another attack, i then saw the boot screen claro at this point i unplugged my phone and it is now on 5.1.1 h950PR i have not rooted the phone before hand it was stock from ATT.
Thought i put my experience in here with this phone in hope to ease some tension. it was easier than i thought even though the tool crashed at the end, phone had already accepted the KDZ at that point

Thanks mate. Ran into this problem when flashing the ATT version before flashing the PR version like I was going to. This solved it, thought I'd wrecked the phone for a sec.
Much appreciated

[Q] What's the best way to root the D850 running stock Marshmallow?

I got the 6.0 update on my stock AT&T G3 a couple of days ago. Now I am looking to root the phone, but I am confused with the rooting method because all existing methods seem to either mention Kitkat/Lollipop, or the D855 unlocked version. What's currently THE way to root an AT&T G3 running stock Marshmallow?
Thanks!

You'll need to downgrade using LGUP
You could always try KingRoot, however I'm not sure if it works on AT&T Marshmallow. I know it worked on the D855 Marshmallow. Worth a shot.

in reading the threads for lg up i'm unable to find the kdz for lp for the d850. i tried following the link to download official from lg firmware site and after inputting my imei it says not yet available...
any help greatly appreciated. TIA
my goal is to either install a custom recovery / rom
or downgrade to stock LP so i can root ... and then recovery > custom rom
edit: a bit of an update. I was able to get into adb and reboot to stock recovery. took a few tries. and ended up having to use adb over network (so i could keep the phone plugged in to wall charger, my pc charges it but i don't think very well so when i'd issue the reboot to recovery command it would start the loop again and i'd have to start over. finally got it to reboot to recovery. but now i'm stuck at trying to issue the fastboot boot <TWRP.IMG>

in reading the threads for lg up i'm unable to find the kdz for lp for the d850. i tried following the link to download official from lg firmware site and after inputting my imei it says not yet available...
any help greatly appreciated. TIA
my goal is to either install a custom recovery / rom
or downgrade to stock LP so i can root ... and then recovery > custom rom
edit: a bit of an update. I was able to get into adb and reboot to stock recovery. took a few tries. and ended up having to use adb over network (so i could keep the phone plugged in to wall charger, my pc charges it but i don't think very well so when i'd issue the reboot to recovery command it would start the loop again and i'd have to start over. finally got it to reboot to recovery. but now i'm stuck at trying to issue the fastboot boot <TWRP.IMG>

Here's your problem, as stated in my back to stock guide AT&T models and the D850 is TOT File only. You won't ever find a kdz because there is not one. You only have a kitkat tot file you can flash.

skinny rom compatability

I've been on mm 6.0 and back to 5.1 .
I restored a twrp 5.1 recovery directly back from 6.0 using twrp . My boot loader
Is unlocked and I've used my own rooting
Method and flashifyed my twrp on both lp and mm. Since i'm on 5.1j with my bootloader still unlocked indicated on my
Splash screen can i safely flash the skinny rom on my metro g stylo with out a boot loop or a soft brick
Why did you go back to 5.1 if you wanted to flash the Skinny ROM?
I am going to try this Skinny debloated ROM soon. I have rooted T-Mobile Marshmallow on my MetroPCS Stylo and am missing some features that didn't flash correctly on my T-Mobile marshmallow.
I am always building stuff. I was working on a complete one click unlock Bl, Root and twrp and then another mm Rom build or two.
I always go back to my own builds cause I personalize them just for me but ran across the skinny while surfing and it caught my attention. I've been around for years and been doing this as a hobby since i retired and keeping myself busy.

Makes sense now.
Let me know how it goes when you (if) flash that Skinny debloated MM ROM.
I am curious if it works and if all the features like advanced text msgng and video calling and all the MM stuff is on it.
This rom works great so far. With the metro update and this it shouldn't take much to get both versons 6.0 mm. Sure would get custom roms going.
Thanks for your enlightenment.
Skinny Rom works great. The new MS63120B_00_0429.KDZ IS OUT. My Metropcs version phone can be set back to stock and I was wondering If using the new LG UP flasher will care that My Bootloader is UnLocked. I don"t know if it will Interfer and check its status.

thats a good question...i sure hope it doesnt matter to that tool that the bootloader is unlocked...if for some reason it did, maybe you could use lg flash tool 2014 and flash the lollipop kdz?
I went from t--mo mm to metro Loli..to get the metro mm...
I noticed that the bootloader was still unlocked after the Loli flash and kinda got concerned...
But, it never caused any probs...updated to mm metro and rooted smoothly....
I was kinda wondering if i could just wipe and flash skinny without extra caution and precautions...and then if i thought it was ( in my own opinion I'm entitled to) kinda not what i want..flash my mm metro back up...
Doesn't seem like it's been done..i could be wrong..
The drive to dev for this phone isn't as strong as i was hoping...
But, being the first android I've kept vanilla rooted with few tricks...it's not disappointing.
@Cyconumnum
Does the splashscreen still show
" unlocked bootloader "
And did you take the ota or
Flashed metro mm with lg up or the 2014 tool
I don't know what was debloated. The "Skinny" ROM itself is fine but what was taken out?

I used the flash tool to flash metro lollipop..
After that I went into fastboot to unlock the bootloader ...and it reported to be already unlocked...
It still showed "bootloader unlocked" at the top of the LG splash on the initial metro lollipop boot...
And reported it again booting the metro mm update

Sorry..the LG flash tool
I'm back on my personal juicy lp. I gotta get some new fast sd cards. I am working on another twrp for a friend in my spare time and have to hold up on roms and the total one click project. I would like to do the kdz 6.0 but i need parts .
Update; Found 16gb class 10 and worked skinny Rom, metro ota, and lg up flash tool. They both, metro ota and Lg Flash Kdz never showed skinny rom id'd. It said unknown device firmware. So bye bye skinny Rom. They both left the bootloader unlocked when finished flashing metro updates. As i stated before adb pkg and SuperSu needed updating and reinstalling for root and recovery was required. Splash screen still indicated an unlocked bootloader and loading the kdz from 5.0 kept data partition and required all out of date apps to be updated. Namely goggle playservices, adaway 311 needed (thanks guys) and xposed modules i uninstalled till I get time. Advance messageing was an Lg update not inclued in metro updates. Plenty of bloatware to lighten the load but still seemed less than skinnys bloatware. Good to be back on metro software and all the advance messaging and video calls worked. Now i DO gotta get more new sd's. Really out of parts to work with . Going to best buy to hold me over..
CHEERS ALL hope it helps you guys.
Edit; Forgot to add "Quickboot.apk" works 100% take you into all available modes.
i'm actually really content with it being on a stock rooted with various mods.....wish i could get the soft buttons to theme..that's nothing bad thou lol..
MM is a nice environment ..i wish i could install themes from cm13 .....but, as much i do ..i'm not gonna brick my phone with themes...did it before just changing the font on my F6...ha
but, it's great....makes enough sense....
my guess about the bootloader not getting changed with the ROM would be a bios type thing...i'm not toooo android savy..

I like the Stock ROM. There are several options for themes.
Layers in the Play Store
G4 Tweaksbox (requires root)
LG Apps Theme Engine (requires root)
LG SmartWorld (no root required but only available on Marshmallow T-Mobile Stylo ROM)

LG F510l Downgrade from marshmallow to lollipop and root,tweaks

THIS IS ONLY FOR F510L
SO AS YOU GUYS KNOW THERE IS NO MORE LOLLIPOP KDZ FOR US,, AND V20B KDZ IS MARSHMALLOW
BEFORE WE CONTINUE JUST LET ME TELL YOU THAT THERE IS NO BUG OR PROBLEM AND H959 HAS THE SAME SPECS AND WE WILL USE
LG FLASH TOOL 2014 NOT LG UP WE WILL NOT USE LG UP BECAUSE IT WILL SAY INVALID KDZ AND THERE IS NO WAY TO TRICK IT
SO WE WILL BE USING H95910C KDZ https://mega.nz/#!ncQHiIoT!ypxWaYIigtKhzNCcArh9IBaUMbQf9oIcajJzBb5B1Ng IT IS ONLY WAY FOR US TO DOWNGRADE TO LOLLIPOP,
ANYWAY BOOT THE DEVICE TO DOWNLOAD MODE OPEN LG FLASHTOOL TYPE CDMA, PHONEMODE DIAG AND CSE FLASH
{{{WARNING NORMAL FLASH WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE,SO USE CSE, ALSO CSE FLASH WILL DELETE ALL YOUR DATA}}
AND WAIT IT TO BE DONE I DONT KNOW ABOUT OTHER DEVICE BUT MINE WAS VERY FAST AND ALSO
{{ WARNING DONT DISCONNECT AT 90% WAIT FOR 100% ON PC,NOT PHONE!!!}} SO YOU GOT 5.0.1 GREAT RIGHT!
{{ WARNING I DONT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR PEOPLE THAT FLASH KDZ OF H955 OR EVEN LS996!!!!!!}} LETS CONTINUE TO ROOT
ROOT, FOR ROOT WE WILL BE USING LG ONE CLICK ROOT IT WILL WORK FOR ALL LG G FLEX 2 MODELS SO OPEN SETTING THAN FIND BUILD NUMBER AND TAP IT 7 OR 10 TIMES THEN GO DEVELOPER OPTION AND TURN USB DEBUGGING {{WARNING DONT TOUCH OTHER THINGS IF YOU ARE NOT PRO AT THIS}}
{{WARNING ONLY TESTED ON H959 5.0.1}} DOWNLOAD IT FROM https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxHZt3I9BpoZRjMwN3Uzdm1rbkk/view
AND OPEN THE PROGRAM AND WAIT FOR THE MAGIC {{WARNING WAIT FOR 100% JUST REMEMBER ALWAYS WAIT FOR 100% ON ANYTHING}}
SO YE WE GOT ROOT, ANYWAY LETS CONTINUE TO TWEAKS
TWEAKS FOR PERFORMANCE AND BATTERY WE WILL USE https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...od-ultimate-performence-blazing-fast-t3482317
AND FOR BETTER SOUND WE WILL USE XTREMEMUSIC https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mod-beatsaudio-e-xloud-installer-t3029951
AND WE WILL ALSO USE HIDDEN MENU OF OUR DEVICE CALL *#546368#*959# AND THEN GO SVC MENU THEN MLT THEN UNCHECK MLT
{{WARNING UNCHECK MLT NOT USB DEBUGGING!!!!}} THIS WILL IMPROVE OUR BOOT SPEED AND BATTERY AND MAKE SURE THAT ASSHOLES FROM LG WONT SPY ON US!
FOR WHO IS WONDERING WE WILL USE FLASHFIRE TO FLASH ZIPS AND WE WILL USE 5.0.1 BECUASE IT IS FULL SYSTEM NOT UPDATE LIKE 5.1.1
, YE 5.1.1 KDZ OF H959 MAY WORK I DIDNT TESTED IT BY MY SELF ANYWAY BUT I AM SURE IT WILL HARD BRICK AND ANOTHER REASON OF USING 5.0.1 IS 100% ROOT
I WILL ADD HERE BOOTLOADER UNLOCK AND TWRP AND LG G6 ROM HERE VERY SOON
SO ANYWAY WISH YOU GUYS LUCK
Hi. If you are making the INSANE and BEAUTIFUL things to our great device, PLEASE could you do for H955 too? Cause I am fed up with LG's Marshmallow S***. I can't buy an F510l to have the priority to install and follow your threads files, but PLEASE make bootloader unlock, twrp and the LG G6 rom for H955 too. Succes!!!!!!!!

And also i had 5.0.1 and root. I know the procedure. I am known with things.
ruseiulian https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h955-firmwares/ download from there kdz 10e is 5.0.1. 15c is 5.1.1
Flash 5.0.1 and use of one click root and u can use tweaks that is in this form but on disabling instead of *#546368#*959# you have to use *#546368#*955#
I know. I already have 5.0.1, and root too. And i know about MLT since i had an LG G2. I have disabled it on my flex 2. I want to know if your LG G6 rom, when you launch it, i will be able to flash it on h955. If its compatible with h955. And sorry for my bad post. Bootloader unlock and twrp already made for h955.... so the main thing is the LG G6 ROM )
I will make LG g6 Rom only when there will be new method twrp and the bootloader will be fully unlocked and working
Because I don't want other people's device to hard brick or even soft brick also the I will be making special kernel in the g6 Rom so I need 100% guaranty that unlocked boot loader won't brick the device
Ok man. Thanks for answer... I wait until you will finish the rom.. Succes!!!!
Hey I want to know My devices is F510L on Lollipop 5.0.1 If i flash kdz H955 will it boot ?
read better i said no problem
All thing will work just do as i described and you will get 5.0.1 with better performance and sound with root
after every boot it comes a message that's mean about error what about it
Unlock bootloader and twrp are on progress right?
