Hello,
As we know there are many H90021w firmware user found their phone is not working as it should be. There are some issues like fingerprint sensor is not working, cant uninstalling apps, etc. I found the only way to solve is by updating the firmware to 21z or 22b only. I've try to find in on the net throughly only to find after the v21w firmware, newer firmwares are stored in the AT&T server, not on the LG server anymore. And the only way to get the OTA is by using an AT&T simcard and in the US. This definitely a problem to those who live outside the US just like me.
And it's not possible to downgrade, trust me, maybe I've try everything that possible including taking out the emmc from the board, erasing everything and put the lollipop firmware in it. Simply not working. Mind you, when I put that emmc (lollipop) on another board (vs990 too) which were originally lollipop and never use the 21w firmware, it's working fine.
So basically updating to 21z or 22b is the only way. Also if there's any 21w user and the phone is normal, maybe you can help too.
All we need is to put the phone on qualcomm 9008 mode, copy some partitions, zip it and upload to somewhere. It's perfectly safe as I did it many many times to backup my phone and some friend's phones (v10 and G4). We'll exclude the imei partition and userdata, so it will be safe for you.
This method is also useful for other purposes. You can full backup your phone and restore it if theres anything happen. For those who have bootlooped phone, you can backup it and restore to another working phone and you'll have almost the same state of the phone. Of course the type of the phone should be identical and the arb is ok. If the arb is stil 0, you can even switch the carrier to Tmobile.
This could be used for many purposes, but let's get this one done first. If its working, I'll put it in a new "how to" thread so many will be helped. We can also arrange donations for those who help. We can discuss it by pm.
So hopefully someone can help and we can discuss on private message about the method in details.
Thank you
Nobody?
Hi all,
Probably my previous request were too much.
I found an easier and faster way to do it. No need to go to mode 9008 or modifying the cable.
All it need is LGup patched which can be found on https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/guide-patch-lgup-to-unlock-features-t3652222 and a normal data cable.
If anybody willing to help, feel free to let me know.
Thank you

I hope you have news. I have the same problem without solution so far.
Nope. Although still hoping to find someone eager to help, I think this H900 section is practically dead.

Wow awesome, thank you!
I already got 21z by myself and planning to ask a few $$ from others since no one helping since months ago. But with your help we can help others too. I'll send a pm later today with some instruction, need to back home first and recheck the method.
Thanks again.

Yeah I'll need some instructions, its been a long time since I last used LGUP or anything similar... ^^
Now, I just checked, I am running H90022b, but I'm not entirely sure whether this would solve your problem.
I have an LG V10, AT&T locked, but with a verizon motherboard... This means that in my case, some security options don't work, I can't update, can't use a fingerprint sensor and worst of all, I can't deinstall apps. (I'm never buying refurbished devices again ^^)
However, if you have a normal V10 (H900), this should be no problem. The software is still the same, its flashed as a H900, whilst it should be a H901 I think.

Still no updates for Taylor.
It says in the forums that you linked to that there will be no updates for the Samsung Taylor phones.

Anyone wanna trade for an Android device?
Might be a newb question here but....
Did people have to pay for these developer phones? Or did MS just send them out to registered/respected developers?
I suppose, you can flash your phone with the Omnia 7/Quantum ROM at your own risk.

I would like to give th Quantum ROM a try , but I do not know where to start. I am a Bell user in Canada so I think they have the Quantum. I used to flash old WM and Android Devices all the time, but WP7 is new to me. Anyone have a thread or no if anyone has sucessfully flashed a LG Panther to anything else? I can get into a bootloader, but it is probably just Microsofts bootloader.

Looks like it's really possible, because i succesfully connected to the phone using QXDM, and even downloaded NAND's image (it's raw, so for extracting page size required, because size in the partition table is relative to page size). Though may flash it, i think bootloader will work. But you probably can get bricked device. Unfortunally i have no enough time for explorations.

I think flashing the unbranded Optimus 7 ROM would be the best bet for us. There is a registry key named "HasKeyboard" that's defaulted to 0 that we can change to 1. That might be the way to go. Also I'm wondering if we'd have to go the goldcard method to move over to a Quantum or Optimus rom.
The problem is I don't have another phone and there's no MTTY process to unbrick our phones so I'm a little hesitant to try.

Goldcard isn't required. Only HTC devices require it.
I've dumped my ROM, so if bootloader will work (i hope), device can be easily flashed.
Is anyone wanna to try? QPST can flash certain partitions (looks like only dsp1 and efs are required for succesful update). Unfortunally i can't risk my phone, because i'm developing an application.

I am not sure if it is worthwhile attempting a flash. The problem is we are all developers and having no device is probably not worth the risk. I have not flashed anything WP7 so I am pretty hesitant. Is this the link to flashing info you guys are considering?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935605
In reading the other threads, there is no real confirmation on the Panther not getting updated. It is clear the the Taylor will not. I am curious if we are running the exact ROM that another device is? If so, ROM from those devices may work. I am trying to remember what the download name was (was it Pacific or something?). I deleted the file. If I still had it I would consider giving flashing a try. I wish Microsoft had not shut down the microsoft connect site for these phones. Any thoughts?

I got mine off of eBay due to it being the best keyboard phone out at the time (the Quantum is a joke), so it wasn't free for me. Once we get a HTC 7 Pro here that's compatible with AT&T's 3G bands, I'll switch over to that.

Well there is going to be a point where and update or feature will make our phones aka gw910 or Taylor completely useless as for development or testing, so this is something to consider.
Yeah connect has been down since a long time ago I have been struggling to find the FW file provided in the msdn/connect/internet forums, I’m guessing the only way now is to contact either a developer/evangelist/god/msdn who has that file available in storage, with the firmware we can create our own updated custom FW way easier than creating one from scratch and/or experiment with other FW like the optimus 7/Q.
And idea can we consider spoofing the gw910 to an optimus 7/Q .7004 using the registry editor? Making ZUNE update just the components needed.
also im willing to give it a go flashing mi gw910 UsellesGuy any info on how can i dump mi firmware. and posible explanation as in how to recover.I read the bootloader post before but is there anything else i need ?

Microsoft delivers updates using binary patches, they apply only to concrete file version, else they will be broken (or updating will be failed).
Thank you, but i think better way is to wait a bit, until situation about updates will clear up. If update will be not received - i'll begin my work

quick question about updating a developer device
Hi
I'm a complete newby about wp7.
I've two Optimus 7 in my possession that seem to be developer devices.
Here the phones info:
OS Version: 6516Mainline
SW Version: LG-E900AT-00-V08d-ORG-UK-JUL-24-2010
HW Version: E
More info:
OS Version: 6516Mainline (buildlab).20100713-1228
Firmware revision number: 0.8.4.10
Hardware revision number: 0.1.5.0
Bootloader version: 1.4.1.0
Chip SOC version: 0.30.2.0
Now I've tried to update the firmware like in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935578
But it doesn't work (LGDP2 connect to phone start the update but give the error 1002)
Is there a way to flash these phones to be like normal phones? (I don't intent to develop on them) Or my hardware version is to old (prototype)
Thanks for the help

so you are relying on a dev phone that MS was gracious enough to give you as your only device and are complaining that you didn't get the update???
edit: after reading your replies, this wasn't a publicly released phone, so if you don't get the updates, I don't feel you have a complaint.
I recently tried to root my D850 with 5.0.1 Of course, I botched it and it got stuck at the boot screen. I figured a factory reset (hard reset) might save the day, but it didn't. The device was not recognized by the PC and the MTP driver would not work no matter what I did. In desperation, I chatted with an LG USA rep. He said to submit a repair request, which I did. There was no mention of cost but at this point, I don't care if it does cost to fix it. They emailed me a FedEx label and I sent it off yesterday. There was another thread in which the OP sent his in to LG with pretty much the same thing happened and his device was repaired free, so I'm hoping for a free fix. Point is: I got this device from a seller on eBay and I was upfront with LG about that. Warranty or not, they seem willing to fix it for me. So, instead of beating your head against the wall trying to fix it, you might want to consider sending it to LG if you get it fixed yourself.

Sending to the company is a last resort type thing. Some cases people have been charged more than you can get a used one for at times.
The method in that thread is the exact way LG will be fixing your phone. (Unless they just replace your motherboard)

If that's the exact way and it works for them, GOOD! Because I tried it and several other methods and it DID NOT WORK. As the person the said in another thread, they fixed it FREE. And, if they charge me, so what? I'll have my device working properly. I don't know where you'd get one of these for under $100, but if they fail to restore it, please DO tell me as I'd sure like to know. In fact, tell me now so I can grab one for my wife.

They normally at least charge $200 + for a phone repair. . I've dealt with LG and LG phones for a good while now.
And not sure if you have ever posted in my guide asking for help.
Different methods? There's ONLY ONE method that works for the D850 which is the TOT method.
After downloading and installing the drivers , software and zipped tot, did you make sure phone was IN download mode? Did you make sure you changed your COM port to COM41?
You have to be sure your following everything step by step.
The guide is very simple. I can pretty much gurentee that if you lived nearby I'd have that phone fixed in under 20min.
I'm just stating myself and my guide has fixed 1,000s of LG phones.

Maybe so, but it didn't fix mine. See, when the PC does not see it, nothing is going to download, upload, flash. It's a moot point anyways, as it's on it's way to LG, Ft. Worth.

SO the phone was in download mode when you tried? You`d look for LGEmodem under ports in device manager.
UPDATE
So, I sent my G3 into LG_Ft. Worth approximately a week-and-a-half ago for the symptoms sited at the beginning of the thread. Bear in mind, I got this phone from eBay and I told them that. I also told them that after I tried to do a Factory Reset, it locked at the LG boot screen. That's ALL I told them. No questions asked: They sent me a replacement unit. F R E E!
The invoice stated "Bad ROM flash. Replacement sent." I'm restoring from back-up now.
Same issue as OP
I have one G3 soft bricked. At first, i was be able to connect to dl mode. I tried LG Mobile Support tool to flash the phone back to stock , at the end, it failed. Now the phone not let me enter dl or recovery mode. PC not detect the phone at all. I'm using original Nokia USB cable. Tried with 3 computers, none of them detect when plugin and hold Vol up or down etc...
I want to follow TOT method but what can i do if computer not detect the phone?

I'm sure there will be others that will have you try different things, but FOR ME, I went to the LG website and chatted with a tech. He told me to send it in. Even provided a shipping label.

Yeah but using my back to stock guide can take about an hour depending on your connection. If connection is good then maybe 20 min.
And not all cases will be the same. There's some cases of people getting charged even just to get there phone back.

Sorry for the delay in case you didn't find out no, the method uses official lg firmwares. Which requires windows. So no way to do it on a Mac unless you use a virtual machine which is very buggy to do this with.

On the topic of bricking (and unbricking !!) the D850, I just received a D850 from ebay today. I tried hyelton's procedure
to restore a stock ROM (LGD850AT-01-V10d-310-410-JUN-19-2014+0.tot) and it failed during the download.
My D850 entered a horrible bricked state, booting with a "secure booting error" message, and then alternating with red and blue LEDs. It was impossible to enter download mode. Trying to use the default recovery to do a factory reset failed. Basically it seemed like the device was bricked.
I was a little panicky because I just received the phone earlier in the day.
I then found this amazing thread on the Sprint LG G3 forum, which describes a sort of hard reset you can do inside the phone. (kind of like an alternative download mode to transfer files to the device). This requires you to short two connections in the phone with a ~2cm piece of copper wire, so you obviously need to be comfortable disassembling your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-fix-hard-brick-recovery-guide-t3132359
I am happy to report that this procedure worked perfectly to return my ATT D850 back to life, notably giving me download mode back, which I used following Hyelton's procedure to download a stock ROM back into the phone, which now worked fine.
I hope others can benefit from this.

That was me posting in the wrong forum, asking what I can imagine sounds like the height of stupidity. To be clear, this is a replacement phone because I (quite stupidly) grabbed the root img for the PR or whatever in the att dev thread... And got a soft brick. This time, I turn on phone, it updates to g immediately.
In Lg phone connection app on Windows 10, it is saying that another update is available, so I'm hoping...
Btw I do know adb pretty well and can offer up a clean stock H81010g img pretty easily, if it'd help and maybe someone can help me.
It's the only phone I want, and to find myself unable to root robs me of 90% of my work and paid for apps.

If you're on 10g, follow this link.. its has 10g rooted image with right flash-able code...download those tar file, extract to get an image for placed in your internal memory...
make sure to backup your system 1st..There's a guide on 2nd post on that thread.
I'm new to the XDA Forums and even forums in general so if I speak out of place or anything like that I apologize ahead of time. So anyway, where do I start? I'll try to give you the short version. So I bought an LG Stylo 2(model: LG K540) through Cricket the day they came out. It was $170 phone. On the second day of using my new phone I got the bright idea that I'd try and root it BY MYSELF. I knew better but for some reason I had this false burst of confidence & thought I had everything under control. Well, thanks to Kingroot that burst of confidence didn't last long and there I was with a 2 day old phone BRICKED. Reason I never posted on the forums is because I've got a buddy who , in my eyes, knows everything there is to know about Android and thats who I'd normally go to when I wanted to root a phone so he's who I immediately turned to but even he couldn't figure it out. He couldn't help me unless we had the stock firmware or someone with the exact same phone and according to him we could some how use a backup of that phone to fix mine. Cricket just wanted to sell me another phone even though I was standing there with a 2 day old phone and LG just wants me to send the phone in to them, which I have no desire to do. I've searched all over the internet trying to locate the firmware because even I can fix the phone if I had that but nothing. Had hoped by now LG would have released the firmware but at this point who knows when that'll happen. I'd even pay for it at this point. Anyway, just thought I'd give the forum a shot on the off chance someone might be able to help me or point me in the right direction. Oh and if you were wondering what the phone does now, when I turn it on the LG logo appears like it should but then right as it appears you see a message in red lettering that says: BOOT VERIFICATION FAIL!!- CAUSE: MISMATCH_SIG_LEN And it just loops this over & over until you pull the battery out. Please someone help me!
send to lg said stop working no luck with tihs hard brick
Source code to rom¿?
I ran into basically the same situation as you. I'm currently downloading Android open source project on to a fresh install Ubuntu 16.04. I am currently in the middle of running sync.
I'm curious if there is anybody out there who would be willing to give a few pointers, on compiling the ROM from LG open source code. They told me I had to use it in the readme.txt.
Im a noob with fair knowledge of modding and stylo not stylo 2. There's no way to say for sure if this will work but on lg mm on h631 u need to unlock dev option in settings 1st. Make sure to check off oem unlock and usb debugging. Connect to pc and you will get a popup or 2, one will ask to allow pc to connect to phone, the second is to allow usb debugging. After you allow both, open cmd in your adb fastboot folder. Type " adb reboot bootloader." should reboot the phone to bootloader/fastboot mode. Then you type " fastboot oem unlock." you will see sending.. Once sending is done type " fastboot reboot." when the phone restart you should see bootloader unlocked on splash screen. Then i rooted with kingroot. Then use rashr to flash twrp. Then used twrp to flash supersu to get rid of kingroot.. My h631 now in business and i just started working on a port for lg ux 5.0. This is the guild i use for a better idea http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-stylo/how-to/guide-lg-g-stylo-how-to-root-t-mobile-6-t3333916. You might need lgflashtool and kdz to unbrick..
NO NEED to beg.
I don't know very much but I know $$$ talks and since no one save the few who suggested contacting lg wants to help, Ill try. At the moment I am efforting a solution via the Chinese. I expect to have a working copy in the next 48hrs. when I do, we can arrange for you to get access to the mega.nz cloud and get urs.
say a prayer......

BIN File
Hello, I have a Stylo 2 K540 from cricket, it is having issues with the Wi-Fi, it will not connect to either Wi-Fi or bluetooth, MAC address was set at 02:00:00:00:00 or something like that, I opened the phone and it has humidity sensor active, cleaned the affected area but it seems like it was useless, eventhough I was pretty sure that was not the main problem. I looked for some troubleshooting options and found non of use, firmware is sold for $30 online so it is not an option since I am not certain loading firmware will be of any help. I tried repairing MAC address via Octoplus using other addresses but was useless as well.
I have little to no experience with software on phones, but I like to read and learn. I decided to connect the phone to the computer and "Read full flash" on Octopus, I have created the Bin file, I have a perfectly working phone as well, I was wondering if there is any way to get the KDZ file from the Bin file doing some sort of conversion, or if I could do some sort of fix or workaround with this bin file, I can share it if anybody needs it or if it can be of any use to get the firmware

Hey, I am not sure if I am posting at the right place or should I create a new thread or not, really sorry if I am doing anything wrong, but I am in some real trouble here. I have At&t g4, it was on h81010g stock firmware version, it was working great and I was loving it but I wanted to update it to android 6, so I followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g4/general/lg-g4-h810-upgrade-to-android-6-0-t3323995 to update my version from 10g to 10o and then finally to android 6, 20o, (by the way its a great guide), everything worked fine but I have no signals, I tried to reset the phone and tried a few other things like hidden menu, airplane mode but nothing works,
I couldn't get the signals and shows a small cross above the signal bars, After that I used the LG UP tool to downgrade it to h81010o but still the same, I think my region don't have the upgrades further than h81010g or whatever the reason, I can't find the H81010g stock firmware anywhere, can anyone please share the original h81010g tot or KDZ file with me,
so I can get my phone back in a working state? a question for senior devs, bro if I can't get a h81010g file, what are my options then, any kind of help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks...

There's no other firmwares other than one ones I uploaded in my guide other than 21y which I'll upload in a few hours which was recently leaked (which is a shocker ). Also remember you MUST be on AT&T for OTA updates to work so that might explain why you cannot update via the phone.
I can't speak for that guide and not having service as I've never used it, you did perform a factory reset after doing that correct?
Did you attempt to try another SIM card in the device? And did you remove and reinsert the sim?
