Help with US firmware H950? Bricked Flex 2

So pretty new to this form I'm from the United States I have a LG flex 2 h950 I rooted the other day and then I installed a application that fixed permissions... once the permissions were fixed the phone turned off and just started boot looping afterwards. I couldn't find software for my phone so I tried flashing H955 software...bad idea... the phone works but seems only the cellular service doesn't work...if there's a way for me to enable the radio somehow or flash different radio please let me know because it's really frustrating I know I'm dumb that i did it to begin with but i can at least use the phone besides cellular service .I didn't know if somebody has a spare H 950 software in there pocket or if there's another way to go around it I can't get anything from LG and I can't get anything from AT&T so pretty much I have a phone that I can't call with or text with also I noticed whenever I go to the hidden menu and I go to phone info...it says this application does not work with this device any help would be appreciated.

On my 3rd flex 2 at&t. I called and made something up and they sent a replacement. They never check. They just refurbish the device as long as it has no external damage.

Really? I was thinking that. But its not my plan. Its my girlfriends i didnt wanna get her disconnected. Because it is also rooted. I heard they can do that. I didnt kno if i could modify something in build prop or flash something. It also sucks because i like this phone and there's no recovery which got me in the situation to begin with. Thanks for the advice though. Im still debating if i should do that or if anyone has any other ideas? Thanks

did you modify the system folder? i can help you with that
- didnt' read your story.
I don't know if i can help you
there are no stock images. but if there is pieces from the rom you need. I can send them to you

The system folder? What would i have to modify? I had a couple ideas but they didnt really work lol...long story short cant find att stock firmware h950...rooted...bricked...flashed h955 firmware hoping that would work but now i cant get cell service. Says radio is disabled but i cannot find a way to enable

ahh bricked LG's. they are really hard to restore.. i remember when i bricked my lg g pro f240k and it took me forever to restore but eventually i did.
it was soo easy.. much easier than i thought.
okay, try this buddy
http://lg-support-tool.en.lo4d.com/ << download and install this. as well as lg drivers.
put your phone into download mode.. and then leave it there.
connect your phone to your pc, and then click find software or something like that.
after youve done that...
it will find the appropriate software and flash it automatically, although you will lose your root, and you might end in android 5.1.1
however i am not too sure...
btw leave a thanks and tell me how you got on!

Cool thanks much appreciated...i will let you kno tomorrow. While we are on the subject dose anyone know a custom recovery method for the flex 2 H950? or mabey a recovery from a differnent model that MAY work? So this dose not happen again. :good: many thanks.

i wouldn't mind buddy. give a few hours.

Please keep us posted, cuz I also bricked my H950. I manage to get SU but for some reason I could not install Titanium, so I proceed to root it again via traditional way. Not the phone just stuck at&t logo. Any help is appreciated!! Why can't we get TOT for this phone??

good luck with that

Converted D800 to D801 and can`t revert back.How to fix?

I flashed a T-Mobile Kit Kat 20g based rom on my D800 and got a lot of problems and can`t flash back to stock AT&T Kit Kat rom.The problems I`m having with the Kit Kat rom is no Play Store,no internet, and brightness don`t work.I tried tots method and that don`t work.It appears that my D800 is now a D801 with no way to return.If anybody got a fix let me know.
Also I have to reboot several times to get the usb to work to transfer files.

First make sure your rooted with twrp.Basically what I did was flashed a already stock rooted AT&T rom in twrp which I knew would brick it.That will turn it back to the correct stock ROM which in this case D800 even though the device is brick.Next get out of recovery and get the device in download mode.Then I flashed stock AT&T Kit Kat rom using tot method and the no check DLL file.May work with AT&T DLL.Didn't test.Flash it,should be successful.I will assume this method will work for others on different devices if flashed wrong rom,didn't make a backup,or however they ended up changing the device because of flashing wrong ROM.

No Unfortunately, but I'm not sure but this might be a "CDMA" phone. Here is a Web-site that you might like to read about this topic "http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2476565,00.asp" but really I don't know how to unlock it. Hope this helps

Unfortunately that isn't accurate. You will only be partially rooted. You cannot access the bootloader to install a custom ROM.

Locked Bootloader and no custom recoveries but I don't see how its not full root? I have the xposed framework flashed and superSU as my root manager.

From what I have seen I would say that the LG LS675 (Tribute 5) is both GSM and CDMA.

Yes, The root process is persistent

How it isn't a full root.

The inability to flash a custom recovery so one could make a full nandroid backup or flash a different ROM is what defines it as not a full root. Rooting (a full root) gives full access to all aspects of the device. Without the ability to make a backup, if Google decides to half-ass an update that causes glitches, there's no way to flash a backup, because a full one cannot be made.
I'm still trying to find out how it was claimed someone managed to unlock it... or if anyone have the VZ4 firmware in a dz file format...haven't found anything yet, except for the poster who's post was removed for attempting to profit off the forums.

Downloading it now to see if it's a .dz file in a .zip download, or just a .zip which won't work as the default recovery considers almost everything to be unsigned.

I downloaded it it's the kernel and Android in tar.gz format

As did I. The only issue is how to compile it into .dz format for flashing via the LG UP program.

It tries 5 times then stays on a "Self Service" black screen...
This is a Boost Pre-Paid device; not sure if that makes a difference...?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...m-updating-t2871269/post55321005#post55321005
However, it seems complicated

Does Tribute 5 have its own thread? I'm rooted, debloated. Disabled one process lg update but it doesn't seem to significantly improve battery life. Something drains the battery. I also have Treasure with tracfone. It has much better battery life. Are there any other processes i can safely uninstall?

I'm getting no service after installing new rom

I installed the Nuseven stock 6.0 ROM on my htc one m8 and now I get no service. Can somebody please help me I have entered in the apn stuff and have tried all combination of settings in the 4g switcher app but nothing works.

My carrier is 2degrees in New Zealand. It's almost as if installing new roms disabled "unlocked to any network" thing
I payed for s-off so I could install a debloated ROM but i got no service. So i decided to install Viper but still got no service.
Now all I want is for service to work i don't even care about the bloatware since getting rid of it seems to be so fricken difficult.\
Could you please help me in installing the stock rom for my phone and getting service to work?

Same issue but I'm with page plus which uses the verizon network. I'm on ROM wolla gpe 6.1 MM

I flashed the same ROM, and I''m having the same issue. I have the Verizon HTC One M8. I flashed the RUU hoping it would solve the problem but, I still have zero service. I can't find any fix for this. I have searched far and wide for any solution and I am now at a stand still...

A factory reset from the stock recovery is usually the answer for this. Has to be the stock recovery, not TWRP. They do different things.

I tried that already.

When I flashed RUU it took me back to stock recovery. No TWRP or SuperSU. I failed to mention I am Verizon to Straight Talk conversion. Idk if maybe it has something to do with them or not. I just have zero signal whether the phone is activated or unactive.

I have been working on my m8 for the past 7 hours. It was working but I messed it up the same way as you and now I am without service as well. No idea what to do

I've been searching man. The be at conclusion I can come up with is finding the correct RUU for you service provider and area. I flashed on for Europe and idk if maybe that has something to do with my poor service. Our phone receives very minimal support due to age.

Finally got service to work by flashing a Verizon RUU even though I'm in Pakistan. It works but I am back on square one, i.e absolutely horrendous signals. The phone is basically useless at this point because it's always on a single bar. I think it's a hardware issue so there's nothing really I can do :/

Can't find matched carrier. Check NT-code: FFFFFF : 84

I had 10ulm and flashed it with the G710AWM and now every time I boot my phone i get:
WARNING: Current version is not available for user. Can't find matched carrier. Check NT-code: FFFFFF : 84
The phone works fine since it was unlocked, but I am getting a ton of calls go straight to voicemail and this may be the issue? How can I fix this?
any help appreciated. Thanks

also wifi calling is nowhere to be found under call settings. It seems like I don't have the setting on this version? thoughts

Don't bother pal, stick with the official rom, I had this same issue best option is to just stick with the same variant as your phone, might not be latest but it works good. FYI I have g710emw and was using g710em rom

You are probably right. What a pain to have to flash again and go back?
How are you guys backing up so that you just restore to the same phone you had without having to set up everything again?

I didn't restore, I tried out the rom first, and then just wiped it. What broke it for me was the wifi mac address somehow became lost while using it, maybe some software glitch only by flashing the same variant was I able to restore it.

Hey there, how do you do this KDZ with refurbish option? Will this mean flashing again anyways?
I was hoping that by now the official android 10 version from LG would be out for the unlocked 10ulm, but it seems that they will never update this phone for some reason. This was the Google Fi unlocked G7.
Suggestions please. Thanks

Thanks for replying.
I noticed you are the leader of the other thread I posted, so I will ask here so not to bug you too much
Will the choosing of refurbish option erase the serial or IMEI or anything else that I should be aware of?
Also, when you say flash again you mean using the canadian version correct? I was wondering about the Korean version vs the canadian and what advantage would there be in any.
If you could, please lead me to the instructions to flash again. When I did it, I used a guide from some dude on youtube and I can't find that again.
Also, read somewhere that the error at boot could be fixed by rooting and then changing something with the explorer app. Not sure if that is worth it. I just hate backing up and restoring to find I am logged out of most every app and all settings have to be set up again. It takes me hrs and I am not that technically savvy as you guys.
Thanks for your time and have a good evening.

Flash with the kdz you used before, Canadian firmware is better than Korean. In lgup select refurbish instead of partition dl. It won't tamper with your IMEI and you will loose all your data

Hi dapolicy,
I am done with the LG G7ULM since it will never be updated officially.
I really like having the fingerprint sensor on the back and it seems that the LG G8 is the last iteration of phones from LG with this feature and it is an upgrade from the G7.
It is cheap here in the US.
Which version of this phone should I look for? I will be using it on Mint Mobile, so an unlocked one sounds great and all, but then you see what happened to the G7 ULM that never got android 10 unless it was tied to a carrier.
So, what do you suggest I do so I can get the next couple of updates for android with the G8?
Thanks man!

If the firehose was available for the Wing/Velvet you can hex the FTM and fix the NT Code on the Wing.You can try the engineering service menu,but I highly doubt the IMPL is 0 under MID.
