Now, this is good to hear... Finally some pacing going for this beast of a phone!

To report that I've got mine D958 just after some time David Cogen got his from a dealer warrantying recovery boot loop.

Mine was in qhsusb_bulk mode, but under warranty which issued whole board switchover!! Daamn.

Still then, after successfully rooting the beast, and applying update, it fell into qhsusb_bulk.

Now it's good as new and running JB 4.2.2.

After this heavy experience, you'll understand why it's still so hard to install Freedom Flex and try it, although two users on Hong Kong D958 reported it working from the first app release!...

Thankz p.God for good job, and keep the pace m8... :good:
[LG G Flex] kintwofan:
No the recovery won't work with kit kat just yet. Hold tight, I think it'll be working relatively soon

Need Help

I think I just bricked my phone. This what happen, I try to use the Freedom Flex app to flash CM on my Sprint LG g flex, unfortunately I didn’t realize that it doesn’t work with KitKat 4.4.2. This is totally on me, however can anyone help me? The phone would not boot into the OS, but somehow I can still boot back CM recovery. My computer only recognize the phone when am in CM recovery not Download mode.
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
if you made a back up after you installed CWM, you could just restore your backup...you DID make a back up, didn't you?

[LG G Flex] shotta12:
All I did was installed CWM, reboot in recovery and than I try to reboot back into the OS. I did not flash any rom.
[LG G Flex] brittoking:
That's hard bricked..for now. It sounds like the guys are working on a solution at this moment maybe. You can't flash the recovery on kk. It results in a brick and a computer won't even read the device.
[LG G Flex] shotta12:
What fix?

---------- Post added at 01:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 AM ----------

Is there any recovery for KK? Maybe I can push the file to phone and flash it in CWM.
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
If you read thru this thread and also Dfuse's rooted KK ROM thread you would have seen "does not work on KK, will result in brick" I font know maybe 20 times. Not trying to sound like an @$$ but if you can't build a ROM or compile from source even then its probably a good idea to read every comment to see where others have had problems or /and what solutions or tips have been found to prevent such a thing. Hang on a sec I see an truck labeled rocket fuel, that's got to make my truck fly when I take it off this cliff

This is so true and it seems alot of folks are not taking the time to read through these threads because i see alot of them asking or trying to install the FF app while on kitkat when it has been mention the kitkat has no recovery yet that the app only works for JB.

Note I said SOON. There isn't one just yet, but a very nice dev from the g2 is working in a kernel with PlayfulGod and a couple people are sacrificing their phone (then rescuing it from dead) to get it to work. So be patient oh and figure out how to get adb set up with cwm ( hint Google is your friend)

Got the twrp working on my ls995 no problems thanks a lot for this also my phone wants me to tap to Install tried a couple things I read in the forum and none of them was a perfect fix pm for some tips please working on ls995
[LG G Flex] 99problemz:
Have a issue fellas and maybe someone can help. D950 running fine on 4.2 Used playfuls app to install twrp with success didn't try to reboot into recovery or anything didn't try to flash anything. But now for some strange reason phone booted into recovery and cannot reboot system. Goes to lg screen then boots right back into twrp. Tried to install backup same result.

Has anyone tried updating to KK after successfully Freedom flexing in on JB4.2? Just wondering..? Of course, you'd need to reflash to stock and unroot first..!

Cheers
[LG G Flex] 99problemz:
I've been trying ever since you posted link but can't seem to place file in adb directory I'm a noob when it comes to adb. Read tutorials and videos. I get stat file no such direvtory. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I got some great news! I was able to get my computer to recognize the phone in Download Mode, I used the LG G Flex Stock Firmware to go back to stock. Now my phone is on 4.2.2, Should I try to use the Freedom Flex app now that I am on 4.2.2?
[LG G Flex] Triad79:
Whoah man, you've managed to pull this one out of inescapable situation m8. :good:

If it's on 4.2 JB then you should be good to go.., but, if I were you, I'd make sure once more not to allow myself again passing by those RED FONTS stating WARNING! :rolleyes:

Make sure to understand and follow the instructions to the letter. Although I know that D958 is fully supported, will be waiting some more to see where's this going with user experiences...

Cheers bro and good luck!

Put the laf.img in adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130917/sdk/platform-tools or where ever your adb.exe is. Then hold shift while you right click your mouse then click "open command window here" then follow the directions zNiic posted. Before doing that type "adb devices" to make sure you're connected.
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that the peep that had issues with the freedom flex apk were the ones that ran it during testing and didn't uninstall it and delete it before they used the updated version. But you jumping to 4.4 then using it screwed you up. But you have since restored back to 4.2.

A little run down of restoring verses factory reset

Factory reset only deletes user data and apk that were installed and resets all defaults. If you deleted bloat or factory system apks then you can't get those back with a factory data reset. They are gone at this point unless...

Restoring using the LG tool dumps what you have done, modded, themed, and erased and reinstalls the factory designed android system. It will have and be just like the day you pulled it out of the box.

With that said, now that you have restored it with the LG flash tool you are starting all over fresh stock out of the box.

So answer to your question is YES Root

Then download and install Freedom Flex and install recovery of your choice. Then download your forum apk i.e. Tapatalk, XDA HD, or what ever you use and first stop thank everyone that helped you get back to where you wanted to be. And patiently wait for the talented devs to get the kernels built for 4.4 custom recovery to work before you upgrade or flash to 4.4 KK. Or otherwise you'll have to flash back to 4.2 when they do to go through proper process of getting rooted to 4.4 with TWRP or CWM installed. Good luck

[LG G Flex] PattyNYC:
Did you use adb while in twrp? I can't get it to read my phone in recovery but it works fine when i'm booted into the OS. It's weird becasue when i type "adb devices" in twrp it only shows a listed device as blank. The problem is that I don't need adb when the phone is already booted.

[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
I have a tree up for the D950, but kernel stuff not been worked out yet. Its based on D802 and depends on g2-common.
[LG G Flex] sickkside13:
So it uses g2-common and you have android_device_lge_d950 and since We have several variants of it so most likely a few build prop changes for my d959. And what going on with the kernel? Also would you be kind enough to give me a link to your github If you have it up. Either way ill clear out all my laptop and delete all my development of the moto_msm8960 to start development with my new toy.
[LG G Flex] bbobarino:
Some exciting talk goin on here
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
basically rename it to d959 throughout the tree, sed is great for that. ;)

other than that device specific defconfig for the kernel, the rest it gets from g2-common.

just search my name on github. ;) but like I said the kernel still needs worked out.

any update on recovery for sprint flex KK?

I'm sure someone has asked this already but i searched through the thread and couldn't find anything on the subject so im going to ask:

has there been a confirmed working recovery for 4.4.2 on Sprint variant of the Flex? im still reading through the thread but i just wanted to see if there was or wasnt yet.:confused:
[LG G Flex] brittoking:
None. No eta. For any variant. There have been some secretive hints of something the big guys are working on collaboratively and that it will involve reverting back to 4.2 first.

AT&T D950 Download mode fix.

you might have used it between updates yesterday.

download this:

and with adb:

adb push laf.img /sdcard/laf.img

adb shell su -c 'dd if=/sdcard/laf.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf'

that should fix download mode for you. ;)

[LG G Flex] PattyNYC:
Just read through the thread and you will find the answer. This is not just directed at you Jammer420 but everyone who flashes anything custom on their device. READ the entire thread always! You have a $700 phone and there have been many people(actual developers) who have hard bricked their devices so that you(the casual xda reader) don't have to. Be very thankful to these people and have enough respect for this forum to read first and then ask questions later. Sorry for going off topic
[LG G Flex] Jammer420:
You where right

I didn't fully understand what it meant by going in and deleting and unzipping but got the twrp installed thanks pattynyc but I can get any phone for free they don't mean anything to me to brick one

This is something we had to do with the G2 when it got the KitKat update. To use KitKat with custom recovery you would need boot, modem, rpm, system and tz partition files from 4.4.2 and fix some offesets in kernel...

I have been off the boards for a few weeks so trying to catch up on this but has anyone tried flashing the KK partitions from this recovery and then flashing SuperSU zip to get root for KitKat. Not even sure if there is a root method for KK yet but was something I have been wanting to try for a way to get root.

Is this recovery a 2nd init method...can custom kernels be used?

Sorry if this has been discussed already, went through like 10 pages but did not check the rest ;) Just excited to see there is some progress on the G Flex. I had given up hope since the lack of root for KK. Just broke out the Flex again yesterday, got it all setup without root but now my process.gapps keeps crashing at start up...Have not dug into the issue yet...
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
no 2nd-init here, all works fine for jb, just not got the kk kernel jiving with the jb aboot we're using just yet. ;)

Good news, my Flex is back up and running. Its nice to not get glass slivers in me finger tips. :D

Booting into recovery manually isn't working for me. I either get a white screen with Korean, that I can't understand or it boots into safe mode.

From the LG G Flex (D959)
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
power+vol up, will see korean symbol and tools, release power and vol+, and it should then boot into cwm/twrp.

When I release them, it just sits on Korean tools. Volume - just reboots normal.

[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
I asked him to add the D955 and sent him the needed files. Unfortunately the D955 aboot will not work on the D950 and prolly none of the others, and its jb too, so no benefit.

The one we have working will do, dev work for jb roms can already be happening, AOSP based roms will need some work on the ramdisk & kernel. And as we all know for kk we need some work on the kernel to work with the jb aboot for stock based and AOSP based.
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
Yeah I was starting to wonder if due to the recoveries not jiving well with KK if anyone was going to start on some JB ROMs. Guess I'll have to be the first.

Is there a device tree for the D950 recovery? From that I can get CM or any other AOSP ROMs going. I had plenty of experience from the G2 and can get 4.4.2 AOSP based ROMs on to G Flex 4.4.2 devices.

I don't want to be that guy but in this case I will be. Can you please share the source recovery files as the GPL states ;)
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
if you searched github you would found them easily. And Android isnt under the GPL (thats the kernel), its under the Apache license. And not trying to be an ass, just stating the facts. ;)

The repo I used to build CWM for the Flex is here: https://github.com/playfulgod/android_device_lge_d950 its also in the CM repos. ;)

You'll need g2-common and a few others as well. You should be familiar with what the g2 required.

The repo for TWRP: https://github.com/playfulgod/android_device_lge_f340k and I used omni to build that in.

NOTE: they both are based off g2 repos. ;)
[LG G Flex] Art Vandelay:
Sorry for a dumb question.

Just bought a G Flex today for ATT and rooted it on 4.2.2. If I flash CWM or TWRP recovery, can I somehow flash a KitKat ROM?
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
not presently and retain use of cwm/twrp. We havent worked anything out yet to be able to use the bootloader we are using with kitkat yet. Its in the works tho.

And unfortunately no one has done any jb roms yet either. Kinda disappointing really. :\

stock recovery?

first can anyone tell me how to uninstall this so i dont get stuck in a boot loop with the custom recovery again when preforming the ota update lol(noob mistake) and also is my stock recovery deleted or if i uninstalll this one and do the ota will the update go smoothly? :confused:
[LG G Flex] brandonhatty:
You will have to return to stock using LG falsh tool if you want to take kitkat OTA. So....

1) Return to stock

2) Root (or not)

stock

im on the stock original rom never flashed a custom one

or were you talking about stock recovery im sorry if this is a noob question i had just got this phone 2 weeks ago not to familiar with it any help is much appreciated
[LG G Flex] brandonhatty:
You got it sounds like. When you flash back to stock you will have stock recovery again. Then root before you take ota. If you are on at@t. Idk if the other variants root survives ota.
[LG G Flex] iamthedj:
i never left stock tho is what im saying lol idk if im misunderstanding you but everything accept recovery and root is stock on my phone
[LG G Flex] brandonhatty:
To my knowledge the only way restore stock recovery is to completely flash back to stock. There is no way to flash JUST recovery. You have to flash completely back stock. Right now you are on stock ROM but you have custom recovery. So follow return to stock thread and then you can take ota. Make sense?
