If you could flash the dz and see if you get the same files, if you do, please upload them. That might be able to give me some info that is needed for repacking a dz

I could extract the TOT file and can see there are multiple bin files.

However still not able tree extract the kdz file.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAddict||AA:
I have already extracted the kdz and dz and did a little work to it. All I have to do now is repack it or find another way to flash it without packing as a dz file.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammyz:
How did you extract the TOT? When I did, it extracted it incorrectly.

Edit: if you need help extracting the KDZ, install python 2.7

Use this script to extract kdz and then dz:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2483250

The script does need editing for it to work correctly with MS323 (not sure about D320), if you need help, I'll edit it for you and upload here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogeshsr:
I will try today.earlier I tried the py script and it didn't work,most likely because of the py version I used.

EDIT: I used the LG Firmware extract tool to extract TOT. please check the screenshot
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammyz:
Ahhh ok, that explains it, I was using Xonar's Binextractor for the tot. He hasn't updated it for the LG G2 yet.

So I'm sure you have seen this, but I just went to lg help thingy today, and found this. I don't have enough memory on my phone to see what the actual file is, but I thought I'd post it for everyone's knowledge.

metropcs lg l70 bricked - help!

hey,

i rooted my lg ms323 yesterday and it worked fine. today, i got a little trigger-happy and started uninstalling stuff like crazy. i ended up uninstalling the "lg home" app and the home settings (i had installed a different launcher and so for some reason i guess i thought i didnt need the LG one) and it was still working fine. fast forward a few hours, i download a cool font, try to replace it on my own by putting it into the fonts folder and changing some permissions. boom, no text shows at all. so i'm like, okay, no problem, i'll just restart it and it'll be fine. i restarted it and it was stuck on the LG boot animation, so i did a hard reset. now, it's stuck on the LG "life's good" splash screen, not booting or anything. i've tried hard resetting 5 or 6 times, all to the same result.

can someone please help? is there anyway to unbrick it or get it into recovery mode or something?

thanks all

Yep, uninstall the updates to Google Search. Apparently once updated it is always using your mic because it is waiting for "Ok Google", therefore leaving the the video app unable to work. Very stupid if you ask me, but that should fix your problem :)

Has anyone tried using ART instead of Dalvik? I tried it out shortly after I got my phone about a month ago, and it really didn't want to cooperate. I switched back immediately, but I was wondering if anyone else had any success/failure?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quailallstar:
I think I'm on ART. I chose ART a while back, phone rebooted and it's working (I think.?) Is there a way to confirm the system is on ART and not Dalvik? Never got any type of confirmation. Phone does seem a little slow at times but that might be the small amount of RAM available.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jma9454:
Settings->developer options->select runtime (4th down).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quailallstar:
Maybe I wasn't clear. I enabled ART a while back but don't know if it worked. How can I check? Is there some log I can look at?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caseyjp11:
Go to that setting, it will tell you which one is active.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quailallstar:
Went into the setting and the options are the following no matter which one I choose.

Even after reboot the order is the same. Like I said before - is there no way to confirm which runtime I'm on outside of this menu?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caseyjp11:
No, I'm referring to the base menu..it should say 'use xxx' the one you're currently on should be the xxx
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jma9454:
Yeah, what Casey said. Before you click to select, it should say what you're using.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quailallstar:
Ah ok I think I get it now. So right now I'm on Dalvik as it is what is chosen when I open the menu. Let me switch to ART and see how it looks. Stand by.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jma9454:
Also, I'm not positive on this, but if you go to the root directory and go to data, you may see a folder labeled ART-cache as opposed to Dalvik-cache that I have.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quailallstar:
Selected ART. Phone rebooted, went into the development menu and Dalvik was the default item chosen still. I'm not convinced this is working. Let me try and look for what you mentioned above.

Yes, I do, indeed, but i think it's a bug... On every update made until now the changes were made on ''Internet'', but I've noticed that on the last update a lot of bugs were fixed like the problem with the flip cover(idk if you've faced it) But it just doesn't seem right for an update that consists in 121mb of data to change just one thing... Could we expect a new version of Android, like 4.4.4? It's just too big for bugfixes and other minor things like ''Internet'' as they say.

Seems to be a way of trans-flashing software, to make the MS323 behave as if it was a D320F8. The latter seems to be an international unlocked variation of the L70.

See pdadb dot net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=6063&id2=6380 to compare the two.

Some highlights of the differences:

An 8MP camera (vs. 5MP; but still only WVGA video)

UMTS850 (B5) and UMTS2100 (B1) (vs. 850/1700/1900 per slickdeals. But PDADB shows the MS323 with UMTS850 (B5), UMTS1700/2100 (B4), UMTS1900 (B2), UMTS2100 (B1).

IEEE 802.11a

Android Beam NFC

But they also show FM radio and dual standby on the MS323, so I do not know how much I'd trust them.

Enabling OSP (On-Screen Phone) Software

I've been able to enable to OSP software. For those who are not aware of it, basically it permits you control your phone from PC and has notifications for calls etc. Here's how to do it:

1. Download and install the apk file on your phone from the LG G2 thread.

2. Visit the LG G2 support website. Under the "Download" section, click on the OSP link and download the OSP software (for PC only, sorry no Mac).

3. Install the OSP software on your PC and post installation, it may prompt you to update the software. Do the update.

4. Post update, launch OSP on the PC and follow the on screen instructions to configure the settings. Note - On the "Prepare Connection" screen (see image), just click Next as none of the options apply.

That's it. FYI - I used the USB option to connect my phone to the PC as I'd some trouble using the wireless option - has to do with firewalls on my security software. But some of you may be able to connect via bluetooth or wifi.
