Ill send you a copy of a nandroid backup from my phone once i get back to cheyenne bud. It wont be till the 8th though.

Also ch3ck your pm i sent you a link to all the .bin files created from my phone as im attempting to compile a kdz file. I have a .dz file created for the d631 but its not on my drive.

PowerISO may be able to convert them back to .img files as this is what converted them to .bin from .img. If this doesnt work i would just google. 'Convert .bin to .img'
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim tim:
So I convert all the files and then what?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oranget:
Hey.. could I possibly get you to send me a copy of that nandroid backup as well? Right now my phone is stuck in CWM recovery and I need to get it running again.. thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djacks222:
Check your pm for google link to the .bin files too oranget.. And ill send you a copy of whatever is needed to get your phone going. If anyone needs a copy of the bin files pm me. If anyone needs a nandroid backup i will have it on the 8th and i will just ask for a pm so we dont flood this thread with the same request :) and no oranget im not referring to you lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oranget:
Yea I think i am screwed. I cannot do anything but constantly reboot into CWM custom recovery. My computer does not recognize the phone, the phone does nothing in CWM.. no files found, no backup, nothing. I cannot fastboot flash anything because my phone is not recognized. Without a proper .kdz to flash through LG flash tool, i am screwed. Looks like this phone is headed for the trash can.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djacks222:
Dont throw it yet bud. Check different drivers and qpst to see if it would help. I have a .dz file but need to convert it to a kdz file. I used. Dzcreate from xda to make a dz file with all of the .bin files in it. Is there anyone willing to edit the vs880 .dll file to be compatible with the d631? As once we get a flash file we could release an unofficial kdz file for everyone.... Then we can all go from there. These phones may be locked down but nothing is impossible with modifications.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] George19:
Could you send me the .dz file or post a link?

I have a working d631
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdamnit:
If nobody has gotten you the dll file for the VS880 by Monday, I can get it to you. I just need to know where its located, and what needs edited. I have a rooted (not unlocked) VS880 on firmware 10b.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djacks222:
I will have the dz file hosted on my google drive on the 8th. I am in nebraska right now guys and all my files are in cheyenne wyoming. If my wife lets me root her d631 i will create a stock nandroid backup instead of one with all the mods and stuff, but even then it will need to wait until the 8th of July because my rooting tools and whatnots are all on my pc in cheyenne.

Nothing is broke forever. Lg and Att are trying to stop all of the devs as you can tell with the Lolipop update., so we just need to stay one step ahead of them. Lets do this guys. Just please bear with me until i can get to cheyenne wyoming again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim tim:
I can boot to download mode.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djacks222:
Are you capable of running adb commands via recovery? As if you have download mode still instead of fastboot you could pull the stock laf partition as a .img file for the guys that need doenload mode flashed back to stock.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkman08:
Anybody happen to get the update file to flash on our own?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djacks222:
I will use lg pc suite and the download will be in the fota directory on the phone or pc. I know there are ways to save the update and my wife has a d631 too that has not been updated yet. So when we get to cheyenne i will use the phone to download the update and save it. Then ill check what ip address it was downloaded from to see if a ftp browser will let me browse the ip adress to manually download the update
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaverslayer:
I pulled a copy of the OTA update from my phone. I just went ahead and put the whole folder on there, but the main file of concern is the dlpkgf file. It's a type of encrypted zip file. There are ways to flash this using ADB. I think it can also be applied via the E3 recovery. Anyhow, I don't know how to make it a flashable zip. Someone else with more knowledge may can better advise.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim tim:
Well, I haven't been able to use my D631 for about a week now. I am probably going to just go give it to at&t to fix and just pay the fee. Unless someone has made some serious progress.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TekGadgt:
Ok. I don't have this phone but I have a few ideas and a request. 1. If someone has the stock KitKat kdz or an unrooted KitKat system.img, I would greatly appreciate a copy. Also, rather than try to fiddle around with the dlpkgfile like those of us with the G3 did, you'll have better luck taking the upgrade and rooting with something like this, and then attempting to pull the various img files and build a ROM from there. Just saying. We never managed to get in to the dlpkgfile from the G3, it's near impossible.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oranget:
They will repair a bricked phone? I thought the warranty would be invalid and they would not do anything?

Dunno..seems kinda sketchy..i would not chance it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TekGadgt:
Well considering his link leads to no where (the one in the thread you posted, not your link). I'd say it was either legitimate at one point and died before anyone found it, or it was never legitimate. But again, anyone that's updated, try that root method I shared a few posts back and see if it works. If it does, I need a few partitions in .img format from you. Thanks again!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oranget:
I hope there is a kdz file floating around somewhere. I can use LG update tool to unbrick my D-631 that way. I already have custom CWM recovery, but the computer does not recognize it in MTP file transfer mode when plugged in. Cannot copy any zip files to phone storage. Only way to get this thing operational again is to flash either the kit kat or lollipop kdz file to fully restore phone to normal.

It should be a flashable from. Stock. Some bloatware removed. Androild 4.4.2 kk

If you installed cwm try to just restore system ftom the from and then do a factory reset.

Also just received a chance to download I'll set up wifi hot spot on my girls. Connect to wifi and attempt to logcat this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim tim:
:rolleyes:

I'm new to this. So what am I supposed to do? Whenever I connect my phone to my pc it doesn't recognize it as a MTP device. So how would I even get the files to my phone? Would I do it through download mode?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djacks222:
This is a rom that i compiled.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-GvkM12QEbMaUlLdXZ1SjdmVU0/edit?usp=docslist_api I apologize for the in accurate description.

For those that have their phone soft bricked and can boot into recovery or fastboot mode.

It should have the update.zip signing idk if it would work on stock recovery.

I flashed the recovery file I have on my Google drive and the whole explanion of it was posted on the thread here

http://xdaforums.com/android/help/guide-how-to-lg-d-631-att-fastboot-t3130955

If your phone isn't bricked I don't know this is just a test to see if it helps people on a soft brick

Use Droid explorer to see if your phone will be read in regular recovery. Then attempt to flash the recovery file in the guide with it.

Try all the drivers on the link

Install android sdk and check anything to do with 4.4 and all the good stuff like Google adb driver n stuff

Install Java sdk too

When in stock recovery just stay at the main screen too

Then flash just the system in custom restore

Then wipe data / factory reset.

It worked on my soft brick

If that don't work install it as. Zip

Any testers?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TekGadgt:
No need to logcat it. Just like the G3, the file comes in a dlpkgfile format that can't be broken. The only way you can move forward would be to take the update on a clean phone and attempt to root it and pull the .img files for the various partitions. I posted a link to a root utility a few posts back that should work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiawan:
I updated my LG Vista D631 to lollipop OTA and now trying to root. I get to the firmware update screen on the phone but then nothing happens. I've tried the one click root and the script and also the manual method (Send_Command.exe \\.\COMx < root). Someone please help me out here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djacks222:
I rooted with the kingroot apk then Dow loaded kinguser and I have not ever had an issue with root
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim tim:
Then why don't you logcat it? Obviously no one else can do it, or they already would have.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TekGadgt:
I'm saying no one needs to logcat it. Doing so would be pointless as we already know the format it comes in cannot be opened in any normal manner. I have a G3, but with AT&T the update comes in the same format for the G3 and the G Vista. It's called a dlpkgfile. As I said, you can't open it. The G3 devs learned that very quick. Instead, someone will have to take the update on a clean device and figure out how to root the update. Someone above mentioned they used Kingroot on it. Another person mentioned that the Oneclick didn't work for them. so here is a link to kingroot. Also, if you try the LG Oneclick here, make sure you set your COM port right in the device manager, or the root utility won't recognize it in DL mode. I'm going to ignore the fact that you were a little short with me even though I don't own the device and am just trying to help the owners of D631 devices out so they don't have the same issues G3 users did. I'll gladly go though if you think I'm not helping.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djacks222:
Thank you TekGadgt. I truly appreciate all that you are doing. And honestly I don't want you to split because the devs are so few and far in between for the lg vista. Can I pm you if I need help on stuff?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TekGadgt:
Sure! I'll help where I can! I don't pretend to be a big time dev, but I am working with a team to try to bring some interesting things to the G3. A sense port for the D850 is what I'm working on currently.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skarloey28:
Make sure if you try this method you have your SD Card formatted to FAT32 with Cluster Size 32k or the recovery will not see the card. I am unable to format mine (can't find adapter) and am getting cannot mount /sdcard (Invalid argument) error. I believe if I could format my card I could get past this error.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macdofco:
No go... I formatted an SD to fat32 32 bit and it still could not be recognized.

I thought perhaps the usb connection mounted my SD drives on my pc or something so android didn't have access while in recovery, using the IOroot method of launching recovery.

I then tried to find a way to boot into recovery using pwr and vol buttons, like the G2 and G3. It doesn't work. All I did was factory reset my device, BUT recovery didn't load.

ANY other ideas? I guess I am going to have use my old Ubuntu box to try and root. It sure would be nice to have a Windows 7 or XP method for rooting this phone!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skarloey28:
I don't see how the issue getting ADB in recovery to work is driver related. It says that the device isn't recognized. That error doesn't come up when a driver is missing. I have gotten that error before on phones with damaged usb ports. There is something more to this and I don't see it being driver related. There is no result regardless of what driver I throw at it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dscutta:
Well a ball on notification comes up that say a USB device malfunctioned as soon as you activate adb sideload in recovery which is used to send the zip file with the su bianary. So I went into device manager and saw that my device's driver was not working so I had to edit the drivers inf file to install the driver for my device. Of course this is when I tried on windows 8.1 I didn't get the driver to install because the driver isn't digitally signed and I don't know how to disable this in windows 8.1 because there isn't an f8 boot menu. And on Linux you have to make sure ioroot is pointing to the adblinux file in the bts folder also if somebody can try it on a Mac don't have one and I am going to get the driver working in windows of course I will post a download Link with instructions if I get it working but I am using a 64 bit is so it might not work for 32 bit but it should.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macdofco:
So you got the driver working in Linux b but not Win8?

The LGViet(dot)com web site has bit instructions for the Asian version (GX2 or F430) using purple drake. The instructions mention the G3, so I think the root method is the same... But it didn't work on my G Vista D631.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheezwiz789:
USB?

So... On Linux, adb works great, and can even boot the phone into recovery mode nicely.

However... As soon adb side load is selected, it disappears from lsusb. Obviously, if it isn't listed there, adb looses the device, and can't side load the root for IORoot.

This is with Mint 17.

The Vista is of the AT&T variety.

So... Is there something special that I need to add to my android USB rules?

I just made sure that I had the lg id in there. (1004)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djacks222:
I'm working on one with the lollipop update.

This was from the d631 10b running 4.4.2 KitKat.

About the vs880 and d631 being compatible.

I have not tried to flash the kdz on the d631 due to no kdz released for the d631..

However. I do know that there is something to do with the modem. The d631 is gsm (only some are cdma) and the vs880 is cdma.

Which this goes beyond what i know.

If you have a hard bricked lg vs880 from Verizon I have a link for the kdz file. So that one is unbrickable. However for the d631 there is not a kdz file released yet.

Ok. Unfortunately until someone gets the Lollipop update rooted (I'd try, but I don't own the device), a ROM zip can't be made. As soon as someone gets it rooted on lollipop, have them upload the System.img, Boot.img, and I'll look into the others I need, though those are the major two. Once I have those, I can create a zip for flashing the img files in recovery. From there, I could turn it into a proper ROM base with potentially some customization.
