[Guide] LG G Flex 2 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ &amp; TOT Method

Oh that's different ignore that. That's just from the dll....

And as I stated before tot file invalid means as it says. Please re download using a download manager.
[LG G Flex 2] Zederia:
i did use a manager. fire fox's manager
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
Using Firefox it's not a download manager unless you used an add on. Download managers are internet download manager and free download manager.
[LG G Flex 2] Zederia:
I have ff addon managers
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
I am not sure of that. If your downloading Just through Firefox that's not a download manager..

Have you tried redownloading and have you tried LGUP ??
[LG G Flex 2] Zederia:
lgup 7% then errors with lower version. I have dowloaded the tot a few times as well, before posting
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
What error do you get?
[LG G Flex 2] Zederia:
a downgrade error. my phone was on zvb
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
What do you mean downgrade error?? Are you getting the antirollback message? If so you can't do anything about that. That's stopping you from bricking
[LG G Flex 2] Zederia:
well, how can I reflash it then? it is boot-looping on me
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
If you cannot find or use a newer tot there is no way to flash it sadly.
[LG G Flex 2] Zederia:
need to f8nd a zvb tot then.. or could a lgup it to marshmellow?
[LG G Flex 2] spasoman:
some time ago in LS996 when I try unlock it I was something wrong and it start laggy and it lost sound at all (mic, and headphone out also not working). I try to flast it via flashtool and LGUP few times, and also the same. After flasfing done I loaded to the same OS with SuperSU and my program. I thought that it's some defect with phone.

Now I bought another LS996 and when unlock I make the same mistake (maybe I use bad rootedsystem.img ?). Also no sound at all, and after flash I loaded to the same OS.

How I can back to stock? How can remove all program and flash clean OS?

maybe someone experienced? thx you a lot, and sorry for my English
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
[Guide] LG G Flex 2 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ &amp; TOT Method

Little confused as to what your asking, your asking how to go back to stock but at the first of your post you said you used LGUP on your previous device, that's IS how you go back to stock. There's nothing else.

Also any reason you keep buying an LS996? That model is only meant to be used on Sprint in the USA on a cdma network. It's use is not really meant for use on GSM networks.
[LG G Flex 2] spasoman:
I from Ukraine, and it's great phone for great price. Easy unlock gide for working in GSM network.

Strange, but after flashing via LGUP or LGflashtool SuperSU not remove , also all instaled program not removed.
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
Yeah it's a great phone and price, but the Sprint model is the last model you would want to use outside of the Sprint network. Software and modem was is not meant for use on GSM.

You are choosing CSE flash correct? Choosing Normal will cause this and cause other problems.
[LG G Flex 2] spasoman:
http://xdaforums.com/g-flex2/general/sprint-g-flex-2ls996-gsm-domestic-t3122813 - easy manual to unlock GSM.

Where find Normal flash (its' only in LG Flash Tool that flash KDZ, for LS996 only TOT firmware)? Didn't see that option in LGUP, of LGFlashtool. Also I try flash LS996ZV8 Stock System Image directly, the same result :(
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
[Guide] LG G Flex 2 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ &amp; TOT Method

Sorry about that on LGUP where you choosing refurbish I meant to say. Not choosing upgrade correct??

Yeah I know of the unlocking procedure, I've been dealing with lg devices including the locked Sprint devices for years but it's very unreliable. Sprint devices are the last you want to use.

That guide you must be rooted anyway to change any of that. I've used those same methods on other Sprint LG devices to play around with in the past.
[LG G Flex 2] spasoman:
Thx for help.

But in LGUP only UPGRADE, PRL UPDATE, PHONESETTINGS, and FOTA update button.

I try UPGRADE and FOTA update, another want some PRL file
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
Upgrade is the reason your having issues. You need to choose Referbish. If you don't see the refurbish option are you sure you downloaded LGUP from this thread? You must ALWAYS choose refurbish, choosing upgrading can break a ton of things including brick in some circumstances.
[LG G Flex 2] spasoman:
If you don't see the refurbish option are you sure you downloaded LGUP from this thread?

in this tread I see only LG FlashTools V1.8 (That i try also, and don't see that option Refurbish), don't see LGUP where download.
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
You would use LGUP, http://oceanhost.eu/eps4h4pmwphu/LGUP.zip.htm and you choose refurbish in LGUP when flashing.
[LG G Flex 2] spasoman:
download and install your versrion, where this option?
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
[Guide] LG G Flex 2 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ &amp; TOT Method

Are you sure you uninstalled the other completely? And also installed the dll installer files as well? Refurbish should be the first option
[LG G Flex 2] spasoman:
I reinstal LG UP from you soruce, also try clean isntal to another PC - the same, no button refurbish.

Also as you can see from my screen - I have the same version of program and dll
[LG G Flex 2] Nikyle18:
Ok quick question. I bought my lg g flex 2 att version on ebay and it came with a factory unlock code. If I were to restore to stock will I lose my unlock? I feel kinda noob-ish rn lmao.

Does anyone have a kdz v15 for f510s? I want to revert to lollipop so that i can root my phone. Thanks :)
[LG G Flex 2] G Flex 2:
I have rooted and stuck on Authentication Error # 9. Do you think I should follow the above steps.
[LG G Flex 2] tzadkiel:
thank you

My brother got his ls996 pretty screwed... was on zv6, acted quite weird, than after system restore, the screen was just flashing, unusable... I followed the info (all was present in the first post)... Now it works... zv8...
[LG G Flex 2] guest112:
ok i used this method on my 996 then after 100% it was a black screen. Now the usb says Device Descriptor Request Failed. If anyone can be of some assistant that would be great!
[LG G Flex 2] tzadkiel:
i did a quick search for "Device Descriptor Request Failed", and it seems to be a problem with windows... i use gnu, so that's all the help I have.
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
You mean it's saying unknown device? That's usually means you've bricked your device. So you've held volup with the phone off while plugging in a USB cable that is connected to a USB 2.0 only port? USB 3.0 will not work. Also you said you used gnu? Linux? You must use Windows and not means of a virtual machine.
[LG G Flex 2] guest112:
i used 3.0, so easy j tag or what?!
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
You need to use USB 2.0... Atempt to place the phone into download mode first
[LG G Flex 2] tzadkiel:
I was trying to answer another user "guest112"... thank you for replying, but it seems that I only added confusion to the discussion. I was trying to point guest112 to a common solution to finding the source of a problem... I had no problem loading all of the downloads in OP in gnu/linux using wine, but originally followed the instructions in windows. When the phone needs this again (as I'm sure it will), I will attemt to execute in gnu/linux... again, thank you.
[LG G Flex 2] guest112:
It doesn't enter download mode with vol down while plugging micro USB.
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
What about volume up??
[LG G Flex 2] guest112:
vol up doesnt show download mode. The port says its qualcom hs-usb qdloader 9008(COM8).
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
[Guide] LG G Flex 2 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ &amp; TOT Method

That would mean it's a brick sadly.

Did you attempt to downgrade your device?? If so you cannot do that with the Sprint model depending on what version you are running.

[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:

[LG G Flex 2] crisra:
Can I flash zv8 over zvb or what options I have?
[LG G Flex 2] Fer-varayud:
Ok kdz from lg flex 2 h959 or any kdz?, Charge in lg flash tool kdz instead of tot?
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
If you have a H959 then yes you would flash a H959 firmware.
[LG G Flex 2] Fer-varayud:

Help me please can not find the firm and the dll to flash my lg h959 in the specific page of the tutorial does not appear that firm
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
As I just stated in my previous post. You use the KDZ method not the tot method for your model..
[LG G Flex 2] maanarman:
i need ls996zvb.tot file for repair my mobile

any one give me link please
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
First of all you're posting in the G Flex 2 section. And second there is an LS996 tot in the OP links under the G4 folder. You cannot get specific firmwares when it comes to US carrier devices (mostly).

It seems you have a G4, if it randomly started bootlooping flashing a firmware will not fix it as that is a hardware issue.
[LG G Flex 2] maanarman:
Sir it's dead in downgrading now i need zvb firmware for alive again this mobile
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
If it's dead from downgrading you cannot fix that. Once you trip antirollback you cannot fix it.
[LG G Flex 2] Iron_Overheat:
Nevermind
[LG G Flex 2] acesama:

[LG G Flex 2] ISoleda:
The first one method, well i flashed again y now the phone is just dead, no download mode no signals of life, LGLS996 the model
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
Where you attempting to downgrade your device by any chance? You cannot downgrade the LS996 if latest firmware
[LG G Flex 2] ISoleda:
MAybe i drowngraded... :( do you know any way to fix it? y cant enter to download mode, just a 5.5" brick
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
If no download mode seems like you've tripped antirollback, only fix is board replacement or warranty sadly.
[LG G Flex 2] musicayraices:
Hello, good morning, how are you? I flashe with zv8 tot ... how to do to update android 6.0? it's possible? Thanks and sorry for my english
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
Good morning there :) since it's the Sprint version nothing other unless you've tried going to settings, system update, and software update. There's no other way.
[LG G Flex 2] musicayraices:
Ok, thanks Hyelton for your quick response, as always ... regards !!!
[LG G Flex 2] le grande magnetto:
How to get the mysterious .tot file? and from what zip?
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
Explain? That would all depend on your model.. if you should be even using the tot method. Tot files are in the OP.
[LG G Flex 2] le grande magnetto:
Yeah, tot method is probably not for h955. I have solved my issue other way. I needed to downgrade from android 6 to android 5 in order to root to get root again, because rooted img could not be flashed on top of android 6..
[LG G Flex 2] apathy7502:
Does anyone have stock H950 img or TOT that I can use to revert to stock (unrooted) b/c I need to file a warranty claim and lost my backup.
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
What's wrong with the one in the OP/ my server? Or is that one rooted? I cannot remember. Sadly it's the only one available.
[LG G Flex 2] apathy7502:
Thank you for your reply. The one on your server works, but is rooted unfortunately. I did try flashing my phone with it to see if the SuperSU method would unroot it permanently, but a reset of the phone brings the root right back unfortunately. I think I give up on this search. Lol.

I appreciate everyone in this community, but it sucks that LG gave up on this phone so earlier in its life. I dont think I'll every buy another LG phone...
[LG G Flex 2] bassoprofundo:
Shouldn't be anything wrong with the TOT. I've used it myself in the past, and it never changed the root status of my phone. It's a stock .TOT straight from AT&T, so it wouldn't be rooted.
[LG G Flex 2] tzadkiel:
I used this also, but the phone still says rooted... I thought this is why it won't accept ota update, but no difference... Ls996 zv8
[LG G Flex 2] bassoprofundo:
NM... You'd be using the Sprint one (vs the AT&T) for a LS996, so I can't comment on that one. Sorry!
[LG G Flex 2] tzadkiel:
I was not sure, so I added my voice... The device is not mine, and was purchased rooted, so maybe the root method is persistent when flashing?
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
[Guide] LG G Flex 2 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ &amp; TOT Method

Root is 100% lost when flashing a kdz or a non prerooted tot.
[LG G Flex 2] tzadkiel:
I was told the phone displayed rooted somewhere. I'll inquire, as to what the owner meant... Thank you for clarifying.
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
I'm going to assume download mode. But always re reflash stock firmware if rooted does not go away in download mode as it's a glitch (with the G2 or G3) anyway. But the tot in the op for that model may very well be prerooted. I don't have that model to test it.
[LG G Flex 2] tzadkiel:
I will report back...
[LG G Flex 2] tzadkiel:
The ls996 tot that I flashed using this thread has SuperSu.
[LG G Flex 2] ctobeck:
does my phone need to have the developer mode enabled with USB debugging on
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
If you want to use LGUP with the phone booted up. Other wise if directly attempting download mode no as it has nothing to do with download mode
[LG G Flex 2] tenx82:
Does anyone have a ZVB tot file for LS996?
[LG G Flex 2] culot:
Here?
[LG G Flex 2] tenx82:
Thanks. I found that on another forum after asking here and forgot to post back.

I'm using that one for now, but I'm still looking for a rooted ZVB image also if anyone has it. The original poster on xda no longer has it uploaded.
[LG G Flex 2] culot:
That TOT I linked is rooted. I wasn't expecting that! Excellent.
[LG G Flex 2] tenx82:
Awesome!! I thought is was just a stock image. Ha! I didn't even check it.

Thanks !! :victory:
[LG G Flex 2] carlox97:
My H950 was on 5.1.1 11x version, so I was trying to go back to stock and I followed the steps exactly as described on original post. I downloaded the 11z tot and the dll on the OP server. It flashed without problems, perfectly. But I noticed that it is still rooted and Super SU app is still installed, why? I think it shouldn't be there anymore 'cause I reflashed it completely. Maybe 'cause I chose Upgrade DL option instead of Board DL option? Is Upgrade DL for updating your firmware and Board DL for erasing everything and flashing a new firmware? Am I right? Could anyone explain me the difference between those options?

Thanks!
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
Most likely that tot file is prerooted. As that's the only available for some US models.
[LG G Flex 2] carlox97:
Ok perfect, and the another doubt... what's the difference between Upgrade DL and Board DL?

Thanks
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
Nothing really when it comes to flashing other than if you get a blue screen with a number 2 then you would use board_dl
[LG G Flex 2] sergsinger:
Hello, guys.

Will this thread help me with rolling​ back from MM to LP? Model H959, V20a-GLOBAL-ESA (previous was 15C-TWN).

Thanks in advance!
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
As long as there's no antirollback for your model and firmware yes. You would use LGUP
[LG G Flex 2] sergsinger:
So just flash 5.1.1 with LGUP?

I have tried, but it seems to me that I've got a bootloop, because for over 10 min. I see only "LG" icon.
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
Yes. Usually if that happens you may not be able to downgrade your model and have to flash a newer firmware.
[LG G Flex 2] andrew21:

Thanks in advance, trying to fix a friend's phone. The dills996.dll file downloaded from link in OP does not match the dll file name in the screenshot in OP. I have everything downloaded and extracted. Swapped the megalock but looks like I don't have the correct dll since the tool fails to give the ok on the port 1 in the flash tool.
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
The screenshot is an example, it's not for a specific model. Remember each model will use a different dll file. If the dll file was invalid you couldn't continue past the tot/dll selection screen.

What do you mean fails to give the ok? Screenshot? Error message?

Phone in download mode correct? And your using a USB 2.0 port?

Your not attempting to downgrade are you? You cannot downgrade the LS996 if your running later firmware. It can permanently brick the device.
[LG G Flex 2] Travisdroidx2:
Sorry rebooting my PC now. The device I have is a Sprint varient. I used the link in OP for the 996 V8 for Sprint. Downloaded the tot file and mega as well as the dills.dll file. I am not trying to downgrade. When I open the tool, choose manual and the dills.dll file and pick the 996v8 tot and enter then I hit the forward button and it is not getting through the checks of the file. Rebooting pc now cause tool keeps going to not responding during the check. Thanks for the support.
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
What software version is currently running on the phone? And by downgrading I'm meaning if the phone is running a newer firmware and you flash this you can potentially brick the device. After clicking okay depending on your computer flashtool may say not responding for up to an min or even longer just depends on the computer.
[LG G Flex 2] Travisdroidx2:
Was running ls996zvb phone is bootlooping and when it does boot touchscreen is mostly non responsive. So wanted to flash to stock to try and restore it.
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
I'd recommend flashing ZVB I'm not sure if any new antirollback was implented but downgrading by flashing what you've already downloaded would be risky https://mega.nz/#!3tY3hAZA!FTN0kEri0zbS2owhSCRxo6ilQSONw9izXDTzVRI5WE4

Have you tried using LGUP?

If the phone is already 100% stock not rooted etc that issue sounds like the common battery issue and or a hardware problem.
[LG G Flex 2] Travisdroidx2:
Thank you very much. And no I have not tried LG up as I use a Nexus device so usually deal with fastboot. This tool is new to me.

Lg h955

Здравствуйте ГЕНИИ и НЕ гении! :)

У меня модель H955, стоит android 6.0.1.

Решил я сделать сброс к заводским настройкам, всё почистить!

Произошла у меня неприятная история - после сброса перестала работать камера или работать как ей вздумается: то фронтальная включится, при этом после нажатия снимка фото переворачивается к верх ногами, то вообще не вкл. пишет ошибка камеры.

Пробовал опять сброс делать, пробовал перепрошивать, ни чего не происходит - в лучшую сторону.

Хотел вернуть в стоковое состояние, как в шапке указано на XDA, с помощью LG FlashTool, боюсь и может не получиться т.к. там указаны файлы (.tot и .dll) для H996.

Кто ни будь знает для H995 файлы ( .tot и .dll).

Или другая , любая информация!!!

При много благодарен, всем желающим помочь!

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

Hello geniuses and NOT geniuses! At me model H955, costs android 6.0.1. I decided to reset to factory settings, clean everything! I had an unpleasant story - after the reset the camera ceased to work or work as it pleases: then the front will turn on, while after clicking the photo, the photo flips to the top with its feet, it is not at all inclusive. Writes camera error. Tried to reset again, tried to reflash, or what does not happen - for the better. I wanted to return to the stock state, as in the header indicated on the XDA, with the help of LG FlashTool, I'm afraid and can not work because There are files (.tot and .dll) for H996. Nobody knows for H995 files (.tot and .dll). Or another, any information !!! With a lot of grateful, everyone who wants to help

I need help!!!!
