how are people updating the firmware ? i used the lg flash tool and it just keeps saying usb is disconnected...
[LG G Flex 2] shuka325:
Did you disconnect then reconnect?
[LG G Flex 2] seavord:
after waiting 20 mins with the same message yes but still nothing
[LG G Flex 2] shuka325:
Did you make sure to install the drivers? May also try another port on computer
[LG G Flex 2] seavord:
i didnt try another port but i have the latest for my phone

edit: it did the update and all that, the tool crashed at 99% and phone rebooted but still says 10c-234-15 instead of 10 e
[LG G Flex 2] uh60james:
I don't think so. I have been looking without any luck. I think we will either need an unlocked bootloader or support for the LG PC software and a factory image.

Return to stock

For the LS996 (Sprint variant) use the following links:

The tot file and driver:

http://xdaforums.com/g-flex2/help/ls996-tot-t3094660

Follow these instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/g-flex2/general/guide-lg-g-flex-2-stock-firmware-to-t3037593

Be sure to back up anything you want to keep. When an OTA that fixes issues is released, return to stock, receive OTA, re-root. Simple.
[LG G Flex 2] bmoses:
Thanks for the links! so just to make sure i understand this correctly (never used TOT files before). Currently on my sprint ZV5 Flex 2 i can go ahead and root it, then if down the road another OTA comes out i can use these files/guide to flash back to an un-rooted stock image, take the OTA update, and potentially re-root (assuming the current root method still works on a new OTA). if i'm understanding that correctly thats good news! :)
[LG G Flex 2] uh60james:
I stand corrected. :good:

Although I don't understand why people post stuff like this in Q&A instead of general.

I don't know why this was but now it works

Hello everyone! Do we have any news for rooting 5.1.1 ?
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
I think the only solution is to wait for lg to unlock our bootloader like lg g4 European version.
[LG G Flex 2] dadaa1:
how long we have to wait?
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
i don't know until now only the European model of lg g4 has the ability of bootloader unlock.

it is official , also to download the key you have to enter the imei of device so official no warranty!!

[LG G Flex 2] Rully Hidayat:
What version is yours? Mine is H959 V10D_00 and still unable to get root in every method. :(
[LG G Flex 2] Oniinz:
Good day sir

I just want to if this method works with android 5.1.1?
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
Sadly... no
[LG G Flex 2] dadaa1:
Could it be so that we never get this phone rooted with custom recovery? Phone has been half year now selling, G3 has those how is this model so hard or what is the problem? No devs, is that the problem?
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
No one managed to unlock the bootloader. Lg will probably unlock it in the future.

Root is possible with 5.0.1 . downgrade is easy.
[LG G Flex 2] dadaa1:
I dont like to downgrade because 5.1.1 is much better optimized for this phone, so we wait, it might be long wait...
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
I will tell you my personal opinion . if you root 5.0.1 and freeze with titanium all unneeded stuff also disable mlt and tweak the thermal settings, performance is better than 5.1.1
[LG G Flex 2] soosoolhastam:
i agree. i saw the biggest improvement with changing the governor alone to row.
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
You mean row i/o sheduler . you use it with default governor(interactive)?

Try also the performance governor (not recommended for battery though) but you will see in some cases a good increase in performance for example in pcmark with default governor i get 4500 but with performance gov over

6500
[LG G Flex 2] soosoolhastam:
Yup and thermal settings
[LG G Flex 2] RickDangerous:
Could you be specific about which apps it is safe to freeze with titanium backup?

How to change the governor and/or scheduler?

And how and in what way to tweak the thermal settings?

I'd appreciate it!

Thanks!!!!:)
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
For governor and io sheduler you can use a lot of apps i personally use kernel adiutor.

For the thermal settings there is a specific thread from user probaina http://xdaforums.com/g-flex2/general/thermal-throttling-hotplug-settings-t3106165

As for safe apps for freezing

ELTest 1.0

Font Server v4.20.2

Gnss air test 5.0.1

GnssTest 1.2 5.0.2

Lg gnss 2.1 2.0

Lg health

Lg intelligent agent

Lg mlt 2.5.7

LgSetupwizard

Voice mate 4.45.12

Voice mate engine

Voice mate speech

I also disable some google apps like books google play etc

You can also disable some apps like music, mail , video ,internet 5.2... if you use another apps for that reason

There are others probably , if someone wants to add an app ok!!!
[LG G Flex 2] evo_x212:
sorry if my english is bad... is really safe downgrade from 5.1.1 back to 5.0.1 ? which method you use ? flash the KDZ or TOT ?

if TOT method...which version ?? the LGLS996ZV5.tot ???
[LG G Flex 2] Tech_Savvy:
no it is not safe you will brick your device if you downgrade
[LG G Flex 2] evo_x212:
okay...for now still with 5.1.1

BTW i found something interesting about add new APN for G flex 2 running 5.1.1 without root

1. install "OFFLINE SIM APN DATABASE" from Google Play

2 click search the APN from The SIM Card (my Sim card has 3 APN setting)

3. pick one of tha APN Setting

4. Click the Android APN Settings Menu

5. Click the "+" icon showed

6. and FInally you can make your own APN Setting

i've tested this "Mod" on my LS996...i live and indonesia and i used indonesian GSM operator

i hope it can be useful...

Downgraded using LG Flash Tool 2014 and H95910C_00.kdz; works fine for me so far. Rooted, freezed bloatwares using Titanum Backup and temperature control using No-frills CPU Control. Works like a charm.
[LG G Flex 2] dadaa1:
I think I´ll wait some other solution for root. This phone needs also custom recovery and better kernel and downgrade does not bring those.. 5.1.1 is quite ok. What I'm missing most is adaway lucky patcher etc. but I can live without from now on...
[LG G Flex 2] Tech_Savvy:
Well ive read where ppl tried to downgrade and it resulted in a brick
[LG G Flex 2] gomhtog:
As long as they follow the guide right, it is easy downgrading. I downgraded with no issues, even after struggling due to a faulty kdz file I downloaded. As soon as I downloaded the right kdz file, and flashed as they wanted me to, my phone was working perfectly and is now rooted thanks to the guide mentioned in the OP. I even flashed about 3 times, experimenting with some things.

I still have to optimise my phone with Titanium backup etc though, but I am getting to it.
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
Nice to hear that!
[LG G Flex 2] Toyeboy:
So only way at the moment to root is to downgrade back to the original software huh? I just ordered this phone from someone. I hope it gets a way to root 5.1.1 because I hear it's way better, like a different phone.
[LG G Flex 2] dadaa1:
I asked ETA for bootloader unlock and answer was: Hello,

We have no plans to support bootloader unlock in previously launched models including LG G Flex 2.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.

Thank you.

[LG G Flex 2] drmilosh:
This is jus... F** sad... :(
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
our only hope unofficial unlock but I don't think so....
[LG G Flex 2] gomhtog:
Yep. Root is only available on 5.0.1. Root will never be on 5.1.1 until the bootloader is unlocked, and apparently that is only possible if someone unofficially manages to unlock it. There are tips available in here for improving the phone performance. For some it even improved the performance they experienced on 5.1.1. Check in this thread for what bloatware to freeze, and check the thermal settings thread. I did those with my phone, and it looked as if it was working better, though I haven't done a new benchmark yet.

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ----------

I don't suppose it will help if we complain on hellopeter about them not wanting to unlock the bootloader, would it?
[LG G Flex 2] Tech_Savvy:
Can u imagine whhar beast of a phone this would be running some custom aosp wit some amped up kernel.. I still havent given up hope.. I contacted both autoprime and jcase to keep us in mind with their latest g4 root thats not yet been released... They said theyll see once its closer to release
[LG G Flex 2] gomhtog:
Let's hope. This device really has potential. Someone out there must be able to help. If we can get this beauty unlocked, maybe it will become more popular and we'll get more support for it.
[LG G Flex 2] Tech_Savvy:
Ya it dooes...nice hatdware and feels nice in the hands... Wish we would get some help...
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:

[LG G Flex 2] Tech_Savvy:
No they have root... Not yet released bc theyre using it to hopefully find a wayy to unlock bootloader

Is there a guide to downgrading back to 5.0.1 on the ls996? Sprint model? I've read a few people bricking there phones trying to downgrade.
[LG G Flex 2] dadaa1:
What if we all keep asking those lg devs official bootloader unlock for lg g flex 2 and then they decide to do it?
[LG G Flex 2] gomhtog:
I have the H955 that works with kdz files, so I can't verify how well the ls996 method works, but in theory they should both be fine and not brick your phone unless you do something you should not.

http://xdaforums.com/g-flex2/general/guide-lg-g-flex-2-stock-firmware-to-t3037593

That's the guide.

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

If we are enough people, it could work, but we need to have a big enough number for LG to decide that it is worth it. So we'll need a couple of thousand people, at least, I think. LG doesn't want to do it, because I assume that they are afraid of the repercussions and that they will lose money if too many people send back the devices due to bricking it. So we just need to figure out what it is that they want to hear, get enough people to say it to them, and then we should get what we want.
[LG G Flex 2] carlosirai:

[LG G Flex 2] carlosirai:
Ls996 and the pc only detect the Phone as a Qualcomm 9008 device. No download mode, no recovery.
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:

Of you could make a tool to get back to life one flex 2 bricked because a downgrade... That will be awesome
[LG G Flex 2] Sj12345:
Until now I got working :

1.You have the stock 5.0.1 rooted and you need the stock system for an ota

2.Get back to life on broken system like bootloop or error permission (I.e. I deleted build.prop and got bootloop)

Now Im working on getting back to life putting the system file on the SD card

In all cases I need working download mode

Correct?

[LG G Flex 2] Sj12345:
I will need tester for my tool, if it works... You will be able to root, and then when the ota is released... Go back to stock and update...

You are creating stock of H950? :) :)
[LG G Flex 2] Sj12345:
So so, I did a tool for restore system... But I need a "virgin" stock system, never rooted... Because my system.img is already rooted and debloated... So with a stock system.. We can go back to stock
[LG G Flex 2] zurih:
Is there any risk? Would it possibly brick my device?
[LG G Flex 2] Sj12345:
No, it is safe, this is the same exploit that we use to root the sprint 5.1.1 (also g4 users)

First I need a stock backup to test it in my phone, if it works then I send the backup to the betatester, if every thing is ok , I will release it :)
[LG G Flex 2] zurih:
I am about to receive the phone soon (H950). How can I backup?
