How will you flash tot to bricked phone? It is not recognizable by PC.

If he asked 20usd....go for it. I will pay 50%

Hello, How can we do a manual update to latest root-able Version ( say V8 ), am also on V4

Thanks in advance
[LG G Flex 2] atv:
mine says lg security error and it goes to download mode fine, so it's recognizable by pc

the issue is, i don't think and i don't know if there is a chance that his file for sale really works, or really is a zv08 rooted fully working tot
[LG G Flex 2] aamszia:
ZV7 TOT or KDZ needed ......

i have 1 with unknown baseband after OTA
[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
Read through the forums there is no other tot or kdz other than zv5 and if you flash that you get a hard brick. Keep OTA updating to zv9.

i have a AT&T H950 with V11x software, can i root my phone?

Question:

Need delete the AT&T Adress book, can i do this without brick my Phone? (Security error)
[LG G Flex 2] adds08:
Check next EASY ROOT thread and download rootedsystem.img for 11x ..

You will get a .gz file

Extract it with winrar or compatible software

Now you should get rootedsystem.img

Copy that to ROOT OF INTERNALSTORAGE (NOT MICROSD)

now download easyroottool in that thread

First before running

Connect device to pc and check for proper driver

Also goto download mode and check if drivers are properly installed

If so

Run the tool

Keep adb debugging checked on phone

The tool should automatically shutoff to dwnload mode.

In your guide thread? It's not that I haven't followed instructions because I haven't done anything with her phone yet. Apparently my wife went to use her phone and it is soft bricked I believe. Its gives a security error message before bootlogo and stays that in that screen, after pulling battery I can access download mode but not recovery. I suspect she rooted it awhile back and didn't turn off automatic OTA updating but not certain. Thank you for your patience
[LG G Flex 2] xantanion:
How did you pull the battery? With some screwdrivers?

Why would I use screwdrivers? I just pulled battery out and that was that.

Hi.. tried the root method, struck on the "No Command" screen now... Even in the download mode when query for id, I get no response? Can someone suggest things to try??

Thanks
[LG G Flex 2] anseroid:
You are in the same situation as me. Probably, the system image was corrupted, and now you have a corrupted system partition. Download mode loads, but Send_Command.exe does not work. The only thing that we can try is flashing a Lollipop i.e. ZV6 or newer TOT with LG Flash Tool. However, the only TOT available on XDA is ZV5, and flashing it on a Lollipop device will hard brick it. The ZV8 TOT is also available on some sites, but they are charging like $20 for it.
[LG G Flex 2] jdhanur:
Thanks for the reply!! Can you point me to the sites with zv8 tot? Do you think flashing an older TOT (ZV6,7,8) on a ZV9 will brick the phone??
[LG G Flex 2] LoLo98:
Help please

Seriously I have looked EVERYWHERE for a method to rooting my G FLEX 2

LG LS996ZV9

Android 5.1.1

Sprint

No matter where I go there is absolutely NOTHING on rooting ZV9

Only ZV6, ZV7

Please help
[LG G Flex 2] chetveriks:
Any TOT written over later version of ZV will destroy your logic board. = hard brick.

[LG G Flex 2] anseroid:
As far as I know, flashing ZV6 over ZV9 will not brick the phone. The Sprint LG G4 has the same antirollback system. Flashing ZV5 over any later version bricks the phone, but ZV6 can be flashed over any later version. See this. But I can not confirm anything, since no ZV5+ TOT has been available here yet. As for the ZV8 TOT, Google "ls996 zv8 tot site:lgbbs.com".
[LG G Flex 2] chetveriks:
i would give a half of that [MENTION=352891]download[/MENTION] price@ but mine ls996 is Q9008 already(((. So i'd better spend it for new logic board.
[LG G Flex 2] anseroid:
Before buying a new logic board, which was $129 last time I checked on ebay, I would suggest you should ask the repair guys around you if they perform direct eMMC flashing. One person was able to get to download mode from 9008 mode by flashing ls996 eMMC dump to his us995 device with Easy JTAG. See this.
[LG G Flex 2] chetveriks:
read to the end - you will get LOGO screen. As there are no ZV+ TOT (KDZ) files available. Sadly, but no chance for resurrection yet.
[LG G Flex 2] anseroid:
I did read to the end. The person got boot loop because he cross-flashed LS996 files to his US995. Moreover, a few posts later he said that he had not flashed the complete dump. As for the TOT, we might have a ZV8 or ZV9 TOT very soon. User hyelton is working on it. My phone is currently soft bricked, so I am counting on that.

[LG G Flex 2] bigmelwalter:

[LG G Flex 2] chetveriks:
Same as for any other ZV. Just check the .img filename to be correct.
[LG G Flex 2] bigmelwalter:
Would this be it?

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=58368 count=522240 of=/data/media/0/system.img
[LG G Flex 2] chetveriks:
To flash rooted IMG use this one.

dd if=/data/media/0/rootedsystem.img bs=8192 seek=58368 count=522240 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

Check your IMG file be same name.

thanks and sorry for my bad english
[LG G Flex 2] shinobisoft:
Yes. Use the v15b image. Also download the LG_Root.zip from post #2. You'll need it to flash the rooted image.

[LG G Flex 2] shinobisoft:
It can be rooted. Can you use Send_Command.exe from LG_Root.zip to make a backup dump of the system partition? If so, I can root the image if you can upload it somewhere. I have a different variant so I can't use my system image.

Getting system.img on Marshmallow

Did anybody manage to get the system image for Marshmallow? I wanted to make a few modifiactions to it and flash it back, but the Send_command program doesn't seem to work properly anymore. It actually runs, but after running any command (like "id" to see my uid) I get only "Hello I am LAF. Nice to meet you".

I even tried running dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=50496 count=458752 of=/data/media/0/system.img (the skip and count values are calculated for Marshmallow H955 which has a new partition map), but that doesn't work either.

If I can't fix LG's idiotic DPI setting in build.prop I will have to sell the phone. The huge UI hurts my eyes and wm density doesn't work properly, so correcting build.prop is the only way to fix it.

About T-Mobile, and about memory loss

I have a LG-H950 11x on the 5.1.1 OTA with no previous system modifications / rooting whatsoever. The phone was unlocked so I can use it with T-Mobile. Will rooting the phone using this method affect the unlock (or reset it to AT&T, which is what I do not want), or will it be kept as T-Mobile (what it currently is)? Also, does this wipe all of my files in addition to rooting, or will the data be kept? Thanks in advance. :D

Were you successful with the downgrade? How did you do it?
[LG G Flex 2] Val3r10:
Hello. Sorry for bumping this thread

I just downgraded my H955 from V20c to V15e (KDZ & LGUP "refurbish" method), Android v6.0.1 to v5.1.1, only to gain root.

Everything worked that first step.

Then I followed this method, by recalc again and again the partition offset and length values, and they should be exact for the V15e too:

ls -la /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system
cd /sys/block/mmcblk0/mmcblk0p45

# size
7340032*512/8192 = 458752

# start
851968*512/8192 = 53248

Saved the system.img for V15e, then injected root by myself (couldn't find a rootedsystem.img for 15e anywhere) and everything seemed working.

But everything ended in a bootloop: I'm stuck on the LG-logo forever...

I also managed to do a wipe data, but the bootloop persists.

Now I entered the fastboot state again, so I re-flashed the stock V15e, but would sort out where things went wrong....

I downgraded MM to Lollypop just for root...

Any idea ? Thanks a lot

You can modify the original rom, but don't know if it's any help. Official marshmallow was latest on flex 2, and it wasn't rooted, I think.

Sprint LS996ZVC

Thank you [MENTION=1546159]ergo911[/MENTION] ! This might be a stupid question but I thought that there was a method to root ZVB? Hence I was curious if anyone was able to root ZVC. I know that sprint, along with other US carriers have incorporated anti rollback with their firmwares so I can’t even try to downgrade to ZVB. The last OTA I received for the LS996 (Sprint) was LS996ZVC but I’m still on lollipop 5.1.1 and some of my favorite apps are not supported on that version. That is why I was looking to root my device but from what I can tell, it seems that I’m stuck with lollipop on my phone ?

I used EU version of flex 2 and it didn't have anti rollback, so I don't know much about the US versions. If you can't find the rooted img, then there probably isn't any ☹️

Sadly, all the google drive links for the needed files are not working. I almost want to try to use the method in the post you linked on ZVC Firmware but without the files, there is nothing I can try :(

So happy to finally have root! After debloating, adjusting thermal settings, and changing the governor settings, this phone is a different experience. Still gets warm, but I've been running this config for 24 hours and haven't had ANY lag yet. Thanks for your hard work!

My file is 3,5 GB on windows and 3,8 on Linux is that normal ?
[LG G Flex 2] justinswidebody:
No problem. I have 3 flex 2s so I will experiment. I might need you to pull each partition and upload it though if you could.
[LG G Flex 2] Tech_Savvy:
