Yes they are the same. I think Boostmobile just named it something else
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] THORMUNZ:
I can try to port a recovery to it if someone can point me to the right direction
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Migue9088:
I don't think there any custom recovery yet
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] starkly_raving:
Hey guys,

I've rooted and unlocked the bootloader on the Metro PCS variant. I have also got in contact with a developer and provided him with the fstab, stock recovery, boot.img and build.prop...what's this mean? We will have a custom recovery very soon. :D:thumbup:

---------- Post added at 08:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 AM ----------

Also could someone who's rooted post the adapt folder/apk? I accidentally lost mine when I moved it to SD and when I unlocked the bootloader it wiped my storage. Thanks guys.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Migue9088:
Can you tell the person if he could make one for the tribute 5 please
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] starkly_raving:
Once we have the one for the K7 finished I'll submit the files for the Tribute 5 if some one can provide them.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ledzepman71:
When it was working, I made a backup of the system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, as well as a full backup in TWRP. So at least I have that going for me. The problem is, I can't get back into TWRP nor can I get my linux box to see the K7 to do fastboot or adb commands (although it does show up when I do lsusb). I guess my next question would be, is a kdz just a *.img file or something? I guess this will be my research project for today
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Goongydin:
So cant wait til there a kdz. Im stuck in a bootloop thanks to a faulty xposed install. Cant do anything but get to dl mode. Phone is only 2 weeks old :( Id be willing to make a donation for someones time providing a kdz just pm me.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] anaheimwhiteboy:
Same here as I am also willing to try anything to unbrick my k7
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonthenome:
Can yall force into dl mode? I had adb access in dl mode. As well as visibility with all lg dev tools.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] anaheimwhiteboy:
I can get into do mode but it's like my CPU won't recognize it my issue is the authentication error when booting
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ledzepman71:
In my case, yes I can get it in download mode/ firmware update mode. Even with a fastboot cable it won't let me do any fastboot or adb commands :/

(In windows) After I install the (I think it was the G3) drivers, the LG bridge setup tool does see it as LGK330TN (mine is the T-mo variant of the K7).

If we can't get a kdz, I'm hoping for a shorting trick like for the original kindle fire or something.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] alopez13:
I unlocked my bootloader then used kingroot snd installed xposed and my k7 been working great i even installed twrp beta and backed up every thing to my sd
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kw69747:
said you sent .img files to developer do you have a system.img? I'm bricked with no recovery and adb doesn't recognize the phone I have an unbrick method to try out that worked for an lg sttylo I had awhile back.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sonny1732:
What xposed zip did you use?

---------- Post added at 11:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 PM ----------

Does anyone know what system apps can be deleted without having problems afterwards?
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Goongydin:
Im not sure. I dont have a pc i was on a friends. I thought i had picked the right one. I was wrong.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] alopez13:
Its on playstore first download it its teriminal installer xposed.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sonny1732:
Do i have to use the xposed installer first then the terminal installer xposed because i did download the terminal installer xposed and it didnt do anything
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] goitalone:
I have the tribute 5 version and it did not work for me either
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BeLOWME1992:
Hey i did somw deep searching on the web seems like the Chinese already have the tot and kdz files for the US LG K7 from metro pcs maybe this can greatly improve the development for it here in the US and help all these people who have bricked phones or whatever we know how to access download mode and now we just need to get these files from them problem solved just saying here is that link bbs.gaodi.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=669834&mobile=2
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sonny1732:
I just dont want to brick this phone because i just got it and i had bricked my other phone a lg stylo boost mobile with error 1003
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BeLOWME1992:
Finally a kdz file

My bad i posted that link on my phone that is the mobile link here is the right link http://bbs.gaodi.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=669834 I will start working on getting the kdz from them and try it out if someone beats me to it then cool if not we should have the file soon because development of this phone is going to slow especially if they could get the kdz that fast lol we just need to get on the ball more and I am tired of waiting myself for fixes for this or that so damn it I will just do it my damn self people lol
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dbstrand24:
I have dumped the entire nand from my k7 if any devs want at it let me know its a bin file but uts FRP locked so need to hack a little before you can flash it back :D
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] alopez13:
Just install it and then reboot
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonthenome:
That gaodi forum has been up for a while. Im not sure if legit. I know of no one able to obtain the file yet
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] goitalone:
I successfully registered gaodi forum and found what was hidden were these words:

Please come back, we will update later...

So there still is no kdz
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonthenome:
Thats kinda what i figured. I translated the page. At some point he was asked to put it 5 lines above the header. So i went through the source code and saw nothing but ad links.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BeLOWME1992:
how about the TOT file?
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] goitalone:
There is nothing else.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sonny1732:
Can somebody tell me how to get xposed
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] goitalone:
I don't think this phone will be getting Android 6.0 due to the present release of the K8 which is basically the same phone design wise and will ship with Marshmallow.

Therefore, I am going to pick one up since it has the feature I wanted most, which is Marshmallows ability to extend the internal 8gb storage to an external sd.

Not only that, the specs have been bumped up a good bit.

Will probably be selling this one on eBay I guess.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] reemobeens19:
I'm interested, can you share it from a Google drive link?
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] JakobeSVT:
Rooted, debloated, twrp installed

T-Mobile K7: installed adb tools and drivers on my pc. Installed kingroot pc. Rooted successfully. Uninstalled kingrootsu and installed supersu in play store. Removed bloatware. ADB flashed twrp. Considering flashing Xposed, should I do it?
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sonny1732:
What apps did you delete
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kw69747:
I did the same dumb s***. How do you get to Okay Google settings to disable
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonthenome:
In the begining you have the options for accesability. Enable the touch assist, where it gives you the box of frequently. Used touch options. Enable then long press the home option. That should pull up ok google which you can use to get to settings and disable stuff. I can link you my gpapps pack which i installed using twrp if you want. Fixes the problem.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] leo98gomez:
Hey, have you uploaded the file? Sorry for bothering....
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kw69747:
I did this before twrp was available. The damn message keep popping up and i googled my issues and followed tutorial. I reset data google framework res, play services and all other hope apps like it said. Still didn't fix. So i factory reset and then got stuck in lg setup.

Now if i go to setting re-enable usb debug i can flash twrp and then Gapps. Yes send a link please! Cause i was using lucky patcher when it all started also
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonthenome:
Yup. No prob. If you get to apps disable store. Framework. Services. Basically any google app and the com service that goes with. Will stop messages eventually. Its a pain but its doable. Here is the gapps i used. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8...adByoApp?rid=75858']XDA-Developers mobile app
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kw69747:
I'm not working for me. when I Google "settings" it says no results found in phone I know I didn't delete the settings app it has settings because it goes to the Wi-Fi settings it goes the accessibility settings are all inside of the settings apk right? I managed to sign into chrome and tried to download settings apk but says will install shortly and nothing I tried to download settings APAC from third-party site and it downloaded but of course I can't pull the top screen down to install it LG and they're not giving up KDC files is really starting to tick me off

.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonthenome:
Did u say "open settings"?
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kw69747:
I did try open settings. I have a fresh k7. broke down and bought another. I have an unbrick method that worked awesome on ls770.http://xdaforums.com/lg-g-stylo/how-to/official-boost-lg-g-stylo-unbrick-guide-t3215198 but I need system.img. I can find tutorial on how to extract it from firmware but I can't find one on how to get it straight from the phone.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonthenome:
Im guessing you corrupted more than gapps. If it wont open settings. Someone posted a tot file on one of these forums. You can probably extract from that.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kw69747:
I been looking. Can you remember which one? I've asked on here, android forums and few others. I have a flash tool to do .tot files. All i get is "there no kdz for this model." I asked the members who post that they took system dumps to send to developers and asked for system.img they don't respond.

I need a system.img desperately as I'm working on my own unbrick method. I've searched every post and forum on xda. I've tried making my own ISO from someone's complete twrp backup posted earlier in this thread and then convert the ISO to IMG but it failed. I've also tried to extract it from the .tot someone posted but keep getting a very small file size (118 MB). If someone could please post the system IMG I would appreciate it alot thanks!

fastboot

No matter what i do i cant get fastboot to see my device. adb sees it no problem but it just says waiting for device in fastboot. I am sure its a simple fix but i am lost if someone can point me in the right direction that would be great. Thanks
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] leo98gomez:
I downloaded a tot file from another post, extracted it and I was at least a gig. Can't remember the exact size. But when I tried flashing it, I can't because I need a dll file that I don't have
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] vmdone:
Yea the tot file when extracted from the .rar comes out to nearly 2 gigs but when I tried extracting the .tot file to get all of the system partitions and build a system .img the system partition was very small like I said. As far as I know there is no .DLL yet and I haven't found a way around it

Why would you recommend that? Seem's like it just promotes dependence. All that needs to be done in these types of scenario's is usually just a quick reflash of the stock .pit file.

Right now im trying to dind ways to convert .tot to kdz or build .kdz from partitions. Atleast once we have an unbrick method and with the twrp we already have there may be more people willing to try and cook roms for this device especialy considering its free at metro when you port over

If you insist on trying supersu-me, find pro v.7.8. Only one that worked for me and I've had no trouble. It converted whatever the newest kingroot was about 45 days ago and again 3 weeks ago. I've been a root user for some time but am just truly descending the rabbit hole. I'm 95% mobile too. No laptop. Wish Rom Manager had a nice, easy custom recovery to flash but then I'd never learn anything. You developers and code writers are awesome. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and info. This k7 could be a great lil' phone. I'm no stanger to bricks(curiosity killed the kitteh) so I'll keep you informed of what not to do as well as any small victories.

Much thanx. Trash Panda is grateful. lg ms330

Fastboot and Device Connection/Driver Issue?

I'm having the exact same problem. I've spent longer than I'd like to admit on this beautiful day attempting to get my K7 fully recognized, trying on (3) Win7 64bit machines and even an old WinXP 32bit installation to get the process started. I've read through this entire thread several times over the past few days and followed every instruction given. For whatever reason, the best I'm able to get is for adb to validate the connection but I simply cannot get fastboot to acknowledge the connection. I get either a blank line or a "waiting for device"... I've done quite a bit of searching and reading but something must be escaping me. I started by installing drivers via the K7 connection and then proceeded a maddening uninstalling and installing of drivers, to no avail. I've tried every USB port front and back on 3 systems as well as different cables.

The situation seemed ridiculous enough to keep me going at it.. I didn't want to give up, but at this point I'm almost ready to brick and trash the phone myself. :eek: If any one might point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexandergrig:
Well, for anyone with the same problem, it finally ended up working. I can't tell you how, but after enough driver swapping all day, fastboot finally "saw" the connection. Can't believe these PC/LG/droid drivers are so flakey...

So I finally got the K7 rooted, replaced Kingroot with SuperSU (though I had to run the script twice, the second time it might have worked because Busybox was later installed?), and TWRP Beta 1 installed. My whole motivation for rooting in this case was to use Apps2SD to make for a little extra storage. Can't believe we are still dealing with these relatively small memory capacities on Android in 2016, even on more "budget" phones such as the K7. In any case, many thanks to all who have contributed to this thread and so graciously offered their time, experience, and information to assist in this process.

Mine was doing fine up until I used link2sd but I'm 99% sure I must have linked the wrong thing to SD. I'm also wondering if LG has implemented some kind of a "modification“ check. Which, if they did, is a really ****ty way to do business.

Got a question that might not be related. I don't own a PC and I've had this phone for less than 24 hours, I've managed to root it using king root. I never had to unlock a bootloader at all and i still have root even after a restart. Is there going to be any problem and do I only really need a recovery if im gonna be flashing roms and stuff? I only wanted root to use some rooted apps and delete bloatware anyway. So should I really be worried about anything?

Guys, if you want to unbrick your phone, these chinese guys are awesome!!!!!!

They UNBRICKED my phone through using TeamViewer, so have it installed and ready to go before/if you contact them and have your phone in download mode :p

The TOT file posted here in the forum was corrupt, DO NOT TRY USING IT!

Also, DO NOT USE KINGROOT as Gary told me!

Contact them for UNBRICK!!!!

There is no way in hell I'm gonna give some Chinese guy named Gary control over my computer and phone. The benefits, if any, do not out weigh the risks.

He did it for me for free...I told him I would pay him later but he said no problem and to forget about it......just told me not to post any of his files or software on any forums and for me uninstall all the lg stuff he installed and/or to reset my Windows 10 to get rid of it all. He hooked me up with the dump and a rebuilt tot/dz file and told me to keep it safe somewhere.

Hey man can you please post the tot/kdz and DLL file really need it

Hi can you please post the tot/kdz and DLL file. I'm a single dad with 2 kids and after bills there is really no extra money for 20$ for that file but would really like my phone fixed been looking for this for a while now and you are the only one I know who physically has the fine apart from this 20$ thing. I tried to borrow the money to get this but not really worked out for me. I am on a phone that just does not work as smooth as that one did and I'm using the one I was letting my kids use for Netflix. Anyways would really appreciate it if you could upload all the files needed somewhere and email then to me would be a huge blessing. Thanks. Brenttacina@gmail.com
