Hi there
Is there any changes to roll back my firmware on this LG mini 620 mini i have?
After 4.4.2 update, it really screwed up my phone to the worse.
I already had it at service and got the same screwed up phone back. (crashed all the time, up to 6 - 8 times a day now)
Of course i i tried everything else, factory reset, installed fresh KDZ, and all kind of magical rooting tips with link2 sd and bla bla bla.
Nothing helps.
Phone crashing, and keeps on crashing
All this when it got the the 4.4.2 update in august/september i think. Before that, the phone was a joy.
I talked to LG, they "send it in, wait 2 months, and we check it for you"
2 month without a phone.. no way.
So now i want to roll back, how? I know, not without a root..ok i can root it, no problem
Where? Where do i find a earlier KDZ verion of the firmware????
?

ok, so a month or two ago I rooted my Motorola Atrix so I could install Gingerblur which went well at first. It was working great for me and then I noticed that once and a while i would look at my hone and see an exclamation point and an android icon..I would have to pop the batter out and put it back in to restart...what I think happened is that my phone tried installing an automatic update which failed maybe due to my hacked phone not being compatible...bc after awhile I would notice my phone installing an update and then automatically rebooting to the error screen.
I tried installing GreyBlur the other day..and it didn't work well..so I flashed back to 1.5.6..but now I don't know how to upgrade to 1.8.3..when I scan for a system update it says that my phone is up to date..how can I update to the latest firmware and how come my phone isn't automatically installing it? Have I lost my opportunity to do this since to all the hacking I've done to my phone? or am I missing something? please help =(
Have you tried downloading it from the Motorola website? You should be able to just follow the directions on there to update it.

I used the "second method" and just let the Moto installer do it's thing. It will take some time and look like it may be freezing occasionally, but just let it go. It should work.
Hope this helps.

I'm updating right now through the second method. I'm surprised I didn't find that sooner..I should of just went to the website to begin with..but I searched google and couldn't find any information on how to download it without going through an automated update.
I was also wondering if I should do a factory reset after updating
I have my s4(remanufactured with no verizon branding) as my backup phone that i have not toched in months, did a full factory reset to prepare to update it to lollipop and all was well. Phone kept saying "update not available" so i looked up somd possible solutions and tried another reset. I was rooted but upon the reset finishing my custom unlock was gone and my phone said it was official software. So the ota failed again repeatedly so i figured i would try it with kies.
Kies or kies 3 both say phone is incompatible. Tried uninstall/reinstall of drivers, no go. Uninstall/reinstall of kies, no go. Phone is still unknown. Tried Verizon repair, gets stuck at 83% for over an hour. Tried it again, 83%. Tried to do verizon update, 83%. So i figure ok, lets do odin and flash stock 4.4.2 kitkat under download, stops almost instantly in odin. I try 4.3, mk2, all kinds of other official roms, will not go.
I figured for the hell of it let's try the full stock lollipop with the pit file (was using it the whole time) and that actually makes it to the 83%. Its been about 6 months since i have even touched this phone, the only memory i have of what i did is that a while ago i wanted kitkat with root so i downgraded to nc5 then reupgraded with kitkat to keep root on it. Something like that anyways. Am i missing something? I must be right?
Also, it says sw rev fused : 7 binary : 6 if that helps anything. Been looking for a few days, no one seems to have had the numbers in the error I am having.
Thanks guys, i hope i gave enough info. I appreciate the help.
Make sure you are flashing the image for the version of the software you are currently on, or that it was on before all of this.
Ive got a brand new phone I wanted to get rid of the bloatware from my carrier. So I rooted it via kingroot, installed Titanium Backup and went to town. Then an OTA update came in and I accepted it, it seems that the phone battery died during the update installation.
Now I get a "no command" message with the android on its back. All the googling Ive done points me to do a hard factory reset via recovery, which I do but I still keep getting the same message.
Is there some software specifically for LGs that I could unbrick it with? I own several Nexus devices and a OnePlus and wugfresh toolkit has helped tons.
To add to the problem, I cant find much about it. Its a Mexican model called LG Zone or X180g. From the Googling ive done, Ive come to the conclusion that is called LG Ray in other markets.
I really appreciate your help

You can try to see if they have it. I don't think there is anywhere free to get the firmware. But yea, that was a big pair of screw ups between taking the OTA after rooting and having removed system apps as well as letting it die while trying to update. That's bad on any type of device. Since it is a MTK device, you'll have to use a version of the Flash Tool as it is different than most LGs, which use Snapdragon processors.
So I posted the following on a few other places
(please expand)
I am in desperate need of help . Yesterday, I woke up and went on my phone and it was acting strange. It was saying that apps that I wasn't using had stopped working or something like that, which was pretty weird, so I decided to restart it. However, when I tried to turn it on again, it got to the carrier screen (I have AT&T) it didn't do anything after. It just stayed on that screen and vibrated in a pattern. I was able to hold home + power + volume down to restart it, and I was able to get to the recovery options screen. I tried clearing the cache and all the data, but no luck. I tried flashing the stock firmware but I couldn't find anything new enough. I had rooted my phone about 5 days earlier, but it had worked perfectly fine up until yesterday. I tried everything I could think of and find online. I recently called AT&T up and they're sending me a new phone, but I have to send my phone to them, and I feel almost certain that they'll find that I've been messing with it. Whether it's the giant lock with the word "Custom" above it, or something in the files. I have 10 days to send it in to them and I need a way to either fix my phone, or wipe ALL of my phone's data before then, but I feel like completely wiping everything might void the warranty as well. I'm not even sure that the root caused the problem.
I do have friends who have the same phone as me, would it be possible to somehow get the most recent firmware off of one of their phones and get it on to mine? I have the G930A and I couldn't find firmware recent enough for my device. I have read A LOT about this issue in the past day and I vaguely remember something about being able to get someone at Best Buy or some other store to flash the most recent firmware onto the phone? Is something like that possible?
Please help, I can't afford the $600+ if it doesn't pass. Any and all ideas are welcomed. Thanks .
After reading some stuff here, I have found out that I can somehow make a backup of the stock firmware. I wouldn't actually be using my phone to make the backup since I don't actually have the stock firmware. I wouldn't be using my phone to make the backup, I have friends with the same phone and carrier. All I need is direction on how to do it. I have a Galaxy S7 (not the bomb edition) and my carrier is AT&T, although I'm not sure that's needed.
first do a factory reset then flash latest stock firmware from sammobile

sammobile.com doesn't have G930A which I need. I've been finding it from other places but none of them have worked so far.
I waited to write here, if the March 2020 patches solved the problem, but unfortunately it is not...
several nokia comunity users have the same problem and nokia is not responding about It.
having Nokia 8.1, I gave Nokia 7.1 to my girlfriend last year ... great smartphone, the Android 10 update work very well, but the February 2020 patch was a disaster!
Probably it didn't install well, and then the phone asked for a factory restart.
the problem is that the Factory reset did not come back to a pre-February patch state, but always brings it to the point of "restarting the phone to finish installing the February patch".
and immediately the restart is requested, which can be postponed, but not indefinitely, so after fifteen days the smartphone restarts by itself, and freezes again asking for a factory reset!
in an endless loop!
I think I have to do a system flash to bring the phone back to a previous stable state, right?
Can you help me on the procedure to follow?
I have never unlocked the bootloader and all the rest
thank you guys
My friend has the same issue.
well you have two solutions here
1) Pause your updates so your phone never installs them
2)Get your phone flashed with the stock firmware , and if you want get it unlocked.
I have spent about 2 months trying to fix the issue but in the end I got the phone flashed which fixed the problem.
The issue comes due to your phone not being able to verify the selected partitions for boot which is why it asks you to reset.
thanks for the answer!
the guarantee is still active,
I think I will send it to nokia assistance, as soon as next week I will be able to see my girlfriend (for the emergency covid19 I haven't seen her for 60 days, but next week there is the unlock down).
meanwhile I took for her a Nokia 4.2 to be used as a replacement.
I hope Nokia's lab assistance will flash the system quickly and better than what I could do
