I exhausted everything by this point so im relying on this forum.
If anyone knows a way to install custom recovery on this phone or just some info in general would be appreciated..
Here's more detailed specs:
LG K8 (K350n)
SoC MediaTek MT6735
CPU Quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53
GPU Mali-T720

I don't have a solution for you, but I can tell you what I've tried (I have the K350N also) and what doesn't work, for me anyway, so that you don't have to waste a week trying them yourself and get extremely frustrated like I did.
You need a scatter file, so that tools for MTK chips can copy your phone's boot and recovery images. One for the MT6735 exists but is not for the K8 and won't work. Supposedly you can create your own by using block info given by MTK Droid Tools, and manually editing the scatter file, but even the latest version (2.5.3d) does not support the MT6735 and does not give the info needed.
SP Flash Tool needs correct address info (which is gotten from a scatter file), it doesn't seem to take it from your phone. Without it, you'd not be able to pull the correct parts which make up your boot.img and recovery.img, so it's useless without the exact scatter file for your phone (whether it's the same SoC or not).
If you can get Miracle Box to stay connected to your phone, you can try its "Read" function. That didn't work for me, even after dozens and dozens of tries and messing about with different drivers.
Your best bet is probably to try using ADB to get the block/address/size info of the internal partitions, and editing that into a scatter file. Also, apparently the K8 uses a "standard Android" header, not MTK header like older MediaTek chipsets do. (Not quite sure what it means, but knowing so will probably be useful).
That's what I plan to try anyways, and if I manage to do it, I'll post again.

Well i spend best part of this morning trying to a different aproach , i managed to find a ROM file (in kdz format, whitch woulve been useless for mtk tools anyway) whitch i extracted for a Recovery.img and tried to port the various recovieries with no awail for now. From what i've seen the filesystem inside the rom is a mess some of the files have the MTK headers others have the android ones and I'm trying to make this work entirely by trial and error.. If I'll manage to boot into the recovery I'll let you know. Wish me luck
Ok I managed to make a port from K10 that actually boots to recovery. I'll post updates as I work on it (all trial and error~)
Maybe you will get more luck than me. SuperSu fails to install somethign about failing to decompress ramdisk
Here is the Recovery : https://www.mediafire.com/?xopqenbvgrswgxm
I booted into it using fastboot boot xxx.img command from adb
As I am complete noob when it comes to android modding I'm surprised what I achieved thus far

i flash the image you give, and it cant mount system, so it cant flash supersu, the lg k10 have the same problem that this recovery (it might be for the port), so we have to wait a super su version for lg k10 and k8 and a functional TWRP

did u managed to unlock your bootloader? From the strategy of rooting HTC, LG also need a bootloader unlock before you having some privilege in flashing recovery... or rooting...

That was step 1 you have to go to fastboot form adb and unlock it from there
I've got the k8 us375 model today and its running 6.0 with an update waiting to install. I'm sure it won't matter much but I'm going to avoid updating anytime soon.
With little research into the device I'm reading people trying kingroot and getting stuck with a semi brick and error. From what I've read about marshmallow is the root needs to be accepted from the boot.img which also needs to be insecure.
So unlocking the bootloader is first.
Second is modifying the kernel and
Then recovery needs to be made so that superSu can be flashed.
I'm no expert but neither am i a newbie to this process, however I'm a little rusty. If anyone knows a better way to describe the processes needed please enlighten me. I'll be away from my PC till this weekend but have a laptop i can tinker with tonight. Until i completely understand what needs to be done I'll continue to do research. Thanks

I've been trying to root my k8 (k350n) - european version the last few weeks... so far i got:
(here i try to post a url i can't yet... you can find my topic on chinaphonearena - i describe everything there - search "lg k8 k350n twrp" on google - it will be the second result)
the twrp boots but i'm afraid it's not a perfect port so it migth not handling the partitions well... i mean when i try to install supersu i think it cannot find the boot.img (it seems to find but can't patch it).
The newest supersu supposed to patch the boot.img automatically so i believe the only thing we should manage to get a working twrp...
if you want to try i have to warn you that sometimes when i mess with the twrp i have to make a hard reset the get my phone working again. When you boot to the twrp it asks if you want to make your system writeable - you don't have to do that in order to install supersu - however if you allow twrp to make your system writeable you might lose data (i only lost data if i did a format in the twrp but only writeability doesnt clear data in my case...)
edit1:
so i found that supersu can only patch boot images compress by "gzip". The boot im. of our k8 is compress using "lz4" method. I also realized that my twrp works so far as the supersu tries to decompress the boot image... so
We either wait till supersu deals with lz4 or if we could somehow take (dump to pc) the boot image in fastboot "re"compress to gzip - flash back to the device - restart twrp (not boot to android yet - which obviously would not work), install supersu - restart to fastboot take the boot image "re"compress to lz4 and flash the patched boot.img back to the device.
well it's just an idea which actually stucks at dumping the image without root and who knows what other reasons...
or if we knew what tweaks needs to be done to the boot image and we could just make it on pc and flash it in fastboot (i have the stock boot image - i have the whole firmware actually)...
Any advice would be appriciated
Here we go guys...

I was in the process of removing kingroot and installing supersu when my phone decided to reboot and now will not boot past the very first screen no matter how long I let it sit. I tried factory resetting it but that didn't change anything. I've searched high and low for firmware but have come up empty. Does anyone have stock firmware for the Alcatel Streak? Thanks.

I had exactly the same problem. Alcatel Streak (40600) would not boot after I did KingRoot and superSu replacement.

I understand your dilemma. My stock ROM and firmware are installable via TWRP, which I have ported over from the Alcatel IDEAL (4060a). Flashing a firmware to this device without using a custom recovery is problematic to say the least. QFIL/QPST does not seem to work, and true to their typical protocol, TCL seems to have disabled fastboot mode on the 4060o. I will research this matter some more to see if I can help. There are reports of forcing the device into a hard brick by corrupting the /sbl1 bootloader partition. As such, Qualcomm's EDL (9008) mode is enabled which will allow for an emergency firmware installation per firehose protocol via QPST. But again, I'll try and research this more. Also, if you don't mind, could you share the firmware you have please? It sounds like you have an official package which I have not been able to locate. My ROM and firmware are both self compiled. Thank you.

stock cricket Rom mm 6.0.1
@Viva La Android
...now let me tell you how this started to give you more info....I rooted with kingroot installed twrp for the 4060a with flashify and directly installed magisk 18 with twrp...somewhere in there i deleted king root...everything worked great..made a full back up through twrp..I had titanium backup installed deleated all the bloat and started on magisk mods..installed xposed as well...flashed viper4...well I got greedy and started trying to dirty flash pixie4 roms to get a higher os like oreo...fail fail fail...I had read in the forum not to tick fix permissions in TWRP but i did it anyway...never ending bootloop after that...i side loaded a custom rom for the 4060a ....hard brick...i guess thats when i was EDL mode because of the wrong bootloader...i tried to flash the cricket rom with qset\qfil and it would not work...then i flashed the stock 4060a and it worked...wouldn't boot past the splash screen...kinda weird though because the splash screen was split in half and reversed with a gap in the middle....ill figure out a way to screen shot later....but i was able to hook back into the pc and I have adb but unauthorized because the OS got factory wiped so no usb debugging...I do have fastboot access now...which is strange but since my oem unlock is not ticked in the OS every boot img recovery img or system img i try to flash acts all good then fail in fastboot....my realization is that I wiped my modem somewhere in there and it replaced it with a downgrade which forced the EDL mode...well I flashed wrong with the 4060a firmware so Im stuck is all I can figure...I cant get adb shell access either haven't tried
shell with ubuntu/python maybe i can get shell access to force feed super user and tick oem unlock for the bootloader...other than that Im stumped...Maybe DD commands and a good dump file to see where I stand...and as far as my TWRP backup goes..I got careless and deleated it when I formated my PC to remove all the crap Ive picked up trying to fix this mess off the MTK and GSM sites...
My main objective right now is to get my adb key authorized there has to be a way

Yeah I agree totally. If there was a way to enable the OEM Unlocking option from a shell environment, you would likely have total control of the device via fastboot protocol. Like you, I concur that there has to be a way. You have me perplexed enough to dig in and help find an answer. I have a working device and a bricked device, so I am free to experiment around on my brick using QFIL/QPST. I am impressed that you have been able to access fastboot. This is more progress than most people make, so congrats there. Nice work.
By the way @KtownJeff, if you need any partition dumps from my device, for example, /sbl1, /aboot, /rpm, /tz, etc., just let me know. Just a thought, but if you could push my /persist partition image to your device (my OEM Unlocking is enabled), I think your OEM Unlocking would tick enabled. I recall a Moto device where OEM Unlocking was enabled in a similar manner. @KtownJeff, if possible, please share a download link of the official firmware package to which you referred. I will be glad to share my self compiled firmware package and stock ROM. Thank you friend.

I actually stumbled on the fastboot accidentally!!...After I flashed the Stock 4060A firmware with the split up splash image I checked my driver to see if I was in qloader 9008 mode still and I saw the holy grail "Android Bootloader"...The phone screen didnt have anything showing on it like any moto mfastboot mode or like a samsung when hooked up to odin...just the frozen "half splash" Alcatel Logo..I had minimal adb/fastboot installed...I switched to the Android platform tools latest version and had better results...I had a lot of failures when it come down to recovery partition and system partition...I had some successes tho...Fastboot erase works but I dont know if thats standard and the OS reinstalls what I erased because of the lock..prob so just like no superuser access in ADB...I tried to re flash TWRP for like three days and gave up...I forgot to mention I have no stock recovery access.......Yes please I need a full phone dump of whatever you got... all the better..I might try shorting my board to get back to EDL so I can try flash the cricket 6.0.1 again...but I don't want to lose my fastboot access either....the 6040O aboot partion does not have fastboot... The Stock crickit 4060O rom link was posted earlier...I'm in the process of uploading to MEGA as we speak so here in a few I will post all my stuff for this phone...And please share yours as well...

There was one here on XDA. It was a TWRP flashable Android 5.1.1 stock ROM I believe. The OP of the ROM is no longer on XDA and it appears that the download links are dead. I'll try to find you a copy of the ROM though.

Oh thank you very much. I was in need of the 4060o official firmware package. I'm in debt to you. Thanks for all the extras as well! Nice. I will upload my stock partition dump of my 4060o and get that posted ASAP. Have you tried using an insecure boot image for ADB superuser (ADBD) access? If you want I can set my stock boot image insecure with ADBD and upload that as well.
I'm found a copy of a stock 5.1.1 ROM for the 4060a that is TWRP flashable. I'm uploading it to Mega File now. I'll post the link when completed. I fixed the installer on this ROM and rewrote the Edify script.
4060a Stock ROM
TWRP Flashable Zip
Android 5.1.1 Lollipop
Build No. M5RUAR4
Root: SuperSU v2.82-SR5
Link: https://mega.nz/#!VEVUwaxB!sCsdYXPE-_ytsqKnXRJHhFLVLnn3jxCDY8bG7FP89nM
@KV2_URSS, if you have TWRP installed, this may unbrick your device.
Update: I dissected that ROM and discovered some syntax errors in the Edify script. I've rewritten the installer and fixed some bugs with the updater-script. I also just tested the ROM on my own 4060a and confirmed that it does work. I'll post the updated link to replace the other link in a few minutes.

Did you download from the updated link? The ROM from the old link was bootlooping my 4060a also. I fixed the installer script and when I tried it again it worked. On the new one, I added my username to the installer script and removed the original dev's name. Is this the one you tried? Also, did you do a full wipe before installing?

Ok. My guess is your boot chain may be corrupt. I'll write you an installer to try and fix it. I'm fixing some things on the 4060o ROM, so I'll write you an installer for your 4060a when I get ready to upload the other ROM. In the installer, I'll place some of the bootloader partitions from the firmware package to be installed on your device.

Ok friend. I'll expedite and get that done now. To clarify, you want a full partition dump of my 4060o, correct?
The partition dump files and MM stock ROM for 4060o are uploading now. @KtownJeff, I don't have the best signal tonight in terms of fast upload/download data speed, but the ROM and files you need are uploading and links will be posted here ASAP. For informational purposes, my partition dump is taken from a stock Android 6.0.1 Alcatel STREAK, Build No. A45UC50, Build Date: June 24, 2016; Security Patch Level June 1, 2016, Kernel Version: 3.10.49, and Baseband Version: MSM8909.12110.15W46. My ROM has been built from this firmware version as well.
Update: Link will be posted within the hour.
Hi. I just purchased the new flex 11 from BB NS-P11A100. It appears to have the exact same processor, chip, and GPU as another tablet I have used before. The Lenovo Tab3 8. The only difference I can see is the emmc size (Lenovo 16Gb & Insignia 32Gb respectively) and the screen sizes. The processor is the same however limited to 1Ghz on the Lenovo whereas I believe the 1.3Ghz is the base CPU speed (I think the European version of the Lenovo came with a 1.3Ghz speed). So out of curiosity would the finished Lenovo's TWRP recovery work on the Insignia? Just a thought. Also, in case of brick could you use the Lenovo's firmware to flash it (after modding the scatter file of course). I'm just a noob to development but have no problem getting my hands dirty (I have 2 Lenovo's both broken but modified heavily) It's good to see another tablet with the 64bit processor setup. Makes it so the 1Gb of RAM don't look so bad. Thanks in advance for any info provided.
i'm guessing this hasn't peaked interest yet? i just got this bad boy root would be awesome
So did any of you who have this tablet figure anything out?
I was walking down the street with my tablet and accidentally stumbled into fastboot. Stay tuned

Ya I was able to unlock the bootloader using the Fastboot Oem Unlock comand. I just havent gotten up the courage to try the twrp recovery I have that I used for my Lenovo. Seeing as i also cannot find a download to get the stock firmware or flash file to fix it if I encounter any bricks... If someone can rewrite the twrp for the lenovo tab3 8 to use the insignia's model number it should work seeing as they both use the same board and chipset. Any ideas from anyone?

Anyone know how to get this thing in download mode? As soon as i get a boot.img i can build us twrp
Any progress on this yet?
any progress, this tablet makes me want to just blow it up. any ideas on rooting it?
Ok. I apologize for not being too active on this... Before when I tried to boot to the twrp recovery that belonged to the Lenovo Tab 4 8 (fastboot boot recovery twrp.img) it would always tell me there was no file by that name. The same thing happened to me when I attempted a different twrp than what was for my new Lenovo Tab 4 10. I found out that the bootloader simply does not allow the ability to boot to twrp. I got balsy and attempted to flash my new Lenovo (fastboot flash recovery tewp.img) instead of trying to boot to it. It worked. However would not boot to recovery but back to fastboot, and when I attempted a regular boot to the OS it replaced the bad twrp with the stock recovery. Tried maybe 5 diff twrp recoveries and it always fixed it. I haven't tried this with the insignia flexx 11 yet and I still have it up and going strong on stock. Maybey it will work and we can have twrp and root on the insignia. BTW. Has anyone seen or found a stock firmware for this device yet? Twrp would be cake it I can get a stock boot and recovery from it.
Alguien puede decirme si es posible hacer algo con las licencias estas?modificarla para root?o solo es una simple info?

I have a temporary solution till I find a better way magisk 7.1 and MTK easy root I'm going to assume you have android nugat like mine and it has mtk processor like mine. Anyway you can find both of those downloads here on this site under apps if not let me know
First install mtk easy root then install magisk go back to easy root and install the app or manager what ever it prompts you to do then go to magisk it will prompt you for extra set up then reboot and go to mtk easy root click the boot button on the bottom of the screen after root success go to magisk and set it up poof you have root it takes a minute for mtk to root on its own so I hit the button instead of waiting but it
works till i can really root it

If you want to put that thing in download mode it power and volume down then you need a phone handy to translate the Chinese think it's the 3rd one down but I forgot I just use mtk fast root and majisk it works great on mine!
I am looking for a twrp for this tho any suggestions would be awesome!

I finally found stock firmware
If I insert an SD card, I'm given a dialog box asking to confirm the switch between storage location from internal RAM to SD card, opening up all sorts of access. It gives me a full screen dialog that seems to bypass all of its walled in protections. With a Chrome apk on the SD card I can install it, run it, and download anything.

Power and volume down
I suspect i have foolishly tried to root my Alcatel A2 xl, as I''ve never done it before and it looks unconventional, and it's now stuck in boot loop. I can hold volume up and power and get to select boot mode, but recovery freezes the screen and selecting normal triggers the boot loop. Fastboot works still.
It was all working fine, I'd set up adb and a couple drivers, then followed some guide here to install Clockwork Recovery by flashing it via adb. I did that, and can't do anything sense - i read somewhere else i should have wiped data first, could this have been it?
Any help on how to recover enormously appreciated. At this point i've tried the official Alcatel tool to reset a stock rom and it can't detect the phone correctly, and that's it. I dont want to go trying to flash another recovery or custom ROM on yet as im uncertain what went wrong.
Also just want to say thanks in advance, and thanks for the whole site, it's the only reliable looking place i could find for android advice , i mean im sure you know that.

Hi there,
I am not sure if this will work or not as ALCATEL is famous for making cheap smartphones however the number of ROMS out there are slim, I was wondering do you have the stock rom with you and are you able to connect your phone to your computer and can ADB detect it.
If your still able to boot into recovery you can uninstall root by wiping its memory completely.
And if your phone is able to get recognised by ADB I suggest you to reinstall the whole ROM
I have found a website which might help you to get the ROM
https://www.needrom.com/category/alcatel/
Hey thanks thanks. I can't boot into recovery frustratingly, but it can be recognised by adb.
I dont have a stock rom though so thanks for website - can you point me to the right ROM? There doesn't seem to be anything specific to the A2 XL model, but it has a MT8321 processor so does that mean any ROM for that would work? NEEDROM /tablet_captiva_pad_10_3g_plus_mt8321/
or the A2 XL also seems to have exactly the same processor as the Pixi 4, and both come with the 8050D tag-on which i have no idea what means. So would that be a better shout? NEEDROM /rom-stock-pixi-4-7-alcatel-9003a-telcel/

Hi there,
sorry i was wrong, i didn't knew you were using an mtk processor
since its mtk you need to use sp flash tool
and it doesnt have the same processor as i searched the tag "8050D" it came up as a Snapdragon processor
However you can download SP-FLASH TOOL and look up the another alcatel phone matching the same description

Okay right i read all abot the SP FLASH TOOL but was unable to generate a scatter so 'd tried other options. There's a dl for a scatter for the Pixi 8050D which has the same MTK8321 processor so im going to try the tool with that and hope. Thanks for advice man

I have one also id like to root
I also have this phone. Almost cobbled together a twrp but just need the correct recovery-kernel & offset file to repack it. As it stands right now the twrp build will boot loop, but I know all the other pieces are solid ( correct resolution set, correct prop.default, fstab files, .rc files and so on) unfortunately so flash tools is useless until we can get a custom DA file that works with the Tetra. This whole process has been quite a pain lol but I'm close. If I can get it figured out I'll make a thread here upload all relevant files
Update: I'm currently using a few different RATs to pull any and all files possible while also trying to see what exploits (if any) I may be able to leverage with them. currently still lacking the recovery.fstab, but all other files needed for the ramdisk folder section of the recovery.img is set (put together the prop.default from scratch as I can't pull it from the phone). Still need all files outside of the ramdisk folder though (mostly just a proper recovery-kernel and offset, think I may be able to substitute the other files from a similar Alcatel MT6739 phone, the 3x/5058, which I have a stock firmware for). I also have the source code for the 4.4.95+ kernel that's on the Tetra, digging through it to see if I can use anything from it. If anyone has any thoughts about what could be done with all this stuff I have please feel free to share, as I could use some fresh eyes on this.

#1. There is no publicly available fw for this device as of this moment to patch with Magisk.
#2. Sp flash tool cannot currently readback or download to this phone, as the necessary DA file is unavailable. That means no way to get the boot.img or recovery.img to make magisk root/port TWRP

I know for a fact One Click Root has no support, and Magisk is unreliable in my experience. I think I may have a way to apply a root patch, but obviously I need the patch first. I believe I can exploit the "apply update from sd card" function but haven't really tested it.

There is currently no adb exploit to gain root that works on this device. Trust me, I've tried. There is not an easy fix for this phone. The only options I see, is for someone who has access to the most recent NCK box, or Miracle thunder MT2 ( which added support for the mt6739 chip set) to dump the firmware and share It with the public, or for the Download Assistant file for this phone to be released, at which point SP flashtools can be used to dump the firmware, at which point a custom TWRP can be ported, root can be gained, and bob's your uncle. I've spent the last month going over every possible way to crack this phone open, and aside from finding/developing an as of yet unknown exploit, the only options available require a firmware dump (which currently can only be made with the 2 aforementioned box tools). I've been using every method I can think of to get a functioning TWRP without the stock recovery, with no luck yet. Ive taken every possible amount of info and files accessable from the phone using adb shells, mtk based tools, and RATs. I've got ahold of pretty much all publicly available firmwares and TWRPs for other Mt6739 phones that are already cracked, to see if I could take the files/Info and modify them to fill in the gaps and get a functional TWRP. Hasn't worked yet and while I've narrowed the reasons why down, those reasons seem to be hard blocks that could only be overcome through root access/access to the Tetras specific firmware. Which as you see is a catch 22 where you would need root to get root. I've even tried to get ahold of an ota update directly from AT&Ts cdn to try and exploit. I have the dl address but am not sure how to use it, as trying to connect to it from phone browser or PC just returns as forbidden. I'm honestly a little burnt out with it at the moment and am gonna go mess with some other phones I have and come back to this later when/if hopefully some new resources become available.

+1 on the no easy solutions. In theory, there is a utility built in to flash an update from an sd card from fastboot menu, or if you have an activity launcher.... exploitable, maybe?
Also, you must remember that those people are just people like you and me, with more experience. Since this phone was released September of this year, it may be awhile. So we may be on our own since the Tetra is a lower end device. I got a system dump, which I know can be used ro make firmware, but am not sure how to do so

Only way to use stock sideload would require you to sign the zip with the manufacturer private keys. I did pull some keys & certs from the phone but never got a chance to see if they were the proper ones.
And pls upload your system dump
Dont use this, see next post
Last post was the wrong file.
Here you'll find:
*DA file
*Auth file
*Preloader
*.mbn
*.sca
All specific for the 5041c, direct from Alcatel

The primary code I used was

adb pull /data
I may have used other code; I don't remember. It's been awhile.
Also, so my friends will stop asking, will you post how to root/flash recovery with what you provided? It'll be easier to link to the post then explain it 500 times, since I end up their IT guy a lot. Thanks in advance
Take the Da file, auth file, and scatter file provided and load them in the latest version of SP Flash Tool, use the readback function to dump the recovery img. If memory serves me correctly, mmcblk0p18 is the location for it. (use the scatter file to locate the begining address and the length for it). Once you have the stock recovery img, manually port twrp to it using carliv image kitchen. Then fastboot to flash twrp. If you did it right then you can boot into twrp and flash supersu or magisk for root. Make sure to boot directly into recovery after flashing, because the recovery gets replaced by stock after a normal boot

I have access to a library pc, but youre not allowed to install anything. No adb or sp flash tool. Though i do have a theory about using stock recovery...
Probably wont work, but hey. YOLO. Still waiting for my ssd to be in stock
Well here's the stock ROM. Cut SP flash Tool and all its hassles out and use this. Just extract the recovery.img and port twrp, or extract boot.img and patch with magisk. Am gonna do this when I get home, I have a beater laptop I can use but no internet there, so I'll post my work the next time I can come to town and get cell service.

This zip contains the magisk patched boot.img, happy rooting!
Looking to start a discussion on rooting the unlocked version.
I have tried the root for other variants for this phone and does not work
hi would love to see my k8+ rooted. i have the lmx210ulma version mtk and android 7.1.2.
There are recoveries for this phone and i have a full partition dump i nade today using salt on my ubuntu 18.04 machine. when i say full i mean something like 30-50 .img files pulled.
Any way. The problem on my end is booting into fastboot mode or rebooting to the bootloader. i have tried ADB, recovery and key combinations with out ever getting there. I can however get the phone to download into recovery download mode just fine.
any help would be appreciated

We are now in this forum. Why some dork mod moves these too early?
Why here, why not to the K8 forums instead?
The link I posted should work with your device...
Just got told to go to the k8 forums because im really just trying to get the bootloader unlocked. Temp root is nice but my plans involve a recovery and a fully rooted phone. Im trhing to develop a way to compile apps and operating systems completely on the device but i need full access.
Im looking for firmware for LG K8 2018 X210ULMG. Where can i find it ?
go to google and type in "LG K8 + LMX210ULM stock rom" you will get at least five pages or more.

I can't fin anywhere for X210ULMG. Try and when you will find paste here link because anywhere is this rom.
which android version do y0u have 9n your k8. I also need you to go to settings system software info and tell me the software versiion. And just for SandG no seriously, open up a terminal in terminal emulator and type getprop. im looking fir the value of
ro.lge.swversion_arb
to be of further assistance may i ask what exactly you are using it for? ie reflash stock fix brick or other. i can help you with the best plan of action and any other how to.
If you are still out there the ULMG and ULM are the same device. There is no ULMG stock rom. So you will need to flash your K8+ using the ULM firmware. If you are looking to roll back to get to the bootloader the lowest version you can find is a letter F version. None so far have an ARB value so happy flashing.
I myself own this device and its an easily rootable phone with bootloader unlock. Just flash the kdz with the lowest letter value then adb reboot bootloader and then in fastboot mode use fastboot oem unlock and your free to flash any cv1 device twrp recovery.img to the phone.
Just make sure to use either carliv image kitchen or android image studio to check and make sure that system, syatem.img, are both ext4 in recovery.fstab. System.img will probably be labled emmc which will cause failure to mount. Also cache and data as well. Firmware/modem should be labled as vfat. Just as if they were labled if you looked at original fstab.
To root just extract boot.img from kdz and patch using magisk and flash using fastboot flash boot boit.img then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img When booting into twrp first time flash no verity opt encrypt and make backup. Upon exiting make sure all parts are mounted or twrp loop will occur.

If you are still out there the ULMG and ULM are the same device. There is no ULMG stock rom. So you will need to flash your K8+ using the ULM firmware.

I have problem because one month ago I flashed My K8 ULMG with kdz for Aristo 2 . I downloaded the software from Aristo 2 and made Brick through it.
Now it doesn't turn on, gives no sign of life, nothing. When connected to a laptop, the computer can only see Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
Do you know solution for it ?
There are two versions of the k8+ a qualcomm version and an mtk version. Did you read my post after your last reply. I was trying to help you determine that sort 0f thing.
As for a fix.... no as of currently there is no fix for either the qc or mtk versions once bricked. i am working on possible solutions but those are not going to be any time soon.
Your best bet at this point is to look for a used and damaged phone and replace the board in your phone with a different board. Find a k8+ lm-x210ulm or an aristo 2 board. They are cheap around $20 us and can be found with broken screens. They have no arb values so can be flashed and downgraded to get the boot loader unlocked and reflashed and upgraded after with guidance.
Dont feel to bad it happens. I have 4 boards that are trash but im still gonna try to unbrick them. But please what ever you do dont do it with out guidance. pm if you need and ill help.
