Hello all,
In the process of rooting the phone and flashing careless i managed to flash a H901 ROM on a H960 phone. After noticing the horrible mistake i tried to get back to H960 using several methods but to no avail. Here's a list of what i tried so far, followed by what i think i can try next.
1. Tried getting back to stock using this tutorial. LGUP detects my phone as H901 and won't let me flash H960 kdz saying "KDZ file is invalid".
2. Tried using a hex editor on the KDZ file to change any H960 to H901 thinking it might trick LGUP into thinking it is flashing the correct thing. Didn't work either.
3. Tried flashing KDZ file with LG Flash Tool but it says it can't connect to server and stops.
4. Tried updating it with LG Bridge but that also failed (can't remeber the exact error message, but it wasn't anything specific, just something ambiguous about not being able and how i can try to reconnect the phone)
Now, the good parts:
- i still have access to download mode
- have TWRP installed and working
What i think would work is to get a flashable H960A .zip file so that LGUP will see it as it is. Another idea i thought about is to ask any of you who is willing to help me out with a TWRP backup from a H960 model.
If you guys have any other ideas, i'm willing to follow your instructions.
Thank you for taking the time to read about my mess.
Same problem here, really hoping to get it fixed too
Hex editing will work. Can you ss on how you edit it?
@devcon69 Sure, here: https://imgur.com/a/m5dMg are 2 examples of versions i modified in hex(from H960 to H901) all instances of H960 i found were replaced.
Hi all, i finally managed to undo the damage by editing the hex data on a different KDZ file. Either the first time i tried was on a wrong file or i did it incorrectly. The file i edited now is THIS one. I will edit the post with the modified file for H901 in case anyone else needs it.
Thank you all for the help and attention offered
EDIT: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AurbfgIx--Amk0Q7_l6fX60b0T0Y
Hi.i get Error: Error Code= 0x81300302, MD5 checksum error when i try with u hex editored file. Maybe i have to try to download u file again and try ?
Sorry my foult. Its okay now
Could you enlighten us as to the steps you took that accidentally loaded a H901 firmware onto a H960A device?
Loading H901 firmware onto other V10 devices has been suggested as a potential method for unlocking the bootloader of other devices. This seems risky, but I'd very much like to hear reports of success/failure.
Did your H960A have an unlocked bootloader prior to accidentally installing the H901 firmware?
Hi
Can u make a simple tutorial to how we can change the model in the tot file and what app u use to install the firmware?
i have H961N (Dual SIM) and need to install rooted MM but my model still not rooted, just lollipop, so need to install H960a or any other model has a rooted MM.
Thanks in advance.
What you've typed worries me. There are 3 spots in the file that you modified and changing the third could well cause oddities. I would suggest you try running the command `adb shell getprop ro.lge.factoryversion`.
What is the output of that command? If it is a string that begins "LGH960" then my concern isn't an issue. If it is a string that begins "LGH901" then you've still got a problem.
For folks who wish to get this done by computer, try the "chkdzdev" tool from my LGEtools. This is simply a tool to modify the fields mentioned and should make it possible to accomplish this task without a binary editor.

Extract The .rar
Open The Setup File And Install LG Flashtool
Right Click On The Shortcut Created On Your Desktop And Open File Location.
Copy The .dll Files From The DLL Folder To The Previously Opened Location And Replace The .dll In Flash Tool Folder If Any.
Open The Flashtool,Select The .dll Then The .tot/.bin File And You Are Ready To Flash The Firmware,Connect The Phone In Download Mode When Asked.
Note :
I Don't Know Whether It Works For N4 Converted Devices.I Had Successfully Flashed Stock .20 .bin File With It.But I Suggest To Use This Only When LGNPST Does Not Work/Fails To Flash The FW As For Me.Please Don't Perform Unwanted Experiments With Your Device Or It Will Result In A Hard Brick.
This Guide Was Originally Created By madmack @ Optimus G Pro Section So Thanks To Him.
I was Searching For The .dll File For Our Device And Found It So Decided To Create A Thread.And Those Who Are Thinking That The Required .dll Is The Same That We Use For LGNPST,NO,This Is A Different .dll
It Did Not Ask For Unlock Code When I Flashed The Stock JB FW.But As Posted By madmack there is A Possibility That It Can Ask For Your Unlock Code.So Proceed With Caution.
Again This Is A Alternate To LGNPST And Only I Have Successfully Flashed The Stock FW.It Is Recommended That Unless It Is Tested By 4-5 Experienced Users,Its A No Go For Noobs/New Users.
And Be Advised That This Process Will Wipe Your Internal Storage.
Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing.
Edit: There are many more things to do in his (madmack) thread... Did u follow them all? Or for us we do not need all those steps? Let us know before someone bricks.. I use LGNPST but if anyone tries this.. at least they have a better understanding. thanks again for sharing.
just a heads up.. TeenyBin does not work in LG Flash. There are extra CRC checks which I haven't been able to bypass yet. This may change in the future.
also, not sure if this version of LG Flash is same as the newer one I use but I have to set the COM port to 40+ for LG flash to see my device.. altho maybe I'm missing something. I have to go into windows device manager and manually change the COM port used for the phone ( its in properties ).
LG Flash is no better or worse than LGNPST in my opinion. On the plus side.. there's no dll to register... and options are good

Download link is missing.
I've try to found the download link for the Lg Flash tool on this page, but i haven't. Can you fix it or explain? Thanks anyway.
Which .TOT and .DLL files will you be providing? I need the .DLL and .TOT file for, of course, the AT&T Optimus G E-970 US version! I flashed my wifes phone cause it boot looped and the .TOT used was SUPPOSED to be this file but it is the Korean FW. Now my wifes phone will not update via OTA because it changed her IMEI number. I need to get her phone back to stock 4.1.2 US VERSION!

Here is the file you need to get her phone back to STOCK U.S: http://downloads.codefi.re/g33k3r/LGE970AT-01-V20j-310-410-MAR-08-2013.zip I'm not sure on the DLL file, I use LGNPST so not sure if they are the same but attached it also just incase you can use it.. stock firmware file above is a .tot file so if you need to you can just change it to .bin if you need to.
Thank you blake but no. That is the fw file that turned her phone Korean. So may people are under the impression this is the stock US fw but it isn't. I even had another person here check their phone and his too in fact says "Lg Electronics Korea".

Where do you go check to see if its U.S or Korean?
All settings--> about phone -->phone Identity.
It's under settings-->about phone-->phone identity.
I had another person tell me that's normal because it's only the "manufacturer" info. Which im told this phone is manufactured in Korea. I don't know. All I do know is everyone is saying this is the stock fw for this phone but my wifes phone has changed. The start up screen is different and so is the shut down screen. Example, when her phone would shut down, she would get the AT&T logo and sound. After flashing this file she gets the blue circle and no sound. I do know that 4.1.2 is different depending on the region the phone is in. I don't know anything else that would explain this. Maybe this FW file WAS a different region but it was stripped out and converted somehow?

After a little checking I found out the same thing, It was normal as it was the place of manufacturer. I'm not sure what the problem might be but as far as I know that's the stock firmware for the phone.. You might try this one out http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22901594685177912 you just boot into recovery do the normal wipes and flash through recovery, its supposed to be stock except for being rooted and as far as I know those are the only two stock files floating around for the phone...
Thanks Blake. Can you confirm for me that this phone will NOT get OTA updates if it's changed in any way, including rooting? It's what I was told by someone else. If that's the case then I guess there really is nothing wrong with the phone except those weird unexplained small changes.
I've got all the correct files download and I made it so far as to try to actually flash the phone, but it fails and gives me a wrong model number message because it's detecting my phone as a E960 (it's an E970). Any ideas? I had installed the latest CM11 ROM over some encrypted data and now I'm locked out (old encryption PIN doesn't work) and I can't restore it to stock.
can someone help me with a .tot or .bin stock for lg l70 d320n? cuz i"ve looked for it everywhere but couldn"t find anything
need help bad.
i got this phone from a friend and it originally had cm11 on it. the phone in question is the lg e970. i wanted to get back to stock. so i downloaded the correct firmware and added it to my external sd card. using twrp before i proceeded to wipe the phone via twrp. when it was finished i restarted the phone into twrp and went to install the stock firmware and i could not find my exsd card. twrp does not recognize it at all. so now im stuck with a phone with no os on it. i can ge into twrp and download mode, and when i just boot the phone it goes to lg logo and stays there. i need help in trying to figure out how to get stock firmware back on phone. i am used to samsung phones and odin. so im a noob when it comes to lg. i am very tech savy when it comes to computers. plzzzzzz any help would be great!!!!!!!! and appreciated

Does anyone have any ideas?
Hello Verizon V10 Community,
I was able to locate the full KDZ file for the Verizon V10 software version 11B, the latest available for the VS990. I personally have the V10 and it's already on 11B but I have a friend who just received his V10 in the mail today and it had 10B on it so I plugged his into my computer and the Verizon Upgrade Assistant downloaded the 11B KDZ. I have saved it, uploaded it and am making it available anyone who may need it.
You can download it from Android File Host here in a RAR archive: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911975083
Alternatively, you can download it directly from LG's servers here: http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW25NOE3325BACQF4BA4K6T/VS99011B_04_ARB00.kdz
MD5 of KDZ file when downloaded from AFH (NOT the rar file): 7f971f72b81945ad1f06df56300b6bae
You will need to use LGUP to flash this KDZ, which you can download from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995297690. After you have installed LGUP, you will need to extract the 'common' folder from the LGUP rar archive and put it in: C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model. (See attached screenshot) This 'common' folder contains the DLL file that is needed for LGUP to recognize the Verizon variant of the V10. There are other downloads of LGUP in other forums here in XDA which contain other installers in addition to the LGUP installer. The other installers install DLL files for other variants of the V10 which are not needed for the Verizon variant. The DLL I've included in the 'common' folder is all you need for our Verizon variant.
Enjoy

And reserved again.
How big is the file size?

The KDZ by itself is 2.2 GB. I'll have the link ready later today as my FTP upload to AFH that I had running this morning failed and I have to start over. :-\
Thank you brother downloading now.

I've not yet tried flashing this KDZ but I'm going to assume we can use the LGFlashTool to flash this as the cool new LGUP program that has appeared recently in the G4 forums does not work with the V10. I tried it and the program won't even open when my V10 is attached to my computer. I'm guessing it needs a DLL file installed to work. If anyone knows where I can find one, please let me know.
I assure you this is not a fake. This is a genuine KDZ file downloaded directly from Verizon Upgrade Assistant. If anyone here decides to flash it, please let me know what program you used and the outcome of the process.

Same process I posted back in Jan about getting the .KDZ and the post to go along with it. I was unable to get the .KDZ file to flash to the phone. The version also had much userdata included in the file which is why I never released the file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=64828296
This thread claims to have the .KDZ file directly from the LG site.

I'm not sure what version I tried but I had many different versions of the software but didn't want to run into a bricked phone and didn't have much time to spend on trying and failing with personal things going on.
LGUP isn't recognizing the KDZ file. It sees the TOT however. Any way to fix this?
EDIT: Just had to choose the Update radial instead of Refurbish.
I believe upgrade is tot only and refurbish is kdz and tot. Or vice versa.
We just got our upgrade to marshmallow is going to be possible to obtain root for it?

Just going to throw this out there. No matter what KDZ file I download, I can't get passed the Google Account setup. There's data on that file that prevents the phone from going forward and constantly loops back to the beginning of entering the Google Account previously associated with the phone before the factory reset.

Lg v1o bootloop
Hi guys, I'm James and I live in mexico. I'm Argentinean. A month ago I bought the LG V10 and then use it normally, one day I restarted the phone all the time and now stays at the logo screen. I know it is operational, the software system. But I took my phone to a technician famous city where I live repair and told me not found support for the cellular putting on new software. You think you can help me? Please . If necessary I will do it myself. What I find something silly and illogical is that he has not found support for the LG V10. Sorry for my English if there are errors. Thank you.
This post works to solve my problem with the LG 10 VERIZON?
Lg v1o bootloop
This process solves my problem? I have a lg v10 vs990w and restarts all the time. It is software or hardware? I can fix it? please help!
Hello,
Today I tried to Root my V10 using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/general/root-h960a-tot-add-systemrooted-t3337706
and now it gets stuck while booting. Is there a way to reflash the Original Firmware? (and keep my files)
I tried the "update error Recovery"-Feature in LG Bridge but the download goes really slow and I don't know if it can help me at all.
I hope someone can help me here

Hi,
you should try to flash the appropriate KDZ file with LGUP. There is also the possibility to upgrade the phone and keep the data. You'll find the KDZ file and the link to LGUP (including description how to flash) in the first post of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/general/kdz-download-lollipop-kdz-10c-lg-servers-t3332348.
Make sure you select the correct KDZ file depending on the version of your phone (H960A for Europe or Middle East).
Hey guys. So my V10 H960A, as many others, bootlooped. Read the forums. Tried to use LGUP to put new firmware. But I'm getting errors.
Error: 0x2BC, Invalid command response code = 0x80000202.
Also I'm using Uppercut. But nothing is working. Do you know how it can be fixed?
Make sure you use right image, there is small difference in different version, only one worked for me

How can I be sure if I'm using the right one?
Found the right one. But even after successful flash, phone still keeps crashing. So I guess nothing I can do with it myself.
I got the same problem, but worse!! because I have the h960a but it isn't the european version, so I can't get the bootloader unlocked , I'm on nougat and I can't go back to lollipop! don't know what to do! I also would like to convert the kdz into tot to edit it but I don't know how. If someone can explain how to make a tot file, great!
I recently rooted my lg fortune 2 by installing the lg aristo 2 twrp file and magisk. This was my first rooted device so I was surprised at my success but being new at this it didn't take me long to attempt to use a module from magisk that encrypted my device. I hadn't flashed a no verify opt zip because i didn't know i needed to lol. So me being a novice i ended up wiping-deleting my os in twrp while trying to fix it. Since i bricked my device iv'e tried to install factory lg firmware using lg bridge,lg mobile support tool and the lg flash tool for flashing kdz files but they always fail at 5% installation with a contact your local admin screen when it fails. Is it possible to flash stock firmware for cricket devices or could i somehow turn a kdz file into a zip file i could install via twrp. I also haven't had any luck finding a tot file for my device either.
Fortune 2 help!
Hi,
My lg fortune 2 lm-x210cm10o is being a pain. If you wouldn't mind too much, I would like to know where you got your root method from. It's been two weeks of failed attempts and to be honest I was just about to throw the same thing out the window. I mean that literally. So, to prevent such a catastrophic tragedy, could use a little help.
Thanx if you can or cant,
Matthew
