Afraid of kdz updater , here is an alternative to flash rom and recovery
Note: Donot use this method from emergency mode unless you already have a backup of your nv
Note: using this prodcedure there should be no disconnection of phone or power cut.
Using this method you can flash "stock rom + custom recovery" or "stock rom + stock recovery"
DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK, I WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE !!!
download lgmdp : Download Here
1. disable lg modem
( in right click mycomputer->manage->device manager->modems->right click on lg modem disable it)
2. now connect your phone to pc.
3. start lgdmp
4. click "select port"
Phone will be automatically detected press "connect"
(close the pop up window of image select generally you will get it on connect of lgmdp)
5. backup nv for safety (tools->nv backup)
6. After backup , store this nv file somewhere in computer (and remember where you stored lol..)
7. close lgmdp
Now download stockrom+customrecovery
Download v10e ROM(unrooted)(2.2.2) with cwm recovery: Download Here_v10e
(or)
Download v20c ROM(unrooted)(2.3.3) with cwm recovery: Download Here_v20c
Step 1. Extract (use "extract here" for a noob)the downloaded file stockrom+customrecovery
(be sure you have extracted without error in zip extraction and you have all 13 files in extracted folder)
To flash stock rom + custom recovery skip step 2 and follow from step 3 to step 7.
To flash stock rom + stock recovery follow from step 2 to step 7 (including step 3).
Now the extracted folder has stock rom + custom recovery.
Step 2:
2. (a) Download stock_recovery for v10e: Download Here_recovery_v10e
(or) Download stock_recovery for v20c: Download Here_recovery_v20c
(make sure you downloaded correct recovery according to Rom you downloaded)
2. (b) extract the downloaded zip file -> you get recovery.img (this is stock recovery)
2. (c) Now copy this recovery.img file and paste in folder of "stockrom+customrecovery" (which you extracted previously in Step 1) {as their is already a recover.img file in folder it will be copy and replace "for noobs", in this step you replace custom recovery with stock recovery}
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 3: start lgdmp
Step 4. click "select port"
Phone will be automatically detected press "connect"
Step 5. select the extracted folder "stockrom+custom recovery" as "image folder or image select" in lgmdp
Step 6. Select "Erase EFS APPS" in drop down box of "NVBackup/Restore"
(Caution : donot select other options they might stuck your phone in air plane mode with no gsm )
Step 7. press start or download
DONOT DISCONNECT YOUR MOBILE UNTILL IT SHOWS DOWNLOAD COMPLETE AT BOTTOM
it shows in middle trying to connect to phone etc. donot touch the phone it will be automatically connect everytime.
After download complete you are done with procedure.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to flash any other stock rom (kdz) file from lgmdp (Check this url)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note : Creating nv with different imei is illegal.
For people who messed up with nv, lost their nv follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534704 to create nv.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NV will be automatically restored at the end before you see download complete.
If any error occured while restore of nv
follow below steps to restore nv
put the nv file which you backed up in first part of procedure in this order*
create new folder
- rename folder: <your_imei_(on_which_nv2_is_created)>
- create new folder in <your_imei_(on_which_nv2_is_created)>
named <port no.> on which your phone is connected
(ex:for com4 name folder as " _COM_4_" (without quotes), you can find
port number when you click on "select port" when connecting mobile to
lgmdp under port column.)
- now place nv2 file in this folder <port no.>
- so now u r nv2 file is in
" \<your_imei_(on_which_nv2_is_created)>\<port no.>\ "
- now place lgmdp.exe and <your_imei_(on_which_nv2_is_created)> in
new folder
- start lgmdp
- "select port"
- "connect"
- press "NV Restore"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank yoooou!
I cannot express my thanks to you enough. I have been trying to fix my phone for 9 hours now, and every fix I tried didn't work at all. Then I come around to this post thinking "What have I got to lose?" and this is the ONLY fix that WORKED! I still have a thing here or there to figure out for my phone, but I have most functionality back!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Dear Mak,
I did everything as stated (step 1 and 3). Everything went smoothly and after i saw the message "download completed" I quit the lgdmp and switched on my phone. the problem is that it is stuck at the "android screen" and does not do anything else. its just continously showing the flashing android logo. Please help! Thanks in advance!

Donot worry your phone is not bricked, It takes time for first boot sometimes may be around 10 min or so.
Which recovery wer u using ?
custom (skiped step 2) or stock (followed step 2) ?,
if you flashed custom recovery boot into recovery (long press {home+volume down+power} buttons simultaneously) and do "wipe data/factory reset" then "reboot system" ?
Do you have stored that nv file mentioned in first part of procedure ?
If stuck at logo screen, remove battery and start as mak said, (long press {home+volume down+power} buttons .
Worked for me !
My question now is... can i safely update to 2.3.3 romania firmware through the official LG mobile update tool ?
Thanks

Thanks alot, it's just like it was
I owe you a beer mate
Thanks a lot Mak! Your advice worked and phone is now booting. Howver, theres a small catch though. My phone was locked to orange and I thought it would be unlocked after doing sotck rom+custom recovery. I did follow all the steps for step 1 and step 3, but now when Im inserting other sim, it still shows that the phone is network locked. Can you suggest me what to do now? I just want to unlock it and dont know what to do.
Thanks once again, you are a hero!

Sorry No idea how to unlock phones, because here in my location most phones provided by lg or any other brand are unlocked from factory itself, so never been in such situation.
Why dont you Post your query in a new thread in general section , may be you will get some help.

Let me save you some time: you won't find such information here. Not because it's forbidden or illegal, but simply because it can't be done at software level.
What you need is to find an online service that unlocks your phone via some code they will provide based on your IMEI. There's no way you will find such service for free - if you do, please drop me a message with a link - but at least it will be a hell of a lot cheaper than asking your provider to do it.
Thanks Mak, I had to pay £10 to get the unlock code for my phone. Its working like a charm! Thank you all! You guys are saviours!

Just replace the recovery.img file, and keep the partition.mbn as it is and flash by same steps as mentioned in this thread.
Is the v10e provided for download an Indian froyo version
Bit Confused....
I think u have made a mistake in labelling the section. At the bottom, where you have titled "To back up nv follow below steps". Isn't that part suppose to be the restoring part? And the top part is the backup part. Am I right or am I just confused?

I'm having an LG phone for the first time. Other androids i had (mostly samsung and sony) i was able to unlock quite easy finding online tutorials but with this one i'm stuck cause i don't seem to be able to find any help on google or here on xda.
Any info would be very appreciated

Hi
I am having some issues with my Xperia Z2 D6502. I am new to rooting, so please bear with me.
I rooted my device following these instructions. All things went smoothly. However next day I started having problems to boot into recovery mode. I have explained my problem here. I tried reinstalling Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.7.154-BETA.installer which I got from the above instructions. It installed successfully but still I couldnt boot into recovery mode. The phone even stopped detecting my SD card, I had to reinsert it each time I would reboot to make it work.
So I followed all the instructions from the scratch again except for the last one which involved flashing pre rooted 5.1.1 stock ROM(flashable_D6502_23.4.A.0.546.zip). I wanted to keep rooted kitkat 4.4.2(I initially,i ..e., before rooting, had 5.1.1 but according to the instructions I had to downgrade it to kitkat) which I obtained as a result of downgrading my Xperia Z2 from 5.1.1.
Now I am facing wifi problems with kitkat. I can connect to the network but internet works extremely slow while it works absolutely fine on other devices. I dont have access to the router as its a common router in my dorm. I tried several solutions which I found on internet involving changing DNS to 8.8.8.8 and changing IP settings to static. None of them had any effect. Is there anything else I could do to resolve this issue?
The main reason I want to keep kikat is that I want to install Xposed on my device for imei changer and android id changer, and I read somewhere that for installing Xposed on kitkat you dont need to flash any zips and just install it like any other app. I didnt flash it on lollipop because of the warnings about getting stuck in bootloop in sony devices and I wasnt sure of how to flash it as the instructions were not very detailed and I am new to it. So do we flash it the same way I flashed 5.1.1 rom, i.e., booting into recovery mode and then selecting install and then selecting the zip I want to install?
I got this link to working modules on sony devices but I cant find imei changer in the list. So even if I installed Xposed, with your help of course, will I be unable to use imei and android id changer?
I read in several places that I should backup my device so that I can restore to the previous state in case I soft brick it or enter a bootloop. What kind of backup is this and how do I take it?(I googled and found Backup TA to take backup but I am not sure if that is the type of backup I am looking for and the instructions in the page are not detailed enough for me as I cant risk my device.)
I have one request, please provide me with detailed steps as I am doing all of it for the first time and am extremely nervous of screwing up my device as it is my only phone and quite expensive too.
Well, my device is rooted, on 5.1.1, and Xposed Works very well, without bootloops, and all Modules that I tried worked very well, by your description I can't figure out what is causing your problems...

I havent tried Xposed on my device yet. Have you tried imei changer and android id changer? If not can you confirm if it works?
Can you please provide me with detailed step on how to install Xposed?
If my device goes into bootloop, will I be able to flash it using stock ROM?
And can you please provide answers regarding taking backup?

If you got a boot loop, you can:
1: Force power off the device by holding volume+ and power button simultaneously, then, you will able to flash via flashtool a new ROM
2: if you have a custom recovery, you can follow the same method to power off, then, power on and access the recovery, where you will be able to flash a zip containing a new system, etc.

Well, again, using a custom recovery you can make a Backup, the interface is very intuitive and easy to understand.

Do we make custom recovery using the backup option we get when we boot into recovery menu?
And how to enter recovery menu without booting into the system? I access it using NDR utils app.
And do I need to flash any recovery zip from the recovery menu if I want to keep it?

If you have Dual recovery, you are already running a custom recovery.
to enter the recovery menu whitout boot the system, you should:
Power On the device, and at the FIRST SONY screen, when the LED flashes, press volume up to enter TWRP

Volume down for TWRP, volume up goes to the other one, CWM I think? I've never looked!
@berbatov93 you need a bit more patience and to read more things. Forums are awesome because you can get help from people all over the world but it rarely happens in real time.

The DRM keys are unlikely to affect your warranty claim but they do other things including allowing your device to get OTA upgrades.
To unlock your bootloader you have to get an unlock code from Sony, to do that you give them your device details. So if you send it back for warranty and they look it up, I have no idea if they do, they'll see that you have unlocked your bootloader. Or at least got the code to do so, I doubt anyone gets the code without planing on using it.
Those DRM keys play a role in the Sony image processing for both the camera and the Bravia Engine. That is what you lose by unlocking the bootloader, warranty is not the major factor.
Hey
I had the same problem.
So what I did to solve this?
I did a factory reset > flash again flashable_D6502_23.4.A.0.546.zip > wipe dalvik >
And the problem was fixed.
Good luck
Hi folks,
I followed this tutorial and managed to unlock bootloader and install TWRP.
But on startup, stock rom was asking to enter a code (30 try allowed in "secure startup") which I didn't set in the first place, each reboot costing two try.
So, with no way to use my phone with this OS, I got into TWRP and try Factory reset --> not working (TWRP cannot mount partition).
I tried "Wipe DATA" (not advanced) --> not working (back to "secure startup").
After each reboot booting to secure startup, TWRP was replace automaticaly with stock recovery and I had to reflash it.
Then, I made the mistake to wipe (advanced) system, cache, dalvik and data... realising afterwards that I had no custom rom zip to flash to replace stock rom...
Now I'm stuck with TWRP (seems to work...), a unlocked bootloader with annoying "unlocked" messages and... 2 KDZ firmware files (EU-SP and EU-GB) I don't know what to do with.
I also have a flashable image of the stock recovery, but don't know what to do when it's on.
Plz, someone could help ?
Any other option than to wait for LineageOS to support my phone ?

Ah, you have kdz file? You can search lg flash tool to flash that kdz
Or you can use recovery option in "LG Bridge", there's a recovery option somewhere on the botttom right of the software.

Hi again ! Thx for your answer.
I had try to use LGUP with EU-ES KDZ file and didn't work because of the "REFURBISH" setting checked.
FYI : Uppercut is awsome beacause it allows LGUP to recognize my phone on the go, but it triggered 2 of my antivirus... false positive, I hope !
I change to select "UPGRADE" and it did work and this time tried the EU-GB KDZ.
Android is starting... and I'm relieved. I'll post an update for success or if anthing occurs.
Thx once more.
So, it's confirmed : it worked.
Back to stock ROM. I'll try to reinstall TWRP and to Root later.
Hope my adventure iwll help someone else.
I went through the same torture in my quest, but I did not tell you guys about it in my instructions in the thread you referred to. If I had done so, I would have likely confused and scared off many of the first-timers. What you need is to follow to the point my instructions, than nothing bad will happen. Nevertheless if you fall again into that same horrible state, you just do LDUP upgrade and start a new.

I'm not yet allowed to post in the dev section, because I'm new to this forum but I think this tutorial, despite being real handy and precise, lacks of three informations :
a warning and explanations on the "30 try secure start problem"
juste a little more details on the LGUP part : just add to set the type of flash to "upgrade"
warn people about waiting for a complete boot, even for fastboot and recovery : I come from Samsung and there was no messages on startup nor needed to wait that long before accessing to fastboot or recovery. I believed a few times that it hadn't worked just because it didn't boot straight to recovery.
My main concern was about that goddam code code coming out from nowhere, 30 try before what? If anyone now more, I think I would not be the only one to be glad to know...
Last request : plz give me some "thx points" so that I could join you guys in the dev part... I'm no beginner to those things ?
Qual sua versão do modelo?
840 internacional? Europeia? Latina?
Is there a dll file for h840? Thank you

Boot to download mode using power+ vol up and use lg bridge to restore the phone then reflash twrp.
I can reboot to twrp. I want to restore my backup but in twrp "No partitions selected for restore". I try to clean install my previous rom from https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/rom-debloated-stock-rom-11m-t3740564 but it bootloop again ;/

You can't use 7.0 ROMs, unless you flash back the bootloader as I guess there is a new one came with 8.0
As for TWRP, I did not try it yet, but if you wan't to go back you need to flash an older 7.0 .kdz
Well it crossed my mind, that this can be bootloader fault :/ If it is possible I can flash 8.0 kdz but Im scared. LG Up only upgrade existing system to new one, but my system is corrupted now. When I made this I lost TWRP and gonna be in real deep s***
i successfully went to oreo then back to nougat with LG UP without any problems. i am suing the COMMON dll, not the uppercut trick.
i suggest you to select REFURBISH in LG UP and flash again
I PM you
Correct me if im wrong:
I download dll from: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/lgup-oreo-dll-file-v30-t3779441
-Create folder called "common" and unzip the .dll file inside of it.
-press vol up + power and boot into download mode
-Connect the phone to your PC
-Launch LGUP.exe
-Select process called "REFURBISH"
Select the firmware file (oreo or nougat?)
Click Start and pray
Ok everything goes great with steps above So if someone have bootlop problem like me, feel free to use LGUP
