Need help with editing a kdz file for LGUP - LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have posted about my problem in several threads now, but I didn't get an answer yet, so I hope I can finally save my phone with your help here... It's been a major pain the cojones for two weeks already.
In short, here is what happened:
I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and after flashing superSU (once I found out how to get into TWRP), I got a bootloop.
So I wanted to do a full wipe. But I messed up and wiped literally everything, even the OS
Then I went on to look for a stock ROM zip file. I found one, but I didn't read the whole article which said it was for H901. I installed it and found out it's branded T-mobile version on top of all.
Now I'm trying to get back to a H960A stock ROM, but no luck so far.
I have tried both methods from the LG V10 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ & TOT Method thread
Then there was a shed of hope when I stumbled upon this thread, where the OP managed to do the same
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/help/flashed-h901-h960-comrade-to-help-t3429025
I downloaded the modified Switzerland file mentioned in one of the comments, but it didn't do through for me.
I also tried to run the chkdzdev tool to change my EU version KDZ file, but agian, I got the same error (possibly I didn't do it right, since there is no manual whatsoever and the author doesn't reply)
Here is a screenshot of how it went:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So now, my only hope is to:
a) find a zip with H960A stock ROM (probably none exists on the interwebz)
b) find a TWRP backup that I can "revert" to (not sure if this would work, but if anyone would be so kind, I could find out...)
c) find someone who can modify the KDZ file and tell me how to do it
Anyone?

Any news?
Or anyone has any idea how do I fix this?

Anyone has any idea where to turn for help with this issue? If not on xda, where can I look for a solution?

Try this. There is some instructions here that might be different from what you've been trying.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/general/guide-lg-v10-stock-firmware-to-stock-t3224170
It's saying after you load the firmware into LGUp, you have to close it and then open it again, select refurbish, and then make sure bin file is checked. Hopefully this can get you going. Good luck.

I've tried this one... it wouldn't even let me load the kdz file without doing this...
Problem is, the firmware version is coded somewhere deep in the file and it won't let me install it on a device that has a different version (unfortunately mine was overwritten by the stupid stock ROM i've managed to install)

[Q] please,how to unroot my GT-p7510?

I know how to root my device by odin,first recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.tar.md5,then Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip.
So,my question is how to unroot my p7510 so that it act as a new one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089
Thank you for your advice.
in fact,i had read that aritcle carefully:
“UNROOTING & RESTORING STOCK RECOVERY
1. Using CWM Flash the stock rom for your device. This unroots your device and basically makes it like a brand new tablet.
2. Use Odin to flash the stock recovery from the filesfordummies.zip.
3. Done, your device is exactly how it was when you picked it up. ”
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but i still don't know what CWM is,and is it just an app?
and in the step 2,i don't know where to get filesfordummies.zip.
I want to unroot my tab also. I followed the instroctions and I downloaded a stock rom from Samfirmware.com. How I can flash it with Clockworkmod?

Can someone help me? How can I flash the stock rom with CWM?
i used the instructions in the post that is referenced to unroot. then i had numerous force close. sammy phone support suggested factory reset. i did that and it took me back to out of the box. it then did the minor update to UEKG4, but it won't recognize the TW update. They are wanting me to send it in, but I know it is something with software and I should be able to fix it.
No signs of SU, can't figure out why it won't recognize TW update. Thinking about going back to CWM Recovery to see if there are some advanced options that could help.
Hey ANthesca, I'm having the same problem. It looks like the custom stock rom we went back to is the I/O version, and that version never got the touchwiz update. This is my guess as to why we can't update to touchwiz, I'm pulling my hair out trying to find the official USA Stock rom for my tablet

Hey Mass Zero, I downloaded both those files but the tab isn't able to install them via Clockword recovery, I get errors. Am I doing something wrong?

[How To] Recover from a soft brick GS2

Hi, I was trying to root my device with insecure kernel, and then my device hangs on galaxy i9100 boot screen,
so, I've tried to restore my stock kernel, but it didn't help...
finally I've tried to flash the jpkg2 stock rom from intratec thread, also the same...
i tried this

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and my phone stoped at this
and with fully falied odion tests...
now I can enter the download mode.
but recovery mode is not working
Note: there was no Kies when I did this, after that I tried all the things before with kies installed, and with samsung_usb_driver, and still got no success.
Note: Odion recognize my device, download mode is fine.
any help would be apprecciated.
Quite clearly not a "How To", and what was wrong with your other thread?
plz help i9100 dead.
im trying here to make it more clearly
I did't find any help in my last thread, so I tried to be more specific here.
Taken from Intratech's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
........................
3. Start Odin
4. Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar file that you extracted in step 1
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin
5. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
Anyone ask about .pit file is a moron
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First thing I notice when looking at your screenshot is that you have ticked re-partition.
Second thing I notice is that you have tried to flash a PIT file.
Maybe that's where you are going wrong??
I found this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18961761&postcount=9
this man was unable to flash his device " Odion Fail"
so one of the suggestions was to use another computer, and yeh!! it works for him.

What was wrong with the replies? You didn't find a magic fix to your problem, which in all honesty, was just you being stupid putting the wrong files into the Odin boxes. If you want a magic fix, send your phone to Samsung and pay for the fix they do.
If you want a normal fix, listen to the replies given in the other thread. Don't start spamming new topics everywhere with the same question just because you don't like the answer. Remember, you killed your phone and others are actually trying to help you fix it....

Need Help: Updating To AsiaRetail ICS from Asiaretail GB rom

Hello Guys,
I am not sure if it is allowed to make a new thread for noob questions.
Well, I just got my new Razr Maxx, It is on 65.1.40.XT910.AsiaRetail.en.03 rom.
Rooted and everything. I was trying to update with the 673.94.324.XT910.AsiaRetail.en.03 rom, given in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757766
As I am running the AsiaRetail rom, direct update through stock recovery should have worked, but it is giving me this error:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
Is there any way I can solve this?
Thanks a ton in advance.
Any help will be appreciated.
I may be wrong on this,
But I believe that with the leaked OTA updates, you must have your phone unrooted and attempt to flash it using the stock moto recovery, not CWM.
Hopefully this helps....I am far off being an expert, but that would be my first point of call.

I tried it yesterday. Didn't work. I also tried resetting to factory settings and do the OTA. Didn't work either. But thanks anyway.
I don't know what's the problem. Considering I am on Asiaretail ... same rom for GB ... it should have been possible.
Any experts? or any one who faced the same thing?
I think you have to unroot the device and then flash the ics via recovery. I may be wrong though. I am in the same situation right now and have been reading on this for a little while. I haven't tried yet since i know Motorola's brick easily.

I had the exact same problem. Tore my hair out. I did this -
Flashed the fastboot files via RSD lite that was there in the AsiaRetail ICS OTA thread.
BUT
That flash is a PSHAsiaRetail version.
Go to the PSHAsiaRetail thread. Download that and update using that. Went through without a hitch. I was getting really frustrated when using all the files from the AsiaRetail thread, I was getting the same error, till I booted my new fastboot flashed ROM and saw that it was PSHAsiaRetail.
I might be wrong - but this is what worked for me. I must also mention, that my APN was not loading up automatically and I had to input it manually.
I have since then, flashed the EU ICS fastboot and thats working pretty snazzy for now!
Hey greyanaroth ... thanks a ton!! ...
I appreciate it!!
This really worked ...
I don't know why!! .. But it worked!!
Thanks for your help to get me ICS!!
No worries! Glad I could help.
BTW - for some reason, this build gave me a few problems - mobile network not working straight off the bat, for one - had to configure an APN for my network manually.
Unless you're attached to the Asia build (no reason for you to, as far as I've been able to deduce), might I reccomend flashing the EU ICS fastboot - it's running a lot better for me for some reason!

This **** sucks! No one seems to have a solid, 100% way of restoring the device. I've bene researching and troubleshooting for 2 days now, I've got nothing. There's no Download Mode, Recovery Mode only shows up occasionally, Flash Lg tool failed probably because I can't get into the actual Download Mode. If you find something Please let me know because I'm desperate!
Sorry I know I might be very late to reply but..
I followed these steps: (Stock LP, unrooted)
Disconnect the phone. Press and hold volume down. While holding down the button, connect it to PC. Keep holding the button till LED starts flashing
How did you fix your issue?
Hi guys,
Has anyone managed to fix their issue? I'm getting pretty much an identical error. I tried booting in safe mode but there was no such option...just factory reset. Hoping for this to be a last resort if possible.
Can anybody help?
Many thanks

Starting from Scratch - Moto E4 Plus Owens

Hi all! I hope this is the right spot to post this. I'm looking to install a custom ROM onto my Moto E4 Plus (Owens XT1775), but I'm running into issues.
- Tried updating to a new version of TWRP, now it's saying I need a password to decrypt, and none of the tools I'm finding are helping
- Tried replacing TWRP with an older version, same issue happened
- Tried going back to a stock recovery but can't find any
- I really just want to a custom ROM on this thing >.>
Can someone point me in the right direction on figuring out my TWRP issues, even if it means starting all the way over? I've had TWRP and Magisk on here for more years than I care to count, so I don't even remember the version it was using. If anyone has recommendations on custom ROMs that would work on this device too, that's much appreciated.

Alright, so I found a guide that said factory reset from TWRP would help but now I can't boot into the OS at all, it keeps bringing me back to TWRP. I'm assuming I need a factory image to fix that but no luck finding one yet.
I have a file in my computer named OWENS_RETAIL_7.1.1_NPR26.58-25_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml. It's 1.3GB . Is that the stock rom that you are looking for?
I am looking for a guide to install custom rom into my Moto e4plus so I can install new versions of apps. Is that what you are doing? If so do you mind give me a few pointers once you are successful?
There are a lot of posts on here but I am confused as to which one to follow. My phone is rooted and is on service with Verizon and I don't want to lose either.
Thank you much!

I'd super appreciate the file! I'm not sure if it's exactly what I'm looking for but it wouldn't hurt to try. I'm having a hard time finding support for this specific model of device, but I know there are some unofficial ROMs that are floating around for the owens/1775 model.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rescue-and-smart-assistant-lmsa-motorola-lenovo-only.3951714/ This may have just saved my bacon, at least on the stock ROM part
Alright, so we're back to full stock, except now I cannot get my computer to recognize the device in fastboot... any ideas?

This is your problem. You put adb instead of fastboot *facepalm*
