[Q] Sprint Flex stuck on Fastboot. - LG G Flex

HI ALL,
I have successfully rooted my HTC and Samsung devices before but I am very new to LG phones.
I did root with ioroot22 (worked perfectly).
Then I attempted to install CWM with flashify app.
But in the process I flashed CWM incorrectly (I think)
When I boot phone I am just stuck in fastboot black screen.
Am I screwed? Seems like Sprint TOT or KDZ files are not available yet.
Anyone know what I can do to get phone working again. Any help is very much appreciated
Please note I can get into CWM when I press - & power but can't really do anything beyond that.

That just brings me into CWM.

So you are actually able to get into recovery and use it? What happens when you try to make a back up? Does it let you? I know these questions don't help you. I could probably upload the factory recovery and we can try to put it back on in fastboot mode

Seems you should be able to get your kdz file from LG.
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Repace xxx with your 15 digit imei.
resultant page has a url about half way down. Use that and it downloads your firmware from LG.
Haven't tried but you could maybe use this installer to reflash:

Yea that didnt work, i think i damaged my my OS.
To the other poster, mrphil101, putting my IMEI didnt work on that website. Dont think LG has publicly released the kdz file yet.
Regardless, i was able to bring life back into my phone with the help of a member name, wolfgart. He was able to somehow provide me both the .tot & .dll for my sprint variant.
If you guys need any help on LG phones, he is the man.

How were you able to get in touch with him? I think he is banned from trying to sale the tot files. I would gladly buy the tot file so that we could all have it

to bad...T-mo just released their phones too. Must be a sprint things. ISP's sure can hose things up with their firmwares, all that bloatware crap and untimely updates. I have been on nexus's for a long time; firmware and bootloader locks, I had forgotten how much of a pain they make it. But that said, this is the most satisfied I have been with a stock phone.

I have this same exact issue but with the att g flex. right after rooting my device i also tried the recovery and this black screen came on. i freaked out but after a few times it finally booted up. then i stopped messing with custom recovery. but the other day a software update came on my screen and it did not let me pick whether or not to update it just did it on its own. and said software rebooting. after that is was stuck on the same screen again.

You need to download the Fastboot Restore files from here and follow the directions for putting your /system back to stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255198
Make sure you get the right fastboot restore file for whichever update you're on. And if it seems like you're getting a bunch of errors in RSDLite when you try and fix your phone. Download the other fastboot files and try that one.
Good Luck.

Alrighty then. Well basically first, don't panic like I did. Second you want to search on google for the Ultimate unbrick for droid 3, it should be a rootzwiki website. Download that 480mb file, extract it via WinZip(or equivalent) GRAB PHONE and then you press m+power while the phone is off, and select AB fastboot, and connect to your computer via usb. Make sure the battery is above 50% (program wont run if its below 50). Run the program and wait for it to finish. DONE.

Attempted to install new InsertCoin [Fail]

It gets to the end but shows install error 7 at the end, booted anyways, now just bootloops to eternity. No recovery is accessible only fastboot now.
Tried to install 3 recoveries through fastboot all passed but none bootup, factory resetted through fastboot, no go still. Not in anyway meant to steer people away from the ROM, others are reporting it is working fine for them. I can't and a few others it seems. Phones aren't done for, just temp out for the count.
Will clean up the thread and make things prettier but need to get to work, hopefully this gets some attention. Thanks for any help guys, I won't be able to trouble shoot for about 10 hours or more depending on work things.
Were you able to restore your backup, or perhaps adb push a new rom ?
If not, what is your fastboot getvar all output?

I can't access recovery. Others have posted they can get into recovery and revert back. I cannot get it to boot and stay in recovery for more then a second. I installed the latest cwm recovery before flashing all was fine. Any link to sideloading. Will try when I get home tonight, on a backup phone right now at work.

As far as I know, there is NO way to fix what you've done. I had the exact same problem and exhausted all options trying to flash back to stock, flash the laf.img etcetera.

[Q] Root for VS980 on KitKat 4.4.2?

Is there a method to root the Verizon LG G2 (VS980) on the stock OTA Kit Kat 4.4.2 build yet?
I bought the phone used, already had the OTA on it...now I just need root.
Not interested in Rom'ing, just need tethering without the $30/month charge for the few times I use it and need root to do it.
Thanks!

ioroot25 should still work...
I'm considering a G2 also and have been wondering the same. From what I gathered you would have to go back to 4.2.2 first, gain root, and then flash back to 4.4.2. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

As far as that goes, how is installing the LG G2 unified drivers supposed to go? I found the download link for them in the main 200 page thread for this. Extracted the zip, but none of the .exe files do anything when run. Is that normal or is something wrong? For example I tried running InstallUSB64.exe but absolutely nothing happens.
Another more recent post on like page 185 of the thread had another download link, but that just leads to a file called "LG" with no extension and it doesn't appear to be a .zip

No you will need to root and then install custom recovery. Depending on what you are on. If you are on kitkat you can use autorec, and anything earlier you can use flashify.

I am not sure about the question but I know when you root this phone there is a trip where it will show in the lg menu that it is rooted. In order to get rid of that you will have to return to stock. Tell you though I have had this phone for a few months now and I am glad i finally decided to root and put custom recovery on. Its my phone and set up the way I want with root and all.

no problem. If you want a nice working asop rom check on Vanir 4.4.3
I'm having a hell of a time trying to get this thing to root. I followed all of the instructions for installing the LG device drivers and when I go to run the IOroot25 it flashes really quickly and then goes away. USB debugging is enabled and I have tried it in ethernet mode and charging mode. Both produce the same result. Do I need to remove any other drives I might have on my computer in order to get it to work? Any other ideas?

You need to be in Ethernet mode.
Once it boots into recovery, did you scroll down and select "install from adb"?

Yeah, I had everything setup correctly and it didn't work. Tried the same exact thing on another computer and it worked flawlessly. Thanks though!

Im having problems rooting it as well. I installed the latest drivers 1.14 I believe, and when trying to root it using ioroot25 it says downgrade to a previous version.
I do have it on Ethernet mode, and it reboots it into recovery, but that's it. I select apply update from adb but again, on ioroot it does nothing after the suggestion to downgrade.
any suggestions?
Make sure your phone is setup. Debugging mode is set. Unknown sources is set. Phone is on airplane mode. Plug into computer and start ioroot25 and follow steps

Guys just use towelroot to root. You install an app and push a button.

TWRP 2.7.1.0

Not my project but thought this might help people find it: TWRP 2.7.1.0 for KK Bootloaders by dhacker29
http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Dhacker29/msm8960/
Edit: To avoid confusion I changed the link to the one RikRong posted that will give you the M only version. File name: TWRP2710-RAZR_M-KITKAT.img.
Edit2: Looks like the links are down so here is a link to a post that @rahimali provided in this thread. Its for TWRP 2.8 and 2.7.1.0.

anyone else have a problem with this not recognizing the touch commands and just basically acting like its frozen? Nothing works I left it for awhile and came back to it and tried to open the slide lock and it doesn't do anything. The battery is fully charged so what I guess I have to do is wait for the thing to die so I can get out of recovery.
UPDATE: Still not working for me but I was able to shut it down by pressing the Power + Volumes Up and Down Keys

Yes I downloaded the correct one from RikRong and it was the one that says:
TWRP2710-RAZR_M-KITKAT.img
I redownloaded it and tried again but still no avail. Touch just refuses to work with this for me. So I'll just have to stick to 2630

That's strange, I haven't had that issue either. Maybe a bad DL? Try downloading and flashing again.
maybe a different means of flashing it too...

:: ditto ::
no luck with twrp so switched back to cwm. i also flashed the same way using fastboot
well I'll give the flashy a try and see but I think its more an issue with my phone. but I got time to play so we'll give it a shot.
Ok tried doing it with flashy and still the same result just no touch at all so I just give up with this and will stick with the one that works for me

Are you on the KK bootloader? I believe its a requirement. I used rashr to flash it myself.

Looking at my bootloader I do not think I am on the KK bootloader it gives me a date of 2013-09-25 I am assuming that is the original bootloader that it came with. Guess I'll do a search for the KK bootloader and see if I can get that flashed over.

To get the KK bootloader, I flashed the latest OTA through rsd lite. It should keep the boot loader unlocked but will remove root. If you plan on using a stock ROM, Q9Nap's GPE is very smooth and stable. Their thread gives links and instructions on how to flash OTA.
So the Frog has officially Croaked his Phone.
Yes you heard right I have managed to kill my phone. Only good thing is that I couldn't use it for much more than a mini wifi tablet so I didn't really loose anything.
I could not get Twrp 2710 to work was because I had the old boot loader So I decided to update the boot loader which I did but now the phone will not go out of the boot logo screen. I have successfully reinstalled my ROM and still will not go past the boot logo screen. I have tried fastbooting back to the old bootloader but no luck there either. I have spent about 2.5 hours this morning trying different things to get it to work and nothing I have found or came across will work. I have however successfully installed twrp 2710 and now have it working. Considering that is the only area of the phone That I can actually get into i guess thats something.
Some of the older Roms won't boot on the kk kernel they will not boot past the boot logo... When you upgraded did you flash the entire kk firmware via rsd? And it wouldn't boot past the boot logo...
