Quick Note, I'm not taking credit for these guides, I'm basically putting them in one thread :good:
Now this is of course assuming you're already rooted with TowelRoot, have LG Device Drivers installed and have adb installed, (I recommend @shinobisoft's adb/fastboot zip package if you dont want to install the whole sdk) Link to it---> http://d-h.st/WqR
Now to use it just extract it to your desktop and in the folder Hold Shift + Right click and open a command prompt, and there you go a mini adb package
Alrighty so lets get started!
Entering Fastboot Thanks to @LaDY Vengeance
The LG L90 does have fastboot, but it's hiding "behind" LG Download mode.
Once again, this assumes you've already rooted manually or with Towelroot and know what adb/fastboot is.
First, backup your LG Download mode (laf) with this code, so you can use LG Flash if necessary.
(Backup will be saved as laf.img on your internal SD Card)
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf of=/sdcard/laf.img.
Now run the following code to zero out laf:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf
adb reboot
For whatever reason, you won't be able to access fastboot via "reboot to bootloader" like most phones, so you've got to do a key combo:
Power Off
Unplug USB
Hold Volume Up
Plug in USB
There you go, access to fastboot,
Now for the actual bootloader unlocking! Found out by @androidguy1991
While you're in fastboot, type/copy past this command,
fastboot oem unlock
then after that type/copy paste this command to make sure you are unlocked,
fastboot oem device-info
and you should now see this text after,
... INFO Device tampered: false
INFO Device unlocked: true
INFO Charger screen enabled: false
OKAY
CONGRATS YOU HAVE NOW SUCCESSFULLY UNLOCKED YOUR T-MOBILE L90 BOOTLOADER! :victory::victory:
And again, I'm not taking credit for the guides, just wanted to put them all in one thread
This was so needed here! Thank you! [emoji4]

As far as I know, no. Your devices aboot partition or abootb partition has to be replaced with a hack written by the guys over at the Russian forum 4PDA. Since I have the D415, I'm not sure of the exact steps required. No one with any of the other L90 variants has written a guide on how to unlock the bootloader.
I can put a guide or script together, or both, but I at the very least, need a link for the aboot/abootb patch.
@aSuperSaiyanG0D
You may also want to add to the OP that LG's device drivers should be installed prior to doing this also Just a thought
Good idea aha, I'll be sure to do so ??

Currently in the process of adding the ability to flash the aboot patch to my [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/general/script-l90-partition-backup-t2832304"][SCRIPT] L90 Partition Backup[/URL], among a couple other additions. This option will NOT be visible for LG-D415 device owners. The user will be responsible for downloading the aboot patch to the root of their external or internal sd cards. Script will only look in the root folder of both sd cards for aboot.img or aboot.bin.
I will post here as soon as I'm finished and the new script is uploaded. I will need some testers ( not D415 owners ) to ensure my script works correctly since I have the D415 and the aboot patch isn't needed for it.

No. This will only enable fastboot on your device. Your aboot or abootb partition needs to be patched. Someone posted links to all the available patches for the D405 and D410 within the last few pages of this thread.
I should note that I'm working on a script to automate the process of patching the aboot/abootb partitions on the D405 and D410 models. If I can finish setting up this computer within reasonible time, I'll try to finish the script and upload it. It will be merged with the [SCRIPT] L90 Partition Backup script that I've already written and posted.
Here's the patches

Need Root on your unlocked TF701T on JB4.3? Here you go!
This file when flashed in CWM will install the files necessary to root any Asus Stock Firmware 10.26.1.7+
Make sure you have prepared by copying the zip file to your internal SD card first.
Please Unlock using the Asus Unlock Tool first found here.
Note installing and running this app will wipe your device and void your warranty.
You can flash CWM 6.0.4.6 using the instructions here.
Website seems to be down but file is here.
To flash a recovery you need to have the fastboot.exe file and cwm recovery.img file in the same folder.
Right click + shift on the folder they are in and choose open command prompt here
Boot into the Bootloader by either booting with the Power and Volume Down Buttons held down until you get the 3 icons or by typing the following into the command prompt.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Then type the following commands to flash the recovery image:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Start the recovery by making sure the RCK icon is highlighted (use volume down to move) and push volume up to select.
If you need to move to the latest bootloader then manually install the WW_10_26_1_18_SDupdate file from the Asus website
In recovery choose install zip - install zip from /sdcard and maneuver to the folder you put the root zip (vol up and down) and select it using power button. Finally reboot when finished.
Say no if CWM prompts you to overwrite the recovery script - important - it won't work other wise.

Well if you are unlocking the device then it will reset, but if you are already unlocked then no it won't reset. It flashes Superuser.apk, su binary and an enable-root.sh shell script to run the su daemon on boot

Updated the first thread as you have to be on the latest cwm which requires jb4.3. Although it should work on jb4.2.2 compatible recoveries as well, I just haven't tested that.

I suspect that -- in spite of what Asus and many on this board have said -- the majority of units have not been defective, including those that were made both before and after the 2013.11 batch that was supposed to be "fixed." In other words, there were good units made before the "fix", and some defective units that were made after. There was probably some change made that _lowered_ the defect rate, but that is irrelevant if you happened to get a good unit.
Well, I shouldn't say irrelevant, because all those defective units have harmed Asus' reputation and probably killed off a lot of developer enthusiasm for the TF701, thus hurting even those of us with non-defective units...

[GUIDE] Unlock Bootloader and Flash Custom Recovery L90 D410, D405n, D405 [CWM][TWR] method using file for D405n and flashed ROM from @Quarx. In order to flash the ROM I had to remove hardware=w7 check. Now automatic update works in the sense, that incremental update is downloaded, but due to hardware=w7 check I have to modify the updater script every time. Any idea how to correct ro.hardware and ro.boot.hardware entries? I have attached my build.prop file and output from getprop command, if that could be helpful.

I'll send @Quarx a link to this thread.
Strange, I have a D405n too, but never had this issue. I wrote a guide explaining the way I unlocked the bootloader here. I used Quarx' latest TWRP, which can be found in his thread and just did a full wipe and flashed CM after that. Seemed to work for me. I would just try reflashing the KDZ again and restarting the unlock process with the newest files available.
EDIT: I just checked my build.prop and my w7n is recognized as a w7. The device is still recognized as the D405n though, so NFC does show up in the menu.

Is it necessary to flash the KDZ? Flashing/dd aboot.bin again should be sufficient I think. I did it, but situation is the same. I have checked aboot.bin files for D405n linked by people in different posts over xda forum (your link as well) and all the files are identical, so in my opinion there is no newest aboot.bin. Concerning TWRP I have tried latest Quarx version and also this version. No difference concerning w7n and w7ds mismatch.
Yesterday I tried also to flash Quarx' CWM instead of TWRP and surprisingly automatic update worked with no problem with hardware=w7 check. However, output/content of getprop command and build.prop file are unchanged. Strange. Looks like with TWRP hardware=w7 check fails while with CWM everything is OK, which would indicate different getprop output for different recovery.
Might be you guys got the D405n with softwareversion 10a, where my device had 10b.. Seen this before and most users with that combination seem to have issues. Might also be a total coincidence though. I don't know what the difference is, but I do know the Russians that made the aboot.bin files made a seperate one for D405n_10b and for D405_10a. So either the version for D405n combined with 10a is missing or you should be able to use one of those two versions.. But once again, this is pure speculation, I don't know if this can cause these issues.

Is it OK, to use aboot.bin_D405_10a for D405n? I mean, no soft brick in that case? With stock ROM I had 10b as well.

I'm not sure, but even then you should still be able to flash the kdz and start over. It doesn't take that long to go through the entire process, I've done it multiple times already. I don't have these problems, so I can't experiment with these files.
Hi all!
Sorry for bothering you. I'm a complete noob and I've bought my XT1097 just 4 days ago. I just want to request to some of the hard core guys here if you can do a noob friendly guide describing the process to transform a XT1097 or XT1092 into a the Pure Edition XT1095. I know there is a tiny explanation in one post, but as I told you, I'm a noob and for what I've read if you don't do the right thing you loose signal.
I just love so much this phone and is brand new, and I don't want to break it
Thanks so much in advance :fingers-crossed:
You have to find it yourself. If you're not able to find guides that already exists then you really shouldn't try to flash your device.

Cheers man
You don't bother me but all information is already here, it's not that hard. All you have to do is learn, and if you have never flashed a device before it should take no more than a day to figure out how it works.
I will happily try and help you out -- everyone is new at one point or another. Give me about a day or so to try and compile the resources I personally used when I did mine!

Thanks man! you had the XT1097 before converting it with the multi tool?
yes it was a retail latam xt1097 with the tool you can convert it to xt1095 and flash the OTA you just need to be cautious with the modem section of it otherwise you will need to reflash again using fastboot and the std retail image with adequate version for your device
I'm pretty sure this post should do the trick, however make sure you use your correct modem as the one posted there is for the XT1092.
benjamin.j.goodwin said:
I didn't get the OTA through my phone, just flashed it.
I did have a modem issue so lost all signal but I fixed it. If you can live without it for a while then you should be fine.
Here is what I did.
0. Download Multi-Tool, XT1092 Modem, Lollipop OTA
1. Enable USB debugging.
2. Use the Multi-Tool to go back to KK stock, full wipe option. *this will most likely **** up your modem, don't worry*
3. Reboot with the stock, enable USB debugging again.
4. Move the OTA zip to your SD card on your phone.
4. Use a CMD window in the Multi-Tool directory to 'adb reboot recovery' if you use Mac './adb reboot recovery'
5. Once in recovery press volume up for three seconds, then press the power button along with it. A menu should appear.
6. Navigate to 'apply update from zip' or whatever it says, not the ADB option.
7. It should flash. Once it's done, reboot. You won't have signal still but don't worry. All in good time.
8. Factory reset after the first boot, don't sign in or anything.
9. Once you have booted again after the reset enable USB debugging again.
10. Reboot to bootloader so 'adb reboot bootloader' or if Mac './adb reboot bootloader'
11. Let's get our signal back.
12. Unzip the contents of the XT1092 modem zip. You will need to type the following:
Code:
'mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin'
'mfastboot erase modemst1'
'mfastboot erase modemst2'
'mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn'
13. Then 'fastboot reboot'
NB: To do points 12 and 13, you will be best to copy the relevant files from the Multi-Tool into the XT1092 modem unzipped directory.
You should now have Lollipop. Root if you want after. It's essentially official too. I did amend my build.prop after as it does state XT1095 as the device which is wrong.

Same steps can be applyed to a XT1097? Just have to extract the correct modem firmware for my device?

Edit: Sorry, just skimmed through the text and didn't saw this was mentioned already.
Another question though, doing this procedure needs an unlocked bootloader? Even if not, this qualifies as a awaranty void?
Thanks any way for the gruide!

you do need an unlocked bootloader as far as I understand... I wanted to try it but backing up my modem files first... at least that required an unlocked bootloader, so I decided not to try it yet...
use TWRP it is better to upgrade to preserve baseband and modem cfg, however you can also use full fastboot flashing and reinstall your modem settings, i used twrp and no major issues so far...
I've been gone from the rooting and android scene for a while I recently got my nexus 6 and looked up how to root but all videos are on android 5.0 and I'm on 5.1 does the 5.0 method work?

yes, same root methods as always. but you dont need a toolkit. its easy enough as it is, for any nexus device.
1. fastboot oem unlock(unlocks your bootloader), then reboot.
2. flash a custom recovery, while in fastboot
3. flash the latest supersu zip in your new recovery.
4. reboot with root :highfive:

oh, im not familiar with it, lol! i thought i linked you the old fashioned way. just unlock the bootloader reboot, flash a custom recovery, then flash the latest supersu in that new recovery. after you reboot, with root. this is the latest supetsu btw http://download.chainfire.eu/695/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.zip
How long does the SDK take? It didn't give me an option for slim SDK so I'm just adding whatever it has checked at start and is there anyway to change my SDK path? And can I just skip the installation and try and flash the custom recovery?

Can I just skip the installation of all the SDK or whatever? And try and install the custom recovery? Or do I have to wait for it all to be done?
Although it's the "cheating" way, you can use Wug's Toolkit ?

you dont need to install the sdk. what you need to install is fastboot and adb. both are in the sdk. but, if you google it, youll find much smaller files with fastboot and adb included.

is the n6 driver installed? or the universal adb driver?

start fastboot, type fastboot devices. then we will see if fastboot sees your device.

You're supposed to run fastboot in the command prompt.

How do I do that? I open a command prompt by typing cmd into the search right?

Yes, remember to change directory to where fastboot and adb is located.
Well, another device, another round of TOT files that I need to pull.
NOTE: As of posting there is no known way to flash this yet. I know others are working on this so will go ahead and post this.
That way when it's ready, this isn't holding it up.
By the way, any future releases will be mirrored on Rwilco12.com.
I thought we were hitting space issues and that does not appear to be the case.

Any questions please ask.
Thank you for this! Hey... Its a start

Awesome! Thank you!
Does anyone know what the dialer code is to get into the engineering menu. I only ask here because I read that on the G4 there was an option to flash from the sd card. Maybe that is where they hid that ability on the G5. This is my first Lg so please excuse me if my information is not correct.

thank you very much
Hello,
As far as flashing the tot file, could we not do it using the LG flash tool?
I haven't messed with the flash tool since the G3 days so kindly refresh my memory.
thanks

Hello, here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737594 " is a list of epst codes A.k.A ## codes.
I know some of theses work with the LG.. my favorite is the "##3282##" hopefully you can find the one you need in the forum there.
As for the flashing a rom from sd card .. in the stock recovery there is the option to "apply update from SD Card"
As a disclaimer i am not responsible for what happens to your phone for using the above info..use it at your own risk....i know i do!

Just released! http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/megalock-dll-lg-flash-tool-2-0-1-6-t3367222
YAY!!!!! now we just need the dll for our phone to get it to work right. and a way to properly extract the files out of the .tot file
Well I have good news. I got LGup to flash the your .tot file, Garwynn. a bit of a headache but it worked. I'll be posting my work here and a few other places. Here's how:
1. Install LG flash tool from ieatacid from here and make sure you can open it with no issues and see where you can choose the .dll for whatever phone you have (this isn't the program needed but the program needed needs a few of the dlls from it).
2. Install the LGbridge setup from here and let it update. Need this for the proper drivers. while it is installing DO NOT have phone plugged into USB port or it will warn ya.
3. install the LG up lab framework 1.11 and the LGH850_DLL file from here
4. Download and extract the LGUP.zip file from here
5. Install the .reg file and put the LS992 folder in the LG Electronics\LGUP\model folder which will be either in C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86) depending on whether you have a 32 or 64 bit windows installed
6. Put phone in download mode ( Phone off, vol up while plugging in usb from PC), start LGUP
7. Make sure you see a com # and phone model and at the bottom where it says BIN, select it, at which point you should see 3 dot on the right, select it and choose the .tot file listed above, then hit start and wait for the magic.
I give creds to autoprime for his good work, garwynn for the .tot file, and ieatacid for his LGFlashtool. and if I missed anyone, I am giving you credits and apologizing for not mentioning you
My show up unknown any advice thanks
