Hi, recently i managed to brick my Korean F340L G Flex so bad. I've tried almost everything software wise.
-The solution:
I'm planning to change the logic board from a Sprint LS995 model. I think it will work ok. Of course I'll have to some how get an unlock code in order to use it in Greece where I live.
I've seen in ebay some users providing for a small amount of money this code.
So, what do you think. Will it work as I'm thinking? Any comments, suggestions, guides welcome. Thanks
Here is a short story:
"Hello, to all, I'd like to share my experience and problem with my LG G Flex, as a last hope to find a solution to unbrick it.
I know that the talk here is about G2's, but I saw many users reviving their Flexes with OP's method.
So here is what I did in steps:
1)I rooted my Lg g flex F340L
2)New OTA, downloaded, but failed to install after reboot. The message was no OTAs for rooted devises
3)Tried to unroot, but with no success. Still no installation of OTA.
4)Found, and flashed the stock F340L rom , (had an EFS backup), from another user here(.tot file), with LGFlashTool.
5)SIM card was not recognized any more (Greece, Vodafone), so no calls. Did all the updates, but no SIM, still.
6)Hard reset, still no SIM.
7)Decided to flash stock F340K kdz rom, and install CWR. All good, SIM detected, OTA downloaded, but after reboot stuck at CWM nenu. Whatever I do just CWM.
8)No download mode, or usb support, just an LG FLEX unknown device. Got some drivers only to be seen as lenovo ADB device.
9)I found the test point on the motherboard and short circuit it. Got a qhsusb_bulk(qualcomm 9008) under COM ports, but not on a specific port.
10) No flash capability, and no partitions to try and flash the 10 or so, images. Ubundu, no luck with the partition detection either.
11)After many reboots and button long presses the CRW came back...again
Well as I can see, there is not so much support for the korean variants and I might have destroyed my phone. So, I need your advise in changing the motherboard. I found M/B's from AT&T and Sprint variants, to install to my F340L. I think it will work. After I will purchase an unlock code from lets say ebay to unlock it to all GSM networks ( I live in Greece).
What is CRW or CWR?
Are you referring to CWM? The recovery?
If you can boot into cwm your phone has a chance to be saved no need to change the mb.
By the way sprint doesnt give out unlock codes like att. There is an specific process to sim unlock sprints variant.

Yes sorry, CWM I was refering to. Well, since I have no other option at the moment. I'll try to find that specific process you've mentioned when I get the board(help or hint welcome)
As, for the M/B change, no system partitions are recognized in order to flash individual .images to unlock them.
If you can access CWM you dont need to flash the .img files for your phone. Instead you could flash a stock zip through adb sideload or flash twrp through sideload too. Twrp allows MTP use so someone using an F340K can help you with a stock backup and you can unbrick instead of changing board.

The only stock image I have is in .TOT file for the L variant. I also have stock .kdz file for the K variant. I can sideload to /sdcard/0/ directory only, if that helps. I'll try to find twrp.zip and try it. But the main problem is to find stock rom in .zip format.
I've managed to install twrp 2.8.0.0...

Ok, this will take time friend.
I will try to make you a flashable zip of stock F340L KK.
Maybe it will take me some 4 or 5 hrs.

Hello everyone,
my D405n is partially correctly recognized as w7n:
ro.product.board=w7n
ro.build.product=w7n
ro.cm.device=w7n
ro.product.device=w7n
ro.build.product=w7n
ro.cm.device=w7n
However partially incorectly as w7ds:
ro.hardware=w7ds
ro.boot.hardware=w7ds
I have unrooted my L90 using towelroot, unlocked bootloader and install recovery with
[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.
Best regards

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.
Hey guys i just a thread in the Android Development forum about a guy possibly making Lollipop work on many devices! It is a great news and can someone upload the CWM/TWRP Backup here? Needed to make a flashable zip!!
I actually need this kinda backup too. Whenever I try to flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/ota-moto-g-2014-xt1063-v22-11-6-android-t2939881 via stock recovery, it says "/system/lib/hw/sensort.MSM8226.so" has unexpected contents.

I am now on 5.0 with out using any PC or anything..the only thing is i cant send a text...calls work fine just no text messages...can you help me? I also want to get rid of the dual sim feature as my phone only has one sim. Please help!
Okay so I tried to download and flash the OTA.zip for my phone and flash it through stock recovery and it aborts when verifying my current system because of the edited build.prop in this build. Is there any way to fix this without a PC? I don't have access to one right now. Feel free to PM me! Thank you XDA

Thanks for this Recovery. I really appreciate it. However, I am stuck with the phone thinking it's a Dual SIM phone.
How do I make it recognize that it's just one SIM Card.

Okay you need a new sim card from att. Get one put it in your phone and factory reset it should work after that. The lgtool seems to mess up the sim card when restoring to factory. That should fix you up it did for me and 3 other lg phones ive owned.
I had the phone all fixed, gave it back to the owner - He tried to do an OTA update to KitKat. Now it's stuck in a boot loop. This thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/fix-stuck-custom-recovery-trying-ota-t2907508
Did not help. Of course, I'm probably doing something wrong. It boot loops to recovery, won't go to the ROM at all, and now there isn't ANY back ups. Also, when I try to flash that flash fix - It says phone is unrooted and it wants to install SuperSU.
Help for the last time? :/

If you flashed the modified D958 tot then thats the problem. I suggest you use the original KK D950 tot. That way the phone will get the modem it needs to have radio on.

Hello everyone,
I have a XT1079 and I made the mistake of flashing 1069´s ROM. Now I can´t install a custom rom and adb does not recognize my device (it is listed as 1069 with a question mark on the icon in device manager).
Any ideas for help me will be appreciated, thanks a lot.
If your phone is able to go into recovery , you just flash the stock firmware again or flash flashable zip of the stock ROM ( or may be some custom ROM (i'm not sure though)). This will kind of reset your phone and it will work again. But as you said, You have downgraded your phone, you need to check out which one to flash ...i mean whether to flash kitkat or lollipop version.

I cant seem to find any brazil xt1079 firmwares - yet - you have no signal due to incorrect radio/modem files - only can find xt1079 retcn files this modem / radio combo will be wrong - yours will become available but may take months to appear.....
