AFAIK it's the safest & quickiest solution for flashing Black.
Now we only need newest firwares in bin/fls format, eg. V20N. Didn't find that yet.

Yeah, I used this one when I had BSOD way back. And I hope there'd be more. What I'd like to know is are they extracted or came from source? The method how to extract is interesting if they are.

I think that these firmwares "leaked" from LG or were downloaded from their servers.
I will ask the guy who posted these files.
I've downloaded all these firmwares on my HDD as a backup if hosting delete this.
It has approx 20GB.

Hello all expert,
Newbie here and want to be safe in uncharted territory on flashing my phone, never done it before.
Does the "COM Port" matter, how do we know which port# to use.
Thanks,

COM port is automatically assigned when usb is connected. I know in smart flasher, if you select lge mobile usb only one port will be available.

Can we use this tool to install the cook rom REDY2006 put together V20N ROOTED.
I have V20N installed, unfortunately cannot get it to root. Thinking of installing REDY's rom.

No.
It's only for stock LG ROMs in BIN/FLS format.

You guys has been awesome and informative.
My ultimate gold is to have V20N rooted. Need to get rid of all the bloatware.
I have the German V20N installed and could feel the efficiency in terms with responsiveness and battery compare to my previous V10D
Now.... to get to REDY's cook rom V20N that are rooted.
Do I use this tool to downgrade to my previous stock Rom V10D and have it rooted and install Rom Manager, then use the Recovery menu to install Redy's Rom
do I need to do any wipe before installing Redy's Rom
thank you guys!!
PS: All of these may be boring to the experts, but are very critical to beginners like me.

When you'll be rooted on V10x, run CWM, make full wipe (data, cache, (advanced) dalvik cache), and then install Redy's zipped ROM.

smart flash
Flashing to a stock room, will unlock the phone to any operator?

Click to expand...

Nope.
Flashing, Rooting and Unlock-Phone are totally different things.
If your phone is locked to a operator, you need to enter the secret menu by pressing 3845#*970# then enter a unlock code from one of the sub-menu. The code above is assuming that your phone is a Optimus Black P970.

No. This method only unlock code or pattern used to lock phone, not SIM.
In short: this will not remove SIMLock.

Thank you for this, is PERFECT!!!!!!!

HI radkor,
thanks for this tutorial. It is indeed way faster than KDZU or RD. However it doesn't work on my phone. Tried several times (KDZU and RD do not work either).
Phone gets in s/w mode. Tool starts to flash. Shows no errors and phone restarts. Yet it stucks with LG Logo and buttons flashing. Stays like this for hours. I tried several times and also used KDZU and RD with several KDZ-Versions and changing options.
It is strange to me that all the programs tell me that the phone is flashed and the phone restarts, but still gets stuck with LG Logo.
Have you seen this? Or should the Tool definitely work?

@Ekkkke:
This flashing tool works if phone is 100% hardware OK.
Maybe your phone hardware is faulty...
Did phone made a Factory Reset after flashing while rebooting?
Why it is bricked? You tried to flash wrong firmware or what?

thanks for answering! I rooted the phone once but I did not flash anything. Made one official upgrade a few weeks ago. Then I turned off the phone a few days ago. Now it doesn't start. Always gets stuck with LG Logo and buttons flashing.
When using the tool to flash it the S/W screen disappears, phone seems to reboot but gets stuck again with LG Logo. The tool tells me that everything is complete. How can I see if it makes a factory reset?
Probably you are right and the hardware is broken. I may use the LG Tool to flash official V20N with recovers (that program as well tells me everything went right). Then I probably send it to LG.
This Forum was my last hope. Thanks for helping! And the tool is great and fast anyway!

[Q] softbricked after trying to update firnware

I need the help of you all,
I have a LG P880 here (LG Optimus 4X HD) version of the developer.
I tried to update it via KDZ updater, there was an error, and now the machine no longer starts the operating system. Just entering the S / W mode.
I would like the support of everyone so I can fix the problem by restoring the operating system of the device.

It's unclear from your post, but if you think those are errors...they are not. What you show us is the normal output of using the program. You just need to wait until it finishes completely.
If you actually do get errors, it could be helpful to show us what they look like, although you could of course also just follow the instructions provided by the thread you link to rollback to a previous firmware version.

Yes, I understand. That seems like a likely consequence of interrupting the flashing process, so I was wondering whether he panicked during the flash because of the output of the program and aborted. I mean, why else show us these screenshots?
I agree that he should just flash again to fix it, which should be possible.

thank you , i had some problems at the beginning but then i used another usb and now i have v20b <3

Hi.
I have a developer phone too.
LG do not offer suport to our phones.
The only way to solve that is flashing via LGFLASHTOOL.
Keep in mind that it will be solved. Keep it up and don't give up.

Disconnect and connect it , maybe it reassumes the upgrade.
If not, try other method.
If you want to save the downloaded kdz it should be in:
C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone
You can use it on other method.

Someone said that stuck at 1% is probably because program can't extract kdz file and if thats true i'll assume either kdz corrupted or program is not running as administrator
So you can try to locate update tool folder and get properties of each exe there compatibility and check run as administrator, this might help

Cannot enter into recovery; Suppressed ROM problem - no help given by its cook

Dear Xda'ers,
I am really desperate on the situation and need your help.
I tried every solution to get into recovery mod including SFT and others available, no luck in getting there.
The rom is working, so no bricked phone situation, problem is gapps terminates itself making email and other functions unreachable.
So I want to switch to either the official rom or another one which is in the forum.
Phone is roooted by the way.
Any suggestions?
PS. As put in the title, this roms cook told me that he cannot help me.

Hello.
If you just want to get into recovery mode, open terminal emulator.
Type
'su'
Allow it and type
'Reboot recovery'
Without '.
Works under cwm.
If this doesn't work.
Use smart flash tool.
(Quoted) ⬇
After flashing your phone should Boot into recovery.
Dont forget to do always a factory reset. If not -> bootloop

ok it seems there is also an other way to enter recovery:

it should boot straight into recovery.

Cant you push recovery through adb/fastboot?

Do you still have cwm and the custom ROM on your phone? If yes, simply download quickboot or rommanager from playstore and hit reboot recovery.

Hi guys,
Tried the two methods from DuffBoon and wash beer - no luck.
I think there is something wrong with gapps as it gives an error when I try to download smth from Google Play- so no option to load any new app.
I go into terminal emulator, input 'su' and have superuser rights, than punch 'reboot recovery', it reboots but no recovery at all.
My diagnosis is CWM and gapps is broken somewhat; SFT or another method is not working for that reason.

But your system is still working? There is an adb flashable cwm recovery from redy06 somewhere here. Google:
Xda cwm touch redy06
And youll probably find it. You can flash it with the device on. There also is a reboot recovery script in the pack, so you can check if it works or not.

[GUIDE] Unbrick Tool for OnePlus 5 with OOS 9.0.9 & OOS 9.0.11 (Untouched full stock)

[GUIDE] Unbrick Tool for OnePlus 5 with OOS 9.0.9 & OOS 9.0.11 (Untouched full stock)
Hello Everyone !!​
=>A hard bricked OP5 has nothing but a black screen (nothing ever comes on the screen, not even a boot logo), it might vibrate when a power button is pressed and held for 20 seconds, has no Recovery partition, no adb mode, and no fastboot partition (It might be a flickering OnePlus logo). The device might be detected in Linux and you might be able to even send commands to it. In Windows, the bricked OP5 should be detected as QHUSB_BULK,Unknown Device,Qualcomm something. You might have a bricked OP5 as a result of flashing a kernel meant for a different device (or a ROM meant for another device that included a kernel), tinkering with the boot logo or bootloader, or your attempt of unlocking the bootloader resulted in corrupting the boot partition. Most of the times, it is needed because OEM Unlocking is disabled, and phone can't boot and no recovery.
=>The solution for OP5 hardbrick is similar to OP3,OP3T- you just need a Qualcomm driver and a recovery package.it'll help to get out from one of the most weird state of the phone.(file is exact file from OnePlus)
METHOD​
This method is easy to use and flashes OxygenOS 5.1.7 and OxygenOS 9.0.9 on your phone. It wipes all your data and restores all partitions to stock. It will work in any condition unless it is a hardware damage.
Step 1 :- DOWNLOADS :-
OOS 9.0.9: https://mega.nz/file/O4dGFI4b#mbqq8VqUiPwoN85ajTV-H2pDNccD58-ccejQnTQHIBE
OOS 9.0.11:https://mega.nz/file/ekUURaII#FPoezmYL1hPJUkb2Hf90ZqW07iEaCza6etnTPSKJOos
Step 2 :- Extract Drivers and Recovery Tool files on Desktop.
Step 3 :- If you are using Windows other than Windows XP,turn off Driver Signature Enforcement.To do so,follow this guide :- http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how-...igned-drivers/
Step 4 :- Press the power button for 40 seconds to turn off the phone.
Step 5 :- Press only volume up button for 10 seconds and while keeping it pressed,connect your phone to PC.Keep volume up pressed till your device shows in device manager as [Unknown Device,QHUSB_BULK (under Unknown Devices) or Qualcomm HS USB ...... (under COMs and Ports)].
Step 6 :- Right Click on your device in the device manager and select Update Device Software. Choose the .inf file manually from x86 or x64 folder as the case implies and select Qualcomm 9008 from the listed devices.If you are unable to see 9008,see the end of post for various other methods to show Qualcomm 9008.
Step 7 :- When the device shows as Qualcomm 9008 ,go to the extracted Recovery Package and run the MSM Download Tool as administrator.
Step 8 :- Click start at top left corner and wait for it to finish (green text will come).
Step 9 :- Disconnect phone from PC and boot into system.
How to Make the device show as Qualcomm 9008​
1.) Make sure driver signature enforcement is disabled.
2.) Try these drivers,one of them might work too :-

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24349802275800171
3.)Download this :- http://www.mediafire.com/file/4aqwyi3g1d6wc67/Qualcomm+1.00.11.rar
Keep phone disconnected from PC.
Open the folder "qc" and install the Test Certificate in the following Stores: Trusted Root, Trusted Publisher, Third-Party Root and Personal
Run the Qualcomm setup wizard (also located in the qc folder)
When completed, restart your PC again with Driver Signature Disabled. (Optional but preferred)
The driver should now automatically install. If not, go to device manager and right click "Unknown Device" and click "Update Driver" Search up the QC folder and press ok. The driver should now install.
P.S.: I found the fix for bootloader menu which was changing after flashing through this tool. Just flash the zip in the recovery from the link below after flashing the rom through this tool, and you are good to go.
Please boot your device, set it up then go back to recovery and flash this file.
https://mega.nz/file/n10kkKCQ#LmCm_TDDyZ9cdZPf2pk0mSSV1bgvZflENQG0ubl15SY
NOTE: When the tool gives the "Sahara error", DON'T DISCONNECT THE PHONE from your PC, and press vol up and power button. It maybe seem stupid as a fix but generally it works.
IMP NOTE: There is a quick update, recently I also got stuck at param processing while flashing my device. So uploading the tool which works well. Here is the link. https://mega.nz/file/C1Nw3Cyb#znHfATPuRN4rAy1ZnDO4kMcftEkQ1P6enGxRGSiBh2E
IMP NOTE: There is a quick update, the tool is updated with latest TREBLE OS.

Don't worry about green led light while flashing with tool its normal behavior, and about error...maybe because of bad download for sure,try attaching your phone again or check the drivers again...and look at the firs comment - seems like tool is working fine.

I did it all, believe me. Reinstalled the drivers multiples times, differents PCS, differents USB ports... I think it was a hardware problem.
I already sent my phone to RMA, so i think it was solved, one way or another But thanks for your replies

If i Get it then yes for sure

Op updated with the bootloader fix, which helps to revert to old bootloader menu.

Op updated with new tool which includes OOS 5.1.2.

Mate she worked a charm! I wasn't bricked but wanted to restore to full stock after issues with open beta rims, firmware and AOSP roms. Was the simplest way to achieve a fresh start

it downloads the ROM while flashing? Or ROM is included in given link by OP?

assistance... you have lost warranty. anyway you can try this metod (work with my old mia3 but have a qualcomm chipset)
first: CLOSE YOUR PHONE!
install mi pro flash tool https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=14943124697586360238
PRESS power+ vol up+vold -
connet to pc via USB
OPEN MIflash tool pro
if your phone will be recognized you can flash stock firmware
with miflash pro you can install all drivers you need (but i'm not sure, test by yourself)
good luck.
if this procedure don't work go to an assistance point. you have damaged the bootloader
before mod devices with a/b partitions is very important read guides with attention. if you don't want trash a new device
you can also try sp flash tool, specific for mtk devices

did you even open it? tannedcan in every single post where there are instructions how to root/unlock/change rom
there is a DISCLAIMER for a reason.
that msg remark that you can brick your device if you dont know what you are doing or if you have doubts!
most of times things can be recovered but NEVER open a device in warranty.

is it okey or I'm the only one whose phone just keeps getting recognized and unrecognized by the PC every 5-10 sec ????
even though i have tried same with diffrent PCs and diffrent cables
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE HELP because this is by far the biggest obstacle I had in this precedure

It is not OK, you are the only one
Start from BROM mode and proceed from there.

I appreciate your response but
i did it all
i already have python the last version
i downloaded the MTK driver
i pressed the whole 3 buttons in the phone connected to PC (the phone didn't give any output at all)
i did set it up (which does appear and dissapear in every 5secs so I had to be quick)
then for the main.py file didn't capture the phone (obviously because I constantly hear the devices get recognized and unrecognized and nor the cable nor the PC are the cause
the theeere I am, stuck in the very 1st step.
please I would be so thankful if you could diagnose the problem just for me to know what to do.
personally I don't think it's a phone hardware problem because back in the days lol i unlocked bootloader and installed recovery, all was very functional and everything responded smoothly
if you wanted to know any other detail i would be so pleasured to tell you

I don't have the time now. Earliest I can help you is on Monday. Send me a PM to arrange for it.
