Flash Tool / .kdz stock Firmwares? - LG Nitro HD

Just wondering if anyone knows how to flash AT&T Nitro HD back to stock; other than CWM nandroid backups.
Will the LG Tool work? and where/how we do we find the .kdz files?
I found this ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412367&page=1
which flashes Korean .kdz then we're supposed to dd if= some stock Nitro .IMG files.
I suppose its good enugh.
Might anyone know where to find a full .kdz to flash stock AT&T?
Thanks again.

As far i understand, you need to do only one thing, either flash .kdz or the partition images. Someone plz correct me if i am wrong...

If you guys look at the Thrill 3D forum, you will notice there's a lot of explanation on what has to be done to flash kdz file with the LG mobile support tool. I'm gonna try to see if it works the same for our Nitro, as I had the Thrill before this one. I think on the deveoplment thread there is a forum that's lists the official att kdz, I think I have it, if I do I will post it up on my dropbox for you guys. Will have to wait till I get home though....at work

This is a system dump, don't try flashing this.

I was pretty tired when I posted it and forgot to mention that it's for devs to build ROM from.
Can't wait! Thanks Loki!
downloading now to play around with. Will see if I can get a flashable rom off of it. A few have tried already to no avail though.

Just use these. Your phone will upgrade to it anyway. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536636
But I think for your purpose, use LGNPST with the zvc bin. You'll find the link to the bin in the root guide.

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear enough. The stock rooted ZVC is what I'm already running (flashed from CWM with an unlocked bootloader). There's a bug where you try to charge when the phone is completely turned off, the screen turns on draining battery and preventing you from charging at full speed. I understand this could be fixed by a) flashing an AOSP-based ROM or b) if you want to use stock rooted, stick with the original bootloader/recovery. So, I'm trying to figure out if I can just flash boot.img and recovery.img on top of the stock rooted ZVC, and get the charging to work properly.
I found what I thought I needed in shelnutt's files-- he has the Sprint backup img's. But when I dd'd them over, my phone won't boot now. So I will probably have to LGNPST the whole zvc bin and start over. Oh well.

You can root your phone, but you can't flash ANY ROM unless you unlock the booloader/recovery.
If restoring FreeGee unlock didn't work for you then you need to use LGNPST to get stock recovery back. It should also fix your charging issue.

Flashed the whole ZVC bin with LGNPST, rerooted and got what I wanted. I didn't lose data or have to start from scratch like I was afraid of, and it's easy enough to unlock with freegee if I ever want to flash roms again in the future. Thanks for your help/encouragement.

[Q] Sprint LG Optimus G incorrect software

So yesterday I traded my Nexus 7 tablet for a LG Optimus G. I rooted it, unlocked bootloader using a .jar software the trader provided me. Everything went well, but since I have no internet on my old Dell running XP, I had to use other means to flash TWRP recovery. Something didn't go right and my phone was bricked. So the guy I traded with was nice enough to come all the way back to me, and give me a KDZ file he found on the internet to restore it using the KDZ Firmware Update from LG. Took me a while to work it but it fixed my phone, only issue now is the software version in Software Information is now E97310f and won't let me update. It used to be LS970 so on ZVB. All my Sprint apps are missing, each time I restart the phone it says Unfortunately software update has stopped. In general, I'm guessing this was not for a Sprint LGOG.
Any ideas on how I can return it back to normal? I plan on connecting it with Sprint and want it to have their crappy bloatware.

no good
Nothing there could really help me. And now that I'm considered a E973, drivers are a whole different story, fastboot mode seems to no longer exist, all I can do is get into some sort of useless recovery mode. This is a nightmare. This stock version is bad in performance. I feel like the device is clocked at 1.2 instead of its meant to be 1.5. What the heck am I to do?

I'm going with that, but I have never used the LGNPST so I'm a bit stuck. I downloaded a .bin from there, grabbed the LGNPST software from a different site, and now I'm trying to figure out how to combine the two. And the recovery screen isn't like the regular "use the volume and power button" recovery, its just a white window with a two arrows making a circle type recovery that they call "Recovery Mode" and has no particular function other than to hold power for 8 seconds to reboot normally.
Okay so I figured out how to use LGNPST but I seemed to have flashed some other type of incorrect object. The bin I used made my LGOG boot up with the same fast boot and TWRP recovery as my Nexus 7 had. Aka the boot is now Google with the unlocked symbol beneath. Now when I try to flash the old incorrect KDZ file from the E97310f, no good. So my problem went from OK to just plain worse. I'm looking to find the correct teenybin necessary in order to then try to flash the ZV8's ZDK file. Now my device is really bricked with a TWRP and a locked boot loader. Isn't that sweet (sarcastically)

Also forgot to mention each time I use LGNPST the device boots at 67% leaving the rest incomplete, then shoots up to 85%. Perhaps its why the KDZ no longer works. I'm guessing using LGNPST was bad from the beginning. Should've stuck to finding the original KDZ instead.

That's just what lgnpst does. You should not be using a kdz. You should be using either zv9.bin or zvb.bin. if you're going to use Sprint. The bins are in the same place I led you to for lgnpst.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Well you were quite right in a way! Thanks! This will sound crazy, but I used the LGNPST to flash the alternative LS970 bin provided. It gave the fast boot mode, Google boot, and TWRP 2.5, unlike the last one I mentioned that wouldn't let me use the ZDK file. So what I did was I tried pulling the same trick used to push a zip file to my Nexus 7 when I accidentally wiped everything. It was a bit of a crazy stunt, but I used the Nexus 7 Toolkit 5 to push a custom ROM I downloaded here on XDA thru TWRP. I had tried before on the last bin I flashed and no good. Tried again and it actually pushed the file. From there I used TWRP to install the zip and well here I am writing this from my new ROM. The info shows LS970. The XDA app as well as you can see below. Had to reroot it using the ZV9/ZVB Universal Root as GIAO would said my device is unsupported. Not quite sure if the boot loader is unlocked though. I'll probably stop messing with this thing here before I make it any worse. Thanks alot
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
GAIO is outdated, but a least you're rooted. And unlocked too if you were able to flash a ROM. It sounds like you used a teeny bin to get going. Not zv9 or zvb.bin. You should be good to go.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Yeah it was all working perfectly, until yesterday where I turned it off last night as I've done each night since fixed, but this morning, no boot. Now no matter how many different roms I try to flash from it's SD card, or which different teenybin I flash, it won't fix the situation. Im guessing it's a security issue, although I did nothing really to provoke it. Any idea how to fix it or completely format everything including TWRP and the fastboot altogether?
Sent from my LG-LS670 using xda app-developers app
Actually, never mind...the thing randomly decided to boot after deleting some files thru TEEPee. Coincidence is that yesterday I downloaded FreeGee, it didn't detect my device as a LS970, and it left behind a file. When I recalled that thought and deleted the file, ta da. Works fine....

[Q] LS970 not being recognized by LGNPST

Hello all,
This is my first post here but I will do my best to give as much detail so that you can help me with ease.
Sooo, I have an LS970 and I attempted to flash the ROM and well.... I messed up and (for some dumb reason) didn't make a backup. So I'm stuck at the LG logo. I can't get into recovery mode or anything except Download Mode.
Soooo, I tried using LGNPST as described in the following thread: [REPAIR] TeenyBin for LS970 - Soft Brick Fix. B/L Unlock. RPM/TZ Update {08/21/13}
But the download links for the TeenyBin wouldn't work. So I just downloaded the stock .bin files.
Now, I tried running LGNPST and getting to it recognize my phone and nothing shows up.
I have registered the .dll files, I have installed LGNPST through This thread here
Any suggestions? I really like my LS970 and hate being stuck with a damned iPhone....

Another option is to hope on the irc, there is an autoinstall of LGNPST
You might need to uninstall and reinstall drivers and LGNPST.
Which .bin are you using? Use zvb, or zvc.

You can find links to the bin files in the root guide, and the irc.
Your problem is probably the radio/modem. ZV9 radio only works on ZV9 Roms. You have JB. If you had recovery you could just flash the radio.

If you are reflashing stock KDZ, you don't need to worry about unrooting, as it will wipe off everything you currently have on your phone, anyway. For information about flashing KDZs (and a whole lot more), here is a good place to start. Original stock ROMs for OG are available here -- pick the one you need.

OTA update bricked my phone. Need advice

Hi all,
mt LG Optimous Pro G E988 has been working fine for 6 months,
But over night there was a OTA update, and now my phone is "stuck"
I say stuck because it will boot with the message
"Secure Booting Error"
"Cause: Device Unlock!! So Boot Sucess!!!"
then it goes into my CWM Recovery....
I had rooted with cwm
Here is where I am having the problem. It never fully installed the OTA update, because I had a boot loader installed.
I had tried to wipe everything and do a factory update, but no use.
I also tried using LG Mobile Support Tool to reflash the factory ROM
as per: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45953380&postcount=1
Yesterday when I tried it, the LG f;lash tool said it was not able to connect to the LG Server
But today the program is saying there is not enough power and may cause a problem.
I have just charged the phone for 9 hrs straight. I don't believe that it's undercharged
Is there a way for me to flash the phone with the original ROM without connecting to LG's server (using their Support Tool)?
Please help.
Thanks
Since you already have CWM installed I hope you have a backup which you can restore. Backup your apps and settings using tools like super backup or titanium. Then reload the JB 4.1.2 kdz from pc. You can look for the steps on xda forums. Once that is done successfully you will loose root. Then try official update via OTA. Or you can try to update via pc tool. Someone already shared the kitkat kdz on xda forums. You can try that too. All the best.

Unfortunately I do not have the backup anymore.
I also tried updating via the LG Mobile Support Tool, which did not work as it gives an error about not being able to connect to the server
I tried the guide from Madmack "[GUIDE] [E980] Fix soft bricks. Flash back to stock using LGFLashTools"
But I have not been able to locate the TOT file for the international E988
I tried to use the one he provided and it did not work (yea I'm desperate to try anything now)
Anyone out there have a TOT file for the international E988?
Or is there a way to crate one from the KDZ files?
please help
thanks
Not sure why you need a tot file. Kdz is fine. Look in xda for guides on loading the kdz file. That is a sure way of unbricking your phone. If it is still bricking after kdz load go jnto stock recovery and clear all caches and reboot. Most guides i have used mention this as an optional step.
