hello, im new to the forums. i have a lg optimus us670 that i have been trying to customize. i rooted with gingerbreak and worked fine. i wanted to make a back up and after searching and reading the forums i went with amon ra recovery, but now the phone gets stuck at the lg screen. will not boot normal/ recovery. it will go into S/W upgrade though. tried to recover phone with lg update utility, when the utility starts it connects to phone, checks software, and recommends upgrade. when i try to update software or recover phone it cannot establish connection with phone. left it at us cellular store all day yesterday and all they could do was retrieve the phonebook/contacts. i have read forums and dont know what i should do next.
i have downloaded the kdz installer and downloaded my firmware from a link i found in one of the posts. but it is a .cab file with a .dll , .wdh , and a ms works database inside. i dont know what to do now.
i have downloaded the kdz installer and downloaded my firmware from a link i found in one of the posts. but it is a .cab file with a .dll , .wdh , and a ms works database inside. i dont know what to do now.
okay, so... after more searching i have found a program that will load the .cab file onto my phone, but it errors when it extracts the file. wondering if i need to find another file...
okay, now im setting up adb on pc and will try to connect to phone, if nobody is following this i will quit posting what im doing. just hoping i can get this thing working again.

Hello All,
I have been upgrading mine and a few friend's dash's to the Kavana 6.1. My Dash however has a hardware issue (the ear piece speaker is distorted) and is being replaced through warranty service. My new dash arrived today, and I know I need how to re flash my software back before I send it to T mobile. I downloaded TMO_1.22.531.6 from the official rom sticky. However when I open the zip file it is a RUU_signed.nbh file contained inside.
I am not sure how to flash with this file. I assume it requires some other software in order to flash it. I have tried numerous searches and can't really seem to find what I am looking for. I really got spoiled by the simple EXE launchers included with Kavana rom's.
Any help would be VERY appreciated.
Thanks!
You need to go to this thread .
On the bottom of that thread download the files needed zip file, add (copy or move) the .nbh file in that folder after you unzip it of course.
Run the romutilityupgrade.exe file and follow the directions as you did before.
Why not go to Tmobile support site and download the official Rom and install that ?
Thank you for your help -- I actually tried it both ways.
First I tried to use the t-mobile website and when I attempted to run the exe it always failed out on error 202 which of course is usb (even though it was connected). So then I tried it the way by grabbing the software recommended. When I ran the AUTO batch script (similar to the way I installed Kavana), it installed just fine. So that being said, I got it downgraded. If you can't tell I don't have a real great understanding of the actual upgrade/downgrade process.
Issue is tho, when I first got the phone, the initial splash screen was t mobile if I remember correct, but when I upgraded to Kavana it changed it to the HTC logo. Well after the downgrade, it still boots with the HTC logo instead of Tmobile. Will that be a dead give away that I flashed the phone when warranty center receives it? If so how could i change it?
That's definitely gonna raise some eyebrows.. but I kinda doubt they'll notice it. Just look at the idiot phone techs you get when you call their tech support line... I don't know how you would change that...

you can go here--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341753 and follow instructions on post #1 to reflash the tmobile boot spash screen. i've tried it and i have the t-mo splash screen now.
Thanks for the help! I actually was able to get it to successfully go away by stepping back another version to .4 from .6 -- this replaced the screen and returned it back to the way it came. Coincidentally, after looking at the replacement units software version and confirming it was .4 I feel fairly confident everything will be fine, oh and now everyone doesn't sound like a robot!
Thanks again,
Chris
OK. I think I've done my due diligence. I've scrubbed the forums for 2 days, I've googled it and I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Friend gives me this rooted LG OGP. Awsome! Works great! Then AT&T or LG sends an OTA update that bricks it :crying:. Read Aryan1312's sticky thread in this forum and get all pieces together. By now I have the 3.8.1 drivers AND the newest 3.10.1 drivers, LGFlashTool 1.8.1.1023, along with the newest 10P TOT file. I got the Flashtool to stop asking for PW and I think I'm ready to go.
But then . . . Plug my phone in and Device Management doesn't know what to do with phone. Reinstall drivers pack from LG website. Still no dice. Hmm. Phone is in Team Win Recovery Project v2.6.3.0 recovery screen (I guess that's what it's called) and computer doesn't know what to make of it. Hmm.
Maybe I can put it onto a microSD card and copy stuff over to phone? Maybe flash a different ROM through TWRP? Let's try that. I copy files over to the external SD card, put it into the phone, restart phone, hello TWRP, Advanced-File Manager option, WHY CAN'T YOU SEE THE EXTERNAL SDCARD??? Isn't it supposed to be there under /extSD?? It's time to ask for help.
Question: How do I get my Win7 PC to see the phone as a removable drive/external drive/whatever you call it so that I can get this info over?
I know that I have to change Port #'s after Win7 sees the phone. I just can't get there . . . yet.
- What I've tried:
Reinstalled drivers (both versions) and restarted between trying to plug phone in.
Tried installing phone drivers manually. Still doesn't mount as external HD as far as Win7 is concerned.
Called friend to ask his opinion. He doesn't remember and tries to tell me this is why Apple is "better".
Scoured the web to see what to do. Found articles about this same thing happening and all point to Stickied Post on this XDA forum
I did RTFM and am still lost.
---- Sorry for the long post, I just thought that people who wouldn't mind helping would appreciate the extra info.

1. Is the first pic with the phone connected to the pc?
2. If yes, have you tried to manually update drivers, while in device manager
3. I know that this is going to sound funny but have you tried a different USB port. The reason I ask is I had the same problem LG Optimus M and the phone was down for a couple of days. I tried everything and was about to call it quits but for some reason when I changed USB port the computer saw the phone and I was back in business. I am not saying that will 100% work but it is worth a try.

Yes I have. I think I did figure it out though. I put the device into "download mode" and my computer could see, and communicate, the phone.
To put my phone into "download mode" I did the following:
I connected the phone to the computer physically with USB cable
I turned phone off.
I pressed BOTH volume buttons and held the power button while phone was attached to computer.
With BOTH volume buttons still pressed, I released the power button.
The phone screen was black with a little dialog box in the middle saying "download mode"
I could then use LGFlash Tools to flash Stock AT&T TOT file back into phone. Took 519 seconds to complete the stock flash.
New problem arises, After flash, I do NOT have any 3G/4G signal. I can use the phone to make and receive phone calls and text messages, but I CANNOT use mobile internet unless I have it connected via wifi.
I installed the Debloated ROM and "tried" to flash 980 Baseband.zip but when I tried to install baseband, CWM gave me a permission error and said install failed. I haven't been able to use mobile internet since. Any help???
-- Again, sorry for the lengthy post. I figured that I might not be the only person who has gone through this. I see a lot of viewers to the thread so I think other people might be having same troubles as me.

It sound like you need to manually set the APN. Do a Search for your provider.. ie AT&T T-Mobile the setting is under Network/Tethering & Networks/ Mobile networks/ Access point name/ Hit Menu Button and New APN
You are the MAN / WOMAN!! Thanks for the help. That fixed it.
For posterity and to help another "noob" stuck in my case later (maybe months down the line)
This is what I've done up until now in plain text:
Used LGFlashtool to flash AT&T stock "10k" build
Went into Settings Icon>General>Developer Options>check off "USB Debugging"
Used "E980 Universal Root" from forums to gain Root access (verified with "Root Checker" from Playstore)
Used FreeGee to get TWRP recovery installed (rebooted into recovery with "QuickReboot" from Playstore).
Used TWRP recovery to install "E980 Baseband.zip" from forums
Factory Reset
Setup new phone and input APN settings (located in Settings Icon>Networks>Tethering & Networks>Mobile networks>Access point names>Menu button "New APN"/input carrier values/Menu button "Save")
Now that I know how to get back here, I'm going to scrap the stock ROM and try to do this whole process with a custom ROM. . . and another flash-a-holic is born. The learning journey continues.
Welcome:beer:
*KCCO*2SHAYNEZ*E980*
That is what this forum is for.
I have been helped out a lot from the group and I just thought it was time to pay it back. It is good to hear that you got it up and running. But one last word of advise BACK UP, BACK UP, BACK UP, and when that is done, back up the back up to the computer.
I have read all of the topics on here and the rest of the internet and so far nothing seems to work, I soft-bricked my phone, I can boot into download and recovery fine, but even if i flash a old backup i cant get past the bootloop, Ive bricked my phone many times before and always recovered from it, but now if I run the LG Flash Tools I get a "failedPreviousLoad()" error, Ive even followed guides that i knew worked, is there something i am over looking? this is my only phone so i cannot afford to lose it, odd that it works halfway though. any help would be greatly appreciated
try uninstalling lg flash tool and removing all files associated with it (DO NOT GET RID OF THE TOT FILE)
then make sure there are no registery errors, after which, reboot your computer and reinstall the software like before.

does the software leave any registry keys behind when uninstalled? i cant find any
EDIT: just tried after a reinstall and still same error, i took a screenshot, but i cant upload it here
i have even tried the support tools, but those require a kdz file and i read that the ls980 doesnt have one of those
Hi guys,
I got my new LG G3 D857 yesterday and I've basically spend the last 24hrs trawling through the forums both in English and Chinese looking for a way to flash my device back to version 10a (I am currently running 10c) so I can put all the Google goodies on my device.
I managed to find lots of useful information and have downloaded all the necessary files from both websites linked to XDA and the Chinese forums, I got LG Flash Tool installed and put the MEGALOCK.dll where it should be, but everytime I open it up I am greeted with "Wrong dll" I changed to another dll I downloaded and yep, same message.
Does anybody have any idea how to work around this because it is driving me crazy, I know it will be pretty straightforward to do but I just can't beat this wrong dll message,
hope somebody out there can help me!
Thanks

USB Problem
Exit the Flashtool Use the LGUP_8974.dll its fine, work your way to skip over the wrong dll error (Clear the S/W Add the DLL then add S/W again)
When the FlashTool say its READY,You unplugd and then pluged it back in but the flashing process didnt start Follow This:
1:My Computer-Properties
2evice Manager
3ort (COM &LPT)
4:choose LGE
5roperties-Port Setting-Advance-Choose Port 41 .
now the process should start
this is the error message i get when trying to flash the stock rom onto my lg g4. i bought a phone that had the google account locked out, so i figured i could get around that somehow. when i got to the part where the settings needed accessed in the vision menu, it was greyed out, so i did some more research. this led me to the lg flash tool i used today.
i went to this forum and downloaded all the items needed and installed the drivers, then put the phone into download mode and opened the tool as an administrator. i browsed to the file leaving it at cdma, diag, 33000. i hit cse flash to wipe it and it verified the phone connection. then it said connection to server reset. please try again later and made me exit. i tried again, then this time it it got to upgrading sw and went to 5%, then counted 6, 7, 8, and 9, and then said upgrade stopped due to an error. i have a log if that would help, it looks like it is having trouble extracting the file. i got the US99110c_03.kdz because that is my model of phone, but also tried an 815 in case it was a bad file. any suggestions are much appreciated.
looks like i have figured out what happened. finally, i got a tool started which gave me a thorough error message. it said the new rom was older than the one already there. now, the one dated 28 aug 15 is the newest one i can find anywhere. any ideas where i can find it?

Hey bud, did you ever figure out the issue? I'm having the same problem and can't get it working again. Same exact issue as you. https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...bootlooped-t3654568/post73357821#post73357821
