Re-Install the base rom

If you are looking to re-install the base rom I found out that it can't be re-installed through the flasher program the rom is within. It checks the software version on the phone and sees that it is the same as the rom you are trying to install. However, I found a solution. Since the Incite flasher doesn't check this I took the Incite flasher and placed the eXpo rom in the flasher. I changed some of the files that the flasher was pointing to to the ones that are for the eXpo and repacked the flasher. I ran the flasher and it installed to my phone. Here is the repacked flasher for the eXpo and IQ for those that want to flash the base rom.
eXpo:
http://www.mediafire.com/?bmmoidmymfj
IQ:
http://hotfile.com/dl/33211312/b9c9f5e/IQ_ROM.exe.html
The flasher is set to install under windows 7. If you are using xp changed the install path to:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data
If you are installing under windows 7 remember to set the flasher to xp compatibility mode and to run as an admin.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLASH USING VISTA. IT WILL NOT WORK AND YOUR PHONE WILL NO LONGER FUNCTION. YOU WILL NEED TO GET TO AN XP OR WIN7 COMPUTER IF YOU TRY TO FLASH UNDER VISTA.

sweet thanks dude.

btw this really blows.. cuz i have vista on my laptop
edit : still kinda curious if it's gonna work

Yeah vista is an issue with the flasher since day one of the Incite days. There have been those that were successful flashing with vista using a virtual machine running xp or win7, but it is risky and if something goes wrong your phone may no longer function.

Any chance you can provide the link again?
Thanks!

Says ROM is taken down?
I just got my LG Expo today, and I am not as happy with it as I had hoped.
I am also hesitant to install this ROM because I may return it for the Tilt2.
Dilemna's Dilemnas!.
So if i take the plunge, and flash the updated ROM, will I be able to get it back to stock and return if it just isn't working for me?
I love the snapdragon, but the HTC's have been very kind to me, and he new dual booting into android is just great stuff.
Let me know about this base ROM thanks!
Brandon

A new link for the base rom is on the first page. I posted it to mediafire this time so hopefully it won't be removed.

Thanks Dark!
This EXPO getts better by the minute!! I think an update to 6.5.3 is all it needs really!! I probably will keep it in the long run. Tilt2 has the nice screen, but i can't see myself giving up the snapdragon now that its in my hands.
I do like SOME (very little) of the LG stuff, but LGidles as a whole is no good really.
I like LG Contacts and LG Scheduling nice enough, and mobile banking.
Plan on taking the plunge in the next few days on the custom ROM dark. I will let you know how it goes

IQ rom is gone
Hi there,
When I click the link for the IQ rom, it takes me to a Hotfile site that says the file was taken down.
Is it possible to provide a new link?
Thanks!

I'm not sure those rooting apps will work with the desire z... have u tested them? I rooted a long while ago, so i might not be up to date with rooting stuff, but afaik to root our device it had be done manually, or ud have a big risk of bricking... As for the other tools, i think having a link to the htc drivers is the most usefull... but anyways, thanks for caring and putting this stuff up, might come in handy some day

Good afternoon.
I come with the illusion that any developer can help users of LG P870, I wonder if someone could develop a way to install ClockworkMod recovery as custon able to use unofficial roms, and I am desperate for waiting to come out some method to free once and for all this great phone, the phone is becoming popular because it is inexpensive and is being distributed in the U.S. by AT&T and Telcel Mexico, please support us to all of us that we have this phone.
To add a little, this phone already has root method Bin4ry with a restore script via adb.

I would love for this phone to get unlocked with CWM. It's an amazing phone. We just need to pull everyone together that has one and get them on here until someone can help. I appreciate all of the devs on here and I hope we can get something going on this awesome phone.

Ditto.
Jelly Beans.... Optimus F5 has it. Escape is the same phone. Guess we wait. Hopefully, not as long like Optimus 3D/Thrill.

Disappointing
send an email to LG for a response on whether there would be an early upgrade of our model to Jelly Bean or at least unlocking the bootloader and this was his response:
Thank you for your interest about our mobile phone.
“We received your request on LG Open Source Code Distribution site(http://opensource.lge.com).
This site is just for providing source codes of FOSS(Free and Open Source Software) we have used in our product.”
We don’t have any detailed information about LGP870’s boot loader unlock.
If there is any news, LG will announce officially.
Please wait for more times.
We hope this information will help you.
Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
simply a misfortune I regret having bought this phone from LG

No support
I contacted LG open source and the person that emailed me back said that the escape doesn't support bootloader unlocking.

Has there been any development on P870 so far? At least is there a way to get unbloated version of stock firmware or change the language of the OS?
It would be cool if there is at least a list of stuff we can safely get rid of? Or can we try to get a different version to remove all the crapware AT&T pre-loaded?
Thanks in advance!

As far as I know, there has been no further development. I love this phone, but the lack of support is slowly making me go for either the optimus g or g2. Also as far as I know, there is no list. Its just trial and error I guess. I've personally tried to remove some stuff, but after a reboot it says security error. So certain things will cause a security error while others will be just fine. Btw, the only way (that I know of) to fix a security error is to use the lg support tool to recover your phone.

I see you are still using the device, any specific complaints about the software or the bloatware? Or are they just sitting there chilling until you actually run them? I know T-Mo had a bunch that were constantly running like T-Mo back up, My T-Mo, etc.. After the security error, was it a total restore/recovery or was it not destructive recovery? Sorry, I am not familiar with LG at all, coming from T-679 which was extremely flexible, this is a bit puzzling.
How about language, anyway to switch the language of the OS to something like German?

This is the same issue I am having is that it is coming up with that security error thing. I got into download mode and got the lg update program and every time it keeps stopping telling me to unplug and take out the battery and stuff. Just keeps doing it. Is there another way or is there something I am missing?
HELP PLEASE

Try putting your phone in download mode before using the lg support tool. That normally helps for me. Make sure you choose upgrade recovery in the options tab.

They don't run in the background unless you update them and set them up. I keep all the updates uninstalled and disable auto update so i don't have to worry about them. And yes it is a total recovery. Nothing is saved unless it is on your sim card or sd card. You can change the system language, but I don't see a german option. You might be able to download a language pack from the play store. I'll check into it and let you know.
P.S. sorry for the late reply..

Thanks! I am looking for German and Turkish.

Cwm recovery for the escape is finally here!!! The guy who made it also made a custom rom. I installed it and tested it. So far everything works (I don't use Bluetooth so I haven't tested that yet).

I went to try to install the recovery and rom. First question is, I skipped the driver install and rooting my phone because I am already rooted using motochopper. The f5_touch_ recovery.apk I was told to run does nothing? I tried extracting it and it swill doesn't run or bring anything up? Do I need a program to run this file or is it because I didn't use the method included to root? Then if that is the case and i'm successful at the recovery. What do I need to do to install the Rom?Please help ASAP! I have the recovery and ROM downloaded and saved waiting to install! Been waiting to do this forever so please help! THanks sooo much!

[Guide] Debranding to India variant BLN-L22 (successful case)- Noob Friendly

Update-
Please flash the OEMINFO and Custom bin from - https://mega.nz/#!qYtlzawK!Ab86GUO40JpUZ8scGnaIszhA-3gf6bN4NdfuHb8IeBU via TWRP
and then flash the B340 update.app file from download section via dload method. if you face any issue, follow entire guide for other way of doing this.
Initial credits to @uditshah for his guide and @sanjay.rup in sorting my issues at start itself while I was not sure whether to go or not and giving me correct oeminfo file. and all fellow members, and few to name @gopinaidu77 @adriansticoid @RedSkull23 who always helped/supported and encouraged me.
This guide will work 100% if followed correctly. This was tested myself couple of nights back and I successfully debranded or rebranded, as few say, to BLN-L22 from BLN-AL10.
Old version - BLN-AL10C00B379
New version- BLN-L22C675C340
Hi Folks,
Saw many post earlier on MM for debranding to other variant, especially from China variant to EU or Indian version and few of the worked FF but not for all. It never worked for Nougat and we all were struggling, at least to debrand China variant. So in this post, we will mainly focus on EMUI 5.0 or Nougat version for debranding. Few days back, a guide was posted which was very good and helped me to debrand mine. Yes, I faced few issues while following it and for once I was stuck with
Phone Locked
FRP Locked.
That was the moment I though It will never come up but yeah there was a hope as I never saw FRP on my Chinese variant and it all started from there and in this I will share the, almost full proof, detailed steps to debrand.
Prerequisites-
Have a full TWRP backup on your current model and store on PC/SD card.
Files for the new model (BLN-L22 variant)
Memory card with at least 8 GB space.
Firmware finder tool to get the files (preferable on PC)
Huawei multi tool
Working PC and of course, Honor 6X
Most important- PATIENCE. Do not panic. It will take max 2 hours including downloads, backup, restore, flash etc. (may vary depend on your download speed)
Shall we start? Let’s go further and do it now.
Downloads-
OEMINFO -https://mega.nz/#!eBECSYKZ!rte1IxPYuw3Y0NVcySOFy23tXWXoR6vBBo46iJ6JlEw
Main update.zip B340 version - http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1190/g79/v94286/f1/full/update.zip
Data file for B340 (This is required for putting updater app and other stuff on phone or you won’t get updater)-
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...el_in/update_data_full_BLN-L22_channel_in.zip
Huawei Multi Tool- https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=19002#downloads (Version V7 zip)
Firmware Finder app on PC – this is not required as I have given the link above. You can still download it for future usage- http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/huawei-firmware-finder/ (download for PC) or direct link- http://pro-teammt.ru/projects/hwff/GetLatestVersion.action
Steps-
Unlocking bootloader/rooting and MT tool instalaltion-
Unlock your bootloader, flash custom recovery and root it with this https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/root-huawei-honor-6x-install-twrp-t3671822
Backup backup backup your current phone in TWRP.
Installation of Tool installation and backing up current OEM Info file-
Download Huawei Multi Tool from this XDA thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/tool-huawei-multi-tool-team-mt-t3523923 , direct download link https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=19002#downloads select V7 zip, extract it and go to the folder.
Run by double clicking the bat file as below
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Once the tool is running you will see the device connected as below (It will show your phone’s serial number) – Note: (I have not connected my device here, as I dindt was to flash the file again, so it wont show any device ID and just a random data)
Follow step by step images below to backup your current oeminfo file (path of the backup is the folder where you ran the bat file above\backup) in my case it was C:\Users\Downloads\Compressed\Huawei_Multi-Tool_by_Team_MT_v7\Huawei_Multi-Tool_by_Team_MT\Backup
Changing vendor/country- input 7
Selecting device- input 6X or 6x
Save or restore OEMINFO - input 1
Saving OEMINFO- input 1
Confirmation screen for saving the OEM INFO File.
Just make a copy of this file to some other folder, as same folder will be used for a new oeminfo file for new model.
Till now, we have just backed up ourselves so that in case we run into a situation where unbale to boot further or stuck, this will be handy to restore.
Let’s proceed with actual rebranding now.
Extract the Main zip file, you will get 4 files as below, copy all of them to SD card/ External memory card under “dload” folder.
Extract the Data file zip, you will get 5 files as below, copy all of them to SD card/ External memory card under “dload-data” folder.
Rename the downloaded oeminfo file to oeminfo: oeminfo-BLN-L22C675B340.zip -->> oeminfo.zip
Copy the OEFMINFO file for new variant (BLN-L22) to backup folder of Multi tool where you backed up the original oeminfo of your original model. (above path - C:\Users\Downloads\Compressed\Huawei_Multi-Tool_by_Team_MT_v7\Huawei_Multi-Tool_by_Team_MT\Backup)
Run the Huawei multi tool again same as above but this time, instead of backup of oeminfo, it will be option 2 to restore the file.
It should show the progress and confirm the download/restore complete. If this is failed, PELASE DO NOT PROCEED FURTHER and ask in comment section below.
Once OEMINFO restore is successful, you have the oeminfo of new version flash on your model.
Now reboot to fastboot, you will most probably see below status (don’t panic that’s normal now)
Phone- LOCKED
FRP- LOCKED
Remove the USB and Power off the phone by pressing power key now.
Use dload method now i.e. press Volume up + Volume down+ Power key together. Stock recovery should start flashing the files (Note- Do not just put the Update.app in dload and need all 4 files mentioned above)
Phone will verify the package and start installation. It will take only couple of minutes for 100% flash and phone will reboot.
Phone will boot but most probably give you the black screen only, for few minutes. Just waif for 3-4 minutes. (as mentioned, do not panic here as well)
Press power key to turn off the phone.
Take out the memory card and delete dload folder or rename to “dload-main”.
Rename the folder “dload-data” to dload.
Insert the SD card.
Use dload method now i.e. press Volume up + Volume down+ Power key together. Stock recovery should start flashing the files (Note- Do not just put the Update.app in dload and need all 5 files mentioned above)
This will take 30-40 seconds maximum to flash.
Once this is flashed, phone will reboot and ask you to set up the phone.
Unlike the China variant or other which may or may not ask for Google account setup, this may ask but you can skip it by skipping the Wi-Fi connection and removing the sim card so that no data is there to connect.
Follow the on screen instruction and Setup the phone.
BINGO. You are on BLN-L22 now and it will support Jio VOLTE and other stuff that other Honor 6X phones has for BLN-L22 (you are no longer other BLL, BLN model anymore and on BLN-L22)
This took me exactly 207 minutes to compile this guide and then 15-20 minutes in drafting on XDA, after I personally faced many issues but as mentioned, do not panic and proceed step by step and you would achieve what you wished for. Comment below on your experience and share if any modification is needed to the guide, I will do, but as per my knowledge, this is what I could prepare best for any NOOB user who doesn’t even know what root or anything is.
Share your thoughts on guide and ask any question when you stuck. ​
Note-
This was tested from BLN-AL10 to BLN-L22
This may work from any model/variant to BLN-L22 (most probably without any issues)
This should work for all BLL models as well, because there are no restriction on Hardware part.
Good luck and enjoy.​

Hehe yes it should work for sure unless we are unlucky.

I don't have experience on debranding, but if once i'll ever need to do it, here is where i'll surely come. The guide is done very well: listed on steps like you did with the help of detailed images, makes practically impossibile to make errors even to the best noob on earth, making it as you said 100% working so. Excellent work mate, respect!

Question Flash non-indian firmware on LE2121?

Hi everyone!
after a lot of searching (including in this forum) i haven't quite understood what is or isn't possible, and i haven't been able to get clear answers. so sorry if this was already discussed a couple of times.
i own the indian variant (LE2121), even though i live in Israel (aliexpress is the only decent way to get your hands on oneplus devices in my country),
for obvious reasons in an ideal world i would want to install a global firmware on my device, so i can uninstall bloatware and avoid Inidian restrictions that aren't necessary in my country.
is that a possibility?
from what research i managed to do: i understand that i need a suitable version of MSMDownloadTool (which i couldn't find) and a firmware (which i saw is listed in the sticky threads).
should i download everything as if i own the global variant of the device? should i download the LE2121 version of the MSMTool and the global rom? do i need to root/unlock the bootloader for my device?
i also have tried to just download the newest global version and install it via Settings -> local install, but it just tells me "verification failed" and nothing else.
last thing: if it helps, my device currently has this firmware version: LE2121_11_F.20
would really appreciate any help i can get,
cheers.

I will try to fix you an MSM tool that will take you from Indian to Global 11.2.3.3, then you can update from there.... Give me a little while.

You can flash the global rom with unlocked bootloader and fastboot enchanched (fbe)
Or you Download load the global rom
And open it with 7z and edit a file in the zip with notepad++ and then flash it with a local update
Edit the payload_porperties.txt
The line oplus_update_eingine_verify_disable=0 to
oplus_update_eingine_verify_disable=1

Here you go, This should work. May have to play around with the check boxes and if a target button is available, select India......
File on MEGA

got a question for you,
i tried using the tool you gave me (and other identical tools i found online before i posted this thread), and im stuck on this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
it shows both COM 8 & 9 because i tried two different usb slots with two different cables. i ended up using a type-c to type-c cable since it's the most reliable cable i have atm.
my phone is in EDL mode (as far as i can tell) and it shows up in device manager like so, after i installed Qualcomm drivers and restarted my PC:
i'm using Windows 11, i have tried using compatibility mode and\or "start as administrator", but it didn't help.
thanks a bunch!

I disabled the signature enforcement and it solved the issue, as you told!
The provided MSM tool worked,
Thank you both very very much!

system-wide, yes. everything works as expected and i don't get any weird errors, plus having the benefit of formatting my phone makes it feel smooth and "new" again, which is nice.
one of the main reasons i did this (aside from what i mentioned originally) is because i sometimes get stutters desynced audio when playing video (no matter the source). i can resolve this by closing all apps and re-opening youtube/whatever i was watching.
i hoped it'd be fixed with the firmware change but it wasn't. maybe it's a hardware issue or something
