Can i use CWM and EXrecovery (v19c) for v20c rom?

Hi @alamatnitotoy !
Me and my friend, who has su880, were testing the v20c kdz.
We flashed v20c kdz using KDZ updater, smartflash and even we tried the offical LG update upgrading from v19c to v20c.
After every way of flasing v20c the phone always stucked at LG boot logo. So We read back every partition from the phone and it turned out that the LNX partition, which contains the kernel, is empty. I mean the kernel was missing after every flash of v20c, but every other partition was okay.
We extracted the the every file from the kdz and the the kernel image was empty in this case as well.
I don't know what is it. Maybe we are doing something wrong or LG simply left out the kernel file from v20c?
Did you flashed v20c?

yes i did flash the v20c. I had that problem before also when using other flasher other than the kdz updater. also sometimes when its failing, what i do is i run the file "Root v20c" thru apx before using the KDZ updater to upload the v20c

Thnak you! The rooting-forv20c.rar contains the v20c kernel file.

I need CWM for v20c.Do you have it?

@alamatnitotoy I looked deeply into why flashing v20c brick your phone. My statement that the kernel image is missing from v20c was wrong. The kernel is there but an wrong place. When you use the extractor from P990 AIO toolkit to extract the image files from AP.bin file, the extractor shows you that which image file is at what OFFSET (or address) in the AP.bin file. Here is what am I talking about:
Code:
[01] address=0x00100000 size=0x00400000 // bct file
[02] address=0x00500000 size=0x00200000 // partition layout
[03] address=0x00700000 size=0x00200000 // bootloader
[04] address=0x00900000 size=0x00600000 // recovery
[05] address=0x00f00000 size=0x2bc00000 // system
[06] address=0x2cb00000 size=0x00600000 // kernel
[07] address=0x2d100000 size=0x12c00000 // internal sd content
These adresses also used during smartflashing. These adresses tells the smartflash where is the kernel image and system image and etc in the v20c AP.bin file
If you flash v20c and you read back the 12th partiton with nvflash you can see only zeros.
If you open teh v20c AP.bin file in a hex editor and you go to the 2CB00000 offset you can see there is nothing just bunch of zeros, the kernel is not there. The kernel actually at 2E000000 offset. Not just the kernel is at a wrong offset, also the sd-img is at the wrong offset. sd-img should be at 2D100000 offset, but in the v20c AP.bin it is at 2E600000 offset. So, when you flash v20c the kernel partition will be filled with 00 hex values and the internal sdcard got damaged as well, because the kernel image gets flashed to the internal sdcard. This cause the Stuck at LG boot logo effect, even if you flash v20c kernel to the righ partition with nvflash, because the internal sdcard is damaged.
Fixing v20c AP.bin file:
There are only 00 hex values From 2CB00000 to 2E000000.
Delete those 00 hex values, then the kernel image and the sd-int.img get to the right offset
Insert the same amount of 00 hex values as the amount of deleted 00 hex values to the end of the v20c AP.bin file to keep the size of the sd-int.img, then save the modifications.
I flashed this modified v20c AP.bin to my p990. I read back every necessary partition with nvflash and everything was okay. bootloader, bct, partitions, kernel, recovery, system are aon the right partition so maybe it's fixed, but I am not 100% sure just 98% because I don't have su880
I want to share you and with others the fixed v20c, so you can test. You can download it here
I want to share my google drive folder as well where you can find my works with su880. It has cwm for v19c and v20c. I also write a read me how can you flash it and root your phone with CWM. Well it was not tested as well, I am 98% sure it works, because rooting p990 and su660 stock roms works that way and p990, su660 and su880 almost the same. I use the CWM recovery image from "CWM for v19c".
My folder is here, some files are still uploading. I will notice you in this post when it is finished

There is no bootloader.img in the folder "SU880_V20C_CWM".Have you forgot it?

Oh sorry . Bootloader is there just rename it to bootloader.img from bootloader.bin, or download the rar file again from my google drive folder. I fixed it now.

I'm trying to fix "dual clock" at the lockscreen on my v20c rom.Do you know how?

If you can go to S/W download mode then flash this with smartflash. If you can't go to S/W download mode use "Bootloader installer for v19c", and flash that rom I linked

I cant go s/w mode but volume+ power working. What should i do? Can u explain step by step? Where i can find bootloader installer for v19c?

4)download this tool and navigate to your file with the "find kdz option"(do not change the other fields)
5) press normal download

You can use this tot file to get your phone back to stock KK:
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/AT&T+D850/
OK thank you for the file. However call me a n00b, but the file I downloaded was a tot file and the instructions say I should have a kdz file. Should I rename the file to kdz? The tool is looking for a kdz file.

So I had the same issue with my phone. I made a nandroid backup of my lollipop 5.0.1 and installed a MM rom. when I did it didn't work so I re formatted the phone and restored my back up, and I had no imei number, the phone said no service and I had an x at the signal bar. I tried everything, and couldn't get it to work, so after reading different topics, and random side topics, I found a soulution. after I re installed the lollipop version, I found the right modem.zip file for my phone. I used this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/development/rom-lg-d850-20f-lollipop-5-0-1-extras-t3052041. download the modem.zip and put it on your sd card. re boot to recovery and flash the zip with TWRP. Than bam, you have your imei and signal back. Hope this helps.

[Guide][Marshmallow] Android 6.0 official update for Micromax Canvas A1 (AQ4501)

Update: SPFlashTool flashable Marshmallow firmware file is now available. Build MOB30N.
OTA links are already there on xda, but here was no specific thread for Canvas A1 so i am writing one
Google has released the OTA files for Canvas A1 and other android one devices.
NOTE: To update your phone using OTA files your phone should be running Stock lollipop or atleast stock recovery. (Not applicable if using sp flash tool)
If you are running a custom rom or custom recovery then before proceeding to this guide you must revert back to stock lollipop using sp flash tool
Pre-requisites: 1.Your phone should be atleast 60% charged
2. Back up all important data (just to be safe)
Canvas A1 users can easily update their device by following method(s)
Method 1 (the usual method):
Step 1: Download the official Marshmallow OTA file from here https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota/google_aq4501sprout_aq4501/dc78fbefaf5f69cc4754751251d9ece094bc96e6.signed-sprout-mmx-MRA58M-from-LMY48M.zip
Step 2: Connect your smartphone to computer using the original USB cable.
Step 3: Copy and paste the OTA zip files to phone's storage and make a note of its location.
Step 4: Boot your smartphone into recovery mode or stock recovery: Disconnect the phone from computer, and then turn it off.
Press and hold both the Volume and the Power buttons until the display turns on and enters bootloader mode.
Hit the volume button to open the Recovery menu and then press the power button to select it. Your phone should now boot into recovery mode.
At this moment, a dead Android with an exclamation mark should appear on the screen. Now press and hold Power button for three seconds and then hit the Volume up button once to progress into recovery mode.
Step 5: Return to the main recovery screen and choose 'install update from sdcard'.
Step 6: Then select the OTA zip file using the volume buttons for navigation and the Power button to select any file or open a folder. After you select the zip file, confirm its installation and the update should start installing on your device.
Step 7: Once the installation is done, return to main screen of recovery. Choose Reboot system now to restart the phone and boot into the newly installed Android 6.0 Marshmallow OTA update from Google.
Voila!! You are running official Android 6.0 :laugh:
Method 2 (using sp flash tool, best method)
This method can be used even if you are running a custom rom. You can also use this method to unbrick Micromax Canvas A1.
Pre-requisites: Windows computer, USB cable, and most important "patience".
Step 1:
a) Download micromax driver.{thanks to @mohsin.r.munshi}
Extract its content, you will find an .exe file inside a folder "driver9401". Disable your antivirus and run the .exe file as administrator. (If you are using 64-bit windows, you will need to "disable driver signature enforcement". Google it)
b) Download SP Flash tool from my mediafire or from its official website. Extract it to any folder
c) Download SPflashTool flashable Marshmallow firmware . Extract the zip file. You will see the following files in it (similar not exact)
{
"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"
}
Note the location of MT6582_Android_scatter.txt file
Step2: Goto the folder where you have extracted sp flash tool. Run flash_tool.exe
Step 3: In sp flash tool, Click on "scatter loading". Then locate and select "MT6582_Android_scatter.txt". SP Flash tool will load all firmware files from the folder where you have extracted the OTA files.
Step 4: Power off your phone. And REMOVE the battery. Now on SP flash tool, click on "Download".
(refer to screenshots given on this website. Ignore the steps given on this website, just refer screenshots)
Step 5: (pay attention to every word) Connect USB cable to your phone only. Then Press and HOLD volume down button and insert the other end of USB cable to your pc. Flashing will start automatically. Wait till you see "OK" message on your pc.
Step 6: Once you see "OK" message, disconnect your phone and reinsert your phone's battery. Turn ON your phone. The first boot will take longer than usual.
Congo! You just updated/unbricked your Micromax Canvas A1.

flash official lollipop rom using method 2 above
Hi.. I'm on CM13 now. But I don't have mobile data for some reason. So I want to flash stock ROM. But last time I tried flashing stock, it wiped my IMEI numbers. Luckily my warranty status was somehow reset. So I had to get the phone replaced. Does this have a chance to cause the same problem (wipe my IMEI numbers)??

In that case, i would suggest you to take a backup of your imei data using MTK Droid tool. Also copy your nvram folder straight from your phone to as many external storages as you can. Nvram (imei data) somehow becomes unrecognised after downgrading some phones.
Solution:
1. Use MTK droid tool to restore it from a previous backup.
or
2. locate nvram folder ( /data/nvram, correct me if i m wrong) DELETE it. Then paste a copy of your nvram folder that you copied when imei was not lost. DONT chmod. You will most probably get your network working (ensure that sim card was PRSENT and Radios were ON during this copy paste) within few seconds. I did this to restore imei on galaxy s4.
well, i have flashed 9 different mediatek phones using spflashtool, didnt lose imei in any.

Thanks! I'll post an update when I come around to flashing the stock ROM. Don't have the time now.
hi can i use these update for micromax unite2(8gb) from lolipop to marshmallow.
Firmwares are device specific. You CANNOT install a this on any other phone. You will brick your phone by installing a ROM which is not made for your device
Please update stock marshmallow link sir as soon as possible
.......
Thanks in advance

That means your phone was not detected. Power off your phone. Load scatter file and then click on download button on so flashtool. Put one end of USB cable to your phone. Hold volume down and simultaneously put other end of USB cable to computer. If its connected, the progress bar at bottom will show progress. I am assuming you have installed all drivers.
I hope this helps.

LG G4 VS986 QH-USB QD Loader 9008_HELP!

Bought refurbished LG G4 ( Did nt knew earlier)
ROM - H81510C -
Unstable, Device got stuck with dual windows.
Freezes quite often.
Thought of flashing and used send command terminal.
It got bricked and went to Q9008 mode.
When I checked the board it says MODEL VS986
Tried SD card method---might be using wrong dump file
Tried QFIL.
Nothing working.
Help will be appreciated.
You're screwed. Hopefully you have insurance.

Thanks
Can u send me the link for procedure
whats the current state of your device?
-> can you boot into Android?
-> can you boot into Download mode?
.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B41...ew?usp=sharing Extract folder / Move folder into QFIL folder as a folder not as individual files / load the firehoseprogrammer, patch, & raw / Flash / Remove battery / insert battery / hold volume up and plug in at same time until "download mode" appears on device / wait for drivers to install ? flash vs98627C.kdz with LGUP.
This will only work if the device bricked on 27C or earlier. If you know what FW version you bricked on the extract that FW and replace the appropriate files in the recovery image folder.

Help required to go back to full stock (remove TWRP etc.)

Hello,
I have Fulmics and TWRP installed, but I want to go back to full stock and official recovery. I have a back up of my original ROM, but no back up of the stock recovery (I don't think anyway... what partition is the stock recovery on?).
How do I replace TWRP with the stock recovery? I have looked at various threads but most of them seem to be out of date or not quite the same situation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

m
p
Solved it myself (after multiple hours spent researching, trying different methods and temporarily soft-bricking my phone...)
As a brief summary for other people:
Download LG Flashtool 2014
Download LG G3 Drivers
Download correct KDZ file from here
Downloaded the Megalock.dll and put in Flashtool folder.
Put G3 into Download / Firmware Upgrade mode (Power off, hold volume up button and connect USB cable to PC)
Go to Device Manager in Windows, find 'Ports (COM & LPT)'; go to properties of the LG Serial Port, 'Advanced'-> and change the COM port to 41.
Run Flashtool.
Select KDZ file.
Click on 'CSE Flash'
Click 'Start'
Change language.
Click OK
Wait while hopefully it installs the ROM on to the phone and then reboots.
Sorry it's not more detailed!
