I can not find a forum for the Optimus F3, and do not know if this is the correct place for this. I rooted my phone and started cleaning out some of the bloatware that shipped with it. I managed to delete a few things that were important to the device. What I am looking for is a copy of the original(LS720ZV5) ROM that shipped with the device.
Thanks,
Buddy Ochoa
Please let me know what you deleted that was important im ready to delete the bloat on mine right now lol.
Here is the doc I wrote up on another site to restore the image. Note this is for VM/Sprint.
Flashing your LG F3 to Stock ROM. This will wipe out all data and applications and restore to out of box.
1) Download and install the stock drivers from LG’s site
http://tool.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=UW00120120425
2) Download and install the LG F3 Flash Utility. Do not run the application after it installs. After the installation there is a MegaLock.dll file in the zip. Copy this over to the installation directory of the flash utility (C:\LG\LGFlashTool)
http://oudhitsquad.com/android/LGE/Firmware/LS720/LS720ZV5_00.zip
3) Create a folder on your desktop called LG
4) Download and then extract to the LG directory the Dll for the Flash Tool Utility
http://tool.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=CT109876368442163684421/[LGFLASHv151]LGLS720_20130509_Download.zip
5) Download and then extract to the LG directory the stock ROM
http://oudhitsquad.com/android/LGE/Firmware/LS720/LS720ZV5_00.zip
6) Power off your LG phone
7) While holding the up volume button, connect the phone to your computer via the micro USB cable. You should hear the USB connection activating and if this is the first time connecting it, will see a configuring device message (at least in Windows 8). On the screen of the phone you should now see “Download Mode” DO NOT UNPLUG the device until the process is complete.
8) Open device manager and expand ports (COM & LPT). Expand this and you should now see your com ports. Double click the “LGE Android Platform USB Serial port”.

Click the port setting tab, then the advanced button. Change the COM Port number to 41 like below. Click ok twice and close device manager.
This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image.
9) Next Launch the LG Flash utility. On the pop-up for the model config, click the “Select Manual Mode”. For the Dll, select the LGLS720_20130509_LGFLASHv151.dll that we download to the LG folder on the desktop. For the S/W select the ROM that we downloaded to the LG folder LS720ZV5_00.bin. Ensure that the connection mode is set to USB and the Upgrade DL is selected. Click OK.
10) On the main screen of the LG flash utility press the yellow right arrow button. When it says “Ready!!” in yellow, disconnect your phone from the USB cable. ***LEAVE THE LG FLASH UTILITY RUNNING ****
11) Disconnect the USB cable from the phone. Wait 5 seconds.
12) Connect the phone back to the USB cable. The flash utility should start updating the firmware and show a percentage. Once it hits around 85% the phone will reboot. You can now disconnect and close out of the Utility.
LG Tool
Hello,
Would like to know is anyone can help me out with this problem. Please not I am running Windows 8.1 pro 64bit laptop
I have installed the LG Flash tool kit. Followed directions. put phone in download mode and changed pot to 41 and MagaLock.dill was not in the download but checked and it was installed. Opeded LG Flash Tool and it says LG USB/Parallel Lock Key is not detected. So I click ok and brings me to a login box with country, ID and password.
Just do not know what went wrong. Thanks in advance for any help.
Hey Cris, I'm sure you've solved this by now but for anyone else, with the LG Flash Tool, you get prompts upon opening if you DON'T copy the MegaLock.dll into the application folder. Also, the first part about the Optimus F3 not having a category is a good point, it has enough posts to warrant one. Anyone know how to make it?
The url link to get your copy of the stock ROM for the Optimus F3 (LS720) (Sprint) on oudhitsquad.com is broken because the domain name is gone. Can you please re-post it somewhere else so we all can try it out? Also, any problem with using TWRP to install the ROM instead?
Yeah, can someone please reupload the LG F3 Flash Utility? Looks like http://oudhitsquad.com/ isn't coming back. The only other place I can find LS720ZV5_00.zip is some Chinese site where you have to pay to join.
I'm looking for a stock FreedomPop ROM also, my LG Optimus F3 LS720VSLR (LS720ZV8) is bricked and my backups (3 of them!) are all corrupt.

Hi everyone. I have everything to get these phones up and running again uploaded to https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=127434
Flash Tool w/megalock, LG Driver, Stock ROM (v7, take the OTA to v8, then root/install NoQ-Slide APK in place of original apk in /system/apps if you want)
You should also be able to just flash the stock rom and install the FreedomPop Apps to get back to the freedompop functionality. (these are the Virgin Mobile phones I have.
I've never bothered with TWRP on these phones - didn't have much luck with it a few years ago.
Hope this helps Let me know how things are going. I just dusted off these F3s and redid them for little handhelds. I have way too many phones ;(

Thanks for your uploads. I actually already found a stock FreedomPop ROM elsewhere. My FreedomPop phone came with TWRP 2.8.0.0 installed - the FP phones are already rooted. I don't know if any later versions of TWRP support this model.
Interestingly, I found that FreedomPop got a little too aggressive with de-bloating. Some missing lockscreen functionality (independent wallpaper and variable position pattern lock) can be recovered by installing the appropriate system files (LockScreen3.apk and LockScreen3.odex) from a Sprint ROM. This is a good security feature that IMO should not have been removed; if your lock pattern is always in the same place, it eventually becomes easier for someone to get into your phone by "reading" the pattern from wear on the screen or screen guard. I also restored a few other missing standard apps that I find useful, such as the generic email app, alarm clock, memo, voice recorder and weather apps.

That's great brother, I got this tablet sometime ago, sadly my son has broken it's WiFi, most probably hardware issue. I need to root it to be able to use reverse tethering on the device through USB. I have a little bit of experience rooting, I have two other rooted androids in the house, but could you please help me with Bin4ry Root Tool as I have never used it?
Specially with X817.

Hey
I did not use Bin4ry tool for long time but i guess it is shown in the window how to do the root
it is super easy to use don,t worry
and for the wifi issue i had it in my tab
you will see a cable connected to a sort of sticker it is golden colored
the wifi is poor because the gold cable is probably cutted

Dear Adnan,
I search whole web and found that you are the only one who claim to root Xtouch x817 tablet. If this is correct, would you like to describe it further (how you do that). Actually i have 2 piece of this tablet and both looks bricked to me. i want to know how i can restore them on factory settings.

Hey, well it was pretty straight forward. the table uses no security methods or whatsoever like locked bootloaders etc. so we can root it using any generic tool. for example. Bin4ry root tool .which is the one i used .
I did alot of searches and saw people use generic android drivers . the trick was. download generic drivers using any android managing tool such as moborobo or Wondershare MobileGo for android. then let it install the drivers . and then you need to navigate to
c:\windows\users\{your user}\.android\
inside it you will find this file "adb_usb.ini"
If not then make one.
type this in it 0x2207 and save the file
then enabled USB Debugging
and opened bin4ry and rooted it using that tool
the hard part is to get the drivers working. thats it
about your bricked device, check their site
to download the firmware and the tool. they got a really good manual to restore the tablet

Thanks for the advice, I checked the product website and am still with stand empty hands. The XTouch (UAE) website remove this model & its support. The Nigerian website has this model but they don't provide any support, infect their support page does not exist (beyond the link). I want to know that can i get its firmware and toolkit from any other source.
BTW i managed to restore one piece, however the other set is still dead for me :crying:

I just checked the UAE site. and yeah apperantly they removed the device . pretty bad, but i think if you contacted the support they may give you the link to the download site ( it is in Chinese so i don,t really think you will find it in ease)
I had the files before but the HDD the contains them died.
KingSing S2, LG G3/G2 Clone? KnockOn, 4.4 Kitkat, Backside buttons [Unboxing & Test]
KingSing S2 Black, LG G3/G2 Clone? KnockOn, 4.4 Kitkat, Backside buttons
Unboxing & First Hands One
Full Review (check the video description on Youtube for MORE info)
Pros & Cons
+ Buttons on the back as on the LG G2 / G3
+ Android 4.4.2 KitKat (Google Camera works) / Playstore
+ KnockOn, to wake the S2 from the stand-by mode
+ Guest mode works!
+ UI / Layout very close to what can be found on the LG G2 / G3
+ 1:1 LG G2 dialer
+ Quick Gesture entry when the screen is off, eg W is Web browser, C Clock, etc.
+ 5 inch QHD IPS with 960x540 pixels only, but the screen ist still colorful and well
+ MTK6582 1.3Ghz Quad Core, 1GB RAM / 8GB ROM - phone is smooth!
+ 4-way Air gestures, Air-accept call, video smart pause, Palm motion
- 8MP camera, the camera is not worth mentioning, is average
- WiFi is ok, but could be faster / stronger
- Heart rate sensor (Fake or Real? - I have my doubt)
ROOT
I rooted it with the "read back" root method. MTK droid Tools & SP Flash Tool.

Post #1 also now updated with a full in-depth REVIEW, enjoy
Very nice s7yler, that'sa good and interesting phone. When you sucessfully got root it, maybe I can try to theme the phone for you. Also made it on my HDC Note 3.
just ordered mine from DHgate, Excited:fingers-crossed:
Poor 3G reception.
Hi,
I've received my S2 4 day ago.
It's wonderfull, very little, fast enought...
But I've big problem with 3g reception: very very poor!
Only if it is closed to the cell bridge you have a good signal, otherwise it change in GSM mode.
Compared with my ZTE V970 (not a champion!) it have 15 dB less in 3G mode!
So it's unusable!
GPS and WiFi is weak too.
No problem in GSM mode.
Have you same problem?
Thanks.
EDIT:
SOLVED!!!
I've opened my phone, and view that internal side of film antenna for GSM (that's for 3G too) was a little crooked; I've detached and re-attached it properly. NOW MY PHONE WORK PRETTY-WELL IN 3G NOTWORKS!
It's not a champion of reception, but it's usable now!
I'm happy...
:victory:

3G depends on what frequency/network your carrier uses. It can be different from carrier to carrier or country to country.
Mine is always connected to 3G (here in Germany), but I agree that the signal is stronger with GSM only. GPS is ok, not the fastest though, the same with the WiFi, the range is good enough, but I also could wish the speed was faster.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/ibcps7yv6sdwbmv/SystemUI.apk
Thanks S7yler, i've themed the SystemUI, to have the G3 look on Toogles of status bar.
If you want try, simply put this modded systemUI on the same priv-app folder, and set permissions to rw-r-r, maybe during the process the phone will reboot before you put permissions, but will but normally. Anyway, if you wanna try this. Have a good backup of your Rom in hands to flash if something goes wrong, and also backup the SystemUI.apk, you already has it on mediafire, btw it's up to you.
If you try this, let me know if you like, and show some screens. You can theme more the notification bar, with the XBlast tool for Xposed.
firmware ?
hello, anyone has the opportunity to find firmware for this device? and impossible to do root !! someone is successful?
thanks
The rom you can download from here kingsing.hk/services but S2 not avalible, among other.
s7yler how you root your S2 ? I do with difficulties "read back" method to read S2 rom and flash recovery, but I do it. Now I can't boot recovery, only factory mode...
With vRoot install vRoot apk, can't install supersu and root checker says "not root"
TowelRoot not work
How you root it? :good:

It rooted it via this guide from Itxtutor (with the read back method)
http://www.china-devices.com/Thread-100-Working-ROOT-CWM-Readback-your-ROM-with-SP-Flash-Tools
The complicated part can be to find the correct HEX numbers, and connect the phone so it begins the readback process. I did it yesterday and struggled almost 1 hour with it to connect correct and start the process, but it did work in the end. (the tricky part on that phone was that I had to hold volume UP down while inserting the battery and the USB cable, and then the readback process would start without any errors, before that it always stopped up with some strange BROM/DRAM error).
Also in step 8 in Itxtutors written guide, you need to flash both the patched BOOTIMG and RECOVERY, not only the RECOVERY (as his guide only shows). Else it will not work.
Also a tip is, if it SP Flash Tool crashes, then try another version of SP Flash Tool, I have 3 versions to try with. SP Flash Tool 3.1352.01, SP Flash Tool 3.1344.0.212 and SP Flash Tool 5.1348.00, and you can also try another USB port.
Thanks for your advice s7yler!
Yes I follow Itxtutor steps, but I flash only recovery and only boot in recovery line :silly: ... ok ok!
Preloader is no stable, on off constantly, I have tried different drivers ... I have tried volume buttons but not result
I use SP 5.1352.01
Method 100% - Battery inserted, plug USB, appears green battery, (now do it fast) unplug USB, battery disappears, push download in SP, plug USB
I flash recovery and bootimg separately, two times, both times without error.
Now I hope my CWM.... volume down factory mode, volumen up nothing. I try read rom again.
UPDATE
Finaly I rooted, mtk droid tools detected how root green (rootcheker no) and I use it to reboot to recovery (I can't enter only with phone) , without install nothing automaticaly appears supersu 1.86, root explorer,... now rootcheker says yes, I update supersu... root ok
Now I have other problem, when I disable usb debugging, phone restarts

Why disable usb debugging? just let it be on, it does no harm. I even heard that some phones (other models) should run better with usb debugging set to on.

Yeah thats exactly what I thought. I know it's not fine see one error like that on the phone. But just ignore it a lot of things and tool need USB debug and let it on forever will not affect nothing in the device
Thanks
s7yler, please make a backup of your rom, with mtkdroid, since you're able to perform root?

I don't have access to sd card or internal storage when try via usb. This happened when have usb debugging activated, I remember this from android 4.2. Now in 4.4.2 can't transfer files directly from pc.
The one I actually own it the first listed in the parenthesis, Apex Solo 7.85 inch TMAX Digital TM785CH. But the NuVision TM785M3 is identical down to using the exact same manual with only the title page different. The ACER A1-830 is very similar.

He/she took the tool down!
I recently recommended the TMax Solo TM785CH to an older woman who needed a bigger screen cheap. As of this very moment WalMart has them for $54.99.
So I needed to root it. Fortunately I kept a copy of the tool and am posting a link here for whoever might still need it.

I'm so glad someone else got this tablet!
On the apex, after rooting, were u able to use busybox on it? I was wondering cux the only reason i want root is to be able to sync app data across devices via datasync app. Well...cyanogenmod would be nice too but i dont think that will ever happen.
Works on APEX Solo7i (TM772) tablet
THANK YOU!!!!! As my username suggests, I have little to no experience with Android. I used these instructions and was able to root and install SuperSU on my tablet. I have spent days searching to the end of the internet and back and couldn't find much of any info on this tablet. As I am going to be using it as my Car-fo-tainment system, i needed to root and install custom kernel(s) to interface multiple USB devices and charge simultaneously.
Anyhow, I just wanted to let everyone else know that this works for the TM772 as well (KitKat with Intel Atom Clovertrail) since I anticipate more and more people will be working with this tab given the Black Friday deals. THANKS A MILLION!
Download and install PDAnet to both your computer and tablet.
Download and install SuperSu and RootChecker to the tablet and KingoRoot to your computer.
On Tablet:
Turn on USB debugging. Settings > Developer tools > USB debugging.
Connect to your PC via any USB port > Turn on USB Storage > Open PDAnet > Activate USB Tether.
On PC:
You may have to connect PDAnet on your PC but mine did it automatically when I activated USB tether on my tablet. Then open Kingo Root, click root and pay attention to your tablet because a little window will pop up asking to grant permission to SuperSu. I missed it the first few times and had to start over. Once you see that and allow permission, open rootchecker on your tablet and verify. With any good fortune you'll see Congrats! you're rooted!
I tried using this method, but when I got to the CWM Recovery screen, my volume buttons didn't work. Now they won't work at all even booted up. Any ideas? I have a stock image for the 4.4.2 but don't know how to flash it work fastboot.

I have the same problem.. I finally got to the tethered CWM screen, but was disappointed when I tried using the volume rocker to scroll down to "Root phone and reboot" All I could do was press the power button which corresponded to "Reboot without Root". So when I restarted I was surprised that the volume keys don't work at all anymore. Maybe I can flash stock image using fastboot but as a noob, I do not know the step by step instructions to do so. Any Ideas?
TM772 everything works but no root
I got a APEX Solo7i TM772, it was unused by family and I took it over after my poor Nexus 7 2012 died (RIP). I tried both the old myKIT_BATCH and the replacement IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015 from Intel Android Devices Root / Temp Recovery Session.
My TM772 stats:
Android 4.4.2
IFWI version: F9.EE
Kernel: 3.10.20 [email protected] #5
Build: Weibu Firmware For 70v 20140902
With IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015 using the T1, T2 or T4 options I can get TWRP loaded. Then I install UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip. Everything goes well with no errors or problems and SuperSu is installed, but I run Root Checker it says I'm not rooted and SuperSu can't update.
I'm a little less inclined to root it because I was able to delete all the bloat with TWRPs file manager but getting to the last step with no errors but still failing is really annoying.
Hello!
Kingo Root also roots this tablet nicely.
What *I* need is a way to extract the ROM from an identical 785M3 tablet and reflash another one that's bricked. Can anyone here help me with THAT?
The South Asians at NuVision won't provide me a ROM image, but they WILL charge me $40 to reflash it.
I know, I know.. We should nuke India and start over, while making them think it was Pakistan...

Hello good afternoon
sorry for the inconvenience.
Could you help me.
with my tablet with intel z2520
I already did all the ways to be root.
but nothing works.
I'm starting to lose all hope in this device...
I bought my phone from, what I thought, was an official Xiaomi online store, my mistake, buyer beware, lesson learned. However. I have the phone, I like the form factor and all that, and the thought of trying to get a return from a Chinese company sounds like the kind of hassle I don't want to deal with. I'm well experienced in rooting/flashing devices (Nexus 5, OnePlus 2, OnePlus X, Xperia Z5c). I've done it a thousand times on these devices.
My new Mi5S came with "MIUI Global 8.6 | Stable 8.6.10.0(RM1100)" preinstalled.
I only found out after I bought it that the reseller installed this version. They apparently did this so they can make it a global rom. They installed Google play services, Play Store, removed chinese apps and made English the default language. That's great and all, but they also have the Locale setting locked in as China. It's unchangeable. And installing Google Launcher from the Play Store doesn't work (yet Pixel Launcher, downloaded from the web, works fine). Not a huge deal I guess.
Anyway, long story longer, I'm trying to unlock the bootloader.
I got permission, downloaded the Unlocker, VolDown+Power into Fastboot and ran the MiFlash unlocker.
It goes to 50% and then says "Couldn't verify device". That's where I'm stuck.
I've tried everything I can think of, and I just can't unlock the Bootloader.
Is anyone else having this same issue? Has anyone found a way to get TWRP on here?
Had the same issue when unlocking mine - two things worth checking: firstly, make sure the phone is signed in to the same Mi account that you have permission on (you can check it's "properly" linked by going to i.mi.com and clicking Find Device - if it shows as online, you're good). You don't need to use the Mi account at all after this, so once it's unlocked you can unlink and delete the account if you like.
Secondly, make sure the PC you're using has compatible ADB drivers on it - when it's linked by USB in FastBoot mode, make sure that it shows correctly in device manager. I had some weirdness with the previous global driver (still don't know why) and only ended up succeeding when I reinstalled straight from device manager.

I have verified that I'm using the proper account and that Mi Cloud sees my device as online.
Could you clarify which driver you ended up using?
You cannot unlock bootlader that easy. (Ive own mi5)... my english is not very good so i cannot describe all steps. Just find how to unlock mi5 bootloader. You have to request from xiaomi to let you unlock it. !!! AND I SEE NO PROBLEM HERE.

I already have permission. Still doesn't work.
I used the driver from here: http://www.xiaomi.cn/content-19-6735-1.html - direct file link is http://bigota.d.miui.com/tools/xiaomi_usb_driver.rar
So, check this out. I loaded up the Mi PC software and instead of just clicking on R.Flash, I held shift then clicked R.Flash. It popped up a file select box and I was able to choose the official chinese ROM. It then installed it! No issues or anything. Once it was finished and it booted, I did a factory reset. The initial setup screen ran and I got in to the phone. I installed the Google Play Installer from the Mi Store and that was that.
I now have 8.0.10.0.
Didn't need to unlock the bootloader or anything.
*phew*

You've actually completed the first step in unlocking your bootloader - you need to make sure you are using an official ROM and not a so called "Vendor ROM".
I am still waiting patiently for my Mi5s to get here...
If "fastboot devices" shows your mi5s in fastboot mode right before unlocking - then you have the right driver and the 50% problem should be solved.

You can unlock in vendor rom..
Without unlocking you should be able to flash official rom using miflash/fastboot
Vendor rom updater/recovery may not word (did not work for me) to update to official chinese rom..

any funky method you have to install the driver? i am struggling here. adb is fine, but fastboot shows no devices. have tried every driver i can find including above!
edit - for the record i disabled driver signature verification in win10 and installed the above drivers, and still no luck. here is my cmd output

when it reboot into fastboot a new driver installed on windows and i can see the android bootloader interface in device manager but still no fastboot. weird? also miflash is showing the device when the phone is in fastboot.
---------- Post added 28th October 2016 at 00:33 ---------- Previous post was 27th October 2016 at 23:37 ----------
ok fixed the driver problem. for anyone else stumbling across this:
reboot to fastboot mode, then in device manager update the bootloader interface driver with the google driver that comes inside the C:\XiaoMi\XiaoMiFlash\Source\ThirdParty\Google\Driver folder. (you need to have miflash installed obviously)
note that windows10 you may have to disable driver signature verification for this.
:good:
I got my phone today and had the same problem but i solved it at last, i installed the chinese dev rom and then it worked to unlock the bootloader and i have installed xiaomi.eu rom and works great.
I had the same issue, for me it was indeed the fastboot driver.
The solution for me was to put phone in fastboot, connected usb.
In device manager you have to look android bootloader interface, deinstall, and let windows install driver itself.
For me that was the solution...
From what i have read everywhere, using a windows 7 machine instead off windows 10 will solve the issue for sure

I was using a windows 10 machine, but i didnt succeed severall times.
The thing i did was trying to unlock, 50% error, then boot the phone, turned off find Mi phone, rebooted, tried again still no go, rebooted again, tunred on find Mi phone again, then tried unlocking again...: Eureka!!
That was the solution, so i tried that on a different machine with no drives installed at all!!
Hello guys,
I received the following unbrick tool from my supplier in Shenzhen - China and wanted to share it with you since I noticed that many people are desperate to fix their RM6 and swap it to EU.
The process is super easy:
1) Download & extract the following .zip
https://mega.nz/file/ntBSxDKa#h9vUPGoWVyqtyDYWYmSgz8bE1_vNimBMAqTp9csvv-w
2) Make sure all the drivers are installed correctly (Qualcomm, EDL etc...)
3) Open the MiTool application
4) in MiTool, select the folder images
5) Put your phone in EDL mode
6) Once connected, Click flash - the brushing process will start automatically.
7) Once done, force reset and Voilà!
There's an alternative as well: MultiportQLoader
I haven't tried it myself, feel free to try it and share the steps.
Im sorry if any details aren't clear, but I'm typing this while driving xD
Good luck and would appreciate a shout-out on insta @Out.Geeked ^^
THANK YOU SIR
To ask a dumb question, but is this only the 6 or for the pro as well?
Works for both
Thank you so much, it work after someone help me erase flash

Yeah I checked the model number against the box it came in and gave it a shot, now it shows the RM logo and then reboots to the bootloader lmao this phone legit hates me
*edit*
So I think either I'm doing something wrong or this phone is actually messed up. Checked the drivers, tried 2 other cables, all my USB ports and still all it does is briefly show the white "System Rebooting" screen and then the RM logo for about 20 seconds and then reboots to fastboot/bootloader.
MiFlash shows "couldn't find flash script" but otherwise looks like it goes through the reflash process completely but QLoader always fails with an error "Unknown chunk type cac2"
Does this unbrick method require the bl to be unlocked?
anyone lost their imei after doing this? hahahha
i did lost my imei, but manage to repair it but... it still doesnt detect mobile network idk what to do now lol

According to the file name, it's EU V3.10.
I thought we should apply the NA/Asia version.

[Guide] Restore Lost IMEIs / Repair Network or Radio Issues
I accidentally restored TWRP backup of another Zuk Z2 phone on my new pgone and in this process over-wrote the EFS partition. This left me with a phone having no IMEI, no mac for Wifi and Bluetooth. Effectively No Network on phone. Worried, I...
forum.xda-developers.com
this maybe work, havent test it out
Since we have the partition layout & the correct firehose, it should actually be a good practice by anyone wanting to play with their phone (BL unlock, root, dev, etc) to first dump the critical partitions.
That way, you can always restore. Example: EFS, misc, persist, etc.

Select the images folder and then hit flash.
Mine is alive again, no more problems.
I think I know why a lot of people have probably bricked their device after flash from CN to Global. If you do a local update, let the device REboot until the end. After the restart it uses the update.zip again. I think a lot of people did a factory reset immediately after the reboot (like me in Recovery) and the system can no longer find the update.zip.
Therefore, let the update run through, reboot until you are back in the system. Then you can do a factory reset.
