Rooted E988 updated via ota - bricked - LG Optimus G Pro

Hello,
A friend of mine updated his phone after I rooted it. End result is a brick only booting into CWM. I tried flashing a KDZ with no luck, it wont flash no matter what I do. Any options? Could I download a ROM and place it on an external SD and flash it? would that work?
just want it to boot really. thanks

Yeah rom should work.

^^ That's what I'd do. ^^

Bricked E975

Hi there folks
I rooted my LGOG with the motochopper method and it gave me a lovely rooted device.
Then i decided to install Rom Manager and grant it super user acces.
When i rebooted after the rom manager had downloaded the recovery files it got stuck at
"secure booting error!"
Cause : boot certification verify
My problem now is ive got all the tutorial files found in this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010624 post, but the original firmware program doesn't connect to the lg servers with my model number and IMEI.
Could someone with an E975 help me with a stock kdz so i can save whats left of the brick, it can stil do download mode etc and switch off.
Thanks in advance

PM'd
Here you GO
http://www.lg-phones.org/official-stock-lg-optimus-g-firmware-rom.html
Well, maybe you will not get errors next time if you UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER.Only rooting is not enough. You need root to be able to use FREEGEE,to unlock the bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader with freegee will also flash CWM recovery or TWRP, depending on your choice.
See what happens when you don't document yourself properly before trying to do things?
All is fine now, i couldn't download the KDZ since i edited my host file when flashing the L9 two months back.
Im waiting on the freegee support now. cheers

[Q] How to upgrade LG Optimus G Pro to KitKat if not on AT&T

I have bought an unlocked LG Optimus G Pro and am using it on T-Mobile. It's on JB version 4.1.2. I know AT&T has rolled out KitKat upgrade for Optimus G Pro. I tried to update the software on my phone but it kept saying "Phone not registered to network". I went to LG support page and they redirected me to AT&T for software upgrade. There is no manual download link for the upgrade and AT&T page says it will happen OTA and must have active sim card in it[which I guess means Active ATT sim card].
My question is:
->Is it possible to upgrade it to 4.4.2 version that AT&T has pushed without being on AT&T?
->If so, where can I find the stock/untouched 4.4.2 ROM?
Thanks in advance. Sorry, if this is a repeat question but I did search the threads and didn't find this question anywhere.
Its not completely untouched, but its stock 4.4.2 with a few added features like Slide Aside:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2781401
To install this you need to be rooted and have clockworkmod recovery installed. (This will void your warranty!)
If you install this rom on the international version make sure you delete the modem.img in the zip before flashing throught cwm.
But never install the firmware (kdz) from another model with the lg flash tools, i tried this once and it Hard Bricked my phone
But if you like AT&T bloat and dont want a few more G2 features you can ty this rom:

Thank you very much. Never rooted Android, will look in to the links you have sent to try to figure something out!
But if you dont want to get any trouble with the first rom i sent you should delete the recovery.img, aboot.img and the modem.img because without this i figured out that it can cause Problems where the phone does not either boot or go in recovery. I just want to save you from this Problem because it can be tricky to restore the phone with the LG flash Tool.

Ouch!!!!
I am a root n00b. Is there any thread that can guide me to how to root, how to install a ROM and how to revert back to original rom in step by step way :S
Sorry for this question, but seems like XDA has become too big to search these smaller things now

Thanks! I bought a brand new Sprint LG G2 and used 1.62FacedRom to flash it for T-Mobile and is working perfectly even though i have a feeling the speaker output is very low.

[Q] NEED SUPPORT on Bootloop Problem after Flashing Custom Rom

Hi, I made a mistake flashing gomdolight wave on my lg g pro f240k stock rom. I was on Kitkat stock rom and flashed gomdolight which i believe is intended for JB only. After flashing, my phone got stuck on bootloop. I tried to download and flash another version of gomdolight which is intended for Kitkat but still, bootlooped again. What should I do? Can I flash other custom roms instead? Thanks in advance for those who would help.

First go in your recovery (if you did not install one download and install)
wipe / data
wipe / cache
wipe / davilk
wipe / system
ok, download a custom stock rom and place on your SD, this can be here
(make sure it's rom works on your device, it is 32gb or 16gb, if not this rom, look for one that is installed by the recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419802
put it in the right place (follow the tutorial that is in the link)
Note: you will not install it by zip, will make a recovery.
Now that you have solved the problem of bootloop ..
You must return your original rom, for that you'll have to use the FashTools
Here in this link has step by step.

Hi, thanks for the tip. However, I checked the link you gave me. It's for E988 or 85. Will it work for me? Im using F240K.

Sorry, TOT is for E980, you need to use KDZ for your model. Tehre is a thread in the forum with all the kdz and tot files for the g pro.

I Have LG E989 (brazil) and this rom work in my phone...
after all... all roms is compatible... but... the modem is other...
Use this rom... u need recovery any stock. After you stay in stock is possible u use KDZ files.. (FlashingTools)
I solved it!
Thanks to everyone who replied! I already solved it.
What I did, was flash a stock e980 version via KDZ Flasher, then I re-flashed back to my stock f240k. It worked, all signals were back.
I'm now proceeding on upgrading to Kitkat. Thanks again.

[Q] bricked sprint lg g2

i have a bricked sprint lg g2 (rooted) is there a way to fix it other than flash the 2 giga rom with lg tool because i am in an isolated area with very limited speed thank you
No, not really. Bricked, kind of limits it.
Only little thing I can think if for you was maybe if it went to stock recovery if you wanted to try adb side load of the same ROM you were on modem wise. Zvà or zvc. But that is no guarantee.

i think stock recovery will not install other than non modified stock rom (the official TOT file)
another question about the bricked g2
i have access to download mode the G2 is rooted moded but in stock rom 4.4.2 zvc no custom recovery no custom rom so the question is
can i force the lg mobile support tool to give me the zvd or the zve update from the net so that i return to a working state. thank you

I had the same issue, if you can boot into your rom then your only bet is to install AutoRec.apk and it will flash TWRP recovery. Get a recovery on there first, so you could at least intall a custom rom, until you get what you need. Do not wipe your device, because you won't be able to intall the drivers you need to get you out of your mess. If you want to go back to stock after you get a recovery on your device, you'll need the nessassary tools to flash the tot file, but the tot file takes a while to download and you said your connection was not good in your area. I have all the tools you need to flash back to stock, and I have ZVA, ZVC, and ZVE tot files. I could upload them to Mega for you, if you don't have a account then get one, they give you 50Gbs, free. Let me know.

Unbricking is not required if you can get into download mode.
In download mode, just flash TWRP or Philz Touch, boot to recovery, and flash a custom ROM. Flash supersu from recovery for root access.
Everythings taken care of already, thanks though// =]
Was your phone hard bricked?

Remember to be polite when posting .......... to answer the TWRP Question ....... going forward TWRP is really the only stable recovery program for 4.XX the CWM has issues on many devices in Jellybean forward....... FYI
2nd thing most of the comments helping you are correct. The worst case scenario is in a hard brick you would need a Jtag to get into download mode ..... but if you can without it there is always a fix .......
One other thing .....going from JB to KK the bootloader is different framework so, there is a special flash for upgrading to that the 1st time be informed...... FYI
