[Q] Looking for original e973 firmware

I have an unlocked E973 and I am using it with Virgin. The phone came with software version E97310g and I can't root using Bin4ry's method, so I need the original firmware. I have tried using the methods in the unbricking thread to download from LG's servers but unfortunately my IMEI will not work. So my question is does it matter whether I choose a telus or bell firmware? Will I have to SIM unlock the phone again after flashing the old firmware?
Hopefully someone can kindly provide an E973 IMEI or a mirror to the firmware I need. Thanks in advance!

Update:
I am going to try the stock bell firmware E97310f from this post. I guess I will just find out if it works with my Virgin SIM after I flash it.

Well no luck with the Bell firmware as the updater gives "PHONE NOT FOUND", whenever I try flashing. Guess I am out of luck . It's too bad cause this phone is pretty nice . Maybe I will trade for an S3.

I can give you a rootable telus kdz file.

Yup, you should be able to use the Telus firmware.
Use lgnpost with phone in download mode. should be good instructions on the unbrick thread.

Well don't I need a .tot to use LGNPST not a .kdz? Also the unbrick thread doesn't have instructions for using LGNPST .I have a Bell .tot but I haven't tried flashing it because some other e973 users reported it not working with LGNPST because of a .dll compatibility issue.
I have however already tried using the LG tool in that unbrick thread, but I can't get it to recognize my phone. Unfortunately I don't think it matters what .KDZ I have because the tool itself isn't working. Maybe I will just try LGNPST and see if it works for me.
update: So just tried using LGNPST and it doesn't recognize my phone either. I tried with the phone set to LG Software, with and without usb debugging, and I also tried with the phone in download mode. This is what it gives me:

you should be able to use kdz updater, with a kdz file that is. i have no experience using lgnpst.

I have tried that LG kdz updater with a bell kdz but it doesn't even recognize the phone. It says PHONE NOT FOUND

Can anyone provide a working link to the E97310F KDZ file, please? The one here is no longer (publicly) active.

Edit: Actually I do have the F file.. I am trying to locate a suitable upload location now.. will post up once its available.

Thank you! That's amazing, I'd really appreciate it.

Okay I have packaged the kdz file and also included the KDZ upload tool to use. It is in two parts and is rarred.. simply unpack the folder and the kdz and you should be good to go.

Sure thing, lemme know if you have any trouble with it.. I may be able to lend a hand.. I've relied on reformatting my phone several times after performing a bunch of hacks which caused a variety of boot issues.

If the phone is not recognised in KDZ
You might need to install the XML parser. Just run the msxml.msi install before starting KDZ.

Official v20a 4.4.2 EUR KDZ available

Yes it is the same base, but it has less bloat than in carriers builds. Also boot animation is pure LG.

For now the only career builds that were launched was Vodafone and the only thing different was the boot and shutdown animation that included the Vodafone logo.
Everything else is the same.
You could have posted this on other thread already open but that's just me saying.
I'm not criticizing but if every time a build is launched and everything is the same as others, and everyone opens threads for that then we will have many fragmented and useless threads.
Cheers

Maybe someone will find a way to activate it.

Can I flash this ROM on my Brazilian LG-E977 phone? If so, I'm currently using CWM 11 M8, do I need to get to stock JB first? I have backup of EFS (3 .img files) + flashable modem.

Hi,
I just updated my brothers Optimus G E975 with this firmware and it works like a charm. And this is also the first time I encountered flashing an LG phone, so I am kind of a newbie, here . I did it by folowing this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190&highlight=root) metodh. And in that thread there is a debate about red ROOTED signal in download mode after using that tool on G2, something like samsung flash counter on SGS2 if I am correct? Anyway, I am wondering does this affect Optimus G too? Because I wouldn't like to have any problems if I ever had to take that phone to service centre.
Sorry for bad english and thanks for help.

Hi,
I read somewhere that optimus g hasn't any flash counter. I send my g to service cause radio error. G was flashed several times and before sendig to service just reverted to stock via kdz flash. They send me back my phone with new mainboard. So i think they can't check how many times you flash it.

H815 Upgrading from LP to MM via LGUP ! Please help out

can any one help me out ? i am trying to upgrade my G4 from LP to MM. Currently on H81510H, i have tried flashing with 2 different MM KDZ's V20D & V20i but couldn't succeed. LGUP throwing some error at 9% stating that "tot anti rollback version is smaller than device version"
i vexed up reading all the info and finally failed to flash kdz to my device. always getting the same error any inputs from you guys. would be very helpful for me. what am i doing wrong ?

When using LG UP did you use Refurbished or Upgrade option? You should try Refurbished, but you will lose your data, so do a backup first.

something weird is going on... because all the H815 (EU anyway...) KDZs are at ARB 00. Yet his phone is at ARB 02.
So it's some sort of different variant or something. All the KDZs he's trying to use are at 00 but he's at 02... so every KDZ he tries is gonna have same error until he finds a KDZ for his exact bizarro variant with ARB 02.
AFAIK all H815's were always at 00 so not really sure what's going on in this unique case.

Thanks for the confirmation. I was thinking the same thing, that only US carriers had the anti-rollback rolled-in.
@SandyKick, did you ever flash a KDZ or TOT, NOT intended for your phone model?

@waylo @autoprime thank you so much guys..for your time.
As this is a new one im still with LP OS that came with the phone only. So didnt flashed any kdz or tot to this mobile. Attaching images of my phone info...

Dear SandyKick!
Did you find any KDZ or TOT with ARB 2 or greater? I have the same problem. I want to upgrade my H815 from LP 10H to MM. But LGUP says that anti roll back version is smaller than the device version. And all the KDZs or TOTs of H815 out there are with ARB = 00.
Any solution please???
EDIT: There is something very weird with this phone that I have purchased second-hand. LGUP shows it as H815 10h, while the phone itself shows in the Download Mode H810 10o. And last but not least, the LG Mobile Support Tool (predecessor of LG Bridge tool) shows the current firmware version as H815 10h but says that an updated firmware with version VS986 24c is available!!! Someone has really messed it up before selling it to me.
---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 AM ----------
By the way I have downloaded a TOT with version H815 10H but with ARB 00 from here also available here. Is it possible to hex-edit its ARB version or not???

Here is what I got after dialing *#*#244773825625#*#*

seems to me you guys have a frankenphone... its says in software a model but it also says another .. so to be sure open up phone .. take out motherboard and read the motherboard plaque model number ... maybe its not a h815 after all. if it says h811 then you use h811 if it says h810 use h810. ect.

Check out this OP: kdz, tot LG G4 [All Variants] (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/kdz-tot-lg-g4-variants-t3362423).
There is a link provided for the H81510h: TOT H815 10h ==>> https://www.fshare.vn/file/JCUY1W7YZTSC/
Suspect in the event your ROM hasn't become corrupted and re-installing the same version doesn't help, you may have a hardware issue.

You can use either of these two methods:
LGUP - NEW!!! - INSTALL KDZ - MM or LP - FACTORY RESET/UPGRADE at https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
LG Flash Tool 2014 - The best way to Flash LG KDZ Rom at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
I would suggest using LGUP-NEW first as it tends to cause fewer issues.
Don't forget the Thanks button ... when you're asking for and receiving help.

As most users complain about only seeing a TOT file on the selection window in LGUP-NEW and not the KDZ they want to flash (until they read the posts and figure out how to direct to their file) I don't see why it wouldn't but, to be sure, post your question to the author of the site from the OP to get a more definitive answer. I personally have only used it to flash a KDZ file myself.

Only way is to find an H81510h file with an anti-rollback version that isn't smaller than the one you're on now. You'll have to search for it and perhaps put a request in at kdz, tot LG G4 [All Variants] (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/...iants-t3362423). Access your hidden menu and see what your current roll-back version is so you can be specific.

If you can still get into download mode, it's not dead. If you can get into download mode, look for the right rom for your device or try again and make sure you follow the instruction exactly . Try the other method as well to install if that doesn't work.
I've only tried to help and if you'd done your own searches you most likely would have had the issue develop at some point trying to find the right stock rom.

Thanks but how do we get the mega lock software?

need DLL model too for flash using LG Flash Tool and DLL is different from that used for LGUP
Hope this thread has no Paid Requests....

I think this is outdated and people should use LGUP. To download your firmware you can plug your phone into LG Bridge and click on error recovery. It fails on download for me but if it doesn't then it'll download it there for you. Otherwise you can fake your User Agent with a chrome extension and look at the LG Bridge log for the link to download the firmware. As for the LGUP dll you can use a kdz extractor to retrieve it from your downloaded kdz. I can provide links later on the details if people want to know, I'm just not at my PC at the moment. Also not sure if your carrier has released the update but @op theres a new h update for H933 for most carriers.

When i try to upgrade the v300s to android 8.0 by flashing the kdz file, LG UP 1.14 does not work.

Install everything from uppercut thread. After installing open uppercut.exe, it will show lgup. Select .kdz and upgrade then start. It will boot the phone to downloadmode by itself.

I think I've got Uppercut working in a virtual windows machine. Does anyone know where I can find a EU KDZ firmware to flash for my H930? (I'm soft bricked)
