To me it looks like LG took down the kdz files from their servers for the P930/P935/P936. I needed them, because I got a used P936, couldn't root Gingerbread (installed) and the automatic update to ICS (OTA and Mobile Support Tool) wasn't working. So I started looking for the kdz files and it appears to be down.
If anyone still has kdz files from LG, please either upload them or message me. I can upload and link to them.
Or maybe LG just moved them to a different location. Then please post the links or a way to get to them. After a long search I found a 7GB torrent that inlcuded an ICS AT&T? rom that also (thankfully) had a fast upload. Thanks to the uploader I was able to root and install a custom rom. But I don't know the exact nature of that kdz and it screwed up the wifi on the phone, so I am reluctant to post it here.
i have the whole process backed up on my drive, check my signature for the guide.
Unfortunately they are contained in a LARGE zip file, but they are in there if you need them.

Folks, I believe I am close to unbricking my S3.
I was able to have it in download mode and the QPST tool allows me to upload .mbn files into it.
I got the .mbn files from TMobile stock image.
Problem is, I am using version 2.7b378, which does not have M8960 in the list of supported devices, so any image I try to load I am getting "Could Not Open Flash Programming File".
I believe if I have the latest version of QSPT tool I could unbrick my device.
Can you please comment on my experience and eventually give me pointers to the latest QPST tool?
Thank you in advance.

Hardbrick means that you can't get into download mode. Soft bricked is what it is, and .mbn? what type files are those? I used .tar and and used odin to flash stock rom back to my softbricked phone months ago. Worked like a champ, its the only method I know of. If I happen to see someone else talking about .mbn files, I will let you know.
If you are in download mode, does Odin recognize it? If so, go to stock.
Hi, answering you both: download mode I am referring to is the one using QPST tool. I will post some screen shots later. Point is: QPSTt is a qualcomm tool that allows lower level maintenance. .mbn are the files to reflash the device.
I am not referring to Odin/ android download mode, but qualcomm hw reflash download.
More specifically, .mbn files are the ones installed to your other partitions. If you extract the otas or fw, you will see these:
aboot.mbn - appsboot
rpm.mbn - not sure?
sbl2/3.mbn - secondary bootloaders
tz.mbn - (ARM?) trusted zone
These are why some of us are always saying that when you update, if you only do so by flashing a custom rom you will miss out on some of the updates to other partitions. Only using Odin or Kies will update these. (I dont think even Mobile Odin does them all)
Hope that makes sense.

For QPST you might want to check with peoplearmy. I think hes done some work with it in the IMEI backup thread.

DocHoliday77 - Thanks for the explanation. In this case do you know how to unbrick the device w these files - which happens to be the same as yours? Would you have a .hex of you boot to share w me? I will try contacting peoplearmy. Thanks!
No unfortunately I do not have it. I can try to get it for you once I get home later tonight though.
That is unless anyone else has one they can post beforehand?

Man, if you could send me a copy of nv files and stuff like this would be of great help. I am in Brazil, w a phone I brought from USA, if I dont get it sorted out like this, I will have to send the bricked devoce to USA and have Samsung fix it there - will basically cost me a new device. No one here has a similar device, thus I have no one to rely on here on this situation. Thanks in advance.
Ill do what I can to help. In the meantime, if you haven't already try to get in contact with peoplearmy and the guys in the IMEI threads (in development section). I think theyve already done a lot with qpst and nv backups while working on the imei problem. You may get what you need there before I ever even get a chance to start!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Thank you. Have posted there as well. Awaiting feedback from peoplearmy.
Just got back. Need to take care of some stuff before I can get to any of this.
Try PMing peoplearmy too. Hes been very helpful to a lot of people. Ill get back to you soon. Sorry to keeep you waiting.

Not to try and rain on your parade but I promise this won't work. I've bricked twice which literally gave me days to attempt exactly this. It won't do it. Would love to see this happen but hate to see you waste the time. Assuming you're still gonna go for it tho, good luck
I am working on this now i believe ive gotten it but Im in need of the mbn file iand hex m not quit sure which rom or how to extract the files if you have them can you please send them to me and i will gladly make a tutorial when successful.

I'm basically right where you are. I have the one .bin and several .mbn from my stock AT&T image. I just get an error that I need to switch to streaming download mode for flashing the .bin and NAK: invalid address when flashing the .mbn files. I think what we are looking for more than these are the hex files. The files we have now seem to be trivial from what I have read. How we acquire a hex is beyond me though. I've got a thread over here.

I hard bricked my phone.
Can anyone put the bootloader on their SD card, then send me the files so I can transfer them to my microSD and send them to my phone?
Would that work? I only see the i9300 files around. No one has the T999 files anywhere to send to the phone or am I missing something?
I feel comfortable shorting the certain resistor and getting to d/L mode just the getting files to my microSD seems the hard part.

If you at are hard bricked you will need to send it somewhere for a jtag repair. Never heard of anyone recovering any other way.

there have been different phones that have recovered from a hardbrick that way we just need the right files for our phones.
Sammy really seemed to surprise some people with the S3. A lot of things people were used to on previous devices, were new and different on the S3. IMEI backups and nvdata were included in that category. It apparently used to be MUCH easier to backup and restore nvdata and related items. I'd wager this may be in the same boat, and I haven't seen anyone trying to figure it out, save for those in this thread.
Not saying its not possible, just improbable. (Wheres that Improbability Drive when you need it!)
Also, a fully functional and compatible version of QPST has never been found that I'm aware of.

hey all, just got my 1st smartphone here. the LG Venice.
i love it , but always wanted to root it. that was the main point in getting it.
so i went and got this the other day, and unfortunately the guy at the store
went and upgraded it for me from the good version to this new UN-rootable version.
at the time i didn't know this, or i woulda stopped him.
soooo, I've been reading all over and the consensus is to downgrade it to zv5,
then root it, then save the root, then upgrade back to zv8, then restore the root.
ok, no prob, but i cant get the zv5 firmware to take. i;'ve found only 1 place that has a link to a .cab file. and it don't work.
others have had this same problem, but i cant get ahold of anyone....
if i flash 5 on it, it gets stuck at the boost logo screen. only way to fix is to flash 8 back on it.
so if anyone has an idea or a good zv5 image, or a link or something! or a way to root it as is.. please help!!!
thanx

I know that this is not the correct thread but since there is no LG3s threat yet I post it here.
I kind of brick my phone trying to update the preinstalled Google Apps (on /system).
Every time I start my phone I get an error corresponding with Google Play Service.
Could somebody with a rooted G3splease upload their /system Partition I will try to fix my phone this way.
I would just flash the official Firmware but I cannot find aly .tot or KDZ file for our G3s.

I had HTC device before it was easy to root or....but I'm new to LG and don't know how to root or unlock it. And it will take some time for me to learn these. I love helping you but I'm afraid to brick my phone and loose warranty and there isnt any stock rom available to go back.
But if you write the instruction on how to root and backup system partition and go back to stock rom I'd be glad to help.:good:
Edit: my device is D724.
Adding this device would be great!
LG G3s (D724) is already very popular in CIS.
And I want to find stock firmware to!
Maybe there's a way to backup it from my device?

I can't do that. The moderators should do but it seems they don't care.
I don't know if i'm posting in the right section, but needless to say i'm trying to root my T-mobile LG G4, I'm following the guide on XDA, it says to download the tar.gz file, which I did, then it says to extract it, which I did..but the file name stays the same, and in the guide it says that if you don't get the "system.rooted.phonemodel.img" then you didn't extract it properly..But to the best of my knowledge there is only one way to extract a file..I'm using z-zip, I extract the file, it's like 4.6gb which sounds about right but the file name is wrong..I'm totally lost and really want to root my phone, I've rooted several others before so this isn't new to me, but i'm currently having problems rooting my g4. Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated..Thanks in advance.
Also here's the guide I'm "trying" to follow.

Thanks man I'll try and search around for it. Still haven't had much luck.
Hey, guys.
I was wondering if you know how to get the partition.txt file from an AT&T LG G3 Stock ROM .tot through LG Firmware Extract? I recently bricked my phone is this is the second to last step, but the one I'm having the most trouble with. I have the .tot file as well as the .dll file, but I can't seem to find partition.txt from either of them.
Putting the .dll file in the program just gave me an error, the .tot file basically extracts all the files EXCEPT the one I'm looking for. I tried doing it in BoardDiag as well; it came up with the same results. I'll try to redownload the stock firmware and see if it was incomplete, but I don't think that's likely.
Anyone have any clues?

Ok.Download the .tot file of your stock rom.Kdz not work thats why you neef the .tot file then open boarddiag.At the end of boarddiag,you need to select the bin (in which select the downloaded .tot) and then select the output destination folder where you want to get partition file. Note : During process boarddiag will stuck and the pc shows not responding on boarddiag,dont worry keep it continue until the boarddiag says that the extraction is completed.
If i really help you then you can give me a like ☺☺.
