How do people get the stock firmware? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I ask because I need a stock firmware to my Straight Talk LG L22c, and there is nothing to be found. How do people get the stock firmware? And can it be ripped from the phone? I have one paperweight, and another still running stock. Any info is appreciated!

Was there a post in there that described where they get the stock firmware from? I already read the first few posts in that thread, but saw nothing stating where he gets them...

When your phone or PC downloads a firmware update file, it'll be stored temporarily. These very kind people just pull it from the temp folder and make it available for download.

[Q] Stock T-Mobile Image and Baseband

Anyone have these yet by chance?
I am sure it is coming. I would like to get my hands on it also.
Would be nice to have as I've already screwed it up.

Nope. Downloading that right now actually. The only issue I'm having is that it's not recognizing the baseband.
It would be nice to be able to flash the Tmobile modem.

Yeah. I'm pretty much stuck at this point. I have a custom recovery installed, root and on an international rom but I cannot get cell service. Wifi works, but that's about it.
I believe it has to do with the isis security.
Was thinking about going to TMO and getting a non-isis sim card to try.

Looks like I need the stock rom also.

If anyone can help out with getting a flashable radio for this it'd be greatly appreciated. I've looked around on how to extract the radio from the current version with no luck.
As far as the ROM, a user linked one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33242968&postcount=67
I've restored that through custom recovery/nandroid and it works fine. But without the radio... I'm lost.
I get a MD5 mismatch when I try to restore it with nandroid.
Downloaded it twice. anyone else had luck?

Had the same thing. Best bet is to go into the md5 file with a text editor and just delete everything and save the file. Recopy the md5 file over and reflash. Not sure why it was causing this error because I even re-ran the md5's myself and they were the same.
Also, just got off the phone with Samsung, they pretty much said the phone is not in their system yet and they do not have access to the firmware at this point. Their suggestion was to go back to t-mobile and get an exchange unit.
I will try that..
I called Samsung last night and they gave me the same run around.

Just hoping now that maybe someone with enough knowledge sees this and can extract a flashable baseband... I'd really hate to go and buy another unit.

You should find a store with one on the shelf, and not much supervision... and root it/extract a nand image hehehe. Though that would mean you would have be able to do all that and I have no idea how to extract a baseband image that is the power of the xda dev gods!
How hard is it to extract a baseband image?
Could someone that has one do it easily?

Oh so wait. You're using a T-Mobile Note 2 and managed to flash an international ROM with everything working and functional (except for signal/sms/data/call) ? No reboots?
I ask because I've been wanting to somehow "convert" my T-Mobile Note 2 to an international Note 2 (as in, be able to flash the updates the international version gets instead of waiting on T-Mobile). I'm not US based so I don't need it to work with T-Mobile SIM anyhow...

How to root my LG G3 (i have searched already!)

Hi guys,
I might get flamed, I might not.
I have searched on google on how to root my LG G3. I have used towelroot and it says something like it isn't compatible. I used stump root and it says its patched. I used purple drake and I manage to find my device but the error comes up about vulnerability.
Luckily with PDrake, I found my software version as I have been seeing 10f 10e etc everywhere and it seems mine is a v20f.
Into google it went and the search it very minimal on answers.
Do I have to rollback the software to a kit kat version in order to root??? Is there any other way or more importantly is it a safe way?
All I really wanted to do was change some of the UI sounds and I cant access the system folder without a root!
P.S. Is there up to date, guide on how to roll back?
Thanks!
Yes, you have to go back to kitkat, then I used IOroot and then install twrp via Bump

Dammit, so downgrading it is.. <_< Been searching and you have to download custom ROMs? They are labelled with 10g/10f, are these related to the version of the phone?
Sorry, not clued up on all the jargon/acrynoms.

Ok nice, so D855 16GB from UK and unbranded ?
This KDZ should work. It will bring you to V10A, so Kitkat, and after that you can root.
If you have issues downgrading, I suggest you ask in the other thread, it is especially for this step.
Good luck.
BTW: doing that will erase all your data on your phone.

Again im not sure if it is branded or not. Its an LG G3, is LG not the brand? lol Sorry!
Thanks for the link, clicked it in another tab and doesn't seem to be working but ill figure it out.
So doing this process wipes my phone? So much for just wanting custom UI sounds :haha: No way around the phone wiping? I mean most of my stuff is backed on google+ but its just tiresome considering I have just put everything on there already with the phone being new..........

What I mean by branded is that you might have some Vodaphone software on it or from an other carrier. Unbranded means it's a pure LG phone unmodified by the carrier.
LL can't be rooted so you have to downgrade to KK.
For doing so you need to factory reset your phone using a KDZ or a TOT file, and there is no way around wiping the thing doing that.
Yeah that's a lot to modify a sound, but eh that's the deal as of now. And mind that if you downgrade to KK and root, you can't get back to LL if you are rooted. (Well you can but your phone will become a brick)
If you want a rooted LL, you need a custom rom like CloudyG3 for example.
Cheers for reply, already hit that thanks button.
Seems a lot for custom UI sounds, think ill wait until someone develops something. In the mean time I will continue to search for the ability to mod the system audio file without a root
Sorry to hijack, but can I confirm that the way to go from stock lollipop to rooted lollipop is to downgrade to Kitkat using the links above, then root, then install a rooted Lollipop rom?

Yes. LL has been rooted, but it´s way more complicated than previous versions of Android. You can wait, but it could be weeks, months or years for an universal safe and stable method
And the G3's locked bootloader isn't helping too....

[Q] Secure Booting Error

Hello!
I have just rooted my G3, and I thought I'd also flash custom recovery and unlock bootloader with Bump. However when I did that, and phone attempted to reboot, it doesn't boot and says "secure booting error". I know there had been many questions around this topic, but non had helped me. What is the easiest way to "undo" this? Unbricking? Unrooting?
Thanks for patience and help!

You can download KDZ from here: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/
Kdz for the D855 on lollipop here: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/Lollipop+5.0/D855/
And just to let you know, bump only work on kitkat, so if you want to use bump you need to downgrade to kitkat before using it, otherwise you get this error

The letter after is the OS version, so for example if you watch the D855 lollipop folder you have:
D85519C
D85519H
D85520A
D85520H <-- This is the most recent
The higher the number and letter is, the newest the software is.
And if the name start with D855***, your device is compatible.
Hope this help, if you have any other question, don't hesitate

[Q] ATT ZE500CL/Z00D Bricked After OTA Update - HELP (ZenFone 2E)

I have an ATT ZenFone 2E that I rooted successfully with this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3116531). Due to an error on my part(fat finger) I accidentally started the OTA update. Now when I try to boot the phone all I get is the AT&T logo/splash screen. I can get it to go into recovery mode and it also will connect via ADB. I have tried flashing the UL-ASUS_Z00D-WW-12.16.5.30-user.zip firmware via ADB fastboot but I get an error saying firmware is wrong carrier ATT (WW). Am I using the wrong firmware for AT&T? I have searched all over and cannot find any ZenFone 2 firmware other than WW, TW, and CN. Any help or suggestions much appreciated.

Still no luck. I'm sure if we could find the AT&T firmware we would be able to recover. Unfortunately it appears it is not available on ASUS support and AT&T doesn't even provide firmware. Our only hope may be from a backup of another device that isn't bricked.
Does anybody know if we could possibly use the temporary CWM recovery used in the root method to flash to another ROM that is compatible with this device? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Are there any details I can provide that would be helpful in finding a solution to recover this device? I've seen a few other people are having the same issue as I am and I would like to help them as well if I can get mine fixed. Thanks

Just out of curiosity have you tried running the xoa_unroot.bat while your device is in recovery/fastboot mode? Im not sure if it will help but I've found in other threads that to avoid soft bricking your device you must run the unroot prior to applying the OTA update. I'm sure it's probably too late but maybe worth a shot. I'm going to try it when I get home from work today.

Wait, are you bricked and tried using that as the fix? I cant post links but Check out Asus, They have Firmware, Kernel (havent checked but read it earlier today), and Boot Unlock that you can get right from (assuming you have an account) My Products.
Also... Has anyone used that method recently?
Cathaterfish said:
Sorry I will give credit to DavePmer for his guide in minute, but qouting him for some reason wouldnt let me post, even when I removed the links? anyways I'll edit and give credit I promise
So my phone is stuck on the Asus Logo, I downloaded all of this and followed the instructions all the way up to:
11) now the fun part. open your microsd card and check the folder TWRP\BACKUPS see if it has a folder named
01234567890123456789 if it does great if not, not a problem just copy all the system files from the folder
you extracted TWRP-zf2e-ATT_12.16.10.7 to your microsd card TWRP\BACKUP\01234567890123456789\ whatever folder you have next\ in other words, replace your system.ext4.win000 files with my system.ext4.win000 file.
Replace your system.ext4.win001 with mine, and replace system.ext4.win00.md5 with mine as well as system.ext4.win001.md5 when done safely dismount the microsd card.
It then occurred to me that i should be more careful this time around... This was from October and although I ran across links saying for the most part that this was a good shot for fixing my ZE500CL, Z00D or whatever. But things have changed since then and I was wondering if this is still the best/easiest/safe route. I learned pretty quick that over looking things like OTA/Root or in my case Making assumptions is a fast path to really doing a number on your phone. (Honestly I just started even giving thought to rooting my phone, just considered them back ups I kept in a box). I now have the itch to do this right so hoping to fix this and go about this the right way.
Thanks for any input.
Currently DLing RussaiNBeaR, went and bought a card reader/writer. I was going to Download the firmware, kernel and boot unlock tool but currently staying at a place where im getting 160kbs on my DL's. So if I can get away with davepmer's guide that would be great, or something other or smaller than downloading 4gbs on this Internet Connection.
EDIT: Forgot to add that I haven't completed this step yet because the wording kind of tripped me up. And I want to do this right. When he says "in other words replace your system.ext4.win000 files with my system.ext4.win000 file." and then goes on and 3 more to the list. Does that mean only copy and replace those 4? or does that include all system.(whatever).(extension) files? Im sure it sounds really dumb or noobish but the fact that the next step is using twrp to restore using system only makes me afraid to do this part wrong.

Is there information anywhere about which versions are safe to 'Upgrade' to which?
In other words, from 13B do I have to KDZ to 24C to do an 'upgrade' before going to 26A or higher?
Or can 13B fly straight to 27C or 26A with an 'Upgrade'?
I've been reading for hours and can't find folks claiming which versions they were on previously when they went to MM from 13B.

When it comes to upgrading you can go straight to the latest. But be sure you choose referbish so it wipes the device. Not Wiping can cause issues. But you should be able to update your device via OTA or the Verizon software assistant as long as your not rooted. But remember you may not be able to downgrade once you go MM

I got the 13B image from the links floating around. I guess I'm going to use the same links to get 24c and 26c and 27c on the phone. Weird that updates won't work, although I do recall going to great lengths (before doing the KDZ) to make sure automatic updates don't go.
Edit: Also, everyone should be aware:
Every new firmware (including the new 29C that came out yesterday) seem to be available here:

I can't verify the legitimacy of them other than that I just downloaded 29C and we'll see how she rolls.
Anything we can do to help with rooting this 27c or 29c kids file ? I just got a g4 vs986 27c, and am still reading up about it... What is the kdz, like our version of a .img file that most other Androids use?
Can't we just unpack the file, change permissions and settings then repack it & flash it like any other update?

No. Kdz files are official files from LG. They can't be changed in anyway.

... But they're a packed file, then, right? Every pack file can be unpacked and repacked. LG probably uses the same pack file and method for all their phones, yeah?

You can unpack it. But you won't be able to repackage it back into a flashable kdz format. You'd be able to turn it into a tot file though.

Well ok then we're in business... We unpack the kdz, root the os files inside, then push all the files into the phone.... Yeah?

I don't see every firmware there. 13b is distinctly missing, as are many others. I see 11a, 26, 25, 29a, and two 27c that appear the same. Does not look like a legit site to me...
