Converting .zip to .kdz - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Searching for instructions as to how to convert .zip to .kdz
I see a lot of custom rom using only .zip while l think .kdz is easier to flash.

Help required
XDA Team - Can you please share a way, how can we convert .ZIP into .KDZ
Any kind of help would be appreciated

Please I would love this to.... spent all of the last 3 days trying and failing to downgrade/root my k121

Value Pack Update Rom Flashable Via CWM for e980?

Hey,
I'm just wondering if someone can describe the process or send me a link on how to flash the Value Pack update for my e980. I know there is a post with the updated firmware, but you have to use LG flash tool, which I can't get to work. If it's possible, I'd like to CWM the update. I can't OTA the update because it keeps telling me that my device is not registered (I use T-Mobile). Thanks!

There is NO flashable zip you will HAVE to use LG Flashtools. Try another computer.

Is there a good guide for this? The thread that has the flashable files is kind of confusing. I'm not fully sure how to do it, and am kind of afraid to mess up my phone. Thanks!
The value update .tot file for use with lgflashtools was posted by thecubed, download that. And also go to the fix soft brick thread and download the files there. Use that guide to flash the value pack .tot instead of the regular stock .tot file.
It will say it failed but as long as your phone is booted up and running(which it will be), you should be good to go.

Where do I get latest cwm zip?

Newb question I know, but I honestly searched everywhere. Their homepage only has .img files and I've managed to find a few relatively new .tar files but I need a .zip of 6.0.4 whatever the latest version is so I can flash it within cwm already (Can't Odin since work PC's permissions won't let me).
If someone could tell me where to get the cwm flashable zip of newest CWM that would be amazing, or how to make one myself.
Thank you in advance.

It is possible, but i don't have 802 phone to test.
There needs to be one of these for all models. Can you possibly make it available for the Verizon's lg g2?

Sorry, but i only have 805 for testing. But you can use this rom, just replace all .img inside it from Verizon .kdz or .tot

So first we unzip ur rom,then we use that tot/kdz extractor tool n extract the vs980 kdz/tot and replace all the img files from ur rom w the img files from the vs980 kdz then zip it back up right?
edit: oh also does this wipe internal storage like actually flashing a tot/kdz or do you keep the stuff on data/media?
Yes this is correct.
And by doing this will wipe everything, the same as flashing kdz

that is strange, since the rom will overwrite everything.

Could the ota root keeper feature on super su and similar apps cause that?

If you get this thing working, you better make a thread in the Verizon forum for it. The lg tool can suck it.

Sorry to keep bugging you bro but if i was to use a img creator tool to combine this the various bin files, (minus the laf.bin to keep access to fastboot) into 1 img file could it then be flashed using fast boot?

[Q] So I downloaded a .TOT file... Not sure what to do with it?

Hey guys,
So today when downloading a new ROM/Firmware to flash to my phone, I extracted it only to find that it wasn't a .kdz file, but a .tot file... I'm just wondering what I'm meant to do with this, as as far as I know files to flash are meant to be .kdz but now I've got a .tot file that I don't know what to do with... Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! Am I meant to use a tool to flash it, or just rename it to a .kdz file, or convert it, or what!?
ROM/Firmware downloaded from here: http://downloads.codefi.re/wolfgart/LG_G3/D855/Europe_NoBrand_32GB/10E
Thanks again!
Anyone?

There isn't one that I'm aware of. Last night I was looking. If you're on a custom rom/recovery just install the stock rooted rom and install flashify and install the stock recovery which is floating around here somewhere then unroot. you'll be able to receive the update after.
help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish there was one, too. My tablet is bricked into fastboot boot loop and the LgMobile support tool does not work. Only hope is LG Flash tool. But I need the kdz.
Is there a way to convert an image (zip) into kdz?
EDIT: I found (with a lot of help) a way to unbrick it with adb.
Please message me all the details that are needed in order to unbrick my LTE V410!!!
I have two tablets one is mine and one belongs to my son. Both are bricked!
Please H*E*L*P

This is the link with all the help and the steps I took to unbrick my tablet. Although the thread was for another model, the help I'm given is for the LG G-Pad 7.0 v410.
http://androidforums.com/threads/twrp-bootloop-fix-after-update-ota.922585/
I basically had to flash TWRP recovery and then the stock ROM (which was rooted). Check #37 of the above link.
If you want to upgrade to lollipop you will have to flash custom recovery and unroot the tablet.
Things you may need:
TWRP recovey found here. Scroll half way down, make sure you use the right image for your model.
Stock ROM found here. Note that stock rom is rooted.
Minimal ADB and Fastboot found here. Or you can use adb.
If you need any more help, please let me know.
HOLY SH*T!!!!
:laugh:
WOW! I followed these simple instructions and fixed the first tablet in under 5 min. My son's tablet wasn't primed and ready like mine was. I had already tried every little trick n trade I could find on the net...which consisted of "NOTHING"!!! really... Kept coming up with the same ole bricks though. Until this VITAL information surfaced!!! All I had to do on my first tablet was open up TWRP Terminal and enter the TWO codes.....rebooted.... Now enjoying!!! You got definite props from me bro! :good::good:
v410 kdz can be found here
