Need help! Bricked phone [Fixed] - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was trying to root my phone but was running MM 6.0 so I had to downgrade to LP first. I tried downgrading using LGUP tool, but when it finished, I get stuck on the LG logo without access to download mode or recovery mode! Yes I tried the power+vol buttons.
Any help is appreciated!
EDIT:
I used Canada TELUS H81210F.kdz when trying to downgrade to LP using LGUP found here: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G4/Canada+H812/

Go to Telus and demand a free repair for unsuccessful upgrade *phone died during upgrade.
The only thing you can do.

My p930 is rooted and running the latest CWM recovery and CM10 nightlies. The screen is broken and I 'll need to send it in for warranty/insurance claim. I've run a CWM backup, and transferred that to my PC. Now I need to return to stock/unroot.
This thread, along with other unroot threads, are kinda old. Is SOC > Unroot still the best method? Has anyone unrooted from 4.1/CM10? Are there any other known methods?

If all else fails you could use the LG update tool to update to official ICS... I personally don't know if there's an easier way.
On the broken screen thing, how much are you being charged to replace it? You can get the digitizer glass/frames on eBay for around $40-45. There is a nice guide on how to tear-down the phone floating around the general forum which I have used three times so far : But it's pretty easy to do and would save you some time of being without your phone... and save you the hassle of having to unroot and all.

Best thing to do now is just update using the official LG updater to ICS from download mode. If it refuses to install for any reason, flash the V18f ICS update first.
I'm also wanting to go back to the stock ICS on my optimus LTE. I'm just not 100% sure what I should flash first. Currently if I connect the phone to the LG mobile software it says that my phone is already up to date. Where would I be able to get a V18F ICS update? And also once I've done that will I be able to point the LG software to Telus I don't remember since it's been so long since I upgraded my phone.

Then you should be able to follow the unbrick guide to downgrade to GB, and instead flashing CWM and carrying on from there, try to use the LG updater while on stock GB.

The v18f version is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668476
The nice thing about this is that this exe will flash no matter what ROM you currently have installed. Then, after installing this, the official updater will recognize your phone as out of date and will allow you to flash to the official v20c update easily.
Seems to want to update to V10J and that's about it, never get's to V20E. Also after the update it just stays at the Telus splash screen.
I was able to load the ATT V18F no problem and then get to the point where the LG software wants to update but that's where it end unfortunately.
Guess I'll keep trying and see how it goes.

Oh, that's actually fine. You just need to do one more thing: after you get stuck on the splash screen, pull the battery and put it back in. Then hold down volume down + power button to turn the phone on (same way you access CWM if you have it installed). Then press power button twice to confirm and your phone will reboot after a little bit and should work fine from there.
HOWEVER, if it's not even the version you want, then that doesn't help you much. What version of the phone do you have? P935 from Telus?

[Q] [HELP] Unrooting LG G3 V10l

Hi guys i'm new to all this soo here is what i did.
I recently rooted my lg g3 V10l-EUR-XX and now i want to unroot it ... but the problem is that i found only the kdz file without the dll file ...
Can you please help me find it or if it's possible to downgrade it from v10l ? Sorry if i said something strange or impossible but i'm a complete newbie with the roots and stuff
If you download the LG PC Suite and click on "Restore Upgrade errors" it should reflash the current version, but i'm not sure as it might download the latest which is lollipop.
You could also flash your KDZ file using the LG Flash Tool. Without the need for a DLL file.

Because i have been reading a lot of post this week and everything messed up. That's why i didn't see that the LG Flash Tool doesn't require .dll file. I just brought my LG to stock and everything is fine ... Thank you for ''enlighting'' me ! :good:
In fact i have one more question ... probably a silly one but still. When the LG was still rooted i got an update for v20e i think but i didn't install it because i assumed that it will be bad and it will ''brick'' my phone ... and now when it's stock i don't have that update. What should i do or it is just a matter of time the update to show up ?

Since you device in now unrooted there will be no problem in updating. The update may show up some time, but you can always flash it if you want to.
NOTE: Lollipop CAN NOT be rooted.

TWRP requires an unlocked bootloader which the VS986 (Verizon G4) has not been able to do. I saw a thread somewhere about installing MM on any G4, but figured I could wait a while and be happy with 13B. What software version were you BEFORE installing 6.0 MM? Can you not go back to 13B by placing a system image on your phone and flashing that in recover/command mode? I have not read much about what MM does with your kernel/bootloader, so DEFINITELY check that before you think about going back to 5..1 LG has anti-rollback stuff backed in that can brick your phone if you try going to a previous version, but not sure how the 6.0 MM flash handles that.
Edit: Well, that answers that question, not a Verizon phone. lol.
Which H815 version do you have? VERY IMPORTANT because not all H815 are made the same. Depending on the region is what determines if you can actually unlock your bootloader.

Bootloader is unlocked. Had 5.1 before with TWRP & Co. working.
The CM Wiki is exactly what I did. Installing Android 6 and then flashing recovery with adb.
Can't link due newbie but cyanogen wiki /w/Install_CM_for_h815
Now tried to boot directly into recovery after flashing.
I'm just getting the Stock recovery after a sucessful flash of twrp?

Welp had a problem with 2aa...... Dont try to downgrade.

So like the title says had a problem with 2aa tried to downgrade and it does not work. Currrently soft bricked and stuck in download mode awaiting 2aa kdz...
Any success so far downgrading from 2AA? Gotta get rid of this. If you do get a KDZ I would very much appreciate it!
People have successfully downgraded using LGUP software.
Details? How did you try to downgrade?
I've downgraded from 2BA to 13B with LGUP and it can be done with 2AA successfully also:

Repairing damaged recovery partition on Huawei Y560-U02 - Solved

I watched a few videos on YouTube on how to upgrade the Android O/S but none of them mentioned that it needs to unlock the bootloader 1st.
So before I found out that I need to unlock it I tried installing ROM before I knew that.
The phone came with Android Kitkat 4.4.2 and there is an official Lollipop for it that I want to install.
The device is rooted with Kingroot.
I tried the installations two times and the phone still works but I can no longer boot into recovery mode or fastboot mode. It just hangs and then I need to remove the battery to get it to work again.
I just want to restore it back to what it was before and then I will work on unlocking the bootloader.
I prefer to use tools that are free of cost.
Issue has been resolved.
I flashed the device with a pac file using SPD upgrade tool and now all is back to default.

Hi. I recently messed up my phone (Y560-U02)! Please help me.
Can you please tell me where I can find the "pac file" and "SPD upgrade tool"?

You meant un-official, right?
Sorry for the delay. I check the linked email once per month.
Do you still need help on this?
I thought that it was official Lollipop. But it does not exist for this phone.
Yes I can help you get it to what ever you need but it is not easy if you want to do more than just resorted it back to default.
I will tell you more if you still need it.
