Hello guys, so after spending a lot of time doing research on which partitions to extract to flash. I found out that the partitions on the link did the trick. I have 2 Sprint V50 same model one is rooted, the other is not, made the backup with Qfil from the non rooted and flashed those onto the rooted, that did the trick. Only use Qfil to flash partitions, do not use TWRP, it'll fail and your data will be erased to get it to work again!
The files are the one's I used, so I upload those to you guys! Hope it helps someone, if you have a doubt, just ask I'll be happy to help.
When I have some time I'll try to make a guide of it. If a new update arrives I'll update this post with the new files!

thx bro.
Strange I've never had any issue with flashing these in TWRP as long as I clear data/userdata. Then again I prefer starting fresh on a new OTA.
Thanks
Am I supposed to flash these files on just slot b or both slots

But... My phone won't go into download mode any longer. It did prior to the restore service. Also, I was not able to locate a kdz image for this phone.... Only the international version. Any ideas on how to restore download mode and flash a custom rom?

What happens when you try to boot download mode? I'm not sure which kdz you are looking for. If it is sprint, I recommend looking for the v50 sprint backup files shared on xda. It isn't kdz, but result should be more or less the same.

Nowadays, I can only connect via Wi-Fi calling while the cellular connection no longer works, so I'm guessing that T-Mobile is doing some IMEI-based blocking on their end.

i need your help

Hi everyone,
I really need your help, I need a tot file for F180K so that I could return to the official stock version.
So dump of me, I flashed KDZ to convert it to E975 but i don't get a network signal anymore. I flashed back to korean rom, f180k20g (jb version) but to no avail, still the same. If someone kindhearted would generously provide a tot file for this device, I would greatly appreciate it.
P.S.
Thanks to the guys at the forum, I learned a lot from you.

Hi,
I have the same problem with the mobile network. Now I try to download the new F180K201_00 and I'll flash it hoping that it helps....
But I have a copy of F180K10H_00 that suit you.
But a question. Did you try factory hard reset and wipe? Did you flash the right baseband?
Ciao

Yes i tried factory hard reset only. I don't know how to wipe. I already tried F180K20G firmware but it is still not working. I haven't flashed any baseband because there is no available baseband img file yet for F180K. I already tried to flash anything from E97510a philippines or 10b HK version but still not working. I hope someone can provide a tot file so that we can boot back from scratch.
EDIT:
The only thing that I regretted is that I didn't back up the efs partition before I flash. If only I have learned about the freegee stuff earlier.

Hi I just found the baseband for all F180 models in a Vietnamese website, there is a file .bat to execute for all models.
Source:http://www.tinhte.vn/threads/optimu...p-root-recovery-up-rom-4-1-2-fix-loi.1816719/
I droped the file on mediafire here: http://www.mediafire.com/?qbnu22y4sx7kf0n
I hope it works.
Wipe is easy with adb.
C:>adb reboot recovery
then waiting....waiting... waiting (it takes long times, also more than 10 minutes
If someone need F180K10H_00.kdz i can upload it. Tell me only where I can copy it....
You can get the KDZ from here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=20

Yeah I tried it already but it's not working. Probably I need to erase everything first, CACHE and SYSTEM. How do I get to fastboot mode on the phone? Pressing Volume down + power only brings me to Factory Reset Mode.

No kdz is available. Your best bet to return to stock is a nandroid backup or one of the stock based ROMs timmytim posted in the development section.
Hard Bricked my lg gpad v410 was stuck in a loop couldn't even get recovery. Caused from using the odex att 4.42 then tried updating with twrp recovery still installed. All I could get was the twrp recovery when rebooted. Next tried stock recovery, bad move, stuck in a bootloop of the lg logo. Recovery gone, reset did not work, download mode worked though.
Used the lg offline mobile tool and found uk41011a.kdz Yay unbricked. Problem is though, its an AT&T tablet with us cellular firmware. My Sim card is now unreadable since it is an att Sim.
Any ideas?

Thanks Thank U and thanks again, I have been searching.
So once I flash the demo I use the same method to flash over the demo by reentering download mode?
Have U been able to update and what are U currently running?
Download
Mine is bricked hard so right now its a paperweight. If you use the UK might be able to work unlocking the bootloader. Just turn off tab, hold, either just vol up or vol down, cant remember exactly then hook to PC. In fastboot do OEM unlock.
If using att then the v41007h will work with your att sim. If its a vzw tab, then get the vzw stock kdz. If its a att tab the vzw doesn't work right, wouldn't waste the effort. I tried and it asked for a PW with the vk kdz flash.

To get fastboot I take it I have to be rooted?
Looking into that now, I bought this tablet with 5.0 rooted with Kngroot and when I ran Super Su that's what bricked Me to here.
This US Cellular from isn't bad can I use their network now?(not a fan of AT&T)
I thought I saw a post that had the actual AT&T kdz however if U say I can unlock the bootloader on here I will stay. Or did U mean sim unlock?

Same issue here. Trying to go back to stock and no luck. I did the debug kdz after the stock rom I tried did an OTA update and got stuck in TWRP. Installed the same stock ROM, flashed stock recovery, and unrooted. Still every time I try the OTA, it tells me I am suspected of rooting. At least it doesn't get stuck in TWRP anymore. There has to be some kind of efuse in this tablet. If not, I still have no idea what I need to get rid of to do the OTA update and get Lollipop.
Hello, I'm new
I'm not sure if this is the right place, I felt a discussion area was an okay place to share and discuss my findings
I'm working with the Boost Mobile Motorola E4, the contents to this thread will relate solely to the Boost E4
Bootloader Unlocking
Unlocking the E4's bootloader was very simple through Motorola's website, it is for certain unlocked
After unlocking the bootloader I got the bad key screen but in my experience that's normal
You can verify that your bootloader is unlocked by using fastboot or checking the Developer Options
Rooting
Other people claim to have success with it, I have not yet had that success Just flash Magisk 13.1 after flashing the verity zip, don't bother with anything else, root will work first try. If you tried another root method, you will have to restore with the method in post #2 before it will work without giving the error.
After flashing the superuser zip and the verity zip, I wasn't led to a successful root I instead downloaded SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822 and flashed that after the verity zip and i was able to reach home menu
I tried flashing Chainfire's SuperSU zip but the device stuck at the boost mobile logo, I will try again after I can get back to stock and do the processes over again and find a way to have 100% success each time Downloaded a new version SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822 as noted above and i was able to fully boot
The issue now is that SuperSU app isnt detecting root but Terminal is gaining root, I'm going to try reinstalling app from the market. I got the SU Binary Occupied error, going to try to downgrade it to 2.79 and see how that goes. It didn't work for me, now it says improperly installed.. Going to try something else. It's 1:55AM August second, taking a small break from the root, at least I got other things figured out for now.

Sprint 7.1.1 stock RSD file: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298975628
-update- I added the stock RSD file to the list, going to be doing some pulls of stock files for us to work with when I can.
I'm going to try to collect as much information as I can about this device and provide as much detail as possible
NOTE: The below IS NOT Boost Mobile stock, it's sprint will update when I figure out Boost Stock
The sprint stock does fully work with the Boost Mobile device, LTE/data services seems to not work until you do a Factory Reset (in settings). ##72786# didn't work. It is now working for me fully after the factory reset from settings. The boost apps automatically install after the factory reset and after the celluar setup on first boot.. My Boost, etc.
After a few times of flashing and re-setup I've ended up with HFA error 701 which asks me to contact service provider to configure the device for service. Fixed by turning phone off for 20 minutes to an hour and the activation processed correctly.
If your experience differs, let us know!
Restoring to Stock
Install Motorola Drivers
Download RSDlite v6.2.4: http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/Android Programs/RSDLite6.2.4.zip
Download the Sprint firmware file: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298975628
Rename the zip to sperry.zip, the reason for this is to avoid the long file name error in RSD in some locations
Let the flashing process complete
Some people reported RSD not working in Windows 10, this is not fully true, install all moto and android drivers and it will show up fine as seen in below image

Do you have the USA or international variant of the phone? The only bootloader unlocking guide I've found was for the international variant.

@zoofie666 were you able to actually flash the moto g5 twrp or did you just boot it? I can get it to boot with fastboot but I get a not signed or corrupt error when trying to flash it.

Not sure, but you can do so by booting the Moto G 5 twrp with fastboot. Restoring works also.

I have the Boost Mobile variant.
Is there anyone with the Boost Mobile variant that made a working system and boot backup? If so, could you please upload it for me? Mine got corrupted somehow and won't restore.
@amarc78 You should be able to use the Sprint firmware posted by zoofie666 - Boost is Sprint's prepaid brand.
The weirdness with the activation on Sprint/Boost seems to be normal, because I had trouble with two phones recently. The first was a retail unlocked e4 (to be used on Sprint), done before rooting, and activated at a Sprint corporate store last week by a rep who had trouble. The second phone was a retail unlocked Moto g4 Play (also to be used on Sprint), that I rooted first, got the SIM and back-end computer part taken care of by a rep at the same store yesterday, and did the rest myself.

Yeah, I know all about that. I've already made a stock rom zip with sprint firmware but I want Boost so I can make a zip for that.

I can provide a backup of system but already rooted / disabled dm verity before I took the backup so /boot you'd have to snag the stock kernel, let me know if you want the nandroid tho.

Dang bro, you pop up everywhere I go around here, lol. Remember me from the moto g helping getting data on cm? Your the one who posted the nasa gif when we got it right? Anyway, I would gladly take what you have rooted or not, and any other imgs you would be so kind to provide me with. I was about to buy another now that they're $20 cheaper than when I got my first. I knew that would happen. I wanted to get my wife one anyway. I was a dumb ass and ran a flash all script for sprint stock firmware and forgot to remove everything but the system sparse chunks. So now I really need full stock firmware. Thanks a lot for responding man!

Hey, don't you have a LG volt?
Hello guys, i have two questions:
a) after you unlock bootloader on this device, is it possible to flash the non boost (international e4) rom on it? if so, have you done it?
b) i used to have a moto e2 from boost mobile (xt1526) and did this with the unlocked international e2 rom (xt1527) and i was able to use my gsm networks with it as i dont live in the U.S and CDMA bands dont work in my country, would it be possible with this device too? Because GSM bands are embeded in snapdragon chipsets, so flashing a stock unlocked firmware should make it work, but i want to know if you have tried it

I flashed the Sprint firmware and had data working on my XT1766 after it got it's carrier update, the Sprint firmware does not soft brick the phone as I flashed it and can confirm it doesn't soft brick it, so you are incorrect in saying that.
I'm not sure if I did something wrong but after trying this, my phone kept saying, "phone stopped working". I had backed up my phone so I restored it. Any ideas on what might have happened?

Oh, I never tried this method. I used rsd lite to flash the firmware (the one op says will brick you, it didn't by the way). After flashing new firmware I restored only data, nothing system or boot related, and have had no issues.

The steps are there. Just don't use the root part if you don't want root. Once you switch the files, flash the service file.xml with rsdlite.

That's normal if you unlock the bootloader. Flash the no verity opt encrypt, or magisk, and it will change from bad key to n/a. But there will always be a message if you unlock the bootloader.
I know you said you don't need root, so that bad key message is there to stay.

N/A will be there. But you can flash a new boot logo to kinda hide it. Instead of a black screen, any logo you want, maybe with a white strip at the top to hide it. I'll get you a link.

Just don't accept the update. You can root by flashing magisk. You will still receive update notification. You'll need to disable the moto update app. I forget which one exactly. But your phone shouldn't be able to do ota updates once you are rooted with twrp installed. The update will fail.
here is the root thread.

Ota updates will likely always fail if you have twrp, or have modified the system in any way. The ota performs many checks (assert props) to see if the system is clean. If any asserts fail, the ota will fail. Even restoring the stock recovery doesn't guarantee the ota will work.
Please can someone help me with their full firmware backup so I could restore mine. I mistakenly wiped both slot A / B and now my phone won't boot up. I just bought the phone and to my surprise AT & T doesn't work in Europe.

Another utility to use for backup and flashing back would be the bkerler edl python utilities.
Search for it and you'll find his github page, and on it, he even provides a bootable image you can flash to a usb drive, boot it and it's ubuntu with all the utilities and all dependencies resolved.
I've used them many times and it's the first thing I do is use them to backup original rom on the device. Sorry, don't have at&t, just sprint.
Keep in mind there are some partitions you NEVER want to flash from someones backup, they contain imei and s/n.
