Re: How To Unbrick LGLS840 Back too LS840ZVC OR LS840ZVD Firmware

ok i need some help. followed the instructions and all i keep getting is verno all the way down and port cannot be recognized. wont do anything to the phone at all. i bricked my phone pretty bad trying to install twrp recovery. any tips or anything that could help me? windows 7 32bit proffesional, port is 41 run as admin... the whole works. when i click the start button verno until port cannot be recognized. going to try to reinstall drivers i guess.

Does the phone go into download mode? If the phone will go into that mode it can be unbricked. Other wise you will need to replace the device

Okay again, I'm stuck at "READY!!" and I have the com port at 41, the phone is in download mode, I re-entered the .tot and .dll in the right places, and It's down to one usb port which I already tried switching around. Any help at all?!

 

[StephenUtterback]

Can anyone please help me? I don't know what's going wrong and my phone is acting so weird. It's stuck at ready and I followed every single step word for word.

select your ls840.dll and tot file press ok . then unplug the usb tip from the phone . when you press the arrow replug the usb tip back into phone and it will start flashing the firmware

(Note: needed to only slightly remove Cable from USB Port and quickly re-insert. This is what initiates process to begin.... I remembered reading this from another Forum who had your directions posted as well as Credits to You for your efforts,... this is an important step which should be included in directions,.. if I hadn't read prior to install... I would be sitting at "Ready" in FlashTool after hitting Arrow,.. not knowing what to do from there.)

read the guide. you need to select ls840.dll and then add the tot file in the next area.

go ahead and press the arrow on lg flashtool and then plug in your usb cord to phone. it will pick up the phone and start flashing the firmware.

I don't offer support for any LG Phones due too license expired . Everything I have and all the directions I have are posted. I am willing too do remote access unbricking and flashing back too stock but that will have too done by donation basis.

 

[R34SKYLINE]

I do that and it starts to flash but it just says verno then it says fail cannot communicate with port.

I don't get any message telling me when it's flashing; I followed all your directions and I'm still bricked.
EDIT: It worked after I unplugged and plugged back in. Now, how do I root ZVK? I used the tool and it says the binary isn't there under superuser.

I'm new to all this stuff but what I want to do is root my Sprint LG Viper. What I've read is I need to downgrade to ZVI from my current ZVK(which is why I'm on this thread). What I don't understand is that if I don't have my MSL number what sort of issues will I have with the phone after the downgrade? It's not clear to me what the MSL number gets me. Can someone please help. Thanks!

 

[R34SKYLINE]

Every time i try and do this, This happens!

Help!! My phone is not bricked, I was want to restore it, Becouse when it was rooted i downloaded some Beats audio shet. and it changed something in my system and it screwed up the audio in the phone! HELLPPPPPP lol

 

[Mor Hedroom]

@tommyjoesanders - Thanks so much for this guide. I run a linux box and was able to perform a completely successful downgrade from ZVK to ZVI within a VM. Some of the instructions change in a very minor way for this to work, but it went perfectly, and now I'm at ZVI on an LG LS840 Viper. The only major hitch I had was that I needed not just the VisualC++ runtime 2010, but also the one for 2008. Once I had both installed, everything went smooooth like buttah.

Now I'm going to attempt a root process from XDA. Again, thanks so much! You've shown lots of patience here for us all, and I appreciate it.

I am thinking about bringing lg unbrick project to AC for all LG Phones. I will be able too unbrick LG Phones with android. Finally got my dealer licenses fee paid. If i can get donations going . I may start posting the files and guides. I am currently unbricking phones by remote access when someone donates too my project.
