Is there a stock firmware to flash into in case we run into problems?
i know lg uses .tot files for firmware
can we get stock lollipop or stock 5.1.1 for lg g watch?
just like nexus just flash back to stock version with fastboot.
anyone know this?

you're right
9.8 has LDZ22D
and the most recent its LCA43
maybe flashing this with that tool gives the same results.

You can flash the system files from fastboot.
In fact the tool is just a nicer interface for fastboot/adb. And if you look in the changelog you can find many links for older firmware builds.

i rooted this last night with z4root and did a nandroid backup and then flashed the mik_os compile of CM7, everything has gone fine, but i have decided to try the official firmware to see how it is.
if i nandroid back to the original LG firmware (which was 2.2 based) and then update to the latest release, is it still possible after that to go back to CM7 again if i find i don't like the official gingerbread update? ie. is it possible to root the latest gingerbread update?
i am doing this partly to get the latest radio version but also just to see how good the lg version is compared to aosp/CM

You cannot root the 2.3.3 update from LG, afaik. You've to downgrade it to froyo to root it again.

Ignore the previous reply. If you flash the official unbranded Euro version v20e using KDZ, superoneclick works just fine.

Didn't know that. The sticky thread is not updated with this info I guess. Thanks for letting me know.
ok just to be sure, is the official euro unbranded version this one?? -> http://www.multiupload.com/Q1OOK81QDJ
also this contains the latest radio version, correct?

Yes, that's the euro version and the new baseband will be flashed automatically.
If you want to go back to CM7 you will have to flash the old baseband via LGMDP or a froyo rom via KDZ.

actually i'm not sure if this is the best one to use, its a 7z file and i'm not sure how to flash it. it contains a number of .img files as well as some .mbn files.
will have to keep looking.

There is a rom search & download tool on this forum wich will help you download the correct .kdz file; you have to search the thread which contains it.

tried already, that is how i found the 7z unpacked version. the official LG website link is saying 'Forbidden'
ie. this one -> http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/ANEUBK/V20e_00/V20E_00.kdz
people have reported the unpacked version working, but i was a bit hesistant as its not how i have done different LG phones, i have normally used the .kdz
if anyone has the v20e .kdz could they mirror it somewhere, would be appreciated by a lot of ppl i think..
ok got v20e flashed finally, now only problem is rooting it, tried superoneclick but getting
Code:
Remounting /system with read-write access...
mount: Operation not permitted
FAILED
also trying gingerbreak, not much luck there either... am i doing something wrong?

did you actually get this to work? how?? so many ppl have reported the mount error that it no longer seems like coincidence??
rooted finally -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15454927&postcount=7
Glad you got it sorted.
I just followed the same instructions you did, and never had any mount errors on either of the two phones I've rooted.
I haven't run Oxygen OS since I got the phone and didn't do any OTA updates, does this mean I have an old modem/radio? Where do i find latest and how do i update it?

I don't think it is, custom roms don't touch modem etc
I'd like to know this too.
Recently, I lost my modem when I was playing around with my phone on CM. So I restored stock (latest version from here, and I additionally got an OTA after this about the hotfix again, IDK why, but I installed that too!) and saved the modem using Partitions Backup & Restore. Here are the img files, you may use them to restore using that very app (ROOT required).
The device is the E1003 OPX (Asia version, bought from Amazon India), and the Baseband version as stated in Settings -> About Phone is .4.0.1.c7-00013-M8974AAAAANAZM-1
Download link : https://github.com/Rijul-Ahuja/OPX-E1003-Modem
To download, click on the filename, click on View Raw. Your browser will start downloading it. In case that does not work, right click on View Raw and click on Save Link As...
Cheers!
Hi guys,
I really need help here. I have a SGP312, bootloader unlocked, and I'd like to get back to stock rom 10.7.A.0.228 because I need MHL-Output and this doesn't work with any custom rom I tried. Here's the problem: I can get into fastboot and into flash mode but nothing I try is working. If I use flashtool the and flash latest XperiFirm ROM for SGP312 everything is running fine until I try to boot. The Sony logo appears and then nothing happens. Once I waited for over 30 minutes. Screen stays on but it's not booting.
So back to flashing recovery...in recovery I can flash ALL custom roms I want. LineageOS, crDroid, CyanogenMod, no problem. If I try to flash this: "https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-tablet-z/general/stock-10-7-0-228-vmo-t3303365" I have same problem as described before. Sony logo pops up, screen stays on, no boot.
Also I tried different recoveries TWRP, CWM, Phil's and so on and nothing seems to work. With wipes without wipes does not matter...
And I tried Sony flash tool Emma (with rom for SGP11) and I tried with TWRP to flash a backup of 10.7.A.0.228 I made...both with same results
Can anyone help? I just want to go back to Android 5.1.1 (root preferred but if no root it's also okay) or I need a custom rom with working MHL. Does anyone have the one clue that can get me back to stock rom?
Thanks guys!

It's a known issue, especially after coming from android 7.x.x ROMs.
You need to flash ANY stock ROM except 5.1.1. 4.1.2 or 4.4.2 will do. After the ROM boots ok, you can flash 5.1.1 directly via Flashtool 0.9.18.6.
It will work.

Thank you very much! I'll give that a try. Right now I'm having problems with flashtool 0.9.23.2. It gives me the "Processing of loader.sin finished with errors" and "Error in processHeader : 1" when I try to flash. Drivers are installed correctly, tablet z is recognized as "Sony sa0107". I'm running Windows 10 64bit and flashtool as admin.
Any ideas?

Hi Rootk1t,
thanks for the tip! It worked. I went from 4.4.4 to 5.1.1 prerooted although I had to do this with a Macbook. Even version 0.9.18.6 didn't want to flash my SGP312. I think the drivers on my windows machine are really messed up. But now everything is fine!
Thanks again!
Do you have any hints for me where I can find older stock versions?

I'm gonna check as soon as get home. All I remember is, that I was searching a long time because, as you said, all links were dead. Maybe I still have the ROM somewhere in my files. I'll get back to you.

Just for the search engine: 5.0.2 didn't work for me either - same symptoms as with 5.1.1. Going back to 4.4.4 worked.

I'm sorry but I can't find any suitable firmware for SGP312.
I'm currently on Android 5.1.1 (Build 10.7.A.0.228, Germany/EU if that matters), and I'd really like to try to upgrade it to LineageOS 15.1 for all kinds of reasons; but in case that I botch anything (or the apps I really need don't work, like the screen time manager, as it's the kids' device), I really want to have a working firmware at hand to at least recover it back.
Kinda-noob question: do I really need a flashable firmware or would a full nandroid backup work for a rollback once I have TWRP installed?

For a kids device, i would recommend to stay on sony stock 5.1.1, because games run faster there, also it is already tried and tested with easy root installation and debloating.
To revert back from custom ROM (LOS or RR) to stock you'll need to flash firstly any firmware (like 4.4.4) except the latest 5.1.1, then boot it, and afterwards update to 5.1.1 if you want so. If you revert straight to the latest 5.1.1 stock, you'll get permanent bootloop or black screen issue.
So you need to have at least two stock firmware packages.
As for nandroid backup, you can't revert from custom rom to stock via restoring nandroid backup.
Fresh install is recommended.
Hi! i was just wondering what happens when I have a mate 10 that is unlocked and is rooted and I update it through firmware finder or system update? Will it brick my phone? Or it will just simply flash a new rom and remove the root? Thanks

As far as I know FF is not working anymore for the updates. I have a M10P rooted with Magisk. Whenever is a official OTA I am flashing my original Stock Recovery, doing the official OTA and then flashing back TWRP and Magisk. That s the way I am doing it, but maybe there are other ones. . cheers

I'm not quit sure if it's safe to update via OTA if ur rooted anc currently have stock recovery though. I'm too confused at how Huawei phones work, back when I used samsung phones I could just flash stock ROM via odin and download stock firmware over sammobile. While in Huawei I'm not kinda sure how to even flash stock firmwares and or stock recovery back.

There will be no bricks if you get the OTA on rooted devices. Reading skills and some tools which you find here at XDA. To get back to Stock you will need the last Firmware you used on your phone. After download use Huawei File extractor and extract stock recovery and system.img and flash it via ADB (I am telling u the short version) . You will find all information and tools here on XDA.
