I had a hard time getting back to Stock, so I took a little bit of everything, and tried something not suggested for our devices. Here's a zip of a modded LG Flash tool and the 4.2.2 kdz. I'll add the name of the modder who made the tool when I can find his name again. I never hosted a file before so Dropbox is what I got.

Any chance you can re-up somewhere else? Dropbox has locked that account down now for too much public traffic.

Hi,
Spent some time looking around the forums, but I wanted to make sure before I returned the phone for repair.
Basically I had the phone rooted to copy across a couple of library files and so than I can use nVidias Perfhud ES. The device worked perfectly, I also applied the previous update with no problems.
Today, after getting tired of receiving the update nag every few minutes I decided to update to latest firmware (4.5.91 I think). It downloaded the file, restarted, the progress bar run across and restarted again and that's where it stopped at the Moto boot logo.
After 20 minutes I decided to take the battery out and restart, same thing. I looked at the help section of Motorola's website and found the hard reset option. Booted into android recovery mode (the method for 2.2 didn't work, but 2.3 did the job - so I am guessing the boot image 2.3 installed correctly), did a wipe and restarted, again no luck.
Second try, downloaded the update file manually copied to a sd card and through recovery set to update, according to the log all was alright, but it still doesnt get past the motorola boot screen.
Anyone had this before, do I have any options here? I already contacted Motorola they said that I can send it for repair but I am situated in UK and phone was bought through a US retailer (AT&T Atrix) so they need a US address, which makes it kinda complicated. Any help/info will be much appreciated, thanks!

4. Press and Hold VOL UP while you turn the phone hold until the tag of RSD show up in the screen
5. Connect the phone to USB/PC
6. Open RSDLite and chose file to flash go to the one on step#1 (to chose click on "...") then press Start and wait until it said PASS on the status.
Be sure the phone is charge at least 40%-50% and do not touch your pc when is doing... to make sure everything go right remove SIM card and external SD card.
Excellent thanks! I will try this tomorrow - device is at work, just to make sure, this will wipe all data and install latest firmware right?
My take on this is (after looking at the zip of the update and finding those same files I copied across a while ago in there) that for some reason it failed to copy the new ones on top of the old and is trying to call non-existing code.. Hope that method you posted works!

thats a service sbf so in data get preserve...
I think what it was wring with your OTA was that some of the files on you phone are already mod or replaced with something, so when try to do the ota a do the file checksum on each file then return with different code, so the upgrade stop automatic and get stuck in something, in that case you need to flash a SBF
NOTE: that once you are in the new 2.3.4/4.5.91 please NEVER try to downgrade with lower sbf in this case 1.83/1.57/1.26 etc....
Yes, I do remember reading something about not trying to downgrade from latest. You have been really helpful and fast to reply so thanks again!
Seems to be a big problem.
Restore finished with any problems, everything is good! Thanks for your time, I owe you a beer!
Hi,
I've just bought my new LG G2, and i want to mess a little bit around with it. But before i'm gathering up stock files in case of emergency.
I have D80210E_ESA_XX soft right now, had update after phone booted first time, so i'm not sure what was base version.
But the question is, where i can download stock KDZ for ESA?
-----------------------EDIT-----------------------
Ok, with use of LG Mobile Support Tool if You choose the option with rescue software restore it starts downloading stock KDZ.
It puts it in C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone, and after it finishes You are able to backup it.
But i'm not sure if it's correct one for UNROOT purpose correct.
Ok guys/gals.
Seems like Marshmallow for T-Mobile variant is rolling out version H63120b, can someone capture the download link? Or get the KDZ so i can help you guys creating a flashable update zip and PROBABLY KEEP ROOT?
NO PROMISES ABOUT FLASHABLE ZIP WILL KEEP ROOT,
P.S. I don't own the stylo anymore just wanna help you guys.
P.S.S. nop i don't know how to capture the update or link
To pull the system.img and boot.img, open a terminal on the device or adb shell and run the following commands...
1. su
2. dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system of=/sdcard/system.img
3. dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img
Please post the system.img and boot.img

System.img and boot.img won't do any good if you want to run MM without a problem...whole Bootstack is need it to function correctly,
This is a Mayor OS Update not just and a simple jump from Lollipop to Lollipop (5.0.2 to 5.1.1), just a little piece of advice before doing something else with just these 2 files make sure you know what you are doing or you will end up with softbrick...
P.S. LG have implemented a " *AntiRollback / QFuse v*** (* = 1 or 2) feature*" not sure which version you have with Lollipop or you guys even have this but this mean if you screw up with just these 2 files and they are differrent YOU WON'T BE able to KDZ the Latest LP it will Hardbrick your device for good.
I didn't get yet the update but if i get it before anyone ill post the files.

You can dd the system and kernel while leaving aboot, radio, modem, etc intact. Therefore you're running mm 6.0 without touching anything to do with fuses(aboot, PBL, sbl, radio, or modem)
Would you know how long after it will take for a MetroPCS OTA to go out?
Thanks for offering the help, @DrakenFX. They just started rolling today for T-Mobile. I'm on a ROM so I doubt I'll even get notified and was thinking about doing a kdz back to stock to get it, even if it takes a couple weeks. Here's hoping you can work some magic and I can either kdz MM or flash update to it

As of right now, only the Tmo version is getting it. Metro isn't on the list for the update.

Im using a tmobile rom with a metro phone/service now so I dont see why mm wont work as well.
MetroPCS users should be able to flash T-Mobile KDZs without issues
To get the T-mobile KDZ file link, you can try the lg OTA URL trick
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=[IMEI]
replace [IMEI] in above link with that of your phones and it should give you a link to the kdz file from LGs servers, I can't try it myself as I am a MetroPCS user so it probably wont give me a relevant kdz
I keep getting an auth failed from the above link with my IMEI anyhow so they may have changed the URL though it may be worth a try for others
Downloading 10j bootstack and ReturnToStock now... not sure I'll follow through and unroot just yet, but I'll be ready if it's necessary. I'm still on 10j, never installed the 10L update.

I have a screenshot of what happens when I go to that site and put in my IMEI. I've removed my IMEI and SN for obvious reasons, but I'm not sure what to do with this information now that I have it.
I just had another thought, and although I won't know how to capture it couldn't we use LG Bridge after returning to stock via kdz to update to MM before the OTA comes our way?

I'm still new to this device. Just bought it from MetroPCS about a week ago. I'm used to Samsung devices, but if the LG Bridge is anything like Samsung Kies you should in theory be able to grab the update from your temp folder after the update is downloaded to the PC. I'm excited to see what the community can do for this device, it truly is something worthwhile for the price. First, we need to get our own dedicated sub forum for our device. After work I'll try to reach out to one of the moderators that I have worked with in the past to see if we can finally get this phone the attention that it deserves.

Strange, it's supposed to look like the pic from this post
Edit: it looks like your pic except there's no kdz link in the appropriate xml tags, maybe LG changed something
Here's another question... Do/should I revert back to stock before using LG Bridge or can I just run LG Bridge even though I'm on katana?

That's because the update for MetroPCS isn't available yet. Once we see the source uploaded to the LG open source page, then we can start trying to grab the KDZ for the MetroPCS LG G Stylo
Try with tmobiles bootstack and system!
After a long frustrating search, I located a source for H830 .kdz files for older firmware versions (I was searching for v10d) to unroot one of my phones. (If, like me, you've spent hours clicking on dead download links, this is a godsend.)
The site (with many kdz variants) is here.
Warning: Expect to spend 3+ hours to download a 2gig kdz file from this site....
And, if you need it, the H830 un-rooting instructions are here

Unfortunately all the TWRP flashable roms from GetOffMyLawn&!+ยข#{$ are dead and I need the stock rom for the MetroPCS variant. Anyone know where I can find it?
I think I mostly got to where I needed to go with the stock factory roms without using TWRP. After attempting and failing to make a flashable rip with Android Kitchen, I read about and saw a video on RSD Lite here youtube.com/watch?v=njXQYn53SPc (sorry can't hyperlink since my post count) It basically just quickly shows what it should look like and how it should work IF it works once setup. But it was good enough. The images I had were giving me failing to flash gpt and bootloader errors. So I manually took those complete lines out of both the flashfile.xml and the Servicefile.xml. After that it flashed everything and rebooted. To my surprise I'm not bricked and back on stock. I had to go back to enable Device Carrier Unlocking through the metropcs app (oops). Now I have to probly unlock the bootloader and root again but this time I'll make that backup
But if anyone has the flashable zips, a new upload would be nice for others.

Send me an untouched stock system.img, boot.img, and oem.img and I'll compile you a TWRP flashable ROM. If you're not sure how to dump partition images, the best way is to download an app called Partition Backup & Restore. It's a free app and was created by an XDA dev @wanam.
Hey, thanks for the offer. I'll do it. I have the img files that you need ripped and rared. Just been having some connection issues today while attempting to upload the file. I don't know how I should upload it so I'm going to use my google drive and share the link with you either here or by PM if I can't link it here due to the spam protection. Hopefully I'll have it to you within the next day if my connection becomes stable enough to upload.

Here you are MotoJunkie01, I decided to keep the extended name on the file to show exactly what Partition Backup and Restore spit out should there be something different that's needed.

Quite the write up there, thank you for it it's very informative. But to be fair flashing through RSDLite it working for me so I suppose I'll stick with it. It seems more straightforward afaik.

Good choice. I, personally, don't see how that's a better option than just rsdlite. But to each his, or her, own. If you need no verity, magisk, and all the basics anyway, why not just flash the stock firmware. No risk involved.

Yep - seems a better choice. RSD Lite isn't the friendliness beast but it's not a bad ride once you understand the idiosyncrasies.
