    LG LEON LTE - MetroPCS (LGMS345) KDZ Firmware

    I found a way to unbrick the Leon LTE for MetroPCS.

    Standard disclaimer: This is for MetroPCS ONLY and is the MS34510D version. This guide is for people who have bricked their phone due to messing about with important files/partitions on their LG LEON LTE and found that it won't boot up and gets stuck in a boot loop. The method used in this guide should only be used as a last resort. Don't hold me responsible if this method doesn't restore your phone or makes it worse. THERE IS NO WAY TO DOWNGRADE BACK TO ver MS34510B after using this method.

    Installed
    LG United Mobile Driver 3.14.1
    LG Flash tool 2014 (build 03/07/2014)
    After flash tool installation

    1. Remove the battery and put it back in.

    2. Hold the Volume Up button (ONLY) while connecting to USB Cable

    3. The Volume up button needs to be held until it reaches download mode

    4. Open device manager and changed the LGE Mobile USB Serial port to COM 20

    5. Open the Flash Tool

    6. Select Type: 3GQCT

    7. PhoneMode: EMERGENCY

    8. KDZ : MS34510D_00.KDZ

    9. Click on Normal Flash

    10. Click on Clear update registry

    11. Country: different country

    12. Language: English

    13. Click okay and wait for the LG Mobile Support tool to recognize the device. It takes a minute or two but the tool will recognize it. The software starts the extraction and re-boots at %100. You can remove USB cable, your device will boot normally, and the device is no longer stuck in a boot loop.

    From my knowledge, I think this got leaked from a MetroPCS employee. Since you can't get it by any means unless your an employee.

    oh i see...so i guess the only way to know if the kdz for the stylo is posted would be to try the support tool...

    No because the Support Tool fetches the kdz from LG's server. I already asked Unjustified to check and it is not out yet.

    Edit: I will send you a link in PM

    Does this file remove root? Does it fix bricks? And is it legit?

    Yes - Root will be removed. Fix hard bricked - not to my knowledge. Stuck in boot loop / soft bricked - it recovered mine.
    This is from the LG Mobile Support Tool directory that was downloaded when I did a Upgrade Recovery.. Again it worked for me..as with all things flashed use with caution

    I think it was an update that broke some methods like Kingroot. Download mode root still works though.

    Just a heads up to anyone who uses this or has used it. This is stock Metro Firmware 5.1.1, it has been stated that the update locked the bootloader on the T-Mobile version of this device, it might be possible that the same happens to the Metro version. If that is the case I will try to figure something out for the people that have used this

    Take it from me. 34510d for T-mobile version gives you oem unlock enable option in developer options, kingroot and supersu me was my only way of un-bricked or complete root, and im now searching for a way to unlock bootloader or downgrade so i can install twrp. If anyone needs a gineau pig, let me know. Message me on kik @ powduh09 or hangouts @ powduh09@gmail.com... Will gladly test any methods for unlocking. And have everything i need to recover from soft brick.

    Also, be very weary what you flash to this device. I had no other option than kdz after i flashed supposedly modified xperia apps for any android device. Couldn't even restore my phone from a twrp of another just like it.

    If you have the option in Developer Options then you should be able to unlock that way

    Oh :p My phone is soft bricked so hard to do that.

    I plugged it in and lg mobile support tool says v10b. If I go into download mode and load the support tool it says 10B with an upgrade to 10E available so should I
    1. Try and upgrade to 10E via the support too?
    2. Use the OP method to flash 10D?
    3. Use the OP method to flash 10E?
    It's a soft bricked phone for a month now so I'm not too concerned with what happens to it.
