Root [MetroPCS & T-Mobile] Unbrick Guide for this?

[sammyz]

Do you all need an unbrick guide or no? This weekend I don't have much homework, so I could make it today if one is needed.

 

[DizzGuy95]

Yes please. I want to try stuff on this phone, but I don't want to brick it if there is not unbrick guide for it.

Just need a tester...preferably someone already bricked

Bring it on.. I wll just get an other phone.
But i dont think we would need to be brick cus i use to use the one for motion just to get back apps w/out brick.. Just Download mode n get back what i need it to.

Yea, so...download this:

http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WDLSW/LGMS659/AMTPTN/V10b_02/MS65910b_02.kdz

Flash the kdz just like how you would on the motion.

Alright so we do have kdz's we could use them later if we end up possibly getting the current root method patched...

Im gonna try this sunday afternoon.. When i get back hm... I wll b posting late

 

[JrossiX]

Yes i did but my offline kdz tool keeps stopping as soon as i start it ..luckily it made the kdz file..i think or was it in kdz form? I cant remember...im thinking something is missing from my laptop cuz the l9 would work great on it....motion 4g as well(in fact i have to reflash that i was fn around and used my sdcard from my girls s3 and i flashed att jedi academy and ktoonsez kernal 4 the s3 and it flashed them both includind team venom rom...but i some how lost the splash logo so i cant get to the home screen.) Sorry way off topic ...no i just keep bootlooping and just factory reset to go to home screen....i did find on that sdcard a file called update2.zip that i flashed and it removes the files that cause the bootloop ran it on my victory about a 1/2 hour ago ..i think it was meant for this phone....yeah i couldnt get my kdz tools to work even downloaded 3 fresh files...hey sammyz wow man i just looked to see if it was kdz and i saw its you ...thanx my boy for all your work..my lgl45c is a pain in the ass..it been bootlooped for 2 weeks now...you know the l9 made me hate lg ...im now surrounded by them ..i dont understand im drawn to them...i cant wait to get my hands on d g2

 

[Krlypumaa]

I believe that instead of cdma it need to be in gsm CDMA n in emergency for it to werk

 

[Krlypumaa]

I bricked my LG Optimus F3, unless you guys are in the same boat.
I would suggest you wait till I test this process.

Will update this post when I finish trying to unbrick.

B.careful i think KDZ is only for MPCS...
@@ Sammy ...correct me if im wrong

 

[sammyz]

MetroPCS is t-mobile.
So it should be fine, if I can get the install to work.
Plus I already bricked my phone, not like I can hurt it much more.
Still 10 more mins left on download of kdz file.

EDIT: The only mention of t-mobile on my device is on the flimsy back cover.
Seems to me like it was designed to be easily transferred to metropcs/t-mobile by replacing back cover and imaging.
EDIT2: You were right, MetroPCS version.
That said it successfully installed.

If you want the TMobile firmware, i have that too. But yea, they're the same.

 

[JrossiX]

can confirm it works...but now im metro rather than virgin....which is kind of cool cuz im with them now...thanx big-mac...btw my colors are a lil off like kind of when the l9 would get p760 flash...but ima give it the bravia makeover...see if that helps.

 

[JrossiX]

Thanx Sammy...is metro boot loader locked?...hey can I please have the Tmob. Kdz. ..my family and I have been with them going on ten years.

 

[JrossiX]

Ummm...so anybody got VM firmware?..lol!...hey really it's no big deal..I just love getting and rooting phones and flashing custom rooms and whatnot. If this phone and I'm willing to bet on it gets a 1/4 of the attention the l9 got, we GOOD! ....but seriously this was my first virgin any links to their firmware?...BTW. I ran the automatic offline. Vbs upgrade....fyi....

 

[Krlypumaa]

VM/Sprint (they use same firmware): http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WDLSW/LGVM720/AVGMTS/LS720ZV5_00/LS720ZV5_00.S5_00.P25013.cab
^^^^ Must follow the Lg motion guide to flash...needs to be converted to KDZ.

T-Mobile: http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WDLSW/LGP659BK/ATMOBK/P65910a_03/P65910a_03.kdz

 

[Krlypumaa]

Another thing is mpcs has GSM/WCDMA/EVDO/HSPAD/LTE...
and tmo.. Firmware does not. Only GSM/WCDMA/HSUPA+

 

[Krlypumaa]
