Root [GUIDE]Downgrading,Unbricking LG Leon!

i tried to downgrade, but this error always shows up, i really need to root this device, lg leon h324t, and i used philippines v10c firmware, what do you think causes the error? thanks in advance :D
No problem! Did you choose the correct firmware? Does your phone is in download mode? Try switching cables and usb ports too. This problem is from detection of device. Cable or USB port losing connection. Maybe doesn't work well ..

Hey man, great guide, nice job ! But i kind of need a little help if you could, i have an LG H340N Vodafone (Romania) v10h-226-01 and the problem is that it came with 3.00 gb available space because the OS takes 4,63 gb ... i have a game (hearthstone) that installs and leaves me with 20 mb of internal space, my question is : Can i flash another stock rom for leon that has more space available on internal storage? because i saw videos with other variants that came with 3,45 gb of available space ...those 450mb would help me alot ! But i am afraid to brick my phone or lose my warranty (especially this). Could you please help me ? I really don't know what to do...thanks alot man and i'm waiting for your answer !

** THIS WORKED ON MY DEVICE BUT IT MAY NOT WORK ON YOURS. APPLY AT YOUR OWN RISK **


Requirements

  • Drivers
  • LG Flashtool
  • KDZ Firmwares(Link 1 , Link 2 , Link 3 )
  • If you're on Europe and can't find a firmware for downgrading use this folder (Only from EUROPE!)
  • Take care by downloading the correct firmware. The links i add are for 4G version.
Please do not mirror my links,I'm counting em!
Instructions after the downloading.

  • Install Drivers
  • Unrar LG Flashtool.rar
  • Download Kdz firmware and copy to the LG Flashtool Folder.
Instructions for flashing the new firmware.
  • Remove the battery and put it back in.
  • Hold the Volume Up button (ONLY) while connecting to the USB cable
  • The Volume Up button needs to be hold until it reaches the download mode section
  • Open Device Manager (If you don't know how check #2 Post)
  • Change the LGE Mobile USB Serial port to COM 20
  • Open Flash Tool
  • Select Type: 3GQCT
  • PhoneMode: EMERGENCY
  • KDZ : The kdz you download. It must be at same folder as the LG Flash tool!
  • Click on Normal Flash
  • Click on Clear update registry
  • Country: Different Country

  • 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.
Post #2 will have some extra stuff! :)

If you're having trouble with the instructions after downloading check the screenshots in the #2 post!

So you got MM I never test this guide for downgrading from MM. I think you should start downgrading to 5.1.1 first and then to the last veraion if 5.0.1 ifyou want to.
