[guide] install at&t kitkat e980 stock flash + root + recovery - complete wipe !
FOR AT&T LG E980:
Basically, from my experience I put together this guide for anyone who wishes to flash a complete stock AT&T KitKat from .TOT file and the root and add recovery.
All the steps are what I have gathered from around the forums, SO I WILL GIVE CREDIT FOR STEPS THAT ARE OUTLINED BY OTHERS. These people helped by their postings.
FLASHING TOT FILES:
1. The BEST - I think a lot of us can agree - thread for the LG E980 flashing with STOCK firmware is this by HYELTON http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44983841&postcount=1
STOP OVER THERE AND GIVE THE MAN SOME LOVE AND THANKS !!!!
.TOT files and .Kdz files for all versions can be found at Hyelton's thread above. Also, more details for flashing .TOT vs .Kdz files there. Below is some tips from my experience.
Here is the exact TOT file I used: http://www.mediafire.com/download/djjmck2eost77e3/BIN_LGE980AT-00-V20g-ATT-US-APR-28-2014+0.tot
SOME OF MY TIPS: FROM MY EXPERIENCES
2. The only hitch is getting LGFlash Tools and hacking it. I tried the links on Hyelton’s thread but some are now too new to be hackable. For example, one must find the reg key for the new version of LGTools he links to. Megalock.dll is hit-or-miss. There are other ways for sure but I did not bother further.
3. I found that lower versions of LG Flash Tool (v 1.4.1330R) works just fine.
EDIT: The latest version of LG Flash Tools is here http://www.mediafire.com/download/6g1uyoz2zsiqq1c/LG+Phone+Flash+Stuff.rar
And it contains the DLL to be used during flashing. I STRONGLY SUGGEST USING THIS. You MUST -MUST- TURN OFF INTERNET WHEN USING FLASH TOOLS. This pack contains the full software, and dll files. I have flashed using just this package >10 times at least while testing roms
a.Connect phone and let Windows install drivers. In my case, Windows 8 default were just fine.
b.Put your phone in download mode.
c.Connect it to your computer. In case of windows 8 the windows default drivers work fine.
d.Follow Hyelton’s steps.
EDIT: See posts #32and #33 in this thread. Do not go back to download. But wait for fastboot to install. See post #33 for this. Just wait patiently, the phone will reboot to full normal mode/setup screen, then the LG tools will say pass. BE VERY PATIENT.
ROOTING AND RECOVERY:

No Problem.
To do the OTA I guess you went back to complete stock ? Yeah, that is a good option too....! Only, it requires one extra flash (going back to stock!)
Just for info, can you please add the steps to your post.

I went back to pure stock and no custom recovery, then did the 10p update - I found that the update to 10p would not work with other than stock recovery. I then just used the settings query for OTA update, downloaded and installed - all my programs and data were intact after the update, except apps requiring root would not run correctly. I then followed your steps to root. I still have the stock recovery at this point. KitKat runs great.

So when going back to complete stock the 10p, how did you keep apps, settings if you used odin.? Just interested in your procedure since obviously OTA on stock will retain programs and settings.

Honestly, I don't know. I had been flashing lots of different ROMS and then went back the total day 1 stock. I then updated OTA to 10p a couple of months ago and rooted but did not flash a custom recovery. I then heard that 4.4.2 was available, checked via the about link and downloaded. All the apps and data stayed in place. I then rooted and have yet to flash a custom recovery. I'm sorry I can't give you more detail. But I can tell you that I seem to have better battery life, and I had to pair my phone to my car again. Good luck.
i miss network connection
hi, i follow your steps, and it worked, i have KK now on my e980.
but... sometimes i lost my network connection, and it returns in a minute or two

With the recovery installed from this thread. Can we flash non stock custom roms or just stock roms.

I have not used towelroot ever. BUT, I do not see why you cannot add a recovery irrespective of root method. I have done this mtself.

Normally many methods to get root-rights break the Samsung screen-mirroring. The same for the Note and until now only for 4.3 exists a fix. With KitKat we have to choose: root or screen-mirroring.
But there is a work-around which works for me:
- after you got your root-rights flash the stock recovery back via Odin (make a backup of your data before - like always).
PS. The explanation is that a custom-recovery and not the changes for root-right breaks the screen-mirroring.
PPS. I still try to patch the corresponding library.
PPPS. I attached the recovery from MJ4 and still busy to build a zip for ND1. But the old from MJ4 also works.

Thanks - will this fix (and recovery) work with either the COO or US 4.4 updates?
With regards to the recovery - you mentioned the other option is to back up / restore the recovery ourselves. So I'd backup the current 4.4 recovery (i'll google the procedure) and just restore it after per your instructions?
Thx,
Praz

Oops, here I was not clear. No, the only method until now (for KitKat) is to restore a stock recovery. The backup I mentioned was about your data because every flash includes the possibility of losing the data.

Hey Elim - thanks for the explanation. Right now I'm trying piece together the process to root and then restore screen mirroring functionality. It sounds like I need to install TWRP recovery for the root process. Then when I'm done, I'd flash the stock recovery back.
Could you clarify the process here? Do I extract the stock recovery.img from the US kitkat image, zip it and flash it within TWRP recovery?
EDIT: I think I'm good. I used a script to convert the recovery.img to a tar.md5 file. After rooting and installing SuperSU, installed the kitkat stock recovery. Will try screen mirroring once I get home
THANKS. ... got mine working again with your instructions!

Hi,
I am just writing these steps to help those who want to downgrade from KK to JB due to any reason. Please use these steps at your own risk.
Some Background:
Recently I updated my Razr M to KK, it was Locked and Unrooted, but with the help of Twelroot and Motopocalypse I rooted and unlocked the BL.
Now somehow I didn't like the KK and wanted to go back to JB 4.1.2 because I was now having unlocked BL and rooted phone so it was easy but need to follow some steps to successfully downgrade to JB. So an unlocked BL and rooted with KK is must.
Prerequisite:
USB drivers for Razr M must be installed before proceeding.
Steps:
1. download the firmware file [Android 4.1.2
Blur_Version.98.30.1.XT907.Verizon.en.US] from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=8
2. extract the above archive and replace the XML file with the one in attachment.
3. put the phone into fastboot mode and flash the firmware with RSD Lite (attached)
4. reboot and now you have JB 4.1.2
If you want to install root application again and also want to flash custom recovery then please follow the Post#5 [ATTACK] (thanks ATTACK)
Note : for custom recovery you will need the fastboot.exe if you don't have it then install minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.1.3_setup.exe(attached).
Put the phone in fastboot mode, copy the recovery to c:\ and execute the below command :
fastboot flash recovery [Path to recovery image]
If it help you then don't forget to press Thanks button !
Forgive my ignorance but this won't downgrade the kernel will it? I'm hoping it's possible to go from the newest OTA to the stable CM11 but I'm guessing this is new kernel JB. Either way thanks if I can't go to stable CM11 I'll stick with rooted 4.1.2.
Once you have a unlocked bootloader, you do not need to use "root programs". All you need to do is flash a custom recovery via Mfastboot / fastboot then flash SuperSU / Superuser.
In dhacker29's folder there are 2 different recoveries.
"msm8960" is for 4.1.2
"KITKAT" is for 4.4.2

The steps are tested by my 2 times, and there shouldn't be any problem. Make sure you have installed the correct drivers.
Please ensure that your bootloader is unlocked and shows BL unlocked status code 3 on BL screen.
I was also able to successfully flash back to JB with House of Moto via fast boot and full data wipe. It would not work with Universal or Keep Data, had to do full data wipe. Just another alternative :good:

Thanks You Its a Success Downgrade From 4.4 stock > CM11 > Stock rom 4.1 Thank you so much !!!
For those undergoing the downgrade process in RSD Lite and it takes forever for it to finish and the system ends up without data/signal, you need to RSD Lite flash again in order to regain signal. I believe the flashing was sluggish due to the jump from 4.4.2 to 4.1.2 and the many changes that were reflashed.

We have a wiener!
Thank you so much for the guide. After a lot of trial and error (mostly error), I thought that I had bricked my lovely XT907. I finally restored KitKat by flashing the 4.4.2 firmware with the edited XML file (deleting lines with "Getvar", "var" and "oem" in them), then followed your guide to the letter and found myself with a perfectly functional phone once again. No more sticky fastboot loops or audio-related crashes for me!
Lovely guide - thanks again! :laugh:

Hi,
I've decided to base this thread towards other Aussies/Kiwis and I want to ask if any of you have managed to successfully install TWRP or CWM on your V500 tablets?
Because I have literally tried every single thing I could find, after scouring the internet for many many hours, including having bricked completely one device, and I have not been successful in installing a custom recovery.
My colleague thinks it might be because the Australian version of the stock boot loader differs just enough that none of the methods work. (He's tried as well).
So, anyone successful? Because far out I cannot STAND the LG ROM!
Thanks
Take a look at the CWM manual installation instructions. If your aboot is unsupported, then you probably need to downgrade your firmware with lg tool 2014. I posted links to the files you need on post #36 in the CWM thread also.

Thanks so much dude, I got CWM on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You gave me the motivation to try again.
Thanks to everyone involved!
So, I rolled back to V50010_A and the followed the instructions, and got CWM. I still get the secure boot error for a couple seconds which almost had me smacking my head, but then it went into CWM and I jumped around the room
Good to hear. That secure boot error message is normal when you install a custom recovery.
Repacked Stock ROM for SWR50 Version LWX48P
I made a twrp flashable stock ROM ZIP of the LWX48P version firmware. You can download it at SWR50-LWX48P-repacked-signed.zip. Don't flash it with the stock recovery, it is for twrp. The ZIP contains the unmodified files, this means it is NOT rooted, busyboxed or something else. Use it to go back to stock, if you mess up with your system. You can also use the Sony PC Companion to go back to stock.
It includes also the u-boot/bootloader partition images like and from the OTA. If you don't want to reflash them, feel free to modify the zip.
Use it on your own risk.
If you need the stock recovery, too, then you can download a dump of it at SWR50-LWX48P-stock-recovery.img. Flash it with fastboot.
How did you make this? I want to do a repacked ROM with the new 5.1 update.

I just wanted to say thanks for this post. My sw3 was stuck on the 4 dot symbols in MM booting. I tried several different ROMs and XC would not work either. Your pack worked and allowed my watch to live again. Although it is LP, that is fine. At least I can now use it.
Does this version support updates?
Thank you for the post!
Do you know maybe why this version can't get updates correctly? Seems like I get an update or two and then it stuck. Can I fix it somehow?

Hi,
Just try to update from Android menu (Settings->About->System Updates). Sometimes it takes several hours or a day to get the update, but it should happen.
Pay attention to stop updating after LCA43 - the update to MEC24H didn't work and I had to flash again the LWX48P.
Got the lg g3 andriod version 6.0, software version d85230h, looking to root, know you cant do it marshmellow. Anyone know how to do it?. I tryed to downgrade but i cant go into download mode.
I personally downgraded to Lollipop using LGUP and a KDZ file. Then used the One Click Root (Newest Root Method in General section) and installed AutoRec to get an old TWRP version, then updated TWRP with a bumped 3.0.3.0. All good to go!
do you have a link to a tutorial on how to do that?

No I just searched through the G3 forums here and read other people's posts.
1. Get LGUP and your KDZ, then downgrade.
2. Find a thread called 'Newest Root Method' in the General section and follow that thread - it's easy to do.
3. Dig up the AutoRec tool for you variant and install TWRP - Then upgrade TWRP, there is a thread with TWRP 3.0.3.0 in the G3 Android Development section.
Good luck.

Huh, not sure how I can help with that, should be able to hold volume up with the phone powered off and plug into your PC for download mode.

Well yes auto rec works with every version of android till marshmallow.
Download that rar,unrar it flash TWRP with Autorec(app included in rar) in some words,follow that guide.
But if autorec doesn't work go over here and you will find and a kitkat version.

You have Root, go to Settings→About phone→click a lot of times Build number,till it shows "You have enabled development settings".Then go back at the nain screen of settings and you will see this "Developer opinions",click that and scroll down.You will see "Root Access" click on that and enable it.
Greetings.
