Root [GUIDE] Unbrick OR Unroot LG Motion 4G [KDZ]

ok im getting a "file extract error" then it says "finished"
Also when the ms770 firmware was converted to kdz it says its corrupted... sigh whats going on
I think the link is corrupt or something can you upload it again?
 
lg motion 4gz;4955920]You open the cab with filzip...not the kdz.....make sure it is 566 MBs[/QUOTE]

That's what I did and the file is that big...
What it be too much to ask if you can make a video?
 
I soft bricked (now it's eating a bowl of Boot loops) installing fonts from rom toolbox pro
I'm following the directions and i cant get the file to extract

Unpacking KDZ
KDZ Extracted
Extract file error
==FINSIHED==

that is what i keep getting i've installed the drivers redownloaded the files
and even tryed it on a different computer why is this not working for me and can someone post a converted kdz

The instructions say how to convert the kdz.....
If you want I can try to help you convert it over teamviewer (I really don't know what the problem is with people unable to extract, but I will figure it out.)
 
I check the amount on the download and its not 566mb it was 108mb first time
and 380mb the second i'll keep trying till i get the full 566
 
i think i made a mistake. Is there a way to go back to the 1.2 speed on my phone. It seems like it was charged longer before the guy updated it and i don't want to have him to put any more programs on it.
 
When people convert the cad to kdz the program doesn't prompt a message.With that said if you look at the file size in windows explorer is not instantly 566mb
People aren't letting the file converting finish even though someone already posted that just didn't explain it...

Hope this helps

I need a serial number of a 1.2 GHz phone...PM it to me and I'll see if 1.2GHz firmware was uploaded by LG.

This has been confirmed to work :D

Right now it is likely that anyone here will brick due to the phone having a secured bootloader. Flashing this firmware is your best shot at fixing any brick from removing stuff with root permissions.

Another thing I know is that some phones have been clocked at 1.5 GHz and others clocked at 1.2 GHz.
If your phone was clocked at 1.2 GHz, this firmware will clock you at 1.5 GHz!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's a good thing :D

This firmware link is from a serial number of an LG Motion 4G clocked at 1.5 GHz. None of us know if LG made two separate firmwares with some phones clocked at 1.2 and others at 1.5 or if phones that came with 1.5 was a simple typo by LG. So this firmware WILL clock you at 1.5GHz

Instructions:
Download firmware from here: Official Motion 4G MS77010c_03 Firmware - Android Forums
Download the programs to convert and flash firmware: KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.zip

How to get into emergency mode:
Hold Power+Volume Up+Volume Down
To get out of e-mode, pull battery (do not do this while flashing firmware!)

Thanks to DarkStarONE for how to enter emergency mode.

Before you start flashing firmware, please make sure you charge your battery for at least 30 minutes.

These are the instructions to convert the cab to a KDZ and flashing it:

  1. Install phone drivers (LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN37AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.7.2.exe)
  2. Install msxml.msi
  3. Disable antivirus software
  4. Open UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe
  5. Wait for the program to open
  6. Look for "Encrypt cab file to kdz file"
  7. Click the folder icon
  8. Choose the location of the cab you downloaded for MS770 firmware
  9. Encrypt cab -> kdz
  10. Close program
  11. Open KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
  12. "Type" choose CDMA
  13. Choose in "Phonemode": Emergency
  14. Click the folder icon and choose the kdz file that UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe just made.
  15. Click Launch software update and enjoy!

Ways to get into recovery mode are unknown by me currently. If you have info on that, it would be appreciated to share it :)

Please tell me if recovery is an automated recovery or not.

Automated recovery:
Shows an android and a loading bar on the bottom and automatically reboots into phone when done.

Non-automated recovery:
Gives you options to:
  • Reboot
  • Apply update.zip
  • Wipe data (Factory Reset)
  • Wipe cache

Phones don't fix themselves.

AMAZING!!! IT took 2 tries and about 15 minutes and BAM! my phone turned back on with all my stuff still there. Thank You!
 
ok i finally got further now at the end all the steps go through but an upgrade error message pops up.. "upgrade error wparam/ iparam"
 
ok got this lg motion on saturday read this article and it worked flawlessly. I now have a 1.5ghz lg motion.

just follow the insructions exactly as posted and it WILL work.
also you will have to root again afterwards which seemed harder than reflashing.

PLEASE STICKEY. This saved my new phone after rooting, and apparently many others. I would hate to see it lost in the threads for future LG Motion owners that are new to this like I am. Thank you.
