ive seen a bunch of threads stating that 10E cannot be downgraded,Bootloader is locked Etc.
the Bootloader is in fact locked and AFAIK there is no way to root 10E
That being said,ive found a way for Tmobile users to downgrade from 10E to 10D,
which is still rootable.
I believe the process would be the same for MetroPCS users,the only thing that differs is the KDZ file you use.
For starters,lets get our drivers & files together on our PC.
LG Driver
LG Flash Tool 2014
Get your proper KDZ file here
at the link above for the kdz file you are looking for LGH345KT[For TMO users] & the build will be listed as such.(i.e. H34510D_00)
bear in mind we are looking for the 10D version.
as follows,clikc the download link on the far end.
once you have your KDZ file,and have installed your LG drivers,lets get to work with the LG Flash Tool
extract the LG Flash tool 2014 to a folder.,& plug you phone into the PC in download mode.
to put your phone in download mode,do as follows:
power down your device
pull the battery,then replace it.
hold JUST vol+(UP)
& plug in the USB cord,once the4 drivers install youll see download mode on your device.
should say "Firmware Update" or something along those lines.
if you cannot run LG flash tool because or an error,install this visual C++ runtime library
now run LG Flash Tool & select the following parameteres in the drop down menus.
Select Type-->3GQCT
Phone Mode--->Emergency
under "Select KDZ File"--->open and navigate to the 10D KDZ we downloaded earlier.
Click Normal Flash,then another window will popup,click "Start" in that window.
then in the next window,click "clear Phone software update registry"
DO NOT tick the "smart phone upgrade windows mobile check box.
under country,select "Different Country" & Language,"English".
then click "OK" to begin the flash.
the LG mobile support tool should popup.it may take a few seconds to start.dont unplug your device nor power it down.once it hits 100% it will Reboot and you now have 10D firmware. search XDA for kingroot and follow the TWRP steps to flash TWRP.
if anyone has any questions or concerns,feel free to ask or post here in the thread.thanks.
