Hey bro.. Ur best bet to downgrade would be the .kdz and LG flash tool, I think..
 
Hey edodson! The-Truth here. So bcrichster tells me U need an "about IMG" now my only issue at the moment is I know what a boot IMG is and how to run it within TWRP and link it to u, buuuuuuuut I'm not sure what an "about img" is. Bcrichster tells me I can get this about IMG to U using a terminal emulator. I'm just not really really familiar with emulators I'm just starting to figure my way out around one but I will be glad to help if you can give me just a lil more info on the procedure I need to get U the aboot IMG bro.
 
Copy then paste this to emulator..

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/aboot.img

Then hit Enter.
Next, upload somewhere and link him
 
wow OK my bad pretty simple a? lol damn OK gotcha b I will get it to him now bro. lol damn thanks for all but holding my hand here!!!!!
 
The link above is the (aboot IMG.) for the ms345 Leon running CM 12.1 I have since been informed that its the stock Leon ROMs aboot IMG that you need. I'm going to run my stock nandroid and link you that aboot IMG Edodson84.

Apparently it doesn't matter the ROM from what he said, he just still needs the actual "aboot.img" file, not the ".txt" Props and Thank You for helping a brother out! [emoji41]

So through an emulator is the only way to get this aboot IMG?

Heard of bump, What is bump.

It's an LG thing (code lock) that they made so that ppl couldn't make newer/better kernels to run their devices, bump incorporates that code into a modified kernel (like when we add init.d and insecure the boot.img).. Otherwise you'll get a soft brick when booting

Bump is a tool used on devices that have locked bootloaders. So I am guessing that the LG Sunset has a locked bootloader.
I pulled the about.img from my busted device for you @edodson84 and uploaded it to my Google Drive. I know it really does not matter but just so you know my device is a Walmart Family Mobile h345 Leon which is the exact same device as the T-mobile Leon.

U named it about.img?? Its actually aboot.img and im assuming ur device is a pre 10d device??? Thanks for ur help!!
 
Sorry for the miss typing of the name. I was sorta in a hurry with it this morning and typed about and not aboot. A rename of the .img file should fix it. And yes it is pre 10d as I never took the official update for the device.
