Help LG Optimus Exceed 2 (VS450PP) Bricked!

Well I guess I've turned into that guy too... :confused:
I have a Verizon LG Optimus Exceed 2 (VS450PP) with some form of CWM recovery installed (I used a LG L70 ms323 version).
For some reason, recovery still boots into stock recovery, but when I chose the factory reset, I see a CWM logo for a fraction of a second..
I tried flashing Cyanogenmod 11, but stupid me, I didn't check if the boot.img was locked. (shoulda Bump'd it!).
Now I get a security error when booting, and recovery isn't working properly either.
I've searched high and low for the KDZ/TOT/DLL files for this phone and haven't found any yet, so I'm turning this over to you guys for help.
Please Help!
Thanks! :)

See here for the LG Flash Tool 2014. Download the VS450PP1_04.kdz from here, and place it in the same folder you unzipped the Flash tool to. Put your phone in Download mode, and follow the instructions from the Flash tool link.

EDIT: Verify the firmware prior to flash: MD5 = 52fc6b95447131dfc999ab1402b85764 *VS450PP1_04.kdz

EDIT2: Some have reported issues downloading this with Chrome (unsure why), so use another browser. It's still alive as of this edit...

I fixed the partition list so it will now work on both devices. I've flashed this on the Realm (LS620) and the Exceed 2 (VS450PP) and it now works correctly. See the OP, as I didn't (know how to) address the screen timeout issue. First thing to do once in TWRP is to go to Settings/Screen/ and uncheck "Enable screen timeout." Hit the "Home" icon and do your nandroid ;)

You need to be rooted, then install Flashify (a copy is in the zip). Just be certain to write it to "Recovery image," not boot. It would be wise to backup both with Flashify beforehand anyway. Saved me from a 3rd full .kdz flash while messing with this. Should you need it, the VS450PP1_04 (full factory image) can be downloaded from this link.

Bumped recovery can be had here. Feedback is most welcome negative or otherwise.

Credits to the OP for initial release, and bcrichster for leading me to the proper tools for editing the image. Thanks guys!

Enjoy!

I don't use chrome, so cannot comment about that. Pulls with Firefox fine. This is a direct link from lg and there are times when the server is down or too busy. Try another browser just to see.

EDIT: I just pulled the entire (811mb) file from the link via Lightning browser on my phone, so it's not a server issue. I don't use chrome on my phones either.

thanks i used firefox and it worked fine! thank you
 
Guys i got a quick question. if you update the software for the Lg optimus exceed 2 (VS450PP2) you can root the device. is there a way to downgrade the software to VS450PP? or am i stuck at this version? if you guys find a rooting method for the VS450PP2 please tell me.
 
Just flash the VS450PP KDZ as described above.
I downgraded one of my PP2s to PP because of the inability to root PP2.

Any notable difference in the PP2, or is it pretty much just security (stagefright) patches? I don't recall looking into this.

I'm getting a Not Found! error on the KDZ link, with different browsers. Could you please check the link?

Hi Guys!

I have spent way too many hours trying to figure this out and can really use your help.

I did the stupid thing and started editing build.prop on my rooted Verizon LG VS450PP without a nandorid backup, custom recovery or usb debugging enable leaving my phone bricked able to access download mode only.

Windows recognizes my phone properly in device manager but I am not able to reflash stock rom. Instead of boring you with writing all the details attached are screenshots of the errors I received.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Sam

Looks like a corrupt download. Did you verify the md5 checksum? Also did you get the file that I linked to in post #6? You also don't need to be in emergency mode, diag will suffice in most cases.

I did receive the file with correct MD5 and still received the errors posted in the screenshots.

Sorry for the late reply, been VERY busy.

Are you using the LG FLASH 2014 tool from the link in the same post? Your screenshots appear to be something other than that.
