Thanks to everyone that help to make this happen. You have kept this phone alive.

I told the app to install TWRP but it installed CWM. Not that big of a deal I can use CWM, I just prefer TWRP

Just wanted to share my experience THIS MAY BE FROM OTHER THINGS I TESTED AND NOT THE APP. I just wanted to warn others incase it happens. I decided to use lgflashtool to restore back to stock since I've been trying so many different things. I've done this a dozen times, but this time it it showed the download mode connecting screen and the screen went black. After that it's been stuck in BULK mode. Basically my phone is fried, but again very well could be other things I've been messing with, but don't know. Long story short I just ordered a new phone and it'll be here Tuesday.

This also does not work on att d950 kit Kat models. It will brick the phone. Myself and brandonhatty can confirm this. I just took mine to the att service tech center they couldn't explain it but we're unable to connect to my phone whatsoever.

prolly going to be kk peroid regardless of model. I'll work on adding a check for platform to prevent it from installing if kk is installed.

I installed an old version of freedom flex and do not know how to flash the laf.img file.

like so, or if you have it as laf.bin then use laf.bin instead or .img.

Code:

adb push laf.img /data/local/tmp/laf.img

Code:

adb shell su -c 'dd if=/data/local/tmp/laf.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf'

justinswidebody · May 4, 2014

Everyone before using the app, flash back to stock with the LG flash tool. Especially testers. Reason being, is if you flashed different laf images and other images, you may soft brick your device. The previous version of playfulgods app flashed a different laf. That is why download mode isn't working for some. You need to flash your factory laf

I like my phones like I like my women.... flexible

Same, that's how I just got my new flex. I'm afraid to test given this is my 2nd replacement in a week. Lol
