Hi. Everyone.

Recently i "hard" bricked my V10 h960a . Which boot-looped few months before however i was able to fix it using tutorial below :

https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/general/v10-bootloop-fix-lengthens-life-t3694064

Using phone with 4 cores instead of 6 is not a big deal , so everything was fine until i deiced to Reset my phone to default. Phone boot-looped again and even after flashing boot.img (modified 4 cores) in fastboot there was no difference, no Recovery nothing. So i went to DOWNLOAD mode which was working fine in my phone but PC didnt see it at all, ( i had checked it on all possible laptops, cables etc ) . So re-locking boot-loader, flashing original firmware wasn't option for me. I had flashed TWRP , but i couldn't find FLASHABLE ZIP with H960A soft.

In desperation i start flashing whatever i had found on XDA DEV FORUM , flashable soft for T-MOBILE etc ( even when was not recommended )

So after good few hours of studying i made it !!! I had cooked my first flashable ROM in TWRP using ASSAYYED_KITCHEN_V1.82_STABLE .

I had to extract H960A30b_00_0616 KDZ FILE , to get system.img, i already had boot.img from the very 1st link in this post.

After flashing my STOCK ROM in TWRP, everything was fine until i boot to the system, i couldn't pass step after choosing the NETWORK ( wifi or mobile ) i was getting FORCE CLOSE windows popup with GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES , anyway i got this solved too :)

So if anyone looking for flashable zip for H960A Android Nougat 7.0 ( H960A30b_00_0616.kdz ) with 4 cores boot image, just let me know or i might open another post with tutorial.

PS. there is option to get DEODEXED, ROOTED, BUSYBOX etc stock rom but i dindt try it
