[REF] LG Optimus L90 Ultimate Thread

[wrenchman76]

Thanks soo much. Buh do you know of any mashmallow rom link? (Stock rom)

Sent from my SM-G925F using XDA-Developers mobile app

I don't think they ever released marshmallow stock for the L90. It originally had kit kat and was updated to lolipop. The link I gave you was for lolipop and as far as I know that is the most updated "stock" rom available.

How to unlock bootloader and install twrp

Hi,
I currently have a lg l90 model D415 running android lollipop 5.0.2. I am rooted with super su and would appreciate is someone could give me instructions on how to unlock the bootloader and install twrp, including how to install adb or whatever driver and/or how to boot into fastboot mode, if necessary. Thank You!

Have a look at the linked threads from this post.

As far as I know, the bootloader for D415 devices is already unlocked.

Bootloader is unlocked on that phone. .. just to confirm the previous post.

I'm using a D405n version. Any advice is welcome.

The steps I found out to follow are:
1. Root with manual http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951
2. Bootloader with http://xdaforums.com/lg-l90/development/recovery-twrp2-7-1-0lgl90w7xxshoxx-t2826150
3. Custom recovery TWRP with http://xdaforums.com/lg-l90/general/guide-guide-to-unlocking-bootloader-l90-t2852917 and instructions under 2.
4. Custom ROM with http://xdaforums.com/lg-l90/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-lg-l90-t3049512

No need to downgrade to Kitkat it seems. Anybody can confirm these steps?

thanks but can someone help me download adb. Thats the only thing i dont know how to do. Thanks

how would i confirm that? However, i already flashed the twrp 3.0.2 img with flashify and it works properly as i flashed the exposed framework zip. Does this represent that it works correctly? Will i be able to flash a custom rom too? Thanks in advance

 

[xanscorp]

If you were able to flash a custom recovery and it boots into it, then the bootloader was unlocked already; otherwise it'd just boot into the system or boot loop.

As for the adb, just check the L90 threads (unless I find mine before then) and wherever you unzip the adb.exe file folder to, open that folder in the explorer window, hold the shift key and choose "Open command prompt here". The adb commands will work then add long as you have the appropriate drivers installed.

Oh... and yes. From your recovery you can now flash custom ROMs. Just make sure they are for that model and the instructions are followed.

Is there any major diffrence between D405 and D410 ? I can buy new D410 a little bit cheaper than new D405., but basically I don't need dual SIM functionality.
I have read somewhere that dimensions (width) are little bit diffrent (so cases for D405 don't fit D410).
Is rest identical? In terms of everyday use, no root, changing roms etc

Yeah, cases and silicon are mostly ok, so no prob there, just pay attention when buying, however big issue are
protective glasses and foils, its quite difficult to find them for d410.

I cant restore my phone back to stock lolipop after i bricked it?

 

[phidias81]

I'm on d410 v20c and I want to unlock bootloader and then install custom ROM:
I was suggested to first downgrade, becaude I can't unlock v20c.
The problem is that I can't find any reliable source for a couple of stock kdz files with aroot available here in the forum.
COuld anybody direct me?
All of the links are from 3 years ago and broken.
The only possible couple I've found so far after hours of research are with kdz 10d downloaded from external sources and I'm not sure if it's reliable
RO/Romania D41010d_00.kdzFile from https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-d410-firmwares/#more-1415
or the same from here http://lg-kdz-firmware.com/download-...10d/11866.html

A friend of mine gave me a second hand phone,
it was rooted and she couldn't get into it so she hard reset it now its stuck in a boot loop....
it loops through the lineage OS start screen.
When i got it to the firmware updating screen it says "910k b100" ROOTED in red letters under it.
I cant seem to figure out what to do.
My computer wont detect the phone, ive correctly installed all the right LG drivers and even used their program you can download that automatically detects what drivers you may need,
i cant even bring up the recovery screen or even a hard reset screen with buttons on the phone.
Do I need to UNROOT it? I am so confused.
its bricked but if it says its rooted still doesnt that mean that the bootloader is already unlocked?
What the heck am i missing here lmao.
i am so confused.

 

[LG_D415]

Hello and thanks for this amazing thread.
I have had this LG Optimus L90 D415 for a few years now. I love this phone for its long battery life and double tap off/on screen. Couple years ago I got another phone to carry with me and use this LG as a MP3 Player, Audiobook Player, etc.
So I rooted the phone with Kingroot APK which was easy and required no knowledge and skill (I am completely Android illiterate Sorry about that.)
Then I started uninstalling all the bloatware like Amazone, Kindle, etc.
But I uninstalled some other APKs that were not bloatware but I assumed I had no longer needed them. I am pretty sure I went too far and uninstalled some thing I shouldnt have.
Now the MTP has stopped functioning. When I connect my phone to a PC, the driver fails to install and the MTP option is no longer available in the notification bar.
Now I have TWRP apk installed on my phone, I have root access, but I dont know what will restore my phone's essential software.
Right now that MTP is not working, I cannot connect to a PC, so , the only thing left is to copy something on the SD card, put it into the phone and use that file. Other methods that require connection to a PC dont work for this issue.
By the way the link https://mega.nz/file/l0czFRzK#gJv0yAxbDZhJ2jxhnaLBlP2ekp_rUqVZ-q8XhOhkAGI is no longer available.
Appreciate all answers in this thread.
Thanks and looking forward to hear
