Reflashing phone after an OTA update occurred...

[AndrewNKeller]

Trying to fix my daughter's phone, that I had previously flashed before using the XT1049_GHOST_REPW_5.1_LPA23.12-39-R-15_cid6_CFC.xml.zip file. Unfortunately it is now bricked and sitting at LPA23.12-39-R-19, and it fails the flash with the "security version downgraded" and "preflash validation failed" messages.

Is there (A) any way to get the full file for the updated R-19, or (B) get the 35MB OTA update and splice it into the R-15 update to make it work?

I have this exact problem. Basically we need the latest stock firmware from Republic Wireless which is from 2016, and has the build LPA23.12-39-R-19. Apparently once you upgrade, flashing doesn't work for older versions because the verification doesn't check out. If anyone could help out and post the SBF for this that would be greatly appreciated
