Return to Stock--various process failures--What worked for me



I wanted to share my experience with working with a T-MO G4 (H81120i) that I had rooted, unlocked the bootloader, and had a custom ROM. My goal was to return it to stock so that I can turn it in(to jump). I tried:
  • The 2014 LG Flash tool. It failed out multiple times with a "Cannot connect to server" error.

  • LG Bridge tool which failed multiple times too. The device was not recognized.

  • LGUP which was reccommended by someone. I have no idea how you would flash or restore wit hthat tool. So, that was a dead end.

So, what worked?
I downloaded the flashable complete zip for the stock t-mo G4(20i) and then left it at that. Its still showing bootloader unlocked on startup so I asm wondering about setting going into fastboot and OEM locking or relocking. The question is...is this last step necessary?
