Lost access to internal storage

I recently flashed the kdz file for e988 on my e980 and now I have lost access to the internal storage.

My phone shows as e988 in phone info. I tried to flash the tot file for e980 using the LG Flash Tool but it comes up with an error "wrong dll or file".

How can I get back my phone to saying e980.
[LG Optimus G Pro] :
Thanks

Thanks for this.

It brought back my device.

I had the "download failed" at ~97%. Unhooked device, powered it off, powered it on, and it loaded up OK.

ROOT

OK...... I have been away from the rooting/dev scene for over a year now. I was last heavily involved in the work done in the htc amaze and in the htc inspire and a few others.

I have 2 LG Optimus G pros.

One did not have the update and I was able to root it fine and getting ready to flash a rom.

The other one however has the att 1/8 update and it seems that the method mentioned here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2362657&postcount=1 is going to make me soft brick my phone then I have to follow this threads directions on how to unbrick???A Am I a missing something here?

I hate to sound like a newbie but I feel like one all over again.

Also- my current phone that has the update is unlocked to Tmobile on lte and working great on LTE and all. Just want to make sure I am doing the right thing to root. I hate all the bloatware. SUCKS.

Any help is def appreciated.

DLL for german E986?

Where can I find a DLL and a TOT file for the german E986?
[LG Optimus G Pro] kmmatney:
Didn't quite work...

I downloaded everything and all went well until I finally started to download the DLL and TOT file to my USA AT&T E980 phone. It fails after a few seconds with a message:

Bin Model is Different

Check DLL or BIN file!

Not sure what is wrong. I tried 2 different TOT files (V10p and V10g) and they both give me this same error.

Nevermind - It's working now! I didn't notice that the V10p ROM was still in the list when I added the V10g ROM.

So it seems you have to use the original ROM from April 2013 when you use this - the newer Nov 2013 ROM doesn't work. No big deal.

Thanks - this really saved me!
[LG Optimus G Pro] BlobDover:
"When it's done, it'll automatically reboot into your stock AT&T rom and all of your data and internal sdcard files are gone."

What if you don't have a rom period?
[LG Optimus G Pro] kmmatney:
I don't think it matters - the whole point of this procedure is to get the phone back to it's original factory state. As long as you have an SD card in the device, it will overwrite it with the stock ROM. The external SD card is untouched.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Poclypse901:
You are right. It works like a charm with V10G. Doesn't work at all with V10k or V10p

---------- Post added at 06:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 AM ----------

In that case you will need to flash the kdz file for your device using kdz flasher. Once done you will end up loosing all the data in the internal memory.

3.	Press and hold the power button until the phone powers down.

4.	Release the power button

Drivers initialization

1. Put the phone into download mode. (Turn off device, keep pressing volume down while plugging in the micro usb cable. If this doesn't work, try holding both volume keys instead)

2. Let the phone initialize and install the drivers. Once done, in Device manager, you should see the LG phone listed under COM ports (something along these lines).

3. Find that LG entry in Device Manager, click on Properties, Advanced and then change the COM port to COM41 and close/save.

4. Unplug your phone! Important step.

Ok guys,

I can't find the phone in device manager.

I've installed, uninstalled and reinstalled the driver but nothing comes up.

Is there another version of lg flash tools that doesn't make you jump through all these hoops? a properly cracked one? with the dll file?

Download stops after 4 secs with an error

Hi All,

I'm new to flashing ROMs and need urgent help. I tryed CyanogenMod 11 on my AT&T LG OGP E980 and worked fine. I took some confidence after that and tried to go back to the latest stock firmware (KitKat) but, as you can guess, I got a bricked phone after reboot. The E980 shows the LG logo with the message "Secure booting Error Cause: certification boot verify".

I followed carefully this guide and managed to get the LG flash tool, drivers, COM port to 41 and the phone in DL mode. The problem I have now is that the download stops after 4 seconds saying "Device Model is different! Check Phone or DLL! F0000002". I'm trying to download "LGE980AT-01-V10g-310-410-APR-03-2013+0.tot" and "LGE980_20130314_LGFLASHv151.dll", is that wrong?

I bought this phone through Amazon three weeks ago, it is an unlocked AT&T LG Optimus G Pro E980. It has also TWRP installed but I can't get to it. Help please! and thank you in advance ...
[LG Optimus G Pro] Mervingio:
Search for Megalock.dll
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
Thank you for your answer, I've replaced the supplied Megalock.dll in the LGFlashTool directory for one supposedly patched, the original is about 116k, the patched dll 7k aprox. The problem remains the same, FlashTool stops after 4 sec with: "Device Model is different" Check phone or DLL F0000002".

I tried two different .tot files: "LGE980AT-01-V10g-310-410-APR-03-2013+0.tot" and "LGE980AT-00-V10p-ATT-US-NOV-22-2013+0.tot", both with the same DLL: "LGE980_20130314_LGFLASHv151.dll" with the same luck.

Any other suggestion? Thank you!

After banging my head with several different threads for unbricking my LG E980, for straight three days, THIS THREAD WORKKS....

As far as the registration key for LgFlashTools, just download Maglock dll, just search for it in the forum.

vzw lg g2?

Would this method (in the OP) work on a Verizon LG G2?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Mervingio:
Try another USB port.
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
I tryed several different USB ports, no luck, the flash tools continues stopping after 4 secs saying "Device model is different". I have more clues: I booted the phone in recovery mode and got access to adb. There are two strange things, there is a screen in Korean (I had the phone rooted and with TRWP installed, but apparently is gone) and the "adb devices" cmd shows it as "LG-F240S-LGF240S570ac6ab". This leads me to think that perhaps the image I flashed, supposedly a KitKat E980, was actually a Korean version. I will be more careful regarding dubious tutorials and downloads next time. Anyway, is there a possibility that the flash tool checks for the model and finds that can't proceed because isn't an E980 anymore? If that's the case, is there a way to install back or fix TRWP through adb?, other procedure? any suggestion? Thank you very much!

If I'm in the wrong for asking this please let me know.

Will that serial work? If not please PM me one that will.
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
If what you found starts with 39 and ends with T8, then yes, it works. You also have to replace megalock.dll from "C:\LG\LGFlashTool" with this one: "https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B34qnFE3O_HbdkpkcmV6Z3ZpYmc". Remember to change the PC date to something before July 2012. Once you have it working, you can upgrade to Flash Tools 1.8. from here "http://boxhost.co.uk/0yao1yi9l81z/Setup_LGFlashTool_1.8.1.1023.exe.htm" if you wish, it won't ask for a serial.

---------- Post added at 02:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 AM ----------

Yes, you have to root it again after flashing a stock rom.

---------- Post added at 02:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 AM ----------

The reboot at 85% is correct. Open the windows device manager and ensure your phone is detected as COM 41 under Ports (COM and LPT) before flashing, don't close it. After flashing, after the phone reboots at 85% and completes the boot cycle, verify that it is still detected as COM 41, if it is not, the flash tool will stop with that fail message even if it was successful.

Hi there! After following the exact instructions, which have always worked before, I now cannot boot into recovery. It almost appears as if there IS no recovery. Any ideas?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your problem, but I've always had to root the phone again and re-install the custom recovery (with freegee in my case) after flashing the phone with this method. It starts over from scratch.

[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
Hi, yes I managed to solve it fortunately. What phone do you have? If you have an AT&T E980 and flashed the F240S or L, then you are in the same situation that I was. Don't worry, is not that bad. You won't be able to solve by this method, the flash tool will refuse to proceed due to a model mismatch. You have to go back to an E980 ROM using the .kdz method first. I suggest to flash the central america claro ROM, I flashed it and works like charm. Once the phone is unbricked and it is an E980 again, then flash the stock using this .tot method if you want.
