update

finally i got some time to try to flash my g pro to stock, first the link for server to download the firmware was down, but i was able to download it to my phone then copy it to my laptop. after that i followed the steps mentioned in tutorial, these are the issues i'm confronted to:

when i checked in device manager, my phone was under COM12 not COM41, how to fix this?

then when i moved anyway to next step and tried to select DLL file,it was missing and couldn't find it (i did extract the TOT file but wasn't there).

any suggestions? thanks.:o
[LG Optimus G Pro] abumy:
Is the att kitkat tot up? When I try and download it I get a file not found message.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Yes... If it wasn't up the file wouldn't be there. It works fine for me.
[LG Optimus G Pro] abumy:
Hmmm... This is what I get both on my phone and computer before it takes me to a file not found page. The file from April 2014 should be the kitkat tot?
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Yea that's right just tested it again and it came up. Try refreshing that page and try again.
[LG Optimus G Pro] dihcar:

[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Unplug your phone and reboot back into download mode and plug back in.
[LG Optimus G Pro] dihcar:

edit: yipee! finally got it to stock!

oops! sorry forgot to set com on 41.noob mistake.

hyelton you're the best! keep up the good work!

millon thanks.
[LG Optimus G Pro] taha1112:
Anyone know why this is happening?

Details:

I used to use this phone but then gave it to my mom, she complained the phone isnt working, I checked and it wasn't booting

It gave an error message:

----------------------------------------------------

Secure booting Error!

Cause: boot certification verify

---------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, I can get the phone into download mode, I used the TOT method which I used the last time I bricked it, but that didn't work (stayed at "Ready!" but didn't start even when restarted and/or replugged the phone.

Now that I tried the KDZ method, this error appears (check the attachments)

(I'm running windows 8 if that makes a difference)

Thanks in advance!
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
First off I'm assuming you have the att version? If so there's no reason to be using the kdz method as that's for international models, unless you where wanting to put tecel mexico on it for your mom.

The tot method when it says ready make sure you com is set to COM41 and unplug your phone when it says read reboot back into download mode and plug it back in.
[LG Optimus G Pro] taha1112:
I did all that still stuck at Ready :(

(check the attachment)
[LG Optimus G Pro] abumy:
Tried again today and it worked. Thanks.

unable to complete the install

I tried following your steps on my AT&T E980 running software version E98020g running KitKat, After reading the post at "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2754294&highlight=e980h" I was redirected to your post and tried installing "India E98810E_00.kdz" downloaded from link posted by you as you suggested. Infact I am able to root my E980.but when I connect to LG Flash tool(Downloaded from the link you provided) the error I get is connection "problem with communication between Cell Phone and PC".

In my first attempt my phone was not rooted and Developer mode was not "ON"

Tried couple of times after reboots on PC installed drivers as required.

Could it be because of mismatch from the version i am trying to install (E98010E_00.kdz) compared to one mentioned in the forwarding post (E98820A_00.kdz). Or I should know something else.

Yes I am new and trying it first time because of my comfort with Android Stock.

Appreciate your help.

THe support tool gets stuck everytime at 4% when trying to do the software install. Any idea why this tool is not working?? i am on kitkat version 20h need to downgrade to able to root.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
In download mode? Make sure drivers are correctly installed? Rebooted computer? Tried another PC?
[LG Optimus G Pro] dante501:
Thabks for your response i had to use the ATT recovery way and it first wasnt working because the phone first has to be trying to turn on before it is in download mode but after that it was fine let the program put it in download mode.
[LG Optimus G Pro] qcshin:
Help Please!

I am stumped.

I purchased an used AT&T Optimus Pro G few days ago. I bought it unlocked and was using it on T-Mobile network without any problem. I was successful in rooting it and was in the process of installing a custom recovery when I softbricked. No problem, right?

1. I first tried to use method 2 (TOT) to get back to E980 stock. I could not get past 25% no matter what.

2. I then used method 1 (KDZ) to install F240S firmware. Dumb. I know, but at the time I did no know better.

3. I then used method 1 again to install E988. I had signal but only EDGE speed.

4. I then was able to flash E980 stock. Great, but no signal. I tried various stuffs to get the signal working. I flashed all AT&T modems. I tried installing different custom ROMs. I tried using dial pad method. I tried modifying bulidprop, but nothing is working.

5. I have also tried flashing Taiwan firmware, Hongkong firmware, Central America firmware. I have not tried Panama one. I have been only able to download few to try.

I have no idea what I can do to get my LTE back. I do not want to end up using E988 and stuck with EDGE speed if I can help it.

Any help or suggestion is really appreciated.

Thanks.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Keep in mind, flashing firmwares NOT meant for your device can ruin your EFS partion if you dont back it up , that would be the cause of no service... But yet you say you have edge... Remeber 95% of the time with T-Mobile your ONLY going to get edge on the E980. The E980 does NOT have T-Mobiles main 3G frequency. Same for LTE, it will only work in some areas not all..

Keep in mind you'll loose LTE ON E988 due to settings which if you read around you would see how to force LTE.
[LG Optimus G Pro] M1k3Carson1369:
I'm a little bit upset about this...:

So I'd downloaded the Telcel E980H kdz file to use to flash to the AT&T E980.

It took forever because unfortunately I am at a point in life where typical luxuries I'm accustomed to (such as 4G/LTE D/L Speeds on my phone [+ Computer, via tethering])...

Anyway, I went and set everything up, followed the instructions, etc...

Hit the CSE Flash since it's currently on AT&T Stock and I was switching to the TelCel unbloated firmware, and it started going, etc...

But at one point it popped up a window saying GOD-KNOWS-WHAT because once actually flashing all the text in the windows from then on are all just "?'s"... I clicked the only available button to click at that point, and IDK WTF...

But after it all closed and Windows said how it had "Stopped Working", I pulled the battery on the phone, replaced it after a few seconds, rebooted into D/L Mode, and again clicked the CSE Flash button and then Start button in the next window...

only to be told that the .kdz file I'd had selected DOES NOT EXIST!!

I double checked the directory and YUP, IT'S GONE...

Searched the Recycle Bin, and the whole Computer.... Found nothing.... Now I have to spend another 4-5 hours to Download it again... >=C

Anyway, I'll Post ScreenShots cause as soon as the first window popped up while flashing, I got nervous, so started ScreenShooting, lol.

I'm on Win7 Ultimate x32....

And I am aware that in the 3rd ScreenShot, it shows in the tool I have EMERGENCY set as PHONE MODE, but I'd changed it from DIAG after it failed, cause I'd noticed the words EMERGENCY MODE somewhere amongst all the "?'s"...

But yeah, any insight on this matter would be much appreciated... Thanks in advance.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Make 2 copies of the file. When flashing when its done it removes the kdz file. Also make sure your downloading it with a download manager it could had failed due to a bad download.
[LG Optimus G Pro] M1k3Carson1369:
Yeah, I'd already decided that when I get another one downloaded I would make copies.

And a download manager? So just downloading thru Chrome isn't sufficient?

What if the downloaded file is the same size in kb as the linked file is described as?
[LG Optimus G Pro] SirHoover2010:
Where can I find the E98020H for att at? Or do I just use the 20g?

[LG Optimus G Pro] ATENCIO77:
Hello friends! I did performed both methods...

With the TOT method I got KitKat AT&T 4.4.2. I came from CM11 4.4.4 and the battery consumption was crazy, I just could get from 8 hours to 12 hours of use with 3 screen hours, then when I flashed this ROM I get from 16 hours to 21 hours and between 4 1/2 hours and 5 1/2 screen hours. The performing is pretty good but still has 2 things that I'm really hate, the AT&T address Book and the data Icons, so I decided to flash the Panama version that you are recommending.:D

Yesterday I was trying to flash the Panama version. I had to make 2 attemps because the software just arrive until 98% and then said that "there was an error try again". When I check the phone, I notice that it does not has network signal, so I check the properties and I notice that my IMEI dissapeared so I pull the battery out and started again.:eek:

I really don't know, but the flashing tool never came to 100% and told me once again that there was an error, but this time everything was good, I mean, the IMEI came back plus to the network signal.:D

Today i'm going to try Panama version. The data icons are just like must to be, and that its pretty good, there are not AT&T address book and none AT&T Apk, its pretty international I think. Until now the performing looks like its a little bit slow than the AT&T version. I'm going to be checking the battery consumption because that's the main factor for me to keep this ROM.:p

Regards from Venezuela...!
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
As stated in the OP your supposed to reset after flashing that's why when you flashed it again it worked. Also as brought up before flashtool 99% of the time will stop at 85% or above. ... Keep in mind once flashtool hits 85% it's done the rest is just waiting for reboot of the phone.

Flashing Stock Rom for LG Optimus G Pro F240S
[LG Optimus G Pro] ATENCIO77:
Your phone is bricked friend. You must to follow the steps to unbrick.

Copy the KDZ file from your microSD to computer or download a new KDZ file from the servers, download the LgFlashtool, put the phone in Download mode (plug usb cable into PC, press both volume keys while plug micro usb on the phone) then execute the flashtool, select the file and click CSA Flash.

Everything its explaneid in the pictures above.

Good luck!
[LG Optimus G Pro] Mike Sonar:
Flash successfully completed!

I successfully flashed, for the first time ever in my life, my LG Optimus G Pro F240S through the KDZ Method and got my phone unbricked with stock ROM (F240S20e_00.kdz) which was downloaded from a link made by "LG Phone From" app.

Love for all XDA Dev's and Helping Members out there who don't even get commended for the awesome job that they're doing!

Keep up the good work and make this world a better place to live in!!!

Now my Life's Good (LG) and peace is restored. I can **** easily now!
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Just to give you a note on the word bricked. If a phone is truly bricked it can NEVER be unbricked.

A bricked device means its dead and not ever coming back
[LG Optimus G Pro] ATENCIO77:
Thanks for the explaining friend heylton! I'm really a new user in the android world, its just some things are no so easy to understand.

By the way, I wanna tell you that now I'm using the Telcel ROM and I think its better than Panama ROM that has some lags and bugs.

Now I'm thinking to flash a Korean Version, but I don't know how better can be...?
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Unless you have a Korean version don't flash the Korean ROM you'll break a lot of things and the ROM is the worst of them all with bloat
[LG Optimus G Pro] ATENCIO77:
Okkkk! Understood! Some other ROM for flashing that you recommend...?

Lg flash tools gives me a "wrong dll file" error anytime I open the program and when i click ok it closes. I've tried multiple versions and also used two different windows computers with the same result. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also tried the lgnpst method on both PCs and the dll won't register by right clicking or by dragging it to regsvc32 either so I'm stuck as far as I know

I'm using a at&t E980
[LG Optimus G Pro] HelpMeAndroid:
Here is my issue... when I try to implement the 2nd method, for flashing back to stock with tot file (Im e980, ATT US), Im getting all the settings for the kHz method and its asking for for a kHz file. Im an extreme noob so I might be doing something wrong, but to my knowledge I am doing exactly what the 2nd method is telling me to do, but Im getting the boxes that appear above, not the ones its telling me i should get in method 2. Any help would be appreciated.
[LG Optimus G Pro] HelpMeAndroid:
Not the right screen??

So that is not the screen i get at all when opening lg flash tool, well I get the one for flashing a kHz file, like appears above the directions for flashing tot files... mine is asking for a version number and a kdz file... do not know how to get to the screen that is supposed to ask for the dll and the tot file... any ideas?﻿
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Yes... READ the OP... If you read the OP you'll see that there are 2 different methods / programs. One for kdz and one for TOT.
[LG Optimus G Pro] HelpMeAndroid:
Yes, I've read it...again, and again... but the fact still remains that i do not get the appropriate screens to enter tot file or dll.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Post a screenshot of the flashtool screen.

I think your using the kdz tool and not the tot flash tool if you see in the OP there are two different one.

Hello my friend! Thank you so much for this tutorial! Helped Me once again! Now I'm on Android version 4.1.2. How did this procedure of the tutorial, everything is back as it was before! But when you try to upgrade, the following message appears:

Your device has not yet been registered.

You know what I have to do?

Thank you very much! Success for you! :D:good:

[LG Optimus G Pro] idburner:
LG flash tool stuck at "READY"

One thing that I want to you add in the steps for flashing .TOT file, is at the point when LG Flash Tool checked everything and then Stuck at Ready for hours.

The Solution is very simple, just PLUG-OUT data cable from your mobile and PLUG-IN again very quickly. Even sometime only disturbing the data cable can do the work for you.

This may be helpful for those who stuck there.

Hello Friend hyelton! :laugh:

I managed to upgrade to android 4.4.2.

Used the 2nd method to flash tot kitkat into my At&t E980 (got from mediafire) the zip from ur server said its corrupt.

And also asking does it matter if i dont.do the step of powering off and going.into.download mode again coz that made my phone bootloop at LG while if i disconnected at 90% it rebooted itself n everything.is.going fine, Anything i need to worry about, modem etc?

Also it just said ready and didnt auto flash in start i had to press that button C while in download mode to restart again into the download mode to make the flashing work.

Just asking.if i need anything to worry about like modem etc, Otherwise awesome guide thanks a lottt!!!
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
The file in theOP is NOT corrupt make sure you use a download manager when downloading large files. Also after flashing you need to perform a reset.

my phone automatically performed a reset, and i did use internet download manager.

Can u help with this? When someone sends me an sms its time appears ten minutes before mine i tried date and time settings also sms timing fix nothing worked, Is it related to not.doing the factory reset?

Thanks in advance
[LG Optimus G Pro] huizarkaiser:
It doesn't work for me :( please help!

I did the 2 methods, I have an E980 from AT&T, I don't know if has a recovery or if is rooted (but I don't think so because it had at&t 4.4.2 original), but it's on a bootloop of LG logo, when both methods get to 95% the phone restarts continously and the programs finish with a fail. I cannot perform a factory reset, because when I wanted to do it, it just doesn't do anything and the bootloop starts again :crying::crying:, now I can't even turn it on (when is turned on does the bootloop and the color light turn on too) without connecting to the pc or a charger, I think the batery is dead. Please help me I don't know what else I can do. So I resume:

-Can't do a factory reset

-Can't flash tot or kdz, I get a fail always

-I don't know if when is bootlooping the battery charges :/

- I just can enter in download mode.

Please helpme!
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
As stated a ton of times here. 99% of the time it fails past 85%, its supposed to fail, once the phone hits 85% its done the rest is just rebooting. You'll get bootloop sometimes if you don't reset after flashing make sure your using the correct button combo to reset it can he tricky.
