I did it, but it doesn't do anything

Thank you so much for answer me, but sadly I do right the process of the buttons ( Vol Down + Power), then appears a small text in white telling me if I want to do the factory reset, I press power twice, it says confirmed, but then turns off and the bootloop starts again, I have watched a video and is suppose that after of the little text of "confirm" a series of commands in white have to appear doing the process. Please help me I don't know what else I can do. Is there a software capable of force the wipe and the flash? I repeat I don't think that the phone is rooted or with a custom recovery, it's all the stock firmware.:crying::crying:

Hi,

Thank you for a detailed write up.

I have a E988, can I flash my phone with E988 firmware from another country, i.e. so as to get version 20c? Would it work?

Thank you.
[LG Optimus G Pro] tharindu123:
Hi. I have lg g pro e980 its unlocked and im in sri lanka. I want to update this to android 4.4 kitkat. I used support tool but it says that i have the latest update. But it has android 4.1.2 can u please tell me how to update this? Please please please
[LG Optimus G Pro] MudaTrucka:
This guide really helped, you just saved my phone! :D
[LG Optimus G Pro] clippy83:
I flashed my e980 back to stock kitkat and it says theres another small update available can i install that update or will it mess the phone up?
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
As long as your not rooted etc, this method is stock so the firmware on your phone is like factory.
[LG Optimus G Pro] clippy83:
Ok thanks im not rooted, i just wanted to make sure before i did that update didnt want to soft brick the phone or anything
[LG Optimus G Pro] eric303:
i cant get the LG flash tool to recognize the file, I have unzipped it and its showing up as RL editor file, i try to rename the file to .kdz still does not recognize any know why?
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Not sure on RL editor file. But what file tot file? Kdz which model?
[LG Optimus G Pro] smjunaid:
thanks for the reply.. can u elaborate more that what custom time is? i never heard of it? is it a rom?
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
I think they meant something else there is no such thing to do with phones called custom time lol
[LG Optimus G Pro] riz157:
Sorry typo meant custom Rom.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Yea but the current custom roms have too much junk in them at the moment
[LG Optimus G Pro] riz157:
Yes true but they do get rid of some of the Korean popup messages.
[LG Optimus G Pro] smjunaid:
can u be a bit specific. am looking for a custom rom that gets rid of the apps and sms issue
[LG Optimus G Pro] riz157:
None do that just uninstall using titanium backup.

"enter pin/password to decrypt"

hi

i used your method with an internasional rom, seems everything wasalright but the device now asks me to "enter pin/password to decrypt".

os there a default pin/password ?

regards
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
That's why I stated that your device will need to be reset after flashing as it.will do that, power off phone hold down power and volume down to reset
[LG Optimus G Pro] riad:
Thanks so much for your queck reply.

1. i did restart the device, i understand that this is not enough. i did not know how to reset.

2. if i reset, will the info in the phone be deleted ?

2. i want to share this link for downloading internationall roms: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=25

Please answer me regarding the effect of reset on deleting info from the phone.

Cheers
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Performing the reset erases everything on the phone except as card.
[LG Optimus G Pro] riad:
"Your phone is not registered yet"

Meanwhile i installed the Tekcel ROM, it did not need a reset and the info was intact in my device.

But when i try to checl for software upgrade I recieve this error message: "Your phone is not registered yet"

It is the same error message that i had in the At&t ROM.

regardless to say I am not in the American contenint.

Is there a solution so that future OTA updates could work ?
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
You can't do updates sadly your phone has to be registered to the carrier you are on for.updates

[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
There was never a 4.4 non AT&T e980 firnware Only 4.2. There's e988 ones etc but that's not really recommended

You got any for the e986 in europe?
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
You must seek the Cow of Storage.
[LG Optimus G Pro] bagslayer:
Nope, only for france in there, not for europe :C

I Need the e98610I but from europe ._.
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
Isn't France part of Europe?

EDIT: there seems to be a few more e98610i KDZs to be had here.

I can only find these six versions for that build, and I'm certain they're all in Europe. :P

E98610I:

France / AFRA

Germany / ADEU

Greece / AGRC

Hungary / AHUN

Italy / AITA

Portugal / APRT
[LG Optimus G Pro] bagslayer:
alright I got the KDZ but there's 1 problem, when I try to flash it I get an error. its like my Phone is rejecting to put in the KDZ via KDZ Updater :C
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
*Which* error? And with exactly which software+version are you flashing with?
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
France is Europe.

F240L - 4G/Lte??

I am new here

I am using f240L (korean set) & found I can't get LTE/4G signal. FYI I am in Malaysia.

Is there a way for me to get the 4G/Lte Signal @ speed in Malaysia?

Thank you

Rzl
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
The F240L supports both 850(band 5) & 2100mhz (band 1) LTE. According to Wikipedia, Malaysian carriers Maxis, Celcom, and Telekom Malaysia might support the LTE frequencies on the F240L. I do not know how accurate Wikipedia's info is though, and you should check what frequencies your carrier supports.
[LG Optimus G Pro] bagslayer:
This is what I am doing ._.

Well, this : is what error I am getting.

I tried flashing it with the france one and the one I downloaded and both ended up in the same way :C
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
Okay, this is the solution: go here and do exactly what they say. Don't press any buttons or do *anything* unless they tell you to. Don't explore, just obey. :)

I just flashed a KDZ for my E980 through there and it went through with no errors.

There is this link that claims that error is because of the size of the KDZ file, but the KDZ I just flashed (E98620A_00.kdz -- I don't recommend, by the way, if you have a 32gb phone to use this KDZ), it is ~1.6gb and flashed flawlessly. So I think using the LG Flash 2014 in the first link above is your path to absolution.

EDIT: CSE flash is for a complete wipe, Normal flash, I assume, keeps the userdata sdcard stuff (maybe).

EDITEDIT: Also make sure the KDZ you are trying to flash isn't corrupted: download it again maybe?
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
You do know That link is the same program and method as the OP :P

E980 at&t
[LG Optimus G Pro] dynamiclynk:
I know a few have issues getting to download mode.

I did this, with power off press and hold vol-up and vol-down, then plug in usb cable . Don't press the power button.

By the way worked great on Windows 8.1, 64bit.

Just ignore the Connection to server failed window during the flash process which is after the extraction process, but don't close that window or it will stop the flash.
[LG Optimus G Pro] KrisM22:
where do I put tot and dll files?

E980 US Boston

I have the 20g tot file.

was on 20h but I flashed a lokified recovery on a nonfreegee (didn't work)'ed phone. So all I get is error on boot - config error

It runs through LG FLASH TOOL 2014 using rc.kdz but says

failed to uncompress necessary files.

and nowhere does it ask me for the tot file.

THANKS!
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Please go back and reread the OP.. There's two different flashing methods. One is for kdz and the other tot. Your using the wrong method.
[LG Optimus G Pro] KrisM22:
Thanks for quick reply! I see no kdz for USA - lots for other countries, which should I use? Thanks. I already had that 20g tot file. Now reading the rest of method2...
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
You'll have to do method 2. AT&T E980 is tot only.
[LG Optimus G Pro] KrisM22:
YES!!! $20 headed your way. A small price for way to re-stock phone - something I have always needed in the past!!!

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!! :highfive: :highfive: :highfive: :highfive:
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Your very welcome :). And thank you so much! LG is such a pain sadly compared to Sony and Samsung.
[LG Optimus G Pro] KrisM22:
You're welcome. I've worked with phones long enough to realize the value of flashing stock and starting over.

This LGOGP is new to me today - easy to root, but freegee doesn't work, but no biggie as I will play with stock until that gets fixed! LOL! Every phone seems a pain when it's new, but this one was easy, thanks to you! THANKS!
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Your welcome :). I currently now own the Xperia Z2 and its been the most easyist phone I've ever went back to stock. Installed 1 thing and 10min later its back. LG requires a little work.
[LG Optimus G Pro] KrisM22:
Yeah, people seem to like Sonys. I am used to about 40 min build when flashing a new rom on the Atrix HD, and this looks to be the same (TiBkpPro). only caveat is i can't backup/restore without a non lokified recovery - but I'd better wait for a fix to freegee cause that's supposed to do it all. But meantime i'm a happy camper!

[LG Optimus G Pro] jimmylomax:
I'm stuck too - third poster with unresolved issue

Did you figure it out?

I'm in the same boat. I just skimmed through tons of pages trying not to ask a question that's been answered.

My E980 has custom Recovery (TWRP + CM11 as well), so I held both volume buttons while plugging in USB to get into download mode in order to then follow method #2. Then, I come up with the same screenshot after pressing the "Yellow arrow button" - The flashtool seems to have found the device and done work for a second and then shows "READY!:". I never got any error messages and I can't think it's pushed the file to the device.

Someone else with the same issue said something about pressing the "C" button. I did try that without success.
[LG Optimus G Pro] KrisM22:
and step 14 says...

hold power button until phone shuts off and immediately hold [both volup and voldn] - download shows and flash starts.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jimmylomax:
still stuck after quick disconnect and reconnect

I just saw this after posting my previous comment. I tried it a few times and am not having success. Did you have a custom Recovery installed when this worked for you? Or, in other words, did you have to be holding the two volume keys in order to enter download mode?
[LG Optimus G Pro] KrisM22:
yes

afaik E980 - download: hold both vol keys and connect usb. in step 14 LEAVE USB CONNECTED

if you screw up just repeat 14 until you get it in download. (flash takes 10 min)
[LG Optimus G Pro] jimmylomax:
...further

Thanks!. So, I can get through step 13. in 14, I am able to power down the device and quickly re-enter download mode via holding both vol keys once again. It sits there without any updates shown on the phone or within Windows. I let it sit for 25 minutes and tried it several times. I never see any sort of "firmware installation progress"
[LG Optimus G Pro] KrisM22:
The updates don't show on the phone, phone just sits there for 8 min saying download. The updates show on that screen with the yellow arrow and ready.

STEP10 - go to device manager and change com port to 41 and force if it asks.
[LG Optimus G Pro] abumy:
The phone will appear to stay in download mode. Immediately you should see the flash tools start the process in the same place it says "ready."

If nothing is happening on the flash tools, the process probably did not start.

Having the drivers installed right, the com port set right, and all that stuff can effect it not pushing the tot through.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jimmylomax:
issue resolved

sorry - I feel sheepish. I thought that when the flash tool was showing port 41 and loading the initial files it was on the proper port and communicating with the device. For some reason I was thinking step 10 was talking about settings within flash tool only. Updating Com port in Windows did the trick.

I send this update to hopefully keep the next moron from bugging you guys as much as I just did. Now off to figure out how to send that beer - and to figure out why this thing device has been so unhappy.

Thanks again.
[LG Optimus G Pro] KrisM22:
not to feel sheepish! the points I gave you were directly the mistakes I made myself. beer goes to hyelton without whom we would have a bunch of worthless phones.

Can someone help

Ok, so I followed this thread some months ago and though I had a hick-up everything turned out fine and was on Kitkat for my E980. (used TOT method). Yesterday I tried to install a custom recovery yet never lokified the bootloader. So what I'm getting is an error message when I try to enter recovery mode. It won't let me use the custom or stock recovery (guess I flashed over the stock). Great thing is my phone works normally. Seems to have no other problem but the recovery. And sadly I can't even flash the stock recovery if I had one because I can't enter download mode. And obviously can't do a Factory Reset. Searching this and other threads is pointless because key words are used in other circumstances. The reason I'm on this thread is I was reading that if you press the vol up+down at the same time while plugging in the USB cable it will get you into download mode. So, can I flash the TOT file for kitkat and get back to my stock firmware and stock recovery. Is it dangerous since I don't have a stock recovery and now have a custom recovery (well sort of).

A little more info: I'm rooted with Chainfires SuperSU. I flashed Cwm from hoangnova LGviet.com (got it from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52945705&postcount=1 and then flashed from there and downloaded freegee.

When I try to enter recovery from the phone being off the only option is a Factory Reset (tho I don't trust it since I have no real recovery) if I try to reboot recovery from Hoangnova's or freegee I get this error message "Secure booting Error! Cause: boot certification verify"

Can anyone help. Lead me in the right direction. Give me does and don'ts??????

Anything is appreciated.:D
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
I'm a little confused what your asking. Are you still wanting to go back to stock? If so just follow the OP. When rooted/custom recovery its always gonna show that boot error in the corner when turning the phone on.
[LG Optimus G Pro] KrisM22:
flash stock again

put THIS on your SD card to escape recovery boot loop.http://xdaforums.com/optimus-g-pro/help/guide-how-to-fix-recovery-bootloop-t2950716

then look at posts 16-20 in http://xdaforums.com/optimus-g-pro/general/noob-to-g-pro-t2975524/page2 to root and freegee
[LG Optimus G Pro] mityman50:
Just want to say thanks for this! After a hundred problems with my phone, this one thing worked almost flawlessly, so it was nice to not face roadblock after roadblock.

What didn't go right, though, was that the whole process only got to 95% and then errored out (it said FAILED!!! across the top in red). But by that time the phone had booted and so far seems to be working fine.

Now let's see if restoring this thing to factory condition has fixed any of it's myriad issues... Thanks again!
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Your welcome! :) remember after 85% its done flashing. The reset is just rebooting so it didn't fail in anyway.

[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Thank you so much! If your having crashes and problems even on stock I'd say you have a hardware issue :(
[LG Optimus G Pro] mityman50:
Figured I might as well put my big issue here, just to bounce off anyone. I've mostly given up at this point seeing as returning to stock hasn't solved anything.

I don't have any LTE. When I first got the phone it worked (this is an E980), then I went to a prepaid carrier that didn't support LTE. Now I'm back on ATT, and nothing. I've gone through everything I can with ATT support and they've given up on me. I can swap my SIM card into a different E980 and LTE works, and I can put a known working LTE SIM in mine and it doesn't.

I fear this is a hardware issue. Any thoughts?
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Check your APN settings???
[LG Optimus G Pro] mityman50:
I'll double check them now that I just reset the phone, but those were checked and changed a million times when I was working with ATT support.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
What is the current APN setting? Just tell me what's under the 2nd tab.

Also dial *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer and scroll down is it set to auto LTE?
[LG Optimus G Pro] KrisM22:
call att and make sure that the phone's IMEI is on your account - if not, NO LTE.
