What's an LS980VG? What's VG? If a device is bricked its bricked. I think you mean soft bricked. Installation of what failed? Flashtool? Or the firmware? What was the error?
[G2 General] rabbit19:
It's the LP update. I can't flash the ZVE or KK using the LG Flash Tool. I also transfered it in the root directory of my LG G2, but the installation failed. My LG G2 is on Lollipop now, LS980ZVG rom version.

I'm using the LS980ZVE03 rom to reflash it back to kitkat. using the flash tool, it's only on waiting for connection. The device isn't detected. I changed the modem the port to COM41.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Transferred it to the root directory on the phone? That won't do anything. It's all computer and download mode.

Where it shows waiting on connection, did you unplug and replug the phone?
[G2 General] rabbit19:
yes I did. even turned off and switched to download mode. Using the I was successful using the LG Flash tool a week ago, when my G2 is in G3 rom going back to stock. Now it was updated to Lollipop. I just messed up the build.prop because I was trying to sim unlock.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Well the phone has to be in download mode anyway it won't work with the phone on. Make sure your also using a USB 2.0 port and not a 3.0 port. Also make sure your using the cable that came with the phone.
[G2 General] rabbit19:
Yes it is. The cable I'm using is the one I also used last week to flash the LS980ZVE. Should I use the ZVG rom instead so I can bring it back to stock Lollipop? Btw, I also tried using LG Tool and it says, the phone's software is updated. With the LG PC Suite, it can't be detected, though i have reinstalled the driver.
[G2 General] hyelton:
PC suite and and consumer lg tools won't work on the Sprint model as its tot method. So you sure your using a USB 2.0 port? USB 3 ports won't work.

No way back from cloudy 3.3

hi I installed cloudy 3.3 and now i want to install stock 4.4.2 but when i try to install the rom with lg flash tool there is an error that say reconnect your cable and retry again how can i fix this???
[G2 General] hyelton:
You'll need to use the tot method.
[G2 General] kt-Froggy:
I would also suggest trying FlashTool 2014 (not the original one from LG!) as an alternative. It worked just fine on my D803, when I was having trouble booting up after installing Cloudy 3.3, so I had to go back to stock a couple of times. Since then, I successfully installed Cloudy 3.3 (currently running it), but this was the method I used to recover from the botched Cloudy flash.
[G2 General] hyelton:
? LG flash tool is FlashTool 2014. If your running a custom rom some interfere somehow and only way of going back is using the the TOT method.
[G2 General] kt-Froggy:
Close, but not quite... FT 2014 is a hacked/modded version of the LG FT, which makes it so much better that the original one, at least from my own experience (I was using it extensively for Optimus G in the past, and using it now for G2).

I don't disagree with you regarding the tot method (although I never had to resort to it), and you are right that in many cases after flashing a custom ROM you have to do it. I am just saying that FT 2014 actually worked for me in this exact situation (went from 4.4.2 stock to Cloudy 3.3, screwed it up, and had to go back to stock by flashing a KDZ).
[G2 General] hyelton:
You have really gotten me confused lol. Please reread my OP. My guides since March 2014 have had the modified FlashTool is them. If they where using an old version of FlashTool then they had it from before or was not using my guide. I took all that down last year.

Some do have problems using the kdz method with some custom Roms. Some do some don't. I never have. But usually the tot method resolves it for them.

When I refer to FlashTool I mean the 2014 / modified FlashTool. Not the old one :) as well as others who mention FlashTool they usually mean the modified one/2014 FlashTool.
[G2 General] manutd76:
Hi,

i have started with my phone stuck in fast boot mode, but managed to get it into download mode.

from download mode I have been able to flash (using lg flash tool 2014) and it was successful, however after that I am still stuck with the LG logo and nothing is happening.

What have I done wrong?

Thanks

D802

It is written on its cover and the software also tells me that its D802.

if the phone is refurbished or the board is replaced inside then I don't Know.

Is there any way to find the correct board number ?
[G2 General] terminator1983:
Can someone share the md5 value of G2 Verizon lollipop VS98039A_05.

Thanks
[G2 General] hyelton:
Did you do a CSE flash? And have you tried doing a factory reset?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Just use a download manager and that'll be sure that the download was completed. Also any file that's corrupt or fully downloaded won't flash at all.
[G2 General] hyelton:
You'd have to look on the board itself.
[G2 General] manutd76:
Hi,

yes I have done a CSE Flash, and cannot factory reset as I can't get into it.

Now I tried flashing a different version of stock and it also succeeded, but didn't start the phone.

however now I am in even a worse state cause when I tried and get back to Download mode I get this error:

Demigod Crash Handler : Critical Error!

Thanks
[G2 General] hyelton:
You do a factory reset using the opposite button combo that you use for download mode.
[G2 General] manutd76:
Thanks, I know and I try that.

when I start the phone by pushing the down volume and power and then release and press again It doesn't do anything different, it shows the LG logo, then the green android icon and then back to the LG logo and sticks there.

Also when i push the down volume and connect to the computer it gives the same error.

I now have been able to do a factory reset , but still it didn't change anything. The phone loops with the green android icon in the middle, and can't boot to fast boot or download. Download gives the same "Demigod Crash Handler : Critical Error!" message.

[G2 General] SnoopKatt:
Thanks for posting the guide, it helped a lot with downgrading my VS980 from Lollipop to KitKat. Some things that happened along the way:

1. When I first tried it, I got an error saying connection to server failed. If you click OK, it stops the update process and leaves the phone inoperable. DO NOT CLICK OK, IF YOU LOOK ON THE PHONE SCREEN YOU WILL STILL SEE IT GOING. Click OK after it finishes.

2. I had very little space left on my phone (100MB) and the update process would lose connection part of the way through. First time 20%. Then I unplugged the phone, restarted the update software, and tried again and it got to 40%. Repeat, 60%, 80%, then success! I think what it's doing is overwriting system files before reformatting the personal data portion of the phone in case there's some last minute emergency where personal data needs to be retrieved. Weird but I can understand the logic.

Hope this helps anyone else who ran into these issues.

[G2 General] hyelton:
What solution? If everything is 100% it should work. Make sure your downloading the kdz with a download manager. Also what error? Tried the tot method?
[G2 General] merta:
Help pls! I tried to flash a stock kit kat rom but it gave me an error to pc and the flashing process stucked. I shut the phone off and reopened it. After this it shows only lg logo! No download mode ,no recovery. It reopens itself when i plug in usb
[G2 General] renesix:
What am I doing wrong?

I'm in the step #8...

I changed the port to be 41 but the Device Manager is showing a "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port" instead of the "LGE Mobile USB Serial Port".

Also the D800/Port is not showing up in the Lg Flash Tool.

What do?
[G2 General] hyelton:
It will show either Lge modem or Lge android net either or will show up.

What D800/port is not showing up? It won't show up till it starts flashing.
[G2 General] renesix:
When I hit the yellow arrow, it says "Failed previous load ()" in a popup.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Phone in download mode right? Also rebooted it after changing com port? And using a usb 2.0 port not 3.0?
[G2 General] renesix:
Yes. Yes. Yes and Yes.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Restart pc?
[G2 General] renesix:
Did it a few times and also the phone. :/
[G2 General] hyelton:
Redownload the tot using a download manager.
[G2 General] renesix:
FIXED!!!

Still nothing.

Stupid and desperated me was jumping/didn't read the step 14 of the tutorial.

Now I'm rocking 4.2.2 :p, but the phone is alive again.

Now... How can I upgrade safely to Lollipop/Cyanogen 12.1/CloudyG2 3.3?

[MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION], Thanks for being so patient, man. Where's your PayPal address so I can donate to you?

;)
[G2 General] manutd76:
I have done the factory reset, and it finished but didn't seem to help.

The phone is still booting into a LG logo and stuck there.

When i try to go to download mode, I get the

"Demigod Crash Handler : Critical Error!"

any suggestions?
[G2 General] gbahns:
I've flashed back to stock and I'm having an issue with rotation not working. Am I missing something simple that would get it working? Thanks.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Try a factory reset first. Also did you do a CSE flash?
[G2 General] gbahns:
I did try factory reset but I'll try again just in case I missed anything. I have not tried a CSE flash, I'll look into that as well. Thanks!
[G2 General] drakes992:
Hi hyelton ....my model is D802 and i have now custom rom and i need go back to stock .....i downloaded kdz files and i run lg flash tools ...when starting upgrade write me connection to server failed...what is wrong? thanks very much
[G2 General] hyelton:
That's normal, just move the window over and youll see that it's actually flashing :)
[G2 General] drakes992:
hyelton i try ...but again write me connection to server failed i press ok and i stuck on 2% in flash tools but in pc ....on mobil still 0% a then write me upgrade stopped due to an error ...what again wrong? ....must be in phone sim card or not? ...in download mode when i upgrading not see port :(
[G2 General] hyelton:
You don't click okay. You move the window over... Also if you still get it stopping at 2% that means you have to do the tot method.
[G2 General] drakes992:
Hyelton .....okey i try tot ...but there is only 3version--- V10a or V10b? ...i have model D80220d EUR 32GB ...which is for me? thanks
[G2 General] hyelton:
You flash your exact model and size. V10a and v10b is just the software version.
[G2 General] drakes992:
Hyelton sorry i am again ...i read now 32GB models dont have a tot file ....try a kdz flash .....what is truth?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Huh? Yes they do. Both 16 and 32Gb models have tot files.

Hello Guys,

i'm trying to enter downlod mode but it's not working. When i press the up volume and then connect the usb cable i just get the charging icon.

I tried the bellow http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51693321#post51693321 but it didn't work.

I also tried to enter download mode using the SRKtool but i was getting critical error.

Is there any possible fix for that? Currently i'm on stock lollipop but i want to rollback to kitkat.

Any help is much appreciated.
[G2 General] hyelton:
You make sure it's plugged into a usb2.0 port and not 3.0? Make sure Lge serial or Lge modem shows up under communication ports?

Cannot get KDZ back to stock method to work, even though I've done it lots previously

I have gone back to stock many times previously using this guide, but for some reason cannot do it now. I'm on Windows 10 but also tried another Windows 7 computer. The last time I did it was on windows 8.1 before going to 10.

I have tried different drivers (LG-Mobile-Driver_v3.14.1 is what other are using for windows 10) cables, including the one that came with the G2, usb2 and usb3 ports, Running as admin and I am all out of ideas.

When you click on CSE Flash in KDZ tool, it goes instantly to 5%, then 25-35% then back to 25%, moves onto extraction then fails. I can use adb on my phone fine if that matters. Here's an quick imgur album:

imgur.com/a/3M7uQ

Any other ideas? Cheers
[G2 General] hyelton:
Are you currently running a custom rom? At times that seems to be an issue and which results in having to do the tot method.
[G2 General] jvmed:
Yes CM12.1. I haven't used kdz before on CM12.1, maybe that's the issue?

I have kdz before from cloudy 2.2, maybe I should flash lollipop 3.3 and try again? But I thought download mode is not affected by custom roms?
[G2 General] EdForce1:
I also struggled using the kdz method coming from custom rom. I could not get the phone to talk to the computer in download mode, even though the driver was fine. When i used the tot-method on the other hand it worked. Couldn't find tot for lollipop for my device, but after completing tot i could use kdz again luckily!
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yes it's something to do with the custom rom. But it doesn't cause driver issues. The computer will still detect the phone it's just the kdz method will fail to flash. But doing the tot method then kdz method will work.

Which FW to download?

Hello,

I want to reflash but I am uncertain which FW to download.

I have an LG G2 that is bought from the UAE. It is made in Korea.

IMEI is : 358635 05 728309 6

I have the 16GB version.

Would anyone be able to assist me? [I need to reflash because the WiFi refuses to connect to any network.]

[G2 General] jordanclayton1995:
STUCK

I accidently wiped everything on my lg g2 d802 16gb international model and all it has on the device is twrp recovery and download mode. I have tried the kdz method and when I flash the stock rom that you providied through the process it starts at 0% and highest i got to was 30% and then the connection gets lost and stops. Is there any way I can get the stock rom flashed on my g2 without losing the connection during the downloading phase.
[G2 General] hyelton:
What do you mean by loosing connection? As in the phone? Or are you seeing a error that says network error? Network error is normal.

Anyway if it's not a network error then you'll need to do the tot method.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Just flash a D802 firmware with 16GB in the file name. There may actually be a UAE kdz in the links in the OP
[G2 General] EdForce1:
Maybe something to add to the guide? I had a hard time finding a solution because i was convinced it was a driver issue, also could not find lollipop tot for my variant... Also you write in the guide for the kdz method that choosing a langue for the Flash tool doesn't matter as it will revert to english, this made the the error-msg during the setup impossible to make sense of...
[G2 General] Hamdhan777:
Thanks will try one out maybe a UK one :p

PS: The UAE one doesn't say 16GB (or 32GB for that matter) in the filename.

---------- Post added at 06:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 AM ----------

Btw, would anyone be able to tell me what "OPEN" in the filename of some of the KDZ files means?

Thanks,

Hamdhan777
[G2 General] hyelton:
If it doesn't have a size in the file name that means it's 32GB.

Open means it's unbranded.
[G2 General] Hamdhan777:
Alright thanks for the reply. I flashed the stock again and tried CM12.1 too. Ma WiFi is indeed dead and need to get the circuit board replaced :(
[G2 General] RXG9:
I just bought a LG G2. It has 5.0.2 Lollipop build number LRX22G Software version D80130b. The phone came rooted. I dont think it has TWRP installed. (does it matter if it is installed or not?) I would like to go back to Jellybean 4.2.2. Should I unroot my phone (via SuperSU) before trying to flash 4.2.2.? Will I brick my phone if I don't unroot?

Any help is appreciated.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Rooted or not rooted it doesn't matter when flashing back to stock. Also just make sure it is indeed an actual D801 as some sale them as wrong models.
[G2 General] RXG9:
How can I make sure besides going under settings, about phone, software information?
[G2 General] pdelre:
I've successfully restored stock via both the kdz and tot method, but after both methods I'm unable to successfully download the OTAs. I'm running a VS980 currently on 26A. Any thoughts or 39A/lollipop images?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Are you on Verizon or using it on another carrier? If your not on Verizon that would explain it. But If you are try a factory reset.
[G2 General] pdelre:
Yes on Verizon. I tried a factory reset after kdz (24A). Will try another on current image (tot 26A).

---------- Post added at 03:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 AM ----------

Same results after factory reset. Likely a big issue is the lack of any active SIM. I've moved to a different phone and was prepping the old one.

The message that displays is "Software download was unsuccessful".
[G2 General] hyelton:
If the phone is not active on a line then that would be why it doesn't work.
[G2 General] pdelre:
Thanks. I guess I'm done prepping then. :)
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yeah it needs to be active on a line. As it phones home to check. It's an LG thing.

Hi Hyelton,

My bad! I kept on changing the modem port, not the Com port, that's why the phne isn't recognized. Thanks Once again!!!
[G2 General] hyelton:
No adb drivers are Not needed. Are you sure your changing the com port? Also making sure your using a usb 2.0 port not a 3.0 port. Also make sure your phone is in download mode.

Why does the kdz method not work for your? Cause it could just be something your missing especially if your phone is stock.

HELP

I am trying to do the tot method but cant find a dll file to download and when i open flashtool there is no select manual mode
[G2 General] hyelton:
It would help if you'd tell us what your model number is. There's several dll files for several models. Also FlashTool has manual mode see the screen shots in the OP
[G2 General] jordanclayton1995:
My model number is d802 uk where can i find the dll file to download cuz i cant find it. whats the exact name of the file? and how do i extract the tot file?? these are the only things i need help with then im sorted :)
[G2 General] hyelton:
You don't extract the tot file, you flash it using FlashTool. Also the dll file is in the same folder as the D802 tot in the OP
