Finally got it.

I was having a hard time so I followed the instructions for installing shttp a different way. I still kept getting "Please update R&D tools". I completely erased everything I had done and followed the instructions exactly.

So what I decided to do was follow the instructions inside in file which said to set it in EMERGENCY instead of DIAG. That sent my phone into a loop. Then I just wiped the data and settings. And it's back to 4.2.2.

I wouldn't suggest doing that as I did it as a last resort and didn't have anything important as I had done factory reset a couple of days ago, which ended up forcing me to upgrade.

I have a D801 and run Windows 8 x64

Why this is happen?
[G2 General] roosxter:

That's not how you do that there is a thread on that. Flashing just an international firmware will prob mess something up.

android noob.. please help

hi

just got a korean LG G2 with model number F320K. this is my first android and I am a total newbie on this. I don't like that my phone has a collection of stock korean telco (olleh) apps and also that my message app keyboard is defaulted with korean keyboard (contact only. for message, it is already english keyboard). Lastly, I can't get LTE signal (sim card is LTE enabled already. Network is Globe Philippines).

I was wondering if I can install the D802 international firmware to my F320K. I'm hoping this will resolve my issues.

If there are other ways to resolve my issues, I'm open to any suggestions :cyclops:

some additional info on the device:

- internal storage 32GB

- full model number: LG-F320K

- android version: 4.4.2

- baseband version: M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190082

- kernel version: 3.4.0

- build number: KOT491.F320K21h

- software version: F320K21h

Thanks in advance

---------- Post added at 08:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 AM ----------

whoops sorry I just read this post. So flashing a D802 firmware to an F320K is out of the question.

are the korean firmwares available from storagecow telco-agnostic? can I use either one? available that I can see are:

home > Xda > LG G2 > Stock > Korean Models Here > KTF F320K > TOT Method > LGF320K_V20f e DLL.zip

home > Xda > LG G2 > Stock > Korean Models Here > KTF F320K > KTF F320k F320K11E_00.kdz

are both for 32gb? will any of these remove those telco apps? would either of these possibly resolve my LTE issue?

I'm ok with having korean keyboard for the contacts as this is least of my concerns which I sort of resolved already by installing a 3rd party sms app.

gather as much knowledge as you can then only flash if u r sure. otherwise wait and read

Any help please?
[G2 General] hyelton:
To start off with you shouldn't be flashing this on your e988. This is the g2 thread flashing this night brick your device.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Did you perform a factory reset after flashing? If not then that's why. Or just because there was an update doesn't mean its the same it could just be a small update for KitKat that recently came out.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Did you follow all of the OP and place all the files in the correct place?
[G2 General] Shanewoodward:
I've used your previous method to revert back to stock at least 4 times already and I haven't had a problem since. This time I've been getting this low battery error and I cant find a fix anywhere :(

I know I'm in the wrong thread, but all the methods to flash kdz on the g pro point to your method only. This method even works for the g pro, I've tried it multiple times before , but only this time an error has occurred. Is there any way to bypass this warning. Thanks for the help!
[G2 General] bFree68:
Please????

Please help! :-/
[G2 General] hyelton:
The method here is the same posted for the G Pro. But the reason posting here can be confusing for other users and they make think that they can flash a G2 firmware that's why its not good to post in the wrong threads.

Uninstall everything and redownload everything that's the only option.

is there a way to install B2C even if there's no internet connection?
[G2 General] Fosterchild55:
After struggling mightily with this process and finally getting it to work, I felt compelled to make an account and share my experience.

For those getting stuck at 49% and realizing that no variant of the process will allow the update to go past 49%, here's what I did. I did a complete wipe via TWRP. I mean EVERYTHING. This inevitably put me in a bootloop. I was stuck at the LG logo and couldn't go anywhere. After then powering off the device and putting it into download mode, I ran the process again and it went off without a hitch. I was completely ready to adb sideload a rom because I had wiped the phone clean by mistake, but tried the kdz flash just one more time and it worked. If you're open to possibly having to adb sideload and start fresh if it doesn't pan out, try a completely clean wipe before trying to flash your KDZ.

Cheers
[G2 General] sarvan_me:
Pls let me know

Hi,

I am a newbie and just wanted to know the answer for this.

There are KDZ being released for different countries. I do understand if a phone is locked to a carrier they have to release KDZ according to carriers. But for all international factory unlocked models there should be only one KDZ right like how apple releases for iPhone. Why is LG releasing country wise KDZ ?

I am from India and can I flash the UK's KDZ ? Will it be a problem. What i see in India is V20a, but people have confirmed in this forum that V20B and V20c has resolved the hissing sound and battery problem . Experts please confirm me so that I will flash the V20B firmware . I am new to Android and this is the first time I am using an Android device. Previously owned iPhone for 8 years.

[G2 General] noduff:
I'm having issues with loading the stock 4.2 firmware for my Canadian Telus D803 with the first and second method.

If I try to use the Telus 4.4 it can't even find the device. :-\

I've gone in and uninstalled all the LG drivers, software, and manually deleted the lg folders under program data and reinstalled exactly as per the guide.

Any ideas? I was able to do this before prior to the download fix being required.

[G2 General] yoitsjustin:
T-Mobile wasn't able to do anything free for me. LG however can repair it for you, I'm not sure how much it will cost you though, you have to mail it in and then they give you an estimate. If they refuse to because of root just leave a ton of negative reviews until they do something about it, and continue trying LG Flash Tool. They need a driverless mac variant of this as well as a more Windows 8+ compatible version.

---------- Post added at 04:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 AM ----------

Some people tried using recovery mode for other things or didn't have one when their phone got screwed up. All I get is a stupid error. So we have to use Download Mode since it's the easiest way for the computer to pick it up. I've been unable to fix mine though, it stops about 10-15 seconds through and says the phone disconnected, but I do also have Windows 8.1 :/.

You need to follow the (manual) guide. I just tried it yesterday and it worked fine.

If you try to use B2CAppSetup from LG you will get this "connect to the internet" error because of the entry in the hosts file (see guide).

[G2 General] woof123:
I got the exact same prob,what is the manual guide...
[G2 General] johndoe-xda:
See the first post in this thread.

First, follow steps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Then follow "Method 2. edit host file" (8 steps).

I edited the hosts file this way in Windows 7:

1) open start menu

2) enter: notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

3) press ctrl+shift + return (executes the command with administrative rights, needed because hosts is a system file)

We are following the guide obviously. The problem is occurring at step 2 well before you even get to the 'manual' part

[G2 General] johndoe-xda:
That doesn't make any sense since step 2 is unzipping.

Maybe you're having problems because you already modified the hosts file before? Remove the csmg.lgmobile.com line and start afresh.

I`m not fighting ;p was just saying no where near a noob with a few things :D But I will ask this does those few extra steps have a higher success rate? If so I will put them in the guide.

[G2 General] Fosterchild55:
What I wiped in TWRP was eeeeverything. I did the standard wipe, and then when it was done I went into advanced wipe, ticked all the boxes and cleaned out everything including internal storage. I don't know what you mean specifically re: stock recovery. I still had to flash the .kdz using the above method (i opted for editing the hosts file as well). When I ran the process, my phone was unrooted (thanks to cleaning out the entire phone) and as such the rooted flag was indeed absent.
