Another save, good old LG G2 VS980. That special DLL file is the key to preventing version mismatch (10B TOT on 39A download partitions, etc.). I was ready to do the brute force attack (see link) by shorting the pins when I decided to re-read your FAQ again and saw the special DLL file. Thanks a lot. KDZ kept stopping at 49% no matter what version I picked :( . TOT method initially blocked due to mismatched partitions and TOT file. Now I have a reliable backup phone to my Nexus 6 :good:

Your question doesn't relate to the thread your posting in. You can flash it back to stock completely using the guide in the OP, you don't need a custom recovery to use the method here. But If your wanting just your recovery back sorry do not know only deal with all things stock.
[G2 General] Anticolick:
pls refresh oceanhost links. all of them broken
[G2 General] hyelton:
Refresh which links? None of them are broken on my end..
[G2 General] Anticolick:
now realise when i connect my vpn server. :good: . they turns unreachable. :laugh: By the way how can i flash tot on my linux pc?
[G2 General] hyelton:
You will need to have at least Windows XP to flash it. There's no Linux software for it. So maybe need to use a virtual machine, but I never recommend that.

Relock bootloader???

If I use this method to return my LG G2 ATT (D800) to stock, will it also relock the bootloader?

I'm running the latest 14.1 nightly from LineageOS. Thanks!

Hi guys

I managed to flash my LG G2 (Tmobile).It had original stock firmware,but it restarted itself and got stucked at LG logo-bootloop.Reading this post,I managed to flash the phone with KDZ method and installed previous version of Android 4.2.It finished nicely,the phone started worked for couple of hours,and the it restarted again and got stucked with the message: [608] Fastboot mode started.......And it was stucked.Then I restarted it,and it came up nice.What is the problem?Is it software or hardware problem maybe?
[G2 General] pilicar:
Which one of all these kdzs are the newest one? I accidentally flashed KitKat instead of Lollipop. I'm from Europe and I need an unlocked version. Is it the V30F?
[G2 General] hyelton:
30x firmwares are lollipop. Unlocked determines if your phone is unlocked or not. Not the firmware.
[G2 General] pilicar:
What does the "x" determine? Maybe I heard wrong but it has something to do with security, right? Sorry if I'm being annoying I just wanna know :)
[G2 General] hyelton:
30x meaning any 30a 30b 30c and so on are lollipop.
[G2 General] Zenoxio:
Is there no rom for Lollipop USA? I was on Lollipop, flashed stock just now and now updates won't push me up to Lollipop.
[G2 General] hyelton:
What do you mean? Model?

If you mean you have a D800 you must use an AT&T sim to be able to ota.
[G2 General] Zenoxio:
D800. I have Cricket Wireless (which is part of AT&T) and I've been doing OTA updates just fine in the last 10 minutes, it just won't get me up to Lollipop?
[G2 General] hyelton:
My moms AT&T Galaxy S6 when on cricket wouldn't update until I put my actual AT&T sim in it until it finally updated.

Did you try performing a factory reset?
[G2 General] Zenoxio:
Yeah I did a factory reset once.

I've been on Cricket for 3 years now, so I got to 5.0.2 somehow. Being stuck on 4.4.2 seems to deny me a ton of apps I need to use. :|
[G2 General] Johnsu:
l have the att lgg2 which l believe ls the d800. Which files do l download? l plan to donate to these and anyone that helps.
[G2 General] hyelton:
If it's an AT&T G2 it can only be the D800. The firmware is in the AT&T folder. And you'd use LGUP or the older tot method. You can only flash kitkat. Only way to get an updated firmware is to ota update which only works with an AT&T sim in the phone.
[G2 General] Johnsu:
lts frozen on BlN CRC check

these are the files l used for my tot.

http://prntscr.com/fqna3l
[G2 General] hyelton:
How long did you give it? Usually that determines the computer your using, it's for it's an older machine it could sit there for quite awhile.

Did you use a download manager to download the file? Also maybe try LGUP?

Your in download mode and using a USB 2.0 port correct? USB 3.0 won't work.

Using an Adblocker eh? [emoji23] (sorry had to haha)
[G2 General] Johnsu:
No on the DL manager. My internet ls pretty good :P

lm ln DL mode and initially was using 3.0 before switching to 2.0.

As to the adblocker my 1st trip there yes! lts been disabled though :D

Sidenote:

When plugging in my phone in download mode it tries to install "LGE MTP" and fails.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Odd.

Is there any errors? Or just freezing ? How long are you waiting before force closing the program?

I have issues even on a Gigabit connection (server in a data center) when downloading large files with web browsers. I always use a download manager due to that. But normally with a bad download flashtool would have some sort of an error, but odd things can happen.

While in download mode MTP driver is not used/needed so that's normal.

At this point if flashtool is really just freezing I'd suggest using another computer.
[G2 General] Johnsu:
l waited around 2-3 minutes and lt will unfreeze and just slt there. l then will unplug lt per the instructions and replug and lt does nothing.

windows 7 x64 on this PC. admin mode as well.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yeah slower computers may take longer right after selecting the tot and dll as it extracts it. This is after clicking the yellow arrow correct?? This is normal

Also in device manager you have set the lg com port to com41 correct??

Also make sure your using a decent USB cable. People have issues using non brand, cheap, or controller USB cables those won't work or won't work correctly.

And each time you try your freshly putting the device into download mode? Each attempt you must reboot the device into download mode again.

And again make 100% sure your using USB 2.0. USB 3.0 will cause this issue.
[G2 General] Johnsu:
Yes on the com41

i'll give it a try and report back. Thanks.

recover internal storage

I've done something stupid, as stated here.

And I forgot to backup the internal storage when I had the chance. (Also I was unaware, that it would also wipe the internal storage. Yes, it said "all data will be gone, but naive as I am, I thought it would just do a factory reset, like everything else...)

It is not super important, but it would still be a pain to recover everything I had on there.

I tried a root undelete app in deep search mode, but apparently that wasn't deep enough, it didn't find a single one of the previous files.

Is it even possible to recover files if the partition was probably completely wiped? (I was on Lineage OS before)
[G2 General] Aashir24:
Can I Update

I have LG G2 VS980 and I successfully flashed by KDZ method the latest ROM given in the link, now there is an update and can I install it through system update in settings? Is it ok?

Hi,

I rooted my device out of curiosity to see root files....

Today I did factory reset from settings... stuck in bootloop and not opening recovery mode at all. But I installed Stock firmware using your post... and did hard reset,.... Still my phone is in bootloop, what can I do to? I don't need any files... please help
[G2 General] hyelton:
Did you change anything while rooted? Before doing the factory reset?

What's your model? What method did you use? Did the flash complete?
[G2 General] Abror116:
Stuck in Bootloop

Thank you for the reply.

I am using LG G2 D802

After rooting, I disabled some Google and Lg applications, it was 3 months before.

Today I just did factory reset from settings without any change and then stuck in reboot. Turns on, LG logo shows, 5 seconds blank screen, turns off again Turns on LG logo, blank screen - it's repeating....

Stock firmware flashing completed ( kdz file), again same thing stuck in bootloop. Did hard reset after stock firmware, still same...

I really don't know what else can i do?
[G2 General] hyelton:
How did you buy the device? Are you sure it's a D802? If you bought it used or referb and depending where you bought it, it's quite possible it might not be a D802
[G2 General] Abror116:
It LG - D802, Made in Korea

I have been using it for more than 2 years, purchased from LG store in Dubai.

Good thing before factory reset, backed up all contacts and files...

It's 100 % D802
[G2 General] hyelton:
Okay just making sure.

The G2 and G3 are commonly sold as wrong models and users never realise it until they flash stock firmware or OTA update.

Did you try using the tot method? And choosing board_dl
[G2 General] Abror116:
I think my phone is D802, coz I checked via IMEA and gave me stock firmware as: D80230c.

But I haven't tried TOT method yet, thought it does same thing like KDZ. Should I try?

No TOT file

Hi,

I could not find tot file for my model. Could you please help me with that ? IMEI(from original box): 354198060822578.

Please NOTE: download mode working; hard reset working; No Recovery Mode; i can turn off the phone if i start pressing when LG logo appears till screen turns off . Installed Original Stock Firmware(KDZ) by using IMEI twice. At the end of installation, LG flash tool says completed and the phone again reboots to bootloop.

Can i install custom rom like lineage OS , is it possible to install without being able to turn on the phone ?

Thank you
[G2 General] hyelton:
Never post your IMEI in public.

So have you tried the tot method though? Using the tot file and choosing board_dl??

No you must have twrp to flash a custom rom.
[G2 General] Abror116:
Hi,

No i didn't try TOT method as I couldn't find tot file for my phone model.

Where can I get tot file for my phone?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Links are in the guide in this thread.

http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/D802+tot/

Be sure you flash the one ending in 16GB if you have a 16GB variant or 32GB if you have the 32GB variant. .
[G2 General] Abror116:
Hi

Thank you very much! My phone is on to Kitkat! You are lifesaver!

Last question please : At the end of installation the phone rebooted fine but LG Flash tool showed that the process failed as couldn't check recovery, is it OK if I upgrade to Lollipop?

Yes flashtool was almost always "fail" anything after 80% it's done flashing.

[G2 General] hyelton:
Hey sorry I haven't been able to respond to your PM things have been hectic around here lately.

There's only a few it just depends on what software version you want. I'd recommend just flashing the kitkat tot as it's the newest.
[G2 General] Johnsu:
No problem. Life and all. So just grab the whole kit Kat folder?

What's your model?

And have you tried using LGUP?
[G2 General] drumbo1969:
Its a new laptop so Im pretty sure its 3.0. Device is in download mode. yes, LG USB cable and using COM 41.

LG VS980.

Have not used JGUP. I tried flashing with LGflashtool 1.8. Still wouldnt communicate with phone. Laptop recognizes phone when I connect just doesnt "communicate".

I have a 32 GB T-mobile LG G2 (D801), but am in Taiwan where the LTE bands are different. If I flash the D802 Stock Firmware, will I be able to use the D802 bands (which are different from the D801 bands)? I'm reading around this and other threads, but have got my head all turned around....

Also, when I look on the links on the first page for firmware (at storagecow), I can't tell which firmware corresponds to the international D802 variant?

Thanks....
[G2 General] hyelton:
You can never flash wrong model firmware. Flashing a D802 firmware on a D801 will permanently brick your device. Even if it could, the hardware is not there for missing bands.
[G2 General] raymccoy007:
Then i bought the phone i have Android 4.4 on it. Then i get Android 5.0.2 per OTA. The phone works great for years. Last month i decided to root my LG2 because i want to try Android Nougat. I used the LGG2-802-OneClickRootRecoveryV.1.1 script to do so. It works for me. Then i updated the TWRP to the newest version on this site gregtwallace!

It works for me. then someone told me i have to flash a bootstack and for me it should be bootstack-d802-LP_30d-Bump-signed . So went to recoyery and flashed it. But this i shouldn't have done because i got PC QHSUSB_BULK ( i think on android 5.0.2 i had already the right bootstack - i am right?). I think i got the QHSUSB_BULK issue repaired with the srk tool. So i tried to get back to stock rom with the Flash Tool 2014 and the Germany 16GB D80230d_00.kdz. The Flash seems to be succesfull it says ready 100%. But then the LG G2 boots again and again. Maybe i have to choose another method, maybe i have to choose another kdz. How do i know which kdz file i have to choose?

Okay after the phone powered off because poor akku and i charged the Phone without pc. Then phone was fully charged it powers on again und i will see the android 5.0.2 to configure. So i am back on Android 5.0.2
[G2 General] ChrisGermany2017:
So i think that i bricked my Phone.

Story of issues:

Maybe the first Error was: Got a LG G2 800 in a Softcase with 802 16 gb and ordered a 802 with 32 GB.

1 Failture: Missed to override Recovery with Twarp. Thought that AutoRec did this step.

2. Failture: Run a Factory Reset.

3. Failture: In fastboot i followed a youtube Video and override aboot.img, boot.img, dbi.img, laf.img, misc.img, modem.img, persist.img PrimaryGPT.img, recovery.img, rpm.img, sbl1.img and tz.img.

4. Failture: With the only Download Mode working, i set up a windows Machine an Flashed the lg g2 802 Firmware. At 99% done the Program crashed and the Download Mode worked as described but..

Status Quo: The Phone got an LG Logo Bootloop. It restarts every few Seconds. Download Mode stop working with its initial Image. Factory Reset no longer available, because the Phone reboots before.

So i got a brick i think. Or is it worth to try your Flash Tool, even the Downloadmanager did not came up?

In the State before the Download Mode, Windows shown the Device as COM3.

Edit: I think, i will extract the Mainboard from my old 802 with the broken Display. And change the new Phones one with it. Even if its the LG G2 800, The Change of the Mainboard should be the same or not? Edit-2: No its not and its a bad ideaEdit-2-End.

Before i should searching about the differences in used Hardware like, Sensors, Camera and so on?

However, if i lift the Power-Volumen-Button-Part, i should see the true ID of the Phone on the Mainboard.

Anyone know where to find a D803.dll, flashed my At&T D800 with a rogers D803 firmware. Tried flashing with D800 firmware but getting a crossdll error.
[G2 General] hyelton:
You can only use a D803 dll if your flashing D803 firmware. You still have to use the D800 dll to flash D800 firmware. It’s going to be tricky to get the firmware back on your phone.

Haven’t dealt with flashing back after wrong model in awhile but before it involved using a hex editor on the tot file changing the model from D800 to D803 in your case.

You should never flash wrong model firmware. And hopefully it didn’t erase your efs (without a backup it’s gone forever) turns it into a Wi-Fi only device.
[G2 General] Droiddude24:
Is my phone F up if i can't get it to download mode?
[G2 General] hyelton:
That would depend on why you need to get into download mode. Does your phone boot up?

Your using a usb 2.0 port correct? USB 3.0 won’t work and can cause the issues you are having. And are you using a good quality usb cable like one that came with the phone.
[G2 General] kdm6389:
Yes I am using USB2.0 Port, and I have tested 2 cable(WD HDD, Moto G) both the wire working with other phone to data transfer.

Why LUPU type flashing says unknown device, Is this could be issue. (see attachment). Can there is way force flash the unknown device.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Firstly. Data transfer working with other phones means nothing when it comes to flashing an LG device. It’s two completely different things. I would suggest using an LG cable if you can get one for best results.

Google LGUP Uppercut and use that. Unknown means it doesn’t know what your model number is. It has to know before it will work. It most likely says unknown due to having a non common model.
[G2 General] kdm6389:
LGUP Uppercut says the same Unknown. I have uploaded log (LGUP) ( https://pastebin.com/nWCp2tWf )

[G2 General] hyelton:
1. It’s best to flash a stock based rom based on your model # first.

2. Yes

3. That will depend. If non US model yes. If US model you’ll have to OTA update. (If you have the D800 AT&T model you’ll have to use an AT&T sim to be able to update.
[G2 General] evasi0n:
Thank you for replying quickly!

Sorry I forgot to mention, it's d802.

What do you mean in the first answer?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Flash a rom based on your model ie D802. Not sure what model cloudy is built on. Meaning if cloudy was based on D800 when you try to flash back to stock it will think you have a D800 as an example.
[G2 General] evasi0n:
Okay. But a rom from this thread, right?
