[G2 General] upp3rd0g:
I want to thank the topic starter for this topic. Using this instructions I was able to successfully write Europe OPEN D80220D kdz file to my Dutch LG G2 32GB.

I found the following confusing:

The warning on not to flash a 16GB rom on a 32GB device. After a lot of searching I was able to confirm from a post from the topic starter that if the filename does NOT have 16G in its filename, then it is a firmware for the 32GB version.

The instructions on the flash program are very vague as there is no explanation on the settings. For instance you apparently need to select CDMA in step 1, eventhough the phone is GSM. Very counter-intuitive. There is a very big difference in CDMA protocol vs GSM protocol!

To me it was unclear that entering download mode (update firmware) puts the phone in a wait state, waiting for the flash program to start. (The phone on-screen information of the download mode suggested something should happen.)

After pressing start in the flash program, with all the unknown settings ignored, you get a new window with apparently some asian text, but on a western OS (US international/Dutch) you only get question-marks, so you have NO CLUE what is going on, besides a progress bar progressing.

The flashprogram crashes at 99% but still the flash went succesfull.

After flashing the phone boots, enters a LG initial configuration screen, but then suddenly reboots. This double boot procedure is a lot longer than normal (building Dalvik cache?).

It would be great if the topic starter could elaborate some more in the initial post, preferably with extra screenshots.

But still: thanks a lot! I now finally have Kitkat as I could not perform an OTA upgrade because I removed an LG application.

I know that there are a lot of people asking for help in this thread, but I could really use some help. If anyone can help me one on one through messages or texting I would be happy to donate whatever they feel is fair. Upon rebooting into download mode after using the firmware tool, nothing is happening. Its probably something simple that im not doing right in one of the steps. My touch screen has a dead area and it seems to be getting progressively worse, so I need to try to return it to att for repair. Thanks in advance for any help.

edit- after I hit the yellow arrow on the flash tool and the program goes through all the downloading stuff, am I supposed to reboot the phone right then, or is there something I need to do in the program after that? Because when I reboot into d/l mode, nothing happens.
[G2 General] th3ant:
Can I confirm that if the fireware on the OP's site don't have any specification in the name as to whether the files are 32gb or 16gb, it is safe to assume they are for 32gb phones?

(I'm specifically looking at Europe OPEN D80220D_00.kdz) Cheers!
[G2 General] hyelton:
Unless it says 16gb there 32gb
[G2 General] serenity123:
hello, i have 32gb HKG d802, i flashed the euro 32gb without any issues, when the phone booted back up the touch screen wasn't working properly seems like calibration has totally gone, i did some how manage to go through the setup and onto the home screen but then again its pretty messed up cant do anything at all. i am also unable to go into the hard reset option using the volume down and power. i then flashed back to the original hkg rom but its doing the same. your advise would be highly appreciated.
[G2 General] shanegarm:
Has anyone figured out why the device doesn't begin downloading the update? I know a couple other people had that problem. Any solutions yet? My computer and phone do nothing after going into download the second time, but the computer is recognizing the phone just fine.
[G2 General] serenity123:
did you find a solution to this? I've got the same issue
[G2 General] Silly Panda:
Hi. I own the VS98026A and I followed the steps one by one, however LG Flash Tool stops at like 2% and informs there's an error and I should take off the battery and put it again... My PC recognizes the phone and a downloaded the drivers by the way.

What should I do?
[G2 General] hash.86:
i have LG G2 D802 32gb ... heres the details...

i tried to flash twrp recovery which lead me to fastboot with no recovery no download mode no adb connection just fastboot...

after two days of reading threads after threads i flashed "pgpt32g.img" "rpm.img" "sbl1.img" "sgpt32g.img" and "tz.img" with fastboot.. after that i finally saw my device booted normally.. but dont know why the touch went crazy... like theres something wrong with the screen... i thought i messed it up or its some software issue... so i downloaded D80220F_00.kdz and flashed it on my phone... once again i am stuck.. now on LG logo... after that i downloaded ""Europe OPEN D80220B_00"" "TMO-EE 32GB D80210B_00" and "UK Open 16GB D80210B_00" and flashed them one by one ... i am still at my LG logo phone doesnt go further....

now... i found these websites here on xda

http://lg-firmware-rom.com/

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b...heck2.jsp?esn=

and yeah i tried searching the firmware with entering my imei and both sites are giving me same kdz now...

my question is if i flash this file now will my device boot or i should just stop wasting my time on it? and what about the touch screen is there any way i can confirm is it software messed up or hardware?

thanks for reading so much for me hope u guys will reply soon
[G2 General] Nirzhar:
Just wanna ask, LG G2 or Nexus 5?

UPDATE

downloaded and flashed "D80220C_00.KDZ" still stuck at LG logo... guys help plzzz....
[G2 General] Dene_Bluesman:
Don't forget to do a factory reset via the button combo. cheers
[G2 General] hyelton:
Did you factory reset after flashing??...
[G2 General] hash.86:
yeah did hard reset but still stuck at LG logo
[G2 General] Shaolin007:
Guyz on the Lg Firmware list site even i downlaoded the 32gb ver kdz file D80210c dats jellybean but when i flashed i got problems dats it converted my phone to 16gb version.

NOTE: On the Lg firmware list OPEN is for 16gb Roms

NON OPEN is for 32 gb roms.

Evn after downloading the correct rom i was facing the 16gb issue....

So i m providing u with this xda link nd evn i have tried it...hope it may help you but here some are written open and some are non open....so i have no idea about this link but i have downlaoded from here....fully trusted.

http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/
[G2 General] hyelton:
Remeber if you flash a 16GB one on a 32gb model you`ll have to go through hoops to bring it back you cant just flash back a 32gb model version and it work.

Also thats the link in the OP :)
[G2 General] Shaolin007:
As u said i tried but did not work had to do adb nd ol stuff to get bck nd den falah correct rom...
[G2 General] therrussian:
problem

i manage to make usb work, beside cdc serial. started the update....worked. now the phone dont start. ui erros and sistem errors. the kdz is corupted? i have a d80220d kdz for a romanian model
[G2 General] hyelton:
Its not the kdz.. If it was coruptrd it wouldn't flash. Make sure your performing a factory reset after flashing as stated in the OP..
[G2 General] therrussian:
thx for answer but is not working, i tried that. even when the logo to boot up is displayed i have no sound. something went wrong for sure. is there any other way to go back to stock then this?
[G2 General] hyelton:
How where you doing the factory reset? No this is the only method for going back to stock 100%. Which does work
[G2 General] shanegarm:
OK...for anyone having trouble with these instructions who is using the d800 (I think there was at least one other person)....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2663369

This is a guide for the same process, but with much more detailed instructions, for those of us who are not as computer literate. After struggling with flashing the stock ROM for a week, I finally figured it out thanks to this guide. It turned out to be really simple...i didnt know how to change the com port on my computer. So if youre having trouble with this process and you have a d800, check this thread. Thank you to helton for hosting the files!
[G2 General] therrussian:
volume down+power button, wait for lg logo and release the power button and press it again...not like this?
[G2 General] adamslast:
I rooted my lg g2 d802 with towel root succesfully and no custom recovery. Now I would unroot for having updates. I restored stock rom twice and did hard reset twice and soft reset twice. When I check , root checker says no root, but still red "rooted" appears in download mode. What should I do to change it "unroot" ?

Edit: Solved.
[G2 General] therrussian:
Problem solved. Ive managed to return to stock with .TOT. now i have 4.2.2...will the g2 update itself to 4.4.2? Cuz if i press check for update it says that i have the last version available

Thx for ur support

For ppl who are facing knock problems the check op solution, worked for me
[G2 General] Legatus Onoris:
I've just discovered that quick memo doesn't work. I have v20g EU, with the previous firmware it worked well. Anyone with this issue?
[G2 General] sportscrazed2:
Pardon the noob question but i'm bricked and rather then toss the phone in the trash i'm gonna try and recover it. I can get to dl mode but twrp is trashed. DO I need zv8 zva or zvc from http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/Sprint/ Well that fixed it. Thank you so much sent you some money. One thing. I totally unplugged it at 94% waiting for 120s reset. Does anything actually happen after reset? Oh and has all the sprint branded stuff been removed? Can't find it anywhere. You really are a lifesaver
[G2 General] hyelton:
Anything after 85% on flashing means its done.

It has been known that the sprint branded stuff not be there after flashing but if you do a OTA update it may come back.
[G2 General] sportscrazed2:
Ok last problem hopefully. I can't find the update touch firmware option on the very latest ota. It was pretty hidden before and now it seems nonexistent. I really need that option. I wish they would have at least put the power button on the side
[G2 General] lumpysherman:
using a VS980 on 4.2.2 11A rooted with stock recovery, it was one of the original root methods that is no longer compatible with upgrading or installing TWRP. So in order to go to KK I need to go back to stock.

Which version seems to be the easiest TOT or KDZ? If there were screen grabs in the KDZ method I 'm only seeing place holders on where they should be, if present was this important?

The only reason I haven't done this already is I'll be doing it on a mac using a windows VM of Win7 in Parallels plus I like my tether hack. I have no issues with JB and the phone is still snappy. Do I want to go thru what appears to be a headache? I'm seeing some people having issues with both methods.

Thoughts?
[G2 General] hyelton:
If your just running stock firmware buy rooted TOT should easily work for you. Its not recommend to do it over a virtual machine that can add in more problems.
[G2 General] truwrxtacy:
i followed the instructions for the 2nd part with the TOT file, it says "model information check failed!"

what does that mean?
[G2 General] ravi_mytouch:
Thanks A Lot!!

Thanks a lot for your Post. I was able to revive my TMobile G2 after it started to boot loop after OTA on rooted phone.

Sent you a small donation for the very useful post!!!

:good::)
[G2 General] hyelton:
Try and look for a cross .DLL file. That error means that the phone your flashing is running a different model number of firmware than the tot your trying to flash.
[G2 General] hyelton:
[emoji1] glad it worked for you. Thank you!

Issues going back to stock

Hi Guys,

Been trying to go back to stock with the G2 D802 which has CloudyFa G3 ROM + TWRP recovery. Having problems such as flashtool shows 60% but phone shows 0%. and stays stuck on this... Is this a driver issue? Also if your setting up the flashtool to go to stock for the 1st time, any tips on doing this properly? I think the problem is with drivers. Is there any G2 specific LG driver to install and its link plz?

Thanks

Sean

Hey, I have a doubt, the only disadvantage of having a rooted android is the warranty thing? Because I heard I can't upgrade my LG to, for instance, Lollipop because it's rooted.

That's what this guide is for.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Off topic to the LG G2 but Anyone going to any of my sites who use Chrome please ignore the false "Malware detected" Warning. Seems that someone has injected a small script into all my sites which (They horribly failed at doing correctly lol) and all sites it went to where 404 so all is good, But just because that url showed up even though it was broken Google Decided to mark my pages with this false warning, Which I have contacted them to remove it, Which will prob be several days. You can still visit it in come by clicking the advanced button or just use another browser. I`m posting this before someone else does. My Sites are all safe.

D802 Pin/Password to Decrypt Issue .. HELP !!

My G2 D802 32Gb had got me in the " Enter Pin/Password to Decrypt " thing , I tried to flash with the flash tool 2014 with the UAE firmware it didn't help .. And tried to Factory Reset via the Volume Up + Down thing and Also .. It Didn't do a thing due to " Error 150 " and " E can't mount / Can't Open "

Went to The Customer Service with the warranty and waited for a week then they come with a response that you voided the warranty with rooting .. And Because I'm in Egypt talking with them didn't make a difference " Your Mobile doesn't accept software "

Tried The Tot way and it comes with Download Failing .. What in the world shall I Do !!!

Did I Download the wrong Kdz ? Do I Need another TOT ? Is there any other way to force the mobile to wipe data and factory reset or just remove that Pin/Password thing ?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Hi you don't have to send a pm, I keep a watch on my threads :). Decrypt issue means you need to do a factory reset, make sure you follow the exact instructions to reset

A thing that noticed

I just noticed one thing that when i flash kdz again the software version that is D80210b remain same in download mode even if i flash D82010c or D8220b
[G2 General] xda-soar:
OP thanks for this guide.

Do you have to have root to use your method? Do you need to install a custom recovery program like TWRP or is there recovery built into the G2?

I am trying to upgrade from JB to KK on my phone as described in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/general/update-g2-t2951879

I am not sure where my phone is from, I am in the US but I bought it on eBay and it is not a US phone. The software version is D80210b. I am attaching a screenshot of my about phone. It is a 32 Mb phone. Which .kdz file should I download from?

http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock%2

It looks like the UK, Asia and HK files at least match my software version.

I don't want to brick my phone, I have not rooted it and am not familiar with recovery.

Thanks.
[G2 General] NotarztMoD:
Hoping i didn't kill my phone!

OK when i try this the program dies at 2% and i can only hit a button saying (litaraly) ??? and thats it. thankfully nothing at all happened and i ccould still go back to cyanogen which i wanne get rid of (need a display replacement from LG)
[G2 General] hyelton:
Explain more? Tot method? Kdz method? Model? Is the phone in download mode?
[G2 General] hyelton:
No you don't need root, this is for 100% stock. You use the programs in the OP to flash. Since it seems you have a D802 32gb model use the kdz method and use a D802 firmware. V10 firmwares are JellyBean and V20 firmwares are KitKat.
[G2 General] NotarztMoD:
KDZ method, yes phone is in download mode. I need to get the Europe D80210A on there. I have the file downloaded and ready to go. LG Flash tool build date is 03/07/2014.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Copy the kdz file into the flashtool folder and try that?
[G2 General] NotarztMoD:
Yeah I figured it might be better to put it there to begin with.

btw thx a lot for trying to helping me out here so fast, much appreciated :)
[G2 General] hyelton:
Did that work ?
[G2 General] NotarztMoD:
No, sry I meant i had it in the folder the first time i tried flashing.
[G2 General] xda-soar:
Thanks. Do you know which file i use or does it it not matter if the file name matches my software version?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Make sure its a D802 and doesnt say 16GB on it. If you get one that matches you`ll software version You`d still be running Jellybean. you would look for something like D80220b.kdz
[G2 General] xda-soar:
Would you mind giving me the name of a specific file? There are so many of them it's a bit confusing. Thank you.
[G2 General] xda-soar:
For the tot method, does it mean "total" in that it is a more total reset?

I don't understand:

"10) MAKE SURE UNDER, DEVICE MANAGER, YOUR PORT IS SET TO COM 41 FOR YOUR DEVICE."

I see a number of ports, on the main page, the first of which is set to 41, is that enough?

Also, I click run and after a few dialogs nothing seems to happen, do I just have to wait?

Just to update you where I am, I am in problem area with this phone. This is what happened:

1. I tried your fast kdz method to upgrade my stock and working 4.2.2 phone to D80220H_00.kdz and got stuck in the fastboot menu. I was not in download mode so I am not sure if that contributed to it.

2. I used this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2477595&page=2 to get unstuck from fastboot mode and it worked and I got to the download mode.

3. He said in the above thread to do your tot method which I ran but it seemed to be doing nothing so I aborted it.

4. I went back to your fast kdz method and flashed the recovery but the phone was in a bad state. The touchscreen was all off, it looked low res, a lot was wrong. I tried to flash a number of different kdzs and the flash process completed but the phone was still very weird.

5. I am able to power off the phone from the regular menus and get into download mode but once it download mode it pops into the firmware update screen whether I am running an update or not. Often it reboots itself for no reason.

I am exhausted, have been working hours on this. I am going to try to sleep, if anyone has any ideas please post.

What can i do to be back on stock again?
[G2 General] xda-soar:
Here is an update on the state of my phone. I am able to do both the fast and tot flash and the phone boots and I get the setup screen. The tot flash has gone to completion once and failed at the end a couple of times.

I get spontaneous reboots often and if the phone goes to sleep it turns off.

The touch screen is messed up so if you touch on one area it registers in another or doesn't register at all like in the notification pane.

I am not sure what to do since I can flash with both methods but they don't fix anything. I did a factory reset and can get into download mode if I get lucky with the timing of pressing the buttons. I am not sure what to do now, feeling dejected.
