Well you cant get into download mode.

Then only option to force qhsusb bulk mode by shorting the test point.

Guy on xda

aftabalam8c2 can help u.

He made a video on how to short test point and phone opening guide for non tech user.

But someone cheated him so he made his all video private.

Hope he will help u.

LG Flash Tool 2014 it's not working for me, any solutions?

My device is LG-D802
[G2 General] hacklockx:
are you sure it is d802?

have u ever flashed stock rom before?

or used any custom rom?
[G2 General] lambo98:
Yeah, I'm sure it is D802

I ever flashed stock rom before, it's working fine. But now the LG Flash Tool 2014 show me that

Help me please!!
[G2 General] hyelton:
The model number should not matter... With the kdz method they could flash a D801 firmware and it wouldn't stop them.. Even though that's not recommended but just saying
[G2 General] hacklockx:
I dont think so.

I tried to flash d801 on my d802..

But it failed...coz tool check mode when flashing.

But when i edited d801 kdz file then ut flashed and my phone bricked.

May be its my case...

Not sure about all.

But if your phone model and kdz dont match.

It will give error.

I am talking about my case.
[G2 General] hyelton:
I'm just saying it is possible. I made the guide :p. On my G pro guide (my first one) it was mostly for flashing the Panama kdz on the American G pro.

Its the tot method that's more picky. Kdz can be picky but its possible. Most errors are simple errors
[G2 General] goodman8903:
Does it turn the Ota updates back on??
[G2 General] hyelton:
Depends on what you mean by that. There'd be so reason why it wouldn't if your stock
[G2 General] JohnnyDBG:
But what do I have to flash again?

In atachments there is image of my screen when I plug device. There is no diference on which stage it is - as I plug it and then when I run KDZ update.

And to be sure - is this really obligatory to take the battery off and then on while using KDZ update (because of info from updating tool after 2% progress - screenshot in atachments)? I've already done it one time (in the past) but there is a lot of "work" to do that - if so please tell me and I'll set out my LG again.

Finally, as I'm tired of everything, I've flashed stock rom from THIS THREAD and my phone works like the new one. I'd like to come back to original stock of LG because of LP OTA (if it will be able for us anytime) but now it was enough of confusion for me...

Thank you very much for all the helpfuly advices !
[G2 General] mehran_286:
this is look like my problem

:confused::confused::confused::confused:

my phone bricked

havent any way ??
[G2 General] hyelton:
That's not a stock firmware. That's a custom firmware. The guide here is for going back to 100% stock as intended by LG
[G2 General] hyelton:
If your phone was bricked you wouldn't have download mode.. As I have said 100 times.

Are you making sure LGEmodem shows up under ports in device manager? Kdz in the same folder as flashtool?
[G2 General] hacklockx:
I need to check it...

When i will be free

I will pm u..

im not sure my phone bricked

because its turn on ....and lg logo is show

tnx my phone is D618

i havent tot file

i have dll and dz that extract from KDZ file

LGEmodem shows on device manager

in flash tool in S/W

i select the dz file its ok ??

what mean in flash tool

"failed Previous Load " ???
[G2 General] hyelton:
Like I said before. A bricked phone is a brick. No power no download mode. You really need go follow the entire OP... First of all you have. G2 Mini NOT a G2 that's a world of a difference and could helped you before. Go to lgkdz.com which is in the OP and enter you IMEI and download the correct kdz for your phone and flash it.
[G2 General] JohnnyDBG:
Okey! Thank you AGAIN!!!

You've made myself motivated and even so there is no info about my phone at any port of PC (each step of my adventure has it's own errors LOL), I found out the way to make it work (I had to make first connection with CMD "adb shell" and then accept it on the phone - for those who have the same error). Then I've made all the steps from your tutorial and now I have pure stock 4.4.2 firmware :victory:

Thanks A LOOOT
[G2 General] kimitza:
When you open lg flash tool,select other country and english. This way we'll know if something is wrong:).
[G2 General] bhavesh31:
confused plz help!!

hello,

first of all thanks for such nice tutorial n giving links to firmwares.

I bought this G2 from ebay , model number mentioned was D802. I am from India.

2 months back I got an update via lg pc suite and I updated it but phone went into state where the LG logo was continuously on and led lights blinking , there was no way to switch off the phone.

I forgot to mention that my phone was rooted by seller and I am not aware of the method or type of it.

after reading about going into download mode I tried vol up + connect phone to pc but it went into Fastboot mode. Struggled with that for 2 months and finally after using mini adb and fastboot I was able to go into download mode yesterday.

now comes the interesting part---> I tried flashing stock firmware using kdz file and somehow the phone booted also but with touch problem, when I touch any onscreen buttons some other part of screen get a tap and after sometime phone switches off only to reboot again but with this touch problem its impossible to go to settings or dialer.

I also tried using TOT and DLL method but the end result is same with the phone booting with crazy touch.

both times I used D802 32GB firmware, once tried Indian firmware but result is same.

I checked my imei number under the battery cover and tried it on official lf firmware site but it tells me that my model no. is D801 !! I also saw on phone's that modell no M/ND801, made in korea.

I think I have flashed wrong rom so I tried D801 firmware, which is shown as T mobile but I am not able to flash that kdz file.

Please tell me which firmware I should flash as LG official site or lg csmg tool is not showing any link to download official firmware, but the model no is D801, made in korea.

thanks in advance!
[G2 General] hyelton:
If your entered the IMEI and it said it was a D801 then it's a D801.. Which would mean you need to flash the D801 kdz. LGs website is not going to tell you what to flash as no company does that.
[G2 General] hacklockx:
Listen dear

Evem your imei no doesn't matter if you have refurbished phone.

But as it saying imei for d801

Then i would advice you to confirm by opening your phone.

Where are u from in india?

I m from delhi.

And you had flashed d802 rom so u cant not flash any other rom coz it will not flash and give error of model different.

Coz your sys propertie has been changed.

But you can flash this.

Kondly search lg g2 cross dll in google or

There is life saving method by aftabalam8c2.

If not understand contact him

[MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION] can I ask for a favor?

You see, I have been searching for stock JB for Northern Europe. I found it here and its almost the perfect file: http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW100885432109876543213/D80210A_00.kdz

Only problem is that this kdz is for 16GB variant. Are you somehow able to get your hands on a 32GB version of this? Hoping for your help mate. Thanks!
[G2 General] hyelton:
Since your looking for a JB firmware there harder to get ahold of due to LG likes to remove them that's why I host them on my server. Did you check my links in the OP?

Any reason why you'd want just Northern Europe?

Did you try lgkdz.com to enter your imei?
[G2 General] metteduch:
Only latest firmware (20H) shows up when entering imei. Checked your link too and its not there.

Simply looking for it because it worked the best on my phone. Got issues on kk that i didnt have when using jb. And northern europe because it would be the same extact firmware including modem that my phone came in from the store. Shame I cant find it :(
[G2 General] hyelton:
Choosing another area firmware won't hurt it, as long as its the same model and size.
[G2 General] Boodeyman:
Can I use the(flash KDZ) method to update from JellyBean to Kitkat???As I don't want to update through OTA because It would download the 20A first which is full of bugs as mentioned by many people and I want the most recent stable version....and also I don't want to update through PC SUITE as I have a slow connection and that would mean I plug in the phone to my PC too many hours until the update completes and the connection might be cut??And if yes how much time does it take to flash the update if all the files has been downloaded as mentioned(I mean the latest steps)???
[G2 General] hyelton:
First of all you never said what your model number is? If you read the OP everything is there. This is meant for Downgrading, upgrading , back to stock and so on... Flashing the phone only takes couple of min
[G2 General] Boodeyman:
Sorry,When I have read the title go back to stock I thought It's meant to rooted phones or people who want to downgrade from Kitkat to JB

And I'm all new to the flash KDZ thing

And It's good you've cleared it out.

My phone model is D802....AME and I used the website you've posted that uses your imei to get you the KDZ file
[G2 General] d00lz:
The KDZ you downloaded will take you to latest KK.

Downgrade from ZVC to ZV8

I have Sprint LG G2 LS980.

Can I downgrade it from ZVC to ZV8 ?

Please advise.
[G2 General] d00lz:
See the Flashable Modem Zips thread.

All modems are in flashable .zip format. Use a custom recovery such as TWRP or CWM to flash. These may or may not break wifi on a stock LG based rom if the rom does not match the modem version.

Always perform a Nandroid backup before flashing something as important as your modem!
[G2 General] vipsy6:
Want to downgrade firmware

Sorry I didn't get the point of flashing modem.. !!!???

I am stock firmware KOT49I.LS980ZVC and I want to downgrade it to ZV8. But not sure same method will work or brick my device during downgrade
[G2 General] Boodeyman:
That's right It's 20C for me
[G2 General] Trilback:
I am on verzion and use the tot method and works great. I think there is a tot file for D802 will have to look back up the link.

Upgrade stopped due to an error

I have a totally bricked phone that still can go into download mode, I have tried restoring stock with the kdz method but I keep getting the error 'upgrade stopped' due to an error' followed by a warning that the connection with the phone has been lost. I have checked around the tread, a few people seem to have had the problem but have not found any solution. I have tried the TOT method, I have a D802 International 32GB, the only files I can find have exe extension rather than tot and the anti virus does not allow them to download. Is there any firmware with TOT extension that will work on a D802? Can the upgrade stopped error with the kdz method be resolved?

Thank you,

C
[G2 General] hyelton:
1. A bricked phone means its bricked, means no download mode.. So your phone is not bricked.

2. What do you mean tot files are in .exe? Not here there not.. Did you check the OP links to see if I have one on my server?

3. Did you make sure it shows LGEModem under ports in device manager?
[G2 General] cacciucco:
Thanks for the reply; here is where I looked:

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

The files have exe extension.

I would much rather use the kdz method if you had any suggestions about the 'upgrade has stopped...' error.

C
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yeah that's my server. Those files are zipped up. There not a virus... All files there are uploaded by me.

Did you check your device manager under ports ?
[G2 General] cacciucco:
I didn't get that far because I couldn't co d any tots for a D802, have you checked the link? Unless I am getting something totally wrong all of those files have exe extensions, not tot. I have no doubt t you don't put viruses on your server but my anti virus does not like them because of the exe extension.

C
[G2 General] hyelton:
Both kdz and tot method require LGEModem to be installed... (The tot method requires the port change) but non the less lgemodem must be detected. Your phone has to be detected
[G2 General] cacciucco:
I see, it's too late here to try now (I am in UK). I have installed the LG drives but perhaps as my phone only works on download mode (looks like the partitions have been damaged because of trying to come away from a dodgy custom rom) the lgemodem does not install? Any workarounds?

C
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yes it is late there :P, But just check with your phone plugged in and in download mode and if its there then its something with flashtool, but if its not need to work on the drivers.
[G2 General] hacklockx:
Switch off yor antivirus protection

And the tot is sfx file.

So you can simply rename from .exe to .zip and extract.

If nothing work then u hard bricked.

And u need to force g2 into qhsusb bulk byvahorting test point.
[G2 General] vipsy6:
By simply flashing a Stock Firmware using *.kdz or *.tot ?

And without brick it ?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Without brick what?
[G2 General] Fade2:
Same problem here with my D802. I flashed KK 20H ROM without any problems. Then I realized that I have to flash JB ROM. But I can't flash it. Error and connection problem. Also something about communication with server. Any suggestions, please?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Kdz in same folder as flashtoll? Running as administrator mode? Lgemodem shows up in device manager under ports when in download mode?
[G2 General] Fade2:
Yeah, everything is as it should be. Like I said, it worked and after KK flash it stopped working. I realised that I'm not the only one with this error. I donť know what to do.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yes but you got to understand. Everything has to be perfect and Windows is not perfect lol... One minute it can work and the next it cannot. Did you download the kdz using a download manager? If not that can cause issues too. Restart PC? Use a different USB port?
[G2 General] cacciucco:
Hi Hyelton, here I am again, phone in download mode, does not show up in device manager as LGE Modem but as LGE Android NET USB Serial Port, might this be the problem?

If I run the flashtool it begins the upgrade process (or so it says) but after getting to 2% I get the error message attached.

I have tried disconnecting from the internet (worked for someone in the thread) but no change.

Any ideas?

Thanks very much,

C
[G2 General] hyelton:
Well there should be several different USB things detected with it, But does USB serial port show up under ports? or somewhere else?

Internet has nothing to do with anything, most likely a placebo haha.

Restart your PC? Try another USB port?
[G2 General] Fade2:
I did download several kdz files but the situation is the same. I've tried every USB connector on my notebook and I've tried another notebook too. I'm about to try even Win XP on my parent's old desktop :D I suffer a lot :D

BTW my problem is exactly the same as [MENTION=5728773]cacciucco[/MENTION]
[G2 General] cacciucco:
Right.... I have tried from scratch on a different PC running windows 7, phone is detected by device manager as LGE Android Modem, I started the process with the flash tool and I get exactly the same result, upgrade starts, gets to 2% and then the same error message appears. Should I give up on my G2 or try something else?

C
[G2 General] hacklockx:
Try this trick

As you get the download mode and connected to pc keep pressing untill flashing progress start on phone..

Keep pressing volume up

Many times...

During the process untill it start
[G2 General] cacciucco:
Nope, didn't work

G
[G2 General] hyelton:
Pressing any button while phone is in download mode has no affect.
[G2 General] cacciucco:
Ok, but is there anything else we can try or is this the end of the road?

C
[G2 General] hacklockx:
I flashed many g2 g3 with this trick when they dont find phone in download mode.

Its my personal exp. Not an universal law.

Thanks..

U rock....

Great tutorial
[G2 General] seanp25:
Trying to use the TOT method to go back to stock.

I've installed the LG Drivers from OP, but when I plug in my phone while holding Up, I get Download Mode on the phone but nothing shows up in Device Manager. Nothing under Ports. Any ideas? When I boot into CM, the phone does appear in Device Manager and everything seems OK, but not in Download Mode.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Did you install the drivers from the OP and reboot PC?
[G2 General] seanp25:
Yes this is after rebooting.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Try another USB cable or USB port? So you don't see LGEModem under the ports tab in device manager?
[G2 General] seanp25:
I tried two different USB cables on two different ports.

I actually don't see any Ports section in Device Manager (I dont have any other ports on this machine).

When I boot into CM I see LGE Android MTP Device in Device Manager under Portable Devices, so it seems the cable and USB port is OK?

I recently flashed the leaked L Rom and then restored a Nandroid backup to CM12, I dont know if any of that affects the Download Mode in some way

The Download Mode I see is a small box in the middle of the screen saying Download Mode and some small blue circles.
[G2 General] hacklockx:
You hard bricked your phone.

You need to open phone and short the test point to force it into qhsusbu bulk mode tyen u can recovery partition and download mode fix
[G2 General] hyelton:
Please fully read his posts...

His phone works perfectly fine. He's just wanting to go back to stock, which he is having a problem with the computer detecting the phone.

There's nothing wrong with the phone.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Well under ports you should at least see some commication port that's a windows thing.

Running windows 8/8.1 by any chance? If so got a windows 7 machine you could try?
[G2 General] hacklockx:
Ooh sorry..

Actuall i made a quick read...and skip some parts and i thought he is getting screen with download mode with 5 dots.

So i suggested him

Sorryyyy.

Next time will read throughout.
[G2 General] seanp25:
I'll do some troubleshooting on why I don't see ports section listed in Device Manager. Seems strange alright. It's Windows 7 running on a laptop.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Give an update :). If you can try it on another PC if that is possible.
[G2 General] seanp25:
One other thing I've spotted, I can't seem to reboot into Bootloader using the option in the power menu in CM. The Reboot to Bootloader in TWRP doesn't work either, it just reboots the system in both cases.

Is Bootloader mode the same as Download mode? I might try to flash another bootloader if so?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Bootloader should have nothing to do with download mode.
[G2 General] littlejonny17:
Hi, I need some help. I bricked my phone after restoring a full backup from twrp 2.8.x (dont know how it happened). But this time it says "boot verification verify"... and nothing happens nexts. I can enter download mode so I tried to restore via tot method. It recognizes the phone, starts the process but it finishes it in 5 secs... How can I unbrick this thing? :(
[G2 General] hyelton:
Finishes in 5 seconds or fails in 5 seconds?

What's the error?

Did you change your com port to com41? Phone in download mode when trying?
[G2 General] littlejonny17:
It runs from 0 to 100 in 5 secs. It fails, of course. I changed the port, I am doing everything write.

Is it baceuse of that boot image error?
[G2 General] hyelton:
What's the error? It has a log below the percentage.. It can be 20 things, that log says why it fails. I'm maybe guessing wrong model fail?

So you changed com port under device manager correct?
[G2 General] littlejonny17:
Nope... I used this method 3 times and all went good. I'll grab a lob.
[G2 General] hyelton:
The most common is wrong model, due flashing ROMs that change the build prop to a different model number.
[G2 General] littlejonny17:
After failing, the pc "ejects" the phone and then recognizes it by the name of "QHSUBS_BULK".
[G2 General] hyelton:
Okay, but what does flashtool say in the log?
