After a few hours of failing, I read in an other thread that you have to copy the .kdz file into the LG Flash Tool 2014 folder. I don't see this in your op. It may be helpful to others if it were.
[G2 General] hyelton:
You don't have to do that. I've never done that on all the LG phones I've flashed. So is it confirmed working while not working when not doing it?
[G2 General] 0331:
It wasn't working until I copied the .kdz to the Flash Tool 2014 folder. On windows 7.

I rooted my Lg G2 (tmobile - USA) then used the playstore app "Flashify" to install TWRP. I installed the TWRP version 2.8 directly from the app ( i probably installed the wrong version right?). After rebooting, my device stayed stuck in the LG logo coming on and off every few seconds. I think i finally shut it off. If i am unable to place the phone in download mode, can i still use this method?

I have tried restarting/ factory reset with no luck. The LG logo just comes on and off every 5 or so seconds,

I have been trying to download the .kdz file for tmobile for the past several hours. First it said 20 minutes left, now its 2 hours left to download. Please help!
[G2 General] netghozt:
I cannot enter download mode. Please help! It is stuck with the LG logo
[G2 General] rootlinux:
Did you turn the device off, unplug it then hold volume up and then plug in USB?
[G2 General] Arihiza:
Anyone know what firmware I need to download for mine? I am in New Zealand. It is a LG-V500, 16GB.

Thanks
[G2 General] netghozt:
Yes, i turned it off. From off position, i held down the up volume, but as soon as i plug the usb cable in, the LG logo comes on, then i shows the device charging. Its also possible that it is not fully off. Any other ideas? To turn it off, i press the power button for about 10 seconds, then screen goes dark...

Secure booting error

Still trying to figure this out. Any help is appreciated. I still cannot get into download mode to start the process. When i try to hard reset i get "Secure booting error; Cause boot certification verify" I have search the forums and they always refer back to this thread. One thing i don't get in the instruction is the "TOT file". Which of the files is this? Thanks. I hope i can still salvage the phone.
[G2 General] figo_2003:
Can you confirm please :confused:
[G2 General] netghozt:
Can someone tell me what the TOT file is? The instruction says install the TOT file from the zip file. The only zip file i say is the LG flash tool 2014. Thanks
[G2 General] hyelton:
No where in the guide it says to "install" the tot file . What phone model are your flashing? Carrier? As mentchend in the OP use the tot method if you have T-Mobile D801, Verizon, AT&T D800 and a few others. If you have a D802 etc use the KDZ method. There's plenty of TOT files in the OP same goes with the KDZ as well.
[G2 General] netghozt:
Thanks. Well, it says extract the tot file. I have the T-Mobile lg. So what does tot stand for?
[G2 General] hyelton:
You don't extract the tot. You extract the zip file that has the tot in it, then you put the tot into the flaahtool and flash your phone.
[G2 General] netghozt:
So is the tot the kdz file?
[G2 General] hyelton:
No. A tot file is a tot file.
[G2 General] netghozt:
Cannot get into download mode.

I rooted my Lg G2 (tmobile - USA) then used the playstore app "Flashify" to install TWRP. I installed the TWRP version 2.8 directly from the app. After rebooting, my device stayed stuck in the LG logo coming on and off every few seconds. I finally shut it off.

I tried a factory reset and got this error: Error 62760 (boot certification verify; secure boot error.

I also cannot get into download mode to fix this.

Please help.
[G2 General] tholudee:
this new flash tool makes a world of difference , thanks so much
[G2 General] ledvedder:
Is there anywhere else to download the kdz file? StorageCow is so slow. 10 hours to download?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Storagecow is no where near slow lol. If your read the OP all files are hosted by me and are on a dedicated server and 2gb connection port. Remember these are large files and can take time on some connections. Also make sure your using a download manager.

Just took this screenshot. Whole file in under a min
[G2 General] bigwavedave25:
hyelton - thank you for the write up.

I am attempting to use this method to revert back to stock. I have downloaded all the files, ran the exe for the Verizon drivers [verified connection with device on; < adb devices > found my phone, no problem]. After going into DL mode and connecting to my PC, I am stuck at running the LGFlashTool... after selecting the KDZ file and "CSE Flash", from the second screen I hit START and nothing happens. I do not get the 3rd screen that asks for language as shown in your screenshots. Nothing happens on the phone or my pc at that point.

I tried different USB ports and clicking both Normal Flash and CSE Flash, same result nothing happens. Does the LGTool attempt to access the internet at this step... (would a psychotic corporate firewall halt further progression)? Any suggestions would be appreciated!! Thanks!
[G2 General] Eminemiero:
Hi, i dont know wich kdz file i need, my version is D802 but i dont know if is the one from Hong Kong, india or other.

How can I know?

At the back of my phone it says: "D802 - Made in Korea" But Korea's LG G2 are the F320..
[G2 General] hyelton:
Just make sure your flashing the right model and the right size like if its a 16GB or 32GB.

The country shouldnt matter much.

Also "Made in Korea" means the phone was manufactured in Korea.
[G2 General] alsiladka:
When I connect my bricked D802T to Windows, it only detects the Android Bootloader Interface device, does not detect the COM Port device, may be that is why my flashing is failing. Can anybody figure out why the COM Port device isn't being detected?
[G2 General] hyelton:
A bricked phone would not longer work. Bricked means there's no brining it back. I think you mean soft-bricked.

Also you have to be in download mode to flash.
[G2 General] alsiladka:
Unfortunately, I am new to the Android flashing and modding world. I have a D802T, which I put on upgrade via LG Pc Suite over night from D80220B to D80220C. In the morning, I found that it was stuck at the LG Logo. Wouldn't start or go beyond that. Can't open recovery either.

I can connect to the PC in download mode, but Windows only detects one device, the Bootloader Interface. Can't connect via Flash Tool.

Also, the FastBoot display on the phone keeps saying usb_read() transaction failed, EP1/out FAIL nfo=40 pg0=f908700 and —portchange--

Is there anything at all I can do to revive the phone?
[G2 General] Eminemiero:
Ohh, thanks!

Last question,

this should work with my D802 right?

ITA/ITALY	V20G	LGD802
[G2 General] bigwavedave25:
please help

I did not have the KDZ file in the same folder as the LGFlashTool. Once I moved it over, the tool will now run. However I am stuck at connecting to my phone, I assume? As previously mentioned an adb device search finds my phone, so drivers are proper... Help?
[G2 General] hyelton:
You sure your phone is in download mode?
[G2 General] bigwavedave25:
Thanks for the reply. Yes i was definitely in download mode. I tried again, this time leaving the country on the 3rd screen as Korea and language as English and now the program is processing on my phone. Sorry, having "do not change" instructional issues today... :o

Process complete in under 4:30. I am now back to stock with my device showing as UNROOTED in both settings and on the stock recovery screen. Thanks for the thread and links to the tool! I can now send my device in for a warranty claim. :good:
[G2 General] hyelton:
Glad you got it :) When going back to stock I have to say Sony and Samsung have it down, but LG its annoying lol.
[G2 General] rootlinux:
If using the tot you also need the dll that goes with it.

Your device will not boot at all past LG logo? This happened after flashing twrp via flashify?
[G2 General] rhilway:
so flashify does not know if your a boot supports twrp and could Bork your phone. I heard that in order to use twrp you need to have a downgraded aboot as without it things get really messed up. I know very technical, but I think searching will bring up the thread

[G2 General] netghozt:
Thanks for responding. Yes it will will not boot past the LG logo. After flashing twrp 2.8 via flashily, nothing seemed to happen (i did this twice). I then reboot the device and ever since, the phone refused to boot up. I used the twrp downloaded by the "flashily" app. Looking back, it might not have been compatible.

Also, i cannot even get into download mode to attempt the method here. Instead, i keep getting the LG logo with each attempt.
[G2 General] rootlinux:
Found this in a search.

Try to adb into your device.

Use this to get past LG logo and get back in. If you can boot into twrp you can probably type this into twrp terminal.

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

then hit enter

type

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc

then hit enter and reboot.

A clarification, when connected in Download Mode, how many devices / drivers should be installed by Windows, and how many entries should I verify in the Device Manager? Only the Bootloader Interface, or the COM Port device should be there too?

After pressing the arrow, disconnect phone and press and hold power for 15 seconds to power off. Then go back into download mode. Tot should start to flash at that time.

Power OFF the phone. Remove the SIM card completely for at least 1 minute.

Re-insert the SIM card, Power ON.

it just helped me , and its helped a lot of others.

Hi so I have a T-Mobile LG G2 (D801) which has stock KitKat rom and rooted with custom TWRP recovery, I also installed autorec to fix download mode. I was trying to revert back to Jellybean 4.2 and I bricked my device. I followed this thread and used the kdz method. I held volume up button, plugged in the device, got download mode, tried flashing the file and got some kind of error, it was in korean so I couldn't read it. As it was flashing it went up to 6% on the device but thats when the Flashtool gave me an error. I tried to exit download mode by holding down the power button till the LG logo appeared. I did that and when it appeared I unplugged the device. However now the device won't shut off and is stuck at the LG logo screen. So I dissasembled the phone and unplugged the battery cable from the motherboard and it shut off. I then plugged it back in and tried to enter download mode, but nothing happens, it's stuck at the LG logo. If I hold it for 10 sec the screen turns black and LG logo appears again. I also tried holding it down and when screen turns black I hold down power+vol down (to get into recovery), screen turned on with LG logo and I removed both buttons and then held power button for 2 sec and that worked. And I tried to do a factory reset, but it basically freezes at that screen. It is stuck on “factory reset processing” for 20min now. Also I'd like to clarify that this is the stock recovery not the TWRP that I had installed. I tried double the power buttons 3 times in stock recovery to enter TWRP but nothing happens, it just says "factory reset processing".

I'm not sure what I should do now, is there a way that I can flash something via adb and load a custom recovery or rom? Or go back to stock rom?

Please help.

Why not get them from LG directly?

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI

replace IMEI with your IMEI

or you can use my simple form located here - http://kitchen.cyanlabs.co.uk/lgdownload.php
[G2 General] hyelton:
Well there are a few Reasons.. lol

1.When doing it directly through LG using an IMEI a LOT of people here are NOT flashing what came with there phones(to take away bloat or have more language options) so that marks that out.

2. Can`t Do that with AT&T,Verizon, or T-Mobile in the USA

3. Sometimes LG Servers are Very unreliable. During High Peak times I get under 1mbps download speeds with LG Servers on a Gigabit connection, While My server 99% of the time is pushing out gigabit speeds.

And This was my FIRST downtime in 3 months and in which the downtime is no longer. I don`t host them all just mostly the popular ones or if one is requested.

But that link is good especially if someone has a model thats hard to find the kdz for though.
[G2 General] fma965:
don't really appreciate your obnoxious attitude but ok.

1. Any way i found this thread when recovering my phone to the SAME FIRMWARE i don't know what others are doing do i.

2. i live in the UK so again i don't know that

3. Ok and another thing, do you want mirrors? i have a VPS in netherlands which currently hosts loads of Xperia Play ROM's
[G2 General] hyelton:
You read my post before I edited it :D go look back at it :).

1. Yea a lot of people are using it for other languages, etc. Like When I had my AT&T USA model I flashed an European Firmware on it (AT&T has the WORST of all lol) Funky Data Icons, Tether blocking)

3. Up to you lol. How Much Bandwidth do you have available? I share a Dedi Server with someone.(Which is also located in the Netherlands :laugh:) Within this month so far I`ve already had 6TB of BW usage lol. I do have about 240GB worth of data too.
[G2 General] fma965:
Aw the fun of reading posts before they are edited xD

1. Yeah im new to G2 just trying to help like i did in xperia play section.

3. I have 3TB Bandwidth i would also not be hosting everything you have :) but just the LG G2 Stock files.

I can WGET them straight from your server if you allow me to.
