Sort of confused as to what your doing. If your having trouble with the kdz method then do the tot method. Not sure what you mean by editing a line of text on the tot method you don't edit anything.
[G2 General] cacciucco:
Do unbranded TOT files exist?
[G2 General] sagemda:
Pleaaase ..?
[G2 General] hyelton:
No.

Its always recommended to use what came with your phone. But if you want a Europe one try and flash any Europe D802 ROM remember your risking though
[G2 General] thiagofbrito:
Flashed D802 KitKat ROM using TWRP and got some bugs like no MOBILE NETWORK, BLUETOOH, etc. So I flashed Philz Touch Recovery but the problem is that I got security boot error since that. Tried to go back to stock (D80510A.kdz) using FlashTools but it always gets an error at 49%

Now I can boot into system (kitkat) but have no access to recovery. Just don't know what to do. Please help!

Update: managed to flash Philz Touch recovery image (not zip file) through Flashify then reflashed spiderio kat 1.1. All good now ???
[G2 General] mxmarcus:
Thank you so much for the instructions to get back to stock on LG G2 Sprint

I was on stock rooted and stock recovery but when I try to install the 4.4.2 update, I got stuck on fastboot
[G2 General] 616Rick:
Is there a custom recovery yet for the lg g2 LS 980 running 4.4.2 yet?
[G2 General] xlr8me:
hi guys I really need some help

I tried the method using kdz and it keeps saying please R&D test tools

ANy ideas?

I think I may have to take it back to shop

I can boot into download mode and I can get into recovery mode but screen keeps showing lg and nothing more
[G2 General] hyelton:
So you got it to flash and all you see is the LG logo or you can't get it to flash at all?
[G2 General] xlr8me:
Well

my isue started last night

I rooted phone using iroot and that all went well and then I installed a app which changes the lcd density to 320.

Then the phone was stuck in lg screen.

I downloaded the kdz files and did exactly as you say in your method but cannot find programdata for this step:

go to C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX

remove all files and folder

5. copy all files and folders from LGMOBILEAX that you unzip from step2 to C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX

This is not visible on my win xp system

Do I need to try on windows 7?

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------

Ok fixed it phhhhheeeeeeeeeeew

I will post the fix shortly but in Windows XP and possibly other windows operating systems the location is:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\LGMOBILEAX

You must delete the files in there and reinsert the one from the zip.

OP please update this on your first page.

Everything now is back to normal :)

Woooot
[G2 General] hyelton:
That's only for Winxp its different for the rest
[G2 General] xlr8me:
Well please make sure your OP is updated to include this as not everyone is running the latest OS.

Thnx for all your hard work and effort you saved me from returning it to shop :)

Best Regards,

Trying to downgrade on AT&T

Getting to the final step (Power off, get back into download mode) and nothing is happening. Just stays stuck on READY and never recognizes the device!

I've tried keeping plugged in and getting back into download, unplugging+replugging method, and neither is getting recognized. Any ideas??
[G2 General] hyelton:
Are you changing the com port?
[G2 General] jbags1991:
Flash Tool

I followed the steps and, when I click the yellow arrow, all the ports say "Ready" and nothing happens. I think they're supposed to say disabled except for COM41. What am I doing wrong?

--Update: silly me...turned off and put back into download mode. All is well.
[G2 General] ProXyStaLLioN:
will some one remote session me on this and walk me through the flash tool.... i can donate

I have no idea how to fix this but all my phone will do is boot into recovery, ive tried sideloading, re flashing... cant get it to do anything??

Has anyone in UK loaded the German Vodafone TOT file using method 2? Does it work fine? Does it have LTE/4G?

Thanks,

[G2 General] chevycam94:
Well, I can no longer use ANY of these methods to get my VS980 back to stock. KDZ methods dont work anymore, and the TOT method never worked for me to begin with. I followed EVERY step, word for word, and LG Flash Tool wants updated, my R&D Test Tool is always out of date, or the vbs script just fails. This worked perfectly 3 months ago, so I dont know why it wont now. Am I somehow missing some update files Im not aware of here?
[G2 General] xlr8me:
I don't think the instructions are well written to be honest. Lucky me I have had experience in the past with HD2 flashing and goophone flashing and what else. It seems that LG has made it more difficult than before to flash stock firmware obviously to protect the reputation and warranty on their devices.

I got mine to work after persevering and trying to work it out (yes thinking deeply) but the post on the first page is just appallingly written and probably way too difficult for noobs and beginners. (mind you this is where I was about 24 hrs ago as I haven't done flashing for a year or so)

I will write a thorough and easy to understand post shortly that rectifies the cut and paste shown in the first post.

As for you chevycam, keep trying.

Remember to go into download mode (hold vol + down and insert usb cable) and you will see updating firmware screen on phone.

Then start the script make sure its on turn those three items click the bottom update as per instructions and then it will open new window and start upgrade.

Then and most importantly the lgmobileax folder has to be found in your windows system. It could be at programdata as per OP but I found mine in the application folders deep within windows(see my previous post). I deleted what was in there and placed the files from the unzip folder of lgmobileax back in there. Then it worked(was prior saying please update R&D tools) and moved to the final screen and followed the prompts and it all worked took about 8min or so to do the update. Then I booted up and noticed phone was also unrooted so very nice :) (I now have rooted it again) :)

Hope this helps for now but will write something more thorough in the next few days when I have had my fun playing with my new toy.

Reinstalling drivers worked.

Didn't fix my problem. Screen will randomly lockup and reboot still. Anyone know why this is?

Trying to figure it out but hard to do on this phone as it shuts down every 5m

Is anyone else having trouble downloading the vs980 kdz files off storagecow? My downloads for 11a and 12b always stop around 500mb.
[G2 General] commzod:
I get a "USB device has malfuctioned" pop up whenever i try to connect to any computer now. Anyone have any idea how to go back to stock without usb recognizing the device? All drivers are up to date, phone charges fine, tried on multiple computers even one that has never had a phone hooked up to it.

Is there anyway to just reflash original recovery and stock unrooted rom?

I need to get it warrantied for this USB problem, but don't want to get charged for phone because of voiding warranty.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Make sure you use a download manager if that happens
[G2 General] wezzywebb:
Right guys ,could somebody please help a novice here,i cannot get the second stage of flashing to work i.e. open the window to ask what country and language ,i,m sure that its down to deleting the lgmobile files and replacing ,but if i delete the original files ,folder, theres no folder to put the new one ,could anyone help me please!!!!???
[G2 General] MRobbo80:
OK have you edit your host file? If not select search type note pad right click, run as administrator and add the up from the tutorial. Then run automatic offline procedure, on your desktop bottom right hand corner icon "select windows enabler, then back into the folder there's one called shot pa select it and with in the folder right click on http this will pop a small window, now finally run uptestlx_mod2.

Confuse

Hey guys im just a little bit confuse here...

I have the international LG G2 D802T i'm trying to figure out what KDZ i need to download in order to get Kitkat. I have a 32GB if anyone can point me in the right direction to download the update

Thanks :)
[G2 General] xlr8me:
In your web browser's address field, type the following address: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

where XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX should be replaced with your IMEI number

Then a page will pop up with a link in it. Copy and paste the link in your browser and download the kdz from the official lg website. If the file has 10a in it is 4.2.2 (Jelly bean) and if it has 20B then it is kit kat.

Enjoy :)
[G2 General] Smarty Pants:
Thanks but that didnt work.

I've downloaded one from this link http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50696515&postcount=1 but the end of it is a 20A and could you confirm for me if this is the international KDZ with no carrier logo?

thanks :)
[G2 General] hyelton:
The firmwares at that link are also in the link in the OP lol. Just download the one for your county. 20A means KitKat

Keep getting "wrong DLL file" error while doing TOT method. Other method doesnt work for me either.

I guess I'm SOL

Update, you used the OTHER .dll file you are told to download!

LGD801_20130811_LGFLASHv160.dll
[G2 General] chevycam94:
VS980, trying the TOT method this time, but no luck. LGFlashTool wont stop complaining about the wrong dll. I used the one in the guide, but its not working. Are there different versions of it for each model, or why is it not working.

---------- Post added at 02:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 AM ----------

At least I know Im not the only one. Ive been trying for 2 days to get this done. Looks like Im stuck where Im at. Just CANT screw anything up, as there is NO way to recover it at this point.

---------- Post added at 03:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 AM ----------

I finally got the TOT method to work with the VS980. I had to search other websites for a dll file that would work with the 1.8.x LGFlashTool. I will make a guide tomorrow.

KDZ file

I have a bit of a problem. I've got a D802 G2 which I bought in Slovenia and I don't know which KDZ file to download. The LG Mobile Support Tool detects the version as D80210E and there are quite a few of those in the storagecow. Need some help with choosing the right one. Thanks
[G2 General] demoncamber:
Curious as to why there is no 4.4.2 TOT method?

---------- Post added at 04:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 AM ----------

Use the LGD801_20130811_LGFLASHv160.dll file, I figured it out.
[G2 General] chevycam94:
Close. I didnt use that one, but I DID find this one while digging around on other sites. Maybe this one and the one you used both do the same thing, I dont know. But at least it worked. Here is the file in case anyone is looking for it.

[G2 General] hyelton:
No you need to follow the OP to do so by installing all of the programs and running the vbs script
[G2 General] mood_coolman:

[G2 General] hyelton:
There's a button combination... YouTube how to factory reset LG g2. I'll be putting a link in the description soon
[G2 General] mood_coolman:
i flashed those files using the lg flash tool, as it's shown here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51897653 and i fallow the instructions
[G2 General] Fauert:
Have you tried go in recovery via bottum combo ?
[G2 General] hyelton:
What they need to do is perform a factory reset to fix the bootloop as I stated, A simple google would show how-to

At the same time, press and hold the following keys for 8 seconds:

Power key

Volume down key

When the LG Logo is displayed, release and then immediately re-hold the Power key.

When the 'FACTORY HARD RESET' screen displays, release the keys.

Press the Power key to reset or one of the Volume keys to cancel.

Press the Power key to confirm the reset. The reset will start immediately.
[G2 General] mood_coolman:
oh i remembered how it's done;by holding the power button and volume down at the same time...i just remember it now thanks...

[G2 General] hyelton:
Are you kidding me? All the work put into this offline method was a lot from me and other members here! Its the ONLY method. Its not our fault. Blame LG there the reason why we have to have an offline method. Just remember they didn't have to have a way to go back to stock to begin with

I can confirm that the second KDZ method works just fine. Just did it on Windows 8.1. You just have to run everything as administrator to avoid having permission issues.

Flashed D80220B-EUR over D80220A-HKG 32GB. Everything seems fine, LTE option is present.

Hint: Disable any antivirus/firewall during the whole process!
[G2 General] Pigbenis12:
It's probably explained and I missed it somewhere, but, how do I know which firmware is 32gb? Don't wanna brick this phone already...

EDIT:

I'm using this file: LS980ZV7_01

Safe to assume it's 32gb since it doesn't have anything about it being 16gb in the file name?
[G2 General] hyelton:
What's your model? If USA all models are 32GB so there's not gonna be any 16Gb firmwares for Any USA models.

Also if it says its 16GB. If it doesn't say anything the firmware is assumed to he 32GB

Iv never flashed one rom on this yet. If i download this stock LG G2 T MOBILE build and put it onto my phone. Will it remove the chinese super user/root off of it?

I can enter downloade mode so that is no problem.

photos attached, first is when plugged in. then when I unplug the phone the second screen shows.
[G2 General] varunkumars:
Press Volume Up then insert the data cable then it should go to download mode. If your computer still doesn't detect it then it is a driver issue make sure to install LG drivers.

[G2 General] hyelton:
Then don't worry about the sizes. Sprint only came out with 1. The file sizes only apply to the kdz method and international phones.
[G2 General] hyelton:
That's because if you read the OP the guide I used to have up LG changed the method of flashing so we had to come up with a new guide. Since your on T-Mobile USA correct? Just use the TOT guide it never changed.

Flashing difficulty

I am in the process of trying to recover my phone. I am running Rooted official 4.4.2 that was installed OTA. Last night while attempting to install custom recovery with AutoRec, i have aquired a white screen issue after my screen shuts off and i turn it back on (Sprint LS980). I been trying to restore back to stock, but I believe I have a driver or port issue. I have tried installation on 3 PCs now, each running Windows 7. I goto device manager and advanced menu to change port to 41. When plugging in the phone and trying to flash, the LG Flash utility shows no indication of the phone being connected, and the Download Mode shows no progress. I apologize for any confusion, just a bit overwhelmed since this seems like it should be simple Any help is greatly appreciated
