Anyone have MD5's for the Verizon .kdz and .tot files?

I think the only way too check right now, is to compare the size of files ::

Kdz : 2063990 kb. from Mod Edit: Link Removed. Please find a more reputable (fewer ads) site to host your files for sharing on XDA

Does anyone have the 32GB original FW for the Europe Open-version?

The one I get from LG are the 16GB version.

LG D802.

I have contacted LG about it since when I use the official LG Support Tool to restore my phone, I get 16GB FW instead of the 32GB, wich makes me loose 16GB of storage. Annoying! :p

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------

No, the 16GB and the 32GB are not the same.

You can flash the 16GB version, but you will loose the 16GB extra storage.

---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

I'm not 100% sure yet, but I believe one of them are 16GB, and one are 32GB.

I think this because I know the EUROPE OPEN is 16GB (I saw a few uploaded as 16GB atleast),

and that's the one I restored to. I lost 16GB on it.

I'm currently having a conversation with a technician from LG trying to fix this though.

I'm going to try to restore to both Germany open and UK open to see if I get my 32GB back.

any way for this to work on WINDOWS 8?

[G2 General] digitard:
Yeah.

I was thinking corrupt, too, but it's 3x now that it's done it.

Anyone have a local mirror of the TOT, or can upload the zipped file to another location for me to try to grab?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Storagecow is a local mirror of this file..... That's my server and there is nothing wrong with the file. Try it again. Last night I moved to a new server so that could had been an issue with you getting it to download. But as of right now everything is working fine..

6) In R&D Test Tool window,

Select Type = 3GQCT (top left hand side)

PhoneMode = DIAG (top right hand side)

Select kdz file = click to select your LG stock rom *.kdz

Click "Normal web upgrade test" (bottom right hand side)

Then another window will pop up, click "Upgrade Start" button

wait a few seconds, another window "Select Country & Language" pop up,

=> Country=Republic of Korea

=> Language=English (now connect the phone download mode) and

you can click ok to proceed.

this work for me.

is not clear to me how you use flash tool but i just after several attempts and various dowloads did not find either a flash btool containing my device (D802 10F). how to do it?

So You Sprint Users... What was the software you was needing...? Was it ZV8? I`m uploading ZV8 now if anyone needed it :D
[G2 General] shoeprano27:
i have an lg g2 tmobile version. i got the phone with 4.4.2 kitkat installed. i tried downgrading it back with both of thetmobile g2 files in the link (T-Mobile USA D80110G_00, T-Mobile USA D80110C_00) and they both bootlooped. So i just went back and installed 4.4.2 kitkat back on it. any way i can steer from those bootloops? i need root in my life!
[G2 General] jcnbama:
Were the boot loops caused by not doing a factory reset after flash perhaps? :confused:
[G2 General] shoeprano27:
well, flashed it following the directions for tmobile in the 1st post of this thread. the phone would restart and get to the tmoible 4g lte screen, then it just loops from there from that tmo screen.
[G2 General] jcnbama:
So, just to confirm, after you did the full flash and it started to boot you did a factory reset using the volume and power button combinations, right? I'm just asking because that's exactly what it does if you don't do a factory reset. It just boot loops..
[G2 General] megapoff:
Try disabling your proxy/firewall if applicable.

Heya, Led.

I get this error at work, when I'm behind the work proxy. Have you tried to disable it and re-run the program? That's the only thing that I can of. When I run the program at home I have no issues. I hope this helps!
[G2 General] ledvedder:
Exactly! I was able to open it last night at home. Stupid work proxy! :mad:
[G2 General] eckza:
I'm on Verizon, 32 GB LG G2. I've followed the instructions to the letter and the flash program says that it's completed successfully, but the phone sits in Download Mode without any indicator of connectivity or progress, and when I boot it back up nothing's changed - TWRP still installed, I'm still rooted, etc.

The .TOT method does not work for me. It worked the first time I tried it, on my old LG G2 (that had to be replaced due to the headphone jack issue), but now it's not working on this phone and I don't know why.

If it makes any difference, I'm on 12B.

Any ideas?

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

I fixed it! I went back into TWRP, restored to my backup of the stock ROM (I was on Mahdi), and it WORKED!

Just thought I'd post this in case anyone else comes across the same problem... strange as it is, flashing back to the stock ROM allowed me to successfully get the phone back to stock!
[G2 General] shoeprano27:
i tried to downgrade again with one of the files i mentioned for tmobile, and it does nothing. i held on to power and volume down button. it just shuts it off. i turn it back on and its still bootlooping.
[G2 General] jcnbama:
I had trouble getting into the menu for the factory reset. It was kinda tricky.. It's not just holding down power and volume. There's a trick to it... https://t-mobile.jive-mobile.com/#jive-document?content=/api/core/v2/documents/7590

See the section about hardware reset. It's the "release" that's important. It honestly sounds to me like it is working. Don't give up just yet. :sly:
[G2 General] shoeprano27:
alright bro. im about to cry. and bang my head on the walls. lol

[G2 General] mistermidas:
ZVA is the current software, but ZV8 is still better than ZV7 lol.
[G2 General] jcnbama:
Here is what it says. Take heart. It took me several tries to get it to work....

Master reset with hardware keys

A master reset restores the original factory settings and may delete your personal data on the internal storage, such as downloaded content, ringtones, images, apps, and contacts. It does not delete data stored on the SIM card or SD card.

*

If the device menus are frozen or unresponsive, you can master reset using hardware keys. To perform a master reset, follow these steps:

*

Back up all data on the internal memory.Power off the device and ensure it is not connected to any USB cables.At the same time, press and hold the following keys for 8 seconds:Power*keyVolume down*keyWhen 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.

Still unable to get the Flash Tool To work

After week of trying all methods I'm still stuck! The phone is the Sprint LS980 with D803 software running on it. It continously reboots as a result. When using the download Sprint .dll and tot files Flash toosl errors out stating device model is different. LG mobile support tool does not work either. I can only get into download mode and perform a hard factory reset I don't know of any other options to FORCE stock Sprint software onto the phone. Is there a way to use the Flash Tool without it checking to see the current software on the phone ???

Hey guys, i need help, stuck in bootloop.

what i did:

was on rooted 4.2.2 stock with twrp, made a full backup

flashed 4.4.2

recognized there's no root for it

wanted to go back to 4.2.2

no root = no custom recovery (is this right?, if i had twrp i could easily restore the backup)

flashed 4.2.2 -> then got bootloop

all i need to have is TWRP. can anyone help??? please im crying.. :(

[G2 General] jimbobaggies:
I flash the kdz for the germany vodafone kit kat and have decided to go back to stock. Now after flashing the kdz for my device it sits at the LG logo and keeps reloading and playing the sound, so assuming boot loop. In the first page and other replies I see people saying you have to do a reset. How do you do this?

On the first post it states "8) Be Sure that after flashing to perform a reset as for some reason flashing this does not remove what was there before until you reset. By turning off, Holding down power and Vol Down until it comes up on the screen."

If I power off the device then hold down power and vol down the LG logo comes on the screen then the screen goes blank, it continuously does this until I release the buttons then goes back to boot loop.

Back up all data on the internal memory.

Power off the device and ensure it is not connected to any USB cables.

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] GizmoKaca:
I am confused... Which guide should I follow to go from stock 4.4.2 on D802 and back to 4.2.2?
[G2 General] LenAsh:
This one (the OP)
[G2 General] GizmoKaca:
Right... The reason for the confusion is that the AT&T guide mentions that it is used also for going back from KitKat on d802. So that is the one? The link for the TOT there seems to be wrong...?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Depends. You use the ATT guide for TOT files. For kdz files you use the international guide.
[G2 General] hyelton:
There's plenty of links in the OP lol
[G2 General] GizmoKaca:
So both the KDZ method and the TOT (AT&T) method will work for downgrading from official KitKat 4.4.2 on D802 devices without any errors?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yes. But you use the kdz files with the normal guide and you use the tot files with the att guide.
[G2 General] GizmoKaca:
Okay, thanks for clearing that up! :)

Going back to stock but stuck

Thanks any other thoughts or ideas I going on two weeks know with no luck in reverting back to the Sprint Stock LS980. THe phone is the Sprint Model but has the Bell D803 installed. Using the Flash method I can device model is different error. Use the .dll from the AT&T Dev section I now get the cross Dl 803 to LS 980 I even tried using the At&t Tot files and same error !! Any help is greatly appreciated !!!

hello i need ur help please

hi hopefully u can help me i have a lg g2 ls980 that was bricked i bought it like that obviously super cheap... i didnt know it was a ls980 because the guy that sold it to me said it was from tmobile so i thought it was the d801 so i flashed the stock firmware from the lg g2 d801 and it turns on but none of the settings work and after a certain time turn off so i started to check it out and dumbass me didnt check the model number on the back that says ls980 so its useless.

i already tried to flash the ls980 stock firmware with the flash tool and when the flasher its ready to plug my phone and starts the proccess it says failed that its a different model and i also tried to flash different firmwares from other variants but none of that worked

my question is what can i do to brick the phone so it will stop thinking is a d801 and reflash the correct firmware???
[G2 General] swells14:
Looks like you and I have the same problem- I've been trying for two weeks with no luck in getting my phone back to stock. I suspect you are getting the device model is different error correct ????
[G2 General] aviduser:
I have the same problem boys.

got everything working from the OP no problem with that.

Each time I flash I get the software mismatch error. Even with the generic .dll file.

I flashed the wrong software, that was my mistake the phone was running a custom rom and was reporting as 802 in the buildprop. Stupidly rather than do further research I flashed an 802 rom onto the phone presuming that as it was running an 802 rom it must be fine.

Wrong, now it boots stays on for one minute and reboots.

Have tried the generic .dll, and used the flashtool in board DL mode.

At a guess there are dozens of people in the same position as I read threads and posts like this all the time.

I will gladly pay 100 Dollars VIA paypal to the first person to fix up a .dll file or bypass the software check or has the solution to my problem. I would rather pay a DEV here that send my money to LG or some other repair center.

Perhaps if we all chipped in a little each we would tempt a DEV to spend some hours trying to bypass our issue and make a lot of people happy.

I don't want to buy a new phone but there is only so long I can use my galaxy nexus before it becomes painful.

If I can't get this to work I won't buy another LG phone, Samsung for all their touch wiz crap has ODIN which has never given me these issues.

I will buy a Sony Xperia Z1 compact, they are DEV friendly.

Hello everyone,

After having CM11 installed for several days I decided to go back to stock.

I followed the instrauctions in the OP (did this couple of times in the past with no issues), but now I ran into trouble.

When I press uptestex.exe it asks me for LG login info. As soon as I quit that and run it again I get "uptestex.exe mfc has stopped working".

I tried unistalling everything and reinstalling, compatibility mode, restarts...anything I could think.

I even tried another computer, same results. I am running Windows 8.1 but I had been able to revert to stock about a month ago and another time 2 weeks ago on the same machine with no problem at all.
