[G2 General] Slayyer:
I tried both usb 2 and 3 but they didnt work. I am using a LG charger's usb and i have restarted my pc but got the same result. Is there a way to uninstall the Suite drivers and try your drivers?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Don't Use USB 3 it won't even work at all so no use in trying that out.

If you didn't even install the drivers from the Op then that could had been your problem. Just uninstall PC suite all together. As well as any lg drivers that are installed. It will show up under remove programs.
[G2 General] Swetnes:
Make sure that the fist time you plug in your phone AFTER installing the drivers put the phone in MTP mode. Let the phone install the drivers, which will take awhile. All of this BEFORE rebooting into download mode. If you haven't, repeat with a different usb port. Download mode requires MTP drivers, and they won't properly install from download mode.
[G2 General] Slayyer:
I installed the drivers from the OP but it still shows as LGE Android USB Serial Port
[G2 General] hyelton:
Is that under com ports? If so then now it should work.
[G2 General] Slayyer:
I tried again but it still says upgrade stopped due to an error. what could solve that problem?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Well you didn't really awnser my question. Is that one thing under com port?

Is the kdz in the same folder as the flashtool? And did you check the size of the kdz? Maybe it didn't download fully if you didn't use a download manager.
[G2 General] Slayyer:
yeah it is
[G2 General] hyelton:
Okay. Did you move the kdz into the same folder as flashtool?

Did you check the file size of the kdz?

Did you use a download manager to download the kdz?
[G2 General] Slayyer:
I moved it to the same folder, I checked it to be 1.7gb (I am using another kdz as mine isnt listed in the site on OP)

Yes I used a download manager to DL the kdz
[G2 General] hyelton:
Well does it work after moving it? Make sure your closing off the flash tool completely after each time.
[G2 General] Slayyer:
Still gets stuck after 2%
[G2 General] Soufiansky:
Okey , i will try soon. I'm really mad because i did every step carefully , reboot both phone and laptop , changed usb ports , downloaded twice the update.. every thing !
[G2 General] thejunkie:
After installing all drivers and everything, i cant find the LGE modem in devices, no idea why, i used this a long time ago, and it worked, but now it doesn't.. I was on cloudy then i moved to ressurection to test it out, and now i wanna try the official lollipop, so could it be rom related? checked debuging too, unknows sources, made sure the drivers mtp istall, was in download mode, drivers installed there too, but Modem simply won't show up.. If you have any thought what i could try, i'd apreciate it.. Sorry for my bad English :C
[G2 General] hyelton:
LGE Modem would be under the ports tab and no where else,

Your first problem, Are you sure your in download mode? You DON`T need to be checking debug mode and unknown sources to flash back to stock that has nothing to do with download mode, you dont have to do that.

Or do you see LG Serial Device under ports? That can work too.

Also make sure your using a USB 2.0 port and not a 3.0 port.
[G2 General] thejunkie:
1. of all yes, i unplug my phone, turn it off, hold volume up button, plug my phone, says download mode, then it goes to a scren with firmware update, do not unplug blablabla, then it starts installing LG ANDROID NET drivers, and after it's done , still no modem

2. i use usb 2.0

3. all i see after all this, bc i really did it before, and it worked, but now it simply doesnt, i go to menage, drivers, under ports com & ltp, all i have is LGE android net usb serial port (com4)

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

Update, to the last thing i wrote.. Might help slayer too

Me being an idiot, cleaning up, i once deleted the .tot file, but i had the zip, and bc it was the same settings, it keept the old .tot, as if it was there, but it actually was not, so it could never start it, bc there was never a .tot in it, after realising it, i unziped what was missing, and put the actual .tot inside s/w..

now to the Modem problem, there is actually no Modem for me, what there was, is LGE AndroidNet, which i changed it's port to 41, and it worked..

now it's flashing, and yeah, hope it works.. Thanks again for the help
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yeah the LGE android net has been showing up lately could just be the change of drivers. But as long as there's a com port there it should work.
[G2 General] Swetnes:
Something just occurred to me. Have you enabled USB debugging under developer options? I could be wrong but I seem to remember that adb requires it to execute commands on the phone.
[G2 General] Gamersab:
I recently bought lg g2 ls980 but I'm not getting option to update software in about phone or software information

[G2 General] Soufiansky:
Yes already did it , if it wasn't enabled i would't arrive to the last step.

Somethin weird is going on , in the last step , when i tap the command , instead of booting the phone show a small screen , like rebooting but then return to home screen..

Hey thanks for this tutorial, but I have a Lg d800 (AT&T) from a friend that he flashed by mistake a D802 model rom, so when I try to reflash the AT&T firmware got this error : device model is different (it says the phone is an d802 not an d800) and to check dll, I used the other dll provided LGUP 8974 and got another error, this one says: download fail IMEI: NULL PID: NULL crossdl d802 to d800 swversion: 00000064 Error: crossdl d802 to d800

Which kdz file need to download?

Hi Guys!

Can anybody tell me which KDZ file i need to download for G2 LS980? I remember the first was install in my phone ZVD and after that i have rooted my phone and install ROM Cloudy G3.

Thanks in advance for your all help :)
[G2 General] hyelton:
None, there's no kdz for the LS980. You use the tot method for that phone. Which is the 2nd part of the guide in the OP.
[G2 General] Bilgramiz:
Alright. Let me try. Thanks for saving my time :D
[G2 General] Gamersab:
I've unlocked ls 980 to make it work with other networks, after flashing .tot will my phone remain unlocked to use it with any network ?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Depends on how you "unlocked" it. Unlocking a normal phone for gsm yes it won't touch it. But if it was a software unlock for CDMA that was done then it may not be unlocked after flashing
[G2 General] Bilgramiz:
I downloaded DLL file but want to know which Stock image i need to download. There is showing 3 different Stock Images.

ZVC / ZVD and ZV8

http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/Sprint/
[G2 General] hyelton:
Which ever one you would want. I don't remember which one was the latest. I think that ZVD is the latest.
[G2 General] Bilgramiz:
Sorry It's ZVA showing there. I know ZVD is the latest but not showing there. Second issue is that you are saying for LS980 i have to follow TOT method but i have 32 GB LS980 and in attached image they guy is saying for 32 GB i have to use KDZ method. I am little bit confuse here. What to do now in this case?
[G2 General] LordLugard:
Let me try and help you out here.

The Sprint LS980 does not use KDZ files, it uses a TOT file. Most current version is actually ZVG (Lolipop 5.02) which is an OTA upgrade to ZVE (KitKat 4.4.2). You will be TOT'ing back to ZVE.

The TOT for ZVE can be found here, http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/LS980/Stock_Firmware

...download that file (~2.52GB), unzip it (unzips to about a ~3.65GB file with a .tot extension, LS980ZVE_03.51102.tot) and then follow the rest of the instructions in the beginning of this thread regarding the TOT method.

From step 1.1) Download the DLL file, (LGLS980_20130904_LGFLASHv151.dll) and just that alone. Forget about ZVC, ZVD, etc.

...and then follow the rest of the steps 1.2), 1.3), 1.4) e.t.c

Download the other required files, install them and proceed.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Uh no lol. That makes no since what so ever. Don't follow that guide. Follow the guide in the Op.. I have flashed almost 100,000 phones with that method so I'm sure it works :p

As I've said hundreds of times. USA models are 32Gb only. There's no 16GB USA carrier models with these phones.

Can I flash D802 lollilp kdz on it?
[G2 General] Gamersab:

imei.info

or LG CSMG tool

also LG PC Suite and LG modile support tool recognizes it D800

its IMEI starts from 0 mean US
[G2 General] LazyG:
Don't trust the IMEI, if you bought from unknown source. By IMEI my phone was D802, but main board clearly said it is D800. Opening phone and check back side of the motherboard will make sure you choose the right firmware

[G2 General] hyelton:
That would probably be cause you HAVE to be on Sorints network to do it.
[G2 General] Gamersab:
Sorints? You meant sprint I guess.

I surfed internet, people without sprint network have option to update and some people don't have.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yes. iPhone autocorrect lol.

What I am meaning is if you don't have it on Sprint service you cannot OTA. It's like that with Verizon,AT&T and so on in the USA. If your using it on a different network (GSM) then you'd need to use the tot method or a custom rom to get an update firmware.
[G2 General] Gamersab:
FML.... Lp tot isn't available yet I guess. The only reason I'm not flashing tot is that I'm not sure if my phone will remain unlock or not.

My case is a different one here. :(

My phone suddenly started to bootloop, while I was running antutu benchmark. I tried to flash the .Kdz firmware for my F320L but it reached 30%, and after that the phone reboots automatically and the 'LG' thing comes and goes for every 2 seconds. After this, I'm not able to enter download mode. It just shows 'Download Mode' and immediately reboots and the 'LG' this starts to flicker! :(

Before trying to flash the firmware, I used to see the battery status on the screen while it was charging when the phone is powered off. But, now, the phone doesn't charge, though.

Tried entering the factory reset mode, but, when I select 'YES' the phone reboots and the 'LG' thing just comes and goes every 2 seconds.

I really need advice. I don't know whether I can fix this or not. It's a new phone, indeed.

[G2 General] hyelton:
Yeah, but keep in mind tots are not as widely available as kdz files. Not everyone can use the tot method b
[G2 General] hyelton:
That's odd and certainly not good. Had you ever flashed anything that wasn't meant for your model or phone? Download mode is your only way to flash firmwares.

I still am using the .kdz method but it still gets stuck on 2% while installing the .kdz . Is there any fix or anything I might have done wrong for it to get stuck on 2%?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Did you make sure the kdz is in the same folder as flashtool? Did you make sure the phone shows up under device manager under the ports tab? Phone in download mode?
[G2 General] Slayyer:
Does that mean that an international D-802 has different .tot files for different regions/carriers? If so is there one that works globally/works the best?
[G2 General] hyelton:
If you have a D802 your best bet is to be using the kdz method.
[G2 General] Slayyer:
Yes to all questions you asked
[G2 General] hyelton:
Did you make sure the the kdz is fully downloaded? By using a download manager? What error are you getting at 2%
[G2 General] Gamersab:

Just whenever it comes out, there's no dates on this stuff. Tot files are no where near as available as kdz files. Which sprint doesn't use sadly.

No COM Ports available in Device Manager

This may have been covered but I am not searching through 500 pages of posts to find out.

Hope this helps someone figure out their no COM ports available in windows device manager.

You ultimately will need to perform Step 8 under the TOT method for this guide to work. But you can;t do step 8 if your PC shows no COM ports in Windows Device Manager.

TO add a COM port in device manager manually.

Open Device Manager>Select an item (like an entry under network adapters)>Then go to menu selection ACTION>ADD LEGACY HARDWARE>NEXT>INSTALL HARDWARE I MANUALLY SELECT FROM A LIST>scroll to PORTS>NEXT>Standard/Communications Port>NEXT>NEXT

This will install a generic COM port on your PC - You SHOULD now be able to reboot and put phone into download mode (hold volup and plugin USB from a poweroff condition).

Windows will now see your device and should install USB drivers (skip checking windows for updated drivers).

Now go back to Device Manager, find new LG USB entry ... under PORTS ( highlightit>select properties>advanced and change COM port to COM41 on this LG USB entry).

Voila...

Need to have COM41 on the LG USB entry in device manager - NOT on the Manual COM port you created - i changed it on both just to be sure and it gave me a conflict warning - i didnt care and said allow conflict).

Put you phone in DL mode (hold volup and connect USB) and allow time for USB drivers to install (should see notification...skip search windows for updated drivers).

NOW your phone is talking to your PC. GO through all other steps and you should be all set.
[G2 General] hyelton:
That sort of doesnt make since to me, Your adding a port that has nothing to do with LG.

When your phone is plugged in and drivers installed it will show a com port of LGEMODEM or LG serial port. Which is what's used to flash. Making a com port wouldn't do anything for flashing the phone.
[G2 General] goodguy2k2k:
Unfortunately, many people are not showing any PORTS in device manager. And LG phone is not launching a USB driver to create a PORT in device manager.

Manually adding a PORT seems to trigger the ability for LG device to install.trigger usb connection, install usb drivers to make this whole thing possible.

Worked for me anyway.

[G2 General] zhzhou:
Hey,

[MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION], it seems like a common problem is the KDZ method getting stuck at 2%. Using the TOT method can get past this problem. I've done it and I've also helped several other members get past 2% switching from KDZ to TOT. Perhaps you can make a note of this in your guide?
[G2 General] YOLOSWAGSPODERMAN:
Tried changing port to COM41. Doesn't work. :rolleyes:

Also about flashing TOT, I don't think there is any TOT for Indian D802 16gb? is there?
[G2 General] hyelton:
The TOT method is already in my guide in the OP. The kdz method is giving that error usually due to driver issues or windows 8 which is stated in the OP. The last several people I helped via teamviewer was either a simple driver problem and I fixed it or they loaded Windows 7 and it worked perfectly fine without an issue.

The one issue with the tot method is not as many firmwares are available as there is for the kdz method.

Yes the tot method is a lot easier, but I've never once had an issue with the kdz method (besides it's usual quirks) and I've flashed about 100 phones physically ( half and half of tot and kdz).

But I really think the majority of the issue is Windows 8 causing people problems.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Nope. That's why the kdz is mostly recommended due to more firmwares when it comes to the kdz method.

With the error your having have you tried another PC? Restarting PC? Disabling antivirus?

When you downloaded the kdz did you use a download manager? If not it could be a courpt download that can cause the 2% error as wel.
[G2 General] hyelton:
For anyone having the 2% issues. Here is a run down of common causes for you to check.

1. Windows 8/8.1 can cause problems or not work at all.

2. Download manager! I can't say this enough times, not using a download manager especially on an slower or unstable connection can cause larger files to become courpt or not download completely, and if the file is not complete it won't flash and give the 2% error as well.

3. Drivers, less common but it happens.
[G2 General] Soufiansky:
Because I already started the process... 20c was fine, forcing 20y was fine too, but forcing 30f ota doesn't work...
[G2 General] Slayyer:
Does that mean i have to use a Windows 7 Device or am i able to change the Flashtool to compatibility for Windows 8.1?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Compatibility mode idk that's always hit and miss. That doesn't make it physically run on windows 7 though. So I'd dout it. Worth a try it only takes a min.
[G2 General] Slayyer:
For some reason, The drivers for the phone arent being recognized by my laptop (which is windows 7) the drivers work in Windows 8.1 but they fail to be recognized in windows 7. Could you help me fix this?
[G2 General] hyelton:
What do you mean by fail. Did you look under the ports tab in device manager? While phone is in download mode?There are some drivers that won't install but there all not need
[G2 General] Slayyer:
I mean the drivers needed for example to copy things from your phone storage, that fails to install and the phone doesnt show up in my computer. The lge mtp device driver doesnt show up in the ports but thats because its not in download mode yet. From my understanding the drivers should work and show up properly (eg: seen in my computers, able to copy files from the storage, etc.) before going to download mode. Please correct me if i am wrong
[G2 General] hyelton:
That's is incorrect. Mtp is for transferring files like you said. That's NOT needed for download mode. If your wanting to flash a firmware as I said before place your phone into download mode and just look for modem or serial under the ports tab in device manager. If that shows up then your ready to flash..
