Didn't need to see the settings. Just needed to see that it was there. That's the thing you need to be able to flash. As for that error then ,

The kdz that your wanting to flash is it in the same folder as flashtool? Also try running flashtool as administrator.

Also freshly reboot your phone into download mode.
[G2 General] thenarratorr:
That's correct, it's in the same folder as the flash tool. I'll try rebooting back into download mode and running it as admin.

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ----------

Tried running as admin and still got an error after it says "extracting software files"

Phone is in download mode, says the usual firmware update, not sure if this matters but it does say VUSER_G2 B100.

will there be a fix for the 49% issue for european/german firmwares?
[G2 General] ozzjim:
Hi can someone help me out please. I have a D802 32gb but fairly sure it has a Hong/ South Korean based ROM on it that does not give all the network options so 4g disappears following a reboot, and in network mode selection is not available.

Which is the best stock rom on here to go for? I keep reading about them all and some are not loading on properly, and some only work for the 16gb and then there are the custom ones on the D802 page. Which ROM is stable, will work with the 32gb and still have the features like knock on etc working well? I have done a lot of reading and am in a bit of a spin with it all to be honest over which to go for. Advice much appreciated!

Cheers Wars. I tried Win XP 32bit but did not resolve. Luckily, I then applied a Factory Reset via the different button combinations on startup of my D802. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2448775 Luckily it took me back to TWRP and I could then restore my backup.

Can anyone confirm that these files are working on a Sprint LS980ZV7? I've got FlashTool running, selected the dll and .tot, reconencted the USB, and get a Download FAIL

Check Phone or DLL!

[G2 General] hyelton:
What did you have on your phone before? Was it a rom or cm? Then that's why. You will need to change your build.prob in the rom to make it think it's a LS980 again
[G2 General] Jawbox:
It had the stock rom, but my build.prop got corrupted, which started this whole mess. I can't get it to edit it, my only options are download mode, and a recovery mode where I can send 'adb sideload' however it seems to fail when I send anything. I can't adb pull/push/shell etc otherwise it's just a boot loop with an LG logo.
[G2 General] gerald410:
I had a similar issue running PA and was unable to flash back to stock, as soon as I used a stock build.prop from a stock system dump the flash went thru! Just re-read I would re-flash a rom so that you can boot up then change the build.prop if possible good luck.
[G2 General] ratcatcher7:
Thanks!

Just wanted to say thanks :)

Flashed my ebay sourced (UKBNSUK) 32Gb G2 from D80210b-HKG-XX to D80210b-EUR-XX.

No real reason to do this other than getting an English keyboard as default after a hard reset.

Now that's worked I might try a custom rom :good: (coming from years in the iPhone wilderness so this is all new to me :p)
[G2 General] Demonlinx:

[G2 General] jke000:
Ignore below. I used the LGFlashTool2014 to directly flash D80130b_00.kdz and it look like it's working.

-----------------------

I have a question/problem; not quite sure if this is the right thread to post in.

Recently purchased a used LG G2 D801 (T-Mobile). When I connect the phone to the LG Mobile Support Tool (B2CAppSetup.exe), it shows the phone as LGD500BK with software version D80118P. Googling "LGD500BK" brings up the LG Optimus F6. The LG G2 is running KitKat 4.4.2 and the LG Mobile Support Tool says the software is up to date.

I was expecting to be able to update to Lollipop via the LG software and am worried that the software thinks I have the wrong phone (LGD500BK for LF F6) hence the lack of the Lollipop update. Anyone see this problem before and any ideas for solutions? Thank you.
[G2 General] hyelton:
You didn't fully explain.. Does the phone boot up into an OS? That could be helpful. If not

Then follow the kdz method in the OP and flash. If it doesn't in need show it's a different model that's because whoever had it before did that.
[G2 General] jke000:
Sorry. Yes, I was able to successfully flash using the method in the OP. I was just a little worried going forward with it because I was seeing weird behavior (wrong model listed in a different LG tool, LG tool saying no update available) but I bit the bullet and tried it anyways and it worked great. Thanks for the follow-up.
[G2 General] LazyG:
you need both dll & hex editor
[G2 General] hyelton:

[G2 General] hyelton:
That means that the rom that's currently installed on your phone is based on a different model than your actual phone. Do you still have twrp? Just flash a rom that's for your actual model then flash back to stock.
[G2 General] :
no I don't have twrp anymore. it got messed up. so what should I do?
[G2 General] hyelton:
You'll need a hex editor to edit the tot file.

Or unless there's a kdz for your phone use the kdz method.
[G2 General] :
I just got a hex editor. how do i edit the kdz?
[G2 General] hyelton:
You edit the tot. I was saying to try flashing a kdz using the kdz method

so consider this .. need your help .

Go and look up the rom you where running. Usually in flashtool it will say what it is. But if not do you know what rom you where running? If so link it.

http://oceanhost.eu/yvmmc5vqu9n2/VS98039A_05.kdz.htm

I would quickly say I'd do it over teamviewer for you but I probably won't be able to til about 8pm EST. I've had a fractured rip and sprained muscle in my chest so I gotta wait til meds kick in fully again to move around. But if you can go ahead and download the kdz and give the method a go it's pretty simple. But if you can't get il it try my best to remotely help you later.

yes i was changing the port to 41 under modems and not under port as i was supposed to.

thank you so much although the flash failed but it said that CrossDL (d802) to (d800). SW

i opened my phone and the mother board said its d800

now that the imei number is back imei number check says that that it is from hongkong d802

sw d80230a_00.

thats why i was trying to flash a d800 tot on it.

help

You'll need to use a hex editor in the tot file.
[G2 General] arungk2:
sir please explain as i am new to this
[G2 General] aftabalam8c2:
First thing that..

You must be sure about the model..

If you have flashed any other model tot or kdz or used lg support tool to upgrade..

Then after flashing tot.....of exact model

Yr phone will lost download mode and it will hard brick.

So be care full.

Let me know which model u have..

And what u did before that its not taking tot
[G2 General] arungk2:
i got the phone opened and the main board said D800 but the imei number check says it is D802 hongkong

so what should i do now.

I just flashed hungary v30a and it just stay on moving logo.Is that bootloop?
[G2 General] Shujja Haider:
I have downloaded all the files mentioned in the KDZ Guide but haven't tried myself.

while the firmware file was downloaded, i was checking for change logs and reviews of lollipop,

I see people are complaining alot about stability and loss of features after update.

some are also complaining that camera quality has become horrible.

this thing has made me a bit confused. Previously i was using Xperia L, and its support was ceased at 4.2.2 and for further updates, I had to seek help of custom ROMs and it helped alot.

in case of G2, support is continued and it will get 5.1. i strictly want to stay on stock version since in customs, many basic features are lost no doubt.

right now i need your expert opinion, what should i do.

whats your saying about the complains that people are making, what would be your suggestion ?
[G2 General] f_4Strings:
After flashing, did you make a factory hard reset? It should solve.
[G2 General] berceniqgil:
.kdz and .tot file

is it okay if i use a .kdz file instead of a .tot??? i cant find a .tot file for my device. its not on the links either. TIA
[G2 General] hyelton:
I'd suggest you'd go back and reread the OP.

You didn't really give much info. There are a ton of different model numbers. Some models use tot some don't , some have both available.

You can use a tot with the tot method or you can use a kdz with the kdz method.
[G2 General] berceniqgil:
yes my bad, im sorry. im on d802.. and ive tried the .kdz method twice and it always failed. now im looking on you .tot method of flashing. i wonder if i can use a .kdz file on it. (i guess not) so now my question is, how can i get a .tot file for d802 or its not really possible??
[G2 General] hyelton:
As I said you use tot for tot method or kdz with kdz method it's simple you can't use a different file with each method.

What do you mean by always failed? There are numerous ways it can fail. Failing at 85% can mean that it's done..

Also sometimes an error will pop but when it's actually flashing..

Did you make sure lgemodem shows up in device manager under ports? If not you need to work on the driver issue. If it does make sure your kdz is in the same folder as flashtool as well what I said above a screen shot of the error would nice.
[G2 General] hyelton:

[G2 General] hyelton:
They asked for the D802 lollipop kdz.

Lollipop tot is and might not ever be available for the D800. Right now only OTA or custom rom to get lollipop on the D800

But since it's tot it will probably never be available for both the G2 and G3
[G2 General] Oaklands:
I want to make sure I am looking at the correct items. It has been quite some time since i setup my phone.

I have a Verizon VS980 32Gb variety.

I am currently running Lollipop and am rooted. I can't stand the battery life on my phone and it seems a bit more sluggish.

I am wanting to go back to kitkat. I looked at the kdz file and TOT files and did not see any of them have 16gb or 32Gb in the file names. I don't want to load a 16Gb version in error.

Which files and method do you recommend?

Thanks...
[G2 General] Soufiansky:
There is no firmware for D800 variant ? Lollipop i mean..

Thanks.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yeah there kitkat.

There most likely won't ever be a lollipop tot from the looks of things so far. You'd have to OTA or load a rom.
[G2 General] Soufiansky:
I don't have OTA for now and even pc suite tell me there is no update :(
[G2 General] hyelton:
First of all there's no 16GB Verizon variant. USA models are all 32GB only. So if your flashing your actual model then there's no worry of flashing a 16gb firmware.

I stated in the OP files are 32GB unless stated there 16GB.
[G2 General] hyelton:
You cannot use PC suite on the D800 I don't think as there's no kdz. I'm guessing your either not on AT&T or your in another country? That would be the reason you cannot OTA. It requires an active AT&T sim. You'd need to go the custom rom route to get lollipop
[G2 General] Soufiansky:
Exactly , i'm not on AT&T and i'm from morroco..oh god so no lollipop even OTA ? :(
[G2 General] hyelton:
Nope you'll need to root and flash a rom.
[G2 General] Soufiansky:
Oh god.. why did i took the D800 variant :mad:

Will try to change it but dunno.. there is no "stable"custom ( AOSP ones..)

Hey, i have been having a problem with going back to stock on an LG G2 (D802)

I followed all the instructions but while the LG Mobile S/W installer is working, it either tells me the USB has disconnected or while installing the software, it stops at 2% and gives me an error. Before installing the software, it tells me it cant connect to the server.

Could anyone help me since i really need an answer as fast as possible.

Thanks!

Suhail.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Well the "cannot connect to server" is not an error. It's most likely going to come up, if you move the message over you'll see that the that the phone is actually flashing.

Make sure your running flash tools as administratior?

Did you make sure lgemodem shows up in device manager under ports?
[G2 General] Slayyer:
-Yes

- lgemodem doesnt show up instead, it shows something along the lines of LG Android MTP Device
[G2 General] Swetnes:
Apply to file

I may be a little ignorant but I think the command only applies to the folder and I have had issues in the past with permissions being applied to a folder and it not impacting the file. In regards to the 666 vs. 644...that might actually be best since the OTA wipes the directory at its end.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Is that under com ports or under something else? If it's not under com ports then you need to work on that before it flashes.

Are you sure the phone is in download mode?
[G2 General] Slayyer:
Yes, the phone is in download mode but i still cant find lgemodem. how do i get lgemodem since i always get what i think is the LG PC Suite drivers instead of the LG Drivers supplied in this thread even after i install them
[G2 General] hyelton:
Lg PC suite installs almost the same set of drivers.... Both are exactly from LG there not modified. So what do you see on your phones screen?

Are you making sure your using a USB 2.0 ports and not a 3.0 port? Make sure your using the cable that came with your phone? Restart your PC?
[G2 General] Oaklands:
Thanks. I just wanted to make sure I did not brick my phone when rolling back. I did not realize Verizon did not have a 16b version.
