Oh okay thanks, just one more question, should i change the the port to COM 41 as mentioned a few pages ago?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Everything is all in the OP. If your doing the kdz method you don't have too. If your doing to the tot you have too.
[G2 General] zhzhou:
I just think you should recommend that people try the TOT method if they get stuck at 2% using KDZ (assuming the TOT file for the model is available).

I was using Win7 and couldn't get past 2% using KDZ. Then I did TOT method which worked, although it was difficult to find the TOT for D803 (which would be a great addition to your file server). And then I was able to upgrade using KDZ (same computer and drivers in Win7). So I think it's more than just drivers in Win8.

Anyway, this guide is still awesome.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Thats just the SOFTWARE Version. There is NO D80210b kdz for OPEN Europe to my knowledge. Theres a D80210b for Hong Kong and few others but not Europe
[G2 General] mab71:
Where can i get the one for Hong Kong plz?

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

Plz dont mind my noobish questions... Cos I'm really new to LG. Been with samsung all this while
[G2 General] hyelton:
Hong Kong one is in the StorageCow link as well
[G2 General] mab71:
Thanks...got it now. yesterday it was showing an error message. Is it safe if i wanted to flash the UK Open D80210b FW on my device? i mean is it carrier specific?
[G2 General] SysAdmNj:
I must have done something bad bad, I cant get into recovery. I get a quick boot screen message "boot verification certify error" message. So I tried to go back to stock which I have done in the past and I cant even do that now. I get the lg flash tool to the ready state, I get my device in download mode, I plug it in and then the tool starts and immediately fails. Message is "Download FAIL!!" "Device model is different, check phone or dll"

I've done this before a few times and never got this issue, any suggestions?
[G2 General] Bill_windows:
are you sure that you make the steps properly?
[G2 General] SysAdmNj:
Yes, I've done it before successfully. Its only today after I couldnt get back to recovery and that boot verification certify error message came up, since then its been weird issues. I cant get back to recovery but I can reboot the phone ok and is functional. I tried flashing different recovery and says flashed successfully but I still cant boot to it.
[G2 General] marshygeek:
Does it really matter what OS to use when flashing stock? Who have successfully flashed using Win 7?
[G2 General] SysAdmNj:
I have used win7 before successfully but now isn't working for me.
[G2 General] Kickoff:
Is there any chance that we at least understand the reason of the 49% issue? I not only can't flash a kdz to my G2 but have bootloop with any custom roms. Only factory recovery works, I have tried really everything in the last week. Stupid and annoying.
[G2 General] evandrovendas:
I'm having the same problem. reaches 49% and error.
[G2 General] robeppef:
Am I on Stock now?

Hi, I have rooted my phone and want to send it in for repair.

Yesterday I used LG Mobile Support Tool and installed the newest firmware with it.

Am I ok now? Or do I have to do the full agenda of the 1st post here?

Thx, Robeppef
[G2 General] jbaggs:
Those with 49% error

Hi guys

I've been pulling my hair out trying to restore my G2 with the official LG tool. Nothing would work. I tried everything, downloading so many different .kdz files, ADB sideload, changed COM port number, tried windows 7,8 & XP, tried mac, change the drivers and so on. So stressful, I pretty much gave up.

However, and I'm not promising this will work for everyone but it was a last ditch effort that it seems has paid off.

2 users in this thread have stated that when the phone screen says 49% they've pulled the USB out the phone then just put it back in. I did exactly that and the process went through and booted up perfectly. Obviously I don't take responsibility if it makes things worse but it's worked for the 3 of us that have tried it.

Now the phone reaches 100% and reboots before it does on your computer screen, just leave it after you've plugged it back in after pulling it out and wait until your computer screen says it's finished.

Hope it helps
[G2 General] Kama45:
Flashing a stock rom will also solve some of these issues.
[G2 General] Redbyte97:
for how long did you pulled out the usb?
[G2 General] jbaggs:
It was a stock ROM I was trying to flash all along, not a custom ROM or anything, downloaded through both the official LG program and the links in the original post.

I took the USB cable out and then right back in again, literally within a second.
[G2 General] Redbyte97:
didnt work :(
[G2 General] Desensitized:
FYI, had the 49% issue for a week now.

Tried a different computer and it worked like a charm again. OS was Win7 64.
[G2 General] perrofeo58:
i flashed yesterday by win7 Ultimate 32bit with no problem. 3 advices

1 Put firmware in the same folder of Flash Tool

2 disable antivirus

3 in the prompt windows set OTHER COUNTRY, choose REP OF KOREA only if u are flashing Korean model
[G2 General] Gamersab:
If I flash grola ROM will my phone remain unlocked ?

P.s nobody is responding there.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Have no clue. You'd have better luck in the sprint forums for that.
[G2 General] TSF14:
Aaaauuugggg! [MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION], where are the .tot files for AT&T???
[G2 General] hyelton:
Uhh, where they always have been in the OP firmware files links :D
[G2 General] TSF14:
They download as an empty folder for me.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Works fine here. Are you making sure the file size is correct? And not corrupt download?
[G2 General] TSF14:
Tried with Chrome, and IE & empty folders.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Browsers are not download managers. A download manager is something like free download manager FDM.

That's really odd though.

EDIT: See Screenshot, Just freshly downloaded it again.

If your zip files are downloading empty that sounds like something wrong with your PC causing that. Ive never seen that happen unless it was not downloaded fully or Malware being the culprit.
[G2 General] TSF14:
Hmm, Even FDM says "No file found on server."
[G2 General] hyelton:
Maybe use another PC to download it? Thats not right lol, Something has got to be up with your PC
[G2 General] TSF14:
Right, will try the laptop.
[G2 General] Slayyer:
Is there a .tot for the D802? because i have tried mostly everything to get it to work, switch Windows, check that its showing under ports, etc. i really need a solution since every fix gives the same result, stopping at 2% and tell me to retry
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yeah there's a few in the firmware links files with the kdzs
[G2 General] TSF14:
[MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION], thanks I got it, installed and back to life!
[G2 General] Slayyer:
How do i know which one to take for an international D802 for lollipop?
[G2 General] hyelton:
There's no lollipop D802 tot. Only kdz.
[G2 General] Bilgramiz:
I am stuck in step 8. There is no LGE drivers showing there. What i can do in this case? Kindly see attached image as well.
[G2 General] Soufiansky:
Do not quote the OP..

And try to install them again ? Which variant ?
[G2 General] Bilgramiz:
Yeah it was my mistake. Sorry for that. I am using Sprint LS980
[G2 General] Soufiansky:
Go back to step 2 and download the drivers again , make sure they are installed. Then when you plug you phone to the computer make sure it is detected and the drivers are working.
[G2 General] Bilgramiz:
I tried again and getting following errors as mention in attached image.
[G2 General] Soufiansky:
Reboot your computer ,when you plug your phone don't let windows update check for other drivers , click on search in local (or something like that)
[G2 General] zlays:
One question:

I have 16GB D802 from Vodafone Germany,upon phone startup it shows Vodafone logo...can I flash generic firmware and have standard LG stock boot and rom on my phone?

Thanks!
[G2 General] Slayyer:
The .kdz method doesnt work not matter what i try or do. I really need help in working it out. I can see the drivers, phone is in download mode, i installed the kdz via a download manager, the kdz is in the flashtools folder, i followed the pictures for the kdz method but i still get stuck at 2% and it tells me to retry evreytime no matter what Windows i use (8.1/7)
[G2 General] sportscrazed2:
I've downloaded all 3 different tot files twice now and with 3 different archivers tell me they are corrupt. Any help would be appreciated really driving me crazy
[G2 General] Bilgramiz:
I tried following method. Now devices showing but drivers not able to install.
[G2 General] Bilgramiz:
I manually install drivers but now ROM is not flashing with Flash Tool. I plug/unplug cables, tried on different USB ports but still not flashing. Don't know what i am doing wrong here.
[G2 General] bineeshk:
Downgrade to Kitkat

Hi hyelton , thank you for this great post. i followed your post and upgraded my D802 to Lollipop India version: D80230b using kdz method.

Can i downgrade from lollipop to kitkat using the same method ? .Thank you
[G2 General] YOLOSWAGSPODERMAN:
Even I was stuck at 2% error with kdz . I solved the issue by flashing stock(jellybean) with TOT method for my d802 and afterwards using kdz method to upgrade it to lollipop. I used the same drivers so it was not a driver issue or corrupt download issue at my end.
[G2 General] sportscrazed2:
None of the ls980 tot zips will extract sucessfully on window 7 or ubuntu. Please for the love of god help this is getting annoying
[G2 General] aftabalam8c2:
It did not download completely.
[G2 General] sportscrazed2:
3 or 4 tries unsuccessfully? So far I've been downloading on my windows box both in chrome and download ninja. I purposely loaded up all the tots before bed so I could get this over with this morning. Should I try wget or something on my linux box?
[G2 General] aftabalam8c2:
Are you downloading from storage cow???
[G2 General] sportscrazed2:
Yes and it's freaking infuriating because I know the method works having done it before but i can't do crap without extracting the file. I've tried winrar,7zip,built in archiver,7zip, 7zip,and unzip on linux. It's getting to the point that I am thinking about spashing the god damn thing with a sledgehammer. Edit completely fresh download same freaking corrupt file upon extraction. Is there anywhere I can straight download the tot file and skip the extraction? Willing to send somebody a flash drive if need be driving me crazy
[G2 General] hyelton:
Have you simply tried using internet download manager or FDM? The file downloads just fine with no issue here... Chrome doesn't count.

First of all the tot is in a zip file for this very reason along with it being over 3Gb in size makes it even harder for people download with certain connections. There's nothing wrong with my zip file. I suggest you use a recommended download manager like I stated and like as I stated in the OP to suggest using one.
[G2 General] sportscrazed2:
I did use a download manager download ninja and I did it multiple times. I don't know why it fails to extract on three different pcs with 2 different oss. do sizes in picture look accurate?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Never heard or used download ninja. As I said. Try something that's know issue free as in IDM or FDM.

Try using one of those download managers and update me.

Also did you try downloading say the lgflashtool zip and see if it comes up corrupt? If so then it could turn out with malware or a rootkit on your computers, I've seen some odd things happen lol

What it show when you try to extract it?
[G2 General] sportscrazed2:
Well trying idm now hopefully it works. Literally driving me crazy
[G2 General] hyelton:
Just redownloaded again, took a screenshot, its working. So either its that one downloader you where using or something else on your ISP or PC end.
[G2 General] sportscrazed2:
Well I have 15 minutes left downloading on idm so hopefully it works. My internet is too slow to be doing this constantly. I doubt it's a pc problem seeing how I tried 2 windows 7 pcs and a linux pc. Eddit still getting this after downloading with idm.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Wow... I've never seen this happen even with a bad ISP when using IDM. I'd suggest trying this on another connection if you think it's not your computer. When I get back home I'll upload the tot without a zip.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Please check your PM, I sent you a mirrored link. Let me know if that works or not, if you still get the same issue then I`d suggest it to be an ISP issue if your for sure its not a PC issue.

Also make sure no antivirus is on as well.
[G2 General] wahab96:
Help Needed, Boot loop! No Download Mode

Well yesterday i did factory reset to my LG G2 D801 running on lollipop via TWRP 2.8.3.1,

I also wiped delvik cache and internal SD afterwards...

After wiping I rebooted my phone but it get stuck on T-Mobile Logo (It does started to install drivers while in boot loop, But I don't know how to take advantage of that)

I know the way to install ROMs via TOT and KDZ method

But I need to put my phone into download mode first, but it is not getting into it :(:(:(

So I really need help over here so I can fix my phone your help will be really appreciated, so please help
[G2 General] sportscrazed2:
Oh please do I would be forever grateful. Could you do zv8? This is what happens when I try and extract with linux
[G2 General] hyelton:
I already sent the link :p it should be in your PMs
[G2 General] sportscrazed2:
Thanks I'll give that a try. The whole reason my phone is bricked in the first place is I was trying to install cm12 directly from stock lollipop. Thats why i was hoping for a zv8 link but, if zvc works i'll take it
[G2 General] Soufiansky:
As you know all , after the lollipop update ,the system data have increased and free storage was reduced a bit.

I was wondering if i flash cloudy g2 or another rom , will my partition be modified ? Or i need to flash a KK stock firmware them a custom rom to get back the memory i lost on LP?

Thanks
[G2 General] hyelton:
Did that work?
[G2 General] sportscrazed2:
Not at all. I have to work 5 to midnight central any chance I can get the tot file by then? don't really want this hanging over my head
[G2 General] Soufiansky:
[MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION] please ?
[G2 General] hyelton:
The link I sent you was on another server ran by someone else. I'll try and get it uploaded, but I think you really need to worry about what's going on your with Internet / Computers. So this is clearly an issue on your end or ISP as to why you cannot download zip files, which is very odd.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Can you please hang on lol. I'm not a robot :p. I see every post you just have to get me time. I have some important issues going on at the moment.

First off this is a back to stock/stock firmware thread, not a custom rom thread :p

What do you mean by memory lost? Usually that's what a few MB? If you want to surely be back like lollipop never happened then yes flash back to stock.

Flashing a rom doesn't really modify your partition. It just erases the software that was on it and places whatever your flashing on it.
[G2 General] Soufiansky:
Thank you and sorry to disturb you ,it's just because i wanted a fast answer before i start flashing anything.

Sorry mate and thanks again for your attention , have a nice day :)
[G2 General] hyelton:
I understand, That`s how I am currently working with getting a new server. But sadly it takes time. Trying to work on new and improved things for my server.
[G2 General] sportscrazed2:
IDM reports success on the download. It just won't extract on 4 different computers 3 running windows 7 one with linux. I've tried pretty much everything i can think of even zip repair apps. Downloading via vpn now with hopes that fixes something
[G2 General] hyelton:
Okay, If IDM is saying its done, I know you`ve tried several computers, but that really sounds like something on the computers mucking with the zip files.
[G2 General] thibistin:
Hello, I have LG G2 F320 But

* I do not know what good is a firmware?

I have entered my IMEI in the lg phone firmware site and it has given me this

LGT / LG U + (KOREA)
[G2 General] hyelton:
If you have a F320 then you`d need to be flashing an F320 firmware.
[G2 General] sportscrazed2:
I don't know if it was one computer then I might agree with you but doesn't idm just dump the file onto your pc untouched?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Here is the reason I think you should agree with me, I gave you a link to a completely different server ran by someone else/uploaded by someone else and you still had the same exact problem when the files are perfectly fine.

When Downloading with IDM it downloads the file in muti parts, usually 8 by default. As well as providing resume support and other features when on unstable connections.

But I`ve never seen so many failed/courpt downloads using a download manager unless it was a problem with the computer and or Anti-Virus blocking/Scanning and never finishing.

Not sure if you ever tried it, Download the this zip: http://oceanhost.eu/mipqojfvv9ti/LG_Flash_Tool_2014.zip.html , if that downloads and you still cannot open it, its is defiantly the computer. If it downloads and works, then its most likely a ISP problem with large files.
[G2 General] thibistin:
ok but what will change in my phone if I switch the firmware? Rom will change? also the installed languages will be lost?
[G2 General] hyelton:
I suggest you go and read the OP to learn about what this thread is for.

Flashing a firmware wipes everything and puts the phone as if it was new.
[G2 General] sportscrazed2:
Ok i will give that a try if vpn download doesn't work. I might have to try it on the linux box instead this time. All the downloads have been on one pc copied to others via samba or usb. Edit that file extracted fine downloaded on my linux box. But it's just the tool which i already have installed. If worse comes to worse I'll install debian or something on my unused netbook and take it to the library
[G2 General] hyelton:
:eek:. I`d suggest its the computer. When I mean try another computer I meant download it on another computer. If you have a Virus/Malware/Rootkit (I`d think more of the latter) When downloading a zip will corput as soon as its done downloading. If its the computer once the file is downloaded its courpted moving it wont make a difference.
[G2 General] sportscrazed2:
vpn fixed it. don't know why but it worked. thanks for all your help. now to find the freaking phone
[G2 General] hyelton:
Then I`d make some calls to your ISP :p

Glad you finally got it!

Your welcome:)

[MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION]

Is there any fix to the installer getting stuck at 2%? a few people including me have recently have had this problem and are still trying to find out the problem
[G2 General] hyelton:
Whats your OS? I just flashed my G Pro to test it after all the problems and I have no issues what so ever.

I think it may have something to do with G2 Lollipop, or if theres a certain rom or CM that people are coming from.

Right now do the tot method if there's on available for your model then update with kdz.

Theres not really a fix as theres nothing really broken.
[G2 General] sportscrazed2:
Me too I should bill them for my time wasted. Now I'm about to install zvg but so tempted to downgrade to zv8 and install cm12
[G2 General] Slayyer:
I used both Windows 8.1/7. I use the CM 12.1 ROM for D802. What .tot is suitable to use for D802?

[G2 General] hyelton:
Please DONT quote the ENTIRE OP

First of all model #?

Also did you CHANGE your com port to com41 in device manager under ports?

If so did you unplug and replug your phone after clicking the yellow button?
[G2 General] hachuelo:
Sorry if this is been asked before but this is a super long thread,on the 2015 method on step 4 "Extract the TOT file from the Zip". Sorry buy I can not find any TOT to unzip. Also on first method the CSE Flash button doesnt shows. Thanks
[G2 General] hyelton:
Well you'd have to download the tot file to unzip it.
[G2 General] hachuelo:
My phone is a Tmobile LG G2 D801 and on the server there is no .TOT for this model of cell.
[G2 General] hyelton:
You didn't say that before :p that would had been helpful. If you have a D801 then you need to use the kdz method.

I have stated in the OP about problems in windows 8.

Was your phone running lollipop or cm before flashing?

[G2 General] hyelton:
Phone in download mode right?

After clicking the yellow button and it does nothing just unplug and replug your phone you have to do that most of the time to get it to go.

Also make your using a USB 2.0 port and not a 3.0 port.

I assume that you were running custom rom..

If yes then let me know it still running??

If yes then download buil.prob editor from google ay and check ur prop...

May be yr model name has been changed..

Check out..

If stilll same..

Then let me know.

@aftabalam8c2

What part of the build.prop should i check? because i mostly see D802
[G2 General] aftabalam8c2:
For all guys having 2% issue

Follow these troublshooot..

Follow these troubshoot to fix 2% error

Main cause of 2% error...

1)Driver not installed properly..

2) already installed many other driver like samsung driver nokia driver or any other manufacturer driver

So need to uninstall

3) if by flashing wrong or custom rom the build.prob has been changed ( main cause)

So it can be fixed by hex editor by editing kdz.

4) c++ x86 2008 and 2010 not updated ir having issue

5) not stnadard cable using during process

6) some times need to disable driver and then renable it solve the issue.

At 2% lg flash tool check model info...if the model info match with kdz dll then it flashes...otherwise stoped.

7) kdz not downloaded completely..

Easiest way to check whether kdz is corrupted or not..

Use lg firmware extractor if it opens kdz wothout any problem then kdz is 100% correct if not then its corrupted

Thanks
