2015 Method Worked on my LG G2 D801!

Woo hoo! I am back to stock again. Thank you so much. If I could find the buy a beer button, I would certainly donate. xda does not make it easy...
[G2 General] hyelton:
Awesome. Glad it worked for you. Your welcome :). There Is a donate button under everyone's name who accepts donations.
[G2 General] Bullshark_7:
Worked like a charm,thank you! :D
[G2 General] drakes992:
Hi hyelton can you help me pleas...i have LG G2 D80220D model 32GB when i open firmware files i not see where is 32GB firmwares?can you send my link?thank very much :)
[G2 General] hyelton:
There's several ones for 32gb under the lollipop folder.
[G2 General] LenAsh:
Hmmm...

d802, 32Gb, Open EUR on Cloudy 3.3. Works fine, but need to pass to AN Other for their use on Stock.

kdz (KK or LP) will not Flash, phone connects fine. Tried various "USB" COM port settings (incl. 41), just in case. Phone is on KK BL, for what it's worth.

I suppose TOT is the way to go, but the only one seems to be the 32GB SEA version - can I use that?

TIA
[G2 General] hyelton:
So if your currently running cloudy that would be why it don't work. Yes use the tot method and yes the SEA version will be fine.
[G2 General] LenAsh:
Worked a treat. TOT to SEA (forgot how "old" that 10b F/W was!), then kdz 30b.

(Might be worth adding a note to say that the SEA 32Gb TOT is usable for non-SEA d802s??)

Thanks
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yea I've stated it a ton of times. As long as the size and model number match it should be safe to flash. I might just change the file name to help though
[G2 General] drakes992:
Hyelton Yes i see but the folder is lolipop stock 32GB?...but i need KIT KAT 32GB can i use this? Europe OPEN D80220D_00.kdz or its 16GB? because before i have D80220D and in folder lolipop is D80230B ...thanks again
[G2 General] tvruikuzui123:
hi all

i got a LG G2 d801 that i flash on it a 802 stock rom and now its stuck on the LG logo

and when i try to get into its stuck on the download mode with the 3 blue circles and not switch to the update software screen

all thow it do enter to the update software screen and i flash the d802 stock rom and after the time i flashed the lollipop stock rom it didnt enter anymore

what i do manage to get in the update with the sideload

i really dont know what else to do

i really thank you all

I'll be grateful to those who will solve my problem

there is images
[G2 General] hyelton:
That screen IS download mode. Make sure it's plugged into a USB 2.0 and not a 3.0 port and flash it back using a D801 firmware. Don't flash wrong models.
[G2 General] tvruikuzui123:
i cant flash anything with this screen...

connected with usb 2.0 port

the PC not feel the phone connected...
[G2 General] hyelton:
So your checking this by going into device manager and looking under com ports? To make sure Lge modem or lg serial is not there?

Turn phone off and try it again using another USB port??
[G2 General] tvruikuzui123:
yea i looked on the device manager and nothing new heppond like its just an image on the lg screen

there i some way i can flash something with sideload this is the only way that i can communicate with the phone

but there is so match errors....
[G2 General] luenboy:
hello.i've got lg g2 d802 unit i am in the philippines,i flashed the d80230b euro open firmware on my device.my problem is i got emergency calls only..cant send sms and calls..but mobile data is working.do you have fix on this issue?do you think flashing the asian firmware will resolve this issue?please help me on this matter..tia
[G2 General] hyelton:
That's a strange issue. If your phone says emergency calls only you shouldn't have mobile data. Are you sure your not just on wifi? I've never seen that issue before. Did you perform a factory reset? Firmware shouldn't matter as long as it's your model number.
[G2 General] luenboy:
yes im on mobile data when i tried browsing the internet..i dont know what to do..please contact me on facebook so we can chat.
[G2 General] hyelton:
I only do here. Facebook is for personal use.

And like I said did you perform a factory reset? And try and reflash and see what happens make sure your using CSE flash.
[G2 General] luenboy:
yes sir,i did a factory reset after flashing..i can see the imei uusing *#06#..i dont think my efs is damaged or whatsoever..i then go to www.imei.info and check my imei..but it says there that my unit is d800..but on the phones status it sayys d802..do you think i flashed the wrong firmware?
[G2 General] hyelton:
To find out take the back off your phone. You phone could be a D800 or D801 if you had bought it online as referb
[G2 General] luenboy:
i removed the back cover and it says that its a d802 unit..what do you think is the problem?do i have to reflash the firmware or do i have to flash the asian firmware?
[G2 General] hyelton:
So you looked at the model on the motherboard? Don't go by a sticker.
[G2 General] luenboy:
yes i looked at the model printed inside.and same goes to the back case itself.do you have any idea how to fix this?i have found some post that this issue is caused when the first owner of the unit reported their phone missing or is stolen..and it has been blocked by their carrier.so why is it that flashing a firmware suddenly activated the blocked state of the phone?
[G2 General] mr.what15:
Confused

When i click to download the firmware file , when the new tab open, there are lots of files there i don't know which one to download. I have D801 T mobile lg g2. Kindly someone guide me
[G2 General] hyelton:
There is a folder called "T-Mobile G2" on that page which has the files you need.
[G2 General] hyelton:
No.. Flashing a phone has nothing to do with a carriers system/database of blocked phones and would not "block it"

Well if your IMEI is coming up as a D800 then clearly something is fishy somewhere with your phone if its a D802. Does both the IMEI under status and on the back of the phone where the model is matches?
[G2 General] luenboy:
where can i find the imei on the phone?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Under phone dial *#06#
[G2 General] luenboy:
ok ive seen it..at the back of the back cover there is a sticker that indicates my imei..seems legit to me..its the same when i dial *#06#..im losing hope in fixing this issue.
[G2 General] hyelton:
So you've tried re flashing and using the CSE flash?
[G2 General] luenboy:
the first time i flashed it,i used cse flash..the second time doesnt work either..same issue..i got a popup message saying that "phone not authorized. turn off and restart your phone. if network is unavailable, contact customer service"..
[G2 General] mdav07:
So I have a sprint ls980 running cm11 been using it on straight talk att service. I want to go back to stock so my wife can use it on sprint. I found the tot file but not sure if I need zva or zv8 I had to flash zv8 radios for the rom so am I gonna need zva tot file? Also I can't find a system img just the tot file. Any help would be great thanks.
[G2 General] hyelton:
What do you mean you cannot find a system Img? That's not needed everything is part of the tot.

Your only issue would be you'd need to have the right firmware for your sim slot to work. I know some of the sprint stock firmwares block sim usage.
[G2 General] mdav07:
Well when I click on the zva download link it just redirects me back to the previous page. So I can't download anything for step 1 now in step 11-12 the only thing I need is the tot file that's extracted from the zip from step 1?
[G2 General] hyelton:
The link works fine for me. The tot file is in the zip file.

When the page brings you back that means something is up with the browser your using. Try another browser? I have hot linking protection on my server and usually people only get issues if they have settings that block referrer

I have LS980 its on jb 4.2.2 rooted i want to update to lollipop what should i do
[G2 General] amjadiqbaltarar:

[G2 General] alexnaoumi:
Hello, I'm trying to recover from a brick...the KDZ flasher didn't work, so I'm trying to use the TOT method...I have everything ready to go, but my device fails to restore. The LG FlashTool says that I have the wrong model or dll... My device model reads F350K in the FlashTool, but I definitely have the T-Mobile D801... I guess my question is, how screwed am I right now? Is there any hope of recovering my device... The last custom ROM I ran was stock debloated lollipop.
[G2 General] xmayhemreturnsx:
Hex edit the tot file so that it says your phone is the other version but make sure to use a d801 tot
[G2 General] Gamersab:
How can I downgrade ls980 from lollipop to kitkat ? I'm having strange WiFi issues
[G2 General] hyelton:
Follow the guide in the OP everything is there. Downgrade, upgrade, back to stock it's the same process.
[G2 General] Gamersab:
I heard that I'll be needing radio files kk boot loader and all that ?

Like it's the same the way I did in past ?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Radio, bootloader, etc are all in the tot and kdz files.
[G2 General] Gamersab:
Will it work are you sure ? I don't want to mess my device.

P.s I onced totted my phone 2 months back
[G2 General] Rehaniqbal.gemini:
Just a question.

1. if i am on lollipop 5.0.1 custom Rom can i use this tool on my lg g pro to upgrade to 5.2 ???

2. will this only work for KDZ file or we can use .Zip file to flash Rom ??? Cannot we use zip file with this tool to flash ??? i am having signal problems with my custom Rom. Can i reinstall the Rom with this tool with zip file that i have or not ????
[G2 General] Gamersab:
Please do reply
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yes.. It will work but any problems with wifi/data is due to sprint firmware weirdness. So I'd look that up first. But everything is included.
[G2 General] hyelton:
There is a guide for the G Pro in the G Pro section. What zip? You mean a custom rom? No you cannot.
[G2 General] haramzada:
I have LS980 its on jb 4.2.2 rooted i want to update to lollipop what should i do

anyone??? sorry im new to this ofcouse i should mention that i cant update via OTA
[G2 General] dyepnoodle:
Hi, im using a korean variant F320S. when i checked the links on the TOT method, the download section for the files shows that the firmware are on KDZ file. Where can i download the TOT files? will downgrade my G2 to kitkat to get root, or i dont need to downgrade? is there a root method that works for lollipop on my device? planing to install cloudy G3.

Thanks!
[G2 General] Gamersab:
Flash KitKat tot file, don't update it to lollipop.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Why not use the kdz method? Tot files are not easy to find. That's why kdz is more common
[G2 General] haramzada:
why not? also i find kdz method easier

i tried flashing TWRP by rootmanager now it gives me boot certification error in recovery:\
[G2 General] hyelton:
I think the person meant due to issues with lollipop. Sprint models don't use kdz method only tot.
[G2 General] haramzada:
got it, any idea on this ? i tried flashing TWRP by rootmanager now it gives me boot certification error in recovery then shows blank screen
[G2 General] hyelton:
No clue sorry, don't own the phone, and when I did I never rooted it. Usually that happens when you do the wrong one or wrong model.
[G2 General] g.paganini:
Any idea what changed in Windows 10 so now I can't kdz my d802.. On Windows 7, I did it plenty of times with this method, but since I clean formated to 10, I start the flash tool, press cse, and everything. The software starts to extract, and when it should start flashing, some errors occurs...
[G2 General] hyelton:
No. Windows 10 can just be as glitchy as 8 was when flashing. Coming from a custom rom? That could be why your having an issue.
[G2 General] haramzada:
since i can still use it will factory resetting fix this?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Fix what? You never stated why you where wanting to go back to stock.
[G2 General] haramzada:
recovery, im on stock i wanted to goto lollipop but since u guys are saying it has issues
[G2 General] hyelton:
If your stock then why was you wanting to go back to stock?
[G2 General] haramzada:
i want to goto kitkat and my recovery is screwed i was asking if i factory reset my phone will it fix my recovery
[G2 General] hyelton:
No, you'd need to flash it back to stock.
[G2 General] g.paganini:
So , i should use TOT method since I have a D802 International ?
[G2 General] hyelton:
If your currently running a custom rom, and kdz method won't work yes you'll need to do the tot method
[G2 General] Rehaniqbal.gemini:
Do we have to copy the extracted KDZ Files of the Rom in LG FLASH TOOLS FOLDER before running lg Flash toools ???
[G2 General] hyelton:
Extracted kdz files? You don't need to extract the kdz just use it. But it doesn't hurt to put the file in the same folder as flashtool.

Please don't quote the entire OP it makes the thread messy.
[G2 General] Gamersab:
Can I hard reset after rooting my ls980 ?

I did it with my older phone and I ended up in boot loop, so this time I gotta be sure
[G2 General] hyelton:
You should be able to unless you've done changes like build.prob changes that would be the only cause I'd know of that resetting would affect.
[G2 General] Fustang:
Noob question.

Can i instal 32gb room on a 16gb phone?
[G2 General] g.paganini:
Here is a solution for Windows 10 users , atleast the one that worked form me. For experimet sae i instaled the official Lg Mobile Support tool , necer started it , just atempted to use your flash tool again and it worked perfectly. It seams like win10 missed some files , so i did it standard CSE method and it went good :D

VS980

Hi I have a VS980 that I flashed to 801 mistakenly. I need instructions on the hex edit. Since VS980 and D801 are different lengths won't that change the .tot file so it won't flash? I can see changing D800 to 801 or 802. I'm having trouble editing it. Tried from Linux and Windows. Thanks for all the help you provide. You're a saint!
[G2 General] alexnaoumi:
I used windows to hex edit the TOT file, but when trying the modified file, the flashtool gives me an error saying "failed system load" (something along those lines). Would using linux work better than windows for hex editing?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Using a hex editor on Linux would be the same as windows. It has to be100% perfect or it'll error
[G2 General] bismarck_1870:
Help. I just tried this method on my phone and I get this message.

CrossDL [D801] to [D800]

It's an Att D800 model, but the person I bought the phone from flashed a T-mobile firmware and I'm trying to go back to stock. I'm a noobie at this and I really don't know what I'm doing. Any help would be great. Thanks.
[G2 General] hyelton:
That's because the person tried to flash the wrong one and flashtool thinks it's a D801. You'll need to do a hex edit on the tot file to make it think it's a D801 tot.
[G2 General] bismarck_1870:
Ok, how do I do that? I don't have a clue as how to edit or code. Sorry, total noob when it comes to hacking. I'd thought I would try to learn with this phone, but it's way over my head.
[G2 General] Bucika:
Hello.

I want to install the latest official lollipop for G2 802 Open Europe.. I've downloaded the .kdz.. Downloaded the tool (2014) and I always get the error.. I am on windows 10, if that helps..

I've tried with the second method.. but I just don't know where to find TOT file, lol.

I'm not a n00b, done this before, everything was working fine, but I was not on lollipop at that time.. Now I am running latest Cloudy ROM. I need stock, so I can send it in for the repair (yellow screen and yellow/green) cam when using flash..

Any help I would love it.

Thanks mates!
[G2 General] hyelton:
What was the error you need to explain.

If it was network error that's normal, you just move the window. But if it was failing that would be because your running cloudy. Which yes you would n Ed to use the tot method you'll need to use the tot file that's in the tot folder.
[G2 General] lexfrancis:
I'm trying to do the kdz method. After choosing CSE flash and clicking start, I get the message asking if I want the program to make changes to my computer. I click yes and nothing happens., that last window with the language options doesn't open, phone just sits here in download mode. I've tried this a few times now, ran the flash tool as administrator, it's the same each time. Any idea what's going on here?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Remove and try it again. That is strange.
[G2 General] lexfrancis:
I've already tried unplugging the phone, turning it off, closing the flash tool, plugging the phone back in in download mode and reopening the flash tool. Did you mean download the flash tool again? I'll try that.

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ----------

I got it to work. I don't know if this was related in any way, but I had the lg mobile support tool open while using the flash tool. When I closed it, the flash tool worked fine. My phone bootlooped once and then decided to start working, weird. But it seems like the process worked. Thanks.
[G2 General] whiteaphroo:
Boss pls help...

Help i have a problem with installing kdz.

I have tried so many times and so many different options still cant install.

When i use the LG flash tool 2014 i get this error.

Upgrade stopped due to an error

To try upgrade again follow steps bellow

1. Disconect the phone from PC and remove the battery from the phone.

2. Insert the battery back and reconect the phone to PC.

3. Turn off the phone.

4. Press retry button bellow to start the upgrade.

NOTHING HELPS!! Pls somebody...
[G2 General] hyelton:
If your currently running a custom rom you'll need to do the tot method first.

Hi,

I am trying to flash stock firmware for my LG Optimus G Pro E980 on laptop with Win 10. I am not able to find Port under Device Manager, therefore it's not able to change to COM 41. Is this a problem with Win 10 or because I am using laptop? Please help.

Thank you.
[G2 General] Bucika:
It goes to the "Do you wish to cancel the LG Mobile Phone S/W upgrade" Connection to server failed try again in a moment.

The only thing I can press is "OK"..

After I do that and press OK

Then I press "retry" and it goes to the upgrading your phone.. And it goes to 2% And it says on top "the upgrade stopped due an error" and I press retry again.. It goes to the 2% and the same message again, but now the only thing I can press is exit.

I have an international model 802 (32gb) and I've put the Europe Open D80230b.kdz in for the flash.

I am running windows 10, on my PC and the latest Cloudy on my phone.

Do you have any idea what could be done here??

And where is that TOT folder located, I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Thank you for all the help.
[G2 General] Jeik:
First of all,this thread is for G2,not G Pro.

Second, Windows 10 is still a piece of s*#t when it comes to drivers.

If you really like Windows 10(I do too,but I can't for example play any game because Nvidia and Windows 10 are enemies ATM),disable Driver Signature Enforcement and then install all the drivers for your G Pro.

And if that doesn't work,you will have to dual-boot Windows 7/8 next to 10.

Soft-Bricked Phone

Hey Hyelton,

So, I've essentially softbricked my phone by attempting to change the VS980 running kitkat 4.4.2 to have the boot be the Google logo instead of the Verizon one. (The google boot logo was looping). I went into TWRP and attempted to factory reset it from there, which now made it stuck on the LG logo. I can still boot into TWRP as well as the downloads.

However, I've attempted to use the .kdz method to update to lollipop before with no avail. I'm simply stuck on with the LG 2014 Flash tool stating that there is a connection error. For the .TOT method, can I use the .kdz that I downloaded for the .kdz method instead of downloading the .zip files? Likewise, in the instructions it states, "1.1)Download Both Stock Image & DLL File –." I've downloaded the .dll for Verizon; however, there are 3 files after that. (VS98010B_13.exe , VS98011A_01.rar , VS98026A_00.zip). Which one do I download for the stock?

Thanks, I really appreciate the help.
[G2 General] Bucika:
So no one knows how to help?? Ok.. CAN Someone then please tell me where to download TOT file give me a link for TOT File?!
[G2 General] hyelton:
All files are IN the OP. There are several tots and tons of kdzs

TOT files are in zip format as they are much larger than kdz and it helps others download them. You download the zip , extract it, and there is your TOT.

We all have to sleep at some point...
[G2 General] hyelton:
You have to unhide com ports. A simple Google will show you how to. There hidden in windows 8/10
[G2 General] hyelton:
First of all connection to server failed is normal, you MOVE the window over don't click retry.

Also yes you'll need to do the tot method of running a custom rom and the kdz method is not work. Something to do with the custom Roms that the kdz method does not like.
[G2 General] hyelton:
You would have to use the tot method if you have a custom rom , as custom Roms can interfere with the kdz method for some reason
[G2 General] hyelton:
The TOT and kdz method are two separate methods and files can not be used with one or another. All files are stock...It just depends what version you want. 10B,11A, or 26A. They're all stock. You extract the zip and get the tot. The reason they are archived are because of there larger size and it helps people be able to download them.
[G2 General] ieatrock:
Thank you!

I'll try this tomorrow. Fingers crossed!!

I have another quick question. Is there a 39A .TOT file by any chance. I was hoping to be able to go to stock lolipop instantly.

If you don't have it, what would you recommend me to do to get to lolipop after getting to 26A?

I appreciate the help! And sorry for all the newbie questions.
[G2 General] hyelton:
There's no newer tots. They're not obtainable easily like KDZs.

Just OTA to lollipop and then reset.
[G2 General] ieatrock:
Uhh what I if I don't have vzn and don't have the ability to OTA? I bought this phone on eBay.
[G2 General] hyelton:
I've seen Verizon ones OTA when not on Verizon as long as the sim is taken out.

Otherwise you can just update it with a kdz.
[G2 General] Sean473:
Has anyone got the D80210C update in the UK yet? Can you please share it if you have?

[G2 General] hyelton:
please remove that URL. If you read the OP i posted NO LG-FIRMWARE site links... Theyre advertising is rediclues! And people have trouble with there links and having to wait between 5 and 10 seconds to download it. And worst of all the person running that website is making money by using LGs resorces they are not even hosting the files which means they can be took down at any time. My links are hosted by me on my server.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Sorry about my little rant. It would not be so bad if the person that runs that site is hosting content but no its making money using LGs resources and files which is wrong!
[G2 General] rafaelsartori:
