Ohh silly me.. :p

Actually I am in India & here 32 GB D802 are also available so unaware of that.. Thnx..

using LS980 unlocked.

I have messed with some sys files & un-installed them so I guess the ZVD OTA will not work so thinking to tot zvc now..

BTW is it necessary to set the date back to 2012 while using the LG flash tool ?

---------- Post added at 05:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 AM ----------

Voila. I had removed many sys aps like LG themes live wallpapers even task mngr... still OTA went fine... yay :D

Only lost root.
[G2 General] Remcotjuuh:
Hi people,

KDZ method worked fine for my Dutch D802. The OP says changing the language to English isn't necessay since it will be English by default, but my LG flash program only showed question marks and no English whatsoever gehehe. Isn't it better to set it to English?

And how "stock" is returning to stock? For example, does it also replace the radio and bootloader with the stock variants? I'd like to know this. Thanks in advance!
[G2 General] krustation:
The one posted now. I almost did the old method with a bunch of steps that are a bit more complicated.

Method 2 was the one posted here before the current one.

[G2 General] byproxy:
so i'm not sure what's changed... i've done this before using the TOT method... but for some reason i can't get it to work this time.

i put the phone in download mode. com is set to 41. it appears to be in download mode - says "firmware update" and such at the top of the screen.

i fire up the lg flash tool, select the appropriate dll and software file and hit the yellow arrow. it runs through it's checks and then just hangs on "ready".

what am i doing wrong this time? it worked before....
[G2 General] RohanM:
don't connect the phone first. when the LG tool says Ready then conect phone in download mode, it will then trigger the flashing.
[G2 General] byproxy:
awesome! thanks a ton. that did it! guess i didn't remember that part from before. worked like a charm. thanks again!

I bricked my brand new LG G2 device in my pathetic attempts to install CM 11 on it. I had managed to successfully root the device, but when it came to flashing it and installing the CM 11 ROM I totally screwed it up. Ended up wiping the device without making a backup, and the CM 11 ROM ain't installing !

So I decided I'd go back to stock by the prescribed method posted by OP, but to make matters worse I don't know the firmware version my device was on. I bought my device from U.A.E, but I doubt if it had been a korean or asian version or UAE version.

So I wanted to know if there was any way I can figure out which version I was on from TWRP recovery.

such Panic

much Confuse

If you know your IMEI you can find out the country code suffix by going to this URL and substituting in your IMEI.

You'll get a response like this...

OK. So I have the required firmware for my device. Now the condurum is which method to follow. I find the OP quite confusing for some reason.

Can someone please tell me the meaning of "TOT method".

And as an international device holder which method applies to me ?

Is it the first posted method with the graphics or the 2nd one below it in the graybox with the quote heading on it.

(Yes I'm a big time noob, and this is my first time here. But thanks in advance for saving my brand new device from the soft-brick)
[G2 General] <a href="">:
Don't worry about TOT method. Your file is a KDZ, you should flash it with LGFlashTool2014 using the steps described in OP (with the graphics).

I cant get my computer to recognize my phone (vs980), ive install all the drivers that i found but still nothing, i cant even see my device under device manager when i plug it in. I was stucked on fastboot but got download mode back after flashing laf.img on fastboot.

Does anyone know what else i can do?..
[G2 General] Swamphound:
Try Naked Drivers. Worked for me.

[G2 General] dtx.boy:
Ok, This is what i did, plug in it to compurer and the phone went to fastmode, in device manager i can see it as an android device (Asus Bootloader interface), i tried to manually change the drivers to naked drivers but it wont let me (drivers already updated/), I uninstalled the drivers and copied naked driver to "c:windows/system32/drivers" but still nothing, when i plug it in to computer in download mode nothing happens, its not like computer tried to install drivers and failed. any other suggestions? ive tried the universal adb drivers too.
[G2 General] Swamphound:
I had the same issue as you. I had to go thru and find every instance of drivers on my computer and make sure they were gone, then install Naked. Also I've found it matters what ROM or recovery I'm using as to whether my device is recognized.

Here's hoping... :laugh:

Like many people, I seem to be in an "unfixable" soft bricked state. It all started after installed GravityBox KK on my rooted stock G2 (D801). I know GravityBox is mostly for AOSP roms but I've seen several G2 users online running it just find. I enable the module in Xposed, reboot and OH CRAP! Shows the LG logo, then black screen with flashing blue/green LED. I have poured over this thread and others and have not seen anything quite like my issue.

No download mode, no adb and no fastboot. I can get into recovery but I'm running stock recovery, after a couple of factory resets didn't help I turned to XDA.

Getting "Device model is different!" error using TOT method with correct DLL/TOT and LGFlashTool2014 stops at 2% and wants me to retry.

[G2 General] deathsquad737:
recovery

auto rec is for custom recovery on kk towel root or ioroot for root!the easiest way to install recovery is flashify[app]since you have stock recovery u can just flash the img 2.7.0.0 then you can flash 2.7.1.0 in custom recovery.im speaking bout twrp but i tried them all cwm/phils touch
[G2 General] 6ril1:
From 4.4.2, if you want to have a custom recovery, you must downgrade to 4.2.2 bootloader and install patched kernel.

Autorec does that automatically while it flashes TWRP 2.7.0.0

Don't use flashify for installing custom recovery in KK.

Hey guys, I have a LG G2 sprint variant model LS980 that I believe has been soft-bricked. Currently when I follow the second method to get it back to stock ROM, I am having issues where the Model is showing as D802 instead of LS980 which prevents the LG Flash tool from repairing it back to stock ROM. I've read through most of the thread and haven't found a solution to get my phone working again. I can boot into TWRP Recovery and the Firmware update via USB. but I don't cannot boot up the phone into any ROM I receive message that says fastboot.
