Why was you trying to enter recovery mode? That's not required what you need is download mode to flash back stock. Keep in mind rooted in download mode is a bug, phones that have never been rooted will say rooted in download mode.
[G2 General] NotarztMoD:
Ok maybe I need to explain this better. My situation right now:

I have a deadzone /phantom touch issue on my G2 and want LG to repair the damn thing. So in order to do that, i need to get back to stock lg android.

When I try to flash 20H I end up without recovery mode which kinda sucks :d . I fixed that by flashing the D80220B Version of the Firmware, but now in download mode it says 'rooted'. If thats a bug, will LG care if I send it to them for a warranty repair? Furthermore, I also seem to not be able to upgrade to the 20H version, even if i use the official tool and download it from LG directly.

EDIT: Ok I finally got it to work. I found another 80210A firmware (forgot to safe the link sry) but it was bigger than the one posted here. That one worked and I could flash it successfully. Now the G2 is unrooted and back to stock incl. the downloadmode showing unrooted as status.
[G2 General] liteon163:
I have a VS980 that I rooted. I installed TWRP via AutoRec and was able to install SlimKat. It was working OK, but I decided to try Paranoid Android. Flashing it put me into a boot loop and now all I want to do is return to stock. I've tried both the tot and kdz methods and have gotten no closer than 49% complete (using tot). I can enter TWRP and I can enter download mode, but neither, it seems, appear to help. This last time I did a full wipe of the phone using TWRP and it still doesn't help. TWRP also claims my device is no longer rooted and wants to install SuperSU. I decline. But download mode identifies my phone as rooted.

I'm out of ideas. Does anyone here have any suggestions? Keep in mind I have all the proper drivers and such.

Thanks.

EDIT: I read further on in the original post and tried the MegaLock and tot method. It seems to have worked, as my LG G2 is now booting up with 11A installed. I can't update from there, but I think that's because I had Verizon switch my phone number to an old device. I suspect once I have my phone number changed back to the LG G2 I will be able to update to the latest version of firmware.
[G2 General] subnoize soulja:
I have the vs980 and I've been trying to flash back to stock using both kdz and tot method with no success with either I've downloaded all the drivers in the op and everything else in the op and even moved the kdz file into the lg flash took folder I think the problem I am having is where it says when to out phone in download more then go to device manager and change the port to 41 but when I go to device manager I dont see anything saying port or com just something saying about Google adb. Device or something like that can someone please help because I've been trying to flash back to stock for days now and Im going crazy!!! And when I try the tot method I always get a message saying phone disconnected from pc retry when phone is connected so Im lost right now and any help would be awesome!!!!
[G2 General] xda-soar:
Subnoize: first you have to make sure your phone is plugged into the pc with the usb cable. Then you will see the port option under device manager. Go to advanced options for your phone under ports and set to COM41. Then unplug your phone from the pc. For the tot method you have to click the start button first, let it initialize and when all the dialogs are done, THEN you plug in your phone in download mode to the pc. The order is important. Then the tot program will see your phone and continue the update. Good luck, I am still bricked but maybe your's will work.
[G2 General] dokap:
I see "READY!!" on com port 41 but plugging my phone in in download (or fastboot) doesn't start the process. Any ideas? I searched the thread but couldn't find anything.
[G2 General] xda-soar:
Dokap, I am not sure man, sorry, it always kicked off at that point for me if I was in download mode.
[G2 General] dokap:
Damn, that sucks. I flashed a file to disable the OTA updates and my phone got stuck in fastboot (this thing http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2477595). I managed to get download mode back up through the directions in that post, but I can't think of any way to unbrick my phone other than using the lgflashtool. I'm able to get into fastboot and download mode (so adb works) but that's it. I thought about trying to flash a custom recovery by using a root tool but he only non-apk root tool I found for the G2 was ioroot and that one comes up with the "daemon started successfully" and then hangs.

I don't have any experience with installing custom recoveries/boot images/most things through adb but I am willing to learn. Any idea what I can do to get this thing running again?

Edit:

Ok I figured out that the device isn't recognized by my computer in download mode but it is in fastboot. That's probably why it's not working. Now it looks like the problem is that I have the blue circles download mode (which is not really download mode) =/

Final edit:

I found a fix for the blue circles in this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2582142) but I don't have a linux computer available right now. If anyone could tell me how to do this in Windows that would be awesome!
[G2 General] subnoize soulja:
I did plug my phone into pc and while in download mode under device manager I dont see the port option anywhere but when I plug my phone into the pc in regular mode then I see the com and port and was able to switch it to 41 but not when im in download mode so maybe thats the way Im supposed to do it?? But I'll play with it more here in a little while plus I redownloaded the kdz file I think the first one wasnt the right size but I'll report back if i succeed!!
[G2 General] xda-soar:
Yes you have to be in download mode. In download mode I see blue circles and then the dimmed screen with the USB icon that says don't unplug your phone during firmware update.

This is the next thing I am going to try:

[G2 General] hyelton:
What do you mean won't download properly ?? The file is fine... Make sure your using a download manager. Also there's no updated tot. Just download the tot from the OP and then OTA update it.
[G2 General] joeynox:
i flashed the tot but when i go to software update it tries to download the ota 721 mb update but actually downloads 726mb and just sits there and hangs. i factory reset 5 times because it does it every time.

[G2 General] hyelton:
It shouldn't matter. You can upgrade one after another when it comes to OTA. You can flash the oldest version and be able to update it.
[G2 General] joeynox:
i know but once i flash the V10o it updates 2 times to D80010q and then i cant go any further . thats why if there was a fully up to date file i could bypass all of this but i dont this its available

D80220E Vodafone UK Stock firmware?

Hi there

I have just bought the LG G2 from Vodafone store (in the UK). Before I begin flashing my drive I was on the hunt for the Vodafone Stock Firmware just in case of warranty purposes.

The first post doesn't seem to have a link for the UK Vodafone variant so I searched the web and came across the 'D80220E' link from what looks like LG:

httx://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW567406432109876543213/D80220E_00.kdz

Can anyone confirm if this is the UK Vodafone Stock firmware please? or inform me of a way I can check myself? Thank you.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Depends where you hot the file and what your file storage is on your phone. There's no way to tell by that link... Use the IMEI tool or you can use UK open firmwares

[G2 General] k2thejx5:
Yea same here man..a lot of at&t users are having this issue. Can't figure out why either..
[G2 General] r1nstang:
well crap. guess Ill cancel the sale and just wait for AT&t to release a working image.

Anyidea about a button combo to get into recovery? stock or anything. I know i did a button combo that got me to a "factory master reset" menu one day and I cant remember how to get back to it. but i think that was before I flashed TWRP
[G2 General] k2thejx5:
It should be volume down and power. See i can't even get into anything but download mode so its even worse for me lol
[G2 General] r1nstang:
I just realized something. And I dont know if I'm just overthinking this or what. But all the "how-to's" i've read about getting the LG G2 AT&T into download mode has mentioned Vol Down and plug into the computer. But in order for me to get my AT&T into download mode I have to use Volumn up...which is the way the Verizon how-tos work.
[G2 General] fma965:
volume down + power = recovery / factory reset

volume up + power = download mode
[G2 General] r1nstang:
I DID IT!!!!!!

Hold power and volume down. the second you see the LG logo let go of POWER then immediately press it again. timing seems like it needs to be perfect. I got the screen for "master factory date reset" confirm, confirm then it booted into TWRP I wiped data/cache 2 times and rebooted and it worked perfect.

give that a shot man. Good luck to you!!

[G2 General] k2thejx5:
I appreciate the video but again i do everything it says on the video, and i still get the "download fail model different"
[G2 General] hyelton:
That's because your build prop needs to read the model your wanting to flash
[G2 General] k2thejx5:
How can i change the build prop to match it?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Does your phone turn on it at all? That's the only way. If not you will need to flash it with whatever was on it before that matches the exact model then change the build prop
[G2 General] k2thejx5:
Nope not at all. It boots up and it says "security error". I can boot into download mode and just now my girlfriend got it to do the factory reset but nothing happens still security error.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Then you will need to flash the software that was on it before. Like if it had a D802 firmware it needs to be an D802. Or same if it was an D801
[G2 General] k2thejx5:
So use the flash tool to flash whatever carbon rom was made for? That was the rom i flashed to my phone
[G2 General] k2thejx5:
Alright ill start downloading and hoping for the best. Do you by chance know what carbon rom was specifically made for? I figured it was d802. SO right now i a downloading the kdz for that.

Touch Screen responding badly after flashing KDZ file....!!

Hi..

I am from India...I bought an LG G2 from ebay last week. It was having D80220B firmware with 4.4.2 kitkat. But I am not sure about the country from which it was imported. I tried rooting it using one of the method mentioned here. Rooting went fine. But, there were some errors. I tried Towelroot and rooting was done perfectly. I tried some root apps to verify root access. It was fine. When I tried to install CWM, cmd showed nothing special. ADB was working fine. I thought CWM was flashed and I restarted the phone..But, I was not able to go to CWM. Wen going to recovery, the phone boots to fastboot. Then I searched some threads here and decided to go back to stock. I downloaded D80220B open Europe version and flashed it. This is where the real problem started. Flashing went fine and the phone booted up. But wen the language selection screen came, the touch screen was responding vigoously. Wrong selections were made and I was not able to set up the phone.. I was able to switch it off some way. So, i went back to download mode and Installed an indian D80220B file. But the issue was still there. I tried resetting the phone. But no changes. I dont know what to do now. In between, I chose CDMA & DIAG respectively in LG Flastool. Dont know whether it is right or not..

I am desperately looking for a solution. Those who have faced it or know the solution, Please help me to solve it...

Thanx in advance...

where to download D80020y for at&t LG G2

Hi,

I hope I am in the right thread,

After unrooting my phone with the procedure mentioned above I am not unrooted with version D80010o.

And I can't update through the air (through software update feature on the phone) as it said I am not registered \ my software is up to date.

I contacted LG support and they said I can not update as I am not in At&t network. (I have an At&t D800 but not using it USA)

Therefore, can someone advice where I can get the TOT file for D80020y so i can flash it on my phone ?

Or some other method to get the update ?

I must have the phone unrooted as I a need to give it to warranty service.

Thanks a lot
[G2 General] hyelton:
With LG you can't OTA unless your carrier is registered with that model sadly. You can try taking your sim out, resetting and try doing it over WiFi. But there's no updated tot for the D800 right now.
[G2 General] BrandonHammer:
Not working.

I've followed the tut exactly including moving the .tot and .dll files into the flashtool folder. I set it up manually, and then click the start button, after that it says ready on com41 but the phone shows no firmware install progress.
[G2 General] Shaolin007:
Bro never flash Germany Vodafone.or Europe on Lg G2 D802...evn i m indian user so dont worry....jus by chance go in setting and enable usb debugging.

U can flash any of the roms at any time like 10C is jellybean and 20A is kitkat without knock code and 20B is with knock code and kitkat.

If u want to have complete unroot u hav no option but to flash jb first using cse flash or do a factory reset instead then takee ota of kitkat and knock code...by thos means u go complete unrooted.

By jus flashng kitkat kdz file u wont b able to get complete unroot it would be partial one.

Just a rehash of the instructions for AT&T, Verizon, and some others

I had a hard time getting this to work until I saw the YouTube video for some missing pieces. Like another poster said, check the video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJtcPNklrfw

Just a rehash of the original instructions with some of my added notes:

AT&T & Sprint Verizon & The Few International TOTs. Also T-Mobile Can be Flashed back this way if you are having issues!

DO NOT PLUGIN YOUR PHONE TO THE COMPUTER YET.

1. Install the LG drivers.

2. Install LGFlashTools (but don't run it)

3. Copy MegaLock.dll to C:\LG\LGFlashTool, This may be a hidden folder so enable "hidden folders". Replace the old MegaLock.dll file if you have already installed LG Flash Tool on your computer.

4. Extract the TOT file from the firmware ZIP

5. Launch LG Flash Tool. You will need admin privileges. You might see a window with Korean language, just click on OK.

6. Check the Manual Mode check box at the top of the LG Flash tool window.

7. Click the DLL box and choose the dll file downloaded for you phone model.

8. Click the S/W box and select the firmware file with the .tot extension.(the 2+ gb firmware file inside the zip)

9. Click OK.

10. Click the Yellow arrow to start the process. After a bit, the Flash tool is waiting for a phone to be connected. At this point you will see some CRC checks and at the end the Port 1 will say READY.

NOTE: To this point your phone needs to be unplugged. When you connect the phone the update will be triggered, but it did not work for me if the phone is already connected.

11. Boot your LG G2 into Download Mode. To do this, shutdown the phone, connect the USB cable and then press and hold the Volume Up key while you press the power button to turn on the phone.

12. Open the Windows Device manager. Open the Ports group, select the LGE USB Serial port, right click and select properties.

13. Click on the port settings tab, then click the advanced button, and change the COM port number to COM 41. Close down the Device Manager windows.

At this point you will see text scrolling in the box for Port 1 (below where it said READY) once the software detects the phone. Like the original post said, ignore the errors.

Hope this helps, and many thanks to all those involved with getting this to work, the tutorial, and all the help given in the forum!!!!!!
