Need help

I have twice ran through your program to flash stock back to my Sprint LG G2 and both times have been stopped by an error that says, "kdz file not exist!". Please advise on how to rectify this issue.

I posted this elsewhere if it helps...

H i all Let me start by apologizing as I'm sure I'm doing something here that I'm not supposed too. Although I am new to XDA, until recently I didn't know I was such a tech virgin.. I have spent off and on months trying to figure out why my LG G2 has prematurely entered mechanical menopause. I have read scores of articles, tried numerous "fixes", various roots etc, but I can't get it right because I can't make out what's wrong. About the phone: Sprint Lg G2 LS980 ZVE running Android 4.4.2. I rooted my phone not long after I got it, which was back before the latest updates. Unfortunately I lost my phone for several months and when I got it back it had of course been updated. When installing a root checker the phone says Not Rooted, when it's in download mode or when I tried to use Stumproot it says I'm already Rooted. Upon opening SuperSU I get this warning, "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgraded to Android 4.3 you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device." Upon opening BusyBox I get this message, "There was a problem opening a shell with root access. This is either being caused by Superuser/SuperSU or by a device that is improperly rooted. Try removing permissions, uninstalling and then reinstalling this application, blah blah blah, but of course SuperSU acts as previously mentioned when opened. I don't know what to do besides potentially flash stock but I really don't want to do that. I am a stubborn, learn by doing kind of techie but after months of learning everything but the answer, I raise the white flag. Please someone tell me there is an easy/obvious answer that I missed as I'd rather be a moron with an ignorant miss, than a stubborn ass with time consuming fixes in my immediate future.

Thank you, Jo
[G2 General] hyelton:
Well If your getting the error kdz file does not exist where there is your issue... There's two methods in the OP for flashing back to stock. One I'd kdz and the other is tot. You have the Sprint G2 you should be using the tot method and tot flashtool

When doing things like this make sure you read the entire OP first.
[G2 General] damnation333:
Hey,

I am on CloudyFlex 2.7 and want to go back to 22OH.

Went to Download mode, FlashTool, add the KDZ, hit normal, hit start. Nothing happens.

Any clue where I am going wrong? (my phone when I am in recovery connects perfectly fine via USB and I have access to the files. So doubt it is anything with the drivers)

Thanks
[G2 General] hyelton:
First of all what you said about the drivers, keep it mind download mode uses a completly different thing that recovery, if on windows 7 or 8 you can plug up your phone without installing drivers and windows will do its work... But NOT for download mode so make sure your installing the correct drivers..

Also try another USB port? Another cable? Put the kdz file in the same folder as flashtool?
[G2 General] noduff:
And make sure you are using a rear/dedicated USB port. This was exactly the issue I was having before. If the device has never been plugged in it sometimes takes a while for it to actually load the COM driver (my system hangs forever on the modem driver before it).

Edit: That wasn't meant for you Hyelton lol. I'm not trying to tell you what to do ?

And FYI your how-to saved my bacon once again from a bad flash!
[G2 General] damnation333:
thanks buddy,

got it working. Reinstalled the drivers and it worked. :)
[G2 General] hyelton:
Awesome :)
[G2 General] dogans:
Hi!

first off, thanks for the guide.

I have an EU d802 32gb and want to unroot it.

I have used LGMobile Support tool and flashed it back to stock from there.

Still said Rooted in download mode.

Then I used this method and flashed the 20b kdz file. It went well and then I did a factory reset. Still says rooted.

I thinking about trying the tot method but cant seem to find the correct tot file for my phone.

Anyone have suggestions ?

Thanks!
[G2 General] Nuuq:
Whenever I try to do this, from FlashTool, I get 'Device disconnected' message at 60%. Anyone have this issue?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Tot or kdz? Like I've said a 1,000 times please explain more.. I'm assuming kdz. Phone in download mode? Put the kdz in the same folder as the flashtool?
[G2 General] Nuuq:
Did all that. All is in the right place (well something isn't, apparently)...

But can't get it to work.

Will get the phone again in morning, and will try again, and if I can't make it work, I'll post again with details.

Cheers
[G2 General] hyelton:
Try again and update :)

help me

i have tried updating my lg g2 d802 with kdz flasher

but always the update stucks at 2%

and gives error "update stopped due to an error"

plzzz help me

thanx in advance
[G2 General] hyelton:
Phone in download mode??

Download kdz with download manager?

Put kdz file in same folder as flashtool?
[G2 General] Beeve:
Me too. Stuck at 60% kdz

I too am getting this error. It actually pops up at 30%, but will continue loading until 60% and then is stuck. I have a VS980.

Should the kdz method utilize the Port (Com LPT) driver like the tot method? I am not able to get my phone to load this driver and am wondering if this is my issue, as I cannot get either method to work. I have been trying to return my phone to stock for some time now and can't get it done. I have lost my 3G and LTE radio/data capability and have been told to go back to stock and start over.

Please help. I have a beautiful dumb-phone.
[G2 General] ThatKidDrew:
For me the kdz method didn't work (I have Vs980) so try the tot method. Worked like a charm for me

ROM: ? AICP 5.0.2

KRNL: ? Stock

RCVRY: ? TWRP 2.8.3.1

PHONE:? VS980
[G2 General] Beeve:
Neither works

I can't get either one to work. I think it stems from the driver issue I'm having. I can't get my phone to show up as a serial port while in download mode. I get ADB drivers all day. I can get it to show up as a serial port from recovery (TWRP) when i mount it with MTP enabled, but not from download mode. I've tried on PC and laptop. I am racking my brain, driving myself crazy.
[G2 General] huzaifamalik47:
help me update stuck at 2%

yes phone is in download mode

tried everything

nothing works

what should i do
[G2 General] hyelton:
Restart PC?
[G2 General] Goneg:
Nothing is working

Hello! im in need of some help. The problem or the problems im having is.

* Can't flash using LG Flash Tool 2014 following the steps but im still stuck at 2 % sometimes 4 % sometimes it dosent even go that far.

* Tried LG FlashTool with no luck it keeps rebooting to TWRP recovery.

* Can't use sideload in recovery because it says "can not read"

* Can't push a flasable zip becasuse it says "protocal fail"

Have been following the steps of it all but it dosen't work so im really desperate.

Thanks in advance!
[G2 General] hyelton:
Is your phone in download mode?

You can't flash these with twrp... That's why it won't work that way.
[G2 General] Goneg:
Yes im in dowload mode when trying to get the stock on my phone.

I know I can't flash these files with twrp, I was trying to get a flashable stock zip to work that somebody made on the LG G2 forum.
[G2 General] sk337sk337:
I'm using an ATT e980 and have flashed the correct files but when it boots there is no touch? I'm using the stock files from V10p from your server. I got the kitkat update from AT&T this morning and the same thing happened. Am I doing something wrong?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Have you performed a reset? And are you sure your flashing the E980 AT&T firmware?

Also your posting in the wrong thread.
[G2 General] sk337sk337:
100% positive on the firmware.

http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+Optimus+G+Pro/Stock/AT&T/

Yes, I've reset the phone. When it did the update it killed the touch so I'm trying to flash back. It did this last week too but I forgot to root and disable the OTA. There's a thread in the G Pro section and it links to here.

Also, the last time I updated it got to 95% then failed? It just showed "reboot sleep timer 100s"
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yeah I'm the creater of that guide too I haven't updated the OP so I direct people here for the guide, but you should still post anything related to it in that thread.

I have no clue of that issue only time I've seen that is when someone flashes a wrong firmware.

Have you tried flashing it once more?
[G2 General] Tinchoska:
Hi.guys I am having a big problem,can't go through 2% any idea? I have a d806 fully stock with ok.... official ok open Argentina,... please help
[G2 General] u25150:
Sometime turn off anti virus or change the computer might help[emoji16]
[G2 General] Tinchoska:
Anti virus always goes off when it's flashing time

.... it was on recovery, didn't know it had to be on download mode..... LOL joke, yes of course it was on download mode.... I really don't know what's going on....
[G2 General] huzaifamalik47:

[G2 General] Devil216:
hi

m at same problem with my lg g2 .. please guide .. will be very thankfull .
[G2 General] hyelton:
Are you putting the kdz in the same folder as flashtool? Did you download the kdz using a download manager?? Disable antivirus.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Well you'll never bealive how many people are NOT in download mode, several times a day its "oh I forgot" lol. But use a download manager to download the kdz?
[G2 General] Tinchoska:
I've got this one since the first time. Its the one I always used and the one from I made a flashback zip....
[G2 General] FireBird_89:
Hi everyone, thanks for the tutorial - I'm having an issue i've seen mentioned several times in the thread:

it starts to install the software - gets to 2% - then says there was an error.

my device is the d803 (telus) - i've downloaded the kdz several different times with a download manager.

Any help is appreciated.
[G2 General] Tinchoska:
OK.... So, it's like when flashtool just goes offline.... It's not just one or three users problems....
[G2 General] hyelton:
Flash tool doesn't go offline like it used too, its all offline. Remember there are a ton of viewers, and a ton of people using this there's always errors, just yesterday a few people with the G2 had no issue and same for the G pro and G3.
[G2 General] hyelton:
So the phone is in download mode correct? Does it show the LG com port under device manager under ports? When in download mode? Or do you see any drivers that have a yellow mark beside them? If so that's a driver issue.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Did you ever check the drivers under device manager to make sure there's not a yellow mark beside them? To make sure there installed?
[G2 General] FireBird_89:
yes the phone is in download mode

in device manager under com ports i see: "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM5)"

- i did not switch it to com41 because i read that wasn't necessary when using kdz method

- there is not a yellow mark next to any of the devices

I just uninstalled everything and started from the beginning but still failed at 2% - after starting again the lg upgrade tool that launches after the LGFLASHTOOL2014 is all in a language that can not be decoded on my computer (nothing but squares)

i will continue to try anything you suggest

additional info:

When i plug in the D803 the installing drivers dialog pops up - USB Composite Device and LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM5) have a check mark and say ready to use - LGE AndroidNet USB Modem says failed
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yeah the flashtool is supposed to be like that. Just make sure your clicking the right things, try putting the kdz in the same folder as flashtool?
[G2 General] FireBird_89:
I moved the kdz in to the same folder as the flashtool.

Tried again (did not restart computer or anything - just tried again)

This time the second program that launches (the lg fw upgrade program) was in english rather than korean?'

also - as i said before When i plug in the D803 the installing drivers dialog pops up - USB Composite Device and LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM5) have a check mark and say ready to use - LGE AndroidNet USB Modem says failed
[G2 General] hyelton:
There we go. Seems to be a driver issue then. Uninstall your drivers I'm gonna post a link for you to download and try.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Give this driver a try.

http://oceanhost.eu/w20tz92xt20n/LGUnitedMobileDriver_S51MAN313AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.13.2.exe.htm
[G2 General] Tinchoska:
You're the man
[G2 General] hyelton:
DId that work??
[G2 General] FireBird_89:
uninstalled everything and started again using this driver - same issue for me.

The install of the driver goes fine then when I connect the lg G2 LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port and USB Composite device say ready to use but LGE AndroidNet USB Modem says Installing driver software for a long time.

When it moves on to the next screen it says LGE AndroidNet USB Modem - failed ---- the others still have the check saying ready to use.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Restart computer after installing new drivers? Find the Check online for drivers button sometimes that can work as well.
[G2 General] FireBird_89:
uninstalled all - rebooted - installed the newest drivers you linked to - rebooted - plugged in g2, same 2 parts of the drivers appear to be working and the same one doesn't work.

it's odd - after installing the drivers, i plug in the phone and the second install screen pops up and these two always works and says ready to use:

lg G2 LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port

USB Composite device

however this one does not - and will eventually say failed:

LGE AndroidNet USB Modem (though sometimes it calls it CDC serial instead for some reason???)

tried turning on the check windows update for drivers option after it fails - then reboot and try again but it still fails after a long time.

what's next boss?
[G2 General] u25150:
Usb debug: ok

Conect as: charger or mtp done

Driver: installed

????

Maybe change the rom first than use this flashtool :fingercross
[G2 General] FireBird_89:
hey noduff - since i saw you were able to get this back to stock to work on your telus d803, were there any driver issues you had when trying this process? anything unique you had to do? whenever i try it goes up to 2% of the install then errors out. your input would be greatly appreciated!
[G2 General] hyelton:
Your most likely getting 2% due to that missing driver. Do you know how to use tramviewer. Is there any possible way you can try another computer?
[G2 General] FireBird_89:
i know of Teamviewer if that is what you mean? not sure about tramviewer
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yeah Teamviewer sent that from my phone haha, Any way possible to test this on another PC?
[G2 General] FireBird_89:
I already started testing on the second computer - it seems to install driver with no warnings or notifications - but now we get to a popup that says "LGMobile ??? S/W Upgrade? ??????????"

???? ??? ???????.

?? ? ?? ????? ????.

From what i gather on this thread - this is where it says connection to server failed - try again in a moment (and the only option is ?? which i assume is OK).

This thread has said that at this point you can leave it running if the phone has switched to COMX on the screen - but mine has not - it still says Firmware update at the top, the status bar is at 0%.

currently on the windows 8 machine, usb cable plugged in to the back, newest drivers you posted.

If i try to run the lg mobile support tool again it is displayed in english the second time (squares the first time - korean?)
[G2 General] hyelton:
Sometimes its English and some korean that shouldn't matter that doesn't have anything to do with the flashing process.

If you want me to try for you via team viewer (I usually don't do this) and pm me your teamviewer I'd and pass and I'll do my best.
[G2 General] FireBird_89:
Thanks to everyone in this forum for the input!

Was able to get the D803 (TELUS) to work by using the Rogers D803R10C_00.kdz

some notes:

- put LG Flash tool 2014 folder in to the c:/ directory

- installed the drivers from the original post

- unplugged my wifi adapter from computer (not connected to internet anymore)

- put in to download mode and attach to computer (was a windows 8.1 system - used rear USB ports)

- put the "Rogers D803R10C_00.kdz" file in to c:/LG Flash Tool 2014 folder (alongside the lg flash tool application)

- open lg flash tool

SELECT TYPE: CDMA

PHONE MODE: DIAG

RESET TIME 33000

SELECT KDZ File (Rogers D803R10C_00.kdz)

CSE FLASH (new window pops up)

START (another window pops up)

OK (the LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL opens up and starts)

it got past the 2%, kept going, then up to about 87% or so before it stopped and had an error message saying try again (but by this point the phone had already booted up)

unplugged the phone from the computer and set up.

(the phone is originally a telus phone, though i had it unlocked and was using it on rogers. other rogers kdz files were not working, neither were the bell or telus ones. - the IMEI is still intact, and so is the previous unlock code - didn't need to unlock again)

I hope that helps some people out!

Thanks again to all of XDA and to hyelton for doing his best to help me out!!!

I can now return this phone to my brother. Cheers!
[G2 General] hyelton:
I think all in the end was for some reason it wasn't wanting to take the telus kdz file.

Yeah the flash almost always fails but as long as its 85% its fine. The flashtool likes to count rebooting in with part of the flash.
[G2 General] schlager P.:
great to see it's finally solved, and props to hyelton for even wanting to use "tramviewer" to solve it

[G2 General] mandarmane:
iam on indian d802 32gb variant i just want to ask whether i need to be online while flashing the kdz file as there is an offline method too also should i enter any phone information like imei,model name etc in the read phone information box
[G2 General] schlager P.:
for the first, dunno but unlikely

2nd:READ THE OP FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD!
[G2 General] Tinchoska:
Isn't it the same to flash, if you have modded recovery install, to flash a flashable KDZ.zip?
[G2 General] huzaifamalik47:
help me

i tried ur method but got stuck at 20%

now there is no download mode no recovery mode

when i turn on the mobile there is lg logo then screen goes black

plz help me

thanx in advance
[G2 General] hyelton:
No.. Kdzs are not flashable.
[G2 General] hyelton:
20% means it never touched the phone.... Put your phone into download mode by rebooting your phone, you can't put your phone into download mode while on the LG logo etc..
[G2 General] Tinchoska:
That's why I put a flashable KDZ.zip (turning a KDZ into a flashable zip)

How to repair IMEI, plz help me.

..... Perform a factory reset several times 3 to 6 times.

Do you have a efs backup? Restore it

It's that work?? Let me try :)

I've tried this step but still null imei and service disable. cannot use mobile data network.
[G2 General] hyelton:
So you performed a reset several times? Going to settings, privacy, and then factory reset? Correct???

If not then you might had flashed a wrong model number to your phone. Make sure your flashing a correct file and reflash. If still nothing you might be out of luck :(

[G2 General] hyelton:
So your in download mode? Tot or kdz sounds like kdz. Why not try tot since you have an D801?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Oh I thought you had the verizon version like the other person did. Your issue is different. There is no tot file for that... Just follow the guide in the OP and flash the correct kdz
[G2 General] hyelton:
Try flashing the verizon kdz file in the same method you flashed the European kdz file that should return you back to stock.
[G2 General] Neuj73:
Hi again Hyelton,

Thanks for answering ;)

I tried the normal method with .KDZ files, i took the f320l original files and i have this errror message the others have while trying

-Page_Error şÎşĐŔÔ´Ď´Ů

-ż©±â´Â Retry şÎşĐŔÔ´Ď´Ů) .

I tried with all versions of the rom, not one works.

I have an update.zip with a f320l version rom modified with f820, but i cannot flash it, because i cannot enter recovery mode anymore.

I also have a cwm backup on my pc, but the same, i cannot access it.
[G2 General] elseif:
I've tried that method as well. The kdz file method is the one you explain at the beginning of your guide. With that method I reach 49% complete with the flashing (as per what i see on my phone), then it suddenly disconnects and the process just stops. When this happened i reboot back into download mode and the process would not complete.

then try to flash the kdz again, it should work.
