There’s no custom Roms here. Everything here is from LG. You would flash a stock based rom like a debloated rom etc that’s say based on your model via TWRP. It’s not a must but it’s just to stop any issues from happening like model detection issues.
[G2 General] evasi0n:
1. Why should I do that before going back to stock?

2. Where can I find such ROM?

3. So I need to first flash to that ROM, then use the TOT to stock and then move to Lollipop?
[G2 General] hyelton:
1. I said it in my previous posts :p

2. Just look for stock debloated D802 etc

3. You don’t have to flash that. I’m just saying it’s best to not have a custom rom that has many changes in it can sometimes cause issues when flashing back to stock.

You can directly flash lollipop you don’t have to flash an older version first.
[G2 General] evasi0n:
1. Great! Where can I find stock Lollipop TOT file for d802 32GB?

I don't see it in your server (there are kdz files for d802. By the way what is the difference in the versions V30a or b or c? And what country should I choose - if I can't use TOT? Where I bought the phone or where I use it? Because the latter doesn't exist there)

2. Is the baseband version going to be a problem? I see now in the cloudy thread that it required KK baseband, which I probably flashes.
[G2 General] hyelton:
You’ll flash lollipop using a kdz. I’d doubt that there is even a tot for lollipop but they’re may be somewhere out there. A, B,C is just another update. Meaning 30C is newer than 30A. Country is entirely up to you. What matters is you flash the correct model and storage size.

2. Sorry no clue on basebands or using the KK baseband for Roms I haven’t messed with a G2 in awhile. That should affect going back to stock though.
[G2 General] VladAndreMano:
I have to ask, the lgkdz.com link does not have any KDZ's and on the other link i can't find an international D802 KDZ, the closest thing that I found to my region is a Germany KDZ, should I flash that one?

OP: Please help me unbrick my T-Mobile LG-G2 801BK

Happy Holidays OP and Members;

I used to play around a lot with my LG G2 (T-Mobile 801BK) by flashing different roms until about half year ago, when I accidentally deleted ALL partitions using the Miscrosoft DOS Diskpart utility, consequently I REALLY bricked it.

Now, nothing happends when plugging my LG G2 to my computer via USB cable, there is no unrecognized USB devices, just nothing. So I guess my situation is different from most posters here who are able to connect their phones to their computers.

Any suggestions to unbrick my LG G2 will be highly appreciated.

John
[G2 General] hyelton:
Lgkdz only redirected to storagecow. I let that site drop over a year or so ago. I guess I forgot to remove it from the OP? Sorry about that.

There’s no specific international D802, like to me a D802 Germany firmware would be an international firmware. The most generic would be a Europe or open Europe firmware. And yes as long as you have a D802 and flash the correct size 16GB/32GB
[G2 General] hyelton:
You would first need to get into download mode before you can do anything. You may need to short some pins on the motherboard and you might get somewhere. But honestly it might be easier to just get another G2 or replace the board.
[G2 General] jllmoe:
Thank you so much for your quick response. Do you mean shorting the up and down volume buttons, or other pins?

I have never tried to unassemble my G2. Does it have a memory card that I can take out to copy some of the base img's onto it, then put it back into the G2? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Thx again!
[G2 General] hyelton:
It would be shorting pins on the motherboard, there’s a few threads on it somewhere here. Not sure as I’ve never had to do it. But chances are slim for the device.

There’s a chip on the motherboard but you would need to solder it off and solder on a new one. But if in that case a phone store would just replace the motherboard as an example.
[G2 General] jllmoe:
Thx again!

I listen to you and will stop wasting time on it.

[G2 General] AnyOldName3:
Hello,

I'm having some issues when trying to downgrade my LG G2 from 5.[something] to 4.4.2.

Current status:

When the phone has its power button pressed or gets a USB cable plugged in, it displays the LG logo and then the screen goes black, but the backlight remains on. Removing the battery and unplugging it will make the backlight turn off again.

Plugging it into my PC makes a lot of 'you need to format the disk in drive [whatever]' messages, but one of the drives presented is a FAT-formatted volume containing a directory called 'image' which in turn contains a large collection of files. This is similar to this post and this post.

The flash tool cannot detect the phone anymore.

If I try and do a factory reset by holding power and volume down and releasing and repressing the power button once the LG logo appears, the phone just switches between a black screen and the LG logo and doesn't bring up the expected menu.

How I got to this point:

A few months ago I had to downgrade my G2 from whatever LG PC Suite had upgraded it to (5.[something]) so that I could restore a backup I'd made with LG PC Suite (which won't let you restore backups to anything above 5.0). I used the KMZ method from the first post in the thread and it worked on the second or third attempt. After that, I restored the backup and the phone worked fine...

Until today. I decided to upgrade the phone back to Android 5 and did so via LG PC Suite. When the upgrade was complete and the phone rebooted, though, it gave an error message about UIDs not matching and then became incapable of running any app for more than a couple of seconds without it crashing, including built-in things like settings. As well as that, the majority of apps were gone. I rebooted the phone again in case that helped, and it did not. I decided to roll back to the working state I'd had earlier in the day by putting the same firmware KMZ on as I'd done previously.

When running LGFlashTool2014, it didn't manage to complete the reimaging before erroring out and telling me to remove the battery and click retry. I couldn't be bothered disassembling the phone, so I just pressed retry with the battery still in, and for the first few attempts it managed to get part way through the process before emitting the same error message. After a few attempts, though, it started giving that error message immediately, so I followed the instructions and removed the battery from the phone and plugged it back in. That made it more broken and got me into the situation I'm in now.

Does anyone know how I should attempt to fix this? If there's something that allows me to resolve this without getting a replacement phone or motherboard, I'd be happier. If it helps, there are other G2s in my household which might be useable to kickstart the broken one back to life if such a thing is possible.

Urgent Help Needed

I had previously flashed the TMO 30B ROM for my VS980. I tried to install LPExtreme for VS980 and it failed and I lost Recovery and ROM. I am able to get to DL mode. I tried KDZ and it kept on failing at 2%. I tried TOT and it gave me error,

Model : F350K

DLL : VS980

SWV : LGD801AT-00-30B-TMO

SWOV : LGD801AT-00-V30B-TMO

Device Model is Different

I want to go back to VS980. Can you please guide.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Your getting that error because you’ve flashed wrong model firmware/Roms. Those different models have different hardware than your VS980.

Try flashing with the kdz method as it’s gonna be your easiest way as tot is gonna keep thinking you don’t have a VS980. Make sure your using a usb 2.0 only port. And you freshly put it into download mode each attempt.
[G2 General] phrozenwire:
So I had a working 30B ROM on the VS980 and it was from the VZW forum page. It was made / modified for the VS980 but I guess it changed a lot of parameters on the phone. The default LG TOOL does not go beyond 2% after extracting software. I am using 39A KDZ in the tool. The only success was with the LGDMPST Tool where it gives me the wrong model error. LGUP TOOL fails at 49% with ITD DOWNLOAD error.

Guys, I have cm13 and I want to flash this stock trying to remove the screen problem that afflict lg g2.

Do I just need to wipe cache, dalvik, data than flash the stock zip through recovery?
[G2 General] [] AL []:
Xda is a place to learn about Android and not just a place to run to in order to get every questions answered without doing some research first. I pointed you to this thread and I expect that the first thing you would do is read the OP (fitst post). Do this and if it is still not clear to you what the process is, then come back and inquire more. Stock ROMs are NOT custom roms and cannot be installed through custom recovery.

Sorry to be blunt in my reply, but that is the deal on Xda...

Edit: the method you want to try is actually on the second post of the thread

Phone shuts off 15% into flashing

Every time I try to flash a TOT to my D800, it gets to around 15% and the phone shuts off, then goes to black screen/Qualcomm 9006 status. I then use SRK Tool to unbrick and try flashing again, but nothing changes. Same result every time. Have tried with 2 different versions of LGFlashTool, and LGUP. Have repeated this process probably 100 times now with each of the three D800 TOTs provided in the OP. (How to know which one to use BTW?) It seems nothing will work. Am I holding a paperweight?

P.S. I previously flashed LineageOS 14.1 over stock 5.0.2 using TWRP. That seemed to work, but then every time I tried to flash GApps the phone would suddenly reboot. It got stuck on the LineageOS boot animation/wouldn't boot. Did I mess something up there? Partitions or something? Hardware failure? Maybe I'm missing a step somewhere i.e. bootloader, firmware etc.. It seems like the flash tools are working fine but the phone just won't accept the flash... Is there a way to fix this so that a flash will complete? I'm just trying to get a working phone back now.

Any help massively appreciated!

First of all I know this is 5 years old, but THANK YOU for this. My boys wanted to play Pokémon Go and I wasn’t about to get them a newer/expensive phone to play on. The LG G2 we got was rooted at some point and I needed to go back to stock to get Pokémon to play nicely with us.

The LG Flash Tool failed, but the TOT method worked GREAT for us!

One small issue, as the TOT takes us back to stock and stock is now 5 years old... When I try to update the software: settings>system updates>check for new system updates, it fails (“software download was unsuccessful”).

Any suggestions for how to fix this? Or are we stuck with Android 4.4?

Also, to the original poster, can you confirm that the donation link in your profile is still accurate? You saved us a few bucks by not having to get a different phone, and we would like to say thanks.
[G2 General] ST Dog:
Get a KDZ or TOT of the LP release.

As for PG, alternate root methods can be used and allow newer OS, like LNOS 14.1 or crDroid 3.8.

How can i flash the ls980 firmware file on the phone which actually is ls980 but force flashed with d802? Please help me
[G2 General] hyelton:
Return it... most likely a phone put together with binned parts. Why are you wanting to flash ls980 firmware? Your attempting to use it on sprint? That’s the only reason... if you flash LS980 firmware and get it working the phone will ONLY work on sprint.

Actually My phone back side specially main board is heat up and also battery drain issue i think this the reason that someone forced to flash d802 firmware.now im looking for fix both issues.

No. The reason someone flash the D802 firmware is so it will work on other carriers.

If you flash the LS firmware the phone will be locked and will only work on Sprint in the USA

[G2 General] hyelton:
You cannot “brick” a phone with this tool if you followed directions.

It is mentioned several times.. “could not connect to server” is NORMAL it’s SUPPOSED to say that. You don’t click anything just drag the window over and you’d see that it was actually flashing. (Assuming you where not trying to downgrade) you may have to flash a newer firmware if you attempted downgrading.

Sorry for being rude. I followed the instructions again but same problem.

Then I tried this tool on another PC and it worked fine. Lg G2 Vs980 is back to life. Thanks :o

Install the file with the DLL name in them first and then LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3 Then copy the folder "common" to C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model (this should resolve unknown error)

Hi,

Currently flashed back to stock but getting no signal with any sim?

Is there a fix?

Cheers
[G2 General] hyelton:
Depends.

If you flashed wrong model firmware you most likely lost your EFS. and without a backup only fix is motherboard replacement.

If you have a “D802” you might not actually have a D802
[G2 General] w1ll1m:
Hmmm, the file i used was 'UK 16GB D80230b_00.kdz' which was for the D802. I couldn't have flashed a wrong model firmware.
[G2 General] hyelton:
But do you have an D802 that is the question. Did you buy your phone new direct from LG or used or refurbished? Used G2s are almost always sold as wrong models or tampered with
[G2 General] w1ll1m:
Ah, that i didnt know.

This was sent as a replacement device from the insurance company. I have run Lineage, specifically the D802 version, for a number of years.

It definitely is a D802

Thanks God I don't need to mess with the board!

My problem was that I tried this ROM LineageOS 17.1 with latest version of TWRP Blastgator. Everything was running fine until I flashed Magisk and installed some Mods, then the device rebooted and I get stuck at logo!

No System and no Recovery access, only Download mode! :crying:

This time I realized that my device was forever bricked, my last hope was to short the capacitors but I tried all ways to back to Stock because in Downlaod Mode my device was recognized by Windows.

I tried this in Windows 10 x64 but no success, then I formatted an old HD with Windows 7 x64 to try again!

Old Flash Tool get me stuck at 2% or 4%... no success in both system with all LG drivers available... NO SUCCESS!
