D803 problems

Is there an issue flashing back to the stock D803 firmware if we have a D802 currently loaded? Using the Telus 4.2 file it loads to 49% and if I try the 4.4 file it won't even boot to downloader mode. Someone has suggested to wipe everything via TWRP and trying again but I would like more info prior to plunging off that cliff. (See log files for full error)

So I have some basic qustions to make sure I've got the right setup:

1. When should I connect the phone and in what mode? (Download mode or LG Software mode?)

2. Does is matter if USB debugging is on?

3. If it came originally with the Telus 4.2 software should I revert to that or use the Telus 4.4 software on your link?

Thanks for any help you can provide :)

Please could someone tell me which kitkat rom I should get for my european lg g2 32gb? I'm losing my patience for the OTA... because it probably won't come anyway...
[G2 General] errikosd:
Hello, I want to ask you something. What did you actually do with the LG Tool, since you had the latest version already installed? Did you select Options -> "Upgrade Recovery" to reinstall the current software and then fooled the LG Tool as you describe?

Cheers.

Can this only flash ORIGINAL firmware?

Just wanted some clarification on this as Three in the UK sell the G2 for £399 (which is a good price compared with other stores) but it comes with their splash screen, app and (probably) no APN settings for other carriers. Ideally I'd like to easily flash stock UK firmware with minimal fuss. I don't root or faff any more so I wondered if this soloution would allow me to do that. I'm guessing that the standard method of putting IMEI in there will just put the Three firmware back on though.

Anyone used this app for anything other than going back to carrier branded firmware?

Thanks

For everyone experiencing the 49% and stuck issue I was able to correct it on my phone, not sure how risky this is and I'm not recommending it to anyone. IF YOU DO DECIDE TO DO THIS IT'S AT YOUR OWN RISK! As soon as my phone hit 49% I unplugged it and plugged it back in right away, the phone continued the flash without any errors and my phone has booted up again. I also went into download mode and my phone says UNROOTED again..

Con i flash tre 302k versione on mi d802?

I will as soon as i get the files uploaded, its basically just substituting the dll and TOT files in the verizon method with the modified dll and TOT files i got from autoprime in irc.
[G2 General] hyelton:
For T-Mobile ? T-Mobile doesn't have a tot file I don't think.
[G2 General] jimgustafson74:
Yeah for tmobile d01, theyre modified by autoprime to work with the tmobile version but using the verizon method, it works perfect, ive used it on both of my d801 phones as well as a couple friends.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Verizon method you mean tot method? That method is already listed in the OP but the T-Mobile tot file would be awesome!
[G2 General] jimgustafson74:

I'm having problems (Using Windows 8.1, following Method 2). I follow the guide to the letter and when I run R&D Tools and try the Web Upgrade, Instead of the Normal Box with the Country and language options, this shows the LG Mobile suport tool. Yes, I installed all the drivers correctly and reinstalled them. I tried the guide twice and another guide with the same result. This is the second time I try to go back to stock, and the first time I did this guide with no problems. LG G2 D805 (Same as D802).

For Windows 8.1 users who want to try option 1.

You can try this.

Go to On the Start screen, type PowerShell It will open up a box like a command window.

Then type this is

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

This allows the execution of all scripts.

To Reset it:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Undefined

I realize that after going back to 4.2.2,rooting, installing twrp, and flashing the 4.4.2 firmware using the 'Update lg g2 to 4.4.2 kitkat while keeping root" method, you WILL end up with root but stock recovery. This is usuall where autoprime comes into play but as of now he is waiting for the G3 to drop before he starts working on custom recovery for 4.4 because as LG has announced, we WILL be getting an update (probably 4.4.3) and it will probably destroy any exploit he comes up with for a custom recovery for 4.4.2 (but also bring the new knock-to-unlock feature on the G pro 2 to the lg g2 ?) so just know that as soon as the G3 drops he will be all over it
[G2 General] TriceLL:
OK I can confirm that the TOT method worked out for me. Thanks jimgustafson74 and hyelton and everyone else who had helped me.

So guys, if the 1st method is not working for you, try the TOT method it should work.

[G2 General] hyelton:

[G2 General] just4747:
Hi, have been trying all night to downgrade my CM10.2 Verizon G2 (VS980) to stock VS98012B via the KDZ method in here. Doing this on a Windows 8.1 x64 PC. Really want to upgrade to the new OTA.

I can only get to the point of trying to start the updater (have tried both methods, 1. with VBS script and 2. manually) and every single time, no matter what I try, the box with Country and Language has no options in the Language box. And even when I continue with a blank Language, the updater on the next screen always fails at 15%, saying phone is not connected. I've tried different USB cables/ports, rebooting PC and phone, different LG drivers - nothing will work.

Can anyone suggest anything??
[G2 General] budeone:
What settings are you on for charger/software?
[G2 General] just4747:
Like PC connection settings? Debugging on of course and set to Media/MTD (opposed to Camera I believe).

I've tried changing/toggling everything. What should the provided driver cause the device to be called in Device Manager under ADB Devices? I didn't see a mention of this in here so far. Wanted to make sure I had it installed as the right kind.
[G2 General] budeone:
Do you have one for lg software? There are 4 choices on my co-workers phone. I had to chose lg software
[G2 General] just4747:
I installed the driver provided in the OP: LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN38AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.8.1.exe

In Device Manager I am trying to remember what it called the phone, but I can't remember (at work right now). It was ADB something something but it was different than I have ever seen before.

But if it counts, I was able to run the 'ADB Devices' command and got a device serial fine.
[G2 General] budeone:
If you see the number.. its not the driver. You are connected..
[G2 General] just4747:
Ok thought so. Just thought maybe there was a chance the driver had to make the PC see the phone as a very specific device and maybe this was causing my issue, even though the device is recognized fine in Device Mgr as some sort of ADB device, but I guess not.

Still not sure what else to try then - Always get blank Language box and updater timeout after 15% saying phone not connected :/
[G2 General] budeone:
You said you tried both option 1 and 2.

If you are going back to option one did you change your host file back?
[G2 General] just4747:
I always check and add or remove the line in hosts depending on which method I'm trying. If I don't I get an Internet Connected error or some other error anyway, so I always know when to add or remove it if needed. Mainly trying method 1 with the script at this point since it seems to get to the point of at least running the updater just fine (no need for manual method).
[G2 General] budeone:
Sorry, I am out of suggestions. :(
[G2 General] just4747:
It's ok thanks for the attempted help!

Anyone else??? :( Really want to downgrade so I can install the OTA!

To repeat, I continuously get blank Language drop down and even when I continue, the update process always fails after 15% saying phone not connected. All other details of my attempts are in the previous posts but pretty positive I'm not doing anything wrong...
[G2 General] ArcSyn:
Just finished Method 1 (VBS script) to flash my Verizon VS980 back to stock 12B using the 12B KDZ, but after it finished my phone just sat at the home screen and never went back to stock.

[G2 General] just4747:

[G2 General] ArcSyn:
Ok, finally got my phone back to stock. I had to flash the 11A KDZ file first because for some reason it wasn't applying the 12B KDZ file. Once 11A came up I got com.android.phone errors, but I ignored them and flashed 12B over top and this time it applied and updated it to 12B. After getting 12B completely flashed, I was able to apply the 24A update manually.

I've still have had no success in getting my Telus D803 back to stock. Are there any other methods I can look at to do this? I know the TOT method works for some models but I don't see that as an option for my phone as there are no files for the D803.

I can only assume the problem lies in my currently using a customized D802 ROM or something along that line. Something is causing the load to fail at 49% every time.... I'm frustrated...

[G2 General] mistry121:
I've been getting stuck at 49% for the past couple of days no matter how many times I tried using different methods. FINALLY found a solution and I'm hoping it works for you as well.

FIX:

I had CWM installed (Philz's Recovery) and what I did was go into the recovery and went under wipe and clicked on wipe rom then install new rom. Instead of installing a new rom I booted into download mode and followed the guide (method one). Worked like a charm for me and I'm officially on stock, although I kind of miss the flex rom I was on lol.
[G2 General] noduff:
Thanks for the reply.

I actually was told a similar thing by someone else. They were using TWRP in their case and said they had to advance wipe everything and then it took the download. My only reservation is that the G2 has no external SD card so if I wipe everything i didn't think there was a way to load another OS back on if it fails. Unless there is a way to load files onto the internal SD after a full wipe...

I guess I'll do a couple shots to work up my courage to just chance it...

alternate dll

I followed the TOT method in this guide trying to get my AT&T D800 (10d) back to stock, but the flash kept failing with the error "device model is different - check phone or dll."

I finally succeeded when I followed SuperSport's guide [FIRMWARE] Flash KitKat the EASY Way!!!! or Go back to JellyBean and used the alternate dll he provided: LGUP_8974.zip.

Everything his installer does is basically the same as your guide, but that alternate dll did the trick. You should consider including that dll in your post for people who keep getting the mismatched device error.

Thanks for the guide!

Okay, so trying to get rid of stock recovery and getting CWM or TWRP installed I used some utility and apparently corrupted the stock recovery. I now have no recovery at all. Does anyone know if doing a data factory reset will also restore stock recovery? Phone boots right up just fine though. I made the utterly stupid mistake of OTAing kit kat. I should love this phone. But it is worthless to me without the ability flash. What are my options for restoring stock recovery with bricking? Thanks.

Youll have to flash back to stock. For stock recovery. If you want custom just install a custom recovery

Lg g2 d80220a

Haven't flashed anything yet. The problem is when I got the phone I immediately OTA'd. Only after I OTA'd did I figure out that you cannot install CWN or TWRP as usual. KItKat has only stock recovery which is useless. But I tried to remove the stock recovery anyway and messed the recovery up. Essentially I have no recovery at all but the KitKat runs fine and phone boots fine. Can I repair the stock recovery by doing a factory reset?
