You may be able to find a stock rooted ROM you could flash through recovery in the dev section. its not factory stock but it could be an option
[G2 General] wm388:
Ok i kept shotgunning and eventually got it to work! for others with similar problems, the only solace i can offer you is to try and find a different computer and start from scratch. getting windows update to recognize your installed LG drivers is where i had trouble... don't lose hope ! thanks dev very great guide:good::good:
[G2 General] hyelton:
I'm glad you finally got it!
[G2 General] Fatty1212:
Thank you for this method! I successfully flashed d801 to JB! now I can install root again...
[G2 General] @LI™:
what the hell is this ?? why its occur ??
[G2 General] madgalaxy:
Is there a dll out there that ignores the model check for the d800? I have a d800 and want to flash back to stock, but the flash tool says I have a d801 and won't flash.

(Don't ask me how it says it is a d801, my son was messing around and I think he flashed a wrong file... Ugh!)
[G2 General] hyelton:
you should be able to use the megalock DLL file
[G2 General] madgalaxy:
So using the megalock dll instead of the model dll will skip the model check?

Edit: it says megalock dll is the "wrong dll" when I select it in the tool.
[G2 General] hyelton:
I meant did you copy the megalock.DLL file in the correct folder of flashtool?
[G2 General] schlager P.:
http://iceimg.com/qik-YRjA/captureHi, I seem to have deleted the phones contents (although I'm sure I DIDN'T select "wipe storage"), but now I'm trying to use your method (TRWP's adb sideload's stuck at loading), and after I click on "normal web upgrade" and selecting "upgrade start" it says as in attached image, and after that it says "you need to update R&D test". So, what to do now?
[G2 General] madgalaxy:
Oh yes. The megalock dll is in the correct folder. I have used the tool in the past with no issues. I guess I need to know how to skip the model check (if at all possible).

OP: This guide saved my bacon. After an unexplained SIBAO (Stuck In Bootloop And Overheating) and subsequent factory reset, I thought I was okay until this afternoon when the same thing happened again; the idea of taking a rooted G2 to AT&T for a replacement really didn't appeal to me. Your instructions worked dead-on.

I am from the Philippines, I have an unlocked 32Gb LG G2 D802, Can I use the Europe open 32Gb D80220B for my phone? I am currently in D80220A and want to upgrade to D80220B via OTA but I cant because I am rooted so I want to do this method.

[G2 General] Rox598:
Hey just a quick question :)

I'm assuming the "open" firmware in the links for United kingdom is an unbranded firmware? phone is still on 4.2.2 so it;s ok to flash KK on top right?
[G2 General] icrzymonkey:
Yes i did a hard rest, and im still in bootloop...

Please help.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Hard Reset? care to explain what you did? cause you need to do a factory reset. hard reset and factory reset are two different things.
[G2 General] icrzymonkey:
Well power downed the phone and held down the volume down button and power and did a hard reset.

the factory rest i cant do from the phone cause every time i go into settings i get an error and when i try to go into back&restore i get an error saying settings has FC and crashes on me.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Please go look at the OP there is a link on how to factory reset. you don't reset from settings. (How are you getting to settings if your in bootloop?......)
[G2 General] icrzymonkey:
the OP?

the phone boots up and after every 1-2min the phone restarts and does not stop,
[G2 General] hyelton:
OP means first post. in the first post I mentchen that more than 90% you will need to reset or youll have bootloop. also there is a link on how to do it
[G2 General] icrzymonkey:
Sorry to be a nob, but can you send me the link please... thanks.:)

I have been using the following steps:

Disconnect your device from PC and then power off your device. Wait for 4-5 seconds after screen goes off.

Press and hold Volume Down (first) and Power button together and then when you see the LG logo, then let go of Power button for a second and hold it back (don’t let go of Volume Down button).

You’ll see a screen with FACTORY HARD RESET written at top.

Press the Power button to confirm the Hard Reset and format the device. (To cancel the Factory Reset, press any of the two Volume buttons.)

It will ask again, press Volume Up again. That’s it. Device will be wiped off, all data will be deleted and your LG device will reboot automatically for you to setup again.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Okay when you do those steps, do you select yes on the factory reset screen?
[G2 General] icrzymonkey:
Yes i did, and they it shows the android dude, doing his thing and then the phone restarts and from there boots up, but im back a square one, were the phone load and then crashes once u unlock the screen and reboots.
[G2 General] hyelton:
What firmware did you flash? also was it the firmware meant for your device?
[G2 General] Rox598:
Can anyone help when I run the automatic offline procedure.vbs i gte this error and nothing happens

hi

i need bin_lgd802at-00-v10f-ame-xx-32G.tot

can anyone provide me the download link for this file

it would be very appreciated

currently i have D80210b-SEA-XX (android 4.2.2) and i really need to be on 4.2.2 (due to kitkat bugs on g2)
[G2 General] schlager P.:
may I ask why? Got the 16 BG version, and it works fine. no hits in Google btw
[G2 General] b2never:
here is the story

the first fw on my phone was 10f middle east everything was fine there

then i tempted to update to kitkat

i got 2 issue ( more battery consumption , irritating noise with other headphones )

so i had to flash my phone with TOT file BIN_LGD802AT-00-V10b-SEA-XX-SEP-04-2013-32G+0.zip

but since that when i hit software update and check for update it tell me you have the latest os ( which is wrong ) and i guess the 10f is more fluent and better than 10b

anyhow i got it there http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW559395432109876543213/D80210F_00.kdz

look at this http://forum.mobilestan.net/showthread.php?t=319547 and now i guess i can flash 10f

i'll do that tomorrow
[G2 General] schlager P.:
aah, like that

good luck!
[G2 General] b2never:
by the chance do you know any kitkat firmware which fixed those bugs that i mentioned ? (battery and headphone)?

Second method as described in the OP right after(below) the instructions for using the method you (unsuccessfully) tried

[G2 General] ahmadcentral:
How?

Every time i try and flash anything it takes me to CWM recovery.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Then something is not being done correctly. If your flashing back to stock that removes CWM. Read the first post.
[G2 General] ahmadcentral:
I guess what i'm trying to say is i can't access download mode.

Every time i try and access download mode (tried all ways and all volume button combinations) it just takes me to CWM.

Even tried plugging in USB cable whilst holding down volume up/down and it still takes me to cwm.

---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ----------

Yup, so it seems that either boot is corrupt or system is corrupt.

Any time i boot the phone it goes straight to CWM. Even if i flash a different ROM.

Also "System" is unmounted and when i mount it and reboot it just goes straight back to CWM with system unmounted again.

Can't enter download mode either.

Any help?

Even plugging in USB takes me to CWM. So basically i can't charge the phone now either.
[G2 General] agentscreech:
Same issue. I was having some problems with the phone, it tried to do an OTA update, now it just goes to CWM no matter what I do. If I power it off, then hold the vol +/- and then plug it in, it just stays at the LG screen.
[G2 General] ahmadcentral:
Do you have the Korean version?

For me it was the latest OTA update that came out today. Tried to update but it just went to CWM.
[G2 General] agentscreech:
nope, US VZW version, but it was the same thing. I was at the store and the vzw rep start the OTA without me knowing and before I could stop him, it was too late.

I have a backup on the /sdcard/ but nothing works. I've tried to restore the boot, a complete restore from the img a wipe/factory reset, every option that the CWM has and nothing has worked.
[G2 General] ahmadcentral:
Go to backup and restore> Advanced restore> then one by one restore system, data etc...

See if this works?
[G2 General] agentscreech:
Like I said...I've tried every option available. No luck.
[G2 General] ahmadcentral:
Will your store replace it?

I'll have to contact the seller i bought it from in Korea who i feel may not replace it.
[G2 General] agentscreech:
They just did, but only because I know all the employees to not notice the Rooted device.

Does this Unroot?

Hi,

I'm almost sure my D802 has a defect (low benchmarks, laggy games, overheating a lot)

But I rooted it...

I flashed several times (even tried to update the rom with the lg tool), nothing seems to unroot the phone.

Is there a way to unroot the phone so I can send it to LG support??

Thanks!

[G2 General] hyelton:
Check your internet connection... It's surly not not the link. I host my stuff on my own server. And in which is connected to a gigabit port. I can download it just fine within a few seconds...

Also these are large files ...
[G2 General] jordant2:
Thanks for the quick reply. Not sure what it is that's causing such a slow download but I don't need it now. For anyone else stuck at a dark screen with the led flashing blue and green I was able to press and hold volume down and power to reboot, then volume down and power again to get to a screen to reset. I hit power twice and it takes me to TWRP and runs a script to factory reset, then boots right back to the lg logo and the black screen with the flashing led. I was able to intercept this loop by connecting to my laptop while it's in recovery running the script and using adb reboot recovery to get back to the main screen of TWRP which then allows me to restore my backup! I hope this may help someone else.

Just to clarify, when in recovery, I only had about 30 seconds before it would reboot back into the loop so I started adb before I would even get into recovery and already had adb reboot recovery typed in so that all I had to do is plug in the phone and press enter.

I know that it'll remove the rooted flag from the system, but not sure about the TWRP being removed and the stock recovery being installed.

Thanks.

That's because the combination is power off hold Vol down and power at the same time.
