Thanks very much, this is where I started to get confused as I have a 32gb, and there are very few Open roms for the 32gb in the lists that I can find, apart from the European OPEN, that should hopefully work otherwise I will need to go for the one network in the UK only such as "327 6EE/T-MOBILE(UNITED KINGDOM)	V20D	LGD802	1.66 GiB	80	Online	"
[G2 General] cacciucco:
Look at the thread LG G2 kitkat UK only, in the last couple of pages there is a link to a open EUR 802200D ROM, I have flashed it on a 32GB HK G2 a d it works perfectly on the EE network and has 4G
[G2 General] hyelton:
The link is also in the OP firmware links..
[G2 General] mgdew:
thanks, is that the one at the top of page 53?

That site you posted is NOT allowed here...
[G2 General] dandc87:
ok, my bad then. why not though?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Don't get me started on that site :p lol. For one its not allowed on XDA because of the full page AD links.

And that site should not be running due to the point that they don't host the files!!! They are making money off of LGs server. That site is NOT hosting the files. That site is stealing resources from LG and making money off it.

That's why I have my own server with most of those firmwares are hosted on my server. And maintaining my own list. Also Meaning if LG pulls a file off there server that one site link will go down because there stealing it from LG. But my server will still have it.
[G2 General] dandc87:
Oh I see, again, my bad. It just happened to be the only place with a full list of kdz that included the one I was looking after.
[G2 General] hyelton:
I try to keep up with the new stuff on my server. But sometimes miss things. I usually keep in touch with the Chinese sites. A lot of the time they get it first.
[G2 General] dandc87:
I understand and I appreciate your efforts. I might as well ask you this if you don't mind; Is there a way for any person to pull the kdz file they want from LG servers instead of getting the kdz for your specific imei ?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Not that I know of. Theres ways of pulling them but I`m not sure how. Any reason? Need a firmware?

error updating!

hello, i have a LG G2 D805, i want it to get to my rom stock, i have the kdz file, i followed all the steps, but when the phone its updating.... in 2% throws me an error, cant conect phone with pc... i retry and retry and nothing, i installed and reinstalled the usb drivers.... i did all the steps, need help please! my phone is bricked.
[G2 General] dandc87:
you could try putting your phone in download mode if you can before you start flashing. with the device powered off hold volume down while you plug the USB cable, if that doesn't work try holding volume up instead.
[G2 General] Wished87:
i dont get it man, i already put it in download mode, like the tutorial says, volume up + usb cable!, but it dont work....
[G2 General] cmaag:
I working on returning my G2 to stock. The problem that I am having is windows recognizing the phone once in download mode. It rather odd since i used the same computer to do this earlier but it was on 4.2.2 at that time. Now i don't get anything once in download mode. Like it doesn't even think anything is connected after reboot at LG logo. I would think this would be a realitively easy fix but I don't have any ideas left. Is there possibly a way of fixing this if I flash a different rom via TWRP.

I have installed all necessary drivers I can get adb access while in the OS. The only reason for returning to stock is I need to send to LG since i am getting the notorious dead touch screen band.

I have tried both KDZ and tot methods but as one would assume, the computer not recognizing the phone in download mode makes this a big problem. If anyone has an idea of what to try to fix this I would be appreciative. Just odd it doesn't work after the 4.4.2 OTA.

Thank you in advance

Can anyone confirm if the KDZ Method 1 (with the vbs script) is working for the of the Verizon LG G2 (VS980) with the 24a KDZ?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yes its been confirmed several times, it wouldn't be here If it didn't work
[G2 General] bsg273:
Thanks, I had just seen some posts from VS980 owners in the history where the KDZ method didn't work for them and they had to resort to TOT. Could very well be a user error though.

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

Is step 5 in KDZ Method 1 stating:

actually required? I've seen various YouTube tutorials and step-by-step guides where they just leave the country set as "Republic of Korea". Is this OK or should it be set to something other than the default.
[G2 General] hyelton:
No it can be set to anything..
[G2 General] Areeq:
the R&D FlashTool (offline fix) & LGMOBILEAX links seems not working mate.

Another question, I got Win8, and I might face some issues as you noted, who can I solve this.
[G2 General] cmaag:
Anyone have an idea?
[G2 General] cacciucco:
Yes
[G2 General] dandc87:
what I did was change the hosts file to include that lg line that's on the second method, and then use method 1. if you can't outright edit the hosts file because of permission issues just copy it to desktop, edit it and replace the original with it.
[G2 General] Brutos08:
Thanks i have download all the tools thanks ..feel more confident flashing a custom from now as i have all the tools
[G2 General] II_DiE_4:
i know im asking too much but any1 can please post the md5 of D80220D_00.kdz file?

I download it from UK Open 20D

Thanks..

P.s. Also posting the md5 of the files would be great OP. Since we can check if the file is intact upon download.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Use a download manger 99.9% its fully complete. Also the flashtools WON'T flash if the file is not complete
[G2 General] II_DiE_4:
Ok good.. Since the flashtool of lg have a build in integrity checker is fine. Didnt know that.. :)
[G2 General] bsg273:
I'm also hanging at 49% on my VS980 performing KDZ Method 1. I have CWM 6.0.4.6 recovery. In the recovery, I did a wipe data/factory data reset and wiped the cache, then I clicked retry in the R&D Test Tool. It still goes to 49% and hangs. Any other suggestions? Perhaps the hard reset (where you hold down volume down and power and then hold power and then press power again to hard reset)? I don't know what else to do to make it work, other than switching lanes and trying the TOT method.
[G2 General] rdsqc22:
1421 54854536

Just do the TOT method, it's really easy.
[G2 General] bsg273:
Yeah, I'm gonna see if Hyelton has any suggestions, but if not, that's definitely what I'm resorting to. Are there any issues, that you know of, after flashing the old 10b software using TOT and then just doing the OTA update to 24a?
[G2 General] TEDET123:
hi Hyelton, what should i do next?

thks!
[G2 General] hyelton:
In CWM recovery did you "Format System". ? Its under partions / advanced. If not try that your getting stuck maybe because you had a non stock ROM?,if so that's why format system. If you still can't flash it just use the tot method its not gonna hurt and you can OTA update :)
[G2 General] bsg273:
Yeah I was running the official CM11 nightlies as my ROM and CWM 6.0.4.6 as my recovery. Under the mounts and storage I have the following format options:

format /system

format /data

format /cache

format /persist

format /firmware

format /sns

format /persist-lg

format /mpt

format /data and /data/media (sdcard)

Should I just format /system or should I format multiple partitions, and if so which ones? Thank you very much.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Don't touch anything else. Only format system
[G2 General] bsg273:
One more question before I try it later this evening ... does formatting the system partition affect the ability to restore a backup at all?
[G2 General] hiphiphooray:
Trying to run the TOT method but I have no idea what "setting the port to COM 41" means. How can I do this under device manager?

edit: nvm, found it under hidden devices
[G2 General] bsg273:
Right click My Computer

Click Manage

Click Device Manager

Expand the Ports option

Right click the LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port

Click Properties

Under the Port Settings tab click Advanced

Change the COM Port Number to COM41 in the drop-down list
[G2 General] hiphiphooray:
hey thanks. figured it out.
[G2 General] bsg273:
Worked like a charm! It did proceed to bootloop after it was done, but I knew from your instructions just to hard reset it. It was pretty tricky though because it would only reboot and not shut down so timing the volume down+power button press was tough. I couldn't get it so I finally put it back in download mode, then held the power button and shut it down from there because I knew it wouldn't reboot that way, and finally proceeded to do the whole hard reset method. Many thanks hyelton!

---------- Post added at 04:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 AM ----------

So I completed the process using KDZ method 1, but it still says "ROOTED" at the bottom of the screen when I enter download mode. Of course, when I boot into the phone though, it's not rooted. Is there any way to get this to change back to unrooted?
[G2 General] raravi:
After using the steps mentioned in OP to go back to stock(currently on Paranoid Android 4.3 G2 beta 5, i'm planning on flashing Europe_Open_KitKat_D80220B_00.kdz using method 2), can i use IOROOT to root it?
[G2 General] alm1ghty:
I cannot get Windows 7 to recognize the VS980 under Ports when booted in download mode. It only shows up as an Android ADB device and I cannot change the ports. Has anyone had this issue and been able to get past it?
[G2 General] jayzied:
Try to uninstall the drivers. Then, search manually the correct one. I had the same issue with a Nexus 5 when I had to flash it as stock to sell it because it was recognized as adb bootloader instied of adb fastboot.

In my case I couldn't change the driver due to it only wanted to install adb bootloader, yet I could do it because it also worked on adb. However, your case is pretty different. Just try to do which I said.

[G2 General] alm1ghty:
I still can't get any of these methods to work. I can get everything set up correctly and running under any method. The problem arises when the phone reboots into download mode. The G2 gets into to download mode successfully, but it is recognized as Android Sooner Single ADB Interface. As a result, the flash tools do not recognize the phone and recovery never starts. I have installed and uninstalled every type of LG driver, and I have tried Windows 7, 8, and XP. All with the same result.

I need to get my phone back to stock so it can be returned due to a dead band on the touchscreen. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm stuck in a bootloop with "Security Error"

I have a Tmobile d801... was trying to flash a d802 4.2.2 rom with TWRP 2.6.3.2.

Install flashed fine... after install I have the Tmobile stock kernel save as a restore... so I restored the stock kernel and rebooted system.

Got bootloop... booted back into recovery. TWRP 2632 can take a very long time to wipe and restore so I flashed philz_touch_6.27.5-d801.

I guess that fail because when I boot into recovery I get a prompt in the top left...

I try the TOT method but when I use the d801.dll it fails because it thinks the phone is a d802 because of the d802 rom I flashed.

I try TOT with d802.dll just to see if I could get something on the phone... but it fails on the modem check. kinda stuck in the middle of no mans land.

Is there any way to force the LGFlashTool to continue when I use the d801.dll?
[G2 General] alm1ghty:
I finally got it! Apparently, after I came back to a 12A Rom from a 24A, my download mode was broken. I flashed a download mode fix, and it worked on the first try. Now I can get my warranty replacement. Happy days :laugh:

I run the software Root Checker and it shows that my D802 is unrooted.

BUT

in Download Mode (Volume UP + Cable Connected) it shows it is ROOTED

Flash Tool not working

So I am trying to go back to stock to test the new slim test builds for 24A!

I have used the TOT method once before and it was super easy but now I am trying to do it and everything will be going smooth and then the LG Flash Tool will just say ready for all of the ports and not do anything else. I changed my phone to port 41 and everything.

I haven't done this in a while and I read all of the steps but am I missing anything?

I have re downloaded everything and installed the LG Flash Tool also. I'm not sure what is wrong.

can you guide me through the process of upgrading my 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 i just recovred my lg g2 at t with the process mentioned about but now i cant update it to 4.4.2 it always say the device is not registered so how am i supposed to update it to 4.4.2 by computer
[G2 General] hyelton:
First off why didn't you just flash the 4.4.2 tot? Also the not registered issue is a known problem with all LG androids. It checks with the carrier before updating. So if your not using an att sim that could be your problem. If you are call att and have them push the update. But you could had just flashed the KitKat tot
[G2 General] muz_dani:
I tried to find it but i was unable to find the tor file for lg g2 at&t on the given address the tor file is of 4.2.2 and a folder of kit kat update which contain a file without any extension and of 600 mb

So how will i go farward
[G2 General] hyelton:
There is a folder above the KitKat update folder that's called KitKat TOT which is the KitKat tot.
