I want to flash it on Europe Open kdz or custom ROM which has different modem. Kdz for my country has better quality modem for me then other kdz or custom ROM?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Modems are all mostly the same.
[G2 General] ceza1380:
Thanks :)
[G2 General] andreasoz:
I have succesfully flashed kitkat, but in Download mode it stills says rooted. I want to return the phone on warranty due to yellow spots on part of the screen.

I have fixed it before but I need a JB firmware for my d802 europe 32 gb. I couldn't find it in OPs post, only malasyia firmware came close, and mine is a european.

Can someone link me a offical jb firmware for my phone?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Jelly bean is hard to come by now when it comes to certain ones as when lg removed all of them and that was when I lost them all myself from a server outage.
[G2 General] andreasoz:
I used the malasyian version of d802 32 gb. I notcied it was a v10 and that is jelly bean, and it was. So I installed that kdz with the first solution in OPs post. I then used: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2715114 to get the backup of jb rct files.

I then installed kit kat northern europe and installed my backup from the jb rom. Now it says unrooted in download mode.

I wrote this down if anyone else has the same problem.
[G2 General] HumanXv2:
Is there a JB tot file for att d800?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Well if you'd just look at the links in the OP you'd know. :) There's 2 versions on my server that are both jelly bean.
[G2 General] HumanXv2:
I did and I assumed they were kk due to the date on them and the fact that there wasn't a lot of time between the two on there.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Don't look at the dates.. The dates on the right are just when its uploaded or moved. Not date of he file.

If you look at the exact file name it shows Aug 14, 2013 and OCT 19th 2013 that's before kitkat. As well as seening 10d and 10o means jelly bean as well.
[G2 General] danieldp1990:
Can someone provide the dlpkgfile for going from 20u to 20y FOTA? all the links on XDA that are available , dont work well....
[G2 General] hyelton:
Why not just flash a kdz? Also you didn't list a model number there's a ton of them.
[G2 General] danieldp1990:
I am using LG G2 D800 from AT&T and I am not getting any update... as I know, to update D800 you have to push updates manually by FOTA. if I am not wrong.

I was trying yesterday to push lollipop on my G2 from firmware 20u but it seems that it only work from 20y to lollipop.
[G2 General] hyelton:
I honestly don't think it's going to work like you think it will. It never worked for the G3 to update to lollipop. Your most likely going to have to go with a custom rom or custom stock rom to get lollipop.
[G2 General] danieldp1990:
Why? people with D800 have done it well
[G2 General] hyelton:
Don't know, don't own one. I just know it was not working correctly with the G3. With the G3 if you want lollipop you have to root and run a rom.
[G2 General] shivg86:
Can we go back to kitkat after upgrading to lollipop??i am from India.
[G2 General] guitarboy021:
I think so, yeah. Well I went frm kk to JB so most probably yep.
[G2 General] carnage reigns:
What password are you using for the flash tool 1.8.1? And do I still need to disconnect my internet connection and set it back to 2012? Also what country am I picking?
[G2 General] hyelton:
I think you need to go back and reread the OP... None of those things are required for over a year now. There's no password, you don't have to disconnect or be offline.

And you choose whatever matches your model and or country.
[G2 General] rawiswar2001:
i have LS980 32gb model..... but it is not mentioned in the firmware file name that it is 16gb or 32gb firmware..... please help....
[G2 General] hyelton:
That would be because the LS980 is 32gb only. There's no 16gb version of USA models.
[G2 General] carnage reigns:
This is what happens when i run as admin. What am I missing?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Did you not copy the megalock dll to your flashtool folder?
[G2 General] rawiswar2001:
can i update directly from ZVA to ZVE by skipping ZVC and ZVD????
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yes as these are full factory files not updates. :)
[G2 General] carnage reigns:
Thank you. That was the problem.
[G2 General] Ragnarok2:
I have a T-Mobile LG G2 that received lollipop update through OTA. I would like to go back to the previous update (D80120G). Does the methods provided in the OP work with flashing back to kitkat after the lollipop update, more specifically the TOT method ( it only says LG G3 so I wasn't sure if it works with LG G2)? Also does my phone need to be rooted to start the flashing process? Additionally, I was trying to find the firmware for my phone on the website however I am not sure which one to download. The one that was listed under the T-Mobile LG G2 folder was D80120e, however I think the version of KitKat I had before the update was D80120G which was not listed. Do you know where I can find that version?

Sorry for all the questions, I really did not like the lollipop update that was automatically installed OTA on my phone and would like to just have the previous firmware back if possible. Much thanks!
[G2 General] Viper3001:
Hi, i cant find any .TOT file. Only the kdz files or am Im wrong?

Thanks
[G2 General] hyelton:
Well what's your model? You didn't say. There's several tot files but not for all models.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yes this guide is for going back to stock, downgrade , and upgrading its in the Op.

All versions that are available are in the links/OP. . I update it regularly.
[G2 General] Double0EK:
Let me know if you try this to downgrade. My wife wants her KK back...she hates this Lollipop update! Lol
[G2 General] hyelton:
It's been done a ton of times with this guide.
[G2 General] Double0EK:
Ok. Thanks...I just dont have an LG so I havent read this thread... I dont want to be a guinea pig..lol
[G2 General] Viper3001:
Oh sorry, my model is a open lg g2 without branding (if its possible a german firmware)
[G2 General] pythonimus:
I'm searching for a similar tot/kdz:

d802 german nonbranded 32GB (has now 30b if thats important)
[G2 General] Viper3001:
I can only find a .tot with a AT ending. This: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/D802+tot/
[G2 General] hyelton:
What do you mean AT ending?
[G2 General] Viper3001:
This : BIN_LGD802AT-00-V10a-425-02-SEP-05-2013-16G. Dont know if its for AT&t or something else. But this is a .exe and no .tot file.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Uh no that file name clearly states it's for a D802... The AT&T is a D800 not a D802 flashing that will result into problems on top of that AT&T only comes in 32GB not 16Gb.

Theres tots for the AT&T model IN the AT&T folder...

EDIT: I just seen your other post , this post made you seem like you wanted a tot file for the AT&T model.

If you have a 32GB German model if you flash that link above you'll end up having a 16GB version. You really need to go and reread the OP entirely. If your looking for an exact firmware go to lgkdz.com and enter your IMEI. If not then find a kdz and use the kdz method.
[G2 General] Viper3001:
Ok, sorry for missunderstanding. Im searching a .tot file for the lg 802 german firmware 16gb. The .kdz method isnt working for me.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Well if you have a 16gb then it should work for you :). The kdz method works perfectly fine. Did you make sure LGEModem shows up in device manager under ports when phone is plugged in while in download mode? If not then tot method won't work either until you fix the driver issue. (If it's that not causing it to work) which is common.
[G2 General] Viper3001:
Well, my problem is i did the update to 5.0 with the LG PC Suite but the update failed and now i stuck into download mode. And the handy is recognized only as COM41 but not as LGE MTP device (device could not be started code 10). Then i try to flash it progress til 60% percent and then it fails again. So i hoped the .tot method will work.
[G2 General] hyelton:
You don't need LGE mtp device. That has nothing to do with flashing. That shouldn't be under com ports. It just should be a normal device driver.
[G2 General] Viper3001:
Ok, the drivers are installed. But the .kdz method didnt worked. The handy shows on bottom a red assert and then nothing happens after 60%. So ill try the .tot method. But the file i downloaded is a .exe is that right?

Sry for my bad english.
[G2 General] hyelton:
You open the exe and it extracts to a tot
[G2 General] Viper3001:
Ok, Ill give a reply if it works.

But I am wondering why kdz doesnt work for me...
[G2 General] pythonimus:
I want to go back to KK to switch to CM.

Which can I flash on my D802 unbranded 32GB from them? storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda%2FLG+G2%2FStock%2FGermany%2F

Germany OPEN KitKat D80220D_00.kdz is the right one?
[G2 General] guitarboy021:
Dude I had the same prob. Check under dev manager. If you're using w8 it might not work coz it didnt for me. It worked on w7 ultimate.
[G2 General] Viper3001:
So, after a few tries the .kdz method worked. The progress raised only for 3% each flash process but now its done. Thanks for your help guys.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Glad you finally got it :)
[G2 General] igos2:
Hi, I'm on lollipop 30a. To go back to stock kitkat I just have to flash a kitkat kdz with LG flash tool? No other procedures?

Also, my model is D802 32G with "certified for use on honk Kong" writen on the box, should I use a hong Kong kdz or open Europe? I'm from north Africa.
[G2 General] jaimbot:
I have a t mobile d801 and will be trying this kdz method tomorrow, so I select CDMA, DIAG, and choose my KDZ file, and CSE Flash, after this process it should go back to stock?
[G2 General] LazyG:
Hello,

I have a refurbished phone, sold as D802. As many others updated it with PC Suite, now phone not operational.

Opened phone, found D800 motherboard inside. Download mode is available, can flash kdz, but can not find kdz for D800. Device name for the phone is LGE AndroidNet USB modem

Trying to flash stock D800 TOT - however can not start downloading TOT to the phone. Please advise.
[G2 General] aftabalam8c2:
Download tot in phone.
[G2 General] mickman:
From CM to stock D802 Lollipop

Currently running TWRP & CyanogenMod 12 (Nightly), but I want to give the latest stock firmware on Lollipop a try on my D802 (32GB).

Running LG PC Suite or the LG Mobile Support Tool does not detect the device. But I'm not even sure if this is the right way to do this.

Probably only works with stock firmware?

The OP describes the tools to go back to stock.

Does this method also works when I download the latest stock firmware for D802 (32GB)? Or do i have to go back first to the firmware my phone was originally released with?
[G2 General] hyelton:
You leave it as it is when you open the app and flash :).
[G2 General] hyelton:
D800 is tot method only if you read the entire Op :).

You download the tot on the computer. As you must use a computer anyway to flash it. When trying to download these files with a browser on the phone results in problems.
[G2 General] hyelton:
You can flash anything as long As it matches your size and model number.
[G2 General] mickman:
Ok thanks, I'll go for the Lollipop firmware then.

--> only 16 GB variants?
[G2 General] LazyG:
That was I'm trying to do, but download from computer to phone does not start
[G2 General] hyelton:
Neither. If you flash a 16gb variant firmware you'll loose half your storage and cause problems. You need to flash a firmware that doesn't have 16GB in the file name. If you have a Dutch G2 and lollipop is already out just go to lgkdz.com and enter your imei.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yeah but the way you say it sounds completely different

Your really not describing much.

I'm assuming tot method.

Phone in download mode?

LGEMODEM set to com41 under device manager?

After clicking the yellow arrow did you unplug then replug your phone for it to start?

Follow/check those steps.

So the phone got bricked it went to fastboot mode afterwards.... after spending A day I finally managed to to boot it into download mode but no luck afterwards...

I Tried to flash the rom by LG Flash tool 2014 but no luck, It always get stuck on 2 percent, I also tried to flash the rom by LG Flash tool v1.8.1 by trying to flash both D802 and D801 Roms, D802 does not even start and failed, but D801 was started but failed after 13 seconds and giving some error LAF partition error! I also Tried to flash the rom by R&D tool but it gave me this error (kdz decrypt success. extract file error) So now I don't know what to do! please help me because I am a noob, and i can't do it without help! I will be more than Happy to provide any kind of Information about my phone! :) Your help will be always remembered so please HELP.

Did you try restarting your PC ? And did you download the tot with a download manager?

Whenever you try to you close flashtool off and start over as well as rebooting the phone that helps too.
[G2 General] aftabalam8c2:
Its not in download mode.

Do the following trick.

Keep ready lg flash tool.

When it say ready.

Press and hold vol up and connnect to pc. And as u see firmware update screen keep pressing vol up button many times around 30 times in 10 sec and most probably flashing will start.

If not.... And gives same error.

Then you are not in download mode.

Its psuedo mode.
[G2 General] LazyG:
I'm sorry, didn't get regarding download manager - do you mean downloading tot from internet? I believe tot file is ok, as I have tried 2 different ones, and on the start flashtool do long crc check and passes.

Restared PC, flashtool, and download mode on the phone several times, with no luck. First time when I disconnect the phone, sometime I see Waiting for connection. , which stays forever even if i connect phone back and can see it in the device manager. if disconnect once again I get DOWNLOAD FAILED message I provided before

And again, I can flash different kdz

tried this as well 4 times by now. no luck so far. First when I see with volume up button down and connection, is a download mode, which is later changed to Firmware Update screen

open for more ideas

and thank you for patience in any case

Decided to do try one more time on a completely fresh PC. Installed drivers, FlashTool. The same - after connecting phone Waiting for Connection appears, but download does not start. If disconnect cable once again Download failed appears.
[G2 General] mickman:
lgkdz.com didn't load anything after entering my IMEI. I downloaded the 32GB one from your storagecow repository. Flashed it with the KDZ method. Works great. I prefer this one over CM12. Thanks!

Flashing took just 5 minutes. After it completed, it showed the setup screen on the phone. Did one sudden reboot and after that it works flawless (for now). Too bad LG didn't update their hideous default wallpaper. For the rest it's a nice schmuck-up from KitKat.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Glad you got it. :). Yeah I love LGs software. Lollipop on my G3 was so much better than KitKat. But I personally do find the G2 and G3 software sluggish.

Sort of Boot Loop

So about a month ago I followed your tutorial to return back to stock. Worked great, for a few minutes, and then rebooted. Now it will start up for a few minutes, but then randomly restarts, even if I power it off. I have tried factory reset, taken the phone apart to verify that it is a D800 like I thought, tried both .tot and .dll files, nothing. I was wondering if there was anything that I might be able to to get it out of this boot loop, besides follow this tutorial, as flashing back to stock seems to be the only solution that I have found online. Any help or ideas would be appreciated, I'm getting pretty desperate.

Thanks
[G2 General] morfini:
On international d802, I didn't change anything on flash tool, so CDMA option was ticked. Everything works fine now, but I am worried because I need to get the phone to service. Do I have to run through the process again with different option chosen or they won't see anything strange?
[G2 General] guitarboy021:
Nope. Its complete stock. They wont see anything. I got my phone serviced twice even though it was rooted. This tutorial is perfect for flashing back to stock. It doesnt alter anything instead it removes anything 'strange' that you're worried about.

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 PM ----------

Try downloading the kdz or tot using ADM. Its a download manager and it worked really well for me. I wasnt able to download the files properly on my pc or phone browser. It wud show completed even though it stopped abruptly in between so using ADM wud be better.

Plus, for me, the flashtool doesnt work on w8 but did the job in w7. That could help. Also check under COMS in device manager if the lg driver appears.
[G2 General] hutjeflut:
How is the ram usage on 5.0? its somewhat poor on 4.4 with only 750 mb free no 3rd party apps running.

my zenfone 6 had 1,4 gb free !

It makes multitasking ****e as it keeps ditching good aps from the ram.

Google/brands really needs to fix ram management and stop preloadeing crap in it i ever use anyway.

Let advanced users choose whats preloaded already....
[G2 General] hyelton:
If anything 5.0 would be better. But also the amount of usage is due to LG custom UI
[G2 General] mph_88:
I have a d801. When I try to boot the phone, it get's stuck at the white screen with a t-mobile logo. If I try to go into download mode it flashes the download mode screen for a second and then boots into fastboot mode. However, in fastboot mode it will not allow me to flash anything. I run" fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and it gives

ERROR: could not get pipe properties

target reported max download size of 1862270976 bytes

sending 'recovery' (8906 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.351s]

writing 'recovery'...

but it never writes the recovery. On my phone it just shows "[41600] fastboot: flash:recovery" and then just sits there. I've tried issusing the reboot (or erase) command as well, but it just sits there. It looks like the command is sent over usb but the phone doesn't do anything with it.

I've tried SRKtool, the lg flash tool does not recognize the phone, and linux won't let me mount it as a partition to manual write it. Any suggestions, or am I just sunk?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Not 100% sure. What did you do before this happened/what did you do to cause the bootloop? You never said.

And yes flash tool won't recognize it at all unless it's in download mode.
[G2 General] mph_88:
I had the phone rooted, and I tried to install twrp using srktool. However it would never install twrp, it would just sit in download mode and not run the sh script. So I thought if I could manually run it, it would install. So I ran adb shell and ran the script from /data/local/tmp. It threw a few errors, but I figured if I rebooted it would fix it, but it didn't, and now I'm stuck.
[G2 General] hyelton:
So when your trying to get into download mode, you have the usb cable plugged in the phone and PC right? Cause I know download mode can jump out ( I have had that happen a few times) when it's not properly connected to the PC or loose.
[G2 General] mph_88:
Yes, I have tried it on two different computers and have used two different USB cables.

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

Is there a way to open a command prompt in fastboot, then I could use an otg cable to reflash a recovery partition? It almost seems like in fastboot, I have lost my root privileges. Or do you know of a way I can bypass fastboot and reflash recovery without it?
[G2 General] aftabalam8c2:
First you have to fix fastboot.

Flash laf. Img

And then flash stock rom

After u can go for custom recovery
[G2 General] mph_88:
How can I fix fastboot by flashing laf.img if it won't let me flash anything in fastboot? Is there an alternate way to flash laf.img without fastboot?
[G2 General] wahab96:
Problem Solved! Thanks though...

So yesterday after posting for help, I asked to my brother to check if he can help me...

so he tried some different TOT ROMs... after 4 failed attempts he did this thing, he picked BIN_LGD801AT-01-V10c-310-260-AUG-13-2013+0.tot ROM with this LGUP_8974.dll DLL and flashed it with LG Flash tool v1.8.1 and it worked like A charm :laugh: now am running T-Mobile ROM on Lollipop :p I simply can't belive on my luck! :angel: BTW the my phone back cover Non-removable. and it doesn't matter whether it's 801 or 802... it running on Lollipop :D !

The only thing i want now is Root for my phone! if you can help me with that? :rolleyes: because i don't know the way to root it! Thanks.
