24A is your software version not model. 26A is just a newer firmware. Just use the tot method :) I'd suggest flashing a Verizon based stock rom first. Or if you try and flash a VS980 stock based rom like a debloated one (cloudy is a D802 rom which works on other models but based on D802) If you exsperance any issues on that then its most likely a hardware problem.
[G2 General] DSinOR:
OK. Thanks, I'll try it.

I hope it's not hardware. I like this phone.

Recommend any known stable stock based roms?

Thx!
[G2 General] hyelton:
Sorry no clue just something that is based off the stock firmware will be good. Stock meaning based on your actual model. And yeah the G2 is a great phone!
[G2 General] evasi0n:
after "start" it says the connection to the server failed...

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

it says

connection to server failed

try again in a moment

and behind it stopped (not working, it stop and there's "Retry" button)
[G2 General] shipiloff69:
Used the TOT method described in this thread and everything worked
[G2 General] evasi0n:
so I guess I have to use TOT method... Do I need another file or the KDZ I have for the first method will do?

is so - what file exactly?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Connection to server failed is NORMAL. Make sure your moving it out of the way and not clicking retry as that will cancel flash.

Your using a USB 2.0 port correct?(
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yes you would use a tot file.
[G2 General] evasi0n:
I did the TOT with file 32gb from d802TOT with the second dll you proived and it worked!

thanks!!

this is fresh install, right?
[G2 General] talvigi:
I was upgrading a device and encountered same problem. Later I came to know phone's USB port was faulty
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yeah all factory and fresh :)
[G2 General] evasi0n:
sadly, after this I rooted with IOroot25r and then install TWRP using AutoRec and then it stuck in booting in green led and I try wiping in TWRP and after that it stucked in LG logo and then I try this tutorial again and it stuck in 95% with FAIL.

now the device just booting into twrp :(

any ideas?

---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

it says "USB Port open FAIL"... in 94% I'm guessing it because after restart it boots into TWRP and not download mode so the pc doesn't recognize it (Im using usb0.2 OEM cable... exactly as before as this method worked) :(
[G2 General] hyelton:
Reboot PC? Phone is in download mode when you try right? Also double check to make sure com port is still com41 in device manager?
[G2 General] evasi0n:
yes it com41 it goes until 94%...

yes I can get it in download mode but in the process of the flash it reboot the device and it goes into TWRP and the flash FAIL

It keeps booting into TWRP now and I dont have ROM on the device to flash through TWRP..

I'm devastating :crying:

---------- Post added at 03:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

now in 94% it goes to "FBOOT check" and then FAIL because "Fail to get BOOT complete status" :(
[G2 General] hyelton:
Whats the model of your phone?
[G2 General] evasi0n:
d802.

I opened a new thread, this is the full info:
[G2 General] hyelton:
Did you try choosing board_dl on the tot selection screen?
[G2 General] evasi0n:
No, just Upgrade DL as your guide says..

should I try BOARD DL?
[G2 General] talvigi:
Your device should reboot before you reach 90% and when you reach 95% it means your installation is successful and if your device is not booting properly after stock firmware install, it means either your model differ from the firmware or it has been a bad download or you are I my situation and have lost your laf and efs partitions. [MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION] is guru here you should listen and follow him.

If you can properly boot into twrp, why don't you try installing a recovery flashable zip file (there are complete firmwares available in the forum)
[G2 General] evasi0n:
it doesnt differ because I used that firmware earlier...

what to do if laf and efs partiotions are gone? (I have efs backup)

---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

because my pc doesnt recognize the device so I cant move zip to the device
[G2 General] talvigi:
Ask hyelton but I think there is a thing efs2recovery or laf2recovery at www.codefi.re or something like that (I am sorry I have a very bad memory)

There are tools like LG laf recovery Multitool v1.2 and also EFS professional 2.1.80 they may also help.

Use any otg USB they are cheap and available every where

Hyelton is here now and he can better guide you. He is the man of the house
[G2 General] evasi0n:
thanks, I'll wait for [MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION] for software solutions first..

what is that OTG? what exactly should I need to buy? and what to do? just transfer the zip on it and then flash it using TWRP? please give me link for something that will work with LG G2 so I can search items alike...

thanks!!
[G2 General] hyelton:
Sorry no clue if it's a laf partition problem never messed with it in person there's a few threads around in it though.

An otg cable Makes it to where you can plug a flash drive into your phone.

On twrp if you mount USB storage can you see in on your computer??
[G2 General] evasi0n:
what you mean "mount USB"? how do I do that?

update: I tried BOARD DL and now it stuck on LG LOGO but the led is flashing also, contrary to before that there were no flash led and it just stuck on LG..

Is that helping..?
[G2 General] hyelton:
In twrp for it to show up on your computer you have to mount it

How long have you gave it? If it's sitting on the logo for more than 5 min something somewhere is still wrong. But there goes the chance with twrp though
[G2 General] evasi0n:
and apparently now there "internal storage" , it was 0MB before!!!

now it's 25262 MB!!
[G2 General] hyelton:
So the phone booted now?
[G2 General] evasi0n:
in "mount" in "twrp" you mean? in there there are 4 things: system, data,cache,usb-otg, and just data and cache are marked.. what to do for USB mount?

also, earlier when I tried BOARD DL there was a window that it installed drivers for LG, as though i reconized it but the device didnt appear :(
[G2 General] hyelton:
TWRP has a Button that says "mount" unless its been changed then it would be usb-otg.

What about your other post? Did the phone boot?
[G2 General] evasi0n:
no it stuck in LG logo but the led is flashing... this is an advancement from before that just LG logo was there or the twrp booted right away.

I meant the 2562MB was in TWRP, that's where I saw that...

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

so I need to change in "mount" just to "usb-otg"? and then it should appear or I need to reboot?

thanks! It looks like we almost solved this!

---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

It doesn't let me check usb-org when it connected to the pc :(
[G2 General] hyelton:
So you still have TWRP?
[G2 General] hyelton:
You'll need an OTG cable then. And a flash drive. But that still won't gurerntee fixing it, it's just the next step
[G2 General] evasi0n:
what should I buy exactly? otg cable? why flash drive? there something in one-item, no?

why won't it solve the problem? I can transfer on it the zip and then flash it regualry, no?

thanks
[G2 General] hyelton:
Theres plenty to choose from. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=OTG+cable Because just a plain cable does not hold any storage, you put the files you want to flash on the flash drive which you would then plug into the OTG cable. You prob have a flash drive laying around somewhere.

Because wont know til its tried.. Meaning if it doesnt work theres much worse problem. Or if you know how to use adb you can try and sideload a file.
[G2 General] evasi0n:
there some that they come with storage, will they be ok?

like this ?

I will be able to buy only the day after tomorrow, so I'm gonna be without phone 2 days :(
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yeah, the 64GB will be way excessive unless you plan to use it to store data. The 8GB will be fine. But this wont be guaranteed to fix the problem, it may or may not work.
[G2 General] evasi0n:
I just brought this as example, I want to know if Im buying something that will work and TWRP will recognized it as otg-usb..

I saw in other threads that this should work..

I'll update.

many thanks for trying to help!

[G2 General] BlushMaq:
I own a D800 ATT lg g2.I had flashed Google edition ROM that was meant for D802 with compatibility patch but something went terribly wrong. Now I am only left with download mode alone(recovery does not work either) so I decided to flash stock KitKat using LG flashtool.But at last step it gave device check error something like 'cross check [D802]' I tried both the DLL files that is original and the special one but same error persists. I am dying to see this phone alive please help me out.

[G2 General] hyelton:
You'll need to use an hex editor to edit the tot file. To make it think it's a D802 tot
[G2 General] BlushMaq:
Could you please explain in detail what should I edit specifically?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Try flashing using this DLL first see if that works, http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2473543&d=1387955530
[G2 General] BlushMaq:
I tried this one too but nothing seems to work for me.I guess I am left only with the 'hex editor trick'.

worked perfectly

I transferd cloudyG3 2.2 and installed

thanks
[G2 General] talvigi:
Well that's great I knew you would end up with this as I did and know you can again return to stock if you want to anytime and by the way are you sure your device's original model is the one you are familiar with?
[G2 General] fatboypup:
just how I wanted to start my weekend with a soft brick glad this is here for help cant wait to get this thing back up

Cause it was still uploading., its working now. :)
[G2 General] penone1130:
Life saver!

Thanks to the OP for this fix.

Had TWRP and was rooted on stock and got the option for the Sprint update. I was under the impression that with Temp Unroot checked in SuperUser it would allow me to update with no problem but was wrong.

Followed the instructions for Sprint / ATT and was up and running in 15 minutes.

Sent a lil sumpin sumpin your way!
[G2 General] hyelton:
Thank you so much! Happy Early Christmas :) I`ll put people who donate in the OP :)
[G2 General] piedra92:
When I click on the link the only item listed is a sprint file that is 0kb in size. Am I missing something? The mirror site doesn't have the Sprint file either. I am desperate at this moment please help.
[G2 General] hyelton:
You have to CLICK on that link that says that... Some files SAY 0kb but its the whole file. When you click to download it, It will show the correct size
[G2 General] nilesd:
thanks for getting this backup quickly. it worked perfect. all I can say about my phone is "IT'S ALIVE!!"... and donations sent. :good:
[G2 General] hyelton:
The donations are greatly appreciated! All the donations received go Directly to my VPS/Server Bill which helps me a lot.
[G2 General] piedra92:
Thanks for your patience. I click on the file and the only thing I get is to download ODM setup. Did that but still no download. Have tried several times to no avail. Sometimes the Im stuck just trying to connect to the download site. Thanks in advance for all of your help.
[G2 General] hyelton:
I think something is being done incorrectly..Maybe? What is "ODM setup"? I Just downloaded the entire file at around 30 seconds and it extracted no problem see screenshot.
[G2 General] gbear718:
On stock 10o. can I use this method to get back to 10b for rooting purposes? im not rooted at the moment.
[G2 General] piedra92:
It took awhile but I am finally downloading the zip file (2.1 Gb correct?). Where do I find the flashtool dll for the sprint version? The link above has the ATT dll and I see a Verizon DLL but no Sprint DLL.
[G2 General] hyelton:
The Sprint DLL is in the zip file your downloading.
[G2 General] penone1130:
When I did it it was part of the 2gb zip file you are now downloading.
[G2 General] piedra92:
Thank you, thank you, thank you. You have helped lift a great burden off of my shoulders. Will definitely create a dvd backup of these files for future use. Hope you enjoy your holidays, and will def be sending you something later to help with the server costs.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yay! Seems to be a lot of successful flashing good luck today :)

lg g2 d800 at&t
[G2 General] hyelton:
Okay then follow the AT&T Guide lol. Go back to that and click the link and redownload flash tool thats there.
[G2 General] jonathan4tw:
What do I do if it doesn't start flashing automatically?
[G2 General] hyelton:
A Few NEW UPDATES TO THE OP!

Updated the AT&T/Sprint/Verizon Guide! With Correct Links. How were y`all flashing your sprint devices back to stock this morning? The links under the AT&T guide were pointing to the incorrect flashtool (I though) lol. Were Y`all using a another guide?
[G2 General] evasi0n:
yes I'm sure, this is probably because something I wiped...

btw: is it safe to remove "sideload.zip" from the device now? it just sits there taking 1.25GB...
[G2 General] talvigi:
Yes you can now delete it. It's not needed now, but just keep a back for future use I suggest

Flashtool 2014 Problem

Hello All,

I'm using LG G2 since two years and used LG flash tool 2014 may times to flash KDZ files one year ago (on Win 7 and Win 8 Computers).

But before one week I decided to flash a new ROM and tried to use flash tool 2014 again as I did before. But this time many strange things happened.

1. If I use "Normal Flash" button, I can flash KDZ for the first time on a computer but I cannot use same computer for the second time. It even does not start just checks the system and says "There is another program running". I'm not sure if it changes registery or sth like that.

2. I tried Win 10 and Win 8 and FlashTool Build 3 and Build 2, nothing changed, same problem.

3. If I use "CSE Flash" option I get messages full of Question Marks (??????)

4. Once I used "CSE Flash", messages full of question marks popped up on computer screen and then the program crashed and closed on computer. But when I looked into the screen of the phone I saw It was continuing to load... So I waited & prayed. Soon it restarted and everyting was OK.

I tried to explain above, I cannot use LG Flash Tool 2014 to flash KDZ files any more... I have one more computer running on Win 7, I have not tried it yet, I will use it as a last chance. Is there anyone there who can explain what is wrong.

I googled around but could not find anyone else who experienced similar problems, I'm open for any help, waiting for your comments.

Thanks in advance
[G2 General] hyelton:
Always use CSE to flash. Using normal not wiping can cause problems. Those ???? Marks happened when you haven't set a language. And it's prob just saying connection to server failed which is normal and phone will continue to flash.
[G2 General] dibidibi:
Hi again,

After your message I tried it once more;

1. I reinstalled the phone drivers as it stated here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53313255&postcount=5400

2. Although it is told that LG Mobile Support Tool is no more needed with build 3, I installed it.

3. Although it is told that Default language is set to English in Build 3, I left the country as Korea but selected language as English.

4. OK, the firmware update began but then on computer screen it gave a message: "Connection Failed" but the phone was going on the process.

5. I closed popup error window in computer screen but did not unplug the phone from computer till it finished the process. Also I did not close main program window on computer till the phone ends the process

At the end My phone is updated to Lollipop 5.0.2 but I'm afraid to load TWRP and root. I think I'll live with the stock firmware forever because I'm really afraid to use this damn Flash Tool any more.
[G2 General] silentattack:
I get stuck at %2 while flashing stock kdz file. I have tried so many things like removing all the LG stuff on PC or trying different cables including the original one or even formatting the PC.

I also get an error while installing "LG Mobile Support Tool". I attached a screenshot of the error.

PS: I wiped everything(system, data, cache) on TWRP before begin to flash. I can't enter the TWRP now because of the stupid TWRP theme. It keeps restarting on starting screen of TWRP.

I really runned out of ideas. Any help will be so much appreciated..
[G2 General] Soufiansky:
I had the same issue when i had this phone , the only method that worked for me is .tot method , in my opinion it's the best one and it always worked for me.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Try another computer?
[G2 General] silentattack:
You are definitely right my friend. The tot method worked and funny thing is after i opened the phone on 4.2.2 i tried the kdz method to upgrade to lollipop "it worked." I guess the issue was i wiped all..

Solved it mate as i describe above. Thanks anyway. :)
[G2 General] Soufiansky:
Happy for you :)
[G2 General] iopdop:
For those wondering about Mac OS X/Linux support, I was successfully able to revert to stock using a VM (VirtualBox) via:

1. Install VirtualBox _and_ VirtualBox Extension Pack

2. Create a XP SP3 VM

3. In Settings > Ports > USB, enable USB 2.0

4. Put phone in download mode

5. Add a USB filter for the phone ("LGE Android Phone")

6. Continue with guide

Enabling USB 2.0 support and adding a filter were key. I used the TOT method, but I can't imagine why the KDZ method wouldn't work as well.

problem after flasshing via .tot

dear after flashing via .tot method my lg d802 screen goes white and black please help me nothing shows
[G2 General] hyelton:
Are you sure you have a D802?? Issues like that are either hardware or you flashed the wrong model firmware.
[G2 General] babar2806:
my model is ls 980 on battery

LG csmg tool shows that this is d802

and imei number tracing shows that is d800

and i flash d-802 tot file
[G2 General] hyelton:
Well you clearly don't have a D802. You'll need to take it a apart some and figure out the actual model.
[G2 General] babar2806:
how can i clarify which model i have..??
[G2 General] hyelton:
You'll need to look on the actual motherboard of the phone
[G2 General] talvigi:
Well you will need to open your device physically and unscrew the main board, turn it upsidedown and see near the camera filling of the board there is the model number of your device. And from there you'll know what model you actually have and then flash the original firmware for that. That simpl it is, isn't it?
[G2 General] babar2806:
dear the actual model is Ls980
[G2 General] hyelton:
Then you would flash an LS980 tot file and edit the tot file with an hex editor to D802 so it will flash
[G2 General] babar2806:
i tried that but in-vain

when i load that tot an error comes

previousloadfailed

You need to replace the TOT file using board_dl on the TOT /dll selection screen
[G2 General] babar2806:
i cant understand dear plzz

Which TOT for LGD800

Hi, I'm trying to put stock firmware into my LGD800 by following your guide before I send it to LG for warranty work (wifi/bluetooth won't turn on). I'm not even sure if it is necessary to do so. Anyways, I'm going to use TOT but I see two zip files:

LGD800AT-01-V10d-310-410-AUG-14-2013.zip

LGD800AT-01-V10o-310-410-OCT-19-2013.zip

and another tot file in "KitKat TOT/" folder

LGD800AT-01-V20c-310-410-FEB-02-2014+0.tot

So which one should I pick or it doesn't matter? Thanks.

Trying the tot method.

It always fails/disconnects around 15%. After that it just opens up a ton of drives that needs to be formatted.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Youll have to something else first before you can flash your device as you have a soft brick currently
[G2 General] GetPatriotized:
So what do I flash? Which file?
[G2 General] hyelton:
You don't flash any file. There's a unbrick guide in the general section.
