Thank You!

This still works in 2020 for my G2. Using it as a backup after breaking my Pixel XL, waiting on my Pixel 5. I was unable to perform a factory reset on this refurb G2. Got the Demigod error as well as a constant nagging error in the UI related to the Contacts app.
[G2 General] Marlewuk:
Hi, I've recently decided to put my partner's LG G2 to use, which has barely been used since I bought it years ago.

It was working perfectly fine, however the family link wasn't compatible with kit kat, so I decided to update it to lollipop.

That's where the problems started... After flashing the rom, the touch screen isn't working correctly - any touches are way off the mark.

I've spent days on this, flashed various ROMs, used different cables without success.

Can anyone provide any assistance please?

The phone is not rooted, and is an international LG G2 32gb from Hong Kong (purchased via eBay)
[G2 General] hyelton:
Sorry about that. Ocean Host link is fixed. The security certificate expired and has been fixed.

Can't speak for other sites but some virus alerts for these tools are false positive. Chrome will almost always complain when downloading any.dll file

@hyelton , thank you for fixing the links at Oceanhost.eu👍

Hi folks!

i own a LG G2 from T-Mobile Germany. I tried this de-branding method with the europe open D80210a kdz file. After flashing and hard reset, the software build version is displayed as D80210a-262-01, but i think it should be D80210a-EUR-XX?

Does this meam that there is no possibility to flash a different ROM onto a LG which is coming from a provider? I also tried different Roms, same result. e.g. D80210e Germany Open, displayed as D80210e-262-01.

i have no clue what that means. Just trying to get rid of the provider branding and having a correct build onto my device. I appreciate any help regarding this issue.
[G2 General] :
did you follow exactly the steps or you checked additional check box something like "factory reset"?
[G2 General] fabyprado123:
I followed everything the way it should be, I tried it like 4 times and every one of them I get that message :/ my phone reboots and goes to stock but its just that at the program it shows that error after waiting for reset 120 sec.
[G2 General] :
well if the phone is ok, then you should be ok too :D.. like its trying to do factory reset, but fails (that's why I asked if you checked one of the options to reset)
[G2 General] fabyprado123:
It seems to be running fine but i was worried, what if I had to do another required step or something. I was also worried that what if it didnt delete what was there before and stock was runnning on top of another rom/stock or something. I dont think i checked a factory reset box ?
[G2 General] blueturtles:
Followed the steps on my International version LG G2 when I received a "license error" when I tred to flash CM 10.2 on it but I am unable to extract the KDZ file while I'm running it. Below is the Update process log:

Launching SW update

Unpacking KDZ

KDZ file extraced

extract file error

===FINISHED===

can anyone help? I'm completely new to this

EDIT: turns out that I was running the wrong tool. Got it running but when it gets to 40 odd percent there's this USB disconnect error and the whole process terminates. What am I doing wrong?
[G2 General] MaGnOlia88:
Will this process wipe internal storage?

I didn't find an exatcly answer... I need my sdcard data and I have no current backup.

Is it possible to backup via twrp, flash stock, root, install twrp und restore the backuped recovery without loosing any data?

[G2 General] l33t p1mp:
Figured it out last night. Thank you!
[G2 General] xblackvalorx:
Does this remove custom recovery?
[G2 General] hlucky:
Hi there,

Before I do the return to stock, after I downloaded all file needed, on the OP at number 6 for the country you put Republic of Korea. I'm in Canada should I change it or leave Korea?

Thanks.
[G2 General] DidierFiguera:
ATT LG G2 possible fix

For everyone using d800 who can only access download mode, here is how I got into recovery menu.

First I got the phone into a state where the screen is completely black with no LED blinking or LG logo. I don't know the exact key combination to get there but I kept pressing and holding the volume down and power key till it was completely black. After it was completely black I did the normal key combination to get into recovery and it worked. After that I did a factory reset and advance wipe and that allowed me to install any ROM. Sorry if its no a step by step or clear guide.
[G2 General] Fieser-Kardinal:
Does no one has a hint for this?:crying:
[G2 General] :
no, it should not be EUR-XX it will stay same as previous, but you shouldn't have operator branding anymore if you flashed Open Europe..
[G2 General] Fieser-Kardinal:
Thanks for making this clear. Does that also mean that EUR-XX OTA's will not be received by this device as it stays on provider build?
[G2 General] :
I only guess so, I am in the same boat as you.. anyway if you root, no OTA.
[G2 General] hyelton:
It does not really matter what you choose.
[G2 General] hyelton:
It does not really matter..

1. If you root its not gonna get ota anyway

2. If your not running what game with the phone and or your carrier has a different model number in there system for your imei it won't work. Its LG. Its not like Samsung the OTA updates only really work on stock what actually came with your phone.
[G2 General] hlucky:
Thanks!
[G2 General] thiagofbrito:
Is it possible to downgrade with this method?
[G2 General] :
yes. be sure to factory reset after
[G2 General] its-so-cool:
Bricked?

I've wanted to leave custom roms and start with international d802. After following all the steps - I'm stuck with boot loop with LG animation. Then I have tried to recover the firmware through LG Mobile Support Tool. No luck either. Boot loop at my operator's animation, again :/

Guys, have you gut any idea how to solve that problem?
[G2 General] blakeatl:
Downloading so slooooow. Grateful for the files but it's taking close to 4 hours to download.
[G2 General] sanke1:
I have Indian G2 with 10C ROM. If I wanted to try out 10E German ROM, will it get OTA if I find it to be stable and if I never root it?
[G2 General] alucard8888:
Have you tried to factory reset after?
[G2 General] blakeatl:
I have a question about the dll file that's for the AT&T version. I have Sprint but there's no mention if I should or shouldn't use the AT&T dll with it.
[G2 General] hyelton:
No you use the sprint DLL and sprint tot
[G2 General] fcardona86:
Hey I had this same issue.

I was on buckeye rom with the T-Mobile variant.

Here's how I got it back to unrooted status.

1. follow all of the steps in this post to unroot. When you are done, you will still be on buckeye rom.

2. Reset back to factory (wipes everything) using the power off > power on holding volume down and power button > as soon as you see LG logo let go and rehold Power and volume down. You will see a factory reset screen. Do the factory reset.

3. Follow all of the steps in the post to unroot again.

After that you should see UNROOTED as the status in download mode (or UNROOT, i forget).
[G2 General] blakeatl:
This tutorial is awesome! I knew my phone wasn't bricked but nothing else I tried would fix the issue. Only THIS one worked.

Thanks a lot dude!

how did you get it to work i keep gettin wrong model name check phone or dll
[G2 General] Leiji:
If i get 49% error, my phone is bricker or can i fix that?

My G2 still stock ROM, only rooted and Twrp
[G2 General] lewthejew:
For any having issues stuck at 49% still I also solved that issue by going into advanced in my recovery and formatting system. My phone works again!
[G2 General] sanke1:
I

do not

suggest to format the system as if by chance it also erases your all important EFS folder, you will have a brick and without EFS backup, you are so out of luck.

The only way out of 49% error is to erase System, Cache, Data and Dalvik Cache from TWRP or CWM recovery.
[G2 General] coliseu:
Format the system works for me too. Tks
[G2 General] xmustangx:
how can u do ?

the problem is ...my phone has twrp but when i go to it through the factory reset it does this open recoveryscript ..and then boots to fastboot again,...no matter how many times i try to go to twrp..it just restarts..and i can only go to download mode...and when i try flashin a kdz it brings the 49% error..i think for ppl like my problem..my mobile is gone for good:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Problem with tools.

Running Windows 7 64 bit +SP1 on two different computer, and was trying to get back to stock on d805.

Download D80510A_00.kdz

and when trying to start the flash, got cab file error.

After using other tools to extract kdz, such as LGExtract having problem with the cab file. LGExtact and UpTestExe exctacted file from kdz to cab, but then i cannot open cab file. Was trying using UpTestEX_mod2_marwin same problem.

then downloaded several files as for d802 ( i was thinking that original file was corrupted) got the same result.

Is there a way to verify if my root tripper was reset or not
[G2 General] StlGucci:
Cant get to it. Every time I try to open backup/storage to do it. It crashes. But no worries got a free replacement on its way :)
[G2 General] sanke1:
After you went back to stock successfully, do a factory reset.

To check root status after that, Power off the phone. Press up volume button and plug in the usb cable connected to a computer. (Enter download mode) It will show there if the phone is rooted or unrooted.
[G2 General] kalifay1:
Perfect

Worked like a charm. thank you so much! :good: :fingers-crossed: :good:

Hey, I've been stuck in fastboot mode and was hoping this would let me reset things, but I can't seem to get the phone to do anything but reboot in to download mode (Can't even get it to turn off, it turns right back on...). The usual fastboot recovery flashing isn't helping either.
[G2 General] hyelton:
This guide requires you to be in download mode. Whats the problem with going to download mode?
[G2 General] ColdCandor:
I can't get there is the problem :( Something went wrong with my attempt to install Cyanogen Mod and the phone boot into fastboot mode. Since then, nothing I have done has let me boot into any other mode, including trying to hold volume up and while plugging in the cable. I can't even get the phone to turn *off*, any press-and-hold approach just automatically reboots it.

Anyone have another place to download the stock AT&T .kdz? It looks like it will take a over 6 hours from the current site.

Try pasting this into the address bar, w/ your phone's IMEI number directly after the = sign...

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=

... then copy / paste the URL w/ the *.kdz extension into your address bar to retrieve the file.

Alternative method to download Stock Firmware

[G2 General] mathieuj:
Thank you very much for what you have done!

Everything worked great on my LG G2 D802.

Thank you and Merry Christmas! :D
[G2 General] hyelton:
Please check your connection. Storagecow is hosted on a server with a gigabit connection and its no where near slow on the right connection it can download in a minute.. Remember these files are huge. And try using a download manager. But its certainly NOT the link. Also what .kdz ? There's not an kdz for AT&T

This is NO where near slow lol
[G2 General] hyelton:
This is already known..... That's not useful to the person. That's for kdzs only.... AT&T uses tot and this method is NOT possible for that person... Also LG servers are most of the time overloaded. My links and also the mirror link is a LOT faster than LGs server. And a lot of the time there no longer work too. So I advise against this method unless the firmware your wanting is not on my server or the mirror link.
[G2 General] hyelton:
It has to reboot whenever it boots into download mode when it reboots continue holding down the combination or try doing it with the usb plugged in.
[G2 General] ColdCandor:
Oh, progress! My phone turned itself off overnight (ran out of battery perhaps?), and I was finally FINALLY able to get it to boot into download mode. Now, however, it's just sitting there on "Firmware Update" blah blah "Do not unplug" blah blah "0%". And it hasn't changed for 5 minutes. I was having trouble with the LG drivers on this computer and switched to the Koush Universal drivers last night, which worked, but I'm wondering if they don't work for this mode. If it hasn't started anything, am I going to break things if I unplug, try the other drivers, reboot the computer, and plug the phone back in?

Edit: 20 minutes, no change. I'm assuming at this point nothing is going to be accomplished leaving it alone. I'm just not sure what approach to take next...
[G2 General] hyelton:
Try and redownload the drivers in the OP and try and redownload the kdz or tot whatever you need again.
[G2 General] rfarrah:
We appreciate your work on this. I don't suppose you'd have just the stock recovery for VS980 in a zip format would you?
[G2 General] samthu:
Thanks

Thanks a lot for this mod. I had accidentally erased the system and my phone was dead now everything is back to normal:laugh:.
[G2 General] ColdCandor:
Well, that was strange and scary and at no point did I really have any idea I was hitting the right buttons, and at the end it said it failed... BUT it rebooted me into a fresh install, apparently even unrooted! So thanks so much for this guide! My problems along the way appear to have entirely been related to actually getting the phone *into* download mode since I couldn't get it to actually turn off. Once it ran itself out of battery and turned off, I was able to enter download mode while reconnecting it to power.
[G2 General] UppermostKhan:
Wrong dll
[G2 General] hyelton:
Wrong DLL for what? Your not explain anything.
[G2 General] kozmikkick:
I've solved the page error as well as the occasional device model incorrect error. If you have this issue I've attached the LGUP_8974.dll try using this dll instead of the phone for your device if you have any of these errors.

This worked on my lgd800 at&t model. I was stuck because of a bad aosp flash and it would error out when trying to restore stock. This DLL solved my problem.

Just thought I'd share :)

[G2 General] GizmoKaca:
Hold down the power button until the phone powers off. Make sure that the phone is not charging or plugged in via usb as you won't be able to enter recovery mode via the physical buttons if it is. Now press and hold both the volume down and power button at the same time until the LG logo shows up the first time. When you see the logo let go of the buttons and then immediately press and hold the volume down and power button again until it says Factory Reset. Don't worry about this as it won't actually delete anything if you have TWRP installed. Now just press the power button three times and you will get into TWRP recovery without wiping anything. Now you can wipe your device and flash another rom or whatever you need to get yourself back up and running again :) Hope this helps!

Edit: Exactly the same issue after trying to revert to stock, even down to the "USB Port Open FAIL!".. I'm guessing this is because it reboots every 20-30 seconds. At least I got all my files off from under CWM with ADB.
