in all your posts all sounds very simple, but to reinstall flash tool, at least to me it is simply impossible. When I get to instal B2C ... shows me error Connection. the whole process is blocked. But someone knows the solution '
[G2 General] pnr2020:
have you got it set to emergency on phone mode and 3GQCT there microsoft word file in folder with pics to show you how to set it up
[G2 General] bobsie41:
Delete the line you entered in the hosts file and remove everything you have done. Now start afresh in the correct order. Having administrator privilidges on your pc before you start is critical (google it). ;)
[G2 General] kitoii:
I'm getting the same thing, I wonder what's happening. This just started happening today. The other day I was able to flash the stock 4.2.2.
[G2 General] mila4me:
same problem here on windows 8 64 bit:( help pls
[G2 General] Fauert:
You and [MENTION=5432308]kitoii[/MENTION] need to follow the guide wery carefully, Delete all you have in respective folders , redownload files , unzip, make sure you run as adm., start all over... i tryed 7-8 times (with method 2) before success. It is a hard hurdle , but do NOT give up. :fingers-crossed:

This thread is NOT dead, believe me ....... :cool:
[G2 General] hyelton:
Oh god here we go with these posts.... Are you all NOT reading the OP...???!! If this thread was dead why are we still posting in it? Why would I gave updated the OP with a new method? Some of you are still using the old method which no longer works. You all must use the new method in the OP
[G2 General] Fauert:
It is sad, with all these ignorants who dont even read the OP. Thanks for your good work . :good:
[G2 General] noris08:
same here:crying:. any solution for windows 8.1? thank you!

it works ok on another pc with windows 7
[G2 General] afifrohiki:
When I click on the vbs file, ended up with this window.

anyone can help?
[G2 General] bobsie41:
You must have full administrator privilidges on your pc. Google it and put in place before you start the procedure.
[G2 General] noris08:
it seems that we are several people with that issue and it seems that we don't know how to add admin privileges (although i have them on my laptop).

instead of "use google", can someone post a step by step guide for windows 8.1 users of how to do things?

thank you!
[G2 General] hyelton:
First thing make sure its not your antivirus/firewall is not blocking it.
[G2 General] frankdewildt:
Yesterday I have installed the 4.4.2. HKG Rom but I want the EUR rom on my LG G2. Now I have tried different options to install the KDZ file but nothing helps. When I start the R&D Tool and start ''Upgrade'' then the LG Support Tool starts but I can't update. Can someone help me?
[G2 General] noris08:
nope, i disabled it and i still get the same message error related to admin privileges like other users said:(

last night i use your tutorial on another laptop with windows 7 with no problem, but today on my main laptop with windows 8.1 i always get the error message
[G2 General] bobsie41:
For windows 7 look here http://www.mytechguide.org/106/how-to-log-on-as-administrator-in-windows-7/

For windows 8/8.1 this should work http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753659.aspx
[G2 General] SquireSCA:
It seems that some of the carriers require specific drivers...

I got mine restored, reset and all that finally, but it doesn't reset the "rooted" flag in the "About Phone" section... I think that once that is tripped, it stays that way unless there is a special procedure specifically for that...
[G2 General] hyelton:
That is incorrect..... The only carrier that requires special or different drivers is ONLY Verizon. Also did you reset your phone before and after flashing? Flashing 100% takes away that rooted flag in about phone... Its been confirmed here several times.
[G2 General] SquireSCA:
Reset it before AND after? You mean do a hard reset now, then do the flashing, then reset it AGAIN? Didn't see that in the instructions but I can certainly try it.

Also, the only way to reset the VZW version seems to be in the OS itself. I can;t figure out how to power it down and then force it into the bootloader and do a wipe from there. In fact, I couldn't get into the bootloader at all. Even with TWRP, or QuickBoot when it was rooted. If you tried to reboot into bootloader it just rebooted the phone normally.

Either VZW has restricted access to it, or there is a different procedure to get there? Most phones you hold one of the volume keys and press power and you can access it. Not on this one...
[G2 General] hyelton:
Not sure about the Verizon one. But when resetting before and after it needs to NOT load up the OS so you need to reboot the phone using holding power and up. But it shouldn't have to be on the Verizon one as several people haven't had this issue
[G2 General] SquireSCA:
And there is the problem, I cannot reset it without booting into the OS. There is no way to directly get to the bootloader or stock recovery on this phone from VZW. I have tried everything. Never had this issue before on any of my 5 Android phones or my N7.
[G2 General] di3cbl:
Mod Edit: Ad referral links like adfly are not allowed
[G2 General] hyelton:
Those links don't work..... That's why I have a server which mirrors from lg servers That website is a thieve! As they are MAKING MONEY when people click on one of those links and in which 90% of them dont even work! The Person was asking for Three UK`s download. You provided them with a link to see an freaking AD, just for a dead link that does NOT work. Please Remove the LG-FIrmware website, I have also reported it to the mods. Thank You.
[G2 General] SquireSCA:
I think that VZW disabled access to it. I think that other people have not reported issues is because they didn't bother to check. They might have tried to do something that requires Root and it failed, so they assumed it was all ok. But to be honest, if they went into Settings>About Phone>Status, I am willing to bet that it still says "Rooted" under "Root Status"...

Anyone on VZW want to confirm?
[G2 General] robertpwn:
Works

Works great, thanks for the information.
[G2 General] SuperSport:
Where exactly does it show that? I've used this process, and I cannot find the ROOT flag anywhere. Maybe I'm just missing it? What tab are you looking at exactly?
[G2 General] SquireSCA:
VZW phone has a wonky procedure but I found it:

http://support.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/87344

---------- Post added at 11:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------

Settings, About Phone, then "Status" tab, and then about 3/4 down the page.

I think I figured out how to get the VZW phone to access the bootloader to reset from there, I will see if that helps. If it does, then the OP can update the guide...
[G2 General] SuperSport:
Thanks. I can confirm on my D800 that ROOT STATUS is not even in that menu. I'm assuming that means Root Flag has been erased.
[G2 General] SquireSCA:
Ok, with the VZW phone, just do a hard reset any way you want, do the flash process with the VZW specific USB drivers. When done it tries to reboot into the OS. Shut the phone down and power it off. Hold Vol Down and Power, as soon as you see the LG Logo, release and then immediately press the power button again. But keep the Vol Down pressed the entire time.

That pops up the Factory Reset via the bootloader, and when you wipe it there, it now says Unrooted in the OS under the tab I mentioned.

I think that only the VS980 has this, probably a stupid VZW thing to avoid warranty claims, where any monkey at a VZW store can check that to see if it is/was rooted without having to jump through hoops.

2. now R&D test tools appear please select KDZ File

3. select Normal web upgrade test

4. Select Upgrade start

5. In Select Country & Langauage Please Select Country to Different Country (do not worry if does not has Langauage to select )

6. Process Flashing firmware start...Please waiting just moment.

7. for process 100% you is finishing flash return to stock firmware

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm now on 4.2.2, can I use this method to update to 4.4.2 sir?
[G2 General] Fauert:
Yes , to flash KDZ files , yes ...:)
[G2 General] noris08:
one more thing

if you have a phone that at some point i time has been rooted, but now is stock, after flashing 4.4.2 over stock 4.2.2, is your status modified back to ROOTED? if yes, how would to cange back to normal?

thank you!
[G2 General] bobsie41:
I'm not sure about this yet but I suspect that flashing a kdz not specifically for your device will trigger the rooted flag and re-flashing the correct kdz will rectify this. I will not know for sure until my United Kingdom open kitkat kdz is available to download.

Still won't work

I still can't get it to work! I have been trying for 3 days now and can't figure out what it is I am doing wrong. On my windows 8 laptop I have done the steps over countless times already. With option 1 the Automatic Offline Procedure always throws me a error permission denied code 800A0046. I made sure I redownloaded everything and made sure I have admin permission but still nothing. Then option 2 everything goes great I get to the R&D Tool select my kdz.hit the start buttons but instead of country and language coming up like in the videos I just get the LG Tool. So I tried on my sons laptop with XP on it and everything does the same thing! Please anybody have some suggestions for me to try that I may be missing? Thanks

tell me from beginning wht uve done in method 2. bleve me I posted the same remark couple days ago but I got it. It was my antivirus program stopping me from editing the host file. I feel thrs just one SMALL step ur missin
[G2 General] jrsfalcons:
First of all thanks for answering me and trying to help me out.

Ok so first I downloaded the files in the OP 1-1.4 then I went to windows/system32/drivers/etc/ and open the host file with notepad. I added the line 127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com to the way bottom. I had to do this on the desktop then transfer the file to the right folder and deleted the old host file. Then I installed the msxml file. I start http and make sure I run as admin. I turn on Windows Enabler. I start StartUpTestEX as admin. I select my kdz file and click the normal web upgrade button then upgrade start. It loads then when it finishes the LG Mobile Support Tool comes up and doesn't do anything so I close it and thats it. Nothing ever happens from there. I make sure I am running as admin and made sure I didnt hve any viruses blocking.
[G2 General] bobsie41:
You ran B2Capp setup.exe before you edited the hosts file of course??
[G2 General] airvag:
My problem started when I tried to update my LG G2 D8002 to the latest Cyanogenmod Kitkat Snapshop and i stuck in clockworkmod recovery loop after returning in CWM to take backup. I tried to connect it to my Laptop but i cannot have any access in my files via my laptop. I tried to restore in other backup versions that i have already in my device and the same thing it happens. Do you have any idea?

The LG g2 recognized in the device manager with exclamation mark. (!)

Everything is on C:\programdata path. Perhaps it is better to do any job from ADB? I stuck in CWM and in the installation in the Windows 8.1 in the LG Mobile Support Tool (photo). I am waiting any additional help.
[G2 General] hj1028:
Is this necessary in order for the process to be completed?
[G2 General] bobsie41:
I think this is quite important. Others know more about it than I do and I am sure somebody will clarify this very shortly.
[G2 General] noris08:
ok, i am back, but with good news:D

for people with windows 8/8.1 who get the permissions error message, after doing all steps from 1 to 5, you should go to windows/system32/drivers/etc/, find hosts file and give it full control.

to do that right click on it, go to properties, choose security tab and from there allow full access.

after that you can normally proceed with method 1.

good luck!
[G2 General] mathieuj:
To allow full access you must choose "all packages of applications" and then modify, and once everything checked there is a safety message.

This safety message is not dangerous for the computer to check all access?

Or so after flashing the KDZ must uncheck all access the Hosts file?

Thank you.
[G2 General] Filgaliel:
I´ve tried both methods and both fail.. I´m on windows 8.1

Method 1 fails on step 1. Windows script host give me "permission denied" with code 800A0046.

On method 2 I´m not able to save anything to the host file, even if it has full access..
[G2 General] noris08:
i don't really know:angel:. i have no ideea how these permissions works, maybe someone with more pc knowledge can explain better.

i just posted what i found out to work for method 1 on windows 8.1

how about to read just 2 posts above yours?:D
[G2 General] Filgaliel:
That was the last thing I tried before posting.. Didnt work.

Edit: Using method 2.. When doing this (7. Start UpTestEX_mod2_marwin) Nothing happens.. ?
[G2 General] jrsfalcons:
I did that but still after putting in kdz file and selecting normal web upgrade and upgrade start only the LG Tool comes up but no language country box.I also made sure I ran the host file as admin for method 1 like someone sugggested. On method 1 after selecting the Automatic Offline Prcedure VBS file I still get this

i'm using AOSB ROM and dorimanx kernel. anyone can help??? :(
[G2 General] noris08:
if you refer to me, that is not what i said;)

i said to change permissions of the host file to full access for your user.

after some more tests i found out that full acces is not necessary and is enough to give read&execute, read and write permissions:)

Stuck on installing B2CAppSetup.exe

it says I need internet connection, regardless I already connected to internet.

- already forwarded port 9002 as virtual server on my router.

What are the other tricks so I can successfully install it ?

You mean 4.4 or 4.2? Because I tried 4.2 many times, it always ends at this error and 4.4 i´m having right now.
[G2 General] ArcOnFire:
Well, I already ran the .exe, tried to install the USB driver and modem driver... and what else I need to complete here to be considered "installed" ?

I still got the same error message (please install csmg b2c client tool) even after installing both drivers.

Yes, I also already replaced the content in C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX with the one supplied in OP.

When I click "Install USB Driver", it downloads ~14MB files then

1. Installs LG United Mobile Driver (I removed my newer one 3.10.1 and replaced with this version, 3.8.1)

2. Open a zip file containing ModemlinkDUNDriver (I already installed it)

3. Open a zip file containing LGWindowsMobile_USBDriver (I already installed it)

After that installation finishes.

Did I miss anything?

Anyway, my current status is:

- Can't go into download mode (holding vol up and connecting micro USB will bring me to CWM bootloop)

- My device can be detected via adb devices if I turn on -> stuck in CWM -> connect to USB

- But LG Mobile Support tool is unable to detect my LG G2

Any idea what went wrong?

Hoping someone will be able to help here. Trying to run this on Windows (both this technique and another), when I hit the "Upgrade Start Button" it just opens the Mobile Support Tool to the screen you get when you first open and install the program? I don't get to language select.

Before Flashing / Before unrooting

Hi there! I want to unroot my unit for the sake of warranty. I just want to know if it is safe to use the updated stock rom (kitkat d80220a) than my current stock d80210b. I just want to unroot but I want to use the latest and updated stock rom available. Im from Philippines and the update is being rolled out last day. The fimware is already available too.

Do i need to undergo hard reset first? What more do i need to know first?

Sounds very much like my device. With the difference that I got bootlop. No download mode possible, but I can get into CWM using the Power and Vol- combination. But how to go back to stock from here? I can flash ROMs but afterwards I´m still stuck in bootloop.
[G2 General] Soured Lie:
OP needs to amend and clarify a few things:

If you are on windows 8, give complete permissions to host etc.

What settings need to be chosen in the tool (ie emergency, diag, and so on), this needs to be crystal clear, I could get nowhere until I chose emergency mode, whereas if I chose nothing or chose diag, I was stuck at 49% indefinitely.

Whether anything needs to be ran as admin or not, I ran into a few issues and could not move forward. I kept having errors saying I needed to upgrade the tool even though I had done so.

This thread and many other threads are just going to keep perpetuating the same issues over and over and bleed everywhere until OP makes all of this clear. Sure you can call people a noob, or ask if they had followed the rest of the thread, but it's really cumbersome to wallow through this many pages of frustrated members to find something that is not clearly stated or obvious. It's RTFM, not read 300 pages of sh*t to MAYBE catch a drift.

Somebody could surely help with the language barrier and maybe edit the OP so that it is clear and palatable.

I'm sorry, but this is a major lack of order and is just such a mess. Like I said, mods should temp shut it down until it's clear (my opinion, maybe it doesn't carry much weight, maybe I am late to the party, whatever...)
