KDZ method was a big fail for me. Got stuck at 2% for a few days. Then stumbled on this post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2754897) who did exactly what I did to brick his device. I followed his method (TOT) and it worked on the first try. The key difference between that guide and this guide is that there is a link to the D803 TOT file
[G2 General] bpun:
Thanks

Thanks to OP, I've successfully restore my D803 via kdz method.
[G2 General] Shahzaib124:
Kdz method

i tried to flash my phone via KDZ method it had completed 100% on the phone but after that it restarted and is stuck on the download mode without even pressing the volume up key
[G2 General] hyelton:
Reboot the phone? If it went to 100% then its done.
[G2 General] Shahzaib124:
the flash completed on the phone but the lg flash tool crashed halfway
[G2 General] Togglebg:
The pictures for step 5 of KDZ method seem to be gone.
[G2 General] hyelton:
I'm going to say this as I said it a few posts ago lol. The pictures are Not needed.. :)

And just a little update,

The pictures may not show up for some people due to DNS changing and I've been moving around files on mg server.

And there's no point in adding them back yet as I have revised a few parts of my guide I plan to add in soon when I get the spare time. I might get to tonight idk woke up to a spider bite today so ill see how this goes.
[G2 General] Soufiansky:
I replaced my Verizon G2 and tooked the international version.

It is better and i'm happy with it :)

Is there any new firmware ? When i check it says no update available , in the tutorial there is a lot of kdz. files and i don't know if i flash french or germany...

Here is my actual software info :
[G2 General] hyelton:
If you have a Verizon G2 its not recommended to be flashing D802 firmwares. And you won't get OTA only on stock Verizon firmware.
[G2 General] Soufiansky:
[MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION] No my friend you misunderstood , i have a D802 G2 now , which is the last firmware ? Because in OTA it says i'm running the last but not sure...

Please see the previous screenshot for more informations and thank you :)
[G2 General] hyelton:
20h I think is the latest. Ahh okay , but even if you did flash a Verizon G2 it will show it as a D802 in the status page.
[G2 General] emre220:
Hello! I have a question.

I rooted my 4.4.2 20C stock firmware and i have to bring my phone to LG service for touch screen's problem. If a flash a 20c or b again through this first method, is this enough for warranty? Is there any flash counter or sth. ?

It still looks "ROOTED" on download mode. Is this a problem for warranty? How can i change it?
[G2 General] Murshad007:
I restored my phone to stock,

But my baseband and IMEI is unknown..

Flashed TOT and KDZ two times..

Several resets. But baseband is still unknown

Useless Guide for the LS980.

This guide doesn't seem to apply correctly the the Sprint LS980.

I must be doing something wrong, but the guide is out of order, for instance LG Flash Tool never shows "Ready" for the COM port until after you click the yellow arrow.

This guide also doesn't mention that you need to click the yellow arrow then unplug the phone, the plug it back in a few seconds later for the restore to start.

The guide also doesn't mention how to change the COM port in Device Manager, which is rather helpful to know!

There are too many things wrong in this guide for me to mention them all. Why does this guide say it applies to the Sprint model?!!!

I used this guide for the G3(works for my LS980 G2, same process), it's much more clear and is in the correct order.

http://theunlockr.com/2014/08/03/how-to-unroot-the-lg-g3-all-versions-video/

I hope that the linked guide can actually save some people the 6 hours I just spent on following this "guide".

Sorry for the negativeness, but this guide was 99% worthless to me in restoring my phone back to stock.

I do, however, appreciate you hosting the necessary files. :good:
[G2 General] hyelton:
This guide worked for the thousand others, If you looked and followed my G3 guide I updated last month that might had helped.. I have hetic and busy days, hardly any pay, and work on things when I get the time... I might get to copying and pasting over my new tot method guide today, which also has videos and pictures I made, but that link you posted is the exact same method here..

The guide does say... "

13) Now click the Yellow arrow button on the top left of the main window."

It says it includes the Sprint Model because it does.. Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, Korean, and a few other non USA models is the same exact method just different firmware file.

If you see here is my G3 back to stock guide which can be found easily: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
[G2 General] hyelton:
UPDATE: I have updated the TOT method part of the guide to my updated guide I made a few weeks ago with Video, and Pictures :)..

Enjoy!
[G2 General] xNotta:
I typed up what I did to get it to work:

(I suck at writing guides, but maybe someone else can benefit from my 6 hours spent learning)

Extract TOT from zip

Install LG Drivers

Install LG Flash Tool - do not launch

Copy MegaLock.dll to C:\LG\LGFlashTool

Boot into Download Mode - Vol Up + Plug in USB

Open Device Manager from the start menu

Locate "LGE Mobile USB Serial Port"

Right Click and open Properties

Go to the Port tab

Click Advanced at the bottom

Change COM port to 41

Click ok and close out of Device manager.

Open LG Flash tool

Click OK on foreign language window

Click the Manual Mode Box in the top left.

Locate the DLL file (LGLS980_20130904_LGFLASHv151.dll)

Locate the tot file (LS980ZVC_12.tot)

leave everything else at default (Action mode - Upgrade DL, Connection Mode - USB)

Click OK

Click the yellow arrow and wait till "Port 1 (COM41)" says "Ready"

Unplug the phone for 5 seconds.

Plug it back in.

The process will start.

When it's finished, the phone will reboot into your restored state.

Sorry about being negative, I'm just frustrated that I spent 6 hours trying to get the guide to work only to find out it missed a few things and was out of order.

And also sorry to hear about your situation. :(

Just saw you updated the guide! Looks good now.

You even added pictures!!!!!

Thank you for updating it. :D
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yeah what you said is in the guide :). I made it a few weeks ago along with the pics and videos, I have been stressed for time lately and havent gotten much done that has been needed.

Yes, Ofcourse
[G2 General] aftabalam8c2:
You dont have d802.

I m sure you purchased this from a third party seller.

So its a refurbished phone.

You need to check the exact model of your g2.

You need to open phone and see tge back of motherboard.

Have u installed the driver properly.

Are you sure about the model of your phone

Is it f320k it may be l/s

Are you sure the kdz file u using is for f320k

Answer these question
[G2 General] ClarkOwen:
Yes, I have a F320K (Olleh with LTE A logo at the back) and I am flashing F320K21W.KDZ which is 1.9GB.

I have installed the drivers properly, I have LG Suit and LG United Mobile Driver.

I changed select type in Flash tool to CDMA, Phone Mode to DIAG and I placed the KDZ inside the Flashtool folder.

When I clicked ok,

this pops up

[G2 General] aftabalam8c2:
This is normap dear.

Its not an error..

Coz this tool is used offline so it shows this error.

But dont worry and wait for few seconds and the flashing will be started...

See the progress on the phone not on the flash tool screen..

After 100% on ur phone...it will rebooted.

And thats all

Only see the phone display to see flashing progress.

But if u get another msg after this error then send me the detail
[G2 General] ClarkOwen:
Thank you so much for atleast replying back, I'll try again and see it it works and message back what happens.

Thanks God Bless and I hope it works

[G2 General] jntdroid:
I'm at a bit of a loss here. I can't get my computer (Win 7 pro) to "see" the phone in download mode. It shows up in device manager, but I've tried multiple drivers to no avail - no matter what it's not actually seeing it, and the flash tool always tells me it's not connected to the PC...
[G2 General] hyelton:
Explain a little more as to what you see in device manager, are you wanting to use tot or kdz method? That can make a difference if your using the tot method and not changing your com port to com41.

What shows up in device manager?
[G2 General] jntdroid:
Sorry I wasn't more descriptive. I'm trying to use the kdz method. And this is what my device manager looks like - https://www.dropbox.com/s/9ndtm8qtxmqv8g6/Capture.PNG?dl=0 .

My G2 always creates three "entries", and I've tried a couple different drivers for each. I've tried Koush's universal adb driver but I always get an error message from windows saying this - https://www.dropbox.com/s/4wlhvmknj00bvd6/Capture2.PNG?dl=0 .

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------

Also, when I uninstall all the drivers and "start over" in download mode, this is what it looks like: https://www.dropbox.com/s/x996eq337b7w1rf/Capture3.PNG?dl=0
[G2 General] hyelton:
First off you don't need adb drivers. You need to install the drivers that are in the OP
[G2 General] jntdroid:
I apologize. In all the variations I tried I could've sworn I had already done that Verizon driver in the OP, but I must've been mixed up with my home computer. Once I installed that again, it appears to be working now. Thanks for the help. *facepalm*
[G2 General] hyelton:
LOL, But adb is not part of this method :).

Glad you got it!
[G2 General] jntdroid:
I know. I rooted and dd'd custom recovery and then flashed back to stock all within a short period of time. I had adb on the mind, and I'm rusty at all this... ;) Thanks again.

[G2 General] NBreunig3:
Hello! First off thank you all for your hard work. I am trying to return to stock from the KDZ Method for the LG G2 Verizon Variant. There is one problem though. I have followed all directions and have done everything properly. But the LGFlashTool first says can't connect to server. In device manager my phone is listed as LGE AndroidNet for VZE USB Serial Port (COM 4). Not sure if this is correct. So I click ok(When it says server failed) and it takes me to a screen where I have to click retry. I wait and nothing happenes so click retry and on the computer it gets to 2% and then takes me back to the screen where I need to press retry again. Please Help

So you need laf.img of your model.

And sdkslim or minimal adb

Adb driver installed

Many tutorial

Search on net lg g2 stuck fastboot mode

[G2 General] Velogr1992:
Maybe you misunderstood me, i am at udc_start(). i do the fastboot flash laf laf.img etc etc, and when i go to download mode, and press the flash button from Flash Tool on my PC it literally skips every partition it should flash except for 1 or 2 and then reboots me at fastboot mode again...

I can go in download mode, i cant flash, when i press the flash button it goes like "instantly" to 80% and reboots to fastboot.
[G2 General] aftabalam8c2:
Which method you are using??

Tot or kdz

Which model??

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

There are two reason for this error.

One is that you are flashing wrong rom..

Your phone is different..

So see the back of your motherboard to find the exact model

Second. Reason is that your driver causing some issue..

Try to flash using tot method
[G2 General] Velogr1992:
I am using a D802 ( i have attached a log to the previous post if you want to see)

Yes. 20c is newer than 10e. As I said that's the firmware version not part of the model

Let me clear few things

I think your flashing stock first time??

If i m ryt let me know.

And you have purchased this phone from a third party seller or website without warranty..like aliexpress ( most probably its a refurbished phone)

Please clear these two things.

If all of these are ryt then you dont have d802.

It may he d800 or d801 or something else.

So please let me know..

Hello guys. First want to thank you for your work. I successfully restored to stock via the Tot Method. I was just wondering, so anyone can use this method even if they don't have root? Is there similar things like download mode for different phones other than LG?

Lg g2 stuck on lg logo

I tried to flash my lg g2 D802 using the KDZ method but the lg flash tool crashed halfway and now my g2 is stuck on the lg logo with no download mode and with no adb device found and it doesn't factory reset it doesn't turn off if if try to power it off it starts back again, please help thank you in advance.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Your welcome :). Yes you don't need to have root as its the same with every other device out there root is not needed to flash back to stock in download mode.

Every phone has a download mode even back as far as flip phones I was flashing my Moto RAZR V3c and krazr and so on.
[G2 General] hyelton:
First off adb has nothing to do with going back to stock. You'll need to reboot the phone back into download mode to he able to reflash it. There's a button combo that reboots any android phone.
[G2 General] aftabalam8c2:
You need to force your g2 inti qgsusb bulk mode my shorting the test point.

See this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiofVOqfnxw&feature=youtu.be

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15krGmydqgQ&feature=youtu.be

Keep in mind when u will short the pins.

Then pc will detect it in two ways.

1) qhsusb bulk mode with lot of drive( phone partion ) pop ups with format option.

Dont formate it..impossible to format.

If this happen then you are in qualcom 9006 mode.

And you are 100% safe.

http://www.mediafire.com/?pba9wajnehr9qwg

Download the qualcom driver from the above link.

You can recover partition and get back to download mode.....

Follow this

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/general/unbrick-lg-g2-qhsusbbulkqualcomm-9006-t2939627

If any prob...send message.

2) if your pc detect your phone but no drive pop up and even device manger shows 9008 mode after driver installed..

Then you are in super brick mode.

It can be fixed but the working tool is not in public..

So disconnect usb and try again to short the pins untill u get 9006 mode with drive pop ups.

It may took 20 to 30 attempts sometime to get in 9006.

But if u stuck in 9008 mode then u have bad luck.

I can unbrick 9008 mode.

Keep in mind battery connector must be disconnected.

For any help plz post ur question

[G2 General] Murshad007:
I am Unable to restore my Baseband...

See the picture.. I need EFS backup of a D801

IMEI isn't neededbas I have the IMEI..

If some one helps...
[G2 General] SREEPRAJAY:
Think you are in kk boot loader now....If I remember right, it is power plus vol down key till you see the lg logo, then you got to immediately change to vol up and vol down till you reach recovery...

I recommend you to check once with Google uncle

Hope this helps
[G2 General] hyelton:
You can't use someone else's EFS backup. Only the one that came on your phone. If you have an IMEI its not an EFS problem.
[G2 General] Murshad007:
I don't have the Original IMEI,

Nor the IMEI is in phone..

Baseband is Unknown, IMEI is unknown or Null.. I have manullay written IMEI in my receipt..

See the Pic.. Its IMEI of an D802..
[G2 General] hyelton:
Well you said you had the IMEI as if it showed up. Your only option is to reflash and or try a different firmware. If you lost your efs for good its gone.
[G2 General] Murshad007:
I purchased a D802 Mobile, By IMEI it shown that its from Thailand and 32GB..

After using One month My 4 5 6 space in Dial pad stop working..

When I go for a LCD grid test, The screen responded in that area. But in OS it not..

So After Resetting twice, I decide to Flash Europe Open 32GB D802..

After that My Baseband and IMEI Unknown, Storage becomes 16GB, 10GB free and touch not working at all..

After some research here its found out that My set was refurbished..

As I opened my set, it have a T-Mobile D801 Motherboard..

I Have TOT and KDZ Flashed but Baseband is still unknown or Should be Implemented...

I want to resolve this baseband Issue..

I will use the D802 IMEI or any other Fake IMEI if this Baseband issue resolved...

Mobile was not rooted, So I dont have an EFS backup... Mobile is also not hardware damaged at all
[G2 General] hyelton:
It sounds like you possible lost your efs /IMEI. So you best bet would be to flash D801 firmware like it requires. Flashing a firmware other than what's meant like flashing a D802 firmware on a D801 will cause your exact problem. Try flashing a different firmware.

Also talk about IMEI changing , fake IMEI and so on is illegal and is not allowed here.
[G2 General] Murshad007:
I have tried, Flashing V10C TOT and And 20G KDZ for D801 twice both.. touch is now in previous state, except 4 5 6 area of screen all other working. Storage back to normal 32GB. And hard reset also.. But this baseband isn't working...

If I go To 3845#*801#

The Settings and then in Version..

Its says "Baseband should be implemented" like in picture
[G2 General] aftabalam8c2:
Can u root it??

And install twrp??

If yes then i will help u..

I will provide the efs backup of d801 as i get it..

But u need to change ur imei no after that.

Coz it may he imei no of someone else.

So wait...

Whenever i get an user with d801 while unbricking in 9008 then i will send it.
[G2 General] Murshad007:
Already told you brother that you are in condition same like me.. Don't flash anything unless you confirmed your board by Seeing the back side of board..

If you can't do it, Then tell some repairer to open it and check for board model.

Also check Ur baseband and IMEI, IF its not lost, Then get a backup of it at 1st...

Thank you.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Would help if you explained more..

Model? Method? Phone in download mode? LGEModem show up in device manager?
[G2 General] aftabalam8c2:
Either you are flashing wrong rom or your phone is different model.

If u didn't purchase the phone from lg store or authentic place then you might have refurbished phone.

Internal and external different
[G2 General] hyelton:
That's not always the case .. Some PCs do act up and cause random issues exactly like that. Happens to me time to time for the kdz method.
[G2 General] aftabalam8c2:
Yes you are right.

But mostly i found these are the cause for this prob.

One more cause is driver issue.

Keep in mind

If you want that kdz method work

Your phone must be detected as

Lge androidnet seria usb port ( comx)

Sometimes phone detected as

Lge modem usb serial ( comx)

Then most probably kdz method failed.

But tot worked.

May be its not true in all cases.

But its my experience of flashing over 50 lg g2 and g3 and g pro.

[G2 General] hyelton:
Yes they format and remove. But depending on the way you flash kdz it doesn't.

There's no way to introduce what your asking as these tools are LG created tools.
