I have a D802 International version, seems to be bricked.

Cant get into recovery, download mode or fastboot. Phone is in a continuous loop with the lg logo. It seems to be detected via USB, but kdz and tot methods dont seem to work (I suspect being unable to get into download mode makes these methods useless?).

Hoping for help
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yes flashing only works in download mode. How are you trying to get it into download mode? It's tricky since you cannot pull the battery. You have to reboot the phone and as you do that then do the method of putting it into download. You cannot just try the download mode combo while in bootloop you need to reboot the phone while doing it.

My LG G2 D802 16gb is soft bricked can I flash this firmware UAE D80220C_00.kdz? Does it work on 16 gb or will it cause the device to hard brick?
[G2 General] hyelton:
You have to flash a firmware with 16GB in the file name.
[G2 General] hack_er4:

[G2 General] thelisar:
So any firmware with 16GB will do even if the location isn't the same? I'm really worried about choosing the right firmware I would really appreciate if you help me find the right one since I read somewhere if it's not the exact version it will hard brick the phone and it won't be recoverable.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Just make sure you stay within the same model and you'll be fine.

Hi [MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION], i have a LG G2 D802 20b which is running 4.4.2 Kitkat... but in recovery it says KOT49l.D803B20e

i want to upgrade it to lollipop, i've tried system update but it says "You're running the latest version of OS" ...

can you please guide me how can i upgrade to lollipop Please, a detailed guide will be highly appreciated.
[G2 General] hyelton:
If you have a D802 I wonder why your recovery states your running D803 software? Id try and figure that out first.
[G2 General] havokdroid:
For others with the same issue, bootloop to turn off was accomplished by vol down + power button continuously pressed. By the time the second loop starts, it turns off. My issue was that even from here download mode and recovery mode was failing.

I finally managed to flash a stock image. This is what I did:

1. Tried KDZ and tot methods with no use.

2. Realised that for some reason, while attempting KDZ method (lots of unplugging and replugging), sometimes the bootloop stopped. To be specific, it was stuck at LG logo without the rgb led changing, the notification light was completely off. (Note: KDZ method still failed, but bootloop stopped as long as plugged in)

3. In this frozen mode, attempted tot method (COM41 and all that as per the guide) with a random 16gb D802 version. By some miracle, this seemed to get the flash process to begin and finally got a stock ROM (not the same as I had originally).

4. From here on, everything else worked. Installed root+twrp, kk baseband and running Cloudy 3.3 successfully :D

5. Profit
[G2 General] jntdroid:
I'm about to give this a go on my sim unlocked AT&T G2. My question is there anyway to get back to 4.4.4? The last two G2's I've had (both AT&T) went straight from 4.4.2 to 5.0.2 via OTA. The first one I had went to 4.4.4 first. I'd love to park on 4.4.4 until 5.1.1 (in theory) is released...

Thanks again for this thread - it's been invaluable over the last year!
[G2 General] hyelton:
The only way is to flash and hope it'll update to kitkat first. That's the only thing I'd know to try.
[G2 General] Black_Eyes:
well, i've tried D802 30a kdz file after bricking my g2(Hard Bricked), it just stays on lg logo with yellow and blue LED's
[G2 General] hyelton:
How long? Also did you choose CSE flash and not normal? Also did you try a factory reset?
[G2 General] Black_Eyes:
Here is the last screenshot when i had my mobile on from hidden menu.
[G2 General] hyelton:
I was meaning the flash. Did you us normal or cse?
[G2 General] Black_Eyes:
I did CSE Flash...

Tried factory reset but no luck, still on LG logo.

Can you find meme the firmware that is in the screenshot?
[G2 General] hyelton:
If your phone is a D802 then any D802 firmware that matches your size will work.
[G2 General] Black_Eyes:
If the last firmware was Kitkat 802 20b then lollipop firmware will be 802 30b?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Kitkat is 20x and lollipop would be 30x yes.
[G2 General] Black_Eyes:
Can i flash this ?

Europe OPEN D80220B_00.kdz from your collection... It's kitkat right?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yes as long as your device is a 32gb model for that one.
[G2 General] Black_Eyes:
Hi, i have remove the back cover and it's writtern d800 o.O
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yeah.. That happens. Referb models sadly. You'll need a hex editor to edit the D800 tot file and then flash it.
[G2 General] Black_Eyes:
What exactly? Please be more precise :)
[G2 General] djvicksee111:

i am using lg g2 d 802 confirmed model i only want to know that is downgrade possible once updated to lollipop for kitkat
[G2 General] priuslover:

[G2 General] hyelton:
As stated in the OP D800 is tot method only. And you have to ota to get lollipop.
[G2 General] MistaahD:
Hello,

I have a LG G2 (D802). I was busy flashing the stock KDZ, when I got an error. The progress on my phone stopped, and nothing happened anymore. I wanted to try again, so I turned my phone off. Now, when I boot my phone, it gives the LG logo, and then nothing. When I connect it to my pc, I get a lot of format pop-ups.

Additional info: My phone is being recognized as "QHSUSB_BULK", and there is really NO mode that I can access; no download, no recovery, no fastboot...

I followed this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

The KDZ I used: Netherlands Open 16GB KitKat D80220D

Furthermore, also while connected to the pc, I only see a folder called "image".

Here are some pictures to show what's inside the "image" folder in the first local disk (= first partition?): 1: http://i.imgur.com/InFoiXA.png 2: http://i.imgur.com/YzjXOmQ.png 3: http://i.imgur.com/JDEnUfa.png

Can someone help me with getting my phone back to stock? It doesn't matter if everything gets wiped, I already backed up everything.

Thanks in advance!

LG G2

Hi sorry for my English... Im from poland, I have problem with my g2 f320s first i try install a cloudy flex, but after 60% was fail... i forgot about copy... i was have also a problem with opening drives to format, but i think i fix it... now im stuck on Firmware update message but under is small window and here is b100 ROOTED. I was trying use lg flasher but after one sec. error... I think my IMEI Number is also lost please help
[G2 General] hyelton:
Please don't quote the OP it's to large to quote and makes my thread a mess.

What do you mean your stuck? You WANT download mode to flash that's the only way. Don't worry what it says I'm download mode, well yeah it's going to say rooted if it's been rooted. I'm confused as to what your problem is?

What error? The screenshot of your phone is not an error.
[G2 General] lukasss256:
It was my first post so, sorry for this mess. I try flash my phone in lg flash tool with .tot file but after one second ive got a message with error crossDL G2 to f320s
[G2 General] hyelton:
Welcome :).

That means your using the wrong dll file for your model or the current rom on it is not meant for your model. You'll need to use an hex editor on the tot file.
[G2 General] lukasss256:
Ok, ive got already HxD and what to do with tot file now? When i open it in HxD i have a lot numbers
[G2 General] hyelton:
I'm on my mobile right now, but do a quick Google tot file hex edit and you should find the guide.

Let me know.
[G2 General] lukasss256:
I dont do this never before... i use a lot of versions this dll files for f320s with same effect...
[G2 General] hyelton:
If it does it one it will with others. Youll need to use an hex editor on the tot file.
[G2 General] lukasss256:
Ok i open tot file what next?
[G2 General] hyelton:
I just posted about that 2 posts ago. Like I said I'm currently mobile, just Google tot hex edit.

[MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION]

i have flashed my lg g2 d802 with kitkat firmware as after lollipop update SIM service was disabled.

But during the kitkat update got error at 89% and phone screen got unusual behavior as it does not shows anything only some blurred color combination are showing .

Please suggest me what i can do.

Thanks
[G2 General] hyelton:
Well anything after 85% means it's done that's normal. Blurred color ? Got a pic?
[G2 General] narshad:
like this attached image.

But now i have again updated it to lollipop from your roms collection but now this time touch is not working as it behaving funny like when i touch the back button it actually click on somewhere else.
[G2 General] hyelton:
That means your flashing the wrong model. Your phone might not be the model you think it is.
[G2 General] narshad:
i was sure about the the model as the seller told me its D802 and in the hardware info it also showed the D802 but to be sure i have opened the back cover attaching the pic.

(D800 / D801 / D803 / D800T) is written along the battery sides.

but D800 is circled with black mark as you can see in the attached image.

i think its D800 model.

What do you say?

What do you suggest me now?

Which method should i follow now?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Well that would mean it's a D800 then. You'll need to follow the tot method and flash the d800 firmware. But at this point it's risky. I'd never use a phone that that has been done too.
[G2 General] narshad:
But this the only choice i have.

Will follow the TOT method lets see what does it says.
[G2 General] hyelton:
It will prob say mismatch which you'll need to edit the tot file with a hex editor.
[G2 General] narshad:
Do you suggest me any hex editor download link.

Where i can find it.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Google
[G2 General] narshad:
but what should i edit in the tot file?
[G2 General] Ansab454:
Possible refurbished phone?

I bought a D802 from a third-party, with:

- 32GB ROM

- 4.4.2 D80220b firmware

- 2G, 3G, 4G working

- The csmg.lgmobile.com website said that according to my IMEI, my model is the UAE 32GB D802 and gave me the D80230a firmware for manual flash via LG Flash tool. (screenshot below)

I used the phone for a while, rooted it and used Xposed. Never got recovery so no backup(wish I'd seen the SRK tool before). Then I downloaded the firmware from the csmg.lgmobile.com website. I flashed it via the Flash tool and everything seemed fine. Then it booted:

- Touchscreen was erratic. Ghost touches, dead spots, phantom touches, whatever.

- The Baseband Version and IMEI in About Phone both say Unknown

- ROM has converted to a 16GB version

- Download mode is fine along with every other feature of the phone

After that I looked around and found a UAE D80220c firmware and flashed that. It flashed fine but all the above issues remained the same.

I browsed around extensively here and found out:

- Refurbished phones have their back cover and firmware changed to imitate D802's.

- My phone is probably some other G2 model with D802 firmware and an altered IMEI

- The actual model of my device is UNDER the motherboard. Which, apparently, I must get hold of so I can flash the appropriate stock kdz. This gets a bit too hardware-y for me.

So, basically, my phone is no more useful than a brick at the moment. Any expert help would be appreciated but here are the main questions that I'd really like answered:

A. Should I try various flashing the kdz files from different models mentioned in the link I gave up ^there until one clicks and then try to do something about the IMEI?

B. Is there any chance that my phone is beyond repair forever?

C. Should I stop messing around with my mediocre knowledge and take it to a repair shop?
[G2 General] narshad:
that exactly 100% the case with me.As my phone was showing model D802 and i updated it to lollipop but after update touch behaving abnormal but after removing the back cover i found out that it is actually D800.

Just following the TOT method as described in the main post.

Will post back if it goes successful.
[G2 General] Ansab454:
It sucks, right? And you have the UAE version, too? :confused:

And most importantly, I read in the post that even the model stated on the back cannot be trusted and only the model written on the back of the motherboard is trustworthy. What if you are flashing the wrong version again?
[G2 General] hyelton:
That's when you buy them refurbished from unreliable places.
[G2 General] narshad:
Yes seems to be a UAE version as told by seller(Hafeez center,Lahore).

I gave up and got it fixed from a shop because i dont want to take any risk.

So only flash with the 100% correct model number.
[G2 General] Ansab454:
It works now?! Seriously? Everything is okay??

Just use the method in the OP. The older kdz method is harder and the tot method is the same.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Are you looking under com ports? That's where you need to look. Make sure your using a USB 2.0 port and not a 3.0 port.

Also if your using windows 8 you need to unhide ports it might actually be there but windows 8 hides it.

after 2%

when it want to flash the KDZ file it says remove battery and etc. and press Retry button!!!
[G2 General] hyelton:
Does it say network problem or phone connection problem? If network problem move the window over that's normal. If not then you'll need to do the tot method then the kdz method.
[G2 General] freshbooy:
i think its phone connection

i downloaded 2GB mate!! i dont want to download that again! i have the Germany 16GB 30D KDZ file. can i use this to flash via TOT?
[G2 General] hyelton:
No. You have to use a tot with the tot method. 2gb is not that much. Unless you have a slower connection though :/. The kdz method doesn't like being used if there was a custom rom present on the device.
[G2 General] freshbooy:
i have very slow connection

is there any other ways to flash this KDZ?
[G2 General] hyelton:
You can only flash a kdz using the flashtool in the Op for kdzs. There's no other way. Unless you still have recovery and you can download a custom rom meant for your model. But that takes the point away as you have a slow connection. :/. Did you try freshly putting the phone into download mode when trying to flash via kdz?
