Yes i am sure about it.
[G2 General] bender_007:
Well first he has to find out what phone he has. Receiving fastboot mode from a clean flashed tot je thought was the original firmware means it's not the right model. Open it and look what labels it has on it

sent from my mc68000 powered Amiga 500
[G2 General] [] AL []:
My explanation for it is simple: they sell the hacked 802s at ~20% premium price because that model has (at least the real ones) better international 4G radios capabilities. So if their firmware trick works, they just warn buyers that they cannot flash the phones on their own. Then they wash their hands if any issues arise if customers do.

What a bunch of

Good news is that I should get an order in again tonight (will be 4th time now) for a VS980. Hopefully, display/digitizer will be problem free this time... (dang! this has been a nightmare).
[G2 General] nomanrazzaq:
help me how can i recover my phone??
[G2 General] bender_007:
If d801 firmware causes fastboot mode then you should look up where you've bought it. It might be d802 or some other model.
[G2 General] nomanrazzaq:
Well if it is another model then what to do?
[G2 General] Bsbreaker:
I flashed: "Northern Europe Open KitKat D80220D.kdz".

Flash went good without error, i thought at first.

Now the touch screen is not working correct. What did I do wrong?

How to fix it?
[G2 General] [] AL []:
Dang! I wanted to press reply and pressed thank instead...

[emoji12]

I don't think you did anything wrong; I've read and maybe even experienced the same thing on the last G2 I received. I don't have a link handy atm and I don't know the specific details of the d802, but my guess would be that you just need to update touch firmware.

I know that for Verizon model, an apk has to be installed and run through a terminal command to access the "hidden menu" where such an update option is. My bet is that your model only need a code entered in the dialer (

- something like (but 95% sure I mispelled it) : *#06#*802#*

.... Anyhow, search the G2 forum setion for update touch firmware and you should find it easily. Not sure it will solve your issue, but I think it's worth a shot...

Btw: black VS980 + 12000mAh Power Bank + selfie stick (for the wife) + silicon gel case + one case with a window + glass and normal screen protectors + wireless charger - ordered in 30 minutes ago... ~$115

Fingers crossed for a problem-free purchase

[emoji120]
[G2 General] hyelton:
That would mean you just flashed a D802 firmware on a phone that was not a D802.
[G2 General] [] AL []:
Really!? This is a known consequence of wrong model/firmware mix? My bad then! I thought that doin so just wouldn't boot...

Oh well, I still got much to learn about the G2 before actively trying to help ...

[emoji21]

[emoji14]
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yeah, It will boot alright lol. But touch issues/problems
[G2 General] [] AL []:
What the...? My post doubled up and spawned???

[I think that happens when 2 or 3 people edit/post at the same time...]

Well, hopefully the VS980 model being different (hardware-wise) than the d variant, I will not experience that dead revival trick and treat [healing sense]

[emoji316] (for the lack of Frankenstein emoji)
[G2 General] hyelton:
That's due to maintess going on at the moment.
[G2 General] timenewton:
I did all the necessary steps and got the file installed, but it still says im rooted in status even though developer options are not showing. Im on the vs980
[G2 General] leaveitatthedoor:
Maintenance?

If you are doing mainenance, any idea when it will be back up? I rooted and installed a custom rom and then idiotically allowed the Sprint OTA update. Now my phone only boots into TWRP. And I need to get my phone back up and running ASAP. Any ideas on how to fix this? And when will the Sprint firmware be back up?
[G2 General] RubbleTea:
In the android development forum there's a fix for your situation
[G2 General] leaveitatthedoor:
For Sprint? And now all of my internal storage has been wiped. Don't know what to do.
[G2 General] Zobabe:
Wish they werent doing maintenance atm, really need this right now
[G2 General] SuperSport:
Hey guys, just a little patience. If you are not willing to wait a bit here and there, you really should not be flashing your phones with custom ROMs. I remember having to wait a couple months for a fix for a bricked phone of mine. But, that's the chance we take being on the edge. And, I was lucky I EVER got it unbricked.

Is it frustrating when your phone is broke and sitting there doing nothing? Of course it is. But pushing the Dev's to hurry up is not nice, and might even make them take their time a bit.
[G2 General] fma965:
what files are you waiting for? have you checked my mirror?
[G2 General] hyelton:
I think they were looking for a sprint flashable file located somewhere else
[G2 General] fma965:
yeah i read that but i assumed that it wasn't just 1 file, btw if u give me a read only FTP account i can mirror your files easier, just saying.
[G2 General] hyelton:
I`m not sure here haha things get jumbled sometimes.

I just ordered me a NICE VPS :) 400GB Storage, Unmetered, etc :) I`m not going cheap anymore. I can provide you with open ftp after my move :)
[G2 General] fma965:
ok cool PM me when your sorted :) Thanks.
[G2 General] TheSapient:
I can't get into download mode. Nothing happens when I hold volume up and volume down. When plug in my usb, I just go into a loop from the LG Logo and "security error".

Starting to panic.....

Really panicking now.

The ONLY think I can do it turn it on, and it just goes to the LG logo and then to the error. I can't think of anything else to do. Please tell me there is something I can do.
[G2 General] fabyprado123:
hello :) is the ATT version working ? i dont want to download and make it brick my phone.
[G2 General] TheSapient:
I was able to get into download mode by holding volume+ and plugging in the usb cable, which is a little different than what it says in the instructions (or maybe I am just reading them wrong). Is it OK the my computer says "Drivers not loaded"?

I've not yet finished downloading the firmware, but I suspect I will have problems if the drivers are not working. The ones I have are a newer version than what is listed in the first post. They have worked for this phone before. Do I keep them or replace them with the older drivers?

Also, for Sprint what "type" do I want? CDMA?
[G2 General] ElfinJNoty:
I just wanted to report:

T-Mobile D801. Had been back n forth between Rayglobe 3.2 and an unofficial CarbonRom available in the T-Mobile threads.

While on Rayglobe and playing Mini Golf Matchup, was experiencing some heavy lag. So I made some kernel changes which fixed problems with the game. Nothing too aggressive for sure, not the first time I had done this. Definitely didn't overclock or change voltages.

All of a sudden, G2 reboots and gets stuck in a loop. I was able to go into twrp and wipe, restore backups, flash clean, didn't matter. Phone would be stuck in a loop. Flashed stock and custom kernels for my device, no change. End result, only thing that would boot was a fresh install of Rayglobe or a stock+root ROM I had on my internal storage.

In both cases, after boot would come set up, I could skip through and get to home screen. Both cases would reboot after about 30 seconds of uptime. Also noticed no communication with the network, phone showed it wasn't even able to search for a signal. Mobile networks was greyed out in network settings. WiFi would turn on but the keyboard would not display so I couldn't enter a passcode. No matter what I tried for several hours, in a 30 second window before a reboot, nothing was working correctly. And all the while I'm thinking what did I do? If it was a kernel setting it should have reset on reboot.... And after flashing new ROMs and new kernels after wiping everything correctly, problem shouldn't persist, right?

So I found this thread, took me about 8hours to download the T-Mobile .kdz file after several failed downloads(used es file manager download manager on my old gnex and it paused a few times, I just resumed it till complete). I got all the drivers and tools installed, on T-Mobile its volume+ and power button while plugging in USB to PC to enter download mode. Followed the op and everything worked without a hitch. I did notice in download mode it showed a red "rooted".

After the flash to stock, booted up, then powered off and factory reset. Booted back up and found myself in the same situation. Not looking for signal, no keyboard, 30+ seconds and reboot. Repeatedly. I was very saddened at this point.... Money is super tight and was positive I must have done something to permanently muck up the internal hardware.

I tried to flash to stock again as a last resort. Now download mode showed "unrooted" so I stopped, held the power button till it powered off. Took it into my local T-Mobile store today, let them play with it a bit(had to show them what to do with button presses for "recovery"/factory reset, 5 employees couldn't figure it out without my assistance) and in the end:

"Manufacturer defect" is what they called it, and charged me $5 to cover shipping of a new handset, was only 34 days old and under warranty. They did see it as "unrooted" in download mode as they attempted to troubleshoot. So I thank OP for the tools and instructions.

Real test will be to see what T-Mobile says once I mail in the phone, but so far good on getting my G2 replaced, thanks to this thread. :thumbup:
[G2 General] CACIQUETIUNA:
helpme!!

I have a problem install twrp recovery and me a message i get software to install phone restart the telephone and now inside the operating system not only is in recovery is the solution? Also lets put it in download mode
[G2 General] TheSapient:
So how do you use a .tot file with this method? I'm on Sprint.
[G2 General] hyelton:
For tot files use the att guide. I'll update the op when I can on that.
[G2 General] Method760:
But download the files from the OP post on this thread
[G2 General] bender_007:
^ it might also be that the board is fine but the digitizer is from another variant. Opening the g2 would solve the mistery :)

[G2 General] hyelton:
These sellers kill me. haha
[G2 General] [] AL []:
Yes, I bought 4 dirt cheap Motorola phones before without any issue (ok I had one return for defective headphones jack) and now as many trials for the G2.

Risky business yes, but that's all the money I'm ready to spend on a new toy atm... And at this price point, the G2 seems hard to beat when running fine and with legit f/w... Best bet for my last phone running on CM11. And from the limited time I spent on Jackpotclavin's KK bootloader based CM11 rom, this should be a beast.
[G2 General] ADM!RAL:
first of all you must know what is your phone exact model from the log file created by LG flash tools

you'll see a line like that

Factory Information

[19:58:54] 1. Model Name : LG-D802

[19:58:54] 2. SWV : LGD800AT-01-V20k-310-410-MAR-04-2014+0

[19:58:54] 3. SWOV : LGD800AT-00-V20k-ATT-US-MAR-04-2014+0

1. is the facked model number

2. & 3. gives you a clue of what is device origin, so in my case it's "D800"

after getting out of this mess i installed kitkat and this time i didn't use hacked dll as phone model was fixed!

Factory Information

[ 8:44:25] 1. Model Name : LG-D800

[ 8:44:25] 2. SWV : LGD800AT-00-V10o-ATT-US-OCT-19-2013+0

Bro i was using LG FLASH TOOL 2014. There is no log files. But i am sure that it is D801. But now i am confused how can i solve it. Because now it is showing fastboot mode. Tell me how to solve it?
[G2 General] ADM!RAL:
you'll see folder at the root of your "C:" partition it's name is "LGMobileUpgrade"
[G2 General] Bsbreaker:
Okay, many thanks for your replys :good:

I opened up the back cover of my supposedly NEW D802, and well it doesn't look very new to me. :mad:

Dirty, dusty, full of scratches from, I suppose, beeing opened previously.

And the model number, I don't know where I am supposed to look for the model number, but on the bottom left corner, below the battery I can read D801/D803 and below that 0831, if that means anything? And then in the top right corner above the sim tray I can read A D800 0407.

What does this mean, other than that the seller has scammed me?

Should I try to flash another .kdz file, which in that case? Or should I return the phone and hope to get my money back. (bought from ebay, payed with paypal)
[G2 General] nomanrazzaq:
I am trying to find it. But how can i solve this problem of fastboot mode?

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 PM ----------

No folder available there according to information that you provided me. But i am confuse why it is showing fastboot mode.
[G2 General] ADM!RAL:
well first of all i'm not responsible for any bad consequences you may get using this solution !!

i maybe was lucky enough that this fix worked for me even though the fix was meant for D802 as i didn't know exactly what was my device real variant so [MENTION=3279781]bender_007[/MENTION] made it for D802 but i wouldn't blame him if it made my situation worse !!

so if you are good with that you may take a look at this post

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63676022&postcount=10938

it has the file you need to download just enter fastboot mode and double click "fix"

good luck and don't forget to say thanks to [MENTION=3279781]bender_007[/MENTION] :)
[G2 General] nomanrazzaq:
Hi

As per your instructions i edit d801 file in hex editor and flashed it now phone is hang on LG logo. It is not going into download mode it showing fastboot mode. Now i want to make which model files i neeed to write in fastboot mode. Here you can it is d801 board but it was running as d802. Here you can see a snap of board.
[G2 General] nomanrazzaq:
I want some information which model partion files i need to write?
[G2 General] ADM!RAL:
i'm sorry i may not be much of help to you at this point, i just ran that "FIX" file while connecting my phone in fastboot mode and it write some texts on both PC and phone screen and my device booted into recovery in couple of seconds !

and also download mode returned when i press vol+ while connecting it to my pc!

so next time when you flash tot file don't hex edit it and instead use LGUP_8974.dll

idk maybe tot signature changed and that was what caused your issue or file got damaged from downloading process !

good luck
[G2 General] nomanrazzaq:
I will report after applying this...
[G2 General] Bsbreaker:
Sorry for the re posts, but any input please? What should I try next?
[G2 General] bender_007:
Actually this isn't the right thread for you :(, sorry.

Would be good if moderator takes the posts to another thread (or create a new one and notice a moderator to move it to the newly created)

-can you enter download mode ?

-is it fastboot only ?

If it's fastboot only I can create a oneclick for you to try it out

it would be good to contact the seller, just tell him that you need information what firmware to flash. I would flash the one that is on mainboard.
[G2 General] nomanrazzaq:
Finally i have recovered my phone. It was D801. Thanks everybody. It was impossible without your help. It was a great experience for me.
[G2 General] Bsbreaker:
Sorry about that, I am very new to this forum. Mods, feel free to move to correct place, I don't know where to.

Anyway, the phone boots fine, just that the touchscreen don't work correctly, it is impossible to hit the right buttons/icons you want. This happened after the v20d flash.

Edit:

No problem entering download mode, I just would need to know what .kdz to flash.

And seller hasn't been very helpful previously when I tried getting any help.
[G2 General] bender_007:
Hm. Try this

connect usb otg cable, mouse inside it. Type 3845#*802# , tap settings, upgrade touchscreen firmware

instead 802 try 800, 801 or any model that you think is your one
[G2 General] Bsbreaker:
Problem, don't have usb otg cable, at least not at the moment.

Is there no way of knowing for sure which .kdz version my phone needs?

If I go by just guessing, what are the risk if I guess wrong. Worst case? Most likely...?
[G2 General] hyelton:
It's not the version that caused it. It would be the model that caused it. You might not have a D802.
[G2 General] Bsbreaker:
Yes I know I probably don't have a D802. I wrote this earlier:

[G2 General] nomanrazzaq:
Which model do you have??? Tell me i will guide you. I have faced this issue and finally i solve it.
[G2 General] Bsbreaker:
That is the problem! I don't know what model I have. I bought a D802 but it probably isn't that.

[G2 General] nomanrazzaq:
Bro you should see what is written on the board of your phone. Like this then i will tell you solution.
[G2 General] Bsbreaker:
Thanks, but really? I have to teardown almost the complete phone just to know what model it is? Gee... I would have thought there would be an easier way. And I was so stupid that just a few days ago I thought I just bought a new, unused, working phone... :crying:
[G2 General] nomanrazzaq:
You should visit this website it will help you to identify the exact model.

http://www.etradesupply.com/blog/how-to-find-lg-g2-model-number/
[G2 General] hyelton:
If you just bought it, contact the seller. If nothing contact whoever you used to pay for it. I would return it.
[G2 General] Bsbreaker:
Sorry if I go too far off-topic, but maybe you have experience with lying and cheating eBay sellers? Can you give me some advice? I have never had to return anything to an eBay seller.

Yes I bought the phone recently, on eBay, payed with Paypal, from a chinese seller. I have made a return request on eBay for a device not working correctly. Seller has answered that he will pay me for my return shipping cost, and solve the problem.

What does this mean? Can I trust his reply, I have a feeling that he is just trying to scam me, again. Should I return the phone to seller, what is the risk of me not getting any money back at all? Can I trust eBay/Paypal in a case like this? I can now also see on sellers eBay page, that he have received several negative ratings regarding similar scam attempts.

All advises welcome...
[G2 General] hyelton:
No problem, I have not experienced it yet thankfully. But I am a seller on Amazon and Swappa. If they offered to take it back, do it through eBay messages/PayPal as you have proof. If the seller has a large amount of feedback they may be legit, but just profiting off this sort of thing.

Stuck on LG LOGO Screen (LG-G2 D802)

I've tried to upgrade my LG G2 D802 to Lollipop via Official Update and in this regard I downloaded LG Mobile Support Tool and without taking care of any Custom Recovery, I managed to upgrade my phone. But after lasting for about 4 HRS my upgrade through LG Mobile Support Tool completed and my Phone restarted automatically to Download mode. After completing to 100% it restarted again but could never start again and unfortunately stuck on LG LOGO Screen, with LED Blinking Green/Cyan. Now my Phone is in Soft Brick mode, as per I think, because it can go to Download mode and Recovery mode without being able to Normal start-up. What should I do now??? I've visited this thread and tried to CSE Flash using LG FlashTool 2014, through KDZ method. I've downloaded India D80230b.kdz for my phone, but when it comes to S/W Update through LG Mobile Support Tool (after CSE Flash -> Start -> Language Select -> Verifying OS -> Software Extraction) it stops at 9% giving Error that "Upgrade Stopped due to an Error". Now what should I do to bring my LG G2 back to Normal?? Kindly HELP!! :confused:

Hi, I have LG G2 D802, while updating it started bootloop. Then i followed the KDZ Method to flash D80230b_00.kdz file It flashed 100% but still there are boot loops. Now adb is not working and also No TWRP but i can get only Download Mode Can any one please help? If TOT similar to this D80230b_00.kdz is available then please give me link

Tried d80220b.kdz still boot loops not going please help

Many thanks, the TOT method works. I was stuck on download mode.
[G2 General] cnaukai:
i have an error plz help me
[G2 General] hyelton:
That issue means you don;'t have a D802 OR your currently running a NON D802 firmware. Which You'll either need to use the megalock.dll file as your dll or use a hex editor to edit the tot file.

Did you try a factory reset? Also why not try the TOT method?

Try the TOT method.

Download Mode Broken

By Searching a lot of threads I get to know that my LG G2's Downloading mode is broken and due to this Fact it stuck on Blue Dots written Downloading mode and is not recognized by my PC. I've tried the TOT method as well but LG Flash tool didn't recognize my phone and therefore Flashing not started :rolleyes:
[G2 General] hyelton:
What your explaining IS download mode.. That's normal. Are you sure your changing LGE Serial/LGE Modem/ or LG Android net to COM41 in device manager? And are you sure your using a USB 2.0 port and not 3.0? as well as using the usb cable that came with the phone?
[G2 General] V!cky:
Yes I am pretty sure for all these. I've seen in the tutorials that Downloading Mode goes on to the USB sign written Firmware Update but in my case it stuck on Blue Dots
[G2 General] hyelton:
Depends on your software version, If its older the Blue Dots its STILL download mode. post a screen shot of your device manager with the ports tab
[G2 General] Rulandas:
Hi all. Sorry to ask. Just wandering. If anybody tried different roms. Which rom is the cleanest one. I understand some regions even open roms might have more bloat then the others. They must be pretty much similar across Europe anyway. Thanks

Hi thanks for the reply

I tried everything, hard reset even TOT method but i didnt get the right TOT

But now finally i downloaded

India OPEN 16GB D80210C_00

kdz and flashed... it failed at 99% but to my surprise it phone is working now

Now its alive and working without any problems but i wonder why it dosent support Lolipop version.

I did LG OTA also but it bootloops and it only works with kitkat(D80210C_00):rolleyes:
