ok then and whats the OP??

---------- Post added at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

ok then and whats OP mean? also when i run flashtool it asks for a login and password?? i dont have one so cant use it? how did you use flashtool without any login info
[G2 General] hyelton:
The original post/first post. With the guide. Where you got the tot file
[G2 General] hyelton:
You really should follow the guide, it's asking for the password because you didn't put the mega lock dll file in the FlashTool folder.
[G2 General] jordanclayton1995:
but when flashtool completed downloading. it wasnt saved as a folder
[G2 General] hyelton:
When you install it it installs in a folder. Go to where it's installed and you copy over the megalock dll file

May be a D800. But open the screws and see on top left
[G2 General] Superorb:
If I received my phone with 5.0.2 how do I go back to that and also unroot? D800.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Are you wanting to go back to 5.0.2 stock? You'll have to follow the OP but theres no Lolliop TOT for the D800 so You'll need to OTA update to get back to lollipop. (Which sadly only works if your on AT&T) If your on AT&T then you shouldnt have a problem.
[G2 General] Superorb:
My phone is having problems so I want to return it with the version I received it in. I'm on Cricket so not AT&T.

I took a nandroid backup before I flashed Cloudy, can I just wipe and flash the backup and be good to go? Or do I need to do something to get rid of the recovery and root I added? I'm sending it back to a seller on ebay, so I don't know if they'd even check for root before issuing a refund.
[G2 General] "E"ster78:
Why isn't there a 12b TOT file for the VS980?

And do you need to have the according bootstack/modem flashed on your device before?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Because tot files are not that easy to come by as well as newer devices don't even have a tot yet. You'd need to flash an older one and ota update
[G2 General] hyelton:
The backup Wont replace recovery. Your best bet is to flash it back to stock. But sadly you won't be able to have it on the same software version.
[G2 General] Kaplani:
I've been working on my phone for over 8 hours straight now and this is what's been happening. I installed a ROM that's hosted on XDA that IS approved for my LS980 by Sprint. In the beginning I could not get past fastboot. Now I have Download and stock Recovery.

I tried your method of returning the phone to its original factory stock settings using the LG Flash Tool (2015, TOT method) with the Megalock.dll and the "universal" .dll flash file, in case I received any model mismatch errors. I am still getting errors.
[G2 General] hyelton:
First off anything you do to your phone is your own responsibility.

You get the model mismatch because the ROM you installed was probably built on a different model. If you still have twrp flash a different from.

Google tot hex edit. And edit the tot file so it'll flash.
[G2 General] Kaplani:
It's working now :D

I don't know how but it's working now :D :D :D

Where's the donate button (sure it's in the front)
[G2 General] hyelton:
Its to the left below my name :D. Thanks! But so did it just randomly work? or do you remember the exact error it was giving?
[G2 General] KaranBhoir:
help

i have rooted my g2 d802 international model ... i dont have custom recovery installed just rooted and i want to go back to fully stock (unroot my phone)... so is it safe to restore firmware or should i install custom recovery first if anything happens(like people reporting abt stuck at 49% error)

so i can flash another rom then try restoring again ?:confused:
[G2 General] Sean473:
Anyone got the 080210c update in the UK? Also if I root, can I still have OTA or I will have to manually flash kdz or something? Also if I install custom recovery, I won't be able to install OTA right?

49% stucked

for who still have the 49% issue, i finally manage to fix my phone.

i try every steps and tips said here for fix it and nothing helped, but i try the last 3 things and worked. dunno if were all of them combined, or some of them.

- changed COM to port 41

- disabled MODEM on device manager

- wiped all, system, data, cahce, dalvik. - yes i started the update without system on my phone, i had only the recovery working.

before this try i made one unrooted and dont worked, so isnt root related as some people here suspected.

*** if this steps helped you, hit that little thanks button, i will apreciate!
[G2 General] gerald410:

Hello, I got into download mode but the LG software doesn't work for me.

All cases are grey and I can't input anything or change any value.

Now my phone is stuck with "firmware update" on the screen (but I did not even start an update).

How can I reboot into normal use?

Thanks
[G2 General] Redbyte97:
but the only thing i can do is going in the download mode
[G2 General] Method760:
Sorry, downloaded the Zip but inside theres no .kdz file
[G2 General] Kaplani:
The ROM that I flashed that led to the fastboot claimed my model name was LF01 or something.

As far as I know, I didn't do anything differently. I just followed your steps once more (re-downloaded some files) and ran the LG Flash Tool per your instructions. Thank you again. It's great having a phone :D
[G2 General] hyelton:
Strange, could had been the tot file then. Download could had been courpt. Glad it's working for you now! When downloading large files try using something like free download manager it helps sometimes.
[G2 General] heartprincebiki:
my device is lg 802 Indian 16g version. which tot file should i download?

because in kdz method the language selection bar doesn't appear for me
[G2 General] hyelton:
A D802 16GB tot.

You don't need to select a language to use the kdz method. Just click okay. The kdz method works fine.
[G2 General] [] AL []:
Hey hyelton,

Firstly: awesome support man - thank ypu! And thanks for not giving up on the same questions that pop out over and over...

I finally place my order for a Verizon variant just a few hours ago and I can't wait to get my hands on that new toy as I've been reading xda G2 threads for the last couple weeks or so.

I have no real question about kdz or tot fkr now, but that last post of yours reminded me something: shouldn't there any md5 checksum included in the StorageCow download folders?

I haven't check the tot ones yet, but I know that I couldn't verify my 24A kdz 2.1GB download...

As for the (free) download managers, I don't trust them and would never use them - but that's just me.

[emoji14]

Thanks again for all your great support and hosting those important files.

[emoji111]
[G2 General] hyelton:
Your welcome :) Yeah I liked the G2 better than the G3. The G3 did not last long haha.

Yeah I've tried a few ways of implementing md5 checksum for StorageCow its just currently it has so many hits and one concern is if I change to a new script it'll break all my links. As well as before when testing it really put a huge load on my server, But for the past 2 months I've been testing something new that may work fairly well, I just need to get to finishing it up and make it live to replace the current one. Which I hope to be doing in the next month or so when I start to get more free time.

When using a legit download manager I've had 100% success rate on all the downloads From slow hosting providers and so on a download manager makes things so much better. Like SamMobile for example, It'll download at 20kbps on a Gigabit connection in chrome, put the link in a download manager where it uses multi threads I at least get a reasonable speed. A download manager makes things more stable. But I will only recommend FDM and IDM they are some dodgy ones out there. but IDM and FDM are great.

One last thing about the md5 stuff, Flashtool will FAIL straight out both KDZ and TOT methods if its a corrupt download so no worries when it comes to that.

Enjoy your G2!! I'm actually awaiting this Friday for the iPhone 6S. (Kill me now!) haha.
[G2 General] Superorb:
So there's no way to replace TWRP with the stock recovery?
[G2 General] hyelton:
You might can via fastboot but I never have other than flashing back to stock fully.
[G2 General] Superorb:
And unfortunately there's no way to go back to stock 5.0.2 so that's not an option. I'm on Cricket so I won't get the OTA update either.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yeah. Why you returning it if you don't mind me asking?
[G2 General] Superorb:
It can't hold a signal to save its life. I've missed half the calls/texts and I've never missed anything with my old LG F6. I'm hoping the seller has another one I can exchange for.
[G2 General] [] AL []:
Thanks for info and wishes.

6S...: traitor! To the chopping block!

I didn't know that it would required new scripts to get the md5 info of the server.. I just thought that adding a text file to each folder with the info could be enough (but still a headache to do I realize). Anyway, like you said, if the flashing abort when bad files are used then all this is kind of covered.

Enjoy your___ (no proper word comes to my mind)

Cheers
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yes I could do that, but I have thousands of files I'd have to go through so that's what makes it difficult for me to do. But I will be implementing something better soon which will be server side so it'll be automatic.

Yeah I understand! . But that doesn't mean I leave Android :) I still use it day to day. It's just the iPhone is my personal use. And then I have my Android to play around with :). My Android is home to my 867-5309 line !
[G2 General] heartprincebiki:
hello bro thanks for the reply but the tot file are in .exe extention?

how to make it tot
[G2 General] hyelton:
When you open it. It extracts
[G2 General] Taqieddine:
So i did like you said , and it's D800

what i should do ?
[G2 General] hyelton:

[G2 General] Taqieddine:
this is the error when am trying to flash it with D800 tot '' CrossDL (D802) to (D800) .SWversion 00000064

i try both DLL
[G2 General] hyelton:
That's due to flashing a D802 firmware.

You'll need to use a hex editor to edit the D800 tot file, http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404/post56961336

Wanting to double check.

So last yeah I rooted my Verizon LG G2 with stumproot. I only did it so i could use tethering apps with a new provider. Sometime between my phone auto updating to Lollipop and now it has apparently become unrooted. Although stumproot and my phone says it is. Root checker says it isn't. Was just wanting to confirm this is my best course of action. was going to do the flash KDZ rom method. Then I was going to just reroot it. Everything should be gravy then? And the version im choosing is the current version/lollipop that it has now. that is correct right? Thanks in advance
[G2 General] Taqieddine:
i will do that sir thank you so much
[G2 General] [] AL []:
Yo!

I'm sorry to O-T again, but I have a dilemma that I have to resolve within the next half day or so...

I rushed an order in and was expecting to receive a VS980 but got a LS980 instead.

So no wireless charging, but a working FM radio. Bigger buttons and slightly thinner case. ...

But I want to run CM11 and to my knowledge, the LS980 only has the official M9 snapshot available. Which runs based on JB.

On the other hand, the VS980 has an unofficial KK based Nov4 nightly build (past M12 snapshot) which is apparently much more stable than the above...

Any thoughts or counter indications about the LS980?

I saw that only TOTs are available for it... ...

Any input really welcomed, can't wait to get a G2 running CM...

Edit:

the phone was rooted, but volume down + power two times didn't do anything.

Soft info page:

Looks stock to me, but first steps on this phone... Excellent so far, but the light theme ui ouch!

[emoji16]
[G2 General] hyelton:
First of all did you root? or was it already rooted? If it was already rooted I'd return that! Its a very small chance since its a LS980 but usually when a phone comes rooted means its been tampered with or is not the model that its stated in the software, OR I have also seen then rooted because they had there IMEI repaired (which is illegal) So I'm guessing your going to be using this phone on a GSM network? like AT&T or T-Mobile? As you wont be able to use it on Verizon since its a Sprint Phone. But also the LS980 is not as happily usable on certain firmware with a sim card unlike the VS980 which will work fine.

Yes the LS980 is TOT only which would mean you would use my TOT method (also in the OP) to flash it.

Sorry I cannot speak on custom roms, when I had the G2 it was back in the Jelly bean days, and I also kept it as stock (I actually love the LG UI)

And it may not of had a custom recovery installed, it could had been rooted because something needed to be changed.
[G2 General] Envy-X:
Im trying ToT method as other one didnt work, but im confused into what im supposed to download. Ive installed flashtools and drivers, ive downloaded megalock dll file and my kdz which is UK OPEN 16GB KitKat D80220D_00.kdz, what other files do i download?
[G2 General] hyelton:
What do you mean by the kdz method did not work? Why not?

Also the TOT method you download and use a TOT not a KDZ.
[G2 General] jaboneros:
Trying to flash the Europe OPEN D80230b KDZ file (from //Xda/LG G2/Stock/Lollipop/32GB/) to my D802 but unsuccessful.

Any help appreciated.

Pictures of my attempt here
[G2 General] Envy-X:
Which TOT file?

My problem is same as his.

Same problem :P
[G2 General] hyelton:
First of all, The Network connection error is normal. You just move that window over. But .it its not flashing then its due to a rom thats currently on your phone, and in which you'd need to do the TOT method.

You flash the tot that matches your model. If you have a D802 then you flash a D802 tot if you have a D802 16GB varient then flash a D802 TOT that has 16GB in the file name.
[G2 General] Murshad007:
Flash D80020C Tot.

Then root and install Super SU. Manually Update to 20K, 20U 20Y and then Lollipop

Then full Unroot and do a factory reset.
[G2 General] [] AL []:
Hi there,

The phone was already rooted and had no custom recovery. But that doesn't make me too worried as I bought a few phones before here and they were all rooted also (and sometimes had philz on). I believe the phone was legit (I mean it was a real LS980) because the Spirit FM radio app worked on it and it is only working on Sprint and the international [and I doubt that they were "kind" enough the send me a d802]. Also, most of the firmware/MB mismatch issues I've seen reported were with the d802 [which was my original choice, but I now prefer not to take that risk].

I live in China, so I will be on one of the 3 state controlled carriers which I believe all use 900/1800 bands for gsm. There might have been IMEI tampering, that I don't know; it is not the most law/legitimate abiding place in the world... But I think that it being rooted is mainly because they added a few system apps to help chinese users experience.

But I did take your kind advice in consideration and have decided to return it and I will get a VS980 ordered when I get the refund.

The phone also had a slight problem on one area of the display were it would show that rainbow colors slight discoloration (like when you press tok hard on an lcd) not around but above where my finger woulx press.

Last nail in the coffin was that I tried to get a GPS lock and that didn't succeed. I first tried on airplane mode and would only see 0/1 satellite. Then I turned off airplane mode (but withoit sim card in) and then eventually got about 20 satellite shown, but none ever locked in. I even tried a couple more gps test/fix app to reset/redownload a-gps data, but still no dice. I don't really know if this could be due to not having a sim in or not though (but since there is 'emergency called only", there has to be some sort of link to comm towers...). And that was when I've hit the factory reset and put everything back in the box...

Anyhow, long post for not much value added info here, but I wanted to say thanks for your support again. Hopefully, I'll have better news and a problem free new toy in a few days...

Cheers

[G2 General] petrasl27:
Can I install any TOT files if I have D802 and my firmware version should be BALTICS?
[G2 General] hyelton:
You cannot install just any tot file, it has to match your model #. You could flash a generic D802 tot. But there's no baltics tot you'll have to use a kdz
[G2 General] hyelton:
Your welcome! :)
[G2 General] petrasl27:
I use kdz, but the lg flash tool 2014 just stucks at 2%. Maybe you could help me? I don't have any ideas what I should do :crying::crying::crying::crying: I have LG bootloop, I can enter download mode and thats it :crying::crying:
[G2 General] hyelton:
Then use a generic D802 tot and then use the kdz method. The reason could be due if your currently running or was running a custom rom.
[G2 General] petrasl27:
Yes, I had cloudy g2 3.3 and installed wrong TWRP with AutoRec.. Is generic d802 tot located somewhere here http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/D802+tot/ ??
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yes. But make sure you flash the one that matches your size
[G2 General] petrasl27:
but there are two files:

BIN_LGD802AT-00-V10a-425-02-SEP-05-2013-16G+0.exe

LGD802AT-V10b-EUR-XX-SEP-07-2013-16G.exe

Which one should I take?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Well if you have a 16GB model then flash either. The difference is just the version.
[G2 General] petrasl27:
I will get TOT file from that .exe, right? And after I flash them, what will happen to my phone? Should it boot to recovery or sth? Or I should enter download mode once again and try to flash .kdz with lg flash tool 2014?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Everything is in the OP. And yes it'll extract when you open it. You flash it when phone is in download mode and when it's done it'll reboot. Then you can update using the kdz.
[G2 General] petrasl27:
sorry mate, I'm just really nervous about my bricked phone.. If I manage to get it working I won't flash any roms ever......

Guys, I see a lot of questions asked here that could easily be answered by reading the OP or around xda a bit. This isn't even a Q&A thread or even in the Q&A section...

But most importantly, I see many good answers given by hyelton and no one seems to even bother or see fit to hit the "Thank" button....

It's free, it helps other users spotting valuable answers more easilly and it's just the least one can do really... Just a little additional sign of gratitude.

Please consider trying it out...

[G2 General] hyelton:
You cannot brick your phone if you stick to the model. No that's NOT AT&T... AT&T is a D800
[G2 General] hyelton:
Thank you :). I do need to clean up the OP in the next few days when I get the time to make it more appealing to read. But most of everything is there. Or if it's not I've said it or posted it a good amount of times.
[G2 General] petrasl27:
Oh my god, it turned on.... But I can't stay with that firmware right? What I have to install now?

Can I use official LG update program?
[G2 General] hyelton:
You can stay with it. It's just an old version. You can try official LG update it might work. But if not just download a new kdz and use the kdz method to flash it.
[G2 General] petrasl27:
oh my god man... I can't believe there are lots people like you on xda, it's not the first time this forum gets my a** out of trouble. PM me with instructions on how I can donate to you

[G2 General] tellorin:
I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this, but I couldn't find anywhere else or find an answer to people who had the same problem.

So I just flashed back to stock, and did all the software updates that were available. I'm on a D800 and actually am on AT&T currently running 4.4.2. How do you get to stock lollipop? I did this whole process to get stock lollipop, but it isn't showing up in the software updates.
[G2 General] hyelton:
So you are on AT&T ? And not an AT&T mnvo like cricket? What's it say when you try to update? Does it say not registered?
[G2 General] tellorin:
Yes. When I tap on "Update now" it just says my device is up to date.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Have you tried doing a factory reset a couple of times?
[G2 General] tellorin:
I'm still on 4.4.2, but now there's an update that is 726 MB. So I'm assuming that's lollipop. Thank you very much!

[G2 General] hyelton:
What problem? There's no problem with that model. Also this is the wrong forums. Your in the G2 section.
[G2 General] waleedJA:
sorry idk why i wasn't able to quote at the first time there was a guy getting CrossDL error when trying to flash sprint rom on lg g2 i'm having the same problem with my g3 so i thought the solution would be the same
[G2 General] hyelton:
I run both guides. You could had posted there.

But that error is due to running a custom rom built on a different model. You'll need to use a hex editor on the tot file then it'll flash.
