LG G2 D802 32GB LTE- touch screen issue after flashing stock ROM

I recently brought my third unlocked G2 from ebay , first 2 were a gift to my Wife and Dad brought from Amazon

This time, I connected to LG PC suite, it poped a message related to update . I opted for it as it was just my 2 day of use, once the procedure was done, there was no error logs on the Suite, but my phone was soft bricked :(

I had updated the previous 2 G2's using OTA method , and never faced this issue.

I tried to put the device to download mode, but it will stay there for about 2 seconds and exit to fastboot. After going through this thread, one member has suggested that the partition might be corrupted, So I did restoring laf.img and now the device enters download mode

I tried the option from LG support tool , from settings provided the IMEI number and it detected it and automatically started flashing , the tool itself downloaded an image , but after this still it went to soft brick state. This time it didn't corrupt the partition related to recovery

From the IMEI number, found out that it was a model made for Hong Kong, so I started downloaded stock roms for HGK 32 GB version

I could flash it , but once it boots up , the touch screen doesn't work properly, random restarts and moreover I couldnt even come out of the initial settings due to touch issue

I tired some versions ending with B, D , but all in vain

Then I downloaded Europe ROM , still same , sometimes touch screen doesnt work at all

Did anyone else face this issue ?

Will the laf.img differ for 16/32 GB models ?

Please help me , I think the PC suite updated my phone with US ROM and soft bricked it, while OTA handles this issue very well. LG should stop allowing updates through suite if they don't have it validated properly, Shame LG , wasting peoples time and no response if we mail their customer care

The device was working properly when I brought, was not rooted and was on stock ROM itself , LG PC suite corrupted it
[G2 General] Silverdace:
I've found out that the KDZ I was flashing was the wrong one. In XDA they have a F320S21r version but checking

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with xxs replaced by IMEI I see that the firmware should be F320S21U_00.

Downloading now and fingers crossed this fixes it.

When I flashed the previous KDZ I could only do it with CDMA mode selected. 3GQPT only ever got to 49% then would reload. So maybe flashing CDMA doesn't flash all partitions correctly for a GSM phone?

It would explain why it wasn't working for me.

UPDATE:

no dice still saying usim cannot be identified.

I'm stumped. Must be hardware fault.

I've just got this phone yesterday long story short bricked once stuck in fastboot was able to restore but now when I try and do it using the kdz method it gets stuck at "couldn't connect to server please try again" then doesn't restore phone goez to retry option and just gets stuck at unable to restore with my only option to exit. I have tried multiple things:

Run on different computer

Re-download

Run as admin

Run in compatibility mode

I've tried almost everything I can think of. So I went to the tos method and I can get to screen and press the yellow arrow but after that it says ready in the com41 box what do I do after that nothing is happening on my screen I'm in download mode after I replaced laf.bin would go with out it. Please help soon. I have all the right drivers. I tried it on my Windows 7 and 8 machines as well as different cables not sure what to do now. I should also mention its Verizon g2

I just downloaded files for my sprint lg ls-980 but when I try to flash using lg flash tool, it says that different phone model whereas the files are of ls-980. Please help me to resolve this issue... :(
[G2 General] :
Before rooting and installing a custom rom in my brand new LG G2 I want to make sure I want to go back to stock.

I have European version D802 - I checked on phone and I downloaded Europe OPEN D80220D_00.kdz

Downloaded LG Drivers

Downloaded LG Flash Tool 2014

I'm on 4.4.2 but the phone it says it has some updates, if I update it will I continue being D80220D?

In case some day I need to go back to stock, would this install exactly the Factory reset Stock Rom I just have now? or there is a more "secure" way to go back to stock In case I need to send it for warranty?

and the main question comes here: why does the Europe OPEN D80220D_00.kdz doesn't have a 16GB or 32GB on it?

EDIT: ****! After updating Im on D80220f can I freely flash the D version in case something goes wrong?

thank you

[G2 General] wonton9224:
what?

I've found plenty of tutorials pointing to using a KDZ method with the LG Flash Tool. I looked at the OP and I can't find where it says that US versions require TOT method (there's both .kdz and .tot methods listed under verizon) But if that's true then why is there a VS98024A_11.kdz file? I've downloaded it and the flash tool already, but you're saying I can't use it? I'm so confused, gotta get my wife's phone back to stock firmware! My wife's phone model is a vs980 It's rooted and has twrp installed. I'm trying to get it back to stock firmware so we can trade it in through verizon's edge program. I can unroot it easily but I'm having trouble finding an easy way to get rid of the custom recovery, is there a way to flash stock recovery without flashing the stock firmware? thank you
[G2 General] hyelton:
The Verizon VS980 & T-Mobile D851 are the ONLY USA Model G2 that have kdz firmwares available for them..

The poster has an LS980 which is a Sprint Version which ONLY has the TOT method to it.., Your VS980 can be flashed either via the TOT or KDZ method..

Hey there, I own a D802, first it was Europe OPEN D80220D_00.kdz (stock)

but when I updated from stock it changed to D80220F

then I rooted and installed a custom rom!

If any day I want to go back could I install Europe Open D80220D_00.kdz??? is there a 32gb version of the Europe Open? If so, why I can't find it in the downlad page? All the Europe OPEN versions seem to have no 16GB or 32GB in their titles

Thanks for the help!
[G2 General] hyelton:
Hi the letter at the end is the software version. Meaning F Is newer than D. And yes you flash D over F. Also what do you mean they all say 16GB. I see 3 Open Europe firmwares there and none say they're 16gb

Hey,

Im trying the TOT version and everything looks good up until the point where i click the yellow arrow at the top left as instructed and then all the other ports other then COM42 show up as disabled and COM42 shows up as 'Ready!' thing is now what do i do and if i have done something wrong please let me know.

Also currently i seem to have the same fastboot screen for recovery and download mode is this correct?

As for the first version i follow all of the instructions however it pops up with a box in the LG mobile support tool saying 'the phone is disconnected from the pc. Connect the USB cable and wait for a moment. Press the Retry button to resume the setting analysis process.'

I click retry and the same box pops up again. Am i supposed to have a working download mode for this as i followed the instructions from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2477595

And this made my download mode into another copy of fastboot like my recovery. Please can someone help as this is way over my head :(

Thanks!
[G2 General] :
Hello there thanks for solving one of my doubts!

I will try to explain it correctly..

In your post you say this:

"First Off Not Responsible if you flash the wrong one!!!!

Please Check to make sure you don`t flash a 16GB firmware on an 32GB device. Please check the file names if they have an "16GB" in the File Name"

and in this link: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/

on the Europe OPEN D80220D_00.kdz you can't see if it is 16gb or 32gb. I have the D802 International 16GB one, so I'm not sure if this is the kdz I should flash.

On the other hand, if you go to the Italy folder for example:

Italy OPEN 16GB D80220F_00.kdz in this one you can see it is the 16GB version or In germany folder too..

I ordered my LG G2 from amazon the European version and the only thing I know it is the 16GB D802 and came with Europe OPEN D80220D_00.kdz and after updating it was Europe OPEN D80220F_00.kdz which you already told me I can go back to D without a problem, but there are many international kdz ones, some of them state 16GB and others don't, some are from Germany Italy etc..

EDIT: TO MAKE it clearer what I'm meaning. If it doesn't have 16GB or 32GB it means it works for both? or just for the 32GB one?

i have flashed the LS980 "Sprint" stock firmware...

process went smooth and hassle free.

1) The firmware does not contain any of the Sprint software.

(minor, updating 'profile' and 'software update' restores Sprint apps)

2) biggest problem: bootup no longer shows Sprint logo...

a glaring sign the phone has been modified.

is there a way to restore Sprint logo on boot? or a proper Sprint firmware for LG G2?

Hello everybody, I just bought my LG G2 today, and when I took it home and looked in the softver a little bit more I released that it shows that its running D800 firmware, but on the back cover it shows that its D802, so what do I do can I flash D802 on it of not, when I tried it stops at 2% and fails, but I have now clue then to how can it have D800 firmware on it if the back cover shows different.

[G2 General] robogo1982:
As far as I know, LG unified the ROMs so there are no more 16 GB and 32 GB ROMs, they are all the same. If you can't get your phone to boot, you may have done something wrong. Are you sure you flashed a ROM for the correct model?

That's for the G3 not the G2. So on the G2 it does matter. But its not gonna cause you to not be able to get into download mode

This method didn't work for me, but the old one did.

But to be fair, perhaps it was my fault, since the first time i tried it on a virtual machine and it failed (making it go straight to download mode), the second time i tried on an old XP machine i have and it didn't started the flash precess. But the old method worked there. Thank you.

LG G2 - Picture Step Sadness

Are the picture steps for the kdz method broken links? Does anyone have a mirror for that stuff? I tried going to hunterspad.com and it doesn't seem to be around anymore :(. I finally gave up on that and tried out the tot method. I followed all of the steps carefully and everything went smoothly until I started up the LG flash tool. It appeared to be updating but my device stayed at 0%. It doesn't specify in the post but I left the action setting for the flash tool as 'Upgrade DL' as there were no instructions to do otherwise. I left it for an hour and came back and it hadn't gotten any further. Could someone help me out with either the broken links or anything I may have missed in the TOT method?
