First off, awesome, awesome guide. Thank you for being a paragon of excellence in the android community. Keep it up. Really f***ing amazing.

So this is my problem (not my phone but same problem) and I am trying to do the TOT method. I have no way of verifying whether or not I am download mode as I can't see anything on the screen, but I forced the computer to use the download mode drivers when the phone is plugged in.

I have all the right files for my model, and I am running as adminstrator. When I click the yellow arrow, it goes through a couple of quick splash screens then "BIN CRC Check" then everything stops and it has the yellow box with READY!! on port 41. But nothing is clickable other than to exit the program. Nothing is happening to the phone. It just stays there.

Any ideas on what to do?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Your welcome! :).

Okay so make sure your using a usb 2.0 port as usb 3.0 wont work. And you held down volup while phone was off and while plugging in usb

Also make sure you changed lge serial or lge androidnet under communication ports to com41. If you've already done that and stuck at the yellow ready did you unplug and replug? Most of the time you have to do that.

I'm guessing the screen on your phone is dead?
[G2 General] walkingagh:
YES! RUNNING NOW! Sweet!

Screen may be a bit busted. We will have to see after firmware update. That would kinda suck, but better than nothing!
[G2 General] Karim Ahmad:
Which bin to download in d802 tot and what is the difference between the three and is this the S/W file to add in lg flash tool tot method

There is connection error in kdz method
[G2 General] hyelton:
what do you mean by connection error? As in? If it's server connection error you drag that window over and don't click on anything That's normal
[G2 General] Karim Ahmad:
I Have attached the images and retried several times
[G2 General] Karim Ahmad:
I have posted the images Plz check
[G2 General] hyelton:
So your using a USB 2.0 cable correct? As USB 3.0 will cause that issue. Did you make sure the com port shows up in device manager?

If above is correct just use the tot method and use the file that matches your model and storage space.
[G2 General] Karim Ahmad:
I have tried the other method u suggested now

I was asking about that sir. What is the difference between these three bin in the d802tot file

I have already downloaded the dll file

?
[G2 General] hyelton:
If you have a 16GB then you choose the 16GB file. If you have 32Gb model then choose 32GB file.
[G2 General] Karim Ahmad:
I have d802 16gb India

Can u send the exact link from this link( http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/D802+tot/LG ) provided by you

Happy
[G2 General] hyelton:
Then you would flash the one ending in 16GB
[G2 General] Karim Ahmad:
I've started the download. Thanks to you

Then that would be the S/W file to add when using tot method

Happy new year

Stock rom. Custom kernel use. Happy phone
[G2 General] MikeViller:
I have a brick d803 phone here, I am able to get into download mode and when using the lg flash tool 2014 and flashing the stock kdz file the installation stop at 2% in the process of installing the firmware. ?

before the phone was stuck in flashboot mode, did the flashboot routine for the boot, the aboot, the recovery, and the laf. also did a hard reset.

the phone is stuck at lg logo. or download mode.

thanks if you can help.

as I understand tere is no tot method for the d803.
[G2 General] hyelton:
At this case your best chance is to use the tot method which the Rogers D803 tot is available.
[G2 General] MikeViller:
ok thanks phone is back I used the Bell tot and the dll listed on the web page LGUP_8974.dll
[G2 General] hyelton:
Awesome ;). Glad that fixed it.
[G2 General] :
does anybody know how to recovery the files from storage? I used tot method since kdz method was not working :( I really need to recover the files that were deleted :c
[G2 General] LineArc:
no download mode

hey, i did every thing and followed every guide i came across, my set is not dead, it is working but is on jellybean, i want to revert to stock but somehow i could not load download mode, it does appear for a couple of seconds but vanishes and is taken by fastboot.

already tried flashing the different partitions

need your help...
[G2 General] hyelton:
Sorry there's not really any way to get back files. There's prob tools out there but the success rate is extremely low.
[G2 General] Karim Ahmad:
Use srk tool
[G2 General] :
yes, I have read of those a while ago. sadly, mtp or anything the same cannot be recovered. why would Google change usb to mtp? what is wrong with them :(
[G2 General] JHW3:
Silly question, but where do I get the latest Kitkat tot file for the D800? I used the guide in the first post to recover my phone (followed all instructions exactly) from a near-brick situation but got back to 4.2.2. I'm not on AT&T (my phone is unlocked) so I can't rely on an OTA update. Thanks.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Sadly you cannot. What's in the Op links is the latest for the D800. Only way past that is ota which you cannot or custom rom.
[G2 General] JHW3:
That's good to know. So now I'm on Jellybean and even though I've rooted, to get anywhere I need to get TWRP on my phone. I've tried Flashify, RASHR, TWRP Manager without success. In each case, flashing the latest TWRP "seems" to work but when I attempt to reboot to recovery, it just goes to a blank screen (have to do a hard shutdown by holding down the power button) But I guess that's a subject for another thread.
[G2 General] JHW3:
Now that I re-read this, how did [MENTION=6693107]kierkegaardesque[/MENTION] flash the latest kitkat tot for his D800 whereas I'm only able to get Jellybean 4.2.2?
[G2 General] hyelton:
I think they meant jellybean as there is NO KitKat tot for the D800
[G2 General] najjurocks619:
I ordered lg g2 korean version (f320) from aliexpress and it will be reaching to me anytime by tomorrow or they after that so i was wondering which lollipop stock should i flash mine is 32gb model and in lollipop folder there is only f320s f320k f320l is it safe to flash that on 32gb model or there is something else, please reply guys.

Thanks in advance
[G2 General] hyelton:
The Korean models only came in 32GB.. Why won't you just OTA update?

Also be sure it's an actual F320 first by removing the back. A lot of G2s sold from China or Alieexpress are not what they say they are and are usually a D800 or D801.

Also why try for the Korean version? Unless you live in South Korea it's one of the worst models to have.
[G2 General] JHW3:
OK. I'm in a bind then, as every attempt to install TWRP (with Flashify, Autorec, RASHR, etc.) results either in a black screen or an apparent success (TWRP screen comes up) followed by a boot loop with flashing green-blue-green LED (I need to go back to the first post here and get back to Jellybean again). So I can't figure out how to get past Jellybean.
[G2 General] hyelton:
I'm not sure what's going wrong, I put twrp on my D800 a week ago with no problem.
[G2 General] JHW3:
I'm going to start a thread in the Help forum later tonight, as right now my inquiries are in a bunch of different threads.

[G2 General] najjurocks619:
I prefer korean because it has removable back and sd support, btw you are right about that they send any product so i'll make sure which model it is and i wan't to ota update but will it b safe?? i asked the seller about that so he replied me do not update it manually if you are not professional it may cause problem to function that's why i am worried, will it be safe if i do ota or flash stock and if any prob occurs can i return to the current stock which was out of the box?

Thanks in advance:good:
[G2 General] hyelton:
If it's not the model it says it is, doing OTA will result in boot loop or flashing would be a whole process of having to change the model etc. But then it also wouldn't have that micro sd card slot either. If it's a fake Korean model running Korean firmware you most likely won't be able to return it to what it comes out of the box due to that.
[G2 General] Dillsnik:
Hi, thank you for this helpful thread. I have just received an F320L model and wanted to flash to a custom ROM, but first would like to flash to root, flash stock, and recovery.

I wanted to be sure to flash the correct most current stock firmware, on your links on the OP it looks like there are three FW versions listed for the Korean F320L, i just wanted to make sure i flashed the correct most current one.
[G2 General] JasontheKep:
Hey guys, I have a sprint LGG2 on the latest firmware and need to roll back to zve so I can have root. Should I be using the first method in the OP or the second one?
[G2 General] hyelton:
You would use the 2nd. Sprint only has a tot.
[G2 General] raptorddd:
am confused and dont know which file i would need. i have at&t d800 32gb unlocked. i got phone in lollipop and someday i would like to try kikat. but i dont know wich file.?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Theres only two files. And both are Jellybean. You'd had to use a custom rom if you liked to try kitkat. But You'll never have stock lollipop again, unless you put an active AT&T sim in it as the D800 will ONLY update if you have an active AT&T sim in it.
[G2 General] raptorddd:
So what you say is those are jb. files.

so what if i would like to go to kk would i still need to be on jb.? or i can just go straight to kk from lp.?

and what if theres a flashable LP rom

http://xdaforums.com/att-g2/development/rom-t3152368

(The reason why I started this project was because no one to date had provided a way to easily get to stock AT&T Lollipop, short of taking an OTA, which only works if you are on the AT&T network or via the DLPKGFILE, but that was not an easy solution and prone to errors. The advantage of my approach is potential future compatibility with AT&T's future OTA's and the advent of AUTOREC V2. If you still wish to have TWRP after first boot just download the D800 Autorec from the play store. If a future OTA arrives, then you can easily use that utility to restore the stock recovery. Another benefit of my approach has to do with root, it is maintained yet download mode doesn't detect you have root which also can aid in future updates, warranty, etc. To test this I restored my phone to stock 20C via TOT, rooted with Stump Root, installed Autorec v1 to get TWRP. After that was done I rebooted into TWRP, installed the ROM and was in Lollipop in a mater of minutes.)

i think it is different the format in the zip is .bin is that a kdz file?

would this work if i were to flash kk, then this to update back to lp.?
[G2 General] Art Vanderlay:
If you're on stock LP then you can make a system dump and make a flashable zip out of those partitions.

It might be useful to have something like that for people who wanna go to complete stock LP on d800.
[G2 General] raptorddd:
i think thats what it does the slimmed rom. on link. its slimed but has root and its stock 30f ibeleive. all you need is atutorec. to get twrp.
[G2 General] Art Vanderlay:
BTW you can also use this to flash kk. For d800 only.

What should I do to go back to stock lollipop from cyanogenmod 12.1? Because in other thread someone said that going from custom lollipop ROM will make partition problems.

And, will any EUR OPEN ROM (for example Germany Open) work on my LG G2 from israel?
[G2 General] Art Vanderlay:
Just follow the guide from the OP. When you use this method every partition gets changed so there's no worries.

And you can use any d802 rom (not d802t).
[G2 General] raptorddd:
well i do this way. i wipe all. then i use a flashable zip that has stock rom.
[G2 General] WORF84:
I got my hands on a new LG G2 D802 from Italy it seems.

I flashed Europe Open D80230b.kdz as instructed on the first post but the main language at start is Italian.

Now it's not a big deal, I just change to English but I would like to know if someone knows how to change that to set English as default.

On my other G2 D802 I bought in Sweden, the default is English.

I flashed the same exact kdz file for both G2s.

The only difference is that the new one is not rooted, never been rooted before.

Flashed with CSE Flash. I assume Factory reset won't make any difference in this case since CSE Flash does that already.

Edit: Nope factory reset made no difference.
[G2 General] hyelton:
I'm confused as to what the problem is? Lol. Just the start up? It's common with phones to have to change the language. If you boot the phone up with a sim from the USA it will start at English. If you boot the phone up with a sim from say France the start up with be at French on first boot. If no sim at all it will start up to whatever the firmware country is based on.
[G2 General] WORF84:
There is no problem, I am just curious :D

Well there is no sim at all.

If no sim at all it will start up to whatever the firmware country is based on.

This is not true, I have two different languages on first boot.

Sorry if it sounded like I had a problem :D
[G2 General] hyelton:
Two different languages on first boot? There should be several not sure how many but there should be a good bit.
[G2 General] WORF84:
Hehe yeah there are many languages to select.

That is not what I'm asking. :D

The question is how do I edit the first boot language.

Change Italian to English.

Eh I probably need to root the new phone to change it but I just would like to know how.

Can it be that the flash tool or the update checks for origin country and sets same language on the new update?

I seem to recall that the language is set in build.prop, maybe there are several build.prop files in the kdz file?

I should extract and check? :)
[G2 General] hyelton:
You'd edit the build.prop on the phone. But it doesn't make a difference on what comes up in first boot it shouldn't affect anything :)
[G2 General] raptorddd:
true i have at&t unlocked with telcel sim and mines start on english, sometimes on spanish.

yes editing the build prop is the only way.

its on system/build.prop

then search on languague, but this beign kdz i dont think you can edit them only when they are zip and can open system and see folders

What is the difference between v30a-v30h and which is the best?

And are you sure about flashing from custom lollipop ROM to stock lollipop KDZ CSE Flash? I don't want to brick my phone again :/

One is newer than the other. Higher the number or letter the newer it is. Usually with lollipop the difference is carrier versions.

Root killed OTA updates -- how to repair?

I rooted my T-mobile LG G2, and now OTA updates no longer work. To get OTA updates working, can I simply reflash the Stock ROM (without wiping data), or do I need to do something else?

Thanks....
[G2 General] hyelton:
What do you mean by reflash stock rom? By twrp? Or flash tools? As these are not roms there are factory firmwares. But you'll most likely need to wipe data as you might run into problems. But yeah OTA will never work while rooted.
[G2 General] pollytheparrot:
Is this still non-working with USB 3.0? That's all I have on my laptop lol
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yes it's not workable with USB 3.0 you must use USB 2.0
[G2 General] pollytheparrot:
Are there any ideas or workarounds you might have to be able to do this?
[G2 General] hyelton:
There's no work arounds other than using another computer and USB 2.0 port. Flashing back to stock requires download mode, and download doesn't work with USB 3.0 for some reason.
[G2 General] pollytheparrot:
Well that's bizarrely idiotic. Thanks the help, guess I'll hit up a friend's computer then

GSM Question

Hello!

Before we start talking, thanks for sharing this.

I bought LG-D801 US and I want to use in Argentina.

The phone does not connect to the carrier, and should, as it is compatible with Argentine bands.

I read that this phone comes with KitKat stock, and this phone has CyanogenMod nightly, so I guess that returning to KitKat, I could fix this problem.

Which rom should I download? The phone is T-Mobile. Here is used GSM, CDMA does not.

Should I change some settings in the tutorial you did?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my rusty English :eek:
[G2 General] hyelton:
Little confused. The D801 is a GSM phone not CDMA. T-Mobile is GSM. Are you sure the phone is unlocked AND your putting in the correct apn settings for you carrier?
[G2 General] sandunga:
---

Thanks for ultra quickly answer!

You're right, I said CMDA guiding me through the pictures of the tutorial .. The phone is unlocked

The apn settings are correct. The signal carrie sometimes work and sometimes not.

I saw that behavior before on phones that had differents os than stock, that i supose backing to stock could fix this problem. Sorry again for my english.

I finally solved the issue. Thank you for the following solution.....

As a new user I'm unable to provide the link......you can google / search for following for solution

Search for "lg-g2-cross-dll-or-device-model-different-or-fotalaf-partion-changed-solved" by ezpg

The only thing I would like to add here is ... I used following parameters when I ran (as Adminstrator) Flash tool which clean everything and flashed the firmware

Select Type: CDMA

Phone Mode: CS_EMERGENCY

Upgrade with CSMG Client: CSE Flash (instead of Normal)

Hope this will help....

Thank you all!

LG G2 Unrooting issues

Hi,

having some trouble, I have a LG G2 805, anyways the real problem is getting it to unrooted. I have tried everything. I have tried modifying the RCTD file, which appears to not exist. I have tried wiping all data (I have twrp) several times. Even TWRP recognizes that the phone is not rooted, but whenever I enter download mode it shows rooted.

I believe this is the only thing stopping me, given that all the other files are ready.

Thank you for all this work
[G2 General] hyelton:
You would need to flash back to stock using the method to remove the rooted from download mode. Having twrp in general means rooted/modded.
[G2 General] Xikhari:
Thanks for the fast response, I really did not expected an answer this early,

I don't fully understand what you mean by the "download mode". If by this you mean modifying the RCT.cfg file, then I have already tried that. This method won´t work because there is no RCT.cfg file. The phone is completly wiped out.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Sorry I have no clue what the RCT file is. Download mode is what you use to flash factory stock firmware. If you still have twrp that's why you still see "rooted"

Sorry, don't want to bore or annoy you guys, but because no one answered my question I'm retrying my luck. I'd really like to know if unrooting the D802 lets disappear the "rooted" in the download mode screen.

Why are so many users having problems with this unroot? Really no offense to [MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION], I really appreciate you sharing your skills with xda, many thanks, and this is not a sign of disrespect or something like that. It's just that I wanna go safe with everything I do with my new awesome G2 BEFORE I do it, lol. And not whining AFTER a brick. That's the reason why I'd like to understand what the difficulty is and to know if I could safely unroot in case I want to.
