I hope someone can help me. I am trying to get back to stock 4.2.2 but it keeps failing. I am doing exactly what is needed according to the new instructions on page 1. Everything is great till Phone Update starts analysing. It gets to the part where it reads the imei and _SetAuthMark and then it fails.

At the top of the program it says problem with communication between cell phone and PC.

Here is the complete log:

[G2 General] sspoko:
I have the same problem "No Upgrade item to fix" can someone help me? I have tried everything please help guys.

Guys when i run "Automatic Offline Procedure.vbs" i have error show that Cannot find item. Code:800A0035
[G2 General] Tutti-frutti:
Got the exact same message.. but I don't know how to fix this.

I started the http server, and changed the host file, such that B2CAppSetup will think that it is connected to the real `csmg.lgmobile.com`, but instead the local http server will serve the needed data. However, when I start B2CAppSetup which is included in the KDZ_FW_UPD_EN folder, it says it requires to be connected to the internet, and won't load untill I remove the mapping from the hosts file.

How can I fix this issue?

P.s. in the OP it says:

This needs some clarification. Should I copy the files within KDZ_FW_UPD_EN or should I copy the folder itself into the LGMOBILEAX folder?

Thanks in advance :)
[G2 General] Tinchoska:
3). Replace your C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX folder with the one you've just downloaded

4). Go to windows/system32/drivers/etc/ and open your hosts file! (open it with wordpad)

pint 3 theres no such a folder on my pc, i am running win seven.

point 4 it keeps telling me that i cant save it cause theres another app using that script...

anyone that can helps?
[G2 General] Howie Dub:
I figured it out, go to C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\B2C_Client and click on the B2CAppUninstall.exe. Then go back to the FlashTool folder and reinstall the B2CApp. That's what worked for me. I'd upload the exe file, but it's not a supported upload file on XDA.

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

If you have installed the LG Mobile Support Tool, that folder should exist
[G2 General] gypsy214:
Have an issue. When I edit the host file it wont save. It says it was denied?

Never mind figured it out. I think the instruction needs to be updated to be more understanable for people. It says files but people are not sure witch files

Welcome to the Club there a few of us on here with a similiar issues and no solution as of yet. I've personally been trying for two plus weeks. I have Sprint LS980 with the Bell D803 software on it!! Hopefully a solution will be found
[G2 General] somboons:
are you downgrade from 4.4.2? if yes,please hard reset after flash kdz
[G2 General] swells14:
Let us know if this works for you I can only get into download mode and perform hard resets but it did not resolve my issues. Can't into recovery either or adb as after I hard reset usb debugging was disabled and the phone continues powers on and off
[G2 General] somboons:
This solution is work for me when downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2.After I flash kdz 4.2.2 my g2 is bootloop.I get g2 into recovery mode and hard reset it.after that my g2 can boot to system.
[G2 General] sanke1:
Worked.

This is after you have downloaded and installed B2CAppSetup and copied over the files from LGMOBILEAX to same hidden directory in C:\ProgramData

1. Take ownership of hosts file

2. Then run http.exe (In shttps folder)

3. I then run the file "Automatic Offline Procedure.vbs" clock ok, accept all UAC prompts.

4. Click on Windows Enabler icon in system tray which then shows "ON"

5. UpTestEX_mod2_marwin should load too and select the kdz file and proceed to flash.
[G2 General] ianhouser:

[G2 General] lrwjr1964:
I finally got my D801 back to stock 4.2.2 from 4.4.2

After hours of beating my head and trying the method listed in this post I went a different route, I wanted to see where the LG Mobile tool was downloading the update file, Well I found it quite easily. If you look in the "C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX' folder you will see a folder named "Phone' This is where the download is kept. So I kept that folder open and I ran the LG Mobile Support Tool by itself. in the beginning the folder will be empty but as it starts to down load you will see the getting larger. So I said OK what if I change the file name from D80110C to D80120A. and replaced it. Well the only problem was that the software started to install before I could make the substitution. So I said how can I stop the install process, Easily, if you pull the cable from the phone before the program actually starts to it thinks there is a problem and pauses the install. BINGO!!! I substituted my file for the one downloaded but I renamed it to so the program would still think it was installing the D80120A update. Now mind you right after the download but before it tries to install (i pulled the cord white it was still at 0%) you need to make the file substitution. The program will ask if you want to retry and you say yes. It will continue the install. After your phone reboots it will be stuck at the T-Mobile animation screen. You have to power down your phone and go into the original recovery mode and do a factory restore. You will see the little green android character and then your phone will reboot to the set up screen and walla you are back to 4.2.2. It took me 5 hours to figure this out but being in the computer field I looked at this from a computer stand point. Now this only worked on my D801. I cannot say if it will work on any other versions. You try this at your own risk as I take no responsibility for anything that may happen to your phone. I am just trying to do my part to help this great community by sharing what I did. I hope this helps my fellow t_mobile users and others if it works. It's 2AM and I have to be up in a few hours for work.
[G2 General] edward291195:
thanks man, this thread so usefull for me :good:
[G2 General] ianhouser:
I've got a seemingly unique problem with my T-Mobile D-801. I was rooted on stock 4.2.2 and stupidly took the OTA update. It installed itself in TWRP, and now is in a weird bootloop of the T-Mobile animation and an error image of the Android guy with his stomach open.

I can get in download mode, but the LG Mobile Support Tool won't recognize my phone (Waiting for connection) despite drivers being updated and everything else. I can get to the Factory reset screen but I get a secure boot error when I try to reset. I can't really get anywhere else. I'm pretty sure the recovery is gone.

I just want to get back into TWRP to restore from a backup

Any ideas?
[G2 General] lrwjr1964:
Try what i did in my post. I ran into the same issues as you. But im back to original stock which is good enough for me.
[G2 General] daken:
i have tried this time and time and time again. cant get it to flash on my t mobile g2 can any help me what im i missing.
[G2 General] ianhouser:
I can't even get LG Mobile Support Tool to connect to my phone, let alone download anything. What do you think might work?
[G2 General] sspoko:
Guys ok for everyone that have problem with "No Upgrade Items to fix" or something like that. Be sure that you edited hosts file good just add 127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com below text in hosts, and click save, don't click "save as" casue this will not work. If you have problem with edit because of premission type in google "cannot edit hosts file premission" and you will get how to get premissions. Then run this vsb file "Authentical ble ble" it will lunch everything you need self, plug your phone, chose KDZ fle and TA DA, your phone is UP!! I was fighting with this like 6H!!!

[G2 General] 6ril1:
Does it mean that with this method we can flash any kdz just with LG Mobile Support tool online ?
[G2 General] edward291195:
after finish flash 4.2.2 kdz my d802 just boot on LG logo -__-
[G2 General] GizmoKaca:
Ensure the device is powered off.

Note Ensure the USB cable is disconnected.

Press and hold the Power button (located on the back).

Select Power off.

Select OK.

Note Allow several seconds for the device to power off.

Press and hold the Volume down button and the Power button.

When the LG logo is displayed release the Power button only then immediately press and hold the Power button again.

Release both buttons when the Factory hard reset screen displays.

Press the Power button to continue.

Hope this helps :)

Vodafone branding.

Hi guys just updated to 4.4.2 using this method and KDZ.It updated my G2 was great never lost anything.

I have D802 open europe and flashed the voda kdz is there anyway now to get rid of the Vodafone branding,?

many thanks.
[G2 General] digkong:
It tells pls update R&D tool ?

i followed all the steps
[G2 General] sanke1:
So this method is truly offline now. I believe it won't be affected even if LG updates their R&D tool in future.

The only thing LG can change is the way KDZ files are accepted on the phone. They would have to change the whole download mode itself which would be quite a work.
[G2 General] digkong:
Help
[G2 General] sas007:
This is the way i did mine.You must follow instructions implicitly.

I had the same problems as you plus others but followed this and upgraded my device first time using KDZ in OP now on 4.4.2 and lost nothing just upgraded me.
