[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] neckbonest:
ive canceled my pre order cause of it being locked down tight. i might even switch carriers
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joshm.1219:
Google edition note 3 won't happen. to many features of touchwiz they would have to retain. i mean at least they would have to keep s pen functions and gear compatibility, just doesn't make sense as an aosp model.

little difference, although it may dissuade some new development.

it seems we actually have a group of developers who are pretty loyal to the note series that will deal with the limitations of a technically locked bootloader.

...... Hate to say it but VZW is getting horrible (at least where im at) check coverage maps and if you can use AT&T or T-mobile.... id try it

Judging by the Eagles logo avatar in going to say you're from Philadelphia like me, Verizon service far exceeds everything else around here. The only reason I stay on this overcharging, bootloader-locking network.

I tend to agree with that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
I agree Verizon LTE has slowed but ATT is no better. My friend that has a ATT N2 was at my house the other day telling me how fast his service is. So I ran a speed test and pulled 8MB down, he ran the speed test and only got 2MB down. I LOL'D. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] monkey10120:
I will definitely be upgrading. Mainly because the screen.

To all of you people who say the "the human eye can't tell between 300ppi and 400ppi" I call bull. This is definitely said most by Iphone users, but go check out the dna or s4. The screens are amazing. I can look at my girlfriends s4 then back at my note 2 all I can see is pixels and jaggies. It helps that I have great near sight but my parents can see the difference and they are almost 50. No more saying 1080 screens are useless and the difference cannot be seen.

Other than that the slightly bigger screen and cpu are worth it.

Also I never use my stylus so I'm not worried about that and the back it ugly but who is not going to buy a case anyway?

Live 30 min north of Atlantic City NJ. T-mobile sucks around me and AT&T is not much better. I hate to pay VZW rates but based on where i live and i also travel for work i need a reliable service.
[Windows RT General] Cooknn:
Is there a way to create a custom tile for an internet shortcut without using an app? I downloaded "Tile Genie" but surprisingly it wants to share the screen with my shortcut. The only other solution I've seen is an EXE which I can't use since I'm running 8.1 Preview. There's got to be a registry hack I would think. Thanks in advance.

What is better with this option than other roms like Dixperia or Gin2jellybean?

Actually i did it,but this is kind of old - i think the newest roms will be better and more stable. I can be wrong,but i dont like to have old software on my phone

For now i am using Xplaystation GB v2 and.. Looks good,smooth UI,good performance,no bugs for now. But one thing makes me mad - the lock screen. Is there any addon to change lockscreen for looks like JB/ICS?

]Common Questions and Problems KDZ Method:

1.Network connection error is NORMAL, move the window over and you'll see its actually most likely flashing

2.If your getting errors when doing the kdz method and running a custom rom that could be the problem and you'll need to use the TOT method.

3. Getting connection errors? Check under device manager to make sure you see LG something related under communication ports (Windows 8/10 ports might be hidden)

Make sure your using a USB 2.0 port!! USB 3.0 will NOT work.

Common Questions and Problems TOT Method:

If having an issue try and choose Board_ID on the TOT/DLL selection screen.

Make sure you've set your COM port to COM41

If device does not start flashing besure you unplug and replug the device

Make sure your using a USB 2.0 port!! USB 3.0 will NOT work.[/CENTER]

LGUP Method:​

Flashes both KDZ & TOT files:

Thanks to [MENTION=3497790]shakeyabooti[/MENTION] for LGUP!

Download LGUP from HERE

Install the file with the DLL name in them first and then LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3 Then copy the folder "common" to C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model (this should resolve unknown error)

Make sure you have downloaded the required KDZ file MM or LP

Open LGUP on your computer "make sure your phone is plugged in"

ARE YOU HAVING TROUBLE WITH LGUP NOT SEEING YOUR MOBILE?

Try this....... take the back off your mobile so you can get at the battery. Connect your mobile via USB. Start LGUP, if it does not see your phone DO NOT DISCONNECT, DO NOT RESTART OR TURN OFF LGUP. Take out the battery and then put it back in.......let the phone restart on its own. LGUP should now see it.

LG Drivers: in First post

TO DO A FULL WIPE AND INSTALL MM - Open the LGUP on your computer. FILE PATH point it towards the MM KDZ.

IMPORTANT!!!!!!! shut down LGUP!

Now open LGUP again - you will notice that the MM KDZ will still be showing in the FILE PATH section. Select REFURBISH and make sure BIN file is ticked. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient

TO GO BACK TO LP FROM MM - Open LGUP on your computer, click on FILE PATH and point it towards your LP KDZ. Close LGUP and re-open LGUP. Make sure you select REFURBISH this will do a FULL wipe, tick BIN file. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient

For whatever reason my model is showing up as L02E above the "start upgrade button"..

On the newest 3.10 LG drivers.. Did restore recovery but it cannot seem to work..

Continually not get COM4 either..
[G2 General] milkinc:
Okay guys I just had a breakthrough in flashing back to stock. I have a LG G2 F320S korean variant rooted and previously it was always stuck at 4%. I tried a lot of methods and somehow this one thing works. I previously saw someone talking about the com port settings for the LG G2 in the device manager of the PC and I tried researching a little bit. I also went to the China forums and after some trial and error, it works. You have to the change the com port settings for the LG G2 when connected to the PC in download mode to com port 4, apparently only com port 4 works somehow. I have attached the screen capture and it's all over finally for me. Hope this helps those korean variant out there. (How to change to com port 4, well first the correct LG drivers will ensure the device appears. Then right click on the lg devices and go properties->Port settings->click advance->change com port no. to 4 and that's it. It does matter if com port 4 is already in use just change it)
[G2 General] bjc112:
Thanks for the tip... It did get me on COM4 but still no dice.

Freezing at 49% ..

Running out of options!

:eek:

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ----------

When trying to restore recovery through the Mobile Support tool it shows m IMEI as alll 00000000000 and then starts the download..

The time elapsed freezes at 12 seconds... Is it still downloading?

Do you see progress throughout the download in the mobile support toool??

Thanks so much,

I miss my G2... :(

Hi,

After a bootloop i tried this method to install stock firmware again on my european lg g2.

All went well but after restarting thew phone it was still stuck on the lg logo?

Now when i try to install the firmware again it gives me an error in the flash tool (something about a page error?)

What can i do to get my g2 back to stock again? :confused:

Download mode also says it's unrooted now?
[G2 General] milkinc:
I tried restore recovery(for my F320s) on lg tool it didn't work as well. It gave me an error "Check with administrator, couldn't find info on phone" thus I just went straight to flash tool and by the way I factory reset my phone before I did the flash tool and did another factory reset after completion as adviced by the chinese forums, not sure if it does anything. And for the rom that I choose it is the same version reflected when using the LG tool(I used the latest F320S10m)
[G2 General] moteb:
You must inter IMEI in lg mobile support tool befor it download the firmware

Yes I can see the download bar increase number %
[G2 General] keithfloyd:
It seems like a lot of people are having problems going back to stock.

I have a locked G2 from Three UK, which is not rooted or anything like that. I just want to get rid of all the Three crap. Will there be issues if I use the open UK firmware?
[G2 General] bjc112:
I go straight to the flash tool also.. what button combo to hard reset are you utilizing?

For some reason the Mobile Support tool is seeing my device as L02E which I cant even find anything about that online. Also reflecting all zeros for imei.

I am redownloading the tmobile version and all 3 korean kdz variants to try to flash..

Am I actually looking at a brick here?

ohhhh man!!
[G2 General] bervin:
can someone please make a mirror for the Asian version? i can't get past 45% on multiple attempts and am already using a downloader as recommended
[G2 General] breezerx:
I tried this method and after flashing the g2 is still stuck at the animated lg logo?

Any ideas?
[G2 General] moteb:
If the LG mobile support tool recognised your phone as L02E then you can't update or install the software

It must be write like D802 or something else..

I tried with L02E but can't get me anywhere..

Until I install the correct drivers from lg website..

Next It recognised my phone model and my IMEI without my help..

After that it success download the property firmware and install it flawlessly..

Hope that helps..
[G2 General] ipmanwck:
My korean version not recognised but I have already received several OTA updates so don't need to plug it in. It is stock though.
[G2 General] bjc112:
Ok thank you!!

The only problem is I can't seem to get phone recognized on my Mac or PC using fast boot or adb. I have installed the 3.10 and 3.8 lg drivers with no success, ontop of my imei showing all zeros..

I am at a loss, getting close to giving up lol...

Thanks for all the tips

---------- Post added at 08:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 AM ----------

I have switched USB cables, switch ports.. Did get it on COM4 - No Dice

I have tried 3.8 LG drivers and newest 3.10 LG drivers.

I have uninstalled and resinstalled drivers.

I have downloaded multiple KDZ files with no luck as they freeeze at 49%

I have powered the computer down, phone down, reinstalled drivers, then reconnect phone with no luck..

Continually showing as L02E..

When in download mode the Number above "Rooted" always changes, what is that number?

When I do get download mode going in route to 47% it always says D802 in the box below ( with the "Rooted" text )

Do I have a shot to fix this or am I actually bricked???

Other than download mode it boots only to fastboot mode ( two lines of white text ) but no devices are detected with fastboot or ADB.

Sighhhh... Giving up for now!

Thanks to everyone for trying to assist.

Edit: L02E	L02E(Optimus Life)_Android_JB_L02E20a

L02E(Optimus Life)_Android_ICS_v10c

Not sure how to get it to identify differently!
[G2 General] Gam3r 4 Life:
Having issues here as well. When I try the tutorial from the first page I get "page error". And when I try to just use the LG Tool and recovery upgrade it just gets stuck at downloading at time of 00:12 and no progress on the download bar.

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

Question. When your are doing the upgrade recovery using the LG Tool, and it says downloading, is it actually downloading even though it shows no progress in the download bar? Because for me it just sits there with the clock stuck at 00:12.
[G2 General] bjc112:
Sticks at 12 no progress.
[G2 General] breezerx:
Hell yeah!

Lg g2 is fully working again.... :D

Used a laptop, installed windows xp on it, used the guide in the first post and all went well but it still didn't boot fully.

Reason I had asked where you got them I could had downloaded it and uploaded it for you. Depending the server most of the time I can upload a lot faster than downloading from some of those free file hosts. That's why I have my own server for files to share. It took me 7 hours to download something from a free file host for a tablet to mirror it and it only took 1min to upload lol
[G2 General] SuperSport:
I understand. MEGA is hit and miss. Sometimes, I can download 6 MB/s and sometimes, it's 200 kb/s. Uploading to MEGA is around 1 MB/s

PS: If this works, please feel free to re-host them. It would be good for you to keep track of the files on your thread.

@hyelton Looking at it again, it appears my DLL file and 10d file are BOTH from your first post. Only thing different is the Flash Tool. I didn't HEX check them, but they appear the same.

[G2 General] :
yep its the same thing. gonna warranty my phone. thanks though.
[G2 General] SuperSport:
It's just easier to use is all. I might even package this all into a simple installer that installs the flash tool, patches it, copies dll and tot to correct directory and then runs it all. We'll see if I get the time.

I'm really sorry. Did you try a Hard Reset after flashing? I'm sure you did, just thought I'd throw it out there.

Is there any other way to unroot? Without going back to stock and getting rid of the ripped flag or we have to flash back stock?

Either way I'm staying rooted but just in case I need to unroot for ota. (Everything else is stock)
[G2 General] hyelton:
Not to offend anyone about AT&T stores but a lot of the times they no NOTHING. lol. Like I had someone come to me a couple of weeks ago asking if I could fix there phone where they dial 1 to call Voicemail as it was not working. (It was an older flip phone) I had to go in and change the voicemail number. Guess what? They had been to TWO different AT&T stores in two different states previously and the stores could not figure out to do the most simple thing
[G2 General] gunnyman:
go into /system/xbin and delete the su binary

remove superuser.apk from /system/app

however you should be able to accept an OTA if you haven't removed any bloat or installed a custom recovery
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yay :D I meant to ask with my current guide is there a better guide you could possibly make along with the newer version of flashtool I could put in the OP ? Maybe something more simple? or if you could get the time the installer thing would be amazing!
[G2 General] abdel12345:
Awesome thanks. I'll try accepting ota (once it comes) with root then. If it sheet work then I guess this'll cone in handy:D

Has anyone seen this type of error before, also happening at the 49% mark, have tried a few hints/howtos regarding the kdz not flashing, disabled LD modem driver in device manager, "upgrade recovery" in LG mobile support tool.

I saw someone mention a similar log file report and someone replying "looks nasty" but the OP didn't post if they got their problem fixed. My phone started going into the fastboot mode after doing a 'routine ROM upgrade' in TWRP. I've probably spent 6 hours trying the kdz file flash after each attempt of a 'fix'. If no one can help, I"m going to try a Linux repair type thing if I can find the appropriate files for the Int. D802. Really at a loss on attempting to fix this, only having the phone for a couple of weeks after buying it second hand is pretty annoying ha ha...
