Help!

Help! I have a AT&T Black LG G2 D800 and I'm trying to restore stock. However on the storagecow links all the files are .tot, whereas the LG Flash Tool program requires a .kdz. I am an extreme newbie to android, but I don't understand. Is there no way to restore the D800?
[G2 General] hyelton:
If you read the OP you will understand how too. Also in the OP there are 2 sperate guides for the att/international variants.
[G2 General] tnosz:
The problem I had with flashing back to stock and.model was different, was resolved by wiping cache,dalvik,and wiping data minus the (internal) just in case something went wrong.

Thank you for your help :)

Guys is there a link for F320S 4.4.2 kdz rom?

Bootlooping. Just happened very randomly today. I turned my phone off for an exam, then turned it back on after.. initially had no signal and a black background. Settings for factory reset wouldn't work. My phone is rooted and has TWRP. I went into recovery and formatted.

Bootloop.

Bootloop.

Bootloop x 20.

I just keep bootlooping.

Got home, downloaded all files and tried to go through download mode to unbrick it, but for some reason my computer isn't picking it up. I have all the drivers, and before this incident, it was recognized.

I do have access to download mode and recovery mode.

I've attempted to go the USB OTG route and just flash, but USB OTG isn't being picked up on my TWRP 2.6.3.3.

Any ideas?- Thanks.
[G2 General] SuperSport:
If you have access to TWRP, try this (It's not my idea, I Copy/Pasted:

If you DONT have ADB access (because of an early build of TWRP), you can simply use TWRP's awesome "terminal command" option to run the following:

Code:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

You'll have to type that whole thing out, and be VERY careful with spaces and punctuation. One wrong letter and you could nuke your phone.

After that finishes, you can reboot and continue on your happy way!

EDIT: I'm wondering if you received an Over The Air update that started the boot loop.

Restore Worked but Getting Download Fail error code 6

Hi.

I was rooted, unlocked, had TWPR, SU Pro, Flashify, GooManager, installed.

I used this video to reset the phone to factory defaults by RootJunkie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqw_LFuyHbE

Using this method to restore the phone to the AT&T D800 Software Version 10d, I have gotten an error twice. On the PC in the LGFlashTool window, in the first small window where it shows the update of the flash, I keep on getting an error after the phone boots once the software is loaded. I get a DOWNLOAD FAIL!! (310sec) and in the box it shows

Factory Reset Flag = 6.

Factory Reset Flag Check Fail!!!

[time stamp] Factory Reset Flag Check Fail!!!

This error has happened twice.

However, the phone is working and it is no longer rooted and has been restored to factory default with the 10d software.

If I disconnect the phone from the computer and leave the LGFlashTool open, when I reconnect to the computer, the LGFlashTool will automatically start another restore. I do not want to close the LGFlashTool window unless I am sure that it will not affect the phone.

Any advice.
[G2 General] SuperSport:
So, it finished flashing, and sent a reboot request at about 80% and that never finished? You are OK to close the flash tool. That happens occasionally. As long as your phone booted back into Stock Android, you are good to go.
[G2 General] asdfvtn:
Thanks for the quick reply. Do you mean type this terminal command while connected to the computer during a certain step? Or just unplugged andwhat not? (I assume unplugged but... since you said I could nuke my phone I figure I should ask lol.)
[G2 General] SuperSport:
If you had not nuked your OS yet, you type this in the Terminal inside TWRP. No need to be connected to PC. Type the command and press GO. It takes a couple seconds. Go back to TWRP home and reboot into System. Be sure you type the characters and spaces exactly.

If you already nuked the OS, just flash as you were.

FYI: Are you on Verizon?
[G2 General] asdfvtn:
How would I determine if I nuked my OS already?

- I typed in the command and rebooting. Still at LG loading screen but I'll let it sit for a while.

I'm on D803, Bell. Unlocked working with Rogers.

Been a couple minutes now.. Still boot screen. :(
[G2 General] NevetsDrassel:
It finished flashing the phone. The phone rebooted into the Stock Android 10d but on the LGFlashTool window on the PC is shows a Download Fail so it actually fails at 99.999% as it is the very last step in the flash process where you either get the Passed or Download Fail.

I want to now flash to D80010o then root (either Kingo or ioroot22), get the q update,check root, then KitKat.

Just wanted to be sure that it was OK to end the session.
[G2 General] SuperSport:
If it does not go back into OS, maybe try a Hard Reset, if that does not work, try flashing again.

---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

You are good to go. It starts rebooting phone around 80%, but yes, it fails at around 99%. You are good.

PS: When you flash D80010o, that's going to erase the last flash you just did. Each flash using LGFlashTool wipes the phone. Next time, you can just flash D80010o, Root with ioroot22, then have att push Q and 20c should follow.
[G2 General] asdfvtn:
Bah- Unfortunately already tried that with no progress. I did it again, but still got nothing. Hopefully I can get it to be read by the computer..

Thanks once again for your help!
[G2 General] SuperSport:
Are you located in US or Canada? If you are having real issues, I'll call you and walk you through it (assuming you have another phone line handy). PM me if you need that. Or, skype would work.
[G2 General] NevetsDrassel:
Thanks. I had read the entire 56 pages of the KK thread and was pretty sure that I could have went directly to D80010o. But as an exercise, I wanted to see if I could restore the phone to exactly how I got it in Sep and that was with the 10d OS.
[G2 General] SuperSport:
Good exercise, and congrats! I've flashed my phone about 20 times past couple days, trying different things to get update q to work without calling ATT.
[G2 General] asdfvtn:
I'm located in Canada, in the MST time. Skype would work great too, I'll PM you with my name and whatnot. I'm currently at school right now and have to work until 8PM tonight, so if you're free anytime after that, that would be an amazing help! I'm feeling quite helpless as of now since I never ran into this problem before. Been in other tricky situations, but generally figured them out eventually lol.
[G2 General] SuperSport:
No problem. I'll PM you my email. Sometimes I don't watch the thread that carefully, so I could miss it.
[G2 General] orbitman000:
myself and others had the same issue (no signal and bootloops) with sprint G2s, it was mentioned some pages back. I've been tracking this thread since last week to see if there was a fix, installing .tot doesn't help. let us know what you find?
[G2 General] SuperSport:
IF we can get it running, I'll report back for sure.
[G2 General] lexknight:
I tried a bunch of stuff on my Sprint G2 after getting the bootloops...

I got it rooted again, but then couldn't get Flashie installed to be able to flash the TWRP recovery...

I have tried different things like pushing in ADB etc... but got tired...

I think that if I can get TWRP installed that I can then at that point back out what Spark does to the radio...

Also been following this thread, but ended up going out and just buying the new LG G Flex... So using that now...

When there is a fix or I can get the LG G2 working, will just sell it...

I flashed a wrong kernel version and ended up stuck in fastboot. I flashed the "right" boot.img via fastboot and I am trying to restore to stock because me phone wont boot at all. Am I f***ed?

It wont even boot into fastboot anymore. It just gives me the LG boot screen with "secure booting error" and "Cause: boot sertification verify". Seems like there isnt any boot.img at all. I can only boot into download mode.

Any help would be appreciated. But I guees im out of luck this time :(
[G2 General] gusto21:
Why is it a zip and not kdz file? Help?

I dont see a kdz file on my pc for the lg tool program?...it a zipkdz file?
[G2 General] asdfvtn:
So, I finally got the kdz flashed to 100%, but then I'm left with it booting to the LG welcome screen (choose language, accessibility) with no signal. It then proceeds to randomly reboot.

What....

I no longer have TWRP.

I have already done

Factory reset (this wipe your data and sdcard):

1. Turn the phone off.

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

3. When the LG logo pops up let go for a second and press the combo again.

4. You'll be prompted to press the Power button 3 times to wipe the device.
[G2 General] ars0n:
Pardon my newbness - I am currently on VS98012B can I use the above tutorial to downgrade to 11A. Can I do that?

Second question, instead of downgrading, should i juse use freegee to "loki update" my twrp 2.6.3.4 from wootever? so i can get OTG back?

And or can i just use freegee to update all my zips that were on the old loki?
[G2 General] thestrangebrew:
Any known issues flashing back to stock on windows 8.1? I'm thinking about reverting but scared to go through the process, especially with 8.1.
[G2 General] Fauert:
No issues with Win 8.1 , i use it all tim, for many KDZ-flashes ... :good:
[G2 General] thestrangebrew:
Awesome I'll give it a shot tomorrow night! Thanks!!!
[G2 General] SNaReX:
I have had problems with flashing KDZ via Flashtool to my LG G2 D802. I spent 1,2 days in order to find solution.

These are my finding.

1. In order to bypass %49 problem, install STOCK LG G2 ( It can be rooted no problem ) not FLEX. I had cloudyflex and I installed stock.

2. Also full-wipe ( Everything including system ).

3. Uninstall modem driver from Device manager.

These solved my problem with %49 freeze and other things.

I hope someone will find it useful.
[G2 General] pm.mohanani@gmail.com:
does this combination works for LG G2 Sprint... my device is bricked...

can you help...

can enter the dead device only via Adb sideload command (Recovery Mode...)
[G2 General] hyelton:
If you read the OP you will see that this will work for sprint as there are files for sprint lol. You enter download mode to flash these. Its all in the OP
[G2 General] pm.mohanani@gmail.com:
i tried that but it didnt worked...

:(

Says the following error... check attachment...

Please help.

to solve the issue...
[G2 General] hyelton:
Did you try the megalock DLL file ? That error means you have flashed a ROM meant for another model on your phone. Go back through a few pages on this thread you may find some good info on how to fix it.
[G2 General] trifos:
what firmware you can go through the officials http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=36

I have the HKG D80210D 32gd Which of these is for my own
[G2 General] asdfvtn:
Would anybody happen to know what to try and do next for my phone that boots up, has no signal, and then stays on for about a minute before booting again?

I'm on a Bell D803. I have access to download mode, but no longer a custom recovery.

I previously had TWRP and rooted, but got stuck in a bootloop. I have flashed the stock D803 kdz file through the LG mobile tool, factory resetted the phone through the power off, pow+voldown, pow+voldown, + pow pow pow. Did that with two stock D803 kdz files from different links, just in case it was a broken link.

Thank you.
[G2 General] Arkangel786:
Hi, i have a stock unroooted 32gb D802 running 10F netherlands firmware. If i go into settings/mobile data and start to scroll through there my phone starts to freeze and the screen becomes unresponsive. The only way to get round this is to press the power button. I've done a full wipe/factory reset and reloaded the 10F firmware again but it still happens - but only when i go into that menu. Can anyone help/shed some light on this?
[G2 General] swells14:
Same Error here

I get the same error fail message Device Model is Different when using the Flash Tool- Is there anyway around it- The Model # comes up as D803 and the software is for the Sprint version as the actual phone is a Sprint LS980.

When connected to the LG Mobile Kit it displays the Sprint Model# LS980 but the software is for the D803 upgrade recovery does not work either I tried that also after reading throught this post. Any other suggestions I can get into Download Mode also have done a reset holding the Volume Down and Power button twice.
[G2 General] mxvris:
I just used this process with the new 4.4.2 KDZ file for the D-801 I was previously on an AOSP build with a custom recovery. Everything went smooth!
[G2 General] expertzero1:
I was on paranoid,

To fix this, you can skip #1, just Full wipe everything in recovery, system like it says, then boot into download,

worked for me!
[G2 General] thestrangebrew:
I was able to flash back to stock, however, in the lg tools, at the very end it said it failed, but on my phone it rebooted and everything seems fine. Should I be worried? Phone works and everything so far. The error said factory reset flag checked or something like that.
[G2 General] revan17:
I'm so terrified of flashing this. A lot of people get failed flashes, stuck at 49% or something else. I've never flashed an LG FW. Things were so much simpler with Sony's phones. :P

I've installed the drivers. I'm on CloudyStock currently with Philz CWM. I'm gonna do a factory reset with CWM, shutdown, hold volume up and plug that cable in than start praying. :D
[G2 General] Kalash:
Swells, yeah - for you, I think there is...

I have a harder problem. My phone reports it's a "G2" and the model it's looking for is the LS980.

If you're reporting a model LS980, then you need the Sprint files from here:

http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/Sprint+LS980/

(Thank Hyelton)

With the TOT and DLL in that Zip, you should get at least as far as I am.

Anyone else - is there a way to make the DLL and TOT file indicate a "G2" instead of the actual device model... or change the devices model report to match what it actually is?
[G2 General] revan17:
I just did this procedure to update to KitKat. Everything went fine. But I was under the impression flashing deletes all of my data, but after everything finished; all my pics, music, etc. is still there. Only thing is; in download mode it says rooted.
[G2 General] ZoZo-:
This needs to be investigated! :eek:
[G2 General] shriom_manerker:
its normal as he didnt factory reset the phone :) , if he had, his device would be wiped
[G2 General] revan17:
Yeah, I didn't do that. But there was no need. The flash was successful and the phone booted into a clean KitKat ROM. The only downside is download mode still saying rooted. But I don't care about that since the phone is not going into the service center and I'm gonna root it again as soon as root becomes available.
[G2 General] hyelton:
I'm confused of what your actually wanting. The phone is an G2. But it will report the model as there are a ton of different varrients.
[G2 General] revan17:
As for you mister...thank you for an immensely useful thread. I salute you.
[G2 General] the_gunners:
change log for ATT version (it's should be applied for international version too ?)

Improved user interface with Android 4.4 KitKat: The latest version of Android includes enhancements such as restyled status and navigation bars, a new full-screen mode, improved closed captioning support, and stronger security.

dingerim cannot

Here is my issues I've download the files for the Sprint LS980 the phone is actually a Sprint Variant. However, the software on the phone is showing as a D803. The phone can turn on but continually turns off and on. I am simply trying to go back to the oringial Sprint Stock ROM. When using the Flashing tool I get the error message device is different. It shows device Model D803 DLL LS 980 BIN LS980V7_01.TOT error states at the bottom Check phone or DLL. I can get into download mode I've also tried the upgrade recovery method from the LG Mobile Support Tool which recognizes the phone as a LS980 on the left but the software shows D803 on the right of the screen. Nothing ever downloads using this method. Any other options or help is appreciated !!!

Sprint LG G2 LS980 stuck on TWRP after OTA (FIXED)

This worked flawlessly on my Sprint LS 980 stuck on Recovery after updating OTA...... THANK YOU, THANK YOU< THANK YOU... You sir are a true Gentleman and a scholar... :laugh: Hats off to you.... :D:D:D
[G2 General] Kalash:
I don't think I knew what I wanted either...

See the image I attached. The phone was reporting the model as G2.

Weird - yes.

I think what I wanted was a way to trick the Flashtools into using the LS980 tot and dll but have them be looking for a phone model "G2"

Anyway, I fixed it...

Redownloaded the rom,

fastboot flash system OpTimuS_DE_V2.2.zip

That worked... the phone was still stuck in fastboot mode, but when running the flashtools, it properly identified as an LS980 and ran the update (back to ZV7).

I don't know what messed it up in the first place - since the software in the posted image shows the OpTimuS rom...

But it's fixed.

Hopefully that will work for Swells too - to get the phone to report the proper Model/variant again.

~K

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------

And.... THAT may be the answer.

I was on Mahdi prior to OpTimuS.

I couldn't do nandroid or access recovery.

Fastboot flash system *STOCK OR OTHER ROM.ZIP*

should get your device model back to normal.

Any suggestions? (as per some other posts, I've also tried Emergency mode and CDMA type).

Thanks

Note: I did the stock german KK upgrade (with root) just fine then tried to cross flash the modem from the oz 4.2 to see if I could get LTE back but now I just boot into Fastboot Mode.

Added D802 KitKat Firmwares.
[G2 General] sweets55:
I flashed the stock rooted KitKat Rom and now I'm thinking I need to flash the Official one because I'm selling my G2 and I want it to get future updates. Also I'll have to do a factory reset before I sell which I think only works on the Official KitKat. If I'm already on the KitKat rooted Rom can I still use the LG Tool to flash the Official KitKat or do I have to go back to JB?

thanks

[G2 General] hitmancho:
I'm running the D80210b-HKG-XX 32 GB version of the phone. The thing is - I'm from Bulgaria and I'd rather have a European version of KitKat but not by some carrier like Vodafone Germany. Does such a firmware exist at this point? There's no Hong Kong version of it at any rate...
[G2 General] swells14:
That maybe hard for me to do- Mines is the Sprint LS980 with the D803 software on it- I've been trying the various methods on here trying to get it back to the Sprint Stock ROM with no luck. Once they turn the phone on it will show the D803 software so they will mostly likely charge me fot it-

Has anyone on here found a solution for the Device Model is different when using the Flashing tool?????

Yes.. its been brought up several times here, In recovery wipe system then flash :)
