[G2 General] :
I have the Verizon version of this phone the VS980. It was rooted and on a custom rom and I needed to go back to stock so I could sell it. So I used the tot method which worked fine which brought me back to VS98026A which is android 4.4.2. When I go to system updates it says "software download was unsuccessful, we were unable to download this update" also double tap to wake no longer works but double tap to sleep does. Any idea what's going on and how do I fix it? It should be noted I don't have an active SIM card for it anymore. Also I did see in the OP about how to fix the knock on feature but I'm on a verizon variant and can't get to that hidden menu.
[G2 General] ORStoner:
Hi there,

I'm currently trying to use this method to save my phone from a bootloop. I live in the UK and I bought this phone on eBay about a year and a half ago. It is the model with 32GB capacity and it is unlocked. It still has the manufacturer's sticker on the back, but it only says that it is a d802. Which firmware should I download? I am currently downloading the Europe Open D80232b.kdz, is this the right one? Moreover, where is the dll file I should download? I can not find it.

Thank you in advance.
[G2 General] heliada:
you are amazing

Fed up with Lollipop as I was for the past months, i looked for a way back into the history. I was scared of downgrading because the phone is still under warranty for another year and could not find proper confirmation that this method works... Long story short, I LOVE YOU, it works like miracle. Used the KDZ method, it was done within 5 minutes and my phone is smoother and kitkatish again aaand camera finally seems to focus fast again and properly (on Lollipop it would not focus 2/3 times when it got a little darker). Yeeeey. No problems, knock on and off work as they should, no bootloop either. So for all you who are hesitating: yes, it works. Yes, it's amazing. Yep, it is possible there will not be any problems if you follow the instructions. SO GO FOR IT, death to Lollipop and a huge thank you to the person who made this possible. :good:
[G2 General] hyelton:
Your welcome :) Glad you enjoyed it :D

And welcome to XDA :D
[G2 General] sanketsk:
Hi, i think you should try D802210B.KDZ OR D802210C.KDZ, because higher versions dosent work.

I almost download all the higher versions but bootloops didn't vanished.

Best of luck

Hi, anyone can help me? Can i flash the 32 Gb rom (Italy D80230a_00.kdz

1733916KB) on my F320L Korean model (32 gb, sd card, removable battery) ?

Thanks in advance

Can i install only korean version like this (F320L30D_00.kdz 1210682KB Jul 04 2015 12:25:29 AM) ?

The problem is that the L version always ask for confirmation to call local or Korea whenever you try to dial a phone number. Are there other roms (also custom) more clean or other solution?
[G2 General] hyelton:
So your phone is in download mode? Checked to make sure the correct com port shows up in device manager? Using the USB cable that came with the phone? And using a USB 2. Port
[G2 General] hyelton:
That video didn't show any errors? Those lines is a hardware issue. You'd need to replace the phone to fix that.
[G2 General] hyelton:
You did a CSE flash right?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Usually boot loops are related to flashing wrong models or doing a normal flash. Have you tried doing the tot method?
[G2 General] hyelton:
The software doesn't freeze.. And its not complex. If anything the tot method is easier. It looks like it freezes but it doesn't. It depends on the computer on how long it takes.
[G2 General] hyelton:
You don't have to change or install different drivers between tot or kdz it uses the same.
[G2 General] sanketsk:
Just to share my experience... i was also having bootloops issue. I tried almost all kdz 16gb files all were higher versions like 220B, 230B and didnt work. Even LG support tool OTA recovery didnt work.

Finally the lowest version 210C made my phone alive.

if you have version 32gb_D80210C_00.kdz then it should work

Best of luck

U are have luck your g2 is not d802 open back cover and see what is your modele do not flash d802 rom u will brick download mode

[G2 General] amin44:
Franken phone read some thread on q&a&help sec

---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

try d801 tot with hex editor or try d800 tot
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yes AT&T is D800 and T-Mobile is D801.
[G2 General] hyelton:
The tot files in the OP are fine. If they don't work then something is wrong somewhere else. Are you sure your phone is a D802?
[G2 General] hyelton:
If you have a D801 you need to be flashing D801 kdz files. Try another PC if kdz method is not working for you on that pc. Also you need to make sure your only using USB 2.0 and not 3.0. As well as the cable that came with the phone.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Not that I mean by the cable coming with the phone. But cables that didnt come with a phone to begin with. Theres been a high percentage of people not using a decent cable and getting errors. Like using a PS4 controller cable etc or cheap knock off.

Can I use LG Flash Tool to downgrade from stock Lollipop to stock Kitkat?
[G2 General] SpaceSiliver:
Downgraded my Lollipip D802 (greece) with the german 16gb kitkat V20D version in no time and it worked like a charm! No bootloops at the end, nothing! You rock man! Many thanks!

No more lollipop. Next upgrade only and if marshmellow is released!

Downgrade from 5.0.2 to 4.4.2

Hello, i want to downgrade my LG G2 from 5.0.2 to 4.4.2. Its 32gb. Which file should i download?
[G2 General] hyelton:
One that matches your model.. 20x is KitKat.
[G2 General] snj12341:
Which one exactly?

D80220 or B or D or H or........?

And can i use asian firmware for european model?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Whatever version you want.. And as long as it matches model and size.
[G2 General] snj12341:
which is the latest file b,d or h? i am downloading European open h right now.
[G2 General] hyelton:
The higher the letter the newer the version.
[G2 General] Ariel2015:

I have a d802 UK edition (fcc: ZNFD802) its 32gb, not Tmobile, and i cant seem to find a .kdz for this model. is there any direct link you could provide me with? :)

Cheers
[G2 General] hyelton:
You'll need to use kdz for KitKat.
[G2 General] Ariel2015:
After reading many pages of this thread , I discovered that I could edit the file .tot "hex editor" and thus solve the problem ... thank you very much for your help
[G2 General] kotegergo:
won't start

Hey!

So I do every options step-by-step on the normal version back to stock.

But when it should start the upgrade it just stands on 0%, nothing happens!

Anyone knows what could be the problem? :confused:
[G2 General] hyelton:
Explain more? I'm guessing kdz method? Making sure your in download mode or freshly putting it into download mode?USB 2.0 port? Using the cable that came with the phone? And making sure it shows up under commutation ports in device manager?
[G2 General] kotegergo:
Yes, I'm using KDZ method. I've an LG G2 D802 International modell 16Gigs.

I've freshly put it into download mode.

I've got an USB 3.0

I use a samsung Galaxy S4 cable.

It shown up but now it doesn't. Maybe I should reinstall the drivers and try again?

So, not it's shown up. I tried with the USB 2.0 port but still stay on 0%
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yeah USB 3.0 won't work. It's not supposed too. Maybe try another computer? Or restart it?
[G2 General] zGabi123:
I tried to go back to stock d802 lollipop version(when i saw lollipop version won't work i said to try with kitkat) with kdz method and i'm still getting this error message on both kdz version. Why? windows 10 and laptop asus ROG g771jw

I also tried on a windows 7 laptop with usb 2.0 and still getting this error. Please help me

[IMG="error"]http://i.imgur.com/lN9yIue.png[/IMG]
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yes Lollipop version and Kitkat work perfectly fine.

Are you using the cable that came with the phone?

The server error is normal though.
[G2 General] zGabi123:
Yes, i am using the original cable.

If it's normal, why isn't working? please tell me how to solve this, i need to unroot my phone and go to stock..
[G2 General] snj12341:
hello, i recently downgraded to 4.4.2 from 5.0.2 using the kdz method. can i upgrade back to 5.0.2 using the same method? i dont want to brick my device like i did before with my moto g.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yes you can. Moto G is completely different than the G2 lol.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Your putting your phone into download mode right?
[G2 General] zGabi123:
Yes. Turn off, press volume button+connect to pc. Isn't the right way?

Can anyone confirm if the TOT method works on windows 10?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yes there's no reason why it shouldn't.. You just have to make sure your com ports are not hidden.
[G2 General] zGabi123:
[MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION] then, why it isn't working ?

Trimis de pe al meu LG-D802 folosind Tapatalk
[G2 General] hyelton:
You'd need to explain more than that lol. Using USB 2.0 and not 3.0? Phone in download mode? Changed your com port to com41 in device manager? Using the cable that came with the phone?
[G2 General] zGabi123:
Yes, usb 2.0.

Phone in download mode.

I need to change port to COM41 for kdz method???

Using the cable that came with the phone

In OP you said that is needed to change the port for TOT method, not for kdz

Trimis de pe al meu LG-D802 folosind Tapatalk
[G2 General] hyelton:
Sorry I thought you where the person using the tot method. Are you making sure it shows up under commutation ports in device manager then?
[G2 General] zGabi123:
This is how ports looks like after pressing „Show hidden devices” and connecting phone in download mode to laptop.

[IMG="ports"]http://i.imgur.com/BImk5WZ.png[/IMG]
[G2 General] hyelton:
It's being. Detected. So if everything is correct it would flash. If your still having issues try another computer.
[G2 General] zGabi123:
Won't working !!!

please check the errors downloading this zip http://www.filedropper.com/installationerror
[G2 General] hyelton:
It does work, Its worked for thousands of others. Your link does not work for me it says file not found when trying to download. You'll most likely need to try another computer or try restarting your computer.
[G2 General] zGabi123:
I tried yesterday on a windows 7 laptop but the same error ocured. I will try again on the windows 7 laptop

Check here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4qQfTiGmtoDQU5JNDlhaTh3U0E/view?usp=sharing

i posted a screenshot few posts ago but i want you to see alt the steps that i made
[G2 General] hyelton:
That worked.. But why are you clicking okay on the network error? You DRAG that window over, Clicking Ok causes problems. You move it over and see that its actually flashing. Clicking OK sometimes cancels flashing. Also make sure your freshly putting your phone into download mode each time you try.
[G2 General] zGabi123:
And i only need to wait? don't press anything?
[G2 General] hyelton:
You move the window to the side, you move it over and don't click ok.
[G2 General] zGabi123:
still waiting, nothing happens
[G2 General] hyelton:
I see it says retry on the main window so no its still not flashing. So Your using the cable that came with the phone? rebooted the PC and rebooted the phone?/Rebooted download mode?
[G2 General] zGabi123:
yes yes yes yes :(
[G2 General] hyelton:
Something somewhere is wrong then. When everything is perfect it will flash fine. Have you tried redownloading the kdz using a download manager?
[G2 General] zGabi123:
No,but i have no problems downloading big files in browser, i have a very good internet connection and my laptop is capable.

i really dont know what to do more...

what download manager i need to use? i ll try this method
[G2 General] hyelton:
Just use free download manager. Very strange. or maybe try a different KDZ for your model.
[G2 General] bender_007:
Is your phone even in download mode? White circle with arrows? Not the blue dots..if you see blue dots then you don't have a working download mode

Bro so .tot method is there for lg g2 d802 or not?

If yes then which files should i look out for download for tot method.

And which version is available jb ,kk or Lp.
[G2 General] samadk00:
Hello guys im in a bit of a mess. I bought a used G2 D802 but it didn't have the Band 3 so i figured maybe they managed to flash the D802 rom on on some other variant. I updated the software using LG support tool and now the touch screen isnt working. So i thought ifld flash the stock stock rom for whichever variant it is. I took the plate off and it said D800 so i tried flashing the D800 stock rom but it says cross dl D802 to D800 and stops. Then i flashed the 802 rom using the same TOT method but touch still doesnt work and the phone shuts down randomly. Also there is no IMEI on the phone.

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

The touch screen works but there are random touches.
[G2 General] samadk00:
I have attached a pic of the phone with the back plate off and the error i get while flashing the D800 stock rom using thr TOT method. If there is anyone who can help me its you.
[G2 General] hyelton:
I told you there's not in the post you quoted... There's Jellybean just use the kdz method if you want to flash a newer firmware.
[G2 General] hyelton:
If you just bought it I would return it since you were lied to about the model. Your getting that error because it's running a d802 firmware. You'll need to try using the dll file in the OP that says use if you have any Any issues. Try that first. If not you'll need to use a hex editor on the tot file your needing to flash.
[G2 General] samadk00:
So ill need to edit the D800 TOT file and change it to D802?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yeah. But first try the other dll that's in the OP it does work sometimes.
[G2 General] samadk00:
Done. But it went into a boot loop and wont even boot into download mode. Any suggestions??
[G2 General] samadk00:
This is what i get.
[G2 General] hyelton:
You have to keep trying and timing it right, since you cannot pull the battery it can be difficult to put it into download mode.

Try this? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50454818&postcount=6
[G2 General] samadk00:
Its not going into download mode. What do you mean keep trying? Pls elaborate.
[G2 General] anmino:
why is it the .tot file is in .exe format?
[G2 General] striker59:
I would make sure you have the correct drivers.
[G2 General] samadk00:
Its pretty much a brick now. Have given up f*ck it.
[G2 General] hyelton:
It extracts into a tot when you open it. It's a archive file.
[G2 General] matevzkrajnik:
I got into download mode, started the LG Flash Tool, then didn't change any language preferences and then next window wasn't in English but there were only question marks. Then another window appeared, I didn't know what it said (since, you know, only - ???) and clicked the button. The process stopped. The G2 said 6 % and it was stuck there. I held the power button to get out of download mode and then I saw the LG logo and a black screen. It is still illuminated, but just black. I tried getting into download mode again, no success. I tried factory hard reset with hardware keys. I got there, but again after I clicked Yes for the reset to start, only the LG logo appeared and then a black screen. I tried this multiple times. Now when I connect my phone to my computer a bunch of new drives appear, suggesting me to format the disc. WHAT TO DO?? I'm very angry and sad :( Thanks for your help!
[G2 General] hyelton:
If you changed it to English, you would had seen that that pop up was "server error" You don't click on the button, that cancels flashing you just move that window over and ignore it.
[G2 General] bender_007:
In this case - srk tool

The srk-tool didn't work, tried it twice.
[G2 General] bender_007:
If drives pop out it should work. If nothing just install vmware, boot slax(or other linux) inside it and flash the partitions manually.

There is "fix no recovery, no download mode" thread
[G2 General] matevzkrajnik:
That didn't work either, now, I try to get to twrp, so hold power + volume down, release, power again and i get to the starting page for the recovery (Factory hard reset), press power, and again and then I'm stuck at the Factory reset processing... :(
[G2 General] Spartan17:
So, i got the driver, and i tried the first method and it didn't work. It can't detect the phone (stops at the 18 sec mark).

the second method worked, and i was able to recover my d802. I rooted it using SRK and tried to install AutoRec but it stopped booting. I got no booting animation (only the green led) and that's it. Recovery still worked.

Tried flashing a zip file of Cloudy 3.3 but TWRP could not mount my OTG Flash Drive. Tried to ADB Sideload the zip, the phone wasn't detected.

tried the second method again but this time it just skips the partitions and reboots the phone, to no avail... and i think it messed up TWRP. ideas?
[G2 General] hyelton:
What do you mean by it didn't work? Are you sure the phone was in download mode? Using a USB 2.0 port not 3.0. And using the cable that came with the phone??
[G2 General] Spartan17:
I mean that the Flash tool did not detect my phone. After 18 seconds, it stopped working with the message saying that it could not detect my phone.

I used the cable from my G Flex, they are the same high quality kind of cable, the connectors are good and yes, both my computers (Surface Pro and Qosmio F60) don't have USB 3.0.
[G2 General] hyelton:
The surface pro has USB 3.0. (I thought). But using USB 3.0 port won't work and will cause this issue. Did you make sure lge modem or serial com port showed up in device manager when phone is in download mode?
[G2 General] Spartan17:
Nah :) That's the Surface Pro 3 - 4. The 1st gen has a good old USB 2.0

On both computers, the device shows up on dev manager. And the first method does the same error on both computers as well. The second method worked, and the first time i flashed the .tot file, i changed that dev to Port 41, as per your tutorial, on the Surface running Win10 64bit, and it worked fine! Then, when flashing again, both computers failed, with the same error: Skipping partitions and rebooting the phone. On the surface it rebooted to recovery, on the Toshiba it rebooted to the LG Logo.

Forgive my Noobness :)
[G2 General] Biggie_still:
Hello friends,just got the G2 it is rooted and running android 4.4.2 there is no software update on the phone where I can check for new firmware,so I decided to visit LG firmware site and put in my imei number when the result came back it shows me MODEL-LS980 but my phone is D802 it has fm radio..other details about the phone is

-Android Version-4.4.2

-Baseband Version-M8974A-AAAANAZM-2.0.20046

-Kernel Version-3.4.0

Build Number-KOT49I

-Software version-D80220b-HKG-XX

pls I need to get the lollipop version for this phone also the fm radio is not speaking out even on earpiece or loudspeaker..but everything else is working fine.Help me pls.

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

Sorry I forgot its 32g and I mean is should I download the firmware that is like this D80230b or D80230a thanks.
[G2 General] hyelton:
You don't have a D802... Just because the FM app is there because it's running a D802 firmware if it's not working there's a clear reason it's not a D802. Flashing a D802 firmware will result in boot loop. You'll need to take the back off the phone to see the actual real model number.

But if I was you I'd return it since you expected a D802 and its most Likely not a D802.
[G2 General] Spartan17:
A little update: Now the phone is completely unresponsive. No LED, power button does nothing, connecting it to the charger does nothing too. I'm giving up for today. This s*** hard-bricked my phone, thanks a lot.
[G2 General] hyelton:
This guide didn't hard brick your phone.

The only way this guide can mess up a phone , is if you flash a wrong firmware wrong model etc.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Sorry for the late response. What was your reason to need to flash back to stock in the first place?
[G2 General] Biggie_still:
Well I did as you said I open the back cover this is what I saw..

-Close to where charging point is I saw D805/6/2T

-The two metals the cross the battery one of them has this on top of it LGLS980_F_Touch

-The phone cover has this LG-D02IFCCIDZNFD02

- In the build.prop the line that mansions user I saw 'cloudyfa' instead of lge...is this a custom Rom or what and how can I know the original firmware for this device
[G2 General] hyelton:
Well it does show that your phone is actually a LS980. Also if you see cloudyfa in the build prop that would explain why it won't update. It's running a custom rom. You'd need to flash a LS980 firmware. Which won't be recommended since Sprint messes with the software to disallow use on a GSM network. If suggest returning it if you can as that's not a D802.
[G2 General] Biggie_still:
I'm in Nigeria and is been sent to me from USA isn't there anyway I could just flash Sprint firmware and make it work...just that I don't know where to find the apn of Sprint g2
[G2 General] hyelton:
You can try. It's just sprint firmware likes to block things. It would be the apn of your carrier you'd use. It wouldn't matter the phone.
[G2 General] Spartan17:
Well, truth is, i used the same TOT file from your guide, 16GB D802. It worked fine the first time! Why would Flash Tool skip partitions? I don't know. Sorry about my outburst, you're not to blame, it's just that this phone is still a bit expensive and it's my "daily driver"... and both my old lumia 520 and my iPhone 4 suck. Plus the Lumia doesn't boot.

I was on BlissPop 5.1 , but the lack of camera quality on low-light + no quickwindow + no stable quickremote wasn't satisfactory. So i wanted to return to stock for a while, maybe to evaluate other options or Cloudy 3.3... There's a new guy developing a Stock rom with AOSP UI that i would really like to try.

I really. really could use a help here. Heck, i'll even donate. :crying:
[G2 General] Biggie_still:
So I visited storagecow.eu and I don't know the exact lollipop firmware for Sprint...how do I know the exact lollipop firmware.
