Quoting you again for help!!

I did!

I installed cloudey then lightning through twrp. But both times the phone shows an error on startup! I posted the picture..

Error is

fastboot started

udc_start()

You can tell me any options. I can try it out...

And when I flashed d801 BASEBAND it showed baseband as unknown!!

Should i install d801 and find somy way to bypass fastboot?? Help me out bro
[G2 General] hyelton:
I already seen your post, I have no clue. Never dealt with that. Well after flashing an actual D801 made rom did you try flashing the D801 stock firmware??

I might had already said this, cloudy is NOT based on a D801. You want a custom stock D801 rom. Cloudy is usually based on non USA variants.

Not Working

i have a d803 and i have downloaded all the necessary files and when i go through the steps it always gets stuck at 2% in the lg mobile support tool then it fails and asks me to retry. can anyone help me
[G2 General] hyelton:
It would most likely be due to the past rom you where running. You'll need to do the tot method. Then use the kdz method to update.
[G2 General] oktheoriginal:
Thanks very much!!!

I installed kitkat d801 baseband then lightning d801. On startup it got stuck again. Then i went back into download mode and installed d801 tot. WORKED!!! :D :D :D :D :D I love you!!! :P

Few issues:

Running d801 kitkat (t mobile) is unstable(restarts occasionally) (stable on lollipop)

no baseband right now so no sim( can try to fix by flashing d801 baseband)

Problems:

1. So I went and istalled lollipop through kdz. It works great but baseband is not working. How can I flash baseband? As the old recovery willl not work on kitkat...

2. Imei showing null.

3. Phone model shows it as lg d801. Any way to fix this back to d802? (Not a problem. A nuisance! Cuz the cover says d802! :/ I will most prob. sell it off as a d801 :P)

Thank you so much for helping! I will try my best to donate!!! No credit cards/bank account in my name! :(
[G2 General] joko357:
Hi, do you know where i can get kdz file version 20b for Indonesian 16gb model? I have searched your storage cow but only 30b and 10e files are available for Indonesia

For some reason I also cant download the 20b file from csmgdl.lgmobile.com and lg-phone-firmware site...

Question, is it safe to flash 20b file version that isn't for your country?

Thanks :)
[G2 General] hyelton:
Well that's why I mirror lg kdzs on my server due to lg pulling them, also that LG firmware site is not allowed here.

Anyway yes you can flash anything you'd like as long as it matches your model and size.
[G2 General] hyelton:
1. When you flash a kdz or tot it flashes the baseband. Make sure your performing a reset from settings, privacy, factory reset about 5 times to hopefully bring it back.

3. You'd need root to change that and it would be pointless as it would still be a D801.

Your welcome. Glad you finally got something :).

So in asia and sea d802 2 files which of them 32 gb?? coz i install before d80220d , 30a there were 16gb. Thanks for ur help
[G2 General] thedoctor13th:
any help?

well after i succesfully restarted my lg d801 from a hardbrick using SRKTOOLS i was able to enter to download mode, but now i can't flash my kdz file, i installed the drivers, plug my device into dowload mode (here its says that the MTP driver cannot install) and then try a CSE FLASH, it gives me an error that it's says "failed to connect to server" please retry then i click on retry the software upgrade goes into 2% and then the same error again, anyone could have a solution for this problem thanks a lot!
[G2 General] hyelton:
You don't need mtp drivers anyway. The failed to connect to server ignore it. Just move the window don't click retry. It's not an error it's just a message. If you still having problems. You'll need to do the tot method then upgrading using kdz method
[G2 General] thedoctor13th:
hey there buddy thanks for the reply, well the thing it's when the message of failed to connect to server, the software upgrade stops, even if just move the window. what butters me its that so far i have done this process like 10 times without problem, but i had to format my computer where i have all my files and now that i download it again this error occurs, thanks again man regards!
[G2 General] hyelton:
I think it's due to custom rom you might had been running. It's seems to been happening a lot recently. Try out the tot method by using the file that matches your model and size then update via kdz method.
[G2 General] thedoctor13th:
well the thing is that i don't have any rom installed at the moment, i went into a hard brick demi god crash handler: critical error in a white screen, i managed to unbricked with the srktool, then i boot up the phone and show me the lg logo and then went into and open green android with a red triangle, perhaps because i don't have a system preloaded idk thanks!
[G2 General] mohamed gharieb:
Mr hyelton any reply??

Which of the 2 kdz files in the asia and sea d802 folder is 32gb??
[G2 General] mmu7med:
i am from egypt can't find rom for my country
[G2 General] Shujja Haider:
Hyelton... about a month ago we had talked about, will you be able to help me updating my LG G2 to lollipop via team viewer ... ??
[G2 General] hyelton:
If it says there 16gb then they are. If they don't there not.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Did you try following the guide? At the moment I really don't have much time to do so.
[G2 General] Shujja Haider:
Thank you very much for the prompt response. actually flashing the very first ROM seems very critical thing for me as I may not afford getting my device bricked. So i wanted to know if you are available.

If not now, then anytime possible for you ? please let me know.

I will be waiting.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Rom? Or this guide? This guide is for going back to stock or downgrading/upgrading. These are not roms.
[G2 General] Shujja Haider:
oh yes sorry, not ROM,.. going back to stock.. Actually I had mentioned that My device is Verizon LG G2 that i am using in Pakistan.. Running 4.4.2.

wanted to upgrade to Lollipop through the guide and i was seeking your help.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Is there Lollipop firmware out? I haven't checked in a little. I know it's out for the phone but it the file out?
[G2 General] Shujja Haider:
Today i was checkin the news section of GSMARENA.. lollipop in India is out now .. so expecting soon in other regions too..
[G2 General] oktheoriginal:
Any ideas on the imei showing null? Im drawing blanks here... :/

And what recoveries are good for lg g2 lollipop? Is the rooting procedure the same?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Well Verizon is based in the USA only. I was asking as you`d need the file. I`m sure its out, but that does NOT always mean a firmware is.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Did you do a factory reset several times?
[G2 General] Shujja Haider:
okay .. Got it .. actually i am facing very poor signals reception here on the set.. like for the same carrier.. one handset shows 3G signals while my set shows no network at all .. is it totally hardware issue or the firmware has some part in it too ?
[G2 General] oktheoriginal:
Doing that... 2 times done. BTW what does this do?
[G2 General] oktheoriginal:
I did that. No effect. I dont think software is stable. Serious problems!

:/

Update:

phone isnt going into stock recovery ( to install root through ioroot)

phone wont go into download mode (to install lollipop kdz!!!)

phone wont connect to mtp and if it will it wont disconnect properly(in computer when i try to remove safely)

I think maybe this is happening due to old twrp being d802 and software being d801... Dunno

Flash Lollipop stock firmware over another Lollipop stock firmware

Hi all !

I am on v30d stock ROM(Vodafone) with no LTE support.

Is it possible to flash v30b ROM(Europe Open) without data and app loss?

I can try the normal flash but i cannot backup my current ROM without root and restore it if something goes wrong.﻿

Have any of you tried this ?

Thanks
[G2 General] hyelton:
It's always recommended to wipe as it can cause problems. Either after or in the future.

That might require additional fix to fix that if you cannot get into download mode. I dont have the phone or the phone in front of me so I cannot really do much about that.

Flashing wrong models is not good.

Hey, I have a problem trying to find my ROM. When I enter the IMEI I get a "The server refused the connection." error instead of the KDZ file.
[G2 General] hyelton:
You`ll have to use kdz`s from the download links in the OP.
[G2 General] Togglebg:
But I don't want to download the wrong one, I just got my phone back from repairs after Blisspop destroyed it. I tried the software update function but it keeps saying it's using the latest version (when it's only KitKat right now). The IMEI is the surest way to get the right file.
[G2 General] hyelton:
As long as your not flashing a wrong model or wrong size you should be fine. You never said what your model number was?
[G2 General] Togglebg:
It's a 16 gb D802, probably Germany unlocked since the information papers in the box are in German but I don't live and didn't buy it there.
[G2 General] hyelton:
As long as your flashing a correct model and size it really does not matter.

Thanks, I guess I'll go for Germany 16GB D80230d_00.kdz

Which file would that be for my D802 32GB european?

You quoted someone that was doing the guide incorrectly.

You would download a D802 Europe 32GB.

Most people complain more about it not working after they download or doing something incorrectly. Lol. I moved to a new server last week and there's been about 3 people complain about slow speeds while I can test in 3 locations in 3 different country's and get a half a gig download out of it. A lot of people don't seem to have any issue as I've done about 1.5tb on just the G2 stuff in a week haha. But people don't read or have some dodgy ISPs

[G2 General] waringd:
This has worked once for me however now every time I now try it stops at 49% saying page error in the logs.

Anyone got any ideas as to why this happens?
[G2 General] Kickoff:
I am fighting with the 49% issue as well, but only if I want to install different kdz file as my phone originally had.

I can always go back to stock with the LGMobileSupportTool - Options - Upgrade Recovery. The only thing is to have to wait until the stock kdz file is download.

What is the point in trying to flash the original kdz with the flashtool?
[G2 General] lfmmoura:
Here's what worked for me

Gentlemen,

After trying for days to recover my LG G2 that was flashed with the wrong firmware, here's what I found actually worked:

1) Find a machine with Windows XP SP3 32 Bits. Windows 7 64 didn't work for me, period.

2) Attach your phone, go to Control Panel, Device Manager. Make sure there is nothing listed under "Other Devices". If there is, you'll need to reinstall the drivers or have the computer recheck for hardware changes, or try to update the driver manually.

3) Disable the Android Modem driver. Set the COM driver to use Port 41. This, alongside with Win7, was what getting me stuck at a certain percentage. Most of the time, 49%, sometimes 46% (the latter when using the Mobile Tool straight ahead)

4) If you're trying to use the recovery to install a firmware that is different from your phone, or if your phone has the wrong firmware installed, the upgrade will fail because it will recognize a difference between your phone and what you're attempting to install. This is what gets people stuck at 2%.

In this case...

5) Forget using a KDZ. Run the LG Mobile Support Tool straight ahead. It should tell you there's an upgrade available for your phone.

6) If it doesn't, then go to Options and click on Upgrade Recovery

7) You may leave your phone disconnected while it downloads the software. It will, after all, request that you reconnect it once it's done.

8) This is the tricky part: It may take several attempts to work. Mine took about 7 upgrade attempts before working. I did notice, however, that after the first attempt, changed the download information. After each attempt, reboot into download mode.

9) Make sure you unplug and replug your phone before each attempt. You don't need to redownload the whole thing, just leave the program open.

10) It will eventually get you to 100% on the phone. In my case, the computer screen got stuck at 30% in the last attempt, but the phone kept going. If your phone is still going, wait until it reaches 100% and reboots. It never stays more than a couple of minutes on a certain percentage after it's begun, and the arrows keep turning. This is how you know it's working.

11) After you've upgraded, if you're stuck on the boot logo, then reboot the phone in recovery/factory reset mode and do a reset.

12) If you're lucky, this should work, and you should now have your phone up, running and back on stock!

Hope this helps anyone!
[G2 General] waringd:
I wasnt aware of the upgrade recovery way so thank you!

However quick question - Does the support tool show that it is downloading something when you are waiting? Mine has stopped at 13 seconds and is not showing any download progress or anything?

Thanks
[G2 General] hyelton:
That was prob just a BAD upload.... The storage cow links are all owned by me as I own that domain ! And host all my files... There is no virus. Also if you read the OP I specifically asked for NO LG-firmware links to be posted as they are NON SENSE! having to wait to download to see a stupid ad... Please remove thank you.
[G2 General] Radeon89:
Very strange method to say thanks…… :eek:

I thought to do something good but it seems the opposite. I will keep it in mind for the next time.

Cheers
[G2 General] hyelton:
We'll the lg firmware links are down half the time and people don't know how to get it to download due to all the ads. Also if you look at the Op you will see there is a MIRROR link to all the g2 files on storagecow on another server thanks to another member :) but yea il reupload the Italy one. There was a few that didn't transfer properly when I moved servers.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Link has been fixed. As I expected it was a BAD upload, when flashing it shouldnt have even started as that file was extremely corrupt so it should not had even started.
[G2 General] Dizord:
Hi :)

Thanks for this thread and I hope it will work for me. The problem is my lg seems to be badly bricked. I rooted it and installed TWRP via my Mac, everything seemed to go well for me and it wasn't the first time I do those manipulations since I had a HTC One. I decided then to wipe all data to prepare my installation of CM 10.2.

And... Something went wrong I'd say : in the recovery, i selected "advanced wipe" and checked everything. But the wipe "didn't" work, it seemed to be blocked, I let it work for about 10 minutes whereas it never took more than 5s with my One. So I decided to force power down it.

The phone had no OS anymore, and got blocked to the LG logo. I can only boot in recovery and have access to ADB, but when I decide to use sideload or even use the "install" thing, it just doesn't work. I tried to wipe again and I had this message : "E:Unable to mount '/system' ". So I guess, this is the big problem; and I'm totally unable to fix it.

So this thread is kind of my last chance, and I wonder : how to put the phone in download mode since it won't boot except in recovery mode ? Can booting in the recovery mode do the job properly anyway ?

And sorry for my english, I'm not american nor british, so I'm doing my best ! :angel:
[G2 General] kapybarus:
Will this process wipe internal storage?
[G2 General] :
Hi,

Nope, you can't do this in recovery...

Download mod:

If you have an USB OTG cable (and if your TWRP version supports the USB OTG) you can put a rom and flash it from USB support. It works perfectly for me but I use CWM...

:)
[G2 General] Dizord:
No, I can't flash any rom from the recovery, it's not working.

How can I know the phone is in download mode? Should the screen be black or stuck on the LG logo ? Mine is stuck on LG Logo.
