I just noticed something else that may fail for me: my device management app freezes sometimes when I try to enter the properties of the phone. Is that a clue?

Edit:

I seriously need your help guys, I tried everything that came to my mind-including trying this on 3 pcs, 2 with WIndows 8.1 and one Windows XP...
[G2 General] Generalen27:
Thank you my good sir it worked for me on my g2 d802 :)
[G2 General] hyelton:
Follow the guide in the OP. It's the same stock or custom
[G2 General] hyelton:
What is the error?? That would tell you what the problem is. If it says wrong model that's because the current software is for a different model than what your wanting to flash, then you'll need to do a hex edit on your tot file.
[G2 General] hyelton:
It would be the same exact method as this one. But it would be tot if a firmware ever comes out. Sadly there's not one yet. So there's no way to flash it back to stock without the firmware file.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Your welcome :)

Yes its been broken for some time now haven't gotten a fix for lookup yet.

I have no clue what's rootable or not on lollipop as I've never rooted since on lollipop. The different versions are just different updates, fixes, etc.

Sorry I have already check it, not what I needed. Thanks
[G2 General] Nechoya:
Thats the whole point, it doesnt return any errors-it just doesnt begin to send the firmware to the phone. When it says "ready" in the update tool, it doesnt run anything, and when I unplug the phone and replug it it just says waiting for connection.

I think the problem is with the phone, cause it returns an error when I change the port to COM41 saying theres another application using this port, I just cant figure out whats the reason.
[G2 General] hyelton:
That wouldn't be the phone that would be your computer. Make sure your changing LGE modem or lg serial port to com41 and not the windows commutation port.
[G2 General] hyelton:
What are you trying to do?
[G2 General] dementon:
hyelton, I just wanted to say thank you. This worked perfectly the first go. You can't go wrong with the very clear instructions in the first post.
[G2 General] Jongla:
Hey hyelton,

At first thank you for your great tutorial,as its the most important thread in the whole G2 forum. ??

I had to sell my old G2,and buy a new one.all your method worked with charm in my old G2,but t found out that it is a refurbished phone with D801 motherboard.I flashed D802 firmware over it. So reading almost all of your posts,I did this.

>Fixed DL mood via SRK tools.

>Tried KDZ but gets stuck at 2%.

>As you said earlier,tried TOT and got cross DL error.

>tried hex editing.

Now whatever hex edit I do,it always shows previousload error.

It would be great if you lead us a way out of this problem as many people stuck in this.

And,thanks again man. ??
[G2 General] Nechoya:
My pc freezes when I try to open LGE Android Net USB Modem properties. I tried on 2 other pcs, and I was able to change port to COM41, with said error(there's an application already using that port). I tried setting USB Serial Port to COM41, it said I cannot since theres already a device using this port(different error than the previous one, presumably because I already had Modem at COM41), and now it's icon has a yellow triangle and in properties it says "cannot turn the device on(code 10)"(I'm translating this from my language, so it's probably a little bit different on english system) and now I've got a communication port(COM1) below, which I am 1000% sure wasn't there when I changed Serial Port's port to COM41.

Tried the flashtool, with Serial Port at COM41 it doesn't even return "waiting for device", just stuck at "READY".

I just tried to OTA update the phone to lollipop(I'm on 4.4 ZVE) but it failed after 1/3 of the progress bar, rebooting the phone and still running on ZVE. I don't know what those Chinese people did to this phone, but it seems they messed something up...
[G2 General] wsonique:
LG ls980 ZVD

My lg ls980 ZVD bricked and i am looking for the stock firmware. Can someone help me with a link to where i can download it ?it isn't on lgkdz.com.

Big thanks.
[G2 General] Nechoya:
You probably need TOT file, it's on the first post.

I'm 100% sure my phone's damaged somehow. I just tried to root it(stock recovery said rooted, stump said rooted, but root checkers said no root) with One Click Root and first the phone wouldn't go into download mode at all(I had to do it manually) and now it's stuck on 90% "Rooting phone..." and nothing's happening. I'm positive the phone's download mode is broken, which makes it impossible to TOT using Flash Tool.

I was trying to achieve recovery and try to force a custom rom then try to TOT back to ZVE again, with no luck :(

EDIT: Despite the program stopping at 90%, it seems I achieved root anyway. Now I installed custom recovery, gonna try install a kitkat rom and see what happens.
[G2 General] hyelton:
The issue your having is computer related When on the ready screen did you unplug and replug to make it start flashing? Your phone is in download mode right? And using a USB 2.0port and a cable that came with the phone?

If so you really need a refresh installed computer as you shouldn't be getting port already in use etc.
[G2 General] hyelton:
In the OP with the firmware links where they all are... And if course you can't get it from lgkdz because that model is TOT method only you use a tot.
[G2 General] Nechoya:
After "READY" it shows no messages in the box below it, after I replug the phone it says "waiting for connection" and nothing changes. Yes, it's in download mode, yes, I'm using 2.0 port and yes, I'm using the original cable. It cannot be a computer related issue, I tested it on my pc running Windows 8.1, my tablet with same sys and old laptop running Windows XP, all pcs have the same problem: device manager sometimes freezes when I try to enter modem's properties...
[G2 General] pokukun:
Hi I am a newbie here. Also a phone noob.

I bought a rooted Lg G2 which has Lg G3 software. The interface is obviously g3. At ffirst I liked it but I noticed the battery drain. I want it to be an Lg G2 again.

So what I read here is probably I have to flash it to stock ROM. The problems are:

- my phone is d802, version is Taiwan. Bought in Malaysia but not as a local set. 32gb.

- i couldnt download taiwan firmware on the link suggested.

- i couls install everything except running LG Mobile Driver. I couldnt run the app on my pc though I installed the Windows app suggested.

I am unconfident to unroot it now.
[G2 General] Nechoya:
I'm not sure if you should go back to stock firmware not knowing your exact phone.

Maybe try flashing a custom rom? You can find them in G2 Android Developement thread.
[G2 General] Gamersab:
But will custom recovery or different radio cause conflicts ?
[G2 General] hyelton:
No because thats the whole point of going back to stock and using the guide :)
[G2 General] hyelton:
The reason I said computer related is that first you said COM41 was in use by something else and then the device manager freezing, Thats computer related. The phone wont make device manager freeze
[G2 General] Nechoya:
Why does it do the same thing on three different pcs with two different systems? Doesnt matter anyway as I'm using a custom rom now and managed to unlock simcard without TOT. Thanks for all your help!
[G2 General] hyelton:
Not sure, but freezing device manager would be on the computer side of things.

But glad you it working for you.
[G2 General] tightanium:
Hi,

hope some of you guys can help me with my BIG problem.

When I start my G2, you only see the LG logo and nothing happens.

When I try to go into download mode it's the same. I only get into download mode when I first connect the phone with the computer.

But when I start LG flashtool and try to flash a kdz-file I have ALWAYS the same problem. The progress always stopp at 2%.

I also tried different kdz-files but always the same.

Any idea what I can do now???
[G2 General] SamsungIsBetterThanApple:
Try the tot method.
[G2 General] Wiplive:
Which method do I have to use if I'm running CloudyG2 2.2 KitKat?
[G2 General] hyelton:
That would be because what you had running on it before. You'd need to do the tot method first.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Whichever depends on your model... If it's certain USA models your tot method only.
[G2 General] xmayhemreturnsx:
Pm me and I can try helping you via team viewer.
[G2 General] tassos petrou:
Hello Hyelton and all,

What actually worked for me is the following:

1. connect with adb

a. adb kill-server​

b. adb devices​

c. adb shell​

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

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

2. format data from TWRP

3. use OTA method

4. use LG flash tool method. Make sure the kdz file is in the same folder with the LG flash tool .exe file and it's name does not contain any blank spaces (used underscore insted)

After that everything was smoooth!

P.S. Could you please provide the V30b-EUR-XX kdz file?

Thank you once again!
[G2 General] tightanium:
When I try to flash with the tot method I get the following error...

Download FAIL!! (0 sec)

PID: NULL

IMEI: NULL

SWOW:

Device Model is different!

Check Phone or DLL!

00000000

Device Model is different!

I think I have the correct tot-file but the wrong dll-file. Does anybody have a link for the correct dll-file (D802 32GB)?
[G2 General] xmayhemreturnsx:
Try using the lgup DLL. It is universal. Look it up in XDA it should be there.
[G2 General] tightanium:
I can't belive it but I found the perfect working solution.

Because of flashing a wrong ROM, my D802 thought it is F320S. So I worked with the following tutorial and it worked perfect!

ttp://android-woorld.blogspot.de/2015/03/mega-tut-how-to-fix-your-bricked-lg-g2.html
[G2 General] dslacks:
Its not working for my d800 i followed the tot method and when it says ready it doesn't do anything after that.
[G2 General] hyelton:
that's the same guide here.. Lol

A user responded to you for the correct DLL to use or use the hex editor method since you where your phone had the wrong thing flashed to it.
[G2 General] hyelton:
That site is not allowed I'd suggest you remove it please. That site is a bandwidth stealer and has ad links. That's what Google is for and or most needed kdz files are in the OP I keep my list on my server updated.
[G2 General] hyelton:
And did you unplug your phone and replug?
[G2 General] tassos petrou:
The link was removed. I am sorry for any inconvenience :)
[G2 General] hyelton:
No problem, but there's a bit of text in my OP about that site. :) That kdz your looking for should be in the OP links.
[G2 General] dslacks:
yes multiple times multiple ways and multiple ports and still not connecting followed instructions exactly:(
[G2 General] hyelton:
Change your com port to com41?
[G2 General] dslacks:
now its saying com41 is in use when i set it wasn't.
[G2 General] hyelton:
It needs to be in use by your current LG com port showing up. Also make sure your using a USB 2.0 port. And restart your computer.
[G2 General] dslacks:
still nothing i've tried everything restarted my pc multiple times
[G2 General] hyelton:
It's something simple that's being missed. And you see lg modem or lg serial port and it's set to com41? Clicking the yellow button and it says ready. Phone is in download mode right? And your using the cable that came with the phone?
[G2 General] dslacks:
yes i watched the video and i don't see waiting for connection when i unplug it just says ready and thanks for the helping i'm trying to get rid of the rom i'm on to many random reboots
[G2 General] hyelton:
It's has to be an issue with the connection somewhere. Cause if it was your phone you'd at least see flashtool fail. What's on the screen of your phone?
[G2 General] dslacks:
it says don't unplug while flashing with the refresh symbol in the middle.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Have you tried rebooting your phone?
[G2 General] tightanium:
Now I have the next problem...

After the tot-method and installing stock 4.2.2 everything was ok. Then I rooted...ok, then installing twrp...ok. But after flashing a custom rom it always boots in twrp. I tried different roms (ASOP, stock, kk, lp,...) but after flashing and rebooting the G2 always starts twrp.

What can I do?
[G2 General] MazdaGTI:
Hello. I have problem. Phone don´t connect with PC over Download mode.

My problem from other topic:
[G2 General] dslacks:
Everything I'm just gonna give and flash another rom
[G2 General] hyelton:
That would be concerning the custom rom you flashed. Once you flash a custom rom your no longer stock. Make sure your wiping, formatting system etc.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Are you sure your putting your phone into download mode??? You can't delete files that help you go back to stock. You didn't state what method. Are you making sure your using a USB 2.0 port and not a 3.0 port? Does lg modem or lg serial show up under commutation ports in device manager? Are you using the cable that came with the phone?
[G2 General] MazdaGTI:
Phone screen show Download Mode. Use wife phone cable (16gb, mine 32gb). Is there difference 2.0 and 3.0? Used method from first post and with 2 laptop. Can move files between PC and phone.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Moving files is completely different than download mode. But as long as your using a phone cable and not some other cable lol.

Yes. Download mode ONLY works with USB 2.0. Using a USB 3.0 port wont work at all with download mode.

Which method? Theres 2 methods in the first post lol. I'm assuming kdz method? Did you make sure LGE Modem or LG Serial shows up under commutation ports in device manager??
[G2 General] MazdaGTI:
Used first method. Can't see my phone at all in download mode. When go back to home, will look what usb will connect.

Sent from my LG-D802 RR 5.5.2
[G2 General] hyelton:
So theres no LG com port under device manager?? Are you running Windows 8? You may need to unhide the port
[G2 General] MazdaGTI:
Use W7 Ultimate

D802 RR 5.5.2 rom
[G2 General] Spudow:
Hi, my download mode seems to be stuck at the "Download Mode" and doesn't go to "Firmware Update" screen anymore, is that alright? Is it still possible to use this fix? I tried TOT method but stuck at Port problem with device manager. Please help can't use my phone for 2 days now :(
[G2 General] szabyka95:
I get this error :
[G2 General] hyelton:
It depends. What port problem? You need to explain more. You need to make sure your changing LGE Modem or LG serial com port to com41 under device manager also make sure your using a USB 2.0 port and not 3.0
[G2 General] hyelton:
That's not an error that's normal. Just move that window over and you'll see that its actually flashing.
[G2 General] Spudow:
Okay bro. First of all, thank you for replying! :D So here's my problem. When i used your first method everything worked, got my phone back to stock 4.2.2, but i flashed the wrong firmware leaving me with only 10GB of internal memory. I found a fix for that and got a fully working stock 32gb phone. I rooted it, flashed custom 5.1 rom. Now this is when everything went wrong, after a few reboots i get stuck in bootloop, i can still access TWRP but everytime I try to restore my backup, it will fail at the end with some "error=255".

Now i read around here to try and use the TOT method of yours but whenever i plug in the usb cable (original cable btw, was using it to do your first method. also tried both front and back usb ports of my pc) and go to download mode, my screen stays at the "download mode" screen (it went all the way to "firmware update" screen when i was using your first method) and my computer doesn't detect any hardware connecting. BTW, my computer recognizes the device when i plug it in while in TWRP recovery mode but listed as other devices.

Right now I have no idea to get my phone working again, even my backup stock rom can't be recovered. :/
[G2 General] hyelton:
Restart your computer? The different methods don't affect the way your computer detects the phone
[G2 General] Spudow:
Tried that already. Anyway i'll try again and reinstall LG drivers. What concerns me the most is why it doesn't go the the "firmware update" screen anymore. My computer used to detect the phone when it gets to that screen. After the bootloop errors, it only stays in "download mode" screen with no reaction from my PC.
[G2 General] hyelton:
That's usually related to your connection to the phone. Download mode is just download mode.

So are you checking to see if lgemodem or lg serial port shows up under device manager? If so are you using windows 8 and made sure you made them unhidden ?
[G2 General] Spudow:
That's where i get stuck in the TOT method, it doesn't show up under device manager. I'm using windows 7 btw and i have hidden devices shown too.

My PC detects it while in TWRP recovery mode though, i can even access my internal storage.

I just want to ask, my phone isn't totally bricked right? Since i can go to TWRP but any rom or backup i flash fails, and my phone still charges when plugged in while turned off.
[G2 General] hyelton:
No. But keep in mind download mode is completely different than any other mode with drivers. And your using a USB 2.0 port correct? You may want to try another PC.
[G2 General] Spudow:
I also tried yesterday applying your first method again. But this time around it won't detect my phone and flashing fails after a few percent. The difference when i made it work in my first try was the screen of my phone. When I succeeded the first time it had "firmware update" screen, now that it can't be detected the screen only shows "download mode".

I must've screwed something up after the first time I had success with your first method because before that i could get to the "firmware update" screen of download mode with no problem.
[G2 General] hyelton:
First off don't worry about which method. The part of download mode has nothing to do with that so no matter the method firstly it needs to be detected by your computer. So your looking under the communication port tab?
[G2 General] Spudow:
Yes, only one port under com port tab. I tried following the post here that manually adds a tab then I plugged in my phone in download mode but still nothing. I'll be trying things again in another PC, just copying the necessary files. I'll post here if it works there.

Could there also be any other possible solution like flashing bootloaders or basebands or anything? Sorry, no experience in technical stuff so i don't know if that has to do with anything. Haha :p
[G2 General] hyelton:
No, that would have nothing to do with putting it back to stock :p yeah try another computer and keep me updated.
[G2 General] Spudow:
I got my download mode to show firmware update again! :D Also, i can see it now under ports in device manager but it is named as "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port". Is anything wrong with that?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Yeah just change it to com41 if your using the TOT method.
[G2 General] hchou96:
Hi Hyelton, I just used this thread's KDZ method to flash stock onto my D802 version LG G2, bought in Asia.

There's one problem though, which is that I'm on jellybean 4.2.2 and would like to get to Kitkat 4.4.2!

Please correct me if this is wrong but it seems the KDZ files under "//Xda/LG G2/Stock/Asia & SEA D802/" on your StorageCow server only allow me to flash jellybean...if that's true, would it be a mistake to use a KDZ file that's meant for another D802 variant (not Asia)??
[G2 General] MazdaGTI:
Sorry, used other brand cable. Will try tomorrow with oem cable. Can someone give me link where I can order D802 oem cable what is really works(in ebay or aliexpress or sime other normal price place). Don´t wanna buy not working cable.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Well it depends are you flashing a jelly bean file or KitKat file? There's jellybean, KitKat, and lollipop files.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Not that others don't work its more of what kind of cable where you using? Samsung? Htc? PS4 charger cable? Things like the ps4 cable might charge your phone but its not gonna work with download mode.

Thx for the kdz files.

I want to ask a few things.

i am using K320S model (korean one)

and i am using the offical kdz you provided called F320S30E_00.kdz,which is 5.0.1 android version, with offical recovery. i am happy that works great and i can have the super user(root) on it. Lately i received a update message from the update center app.

Now i want to ask

1) what is the latest version kdz of the k320s model? is it beyond 30E? And what is the corresponding android version? will it be 5.1.1?

2) if i choose update(manually flashing kdz or through the offical update centre app), can i have root again? As far as i know, some devices with android above 5.0 may not have root yet.

if you know and answer and provide links, it will greatly help

Sorry for bad english.
