i flashed VS98010B.tot , and how to update vs98012b ? not use recovery . thanks
[Verizon LG G2] sp44:
Anybody have a link to the 12B.tot?
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
If your now stock 10b with stock recovery and haven't altered any system files, simply go to the software update in settings and take the update. It will update you to 11a, then you do the exact same to get to 12b.

Helllo everyone So I have an issue. I installed the 24 that was recently relea. and the I installed the CM11 that it came out shortly after, but now i would like to .tot or kdz back to original firmware but when I put the phone in download mode it doens't install the serial communcation drivers I need to to do the port chages. I installed the VZw drivers from the LG website also to no avail. and I didnt' make up a back up of 24A prior to going to CM11.

ANY help is greatly appreciated.

[Verizon LG G2] jasonsf:
This is not looking good. Since all we have available to us is TWRP, is there anything in there that can get us out of this? Can we wipe recovery from within recovery?
[Verizon LG G2] Walter21026:
um. idk. ive never had to do that, what are the steps?

Edit: I checked the wrong option in the LG flash tool because i wasnt reading stuff right and i didnt tick the "???option" listed in the op. So now everytime i try to open the file it goes right into a country select and username and password. i cant get back into the option screen no matter how many times ive uninstalled and reinstalled the damn program. and when i start it up it says LG USB/Parallel Lock Key not detected!

got tired of the risk ...so i went head and reverted back...the status on mine still initially said "unrooted" right after the flash ....i rebooted the phone and the status went back to "rooted".... I also notice that it feels faster and my antutu scores are reflecting that...im scoring 35k on it now...... when rooted and with custom recovery...I got 31k max ....im very confused right now. lol
[Verizon LG G2] csimo:
I rooted then installed TWRP. Unfortunately I also allowed the OTA. Now in TWRP bootloop. I've tried the 2 minute power button, sit for 2 minutes, then power up and plug in USB but it just ends up back at TWRP.

I used TWRP

I'm on Verizon and I need this phone.

Anyone have any solutions? I'm willing to pay (seriously). If I can't get this pone online in the morning I'll probably lose my job.

I know it was my mistake. Please help.

I used openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-g2vzw.img

I also had a TWRP recovery, and I ran it, but that doesn't do anything but end up back in a TWRP boot loop. I cannot get into upload mode no matter what I do.

Thanks,

[Verizon LG G2] dinotheo:
Successfully unrooted. I am actually going to most likely not load a ROM. I grew tired of the seemingly endless updates I would subject myself to. Of course I said this with my previous phone until I grew tired of waiting for Verizon to push out updates.

I was expecting this unroot to be similar to what a factory reset would be. It was not as it wiped the phone completely. (including gallery pics which I copied off)

Anyways, just curious, how did my wallpaper and wi-fi settings get restored?

Thanks.

[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
So apparently when you flash the 12b aboot partition to be able to install a custom recovery it does break download mode since you still have the 24a download mode partition. To fix it, you will need to flash the laf partition from 12b to your phone as well so the aboot and laf are from the same version.

You can't just take the OTA update with twrp. But this method will also wipe your internal sd, so backup.

What is wrong ?

VS980. Currently on Madhi 4.4.2 ... Windows 8.0

I'm trying to get back ... everything looks great until the last step #4:

4) Now unplug your phone, power off and then go back into download mode again, volUp+USB. It should immediately connect and start flashing.

This is the error:

Model: G2

DLL: VS980

BIN: VS98011A_01.Tot

SWV: VS98012B_00

SWOV: VS98012B_00

Device model is different

Check Phone or Dll !

(by the way, (to start step#4) how do I power off to get right back to download mode again ? It boots back to Madhi when I hold the power)

Thanks.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
[MENTION=3885964]hyperxguy[/MENTION], three things:

Easiest first. Try unplugging then hold volume + and plug in without turning off the phone.

Next (if that didn't work) try using the 10b TOT instead of 11a.

Lastly, if those don't work, flash a stock 11a rom, then try to tot.

VZW LG G2 VS98024A

---------- Post added at 05:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 AM ----------

BTW, to turn off you hold power a long time. Shouldn't boot if you hold it long enough.

[Verizon LG G2] hyperxguy:
Thanks for helping.

Sounds very logical.

I'm trying to load Malladus 2.0 ... I'm trying to determine if my phone was on 11A ... I bought it last Oct. (@VerizonStore) and out of the box it got the 1st (& only) OTA .. I rooted and ROMed it the next day --> was I on 11A ???
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
Shouldn't really matter, the TOT method should work unless you have a mismatch, which you don't. Did the first two suggestions work?

VZW LG G2 VS98024A
[Verizon LG G2] hyperxguy:
I'd tried 10B & 11A TOTs, no go.

So I figured Madhi used a generic "G2" as the model# (he supports multiple variances, so I wouldn't blame him). Changed

the model# to "LG-VS980" ---> problem solved ... back to stock 11A easily and onto 12B.

Your 3rd suggestion (loading another ROM) would produce the same fix, since it will correct the model# anyway.

Thanks.

hey guys just a quick question... im on verizon 12b and i have just installed TWRP recovery.. is there a stock recovery file i can flash to get my stock recovery back if i needed to?
[Verizon LG G2] RyanEJ25:
Thank you so much for this. The KDZ wasnt working for me for some reason but this is so far. I was rooted on 11A Never took the 12B OTA.
[Verizon LG G2] Gobigob:
I messed up. I successfully installed Malladus 2.0 and stupidly tried to restore my Madi 3/12 backup. Now I can't boot into the ROM or TWRP. I've tried this method and the one by hyelton but none have worked.

When I try to use this method I get an error saying device model is different! Check phone or dll!
[Verizon LG G2] hyperxguy:
TWRP should still be there ... you just need to do the key-combo (just look around, sorry I have never tried that) to get to it).

If you get there, just flash the latest Madhi VS980 patch to get the model# corrected. Then start again. It would be easy if you have OTG.

By the way, I assume (to get back to Madhi) we must reload 12B bootstack first ... there is a recovery-flashable (check XDABBEB's thread).
[Verizon LG G2] Gobigob:
I can't get into TWRP through the button combo and my computer doesn't recognize my phone for ADB. Is there a way to boot into or flash recovery without ADB?

Back To Stock

I just want to thank you for this guide. I know you aren't the guy who came up with how to do this but your guide certainly has helped me do this without a hitch. I feel a bit more confident about trying to get TWRP installed now as I almost soft bricked my phone previously... I honestly don't know how I DIDN'T, it just didn't. But, I wound up destroying my recovery sector and was really nervous about trying this. Thanks for making it easy, I feel a little more confident about messing with my phone now. Also, the status is unrooted. Awesome. :good:

So there is no way to get to 24A. Right?
[Verizon LG G2] acejavelin:
Yes, but not directly... This gives you 11A, which once setup and registered on VZW will OTA to 12B, and once that's done will OTA to 24A. Once that completes, do a FDR and enjoy, I just did this a couple days ago, total time about 75-90 minutes after downloading all components in 1st post.

You could also try the VZW/LG Upgrade tool after the initial flash, might work.
[Verizon LG G2] al2fast:
I had the same issue. Now, I'm assuming that you downloaded the LG_VZW_United_Driver file and have it unzipped somewhere. If you download the exe driver installer you can find all of the same files in C:\Windows\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\ LG United Mobile Driver.

So, go to device manager. You will see the 4 different LG devices there without drivers installed for them. Right click each one of them, go to Update Driver, search for the files on your computer and point the driver utility to the LG driver folder discussed in the paragraph above.

You will be good to go then. I had to do this 2 times on my Surface Pro 2 (wiped it once) with 8.1 to get the drivers installed, first to root it, and now to flash it clean because Kit Kat would not install. Kit Kat just finished installing. Time to reconfigure!

Go to downloads and under that is Software Update and Drivers in Pink. Download Windows Driver. When I downloaded it, it was saved simply as LG.
