this method screwed phone

I used this method and now I'm stuck in loop at the tmobile 4glte screen. not finding any fixes.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel178:
(1) Is this still the best/easiest/recommended way to unroot?

(2) Will this method keep all my data (SMS/MMS, call logs, apps, etc.) -- provided I don't have to do a hard reset of course?

Using a US version (VS980) Verizon phone, 4.4.2.

(getting a 0x111708 error which isn't allowing me to OTA)

EDIT:

Also getting "no upgrade items to fix"

Using Windows 7 Ultimate, -- XP compatibility mode, run as administrator.

LG Tool sees my VS980 as: LGV500 (incorrect), Country is US (correct), Software version is VS98024A (correct).

Tried factory reset. LG Tool still says "ROOTED" in download mode and still getting no upgrade items to fix.

Dont know where to go from here.

Lg g2 vs980

I can confirm that this works with the LG G2 vs980 on 4.4.2, I was on software version vs98026A and when I used this, it went to vs98027A. My 32gb storage stayed at 32gb

What I did:

Put the phone in download mode

Connect it to pc

I opened the tool up, changed the settings to Republic of Korea, language to English

Clicked on update recovery, let it download and it just did the rest on its own.

The phone should boot up like a fresh new G2, set up your accounts and stuff, then start fresh. I believe the tool will download any drivers on its own as soon as you open it up and connect your phone while it's in download mode.

I don't believe the software version effects anything, the only thing I noticed was that my signal was very ifffy with 4glte (I'm on metropcs) but im pretty sure thats just an apn issue I have to fix, I still get 4glte, but only when the signal is fairly strong, otherwise it just goes to 3g, and no signal, it bounces between the two. Also my knock on didn't work. Knock on is fixable just look it up if you don't have it afterwards either.

Hope this helps anyone that was sketched out by this process like I was.

I can confirm that this method has worked for me on the GPAD V500. The key combinations for download mode and factory reset are different, but this tool does work.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazaam:
Another solution, if you cannot go on download mode, switch your phone on USB Modem mode

LG software detect it and permit to reinstall firmware

After download start, shut down data connection on your phone or download will use 3G to download firmware

In my case, download stop and after wifi reactivation (on my pc) download restart with wifi

Bricked my D805 what do I do when I Wiped all but data from TWRP

I bricked my LG G2 D805, it happened when I cleaned the partition from stock LP to install CM12.1.

After I did the wipe data I selected all but data, but when the files in the folders Download and user files were missing.

Now I can only get into Download mode, and when I enter Recovery by volume down and power, it enter TWRP and shows some formating and restarts again.

I tried to use LG Flash Tool 2014 it stops at 2% a few times and the process is canceled.

I tried to use FixedDownloadCMode_droidth but it locks on awaiting device on amos every procedure.

I tried to use SRKtool_1.0.8_d802_droidth, but it does not push the files also.

Some SRK tools indicate it is communicating with the device, but I can't get it to work properly..

What should I do from here?

I'm trying to go through this procedure and I have nothing but trouble.

I accidentally wiped EVERYTHING from my phone, and I believe I have no software on it other than TWRP.

I could be wrong, as I have no way of confirming it.

It would be awesome if I could get this to work, but the process fails every single time.

I have installed the drivers.

I have the phone in download mode.

I am running the LG Mobile Support Tool, it's finding the G2 as an "L02E", country settings Denmark (which is correct), and clams the firmware is D80210A, and I choose the upgrade recovery option. The program finds my phone and states that the firmware is up to date. Still, I run the Upgrade Recovery.

It runs through the first of the four screens, analyzing and testing for conflicting software. Then it crashes with the following message:

"LGUserCSTool LGMobile Application stopped working".

Can anyone please help me get around this? Any suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Hey Guys

First time post from a root newbee. After reading online for a couple hours I rooted my D801 Wind mobile G2 using the Chinese method, installed xposed mod for transparent bars(which didn't work using Nova for me). Started to have problems with the stock browser, and then found out some people where saying the Chinese Root method might be sketchy....then I read we might be getting KitKat, so I decided I wanted to go back to stock and unroot.

I installed twrp, thinking that using that program I could do a factory reset, and my phone would be back to stock(newbee). NOPE. After reading some more, looks like there are no stock roms for Wind LG G2 yet. Sucks. So I saw this method, and decided to try it. It stopped after 19 seconds and didn't do anything. So I turned off(reset) the phone using (power + volume down), and started all over again. The second time it worked perfectly.

The phone progress bar stayed at 0% till the LGMlauncher program downloaded the whole file. After that I stepped away from the computer for a sec and I guess I missed the end...but the phone and program was done. :victory:

If you installed the drivers and you tried rebooting the computer but never set a system restore point then try shutting down the computer but turning it off before it shuts down completely.

I've decided I'm going to get a T-Mo LG-G2 this weekend and I currently own an LG-G Pad 8.3.. That I bricked while running a Custom ROM and installing a theme that was corrupt.. This same tool works for the G-Pad 8.3 as well.. just get your unit into download mode and run the program.. It will detect what unit you have and display it in the upper left corner of the box.. it's not going to matter if it's a 800,801,802 etc.. That's its job to "detect" what unit is connected to it.. you don't need to input any information like serial numbers.... The program will go to LG and retrieve the needed files for your device and install them. I have Win 7 32 bit and it worked fine.. it took about 15 mins give or take to complete.. once the program tells you to exit, the key is, you need to do a " factory reset" of your device.. then your device will boot up and look just like it did when you took it out of the box for the first time.. done.
