Thanks for the reply, but it didn't work. It sits on "BIN CRC check..." for several minutes then says it failed to load. The only thing I'm seeing that's out of the ordinary is when I plug my phone in for the first steps, the drivers for download mode don't install correctly. I've let it sit for a while trying to get it to load but it doesn't and when I unplug the phone it says the drivers failed to load and the hardware may not work properly. The regular drivers are loaded because the device is recognized when it's on and plugged in.

The reason I say this is I used Odin to flash stock firmware on my S3 yesterday and when I plugged it in in download mode the drivers installed and it said the device was ready. Any ideas?
[AT&T LG G2] epapsiou:
Could be bad download. CRC, AFAIK, is a checksum { similar to an mda}.

LG Flash Tool

I couldn't find the serial for LG Flash Tool 1.6, please help me in the right direction to get the serial, to revert back to D80010d from D80010q. since i cann't root it.

thanks in advance
[AT&T LG G2] epapsiou:
Serial for older version would work as well
[AT&T LG G2] srk_srinivas:
can I use 1.2 version, which is patched?

in that what action mode should I use? UPDRAGE DL (or) BOARD DL

after that there is Green Right Arrow to proceed?
[AT&T LG G2] epapsiou:
I meant use new version but older serial key. I have not used older version and so can't be sure whether it would work

This phone was the most pain in the ass to flash. Probably because of how each is separate from rooting to recovery to downgrading and flashing a rom, installing drivers and flashtool. Glad I am all done with all of these steps.

Installing recovery. Error I get in command prompt.

I would need more details.

What recovery file are you trying to flash

dump of your terminal to see if you are following the exact steps

My guess is You rare trying to flasg CWM/TWRP 2.6.3.3. If that is the case please first try twrp 2.6.3.2
[AT&T LG G2] PhillyFlyer:
Worked like a GEM - thanks brotha.

*So, if I want to change or upgrade my recovery...what is the next "step" or which version works safely, next if I flash?

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T LG G2] epapsiou:
Just flash any recover you want wiithin the recovery you have(2.6.3.2)

If you want phillz (which is what i use) flash 6.19.3 first and then reboot

then flash 6.19.7.

or flash latest twrp 2.7.0.0 (which i have not used but have heard is good)

I would recommend you read threads before you decide. Both recoveries are excellent
[AT&T LG G2] PhillyFlyer:
Awesome - followed your direction and now have latest Philz. Appreciate your help.

It is just odd that the only ROM that boots after flashing is the CM11 nightlies. I can't flash any Vanir or AOKP, I am just stuck at the LG screen. I guess I will have to see help for this, new to this phone, so I don't know what the issue would be.
[AT&T LG G2] PhillyFlyer:
Anyone have any experience with this, that can pass along some advice?

I posted in the Q&A and it has dropped to the bottom of list, no replies.

CM11 is the only ROM that boots up. I can't get any custom ROMS to boot up. Is it a bootloader issue? It cant be recovery because it flashes just fine and I have same issue on CWM and Philz and TWRP.

Anyway, I reverted to stock 10d - rooted - and have Philz touch latest version...thats my set up. Tried flashing AOKP, Vanir, etc....stuck at LG boot screen.

Sorry for clutter - but I am at a loss here and figured those using recovery may have had experience.

In my case i have an At&t Lg G2 not rooted with 4.4.2 kitkat and wanted to revert to 4.2 so i can root and then flash a rooted stock 4.4.2 kitkat. Is it possible to do that, even if i was never rooted? I do understand there's no root for kitkat as of now.

Thanks guys.:confused:

EDIT: redownloaded everything and triewd several more times with the same result. Im curious as to why it keeps saying the aboot version doesnt match my devices if its for the D800 as well.. :-/

[AT&T LG G2] countryfolk07:
Yes. What the OP states. Revert back to 10d then root, recovery, and then flash one of the custom 4.4.2 ROMs that allow custom recovery.

Alright i'll try to downgrade, even though really wasn't trying to do that.
[AT&T LG G2] epapsiou:
There is a reason I and others wrote massive FAQs and guides. :) things are not as easy as "use freegee and you are done" especially if you want custom recovery.

For custom recovery downgrade to 80100d and follow op.
[AT&T LG G2] Tymau5:
Well, FreeGee didn't work. Tried flashing recovery through Flashify. Didn't work... But when I boot into Recovery, it says some weird stuff at the top left and turns black. The phone still works though; the stock recovery is gone. Anyone else tried other methods?
[AT&T LG G2] N12X93R:
Doesn't work for me. I've followed this guide to the T twice. Each time I flash the stock rom through the flash tool, install root from ioroot25 method, check with Root Checker, all is clear. Then I get to installing the recovery, and I'm not sure what's up, but I don't have loki_flash in the zip so I use loki_tool instead and change my commands to loki_tool. Probably updated and guide hasn't been, but w/e. Regardless, no errors in ADB, reboot recovery. I get an android with a red triangle in his open belly. Everytime.

My commands look like this

abd push loki_tool /data/local/tmp/loki_tool

adb push recovery.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img

adb shell

su

cd /data/local/tmp

chmod 777 loki_tool

./loki_tool recovery /data/local/tmp/recovery.img

exit (I have to exit twice here to get back to adb)

adb reboot recovery

However, this is much progress considering every other method has yielded me with a "SECURE BOOT ERROR" blah blah blah with even stock recovery gone. So, can someone help me? Am I doing something wrong? This is the most annoying phone to get to flash custom roms I've ever had.

As a side note, when I use ./loki_tool recovery /data/local/tmp/recovery.img I get a list of commands to give. One says flash, so I replace recovery with flash and I get the same thing. I don't think anything is actually being flashed.

[AT&T LG G2] cyburke:
thank you for all the detailed information.. used it successfully to gain root for my D800.

was following the directions for flashing recovery (Philz) but was getting stuck along the way.

there is no "loki_flash" inside the /bin directory of that zip file that was suggested to be downloaded. there is a "loki_flash.c" inside the main directory and a "loki_tool" inside the /bin directory.

was getting an error while trying to get it all sorted out - have attached an image for review.

at the end of the day i was able to use Flashify and get Philz recovery.img installed that way.

It looks possible but from what I have read in this thread and pretty much everywhere, recovery (if not root with ioroot) is not possible on D80020c

what it does "I believe" is it downgrades your bootloader thus making custom recovery possible. Also it fixes download mode.

The developer has merged the loki_flash file with the loki_tool file. Therefore, you have to modified the commands above.

adb push loki_tool /data/local/tmp/loki_tool

adb push recovery.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img

adb shell

su

cd /data/local/tmp

chmod 777 loki_tool

I just got lg g2 sprint ls980.It's unlocked and super su is installed on it.It's currently running on 4.2.2.My questions are;

If my mobile will be locked again if I update the software.

Will I lose unlock if I flash any other rom.

Will the sprint logo at the bootup disappear after flashing the rom?

Baseband is currently LS980ZV8 and update for ZVA of 115mb is available,should I go for it?
