I got stock on the lg flash tool, when i open it there comes a window that says id and password, i tried to use it without conection and register, put it still not working, what can i do?
[Sprint LG G2] Cronic2009:
I wanted to let those know ( and maybe add to the OP) if you get the .dll error/check phone with flash tool, rename the original .dll to the reported phones .dll and LG Flash Tool should run past the error and update the phone, tested a handful of times and a few more wouldn't hurt, let us know if this works for you, best of luck all!!

Redo the whole process and make sure you follow directions carefully. I think you may have missed step 4 from the OP

i have a lg g2 ls980 flashed with the tmobile firmware (d801) so when im tryin to flash it back with the sprint firmware i got thet error model is different..what shoul i do guys please help a brother
[Sprint LG G2] Cronic2009:
Hey there bro, you happen to be in luck, I also got the G2 boot looped, flashing the D801. The fix is very easy

use the .dll at the bottom of this page http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/Sprint+LS980/ and your LS980.tot in LGFlashTool, it should upgrade this time, best of luck!

Will this work to downgrade from kit Kat it just drains my battery a lot ever since the update
[Sprint LG G2] Cronic2009:
Its ok man, its just the FlashTool doing what it is supposed to do and these phones are picky sometimes, there are a few other things you can try too before giving up hope, try renaming the LS980.TOT to the same name as your .dll name ( LGUP_8974) , this should keep FlashTool from reporting a "cross d/l" of your phone SW. Best of Luck!

I had exact same problem I had to flash ZVC. tot file after deleting Skyfire Observer and Sprint Extension Manager which are needed for voicemail, first time LG Flashtool worked, I deleted stuff via root again and so again did Flashtool and got same error as you this time.

Then I used the alternate DLL here: (Labeled as use this dll if having trouble lol, just what you need)

It should work after that.

Ok, here is what i did. I went to my machine that I used to root this device initially. It already had a newer version of the lg mobile drivers on it so I was unable to use the included drivers. This apparently did the trick. All of the same steps but this time it was recognized and did the updates.
[Sprint LG G2] renildrah:
I don't have any Ports listed in Device Manager. Is that a problem?
[Sprint LG G2] Cronic2009:
Yes, if you are trying to communicate with your device, plug the phone into the computer while in D/L mode, let it find the phone and assign port, then change port to 41. Make sure to unplug phone before you start flashing with LGFlashTool, then plug back in when tool is ready.
[Sprint LG G2] renildrah:
The computer nor the LG Flash program ever acknowledges the phone when I plug it in while in Download Mode. I can get the phone into recovery mode and run adb devices and it sees it. Sounds like I have a bricked phone.
[Sprint LG G2] Cronic2009:
oh ok, I am surprised you can get into d/l mode and your computer wont detect it as a Android Bridge Device, check your drivers!

what "recovery mode" can you get to?
[Sprint LG G2] jten9:
I have used multiple methods to install drivers (successfully), on two different machines (both running win8/8.1).

When I go to device manager I have no "port (com & LPT)" listed, and therefore no LGE AndroidNet...

So, the flash tool doesn't work since it doesn't see my device.

Any suggestions? I can get into download mode, and can access TWRP recovery. I have tried ADB sideloading roms with no luck. Also doesnt work to ADB push the rom to my device and flash through recovery, still no dice.

:confused:
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
Let me ask you this very important question. Have you used download mode before?

When you put it in download mode, does it show in the middle of the screen in small saying download mode, then after a second or more go to a large screen with it showing a status bar. This showing 0% with information of you being rooted below that?

Thanks a TON for the tutorial. I was stuck in a boot loop for hours, then flashed a ROM that didn't work too well (wouldn't allow me to make phone calls or text, wouldn't allow any streaming media, couldn't hear out of the speaker, etc) and decided to flash back to stock and root KK again. Thanks!

But when I connect my phone in the download mode to check for my LG in the device manager it doesn't show up in the Ports (COM & LPT) tab.

It does apear under modems and "other devices" but I can't change the com port anyone knows how to fix this? I already tried to reïnstall the USB drivers again.

[Sprint LG G2] Red_Kamel:
Lol. I am getting a replacement from Sprint because my touch screen is acting wacky. I'm using my own tutorial to go back to stock and it works :). For those of you having trouble, you have messed up somewhere else along the line. Make sure and back up your EFS and stock rooted ROM so you always have something to fall back on

I think the issue is your phone is not recognized as LS980 which means you flashed a ROM that is not compatible with LS980 Sprint LG G2. I could be wrong but be smart people! :)

Stuck in Download Mode Startup

So I screwed up my device and now i have to try and salvage it. I've followed the process closely, but when I boot into download mode, it just gets stuck at the first screen and won't get past it. The screen is the picture of some device (looks like a modem) with dots connecting to a symbol of a phone. Any help?
[Sprint LG G2] goast:
That still sounds like download mode... This phone doesn't have fast boot to my knowledge... So I'm thinking what you are seeing is a form of download mode.. On my galaxy nexus we had a regular download mode and if u stopped it and started back into it..it would have 3 symbols and was still technically download mode..try finishing the directions..
[Sprint LG G2] beeroatsnp90x:
it doesn't get past initial download screen that has blue dots on it. Therefore pc won't see it. If anyone has solution to get around this it would be great.
[Sprint LG G2] mygeek911:
Same issue here. I've got Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 (both 64-bit) and neither computer recognizes the phone when I put it into download mode. I've installed the drivers on both computers. (Note: the phone immediately goes into download mode when I hold the volume up button and plug it in via the USB port.)

Is there any hope for us 8.1 people?
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
If you have blue dots, and it doesn't go to next screen. It isn't because of drivers, your download mode is broken. If you have a recovery, try flashing a download mode fix or laf partition.
[Sprint LG G2] mygeek911:
That is where I am at. I do have TWRP on there but am not sure how to go about doing this. I'll be doing more research. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. :good:

EDIT: Looks like I need an OTG cable. So it may be a few more days before I get back to normal with the phone.

Can i flash d802 firmware on sprint lg g2?
[Sprint LG G2] goast:

[Sprint LG G2] Fenir8:
First of all, thank you for this tutorial. I ran into a brick after following the instructions to install TWRP here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2522965 (I'm not honestly sure where I ran into a problem, though it's likely because I rebooted after flashing the zv7-aboot but before installing TWRP.. derp :/.. not sure why this would brick but meh).

Anyways, the problem I am having is with step 8 of your tutorial. I do not see a "ports" listing or anything resembling that description, so I can't change the phone to use the correct ports to be recognized. Proceeding past this point just results in the flash tool not seeing the phone (since it is on the wrong port, and yes I am on Windows 7). The only thing at all that I can think of that would be relevant is that I did originally have a newer version of the phone's driver installed (which I used with adb, etc successfully prior to bricking). On seeing that the zip package used an older driver, I uninstalled the newer version and used the included driver on the chance it was necessary for the packaged software to function properly.. what am I missing?
[Sprint LG G2] goast:
Its in device manager under advanced in the second or third tab
[Sprint LG G2] Fenir8:
I believe you might have misunderstood, I meant I cannot find the phone listed as I do not see a "com & lpt" or "ports" listing, not that I can't find the place to change ports in the properties box for the phone. On the other hand, if there is an "advanced mode" for the device manager I am not aware of, I am officially an idiot and do not know how to turn this on. (i know how to show hidden devices, but do not see what I am looking for their either I believe).
[Sprint LG G2] Cronic2009:
hey there mygeek911, you do not need the OTG cable, you need to get your recovery working again, its broken. check this guide out, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 should help you out, just replace the D801 files they use with LS980 ones, best of luck!

To get the ports to show up you have to plug the phone in while in D/L mode to get the computer to recognize it, set ports, then unplug it before you load up the .dll and .tot, plug it back in when the flashtool is ready, a tutorial with pictures here, http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-restore-lg-g2-to-stock-firmware/2/
[Sprint LG G2] Fenir8:
Thank you for the tutorial with pictures. Under step 7, where there is a "LGE Androidnet" etc under ports, I do not see this at all, I have attached an image to make this more clear here: http://snag.gy/eBu31.jpg Regarding the unknown device: I don't think this is the phone, as it stays even when the phone is not connected, but I have included some details of it in the image as well in case this is the missing device (the phone). Reconnecting the phone, in download mode and out, does not appear to solve the issue, I am not sure how to proceed/troubleshoot at this point and would appreciate any help. (p.s. phone is successfully entering download mode (blue dots, word download mode, picture of phone and card, etc etc), computer just doesn't seem to be recognizing it.)

[Sprint LG G2] mygeek911:
Thanks for the help. I followed the instructions using Linux and I couldn't get it to show another HDD on the system (other than /dev/sda1-6 as that is my LinuxMint + Windows partitions).

What I do have, however, is TWRP v2.6.3.3 on there. I've gone into Advanced mode and run the following terminal commands:

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

And tried rebooting the phone to see if I could get Linux to recognize it. Still no go.

So I went back into TWRP and tried one of the latest CM nightly (cm-11-20140628-NIGHTLY-ls980.zip) and tried to install via the OTG cable. (I even tried going through and formatting the data, advanced wiping, etc. before installing.)

This is what I get:

Updating partition details...
Full SELinux support is present.
Installing /usb-otg/cm-11-20140628-NIGHTLY-ls980.zip...
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
Updating partition details...
Successful

After I reboot the system, I get the LG logo on for a few seconds and then it turns off and repeats on/off in a death boot loop.

This thing just doesn't want to play nice.

You have to extract the MegaLock.dll file from the MegaLock.zip folder and replace/overwrite the existing C:\LG\LGFlashTool\MegaLock.dll

you even open the flash tool.
