Cancel the download and try again. On a Gigabit connection I'm getting about 1100 KB/sec...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] GilesMoxom:
After many hours downloading (close too 6) im having difficulty getting it to flash.

It gets to 9% on either refurbish or upgrade "error: Error code = 0x2000, flashing fail"

I have then gone to this Post and have followed the steps there. I am getting an error unpacking it which is simply "cannot open as archive" I have attempted both the manual and the automatic attempt and in both cases I can't get the archive open.

I am wondering if this means my KDZ file downloaded incorrectly (not surprising since it took 6 odd hours to download a 2.7 gig file)

I have started to redownload the file to see if maybe next attempt it will flash quickly.

I am still new at using the search function but couldnt find anything in this post relevant. Has anyone got a potential fix I can try?

Thanks :)

---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 AM ----------

UPDATE: I have renamed the .kdz file and am now getting the same error code but the text now says "Error: Error Code = 0x2000, CEFS:: Intialize()"

I cant download the KDZ again as the mirror only lets you have 3 attempts in a day and I used them all on my first attempt.

Is there another mirror for H990DS KDZ?

Not sure my understanding is accurate (which is based on trying to get up to speed reading various posts, and some replies)...

At any rate, I have a US996 on the way. My understanding is that it CANNOT be restored to stock...at least not to the point that they couldn't tell it had been unlocked. This being due to the fact that the only way to unlock it in the first place is because you have to get an unlock code from LG, and they then know you have done this, and warranty voided.

So I presume that this method may revive a 'soft bricked' phone to stock, with the caveat that it still cannot be warrantied due to the method of bootloader unlock. Is this an accurate assumption?

One other thing...from my readings I am of the impression that in fact you can hard brick the phone and it cannot be revived...and I presume then that having used the LG unlock method, the result is a true brick which you are stuck with.

If all of above is accurate assumptions, it leaves me very wary of rooting.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] wdcspurs:
Update:I was trying this process from my desktop originally and decided to install everything and try on my laptop. Worked like a champ. Not sure if I had a bad download on my pc or if something else was interfering but I got back to stock. I was rooted and bootloader unlocked and was able to revert back to stock 12a with the Nov 1 security patch. All data and apps were saved in the revert process. Very easy process.

I tried this method but utilizing uppercut and I get hung up on 4%. The LG up crashes. That's under the refurb option and the upgrade option as well. Anybody have any clues as to what I'm missing?

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ruthlessnature:
pull battery . replace battery . hold vol down and power until lg logo appears . release power and repress and hold power right away . should bring up a reset prompt. follow the reset and it should get you back into twrp.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] niki.b:
Try (go to adb folder in your computer, right mouse click + shift than choose open command window here) than write:

Fastboot commands

Fastboot erase system

Then place the twrp.img from dirty santa with fasboot stuff and name it twrp.img (all this is on your computer in adb folder in program files (x86))

Fasboot flash recovery twrp.img

Then unplug and pull battery, put battery in and hold volm down and power.. When lg logo shows up let power go for 1 second and re hold it immediately. When prompt shows up yes yes and wait... Should get twrp.

That or re-run step 3 after sending fasboot erase system command and it will push the boot.img over and twrp again (note: for this method use standart non-edited name of twrp.img because it's preloaded in step3.bat, in my case twrp.img was twrp-3.0.2-1-us996.img

Hi! I have a US996, and was stuck on fastboot mode., or a crashing screen.

Tried that. The flashing was successful, the crashing screen is gone, but I still can't leave the firmware update mode. Tried fastboot reboot, fastboot reboot-bootloader, no way. When I try to fastboot reboot, it reboots, gives me a warning of unlocked bootloader, then the LG logo, then firmware update again. Any ideas? Thank you very much!

Lgup not working for v20

I have the same problem. I own an lg v20. actually not rooted yet!. i do have the files needed for root but i wanted to make sure i cant go back to stock first before rooting and "potentially" screw myself over. i downloaded the mentioned files, connected my v20 (tmobile) (software h91810j) model H918 to my pc. it does get listed in the software but if i click select, it gives me the following error.

:LGUP can't load the model[C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\com.

the program closes after that. i tried this both while booted in and in download mode. in fastboot your device is not shown in the program.

How else would i get this working and where can i follow up with developments on the LGUP tool

Hopefully someone can help with this because I want to get the LG G6 and trade in my V20 Help.

So after you fladh a custom rom, twrp wipes your system?

You're not choosing to wipe anything after flashing the rom right? You shouldn't. Its just flash rom, gapps if needed, kernel, root etc then reboot. No wipes.

Twrp shouldn't do that automatically. Which twrp version are you using?

A dirty santa attempt left my V20 vs995 unable to boot. It does give pink triangle and boot into recovery [nicely]. But then what to do? SO I imagine that a restore to stock. But LGup fails, not finding the phone, eventually booting into Recovery [again].

Can I find either a Recovery zip to install or ODIN files? It seems like I could put something on a micro SD or reboot in download mode.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jt1998:
Only thing I know you can do is do use Lg up tool and kdz file of latest firmware to return phone to stock. No recovery zip available or ODIN (only for samsung devices). Make sure you're using latest LG up tool, latest updated LG drivers, and reboot your pc before trying anything. That's helped me before. Also, you may need to try different USB C cables or a different USB port on your pc. Good luck.

find matched NT-code mcc/

matched cust for NTCODE = [FFFFFF,55]

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] rubiicon59:
That's it, yeah. Was worth a try if only for a more up-to-date security patch.

But as you already said, it's a quick and easy task to update with the earlier firmware.
