unable to update! - Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have a uae stock firmware lg p705. recently i connected the phone to lg pc suite and it showed that i had an update(v20b). but when i try to update using lg pc suite or that other lg upgrading software or even kdz....i`m unable to. when the phone starts to update and it changes mode to emergency mode, it gets the yellow emergency screen for about 4 secs then it changes to weird messed up lines. i`ve attached a screenshot of the weird lines screen for reference. please help me i am dying to update my phone from the current v10f which is really laggy and slow.
P.S. i dont know y but it seems there is no OTA update coz its been more than 3 weeks since the latest update and it still hasnt shown up on OTA. PLS HELP ME!

Firstly, the JellyBean update will not be available through OTA , you'll get the notification on your phone but it'll say to connect to a computer to complete the upgrade. For your problem, try putting the phone into emergency mode BEFORE plugging in and use kdz to flash. Use 3GQCT for type and EMERGENCY for PhoneMode. Worth a try. :good: GoodLuck!
EDIT: Also, redownload any kdz file you're flashing, it can be a bad download too!

Issues when trying to manually update to KK (D801)

I Have tried to use the 2 methods that where provided and that worked for pretty much everyone else around me except me
Prior to getting both the PC Suite and Support Tool I got all the drivers , piece of cake.
Now lets start with the PC Suite which is very annoying , I hook up my phone to PC without a issue im connected and all and I want to updrade my software so i thought to myself wow so easy but as it turns out the pc suite claims i already have the latest the D801g but the newest is D801a ... PC SUITE BEING A LIERRR
I made a video of the problem as well which has got a lot of views in 2 days
Next up the Support Tool... oh boi can this get any worse than the PC Suite .. yes it can
Just like PC Suite connecting is not a problem .. so next step was to upgrade recovery which everyone else is doing and got them 4.4.2 but when i do mines it gets stuck on the second step and at either 0:13 or 0:14 seconds .. I let it sit there for a whole hour earlier but nothing would happen... I have also tried putting the phone in download mode but that would not fix the problem.. so yeah.
If anyone could help .. would be such appreciated and i would be very amaze.
I installed the upgrade today via download mode and flash tool....check out the thread about changing back to stock...in the flash tool where u select the old kdz...just select the newer kk kdz

Turn your pc into airplane mode, or anyway turn off any connection you have activated (Wifi ecc...)
Then try again.
I had the same problem, it was trying to reach the server, without internet connection it can't and everything will work
Even there is this pop-up, just wait. It is upgrading your phone in the background, have patience

G2 brick/driver issue

Hey all I'm looking for a little help on an issue that I can't seem to find any exact info on (I have searched quite a bit)
The problem is that I have seemingly soft bricked my G2 whilst trying to restore a 4.4.2 backup coming from a stock custom 5.0.1 Rom.
The phone is stuck in a bootloop and I cannot access recovery mode through any of the button combinations or any other way.
I have installed the latest LG drivers but when I connect the phone (while in boot loop) the pc tries to install "LGE Android MTP Device" but fails to complete.
When in download mode though, the phone is recognised as "LGE AndroidNet USB Modem"
When I try to flash a stock KDZ via Flashtool,every time it gets to 2% and then throws an error message telling me to retry.
If this is an issue with the drivers not installing correctly, is there another way of getting them to install without the phone being switched on and USB Debugging on?
If so I would greatly appreciate a little light shed on the matter.
As I said, I have searched a lot about this and did not find any other cases similar to mine where the USB drivers could not be installed.
Thanks
Darren

Have you tried flashing a .TOT file using the .TOT method instead of .KDZ? What is your phones model?
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/
It's a D802. And no I haven't tried that although I am intrigued as to what it entails. Is it the same procedure as KDZ flashing?

If your having trouble with the drivers then delete them, reboot and install pdanet. If it still fails at 2% then go the tot method.

[Q] Did I brick my phone?

Hello,
I have a LG G2 (D802). I was busy flashing the stock KDZ, when I got an error. The progress on my phone stopped, and nothing happened anymore. I wanted to try again, so I turned my phone off. Now, when I boot my phone, it gives the LG logo, and then nothing. When I connect it to my pc, I get a lot of format pop-ups.
I followed this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
The KDZ I used: Netherlands Open 16GB KitKat D80220D
Furthermore, also while connected to the pc, I only see a folder called "image".
Can someone help me with getting my phone back to stock? It doesn't matter if everything gets wiped, I already backed up everything.
Thanks in advance!
If lots of drives still pop up when you connect your phone to the PC,then follow this guide:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQVTc2m6U-I
I did it,and it fixed my download mode,and I could finally access Download Mode.
If your Download Mode still works,try the TOT method,it worked for me,since the KDZ method would be stuck at 2% every time(in my case).
So,after,or if your download mode works,do try the TOT method.

So you basically cant access the recovery,fastboot nor the Download Mode,right?
Try asking for help on this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
People there really know how to help,they helped me there too
Just dont panic,even if your phone is in a "hard brick" state(doubtfully),there is a fix for it too.
I suggest you do not do anything without consulting with other members.
You just have to be patient.
EDIT
Oh,and go to the Device Manager and tell me what name your G2 has when connected to the PC.

Ugh thank god
those drives SHOULD be popping out
Right click on My Computer and select "Manage"
Then,on the left part of that window,you will see the "Disk Management" option. Click it
Then,you should see a certain Disk which is separated into tons of parts.
This part is crucial!
To me,my PCs Hard Drive was "Disk 0",and my fastboot G2 was "Disk 1"
Please tell me which "Disk _" your g2 is.
You can folow this videowithout my help(I could do it by myself in 3 A.M.,so you can do it too! ),I am basically helping you with the same method.
If you want me to proceed with helping you,do tell.

Download the kdz suitable for your model and flash it with LG Flash Tool.
Follow the "Back to stock" guide which you mentioned in the OP.
There will be a link to the KDZ archive for various models,and make sure that you select the kdz for the 32 GB variant if you have a 32 GB variant. Because it will be dangerous if you flash a 16gb variant kdz on a 32 gb phone.

And if the same thing happens when flashing,fix it again(if it won't access the download mode) and try to flash while using another PC.

Yes,excellent job.
To root,download "Towelroot" to your phone,install it and press the "Make it rain" button,then install SuperSU,then look for "AutoRec" and make sure you get the version for your variant.

Download the BUMPED TWRP from this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705
It is in a flashable zip,so just flash it with the TWRP which was installed by AutoRec.
You must have the bumped version of TWRP!!
After you flashed the BUMP TWRP,reboot recovery.
Here is a bootloader changer,AROMA edition:http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/d802-bootloader-changer-1-1-jb-kk-lp-t3104380

Hey man,
I noticed that Towelroot doesn't work for LG G2 Lollipop. Any idea how to fix this?
Edit: trying it with another root.

Alright it works, thanks! Can you tell me why I need the bumped version? Just curious

It is complicated,just do it. XD
I was asking the same thing like you.I ignored others,rushed with roms,didnt use the BUMPED TWRP and my phone was bricked.
Basically the TWRP you get with AutoRec is just capable of flashing partitions for the bootloader,not the system partition(the rom is in the system partition).
The BUMPED TWRP has a certain type of an exploit,and lets us install those system partitions.
Shortly:You can't install roms without the BUMPED TWRP.

I'm guessing my phone is refurbished?
I bought a D802 from a third-party, with:
- 32GB ROM
- 4.4.2 D80220b firmware
- 2G, 3G, 4G working
- The csmg.lgmobile.com website said that according to my IMEI, my model is the UAE 32GB D802 and gave me the D80230a firmware for manual flash via LG Flash tool.
I used the phone for a while, rooted it and used Xposed. Never got recovery so no backup(wish I'd seen the SRK tool before). Then I downloaded the firmware from the csmg.lgmobile.com website. I flashed it via the Flash tool and everything seemed fine. Then it booted:
- Touchscreen was erratic. Ghost touches, dead spots, phantom touches, whatever.
- The Baseband Version and IMEI in About Phone both say Unknown
- ROM has converted to a 16GB version
- Download mode is fine along with every other feature of the phone
After that I looked around and found a UAE D80220c firmware and flashed that. It flashed fine but all the above issues remained the same.
I browsed around extensively here and found out:
- Refurbished phones have their back cover and firmware changed to imitate D802's.
- My phone is probably some other G2 model with D802 firmware and an altered IMEI
- The actual model of my device is UNDER the motherboard. Which, apparently, I must get hold of so I can flash the appropriate stock kdz. This gets a bit too hardware-y for me.
So, basically, my phone is no more useful than a brick at the moment. Any expert help would be appreciated but here are the main questions that I'd really like answered:
A. Should I try various flashing the kdz files from different models mentioned in the link I gave up ^there until one clicks and then try to do something about the IMEI?
B. Is there any chance that my phone is beyond repair forever?
C. Should I stop messing around with my mediocre knowledge and take it to a repair shop?

phone brick while updating to oreo

Today i tried to update to oreo by LG Bidge. i've waited for 2 hours to download the 2.8G update files, then while updating it stopped saying retry, tried again and it stopped and had to do it all over. Now i'm stuck on fastboot screen and keep downloading this update for hours and getting the same errors whithout knowing the problem.
I 've tried to unlock but the OEM isn't enabled and there is no way to do it from fastboot.
Please help me i don't know what to do
Flash with LGUP and Uppercut.
Search the forum for the KDZ file.
Put phone in Download mode, load the KDZ file and flash.

Thank you. Now I tried it on a third PC and replaced the USB cable with the original one. I don't know what part of that was the solution but it worked. Although I had to rerun the update as it was interrupted on the first procedure.
