Download and Install LG United Mobile Driver
Download and Install LG Mobile Support Tool​
Boot your phone into download mode:
Put your G2 into download mode by switching it off, hold the Volume up button and insert the usb cable into the phone; wait for the drivers to finish loading if doing it for the first time.​
Start the LG Mobile Support Tool and click on Options -> Upgrade Recovery

It should now download the firmware (about 2gb) and flash it - this may take some time.
This is needed if you stuck in a bootloop after the flash is done:
Factory reset (this wipe your data and sdcard):
1. Turn the phone off.
2. Press and hold the Power and Volume down button.
3. When the LG logo pops up let go for a second and press the combo again.
4. You'll be prompted to press the Power button 3 times to wipe the device.​

I would hate to have to use this, but wow what a good find. Thanks for contributing.

I used this method last night and it didnt mess with the storage at all. They don't even have a 16gb G2 so who knows. Also are you sure you are not mistaken cause this method doesnt wipe data.

I know it does'nt wipe data, but it reflashes recovery, and in my case something went wrong. But Lg DO sell D802 as a 16 gb model!

Can anyone using this method please post results. Just wondering if there is more success with this method as opposed to the other method. Thanks.

Saved my bacon today!

I don't understand how could this be, you downloaded the specific firmware for your device (using your serial number)...
Can't you just try to flash it again ?

I have reflashed it 5 times The problem was that it asked for some kind of password the first time (not the pin). So I did a factory reset. Now even TWRP says that my storage is 10.66 gb :/

Which password exactly ? when ? in the process of flashing ? the OP mentions no stage in which you need to give password...
What are you going to do now ? your device is not rooted, so you can replace it under warranty, no ?

It did not say what the password was for, just asked for it. It came up after the phone had booted, but before i could see the lockscreen. I will wait a couple of weeks, to check if someone else gets the same problem, or if it is fixable. Otherwise i will hand it in on the warranty since there are not traces of root.

Why should a password appear at that stage ???
If you went through all of the flash process successfully, booted successfully and only then did a factory reset (when you saw that password), I see no reason to blame the factory reset that you did. This is something to do with the flash process. Maybe this is kind of a punishment that LG unleash on those who use this process ? seriously, why on earth would anyone try to flash his LG2, if it wasn't to get rid of root ? I also don't understand how the password went away after you did hard-reset, since the device was "hard-reset" when you did that flash. You said that you re-flashed about 5 times, did that password appear after each of those 5 times ?

Same issue here.
I also got the question after I used the software to enter my encryptionkey. Wich I didnt have.
So I had to hardreset from the recoverymenu (volume down + pwr), then I suddenly had 10.77GB left instead of 26.77GB or something similar.
Annoys me pretty darn much at the time beeing!
I did use my IMEI, not my serialnumber and model. I'll try to use the serial and model this time around, and see if there are any differences at all in doing so.
And yes, it does say 32GB on the back. So we're not mistaken it for a 16GB-model
And it does say that the model is the 32GB when I check the hardware-info on the android itself.
Maybe this has something to do with me using the adbcommand for mounting storage incorrectly?
I thought however it would be reset when I used the LG Mobile Support Tool to hardreset everything though.

Will this work with the AT&T model D800?
Also does this remove all traces of root to the point where you get your warranty back?

what was the solution to this...

Does this work with the TMO versions?

The windows application keeps getting a Windows error and closing shortly after the process begins. Any tips?

I would prob stay away from this if i was anyone else....Because it must be messing people phones up and changing the storage capacity

[Q] Bootloop please help -Process system isn't responding

It all started with the plan to root the device Samsung Galaxy Note 3
I had rooted the device using Kingo Android root. This had gone successfully. Then I tried to install some apps which needs root access. I tried an app called EFS, I though I would back up EFS and NV_ *, When I clicked on backup NV_* (cant remember the whole name), thats when the problem started. It had been 2 days since I had been trying different things to recover the device.
I went into recovery mode and tried
Clear cache
Then Back up my data and did factory reset
Between boot loops I had the opportunity to uninstalled the EFS app
Then installed twrp and tried this blog http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471421
eventually, I thought of letting go of my data, so did the format of data
used ODIN to and flashed this ROM from this blog http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540822
Despite all these steps I cannot get it working.
Current phone behaviour
The phone keeps booting again, once the UI of the phone starts, I get a window of 1 min before the phone restarts again. I get a message saying "Process system isn't responding"
I am willing to try anything to get the device functional, if it means to build it from scratch. This is my first time venturing into this side of the world, I would be thankful if you can guide me with the steps to perform a build from scratch, or direct me to a blog where I can do this?

Flash THIS it'll fix your EFS issues and your bootloop -
Grab CWM/TWRP and flash via Odin
Run that zip from custom recovery

Stay away from EFS back up apps, they're notoriously unreliable and can brick your device

Sounds like a dumb question but How to I upload this zip file to my phone. Note3 does not come with external SD slot and I am not able to connect the phone through PC either by Kies or ADT, none of them are recognising?
Can I upload this zip file through ODIN? it only accepts .tar or .md5 files?
Any tips?

Ahh, you will need to find an ext SD card, then you'll have to transfer it across via your PC then insert into phone, boot into Recovery and flash it.
Not flashable via Odin atm I'm afraid

I never knew there was a slot of SD card, else I would have backed up my data thanks!
But this solution didnt work for me. After the install of this script through twrp the phone behavior is unchanged.

Try flashing the stock rom for your phone. Then you can go back and root again....
99% of the time this will fix things...

You haven't flashed a stock rom... That is rooted and so is no longer a stock rom. Go to Sammobile.com to get a pure stock rom...
Just a note for you, whether it says stock is solely reliant on it being NOT tampered with. Rooting a stock rom no longer makes it stock, it is just a description that means no tweaks were applied or bloatware removed...
Remember that the bootloader must match the stock rom. If you are trying to flash a lower version rom onto an MJ3 or higher bootloader you will get bootloops.
The same applies if you have updated to Kitkat rom.

If you haven't updated to 4.4.2, then you should check this[first post]

Use This It'll fix it. - You have to install a custom recovery via Odin then flash that fix and you'll be alright, you EFS is warped is all.

I had already tried that fix, but with no luck. I flashed that fix with a lot of combinations like with fresh install of stock rom, with rooted rom etc. No luck

VS980 TWRP bootloop after botched lollipop OTA while rooted like a dummy

So yeah. As the title says I had a rooted VS980 on 4.4.2 with some bloat removed and I accidently hit the wrong button when prompted for the upgrade, I was in a hurry. yes, I'm a moron, and yes, I know this is probably wasting someone's valuable time and I thoroughly apologize for my n00bishness
having said that, I have tried to go through various tuts but none of them seem to be working. yes, it's likely that I am simply doing it wrong, but whatever the case I am stuck with my phone in a bootloop always returning to the TWRP recovery. I believe that means it is soft bricked so I'm hoping this can be fixed fairly easily with the right direction and some patience for my ignorance. I can't seem to get it into download mode with turning it off, holding the volume+ button and plugging it in, it just goes to twrp. :'(
my hope is to get a rooted lollipop. if that is not possible then I would be fine with going back to stock or possibly even a custom rom if it's not too awfully complicated. honestly, I'm at a point where I'm beginning to accept that I probably shouldn't be screwing around with it too much and will likely bite the bullet and just keep my phone stock since there are really only a few minor irritants that make me want to root it.
any help is very much appreciated.

actually, it doesn't look to be the same problem. i dont have download mode, but i do have recovery. it boots to twrp like a champ. what i think i really need is how to get the flash file VS98011A_01.zip on my phone via ADB Sideload, specifically when i cant get the drivers to work.
i've tried the following drivers:
LG_VZW_United_WHQL_v2.14.1.exe
LG_VZW_United_WHQL_v2.20.0.exe
LGUnitedMobileDriver_S50MAN310AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.10.1_3.10.1.0
I may very well be mistaken about what needs to happen, i'm no expert, obviously, but from everything ive read any of those should have worked. i think if i can get the right flash on the phone i should be able to flash it via twrp no?

I"ll help

read some more and found others with the same issue apparently which led me to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715408

I have no download mode, and not way to get the serial port to display in device manager, so the LG Mobile support tool won't see my phone....

Help! No response from phone anymore!

All I did was hold Vol - and Power to get to Download Mode, but forgot to hold Home. I walked away for a minute while it booted supposedly to the Warning screen, came back and noticed the blue light was on. Went to investigate but the phone turned off before I got to see what was up.
Now the phone won't charge, won't power on, no response to plugging into computer, can't get to Download Mode or Recovery, no vibration when trying to power it on. It's a bone stock device, no root/recovery/rom. Never even got USB Debugging turned on. What the hell happened here?

Not sure, give it a shot with the 32, I'd imagine the worst that will happen is it will force the card into thinking it is only 16GB, which you should be able to reverse with a free partitioning program, by deleting and recreating the partitions once you're done

Flash this Debrick file to your 16GB Micro SD card with Win32DiskImager
*Insert your Micro SD card into your computer (backup any information you may have on it we are going to ERASE, FORMAT it to ex FAT
*Open win32DiskImager
*Navigate through the browse button to the location where you downloaded the correct Debrick file
*Select your Debrick file by double clicking on it
*In the upper right corner of Win32DiskImager you should make sure that the drive letter assigned to your sd card is selected.
***Which ever drive that is listed will be erased, formatted
*Click write in the bottom right hand side
put the Debrick SD card in the Phone, Pull and Replace the Battery
Plug phone in usb and boot into download mode
yout phone should boot into download mode then flash stock firmware via odin

awesome sauce. any link to official 5.0/5.1 odin package? already on lollipop, cant downgrade (wont even bother trying)

Can't see one on any of the usual places, sammobile or samsung-updates
I`ll have a look around and post back if I find one, but doesn't look good if it's not on Sammobile
EDIT - Found this
http://downloadmirror.co/android/KR/Copy-of-G900AUCU3BOC4-OneClick.zip
The instructions for flashing that specific one-click ROM are here
http://www.droidviews.com/install-android-5-0-lollipop-firmware-on-att-galaxy-s5-sm-g900a-oc4/
Maybe try that too
Found another OTA with instructions
Android 5.1.1 Lollipop G900AUCU4COI5 firmware update file for AT&T Galaxy S5 SM-G900A
https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys5/comments/3qgvom/android_511_lollipop_g900aucu4coi5_firmware/

OK, looks like that One-Click includes ODIN - so I'd go through the debrick routine with the SDCard, then when it says to load up ODIN and flash stock, use the One-Click File

Hey there mate.. The sd card method is all you got.. How ever there is another method called GTAG but forget that.... And use the sd card method... Requirments are as follows :
1.bricked samsung galaxy s5
2.recovery image file for ur current android version
3. Micro sd card 16gb or 32 gb but 32gb is more reliable.....
The thing is if your phone cant find a boot sequence on the primary storage it moves to the secondary (the micro sd)
4.download win 32 disk imager to write the recovery image file to the sd and boot.. Then if it works shut down and boot to download mode and flash an official firmware of samsung android 6.0 is released for s5.. Download that from sam mobile
REMEMBER DONOT TAKE OUT THE SD CARD IN THE WHOLE PROCESS.. To putting back ur sd card as before use sd formatter... Any further questions contact me

Of course you bricked it, you flashed a G900I ROM to a G900F phone, why?
Bootloader and who knows what else will be wrong

y u do this if coming frm sm g900f dont try any version to flash into yr phone.

Remember that if it is a hardware limitation then there's nothing else software can do, like flashing a ROM other than the ones compatible for your variant. It will not enable Band 40 on your phone.

Nope, not 'identical' or they would both be called G900F
Different models have different bootloaders, at the very minimum, meaning you can never flash a 100% untouched stock ROM for a different model

Yup. Learned that the hard way. Now, I`m thinking if the Bad flash was mainly due to differences in PIT file rather than the hardware differences. So I have an evil idea of flashing a PIT file from G900I first and then trying to flash the whole firmware tar. But I`m worried i might end up with a SUPER HARD BRICK. i`ll update here if i go along with the idea. Any other senior members kindly enlighten if such an idea is possible..

I've just explained why you can't flash the stock firmware from a different model, but by all means, go ahead and brick your phone again
PIT is not going to change the bootloader

Hi. i've just hardbricked my phone.
i flashed (dirty over ota) latest cm13 nightly and during the day my g900f rebooted 5 times. then i've wiped everything and flashed latest BlissRom+pico gapps, rebooted and phone rebooted again on the welcome screen. ok. 45%percent of the battery. led does not shine. but when i connect it to pc - qhsusb_BULK.
Then i've got download mode, rebooted and my BlissPop started up. ok. then i've rebooted to TWRP 3.0.2.0 wiped everything again and turned it off. thats all. i can not boot this device anymore. led is dead. i can not boot recovery and download mode. i've pulled battery and waited 30 seconds. nothing. usb doctor tells 5,25Volts and 0.07A when it plugged to 220V. Battery=3,7V. i've tested with multimeter. that's all i can help... i'm so dissapoined for now. maybe you can tell me what to do? p.s. sorry for my English.
