I smell a new trend of installing incorrect phone ROMs.
This is what...the 3rd or 4th person this has happened to? It's a shame it really is and accidents happen. I hope people take more precaution in the future. :/

This worked flawlessly for me. The only thing I'd add is that you have to turn the device off before rebooting into fastboot mode.

Thanks, I will check and edit my post if it works
Wugfresh has also updated his tool to accommodate 4.3 on the N7 2012.
So I flashed google stock 4.3 the official image img from their site with the option 11 from the nexus 4 toolkit.
all good. works.
problem: the total memory of my phone is only 5.66gb anymore. I used to have 16gb of memory. IT'S GONE!!
does anyone have an idea how I can reset my nexus 4 completely? I want my phone to be as it was when I bought it, how can I just have lost internal memory??
please please help anyone, thanks in advance!
Don't worry, there is a fix for that.
Unfortunately I don't know the link but you will be happy at the end.

Only WiFi out so far it seems..
Am I blind, or did the Google Now launcher disappear? (I set up as new device, as I have both WiFi and LTE, and couldn't see which were which) I thought you just start Google Now and choose to use as launcher (so I can swipe from left to access Now) Someone please remind me?
Otherwise seem smooth (based on all of 5 mins usage. Used latest preview before)
Bah! I had to install Google Now Launcher...

I guess they chose to have users install the Launcher from the Play Store. I was scratching my head for a minute also.
I've just flashed the stock factory image, word of warning... It took me 10 minutes for it to boot so be patient!

Booting it now, glad someone said something, was wondering what was taking so long.
Mine has taken at least 20 minutes at the initial boot (spinning colors) screen. Anyone else taking very long?
Help!
On wugfresh when i enter the md5, it says mismatch, how do i fix this? Can you post the hash here? I tried the one for razor several times but to no avail.

Does flashing a factory image relock bootloader and lose root?

I'm running Scott's build and it has root so yeah it's doable, just don't know how to do it on the factory image.
Root
Is there a stable way to root the official factory image of lolipop? Can I just flash something in recovery like the past? I am not sure what the word is on rooting now that the official images are out.

No and yes. You need it unlocked to install the image and they recommend locking it when done but you're not going to want to. It returns it to stock Lollipop so no root.
SuperSU 2.19 beta is working fine for me.

Correct me if I am wrong but I am pretty sure it won't relock bootloader but it will lose root.

You lose root and recovery but your tablet doesn't relock
Thanks for all the quick replies, i'll flash the latest SuperSU after I flash the ROM
I recently accepted the D80120G OTA form T Mobile while rooted on stock recovery and naturally root broke. I couldn't reroot with stump root because the root script was still on the phone. Stump root said device was already rooted. I tried to install KDZ file to "unroot", but could not get phone to boot into download mode.
The following is a fix for rerooting your phone with stump root if it says your device is already rooted even though your root is broken.
1) Launch LG Mobile support tool
2) With phone on, plug in USB
3) Select PC Software from phone USB settings
4) Wait for LG support tool to recognize phone
5) Select "Upgrade Recovery" from options in LG support tool
6) Wait for LG Support tool to complete recovery
You shouldn't need to back up anything as it will not wipe your phone. However, better safe than sorry.
Now stump root should work with brute force method!
This worked for me! Thanks so much for the post!

Will test it but just tell me this bro
I wish and pray this helps me too.. I have the same issue... Trying to test it but battery too low.. Now charging and would let u know with thanks for sure..
Btw my phone was rooted before 20g and just wanted to ask if i dont wanna factory reset my phone b4 this method..
This method did not reset my phone. However; backing up is still good practice before doing anything. Best of luck to you.

Hey. I really love you for this. It worked like a charm. How you figured it out bro? The process of recovery upgrade seems to manipulate system files which enabled the rooting process to succeed.
Anyways thanks again.

Brilliant!
Many thanks for posting this...worked perfectly!
FWIW, my phone was NOT recognized after installing the G2 drivers from the LG download page. I had to install the entire LG PC Suite. No idea why this worked out over against simply installing the drivers, but I thought I'd add the tidbit here in case anyone else has the same issue.
Thanks again!
Mine says no problem to fix

I faced this issue some time ago but my phone wasn't rooted. I did a CSE flash to JB and took OTA until my phone was up-to-date and when i reached the last update I couldn't boot into download mode.
Did u ever find a fix to put into do we nload mode

Worked like charm for my T-mo G2 D801 20G with lost root access after taking OTA (4.4.2.) Had to do it twice (crashed during install at 80%) and it does involve the 1.6GB download of the firmware (for those who are wandering)... Thanks for this.
I have the same problem, but after i click upgrade recovery a popup windows say " no upgrade items to fix"
who should i do now

Without experiencing this issue myself, I would suggest checking each step for completion. Aside from that I cant offer any alternative fixes. Hopefuly someone else on this board can discover a work around from their experience.
Good luck!
WTF!!!
I followed these instructions exactly. My t-mobile phone rebooted and now it has Lollipop. I'm pretty sure they haven't released it officially...

Here you go! Having issues at the moment though. I can't download anything from the Play store. Gets stuck at the downloading bar and never downloads anything. Might have to reinstall.

I also found this article tonight. Its for the G3, but reading through the comments also confirms it worked on G2. Thats crazy you stumbled on this. I wonder why its available through the lg tool? Let us know if you figure out the bugs.
