I have done this once before on a different computer but do not have access to it or the downloaded files. My At&T Lg G2 is in a boot loop. I do not have the box anymore with the IMEI on it to do the alternate method. All I need is the stock img dll and the Tot file but the links arent working...ANYWHERE! The site they were on has went down or something!
Does anyone have them or able to email me them or something....PLEASE HELP!!!!

Folks,
I gave my rooted (mahdi rom) ATT G2 to my teenage son seeing I was no longer using it. He said he tried to update the Mahdi ROM and now it is bricked. From my questioning him all I know is when he was installing the mahdi update, but he did not flash the D800 patch. Noticing there was a problem I think he tried to re-flash recovery or something. All he would get is "fastboot mode".
I think I am a pretty smart guy and have been on XDA for years flashing and what not with no issues - but this one has me stumped. These are the steps I have taken:
1) Finally got it into download mode and when I try to flash the tot file for ATT, it says incorrect model. Says the model is the D801 (t-mobile)! I was like what?
2) So I tried to flash the D801 tot and it seemed to work, but the flash would ultimately "Fail" in the LG Flash Tool. It would boot up into the t-mobile rom but I would get errors and reboots - very unstable. AND the IMEI was wiped!
Does anyone have any ideas what I can try next? I would like to somehow change the model back to the D800 and flash the ATT tot file. Maybe it is truly just bricked!?!?
Any help would appreciated! Thanks!

if you can successfully root device with towelroot(best choice since it is not device specific) then your best bet is to copy d800 build.prop(or to play it safe edit the build.prop model number from LG-D801 to LG-D800) into system/ give it rw-r--r-- pemissions and reboot into download mode, it should say you have d800 and you should be able to flash back to d800 tot(might want to be using d800 dll that ignores model check too just in case)
Hey Guys!
I am wanting the stock recovery (update.zip) file for the LG Optimus L7 [D321] Cricket.
I have done some Google searching and have found the stock recovery "files" but there are 4 different files and they are .kdz format not one single .zip file like you'd expect for Android.
Can someone please tell me why the files I found are .kdz not .zip???
Also, can someone please tell me where I can get the stock recovery for this device???
Okay so before you start criticizing me for being a completely dumb-***
I am fully aware that I am. Glad we can pass this part.
Now for the real bullpucky,
I installed CloudyLG 3.0 on my D801 not knowing it was only for Korean Versions of the LG G2
I bricked my LG G2 D801, No Download Mode, No LG G2 logo, No recovery, just Fastboot
So I found a thread which helped me with, this problem but my dumb-*** wasn't think and half asleep
So I flashed the wrong files for my phone. Instead of using the D801 .img files, I used the D802 .img files.
I can see the LG G2 logo, Download mode and stock recovery but, where I am stuck is here
I tried flashing the stock rom using the kdz file but nothing is working. and yes my phone is showing up on my computer on COM4/41
Any means of help? or is my phone done for?
I am willing to work with anyone who can help

If you have a D801 T-Mobile you should be Returning to Stock using the TOT Method.
Visit the Return to Stock thread.
Scroll down a little and you will find the TOT Method.
Grab your TOT .zip & dll file from here.
Try the TOT method instead of the KDZ method.

I tried the TOT method, but since I flashed a ROM that wasn't compatible with my D801, my entire phone now is pointing as if is an F320S, it doesn't even say its D801 model.
When I tried to use the D801 TOT file with the correct .DLL it failed to do so because of the wrong TOT aka my phone saying it's an F320S model when it really isn't.
I'm downloading the F320S TOT file w/ the .DLL, hopefully this works.
Is there any alternatives for this? I would appreciate it! thanks for the reply
internal memory issue , i accidentally flashed a 16 gb stock rom on 32 gb lg g2
Please guys help.....
I got it to work.
You should get the d801 tot file, edit it with hex editor to the line 6010 by copying the line 6010 of f320 tot file save it, and then follow the guide to of going back to stock with lgflashtool with tot file, remember to get dll file that skips version checking, it worked for me, i did the same mistake.

Are you sure you have original D802? Because many refurbished D802 are in fact either D800 or D801.
You may need to open it and see main board.
Hello Guys,
I was wondering if you can help me out clarifing a few things about flashing roms in .kdz format.
So i was on Cloudy 2.2 and had a lot of issues and then i decided to revert to stock. I followed the hyelton thread and did the TOT method. Now i have the phone on 4.2.2 working fine. At this moment i want to upgrade to 4.4.2 or 5.0 but when i check for updates i get the information that i'm on the latest SO. So my questions are:
1. How can i force update to 4.2.2 or even 5.0 without rooting? I tried to find the TOT file of a lolipop rom to flash via tool but can't find any.
2. I tryed to flash a .kdz lolipop rom via LG Tool (i extracted the dll and DZ) but i get an previousLoad error... so any suggestions?
3. The last case i could go back on rooting and put a custom recovery and then put the lolipop, but to achieve this, from 4.2.2 wich steps should i follow?
I'm asking this here because i saw multiple threads and discussions but can't get the right ways to do what i want.
Thank you very much.
Cheers
Note: The version is d802, portugal.
Well guys, after much nerves and errors.. here are my conclusions
1. If you want to use Lg Flash tool and flash a stock rom with .kdz extension, you need to put the rom file in the tool folder then run the tool with admin prev. Then select the file and press cse flash. You'll get an error on connecting to servers probably (i got one). Ignore it, but DON'T click on nothing.. the process is still runing, so even with error, just wait... you'll see your phone doing some progress. After a while it will reboot and VOILA
2. About TOT file, i just went with the kdz method.
3. To get the right KDZ file use thiss repo: http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/
then you can put your imei and get the rom or just find a rom that fits you.
4. To get the lattest Lg Tool go here: http://lgflashtool.com/
Notes:
. Keep in mind that the .kdz files are big (>1,6gb) so make sure the download is not interupted, use a download manager or firefox. If its corrupted you'll have problems.
. All the files and sites are not mine, i'm just mentioning them.
Now running stock lolipop with no prob.
Cheers
