Hey guys, im unable to unroot. even before the uptest.exe have reached 100% my phone has already booted up. when i enter download mode again, it says it is still rooted. anyone knows how to solve this?
only way to get rid of rootes status in download mode is to flash the stock rom via the way to return to stock lgg2. Its a thread somewhere on this forum.
even then sometimes it survives that flash. Then factory reset and try again. also try the lg software from lg with the repair recovery option

That is what he did. Uptest.exe is the flash tools used in that method.

Man, it IS unrooted, it just says it isn't in DL mode, try doing a factory wipe, Then flash the stock KDZ again, that should hopefully put it back to unrooted :good:
Also, the phone reboots at about 70% in the up test exe, if you look at the device it is at 100% while the flash tool is only at around 70%, don't worry that is normal.
yeah instead of that use the official lg flash tool. or try again, as sometimes with flashing it is maintained.

Uptest is LG's official tool, when you run uptest.exe it opens up the LG Mobile support tool, which flashes the KDZ to your device.
EDIT: sorry, i know what you mean now. I didn't know you could revert to stock with JUST the lg support tool from LG's site, i thought you had to have the uptest program :good:
when I download, install and run that tool I dont run uptest.exe, but the tool itself.
strange but ok. Learned something new.

My phone was great until I tried flashing the hellfire ROM. It told me that it couldnt flash bc it was D801 and not G2. Idk what it meant bc all other D801 ROMS flashed successfully. Anyway I tried to factory reset after that and it says it cant mount data or something like that. Now I only get the LG screen. When I try to go into download mode to flash the correct kdz file in flash tool to reset the entire thing back to stock it stays on the screen that says download mode and has the blue dots. And when I try to run the program through windows and the flash tool it tells me that the phone isn't connected to the PC. Can anybody please help me? Oh and I have TWRP recovery installed but all my backups are gone all of a sudden,.I can't do anything with this phone....!!! Thanks to anyone who can help.

Of you search up stock ROM for the lg g2 you should find something that has d801 stock firmware you would see d8010c or something like that find it and read up on it.

If your using windows make sure you run terminal from with ABD shell folder or it won't give you the ABD commnads.
Same problem
I have exactly the same problem please help!!!
someone help please, me too have the same issue please.
Just boot into twrp and select install zip from sideload. Connect the phone to pc. Go to your adb folder and type
adb sideload .zip*(for example:adb sideload update.zip)
Be patient, you got to wait until adb has copied your zip to the phone. Then the actual flashing will start. So leave the phone untouched for like 15minutes and wait till it's done.
This way you can flash the phone in a working state and then kdz again.
Don't forget to wipe all before flashing and factory reset afterwards.

You could try editing the build.prop file. That's where ur device is reading that its a d802 variant. Or just use adb to push the right twrp. The one from the app failed because its not loki'd most likely. You can also download a loki'd recovery img file and flash using flashify. Once u got the correct recovery just flash a stock ROM.
Or if ur existing recovery wasn't overwritten, just flash a stock ROM.

I tried the flashift method but it just hangs its just as confused as I am! But my recovery was corrupted cause when I try to boot into it a couple letters flash across the upper left of my screen I hold down the power key and it reboots into rayglobe. Ok am not familiar. With adb I have tried to set it up but keep failing for some reason. I tried to push the b Loki sat morning and just never figured it put thought I was typing the correct commands but apparently not

If ur rooted, flashify should work. Just make sure u select recovery img from app, and make sure u have the correct recovery img downloaded.

For LG flash tool to work properly ur gonna have to edit the build.prop so it sees VS980 4G instead of d802. Not really sure how to fix a corrupted recovery on 12b firmware without adb access. Hang in there, someone here will b able to get ya fixed.

this one: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d802
but i prefer to install twrp first, then flash philz in twrp, reboot once and then flash the rom thru philz (thats what i did and its working like charm now)
The problem is if my phone thinks it's a 802 it won't let me install twrp for the vs980 beca use it thinks it's a different. Phone. Unless u pushed it to the phone with adb and I have not figured out how to do it successfully.

I have another thought and I'm hoping I can get an answer if my phone thinks it's an international 802 is it possible to use the twrp app from the play store to install twrp for the 802 this may give me the ability to get a recovery and also flash a stock 802 rom
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
Ok so i just bought a new lg g2 d801.
I unlocked it succesfully, then went on to root it succesfully using ioroot.
Then I tried installing twrp using freegee and it didnt work giving me comparable results to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50501346&postcount=867
so I went on to install it manually from terminal emulator (I installed the rogers version as suggested by another user here as this is exactly my situation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50502408&postcount=869
I followed this method for the code in terminal emulator:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfilename.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
replacing "recoveryfilename" to the name of the rogers .img.
Now the phone just boots normally into the stock interface but it is all glitchy, no wifi, computer doesnt recognize it and then within about 1 minutes it boots into the lg logo with the "turning on" sound randomly and keeps doing that.
adb devices gives nothing. I cant browse the contents of it but it does seem to be interacting with the computer since it is saying "driver updating... etc."
Ahhhh not too sure what to do from here.
If anyone can guide me I will be infinitely grateful, so discouraged right now.
I just want to bring it back to stock, nothing valuable at all on it, I have had it for 4 hours.
U can do a factory reset and see how it goes. Go to settings > general> backup and reset> factory reset.

Ok so I have managed to succesfully reinstall the original exact videotron firmware that the phone was running just one day ago.
There is something else going on. Its still rebooting every 10 seconds, whenever there is a text input prompt the cursor goes when I press within the box but the keyboard never appears. Wifi is non functional. Imei is saying "null" now whichI find extremely worrying...
Anybody heard of this before? I would really love to understand what is happening to this seemingly incredibly fragile phone.
Im about ready to toss it in the trash.
It seems like it has a virus or something.
Every now and then during the short glimpses of functioning it undergoes, there is a small grey box that appears near the bottom that says error.
It is not recognising my sim card either.
Please somebody help me out, I am willing to pay for help at this point.
Much love,
Zach
Also, I can never close/lock the screen. If I close it, its a guaranteed reboot. Every signle time. so for the phone to work screen has to stay on. 24 hours ago it was showing absolutely no signs of any of this

You need to first download the kdz and lg flash utility with drivers.
Install drivers
The factory reset deleting system, cache, internal sd.
Then shutdown your g2.
Start to downloaded mode connecting your g2
Flash kdz & voila... Done

This works 1000%. I bet on it. Just remember to wipe the phone completely before flashing. You will return to stock with unrooted status in download mode. U will have your warranty back too

I've flashed a new ROM on my LG G2 (D802) 16 GB and now I'm in big trouble but maybe there's some help in the XDA-Forum?
Here are the facts:
- G2 starts and takes few seconds and then restarts
- Got no CWM Recovery etc.
- Installed the orig D80210A Firmware via Flash Tool
- Can flash anything via LG Mobile Flash Tool
- Can boot into download mode
- CAN NOT ACTIVATE DEVELOPER MODE (nothing happens while ticking on the Build-Number)
- Got NO IMEI (got a EFS Backup via ioroot but without developer Mode I cannot communicate with the G2 via USB-Debugging)
- Facory Reset doesn't change anything
- No network and no GSM (I think cause of the missing IMEI)
Can anybody help?

I've got the 49 % thing a few weeks before and the only thing needed was to change the COM Port to 41.
