So, I rooted my coworkers Sprint G2 or LG LS980 using IoRoot a month ago and had TWRP installed on it. prior to doing this I had looked into what it would take to revert it to factory unrooted unmolested state. didnt seem to hard with the lgFlash tool and what not....
Well two days ago he accepted and tried to install the new OTA. he was on ZVA firmware, and I believe the new OTA was for 4.4... well the install of the OTA failed im pretty sure do to TWRP being installed instead of stock recovery. instead of stopping there and calling me he tried to fix it himself... I believe one of the things he did was to wipe the device. as in advanced wipe, select EVERYTING including system....
He gave it to me today rather pissed and asked me to fix it.
Ok, I have bee through MANY threads about reverting back to stock, and it seems I am having a serious driver issue... In my laptops device manager I can see the LS980, but it has no driver installed. I have downloaded many different versions of the LG drivers from various tutorials here and on other websites. I even tried to find them on LG.com, but no luck there.
I can get it into download mode, holding vol+ and plug in USB, but once I try to connect to it via LGMobile Support tool or LGFlash tool, they do not detect it. it tries to load three different modems, and the center one always fails. is there anyplace I can get JUST the driver, not the entire self extracting EXE files?
I was just going to copy a ROM onto the internal storage, but even using the mount tab in TWRP it will not connect to my computer.
PLease for the love of all that is sacred to XDA help me!!! I sadly do not know much about ADB... I have never really used it. at this time it is not installed and I wouldnt know what to install and how to ADB Push a rom onto the phone...
Edit, here is ONE of the tutorials I tried, but since I cannot get the proper drivers installed this hangs when I click the yellow arrow to start it....

okay so have you tried the following from this thread-
If you DONT have ADB access (because of an early build of TWRP), you can simply use TWRP's awesome "terminal command" option to run the following:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
You'll have to type that whole thing out, and be VERY careful with spaces and punctuation. One wrong letter and you could nuke your phone.

Yea, I have been trying that method... my issue now seems to be that one of the drivers is not installing correctly. So I cannot change the device to port 41. And the app will not see my phone. When I get off work tonight and can use my laptop again I will try downloading advanced and setting that up and see if I can make it work that way. I also read the other thread that was linked last night looking for the two terminal commands to try, both the fota, and the miscellaneous command... found the commands, typed them in, and now my phone boots to the LG logo and my notification light starts scrolling through different colors. I can still get to both recovery and download mode though, so I am not giving up.
Also in that thread someone mentioned koush's generic adb drivers... I downloaded those and will try that as well.
Basically if I can just get my darn laptop to connect to this phone I think I might still have a shot at reviving it.
Multi color led makes me think, wing kernel. Like installing zvc kernel over zva system modem.
You may have to uninstall all lg drivers, and reinstall
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Well it was running fine until he tapped accept on the ota so I dont know how he would have gotten the wrong kernel.... I have uninstalled the drivers a few times and reinstalled different versions. There is always one that fails when I plug in the phone. Plus I get a message on the device about mediadata unknown, or not found.... something like that. I know before he called me he tried the wipe option in twrp. I know on my galaxy s4 we were not to use the wipe data command in there, I'm thinking he did...
But I can still get to download mode so if I can get my laptop to recognise it I have faith I can lgflash tool it back to life... if I can get the drivers to cooperate...
Quick update on this... I found a tutorial on using adb and managed to sideload a rom, derp milestone 1 I believe it was, and after it completed the phone booted up just fine. My friend wanted it to be reverted back to its stock unrooted state, so I tried LG mobile something or other on my laptop... you all know, the one where you hit options then upgrade recovery and it should download and flash stick software? Well it saw the phone, and said there was no upgradeable software on it... mind you the phone still has a working twrp 2.6.3.3 on it... I don't know... I tried LG flash tool, but i can't get it to be port 41 for that to work... but at least the phone boots and runs fine now.
Still having my driver issue though. When I plug in the phone windows installs 3 drivers. One is CDC driver which always fails. No clue why.
Any ideas?

Everything I found on this says volume + and power, which kicks me into download mode, not fastboot.
I've gone into adb and typed adb reboot bootloader, but that just restarts the phone and turns in on like normal.
I google the how to enter fastboot mode on LG G2 and can find plenty of post about being stuck in fastboot, but nothing on how to get into fastboot in the first place.
Found a tutorial here about setting up and using fastboot and thought I was set until I got to the part about "and using fastback", where it just says:
Make sure you have android debugging turned on in your phone (not really needed for fastboot but you do need for ADB), plug it into your computer and boot into fastboot mode...
I felt like watching "Much ado about nothing" when Denzel says; "The learned constable is too cunning to be understood"
Any direction is appreciated.
Hmm, I may have written that guide... Just checked and yeah should have been more clear I'll change that up. It should have read the USB debugging was needed for adb (not for fastboot) so when you can issue
adb reboot bootloader
But after that I did mention to check device specific forum for answers on how to get into fastboot/bootloader and being I've never held an lg g2 I took a quick look around.
Unfortunately the only way that I found that people said works every time is to wipe recovery to get into bootloader mode as the recovery you guys currently have disables something due to a patch getting custom recoveries to work
So yeah, I would advice to speak with someone knowledgeable about your specific device before you just wipe recovery
Out of curiosity, is there something specific you need to do with fastboot or are you just curious about your phone?

the current thing I've been trying to straighten out is that despite being rooted and installing TWRP, I can't install ROMS. I tried CM 11 and Hellfire so that I could put kitkat on, but gave the following:
Error executing updater binary zip.
One of the answers I found said that I had to go back to TWRP 2.3 (I'm using 2.6) and I believe that's where the whole bootloader thing came into play, because it was the way to 'downgrade' -
So then I found Philz touch 6 (as I understand it a mode of CM 11), but here he talked about fastboot and lokifying items. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554053
In the end it still comes back to the "can't load ROMs" issue. Just want a completely stripped down Kitkat that I can add the stuff I want without the bloatware.
Thanks in advance.(and the thanks button was hit on your reply)
For KitKat you should need a newer recovery with SELinux support which I believe is 2.6.x and newer for twrp, 2.3 I doubt would work if there even is one for your phone
But yes fastboot is often the best way to change recoveries but not the only way.
If there is a flashable.zip you could install new recovery from old
If your current ROM supports the flash image binary you can use a terminal emulator
You can use adb to install
Or even apps from the market
I would look for the latest recovery for your device, twrp, cwm, shouldn't matter so long as its new and then find what way works best changing for your phone.
The update-binary issue is often a sign that you need to change recoveries
Unfortunately without having your device I don't know if I can give you the best answers but feel free to ask
Best of luck!

Thanks again. I have adb and the script for loading TWRP 2.6.xx. I unrooted and rerooted the phone, because I wasn't sure how to replace the recovery... Now I think I realize that I could just find another recovery image and place it in the same file as the loki flash and that will flash it (At least that's what I understand at present).
If that's the case, then downloading the Philz touch 6 would work... but not wanting to brick it, I'm still asking and reading.
Hello Guys.
I am having a similar issue. I have a new ROM that will not run because of a faulty lg set up wizard that always force closes and I can not get passed it and a nandroid that for some reason is corrupted. So. This fastboot seems to be a dead end it looks like a quick learning curve of ADB is the only viable answer. I have installed all SDK Manager with ADB Tools and also the required Jarva JDK and LG drivers. The phone is turned on (at the beginning of the faulty setup wizard) In CMD my device is found when typing in 'adb devices' So. I am already to push a new ROM over to the phone.
Do either of you guys know the adb command?
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks
You can't actually flash a new ROM with adb, but you can either push it phone with adb and then flash in recovery. Or if your recovery has an option for adb sideload then use this.
Also setup wizard crashing is usually the fault of wrong gapps or not wiping before flashing a rom
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I found that the best way was to load flashify, that did the trick so I could start trying out ROMs... so no on to the next step - finding a 4.4.2 stripped down stock and the LG stuff I actually like.... thanks again.

Thanks for the reply!
I know it's not possible to flash a ROM via ADB. I have everything set up, ADB etc, etc. My phone is turned on and adb is seeing it but I can not work out the command to push. Every time I try to push I just get a long list of ADB instructions (I think they are) but nothing gets pushed. I have read lots of instructions on how to make the command but I still must be doing something wrong.
Here are my parameters;-
adb push/C:\Users\dene\Desktop/cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3-d802.zip/sdcard
Am I missing some spaces I am not aware of? Are all my slashes the right way round and in the right places? Is my 'sdcard' destination designation correct seeing as there is only internal storage on the G2?
Another problem I am having is that ADB has no problem seeing my sevice EXCEPT when I boot in to recovery (TWRP). When in recovery I lose coms between my device and pc. Hence I can no do TWRP ADB side load (I have tried). I have all the correct LG drivers loaded. Except MTP keeps failing to install? Any ideas?
Not to be mardy about it or hassle you but I am fairly house bound and live out in the country and really require my mobile phone. I have spent many hours trying to figure this out. Any help with the above would be much appreciated?
PS. I did a very thorough wipe, I always do. The gapps are built in to this ROM!
Thanks

You need a space after push
But it usually easier not to enter the location of a file while pushing so cd to the directory first like
cd C:\Users.....
Then once there adb push /nameoffile /locationonphone
But if you don't want to cd, I see you have widows, depending on version you can just right click in the folder your file is located and choose open cmd here

As I thought I bought LG G2 D-802, but it was D-800 and I accidentally install the lollipop of D802 and now it's in bootlap.... I can only get into fastboot and whenever I try to flash .img of D-800 or D-802 it just stuck at "writing .img"
What to do to unbrick the phone and bring it back to live. I tired the adb and fastboot cmd method on windows 10 and windows 7 but no success. It's just stuck at writing .img file.
Just switched over to Tmobile from Sprint and before even signing into google i went ahead and tried to root my phone. Rooting was a success. Used Flashify to flash twrp recovery. Downloaded rooted stock D80110G rom and began debloating it (like I did with the Sprint version) and then booted to recovery, wiped twice, flashed and reboot. Well, now it will just keep rebooting back to recovery and thats it!
I still have access to download mode
still have access to custom recovery
Did not do a nand backup unfortunately
cant mount in twrp because computer no longer recognizes phone!
shows up under unknown devices as LG D801
Tried the stock recovery using LG Flash tool posted in generals but ran into the "can not update because of your device policy" or something like that. Reinstalled and tried it again many times, even switching languages and countries (the last step)
Tried using the ubuntu method posted by partager.info but even ubuntu does not recognize the device. Matter of fact nothing even happens when i plug the phone in.
Tried reinstalling drivers, tried on 2 different laptops (one windows 8.1, one windows 7, and an ubuntu usb boot) and my desktop computer (windows 8.1) and am just unable to mount using twrp because none of them recognizes it!
tried using the adb sideload but twrp just stays trying to load adb sideload forever and adb terminal cant even find the connected usb device.
Tried factory reset but that just takes me to twrp.
I've redownloaded the rooted stock rom and left everything as is. I'm assuming I just need to get it onto the phone somehow so I can flash it.
I have an otg cable but not quite sure how to work it wit twrp or if that's even an option; I've just purchased it.
I feel like I've exhausted my options. Anything else I can try?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Should've just used Titanium to debloat instead of trying to do a fresh install! I know I know
Figured it out! not sure how to delete this thread now

I used the flashtool to go back to stock. Had to enter download mode and work from there. The big issue I was having was a driver issue.

Hi,
I really would need some help, think I kind of did a stupid thing yesterday. :crying:
I bought a secondhand LG G2 d802 a few month back and been very happy with it. I live in Singapore and yesterday I remembered that I had read that LG would realse the KitKat update for LG G2 in Singapore in mid March.
I went in under phone settings and serched for LG updates and it was a an upgrade on around 500Mb. I got really exited and started to download it. After it downloaded it restarted the phone but then open up an app called TWRP, and no mater how I try to rebot the phone it always comes back into TWRP.
What i kind of have understood is that my phone was/is rooted and I guess that didn't go well with trying doing a stock upgrade. I have been using stock android 4.2 so not had any custom roms installed.
My question: is there any way to either role back to my prev version (4.2) or install 4.4 without loosing my data (pictures, don't really care about the apps)?
(I have tried to find where the phone downloaded the update to run it through the install feature in TWRP but can't find the zip file. I can't enable the OTG port in TWRP so not sure how I would be able do run another ROM either)
Hope someone can help me!
Thanks,
Sandra
So it looks like your phone has a custom recovery installed and you tried to install the stock OTA. What you can do is either KDZ back to stock or flash a custom ROM. I would just flash a custom stock ROM. Easier and less steps.
Good luck!

Hi mackster248,
Yes that's correct, that was my thought as well but in TWRP under mount I can't enable OTG usb. So I cant read any ROM from any external source and I dont have any saved on the phone either so how would I be able to do that?

You can use the lg mobile support tool to flash a stock rom after going into download mode on the g2 (holding volume up and press power on). Don't flash Kitkat since there's no root option yet.
I don't see a way to keep your pictures though.
You can use the terminal in TWRP to nuke the fota partition and restore normal boot.

Ahhh, I see. You'll have to KDZ back to stock then. I think someone already posted the link, but if you need help let me know and I'll try to see what I can do. I have the T-Mobile D801 so I'd have to see if it's the same process for your D802.
Worked like a charm! Felt like an idiot when this happened to me. Good thing I backed up all data before trying the KK update. Thanks!

i have the same with the one you got and here is the fix for you
Here’s the easy fix:
Method 1: Using ADB access, plug in your phone and run this:
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota of=/sdcard/fota-backup.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
Now you should be able to successfully reboot your phone via the TWRP menu option, or via a simple reboot command in adb.
Method 2: Using TWRP’s "terminal command" option to run this:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
You’ll have to type that whole thing out, and be very careful with spaces and punctuation. One wrong letter and you could nuke your LG G2.
Hey guys. Here's the deal: I screwed up my BELL LG G2 and the only thing I could get it to take was a TMobile .TOT file. So I did that and it "works" now. Thing is, I get no bell internet now because well... It's messed up. The phone thinks it's a D801 but it's actually a D803. So anyway, I want to get Bell stock back. I downloaded the stock bell kdz so that's not a problem. I have that latest (like last month I believe) KDZ flash tool from LG called "LG Flash Tool 2014". Here's where things get messy...
Step by step:
1) I open the file "LGFlashTool2014.exe" and it opens fine.
2) For "type" I select "3GQCT" (I don't even know what this means to be honest), for "PhoneMode" I select "Emergency" (tried DIAG too and it makes no difference) and for KDZ I select the D803 Bell LG G2 KDZ file I have. I leave version blank as it fills itself in.
3) I select either "Normal Flash" or the other one that wipes everything (neither work....)
4) It then brings up it's second screen and I select "Start" at the bottom.
5) It brings up the third screen asking about language and I either leave it or choose "other country". Both of these options (in the top drop down menu) give me no options for actual languages in the bottom drop down menu. The bottom drop down is just blank. Anyway, so I then select "start" again.
6) The LG Update Tool pops up and does the following:
It verify's my phone's connection, says "extracting software" then "S/W Upgrade is in progress" then it suddenly stops and says "Upgrade stopped due to error." Followed by instructions to disconnect the phone, remove the battery, reconnect the phone, and turn it back on (it's a bloody LG G2 so I can't take out the battery...)
What do I do here guys? I'm seriously confused. Oh, and yeah I've tried uninstalling and re-installing... My phone is in download mode. USB Debugging is on. What the hell else can I do?
I have this same error.
I have s80210a-EUR-xx and Rayblobe ROM (since late last year) , android 4.2.2
I get stuck to that exactly same point "Upgrade stopped due to error."
Trying to get kitkat with this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705259
edit: finally all the searches got me somewhere. so, tomorrow i'm going to try this:

Firstly, thanks for taking the time to reply to me. I reallly appreciate it (nobody here seems to give a flying.... Well, you know). What exactly is that post you linked saying? Not sure I understand what he means.
BUMP!
Can you boot into recovery?? Try getting that ROM in zip mode and flash it through recovery. It should work.

I'm trying to first flash stock ROM and then go back with the original plan.
Also, I did find "stock kitkat ROM" .zip. But I don't know if you can post links to other places than xda?
I've made my nandroid backup already, so first i'm going to test that kitkat rom. because, if it works, it's much easier

If you mean to get bell stock rom and flash it, I tried. It bricked my phone and I had to do the TMobile .TOT. Now that I have TMobile, I have no recovery and I have no idea what recovery to put on the phone (CWM or TWRP? Bell or TMobile?)... God this is such a pain in the butt... If I ever get the G3 I wont be rooting it...
Alright so I rooted the TMobile rom on my LG G2 (again, it makes no sense because I have a Bell phone). I then installed "Flashify" which can be found in the app store. I found the TWRP recovery img for D801 TMobile LG G2 (you can find it by searching on google) and then I booted up adb (you need to install adb if you don't have it). I put the bellstock.zip (I renamed the file) into the folder for adb and opened adb. I then typed "adb sideload bellstock.zip" (you need adb sideload to be running from recovery on your phone first. In TWRP Recovery -> Advanced -> Adb Sideload). Adb started to very slowly sideload the .zip and I was excited that it was working. Well, it got to 100% and said "Success! Enjoy!" and I was so happy. I hit the reboot button and...
LG Symbol just stays on my screen and the phone never finishes booting. It's not a bootloop though, just the LG logo on my screen with a pulsing blue/green notification light. How do I get past the LG Logo?
Thanks guys...
Just tried sideloading a different version of the Bell Stock rom... It failed. Maybe I should have cleared cache or something first? Anybody?
Try to push roms to your phone instead of sideloading since sideloading is more risky. If youhave a custom removery then did you tryed to format system first? And then installing the rom? You dont need to wipe data if same android version if you still have data on it else also wipe data factory reset and also dont forget to flash the right modem for your stock kitkat/jellybean.

When I try to push adb just re-pastes the whole menu into the cmd window and does nothing. I could only get sideload to "work". And yeah, I have the radio for Bell, I just haven't flashed it yet because I want get rom working first. Also I did wipe everything before installing the rom.
I was having some issue with a rom and figured it was time to reflash/flash a new one. I started the process in TWRP and Aroma froze half way through. I had to reboot. Unfortunately I had already wiped my rom. I can get to fastboot, but I cannot get anywhere else at all. Can anyone point me to a way to get back into recovery?
Should have mentioned, H918.

Download adb to your computer. Connect the phone to the computer. Open cmd and use cd or pushd to point cmd to the directory where adb is. Once you are in that directory (from cmd), use " adb reboot recovery "
If what jinkerz9430 suggests doesn't work,
You may have to go back to stock. Here is how to do it for 10j:

Then you reroot as before.
Fixed!

Thanks for the response. I ended up rooting around for a long while after this post and settled on using LGUP and found the correct files to reflash to stock. Adb would not work at all. I could get fastboot access, but that is gimped. No driver update would fix the adb problem. I've never had this issue before, with any phone. LG seems to make things more difficult than necessary. I miss Samsung.
Thanks

That link seems to 404. I'd be interested in reading that though, if it isn't actually a 404. I believe what you are referring to is what I did though LOL. I found the kdz and dll, and used LGUP to get flashed back to stock. I'll never let it out of my sight again.

If you flashed stock with lgup then everything is back to factory settings. Is this is the case, then the autorization you gave to your computer via usb debbug (where the prompt appears if the device is connected to a other device without authorization asking you whether you want to authorize it or not). Is also back to factory settings. Which means not even developer mode is on. But after you turn developer mode on and usb debbug then connect the phone to the computer and it will ask you once again for authorization
