so I got lg support tool to install, but now it doesn't recognize my phone as being plugged in. in the directions it appears that you have to enable usb debugging, but I cant do that cause my phone wont boot past TWRP recovery.i already wiped everything on the phone. is there a way to flash to stock from twrp?
here is a screen shot. my model isn't listed in the available options for a driver.

Put your phone in download mode

Navigate to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
open hosts in notepad++ or whatever..
maybe you'll notice the lines 127.0.0.1 lg..blabla.., just delete them or put # in front of them (#127.0.0.1 lg.blablabla..)
This is in case you tried the automatic offline kdz installer and the vbs couldn't remove the lines itself.

There could be many reasons why it didn't work. Just have to be patient and see if you had missed any steps. Have you tried using a different computer? You have the right drivers installed for your carrier? Got into Download Mode with no problems? You have the stock rom and the correct dll files? Seems like you know what you're doing so I suggest try it on a different computer and remember to reboot your system after making any changes/installations of programs or drivers.
I was in a similar situation and panicked and did rush through some steps which luckily I calmed down long enough to realize my mistakes and got a successful flash. Good luck on getting your phone running stock again or able to exchange for a new one.
In the spring.zip file there is the dll file and the tot file make sure you put both file and not use the att dll file. If you got the right one there is others thread that shows how to vome out of boot loop with out having to go back.

[Q] [REQ] DLL for flashing D805 10B TOT file through LG Flash Tool 1.6 - Please help

Guys, I really need to find the LG DLL file database for flashing .TOT files.
The DLL file I need is for the LG G2 D80510B_00 or LG G2 D80510A_00 TOT file firmwares, to be used on 1.6 LGFlashTool, for Brazil unbranded variant of the phone. I believe it will work for all D805 models.
The .TOT file I intend to use is LGD805AT-00-V10a-724-05-AUG-23-2013-16G+0.tot
I have scoured the internet for over a week and found none other than in a chinese LG G2 forum, the link -- http://bbs.gaodi.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=662769&extra=page=1&filter=typeid&typeid=2381 -- and the file was no longer available for download. I registered on their forum, but the file was showing an error even after proper registration.
I have not found this DLL anywhere, is there a database for it? How did people come up with the AT&T and Vzn DLL versions? I haven't been able to extract it from the KDZ files either, and the DLLs generated from the KDZ during UpdateTool does not work.
I had bricked the phone originally by trying to use Scott's Clean Rom on it, and it bricked into fastboot mode. I flashed something wrong on fastboot, I can't even remeber what, and rebooted, and fastboot was no longer accessible...
I can get into download mode, and factory reset from stock recovery, no custom recovery available, it is gone. I try to flash KDZ files, many versions besides my D805 one, just for the sake of trying, but all of them get stuck on the 49% point. I have set up port 41, disabled modem, reset phone before trying, selected many different language combinations besides my own Portuguese one. Nothing works.
On LGFlashTool 1.6 it seems like it can work, but it errors at 1%, when I use the DLLs for D800 or D802. I need the DLL for D805. I even managed to find the proper TOT file.
I have also searched for about two days on how to reenter fastboot mode from where I currently am stuck.I even did a DIY Factory Cable on an micro USB I had lying around, soldered it all right, but it did not work, and the cable got very hot. I think these cables will not get G2 into fastboot mode, like it seems to do on Kindle fire and Motorola devices. Maybe my DIY was not that good, but I think it should have worked, I made sure the soldure was set and good.
I am downloading Android SDK to try to get back into fastbood mode from there, if there is a way, as it seems to be. I would try to reflash boot and other partitions in an attempt to fix my phone... Is there a way, or another faster path back into Fastboot?
Download mode does not show the version of the firmware on the phone in the box that displays information in the bottom while fdlashng KDZ files. It leaves a blank line where it should be. I believe it is part of my problem, that LGFlashTool does not see a version on the phone at some point, and fails. Or the phone rejects the PC pushes.
I am almost going to the tech support guy with a flash box downtown, but that would be my last resot, and then official LG support, if all else fails. I don't want to go to LG yet because download mode shows ROOTED in red, and they would see it probably, and my warranty become void.
Thanks for any ideas, guidance or help... Cheers guys.
Read this carefully may help you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595
Yeah, that was the guide I used when I landed on fastboot after a bad flash from CleanROM... I flashed some boot.img and recovery.img that didnt work out well.
After I flashed these I rebooted and fastboot mode was no longer loading, instead, I am now on bootloop of the LG logo, with no animation, just the first logo that shows on boot, and I can access stock recovery to factory wipe and also access download mode. My download mode shows rooted warning, and while I am flashing a KDZ, does not show the firmware version I currently have in the middle of the box - before I flashed those .IMGs, it did show the version.
I now a, after a .DLL for D805 10A .TOT file, and I cannot find it. I think the flash method from LGFlashTools 1.6 will work, with .DLL and .TOT files, where the LGFlashTools 1.0.5 did not work for me, with .KDZ.
Or if anyone knows of a way to get into the fastboot mode for G2, pelase let me know. Then I could reflash some .IMG files and hopefully get my phone back online...
Try to flash other version even this is 802 or internetional version. At least you can proof your phone completly brick or not.
I only have all TOT file link of F320 and D802 if you need to try.

I went to LG Mobile Support Tool and >Options on top right >Update Recovery.
It had to download, so I did it at a friend's who had 50Mbps internet house, to fix this.
I am sorry that I could not manage to do it offline. I even had the KDZ file to flash, but it was only possible through this option in LG Support Tool...
Best of luck to all in any similar problem, I know I was kinda without hope at some points. I spent 2 weeks trying to fix the phone.

I already installed this ROM and Worked all fine, but when I'm trying to install some Magisk Modules and rebooted my device it get stuck at LG logo... I can access Download mode but not my TWRp recovery.

Thanks to all that tried to help me! I appreciate it a lot! Thank you so much!
My only solution was to try short the capacitors following this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404
Thanks God I don't need to mess with the board!
My problem was that I tried this ROM LineageOS 17.1 with latest version of TWRP Blastgator. Everything was running fine until I flashed Magisk and installed some Mods, then the device rebooted and I get stuck at logo!
No System and no Recovery access, only Download mode! :crying:
Then I followed this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
I used to install some custom ROMs like Cloudy G2, LineageOS, Resurretion Remix and AOSPX Pie and tried to this new one. I never had any problems!
This time I realized that my device was forever bricked, my last hope was to short the capacitors but I tried all ways to back to Stock because in Downlaod Mode my device was recognized by Windows.
I tried this in Windows 10 x64 but no success, then I formatted an old HD with Windows 7 x64 to try again!
Old Flash Tool get me stuck at 2% or 4%... no success in both system with all LG drivers available... NO SUCCESS!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53313255&postcount=5400
LGUp only gives Unknow Device and never start but it's seens the device on port 41 - that I changed following the tutorial.
My last hope was New Flash Tool but I needed TOT file for my Device - D805 not D802 and the correct DLL. initially I didn't find anywhere... Like this guy:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583851
I give a lot of tries... a lot of different files, DLLs, tried .KDZ and .DZ, only errors and errors... a lot of "Failed to Load()"...
I'm getting frustrated until I see this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
And found this mine of gold of Downloads:
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/
And again, thanks to all, there is a hope in the D805 folder!
I get the TOT File: BIN_LGD805AT-00-V10a-724-05-AUG-23-2013-16G.zip and tried the LG Firmware Extractor (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600575) to get a new DLL (LGUP8974.dll).
And voilĂ , like a charm that WORKED!!!!!!!!! :fingers-crossed::highfive:
It installed Jelly Bean the with the Official LG Updater I installed Kitkat and finally Lollipop.
Later I'll try this LineageOS Rom again!
I hope I can help someone in need like me!!
I thank this forum a lot!!
And please excuse my English!
Thank you so much!

[Q] Bricked LG G2 D801, PC/Linux not finding device!

Hey guys,
I recently rooted and flashed my LG G2 D801 to the Dirty Unicorns 4.4.4 along with the JellyBean BaseBand (since I was on T-Mobile KitKat before).
I noticed that the usb connection to the PC wasn't working after the flash and thought I didn't properly clear everything. So I tried to flash the rom again only to end up clearing the internal data as well which had the rom on it. Now my phone is Bricked and I can't upload anything because the phone won't show up in Windows or Linux.
I CAN still however go into Download Mode and TWRP Recovery.
Tried to install the universal LG United Mobile Driver, phone still won't show up on PC.
Been scouring forums for a solution for a couple days but still can't find anything that will fix the issue.
What else can I do!?
Try this I was in your same situation and have D-801 and bricked my phone like 2 times(messing with it).
Just follow all the instructions from the site below and it should work.

Tried the first KDZ method first and tool said phone wasn't connected.
Switched to TOT method and Device manager didn't list my phone so I can't change to COM41.
This is even though I uninstalled the LG Drivers and re-installed them...
Download everything from the post itself, even the drivers and download the KitKat July 31 KDZ. Put phone in download mode and follow directions. Only 1st mode worked for me. So I suggest you try it a few times...
Total Noob Moment
Hey guys, so ended up solving my issue around the phone not being recognized by the PC. Well, I decided today that I would try a different USB cord and whaddyaknoww the PC finally recognize/install the drivers so I could use the Flash tool with the KDZ method. :victory:
Thanks for the replies!

[Q] Did I brick my phone?

Hello,
I have a LG G2 (D802). I was busy flashing the stock KDZ, when I got an error. The progress on my phone stopped, and nothing happened anymore. I wanted to try again, so I turned my phone off. Now, when I boot my phone, it gives the LG logo, and then nothing. When I connect it to my pc, I get a lot of format pop-ups.
I followed this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
The KDZ I used: Netherlands Open 16GB KitKat D80220D
Furthermore, also while connected to the pc, I only see a folder called "image".
Can someone help me with getting my phone back to stock? It doesn't matter if everything gets wiped, I already backed up everything.
Thanks in advance!
If lots of drives still pop up when you connect your phone to the PC,then follow this guide:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQVTc2m6U-I
I did it,and it fixed my download mode,and I could finally access Download Mode.
If your Download Mode still works,try the TOT method,it worked for me,since the KDZ method would be stuck at 2% every time(in my case).
So,after,or if your download mode works,do try the TOT method.

Just dont panic,even if your phone is in a "hard brick" state(doubtfully),there is a fix for it too.
I suggest you do not do anything without consulting with other members.
You just have to be patient.
EDIT
Oh,and go to the Device Manager and tell me what name your G2 has when connected to the PC.

Right click on My Computer and select "Manage"

Then,you should see a certain Disk which is separated into tons of parts.
This part is crucial!

Ugh thank god
those drives SHOULD be popping out
Right click on My Computer and select "Manage"
Then,on the left part of that window,you will see the "Disk Management" option. Click it
Then,you should see a certain Disk which is separated into tons of parts.
This part is crucial!

Download the kdz suitable for your model and flash it with LG Flash Tool.
Follow the "Back to stock" guide which you mentioned in the OP.
There will be a link to the KDZ archive for various models,and make sure that you select the kdz for the 32 GB variant if you have a 32 GB variant. Because it will be dangerous if you flash a 16gb variant kdz on a 32 gb phone.

EDIT
And if the same thing happens when flashing,fix it again(if it won't access the download mode) and try to flash while using another PC.
Mate, you are the freakin' best!!!! Mah phone works again!!! Now I'm going to install CloudyG2_3.3. What are the steps I need to perform in order to NOT(!!!) brick my phone again?
That'll be my last question, I can't thank you enough!

So the kdz flash worked,and the stock rom boots?
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Forums Pro.
Yea it works! I used the stock KK rom though, since Cloudy requires the KK bootloader. I did it right here yes?

Yes,excellent job.
To root,download "Towelroot" to your phone,install it and press the "Make it rain" button,then install SuperSU,then look for "AutoRec" and make sure you get the version for your variant.
That is just halfway,I will tell you the rest tomorrow,it is 00:26 and I have to get up at 07:00. xD

Haha cheers! I think I got it from there, it's just that I don't want to do it in a wrong order haha ;P
And thanks a lot, again! Get your deserved sleep, I should do that too.. Gotta go up at 06:45 hah!! I WIN! xD
Okay,moving on.
Download the BUMPED TWRP from this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705
It is in a flashable zip,so just flash it with the TWRP which was installed by AutoRec.
You must have the bumped version of TWRP!!
After you flashed the BUMP TWRP,reboot recovery.
Here is a bootloader changer,AROMA edition:http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/d802-bootloader-changer-1-1-jb-kk-lp-t3104380

Hey man,
I noticed that Towelroot doesn't work for LG G2 Lollipop. Any idea how to fix this?
Edit: trying it with another root.
Edit 2: rooted. Going to flash now.
Alright it works, thanks! Can you tell me why I need the bumped version? Just curious

It is complicated,just do it. XD
I was asking the same thing like you.I ignored others,rushed with roms,didnt use the BUMPED TWRP and my phone was bricked.
Basically the TWRP you get with AutoRec is just capable of flashing partitions for the bootloader,not the system partition(the rom is in the system partition).
The BUMPED TWRP has a certain type of an exploit,and lets us install those system partitions.
Shortly:You can't install roms without the BUMPED TWRP.

I'm guessing my phone is refurbished?
I bought a D802 from a third-party, with:
- 32GB ROM
- 4.4.2 D80220b firmware
- 2G, 3G, 4G working
- The csmg.lgmobile.com website said that according to my IMEI, my model is the UAE 32GB D802 and gave me the D80230a firmware for manual flash via LG Flash tool.
I used the phone for a while, rooted it and used Xposed. Never got recovery so no backup(wish I'd seen the SRK tool before). Then I downloaded the firmware from the csmg.lgmobile.com website. I flashed it via the Flash tool and everything seemed fine. Then it booted:
- Touchscreen was erratic. Ghost touches, dead spots, phantom touches, whatever.
- The Baseband Version and IMEI in About Phone both say Unknown
- ROM has converted to a 16GB version
- Download mode is fine along with every other feature of the phone
After that I looked around and found a UAE D80220c firmware and flashed that. It flashed fine but all the above issues remained the same.
I browsed around extensively here and found out:
- Refurbished phones have their back cover and firmware changed to imitate D802's.
- My phone is probably some other G2 model with D802 firmware and an altered IMEI
- The actual model of my device is UNDER the motherboard. Which, apparently, I must get hold of so I can flash the appropriate stock kdz. This gets a bit too hardware-y for me.
So, basically, my phone is no more useful than a brick at the moment. Any expert help would be appreciated but here are the main questions that I'd really like answered:
A. Should I try various flashing the kdz files from different models mentioned in the link I gave up ^there until one clicks and then try to do something about the IMEI?
B. Is there any chance that my phone is beyond repair forever?
C. Should I stop messing around with my mediocre knowledge and take it to a repair shop?

Half Bricked LG G2?

So.. I own a D802. I had the awesome idea to update without making backups and stuff...
I just want to list the things that are going on ATM.
-TWRP touch is messed up. Cannot use keyboard or slide to enable ADB Sideload (I have been able to do that a couple times after trying for 5 minutes swiping like an idiot)
-Phone gets recognized by PC but I when I access the folder it says that it is empty, and I can't see any files inside the actual device.
-In TWRP I get this error talking about not being able to mount /data.
-Also I it says Internal Storage (0 MB)
-When I try to wipe internal storage I get the same can't mount /data error.
-Cannot access bootloader/fastboot
-Boots in TWRP always
-ADB Sideload gives this error...

-I have tryied the TOT method but it starts in Download Mode and then boots in TWRP again, and after 1,5 min or so says that it failed (on LG Flash Tool)
Guys... In all honesty... I am quite sad, can't buy a new phone ATM, am no pro at this stuff, and I am really confused. LOSING hope over here. Any kind of help is appreciated!!
+I had the idea that maybe I could emulate the Phone on the pc without actually needing to have android running, maybe it would be able to detect it by itself.. I don't know. Guys... I don't know what to do. I haven't tryied KDZ method yet but I don't know what different I can expect than the TOT method.

I'd try the KDZ method. It sounds like you just need to reflash your phone. But I'm ignorant with these things. Good luck.

I might as well give it a shot since the TOT method was no luck...
Guys if anyone could, I would really love a link for the D802 KDZ file. I don't seem to understand which one I have to download when I get a list of all the available downloads for every version of G2.

edit: there should be a link to a bunch of KDZ files, you will have to choose the correct one. again, good luck.
YES! I got stock lollipop flashed with the KDZ method easy. I don't know why I didn't try it before. I guess I thought It would be the same as TOT which failed. In any case I got it to work, rooted it and once again got CM12.1 in there. I guess I never learn. It did work this time though hehe
