I have a Bell G2 (D803) that has black lines on the screen. I have a TWRP backup of the stock ROM but I need a stock recovery in order to factory reset the phone to normal to send it for repairs. I've tried the kdz method but it doesn't ever work. Any ideas?

Have you tried the .tot method? Im pretty sure there is a .tot file floating around for your variant. And what do you mean the kdz method don't work? I had a few issue when I tried the kdz but got it all worked out, maybe I can help you.

D803 doesn't have a .tot method available. I managed to get a kdz to work but since Bell customer service are a bunch of ****tards, it was a waste of time.

brilliant answer... ill make sure i press that thanks button lol
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)
So I have a LG G2 D800...well that's what the IMEI sticker says... the phone software detects a d802 international version anyway after rooting it all fine and dandy I go to install a custom recovery I tried twrp and cwm both give out a boot certification verify error, my first thought was that it was bricked but I unplugged it and it rebooted fine. So I have no idea whats going on here and why I can't install a custom recovery.
I just did get this phone back from lg over a bad flash, the flash went so bad that the lg techs said the board was bad and replaced the motherboard.
So any help or ideas why I can't flash twro or cwm to it?

if it is now on kitkat then you need to use autorec; a little concerned about it being d800 showing d802 after being sent back by lg

I'm not sure if it just says that because it's been rooted, but I had to send it into lg because it was either Odin or lg flash recovery that said the dll file was wrong and I couldn't find any way to fix it so I tried recovering it in fastmode and the bootloader some how got screwed.
If I use AutoRec and don't have a custom recovery how easily can it become bricked?
Actually it says whats exactly in your sig, LG G2 D800 on D80020U
And like I mentioned my phone is already rooted so could I just run this root to overwrite it or just go back to stock?

well first if it is d800 it should always say d800 whether it has been rooted or modified(I own a d800 and do lot's of modding always making sure it will say d800 as model number)
yes autorec can brick a device but only if you are using the version which is not for your device and to fix involves a lot of work
to return to complete stock you have use the lg flash tool and tot method

ok then, you should be good to go for using autorec for d800 but after using it you will not be able to use knock on/knock code because it does not have updated kernel for d800 which incorporates knock on/code and I suggest you make a backup and then flash a custom kernel with knock code support for d800 to fix the issue(it happened to me so I should know)

If I do brick it would I still be able to enter download mode and reflash back to stock?
I was planning on flashing Cm11 to it anyway so knock code isn't that important to me, but I do remember being able to flash it then installing Cloudyd3 and knock code would work fine.

Autorec only has a chance of bricking when used for the wrong device, and because it flash a laf.img this means kfbyour device gets bricked by it you lose download mode and have to restore it using adb and fastboot commands
Cloudyg3 includes kernel modification for knock code for d80020u, while on 20k/c this was not an issue

Thanks, so I should go back to stock, reflash using lg flash tool then then reflash using the method above and then install AutoRec so I can use Twrp and install cm11.
I got a used LG G2 from ebay. It is mentioned on the back of the phone that it is a D802 version whick i confirm with IMEI number also. I was trying to install Autorec but as soon as i finished and rebooted it was stuck in fastboot. I researched about it a lot. I have no access to download mode. I tried flashing the laf.img but that too didn't work. Can anyone help me and provide me with the correct files. Thank you in advance.

Your motherboard says d800?
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.
