Autorec is damn slow and has no progress bar. While its gathering device infos it won't ever respond. Be patient and when Autorec finished gathering it will work. Good luck!

I get the pop ups that says finished gathering information and backup complete
still i waited 5 minutes ( lol... yess too long.. but just to make sure )
and press the screen... NOTHING!!!!
so i will think will flask stock
but KK
right ?
i already downloaded d801v20g00.kdz
and im now that one stock
BTW,
a friend of mine just got a NEXUS 5 and the camera sux
very grainy in marginal light, suppose to be very similar to the G2 but no!
G2 is way better camera
also i have read somehwere that you can install another camera package from the G3 or G4
if i an not mistaken and that is better than the stock G2 camera
The better the algorithms to render a JPG from the RAW DATA of the chip camera sensor
the best the pic looks
is XCAM the one ?
Well, im back to stock d801v20g
i am planning to install Cloudy v3 or CM13
any recomendation ?
i heard XCAM only work with stocks
so... tough decisions

Thank you very much for your help OptimusRs
but now i have an big problem. after downgrade to 4.2.2., my phone runs well again, then i flashed optimus pro rom V4, and pressed reboot, then my phone bootloops in phillz recovery, and an message shows of: e:could not mount /data to setup /data/media path!, i tried everything that i have read in forums, when i google this. my battery is very low, and i have no idea what to do. do you or somebody, have the solution for this?
p.s. tot, dll, and lgflasher doesnt work. it says :lg USB/Parallel lock key is not detected( reinstalled tool and drivers) and when i go on, it shows an error at 90%
I'm on d802 and running v3.its smooth and works great (only some few hiccups that I can live with) So I have root but no recovery... Is downgrading the only way or do you think I should just wait and see if a newer version of some recovery will come along and save my day?

No Sim Card D802 v4.1
I have just flashed the v4.1 but after flashing no sim card is detected. Anyone knows why? Downgrading to v4.0. And I notice the reboot and boot takes longer time compare to v4.0. Full wipe and direct install from 4.2.2 stock to v4.1 also failed to install.
i'm the only one who has problem with the "unfortunately the com.google.process.gapps has stopped" ?
and the clock widget is crashing:
i think that this is related with xposed but i'm not sure :/

You open yourself up to some of these crashes when messing with xposed framework. It happens every so often, right? Not constant?

The "com.google.process.gapps" is caused by Swiftkey.
I prefer click once on ok to close the warning than uninstall Swiftkey
They will solve this for sure on the next update

I get the same message. It only happens right after I restart the phone. I don't use the clock widget but I'll try it and post here if it doesn't work. I don't know if it's related to xposed, I installed it right after installing the rom.
Edit: Someone beat me to it and says it's SwiftKey.
Also, all three of the default clock widgets work fine.

Just Turn Off Your Phone for few seconds and boot it again .... This is the same as V4 no big changes.....
if it didn't Work install v4 then Just Wipe date factory rest and install V4.1

that video is outdated and would never work on kitkat if you want custom recovery and can still boot into your phone(android os) then try AutoRec it is the easiest/only way to get recovery on kit kat

Yes i used the power+volume up button combination and it went in download mode, than the screen changed and showed "Firmware update" beneath it: "Do not unplug the USB connection until the prcess is complete." Is this the donwload mode?
The link with the recovery back to stock ROM seems complicated with lot of steps. Can i instead go for a google edition rom (such as EHNDROIX V) instead of the stock ROM at this stage?

yes that's download mode and that is not like flashing a rom through recovery that is the only way to get your phone back to working condition and method 3 is a batch file which does it all for you

I guess i need to accomplish those 3 steps:
1.2). Firmware Files HERE! KitKat 4.4.2 Firmwares
1.3). Download R&D FlashTool (offline fix) & LGMOBILEAX: HERE & HERE
1.4).Download Drivers - Click Here
Than Method 3 from the link you provided.
How do i do it exactly? Drivers i have already installed the rom is downloded. Step 1.3 is not clear how it works togehter with Method 3?

after you install the r&d tool and lgmobilelax you just have to run the batch in method 3 and everything should be done automatically

Thank you, thanks a lot.
Rooting worked, checked it afterwards with an root check app.
Also installed the AutoRec successfully with the apk file, i did run it after inszallation and everything. But i want to test it whether it is there, how can i check it? I held the power+down keys but its an white screen: "Factory hard reset" below it: "Permanently Erase user Data & Reset settings?" and below this: "Press power key to confirm, and any other key to cancel". Seems not like recovery with a lot of options touch buttons and things. How can i check for correct installation of the AutoRec?

oh to confirm if custom recovery installed correctly on the factory reset screen click power button 3 times and it should boot into custom recovery or download an app from playstore like rom manager and use the option reboot into recovery

[Q] LG G2 bricked and can't flash stock firmware!

So I'm really into Android developing, I'm always flashing and installing etc, but I got a problem now.
Phone information​
LG G2 D802
Rooted
TWRP Recovery 2.7.0.0
Was running 4.4.2, found a kdz file on the internet and flashed it (no regular update from my phone)
What happened​I actually did something stupid, I received an application update from the LG Download Center (or whatever it's called) on my phone and clicked on it. I was planning on flashing Android 4.4.2 again because my firmware was not stable, and I thought this update could help me.
But no, after it finished downloading, I automatically booted into recovery.
What I did​So I tried to reboot and enter my OS, but unfortunately, I was stuck in recovery.
I did everything I could, wiping (Dalvik) cache, factory reset, flashed a new rom, restored Nandroid backup, but no, every time I booted, I got back into recovery again.
I only saw 1 option left, booting into download mode and flashing a new firmware.
I found the Netherlands 16GB kdz file for Android 4.4.2 (because I had a French one first), the one I was looking for.
Looked all over the internet, and all guides pointed me to this guide.
Tried it, but I got multiple errors, one of them was that my phone was not connected while I was at 15% of the flash process.
What happened​After that first flashing process, I booted up, but got a Security Error. After the Security Error was showing for 5 seconds, my phone shut down. This is happening every time I try to boot up.
I couldn't access my recovery anymore, nothing. Edit: I can access my recovery right now, and I tried this, but when I boot up I get the Security Error again.
The big problem right now is the Security Error! How do I bypass that?
So can someone please help me out!
Several phones/tablets of mine bricked and I always found a way to get out of it, but not this time, unfortunately...

Yes, I actually have. Didn't mention it, but after I did that I booted and got an LG logo and below it was a text that said 'Security Error' After like 5 seconds the security error goes away and my phone shuts down. I can only enter download mode right now.
I'll edit my first post with this info.
Thanks for the help though!
Edit: I find a way to access my recovery again because at first I couldn't but I figured out that the code in the thread you linked was a bit different than the code I entered at first.
So I used the code you gave me, but now I get the Security Error again!
Hi mate, just like you i downloaded that damn OTA today and messed up my phone, but in my case was because i had totally forgotten it was rooted and had custom recovery installed :silly::silly::silly::silly:
I followed this tutorial to fix the boot secure error http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 and it worked like a charm except for download mode wasn't working at all.
After doing some research i found this post http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...ricked-lg-g2-stuck-twrp-no-download-mode.html and got download mode (apparently) working again but Windows didn't recognize it at all so i couldn't use it to flash the .kdz stock firmware.
In the end i just flashed a custom aosp rom and got my phone back to life but the download mode issue it's still there and it's bothering me quite a lot.
Any suggestion is welcome.
EDIT: Don't download the recovery from the post, instead look for the latest version (2.7.0.0) because the one posted there (2.6.3.2) might corrupt your partitions

Thanks! But does my internal storage get whiped? Will all my pictures etc. be gone?
And the first thred removes the security error right? And after that I can just boot into recovery mode (I can boot in recovery btw) and flash a new rom? Just wanted to know this so I don't go through all that trouble for nothing
Edit: You know I can enter both download and recovery mode right?

Nope internal SD remains intact, basically what you'll be doing is pushing the right files into the system partitions and yes, in theory you should be able to flash a new rom.
Even if you can boot into recovery you should do it if you're getting that error, and after that you can just push a ROM file to flash (i'll assume you know how to do it) and btw let me know if you decide to flash a stock based rom instead of an aosp like i did.
Good luck with that :good:

i installed the drivers and the USB is connected but the pc don;t even say that the device is connected . and nothing in device manager at all
Perhaps you might consider sending it in to lg if you still have warranty. But I'd you don't, there are services on eBay/ Craigslist that can help you.

I did the exact same thing because the ****ing jokers at LG / Wind labeled the phone wrong.
It's actually a D803. Yeah, despite what it says on the case.
You can find my solution in my post history here.. You need to flash a .laf file with fastboot to get your download mode re-enabled, then you can apply a stock .kdz file to bring your phone back to stock.
Then use the D803 files and no worries! You can fix this.
If you're scared, I can also recommend a respectable shop in Toronto that can fix it easy.

after stock, it still says rooted ?

Hey guys,
a while ago i rooted my d802 and flashed some roms and my experience was that my batterlife was worsen. So i tried to flash official kdz firmware in order to unroot my phone.
What i did was verry simple, flash the kdz and factory reset the whole device. But then i went back to download mode to see if i still had root. to my suprise it showd this (kdz 220b, userB99- rooted)
my question is why is it still rooted ?

Let me know, did you download KDZ ROM from http://lg-firmware-rom.com ?
You have to enter your IMEI to get you download link. It's a kdz file with around 1.6 Gigabytes.
Right?

It doesn't make sense!
Stocks KDZ will make your phone like first day and repartition all partitions.
CES mode should works and Its delete all of your files.
BTW, It's just way I know to back to completely stock ROM.
Try again maybe works.

i totally agree with you, but i already tried more then once.
I remeber that around 3 months ago i flashed an official kdz file and i tried to install root and recovery but it kept failing, so i installed an app called autrec and this app fixed everything .
Could this thing cause the problem ?
No, autorec just install recovery.
LG flash tools 2014 flash lg's recovery from KDZ file.

Hello abati.
The "rooted" tag in download mode is an error by LG, when they updated the LG G2 to KitKat. You can manually replace some files (rct.config), but even though it shows ROOTED in download mode, it isn't unless you manually rooted it after flashing a kdz.
If you're thinking of sending the phone in for a repair, I recall hearing that it doesn't have any effect at all.
But if it really bothers you that much you can flash a Jelly Bean ROM kdz (4.2.2) and UNROOTED will appear in dowload mode or just replace the files. But it has no practical value since your phone is not rooted.
Hope this helps!

It will change make sure you download and flash the correct model and storage (16 GB or 32 GB).
Also, it's easier to press thanks button than to say thanks - unless you're out of thanks for today, like I am

hey m8 what you said is right, i flashed a kdz (D80210A_00) but it acted strangely cuz it kept rebooting and I then shutdown the phone with a combination of the buttons and then powered on but it kept rebooting. eventualy i checked in the download mode and there it said unrooted in white text.
eventualy i went back to kdz (D80220H_00) kitkat rom, and i factory reset everything and downloaded root checker, root checker says LG g2 device is not rooted. But when i went back to download mode and just see what it said ^^
It says rooted men -_- realy disturbing
did LG do this intentialy ? cuz if i am going to send tis device for repair the chance is very high that they will charge me the cost for the repair because my phone shows that i rooted.
how should i deal with this

Like vPro97 said, "The "rooted" tag in download mode is an error by LG, when they updated the LG G2 to KitKat".
I suggest installing the Stock Jelly Bean .kdz file for your device, and then upgrading to KitKat ONLY via OTA.

But when i flashh jb kdz it keeps rebooting, totally nonsense if you ask me, but when i hold power and volume down for a couple sec. then the phone shuts down, after that i pressed the power butten but it still kept rebooting. I was able to enter the download mode and see for my self that it showed that it was not rooted, but besides that the phone always keeps rebooting.
After I flashed the kdz based on kitkat, i did not had anny problem at all, except that download mode shows that im rooted when in realtime its not.

Hello again. Sorry for the delay, was busy reading!
After flashing a jelly bean KDZ you need to perform a hard reset if it bootloops.
Just press and hold volume down and power button till lg logo pops up, then release the buttons and then immediately press and hold volume down and power button again. Then follow the instructions.
If you flashed the correct file, you'll get an OTA update to kitkat
