Hello there, I am just wondering what region my newly purchased LG G2 from ebay (it was sent from hong kong) It's the red 32GB edition and it has MAS on the box - so I presume Malaysia?
I'm very tempted to experiment with custom roms as I hate the LG interface. Is it possible to restore the phone into such a state where LG wont know that I installed anything if I've to send it in for service . Does the phone have any sort of flash counter, etc that samsung phones have?
Thanks

instead of "your_imei_here" you type your imei(serial number without spaces) and paste into browser. You should find your kdz link there.

It appears that the site must have been down when I tired it yesterday. I tried it now and I get this
FW675795432109876543213/D80220B_00.kdz
Anybody know which region this is ? SEA?

Thanks once again. I'm having a look through the page and it appears the region field is blank. The reason I'm asking this is just incase I have to return everything to stock incase I have to return it to LG service ( I flashed a EU rom and I forgot to make backup) or will LG just not care provided that it's an official rom on the phone ? Thanks.
Edit: I can't post links, but the attachment is what information I'm being displayed

Even if you can't find region on page(doesn't mention it) the file it provides is always model specific and for d802, region specific so you can use that kdz provided to return to complete stock for your specific device

the link you've got through the imei provides the original kdz for your variant.

Thanks for your help guys, much appreciated. I reverted back to the Hong kong rom One question: When I was flashing my phone firmware back, on the phone it said my phone was rooted, even though I never touched anything like that before. I flashed the phone again and it said that it wasn't rooted on the flash screen.
I just checked the status now by going into the firmware update screen and it's now saying rooted. I'm not on the one directly installed now but rather the initial kit kat update (for personal preferences)
http://storagecow.eu/Xda/LG G2/Stock/Hong Kong D802/HK KitKat 32GB D80220A_00.kdz
Is it normal to do this? Again, I'm not rooted nor have ever tried rooting my phone.
Hmm... I tried flashing the firmware that's provided by the LG and the firmware flash page now displays at "unrooted" . I would prefer to use the kit kat without the knock on update. Is this possible without it displaying as rooted? This is strange :laugh:
Hi all, I'm selling/trading my g2 which I rooted using iwo root so that I could change colours/status bar etc, I've just done a factory reset but when turning back on it popped with team win recovery project jargon like an old computer which doesn't look 'standard' is there a way I can remove this?
Please help a non techy guy!
I'm on a D802 in the uk on kitkat 4.4.2

Best way would be to use the LG flash tool and kdz back to stock. It will wipe/replace all partitions with stock files and your phone will be restored like when you first pulled it out of the box.

Make sure you download the proper file for your phone (model number/android version). If you don't know what android version you're on, go to settings/about phone and look at android version. Then download proper file.

Ok thank you, my phone is on O2 but I believe it is also unlocked as both a Vodafone and EE sim card work in it, so do I download the:

Or
http://storagecow.eu/Xda/LG G2/Stock/United Kingdom/UK OPEN 16GB KitKat D80220D_00.kdz
It's just I'm afraid of bricking my phone! And I'm not that clued up on this stuff, do I follow the Rom kdz method or the one below that?

That I'm not sure of as I have a different variant. You might want to ask in the d802 Q&A thread. Just post links to both those files and I'm sure someone with the same phone will be able to identify what file to use. Good luck!
PLEASE READ THE OP BEFORE POSTING.

ROOT
We have root, using the method described by @avicohh, whose guide can be found here.
TWRP Recovery
Edit:
We have an updated 2.8.7.0 TWRP Recovery created by @dirtyhewr, which can be downloaded here. This is new as of 2 Feb 2016.
Exactly one month later, @dirtyhewr has released the NEW and improved TWRP 3.0 image. It can be found here.
Sprint and ATT FlashTool DLLs
@tripptofan gave us the Sprint DLL for the FlashTool, and multiple users can confirm that it works. Here is that DLL. Hyelton's Mirror of the DLL.
The ATT DLL can be found here. Thank @i2andog for that one.
Sprint TOT and ATT TOT
Thanks to @hyelton, the Sprint TOT can be downloaded here.
Thanks to @i2andog, who gave us the ATT DLL, we have a TOT as well for you ATT folks here.
ROMs and KernelsKernel: Dirty Kernel by @dirtyhewr. Flash through Flashify until further notice.
Honorable MentionsA TWRP backup of all partitions other than /data and /cache, can be found here. It is based off ZV5, and only works for Sprint. If someone would like to contribute an ATT version for future use, upload it and I'll get it in the OP. Rooted is preferred.
I also have the ZV6 FOTA update for Sprint. It can be found here.
An added bonus: A-boot image for ZV6 and also the LS885 partition lists by name and block.
Check this OP regularly for future updates.
@DaemeonZane
Thank you so much!!
Anyway to use the flashtool to unbrick the LS885??
So far, no. We need someone to locate the DLL and things for the FlashTool to work. Have you tried to use fastboot to push the recovery to the unit and using my TWRP backup to restore it? I'm not 100% on whether this unit HAS fastboot, but that could be an option.
As soon as someone is willing to dd their stock recovery we'll have a way to reflash the stock back to the device and try to cover any tracks left behind.

How can i flash the TWRP in download mode?
As far as i know LG doesn't have a fastboot mode.....
I have this device... I 100% hate it due to the fact that the stock os sux more than anything I have ever known... it has 4 cpus, so one would think it would be a little fast, but no... wish someone would compile cm for it... I lack the necessary skills, though I have tried. . there is no device tree for it...
another problem faced with this device is the locked boot loader... although I understand theoretically it can be "bumped", should a Rom become available... I'm glad someone at least is trying to get a thread going tho! this is my first LG and will definitely be my last... but until the lease runs out, I am stuck with it...

Here's a way to enable fastboot. It requires root. I realize it says G3, but it does work.

I'm a full time truck driver as well as an on the side certified technician. I won't be home for close to a month, but i synced the CM Repo and have a build environment set up. As soon as I can get back I'll get it rolling. I also have the source for stock and the straight android source. That way i can build a fully stock flashable zip.

Sent from my LGLS885 using XDA Free mobile app
I used the method for unrooting a standard LG G3 I found elsewhere to fix an issue with a LS885 that was unsuccessfully rooted, but I have reached an impasse. After the s/w download finishes and the device restarts, the screen shows the number "2" and my computer tries to reconnect and install the LGE Android drivers. The problem is it never installs the drivers to connect again and the flash fails. I'm wondering what I am doing wrong here...
@tripptofan: I saw something on that over at the regular G3. The fix may be the same. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/problem-returning-to-stock-try-t2862463
We share a lot of similarities with other LG devices, especially the G3, but their ROMs won't work for us. Yet. In the meantime I'm trying to talk to a buddy of mine on here to see what he can do to help out with ROM development. Until we get ROMs for this unit and get everything else going, we're stuck using just a thread.

Do we still need the stock software for this model? If so I'm putting it to the drive right now.
NOTICE: IF YOU HAVE COME TO THIS THREAD BECAUSE YOU HAVE BRICKED YOUR G3 VIGOR, FOLLOW THE LINK THAT @DaemeonZane HAS PROVIDED ABOVE!
Using the steps listed above and the stock software and DLL file that should be provided in this thread soon you can restore the LS885 to it's factory settings.
Thanks, Daemeon. Those steps in the link you provided were VERY similar to what I had tried before except for one. Once I put everything in order I got this blasted thing up and running.
Glad I could help.

Everyone, the OP has been updated with the FlashTool DLL for our device. Someone needs to get a backup of the stock ROM without the bloat or root. The sooner we have that the better.

You need a class 10 card for the guide, otherwise it will corrupt.
Well if you don't remember what is the official firmware you can use 3 methods
1.Visit the shop or the site where you bought it and ask about the firmware version otherwise just check it in the product info
2.If by any luck you have the brand box there is a section where it mentions about the phone details
3.Last you can try many firmwares one by one unless you find the stable one which will be easily to do with Odin V3 and if one firmware doesn't work simply load another one via download mode
*Tip*I once had a situations when i installed the wrong firmware and it literally couldn't even boot into download mode with the power + volume down way so i searched for it and the solution was to simply try other button methods it took me like 10 minutes but i figured out a way you better search for it cause there are plenty ways..
if you need any help feel free to find me [email protected] otherwise reply in the thread
Good Luck..
