So im on VS995, trying to get back to stock. Seems pretty simple...except I cant put my phone into download mode. Every time I try, it goes static screen and cant be recognized by computer.
Ive been reading threads for hours and hours now and cant find a solution. I even tried flashify and chasinsu app, but those were dead ends too.
Someone posted to flash the kdz file with fastboot. But i couldnt find any instructions on how to do that.
I only have one day left to return the phone. so im almost out of time.
I know this question has been asked a million times. I really did go through a ton of threads trying to find and answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First time I have heard of a static screen in download mode, but curious you also state the phone isn't recognized by the pc. Have you tried different usb cables and ports on the pc?
Sent from my LG-H910 using XDA Labs
Search for KDZ extractor and extract the VS995 KDZ for the firmware version you are running. If you can't find a KDZ for the version you are running, you will need to flash a LOT more than this, do NOT flash only these partitions unless it is the exact version...
Once extracted, get into fastboot mode. With the phone off hold vol down and plug in the USB cable.

Reboot your phone. You will still get a warning for now, but you need to make sure your phone boots. If it does, get back into fastboot mode.

it cant be recognized by comp because of the static screen. Ive tried different cables and different computers. I even tried flashing a different rom and kernel just to see if that would make a difference, but still it goes to a static screen 2 seconds after being in download mode.

ill give it a try and see what happens. thanks. But to be clear. i know it came with 10b. But when i rooted and added custom roms, did that change? Do i still need to use the 10b kdz file? Or any KDZ file? The one i downloaded is 14b

Just so odd. It boots up fine. Just threw on Alpha Rom and flashed custom kernel. No static boot. Its only when i go into download mode.
You get static because download mode uses a kernel that doesn't have the screen init patch that the kernels you can flash have.
Even though you have static, your phone IS in download mode -- trust me, the H910 is the same way (or was on older firmware).
If your phone isn't recognized by LG UP in download mode, then you have a driver issue, or a cable / port issue, and you might not want to use fastboot, because fastboot may recognize your phone, but it has NO error correction, so if you flash with a bad cable, you can brick your phone.
You say you flashed Alpha ROM. Go into settings / about phone / software and determine what version you are on. THAT is the KDZ you need to download. However, I would try to get LG UP to recognize your phone first and just flash the KDZ. Going that route, it can be ANY VS995 KDZ.

If you absolutely can not get LG UP to recognize your phone, post a link to the KDZ that you want to flash, and I will create you a zip that you can flash in TWRP that will take you back to 100% stock.
I really don't want to see you brick your phone.

Thanks. really appreciate it. And I apologize for the late reply. New house. been painting all damn day. I know its way late now, so I understand if I missed my window for getting the zip file from you. Truth be told, I need to return the phone by noon tomorrow. And since its unrealistic (nor do i expect) that you are seeing this message immediately and have time to do the zip file tonight. Chances are, I wont be returning it and just have to throw it up on ebay and hope someone wants to buy a unlocked/rooted v20.
But to answer you...
I know it was on 10b when i first got it. now its showing 1CA.
Even when the comp does recognize it, LGUP gives me an error "cant load the model".
Does it matter what kdz file? 12A is pretty popular, it seems. here is a link for that https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/4889/VS99512A_06_1114_ARB00.kdz.
Turning it into a zip file. Flash in twrp and then what? Use fastboot to relock bootloader?

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.

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.

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.
Any solution to my problem? Just a little help...

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 voilà, 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!
So, I was trying to install a custom ROM on my G2 and screwed up. Now I have no recovery to boot into and can't access fastboot to flash a recovery (not even sure if its possible). I have tried to flash the stock android .kdz files using the LG Flash Tool, but haven't had any success in that area either. I'm not really sure to go from here.
If anyone has any ideas that I might go about fixing this mess, they would be most welcome.

Elaborate please. Why haven't you had any success? What have you tried? What problem(s) are you encountering?
Thus far I've been trying to load the stock ROM back onto the phone but haven't had any luck as the process keeps stopping at the software update stage. It either says the server can't connect or it fails at 2%. I have the phone driver and I'm pretty sure I have the right .kdz file.
Throughout all this the phone doesn't actually begin the 'update'. The phone is on the Firmware Update Screen and stays at 0%.
So I actually did manage to fix this in the end. Just screwed around with the files and flash tools till it eventually worked.
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.

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.
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Forums Pro.
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.

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.

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?
I have a ATT v20 and ive been trying to root and put TWRP on it but cant seem to get into the bootloader or recovery or download mode.
Tried typing adb reboot bootloader and it just restarts the phone pretty much. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
No bootloader stock. You have to go through this procedure

I tried too but cant seem to get it to boot into download mode

@t0xicdr3am What version of the firmware is on your phone? What happens when you have the phone powered off, hold vol up and plug in the USB cable?

The only things I've been able to get it to do is display two barcode thingy screen. I got it into recovery by typing adb reboot recovery and it displays an android guy with an exclamation mark but no options. Tried to upload a screenshot but tapatalk won't let me lol.

Okay so following that tutorial he posted.. I get up to about STEP2.BAT.. Tons of static screens and Im not sure if I messed up my phone for good or not..
My phone has the H915 firmware or whatever from the KDZ.. I dumped my system so Im not sure if that saves me or not?
Also have no cellular signal..
I try following that tutorial to the T but idk what im messing up
Could really use some help guys..
Pretty much stuck on the H915 KDZ I flashed with no cellular.. Following the steps on the H910 tutorial doesnt work.. I get to past Step 1 and either Step 2 messes up or it boots into step 3 and tells me fastboot isnt a valid command or something....
Okay so I got TWRP on it.. but when I try to do anything, its like it doesnt mount system.. I try to flash the system.zip and system.img and i get unable to mount system (unknown error 150)..
Then I go to reboot recovery and it says no OS installed.. So Im assuming when I flashed the system.img it erased the OS?
Now you need to do this part to complete
Now that you are in TWRP you need to do a couple of things:

I did.. I flashed the 10m zip and flashed the system.img.. made sure not to get any mount errors..
So it flashed successfully.. rebooted system and it gave me a kernel error im assuming so I held down volume down to restart as it said and now its on the LG screen.. waiting to see if boot time just takes longer or what not and Ill report back..
But shouldnt I have data and cellular? Im on Cricket which is apart of ATT and in his post after flashing the KDZ file.. it says I should but I dont..
At this point I really dont want any root or anything.. I just want to restore my phone to a working state with cellular as I have a young son and use my phone for work and my stupid ass shouldnt of been ****ing with it from the beginning lol.. If I can get back to 10m or stock or whatever and the modem works ill be happy..
I have a full dump from that one step.. Will that help me revert these changes back? How do I go abouts using the DUMP to restore?
Sorry.. never used a dump before.. If it'll even work
Okay so no luck.. maybe TWRP didnt give me an error but when I went to reinstall the files again because i waited 10 mins.. it gave me the unable to mount system unknown error 150.. any ideas?
If you have a Cricket H910 it may be different than an normal H910.
Did you take a dump of your firmware before rooting? It is an optional step, but I hope you did.

I did but have no idea how to restore it using the files it pushed onto my computer.. It isnt a cricket H910.. Its an ATT H910.
Side note, good morning Brian.. Been waiting for you lol
Is there anyway one of you guys can point me into the direction of using the DUMP to restore whatever I can?

When I go to flash the system.zip and .img it erases system completely and then I get the unable to mount system (unknown error 150)
Im pretty sure this all has to do with the encryption.. When I go to format data, it cant mount storage.. When I finally get it to format; and I flash the system.zip and .img i get the unable to mount system..
I dont even want root anymore.. I just want to know how to use my DUMP to fix my phone if its possible?
If it is an AT&T H910 then there is a thread, linked to in the post about rooting that will get you back to stock.
However, I warn you, if you can't make this work, then the chance of you restoring to stock are not good.
I can tell from the posts / PMs that you made, that you didn't read the entire post before trying to root.
You have asked questions that are answered right in the post.

Hello everyone!
To make my problem short I tried to update my LG G6 on Oreo but in the middle of update process phone shut down(I didn't know why-probably battery?) And after that phone is bootlooping and I tried to flash stock rom using uppercut and LGUP but without success I manage to start flash process and when it reaches about 50% phone just reboots and flash tool gives error message. Now phone is bricked. I don't now if there are any solutions. Any help is appreciated! Thank you guys! :fingers-crossed:
Keep on charging..
See some post how to enter in download mode (within fraction of second).. use LGUP and flash PROPER ROM..
(I see it was bootlooping.. that it must be charging)
Huge thanks for your reply, well I manage to get to download mode without problem, PC can detect phone as well and I can start flashing process, however with all firmwares I have found I cannot "refurbish" because "refurbished is not supported by that firmware" so I can only select upgrade in LG up. When I start process it goes all the way up to about 50% and phone just reboots back to download mode, after that LG UP moves a few % further reaching about 55% and gives error " invalid response code". I think if I can somehow use that refurbish option to clean flash stock rom , maybe that will be the fix. Thanks again.
I also forgot to mention that when I failed to install stock room with LG up my phone cannot escape download mode, when I force reboot it phone goes again directly to download mode. Probably because there is no OS installed?
Are you sure to using right firmwares for your model?
Thanks for reply. Pretty sure I did use good firmware I found links here on XDA forums and downloaded "H8710d_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0327.kdz" but if I somehow found .tot file would that make a difference and let me to use that "refurbish" option. Thanks everyone for help, very appreciated!

Hi Ray, can you provide me the link of the tot file? I have the same problem
Unfortunately, I think there are no tot files that support refurbish. But after I replaced motherboard regular kdz update flash worked perfectly. I haven't found solution to that problem.
I would suggest you to try your luck if you have unlocked bootloader and try to flash TWRP to get phone back.
