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!
