I know a few have issues getting to download mode.
I did this, with power off press and hold vol-up and vol-down, then plug in usb cable . Don't press the power button.
By the way worked great on Windows 8.1, 64bit.
Just ignore the Connection to server failed window during the flash process which is after the extraction process, but don't close that window or it will stop the flash.

where do I put tot and dll files?
E980 US Boston
I have the 20g tot file.
was on 20h but I flashed a lokified recovery on a nonfreegee (didn't work)'ed phone. So all I get is error on boot - config error
It runs through LG FLASH TOOL 2014 using rc.kdz but says
failed to uncompress necessary files.
and nowhere does it ask me for the tot file.
THANKS!

Please go back and reread the OP.. There's two different flashing methods. One is for kdz and the other tot. Your using the wrong method.
Thanks for quick reply! I see no kdz for USA - lots for other countries, which should I use? Thanks. I already had that 20g tot file. Now reading the rest of method2...
YES!!! $20 headed your way. A small price for way to re-stock phone - something I have always needed in the past!!!
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!! :highfive: :highfive: :highfive: :highfive:
Your very welcome
. And thank you so much! LG is such a pain sadly compared to Sony and Samsung.
Your very welcome
You're welcome. I've worked with phones long enough to realize the value of flashing stock and starting over.
This LGOGP is new to me today - easy to root, but freegee doesn't work, but no biggie as I will play with stock until that gets fixed! LOL! Every phone seems a pain when it's new, but this one was easy, thanks to you! THANKS!
Your welcome
. I currently now own the Xperia Z2 and its been the most easyist phone I've ever went back to stock. Installed 1 thing and 10min later its back. LG requires a little work.
Your welcome
Yeah, people seem to like Sonys. I am used to about 40 min build when flashing a new rom on the Atrix HD, and this looks to be the same (TiBkpPro). only caveat is i can't backup/restore without a non lokified recovery - but I'd better wait for a fix to freegee cause that's supposed to do it all. But meantime i'm a happy camper!

133This is a 2 in one Guide!
1.For If you have the International Variant F240S, F240L, E986, E988, E989, ETC to flash back to stock in case of brick of it you just want to be back to the phone was when you first got it
2.And also this Same Guide can be used to Flash the Telcel E980h Firmware on the AT&T E980, The Advantage to do that is its more close to stock than the AT&T firmware, No stupid 4G/4G LTE AT&T Data Icons, They will now be 3G/H/4G/LTE the stock icons!, and Tethering should work perfect with no modding. Seems to run a lot smoother and better than the AT&T Firmware as well!
3. This Guide Can now be used to Flash TOT files as I have now included it
I`m not responsible for any mess ups! Be sure you back up your EFS to just be safe!, If your flashing what is supposed to be on your phone then you should be fine and wont have too.
I AM AWARE about my links, I`m currently working on my server and it will be back shortly... If your looking for the AT&T E980 KitKat TOT here it is:

Normal Flash: Flash ROM without losing any data. Only use this when you need to fix system error. Beware of boot loop when flashing ROM that differ from current ROM on your phone or MOD ROM.
CSE Flash: Choose this option when you need a fresh format. All data will be gone. It's suitable for upgrading or downgrading ROM or simply use this when you need to back to Stock.
No need to choose desired language, it automatically change to English as a default setting.
Wait until 100% to complete !
REMEMBER if you get Bootlooping after flashing perform a factory hard reset!

4.4.2 KitKat - BIN_LGE980AT-00-V20g-ATT-US-APR-28-2014_0.zip - 1790.9 Mb
DLL File: http://boxhost.co.uk/9ch9o24q2cf2/LGE980_20130314_LGFLASHv151.dll.html3So far this has ONLY been tested on the AT&T LG-E980 but may work on others! Root and CWM is NOT required for this!
I`m not responsible for any mess ups! Be sure you back up your EFS to just be safe!
Tommrow : Aug 26th I`ll be back home and can test more International roms but so far it seems that the Telcel Stock Rom will be the best one for the people who have the AT&T E980 as it a FULLY English Rom! Telcel is a cell phone carrier in Mexico which carries a LG-E980H which is pretty much the same as our E980!
How To Guide:
How to flash ROM:
1) Download the Rom You Want! (Currently Just the Telcel) (unless someone wants to test another one)
ROM Download is at the Bottom of the Guide
2) Download LG mobile support tool and Install it. (It will open up when its done just CLOSE IT OFF)
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/client/app/B2CAppSetup.exe
3) Download / Install FlashTool (R&D Test Tool)
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+Optimus+G+Pro/Programs/
4) Install LG drivers (can skip if you already installed)
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+Optimus+G+Pro/Programs/
5) Power off your G pro, press Volume Up + Volume Dn keys and then plus-in the usb cable (enter to a download mode)
6) Extract FlashTool and run UpTestEX.exe
7) In R&D Test Tool window,
Select Type = 3GQCT (top left hand side)
PhoneMode = DIAG (top right hand side)
Select kdz file = click to select your LG stock rom *.kdz
Click "Normal web upgrade test" (bottom right hand side)
Then another window "read phone information" pop up, click "Upgrade Start" button
wait a few seconds, another window "Select Country & Language" pop up,
=> Country=Republic of Korea
=> Language=English
you can click ok to proceed
8) All Done and wait for finish!
9) Be Sure that after flashing to perform a reset as for some reason flashing this does not remove what was there before until you reset.

Telcel E980H: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+Optimus+G+Pro/Stock/Telcel+E980h/
Here is a link to the rest of the Roms, Which I HAVE NO TRIED YET SO BE WARNED! :
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+Optimus+G+Pro/Stock/
Telcel Rom Currently Is the Best for USA users, It does have Telcel stuff but its more stock international as it has no rom modifications like AT&T does to Tethering and Data Icons at the top and locking settings as Telcel does not!
Just a Note: I do not care for the modifed theme on the launcher but I think it can be fixed by either using a different included them or just load the optimus theme from the AT&T Version or Korean Version and it should look better Its just a personal preference
Also Tethering should work with no issue tethering plan or not on the rom as well!
To Get Data to work you will need to input the APN of your carrier. Also for the AT&T E980 if you want to here is the download link to the baseband which is recomended but not fully required and in which you would need to root and install CWM after flashing this to be able to flash the baseband, Download Link: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+Optimus+G+Pro/Modems/AT&T+E980+Baseband/
ScreenShots:
Dude this is amazing. Mad crazy roms are coming now. Thanks2
1.Panama rom does have less bloat but not by much. Its not worth flashing just for that (imho) If you want tether though I would say that one is your best bet if your in the U.S.
2. As of 2 days ago freegee still would not work with the 980h rom (the one we are talking about) Myself and several others have uploaded to try and get this rom listed but so far nothing.
3. Dont know about that rom but the easiest is to disable all the ATT crap with the stock rom. The next step would be to go ahead and root the stock and then install a better freeze
/uninstall app from the market. There are 3 really good ones that I know of that will fully uninstall att and lg factory apps if you are rooted. Then adjust your ram clear period and process kill control in task manager/menu/settings
I just came back to stock and have done everything above. I run with 990 mb free in ram most of the time and very little space taken up in storage. Its funny I have a 16 gb class 10 sd card in mine and never use it except as yet one more back up for pics..lol im backed up to two clouds, a computer, and a phone already
I found this guide to be the most clear if or when you go back to stock (follow every single instruction carefully)
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2302660
I found the guide here in this thread the best for going to the 980h though. It went fairly smooth as long as you have a win 7 machine.
