LG G2 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock)
- Thread starter hyelton
- Start date
do you mean when you power off and hold volume down and again after screen comes on ? i did that like 7 times , if you go into the play store and search up force media scanner and you see a blk tuxedo thats the app that broke my device . im gonna buy a new g2 mabe international this time but im still interested in fixing my d801
Yes i do. I'm sorry but i have no idea, instead to buy a new device send back this to LG,i think is cheaper.
OP, thank you so much for the instructions for going back to stock. I am a Sprint customer and followed your instructions exactly. Was able to get a used G2 I purchased totally back to stock and then it immediately upgraded successively to ZV8 and then to ZVA. Your process worked without problems and I now have a fully functional clean G2. Only problem I had was the time it took download the stock rom. It took almost 3 hours. Thanks for your work.
Your welcome
be sure when downloading anything larger than a GB use a download manager. My server is on a 2GB port so it has plenty of bandwitdh to go around lol. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

There's no fix. Only 2 things is reset and make sure it shows the exact same phone and model as the phone and firmware are. You must be running the firmware that came with the phone / carrier unlike with Samsung devices. The resetting worked for me on both the g2 and g pro.

what came with the phone was the 10d. i have done this many times with success and now it just doesnt work. i can confirm without question that this method works but does not let you update. there for it is no longer a factory reset. it damages the phone once you are rooted and rom'd. gonna try and trade my G2 for a nexus 5 or just buy another phone cause this phone i am starting not to like already. it was cool 3 weeks ago,but,the hype is over and i am over this phone.
Hi Hyelton,
What's the correct volume and power key combo for the korean versions to reset the phone. Thanks.

1.Network connection error is NORMAL, move the window over and you'll see its actually most likely flashing
2.If your getting errors when doing the kdz method and running a custom rom that could be the problem and you'll need to use the TOT method.
3. Getting connection errors? Check under device manager to make sure you see LG something related under communication ports (Windows 8/10 ports might be hidden)
Make sure your using a USB 2.0 port!! USB 3.0 will NOT work.

3.Install Flashtool (Don’t run it yet)
4.Extract the TOT file from the Zip
5.Copy MegaLock.dll file to C:\LG\LGFlashtool (This might be a hidden folder so enable "hidden folders". Replace the old MegaLock.dll file)
6.Power off your Device & or pull battery (G3),(G Pro),(G Flex)

8.Open up Device Manger on your PC

15. Should take anywhere between 4-8 Minutes, When its done your phone should reboot
Do NOT Close the FlashTool Window during firmware update.
99% of the time FlashTool will FAIL after 85% anything after 85% is just your phone rebooting so your safe

Remember if you have bootloop or stuck on LG Logo after flashing make sure you FACTORY RESET!

Thanks to @shakeyabooti for LGUP!
Download LGUP from HERE
Install the file with the DLL name in them first and then LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3 Then copy the folder "common" to C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model (this should resolve unknown error)
Make sure you have downloaded the required KDZ file MM or LP
Open LGUP on your computer "make sure your phone is plugged in"
ARE YOU HAVING TROUBLE WITH LGUP NOT SEEING YOUR MOBILE?
Try this....... take the back off your mobile so you can get at the battery. Connect your mobile via USB. Start LGUP, if it does not see your phone DO NOT DISCONNECT, DO NOT RESTART OR TURN OFF LGUP. Take out the battery and then put it back in.......let the phone restart on its own. LGUP should now see it.
LG Drivers: in First post
TO DO A FULL WIPE AND INSTALL MM - Open the LGUP on your computer. FILE PATH point it towards the MM KDZ.
IMPORTANT!!!!!!! shut down LGUP!
Now open LGUP again - you will notice that the MM KDZ will still be showing in the FILE PATH section. Select REFURBISH and make sure BIN file is ticked. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient
TO GO BACK TO LP FROM MM - Open LGUP on your computer, click on FILE PATH and point it towards your LP KDZ. Close LGUP and re-open LGUP. Make sure you select REFURBISH this will do a FULL wipe, tick BIN file. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient
