It's downloading!!! Thanks for the info!

well, i tried downloading and it failed? any extra steps to download? unroot or anything?

I was still rooted... Maybe the server's being swamped...

well it finished downloading. so i dont' know. tried doing unrooting with one click but not working so no im stuck. bootstrap or any app i need to uninstalled?
anyone extracting update.zip?

same here. i tried to install the update file but i reboot into clockworkmod recovery and it tells me i failed to update

Working good, now we'll need to divide the forum questions Before Froyo BF and After Froyo AF. No bugs yet, though flash doesn't quite match lip sync, not too sure if it's the site or not.

Worked great, tried flash and that works beautifully. Phone sure seems to be a bit smoother. I had rooted the phone and I unrooted it before performing the OTA update.

right now i'm thinking it's the clockworkmod, so i am re-installing the stock
if you go to rootzwiki's page, it should show you how to do, if that's your problem.

Well let me know if that method works for you .

Ok, my way worked. All you need to do, is to hard reset, reactivate your phone, and download ota update. It totally worked!

Noobie here..when you say hard set, what exactly do you mean. Do I need to unroot the phone first and then hardset, then go to (with verizon) *228 and ativate?

Well... I tried factory reset and reactivated.. still gets hung up and resets after its reboot to the recovery screen. Comes back with "update failed"
The only thing I had done at one time or another was Koush's Clockwork boot and root.
I had unrooted and uninstalled Kouch's stuff.. then factory reset and reinstalled, same thing. The update will download.. boots to recovery screen, get 1/4 way, error triangle, reboot, "update failed"..
Any ideas? Is there something from Koush's stuff that is hanging around, evern after an uninstall?
I'd really like to get the OTA update!!
Thanks!

Use SBF, you should be able to bring life back to your phone

Anyone know if I need to backup first? I haven't rooted it, I just have a couple dozen apps installed and don't want to lose my text messages and any other information.
Nevermind, I eventually figured out it saves your data.

Trying to get this update. I am rooted and am trying to complete the instruction from the first couple of posts. Setting/About Phone/System Updates
When I go to System update it tells me I have to hava a Motorola Account "System Update " is not available without a Motorola service account. Would you like to set up an account now?
When I choose setup it takes me to Setup Account menu. What account is it talking about? Anyone know?

Same here. I deleted pretty much anythig i could think of and still.nothing. maybe my framework? Anyone got a stock apk framework?
I did that one click root method an i tried doing the unroot and doesn't seem to work.

Seems like there are people that have just rooted that can get the update...
I had rooted at one point.. but also had the Koush bootloader on.. have recently uninistalled that.

Bricked after OTA..

My sprint LG G2 was boot looping into TWRT after I accepted an OTA.
I've read several posts, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595 and this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960,
the problem I get is I can not get into download mode, well, I did enter it, but it stuck at 0%, and my computer don't recognize it. Can not find the phone in "devices", installed the driver and still no avail. BTW, when I boot into TWRT, my computer can recognize the android device and ADB works then.
Since I cannot get past the download mode, I can not use the LG flash tool.. it says "LG USB/Parallel lock key is not detected".
Any suggestion is deeply appreciated.

I tried, use ADB while the phone is in TWRT, went through and restarted, still boot into TWRT.
The command line in TWRT will pop up an error message saying "not enough space", although I do have enough space. So it didn't work either.

Sounds like you just need to keep messing with it until you can get it to recognize it in download mode and go back to stock. What Windows version do you have? i had some issues with 8 but 7 worked fine.

Well, that Fix clear FOTA with zeros and it should end with "not enough space", this is normal.
I guess when your phone restarted into download mode and got stuck on 0%, it already overwrite maybe part of system partition, this is why only download or recovery works.
Did you made any nandroid backup before? If yes, restore at least boot & system from it. It should help, so you can boot normally. If you do not have any backup, well, maybe some other fellow Spring user can give u his boot & system backup files so you can restore them.

Did you try to reinstall the drivers or use a different cable?

I encountered the same issue last night. I reinstalled the Verizon united drivers and rebooted my machine. The next time that I connected the device in download mode, device manager picked up the device. I had to re-run the LG tool, but it eventually progressed past 0% and my issue was fixed. You can reinstall the verizon drivers using the following link.
http://wacomalt.com/dropbox/LGG2/StockRevert/LG VZW_United_WHQL_v2.11.1.exe

I'm having the same issues with D802b after doing the 60mb OTA update. My phone didn't get a chance to actually do the download as on first restart it just went straight into TWRP and I haven't been able to get back since.
It's just looping back into TWRP each time. I've now completely wiped all parts of the phone including the internal SD card, I've even re-installed a new kernel and rom (The custom one I was using before this happened, from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2505682) from an attached USB (sd card reader) with successful installs through TWRP (including wiping cache etc), still reboots into TWRP on restart. I've also done a hard reset that was supposedly successful, still boots into TWRP.
Same as the OP, it won't 'install itself' properly in windows while in TWRP mode or in 'Software Download' mode (turn on with up and down buttons pressed down and plug data cable in). I've tried in vain to hunt down a specific D802 inf as pointing it at the universal driver didn't detect either.
I have installed the Android SDK, LG Suite, LG Universal drivers. I've then tried the B2CAppSetup (which works, but won't detect the device). I've then tried the FlashTool 1.0.54 and it gets all the way through but can't communicate with the device.
The only thing I haven't managed to do yet is to decompress the official kdz into a zip so I can flash it through TWRP. Haven't had much luck with LGExtract as of yet.
Rather baffled actually, as I'm sure the OP is.
Any thoughts?

I tried that method many times and it does not work on the Sprint version. If you read through the thread you'll noticed that others with Sprint devices can not get that method to work.
The only method that worked for me was to use the LG Flash tool and flash the Sprint tot file and follow the instructions for the Verizion method for going back to stock.

Not really sure if this would've solve your problem but here's my possible theory to why you couldn't get it to work:
I was in the same situation. Took the OTA update and was boot looping into TWRP. Just like you, nothing in TWRP would fix it. I think you probably panicked and rush through the instructions and forgot some important steps. Make sure you did not install the Verizon driver by accident because that will cause problems with your Sprint phone not being properly detected by your computer. I did panicked and started to try to many things and somehow got a copy of the Verizon driver and installed it. ADB was able to see my phone but when I tried to sideload something through TWRP it would generate an error. I found out that I had both drivers(LG USB driver and the Verizon USB driver) installed and after removing the Verizon USB driver my computer was able to detect my phone properly. It's really important that after making any changes or installations of drivers you will need to reboot your PC to get the new changes to take effect.
You got the "LG USB/Parallel lock key is not detected" error is because you forgot to copy and overwrite the "MegaLock.dll" that's located at "C:\LG\LGFlashTool" directory.
To get into download mode you just need to press the +volume button only(do not hold or press the power button) and plug in the USB cable that's attached to your computer and Download Mode should come on. It will stay on 0% until the LG Flash tool flashes the Sprint stock rom onto the phone.
Once I got the phone to come up in Download Mode I had to go into Device Manager and find the device and then change the COM port to COM 41 then everything went smoothly as the instruction indicated. If you were not able to change the COM to COM 41 then it will never work.
If you're not sure that you have all the files then this is where I got mine from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2486738&page=7
or

nexus 7 troubles... no Google play (plus more)

So I have a problem that I will try explain as best as possible. I have a first gen nexus 7 that I successfully rooted a while back. I decided that I didnt want it rooted and tried to unroot it. Now when I turn the device on, the Cyanogenmod loop still comes up and when it gets to android, the play icon is gone,a nd I have no way to install apps. I downloaded the nexus 7 toolkit to try completely unroot it, but the app doesnt seem to see my device. I booted into recovery mode, but still isnt recognized. No matter what I choose, whether it be Start, restart bootloader, or recovery mode, the device will just restart and hang on the Google logo.
Any help is appreciated

So it will boot into cm but no plays tore? Flash the right gaps and then you should be fine. As for the other issue you need someone with more wisdom than me.

it boots into CM and the tablet works (mostly) fine... wifi works, all the buttons work, etc.... but the one main thing ive noticed is that play is gone and I have no way to install apps. And as i stated originally when I try to flash it back to stock, the windows app I use says the device isnt in the right mode....

You did flag a custom Android OS, aka Cyanogenmod. Cyanogenmod doesn't contain Google Applications -> you need to flash Google Applications separately if you want to use them ...

hi

[Q] Can't seem to access Recovery Mode

I've been working at finding a solution to this for a few days now but with no success.
I successfully rooted my phone (verizon LGG2). I wanted to install Cyanogenmod, so I looked up a Youtube video which instructed installing Flashify and flashing to a different recovery.
Well, all that seems to have done is keep me from accessing recovery mode in any way. Trying to use the Clockwork app to reboot into recovery leads to a black screen. Manually booting into it asks to delete all files, pressing power 3 times (which would normally do a factory reset but otherwise boots into CW recovery, from what I understand) does the same thing, and leaves all the data on my phone untouched when I manually turn it off and allow it to turn on again.
Possibly of interest is that I can still access Download Mode, and aside from recovery seeming to be nonexistent, the phone runs fine. In addition, plugging the phone into the computer and requesting adb devices in command prompt also works.
Trying to access recovery mode while plugged into a computer causes a ton of individual drives to come up with all of them having to be "formatted before they can be used".
The heck have I done and how do I fix it? I just want my cyanogenmod, dang it!

LG L5 e610v exit emergency download mode?

Hey guys,
I would appreciate a little help here cause I am about to throw my bricked L5 into the sea........
After a lot of tries I have rooted my e610v and ported V20 bb and CM10.1. Though, the google apps kept crashing no matter how many times I re-installed the firmware and the gapps-signed.zip
So, I did the mistake to put it into emergency download progress and now I am stuck there like....forever
I ve tried everything. Hard resets, cold reboots, everytime the phone starts again it shows "download in progress do not disconnect cable". I've tried any possible key combination found in the internet but nothing seems to get me out of there.
I ve also tried to change firmware back to a V20 rooted with CWM or a stock V20 rom with KDZ FW Updater but I get an update error wparams=500, lparams=100
I dont know what else to do, KDZ updater doesnt work maybe because I am trying to downgrade from CM 10.1 to CM 10 ?????
Any help would be much appreciated!
thnx

are you using a windows based pc? If so, go to your pc to advanced options and find modems and disable LG mobile modem, reboot your pc then open kdz and run windows enabler. Set kdz to DIAG. Remove the battery from your phone.
Then hold vol - and connect your phone to your pc.
Now flash the original LG frameware for your device. Let finish.
KDZ will crash after it finishes update.
That is normal.
The lg logo will appear on your device and you may get stuck in a boot loop.
Just disconnect your device.
Dont put the battery back in yet. Just hold vol - and home button and connect your usb cable again. The device should factory reset and boot normally.
a nother way to a successful factory reset. Turn on your device with your battery inserted. Remove the back of your phone.
Turn on your device. Then hold vol- and just remove the bottom of your battery. When the screen turns off quickly put the battery back in. Keep holding vol - when menu lights up press and hold home key.
The phone will eventually enter recovery. Or recovery mode.

firstly id like to thank u very very much for your reply!!
ok now some qs...
1st of all, some things have changed since the last time i did the first post, in the meantime Ive uninstalled and reinstalled the adb universal drivers, the lg modem in device manager keeps showing up as disabled everytime I connect to my pc and I get a USB Composite device which seems like my LG phone (im running windows 7).
Since I reinstalled adb universal drivers the KDZ gives me a new error, PHONE WAS NOT FOUND!
2nd my phone status is bootloader v2, it was rooted and I had ported cm 10.1 right before it died! also Im not sure if last time it was unbricked if I had Usb debugging enabled and I cant change it now with my phone bricked.
3rd I cant find windows enabler. was it inside the kdz folder? I could only find msxml. also by saying stock firmware I assume you refer to V20G_00.kdz found on lg-phone-firmware.com, right?
4th as I havent managed to do anything differently as Ive done millions times, at that step flashing I dont think flashing will work now! Ive also tried your methods for factory reset and the method described last for entering recovery but nothing worked
thanks a lot again!

if you can enter download mode its ok.
Find a new kdz file with windows enabler. Yes it should be in kdz folder. Reinstall xsml. disable lgmobile modem on your pc and reboot. Then run window enabler and use my first instruction. Yes i mean the original v20 frameware from LG
when in download mode usb debbuging and if your phone is rooted or not and how many times you used kdz or what rom you were running is irrelevant.
As long as your phone enters download mode it can be restored

no, dont toss it in the river. Try to turn the modem on reboot your pc and re try.
Make sure that your battery is not in your phone when in download mode.
Your device will be found eventually.

it works. Something may be blocking your connection to the pc. Btw i didnt use the original LG cable. I used a cable from htc one. i did have the same phone not found problem.
But is different every time. I wish i could take a look at your device personally. Its a hard for me to figure out whats wrong like this.

Hey Nesh, two last questions!
first of all, the modem drivers are missing and I have disabled the modem. should I search for them (probably I have to install the LGModem firmware exe file)
also my computer does not detect the phone via adb.exe when I run adb devices. this clearly shows that it is a connection problem? shouldnt I be able to see the phone through adb before proceeding with the kdz updater
thanks a lot :good:

first of all, the modem drivers are missing and I have disabled the modem. should I search for them (probably I have to install the LGModem firmware exe file)
also my computer does not detect the phone via adb.exe when I run adb devices. this clearly shows that it is a connection problem? shouldnt I be able to see the phone through adb before proceeding with the kdz updater
thanks a lot :good:

wwwwwWWOOOW!!! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::highfive:
after months of trying my phone and the usb drivers got enlightened by the easter spirit apparently and they found common ground.
this is what I did:
I used a new PC Windows XP based
Uninstalled completely every single android driver on my computer (I did that already before) - I was using Universal Adb drivers because this made FWUpdater to work last time. I first uninstalled the devices from the device manager and afterwards from the uninstall programs.
I spotted that the LG mobile modem driver was not installed.
Downloaded official drivers from LG site, specifically for my mobile.
connected my computer, let the drivers find communications and install phone as USB Composite device & modem as LGE Modem.
Disabled the LG Modem from device manager
Restart the PC
(I already had MSXML SP3 installed)
Disable antivirus
Run Windows enabler
Run KDZ_FW_UPD and patch the firmware :laugh:
the proccess hasnt finished yet but I dont think there will be a problem as this will most definately get me out of emergency download mode so I can install anything I want from the SDCard - I swear to god I will not mess again with usb drivers, ADB and KDZ FW Updater :fingers-crossed:

yeap, its all good right now! I d like to thank u one more time for the tips and the courage u gave me, hah
im running CM10.1 now. I tried to flash CM11 first, but it failed.
-sorry for going offtopic, but as someone with experience on the E610, would you recommend flashing CM11 beta 4 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7/development/l5-cyanogenmod-11-t3042615) ? Will it slow down, my phone-battery drain and have any more issues? whats ur opinion on that?

cm 11 is recommended, cm11 sbp rom project and sbp caynhacker also. You can also flash the L speed mod by @Paget96 for better performance and battery life. I run my e610 on sbp rom project cm10 it is a really good rom.
And im glad i could help

I am running CM10.1 for some days now and I wouldnt say I am satisfied from the phone's speed after restoring my old apps+data from the Titanium Backup. (about 45 apps I'd say), although I've created partitions, swap etc.
I know that lots of apps make the phone run slow, but most of them are needed + I dont think they run on the background, so I cant understand the speed decrease...
Do you think flashing the CM11 and the Lspeed mod would make things run smoother and faster? :/ or should I switch back to CM10 ?

L Speed mod is recommended for all devices and all roms, you just need to find the correct settings for your specific rom and device.
CM11 is smoother then CM10.
cm11 sometimes has bugs, cm10 does not. My recommendation is to try both cm10 and cm11 and flash the L Speed mod and try to find your optimal settings

can you recommend the optimal settings for L speed mod??
I have these shown in the picture bellow right now, I changed them a bit from the default, I also run battery calibration, but I still have some problems:
first of all there is a battery drain which is pretty bad, sometimes battery gets very low without even using the phone.
also my phone is really slow when using some apps, specially with multitasking. at first when I didnt install all the apps I am using it was really fast and stable, now even though I tried not to install so many apps, I am having a serious problems as phone lags so much, and many times I have to restart it.
I think that not having enough RAM is the problem of that, can you give any advice on that?
** edit: I have partitioned my card and also have swap. is there any chance my sd is slow and its slowing down the entire phone? :/ I have a Kingston SDHC 8gb

well every thing depends on the rom you using, i keep my settings at default. And im on cm10. My ram is always maxed out but when i use LS all i do is boost memory. Theres always a little lag. But my device works pretty well. No i dont think sd card is the issue. My battery darin is high to when i actively use my device. In deep sleep battery hardly drains. Your battery problem may be the battery it self, Samsung devices have a battery issue. The bat needs to be changed every 6 months. Iv bin using mine tow years now. But its still working well.
