Hi guy's
I have a few questions I'm really hoping someone could help or point me in the right direction..
I have looked for answers for a couple of days now when I had some free time but haven't found anything.
1. My brother's GT5-40 OPTIMUS is stuck on the android screen. Prior to it happening it was sitting idle. Would a hard reset fix this?
2. He would like to upgrade from 2.1 to maybe GB is it possible? And where can I find the correct thread to do this?
3. Is there anything I can do to optimize battery power?
I hate to annoy everyone with my questions but I'm new to this kind of thing I've only just started flashing my xu and exploring these things so don't have much to go on and would be grateful for any help at all.
Thanks for looking.

you don't provide much info , but first, can you get phone connected to pc ? (example in download mode)
if you can then flash from kdz update is possible. (use this tutorial : link , if no go then try different phonemodes in kdz updater)
Hi
I can get into download mode but nothing else. I tried to flash in kdz bit didn't work for me all the modems seem to sit idle. What other info would be helpful? Sorry I'm in unknown territory with this.
Sent from my ST25a using xda app-developers app
It's been over a year since I've used KDZ, but if not mistaken you have to use fastboot (power on while holding camera) with KDZ. If you can get into fb mode you can try to get KDZ to work. If the modems remain idle you may need to reinstall drivers. If you can get to fastboot you can resolve your problem. G'luck
Hi
Can't get into fb mode I did try a few times. I guess I've hit a wall with this.

fb is not visible , it apperas as black screen ,, but you can confirm that with cable connected to usb (in androidsdk : "fastboot devices" )
also, try that method : unplug usb from phone,power off device (eg. battery out, to be sure), put kdz updater ready, and then plug usb cable and immedetly start kdz updateing... (i remember, i've had same problem and then somehow i've got it working with that method)
also try several times.
also, i cant understand why kdz updater doesn't work in download mode , are you sure that u have all drivers installed correctly ? tried several modes in kdz updater ? (cs_emurdiance and etc.)

I'll give it a try and report back. I really appreciate this. Kdz didn't seem to work I will double check all the drivers etc and see if I've missed something.
Sent from my ST25a using xda app-developers app
So I tried fb mode, nothing like what you describe happens when I attempt to get into fb mode. I double check that all kdz drivers were there -one was missing so when I got that I was intact able to flash the phone, but it made no difference, I get the LG logo on start up then it goes to the android screen and no further. When I try fb mode following your instructions I get the boot up as described above, I tried it a few times but always the same result.

Enter the download mode (volume - and power button)and flash the official rom(should be in 7z format)

See if the device has fastboot on it, try Volume Up+Search+Power or Volume up+Camera+Power (Let go of power when powered up and let go of other buttons when in black screen or if it says 'Fastboot Mode').
You need to install the drivers, look on google.
If there is no fastboot then your only luck is Hyper Terminal and KDZ Updater. (KDZ Updater for flashing and Hyper Terminal for wiping (That is why the device will not boot))
And of course you need to be in download mode (VolDown+Power)

Hyperterminal?? Still having no luck with kdz, I can flash stuff on the phone but it makes little or no difference as it still ends up on the android splash screen.

Yes Hyperterminal, you have to use it to wipe the data has KDZ does not help with it.

Right so use hyperterminal yo wipe the data then go ahead with the rest of it. I will try this method and see what happens, the only other thing is that I can't get into fast boot mode at all, I have tried lots of times and nothing happens, can I safely do this in download mode?

My phone was great until I tried flashing the hellfire ROM. It told me that it couldnt flash bc it was D801 and not G2. Idk what it meant bc all other D801 ROMS flashed successfully. Anyway I tried to factory reset after that and it says it cant mount data or something like that. Now I only get the LG screen. When I try to go into download mode to flash the correct kdz file in flash tool to reset the entire thing back to stock it stays on the screen that says download mode and has the blue dots. And when I try to run the program through windows and the flash tool it tells me that the phone isn't connected to the PC. Can anybody please help me? Oh and I have TWRP recovery installed but all my backups are gone all of a sudden,.I can't do anything with this phone....!!! Thanks to anyone who can help.

Of you search up stock ROM for the lg g2 you should find something that has d801 stock firmware you would see d8010c or something like that find it and read up on it.

If your using windows make sure you run terminal from with ABD shell folder or it won't give you the ABD commnads.
Same problem
I have exactly the same problem please help!!!
someone help please, me too have the same issue please.
Just boot into twrp and select install zip from sideload. Connect the phone to pc. Go to your adb folder and type
adb sideload .zip*(for example:adb sideload update.zip)
Be patient, you got to wait until adb has copied your zip to the phone. Then the actual flashing will start. So leave the phone untouched for like 15minutes and wait till it's done.
This way you can flash the phone in a working state and then kdz again.
Don't forget to wipe all before flashing and factory reset afterwards.

Ok so i just bought a new lg g2 d801.
I unlocked it succesfully, then went on to root it succesfully using ioroot.
Then I tried installing twrp using freegee and it didnt work giving me comparable results to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50501346&postcount=867
so I went on to install it manually from terminal emulator (I installed the rogers version as suggested by another user here as this is exactly my situation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50502408&postcount=869
I followed this method for the code in terminal emulator:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfilename.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
replacing "recoveryfilename" to the name of the rogers .img.
Now the phone just boots normally into the stock interface but it is all glitchy, no wifi, computer doesnt recognize it and then within about 1 minutes it boots into the lg logo with the "turning on" sound randomly and keeps doing that.
adb devices gives nothing. I cant browse the contents of it but it does seem to be interacting with the computer since it is saying "driver updating... etc."
Ahhhh not too sure what to do from here.
If anyone can guide me I will be infinitely grateful, so discouraged right now.
I just want to bring it back to stock, nothing valuable at all on it, I have had it for 4 hours.
U can do a factory reset and see how it goes. Go to settings > general> backup and reset> factory reset.
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I cant access any settings.
Just says: Error
In a little black box. I can browse the menus but cant actually enter into the specific settings areas.
I did factory reset from twrp which is accesible, didnt help.
Thank you though, I would love more ideas!
In that case u should flash stock rom using a computer. Go through this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

Just recovery I think... I just let the lg mobile support tool do its thing
It was in the usb download mode.
Now I am planning on attempting what you linked. Only problem is that the flash tool links are not up to date and I cant fidn where to download it.

I am actually going slowly insane right now.

I followed the procedure exactly as detailed, when I press "upgrade start" I get this:
Please install CSMG B2C Client Tool" "Select tool ->B2C Client setup
Absolutely discouraging. I wish I could just talk with someone right about now. I am making no progress.
Phone keeps turning on all the way through til the homepage then off again. I actually cant keep it off. It turns on by itself.
adb devices is now recognizing it but it says "offline"
Ideas? Recommendations?
I really appreciate everything so far
Did u run that update tool before running the flash tool?

Thanks cccho. looking into this now looks like it could very well work.

Much love to all who helped.
Hopefully this works.:good:
Actually I have a question... In your link they are using .tot files. I have only ever seen .kdz files for this purpose... Am I safe to follow the procedure with a stock .kdz file?

Ok so I have managed to succesfully reinstall the original exact videotron firmware that the phone was running just one day ago.
There is something else going on. Its still rebooting every 10 seconds, whenever there is a text input prompt the cursor goes when I press within the box but the keyboard never appears. Wifi is non functional. Imei is saying "null" now whichI find extremely worrying...
Anybody heard of this before? I would really love to understand what is happening to this seemingly incredibly fragile phone.
Im about ready to toss it in the trash.
It seems like it has a virus or something.
Every now and then during the short glimpses of functioning it undergoes, there is a small grey box that appears near the bottom that says error.
It is not recognising my sim card either.
Please somebody help me out, I am willing to pay for help at this point.
Much love,
Zach
Also, I can never close/lock the screen. If I close it, its a guaranteed reboot. Every signle time. so for the phone to work screen has to stay on. 24 hours ago it was showing absolutely no signs of any of this
Hi friends have tried all the tutorials to get my d800 Lg g2 a brick but none works because my computer does not go into dowload mode gets stuck in the part that says "dowload mode" but did not get off to the screen firmware update.
excuse my English
You need to first download the kdz and lg flash utility with drivers.
Install drivers
The factory reset deleting system, cache, internal sd.
Then shutdown your g2.
Start to downloaded mode connecting your g2
Flash kdz & voila... Done
I too bricked my phone before. My flashing stuck at 49%. Recovered using above method, all is well now
This works 1000%. I bet on it. Just remember to wipe the phone completely before flashing. You will return to stock with unrooted status in download mode. U will have your warranty back too

I ended up using this method to unbrick. I can now boot to recovery mode, however, twrp is unresponsive or the touch itself is just off, as in I'll click something, and itll click another thing. I cant swipe to do anything, etc. If the screen goes off, a giant twrp lock pops up asking me to swipe, and I cant really swipe, it's just frozen. For reference, I used this method Link
Any ideas? You guys have been awesome so far, btw. Totally gonna donate if my phone gets back on, regardless .

I think its stuck, I minds well go and sell it -_-.
