Hi,
I've just bought my new LG G2, and i want to mess a little bit around with it. But before i'm gathering up stock files in case of emergency.
I have D80210E_ESA_XX soft right now, had update after phone booted first time, so i'm not sure what was base version.
But the question is, where i can download stock KDZ for ESA?
-----------------------EDIT-----------------------
Ok, with use of LG Mobile Support Tool if You choose the option with rescue software restore it starts downloading stock KDZ.
It puts it in C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone, and after it finishes You are able to backup it.
But i'm not sure if it's correct one for UNROOT purpose correct.

I have a Verizon LG G2 (VS980), and I want to get completely back to stock 11a so I can take the OTA up to 12b and update the entire firmware (not just the radio). Problem seems to be that all of LG's proprietary tools which utilize TOT and KDZ files are built for Windows, and I only have a Mac. Is there a way to get completely back to stock on a Mac? I'm sure other people have experienced this problem, I'm just relatively new to this phone, and don't know which tools I need to get the job done.
So it all started today when I tried to flash Cloudy G3, it didn't work, it soft bricked I restored backup, all good. After this, my phone started acting weird by powering up again after I powered it off, not opening Quick Remote and saying SIM is not ready. So I decided to give Clopudy G3 a try once more but I needed TWRP, I installed the TWRP i needed but I got error status 7 so I used flashify which was recommended to me. Well I flashed TWRP using flashify and, now when I try to get into recovery mode it enters fastboot mode and stays there. I figure the solution to this is going back to stock, and I found that the best method is from a dude called Hyleton in XDA But that falishify thing left me without a download mode! No recovery, no download... is there even a fix for this?. Now my phone is the international version (D802) but this guy has trillions of firmaware for lots of different D802s and I don't know which one to download and use! I downloaded the one in the folder that says "D802 tot" and selected the 32GB one. Can somebode PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HELP ME, my knowledge on rooting is pretty basic, and a lot of the things in that thread, like for example the word "TOT" I don't understand! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476&highlight=d802
Now can somebody please explain this guide to me? I am wanting to do the second method (the TOT method). I would really appreciate this, REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
well
I wont be much help, but maybe i can simplify for people who come accross this thread. Ive read it a few times and im quite confused.
You said you flashed cloudyG3, had problems, then went back to stock.
What recovery did you use to backup, restore, and flash cloudy g3?
No i want to flash stock, after trying to flash Cloudy G3 I used flashify to flash TWRP and it went nuts and and now my phone is working strangely. I'm currently trying to go back to stock in the hope that it'll fix my problems and I'm using Hyleton's guide, as I have no download mode I'm gonna use a .kdz file but in his guide there's lots of KDZ files and I don't know which one to use! Any idea on that? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 here's the thread and if you look at the stock firmware files you'll see there's tonnes of .kdz for the D802, could you help me find the correct one for my phone? My phone is simply D802, no other letters like the ones in that list have (which confuses me as to which file I have to use to flash stock) and I bought in the US, but I live in Argentina....
Right guys I'm relatively new to the G2 scene.. 2 quick questions i've read somewhere that you can't do an over the air update on your g2 otherwise you go into a boot loop via di cyanogenmod updater and i was just curious to see if this is true as i've been getting really bad battery drain recently and i want to update to the latest nightly.
Question 2 if this doesn't happen to fix my recent battery drain problems how easy would it be to return to stock firmware i've read up on it and it seems quite confusing and i was wondering if there is an easier method or if it's just a simple as plugging it into your pc on updating via lg software.
Thank you for taking your time for reading this and i hope you guys have some answers for me

Official Over the Air updates (the ones released from Google) are bad if you have a Custom Recovery installed such as TWRP or CWM. You never want to take an Official OTA if you have either of those installed. But if you're just talking about updating your CyanogenMod build, that should be fine. For more information about updating CyanogenMod visit http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Updating. You can always manually update instead of using the inbuilt updater. Just download the new NIGHTLY and flash it via recovery, see #Updating_Manually.

Returning to stock is one of the most easiest things to do. Follow the Return to Stock guide. Basically you download your .KDZ file for your specific phone model. Boot into Download Mode, Open the LG Flash Tool, Point it to your .KDZ and hit Flash :good:.
NOTE: Make sure you flash a .KDZ that is made for your phone model! Do not flash any other models .KDZ onto your phone.
To make sure you download the correct .KDZ for your device visit LG Firmware ROM and enter your IMEI. It will direct you to your appropriate .KDZ.
Some people who have used autorec to install twrp on their d852 experience a shutdown/reboot hang on their phone. The phone will appear to turn off and the only way to turn it on again is to pull the battery and put it back in.
I have created a flashable twrp zip that installs v10b firmware. It does not replace your existing baseband/modem or kernel. It also does not touch your system or data partition so there will be no data loss.
I have been using this for a week and have had no problems. I also have NOT had a reboot/shutdown hang since installing it either.
Flash at your own risk. This is for the d852 ONLY. Also, only use this if you are already running an AOSP/cm based rom. If you try to use this zip with a stock kernel you won't be able to boot afterwards.

Thank you, this problem has been with my d8522 since I bought it and nobody had a solution. I am just wondering if I want to roll back to firmware 20, what do I need to back up in TWRP or adb?
Easiest way to get back to firmware 20 would be to flash a v20 kdz.
The difficult way would be to manually backup the partitions that my zip replaces using dd from an adb shell.
Thanks for the response. I guess I have to ask my next question... Where do I find a firmware v20 for download just in case? I spent some time searching this site and I never found it. Closest I came to finding a firmware was one of the v10.
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63422778&postcount=2430
There was no kdz for my sasktel phone to be found anywhere. This method worked for me.
This is very frustrating with the d852. I just got the kdz, 1.2Gb. And flashing that back will undo the root, revert to stock. It was a pain to get this phone rooted, all methods failed except one that required a Google account to download an app from the Market.
Where do I find just the latest rooted firmware, modem, etc? I am coming from a Nexus 4, where everything was just available. This G3 is a black box, and I have no way to sort out the information.
Thanks for at least trying...
My camera stopped after use autorec, does some body has this problem? thanks
Hi everyone
Nearly three years ago I made a backup of my apps and data using LG PC Suite. At that moment I think my phone was already running JB 4.1.2, v20a or v20d idk. Now all the files are in a folder and have extensions .tar.enc, .tar.gz.enc, .brinfo and there is some start_restore file.
Between back then and now, I have made an attempt to root my phone using the Framaroot tool, and it succeeded. This morning I tried to restore the backup to my phone using LG PC Suite (probably a more recent version). After rebooting, my phone was displaying something like this:
Code:
[4180] secure booting error!
[4190] problem: boot certifiation verify
:crying:
I've had a thorough look through the fora the whole morning and half of the afternoon and still can't figure out why it gets stuck there. The restore operation doesn't succeed in any case.
In the mean time I've flashed a TWRP-3.0.2.0 recovery on top of the stock recovery. At least I get the recovery mode working, but I still wonder if it was the most clever action to get to a successful recovery of my backup...
Hence, I am still nowhere where I want to be. My questions for you guys:
Does any of you know of a way to restore the data in the backup without needing the LG P700 phone, e.g. using a virtual LG HW emulator?
If not, does any of you have a copy of the stock recovery mode of the LG P700? (yes, indeed, the one that looks ugly) Maybe using that I could bring the phone back in a near-original state and the backup restore would complete instead of getting stuck like now
Thanks in advance for your help, it will be much appreciated!!! :good: :victory:
PS: As soon as I get through this, I'll consider making a ROM build based on Android Oreo (8.1) Go edition. The specs give this phone a second chance to live on!
