[Q] Cannot install any rom / cannot restore to stock (T-Mobile D801)

Long story short, I deleted my backup rom (Don't ask Please cause I already know)
I am running TWRP 2.6.3.2 and it does NOT let me install any rom (4.3 or 4.4) I constantly get the error (Error executing updater binary in zip) for every rom zip I have downloaded.(AOKP)(PA)(CM 11) etc...
I've tried the Return to stock guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 in General Discussion, and I consistently get stuck @ 49% when restoring the firmware.
I also cannot get the LG Mobile support tool to download a new firmware for the phone itself.
I do have access to sideload via TWRP but it is useless because every rom gives me an error.
Do I have any options left or do I just call it a week and enjoy my $600 paper weight?
Please any help would be much appreciated!

Can you get into download mode? If so, the LG Mobile Launcher should work. Make sure you have the latest drivers downloaded from LG. It should also be in the thread about using the Mobile Launcher. I couldn't get it to work at first because I didn't install the latest drivers. Just plugging in the phone to your PC won't do it. Also, if you do get it to work, the firmware that will be installed will be d80110g, not d80110c that came with the phone. There is no info about this version other than the thread I started about it. Code Hustler tweaked ioroot to root this version and it is in the thread. Just search "T-Mobile software update" in the general section if you do get it installed. Good luck!

Sideload the latest twrp recovery and then pick your rom and retry make sure you are correctly wipeing systen dalvik and chache

Whenever I try to use the upgrade, it never even asks me for my IMEI , it says stuck displaying: Downloading software, but it never downloads anything. It could be a driver issue. There is just so many links on here maybe I really haven't installed the correct drivers??
Any links to drivers that works would be very nice if possible!

Where did you get the latest drivers from?? Maybe I don't have the "Latest Drivers".

I cant post outside links, but go to google and search d801 usb driver and download it from lg site
Try install and tell me if it solved your problem.. Otherwise ill help you getting it solved.
ill keep an eye on this post..

Problem Resolved / My Solution
Okay, after 12+ hours of trying every method possible on XDA I finally resolved my issue. I will update the first post just incase any others care or fall into the same dilemma I was in.
The LG Mobile Support tool would not download the firmware and it would NOT ask me for my IMEI to download it either.
So my solution....
***
Installed LG Mobile Support Tool then Installed the LG Drivers.
BEFORE I connected the phone to the computer. I opened the LG Mobile support tool clicked (Options on the top right).
When the dropped down opened, I clicked the (Upgrade Recovery) option. THEN, is when the prompt opened to ask me what my IMEI is.
Before I entered my IMEI, I connected my phone to the computer, then proceeded to enter my IMEI and hit OK.
This is when the LG Mobile Support tool SUCCESSFULLY downloaded the latest official LG firmware and installed it.
*** BE AWARE, with the phone connected to the PC, the prompt NEVER appeared to enter my IMEI.
*** But with the phone disconnected, the prompt came up every time. This might be the trick for some people.
*** with the IMEI prompt opened, I then connected the phone , entered the IMEI, then hit OK. BOOM HERPES....
Well I'll polish this up more later. I hope this works for every LG G2 Variant and not just the T-Mobile one (D801)

Well, good to hear that your phone works again... I see CM nightly has some TWRP install script in lastest build, and a TWRP version for CM 10.2 and CM11...

Go back to 100% STOCK from 4.4.2!!!

Since so many people have asked if they can go back to 4.2.2 from using my 4.4.2 update thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692505
YES YES YES you CAN go back to STOCK 100%, the day it came out of the box 4.2.2 if you try out the 4.4.2 update I shared.
This is the Official direct from LG update/return to stock you'll be doing.
Heres how:
Make sure your usb drivers are installed.
Make sure you backup EVERYTHING you want to keep as this will wipe your LG G Pad V500 completely.
Now
Make sure your G Pad is ON, and plugged into your PC and It is plugged in with LG Software mode **NOT connected in "charge tablet" or "Media sync (MTP)".
This will ONLY work in LG Software mode.
Download this:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407582419
Install it and right click on it and Run As Administrator, just to be safe.
Open it and once you get to the screen click OK at the bottom...
The next screen will say "Your device has the latest software available..."
Ignore this.
Click on OPTIONS in the top right...select "Upgrade Recovery" give a few seconds to load and it's going to do it's thing
--It's going to ask you for 2 things: 1st line "LG V500" or "LGV500" or "V500" I believe I used "LGV500" and the 2nd line goes your serial number to your LG G Pad, it's on your box, OR the sticker on the back at the bottom of your tablet or I am sure there is an app or another way to get that for you, I have my box.
Now just sit and let it do it's thing and it will flash and "update" your LG G Pad V500 back to 4.2.2 stock, with the stock 4.2.2 bootloader.
You can root, use the Loki exploit, add recovery or whatever your heart desires.
((NOW GO CHECK OUT THE 4.4.2 update I posted and see for yourself if the 4.4.2 update was worth the wait, since you now know you can indeed go back to stock 4.2.2 so easily))
****IF you are stuck in an LG logo bootloop, do the following:
--HOLD the power button for up to 30 seconds until your tablet is OFF completely.
Now press and hold the power & volume down button
As soon as the LG logo shows up, release the power button ONLY, keep holding Volume Down.
While holding Volume down press and hold the Power Button & Volume UP.
You should be now holding all 3 buttons.
The Factory Reset Screen should appear, now let go of the buttons.
Press the power button to continue.
Press the power button again to confirm if you’re sure you wish to continue with the reset and press power a 3rd time.
Voila.
You're back to stock 4.2.2 100% and YES you can use the Loki exploit again! As this does go back to the 4.2.2 bootloader
GO ROOT and do your thing.

I used this method when I originally downgraded from the leak. The problem here that I've been asking all over the place is where is the file stored that is downloaded? This method will become obsolete without it because this tool will just download the kk update when it's released. The tool downloads and flashes the 'latest' firmware.
I've looked everywhere on my computer looking for the 1.5gb file that this tool downloads (currently 4.2.2) and I just can't find it....

Yup the tool deletes it after. You have to copy it out before the tool competes flashing.

Ok. So right after the dl while it's flashing, navigate there & copy it? Think there is a way to then use the file later with the same tool even though it's not auto downloading it?

It's doing the same for me

As predicted, this doesn't work anymore since it's downloading and re flashing KitKat. Is there a work-arround to stop it from downloading and feed it the 4.2.2. flash file?
I want to revert back to 4.2.2 but the guides i've seen so far seem complicated. This one is simple but don't work anymore.

Yes, it is possible. I did it two days ago following an italian guide, through google translate. I would post the link but unfortunatelly I'm not allowed, having less than 10 posts.
But answer me this: why do you wanna go back to 4.2.2? The reason I'm asking is because, after I downgraded and tried various ROMs, I reverted back to KitKat in a matter of hours.

this is required so one can retain loki and custom recovery patched in the latest bootloader , so the ideal way would be to
1. get to 4.2.2
2. Root
3. TWRP recovery
4. Flash 4.4.2 official zip via recovery thus retaining recovery and the loki exploit

You can also use the loki exploit, obtain root and then flash a custom recovery AFTER upgrading to 4.4.2. I know this because I did it.

I also tried it running official 4.4.2 but it seems like since there is 4.4.2 officially available it just reflashes the same system.

LINK TO UPDATED PROCEDURE:
Since LG has put the 4.4.2 image on their servers, factory restore now gets you a version without the exploits required to flash a custom recovery. The procedure in post #1 no longer reverts to 4.2.2.
Fortunately, there is another thread that discusses a workaround to this. If you need to flash a 4.4.2 device back to 4.2.2 so you can flash a custom recovery (and in order to have access to third-party ROMs), please see this post:

I hope this helps.

After updating my g pad to 4.4.2 the front camera stopped working. Android can't recognize it anymore so I'am downgrading to 4.2.2

Can't root!
Hello everyone,
I just got the LG G Pad 8.3 couple weeks ago. I've never been able to own an Android device that I didn't flash a custom rom on. I am currently trying to root this tablet, however, cannot do it for the life of me!
I've tried several guides on XDA but always end up with it not working. First issue I'm dealing with is that I cannot boot into the stock recovery. My recovery doesn't have the option to load from ADB. So, that's out of the question.
Following the guide within this thread leads me to the fact that I cannot go into "Software Mode"!!!
Please help me!
The specs on this tablet are the following:
Model number: CK810 4G :cyclops:
Android Version: 4.4.2
Software Version: VK81022B
Kernel version: 3.4.0

I cant open b2capp - it's showing- check your internet connection. But I'm all the time on wifi, I hv no idea what's happend.

Flash magisk via TWRP.

Hi.
I think my problem is unusual.
I try to install TWRP and/or root my device.
I red a few instructions in german and english.
And still nothing.
Details.
1. I have the compilation: from 2016.08.10.
2. Updater says I have new soft. I can download it 100 times. It says "downloading", then "installing" and "rebooting" but in the end nothing changes: still the same rom, still I can download and install this new soft (from 2017.1.12, 927,13 MB).
3. I can open the recovery mode. This is impossible for this device. Power+UP, Power+DOWN = doesn't matter. I see something like bootloop, but after 10-20 seconds the system is rebooting normally. No recovery.
3A. I didn't find an extra settings in "Options" which give more possibilities during turning off (for example: "restart in recovery").
As You see I can't make the backup (nesessary for me) that is why I didn't try "factory reset".
4. Instructions from Internet didn't work:
a) "MT65xx USB VCOM DRIVERS" installs some drivers but I don't have "Ports (COM&LPT) for Windows 10,
b) "SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1640_Win": no scatter file, don't know how to make it, the file from Internet didn't help,
c) "SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1640_Win": I can't tick "recovery" and any other option,
d) "Mtk_Droid_Tool_v2.5.3": it doesn't show any informations about the device.
As You see I can nothing with my P9000.
Do You have any ideas?

Autorec is damn slow and has no progress bar. While its gathering device infos it won't ever respond. Be patient and when Autorec finished gathering it will work. Good luck!

Yes sir... Followed the same flashed back to stock using lg flash tools and then repeated the process and voila I'm now running on cyanogenmod 13 snapshot build....Thanks a lot..btw if you're on cm13 have you tested out the latest nightly....is it better and bug free or should i keep using the snapshot build....its very smooth but i just find the battery consumption to be a bit high.. Anyways thanks a lot for your help...

I get the pop ups that says finished gathering information and backup complete
still i waited 5 minutes ( lol... yess too long.. but just to make sure )
and press the screen... NOTHING!!!!
so i will think will flask stock
but KK
right ?
i already downloaded d801v20g00.kdz
and im now that one stock
BTW,
a friend of mine just got a NEXUS 5 and the camera sux
very grainy in marginal light, suppose to be very similar to the G2 but no!
G2 is way better camera
also i have read somehwere that you can install another camera package from the G3 or G4
if i an not mistaken and that is better than the stock G2 camera
The better the algorithms to render a JPG from the RAW DATA of the chip camera sensor
the best the pic looks
is XCAM the one ?
Well, im back to stock d801v20g
i am planning to install Cloudy v3 or CM13
any recomendation ?
i heard XCAM only work with stocks
so... tough decisions

Frequently asked questions (Beginners guide through forum) A6000

I don't want to be rude but I am starting to get a little annoyed with same questions repeating over and over on all threads so i decided to post some answers here where they could be easily accessed.
1. Q:""Can i flash this Marshmallow/Lollipop/Nougat rom over my stock KitKat?"
A:The answer in most cases is that you cant (except in ED300 CM12.1 Rom but its still preferred that you flash stock Lollipop firmware separately).For those who don't want to waste their time flashing Stock rom there is an alternative flash-able zip could be found here
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/len...itkat-lolipop-firmware-base-switcher-t3249046 - for A6000
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a6000/how-to/firmware-base-switcher-a6000-plus-t3411914 - for A6000 Plus.
2.Q:"Where can i find TWRP recovery for my firmware?"
A:Here you go
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a6000/how-to/twrp-development-wt86518-t3498524 - Lollipop/Marshmallow/Nougat recovery developed by TingyiChen
- https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B2xkkOmw_M2NNXlVYnFYZnRIZHc?usp=sharing - made by SevenMaxs
TWRP 2.8.6.1 Is KitKat only compatible recovery
TWRP 2.8.7.7 Is Lollipop only compatible recovery
TWRP 3.0.2.0 Is Lollipop/Marshmallow/Nougat compatible recovery
*I couldn't find official links so i uploaded files to my google drive if any developer has a problem with this he can DM me and i will update the links *
3.Q:"Does this rom support VoLTE?"
A:So long there isnt a rom that supports VoLTE (As far as i know).There is some lib or source code problem with VoLTE (idk i am not a developer).There is a thread about this topic here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a6000/help/lenovo-a6000-plus-volte-support-t3418004 -
4.Q:"Does this rom/kernel support OTG?"
A:No there is not.OTG support is a kernel feature that isnt available for our device.Maybe devharsh1998 is working on this maybe he isnt who knows be patient.
5.Q"Which rom is the best?"
A:Answer for this question is subjective you can always easily try couple of them.I like mshoaib7 ports i am currently on Nexus Experience ROM but i plan on switching to nougat soon.
6.Q"ED300 links aren't working?"
A:ED300 isn't developing for our device anymore and his thread links are not working but you can try some of the files that are on his androidfilehost folder
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=96089
This isn't tested by me and since the development stopped they are not recommended since bugs can't be fixed anymore.
7.Q"My phone is bricked heeeellllppppp?!?!"
A:If you are stuck on a splash screen/bootlogo
Can you enter recovery by restarting your phone and holding vol+ and vol-.If answer is yes just reflash the rom or try different one.If you cant enter recovery mode but can enter fastboot mod by holding vol - when restarting the device then follow this quide :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a6000/how-to/how-to-bring-phone-to-life-fastboot-t3561070
If your phone is showing only black screen or isnt booting at all you can try QFIL unbricking method
Disclaimer:
Nothing of this is my work all credits go to the developers i am just trying to make it easier for the developers and to try and answer noobier questions that are flooding the development threads.If you think some answers need further explanations or you have some more questions feel free to PM me.Enjoy roms and happy flashing

8.Q:How to change cache and data to f2fs
A:You need to have a recovery that supports f2fs thats burgexx and tingychan 3.0.3.0 and 3.0.2.0 twrp
Be ware all your data will be wiped!
Step 1: go to wipe format data type yes and wipe all
Step 2: Comeback slide the option "Slide to do factory Reset"
Step 3: Go to Advanced Wipe Section Select all Partitions "Expect SD-Card/External Storage"
Step 4: Wipe them all
Step 5: after wipe is complete select cache "Click on change file system type" and you will find f2fs option there hit it
Step 6: Do same for data that is Select "data " click "Change File System type" hit f2fs
Step 7: Flash Latest Rom & Gapps Reboot enjoy
Thanks to @somnath pal for his short but clear tutorial
Also you need to be sure that rom that you plan on using suports f2fs (dev harsh roms and some of the mshoaib ports)
And also kernel (for now only Phantom-Reborn)
9.Q:My IMEI is lost what should i do??!
A:Follow this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a6000/how-to/fix-signal-imei-lenovo-a6000-a6000-via-t3421021
10.Q:How to flash official firmware/rom?
A: Go to this thread,https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a6000/how-to/lenovo-a6010-plus-stock-rom-t3407963
find ROM for your device download it.Unpack zip transfer system.zip and yourregion.zip (yourregion.zip is optional and if you live in india its probably india.zip) and flash it in TWRP recovery.Go to wipe, swipe to factory reset then go to install and select system.zip ,swipe to install it then select yourregion.zip and swipe again,reboot.If you are having problems with TWRP flash stock recovery via fastboot or flashify etc..

Thanks for this thread but there are still a lot of noobs asking for volte
