Download and Install LG United Mobile Driver
Download and Install LG Mobile Support Tool​
Boot your phone into download mode:
Put your G2 into download mode by switching it off, hold the Volume up button and insert the usb cable into the phone; wait for the drivers to finish loading if doing it for the first time.​
Start the LG Mobile Support Tool and click on Options -> Upgrade Recovery

It should now download the firmware (about 2gb) and flash it - this may take some time.
This is needed if you stuck in a bootloop after the flash is done:
Factory reset (this wipe your data and sdcard):
1. Turn the phone off.
2. Press and hold the Power and Volume down button.
3. When the LG logo pops up let go for a second and press the combo again.
4. You'll be prompted to press the Power button 3 times to wipe the device.​

I would hate to have to use this, but wow what a good find. Thanks for contributing.

I used this method last night and it didnt mess with the storage at all. They don't even have a 16gb G2 so who knows. Also are you sure you are not mistaken cause this method doesnt wipe data.

I know it does'nt wipe data, but it reflashes recovery, and in my case something went wrong. But Lg DO sell D802 as a 16 gb model!

Can anyone using this method please post results. Just wondering if there is more success with this method as opposed to the other method. Thanks.

Saved my bacon today!

I don't understand how could this be, you downloaded the specific firmware for your device (using your serial number)...
Can't you just try to flash it again ?

I have reflashed it 5 times The problem was that it asked for some kind of password the first time (not the pin). So I did a factory reset. Now even TWRP says that my storage is 10.66 gb :/

Which password exactly ? when ? in the process of flashing ? the OP mentions no stage in which you need to give password...
What are you going to do now ? your device is not rooted, so you can replace it under warranty, no ?

It did not say what the password was for, just asked for it. It came up after the phone had booted, but before i could see the lockscreen. I will wait a couple of weeks, to check if someone else gets the same problem, or if it is fixable. Otherwise i will hand it in on the warranty since there are not traces of root.

Why should a password appear at that stage ???
If you went through all of the flash process successfully, booted successfully and only then did a factory reset (when you saw that password), I see no reason to blame the factory reset that you did. This is something to do with the flash process. Maybe this is kind of a punishment that LG unleash on those who use this process ? seriously, why on earth would anyone try to flash his LG2, if it wasn't to get rid of root ? I also don't understand how the password went away after you did hard-reset, since the device was "hard-reset" when you did that flash. You said that you re-flashed about 5 times, did that password appear after each of those 5 times ?

Same issue here.
I also got the question after I used the software to enter my encryptionkey. Wich I didnt have.
So I had to hardreset from the recoverymenu (volume down + pwr), then I suddenly had 10.77GB left instead of 26.77GB or something similar.
Annoys me pretty darn much at the time beeing!
I did use my IMEI, not my serialnumber and model. I'll try to use the serial and model this time around, and see if there are any differences at all in doing so.
And yes, it does say 32GB on the back. So we're not mistaken it for a 16GB-model
And it does say that the model is the 32GB when I check the hardware-info on the android itself.
Maybe this has something to do with me using the adbcommand for mounting storage incorrectly?
I thought however it would be reset when I used the LG Mobile Support Tool to hardreset everything though.

Will this work with the AT&T model D800?
Also does this remove all traces of root to the point where you get your warranty back?

what was the solution to this...

Does this work with the TMO versions?

The windows application keeps getting a Windows error and closing shortly after the process begins. Any tips?

I would prob stay away from this if i was anyone else....Because it must be messing people phones up and changing the storage capacity

[Guide][P600 Only] - Guide to return to stock with links to files!

I created a spot on my website for the stock Odin Tar's that I use for the P600.
I posted the US / XAR Region Stock Odin. I also posted the ML1 Asian base I used as well.
As I gather newer ones I will put them up and updated this thread.
Although this guide is written for the p600 it would, in theory work on any P60x device so long as you have the proper Odin files!
Note: This will not "untrip knox"!!!!!!!!
Here is the download page on my site:
MOD EDIT: Link removed as domain has expired. Thread closed until new links can be installed
Enjoy!​

P600ZTUBML1_P600ZZTBML1_BRI (Asian Based ROM / BRI Region)
Other Odin Tar resources: Sammobile. Must be a member but they have tons of them.

How to Return to stock
This mini guide assumes the following...
You were able to root and or install a custom recovery or ROM therefore the drivers are installed on your PC for the tablet. So here we go...
Download Odin from the links in the OP
Extract the the .md5 file from the zip file you downloaded above.
Boot tablet into "Download" mode. You can do this by holding Power and Volume - (down) when the device is shut off. I note on this device it can be a little trickier so you may have to try a couple times. You should now see this on your tablet

}
Connect Tablet to PC using known good USB Cable
Start Odin and Press the "AP" button to load the tar.md5 file. This may take a minute as it is also calculating the MD5 to ensure you have a good file. A bad file means bad issues and it wont let you flash it (good fail safe).
Once Odin sees the Tar and loads it completely AND Odin sees the tablet press the Start button to begin. Can takes about 5 to 10 minutes so be patient. Do NOT check or uncheck mark ANY other Options in Odin unless you know what you are doing!
Once it complete you will have a factory image on your tablet. Yay!
But we are not done. You may also want to, at this point, reboot to recovery and do a full data wipe. This method of Odin leaves the SD card and user data intact. To get into recovery hold Power and Volume + until you see the stock Android recovery. Select format Data, reboot. Boom, your tablet is like brand new!

Guided added!
I am not the best technical writer so if you need help understanding what I am saying dont hesitate to ask!

Indeed!

What happens if I failed to root (according to TWRP) and am stuck in the Samsung splash screen? I was obviously able to install TWRP so hopefully that is enough for Odin to get me back to stock
Will this work?

If you can see samsung screen you can odin back to stock.
The directions I posted should hold true about getting to Odin / Download Mode

Thanks for this guide, I agree, it should definitely be in the development section.

Hello
So will I get the OTA updates after this? How do I untrip knox?
thanks

Thanks for this Scott and a great ROM!!!!

Yes, this is returning you to stock like when you turned it on for the very first time.
No one knows how to untrip knox.

Is it Knox that blocks the ota updates, or is it the rooting itself?

Not sure. Never tried to Ota with KNOX.
Maybe ask in the Q/A forums.

Just to be safe, and If I do this the tablet will be as if it was completely new, right? I'm going to exchange it for another one and I want to be sure it's as new. Are there any flash counters or stuff like that I should be worried about?
Sent from my Nexus 5

So when a system update comes out we could use these directions to flash the stock rom with out loosing data, apps, settings, etc? Then be able to get the stock OTA?
Coming from the Nexus world, This is a bit different. Google seems to have no interest in the 10 inch sector though, so here we are.

Never have we had a tablet so heavily defended with so many issues. 6 tablets and this one stands out.

I think I understand what you are saying, but I'm new to Android, and would appreciate a sanity check::cyclops:
1. Knox "trips" (i.e. opens a fusible link in the hardware) if you root the tab and (or?) boot with a non-factory ROM. Once it trips, it cannot ever be "untripped", even if you return to a factory ROM image. (Hence the emphatic statement in the quote.)
2. Question: If a tablet is currently, and has always been, unrooted and stock, will using Odin and these instructions with a factory ROM trip knox? For example, to upgrade to the factory KitKat image
3. Follow-up question: If I flash KitKat as above, can I return to the original release by following your guide, again without tripping knox?
Thanks for the guide and software, and for your help.

1. As far as anyone knows, Knox cannot be untripped.
2. If you Odin a FACTORY IMAGE it WILL NOT trip Knox. Only custom roms/rooting trips AFAIK.
3. I'm not 100% sure as I haven't tried, but I think I've seen discussions where the bootloader wasn't changed so you could go back. Again, I'm not 100% sure. Maybe we could get clarification from someone who tried.

[Q] Grand 2 Duos SM-G7106 does not enter download mode

Hello,
A customer gave a Grand 2 (SM-G7106) for service, to have a custom rom & recovery installed.
I've been trying to use the method that's available in all the forums (put the phone to download mode, connect it to odin & etc...).
But the phone does not go into download mode in the first place for some reason.
Rather, when I keep holding Vol Down + Home + Power (or Vol Down + Power only) , a screen flashes to say 'Factory mode' for like 2 secs & then, I get these options

Hey buddies,
I got a 4.3 Samsung SM-G7106, with G7106ZNUANK1 from China Unicom (CHU). unfortunately, I can't root it properly. Tried CF-Root, TowelRoot and Framaroot but no luck.
I hope you can help me out guys, thanks!

May be it is super copy for grand 2,,try to chek with cpu identifier or cpu z,,
Sent from my SM-G7102

Nah, its not a supercopy, just found out that one of my friend was also using the same phone, same specs, same everything and he bought it on Samsung Store in China (He presented me with the copy of the receipt and box stuffs), so yeah, I think its a legit one since its running well on Kies also (unlike other copy phones which can't be detected thru Kies). Anyway, I found a root program from G7106ZNUANC1 and I forgot the other one, its thru SRS root, but didnt work for my phone unfortunately. :crying:
Hope someone could help me root my G7106ZNUANK1 soon!

Hi.
I just got also a Grand 2 G7106, and does the same thing - chinese menus instead of recovery mode. Found a video on youtube that explained which single item does, and most are only a bunch of tests, and one for factory reset, but still with this same issue.
I also would like to know how to use odin without entering in download mode.

Hey buddy, try using SRS root software if you wanted to root your phone. If you're lucky enough that its not the G7106znuank1 model, then it can be rooted thru it. Otherwise, you'll be stuck like me. lol.. good luck! :good:

looks like i am stuck with you guys too. Have the same Samsung SM-G7106 . I tried using ODIN to install CWM. Despite Odin saying that it is PASS and device rebooted itself, when i try to go into recovery mode (CWM) it goes into default Android recovery mode instead with (write protected) ... i tried TWRP too using ODIN and it is not working. Tried both Odin 3.09 and 3.10

If you're still looking for a way to root your SM-G7106, I managed to do it with the KingoRoot app.
super simple process. It's based on Chainfire.
I should mention this was with: G7106znuank1

I have a grand 2 g7106 hard bricked and it is totally dead how to solve this problem please help.
Thanks in advance

Standard Update Caused a Reboot Loop. Will ADB / ODIN Work without it Unlocked?

I have Galaxy s8 on Verizon SM-G950U, a standard update notice kept appearing past few days, finally installed it. The minute it finished, it is now in an endless restarting loop. Does not stay on. Tried cache wipe and safe mode, no luck. I am trying to salvage some picture and files in it. I'm 3 days into researching this stuff and watching endless videos, I still dont know what or how to do this.
1) Would ADB allow backup of files if the phone wont stay on? It does stay on when in Android Recovery mode (Volume down and Power button press), but would recovery mode allow access to internal files such as backing up pictures?
2) I was considering trying to flash my phone. But would that even work without it being on the normal homescreen? If so, would I just download whatever the latest ODIN is, 3.13.1? And then whatever the latest Firmware software is for my phone (see below)?

Yes the firmware below is the latest. You put your device in download mode and flash using the latest Odin as for your data. Do not use the home csc. Will wipe. Other than most of the time your data should be safe. Not always but most of the time. Uncheck nand erase

Dude first off did you activated oem unlock in developer settings (does this Samsung even have a unlocked bootloader) Since you messed up patching twrp to the recovery you need to reflash stock firmware run the setup wizard after its done go in developer settings and make sure oem unlock is activated or more important is the option even present?
(alright its thier I didn't see the F in your model number)

First of all, my friend did nothing about unlocking oem (you can see from the picture i uploaded, both oem and frp locks are active). He didn't even searched about it . I don't think the bootloader also unlocked. So its pretty messed up right now. I actually tried flashing both android 8 and 9 with different variations, odin always failed. If at least oem was unlocked i think i would do something but, i have no idea waht to do.

Galaxy S8 didn't get android 10 update unfortunately. I'm still thinking that the problem that causes failed flashes comes from probably the roms i have. But i'm downloading from samdb, when it is downloaded i'll try that and it will probably work i assume.

Alright let me know the progress your friend shouldn't tinker without the proper knowledge cause now that expensive phone just a piece of metal once he has twrrp installed he should be protected from this happening again cause then again twrp is a modders best friend

You are completely right sir. Personally, every phone i had for 5 years were all modded and i always do my search before doing anything. What he did was a really big mistake and he could've asked me. At least he took a lesson from happened to him :laugh:
I just took his phone to my home and connected to my pc, i flashed the stock rom without any problem. I decided to root his phone by myself. I don't think he should attempt to do this kind of critical operations alone . Thanks for the help!
I also have another question; he had a backup of his files and apps using Smart Switch. If i root his phone, i know kies and smart switch doesn't work with updating phones. But can it restore the backup on a rooted phone?
