my sprint g flex 2 just took a major dive. it keeps going to a black screen and then turning back on to the home screen, every few seconds. tried doing a factory reset and no help. think the update bricked it. I rooted it using the new method and it worked fine. no idea what the hell happened after last night lol
is there a way to go back to the stock firmware as if it just came out of the box?

Not as of right now. As far as I have seen, there have been no stock firmware dumps from the Sprint version of the G Flex 2. Attempts to restore it back to factory settings have ended up in bootlooping phones. The only resolution I've seen so far is unfortunately getting Sprint to exchange the phone. Did you try installing the OTA after root, or did you root after the OTA?

Root then OTA. I work for Sprint so they made me the advocate of that phone. Not a huge fan of it so far. even before all this mess, the phone was lagging and getting way too hot.

ZV5 update fixes a lot of the lag issues and greatly improves battery life. Phone still gets warm to the touch. I don't think that can be fixed via software update though.

What I meant was, so far everyone who tried the OTA update after root, they failed.
I unrooted the phone and put it back to factory settings. Just gonna have LG replace it for me. It's only 3 weeks old so I should be fine.

The only issue I really have with this phone is lack of patched native hotspot
Other than that, the slight lag I'm experiencing here and there I can live with. No other issues for me and I consider it to be the best designed phone on the market except for Sharp Aquos, which is unfortunately too small and has mediocre components.

Didn't even root mine and it did the same thing. Took it to sprint and got a replacement. Replacement damn near caught fire in my pocket and took it back and got the note 4. The screen on my second device was fine the phone just over heated really bad when not even being used.

Hey guys,
So I just got the G3 last week, and an update rolled out from AT&T. Me being the idiot I am thought it was the Lollipop update so I updated it. Turns out, it was just 10f.
Then when I looked for ways to root the G3, all the methods required the software to be on 10d, not f.
What should I do?
Any help is much appreciated.
Use the bruteforce method in Stump root.
see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/att-d85010f-update-stump-root-t2953063
You are certain it'll work for 10f?

100%. I rooted on 10f using stump.
In addition, if you plan on rooting a device and you know there is an update, please wait to install the update until you know a root method is found.

You can always flash back to the older version 10d in the return to stock thread.

This is what I would do. It is possible you got a bad OTA as well. Did you factory reset after the OTA? I have seen many cases on forums where a factory reset takes care of many issues after an OTA.

I don't know man, do you have the correct app installed? Mine went through smoothly in less than 5 minutes.
I just did this - now i am trying to bump the device. So my memory is relatively fresh
Reboot for fresh start - Run Stump - it will say device not supported - try brute force - let it run - takes 5 - 7 and maybe 10 min after which it says "reboot" device - then go ahead and reboot device. Run stump again - it should say device is rooted. Next download "root checker" it will say rooted. Ofcourse if this all does not go thru - you can downgrade to a previous firmware and it'll go easier - however that's more labor intensive and you'll not be able to back up the current ROM with all your apps and setup.
Well, I ended up having to flash back to 10d as mentioned by many of you. This fixed the problem!

Good to hear and I do not think you are missing much going back. At least I have found no difference. Just freeze "Software Update" to prevent nagging OTA update notifications.

I actually installed CM12...its friggin awesome.
I can report no issues here with Stumproot on 10f and I've restored back to stock multiple times.
Sounds like something was just messed up on my phone, everyone else was able to use it!
perhaps this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/development/rom-stock-rooted-att-odexed-d85010f-t2945873
works nicely, no muss, no fuss
If i revert to 10D do i have to use the BUMP method after root? Or just get TWRP/CWM Recovery like good ole days? I just don't care to have the BUMP bypass that is why I am asking.
I have the ATT G3 10F.
Today i get an update OTA
i downloaded it and wanted to update, but in the Update-Screen, the progress failed and my phone reboot
i have rooted my flex2 (h955) and the software recognized it and throw out an error
is there any way to update?
i searched the problem in google, but google doesnt found anything and in the G3 forum stands, that root is no problem with stock recovery and ich have stock recovery
You might have to unroot before doing the OTA update.

count me in the same boat :/
have the sprint version of the phone and woke up this morning to a prompt that there was an android update. with my brain not being awake yet i went ahead and told it to update, not thinking about root preventing the update. So went about my morning routine and came back and the phone was booted back up, but obviously the update didn't apply as i was still on ZV4, not ZV5. when checking for update it says there are no updates available.
can anyone help me/us out and post some steps for how to unroot and reapply the update? i'm good at following directions, just too new to this stuff to be able to figure it out on my own

anyone have any tips on forcing the OTA to download again?i've disabled SU, rebooted, and factory reset and it still says i'm up to date when checking for an update. or is there a way to download the OTA and update the phone some other way?
really want to check out this update and see the improvements, just can't get it to go after trying to update this morning while still rooted

I tested all the files and I have no message and signal works perfectly.
woke up this morning to the prompt that there was an update available again, not sure why it does it overnight but won't when i manually check for update..... anyway, i disabled SU, rebooted, then started the update and watched it this time and in the middle of the upgrade it came up with the android guy on his back and it said error. after a bit it restarted again and was back to where i started, no update.
so it looks like i need to unroot. would appreciate any help on how to unroot so i can apply the OTA, thanks!!!!!
Here with a sprint flex 2. First time I tried ota update I was rooted and it failed. A few days later the update notification showed up again, went ahead and unrooted, tried the update and still failed. I'm not sure root has anything to do with update failing now. Could be something else. So far I haven't read about anyone successfully completing update and reporting it.
I was getting the same error message about being rooted even after un rooting the device.
I installed the lg pc suite and upgraded to 10d that way and then re rooted using the method on this forum.
It looks like there may be a flag thats triggered once u root that doesnt get removed even if u unroot it.
ugh! i can't even get my phone to connect to pc suite to try and "fix" it so i can attempt the update
I was checking LG Twitter and saw that LG has new firmwares (Lollipop) for T-Mobile LG G2 and G3. For LG G2 it is D80130B. You can use LG Support Tool to update your G2.
Sorry if it was posed previously.
https://twitter.com/lg_firmware
Yep, installs fine and so far everything is working for me
Also installed it here. Haven't noticed any bugs..... yet....
Good to hear that it is working good for you because I have G3 and it is stable too. I wonder why T-Mobile is not sending OTA!
It should be available via LG Support Tool too.
Anyone that has installed this, when you reboot does the T-Mobile boot animation do anything or is it just a picture?

Just updated via LG tool. While it did not erase my data during the upgrade, not everything works within the ROM. I'm doing a factory reset right now to see if that fixes the issues.
I uploaded a mirror on my server
D80130b_00.kdz - 1075.8 Mb
I tried to update via update tool and at first while the drivers were installing it said there was an update available then once the drivers finished installing it said that my d801 was up to date with 20g..... Oh well guess i will just flash kdz and hope i can get it rooted. First time i tried 30b kdz i was able to root using the method for g flex 2 but every time i tried after that it would not run the last script.....
Can someone confirm that this update includes volte support

Hello
Im download the d80130b to my LG G2 801 T-MOBILE and is working perfectly with LG FLASH TOOL
Anyone notice any GPS improvement with this update?
No but I noticed On Screen Phone and Wireless Storage are missing and I used both.
Too bad to hear that we lost OSP and wifi storage. About the only good news is that I don't use either of them. I just started messing with OSP and think it might be something I mess with, but not really use that often. I've decided to take the plunge and install on my phone. I'll run it through the stuff I normally use and report back.
Can someone explain why wireless storage was discontinued? The feature was so useful as no cable was needed for transferring media.
Ok, been running this through it's paces today. I don't have any problems so far. It does take a little getting used to. I did discover in my testing that the GPS problems is, in my opinion, completely a software issue. When running maps, GPS test, or GPS status the GPS reception basically sucks. The compass was off, keeping lock was a pain, and updating location was slow/jumpy. Now for the heck of it I ran my Navionics boat charting app and it ran flawlessly.
Not sure where else I can post my finding for developers to work on. Let me know if anyone has other ideas

anyone have a bricked flex 2 they'd like to donate for testing?
looking for flex 2 devices with messed up bootloader.. either showing up as a 9008 qhsusb bulk device or phone not turning on at all (nothing shows on screen).
i do have one black screen and 9008
Qdloader 9008
I have mine too, i followed some genius and ended up with dead phone, awaiting solution as it was rolled for G3 and other LG devices. :crying:
So I read other threads with similar issues but nothings seemed to work.
Basically my LG G3 (AT&T) started acting odd one day. Resetting every 3-5 minutes, overheating (more than usual), wouldn't connect to Wi-Fi. Eventually I reset it and the problems got worse. I downloaded a boot logger that can't figure out why, there's no physical damage (EDIT: when this first started, I noticed that the little pink water damage sticker on the battery was, well pink, however I never got it wet and could've been pink before but I don't know), I factory reset it again and nothing, swapped the battery and everything. I could've done more but it is still under warranty so I kinda gave up and decided to exchange it.
The new one is on the way and comes tomorrow or Wednesday however now my G3 won't even turn on, or rather it stays locked on the boot screen (the LG logo specifically) it won't go past that. I tried to hard reset it with the power button and it gets to the screen with the android logo with its chest open and just resets again.
I'm not trying to fix it anymore I just want advice on wiping it basically as I can't even wipe it through my computer. With my last phone what I did before selling it, and what I wanted to do again, is encrypt it, then factory reset to just be extra safe and I wanna know if there's anyway I can do this basically with the phone like this, or if I can get it to a state where I can do that again. I'm not all too familiar with android this low level so I want to know if I can basically "hard" wipe it because I can't even connect it to my computer (it keeps resetting).
Also one time on a boot it said the kernel crashed, don't know how relevant that is as it only happened once out of at least 1,000 times by this point.
Any help would be appreciated, super frustrated right now.
Thank you!

I downloaded a boot logger that can't figure out why, there's no physical damage (EDIT: when this first started, I noticed that the little pink water damage sticker on the battery was, well pink, however I never got it wet and could've been pink before but I don't know), I factory reset it again and nothing, swapped the battery and everything. I could've done more but it is still under warranty so I kinda gave up and decided to exchange it.
The new one is on the way and comes tomorrow or Wednesday however now my G3 won't even turn on, or rather it stays locked on the boot screen (the LG logo specifically) it won't go past that. I tried to hard reset it with the power button and it gets to the screen with the android logo with its chest open and just resets again.
I'm not trying to fix it anymore I just want advice on wiping it basically as I can't even wipe it through my computer. With my last phone what I did before selling it, and what I wanted to do again, is encrypt it, then factory reset to just be extra safe and I wanna know if there's anyway I can do this basically with the phone like this, or if I can get it to a state where I can do that again. I'm not all too familiar with android this low level so I want to know if I can basically "hard" wipe it because I can't even connect it to my computer (it keeps resetting).
Also one time on a boot it said the kernel crashed, don't know how relevant that is as it only happened once out of at least 1,000 times by this point.
Any help would be appreciated, super frustrated right now.
Thank you!

So I'm going through the tot method, however when I plug the phone in I get an error that "Windows malfunctioned the last time the device was plugged in" I plugged it in last night to see if I could do anything and it kept resetting. But in device manager it just shows up as an unknown USB device and there is now no ports section.

What's your OS? If windows 8/10 you'll need to unhide. But if your getting a windows malfunctioned the last time error that would be your computer problem.

Windows 10. It seems like it can't recognize the device, it says under USB controllers: " Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)"

I just tried it on another computer, exact same error. It says that there could be something wrong with the device.

Still windows 10? I've never even seen that error before. Try installing drivers from LGs site?

Do you know where I could find the driver files? Not the executable, I'm gonna try to "force" update the driver cause it just can't recognize the device but I need the drivers and can't find them.
And yea still Windows 10.

Just go to LGs website. The executable should work fine. Are you not trying the ones in the Op? You might want to use a different OS. Not that I'm blaming 10 but for a lot of reasons I had to downgrade.

I think I figured it out, only issue (and this is the dumbest yet) is I can't find the .tot file? I downloaded the D850 stock image zip and it's not in there as far as i can tell.

You extract the zip file... All TOT's are placed in zip files due to size to help people who download it.

Wait. What are you trying to do? Why are you needing to flash it if you haven't already voided your warranty? Rooting/Custom rom "voids warranty" in itself.
Flash a tot or kdz puts the phone 100% complete back to stock as you bought it.

Why won't it boot properly? Also keep in mind this is the only method of going back stock. Also the method only requires you to be in download mode.
