Hi XDA Members,
I was trying to return my G2 to Stock, in the process I mistakenly installed the T-Mobile firmware onto my Verizon Phone. The phone restarts every 10 secs and has no working wifi/4g.
I no longer have TWRP installed, nor any other recovery mode apparently (?), I'm now unrooted, but I can access download mode.
My computer has LG's General G2 drivers installed, the Verizon G2 drivers installed, and I have access to the LG Flash Tool. Everytime I try to use it, it is saying that it can not connect to server, please try another time. I've got the Stock Firmware download as both a kdz and a tot file.
I know I shouldn't have made such an oversight, installing the wrong firmware. But I would be most grateful if someone could assist!
Thanks in advance
I just came upon this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g2/help/fix-recover-installing-t-mobile-rom-t3068517 which is telling me to edit the tot, changing from VVS980 to a VD801(00).
Would this be the way to do that? (10th line from the top, at the right) Thanks again

Try this thread. I had some issues installing a custom rom on a g2 I recently purchased and I had to go back to stock courtesy of a kdz file. Got my phone back to stock 4.4.2 it came with in about 10 minutes after using LG flash tool 2014. With the lg flash tool 2014 you will still get the cannot connect to server issue but it will still update your phone so just ignore it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190

hi, i'm completely new to the android experience, so I know next to nothing about rooting. I read the post on how to root my samsung galaxy sII and decided to root it. I did the odin with
XWKDD_insecure.tar, and it was fine. Following that, I went on to use superoneclick. However, everytime i tried to root using superoneclick , the program becomes not responding on my
computer, so I gave up. After that, I turned on my phone and the wifi and 4g no longer works. So i follow an post trying to restore the factory firmware, the only catch is, my phone is
an US Sprint phone, and the firmware available in the post was the UK version. I used odin to run the UK version of samsung simfree firmware, but it failed. Following that, I went to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 to download the android 2.3.3 for north america. I ran it using odin and it failed as well. so now my phone will turn
on but its stuck on the page that says samsung galaxy s2 with a warning sign on it. I can't turn it off with the power button. I have to manually remove the batter. Someone please help
me, I just got this phone last week.
Now its stuck on this :

Please choose the correct forum for your question.
This ist the category for the galaxy s i9000.
Take this tutorial to reflash to the stock rom:

Good luck ;-)
I have the sprint LG marquee. I know most of the Optimus Black stuff isn't compatible with my phone but dunno where else to post.
At one point I had root access and cwm recovery on it (that is all that is available for that phone atm). I accidentally used the LG support tool (like Motorola phone tool), thinking it would just install usb drivers to my pc. What it did must have been firmware or software update or something. I lost the cwm recovery and root, and since then I can not root anymore.
I know methods and solutions in this forum might not fix it, but I was wondering if someone here could decipher why I am unable to root. I have tried every available working method and get the same results.
here it is....

This is definitly wrong here in the DEV section...
But to your problem. Gingerbread is unrootable till now, at least via one click solution like SoC, BlackJack and similar programms.
What you can do, is get the software for your device in kdz format and flash it with R&D Testtool plus Workaround.
I dont know, if this works on your device. But if it does, you should also be able to inject CWM into the update and the flash superuser.zip. Just search for cwm injection here.
Hope this at least helps a bit. You can also inject CWM into the LG update tool btw.
And pls provide some more information, if this doesnt help, like your software version.
Thread moved
Your thread had nothing to do with development, so it was moved here. Perhaps the link from this post might be of some help.
Have you tried Gingerbreak?
Worked for me...
If you want it tell me, I'll upload it for you.

Same thing happened to me flashing a Tmobile rom. To prevent this you need to go through the setting and allow unlocked bootloaders (or something like that, currently flashing my phone to look it up) but this will prevent this lock from triggering. How I got past this? Odin'd back to stock and flashed everything again.
Bro phone doesn't go to main windows how I can go to setting it's only stuck on bootloop
Have you tried flashing the stock image in odin?
Stock rom from sammobile?
Yeah, you'll need to get familar with the hardware keys and how to boot into download mode with them. Typically I'd link you with instructions but I think googling it yourself will do you some good. Do some research and be sure to answer nicely to those who offer help.
On 5.1.1 build LMY48T
When I received this phone on 16Nov I tried to let do the update to MM. It would D/L but fail in updating. (Just reboot after each try) I went ahead with 5.1.1 in unlocking and rooting with no problem. tried to allow it to update date again as it has been requesting and it now justs boots into TWRP. I wish to upgrade to MM but am stymied. Need Guru assistance.
First time around it might have been a corrupt download. Now it's because you're rooted and have TWRP installed. To be able to update through OTA your system needs to be fully stock.
To update now you need to flash a factory image (plenty of guides if you search). I recommend using fastboot, but you could also use a toolkit (Nexus Root Toolkit). If you don't want to wipe your phone, leave out the userdata image when flashing (or the "no wipe"-mode in NRT).
I did search but I have to admit I got alittle confused as there seemed to be different factory versions available. I did do updates to my Note 2 until they sneakily locked the bootloader on me (verizon Bastages) I will look at the guides more throughly now to educate myself better. Thank for the guidance.
Which one?

Either of them will work, bu to save you time, get the latest (MRA58R) because it's just going to prompt you to install those.
Following the advice my N6 is rocking MM and rooted. Thanks to all.
Awesome! Glad you got it working!
See pics. After unlocking I get a custom Android boot screen and the phone will not read any SIM. Appreciate if someone knows how to reverse this. Running Android 5.0 (can't root, install custom recovery, flash, or update from external storage).

WTH?
Did you unlock the bootloader?

No. AT&T and Verizon lock the bootloader starting with Android 5. I did find that the baseband version is "unkown", which is why the radio is not working or reading a SIM. See picture.
Hmmm
So your ril got corrupted some how is what it looks like to me.
What is "ril" the acronym for?
In any event, where can I get a stock 5.0 or higher ROM that I can hopefully flash from my sd card. All I'm seeing is 4.4.2. Apparently, the AT&T updates are OTA.
Hmmm
I'm out of town right now and can't find one on xda. Try sammobile.com. Don't try ro flash it via sdcard. Odin or adb sideload would be the way to go. I would also suggest rebooting into the built in recovery and resetting it that way.
Thank you. for the suggestions. Before posting the original thread I tried a factory re-set (volume up + home + power), as well as Odin, and neither worked.
AT&T has the bootloader locked tight on Android 5.0 and above.
Yes
That is unfortunately true. Where did you buy the phone? And do you live in the states?
Use Triangle Away apk.
It's US stock, original AT&T device. Worked fine with the exception of poor battery life after the 5.0 OTA upgrade untilit was unlocked.
