STEP 2: INITIALIZE DRIVERS
  1. Boot your LG G2 into Download Mode:
    • Power off your phone first and wait for 6-7 seconds after display is off.
    • Press Volume Up while plugging the device to the PC using an USB cable.
      └  If this doesn’t boot you into download mode, try holding both  the Volume keys instead.
  2. Let the phone initialize and install the drivers. Once done, open Device manager on your PC, you should see the LG phone listed under COM ports section.
  3. Find that LG entry in Device Manager, Right click on it and select Properties, now click on Port Settings tab and select the advanced button.

STEP 3: SETTING UP LG FLASH TOOLS

You must do a few tricks to make the LG flash tools work on your PC to flash the firmwares on your device

  1. Set the computer’s date to some time in July 2012 or before.
  2. Disconnect the internet connection from your PC temporarily.
  3. Activate the LG Flash Tools by purchasing it or find a serial number or register key from somewhere on the web (a google search for Lg Flash Tools serial will yield some results).
  4. Run the LG Flash Tools software. It will ask for a key, enter a valid key to activate the software.
STEP 4: FLASHING FIRMWARE
  1. Now to flash the firmware on your device, select the dll and TOT files that you have downloaded earlier for your device in the LG flash tool Model Config dialog box when it prompts.
  2. Click on the yellow arrow on the top left corner of the LG flash tools to initialize the flashing process. Once initialized it should show you Ready/Finished.
  3. Put the phone in download mode again, and plug it into the USB port. LG FLash Tools should start flashing it automatically.
  4. When it’s done, it’ll automatically reboot into your stock rom and all of your data and internal SD card files are formatted.
