This is the easy way to restore your international G2 to original state like it was from the store.
This will wipe/restore everything including kernel, recovery and such. All your files will be gone too.
Here we go:
Make sure you have drivers installed from lg website.
Charge your phone fully so you dont risk anything.
Download mobile support tool from lg website.
Find your IMEI and write it down somewhere.
Now turn off the phone and then put it into download mode by holding VOL+ while connecting USB to phone (while the other end is connected to pc))
In the mobile support tool go to "more settings" (1st option in top right corner) and there select "upgrade restore" (3rd option)
Now select the second option and put in you IMEI and start
Now this will take verry long time while it downloads the firmware about 1.9GB and installs it on the phone.
After everything is done turn off your phone by holding the power button for a long time. Then hold VOL- and PWR to get in to restore mode and there confirm with power button.
The phone will reboot and you will see the welcome screen to put in your logins and everything else.
Thanks to the original tipster "wargreymon" on the swedish android forum swedroid. This is basicly just a translation. Have a nice day.
Does it work on the international model? Also is there any traces of it been rooted ever?
I don't want to have problems with OTA later on.

1) Read the first sentence in the OP as many times as necessary until you see your answer.
2) "Rooted" will disappear.

Hey there! So, here's the trouble. Last july I bought an LG P760 from Orange Romania. I don't think the phone was blocked, altough it had installed some apps from Orange. So... It had 4.0.3, I upgraded it to 4.1.2 OTA in September 2013. In november, I've discovered the LGPwn.apk, so I had root too. Today, I tought: "Hm, if I have root, why don't I have a custom ROM?". So, the first step was to instal a CWM Recovery, and I succeded. It worked. But, there's the problem coming: I read that I had to do a backup from recovery, so I did, but it failed at /system(I think I was running low on memory). So, nothing happened, but when I plugged the phone into my computer, I saw that there were only 60MB left of memory. I deleted the CWM backup, but even then there were like idk ~100mb free. So... why not a factory reset... but not from CWM, you know, from that option in Settings -> Backup and Restore... So I clicked it, and the phone reboots, but right after the reboot, I see the LG logo, and under it it's the SECURITY ERROR. I can't go to download mode, I can't go to recovery, and the logo keeps for like 20 seconds, then the phone shuts down. Can anybody help me, please? Thank you!
search for B2CAppSetup, run it then connect your phone in sw upgrade mode (hold volume down while connecting it), then it will install the latest available rom to your phone. so don't worry your phone is not dead at all.

Okay, it works to go into the SW Mode, but when I launch the LG Upgrade Tool, first of all it says that my software version is up to date, afterwards I try to get into the "Update Recovery", but it gets stuck at "Veryfing phone settings", what should I do?

in B2CAppSetup there is an option in the upper right side, I guess it's 'troubleshooting' (I used it in my own language that's why I'm not sure, but it's the only one), and click on Override update problems or something like that.. it will do its job.

Hi guys, I am new to this rooting thing and android/samsung in general. I bought this Galaxy S5 as a gift for a relative in Vietnam because she is paying about $200 total in monthly payments for a Galaxy S3. I have tried searching the forums too but I can't find the answers I am looking for.
It is model SM-G900T Android 6.0.1
I can go into download mode and all that but the root files I have (ODIN)don't work, it just goes back to the "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" screen.
I think my root failed because I was watching tutorials on how to root it from like a year ago. I am trying to get a language pack for this phone so I can change it to Vietnamese. Can anyone link me the proper procedures and download links? I'll pay you like $20 in paypal if it works... Please assist, thanks!
Pull the Back of the Phone off, Remove the battery Verify you have a SM-G900T and not a G900T1 or G900T3. Look at the battery to see if it was Made in China too (as a precaution)
You need to Go back to the Stock ROM of the phone, Get Odin Version 3.11.1, ff you don't have the samsung driver already, get it, then get the Android Version you had-What ever baseband it was before you goofed it up. Put the Phone into download mode -Press and Hold Volume Down, Home Button, and then Press and Hold Power until you see the the Download option, then hit install ROM, Hook Phone Up to a computer and then Run Odin and select the ROM on the AP button
once that is done,
follow these directions to the T
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...l/root-how-to-root-sm-g900t-firmware-t3358190
.
You will need to do a carrier unlock to the phone to work in other countries since this phone is designed to work in the US only.

Hey bro, is there a way to see which baseband I have if I cant check it on my device? If I can't, is it possible to try every stock rom until I get the correct one or will I just mess it up more?

since your phone is goofed up, I would verify if you have a SM-G900T or G900T1, etc go to sammobile.com and enter SM-G900T, T1 etc which ever phone you have, just grab a 4.4.2 Version, enter download mode and open up ODIN

Hello, sorry If I am being bothersome but I did what you told me. The phone boots now but it's stuck at the "T-Mobile 4G LTE" screen (screen before it goes into the lock/swipe screen). How long should it stay there?

if it doesnt boot up in 15 minutes, put the phone into stock recovery by shutting off the phone, press and hold the volume up key, home key and power key until it says recovery, once there wipe the cache and also do a factory reset.
then the phone should boot, leave it be at that point

If you have an SD Card installed, try removing the SD card and then booting the phone.
If that works... then I bet you have a Samsung 128GB MicroSD card???? (if not, maybe another brand 128GB card?)
It seems that there is something in the 7.1.1 boot sequence for the Moto Z's that is hanging during the mount of the SD Card when it is a Samsung 128GB card. Removal of the SD allows a successful boot up.
Once boot up is complete, you should be able to insert the SD card (without rebooting the phone) and the phone will see the SD card and the "missing SD" notification will go away and the phone will function as it always has. It seems that unless Motorola/Lenovo release a patch for this issue, that your only options are 1) remove SD during every reboot, or 2) purchase a different SD card (Motorola seems to recommend SanDisk).
No there is no SD card. The phone is stuck on bootloader.
I had the same issue, stuck on bootloader and error saying recovery could not be read. I rebooted a few times and it eventually went away. Problem is that now my phone acts REALLY weird. And the Software Assistant does NOTHING to help out. It doesn't detect the phone in regular mode and in fastboot, it says everything is fine and doesn't let me restore.
I have a feeling the OTA had a problem installing and a clean slate is the only way to fix it. The only issue is that I can't find a copy of an XT1560-02 ROM anywhere, only other variants.
I had the same issue after update. Recovery could not be validated. I removed the SD card and boom perfect boot. I just hope the issue gets patched soon, would hate to have to carry that Lil key around for if I need a reboot to remove SD card before boot
Same issue. But instead of removing sd card. Just go into recovery mode and wipe cache.
Works
This helped me. If you can fastboot, this may solve your problem:

Well, i lost my warranty now too.
If anyone could help, pls help us. If anyone know how to pass that step in BL, pls tell us...

Maybe you could provide more information. Have you been on Stock 7.1.1 and tried to unlock your bootloader without allowing Oem Unlocking in developer options? What is the current state of your device, means are you able to get into recovery mode?
7.1.1 Original Stock - Not Allowed OEM Unlocking
Everything was great, but a week ago the cellphone it restarted itself, and never back: It's stuck in bootloop.
I get it with Android 6.0, and i was upgrading via Ota until 1th July, which that means it's 7.1.1 Rom Stock
Cause i wanted have my cellphone pure, i didnt touch anything(I didn't want loose my warranty), so i'm never check to allow "oem unlocking"
Now, warranty doesn't help me because i bought it in Italia, and im living in Argentina now, and they said taht they have Local Warranty.
So, i tried to solved it by my self... I did it with my old phones but they were cheap, so i think is it that why i never have ear about Reset Software Factory Protection.
Brief:
Original Stock 7.1.1
Yes, i tried unlock BL without Allow OEM Unlocking
Yes, i can get in BootLoader and in fastboot without problem
Thank You very much
Maybe a factory reset might help. Switch off your phone. By holding the power button and the volume down button you get into bootloader mode. Tap volume up until you see recovery. Press power to confirm. (If you see the little green android, hold the power button for 2 sec and then press volume up) In the recovery menue select factory reset, if you choose with data wipe, be aware that you'll lose all your data. After that reboot your system. Hopefully it will boot up and you can set it up from scratch.
I did it.

1. What happens, if pull out the ext sd-card and then reboot?
2. Which version of stock rom did you download?
3. Download and install RSD-lite on your pc

Start RSD-lite on your pc.
Then put your device in bootloader mode and connect it to your pc. Does RSD-lite show, that your device is connected?

That's good. (Sorry for the late reply, it was late and i fell asleep).
As i understood you purchased the device in italy and now you live permantly in argentina. Where did you take the 7.1.1 OTA, in Italy or in Argentina?
With the help of RSD we could try to restore your firmware. Not sure if it works for you in Argentina.
1. Download the NPL25...RETBR stockfirmware from here on your pc https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/griffin/official/RETBR/
2. Extract the zip and search for this file: flashall.xml and remember where to find it.
3. Run RSD on your pc
4. Reinsert your simcard (not the sdcard). Put your moto z into bootloader mode and connect it with your pc. Wait until it gets recognized.
4. Click the three little dots in RSD (left beneath the start button). Now search the flashall.xml file and double click. It will be added to the command field.
5. Click start.
RSD should now flash the firmware onto your device. This takes about 10 minutes. Wait untill your moto reboots completely and you get a PASS notification in RSD.
Hope it works. If not, we have to try plan B.

There is still no RETEU 7.0 available, thats why you have to flash the RETBR.
Try again to flash the RETBR NPL25..firmware with RSD. If you'll get the same failed error message, here is
PLAN B:
Copy the flashall.xml file and rename it to flashallcopy.xml.
Open the copied file with a text editor and delete the 2 lines with "gpt" and "bootloader" in it. Save it and close the copy. With this the RSD program will skip those two commands. Click the 3 dots and add the flashallcopy.xml file to RSD. Click Start.
If that doesn't work, we have to run Plan C
Good luck

I think that the correct is the volume down…
Power + volume up should boot into system recovery ("no command" displayed). I haven't tried it and now I'm afraid to as the phone is already set up ? If it wipes without confirmation, it's definitely a bug.
It's also happened with me
Sapper Morton said:
Usually it wipes when you try to change slot to an old firmware version, it can be avoided, as explained by Typhus in other threads; however I never seen a factory reset obligation while completely stock, we need more info to be sure. As of now, I can access stock recovery as usual.

Phone should ask you if you want to wipe data after 3(5?) unsuccessful boot attempts (corrupted data or trying to boot old incompatible rom in second slot). At least this was the case on Mi A1. I'll try the behavior when I get another A3 phone.

I'm not sure how to intentionally corrupt data partition, while bootloader is locked; any tips for testing purposes?

It happened to me on A1 when I booted Oreo system after update to Pie. I forgot to turn off Oreo Substratum overlays before updating the phone. After the update, I was getting constant SystemUI crash, so thought that I'll fix it by booting Oreo slot and uninstall the overlays. Well, it didn't go well.. after a few failed boot attempts (Oreo and then also Pie) system asked me if I want to perform full data wipe to recover the phone, which I did [emoji846]
So maybe similar approach by booting previous Android version might be tried once this phone gets Android 10 update..?
Yeah! Bro ,
(Same pinch) - same thing happened with me also when I tried to boot my phone into recovery mode
It directly formatted unknowingly and
no options were displayed onto the screen
It directly got formatted without giving any warnings
A animated circel logo & A message apeared on my screen
:- Erasing...
And that's it , I got very much scared
But what is the use of being afraid now, what was to happen has happened
