lg g2 lollipop kdz firmware

Good news for everyone who owns an LG G2 with D802 model number. LG has officially released the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for all LG G2 (D802) users and it can be flashed by everyone because it is a KDZ file. KDZ are the files that contain the firmware for LG devices.

Someone noticed the new files on the LG servers and realized that they were based on Android 5.0 Lollipop and were for the LG G2 variant. This means that LG is starting to take software updates seriously. At first, the company released the Lollipop firmware for the LG G3within one month and now, it has seeded the Lollipop KDZ firmware for the old flagship device, the LG G2.

The LG G2 is one of the most popular phones from LG that has increased the popularity of the company by offering a unique design with buttons on the back and the latest hardware possible. When the phone was originally launched in August of 2013, it came with Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. A software release updated the phone to Android 4.4 KitKat.

Now it is time to update your phone to the greatest and latest Android 5.0 Lollipop firmware. Since the update is in the form of KDZ file, you need to have a flashing tool. Follow the guide below to learn everything you need to flash Lollipop on your phone.

  1. hi i have two questions. First, i come from a aosp lollipop ROM, can i still install the KDZ with no problem? Second, is there a way to root the newest version?. Thanks in advance

  3. So, basically I can flash any KDZ file if it is intended for the d802 version, right? Doesn’t matter if it’s the black or white version? Also, there are versions like V30A and V30D and probably there will be V30B and V30C? I don’t want to brick my phone… So, does it cause problems if I install one of the roms no matter the version of the rom? I have the D802 16 GB version btw.

  5. Can you explain what to do with the other options in the flash tool? Just leave them untouched or what? Also, what do I do after I’ve clicked CSE Flash? Press start now? Could you please explain in more detail?

  9. Hey Ronaldo,
    I have a question concerning getting into download mode. I am following your instructions – Volume + pressed and than I connect USB cable but the only thing I get is LG logo and after that battery status. Am I doing something wrong or missed some step?
    Edit: LG G2 D802 [not branded]

      • I also have this issue,I’m press Volume + button,THEN connect the USB and all i can see is LG logo then the battery

      • I also have this problem, I’m holding volume up while plugging in the phone, the LG logo appears then it shows me the battery indicator, all while I’m holding the button

  11. Does these roms for Vodafone have Vodafone’s bloatware or they are clean? I have 32GB D802 and i don’t want Vodafone’s apps since they are not my carrier.

  15. is this KDZ file support greek networks like COSMOTE and WIND or only vodafone?
    and if it is not you khow where i can find any global or EU kdz for all networks?
    thanks a lot for this work
    my friendly regards

          • Σ’ευχαριστώ πολύ φίλε μου. Έχω το LG G2 D802 με Software version D80220d-222-10 (δεν ξέρω αν έχει σημασία αυτό) και από τη σελίδα που μου έδωσες κατεβάζω την Europe Open D80230b.kdz. Όλες οι άλλες είναι διαφόρων άλλων χωρών οπότε θεωρώ οτι αυτη θα είναι ΟΚ.

          • Τίποτα φίλε μου να σαι καλά … Δεν νομίζω να έχεις θέμα με αυτή την έκδοση.. αλλά και να έχεις ενημερωτικά υπάρχουν και άλλες εκδόσεις. Από άλλες χώρες όπως Ιταλία νομίζω και ίσως Ινδια δουλεύουν αρκετά ίδιες συχνότητες με τα δικά μας.

      • I am use it about 4 days nice ui nice performance.thanks a lot sir.
        With root and greenify the battery life is very good.

  19. Hi, Ronaldo! I did exactly everything you wrote here, but, unfortunately, an error happened in 28%, after recognition and the phone’s checking. When the download progress hits 28% (I believe this is the third step)… 🙁

        refurbish D802 in market. Try to find out which phone u have first by removing the back of ur phone…

        • Than bro thanx for the great information i just removed the back cover of my g2 it was written d800 🙁 not d802 so it means when i got this g2 the back cover was i had it was for d802 cs :(and the phone was d800 and i tried this method on d800 and my phone got brick 🙁 wish i should have checked this phone nicely before buying

          • Its not ita not your fault bro, market is a full of refurbished phones, just remember do not purchase Samsung htc or lg from market who says its imported and all that shit.
