NOTE
I've created this tool to see that most of the support for the G2 you have on Windows, and little or very little under Linux. So that I started to work and this is the first dislike, it is a beta, but I have tested it and apparently everything, except low Mac works, having no system iOS not have been able to test, so you have Mac and try it can give their opinion and report possible errors.

Looks great! At last some nice looking tool for linux. Will try it tomorrow when i get my G2 back from warranty service.
Hello
I'm thinking that something would be good can Flash the stock recovery, by issue of updates via OTA.
I have an international D802, I don't have the recovery of other models, and I do not include them in the program.
Whoever has the original of these models I can post the download link here.
Thank
Hi mate!
Thank you so much! That's a great tool for Mac!
It's a must! If you have another OS.
Btw would be great if you can also add the stock recovery just in case!
Cheers!

Hi, you have to unzip the TAR inside your personal folder, if you unzip it outside it execute permissions are lost
I apologize
I have detected an error in the scrip that could cause it not to run correctly.
I'm uploading the version revised and expanded, with the "restoration EFS" included
I'm sorry but can you please post the installing instructions for mac? Also, will it work with OSX10.5.8? Thanks.

Hi oscar!
A brief explanation:
MAC, uses kernel Darwin, that means that it is UNIX, so it will operate like that on Linux, that is compatible with UNIX.
Having that clear we can say that MAC and LINUX are supported in the use of bash script, but are not supported in the use of binary, but that's the script that knows to differentiate that binary used at each time depending on your system operatrivo is where running the script (Linux or Darwin)
Instructions for use, for Mac and Linux:
- Download the file.tar.gz, unpack in your personal folder, to not make mistakes you unpack in your desktop.
- With the file manager navigate to the folder where you unpacked.
- Now it stings twice on the file menu.sh
If you do it from console:
- Open the terminal
- Browse to the folder where you unpacked
- type:
Code:
./menu.sh
If I'm wrong correct me please
Hi,
Found an error in the English version tools/re.sh line 143, you are missing an "r" in the CabFlasher module.
Additionally there is an issue flashin a recovery, did not have a chance to troubleshoot this, but you might want to have a look at loki.sh:
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot: cannot open for read: Permission denied
[+] loki_patch v2.1
[-] Failed to open /data/local/tmp/loki/aboot.img for reading.
I was trying to flash the TWRP recovery on an OPEN (d802) 32GB device.
This looks like a great tool for those of us on Linux. I am trying to root my LG G2 D801 from T*Mobile, but have already upgraded to kitkat. Will this enable me to downgrade to the Jelly Bean ROM that shipped with the phone so that I can root it?
If not, I would really appreciate being pointed to directions of how to do that. I have not had any luck in finding those.
Thanks...

Welcome bro.
Need some help
Development team! I really need some help. I have a blu life PURE (Rebrand Gionee Elife e6 - Mediatek 6589T). My last rom was COLOR OS Rom for QMobile Z4 (also rebrand Elife Gionee e6) , everything great, but I wanted to try another rom, so I flashed via CWM the rom z4Amigo for Qmobile, but it gave error status 7 on CWM, and I couldn't Install it. I already had wiped data and factory reset, now my phone is stuck on boot logo. I tried to flash other rom with SP Flash Tools, I use windows 8.1, my blu is recognized normally, but SP always gives error 8037, even if the scatters are with the same values! Now, I do not know what to do, maybe the problem is with my SP FLASH TOOLS, maybe with my Windows, I don't know, I can't mount USB storage with CWM recovery, what would save me! So, I see no solution, I would be thankfully if someone could help! Thanks in advance =)

IMEI backup/restore tool for Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500
Brought to you by AntaresOne
NOTE: This is only for Galaxy S4 with Exynos 5410, Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 version is here.
For devs: modifications & redistribution are not allowed. Contact me before including my work or any part of it in your stuff.
Explanation
What is IMEI?
Wikipedia
Why should I backup it?
When you start to mod your phone, sometimes may happen that you lose it (a bad flash, a wrong mod...) and without your phone is like this. Shortly, you lose mobile network forever.
The EFS partition itself isn't enough for a full backup, there are another 3 partititions. These are m9kefs1, m9kefs2 and m9kefs3.
Features
Complete IMEI backup
Autozipping of saved partitions
Installation
Download tool from the link below
Put the zip file in your sdcard
Reboot in recovery
Install zip from sdcard
Choose downloaded zip file
Reboot system
Usage
When installed, the "imeibkp" executable goes in /system/bin. Obviously root is a must. This is not an app, so to run it you must use Terminal Emulator. It's very user-friendly and n00b-approved (joking :laugh, normally you shouldn't run into issues while using it.
Open Terminal Emulator
Write su and press enter (this is to obtain root access)
Invoke this tool by writing imeibkp and pressing enter
To restore just invoke again imeibkp
In case you want to export your backup, it is in /sdcard/IMEIBackup and called IMEIBackup.zip (Internal Memory on PC through USB connection)
If you change ROM you'll lose this tool (you'll not lose a backup already made), in this case just follow again Installation steps

Hi, great tool, congrats!
One question: when I install some roms I lose the IMEI, but it can be recovered reinstalling an official one.... do you think I can restore an IMEI on a different rom other than the one from where it was backed up?

ROM OS Version: 5.0.x Lollipop
Version Information
Status: Stable
Created 2015-01-19
Last Updated 2015-07-05
F.A.Q.
All Variants but laking ISAI? Why?
- ISAI made for different market, which use different hardware, it doesnt have same G2 specs like others so NO, it's not supported.
How I know if I have KK bootloader?
- If you're using a stock base LP ROM with a working TWRP then you have KK bootloader already, if not, then you may be using JB bootloader. Simply use AutoRec V2 to have it.
Can I upgrade to this ROM from other LP ROM?
- Yes, but I recommend to flash your latest kdz/tot first, then root, install TWRP (AutoRec V2) and flash the ROM.
Can I dirty flash the ROM?
- You can dirty flash if u're using my previous version, but if anything wrong, a clean flash before reporting is a must.
LS/VS980 fully working?
- Its mainly made for GSM only. If you're using CDMA and wanna try, go for it but dont report any issue here. Btw, LS980 NFC removed till I can get my hands on the device.
I'm stuck at Setup Wizard screen, there's no buttons for back or next?
- It's a minor issue caused by latest Google Service, happen when you cant connect to their server by wifi/data during the init setup. Just rotate the phone and you can skip that step. Sound weird, I know
Can I flash a custom kernel?
- Sure, u can use any custom kernel that support LG stock Lollipop.
Can I use Xposed with this ROM?
- Yes, when you flash the ROM, there's an option in Aroma: "Xposed support" (which will remove your QuickCover feature) then follow Xposed for Lollipop for the installation guide.
Special Thanks

Is this just for F320 or for all variants ? Your installation instructions are "Choose your variant in Aroma"...
...and a a big step for humanity fan of LG G2! YEAH!!
That's really big and nice news. thanks a lot.
Can't wait until my LS980 gets the update
I think it must be CloudyG3 3.0 (MD5: 955e0bf78f8747de2d372058347848f1)

Too slow link please provide any mirror link. Fshare is very slow cant download.
Thanks a lot for your work.
Mark, wait for sprint update.
And this ROM for F320 is KK bootloader?
@Cloudyfa - there's been a lot of questions whether the new Android 5.0 ROM for the G2 exposes the Camera2 API. My initial conversations with the people who had the alpha versions of this update is that no, camera2 API is not enabled. Since I dont have this device, I cannot check - can you clarify if the camera2 API is working ?
An easy way to do that is to install lcamera - but also need to get debug output
If you want to verify, enable verbose output outlined in the "Debugging" section below, and check the output from logcat. You should see a dump of your device cameras' capabilities like this when L Camera is started. Your camera's android.request.availableCapabilities must include 1 (MANUAL_SENSOR), 2 (MANUAL_POST_PROCESSING) and 3 (RAW) for L Camera to work.

The Qualcomm variant of Galaxy S4 doesn't have IMEI stored in EFS as most people think, it's stored in another place. Partitions to backup/restore are 8, each is required by the system to have IMEI. These are: EFS (there is IMEI's country code), modemst1, modemst2, m9kefs1, m9kefs2, m9kefs3, backup and fsg. It doesn't do miracles, so if you lose IMEI and don't have a backup, you're lost.
Features
Complete IMEI backup
Autozipping of saved partitions
Installation
Download tool from the link below
Put the zip file in your sdcard
Reboot in recovery
Install zip from sdcard
Choose downloaded zip file
Reboot system
Usage
When installed, the "imeibkp" executable goes in /system/bin. Obviously root is a must. This is not an app, so to run it you must use Terminal Emulator. It's very user-friendly and n00b-approved (joking :laugh, normally you shouldn't run into issues while using it.
Open Terminal Emulator
Write su and press enter (this is to obtain root access)
Invoke this tool by writing imeibkp and pressing enter
To restore just invoke again imeibkp
In case you want to export your backup, it is in /sdcard/IMEIBackup and called IMEIBackup.zip (Internal Memory on PC through USB connection)
If you change ROM you'll lose this tool (you'll not lose a backup already made), in this case just follow again Installation steps

Excellent, it works fine this time. :good:
Tool is very much appreciated. Is there another way to install this(and other tools), other than rebooting to recovery?
Thanks.
I am guessing this won't work on i337m?

I just tried that(cat /proc/cmdline) and somewhere in the middle of all the info that came up, I saw samsung.hardware=SGH-I337M. When I run imeibkp I get:
unknown device! GT-I9295 , GT-I9505....SGH-I337 is required
Also tells me busybox not found(not sure if that is required)
Thank You so much DEVS for your time and efforts for all of us in the Android community!!
Thank You for your awesome work!! works flawlessly.:good:
I didn't realize the i337 and i337M were so different that this very useful tool can't work on the M version.

@AntaresOne
I'll attach the output of my commands here as a zip to make it easier for you. I have the i337M version.
AFAIK i337 is the bootloader locked AT&T version and i337m is the Canadian version with unlocked bootloader but no other differences.
Thx for making this tool and now fixing it for us Canadian galaxy s4 users !
Cheers
//edit
The zip name isn't the best lol there's no actual imei files included, only the output of the 2 commands your asked for
Update!
Now compatible with SGH-I337M
Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934537090
Ya thanks i337m user here. I had to CD to the system/bin to get the command to run

how did you flash it? can you please guide me because I can't find install zip from sdcard in stock recovery, I'm on AT&T i337 on NJ4 build.
Thank you
I’m writing this because I had to go to so many different threads to finally get what I needed to get this phone running LineageOS. Credit to all who posted those guides & tools, this is just a cheat sheet for those having difficulties if you are running 30e firmware or above.
I’ve hosted all the links on my own server for convenience.
1) Download LG Flash Tool
2) Download D85130d_00_0404.kdz
3) Enable USB Debugging & Power down your phone
4) Hold Volume Up while plugging in your USB cable (you should now be in download mode)
5) Open LG Flash Tool & choose the following: (Using D85130d_00_0404.kdz)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
6) After the phone reboots, re-enable unknown sources
7) Install KingRoot (I like to Disable & Force Stop the Lookout App. before doing this step).
8) Install TWRP Manager & BusyBox (from play store) – Note – I had to use BusyBox Pro & Smart install, as the free version kept crashing, your luck might differ.
9) Install TWRP from the TWRP Manager...
All Done, from TWRP, always make a backup first thing, wipe and your good to go.
(On the d851, to boot into TWRP from a powered off phone, you hold volume down + power until the LG logo appears, then release the buttons and re-press both of them down until TWRP loads up)
One thing you should always do on the Stock ROM, before installing a Custom ROM, is turn on "Device Only" GPS and get a fix in Google Maps (as sometimes it won't ever work until you do this in Stock).
If you are installing Lineage, here are some additional Links:
LineageOS (d851)
Root Add-on for Lineage
OpenGapps (ARM, 7.1, Nano)
** If for some reason any of the links are broken above, all of the files are on my ownCloud here:
http://bailx.com/owncloud/index.php/s/Z33EuU0CKW4uCxk?path=/Linux/Droid/d851
Heres my speedtest (running mullvad vpn on an r7000 router running tomato) not bad at all
Anyone please suggest stock based MM rom for d851 stable,debloated,rooted. Thanks

I am also finding this Solution.
What Android version 4.4 or 5.0 or 6.0 is the Kd file that flash with LG flash tool?
Is the Kdz file size correct 3.4Mb only? thank you for the guide.
I bought two of the G3 D851 one come with Kitkat 4.4.2 (I got updated to 5.0) and other one come with Marshallow 6.0 rom. I haven't root or anything except got the official update on the one that come with Kitkat 4.4.2 so i updated it.
Is there a good stock rom for this device? anyone have any suggestion which rom we can flash?
I found LG Flash Tool 2014 is not working any more for flash KDZ file go back to stock or downgrade/upgrade. LGUP is working better for go back to stock flash KDZ file. I bought G3 it came with Marshallow I looked everywhere but did not find any method working except use LGUP tool to downgrade or upgrade:
Download from this Vietnamese tread, it's working I flashed KDZ to downgraded from MM to Kitkat (D85010C firmware). It should work with other firmware LP 5.0 or MM 6.0.
http://lgviet.com/forum/threads/tut-nang-cap-ha-cap-rom-stock-bang-lgup.52437/
For install the tool you just need to run the two Msi files, comport should be under port 41 under device manager I think. LG Mobile driver (LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0_001.exe ) should also install before LGUP tool.
Simple instruction include in readme text file with the LGUP zip file. For KDZ fine when first open LGUP you might not able to browse for it, close LGUP and copy/move KDZ file you want to flash to the same directory as LGUP tool (C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\8974). Open LGUP again it should show KDZ file, for downgrade just choose refurbish it should work it take 2-3 minutes to flash it. Once the phone reset and start setup you can unplug the phone from the computer.
D85130g
Can somebody confirm this works coming from the latest D85130g firmware?
G3 Downgrade Information
Is the following statement True or False:
Because I am currently running LG G3 software version D85130g, I cannot flash my phone with a custom ROM from the likes of LineageOS, Resurrection, Liquid or XenonHD without downgrading first?
30G can be downgraded using this guide

I have 30G installed at it gets stalled and stops at 2%. The log says TYPE_WPARAM_UPGRADE_ERROR Then upsate stopped due to an error. I have tried all drivers available, all ports on my my, and half of the com ports. Seriously LG Flash Tool and LGUP are a joke. This 30d kdz also doesn't work on LGUP. And how come it's only like 3mb in size?

I think it's corrupt. I have a mirror for it a few posts up. It's supposed to be around 1gb in size
do we leave country and language default or change...
edit: left default, went perfect
Hello. Which who's guide are you talking about? Thanks in advance
