How to Get LG Flash Tool Working on Windows 10

As a proud owner of an LG G2, I recently found myself in a panic situation where my phone had bricked and I couldn't recover it using the LG Flash tool. After trying various remedies and scouring through XDA threads, I finally managed to get my device working again with some trial and error.

For those who are experiencing similar issues with their LG devices on Windows 10, here's a step-by-step guide that might help you resolve the problem.

Firstly, it's essential to understand that the LG Flash tool is a powerful software that requires careful handling. To avoid any potential risks, make sure you have backed up all your data and settings before proceeding with the recovery process.

To start with, I had to generate the partitions and partition.txt files using BoardDiag 3.99c. This step was crucial in erasing the device completely and re-writing all partitions one by one. It's a bit of a lengthy process, but it's necessary to ensure that your device is restored to its factory settings.

Next, I had to disassemble my phone, remove the battery, and shorten the capacitors near the Toshiba processor (almost 20 times for all partitions). This might sound like an intimidating task, but trust me, it's essential in putting your device into the 'Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008' mode.

Once I had successfully entered this mode, I used the LG Flash tool to erase my phone and install the stock LG Android OS. The process was a bit slow-going, especially when it reached 60% completion. However, I knew that if I let it continue, the device would eventually download the kdz file and install the OS.

But here's the thing - you need to be patient and ignore any dialog boxes or error messages that pop up during the process. If you click 'OK' on a dialog box, the application will exit, and you'll have to start all over again.

After several attempts, I finally managed to get my phone working again using the LG Flash tool. Here are some key takeaways from my experience:

* Make sure you select the correct option in step 1 of the LG Flash tool. If you're not using a US Verizon/Sprint version of the phone, choose something other than CDMA.

* Be patient and don't click 'OK' on any dialog boxes or error messages that appear during the process.

* If you're experiencing issues with the CSE Flash tool, try replacing the msvcr100.dll and msvcp100.dll files with newer versions.

I hope this guide helps anyone who is struggling to get their LG device working again using the LG Flash tool on Windows 10. Remember to stay calm, patient, and persistent, and you'll be back up and running in no time.
