A few days back, AT&T started the rollout of much-awaited Android 5.0 Lollipop software update for LG G2 (D800). The update is available to download via Firmware Over The Air (FOTA) and requires Wi-Fi to update. The update installs v5.0.2 of Lollipop and updates LG G2 from software version D80020y to D80030f.
Luckily, it removes some of the bloatware which includes: Browser Bar, Famigo, AT&T Code Scanner, and Beats Music. There are still a lot of pre-installed apps that you can choose to disable. What’s great is that this major update doesn’t impact your phone settings or data but AT&T recommends users backup their contacts and files.
Users on AT&T network can simply check for the update from: All Settings > General > About phone > Software update > Update Now. But as the updates are pushed in batches, it may take some time to appear on your device. In case you’ve purchased a factory unlocked AT&T LG G2 (like me in India), then you won’t get the Lollipop OTA update on your G2 unless you’re using an AT&T SIM card on your phone. That’s really disappointing but don’t worry, we’ve you covered!
Follow the below stated step-by-step procedure to install the official Lollipop OTA update on your LG G2 (D800) from AT&T without the need to wait for an FOTA update or their SIM card. I’ve tried it on my AT&T G2 in India and it worked like a charm. The guide may look uneasy but once you follow all steps carefully, you can easily update your phone without any issues. All the apps and data remain intact.
Disclaimer: Try this guide at your own risk! We won’t be responsible if you break it.
NOTE: This guide is meant ONLY for the AT&T version of LG G2 with model no. D800. DO NOT try it on any other variant of LG G2 as that may brick your device.
- Make sure your phone is charged
- Proceed with extreme caution and follow each step correctly
- Back up all of your data (just in case, always safe to be cautious than sorry!)
Requirements: LG G2-D800 running Stock recovery and Android 4.4.2 (D80020y) Stock ROM
Guide to Update LG G2 (D800) to Official Android 5.0.2 Lollipop OS using Windows
Step 1 – Make sure your device is rooted.
To Root D800 running Android 4.4.2 (20y), download Stump Root v1.2.0 and install via APK. Run Stump root and tap on Grind. If it says device not supported then select the bruteforce option and wait for the message saying ‘Please reboot to root’. When you see a reboot message, restart your phone.
Then install the ‘SuperSU‘ app from Google Play and update the app via the Normal option. Reboot when asked. You can verify root by installing the ‘Root Checker’ app. Then Uninstall StumpRoot.
Step 2 – Download and install ‘LG United Mobile Drivers’ on your Windows system.
Step 3 – Download the official LG G2 D800 AT&T Lollipop update FOTA.zip file (Size: 695 MB). Extract the zip file to a folder on your computer. The fota folder should have a dlpkgfile file sized 726MB.
Step 4 – Install the ES File Explorer app on your phone.
- Open the app, tap the hamburger icon > go to Tools and enable the “Root Explorer” option. Grant it root permission when asked.
- From menu, go to Local > Device /cache/ directory.
- Copy the dlpkgfile file from your computer into the /fota folder on phone.
- Open the properties of dlpkgfile and change its permissions to 666 as shown. (This file gets deleted after the update.)
- Go to /cache/recovery and change the permissions of the Recovery folder to 777 as shown. (If /cache/recovery folder does not exist, create it. This folder is automatically removed after the update.)
Step 5 – “Enable USB Debugging” from Developer options.
- Then connect the phone to the computer via USB cable. (Select USB mode as MTP)
- You’ll see the Allow USB debugging? prompt on your device as shown. Select OK to accept.
Step 6 – Proceed with Flashing Lollipop OTA –
- Download ADB package and extract it to the ‘adb_fastboot’ folder on the desktop.
- Right-click the’ adb_fastboot’ folder while holding down the Shift key. Then select ‘Open command window here’.
- In CMD, type adb devices to make sure your device is connected over ADB.
- Then enter adb shell and hit enter.
- Enter the below command: (Tip: Copy and paste the command in CMD by right-clicking)
su
echo “–update_package=/cache/fota/dlpkgfile” > /cache/recovery/command
Important: After giving this command, you’ll see a pop-up on phone, ADB shell asking for root access. Grant it SU permission.
- Then run the below command and hit enter. Wait for a while and the phone should reboot and start updating. (Note: If nothing happens on phone, re-enter the command and it should work.)
am start -n com.lge.lgfota.permission/com.
lge.lgfota.permission.DmcEzUpdateStart
Wait patiently while the phone updates to Lollipop and optimizes the apps. You can verify the update installation by going to About phone > Software info. Enjoy Lollipop on your G2. 🙂
Here are a few screenshots:
Note: After updating, if your photos don’t show up in the gallery then just take a photo and the media should appear normally like before. You will lose root after updating.
Do let us know if you’ve any questions. 🙂

Hi, the battery life is better or worst? Any bug in this rom? Thanks!
on step 3, I tried to download FOTA.zip file , it said you have found a page that doesn\’t exist. Can you fix that? Thank you.
The page is up, try again.
it tells me to do a captcha then when i do it goes to the same page.
what do i do?
I solved that same issue by going to that page using Firefox instead of Chrome.
mayur….i updated to lollipop following your steps,,,,now one aap still demands permission from super su….can you help me to resolve it,,,,,is there any way to root my device with lollipop….plz reply
would you please tell me how to convert d80020u–>d80020y
this work for me. big thanks
Dear Mayur,
After updating, my google app is not working
Hi I know its been a long time since you posted this. My device says its 20u not 20y can i use this or is there another update I need to do.
Pls can this process be done from d80010d(4.2) or must i have to be on d80020y(4.4) for it to work?
No, you must have to be on 20y for this. You can first install the 20y OTA using same method and then proceed.
When you did the fota did you have xposed framework install? Trying to figure out if that may be cause of error
There are TOT files that you can flash without the dlpkgfile method, using LGFlashTool and the proper dll for you device will be much easier for bringing your device to 20y from 20d.
err:0x1117008 so sad
err:0x1117008 same here , whats the solution ?
Me too help
Did you ever get it working?
make sure you are on stock kitkat d80020y when performing this update.
Okay, do you have a working link for the 4.4.2 20y file.. if yes pls share
You’re really on a very old version, at least have your device running on 20c.
So I can update lollipop from 20c or i need 20y because I can\’t get 20y on my 20c for some reason
No, you need to be running 20y to update to lollipop using above procedure.
Check this link M8 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663369
I am unable to update when phones restarts it there is a message on status bar \”software update fail\” please help..
i updated 20y first using this method..
HI Mayur,
The link to FOTA.zip file is down again. Can you please fix it? Thanks
err:0x1111004 during updating.
how fix it?
Yeah, I got the same error. Anyone knows how to fix this?
Try this: First install USB drivers from step #2, then install LG mobile support tool and run it. Then try updating your device using it.
first i rooted my phone, installed driver, lg support tool, then all the steps for d80020u to 20y file, still getting error (err0x1111004)
help me out
Make sure you are fully updated and have the D80020y already!
The link for the FOTA file is down again, can you update it. Thanks!!
Link updated
link is not working
I keep getting \”Unfortunately com.lge.permission has stopped.\” after I enter the last command. Help please!
Make sure you changed permissions for the said files in ES File Explorer and grant root access after giving the first command (refer the screenshots).
Remove \”su\” from this command \”su
echo “–update_package=/cache/fota/dlpkgfile” > /cache/recovery/command\”
fota download link not working… please fix .. thank you
Can I update my lg with this method from d80020u (4.4.2)?
Yes, but you first need to update it from 20u to 20y. Download this OTA file 20u -> 20y http://d-h.st/auPE and follow the above procedure to update it to 20y. Then continue same process with the Lollipop OTA file.
i dont have a recovery folder in step 4. why my phone doesnt have & what do i do ?
If /cache/recovery folder does not exist, create it. And change its permissions to 777. This folder is automatically removed after the update.
Thanks man! it worked :)))))))))
Thank god that it finally worked for someone. 🙂 Btw, what you were missing earlier that was stopping it?
So did anyone get successful results??? Everyone is commenting about some error..too risky!!
You need to follow every step carefully as stated and it will work. I’ve tried it myself on my phone. Let me know if you need any help.
I do not have a \”recovery folder\” in Cache to complete step 4. Is this essential?
I got the message “software update fail”
I followed every step and still got Error :0x1117008. What do i do now?
Try uninstalling Stump Root app. We need to uninstall it after installing SuperSU. I forgot to add that step, updated now.
I got the same error
uninstalled stump root still same error
Yes guys this works if you follow all the steps!
Also i only checked on my Lg g2 D800 which is At&t unlocked.
(Y)
Thank you so much. This worked like a charm. Amazing tutorial. I was unable to get the update since I\’m using a different SIM and every time I checked for update it showed \”sim not registered\”. Thanks again. Keep up the great work 🙂
Glad that you got it working. Cheers! 🙂
I have tried everything, I get to the point where the install on the phone starts, then I get the Error :0x1117008. Followed instructions to the T. Phone is unlocked and rooted (not using stump root).
Hi. I tried the update my LG D800 with the methods above. It worked and got to 100% on the 2/2 update and it has been stuck there ever since. Turning off the phone and turning it on returns the phone to the same 100% screen. I tried hard reset but it is still the same. Please help, I\’m freaking out
That’s strange. I’ve to look into that.
After a long period being stuck on 100%, I tried to reboot myself but it still did not work. I tried hard reset but it did not work. Then a friend told me his LG G3 lollipop update was also stuck at 100% for a long time and it later rebooted and updated. So I turned on my G2 and let it be. It stayed stuck for quite and while and then it rebooted on its own. And right now I have 5.0.2 working! Others should note that if the update seems stuck at 100%, allow it for a while, it will eventually work.
Performance is very good but charging is terribly slow!!! So slow that sometimes when the phone is under heavy use, the battery actually drains even when plugged in. That is the only issue I have noticed for now. Thanks
That’s why I said be patient as sometimes it takes more time than expected and one feels like it got stuck. Anyways, enjoy Lollipop now! 🙂
Hi, i\’m on the D80020c version can you help my to get to D80020y…thanks.
i have the same question :/
OK I successfully updated the lollipop, but unfortunately my phone was rooted through iroot, now I am facing su-binary not installed error on supersu secondly i am unable to use any application which executes with the permission of supersu and i also unable to connect phone through adb as the device not shown in the adb, i tried to install lg root script but my phone is not communicating with pc in adb mode… please suggest
I guess root is lost that’s why those error. Make sure USB debugging is enabled and drivers are installed for ADB connection to work.
usb debugging is enabled and divers also installed but it causing to improper root, as i am unable to go on 20c with tot method… 🙁
Do you have a similar guide for Lg G PRO2(D838)? I guess all the above steps remain the same except for the ROM.
Maybe but I’m not sure. Check out on XDA and try if you can take risk! 😛
My d800 is rooted and has twrp recovery. Does this mean i cannot go through this process to update to lollipop ??
I have the same question.
You first need to get back to Stock Recovery, try Flashify app to install it.
I am on stock lollipop with root previlages enabled.Now how can i install custom twrp recovery on my D800?
Try Flashify app from Google Play. How you rooted your device running Lollipop?
I had used Lg One Click root application.
thanks for ur efforts Mayur, finally i upgraded my device to Lollipop and its working fine 🙂
I successfully updated on lollipop by using your method. But i m facing a serious problem. My mobile data is not working. I turn it on and it keeps on but no internet at all. No E No H No H+ …
Kindly help me out….
And thanx for the update.!!!
Where are you from? You need to manually add the APN for your network. That’s it!
I added the APN manually and internet works but i cant close the data, it is always turn on..
Excellent Article! Works effortlessly. No hiccup during update process. Followed the steps as it is. Highly recommended. Actually I was looking for something like this ever since AT&T started rolling out FOTA.
Thanks a lot man. You saved my time a lot!!
i got this error:0x1111002
while on the update screen… can u please tell me what is this error… thank you
Mine is D80020k can you share me the link to download 20y?
You’ve to update to 20y by installing two OTAs first using above procedure.
20k -> 20u http://d-h.st/BT3
20u -> 20y http://d-h.st/auPE
I installed lollipop on a friend\’s phone using the steps above and it worked. He was on 20y. But I\’m trying to install it on my 20u phone, but it does not work. I tried to install 20y with the fota file but on adb command prompt, the first command returns an error message saying file path not recognised. You mentioned flashify, how exactly should we use it? Do you have any idea why the update from 20u to 20y is failing? Anticipating your reply. Thank you
Make sure you’re using this file to update to 20y (20u -> 20y http://d-h.st/auPE). Also make sure to change permissions and grant root access when asked. Flashify won’t be of any help in this task.
Trust me, I did everything correctly. I also used the right FOTA file. Adb sees the device but when I type in the first command, it says file path not recognised
Did you gave adb shell command?
20c —->> 20y—>> http://d-h.st/VJzP
Pls with the 20k do I need to do the procedure for 20k-20u and 20u-20y separately.
I\’m going to try this but I have only 1 Q. Is the official stock Rom..
I have a at&t SIM card but it\’s deactivate I think. it\’s giving me error \’ SIM not provisioned mm2\’ and also not giving me official update. I\’m from Karachi. ..
Yes, it’s the official Lollipop FOTA update file.
What about at&t sim card that I have.
can this sim get me (FOTA) ?
I followed the steps and this worked perfectly.
I\’m also running an unlocked AT&T LG G2 (D800).
The only extra thing I needed to do, which isn\’t fully explained here, was turn on developer settings in \’About phone\’ by tapping the Build Number 7 times and then enable debugging (the Developer options menu, check ‘USB debugging’ and click OK on the prompt).
I guess everyone who is looking to flash manually with such comprehensive guide knows that by now. 🙂 Anyways, thanks for your input. (y)
Worked perfectly for me. Thanks! Looked up this thread too

err:0x1117008 installing 20y ……help
Is necessary “terminal emulator for android”?
Ok I have lollipop …
Now I want to go back on d80020y 4.4.2 now what I do…. Is there any way to downgrade d800?
i am getting error 0x1111004
@Mayur do you know why i am getting this error or any fis to this error.
I am on d80010d. Can you help me get on d80020y so I can use the above method to get to lollipop?
I have an unlocked AT&T D80020Y
after Update through the method mentioned , Does it affect the unlocking ?
Thank you
No, doesn’t affects anything.
Mayur what about my Q. going back?
after typing first command that starts with \”SU\” the cell phone restarts and then stucks forever into the recovery mode. No matter what it stays at the recovery even if I restore it. Although I found out a way to get back into OS by using some terminal commands but I cannot update by this method.
I have tried three times and every time I go back to the recovery loop.
Any ideas???
You need to copy paste that entire cmd not just ‘su’ first.
I did copy paste the whole command man. I was just refering to the command by SU. well the cell phone does restart but it is always lost in recovery loop. The update screen does not show up.
When I get back to system I get an error of update failure.
can you please tell me how you got out of recovery? i use my phone all the time and this would be a huge help!
model: at&t d800 (i use a custom recovery called twrp)
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
then hit enter
type
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
then hit enter and reboot.
You need To type above commands in twrp terminal.
This was incredibly helpful!
I tried a few times everything but after start updating get me err:0x1117008. No Stump root
I have the same problem
@Mayur Bro i succesfully update to lollipop and thank u for that. But the problem i m facing now is no google service is working no play store nor gmail no google+ . How can i get rid of this problem.
And last question is what if i factory reset my fone now ? Will it brick my phone or what would it do ?
Update Google Play services thru Play Store. Or do a factory reset (will wipe entire device data) and believe me it’s the best thing to do after a major update. After reset my phone has turned butter smooth. 🙂
Can you get root back using this lg stump after updating? How is the battery life on lollipop?
Check our latest guide to root G2 running Lollipop: http://webtrickz.com/how-to-root-lg-g2-running-lollipop-with-lg-one-click-root/
Thanks. What about recovery?
i got this error:0x1111004
while on the update screen…still got error??how fix??
Im on 20c. Help me get to 20y please. I need to go to lollipop
I have tried this method like 20 times and all I get is error 0x1111002 all the freaking time. Can you like seriously tell me why am I getting this error again and again?
Anyone resolved err:0x1117008 problem?
Me too I keep getting err:0x1117008 Has anyone fixed it? or found out why it is happening? I have unlocked ATT D80020y
im a native spanish speaker and i dont understand very much english so it worked 100% but all the times that i factory reset the phone a app optimizer box appears after LG logo and take very much time,its normal or any solution? again thanks now i have lollipop 🙂
Glad to hear that. Yeah, that’s normal as Android optimizes apps after a reset or OTA installation.
You might want to add for the benefit of those who are getting permission denied in adb, they should download and turn on abdb insecure by chainfire. It clears the permission problem. As for those getting errors, make sure you have no custom ROM or recovery. Also make sure only the update file is copied to the fota folder. If all these fail, flash software version d80020c. It removes all traces of modifications. Follow the above instructions to get from d80020c to d80020y and then lollipop. Thanks to Mayur for the clearest instructions on this.
Thanks for the info. Glad you found the instructions clear and easy to understand.
Mayur, I need some help. I got one Unlocked LG G2 ATT from ebay India. It is running on Jellybean 4.2.2 (D80010q). How I can update to lollipop and root my device. Any good stock based custom rom through which I can get rid of this ATT bloatware.?
Don’t go for lollipop. Jellybean is best in terms of performance and battery life
Omg pathetic battery life on lollipop! And chrome won’t open. Buggy. Will a factory reset help after update?? Reply asap
Can I TOT back to d80010b? That had good battery life and performance
Can somebody tell me what the permissions on FOTA folder has to be- i messed up permissions when i try to do update
thanks…. i updated my LG G2 very easy and smoothly…

o and btw i did the upgrade since last friday and loving it so far especially the new camera features
for upgrades to 20y before installing lollipop to overcome the error: 0x1111004, this link actualziar are the files for 20k, 20u and 20y:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g2/general/links-manually-forcing-ota-20c-to-20u-t2828874
I worked me and my lg D800 runs perfect.
Hey, I followed the steps and it doesn\’t work for me… The upgrade page shows but I get an error, and before the error on the comand pannel it says : \” WARNING: linker: app_process has text relocations. This is wasting memory and is a security risk.\” Can you please help me?
Hi Mayur. This guide is very detailed and I am now on Lollipop. Thank you.
Since you use the D800, you must have noticed that there is no option to choose 2g, 3g or 4g. I am based in Bangalore and use Vodafone; who are tied up with Airtel for 3g and 4g. Irrespective of whether I am subscribed to a data pack or have data turned on, my phone is always connected to a 3g or 4g network resulting in poor signal, call drops and high battery consumption. I prefer to be connected to 2g. Do you know how to fix this ? Thank you in advance.

YOU are the BEST.
This worked for me very easily, but now I can\’t connect to T-Mobile data for some reason. I can still use WiFi and make calls.
Add the appropriate APN for your network manually and it should work.
Okay, I’ll do that. Thanks.

This won’t work with TWRP recovery, you need stock recovery to flash the official fota file.
how can I get stock recovery back??
Just wanted to say thanks. XDA was too complicated for me and this article simplified it. Thank you so much.

hello sir i have doubt that can we install updates by ota after lollipop update for my unlocked lg g2 d800 at&t sir plz answer
Hi Mayur,
My mnc# for Delhi is 10. But I had to enable VOLte by feeding the code 3845#*800# in the dial app and then choose LTE only|| modem settings VoLTE radio nv ON. Phone restarts automatically.
After this I can see 4G symbol and surprisingly got 6.5 Mbps download speed.
Do you also see 4G symbol for 3G? As far as I know Delhi NCR don’t have 4G on Airtel till now.
Glad that you got it working finally. Yeah, it shows 4G every time for 3G network. 🙂
This has been the case even with the Old firmware! 4G for 3G+
Hi. I am facing somme problème with My d800 . i tried to enable tehering by modifiying setting.db , it works like a charme but i l\’ost My LTE 🙁 i need a copy of ur setting.db file . can you provider it to me for comparaison plz ?
Does Wifi Hotspot work for you ? Is there anything we should do make it work?
I recently updated following this guide. I kept getting the error, so I when over to XDA to figure out how to go back to 20c. I rooted 20c with stumproot, I did fota to 20y (i had to go look for the 20y fota dlpkgfile myself ) then finally fota to lollipop folloowing these instructions.
Everything seems perfect, smooth no lag and battery life is good. At first charging was slow but it improved after some days. It\’s good to factory reset a couple times after updating to lollipop, also bring down the animations down to .05x or zero if you like, it makes the UI feel faster.
The only weird thing is that the supersu and ES file explorer app appear on my device even after doing the factory reset, and I no longer have root.
I forgot to add, thank you Mayur!
Hi, I have 20c and i am following your guide to update to 20y first from 20c. I placed the 20y file in fota folder and followed all other steps that you posted but I am getting software update failed error. Can you help me. I am kind of a n00b. Also, i dont have java developer kit installed since you didn\’t indicate that on your tutorial.
Thanks in advance

Dinesh its for you
Firstly root your device
Then download root explorer pro
Goto

In this directory you will find a file named setting.db
Open setting.db by single tap
Inside this file you will find a file named system
Open system file and find tether_entitlement_check_states
And change its value from s to 0 and save it restart your device hope you will enjoy tethering
please help me when i type adb shell and he say device not found
what i dO after update my cellphOne is still hang lg logo ???
Make sure that your phone is rooted and you have usb driver for that phone installed
Thank you Mayur. It worked like a charm. I do not have root access now. However, I did LG RCT from hidden menu, it says the device was rooted. I want this to be look entirely unrooted with no trace of rooting. Any idea how to do that? Will a factory reset help?
I did factory reset twice, my device is still not entirely ‘unrooted’. Appreciate anyone’s help.
Hi Anupam,
I tried your method, but when I try to open settings.db i m getting this message ” This Database is locked by another process. Try in a minute or two”. Can you help me on this

For those who are rooted while on the 20c AT&T KitKat update and are missing the ability to tether, this is for you!
Using the app SQLite Editor by Speed Software you can use these quick steps to enable tethering.
1) Under SQLite Editor find the app \”Settings Storage (com.android.prodivers.settings)\”
2) Hit \”settings.db\”
3) Hit \”system\”
4) Search for the term \”tether\” in all fields
5) Set the vale of \”tether_entitlement_check_state\” to 0
6) Enjoy your ability to set up a mobile hotspot!
Great guide, very straight forward and well explained! I have upgraded to lollipop without a single issue 🙂
One problem I have is that my banking apps think that the phone is rooted, while it obviously is not. Any idea how to get around this? Probably some files left from the rooting process before upgrade…
Any comments will be greatly appreciated
You can perform a factory reset and it should fix the issue.
I have done factory reset right after the upgrade, doesn’t look like it did the trick 🙁
Everything was working until when the device rebooted, it went into TWRP just like everytime. Is there any way I can bypass TWRP without uninstalling it?
i have the exact same problem, i keep rebooting to TWRP everytime. I cant have acces to the system idk why
Great instructions but your links do not work. Well, it works but the captcha won\’t load to perform the download
It didn\’t update. Also, when i try to boot up is says boot verification error booting in secure mode
Worked great, very simple. Thanks (=
I follow all the instructions here and all i have is failed update message… what i can do. Thanks
D800 20y
Hi
Thanks for the detailed step wise instructions, I have updated to lollilop without any issues.
I am interested in using stock android lollipop on my phone. Is it possible? let me know someone has already documented the steps.
yes…..this the best site HOW TO DO…… but you forgot to mention that before those above you have to do the update from 20c fota to 20y, then do the lollipop update……anyway in conclusion IT WORKS!!!!thanks a lot!!!!
WAW!!!
Muchísimas gracias por tu tutorial, de verdad me fue de mucha ayuda. Sin el no hubiese logrado actualizar a Lollipop.
Need Some Help !!!
I use this method and works great for a few hours, now i can´t download any app from Google Play, i can´t update my previous apps, even i´m having some troubles with the chrome downloads.
I already make a factory reset .. twice.
any suggest to resolve my problem ?
nice tutorial..
it was first time i did something like this and it worked great..
thanks 🙂
Thanks
It works perfectly.
Any reviews regarding battery life?
Thanks worked like a charm!
The update worked but the only problem is that my notification LEDs don\’t work as they used to with KitKat. For example with kik and snapchat, they used to light up yellow or blue. Right now the only time the LED flashes is when I have a new message but not for any other apps.
This may sound really stupid but how do you copy the dlpkgfile file from the computer into the /fota folder on my phone in step 4?
