this error msg "MilkyWay Control Port Open Fail"

Normal. Ignore it and wait for it to say ready/finished/whatever. Been awhile since I've done it but I remember that error also.

another error, looks like this phone model is D802

Look on the back of your phone toward the bottom in small print. What model does it say there?

jeffofgod · Jun 6, 2014

it show D801, but on the error it say Device Model is diferrent

jeffofgod · Jun 6, 2014

just got it this phone from craigslist looks like this guy installed the wrong firmware on it, it have d802AT-00-V20a

iowabowtech · Jun 6, 2014

Seems to be a common problem lately. What got you into this in the first place? Did you accidentally flash a D802 rom?

edit: ok, i saw your answer above after I posted.

iowabowtech · Jun 6, 2014

Uh boy, this is kinda messy. Just to get it all straight...you are stock, the wrong firmware (D802 instead of D801), and you have no custom recovery right? And the phone is not booting.

jeffofgod · Jun 6, 2014

that is correct ...

jeffofgod · Jun 6, 2014

do you think if i re-install the d802 firmware just to let the phone going and install a recovery system on it and them the d801 will work ??

iowabowtech · Jun 6, 2014

What happens if you try to enter recovery anyway?

Long hold power button for 20 seconds to ensure its off. Then press volume down and power until phone starts up...if it makes it to an LG splash screen, release power and volume down and then immediately press them both again together.

Do you get an option for recovery or factory reset?

jeffofgod · Jun 6, 2014

factory reset only, did that wont work

That's an absolute last ditch effort when and if you are prepared to throw the phone into a dumpster if it fails. Was it running on 802 firmware ok while in your possession? And then you did something else to cause this most recent failure?

Won't work as in what happens? Nothing whatsoever or it does a reset and you just end up back in the same state as before?

jeffofgod · Jun 6, 2014

goes back at the same state as b4 .... at one point a had com.android.phone file missing error, so i think the guy deleted same original files

iowabowtech · Jun 6, 2014

Unfortunately, your options are limited. The only thing you have working right now is download mode so your idea of trying to flash the D802 firmware might be about the only way.

If that results in a working phone you could get adb working by enabling developer options, usb debugging and then kill the laf partition so as to force fastboot mode. At that time, you could then fastboot flash all the partitions using the D801 img files in that previous link I posted. Only thing is...I don't know if one can flash the PrimaryGPT.img or not or if that would result in bad things happening. I don't know what that is tbh.

That's the only idea I have. If you would like to get a 2nd opinion, ask the guys in IRC:

freenode Web IRC (qwebirc)

Username = whatever you want
Channel = #lg-g2

Somebody there might have an alternative idea idk.

If I was the op I would contact them now and send them the device back for a full refund cause they know they got over on you just waiting for you to see.

i'll give this a last try, if not, this is exactly what i'll do.

do you have the D802 TOT file for tmobile ??

There is no such thing.

D802 = International variant. UK and Asia (firmware variances).

D801 = T-Mobile. Both have been linked here.

Swainsmith82 · Jun 8, 2014

What is the current state of your phone? Can you get into download/sw upgrade mode? Fastboot mode?

DanDroid · Jun 11, 2014

Thanks for this post, spent several hours with trying to do this with the .kdz method and had nothing but problems. Once I found this page, I was back to stock, rooted and now on the hunt for TWRP and a custom rom.

iowabowtech · Jun 12, 2014

Thanks Dan. Always reassuring to know our efforts aren't wasted typing. Appreciate the post.
