@vyrus973 dont use lg flashtool now, read the go back to stock guide and flash your phone with .tot or kdz again, root the phone, install recovery and if your modem is still unknownnyou flash it from this forum.

flashed with kdz to 4.2.2, rooted, flashed recovery, flashed baseband, still buggy ... now i did the same and toggled the ROOTED status from download mode and i upgrade to the latest, so maybe I can say to LG centre that after ota bricked, its in warranty, or should i do something else?

@vyrus973 so whats now buggy then? The 0 folder is actually not a big deal, I had it also from custom roms. Is the modem still unknown? Could your efs partition maybe bad?
If its really an hardware issue non fixable then I would send it to LG if its not your fault. But if its an easy to fix software issue then I would try to fix it myself.
Could you explain more about your issue.

i just played on my efs backup 1 week ago, but did anything, is there any other method to fix it?
the bug is that he dont start the service, he does not even try to read my sim card, still no connection, and he self restarts like a loop, so i cant even use it really long time, sometimes he gets connection but even than with really bad signal, when i put on fly mode and return back he does not connect more, even the data connectivity than does not work, since i flashed the optimus v3 rom, i tried each kdz for my phone but no one did really fix it, sometimes at the first runtime it function and than after restart still buggy aaaaa its make me crazy, actually i am using a 6inches big china phone and that cant be a permanent solution.
greets
@vyrus973 so you still have the backup? If so then you can try to restore it. You can also google about g2 efs recovery to restore it but I am not sure if it is possible. I think that your efs partition is corrupted or got removed.

i restored it many times, i backuped it on 4.2.2 and on 4.4.2 but anyone does properly function, i went in the assistent center and they are going to sent it to labor, at the end i restored all, i hope that they cant see that i played with the root/bootloader, in download mode is written UNROOTED, hopes thats all ahah, in 7 days I update
greets
@vyrus973 ahh okay, if you flashed back to stock and removed root temper flag then you should be okay. If you live in europe then it didnt matter that you had rooted your phone I thought. But your download mode said unrooted so the temper flag got resetted.
Goodluck with your phone and have fun with it, dont brick it

ahahah i were not happy with the g2, nice design but mhhh don´t know ... i think after i´ll sell it, and yes i live in italy so ehehe *finger crossing* hope it will go all right ahah at the end i dont think they have to repair hardware, just plug it in their universal computer and flash all again, at the worst case they have to open it and flash on board yey
Hi, first of all, this is my first thread on XDA... this is the best site to find any answer related to phones...
Im experiencing a very hard trouble here with my LG G2 D805
I bought it refurbished from a person who made a wrong flash to this device and he gave it to me bricked... so i decided to get into the task to fix this phone... first i made it power on in the first day... the phone on the back cover, says d805, but in hardware info says d802...
i read about about those changes and it was something "common" and "easy" to fix, but hey... then i checked and had Imei NULL... and it begun to restart almost every 3 minute... this is supposed to happen when there's a wrong modem.img on the phone....
the phone says on the back that its a 805, so i went into tutorials to make the 802 root and recovery,, i got it.. then i tried all of this:
- Try to change my build.prop model number, no success
- Tried flashing 805 modems (i found 3 different), no success
- I found other tutorial where it can be fixed with tot files, and i found dll and tot for 805. no success
- Tried normal flash on lg flashtool with 805 kdz, no success
- Tried CDMA>Cs_Emergency>CSE flash, no success
- Tried uninstalling all drivers and again the above, no success
I found just one way to make it "work" and as long as i had recovery, i flashed cloudy rom... it works, doesnt reboot or anything... But the only thing I'm missing is my IMEI... it shows NULL, and also i dont have baseband, but can use everything except simcard related
the KDZ's i've tried are here http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=36
I tried with:
D80510A_00.kdz
D80510B_00.kdz
D80210A_00.kdz
and its variables from countries
also tried all this steps and flashed that only tot file that i could get to find of 805: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2667258

@GTMoraes i think you choose the hard way, and i need to tell you,the phone is not a D802 now. and no one need to accept that, there are more easy ways (i past for this and i learn how to fix whithout flash a D802 kdz) than make your D805 a D802 G2:
1. Uninstall your drivers and install again
2. Just replace the the phone build.prop for a D805 build.prop reboot and flash your D805 kdz, done.
3. if you done have a D805 build.prop just edit the one you have and change all d802 lines for d805, reboot and flash your D805 kdz, done.
4. try the @monkey5i solution ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50751778&postcount=9), it works too.
5. if the 2 past ways dont work for you, do this:
- follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475045
- for the guide use this tot file http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprim...N_LGD805AT-00-V10a-724-05-AUG-23-2013-16G.zip and the attached dll file
- follow the guide and done, this guide unbrick any LG G2 Variant whit the proper tot and dll file.
6. share this post for any who have problem going back to stock or the 49% flash error.

If you truly have d802 hardware, you may have to flash a d802 modem in order to get your IMEI back. Do this at your own risk but it has worked for some of the d802 frankenphones that actually have d800 hardware. (d800 modem restores IMEI in their case)

Need EFS backup from an AT&T D800
Hi, I have the issue IMEI = null sinse I've done an update of a rebadged D802 (really D800) from KK to LP, I tried everything i found in forums but nothing changed.
I can't use NV tools or QPST because the phone is not recognised and the connection can't be maintained.
So, the last solution i didn't try yet is to flash an EFS backup from another AT&T D800.
so, where can I find an EFS backup (with IMEI 0 or real IMEI, i'll change it with mine)
It'll be very nice if someone helps me getting my phone back to work
Thanks
So, my Note 3 N9005 worked fine, then i tried to install CM 12 The phone kept locking so i tried to install CM 12.1 instead. It did the same thing. Then i tried to install CM11. Phone got stuck to a bootloop. Then i tried to install the stock firmware. It launched but the phone lags like hell, apps don't open at all. Waking up the phone takes a lot of time. And the phone doesn't recognize the sim-card anymore. I used CWM to install all the custom roms, and i wiped cache, dalvik cache and did a factory reset every time before i installed a new rom. I used Odin v. 3.04 to flash the stock firmware.
So my question is this, how do i get my phone back up and running smoothly again, like it was fresh out the box? I'll appreciate all the help i can get because i am starting to get very desperate, i really wouldn't like to tell my mom i need a new phone. Note 3 cost like hell after all.
I am from Finland so i used the N9005XXUEND5 version of the stock firmware, KitKat 4.4.2.
The only thing i can think of that can cause this problem is that if the OS's i installed didn't get deleted fully, so there would be multiple OS's on my phone running at the same time. This may be a bit far fetched.
Please help as fast as possible. And i'm not that good at these things so i would appreciate if you could walk me through this step by step and explaining each step as specifically as you can.
Judging from your post, you didn't even bother to read the install instructions of the roms you were flashing.
And this is the result you get.
In CWM recovery mounts and storage format sdcard system cache data preload .
Reboot to download mode and flash stock rom .
The last time i flashed the stock ROM I formatted everything, including the firmwares and such. Now i flashed AOKP ROM and the phone is working fine, except it doesn't recognize the sim card. Any idea how to fix that. Thanks for all the help so far
Basics check you have correct IMEI and correct modem change sim card .
I'm sorry, i have no idea what IMEI and correct modem change sim card. :/
If you don't understand the very basics of flashing and firmware then i suggest you take your phone to a repair shop .Its not a game you are going to end up with a dead phone with no chance of a fix .
I think i understand the very basics of flashing, considering i have done it before twice and on both times it has worked. My sim card worked on my moms Lumia, so is it possible that the sim card reader broke. Can flashing a rom or formatting system do that? Are there a kernel i should flash? I heard it might fix problems like these. And when i go to settings there are no options for IMEI or modem change, that's why i'm confused.
**********************************************
I do have my backup still, but when i try to restore it with CWM, it says something about md5 sums, any idea how to deal with that, because i think that would help if i could use that backup. The stock rom that i downloaded wasn't from any known page. Mostly because SamMobile doesn't have my version anymore for some reason. And i tried to download it from samsung-updates.com but it said that the download would take about 9 hours. I think that the download time would only keep growing and growing so eventually it would be a waste of time.
I think i understand the very basics of flashing,
No you don't and that's your problem this post only makes it more obvious and makes it nearly impossible to give guidance .
MD5 and cwm basics turn off MD5 check in recovery .
You cannot go flashing kernels for no reason .
Modem change is not settings neither is IMEI .
Broken sim reader yes its possible but highly unlikely from a firmware bad flash .
Its entirely possible that you have downloaded a bad firmware .
You also have a non Samsung rom flashed now (aokp)
suggest you read up on that for problems .Though i cannot see any 9005 AOKP roms here .
But first you need to check you have the correct IMEI if your IMEI does not match then you restore the EFS folder you backed up before you started flashing .
I said that i would appreciate that if you would guide me through this step by step. How can i check IMEI? I'm sorry i'm making this so hard for you. The only thing i care about now is that i get my phone back stock and running smooth.
*****************************************************
That is also true that i might have downloaded a bad firmware. Are there any other place to get a stock firmware other than samsung-updates.com?
Download from sammobile.com. It is advised to flash the newest 5.0 firmware on your N9005 (N9005XXUGBOB6) with Odin 3.09 or later.
Check your IMEI from Settings/About device/Status/IMEI. If it starts with 0049, your phone has lost its IMEI. Try flashing to the newest 5.0 firmware to fix it.

I'm sorry that i have to make this hard for you again, but can you tell what EFS backup means and what i'm supposed to do with it?
The EFS folder contains your phones unique identification code or IMEI . Without correct IMEI your phone cannot connect . That is why the EFS folder is backed up before anything is ever flashed . No backup and wrong IMEI then you probably need a service centre repair . EFS/ IMEI can be damaged during flashing that is why rule one is backup your EFS folder first .

Dude you are like 12 years old. Why do you even have such a phone? Your attitude toward the dude that was helping you was very rude.
If you don't know what EFS is, it is highly likely that you don't have a back-up. In that case you can try to flash the stock firmware suggested previously. But I really doubt that it will actually magically "cure" your IMEI. I would really go to a service center before you do anymore damage. It could be a little expensive, but at least they do know what they are doing.
That being said, I'm not sure even a service center could help you.
You can restore your backed up EFS folder .
CWM backup restore does not include EFS .
You can flash lollipop .
You can flash a matching modem .
All these may restore IMEI or make the situation worse that is why a service repair is recommended .

I'm sorry if i sounded rude towards to anybody, that is totally not what i'm trying to be. I know you guys are trying to help so i really don't see why i would be rude towards to anyone. I guess my english is still so bad that i'm sounding rude.
I think the best option now is to take the phone to a service repair. Especially if flashing anything can make the situation worse.
I thank everyone that has tried to help. It seems like that i have to accept the fact that i ****ed up my phone. At least this will serve as an example to anyone who's trying to flash custom roms and don't know what they are doing.
Oh, and the reason i have this phone because i'm a student i high school. I just started doing flashing and trying custom roms and i guess i thought it would be really simple. Clearly it wasn't.
Hi,
I've owned all the Galaxies and never had any problems installing ROMs.
Ten days ago I bought an unlocked new GT-I9500 in USA. It's not a knockoff, I've checked the IMEI and I know the device (I've had one for a year back in 2013), there is no chance this phone is not legit (even though it's made in China).
I brought the phone to Argentina, where I live.
When I first turned it on I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, so I assume it worked fine. The thing is I didn't get to test it thoroughly at that moment because I installed a 5.0.1 stock ROM right away (I think the phone came with 4.4.2).
This 5.0.1 ROM worked horribly, all apps were force closing all over the place (even unopened apps), without me doing anything, I would be just watching the screen and the FC dialogs would just pile up. The phone was unusable because you needed to dismiss several FC dialogs before you could get to the screen below, and by then you got a new FC coming up.
Many times when I rebooted, it would say it was optimizing 3 or 4 apps, and then it would work a bit better, or maybe a bit worse, it was a totally random thing. It also rebooted spontaneously, Play Store would close spontaneously, many apps refused to update giving error codes like "unknown error 960" or something like that.
Things I already tried:
-Reinstalled same ROM 5.0.1 I9500UBUHOE2_I9500UUBHOE2_I9500UBUHOE1_HOME.tar
-Installed different ROM 5.0.1 I9500UBUHOE3_I9500ZTOHOF1_I9500UBUHOE1_HOME.tar
-Did all wipes, before and after
-Reinstalled with PIT and re-partition
-Installed Philz and tried "clean to install a new ROM"
-Reinstalled 5.0.1 ROM
-Again tried "clean to install a new ROM"
-Reinstalled 4.4.2 I9500UBUGNJ1_I9500UUBGNJ1_I9500UBUGNJ1_HOME.tar, which is the version I think the phone originally had installed.
-Of course, in the meantime I lost the IMEI and had to restore it from backup.
After downgrading to 4.4.2 the situation got a little better, but I still get several FCs and spontaneous reboots. On one opportunity I booted into recovery, wiped cache, and when I rebooted it got stuck in the boot logo. I removed the battery, turned it on and it did the same thing. I had to boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset to get it to boot.
I have two theories:
1) There are some residual files or settings from previous ROMs that I can't seem to get erased, and these are interfering with the new ROMs I install.
2) The phone is defective (memory issue, perhaps?)
Theory 2) seems odd because before installing 5.0.1 for the first time, the phone appeared to work correctly. Granted, I just tried it for a minute or so, but anyway.
Theory 1) seems odd because I did all the wipes, the "clean to install a new ROM" thing, and even re-partition. Can any problematic data survive after all that?
I guess the questions for you guys are:
1) Did this happen to anyone else? Could you solve the problem?
2) Is there a way to erase the phone more deeply?
Thank you.

The PIT file should repartition the phone, meaning it should also wipe it.
Are you sure it is a GT-I9500?
People tend to repair phones with compatible parts from other phones. In this case maybe they used parts from other S4 models (9505, 9506 etc).
Boot into download mode and check the phone model.

The phone is brand new, and I've checked all known signs of it possibly being fake. I'm pretty sure it's not fake.
See attached image.
Sound like your storage is corrupted.
If you are out of options then you can try to select nand erase all in Odin. Maybe that could fix it. Make sure to add a .pit file, bootloader, modem, rom and check re-partition before doing that.

I believe there's no "brand new" S4 in the market right now.
I haven't used philz but twrp .. and if you also install twrp recovery for i9500 ..then you get option for advance wipe .. check everything in advance wipe ( don't forget to take backups .. contacts ..files etc) then swipe to wipe everything .. then go back to main menu and reboot in download mode .. (you may get warning like no OS installed) then install a new ROM via Odin from PC .. you will get a fresh installed ROM
If you still face any FC .. go back to recovery mode .. choose advance then do fix permission .. hope that helps ..

The Samsung official Roms have all integrated, SO, booloader, modem, etc. What lacks is the pit file, you have to get it from other place. I have an I9500 and had those issues when installing 5.0.1 official rom, i believe is not a very stable rom and also drains a LOT of battery. If you can install a custom recovery, try the "[GearCM][i9500][5.1.x] Optimized CyanogenMod 12.1 for Samsung Galaxy S4" rom, the post is in this forum , I'm currently using it and works awesome.
Ok guys, so I tried nand erase and the results are the same. Used both a 5.0.1 and a 4.4.2 ROM. Could this be a memory hardware error? Is there anything more radical that is left for me to try?

You can try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/mod-multirom-v28-t2864469
Then you can boot a rom from your sd card. See if that works ok.
Will try that.
In the meantime, quick question: I've noticed that after nand erase the IMEI is retained. This would mean that nand erase does not erase everything really. Isn't it possible that some information is preserved (like the IMEI), and this is what is causing trouble?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/mod-multirom-v28-t2864469
Then you can boot a rom from your sd card. See if that works ok.

No, I checked it and it's less advanced. For example you can't boot from sd card.
Try a custom rom and see if that works for you.

Ok, tried CM12.1 and it has exactly the same problems.
I think it's time to change the memory chip or the motherboard, right?

Yes I think it is. If you want to do it yourself:

The part you need (EMMC) is not that expensive.
Does someone has them please PM me I will give you credit$ because I'm in dead end with unusable anymore ls997 device.
I have lost my backup (pre-santa pre-rooting pre-custom roms) it was on my sd card which I formated after a while not thinking.
later I did other mistakes: on my dirty santa rooted ls997 I flashed LS997-deODEXd-signed. All fine but than because in software info it said US996 (yes because of the bootloader) I went for stock us996 10f .kdz using uppercut which didn't stop me because it recognised the device as us996. us996 .kdz rom removed root and twrp, all was fine except I got no service (all type of networks). phone recognises the sim card, but that's that no more (even manual setting the apns and manual choosing the network(can't be retrieved) even 112 and 911 won't work. Than I went re-rooted and re-flashed LS997-deODEXd-signed again, but my service was gone there as well (previously okey). tried other ls997 custom roms, in all of them service was gone. I guess I can fix that with twrp recovory of original stock backup files (mine I deleted by acc). I will give credits to anyone helps me.
You probably need to flash the radio from Sprint using dd
Go here for modem https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3548454
dd if=/storage/emulated/0/modem.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modem
When the modem file is on root of internal storage

I will try it today and report back thank you fellow.
I flashed (wrong) modem.img via twrp->install successfully. Big mistake as I ended up stuck in (attached photo) green screen after lg logo. Twrp still works, also adb still works when I hit volume down + plug the type-c cable in. Tried fastboot erase system than fastboot flash recovory twrp.img than from twrp flashed 1)twrp flashed other custom rom-no success(green screen still there after flash->reboot->lg logo) 2)flashed twrp backup I created the other day (only boot & system were ticked when I created the backup, they are from working status with custom LS997-deODEXd-signed as it is the same rom on my 2nd working v20) - 2) also went not successfull
3) opened uppercut on my pc but it recognises my device's port but version is uknown therefor can't use uppercut(it won't start because unkown version, pre-issues it worked, also on my 2nd v20 works but I suppose rom must be ok and booted in order uppercut to starts and gets the version of device).
4) I'm stuck. Can I somehow use my 2nd v20 (rooted, twrp ok, custom romed LS997-deODEXd-signed (old one from december),all software and hardware works perfect(including radio I do have signal bars data etc.) to fix my green screen on 1st v20 so if I fix it I can proceed with your instructions for the sprint radio via dd
If you did flash radio then i would try to flash the radio but i have never seen the green screen

If your device has a kdz, you can extract everything from it and flash accordingly. Or I think there is a fix for the unknown thing. My device does it as well.. There are dll files you need to get it to work.

He dosnt have a sprint kdz. Im asusimg hes talking the us996 kdz. Why you would have hit the sprint ls997 with the us996 kdz is unknown to me.. The sprint kdz is not avalible and the version that was leaked isnt in circulation and is encrypted.
---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 PM ----------
Im assuming you'll need more then just system and boot.img
The kdz i assume replaced your custom aboot. And the radio and modems all got swapped with us996 the unlocked version i hope and not tmobile variant.
I have full backups but parts contain things like ur esn imei and cant be shared.. Need more info on what is what. The green sceen is a big issue. Thats aboot crash
Maybe you lost the phone's EFS/IMEI file folder, Did you check that?

yes I used us996 .kdz. Im willing to do it again in order to undo the green screen and unbrick my phone.
your words seems legit yes I assume the us996 replacaed radio and modems that's why I got no service. BUT all else was working, no green screen. AFter that I flashed h918 modem.img using twrp->install->choosed modem.img->swipe to install. Only than I got stuck with the green screen and no re-flash helped. Tried twrp restore with 5gb backup fom us995 nrd90m stockimage (system,boot,chace) with no result - again green screen after lg logo.
If I can get uppercut/lgup reading my phone version again (with dd command and changing dll) I will swap back us996 kdz which was fine (than re-root re-flash twrp and custom rom - all back to square 1). us996 kdz is fine it did not make the green screen, booting h918 modem.img after that through twrp did it. us996 kdz only swapped my radio and modem therefor got no service but that's it no more harm.
I was in the US only temporary, now Im in europe using my tmobile(usa) on roaming(not for long I don't need my us number anymore) and european sim card on my 2nd v20. Therefor I don't really care anymore for my ESNs

Well, i think you have to check on Settings> About phone> Status and here it shows the phone's imei number, if you only see "000000000000000" then your phone does not have the EFS folder, then you have to fix that....

I checked, it's fine, imei is ok - the actual and full one
Update: I'm considering buying another clean ls997 sprint v20 since mine are both rooted etc. My Q is how can I extract the .kdz from the new clean sprint v20 unit ? (As I noted even with full twrp backup images the green screen is not fixed it's deeper issue maybe .kdz will fix it hopefully). I don't mind sharing the sprint .kdz afterwards since I will not use the phone in the US anymore anyways.
The kdz has to be leaked from Sprint....The only one that got leaked wss encrypted and we can't use it...the only way to get it flashed to stock is at a Sprint store unfortunately...it sucks

Lol... As you learned, cross flashing radios is a great way to brick. Also, never flash a radio through DD unless you are 10000% sure you know what every part of what you are doing does, and how it works.
Here is your problem. Your baseband (radio) partition is supposed to be a certain size... However, upon flashing a wrong image, with a low-level tool (DD), the partition is now corrupt and/or mis-sized. That means that another partition is overlapped by radio, or a part of radio is overlapped by another partition.
If you somehow get a KDZ to flash, it may or may not fix it.
The only way to fix this, would be with a very low-level tool, to manually repartition everything in pristine condition. If KDZ does that, then great. If not, then there is really not much you can do.

I'm trying my best to get the KDZ to flash, but it won't let me. Download mode on thehpne successfull, from there on - not.
Please recommend me some workshop where they can fix this green screen and get me going. It's sprint bad esn lg v20 should I contact Sprint and tell them I rooted and soft bricked and can they get me back to stock and charge me for this service that's fine ofcourse ? I can ship it asap since now it's just 350$ piece of shiny plastic in a box.

i get the impression that you didnt actually read the OP's post.
he has a kernel panic, and is unable to get his phone to boot android. the green screen in the very first post indicates as such.
in a small nutshell, OP flashed a file to a place that it should not have been flashed to. most likely, OP has given him/her self a really expensive doorstop.
unfortunate, but a lesson can be learned here. expensive and avoidable, unfortunately.
