[Q] G2 d800 with d802 rom/firmware bad flash

I bought a broken AT&T G2 that the buyer did a bad flash or something with. Doing some playing around on the phone I see that the phone is d800/ AT&T G2, with what to appears to be a d802 firmware in it. Phone turns on and boots up to main screen but touch screen doesn't respond well and it reboots after maybe 1 min or two.
I have tried lg flash tool but get failed because it reads the phone as d802 and the dll/tot file are for the d800 and doesn't give me an option to proceed. Also tried LGMLauncher but doesn't download the software, gets stuck at 11%.
Any other help will be appreciated, if not I'll resell this phone.

You can still get into recovery right? You try sideloading a correct rom?

Unfortunately not. It's in a boot loop and when I hold power and volume down it just goes to
[800] fast lot mode started
[850] udc_start()
And that's all I get can i force it into recovery another way

Going give this a try again. But the issue is if my pc has enough time to sync with the phone before the phone reboots.

I've tried something along those lines but to no avail. My phone doesn't show up on my computer in its current status. How can I get map to recognize my phone I have the drives installed and lg upgrade tool can see it so I know it can kinda see it. When I ran Adb devices nothing comes up on the ASB command prompt

don't think that's going to work for my situation but I'll give it a try in a bit. So I would get a d800 rom and load d802 .dll? I think once the program sees the .dll file and the firmware, it will fail.

i think we need some one to hack the dll or the LGFlashTools to skip TOT checking

Ya if we could get someone to do that then I could get everything to go through. Unfortunately I don't know any one with much programming or coding skills. But thanks for the help so far man. It's nice to know not everyone on the Internet is an asshole

try flash VZ laf.img
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash laf laf.img
here how to and tool for fastboot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595
i think this partition also the responsible for phone type ex D802 or VZ980 where LGFlashTools use it to detect phone type
laf partition will bring download mode to you

Hahaha tried this one to and the one it links me too. My phone isn't reconized my my computer so doing things throught the PCs CMD is out of the question for me and so is pushing the boot .img via ADB since my phone wasn't In debugging mode when I bricked it. But again thanks man. I think I've exhausted most of the conventional fix it threads on this since I've been looking through everything since Sunday

accident flash D803 to D801 lol

hi everyone
if your like me and like to flash and flash stuff by accident things that shouldnt be on your varient lol. (my phone is D803 rogers and i managed to flash t-mo onto it and got stuck in fastboot mode. no download mode no recovery possible at all at this point no matter what button sequence i tried instantly fastboot)after hours of research and trial and error. i managed to use a couple programs that helped me boot my phone D803 which now thinks its a D801 and fully boots as T-mo and at this point it booted and my simcard is not a proper sim it says.
anyways the story is i was able to create a zip that turned my D803 which turned into a D801 back into a D803 and save my fastboot bricked device woohoo.
if any1 needs info on how this was done i will write it down when i have a little more time on my hands.
and also i will thank all the people i can that made the forums and tools that were needed for this to be done.
thanks Jester

D803 question
Hey, kind of related... I'm considering upgrading to the G2 (from Samsung GS2 LTE aka: skyrocket) but i noticed that there isn't a 'D803' or 'rogers' section in the forums. So if i want to flash a custom OS, which versions should i be using? 802? are there dedicated 803 roms and I'm just not seeing them?
Any info would be appreciated.

most roms youll see d800/801/802/803 etc. most cm and aosp are fine i found. just dont do any off the stock kitkat flashing. thats what i did and i got lucky once... i fixed it. but the second time i killed my phone
this site has a few roms made for d803 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611749

Hey what's up. I had this issue happen to me and it was a big pain for me to fix and there is no official fix. This is what I did in order to fix it. You basically need to adb pull your build prop end change the model number to your original number and place it back on your SD card and change your system over to rewrite able and push the new build prop to your system and bam!!!!! Fixed

what i did was use
fastboot used erase laf then flashed all the ones im gonna mention. d803 laf.img flashed that and since i was already flashing laf i flashed all the rest i could find such as recovery aboot etc.follow this thread to do all this if you have lost download mode and but have it stuck in fastboot mode
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595 thanks to cms88168 for this step by step. just download all images for your device. mine was d803 so i downloaded all d803 imgs.
then you can head over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483043 and get the DLL file he has made which works with any version i tried 801-802 and 803 tot file. . thanks to AndroidUser00110001 for making this dll file.
you will need to get your model tot file and LGflashtool which can be found it the thread posted above. but please make sure you have your proper tot file. flash that and your good to go. sorry im sure my instructions are all over but should be in right order. im just used to doing not explaining for others. good luck and hope you fix your device

[Q] LG LS980 big problem - bricked? D801 firmware

Hi,
I have a big problem with LG G2 from Sprint (LS 980). I've bought on eBay for using in Europe. When I bought it, one of very few optionw to use it for GSM carriers was flashing Justin's ROM - it is stock T-Mobile ROM modified for Spint G2. Everything worked well except NFC.
After some time new (and permament) method for unlocking Sprint G2 arrived, so I wanted to do it that way. I've made factory reset on my LS980 (with D801 T-Mobile ROM from Justin), but I didn't know, that I had to go to recovery (Vol - plus Power) for wull wipe and didn't do that. My phone is now in bootloop (T-Mobile animation goes still around ) and phone doesn't boot up. I don't know how to get it back to stock.
What works:
Download Mode (Vol + and Power), Unknown Mode (All three keys together) - there are options ON, OFF and Cancel (Answer Call and something with alarm)
What doesn't works:
Fastboot, recovery, boot
I've tried to get into recovery many times, but with no luck. I've also followed many instructions how to get it back to stock. As the main manual I took this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960
Sure that with Sprint LS980 flash files.
It is basically same as this:

Everything went pretty well until flashing part. LG Flash Tools don't want to flash my phone because of model number mismatch ...I have LS980, but it thinks that I have D801 (T-Mobile version).

Thanks for every suggestion.

If you have luck will be ok
If is not i may say it is about you

I have reshearch and found dll from kdz is a free dll and i found your model number LS980 on My d802 kdz dll
First you should try reset by your recovery mode

And I'm not able to get into recovery, I've tried it maybe 1000 times
I'm also pretty sure, that information about correct and same .dll and TOT or KDZ files written in "Back to stock" topics is written there for very good reasons

You have luck
To day I can flash lg D820( N5 ) tot firmware in to my LG D802 using my dll from d802 kdz format
It is a free dll
Try to flash your lS980 tot with d802 kdz dll
Good luck

As I expected...LG Flash Tool won't let you do this, because it will find out that model number in DLL and TOT file is different ...I've just tested it.
KDZ extractor is also useful, because TOT files don't contain .dll

I've tested many combinations of .dll files with no luck.
D801 dll file + LS980 TOT file = error in different BIN a DLL file
LS980 dll file + LS980 TOT file = error in different model numbers
8974 dll file + LS980 TOT file = error "Cross DL D801 to LS980"
When I look at the phone in Download Mode, it shows D801 10c firmware.

Are u using dll from kdz file ?

it show me cross dl d802 to d820
but i have change my model namber in build prop to d820 and it flash ok
let try d801 kdz dll and d801 tot
It will replase all partion on your phone and your phone will stuck on fastboot mode and yout download mode will gone
After
let erase your laf.img and reflash your own laf.img to get your download mode back
after you re get your download mode
just flash your phone with your ls980 tot and dll given with your tot file
It will be ok
I am not a rich man but i never afraid my phone will 1000% brick and will lose it

Sprint USA need True tot file and dll
LGLS980_20130925_LGFLASHv151.dll
LS980ZVA_01.zip

There are no true dll files since Sprint version uses TOT files and these files don't use dll
Anyway...I've tried all combinations and also Sprint files...no luck...I wrote it maybe three times in this topic

Still no progress with the phone, any ideas?
I am considering LG autorized services, maybe they could help...

I have the exact same issue and I have been working on it for a week straight. I have tried every combination of everything possible and no luck yet. I have even tried flashing it to think it is the d802 to no avail.
I understand if it were possible to edit the build prop to be the ls980 that it would actually work but im stuck on how to do that as the only way I can get the phone to boot is in an environment where I have no adb or keyboard and the phone reboots every 30 seconds so its basically impossible to edit that.
that might be a possibility for you if you want to give it a shot but for me I suppose ill have to keep looking.

there are several different methods which have worked for other people so I don't know if you have tried any of those methods but if not definitely do some digging around.
as far as mine I haven't worked on it for several days I've just been thinking about it and I have not going a solution yet.

Make sure you don't have it charging when trying to go into recovery.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using xda app-developers app

Fixed it
Check this out.
I decided to reinstall the only firmware I could... this caused random reboots, sometimes 30seconds... sometimes a few minutes.
During a reboot,I put the settings app on my first Jellybean screen (while rebooting, it was easier to get to). Then, go activate Developer mode, then put on USB debugging, and plug phone in... Mine was a little jinky, so I had to take USB out a few times, try to enable... what you are looking for is a prompt that says Allow this computer (type of thing).
Mine had a checkmark box, which said ALWAYS allow. So, that's what i did, and hit ok. After than you should be able to get into recovery.
This is the file I used:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545456
and mounted SYSTEM.... now, to install recovery, was a little problematic. I used this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545456
And, all the recoveries failed, (they have 4 options). Tried all of them, finally phone rebooted into PHILZ.
adb reboot recovery (I used this command, since I thought it was catch recovery better)
In Philz, I had ADB Access, so I just left it there (besides phone doesn't reboot).
in commandline (I am a linux user), I typed:
adb shell
cat /system/build.prop
Which allowed me to see the file
Then, in another commandline window, I typed:
adb push /build.prop /system
Now, your /build,prop might be in a different location, so don't use mine exactly.
:crying:
Hope that helps!!! When you are done, make sure you tell recovery to boot you into download mode -- this isn't required, but for me it was easier.
There, you should see the LG G2 build type, when you plug in the phone and start LGFLASHT (tOOLS.
Remember, I used the LGUP_8XXX.dll (the one for trouble)
and, the NEWER TOT, not the one in the package (it's above the package one).

stuck....ls980 thinks it is the d800

my ls980 thinks it is the d800 and I can't seem to flash it back to the ls980.
I flashed a custom ROM thru twrp and I got an error. I tried restoring the backup and the system partition would not mount. after poking around for quite some time I tried restoring the phone in download mode. apparently the computer thought it was the d800 and flashed the system for that phone. when it restarted I saw the at&t boot screen and when it started up it was not working correctly.
I put it back in download mode and tried flashing the phone again. the computer was sure it was the d800. then I tried flashing manually using the DLL intended to convert this and the tot file for the ls980. I get the error saying I can't convert from the d800 to the ls980.
I then tried flashing thru adb from both windows and linux. both say they cannot find the phone regardless how I try connecting.
since I flashed the factory files the phone will not start in recovery mode I have no clue why.
so now I have a phone that:
will not flash the ls980 tot file,
will not connect to adb,
and will not boot into recovery.
now what?

Dang dude. Harsh. I almost ended up in this same situation after downloading files for the wrong device and noticed literally at the last second and was able to pull the plug, literally, and save my device.
I've been looking for ways to fix it in case it happens again and I don't catch it in time, so if I find the answer I'll let you know. There has to be a way to trick the computer into thinking it's a LS980 like it's supposed to be the same way it thought the phone was a d800.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I was told that there was a DLL file that could be used when flashing it to trick it into thinking it's the ls980 but all I get is an error message I forget exactly what the message says but something to the extent that I don't have the right files for the phone that I have.

yo man have you tried using LGNPST, we're in the same boat, i'm waiting for my some downloads on firmwares to try, i'm using LS980 but it thinks it's a VS980 still working on figuring out from my end. i've also heard that the LG mobile support tools can be used to restore the firmware but you gotta do some funny hot swap lol

woops im a little slow here. what is LGNPST ? I solved the issue by manually editing the build.prop file and that tells the lg mobile support tool that it is a different phone. that was a whole different complicated story of its own but it worked.
sorry I didnt see your comment until now.

def sounds like you used the wrong dll or just the stock lg dll which works with some phones, but others need their specific dll to match the tot and such to make a proper bootloader flash over i believe.

I think my G2 is bricked :(

I had a rooted LG G2 D802 on EE with KK update that was working fine until today...
I tried to flash a nice custom rom to it and well, to cut a long story short something went wrong and the next thing i know i have a phone which only shows up as about 10 hdd's in windows, and as QHSUSB_BULK in device manager.
I couldn't get it to go into download mode or anything, so i followed the Unbricking guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
Unfortunately this appeared to do nothing for the phone, so i used the Tung Lee guide and this also did nothing.
After i did the above guide the phone was no longer recognised in windows or Linux, but thanks to this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404
I was able to at least get it back to the state it was in in the first place.
After following all these guides i am now at a loss as to how to sort my phone out,and i'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction for a fix..
When the phone was working, i put the imei into the firmware engine and it found me the D80220H firmware, i have tried using the bin files from the first guide and from D80220B as well with no luck, so i was wondering if one of the above guides do indeed work, how can i get the .img files i need from a D80220H KDZ?
Its been a long night and i'm now currently without my phone, i'm hoping someone can help and i can get my beloved G2 back to a working state before the weekend.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the long post.

Have you simply tried the LG Flash Tool? When it happened to me once, i simply reg
Flashed kdz using this tool and voila!!! Try and report

@Shadowhunta Are you using the twrp IMG from that first guide? That might explain why this isnt working. Extract the kdz using this tool
Flash the aboot, boot and laf then try download mode.

I was using the TWRP from that post, but then i downloaded the latest one and that didn't make any difference, I haven't tried that tool properly yet to get the .img files needed from the KDZ i have for D80220H, but i have flashed the aboot, boot and laf of D80220B and that didn't help either, i couldn't get it into recovery mode, download mode or anything! With the first tutorial i managed to get it into Hard reset mode, but it just hung on processing.
Thanks for the suggestions, i will try them during lunch and get back to you both, thank you so far!
Anyone else had the same problem as me, keep the suggestions coming, all are helpful and appreciated

Followed that, still nothing, won't boot into recovery mode, only thing it does is show in windows as a load of local disks, and QHSUSB_BULK in device manager with a yellow exclamation mark
I've followed all the advice so far given and none of it worked, i think i'm screwed :/
