Folks,
I gave my rooted (mahdi rom) ATT G2 to my teenage son seeing I was no longer using it. He said he tried to update the Mahdi ROM and now it is bricked. From my questioning him all I know is when he was installing the mahdi update, but he did not flash the D800 patch. Noticing there was a problem I think he tried to re-flash recovery or something. All he would get is "fastboot mode".
I think I am a pretty smart guy and have been on XDA for years flashing and what not with no issues - but this one has me stumped. These are the steps I have taken:
1) Finally got it into download mode and when I try to flash the tot file for ATT, it says incorrect model. Says the model is the D801 (t-mobile)! I was like what?
2) So I tried to flash the D801 tot and it seemed to work, but the flash would ultimately "Fail" in the LG Flash Tool. It would boot up into the t-mobile rom but I would get errors and reboots - very unstable. AND the IMEI was wiped!
Does anyone have any ideas what I can try next? I would like to somehow change the model back to the D800 and flash the ATT tot file. Maybe it is truly just bricked!?!?
Any help would appreciated! Thanks!

if you can successfully root device with towelroot(best choice since it is not device specific) then your best bet is to copy d800 build.prop(or to play it safe edit the build.prop model number from LG-D801 to LG-D800) into system/ give it rw-r--r-- pemissions and reboot into download mode, it should say you have d800 and you should be able to flash back to d800 tot(might want to be using d800 dll that ignores model check too just in case)

Hi everyone,
I am having issues with this phone of mine. Here is a background of it:
My phone is rooted and is running rayglobe rom. I tried updating the update that it gave me and made me stuck in bootloop.
Now I downloaded another rom, which I don't remember since this happened december 2013. after flashing, it does not boot and does not make me go to TWRP anymore. Now I tried using download mode to restore my phone. but eveytime I try to flash (using the 2 methods I saw in the thread), either it hangs at 49% or the other one does not start flashing because it says I have inconsistent dll? I downloaded a D802 stock rom and tried flashing via download mode and it says that I have different model (F380K). Now I tried downloading a dll and F380K stock rom, but won't allow me because it says that my phone is D802. But when I go to download mode it is korean and it says F380K.
I think I have flashed a korean rom before which made this incident happen, but do you have any idea how I can restore this?
Thank you all in advance.
If this was me, I would do a factory reset.
sounds like you should go back to stock firmware.

First check what exactly phone model in Internet Browser. Then download TOT and flash back to stock.

I faced similar problem with D800. I had the correct dll and the firmware but it failed saying my phone model was different (I think its because I tried the "upgrade recovery" option on the LG PC software by selecting a different model).
My phone was passing the LG screen and stuck at android boot screen.
What I did:
Pushed a kitkat based rom for D800 to sdcard using adb on Linux (on windows adb failed to recognise the device).
Then adb reboot recovery and flashed the rom.
Then I was able to flash the factory image.
So I have a LG G2 D800...well that's what the IMEI sticker says... the phone software detects a d802 international version anyway after rooting it all fine and dandy I go to install a custom recovery I tried twrp and cwm both give out a boot certification verify error, my first thought was that it was bricked but I unplugged it and it rebooted fine. So I have no idea whats going on here and why I can't install a custom recovery.
I just did get this phone back from lg over a bad flash, the flash went so bad that the lg techs said the board was bad and replaced the motherboard.
So any help or ideas why I can't flash twro or cwm to it?

if it is now on kitkat then you need to use autorec; a little concerned about it being d800 showing d802 after being sent back by lg

I'm not sure if it just says that because it's been rooted, but I had to send it into lg because it was either Odin or lg flash recovery that said the dll file was wrong and I couldn't find any way to fix it so I tried recovering it in fastmode and the bootloader some how got screwed.
If I use AutoRec and don't have a custom recovery how easily can it become bricked?
Actually it says whats exactly in your sig, LG G2 D800 on D80020U
And like I mentioned my phone is already rooted so could I just run this root to overwrite it or just go back to stock?

well first if it is d800 it should always say d800 whether it has been rooted or modified(I own a d800 and do lot's of modding always making sure it will say d800 as model number)
yes autorec can brick a device but only if you are using the version which is not for your device and to fix involves a lot of work
to return to complete stock you have use the lg flash tool and tot method

ok then, you should be good to go for using autorec for d800 but after using it you will not be able to use knock on/knock code because it does not have updated kernel for d800 which incorporates knock on/code and I suggest you make a backup and then flash a custom kernel with knock code support for d800 to fix the issue(it happened to me so I should know)

If I do brick it would I still be able to enter download mode and reflash back to stock?
I was planning on flashing Cm11 to it anyway so knock code isn't that important to me, but I do remember being able to flash it then installing Cloudyd3 and knock code would work fine.

Autorec only has a chance of bricking when used for the wrong device, and because it flash a laf.img this means kfbyour device gets bricked by it you lose download mode and have to restore it using adb and fastboot commands
Cloudyg3 includes kernel modification for knock code for d80020u, while on 20k/c this was not an issue

Thanks, so I should go back to stock, reflash using lg flash tool then then reflash using the method above and then install AutoRec so I can use Twrp and install cm11.
I just bought a used lg g2. Guy had it unlocked and rooted and used Cyanogen mod for a d801, he used it on metro pcs. He said it was att phone. I verified by disassembling and check the MOBO. The imei also matches a d800. However when trying to return to stock on LG flash tools, I get an error saying device model is different. LG flash tools says its a d801 and im trying to install a d800 file. Anyone have any ideas?
Its running team win recovery v2.7.0.0
and CM 12-20150225 nightly d801
should I flash a d800 rom from recovery and then use lg flash tools?
Have you tried flashing the 801 kdz file? I've seen another thread on here about this specific problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/help/version-g2-t3042262
No I havent. Just stock d800 tot
Fixed!
Flashed stock as per super sports thread and used the dll file at the bottom of the first post.
Okay so before you start criticizing me for being a completely dumb-***
I am fully aware that I am. Glad we can pass this part.
Now for the real bullpucky,
I installed CloudyLG 3.0 on my D801 not knowing it was only for Korean Versions of the LG G2
I bricked my LG G2 D801, No Download Mode, No LG G2 logo, No recovery, just Fastboot
So I found a thread which helped me with, this problem but my dumb-*** wasn't think and half asleep
So I flashed the wrong files for my phone. Instead of using the D801 .img files, I used the D802 .img files.
I can see the LG G2 logo, Download mode and stock recovery but, where I am stuck is here
I tried flashing the stock rom using the kdz file but nothing is working. and yes my phone is showing up on my computer on COM4/41
Any means of help? or is my phone done for?
I am willing to work with anyone who can help

If you have a D801 T-Mobile you should be Returning to Stock using the TOT Method.
Visit the Return to Stock thread.
Scroll down a little and you will find the TOT Method.
Grab your TOT .zip & dll file from here.
Try the TOT method instead of the KDZ method.

I tried the TOT method, but since I flashed a ROM that wasn't compatible with my D801, my entire phone now is pointing as if is an F320S, it doesn't even say its D801 model.
When I tried to use the D801 TOT file with the correct .DLL it failed to do so because of the wrong TOT aka my phone saying it's an F320S model when it really isn't.
I'm downloading the F320S TOT file w/ the .DLL, hopefully this works.
Is there any alternatives for this? I would appreciate it! thanks for the reply
internal memory issue , i accidentally flashed a 16 gb stock rom on 32 gb lg g2
Please guys help.....
I got it to work.
You should get the d801 tot file, edit it with hex editor to the line 6010 by copying the line 6010 of f320 tot file save it, and then follow the guide to of going back to stock with lgflashtool with tot file, remember to get dll file that skips version checking, it worked for me, i did the same mistake.

Thanks man. But I already fixed it with that method, I actually wrote one tut about it in general lg

brought a faked d802 from internet, as this is actually D801 (opened back cover and checked the motherboard to confirmed), it has been installed the D802 stock rom.
Below is problems may related this incompatible rom installed.
It can't do hard rest, stuck at "fastboot"
It can't install custom recovery using "TWRP installer", been told successful, but can't reboot to recovery.
Download mode shows, but seems not working, as I tried to restore D801 following this instruction, but can't communicate with this phone.
Can't update software from phone settings, met phone not register error
Seems IMEI isn't recognized by LG as well. But I can use it to callin and out.
It had SuperSu installed, seems working well.
What I m thinking is how to flash this phone to the proper d801 stock rom?
Thanks for any advice.
