[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.

Tried it with the d802 dll file and d800. Still fails for me.
Here is the d802.dll
https://www.dropbox.com/s/77isqnkeuixkj6u/LGD802_20130912_LGFLASHv160.dll

well i tried it and it said i have the wrong bin now -_- guess i cant flash the stock .tot then since the phone actually thinks its a d802 now

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

if you can stay longger in fastboot mode
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

G2 f320 4.4.2 TOT

Hi guys
I know its a long shot to expect a reply on here with a Korean G2 but......
Does anyone know where i can download the 4.4.2 firmware (TOT file) and dll for the G2 F320K ?
I've just managed to update the phone to 4.4 using the TOT method and root it with iroot but ive just seen there's a 4.4.2 update but i cant find the TOT file for it anywhere
Thanks ;(

Anyone ??

Thanks for the reply (its the first one I've had on this forum)
I've found a few 4.4.2 kdz files but every method I've tried to use to flash them either results in them getting stuck at 49% (47% on the computer) or a softbrick.
The only way I managed to go from 4.2.2 to 4.4 was by using the TOT method.
I just cant find a tot file for my f320k

Thanks again for the reply
I've tried those methods an it gets as far as loading the support tool and everything look like its working with the % going up, but then it gets stuck at 49%.
I've looked on some forums and this seems to be a common problem but I've tried all the solutions posted and none of them work.
The only way I'm then able to bring the phone back to life I'd by using the TOT method.
I'm even having trouble installing a recovery as they all seem to boot me into a black screen

I just tried it again and it seems that when it gets stuck at 49% it give this error:
Indirect Internal / PC to Phone send start

FIXED
For anyone else having this problem then just use these settings instead:
in RD test tool, choose: CDMA instead of 3GQCT
CS emergency instead of diag
then click on CSE web upgrade test instead of normal web upgrade test.
That should stop you getting stuck at 49%.

You have a refurb and a different model. Check my post here. You need to open your phone, you either have the D800 or D801. Flash that ROM, and you wil be fine.

I think i'm having exactly the same problem as you T_T
so i decided to open my LG G2 to find out which exact model it is, and what i found is LS980 instead of D802.
but when i try to flash it with .tot files with LG flashtool v1.81, but i always got [Download FAIL!!] Check DLL or BIN file.
i also tried to flash it with some KDZ files like (D80210B_00, D80210F_00) i got 100% success but stuck at 1st welcome screen too.
i tried to look for KDZ file for the LS980 version but i can't any, so can someone please help me out here, please?
Would it work if i flash it with KDZ if i can find the LS980 KDZ-file for it?
i hope someone can help me please...
i attached 2pics below and sorry for my bad english.

You can flash with the TOT, you just need to edit the TOT file in a Hex editor and change the model to what you have (LS980). Look at my post here on how to do that.

[Fixed]no IMEI,bad touchscreen after flashing D802 kdz.

I am not a dev or expert,I am just a regular guy who is suffering after buying franken D802.while trying to fix it,I have read a lot and saw that 70% users can't get there phone back.And TOT hex editing seems pretty hard to me as I could never pass previousload error.
So lets start from the beginning. I bought a D802,then I tried upgrading it by D802 kdz.now the phone has
1.No IMEI
2.bad touchscreen.
3.internal storage or MTP isn't shown on PC.
4.etc.
Now let's start.
1.open up the phone,see what's written in the motherboard.most of the time it's D800.
2.then get an OTG mouse and try to root it via apps like kingroot ,stumproot etc.because PC rooting method with IOroot doesn't work most of the time.
And don't worry if it shows error,keep trying.
Important:
*it's not possible sometimes to download apps via WiFi.I don't know why.if that happens,try installing them from a pendrive connecting via OTG HUB.
*If apps never gets installed,disable Verify Apps from settings>security
3.after rooting,change the model number and all D802 to your model(D800 in my case) via editing build.prop with any apps like es file explorer or build prop editor.
4.reboot device and see if software version,and model number changed.
5.flash D800 or your TOT or KDZ without any editing,from download mood.if your download mood shows secure boot error,use SRK tools to fix it,and SELECT D802,again SELECT D802 in SRK tools.
Because if you choose your model,like D800,your phone will go in fastboot mood.
Bingo!maybe your G2 is back! ✌?
Off topic:Took me 1.5 months to find a way to fix it! ?

I am stuck a fastboot mood after selecting D800 in SRK tools.
Fastboot devices aren't recognized and no QHSUSB_BULK .?
I am really afraid of tearing the phone up and shorten pins or something!

Uninstall all drivers,then installed updated LG drivers.and then install PDAnet.
Look at device manager.It should show your device as ADB interface or something and your phone should have a new line "fastboot processing commands"....

Pdanet drivers did my work exactly as you say!! ?
Now what img should I flash?
D802 or D800?

Of course D802 as it thinks its a D802.
Then flash KDZ,then after booting up try doing as op..
Best of luck .. ?

You are a life saver!
Worked perfectly without any haste.
Thanks alot

Open up the motherboard and see what's written there.
But most probably you have D800.
And if that is the model,here you go for the Tot.

Try laf.img,boot.img of D802 if you used D802 as the model to update to lolipop.this will fix download mode.

The other solution is you have to edit the hex of D800 TOT file,which I could never succeed at.

ah, Yeah I think KDZ's you use the LGUP tool which is descriped in another thread They don't appear to need a dll for the kdz. So I believe the dll is TOT only. I could be wrong as i'm not an expert on it, but I believe that's that process.

Has anyone successfully reflash there VS995 with this KDz yet?
Im not even trying to Root my 2nd Unit until I have all GOOD

Well I managed to Get LGUP running & it picked up my phone im still Stock no Root & it fail'd at 9% for tho those's who need to know, Maybe try flashing it more then once. I also ran into a problem with LGUP not finding my device so i had to copy & paste the common folder elsewhere

Yeah I ran into the same problem. 0x2000 error. CEFS:Initalize(). Terrible!
*edit*
Ran the uppercut method (link)and was able to flash the kdz on a stock non-rooted vs995! Just with a grain of salt, uppercut is recognized as a virus by some AV, but I took the risk and checked it out and it looks like it's just a false positive because it modify's another programs files in memory... so use at your own risk!

Thanks a million everyone, I finally fixed my Lg v20 vs995! I kept having failure trying it with Uppercut, but I finally saw that I needed to install 3 files to get it to work correctly, 1st you need the kdz file: VS99512A_06_1114_ARB00.kdz, next you need to install 2 driver files, LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3_3.msi and LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.1.1.exe, and of course have UPPERCUT.exe. Finally after installing all of the correct drivers, and loading UPPERCUT, using the VS99512A_06_1114_ARB00.kdz, I finally got it to work and you have to choose "UPGRADE" in UPPERCUT, but I completely restored my phone to factory!!! What a frickn blessling, I am so happy, because I was trying for days to fix this..... and I actually threw this phone in the trash, hehehehehe, but something made be take it out of the trash an hour later, THANK GOD!
