[Q] [t-mobile d801 soft bricked can't use LG tool

I can get into download mode, but have a secure boot error and cant use ADB or fastboot. I've been reading every thread I can find.
I tried the LG tool, it never downloads the firmware, just hangs at 12%. Tried different drivers etc. Let it run overnight just in case it was a slow download - nada.
Tried the LG tool by entering the imei number first, but the tool reports a low battery and won't load the firmware. Phone is fully charged, i assume that battery level reporting is not working correctly.
Tried to load the kdz with the R&D tool, it errors out at 49%.
Tried to do the offline process with shttp from the unbrick any phone thread. It uses an older version of the LG tool and won't recognize that the phone is plugged in. If i install the newer tool that sees the phone, the process crashes the tool.
it all started when i tried to flash twrp and used the one for a different model g2. Dumb, I know. this is my first time soft-bricking a device.
Can anyone please point me in another direction?
UPDATE: phone was reporting that it was an 802. Downloaded and flashed an 802 kdz file and the phone booted! First time it was able to get past 49%. Nothing really works on the phone, but now i'm able to use the LG Mobile support tool to flash the correct firmware. The program is downloading the sofware now.

When you say LG tool I'm assuming you're talking about the official program you can download from their site?
I have the Verizon G2 and promptly erased everything on it the first night I got it.. Don't flash / wipe files at 4 AM when you've been up all day and night.
Anyway this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 really saved my rear. Maybe the T-Mobile version will work to get yours back to stock.

works at the start and hangs at 49%. There is one bit that needs to be switched and this would work.

okay, looks like the phone is reporting that it is a d802 from my first f'd up flash. I think this may be causing the problems with flashing the 801 kdz.
Can i flash an 802 kdz onto an 801? then possibly later go back to 801?

[Q] Unroot LG G2 D803 back to stock

Hey there,
My name is Ben, and I have been lurking on here for years now, and its a great community with lots great tips and tricks. I have a stumper for some people. I gave my LG G2 the optimus LGG3 interface, but i broke my screen, and in order for it to get warranty, it has to be unrooted and stock firmware. Now i have tried every trick in the book, every video, every forum and this phone will not go back to stock. I tried the mobile support tool, and it says theres "no upgrade items to fix". I tried the other ways with the flash tools, every version of them, and it gets stuck at step 2, around 2%. I tried all the KDZ ways, and I can't seem to find a .tot file for my D803. Can someone help me through this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Weird behavior after unbrick.

Hi mates!
So, here my problem.
I kept my LG G2 as a test phone (I changed recently for the OnePlus Two, one advise, don't buy it, stay with LG, so good phones.), and I manage to unbrick it with this method (I forced the QDLoader Mode as my phone was totally bricked). I flashed back stock with .tot then .kdz file, problem: the phone shows 16GB instead of 32GB. No problem, I fixed it with this method. But now, every time I tried to flash CyanogenMod or others CM-based ROMs (I flash the correct Bootstack, etc), either the phone is stuck on CM bootanimation or go into Qhsusb_Bulk (Many partitions when you plug the phone to a computer).
But for stock / stock-based ROMs (like Cloudy, Stock Flashable Zip 30F from @somboons), no problem, the phone boot into system. What, for you, can cause these problem?
Thanks.
By the way, LG G2 32GB Sock Lollipop D80230F.

LG G2 display problem after going back to stock

a few feeks ago bought a second hand lg g2 d802 running kitkat 4.4.2 wich was only detecting 2g when i try to connect to the internet, i tried to solve this problem by entering the hidden menu and selecting the network types it could detect but no luck, so i decided to upgrade to lollipop, i downloaded the lg support tool and went for it, when the update was done i found myself with an almost completly functioning device except it had the "imei=null" problem, meaning no network at all --"
i tried the QPST but it was unable to detect my phone, so i decided to root my phone and go for a custom rom, the cyanogenmod13 nightly (i don't really know what i was thinking at that point :s ) and when done i was stuck in a bootloop, so i tried flashing a stock rom kdz method but the lg flash tool would stop automatically. since then i've been trying to flash stock TOT roms, the process would stop at 94% and the phone reboots. the screen shows random pixels and lines, the start up lg tune is there and i feel vibration when i press the home buttons location, i've tried to reset it to factory settings and i've used theLGUP_8974.dll, selecting the BOARD DL option in the lg flash tool but that didn't solve the problem. i have read somwhere that it could be a kernal problem, i don't know if i should go that way ( am at that point where i don't want to mess up my device anymore xD ) what do you guys think?
thank you for your help

Sounds like to me you may not have a D802. You'll need to take the back cover off, and look and see what model #s you see. As if your having screen issues that sounds like your flashing a D802 firmware on a D800 or D801.
Also remember flashing will almost always stop before 99%.. Anything after 85% its done this is normal and will almost always happen.
These D802's have a LONG history (mostly bought referbs) of not being what they are being sold as.

Bricked VS995..

So I bricked it good.
This isn't working.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/restore-v20-to-100-stock-bricked-devices-t3524903
I successfully went from 14b to 12a, started the root and ended up getting stuck at a static screen, after wiping with twrp and rebooting. Followed some steps to hopefully eliminate the static but in doing so I was at 30 mins no boot. (3 times) I decided why not start over and went to flash the 12a kdz again, and now everything I do gets me back into "Firmware Update" I can get to stock recovery, which doesn't make sense as I had TWRP, flashed.
Every option in the stock recovery, sends me back to the "firmware update screen" I've tried countless times to kdz flash with LGUP, everything is detected no issues, just fails usually at 11-13%
Here's a picture of LGUP errors

I was thinking of trying to use either 13a or 14b kdz but I've hit my download limit for the day from the site (its 2 by the way) the 14b download failed as my internet kicked out.
I have the 12a .kdz, and a 12a.dz and the ability to extra the .dll (that method also didnt work) I've got to missing something here. I've had the phone for 4 days and its a paper weight now. (A free paper weight but that doesn't make it any better)
Please help... thank you

I have used lg up twice months ago. Never had any issues with it. Try running it as admin.

I'm running uppercut as admin to no avail. Do you think because its on 12a, and I'm trying to flash 12a?
Edit :
Apparently you cant flash the same kdz, as the version youre on. The14b finally finished downloading anmd it worked first time. This can get closed now. Thanks!
