I rooted my phone a while back with Cloudy G3 and it worked pretty good for a few months, then the 4G stopped working. I had my sim card replaced, but that didn't fix it. I then tried fixing it and hard bricked my phone. With the help from this site, I was able to get it to download mode. I did the update software from lgmobile and it installed 4.4.2 and did a factory reset and the 4G still didn't work. It now has 4.4.2 and I had to root it with stumproot, because towellroot wouldn't work. I then used the flashtool using the kdz file, but it still didn't give me my 4G back. This time I was able to root with towelroot and install all my rooted apps. I found the apn settings for verizon, but after I put them in it won't let me click it as an option. When I go to the setting there is one called vswinternet, but I can't update it. I seen on the net about deleting lteconfig.apk, but I don't have it. Any ideas?

Then download the lteconfig.apk this will give you lte
I did , but it didn't do anything. I even copied the.apk
to the location and restarted, but nothing happened. It's version 1.40624
Any other ideas? I even went through the build.prop settings and tried adding a new APN with the Verizon settings I found, bug it doesn't one. Is it possible I did something to the hardware? I tried different roms. Will flashing the modem.img do anything?

I also tried the lg support tool and updated it even though it said I had the latest version (d80220b)
does anyone know how I can install this
my device isn't rooted but has a little bug on it since I tried to root it...
it makes it so I get some secure boot error when resetting my device...

anything else I have to make sure?
won't the secure boot error cause any troubles?
I really want to play it safe as for each time I tried something like this (flashing bios on pc,attempting root etc)
something bad happened and I luckily managed to fix it in both cases

Do a full factory reset on the phone first. Then flash using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

Just factory reset (on the phone) and then flash...
Hi all, hope you can help me. I've tried searching on the internet but no-one seems to be having any problems like mine. and my phone is now near enough bricked.
So i bought a LG G2 D802 from aliexpress, all working fine but no 4g lte option for some reason. Had a look around and seems updating to stock europe rom would have sorted this so i thought id do this.
So Updated the rom using flashtool2014, downloaded lg usb drivers, the europe rom D80220D_00 and lgmobile support tool. Went through the process and it all ran fine with no errors completed 100%and then said done pressed exit and disconnected phone.
Now, switched phone on . Straight away touch completely messed up click on the screen and different parts keep of the screen keep clicking. Eventually after 15mins managed to get out of the startup where it asks for wifi settings etc so i could try to factory reset. No luck even out of startup have not yet managed to get to the screen for usb debugging yet due to random screen clicking (keeps opening other apps, screens).
I cannot rerun the flashtool as i cannot enable usb debugging or even switch away from charge only to pc softwarw and it just says phone not connected on the flashtool and keeps ending.
Switched off by holding power button for long time. Holding down the down button and power does nothing just keeps restarting when i eventually let go.
Also sim is in phone but it says service disabled?
Any ideas how i can fix the phone! All was working fine before I did the europe rom update
Thanks
Jon
You can connect a mouse via otg and navigate to usb debug

Maybe try factory reset and just use mobile support tool update stock rom?

I would just use a wireless keyboard with an otg cable like sugested before

I eventually managed to select lg software as connection mode and flashed to another firmware but exact same issue again.
After trying for ages and opening the wrong thing again and again i managed to get to the screen in settings to click 5 times to enable developer options however now the screen just freezes and then you get a message saying settings has stopped working and phone locks up. This has happened 3 times since. Doesnt seem like anyway to get it sorted if i cant enable usb debugging.
Also it seems to be that the firmware change has erased the imei and that is what is causing all these problems. I found one site that details how to restore but once again you need usb debugging enabled.
Droidview has the page where you have to backup and restore imei, i dont have a backup so will need method 2. If i can get usb debugging enabled that is!

thanks for all the help, lg on screen just didn't work for some reason wouldn't connect to the phone. Was thinking about a otg cable but after an hour of clicking again and again I managed to get the developer options and usb debugging enabled.
I went through the procedure at droidview to restore imei using qpst but after finding the com port it says no phone detected so theres nothing more I can do, looks like I just have to accept this brand new brick lol.
Anybody know anywhere in London that does repairs like this, I have tried a couple of shops in London Victoria near work but they couldn't do anything. Apparently theres something called an octoplus/octopus box that can fix LG G2 imei or flash firmware.
Thanks again for everyones suggestions. .
Jon-jay, I have the same issue. I tried the "easy" kdz flash and tot flash and basically bricked my phone. The phone turns on but the screen is calibrated incorrectly like you describe so I can't click anything without trying over and over. I click one area of the screen and another is activated. I can pull down the notification pane but can't click anything in there. The phone is in a boot loop too if I don't touch it. I also want to turn on USB debugging so I could try to restore with adb or fastboot. I will let you know if I find anything.
Yeah very tricky to fix this phone after flashing. Ive flashed loads of lg phones with the flash tool and never any problems until now. Ive currently sent to a shop in south wimbledon who quoted me £50-£80 for repair if he could fix it. I dropped it off on mon and still no response so im not holding my breath. It seems this phone will be going to the recyclers if he cant do anything.:crying:

Check out the thread lg g2 is unbrickable now, it involves shorting a couple capacitors to unbrick but its ingeneious. I bet itll help you out.
.::.LG G2 D803.::.
.::.CLOUDYFLEX 2.7.::.
the plot gets thicker...
okay so it has been a few months now and I revisited the phone sitting around. This is how I got on:
I gave the phone to shops in London, no-one could fix it got it back first week of Jan. So I thought I'd retry myself.
One guy told me that the imei may be for D802 but the screen and insides of the phone is a d800 model.
That makes sense as the touch works erratically. This was a refurbished phone I bought from aliexpress which claimed to be a EUR D802 but after I took the back cover off it says D800\d801\d803 inside on a lot of the flex connections and at the bottom of the plastic it says d800. I downloaded the AT&T stock rom and flashed with octoplus - touch worked perfectly! but phone kept restarting itself and looping really badly so I put in download mode and went back to D802 uk firmware - and touch not working again.
(Prior to this I bought the octopus box also in the hopes that restoring the imei I had previously lost will somehow be related to the screen.
This worked in restoring imei only and I have restored the d802 imei with octopus box)
Anyhow I then flashed stock uk firmware on the phone so everything in the phone works perfectly fine except the touch! so I am controlling touch with otg cable and mouse.
my next thought was install a d800 custom rom it will fix the touch! Now I then rooted, and installed d802 autorec.apk. I came on xda and downloaded a d800 stock custom rom (D80020k) from the AT&T subsection and thought I'd install this through twrp. All though the custom rom says successful when I reboot it comes to fastboot mode again. so I then go about restoring the stock d802 firmware. I installed d800 autorec.apk but that too send to fastboot mode.
So I am lost. Everything working perfect except the touch. Any ideas anyone? Im hoping some one says there is a stock lg custom rom that has all the screen settings for d800/01/02/03 which will sort my problem!
What it seems is the chinese company selling the refurb has somehow managed to get a d802 imei on a d800/01/03 not entirely sure how this is possible either!

What they're doing is flashing a d802 system.img with otherwise d800/01/03 firmware.
I saw a thread in the T-Mobile G2 area saying to get d802 on your d800/d801 you just flash a custom d802 rom and then a d800/801 kernel but this causes my phone to go back to fastboot...still lost! the custom rom works fine itself (Except for touch again!)

There is a way to get them back to their original frankenphone state but it's quite a procedure. Flash d802 firmware. Use a otg usb mouse to navigate since it'll have touch issues. Root and install custom recovery using the actual hardware as your guide to which twrp version to install. D800 in your case. Do a nandroid backup. Move the nand backup to your pc for safe keeping. Now install d800 firmware using a hex edited tot to allow it to proceed and a generic dll to avoid cross dll issue. Root, install twrp again. Move twrp backup from pc to phone. Do a restore but only restore the system.img. Now you have firmware that cooperates with d800 hardware while appearing and acting like a d802 in every other way.
The other thought I had but have not tested yet would be to flash d800 firmware right off the bat, then root and install twrp. Then use dd to flash system.img to it's partition ( /dev/block/mmcblk0p34 ). I'm not sure how that would work due to the very large size of the system image. You'd have to extract it from the kdz. Because it's so large when it's extracted, it does it in parts so it must be merged back together to make one file. But if it did work, it'd save the step of having to root/recovery twice on two separate firmwares.
I rooted to 4.4.2 and it went fine- then I realized I had lost wi-fi.
I have tried to restore and tried using odin and zip files to install a stock rom after I found a similar problem with link on
Sprint forums saying it will fix the ""button won't stay on" but the fix only works if the device is in stock rom.
answer on Sprint forum says baseband version was mk2 needs to be nae.
Return the phone to stock, run the fix for the wi-fi and then re-root.
I have downloaded and ran several roms that say they are stock- I've factory reset, cleared cache, no matter what I do,
I end up with a rooted device in 4.4.2 and no wi-fi. If I could just get the wi-fi back I would take it at this point
This was just a little quick upgrade that turned bad and long
The Sprint forum had a link to get it to nae, but wont work if rooted., so need to put the phone back to stock- run the patch and then can upgrade to kit kat again
TLDR: I cannot get my Sprint s4 back to any version that isn't rooted. I have tried several (lots) of roms that say" stock-unrooted" rom,
Never goes back to stock- stays rooted without wifi-
Ran a rom VPUAMDC_L720SPTAMDC_SPR but when I install I get msge "ifooter is wring signature invalid" - and it fails.
reformatted the sd card, tried different roms and get some message and it stays rooted and no wifi.
TLDR: need to get stock rom so I can get back wi-fi and then root the whole thing. as 4.4.2 Or 4 , if it exists)
Any options and any ideas as to where or what to do?
EDIT: for clarity cause I am not making much sense at this point
Thanks
Heh... a TL;DR for a TL;DR... the internet is becoming one crazy place.

Maybe a dumb question, but why not just unroot first, then?
I rooted my phone a while back with Cloudy G3 and it worked pretty good for a few months, then the 4G stopped working. I had my sim card replaced, but that didn't fix it. I then tried fixing it and hard bricked my phone. With the help from this site, I was able to get it to download mode. I did the update software from lgmobile and it installed 4.4.2 and did a factory reset and the 4G still didn't work. It now has 4.4.2 and I had to root it with stumproot, because towellroot wouldn't work. I then used the flashtool using the kdz file, but it still didn't give me my 4G back. This time I was able to root with towelroot and install all my rooted apps. I found the apn settings for verizon, but after I put them in it won't let me click it as an option. When I go to the setting there is one called vswinternet, but I can't update it. I seen on the net about deleting lteconfig.apk, but I don't have it. Any ideas?
Hi, I followed the DirtySanta tutorial, used the US996 DeODEXed Rom. I knew this was a possibility but thought that I could get back to stock using the KDZ, unfortunately my phone is now seen as US996. I've tried modifying both the build.prop, and KDZ but I still can't get LGUP to flash back to stock. Is there anything I can do?
Service Unavailable is probably due the frequency signal issue.
Remember that Wind runs in AWS bands, while the US996 runs on regular bands (Bell, Rogers, Telus)
I'm sure the phone works fine if you use a Rogers SIM on it.
so, the trouble / solution is figuring out how to flash back the Tmobile / Wind modem back into the phone.
also set the phone to use the proper AWS bands 1700 / 2100, or the new LTE band 66

T-Mobile H918 supports LTE Band 66, try and flash a H918 ROM maybe? Or access the hidden menu and enable AWS, but you'll lose LTE and only have 4G that way.
See here to access the hidden menu but change 915 in the command to 996 or the model the phone is showing as.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/access-hidden-menu-h915-t3515098
Edit: Let me know if it works, and you get LTE back (not just 4G) I really want to know to root my H915 as well. You used the [LS997|VS995|H910|F800L] DirtySanta Bootloader unlock and Root guide by me2151, right?
Second edit: If you're going to try to flash an H918 ROM I'd strongly suggest you flash an H918 kernel that is suggested in the dirty santa thread, I think the Konverged is what people are using. No hard evidence either way flashing an H918 ROM would work but it may not as the boot image is a 996.
Thanks guys. I flashed the Konverged kernel earlier, it helped crash-wise but nothing on the signal end. Last night I extracted the files from the H91510e kdz and tried to flash the modem that was included but that hasn't helped, I want to try the CDMATool but it isn't recognising my account so I'll wait for a bit. I tried to use the hidden menu but it doesn't seem to do work on this firmware unfortunately.

Try this, make sure USB Debugging is enabled. Turn off phone. Remove the battery. Put battery back in. Hold the volume up button and plug in USB cable. It may boot into download mode or it may boot into the dirty santa corrupt screen. If it does boot into the corrupt screen , let go of up button, press the power button then IMMEDIATELY press the volume up button. Either way you should be in download mode. You want download mode, not fastboot. Make sure LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.1.1.exe drivers are installed.
Download LG Support Tool. http://www.mylgphones.com/lg-software-tools-download the 'Download and install LGMobileSupportTool.exe' link. Install and run it. If you've already installed the drivers hit cancel when they go to install.
Then go to 'Options' 'Upgrade Recovery' Make sure you have the IMEI number from under the battery and put it in no dashes or spaces. It should download and install the firmware if you've done the tap 'About Phone' 'Developer Options' 'Enable USB Debugging' but I'm sure you know this.
If all goes well you should be back on stock firmware.
Hope it works, it should but I'm not 100% sure.
The good news is that it recognized my phone as H915, but unfortunately half way through the setup it through a weird error. Part of me is thinking of restoring my twrp backup and trying uppercut again. I'm hoping that will get the program to see my phone correctly.
EDIT: I tried the KDZ installer again, without trying to restore the TWRP backup and my phone is back to stock and getting a signal. Thanks again to the both of you.

What I suggested worked without the TWRP backup? Or another way?
your best bet is to somehow find a way to install the stock rom through TWRP then you can install the KDZ. Cause I had the same issue as you, i have a Verizon V20 with the US996 rom and it wouldnt let me flash the verizon KDZ until I installed NotSoStock rom thats based on the Stock Verizon Rom
EDIT: Just saw you got back to Stock. Disregard this lol

I didn't use the TWRP backup at all in the end. Your method didn't fully install, but it made the phone see itself as an H915 again which allowed uppercut/LGUP to install the KDZ so it was a big help
Congrats! on the recovery, this is a good reference thread for anyone trying to recover from a bad root, and needs to get back to stock.

Are you saying you have a rooted 915 with everything working?
guess not lol
I am having the same issue with an h910, but the service only works sometimes. Many times it is searching (and draining the battery in the process), but sometimes it will get service and be OK. Quite frustrating, and no way to revert because no kdz available. Anyone else with h910 having this problem?
Hi,
I'm not sure if I'm off topic here or not. I have an LG V20 H910-10c (Nougat 7.0) and I am having an issue with a Service not working after using DirtySanta to Root my phone and I am praying that someone can help me out with. I have already tried a Factory Wipe/Reset and Wipe Dalvik/ART & Cache and have Formatted Data to remove Encryption, etc..
Timeline: The phone worked fine in all aspects before Rooting it.
After Rooting it, I had this issue.
I then tried a Factory Reset and got stuck in a TWRP Bootloop.
I fixed the Bootloop issue with a Reset (Yes then Yes).
The issue is still there.
ISSUE: When I boot into Android, I get the following message;
"LGSmartcardService has stopped"
.....and I cannot use my External SD Card (TWRP sees it fine, I Flashed SuperSU from it).
I have Googled my brains out and simply cannot find any suggestions, except to perform a Factory Reset, which I did and that's what put me into the Bootloop and I reset the way you said and now it boots up okay, except that error message is still there.
I have not put any apps on the phone or anything. It's factory fresh (except for Rooting it).
I hope I'm not violating any rules by posting this, but the page I used to Root it has a REAL SMALL downloadable file called "V20-Root.zip" that contains everything, including the Batch files with the steps that they perform in them. I did NOT use the ROM, as that's ONLY for Sprint users and my phone is an AT&T model (Unlocked and my Carrier is MetroPCS). But I put it here, just in case someone wishes to bless me by taking a look and seeing if there's something to note. I am not a coder by any means. I do understand some basics, but I couldn't see anything that would cause this sort of problem. I did NOT install the ROM listed, because it's for Sprint users ONLY and I have an AT&T (Unlocked, using MetroPCS) H910. Here's the link to the page:
https://tinyurl.com/yacdendm
I really need my Ext SD Card to be seen! I use it extensively and it would be a real hindrance not to have it! Plus this is my ONLY phone (no landline) and I am disabled and must run everything, including my home network and laptop, etc. from it and I need its space for things I have to have available on my phone to do things that I need to do, so any help would be appreciated GREATLY!
I do need to be Rooted, so going back to factory with whatever Mpdel # ROM an LG Tool sees me as might make me unable to Root again.
Please Help Me and Thank You!
