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)
I have a d801 g2. When i flashed twrp i used d803 autorec because that is the only way to flash it on this model. So i installed cloudy g3 rom. Now i want to unroot back to stock lg d801. G2. First thing i did was i went into download mode and used lg mobile support tool to install stock rom. The phone recogized it as a d801. But when it went to the install it stopped at 49% and canceled the install. So how would i root it back to the d801 model. Im afraid if i install a d801 rom, it might brick my phone. Can someone help me?
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.

after that it restarted and then i got into this weird boot issue.
now whenever i start phone it goes to firmware update page.
i go to lg flashtool and i try to flash the stock rom 4.2.2 for D800 but it says failed for model is different.
i choose D802 and it says same
i see that in firmware update page on phone, it says cloudy 3.3 and it says mobile version is 802 but my phone is actually 800.
but now neither 800 nor 802 stock firmwares are working on this piece of ****.
i also have backup of my stock rom in twrp but i cant go to twrp.
