[Q] Accidently installed rom for AT&T on D802. HELP!

Hey,
I've had my phone for a month or so, and I was changing the rom, and accidently installed the AEON v3 on my D208.
Now my phone is stuck on fastboot everytime I boot my phone, I've looked around and tried everything
The Back to stock thread doesnt work me for, I keep getting stuck at 49% and LG Support tool shows L02E
I've downloaded the latest, and the 3.9.1 drivers, all install except for LGE Phone Software.
I'm very frustrated and need help fast. I have no backup of the phone (which i forgot to take)
Can this be fixed? any ideas? - and or is it possible to push a new rom into my D802 from fastboot or through twrp.
I can access download mode and twrp.
Thank you.

Use this method to flash back to stock. DW phones are hard to fully brick now days.

Edit: sorry didnt fully read your post xD Before trying to wipe in lg flashtools. Go into twrp and wipe everything! data, system etc. Then try the tool again, i had the same issue as you. OR you can simply flash a new rom for the D802 inn TWRP.

It seems like you have wiped your baseband/modem. Go into settings and look at the baseband version. if it says unknown then its been wiped and you will need to flash back to stock or you may be able to flash a new modem.

Nope, Baseband shows as M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190036,
Also I flashed back to stock earlier and it made no difference, sometimes I also get a popup saying "phone not authorized. turn off and restart your phone. if network is unavailable, contact customer service"
My phone recognises I'm on talkmobile, and same with other different sims, also in network info it shows "In Service" but Mobile network state is disconnected. I cannot pick a network operator as said, and I've tried many roms, reseting my phone, and wiping the whole system and such while I was having the fastboot problem.
I'm really confused and afraid I've turned my phone into a hella expensive mp3. Is there anything I can do, or maybe I can show you so you could help? that would be really appreciated if you can.

Ahh i thought that. Some other guy posted the same sorta thing as you about signal completely dying He bought his online too. It turns out his device was reported stolen, so the carrier blocked it, the same way yours is (no signal) but don't worry it might not be that, ill go check the post and you can ask the guy how he found out.
EDIT: his post - "Well would you believe it. After much messing around, flashing modems, going back to stock, flashing with different recoveries etc, I took the plunge and paid for a checkmend.com report. It turns out that the device I bought on ebay 2 weeks ago has been reported as stolen and is barred on mobile networks in the UK. Paypal claim already done...
So just in case anyone else has a sudden problem with no signal, it might not be a bad flash!"

The sneaky bastards selling a stolen phone! At least you found out anyway, i hope you get your money back and no problem :good:

Might not have been stolen they may have sold it and then made an insurance claim on it to get a new one cheap. I have heard of people doing that to get a phone and money and screwing other people over. Either way pretty messed up to do that too people. Hopefully PayPal and eBay will help in resolving the issue

Thank you so much!

What I don't understand here is how can a stolen phone in a particular country can be blocked to be used all over the world. I see lot of ebay listings for BAD IMEI AT&T and T-Mobile phones being sold for international usage(outside US) & I know some people buy it for International usage and it should in a vice-versa situation. Is the OP from outside US & bought International version on ebay hence he can't used it in his country, because outside north-america, every country gets same model except for some Asian countries like South-Korea, Japan.

ialright buddy, i just checked my imie number and it appears to be incorrect, this would result in not being able to make/recieve calls,texts. ive still not found a fix for the note 3 yet if i find one i will post it. It might be worth a check on your phone too. press *#06# in your phone dialer to display the imie on the phone, then cross reference it with the imie number on the box your note was supplied in (providing you still have the box).

pretty much given up
This is the closet ive come to finding an imie fix for the note was post #350

i can not access odin at this period in time becasue i dont have access to windows enabled pc or laptop atm. i will give it ago myself asap (probably a few days time) if this doent work or someone else hasnt chimed in with any suggestions i am giving up on this piece of **** phone.
I dont mind bricking a device (to a degree) through my own tinkering or error. But for a phone to work fine then 4 hours later when i wake up suddenly being ****ed, is just rediculous and makes no sence.
only thing i can think of as a slight possibility (and not very likely) is i have been using crash rom since it came out and have the OTA updater installed, maybe it tryed auto updating itself over night and ****ed up resulting in these issues

Put your sim card into another phone and check if it works?
Just to make sure there is NOT any problem with your sim card or your mobile service provider.

Thanks alom, this is my first micro sim phone so i dont have a spare sim to test it with myself, i will pop down to vodafone tomoz and borrow a sim of them and try mine out in one of their phones.

Good luck. And hope it gets sorted.

Unfortuinately not my sim card
Went down vodafone today and tryed their sims. Their cards do not work in my phone but mine works in their phones. The lady in the shop said to re flash the stock rom and factory reset it and they will send it off as a hardware failure rather than software and hopefully they dont notice the knox has been tripped. She then said if they do notice and refuse to fix it, to put a brick through the screen and make an insurance claim.

hehe i wasnt expecting it perhaps she had a rooted/custom rom phone too she seemed to know alot about it, she also said that the latest official OTA update from samsung has been causing this issue for lots of people on the Note 3, she thought thats what the problem initially when i said i had no service, so perhaps my blower auto updated itself whilst i was asleep if i didnt have auto update disabled? either way someones dropped the ball at samsung if there knackering phones using the OTA update.

i have also same problem.i do imei of s9005 and now its give error not register network.i also a
flash it but samse problem.is there any solution for this problem

Yup you got short changed, that is a counterfeit Note 3, If you have a look around the forum you will see some threads of a similar nature. No IMEI is a worry though... it means your phone cannot and will not function on a network.

thanks for responding so quickly, that's kind of what i figured. i have done some research and it seems i can restore the imei number if i can get the phone to root. its on the back of the phone under the battery but not programmed in the phone itself.

As long as you have your IMEI you should be OK. Hardest part will be finding the right OS to root etc. Good luck anyway, sorry you got screwed

thanks, hopefully with any luck some one will have some os suggestions.

First I would try to read all the fake reviews (i've seen more than one) to figure which phone you actually have . I mean even if unlikely, this could be original Note 3, made for Chinese market? no? Once you know which phone it is, it would be easier to find some support and help.

IMEI repair

Hello!
I have tried searching the g2 forums for a way to repair my IMEI, as the one I had has been set to all zeroes. Is there any way to fix this? I do not have any backups of anything on my phone, i have tried using maui meta, but for some reason it cannot interface with my phone, and neither can hyperterminal. i get it to connect, but then it doesn't let me type anything.
If anyone knows a way to fix this, i would appreciate your help greatly! PM or on the forum here, either work just fine!

Do you have a stock ROM back-up of your device form before you lost the imei? if so, restore that and it should restore your imdi. Other than that i can't tell you much else, supposedly once your imei is gone, it is gone for good.

I do not. There is no way it can be gone for good. It has to be editable with a hex editor or something somehow. Just because it is illegal to change your info dies NOT mean that it is impossible or that people should stop finding out how to do it. I have tried all the simple tricks with terminal in su mode, but they don't seem to take. There has to be another way.

Ha, never knew changing/adjusting your imei was a legal issue. As to changing it back, i suppose you are correct, the imei is on the box and the sticker from the device, you all you gotta do is find a working hex editor and type the imei back in.

Where would i find the file with the IMEI in it, so i can edit it? i mean, i tried the backup way, but the img files jack everything up so i cannot edit the imei in them.

Because of identification issues, imei is rarely changeable by average user, its not likely it will ever be some file you can edit just like that mwahhaha

i had this same problem on a windows phone. i tried to reinstall the stock rom on it to get my imei back. i could get the rom installed but had no network connection because imei was still messed up. long story short, if you have no efs backup then you're just f'ed. you may be able to get it fixed with a jtag repair. there's a company that specializes in things like this if you google them. they are mobiletechvideos. i've delt with them before and they are nice people. the only option you may have is to change your imei. but that is illegal.

actually lg can do it also

Well how would I go about changing it, for educational purposes only, of course. We'll just say I'm not bound by the same laws as you folks because of where I live currently, and the fact that I purchased my phone.
if LG and companies can do it, then we can do it as well. The information is somewhere on the phone, accessible to these people, so it is there and accessible for us as well. There is no way that this is impossible if someone else can do it.

IMEI is what your service provider use to turn off phones if its stolen, and use it to track down people that stole your phone. Once its gone its gone, this is call a hard brick, you cant fix it, send it in or buy another phone. Stop being a hard head, or having faith, you cant fix this.
P.S Dont give him your IMEI, if he did manage to fix it with your IMEI (by an act of god), that means your phone is Effed...its like stealing identity.

you sir, are retarded. I am not asking for anybody's imei. if you could understand what was written, you would see that i am attempting to figure out how to edit the imei. it is not illegal to change your own phone's imei unless it is stolen, and i do not live in america or europe so i am out of those d-bag's jurisdiction. I can legally do whatever i want.
I cannot send in my phone because it is beyond the warranty, and i have already rooted it. it is not hardbricked, because it still turns on, wifi works fine, a hard brick is when your phone will not even boot up. learn your terminology. IMEI repair is possible, obviously, because tech companies can fix it, and so are the manufacturers. if it were hard coded, the manufacturer would have to pull a chip out of the phone, which is highly unlikely as it is neither cost nor time efficient.
you stop being a hard head, and thinking that things are impossible. if everybody thought like you, we would still be beating each other over the head with sticks.

I was once in the same boat whereby I accidentally restored the efs backup from my wife's g2. Fortunately I had a backup of my efs and everything was fine after I restored the original copy.
Sorry this info will most probably not helping you.

you are right, imei's are not hard coded. most of them are just a txt file in the partition that is read. but if you corrupt that partition then you cant get that txt file back. not all manufacturers use a txt file though, as was the case with my lumia 920. nokia uses something else, like a xml file that is harder to alter than a txt file. this is why i suggested a jtag. they will be able to get you back up and running but there's a possibility that you still wont have you imei repaired. in that case you wont have network connection. lg can also do this for you. if they wont be able to recover your imei they will just give you a new one that is not associated with any other phone. but i suspect lg will want some money to do this.

you sir, are retarded. I am not asking for anybody's imei. if you could understand what was written, you would see that i am attempting to figure out how to edit the imei. it is not illegal to change your own phone's imei unless it is stolen, and i do not live in america or europe so i am out of those d-bag's jurisdiction. I can legally do whatever i want.
I cannot send in my phone because it is beyond the warranty, and i have already rooted it. it is not hardbricked, because it still turns on, wifi works fine, a hard brick is when your phone will not even boot up. learn your terminology. IMEI repair is possible, obviously, because tech companies can fix it, and so are the manufacturers. if it were hard coded, the manufacturer would have to pull a chip out of the phone, which is highly unlikely as it is neither cost nor time efficient.
you stop being a hard head, and thinking that things are impossible. if everybody thought like you, we would still be beating each other over the head with sticks.

who's the retarded one? the one that got their IMEI deleted or the one telling you that its not possible? this issue was first discover on the Samsung Galaxy S2 and no one has an answer for it unless you backed up your EFS, which I'm sure you dint.
your right you can do whatever you want, but I'm telling people not to give their IMEI to you, in case they dont know. If they are dumb enough to give it to you, then they are just as dumb as you for deleting your IMEI.
you can send it in, if you dont have warranty, then pay for them to fix it...duh? if you want to play then you gotta pay. Your right your phone is not technically "hardbrick" but if you cant make call, cant connect to service provider, cant send text message, cant do what a phone suppose to do then its a hard brick or would you like to call it an ipod touch? because I'm happy to accommodate you. G-luck dummy lol.

We don't allow IMEI discussions on XDA, especially discussions which are heading the way this one is.

Well acting smart to know the ways of changing IMEI?

Stop acting stupid. Throw the phone away. Stealing is not a good habit.

Yeah..but IMEI is a thing stored in the chip which is programmable only ONCE.
How can a custom rom change it with flashing. No such custom rom or ROM developer has done such a thing.
Also when there is no IMEI or anything related to IMEI you cannot use your phone anymore.
Xposed IMEI thing is just like changing the numbers but again I aint sure what happens after a reboot. Never tried such stupid acts.
Throw the phone away if you found it...or use it without a sim card for the rest of your life.
