Hi, I am firsttime here, I brought LG G2 international version this week, and I am using T-moblie network right now. The network isn't good as my last phone, I try to flash LG G2 t-moblie's base band to D802, will it works fine? or I should not do it?
Hi friends,
I recently bought lg g2 and i think it's refurbished. I need to know whether it's converted d802 or original d802, how do i know ? I am asking this question because in market converted version of d800 to d802 ( motherboard is of d800 and casing / software is of d802) is available and now i am confused about my phone.
Specs in attachment.
Thanks.

A Easy , but a very very easy way is:
D802 has radio
D800 don´t
Radio FM works? if works, is a D802. If not, it is not a D802
I thought the same idea but after than i read other threads in which d802 in other countries doesn't support radio feature

Also check this ss for model , kernal and other specs
It's been days and i don't even get a serious reply from anyone. Please help i need to root my mobile but for this i need to know whether i'm doing right or wrong.
If you need to be 100% sure which model, you have to open back cover and see which model you have. AFAIK, this is the only way

I'm a newbie. And it's a new mobile for me. I can't open it. Is there any other Way to check ? And i doubt it's a china version lg g2 d802 which supports 3g only. Because it shows gsm/wcdma option in mobile networks. You can also see this thread.

Hello, resiliently I bought refurbished LG G2 that claimed to be a D802 version.
After a few days I noticed that very often GSM network signal drops with no reason and 3G Internet is very slow eater.
So I decided to update its original KitKat with LGMobile Support Tool to Lollipop in hope, that this will fix my GSM and 3G problems.
After the update phones touchscreen is unusable and it do not read my SIM card, after a quick search I found that this usually happens to refurbished phones because they are not D802. So I disassemble my phone and find out that inside is D800 motherboard.
I found that solution for this is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58536078&postcount=75
So , where can I get stock D802 lollipop and stock D800 kernel?
And can someone provide me with treads about flashing LG's G2?
I bought my G2 from a seller on Amazon. It was sold as D802 (I wanted an international version as I live in Europe). It worked just fine.
Some time after I broke my screen. I ordered the replacement and realized that the top connector is not compatible. After further inspection, I realized there is a "D800" printed on about every piece of hardware inside the phone (motherboard included). I bought a D800 replacement screen and that one fit. Phone is now as good as new.
I now wish to install a custom ROM. I don't know if I should install a D800 or D802 ROM. Hardware does seem to be D800 (AT&T version btw), but software ('about -> hardware information' in options) says it's D802. I never managed to do an OTA update, it would fail for some reason.
By the way, some time ago I rooted the phone and installed a custom recovery (philz 6 - luckily it's the same for all versions of G2 or I might have bricked my phone).
Thoughts?
From what you have mentioned, it looks like you have obtained a D800 device on which somebody has installed a D802 ROM.
That's probably the reason you aren't able to do the OTA update, as the update meant for D802 is being forced upon on a D800 model.
A ROM meant for D800 should work, but you have to test this at your own risk!
Thanks for your post.
What confuses me is that I bought a factory, sim free, brand new phone. Hard to see how someone could've force fitted D802 software on D800.

Using the "LG phone from" app, based on imei it seems that my phone's version is D802T (australian version it seems), was on mobile operator named Optus. Seems the seller has lied about the phone.
Still doesn't solve my problem, what kind of a ROM to put on it?

New info: IMEI in software and on the back case does not match.
By the way, the phone can't be 802T because it's screen is compatible with 802, whereas my phone is compatible with D800. Which means they messed with the IMEI.

imei.info says mine is D800 (same as motherboard). Another one says it's D802T (can't be, screen not compatible). Back cover imei says it's D803.
Did you flash any custom roms? If so, for what model? Right now I'm thinking I can't go wrong flashing a D800 rom.
Modem is from an AT&T D800, so it must be that.

you need to open the back cover and you can find your model at the bottom (original model)
alternatively you can go to your recovery which is stock will also tell you the original model...
for me removing the back cover and stock recovery it says ls980 and its 100% true as i recovered my g2 by using tot file for ls980

Back cover says it's D803, which can't be as the screen wouldn't be compatible. Also, the IMEI on the back cover is different to the one in the software. As for the recovery, I've already flashed a custom one.
