[Fixed]no IMEI,bad touchscreen after flashing D802 kdz. - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am not a dev or expert,I am just a regular guy who is suffering after buying franken D802.while trying to fix it,I have read a lot and saw that 70% users can't get there phone back.And TOT hex editing seems pretty hard to me as I could never pass previousload error.
So lets start from the beginning. I bought a D802,then I tried upgrading it by D802 kdz.now the phone has
1.No IMEI
2.bad touchscreen.
3.internal storage or MTP isn't shown on PC.
4.etc.
Now let's start.
1.open up the phone,see what's written in the motherboard.most of the time it's D800.
2.then get an OTG mouse and try to root it via apps like kingroot ,stumproot etc.because PC rooting method with IOroot doesn't work most of the time.
And don't worry if it shows error,keep trying.
Important:
*it's not possible sometimes to download apps via WiFi.I don't know why.if that happens,try installing them from a pendrive connecting via OTG HUB.
*If apps never gets installed,disable Verify Apps from settings>security
3.after rooting,change the model number and all D802 to your model(D800 in my case) via editing build.prop with any apps like es file explorer or build prop editor.
4.reboot device and see if software version,and model number changed.
5.flash D800 or your TOT or KDZ without any editing,from download mood.if your download mood shows secure boot error,use SRK tools to fix it,and SELECT D802,again SELECT D802 in SRK tools.
Because if you choose your model,like D800,your phone will go in fastboot mood.
Bingo!maybe your G2 is back! ✌?
Off topic:Took me 1.5 months to find a way to fix it! ?

I am stuck a fastboot mood after selecting D800 in SRK tools.
Fastboot devices aren't recognized and no QHSUSB_BULK .?
I am really afraid of tearing the phone up and shorten pins or something!

I don't think you have to shorten pins if you have fastboot!
What's your phone shown while connected to fastboot mood in PC?

Oh I had the exact same problem! ?
Uninstall all drivers,then installed updated LG drivers.and then install PDAnet.
Look at device manager.It should show your device as ADB interface or something and your phone should have a new line "fastboot processing commands"....

Oh I don't know how to thank you!
Pdanet drivers did my work exactly as you say!! ?
Now what img should I flash?
D802 or D800?

Of course D802 as it thinks its a D802.
Then flash KDZ,then after booting up try doing as op..
Best of luck .. ?

You are a life saver!
Worked perfectly without any haste.
Thanks alot

Open up the motherboard and see what's written there.
But most probably you have D800.
And if that is the model,here you go for the Tot.

The other solution is you have to edit the hex of D800 TOT file,which I could never succeed at.

[Q] G2 d800 with d802 rom/firmware bad flash

I bought a broken AT&T G2 that the buyer did a bad flash or something with. Doing some playing around on the phone I see that the phone is d800/ AT&T G2, with what to appears to be a d802 firmware in it. Phone turns on and boots up to main screen but touch screen doesn't respond well and it reboots after maybe 1 min or two.
I have tried lg flash tool but get failed because it reads the phone as d802 and the dll/tot file are for the d800 and doesn't give me an option to proceed. Also tried LGMLauncher but doesn't download the software, gets stuck at 11%.
Any other help will be appreciated, if not I'll resell this phone.

Unfortunately not. It's in a boot loop and when I hold power and volume down it just goes to
[800] fast lot mode started
[850] udc_start()
And that's all I get can i force it into recovery another way

Going give this a try again. But the issue is if my pc has enough time to sync with the phone before the phone reboots.
I've tried something along those lines but to no avail. My phone doesn't show up on my computer in its current status. How can I get map to recognize my phone I have the drives installed and lg upgrade tool can see it so I know it can kinda see it. When I ran Adb devices nothing comes up on the ASB command prompt

don't think that's going to work for my situation but I'll give it a try in a bit. So I would get a d800 rom and load d802 .dll? I think once the program sees the .dll file and the firmware, it will fail.

fastboot flash laf laf.img
here how to and tool for fastboot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595
i think this partition also the responsible for phone type ex D802 or VZ980 where LGFlashTools use it to detect phone type
laf partition will bring download mode to you
Hahaha tried this one to and the one it links me too. My phone isn't reconized my my computer so doing things throught the PCs CMD is out of the question for me and so is pushing the boot .img via ADB since my phone wasn't In debugging mode when I bricked it. But again thanks man. I think I've exhausted most of the conventional fix it threads on this since I've been looking through everything since Sunday

[Q] [REQ] DLL for flashing D805 10B TOT file through LG Flash Tool 1.6 - Please help

Guys, I really need to find the LG DLL file database for flashing .TOT files.
The DLL file I need is for the LG G2 D80510B_00 or LG G2 D80510A_00 TOT file firmwares, to be used on 1.6 LGFlashTool, for Brazil unbranded variant of the phone. I believe it will work for all D805 models.
The .TOT file I intend to use is LGD805AT-00-V10a-724-05-AUG-23-2013-16G+0.tot
I have scoured the internet for over a week and found none other than in a chinese LG G2 forum, the link -- http://bbs.gaodi.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=662769&extra=page=1&filter=typeid&typeid=2381 -- and the file was no longer available for download. I registered on their forum, but the file was showing an error even after proper registration.
I have not found this DLL anywhere, is there a database for it? How did people come up with the AT&T and Vzn DLL versions? I haven't been able to extract it from the KDZ files either, and the DLLs generated from the KDZ during UpdateTool does not work.
I had bricked the phone originally by trying to use Scott's Clean Rom on it, and it bricked into fastboot mode. I flashed something wrong on fastboot, I can't even remeber what, and rebooted, and fastboot was no longer accessible...
I can get into download mode, and factory reset from stock recovery, no custom recovery available, it is gone. I try to flash KDZ files, many versions besides my D805 one, just for the sake of trying, but all of them get stuck on the 49% point. I have set up port 41, disabled modem, reset phone before trying, selected many different language combinations besides my own Portuguese one. Nothing works.
On LGFlashTool 1.6 it seems like it can work, but it errors at 1%, when I use the DLLs for D800 or D802. I need the DLL for D805. I even managed to find the proper TOT file.
I have also searched for about two days on how to reenter fastboot mode from where I currently am stuck.I even did a DIY Factory Cable on an micro USB I had lying around, soldered it all right, but it did not work, and the cable got very hot. I think these cables will not get G2 into fastboot mode, like it seems to do on Kindle fire and Motorola devices. Maybe my DIY was not that good, but I think it should have worked, I made sure the soldure was set and good.
I am downloading Android SDK to try to get back into fastbood mode from there, if there is a way, as it seems to be. I would try to reflash boot and other partitions in an attempt to fix my phone... Is there a way, or another faster path back into Fastboot?
Download mode does not show the version of the firmware on the phone in the box that displays information in the bottom while fdlashng KDZ files. It leaves a blank line where it should be. I believe it is part of my problem, that LGFlashTool does not see a version on the phone at some point, and fails. Or the phone rejects the PC pushes.
I am almost going to the tech support guy with a flash box downtown, but that would be my last resot, and then official LG support, if all else fails. I don't want to go to LG yet because download mode shows ROOTED in red, and they would see it probably, and my warranty become void.
Thanks for any ideas, guidance or help... Cheers guys.
Read this carefully may help you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595
Yeah, that was the guide I used when I landed on fastboot after a bad flash from CleanROM... I flashed some boot.img and recovery.img that didnt work out well.
After I flashed these I rebooted and fastboot mode was no longer loading, instead, I am now on bootloop of the LG logo, with no animation, just the first logo that shows on boot, and I can access stock recovery to factory wipe and also access download mode. My download mode shows rooted warning, and while I am flashing a KDZ, does not show the firmware version I currently have in the middle of the box - before I flashed those .IMGs, it did show the version.
I now a, after a .DLL for D805 10A .TOT file, and I cannot find it. I think the flash method from LGFlashTools 1.6 will work, with .DLL and .TOT files, where the LGFlashTools 1.0.5 did not work for me, with .KDZ.
Or if anyone knows of a way to get into the fastboot mode for G2, pelase let me know. Then I could reflash some .IMG files and hopefully get my phone back online...
Try to flash other version even this is 802 or internetional version. At least you can proof your phone completly brick or not.
I only have all TOT file link of F320 and D802 if you need to try.

Thanks to all that tried to help me! I appreciate it a lot! Thank you so much!
My only solution was to try short the capacitors following this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404
Thanks God I don't need to mess with the board!
My problem was that I tried this ROM LineageOS 17.1 with latest version of TWRP Blastgator. Everything was running fine until I flashed Magisk and installed some Mods, then the device rebooted and I get stuck at logo!
No System and no Recovery access, only Download mode! :crying:
Then I followed this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
I used to install some custom ROMs like Cloudy G2, LineageOS, Resurretion Remix and AOSPX Pie and tried to this new one. I never had any problems!
This time I realized that my device was forever bricked, my last hope was to short the capacitors but I tried all ways to back to Stock because in Downlaod Mode my device was recognized by Windows.
I tried this in Windows 10 x64 but no success, then I formatted an old HD with Windows 7 x64 to try again!
Old Flash Tool get me stuck at 2% or 4%... no success in both system with all LG drivers available... NO SUCCESS!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53313255&postcount=5400
LGUp only gives Unknow Device and never start but it's seens the device on port 41 - that I changed following the tutorial.
My last hope was New Flash Tool but I needed TOT file for my Device - D805 not D802 and the correct DLL. initially I didn't find anywhere... Like this guy:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583851
I give a lot of tries... a lot of different files, DLLs, tried .KDZ and .DZ, only errors and errors... a lot of "Failed to Load()"...
I'm getting frustrated until I see this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
And found this mine of gold of Downloads:
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/
And again, thanks to all, there is a hope in the D805 folder!
I get the TOT File: BIN_LGD805AT-00-V10a-724-05-AUG-23-2013-16G.zip and tried the LG Firmware Extractor (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600575) to get a new DLL (LGUP8974.dll).
And voilà, like a charm that WORKED!!!!!!!!! :fingers-crossed::highfive:
It installed Jelly Bean the with the Official LG Updater I installed Kitkat and finally Lollipop.
Later I'll try this LineageOS Rom again!
I hope I can help someone in need like me!!
I thank this forum a lot!!
And please excuse my English!
Thank you so much!

Help... Imei null

Hi, first of all, this is my first thread on XDA... this is the best site to find any answer related to phones...
Im experiencing a very hard trouble here with my LG G2 D805
I bought it refurbished from a person who made a wrong flash to this device and he gave it to me bricked... so i decided to get into the task to fix this phone... first i made it power on in the first day... the phone on the back cover, says d805, but in hardware info says d802...
i read about about those changes and it was something "common" and "easy" to fix, but hey... then i checked and had Imei NULL... and it begun to restart almost every 3 minute... this is supposed to happen when there's a wrong modem.img on the phone....
the phone says on the back that its a 805, so i went into tutorials to make the 802 root and recovery,, i got it.. then i tried all of this:
- Try to change my build.prop model number, no success
- Tried flashing 805 modems (i found 3 different), no success
- I found other tutorial where it can be fixed with tot files, and i found dll and tot for 805. no success
- Tried normal flash on lg flashtool with 805 kdz, no success
- Tried CDMA>Cs_Emergency>CSE flash, no success
- Tried uninstalling all drivers and again the above, no success
I found just one way to make it "work" and as long as i had recovery, i flashed cloudy rom... it works, doesnt reboot or anything... But the only thing I'm missing is my IMEI... it shows NULL, and also i dont have baseband, but can use everything except simcard related
the KDZ's i've tried are here http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=36
I tried with:
D80510A_00.kdz
D80510B_00.kdz
D80210A_00.kdz
and its variables from countries
also tried all this steps and flashed that only tot file that i could get to find of 805: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2667258

@GTMoraes i think you choose the hard way, and i need to tell you,the phone is not a D802 now. and no one need to accept that, there are more easy ways (i past for this and i learn how to fix whithout flash a D802 kdz) than make your D805 a D802 G2:
1. Uninstall your drivers and install again
2. Just replace the the phone build.prop for a D805 build.prop reboot and flash your D805 kdz, done.
3. if you done have a D805 build.prop just edit the one you have and change all d802 lines for d805, reboot and flash your D805 kdz, done.
4. try the @monkey5i solution ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50751778&postcount=9), it works too.
5. if the 2 past ways dont work for you, do this:
- follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475045
- for the guide use this tot file http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprim...N_LGD805AT-00-V10a-724-05-AUG-23-2013-16G.zip and the attached dll file
- follow the guide and done, this guide unbrick any LG G2 Variant whit the proper tot and dll file.
6. share this post for any who have problem going back to stock or the 49% flash error.

If you truly have d802 hardware, you may have to flash a d802 modem in order to get your IMEI back. Do this at your own risk but it has worked for some of the d802 frankenphones that actually have d800 hardware. (d800 modem restores IMEI in their case)

I already tried that, it didnt work... hardware says d805, but when i recieved it said 802... i know now how to change it from 805 to 802 and back, but flashing every baseband i found for 805 and 802 would not work, took every BB for those versions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451426

You may have to attempt a fix with QPST then assuming you know your original IMEI.

Already tried, but always get a error message that says something like cannot write Imei... i think it can be drivers issue because sometimes when i connect it says installing CDC serial and after minutes it gets error... do you know if this is making some conflict?

But you are able to enable usb debugging and attempt a qpst fix without it rebooting? Do the reboots only occur when you try to open apps?

Need EFS backup from an AT&T D800
Hi, I have the issue IMEI = null sinse I've done an update of a rebadged D802 (really D800) from KK to LP, I tried everything i found in forums but nothing changed.
I can't use NV tools or QPST because the phone is not recognised and the connection can't be maintained.
So, the last solution i didn't try yet is to flash an EFS backup from another AT&T D800.
so, where can I find an EFS backup (with IMEI 0 or real IMEI, i'll change it with mine)
It'll be very nice if someone helps me getting my phone back to work
Thanks

[Q] Possible epic brick...read inside for details!

So, I fudged up here. I installed a BUMPed KK bootloader thinking my kernel and recovery were BUMPed. Was using Render Kernel, turns out the Lollipop version is BUMPed, not KK. Good job, me! Got secure boot error loop and I still had TWRP, so I flashed the JB baseband. No boot. Tried to restore a backup I had (Mahdi + Render). No boot. Well, might as well use LG Flash Tools to go back to stock. Like I haven't done it 80 times before....Failed! Failed! Failed! . . . Failed! (I can't remember how many times I've tried).
I've tried every which way and LG Flash Tool gives me this:
PID: NULL
IMEI: NULL
Model :
DLL : D800
BIN : LGD800AT-01-V10o-310-410-OCT-19-2013+0.tot
SWV :
SWOV :
Model Information Check FAIL!
00000000
So, am I royally screwed?
So you're stuck with black screen/frozen LG logo?
This guide should help.
I did try that guide, and couldn't get my phone to show up in any distro I tried (Ubuntu, Puppy, something else? I think?). I'm going the buy a working one, sell the borked one on eBay route. Oh well, can't win em all.

It says model information check failed.
Did you maybe flashed another rom before or what because the LG Flash tool first checks as a safety measure or your phone is really D800, but you might have a mod or yeah I don't know what you all did but your phone Might is now D803 or some other number I don't know. But what you can do is edit the Dll with some hexeditor as far as I remember to D801, D803 etc Till flashing works.
So just edit the D800 DLL to think that it must check for another device model number which your rom has which you used last? And you should be fine with your issue and you can continue flash it to stock normally. I hope it's not too late for you yet cause it will spare you some bucks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56961336&postcount=251
Or just try to find the good dll file, or a DLL file without checking phone model is maybe the best. I hope you can still fix your problem. Goodluck mate,

I LOVE YOU
I hex edited the DLL and TOT files. Turns out the TOT is what I needed to edit, not the DLL, as I could use the "universal" DLL. I started seeing the firmware being updated and said "O M G." My brain couldn't even comprehend it. :highfive:

[Q] Did I brick my phone?

Hello,
I have a LG G2 (D802). I was busy flashing the stock KDZ, when I got an error. The progress on my phone stopped, and nothing happened anymore. I wanted to try again, so I turned my phone off. Now, when I boot my phone, it gives the LG logo, and then nothing. When I connect it to my pc, I get a lot of format pop-ups.
I followed this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
The KDZ I used: Netherlands Open 16GB KitKat D80220D
Furthermore, also while connected to the pc, I only see a folder called "image".
Can someone help me with getting my phone back to stock? It doesn't matter if everything gets wiped, I already backed up everything.
Thanks in advance!
If lots of drives still pop up when you connect your phone to the PC,then follow this guide:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQVTc2m6U-I
I did it,and it fixed my download mode,and I could finally access Download Mode.
If your Download Mode still works,try the TOT method,it worked for me,since the KDZ method would be stuck at 2% every time(in my case).
So,after,or if your download mode works,do try the TOT method.

Oh,and go to the Device Manager and tell me what name your G2 has when connected to the PC.

Download the kdz suitable for your model and flash it with LG Flash Tool.
Follow the "Back to stock" guide which you mentioned in the OP.
There will be a link to the KDZ archive for various models,and make sure that you select the kdz for the 32 GB variant if you have a 32 GB variant. Because it will be dangerous if you flash a 16gb variant kdz on a 32 gb phone.
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Forums Pro.
EDIT
And if the same thing happens when flashing,fix it again(if it won't access the download mode) and try to flash while using another PC.

Yes,excellent job.
To root,download "Towelroot" to your phone,install it and press the "Make it rain" button,then install SuperSU,then look for "AutoRec" and make sure you get the version for your variant.

It is in a flashable zip,so just flash it with the TWRP which was installed by AutoRec.
You must have the bumped version of TWRP!!
After you flashed the BUMP TWRP,reboot recovery.

It is complicated,just do it. XD
I was asking the same thing like you.I ignored others,rushed with roms,didnt use the BUMPED TWRP and my phone was bricked.
Basically the TWRP you get with AutoRec is just capable of flashing partitions for the bootloader,not the system partition(the rom is in the system partition).
The BUMPED TWRP has a certain type of an exploit,and lets us install those system partitions.
Shortly:You can't install roms without the BUMPED TWRP.
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Forums Pro.
I'm guessing my phone is refurbished?
I bought a D802 from a third-party, with:
- 32GB ROM
- 4.4.2 D80220b firmware
- 2G, 3G, 4G working
- The csmg.lgmobile.com website said that according to my IMEI, my model is the UAE 32GB D802 and gave me the D80230a firmware for manual flash via LG Flash tool.
I used the phone for a while, rooted it and used Xposed. Never got recovery so no backup(wish I'd seen the SRK tool before). Then I downloaded the firmware from the csmg.lgmobile.com website. I flashed it via the Flash tool and everything seemed fine. Then it booted:
- Touchscreen was erratic. Ghost touches, dead spots, phantom touches, whatever.
- The Baseband Version and IMEI in About Phone both say Unknown
- ROM has converted to a 16GB version
- Download mode is fine along with every other feature of the phone
After that I looked around and found a UAE D80220c firmware and flashed that. It flashed fine but all the above issues remained the same.
I browsed around extensively here and found out:
- Refurbished phones have their back cover and firmware changed to imitate D802's.
- My phone is probably some other G2 model with D802 firmware and an altered IMEI
- The actual model of my device is UNDER the motherboard. Which, apparently, I must get hold of so I can flash the appropriate stock kdz. This gets a bit too hardware-y for me.
So, basically, my phone is no more useful than a brick at the moment. Any expert help would be appreciated but here are the main questions that I'd really like answered:
A. Should I try various flashing the kdz files from different models mentioned in the link I gave up ^there until one clicks and then try to do something about the IMEI?
B. Is there any chance that my phone is beyond repair forever?
C. Should I stop messing around with my mediocre knowledge and take it to a repair shop?
