accident flash D803 to D801 lol

hi everyone
if your like me and like to flash and flash stuff by accident things that shouldnt be on your varient lol. (my phone is D803 rogers and i managed to flash t-mo onto it and got stuck in fastboot mode. no download mode no recovery possible at all at this point no matter what button sequence i tried instantly fastboot)after hours of research and trial and error. i managed to use a couple programs that helped me boot my phone D803 which now thinks its a D801 and fully boots as T-mo and at this point it booted and my simcard is not a proper sim it says.
anyways the story is i was able to create a zip that turned my D803 which turned into a D801 back into a D803 and save my fastboot bricked device woohoo.
if any1 needs info on how this was done i will write it down when i have a little more time on my hands.
and also i will thank all the people i can that made the forums and tools that were needed for this to be done.
thanks Jester

were u able to get it back?

Goto AT&T Dev section, find my poweruser ROM post. In the first post there is a dll that you can use to flash back to your original firmware. Does not check model number...

Yes, I had to use fastboot and remove system. Once I did this the lg g2 tool allowed me to reflash the phone back to factory.

D803 question
Hey, kind of related... I'm considering upgrading to the G2 (from Samsung GS2 LTE aka: skyrocket) but i noticed that there isn't a 'D803' or 'rogers' section in the forums. So if i want to flash a custom OS, which versions should i be using? 802? are there dedicated 803 roms and I'm just not seeing them?
Any info would be appreciated.

most roms youll see d800/801/802/803 etc. most cm and aosp are fine i found. just dont do any off the stock kitkat flashing. thats what i did and i got lucky once... i fixed it. but the second time i killed my phone
this site has a few roms made for d803 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611749

Hey what's up. I had this issue happen to me and it was a big pain for me to fix and there is no official fix. This is what I did in order to fix it. You basically need to adb pull your build prop end change the model number to your original number and place it back on your SD card and change your system over to rewrite able and push the new build prop to your system and bam!!!!! Fixed

im guessing my issue was a bit different. as i couldnt even get a download mode.
what i did was use
fastboot used erase laf then flashed all the ones im gonna mention. d803 laf.img flashed that and since i was already flashing laf i flashed all the rest i could find such as recovery aboot etc.follow this thread to do all this if you have lost download mode and but have it stuck in fastboot mode
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595 thanks to cms88168 for this step by step. just download all images for your device. mine was d803 so i downloaded all d803 imgs.
then you can head over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483043 and get the DLL file he has made which works with any version i tried 801-802 and 803 tot file. . thanks to AndroidUser00110001 for making this dll file.
you will need to get your model tot file and LGflashtool which can be found it the thread posted above. but please make sure you have your proper tot file. flash that and your good to go. sorry im sure my instructions are all over but should be in right order. im just used to doing not explaining for others. good luck and hope you fix your device

Bricked g2 please help

I tried almost every way i saw on the forums, i have a d802 rom on my ls980 when I go to lg flash stock it fails and says cannot cross install d802 to ls980. Ive seen some with the same problem, if anyone has a solution please Help,I used optimus 1 click tool and it factory reset my phone but it was still on the same rom and now I cant even get into download mode.

I have optimus G pro 2 build, no recovery mode, the touch screen is off so it's difficult for me to maneuver around the phone, I can get it into USB debugging mode, I'm not sure if the factory reset remove the root or not. when I hold all three buttons volume up volume down and power key it goes into this mode asking me if I want to use the volume keys to answer the phone. as I think of the rest of the problems I will post them. thanks in advance

Not sure but try this http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-flash-unbrick-lg-g2-back-to-stock.html

What is your g2 model number
If your g2 is ls980 and lg flash tool think it is d802 try flash with d802 tot file first
note . You must use dll from kdz firmware
Extract dll from kdz using kdz extractor
Dll name must name as LGUP_XXXX
Flash with d802 tot
After you g2 will force to fastboot mode
That fastboot we need
If u are on fastboot
eras your recovery and flash your original laf.img using fastboot (You can find this tut by google suck as lg g2 fastboot)
that will make your download mode came back and now u can flash with your ls980 tot firmware without error

I've never tried that with ls980, but I've done it with my vs980 a bunch of times. Should work the same for ls980.

ok thanks for the reply. I just got my g2 2 days ago wasn't paying attention and pulled a dummy move and formatted data instead of formatting system and erased everything off the phone. erased my nandroid, efs, etc. I still have twrp but since my efs partions are gone my thinking was I should just go back to stock. I could side load but I really wanted to figure this out so if I ever have a warrenty issue I will know how to get the phone back to out of box stock. I got the phone brand new with LS980ZVA on it. any suggestions? should I side load? what about efs? also I don't mean to hijack this thread. thanks for any help in advance

I've done the exact same thing that you did and I found it was easier to revert back to stock but I guess it depends on how familar you are with the process of doing so. It's definately worth learning as well. Plenty of good forums on how to do it.

ok I appreciate the advice, but all I can find is a LS980ZV7.tot. not a LS980ZV8.tot or a LS980ZVA.tot. ive been researching this literally for hours and hours now. my brain hurts. what I really want to know is if I do the LS980ZV7.tot, go that route, will I be able to get back to LS980ZVA (latest update) thru OTA update? also how do I know the .tot file I have is the 32g and not the 16g? that's making me nervous. ive read where quite a few people have done this and thought they were using the 32g version or whatever and they flashed and then their phone was only 16g and lost the 16g of storage. idk man. im coming from a lg optimus g and the development over there on that phone and procedures and all of that is way more easier to understand and cut and dry. over here on the sprint g2 as far as trying to find clear answers, its just not as easy I guess. maybe im not looking in the right places.

updating to LS980ZV8 as I type. super stoked. the link u posted @stillwaiting255 is the post I had been reading over and over again all day long. lol. so just for anyone interested once u go back to ZV7 stock u can then update OTA to ZV8 then ZVA.

here is a stock ZV8 http:slahslashdownloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/LS980/Stock_Firmware (Thank, autoprime), I know ZVA is floating around, just search and you should find it.
Also just a little piece of info I picked up along the way, I used the correct .dll (LGLS980_20130904_LGFLASHv151) and renamed it to the reported models .dll (LGUP_8974), after doing this LGFlash Tool then ran the update, as normal. best of luck!

[Q] Why I bricked my phone with LG Flash tool?

I have LG G2 D802 32GB. When I bought it, there was Android 4.4.2 KitKat installed.
Then I rooted it using ioroot25 and installed custom recovery using AutoRec.
I flashed CloudyG3 v1.2 rom by @Cloudyfa using TWRP.
It was working really good except the VOIP calls, thus I wanted to revert back to stock.
I found this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
I tried to flash it using some Europe Open KDZ from this page: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda%2FLG+G2%2FStock%2F
The flashing started and stucked at I think 4%. I rebooted the phone and it appeared as qhsusb_dload.
I can't remember if I clicked on Normal or CFE flash. But I think it was normal.
I tried to unbrick it with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
After that I got only LG logo and no recovery, no fastboot, no download mode, no qhsusb_dload mode, no nothing.
Now I got board replacement. The board have rooted Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean installed.
As I want to have CloudyG3 installed. I tried to do that by installing custom recovery and then flashing the CloudyG3 rom and KitKat baseband. But I think I have a battery drain issue, as Cludyfa already said. I also tried with flashing the Cust and Persist partitions from the KitKat KDZ, but my battery didn't got any better.
The question is, why I bricked my phone with LG flash tool? What should I do to make sure that this won't happen again?
I made backup of entire phone nand (mmcblk0). Should I DD it if I get the bulk mode (qhsusb_dload) again?
Thank you in advance for your answers.

@mss1988 if the phone is stuck at 4% just let it still for some time cause the program could might be bugged or some other error, just leave the phone on dont restart it cause the phone has first removed the stuff and didnt copied the bootloader etc yet.
If you get qhsusb_dload mode then I suggest to use the unbrick guide and also Pick the right files for your phone. You can DD your backup to your phone but using the unbrick guide seems safer to me.
Also check when you can use that qhsusb dload that all files are copied good.
Tip to prevent brick after root and custom recovery: Flash an stock rom through recovery or an stock rom which got modified under the hood.

If it was stuck at 4% you could ask it on the thread of the lg flashtool since the dev of it and or other users may know the problem.

Tried Installing Cloudy G2 3.3, bricked my F320L

I flashed the rom, followed all the steps. Everything was perfect, didn't get any errors.
When it told me to reboot however, i did, and just got the LG logo followed by a persistent black screen of death.
The phone that i am using is LG G2 F320L. I am using TWRP Recovery. I am able to access recovery, and have done that several times since the issue, to wipe everything, reinstall, what not. Doesn't help. Even after a reinstall, the black screen after LG logo is there.
Can anyone help me out?

Me too.
Same problem here but mine is D802 international. Now going to try Cloudy G2 2.2 instead. It was running 4.4.2 KitKat stock.

me too...now stuck with just LG showing.

D802 - Sorted
I found this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...ide-how-to-install-cloudyg2-3-1-d802-t3137055 There is a patch for the D802, I think it installs the Lollipop baseband. There's also a link for an updated TWRP - updated from the one autorec installs. So now it works, just booted to the LG welcome screen. Not sure if the patch will work with your F320L, but you can't be any worse off if you try! Good luck.

How you can access recover? I trd the logm press button and release with no result
F320s the lg logo shows onñy for a half second and then the black screen
I was runnin 4.4.2 stock kitkat with autorec twrp
Thanks

wrong bootleader .u need kk bootleader for cloudy g2 3.3 if u can acces recovery install kk bootleader or use srktool to unbrick

here you go... just make sure to use f320l files. if you need more help just let me know..

Just happened to my brand new D800 as well. Any solutions? I'm downloading stock atm as I can only access Download Mode. Thanks!
EDIT: Fixed it by flashing back to stock! Only thing is that I'm now stuck on Jelly Bean. :/ WHY ISNT THE OTA UPDATE WORKING?!?! Lol. I'll go do my research!

okay so i recently bought a used g2 with cwm recovery pre-installed. Now the problem is that whenever i try to flash a custom rom like cm12 it shows installation successful but when i reboot the phone from recovery after installing the rom the lg logo appears and then on the top left corner of the screen it shows "fastboot mode started" and "udc_start". how do i fix this? i just want to install a rom cuz the stock rom i have does not have google services and apps installed on it..
if this helps here is the software im running:
Android version: 4.4.2
Baseband version:M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190082
KERNEL VERSION:3.4.100
BUILD NUMBER:KOT49I.D80220c
Software version: D80220c
i had a nexus 5 before this and i flashed many roms and kernels with no error on it however im not too sure about the lg g2 so you could say im new to this kind of stuff on this phone. i would really appreciate if someone helped me on this issue.

Some d802 are refurbished. Most likely yours is also due to the fact you are getting fastboot error. You will have to open your device up to see the exact model it is located on the back of the motherboard.

I didn't open the set but I was in the middle of flashing a ROM with aroma and I clicked on device information. There it was written that this was the d800 version. So what should I do now?
