Possible to Convert LS980 to D802 ?

Please HELP!!!
can you guys please tell me is it possible to convert Sprint LG G2 (LS980) to International version (D802) firmware?
looking foward for your help.
thank you!

Yes it is possible with lots of searching and hacking. It is way easier to do permanent SIM unlock procedure and easier than that, use a custom ROM. See link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655133
Here's my knowledge from the conversion. I could follow the steps in that post but the phone never really worked right. The steps to make the phone work on GSM carriers caused menus to disappear from within the phone, such as ability to change APNs. It works but there's a better way.
I flashed an AOSP ROM to my phone. Shameless plug here for LiquidSmooth beta, I've had the least problems getting a working phone with that ROM, actually works out of the box. While on AOSP, I can replace my Sprint LTE SIM with that of another carrier, reboot the phone and then go to the *#*#4636#*#* menu and change radio mode to GSM. I'm using an AT&T SIM now, domestic even and can SMS, MMS and have HSPA+ data, no LTE. If for some silly reason I want to switch back to Sprint, just swap SIM card, reboot phone, change radio mode in the hidden menu. Simple.

Thank you very much mate :highfive: ! but actually what i want is to have D802 (Stock) firmware on LS980. because D802 is getting updates so quickly. ( Knock Code) i searched for a way to convert but i couldn't find it. can you guys please tell me is it even possible? because both devices are have same hardware except the LTE band! looking forward for your advice. thank you! :good:

I know it's possible. I read once what has to be done. There's some trickery that has to be done in the build.prop which makes the phone think it's another model which would allow the flash. All I can say is search. It is on the XDA forum. The term used was CID change. Found a ton in 2 minutes all related to HTC One on Google, finding the G2 should be easy enough with search.

Once time converted, the frequencies GSM 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS 850/900/1900/2100 (3G), LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600 (4G) it work or not?

Please someone answer this last question .
Once converted, will the converted LS980 support the frequencies of D802 ( GSM 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS 850/900/1900/2100 (3G), LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600 (4G)) instead of the LS980 frequencies ?

Simple answer is "No" . because frequencies are hardware things. we can only change softwares. LS980 will not have D802's frequencies by anyway.

Yes there is a way to do it but I don't know, me too I'm searching for this solution, because I bought a used LS980, and when I plugged it into PC the LG Support tool ask me if I want to upgrade the software of the phone (Into Lollipop) and the actual version at that time was D80230e, I let the authorized the LG Tool to download the update, and when finished, everything goes wrong the phone became unusable, when I push in a zone it react in another, and it was really hard to achieve the first steps of the configuration, when finished I decided to open the phone and look at the motherboard and bingo I found that it's an LS980, then I downloaded the LS980 firmware, I flashed it, and everything became OK, except the lost IMEI, then I tried to resotre the EFS backup that I done before that I upgrade it with LG Tool, and then the phone stay on the LG logo...Right now my phone is out of service, I use it as camera and nothing else...I'm searching for solution every time but I found anything...Is there any solution ?

What about changing motherboard only, will that work ?

How to recover IMEI ?
Sent from my LG-H818 using XDA Free mobile app

On order to restore your IMEI you've just to flash your phone with the ZVD version and let the OTA updates install,then you'll recover your IMEI, but if you flash again with the ZVD you will lose it again

If you sure you have right firmware for you're Note 4 "910F" flash again with Odin!
Set Odin by default! Tick not RE Partition and so on!

Does that mean it cant be used normally with a SIM Card, just Wifi or is there a way I can get it to work?

You have an app "Samsung Retailmode" in your appdrawer?
So open Configuratin Settings in this app, than you have to enter Admin Passwort! Enter 1. Password : 5444
After this disable the factory...... here you need second password! 2. Password : M729Q16K8546
After this check reset and reboot! Hope that helps!?

I already removed the Retail Mode App from the phone and flashed a stock ROM, but I cant get the SIM card to work and access mobile Networks (Baseband Version: Unknown). I would like to fix that and get it working normally, (maybe flashing some different Modem or Mod to enable network access) but I don't know what to flash or how to do it. :crying:

I know only the method with Unlock from RetailMode App!
Maybe it works when you flash Retail Firmware/ Install Retail Mode app and try it with the passwords above?
You can download retail mode app from playstore!
if you have a live demo unit you'll never can get it work, so there's no hardware (modem) inside

What stock ROM did you use to flash, and what is your device's info?
Can you show the device's info with this Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app?

I just found out I have exactly the same device = tablet. I'm kind of dissapointed.... ;crying: Can I at least sell it for spare parts? If not I'll just use it as a tablet. I was cheated by the seller. he didn't say anything. Great app btw. will use it from now on...

As you can see in the screenshot, there is no info about Modem Board, so I doubt it does not have modem hardware (?).
Can you show me all screenshots from that app? (you can use S Pen to capture screenshot easily).
And also can you show a picture of the back sticker (behind the battery).
Thanks.

Nothing ?

Same thing happened to me too,but before that I had a fully functionaly phone.After I flashed many custom roms ended in bootloop and only a stock rom NEE 5.0.1 works,all other stock rom I flash ends in bootloop.And baseband unknown,imei null,no modem.

I think from Note 3 onwards, samsung has choosen to make separate hardware for its demo devices. In some specific models even the AMOLED panel also is unique and can't be used with other devices. I am currently working with samsung. Earlier we were using these demo devices for personal use and for spare parts. Right now it's good for nothing other than playing games and surfing Internet.

[Q] All sensors DO NOT work

Hi all. All sensors on my G2 don't work. They stopped working for no reason when I was on CM11.
When I sent the phone to service center they gave me it back (after a month) and claimed it got oxidized by unknown sunstance...But I think it is bul**hit ... that service center (I had no option to choose because it is branded phone) is propably the worst in my country. They also wrote I complained about buttons and touchscreen not working - which is not truth.
What should I do ? I read some posts about similar problems ...It seems to be a SW problem... But I would like to know what exactly shoud I do to fix it so I won't kill my G2
Shoud I flash official JB ? or baseband or what?
I tried to flash latest versions of CM .. I also flashed Stock KK ... But it still doesn't work.
Thank you

Anyone have an LG Leon LTE stock ROM?

I was tinkering with my new T-Mobile LG Leon LTE (MODEL NO : LG-H345) and broke the cellular service (installed Xposed for Lollipop and com.android.phone keeps stopping, tried Fix Permissions, doesn't work). Does anyone here have a Leon LTE or just have the stock ROM laying around? I've got TWRP installed, so that's not a problem.

I can make a back up but i have the lg Leon MS345 (metro PCs)

This links to H345 not MS345, IT'S NOT METRO FIRMWARE. The person who asked needed T-Mobile so they probably ran into no problem, but notice the file name on mega download. Thanks though, have you flashed HH firmware on MS devices? Does it work, what differences are there?

It is for Metro, I test it , wel there are some difference like you have Voice calls via Wi-fi, the notification bar have small changes too , but not a big deal and it's android 5.1.1 . For me Signal wasn't working cause i'm at Greece

no
no it's for T-Mobile, i flashed it and it's got tmobile boot and apps, but a locked boatloader that won't allow me to install twrp, so wheres the " i knew what i was talking about " button? oh thanks, ive now got a basic not really supported T-Mobile device. A little misinformation and lack of due diligence just took the fun out of owning this device.

it is a big deal, i just flashed it and ended up with aa T mobile device. Your in Greece, I'm sure there's more important things to focus on for you, and i did take my own risks, but thanks anyway.

As i search to unlock your bootloader it's a simply option in developer options.

I just purchased my LG-H345
Android 5.1.1;
Stock LMY47V;
Software version - H34510e
BaseBand - MPSS.DPM.2.0.c11.00021

Anyone have the stock ROM, kdz, for LGL33L? LG Sunset.
I've asked elsewhere but so far, nothing.

I was in the same problem because last month I got a new LG Leon (H340Y) with all that annoying icons and boot screen the carrier use to put. So, I was looking for a stock ROM without all of it. Googling here a there I've found this page
lg(dash)firmware(dash)rom(dot)com
Hope it works.

No such issue for me, never seen the moisture bug and finger print sensor working fine.
Does fingerprint sensor register anything? Back glass have contact points to work with motherboard, maybe they are not aligned after your type c replacement??!! ?

Hi sir, do you use call recording app with your g6?
The reason that I'm asking is because I am with G6 H870DS like you but with Android 8 I would like to upgrade to Android 9 but I'm afraid that call recording will not to be optional in the new version of Android 9 can you please assist me with this question?
The app that I'm using for call recording is ACR
