Frankenphone Bootstack question :'( - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, my lg g2 is a frankenphone with a fake IMEI ( internet imei verification sites tell it's a Sierra Wireless device...)
Anyway, I've managed to root it and install the latest TWRP and everyithing, but I was wondering if flashing a lollipop bootstack would mess the IMEI (since it updates the modem)
I'm on stock Kitkat btw.
Also, there has been that stupid screen telling me the LCD is damaged while it's not, and it pops up every now and then, which makes me consider installing some custom rom ( I'd gladly take any recommendations
Thanks in advance

[Q] Is my phone blocked or what?

I bought LG E-610 and for first 2 days everything worked smooth, but then I lost signal.
I tried another carrier pre-paid card but nothing.
Today i found site where you can check if phone has been reported stolen/lost, but in that site it appeared that this IMEI is not blocked ( cannot post url becaue of post count )
So can someone tell me what I can do?
Ics or jb stock rom? Try reflash firmware with kdz update. If signal dont work, flash custom rom for example (cm, paranoid, slim, aosp) V10:
https://disk.yandex.ru/public/?hash=ZgMUkPrv26U/y5mTbUv0u1JSjqvddHpWsNTxCJg428g=&locale=ru
Kdz: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nw4wgfifdk9idq9/KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.rar
Sent from my LG-E610 using xda app-developers app
try restoring the rom first,, if it didn't work then u need to reflash the rom
ROM
I have stock ROM, but originally had V20D ( or V10D ) something like that, and I thought that flashing KDZ would fix, so I flashed V20G, but still no signal.
i will give a try to your reccomendations.
my friend told me that my IMEI could be still blocked but that I could change it on my own ( i know illegal and stuff )

I have problem
[email protected] said:
Took me a while to find this on my old posts, but here it is. This should work with EVERY d802 kitkat aosp based ROM out there so here it goes:
All you have to do is look for the Meta-inf folder>Com>Google>Android and the updater-script file should be there. Download Notepad ++ and open the updater script with it.
The first lines that you have to edit should look like this:
Edit them so it looks exactly like this, and make sure to keep the same format. All you have to do is change the "d802" and "galbi" for "d803"
Like this:
After that, replace the boot.img with the Furnace Kernel boot.img (the one made for aosp, it works with most 4.4 roms), save and close the zip. Put it in your phone and flash, along with the G-apps and optionally the QuickRemote.zip if you want to get remote functionality.
If you don't feel comfortable with replacing the boot.IMG yourself, skip the boot.IMG replacing part and go straight ahead and flash the modified ROM.zip and afterwards flash the furnacekernel.zip
If I didn't make things understandable, just say it and I'll take the time to explain more when I get home. I'm replying from the phone and its kinda hard to do quotes and stuff on chrome

Depends on what Kernel and rom you used. Ever since they updated roms to use either LG 4.4.2 sources or just JB sources it got a bit tricky. It seems youre using a JB kernel on a KitKat sourced rom.
Hi guys, I'm new here from hard bricking Claro 803/801. I'm very confused on what to install and what not - the official version of TWRP seems to be 2.6.32 but there is a 2.8 material design version. Again with roms, I'm not sure what is allowed and what is not. For someone fairly used to Cyanogenmod on my One X and also having heard of Cloudy G3, what would you guys recommend
Question re: D803 vs D801
Hi, I was referred here from a reddit sub while looking for information, it looks like there are lots of knowledgeable people here so I thought I'd post.
First off, for context, I'm a complete n00b when it comes to doing any sort of modifications to a cell phone; pretty much everything I've read here over my head. Rooting? Flashing? No clue what those are
I currently have a D803, and I love this phone. But, I do NOT love my carrier, as I'm being charged ridiculous fees, so I'd like to switch. The problem is the carrier I'd like to go with does not support the D803, as they use the AWS 1700 band (from what I can gather), which means I need a D801, in theory.
I saw someone advertising they can modify my model of phone (among others) to work on the carrier I'm interested in, for $25. Do you guys know if this is even possible? If so, could someone explain to me what the risks would be?
Thanks!

While I cannot speak for the LG G2, I know that with the Skyrocket I was able to flash a modified rom to have it work with Wind's AWS system. It only worked in places close to their towers but never very well. However since the 801 (T-mobile) works on AWS you may want to buy one of those/swap or maybe see if you can flash that radio (D801). NOTE: I cannot guarantee that will work and flashing the wrong radio may seriously damage your device, or so I've heard.

i tried to install D801 stock ROM on it. it said it is D802
now i don't know what to do. H/w it says D801/803 but its not accepting D801 ROM but is accepting D802 ROM which i installed again and was sucessfully completed.
and i cannot use it because i touch phone's screen at one place and it's reacts on another place

this method gives me link for following version:

but when i instal this rom my phone's touch breaks, giving multiple touch points at a time and dead zones, imei becomes 0 and baseband is aslo not present and phone memroy appears 10gb on computer.
this is the correct firmware for you. this is not a ROM but a full fledged update that you must flash using update tool. I suggest you ask on main forum about this problem...but one thing is clear. do NOT use claro update, or you may hard brick your phone.

I need D80220D-HKG-XX kdz.. please provide if anyone has any idea where to find it. thanks a ton
Hmm... Maybe you want to switch to another rom or boot TWRP if you have installed to see if this is hardware or software related issue. Then you can reflash or smth if it is a software issue

[/COLOR]Install Lg Pc suite.
Make sure you have NO root or custom recovery
Open pc suite (make sure you have all g2 drivers they should come with pc suite but just in case)
Then select region of your phone hkg probably asian one (not sure bcz g2 in asia are f320 models)
Then find the recovery option in pc suite and it will reflash your phone with the latest firmware availible. (if root or recovery installed device WILL brick here)
Rooted or phone with custom recovery may get bricked or not flashed!!!
Make sure you select proper location for it so it doesnt flash the same rom over again!!
If that does not work try to install stock kitkat rom and again no recovery no root try to update it normally.
If any of those doesnt help we are here to help.
Good luck

Small edit here HKG actually stands for Hong Kong international. It is still d802 but probably little differences not sure. Also not only touch but probably baseband problems will occur as data and signal etc.

First of all thanks alot for your response, as raptor mentioned refurbished phones have such issues it got me curious so i followed method described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/warning-to-people-bought-phones-ebay-t2991195
and found out on the motherboard of my phone its written LS980.. currently my phone is still stuck with the issue as i have installed 4.4.2 D80220d-HKG. i tried reflashing with LS980ZV8_13 TOT using lg flash tool.. method described here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRwlxeUprZE
but it doesn't download on the phone giving a failure or model mismatch.. here is my phone's imei as shown by Lg flash tool : 357246052164801
here is what imei.info shows when i write my imei there.
http://postimg.org/image/xx6rje1tj
any suggestion will be of great help sir. !
Maybe if you have custom recovery installed on it you could install ls980 stock rom easier than flashing via PC on the other hand you may want to check sprint or verizon website no sure which is which. To download ls980 drivers on your pc this might be the issue with not recognizing your device.
You can also check if there is any kind of support tool on their website might be helpful.
If that doesnt work you may install TWRP custom recovery on your device which makes flashing ls980 specific roms very easy. If you need help on that ill be happy to guide you.
Actually the method with pc suite recovery still an option maybe ? Maybe you want to give it a try.
Try different USB on pc i think it makes difference if usb 2.0 or 3.0 is attached my pc has 2.0 ports at back panel and 3.0 on front.

Thanks again for quick response, i tried upgrading via pc suite.. showed no update.. i am 100% sure the main board says LS980 and the back of the phone too.. but i tried to check imei in hard reset mode. Volume down+power till lg logo and then Vol down+vol up till is shows white screen.. the imei sure is of D802 and its showing most recent suitable firmware to be D80220b_00.kdz but im not going back there again i already tried to flash it. should i go on and flash LS980.tot anyway ?
If you can provide a link on how to install TWRP and then flash LS980ZV8_13 using it. it'd be a great help
If the board is 980 should not brick so you can flash it.
open the phone and check the motherborad model what ever says in it thats your variant .. thats the only way to make sure if yu already did look at the motherboard , not the rest of phone but motherboard and its 980 then yes use 980 rom.

Thank you all guys for your support. and just a piece of advice for noobs like me.

[Q] Recovery Mode LG Leon (H340n)

So after I rooted my device I was playing around with Xposed Firmware. And I was thinking if there was any way to "unlock the bootloader" and put a custom recovery . So if any of you knows any way please let me know
I already tried Flashfire
If you want to root your LG Leon H340n install the Kingroot app

Nice question i can give you a real life example, One day i install that version with no problems ,i unlock the bootloader , install the TWRP and then the rom. Everything was working fine (exept the rom bugs) exept the signal. If i was at America and had an Metro PCS card i would use 5.1.1 . Since i'm not there i can't install a firmware from another mainland. I doesn't know from people living in America like T-Mobile or AT&T or i don't know anything else, i ain't sure if it will work for them.
P.S : As i read from some news about LG Leon, we gonna get the update 5.1.1 , but i don't know when.
I have a way of getting android 5.1.1
I rewritten this twice to be a better & less cluttered work...so check out my new thread

But arent any 345 and 340 essentially the same device (Leon c50)?
As I dont have tested so much with lg devices, I may be wrong. But if the device is incorrect shouldnt the flash process fail? I have locked bootloader, so shouldnt I be able to install my factory kdz even if the flash process fails for using incorrect kdz?
And one more doubt: which versions are 5.1.1? D e and f? Also, is downgrade possible from d e and f to a version?

All the kdz files are defined by country, model, & carrier
It may not brick your phone if you flash the wrong one, but you probably wont be able to recieve calls or even read the language on your device since you flash another country/carrier.

Well for the sake of trying, that wont be a trouble. The only trouble would be not being able to access firmware upgrade mode after an incorrect kdz, or not being able to downgrade. I'd love to be sure about that, but I found no certain info around :/
I only tried another version (no carrier) for my h340ar and worked perfecty, but both were argentinian kdz and v10a. I wanted to try v10d e or f and see what happens. But this is my only device and here theyre expensive

Any news on how to get a custom recovery on the h340ar? I've tried everything except for installing the kdz for the 5.1.1 model

Nice question i can give you a real life example, One day i install that version with no problems ,i unlock the bootloader , install the TWRP and then the rom. Everything was working fine (exept the rom bugs) exept the signal. If i was at America and had an Metro PCS card i would use 5.1.1 . Since i'm not there i can't install a firmware from another mainland. I doesn't know from people living in America like T-Mobile or AT&T or i don't know anything else, i ain't sure if it will work for them.
P.S : As i read from some news about LG Leon, we gonna get the update 5.1.1 , but i don't know when.

Works for another europian models?

[BRICK] Lost and Unable to Restore IMEI/BASEBAND LG G2 D805. (EDITED: D802)

I'm really going to die soon. I spent the whole day trying to restore my IMEI as I don't have the original box (bought it second hand just the phone alone) and did not have EFS back up prior to flashing.
So, the whole mess was when I flashed Dorimanx for D800 instead of my variant which is D805 (my careless mistake, the title of the page was really confusing). Ever since, I lost my IMEI is shown as 0 or null so does my baseband. I then flashed ResurrectionRemix, PowerG2, etc. but still unable to get any mobile network connection.
I've tried reverting to stock KitKat firmware but to no avail. I've flash other modems as well with no success. I've even tried the QST NvManager switching from Windows 10 to 7 and re-installing the USB drivers numerous times still no luck. I followed so many forums and watched endless youtube tutorials none of them can fix my problem.
I'm really desprate, please help me.
how can the tile be confusing.? even qhen you go to download page theres all the variants. was kernel really the culprit of this.? am not really sure that kernel would damage imei and baseband i think flashing bootloaders do. twrp wrong rom. ect. you should post this in the q&a thread. i know some have restored imei.

Dear @raptorddd
Thank you for your feedback and I'm sorry. I did not blame the kernel as in whole context but rather my careless mistake and take note I suspected my problem was flashing the kernel for the wrong model variant so it was not actually Dorimanx's issue, no offense I even admitted my wrong-doing.
Anyway, after reading your reply at least there is a light to my answer. I will do some more research on bootloaders for my exact variant because most of the threads found here are for D802 International while mine is Brazil (Latin America) although I'm from SEA.
I was very happy when I see 6.0 MM on this frakenstein device but now I have this network problem making me sad. It's like having an old car with a new engine but no wheels. Please help.

I don't know how a kernel can wipe your imei. Have you changed roms succesfully before? Have you used ioroot on it? Ioroot makes efs backups automatically. That would help.

@raptorddd @Art Vanderay
I figured out. My phone is actually the D802 variant. It is obviously shown at the back of the case and when I open the back case, the model number is also printed just underneath the battery D802. I thought it was D805 because when I bought this phone it was already rooted and running PowerG2 and the model shown at the About page was D805. This is why I started looking for stock firmware for D805, TWRP D805, Dorimanx D805, and everything D805. So, when I downloaded ResurrectionRemix 6.0 MM, that was when my phone started to act weird but I'm very sure it was not RR issue as well. I wipe all my partitions without making any backup just before I started flashing things. I've done this 1000 times with no problem and this is the only time I got it wrong. I've tried flashing the bootlader changer aroma, then KitKat bootloader stock and still no IMEI, the phone number shown as unkown. I now got back my baseband because I flashed the KitKat baseband.
I'm going to start all over again today, and I'm getting all the files for D802 instead and will let you guys know if I can restore my IMEI back. Thank you for your participation on my thread, very much appreciated.

I'm sorry, I have a soft-bricked phone right now with no spare phones, so I don't have WhatsApp at the moment but thank you really for your effort and offer. Can you explain on the forum instead of TeamViewing so others that have this problem and reading this thread can solve theirs? +1 for you.
YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I FOUND THE ANSWER ALREADY. Please ignore the caps, this is just to show you how happy I am.
I've spent approximately 48 hours to figure what the heck is going on.
What I did was:
1. Flash stock firmware Brazil KitKat D805 .kdz through LG FlashTool 2014.
2. Use ioroot25 to root it via adb.
3. After rooting, download AutoRec.apk for KitKat and install that.
4. Download TWRP bumped latest and flash it to replace AutoRec's old version of TWRP.
5. Flash Dorimanx KitKat 10.9 (at the time of this post) or latest.
6. Flash KitKat stock baseband and modem for 20d.
After rebooting system, everything is ok. I got back my mobile network now. So happy!!! I'm requesting the moderator to close this thread as my question as been solved.

I'm not sure also. The back case written as D802 and just below the battery also written as D802. But when I tried to go back to stock I was unable to use D802 firmware but only can use D805 stock firmware. I'm now on Google Edition 1.3 the model is written as D802. When I try to flash stock D805 firmware I can't get through already. Im not sure why but as long as I can use the phone right now, I don't want to bother so much about that.

So far, Google Edition 1.3 is the best/stable among all other ROMS that I've tried like Power G2, RR, etc. Nice battery life, 100% in the morning and came back from work still have another 30%-40% (usage mainly for WhatsApp, Facebook, internet browsing occasionally, no movie/music/games-just COC once or twice). This is the most straight-forward ROM and the closest to Stock Lollipop from Google without any other 3rd party apps and bloatwares. Very stable, no FC, great camera, and knock code gestures (flashed additional QuickMemo+ which isn't included by default). Awesome!
