[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.

You can still get into recovery right? You try sideloading a correct rom?

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.

i think we need some one to hack the dll or the LGFlashTools to skip TOT checking

Ya if we could get someone to do that then I could get everything to go through. Unfortunately I don't know any one with much programming or coding skills. But thanks for the help so far man. It's nice to know not everyone on the Internet is an asshole

if you can stay longger in fastboot mode
try flash VZ laf.img
fastboot erase laf
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

We now have LOLLIPOP for F400K!! Yayyy! Download link in thread

Here, guys. Linking to a thread from a Chinese forum.
And it's not a troll thread! I decided to be brave and flash it! Yayyy! I now have Lollipop on my G3 F400K version but WiFi doesn't turn on as of now. And no root.
Shall use it for the better part of the day and post here.
http://www.cnanzhi.com/romdetail/4919

I cannot understand how to use that... can u help me?

It's pretty straightforward.. Download the three files in the link provided above and flash them from your custom recovery.
Use Google translate for every link.
I've got this on my phone since the last 5 hours and I haven't used it much for bug testing. But the phone works perfectly and the software is a daily driver for sure!

Did you flash modem? Is WiFi working well?

Didn't flash any extra modem. Wifi not turning on. See the first post.
That's only bug I see as of now.

I think modem can help that problem... I ll try. I hope this file won't wreck my recovery partition as 19c did...
And sorry for my bad English

you will see the modem and mods in the info translate it theirs a link there for modems ,patches and mods sorry for my bad english ehehe

is it really for F400K ? I dont think that, it look like a ported from D855
I also saw a ported package from F400S at http://www.fshare.vn/file/1CMRFVXM4A/ (I flashed and it worked - 1 week ago - I back to stock 4.4.2 to wait for OTA)

where did you get that link can u share the forums?

i lost root. And now I can't flash a new ROM. Any heads up?

I think you're screwed since you're running the new bootloader (or kernel, not sure) you can't downgrade, and since there isn't lollipop for f400k you need to wait

Have you tried a "adb reboot recovery"? My f400k on cloudy won't enter bump recovery with any of the usual start up sequences I have found. The only way I can do it is with reboot to recovery on the restart menu or "adb reboot recovery" maybe yours is the same?

Mine boots into stock recovery.
I don't even have root.
Kdz method doesn't work because Flash toll recognizes the phone has a d855.
Flashing a d855 dll is suicide.

Heyy mine is like yours, I can't enter recovery when on boot. But can enter with a app or menu (tweakbox).
How do I fix this? I am afraid of bootloops and want to get into recovery when I get one.

Please let me know if you find out.
I asked the super helpful guys in the bump IRC chat room but no luck. I am going to be super careful about what I flash until a method is found.

I think my G2 is bricked :(

I had a rooted LG G2 D802 on EE with KK update that was working fine until today...
I tried to flash a nice custom rom to it and well, to cut a long story short something went wrong and the next thing i know i have a phone which only shows up as about 10 hdd's in windows, and as QHSUSB_BULK in device manager.
I couldn't get it to go into download mode or anything, so i followed the Unbricking guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
Unfortunately this appeared to do nothing for the phone, so i used the Tung Lee guide and this also did nothing.
After i did the above guide the phone was no longer recognised in windows or Linux, but thanks to this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404
I was able to at least get it back to the state it was in in the first place.
After following all these guides i am now at a loss as to how to sort my phone out,and i'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction for a fix..
When the phone was working, i put the imei into the firmware engine and it found me the D80220H firmware, i have tried using the bin files from the first guide and from D80220B as well with no luck, so i was wondering if one of the above guides do indeed work, how can i get the .img files i need from a D80220H KDZ?
Its been a long night and i'm now currently without my phone, i'm hoping someone can help and i can get my beloved G2 back to a working state before the weekend.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the long post.

Have you simply tried the LG Flash Tool? When it happened to me once, i simply reg
Flashed kdz using this tool and voila!!! Try and report

@Shadowhunta Are you using the twrp IMG from that first guide? That might explain why this isnt working. Extract the kdz using this tool
Flash the aboot, boot and laf then try download mode.

I was using the TWRP from that post, but then i downloaded the latest one and that didn't make any difference, I haven't tried that tool properly yet to get the .img files needed from the KDZ i have for D80220H, but i have flashed the aboot, boot and laf of D80220B and that didn't help either, i couldn't get it into recovery mode, download mode or anything! With the first tutorial i managed to get it into Hard reset mode, but it just hung on processing.
Thanks for the suggestions, i will try them during lunch and get back to you both, thank you so far!
Anyone else had the same problem as me, keep the suggestions coming, all are helpful and appreciated

Does anyone else have any ideas please?

[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.

I suggest you do not do anything without consulting with other members.
You just have to be patient.

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.
That is just halfway,I will tell you the rest tomorrow,it is 00:26 and I have to get up at 07:00. xD

Edit 2: rooted. Going to flash now.

Alright it works, thanks! Can you tell me why I need the bumped version? Just curious

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?

LG G2 | No download mode, no recovery | No brick

I am trying to recover an LG G2 for a client. It is virus infected and the client complaints Google AppStore and Settings not working.
The client likely tried to recover his phone from the viruses but did more harm than good.
I'm having some trouble because:
Download mode does not work
Recovery doesn't work too, the phone shuts down
It ain't bricked
Settings app crashes as soon as I select something from its menu
I can't enable usb debug and dev mode. Without this i can't use adb or fastboot.
Anyone knows anything that may help me?

Not bricked
The only things that don't work is setting menu. I can't enable usb debug and dev mode. Without this i can't use adb or fastboot.
I think that this phone had virus!

Nothing, i can't use this tool because i can't enable usb debugging. Anything else that comes to your mind?
