If I were you I would stick with what the phones settings is calling it as a D802. The D802 is the international version of the G2. AnTuTu Benchmark will show you some more info about the phone in the apps info tab.

Amm isn't there a sure way to find my model number i'm afraid it would brick if i update it ... happened to my Friends G2 ... it was actually D800 model but showed D802 in the settings.

I suggest looking at the serial number behind the battery to help identify which model you have. Then, I would install AnTuTu Benchmark and open the info tab and read through everything there. Also, if you remove the back cover and look near the bottom on the antenna module the model number is listed as well. Check out this site for a little help:
http://www.etradesupply.com/blog/how-to-find-lg-g2-model-number/
You can also use the IMEI to identify the device as well. Write down the IMEI and use your Google-Fu and search for a site to check IMEI's.
Try this site as well. It works pretty well too.

When you remove the back cover/battery door what does the antenna module say the model number is? It will look like this?

Yup it says D801/D803

If your motherboard shows D801 then that is what you have plus the numbers on the antenna module shows D801/D803. There has been a big problem with refurbished LG G2's. Check out this thread for some more information.

you need to remove the cover of the phone to know it
The bottom of removed back cover of your phone says it's is D802......so i think it is D802。
Unlike mine at the back it says D802.....bt when i removed the back cover ....then at the bottom D800 was written.....

Most probably it is d800.
But you need to check the motyerboard back side..
Actual mode no. Is written on the back of main board.
Evrything can be faked like imei no. Back cover and even speaker and flex cable...

help?????......
same problem now as mine my IMEI just became 350050500009692 /01 emergency call only why???
some nice paper weights at least lol none of you have efs back up ? tried restoring it if you do common rule with samsungs all ways back up you efs folder
the sad thing there is mine I don't have my backup
Try NV restore (If you have it Pre-backed up on your phone from factory- at least mine did not have on the N910C but it existed on my N910F) ... Dial: *#0011# , then Menu>Back, then Menu>Key Input> then type Q0000.
After that I don't know where the NV backup is (I forgot, and I don't have the phone now), but you should be able to search here on xda or google it up...
I hope your Exynos has a NV backup....
Good luck

Possible refurbished device with incorrect model no., need help from experts

I'll be quick so no ones time is wasted and a viable solution can be found fast.
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. (screenshot below)
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?
I really can't afford to lose this phone so please, if you've stumbled upon this, try to help or forward it to someone who CAN help. I will be very thankful.
Cannot really help you. But look for Frankenphone. There's a thread here.
I would return the phone. That's fraud.
Go by this method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/help/issues-refurb-d802-32gb-lg-flashed-t3034823
B. I doubt it's beyond repair, it will just take you time and work to figure out what is what and how to get it back to working state. I think everything you need can be found already here, I saw a lot of posts with the similar problems and really hard bricks being solved. Just be patient and good luck.

You have to confirm your mobile actual model. By opening it back cover.
Are you sure that 4G/LTE is working before Mobile going in this state?

Possible refurbished G2 D802
Guys i bought an LG G2 D802 from a third party. i tried to install TWRP using AUTOREC for D802. My phone went into a bootloop. Luckily i had made a backup with SRK tool, so my G2 is up and running. I think my phone is refurbished because i have seen other G2's with D802 backcovers in that market but their IMEI no. was D800. My IMEI no. , backcover and software all say D802. I Dont want to open up my phone because it is confusing for me because i know there will be 2 to 3 model no.s written inside it. My question is can i find out my model no. by installing all autorec recoveries for g2 on my phone after making backup on SRK Tool. When i get the TWRP recovery on my phone i will know which model my phone is. Plz people who are expert of SRK tool help me...
Also will my Imei no. stay safe if i backup from srk tool.

Need a little help...

I accidentally messed around with my build.prop and mistyped something causing my phone to brick. So the problem atm is I can't even use my phone with messages popping up such as "Unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped working" and "Unfortunately the process Home has stopped working." I tried to factory resetting which didn't work at all. Right now I am trying to fix it through flash but I can't since when I plug my USB into my computer, I can't changed my USB settings to MTP and since the messages shown above keeps popping up preventing me from clicking anything on my screen. Any help would be appreciated!

It is a modernised recovery menu,with easier,touch controls.
Basically a MUST when flashing roms.
I guess you dont have that...
Now the only thing you can do is flash the stock rom again with the kdz or tot method.
DO NOT TRY RESTORING IT WITH LG PC SUITE!
It will brick your device,because it had been rooted(LG made that on purpose-"kill dem rooted phones")

With the LG PC Suite,LG Flash Tool or the TOT method?
They react differently.
And if your phone won't ,you either have no drivers,or have bad ones.

That was the model I was trying to change to during build.prop, and I'm assuming the flash is assuming my model is the samsung one.

I probably could help you if you had an international d802 variant.

Used lg g2: atnt d802??

Hey, my friend bought a used lg g2. We've tried to identify if it's original or not by checking it with cpu-z online verification. I've found something interesting. It says that it's atnt version, but it says it's d802. How is this possible? It had cyanogenmod pre-installed..
1st thought was that it's d802 with d800 motherboard. Is it possible? If so, which roms should I install?

1st thought was that it's d802 with d800 motherboard. Is it possible? If so, which roms should I install?

Can't confirm that right now, i'll check it tomorrow with my friend.
But it actually wasn't rooted. Friend checked it with root checker. That was a surprise for me too, don't all cyanogen roms come pre-rooted?

If it came with a custom ROM most likely the phones is already rooted and has twrp installed. I think you can disable SuperSU setting from developer settings in some Roms. To answer your question, yes you may have a franken phone. Which means that it is refurbished to look like a d802 whne in fact it is a d800. They change the imei and back cover so that you won't know. Do NOT attempt to update the device through lg mobile support tool it will brick your phone.

Yeah i understand that. It should have a custom recovery just for the cyanogen to be there in the first place.
I want to install Cloudy rom for him to have a better overall experience, since i have it installed on my own g2.
If i make a full backup and try installing a cloudy, can i endure any problems if i try the d800 rom?
