I just purchased a LG V20 for $150, but it has one problem. It says Firmware Update now waiting for any connection. It has an error code or something below it with 633A B50. I can only go into a few of the boot menues. I can't turn on ADB, and i can't access recovery or download mode. WHAT CAN I DO, PLEASE HELP.

If it says Firmware Update, then you are in download mode. If you have pretty much anything other than an AT&T, or Sprint model, you should be able to get a KDZ or use LG Bridge. If there is no KDZ for your phone, then it is a brick.

It is the sprint ls997 variant so no .kdz file as of currently. ADB is not connecting, but i can get LGUP with uppercut to recognize the device in download mode. I don't believe the boot loader is unlocked, but is there anyway i could use LGUP to push a .kdz file for a different variant (I tried the Verizon variant and it failed because it recognized i was trying the wrong variant) which would allow me to boot into a OS and turn on debugging and from there use Dirty Santa? Basically is there anyway to let LGUP push the wrong .kdz variant?
Have you tried the LG Flash tool? I know there are some patches that will allow it to flash without checking the model. Since you have a brick already, you have nothing to lose. If it were me, I would try every V20 KDZ that is out there in the hopes that one of them would boot. If you can get it to boot, then you can use dirty santa, and you will have a working phone again. On the plus side -- you got a great deal for $150.00. You can always hop on Ebay and find a system board to swap in.

what patches of LGUP will allow to flash without checking model?
I am having this trouble too. but i bricked mine trying to root it
there was a post on lg viet forums where they converted a ls997 to a Korean model, it had no service but after flashing the sprint modem,it worked perfectly. just look for patched lgup first.

Do you mean this? My LGUP never worked even before brick, so I already had to use this patched exe and dll file to even roll back to older firmware for dirty santa root in the first place.
Now after running step3.bat and flashing saved aboot img, the phone is locked out if recovery and download mode shows 633A B50 and patched LGUP / DLL no longer recognise device. Uppercut also doesn't recognise device. LG Flash 2014 also failed so did LG Bridge

Over the years I've always been good at solving these things, but this is the first time I've every had to request help/guidance.
LG
1. Came from from 4.4.2, ioroot rooted, installed twrp via freegee, but not the kernel patch. This prevented me from booting back into Android.
2. Factory reset everything, wiped everything from twrp.
3. Ran adb commands here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696 Got me into fastboot.
4. Flashed all .img files for LG D800 from prime's D800 img stash. Fastboot rebooted.
5. Installed Mahndi ROM via adb. Reboot
6. Stuck. Phone hangs on LG logo, loading modem and com drivers in windows. Recovery is now stock, so no flashing. Download mode works but always get a "Device Model is different" error at 0% when flashing from LG Flash Tools. Correct .tot and correct .dll for D800.
Any help or ideas to get my G2 up and running again would be amazing. I'm still trying to figure out if I can modify the .tot to match my device's current model or just ignore it and overwrite (best hope). Even if i can get ubuntu to detect the phone that would lit my spirits.
Thanks.
Progress
So I have actually figured out the problem completely, yet I do not yet have a solution.
-I after flashing the correct .img over to my device, I was all set to go, but read somewhere about flashing over mahdi ROM.
-I successfully flashed Mahdi, but DID NOT FLASH THE DEVICE VERSION PATCH (literally hit my head on the desk when I realized).
-I panicked after it did not work and reflashed all the .img so I was stuck with stock recovery, no adb, no sideload, no fastboot.
Is there ANY WAY to flash back to stock with the LG Flash Tool for the ATT D800 that ignores the model number inconsistency. This type of phone only supports the .TOT method of flashing. There is no other way (KDZ = NO). Currently my device's build.prop says that the model is "g2" (this is what the patch was supposed to fix) and my flashing file/.dll is for "D800".
My device can not be seen in Ubuntu.
Any suggestions?

I have seen and downloaded that one before, and if I recall correctly, I didn't get a model error, but rather something else. I believe it was a bin file error??, but I do not recall. I actually just sent my G2 in on a warranty claim (*please oh please don't notice I replaced the screen") and hopefully that will take care of it. I was just posting so that maybe someone doesn't have to dig through 350 pages of replies to find out what happened. I'll keep the post going when I find anything out though.

I won't have my phone available for a few days. Any chance you could go ahead and give that lgup_8974.dll a test run and report back? I'd be more than willing to help do any research if it gives a different error besides the model.
Sorry to dig up this thread, but I have the exact same problem, except I flashed mahdi on my D802 and somehow the version patch didnt flash correctly. Is there anything like a lgup_8974.dll for D802s?
I'm really desperate here.
i have the exact same problem!!
Any solution found yet??
I would like to know; us 996 can flash other tot? For example, h915; f800 tot??
no in short
no no no in long lol, bootloader will turn lgup away showing its not correct device.
i would be very shocked if it worked and also booted after. Too much in the bootloader is protected and lg up dosn't replace the bootloader, just everything after it

Hi I tried to root my Lg F800s and install WETA rom (H918 version) now my phone does not boot and I can only access download mode. LGUP reads it as H918 , is there anyway to install modified kdz or using flashtool.
My phone always goes into fastboot mode. I use "Lgup" to do 996kdz and erase but no effect (there is a phenomenon, when 80% will restart, then enter FastBoot mode). So I used the "Lgflashtool" to do 996tot but it would be error at 6%(download Fail!! →Check DL Validation→00000064→Error ), so it's still useless. Every time I turn on my cell phone or link my computer, my phone goes into fastboot mode. There will also be a red word meaning: "Check unlock OEM in Developer mode".
Now the situation is:
can enter "FastBoot mode"
Can enter "Download mode"
BL is locked.
Can Not enter Android system
The model is ls997 but uses the Us996kdz (before the other ROM is so normal to use, but suddenly can not use the mobile network, and then I made a mistake ... )
sorry I can't seem to upload the picture URL. have any questions please contact me, thank everyone.
You should have asked for help before trying to fix it yourself.
What version of the US996 firmware were you running?

So you use LG UP to flash the KDZ (don't use LGFlashTool anymore), and the flash completes successfully?
Also, you need to provide some more background on how you got into this situation -- what were you doing to your phone?

I want to use China Unicom Internet, but ls997 doesn't seem to be able to, first unlock BL, and then use other ROM. When I unlock the BL at the document in the link below (a TRF file), when the fourth step is over, my cell phone stops at the boot interface (a LG logo is spinning) for about 3 minutes. So I took the battery, but it also stopped on the boot screen after reboot. Silly, I used LGUP do 996kdz, and then it's what it is.

Well, you are lucky that LG used the same RSA cert. The US996 firmware doesn't work with the LS997, but at least you didn't brick your phone completely. Unfortunately, because some of the firmware is failing to load, you are being dumped into fastboot. Since you flashed the KDZ, that wiped out TWRP. Since you completed step4, you could have easily fixed your phone before flashing the KDZ. Now you are going to have to find a KDZ that is a little closer to the hardware of the LS997. Try the H915 KDZ. Make sure you download v10e. Anything newer will increment ARB and you can't get the proper firmware back on your phone. Here is the link to the KDZ.
When you flash that, your phone still won't work, but HOPEFULLY it will at least boot so you can root it again. Once it is rooted, you are going to need to find someone with an LS997 that is willing to do a complete dump of their firmware.

I suddenly think of a question, if the phone is different from KDZ, probably can not use LGUP flash it...
There is a patched LG UP that lets you cross flash. How did you flash US996 firmware?

? Sorry, I don't understand. Do you mean to let me use h91510e_00_vtr_ca_op_1205 kdz through Lgup? When I use Lgup to Flash, Lgup will tell me:"Error:KDZ file is invalid US996 → H915"
I will go to the repair shop to understand the situation (I think the maintenance will be very expensive, so I will come back), please wait for me, thank you

The clerk told me I needed to repair FLASH MEMORY, and that the maintenance required 1/3 cell phone prices, and I gave up.
Whatever it is, please let me know as soon as you can, because I will try (because it won't get worse)
Did you try flashing the H915 firmware? Since there is no KDZ for the LS997, you are going to have to try flashing firmware till you find one that will boot.
The US996, VS995, H915, H990 all have the same RSA cert and have KDZs (H910 and LS997 use the same key as well, but as you know, there is no LS997 KDZ), so while your phone might not work, you can try again. So, pick one, flash, and see what happens. With any luck you will find one that is close enough hardware wise that it will boot and you can root it.
Make sure that you flash a version that is old enough to still be exploitable. If it isn't exploitable, AND it increments ARB, you will be stuck with whatever you flash.

There's been some other LS997 users who claim that after flashing the US996 kdz, their phone works fine, except for cell service.
Do you know where I could find the modified LGUP which lets you flash individual partitions, and lets you flash other model KDZs?
Actual model is ls997 but i flashed vs995 kdz with ls997 modem everything worked fine.Just very crappy battery life so i decided to flash a us996 rom. but it was not just a rom but the full us996 kdz twrp flashable without the recovery.I figured this as i was flashing in twrp it showed flashing laf and all other partitions.So now it doesn't even boot to any recovery or boot at all.but i still have unlocked bootloader and can get into download mode.Though lgup keeps saying "unknown model, US996".Im sure i can just flash vs995 kdz again since there is no ls997 kdz but lgup wont let me in lol.is there any way to bypass this unknown model pop up? or can i use flash tool or something.

ok so i tried lg flash tool and using the us996 kdz or vs995 kdz it start the download and just 2 secs in it say 0x0000 " kdz name here not support ".I'm using the lgup dll that comes with the kdz for the lg flash tool.also in fastboot none of the flashing or erase commands work, just say phone locked or something.i think ive done f**cked this phone.Damn i should have known that twrp zip flashes every partition...
lg mobile support tool says ls997 but the firmwire is like us996q or something.Lg bridge can't even connect to the device.

I think the lg flash tool i have (1.8.x.x) is out of date for v20 that's why it may be failing download once it reaches "preareafterdload Download".Though the other version 2.0.1.6 or something fails to load at all.correct me if im wrong.

1st Step: select LGUPc.dll extracted from H910PR kdz and selected .kdz file. It failed because model mismatch (H910 vs H910PR (I have Lineage 15.1 for H910 installed)
2nd step: select H850 dll and select extracted H910PR .dz file > It failed right within 1 second
I'll try flashing H910_10r full firmware through TWRP and see if I have any luck with the phone to flash back to H915 again....
Mine cannot booting, always bootloop.
I try to flash via LGUP and UPPERCUT there's unknown model, so i cannot proceed.
I try to LGFlasfhTool 1.8.x.x with several dll, from extract kdz or from the latest LGUP_commond.dll the latest one, i try many dll, but its say download failed after 4% or sometimes it's say to many partitions and then error download failed.
I try to boot in factory reset mode (power + volume down), after doing factory reset (pressing YES twice) only LG logo appeared.
I was try to using fastboot mode, but I cannot run fastboot boot twrp.img its say <waiting devices>
Now my LGV20 (US996) cannot boot up normally, it's only can boot in download mode, factory reset and bootloader mode.
Anyone can help, plz.
Thanks before
If you have the correct version of TWRP, rename it to "twrp.exe". From a powered off phone hold volume DOWN and plug-in USB cable. Issue the following command from a prompt in the same folder that contains TWRP:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Reboot to recovery (Vol down, hold and release power), choose "yes" twice and wait a few seconds for a reboot into TWRP.

Mine cannot booting, always bootloop.
I try to flash via LGUP and UPPERCUT there's unknown model, so i cannot proceed.
I try to LGFlasfhTool 1.8.x.x with several dll, from extract kdz or from the latest LGUP_commond.dll the latest one, i try many dll, but its say download failed after 4% or sometimes it's say to many partitions and then error download failed.
I try to boot in factory reset mode (power + volume down), after doing factory reset (pressing YES twice) only LG logo appeared.
I was try to using fastboot mode, but I cannot run fastboot boot twrp.img its say <waiting devices>
Now my LGV20 (US996) cannot boot up normally, it's only can boot in download mode, factory reset and bootloader mode.
Anyone can help, plz.
Thanks before

not much actual help, but fastboot boot doesn't work on ANY v20 models. you have to actually flash it and THEN boot into it.
OS - Windows 10 Enterprise N LTSC 64-bit
How I got here:
Rolled back to 2016 build using LGUP (store, patched).
Used dirtysanta to unlock bootloader and install TWRP.
On first boot, I got static and a constant buzz from the haptic feedback motor.
Not knowing that Verizon users sometimes need to wait over 20 minutes, after 10 or so I assumed I was toast.
Tried to flash NotYetADev's Oreo build with the same result. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/vs995-verizon-lg-v20-stock-oreo-rooted-t3845669)
Attempted repairs:
Tried LG Flashtool using dksoni411's method (https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/guide-lg-v20-to-life-t3827732) and it failed to work.
Now LGUP is not working. Changes between "not recognized" and "wrong DLL" depending upon LHUP_common.dll version.
Uppercut ran after disabling A/V but didn't work and required a system restore to get Windows back to a normal state.
Flashing several alternate kernels doesn't fix.
Flashing LineageOS, same thing.
What's still working:
Download Mode
Fastboot Mode
TWRP
Notes:
I have the original files from the first LGUP dump.
Looking at the build.prop from the TWRP terminal, each flash appears to be successful but still hangs at the LG "Life's good" screen.
I am kind of at a loss as to how to proceed. I have some reservations pushing aboot or any other files via fastboot as I don't want to risk a hardbrick condition. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I can spinup a VM if needed to run Uppercut. I am not going down that road again...
Update:
Installed all software, drivers, etc. in a Windows VM. Same results. Uppercut still fails to work with LGUP...
Out of desperation, I flashed bootbackup.img to the device. No change.
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
It appears that TWRP is not flashing the system partition even though it is mounted.
Anyone?
You don't need uppercut. Remove it. You need lgup patched working. Do that first. Trial and error I recall with dll file. Just keep trying. Forget virtual machine. If you don't need Verizon firmware you can use US996 and then dirtysanta. Vibrator issue is with verizon firmware only.

Posting an updated request in another thread as no help is forthcoming here.
if i remember correctly it has to do with dirty santa step 3 where you install twrp and need to type
"adb reboot recovery"? this step almost screwed me over... you actually dont need to wait for vibrate to stop to boot in twrp, wait 5mins then type the adb command, and it will reboot in recovery...
Thanks for the reply.
I got LGUP (patched) working again on a clean virtual machine. My work PC is very loaded with software and I wanted to avoid driver conflicts. Sadly, the original KDZ dated December 2016 that I first flashed won't work now. It throws a "wrong model" error likely caused by my using the LG flash tool and it failing to complete the flash.
It turns out that my file system was hosed but I managed to fix that in TWRP. Rather than try and use fastboot to flash the files individually from the original LGUP dump, I am making a TWRP flashable zip. Hopefully, that will work.
If I can get it back to stock, I am confident that I can get it going. My main screwup was not waiting long enough on the first rooted boot (static screen, and vibrate). I now have a kernel to flash that is supposed to fix that. I have a bad feeling that I will need to revisit the LG Flashtool and correct those errors before anything will be resolved.
