T-Mobile Lg V20 has no OS and now no TWRP - LG V20 Questions & Answers

Am I screwed? I tried following a guide on here and now TWRP is gone off my phone and I have no OS. I really dont want to have to go exchange it...

try looking for the original kdz for your model and flash the kdz using LGup here's the link
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/v20-kdz-restore-failing-9-completing-fix-t3546817
you might need to do some manual searching for the tmobile kdz since in that link there is some kdz links but none specified for the tmobile variant, there is one similar to ours and that's the h918tn but im sure thats not for our phone.

LG G2 D802 Refurbished/Frankenphone - D800

Need help please.
I've bought LG G2 d802 from local store. After searching through forum I've found it's actually D800 also through opening back cover of my phone i confirmed it was d800.
Now I need to upgrade to Lollipop and have custom rom,
I've read it many threads like
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/help/strange-touch-problem-upgrading-lg-g2-t2971569
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/help/issues-refurb-d802-32gb-lg-flashed-t3034823
but none help.
I've tried IOroot to root my phone but not work for me, gives error when "Apply update from ADB"
- Doin' stuff...
set_perm: some changes failed
E: Error in /tmp/update.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48709232&postcount=869 )
I also tried one click root someone told me ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951 ) but this also doesn't work.
Any help from someone would be highly appreciated.
Thanks...
Current OS:

If you are on Kitkat I would recommend Stump Root...google it you will find the app.

Then I'd go to download mode and flash the 20c tot for the D800 since that's what you have. It's posted here on xda, a search will be necessary. It's kitkat and is the newest tot we have to my knowledge. Since you were planning on this being a D802, I'll infer that you're not an AT&T customer so OTA's are not an option. For that reason, and the fact we have nothing newer than a kk tot...once you get to stock, you'll have to root and flash twrp (for the d800) and then flash a custom rom such as Cloudy or similar to get a LP rom. So using the 20c kitkat tot makes life easier since then autorec works for twrp and stumproot also works on 20c I believe.

You don't have root right now so you can't backup your efs. You can and should back it up after flashing the tot and rooting though. I've not heard of people corrupting their efs during the tot flash but anything can happen I suppose. So yeah, the thread you linked should work good. There's also a return to stock thread for the g2 that you can reference. I can't post links well right now being mobile but if you search "LG g2 return to stock" it'll come up first in your Google search results.

Before that you could also try root using SRK tool. Google it and you should find the Xda page.

And in download link under the thread don't have 20c. http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/AT&T/
And how do i know i am going for 32gb version files ?
Yeah that's the thread I was talking about. You can use it as a reference because it has good pic instructs. But at the end of the day, you'll be using the 20c tot from the thread you linked earlier. It is correct for your 32gb phone. All D800 tots are 32gb because all D800's are 32gb.
If it's local store, why don't you just return it and try to get a not frankenphone one if they have it? Worth a shot

Open tot with hexeditor, search for "800". First instance should be full model number followed by s/w version. Edit only that first model from D800 to D802. Save and exit. You may still need the 8974 dll to avoid cross dll error.

I assume that's because you don't have an active AT&T SIM installed. As mentioned, you'll need to get your LP by way of root, recovery and a custom rom. Are you still able to make calls in your current state? If so, you're good. The D800 works globally to my knowledge. Or at least in most regions, not sure about all.

No need to unroot - flashing KDZs and TOTs restore your device to 100% stock unrooted.
There's a chance of a port to V500?

You can extract the .DLL from the KDZ with WindowsLGFirmwareExtract v1.2.7.0 you can find on XDA.
I assume I would just use ODIN for this?
Oh wait, this is for the 815, I have the 810.
I assume this is a no go then?
Was anyone able to inject root on this?
can you grab 11A from LG website? I tried and failed (For VK815). My VK815 was rooted started acting up and I did factory reset. Now i cant get past startup screen since setup.exe crashes. I tried downloading your KDZ and flashing but it wouldnt flash ( I am afraid since I was on 11A) if you dont mind can you see if you can download older kdz?
nevermind, i was able to flash this kdz with someones LG g2 back to stock guide perfectly fine, its on marshmallow now. Thank you so much

Sorry for not pointing you out and give you proper direction.
Go to the thread and click on the download link provided on KDZ method.
Click on lollipop folder. And click on 32gb since you have a 32gb d802. You will see a list of downloads. Since d802 is international , choose one accordingly. And follow the rest of the instructions on thread to flash it.
Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.

Since the device is international version, if you reside in europe, then go for that one.
Post back if you have successfully updated.
Also make sure you read the thread OP before you attempt to upgrade .

Do you mean the kdz version? Like in "D80220D_00.kdz" or "SRK-D80230H_20160107_droidth"? Then you can take one of these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development-d802/rom-stock-30d-flashable-zip-t3070383
The last unmodified stock rom (Update from LG) i used on my D802 was "SRK-D80230H" which is Lollipop version 5.0.1. I don't know anything about "SRK-D80230F" so you may take the h-version.
Good Luck.

I am konda new to this manual updat.
So i checked my imei nd it toled me mine is 80230c.
Can i download 30d lollilop and flash mine with it ?
Yes, i think so. The D802 is the International version of this phone, so the latest version should work.
But remember to take a full backup just in case of failure.
Also you can use directly a modified custom rom. I'm using CloudyG3 Rom for a year now an it combines the compatibility from the stock rom with a lot of improvements added by the developer. For me its the best G2 rom around.

2019-11-14 Update for the V35

Anyone updated their's yet and are there any changes worth noting?
https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmv350ulm-firmwares/#tab=firmwares
Probably be a good idea to hold off updating on this, especially if you cross-flashed just to make sure it doesn't break anything for the ATT version.

So i went ahead and updated using upgrade in LGUP and so far so good.
I cross flashed AWM oreo with ULM oreo using the LGUP 1.14 from thread cross flashed AWM Oreo with Korean Oreo. Then I refurbished the AWN with the latest ULM Pie. So far no problem.

How did you flash this firmware? I am on V350N20c_00_KT_KR_OP_0405.kdz and LGUP refused to cross flash this firmware. It failed at 5%.
What error message are you getting? Are you using the correct version of the LG UP? May be do an incremental upgrade (install previous ULM version then the newest) instead of jumping directly from KR version. Also, your download could be corrupt, may be download again. Be careful though, there are a few mentions of ppl bricking their phones due to experimenting around.
Edit: In my case, it was my spare AT&T V35 on AT&T stock 8.0 and i directly flashed the new 20E ULM version using refurbish option.

No. You can't use Uppercut on anything past Nougat. Uninstall it and never speak of it again.
To flash firmware you want Dev Patched LGUP.
