hi everyone
if your like me and like to flash and flash stuff by accident things that shouldnt be on your varient lol. (my phone is D803 rogers and i managed to flash t-mo onto it and got stuck in fastboot mode. no download mode no recovery possible at all at this point no matter what button sequence i tried instantly fastboot)after hours of research and trial and error. i managed to use a couple programs that helped me boot my phone D803 which now thinks its a D801 and fully boots as T-mo and at this point it booted and my simcard is not a proper sim it says.
anyways the story is i was able to create a zip that turned my D803 which turned into a D801 back into a D803 and save my fastboot bricked device woohoo.
if any1 needs info on how this was done i will write it down when i have a little more time on my hands.
and also i will thank all the people i can that made the forums and tools that were needed for this to be done.
thanks Jester

Yes, I had to use fastboot and remove system. Once I did this the lg g2 tool allowed me to reflash the phone back to factory.

D803 question
Hey, kind of related... I'm considering upgrading to the G2 (from Samsung GS2 LTE aka: skyrocket) but i noticed that there isn't a 'D803' or 'rogers' section in the forums. So if i want to flash a custom OS, which versions should i be using? 802? are there dedicated 803 roms and I'm just not seeing them?
Any info would be appreciated.

most roms youll see d800/801/802/803 etc. most cm and aosp are fine i found. just dont do any off the stock kitkat flashing. thats what i did and i got lucky once... i fixed it. but the second time i killed my phone
this site has a few roms made for d803 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611749
Hey what's up. I had this issue happen to me and it was a big pain for me to fix and there is no official fix. This is what I did in order to fix it. You basically need to adb pull your build prop end change the model number to your original number and place it back on your SD card and change your system over to rewrite able and push the new build prop to your system and bam!!!!! Fixed

My phone is a unlocked at&t h910-10q can I flash US996 Firmware on my phone so I can have a phone that does not have AT&T junk on it using kdz without root
Post a link to the KDZ that you want to flash and I will let you know if it is safe. I can't tell you if it will work, but I can at least let you know if you are going to brick your phone.
If it doesn't work, you will have to root it so that you can flash back to stock since there is no H910 KDZ.
@runningnak3d can I flash this zip https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-us99610k-stock-rom-twrp-flashable-t3691784 on my h910?

Hey @omnixech did you used the us996 kdz?
@runningnak3d any thougs about it?
I got busy on Friday and didn't get a chance to check. I will as soon as I get to work and post the findings.
@prismk @omnixech
The US996 definitely uses the same RSA key as the H910, so you won't brick your phone. I can't tell you if it will work, and I also can't tell you what the ARB version is.
Before you flash, you need to verify from someone that has a US996 what the ARB version is for 10l. If it is greater than 0, then don't do it, because if it doesn't work you will be stuck and can't flash H910 firmware back onto your phone.
Prismk, I understand why omnixech wants to flash the KDZ -- he / she doesn't want to root their phone. You already have root, so what are you hoping to gain?
-- Brian
@runningnak3d I was scared because the us996l zip flash all partitions except recovery, but I will give a try. Thank you!
The US996 ROM have UI differences, like the carrier name (hidden) on status bar and LTE icon. I can change that on H910, but I will have to use xposed and will break magisk
safetynet.
@omnixech If you did used US996 KDZ please update this thread, if it was ok I will use this KDZ too. I won't be able to use an app that my company use because I have root
No I have not used the kdz I most likely will not it is my only phone and do not want to risk ruining it.
I just was tying to remove all the at&t junk on my phone with out have to root, I do not like the current rooting method that is available for my phone leaving that warning message during boot.
I will just leave well enough alone until a better way to root comes along or I get a new phone what ever happens first.
Guys I'm a bit late, but would any of these firmwares work on my H990DS, since I live in the US and don't use the second SIM slot or the FM radio and want the UI changes and the VoLTE

I'm currently on LGH990AT-00-V11k-GLOBAL-COM-JAN-17-2018+0, even though the about phone menu shows V10g-AME-XX (for some reason that I do not know) on my rooted H990DS. If you could please check if this would work in a flash using KDZWriter (keeping boot and the kernel the same?) or flashing the TWRP zip that another user posted, I would be very grateful.

Sorry, the H990 handles the cellular modem quite differently. If it doesn't outright brick it won't have service.. Its why there arnt any Lineage builds for it.
It work for me. Network service working in my country. Except I cant access phone information in *#*#4636#*#*
So I cant lock to specific network. Other than that it runs much smoother without those AT&T bloat.
I did a test on the latest version US99610o_01_0202.kdz and it worked perfectly fine.
Just one note, make sure you are carrier unlocked before flashing to the new KDZ variant.
The only thing I found a little bit of annoying, at least on my case, is that you can't check for updates in the phone, I keep getting the following message "Your phone is not registered yet." Although there is a workaround (just google it), my way of fixing it is by updating through LGMobile Support Tool.
Hope that helps.
So it's possible to flash a us996 rom on H910? I'd like to know because the att ui sucks.

Yes, it is possible, I did the conversion from H910 v10q to US996 v10o.
However I am not sure if further versions in the H910, the ARB is incremented, making impossible to change the firmware, however if that is the case you will be stopped when LG UP will say "anti-rollback check failed" and abort.
In this case I used the patched LG UP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/guide-patch-lgup-to-unlock-features-t3652222

Regarding the battery, I haven't found any real difference, but the ROM is way cleaner.
The way I did the conversion is doing the following:
Download the latest KDZ variant for US996: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939828249
Further versions can be found here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-us996-firmwares/
Download the patched LG UP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/guide-patch-lgup-to-unlock-features-t3652222
Make sure you install it in C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP or it will either read the wrong model file (if you had a previous installation of LG UP), or it will not be able to find the model file at all.
Put your phone into download mode (power off / hold vol. up / plug in USB cable)
Open LG UP and click the PARTITION DL radio button, pick the US996 v10o KDZ that you downloaded above, and click start. Make sure all partitions are checked.
Once it is complete, your phone should reboot into the new US996 ROM.

What is your mobile provider? Most likely LTE isn't working since your provider doesn't support the LTE bands from your device.
Hello! I'm fairly new to the LG world and I have a few questions/problems hopefully someone could answer.
I read somewhere that the HK firmware has not been updated since late last year. And unfortunately, I have the same firmware region. Tough luck. :'( My security patch is still stuck in October 2017. And that leaves me to my real question. Is it okay to flash a firmware from a different region? Let's say Philippines since I am from there. If that's possible, do I need to root? AFAIK, H870DS cannot unlock bootloader. I'm also aware of LGUP, uppercut and where to get the .kdz file. I was just wondering if the cross-region firmware upgrade will push through.
If anyone out there could help me, it is much appreciated. Thank you!
我试过h870ds使用g600l的kdz，无法使用wifi。
U can flash every kdz designed for h870ds ...no matter the region. CIS region seems the most updated to me. Take a look here https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h870ds-firmwares/

I had the same problem with being stuck in LG screen. I found this solution to get into download mode. This will unfortunately erase everything on your device. I recomend to use the softwareupdate that was made fore the region your phone comes from, at least that was the only thing that worked for me.
Found it on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/help/lg-uppercut-recognizing-lg-g6-t3710388
"Just hold down button and power button. Just when you see LG logo leave power button for a second. Push power button again and hold with down button. Now press yes twiche for the hard reset prompt. Now IMPORTANT, when screen goes black immediately press and hold up button. While holding up button plug usb cable into the PC. Now use Uppercut 1.0.0.0 and flash your kdz."
Hope it works for you.

While I do not know the answer to your question, you can try and worse come the worse LG UP will stop if it fails and no harm done, just reboot the phone. Even if after successful installation it gives you any errors or you don't like, you can just flash back H870ds kdz and revert but make sure you have the original h870ds kdz that you are on now downloaded and available. If rooted make backup before attempting as you will probably loose all your data in the process.
Edit: I didn't realize you were trying to install dual sim kdz onto a single sim phone, usually people try other way around to get latest security patch. I doubt that it will work and you will not get dual sim functionality even if flash works because you don't got the hardware for it.

check the sticker under the battery for model number, what does it say? if it is not US996 you can't use LG Dev site to unlock.

The problem is you got sold a ls997 that got flashed with us996 firmware including the bootloader while it was still possible. The solution is to use it as is, return it, or root it with the dirty Santa method and make sure you use a kernel with the dirty Santa fix (since most kernels/roms labeled just us996 won't have it)

You need to roll back to version 10f, grab LG up from this thread, put it in
C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\
Grab the firmware
Put your phone into download mode (power off / hold vol. up / plug in USB cable).
And then use the upgrade option in LG up to downgrade. Then follow the dirty Santa instructions

Probably intentionally removed, its literally impossible to miss. It takes up a large part of the back of the battery compartment (here's my factory unlocked us996 sticker on the original screen assembly). The clean back area is of course the battery compartment. The model being listed as LG-US996 (instead of US996) and the USA on the side (as opposed to BPT or UCL) differentiate the factory unlocked from the other two us996 variants

But i heard the rumour that the ls997 variant unable to flash firmware because the variant doesn't have .kdz file

That's just it: there's no ls997 firmware but it can flash other variant's firmware (except the T-Mobile h918) as long as it hadn't gone past a certain ls997 update (others reading this thread in the future, don't try it, if it's been on Sprint firmware and been updated in the past century it's impossible, think the last Sprint update that could was ZV6 or ZV7 iirc).
Since it's on US996 firmware it should be fine. Also a good idea to use the dump option in LG UP to backup the modem, modemst1 and modemst2, and misc before you reflash with LG UP, basically everything but user data won't hurt.

that was basically all there is to it.
Get LG UP (put it in C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP) the firmware (kdz)
Put your phone in download mode by powering off, holding volume up and then connecting to the PC. Open LG UP.
Hit dump option, hit select all, uncheck user data on the partition list, then click ok. Since the phone was originally the LS997 the modem may be wierd so having a known good modem and modemst1 and modemst2 backup (done by that dump) is a good idea.
After the dump actually rollback by selecting the upgrade button and adding the kdz to the bottom section.

Flash a kdz with patch level of december 2016 using same above method. After that root using your preferred rooting method (Mine is given in signature, need to see in desktop mode). Then flash either SuperV20 or Vincent ROM and you should be fine (Let's hope so). I personally like Vincent more because it is based upon UX 6.0, looks nice and have most things ironed out.

Does a thing come up saying it's locked, or do you just not have service? Have you gone through the dirty Santa guide and finished rooting?
Was trying to flash fi firmware to an att lg v35 to try and bypass a FRP lock and it failed. Now i am stuck in download mode when i turn the phone on and can not get anywhere else. Anyone got a possible fix? Im out of ideas since i cant just flash a stock firmware.
i was almost tring to do the same job on my att v35 locked... I don't know how to help you but your attempt stop me to proceed with it.
or you may try to flash a different kdz? Or I knew about the lg bridge... does it have a recovery option?...it should.

Or you can try with
LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL
look for it on google :good:
Tried two different kdz files. They all fail at 11% on lgup and get you brinked into download mode. So lg bridge is impossible. I will look into lg mobile support tool, have not tried that yet.

any good news?
one more question: witch common .dll file did you use with LgUP program?

Did you use uppercut? Similar thing happened to my LG G5 and I realized you have to use Uppercut to do that sort of thing.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/uppercut-lgup-loader-g5-variants-t3511295
It may or may not work, it works with the G6 and V20, I’m not sure about V35. But it said it might.
I hoped this works for ya! Check your PM, too.

I had the same issue. Unfortunately I just sent mine in to LG for them to hopefully repair. I tried so many different things to get it going with no luck.
Not much help but that's what I did

Hi just saw your post and I have an AT&T V35 too so this should help:
1. Uninstall any prior version of LGUP currently installed.
2.Head to Post #18 at https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/lg-v35-amazon-project-fi-t3819470/page2
3. Download the ' V35_lgup_modded.zip' ; Unzip & install, then ensure the .dll file is also copied to the COMMON folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\common)
-If there's no COMMON folder, create one.
4.Shut down the phone completely(phone should also be unplugged), then get into download mode (With phone off,hold down the UP Volume button and connect the phone to your PC while still holding down the UP button) and release the UP button once you see 'Download Mode' on the display.
5.Now, there's no V35 AT&T Kdz file available online so the next best option is to use the Google-Fi kdz you tried earlier; So launch LGUP & select the Kdz file .
6. Next choose the UPGRADE option and flash.
7. Hopefully, that should bring your phone back to life and if not, try again with the REFURBISH option(will wipe user data etc.)
8.Lastly and very important, though you may be tempted to mess around with additional LGUP options such as PARTITION DL etc.; Remember the V35 is still relatively new & has low support so be careful - So far, cross-flashing seems to be fine except for Korean Kdz files but flashing partitions WILL currently cause you to lose either your IMEI/Serial Number or Both.
Cheers

Thanks. The guide works good to flash the fi .kdz but unluckly it doesn't unlock the at&t phone (as expected). I made the try. So people if you have an unlocked v35 branded you can go straight with this guide to unbrand it :good:
If someone can help to find a way to sim unlock v35 please give an help. Thanks :highfive:

Just want to be clear on one point. I have an unlocked att version (v350awm) of the phone and have followed steps listed above. i was about to upgrade to the fi kdz but noticed i have two options on the modded LGUP to upgrade, "Fota upgrade" and "Fac upgrade". I was thinking that it should be the Fota upgrade option.?

Hi, just stick to the 2 options at the top left - REFURBISH (For a total wipe, including User Data) or UPGRADE (To update without wiping User Data)

Wanted to thank you to for the info. Am now using the Google Fi rom on my v350awm without a problem. And the beauty of it is, no bloatware.
Again thanks
Google Fi Rom/Kdz
As I posted previously, I successfully restored V350ULM10f_00_NAO_US_OP_0913.kdz to my carrier unlocked V350AWM (AT&T model) using the modded LGUP. Now my thought was that this was the Google Fi rom that comes on the Google version of LG V35. and I know for fact that this rom doesn't have any of the AT&T bloatware that comes on the AT&T LG V35.. When booting I no longer see the AT&T logo, just the LG logo. But the interesting thing is when I check the software version it shows V350AWM10f which seems to say that I really still have the AT&T ROM but the AT&T Bloatware and logo have been stripped out.
Thoughts?

True, after flashing, the software version under 'Settings' does not change to reflect the Google Fi update. This is simply a minor labelling error for now but the important thing is that the update is successful as evidenced by the lack of Carrier bloatware/logo. You can actually verify the fact that you are no longer running an AT&T ROM by trying to update via LG Bridge & it should say there's no available AT&T update.
Cheers

I;m gonna have to agree with you as I just installed the latest (just out) version of the Fi Rom, V350ulm10h which can be found here: lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/17590/V350ULM10h_00_NAO_US_OP_1130.kdz
After installing, my software version is now showing V350awm10h, again indicating that I still have the AT&T Rom.

Hi Yall,
I'm in this same predicament. I've already disabled most of the AT&T Bloatware .... but I'm still super annoyed at the lack of updates (ATT will only let you get OTA updates if you are on their network, my phone is currently unlocked with an unlocked code and on the T-mobile network)
Are there any other benefits to flashing to the Google Fi version other than debloating? Any chance of VOLTE working? or band 71?
Will the annoying carrier branding on the top of the status bar disappear?
