Please HELP!!!
can you guys please tell me is it possible to convert Sprint LG G2 (LS980) to International version (D802) firmware?
looking foward for your help.
thank you!
Yes it is possible with lots of searching and hacking. It is way easier to do permanent SIM unlock procedure and easier than that, use a custom ROM. See link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655133
Here's my knowledge from the conversion. I could follow the steps in that post but the phone never really worked right. The steps to make the phone work on GSM carriers caused menus to disappear from within the phone, such as ability to change APNs. It works but there's a better way.
I flashed an AOSP ROM to my phone. Shameless plug here for LiquidSmooth beta, I've had the least problems getting a working phone with that ROM, actually works out of the box. While on AOSP, I can replace my Sprint LTE SIM with that of another carrier, reboot the phone and then go to the *#*#4636#*#* menu and change radio mode to GSM. I'm using an AT&T SIM now, domestic even and can SMS, MMS and have HSPA+ data, no LTE. If for some silly reason I want to switch back to Sprint, just swap SIM card, reboot phone, change radio mode in the hidden menu. Simple.

Thank you very much mate :highfive: ! but actually what i want is to have D802 (Stock) firmware on LS980. because D802 is getting updates so quickly. ( Knock Code) i searched for a way to convert but i couldn't find it. can you guys please tell me is it even possible? because both devices are have same hardware except the LTE band! looking forward for your advice. thank you! :good:
I know it's possible. I read once what has to be done. There's some trickery that has to be done in the build.prop which makes the phone think it's another model which would allow the flash. All I can say is search. It is on the XDA forum. The term used was CID change. Found a ton in 2 minutes all related to HTC One on Google, finding the G2 should be easy enough with search.
Once time converted, the frequencies GSM 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS 850/900/1900/2100 (3G), LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600 (4G) it work or not?
Please someone answer this last question .
Once converted, will the converted LS980 support the frequencies of D802 ( GSM 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS 850/900/1900/2100 (3G), LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600 (4G)) instead of the LS980 frequencies ?

Simple answer is "No" . because frequencies are hardware things. we can only change softwares. LS980 will not have D802's frequencies by anyway.

Yes there is a way to do it but I don't know, me too I'm searching for this solution, because I bought a used LS980, and when I plugged it into PC the LG Support tool ask me if I want to upgrade the software of the phone (Into Lollipop) and the actual version at that time was D80230e, I let the authorized the LG Tool to download the update, and when finished, everything goes wrong the phone became unusable, when I push in a zone it react in another, and it was really hard to achieve the first steps of the configuration, when finished I decided to open the phone and look at the motherboard and bingo I found that it's an LS980, then I downloaded the LS980 firmware, I flashed it, and everything became OK, except the lost IMEI, then I tried to resotre the EFS backup that I done before that I upgrade it with LG Tool, and then the phone stay on the LG logo...Right now my phone is out of service, I use it as camera and nothing else...I'm searching for solution every time but I found anything...Is there any solution ?
What about changing motherboard only, will that work ?

How to recover IMEI ?
Sent from my LG-H818 using XDA Free mobile app
On order to restore your IMEI you've just to flash your phone with the ZVD version and let the OTA updates install,then you'll recover your IMEI, but if you flash again with the ZVD you will lose it again

I bought LG G2 d802 from ebay. the seller gave me a phone that had stickers that named d802, Imei of D802 and everything.
I tried to update the phone. it got stuck in lg logo. I fixed downloadmode after using a tutorial that I found in another forum. so now I have it (I had fastboot mode before)
But, everytime I try to flash the T-mobile KDZ file (D80120E_00), It fails at 2%.
What should I do?
Sorry for my English, Thank you.

Okay guys,
how can you be sure that you both have a D801 instead of a D802?
@theitay-why are you flashing an D801 firmware if you've just said your device is an D802?!?
why aren't you flashing a D802 in download mode?
there is a list of stock firmware available in the general section i believe.
if you can't find it let me know.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
Which will tell you to use this site to download firmware: http://storagecow.eu/index.php
and then i download http://storagecow.eu/Xda/LG G2/Stock/Europe OPEN D80220D_00.kdz
this is the Europe Open D80220D Version. i prefer to use this as i know Towel Root works.
Not tried it in H.

I got a new D802 Phone With IMEI matched Box.. But Seller is Fraud. It Have V20B on it... And when I open A webpage it goes to chinese Language...
I have Checked IMEI and its from Thailand.. LTE band 3 1800MHz should be working on it but it didn't accepts it..
After usage of a month.. The screen area of 4 5 6 row in dial pad and other applications stopped working..
I read on XDA that it may be a software problem, Reset my mobile twice and then go for Europe 20H KDZ Flash..
After Flashing My storage becomes 16GB, 10GB showing, All screen unresponsive to touch. Baseband unknown and IMEI null..
I knew this error comes of From wrong version of Firmware flashing..
I TOT flashed SEA 20GB 10C. And Thailand V20C and China Unicom V20C KDZ Flashed.. But all in vain..
So, After discussing in other forms, I have to advised to open my Mobile and physically check motherboard..
When I open it.
Bottom Left D801/ D803 on Black Body,
Sticker of LS980 On Top Right..
But My board is D801, Two from chips with silver encasing and Backside of motherboard also D801..
I Flashed D801 T Mobile KDZ and Storage becomes normal 32GB.. Touch in previous state. All working, except 4 5 6 and Hardware Key control activated..
But Baseband Still unknown and IMEI Null..
I have IMEI writeen in Paper. But is IMEI of Thailand D802. So I can't Use LG Mobile support Tool Also..

so to clarify, you bought a 32GB phone from somewhere and the seller said it was a D802 but it turns out to be a D801?
from my understanding and what the other user has already mentioned, the EFS is messed up.
i don't think i'm allowed to fully discuss this on XDA but i'll try explain. i think you need some sort of back up of the EFS partition from yourself or a blank one.
i had a similar issue with my note 2 and ended up buying an octopus box. i know that the LG G2 is compatible with that box.
you can re write your IMEI. that box cost a lot. i know there have been free tools available, specially for qualcomm devices but i'm no expert in that department though.
other than your IMEI, you have a full working device?

Its refurbished Set, and The Chinese Or Hong Kong person Managed To Put a D802 Thailand IMEI On it... And I thinks either they flashed a D802 Modified rom, Or Use Build.prop Edits to its look like D802..
I have even Checked With 3845#*802# hidden menu...
Check these two pictures also
IMEI isn't a big Issue. Baseband unknown is the real issue...
When Mobile is on It didn't recognized in LG Mobile support tool or LG PC Suit,
But in Download Mode LG mobile support tool recognized it as D802 and Software of D801, Giving option of Upgrade...

Hey guys,
As you can read in the tittle, my problem is that I don't have 4G/LTE I get 3G+/3G or HSPA+/HSPA.
Right I'm running Lollipop with the custom ROM, BlissPop with B14ckB1rd Kernel. I tried other ROMs (CM, RR, Paranoid) but I don't get 4G in neither of them.
I lost my 4G a quite ago, don't remember exactly how but I can imagine it was when I tried those early Lollipop builds, after that I went back to KitKat and the 4G was gone, even I tried going to full stock but neither that work.
I'm sure is a phone problem because I been with 2 different carriers and couldn't get 4G. The SIM card is brand new and today I spent around 2 hours talking with the Tech Support of my carrier checking everything is all right.
I also tried to change the Baseband/Modem/Radio (Right now I have Cloudyfa KK for the D802).
This might be also helpful for guess what could be the problem, when I dial *#*#4636#*#* go this phone information, down to prefer network type and select LTE only I lose service, by the way, in that configuration I have selected LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) and USA radio band.
I'm open for all kind of suggestions, If you need more information don't doubt in asking me.: fingers-crossed:

Well is good to know I'm not the only one.
Could you share more information?, like when and how it happened, so we can figure out what is wrong.
Today I'm going to try to get some logs, and check the system folder.
It happened to me with stock lollipop v30d vodafone ITA with another carrier sim (TIM). Solved after flashing v30a open ITA kdz.

I'm gonna try it, will send feedback as soon as possible.
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda Forum
No luck, I installed the V30a Italian version as you suggested but as you can in the screenshots no 4G at all, when I try to force LTE (This time with the command 3845#*802#) is lose service like in my last ROM, so I'm almost sure is hardware and not software.
Can some confirm me that, cause when you go back to stock by a kdz or how ever their is not residual imformation, every thing is fully clean right? Or some firmware just stay for ever?
If you guys have more suggestions that could try before I send it to somewhere for get it repair.
I was tinkering with my new T-Mobile LG Leon LTE (MODEL NO : LG-H345) and broke the cellular service (installed Xposed for Lollipop and com.android.phone keeps stopping, tried Fix Permissions, doesn't work). Does anyone here have a Leon LTE or just have the stock ROM laying around? I've got TWRP installed, so that's not a problem.

This links to H345 not MS345, IT'S NOT METRO FIRMWARE. The person who asked needed T-Mobile so they probably ran into no problem, but notice the file name on mega download. Thanks though, have you flashed HH firmware on MS devices? Does it work, what differences are there?

It is for Metro, I test it , wel there are some difference like you have Voice calls via Wi-fi, the notification bar have small changes too , but not a big deal and it's android 5.1.1 . For me Signal wasn't working cause i'm at Greece
no
no it's for T-Mobile, i flashed it and it's got tmobile boot and apps, but a locked boatloader that won't allow me to install twrp, so wheres the " i knew what i was talking about " button? oh thanks, ive now got a basic not really supported T-Mobile device. A little misinformation and lack of due diligence just took the fun out of owning this device.

ls997 (sprint)
https://youtu.be/jYglDD5gMIk (video of the doted screen after root and new rom)
I have sound and picture but dots above it (they are moving also the picture is moving and sound is ok). sound is ok when move rockers. also voice assistance works (jump to 2:14 on the video) (a women tells me what to do I guess it's the accessibility wizard). touchscreen works I can choose things if I see or guess where they are. etc. etc. etc.
I used dirty santa instructions for ls997 https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/ls997vs995h910-dirtysanta-bootloader-t3519410
than used twrp 3.0.2-1-us996 to install both new rom (used this one """Stock LS997 rom. for Sprint users only. (Fix's numerous problems)"") and supersu (SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519) both from the sd card.
all fine and troubleless. all done as instructed.
any tips how to proceed fix that screen thanks. I haven't re-do anything. This is my 1st attempt following instructions. Don't wanna mess up and wait for advice what to do before act.
Niki B. This is perfectly normal. Shut the screen off by tapping the power button on back. Set phone face down to block the sensor next to the front facing camera for a few seconds and you should be good to go.

I know us996 roms work on our devices.. It was what we had at 1st. If not youll need to add apns manualy using shortcut master lite.. And change from cdma/lte to gsm or whatever you are using.

I must edit myself - v20 ls997 users with US996 Deodexed ROM reported sim unlock just as you said correctly, not my current runing stock 997 cleaned sprint rom.
since I'm rooted all I need to do now is twrp flash the new rom (first copy pasted to my sdcard) than flash supersu (just in case) that's that nothing new or added

Essentially yes.
Most roms come with root ao the su zip may not be needed. But its universal ao just save it as it will root any software you have on ur v20.
Download the stock rooted deodexed us996 rom and flash it from your sd card. Clean install recommended.
And wait for it to boot up. It should be setup for the gsm service's. If not you'd be trying to set all the gsm stuff manually in the sprint rom and probably wont be nearly as easy.

Went for aokp (choosed ls997 from list, but after install in settings tools it says ls996 this does not matter for me). Sim-unlocked, also 100% of the bloatware and sprint boot logo etc. etc. are all gone. Clean as baby. I'm very very happy man. Thank you very much. I will donate both aokp (from the provided link in their thread) and xda team in separate transaction to show my gratefulness :good:
is there way to remove the pre-boot message (not a big deal but still): (attached photo)
Hey folks, thanks again for for all the work keeping this phone supported.
I just got my V20 and I'm trying to get it working with my UK SIM (O2, 4G) but since I did the Dirtysanta root I've not been able to get mobile service on any ROM, even return to stock or flashing the 915 KDZ. I stupidly didn't make a backup with LGUP!
Any ideas how I can restore service to the phone? I'm currently on unrooted H915 KDZ. Does anyone know of modem files etc I could use to try and get SIM service working again? I've seen a guy posting a 'universal modem' here but he didn't seem like a particularly knowledgeable user, and I've also seen a zip of the 'h910 oreo modem' but I'm reluctant to flash anything unless I'm sure.
Or could it be a physical fault with the phone (ie the SIM slot)? Is there a way of ruling that out?
Cheers for the help! My new phone has turned into a total nightmare and I could really use the support
PS: I opened up the phone to aply thermal paste, and the mainboard seems to be an F800L Is it possible the refurb seller was using F800L modem firmware with the stock Nougat AT&T ROM?

Not sure...but a do quick look in your mobile networks and make sure set to automatic. Seems dumb, but if not that can cause service issues.

I've had a good play with network settings but sadly I think the problem goes deeper than that...
