So here's a new one for you...
I'm working on trying to fix a friends LG G2 LS980 from Sprint, and for whatever reason. It boots into the stock recovery but has no download mode. When attempting to boot as normal it says "Security Error". (Because it has no OS to boot into, as the owner somehow deleted it) Normally in a soft brick i could just use download mode to re-install the stock firmware, but obviously that can't happen without download mode. ADB has only given errors for no apparent reason as well. I'm at a loss... "Can you help us??"- Galaxy Quest
Any tips or similar issues reported would be appreciated.
After searching for quite a while only one other person has reported this issue and no one has answered him. But I trust XDA won't have the same issue. I appreciate your time and look forward to your help.
Nothing? Tsk tsk XDA..

Hi there,
I realy need your help on my problems with the G2 32GB D802.
I bought it on ebay and instead of getting it from GB it came from HongKong and I didn't think about it that it does not have a european ROM.
First I wanted to root and flash custom recovery and cloudyG3 rom. After rooting with ioroot and installing the TWRP I stuck in the fastboot mode. First problem I did not make a backup because I never reached TWRP. Download mode only appeared for a second an then disappeared again.
After a lot of searching I found that probably the 802autorec.apk was wrong, since I don't have a european model. So I installed via fastboot a laf.img for a D800. After that the download mode was working again and I installed different roms via flashtool2014. The installation worked again but after rebooting the phone I had a lot of trouble with it. That the reason for trying different roms as I sad befor.
First, the fingertip points at different areas of the screen but not there where you are touching the screen. So you can not reach the buttons or write on the keyboard.
Second, after connection to pc I recognized that my 32GB model had only 10GB internal memory.
Finaly I can not use the phone. For me it seems that I burned my partitions and need your help to get it right again.
Please give me a chance.
Best regards an thanks for helping me.
p.s.: I tried to go to the settings menu in the phone and reached it after a lot of confusing taps on the screen. All the phones informations like IMEI and all the other disappeared. Something realy went wrong with it.
No one an idea how to get back to normal?

I now have the answer from the dealer that my G2 has the Firmware D80220B.
Just try and test it. Good luck.
@Angryyolk
I just ask myself how to enter engeniering mode?
Thanks for your help.
I walked one step forward now.
But there is still no solution for my problem. I found a link to LG "http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI" to get the information about the version of my stock ROM. Just replace IMEI by your real number and you will get it.
In the meantime I flashed the rom with flashtool but the screen behaviour is still the same.
I later rooted the phone with towleroot and then installed the correct autorek.apk for the D802. That worked properly. I reached TWRP but in fact of the weired screen behaviour I couldnt do something. I tried to fix my IMEI problem with QPST but this tool showed only empty tables on my PC when I connected my G2 with usb.
I tried an update of the screen firmware as posted above. The code that has to be entered on the dialer is 3845#*802# but it wont work for me since I can't enter "settings" the service menu. That's because of the weired behaviour.
Beste regards
I now was able to enter the hidden menu. And I was able to get to the menu point "update touch firmware" but nothing happend.

Hello everyone, I have the Verizon LG G2 and it thinks it's a different g2. I have edited the .tot's to other device models and it still won't work. I have followed many threads and none are working for me. I also did try the .kdz method which kept getting stuck at 2%. I also do not have twrp.... My question is is there a way to install twrp right from download mode to try to flash the right software to get it working agian? Or does somebody think they can help me figure out the problem with the download mode restore?
This is a good one. Let a friend borrow my VS980 (Verizon LG G2), ofcourse it was modified with TWRP, etc. He like me knows how to handle roms, etc. However, he seems to have flashed a Korean G Pro 2 firmware of some sort and while the phone was booting properly with actual Verizon roms, wifi, signals, etc did not work. So upon attempting to revert to stock I noticed Download Mode did not work. So I used AutoRec for the vs980 and it caused the phone to get into fastboot mode. Using the following guide, I fixed the fastboot issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2681089
Now I am still detected as a F350K, this is usually due to that information being stored in the build.prop, which I couldnt wipe since the fastboot loop would ban booting into DL mode or TWRP.
I have also read about the generic .dll file, but it is a no go, assumingly because were talking about two different phones.
Any suggestions? Will a .kdz restore be more better than a .tot restore?
:crying: I got desperate and permabricked it. Tried flashing the Korean G Pro 2 firmware and now it will not power on. No download mode, not detected, etc. Eventually it will show the notification LED flashing colors like it wants to boot, and nothing more. I guess this is the end for my VS980.
I Have same Problems facing bos! Now what can i do! Help Me Plzzzz...........

I don't know where else to put this since this phone does not have its own forum here.
Here is my problem...
My vista was rooted and I was going to sell it to a friend so I was doing a factory reset with the phones built-in option... And the stock factory reset makes it all the way to where I enter my first and last name and then after doing so I get this error...
LGsetupWizard has stopped (there are more words but this sums it up)
And then the Setup Wizard restarts.
I then go through the setup process again thinking it will go through this time... Same error message... LGsetupWizard has stopped, and it restarts itself.
I have searched for a fix for this EVERYWHERE and cannot find a fix... I cannot even find the stock rom/firmware for my device: AT&T LG G Vista D631
The official website has no download and the only "stock" ROM/firmware I can find is for the Verizon VS880 and it's counter parts...
Can ANYONE help me get this phone fixed and make it all the way through the LGsetupWizard without it looping/stopping/crashing???
Really need some help from the pros as I have exhausted all my tools/methods in finding a fix/solution.
EDIT: I am able to get into the settings menu (with fast fingers) right after I click OK to get rid of the error message.
I have turned on DEV MOD and enabled all the settings needed in order to flash stuff and put stuff onto the phone via computer USB...
How can I fix this problem if I am able to have access to DEV MOD on phone???
Problem solved.
I used LG D631 TOT DLL.rar and LG Flash Tool.
I forgot where I got these files from, but I am sure a simple search on a search engine will help you find them.
After I got it to boot back up, I used TitaniumBackup and found that LGSetupWizard was "frozen"... So I unfroze it and did the factory reset again and it went all the way through the LG Setup.
Yeah, like an idiot I rooted this and started deleting bloatware just to find that upon restart, the Samsung logo would flash for three seconds, and poof. That’s it. Brick. I can still get into download mode and recovery mode, but in recovery mode, no matter what I do, at the bottom it says E: failed to find /misc partition. TWRP is gone as well.
So, am I proper screwed here? Tried connecting to Kies to no avail. I don’t even know how I’d use Odin to fix this. Can’t find the proper firmware.
For reference, I have a dual-sim SM-J530F/DS.
I know I’m an idiot. I could just really, really use someone’s help here. I had rooted so many phones successfully back in the States, and now I screwed up, big time.
Download the firmware of your phone from sammobile or other and flash it from Odin. You must be in download mode. If you want to remove bloatware, try to flash a bloatware script which is already tested and it's working.
Help
