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

hey
please sir i really need your help i can't get my lg g2 d802 32gb back i rooted it and everything was working fine when i try to flash twrp that was were it break my phone it stuck on (fastboot mode started) i used BoardDiag to unbreak it, now i can get download mode working but am a bit confused when i open battery cover i see (Ls980) but model number is d802. i tried about 2 to 3 kdz but the touch screen was not working i also try (LS980ZVE_03.51102.tot) touch screen was working perfect but sim was not reading. please sir help me i don't know what to do thanks in advance
hello. i recently purchased lg g2. its back cover says d802 but on the inside it says d801/d803. so first idk what model it actually is. can u please help me figure out its model?
secondly after a firware upgrade through lg pc suite it got stuck on lg logo and wont move forward. it can enter download mode. idontknow much about software programming so i seeked help. i took it to repairs but the guy said someone flashed the wrong rom into ur phone as we cant determine which model it actually is so now you have to purchase new IC for your phone. so rom flashing wont fix the problem now i guess. please help me out whether i really have to change the ic or it can be solved through software fix. i would be really thankful for ur help.
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.
I can make a back up but i have the lg Leon MS345 (metro PCs)

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.

it is a big deal, i just flashed it and ended up with aa T mobile device. Your in Greece, I'm sure there's more important things to focus on for you, and i did take my own risks, but thanks anyway.
As i search to unlock your bootloader it's a simply option in developer options.

LG Leon 4G (H342F)
I have found this site where they have many hard-to-find firmwares
Too bad it is in chinese/japanese so one will need translator to use it
Here is the link for the LG Leon 4G (H342F) Stock ROM (no carrier)
cwww[dot]gaodi[dot]net [slash] forum.php?fromuid=200800&mod=viewthread&tid=669709
Just have to register to access the rom links there.
Hope this help somebody.
Anyone have the stock ROM, kdz, for LGL33L? LG Sunset.
I've asked elsewhere but so far, nothing.
I was in the same problem because last month I got a new LG Leon (H340Y) with all that annoying icons and boot screen the carrier use to put. So, I was looking for a stock ROM without all of it. Googling here a there I've found this page
lg(dash)firmware(dash)rom(dot)com
Hope it works.

Hi all, Just purchased a LG V20 F800L (Korean version) here in Australia.
It all seems to work well but I would like to change the software to an international one or a more English one.
As some things are still in Korean such as the ringtone list, the phone dialer and especially LG smart world and it will not allow me to log into it.
What I need to know is which firmware would be the best to flash & if some can point me in the right direction on where to start it would be much appreciated.
LG-F800L
Android 7.0
Build number NRD90M
Kernel 3.18.31
Software version F800L10m
My main aim is to get LG Smartworld working and in English

I think the issue here is that there isn't even an international version that has been released at this time. I will be keeping my eyes on this space though for when there is something. I have an F800K and will be changing out the ROM on it to international when/if I get the chance.

1) First you need an international version to be released
2) Then you need someone to post the firmware
3) Then you need the international version to have a bootloader unlock and TWRP and root so you can even do this
4) You need to hope and pray that on v20, unlike Samsung and many others, flashing other SKU firmware will NOT brick the device.
You rolled the dice and got the "wrong" version for your market....There's a strong possibility you're stuck with what you have, or that doing this you'll end up with an $800USD paper weight.
We currently don't have a way to flash firmwares at all.
Thanks guys ill just have to wait and see what happens.
Is there anyway of getting LG Smart world working in English?
any news????
Maybe this will help.

Good afternoon ladies and gents,
I am here today seeking your guidance on compiling the stock rom for the lg v20 h910 (AT&T) variant. I was able to grab the rom source and the kernel source from here .... as far as that being the right rom is beyond me lol... but it matches the model number so i thought i would give it a try. and i am wondering if anyone can show me the right direction in do so myself. i have a desktop pc running win10 64 pro build 1607 ( redstone 2 ), but i also have a macbook pro if i cannot use my pc. if i have to install linux i will do so. any guidance would be much appreciated.
I want to lock the bootloader after the dirty santa exploit and also return the device to at&t for an upgrade, i want to get the s8+ . The reason i want to lock it and unroot ( stock it basically ) is because i am afraid of at&t coming after me for the full price of the device, especially that i have the NATF mega rom with the static boot screen and i am also afraid that they would think the device is not functional. The extrior of the device is flawless, no scratches nor dents or anything of that sort.
Nothing?
Can you not use google to search the forums for the answers on using LGUP to maybe restore your phone to stock, thus negating the need to possibly install multiple operating systems, or compile code?
I do not use your variant of this device (i am on the LS997) so my answer should be immediately discarded, but by and large more devices can be restored to factory utiluzing LGUP than can not be restored.
Good night, and good luck.

If there was an available kdz for my variant I would have used lg flash tool. Or lgup. Thats why i asked for a guide in the right direction when it came to compiling. Because the source code is available for h910 which is the at&t variant but no available kdz. So i was simply asking to learn how to compile a kdz from source code.
