[Q] My D803 (Bell) is a D801? WTH?

So long story short I screwed my phone up and had to use LG Flash Tool to make it work again. The weird thing is, when I tried to flash a D803 .TOT file the LG Flash Tool said "wrong phone model" or something along those lines. It then said "D801" was my phone model. I searched and searched and SEARCHED for Bell D801 and could only find people saying it's D803. Well, I said screw it and downloaded TMobile's D801 .TOT and flashed it. The phone works now but it has a TMobile boot animation. It still connects to Bell fine, but here's the main issue;
Part of my touchscreen doesn't work anymore and I'm still under warranty if I can just get the phone back to stock to have it sent in. How can I do this? Any help? Also, does flashing with the LG Flash Tool make it so LG can't see I ever rooted the phone?
Thanks!

Maybe its a wind phone? I believe those are d801s because I have a bell one and that is D803

Thanks for the quick reply, but i purchased the phone at a bell store 9 months ago... This makes no sense. I really need Bell stock back...

So are you saying there is no TOT? I cant get the kdz method to work... so i need a tot.

Ok so I typed my IMEI into some site and it said my phone is indeed a D803! However, because I flashed a TMobile .TOT to the phone, my phone thinks it's a D801. Oh god... How do I fix this now?

BUMP!

Hmm I'm not sure how you can go back but if you are within warranty you can try wrecking the system (so it doesn't work) and send it in for repair... They will reinstall a new version

Maybe your bootloader or whut was d801?? Idk but can you try to flash this kdz http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/Canada+D803/
Then the one from bell? I hope its gonna be alright if you can flash it. Note that if you screw up with flashing then try not to wreck your system but try to repair it you itself since a system wreckage doesn't come fromself and lg doesnt need to pay the price to fix it. Even under warranty. I know lg screws up stuff but flashing is at own risk.
Edit: I sawmyour other thread so nvm.

Alright so I redownloaded LG Flash Tool and everything and I put my phone in download mode. It starts updating my firmware, it gets to 49% and then fails and says "TYPE_WPARAM_UPGRADE_ERROR" in the log. What does this mean and how do I fix it? I think when I flashed the TMobile .TOT it made my Bell phone think it is TMobile and maybe that's why I'm getting this error. How do I fix my phone and make it realize it's D803?

Change your windows language and locals like unicode to english if it wasn't
Turn off or allow the app through your antivirus.
Reinstall LG USB Driver, LG Flash Tool etc
Change the LG device in Device manager to COM port 41 or COM port 4 before connecting to PC.
See or your KDz weights around 2gb and not less then it cause that would be maybe a sign of an corrupted KDZ.
The last thing what i also think is that the Lg flash tool maybe reads the D801 in the build.prop or what and as safety measure it cuts off the flashing progress so you might change the D801 to D803 or however it was called in Bell.
Hope that one of these things could solve your problem.

Thanks for the info, but how do I change the build prop? I tried the adb usb thing and I get "device closed"

Woohoo! I fixed the bi*ch! Sorry, I'm a little excited here... Anyway, I followed the instructions above and it worked. I think the above is well written and easy to understand except for one thing: How to change build number (if you're like me and flashed the wrong TOT).
It's simple. Make sure you have a rooted phone and download root explorer (black icon with a little android face). Next, follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948558
Make sure you change the model number before you try flashing the kdz only if you messed up with tot flashing like me. Otherwise, as mentioned above, make sure you're on COM41. This worked great. Now I can take my bell phone back to the store and have it seen to (I have a hardware issue with the screen no sensing touch in certain areas).

[Q] Issues with refurb D802 32GB that LG Flashed the wrong rom!

Hi All,
I've replied to a few different threads here trying to repair my G2 D802 after an LG update put on the wrong rom, which later I found out I had a possibly refurb from China. By this (for those that don't know) basically means that I had a different model....
My Symptons after the flash were it was only showing 10GB free, and the Touchscreen did not work properly (pressing one part of the screen would cause another part to click) so it was pretty useless. Thanks to @MariMur though, he advised to use a USB OTG cable to plug in a mouse which worked great to try a few things! He also pointed me to some other posts which helped loads too
So.. I decided to first open the back cover of my G2. Very easy to do, tried the pry tools initially but got no where, so used my nail in then end. Take out the SIM Card slot, then starting from the bottom of the slot, pry open the first clip by splitting it from there, once only clip is open, wedge your nail in and move it down. All the others will unclip and after about 1 minute, the back is off! To my (not so surprise at this stage) I had D800 written on the top right of the phone, and the Antenna at the bottom said D801/D803. Importantly though the touch ribbon cable on the right said D800 so that explains how that's happened. Somehow, the people I bought this phone off managed to put on a D802 ROM with drivers for a D800.

With this in mind, I went about flashing a D800 ROM. I tried a few things like installing a D800 TWRP to start things off. This resulted in getting a fastboot black screen on start of the phone, and I lost download mode (it would flash the screen for download mode, but then go back to fastboot). Main thing for me was to get back into download mode to flash on stock again, so I tried various things but eventually did one simple thing.
1) Download the D802 laf file from here, and flash it from the pc (after installing adb and fastboot installer from XDA) with the following: -
Code:
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash laf laf.img
then turn off the phone by holding down power, and download mode was restored. I then installed a stock D802 rom again.
Now... I actually found out I don't need to do the above at all! We need to follow the @SuperSport method partially by going here. Download the kitkat D800 Rom as that's what you need. Also use the LGUP_8974.dll in that post, rather than the normal one, but before you flash it, you need to modify the .TOT file. I didn't find the original post before as I trawled the net and found a FB post that did it, but found out @sepacek had already found the solution, so follow it here except replacing D800 with D802 at that one point (0006017 I think it was, but do a Edit->Find for D800). Save that, flash away and it worked perfectly. My LG came back to life, and even had restored my 32GB loveliness (although shows 24GB Free, so not sure if that's still correct).
My Main problem now is I still have the problem of a Lost IMEI number due to the bad original flash. I tried to use the tutorials to do it, also try to do it via EFS Pro, but I fall at the first hurdle really.... The phone COM port comes up, but the program keeps saying "No Phone" for some reason. Anyone know the solution to this?
Another thing I have noticed is that my Baseband is "unknown" for some reason, not sure if that's related to the IMEI issue or not, but I've definitely flashed the KK baseband from @Cloudyfa 's links on XDA.
I'll update this post once I find the solution
EDIT 1: I opened up my phone again and decided to look at the motherboard. I have discovered that the motherboard cover might say D800, but the motherboard has something on the top left (after removing the cover) that says it is a D801! So ... I've update JB D801 ROM, phone is massively unstable and reboots a lot. I tried KK D801 ROM and it's now stable, but stuck with the IMEI and Baseband being unknown, but I can't root it as no one knows how to yet. I'm pondering on going back to the D800 ROM and rooting the device again (as that worked lasttime) and try installing a different baseband/modem to see if that can wake things up. I did notice though that there is a tutorial to install D802 roms over D801 devices... I wonder if that's how my phone was in the first place!
EDIT 2: I have installed a D801 Stock ROM, rooted, installed Optimus G3 ROM and was able to see the baseband version pop up, however my IMEI number is still null. The IMEI number is there somewhere on the phone as LGFlashTool 1.8.1 still shows it when I go to flash a stock TOT file... so I'm still trying things. The guide on the web to restore the IMEI number via Qualcomm tools doesn't work (or EFS Pro) as when I add the port number, the phone appears as '(0)?' so I cannot pull the relevant NV data to update the IMEI....annoying as I'm so close now! I'm still trying though as I should be able to restore this data somehow...

Normally, when a IMEI is gone, it's gone for good - unless you made an EFS backup. You can't use the EFS backup of another phone. I feel very sorry for you, and I sincerely hope you're able to claim your money back from the seller for false advertising.

I will have to agree with this, the only way I've ever got my IMEI back was by restoring a Nanadroid backup (more importantly my EFS partition).

Cheers guys, I'm hoping I can still revive it as the IMEI can be picked up by LG Flash Tools v1.8.1 as it shows up in the window. I was tempted to go to eBay and state my case, but I've already emailed the UK seller and he said he got it from someone of gumtree which don't help... I'll decide in a few days though!

Having same problem..
I'm also having same problem....
My Phone Model No. is LG G2 D802.....but when i opened the back cover of my phone it says different model no.'s like D800 at the bottom and D800 at the top right corner.......
So now i'm confused what to do and how to do........
All i want is to have root with custom recovery and to use Cloudy G3 Rom.........but don't know which autorec version to use (i.e D800 or D802)...
and if some how recovery is installed then while installing Cloudy rom which Model no. to select( D800 or D802)

Remove your IMEI from here, never post that as stolen phone people will use it!
If you have a D802 ROM installed, you need to use ioroot to get root first, but then turn on ADB debugging and then backup your EFS before doing any more!
You can then restore the D800 ROM via the TOT method I have mentioned in my post. Download the D800 TOT file, use a hex editor inside it to change the model recognition in there to D802, and you'll be back in business with a proper ROM. and know what to recover!

Hello my friend! I come from a spanish forum where there's a specific thread for this problem you have, and let me tell you that, it hasn't been any type of resolution till the date, apparently is a very common problem when you buy a G2 from Aliexpress, this chinese retailer grabs a bunch of D800 version of the G2 and change treir IMEIs and back plate into the D802 version (don't ask how) obviously change the rom for another that match the new fake d802 imei, thats why at first glance there's no visible sign that in reality you have a d800 and when people update or change treir rom is when the problem come out to surface causing and irreversible damage to the cellphone although you have done an incredible advance, the pith is, the imei never was the original one so is almost impossible get it back.

Aliexpress... I wonder if they can provide the file that flashed this phone then. I might ask them as I would be happy going back to that to be honest. I do feel my phone is a D801 though from looking at the parts!
At the moment though, I suppose I can give this phone to some kids in my family to play games on

Question... any reason the EFS from another D801 32GB would not work? Or might that be because it will have someone elses IMEI on it?

As u said that you installed Optimus G3 rom.....but your condition is that your phone was D802 but the motherboard or internal parts shows it is D801....so what exactly you do. to intstall Optimus G3.......i.e which model number u select while installing that rom.....and at first which custom recovery(model no..D802 or D801) you installed.........becoz at this moment i`m pretty much confused how to install a custom rom like Cloudy G3 or something else.......i bought two Lg G2 phones yesterday without warranty in india from local dealer so pretty much sure that single step wolud lead to bricked device

I've replied to a few different threads here trying to repair my G2 D802 after an LG update put on the wrong rom, which later I found out I had a possibly refurb from China. By this (for those that don't know) basically means that I had a different model....
My Symptons after the flash were it was only showing 10GB free, and the Touchscreen did not work properly (pressing one part of the screen would cause another part to click) so it was pretty useless. Thanks to @MariMur though, he advised to use a USB OTG cable to plug in a mouse which worked great to try a few things! He also pointed me to some other posts which helped loads too
So.. I decided to first open the back cover of my G2. Very easy to do, tried the pry tools initially but got no where, so used my nail in then end. Take out the SIM Card slot, then starting from the bottom of the slot, pry open the first clip by splitting it from there, once only clip is open, wedge your nail in and move it down. All the others will unclip and after about 1 minute, the back is off! To my (not so surprise at this stage) I had D800 written on the top right of the phone, and the Antenna at the bottom said D801/D803. Importantly though the touch ribbon cable on the right said D800 so that explains how that's happened. Somehow, the people I bought this phone off managed to put on a D802 ROM with drivers for a D800.
With this in mind, I went about flashing a D800 ROM. I tried a few things like installing a D800 TWRP to start things off. This resulted in getting a fastboot black screen on start of the phone, and I lost download mode (it would flash the screen for download mode, but then go back to fastboot). Main thing for me was to get back into download mode to flash on stock again, so I tried various things but eventually did one simple thing.
1) Download the D802 laf file from here, and flash it from the pc (after installing adb and fastboot installer from XDA) with the following: -
Code:
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash laf laf.img
then turn off the phone by holding down power, and download mode was restored. I then installed a stock D802 rom again.
Now... I actually found out I don't need to do the above at all! We need to follow the @SuperSport method partially by going here. Download the kitkat D800 Rom as that's what you need. Also use the LGUP_8974.dll in that post, rather than the normal one, but before you flash it, you need to modify the .TOT file. I didn't find the original post before as I trawled the net and found a FB post that did it, but found out @sepacek had already found the solution, so follow it here except replacing D800 with D802 at that one point (0006017 I think it was, but do a Edit->Find for D800). Save that, flash away and it worked perfectly. My LG came back to life, and even had restored my 32GB loveliness (although shows 24GB Free, so not sure if that's still correct).
My Main problem now is I still have the problem of a Lost IMEI number due to the bad original flash. I tried to use the tutorials to do it, also try to do it via EFS Pro, but I fall at the first hurdle really.... The phone COM port comes up, but the program keeps saying "No Phone" for some reason. Anyone know the solution to this?
Another thing I have noticed is that my Baseband is "unknown" for some reason, not sure if that's related to the IMEI issue or not, but I've definitely flashed the KK baseband from @Cloudyfa 's links on XDA.
I'll update this post once I find the solution
EDIT 1: I opened up my phone again and decided to look at the motherboard. I have discovered that the motherboard cover might say D800, but the motherboard has something on the top left (after removing the cover) that says it is a D801! So ... I've update JB D801 ROM, phone is massively unstable and reboots a lot. I tried KK D801 ROM and it's now stable, but stuck with the IMEI and Baseband being unknown, but I can't root it as no one knows how to yet. I'm pondering on going back to the D800 ROM and rooting the device again (as that worked lasttime) and try installing a different baseband/modem to see if that can wake things up. I did notice though that there is a tutorial to install D802 roms over D801 devices... I wonder if that's how my phone was in the first place!
EDIT 2: I have installed a D801 Stock ROM, rooted, installed Optimus G3 ROM and was able to see the baseband version pop up, however my IMEI number is still null. The IMEI number is there somewhere on the phone as LGFlashTool 1.8.1 still shows it when I go to flash a stock TOT file... so I'm still trying things. The guide on the web to restore the IMEI number via Qualcomm tools doesn't work (or EFS Pro) as when I add the port number, the phone appears as '(0)?' so I cannot pull the relevant NV data to update the IMEI....annoying as I'm so close now! I'm still trying though as I should be able to restore this data somehow...

If you can still view your imei on anything on pc then it is more than likely still intact...the efs partition may have become slightly corrupt or something may have screwed up the format...do a little research on which partition efs is stored on and what format it gets mounted as when system boots...it seems to me it just isnt mounting properly as i had the same issue on my gs4 but there are apps specially made for samsung devices...im sure there is a fix for your issue...its finding it that may be an issue...my device was down for three months before i found a fix...dont give up!

As u said that you installed Optimus G3 rom.....but your condition is that your phone was D802 but the motherboard or internal parts shows it is D801....so what exactly you do. to intstall Optimus G3.......i.e which model number u select while installing that rom.....and at first which custom recovery(model no..D802 or D801) you installed.........becoz at this moment i`m pretty much confused how to install a custom rom like Cloudy G3 or something else.......i bought two Lg G2 phones yesterday without warranty in india from local dealer so pretty much sure that single step wolud lead to bricked device

I used the steps in my first post to get a stock ROM for D801 on, then used the normal KitKat rooting my phone (via TowelRoot) and installing TWRP (via AutoRec). Then I copied the ROM to a folder on my phone, booted to recovery (you have to turn off the power of the phone, then hold down Vol- and power when turning back on, soon as the LG logo pop ups, release the power and press it again and hold quickly (still holding vol+ all the time) to get into factory reset. Release all buttons when you see it loaded, then press power putton to perform the reset, but it will just load up TWRP to install your ROM).

I saw the Samsung ones and tools, but can't seem to find anything that will help unfortunately. I'm wondering about doing a FULL wipe of the phone and trying to flash on everything to see if that helps but not just yet. I'll open up my phone some more soon and remove the motherboard to make sure it is a D801!

I am also having the same problem.

If few region of touch not working then open the bottom black part which is speaker and then check the connector connection...if loose then press and tighten them.
And please do these after turned off ur device.
There are many method to recover imei no.
So search on google.
If u cant recover.
Then you again need to force ur phone into 9008...
When u get 9008
Then msg me..
I will fix it..
Keep in mind.
Battery must be disconnected when shorting
2nd keep tot file extracted in mbn format.
And ask me before shorting..
May be i m not free.
So first ask for my free time.

Did you purchase the refurbished LG G2 802 from Aliexpress? Seen the feed back for them and they're mostly terrible, refurbished = cobbled together from parts of all the models except the one you want, but the ones for the "new" ones seem good, but am very wary...

I got mine from eBay, but I suspect the phone is from AliExpress as it is a D801 from looking at the parts, but I can't get a phone signal to work on there anymore. Everything else is fine though

ATT v20. Cant boot into bootloader..

I have a ATT v20 and ive been trying to root and put TWRP on it but cant seem to get into the bootloader or recovery or download mode.
Tried typing adb reboot bootloader and it just restarts the phone pretty much. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

No bootloader stock. You have to go through this procedure

The only things I've been able to get it to do is display two barcode thingy screen. I got it into recovery by typing adb reboot recovery and it displays an android guy with an exclamation mark but no options. Tried to upload a screenshot but tapatalk won't let me lol.

Okay so following that tutorial he posted.. I get up to about STEP2.BAT.. Tons of static screens and Im not sure if I messed up my phone for good or not..
My phone has the H915 firmware or whatever from the KDZ.. I dumped my system so Im not sure if that saves me or not?

Also have no cellular signal..
I try following that tutorial to the T but idk what im messing up

Could really use some help guys..
Pretty much stuck on the H915 KDZ I flashed with no cellular.. Following the steps on the H910 tutorial doesnt work.. I get to past Step 1 and either Step 2 messes up or it boots into step 3 and tells me fastboot isnt a valid command or something....

Okay so I got TWRP on it.. but when I try to do anything, its like it doesnt mount system.. I try to flash the system.zip and system.img and i get unable to mount system (unknown error 150)..
Then I go to reboot recovery and it says no OS installed.. So Im assuming when I flashed the system.img it erased the OS?

Now you need to do this part to complete
Now that you are in TWRP you need to do a couple of things:

I did.. I flashed the 10m zip and flashed the system.img.. made sure not to get any mount errors..
So it flashed successfully.. rebooted system and it gave me a kernel error im assuming so I held down volume down to restart as it said and now its on the LG screen.. waiting to see if boot time just takes longer or what not and Ill report back..
But shouldnt I have data and cellular? Im on Cricket which is apart of ATT and in his post after flashing the KDZ file.. it says I should but I dont..
At this point I really dont want any root or anything.. I just want to restore my phone to a working state with cellular as I have a young son and use my phone for work and my stupid ass shouldnt of been ****ing with it from the beginning lol.. If I can get back to 10m or stock or whatever and the modem works ill be happy..
I have a full dump from that one step.. Will that help me revert these changes back? How do I go abouts using the DUMP to restore?
Sorry.. never used a dump before.. If it'll even work

Okay so no luck.. maybe TWRP didnt give me an error but when I went to reinstall the files again because i waited 10 mins.. it gave me the unable to mount system unknown error 150.. any ideas?

If you have a Cricket H910 it may be different than an normal H910.
Did you take a dump of your firmware before rooting? It is an optional step, but I hope you did.

When I go to flash the system.zip and .img it erases system completely and then I get the unable to mount system (unknown error 150)
Im pretty sure this all has to do with the encryption.. When I go to format data, it cant mount storage.. When I finally get it to format; and I flash the system.zip and .img i get the unable to mount system..
I dont even want root anymore.. I just want to know how to use my DUMP to fix my phone if its possible?

If it is an AT&T H910 then there is a thread, linked to in the post about rooting that will get you back to stock.
However, I warn you, if you can't make this work, then the chance of you restoring to stock are not good.
I can tell from the posts / PMs that you made, that you didn't read the entire post before trying to root.
You have asked questions that are answered right in the post.

LG 20 H910-10Q to US996

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

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.

Lg v35 download mode fix?

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 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?

Lg mobile support tool will not work. Looks like im out of luck

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 don’t see where it says that. Also I used this to downgrade to Nouget from Oreo. It should work.

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)
Cheers

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?

I just got a chance to try this today and it worked awesome. Thank you! Now I have no bloatware on the phone, and managed to get past a Frp bypass. Now I just need at&t to unlock the device and I will be good to go!

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.

You are welcome, glad I could help & major thanks to
"metal409" for sharing the modded LGUP in the first place.

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?
