[Q] Can't unbrick phone, LG FlashTool always fails after 2 seconds. - AT&T LG G3

So I edited my build.prop and forgot to reset permissions before rebooting, now my phone's bricked. I can't seem to find a kdz file for my phone (D850) so I've been trying to fix it with the tot method.
The FlashTool checked the model and instantly failed until I got a different dll file to make it skip that verification, now whenever it begins the process it always fails after 2 seconds. I've followed the procedure at least a dozen times now making sure I'm not missing anything but I just can't get this to work.
If I'm completely stuck here, would there be any way to get a replacement from AT&T? I bought the phone only a week ago so I was thinking if I pulled the defective device card they'd give me another.
Thanks in advance.

That's exactly where I ended up before making this thread. Using that dll and still getting the error. Is it a problem that the FlashTool reports back with NULL for PID and IMEI before failing?

Hate to say, but it's the first I've heard of this.

Damn, and after all the years I've spent modding my phones I never thought I'd run into something like this. Never have I not been able to fix my (or a friend's) phone after it was softbricked, hell I fixed a softbricked HD2 that was running ICS at the time.
Well this sucks, looks like I'll have to keep looking for an alternative method or I'll have to make a trip down to AT&T.
Thanks for the attempt, though. Hopefully nobody else has this issue.

Flashed blaze modem to sk4g, Lost imei.

I for the life of me can not figure out how to get my imei back, nor do I know how to rewrite in in hex editor. I am current running GO V2 rom. I did the blaze flash yesterday now my phone is basically junk. I can no longer receive mms/pic's, my qik video app wont work, no imei. Its really aggravating me to know end, has caused noting but trouble for me. Can some one please help me to fix my imei so my phone will work properly again?
I already have hex editor on my phone and superuser access, root explorer, and all that other stuff. I just need help. I also have my imei handy as well.
I forgot to mention, I odined back to factory image, then rerooted with superoneclick, did the whole recovery in the system/bin thing, put the update.zip in root of sd card, installed quick boot and then followed flash instructions on GO V2 page. I have done this 4 times already and am getting faster at it lol. Not a good thing. So I have been through all that already.
So, you went ahead and restored the clockworkmod backup recovery image that you regularly archive to your sdcard and that didn't fix the problem?

So, you have the Android SDK installed and you managed to get through the instructions at the command line?
Don't get upset with me, I just need to establish that you really completed the steps.

Im not upset with you, im actually happy someone decided to chime in. I am currently odin'ing back to stock with the clear efs option checked. Its my last resort.
at the command line, it told me no such file or folder, so i was at a dead end on that one. It was however, a good try/suggestion.

help problem with update.

sorry for my English fierst lol )))
hello. i have unlocked lg d800 undroid 4.4.2 not rooted and whont update knock code and when i trie to update it cpmes messige "youer phone not registered yet" whot can i do? please help. thanks ))
most probably you'll have to root your phone.
Kernel with the knock code update is available here (last one) https://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensourceList?types=NAME&search=d800
So according to my knowledge you can get the knock code update simply by flashing the D800-20u kernel on top of the KITKAT(original) rom.
i can't get it without root?? i never root this phone
Well it seems that you need to root to flash which is really easy. Rooting is not rocket science

No data will be lost. So that suggests you it is a simple process and you always can unroot the device.
****For your information Even if you do a factory reset only the settings will be gone. Non of you photos or files will be lost.

Well i think i found to flash the update without rooting. Download the kernel (last one in https://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensourceList?types=NAME&search=d800 and extract it. If it contains a kdz file then tell me. Im at work btw)

Thanks for the IMEI advice. I understand that you where telling me to not show my IMEI on the post.
Also, yes, I did change the com port to 41, that is why all the process runs correct until the moment when I disconnect the phone and connect it again (after the COM41 window says Ready) then it start the precess and gave my that message.
Please, I am really desperate, I don't know what else to do to fix my phone.

Permanently void your warranty is what it will do. It's similar to a flash or root counter but can't be reset.

$20 to fix your phone. Sounds pretty cheap.

Connect phone to your PC in download mode and do "firmware rescue" via Smart Switch.

I have this same phone......rooted. Can use your help. I want flash any working verizon rom. But more importantly I want to know how to recover from a brick..............
Noticed you were able to recovery from a brick......with Odin? Curious how. I tried to flash a stock Verizon rom, while rooted with ODIN, and pit file.......but it fails.
I am nervous of trying to flash TWRP and custom rom, if I don't know of a full proof recovery method.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Last question, does that stock contain the modem (modem.bin)? My phone is unbricked but the EFS is messed up because I flashed a marshmallow update via TWRP and did not backup my EFS. I eventally had to restore my original 5.0.2 stock rom.

The sure bet way that i know from doing would be root easiest would be autoroot unless kingoroot apk works for note 5 now, and then download the csc select apk https://csc-select.en.uptodown.com/android the app says it may work unrooted so maybe try that first otherwise for sure rooted works and so check the try root method box and itll take you to a screen showing cscs like spr bst xas.. choose spr, phone should reboot and have the animation. Just unroot if u want afterwards if u had to. Unless u havent ever been rooted and dont want to be....but then idk how you wouldve lost the stock animation.
---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------
When u try the odin do you check rtn, clear efs and whatever else that other xda forum says? Maybe pain to try again vs this method which is not as long, download apk, autoroot if needed, change csc.
Solved for some reason odin wasnt flashing correctly.
