[Completed] fake lg g2 d802? - XDA Assist

hi guys wondering if anyone can help? i have bought a lg g2 d802 32gb from a seller in asia on ebay and having some probs.
firstly, its not picking up 4g, i am with ee, and the d802 supports all 3 frequencies which ee use. i thought it may be a software issue, so i went to install cyanogenmod on it. the first thing i noticed which was strange is that the phone was already rooted (phone is sold as brand new) and has phils clockwork restore software on it? when i went to install the mod, it failed with a warning that the mod failed due to the phone actually being a d801!
now the imei, on the sticker on the back of phone matches the number in the hardware. and on doing a imei check online, it does state that its a d802?
confused.com!! any input would be welcome.

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
My bet is that, with root and custom recovery on it already, someone decided to use a variant firmware on the device as well, making the device "think" it's a D801 (T-Mobile model) instead of a D802 (European model).
Either that, or someone went very great lengths on changing the model number on the device (including hacking LG).
In the case of the former, you will need a stock ROM to bring yourself back to the D802 firmware. I would clear this situation (and my theory) with the device experts first, as well, as get an idea as to what the process will be. Please check out the following thread:

thanks joel.maxuel to confuse matters, the cm12 for d802 wouldnt install, so i tried it with the d801 version and it worked.
so to confirm what your saying as im a newbie with rooting and mods etc.. if i put a stock rom back onto the d802, it would then accept cm12 specifically for a d802 and would stop the 'warning cant install this rom as this phone is a d801?'
many thanks, just trying to get clear the job to hand.

That's the theory, yes. But if everything seems to work while spoofed as a D801, I'm not sure if I see the point in bothering to switch it back. The only advantage I can see is to potentially take advantage of some cell frequencies that were previously blocked, and you may end up blocking other ones in the process.
Depends on where in the world you live. If it's North America, might as well leave things be (since the stock was for T-Mobile USA). If in Europe, you may be better off going back to D802 stock.
I hope that helps.

im in the uk, and d802 has the correct frequencies for 4g which my provider 'ee' uses which is why i specifically bought the d802. however 4g ISNT working with this 'd802' but it was working with my last d802.
upon going to install cm12 for d802, i was hoping the software change would make the 4g frequencies work as they should on a d802 e.g. 800/1800/2600.. philz clockwork mod tho just said that it cant install cm12 as the version i had d/l was for a d802 (of course - thats the phone i thought id bought!) philz clockworkmod says my phone is actually a d801, so im thinking there no wonder the 4g isnt working if thats the case!
i was unable to install cm12 rom for d802, so would a stock rom for d802 work? seeing as the error message i had with the cm12 was 'cant install this, your phone is a d801'
quite confusing i know hmmm

As it sounds like you truly have a D802, in theory an 802 stock ROM should work. Was even suggested in the other thread you posted in. Although, putting the rubber to the road, I don't know for sure how to switch stock firmware's (normally for LG you need a KDZ file and an emergency flash tool). This part is best answered by asking in the thread I linked earlier on.
Best of luck.

Well first of all, Is there a KK Rom for your phone? Without the Link we can't give you any information since each Rom is different from each other.
1. Ofcourse it will work if it's the correct rom buld for the phone.
2. There aren't any problems with flashing but flashing a wrong rom could hard brick your phone.
3. Sim card must work in the most Phone rom's
Sim Card will work and yes you can put a Kit Kat ROM in your device if the ROM exist but if you do have in mind that all ROMS have bugs and problema that usually get fix when the developer updates them

Can i install the D802's firmware on the D800

Hi everyone
I would like to know if is that possible to install the D802's firmware on D800??
I have the same exact question. If anyone finds out please message me and or let me know.
No
No, I was scammed into buying an at&t d800 which had a d802 back cover and box, etc.
When I flashed the d802 kdz I got random touches and reboots.
Used the d800 tot method and now the phone is fine.
Hope this helps
I don<t think this is possible, my friend had the same question but he was told it was not possible ..
Good luck anyways
It works
Hy!I have flashed my D800 with a D802 ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678906 and I haven´t got any problems.But I see a lot of people who bricked their devices by trying this,I think that mine was a D802 flashed with a D800 ROM or I think it works only on unlocked 32GB devices because all the people that I have seen bricking their G2´s haved 16GB models,now flash tools shows my G2 as D802 (I have the 32GB model).I think that isn´t a problem since the AT&T D800 is identical with the D802 in terms hardware and spare parts (I changed my broken lcd and touchscreen module with D802´s and works flawelesly).So...who wants to asume the risk of flashing an international ROM could give it a try.Good Luck!
Honestly, I think the 1st question that should be asked and answered here is, is the hardware for the D800 and the D802 the same or are there any differences between the two. Roms are modeled off the phones stock Rom. So if you flash a Rom for one phone to a different phone and it works flawlessly, then chances are there are no hardware differences in the two variations of the phone. But if you do run into problems, like what sjk971005 had, then chances are there are in fact differences in hardware between the two variations.
It all really depends what you are trying to do. If you are trying to flash custom roms then I don't suggest it. I know that someone posted that you can do it but idk about that. Y would u want to flash a D802 version when you can easily get one specifically for that D800? You are probably just setting yourself up for more headaches in the future, i don't personally recommend it.

My Friend iam using LG G2 d800 32gb and its on 4.4.2 kitkat D80020c
can u please guid me how do i flash it with D80220c firmware.
Iam sick and tired of AT&T
Iam having the problems in contacts and messeging. the phone hangs and lags when using contact and sms.
To those that quoted me:
I ended up having the at&t software installed but debloated by myself until I decided to use Cloudy G2. Even the person quoted above says he installed a ROM. I recommend you guys read through the guides and flash a ROM from the G2 android development section such as Cloudyfa's or Abdulrahamamir's that is made to be compatible for all/most models. You will get the same experience as having the D802 and have no at&t bloatware.
Cheers

Boost Moto G with VZW Firmware?

So I have a Boost Moto G(1031) that I unlocked the Bootloader on & put the stock Verizon Moto G(XT1028) firmware on so I can OTA on Page Plus & make Life easier later. I was wondering if any one has tried to put the Verizon CM on this device setup like this or any other Verizon Rom for that matter. If so did it work?, Brick it? Error Out? what was the result's & what Version of android were you on when you tried this? I would like to have the latest Cyanogenmod 11 for Moto G on my device but some places I see 1028 & others I see 1031 so just wondering the outcome before I try cause im sure someone has tried this already. Thanks for any info
Boost Moto G with Verizon rom
I have the Boost Moto G programmed for PagePlus also. I have installed several of the rom's, both cm and asop with no problems such as "brick" or looping as you are worried about. Each of the different rom's seem to have their own issues you probably have read about in the forums.
I'm no expert, but I think as long as you have adb and fastboot figured out and follow the guides you'll do alright.
Currently I'm using the Flashable ZIP Stock Motorola firmware in the development forum and it is working very well for me.
I'm using Android version 4.4.4
Good Luck!

Right on. Yea all custom roms seem to have their own issues whatever they may be. I'm as well on 4.4.4 stock I haven't rooted yet cause I wasn't sure if I would be able to use the Roms for a Verizon device & hadn't seen any info on it. Thanks for the info I'll get her rooted & start playing yay!!

[Completed] [Q] LG G2 D800 Unlocked, can't update to most recent version?

Hi, I've got an unlocked originally AT&T LG G2, D800 model, Black 32 gb version, now being used with T-Mobile.
I've got a bit of an issue. I can't update it to the latest version of Android available to it. Now, I was able to finally update it to 4.4.2 from 4.2.2, through a looong and convoluted process (terribly sorry, I can't remember the tutorial page) involving com ports, and "Download mode" on the device.
Anywho, while it is 4.4.2, I don't believe it is the latest version for this device, as I've read that it is supposed to have the "Knock Code" feature, but it does not.
Of course, the first thing I did was go to the LG site, and download their "PC Suite" software. I had it check for updates for my device, but it said it was on the latest version.
Not sure what's going wrong here, and could really use some help with this.
(I'm posting in this area because I did search around a lot about this, but I'm not really sure what I'm even looking for)
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. It's probably best to ask your question in the G2 q&a section here:

[BOUNTY] Donate to get someone to port T-Mobile (D801) Lollipop ROM for D800

Earlier, the awesome Novembre5 had ported a T-Mobile 4.4.2 ROM for D800 users. This is awesome because we get to use WiFi Calling on our D800's even if we are on T-Mobile SIM's.
Now T-Mobile and AT&T finally have Android 5.0 Lollipop Builds out. We would greatly appreciate if someone could port this ROM over for us. I reached out to Novembre5 again, but he hadn't responded.
To that extent, lets put a bounty on it and see how badly people really want the Port.
I am willing to put $10 to whoever is able to port it for us.
If others are interested, do reply to this thread and I'll keep updating the list.
Pledges
1) aatifsumar: $10
2) wtang: $10
Total so far: $20
I think work should be done to decouple the ROM from the wifi-calling feature. I don't want to have to leave CloudyStock 2.7.
also, if you're serious, start an escrow service
I also use my D800 on T-Mobile. I'd love to be running official Lollipop with WiFi calling working! Count me in for $10.
Seems like a cool idea. However is not WiFi calling available for T-mobile costumers only, due to you need to register with T-mobile?

Yes, the ported ROM would be used by T-Mobile customers. Would not offer any advantages over the regular AT&T ROM for non T-Mo users.

I wonder if indiegogo could function for this, though that would probably start from the developer side, and we need to start from the bait side. IE, people commit, their money enters escrow, and is only released from the pot when the requirements are met. The pot grows until a developer comes along and get tempted.

Because it for use on the att g2.
Getting an unlocked att g2 and using it on t-mobile is an option for people,
Also with the port of the t-mobile rom, we would be able to use t-mobiles wifi callibg which is only available on their stock lg rom.
We definity need this to happen. Been using the kitkat tmobile rom port for a while and i love the wifi calling

I'm confused. If all you did was switch the D800 modem for the D801 modem, and everything else is the same, then that means you're running your D800 with a D801 kernel? I assume the T-Mobile flashable Lollipop ROM in the link contains a D801 Lollipop kernel. I thought you can't run a kernel from another variant G2 on the AT&T G2. Can somebody clarify?

If u check Novembre5 post kitkat version, he mentioned that all he did was to add att modem rest all are of tmobile.

Thanks for your reply. And thanks for figuring this out and sharing with the rest of us. I may try this when I get home tonight.
One question though. The AT&T D800 has an extra noise cancellation microphone on the back above the camera that the T-Mobile D801 doesn't have. I wonder if using the D801 kernel and ROM means that extra mic no longer works. Either way, it's not a big deal.

I dont know about that.. I guess last time with kitkat i used custom kernel. May be once on lollipop we can flash custom kernel.
