[Q] How to unbrick soft bricked LG G2 LS980ZVA ?

I was rooted and messed up some system file and now my phone is soft bricked.
how do I unbrick it ? I seen this one to update firmware to ZV7 . one person said he had to do the zv7 then upgrade to get it to the latest firmware. Will this work ? http://www.rwilco12.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=96 I can enter download mode and do factory reset but need to know if this way will work on my device. this one is a sprint phone.

if you messed up the system files, you will need to re-flash stock to fix it.
all the files and guidance you need can be found here.

I tried the link you gave earlier but the program used uses a kdz file. I didn't know which one to use. What are all the files needed on the link you gave ? Which KDZ files are used for each different phone companies of LG G2 ?
I chose to use the download from the link I showed and fixed it from the "LG G2 Stock" folder download by following the instructions.
The link that I posted is the one for Sprint ZV7. Using that it unbricks it and then had to update software from ZV7 to ZV8 to ZVA to ZVC to ZVD. Not it's all updated.

i dont understand the problem.
there is a "sprint" directory on the downloads page with only sprint files there (including 3 of the builds you mentioned).

On the flash tool it says to select a kdz file. On the firmware link it shows different kdz files but which one is suppose to be used if it is ?
In the Sprint directory (home > Xda > LG G2 > Stock > Sprint) it shows a .dll file and some zip files. I looked at one zip file and it don't have a kdz file. Is that needed to use that flash tool ?

[Completed] Half Dead LG G2, No use of touch, imei, network

I have been stuck for over a month now and now I am forced to make this thread with the full story:
I bought an LG G2 D802. A few months later I updated it through the LG software update tool. This thing killed my phone. It installed lollipop and I then had these issues:
[1]no imei.
[2]no baseband.(FIXED)
[3]touch is not working properly. It is haywire. It does not respond properly at all and the phone is unusable
[4]no sim usage as no IMEI.
[5] ONLY 16 gb showing as memory available. (FIXED)
I did this. Using OTG to use my phone, I flashed stock d802 ROM (kitkat). This got me to Stock ROM but phone was boot looping. I factory resetted and it started up okay. I then found a way to fix the 16 gb issue by using a droid view guide called : "Your 32GB LG G2 Shows only 16GB Storage Space? Here’s How to Fix the Issue! " This fixed my 16 gb issue. But everything else same... Then I followed a guide to fix ESN but it demanded that the phone be rooted. So I rooted and installed TWRP. But I was not able to fix IMEI. So I then gave up I searched my issue extensively and found a thread (ON XDA) which i cant post here... But its name is: "Strange touch problem after upgrading my lg g2". There I read of other people who had the same issues. This basically happens to refurbished handsets, apparently. There where no proper fixes there. None of the people where able to fix their phones.
Some guy said that check your motherboard and install the software according to the motherboard. I opened the board and found it to be a motherboard of LG D801. No problem. I downloaded D801 software and tried installing with kdz method but it failed. And now so has the tot method. I have downloaded over 20 gbs of different software and roms. ALl of these roms where completely downloaded!! Please help me here...
Its not me only: These threads are after the same issue!!:
1. Name is: (on XDA) "LG G2 No IMEI, Touch not Responding After Update" (One person)
2. Name is: (on XDA) "Strange touch problem after upgrading my lg g2" (MULTIPLE people withe SAME issue)
I am not an advanced android guy but I can follow directions and I have adb, root, twrp, qpst set up.

Can you be more specific on the error when using KDZ and TOT? Please post a screenshot.

The kdz method just fails at 2%. But the tot method works. I installed jellybean to see if that fixed the problem But no go. Still have no touch screen and no IMEI. The major problem right now is touch screen ONLY!

zhzhou said:
Which TOT did you install? D801 or D802? I think it should be D801 because it matches your motherboard.
Click to expand...

I agree that I should install tot of d801 . But the install fails. I tried using the LG_UP 974 dll file but that does not work too! The error is alwasys wrong model number. The TOT method works for d802 roms.
I am wondering. Should I flash a kernel of d801?

hyelton said:
Well that can happen if you flashed the WRONG model for your phone, and youd need to flash the correct model to fix it.
or 2 its an hardware issue.

Hyelten some help would be dearly loved!
zhzhou said:
You should install the D801 TOT. Here's how to do it.
1) Download D801 TOT
2) Download HxD hex editor
3) Open D801 TOT in HxD
4) Find first instance of "D801" and change to "D802"
5) Save new TOT file
6) Open Flashtool and flash the modified D801 TOT that you just created (use the LG_UP974.dll)
This should work to get D801 firmware onto your device.

I did what you said and changed the first instance to d802. Now a new error dialog appears saying: "failed previousload()"

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Your devices forum is the best place to ask for help, they are the experts on your device. Start with this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-sticky-roll-thread-t3123148 and follow the go back to stock. Also see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2

zhzhou said:
It's unlikely you'll hard brick the phone. You've already put the D802 firmware on a board that you've confirmed is D801.
I had wrong firmware and subsequently lost the IMEI. I flashed the right one firmware (after modifying TOT because of model mismatch error), and the IMEI came back.
Isn't your phone pretty much useless already? I think the steps I described above is pretty low risk. You can find the answer pretty quickly by just doing it

Android 6.0 for Metro PCS Variant?

Hey there. Do you all think that the Metro Variant of the G Stylo will receive the Marshmallow Update, now that the T-Mobile variant should be getting the update? Any thoughts? I checked the LG Open Source page and there's no sign of marshmallow for the T-Mobile variant or the Metro PCS variant, so thats also got me scratching my head a bit. Any thoughts?

I know is weird i have the t-mobile version and didnt get the update yet i double check via lg bridge on pc and it said my phone is update but im still on 5.1.1 lollipop. And some ppl on threads said they have been updated but no kdz files uploaded this is cracking me up.

6.0 update
I have spoken with metro tech support and they have repeatedly told me that they are waiting for T mobile to release the metro varient firmware they have said we r going to get it

Pretty simple just follow these steps from DrakenFX return2stock
Instead grabbing files for MetroPCS you grab the T-Mobile one.

I tried this last night, it did install the tmobile firmware without a problem, and it also installed a 146 meg update, but thats all it gave me, did not detect or install MM, i tried LG Bridge and what it did was detect my phone as a Metropcs version and wanted to download and install the metro Firmware.
Maybe i did something wrong who knows, lol..
keep me updated..
Louie

So let me get this straight. I have to Root my phone, via whatever method works, and then follow the instructions on that link to flash tmobile stock rom, then grab the OTA?

Cant I root and then use a program like....idk titanium back up or Rom Toolbox to flash that rom?

You can't take an OTA if your phone is already rooted. If you had not rooted, you would have had a working MM on your phone and THEN you can root after.

Followed the steps you did (at least from what you've given us.)
I downloaded an update.zip from the tmobile marshmallow update, transferred it to data/fota and ran the software installer but nothing shows up. keeps reading my system is up to date (Im using a metropcs device like you & running a tmobile stock rom as well.)

I encountered the same problem with my LG F600L when I was trying up upgrade from MM to Nougat. But before you start did you check the Anti-rollback version first if you are in V0 then you should be good to go. What I did to revive my phone was I use Uppercut. To do this, look and download for Uppercut get it here Uppercut. Once you have downloaded Uppercut close LGUP. Just pull the battery of your phone and re-insert it will boot to download mode automatically, plug it in now DO NOT launch LGUP click Uppercut as this will call LGUP to open automatically then select refurbish and select your KDZ then click start. Tell if this works for you. By the way, make sure to turn off your antivirus as this will detect Uppercut as false positive and it will not run.

Restore v20 to 100% Stock (!!even for bricked devices!!)

This is a simple method to restore your v20 to stock, I have tried with my bricked H990DS with wrong bootloader flashed.
1. Download .kdz file for your v20 model from the following links. Currently v20 models available are:
F800K, F800L, F800S, H915, H918TN, H990, VS995, H990N and H990DS
H990DS https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h990ds-firmwares/firmwares/
H990N https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h990n-firmwares/firmwares/
https://lg-firmwares.com/
2. Search, download and install LGUP ( LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3.msi ) and a file called LGUP_common.dll
2a. Copy the LGUP_common.dll to C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\common (May need to modify folder access right)
3. Search, download and install LG Driver ( LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.1.1.exe )
4. Completely Power off the v20 ( or to remove and put the battery back )
5. Plug the USB end of sync cable to your PC
6. Press and hold "Volume Up"
7. Plug in the USB-C end of sync cable to the v20. The phone will enter download mode (or Firmware Update). Now you can release the "Volume Up".
8. Run LGUP. The program will regconise the v20.
9. At the file path, click "..." and chose the .kdz file
10.Choose "UPGRADE"
11.Click "Start" and wait until the process is complete.
Now we have a safe method of restoring bricked v20. Hope developers can start trying to root without worrying of bricking the phone.
This method is verified on my H990DS. If anybody successfully flash using this method please let us know. Thanks!

Great thread! Just want to add a quick PSA for this:
This may update your phone to the latest firmware which may patchs the current recowvery exploit. While this will unbrick your phone, you should make sure that you have the a firmware below 10i (w/o patch) to flash. If you still have access to TWRP and don't have a 10d firmware for your device, use this instead.

This will update your phone to the latest firmware, 10i (your phone came with 10d). The latest firmware patches the current recowvery exploit we use to root our V20s.

Thanks for the reminder. Actually it depends on what .kdz is available. For H990DS there is actually v10b firmware for download. So after I flash using this method the dirtycow exploit is still there. Take a look at the filename of the .kdz (e.g. 990ds10b_00_OPEN_TW_DS_OP_1125.kdz is v10b released at Nov 25) Seems that versions below v10i are still ok for dirtycow.

Ahh! Nice! Hadn't considered that. I'll update my OP

Darn. Got my hopes up. No VS995 in the list. No T-Mobile and no Sprint either. I don't need it....yet...but I would love to have a restore method for my VS995. Though I've had an LG G3 rooted and flashing custom roms, kernels, and mods for 30 months and never once restored it to stock so perhaps the V20 will be the same

are you using uppercut for the model .dll in LGUP?
i have tried this method a few times over the last week, no luck. but i was pretty rough with my phone to be honest, no backup and tried all the other v20 variant roms.
right now LGUP detects my phone as a US99610D so will not flash the H990DS firmware, tried to edit the kdz in hex editor for name value but it detects the kdz as corrupt now. any experience with this?

I did not use uppercut because anti-virus reported it detect trojan when I use the program.

so you found a v20 dll file? do you mind posting a link? or how did you get past LGUP picking up v20 as unknown device? or was this not an issue for you?

The LGUP first did not detect the device and asked for driver. So I installed the driver as mentioned in OP. After that i was able to flash the phone with the kdz file.

What do you mean?
If this method worked for you & a few other users, it should probably become a sticky rather than closing the thread...
Unbricking a device & restoring to 100% stock is an important feature to most, so if a few users are having issues we should probably help sort out those issues rather than abandoning the thread...

don't close it off, if it worked for you it should work for others that haven't broken the phone quite as much as me (boot, recovery, aboot and system changed).
the dll looks to be a requirement, perhaps uppercut worked for you prior to you AV killing it. i used it despite the AV alert.
so that part works fine, my phone is detected as version US99610d (files used during root attempt) which prevents me running the KDZ with "Error: KDZ file is invalid. US996 -> H990"
i tried to edit KDZ file to change version from H990 to US996 but this just corrupted the file.
i edited the model in build.prop of a rom and flashed it but it failed to make a difference to LGUP.
in a last ditch effort i restored aboot.img but phone is still detected as 996 instead of 990. but now no more twrp or unlocked bootloader.
any idea what LGUP reads the version info from or how to force it to run a KDZ from a different model?
