friends help! after switching to lollipop through lg flashtool 2014, my imei changed to 0. How do I write imei back? Even * # 06 # does not show anything in dialer
p.s .: I tried to restore it with the "lg mobile support tool" , but it gives an error "low battery charge" even if 100%
would you mind telling me how do you flash using flashtool 2014?
I try to downgrade from lollipop to KK, but when i try to run flashtool, it tells me
PLEASE install CSMG B2C Client Tool
as if it cannot connect to my phone, download mode seems not working.
to answer you, I used to have your problem, and I paid somebody to write any IMEI to my phone, i dont know how they do it, but took them a few min. Hope it's any help

It seems like today only LGUP works - that's what I've done.
So download and install LGUP and LGUP_8974_DLL_Ver_0_5.MSI
Without that second file, LGUP will say yur device is unknown, and cannot proceed.

Hello
A brief timeline of events leading to this thread:
1. I purchased a G-Flex2 H950 from Ebay for $250 and was supposed to be upgrading from a Galaxy S4-I337.
2. Received my device yesterday and set out to update to 5.1.1 & root the device to remove bloatware.
3. I was able to update to 5.1.1 V11x using my StraightTalk sim on AT&T network.
4. After many frustrating hours of trying to root using different methods, I finally was able to root using the technique mentioned in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/development/root-easy-root-att-flex-2-5-1-1-t3178354
5. A nice complement to point "4" above was the firmware update to 5.1.1 V11z.
6. Extremely happy that I was ready to rock, I set out to delete all the bloatware from my device.
7. First surprise obviously was the inability to remove a bunch of AT&T apps because "APK could not found" error.
8. Like the idiot that I am, I went ahead and deleted the "rootsystem.img" from the internal memory (unnecessarily, blame my OCD!).
9. Now after I finished de-bloating the device (or so I thought), I rebooted it and to my horror... I see the error message:
LG Security Error
Authentication Fail #9
10. I attempted to get to the recovery mode and deleted/erased all data & settings. No dice!
11. I'm still able to get to the download mode using the Volume-Up & USB connect method (& this is why I'm cursing myself at point "8" because I could have re-used the easy root method again to flash the img file).
12. I tried to use the "LG Mobile Support Tool", it recognizes the device correctly as "LGH950" but says V11z is the latest software update.
My question to experts: How SOL am I? I don't think LG would honor my warranty since the purchase is NOT from a authorized dealer/reseller. So no chance of warranty repair/replacement, no?
I looked everywhere (for close to 10 hours) for KDZ & TOT files to even attempt something. But I couldn't find anything for H950. Man, I hate AT&T so much now... Why couldn't they just leave the bootloader unlocked? Or LG (AT&T?)even provide the necessary files to start off with?
Could someone with more knowledge please offer any help? Meanwhile, I've pretty much resigned to be joining the queue full of others with bricked H950's...
From what I've heard LG goes by the S/N and date of manufacturing just like Lenovo for warranty. You can just ask their customer service if the warranty is active for your phone.
As for recovering it all you would've needed to do was use the tool as you stated. I have commented many times explaining people should only disable/freeze bloat and not *delete* anything (there are some crucial system apps, editing build prop seems to cause loops for me for ex.). There was another member in this situation if I remember correctly.
In case you can't go the warranty route ask Sj if he has found a way to push files while the phone is in DL mode.

Hi i have the same problem, I rename many apps in system folder of my ls996 zv8 and now the phone no boot and only show "LG Security Error"
I tried to rename the files in download mode but system partition is mounted as read only, and also fails when attempting to mount this in rw.
In 5.1.1 the download mode remove the option to read files from sd card.
I tried to mount the sd card, but I had no luck.
The sd-card is located in /sys/block/mmcblk1

Hey man, thanks for the suggestion, but tried that too. Did not get an option to download the kdz when I entered IMEI. Here's the screenshot I get.
hi sorry to bump in
but i made the huge mistake in renaming system apps, so now bootloop and same security error condition with a ls996 zv6,
1.- i know that don't even think to try to downgrade from zv6 to zv5 tot= Brick.
2.- is there a way to push, copy (aroma file manager, twrp file manager), in normal or stock recovery?
3.- is there a way to flash rootedsystem.img zv6 to the phone in: recovery, fastboot or even the command:
Step 11 flash commands:
For LS996 (ZV6/ZV7/ZV8)
Code:
dd if=/data/media/0/rootedsystem.img bs=8192 seek=58368 count=522240 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0, from another source, rather than from internal sd, because obviously i didn't copied to the device previously?
4.- already tried to flash from stock recovery, the ZV6 Update= update.zip but it gives an error to load because some system app not valid, i remember
please, if someone could help me and us with this problem
thank you very much indeed

Only solution is to send it back to LG.
There is no way (yet) to flash with dd command from external SD.
and there is no other tot besides ZV5 and as you said thats a Hard brick.

Well I wouldnt trust this.
But if this only flashes the system partition well it shouldnt be harmful. You could download the zv6 stock sys.img and flash it afterwards so you can ota update your phone to zv9 and then root again.
But like I said I wouldnt suggest that...

Hi everyone.
I really need your help. I've been searching for days now and i can't find any solution.
I've bought Z3 (D6603) on Amazon. Before buying, i checked if it was compatible with my country's LTE bands and it was.
The first time i turn it one it was in Chinese ... or something like that.
3g and 4g are not working at all. Already check with my carrier and the settings are fine.
*#*#SERVICE#*#* shows that i DON't Have the band i need. (BC 4)
It seams to be modified by factory...
I also flashed several roms using flash tools. Nothing...
Another strange thing is that i can't unlock the bootloader (following sony's official page).
Also when i try to reset from Xperia Companion i get a message saying that my phone cannot be identified. Same thing using Emma.
PLEASE! any one can help me?
Let's try and identify the phone model etc.
Go to Settings, About phone (at bottom) and give all the info from there / if possible post screen shots.
As much info on the phone as possible would be good. Just don't post the IMEI number or show it here.
Stuff like build number / baseband version and all that technical stuff will be really useful.
The Chinese on start up makes it seem it's either fake or has the Chinese firmware on it and I don't think they use D6603 in China. Not being identified by Sony tools is another red flag.
Can you not send it back for a refund as it is clearly not in functioning order? Amazon should refund you if the seller has "disappeared"....

Okay doesn't look too bad. You're on the original firmware, not the updated version which is Android 6.0.1. You are on 4.4.4.
I would say best bet is to download the Argentina (that's your country so I suggest this) or Generic Global firmware and flash it with flashtool.
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
Install it and then go to it's install location on your PC and find the drivers .exe and install the flashmode, fastboot and Xperia Z3 drivers. It might not install them all. If you get errors installing drivers you need to disable driver signature verification on the PC so Google how to do it if you don't know how. It is very easy. Then you will be able to install the drivers so it can actually flash the firmware.
With that tool there will be an option in the form of a black circle with XF on it. That is XpiriFirm. Use that to find and download the latest FTF (firmware file) for the D6603. It should end with .291
Follow the instructions on flashtool to flash it. Options will show up asking what parts of the ftf you want to include and exclude. All you need to do here is make sure to EXCLUDE anything that ends in .TA
Please do that as it might brick the phone if not excluded (you won't miss it it is very obvious.)
And it might be a good idea to wipe the data so tick the boxes for wipe so you have a completely clean phone.
Flashtool should then ask you to turn off the phone and hold the vol down button to install the firmware in flashmode.
Let it complete and then it will tell you to turn the phone on.
If there are errors then there might be a problem with the phone. If there is then contact Amazon directly and the seller and explain the situation. With some luck they might help you.

Already done that.... 5 times (5 different firmware). Still the same.. but with android 6.0.1.
I found 1 more thing that may be a clue: When you hard reset the phone or install a new firmware (same thing..i know) when the system show the welcome Sony's screen and the settings wizard, there is a small toast message that shows "Flash restore service starting: please wait for the Power off button" (not the exact message). After several times a black screen with a Power Off button appears and you can't do anything until you press it. After that the phone restart and it's normal again.
When flashing with the flash tool in the MA TA section you can see AUTO_BOOT and OSV-RESTRICTION. When you try to flash any rom, a warning message appears: "AUTO_BOOT and OSV-RESTRICTION not found in the script, continue?" (not the exact message).
Already ask for the refund.. but it cost me something like 150 U$S... also, i don't have the original box ... so it's going to be really difficult to return the product. I'm sure it's a software problem..
Thanks again for your help!!!

Okay good luck. Seems a bit messed up to me :/
Those ta sections are ignored when flashing, you do not need them.
Another solution:
Flash a 575 firmware and root your phone. Then try one of the available custom roms. There also is a solution to enable missing bands, but this is a little bit more difficult.

Thanks i'll give it a try. Although i tried to root it with no luck.
:crying:
My issue is quite complicated. Please be patient and read on.
Less than a week ago, I bought an LG G3 D855. It wasn't brand new and definitely out of warranty.
It was on the 4.4.2 Os version but I couldn't update it because I couldn't locate the UPDATE CENTER and after some research online, I found out it was because it was rooted. I couldn't find a Supersu application anywhere on the phone anyways but Root checker confirmed that it was rooted.
I downloaded the stock kitkat firmware in a .tot format and I tried flashing using LG Flash Tool for TOT but it failed because "Device version is different"
I checked the Imei online and it stated that the device is a Sprint LS990 but the details embedded in the phone all say it is D855
I checked online and found a couple of posts about this error and one user said he was able to fix it by flashing the actual Sprint .tot with the lg flash tool. I tried that but it didn't work. It still said "Device version is different. Check BIN or dll"
I checked online and found results pointing to a generic .dll file for G3s and I downloaded it but when I used it on the Flash tool, it resulted to an error "CrossDL blah blah"
So I found a Marshmallow kdz file. LGUP won't see my device model so I was able to flash it after editting the software in my build.prop to D85510n.
***I have always changed the port to COM41 in all the steps I used
The LG UP detected my model and it flashed to 100% but got stuck on a bootloop by loading the lg screen, freezing and restarting by it self. It never gets to the homescreen.
I downloaded lollipop kdz reflashed using LGUP in a form of downgrade and it got to 100% and got stuck at the lg screen while trying to reboot.
I redownloaded the stock kitkat rom and used the Lg flash tool but it failed. It said 'PID null IMEI Null"
I used LGUP to reflashed. It came to my understanding that the LGUP can flash both kdz and tot. So it flashed to 100% but got stuck at the lg screen and I have tried all I can but it is stuck. It can go into download tho. I don't know what to do about the IMEI. I don't know if the last flash retrieved it. I don't kniw what to do.
It no longer shows as LGE AndroidNet USB Serial
Please can anyone help me?
I just need my phone to work again. I was stubborn and now I regret it. I should have just stuck to kitkat. I'm so desperate to get my phone working that I wouldn't mind Android Froyo Os if it was ever possible.
PLEASE HELP!!!
I also had some what same problem with my old lg device ... Here's what you can do:-
Download any custom rom of your lg g3 Like Cyanogenmod and flash it via recovery.
Recovery can be stock or custom it doesn't matter.
Remember to wipe dalvik cache and wipe data before flashing the ROM. I did it and my device was working fine.
Remember that first boot
always takes 2-3 mins so be patient.

I downloaded the stock kitkat firmware in a .tot format and I tried flashing using LG Flash Tool for TOT but it failed because "Device version is different"
I checked the Imei online and it stated that the device is a Sprint LS990 but the details embedded in the phone all say it is D855
I checked online and found a couple of posts about this error and one user said he was able to fix it by flashing the actual Sprint .tot with the lg flash tool. I tried that but it didn't work. It still said "Device version is different. Check BIN or dll"
I checked online and found results pointing to a generic .dll file for G3s and I downloaded it but when I used it on the Flash tool, it resulted to an error "CrossDL blah blah"
So I found a Marshmallow kdz file. LGUP won't see my device model so I was able to flash it after editting the software in my build.prop to D85510n.
***I have always changed the port to COM41 in all the steps I used
The LG UP detected my model and it flashed to 100% but got stuck on a bootloop by loading the lg screen, freezing and restarting by it self. It never gets to the homescreen.
I downloaded lollipop kdz reflashed using LGUP in a form of downgrade and it got to 100% and got stuck at the lg screen while trying to reboot.
I redownloaded the stock kitkat rom and used the Lg flash tool but it failed. It said 'PID null IMEI Null"
I used LGUP to reflashed. It came to my understanding that the LGUP can flash both kdz and tot. So it flashed to 100% but got stuck at the lg screen and I have tried all I can but it is stuck. It can go into download tho. I don't know what to do about the IMEI. I don't know if the last flash retrieved it. I don't kniw what to do.
It no longer shows as LGE AndroidNet USB Serial
Please can anyone help me?
I just need my phone to work again. I was stubborn and now I regret it. I should have just stuck to kitkat. I'm so desperate to get my phone working that I wouldn't mind Android Froyo Os if it was ever possible.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Salam Everyone!
Today i'm going to post About Lg V10 model which says it is of T-mobile (from boot animation) but when you remove battery it show Model H901 (Made in korea) So it is huge confusion between users of this phone. Let me clear this one first, your phone consist of board same as LG v10 Model F600s so if your lg Bridge shows an update of something like "F600S30D 05.27.2017" dont worry it is saying this according to board requirement (Warning: Never update your phone using LG Bridge otherwise you are going to brick your phone). LGup is best for updating LG firmware’s.
Now let’s come to the point on how to update this model to Marshmallow and Nougat. And one thing Do this step by step as described in steps below (one thing i'm not a developer i just do little internet research and with help of some friends i was able to do it without bricking my device).
This you need is for update is Kdz for Marshmallow and Nougat and LG up Software.
Installing and fixing LGup ‘unkown model’ problem:
I've seen some people complaining about lgup not picking up this model so here is a fix you can do it to make it work:
Download LG up software using all the links given below:
Now do it as I say.
- Install LG UP LAB Ver. 1.10
- Install LG UP Store Ver. 1.14
- Install LG UP Ver. 1.14
- Now most important is this file LGUP_8994_DLL_Ver_0_0_3_23
(Now here is a Check whether your LGup is installed properly or not scroll through follow the following address and check is there “Common” folder have File “LGUP_Common.dll” If not please try this process again.
Address: C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\Common
And after you are done with installing LGup now time to check if this is working remove back cover of your phone (unplug your phone from USB cable, remove the battery, insert battery while pressing the Volume up button and now plug the USB cable. Your phone will turn on automatically with Download Mode on and yes LGup will recognize your phone immediately without any further delay. Showing Model as “H901”
How to check Phone model using Lg info app:
There is one little check you have to do is… go on play store and download Lg info app install it and check your phone info.
Scroll down and See “Provider Name”: (Now here we will see the exact model number of your phone)
- If it shows SK Telecom This means your phone model is LG F600S aka LG V10.
- If LGT this means your phone model is LG F600L aka LG V10.
- If KTF this means your phone model is LG F600K aka LG V10.
Now after Confirming Model Number Now download the relevant firmware but keep one thing in mind do it step by step don’t try to flash direct Nougat on Lollipop okay this will brick your phone as well.
Updating Marshmallow from Lollipop (6.0 from 5.1.1Stock):
As assumed you have downloaded your concerned firmware (you can do a little search on Google and you will find relevant kdz if you need further just p.m me)
- As I have LG F600S aka LG V10 so I will tell you what steps I used.
- First download F600S20l_00_0503.kdz
Now same take your phone in download mode and let LGup recognize it now Select it under BIN File and (Check the Upgrade option) now press start and It will start upgrading. Leave it for a while and let it complete. Now your phone will turn on without any brick V10 will download some OTA software updates (as it happened in my case). Check your software Update it will surely say 6.0
Updating Nougat from Marshmallow (7.0 update):
Download the latest firmware from LG firmware website that says “ 7.x Nougat” in my case it was “F600L30e_00_0517.kdz” (Model F600s)
Do the same as you did while updating to Marshmallow. It will successfully update your phone to latest version. No further complications are there in this step it is so simple.
Some Warnings:
- If you are going to use my technique to update please do it carefully do not skip anything.
- I’m not responsible for any kind of brick phones SD cards. As I said I’m not a developer I’m just like you guys was looking for update my phone and done it will little research and help.
- Do not unplug your phone while LGup is updating your phone.
- I’m not developed any software or any update so it is all online stuff nothing personal: D
- And I’m here to help other please feel free to ask anything form me I’ll try to help as soon as possible
You can message me on Whatsap I’ll create a group for help on whatsap as well.

@hapyfaroq as you mentioned, you have flashed Marshmallow F600S20l_00_0503.kdz !!! and for Nougat you flashed F600L30e_00_0517.kdz !!! which are totally different models. could you please recheck if you typed F600L30e_00_0517.kdz istead of F600S30D_00_0510.kdz

Everything is double checked and then posted so no mistake in the article
Mine is KTF but now running fine on F600L Nougat (and the pcb says it's F600L), not sure what's really happen here. It was H901 Tmo before got bricked.
Thanks @hapyfaroq @runningnak3d for your time & help
Failed several times and gave up with LG UP. So i took my phone to a mobile service center who is good at software flashing. i gave him nougat kdz F600S30D. He converted kdz to dz format and flashed with Octoplus box. my mobile was on 5.1.1 android and directly flashed Nougat. Booted flawlessly and no network problems as well Everything is working just awesome. attached my video of Nougat Overview

Hey what if I have a T-Mobile H901 with VS990 motherboard in it? By the sound of things, I would need to flash vs990's kdz. However, wouldn't Tmobile's h901 kdz work as well? I don't understand how your modem and boot screen img(tmobile) wouldn't be affected by flashing f600 kdz to tmobile phone.

bro as i explained in detail that flashing H901 kdz on phone having different board in it cause it a brick so better to flash such kdz which is compatible with the board.... Be careful double check with your board model. (this is the most important part) Keep that in mind that if you are going to flash some other kdz it will not work and will brick your phone.
i have everything ready but lgup never found the phone as a MODEL.keep saying "unknown model".
i ve checked lg bridge it founds 2 updates (im on 5.1.1) , lgbridge founds both 6 and 7 updates.
i've downloaded the kdz file according to the bridge and and phone provider(tmobile)
but i don't know if i can flash it with LG flashtool besides LGUP.
Because i can not pass "unknown model" issue.

Read the Article carefully it says never update your phone using LG Bridge it will brick your phone, and for kdz please search lg firmware on google and download the relevant kdz as per the model of your Phone's board. Don't waste your time downloading wrong kdz and lg up is hard to setup... keep on searching you will sure find a fix soon. Do a deep google search (as i did) you will figure out what is the problem behind Lg UP
Wassalam Farooq
The issue is that my LG info says its : T-Mobile H901BK
It's on 5.1.1
I have the correct KDZ for Tmobile.
Using a win 10 64 bit OS.
Deep uninstalled all LG soft and drivers
then followed your advises step by step
but still "unknown model"
I need to make first LGup to let find the phone.

I wanted to know if it is a software failure or any thing related to hardware? one thing more phone is turning on and there is no issue with network, wifi, camera even I can use any app on it but very slowly.

Bro first of all you need to confirm your phone board model using Lg info app ... you can find it on playstore for free and for lg up do all as i said above then turn off your phone remove the battery... plug in the usb cable... now install the battery while pressing volume up button it (make sure you lg up software is running) then your phone will directly go into download mode and Lg up will sure recognize your phone model but first of all confirm your phone's board model.
