Ok. Which D801 partitions did you flash exactly when it was glitchy? And have you tried to flash a d801 tot or kdz?
A d801 kdz might flash without the hexediting workarounds. If you want to give that a shot go HERE and try the D80120E kdz which is KitKat. Instead of LG Flash Tools, instead use the 2014 KDZ flash tool found HERE. Be sure to select the "CSE" flash method within that tool to get a clean install.
If that fails, we can try to hexedit the D801 tot instead. But the newest tot we have for the D801 was at near release back in late 2013 so it's early JB. Not a deal breaker but I think the kdz option is worth a shot if you want to go the D801 route anyway.
tried same method .... dont even start the flashing ... i think model issue ..
do give me tot link i will try ....
what if m not able enter download mode after flashing laf aboot boot of d301 , rather it gives fastboot .. ?
means that i dont have d801 .. ?
I believe the D801 tot is 32 GB but it's laf is indeed smaller than the other variants. So evidently, your phone is not a D801.i think tot was for 16 gb ...
its giving laf error ("fboot check fail " that is laf size is small , seen in log of lg flash tool)
I believe the D801 tot is 32 GB but it's laf is indeed smaller than the other variants. So evidently, your phone is not a D801.
So just to get this all straight, you have now tried installing firmware for the D800, D801 and D802 correct? And none of them have resulted in a fully functioning phone is that right?
Or did you ever actually flash the D800 tot with the alternative LGUP dll I posted earlier?
TL;DR
The full story - all credit for tools and files to many dedicated devs over at xda and here on androidforums
- HK is certainly selling D800 G2 hardware as D802. They seem to be simply a D802 system.img installed over a stock D800 with a swapped back panel. (My experience is with LG-D800 from HK, but the same could be done with any other hardware as the base in any other country I suppose)
- Check the version of Stock Recovery (during ioroot). It probably corresponds to your hardware and you should be using that model tools, kdz, TOT for recovery, reinstall, upgrades or whatever.
- Treating these in any way as a D802 will lead to failure, but whether from fastboot, download mode or standard recovery they CAN most likely be recovered using tools and files readily available.
Now have back what appears to be Stock G2 LG-D802 running D80220c. Doesn't have the same LTE bands as a real D802, and cannot take OTA updates, but it's like new again.
- Purchased a 32GB HK LG-D802 KK 4.4.2 (D80220b), iorooted it to take an Online Nandroid Backup and then upgraded it using the LG Update Centre App (D80220c). The LG csmg site identified the phone from its IMEI as a HK D802 (AHKGWH LGD802).
- Noted during the ioroot process that the stock recovery was using KOT49I.D80020k test keys - should have been a warning
- After update and reboot IMEI was blank, Baseband version was blank, SIM was locked out (No Service) and the digitizer/touch couldn't be used.
- It was NOT a lost EFS problem. I had those files, and restoring them did not help. Reloading D802 kdz or TOT did not help.
- Installed a D800 baseband (modem.img) and IMEI returned, as did SIM access.
- Installed D80020c TOT (patched so it would load on a 'D802' and used generic dll), iorooted and phone was like new - just in ATT colors. Upgraded to D80020k using xaueious' excellent guide and after installing AutoRec (D800) TWRPed on a D80220c system.img. Did a factory reset just to be sure.
Hope this helps someone, as there seem to be more of these franken-phone G2s causing problems.
