[GUIDE] Unbrick F240 by turning it to E980

My Optimus G Pro F240L was somehow soft bricked for a month after trying to install a version of CM11. I have tried to download many dfferent F240L .TOT files to get it back to life on Baidu, all files were corrupted, at least for me, and i had the low battery warning when trying to flash official .KDZ .
Then I have tried the tutorial on this thread with AT&T .TOT file for E980, thanks to madmack :

Don't use the DLL which is there, instead if you have F240L use the one on this thread, thanks to chimmot307:

same issue
I have LG Optimus GPro F240L too, I tried to flash CM11 ROM but it was brick, the same like you. But I flash TOT file back OK. Now i can root and install CWM through FreeGee, but when flash CM base ROM it doesn't boot, only stock base ROM work. Someone tell my why please !

Well in fact I have tried AICP here, and it works pretty well and very fast.
Install it through Freegee and TWRP. However, I get signal, but whenever I try to make a call, the phone reboots. If I try to install the baseband, the phone gets bricked.
Otherwise a search on google for F240L CM11 gives many results, even on XDA. I didn't have time to try yet. But on E980 official ROM, Antutu has a score of 22500 which is far better than my 19600 with official F240.

I have a F240L works with CM11 perfectly.
Only issue i noticed whichever ROM i use i never get SimToolKit(STK) to work even in stock korean ROMs.
I moved to RadeonMAYA ROM as it has the best battery life as compared to the G2 V5 ROM and CM11.
As for the rebooting during phone calls just install ALSA drivers using the guide here on this general section and it will work.
Though you'll have reenable it evertime on Reboots which is a PITA.

Did you have weather effect at lockscreen my friend?

Thanks, I will try alsa drivers. Yesterday I have tried a PACMAN rom downloaded here, and it works wonderful without doing anything. Calls, data network, wifi have no problem at all.
Slimkat 4.4.2 is also there. Not tried yet.

how about the internal storage? 16gb or 32gb?

Ive got the same problem with the battery warning, but ive got a e986. But i think it should work too?

You get 32gb using this method

do you know if its a problem when i flash this on 16gb model an flash another rom after the phone is unbricked?

Low battery warning will be gone for sure. Though I'm not sure about the dll, maybe get one for e986.
You can flash on a 16gb no problem.

I am new and have a question. I have followed all the steps to the tee for unbricking my F240L and turning into a E980, except using king root to root the phone. After rebooting everything has worked perfectly except I can only get 4G speed and cannot get 4G LTE on t-mobile which is available in my area? It is on 4.1.2 and I have also correctly loaded all the APN codes for t-mobile. Maybe it is not possible to get 4G LTE after converting the F240L into a E980? I am open to any suggestions.

Do you know where i can get F240 TOT file?

I'm trying this on my comming F240. And luckily make it a E980, thanks!

I guess you now have to flash official F240L .KDZ as it will work flawlessly and hope you get 4G LTE (I think it is the same as 4G, I may be wrong)

I do not know myself as it is difficult to download from Baidu websites, just use the E980 .TOT file with the guide and uou will be fine. After that you can flash any .KDZ

I need help installing kitkat

Hey,I have a f180l converted to e975 and I have a problem. Some days ago I wanted to install kk on my device,but I followed a guide for f180x models(I was on e975) and I think I have installed a f180l patch (http://i62.tinypic.com/118psb8.jpg here you can see the files). As we know that on f180x models is easy to install kitkat I wanted to install a kdz for 180 to get back to stock and to install kitkat,but,using the R&D test tool,it was written that I have the latest version of android already installed (but at that moment my phone was e975) so I can;t even get back to f180l. Is it possible to fix this problem? I want so much kitkat that I am ready to go back to f180l) SHould I install another modem or what?
I hope my english isn't that bad)

No there isnt unless you downgrade to KitKat
But it seems i cant find any KitKat firmwares for the F400L online

f400
In as much as the g3 is a GREAT "looking" fone with "some" great aspects.
after going thru the issues i have met with my korean version, LG has created A DISASTER
there are more than 12 dif. versions none is even close to the other.
the korean versions are ORPHANS they have download and recovery entries issues no developers
ONLY the d855 seems to have a bit of a base.
my advise look for a kitkat KDZ file or TOT and load them via download root it with towel root and don't ever think about
doing anything else.
this is my first and last ever LG fone.
even the ONE+ has better developers than this crap.
google f400k 10a or 10e files and load them, root with towel root and be happy
the kdz 10a or 10e are available in some vietnamese boards
supposedly they have the 20e and 20h versions and after loading these under recovery
if you go back also under recovery and load a preset superuser 2.39 you're supposed to be able to root it
it never worked for me, once i set the lollipop, i have no way of getting into recovery mode and if i do both
under TWRP to fone craps
i personally am waiting for the ONE+ TWO and will give this one away, it's a LEMON.
good luck

At first download king root. Temporary root the phone with it then install autrec for your phone model and flash twrp. After that boot into twrp and flash super su.zip. finish.....you have to try multiple times with king root if you don't get it work first time.

Sorry bro than... you have to get temporary root at first then you will get permanent root..
Another option is downgrade to v30b kdz with lg up and gain root access then again flash rooted v30n firmware...

Baseband : MPSS.DI.2.0.1.C1.13.2-00002-M897AAAAANPZM-1
The V30N bumped zip contain the 21C modem. If you want, you can flash the V30B modem/baseband from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/radio-modem-lg-g3-t3110376

I`m not sure the V30B modem will work on the V30N bumped considering its not flashed by .KDZ .

I have already succesfully rooted the device with KingRoot after downgrading the SW to V30b. Thanks for help
