[Q] LG F180L - E975 convert problem

Hello,
sadly I can not install ROMs via the FlashTool.1.0.54, I think because the LG Mobile Support Tool (B2CAppSetup.exe) upgrades itself to the latest version..
So, I open the FlashTool after WindowsEnabler.exe (turned on), open the official Hungarian or European kdz file, set the settings (3GQCT, tried CS_EMERGENCY and EMERGENCY options too), then Normal Web Upgrade Test, Upgrade Start button, but then I see the newest LG Mobile Support Tool 1.7.1.0, not the modded version with "Clear phone registry" button, see the attached pic..
Please help what to try next, the phone upgraded the Android via the Support Tool to the latest F180L20t version..
Have to revert it back to original F180L20H_00 ROM first to make it E975?
Or could I try the CWM method or another recovery tool?

Everything is working now.
I have found a Hungarian forum with a method for KDZ installing (for LG G2) and worked:
http://prohardver.hu/tema/re_lg_g2_tapogatnivalo_hatso/index.html
(had to use another B2C program, rewrite the file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts with 127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com IP address to make it offline)
Was hard to found a good baseband too, this one is working for my F180L:
https://mega.co.nz/#!L54n3TjD!GF5xgTzYX1BslEzVMU9QHkQ6SKZsAOZIMEBtNR2udCw

Almost everything is working but the sensors (proxymity, gyro and such as)..
They are working for some minutes (sometimes less) then like they are turned off.. can be a ROM problem, or energy saving thing?
Still European (Hungarian) E975 ROM on F180L

With a sensor monitoring app it seems like sensors are working until something is loaded into the Android system (if the EFS partition needs time then that) and then just like sensors are turned off 30-50 seconds after phone restart..
If FreeGee EFS restoring is the problem, how to correct it?
Or this phone is bricked now?

EFS partition or baseband has the sensor informations?
Please send me F180L working basebands! :cyclops:

Sadly nobody replies, I will send back the phone to China tomorrow..
I like the phone, but I can not use it without the sensors..
Reverting back to original F180L ROM didn't help.
My advice: DO NOT convert F180L to E975, use the Korean software if you buy this phone!

It saddens me that no one has answered your thread.
My phone's sensors stopped working as well, after over 4 months of usage as e975 european version.
I've installed an app called GreenPower and my sensors died since.
Still looking for a fix, good luck!

I have the same problem, most of sensors work except for my gyro and accelerometer. I am beginning to think its a hardware issue but sometimes they work for a short amount of time. However I have found when I change the runtime from davlik to ART in the developers options, my sensors work for maybe an hour or so but then stop.

why you guys tried to convert?
There are diferences between models and you should never try such a thing. Battery may have different mAh, so the gauge can point wrong values, baseband between countries are different.... the best way to try to revert the craziness you made, is to put phone in download mode and use the upgrade recovery feature of LG Mobile tool. It will download the latest original version for your model and reflash it completely. If it doesn't work, your flash method touched files in partitions that the normal way wouldn't touch, and you will have to try to find what files were touched in what partitions. This is because the internal partition table may vary from model to model, the location and sizes can be different and so their mount points, so it can potentially brick the phone in a way that only LG can make it work again. Good luck!

You said that saddens you the fact that nobody answered this question. Of course nobody would, i think that maybe you are basically the only ones that tried a thing like that, so nobody else knows how to recover from this, you made a Frankenstein of your phone!

[Q] Problem is beyond me

Ok so i bought a phone from a guy on craigslist a couple months ago and everything was fine its a sprint lg g2 that was running a tmobile rom he said never had an issue with it.. today i was working on my motorcycle and i must have hit system update in my pocket :/ well i have been trying to fix this phone for about 8 hrs now and im not having much luck.. first i tried to flash a new rom but couldnt get the drivers to be recognized by any computer i tried.. so i resorted to the flash tool and thinking i had a sprint g2 i downloaded the stock sprint .tot and dll. files the flash tool thinks my phone is a d801at so i downloaded the appropriate files and flashed again and it worked flawlessly i thought now the phone just force shuts down and reboots and if you lock the screen it reboots i have tried flashing it again and again and also preforming a factory reset from the phone im lost and dont know what to do if you could lead me to water i will drink lol but im lost and dont even know where to begin please help as i need my phone

someone please help...

if the build.prop was edited to make it think it was a different phone other then the sprint lg g2, you would have to fix the build.prop then re use the flash tool and tot it back to sprint stuff. You may have to flash a zip in recovery (if you have custom recovery), to fix the build prop. Make sure you have the latest drivers installed on the computer and try different usb ports and cords as well if the drivers aren't installing.

You had a Rom called "Justin's Rom" on it. Many people had this issue. Take your SIM card out, go back to stock using the flash tool, root with auto rec, then flash cloudystock.it works for tmobile out of the box.

[Firmware](Upgrade+Root/Downgrade/Unroot) Files+Flashing Guide [TOT/KDZ/TWRP] 7/07/19

This is for LG G3 D851 ONLY
TOT/KDZ/TWRP Untouched stock restore​
IF YOU WANT TO USE THIS GUIDE WAIT UNTIL I HAVE THE LGUP METHOD UP
Who can benefit from this?
Anyone who softbricked with access to download mode [KDZ RECOMMENDED]
Anyone who wants to use the OTA function after root [TWRP RECOMMENDED]
Anyone who needs to send the phone in for repair [TOT RECOMMENDED]
Anyone who wants to be on the most recent firmware [TWRP RECOMMENDED]
Anyone who wants to downgrade *After you update to 20B it is recommended to not downgrade. If you do you WILL have connection problems
Anyone who wants to return to stock from aosp or aokp
Tip: Most of the time TWRP will do what you need without the troubles and baggage TOT and KDZ bring. It will downgrade, upgrade, root, fix soft bricks or just give you a fresh untouched operating system (no personal data left on the phone if you follow instructions). It will also get rid of any proof on the phone that you were rooted (my t-mobile reports root to a remote server nothing can be done about that).
Strengthens and weaknesses for each method click here
TWRP Files/flashing guide Most recent = D85130g_00_0420 (07/05/17)
(This is a WIP)
Download your preferred choice of D851xxx-Untouched_Stock_Restore.zip HERE (Perfect 1:1 image unlike most roms)
Also download and copy superSu & twrp to your external sd if you want root and custom recovery SUPERSU DOWNLOAD AND TWRP-2.8.6.0-d851.zip
Copy D851xxx-Untouched_Stock_Restore.zip to phone (external sd if available)
Reboot into twrp
For firmware update do not wipe! skip to step 8. If you want untouched stock continue with step 4.
If upgrading from kitkat to lollipop wipe system before flashing.
Click [Wipe]
Click [Advanced Wipe] (For full wipe stock restore only)
Select dalvik cache, system, Data, Internal storage (only if you use external for downloaded file) and cache
Click the home Icon in the bottom left
Click [Install]
Select D851xxx-Untouched_Stock_Restore.zip (make sure you select the proper sd card)
If you want root and/or twrp add UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.37.zip to the queue by touching [Add More Zips]
Repeat for TWRP-2.8.6.0-d851.zip
Swipe to install [====>]
Install will now begin, pure stock: system, kernel, recovery, modem and rpm will be installed
After completion click [wipe cache/dalvik] (do not skip especially if you dirty flashed)
Swipe to wipe [====>]
Click [back]
Click [reboot system] (it might say no os but it is wrong you do have a os click restart anyway) [dirty flash will not have that problem]
If your sending for repair or jump do a factory reset with what should now be the stock recovery just to be safe.
DO NOT INSTALL ROOT UNLESS YOU WANT IT TO BE ROOTED

Correct it also gives developers a chance to start making stock roms even though we don't have root or a recovery yet.

thanks for this OP.
now since TWRP was released for the t-mobile g3, soon enough this kdz package will be converted to a TWRP compatible flash package

TYVM, it worked like a charm.

Thanks for the guide ! Will definitely come in handy

Ok now I'm not sure if im reading this correctly but it says in OP to Download one of the KDZ files from the beginning of the post and extract it in the Flashtool folder from his thread, now when i got o his thread I only see the G2 files not the G3? someone maybe point me to the one i need for the D851?
EDIT: never mind im an idioto! disregard

what operating system are you on?

Great guide! Just what I was looking for. 2 questions though... Will this unroot your device? (I would presume untouched stock means that, but you know what happens when I presume. I make a pres of you and me). (I'm looking for a reliable to way to uproot, just in case I want to get an OTA). Also, could you link to the G3 drivers in the OP? This is gonna be my go to post if anyone asks me about it...

Worked for me on 8.1 so it should work for you. Install Microsoft c++ runtime 2012 or 2013 then try again. Also make sure you have the proper drivers installed. Ill upload both runtime and drivers when i get home so if you cant find them check back around 6 or 7.

Also make sure your running as administrator.

It will unroot you and it already saved my butt after I accidentaly formatted most of the partitions on the phone. I plan on uploading the unified lg drivers tonight along with c++ runtime. Im also going to hunt down a nice guide and link to it for flashing via the lg suite if this fails. The lg suite way is a pain in the a** but should work if this one fails.

UPDATE
1- I downloaded 2013 Runtime 2013 from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784
2- Rebooted my PC
3- Followed the instructions in OP, performing the CSE flash.
4- Received a timeout error really quick but it started to flash.
5- Around 80% the phone went black and never booted to the LG screen, after it hit 100% I unplugged it, removed the battery and rebooted it.
Booting up it entered some mode for a split second and rebooted itself.
Once on homescreen, it rebooted itself one last time.
I'm UnRooted now
I guess i needed to install C++ Runtime

complete guide to update to bone stock 10m

I think many users have hard time to update from 10c to 10m if the phone was rooted with Purpledrake (with TWRP).
After I have done some trial, I find out rather safe and easy way to update.
There is another method to go right to 10m by flashing with Zone ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/development/rom-zonerom-07-24-14-deodex-t2827304
However, if you would prefer bone stock right from LG, here is the instruction:
Prerequisites:
Download all required flash tool and stock 10c ROM from below (don't worry about drivers if you have PC Suite installed).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/general/firmware-t-mobile-lg-g3-t2818667
LG PC Suite installed.
Latest 7Zip installed.
Phone battery should be 80% or more (this will be a very long process).
A micro USB cable.
A Windows computer.
PHASE 1
1. Extract flash tool and ROM with 7zip and locate the unpacked ROM.
2. Turn off the phone and take the battery out and put it back in. Press and hold volume up button when plug in USB cable to enter download mode.
3. Run the flash tool and flash in regular mode (no wipe). You will see another window and leave everything intact.
4. The phone will be flashed. Don't worry, your data will be OK.
PHASE 2
1. After the phone has been flashed, you will lose root. DO NOT root again until phase 4.
2. Run LG PC Suite and wait until the phone is recognized.
3. Click backup/restore tab and backup EVERYTHING. The phone will reboot in backup mode and wait until the process finishes. The phone will reboot after backup has finished.
4. Disconnect the phone.
(Optional but recommended) Copy everything from internal storage to host computer.
PHASE 3
1. Repeat step 2 in phase 1.
2. Run the flash tool again, but this time you will use CSE instead and the phone will be fully wiped except data in memory card.
3. You have to do same procedure as a new phone. It's recommended to setup Wi-Fi because Google will do restore the applications, but this is not enough.
PHASE 4
1. After the Google restoration has finished, you can update the ROM over the air (OTA).
2. Connect the phone and run LG PC Suite again. This time you will restore everything and it will reboot after restoration has finished. Copy the data back to the internal storage if necessary.
3. After the restoration, you can root your phone with your favorite method.
If everything goes well, you should be able to have rooted 10m with all data intact.

i was rooted stock with manual method(forgot to completely unzip purple drake)...used lg flash tool to flash back to unrooted stock 10c, updated, and used the unzipped purple drake to re-root...all told it took me maybe an hour(that's counting the 45 minute download of the update since i was on a craptacular wifi connection)...also...purple drake claims to not trip the rct, but it does

After rooting with Purpledrake (w/o the custom boot), I wanted to test clearing the root flag.
Originally I used the LG Mobile Support tool to reset to Stock v10c. It did take a little while because it downloads the software. At the time, 10c was what
was available. With the OTA out now, I wonder if this wouldn't download 10m, install it fresh, and get you to 10m stock unrooted (and then run Purpledrake)?
Another method I tried that was quick and easy, was ThePagel's method (similar to LGG3root.com's method in using the flashtool):
[Firmware] (Back to original untouched stock) T-Mobile LG G3 D851 + Flashing Guide
Wouldn't the first be alternative method to take you straight to 10m stock. The second back to 10c, allow for the OTA, and then re-root?

I wondered the same initially, but isn't that a function of not selecting the install custom boot option?
By all means correct me if I'm off base on any of this - it's been awhile since I ran these!

phone process crash after flashing ROM

Hey,
I have the LG G3 D855.
Phone info > Hardware info says:
Model number LG-D855
16GB
Phone info > Software info says:
Android version 4.4.2
Baseband version MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c1.13-00009-M8974AAAAANPZM-1.01701338.5067.1
Kernel version 3.4.0
Build number KVT49L.A1412000029

According to IMEI, it's A6D2TN, it's vodafone germany I guess.
I don't have LTE option.
First, I tried the 3845#*855# option - I can get 4g but naturally it doesn't last.
So, I tried to delete the apk - I needed root for that so I rooted with purple drake lite (stump didn't work) and tried that - didn't work either, I had no LTE option.
I figured I'd flash another ROM with different software version and that'll be it so I installed the bump TWRP.
Next, after full TWRP backup, I tried to flash Last Firmware Stock (TWPR) << D855-10N>>.
The flash went fine but after the phone rebooted, I got a message that the phone process crashed. I couldn't get rid of it, even after pressing OK it keeps popping, another few reboots didn't help.
So, I tried AndroidNow HD 2.0.
Same result. Lucky I had the backup so I just reverted to it.
So, I guess I'm missing something that prevents me from installing ROMs...
Anyone has any idea?
I'd appreciate any leads/ideas/links/whatever...

Same is happening to me. Problem is that now i can't restore my original backup,only my latest one , when i Connect my Phone via USB to use LG PC suite i don't have that option on the Phone, only MTP etc, and using my IMEI in LG firmware site there is no stock ROM available. So i'm stuck with L firmware.

Is yours V10l-262-02 too?

Attached are screenshots of the software and hardware screens...
I hope someone here can help.

Small update:
I managed to get 4G LTE working.
I edited /system/build.prop. Here's what I did:
*** Note - it worked for me, I take no responsibility if you brick/bootloop your device!! ***
*** Note 2 - You need root to accomplish this ***
Copy the original build.prop file to a safe location (say the external SD card)
Upload the original build.prop to your computer. I used Dropbox to sync it. Fast and simple.
On your computer, make a duplicate of the original file, just to be on the safe side.
Now, edit the original file. I used Notepad++. Find the line ro.telephony.default_network. On my file, this line was in comment, so if it is in yours, first remove the '#' at the beginning of the line. Then, change the value to 12. The default on mine was 9.
Save the file. Dropbox will sync it again.
Download the edited file from Dropbox and put it in your /system folder to replace the original. Use whatever file manager you like that has root privileges.
make sure the build.prop file has permissions 644 ( or rw-r--r--).
Check if now you have the LTE option in the mobile networks menu.
If you don't - try putting in a value of 11 or 13 instead of 12.
I still can't flash custom ROM, but since I wanted to flash in order to get 4G LTE in the first place, I'm fine with it.
Curious why I can't flash, but fine with it
Hope it helps someone...
And if someone has input on the issue of flashing a custom ROM - I'd be very happy to hear about it!

Anyone encountered and flash trouble like mine with the phone process crashing?

Factory reset and all is fine. Or full wipe prior to flashing.
