I screwed up on my f240

I screwed up my f240 signal. What I did was I flashed a E988 stock rom on it and since it was not working well (including not having a signal) I flashed back to f240 stock rom. Now totally no signal. I flashed the baseband f240s several times but still no luck.
Now im running stock f240s with no signal
Did I just bricked my phone?

anyone please?

[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 :

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

Which is my phone? E980, E988 or F240L

I have done stupid things in my life, but this may top them.
I purchased an used AT&T Optimus G Pro (E980) few days ago. I bought it unlocked and was using it on T-Mobile network without any problem. I live around the area where I get LTE. AND I was getting LTE. I was successful in rooting it and was in the process of installing a custom recovery when I softbricked. No problem, right?
1. I first tried to use (TOT) found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2420219 to get back to E980 stock. I could not get past 25% no matter what.
2. I then used (KDZ) to install F240L firmware. Dumb. I know, but at the time I did not know better.
3. I then used (KDZ) again to install E988. I had signal but only 2G speed.
4. I then used (TOT) to flash E980 stock. Great, but no signal. I tried various stuffs to get the signal working. I flashed all AT&T modems found. I tried installing different custom ROMs. I tried using dial pad method. I tried modifying bulidprop, but nothing is working.
5. I have also tried flashing Taiwan KDZ, Hong Kong KDZ, Central America KDZ, Panama KDZ, and German KDZ. I also tried 3 different AT&T TOT files. I can get signal on Taiwan & Hong Kong KDZ, but no signals on others.
6. I have successfully rooted my phone using Towelroot. I have installed SuperSu, BusyBox, an GPRO Kitkat Recvery.
6. Also, when I tried to flash different recoveries, it fails. PhilZ Touch CWM fails, and my phone is being recognized as the LG F240L and does not let me install at all even though I fully flashed Taiwan KDZ file (E988). LG 240L KDZ file is the first one I flashed when the AT&T TOT failed to flash.
I have no idea what I can do to get my LTE back. If someone can give any advise to get my modem work right, I would appreciate it. I am game to flashing any fimwares or trying different roms or anything.
Thanks.
Any help or suggestion is really appreciated.

Hello, I hope you already solved your problem by the time I'm writing this, but if you haven't, here is some extras to consider.
It could be funny to think about it, but it happens to everyone, we do everything we should, and we forget the basic stuff.
For basic stuff I'm referring to going into network preferences and setting up 4G/LTE as preferred network, you may also try to scan networks and see if a 4G/LTE network is on the list for your carrier, and obviously select it, if you don't see 4G networks then there could be an issue with your modem-rom combination, try something else.
Other thing is the APN, remember to set up the proper APN, maybe your phone had the proper setup when it came to you first but you wiped it all when you started flashing roms.
There are other advanced options that I haven't used to try to set 4G as preferred networks, but since I don't have 4G with my carrier I haven't had your problems to know they are, be sure to google them or search here on XDA.
Hope this helps bro!, let us know what works for you of if you still need ideas.

Still looking

Thanks for your suggestion! I have an option to select GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto which has been selected. I have also manually entered the correct APN setting.

[SOLVED][Q] Need help urgently [ARTMOD 6]

Hello everyone! As I am new here I'd like to say HI to XDA community!
Okay, what I've done so far is this to my E975 INTL
Rooted, bootloader unlocked and CWM by MAKO method (No problems)
Upgraded to CM12 (No problems)
Restored Nandroid (No problems)
Upgraded to ARTMOD V6 (PROBLEM: Turned to F180L and bricked)
After two days of brick I used LG S/W Update tool and upgraded my phone.... It upgraded to F180L30c .... I want to revert to my own E975 INTL.... How's that possible? Used KDZ method from Upgrader and it won't work.... It would unpack E97510c KDZ and then my phone would boot into fastboot menu... And then nothing... How to make it work? If any other method then please tell me what is it... Please I need help to get rid of this Korean ROM (KK 4.4.2)
Software Upgrade [KDZ] gives errors:
WParam: 100
LParam: 210
I am really disappointed that no one replied on my previous questions... Only 100+ views.

What helped with me is just to flash a kitkat stock rom and flash a e975 modem afterwards. ARTmod is a e975 rom so I dont get how you ran into this problem. Flash an earlier version of ARTmod. Im running ARTmod 5,5 after running into the same problem after flashing sling rom. I hope this works for you

I dont think it has much to do with the rom itself, you need to flash the baseband again. Usually that works with other roms.

[Q] LG e980 AT&T - Download Mode Changed - BIN model is different

I bought this LG E980 AT&T model (v20G) and I installed E988 stock 4.4.2 OTA ROM (.kdz method) given by sandyiscool in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2754294
it was successfully installed until i realized there's alot of modem problems i.e. my 3G would show up but would run very slow as compared to other phones using same carrier.
So now I wanted to revert back to Stock ROM E980 (.tot method), but as soon as i put my phone in download mode and plugged into the PC, LGFLashTool gave me the error "Bin model is different" and then got red and failed to install Stock ROM. I think the download mode model has been changed to E988 while i was installing its OTA Rom.
Is there any way to revert this download mode back to E980 model. I tried both E988 and E980 .dll files for .tot flashing tool but both gave same error. I can only find E980 TOT files and cant find E980 AT&T v20g .kdz file anywhere (I think that may solve my problem if i find it). Please provide a solution to let me revert back to E980 OTA rom. I'd be really thankful.
