[GUIDE] Unbrick F240 by turning it to E980 - LG Optimus G Pro

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:

At this point, you need to root the phone and install CWM using the files in this thread thanks to XQ55 :

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

When you have rooted your device, you can safely remove these apps via "Root App Delete" I did this one mine F180L.
you can also flash 10A HK ROM original from LG and then for the signal install bband.xml. Then you have also the Qslide tools.

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)

[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:

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
Thanks.... Just a little help
Thanks a lot mate... I owe you one! Done.... Now I'm unbricked and am running E9750C Vietnam's.... I restored IMEI and EFS but still I'm having weak network signals.... When I bought the phone it was on E97510C OPEN HK..... I need to get open Hong Kong version (from KDZ) toget my signal strength back? I'm 50 meters away from networks tower... Still I lose signals literally every time..... Please help me on this.... Thanks alot for answering me.... I don't know how it happened.... Logs were like:
Wiping system
Complete
Wiping baseband
Complete
Installation complete, please reboot :-/
Couldn't mount system or anything.... Flashing kdz worked... Consumed 4 gigabyte download for KDZ lol and if you can please give me woking link for hong kong KDZ E97510C-OPEN-HK

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.

Can i use lg pc suite for back to the stock rom

hey, im using D855 LG G3, i installed CloudyG3 (LG G4 ROM) and its really stable but i need back to stock now. But im worried about the kdz and TOT method. i used kdz method 2-3 times, didnt use TOT method. anyway i have a question ; Can i use the LG PC Suite for back to stock rom? becouse if i download the kdz from internet, its modified there are too many apps on rom (china apps) i dont want them i cant trust (it wont be rooted if its back to stock). i used lg pc suite too many times, or can u guys give me the original D855 v20i kdz file link (v20i-SEA-XX) im not sure about v20i-SEA-XX or XX-SEA-v20i but im sure, its v20i and SEA..
thank you all! :*

I don't think you can, but, if you download the kdz from a trusted place, you are actually back to stock without "china apps".
You can download the kdz here: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/
but be sure to flash the good one
