Device named changed, now I can't reset to stock! - Sprint LG G2

I'm using LG FlashTool 1.8.1.1023 and I have a Sprint LS980.. I downloaded the files from a storage cow link for the exact phone I have. I tried to flash a Mahdi Rom for the LS980, but it went straight to fastboot upon boot of the phone and I haven't had any luck accessing recovery mode again, just download mode. When I attempt to use LG FlashTools I get this:
Model: G2
DLL: LS980
(BIN,SWV,SWOV just show the .tot I'm using which was downloaded from the link I posted before)
the error i get is this: Device Model is different! Check Phone or DLL! 00000000
I have a LG G2 LS980 but in model is says G2, how screwed am I?.....

I'm having the same issue. I got stuck with my LS980 coming up on LG Flash tools as a D801. I can get the T-mobile KitKat kdz to work but,wifi is acting weird and it says Service Restricted for the signal.

CrossDL D851 to LS990 in FlashTool

I GSM unlocked my Sprint LG G3 to use on T-Mobile. Everything worked great until I tried to load a stock T-mobile firmware. Phone hard bricked. I ran through a guide to unbrick the phone. The last step is to load the tot file using LG Flash tool. Every time I try to do this I get a CrossDL D581 to LS990. From reading the only solution I've found is to change the hex in the first line of the tot file to make Flash tool think it is loading the D581 tot file. Does anyone know what this change would be or another method to get this phone up and running again? Or...since phone is unlocked and was working on T-Mobile with H+ speeds a way to load a T-mobile firmware? Thanks
any solution to this question?

LG G3 Fastboot Mode Started Error

Hello,
Not new to flashing roms but, was recently running CloudyG3 2.5 Rom on my lg g3 D852 and wanted to switch to the kitkat version G3 1.2 during the installation I accidentally clicked on another version other than D852. Now the phone is stuck at Fastboot Mode Started.
I am unable to get into the recovery but, can access download mode. Currently there is no .kdz file for my carrier but only a .tot file. Using the LG FlashTool and the given proper .tot and .dll I tried flashing my phone and recieve the following error.
"Device Model Different"
Can anyone help me?
(XDA wont allow me to post links to the error from LG Flash Tool because I have under 10 posts)
KDZ's for Canadian variants are here?

Trying to flash stock ROM using LG FlashTool, require D855K dll file.

I bricked my phone using CM13 and have followed this guide (open-freax.fr/guide-unbrick-your-lg-g3) . I'm at the point where I need to use LG FlashTool to flash the stock ROM. I always use D855 ROMs but this time LG FlashTool is giving me the error: Device Model is different! Check Phone or DLL! I bought my phone from Australia and my phone's model is D855K, although D855 ROMs have always worked on my phone in the past. If anyone knows where I can get the D855K dll, or perhaps a different method of returning to stock. I can access Download Mode if that helps.

For stock rom you need to download the one for D855K otherwise it won't work

Just follow your link at your post.
You can used tot & dll file from D855 and extract them on boardiag. And flashing aboot, primaryGT, etc on boarddiag using file extractor d855 tot.
But, after finished, after you see "download mode", just flash your d855K kdz, or d855 kdz using flashtools 2014.
This might help you my friend.

Can't flash G3

After a hardbrick from a bad rooting, i succeed to restore the download mode from my d855 lg g3.
But when i try to flash a rom, it doesnt work.
From Lg support mobile tool or LG FLASHTOOL 2014 it stops at 2 or 3% with multiple KDZ file. (d855v20a and d855v21a)
With LG FLASHTOO v1.8 (tot) method, i get this error :
Model Name : LG-D855RE
SWV : LGD850PRAT-00-V20a-GLOBAL-SCA-MAR-17-2015-32G+0
SWOV : LGD850PRAT-00-V20a-GLOBAL-SCA-MAR-17-2015-32G+0
Device Model is different!
Check phone or dll !
I took the stock TOT and dll : LGD855_20140526_LGFLASHv160.dll and LGD855AT-00-V10e-EUR-XX-JUL-08-2014-32G+0.tot
Before i tried to root, i had the D855v20a version...
Do you have any ideas please? :s
I dont know if theres one for g3 but g2 had a megalock.dll if im not misttaken just for sitiations like this its been a while since ive been in the g2 forums but u might look into it

LGD855 Changed to LS990 after flashing wrong rom.and wont go back

Hello Everyone I have a problem with my LG G3 which I have bought it recently was working nice but it had KitKat so I wanted to upgrade to lollipop but didn't know that LG G3 had different variant.
I've downloaded a wrong flash (LS990 sprint) and flashed it. so I lost the network and I noticed that the imei has changed. and I don't have the original IMEI of the phone ( the sticker on the back of phone is for D855 16GB not for D855 32GB).so I think its not the original IMEI.
After bricking the phone I've opened it and noticed that it was D855 written on the motherboard.
when trying to flash the original D855 rom it doesn't work (flashed it using the crossDLL method and using the Hex Method By changing D855 to LS990 to make the flash tool think Its LS990) the flash pass on both methods but i'm stuck on LG logo.
send it to some repairing services here in my country but they didn't fix it they thought its sprint so they flashed PrimeGSM but still no network.
I think I should change the IMEI before flashing D855 or something.
please Help me I've looked all over the NET but find no solution to this problem.
If you need more informations ask me. Help me as soon as possible this is the only phone that I have.
Did you ever figure out how to fix this? I have a ls990 which was flashed with PrimeGSM and is now detected as a d855... I have been trying to get this working for the last two days with no luck

Hello
What is the problem that you are facing ?
Is it a network problem or what ?
Primegsm is ported from d855 so i think it will show D855 on any lg g3 that does'nt mean that your phone detected as d855.
Make sure your phone is ls990 or another variant
And which country and carrier ? So i can help you.
I basically have a soft bricked phone - no OS as all. I am in New Zealand running on the Vodafone network.
I was using PrimeGSM and it was working fine but decided to go back to the stock ZV8, when running through LG Flash Tool I noticed Download mode was showing the model as a D855 and would not accept the LS990 DLL - I then made the mistake of using the generic DLL with a D855 image which started a boot loop - then made more mistakes and ended up with no OS and stuck at the LG logo.
At this stage I am able to get to fastboot and use fastboot boot to get into TWRP but cannot do much from there, I also have to use the D855 TWRP image as the LS990 fails with a device tree issue. fastboot will not erase any partitions or flash any images manually. Using terminal in TWRP I am able to browse the partition though but cannot mount the SD card or use adb to push or pull (fails with error closed)
I stuffed up quite a few times along the way but sure I can recover from it since I still have quite a bit of access to the device...
I managed to get my phone going again by following a guide I found in the forum, I am pretty sure it would solve the ops issue as well.
Really quick and easy, I just bridged the points with a needle and copper cable.
