As the title says, I converted a US990 to a LS990 and then flashed Cloudy G3 1.2 for the LS990.
Calls work on both AT&T and T-Mobile but I can not get data to connect for either network.
I have put in the correct APN settings and changed the network around from GSM only to LTE only as well as all the others but nothing will let me get data.
I have tried different basebands/modems from the US990 and LS990.
I also flashed modems from all the other G3 variations but still no data.
Only the ZV4 & ZV6 modems from the LS990 allow calls to work.
I do not want to put the instructions for how to do the conversion unless I can get data working.
Anyone have any ideas?
Can you post your steps of how you converted a US990 to LS990
Noones gonne be able to help you if we dont know what you did...
I did not want to post these instructions because I knew people would start making bricks. I am done with this.
So I am thinking that this conversion can be made simple by flashing cloudy g3 for the LS990 to the US990 and then flashing the ZV4 or ZV6 modem from the LS990.
Could you please let me know if that works? I am trying to figure out if this US990 is worth keeping or just selling at a loss on eBay.
please upload nandroid

This is true. I just did not want a bunch of people trying to convert the phone and then be stuck not being able to fully use it.
I will keep it simple for now then and there may be an easier way to do this.
I rooted the phone and installed TWRP.
I had a nandroid back up for an LS990 that I restored to the US990.
I used a restore because whenever I tried to install a rom that was meant for an LS990 it would fail and corrupt the system partition. This would lead to needing to either restore the US990 from a Twrp back up or using a KDZ to get the phone working again.
The reason that I even tried this is because the US990 system board is labeled as an LS990. Makes me think that the hardware is identical.
After the nandroid restore the phone lost its ability to boot to the system and started in fastboot mode. it still had download mode too so I used an LS990 ZV4 tot and flashed the tot using LG Flash too. It booted straight up after the tot flash and was now an LS990.
I proceeded to root and install cloudy G3 1.2 for the LS990 from a nandroid.
I had to use a nandroid to install because the phone has a bad touch screen and I can not run the aroma installer from TWRP to finish installing the cloudy rom.
Dark unicorn was also installed from a nandroid back up because it will fail to install on the US990 even after the conversion causing the system partition to become corrupted.
At this point calls worked. I did not try to send or receive a text yet.
Calls also worked with the dark unicorn lollipop rom for GSM on the LS990 but again no working data.
Using T-Mobile my network connection is UMTS at best but no data working
Using AT&T I get HSPA but no data working.
I tried different modems but nothing helped. Only the LS990 modems were able to get calls using sim cards from AT&T and T-mobile.
It looses a signal if I switch to 2G only and LTE only but works good on GSM only and WCDMA only as well as the variations that include multiple connections like GSM and WCDMA.
When I did the first restore using the LS990 back up I forgot to remove the EFS partition and so my ESN got changed. I had to fix it.
This is pretty much where i am right now with the phone. It is fully recognized as an LS990 by flashtool and PC.

I second that.
I actually made a LS990 Nandroid backup, restored and no help. Flashing Cloudy 1.3 while selecting LS990 gave same results as restoring LS990 nandroid backup. In both cases, I had to restore the device back to stock using US990 kdz. Also, don't use US99020a firmware to restor as TWRP won't work on that, though root is possible.
I tried CM12.1 Unofficial which was released last week as well but that does not unlock the device either.
Don't know where I'm wrong, do I need to backup EFS as well?

I restored the US990 back to stock and started from scratch. I got it working again without using the nandroid this time.
From a stock US990 I rooted and installed TWRP for the US990.
I installed cloudyfa G3 1.2 for the LS990.
I deleted the LAF partition to get into fastboot mode.
I flashed the following from ZV4 LS990:
fastboot flash aboot aboot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dbi dbi.img
fastboot flash factory factory.img
fastboot flash misc misc.img
fastboot flash modem modem.img
fastboot flash persist persist.img
fastboot flash PrimaryGPT PrimaryGPT.img
fastboot flash rct rct.img
fastboot flash rpm rpm.img
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.img
fastboot flash tz tz.img
Thanks to autoprime for hosting the LG partitions.
After the partitions were flashed I was back to working calls and text using my GSM sim but still no data.
If you have unknown baseband after flashing cloudy G3, then you will need to flash back to stock using an LS990 ZV4 tot and then root, install TWRP for LS990 and then install cloudy again to get the baseband to stick.
One of the most important things here is the modem. Only ZV4 and ZV6 from the LS990 will allow the GSM hack to work. And I have had the unknown baseband if I flash cloudy on any LS990 other than ZV4.
I will need to make a new nandroid. I will make one from the US990 that I already have working on GSM and post a link when done but you will still need to flash at least the modem from LS990 ZV4 to get it to work.

Thanks!
Here are both the nandroid and LS990 ZV4 partitions.
The nandroid is LS990 cloudy G3 1.2 backed up from the US990 with working GSM.
It includes only the system and boot.
Nandroid: https://mega.co.nz/#!3A83nRoJ!R2dV_LSlbp13ZOjhTPCoyeD8lre_psbiA6_2JRF7fV0
LS990 partitions: https://mega.co.nz/#!LVEgnAAB!sOfUHLw-CGOeHxFbYMuyhA0NEJR3xC4UsXli1nxx3Lg
There is a flash.bat in the partitions folder. it only flashes the partitions that I mentioned. It does not flash recovery.

Thanks a ton for this! I am kinda lost on deleting LAF and getting in to fastboot as after I flashed Cloudy 1.3 with boot.img removed, all I can get in to with holding Volume up is download mode and not fast boot.
Also, are the partitions supposed to be flashed using fastboot? Please provide instructions.

After deleting the laf partition, you get into fastboot in the same way as getting into download mode.
Use the root method that works for your phone.

Also, the phone now boots into MiniOS-ATT-Test Tool and appears to be a D851 now. I am super confused as I have been noticing that on the back of the phone it has D851 written on it too along with US990. Do you think I should try flashing D851 partitions instead of LS990?

Yeah the mini os. Forgot about that one. After it boots to mini push and hold the power button. then after the first test passes scroll down a bit and select normal boot while still holding the power button.
As far as flashing back to US990 goes, you would need to flash a US990 nandroid and maybe some of the partitions to get flashtool to see the phone as a US990. Right now you may be able to flash the LS990ZV4 KDZ and then proceed to install cloudy.

the D851 is only on some of the parts because LG uses them in different models. I flashed D851 modems to the phone and none worked. The phone lost baseband and I had to flash it back to an LS990 Modem.

I tried using the Telcel Mexico E980 KDZ but the LG FlashTool 2014 keeps saying that its losing server connection and keeps deleting the mexico E980 KDZ at every try. I also tried the TOT for E980 AT&T but no luck, my phone is only read as an F240L 30C, so the flash tool wont flash my e980, i also tried using the universal dll but no use. PLEASE HELP ME OUT do0dz !!

TOT method makes strict check, KDZ method does not
e980 which is AT&T's model imply TOT method for flashing back the phone. During the process it checks SBL3, as I understand, for the model of the phone. If it doesn't match, you get this error. If you proceed with KDZ method (not AT&T's ROMs), LG Flash Tool 2014 is not checking a model of your phone. You will be able to flash a ROM, but your device will not be reported as AT&T's LGE980 and you may have an access to 16GB only of internal space (if the image is for 16GB model). This is, btw, the quickest way to get your phone back to life if it is bricked. After that you will still not be able to use TOT method because SBL3 is still not native to your phone.
For success with TOT method you have to replace SBL3 along with SBL2, SBL1, aboot, and (probably) rpm and tz partitions from AT&T image, because secure boot checks each next partition to be matching the current one. You can take their images from extracted TOT file and use dd command from custom recovery or rooted Android system.
WARNING: it is quite dangerous to get a hard brick, so do it at your own risk and only if you understand what you are doing.

Hi I just found a solution to these problems that is much simpler than this. I have an att E980, and I wanted to see if I could get the sim to work on the stock lollipop kdz version only to discover that I could not, and was stuck from flashing back using TOT method, well I found a method to get back to a version of e980 in order to use the TOT method, I am working a full in depth tutorial post for it but long story short is if you flash the wrong version all you need to do is download the panama E980h kdz where all the other modem files are located here, http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+Optimus+G+Pro/Stock/E980H/ | flash it using the lg 2014 flash tools. Then you will be able to use any e980 tot file again to flash, I just restored my phone back to stock with no model error issue.

Firstly sorry bad english
İ used cm12 nighty after İ instaled sling 3.20 and mcdev6,artmod7, my lgog signal strength very very low down (probably related to the baseband) I want to install the original tr (turkish) software but i can not install old and new 2014 lg flash tool
finally i can instal 10f twn with old flash tool but phone storage only 200mb ( factorty reset not work) and signal strength very bad
if I do update with PC suite improves
In the select type window of LG flash tool you need to use CDMA and in the Phone Mode Window you need to use DIAG or Emergency.Then use the CSE Flash Button and let it install Stock Rom.
If you are lucky you will have your signal strength back and everything is fine if you won't have any Signal you need to flash your EFS Partitions.If you didn't backup them when they were still working then you are doomed
Warning:CSE Flash will wipe your complete Phone Storage!!!So backup everything you can and then do a CSE Flash
Hope I could help you.:fingers-crossed:
LG E975K update refused "device WAS rooted"
I have attempted to update my E975K (Telstra phone - Australian) 5 times. 3 downloads of 1Gb and 2 of 550MB. All failed with update usually stuck at 4% when using LG PC Suite and using up 3Gb of my small quota.
I tried using the phone app to update: 1st error (after full download of 550Mg failed. Received message that device was rooted = no update.
Unrooted my phone, cleaned it as much as I knew. Second attempt failed! Message: it seemed my device WAS rooted, therefore no update allowed.
I give up. I don't know how to remove traces of the root. If anyone is able to show me the way, much thanks in advance. KajoB

Well I cannot get this to even show up in Recovery in TWRP. put in the TWRP>Backups folder, tried the TWRP root folder, nothing works. Only thing I can thing of is he is using a different version of TWRP than me (2.8.6.1)
This really sucks as I am having the notorious issue where my phone is detectable everywhere except for in DOWNLOAD mode. Have tried multiple cables, original LG cable, 2 different PCs (Win7), reinstalling USB drivers, LG/Android...etc. So weird as if the phone is in normal mode, I can see it in windows, but as soon as I go to download mode, it is not discoverable. So this is the only method I can think of that will work. I was going to initially .TOT to ZVE and then OTA or one of the other methods for ZVG. So frustrated.

So when you go to download mode, it stays at the smaller graphic of a download status or the big one that will say you're rooted.
I think we need to find a way to fix your download mode to work.
When you say it doesn't find your phone. You have the big graphic of the download bar and your windows device manager doesn't show anything under com settings?

Device Manager will still show LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (41)...made sure it wasnt a port issue already
It goes into download mode, top says Firmware Update,shows the Do Not Unplug the USB connection......message with the 0% progress bar, and at the bottom says B66 and in red ROOTED. But this is where ADB loses contact with the device. 'ADB Devices' comes back blank and 'ADB wait-for-device' just waits forever. When the phone is running normally I can get a response from 'ADB devices' with the correct device ID.
I am sure this doesn't matter, but I was on BlissPoP 3.2 (LP 5.1), then TWRP'd back to a ZVE rooted I had saved stupidly thinking that would help.
I'm sure different cables give same result. I know when I side loaded the zvg update, different cables made a difference on how fast it transfered.
Only other thing I can think of is to try replace the laf partition with the correct auto-rec.
Since you went back to one kind of ROM. Maybe this might help it

My G4 has just gone on me again, just sitting at the boot logo and a flashing blue led. This is the 2nd time in a week and the last time it was due to a corrupt build.prop, which I was able to replace from backup. This time it has just happened randomly and the original build.prop doesn't help.
So if someone can help me out urgently with a stock marshmallow rom for twrp it would be a big help.
Cheers.

theres is softbrick and bootloop. you are aware that G4 can bootloop do to a hadware issue not software.?
maybe you have infamous bootloop. and not a soft brick. but you can try to KDZ does it boot into twrp.? if not then hardware issue.
for kdz search here to flash using LGUP.

Yes, it boots to twrp. Thats the reason I need the 20e zip file and not kdz. I was able to flash a 20d zip last night which then allowed me to flash the 20e kdz. But when I flashed twrp again just now, the same thing has happened again. I'm thinking now that this started happening when I updated twrp to the latest version via the twrp app, and it was only when I had another app crash and reboot my phone two nights ago that it happened for the first time. I'm going to downgrade twrp to an earlier version and see if that makes a difference.

??? you needed the zip to flash KDZ.??? that makes no sense.. then no hardware issue just a soft brick, a software issue. all you had to do was KDZ to latest version. using the refurbished option on LGUP.
then inject twrp and install twrp permanently and then root .
wich twrp are you using.? have you tried this.
the unnoficial beta5.

I was unable to boot my phone so I needed to reflash it. As I only had access to twrp, I had to flash a zip file. I couldn't find a 20e zip so I flashed the next best thing, which was a 20d file. This isn't the correct version for my phone and let me know that each time I booted it. So once I had the phone booted up, I used LGUP to flash the 20e kdz file. My reasoning for this is that I can only flash a kdz file using LGUP, and as I can't boot my phone, I can't use LGUP. So are you telling me I can flash a kdz file from twrp?
Anyway, it appears the latest twrp (twrp-3.0.2-1-h815) was causing the problem. I reverted back to the previous version and I have had no issues so far. I've taken a full nandroid backup to be on the safe side.
Thanks for the advice.

if you boot to twrp then am pretty sure you can enter download mode and use LGUP and KDZ. that was my point. its even better as its the official firmware that will fix any issues..

I couldn't get the phone into download mode. If I had been able to do so it would've made life a lot easier for me. Flashing the zip file and then the kdz was a long winded way to do it but I finally got the desired effect. And I was able to tell that the latest twrp looks to be problematic for the H815 (I've prepared myself for any resulting backlash).

give the one i posted link a try.. is unofficial and at the same thime official..
Just disabling automatic updates in your rom should fix all this. Latest twrp works fine.

How did you restore stock? I flashed kernel but was on custom rom. Phone got stuck on bootloop. I can't enter recovery or fastboot. LGUP fails because i can't cross flash my Sprint to any other KDZ. Any suggestions on what i can try? thanks

Did you root your phone? If you did, you can use Qfil to restore your stock boot img (if you made a backup). If you didn't, you'd have to get someone to send you their boot image. I would have sent mine, but I cross flashed from Sprint to Open US. I doubt mine would work for you.
Why can't you cross flash?

To cross flash? Yes i found one, but it's via TWRP. Right now all i get is logo, "your device software can not be checked for corruption.." and screen off. I can only enter Download mode. If i can at least restore recovery i can cross flash or install custom.

No I didn't. Did you clear stock modem file from QFIL?
You should clear modem and some other files stated in that post. Then you select all partitions in LGUP except one file also stated in the post. (I can't remember the name of the file)

yea i cleared the files mentioned in that post. and also cleared modem. Any kdz i flash, the first message i get is: this phone is permanently locked. it can not be unlocked. before this i tried some guy's backup from TWRP of his lg g8 sprint. i got lots of errors popping up when it booted. i think that's where my sim whatever got messed up.
From my research, i think a file called fsg has something to do with sim working. Also my IMEI is 0. any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
