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

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.

[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

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)

[Q] Help with a proper KDZ file for an E980 with 32gb inbuilt

Please all Help with a proper kitkat KDZ file that i can use to flash my e980 which will still retain 32gb inbuilt , working SD card and mic. I am currently on the hongkong kitkat for e988, everything works well except that my internal storage is 10gb instead of 29 when it was on stock 4.1.2 for at&t.
Your using KDZ files. The E980 version of the Lg Optimus G uses .tot files.
"I am currently on the hongkong kitkat for e988" < < < You need to flash the kitkat .tot for the e980 not the .kdz for the e988.
Here is a link to the stock .tot's for the e980. Click on and download the one that says V20g for kitkat, or any of the V10 for Jelly Bean.
Also make sure to download LGE980_20130314_LGFLASHv151.dll from the page as well to use with your flashtools, as the e988 .dll most likely won't work or will cause issues.
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+Optimus+G+Pro/Stock/AT&T/
The e988 only has 16gb of memory, where as the e980 has 32gb. By switching to the proper software, you'll get your extra storage back, and I bet your phone will run better on your cell towers.

D852g Cant revert to stock

Good morning
Im using a Canadian version of the LG G3 D852g on Videotron network.
I have been able to root and twrp the phone no problem. I have tried most of the roms available (candy cm 12 etc)
I installed cloudy 2.5 for my model of phone and since then i have been unable to revert to the stock OS via the KDZ method or TOT.
What is odd is that the KDZ worked no problem until after i installed cloudy 2.5
The KDZ method would now stall at 2% and indicate that it can not find my device. (yes i know drivers com port 41 etc etc etc)
I downloaded tot file and dll required for my device and when i run the LG flash tool.
SO then i tried the TOT method to revert to kit kat. and this is where i got a weird error message

Any help would be greatly appreciated

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
