LGD855 Changed to LS990 after flashing wrong rom.and wont go back - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

lg g3 soft bricked/ problem with models

hello everyone
i don't know about android that much
when i first bought my lg g3 LS990 "sprint device" i had some issues with the 3G/LTE since i live in middle east and the only way to access 3g signals is through CDMA??!
anyway... i went to a repair man and told him about my problem he rooted my phone, flashed a custom recovery "TWRP", then flashed a custom rom
when everything was done he managed to fix the 3g signals some how but the phone still wasn't able to get 4g signals
the weird thing is that when i checked the system info the mobile's model was changed from LS990 to D855
i didn't pay much attention to that back then but in the meanwhile i did some stuff and i had to flash a custom rom so while doing that my phone soft bricked
now i'm trying to flash stock rom again the problem is when i tried to flash LS990 stock rom i had an error message that says "device model is different"
and when i try to flash D855 rom it proceeds to 6% then an error message occurs says "partition change fac... 00000064" can't see the whole error message cause flash tool is not re-sizable
so now im not able to flash D855 model's rom or ls990 one
what should i do please i need help if anybody knows
would try anything thanks in advance

[Q] Motherboard Changed From E988 to a E980 at LG Service Centre?

Hi guys in urgent need of your opinions. When I went to an LG service centre after my phone died they replaced my mobo (E988 Singapore) with an E980 one. Soon after before I managed to root and unlock its bootloader I checked through the device details and the funny thing is that I realised it doesn't tally with any AT&T or non-AT&T E980 models as the model number was just listed as E980 and if I remember correctly the version number for the firmware listed it as an EU device?
I went forward with modding the phone and everything went well until recently when I tried to switch recoveries from CWM to TWRP. Unfortunately due to the confusion regarding my hardware (whether it was really an E980 or E988) I mucked up the process and am left with soft bricked device. Any ideas how to fix this? I don't know which KDZ file to flash for my situation. Please help me solve this as I really need to use the device urgently.
I think you'd be fine just treating it as an e980 and flashing back to stock
So I should just use any of the E980 kdz? I don't wanna risk hard bricking the device but I'll try it when I get the chance.

Lg G3 stuck on LG logo after Android 6. Cant use FlashTool

Hi,
So someone gave me a LG G3 which he updated to "D85530C_00_0211.kdz". After that the phone stuck in the LG logo and it rarely loads the phone but it freezes. I can barely unlock the phone sometimes but usually it doesn't recognise the touch.
Neither the PC is recognising the phone.
I tried to use LGFlashTool with TOT file but after "READY" when I unplug and plug again it says "Download Fail".
I also tried with the older LGFlashTool using the KDZ but still didn't work. It only worked with the KDZ above, which is the same software and again it is freezing.
LGUP isn't working too.
Any help/suggestions?
P.S.
Maybe I'm using wrong TOT/KDZ?
-The version he updated and also I was able to install is D855
-Under the battery writes "Made in Korea" which may be a Korean phone but Korea doesn't have D855
-I searched on imei.info the IMEI number and it says Carrier Poland.
-I tried using Poland KDZ, Hong-Kong TOT (because they have d855) and Europe TOT(which also has d855)
-The phone is 16GB
I do believe that your board is not of d855. It happened to me a month ago. When I opened the phone.I saw d850 written on my board.so that might be the problem.

It says D855 behind the phone. Also all parts do write D855 and a number near by. So it must be a D855.

AT&T LG D850 stuck on download mode (posting after almost all possible ways)

Hello
I recently bought an LG G3 D850 32GB AT&T with version n, that is D85010n and while trying to get CM13 on it, i have got it stuck in download mode.
I have tried all possible solutions, searched on google, to get it recovered but I think its all about the firmware version conflict that the flashing fails.
1. The phone doesn't go into recovery or fastboot mode.
2. Trying to charge while turned off, results in entering download mode
The last resort i thought was the DLL and TOT flashing via flashtool but it failed too saying "Change Partition Error" [3 sec]. The firmware i used, and widely available is LGD850_V10D-xxx-xxx or LGD850_V10f-xxx-xxx. I dont seem to find the V10n version of the rom.
I am asking for help here please. Is there any way to revive the telephone? It was originally on kitkat 4.4.2, unlocked for other networks.
thanks

open phone . take out mother board .. and read plaque model. if sprint flash sprint KDZ and LGUP. if H815 then do that .. thats the only way to be sure.
U have a refurbished model.Go to nearest mobile repair shop & take out your motherboard to see what model no is written on this.Then flash a rom accoringly. Don't flash any other rom just by assuming else you will brick your device.
Yes my phone is refurbished...
But how to flash the rom?
If I found it to be a sprint version and flash a sprint rom ...it will be locked?I am using phone in India...
Any chance to root the phone and install twrp?
Then flash a custom rom?
Please help...

Most probably it will be locked cause most higher Android versions LG has blocked rooting or unlocking..But you can always browse few threads.
Mine is also a refurbished model with F500L motherboard,LS911 body & had H815 global rom installed out of the box.I am currently on F500L Nougat locked & unrooted..I have tried almost every method.It failed to root & even to enter fast boot.
If you get your proper model no on motherboard then just flash the rom with ToT flasher in download mode with respective DLL.

Thanks for your reply...
Your network is locked?
You cant unlock it?
Can we degrade our Os to lollipop to get root?
Even I cant turn on the Enable OEM unlock under the developer mode...
Any more advices?
Please help.....
I have tried almost all h815 ans ls991 roms with all flashing methods but still unable to successfully flash my device...lg tot flash tool always show dl error after 4 to 6 percent of flashing...
Please help
Any idea's?
Pick the phone, and send it to the place where you bought it. If you have warranty the repair is free, if not, then you must pay sadly.
Still no solution, I even cannot enable OEM unlock under developer options...
It automatically disables it...
Please help
Just experienced this issue after changing sim card... Call and Camera stopped working over and over again.
How I solved it: Go to the specific app that is causing you trouble, and clear cache/files (too bad I only found this after 3 factory resets).
Maybe it will help ... LG G4 CAM
