hello all
this is my first post, lamentabemente not very encouraging, I have a lg optimus g f180s! I'm from Ecuador and EBAY buy it.
The phone came with software version 4.0.4 f180s10h, so I go to xda and find, you can update the software in the same way that my previous lg nitro hd, ie via kdz ...
I proceed to download the file f180s20b, located on the xda page, and installed correctly.
Upon restart my phone was all perfect except:
It does not recognize the sim card
Does not display the IMEI (unknown), or the IMEI SV (unknown).
The baseban number :APQ8064/MDM9x15M
Done everything I'm desperate and can not find a solution to this problem, your help please!
I DONT attached photos
have same problem
have same problem
You may mess up with your EFS partition.
Get a efs backup from another f180s and restore it...
Same ****
I successfully (??) flashed my F180k to E975K kdz/
everything seems ok, but I get Invalid sim error, and obviously cannot connect/
I tried to unlock the phone using freegee, running TWRP, with no success. should i run CWM 6.0.3.0?
Any other ideas why the phone is locked or how to unlock it?
thanks,
invalid sim got nothing to do with lock bootloader and recovery and freegee
the phone is permanently locked (!!) help...
Any ideas how to bypass it?
if it was working fine before try the same stock f180 firmware and see if that works, have no idea about sim unlocking on optimus G. search for that.

you need to flash f180 baseband, 1st check your f180 S or K or L then flash baseband made for your variant

your guide is really great, I probably did something wrong. how can I tell if I am running the right baseband?
the baseband currently installed on my phone is APQ8064/MDM9x15M.
do you have another baseban file other than what you've linked to on your guide?
many thanks!

I flashed the baseband, but it is still permanently locked.
Any ideas as to how can it be unlocked? maybe if I will use other EFS backup?
will it be solved if I will go back to to the original KDZ?

have you backed up your efs before installing kdz? it may help you for working sim cards.
but if you revert back to orignal kdz baseband is a issue here again
Did u hard reset after flashing kdz???

This did not solve the problem.
The baseband fix seems to only fix the reception issues of the phone so that it can pick up the signal.
The problem I have is about the phone not recognizing the sim card. It will only recognize it when I go back to the stock F180K rom not the E975 rom.
By the way, all F180 phones are pre-unlocked by Korean law.

You do not need to touch the baseband if you already flashed the F180K rom.
The sim should be recognized and baseband should be the right one already.
If you need further info add jseo to kakao talk and send me a message and we can talk real time. I'm in Seoul

Hi Guys,
I need expert help here , it looks i brick my handset while i was trying to convert it into E975 by following the instruction
Guide
Regardless of which firmware you are currently running on your F180, you will need to download and switch to the corresponding one from the list below:
F180S : F180S20B_00.kdz
F180K : F180K20B_00.kdz
F180L : F180L20H_00.kdz
Tip: You can find your phone’s model by going to ‘Settings > About > Phone identity’ in Android.
Warning: Make sure your phone’s battery is at least charged 80%. Don’t proceed otherwise as LG Optimus G comes with non-removable battery and thus you won’t be able to easily swap the battery if it dies in the middle of the process.
It is mandatory that you factory reset your phone before proceeding. For doing so, go to ‘Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset’. Please keep in mind that doing so will wipe your phone including contacts, messages, mails, applications and all the data on your phone’s internal storage. Your phone will reboot twice. Let it boot after factory reset. Once you are on the language selection screen, power off your phone
Press and hold down ‘Volume Up’ + ‘Volume Down’ and while inserting USB cable in to the phone. This will get you to S/W download mode on LG F180.
Now you need to flash the firmware you downloaded earlier. Please refer to the guide here:
How to: Download and Install KDZ LG firmware – All Android models
Once the KDZ firmware is successfully flashed, your phone will reboot automatically. Once it fully boots up, go through the setup procedure and again factory reset it as you already did once.
Once you are on the language selection screen, power off your phone
Once again, put your phone in download mode
For converting your phone to E975, we’ll be flashing this E975 Hong Kong KDZ:
Follow the same procedure for flashing KDZ as you did earlier.
Once the KDZ flash is successful, go through the set-up procedure. Now go to ‘Settings > Storage’ and make sure your internal storage is being listed there. If it shows “0.00 GB” there, don’t panic. Power off your phone. Once completely off, press and hold down ‘Volume Down’ + ‘Power’ buttons until the phone displays a hard reset screen. Release ‘Volume Down’ and press ‘Power’ twice for resetting your phone.
Your phone will reboot once again and your phone’s internal storage will be back to normal.
Now you need to root your phone. Please refer to our LG Optimus G universal rooting guide here:
Universal root for LG Optimus G – Any firmware
Once you are done with rooting process, make sure you reboot your phone at least once if it doesn’t reboot automatically.
Now we will be flashing LG F180 baseband. Download your corresponding baseband backup from the list below:
F180S Baseband
F180K Baseband
F180L Baseband
Unzip the downloaded archive and you will find a batch file named ‘modem-flash’ inside it. Make sure ‘USB Debugging’ is enabled on your phone and your phone is in ‘Charge only’ mode while connected to the PC. Run the ‘modem-flash’ batch file.
Keep an eye on your phone screen as you will need to tap the grant permission button on SuperSU pop-up. If you miss the pop-up as it expires after 10 sec, run ‘modem-flash’ batch file again.
Once the baseband has been flashed successfully, reboot your phone
Congratulations! You have just converted LG F180 to LG E975.
it converted successfully but when i insert sim in it says invalid sim card , i have updated the base band given in above link but no luck then i tried to flash the original rom with many version for this set same thing again ,no signal no network .i think i mess up with the orginal modem without taking any kind of backup.
I need expert advise here how to fix it and which kdz to use to fix it.
looking forward for your reply.
Thanks,
@ranadawood: Flash original kdz file for your respective model to get back network ...
e.g F180L/k or S one

Hey i searched internet and found a zip file name patch_bb_l that solved my problem when i lost my signals after converting to E975
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
Reply
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.
long time lurker here.I bought a g4 second hand.it was advertised as h815 unlocked.the imei checked out online and all stickers said 815 as well.but in hardware info it showed h815T(HK variant).thankfully i knew how to flash firmwares so i downloaded a KDZ and flashed it with lg ft 2014.for some reason (i dont remember why) i flashed 2-3 times with other kdzs and ended up in the current state.the phone now shows H818(dual sim variant) in hardware info and doesnt
detect my sim card(same sim works fine in my G2).I never downloaded the h818 kdz.

i think is was misinterpreted. its a h815 but a h815t indeed and unlocked mean carrier as you know theres no way to unlock bootloader.. you need to flash the h815T KDZ. i hope that you didnt mess your imei.
inject only works in LP not on MM. also youll need to find out if you can downgrade to lollipop. as this phone have antirollback wich means once you are on a version you cannot go nack or youll hard brick phone.

thank you for the response.im on lollipop right now since ft 2014 doesnt flash MM and lgup and ft 2.0.1.6 stop flashing after checking phone info(they stop flashing as phone shows h818 but kdz is for h815).I flashed h815T kdz multiple times(twice just today)but phone still shows h818 in lgup and in settings.the phone cant be h818 as it only has 1 sim slot.
imei is ok right now.SIM issue happened to be a ****ty sim cut job by the customer service guy.only remaining issue is the wrong version showing up in phone settings. cant flash MM due to that.
also,is there anything good about upgrading to MM???

Actually MM isnt an upgrade. Lollipop is best(maybe nougat will be worth anything). I think you should flash uk v20g kdz with lg up(or LG firware flash 2014). I suggest using LG UP also you can give TOT method a try

Do they check in build.prop? If so just change build.prop value and you're good to go. I think that there is also possibility to fake your software version and then flash anything you want
