Well, I was misinformed by the seller and he tricked me thinking I bought a D802. I was like hurrah! and suddenly i tried to flash Autorec TWRP recovery and phone just went into Fastboot coz it was D800 :crying:. I somehow Managed to restore download mode but flashing any D802 ROM gave me a "Stuck at LG" screen. I gave my set to a repair shop and i hope IA the problem will be Solved
EDIT: Check my Fake/Refurbished LG G3 thread for more easier instructions.
Confirm IMEI:
Its quite simple and does not require any laptop or anything else!
Note down the IMEI by *#06#, then follow these steps..
1.Make sure the cell is off.
2.Hold Vol up + Vol down + Power at the Same time and keep on holding until you see a White screen with "Hardware Control Written Over it"...
3.You can see the ORIGINAL IMEI at the bottom right above the bar code..
[You can also Check model with this IMEI by hooking into THIS[Updated]]
Confirm Model: [Updated] [RECOMMENDED]
Works Fine on Stock KK ROM with Stock Recovery, Doesn't Work with LP and JB
Though if you've internet then IMEI check stated above is very easy and efficient.
Else you can always confirm the Model if that is what you desire...
Things you need BEFORE buying..
Laptop with latest IOroot.zip [Check here] [You can also just download adb files from internet]
Instructions:
1.Download and extract the latest IOroot.zip
2.Enable USB Debugging. VZW users must also enable ethernet mode.
3.Now Change USB connection to MTP.
4.Open terminal/command prompt. windows/linux users: cd into /ioroot folder. mac users cd into /ioroot/mac
(windows users can hold shift key, right click in ioroot folder. Select "open command window" option.
5.copy/paste commands below
adb devices
6.Now, you'll get "Authorize this PC", check always box[or whatever] and hit accept.
Now again,
copy/paste commands below.. hitting enter/return after each line.
adb devices
adb reboot recovery
[If you get device not found error, make sure you are following the steps else try disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable]
Now at top of the recovery screen, you have your REAL Model
[Do not forget to say Thanks, if this saved you from a Scam! ] :good:
PS: The reason i mentioned IOroot.zip is only that you can also root your device with it if you're on Kitkat
I am not really sure how reliable www.imei.info is cos my phone model shows that it is a D802 witk kitkat D80220c-ZAF-XX but when i check my IMEI on www.imei.info it shows that it is a D800 model but when i check the same imei at www.imeidata.net it shows that my phone is indeed a D802

Yes its not reliable but you should also confirm your imei via "Confirm IMEI Check" stated above..
I also bought an D802 and even the *#06# showed it as D802 but the Hardware Control mode confirmed it as D800 and even the recovery said its D800 :/
The reason for posting this thread is also for someone willing to Flash a Custom Recovery and he/she, just like me, rely on the About page shown in the setting :/
One should always Confirm the Model via Recovery BEFORE flashing Custom Recovery!
Question:
Why do you want the 802 model more than the 800 model? I plan to use Lollipop, and I don't know if one is better than the other for that update :s

The imei can't always be relied upon. The only way to be 100% sure of your model number is to check the back of the motherboard.

You're absolutely right but when one ponders upon the "Used Cell Phone Market", easy way is checking model via recovery but to be 100% sure, one can check the mobo to be damn sure
TY for that :good:

This phone is a 1:1 replica of the Samsung Galaxy S4, it has Air gestures,Air View, Smart Stay.
The phone has the same specifications to the HDC Galaxy S4 Legend, the only difference is that Legend has 2 sensors whereas Spark has only one (it cant understand if the air motion is coming from left or right) also Legend has OGS, whereas Spark dosent.
Other than that they are basicly the same phone, I couldnt find any thread about this phone, nor could i find any custom ROM's.
I dont want to risk bricking it by trying to flash it with a Legend ROM, so I came here for help.
Has anyone had any success flashing it?
I will flash my Spark as soon as it arrives
I'll try Legend Rom and No.1 S6 Rom

Alright, please post here on how it went.
Tried to flash -fluffy- ROM, got a soft brick
I tried No.1 S6 rom and it did not boot. The LED blinks blue and the display turns on, but no logo... And after a while the phone turns off
Fortunately, I made a backup and restaured my phone successfuly
Actualy there is a rom for hdc galaxy spark on needrom.
but i've got no luck using that rom. Everything works fine except i can't make a phone call,texting, or connect to the internet, but maybe that rom works for you guys, you can give it a try

For your information: SPFlash Tools only works this way:
1) Turn the phone off
2) Take the battery out
3) Open SPFlashTools as administrator (right click -> run as administrator)
4) Click on "Scatter-Loading" and choose the Scatter File
5) Click on "Firmware -> Upgrade"
6) ONLY THEN, connect the phone, WITHOUT THE BATTERY, on the USB
7) Insert the battery
8) SPFlash Tools should start the upgrade process
YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THESE STEPS, NECESSARILY IN THIS ORDER, otherwise, it will not work, ok?

Thanks I swapped out ports and cables and got it to flash. None of the air features work sadly. I used the s4 spark from needrom. I did make a backup of the original so i can reload it back. When I did a factory reset on this phone it wiped the imei. There wasn't a sticker under the battery or anything in the box. FCT tells me they dont keep a record of the imei of the phones they sell so I'm screwed. Not sure what to do since in all my reading I have come to the conclusion that without a backup of the efs its gone. pisses me off its a sweet little phone for the price I paid.

Buy an old samsung phone at e-bay and use its IMEI...
For some reason Spark gets no love here. I am folowing a thread on a russian forum, a guy is working on a Rom right now. Il post if it comes out and if I flash it.
If you get a link for that rom just send it to me I will flash it and post results. Cant use the phone anyway currently so I'm not worried about bricking it since I have an s4 active as my primary.

hello
i have clone phone like s4 and i dont know if this is a spark can you help me please
thank you.

I was trying to install a custom ROM and did not know I needed an unlocked bootloader, as I used ROMs on a S4 without doing any extra work.
Anyway, so when I attempted that, my Optimus L9 rebooted and gave me the LG logo with the "Security Error" words below it. It's stuck on that now. I tried using the LG Mobile Support Tool, but it gets stuck on downloading new software. The progress bar disappears quickly, so I'm sure it's not downloading.
I tried leaving it to download for around 45 minutes, but it was stuck on the same screen when I came back, with no progress bar. It can't be that it's taking long, I have decent Internet (150/75). I'm afraid of leaving it for hours as the device does heat up.
Is there ANYTHING I can do? I tried calling LG and the woman who was there to help me was rude and treated me like an idiot, only to give me the solution of sending it in. PLEASE help me!!

It's always best to include your device model when asking questions like this. There are four models of the L9 and the all have different quirks.
A factory hard-reset or use the 'Recovery' option in the LG Support tool. Only things I can think of at the moment with a lack of details.
Did you back anything up? If not, not much else to do other than try what I've suggested.
This post may also be of some interest.
Advice::
Never assume anything. Research is your friend I had an LG Optimus One, was easy to mod, root, etc. I bought this L9 ( P769 ) on the assumption that it would be similar. Boy was I wrong. However, I did the research before attempting to do anything with the L9.

I really regret doing what I did :crying:. It's definitely a huge lesson for me.
My model: LG Optimus L9 MS769 (back cover says P769?)
If a factory hard-reset means holding the home button, voIume UP button, and power button, then I already did that but I did not reach the robot.
In the LG support tool, after I enter S/W upgrade mode, it says the software version is V10D and that there is an upgrade available. When I start the upgrade, it goes through the first step but when I get to the second step, it doesn't download I think. I have an image but I can't link to it since I have under 10 posts.

Their network is horribly slow. I've heard of people waiting 2 hours. In addition the tool appears to freeze. However, it's still operating.
I don't prefer this method because of the time.
Learn how to use the unofficial fastboot & offline flash.
Or just keep waiting for that program to finish.

So it's normal? The reason I thought otherwise was because when I searched, I saw 0 people with the stuck/long download issue and figured it was just me. I didn't want to risk my device even further as I am aware that it has been soft-bricked, so there is a little hope available. Should I let it sit for 3-4 hours and let it over-heat?
I attempted the fastboot method but my device was not showing under the Devices section. I do not have a "Other Devices" section when I get to the step.
I am trying the offline flash method now, although I can't find a working V10D KDZ.

At this point you don't have anything else to loose. I honestly can't say yes or no. I think all pertinent partitions will be updated to the newer version. I've never used this method so I cannot say 100%.

As in LG Support Tool? No I don't think it will since your phone has been altered with unofficial methods. I could be wrong tho.
Just realized something else strange, IMHO, my P769 came with Android 4.1.2 ( JellyBean ) and you say you were on stock ICS?
Just out of curiosity was it a WalMart purchase? They're still advertised as having ICS 4.0.4. Last update I got was to from V20G to V20H which is what I'm on now.

I mean that in order for the KDZ flash to work you must do some edits in the host file so that you can do the offline fix, I did it but it won't work as the tool crashes while connecting to the device.
My device also came with 4.1.2. It did not come with ICS. But when I open the support tool it says V10D. I bought my L9 from an official MetroPCS store

Yep. Hurry up and right click on it before it disappears and select "Update Driver". You need to manually point Device Manager to the usb_driver folder in the fastboot tools folder. You may have to do that a couple times. If successful, unplug USB from device wait a couple seconds and plug back in. This will reinstall the drivers just in case they didn't take the first time.

Hi Joseph CZ, I'm happy to help.
I'm not sure of what you are asking for, do you want to move/copy your files from SD to internal? Can you elaborate it?
Cheers.

Hi Joseph CZ, perhaps you could try with adb via USB (from SDK tools), I'm not sure, though.
I think the easiest way is rooting and moving what you want...

you can try cmahendra sir's 2 in 1 guide or if you can, go service centre, tell them that a update (0TA) showed, AND THEN this is happening. they will.install software for you. as warranty is over, they might charge (5$ here) for software work. I did a hell lot deep **** then you, kept working 6 hours, but wasn't able to fix the phone,went service centre and now typing via same phone.
Ill try that

man service centre, like you have for Nokia, Samsung etc, you can Google LG mobile service centre around your locality,.
doesn't matter it's metro or p778,768,765,760 etc etc etc.
as your warranty is over, you have no fear of them saying warranty void, as ultimately they will charge for the software transaction.
and I know how it feels to see your phone dying on you.
JUST DONT LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT ROOTING /BL/FASTBOOT .act like a dumb and tell them that you were trying to update your software by the wifi (software update OTA) and now this happened.
sweet talks makes way everywhere.

Hi @Aristodikos1, you have an option for installing the drivers in the LG Tool (up- left corner). If the on line tool sees your L9 that's enough, just follow the steps : Update / Tools / Upgrade recovery.
I'm not on my computer right now.

I was trying to update busybox through just their free apk (available on play store) . so I was installing it I select advance option and also choose non recommend applets . I found after finishing installation my phone was take more time to wake from screen off . I understand that I made a great done .because nothing like this was happened before in stock ROM . I tried to reboot it but stuck at my own added custom animation . as usual I try to go to recovery and delete this animation file . but now I stuck recovery start up text BUILD :RA THUNDER GNM.
God of android come here to help me please
I do not have 250 Rupees to pay them .?
Why can't you use kdz?
I think that you may be able to use it with the bootloader.
Edit: I found out what you need to do.
First, you need to boot to emergency mode.
Instructions are here, it's the same for the Optimus One, so no need to worry.
http://www.ehow.com/how_12314778_boot-emergency-mode-optimus-t.html
Update: Here are more complete instructions.
Make sure you have installed the LG drivers, and you have the kdz file (full image, not just modem).
How to Flashing LG Optimus One back to Original Firmware
Turn off your cellphone
Press and hold Volume[+] + Power + Back buttons, until your Optimus boot in emergency mode
Connect LG Optimus One to PC (via USB)
tips: maybe it`s a little strange to do, but you can try to shake the phone if it can`t detect.
Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
Select Type : 3GQCT
Select PhoneMode : DIAG
tips: if this option failed try EMERGENCY or CS_EMERGENCY
At KDZ Files section, select firmware that you already download
Click launch software update button
tips: someone say that it`s good idea to shake your optimus one with gently to avoid stuck.
Wait until it`s done, unplug the usb cable
Press and hold Volume[-] + HOME + Power buttons
See the firmware version, congratulation you did it.
If you don't have the files, I'll post links for you to download them.

Yes, I did so half a year ago, to update my LG Optimus P500H.
Unfortunately there was no update in Israel, and it's firmware was at one of our cellular providers (Pelephone), so I had to use this method to flash a different country's unlocked firmware (some european firmware, I forget which) with the same bands support in the modem, before flashing CM7.1 and TWRP.
It's just been a long time, that's why I didn't remember how to do it.

It should work with with all P500's, restrictions or no restrictions, it doesn't matter.
I will test on this Sunday. When my laptop comes to home. By the way if it works I promise I will give you 100 Rupiya as donation.
Steps:
1. Turn Off Any Virus Protection Software
2. Download MP26010j_00_0316.kdz To Flash Your Phone Back To Stock
3. Install LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0.exe
4. Next Install LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3.msi
5. Make Sure That You Have Your Phone Connected (Take Battery Out Then Put It Back In Hold Volume Up And Connect With Micro USB) So LGUP Can Be Able To Recognize It
6. Then Double Click UPPERCUT.exe to open up LGUP Now But Only Thing Is That Uppercut will try to verify just ignore and if it doesn't open up just open lgup from desktop and its going to view phone as unknown
7. Unplug Phone But Keep LG Download Mode On And Exit LGUP
8. Open LGUP First And Then Connect Phone Which Should Recognize Phone As MP260
9. Click Upgrade, Make Sure That Bin Is Checked And Select File MP26010j_00_0316.kdz To Flash And Click Start
10. Your Done! Video Coming Soon

I figured I'd post this here to, because I am thinking about getting this phone. It's $99 at metro pcs right now, that's really hard to pass up.
In a twrp+root thread there are some that cannot get root, with the last LG firmware update, so I'm guessing this is a soft brick as apposed to a hard brick.
So, had a question.
If in the case of the like 10% of the people that do this root, the phone won't root or bricks, if I get this phone and and that happens, is it possible to flash the phone via the LG program, with a KDZ file and go back to stock like in this thread? If so I will probably buy this phone tomorrow (crosses fingers the kdz trick will work)
From looking at the videos, it looks as if the LG program is similar to the Samsung Odin program as far as flashing goes, am I correct in this?

I know this thread has not been active for a while. However I have a Metro LG K20 Plus phone and want to change the firmware to T-Mobile. I have not been successful doing this as I always get invalid firmware, because LG UP recognizes the phone as a metro phone. Is there a way to succeed in getting the T-Mobile firmware on the phone?
thanks in advance.

Did you find any answers to this? I have one that is bricked. It will not show up when connected to a computer at all
Virus warning from Avira in Uppercut
lg k20 plus soft bricked?
So I've searched high and low and have tried suggestion after suggestion with no avail. To start things off, I have a soft bricked LG k20 plus. Everything was working fine until the other day when I went to flash a kernel, and when the phone restarted, the screen was a dark grey/black color. I rooted the devices using massis method, removed SU and then rooted using Magisk. Like I said everything was working fine and for whatever reason I decided to try a different kernel. That's when it all went downhill. So now when I turn the phone on, the screen is still blank but it vibrates. When I've connected it to a computer, on my Mac it doesn't show up with ADB or FASTBOOT but in my device tree it comes up as LGE Android device. I borrowed my friends laptop since it runs windows, and my Mac is a dinosaur. ADB doesn't pick it up either, but in a USB hub it says the same thing, LGE Android device and lower down it comes up as TP-LINK. Now tryin to use LG Flash tools doesn't work, LGUP doesn't see my device, and when I tried to extract the KZD file, when I go to select it from the list there is no file to choose. Since I can't see anything on my screen, I can't tell if I'm in download mode, bootloader, etc, but in my device tree sometimes my phone will pop up an bootloader interface and I can use fastboot commands. When I was last able to see my screen, yes, USB debugging was on, I had a recovery, but since I can't see anything on my screen I can't seem to boot into recovery. If I could I would wipe cache and all. I think I may have read too many article and suggestions as to what to do because nothing seems to be working, and don't seem to find anything else related closely enough to my issue. Anyone have a clue as to where I should start? I'll have to give my friend back her laptop soon, and since my mac is so old, and the whole PC vs Mac feud, my computer won't be of much help. Any advice my hair strands would greatly appreciate before they rest are pulled out lol
