Hey there,
I've gone and done a stupid thing and flashed my LG G3 (D850) with a custom ROM without checking my sources. The ending result is I'm stuck with a phone that only goes into Download mode or Fastboot mode now normally this would not be a problem; as I would just use the LG Flashtool to flash the stock TOT. Now I have the right files (DLL and TOT) for my model but when I flashed the phone the first time it erased the model number info on the phone. Is there a way to rewrite it or recover it? If you guys have any advice on how to continue from this point I would be very grateful Included are the pictures from the LG Flashtool.
Thanks in advance,

(Replace the "XX" with tt, I'm new so I can't post links)
Update!: I got it working with the Model info bypass DLL (LGUP_8974.DLL) Just remember to switch the Lg FlashTool from "Update DL" to "Board DL"

Good to know. I had the same problem with trying to flash the TOT to my G3, but I was still able to access recover, so I just wiped all the partitions from there and then I was able to flash it just fine. What I had done before was try to flash a ROM ported from another G3 variant which claimed to work with mine... it didn't.
good nights and days that have this problem I want to go back to Stock 4.4.2 48a but I get this error can be?
model information check fail
00000000
factory model check error
that injection can lead this?
black listed?

48A is 6.0.
4.4.2 is KitKat
Try searching threads on here. It took me a LOT of digging, but I found the answers. Every way that something went wrong for someone on here, minus bricking my device, happened every time I tried to root. the .kdz method absolutely would not work for me. the .tot method, however, worked with lg flash tool but the .dll file being lgup8975 from the .zip of the same name as stated in the previous stately statement, but then again, what state is your phone in. is it happy?

I'm also trying to downgrade from 48A.
Did you mean lgup8974.dll? I can't seem to find lgup8975 anywhere, and I get the same error with lgup8974. I've tried following every guide I could find, as well as improvising, all to no avail. I'm about ready to offer of $50 to anyone who can successfuly downgrade my phone...
Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. Phone is VS985WK... Guess I'll just have to sell/trade it...

You can use the 31B dll file to restore or as in my case i flashed 24B KDZ that worked for me
Hi There,
I just find that my IMEI disappeared, I guess I need to downgrade to 10b to recovery it, correct me if I'm wrong.
Unfortunately I don't have it in my computer.
I'm just wondering that if I still can find it some where on the internet.
Cheers

I tried to crossflash my G8X to the US Open A11 software and screwed up quite badly during the process. I've had to restore my phone from having no partitions and do not have the original LUN5 files, only the 7 required for the crossflash. I've also rooted and installed twrp on this device so if anything that could help needs that I'm able to use it.
I expected the fingerprint sensor not to work, however now the light sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, etc. don't work either.
Is there something I can do to get this functionality back? I've mostly given up on fixing the imei and network issues but I would like to at least have the phone in a usable state on Wifi.
If more details are needed please do tell and I will do my best to provide them.

What original firmware was on it?Most definitely,always make a full back up first thing.

It was originally on version 20p of the sprint software. And yeah, I definitely hadn't quite read up on all of the important things I needed to backup beforehand.

The same thing happened to me, I came from a10 sprint and installed a11 from Canada, I was left without a network and without a fingerprint sensor, but the other sensors work without problem, to fix network and ntcode I think it is only possible by box, I don't know if of the fingerprint sensor is caused by the lack of serial and imei.
if you come up with a solution let me know bro

Did you restore your 7 bin files after flashing the A11 software?

They don't have a backup,that's the reason I ask what version software it was.

I have the backup of the 7 partitions but they are useless if all the original partitions have been deleted, that is what I understand, I restored the partitions of a KDZ a10 and then flashed it to a11

I've got version 30c of that firmware installed, you think going back one update would fix it?

When you flashed the A10 kdz, you followed netmsm's guide right? Did you get any errors when flashing the partitions with fhloader? When I extracted the kdz a few files were missing from the ones used by that code but every kdz I've extracted doesn't have them either.

Yes,go to 30b it will all work.I tried 30c on my sprint model,and had issues with network connectivity as well.

yes, the netmsm's guide, fhloader only use it to restore the luns, restore the kdz partitions one by one with qfil, just try what Surgemanxx suggested first and tell me how it goes.

It works very well.I tried 30c,and noticed it was slow and laggy and rolled back to 30b and it worked flawless.Fingerprint scanning and all worked with a T-Mobile sim with no issues.They should be good with 30b,all but the IMEI issue they have.
All right I completely erased the flash again and reinstalled following the steps very carefully. I'm now on 30b and can confirm that the sensors work once again. Although the major issues I think were deeper than just the update, because I updated before doing a full erase and it still wasn't working. Now I just have to keep trying to fix the IMEI and FP sensor.
Also I think I may have found my IMEI number thanks to having the ftm partition backed up and therefore still having the serial number. The first 8 digits are always 35886110 for the LG G8x sprint model (and maybe others in the US), the next 6 are the last 6 digits of the serial and the last one is a check digit that you can look up online. I've checked the number on multiple sites and it seems legit so I hope it's actually my number. Now I'll try to write it to the phone somehow, but at least having the IMEI back is a very big step forward.
IMEI is fixed, or at least it appears as such in the phone. I went through with the tutty method of installing the IMEI, and after much trouble (and tutty saying error to my command to write the IMEI) I was able to restore the IMEI to the phone. I confirmed this first using EFS Pro and going into qualcomm NV tools. The IMEI was still as 0 in my phone but after putting in a sim it appeared in the OS and has stayed there. However it still appears as permanently locked when a sim is inserted and the nt-code error does still happen, so the network doesn't work yet.

That LUNS backup is for the Sprint U.S. model G850UM9.The IMEI is stored in modemst1 and 2 which is LUNS5 that I didn't include for that reason.The NT Code error shouldn't be there if it's the same model/region.Keep me posted.

I've flashed your backups and the NT Code error indeed disappeared. However I've still got the perm locked error (so my doesn't work), and the fp sensor still refuses record fingerprints. Was your phone network unlocked when you made that backup? Idk if that maybe interferes with the sim or something

Yes,it was network unlocked for sure.You're not the only one that has faced this after trying to repair the IMEI.It's perma blocked because it's embedded in the chipset itself,and so far I haven't seen any fix for it as of yet.
