I have a sprint LG G2, LG flashtool thinks its a T-mobile LG G2. It previosuly had a mixed rom of sprint+T-mobile (to use it as a GSM device). Is there a way to manually change my model in LG flashtool so it accepts the sprint .dll and .TOT

Anyone? I flashed the T-Mobile stock .TOT and now the phone is very unstable. It keeps rebooting every couple minutes and will not turn off

you can try editing build.prop in pc with notepad++ to say it's model is ls980 and then try and see if you can flash?

I GOT IT!!! I kept trying and finally was able root and pull build.prop with ADB. I found a sprint LG G2 build.prop here on XDA, I pushed that one on the phone and then went into download mode and flashed sprint .tot and .dll with LG Flashtool. Thanks man!!!!

Just tried using that dll you provided in combo with the sprint .tot im getting this error message:

I can help you. I need original dll for your phone. i made some changrs and you flash your g2 with tot method. Read my post on 4PDA. I am from Ukraine. Sorry for my english.
