i downloaded the fw 27c and tried to extract the dz and happened the same issue, so i guess the problem is te software, but i dont know what a i need, any advice?
I now Know after this weekend experiment of re-creating identical conditions on which this worked, I learned that while in 9008 mode, flash #1 with all sprint files (the ones this thread are about) afterwards remove battery then reinsert then volume up + connect, resulted in fastboot. then I removed battery then flashed after replacing the sprint stuff with verizon, then removed battery, then replace battery, then volume up + connect resulted in download mode. then flashed 27c.kdz by mistake because the device was on 28A. So instead of reviving I re-bricked. Improper downgrade I guess. If I used the files from 28a instead of 27c. I think i'd be sucessful. Long story after 2 flashes with the sprint patch&raw I was unable to revive even using the files from 28A. 2 times to blow the fuse. WHO EVER IS READING THIS PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION. I'm still in the LabThere are things which are important when it comes to using this method
first of all there are no infected files out there. at least none I'm aware of and you can believe me I know a little about this topic.
the next thing is that it highly depends on what files you are using because they are device specific! I don't say they would not work though but they will make your phone a different one.
there is NO universal one package available to unbrick all device models with the same files! This is just imposssible.
There is one method available which is able to convert any G4 and for this just check my PoC thread in the G4 forum.
It's not possible to make all this without device specific files because you flash parts of the bootloader stack and those are always device specific.
I haven't looked into your files here yet but when they work for both device models then your files are converting ones which means either it will convert to ls991 or it will convert to vs986 depending on what files you have. I strongly believe you have those for the ls991.
I can say that I have all of them and I investigated then in deep.
There are some rare for ex for the H815 which work without converting and without blowing the fuses. But there some named as h815 but containing converting to ls991.
Keep in mind that converting a device this way may be irreversible depending on the files used.
If you blow efuses you're lost and its not possible to have your previous device model back again. Well ok when you buy a new mainboard then.. But that's the only way.
I just want to warn users especially bc I'm working on a safe way for converting a device forward and backwards.
When you have a vs986 and used that method: you should bring your device in fastboot mode. Check the serial. Does it starts with LGLS991....? Then you converted the device.
