No they replace the mother board Lg prob couldn't fix it either if they tried....
Only other option is to buy mother boards online but you never know what your getting into there either frp locked,blacklisted, or worse

The man you contacted is the closest your going to get to fixing it I have tried everything possible from other devices And all. I even have debrick images made but no good without a programmer flasher like wilcracker or qfil I even have
the .elf firhose bins. plus loads of other files I have been in this situation many times any loads of devices, Even got jtag sets but no pinout diagrams. As of rite now it is a lost cause....
Not trying to deter any one but trust me when I say I have nearly 100 hours into fixing a ls991 and very little closer than when I started,
Also have tried sd card brick fixes no go I have tried to get the community involved but there are not enough hard bricked to get enough heads together on it...
Best thing is to put it in a drawer and google ls991 hardbrick fix once a month.... I gave up and tore mine down for parts for lcd on my verizon g5 keep in mind the bottom chin is not compatible with any other g5 either

ok, just one more question.
are the other careers main board compatible with my ls992 ?
if it is i'll buy screen cracked H820 or H830 or us992 and will swap the boards.

Hi, i dont know the firmware order, i have ZVF, would downgrade firmware brick mi phone?
Thanks!

As noted in multiple prior posts, unfortunately as the saying goes, you are SOL ;(.... It happened to me too. Had to return my phone which came with ZVF and send out multiple requests to multiple ebay sellers to finally get a pre ZVC version.

Best phone to get is the one with the ZV4 or earlier since you can root them. Good luck finding those. People that have those do not want to give them up. I have my old samsung s4 with the original early firmware and o/s and completely rooted with numerous modifications. I am obviously not going to sell it anytime.

There is at this point no hope of a workaround. The workaround is to return that phone and buy another one and make sure to ask seller about the firmware version before buying. The older firmware phones are out there, but not common since most people just blindly let there phone do all the autoupdates. But they are out there and you just have to work a little to get it.
