Stuck on Setup after TOT Restore for the Sprint LG G4
I ran into a problem after I followed the steps to restore my LG G4. Now I cant get through the setup process without it returning me to "Set Internet Connection screen". I have a video of this happening but I'm unable to post the link because I'm a new user.
It still returned me to the same screen after I connected to my home wifi and entered my google account info that I last used on there. I also have a video of this.

Possibly try restoring again?

Any way of using this TOT method after flashing the US991 firmware? I keep getting "DoDownload Error!!!"

Ive tried restoring again and got the same result. Also, when I first ran the flash tool I got a "DBMS" window with four options. After doing some research I found out that this shouldn't be happening. So I made sure that the new MegaLock.ddll was being replaced but i still got the same window.

By pass DLL
I had the same problem and can fix it, you have to download this file and put it in the DLL option in LG Flash Tool, with TOT Sprint.

I'm not encountering that error but I keep getting "DoDownload Error!!!". When given the choice for DBMS, I tried both Korea one, and the Global one. I've read that I shouldn't be getting that prompt in the first place.

You need to download a hex editor and change the header of the tot file from the LS991 to the US991 version. When flashing use the board DL mode, not upgrade mode. Hope this helps.
Search for 991 and look for VLGLS991 and LS991ZV5_05, change it to your US991 file name. In the picture i modified it for the verizon rom I flashed. Yours will be different since you flashed the US991 version. Good Luck

Thanks, I tried this. It flashed but when the phone automatically rebooted, I got the download error on the flash tool. Is that normal? The phone booted properly but I haven't played around it yet. Will let you guys know after I played around with it.

If it flash pass 80% and phone reboot then you are good. Glad it work for you

Thanks, btw for those that tried this method. Is /carriers/app still in your phone? I can only find an empty /carrier directory.
EDIT: NVM, I tried inserting my non US GSM SIM and it's already being recognized. Will try if I'll have data.
EDIT2: Data is now working. I'm outside US.

maybe your phone its not a h811 . only way to make sure is to take out motherboard and read model number in mb plate.

And lastly we need the 8994 dll here-------------------
https://mega.nz/#!VhpDxKoI!Mo0LcQOVOjcM337Vs2X87KoEMvE3HApYgpFNMYEl4XU
So install lgup and all the .dlls
and open the patch and navigate it to wherever LGup is installed......
Run the patch.....
And like the thread says Profit.......
But I am in the process of dumping my k540 rite now.....
There is currently no way to flash dump partitions back.... As LGup crashes.....
Also the dump files are in a com# format to even think about using them they need to be in a .MBN format
But its a start boys and girls.....
Also as a side note Be carefule as this can brick your device if you go flashing PRLs and chip erases and such....

Some assistance is needed.

T-Mobile Apps on a BYOD SM-920A

I have a phone I brought over to T-Mobile. An Unlocked SM-920A from AT&T. There is a must have feature I need from T-Mobile to get the T-Mobile Signal Booster to work. The signal booster works fine but, my ATT phone does not recognize or see the device because it does not have the T-Mobile apps on it. Is there a way to make this happen?

My Advice
If ​If I was you I would do a clean install with stock firmware for T-Mobile... You can find the Firmware at sammobile.com download usb drivers for android and latest version of odin on your pc... you can get them at Samsung.com take your phone and go to device info in settings.... tab on the build number 7 times to open developer options... go into dev options turn on oem unlock and enable usb debugging then do a full backup on a cloud server of your choice or on your pc... wherever you feel comfortable.... Then power your phone off and wait about three or four minutes then hold power vol up and home all together until your phone goes into recovery mode... once in there delete partition wipe cache... now your phone is just like a pc with no operating system... take the firmware you downloaded and unzip it until you haveyou the individual tar or md5 files.... unzip and install odin on your pc... be sure to let it run as admin .... I kmow yousaid you know about pc systems so you should know what I'm talking about... if not right click on the odin exe file and click open as admin load your unzipped files into the corresponding places in odin AP PIT ..... you should not need to change any settings.... Make sure you installed the usb drivers you downloaded earlier.... take your phone hold power vol down and home till a blue screen pops warning about installing custom roms.... push up to go in download mode... take and tether your phont to your pc with usb cable you prob use to charge your phone.... after its tethered odin should turn light blue or yellow in COM 1 and say your connected... now just clickstart and let odin work his magic... if you put the files in correctly you should have a new phone with all T Mobile Firmware in a couple minutes you will see a progress bar on your phone as odin is flashing the rom When done restart your phone as normal and enjoy the correct firmware for your phone... if you screw up I'm not even sure if you can use your backup as a recovery from a clean install... I have nrver needed it.... Hope that helps I sent a friend request so if you have any questions message me,,,,,, Later

I have the same phone SM-G920AUCU6EQCF thats with android 7.0... I have not installed the update to 7.0.1 yet because I can not find a way to root it yet.. So I am going to try to downgrade to the stock 5.0.1 so I can root and install TWRP recovery I do know that if you go in developer mode and turn on the OEM unlock thats your bootloader.... then you can unlock your phone so you can add rom for any carrier... refer to thread here in forumns about how to do that... then just follow my instructions and it should work. I did make one mistake in my instructions... Dont mess with PIT settings just 4 files BL CS AP CSC to load in odin

Oem unlock only "enables" bootloader unlocking. You still need an actual unlock method. There has never been one for g920a to my knowledge...

So, basically, there is no way I can get these ATT apps removed and get T-Mobile's installed?>

heres your method

This appears to be a carrier unlock site, not a bootloader unlock method.

unlock code SM-G920A
Hi DAVID,
Your unlock code: 06472606
Unlock instructions:
1. Turn off your Galaxy.
2. Take the AT&T SIM out of the slot
3. Insert the SIM from the other wireless carrier.
4. Power the phone back on.
5. When the phone prompts, provide the unlock code that you received from AT&T
6. Complete the remaining setup process by following the displayed instructions.
7. Start using your Galaxy normally.
Im not 100% sure this will work on your phone because I gave them my IMEI number but its not registered so it cant hurt to try good luck I didn't even need that mines unlocked already just trying to help you out send me your IMEI if it don't work ill get you the correct code

I have the same phone SM-G920AUCU6EQCF thats with android 7.0... I have not installed the update to 7.0.1 yet because I can not find a way to root it yet.. So I am going to try to downgrade to the stock 5.0.1 so I can root and install TWRP recovery I do know that if you go in developer mode and turn on the OEM unlock thats your bootloader.... then you can unlock your phone so you can add rom for any carrier... refer to thread here in forumns about how to do that... then just follow my instructions and it should work. I did make one mistake in my instructions... Dont mess with PIT settings just 4 files BL CS AP CSC to load in odin

Were you successful in your attempt to downgrade back to the original 5.01? Mine has as baseline of 6.01. But, I can't find any of the original stock OEM files to attempt it myself. Was really curious if you were successful in your quest?
Thanks and have a great day!
