[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DudeThatsErin:
This is not working for me. I get it to open up just fine and I get to the "READY!" and then unplug the USB and wait 5+ seconds and then plug it back in and nothing happens.

I've tried several different ways to get this to work and it doesn't seem to be working.

I've tried...

keeping the g3 unplugged until it says "READY!" then plugging it in and waiting 2-3 minutes.

keeping the g3 plugged in and then unplugging it for 5-8 seconds then plugging it back in and waiting 2-3 minutes

turning off my g3 and keeping it that way until it says "READY!" then putting it in download mode and waiting 2-3 seconds.

Can someone please help me? I can't get past the "READY!" screen.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
For those who have the correct flash DLL and firmware TOT files and it's failing, try disconnecting from the internet and setting your system date to any day in January 2012, then open the LG Flash Tool and try again.

1. Disconnect from the internet and set system date back to January 2012.

2. Launch LG Flash Tool and click OK if you get a language dialog.

3. Click the "Select Manual Mode" checkbox.

4. For the "DLL" box click the "..." button and choose the flash .dll file for your phone model.

5. For the "S/W" box click the "Add" button and select the firmware .tot file for your phone model.

6. Keep the "UPGRADE DL" action mode and "USB" connection mode radio buttons selected, and click OK to close the Model Config dialog.

7. Boot your phone into Download Mode by holding the [Volume Up] key and then plugging in the USB cable to the computer.

8. Open your Device Manager, and under "Ports (COM & LPT)" right click your device's USB Serial Port and choose "Properties" from the context menu.

9. Click "Port Settings" then "Advanced" and change the "COM Port Number" to "COM41" and click "OK" and "OK" again.

10. Click the Yellow arrow button on the top left of the main window. It will perform some checks and say "READY!!" when it's ready for the next step.

11. While your device is still connected to the computer, remove your battery from the phone and then put it back in and press the [Volume Up] key to return to Download Mode.

12. Your phone should now begin the firmware installation progress and when it's finished will say "Pass" in the LG Flash Tool.

13. Close the LG Flash Tool, unplug your phone from the computer, and remove/replace your battery one last time. Then power on and you should be back to stock.

14. Set your system date to the current date. ;) You're done.

Drivers

When I plug my G3 into the computer it shows up in the other devices section of device manager not ports. I installed the LG united mobile driver but it keeps coming back as other device. Please help!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Does it show up with an exclamation point on it under Other Devices? When you right click on it and select Properties, what does it say in the Device Status text area? You may have a driver conflict. Try uninstalling all of the LG drivers from your system from Add/Remove Programs and then restart and then look through the Device Manager and for any LG related items, right click and select Uninstall, then click OK. Restart your system again. Then install the LG United Mobile Driver and restart again. Then plug in your phone and make sure you allow it to look on Windows Update as well as your installed drivers to fill in the missing pieces.

Model information check fails

Hi There,

i am also having the same issue when trying to unroot/unbrick my g3.

I have a LG G3 D855 16GB with sw version V10h-EUR-XX.

I ve tried already two different tot files, both for 16GB model. One was V10a-EUR and the other V10e-EUR, both give me the same message in LG Flash Tool (version 1.8.6.527) "Model information check fails". I downloaded these tots files and also the dll file (LGD855_20140526_LGFLASHv160.dll) several times from different sources.

I am getting frustrated cause I can get it to work.

Any help would very appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Btw: I also tried unbricking with .kdz files, but no success either.

I have tested various methods in the to flash back to the stock firmware Kit Kat 4.4.2 without any success. I have tried the .TOT method with the correct files and also the model information bypass .dll ( LGUP_8974.dll) and the .KDZ method.

1) Where I am getting stuck on the .TOT method is: Model Information Check FAIL!

2) Where I am getting stuck on the .TOT method with the bypass model check is:

Error: [14: 622] CrossDL [] to D851. SWversion

3) Where I am getting stuck at using the .KDZ method is during the S/W Upgrade is in progress , ALWAYS stops at 4 % !

I've tried this 50 times at least, it always stops at 4% no matter how long I wait or how many times I select Retry, I get the same error pictured above.

Can someone please offer any help what to try or where to go next, I'm stumped! I just want the phone to boot up and work lol, Kit Kat or Lollipop, it doesn't matter, just a working LG G3 for T-Mobile back functioning.

If you can't find the correct files, try the ones here: http://lgg3root.com/lg-g3-stock-factory-firmware/

Also I can't stress how important it is to try different USB ports or computers if you're receiving error messages in the flash tool. For me it worked to just switch USB-ports and then it worked perfectly fine. However it took me three different ports on my computer until it finally worked. For those of you who also don't have the original LG cable: I used a regular Amazon basics 1.8m USB cable for 6€.

Ok, so all it took was to try it on another computer. Followed all the steps, disconnected from the internet before I started installing everything from scratch. Not sure if that did anything but I read somewhere to do so, so I did.

I was worried because when I plugged in the phone it still said that the MTP drivers were not installed correctly. Went through the whole process and it worked. Learned my lesson. Worst part is that I'm not new to this, but this is how you learn some times. Thanks!

Lg flash tool show it can't detect the device model

What can I do I can't enter recovery mode only download mode
[General Topics] ey143:
When using the XDA Mini S, be it with the old version ROM and the newly released one in April 2006, when dialing a number I cannot enter a pause command (the small p which most phones like Nokia can produce when you hold down the * button for a few seconds).

The international plus symbol works by holding down the zero button for 1 second, thereby omitting the "0" number.

This is really annoying because I program my landline phones and other mobiles with the pause button to make use of special dialing numbers before I dial international numbers. In any case, all phones except the XDA/HTC have this ability.

Can anyone assist or know a way of getting a pause command to work?

Thanks.

Hi guys,

Thank you for your info.

I tried to disable contact sync of Viber and I think the message has temporarily gone. Sometimes it still pop up but not as often as before I disabled the contact sync of Viber.

Apparently, this problem is caused by contact synchronisation between Viber, Facebook, Messenger, Whatsapp, etc. Other users, such as Samsung phone users, reported that they have the same issue but when they turned off contact sync of the above-mentioned apps, the error message somehow has gone.

To be honest, I have just recently switched to android from iPhone, and I have been usings iOS for years and never seen any kind of issue/error like this on iOS. However, Sony Z2 is one of the greatest phone I ever owned and I am so happy with it, specially its crazy battery life.

Hope you guys will share your solution here if someone can fix it permanently.

i had this problem, amongst others stopping my phone. i pulled the sim card out, then rebooted the phone. the phone then showed it was updating all apps i let it boot up and it seemed to work. pulled battery and put sim card back in. and all ok so far. i have sent my phone 3 times away to vodafone for this repair, with android.clock stopping, android.phone stopped working and the phone actually crashing on the samsung screen and not even booting up. each time all they do is a factory reset. like duhhhh, i have never thought of that (sarcasm). i am hoping that doing this, will give my phone some sort of permanency in it's repair. i have not rooted the phone, it is stock.

Vodofone refused to replace the handset even though it had been in so many times for repair. word of advice. steer clear of vodafone. i am cancelling all my contracts with them.
