Were you currently running MM? If so you'd need to use LGUP
[G3 General] hyelton:
What do you mean? This does work.
[G3 General] Jwrath:
I have an LG G3 32Gb D85521A, which KZD should I download in order to downgrade to KitKat and root it?

Europe Common 16G D85510A_00.kdz is for the 16Gb version.

I'm currently downloading

Europe D85530B_00_1217.kdz,

Greece D85510L_00.kdz

Spain D85521A_00.kdz.

Will any of these work?
[G3 General] anotherbozo:
Wasn't using MM, still I used LGUP, setup went around ~80% to the point where it says phone reboot or reset, and then the phone just rebooted and got in a loop. Now I am stuck in a bootloop.

Also tried this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdRgCk1h-0E the whole of it completes but no luck with the phone.

The phone starts, LG logo, Android Man, restart, repeat. I tried recovery too (Volume down + power, release power and press power again), but the factory reset will also just send it on a boot loop again.

Any hope now?
[G3 General] AndroidxWolF:
Hi i followed everything there only a problem it says can't reboot to download mode idk why :/
[G3 General] hyelton:
Is the phone in download mode? And your using a USB 2.0 port correct?
[G3 General] AndroidxWolF:
I used a USB 3.0 and i can't go to download mode by pressing volume up bottom so i went to TWRP and hit reboot to "bootloader mode" that's what i've done :confused: :(
[G3 General] hyelton:
You Cannot use USB 3.0 it will give that exact error. You HAVE to use USB 2.0 and the phone has to be in download mode.

Hi! can you please help me? I can not unroot my LG G3 D850!

The tot method did not work.. I made a thread about my issue but nothing anybody said helped me :( Here is that post:

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/help/help-unrooting-att-lg-g3-d850-t3344408/post66032779#post66032779

Anyways here was my problem... When I plug my G3 into a 2.0 port (using a charger from LG, It's actually the one that came with my LG G4), nothing appears in the Ports section in the device manager, so I am unable to move forward. (and yes I had it in download mode)

Unless you can help me solve that issue, I would like to try the KDZ method, but I can't find the kdz file for the D850!

Thanks in advanced :)
[G3 General] hyelton:
Are you running Windows 8 or 10? If so that's why you need to unhide the communication ports. :)

You cannot use the kdz method. The D850 is TOT method only.
[G3 General] GuyInTheSky:
Windows 10. how do I unhide that?

---------- Post added at 05:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 PM ----------

Or I can just google it lol.

I need your opinion on something:

When I first rooted my G3 about a year ago, I had no idea what I was doing but is was still a success... I decided to install a camera modification that artificially makes the video look like it's in 60fps instead of 30. Unfortunately, it did not work. The camera app would instantly crash, and stupid me didn't backup the camera files, so I ended up flashing a new rom onto the device mainly to fix the camera... Again, I didn't backup anything and of course I soft bricked the phone. I was in a panic.

EVENTUALLY I fixed the phone and the camera, and had the phone running Lollipop 5.0.1. Ever since then, My phone had this issue where once the battery dies, or once I power off the phone, It will not turn back on, or even respond unless I pull the battery and reinsert it.

If I factory reset and unroot my phone, putting the stock firmware back onto it, could that fix my battery problem? Or is that permanent?

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

I enabled "Show hidden devices" but it still did not show up :crying:

It does show this though.

When I double click on it, it gives me this error:

{Unable to Load Device Driver}

%hs device driver could not be loaded.

Error Status was 0x%x"

I do have the required drivers installed.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Really strange. :/. Phone is in download mode correct ?

If your having battery issues that could be the actual battery. But going back to stock could refresh everything though and could fix it.
[G3 General] GuyInTheSky:
Yeah it was in download mode.

I'm just trying to sell it and I want it to be in the best condition possible, I'll just deduct the price a little bit and leave it up to the buyer to replace the battery or unroot it lol..

Thanks anyways, for the help :)
[G3 General] pwnagedroid:

[G3 General] hyelton:
Almost every flash will show "fail" anything after 80% is done flashing. If the phone shows no signs of life did you flash the correct model file?
[G3 General] pwnagedroid:
Hey friend, well here the situation i had Cm13 installed. I tried to roll back to the default firmware. But while following the steps i made sure to download the good .tot ( for d852 rogers) and the good .dll but something went wrong because the phone is hard bricked and doesn't turn on anymore :(
[G3 General] hyelton:
And you have a D852? And sure battery is not just dead?
[G3 General] pwnagedroid:
I have a d852(rogers) and i left the phone on the charge for 3 hours with no sign of life. And it shows as Qualcomm 9800 on my windows

need help lg G3 d850

I have followed above tot method for d850 but flash tools give error partition change 0000064 and phone now only boots to download mode only. previously it boots up fastboot mode

plz help me in this issue
[G3 General] WAusJackBauer:
Quick question, please reply ASAP

Just wanting to know for the D850, what files do I need for a proper flash other than the stock lollipop zip? I've heard you need the modem file but it's not in the stock lollipop zip.

patched20fboot.img? rpm.img? tz.img?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Everything is in the OP. You must use a tot file and lollipop is not available you must flash kitkat
[G3 General] WAusJackBauer:
I appreciate your fast response. There's no tot file or kdz file for the D850. I'm wanting to flash from KitKat to Lollipop which I've actually done before but had a few issues afterwards.

Just wanting to know what files I need to do a proper flash.
[G3 General] hyelton:
There is a tot file for the D850 just not kdz. You'd have to flash kitkat and OTA update to lollipop as long as you have an active att sim.
[G3 General] WAusJackBauer:
I live in Australia, so AT&T sim is out of the question.

Can you please link me where I can find the tot file for the D850? I don't see it anywhere :confused:
[G3 General] hyelton:
It's in the OP. On my storagecow link and in the AT&T folder. The two zipped files and inside is the TOT.
[G3 General] WAusJackBauer:
I understand there's a tot file for KitKat. But I'm wanting to install Lollipop.

I know exactly how to do it just want to confirm for sure what files I need from storagecow to do it 100% properly. OTA is now out of the question as I live in Australia and AT&T doesn't exist here.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Like I said earlier, only way is to OTA update.. Which you said you couldn't since your not in the USA. :/ So only way is to root and flash a stock based custom rom.
[G3 General] WAusJackBauer:
I understand everything you've said, all I need answered is my original question.

For the D850, what files do I need for a proper flash other than the stock lollipop zip? I've heard you need the modem file but it's not in the stock lollipop zip.

There's others on storagecow like patched20fboot.img? rpm.img? tz.img? Should I grab all the files and put them in a zip and then flash?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Sorry no clue as that is not factory stock. I don't keep up with root and non stock as I don't own the G3 anymore. You'd be better off posting in the Q&A for something like that. This guide is for using the tot and kdz official methods. Sorry couldn't help you with that.

Is there someone who knows if the LG Flash tool method works for marshmallow? I've reseted my phone with it before upgrading to MM, but now if I try it only gives me the Model Information Check Fail
[G3 General] hyelton:
You use LGUP if your on MM
[G3 General] I Nid 2P:
Thanks for the quick reply. Does it work with the D852 variant? Most of the guides I see says that its only for D855 variants.
[G3 General] hyelton:
It will be your only choice. If it doesnt then someone will need to make a dll file for that model.

Trying to get Sprint LG G3 LS990 with ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.6.2.20160130-ls990 (Marshmellow 6.0.1) back to stock but would love to avoid messing the phone up if I can. Looks like I have root and a working TWRP version 2.8.0.0.

From my probably limited searching, it looks like I need to use the TOT method but I wasn't convinced that was still working with Sprint phones and custom Marshmallow ROMs. Haven't been flashing stuff for a while so most of the terminology still sounds foreign to me.

For those wondering, I didn't actually know the phone I bought was off stock until I got home and done with the initial setup. Wouldn't have flashed it till I knew how to unflash it otherwise. Just need to get it back on stock to setup with my carrier (RingPlus... Hooray poverty!) and then I can figure out if it needs a new ROM or not.

Any help would be appreciated. Even just some assurance that I'll probably be fine running TOT would take the edge off a little.

Thanks all!

Edit - All right - maybe it's the LG UP I need if Marshmallow? That one had me scared because it said for the D855 only right now... Any idea if it will work with my combo meal?

Edit - Okay - For those that end up in my same boat. I ended up following http://xdaforums.com/sprint-lg-g3/development/stockzv8lodexed-t3030795 which worked for me since I had access to TWRP. Issue seems to be resolved for now.

Help needed with lg g3 unbricking

I have LG g3 d850 and i have tried tot method to revive it but it fails at reboot check, after flashing is complete phone restart and keep on restarting and also no blue screen appears after flashing is complete on phone.

Please help me how can I unbrick it. I have still access to download mode
[G3 General] hyelton:
What was your reason for flashing back to stock? Also it's supposed to fail at reboot check.. Anything after 80% it's done flashing reset is rebooting and usually will fail which is normal.

You won't get the reset blue screen unless you choose board_dl on the tot selection screen, choose that and reflash and report back :).
[G3 General] Danish Adeel:
I tried to update to lollipop but after flashing rom my phone get bricked thatswhy is i am flashing back to stock.

I choose board dl but no blue screen appears and when flashing progress bar completes in download mode phone restart and keep on restarting.
[G3 General] findmike:
Just wanted to say thanks for keeping this thread going. I ended up using the TOT method to get my system all the way back to stock with the factory recovery and was so glad for all the posts in here. Ran into a couple of issues on my LS990 all of which were covered earlier and gave me the info I needed.

So thank you all!

By using this tool, Can I use G Pad II LTE V935 kdz for V930(US AT&T variant)?

using snapdragon 800 devices are compatible kdz because they have save ap and modem chipset( gpro2 and g2 can use other operators rom )

So just change model number on build prop (example) korean G2 Uplus variant(LG-F320L) -> korean G2 SKTelecom variant(LG-F320S) )

I use GPad X 10.1 ATT variant(V930) and it use snapdragon 800 AP / But I can't find V930's latest frimware kdz.

Today I found V935's kdz file, it also use snapdragon 800( http://www.mylgphones.com/lg-g-pad-i...e-v93510c.html )

and I know V930 and V935's Hardware is almost same except ROM capacity(V930:32GB, V935:16GB) and Camera(V930:8MB, V935:5MB pixel)

( http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomp...=9102&id2=9197 )

So I think both device's kdz is compatible. but I can't sure this answer is correct.

Anyone know correct answer?
[G3 General] djCarpio:
i used the kdz method but it fails and also crashes my internet connection..... any idea why

Wait what? What do you mean fails? What was the error? Also this does not "crashes" your internet connection mean as it has nothing to do with the internet.

Hi guys

I'm recently get lg g3 verizon version VS985 4g, Im in france and I have no 4g, I'm lost with this LG, I used HTC for 15 years and it so different.

How can I please convert this VS985 4G to a french or european version?

Thx
[G3 General] hyelton:
First of all you need to be using the correct apn. And you can't convert a phone just by its firmware that phone probably does not have france lte bands
[G3 General] kroukes2000:
THX for your help, I already add the apn but lte is compatible with France bands, I want clean all Verizon app the phone use us units like F° feet mph .... Any idea how can I clean the phone like unbranded one?
[G3 General] hyelton:
You would probably have to flash a custom rom , Verizon is a cdma carrier so you can't just flash any gsm firmware sadly

I've got a question, I got myself an LG G3 in UK bought it on Amazon and as thought it is a Taiwan software version.

All is ok but tried Your method for putting in the European or UK rom and instead it keeps on reverting the phone to its original settings although no mistakes/problems occur during the installation process. It just goes back from V10i TWN-XX to V10a TWN-XX.

Is there no chance for installing the UK or European version or am I doing something wrong?

Simple question I'm rooted and Bumped,

What do I have to choose to go back to stock ? Normal Flash or CSE Flash?

Normal flash flashes rom without losing data. CSE flash flashes rom and formats your device.

It's no harm to flash a stock kdz over a custom recovery. In fact, that's the easiest way to go back to stpck recovery. ;)

Try to download the LG flash tool of this thread...

Don't forget to set port to port41 in device manager of your computer...

If it doesn't work there's another thread over recovering from soft / hard brick ...
[G3 General] hyelton:
Your post is a little confusing to me.

You must flash what matches your model. You cannot flash a phone kdz on a tablet. Also if its an AT&T model, it will most likely be a TOT file you'll be looking for which will most likely be non existing. Korean models and USA models are completely different. Flashing a Korean firmware on say the AT&T Variant of the phone will result in problems and or brick.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Firstly, that message is normal. It's supposed to say that, As it doesn't have connection to the Internet. You drag over the window and you'll see its actually flashing the phone..

And your second problem is not related to flash tool or this method

OK so maybe i've got it wrong..

I have started the process again and now i have a loop consisting of black screen, LG logo and the android robot

It's been doing this for 15 mins. Is it flashing or boot looping?
[G3 General] hyelton:
That's boot looping due to most likely it being unplugged while it was actually flashing. Put it back into download mode and flash and ignore the error
[G3 General] djCarpio:
ok i let it run and eventually i got a security error...
[G3 General] hyelton:
Security error? Did it full flash? Or fail?
[G3 General] djCarpio:
on my PC it completed but the phone went into a loop and eventually i had a security error
[G3 General] hyelton:
You might have to do the tot method then.
[G3 General] djCarpio:
I will try the original KDZ instead of the recent one and if that fails tot method it is

thanks for your help
[G3 General] djCarpio:
The tot method doesn't work for me at all...

The marshmallow KDZ flashes but is followed by a bootloop... none of the other KDZ's i have tried will flash

I'm doubting wether i'm using the right one.. Can you advise which one to use? I have d855 and i am in the UK

Thanks
[G3 General] hyelton:
Try using LGUP. If you've flash MM you just use LGUP as the other tools will no longer work with MM. As long as your flashing a D855 it should be fine.
[G3 General] stayfrosty555:
Hi all.

Seems like I have the same problem as others have written about before, after flashing marshallow kdz both 30B and 30F i dont have any network anymore. I've checked the IMEI and its correct according to my box. I have tried flashing lollipop kdz again which has been suggested to others, with 21C modem, but the result is still the same.

I came from dirty unicorn to stock marshmallow if that gives any clues.

D855 32GB is the model.
[G3 General] knicksongil:
LGUP did not recognized my device, but the laptop is recognizing my device, i've tried rebooting my device while connected to the PC. Didnt work for me.
[G3 General] djCarpio:
I have that problem with LGUP too... It recognised that I had cloudy 2.5 before I tried the mm KDZ but didn't recognise the device.... Now it doesn't recognise the device or the firmware.. As there is no firmware installed... The only one that goes full term on the KDZ method is the 30b mm one... Tot method fails at 8%... So I'm pretty lost as to where to go from here... I no longer have any conflicts installed, I can access d/load mode and my PC recognises my device, ports are configured and drivers present so it should be fairly easy.....
[G3 General] hyelton:
If your running MM that's why the tot method fails. As you must have to use LGUP only if you were on MM.. Old versions will no longer work once your on MM you will always have to use LGUP. And custom roms do have some detection issues with LGUP.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Loss of network usually means wrong model firmware has been flashed.
[G3 General] knicksongil:
Any solution for LGUP not recognizing my phone?
[G3 General] hyelton:
I'm guessing your running a custom rom? If you still have twrp flash a stock debloated rom first.
[G3 General] knicksongil:
Can i have a link for that???
[G3 General] hyelton:
There's no specific link. I don't know what your model is, so you are running a custom rom? And still have twrp? Just find a rom that's based on your model and not modified and flash it.
[G3 General] knicksongil:
I still have twrp, i downloaded a KDZ Global file. D855 is my phone model.

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

Im running MM CM13 on my D855.

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 PM ----------

Heres my about phone setting.
[G3 General] hyelton:
That would explain why, just flash a custom stock based rom
[G3 General] knicksongil:
Does it brick if i directly flash it via flashtool the Global KDZ file that i downloaded?
[G3 General] hyelton:
No but you cannot use LGUP it won't flash if you have CM
[G3 General] djCarpio:
when i enter LGUP it's still saying that i have cloudy rom, so i can't be on MM from flashing 30b

all i really need to do is find the right firmware to flash... Knowing which one is the problem
[G3 General] knicksongil:
Im using flashtool. Will it brick my phone???
[G3 General] hyelton:
As long as you do it correctly... You didn't really explain anything.
[G3 General] hyelton:
