Your welcome :). You can flash the Bell tot and use OTA to update it to lollipop if you wanted to do that. If not I can check when I get home.
[G3 General] vineet381:
Its the driver status under device manager. See attached (ignore the device name which is samsung), I am getting the exact MTP error for my LG G3 mobile.

So basically the background window display an error stating me to pull up the battery, insert again, plug the UDB cable again and retry. I am guessing this is due to this error code 10 under device manager.
[G3 General] hyelton:
I was asking about the com port under commutation ports. MTP is NOT needed.
[G3 General] elmspace:
Thanks for quick reply man. I did use the Tot to go to Bell Kitkat, but when trying to do OTA update, it says you are currently on the latest OS, and there is not update. Which is weird, but not much I can do about that. It would be great if you could find a KDZ for Bell lollipop or Tot/dll for Lollipop. Thanks again for your help.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Are you using the phone on Bell? If not that's why. But if you are did you make sure to do a factory reset after flashing then try OTA?

Also there won't be a tot for lollipop. If there is it would only be kdz.
[G3 General] vineet381:
COM works fine but it keeps on saying READY! after I hit the yellow button from flashTool
[G3 General] hyelton:
So your using the tot method. Did you change the com port to com41?
[G3 General] elmspace:
So the phone was originally from Rogers, I unlocked it and flashed the Bell Tot on it. And I am using it on Bell. Should I do a Hard reset or just reset phone via setting? Thanks.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Reset phone via settings. If it's originally a Rogers phone it might have to have Rogers firmware on it to OTA. I'll look when I can if I find a lollipop kdz I'll let you know.
[G3 General] vineet381:
Yes, changed it, saved it. IT shows 41 on the flashtool but I dont see any progress. Not sure what else I could do.
[G3 General] hyelton:
[Guide] LG G3 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ &amp; TOT Method

Did you make sure it didn't change under device manager? When say using a different USB port or trying another USB port you MUST change it again..

Com41 on flashtool doesn't mean anything it was say com41 even when it's not on it. Flashtool is just saying that the flash will occur on com41 not that the phone is on com41.

And you've made sure your phone is plugged into a USB 2.0 port?

After you've made sure of that, when it says ready and it's not doing anything did you unplug and replug? Also try rebooting your phone to rereboot it into download mode.
[G3 General] vineet381:
Thank you, I will try these once I am back home tonight and update u. Really appreciate the feedback!
[G3 General] astonmartin214:
Okay so what's the issue that I'm facing with LG Flash Tool VS985
[G3 General] hyelton:
That means the rom that's currently on your phone is not the same or meant for your model. If you still have twrp flash a custom rom that's meant for your model then flash. Or you'll have to use a hex editor.
[G3 General] astonmartin214:
OKAY then cause I have stock 4.4.2 ROM & I've tired since yesterday to get into my recovery with the manual mode & have yet to into it cause I tired to flash a Lollipop mod didn't work so now a lot of apps are force closing so I wiped it now I can't get pass the setup wizard hit next force closes
[G3 General] hyelton:
If you cannot get into recovery then yeah you'd need to use the hex editor method on the tot file so be able to flash it. As whatever Rom that's on it either is built on a different model or the build.prop reading a different model.
[G3 General] astonmartin214:
Okay then how do I do the hex editor? I looked didn't see that method
[G3 General] astonmartin214:
So what do I change the TOT file while in Hex editor

GOT IT WORK let me phone boot up then is started running
[G3 General] gxg10:
Hello. What's the latest firmware released ?

Does flashing another firmware than the one on the phone have any risks ? I am a new user of LG.

Thank you.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Awesome :). Sorry for the slow response :/
[G3 General] hyelton:
As long as your flashing the same model firmware. Don't flash firmware a meant for a different model.
[G3 General] vineet381:
I worked, just had to unplug and plug it again!! Thank you so much brother from another mother!!
[G3 General] hyelton:
Your Welcome :)
[G3 General] eangel:
[MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION]: i finally succeeded in rebranding my d855 from Orange/romania, using your tot tutorial, and debranding using kdz tutorial. Thank you for your work and support in g3 and g2 forums!
[G3 General] MrElco17:
Ive ran the flash pogram several times and have had the same error at 94% "FAIL ! ! ! Factory_BootComplete() 00000064" Pleas someone help. I need my phone ASAP. Have to use it for work and had something go wrong during root process. Files did not push and the device automatically went into download mode before I could stop it.

Ive tried reinstalling the the stock firmware and still the same error
[G3 General] hyelton:
Your going to need to explain more than that. What you posted did not make sense.

If you read the entire OP you'd see that anything after 85% it's done flashing. The rest is rebooting.

Did you pull the battery and let the phone boot up afterwards?
[G3 General] MrElco17:
So when I first attempted to root, the files did not install, but the script went ahead and put my phone into download mode to attempt to finish the process. After it was done I was stuck boot loop. I tried removing the battery and it would never move past the boot logo. So I read up and seen I needed to flash the phone back to factory settings.

I followed every thing step by step, and ran the flash program. I got all the way to 94% and my unplugged my phone as soon s Status 3 appeared on my phone and removed the battery then turned the phone back on and was stuck on another boot logo, except this time it was stuck on the At&t boot screen. I was forced to remove the battery again and the same thing happened so I then put the phone in download mode, and reran the flash program and was left with that error and my phone would stop at status 2. Now it freezes at 15 seconds saying it cant change to download mode. IDK what to do now. Ive redownloaded my firmware and nothing is helping
[G3 General] hyelton:
And how long did you give it? It can take up to 5-10 min on first boot sitting on the AT&T logo... I'm assuming you have a D850 then.
[G3 General] MrElco17:
I don't think I gave it 5 minutes when it happened but im way beyond that now. Im stuck with a Flash status 2 screen except when I put the phone into download mode, but when I try to run the flash program now it never makes it passed changing into DL mode.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Make sure its plugged into a USB 2.0 port.

Do you have a D850?
[G3 General] MrElco17:
Yes its a D850, and its in a 2.0 usb. Im close to just taking it in and seeing if they can flash it for me. Ive tried several different ways to fix itand nothing is working. Ive looked around and nobody seems to have an issue that im having so I cant get much info on what to do next.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Taking it in where? AT&T stores wont 'Flash" it. Any mentchen of that would prob make them suspect you did it your self which is void of warranty. It would have to be sent to LG for something like that.

Did you make sure its still com41 under device manager? It can change at times. Also make sure you have rebooted your computer.
[G3 General] MrElco17:
Yea ive updated and rebooted my computer and still no change. Im going to try re downloading everything and reinstalling drivers and the flash program. If that doesn't help then im pretty much SOL
[G3 General] MrElco17:
Well I restarted my pc and re downloaded everything and to 94% then got the same error FAIL ! ! ! Factory_BootComplete() 00000064. Phone never made it past factory reset status 2. Honestly lost on what to do.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Did you not read the OP ? Anything after 85% means its DONE. Almost all the time it will say "fail" as long as its done after 85% its done.

If your stuck at the reset, pull battery and when turning on hold down vol up to do a factory reset. And besure you give it time to load up
[G3 General] MrElco17:
I unplugged the phone after 85% and still got nowhere with it. Im still trying it but nothing is working.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Your not doing what I asked. You dont unplug the phone at 85% the flashing is finished at 85%. I asked you to try doing a factory reset by pulling the battery and doing holding down vol up and power.
[G3 General] MrElco17:
Yes I have to pull the battery because I can not get my phone onto any screen that is usable. After I pull the battery I let it sit for about 10 seconds then put the battery in and hold volume up while plugging it in to engage Download mode. Then I basically restart the whole flash process. And I only did the unplug at 85 the first time cause I misunderstood what you wrote. But I've left it plugged in even after the flash says its failed on my pc. I left the phone plugged in after the fail for over 20 minutes and still on the blue screen saying Factory Reset Status 3. My notification light is still blinking but I have not seen a change in the phone.
[G3 General] hyelton:
I'm going to say this one more time, I've replied this several times. If you read the OP flashing is supposed to almost always fail. Anything after 85% is done. Your phone is supposed to show factory reset status 3 after flashing... That's part of the process. When you see that blue screen you pull the battery and put it back in and boot it up and your all done. It takes 5-10 min to boot up.

You haven't been reading my posts fully lol. The issues your having are not issues.
[G3 General] gxg10:

Help

In order to upgrade to lollipop do we need to download a new dll. file or the one that's in the folder for the v4 version is ok. I am downloading the zip for lollipop and want to make sure all I need is the tot file.
[G3 General] hyelton:
[Guide] LG G3 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ &amp; TOT Method

You don't need an updated dll file they always stay the same for he model. Wait lollipop zip? What's your model? What lollipop tot file are you using?
[G3 General] ttptheoriginal:
I think its dead...

I've spent the last two days trying to recover my wife's D855, but I think its unrecoverable.

Currently its stuck in download mode and I can't get tot or kdz to get a new firmware on there.

Here's how I got here:

We ordered it "new" off of Amazon but when it arrived (it was shipped to the USA from Singapore) it had TWRP and root. This made me a little wary so I figured I'd just do a stock restore. I put the IMEI in one of the online tools and that told me the suffix for this model was AHKGWH. Based on that I followed the tot directions in the OP using the 32GB Hong Kong tot file. Things go ok at first and the phone screen shows a green message indicating a connection on port 41 but after about 6 seconds it fails with this error " [ERROR] : Partition Change fa" it seems like the error message is cut off and I don't know how to read more of it. The phone screen lists what I assume is the rooted firmware as D855 10E.

I've tried a number of different tot files and they all give the same error. I've tried three different PCs to run on, two on win7 and an old machine on XP.

I also tried using the 2014 flash tool, and that one gets to a popup that says "Cannot to connect to server" and there is no activity on the phone screen.

I can only assume at this point that rooted image isn't the same as the stock image for this IMEI and that there was some change to the drive partitions that make it impossible to restore the stock image to the device? I'm grasping at straws here. About to just give up and buy a new device...

I'd appreciate any thoughts anyone might have...
[G3 General] hyelton:
On the kdz method the network error is normal that's supposed to be there, did you move that window over and look and see if its actually flashing?
[G3 General] WorldOfJohnboy:
I have a Verizon LG G3. Everything goes as the OP states and it gets to the blue "Factory Reset Status" screen (says "3" for number). I pull the battery and try to boot, no matter what, it goes back to the "Mini OS" boot screen, then back to "Factory Reset Status" I have tried booting with and without the cable plugged in to my PC and have kept the FlashTool running. Am I THAT dumb and missing something? (Sorry if I'm being a pain, I tried really!)

EDIT: NEVER MIND! I pulled the cable out, pulled the battery, then Volume-Down and Power buttons, did a Factory reset and it's now booting. Not sure if I'm alone in the minor detail, but Vol-Down and a Factory Reset in stock Recovery works.

Great job [MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION] and thanks!
[G3 General] hyelton:
Like I said that factory reset status is normal after it flashes. But if you pull the battery, wait a min then put it back in and if it still doesn't boot within 10min that sounds like a brick or something wrong never had that happen. 99% of the time once you get that factory reset screen after flashing your good to go. Your not being a pain ;p it's just ill say it ask something several times and it at times not get read.
[G3 General] WorldOfJohnboy:
See my edit. Perhaps I didn't wait long enough, but doing the factory reset worked, thanks!
[G3 General] hyelton:
Awesome. Glad its fixed :). You must of edited as I was posting.
[G3 General] ttptheoriginal:
Yes, I moved the window and the screen below says "Upgrade stopped due to an error". It lists 4 steps:

To try to upgrade again, follow the steps below

1. Disconnect phone, remove battery

2.Replace battery, reconnect to PC

3. Turn on phone

4. Click retry below

I did let this process sit over night with out clicking anything, 15 hours later it was still in the same state.

On the phone screen, nothing changes and in the text box at the bottom it just says USER B16.

Sometimes the number is different...

Am I possibly using the wrong kdz? right now I've been using D85520h_00

But maybe I need to use a different file?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Uploaded a TON new firmwares in the OP :D
[G3 General] J2B2:
I've searched and searched before asking, I'm out of options. Can someone help me recover this soft brick. I don't believe I have a download mode, not sure. Tried to KDZ back to stock 23C and it errored out and won't boot, no recovery, and when I pull battery vol+ and plug in usb I get the lg logo then straight to firmware update. In my device manager phone shows up as LGE Android Phone with !. I've uninstalled all drivers and reinstalled a dozen times now and nothing I do will load that driver. I think if I can get that driver and on the right com port I may be able to kdz and be good to go. Any suggestions? Help would be so greatly appreciated I'm supposed to turn this thing into work tomorrow and now I'm hosed.....
[G3 General] hyelton:
Try another PC? does LGE Modem or LGE serial port show up in com ports? Thats what you want.
[G3 General] J2B2:
I tried on my laptop with W7 64bit and it says the same thing. Here is what I have
[G3 General] hyelton:
Did you download the drivers from the OP? and is that when the phone is in download mode?
[G3 General] J2B2:
yes and yes

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 PM ----------

It doesn't flash the download mode anymore it just goes straight to the firmware update screen.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Are you sure your using a USB 2.0 port then? USB 3.0 wont work and will cause that.
[G3 General] J2B2:
Needed this driver, it's a newer version. http://www.lg.com/us/support/software-manuals Idk it worked. Thanks for your response though brother, I was sweating bullets over here lol
[G3 General] hyelton:
Are you sure it just didnt need reinstalled? The driver in the OP works fine. Glad you got it though :)
[G3 General] J2B2:
Link doesn't work you'll have to narrow it down to vs980
[G3 General] hyelton:
Huh? Both Normal and Verizon driver links work.
[G3 General] J2B2:
I uninstalled and reinstalled that drive at least 15 times and wouldn't recognize it. I'm on Windows 10 on this pc that may have something to do with it? It's working now though.

I finally figured out where LG Flashtool writes out its text log, and now I can more clearly see the problem.

These are excerpts from the log file:

So it looks like the phone currently has a partition that the tot doesn't account for, and generates a mismatch. Is there some way to edit the tot file to make it match the current partition since I'm assuming I can't make any edits to the partition table while I'm stuck in download mode?

Just one that matches your model.
[G3 General] TwiggLe:
Ok so I went to flash my phone back to stock since VZW is releasing an update to fix the Lollipop issues (supposedly fix). I've used this guide before and it went smoothly. I just attempted it again and I got hit with a Factory Reset Status 2 screen.

Searched around and people said just follow the guide again but select Board DL instead of Upgrade DL and it will work fine. So I tried that now I get to this on the LGFlash Tool.

Any help?

[Guide] LG G3 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ &amp; TOT Method

That error happens if your using a USB 3.0 port. Did you make sure it was a USB 2.0 port? It can also happen if you haven't rebooted download mode at times.

When you seen that blue screen did you pull the battery and see if it booted up? Also did you give it a min to make sure it was stuck at 2 and didn't take its time to get to 3?
[G3 General] TwiggLe:
Switched USB ports it's going now. Yes I waited about 15 minutes on the Status 2 screen, and yes pulled the battery and rebooted and it went to a MiniOS screen and sat there.

Lets hope this works (I've only got 2 USB 2.0 ports on my computer... Damn newer motherboards these days what are thinking.

Thanks again hopefully this goes better this time.

No clue. If you've done a factory reset and it still does it something is wrong somewhere.
[G3 General] Taki2011:
can i edit tot file to add custom recovery and install custom recovery?

No. You can flash the tot file. Then root and do custom recovery.

but the device doent boot to root or make custom recovery

[G3 General] timoshina:
Maaan [MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION], thank you very much!!! I just got my perfectly working phone back, just like when i bought it! ?

So in my case TOT method worked great. At first i reset the phone to factory settings, then i carefully followed your instructions for KDZ method. Took only 4 min to flash. However, when i turned on the phone, i noticed the network is off and i doesnt work at all. So i powered it off and used TOT method, which has a bit scary program to flash with :)) It worked perfectly! I'm on unlimited 4G with tmobile, so i didn't use wi-fi at all after i flashed kitkat, this way I don't get annoying update notification, yay! Thanks again

P.S. do you have same instructions for LG G2 D801?
