It's possible to root with D85510H_00.kdz?

Sorry if my question is allready answered.

Can I downgrade and make root with D85510E_00.kdz?

Or is only possible to root with a D85510A_00.kdz?

Thanks for all.

New LG G3 owner Can't find KDZ in OP

If I go to the link for KDZ firmware, I can't find vs985_10b KDZ. I only find the TOT zip. Did I miss something. :confused:
[G3 General] aditnkp:
thank u soo much m8!!
[G3 General] hyelton:
That would be because the VS985 is for TOT only, Follow the tot method in the OP and flash.
[G3 General] huzefaonline:
ok. now this is something tricky. same happened with me using G2. i am currently using G3 D850 and the gsm sim is working fine. when i bought g2 ls980 it was the same but to install an update on G2, i had to tot back to stock, then take the OTA update and then perform the sim unlock procedure which included rooting the phone, changing the carrier folder files with other files available in the ls980 forum and editing the building.prop file to make the sim work. Now i fear that when lollipop update comes out for d850 and i take the ota, will my gsm sim work after that?
[G3 General] techbananas:
Anyone? :)
[G3 General] hyelton:
If you have a d850 that IS a GSM phone... Unlike Tue G2 you had. So no you won't loose service.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Please Follow the ENTIRE OP.... There's no DLL files for kdz method, please read the OP there's a kdz and tot method. You need to follow the kdz method.
[G3 General] techbananas:
Thanks very much :)
[G3 General] huzefaonline:
that is so good to see. thank you bro :) so relaxed now. thanks :good:

hi, after upgrading to lollipop i cannot enter download mode...i tried other usb ports, nothing. it does enter recovery though
[G3 General] hyelton:
Just make sure your doing it correctly. So youve tried pulling battery placing it back in and with USB connected directly your your computer and holding down vol up while plugging in?

[G3 General] TidaLwaveZz:
No connection?

I don't think my phone is connecting to LG flash tool.

I never receive any "waiting..." message, firmware update never starts.

I'm in download mode, tried unplugging for ~5secs, tried uninstall\reinstall of all drivers. Port is addressed correctly, I can get the READY message, just no further.

Verizon variant.

Any help would be awesome.
[G3 General] hyelton:
When you say port is addressed correctly, do you mean you went to device manager clicked on ports and you seen LGEModem and change that to comport 41?

excuse my ignorance , I have d855 model working with gsm sim ,, do i still need to choose the CDMA option in Lg flash tool ? just making sure

thank u
[G3 General] hyelton:
It doesn't really matter what you choose much. Just keep it at CDMA.

Gsm sim? All sims are GSM. The D855 is a GSM phone.
[G3 General] kdrahem:

software V. V20c-SEA-XX

If it helps
[G3 General] hyelton:
The tool works fine, are your using a KitKat kdz file and not a lollipop one? Where did you download the kdz?
[G3 General] kdrahem:
lgkdz.com , entered the imei and downloaded the firmware
[G3 General] hyelton:
Then there's you issue, using the imei lookup ONLY will give you the latest of your model. You didn't downgrade because you flashed lollipop on it.. When you downgrade you have to use a firmware from the OP links
[G3 General] kdrahem:
ok am getting the hang of it ,, excuse my ignorance am still new to all of this ,, so when i entered my imei , it says model: d855

Latest Firmware: V20C_00

my phone software V. is V20c-SEA-XX and its a 32g one

so now which firmware to download from the directory stock ?
[G3 General] dedebekri:
V20 is lollipop, V10 is kitkat.

Download a V10 (kitkat) kdz file for D855 and flash it.
[G3 General] gschel:
So I went through the steps - Phone rebooted to startup screen saying that system updates are disabled.

Phone rebooted itself and is not stuck at blue Factory reset screen

I've factory reset the phone using the hardware buttons., but it still ends up at the same blue screen
[G3 General] hyelton:
Blue screen means pull battery and put back in...
[G3 General] 3thman:
guys please someone help me. the TOT method is not working after i flashed cloudy ROM but it was working before. what should I do. please help i have to go back to stock and the kdz method is not working
[G3 General] gschel:
I pull the battery and put it back in.

Phone boots and shows the sideways android with a door open.

LG G3 Boot screen

Then back to blue screen
[G3 General] hyelton:
Well it would help you would explain more :p. Model? What error? What's it saying ? Wrong DLL error?
[G3 General] 3thman:
it says can't go to download mode. I have d855
[G3 General] hyelton:
Is the phone already in download mode?

Tot method or kdz?

If tot did you change to com41 in device manager?

If phone is in download mode did you unplug and replug?
[G3 General] mlm1102003:
i have flashed using this method

[G3 General] almmpt:
Where can I get the 32GB version of KZD KitKat for my LG G3 D855 32GB?

I search in download repository but I don't know what is the file for 32GB KitKat version.

The purpose is for downgrading and rooting.

Thanks.
[G3 General] hyelton:
V10x.. Is kitkat
[G3 General] almmpt:
I know that v10x is kitkat.

My question is the 16gb and 32gb use the same kzd files for downgrading?

Or we have different kzd files for 16gb and 32gb?
[G3 General] hyelton:
If its the G3 then it doesn't matter
[G3 General] J-Santos:
Can you please be more specific....because there are kdz files for 32G and 16G. I read that there were guys that flashed the 16G in the 32G, and end up with 16G instead of 32GB.

Thanks
[G3 General] hyelton:
That's with the G2 and older devices. If you read up around this thread you'll see I've said it 100 times :p that with the G3 it doesn't matter

LGE Android MTP Device ..loop

I have read through this thread and found a couple of post related to my problem, but no one says how they solved their issue. My phone is in Download mode but my pc (XP) keeps trying to install LGE Android MTP Device.

Will someone confirm that flashing will not work on Windows XP, so I can format and install Win7.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Flashing works on both xp and win7. You need to go to device manager and open ports and make sure LGEModem shows up
[G3 General] ash0770:
With the phone on, I can connect and in device manager I can see lge mobile usb modem which is on port 3 and the lge usb seriel port is on port 41.

when I enter download mode the MTP loop keeps repeating.

Iam I doing something wrong?
[G3 General] jeffyzefrench:
Hi!

There is so many KDZ file to choose from.

I'm on a D855, currently on Lollipop and located in Australia. Which KDZ should I take from the download list? Does it actually matter whether I get one from France or Germany or whatever country?

locked out on phone and cant hard reset or reflash

Hello! I have used the kdz method of flashing rom months before when my lg g3 went into bootloop because of ifont. thanks to [MENTION=2181463]quangnhut123[/MENTION]! So now, i tried to use this again coz i got locked out on my phone. The screen just shows the backup pin (which i have completely forgotten) and the account recovery mail (which doesnt work, phone's not connected to mobile data or gps). I have a number of times did a hard reset but it stays the same. So i decided to reflash using kdz method but it doesnt work. the computer says lgusercstool stopped working. the phone reboots and shows the same screen. Please help!
[G3 General] J-Santos:

what is the difference between .kdz files (from the other site) and .dll and .tot files from the lins u gave.?
[G3 General] h0ratio:
Hey Guys. Could anyone please tell me what the difference between

Germany D85510A_00.kdz

Germany D85510L_00.kdz is?

Is the second one Lollipop? Thanks for helping me guys :)
[G3 General] AeroRange:
The 10L one is just the newer version, and both are Kitkat.
[G3 General] hyelton:
What other site? There both on the same site. Unless your talking about lgkdz.com which gives you the latest exact kdz for your phone.

But my links with tot files also have kdz files as well.

the difference between kdz and tot is whatever is available for your phone.
[G3 General] jrfurlan:
Works Fine! Many tks
[G3 General] MaxMusaab:
Well sooo the different file formats, doesnt affect anything? Kdz vs dll + tot, i mean.

Ohh well seeing as how i want to root my lollipop device, that means i have to dload a .kdz file (not the dll + tot combo) for kitkat first right? Meaning im now running lollipop V20h-TWN-XXX, but i need to dload V10m or sumthn right? Then use the flash tool as instructed.
[G3 General] submin_:
Ouch, I tried the KDZ method on the first post, but I'm always getting stuck on about 41-45% according to the phone's screen. I get the red text "ASSERT" and then it reboots itself back into download mode. Help, please? :)

The KDZ I'm using is D85520H_00.kdz. Edit2: I tried also Northern Europe D85510A_00.kdz, same results. :(

Edit: New record, 52%.

Here's a pic before crashing and after crashing, seconds before automatic reboot into download mode.

Solved!

This method here http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html seemed to work. Even that failed at the first try, dunno why. I'm back up and running.
[G3 General] hyelton:
..... Did you put the kdz file in the same folder as flashtool? You do know that's the exact same method right?? The method here is the exact same everywhere else but made up by me/typed.

Also if you read around it can take several times before it goes
[G3 General] submin_:
Heh, didn't notice. All glory and thanks go to you (or whoever wrote it up, I'm way too sleepy atm (4am) to read the OP too carefully..) then, I guess :)

The .kdz wasn't in the same folder, but that wasn't even mentioned in the OP. Anyhoo, now everything's working fine. Dunno why the TOT method only worked on the second try - probably just bad luck since I did everything the same way as on the first try.
[G3 General] mike_79:
Trying to go back to stock Kitkat from a custom lollipop ROM using .tot method. But after loading the firmware in LGflashtools when I reconnect phone nothing happens.

Pls help!!
[G3 General] huzefaonline:
[MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION] hey bro, is there any stock lollipop file available to tot back to android lollipop? I am using g3 d850 and phone is not picking up the lollipop update even though it is released by at&t
[G3 General] hyelton:
If there was it would be here :) everyone is till wanting and looking for it, it might be awhile before it's available. Keep in mind if your using it on another carrier or in another country that would be why you can't OTA.
[G3 General] wigginst:
This worked great on db850! Thanks!
[G3 General] huzefaonline:
Yeah. But once the file is available, it will be easy to tot to stock lollipop and ota wont be required. Do you have android 5.0.1 in your phone?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yeah it will be if it does come out, the last few releases didnt come out on TOT.

No I don`t, I cant stand AT&T junk so I run Cloudy 1.2 kitkat.
[G3 General] huzefaonline:
Nice. Is it better then the at&t stock kitkat?

Can you share the thread link of cloudy's kitkat rom for g3? The link available in his thread, i am unable to open it on my phone.
[G3 General] BarCouSeH:
I'm not sure which TOT or kdz to download.

I have the D855 unlocked. but there are a lot of versions and i'm not sure which is the correct for me. I want to downgrade to kitkat.
[G3 General] AeroRange:
I'm using Germany 10L. I think it's good.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Just google IG Cloudy G3 1.2. It's In the index thread. Its not in the OP as this is for stock :p

I like to stay stock but that att crap made me do it haha
[G3 General] BarCouSeH:
I have the international D855 running 5.0 Lollipop and wanting to downgrade to KitKat, but i'm not sure which kdz (or tot) file to download since all of them say "D855"
[G3 General] hyelton:
International to you but there's no general international phone. Flash whatever is closest to your country.
[G3 General] huzefaonline:
Your right. i am tired of the at&t crap too. I hope the lollipop files comes out on tot. thats the only way i can upgrade to lollipop or may be cloudy can add the support in his rom :)

---------- Post added at 05:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 AM ----------

Just to give me a headsup on the installation. i am rooted. i just to need to have recovery and then flash the g3 1.2 rom, right? no flashing of any baseband required?
[G3 General] BarCouSeH:
I want to downgrade to kitkat from lollipop. So i downloaded the file "D85520h_00.kdz".

Also i bought my G3 from Australia and it's not on any carrier. Is that file the correct one for KitKat?
[G3 General] AeroRange:
Nope. The Kitkat one should be "D85510". "D85520" is the Lollipop one.
[G3 General] BarCouSeH:
Okay thanks. But which way is better, Kdz or TOT?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Which ever is available if you have a D855 then prob the kdz method as there's more available for kdz than tot
[G3 General] lalja11:
Hello !

I would like to ask for my help F400L LG G3 is a first telephone bless during the update , what 's wrong with the D855 KDZ file saved to be a problem or is there something else wrong?

Thank you !
[G3 General] BarCouSeH:
my software version is "V20h-AUS-XX", is it okay if i use the "Europe Common 16G D85510A_00.kdz" to downgrade to KK?
[G3 General] AeroRange:
If you're using 16GB variant, then yes.
[G3 General] BarCouSeH:
Okay so i think i'm gonna use the TOT method because i've already download the "LGD855AT-V10e-EUR-32G.zip". Is that going to work for my phone as well?
[G3 General] huzefaonline:
[MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION] bro i am flashing cloudys 1.2. I just need to flash it with twrp, right? No flashing of any baseband? Any guidelines to follow?

I'm using the .tot with my ATT D850. I was also getting a Wrong DLL error when trying to select the Megalock.dll?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Are you not using the D850 DLL? Did you change your com port to COM41??
[G3 General] bcfaas:
Yes I'm using the correct D850 DLL and I've changed the port to COM41. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the LG Flash Tool and now I'm getting an error every time I try to install it, saying LG USB/Parallel Lock Key is not detected.
[G3 General] hyelton:
You shouldn't have to reinstall flashtool. Try another PC? Restart your PC?
[G3 General] bcfaas:
I tried doing it fresh on a different PC... I got almost all the way done then it said Download Fail!! and I rebooted my phone and it says Factory Reset Status 2 and that's the same blue screen it goes to every time I try and reboot it.

I'm confused.. Your problem is completely different it seems your trying go do what your not supposed to do
[G3 General] lalja11:
TOT stock firmware

writes the Change System Partition Error !

What could be the problem ,
[G3 General] BarCouSeH:
Thank you very very much!

I just followed the steps for the TOT method on my Window 8 PC, and everything worked flawlessly and now i'm back to the lovely KitKat. But after the software finished updating on my PC, my G3 showed a blue screen with "Factory Reset Status 3", i was a bit worried but i unlpluged the usb cable and the battery and everything worked! Thanks very much for all your work :good: :good:

[G3 General] hyelton:
Yeah that's at the bottom of the tot method guide for the G3 :)
[G3 General] hyelton:
As I said before your post was confusing do you have an F400 or a D855? If you have an F400 don't go flashing d855 firmware on It
[G3 General] hyelton:
I have updated the KDZ guide (sorry for delay) Also added some new links :)
[G3 General] keithleyson:
Does the CSE KDZ method return the G3 to stock AND removes all traces of rooting and customization? I wanted to know cause I've done a lot of customizing on my phone and can't even begin to remember those to be able to switch them back one by one before updating to the latest version.

We humans are capable of greatness.
[G3 General] julianosplendido:
I cannot enter download mode as it is somehow protected by kill switch.

I read that this is a feature of McAfee, however, I deinstalled the McAfee app after I rooted the phone.

The McAfee app on the play store seems to be another version which doesn't have this feature.

Could someone with the preinstalled McAfee app for the G3 upload it here please? I would be very grateful guys!

Thanks in advance,

Julian
[G3 General] leeharvey42:
is there no kdz file for verizon
[G3 General] stargate125645:
Surely there is an easier way than this, but perhaps that would have to come with a custom ROM.
[G3 General] hyelton:
What do you mean? There's no other way to go back to stock. And this is not even that hard to do...
[G3 General] hyelton:
That's because there's not.... You have to download the tot and use the tot method.
[G3 General] stargate125645:
Sigh, it posted in the wrong forum. Sorry.
[G3 General] leeharvey42:
TOT method came back with download fail (0 sec)

model info check fail!
[G3 General] hyelton:
That would mean you need to change your build.prop as the ROM your currently running is not meant for your phone thus making flashtool think your trying to flash it on the wrong model.
[G3 General] Svid:
Very easy way and works well.

Just a question: This method somehow can bring back my carrier junk in the /data/.OP Folder? In case i need it for warranty
[G3 General] keithleyson:
The local KDZ (downloaded through your IMEI) has all th3 carrier bloat. No matter what sim you use it installs the bloatware according to the sim you used. It asked me yesterday to reboot the phone right after I've returned back to stock. When I selected No when presented to reboot or not, the boat did not install.
[G3 General] Joao Oliveira:
Does anyone know the difference between KDZ a d TOT Flashing? What's flashed in one and on the other? any reason for KDZ file be almost half size of TOT files?
[G3 General] hyelton:
The difference is whatever is avalible for you to use... Kdz is more widely used for models outside of the USA.
[G3 General] saMMuel'sky:
Hello guys.

I would like to ask, if it is maybe possible to flash stock ROM with Tethered TWRP? I installed it, but I can't install the latest 10g update from today. Can't pass that fastboot mode etc... And also can't access the download mode.

I would be really grateful for any help.

Thanks alot!
[G3 General] keithleyson:
KDZ files are the official firmware files for LG phone just like FTF are for Sony, RUU for HTC and so on.

TOT files, I believe, are firmware dumps of specific LG firmwares. And thus follow specific methods and requirements to flash.

KDZ are compressed hence they have half the size of the TOT files (uncompressed).

Using this link together with your IMEI number you can download the official, latest firmware from LG.

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=<YOUR IMEI HERE>
[G3 General] saMMuel'sky:
I downloaded the software from this link and I somehow managed to get into download mode so I fixed my phone and now I'm back on stock- 10g.

Thank you for you help!
[G3 General] WIIstpM:
So I used the .kdz which was downloaded when inputing the IMEI file, it flashed alright, but before I had an OTA to v10i, the .kdz I installed is v10g but when I check OTA updates it tells me I'm on the latest version, is it normal?
[G3 General] tschmid:
Yes, i think i is internal at the moment

help me ii want kdz lg g3 d850 at&t i can t find the file​
[G3 General] BarCouSeH:
Ooops, I didn't read that.

But a thing that confused me, does it really matter which SW you download?

For example for my D855 I downloaded V10e, but there where a lot of options like 10c and 10d. Is there any difference?
[G3 General] hyelton:
10d is newer than 10c. It's the software version.
[G3 General] lalja11:
Phone Type: LGF400L

Software: LGD855AT V20A -00 - NOV - GLOBAL- COM

That was why I thought I would put it on the D855 eur version!

For me, the solution is to F400L Tot rárakom?

Or, it may be good for the D855 also valhogyan?

Sorry if I can not well worded question!
[G3 General] BarCouSeH:
What about 10a and 10e?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Same applies.. 10a would be the first ever firmware and earliest. The letters are just revisions.
[G3 General] BarCouSeH:
Okay so I got 10e which is the newest, Great!

Also, is downgrading android official? Or is it a vulnerability?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Downgrading using a kdz or tot is official :)
[G3 General] rammy1991:
hey, hope you all are doing well, here is my confusion

my model number is D855, and i am on stock lollipop v20h INDIA, never rooted my g3, now i want to root it, but i came to know its not possible now, however i saw a post on reddit explaining how to successfully root stock latest lollipop, but they are not able to flash TWRP, so no use of that method, so i wanted to know whats the last bet? how should i get TWRP installed and root my phone? all i know is its possible only if i downgrade to KitKat, but again i am not sure about that also, so please anyone here guide me with links to successfully install TWRP on G3?

help is appreciated :confused:
[G3 General] BarCouSeH:
But what does the "Factory Reset Status 3" mean? Why do I have to unplug the battery to bypass it?
[G3 General] hyelton:
It just means as it says factory reset lol. And you just pull the battery and put it back in
[G3 General] azcamm27:
My G3 has to go in for warranty repair here in the UK. Which will be the best method need to remove all trace of root and reset the counter. Thanks in advance.
