When I installed it, that's were I told it to ignore. But, when I try to run it, it removes it and I don't have an option to ignore it. I'll have to look into it further. It was late last night and I didn't feel like fiddling with it.

My work PC allowed me to install it and run it and McAfee didn't even bark about it.

I'll also run MalwareBytes on my home PC and when it scanned the program, it said it was safe. Stupid Nortin.

Any ways, I've Stumped rooted my phone and I'm good to go, but I needed to ensure I could flash back to stock in case I needed to since rooting is done via an exploit. I'll have to get used to this coming from my RAZR HD with an unlocked bootloader where I could just flash/sideload SuperSU within TWRP.

Hopefully, someone finds an exploit for the later version, but it seems 10B seems to be the better version right now, at least from what I've read due to radio issues with later OTAs.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes the reason why it gets flagged is because it has a web server in it, a lot of people do nasty things with them sometimes so that's why it just wants you to he safe lol. But all my files are safe :)

Hi,can you please updalod TOT files for D855 etc ?

http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/

the only place I know for now are Here: (One day they can be deleted...)

http://www.androidrootz.com/p/lg-g3-stock-fiwares.html

http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html

Do you know other sites for TOT files?

Is that make any difference to flash old TOT and then flash new Ver.

What are the Difference bettween TOT to KMZ ?

Thank you!
[G3 General] hyelton:
I`ll mirror them.

KDZ files are more forgiving when flashing than TOT files. And theres MORE kdz files than TOT files, as well as some models only have kdz files.
[G3 General] iBolski:
I figured they were safe but Nortan was being a butt and wouldn't let me run it nor choose to accept it as safe.

how much Percent (%) Recommended before flash rom to LG G3?
[G3 General] hyelton:
50% and up.
[G3 General] rcrocks:
Which version should i flash?

Right now I'm on a custom ROM. My stock ROM mentioned "v10l-CIS-XX". Which one should i download for my D855 16GB model?
[G3 General] duytuan665:
i have a question, if i flash a kdz on my phone(for example i flash poland kdz 20d on my vodafone branded d855, which latest firmware is 20c), can i still install otas without any risk?

please answer, it is something i really want to know :):o
[G3 General] hyelton:
Just depends. There no risk but on the G2 if you wernt running the original software or same carrier firmware OTA wouldn't work at all.
[G3 General] rcrocks:
Any help on this? :)
[G3 General] DelBoy:
Any D855 stock firmware.

Best Kitkat is 10N while Lollipop is 10D.

Only phone variant is important.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Huh? Lollipop files are 20A and so on.
[G3 General] rcrocks:
Exactly. I can't find a 10D version :D
[G3 General] DelBoy:
Yeah, typo :D

Can you please add little guide how to downgreat from 5.0 to 4.4.2 with flashing KK modem etc...

For

1. with TWRP and root

2. without TWRP & no root (even add info witch can be downgreat like 20A and wich not ?!)
[G3 General] Igorsep:
I have a brazilian model (V10c), can I flash another one? For example, the european? What would be the consequences? Thanks!
[G3 General] hyelton:
You can downgrade from 5.0 to 4.4.2 using the same method in the OP..
[G3 General] hyelton:
Just make sure you keep the same model #
[G3 General] Igorsep:
You mean the "d855"?
[G3 General] u1988:
I know that but I herad about flasing KK modem or I will get problems network etc...

Just don't know how to flash only KK modem after downgreat without TWRP...
[G3 General] hyelton:
When you flash back to stock it flashes everything including modem..
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes if thats what model you have. Theres several different models for the G3
[G3 General] Igorsep:
Do I need to have root for this? I'm having a lot of trouble with that... Adb isn't detected
[G3 General] hyelton:
No.. It does not say anywhere that you need root, as its for going back to stock.
[G3 General] iBolski:
Root has nothing to do with adb. That means you don't have the correct command line tools installed. All of that is outlined in the OP. In fact, why do you even need adb? You should be using one of the two tools listed in the OP.

On another forum, we used to tell people: read, read, and read the instructions again. Read them three times to ensure you understand them before you even attempt to do what the instructions say. It usually resulted in people having an "ah ha! I get it" moment and things go much smoother for them.

There's not much else we can tell you.

And I'm not trying to be a jerk. Just want you to actually go back and read what we would just tell you anyways. No sense in us regurgitating the same instructions.

I think what happens is people get into a panic when something goes wrong, or they attempt to do everything while reading the instructions for the first time, and then they start to rush and skip a step or due to panicking, do not comprehend what is outlined.

The best thing in this case is to:

Stop what you are doing with your phone and step back for a bit.

Take a deep breath, then after a minute of relaxing, go back to the instructions.

Read the instructions.

Read them again.

Read them one more time to ensure you COMPLETELY understand what they are saying.

If at that point you don't understand, please explain what it is you don't understand or tell us what you have done that doesn't appear to be working as stated in the instructions. Don't just go and say "HELP! I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS AND THEY DON'T WORK". That does nothing to assist us in figuring out what you might have done incorrectly.

I have found that usually really helps and it cuts down on unnecessary posts to the forum.

Oh, and don't just start PMing people for help. That gets really annoying as it fills up inboxes. PMing isn't going to necessarily get you a quicker response.

And please be patient after you post for help. Don't come back minutes later, or even a few hours later and post again saying "Hey! Why hasn't anyone repsonded?" That is more likely to get you flamed or ignored. People are not on here 24x7 and we do have lives (or wives which means we don't have lives), you know! Well, some of us do anyways. ;)
[G3 General] cyaiphone:
GUYS I NEED HELP:(

I bricked my phone and trying to return to stock via the method described in this post. I've been out of the rooting scene for years so all this new language is making me go insane.

I have ATT D850, I click on the Firmware files link http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/

I then clicked on the very top folder which is ATT D850 folder. In that file, there's 3 different files. Do i need to download all these files?
[G3 General] An-Druid:
I basically have the same question: Does it make any difference to flash a TOT rather than a KDZ?

I mean - does a TOT flash other areas that a KDZ doesn't flash?
[G3 General] NEXUSg4:
Help.. I have d852 Saskatel model in Canada.. I tried both Rogers and bell tot with dll. Both didn't work.. Is there any way to skip model check and flash tot file
[G3 General] hyelton:
You can use the right DLL file but it never skips model check use a DLL file.
[G3 General] golstho:
vs985

i followed the direction in the op. drivers are installed correctly. open the flash tool choose the dll and the tot file. the file checks out tool says ready, phone is already hooked up and in download mode. now i try to power off the phone and it wont so i unhook the usb cable and re hook it as i read some where else and the flash tool says waiting on connection or something like that but never starts flashing the file. after a long time i unhooked the usb cable and the program then starts to flash but ofcourse fails due to the phone no longer being hooked up. any ideas/help?
[G3 General] djCarpio:
Can i just flash the tot file in twrp?
[G3 General] Professor Jones:
Just wanted to say that I've used the LG flash tool several times to go back to stock and it works very well. Thanks !
[G3 General] hyelton:
No...Where does it say that? As stated hundreds of times there's only ONE way of doing it. Please read the OP.

Firmware Update

How long does it take for the firmware to start updating. I have completed all the steps necessary but the bar is still at 0%. I have the VS958 (Verizon model) I was really dumb the other day and manage to delete the op system on my phone. Any help or pointer would be great thanks!!!
[G3 General] hyelton:
Are you in download mode? Change your com port to com41?
[G3 General] rfj1979:
yes in download mode and port is at com41
[G3 General] rfj1979:
I haven't been able to get it to work i think it's the drivers for the Verizon model that I can't get to download to the phone. I'll find someway to get the done. oh well very sad now :(
[G3 General] hyelton:
Go to Lg website and enter model number and try that :) I have been extremely busy and haven't updated the OP drivers.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Updated T-Mobile USA kdz in OP links as well as here :)

Can i offer to paypal you to walk me through this via gtalk?
[G3 General] hyelton:
If you read the OP its a very easy process. As long as your read it through you'll get it :)
[G3 General] cyaiphone:
I posted a question a few posts up in regards to the 3 files inside the D850 folder. Am i supposed to download all 3 of those files?
[G3 General] hyelton:
As it says in the OP, Download a tot and DLL, I`m asuming you have a D850 AT&T?

First You`ll download both the first and 3rd file.

The first file you download is in a compressed file which you`ll unzip and you will have your tot file.
[G3 General] cyaiphone:
ok bear with me here. I've been out of the rooting community for a couple years so trying to learn all this root talk again. A lot has changed! :silly: I will try now and update you in a few.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Okay :) Yea Ive been out of the rooting as well, Rooting my Xperia Z2 tonight.
[G3 General] cyaiphone:
you know i apologize, i had to do a some things before i could actually start this process. I'm actually ready to do this!

Do you recommend i use the KDZ method or the TOT method? My phone is currently soft bricked and trying to restore to stock without losing any data if possible. I'm on ATT D850
[G3 General] hyelton:
You can ONLY do the tot method, theres no kdz D850.. Also when Flashing it resets everything and wipes everything just like it would with any other phone when going back to stock.
[G3 General] cyaiphone:
OK i just downloaded all the files in the OP. I extracted the TOT file. and starting the process now.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Good luck!
[G3 General] cyaiphone:
ok i got a question.

I made it all the way to step 13 and clicked the yellow arrow on top left hand side of screen. It did a few things and now Port1 says "READY!!"

The screen on my phone says "FIRMWARE UPDATE", but the progress is at 0%. I noticed this screen came on a few seconds after I initially put the phone in download mode and plugged it into the computer.

Do i proceed to step 14 or is there something wrong here?

edit: I tried going to step 14 and holding the power button, but my phone doesn't turn off. It stays on the "FIRMWARE UPDATE" screen. This screen came on before i ran the flash tool. I wonder if i did something wrong?

edit #2: I went to device manager and my port says "LGE MOBILE USB SERIAL PORT (COM3). How do i change this to read COM41?

edit #3: found out how to change to COM41, made the change and now the update process is beginning!!!

edit #4: on the LG FlashTool port 1 says

"Download FAIL!!" [249 sec]

Mini OS Boot Check....

Mini OS Status=2.

Success to Set mini OS Status 3.

Fail to get Mini OS Status.

[22: 4:11] FAIL!! Factory_BootComplete() -----< that is highlighted in blue

00000064

Error: [22: 4:11] FAIL!!! Factory_bootComplete

The screen on my phone is blue with the words "Factory Reset Status" on top and a big 3 towards the bottom of the screen

I'm stuck here, so i'll wait for a response to continue. TIA

Edit #5: I went ahead and pulled the battery and let the phone turn off. I inserted the battery back in and it seemed to kick the process again. I got the ATT logo on my screen and the LG Flashtool starting doing some things. My phone appeared to boot on! It was on the ATT home page asking me to set up my phone, and then the phone rebooted back to the firmware update screen. That's where it's at currently. and it's at 13%. Let's see how it goes.

---------- Post added at 07:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 AM ----------

Edit # 6: grrrrrrr. I got a download fail again. This time it says "we can't communicate with phone" I think i'm giving up for tonight. I look forward to some advice on what i'm doing wrong.

Edit # 7: I tried the process again from scratch and it looks like it worked the 2nd time around!! Thank goodness!!!
[G3 General] hyelton:
Now.. What do you mean by download fail? You know after 80% its mostly done flashing, most of the time it WILL fail after this as the rest is the phone rebooting. If you got to the AT&T setup menu then that means it flashed, Make sure your phone wasnt still connected to the usb and your computer which could had caused to reboot back into download mode, as if you seen the setup screen that means the flash was successful. Also make sure you perform a factory reset after flashing.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Great! Im glad its worked!!! :)

Enjoy :D
[G3 General] cyaiphone:
Do I need to Do a factory reset?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Its recommended, as some have problems if they dont.
[G3 General] carloss2013:
can sombody give me a link to three branded firmware files need to send them my phone thanks:)
[G3 General] Benholder90:
what does "enter into download mode" mean? And is it necessary to understand the text in the pictures ? I dont quite get the process. Are there any videos?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Your phone MUST be in download mode to flash back to stock. Its in the OP on how to enter download mode. If you need help just Google LG G3 Download mode.
[G3 General] Benholder90:
Thanks i found it on youtube :) My phone came from hong kong with taiwan software version (TWN) if i change it to a uk version it will be ok right? Also i updated to lollipop but its also TWN version is it possible to get different versions of lollipop?
[G3 General] rfj1979:
I can't get my port to say this LGE MOBILE USB SERIAL PORT how do I do that if my phone is stuck in a boot loop with no op system?
[G3 General] hyelton:
You have to be in download mode...
[G3 General] rfj1979:
I have been in download mode I know how to get to download mode. I'm saying my phone when connected in download mode doesnt say lg moblie.
[G3 General] ThePagel:
You need to give the download mode drivers time to install or you need to re-install the lg drivers then give the download mode drivers time to install. After you enter download mode you should see a windows prompt saying finding and installing drivers (or something similar to that) just wait until that completes.
[G3 General] rfj1979:
I have done that only one of the four drivers installs and the other three fail. I appreciate all the feed back I'm getting thanks for the advice.
[G3 General] ThePagel:
Not a problem, Sounds like you need to uninstall the lg drivers you currently have.

So proper order to do things:

Unplug phone

Uninstall anything LG

including drivers and programs

Restart your PC

Install the proper drivers before you plug your phone in (Depends on your carrier but the LGUnitedMobileDriver will probably work)

Reboot your pc again

Connect phone

for the first time since we uninstalled

and let the download mode drivers install

If you got the proper lg g3 driver you should be good to go now. Good night and good luck!
[G3 General] Benholder90:
Is this the best way to install different firmware? And those who have followed this has it worked out ok and everything running perfectly afterwards?

[G3 General] hyelton:
Its more of an availably of the file. The kdz will be easer to find and the tot is easier to flash. Just whatever works for you :)

Downgrade from Lollipo 20e

Can I use this guide to downgrade my G3 from 20e (Lollipop) to 10l (KitKat)?

I live in Italy and I have a G3 imported from Romania that came with V10l-EUR-XX system

Thanks
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes
[G3 General] padremayi:
Thanks!

What is the difference between TOT and kdz?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Please read the OP. It depends on whats available to your phone model. Most firmwares are KDZ.

D855 32 gb

Plz help

I want to flash my phone with indian official kdz but my phone is from Singapore can i do this or it will harm my device

I am sorry if this question has been answered befor
[G3 General] DelBoy:
Flash with kdz that is meant for your variant.

Country has nothing with that, only phone variant.
[G3 General] padremayi:
I have D855 model (European) imported from Romania. My system is V10l-EUR-XX.

What I need? .kdz or .tot file? I repeat: my system is european 10l
[G3 General] hyelton:
As said Hundreds of times. Use whats available to you.

If theres a tot file for your phone use it.

If not use a kdz file.
[G3 General] padremayi:
Ok, but what is the difference?

The .kdz came from LG but .tot files don't.

This is why I prefer to use .kdz
[G3 General] hyelton:
Just a different method of flashing... .tot files are Official files.

kdz files are easier to get a hold of.
[G3 General] padremayi:
Yes, but .kdz came from LG server (I can download it directly), .tot came from an user upload (security problem)
[G3 General] hyelton:
If you read the OP ALL files in the OP are hosted by ME and uploaded by ME on MY Server. If there was a security problem I think I wouldn't be here, and all my files have had Hundreds of thousands of downloads for the G2 and G3 files, Theres nothing wrong with any files posted in the OP.

Just use the KDZ method if your concerned about it. Also Keep in mind Models like the AT&T and Sprint Variants there TOT only theirs no KDZ for them at all..
[G3 General] padremayi:
Ok, thanks. Can I know how do you obtain .tot files?

Can I create my own .tot files?
[G3 General] hyelton:
People that know what there doing/ Leaks from LG etc. I don't know how to make the,\m

Its not a simple process.
[G3 General] padremayi:
For example?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Ask someone who makes them lol, I`ve never had the need to create one. Most of them are Leaked from LG.

Theres only like 1 person on XDA that I know that has made a .tot

Just Flash a KDZ..
[G3 General] padremayi:
Ok, you don't know the source of the file ;)
[G3 General] hyelton:
LG. I'm done talking about it. I've used the files a ton of times as well as hundreds of thousand others.

If they werent safe they would not be posted here.

thank you very much!

[G3 General] padremayi:
Another question: My G3 came from Europe, no AT&T or Sprint.

There isn't a tot file for my phone that came out of the box with 10L system version (V10l-EUR-XX)

This means that I MUST use ONLY kdz method, is it right?

Thanks
[G3 General] hyelton:
There in the Op
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes, its stated in the OP And it was just asked yesterday :)
[G3 General] hyelton:
You use what is available for your model. Don't flash US firmwares.
[G3 General] padremayi:
Sure, thanks
[G3 General] hyelton:
International firmwares almost always run better than the US carrier branded ones anyway.
[G3 General] padremayi:
Maybe .is tot only required for carrier personalitaion and kdz for no carrier?
[G3 General] hyelton:
There are branded and non branded tot files. And the same goes for kdz files.

I read on italian forum that flashing .kdz or .tot file on the device doesn't remove the carrier personalization... Is it true?
[G3 General] keithleyson:
[Guide] LG G3 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock)

All KDZ come with carrier personalization apps. It installs after your first reboot. To avoid it, remove you sim when first booting the phone. Or you can choose cancel when prompted by the phone to reboot so it can install some"settings".
[G3 General] padremayi:
It isn't correct. In Europe not all the devices are branded by a carrier, there are a no-brand versions
[G3 General] DelBoy:
Its true because carrier stuff has own folder which has to be deleted manually if you want to get rid of the stuff.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Then flash an OPEN or unbranded firmware.
[G3 General] DelBoy:
In my country in does not mater. Carrier bloatware will stay even if you flash unbranded firmware.

So to get rid of it you have to root it first and manually delete it. After that you wont see it again.
[G3 General] padremayi:
This folders are in the .kdz/.tot or in the devices? In Europe there are devices that aren't branded by a carrier, so the firmwares

[G3 General] XfrostX:
Is it possible to convert a F400S to a rogers D852? I have the korean variant and a lot of things like call-waiting, three-way calling, etc simply do not work. I know that there is little difference between each firmware but I truly do believe that it would fix a lot of these issues. Is there an easy way to convert it? In the past I've converted my phone between F400 S/L easily but am not too sure if its the same process.

Thanks
[G3 General] hyelton:
You can not switch between model numbers. Also your issues have to be account/network related. The Korean firmwares work fine with call waiting and 3 way calling etc.
