LG will not detect root. If you go into the service menu of the G3, there is LG RCT. On Kit Kat, itll say Not Modified/Rooted something like that, on Lollipop its going to say Official. And if youre rooted it will list the modifications to your phone.
[G3 General] hyelton:
So were you complete stock before? And sorry if I missed this, but did you use refurbish? And not upgrade right?
[G3 General] jd2210:
I was stock before the update and I selected upgrade. That must be where I went wrong. I'm not sure how I missed it, but when I rewatched your video I see where you were telling me to select refurbish.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes you'll need to select refurbish. Never use upgrade. Best bet is to try and warranty it and play dumb :/
[G3 General] ncjones28:
Sorry I keep asking so many questions, but is it possible that if I try to go from Stock MM to 10b on the VS985 that I could brick my phone at all? In a mention you said that there is a bootloader issue that does not allow this, but is there any risk of trying? Or should I just not attempt it? Thanks for all of the help by the way!
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes there is risk in trying. I wouldn't attempt it at all as there's not a real reason to need to. Your welcome :). But I wouldn't risk it. Usually it will just fail. But it's not going to work either way.
[G3 General] ncjones28:
Okay thanks. So would I be able to go to MM to LP? I did not see an LP tot file for the vs985.
[G3 General] hyelton:
You would just do an OTA update.
[G3 General] ncjones28:
To revert from MM to LP? I took the OTA for MM while I was on LP, but I would like to get back to LP in order to root my phone.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Opps sorry I thought you said LP to MM. Sorry not sure on that, havent kept up with the latest Verizon stuff. Might want to go to the Verizon G3 specific forum
[G3 General] dinamo1975:
Yes!

I'm desperate! Please, i need urgent a STOCK ROM Lollipop for LGD858HK... can somebody to help me with a link to download? I tried to flash a ROM from here but without luck

Thank you,
[G3 General] hyelton:
Is there not one in the OP links?? Also that link you posted is not allowed here.
[G3 General] dinamo1975:
[/COLOR]

i tried every ROM: D858HK20e_00.kdz / D858HK10F_00.kdz / D858HK20d_00.kdz and every time i have failed ... what happening... what it's wrong???

I just need to reback to LOLLIPOP from MM !!!

Only this is working D858HK30a_00_0202 which is MM but i want LOLLIPOP!
[G3 General] hyelton:
Those are he kdz files you would need.. Wait if your not using LGUP that's why it's failing... You cannot use flash tools to downgrade from MM you must use lgup
[G3 General] dinamo1975:
I'm going crazy... i can't go further than this 2 windows!!!??

Someone can provide me LGUP_8974_DLL ???

The phone it is in download mode and nothing happened??? It can't identify my model!

From another xda topic "If you have a problem that LGUP does not see your LG G3, leave your mobile connected via USB and leave LGUP running, restart your mobile, hopefully this will solve the problem. " This doesn't solve my problem at all !!! What should I do in this case??? Please people... i need desperated your help!

UP!
[G3 General] dinamo1975:
i made a progress! Now i need the ".tot" file for LL to install on my LGD858HK... exist such file???
[G3 General] hyelton:
There's no tot. You use A .kdz file. LGUP accepts both tot and kdz
[G3 General] TheOneNoob!:
Hey I'm back. Still having problems with getting OTA, I am on Kit Kat right now. Maybe I downloaded the wrong TOT and DLL? Can somebody direct me to the TELUS LG G3 D852 stock files I need to download? Thank you very much!
[G3 General] hyelton:
You didn't really explain what do you mean by wrong tot or dll??

Tells G3 stock files are in the OP.. You'll need to use the kdz method
[G3 General] augusto.med:
Hey, I've been searching and could not find an answer as of yet... I have a D855p that was bricked while running CM13. Since there is not tot+dll for this guy, I first tried flashing kdzs that I found on brazilian websites for this version (lollipop). Tried using Lg Flash Tool 2014 several times to no avail (phone rebooted around 23% and the flashing failed). Finally got it to flash using the other method with the LGUP and SAME kdz. However, my phone shows LG logo, then the classic android robot, then goes to the "Android is updating...." screen optimizing the apps. It says I have 164 apps (probably bloat from original ROM?). It says a while on that, finishes, and instead of showing the welcome screen, it reboots back to the LG logo (this time without the "ANDROID" saying on the bottom". It will then stay there forever. Any guidance you could give me, please? I don't want to have to buy a new phone :(
[G3 General] hyelton:
When using LGUP did you choose referbish?? You have to choose that and wipe.
[G3 General] augusto.med:
Thanks for the reply! I did. Thankfully about an hour ago I tested with autoprime's MM kdz and now I have a working phone again!!! Thanks a lot for the tutorials.
[G3 General] TheOneNoob!:
Hey hyelton, thanks for the help! Got my LG G3 Canadian %100 back to stock! I tested the download for Lollipop OTA and it works perfectly. Thanks again.

---------- Post added at 04:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 AM ----------

The weird thing is, in LG RCT in Service Menu of my G3, it shows as modified. Superuser installed. I used your KDZ method with the telus file. I can still download and install OTA's however...
[G3 General] hyelton:
Did you flash with CSE? These are not modified in anyway.
[G3 General] TheOneNoob!:
Yes I used CSE flash. In the end I used TOT method with the BELL file and the Dll. I am on Kit Kat now, no update available for Lollipop. Hmm...
[G3 General] petepw:
Hi there,

If I wanted to go back to stock from cm13, would I use the lgup or flashtools?

I have a D852 by the way.
[G3 General] TheOneNoob!:
Hey, use LGUP with the Bell TOT. It works very well.
[G3 General] atifag2:
Hey Hyelton does roms effects the signal quality of the Phone? and my lg g3 is from austrailia optus & I belong to Pakistan. so which rom is best for Pakistan region cause stock australian rom is catching low signals.
[G3 General] fishfool1978:
Problem

The software says that the device is unknown and I need to plug in a known device, but I don't know what to change to make my device known. I am coming from a CM nightly that gets stuck in a bootloop

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

what did you do to make progress?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Why not try the original flash tool? And not LGUP?
[G3 General] fishfool1978:
It wouldn't work for me, I gave it a look and it said the phone disconnected. Under device manager I had a code 10 error.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Code 10 error on what? If MTP? That's normal as it's not needed. Only your commucation port is needed
[G3 General] fishfool1978:
I ran the TOT process and it worked! I couldn't get it to work more because I also didn't change the Megaupload.dll file with the new one I downloaded. It is working now, thank you. I really appreciate your assistance.
[G3 General] jouhisorsa:
LGUP not detecting LG G3

I'm trying to get my G3 back to stock from CM13. However, the only method that is proven to work from MM is the LGUP method described in post #3.

As I have installed the drivers and the LGUP in correct order and rebooted both my G3 and computer multiple times, I still only get the "There is no handset connected" error message from LGUP. I have tried booting to download mode, but nothing.

Any advice on how to get forward?
[G3 General] hyelton:
CM MM is different than actual stock MM. Did you try the tot method or oginal flash tool method? Also you are using. USB 2.0 port correct? And the cable that came with the phone?
[G3 General] LG3user:
Thanks for the guide you save my LG G3!!

:good:
[G3 General] jouhisorsa:
Hi and thanks for answering!

Positive, I'm using USB 2.0 port straight on my computer with the original cable.

I also now have tried both methods described in post #1, the KDZ and TOT methods. On KDZ method the Flash Tool complains how the device is disconnected and doesn't do anything after saying that and on the TOT method any of my computers doesn't show any ports on Device Manager.

So I guess I'm on a dead end now with this. Do you have any idea in what to try next?
[G3 General] hyelton:
So your looking under commucation ports in device manager? If your using Windows 8 or 10 those maybe hidden
[G3 General] jouhisorsa:
Now I got the COM port to show up and the FlashTool even gets the USB connection to the device. Now the recurring issue is with the FlashTool. It says that it "Can't change to download mode 00000064".

I have tried the following procedure for almost 20 times: unplug, battery out, battery in, pressing up button, plug USB. Every time the FlashTool begins the process but ends up with the same download mode error. I did some googling, but nothing helpful came out.
[G3 General] hyelton:
And the phone is in download mode correct?
[G3 General] jouhisorsa:
Yes, the display says "Firmware Update" and shows USB icon correctly. At least I think that this is the "download mode" the LG software moans at. I got there by pressing the volume up button while the device is off and I'm connecting the USB cable.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yeah. Did you freshly put it into download mode?

Did you try the tot method now that you can change the com port to com41?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Kdz file if you want to do the kdz method. Or the zip and DLL for the tot method
[G3 General] DroidAND:
Strang problem

My device is D855. Flashtool gives error lite this "Conneciton to server failed. Try again in a moment." What is going on? Help very much appreciated.
[G3 General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
i think i $#$#ed up my phone and i really need help.

i have F460s version. and it was rooted. I decided to format it so I went to the settings and reset. now every time I turn on the phone it does the initial setup of the phone. and the home button is not working " on the touch screen it self. sometimes the notification area it self it doesn't work and I cant bring it down. there is nothing I can do. I really need help. does anyone has the files for this model ?

thanks
[G3 General] gunnarizbeast:
My G3 (tmobile variant) is sitting on the M update, and it won't run for some reason. If I do a normal flash of that, will it essentially be the same as an OTA? I don't want to wipe my phone, so I'm curious if I can use flash tool to update since the OTA update isnt working.
[G3 General] markowic:
I have a problem I cant get into stock rocovery mode, I tried to put in a mod and I erased some file and now probably missing any. I cant flash my g3 I have tried all ways. The worst is that I can not connect via usb. What should I do? Please help? thank you :confused:

software problem

Hi there i bought a LG g3 d852g10e from a Guy who was with Vidéotron carrier. I unlocked it because i am with Bell. I changed the apn to match Bell. My problem is that i only get 4G and no LTE. And for some reason I can't get MMS only SMS. Is there a way to install the firmware from bell which is d852. Everywhere I look I can only find a way to update the firmware not change it.

Thanks a lot.
[G3 General] zmaynard:
Accident

So i put the Sphinx D855 firmware on my D850. Now i can't get it to flash back to stock rom because it thinks its an 855. Any ideas?>
[G3 General] montrealhero:
How where you able to change your version number? I want to change my d852g to d852. Could you please point me on the right direction . thanks
[G3 General] hyelton:
With a D852g just flash a D852 firmware..
[G3 General] montrealhero:
Ok but how? Everywhere I look its asking me for a kdz file which I only seem to find a tot. I never done a flash before and I'm pretty lost.

Thanks
[G3 General] hyelton:
If you have a tot file then use the tot method, there's 2 methods in the OP :)
[G3 General] montrealhero:
I did try but every time its suppose to start the download it stops and and says can't update firmware because version don't match. Maybe I'm not using the right method. Could you link me a thread that explain the right way to do it

Thanks
[G3 General] hyelton:
This is the thread for the only and right methods. Try and and find a kdz for your model, Any reason your wanting to change the model number?
[G3 General] montrealhero:
There's no kdz for d852 yet and I want to change it because my version was from VIDEOTRON carrier which don't support LTE . I unlocked the phone to work with Bell carrier but only get 4g. And for some reason I can't send or receive MMS only SMS.
[G3 General] hyelton:
4G in some countries means LTE, also if mms doesn't work then youll need to make sure you APN settings are correct.
[G3 General] montrealhero:
My APN is Bell and I use the only one that's available. And the 4g I get is HSDPA only I looked in my device and it says no LTE.
[G3 General] hyelton:
For mms not working that be soully be your APN for that.
[G3 General] montrealhero:
Wow thanks i juste realized that I made a spelling mistake in my APN. I was sure it was fine but now my MMS are working. Thank you.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Your welcome ;). Glad thats fixed! Il look around and see if I can find a kdz when I get some spare time.
[G3 General] jouhisorsa:
I put it to download mode every time I started the process of flashing, if that's what you mean.

I specifically tried the TOT method. The KMZ method didn't work at all for me.

I have tried all these methods with Windows 7 on VirtualBox (no luck at all) and also on my native Windows 8.1, on which I got the TOT method to work at least like I described (until the download mode error).
[G3 General] hyelton:
Using this on a virtual machine is almost impossible that's never recommend. And on the native Windows 8 machine did you for sure your using a USB 2.0 port? Some newer machines have USB 3.0 only. Which will give the download mode error.
[G3 General] MRahi:
My LG LS990 is Updated to 5.0 But 1 issue (Not Registered On Network)

On Warid Sim card
[G3 General] hyelton:
That would be due to the LS990 is meant for cdma use only mainly. To use it with a carrier other than Sprint your prob gonna have to stick with certain firmwares.
[G3 General] MRahi:
i have the firmware LS990zv4 can i flashed it by lg flashtool 1.8 to my lg g3

---------- Post added at 03:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 PM ----------

Iam Upgraded to 5.0 network operator & Camera not working and warning at startup give me solution
[G3 General] TheOneNoob!:
Hey why don't you be polite and ask for a solution, not demand it.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Sorry no clue about downgrading for the Sprint model. Some sprint models cannot be downgraded. But that's your only chance of using the phone.
[G3 General] MRahi:
Opps that very bad I hate LG :(
[G3 General] hyelton:
That's not LGs fault. That's Sprint. Your model is only meant to be used on a US carrier for full use
[G3 General] MRahi:
Yes that my fault i,ve been flashed it with a unknown kdz firmware after that my phone was stuck at logo .

After that a friend flashed my phone by box after this my phone cam ,wifi and sim not working. iam a poor student and using this phone for my education purpose

Sorry for weak english :(
[G3 General] hyelton:
Since wifi and sim slot not working at all I'm going to assume the person flashed the wrong firmware.

error

hi i tried to extract a kdz file of 30b but there is a error. lg g3 d855
[G3 General] Palux:
Hello, i have one problem.

Story:

From Fulmics 30B -> LG PC SUITE -> 30C vodafone italy -> no problem.

30C -> root + autorec mm -> no problem.

Try LGUP -> i read #3 post e OK. Perfect. LGUP + 30C is OK, installed STOCK KDZ -> no problem.

30C -> root + autorec mm -> install Limitless ROM 30C -> no problem.

So...i want to try install 30C stock & again LGUP...BUT: Model Unknow (port COM is ok...only Model Unknow is the problem).

So...i think the problem is rom Limitless but ... i have installed Fulmics rom & LUGP again -> Model Unknow.

So... why? I don't have touch the driver but i have try to uninstall ed install again...all procedure again...nothing. Model Unknow....WHY?

EDIT: absolutely senseless.

I flashed the zip dumped 30C, but my G3 go to bootloop BUT now (with logo g3 on screen) LGUP detects my phone.

nosense ... now I run LGUP.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Why are you extracting it? You flash it not extract it. That's not part of my guide.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Your post is extremely confusing. If your flashing custom roms flash a stock based not custom. Your getting unknown because of that.
[G3 General] Silver-Hawk:
Hey guys,

Sorry if it's a little nooby, but this LG process of flashing is really new to me, and I've been trying to read as much as I can, but since I'm trying to update someone else's phone, I don't want to take any chances and am hence asking one last time for clarification.

The phone is an LG G3 D855 32GB International variant, in India, running Stock Android 4.4.2 (V10h-ESA-XX). It never recieved any further OTA's.

Now I'm trying to update it via the KDZ method, I have LG G3 D855 30B_GLOBAL_XX from http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/lg-g3-android-marshmallow-discussions-t3216143 , and I'm going for Clean install.

I've installed the LG drivers, and I'll follow your instructions as in Post 3:

Does this all look good? Am I missing something? It will work with the GSM bands etc, and this will not mess with IMEI etc Right?
[G3 General] aheeejd:
I've tried this twice now, I did not install the drivers the first time cause I knew PC could already see ls990. But in device manager I didn't have ports, so I installed drivers & then was able to see ports, made the com41 changes & ran everything else. I did have to unplug phone from cable to get it going. It all seemed to be fine, got to about 94%, said waiting for phone to reboot, so I unplugged & took battery out & rebooted, & got the green screen reset screen. Pulled battery again, same thing. So then I booted to recovery (that worked cause its stock now) & did factory data reset. Boot up, same green screen. And phone did not reboot on its own, I had to pull battery.

So I wondered if it didn't work cause I never rebooted PC, after installing drivers. I rebooted PC. So I ran again, this time phone did reboot on its own so I was thinking yahoo, its gonna work. But it didn't, it rebooted to same green screen, has the words reset & a big # 2 on it. Anyway, I pulled battery, rebooted, back to green screen. Back to recovery, factory wipe, reboot back to green screen.

The rom I had on phone was BarePapA - ZVA, & I used the 2015 tot method, with flash tool v1.8 & the ls990zv4 rom.

Should I try the kdz method or what, I can still get to recovery (stock) with buttons, & I can get to firmware by USB volume up button. Any ideas, thank you very much. Hope I supplied enough info for what I've done

Sent from my SPH-L900 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[G3 General] hyelton:
anything after 80% is done flashing. But did you choose board_dl? You must choose board_dl on the tot/dll screen on Sprint models. :)

There's no kdz method only tot for Sprint models.
[G3 General] JJT211:
I can't enter download mode either.

Its been a while (I've been on the G4 for a few months now), but I've performed this KDZ method many times before and have never had any issues entering download mode. I'm currently running Skydragon on 23C on a VS985.

I'm just simply trying to return to stock so I can sell it. Any ideas?
[G3 General] hyelton:
So your attempting to put it into download mode with the phone off using the correct button combo and while plugging it in to a USB 2.0 port?
[G3 General] JJT211:
Tried another USB port and bamm it worked! Thought all my ports were USB 3, but apparently not.

Thanks!
[G3 General] hyelton:
Your welcome :).
[G3 General] JJT211:
Just a suggestion, you should throw a note in the OP about the USB 2.0, would prob cut down on some of the traffic in this thread.
[G3 General] hyelton:
I think it may be somewhere in there. At one point it was anyway and some still asked :D.

I need to add a common problem post under the OP
[G3 General] aheeejd:
Yeah I know about the 80% & being done, but I saw nothing mentioned about sprint & the board DL, my fault as I didn't really read much of the posts, I just pretty much went by op. But anyway, ok so next time I do this, on the model config screen, lower left, action mode, I should check board DL & then continue on & I should be good then yeah? That sounds great, thanks very much sir. I'll report when I do it, & let know how goes.
[G3 General] aheeejd:
Setting it to board DL (for ls990) worked like a charm. Phone rebooted to strange screen that I've never seen, touch screen test etc. But I rebooted & it booted right up. Didn't fix my original problem, which was out of the blue, after a year of working fine phone will constantly turn off WiFi & not reconnect, when it does reconnect, it can be for only 5 minutes? I'm thinking for sure its a hardware issue, call sprint must I

That'll suck.

Thank you again op
[G3 General] hyelton:
Glad your back. But does this happen on every wifi network? Or just 1? Usually wifi problems are related to the router.
[G3 General] TheOneNoob!:
It also could be hour WiFi antenna. Like the OP said see if other networks work. Try 5GHz maybe? Good luck.

On another note:

Remember when I had no OTA's incoming after TOT method? The problem was my D852 had shipped with lollipop 5.0.1 as I remember! Awaiting the marshmallow update scheduled for the 29th of March. Thanks
[G3 General] hyelton:
I have added new MM firmwares to the OP.
[G3 General] TheOneNoob!:
Thanks hyelton!
[G3 General] aheeejd:
Thanks, I'm not 100% sure, had phone around a year mow. Always worked fine here at home. All other devices in home work fine to. Two days ago i went to hospital for surgery & phone connected to their wifi fine (open guest wifi) but i didn't have phone long enough to see if it ever dropped the wifi signal. I mean i probably had it a half hour & never saw it drop, then paperwork, going into pre op room etc, no phone.

So I've done the zv4 tot, & I've taken 3 ota's now, don't plan on taking another so i can still root. I guess I'm gonna call sprint & see what my options are.

5G seems to hold better then 2.4, but still drops. I've rebooted modem, router, did factory restore of router. I even called Comcast yesterday & tried to get a static ip address, but you gotta be a business for that. Anyway, a million thanks again
[G3 General] hyelton:
Your very welcome! If your using the Comcast provided Gateway modem (is the modem & router built together) Those are the worst you can use, along with paying for it forever. Static IP is your access outside the internet wouldn't help WiFi dropping.
[G3 General] babarbutt:
Is this work in lg g3 d851 ?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes the files are in the OP
[G3 General] aheeejd:
Comcast modem & the router i bought maybe 2 years ago, it's a Netgear duel band R6200
[G3 General] aheeejd:
I'm trying the wps way now, I forgot both 2.4 & 5g, hit wps button on router, then wps on phone & it seems to be holding. It still shows like I'm connected to 2.4 but I didn't type in a password. ****, just as I'm typing this I saw it drop & then reconnect right away. So frustrating
[G3 General] hyelton:
Wps is just an insecure way to not have to use a password. That shouldn't affect anything with your problem. It's always recommend to disable wps.
[G3 General] aheeejd:
Oh ok thanks. I think I'm gonna re-root & see what happens.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Ahh okay. Is it set to auto? Or did you manually select a wifi channel?
