From here http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/T-Mobile+G2/ I downloaded the zip and the DLL file. The only thing that was extracted from the zip file was a large tot file.

and here's the folder
[G3 General] bobbarker2:
I have the same problem. Did you figure out how to fix this?
[G3 General] NoClipPazazio:
Yep. Turns out I had installed the wrong drivers for my Verizon phone. I uninstalled those and installed the Verizon drivers from the IOroot thread . After I installed these drivers my phone finally showed up as a COM port and I was able to use FlashTool to get back to stock. Here is the link to the correct drivers: https://mega.co.nz/#!58YHAZaQ!yNlgZG1m7toHBZp_0HF1jSQ66gMoZmmiDrNq9W5aJIc

When you run the installer it looks like it doesn't do anything at all, so check under your installed programs list to confirm that the driver is installed.

**Also note that the link to the Verizon specific driver in the OP of this thread does not work. Someone may want to fix that.

[MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION] I just posted a video guide on how to unroot the LG G3 you can put it in the main post if you'd like! :good:

[G3 General] :
anyone rooted D855 BRANDEND BY 3 ITALY?
[G3 General] MorenoMdz:
Hello there, I just bought a second hand G3, it is on the 4.4.2 still, from what the guy said it is from europe and I am using it here on Brazil, also it is rooted.

What I want to know is, should I go back to the original fw to then check for a 5.0.x update, if yes how should I do this? Should I just go ahead and update to a custom fw, if yes what one, what are the options?

Sorry for that many questions, but looking around here there is to much info for a newbie like myself that I am not sure where to start!

My device info:

Model: LG-D855 16gb

Baseband: MPSS.DI.c1.13-00009-M8974AAAAANPZM-1.01701338.5067.1

Kernel: 3.4.0

Software version: v10m-twn-xx

Thanks for the help!
[G3 General] MorenoMdz:
Ok after a bit of research I figured out my device is the international from taiwan, could get it back to stock using this tutorial, I chose the european common rom, but that doesnt have any update yet, is there a room I can use on my device that will bring it to 5.0+ stock or should I go to some custom room? I really don't want to lose the original camera stuff!

Thanks!
[G3 General] vagelis74:
Flash custom rom lollipo,crash 2.1 is perfect buttery life is awesome and the camera like the stock,all the rom is stock lg lollipop[emoji5]
[G3 General] Brickman221:
Hey, I am trying to download the KDZ file for the Verizon model, and the download is incredibly slow. Is there any way you could post a mirror to the same file? Thanks!
[G3 General] hyelton:
Did the read the OP? All the files are hosted on my server which is on a 2GB connection its not slow :). If your having a slow download check your ISP or use a download manager.
[G3 General] levelik:
I read the post and added the posibility to store older firmwares.
[G3 General] OptimusOBrien:
Im in download mode but I cant change the Com from 3 to 41. Any help would be great guys. I have the Rogers version if that makes a difference

EDIT: Got it!!!!
[G3 General] hyelton:
Explain? There's no reason why you shoudlnt be able too. So your going to device manager and then ports and changing the one call lgemodem?
[G3 General] OptimusOBrien:
I didnt see the advanced options in the device viewer..noob mistake lol thanks for the guide I got it running perfectly again!
[G3 General] hyelton:
Welcome :) glad your back up and running :D
[G3 General] TetraSky:
I've got an issue.

I literally just got this phone yesterday, rooted it and now there's a purple line in the middle of the screen after 2 hours of use.

I was looking into this (go back to stock) to undo the root in order to RMA it, but my provider is FIDO (Canada 852 model). Which ROM can I take and will it be identifiable, for example, if I install the Rogers ROM, will it have Rogers specific bloatware/branding on it or something?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes.. It will have Rogers bloatware etc. Keep in mind when getting a new phone test it for a day or before rooting in case of any hardware problems.
[G3 General] TetraSky:
Alright, thanks for the clarification.

Is there any FIDO firmware available for the LG G3 anywhere?
[G3 General] CroCarp:
So, if any1 could help me out it would be amazing. I rooted my Tmobile version of LG G3 (D855, F/W V10d-219-01) with purpledrake root, but now got update noticce that Lolli is ready for me (after 2 months). I want to do it legit, so i want to unroot it, BUT, I have no idea what do download from firmware files listed in the first post. Could some1 help me out with that?
[G3 General] RaDi:
Sorry to ask here but really I'm confused and I dont know which method or file should I use. so I apologize:)

I'm on lollipop rom and I want to go back to kit kat so I can root and use custom roms.

I have LG G3 international model , D855 32GB version. so which method and which file should I download ? also around g3 forums i found this devices codes like D855 - 10A/B/C ... is it device model or firmware ?

sorry i'm used to samsung/sony devices .. this is my first lg :)
[G3 General] hyelton:
Samsung and Sony are a ton easier to flash haha. But just make sure the model number matches. The letter is the version. The higher the newer it is.
[G3 General] RaDi:
thanks bro,

there is two files

* Europe Common 16G D85510A_00.kdz

* Northern Europe D85510A_00.kdz

which one should I use with international G3 D855 32GB ?
[G3 General] CroCarp:
Could you help me out maybe? :(
[G3 General] ThePagel:
First thing, T-Mobile is d851. The first post has a guide what is confusing you about the guide?
[G3 General] CroCarp:
It's international, I just figured it out... But still, there is no F/w V10d....
[G3 General] phcahill:
T-Mobile UK
[G3 General] CroCarp:
It's international, I just figured it out... But still, there is no F/w V10d.... Now I still don't know which file to download, this: Europe Common 16G D85510A_00?
[G3 General] hyelton:
As I said the letters are version numbers. You don't have to flash the exact version.
[G3 General] CroCarp:
So, I should be OK with this European version?
[G3 General] CroCarp:
Ok. I did download that file, everything went OK, but when I booted and wanted to do OTA, it gives err 0x1111004. What is this error?
[G3 General] hyelton:
What gave you the error? The phone? When going to software update? Giving what it says helps more sometimes than the error # lol
[G3 General] CroCarp:
After the phone rebooted, the error was shown on screen.
[G3 General] hyelton:
After ota? After booting from flash?
[G3 General] CroCarp:
After OTA.
[G3 General] hyelton:
That means rooted then, DId you perform a factory reset after flashing back to stock?
[G3 General] CroCarp:
Yes. Multiple times. Still nothing. Root Checker said that there was no root on the phone.
[G3 General] trenty12:
When you flashed did you do 'Normal' or 'CSE' flash? Do CSE if you didnt already that will do a fresh factory install, normal just 'updates' your current config keeping all your settings/files.
[G3 General] CroCarp:
I did CSE, problem is that I got tons of bloatware, a Polish or something version and I wanted fresh clean stock version. I got it now from LG-phone-firmware.com. Works like a charm.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Just to let you know what website is NOzt allowed here on XDA.

But I am glad your back.

Keep in mind some firmwares will have bloat some dont it depends on what you you choose.
[G3 General] CroCarp:
I'm sorry, I didn't know about the website.

I flashed 3 different International versions, all 3 had tons of bloatware. But, it's all good now, lollipop is active an running. Thanks for all of your help. :)
[G3 General] trenty12:
Out of interest, which KDZ did you use? I spent ages trying to find an unbloated International KDZ. In the end I found a unbranded UK one which was actually better for me.
[G3 General] CroCarp:
From the site i posted earlier, i used Croatian one (v10d), it was previously on my device.
[G3 General] almmpt:
Can I Downgrade?

I have the international D855 V10H stock version, I want to downgrade for make root and have a custom firmware, can I flash D855 D85510H_00.kdz with Flash Tools 2014?

Thanks
[G3 General] hyelton:
So you have a D855 running v10h and want to downgrade using a v10h firmware? That makes no since as that's the same software version.
[G3 General] almmpt:
Sorry

I have V20H Lollypop and want to downgrade to V10H KitKat using flash tools 2014? Is possible right?

Thanks and sorry for my lapse
[G3 General] vagelis74:
Yes it possible,downgrade my phone from lollipop to kit kat.[emoji4]
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes its fine you can upgrade and downgrade. It's just your post had said V10H [emoji14]
[G3 General] almmpt:
Thanks

Thanks.

I know that i can downgrade from V20F to V10F, i read lots about it.

My first question is can i downgrade from V20H to V10F, because i dont know if LG may implemented some new securities in V20H.

Sorry for my english.

Thanks for all.
[G3 General] raptor2003:
Yes you can.
[G3 General] Jangla:
Tried the Flash Tool a few times now and always get this error: http://puu.sh/fRNQP/db8b3906a3.png

Anyone got an ideas how to fix this?! Does the app even create a log file I could post to help?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Download the kdz using a download manager? Phone in download mode?

Checking device manager under ports to make sure LGEmodem shows up?
[G3 General] Jangla:
Yup, yup and yup. However, having now searched back through the thread, Virtualbox may be the issue (although I've successfully completed the tot file version of this process on a VM before).
[G3 General] hyelton:
When doing things like that you should also say if a virtual machine is being used. That could be your problem, anything to do with USB in a virtual machine has never worked right for me lol
[G3 General] digitalrelic:
Does anyone know of where I can get a stock firmware for the AS985 model? I can't for the life of me find it anywhere.

Thanks!
[G3 General] hyelton:
You mean LS985? In the OP
[G3 General] mantarayr:
Does anyone know can I go from V20e-GLOBAL-COM to V10e-EUR-XX 32GB version?

Just got this phone and there is very little info about this GLOBAL-COM firmware variant.
[G3 General] Jangla:
So, dragged my old Windows laptop out and got the process going. I know it's been mentioned in the thread but it's worth adding to the OP: If you get an error that says it cannot contact the server, just say OK and leave it to run. It will continue to work in the background and your phone should start to indicate that the update is happening! I nearly quit out of the whole thing but my phone screen updated right at the last second to show something was happening :)
[G3 General] hyelton:
I have added SPRINT LOLIPOP

guarantee question

i have lg g3 HKG 32 Giga version . i am on stock rom without root ver 5.0 V20b-HKG-XX .

i wanna the new one V20h but my phone dont find this firmware for update and say (i run newest OS )

if i flash the new firmware with LG Flash Tool 2014 as post says i lose guarantee from lg ???
[G3 General] hyelton:
I have now created an IMEI checker site to get the KDZ directly from LG if you want the EXACT firmware for your phone

www.LGKDZ.com
[G3 General] 573v3:
Is that the same as this Site?....http://lg-firmware-rom.com/

:confused:
[G3 General] igor_anta:
Is there a risk of the EFS folder being deleted when flashing KDZ firmwares using the flashtool? I just got my phone back from repairs since I didn't back up the EFS when I rooted it, so I'm a bit on the careful side now :)

Also just to make sure, the Europe Common 16G firmware is good for both 16GB and 32GB models am I right? Or should I get another one?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Well you have to be rooted to back up EFS you cannot do if before [emoji14]

Yes the size doesn't matter for the G3.
[G3 General] igor_anta:
Yes I know, I was rooted but didn't back up the EFS and lost it from flashing roms on a daily basis :)

I'm asking if there's a risk of losing the EFS folder from flashing KDZ? Thanks.

EDIT: All good, reverted back to KitKat no issues at all. Now let's root and backup that pesky EFS folder :)
[G3 General] hyelton:
Ahh so you already had done something before backing up?

Well I'm glad you got it :)
[G3 General] Gray99:
What firmware?

Hi, for the tot method, what firmware are you talking about in step 8?

"8) When the firmware is downloaded, boot your LG G2 into Download Mode. To do this, press and hold the Volume Up key and then plug the USB cable"

Thanks..
[G3 General] hyelton:
The firmware(tot file) you downloaded in step 1.
[G3 General] netswim:
lg Flashtools says that MegaLock.dll is bad dll. Is it ok or no?

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

OK I used another one and everything worked perfect. The only thing was that I had to remove battery to reboot during flashing.
[G3 General] in_dmand:
OP, can you check your server? i can't get this to download at all and I have tried it on two seperate connections. I can't seem to find this file anywhere except here and in this other thread, which isn't downloading either.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Cant get what to download? My server is running fine.. You didnt give me an exact download link, Theres 1,000s of them lol, Well if someone elses links are not downloading for you then its certainly a problem on your end or computer.

[G3 General] quasar99:
I'm currently on Lollipop 5.0 (V20f) and on Three network, UK.

I manually installed the firmware believing it was a genuine Three firmware. However my friend is on the same network and is on a differernt version.

I assume therefore that my phone doesnt have the Three firmware afterall.

Is it safe to go back to KK from Lollipop using the LG tool?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Really confused at the first part of your post. All firmwares Here are genuine firmwares...

Anyways yes its started in the OP that you can downgrade and upgrade.
[G3 General] quasar99:
Apologies for not being clearer. I was concerned that the kdz I installed was not a Three kdz, but from another network. I was concerned that this would prevent OTA firmware updates. Hope that makes more sense?

Like I say, a friend has the same phone on the same network but has a newer firmware installed (via OTA updates). My G3 gives me a message that I have the most up to date firmware. My friends G3 also has the new lollipop button icons (back/ home) whereas i have still have the KK style buttons.

Confused
[G3 General] hyelton:
Maybe your friends phone is not a Three phone. Or running Three firmware. I don't think Three even has the update yet but I'm not sure.

Also keep in mind for ota to work on LG sometimes you gotta reset your phone several times as well has make sure its exact model and imei matches in the carrier computers.
[G3 General] quasar99:
Thanks for your help. I guess I will just need to be patient and see if it updates eventually.

Thanks again
[G3 General] dferg:
hi sorry im a bit confused so I thought I would ask before trying myself.....

im on 3 UK and upgraded to lollipop v20f and now Miracast doesn't work so im looking to downgrade to KK hoping it will work again.

I was looking at the OP and trying to find v10f file or whatever for my phone but the ones listed for download in the UK folder for Three are v20 like the one I have just upgraded to.

The v10's in that UK folder are for Vodafone and O2, but not Three.

Do I just need to get the Europe Common v10A one and use the tool kit with that?

thanks in advance :)

VZW serial driver?

I've got the VZW G3 and trying to go back to stock but I don't think I have the right driver selected for the phone in download mode. I had to force the drive from the device manager but I'm not sure I selected the right entry because i started the flash but the flashing software is stuck at "waiting for connection". Any ideas?
[G3 General] hyelton:
I'm assuming your using the TOT method(you never stated). Not sure what you mean force the drive from device manager.

When in download mode does LGEmodem show up under com ports in device manager? Also did you change the com port to com41?
[G3 General] jetman36:
Yes im using the TOT method. I ran into the problem where the device wouldnt install the drivers after i installed the VZW drivers onto my laptop. is it supposed to show up as LGEmodem in the device manager?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes under ports, because as stated in the Op you have to change the com port to com41

V20H-ESA-XX

Hi,

Sorry for noob question.

My current software version is V20h-ESA-XX

Which firmware should i download?

Thanks.
[G3 General] dietoro:
regardless of the country you can choose your MODEL firmware.

Since the first post is not so clear I add this answer to a question of mine that I found around this thread.

Question

: Should country matter? OR only firmware MODEL kdz file? I am speaking about Directory Listing of //Xda/LG G3/Stock ..

Answer

: you can flash the firmware you prefer, REGARDLESS of the country it does NOT matter anything else that the MODEL number for example: D855 or D850, etc.. only be sure is according to firmware model.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Well mostly the D855. There's only ONE D850.

I'll add something like this to the OP. But I've answered that a ton of times here :p
[G3 General] hyelton:
Hope everyone has a Safe and Great Weekend :) Working my butt off this weekend! Got up an Updated Guide in the OP, Same Method Just more clean and with images :) I hope you all enjoy it.

Along with a Video added as well:)

I'm having the same problem too (Windows 7 Pro x64). I installed both LG drivers (LG_VZW_United_WHQL_v2.20.0.exe and LGUnitedMobileDriver_S51MAN313AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.13.2.exe) and it's not recognizing the LG G3 VS985 phone in download mode. Using TOT method.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Well if you have a VS985 then you should ONLY be installing the one for Verizon, you dont install both that could cause a problem .

Uninstall both those drivers, Restart PC and then ONLY install the verizon driver set.
[G3 General] ninjadan9:
Yes, I did exactly that but still the drivers are not being recognized.
[G3 General] almmpt:
Simple advice

Can I downgrade to KitKat my LG G3 D855 with V20H Lollypop using Windows 8.1 64 bit version?

Yes its said a hundred you can downgrade or upgrade [emoji14]

You can use windows 8 but windows 7 and xp are more recommended as windows 8 can cause problems.

[MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION] I know this is unrelated to the G3 but I'm looking for a kdz for my Gpad v410. I see you have a nice collection of kdz's. I went to kdz.com put my imei and it says v410 download firmware available, but nothing happens. Would you know any way else I could locate a kdz for my device? I feel like I've tried every site I can think of. Maybe you or somebody else has some connections I don't..
[G3 General] hyelton:
What kdz are you using? Your using a kitkat kdz correct? Did you perform a reset before and after flashing?
[G3 General] hyelton:
When you go to lgkdz.com enter the imei and it says available firmware you click that and it should start downloading.
[G3 General] speedyink:
I can't get the driver to install properly. The installer tells me the driver installs successfully, but windows tells me the drivers could not be installed. Doing the .TOT method. Using a D852, using the link for "any" G3 (ver 3.13.2). Win 7 x64. Any help would be appreciated, stupidly updated with a custom recovery so stuck in said recovery.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Depends what drivers are "not" installed? When the phone is download mode look under ports in device manager and see if LGEmodem is there.
[G3 General] speedyink:
Thanks for the quick reply, but I seem to have figured it out. It was the "LGUNITEDMOBILEDRIVER" that wasn't installing. I got it to work by downloading a version direct from the LG website. It's all installed an running now. Thanks for the tutorial!

iam using the kdz from lgkdz.com, i put my IMEI there and download the firmware. no i didnt. after flashing rom, i just wait and my android upgrade automaticly.

[G3 General] hyelton:
Means your prob downloaded the latest firmware for your phone which would be what you already had on it. When you want to downgrade you need to download a file from the OP links and not an LG server.
