Please remove the link, that site is not allowed here due to there practises. :p
[G3 General] tallman43:
Sorry didn't realize they had any dodgy practices I have removed link ;) Could you enlighten me on what practices this site does I have used it a few times over the last year and if its anything dodgy I won't be using again..Thanks :)
[G3 General] hyelton:
First they use adfly links which is not allowed on XDA, and then they are using those adfly links making money off LG servers, so there making money off leeching off someone else (LG). Also theres been times that most links are dead (because they're using LG servers and not actually hosting them) As well as misleading ads, like "Download Now" buttons and if you click them you download malware/junkware, and most who are not computer aware etc, will end up clicking them without thinking. I Dev-Host was also doing that as well.
[G3 General] tallman43:
Thanks for the info I use a adblocking software so none of the issues have come up plus I have great antivirus but thanks anyway for the heads up won't be using them again..;)

Hi,

my G3 can't boot. Yesterday i update my Messenger by Facebook app. After that, my phone became really slow. I tried to delete data, it didn't work. After uninstallation all was good. So redownload the app, launch it and freeze... Impossible to turn off the phone so i took out the battery.

Now the phone is still on "Android Update, 1 app of 1" even if i turn off and turn on again.

Any solution ?

My last backup is old... :/

I'm on KitKat stock rom whit root.

It's possible to flash again this rom without loose data ?

Can i use the 1st guide on the 1st post ? I'm in France, i've to choose my FW here ? --> http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/D855/France/

Which one ??

Thanks a lot :)
[G3 General] axewfious:
I decided to go back to stock kitkat so I can unlock my d852 BELL at a nearby mall. Everything went successfully but after unlock, my Fido(Rogers) sim has no signal on the phone. Could it be because of the kitkat baseband and modem? I installed CM13 and still no luck. Or maybe did the unlocker do something wrong?

I have Lg D850. I want flash indian stock lollipop or international one. Is it possible? if yes how.. plz let me know.
[G3 General] hyelton:
No you cannot. It's a completely different model. You'll result in a brick or loss of imei. You can only flash D850 firmware.
[G3 General] m-p{3}:
I'm having some issues with my d852 (random black screen, can't power it back on without battery cycling) and I'm wondering if this was caused by the method to put a custom recovery I used in the past.

Would this restore the device entirely as if it came from LG, including the boot partition, the recovery, etc using the appropriate KDZ file?

I would try a different method to achieve root on Lollipop and see if that fixes it (or send it back to LG if it happens to be some kind of hardware defect).

Thanks for your help!

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

Yes this wipes everything and puts everything back to 100%.

That is a strange issue so not sure.
[G3 General] Dene_Bluesman:
It is a known issue and no need to send it anywhere, gonna assume you used autorec?
[G3 General] LuninGaming:
Follow exact directions!!!!

Follow direct instructions you will be fine, wait for the process to complete, even if you get a big 2 screen. Dont unplug and it will change to a big 3 :D

[G3 General] rockyjacky:
if I just flash system.img of D855 & rest .img file keep as it is (D850) then ? I had installed indian firmware on LG G PRO E980 ATT. I never faced any problem. However I flashed international kdz on lg D850 by editing build prop. Flashed KDZ without any hassles butPhone could not register to network for some unknown reasons. Phone was able to identify network however could not register to network. IMEI was intact but IMEI SV was zero. Can you tell me what could be the reason?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Because Its NOT supposed to work lol. The D850 has completely different modem hardware than the D855. You'll need to just run cloudy or a custom rom thats based on a different model. Using official firmware is NOT going to work properly.
[G3 General] FahrenGrade:
have you found a solution to your issue?

i have run into the same problem!
[G3 General] hyelton:
I've mentioned this tons of times :p That error is due to running an incorrect firmware or you flashed a wrong firmware that its currently running. You'll need to use a hex editor to change the TOT file, or use the KDZ method.
[G3 General] kjwaugh:
It works flawlessly for me

So I have a d852 and I am in Manitoba so I use the local cell provider. There is no .tot or .kdz specific to my provider so I have restored my phone to stock 2 times without problems using a national provider's files (Rogers). We are lucky up here in Canada because the technology is fairly standard and built to inter-operate. I used the .tot method first about a year ago and had no trouble and then, since last summer, I have a .kdz for the rom and used that method; again with no trouble.

This last time I used Windows 10 and had recent LG drivers installed from the LG website for what it is worth. Thank you for your fantastic work in getting the support and instruction out here to have us take advantage of the various Rom opportunities etc. and to be able to get it back to stock. I have followed the posted instructions and it has just worked.
[G3 General] hyelton:
I'm glad it worked for you and thanks for the post :). Not sure what your getting at about being lucky up there :p. It's standard everywhere you can use that phone on my carrier here in the states or you can use my phone on your local carrier as well its not just Canada :) we can too. But I would love to visit there one day the network is probably better to say at least haha.
[G3 General] Legolas2:
Hi

I presume when flash to "stock" I will end up w/ KitKat. How do I upgrade to Lollipop?

The download link shows the Lollipop directory, but unsure in which step I am to use these files. The D850_20F_Lollipop_Stock.zip file contains .img and not .tot.

Any, all help would be appreciated.
[G3 General] hyelton:
I guess you have the D850. It will flash back which ever firmware you flash back. But to get lollipop you have to have an active AT&T sim and do an OTA update
[G3 General] DelphinusMinor:
That is what I used.

I am trying the tot method but there are two kz files. One is 1k and the other is 49k. I tried both in the flash tool and have tried normal and CSE flashing. Nothing.

Also, my device isn't showing up in the device manager. So I can't change port settings.

Phone model is LG G3 D852.
[G3 General] DelphinusMinor:
This is what shows in the device mangler.
[G3 General] Dionisis89:
The KDZ method mentioned here worked perfectly for my Canadian D852. Thank you very much. It was something that needed to be done, for because of me rooting the phone, I couldn't update via OTA even after full unroot. Now it's all good.
[G3 General] hyelton:
I'm. Confused as to what your trying to do. If your trying to do the tot method you use a tot file not kdz file as well as there's NO normal or CSE mode in the tot method. That's for the kdz method.

Also your phone has to show up first or it's not going to work at all. Are you sure the phone is freshly in download mode? And your using a USB 2.0 port and the cable it came with?
[G3 General] DelphinusMinor:
I m heading out for a bit but will give this another go when I get in.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Also in that screenshot it shows your setting your computers own com port to com41
[G3 General] DelphinusMinor:
Yea, but the phone doesn't show up in the ports. Maybe I'll try just the tot method in a few. Thanks man!
[G3 General] hyelton:
It needs to SHOW up in the ports before it matters what method. Both methods require the phone to be detected first. Right now it's your phone was not in download mode, the cable, or the computer.
[G3 General] DelphinusMinor:
It was in download mode, and the drivers installed no problem. Man, it's Vietnam all over again.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Well it's the cable or computer then. So it says download mode / firmware update on the phone screen?
[G3 General] DelphinusMinor:
Yes sir. I am using the original cable that came with it.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Maybe need to try another computer then. Either method won't work unless you see an LG com port under device manager.
[G3 General] DelphinusMinor:
I am going to try that later than. Thanks for the tips man. :good:
[G3 General] hyelton:
Give an update :)

sorry for my bad english

and also tried kdz files but it also gives error on 2 percent...my phone has got brick and only shows download mode
[G3 General] MrHydeIrr:
The mobile gives error while trying to flash the kdz or the lg flash tool? Because if the flash tool just ignore it don't klick enything. The flashing proces is going in the back even if the flash tool sais it can not connect. Just see on mobile screen the process.
[G3 General] hyelton:
If the error on flash tool is connection to phone error it's not going to flash. But if it's connection to server error that's what's normal.

Error

Hello,

I bought LG G3 D855 32GB for XMas..I somehow managed to screw it up already...

My problem is - when I start the phone, it goes immediately in Firmware Update, even when i plug USB cable..

I tried both methods:

KDZ method - seems the software is not able to connect with phone - i push 2x retri, but with same result - nothing happens and then the program allow me to exit.

TOT metod - i get always error when i get 6% . Im flashing: LGD855AT-00-V10e-EUR-XX-JUL-08-2014-32G+0.tot and LGD855_20140526_LGFLASHv160.dll

and it shows ERROR: Partition change f..... (i cannot see the rest, but my gues is failed)

Thanks for reply.
[G3 General] hyelton:
So your using a USB 2.0 port and the cable that came with the line correct? Where are you click retry?? If your getting network connection error that is normal you drag it over and ignore it don't click on anything

Hi,

Is it normal it takes more than an hour and a half?

On my phone screen it goes to 10% sometimes 11 and then jumps back to 1 but on my pc screen it goes reaallly slow and it is now 18%

any ideas or suggestions?

many thnx in advance
[G3 General] hyelton:
It takes about 20 min max
[G3 General] Yoghib:
do you have an idea what to do unplug it and try again in a different port

I now have an error as well
[G3 General] hyelton:
What's the error? Remember network error is normal and you move it out of the way
[G3 General] Yoghib:
Well it only says, Upgrade stopped due to error and then with the 1. disconnect phone etc etc, and at the bottom a grey retry button.

but the weird thing is it worked very slow but ok, it got up on my phone to 11% and the jumped back to 1%
[G3 General] hyelton:
You might need to use the tot method then
[G3 General] Yoghib:
Allright and now just unplug it and hope for the best

I have a dutch/international phone

---------- Post added at 04:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 AM ----------

Ok, so i put the phone in download mode using volume up and plug in the usb, launch flashtool, and select the netherlandsD855.kdz file.

Press start and it verifys the phone's setting pretty quick, extracts the software and then goes to 10% within a minute or two, but on my phone nothing happens.

And now it hangs again around 10% with the server error.

you said use the tot method but what firmware do I use then? the D851 from tmobile or something else?

thnx
[G3 General] Benni_LC4:
I have a big problem, hope for help..

At first I tried the tot method. But I get an error: "Download FAIL (14 sec)" "Can´t change to downloag mode"

The port is correct and the drivers are installed, I coppied the dll in the folder and replaced it.

Then I used the kdz method. Also an error..:(

Tried SCE Flash

I moved the server connection fail window away, not klicked anything. But in the main window I get an error "Upgrade stopped due an error"

Can you tell me what I´m doing wrong?
[G3 General] Yoghib:
so, i trying the Tot method but after 15sec i get FAIL saying cant change to downlaod mode. I tried to un/replug the phone it starts going and then hangs at 10%.

Anybody pls?
[G3 General] hyelton:
The error your having with the tot method means your phone is not in download mode or not using a USB 2.0. USB 3.0 won't work. Or not using the cable that came with the phone.
[G3 General] Yoghib:
I have the same problem, tried all ports on my laptop but it still cant change to dl mode.

On the screen it says firmware update. but it fails after 15s.

anything else i can try?

a lot thnx in advance
[G3 General] hyelton:
Changed your com port to com41?? Also are you using the cable that came with the phone?
[G3 General] Yoghib:
Yes, I did everything. Changed ports, using the cable that came with the phone, unplug replug.

it just keeps giving the error.
[G3 General] hyelton:
And your rebooting your phone each try correct? Like rerebooting download mode?
[G3 General] Yoghib:
I dont know i pull the battery and then hold volume up and plug in the cable.

Is there a correct way?

---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------

I just figured out that I only have usb3.0 ports, so that should be the problem.

I think ill try to get a laptop with usb 2.0 and try again later on.

Ill let you know.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes that's the correct way. Yes USB 3.0 won't work at all.
[G3 General] Yoghib:
Allright, I'm getting my hopes up!!

thnx and Ill let you know as soon as possible.

Hi all. I have a VIPnet/Croatia Branded 32GB D855 but currently on Fulmics 2.6 ROM. In expectation of the software update in Poland do you believe I could just flash the KDZ from the link below and expect to get MM OTA when it's available or do you think this will not work because of my IMEI being assigned to Croatia?

Wind Mobile (Canada) with a D851 20g

I am about to try to root this phone. I have had no success in all methods. I've just come to realize I have to downgrade using this method. I downloaded all the files in the OP. After and if I am successful what root method is the best/easiest to root my phone with? Purple Drake? Any help or advice before I even try this would also be very much appreciated. I've had several phones, all have been rooted. I can't stand not being able to do the things on this phone that it is capable of. Thanks ahead of time.

Possibly no downgrade

Be careful with updating using the kdz! It seems, that no downgrade/root/custom recovery is (currently) possible. Try to use the .zip-version instead.
[G3 General] Waqar UL Hassan:
When I was flashing KDZ with LG flash tool something happened. During flash process LG flash tool stopped responding but progress bar on my phone was not stopped so i waited a little bit and fortunately the flash was successful without any problem. Although "Not responding dialog" appeared and caused LG flash tool to shut down.

I am using windows 10.
[G3 General] hyelton:
But would most likely be due to something on your PC. But it'll still flash when it does that.
[G3 General] ryfly65:
There are like 5 different files inside of the D851 folder. The instructions on the OP say to download "the file", indicating just one of those in there. Which one should I choose?
[G3 General] hyelton:
The different ones are just different versions just flash the latest one
[G3 General] ryfly65:
All the files in the D851 folder have a date of July 2nd? Also, when you say "Download Mode" Do you mean boot into recovery? My recovery is currently TWRP. Will that work?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Those are the dates they were uploaded. Example 10m is newer than 10c. It also depends if your using the tot method the zip file or kdz method. No recovery is not download mode. You put the phone into download mode.
[G3 General] iamcray:
So I don't know where else to ask so I'm asking here. I was gonna go back to stock but before I did that I went and backed up my TI-X and flashed a quick CM13 build to see how it played out. Then I decided that I wanted stock but it didn't let me because "DOWNLOAD MODE WAS DISABLED BY KILLSWITCH" Apparently I had an antivirus on from my last backup and now I can't go to stock. I tried going back to my backup, disabling the antivirus and trying again but to no avail. I can still use custom roms because twrp is still there but is there any way to take out the "DOWNLOAD MODE IS DISABLED BY KILLSWITCH" message. Many thanks in advance if there even is a way. Didn't know Android could be this locked.

LG G3 D850 BTW
[G3 General] hyelton:
That's not good. Do you went into the McAfee app and disabled the setting? Disableing the app itself won't do anything.
[G3 General] Jelucyr:
Same trouble for me.

Impossible to upload a old KDZ.

I switch of McAffe but no result.

:(
[G3 General] hyelton:
There should be a setting in mcafee to turn it off. Switching it off/removing just the app will not do anything.
[G3 General] Jelucyr:
I disable everything on McAfee.

By the way, it's a litle bit different than imcray, I can enter in the "Download mode" but impossible to tranfert files (0%).

Everytime I put the USB cable when phone is on (not on download mode), it need a fonfim for this computer, so it's possibly something secure.

So no tranfert, no backup ...

Everything work properly today before 6.0, I think it's not my computer.
[G3 General] hyelton:
I don't understand. You don't transfer files in download mode. You use flashtools to flash a tot or kdz file.

If you have 6.0 official you cannot downgrade currently ...
[G3 General] MidnightDevil:
He can downgrade using the same method. Page 78 I think on TOT tutorial post.
[G3 General] hyelton:
I'm the one who made the guide ;p. But read they stated they have 6.0.. It's new and it does have issues with downgrading if they had flashed the official 6.0 they may not be able to downgrade.
[G3 General] Jelucyr:
Downgrad is impossible with .kdz ? What's a TOT ?

So no way to use my saved file with recovery ?
[G3 General] hyelton:
No. If you flashed official MM kdz you cannot downgrade. Go look at my G4 back to stock guide and follow post 2 and try using LGUP
[G3 General] MidnightDevil:
My bad, actually that's what I meant when I replied the first time. It was also using KDZ tutorial, like me.

I miss root, obviously, but Im positive a workaround will be found soon enough, even if downgrade is necessary.

One would think "meh, i can handle be without root".

NO YOU CAN'T! DON'T TRICK YOURSELF! ONCE YOU GO BLACK YOU NEVER GO... Oh wait...
[G3 General] Happy.D:
Hi,

just the info that I discovered - I was able to flash the phone with other dll, that i found on chines sites - but after flash the phone is totaly bricked.

So i opened the phone and discowered, that mother board is marked as: EAX65784001_1.0_D850_MAIN (but the phone was marked as D855)

For now im following [GUIDE][FIX][DISCUSSION] LG G3 Hard Brick Recovery and i will end up probably with flashing SW for D850..
[G3 General] hyelton:
This guide also covers the D850. If your phone is totally bricked that means it's bricked. Bricked means it's dead and no coming back. If it's soft bricked then you can fix. But if it's a brick you cannot fix that. I don't think some understand the meaning of brick.

If you have download mode just follow the tot method
[G3 General] Happy.D:
That is the problem, i cannot enter even the download mode and when i connect my phone to USB, windows doesn't recognize it anymore (i mean it does not appear in ports)

Now i have little bit hope - windows were able to recognize my SnapDragon (with battery out and shorting one pin from processor and GND) so i will be probably able to flash new software, but the question is - what kind of SW should i Flash on the PCB is D850 but on the case is D855 and I bought it like D855..
[G3 General] hyelton:
If you don't have download mode it's a complete brick
[G3 General] iamcray:
Yes I disabled everything in the app but regardless of what I did. It didn't let me in download mode. Kind of like [MENTION=7175822]Jelucyr[/MENTION]

situation but at least he was partially able to get on download mode. I'm just completely blocked from it.
