Latin American Roms

Hello, I have a G2 from which I've learned this method and as soon as I got my G3 out of the box I immediately tried this. I went to this link http://lg-firmware-rom.com/ typed my imei (354150060215923) which I can share because I switched the phone due a card reader issue and if you want to add to your rom list to help some brazilians out:laugh anyway I was wondering if I can install any of these on my device because latin american countries models come with the codename D855P for some reason and I'm not sure if I could flash a more recent firmware from Europe for instance. Despite the abusive price practiced around these parts support is very slow and the software that came with it is very laggy and the battery life is so bad that makes me rock my old G2 more often than this novelty. Thanks regardless.

Hey guys, my Brazilian Unbranded LG G3 D855P 16GB just got the v10B update via LG PC Suite, and I managed to get the .kdz file.

I would like to contribute by uploading it, as AFAIK no Brazilian LG G3 KDZ is available yet.

Who should I talk to about uploading it?
[G3 General] marcosbob:
Is tour model unlock or carrier branded 'cause I'd like that I postes earlier about it my post is on the same page. Still on 10A very bad rather stick with G2.

Friend find the file to download, that way you won't need to updload yourself:

[G3 General] newsama:
Mine's unlocked, no carrier branding. LG PC Suite updated it today when I plugged it in. so it seems that D855Pv10B had already been uploaded, so there's no need for me to upload it myself.
[G3 General] krazyfrog:
Can anyone provide the direct download link for the firmware for the 16GB model for India? I have the link for the 32GB model here but I don't suppose that would work on the 16GB model. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53606494&postcount=1

HK firmware

Hello all and thanks for the tool, everything worked fine on my g3 d855 brought back from HK

But i got the same question as Japultra and i didn't understand your answer hyelton. I flashed the european kdz for d855 and when i check in the phone parameters i still find the HK version.

You're answer was to flash a european version but isn't it what i just did when using flash tool with the european kdz ?

Thanks in advance for your help because i'd really like to get the LTE on my new 3g :(

Hi guys!

I soft bricked my D855 modifying build.prop and got a bootloop. Tried to go back to stock, but for some reason LG Flash Tool is giving me an error:

Download FAIL!

Can't Change to download mode.

Is there any way to fix it? :(

EDIT: The problem was the USB 3.0. FIXED IT! Thanks for this thread!
[G3 General] Jak3Mac:
I've got the stupid Vodafone firmware on my phone so I tried to flash the generic version of the UK 16gb model but when it reboots to update the firmware it gets stuck at 0% and I have to remove the battery to turn it off. Did anyone else experience this problem and if so do you know how to fix it?
[G3 General] keithleyson:
Experienced something similar only it's the same 32gb firmware but only a higher version using LG flashtool 2014.

I Flash it again and it worked the second time.
[G3 General] dbaps:
I apologize...wasn't very clear there...Yes, the exact error is "Model Information Check Fail."

I will look for a Windows computer. Thanks again...
[G3 General] tersagun:
Hello there,

and I do have a quick question:

Why should we use this method with LG Flash etc. if we already have TWRP? Asking this as an inexperienced Android user.

I've been playing with TWRP method and installed few ROM's already. Cannot I use just download the official stock ROM and flash?

Or am I missing a vital point here? :)

Thanks.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Your missing the point :p

There's no official firmware that can be flashed via twrp. If it's not flashed via this method it's NOT stock.

Along with this flashes every thing modem, kernel , etc.
[G3 General] tersagun:
Cheers mate. So there is a structural difference between stock and custom ROMs.

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

[G3 General] wethead4:
i follow the directions for the kz method for the verizon variant however when i use lgtools to flash it says that i need to connect it. it is connected in download mode via usb. anything i'm doing wrong that is preventing my phone from being read?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Are you sure its plugged into a USB 2.0 port and not a 3.0 port? Using the original USB cable? And did you make sure it's showing up under device manager under ports?
[G3 General] wethead4:
Yep, it gets to about 28 percent and lg tools says it is the phone is disconnected from the pC. i'm able to connect to it and access the sd card etc when booted into android, but for some reason in download mode i'm having trouble.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Are you using windows 8? If so that could be the issue. The drivers for download mode are different than what's needed for accessing storage when phone is on.
[G3 General] wethead4:
re they different from the one in the op?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Is what different? Drivers? Use the drivers from the OP

Correct KDZ File

I'm brand new to this forum and to Android...so please bare with me :D

I have an LG G3 Stylus, D690 with dual SIMs. I am from Canada but working in Ukraine for a while. I bought the phone cuz I need two SIMs for work and for the cool factor!! We don't have dual SIM phones in Canada. I bought it in Ukraine and it came with Kitkat 4.4.2, which worked quite well. I upgraded the software to Lollipop 5.0 and I'm not too happy with it as the battery drains much quicker than with Kitkat and some other functions are different.

Long story short...I have looked around for the correct ROM so that I can go back to Kitkat 4.4.2 but I don't seem to be able to find one for my phone. And, the D690 ROMS I do find don't mention whether it's Kitkat or Lollipop and/or for a one or two SIM phone. Could someone please send a link to the correct ROM. I don't mind flashing the phone but I don't want to use the wrong ROM.

Thanks...
[G3 General] hyelton:
Well if the D690 is dual sim only then it would be for dual sim. Unless your model has something ending to it. Just look at the version number beside the model and compare it to what's under your phones setting and software info. If the number at the end it say 10b and your phone is running 20b then 10b is kitkat.
[G3 General] Alucard:
How do i enter recovery and how to download mode?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Download mode and recovery are 2 Different things

Download mode it's in the OP.. Everything is there.

hold vol up while plugging in USB cable that's plugged into your PC. While phone is off.
[G3 General] Alucard:
Thanks,i couldnt find it in the op,ididnt search it thorough perhaps.
[G3 General] Alucard:
Does official lollipop have issues with wifi sometimes when you enabling it doesnt turn on and when tirning off and on again it works,or is it my phone only?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Never had that issue. Unless dirty flashing or not factory resetting.
[G3 General] biskazz:
Hi guys.

Never had any problems flashing .kdz with the flash tool but I'm curious what exactly Reset time option does?

Couldn't find any info about it even looked it up in the original Vietnamese thread as far as google translate does something.

I've flashed over 20 times no problems at all. Tried changing the value once, still no problems. Any Ideas?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Means rebooting.
[G3 General] tksalarzai:
Apps problem

i got many apps with this firmware when i boot up they start installing and they are more than 100+ some are in other languages and i cant uninstall them. please help
[G3 General] biskazz:
Rebooting when? Rebooting what? Did not understand.
[G3 General] hyelton:
You'd need to explain more than that There's hundreds of firmwares. Are you running lollipop? 95% of those apps when you first boot are system apps. If you have a few apps that are in another language that means you flashed a firmware with that bloatware or it loaded bloatware from what originally came with your phone.
[G3 General] hyelton:
When flashing, rebooting the phone.
[G3 General] otonnel:
Hey guys, i have a noob question, require some assistance here.

I have a D855 16G, bought from Spain. Before flashing custom rom i had lollipop. Now i want to revert back to stock, i want to use the first method but i can't seem to figure out which firmware to download. In the directory listing i see Europe common 16G and i also see a lollipop folder above with other files in it. Or should i choose other country? Can someone point me to the right firmware please?

Thank you for your time.

Hello I want to downgrade to kitkat for rooting purpose,im d855 v20i,which firmware should i download,please someone reply and thanks in advance:)))))

I Downloaded The Europe common d85510A eill it work on mine?
[G3 General] Godra:
Does it matter what metode I use (old or 2015 one)?
[G3 General] hyelton:
You can use any of them as long as it matches your model.
[G3 General] hyelton:
What do you mean? In the OP there's a tot and kdz method, it depends on what model or firmwares are available for the model.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes that would work fine ;).
[G3 General] BigPickle80:
Hi I'm having trouble getting any of the download links to work on first page. I'm just getting a blank page.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Working fine here, I rebooted it 10min ago and it might had been down for 1 min.
[G3 General] BigPickle80:
yeah i got it working now so you were right just a small down time. But alas i have a bigger problem.

I have a D85520 with O2 UK and the only file i could find was "O2 UK D85520f_00.kdz". No tot file or dll file.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Use the kdz method. There's no tot for that one. If you want to use the tot method you'd have to use generic one.
[G3 General] BigPickle80:
ahh now that makes sense... derp.

Thanks man
[G3 General] hyelton:
Anytime ;).
[G3 General] troy_glenn:

[G3 General] ArcaneDraco:
im having trouble using the tot method, im on verizon g3 with 11c, and it keeps failing after about 10% with "cannot communicate with phone"
[G3 General] hyelton:
Check your connection, working just fine in several locations.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Are you making sure your using a USB 2.0port and in download mode? Also changed your com port to com41 in device manager?
[G3 General] ArcaneDraco:
i am in download mode, com41 is set, and i tried changing ports, seeing how its gonna go now.

Edit: it keeps going between LAF: Bin_user_mode, PRIMARYGPT, and MODEM, then it fails

Edit2: and im stuck in download mode, Wont boot to anything else other than factory recovery

yet another edit: im pretty sure its a problem on my cables end not sitting in it correctly, it failed at 13% at RCT this time at 3122s, i went and got a new cable and am gonna try that...

final edit....: yep, it was the cable... new one got me thru in about a minute. booting up 10b now! you're a bamf dude!
[G3 General] troy_glenn:
It has been working for a while. They WE'RE down however. My network connection was just fine. I looked on isitdownrightnow.com and it confirmed that it was not responding. It eventually came back up and I was able to download the necessary files. Thank you for this thread! :)

Stuck

Hey guys I've tried the .tot method at least 30 times all with the same error message "DOWNLOAD FAIL" after 14-15 seconds. I had developer options enabled in settings, I've used 3 different USB cables in 2 different USB 2.0 ports on my windows 8.1 machine, my phone can go to download mode, the drivers were successfully installed, I set the port to COM41, and had all the necessary files(DLL,tot, etc.) In the lg flash tool folder. I even tried running lg flash tool in windows 7 compatibility mode. I am on D850 and I'm currently running a custom ROM based on 5.1.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Okay first of all I know you explained a good bit, you never said the exact error in flash tool. Why did it fail? That would be more helpful. It gives an error under the download failed.

Also USB debugging does not have anything to do with flashtool, it's not in the guide. If it's not in the guide you don't have to do it. So you changed the correct port in device manager to com41? The reason I ask is by default windows 8 likes to hide them and you have to unhide them.

Last thing which goes back to my first question, you said you where running a custom rom..., is that based on a different model? If so there's your problem, and in which flashtool will tell you that that's why I asked about what did the error say.

If flashtool is saying wrong model/Dll then that's your issue. You'll need to either use an hex editor to edit the tot to whatever model your custom rom is. OR flash a rom that's a D850 based rom, then use flashtool to flash back to stock.
[G3 General] rgb2017:
Hey,thanks for the reply. I will run the flash tool once I get back home to show the exact error shown . And yes, I rebooted my computer and the drivers showed up in device manager whereby I changed it to com41. I am running a ROM called Tesla ROM which is an aosp rom made for different devices. Even after trying the the flashtool while running a custom ROM based on stock d850 software, the process of restoring to stock failed. I have downloaded the dll and tot for at&t d850 as well. All the necessary files in the flashtool folder. I will report back with the exact error when I run the tool again.

Edit: tried on another computer and the flashtool worked like a charm, appreciate everything.
[G3 General] BigPickle80:
I'm having an odd issue, I have this error below when i flash as per the kdz method.

I have a UK G3 on the O2 network. When ever I reboot i get this error but also i noticed there was an Orange app installed with this .kdz and the voice mate goes utterly haywire and cannot be disabled. I also know that the voice mate app wasnt on the orginal rom either.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Did you perform a factory reset before and after flashing?
[G3 General] BigPickle80:
no i didnt, im guessing i should have then?

#Edit. I did a factory reset, reflashed then did a factory reset again and the error still persists. This isnt the stock o2 rom i think as it has orange app on there.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Well an orange app would not cause that. Have you tried just flashing a generic Europe kdz?
[G3 General] BigPickle80:
no i havent tried that but my phone has developed a fault with the headphone socket so i need stock 02 rom for when i return the phone.

Will try flashing the generic europe one tomorrow when i get a little more time.
[G3 General] BigPickle80:
Ok i flashed Euro, no error from what i saw but the build is Android 4.41 and not Android 5.0.1 which is what i had with stock rom. I am going through the software updates but I'm pretty sure its not gonna get up to Android 5.0.1.

In the mean time is there anywhere else i can look for the stock 02 rom? I've googled it but not found anything for 02.
[G3 General] hyelton:
The stock O2 should be the on you where flashing before. Haven't had any problems out of it before. After I get up I'll re upload it and post when I've done so.

LGKDZ.com showing nothing with my imei

I've bought Amazon G3 16GB Version from Spain (D855 - International Version)

It came with Lollipop without updating anything (no bloatware, its completely free)

Should I be flashing this? Europe Common 16G D85510A_00.kdz?

What should I flash to go back to stock rom (lollipop) and stock recovery? Im running twrp and latest cloudy

Thank you (:

Edit: Sorry for my retardness, I've just found out lollipop folder and inside of it the d855 folder

http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/Lollipop+5.0/D855/

now my question is, which one should I flash given my device?

D85519C_00.kdz

D85519H_00.kdz

D85520a_00.kdz

D85520h_00.kdz

what are the difference between these?

Thank you again

Edit2: Okay im retarded x2 :D I've read every kdz is fine, which one is the latest? Will they know when I return it to them?

Edit3: Done it, D85520h_00.kdz seems to be the latest one, thanks a lot for the guide!

yeah everything went successfully and end the end my pphone was stuck in "factory reset status 3" is this normal?

now can i submit phone to lg for repair?

back to stock but status still shows modified

I have looked many places but maybe not enough please forgive me! How can i fix the phone showing modified after i returned it to stock?

I used the method with the LG Flash tool and the tot file for the 10b version, the last time i did it, the status was official but not this time.
[G3 General] hyelton:
It's a glitch with LG. flash over stock and see if it goes away. It doesn't affect anything or actually mean it's rooted/modded.
[G3 General] CommTechDX:
I will try that tomorrow and flash the 10B again and the back up to 5.0.1 hopefully that should get rid of the modified remark :) thanks for the reply!!!

Hi guys, does doing this bring me back to completely stock as in stock recovery, unrooted and stock ROM? And If I'm running on a custom ROM now with TWRP recovery installed + rooted, do I just directly flash it according to the guide or there are other requirements for me to do? Thanks in advance
[G3 General] achaeminid3:
Hi, sorry for the noob question. Im trying to go back to stock rom, either kitkat or lollipop. W/c do you think will be easier or better? Kdz or tot method? Really sorry, im noob for this. Was having trouble with flashing any kernel on twrp where my phone goes to homescreen after reboot but it auto restart, then does the same thing after restart. and this is my last option. Maybe after going back to stock or full manual flash, it could help so that when i root and install twrp it'll not happen anymore.

Thanks for the inputs and have a great day!

I have the sprint lg-g3. I've hit a brick wall and not sure what I'm doing wrong..I'm on lollipop and trying to go back to zv4. I did everything that was posted about 20 times now. I get thru all the steps fine, I've changed the port to 41. The lg flash tool never shows my phone as connected. I plug and unplug and nothing. I've tried all my usb ports.. I've tried all my 3 different cables and it's the same on both laptops. I did a hard reset on the phone. Still the same. Any clue what I'm doing wrong? I'm using the tot method.
[G3 General] hyelton:
First of all whats your model number?

You use the tot method if tot is only available and you use the kdz method if thats what available.

It depends what firmwares are available for your model.
[G3 General] hyelton:
So your changing LGE modem or LG serial port under com ports in device manager right?

Using a USB 2.0 port and not a USB 3.0 port?
[G3 General] achaeminid3:
Thanks for the response! I have a d855 so either of the 2 will work :good::D
[G3 General] Dvin211:
I'm using a USB 2.0. It's an Asus G72 laptop. I put the phone in download mode, then went to device manager, ports then LG serial port. I changed the port from 7 to 41.

Nothing changes in the Lg flash tool. The upper corner that's port 41 stays the same. I tried unplugging the phone for 5 sec that didn't change anything. Lg flash tool acts like the phone isn't connected. Thanks for the help.

Hi [MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION], first of all, thanks for the awesome tutorial. I was looking to bring my phone (Canadian D852 model) back to Lollipop firmware, but it seems like you only have the kdz for Telus (Lollipop), and the Tot for Bell and Rogers (Kitkat). Do you think you could add the Lollipop kdz or Tot for Bell. Or can I just flash the Telus on my Bell device, they are both D852, but I thought I would ask before I do so. Thanks again for the hard work :)
