[MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION], I'm still experiencing the same problem. I tried on a different computer with a different cable, same problem. For some reason, my phone is stuck on 0% complete using both the KDZ and tot methods. Again, I'm running 5.1.1. and using a 2.0 port the entire time. Any idea what the problem could be?
[G3 General] hyelton:
When doing TOT method you are changing com port to com41 right?
[G3 General] AverageFail:
Yeah.

EDIT: When I use the TOT method, I sometimes get the error message in the flash tool "Model Information Check FAIL!".

EDIT2: This is apparently a known issue with the Verizon 35B/5.1.1. Update. I found some helpful advice on XDA, on another thread.

Here is the fix (Add to OP?):

Use this DLL rather than the one in the OP:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63266194&postcount=84

Check (while using the flashtool) that the port is still at 41

If it doesn't work using those bits of advice, try using board_dl rather than update.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Thats usually due to using a usb 2.0 port or bad usb cable. Or if the phone is not in download mode. So really no clue whats going on there if everything checks out.
[G3 General] AverageFail:

[G3 General] hyelton:
The link you provided is broken, But what DLL is it? is it the LGUP dll? cause that is the "universal" dll file which is also in the OP links :)

Glad you got it working!
[G3 General] AverageFail:

I guess it is. I'm sure it would be very helpful for LG G3 Verizon 5.1.1 folks to know that the universal DLL is the only one that will work for them.

Thanks for the guide!

Hello,

Please, anybody with AT&T stock marshmallow rom should please share the link
[G3 General] hyelton:
How would that even be possible?? The D850 Doesn't even HAVE MM yet.. Also when it does it would only be obtained most likely only by OTA update.
[G3 General] fOxunO:
In LGUP in refurbished can't sweep TWRP installed like LG Flashtool in CSE Flash , is it normal ?

I have one question .If doing downgrade to Lollipop from MM6 the OTA is working or not?(I'm in marshmallow now with manual method not with OTA)My phone is not rooted.Thanks:confused:
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes if you downgraded and reset and are stock yes you can OTA update.
[G3 General] taylaan:
i have a 'd855 v21a-SEA-XX' if i update to MM with LGUP ; can i use OTA after update? Thanks!
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes as they come available
[G3 General] taylaan:
if i install GLOBAL or EU anyway OTA will update SEA ?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Its supposed to erase everything... When flashing anything or going back to stock you must backup everything.
[G3 General] Helloworld294:
No its not... "Normal Flash" in FlashTool 2014 which only works for KDZ doesn't erase anything but the /system and maybe the /data partition.
[G3 General] hyelton:
But its still recomeneded to back up everything as your supposed to reset your phone afterwards. I'm just saying before anything always backup anyway.
[G3 General] Helloworld294:
Can't backup if you're stuck on bootloop... Since that happened to me my phone is actively synching with my dropbox. The entire data/media folder lol

---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------

Where can I get a KDZ file for D852? Or maybe a TOT to KDZ converter...
[G3 General] hyelton:
Dropbox is great :). Not sure where any D852 kdz files are at the moment. If I did I'd have them on my server.

There's no converter for them.
[G3 General] orlandson:
As [MENTION=4027761]jackrip5[/MENTION] says:
[G3 General] Helloworld294:
Then there's really no point in reflashing hah since transfer from PC to phone and vice versa takes 488226 years due to the retarded MTP (god I miss my galaxy S with an actual internal sdcard chip) and not everyone got +10GB space in their Dropbox. I've got 50GB cause of the GS3 promotion, so I'm lucky there.

Clarification for Verizon Users VS985

First, I have to say thank you for this tutorial. It's bailed me out twice already. But, I wanted to clarify some points for other noobs (like myself) while going through the process. I have the VS985, LG G3 for Verizon Wireless. These points are only relevant to this model and may not work for you.

1 - Verizon users must use the TOT process. KDZ files are not available for the G3, so the only option is the TOT method.

2 - The only drivers you need to download are the Verizon drivers. No need for the other ones too.

3 - If nothing happens after clicking the yellow arrow to start the process, unplug and re-plug the USB cable (from the PC side). This started the process for me several times. There is no risk to unplugging while in download mode, as long as no files are being transferred/written.

4 - After the flash is complete, my phone showed a big, red number 3 on a blue background on the screen. At that point, you should disconnect the USB cable and force a restart of your phone (press and hold the Vol-down button & power button for 10 seconds or so).

5 - That's it! You are now returned to stock. You can re-enter download mode and your system will state Official instead of Modified.

I hope this helps.
[G3 General] Helloworld294:
Yeah and everything you had apps/files are gone
[G3 General] Helloworld294:
Is there really no way to unpack tot files so I can extract the stock build.prop file?

I really need it since mine got cut in half. I haven't rebooted my phone for two weeks now.. Its starting to run out of "actual" free RAM and that's not good.
[G3 General] lenameishme:
I have a LG G3 cat 6 model F460S and currently i am running on F460S10i.

I would like to downgrade my software will this work for my phone?
[G3 General] Helloworld294:
Yes it'll work, just get the right FW and you'll be good to go. Don't forget to backup your internal sdcard since it'll get erased just like everything else.

Not working for me

I am not able to get either of these methods to work. First method there is no KDZ file to download for Sprint LS990 that I can find. On method number two everything appears to work up until step 14, holding power button down does not reboot my phone no matter how long I hold it. If I pull the battery and then boot back into download mode it sits at 0% forever. Any ideas?
[G3 General] hyelton:
I'm confused step 14 is booting into download mode which is REQUIRED to flash period. But you say its in Download mode? Then you need to check the drivers. As stated Sprint ONLY is tot method only. Make sure your setting your com port to com41
[G3 General] lrdmg:
KDZ

NO KDZ files for the T-Mobile LG G3?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Use the tot method.
[G3 General] hyelton:
No. OTA will base on current firmware and country installed.
[G3 General] taylaan:
So if i will install eu, ota works for eu? If i install poland, ota works for poland?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes. As it would be the same with any other device or model.

LGVS985SS?

So I followed this method to the T and am running into an issue that it seems no one else has had yet.

I was on a 6.0 rom when I saw a post on reddit about a gentleman getting the MM update for his Verizon G3. So I followed the steps in the 2015 TOT method. Everything went fine and I went back to KitKat. I went to update the phone and it told me that there were no updates available. I thought that was odd so I plugged my phone into my computer. When it pulled up the Verizon Update Assistant, it said that the model of the phone was LGVS985SS. Definitely odd. I don't know if that is the issue so I found the 23C kdz file and ran that through the flash tool. After that finished my phone still says LGVS985SS. I'm pretty sure this is the issue but not entirely sure. Any help?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Look under your battery and see what it says? Tot tool wouldn't had flashed if it was anything different, it would give an error so not sure if that it normal or not. But did you do a factory reset? Lg updates always act up for any model.
[G3 General] leaveitatthedoor:
Under my battery it says LG-VS985. That's why the SS on the end caught me off guard.
[G3 General] steevy1992:
Hi everyone. I had recently flashed the global mm kdz. I, earlier had lp 21a middle east version. I want to revert to lp. Which version should i flash? I cant figure out which one is the global version in the list. Appreciate if someone could help me. :) Cheers.
[G3 General] kebab2kuk:
My signal is dropping after updating to MM. I never used to have connection issues at home but the signal is dropping out for brief periods every 5min or so.

I'm using an unlocked D855. Based in the UK on O2. I updated using the LGUP method and installed the Europe D85530B_00_1217.kdz as a clean install.

Anybody else having signal issues?

I completed all the steps mentioned above. Still the phone is in boot loop. I am very upset, please help and suggest way forward.

D850 AT&T. Flashed stock rom TOT file through LG Flash Tool v1.8 as soon as the firmware is uploaded to the phone, the phone restarts and goes into infinite boot loop. I have even tried hard reset but no luck.

Please help, I am very upset now.
[G3 General] hyelton:
So it goes to at least 85%?? And you've tried board_DL? On the tot and dll selection screen?

Not sure what you mean by very upset now, don't go blaming the guide :p
[G3 General] dark_prince:
Press Vol Down + Power > On LG Logo, Release Power Button and then keep it pressed again till u reach factory reset screen. Choose Yes twice.

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

I cant find exact kdz or TOT link for D850 stock firmware. There is lollipop zip file but that's recovery flashable and doesn't contain tot / kdz.
[G3 General] hyelton:
You can't flash lollipop. Only KitKat. Which is in the OP Links. You must be rooted to use lollipop OR have an active AT&T sim and OTA update.
[G3 General] wes1099:
I followed the instructions in the OP and have had this work before, but this time it stopped at 94% and my phone has been stuck at the bright blue screen with a number '2' on it for hours. I pulled the battery and left it for another hour and it is back to the bright blue screen with the 2 on it. I tried following the instructions in the OP again and now it fails at changing to download mode. What should I do?

---------- Post added at 01:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 AM ----------

I think I have it working again, I just rebooted my PC. I will also try what dark_prince said to two two posts above.
[G3 General] hyelton:
When flashing it will almost always fail after 80%. That's normal. It's done at 80% the rest is just the reboot of the phone. Almost every time it will "fail". But the issue your having you need to choose board_DL on the tot/dll selection screen then flash.
[G3 General] rocky78:
hi there,

flashed the 30b global d855 (16GB) using his method and after that took the advice of some members and did hard reset (for good measures).

i was on version 21a.

went just fine. Without a hitch.

my d855 is new, so does my battery.

it was good on LP and the same now on MM.

the differ are:

no lags (beside chrome), no heatings (even after surfing), BT working good, so does WIFI, very responsive.

on chrome sometime a bit lagish...

beside that... all good.

thx alot to all the above for allowing to do this and enjoying my LG. :good:
[G3 General] hyelton:
Glad it worked for you! :). That video is pretty much a video of this exact guide [emoji846]
[G3 General] steevy1992:
I flashed MM global version on stock lp 21a AME version. The battery life seems terrible on MM. Its draining pretty fast and im not willing to accept that it is the battery problem as it was a lot better on lp. Did a factory reset 2 times but to no avail. Does it have something to do with the fact that i flashed it over middle east version? What if i flashed some other version like the European for instance? If none of them would eventually work out, which one is the lp global version in the list? Thanks.
[G3 General] rocky78:
i hope that video Will help others :o
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yeah it's already in the guide :)

I'm stuck at %11 in Lg Mobile Support Tool. Waited over 30 mins to get here. Any advice?
[G3 General] hyelton:
The method only takes 10 minutes at most. Are you sure your using USB 2.0 port? Phone in download mode ? Model?
[G3 General] okanb3:
D855. I tried 4 of my ports and only one of them works with Lg Mobile Support Tool. I dont know its 2.0 or not. Phone is in download mode and in screen it shows Com4 and %1.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Are you freshly putting it into download mode? Like rebooting it? It MUST be a USB 2.0 port. As USB 3.0 won't work so it does matter. Maybe try the tot method?
[G3 General] okanb3:
I was pulled out battery and tried to flash. As i wrote this, the tool gaves up and gets error. I'll look deper for usb 2.0 for mode and if it doesnts work i'll try tot mode.

I can try tot mode for flashing MM kdz file right?
[G3 General] hyelton:
What error? If it's network or server connection error you drag that away that's normal. Clicking on retry will disrupt flashing

There's no USB 2.0 mode.. It's the physical port. It will either be a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port.
[G3 General] okanb3:
No, not network error. I mean i'll look for Usb 2.0 on my laptop, sorry. And it seems my laptop doesnt have one.

Can i flash MM tot file with tot way?
[G3 General] hyelton:
If your laptop doesn't have USB 2.0 you'll need to use another computer. Both tot and kdz method require USB 2.0. And there's no MM tot.
[G3 General] okanb3:
Does Windows 7 or Windows 10 matter? Also i dont see anything about this usb 2.0 - 3.0 at OP. I wish they update op.
[G3 General] hyelton:
No, it's the port itself you can't change that. It might already be in the OP. And I am the OP. If your laptop only have USB 3.0 there's no way around it sadly. You'll need to use another computer.
[G3 General] okanb3:
If i can enter the download mode, i can rescue my phone using these method, am i right? I have another old laptop at my house i can use that for this.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Most of the time yes. But issues can always happen. Never know until you try.
[G3 General] okanb3:
Thanks for your replies. And please update op to be more clear. Thank you.

Hello guys , i have some issues with my f460L.

I flashed RM 2.1 + JZ 2.6 and got stuck on boot img (then i found why) , i didn.t get in recovery from keys (was a clean install) and flashed stock MM with LGFlashTool2014 . I tried to go back to tot KK (LGUP and LGFT) and LP (LGUP) and i get this errors :

LGUP -Packed error no:0x8000010a (after 6% "phone connected" the screen flashed and nothing happens)

LGFT -cross DL ..... (i tried with the dll from zip and LGUP_8974 )

I can flash MM but no what i want . I will try tomorrow on w7 , but i don.t think that is the problem .If someone could tell me what i missed I will be grateful .

Cheers!
[G3 General] hyelton:
You HAVE to use LGUP for this, LG Flashtool wont work when downgrading from MM. but LGUP does work. Are you putting the phone into download mode? and making sure your using a USB 2.0 Port?

Which file I need to download? I have D855 32GB of Taiwan, but I'm not sure if I need the Taiwan 20D85521A_00.kdz OR LGD855 20V10b-TWN-JUN-19-2014-32G.zip file. BTW the soft version of the phone is v21a-twn-xx. Thanks.

[G3 General] m4k4ve1icro:
I have a unique problem, scroled through last 10ish pages, didnt see anyone with same.

I flashed global kdz using LGUP (tried update and not refubrish, i know now it wasnt good idea). It went through and it seemed ok for a second after boot.

Firstly I noticed Im getting "SD card corrupted" error. It seems my SD card is corrupted and there is no way to access my data on it (tried on 3 other phones).

Other problem (bigger one) is my WiFi connection keeps droping. It connects for 3 seconds and then drops for 8 seconds. Ok, I thought Ill just reflash and it will fix it and guess what, it didnt.

I flashed again using LGUP "refubrish", same thing. Tried flash EU rom, same thing. Finaly i flashed tot of kit kat rom and still have the same problem. Can anyone please help?
[G3 General] hyelton:
I'm assuming you do Have a D855? You didn't say.

Wifi issue could be related to the router in most cases it will either work or won't work at all never in between.

No clue on the sd card, but none of these issues have ever happened except for flashing firmwares of different models.
[G3 General] m4k4ve1icro:
Yep, I have D855 and i flashed global when issues ocured.

Router works fine, im writing this on my laptop connected to it and have 2 other smartphones connected, no issue anywhere besides G3.

TBH i dont care about SD card atm, ill get the data somehow. All I care atm is fixing this WiFi issue. Any ideas maybe?

EDIT: maneged to fix it. Connected phone to PC Suite and run update from there. Updated the kit kat to LP and wifi is working just fine now, not droping anymore.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Sorry no clue other than a hardware / software issue. This guide has flashed hundreds of thousands of G3s and never seen that issue before. You've tried different firmwares etc. Why not use the tot method?
[G3 General] smilesintears77:
Went back to stock kk by tot method. Works flawlessly. I had to buy att go phone sim from Walmart ($6.09) used it to get the LP ota up to d85021q. Unfortunately D85021r ota didn't come through. I had to use my friend's att sim for that ota. Now im running latest Lp and patiently wating for the mm update. :cool:

I´ve got a problem. I can do what I want, the Software don´t find my Phone. I used 5 differnt Cables 2 of them are original Cables from the G3:).

Everytime "Download Fail" and "Model Information Check Fail"

Any Idea?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Are you putting your phone into download mode?? Are you using USB 2.0?? USB 3.0 won't work for this. And I'm guessing your trying the tot method you didn't state that or your model and you changed your com port to com41?
[G3 General] torsti:
Sorry, I haven´t write it :)

I use USB 2.0, I changed the Port to 41 (I tried also to let it on Port 5) and yes, I try the "tot" way.

I can´t put my phone into Downloadmode. Only to FirmwareUpgrade (Volume up while plugging in)

The LG PC Suite Tool dont work for me, the kdz-flah way also not wort.

I have the international g3 (D855), 16 GB Version.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Changing it to port 5 won't do anything. It must be port 41 exactly. Make sure your changing the lge serial/lge com one.

Firmware upgrade IS download mode.

Also did you try selecting boardDL on the tot/dll selection screen? And your using the cable that came with the phone?
[G3 General] torsti:
Yes to all.

I´ve tried the cable I´ve got with it, I´ve tried the one which came with the d855 of my wife and I tried it with 3 others from older Smartphones... Nothin ;(

Earlier this week I decided to do a full wipe and install CM13. Everything has been great but, today it did a random restart and went through the optimization process. However, this time it didn't come out of it but, instead looped back to the boot animation and then optimized again and continued to do this. I tried opening recovery to wipe and reinstall but TWRP gets stuck at the splash screen. I have tried reverting to stock but for some reason the LG Flash Tool gets stuck at "Waiting for Connection". I have tried different computers and USB ports to get the Flash Tool to work but have not had any luck. I'm looking for any help or suggestions that people can give. I am willing to try pretty much anything right now.
[G3 General] hyelton:
What's your model? And what method? I'm assuming the tot method since you see waiting for connection. You changed the com port under device manager to com41 correct?

Phone in download mode?

Using USB 2.0 ports? USB 3.0 won't work.

And did you unplug/replug on the waiting on connection?
