I'll give it a go again. The problem is if the only way it will turn off is to unplug the USB, despite the fact that I should not, I need more hands to unplug the USB and plug it in and hold the volume button... :cyclops:

So I'm slowly getting there, but when the phone is restarted in download mode (step 14) nothing is really happening, it still says 0 % (appart from a frame saying "user B94") :confused:

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------

Just to be sure, I've downloaded everything and I'm using the tot metod. I have LG G3 D855 and everything seems to work great until it's rebooted i download mode, it's just stuck on 0 % and nothing happens!

I'm using LGD855AT-V10e-EUR-32G and LGD855_20140526_LGFLASHv_160.dll and the older Flashtool as in your post.

When I initiate the flashing process by pressing the yellow arrow in main application window it pretty quick says ready, the comport is 41 and then when I restart my phone in download mode nothing happens. I'm stuck in 0 % and nothing happens in the flashing tool (don't no if it even supposed to) The LG drivers on my PC (windows 8.1 x64) is the ones mentioned in your first post. Any suggestion what might be wrong? Been trying everything three times now and alwasy end up with the same result. Btw my phone is bought in Sweden. :confused:

Is the northern Europe D855_10A for 32 Gb or?
[G3 General] hyelton:
You did change your com port to com41 in device manager correct??
[G3 General] NoobSwede:
Yes, it was set from the beginning to port 41. Is the Northern Europe D85510A_00.kdz possible to use instead? With the kDZ method that is? And assuming it's 32 gb!

---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

Finally made it back with the above mentioned kdz method. Thanks a lot for help and input!
[G3 General] hyelton:
Your welcome. :). Glad you got it :)
[G3 General] lesslikeyou:
Does it mean that I can use the EUR firmware to my LG G3 with AME firmware? I have been looking for the AME kitkat firmware and I can't find one for weeks now.
[G3 General] Abaddon:
yes as long as the firmware you're flashing is for D855 regardless of the country. (assuming you have D855?) I myself am from PH and I can't find the firmware for it so I used the one from EUR.
[G3 General] lesslikeyou:
Me too sir, I am from PH. Thank you for confirming this. :) You just saved me another week of searching for the stock ROM of AME.
[G3 General] Abaddon:
yes. the difference will just be some bloatware. if ever there is. and some apps pre installed and missing. depends on the firmware. just make sure you've downloaded the firmware for your model. if it's a D855 make sure it's for D855 else you'll end up with a headache :cowboy:
[G3 General] cristidclxvi:
Hi! The kdz method worked for me but now I can't use the official lg B2CAppSetup anymore.

Here you have the attached error it gaves me. Thank you!

PS: Sorry for my english.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Are you sure your using the current method in the OP? If so delete the flash tool folder and redownload flash tool.
[G3 General] cristidclxvi:
I think you misunderstood... the kdz method worked perfectly, but after I used it, the official lg B2CAppSetup, downloaded from lg.com, doesn't work anymore...

I have deleted and redownloaded the flash tool, but as i expected, nothing has changed...
[G3 General] hyelton:
I have no clue what your doing is not in the OP of this thread.

The links from lg are not meant to always work there not even supposed to be for the public .. That's why I host kdzs on my server which are in the OP
[G3 General] cristidclxvi:
well.. I didn't know that.. I've tried on another pc and also doesn't work. When I check for OTA update it give me an server connection error. I think it's some lg server problem or something.

Thank you for the info!
[G3 General] hyelton:
Ohhh so your talking about OTA update?? Your phone must run the exact firmware it came with, and it also must have the exact IMEI and model entered in with your carrier before updates will work. LG is picky.
[G3 General] cristidclxvi:
... I'm talking about both methods of update: the one who needs a pc with official B2CAppSetup.exe downloaded from lg.com wich needs an internet connection and doesn't work on both my PCs, and OTA update directly from my G3(V10I-EUR-XX non-rooted) wich also doesn't work, it give me an server connection error... And that's why I think it's a lg server problem... Oh yeah.. Update via PC Suite doesn't work either....
[G3 General] hyelton:
Nothing is wrong with LGs server, the same applies if your using the PC method or OTA for updating.
[G3 General] Benholder90:
Im on chupachups lollipop rom at the moment, if i want to go back to kitkat do i just use this method?
[G3 General] KiDkoLa:
Can you help me find the KDZ firmware file for Canada D852 - Rogers? The Rogers zip file found in the Canada D852 folder contains a .tot file. The folder itself contains only 3 files - Bell's zip file, a DLL file and the Rogers zip file. No sign of a KDZ file. Please help. Thank you.
[G3 General] gee2012:
Look here http://lg-firmware-rom.com/, type in your imei number and you`ll get the correct rom.
[G3 General] hyelton:
You can try the method above as well, but if you read the OP you'll see that there are two ways of flashing back to stock. One is tot. The other is kdz
[G3 General] KiDkoLa:
I tried the method above and entered the IMEI number but the list of available files came up empty.

I couldn't use the .tot method because the phone won't go into download mode. I tried powering off, then holding down the volume up and plugging in usb to the computer several times with no success. I read someone gained access by the same steps except he held both volume up and down. When I tried this, a blue screen appeared with instructions for dload 1) please connect usb 2)get the ram dump image using QPST configuration.

Note: I had to get the IMEI number from behind the battery on the back of the phone because it came up blank in settings and from entering *#06#.

The phone was recently flashed with android lollipop 5.0 and the owner was trying to revert back to kitkat 4.4 when this happened.
[G3 General] gee2012:
Did you backup your EFS folder so you can restore it? Look in /general/about the phone/status for available info.
[G3 General] KiDkoLa:
Unfortunately not.
[G3 General] gee2012:
Can`t you try to restore the stock rom with the LG PC Suite or LG Mobile support tool, just a thought.
[G3 General] hyelton:
First of all you MUST be in download mode for both kdz and tot method... You can't flash without putting the phone in download mode...

Please follow the OP and read everything for the tot method and try it. That's gonna be your only chance right now.

If you can't get into download mode keep trying make sure your pulling your battery and putting it back in before Trying to enter it.
[G3 General] KiDkoLa:
I was able to get into download mode. The com port in device manager wasn't changed. I'm happy to report stock firmware has now been restored. Thank you for all your quick responses.
[G3 General] raptor2003:
Hi guys I have a few questions

I have a French unbranded LG G3 (A6FR). It is currently stock on KitKat 4.4.2 (V10L). I plan to install CM12 in the future with TWRP. I've seen a lot of discussions about the download mode.

1) Does flashing the recovery to TWRP and then a rom will make me loose the download mode?

2) What's basically the difference between a KDZ and a TOT ? (the TOT file is like one gig heavier than the KDZ, hum...)

3) If I flash back a TOT from a custom rom will it allow OTAs ? I mean I've got a V10E TOT and if I flash it, will the OTA allow me to go to V10L or will the OTA will be only Lollipop (V20something), I would like to stay away from the stock lollipop for the moment.

4) France 16G D85510A_00.kdz and BIN_LGD855AT-00-V10e-EUR-XX-JUL-08-2014-16G-0.tot are good for my phone right?

Had a HTC One S before, man that was good to have a unlocked bootloader.... C'mon LG !

Thank you ;)
[G3 General] lenny233:
Hello guys.

I've been trying to do this on my LG Optimus L5 II E451g and it doesn't work. I can do the NORMAL FLASH but it didn't fix my problem so I want to do the CSE FLASH (to do a clean install). But I can't do that one.

Everything goes fine until the third step: "Wait until software extraction is complete..." then after a few seconds it crashes "LGUserCSTool LG Mobile has stopped working". :(

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate SP1.

I tried different drivers, the old method with the host file, LG Update Tool 2014 and KDZ Update but nothing works. The error says the module with trouble is "msvcr100.dll". KDZ file is in the software folder, Windows recognizes the phone when I conect it to enter Download Mode, I installed every Visual C++ package I found, everything seems fine but it doesn't perform the CSE FLASH.

I'm sick of this. I don't want to buy a new phone. Anybody has any idea???

Regards.
[G3 General] gee2012:
Yes, go to the correct forum http://xdaforums.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7 and post you question there. Good luck mate :)
[G3 General] hyelton:
Make sure you run as admin. Try and redownload everything and start over that error has never happened

About the old method there's no support for that it's DEAD.

Lollipop_F400S.kdz

Hi,

I just want to confirm whether this firmware is for the LG G3 D855 32GB version? I am from Australia so if I flash this will it affect the signal strength of my phone? This is the first time i am using an LG phone so I am basically a newbie
[G3 General] schaggo:
It says F400S, so its for F400S and not for D855.
[G3 General] hyelton:
What firmware? There's a ton of them...in the OP Just flash a D855 firmware.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Huh? No where in my guide says its just for an F400s. Its for all models of the G3 same goes with firmwares I have in the OP. Just use the correct model.
[G3 General] raptor2003:
He is not talking about your guide but about "Lollipop_F400S.kdz" that he mentioned in his post.

Looks like he as a D855 phone and a F400S KDZ.

Edit: By the way could you answer my previous post ? #1083
[G3 General] Benholder90:
Im in uk, from your files the only uk ones or europe are 10A. Basically i want the latest kitkat rom so if i install 10A i will have to keep updating by ota until i reach the latest kitkat version. So if i install a Germany v10L for example it doesnt make any difference right? Being that im in the uk?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Ahh okay, they must had removed it in the post. I'll check out your post in a few.
[G3 General] raptor2003:
You missed it when you quoted, it's above the "Hi," ;)
[G3 General] hyelton:
You mean your post not the other persons? I was taking about how the poster asking about which firmware must had edited there post to remove what you responded about the F400 firmware. Yeah I seen that, I`m having trouble responding as Im mobile and the Tapatalk app will NOT work with XDA for some reason.
[G3 General] hyelton:
1) No, Recovery and download mode are 2 completely different things..

2) Ive mentchend this a hundred times :P, It depends on whatever is available for the phone.. Since you have a french phone then you`ll use the KDZ method. If you notice they are more KDZ files that is because TOT files are harder to get and most of the time cost money from Chinese Sites, and KDZ files are more official than TOT`s.

3)If you actually do have a TOT file for your model number then good it will work fine, Yes you can OTA ONLY if your using the exact firmware that was on your phone before, as well with the IMEI being registered with your carrier (LG plays dirty when it comes to OTA)

4) Yes they are.

Hi, my model is LG-D855 with software version of v20a-MYS-XX, build number LRX21R. i did ota update to latest lollipop once i got it last week and only realized that it needs kikkat root.

Reading this thread, just to confirm, can i flash Singapore D85510B_00.kdz to get back to kitkat? or i have to find something like D85510A... for that to work? if so, anywhere i can find kitkat firmware for my version? thanks for your advice

[G3 General] lmc23:
Dead?? Well, I did the NORMAL FLASH using the old method in just a few minutes, so I don't think my files are damaged. The problem is the CSE FLASH.

I ran it as admin. I'll try to redownload everything but LG servers are fu**ed up, it took like 6 hours to download the KDZ file. Now I have to do it again??? Ok, I'll give it a shot but I don't think it'll work.

And you're wrong, I readed other messages of users with the same problem, none of them posted a solution though.

Thanks anyway.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Some members have problems some don't. The method does work. If you look over at the G2 forums its the same exact method across all LG phones.

Remember the way things are with LG everything must be 100% correct or its a no go.

Slow? Why not use the links from the OP? Those are hosted on my server on a 2gbps connection.

Reverting from custom ROM to stock

Hi all,

I'm former iOS user and I'm new in Android world so I would appreciate if you could assist me in my agony.

I had custom ROM (AndroidNow HD 8.4) and I ran on a huge issue when I wanted to revert to stock ROM. I tought that i can do it over LG Flash Tool and I didn't know that I should first restore to stock over custom recovery, and i skipped that step.

When flashing was finished homescreen was without background, there aren't navigation buttons and everything is like on non genuine windows copy, even worse (i'm attaching a picture). I tried to flash my device 2 times and same happened.

Afterwards it happened that now Windows fails to install MTP driver and I don't know is there anything that I could do to fix this? Did someone had anything similar with this software problem and MTP driver problem?

Thank you in advance and any advice is welcome.
[G3 General] hyelton:
If its saying could not switch to download mode somehow your either not in download mode or there's something missing. That error is only there if your not in download mode
[G3 General] itsmezach.s:
I will download kds file an attempt that method if it doesn't work will use gf phone an take pictures step by step. An upload for help

When I updated the drivers from LG it was vow sumthing is there 2? I am able to pull an send files between the 2 tho. Just noticed I don't have usb debugging on in dev options could that be it?
[G3 General] hyelton:
USB debugging has nothing to do with download mode.

If your In download mode and able to pull and send files then that's not download mode. If you mean when phone is on then that's fine but that's a completely different set of drivers.

Download mode uses a different part of the drivers you installed. If you seen the LGEModem under ports in device manager where you changed the com port to com41 then your drivers are fine...

I want to back to stock

Hey guys

Help a noob

it doesn´t work for me, I think because my lG G3 d855 32G is android 5.0 lollipop updated via OTA and my version now is 20f-Twn-xx

and i just want to downgrade to be root again

i already tried this RETURN TO STOCK TOT Method! and im stuck on yellow arrow just said ready but nothing happened.

im going to try ETURN TO STOCK kdz Method

Please someone tell me which kdz file corresponds me. because i didn´t see the version at the file name i mean 16G.kdz or 32.kdz like in tot Method or what do you guys recommend?

Thanks for advance and sorry for my bad english
[G3 General] hyelton:
When following any guide you must follow all directions. Is your phone in download mode? Did you change your com port to com41 under device manager? It wouldn't be that your running lollipop. If you read the entire OP it states that you can upgrade or downgrade. Also your not even getting to the flashing process if it doesn't processes In anyway after the yellow button then something is not correct.

help question

when i have custom rom installed, do i need to first restore original stock rom or can i just flash via kdz without issues?
[G3 General] mikowi:
I have exactly the same issue. Did you manage to solve it? How?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Sort of confused about your post? Restore original stock before flashing via kdz? Flashing an kdz restores it back to stock ROM.
[G3 General] paolotheking:
Warranty service, mainboard changed ;)
[G3 General] mikowi:
Quite clear ;) I guess there are no alternative.
[G3 General] hyelton:
What was your problem I didn't see your post? Remember if your having any errors from flash tool it can be some simple. As I have said I good amount of times when flashing an lg everything has to be 100% correct.

Hey I finally did it.

I just unplugged my usb cable and plugged it again and procces went well.

My problem is that I have message "Secure Booting Error! Cause: boot certification verify" then black screen and colored led.

Impossible to go to download mode again.

It's a D855 16gb

I have that following a try to flash a kbz (kitkat)

I found in the forum someone that I had the same exact issue, I asked quoting him and he wrote he had the mainboard changed. So I guess there are no known solution. I did not find any solution searching here...

And I'm not the first one to have this issue.

My problem was that process was stuck in 89% and i cuould`nt. Get pass in lg flash tool. I could not get even the blue screen

I did everythin again and works well
[G3 General] hyelton:
I have stated this a ton of times and its also in the OP....

Anything AFTER 85% means its done the rest is it just rebooting. It will "fail" 99% of the time. Its supposed too. Anything 85% or higher its done flashing. That's not a problem or issue.

Pull the battery for a few secounds and when turning back on make sure your using the corrext button combo when turning on to put it in download mode. Everything has to be precise.

Hi,

I bought an LG G3 D855 phone from an online store. I want to root the phone and install Cyanogenmod but I stupidly upgraded to Android 5.0 when the phone prompted me. Stump doesn't work with this so I need to go back to stock firmware. Trouble is I have NO freaking idea what the stock firmware is for this phone, and I have a nasty feeling that is isn't actually available in this list:

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

I have the 32GB model of the phone, not the 16GB model.

How can I figure out which firmware I need. Am I just screwed? :(
[G3 General] hyelton:
Which the lg g3 size firmware doesn't matter. 16gb/32gb are interchangeable.
[G3 General] jez9999:
The first post in this thread explicitly says: "Please Check to make sure you don`t flash a 16GB firmware on an 32GB device. Please check the file names if they have an "16GB" in the File Name" :)

---------- Post added at 12:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 AM ----------

By the way, in case it helps, here is where I bought the phone from:

http://www.simplyelectronics.net/mainproduct.php?pid=24185&sd=specs

It came with Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) (ARGHHH why did I upgrade??!) but now it's on 5.0. sigh. So I'm guessing that its stock ROM would be something like "UK D855 32GB".
[G3 General] hyelton:

[G3 General] BWolf56:
I have an issue with the toolkit. It won't see the .zip file. I tried re-downloading both but no luck.

It launches just fine but can't add any ROM to it.
[G3 General] hyelton:
What toolkit? You mean the flashtool? Which method? Tot or kdz? What model? Theres 2 methods to going back to stock.

Since your talking about zip I'm thinking you downloaded the tot method? Make sure your following the OP .. "Extract the zip file" which will give you the tot file to put into flash tool.

Also these are not roms these are stock factory firmwares :).
