Hey guys, Just wanted to provide an update.

After looking closely at the main board (I needed to access this board to place the phone in Qualcom 9008 mode), I saw some gold lettering on it that mentioned D850. I then did some research for the D855 main boards, and sure enough, they have D855 printed in gold letters. I was now ready to make a safe assumption that even though the phone was in a D855 body, and sold as a D855, the main board was swapped out with a D850 board.

I proceeded to place the phone in Qualcom 9008 mode, since I was unable to get into download mode, and flashed the phone with firmware for the D850. After flashing the main partitions (aboot, boot, laf etc.) i was able to boot into download mode and flash the full D850 firmware using the TOT method. My dad now has his G3 back, fully functional.

Here is the link to the guide I used to get into Qualcom 9008 mode and perform the initial flash:

Thanks again for all who helped. And I really hope this will help some of you recover your phones.

LGUP works with both tot and kdz files. Choose upgrade, choose the kdz you would like the go back and choose refurbish
[G3 General] CaptainAdHoc:
Hello team.

I'm dealing with heavy problems.

I moved recently from CM 12.1 Snapshot > CM 13 Nightly > Fumics 5.1 and tried to get back on stock rom using TOT. But I just end on a "Factory rester Status : 2" blue screen...

Here's the LGflashtool log : https://paste2.org/1Uj0YJ1K

LGUP is helpless because it shows my G3 as Unknown.

KDZ method doesn't seems to work too.

Any help is welcome !
[G3 General] hyelton:
You never stated your model I'm guessing D855 from the log? If you get stuck at factory reset status 2 you choose board_dl on the tot selection screen. You get unknown in LGUP because you were running a custom rom.
[G3 General] CaptainAdHoc:
You're right, I'm using a D855.

I've done what you said and ran a board_dl on LGflashtool.

But at 89% (on lg flashtool), when it's waiting the the reboot of the smartphone, this last one is trapped on a bootloop. I've done a factory hard reset but still the bootloop.

Should I retry an "Upgrade DL" on LGflashtool ?

I don't want to miss anything so I rely on your knowledge ;)
[G3 General] hyelton:
Once flash tool is at 80% anything after that is pretty much 100% it's done. Did you give it at least 10 min to boot without touching the phone? Now what happenes when you try LGUP? Make sure you are for sure using a USB 2.0 port.
[G3 General] CaptainAdHoc:
The flash (Manual mode/Board DL) passes but my phone is stuck on the auto touch test, even if I do a factory reset.

I'm using LGD855AT-V10e-EUR-32G.zip and LGD855_20140526_LGFLASHv160.dll. Should I get another one ?
[G3 General] hyelton:
[Guide] LG G3 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ &amp;amp; TOT Method With LGUP

Auto touch test?? You hit the reset/restart button on that screen to get passed it. When using board_dl your supposed to get that screen.
[G3 General] CaptainAdHoc:
Yep, this one.

I tried "Normal boot(+power) after the "Auto Touch test" screen, but ended again in a bootloop.

I flashed again, but now the cursor don't activate any buttons (but the screen is sensitive) on AAT-Mini OS 3.1, except "All Auto Test - Partial", which one only says that OTG fail.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Something is being missed somewhere as that screen is supposed to come up but you have to choose the right selection for it to reboot and start up
[G3 General] CaptainAdHoc:
I follow the method, in Board DL mode. Maybe a wrong .tot used by myself ? (LG D855 bought on Amazon.ES)

Can I get access to another method to try it via LGUP or other program ?
[G3 General] hyelton:
I'm talking about on the phone screen not flash tool. One of those options is what you need to choose on the phones screen. You could try using LGUP and choose referbish if you haven't already tried thatbb
[G3 General] CaptainAdHoc:
I understood, but nothing more to say about AAT Mini OS' screen.

At least LGUP recognize my phone as a D85510e when it was Unknown few steps ago !

LGUP is looking for a .bin to refurbish my phone. I have to use the .tot, right ? (sounds noob)

EDIT : Hurray ! I went on LGUP and refurbish with the same .tot used in LGflashtool. I first thought it had failed, but after 2 auto reboots, I'm on the new user configuration page !

Kudos for you hyelton, you have no idea how much your help was welcome at this time !

I'll stop playing with roms on my main phone for some days !

It still do some randoms reboots on his own but maybe it's overheating.
[G3 General] HsnGnc:
hello

hello i have some error say device model diffent SWV: LGD850PRAT-00-V20A-GLOBAL-SCA
[G3 General] hyelton:
What's it saying your model? You didn't really explain the full problem.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Do you have a D850 or a D850PR?? If you have a D850 you cannot flash a D850PR firmware.
[G3 General] HsnGnc:
check private message please i cant send images here
[G3 General] hyelton:
[Guide] LG G3 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ &amp;amp; TOT Method With LGUP

I already seen them. But it doesn't tell me what your actual model is.

What is your actual model number?
[G3 General] hyelton:
[Guide] LG G3 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ &amp;amp; TOT Method With LGUP

You have a D850. Any reason why your flashing a D850PR firmware? You cannot do that. You can only flash D850 firmware on a D850.
[G3 General] HsnGnc:
i'm not flash 850pt

i'm trying flash

LGD850AT-01-V10d-310-410-JUN-19-2014+0.tot

but it says version different

which rom i'll use for no network fix
[G3 General] hyelton:
Send a screenshot?? The screen shot you sent me earlier showed you were using a D850PR firmware..
[G3 General] CaptainAdHoc:
I should have rolled my tongue seven times before saying my problem is solved.

My D855 is still having wifi problems, when the wifi is turned on, it seems not able to activate itself, and my phone reboot.

Anyway to get an hardware status ? On AAT Mini OS all was fine.
[G3 General] hyelton:
I'm a little confused. Your wifi issue shouldn't have anything to do with the mini OS status.
[G3 General] CaptainAdHoc:
I just thought i could see on mini os if wifi module send any error code but there's nothing.

I can get access to android main page. Should i do a reset (factory reset don't dolce the wifi issue) with another method ?
[G3 General] hyelton:
If your having wifi issues it's a hardware problem. It's been brought up here time to time.
[G3 General] Shivam1754:

[G3 General] emisanma:
I had the same problem in my D850 until I did one of the dll method with LGUP. Now 100% complete transfer but I was in a bootloop and fails to enter the recovery mode.
[G3 General] Shivam1754:
how u 100% complete transfer???
[G3 General] hyelton:
By following the OP..
[G3 General] hyelton:
Looks like you'll need to follow a different guide first due to the partition error.
[G3 General] emisanma:
With LGFlashTool method, stock TOT file and lgup_8974.dll. But I repeat now am stuck on bootloop and I can't solve this (LGFlashTool passed 83% but has waiting "mini OS boot check.." and give an error). Perhaps the problem is my phone because I bought it refurbished
[G3 General] hyelton:
[Guide] LG G3 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ &amp;amp; TOT Method With LGUP

Your phone may not be a D855

You never stated if you were running MM 6.0 or not.. If you where you just use LGUP. Nor did you state your model. If D850 you need to choose board_dl
[G3 General] emisanma:
Yes, my model is D850 and try to Board DL. And it was in 4.2.1. The whole problem started when i trying to unlock with BUMP!. Then my phone only boot in download mode. I could not exceed 6% on LGFlashTool with "partition change" error until I could continue but now is stuck on bootloop.

I try to make a factory reset but it goes to recovery screen for 3 seconds and this reboot.:(
[G3 General] hyelton:
What happened when you tried board dl? Did it flash and you get the screen on the phone to hit restart/reset? Remember flash tool will almost always fail after 80% that is normal... Your using a USB 2.0 port correct?
[G3 General] emisanma:
Yes, I'm using a USB 2.0 and original cable.

These are the screens. I enter in factory reset manually.
[G3 General] hyelton:
[Guide] LG G3 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ &amp;amp; TOT Method With LGUP

The screen shots look normal to me. In your screenshot it shows flash tool finished and was successful... After it finishes do not touch the phone 10 min. How long are you giving the phone to boot up?

Why are you manually going to factory reset? That's not needed
[G3 General] emisanma:
the problem is that it remains on the screen logo and reboot every 25 seconds. Leave it for a long time.more than 10 minutes and nothing. I do factory reset manually because I see that does not continue. just to try something else.
[G3 General] hyelton:
That sounds like a hardware failure. What was the reason you needed to flash back to stock?
[G3 General] emisanma:
I tried to unlock it with BUMP! to change the rom. the phone was purchased refurbished from Aliexpress 6 days ago and everything worked except the SIM of my operator that not is AT&T. And after that he was only on download mode and I needed flash back.

I've seen that in other guides as how fix hard brick on phone when not power on. I'm not sure if I should try.
[G3 General] lbhocky19:
I have the Tmobile D851. I'm on stock MM but rooted and have TWRP. I need to get back to full stock.

"To Downgrade/upgrade to/from MM 6.0 You'll need to use LGUP in Post #3 Currently only for the D855"

So it's impossible for me to get back to stock MM unless i have the D855? Surely someone else has had to do this...
[G3 General] hyelton:
I just haven't updated the Op. LGUP works with every single lg device. But not sure on downgrading. Haven't seen much on downgrading with the T-Mobile variant. Not saying it doesn't work but MM and US carrier models downgrading from MM has resulted with complete bricks for some.
[G3 General] 3rdcoasttx:
i have a d850, upgraded to mm, rooted with kingo, removed kingo for SU, still had root, rebooted and stuck at lg.. never flashed a recovery or rom. LGUP still shows model unknown. usb 2.0 cable and port. Am i missing something silly ? thank you
[G3 General] hyelton:
Your placing the phone into download mode correct?
[G3 General] 3rdcoasttx:
yes, def am. Also, i just turned on the phone, and it actually gets stuck at att logo. LED keeps changing colors, but att logo just frozen.. if that helps any.
[G3 General] hyelton:
What happens when you try to perform a factory reset?
[G3 General] 3rdcoasttx:
i do factory reset, answer yes, answer yes, it goes to android character and says erasing for a couple seconds then reboots right back to lg screen.. I just now did it, stuck on LG Logo screen, wont go back to ATT screen

Anyone who knows how to update ****in music library in mm ?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Huh?
[G3 General] damjann4:
I downloaded album but my music player cant recognise it
[G3 General] hyelton:
That wouldn't have anything to do with going back to stock. Maybe it's in an archive and you have to extract it or it's not in a MP3 format.
[G3 General] damjann4:
No its a folder with mp3 files but player cant see anything:( sorry for going off from topic:(
[G3 General] hyelton:
No clue can't really help without phone in hand. Did you reboot the phone? If so there is something wrong with the format of the songs.
[G3 General] damjann4:
Cleared all data and cache from mplayer,rebot,and still nothing...noo everything is fine with files ... :( i founded solution on some other topics setting_apps_ALL-media data ...but where the **** is all ? ?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Sorry no clue this thread is for restoring the phone or flashing back to stock.
[G3 General] Vlaphor:
I work for a computer repair place in Topeka, Kansas (Tech and Toner) and my manager recently received a bunch of old gear for recycling, including a G3 D850 cell phone. He ran a factory reset on it and when we turned it back on, we received a notification that the phone was locked due to McAfee protection and we needed a pin we had no way of getting. I contacted McAfee and they were unable to get the phone's information, so the support technician suggested I contact LG. I contacted LG and they want me to send the phone in to get it repaired. Now, this is just a hobby for me, and I already have my own phone, but I was wondering if anyone here knew how to get past the McAfee lock.

I can't access download mode, since I get a notification of "Download mode is disabled by kill switch". Does anyone here have any ideas? I've looked online quite a bit, and the only things I've found are to either by a box that can supposedly do it, or various shady instructions in broken English that will somehow give both my computer and myself a virus. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Hey, sadly not really a way to get passed it. I've never been able to do anything with the mcafee kill switch. I'm surprised lg offered to repair it. I'd take them up on the offer! As long as the imei is not bad it would be worth it. They're might be a way with the box stuff but software wise there's no way around it

Is there any marshmallow tot or flashable zip for d850?

[G3 General] looooozeeeeer:
guys i need help asap, i just "refurbished" my lg g3 d855 international to MM from kitkat 4.4.2 with global kdz 30b yesterday with lgup method and went smoothly, so i proceed installing root with kingroot and install twrp. but for some reason, i revoke the root access via supersu unroot. today my ignorance brother try to flash the rom again with the exact same method and material to MM stock 30b but ended up in twrp bootlop, what should i do? factory reset shows so many red failed messages

is that softbricked or hardbricked?
[G3 General] hyelton:
If it's in a twrp bootloop then your brother didn't follow the same guide.. As flashing removes twrp
[G3 General] looooozeeeeer:
most likely yes. he did not. so what should i do now? it also wont go to download mode, nor detected again in LGUP
[G3 General] hyelton:
You'll need to get it into download mode first. LGUP or flash tools won't do anything if it's not in download mode.
[G3 General] looooozeeeeer:
any suggestion how can i achieve that? is restarting to bootloader and get firmware update screen with USER BXX is a download mode from twrp?
[G3 General] hyelton:
[Guide] LG G3 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ &amp;amp; TOT Method With LGUP

Firmware update is download mode.

If it looks like the image that's download mode..

My phone stucks for about 650seconds now here -> http://imgur.com/skDzA8L

How can i fix this? :/
[G3 General] hyelton:
I'm assuming you have a D855? You never stated. Your in download mode? And using a USB 2.0 port correct? USB 3.0 will not work.
[G3 General] Shurkien:
Oh sorry, yes its a D855 and im in download mode

But i used a USB 3.0 port, i changed it now and try again
[G3 General] hyelton:
USB 3.0 will not work and will cause problems. Did using USB 2.0 work for you?
[G3 General] Shurkien:
It still stucks at 10% and repeats the same step over and over -> http://imgur.com/xqZHfTC

After some time i get error "We cant communicate with Phone"

Also nothing happens on the phone itself, it shows me COM41 and in the lower textbox some text but still 0%

Edit:

A friend of mine told me that PRIMARYGPT means that the partition is maybe broken or something

Is there a way to fix this?

Edit 2:

I tried the LG Flash Tool 2014 again and it seem to work.. But my phone shows me 3% and drops sometimes to 1% again and repeats while the flash tool is stuck @ 12% for abount 45 Minutes now

Edit 3:

After my phone was hardbricked i successfully rebricked it into "softbrick" and now trying to TOT flash again, but it stucks again @ 10% and PRIMARYGPT... Is the hardware maybe broken?

Edit 4:

IT FLASHED!!!! But stopped at Factory Reset 2 :(
[G3 General] Mo Ali:
when i try to open lg up this message show

[G3 General] hyelton:
That's because your running a custom rom. You first need to flash a stock based non customized rom.
[G3 General] Mo Ali:
ok how can i do that
[G3 General] hyelton:
The same way the current rom that is flashed on it. You'd find one that matched for your model and flash it. Just a general stock based non customized rom
[G3 General] Mo Ali:
thnx bro
[G3 General] thesinghster:
Hey guys, I wanted to know if there's a way I an get the stock rom on my d850 fully doing the firmware reset. Like is there a completely stock rom that I can flash through TWRP? That way I can still keep TWRP.

Thanks!
[G3 General] hyelton:
No as that is not stock. That's not doing a full reset if it's not wiping twrp. Flashing back to full stock is all in the OP.
[G3 General] JuanDestrada:
EDIT: found out how to do it

thanks

hi, greetings

i messed up my d855 32bg and now its stuck in twrp. it wont boot into system. but however it can enter download mode. phone was running on stock marshmallow. i wish to revert it into stock.

is flashing by tot method ( obtain kitkat) and update via ota is good plan? or are there any other method?

i already tried flashing via kdz( tried refurbishing option) in download mode but still stuck in twrp. please guide me.

update

i solved the problem by flashing .tot file via flashtool. as there are no marshmallow .tot files i had to flash the kitkat one.

can i directly flash marshmallow .kdz via lgup from kikat?

or

do i need to update from kitkat to lollipop and flash .kdz?

guys, quick question

lg d855 international version, updated to mm via lgup, using 30b global kdz

not yet rooted

on software update app says im using the latest software

on pc suite says i still can upgrade to 30d

what would happen if i do click the upgrade button (on pc suite)?

anyone tried? will it doing allright?
[G3 General] hastalafiesta:
i'm currently using fulmics 5.3, what to do if I wanna go back to stock mm? just reboot in download mode and make a clean installation using UP (refurbish)?

Inviato dal mio LG-D855 utilizzando Tapatalk
[G3 General] mjihadislami:
same like me one weeks ago....

U cant do that on LGUP...Fullmics not stock based

just download the stock v30b flashable zip (i forgot the thread link)

flash it until done..... boot ...... and just plug to your PC ...no need to go to download mode...choose Upgrade (in my case i cant use 'refurbish' option.... coz that option wont allow you to choose kdz formats.... only tot....) then starts..... makes some coffee.... or just watch ur tv ... it takes only 10mins on me

Thanks for this guide! I have a question and I feel dumb asking, but I'm not sure which method I should be doing... KDZ or TOT. I hope someone can tell me. I've read the OP and I'm fairly sure it's the TOT method... I just need the confirmation. :)

My LG G3 is the LG-D855, 32GB. I already rooted it yonks ago and it's now running MM (6.0.1). I want to unroot and put international stock ROM on it cos I'm sending it back to where I purchased it to be replaced (due to cracks on the IR blaster and headphone jack).
[G3 General] hyelton:
You can use either or tot or kdz. Only time it matters is if you have an us carrier device or South Korea model. Which you don't. You'd follow the LGUP method since your on MM

Hello,

I've just donne the LGUP mode with Europe D85530B_00_1217 and my phone just keep resarting. I cant even turn it of.

It was in MM D85530C but it was with wifi problems. It wont turn on and says it was turning on.

And now LGUP can even recognize it at the pc. What should I do?
[G3 General] hyelton:
You have to place it in download mode for LGUP to see the device. Did you choose upgrade or refurbish?

I choose refurbish cause I wanted to delete everything. How can I put it in download mode if it dont stop booting?

Take the battery out and hold down volup or down while plugging in the USB cable.
