It is on the phone.

For example: one carrier in my country has unbranded G3 while the other has with its bloatware that you can get rid of only if you manually delete folder. Flashing kdz does not help.
[G3 General] padremayi:
Is there a specific area on the device that NO-BRANDED .kdz or .tot doesn't re-write?
[G3 General] r3ix84:
Good afternoon. I have a doubt and i need help. I have flashed a custom rom(Android HD now) and yesterday i wanted to back to lg stock rom(20e). I have flashed 20e with clean install kdz via LG flash tool 2014 and when it turns on, i dont have nav bar, status bar, lost many LG things. I tried many times the clean install but never work well. Then i flash LG stock 4.4.2 and everything alright.

I flashed again the Android HD now because i want 5.0 but now im afraid flash again the stock rom. What i did wrong? Or What i need to flash stock 20e with everything alright?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Did you perform a factory reset after flashing?
[G3 General] r3ix84:
Yes of course. It was very strange... It never happened to me in many phones that i have

I have flashed many times the stock rom with clean install, flashed via ota too and never worked. The 4.4.2 worked well but the 5.0 not!! I have flashed again the custom rom and worked perfectly but i want stock rom. Now i am staying with custom because im afraid to flash stock again and mess up again

[G3 General] chucklehead:
I've been trying for a few days now to downgrade/root my VS985. I came from a VS980 and I've used both the .tot and .kdz methods to downgrade before. That being said, when it came time to change the COM ports to 41 I was able to do it with the VS980. When I went to change the COM ports this time they weren't there to change. NO COM ports were even visible. When I plugged my device in it shows as a Portable Device and no COM options at all.

If this has been addressed already, could someone please point me in the right direction. If it hasn't... any ideas how to get around it?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Phone has to be in Download mode before the COM port will show up.
[G3 General] r3ix84:
It is possible to flash the complete 20e stock with no root and no bump via zip? Right now i have twrp
[G3 General] hyelton:
No You must follow the OP. You cannot flash 100% stock through twrp.
[G3 General] chucklehead:
Still nothing. I thought maybe I had skipped a step but it doesn't show up before it's in download mode or after it's in download mode. I've tried a couple different drivers but still no luck.

It looks as though I may have to manually install a port for it. Any idea what the specific type would be?

UPDATE: Still no luck. I'm on 12B and can't seem to get the right drivers installed or the right COM port installed. Don't know if either of those 2 are the issue or not. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks in advance.
[G3 General] padremayi:
Thanks ;)

Why it isn't on http://storagecow.eu/ ?
[G3 General] r3ix84:
I need help please. I am on custom rom in my g3 but when i want to back to stock lollilop, i lost nav bar, status bar. Any help?? I always do a clean install with factory reset

[MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION]

So, can you please edit the OP that we can flash 16gb on 32gb + 32Gb on 16GB...

BTW. becuse G3 are by IMEI I can flash "old" 4.4.2 "L" after 5.0 "E" and the software version keep to be the same,right?

exp:

I have V20-ERU-XX D855 I flash V10L-SEA-XX it will dwongreat (hard reset of course in downgreating) and it will keep the region V10L-ERU-XX ?

Even if I go back form costum rom of 5.0 like Cloudy if I flahe 4.4.2 form other Region it will still be V10L-ERU-XX?

To prevnet all the same Q can you plase add Q&A in Op or #2 post?

Thank you man for a great Job!

guys when i flash 20 e via flashtool also with lg pc suit my status bar and navigation bar will disappeared and cant turn on wifi !! only with stock 20 E

[G3 General] cbloveday:
OK. I've been at this since this morning going on about 12 hours and 4 different computers. I have a VS985 Verizon LG G3. It was rooted at one point but then took update and lost root, but even after losing root it shows rooted. I've been trying the TOT method and I have the LGE COM PORT set to 41 and get up to the point of the Yellow arrow. Once I press it nothing happens at all on any of the 4 computers using USB 2.0. I've tried all the little tricks people have posted saying it worked but it's not for me. I did the battery pull and replace while holding Volume+, unplugged the USB and plugged back in every possible way, I'm at a loss and need to get this to work to return it to Verizon for Warranty replacement. PLEASE someone have something for me. I've asked for help on another post and have no responses.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Are you putting the phone into download mode?
[G3 General] cbloveday:
I am. I actually just now finished flashing it using the KDZ method. I got the KDZ file for my phone from a program called Original LG Firmware. I had tried it also without success but it finally worked this last attempt. Now if only I could figure out why the lower right portion of my screen goes all pixelated when play Clash of Clans or using the default Fireworks wallpaper.
[G3 General] hyelton:
If its doing it say when your phone heats up then its a hardware issue.
[G3 General] cbloveday:
It goes crazy with it if I set it to the pre-installed Fireworks wallpaper. That's actually the issue I was going to have it replaced over, but they wouldn't take it showing previously been rooted.

Cheers,
[G3 General] Eagle-no1:
Version of the question.

Is this the correct version Northern Europe D85510A_00.kdz for use Finland ?

Whether the version 4.4.2 ?

My phone is the LG-D855 32GB

Android 5.0 version of the software V20e-EUR-XX
[G3 General] hyelton:
Whichever one that matches your country and model.

10a should be 4.4.2 or 4.4.4

[G3 General] John Preston:
whats wrong

Hi guys! First of all i hope purpledrake and the other guys working on a simple root method with stock android 5.0 like 4.4.2.

untill when they done!

I'm sorry for my bad english. I didn't learn in school. I've learned another language. But here is my question.

I have an LG G3 D855 32GB now with original LG android 5.0. (V20e-EUR-XX)

and i want to downgrade to LG Android 4.4.2 (if im remember good that was v10L-EUR-XX). I don't know where i can find that, but i found "LGD855AT-00-V10e-EUR-XX-JUL-08-2014-32G+0.tot" thats good for me? (it's realy important to firmware have hungarian language. Now when i use lg flash tool and clicking the yellow arrow, it make some time and it found my phone. The program says com 41 port is READY. But when I want to turn off my phone it don't do it. it not powering off, so i removed the batery and quickly puting it in, then press the power up to get back in to firmware update. But it staying on 0% and not do anything. Whats wrong with that? :S

I want to downgrade 4.4.2 then root, then twrp, and then install rooted android 5.0. (oh i almost forget. That rooted android 5.0 (chupachups) is it have hungarian language?)

Kindly thank you guys for the informative answeres :)

Need latest kitkat F400K KDZ!

I have been shifted from F400L to F400K.!

As far as i know, Lollipop can not be rooted directly until now (in case of kdz/tot). therefore i am using kitkat kdz (in case of soft brick) and downloaded version 10T KDZ. But i was not able to find latest kitkat 10U KDZ. :(

Please share the link if anyone have. Thanks in advance!

I have an D855 purchased from Hong Kong. The software version is currently v10k-SEA-xx and I want to downgrade to an earlier stock rom so I can root and bump. Which kdz can I use, or can I use the HKG tots for 32gb?

I only found 32gb eur version in tot. That's why i ask here for kdz version. I have tried to

Flash this tot.but my phone was freezed in firware update 0% and my only way to turn it off to release the batterys off. Becuse it not powered off with power button. Now i thought to try a kdz method but i dont see any 4.4.2 v10L-EUR-XX 32gb official kdz.
[G3 General] aloniado:

shall I start the entire process again? Is there a chance to brick?

Really tiny chance
[G3 General] vineet381:
trying again, the only thing in step 14 which I did different was to take off the battery and insert it again and press vloume+ to go to download mode as the pressing power didnt help,

---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

OK, this time it gave a different error

CrossDL [F400L] to [F400K]. SW version.

I think because the ROM VT changed by software version to F400L and I am trying to flash 400K firmware 400K this is why it is giving me an error, do u recommend to download 400L software and DLL and flash it?
[G3 General] Lostatsea23:
You can try that, it might work
[G3 General] vineet381:
PASS!! :) only thing is I am on stock 400L even though my phone is 400K, any idea on how to get back to stock?
[G3 General] Lostatsea23:
Change the build.prop to say f400k and try to flash that rom
[G3 General] vineet381:
u mean the ROM which caused this issue?
[G3 General] Lostatsea23:
wait , what phone do u have
[G3 General] vineet381:
I have F400K, I flashed VT V6 ROM which got my phone to 400L and giving me errors on boot, when tried flashing stock 400K tot, it gave me an error, tried with 400L tot and it passed, I am now on stock 400L and wondering if I can go back to my stock 400K settings from day one.

You have to download a build.prop editor and you need root, than open the editor and search for ro.product.model changing it to f400k. At this point you can use f400k tot with f400k dll. That's it.

As stated in the OP and I've said this hundreds of times lol, no its only possible using flashtool as these are factory files and a factory way of going back to stock.

What drivers is it showing "not" installed?

Hi

please can someone help, i have read the forum and tried searching for a solution to the appcrash that happens when i tried to read phone information from the LG Flash Tool 2014, but no one seems to have had this issue. I am running windows 7 pro and have the 16gb G3 D855 Hungary vodafone upgraded to lollipop.

That's because your NOT supposed to click that.... Its supposed to freeze... You click start or start upgrade as stated in the OP.

This guide is for downgrading/upgrading/going back to stock. Its the same method to downgrading.

kdz or tot method to downgrade

Which of the 2 methods is best for me for what im doing. Or does it make no diference. Of course the twrp method wont work becuase i dont have root. Since its imposible on 10r
[G3 General] hyelton:
Depends, what's your model?
[G3 General] YourWorstFears:
D851 and im on 10r which is the latest

So T-Mobile? :). You can either flash 10c via tot or use a different version with kdz. Both methods will work for you.

LG G3 D855 not recognized while in dowload mode.

Hi, I'm using the KDZ method to flash the lollipop rom but every time it gets to around 25% (on the pc, not the phone) it says that my phone is disconnected but phone is properly detected and I can move files from and to it when phone is ON.

Nothing happens to the phone itself, it is not bricked but in order to get out of download mode I have to take out the battery because trying anything else does not work, once again, the phone is not bricked, I have rooted and installed custom roms on HTC and Samsung phones before but never LG and I just bought it yesterday, it is the D855 international model with software version v10O (that's the letter O) AME (I'm in South America so I assume that's what it means).

When I go to devicer manager while phone is connected to PC and it is in download mode, it shows the phone but with a yellow warning sign like something is wrong, I heard about changing to com port 41 but do not know how to do that or if that will fix it, if anyone can assist I would seriously appreciate it!

PS: I'm using Windows 8.1 if that matters

PSS: I have google play edition rom (official RUU) installed on an HTC One M7 with lollipop 5.01 and I loved it so much that I REALLY would like to have lollipop installed on this G3, thanks.

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

I was stupid and tried 2 different drivers downloaded from the internet for the D855 that did not properly work it seems, but installed the one that comes with the phone itself and I was able to install lollipop!, it's even smoother than before, although the battery when screen is on use seems to drain a little faster than before...not too sure for now, but I keep the brightness pretty high at 82% which is the same I used before the update and this morning it lasted almost an hour of screen-on use with wifi on 100% but we'll see what happens in a daily normal use (today I don't have to work so I'm gonna be playing with it a lot hehe).
[G3 General] hyelton:
Also a little tip, flashing requires you to be in download mode, if you can transfer files to and from your computer your not In download mode.

if yes than where to place this .dll file?

You don't need the DLL file if your using the kdz method. Just the kdz file:). .

[G3 General] Moonfrost1:
Yeah I know, the point was that it would not detect the phone in download mode, only normally plugging it while phone was normally on, but it would otherwise not allow me to flash, so had to install the driver that comes with the phone in order to be able to flash while in download mode.
