That's because because you broke your OP !! The images are missing [MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION] !! ;) Just kidding but you might want to fix it.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Lol. Images really don't do anything, but I'm waiting for my DNS changes to be made on the server those images are on.
[G3 General] jousa11:
Yep did that aswell but i just get ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? lots of them and then an button appears with ??? and thats it just goes round in circles. a screenshot might help?
[G3 General] raptor2003:
Have you changed the language to english?
[G3 General] jousa11:
Everything is in english it is just when it opens the second program the issue occurs see screenshot attached.

???????????????????? and then an restart option.
[G3 General] gee2012:
Maybe its a good idea to post pictures in bright colors of a step by step tutorial instead of all these posted not interesting words :D

Someone needs to send me an LG phone :) don't have one at the moment I can restore.

"Upgrade Stopped Due to an Error"
[G3 General] hyelton:
Phone freshly put into download mode? , lg modem shows up under ports in device manager? Downloaded kdz using a download manager?
[G3 General] aeroflott:
Double check the rom file you are using is the right one for your phone's model number. I got the same error message and was pulling my hair out. Until I realised I was trying to install a D802 rom on a D855 phone. :silly:
[G3 General] jousa11:
Yep all correct and the modem is on port 41

Edit redownloading rom just to be sure.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Well kdz method doesn't really require changing the com port.

So you used a download manager like Internet download manager or free download manager? Using Chrome,IE, or Firefox that's not a download manager.
[G3 General] raptor2003:
Ok your phone is from Singapore right ?

What's the filename of the KDZ you downloaded ?
[G3 General] jousa11:
yeah using wget

redownloading Singapore D85510B_00.kdz now was using Northern Europe D85510A_00.kdz
[G3 General] raptor2003:
Singapore D85510B_00 is good. The other should have worked too but eh...

Wish you better luck.

Edit: Stupid question: You have installed the drivers ?
[G3 General] jousa11:
Yeah all drivers installed. Cheers hope it works.

question

I have a LG g3 A6D2 (d855), if i flash v20h which ist for A6D2, will it mess up otas [MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION]
[G3 General] jousa11:
the images on the OP are not displaying, what option should phone mode be in? it is currently in "DIAG" is the correct also the Select type is CDMA
[G3 General] raptor2003:
That´s perfect.
[G3 General] jousa11:
New Error yay, says "Cannot Connect to Server please retry later"
[G3 General] raptor2003:
I had the same, let it go, look on your phone if there is progress.
[G3 General] jousa11:
All working now, It was because I was using a virtual machine. done it on a physical machine now and working fine.
[G3 General] raptor2003:
Well done. Save this KDZ somewhere, you may need it one day.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Virtual machines are not recommended that could had beeb helpful [emoji14]

Little G3

I was curious as to if it is possible to flash the Sprint LG G3 Vigor with the regular Sprint LG G3 firmware? My step-son has the Vigor and there is no root for it yet. If I can flash it with the regular firmware without it bricking, then I can root it. Thank you in advance for your help.:confused:
[G3 General] hyelton:
No, NEVER flash a firmware for another device. The LG Vigor is a completely different phone.
[G3 General] bawad96:
I have two questions. I have tried to downgrade my software twice and tried both ways and I can not seem to get it too work. For the .tot way, I've done this before about a month or so and I found my port to change it to COM 41. But when I try it out now I can't find it. So I tried the KDZ version and the progress would not go past 60% and my phone wouldn't was not doing anything either
[G3 General] hyelton:
Phone in download mode when checking com port to change it?
[G3 General] bawad96:
Yup both times
[G3 General] megafan:
I have bricked my phone (don't know how ), or it's a hardware failure (maybe mmc), i tried to restore backup that i've restored a couple of times prior to today, and always was all ok, but not this time, twrp reported error during restore and had to pull out the battery to restart the phone and now can't enter to recovery or boot up the system because restore proces wasn't completed.

I tried with flash tool 2014 and didn't have success, keep getting message 'the phone disconnected from pc', drivers are installed correctly, but maybe my problem is that when i try to enter download mode after 4-5 seconds of download mode screen it transfers to fastboot mode started (no 'firmware update' screen). Tried with laf.img, recovery.img, boot.img via fastboot commands and keep getting messages 'failed: flash write error.' Is there any method that I could try? I read in the OP 'the old hard kdz method but link is broken, I wonder will that help me?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Hmmm first of all the two methods in the OP are the only full back to stock methods. The link to the old method I removed the page as it's not needed and hardly even works. Its the same method as the current kdz method but its broken. The phone HAS to be in download mode before it will flash, I cannot say how if your phone wont stay or go into download mode.
[G3 General] alkmaar:
Australia?

Hi, I'm using a vodafone LG G3 D855 in Australia (Got the phone here). Which firmware should i use?
[G3 General] raptor2003:
I would try number #6 here.
[G3 General] alkmaar:
What do i do incase the phone bricks? I mean it seems the right firmware but still wanna be sure.

Also, by downloading the #6 thing i've done the part 1. Are the rest of the things i have to download the same as the ones mentioned in the thread?
[G3 General] raptor2003:
The pictures are currently broken in the OP but they will come back.

So step 1 is done with your 6VD/VODAFONE_16G(AUSTRALIA) KDZ (I suppose your phone is 16GB)

Step 2: just download and install the drivers.

Step 2.1 isn't needed.

Step 3: download and extract the tool.

Step 4: put your phone in download mode

Step 5: launch the extracted tool (I suggest to do is as admin)

Step 6: Select your KDZ, don't touch the Type and phonemode (CDMA / DIAG)

Step 7: click CSE Flash

Step 8: click start at the bottom right of the new window

Step 9: if a window ask you about language: select english

Step 10: sit back and RELAX :D / watch on your phone for progress

You might have an error message at this point ("Cannot connect to server....") Ignore it, it's kinda a good sign :P
[G3 General] hyelton:
I'm trying to get a hold of an LG phone to redo the guide and add more pics but its taking time :), I'm just limited on funds haha.
[G3 General] raptor2003:
If one day I have to flash mine and you haven't done anything yet, I'll do pics.
[G3 General] alkmaar:
Alright so i did all the steps mentioned (I used the #7 firmware) and once it was all done, My phone is still 5.0 lollipop. I thought the point of this was to downgrade the phone so i could root it.
[G3 General] raptor2003:
Well that's normal. If you look #7 is V20F and #6 is V10I.

V10 = KK.

V20 = LL.

At least the procedure works for you. You just gotta use the appropriate firmware ;)
[G3 General] alkmaar:
haha oh crap. Well at least i did it right. Basically i've just done a factory reset on my phone. Will try again tomorrow with #6 and let you know how it goes. Thanks for the help though! it really is pretty simple!
[G3 General] raptor2003:
Yep, complete factory reset with modem, recovery, sytem, data, .... Brand new phone.
[G3 General] igor_anta:
Just one question, does, for example, the Europe Common 16G... refer to just the 16GB model is it has nothing to do with it?
[G3 General] gee2012:
LG G3 roms can be flashed on both the 16 and 32GB models.
[G3 General] sdesmore:
Hi

I installed KK then rooted and installed TWRP. Installed CM12. I want to now install the latest Lollipop ROM but keep root access how do I do this?

Thanks in advance
[G3 General] gee2012:
Not, Lollipop is not directly rootable atm ;)
[G3 General] sdesmore:
I'm already rooted running cm12. Can I just flash the latest lollipop ROM in recovery. Will I still be rooted
[G3 General] raptor2003:
If you flash a rooted LL Rom yes, if you go back to stock no.
[G3 General] fauzirfandika:
Hello all, just a noob question ... Can i flash another rom (non stock rom like cyanogenmod / anhd etc) with this method ?
[G3 General] raptor2003:
No. For that use need to use this method to downgrade to KK (if you are on LL), then root and flash a custom recovery before flashing a custom rom.
[G3 General] igor_anta:
Since I can't see the pics in the OP can someone please explain how to set up Flashtool? As in what to select under the "Select Type", "PhoneMode" and "Reset Time" options.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Images are not needed.. If in the guide if it changes to change something change it but if not dont. Flashtool settings stay default..
[G3 General] raptor2003:
Look at my previous post here. Of course change step 1.
[G3 General] mamaloo-xda:
hi

guys I have problem, I just wanted to have a rooted lollipop so decided to root 4.4.2 and update to lollipop using rooted D855V20F.zip from twrp but now when I just update to lollipop my g3 does not have navigation keys and the background is blank (black)... what should I do? and also LG apps like quick remot, smart world, calculator and... are gone. please help
[G3 General] gee2012:
Did you perform a full wipe? f not data factory reset, that may help.
[G3 General] mamaloo-xda:
You mean I should perfurm a full wipe with twrp (system data and every thing) and again flash lollipop with fashtool 2014???
[G3 General] raptor2003:
This tool has nothing to do with TWRP. It is used for KDZ. You can't flash zips with it.

TWRP is used to flash zips. If you use TWRP a full wipe may be required depending on what you are doing.

Where is your zip from ?
[G3 General] mamaloo-xda:
I think thats because I've flashed a rooted lollipop (D855v20F) from twrp and somrthing is wrong with partitions
[G3 General] hyelton:
What is your model #?
[G3 General] mamaloo-xda:
f.zip I was on D855v10g and the update comes with v20f so I downloaded the rooted D855V20.zip and flashed it throught twrp but no luck... again returned to 4.4.2 and again flashed the official lollipop (D855V20F) with flash tool... and no navi bars no background and no wallpaper and no lg apps (quick memo, quick remote, downloads, calculator....)

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------

D855

on kikkat it was: V10G

on lollipop: V20F

but the kitkat rom that I have is v10I... and I flash the V20F lolipop... could this be the problem? both (v10i and v10g are for United Arab Emairats)

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

whats the different between ARE and 6RE? Can I flash ARE/UNITED ARAB EMIRATES on 6RE/UNITED ARAB EMIRATES ??
[G3 General] Sipi1302:
If I'm not mistaken 6RE is for g3 16gb version and ARE is for 32gb version of g3.
[G3 General] fauzirfandika:
Ah yep ... Thanks
[G3 General] ukjh4:
help

hello :)

so I was on stock lollipop and I wanted to go back to stock kitkat I did everything on this thread. my lg g3 (d85520F) was formatted but still on lollipop not kitkat what did I do wrong?

P.S sorry for my english
[G3 General] raptor2003:
You probably used the wrong KDZ. What the version you flashed ? 20F?
[G3 General] ukjh4:
The Kdz I used is "Three UK D85520F_00.kdz"
[G3 General] raptor2003:
Well that's your problem. V20 is LL, you need to use a V10 for KK.
[G3 General] ukjh4:
Thanks so should I download any 10F or is there a specific one I need to download?
[G3 General] raptor2003:
Are you unbranded or your phone is locked to a carrier ?
[G3 General] ukjh4:
It's unbranded d855 international
[G3 General] raptor2003:
Ok, so you the Europe Common 16GB you can find in the OP.
[G3 General] ukjh4:
Thank you and Sorry for the many questions but mine is 32g is it the same?
[G3 General] raptor2003:
People have said here that they are the same.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Update everyone! Hoping to buy a G3 later tonight so I can get to work on a newer guide with pictures. :)
[G3 General] raptor2003:
Don't brick it ;)
[G3 General] mamaloo-xda:
I've fixed it, Just flashed 4.4.2 then I prtformed a full wipe with twrp I checked all partitions even system except external memory, Then flashed official lollipop kdz.

Thanks for really really helping me!!!

[G3 General] trenty12:
Does anybody know of any changes to this in the past week?

I have used this process many times in the past and it was only a few days ago that I used the same procedure to update my D855 to the latest Lollipop.

I have since seen that their is a UK Open version that I would prefer to have instead so I have just tried to do the process again but it just isnt happening for me.

- I get the phone into download mode and i get the firmware update screen and says the 'do not unplug.....' and then 'User B58' in the box at the bottom.

- I then open the LG Flash Tool, select my KDZ, click either flash method, then start, then OK.

- Support tool then loads and starts doing its thing but then eventually i get the screen that says 'Upgrade stopped due to an error'

- Nothing ever happens on the phone screen.

I think the issue is that the driver 'LGE Android MTP Device' always fails to install and im not sure why? I didnt have this issue any of the other times I did this
[G3 General] hyelton:
Nothing has changed..

Does LGModem show up under ports on device manager? If not then it's defiantly a driver issue.

I've said this a few times, LG flashtools are very touchy when it comes to drivers, and flashing,etc. One min it will work next it takes restoring your PC. It can be touchy. Try rebooting PC?
[G3 General] trenty12:
Thanks, yeah LGE Mobile USB Modem shows in device manager and restarting doesn't seem to help.

Im now thinking that maybe this MTP issue has nothing to do with it and may be on LG end, not sure. Will just have to keep trying

I know what the problem is now....kind of annoying i've wasted hours! :silly:

The UK Open KDZ within the LG G3 section is actually a G2 (D802) KDZ so its in the wrong location - http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/United+Kingdom/

Does an Open UK D855 exist at all?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Sorry about that I'll remove that. The only UK open one I found for the g3 would install Hong Kong stuff so it really wasn't uk then.
[G3 General] trenty12:
Ok, no worries :) Out of interest do you know which version is used on unbranded sim free UK LG G3?
[G3 General] cowsquad:
I know how to follow the inatructions. That wasnt my issue. I said that I have tried to download the files from method 1 and 2./both of them contain the tot file. Method 1 should have a kdz file but it does not
[G3 General] hyelton:
Exactly.. You didn't follow the OP... In the OP it states some models will either be tot or kdz ONLY... You also didn't list your model #. What's your model #?

You can still get OTA updates but they won't come any faster as it's not a true unbranded phone.

I'm just guessing it'll be lit or not to updates via ota
[G3 General] Joao Oliveira:
He's right! the fact that you flash a firmware from other country doesn't change a thing. phone still stays branded underneath. It's not like Samsung devices that flash a different firmware it changes the phone zone.

if you go to http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=

the phone suffix is always the same no matter which firmware you will use so unless thres a way to change that there's no way to get OTA in advance.

I'm also stuck on "ready." I followed the instructions in that link, changing the com port in device manager to 41, and tried unplugging and replugging the USB cable.

Any other advice?

EDIT:

I think I see the problem, but not the solution. In device manager, it says "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)."
