That really stinks then as there's no other way around that. At least you can still use custom roms.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Have you tried flashing a stock based D850 rom? And installing mcafee and seeing what happens? Instead of just trying from a backup?

.tot files are most safest.. IMO! Search for the .tot files and the .dll files using the above links... If you can't find the .tot let me know.. I'l search more :)

You should have the .dll file.. you just need the .tot file

Use the suggested flashing tool in http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-flash-unbrick-lg-g3-back-to-stock.html

Locate the .tot and .dll files ..

Tried but same issue......

another problem is jus stucked up in Download mode... after reboot too same getting into download mode....

after almost an hour now shows 16% progress.... will it takes hours n hours
[G3 General] hyelton:
That's the SAME method as my OP....
[G3 General] hyelton:
That's because you'll need to use the kdz method. People don't read the OP that link has the same method that's also in my OP.

Make sure you download your kdz file using a download manager.
[G3 General] hyelton:
That blogloving site you posted I'm pretty sure is NOT allowed here... And if your READ the entire OP you'll see every link you posted all that info is IN the OP...

Also for the India version the person had to to use the KDZ method.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Hi keep in mind any links that where provided to you are to the Same method that is in my OP and WONT make any different as there's no other method that's different.

Make sure you reboot your PC uninstall everything including drivers. Reinstall everything back. Reboot PC again. reboot your phone. Download the KDZ file with a download manager (if your don't that causes errors like your having)

Try all of that, if your still having problems let me know :)

THANKS GUYS,

somehow flashed the rom
[G3 General] D0MINO:
Is there a difference between 10i and 10j as I can't find many people commenting about 10i only 10j? 10i was the latest official version with the LG Update.
[G3 General] Experiences:
I just did the kdz method for my D855 phone and did a factory reset after it booted to be sure. It worked perfectly. Thanks a lot everyone! :cyclops:
[G3 General] v_admanathan@yahoo.com:
10J is the latest one... upto my knowledge it has some power & performance updates
[G3 General] jackrip5:
Some 10i version have a younger build date and kernel than 10j. So some think that these are the latest.
[G3 General] yucelo:
Hi guys,

I wanted to clean up my system and deleted a folder by accident. Seconds later my phone restarted with bootloop.

Just reflashed stock rom D85510H_00.kdz (1st method). Ignored 1 extra popup window telling me "not connected to some server".

apps and settings are still there. Rooted again with PurpelDrake and all finished in about 10 minutes. Thank you very much for this great guide:good:
[G3 General] hyelton:
Its always recommended to reset after flashing you will most likely run into problems later if you don't.
[G3 General] yucelo:
I will, thanks again buddy.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Your welcome :). But yea reset when flashing is always recommended with Any phone, firmware, or rom
[G3 General] RedDevils88:
is it recommended to flash the 10j version using KDZ method? i am currently on version 10i.

thanks in advance

I never have any problem with LG Flash Tool 2014 nor LGUP Tool with my two USB 3.0 front ports on Renesas USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 0096 (Microsoft). I understand to your recommendation "try different USB ports or USB cable or try another PC", but why are saying that USB 3.0 won't work at all?
[G3 General] hyelton:
[Guide] LG G3 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ &amp; TOT Method

I have flashed TONS of these and not once has USB 3.0 worked. Along with every time someone has an issue majority of the time once they switch to a non USB 3.0 port it works instantly.

Also the post you quoted I said that and they used a USB 2.0 port and it worked fine for them. So using USB 3.0 does cause problems and issues with download mode.

I've flashed hundreds of LG phones. Including the hundreds of thousands here :D

Im really not sure the reason why, I just know it doesn't work haha. So you sure your front USB ports are USB 3.0?
[G3 General] hyelton:
[Guide] LG G3 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ &amp; TOT Method

Sadly you cannot flash stock firmware with download mode locked. But you can just reflash a stock custom rom if you still have twrp.
[G3 General] _jis_:
That's ok, but because it doesn't work with USB 3.0 on your PC doesn't mean that it wont work with any USB 3.0 ports. That was my point :).

I am using the same ports for flashing Motorola, Nexus and Samsung phones too for years and I never have any problem with mentioned USB 3.0 controller. But not every USB 3.0 controller is so good, that's true.
[G3 General] raoufstarck:
hello thx for your reply but i dont have twrp
[G3 General] hyelton:
It's not just my PC. My past several motherboards never worked with it either. It worked fine on Samsung stuff and my nexus 5 in the past. But not with LG flash tool. I'd hope my USB 3.0 controller is good I spent enough on it(mobo) haha I use my own custom builds)

As well as there's been at least 20+users just last month here that using a USB 2.0 port solved there flashing problems on the G2,G3,G4 so on. Now what i haven't really tried is if it makes a difference on the kdz method. Tot method it's absolutely never worked for me and loads of others. I haven't tested the theory on the kdz method side of things much.

But using USB 2.0 has solved tons of problems with flashing back to stock on LG stuff.
[G3 General] _jis_:
Thank you for this point.

I should mention that I was using only kdz files.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yeah it could possibly just be the tot method but not sure. I know with the tot method it will fail saying model info check fail with USB 3.0.
[G3 General] raoufstarck:
sorry but i do wath you explain but the app dont detect my lg g3 i have lg g3 at&t 32go can you give me your email on somthing to talk to you privatly thx

Your phone is in download mode right? And you changed the lg com port to com41 in device manager correct?
[G3 General] hodgestl:
First let me say Welcome to the Forums, and also Happy New Year. However, it looks like you are brand new here. So just some few basic guidelines. First of all, it is way out of bounds to ask a dev or a forum host for their private email. Hundreds or even thousands of folks have used this information without requesting a private conversation. You should feel confident that you can do it too.

Second, and this is the most important thing about being on XDA, you have to read, Read, READ! When you get that done, read some more. And when you are sick and tired of reading and just want someone to hold your hand and do it for you, my advice is to read some more.

If you are not willing to put in lots of your own effort, you cannot expect the forum host or anyone else to jump in and fix your phone. However, there are thousands of folks here that are willing to help. But first you have to help yourself. Then, and only then, you should describe in complete detail everything about your phone and everything you have done and everything that you have learned. Then we all will be ready to jump in and help. But please don't ask for the private email of the host. Can you imagine his life if thousands of us did that? Not at all reasonable. Good luck with your reading and Happy New Year.

Please hit the THANKS button if I have helped you.

http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW4E9WH23288A6A4C49969V/D85521A_00.kdz

So i downloaded this D85521A_00.kdz file

So now i open LG flash tool 2014 and follow instructions as described in first post?

Also i read somewhere that sometimes you get a fail around 80% flashing. What do i have to do then just in case i get that error?

Thanks
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes you put that in flash tool and do a CSE flash.

That's not an error. That's normal that's why I've stated it. Anything after 80% is done flashing rest is rebooting.
[G3 General] raoufstarck:
how can i explain you my phone is on download mode right but its blocked by kill switch so its not detected bu the computer like normal lg g3 on download mode its inknown divice
[G3 General] hyelton:
I know what your talking about, but there's no way at all around it sadly.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Not sure if this is legit or just spam, But Everything needed is IN the OP, Also if you look that site pretty much everything thats on XDA members guides, including this own guide and website :p
[G3 General] vassagout:
You're right, it looks like that but I found the original post on xda:

i was able to bring back the stock firmware(4.4.2) by using TOT method , unfortunately kdz method didn't worked for me . Now when i checked the software update i got message that no software update is available. why is it so ?

Please suggest how to update OS to latest stock firmware.

I've downloaded TOT files for Eur D855 32gb model.
[G3 General] hyelton:
That would mean you haven't performed a factory reset or there is no update available.

Sometimes you have to perform a reset several times on lg devices befor ota actually works.
[G3 General] ankitbirdi:
I did factory reset several times but still I'm getting the same result. Will try to install the IND version from kdz method, That's the official one for me.
[G3 General] raoufstarck:
but my problem i have kill switch he block the download mode so if i try this methode i dont need downoad mode ?
[G3 General] hyelton:
I know this I've already responded to your post. There's no way around it. And you have to have download mode to be able to go back to stock.

[G3 General] mrjayviper:
can you please make the images bigger for the KDZ method? it's too small on my mac and my PC. I've tried chrome and firefox. thanks :)
[G3 General] hyelton:
Images are not needed there just there. You choose the kdz and select cse flash, thats it:). You sure the zoom is not down on your browsers? The images are fairly large.
[G3 General] mrjayviper:
thanks for the larger image. When viewed on a laptop though (perhaps desktop as well), they are not readable. I wasn't sure if I need to change the 1st 2 dropdown list. :)
[G3 General] hyelton:
You don't need to change anything:). That's strange I can see it fine on mine. You can always use the browser zoom function to make pages larger. Especially if you use a Retina display on the Mac haha

hey guys i am having trouble updating to marshmallow from the official kdz using lg flash tool. at it seems the upgrade is stuck at 11% which took a ridiculous time already of 35 minutes to reach that point. on my phone the process bar reached 2% and then went back to 1% and then to 2% again! but for 10 minutes now the update on the computer screen hasnt progressed past the 11% mark, so what do i do? i am on windows 10 and the display of my phone shows COM4. is there another better method to flash the kdz? is my phone bricked?
[G3 General] erreum:
Hi guys,

I'm having a problem using the KDZ method: I downloaded and installed the LG Drivers, but when I enter download mode the drivers don't load correctly, resulting at LG Mobile Support Tool stating that my phone is not connected. I tried the solution offered here but it just does not work. Does anyone have a solution for this?

I'm using Win10 x64.

Here are some screenshots to better illustrate my problem:

[G3 General] hyelton:
You need to be checking if the com port shows up not MTP that's normal for it to say that as MTP is not needed. Also use the tot method of all else fails.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Downgrading from 6.0 requires you to use LGUP I'll be adding it later today.
[G3 General] i0r3k:
Hi everyone! Happy 2016! I am a beginner in Android since I got a LG G3 D855 international model from my phone provider (Movistar Costa Rica).

I followed here in XDA a guide to root my G3 and install CloudyG3 2.5 to resolve some issues like temperature.

But now, I want to be ready for Android 6.0 but I need to go back to stock in order to do that. I have the original kdz file and the other sw mentioned here.

Can anyone advise me if I have to take any other step since I am downgrading from lollipop in cloudy G3 to KitKat (stock)? Do I have to save something from the device system?

Thanks in advance for the help!
[G3 General] hodgestl:
These would have been really good questions to ask BEFORE you rooted and installed a custom rom. Having done that, however, I would go to the 1st post of this forum and read it several times. You will find all of the tools there that you need. Once you have read that first post several times, go ahead and read the first 10 pages of this forum. When you get through with that, please read the last 20 pages of this forum, and then go back and read post number 1 just one last time. Then see what questions you may have. I suspect it will be a lot clearer to you then. Good luck!
[G3 General] erreum:
Well, what should I do now?

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 AM ----------

Tried once again and the application stopped working once more.

The strange thing is that it does a full wipe but the old ROM stays, like it was doing a factory reset.
[G3 General] hyelton:
That shows that it's finished.
[G3 General] erreum:
The application stopping workings show it's finished?

And I tried to flash the version v20c, but on phone it remains v20a. That's why I said it seems to do just a factory reset, wiping everything but no changing the ROM.
[G3 General] dttungz:
That's most of us got after a successful flash. The desktop application ends with that error, but the phone restarts into the new ROM without issue. Please check your phone screen in download mode during the flash, the version of the ROM being installed should be displayed there in a small log window, along with any other errors / unusual messages that might help troubleshoot your problem.
[G3 General] mahmoud yasser:
using lgup tool to downgrade to lollipop can't point to KDZ only TOT allowed to be checked and i can't find V21c TOT
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes.. It will ALMOST always do that after flashing. Its normal. So your flashing a V20C KDZ?

Yeah correct :)
[G3 General] hyelton:
Theres NO V21c TOT.. only KDZ. You must select view all files. LGUP does BOTH TOT & KDZ.
[G3 General] firedani:
Does this work on win10 aswell? Just to be sure.

Edit: and it should show com3 below port?

[G3 General] victoriousbig:
To anyone having issues trying to use the TOT method on Windows 10, here are some things I did:

1. Be sure to use the cable that came with your LG G3

2. Make sure you restart your device after changing the port to 41

3. Make sure you run LGFlashTool in Admin mode

4. Change the LGFlashTool compatibility settings to Windows 7

5. Don't use a USB 3.0 port
[G3 General] hyelton:
Good tips! They're also spread across in the OP as well :) it's not just for Windows 10 it's for every OS. Also compatibility mode doesn't really do much for flash tool but I guess it doesn't hurt.

But I'll add this to the 2nd post as tips and maybe more will then see it.
[G3 General] victoriousbig:
Personally I found that running the program normally led me to failures at the 15 second mark, but as soon as I changed the compatibility it worked for me. You are right though, I just put it out there incase it could help others :o

Do I use LGUP for this? I have download D850 20f lolipop stock zip. is this kdz file? thanks in advance!
[G3 General] i0r3k:
Good evening lads. I have followed these instructions to the letter without issues during the process (KDZ Method from CloudyG3 2.5 to stock LP). However, I have found that my camera has the flash light option disabled now and also I cannot find in my notification area the icon to turn on the flashlight for illumination purpose only.

Has anyone faced something similar? If you do, how did you fix it? I have a D855 international.

Thanks in advance!
[G3 General] morfeas-dsl-:
choose upgrade. Then the option to see kdz files will be available. Choose the file you want and then press refurbish instead of upgrade
[G3 General] HaegoN:
I bought the lg g3 with lollipop already, can i use this way to downgrade to kitkat?
[G3 General] hyelton:
You cannot flash Lollipop. You only have KitKat to flash via the TOT method, as there is no Lollipop TOT. Only way to get official lollipop is to OTA update, and have an active AT&T sim.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Well thats one of the points of this guide :p
[G3 General] karaflix:
Hi, thanks for the guide.

I'm coming from the moto series and things are a bit different with the LG G3 so I have a few questions.

First of all, i have the D855 variant (in Greece using Cosmote) and i've been rooted and got no OTA updates since October (probably irrelevant but just in case).

I now wish to wipe everything and install MM. So I donwloaded the LGUP.zip and inside are LGUP_8974_DLL_Ver_0_5_CODEFIRE.MSI and LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3.msi. I'm guessing in the step: " Install LGUP_8994_DLL first and then LGUP" the number is a typo and you just mean to install them in that order? Or am I getting something completely wrong? Also, which KDZ file do I need? I found one for me in http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/D855/ named Greece Cosmote D85520h_00.kdz but I have no clue whether this is MM or not. I'm guessing it isn't but which KDZ do I need then? will the one from this thread http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/stock-d855-30b-images-kdz-flashables-t3282012 work in my country? I am lost, please help
[G3 General] ghylander:
But right now MM for the g3 is only available in Poland
[G3 General] hyelton:
Incorrect , you can flash other country firmwares as long as it's the same model.
[G3 General] ghylander:
Oh cool didnt know that
[G3 General] karaflix:
So I just use the one provided in the MM thread? I'm 99.9% sure it is the plain D855 model
[G3 General] hodgestl:
Please do not ask in this thread about the proper rom or steps that you want to flash from another thread. Please feel free to go to the MM thread you are referring to and ask any and all of your questions there. This developer is not expected to know about whatever may be in another thread. Thanks and good luck.
[G3 General] hyelton:
This thread is for things like that MM is just another kdz which is what is talked about here so here is the place to ask :)
