Once again, [MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION] saves the day.

For some reason, my wife's G3 (Rogers D852) was bootlooping after restoring an app in Titanium Backup. Before trying this method, I tried using the official LG Mobile Support Tool at http://www.lg.com/ca_en/support-mobile/lg-LGD852 to install stock firmware. Since her phone was on KitKat (10b), it told me there was an update to Lollipop (20c). When I started the process, it downloaded the Lollipop KDZ to my computer before the starting the upgrade. Unfortunately, it was erased once the upgrade was completed and I can't find it in the Recycle Bin.

Since my wife prefers KitKat, I just used this guide to install the TOT. Maybe someone with KitKat can run the LG Tool and capture the Lollipop KDZ file before it gets erased and add it to the file repository. I would love to be able to flash the Lollipop KDZ directly instead of downloading OTA.

I can try, but I might accidentally mess up wife's phone again and pay the consequences...
[G3 General] hyelton:
:) Thing about that, is after some time the old versions are removed from LG servers. But the TOT is the same as doing the kdz method, just a different method. And in some cases TOT is actually more reliable.
[G3 General] zhzhou:
Yes, I've found that the TOT method is more reliable and flexible. The drawback is that it deletes everything on internal SD. However, with the KDZ method, I can flash the system and keep my existing data and apps.

For example, my own G3 is on Lollipop and rooted with TWRP I can't take the latest update because of this. Flashing the Lollipop KDZ should allow me to preserve my data and then take the update. I'd only have to re-root and install TWRP again. Currently, I have to install the KK TOT, then upgrade to LP, take the update, and then restore all my settings. It takes a lot more time.
[G3 General] asiaticl:
I cant get past using the tool to flash because when i plug in my phone the lg drivers wont fully install and the flash tool leaves a bunch of ????? please help!!! somebody
[G3 General] d0pamine:
.tot method = MODEL Information check FAIL, .kdz = 4% , then crash

I have a LG G3 D851 T Mobile that is stuck in boot loop it only shows the LG logo then turns off and repeats over and over unless the battery is removed. Each cycle takes place in a matter of 3 seconds.

It won't let me post pictures (links) in my post because I am a new user but here are the error screen shots: just change hxxp to http:

hxxp://i.imgur.com/sRnaRvD.jpg?1

I have tested various methods in the to flash back to the stock firmware Kit Kat 4.4.2 without any success. I have tried the .TOT method with the correct files and also the model information bypass .dll ( LGUP_8974.dll) and the .KDZ method.

1) Where I am getting stuck on the .TOT method is: Model Information Check FAIL!

2) Where I am getting stuck on the .TOT method with the bypass model check is:

Error: [14: 622] CrossDL [] to D851. SWversion

3) Where I am getting stuck at using the .KDZ method is during the S/W Upgrade is in progress , ALWAYS stops at 4 % !

I've tried this 50 times at least, it always stops at 4% no matter how long I wait or how many times I select Retry, I get the same error pictured above.

Can someone please offer any help what to try or where to go next, I'm stumped! I just want the phone to boot up and work lol, Kit Kat or Lollipop, it doesn't matter, just a working LG G3 for T-Mobile back functioning.

Please help!
[G3 General] uumeshh:
^^ there is a log file created in the TOT method. Have a look at it. You'll get a clue as to what the problem is.
[G3 General] droidfreak007:
should i choose cdma in the kdz method even though i have a gsm phone? tmobile

and what is diag?

thanks
[G3 General] ThePagel:
Yes use cdma
[G3 General] simes6600:
i messed up my G3 when i did a factory reset and this guide helped no end! the tot method worked on my UK G3, had to plug/unplug my phone a few times in the upgrade as was getting download fail errors, but it worked! kudos hyelton :)
[G3 General] tuneboy2005:
Hi, can someone direct me in the good way to download the KDZ file for my phone. In screenshots is my model and other info. When i look into the directory of KDZ files a see alot of them for the G3 but don't know excactly wich one to choose.

Thanks
[G3 General] yourmate:
CMDA

just wanted to ask the same as it's quite confusing :confused:

this SHOULD be noted in OP, update please
[G3 General] ThePagel:
Honestly I can't tell you why us gsm people need to use cdma, it's what the dev who originally hacked together the tool instructed. To be fair the op says "Run LGFlashTool2014.exe and do as following pictures" and the picture shows cdma.
[G3 General] yourmate:
you are perfectly right by saying that (and I have noticed it myself) but if you know the difference between the two then you definitely want to make sure before proceeding :D
[G3 General] mkatforum:

I used the KDZ unroot method and I believe that I am unrooted (I used Root Checker). Looking in the settings my phone says that my software status is modified. Why is this? I thought this brought me completely back to stock.

[G3 General] rebelzrocks:
Hi guys i have everything set up to restore my soft bricked phone to stock except for one thing. my PC does not detect my LGE Android device. i go into control panel, sound and hardware, and then device manager to see a yellow alert sign beside MTP USB Device. My lg drivers wont work too. They have a red cross sign beside LGE Android mtp device. Any help please? Oh btw is there a way to check root status of my phone? It can go into download mode and if i really cant fix my phone by myself then i may consider sending it to LG under warranty. I have a suspicion that the problem with the drivers are due to my phone. If so the LG guys cant detect my root as my phone wont be detected on a PC? Thanks
[G3 General] yourmate:
What about Recovery Mode? What do you have there?
[G3 General] rebelzrocks:
Yeah i can get into it but the factory reset does nothing for me. ill try the factory reset again.

edit : factory reset just causes it to get stuck in the LG Lifes Good screen. the last time i tried it i let it run for the whole night and it was still the same in the morning.
[G3 General] yourmate:
What I meant was if you had custom recovery installed or not ;)

If it won't connect I don't think they will bother JTAG it or else but if you leave something obvious on there you might have problems...
[G3 General] rebelzrocks:
No I don't have custom recovery installed. Tbh I don't even know the meaning of that. I only bothered rooting and installing XPosed and uninstalling before my phone went into soft brick lol
[G3 General] yourmate:
I don't think you have a problem then :D
[G3 General] rebelzrocks:
Aye sweet thanks mate:)

Sending my phone to lg tomorrow. Any good excuses to let LG believe me? Or do I just act like I don't know what happened maybe

Downloading software update and dropped phone

Left it overnight to charge and morning it just soft bricked? (Maybe not this)

lg flashtool 2014 error

Hi.

I have a little problem with the flash. Error code is "Failed previousLoad". I do the step what is in the guide.

I try everything to fix it. My system is Win10 64bit. Phone is d855 16g

thanks
[G3 General] tuneboy2005:
Nobody can help me?
[G3 General] kjwaugh:
Not to place too much on your plate but - you know you have an 855 - that's the first big step. The next step is to determine which region and provider are the correct ones. I/we can't help you there. Check the list for the matching firmware file (.kdz or .tot) and start flashing by following the appropriate instructions. The firmware might be zipped up, so after downloading you have to open the .zip file to find the actual firmware.
[G3 General] tuneboy2005:
I live in Belgium but the only one i think my fit is one of these 2:

Are these the same for the 32G version?

thanks
[G3 General] rebelzrocks:
What would be a good excuse to LG for them to believe me and replace my phone?

While downloading software update I dropped my phone?

Left it overnight to charge while downloading software update and morning it became like this?

My phone is in soft brick mode not totally bricked so yeah
[G3 General] YourWorstFears:
my computer doesn't recognize my phone when its on download mode. im trying to flash the kdz but i cant becuase of this.
[G3 General] SUNNY-Blue:
Have you tried plugging your IMEI at the end of this URL to get the link for your KDZ?

This can probably help you, too, [MENTION=707072]tuneboy2005[/MENTION]
[G3 General] yourmate:
Cheers, I did NOT have any trouble finding a matching ROM, the only problem was to find one which has the Vodafone boot animation and bloatware to get it back to stock. So I just gave it up and sent the phone off with an LG ROM.

Thanks anyway :)
[G3 General] tuneboy2005:

Hi all,

I see that on Firmware files all files are for 16gb version of the phone.

I have 32gb and I would like to go back to the KitKat and also to change the style of the notification panel and lock screen style but I dont know which file should I download (I live in Serbia that is basically southern part of Europe) and I am afraid if I try to download 16g version it will make my phone a brick.

Can anyone help me and tell me what should I do or where to find correct files?

Thx a lot

Hi all, I have a f400k. I flashed resurrection rom and it worked fine however after the first boot I got stuck in bootloop on the resurrection flash screen.

Since the f400k doesn't have a way to get to recovery with key presses I need to reflash the tot files however resurrection has changed my phone from a f400k to a f400. This means flashtool fails the model check. I have tried the 8974 generic dll but I still fail the model check. Can you help at all?

Edit: This modified f400k dll fixed my issue: drive.google.com/file/d/0B-H4G_jDRCJwRVhBcFdGVzFjTHc/edit?usp=sharing

[Guide] LG G3 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ &amp; TOT Method

Hello guys,

Which kdz I should use?

I bought my G3 Vodafone in Czech Republic and it's the 32 Gb variant.

By my emei, it says I should use the 20T, but can't I just flash 20W which is the latest? (Also, do I have to pay attention if it's 16 or 32, or with Kdz is all the same?)

I was with stock kit Kat rooted and I have TWRP installed, but flashing ROM'S are failing to me, so my goal was to have the latest stock firmware (rooted) with this LG tool.

Thanks in advance!

Sent from my G3
[G3 General] squall458:
I need major help here. I think I bricked my D852. It was on lollipop, rooted and with twrp. I tried the kdz method as it seemed easier and it didnt work. It would get to 10% and just stay there until it say upgrade error and would stop. So I tried the TOT method and it says Cannot Enter Download mode. I am using a 2.0 USB port with the original G3 cable. I cannot get back into TWRP as it just takes me to download mode when I enter twrp recovery. I was just trying to get back to stock rom.

Please tell me I can get my phone back :(

If your phone is in download mode it shouldn't be wanting to install the MTP drivers , that's only when trying to connect via USB to use as storage or I'm fastboot mode.

I just flashed ATT D850 TOT using a Windows 7 machine and it was a little finicky. Here's some more info in case any else has issues:

I plugged my phone into my computer, THEN shut it off and entered download mode. This allowed USB Composite and USB Serial drivers to install.

In Device Manager, look under Ports (COM & LPT), and find LGE Mobile USB Serial Port. Right click, go to properties, go to Port Settings, click Advanced, and change the port to 41.

If you get to a blue screen that says Factory Reset Status 3, success! My device required a battery pull at this point.
[G3 General] ouch1976:
Sorry for the noob questions, but I'm a little confused by the instructions. If there is no KDZ files for Verizon, then why do you have step 2.1 to download the Verizon drivers in the KDZ method. Wouldn't that imply that there Verizon users can use the KDZ method?
[G3 General] hyelton:
That is there just in case I get a hold of the kdz for Verizon. But right now its just tot file. Keep in mind this method for the g3 is the exact same for the G2 which the G2 has Verizon tot and kdz files.
