Thanks for the reply, no it's not a fake model. It's the D855 International model I guess, I haven't tried other KDZ versions but I tried the process with the GLOBAL_KDZ file. And yes I chose the option to "Refurbish", cause the upgrade option wasn't even letting me get past the initial bootloop.

---------- Post added at 07:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 AM ----------

Thanks for the help guys! I later figured out I had a nuked battery, I tried booting up the phone with someone else's D855 battery in my hostel, and it worked perfectly without any bootloop allowing me to setup and do all I wanted to do.

Means there was never anything wrong with my Lollipop ROM in the first place.

So I'm going to have to get a new battery today. Thank you so much guys! ?
[G3 General] vildafranek:
Hi guys, just one question - i'm running on Fulmics 3.7., xceed kernel, Android 6.0 and I need to flash back to Stock MM D855 V3Ob. The best option is in the Post #3, by using the LGUP, right, or is it ok to use LG Flash Tool? thanks!
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes you would use LGUP. But first you may want to flash a stock based non customized rom in twrp before going back to stock. Fulmics causes issues.
[G3 General] ivanthomas:
Omg thank you so much ....it worked for me

OMG it worked ...THANK YOU SO MUCH....I first had no hope in unbricking..but this post jus saved my ass. <3​
[G3 General] vildafranek:
Such as? Could you tell me some, please? :) thank you!
[G3 General] hyelton:
Just anyone that matches your model. There's no specific one.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Your welcome :). Glad it worked for you!
[G3 General] vildafranek:
So these two in the spoilers would be fine?

[G3 General] vildafranek:
Thank you! I've already flashed the stock based rom and now I want to flash the stock rom with LGUP and I am a bit confused about which of the options should I choose. 1) To upgrade? 2) To do a full wipe and install MM? 3) To go back to lp from mm? - Any of it isnt my case. I want to go from 6.0 custom rom to 6.0 stock :) thank you for your help!

struck with download mode

hello everyone,

i am in trouble now....... i tried to flash stock LP in my D855 with LG Flash tool but it got struck in between.... now my phone always goes to download mode when i try to switch on...i was in FULMICS rom when i tried this.........after that i tried the #3 post method but it shows fulmics unknown....pls can you tell me how bring my phone back to life...
[G3 General] ksnewland:
I successfully used TOT method back to stock on VS985 LG G3; the problem is, now I don't seem to be able to get into "Download" mode; holding Volume Up + plugging in USB now does nothing.

Any advice? It was working fine before successfully TOT method back to stock.

I wanted to try going back to stock once more, because I am having trouble rooting; LG one click root won't detect my phone, despite being in USB debugging, switching between MTP and PTP, my desktop has correct drivers and can see phone, etc.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Are you running MM 6.0? You cannot root that. Also you must now use LGUP if your on MM
[G3 General] HaegoN:
What kdz file should i download to go back to stock from MM?

my version of MM is V30d and im from portugal
[G3 General] ksnewland:
No, I TOT back to stock 4.x.x

I have now upgraded to 5.0 but get stuck at 75% because it says "Serial port not found! please insert the phone manually into Download Mode". I know how to enter download mode as I just did it several times for TOT back to stock, but now when I hold volume up and plug in the phone, it just goes to LG theme --> battery % screen

edit: changed USB ports, still didnt work. changed again, still didn't work. changed again to one that previously failed, then it randomly decided to go into download mode. So weird.

Thanks for the fast response. I think I'm good.
[G3 General] eso259:
you missed my question !
[G3 General] hyelton:
I left this out, but you cannot place the phone into download mode when using a USB 3.0 port so that may had been what it was plugged into. USB 2.0 only works.
[G3 General] ksnewland:
Thanks. All of my ports were 3.0 but I did manage to get it to work in a 2.0 USB external extender.

My phone is, unfortunately, still having a lot of issues, despite reverting fully back to stock several times and trying everything from stock to custom ROMs.

edit: bought a second LG G3 running marshmallow, managed to KDZ from 43A to 35B, now going 35B --> 10B. Phone correctly reads SD cards, appears to be an issue with my old phone hardware after a couple years of abuse.
[G3 General] AnotherOne9:
Thank you for this excellent guide.

One issue that took me a while to resolve is if the update does not start and I unplugged my phone then plugged it in again it would time out. I had to do this VERY quickly to get things to run.

Also I used a different DLL file recommend in another post and it worked OK. They were different file sizes. Just curious if anyone knows what this DLL file does?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Dll files are used for flash tool to detect the phone model etc.
[G3 General] AnotherOne9:
So.... if I wanted to install a tot file for say a D852G on my VS985 I could do so if I used a dll for a VS985 instead of the provided one for a D852????
[G3 General] hyelton:
No, well you can but you would in return get a paperweight. you cannot flash other model firmwares.

all you need is G3_CODEFIRE.dll

What do you mean doesn't work? What's the error? You were in download mode correct? Your using a USB 2.0 port correct? USB 3.0 will not work.

Also please don't quote the entire OP.. It makes the thread cluttered.
[G3 General] skrippi:
Is the phone also unrooted after this procedure?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes as its factory stock.
[G3 General] velosa:
hi, you know where I can download the tot file 30b to 16g d855?
[G3 General] hyelton:
You would need to use a kdz. Tot files are not popular to find.
[G3 General] velosa:
I'm screwed ... needed tot 30b to extract and try to take my d855 a hard brick. was the firmware that was installed before the hard brick.but thanks anyway for answering
[G3 General] hyelton:
Why would you want to hard brick? Unless I'm reading that wrong. There's plenty of 30b kdzs.. Also if I read wrong and your phone is already hard bricked you cannot fix a hard brick.
[G3 General] velosa:
I made me misunderstand. I'm already a hard brick.you think that this method can not unbrick the phone? http://xdaforums.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-fix-hard-brick-recovery-guide-t3132359
[G3 General] hyelton:
If your phone shows no power or life then that's the ONLY other option to unbrick. You won't know til you try it.
[G3 General] Ziyab:
Hi,

guys need help here! I know that it's not the right thread to post such a question, but really nobody is helping me I this regard, please help on this issue!

I have VS985, I was on cloudy g3 2.5 then I clean flashed N&N 7.1 via TWRP 3.0.0.0, after booting up I got encryption unsuccessful, no matter what I have done but I keep getting this error. Even I tried to flash fulmics 5.1 and 6.0 but same issue!

I tried to flash 35b n 24b bootstack before and after flashing rom but nothing helped me...

Please let me know why I'm keep getting this encryption unsuccessful message, what m I missing...!

By the way, I flashed resurrection remix mm and I got no error, it flashed successfully...
[G3 General] 3miliokas:
Yes, I'm using USB 2.0 port. My problem (or error) is that I tried to downgrade my phone Android version from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4 but kdz method just do a factory reset ;-;
[G3 General] hyelton:
And what kdz are you flashing? And your choose CSE flash correct? And tried Referbish option in LGUP correct?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Sorry no clue on custom Roms other than have you tried going back to stock first.
[G3 General] 3miliokas:
I used CSE flash. If I'm right I flashed D72220d_00.kdz In LG Flash Tool 2014 there's no "Referbish":rolleyes: And next time please upload files in mediafire or mega, cuz oceanhost says "This direct link will be available for your IP next 6 hours" and shows me the link there I can upload files ;-;
[G3 General] hyelton:
I don't think your understanding...When you use LGUP there's a Referbish option...

Also these files are to large for mediafire and mega is just annoying. I don't think you understand these are hosted on my server that I pay for, so I have no reason to need to upload them somewhere else. I don't understand your problem? It's saying the link will be available for you to download for 6 hours... Not that the file is only available for 6 hours.

Anyway why not try using lgup? What was the reason for needing to flash back to stock.
[G3 General] Ziyab:
Thanks for your reply, you mean I have to flash back to stock Rom then start all over again....!
[G3 General] thesoccerguy13:
STILL can't get my phone to work...

Really need help getting this up and running. Here's my situation:

I had CloudyG3 2.5 installed on my vs985 and wanted to remove it and upgrade to MM or flash Cyanogenmod 13. I made a backup in TWRP. I followed this guide to get back to stock (24B firmware, as provided in the OP). After the first try, my phone has gone into a bootloop, only allowing me to access DL mode and stock recovery. The phone isn't listed under devices in adb, so I can't flash stock recovery to restore even if I wanted to. My computer DOES recognize the phone on all the usual ports, though. It also sees an MTP device which it does not recognize.

Here is what I have tried so far, along with the results:

Flash VS98524B_01 firmware .kdz via flashtool 2014 - no dice. Doesn't get very far

Flash VS98524B_01 firmware .tot via flashtool 1.8.1.1023 with LGVS985_20140620_LGFLSHv160.dll file - Most of the time "cannot change to download mode," but when it gets past that, it hangs at "MODEM."

Flash VS98510B_03 firmware .tot via flashtool 1.8.1.1023 with LGVS985_20140620_LGFLSHv160.dll file - same result as with 24B.

Flash VS98510B_03 firmware .tot via flashtool 1.8.1.1023 with LGUP .dll file - blank model number and unable to identify device.

I have tried these on my windows 10 machine and inside a Win7 virtual box and got the same results.

Other things I have seen and tried:

In device manager, change PORT41 to the modem component of the phone and repeat above processes - never gotten past "Can't change to download mode, BUT had an interesting thing happen. First, it was really hard to get the port switched over. Device manager and the modem dialogue box both froze whenever I clicked properties. I did find a workaround for this, and when I run flashtool now, the SWV and SWOV list "LGD855AT -00-V20P-GLOBAL-COM-MAY." Looks like something from a different device is involved here, but I don't know what the SWV and SWOV refer to.

Pushing/flashing with minimal ADB and Fastboot - again, device is not listed under "abd devices," so haven't gotten very far.

Installing/uninstalling/reinstalling drivers - a hundred times. I have the latest VZ drivers (2.20). Still nothing.

Switching USB ports/cables - gone through the whole rigamaroll. Still nothing new.

LG PC Suite - never recognizes my device is even there.

Things I haven't tried:

Switching computers - I just don't have another one available to me right now. Let's find a workaround for now.

Hammer - so close to taking advantage of my insurance, but I'd rather try to fix it first.

So... Who's got me here? I have done my due diligence (as I always do) and combed the internet for hours, and I have gotten nowhere. This is my primary phone, so i really could use some help ASAP. If you need further info, just ask me.
[G3 General] pmarotos:
i've tried the first mode

and i the lg update cannot recognize the device what should i do?

Thanks
[G3 General] hyelton:
What first mode? Also your putting phone into download mode correct? And using a USB 2.0 port? And checking to make sure the com port shows up under device manager?
[G3 General] pmarotos:
Please help me!

I've installed the lg drivers 4.1.1

And installed the lg flash tool 1.8

Downloaded the dll and the tot.

When i start flashtool i go to manually put dll and tot in place, click the yellow arrow, unplug and plug the device and i get stuck in waiting for connection. What can i do?

Many thanks
[G3 General] hyelton:
You've changed the LG com port to com41 in device manager correct? And using a USB 2.0 port? USB 3.0 won't work. And phone in download mode?
[G3 General] pmarotos:
yes, i changed the port to 41 and i've tried the usb 2.0 port and phone in download mode.

I will try now on other laptop.

I will post in a minute the result.:good:

---------- Post added at 01:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 AM ----------

i managed it with the other pc.

the trouble was that i choose global at start on lg flashtool and should had choose korea.

Many thanks
[G3 General] hyelton:
Glad it finally worked for you, your welcome! :)
[G3 General] 3miliokas:
The reason was : I hate Android 5.0.2, and it s*cks a lot. I don't try LGUP, because you said in Post 3# Notes: This method is REQUIRED for flashing MM KDZ files downgrade from MM or upgrade to MM you must use this new method. Old KDZ method you cannot downgrade from MM, when I have got Lollipop not MM. And my phone version isn't D885.
[G3 General] hyelton:
LGUP flashes any lg android model and software. It flashes at least Jelly Bean.
[G3 General] 3miliokas:
Oh, thx for info :)
[G3 General] 3miliokas:

[G3 General] bender_007:

[G3 General] bender_007:
You have to modify it for specified model

Right click reg file - edit.
[G3 General] 3miliokas:
What should I change in .reg file?
[G3 General] thesoccerguy13:
I'm at the same step, just on a VS985. Modified .reg file with VS 985 in place of previous model. No dice. Removed other LGUP8994.dll file from folder 8994. Still no dice. In the LGUP application under COM Ports, it states [COM41, ] and that's it. Does that make any difference here?
[G3 General] hyelton:
You shouldn't have to do that step for the VS985. That model is included with the LGUP installer and files with this guide.
[G3 General] thesoccerguy13:
Just tried the LGUP and .dll from Post #3 and followed the guide. Still having the same problem :-/ Any workaround for this issue?

Thanks for all the help you give everyone, by the way. Even if you can't fix my issue, I know the community appreciates you.
[G3 General] hyelton:
What issue? Where it says unknown? Phone in download mode? Also does your phone boot into android at all? And where you running a custom rom before? Also was you running MM
[G3 General] thesoccerguy13:
Yes, the unknown issue. I can only boot into DL and recovery modes - no full boot. I was running CloudyG3 and tried to revert back to stick via LGFlashTool and a .tot file and soft bricked it. I have never had MM on this device.
[G3 General] hyelton:
If you where not running Mm then you don't have to use LGUP. What error did you get with flash tools ? If using kdz did you make sure you chose CSE Flash? And you used a USB 2.0 port?
[G3 General] thesoccerguy13:
To summarize my previous post:

Here is what I have tried so far, along with the results:

Flash VS98524B_01 firmware .kdz via flashtool 2014 - no dice. Doesn't get very far.

Flash VS98524B_01 firmware .tot via flashtool 1.8.1.1023 with LGVS985_20140620_LGFLSHv160.dll file - Most of the time "cannot change to download mode," but when it gets past that, it hangs at "MODEM."

Flash VS98510B_03 firmware .tot via flashtool 1.8.1.1023 with LGVS985_20140620_LGFLSHv160.dll file - same result as with 24B.

Flash VS98510B_03 firmware .tot via flashtool 1.8.1.1023 with LGUP .dll file - blank model number and unable to identify device.

I have tried these on my windows 10 machine and inside a Win7 virtual box and got the same results.

Other things I have seen and tried:

Switching USB ports/cables, CSE/Normal flashes on each method, flash with adb/fastboot, uninstalling/reinstalling drivers, LG PC Suite. All to no avail.

Interesting things: my computer recognizes my phone as a USB device and a modem, like normal, but it also sometimes sees it as an MTP device, which it says is unknown.

During the Flash tool process, it also lists the SWV and SWOV as "LGD855AT -00-V20P-GLOBAL-COM-MAY," but I am not sure what that refers to.
[G3 General] bender_007:
Could you elaborate how exactly you bricked it?
[G3 General] thesoccerguy13:
Trying to go back to stock from CloudyG3 using the .tot method in the original post, though I have had a terrible time getting it off my phone. It wouldn't let me wipe and flash with TWRP, so I gave this a try. When I'm in download mode and flashing with Flash tool, it still says CloudyG3 2.5 below "VUSER B..." when Flash tool gets past 6%.
[G3 General] bender_007:
Did you try lg flash tool 2014?
[G3 General] thesoccerguy13:
Yep.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Okay but are you using a USB 2.0 port though?? That matters. As some of the errors your getting also happen when using USB 3.0 which will NOT work when flashing back to stock.

Also using a virtual machine does work wel. but your going have a bigger chance of it working on a non virtual machine as it will not work correctly with virtual machines.

MTP device unknown is completely normal it's supposed to be there. The only thing you need to look for is just the com device/port

And In flash tools you tried choose board_dl?
[G3 General] 3miliokas:
What should I change in .reg FILE??????????????????????????????
[G3 General] bender_007:
Calm down with the "???", please.

First you have to figure out what model do you have, then just edit the reg file and add the model informations to it.
[G3 General] 3miliokas:
My model is D722 and when I edited .reg file LGUP still says unknow model.

Hey so I recently tried installing this new Lollipop ROM on my G3, but I failed to notice that the ROM is for the international D855. I have Verizon's VS985.

When I use the FlashTool it's giving me a "Download FAIL!!" and gives me this text in the box below:

PID: PT03S140626002056

IMEI: 352452060520738

Model: D855

DLL: VS985

BIN: VS98510B_03.TOT

SWV: VS98511C_00

SWOV: VS98511C_00

Device Model is different!

Check Phone or DLL!

00000000

Factory Model Check ERROR!!

Notice that it lists the model as D855 even though I have the VS985.

On my phone, in the box under the percentage bar on the Firmware Update screen, it reads:

VUSER S0.0 AS0.0 B100 UHS

S U LG-D855 05.0 Hrev_10

D85520a

Am I completely screwed or does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

2.if i'll flash to the stock firmware from cloudyg3 rom according to this guide, does it delete bump and bring back the stock recovery too ?

sorry for being pretty poor! =)
[G3 General] kubekneo:
still the same soft. version

Hi, your guide is really good, but i have got one problem.

I had German Vodafone soft on my LG G3 (ver. V10L-262-02), I'm from Poland and today we've just received new Android 5.0 so i decided to swap my soft for polish version and then update it. I used your method, looks good, but i still have got the same - "ver. V10L-262-02", which means that i still have got german version ;/ And after flashing kdz files downloaded for Poland's edition, i still have got **** from Vodafone;/;/

Yes, i had downloaded polish version of soft.

No, my phone is not rooted.

Can You help me? what am i doing wrong?
[G3 General] jackrip5:
That's absolutely normal. You have a German device. The updates are distributed by imei number not by country were it's used. In LGs database your phone is registered as Vodafone.
[G3 General] kubekneo:
So only one way to get Lollipop is waiting for update for Vodafone Germany? And thing that I have polish kdz is doesn't matter? Sorry that I ask but I am quite noob :)
[G3 General] jackrip5:
The OTA update you will receive is the one from Germany as soon its officially released. I can't say what happens to your actual lolipop once it updates.
[G3 General] jdgesmlls:
Are you following the TOT back to stock method in the OP? If you have a Verizon variant, the method is a bit different but is explained in the OP.

Anyway Yes it should, I do know on the G2 you didnt even have to root and it would say modified its a bug if it stays, but That might had been fixed on the G3
