I found the code. See edit note. I'm trying to fix my phone and get LTE working properly. LTE just dies but 2G and 3G is fine.
[G3 General] topififu:
Hi,

I have a lg G3 d850 and live in France. Wich stock files should I download ? Cause I don't get "both images and dll files" and "tot file", I am not sure which files and folders I must choose. Thank you.
[G3 General] hyelton:
You would flash the D850 tot file which is in the D850 folder. You can only have kit Kat and to update you'll need an AT&T or an ATT prepaid sim to be able to update it passed kit Kat.
[G3 General] topififu:
Ok, thank you.

In the D850 folder, I see a folder called lollipop, 2 zip that after downloading, my computer say "cannot open" and a dll file, which of theses files should I download ?

Thanks
[G3 General] hyelton:
You would download 1 of the zip files and the dll file.. you extract the zip file and you get a tot file which you use in flashtool.

Please help me

I have d851 T-Mobile

I am on android kitkat

Build number :kvt49l

Software version:lgd851-v10z

I want to upgrad to mm but there is no update center!

And it didnt recognise by lg pc suit.

And it shows unknown device on lgup and lg support tool

What should I do?

I saw someone says I have to edit build prob..
[G3 General] hyelton:
You don't use update centre. You go to settings, about phone, and then update for ota updates.

If your device is booted into the OS with USB debugging on and using a USB 2.0 port it shouldn't say unknown as long as you have lgup properly installed.

You don't need to edit build prop if your running stock firmware.
[G3 General] gello924:
I would like to apologize in advance for possibly going over the same thing again, but here's my situation:

I have three G3's (AT&T D850) all with build number MRA58K, One with MM version 30k, the other two with 30p.

I just want to root these phones if only temporarily to debloat them and enable hotspot tethering. Could you PLEASE point me in the right direction to get this done? I would like to remain with MM, but if I have to go back to LP that's fine with me. Thanx.
[G3 General] hyelton:
As long as there's no antirollback on those versions you should be able to downgrade it. But I don't know as no ones really posted much about latest firmwares. Your defiantly not going to be able to root with MM.

If you do downgrade you can only flash KitKat and you'd have to OTA update back to LP only if you have an active AT&T sim.

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

Why quote the entire guide?

I'm not sure that you can even downgrade that far down. Along with you must use LGUP. You cannot use flash tools if the phone is using MM.

Along with model info failed error occurs when using USB 3.0 as you can only use USB 2.0

Thanks for your help .. But I dont know which files should I install for the d855 32gb .. There are many files in the link and which method tot or kdz
[G3 General] hyelton:
As long as it's an D855 firmware if you have a D855 it will work.
[G3 General] valamihir:
Yeah, it doesnt stick :( and yes, its half 9 and i need some rest too lol, ive been up all night trying to figure this stuff out without any luck :( technology aye, ha

Updated my F400S to Lollipop using this method! Worked perfect!

Thanks! :)
[G3 General] 1toadfacedfrump:
Anybody besides deathsquad please? I appreciate any help and thank you deathsquad for at least replying.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Just make sure your downloading the files using a download manager and make sure your phone is in download mode.
[G3 General] 1toadfacedfrump:
Thank you. I am using a download manager and when I try the kdz method it shows a tot file after download and extraction. I tried tot method as well but get dreaded red Fail error. Thank you again.
[G3 General] hyelton:
What file? Cause the files don't change after downloading lol
[G3 General] 1toadfacedfrump:
The firmware in the first section for my ATT D850, I thought it was a kdz file? That is what is confusing me too.
[G3 General] hyelton:
No, for the D850 there's only the TOT method no kdz
[G3 General] 1toadfacedfrump:
Well, in those immortal words, "There's your problem right there!!" I was afraid of that.

Do you know if anyone has gotten past the red download FAIL message in the LG flash tool please? On my phone I am at the Firmware Update screen with the message showing "Do not unplug..." I get that along with Error: [17: 9: 2] unable to change to download mode 00000064

Thank you for all your hard work.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Are you sure your phone in download mode?

This been 1,000s of people to use this method just fine.
[G3 General] 1toadfacedfrump:
I believe so - phone powered off, connect USB cable while holding volume key up.

Then I see the exact image I attached on my phone's screen (thanks to AndroidRootz.com, where I got the image). That is download mode, right?

I realize several 1000 have done it succesfully, but I'm in the minority for some reason as it will not work. But the good news is, my finger has not fallen off!! :D
[G3 General] hyelton:
Does the error you get say wrong model? Or just the download mode error ?
[G3 General] bill1971:
I am trying to go back to stock,from lollipop.i download the open Europe d85510a,the procees in lg flash tool 2014,stuck in 4%,why?

it works finally,i download other image kdz file.
[G3 General] 1toadfacedfrump:
Just the download error. I don't see anything about wrong model or anything. Luckily so far a battery pull will let me boot up my phone with no problem after this error. One person with the same problem says his or hers is stuck at that screen even with a battery pull. Is that possible? Thank you.

Help anyone!! my lg g3 stuck on the boot logo

Ive tried factory wiping by booting into recovery mode this brings up an error and does not wipe

Ive tried to flash firmware by both kdz and tot methods

The tot method brings up an error in parsing partition

I have attached a screenshot
[G3 General] Doctor DrOiiD:
I bought lg g3 d851..

The box isn't like the one in YouTube videos it doesn't have T-Mobile logo on it..just written d851

And the back cover doesn't have T-Mobile logo which should be there

But under the cover and under the battery is written d851 and when I power the phone there is T-Mobile logo and I tried hidden menu cod for T-Mobile model and worked

The firmware version is v10z! And it doesn't belong to any model

And baseband version is vs985 which belong to Verizon!

And when I connected to of in download mod it shows lge androidnet for vsw USB port which belong to Verizon! And lg flash tool and PC suit doesn't recognize my phone

And tried to install T-Mobile twrp it didn't work..but when I tried Verizon twrp it worked!

I backup my ROM via twrp and I want to flash android 6

What should I do
[G3 General] hyelton:
You've posted this in 2 places?

You should return the device. You where sold a device that's been tampered with and is most likely not a T-Mobile model.
[G3 General] Doctor DrOiiD:
Yes but sadly I tried to flash stock kitkat with tot method and now I hard bricked my device ..no boot or recovery or download mod

And when I connected to my PC show qhsusb_bulk..

I send it to repair but I have no hope

Can you please help me and can this problem solved by boxes?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yeah you now have a brick and should really return the device ... as it's clearly a Verizon model.
[G3 General] BarCouSeH:
LGUP doesn't detect devices in download mode neither when the device is booted into cyanogenmod
[G3 General] hyelton:
That's correct. You have to flash a stock based rom via twrp first. CM causes issues with LGUP
[G3 General] BarCouSeH:
Okay I have a couple of questions.

I have an international D855 so I downloaded the LGD855AT-V10e-EUR-16G.zipLGD855AT-V10e-EUR-16G.zip (which is LP, right?) but when I use the LG flash too it says "Model Information Check FAIL!". What am I doing wrong here?

Also, what is an example of a "stock based rom"?
[G3 General] hyelton:
No

V10x is KitKat

V20x LP

V30x MM

First off why not use LGUP?

Model info check failed can mean several things, are you using a USB 2.0 port? USB 3.0 will not work and is the device running MM 6.0? If you you need to use LGUP.
[G3 General] Doctor DrOiiD:
I bought it used and I can't return it !!

Is there any solution?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Depends where you bought it from. As if it was listed as T-Mobile and it's a Verizon phone I'm pretty sure you have some buyer protection there. Only possibility is if LG will warranty it as I doubt they will since it seems hardware has been tampered with.
[G3 General] BarCouSeH:
I was initially running 5.0 but then decided to flash cm14.1. What version am I running now?

And I don't use LGUP because it never detects my device when it's in download mode or when it's booted into cm.
[G3 General] hyelton:
You need to first flash a stock based rom. Being detected and flashing when CM is running causes nothing but issues.
[G3 General] hamza pal:
Could anyone please put to me the full name of the marshmallow "Kdz ana tot" files that I need for d855 32 gb .. Because I couldnt distinguish the files from the link :/

Thank u
[G3 General] hyelton:
Well the Marshmallow firmwares are under the Marshmallow 6.0 folder. And MM firmwares for the G3 are 30x numbered.
[G3 General] hamza pal:
On this folder there is just kdz files ..

My first question : could I use this file for the kdz method D85530B_Global.kdz ?

And my second question where are the tot files because I want try both methods

Thanks bro for helping
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes as long as you have a D855.

Your not going to get recent version tot files. If you need recent updated firmwares you must use KDZ files.
[G3 General] hamza pal:
in the kdz method it just stop at 4% and says "upgrade stopped due to an error " ,, I dont know the version that was running becouse the phone doosnt boot ... is there any suggestion ? or give me the files for tot method " any version no matter " to try it cuz I cant found them

thx for everything bro
[G3 General] hamza pal:
on tot method its be 6% then tells me

connection established

change to dl mode

cant change to download mode

I dont know where is the problem
[G3 General] hyelton:
You are using a USB 2.0 port correct? And with the tot method you have you phone placed in download mode right? Freshly booted into download mode? And where it says waiting on connection you unplugged and replugged the device correct?

And you've changed your com port to com41?
[G3 General] hamza pal:
I eddited the above comment and every question is yes yes yes
[G3 General] hyelton:
Cant change to download mode usually means your NOT freshly booted into download mode, using a USB 3.0 port, or a bad USB cable.
[G3 General] DJRobBlaze:
[MENTION=5327703]hamza pal[/MENTION]

I've had this happen as well.

Use a good heavy cable, and be sure you are in a 2.0 port.

what do you mean freshly booted into download mode ?? I pull up th battery and enter the downloading mode is that fresh ??? .. and I will try another cable .. so its not a problem in the phone it self ?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Fresh meaning each time you attempt to flash your device reboot it.

Cannot know with physically having the phone.. what's your reason for needing to flash it?

[G3 General] hyelton:
You need to be flashing D850 firmware. Flashing the D855 may have now bricked your device since you actually have a D850. Choose board DL on flashtool. And try flashing again.
[G3 General] hamza pal:
Ok .. I will try flashing lollipop d850 firmware .. Can you please tell me which files to download ? Becouse there are many on lollipop folder in d850
[G3 General] hyelton:
You dont flash Lollipop you flash v10 Kitkat. You can only obtain lollipop by OTA update with an AT&T sim in the phone.
[G3 General] hamza pal:
Then where is the kitkat firmware ? Where I can find it ? Please give me the full name of it .. And Im on the middle east I can't use at&t SIM ... This mean there is no updates :/ ?
[G3 General] hyelton:
It's in the folder where you clicked on the lollipop folder.. download and flash one of the v10 firmwares that's in the zip file. And yes that means no updates unless you put an AT&T sim.

Ok thanks bro I will update here what will happens so anybody face like my problem can see
[G3 General] Necromancer3:
I have an LG G3 D855 on V10m KitKat 4.4.2

Trying to use the kdz method with the Flash tool, it seems like the flash tool is not able to connect to the phone.

After extracting the software and starting the upgrade, about 4% in it asks to reconnect the phone.

The phone (in download mode) never changes to COMX and shows any signs of data streaming.

All the drivers are present in Device manager, so it seems the PC does recognize the phone.

I want to flash Lolipop (21a) on it and not MM.

any advice?
[G3 General] hyelton:
So you see An LG com port of some sort in device manager correct? And your using a USB 2.0 port? USB 3.0 will not work
[G3 General] Necromancer3:
Yes, its a USB 2.0

In device manager i see it several stuff related to it when its connected in download mode:

LGE Mobile USB Serial Port (COM4)

LGE Mobile USB Modem

LGE Android MTP Device

I don't understand why the flash tool doesn't see the phone. it goes through the first phase (Analyzing phone setting...) without a problem.
[G3 General] hyelton:
What about the screenshot? The screenshot you posted is showing it's flashing.
[G3 General] Necromancer3:
Nah, it gets to 4% and then this pops out

The phone never gets the green "COMX" or indicating any connection.

Flash tool log attached.

Do you know how to convert a .kdz file into a TWARP .zip flash-able file? maybe i can install TWARP and use it to flash the rom.
[G3 General] hyelton:
You can't just convert a kdz to a flashable firmware. KDZ files are factory directly from LG.

Why not try using LGUP?
[G3 General] Necromancer3:
LG UP doesn't recognize it either

I have another LG G3 D855 running Marshmellow, and the LG UP recognizes it just fine.

I tried various cables, front and back USB ports... nope.

Maybe its something to do with the old 4.4.2 Kitkat?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Does your phone boot into its OS? If so try LGUP with it on and USB debugging mode on

[MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION]

thanks for the guide, I used it before to unbrick my VS985.

I'm using the TOT method again to get a fresh start since i've been having some issues and was just curious how it wouldn't work when i have a MM rom installed? I just wiped everything, but then I read that, so now im installing CM 12 before i go through the LG flash tool process. Even with no OS I cant use LG flash tool? I trust your guide but im really just curious. Is it because of the bootstack? Could i just flash a 24b bootstack and no OS ?

What if i bricked my phone on a MM rom and couldnt get into TWRP?

Thanks
[G3 General] hyelton:
Why are you installing CM 12 before going back to stock??! You need to flash a stock based rom before flashing back to stock.. CM causes problems when going back to stock. You wouldn't flash just a bootstack. You'd flash the entire firmware with flashtools.
[G3 General] cory733:
Idk, I flashed cm12 in twrp first, still on 35b bootstack. Then flashed the 10bTOT in lg flash tool. Everything went through no problem.

My question was that since this is flashing an entire firmware, why does the ROM its on before using lg flash tool matter?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Because LG flashtool has issues recognising the phone is there or knowing what it's actual model is.

And the LGUP won't work at all
[G3 General] kent_geek:
I have a brand new LG G3 D850 that I'm getting ready to downgrade from MM to KK so I can root and bump. It's my first G3, so I'm being very careful to follow every instruction explicitly. I have one problem I haven't been able to solve: where can I download LGUP_8994_DLL? EDIT: sorry, should have mentioned it's an AT&T G3

Are there any other potential problem spots I should watch for? THANKS!
[G3 General] hyelton:
The DLL file is in the same folder as the tot file.. which is in the OP. Also why do you need a DLL file? You should be using LGUP when downgrading from MM, which only requires a tot file
[G3 General] docquinton:
Ok so I hate to ask a question thats probably answered elsewhere, but 500 pages?! LOL. I simply need to know how to downgrade AT&T LG G3 D850 from marshmallow to stock since there apparently is no rooting method for this phone/software version. And then from there flashing a ROM. Thanks and sorry in advance.
[G3 General] hyelton:
You would use this guide, and use LGUP.
