I close my wifi,data and location cause i had only 20% battery....i go out and then check my phone and i saw 18% so i go into settings-battery and saw the cell standby at 50% but this was normal cause when i put my phone out i didn't have signal at all....then i saw at gsam that wifi was running for 2 hours...the time from which i disable wifi and check the phone again...

I forgot to add that now that 20p kernel can't bumped im using 20i kernel...maybe its this??

I cant find the specific firmware for my device on your list. :confused:

my Software Version is: V20c-SEA-XX
[G3 General] hyelton:
So I'm going to assume you have a D855. Just flash a matching sea firearms that matches the size of your phone.
[G3 General] cheeze.keyk:
yes! its D855 and my device running stock lollipop rooted and I want to update it to the latest minor update by LG. And i cant unroot my device using the Full unroot method in the SuperSU. :confused: they suggest that i must flash the stock rom.

Edit: Already updated my device. :D
[G3 General] ishanbhatnagr96:
Hey folks.

So I just purchased a g3 yesterday and wanted to upgrade It to lollipop since its been out for a long time. And since my device is f400s I knew lp is out for it. But I can't seem to update it via ota or lg pc suite as it gives me some kind of error. I'm thinking of flashing kdz bit I suspect my g3 is a fake. Here is my software info. I'm worried that I'll mess up my new device.

Also, if anyone could take a look here, I'll be gratefull.

[G3 General] pikachukaki:
As an old nexus user i always flash the img when a new release, released....from the time a bought my G3 with Kitkat i just root and flash twrp and then custom lollipop...so i wanna ask

1)If i flash to 5.0 with kdz the phone will be better in terms of partitions,bootloaders etc etc??

2)If i flash 5.0 with kdz the my internal storage will be wiped??

3)If i can then root my rom with lg one click root by [MENTION=2200907]avicohh[/MENTION]
[G3 General] hyelton:
1. It reloads everything.

2. Yes. When going back to stock you should always assume that.

3. No clue this thread is 100%. Just read around Im sure you can quickly find that awnser
[G3 General] pikachukaki:
As for 1 do i need to update to stock lollipop??Is there any difference??

Also should i flash the 20H on this site or the 20P that is the latest kdz released!

And this is "D85520h_00.kdz" for the 32GB?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Not sure what you mean, but you could be on Jelly Bean and flash over to lollipop. It doesn't matter.
[G3 General] pikachukaki:
So i will not benefit from flashing kdz lollipop if im already running lollipop even if i flash it above the stock kitkat?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Your only benefit would be if you wanted to go back to complete stock.

It's not that you cannot find a way. It's finding the file. The method in the OP would work for it just don't have the file.
[G3 General] viking_vp3:
hi

thanks the starter of the thread and their great method

I use kdz method to flash 20p rom on my D855 device

the main page of program was okay and every phrase was in English. as i started the flash new windows open and flash started but every word of flash messages was consist of question mark " ? ", just word "usb" and "emergency" were in english, every character was question mark instead of english alphabet.

why ?????

Before i do the flash i watch many youtube videos who perform kdz method and i do the same as the first page of this thread so why the messages in flashing window was consist of question mark ??????
[G3 General] hyelton:
Just Ignore that it happens. It means nothing to the flashing process.
[G3 General] viking_vp3:
thanks for answer

i was afraid as all messages was like that but flash was fully complete and phone boots great.

I was terrified if it stuck in middle of flash how can i found out it is which part of process ?! because in videos the messages were told which part of flashing sequence is in run !

anyway thanks for comforting my mind ;)

[G3 General] redbeard1083:
first off, let me apologize if this has already been dealt with. i did try searching but couldn't find the answer. having said that.....

i have a d850. i flashed one of those newfangled aroma installer roms and accidentally installed a t-mobile variant on my at&t g3. right now the phone is largely unresponsive. i have no screen. i've tried the TOT method and the lgflashtool fails with "model information check fail."

am i out of luck on this one?

thank you for any/all guidance. i just got the thing a week ago :'(
[G3 General] hyelton:
Try and go back into recovery and the best way is to flash a D850 rom. If you cant then you`ll need to use a hex editor to change the tot to make it flash.
[G3 General] redbeard1083:
i have literally nothing. it won't boot and i can't get into recovery. the only time i can get the screen to even turn on is when i plug the phone in without a battery and it gives me the missing battery error display.

here's the full error message i get in the lgflashtool:

Using an iPhone 6 at the moment. Might get the G4 if I ever get the money for it just whenever prices get lower and it's been out for awhile

missing kdz file

I want to thank you for your guide - I used it for my G2 and am happily running kitkat. Now I want to use the same process on my G3 but when I click on the link, there are no kdz files for the verizon vs985 - only tot and dll files. Am I missing something or are the kdz files missing or somewhere else. I tried using the lg tool1.8, but norton keeps telling me it is not safe and deletes it when I download it, so I can only use the lg 2014 tool.

Thanks!

[G3 General] hyelton:
Your very welcome :)

It's tot method only. Disable antivirus. I'm sure I wouldn't be here if I was infecting people's computers lol. It's a false positive. Some antivirus software blocks the kdz method.

I managed to download the lg flash tool 1.8, installed it, and then tried to run it. It wants a registration key - where do I find that?

I also can't access Visual Voice Mail due to this too.

First of all we have no clue what carrier your talking about. You didn't even list a model number. Usually something like this should be posted in your own model/carrier thread. Not sure what you mean by apps showing up? This guide would have nothing to do with that. These are stock firmwares as if you just got the phone.

[G3 General] hodgestl:
Sir, here is my problem. I have a T-Mo D851 that was updated OTA to the new T-Mo 20b version of Lollipop. I want to go back to KK version 10r and your site has the correct files for me. However I have read of nightmare scenarios when trying to downgrade back from Lollipop to KitKat. I have already tried 2 others ways to downgrade but I am getting the LTE connection issue on KitKat and it is not usable. I have restored my TWRP backup to get back on Lollipop, but it has some of the known Lollipop WiFi issues. I have never done a KDZ and am very new to LG (this G3 is my first and I have only had it 3 weeks). Will your method clear my LTE connection issue and get me back to D85110r stock KitKat? Thanks in advance.
[G3 General] hyelton:
I haven't had any issues myself on the D851. But others have with the LTE issue. My method goes 100% complete back to stock. Only one way to find out and that is to try.
[G3 General] hodgestl:
So if I do it, I guess I will lose root and TWRP no matter what, right? If it doesn't work I would have to reroot and install TWRP to restore and get back to where I am right now?

Yes these are factory stock files. It will wipe and restore everything

With twrp did you flash a custom kitkat rom and flash a d851 kitkat modem?
[G3 General] hodgestl:
Yes I did. I flashed a complete KK 10r boot stack, then flashed a custom 10r ROM to try to solve this problem. No luck. The rom works fine, but I have constant data connection issues. On LP 20b, the data connection is great but WiFi calling has major problems, which is why T-Mo discontinued its rollout.

I would just like to get back to KK 10r with good data connection and good wifi calling. I can't seem to get there.

Hello All, I need some help.

Sorry if this has already been covered, but there are nearly 200 pages here, so I can't say that I didn't miss something somewhere.

I downloaded all the files for the KDZ method, but when I opened driver .zip it is a TOT file.

So what do I do now ? Should I give up on KDZ and start over by downloading all the files for the TOT method ?

Thanks !!
[G3 General] hyelton:
[Guide] LG G3 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ &amp; TOT Method

Remember there are tons of models , what's your model # ? it's helpful when posting questions or issues.

Also what driver.zip? There's no file called driver.zip.

If all there is but zip files for your model that means it's tot method only and yes you should follow the tot method.
[G3 General] SteveB2175:
Sorry 'bout that, you are correct.

I have a Verizon LG G3 model VS985

The file I'm referring to is step 1 - firmware files

That link takes me to a folder for my phone, and in the folder is a file VS98510B_03.zip. Extracting that file creates VS98510B_03.tot

So based on your reply I need to use the TOT method, correct ?

Also, if I use this process to roll back to Kit Kat will Verizon force me to upgrade to Lollipop again ? I refused the upgrade several times and finally Verizon would not let me deny it any longer.

Thanks for all your work !!
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes you have to use the tot method for that model. But no clue about OTA. These are stock firmwares so whatever happened before it'll prob happen again. Unless your root and disable it.

TOT Method fails, "Model Information Check Fail."

Hello,

I am also one of those poor lost souls (idiots) that tried to install TWRP on 5.01, got the led flashing lights and it will not go into recovery. I tried your method with my D850 and LG flash fails almost immediately. I get the error that it's the wrong model. I have the 32GB version of the D850. I knew nothing about "bumping" when I rooted my phone.

When the phone is up, the MTP driver loads into Windows. In download mode it cannot load the MTP driver. I saw one person that said just to disable the MTP device in device manager. I did this and it doesn't seem to make a difference when I try to restore the phone with the flash utility. I get the same error, "Model information check fail."

I basically just want to know if this has a chance of working? I'm in decent shape, rooted, phone working fine, but can't go into TWRP. Can't flash ROMs of course either.

Now for the things I am doing wrong. I use VMware Fusion running Windows on a MAC with Windows 7 x32. I've had no issues ever doing this but can try to find a Windows computer if it is worth continuing. I only have USB 3.0 ports but I have USB compatibility set at 2.0 in the VMware setting using the LG cable. The phone is being recognized fine with the one exception of the MTP.

Should I look for a Windows computer? Thanks very much for your help. :confused:
[G3 General] hyelton:
First off MTP device is not really needed what you need is the LG com port under ports in device manager to flash.

So are you getting model check info failed or wrong model?

If model check failed you need to use an actual PC. Using VMware is not recommended.
