my model is d855 the tot file is: LGD855AT-00-V10e-EUR-XX-JUL-08-2014-32G+0.tot..

It was really strange. After updating the smartphone, turn off and not turn on. I'm looking for a solution for hours. When I connect the LG to the USB it identifies it as the Qualcomm 9008. Perhaps there is still a solution.
[G3 General] hyelton:
That means hard brick. There's a solution somewhere in the general section which requires taking the phone apart and shorting some pin outs.

You buy the phone new correct? And not used/referb? It's very common buying used or referb not getting the actual model.
[G3 General] jadugur:
hi i have d855 it got stuck on lg logo when i start.

if i do factory hard reset it stuck on android logo green one.

and if i take into downloading mode it stuck on where its shows downloading mode text not take into firm update screen.

it was working fine some days ago but got stuck sometime and halt something after restart or some momen pause start working again. i do kdz flash still same issue then 2 days ago while using screen stuck and gone black but status bar was shows but screen goes squeez and dim. after restarting forcefuly its show 3 options which i have mentioned above. any help regarding this ? is this hardware problem or software ?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Have you tried a new battery? Battery issues are common to cause this on the G3
[G3 General] jadugur:
no, but mine battery time was perfect before. but i give a try if you say so.
[G3 General] buski:
if i have a network locked phone can i use this to reset it so i can put the unlock code?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes if you already have your unlock code. Usually you cannot unlock unless running a stock rom.
[G3 General] buski:
im on stock mm. when i put my sim it says network locked ....and canoot put the code
[G3 General] hyelton:
If your phone is 100% stock what error are you getting? If you've entered the code wrong too many times it will be permanently locked
[G3 General] buski:
i never tried to put a code. there is no error ,it just says network locked.

so u dont think going back to lp will change this?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Downgrading won't change that. What's your model ?
[G3 General] buski:
d852
[G3 General] hyelton:
Canadian? Does the carrier use something like app unlock like T-Mobile uses?
[G3 General] buski:
i have no idea what that is :eek:
[G3 General] hyelton:
T-Mobile devices can only be unlocked via an app/server and not by code.

I did read that someone with a D852 From rogers and flashed a stock firmware and was finally able to unlock.

Maybe try a factory reset?
[G3 General] buski:
i tried factory reset and also flashing lp kdz.
[G3 General] SOCOM-HERO:
I'm about to go though the method in post #2 and have downloaded everything. My question is - what is the best way to re-root the device after it boots back to stock? Stump root apk? From there I can install flashify or similar and flash TWRP? Can I go straight from the stock ROM to a 35B based rom for the VS985 like Fulmics 7.5 or are there steps in between?
[G3 General] 1Ceko:
I have same problem when i am in download mode lg up say model: unknown com port: [COM5, Fulmics].

I did download and flash that zoe-rom as you said it complete installation but it reboot system automatically and i have problem with reboot it gives (Error! Cause: boot certification verify). And i went to download mode again and it still show same thing it says COM Ports [COM5, Fulmics]

Edit: I also did flash LG-D85530B-Flashable.Boot-AutoV2.zip, LG-D85530B-Flashable.System.zip from this link

http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G3/D855/stock_partitions/30B But it same it still says fulmics

Can you help me please? I cannot use my phone.
[G3 General] HannesHi:
LG G3 stuck while using TOT Method

Hi guys,

my phone LG G3 Europe with 32gb wouldn't react to anything this morning after loading it. So I pulled the battery and then it was stuck in a loadingloop. It just showed the LG screen and wouldn't load for 20 Minutes.

Because I made a Backup (saved my pictures) a few days ago I went straight for the factory reset with the hardware buttons.

After 3 hours of the reset android animation (the android) I pulled the battery again.

I then tried the TOT Method like it is explained here. Sadly I'm getting the following error message:

I've tried it multiple times. Set the driver correctly. Restarted multiple times. If anyone needs them I could also post the xml logfiles of the Lg FlashTool.

Should I try to use the hard brick fix? It still boots into Donwload Mode correctly that's why I haven't tried it.

I'm on Windows 10 64 bit if that matters.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

Edit:

I also tried the LGUP method because I have a D855 that I bought in Germany.

Sadly it isn't able to read the ModelType

[IMG="LGUP"]https://picload.org/image/rpggrioa/unbenannt.png[/IMG]
[G3 General] hyelton:
If you didn't do anything to cause your phone to boot loop sounds like a battery problem
[G3 General] HannesHi:
Thank you for the quick reply.

I did change my battery 2 weeks ago. I had the former battery for 2 years. I also tried switching back to the old battery but that sadly doesn't seem to work either. They both are the exact some model so I thought it couldn't be because of them. It is the Polarcell 3100mAh for LG G3 so it should be fine.

I now tried doing the tot recovery with both batteries and I got the same error message as before.

I also tried the LGUP with both batteries and also got the same error message as before.

Should I buy another battery?
[G3 General] hyelton:
So was your running completely stock firmware before? No root etc? If you was stock before this is most certainly a hardware problem of some sort.
[G3 General] HannesHi:
Yes completely stock firmware. No root, no nothing. Okay. Then now at least I can look for hardware fixes if they are possible.

LG G3 T-Mobile Variant D851

does this will fix optimizing app issue? i am facing this issue it is happening again and again. after completing , it shows Tmobile logo and again optimizing apps. also i have flashed D85130D KDZ but no luck. anyone can help me?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Does what fix it? You meaning flashing back to stock? Have you tried performing a factory reset?
[G3 General] zeeshu:
Yes i did factory reset but no luck. I tried TOT method but it is showing error "model information check error". Have you any suggestion?
[G3 General] monnett:
i faced this problem . any suggest ,, urgent please:crying:
[G3 General] hyelton:
What is your model?? Is it a D850 or D851? If a D850 you shouldn't be flashing a D851 firmware...

Or if you have a D851 why was you running a D850 firmware?
[G3 General] monnett:
thanks 4 your reply

idk i bought this phone yesterday :crying: i see on my back of phone is d850 & aida64 too its show d850 at&t . but why i cant flash this rom. please help to solved this

EDIT : see the pict that show model LS990 . its mean sprint right?? :eek::eek::crying::crying: iam desperate here
[G3 General] hyelton:
Return it. Sprint model will barely work correctly on any carrier other than sprint.
[G3 General] redzieu:
Hi, I've got a problem here:

Can someone tell me what happened? Model D855.

Here's the log:

https://pastebin.com/1Ny6dKCZ
[G3 General] hyelton:
Device is in download mode right? And your using a USB 2.0 port? USB 3.0 will not work and can cause this issue.

Have you tried using LGUP? Especially if your running MM or newer you should be using LGUP.
[G3 General] redzieu:
Okay. It worked, thanks.

One last question. My WiFi and Bluetooth doesn't work on phone after I flashed this. How can I repair it? It keeps turning on all the time.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Did it do this before? In a normal case that's usually a sign of hardware failure.

Also is this the first time flashing? Where did you buy your phone? This can also be caused by flashing incorrect model firmware. Ex: you may not actually have a D855
[G3 General] redzieu:
I've flashed it before. Im 100% sure it's D855.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Okay just making sure, as it's been big lately of phone being sold not being the correct model. What was the reason you needed to flash? But yeah normally this only occurs if there's hardware issue
[G3 General] Rappadappa77:
Hello guys, hope everyone is doing fine?

Just to be sure, i have a LG G3 D850, i should follow the instructions from Post#2?

Just been having some problems lately with the phone and trying to return to stock from Fulmics rom just to see if it will do anything, phone keeps dropping the SIM, screen fades to black, doesn't pickup my Wifi sometimes, have to be wiping and installing fulmics from scratch like every other day.

Think it is time for a new phone, if this doesn't work.

Howard
[G3 General] hyelton:
Have you tried flashing a stock based rom via twrp first? Also it's best to do that anyway before flashing back to stock to avoid any issues with detection.

You can use either the tot method or LGUP to go back to stock.

But your issues seem more like hardware failure the wifi issue mostly.
[G3 General] Rappadappa77:
How do i do that, i just downloaded all the stuff i need, what would be the next step?

---------- Post added at 12:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 AM ----------

I believe Fulmics is a stock based ROM, if that is what you are refering to?
[G3 General] hyelton:
That's because Verizon is the TOT method.
[G3 General] hyelton:
There in the OP links.

TWRP

Thanks again, can you tell me :

1) how can i root this after flashing it

2) I think that this will erase my TWRP recovery, will i be able to install it (TWRP) after flashing this KDZ
[G3 General] hyelton:
Not sure on root or twrp for g3. This is for back to 100% stock. Yes it will remove twrp

LTE Problem, need O2 Stock.

Hi chaps,

Had to re-register, forgot my login details it's been so long :laugh::laugh::laugh:, so it's good to be back. :D

I've just bought a 16GB G3 D855 with the "EUR" Firmware, which means I don't get 4G on Tesco. Had the same problem with my G2 but used to just go to the *#........ setting to change it each time I booted. This time I'd like to do it "properly"

I've read through most of this thread and concluded that the O2 stock Firmware seems to be the best. It solves the LTE problem and has least bloatware.

A few questions:

Do I need to root my G3 before I can install new stock firmware?

Where can I get the 16GB UK O2 D855 Firmware? StorageCow has "UK 16G D85510A_00.kdz 1270532KB", is that the O2 Firmware, which someone suggested had been re-named?

Thanks.
[G3 General] tallman43:
No you do not need to be rooted this is a list of updates http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2791761 but sorry haven't a clue where to find the 02 version maybe someone else does.
[G3 General] NoDaddy:
Thanks Tallman43. Nice to know I don't need to root before installing new stock ROM.

Anyone else know where I can get the UK Stock O2 16GB ROM, or if the one on StorageCow is the O2 one I need?
[G3 General] aektzis100:
hi ,aquestion please ? if i'm rooted and have an update to lolipop via ota ,must first be unrooted and after that ,do the updte ?? .......thanks :)
[G3 General] bobsie41:
For the ota to be successful, you will need to rectify any changes that you have made to the system the unroot.
[G3 General] aektzis100:
thanks a lot ..
[G3 General] NoDaddy:
Well I took the plunge and changed the firmware to the UK 16GB version on StorageCow and ended up with an earlier version of the "EUR" Firmware (10A, I was on 10I), which will not help with the 4G problem (no LTE option). Still looking for the generic european version or the O2 version, to fix this problem.

Anyone know where I can get it from?
[G3 General] hyelton:
4G problem?
[G3 General] NoDaddy:
Yes, I have the no 4G option for Tesco Mobile, using the "EUR" Firmware.

I have now installed what was labelled as the O2 software in another thread. The software version is now V10a-GLOBAL-SI. This now gives me "GSM / WCDMA / LTE auto" as an option under preferred network mode. If I select this, go back to the main menu and then check the setting again, it has changed to "GSM / WCDMA". "GSM / WCDMA / LTE auto" is still there above it as an option but not selected. Why is it not staying on the setting I select? BTW I don't have a 4G signal in my area, is that causing it to switch back and will it switch to "........LTE auto when it can receive a 4G signal?

Thanks for the great Firmware flashing tool. Keep up the great work.

I've just driven to a 4G area (500m away). If I select the LTE option and go back to the main menu I get the "4G" symbol next to the signal strength meter. If I go back into the "Mobile Networks" it switches to the option without LTE and the data symbol changes to "H" (3G). Anyone know why it won't stick on 4G? Do I need my operator to send me some settings?
[G3 General] hyelton:
LTE is 4G.

CSE FLASH

Hi Guys,

I want to know what does the CSE flash delete. Does it delete the EFS folder from my D855?

Thanks.
[G3 General] hyelton:
It doesn't touch EFS.

Verizon LG G3 US version

Read the last few pages of this thread. Just want to clarify a few things.

1. I use the TOT method. Correct?

2. I have Windows XP SP3 on my laptop. Will this be an issue?

3. I'm a relative noob. How difficult is this?
[G3 General] hyelton:
1. Use tot method? That depends on your model.
[G3 General] defens23:
I'm assuming you're referring to the phone (model)?

It is an Verizon LG G3 (VS985). Current software on the phone is VS98511C. Just got it today.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yea :). The you'll use the tot method.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Well Fulmics is one of the ones that usually causes issues for people as it shows Fulmics as the firmware name to flashtools. A non customised stock based rom. Like a rom that's built on the D850 firmware.

When flashing back to stock you just flash the file you downloaded either using the tot flashtool or LGUP. I'd recommend using the tot flashtool first. Just be sure your device is in download mode and your using a USB 2.0 port. USB 3.0 won't work.
[G3 General] Rappadappa77:
Well i got it to return to KitKat stock :(, the problem i was having was with the drivers, so i went to LG and got the latest drivers and that worked for me perfectly, thank you for all your help, will see if that helped the phone.

Notice it didn't pick up the SIM card, like before, so i guess the phone is the problem.

---------- Post added at 02:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 AM ----------

Why do you have a Lollipop folder on the Stock files?
[G3 General] hyelton:
The lollipop folder has the lollipop system files. I keep meaning to delete it. Only way to get lollipop is to ota update with a att sim in the phone.

Have you tried using a different SIM card? Maybe blow out the sim slot? Worth a shot. Seems the G3 hasn't been ageing well :(.
[G3 General] Rappadappa77:
Oh ok, i see.

Well i'm from Jamaica so no chance of that, will see if the phone holds up with going back to stock, will try blowing out the SIM card tray, i stuffed it with paper and yes i tried other SIM card and it is the same thing.
[G3 General] Kitkatisthebest:
Hi, i may have got the wrong dll, but it says that the dll is wrong. I got mine from the 'D855 TOTs' folder.

Need Info

Do i need to download all the firmware from storagecow? or should i just select some of the firmware

my lg g3 is having a problem after changing its resolution and lots of apps cannot work properly or even shut down

im plannning to re stock the LG G3 and do the rooting except changing the resolution do anyone have any feedback and can give me additional info

Thanks!
[G3 General] hyelton:
Have you followed the guide in the OP?? All you need is download mode you don't need recovery mode to use the tools in this thread.
[G3 General] hyelton:
I don't understand fully what your asking? Why would you need to download every firmware? You would download the tot or kdz for your model and flash it using the tools in the OP.
[G3 General] vqez:
need help

i have downloaded the KDZ but still cannot run the flas, i stuck in firmware update page that won t run the process, is it because of the mobile driver? or im installing the wrong KDZ

how to know if im downloading the correct KDZ my LG G3 is from Korea any suggestion? really appreciate it thank you vicky
[G3 General] hyelton:
What do you mean cannot run flash? You really need to explain everything..

What kdz are you trying to flash?? What's your model? That is what matters. There's tons of different models and without knowing I can't tell you what to flash

Your using USB 2.0 port correct? You've tried another computer?
[G3 General] gwon:
Pretty sure the LGUP method just bricked my phone..

"Completed" fine in LGUP, black screen, won't turn on. Can't enter download mode. When I plug it into the PC it IS showing up in device manager as a "UNKNOWN USB DEVICE" so I guess it's 'ON' in some way?

Any ideas?

Edit: Going through the BoardDiag process, will see how that pans out :)

Edit2: That worked, un-bricked :D
[G3 General] hyelton:
Glad you got it figured out!

LGUP won't brick a device unless wrong firmware was flashed and or downgrade was attempted while not using the referb option.
[G3 General] gwon:
I'm sure that's right, but I'm still not sure what I got wrong.

I kept the KDZ and the TOT I used for the unbrick, and I'm still not sure it's the wrong one.

I have an unlocked UK D855, and I initially flashed (using refurb): "UK OPEN D80220H_00.kdz" from here: http://www.storagecow.eu/Xda/LG G3/Stock/D855/United Kingdom/
[G3 General] hyelton:
Look at your post, that explains it. You have a D855 LG G3 and you flashed a D802 firmware.. the D802 is the LG G2. Completely different device.
[G3 General] gwon:
Holy ****. It's in the wrong folder

Here: http://www.storagecow.eu/Xda/LG G3/Stock/D855/United Kingdom/ (Notice it's in the stock D855 folder)

and here: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/D855/United+Kingdom/

Damn. It. To. Hell. :D

At least I know what happened - you have a sharper eye than me ;)
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yeah I just noticed that being in there as well. Sorry about that I'll move it over. But always pay attention to file names :) at least your phone is back working!
[G3 General] gwon:
Thanks!

I really should know better, I've only been playing with phone flashing since the HTC Dream came out in 2008 :eek:

Couldn't find UNITED ARAB EMIRATES stock rom in the post

Hello

Please help me

FIRST: While trying to apply the first step I couldn't find the stock room appropriate for my g3. I think should be ???/UNITED ARAB EMIRATES v20c but I'm not sure which version exactly.:confused:

SECOND: Please tell me which stock rom should I download and where to find it. I hope I can recover the phone as it came the first time before I flash the current rom :(.

My phone is: lg g3 d855 16gb

The 7th and 8th number the IMEI are: 06

THIRD: What does (v 20 c) really signify when describing roms' names? And does the number and the letter (20c) really matter when downloading a rom? What could happen if I've downloaded a European rom?

Thanks in advance:angel:
[G3 General] hyelton:
Only thing to worry about is flashing the correct model firmware.

v10x - Kitkat

v20x - Lollipop

V30x - Marshmallow.

Need a Help.

Hello sir.

I have updated my phone to 47a and then 4ca. Now i want to downgrade it to 24b. Ive tried kdz of 24b but it does not seems to be working. Now ive tried lgflash tool 2014 and also uses the tot method with 10b. It is giving error of phoe model not found or something like that. Kindly help me. About it. Should i use lgup tool? Its Verizon Vs985.
[G3 General] zainchuu:
It might be silly question to ask but as i am new to flashing lg phones, (( Had a bad experience with lg previously so already bricked a phone su640 :P )) so please guys i just need some guidence :)

Can i flash Global or euroupe 30B or 30N kdz to any other d855 varient ? I mean there any many other d855 like Europe amd middle america etc ( specific regions ) and can i also flash any custom rom for d855 on all d855 varients ? Please guide me ??
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes as long as You have a D855. Guide is in the OP :)
[G3 General] ekoms420:
hey guys. i have an sprint ls990 32gb. downgraded with the tot method. grabbed the (LGLS990_20140704_LGFLASHv160.dll) and (LS990ZV4_04.51101.zip). it makes it to reboot at 94% and is stuck at reset mode 2 blue screen.followed the guide as it said to pull battery and reboot. it will not get past the blue screen. i can get into download mode and reflash the files but with same results. LGup software finds my phone unknown and wont allow me contiune.. what am i doing wrong????? im just trying to downgrade to root and install twrp then flash a rom.
[G3 General] hyelton:
It's Risky to downgrade the sprint model... did you choose board_dl on the tot/dll selection screen? That resolves the blue screen with a 2.
[G3 General] ekoms420:
I selected the the two files I posted above just like the guide. That's all.how do I find out the correct board dl?

Edit.....ok. on the screen to select the Dll and tot files I selected board dl. Now I'm with a aat-mini os 3.1 menu with some options. Selecting any of the available options does nothing except for the first one which is auto test. It says already has passed and asks to continue. If I reboot is just boots back to that menu. I can get into download mode and recovery mode but it will not boot as normal. LG flash tool fails after the phone reboots.

Edit 2..... I figured it out. You have to hold the power button as you make a selection. I selected normal boot and it's working now. Boot up into KitKat.

Hello

I Got G3 D855 32GB... V30B-Global

what is the LAST Stock Rom version ?

Any Download Link PleasE?
[G3 General] reaganzara:
Howdy,

I'm a G3 VS985 user, and have a lot of experience with ROMS and such. There isn't much out there about this method that I've found. I have a few questions.

I have software version VS9854CA on 6.0.1. There's a lot of talk about 10B, 12A, and 35B. Can I use the KDZ or TOT method to downgrade with my software build? I would assume I have something like 54CA as that's what the convention seems to be. I'm not sure if it's even possible for me to downgrade.

What is the relation of baseband to software? Do only certain stock versions have specific "bootstacks"?

Could you direct me to any other posts about this information?

I've been around a while, and have experience with devices all the way back to the Droid 2. This whole G3 things seems a bit over my head. :D
[G3 General] jlb1959.01:
I

I used TOT then the safe way of 10b, root then go from there.special DLL for going from mm down,road warrior and lasrrwolf have a whole forum with video of how to for vs985..
[G3 General] reaganzara:
Thanks, but I did more research. Apparently is is not possible to get anywhere from my MM 4CA build. TOT won't do it, and LGUP is too risky for me at this point. Might just sell and go for a more root-friendly phone model.

Is it at all possible to root with my setup? I've never seen a G3 VS985 on MM with 4CA going anywhere.
