[G3 General] jlb1959.01:
again,there is a forum,and yes it works from where your at, o did it,there's a special DLL to go from where you are to 10b,can't do it Via kdz.thereabonly one special DLL file,I will look for the forum and the video from laserwolf,actually laserwolf did it because I asked just like you and he made 2 videos,from where you are to 10b,then 10b kdz,then kdz to 48a. look up road warriors files for vs985, I will look again.I just did it as I broke my screen and vzw sent a new phone exactly like yours,I was worried but I watched the video and did it step by step side by side with the video.
[G3 General] jlb1959.01:
give this a try,this is from laserwolfs utube video,in fact in that forum he explains how it was my phone.best I can do,not good with copying things,but both those men work specificly with vs985..
[G3 General] butthurtlocker:
Hey i have a d852 and im trying this, using lg up method. But it asks me for tot file and for the d852, the files are kdz's. so i cant select kdz when clicking file path since its set for tots only. wat did u do?

EDIT- K so figured that part out. But phone wont flash. gets to 9 percent and says binary file failed.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Did you download the kdz using a download manager? Sounds like a bad file download.

You are using a USB 2.0 port correct?
[G3 General] butthurtlocker:
Yeah i think its actually a driver or connection issue. I later tried LG UP and at the point where it was trying to detect my device it said failed. My phone never connected to a com (no big green COM letters ever appeared on my phone). IN device manager it all looks ok, so i cant figure out whats going wrong. Tried different ports, different cords but something always fails. Guess i have an unflashable phone, at least on this computer!
[G3 General] hyelton:
But are you for sure using a USB 2.0 port? USB 3.0 won't work at all.
[G3 General] butthurtlocker:
I've tried 2 diff cords on all 3 of my computers ports. I dont know which is 2.0 or 3.0 but i've tried all of them. I've flashed other G3's on this same computer before with great success, so i think it might be this phones usb port? just bought it used the other day. LG UP detects my device when first plugged in, i can transfer files via MTP etc yet when i get into download mode, its like my phone ghosts and doesn't wanna be detected. But in device manager its all good, LGE modem pops up. Even tried the com port change in the guide. I think I just got unlucky?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Some computers only have USB 3.0. If it's newer. But yes USB port can matter.

Try using lgup again but each time you try each time reboot into download mode freshly each attempt.

The drivers for MTP are completely different than those of download mode. You could also try getting the latest drivers from LGs website. Try and start the flash with LGUP with the phone booted into the Os with USB debug on.
[G3 General] butthurtlocker:
So, i know 2 of 3 ports are 2.0. And the port i generally use for rooting/flashing is my go to, and works for every phone, yet not this one. I've tried what you said regarding LG UP- start it plugged in with phone on, USB debug, unknown sources etc. It detects it. I select upgrade, then choose the KDZ, then close LG UP, then open it and the option has changed to refurbish, with my KDZ loaded in file path, as per instructions. I hit start. My phone reboots to download and right there is where issue starts. On the G3, theres no COM port highlighted, and instantly (at 9%) it just says something about not detected or failed (i cant remember,as im at school atm) So you're saying at this point, disconnect , pull battery and reconnect back in download mode?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes. Each time you attempt to flash you need to reboot the phone.

Also next time try a different kdz
[G3 General] butthurtlocker:
Oh so every time i restart LG up, i always pull battery and re attempt in a new download mode. And sure ill try a new KDZ, but cant that realy be the problem, if the computer isnt even getting to the point of detecting my device?
[G3 General] hyelton:
How is it failing at 9% if it can't detect the device? You can't even select a tot or kdz without it first detecting the device.
[G3 General] butthurtlocker:
I guess i never thought about that, great point! Ok will try new KDZ. Quick question- do you know if flashing another carrier kdz will mess my phone up? i havent but basically i have a Bell d852, on v30h. I am wanting to root via king root and root is unavailable for v30h via king root, so my plan was to roll it back to v30b so i can root, because i know king root plays nice with 30b.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Rule is only stick to same model. But Canadian model can't say for sure. Just make sure you download the kdz using a download manager. Currently I'm doing a server move so it's a chance if you don't use a download manager the file can be corrupt.
[G3 General] butthurtlocker:
Ok fair enough thanks for all the info and help. My last question- any idea where I could find a d852 bell MM KDZ? On storage cow, theres only old ones! Also i dont want the newest one (30H) as thats what im on now. If not though all good and thanks again
[G3 General] hyelton:
Theres a Bell 30b kdz on StorageCow.
[G3 General] Bruce Fraser:
Re: What did I do? Exactly what is in the instructions; nothing more, nothing less.

I'm late replying, and Hyleton is already giving you lots of help. He's way more knowledgeable about this then me, so I'll step back out of the conversation.
[G3 General] butthurtlocker:
Still didn't work. But then I headed over to my parents used their pc and it worked right away. Thanks for all your help and excellent thread
[G3 General] ivanox1972:
Hi, I need some help. I am pretty experienced with samsung, but brothers g3 is with big problem and he asks me for help.

He, occasionally, have screen go black episodes- it goes from normal screen to black on few seconds through some blinking. And get back to normal. Screen is perfect itself. It can be of course hardware problem, but first I can try software fix.

He is now on eur ancient V10- kit kat. Can I directly flash v30. kdz or need to go through android 5. No ota is appeared, I must flash kdz.

I will learn procedure, no problem

thanks
[G3 General] hyelton:
If he is running stock firmware and he is running stock without root and has performed a factory reset and the issue is still occuring it's most likely a hardware problem.
[G3 General] ArcticPat:
Hey [MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION], I followed the steps using the ToT method, but I'm having an issue. So I have the Verizon LG G3, I followed all the steps, and at the end I'm reaching that blue screen that has a giant red 2 and "factory reset status". I pulled the battery and when the phone boots up, it loads the LG boot screen then pops up with this blue screen again. I tried to factory reset by powering off my device, holding the volume down and power button, navigate to factory reset, and hit yes, and then after I boot up the phone again it goes right back to the blue screen with the red 2. Everytime I boot the phone up it does the LG logo and then something that says MiniOS and then the blue screen.

I remember something like this last year when I rooted my phone, I had to downgrade to 35b and then root, but I don't remember how I got past this blue screen. I think I had to use the ToT method because the kdz didn't work. I'm trying to set my phone back to stock because Verizon sent me a replacement and I wanted to get rid of CM13 on the one I'm sending back lol

Random: I also notice you live in Wilmington? I also live in Wilmington! but in Delaware lol

Edit: I resolved my issue. I remembered a step where you had to unplug and replug your phone after LG FlashTool fails the first time. I reached the blue screen with the red solid 3 and then unplugged my G3, pulled the battery out and it booted like a charm.﻿ But still curious if we live in the same Wilmington lol
[G3 General] hyelton:
Wilmington, NC :D

Opps just now seen your edit when I went to reply. Glad you figured it out :) usually the blue screen #2 occurs if you don't choose board_dl when using the TOT method.
[G3 General] ArcticPat:
I'm not sure at what step I was supposed to choose board_dl. I happened to remember from downgrading my phone to root it last year that when I reached the fail state on LG FlashTool I have to unplug and replug then it'll run again and pass instead of fail. Then battery pull on the blue screen with the red 3 and you're good to go.

Yeah NC is what I expected lol happens everytime I find someone from Wilmington. Sometimes they're from Ohio haha
[G3 General] tenrag2:
When i run the lg flash tool it goes to about 86% and then says "Fail to get Mini Os status" then "Fail!!! factory_bootcomplete()" Does anyone know what to do, i have searched high and low and can find no answer to my problem. any help would be appreciated.
[G3 General] hyelton:
That's normal. Anything after 80% flashing is done. The reset is just rebooting and errors that it can no longer detect the phone since it rebooted.

What's shows on your phone? Does it not boot up?
[G3 General] tenrag2:
It doesn't boot past the lg logo, it just keeps rebooting at the logo
[G3 General] hyelton:
Try reflashing by choosing board_dl on the tot/dll selection screen.

What was the reason you where flashing back to stock?

What's the model? What file did you flash?
[G3 General] tenrag2:
Ok so the phone wouldn't turn on and when it did it just kept rebooting to the lg logo, it's an LG G3 D850 32gb, I flashed the LGD850_20140613_LGFLASHv160.DLL and LGD850AT-01-V10d-310-410-JUN-19-2014+0.tot files. I already chose the board_DLL option, same result.
[G3 General] hyelton:
So it was just boot looping before doing this? If so could be a hardware issue. OR battery issue which is common.
[G3 General] tenrag2:
I'm wondering if it is a battery issue because I get a battery symbol with a loading wheel inside when I insert the battery before it starts the boot loop sequence. However I changed the battery and the samething happens, the phone won't even show the battery as charging, once the battery is in it just boot loops.
[G3 General] SmokinTyre:
Hi,

I was on Resurection Remix and soft bricked trying to switch on Fulmics.

So i want to go back to stock.

I was planning to do the LGUp method but i'm not shure witch option to chose from these :

- UPGRADE TO MM from LP

- FULL WIPE AND INSTALL MM

- GO BACK TO LP FROM MM

I'm thinking the second is the good one but I'm not shure.

Any hint ?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Full wipe. Never upgrade you always want to fully wipe the device.
[G3 General] SmokinTyre:
Thanks a lot for this blazing fast reply !
[G3 General] tdk0117:
I'm planning on getting a new G3 since my old one just died on me. If I am planning to root the device, is it better to get D850 or D851? Also, for D851, which file would I download to use the LGUP method? D85110R_00.kdz, or LGD851AT_01_V10c.zip?
[G3 General] potatoknight8:
I am getting the following error while Flashing.And everytime i boot my phone it takes me to firmware update :(
[G3 General] hyelton:
Your using USB 2.0 port correct? USB 3.0 won't work. Also the device is not running MM 6.0? If it is you should use LGUP.
[G3 General] potatoknight8:
1-Yes I'm Using USB 2.0 Port

2-No I was running on Stock Rooted 4.4.2 Firmware before not MM.
[G3 General] potatoknight8:
Tried a different computer got a new error :|
[G3 General] hyelton:
You are putting your device in download mode correct?? Freshly each time? Each time you attempt to flash you need to reboot download mode. Model info failed is commonly due to using USB 3.0 or not using a LG OEM cable. (Which the cable can matter)
[G3 General] Hidden Username:
A little word of advice for y'all: If the flash tools says things like can not read model, waiting for connection or can not enter DL mode, just wait it out.

I had the same happen to me, then the thing magically fixed itself and flashed no problems.
[G3 General] hylance:
I flashed the wrong kdz. I thought i can use f400 lollipop in f460s. Now the phone is just black. Cant start, cant charge, cant recovery and cant enter download mode
[G3 General] hyelton:
Those are two different devices. Sadly the device now is most likely hard bricked. You can't flash different model firmware.
[G3 General] hylance:
Yeah that was stupid of me. I hope there will be a way around it
[G3 General] hyelton:
You could try the "unbrick" guide which involves taking the phone apart and shorting pins. But most likely it's toast when doing that.
[G3 General] hylance:
Welp that is extreme. Anyhow, i think my g3 is running still because i can feel the heat coming from it. I dont know how but could you or somebody explain it?
[G3 General] vedo35:
a question

4.Extract the TOT file from the Zip

i coudnt find .tot file inside of downloads :(
[G3 General] hyelton:
Huh? You will download the zip file and when you extract it you get a tot file.
[G3 General] vedo35:
Thanks i found but unfortunately coudnt solve :(

Actually my problem was install a new android version. Like Android 7. when i found a rom from:

https://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/rom-nimax-7-0-v30g-ux4-ux5-stock-6-0-t3579077

this rom f...ed of my LG D855!! After installed and restart.. My Lg completly dead.. When press to power button even LG opening logo not coming .. But when connect to pc i can see at device manager LG Device in serial port 5 .. I found 2 flasher programmes from this web side. But the flashers coudnt solve. Because cant see the LG D855.. I dont know what can i do now..
[G3 General] hyelton:
You never said this in the first place, and this is different than now being able to download a firmware file.

If your device doesn't power up or not have download mode it's a complete brick. There's a guide somewhere where you take the phone apart and short some pens which might revive the phone into download mode.
[G3 General] portage:
Ok so to root LG G3 D852 for Marshmellow 6.0, is this what I have to do:

1) Go back to Kitkat

2) Root it

3) Flash Marshmellow D852 Rogers ROM?

4) This will retain root for MM 6.0?

I'm so lost. Can someone explain in simple terms.
[G3 General] hyelton:
You would downgrade to root and flash a custom rom. You won't flash the firmware here as then it will remove root.
[G3 General] ferttt:
Lg G3 MM stock problem with booting

I have LG G3 (with encryption enabled) and it can not boot successfully, is stuck after putting PIN for encryption.

Safe mode does not help, same result is after reinstalling LG firwmare with LG PC suite in download mode via Restore Upgrade Errors (seems it uploads firmwares but still the same result). I do not have USB debug. mode enabled.

Question, if I try to put back stock firmware with this guide, is this going to delete user data? I have not tried to perform recovery as still trying to recover data from it. If there are no chances based on my info, please let me know, I will just reset it....

thanks in advance
[G3 General] hyelton:
That depends on the model. If AT&T yes 100% data will be lost as you have to use the tot method.

But if your device has kdz files you can do "upgrade" but it may just put you in the same boat that your currently in with it is also a chance of data loss.
[G3 General] ferttt:
Lg G3 MM stock problem with booting

I have Poland release and see there is KDZ file for LG G3 PL, so I can try as last chance. I guess there is no other method you could think I could try to restore data.
[G3 General] hyelton:
I just reread and seen you tried the PC suite which would be the same. Since it's encrypted there's really no way sadly, that I am aware of anyway.

When it freezes does it reboot? Or just freeze after entering the pin? Could be battery or hardware failure which is seemly very common nowadays with the G3
[G3 General] ferttt:
Lg G3 MM stock problem with booting

it is in endless animation with LG, Life's Good. it does not restart
[G3 General] hyelton:
Could possible use a battery issue. But if the data is that important I'd try another battery. But otherwise there's nothing else I can think of.
[G3 General] ferttt:
Lg G3 MM stock problem with booting

Thanks, will try that and will report here if that help.
[G3 General] crizalid8:
please help i want to downgrade from mm to ll lg f400l
[G3 General] portage:
But the customs ROMs I heard don't work well. Like some apps crash and stuff and it can be unstable. Fulmics for example. CM....etc.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Then you can flash a stock based rom I'm sure there's one for your model.
[G3 General] zzricezz:
Hi I just tried to downgrade my lg g3 d852 and now it stuck on the screen where the andriod robot laying down. it would reboot after a few minutes and then be stuck there again.

how do i get out of this loop?
[G3 General] hyelton:
What firmware did you flash? Have you tried reflashing a newer version?
[G3 General] zzricezz:
i flashed TELUS D85220F_00.kdz and everything was looking good until it rebooted and the stuck on the android robot.

I have not tried to flash marshmallow back on,i will give that a try. but i tried the LG tool and it tried to upgrade it to marshmallow and it failed, so i'm thinking i will have the same result?

I can get the phone into download mode by holding the vol+ button, but i am not able to get the phone into fastboot mode by holding vol- button.

i tried the adb reboot-bootloader but i get an error: closed message.

i'm stuck and don't know what else i can do now.
[G3 General] hyelton:
You don't need fastboot mode. Just download mode. Your using lgup correct?

When you flashed you chose refurbish?
[G3 General] zzricezz:
Cd x cg

Yes I originally used lgup and also tried to reflash it but now it will error out after 6% with a partition error.. Also tries lg tool 2014 as well and it doesn't want to flash.

When I go into recovery mode, I see alot of mounting errors in my attachment.
[G3 General] ilhamjoe:

[G3 General] BoxszAsserTUxD:
How to fix lg g3? I cant boot normal, recovery, and fastboot. Always secure boot :( Help me..
[G3 General] hyelton:
You never stated what your model is?

And what caused it to be where it's at now?

Did you follow the guide in the OP? To flash it back to stock?
[G3 General] BoxszAsserTUxD:
Im rooted and just checking only the update from setting and my phone reboot automatically. Tried to reboot in fastboot, recovery, normal, it says secure booting error, always :(
[G3 General] hyelton:
If your rooted you cannot update. You'll need to flash your device back to stock.
[G3 General] BoxszAsserTUxD:
But how? My phone only says Secure Booting Error :( help :((
[G3 General] hyelton:
You put it into download mode and follow the guide on the first page
[G3 General] BoxszAsserTUxD:
How to put in download mode? Volume up and plug the usb connector? Not working :((((
[G3 General] hyelton:
Tried volup and down at same time? And it's plugged into a USB 2.0 port correct? USB 3.0 or charger won't work.
[G3 General] BoxszAsserTUxD:
Only "Hardware key control mode" :((( Laptop usb port. Lg g3 connector... :'(
[G3 General] hyelton:
But are you using a USB 2.0 port?? If its usb 3.0 it wont work
[G3 General] BoxszAsserTUxD:
Yes 2.0 but always Secure booting error :(
[G3 General] SonOfDIta:
Have you tried to unroot it on SuperSU?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Download mode won't give that error. So you've tried vol up and USB? And vol down and usb? And holding both Plus USB?

And your using the original LG USB cable correct?
[G3 General] BoxszAsserTUxD:
I cant open my phone now :( Every time i boot "secure booting error" always pop up...

---------- Post added at 05:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 AM ----------

Hmm wait. Do i need to just plug in the cord only to pc and connect to my phone while holding volume up? :/
[G3 General] SonOfDIta:
You can try this, I guess: https://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/help/help-secure-boot-error-trying-to-boot-t3054977

For entering Download Mode you NEED to press Vol. Up button while connecting the phone to the PC.
[G3 General] BoxszAsserTUxD:
Thank you! I'll try this one. Thankyou thankyou
[G3 General] BoxszAsserTUxD:
Not working :( Can i send you a vid? Its always secure booting error.... Only i can access is Hardware key control mode and factory data reset :(
[G3 General] hyelton:
Have you tried it with another PC? Your doing this with the phone completely off correct?? By pulling battery, putting it back in
[G3 General] BoxszAsserTUxD:
Nope... Yes yes i already tried.. Someone said that my bootloader is corrupted.. I dont know what to do. Help me, i already open my hardware coz some video short their internal hardware to connect in pc... I dont what im doing... :(
[G3 General] SonOfDIta:
Don't you have a custom recovery? You can enter there by the factory data reset mode (Vol. Down + power). If don't, I guess you can PM or email me the video, as you wish.
[G3 General] SonOfDIta:
What modes can you enter? Or you just can enter any mode?
[G3 General] zzricezz:
I'm kinda lost now and tried everything i can think of but still can't get my phone to flash the stock firmware.

I have a Telus D850.

The phone can get into all the modes except for fastboot. I followed the LG FlashTool guide to try to flash tot KitKat file and it would fail with this error.

Any other suggestions i can try?
[G3 General] hyelton:
I'm a tad confused. The D850 is AT&T. Bell is D852. Also you need to be in download mode not fastboot.

So your using a USB 2.0 port? USB 3.0 won't work. And phone in download mode? With the lg/android com port in device manager set to com41?
[G3 General] zzricezz:
Sorry it is d852, Canadian lg g3.

Using USB 2.0, original cable. Phone is in download mode, the log showed that it started the process then fail at about 2%. Yup port 41 is active, I think the log indicates that in the beginning, it able to read info from the phone.
[G3 General] SonOfDIta:
Try with LGUP, maybe works.
[G3 General] zzricezz:
Tried that as well, fail at the 6% mark :(..

I think the phone partition is really messed up and from what I reading only fastboot can fix it but phone wouldn't boot into it.
[G3 General] SonOfDIta:
What error shows up?
[G3 General] zzricezz:
Packet error no. 0x80000001
[G3 General] SonOfDIta:
Have you checked the integrity of the files?
[G3 General] zzricezz:
I think it should be good, i downloaded the firmware a few time and tried tot and kdz files, same results.
