Yeah i didnt loose mine put its crazy how some ppl on here have and it renders their device alnost useless... Is there any way of creating an efs from someone elses phone
[G3 General] hyelton:
You would have to backup the efs directly from the exact phone. But once it's lost it's lost. Models the D850.D855 can upgrade and downgrade as they please at the moment without issues.
[G3 General] PhoneNoobs:
Alright thanks for the info

But how do i know the correct firmware i downloaded "Global D85530B_00_1217.kdz" i have the international D855, does this firmware works?
[G3 General] hyelton:
That would be a correct firmware. 30B is the software version.

I am on windows 10 Home 64 bit and LGUP takes 30 secs before initialization.

Succefully Downgraded from MM F460L30e to MM F460L30c with Refurbish method.

Before I updated with LG Mobile support Tool from LP to MM (I copied the file on 100% doenloading :p) but some apps and settings are creating problems. Although I have Reset.

I hopes now issue will be reolved as this refurbish mthod wipes all data.

Model Information Check FAIL!

When I try this guide on my D852 with MM 6.0.1 installed, I get all way to where the LG Flash Tool (V1.8.1.1023) starts communicating with the phone. The log in the COM41 box says:

PID: NULL
IMEI: NULL
MODEL:
DLL: D852
BIN: LGD852AT-01-V10B-302-720-JUL-15-20

SWOV:

Factory Model Check ERROR!!

I just want to get any stock firmware flashed back onto this phone so that I can SIM unlock it to move it to a different carrier. Apparently that SIM unlock only works on the stock firmware.

Any ideas?
[G3 General] hyelton:
That's because you need to use LGUP if your running MM to flash stock firmware.

i just upgraded my lg g3 d855 32gb (CZE - europian) from android 5.0 (V21a-EUR-XX) to android 6.0 (V30c-EUR-XX) and everything went really smooth.

1. manually backed up only things i care about some already in cloud and the rest in pc

2. did a factory hard reset

3. upgraded using: LGUP 8974.dll, LGUP version 1.14.3 (refurbish) and D85530C_00_0211.kdz

4. re-installed apps i use etc.

OS: win10 pro x64

the whole proccess went faster than i expected. no problems at all.

Unfortunatelly, because of capital controls here, paypal or cc don't allow me to donate atm, but i will when possible.

Hi, I think I will buy the LG G5 this week and want to sell my G3 D855 international. My phone is rooted and I have the bumped MM rom on it. I have some signal problems (sometimes no signal when not on wifi, and when I am on wifi sometimes the carrier signal is completely lost) and because of that i want to revert back to stock and I hope that this will fix my signal problems. I have flashed and rooted phones for many years but the process of revert my phone back to stock is not clear to me. Hope you can help me out. I think I have to follow the guide on the first page with the new LGUP method. And then I follow this:

TO GO BACK TO LP FROM MM - Open LGUP on your computer, click on FILE PATH and point it towards your LP KDZ. Close LGUP and re-open LGUP. Make sure you select REFURBISH this will do a full wipe, tick BIN file. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient

After that my phone is unrooted and 100% original firmware / software?

Many thanks for your help.

Hey, I know you replied to someone asking why it said 'Model information Check Fail', but my phone is currently softbricked and LGUP and FlashTool2014 don't find it .:( So I'm seeking your help because I'm on Lollipop and not Marshmallow and it still gives me the error (Model information Check Fail)

Hello,

Can I upgrade without full wipe from 30b to 30d using LG UP program?

I will not lose any data?

Thanks in advance
[G3 General] krusion:
I have a couple of questions.

1. My phone version is V10o-AME-xx. I think that's Africa and the Middle East since I bought my phone from Emirates. It's factory unlocked. So which phone OS should I use? I can only see a European one here. I found on another thread a global version, but nothing on the AME.

2. Can the third method be used to downgrade from MM to KK? Possibly even from LP to KK? What about upgrading from KK to MM and KK to LP?

3. In the 3rd method, it starts with a video tutorial, then mentioning of a newer method. So this is newer than the video tutorial? Or does the video explain the newer method.

4. Lastly, in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/lg-g3-android-marshmallow-discussions-t3216143, they mention that I should use the LG Flash tool (2014) and not the LG UP like the third method says. That thread is also more recent than this. So which method should I use then? This was the thread that I found the global version in btw.

Thank you in advance.
[G3 General] hyelton:
What is your phones modeL? I'm assuming D855? There's tons of firmwares for that model in the OP :). V10o is your software version not part of your phone model.

If your currently running MM you only have one choice of flash or downgrading which is the 3rd method LGUP. Other flash tools don't work for MM. There's no newer LGUP method all the methods are the same the video is just there for guidance.

This thread may of been around for awhile but I keep it up to date and is still the go to thread for back to stock usually. :)

[G3 General] krusion:
Yes D855... I know V10o is my software and I'm running kitkat. I want to go back to stock kitkat because I want to diagnose a faulty camera. Then I'll probably update to LP or even MM... Afterwards I might go back to KK if I don't like LP or MM for any reason. That's why I ask if the LGUP method can do all that? In that case I won't need to pay attention to anything else.

My phone model is D855. But there are also multiple regions for example there's one in asia, middle east and europe. Mine is the middle east. I can't find any middle eastern software in your database. I don't think I can use the european, can I?

Also, why in that thread I linked it said use the LG Flash tool for MM when your guide says only use LG UP for MM?

As for the video thing... This is what is written in the OP

"LGUP Video Guide - Thanks to [MENTION=5303868]KiaTheKing[/MENTION] !

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPKcuYwDoxY

NEW LGUP Method. This one method can do BOTH TOT & KDZ!! Thanks To [MENTION=3497790]shakeyabooti[/MENTION]![/U][/B] Suggested use for the D855 ONLY! Other models use the previous methods.

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.

"

I take it that video guide is the new method? The way it is structured seems as if there is a newer method after that video method.

Laslty, what's the difference between KDZ and TOT and which one is preferable ? Is there a way for me to extract my firmware? The middle eastern one? Just in case I want to go back to it?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Ahh okay as long as you stick to the model region really does not matter LGUP can be used with any firmware JB,KK,LP, etc. but LGUP has to be used if your running MM. But the other tools still work with all older versions.

The video is no different method wise it's the same there's only 1 LGUP

The difference between tot and kdz is really what's available. As tot is not as available as kdz files.
[G3 General] dRumMzZ:
Hey thanks a lot for the guide. I'm having an issue but I don't know if it's only software.

Basically my phone does not boot. So I decided to flash it. Iniatially it wasn't being detected but I got it to work. First time it went all the way and then failed. Did it a few more tries and now it "Passed" (is that the end?)

Unfortunately, the LED now display blue and green and the phone still doesn't boot. I've read this is an indicator of HW problems, is it true?

Thanks!
[G3 General] hyelton:
What's your model? And what are you flashing and which method? If kdz you are choose CSE flash correct? If it LGUP your choosing refurbish?

Were you stock before and it suddenly started bootlooping?
[G3 General] krusion:
Ahh okay that makes sense.

I have more questions, sorry.

What does CSE flashing mean?

Do you think it would be okay to install the global region? I cannot find the region for my phone which is the middle east.

I want to flash V10o which is the one I'm currently on to remove the root only. Can I extract it from my phone right now?

I found a link to it on another thread. h**p://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW02Y6TE02NOAQYA743173T/D85510O_00.kdz

Can I use that straight away or should I do something to it first?

I also found a global region KDZ for MM, would it be better than the European one for me ?

Lastly, can I update from KK to MM straight away? Or should I go through LP first?

then black screen with red and blue led blinking.
[G3 General] hyelton:
You chose CSE correct? And tried a factory reset? Or if you used LGUP you chose referbish correct?
[G3 General] k1lle:
Yes I chose CSE.

I go to factory data reset and choose "yes" 2 times then it boot to that screen:

then screen turns black and led is blinkin red and blue.

Okay, not sure if I missed something, but is there a way to downgrade from Marshmallow to Lollipop on the D851?
[G3 General] adamderp:
not working for me

So its the second I flash KK on my G3. The first time was because I bricked my phone installing twrp.

This time I just want to downgrade to KK from MM, because I want to root my 852 with rogers, but in ports I get

LGE AndroidNet usb device or whatever instead of LGE mobile usb device like I should.... How do I fix this?
[G3 General] hyelton:
There's nothing to fix. It will show either or of those under ports. It's the same just different naming
[G3 General] adamderp:
I keep getting this error: model information check fail
[G3 General] hyelton:
Your sure your using a USB 2.0 port correct? Wait if you were on MM you should be using LGUP. Lg flash tools won't work
[G3 General] notasandwich:
Haven't been able to get the tot/dll method to work. with my d850. Keep getting "model information check fail". I have tried to do a factory reset and a data wipe but neither has been able to reset everything back to factory setting (any attempt to do so just turns off the screen and the notification LED starts blinking red and blue). What can I do?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Your putting your phone into download mode and using a USB 2.0 port correct? USB 3.0 won't work. And if your running MM you must use LGUP
[G3 General] notasandwich:
I have the d850 which is incompatible with LGUP. When I plug in my phone to any of my USB ports LGUP tells me its an unrecognized model

I have tried the TOT method on all of my USB ports on my computer (most of them are USB2.0) and I get the same error every time
[G3 General] hyelton:
The D850 works perfectly fine with LGUP.. But are you running MM? If so LGUP is your only option.
[G3 General] notasandwich:
If it works with the 850 then why does the software not recognize my phone when I plug it in? Am I missing a dll file or something?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Were you running a custom rom before or CM? That would be the reason for unknown. But you never awnsered my question were you running MM though? Cause if you weren't then you can ignore having to use LGUP
[G3 General] notasandwich:
Yes I was running Marshmallow

I was not running a custom rom but I did have Kingroot installed. Kingroot is mostly likely the source of the problem but since I cannot delete it in the apps section of the setting or even perform a factory reset their is little else I can do but attempting to use either LG Flash tool or LG UP
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yeah you'll be stuck with LGUP only then :/. Sorry if I missed phone boot at all? And you downloaded LGUP from this thread and installed all the phones correct? And your getting unknown while in download mode?
[G3 General] Fedka the Convict:
Posst #3937 asked a question but it was never answered. I came across it as I'm research the possibility of downgrading a root D851 from Marshmallow to either stock Lollipop or even KitKat.

So the question is, it is possible to downgrade a D851 from MM to LP or KK? Would appreciate any help in pointing to a tutorial if possible.

Thanks much
[G3 General] hyelton:
Sorry I missed it but someone will have to confirm. As I don't have that model in hand. It is possible to downgrade but not sure if it will brick or not due to recent changes of things with USA carriers. The tutorial is in the first post here you'd use the LGUP method.
[G3 General] Fedka the Convict:
Thanks for replying. I've already downloaded the files for the LGUP method but I'll probably wait until someone else can confirm that it is possible to downgrade without bricking my phone.

Thanks again.

Back to Stock

Just adding my experience here after reading lots and lots annnnnd lots of posts in hopes it helps anyone.

Model: D852

Carrier: Rogers

Initially I rooted using Purpledrake, installed TWRP. Installed various Roms (Mainly Cloudy's KK and LP roms) with the most recent being Fulmics 5.3 MM ROM.

Just got everything back to Rogers Stock running 4.4.2 using the steps posted in Post #2 using the LG Flash Tool and the Rogers TOT file along with it's DLL.

I wasn't able to use LG UP as that kept showing as "Unknown Device" for me and couldn't continue.

Cheers!!
[G3 General] hyelton:
Glad it worked for you! Remember if your running a custom rom LGUP will do that you'd need to flash a stock based rom first.

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

You would need wipe before doing so and choose CSE in flash tool or referbish in LGUP.

It's not going to brick it if you stick to your model.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Were you running MM? If so you have to use LGUP. If not you sure your using a USB 2.0 port? As USB 3.0 won't work

how to fix it

http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.co....png?key=HWFSKayNizTr5OqAqbEX1Q&ts=1466721050
[G3 General] hyelton:
It looks like your running a custom rom that is why. You have to flash a stock based rom first.
[G3 General] emram120:
Yes

I am using a custom ROM.

What should I do to fix this problem
[G3 General] hyelton:
I stated above ^^. Flash a stock based ROM based on your model first. Then try and flash back to stock.
[G3 General] emram120:
You do not understand my problem

My problem is that the "LGUP"

My phone does not know how STOCK ROM flash on my phone

I think the recovery of a ROM flash DOUDEX I tried to flash the ROM through my LGUP
[G3 General] hyelton:
I don't think you understood. You need to flash a stock based custom rom through recovery before LGUP will detect the phone correctly
[G3 General] phnord:
I'm confused.

I'm using a D850 I just got that has 10f on it. All I want to do is get TWRP installed so I can flash a full backup I made from my last phone –*but from what I understand 10f can't be rooted, so I have to downgrade via this guide, root the stock firmware I setup, and *then* I can install TWRP, right?

Is there a simpler way to do this without downgrading and then rooting and then TWRPing?

And if not... which of these methods in your initial post do I need to use? KDZ seems simplest, right? But does KDZ work for the D850 AT&T? I didn't see a KDZ file for it in your directory... so I assume not? Does that mean I have to do the TOT method?
[G3 General] hyelton:
This guide is for factory things so no clue when it comes to flashing twrp or root and which version. But 10f is pretty old so I wouldn't see why it couldn't be rootable. N you would follow the tot method the D850 is tot method only.

[G3 General] dextrickbell:
I have the verizon version of the lg g3 with the 47a MM update. None of the method seem to be working for my phone. Any suggestions? Tried every flash tool method but all of them seem to give me errors. I am trying to root my phone. Also, i did step by step but once in download mode the progress bar stays at 0% with a message in the box that says "633A B92 (at top of the box) & Modified (in red letters at bottom of the box)"
[G3 General] emram120:
So you'll say my first

Flashtools a flash ram to flash program after the program is to identify lgup phone?

next question

Which version of Flash do I?

ktz or tot?
[G3 General] hyelton:
That's because it's not supposed you you use LGUP if you were on MM. Lg flash tools does not work with MM. But I'm not sure that you can downgrade the Verizon variant. Unless you have the exact firmware you have now and what to flash that.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Huh? You flash a custom stock based from in TWRP based on your model. Then you use LGUP to flash whatever model you have Whether it be tot or kdz it doesn't matter just what ever is available for your device.
[G3 General] dextrickbell:
I had success temporarily root with kingroot but like everyone else I loose root after my phone reboots for any reason. I want permanent root so I can install twrp recovery and get a custom Rom. Also, tried to replace kingroot with supersu method with no success.

Has anyone successfully gotten this to work? I've tried on my d855 G3 but I keep getting a phone disconnected error around 25% of flashing.
[G3 General] Japultra:
So I tried the process again on a different computer and it worked, but now I have an additional question. I have a D855 from HK with HK software on it. I downloaded the German KDZ file for 32 GB and installed it but when I go into my software version, it's still showing that I'm running the HK version software. Does anyone know how to remedy this so that I am on European firmware?

(I want to do this because the phone doesn't pick show LTE as an option unless I go into the service menu)
[G3 General] hyelton:
You would need to flash an European version or wait for one to be released. You can change that within the firmware.

This same guide has been used 1,000s of times :D
[G3 General] bobsie41:
I have just received my new G3 which I have bought on ebay in the post. It is on the 3 network and I am on EE but apparently 3 network devices are unlocked so that isn't a problem. When I turned it on, I got a MacAfee screen asking for a pin number and I am unable, as yet, to get a reply off the seller as to what it is.

I intend to flash the generic UK kdz on this device but, the question is, if I do this now, will this bypass the MacAfee lock or will it be still there. I suspect that it will but has anybody any experience of this?
[G3 General] hyelton:
I'm not sure what that lock is. McAfee is an antivirus program which has nothing to do with the phone other than an downloaded app
