Your welcome :) and yeah for all LGs its the same :)
[G3 General] YellaHayes:
im on Ls990 and Im trying to flash zva but it keeps telling me wrong dll? I cant seem to find any different than the MegaLock.dll. Even though the screenshots have different names. Any suggestions
[G3 General] hyelton:
You use the ls990 dll file from the link where the tot is at.
[G3 General] YellaHayes:
Thanks! I got the link from a forum on xda so i'll ask for the dll there. it didnt have a dll file in the zip

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

This is xda lol

Check my links in the OP. Everything needed is there.
[G3 General] YellaHayes:
I tried your files. That's what gave me the wrong dll
[G3 General] hyelton:
[Guide] LG G3 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ &amp; TOT Method

Above you said something about the megalock file. Which is not what you use when flashing.

So you used this file? http://storagecow.eu/Xda/LG G3/Stock/Sprint LS990/LGLS990_20140704_LGFLASHv160.dll
[G3 General] YellaHayes:
So i realized I wasnt using that dll file. I decided to just go back to zv8, but now im just stuck with the flashtool not recognizing my phone. Drivers are updated. Computer restarted. trying different ports. I never get a Ready.

I just tried to go back into download mode and had the FlashTool open. its running but im scared now bc i didnt initiate anything
[G3 General] hyelton:
Did you click the yellow button? Never get a ready? That has nothing to do with the connection of the phone. It should say ready even with no connection.
[G3 General] YellaHayes:
Yeah i did but never saw a Yellow Ready. i put it in download mode and switched usb ports. it looks like it did it but its now on a blue screen that says Facotry Reset Status 2. and Before that it was at the recovery screen and i choose to reboot now. the Flashtool is stuck at 94%. What do i do now?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Anything after 85% means it's done. And 99% of the time it always "fails" that's in the OP :p
[G3 General] YellaHayes:
ok so now when i restart it. it only has the Factory reset screen
[G3 General] hyelton:
What happens when you try to re flash? Does it fail?
[G3 General] YellaHayes:
doing it now 15%
[G3 General] hyelton:
Try performing a factory reset afterwards

And if that still doesn't work

Try using Board_DL when on the tot selection screen if this still doesn't work
[G3 General] YellaHayes:
Do i do anything when Flashtool says waiting for reset 25secs? at that point the phone is in recovery mode. What do i do from there?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Recovery mode?
[G3 General] YellaHayes:
yeah it went straight to recovery mode at around 85% last time.

ANd i did try factory reset when it was stuck at the facotry reset screen didnt help. ill try the Board dl if this flash doesnt work

---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------

Finally got it working. I really had to hit the Yellow Arrow and then unplug, let Flashtool Freeze, plug in again, then unplug. Then it would finally say Ready. Then as soon as i plug in, it started working. Thanks for the help. Now i gotta root.

:eek:

I bought my D855 32gb in Hong Kong

and I'm now in UK , I'm with Three here but I can't seem to get lte working , frequency is compatible but i can't even find the lte mode

I don't know what your version is but try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2855670

There are various threads regarding LTE issues so do some more searching if that doesn't help, some people say deleting a system file called lte.config (something like that) solves that. Take a look around :)

Help?

Dude what if my flash fail but my phone just came alive again, im on the system now but the "lg flash" trow me an error...

What i have to do?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Could you explain?

Was it 85% or higher when it failed? It's almost always going to "fail" after 85% the rest is rebooting. So if your phone is working after that it's fine. That's normal :)
[G3 General] AngelxCasas:
Nevermind, already done, and i get lollipop again from the phone, but it seems i have some issues... :(
[G3 General] hyelton:
Which you never stated those problems which we cannot read minds :p

If you having problems after flashing then it's either a hardware issue or a issue with LGs actual firmware.
[G3 General] looooozeeeeer:
guys, first of all, i want to apologize for being a lazy pig from reading 219 pages to get answers for my question. ok, this is my first android device, lg g3 d855 with V20h-ESA-XX software version (lollipop), and then here's my question :

i tried to root my device yesterday with purpledrake method without knowing that lollipops was not currently supported, then supersu says blah blah blah you need to manually re root blah blah, i wanted to root my phone, should i just downgrade to kitkat with these guide or there is something i need to do first (about my fail attempt to root)?

i got... i dont know, asia version (ESA?) of international LG G3 d855? if i must downgrade to kitkat to root my device, which rom should i use for flashing? (please guys, please i beg you dont answer "in the OP", i dont find ESA version (or i didnt know what ESA means) and i already tried sites that ask me to put my 15 digits IMEI number to get a correct ROM for my device but the result always error loading page)

thanks in advance :D

P.S. another apologize for my poor english
[G3 General] hyelton:
You can flash any D855 firmware as long as it's for the D855.
[G3 General] looooozeeeeer:
guys, i got a failure, im using the TOT method, my first try got to 94% and then it got a fail message with red color, it would not go to "factory reset 3" and passed, instead, it stuck on 2 and fail, now everytime i tried to re-flash (even using the board DL) it will only goes to 6%, fail, and getting cannot change to DL mode message. what should i do?

im flashing a lg g3 d855 (it says made in korea so i choose korean factory), with an EUR 16GB rom

p.s. i also tried factory reseting the phone via power+vol down method, no luck

any help will be appreciated
[G3 General] hyelton:
Well as I stated a lot about the fail thing. Flash tool will almost always fail but anything after 85% means it's done. But if you got the factory reset 2 screen and using board id will fix that.

If you getting an error at 6% saying can't change to download mode that means your not using a USB 2.0 port, your PC needs restarting , or your phone needs to be rerebooted into download mode. You must use a USB 2.0 port. That would be a connection issue.

Also what do you mean by choosing Korea factory? Where your phone is made has nothing to do with the flash process.
[G3 General] looooozeeeeer:
holy crap! it works, IT REALLY WORKS!!! thanks a lot man, im so sorry i couldn't thank you enough.

my phone now running on 4.4.2 10o, and its rooted, i was scared because the video said it would "pass" if im succeded

ok now software asks me to update to 20h again, how do i disable the update? anything to do with the hidden menu? or i just have to ignore it?
[G3 General] hyelton:
[Guide] LG G3 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ &amp; TOT Method

You have to root to disable updates fully.

Not my video, it may showed that it passed but it didn't say it would say passed if you succeeded. I have it in the OP that says it will "fail" most of the time but anything after 85% it's done. Even when there's a video still read the guide :p. Usually following a video can take longer.

Anyway I'm glad you got it. :)
[G3 General] skylar.sutton:
FYI for anyone trying the KDZ method... the Verizon (VZW) drivers linked on post #1 are out of date and WILL NOT WORK. You need to find LG_VZW_United_WHQL_v2.22.0.exe.

You'll know they don't work when the flash tool fails at 25% and says "phone is disconnected". Also in Windows Device Manager the phone will be listed as "LGE Android Device" with a yellow exclamation point.

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

Everyone has there own assortment of problems from time to time. And I myself and a few others the past couple of days I've helped with the Verizon version had no issue with it. I've flashed a ton of these phones back to stock. Even with extremely old drivers at times But updating is never a bad thing. Not sure what OS your running but majority of driver issues happen mostly with Windows 8/8.1/10.

Like I said I'll update the OP with a new link just in case as it doesn't hurt.

EDIT: Wait, I see the problem here. If you check the TOT method below the KDZ method, the Drivers are latest as what is on Verizon`s Website, But the KDZ method is not which I have now updated.
[G3 General] jdgesmlls:
Verizon 24B

I see the hosting site has the 24B Verizon vs985 KDZ image.

I know there was an issue getting/taking OTA's when you would use the 10B KDZ (had something to do with the image being "_01" as opposed to "_03") I see the 24B KDZ has the same "_01" naming. Since there is no OTA for 24B yet, is it expected that the same behavior applies to this image?

I may be moving up to a N6 and I am just wondering if I should TOT back to 10B and take the OTA or if I can avoid some steps and go right to 24B.

[MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION] Is there a limit on firmware not to revert back to KK from LP. I do have the G3 t-mob on at&t 5.01 D85120(E). I do a lot of searching, this is why i'm asking. I did read something that after 20B you can't revert. But that was back in 2014. I would think that may have changed, but i'm on page 186 on this thread and haven't come acrossed it yet. lol Thanks.
[G3 General] hyelton:
You can revert back as far as it's possible for the model. Same for upgrading. If you have a T-Mobile version you might have LTE issues.
[G3 General] KennyLG123:
Ya i did see you told someone the modem file was in the KDZ file. I guess it will be a flip of a coin then. Or if it will work i can rip a kk modem zip it and flash it if thats the case. Thats all i needed. Thanks again.. Nice work by the way.
[G3 General] lakatusch:
Hi there,

NEED QUICK HELP.

Have tried the TOT Method to return to stock. I have had it done 4 months ago, with no problems.

Today it runs into an error. FlashTools shows error and stopped the process. The display on the phone shows a progress of 3 %.

I have unpluged and pluged in the phone. Now flashtool shows the error message : cant change to download mode.

Any idea?

regards

Daniel

EDIT:

after unplug and plug in 5 times... the next try is running...

next try failed after 1150 seconds... can that be true?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Well that error usually means a connection error and or using the wrong type of USB port. You have to use a USB 2.0 port. USB 3 won't work.. Also make sure your using the original cable that came with the phone.

What do you mean? Can what be true? What failed? Was it more than 85% if so its supposed to almost always fail that's normal.
[G3 General] lakatusch:
it was pluged in an USB 2.0 port...

with the question "can that be true", i was meaning, that i not expected that the phone does nothing for 1150 seconed. i had the hope, that everything was done in the meanwhile.

now im trying the flashtool 2014 method, but i think this also wont work :(
[G3 General] kritos223:
need help

Hi. I have the LG G3 S and I found the firmware from this site lg-phone-firmware.com/firmware-LG+G3+S/Beat-Tutti-99.html. I have the germany version d722v20a.

I followed all the steps above but my device still has lolipop.

Do you have any idea why? I would say the problem could be the firmware. Is it possible for you to upload a working firmware?
[G3 General] hyelton:
First of all posting links to that site are not allowed here. And that would be because you probably flashed a lollipop firmware. That site only relies on LGs servers to steals there BW. So they never have archives of the older firmware like I do. Sadly I never archived any firmware a for that model.
[G3 General] Broloff:
Unroot with this method

[MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION] can i unroot my G3 with lollipop 20H Firmware with Flashtool 2014 using the normal flash mode or the CSE flash mode?
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes but use the CSE.
[G3 General] Broloff:
but if i use the normal flash, something worse could happen like not being able to get OTA's or weird bugs?
[G3 General] rdeets:
Could I get some assistance?

I'm working on a D850 for a customer. The customer brought in in with a bootloop. I downloaded the D850 tot and dll, ran the LG flash tool, and everything went fine. Took out battery, put it back in, LG logo came on, AT&T logo came up, and I let it bootloop for 5-10 minutes. It finally loaded up. Good to go, right? Nope.

I took the OTA update, and when it rebooted it went into a boot loop. It would only load up to the LG logo and reboot. Not even getting to the AT&T logo. I ran the LG flash tool again, it went through the process, and still bootloops at the LG logo. I did a factory reset, ran the LG flash tool, and did another factory reset after the flash tool was finished. It still won't go past the LG logo.

Any ideas?

Edit: I plugged in the USB cable (LG flash tool is not loaded), and it boots up to the AT&T logo now. Sits on the AT&T logo a few seconds, and then goes to the charging screen. Battery is at 80%. If I remove the USB cable, it returns to boot looping at the LG logo.

Edit 2: I got it to boot into safe mode, and I got past the initial screens. Then the phone rebooted again.

Edit 3: Figured it out. It's a hardware issue. Battery is toast. I swapped batteries with my personal D850 and customer's device booted properly while mine stuck at the LG bootloop.
[G3 General] hyelton:
IF you updated and it bootlooped that means it was rooted.

Try and reflash.

[MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION] : I just flashed latest kdz on d855..

Flashed successfully as stated in op.

but on every boot I am getting cust not matching error, like cust not available or something.

will you plz tell me how to fix this ?

I think we need hard kdz flash here, link at op for hard kdz is redirecting to homepage.

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

Wait what? Got a screenshot? I've never seen that before.

Did you do CSE flash? And did you perform a factory reset?

What do you mean?? What's a hard kdz? There's no such thing as a hard kdz. All links in the OP work just fine.
[G3 General] RohanAJoshi:
attaching image of error.

this error comes when cust partition is not matching rom.

but we flashing kdz then it it must flash cust partition from kdz, but somehow given kdz method is not flashing cust partition.

.

hard kdz method is you mentioned is op :

.

this link is redirecting to homepage.

.

edit : I did CSE Flash and did not hard reset phone, but CSE flash formatted all data from internal storage.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Ohhh Hard kdz method meant it was more agrriviating to do and barely even works anymore. It was the SAME method, Its just that the tool had been replaced so it would work properly again. Its been long removed as its not needed and barely even works. Its the same tool as the current, but the current was modified to not connect to the internet. So it does not affect the way the flashing actual is done.

Try resetting the phone. Had your already rerooted? And have you tried using a different KDZ?
[G3 General] krwudtke:
VZW LG G3 back to Kitkat?

Before Lollipop my G3 from Verizon would go all day and still have like 70% battery life. After the OTA update, I'm lucky to get through the day sometimes. I did a factory reset once and it helped a little, but not completely. I did NOT reset after the 5.0.1 (VS985 24B) update. My phone is less than a year old. I'd really like the performance I had before. I also have NOT rooted this phone. I have rooted other phones previously, but usually wait until I am at least close to my upgrade date, but that isn't until October, 2016. Should I try going back to Kitkat or would you suggest something else? Would I have to root before going back? What effect would going back have on my warranty status? I'm guessing the 10B firmware I see on your server is the last Kitkat version. I thought I saw something about 12B somewhere, but I"m guessing that was for a different carrier/model. Also, I'm guessing since the 10B is a zip file I have to use TOT method, if I decide to go back, right?

Sorry for all the questions and thanks in advance for your help,

Kevin
[G3 General] RohanAJoshi:
sorry, but I did not tried another kdz, and also not rooted cause my friend need it as stock..

actually this error does not affect anywhere, so he is good with this.

anyway, thanks for your support.
[G3 General] jorannk:
I tried both methods but sadly they fail.

When i use the TOT method it fails after 6% and it says it cant change to download mode.

Not really sure if he is serious because i am in DL mode, right?

Any ideas or suggestions what it could be?

I am using a LG G3 D855 btw.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: No matter how i boot it, it always ends up with the Firmware Update screen..

Does that mean its bricked?
[G3 General] hyelton:
That error your having is related to using a USB 3.0 port or a USB cable that was not meant for a phone and or cheap cable

Make sure your using a USB 2.0 port.

The firmware update screen IS download mode..
[G3 General] jorannk:
Hey, thanks for the reply.

I am using the original cable and a USB 2.0 port.

How ever, now i tried a different USB 2.0 port and its actually at 10% after 160 seconds.

So i'm curious how this goes..
[G3 General] hyelton:
Everything has to be perfect for flashtool so work so yes changing ports don't hurt :).
[G3 General] jorannk:
Hehe yes indeed. Stil at 10% though.. Isn't it supposed to go a little faster?

Edit: It just keeps repeating:

LAF : Bin_USer_Mode

Laf memory size: 16G!

Memory size is machted.

PRIMARYGPT

MODEM

And just to be sure, i am using LGD855AT-00-V10e-EUR-XX-JUL-08-2014-16G+0 for my international model. That is correct right?

Edit 2: After 989 seconds it fails again saying: We can't communicate with the phone.

Edit 3: Finally i got passed it once, but i got a blue screen with a number 2 on it.

So i'll just try again, i don't have a clue what it could be.

Any idea guys?
[G3 General] hyelton:
How long did you give it? Cause that 2 is supposed to change to 3 then you pull battery.

[G3 General] hyelton:
Could you explain a little more? Model? Kdz or tot? I'm assuming it's a D855 and you maybe used the kdz method?

If so did you do normal or CSE flash? And have you also done a factory reset??

If you did a normal flash go back and do an CSE flash.

Its the d855 and i used the kdz method and i followed the steps exactly,i havent done factory reset should i do it and start flashing firmware from the beggining?Whats your system data size?

Try doing a reset first. If it's still not do a CSE flash. That could be your issue.

What do you mean what's my data size? For what?

Anyone tried it on Windows 10?

I am happily using CM12.1 no problems but... - anyone tried this yet - from scratch - in windows 10?

I noticed that "Ports" seems to be unavailable/invisible/removed in Device Mangler.

I also have noticed that since my d852 required at first a .tot file that LG Flashtool remembers this and brings me right to the last screen.

However - i now have a .kdz since Lollipop came out and the LGflashtool is still bringing me through to the final step of .tot process - without the annoying part of configuring the port. I'm not sure is this is bad - I can just point it at the .kdz file right?

I am asking this not because I need this (I am happy with CM 12.1) but because I might need this some other time and I am trying to stay informed and up to date with my options.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Yes it works, but anything other than XP or 7 you can experience issues. Your post is a little confusing to me though.
