Thanks guys for your help but what you gave me for D855 and what I want D855K , I have already tried the D855 though will work but I got a message saying wrong model number.

Well, if you say you tried and it worked why should it matter if it says wrong model number? I dont see anything else out except what we posted and you ried already. Sorry could not be more helpful.

Put the phone in download mode. Hold volume up and insert usb cable.

Just use Europe and then re-flash your Vietnam kdz.

[MENTION=370588]scarecrow2012[/MENTION]

I asked if the version I needed was the Europe_NoBrand_32GB one and you confirmed thanks. Only thing now is that there appears no TOT file for this?

Someone else asked for this in another section but it was not answered. I am guessing that this means this version cannot be flashed to stock without this at this current time.
[G3 General] scarecrow2012:
Once you download it and extract it the TOT file should be in the extracted folder. There is no DLL file in the extracted folder, it can be downloaded from the link you posted. Hit the back link next to Europe_NoBrand_32GB for that file.
[G3 General] D0MINO:
Thanks for this but I have been having problems with flashing due to it saying the download mode could not be activated after the green percentage gets to about 12%, then it goes red and says failed. I am on Win 8.1 Pro and will try my desktop with Win 7 and see if that works.

I think someone mentioned it before but I would highly recommend you rewrite your entire post to give a proper full tutorial with additional notes on such things as using Win 7 to avoid compatibility issues with the flash software and making sure to use a USB 2.0 port for activating download mode. As it stands, I find your initial post a little confusing and not all that helpful since we have to go to another page to follow someone else's instructions (i.e it is not your work but then you are asking people to refer back to you as the source if they post elsewhere?) plus there is no 'TEST 3' image (You must have meant image STEP 3) but this screenshot would have been helpful to display by yourself rather than us having to figure it out. Not only that but I don't really fancy going through 25 pages of posts to find where my problem might lie and realise it's probably as simple as using Win 7.

I don't mean to have a go but having just upgraded from an i9000 with which I had 4yrs of experience on XDA with highly detailed step by step tutorials on flashing custom ROMS/Kernels and such, this really is a poorly written 'tutorial' in comparison and has frustrated me! Sorry!

UPDATE: Using a Win 7 machine resulted in no problems and a perfect flash. I can only suggest to everyone with Win 8 that IT JUST WILL NOT WORK & YOU HAVE HAVE TO USE WIN 7, so stop filling threads with issues that nobody can help you with until you have at least tried this.

**Apparently it may work on Win 8.1 if you run as Administrator

As a correction to my posting above, the TEST 3 image IS NOT STEP 3 (nor TEST 3 in fact!) but in fact a blue screen which comes up after a successful flash stating a factory reset with the number 3..Honestly, even a rocket scientist wouldn't be able to figure this one out, so you see what I am saying about (the frustration felt from following) your poorly written tutorial.

I am posting the images below so it will help others.

When you flash correctly then this screen comes up on the PC:

And the phone should show this so you can unplug the USB now and pull the battery out then restart (This is what was meant by the 'TEST 3' image):

After this it will restart and show a green android with an atom on inside on its side for a few seconds with a progress bar (similar to this):

then restart automatically again and your phone should be reset to stock!
[G3 General] Eagledig:
I just tried several time and it works
[G3 General] D0MINO:
This is the exact same thing I was getting on my Win 8.1 machine. Not sure if it's a more wider ranging error for other stuff but when I switched to a Win 7 machine it flashed perfectly.
[G3 General] Eagledig:
At first, I hab this problem on Windows 8.1 and after several try, it works on 8.1
[G3 General] D0MINO:
Ah, you must be the lucky one perhaps..I didn't want to risk a bricking so fortunately I had another option to try.
[G3 General] JCDinPGH:
I posted all of this in the Verizon G3 forum about my experiences with restoring my phone to stock but maybe it will help some others here also. After a tremendous amount of experimenting on 4 different workstations, I was only able to get one to recognize my G3 in download mode. I have tried 3 different version of the unified driver and rebooted multiple times on each workstation. Windows XP x64 was the only one that finally worked. I'm still working on the others as the XP x64 workstation is at work so quite a pain to restore to stock if necessary. I've already restored my phone 2x. The one thing I did discover was that if your computer doesn't recognize your phone, your phone will not go into download mode. The phone talks to the computer and if the computer doesn't correctly see the phone, it won't go into download mode. This can be a huge cause of frustration as it was driving me nuts because I could never get the phone into download mode no matter what I did.

hey guys i have a d855 32gb bought from amazon.it says that it is on v10i-sea-xx firmware atm.which rom should i DOWNLOAD and flash to go back to stock?

P.S. I dont have a clue where it is from.from the "SEA" i guess it is from South East Asia.Anyone got a clue?
[G3 General] Helloworld294:
Honestly, that thing method of restoring is useless since it wipes your sdcard (data/media) folder. I mean why would it do that unless I'm reconfiguring partition data table... Restored yesterday and it literally *reset* the phone back into out-of-the-box condition. Really can't wait for nandroid capabilities.

---------- Post added at 07:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 AM ----------

You know later on I figured you could just boot into download mode, adb push twrp recovery and fix permissions without losing aany of the files and settings. Jesus...

Most problems with Windows 8.1 are with LG drivers pack installation or old version of LG Flash Tool.

Mine was solved after uninstalling and reinstalling LG drivers pack.
[G3 General] Pilz:
I tried installing and reinstalling the latest one I could find. Could you post which ones you used?
[G3 General] orlandson:
I'm using that one, wich should be the most recent one:

http://oceanhost.eu/ed0bnrnghgef/LGUnitedMobileDriver_S51MAN312AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.12.3.exe.htm

Unplug your phone.

Uninstall what you are using and reboot.

Install that one and reboot again.

Done. Plug the phone again and should work.

*Also make sure you have the last version of LG Flash Tool 2014 (Build 03/07/2017)

adb chmod in download mode?

does this theoretically mean that if I can get into download mode (apparently I can), I can use adb with chmod to get out from a bootloop if I know where my desired file resides without the need of a factory reset/data loss?

if so, for setting up the adb connection shall I open a new thread somewhere or can I ask for a bit more help here aswell?

(have the lg unified drivers up on my xp, plus got a rusty 'adb minimal'exe from my moto g/samsung nexus times still, but the adb shell command responds (no device detected). In the device manager both the MTP device and the USB modem appears without any exclamations or such

Unfortunately this morning I installed an OTA update for T-Mobile and I'm stuck in a boot loop to TWRP. From what I've read the only solution is to re-flash the stock image back onto the phone. I'm at work where my PC is running Windows XP.

Doesn't TWRP have adb or a command line interface (terminal/shell) built in to it?

it's possible it's just a broken dl
[G3 General] thekosmicdesign:
It took forever and since my work computer sucks, it was very time consuming. Anyway, I downloaded a download manager in order to download the file better and make sure it's complete. Then I followed all the steps and my slow work computer took 50 minutes to flash the stock rom. Anyway I ended up with a PASS at the end but my phone showed a blue screen with "Factory Reset Status 3." It wasn't doing anything so I unplugged it, took out the battery, then booted up. It looks fine after booting, and I plan on restoring a nandroid I made a while back. But is the fact that the phone didn't boot on its own from the blue screen ok? I had to manually take the battery out...
[G3 General] nagymancs:
it was to be like that. Somewhere in the instructions it says that it is to be disconnected when status 3 happens, so no worries

I read somewhere that this could happen if your hosts file has been modified to prevent OTA updates. Usually this happens when using the 'kdz' method to revert back to stock. (Never mind. Problem was with security settings at work. At home I can check for updates)

So my question is, could there be any root traces left on my phone? I'm planning on selling the phone, so I want it completely stock.

thank you for posting the 10A version of the f400l lg g3 -

i see someone else writing about 10l version for the d855 does it exist for the f400l

i am a bit anguished, i installed the sphynx rom, the developer seems to have gone, there are no roms for the g3

i guess everyone is waiting for the android l but then that doesn't give me much hope that there will be a custom rom for it and i don't want to miss it whenever it comes

so, if i reload the 10a version that you have posted a link will i be able to receive the other updates
