Hi guys im using F400s rooted with towelroot and i havent done any kdz flashing and my phone never touch the lg flashing tool.

So can i use this guide to unroot and upgrade my firmware since my upgrade center says that 10k is available without having to wipe any data ?

Thx guys!

Edit: on pc suite it says that my phone is locked thus it cant connect. anyone experience something like this or happen to know what should i do to unlock my device so that pc suite can connect to it?

my phone is F400S thx guys!
[G3 General] frostywinter:
Yeah this method doesnt work on my F400K rooted G3 either - I get the same error "phone is locked" and even though phone is unlocked wont connect.

I would like to go back to stock to install updates also.

I cant even remember which method I used to root but would have been one of the first ones as had the G3 for a few months now.

Any help appreciated..

Tks Frosty :fingers-crossed:
[G3 General] Steph09:
Are you talking about pc suite telling you that it's locked as in screen is locked and you have to go put in your password, knock code, whatever to unlock it?

Sent from my LG-D855
[G3 General] frostywinter:
Yeah PC Suite is telling me phone is locked - phone isn't locked though.

Tks
[G3 General] Steph09:
Weird :( Is the PC Suite the latest version? Maybe trying another port or cable? Or why not flash the .kdz file?

[G3 General] @home:
When I did my G3, I download the version for the G3, Installed & then let it do the 2 updates before I plugged my phone in to restore, if that's any help?
[G3 General] Thil3000:
My phone does get recognized by LG PC Suite but when i try to to restore update error, im getting this message : The latest version is already installed. Latest version : D85510B (I did flash a rom to test it out and now can't go back)

but the thing is I have a D852G (from canada) and the latest version is D852G10c i think but if i go here

csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI

there is no sw update

is there a way to force it to download the software back and flash it?
[G3 General] crzygrmn:
Is your screen locked with code? Or pattern?

---------- Post added at 09:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 AM ----------

D852 10b is the latest we have for Canada.

There is nothing else for. Not even software to restore our phones. Were kinda screwed till any thing gets released
[G3 General] Thil3000:
well for Rogers and Bell yes but im with Videotron and i had the 10c, my device is LG G3 D852G... but it doesn't really do any differences, as we're still screwed

It is quite easy to find the TOT files for us tho.. but this also mean flash stock and loosing all data
[G3 General] nature_wayne:
i have korean version F400K, got update software via OTA, but it wont install the update, it's err 0x1117008

the device is suspect rooted, but i don't root my device at all

try with your tutorial, but it's still won't update via OTA and still err 0x1117008

any ideas?
[G3 General] DonnyR:
worked for me (D855, V10e).

I did have the update available (and had already updated before rooting - had the KDZ file under the below link.

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b...2.jsp?esn=<IMEI HERE>

It did not restore the Vodafone branding (bootanimation) that I removed.

Wil re-root and see if the bootanimation.old are still there in the system folder...
[G3 General] txla:
I have the same problem, except I've rooted it before and unrooted it. It still won't update. Does anyone know what to do?
[G3 General] DudeThatsErin:
What does this mean? I'm following the steps carefully but I can't unroot. :(
[G3 General] azcamm27:
I cant get my G3 back to uk firmware no matter what i do it says europe in the software information any ideas please
[G3 General] p70shooter:
That's what mine says so that is stock mine says 10h eur xxx or something like that.
[G3 General] azcamm27:
Ok thanks im sure mine said uk tho do you have version i software update.
[G3 General] Zachary droid:
Will this erase anything, just curious

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------

Will this work for the tmobile version, ima try it
[G3 General] p70shooter:
No won't erase anything other than root ;) Will work for t mobs.
[G3 General] Zachary droid:
Thank you, i unrooted thru superSU and it seemed to work, because root checker and titanium wouldn't find root, but this mornibg the update came back, but it wouldnt take, it went to the download screen, but nothing happened, and when i check the build its still C instead of M

---------- Post added at 08:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 AM ----------

It wont upgrade, it keeps tellings me, cannot run upgrade, check phone status and retry, why would it do this..
[G3 General] p70shooter:
Even tho you have rooted there will be some traces left, so you have to either manually remove all traces like all xposed framework and any build prop changes or the easy way is restore upgrade errors with pc suite. Run that, it takes a while. Then take ota and then reroot.
[G3 General] Zachary droid:
The pc suite wont work, ive tried 100 times, it tells me to check out the model, and serial number, with a caution triangle on the left side, which i think is weird
[G3 General] p70shooter:
Very weird, I don't know the answer to that one. Have you tried the flastool and flashing a stock kdz for your device?
[G3 General] Eddieh31:
I get an errors saying

Cannot proceed upgrade.

Mobile device software upgrade is blocked on no upgrade policy.

what do i do?

TMobile D851 rooted with PurpleDrake
[G3 General] reverend remiel:
Just did this on my 32GB/3GB D855, going from 10e rooted to unrooted. LG PC Suite found the phone, an available update, downloaded and applied it, and is currently optimizing apps.

No idea which version I'll end up with, though..
[G3 General] kapeedp:
So did everything go well??

D855P

Hi all,

Anyone tried this method with D855P (Brazilian LG G3's version)? Does it works?
[G3 General] reverend remiel:
Yeah, I'm now at 10h, re-rooted and the random shutdown issue seems to be gone as well. All good! :)
[G3 General] sas007:
Thanks

Hi i was rooted and wanted to go back to pure stock as no reason really to have root at this time,

used *OPTIONAL STEP* and all went to plan and worked perfectly so thank you very much.
[G3 General] ericshmerick:
This method does not work. I towelrooted, removed bloat, then hard reset weeks later (going to sell the phone).

I followed the OP to a "T" and it says no updates. BTW, after a hard reset/reformat, I get "Unfortunately, Android System has stopped." and cannot get the dialogue box to go away. PC Suite just tells me there is no update, full stop. Nothing.

So, I have a phone with missing system partition files (bloat) and it won't work properly. Nice. Damnit.

US AT&T D850 model. Nothing works, including LG's PC Suite.
[G3 General] Gravediggaz:
So this method won't wipe all my data on my phone?
[G3 General] p70shooter:
Have you used the flashtool?

---------- Post added at 08:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 AM ----------

That's correct.
[G3 General] Gravediggaz:
Does it work on Korean Lg G3's?
[G3 General] jatco:
I got the same error message from the Restore upgrade error option. Try upgrade the fw through the LG PC Suite shows the same error message. My G3 is also from T-mobile.
[G3 General] arlmsk:
worked for me

worked for me, i'm using international version.
[G3 General] Slmii92:
Will this work if you rooted with PupleDrake?
[G3 General] p70shooter:
Yep :)
[G3 General] Slmii92:
Thanks, that's a relief.

I unrooted using this method because I had an update to V10i, but I couldnt root again with Stump. So I used PurpleDrake, just wanted to be sure that I can unroot again for the L update.
[G3 General] p70shooter:
Will work with any combination, so all good :)
[G3 General] he6rt6gr6m:
FYI: These steps worked perfectly in updating my rooted G3 to V10l today WITHOUT deleting any apps or any data.

Thanks very much Lenny. :)
[G3 General] Helloworld294:
I think you can easily unroot with SuperSU...

There is an option "complete cleanup" that deletes root
[G3 General] igylan:
Will this restore stock recovery? I have TWRP installed on my G3 d855.
[G3 General] Yes_:
Cheers. Worked perfectly on my D855.
[G3 General] he6rt6gr6m:
Sorry mate. I haven't messed with Recovery. Just root.
[G3 General] igylan:
Its OK. Anyway, I went back to stock by manually updating v10i to 10l using KDZ and LG flashtool and it also got back stock recovery, after that I rerooted and installed twrp. For anyone who cares, you get back stock recovery by flashing kdz files through flashtool. Cheers!
[G3 General] Krumpet:
I tried that and it didn't work, for trying to upgrade from v10m to v10t on my F400K.

The OP's method is also not working, it says my 10m is the latest version (ignoring 10t...) and that there's nothing to change.
[G3 General] bcoop8:
Downgrading firmware?

So I used this method to unroot and get back to stock so I could take the OTA that has been rolling out today. Now that I've upgraded to the new firmware(and lost root in the process. I knew that going in), does anyone know if it is possible to flash the same tot file from the OP to get back to the older stock, then use one of the root methods that worked for that firmware version? Just in case I want root again in the future. Or does flashing an older firmware version not work?

Thanks!
[G3 General] p70shooter:
You will have to try it and see, should work but thecubed has said that he thinks LG have plans to stop you roll back to older firmware. So his advice is don't take any otas, unless you don't want root and bump.
[G3 General] Gravediggaz:
Every time I use this way to unroot my phone it works fine but when I go to update software it says software is unavailable and then says error with updating new software try again and then it says I have the latest OS? This has happened to me twice since I used this way to unroot, happened to anyone else?
[G3 General] fOxunO:
What's different between using "Restore Upgrade Errors" and "Factory reset" from VolDown+Power ?
[G3 General] Eimpress:
Bump

Can i use this method to go back to stock if my g3 is bumped and rooted?
[G3 General] SmittyXU:
I just keep getting "Cannot run upgrade...Check phone status and retry". It does that for upgrade check and for restore upgrade errors.

[G3 General] 1aggelos1:
Whats the new update ?
[G3 General] Showtek1980:
Hey there! Did you have any other phone drivers installed prior to installing the LG Suite? Uninstall ALL phone drivers including the LG Suite and try again. Formatting your PC might help as some drivers are blocking or interrupting your LG G3 and PC connection. Before formatting your PC.. Try installing LG Suite on another PC/laptop and try again. If ALL fails... flashing back to stock and updating from there is your only option... Good luck :good:
[G3 General] ace2153:
I've tried this method but LG suite won't start and the driver's keep failing
[G3 General] JMak00:
I don't see the sprint version LGLS990 listed at the LG PC Suite site. Will I mess up my phone by using one of the other G3 models listed? TIA!
[G3 General] p70shooter:
I wouldn't risk it. If you want to go back to stock use the flashtool and flash the right kdz for your phone.

Omg thank you so much for this post!!

You have made what has been a crappy couple of days trying to sort out my LG G3 into a great day.

Has anyone been able to update past D85010d on att? I'm getting an update notice on the phone, but PC suite gives latest firmware installed. Is there any way to force the update?
[G3 General] bolmpasisv:
does this method work only with kit kat or also with lollipop ?
[G3 General] farqui:
Just tried this on my D855, PurpleDrake rooted stock ROM and after the upgrade my phone will not restart.

It sits at the static 'LG POWERED BY android' screen, has been over 10 minutes.

So I unplugged the USB and pulled the battery.

Restart also failed, so I restarted and erased all data and it still won't start.

Any ideas welcomed.

Ha, just as I hit Save Post the phone continued and has restarted, going thru set-up now...phew!
[G3 General] onetik:
This method only works if the firmware currently installed is older than the one which is available for the device. Good thing is, pc suite always seems to download the correct fw no matter what is currently installed.

lollipop firmware

hello. i am currently on lollipop 5.0 v20b(singapore) rooted using the one click root for lg g3 .the latestfirmware in singapore is v20c. am i able to unroot using this method for my g3?thanks
[G3 General] cheeze.keyk:
anyone tried this on lollipop?
[G3 General] jwilkers:
My G vista when I try the "restore upgrade errors" it says "latest version already installed"

Doing the unroot via the "superSU" unroot still fails the OTA updaye "test". Sucks. The Lollipop upgrade just pushed a couple weeks ago and I'm stuck :(
[G3 General] marantzpm55:

[G3 General] nicospanas:
Will this work if I have installed a custom recovery or will it try to boot from TWRP image? Thanks
[G3 General] Joskym:
I tried this on my D855 and obviously the phone got stuck in the update mode ahah

I used the TOT method : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2785089

It got me back to stock KK and then I updated again to Lollipop, and I got the last V20T on OTA (But I had to do a Cache Partition Wipe to install it, because it failed the first time).

In the above link, i first tried the KDZ method but it didn't worked, so I recommend the TOT method if you have bricked your phone trying to unroot. (BTW, you loose all the datas on the internal memory, so make a backup before trying to unroot)
[G3 General] vgs21:
Not working for me

I tried these steps long back but of no use. I'm having latest LG PC suite and 4.4.2 V10o-IND-XX Android version BUILD NUMBER KVT49LA1418283121. I'm from India with G3 D855 32GB version.

Thank you very much, worked 100% on LG G3 D855 32GB using LG PC Suite v5.3.25.20150529 on Windows 8.1 64bit.

It is important to note that by using this method the software automatically updates the phone version to the newest OTA one, so you don't need to update the phone software after the firmware update.

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamWeenie:
Hi all! I'm hoping I can get some help. I have a Kindle Fire HD 8.9 "Jem". I successfully rooted it the other day, and after switching laptops, finally was able to access fastboot on the computer and get the successful output. I followed the directions from this link:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277105. I got all the way through it successfully to the end of step 3 to reboot into TWRP. However, once I rebooted, I get a constant bootloop on the static Kindle Fire logo. No twrp (I put 2.7.0.0 on there, and checked to revert to 8.1.4, but based on what I have read, I MAY have forgot to check the box to load stack).

I found SRT tool from this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2011126 and used it to successfully get the Kindle to show fastboot on the screen. However, now I'm at a loss as how to continue. I made backups per the 2ndBL+Twrp thread but I have no idea how to proceed. Any assistance on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. I'm not very proficient in using the commands, but can follow the directions pretty well (or so I thought lol).

Thanks again for any guidance.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamWeenie:
Ok I got it back. I figured out I needed to open up a new command prompt in order to enter the fastboot flash commands and flash my backups on to it that I made following http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128175. Now going to try this again and hope to get TWRP and CM working on it this time around.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamWeenie:
UPDATE:

Okay, I'm now further than I have ever gotten before. I have successfully installed TWRP version 2.7.0.0, able to access it no problem. I installed CM11; I have tried both CM11 20140702-NIGHTLY-jem and CM11 20140504-SNAPSHOT-M6-jem. Before installing each one, I wiped system, cache and dalvik cache.

However, with each one, this is the problem I'm having. I am stuck at the cynogenmod boot screen (blue alien/android with the arrow circling). I have not been able to get past this. Is there any guidance that you all can offer me to get past this? When I saw that cynogenmod bootscreen pop up, I was so excited and relieved that I got past the blue kindlefire logo this time around, but am again deflated. I know I can boot back to rooted stock from my recovery files so it's not a total loss. I just so want to see it load up as android!!!

Thanks in advance...hope someone sees this. I didn't want to add another topic to the board, so the title doesn't reflect my current issue. So I hope that it'll get some answers. If I should make a new topic, please let me know. As my post count reflects, I am a newbie here. Thanks so much for all the hard work that you all do to help us!

Maybe you can give me a hand as you've recently gone through this:

tried the 2nd bootloader instructions and the '8.9 Flasher' zip found on these forums, but right now I'm just stuck at the kindle fire logo (not moving). I can get into fast boot, but don't know what to put in there to get me either back to stock, or into CM11.

I (like a fool) didn't make a backup (i used the flasher zip first, and neglected the backup option), so are there stock images out there I can use?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
When you restart your tablet do you see the blue KF splash screen? If you can you should be able to sideload a ROM onto TWRP.

If you can't get into TWRP then see this restore tool http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2011126 you can flash the images manual from the tool if you'd rather not run the bat. Choose option 3 if you do as that includes the recovery as well.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dopepope:
thanks for your reply

im still in the process of fixing everything, but I was able to move past where I was (stuck on static kindle fire logo) by using fastboot to push the stock boot.img, recovery.img from hashcodes post, and then using the system.img from onemeila's rescue post (also wiping the cache)

im still in the process because my KF did an OTA update (!>@#) while I was pushing other files to it, so I had to start over again.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iuno:
Hi,

I didn't find information about this yet. I am new to Android but never intended to use stock, so I bought the Z1c and flashed CM11. The only thing I miss are video recordings with 60 or even 120 FPS, as possible with stock firmware. Now, please correct me, if I am wrong. AFAIU it is not easily possible to port the stock camera because of the dependency of Sony's framework (even if I don't understand the difficulties about this and why nobody did it yet?). If I understood correctly, the drivers extracted blobs from stock-ROM, so it not being able to record videos with high frame rates is not an issue of the camera driver but of the camera app. I also didn't find an alternative camera app providing this functionality.

I read that Android L will bring much more possibilities to the camera API, so apps could be able to 'get the full performance of image sensors', as I read in some news article. It will be possible to take RAW images as well as setting the exposure time, aperture, fps etc manually, even if the device manufacturer wants to limit these functions. Do you see maybe a possibility to get high-speed recording with Android L based CM(12?)?
