I seem to get stuck after it completes the entire flash at the end it states something failed. Like literally at stage 100%. Then when the phone reboots it just says "Factory Reset Status 2" and does nothing else. D850 AT&T variant. Can someone help?

Flashing AT&T G3 back to factory settings

Question - how long should I expect this process to take? It seems to be stuck at 22% and has been going for the past 1900 seconds barely making any progress. Oh wait...the progress bar on my phone just went from a whopping 16 to 17%!!!! I guess it's working albeit super slowly??
[G3 General] kobbz:
Update # 2

Yeah... we're now at 6k seconds plus... and it's incremented what? 2%?? This cannot be right. Something's amiss - at this rate it's going to take the rest of the calendar year to complete.

In case you're wondering, my phone has incremented from 17 to 19%
[G3 General] serialtoon:
I had a ***** of a time getting it to work. I was using with does 8.1 and the lg flash software was incompatible. Broke out my windows 7 machine and competed everything in 2-3 minutes. For reference my windows 8.1 machine is custom build with a fresh install of windows maybe a week ago. No extra stuff installed. I took it as windows simply didn't like the software.
[G3 General] kobbz:
wow ... ok - thanks man. I think it might be too late though - I got impatient and yanked the damn thing off the device when it got to 25%. Mind you that was like 6hrs into the flash. Now it won't go into download mode. I'm permanently stuck on the screen showing "Do not disconnect your USB cable ... blah blah blah".

Annoying!!

I called AT&T and they're sending me a new one since it's only been like 3 days since I got it.
[G3 General] serialtoon:
I yanked it out at least 2 dozen times so I'm sure it's fine. Your phone is just stuck in download mode, which is good. I can pretty much guarantee that if you used a win 7 machine you can have it fixed in 3 minutes flat. Cool of AT&T to send you another one tho.

Hello from Portugal - Help with D855

Hello there

Just got my new BRAND NEW LG G3, which is a D855

But I don't now why, after a well succeeded root and image mod and a few hours of playing around with it, the LG just didn't survive a reboot.

It got stuck on a bootloop.

Now, the loop had stopped and it just stays on the LG Boot logo, LED flashing from blue to green...

I have tried everything I'v read but without success.

When I saw this thread and saw that you have made it with the D855 I smiled...

But I cannot flash the kdz...

Is there a TOT file for this?

Please.. help.

Thanks

[G3 General] MMarkkk:
Master reset with hardware keys

A master reset restores the original factory settings and may delete your personal data on the internal storage, such as downloaded content, ringtones, images, apps, and contacts. It does not delete data stored on the SIM card or SD card.

If the device menus are frozen or unresponsive, you can master reset using hardware keys. To perform a master reset, follow these steps:

1.	Back up all data on the internal memory.

2.	Power off the device and ensure it is not connected to any USB cables.

3.	At the same time, press and hold the following keys for 8 seconds:

•	Power key

•	Volume down key

4.	When the LG Logo is displayed, release and then immediately re-hold the Power key.

5.	When the 'FACTORY HARD RESET' screen displays, release the keys.

6.	Press the Power key to reset or one of the Volume keys to cancel.

7.	Press the Power key to confirm the reset. The reset will start immediately.

[G3 General] chinkster:
No I don't need it restored tonight. The reason why I need to do it is because after I rooted it, I keep getting this "vzwavsservice has stopped" popup after each reboot. Not sure what caused that. I used titanium backup and froze that and the popup hasn't came back since. But in the back of my mind, the popup still annoys me since it's making me think something is wrong with my phone. That's the reason why I want to do it. I guess I'm not in a real rush to do it but I just want to be ready with foolproof instructions so I don't screw up my phone even more.

how can i convert it to TOT format?

and how do you get this firmwares in tot format?

Thanks a lot.
[G3 General] droidrev71:
Here is my step by step I did to restore my verizon g3.

Downloaded the Flashtool and drivers (i already had the drivers installed from rooting) in the OP

Then clicke on HERE, in the OP to get my two files.

I created a new folder on my desktop and named it restore G3.

So for the verizon model i had 4 files. Drivers, Setup_LGFlashTool, LGVS985_20140620_LGFLASHv160_Download, and VS98510B_03.

Install drivers, extract setup_lgflashtool, LGVS985_20140620_LGFLASHv160_Download, and VS98510B_03.

Now in the Setup_LGFlashTool folder you need to run the Setup_LGFlashTool_1.8.6.527. Once I installed it I went to my (C: drive and opened my LG folder and replaced the MegaLock.dll with the one that came with the Setup_LGFlashTool.

Then enter download mode and change port to (com41)

Open the flash tool and check manual mode and the three dots by DLL click that and add LGVS985_20140620_LGFLASHv160.dll

click the add button and put the VS98510B_03.tot

Hit the yellow arrow then once it says ready unplug usb for 5 seconds and plug back in.

Then, as stated in the OP, once you see the BIG 3 on your phone unplug and do a battery pull.

Hope this helps

:)

[G3 General] Mistertac:
Question for you guys since I'm new to LG phones....

I understand how to use Flash Tool with the DLL and TOT files to restore and I've downloaded those files and set everything up just fine.

I see that you also can use a KDZ file along with Flash Tool 2014 . Where does one find the KDZ file? Is it from LG kind of like SamMobile.com or does someone have to create that file?

Also I see some saying it's more reliable to use the TOT method is that true?

Bricked D850

Hello.....so im having a bit of an issue when flashing the device. i actually succefully flashed it once but now the second time i cant. so what happening is that im in Download mode and i have it connected and the tool is recognizing it then it starts to flash. when its reaches 6% and its says" Change to Download mode" it fails after 15 sec. How can this be if the device is already in download mode!.

The first time i flashed it i was actually in the Homescreen when it began. the device actually booted into download mode. None of this is mention in any tutorial guide by the way

is there anyway to flash this. im bricked and i cant get into the OS so im think that im kinda screwed

any one has any suggestion

im using the 1.8.6.527 verison of the Tool

i think of going into recovery and seeing if that fixes anything but i cant figure how to get into recovery
[G3 General] llvllaster:

Or have any suggestions how I can get this to work? My G3 is recognized in device manager but only as adb/interface not COM as stated in this thread. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: to be honest, i didn't expect the update to complete, much more stay rooted after...
