Wifi no longer working after 20B update

I successfully flashed the update in TWRP, but now WiFi won't turn on anymore. When I am on the WiFi page and switch to on, no networks show up and after a while the slider will revert to OFF.

I have since restored a TWRP backup from 10R, but there the radio doesn't work (even though WiFi does); I get a "Service disabled" message.

Other things I have tried: separately flashing the respective modems on the 10R and 20B releases, without success.

Does anybody have any idea what to do?

Will KDZ wipe all data? Like sd card ..

And i hear you man i can't get R to work again. About to try KDZ PUT it back on but need to make sure not going to delete everything or gotta back it all up.
[T-Mobile LG G3] huntnyc:
Do not mean to double post but I think I put this in the wrong thread.

Have run into trouble. Was on KDZ 20b andwent back to KDZ 10r, got system update message, downloaded and installed but ran into System UIDs inconsistent message, totally unstable. Do not know what to do now but if nothing works, will try to go back to KDZ 20b because at least my phone was working. Any help appreciated and thnaks much.

Did go back to KDZ 20b and all seems well. Thanks for work OP. Again any input on why this happened and what else I could have done to solved it would be appreciated. Never have rooted this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G3] enzodad:
Does using KDZ wipe storage?
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Depends on what option you pick. I would suggest you read the guide before and during the flash.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
sounds like you just had a bad update flash, happens sometimes. Happy to see you're up and running again.
[T-Mobile LG G3] huntnyc:
Again due to your wonderful guide, all is working and thanks again.

Can you rephrase that? Also what version of windows are you on and is it 32 or 64?
[T-Mobile LG G3] enzodad:
Sorry~

Im on windows 7 64Bit......

I downloaded all files mentioned

Ran LGtool2014 as admin and put phone in download mode and when it gets to part where it is supposed to upgrade firmware it fails. it gets to about 2-3% and stops. THe phone shows 0% entire time

Trying to KDZ D851R
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Odd it should work on 7 64. Maybe try a couple more times, I know people have got it to eventually work.
[T-Mobile LG G3] enzodad:
Okay~ I'll try a few more times. I followed instructions for KDZ exactly- even having KDZ file in LGtool folder i tried it 3 times. Ill try a few more

Sorry im a pain in butt-Just Unicron roms Modem is pretty bad for me i flashed every modem i could find with 0 improvement. With the D851R rom i had super stable and fast modem on LTE and tether worked without issue.

i wanted to be on D851B but i cant get it to connect to LTE--
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Just as a clarification did you try the 20b zip I made? With a full wipe it should get lte just fine.
[T-Mobile LG G3] enzodad:
Heres attached Pic what it says..i just tried it 5 more times
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Sorry man the cracked kdz program just dislikes some computer builds. Did you try to restart the pc and try again?
[T-Mobile LG G3] enzodad:
Restarted PC/Phone Tried KDZ D851R/B file not one will work.....TOT works but only D851C
[T-Mobile LG G3] enzodad:
guess it really dosent matter anyway....no primetether working from what i hear so have to use AOSP or one with built in
[T-Mobile LG G3] G3Andrew:
So does flashing the stock restore zip file DO THE SAME THING as Using the LG Flash Tool to factory hard reset?

I have TWRP and root installed, I want to make the phone like it came from the FACTORY, like a brand new phone WITH NO ROOT OR TWRP. TWRP Zip File flash OR flash tool on PC?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Papote3:
Both methods will work,

I would use the twrp method since you already have custom recovery. . This method would leave you completely stock if you don't flash recovery or supersu
[T-Mobile LG G3] acefsw:
Wanted to say thanks. The stock zip worked perfectly to restore stock in order to take the OTA. Thanks.

FYI, for those who want root after OTA, I used One Click Root http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951 and it worked the first time using Windows 10.

Thanks again, great work
[T-Mobile LG G3] enzodad:
installed windows tried many times again and this is all i get when trying to kdz R
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
I don't know what to tell you, it works for me even on 8.1 x64. Not to many people run into the problem where they cant get it to work at all so I don't have the answers. You could go to the thread for the tool, its under the credits part of the kdz method. Do you have a efs backup of before the lollipop update? If so you will be able to run pre lollipop roms without issue if you restore it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] huntnyc:
I see that screen on my Windows 7 laptop and just Click OK and the flash process completes for me.

device model is different! error

For those that have spent hours or days on end trying to fix your G3 because the device model is different. Here is the solution:

xdaforums.com/sprint-g2/general/dll-to-bypass-lg-flash-tool-model-check-t2990665

I stupidly copied over my build.prop file from my old samsung phone to my new G3 phone. needless to say, i didnt have twrp nor cwm installed so i felt all the pain and suffering from losing all my data. i tried the many ways to get my phone back online. but this seemed to be the only way to get my phone to work. suffice to say, I'll be more care next time around.

[T-Mobile LG G3] enzodad:
OKay no matter what i do NO proper drivers are installed. WIndwows says they are but not becuase this is BS and mtp or what ever is never installed. i hve 0 internet i use phone for tether and eve LG tool wont download them lol WTF any one have driver LGD851TN

i even got this error on a different windows install

so i selected tol and setup and still nothing.. ANYONE know how to revert to R ---KDZ wont work for me on win 7 home premium 64 or Enterprise 64 TOT works but only C and cant upgrade C becuase the phone stops working properly. its like after i update C modem and everything breaks
[T-Mobile LG G3] enzodad:
THe stock 20B rom you provided, can we tether with it or is there a work around?
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Nothing has been changed in it at all, stock tether should work but I haven't had the need to test it yet. I don't keep up with mods anymore so no clue about workarounds.
[T-Mobile LG G3] enzodad:
OKay thanks- i tried every thing i could think of..even TOT C thats not working now...im stuck with B and i hate CM/asop roms so flashed your stock 20B--- Unbelievable that i cant wipe phone back to stock-
[T-Mobile LG G3] enzodad:
So i spent 6 hours trying to get my pho e to work. Every rom wouldnt hold connection and ever rom like CM12 etc would crash/bluscreen on first boot and have to try again. After many hours of yelli g and swearig im back on C( fuc$) and modem holding but randomly cuts off.

I tried stock B and worked okay but tether and over all network speed was that of 3G was horrible. I tried flashing c/m/r/b modems and nothing worked at all wouldnt even connect...

Im really funding it hard to understand how i cant wipe entire phone and have a clean slate and go back to R or even use B and have a modem actully work.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
You dont want to wipe your efs partition, if you did that you would be sol. The efs partition is where your problems are and its probably from activating volte. Tell you what I'll try somthing and pm you if I can or cannot help.
[T-Mobile LG G3] enzodad:
Thanks i appreciate it. Im screwed right now...i got C working but modems shutting off randomly. About to see which will win in a fight my phone or my 2ton suv.

i i went from 20b cloudy 2.2 to 10c as that was the only TOT i could fins ( kdz wasnt working for me ) so im back on 10c everything works although data or getting a signal in general took about 5 mins then i flash Skydragon 1.1.0 which is 10r based i get no signal or connection it just keeps on refreshing sreach for signal then has an x over the bars repeat repeat i tried going back to skydragons 0.0.5 build which is 10c but same issue i also can get the aosp roms to like stay like itlll bott up but then after 4 secs or so itll just black screen and its not off i just have to pull out the battery to start it up again ( any ideas? )
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Bluntly, your stuck on 20b unless you have a efs backup from before lollipop.
[T-Mobile LG G3] thelgog:
no im on 10r right now but using a efs backup from 10c which data worked on, on 10r but data goes out every now and then and i have to flash the efs backup from 10c and itll be fins for like 30 mins or so
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
So thats a 10c efs backup from before you updated? Not a tot from 20b to 10c then make the efs? Just so we are on the same page the efs backup must be from before you updated otherwise it will still be tainted.
[T-Mobile LG G3] rsa 329:
I don't know if this would work for you, but it worked perfect for me.

I upgraded to 20b, long story short couldn't send or receive mms so I flashed back to 10r. Had the signal issue you are having. I maintained my twrp recovery though after down grading. Formatted data within twrp 5x's, factory reset 5x's and finally advanced wiped everything but external sd and otg 5x's. Flashed 10r again without root or twrp flash and worked perfect. After all that was done, I rooted and flashed twrp. Back up and running 10r. I personally think lollipoop is right up there with gingerbread and windows vista.

Anyways, hope this works for you.

sir you are a gentleman and a scholar lol thanks so much for the help!!!!:fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile LG G3] bluegreenandroid:
When going back to 10r did you have an EFS backup from before lollipop? My experience is same as everyone else's. After flashing the 20b modem only lollipop roms will work for me so in order to get KitKat back I used the 10c tot to downgrade. Now my phone gets signal and data and is rooted via PurpleDrake, I can't flash the 10m or 10r roms without the phone constantly searching for signal. I had found a thread containing the modems for each build but, its no use it doesn't fix the issue.

If you didn't have that EFS backup then I would being willing to try what you did. I want to keep running KitKat for awhile longer due to how LG handled lock screen notifications. I really liked the idea of double tapping to open notifications but LG decided to keep their tap and swipe method.

Hi,

After the update to lollipop, google hangouts app is force closing intermittently when making a video call.

Please let me know if anybody else is facing the same issue.

thank you
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
If you didn't do a factory reset give that a try. I had odd problems before a factory reset.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Well I just successfully used the kdz to unroot on my win 8.1 x64 So I can jump tomorrow. It worked after the 3rd time and it gave me the failure to connect to server window. If you just ignore the window it should keep working just leave it open. Obviously ymmv , it might work the first time or the thirtieth time. I know this has been said before I just wanted everybody to know nothing has changed. Just a FYI I will still be making the twrp flashables, just wont be able to test them myself.

hey folks, i'm way rusted at this point, need some help, my Lg G3 T Mobile phone is on 20b, unrooted, hate it and want to get it back to KK which was way more stable, can't find a link or tutorial to root it over Linux, does anyone have a clue or link to help me, Thank you very much.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Do you have a twrp backup with efs from before you updated? If you dont have that efs backup your stuck on 20b unless you dont care about being disconnected from the network all the time.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Still_living714:
so ive gotten myself into a pickle here. i dont have twrp and i cant go into download mode, only fastboot. is there a way to fix download mode? gotta send my phone back to t mobile .:rolleyes:
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Look up some fastboot tutorials. After you do that download one of my twrp zips in the op, preferably the last one you were on and extract it. From that point fastboot push every image to the proper partition on the phone. If you still have problems I think auto prime has the whole boot stack linked on a thread. If pushing that still doesn't get you at least to download mode you might need to claim insurance.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Still_living714:
have searched and tried how to push twrp using fastboot and so far i havent found any good tutorials....
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
No no, you push the image files that are inside the zip. It has nothing to do with twrp other than the fact you are harvesting the files from a twrp zip located in the op and or the boot chain auto prime has somewhere.

*edit*

Look into how to push the system.img via fastboot. It will look a lot like adb commands. Make sure you use the partition paths for the g3. If you can figure out how to fastboot push the system you will know how to do every partition.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Still_living714:
sir you are awesome. i got adb set up, it recognizes my phones serial. when i try to push the twrp img it says waiting for device and nothing happens...any advice?
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Yeah you need to use fastboot. They operate similar but they are not the same.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Still_living714:
after spending all night trying to fix this to no avail im almost at my end. Fastboot wont recognize my phone only adb. i installed the drivers and still nothing....:confused:
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Let's hope this means it's a pc problem and not your phone. Try different USB ports or a different pc all together. Maybe download mode will work after all? By the way what did you do to your phone? Flash a wrong kernel or something?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Still_living714:
no tried all ports and nothing. went from 20b to kitkat but forgot to flash twrp and su. once i noticed i forgot i tried to go to download mode to install twrp but it went straight to fastboot lol fml
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Well if you can get into the system I know a root program is floating around for g3 on 5.0. After rooted you can use twrp manager to get twrp then do whatever you need to do to fix download mode with twrp. When in doubt adb should work in twrp but you should be able to find the whole boot stack in a flashable zip some where.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Still_living714:
yeah i got all the files i need like lag.img etc... the problem is that adb wont push the files(waiting for device) and fastboot doesnt even recognize my phone. i have a feeling maybe the drivers are messed but i can copy files from my pc and phone and adb recognizes my phone. so its hard to pinpoint whats going wrong.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Still_living714:
when typping command adb reboot bootloader it reboots the phone normally and not into fastboot...
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
That could be a lg thing viewing it needs to be plugged into a pc to get onto download mode, normal reboot bootloader may not work. I think your best bet is to root, use twrp manager to get twrp and flash the 20b bootstack auto prime has. If you do that and still no download mode it's either your pc or your phone is just messed up. chances are it is the pc.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Still_living714:
dont i need to access download mode in order to root?
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Depends, I have no clue of the root process for the g3 on 5.0
[T-Mobile LG G3] Still_living714:
im on kitkat
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Oh I thought you said 20b
[T-Mobile LG G3] Still_living714:

Wait if you can boot into your OS just use this for root:

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951

Then get flashify to get TWRP and your done.

Since your other thread you started I didn't realize you can still boot your OS.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Yeah I was under the same impression until this morning or afternoon can't remember.

Thanks for pointing him in the right direction.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Still_living714:

So after being frustrated with the stock rooted 20b, I tried to downgrade back to 10r via KDZ and have no cell reception. Is the TOT method more reliable for this? I attempted to restore the 20b bootstack and then my backup, but all I get is a home crash. So I'm downloading the 10r untouched, 20b untouched, and the 20b kdz just so I can try to get service again.
[T-Mobile LG G3] dysfunkshun:
Well, the 10r untouched gave me no signal again. The 20b won't boot and I can no longer even get into download mode. fml
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Happy to hear you figured it out! Think you could help dysfunkshun out since you were in almost the same position?

Right after I hit submit reply I will edit the op to say it is not a good Idea to downgrade from 20b.
[T-Mobile LG G3] dysfunkshun:
So basically, I'm screwed....
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
I'm about to go to bed but if you write in detail what is happening someone might help before I wake up.
[T-Mobile LG G3] dysfunkshun:
Not a whole lot to it. I had issues on the stock rooted 20b so I attempted to downgrade back to 10r. It worked, booted just fine, but I had no signal whatsoever. So I re rooted, installed twrp and attempted to restore the 20b bootstack followed by by nandroid, and it would boot, but I got Home crashes and had to reboot to recovery. I attempted to install the 20b twrp untouched backups and now I can no longer get into download mode, it flashes download mode for about 5 seconds then attempts to boot again. At this point, all that happens is it goes to the tmo screen and freezes. No access to recovery and no access to download mode.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Yeah, I have no idea how you can get out of that pickle. since you see download mode for a few seconds I doubt all hope is lost, you sure the battery is charged up?
[T-Mobile LG G3] dysfunkshun:
Battery was at 100% before I started anything. I doubt its any less than 90% by now
[T-Mobile LG G3] dysfunkshun:
Tried using this http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/general/tool-unbrick-lg-g2-qualcomm-9008-board-t3072073 and I can't fully understand what to do, I keep getting serial port open failed. Guess its time to take it back and see what can be done....
[T-Mobile LG G3] Still_living714:
OK so your phone will still boot right? Can you still use your phone for like surfing the Web?
[T-Mobile LG G3] dysfunkshun:
No, the phone will not boot up, it goes to the tmo splash screen and freezes. If I try to go to download mode, it flashes download mode for about 5 seconds and then tries to boot again, so I pull the battery.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Still_living714:
if you can't get it to boot up or go into download/fastboot then there's nothing you can do to fix it. If you have warranty do that. I think the deductible is $175

KDZ Method Bootloader Restore

When using the KDZ method, will restoring a KK ROM, e.g., 10R, completely overwrite a previously flashed 20B ROM, and particularly the bootloader?

Would flashing a 10R bootloader after using the KDZ method make any sense?

Reason I ask is my belief that 20B has totally borked WiFi and Bluetooth streaming.
[T-Mobile LG G3] hyelton:
Yes
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
If you downgrade from 20b you will have cell network issues unless you have a efs backup from before you updated. wifi and Bluetooth streaming worked fine on 20b for me, did you try a factory reset? I had lots of problems until after I did a factory reset.
[T-Mobile LG G3] docfreed:
I do not have an EFS backup. I was planning to revert to 10R, followed by rooting, installing TWRP and then flashing the 10R

bootloader. Are you saying that I will still have network issues with that combo?

I may be better off flashing autoprime's 20B followed by a factory reset - what do you think?
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Correct, the network problem appears to be in the efs partition. I have a 20b twrp file in the op that gave me 0 problems after a factory reset but autoprimes shouldn't be much different. I know there is a odd ball way of flashing a rom (sorry can't remember what rom) then dirty flashing 20b on top of it to fix the 20b problems that I never experienced.
[T-Mobile LG G3] docfreed:
It looks like the best thing to do is flash root, install TWRP, flash your TWRP bootloader followed by the rest of autoprime's files, factory reset and profit?

Thanks for your help
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Auto prime has the bootloader stack linked on one of his threads, mine only flashes one part of the stack (rpm). If you did a KDZ to 20b you already have the most up to date bootloader so you could try a factory reset first and go from there.
[T-Mobile LG G3] docfreed:
OK, I'll try that
