Got a screenshot??
[AT&T LG G3] dcm1200:
Yes, I'll send u one. The crazy thing is though, I've done this once before with no issues. I believe was done through the lg site because I've looked at some of the pictures on your posts and I remember that clearly. Com41 and all. This is a new laptop running the newest windows version so I'm not sure if that's the issue. From the sounds of it it seems like I'm doing the steps wrong. I didn't run anything. I downloaded drivers, didn't run anything but when I got to step 7 where it said copy and paste the DLL to the flashtool the flashtool ran through its setup.
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
Flash tool doesn't run through setup... You open up flash tool after you copy the mega lock file.
[AT&T LG G3] dcm1200:
I can almost swear that's what I'm doing. As soon as I copy the megalock DLL and paste it to the flashtool it just starts running. Am I pasting it to the right place or should I be pasting it to the storagecow.EU link that I downloaded?
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
Just follow the guide completely and it'll work. Post a screenshot of the problem
[AT&T LG G3] dcm1200:
I feel so dumb even asking this question but at what point should my phone be plugged into laptop? I'm just trying to follow every step to a T. Pictures to follow if I get same error message
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
It doesn't matter. As long as your putting it in download mode and into a usb 2.0 port. You may have to unplug and replug is using tot method.
[AT&T LG G3] dcm1200:
heres the picture of everything ive done

I install the flashtool and don't run run it but when I copy the dll and paste it to the flashtool it start executing the file and running through setup wizard. I'm also not able to replace the existing dll file
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
[Guide] AT&amp;T LG G3 Back To stock

You DONT copy it on to flash tool! You put it in the folder with flash tool.
[AT&T LG G3] dcm1200:
im not seeing a folder with the flashtool.

All I am seeing is the setup flashtool application and when I click on the flashtool application to install and click the box to not run it I'm back to square one. I don't see a folder for the flashtool just the same setup_lgflashtool app.. Where do I put the dll?
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
You run the setup then you go to your C drive and flash tool will be there and you copy the dll file there.
[AT&T LG G3] dcm1200:
heres the latest pics

I found folder and pasted new dll in there and still got message you see for LG flashtool. I also tried deleting. The megalock.dll that was in the file but when I ran as admin it said megalock dll is not detected. In making progress man. Thank you so much. You have the patience of the Buddha and brains of einstein!
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
I see your problem in the screenshot:p. Your mega lock.dll file is not right. It has (1) beside it. Which is not supposed to be there.
[AT&T LG G3] dcm1200:
so..

I take it I need to dig into my laptop to find the original megalock dll and remove it?
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
No. You need to redownload the mega lock file and copy it in flash tool folder.. In your screenshot you can see that there's 2. You only supposed to have 1
[AT&T LG G3] dcm1200:
OK..

I thought I had to replace the existing DLL file in there because there was one when I originally check the file. Maybe that is the problem. Getting closer to a solution. Things are looking up!
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
Yes you do replace it.. But your not replacing it. Look in your screenshot. Your only adding another one. Your not replacing the actual "megalock.dll" file.
[AT&T LG G3] dcm1200:
ok

So once I copy and paste new dll file I just delete the existing one and i should be ready to go?
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
When you copy over the megalock file that you downloaded it will automatically replace it. But I see it has a 1 in the file name which is why it didn't replace it.
[AT&T LG G3] dcm1200:
Any ideas as to why there is a 1 by it? Have u ever seen that before?
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
Well it'll do that if you downloaded it more than once. Any file you download will be like that. Just remove the 1
[AT&T LG G3] dcm1200:
I'm surprised that there isnt a 10 by it then!

I've deleted and downloaded it so many times over the past few days it maddening!
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
Why is it so hard? You just rename it and take the 1 out of it.
[AT&T LG G3] dcm1200:
will try again tomorrow

I'll renamed remove the 1 and see how it goes. I've done this once before with no issues whatsoever. First time it went through without a single issue.:confused:
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
Well currently the issue is placing the file correctly in the folder at the moment. Once you fixed that it'll work :)
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
Did you ever get it figured out??
[AT&T LG G3] dcm1200:
nope

Went home and tried renaming the file to remove the 1 and placing into the flash folder and all it did was give me two dll folders in the flash folder. It didn't replace it it just gave me two and I'm still getting the LG u.s.b.parallel lock key not detected even after manually removing dll folder. Im ready to smash this piece of $!&* phone. Lg has been the worst android experience. Htc encouraged you to unlock bootloader and even had a site dedicated it. Granted, it wasnt easy unlocking botloader and rooting but atleast you could. I think its time to try out the new iphone 6s plus!:mad:
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
Your doing it wrong.. What your missing is simple and takes not even a second to fix. If you renamed it correctly you would just have one. I suggest you make sure it's named correctly with no spaces in the file name.
[AT&T LG G3] dcm1200:
ok

I was able to rename it one time and when i pasted it into the folder where the flashtool was it didnt remove the other one. I made sure there were no spaces as well. I tried doing it where i removed the other dll file manually. It didnt work. I ran the flashtool as an admin with the new dll in the folder after removing the dll file that was in there and i got the message that the dll file is missing. Then i open the properties of the megalock file and clicked hidden option under attributes and the file disapearred. I tried running it again as an admin. Same message. Dll file not found. Still getting lgusb parallel port not detected. Trying again tonight when i get home from work. Did a sys restore on laptop to remove any files that ive downloaded over the past few days to see if that works. I know its a simple fix man but i swear im following the directions precisely.

Like I said above your still doing it wrong.... I don't think your understanding correctly. Empty your download folder... Redownload the megalock dll file, then copy it into the flash tool folder. If you do this it will work

Download teamviewer and pm me the info and I'll do it remotely for you.

My plan is to flash Autoprime's stock rom.. use flashify to flash stock recovery.. run supersu unroot & say done.. stock enough..
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
Just follow the guide and flash it back to stock.
[AT&T LG G3] jaladhjin:
Trouble is that's considerably more involved than my plan.

And with a stock flashable zip no connecting to computer needed.
[AT&T LG G3] riceboyler:
Let me share some notes from my nearly day-long ordeal largely caused by my own mistakes.

1. Whatever you do, when you install the LGFlashTool, and the first screen comes up, DO NOT CHANGE THE DEFAULT SETTING. I did, thinking I knew better. The problem is, that setting goes in the registry, and it doesn't matter how many times you uninstall and reinstall the application, it will not prompt you again. I even searched the registry and couldn't find it. Leave it on the top radio button and click OK.

2. Don't be like me and think you know better and change the settings of the COM port in Device Manager (increasing the throughput from 9600 to 57600). It will cause you tears.

3. As has been said before, use a computer with known good USB 2.0 ports. My Lenovo laptop has 2 2.0 and 2 3.0 ports, and they (unfortunately) are identical looking (unlike my desktop where the 3.0 ports are blue). When I finally gave up and moved to the desktop, it was literally a 15 minute flash and I was back to stock, mostly because I did it the right way this time.

Finally, if you run into problems (like I did) and get the boot certification errors, this thread has a very helpful tool (http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/unbrick-lg-g3-qhsusbbulk-qualcomm-9008-t3072091) though the English there is suspect. I used this post (http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/fix-unbrick-lg-g3-stuck-qualcomm-hs-usb-t2933853) to actually read through how to get out of that situation.

One note that isn't in those instructions that I found is that you want to "try" to put it into Download Mode even if you're getting the boot certification error, because that will allow it to be seen in the Device Manager. As long as it can be seen in DM, you can get it reset and do what you need to do.

Huge thanks to the OP (hyelton), as this thread was a lifesaver. I did notice that the links in the first post for the FlashTool and MegaLock.dll seem to be dead. I found different links in your G2 thread and they worked perfectly.

Unable to get back

I have accidentally flashed my lg g3 d850 at@t. Now i am trying to restore my phone back through lg flash tool. but i have problems with flashing when it reaches 82% and the phone restarts. flash tool ended with a massage "Fail to get Mini OS Status. Fail!!! Factory_BootComplete() 00000064. Error: Fail! .". The cell phone restarts again and again just showing me LG logo nothing else. need help.....plz
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
Well firstly, ANYTHING past 80% its done flashing, It will almost always "fail" thats normal.

Are you flashing the D850 TOT file correct? Also have you tried choose board_id instead of normal in flashtool?
[AT&T LG G3] Abbas130:
Unable to get back

I have used this TOT file "LGG3/ATT/BIN_LGD850AT-01-V10d-310-410-JUN-19-2014-0.zip"

along with this dll file " LGG3/ATT/LGD850_20140613_LGFLASHv160.dll".

i also select board dll instead of upgrade dll option in flash tool. But if i select board method dll the error message is "FBoot Fail".

Now my phone is on boot loop. i also done factory rest..any solution????
[AT&T LG G3] mrhaley30705:
Use a usb 2.0 port on the back of the computer.
[AT&T LG G3] sobitthen:
The BIN in root directory in this link you posted, or one from inside Lollipop folder?

So far I downloaded the V10D from the root of the directory you linked, I did not go into other folder...

Is this what was being referenced as the required TOT needed?

thanks.
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
Yes V10D is the TOT file you extract the zip and get the TOT :)
[AT&T LG G3] sobitthen:
Ok used that file, it ran with utility, said to click the line at end of the refurbishing, did so, clicked exit on bottom.

Computer will see phone, but it does not wake up, will not boot, nothing on screen, unsure what to do now, help...:confused:
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
Are you putting the phone into download mode? and using a USB 2.0 port?
[AT&T LG G3] sobitthen:
I did everything that was stated on the page that was given to me, it did not tell me to enter any download mode during that process.

Your instructions said this: "Start LGUP on your computer "make sure your phone is plugged in""

It did not say enter download mode, this was done while phone was up and running, am I SOL, if so lost my job..
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
Download mode is the only way that things get flashed. If your using LGUP you have your phone turned on with USB debugger mode on and when starting the phone will boot into download mode. But if your phone wont boot then you manually put it into download mode.
[AT&T LG G3] sobitthen:
I had USB debugging turned on, phone was on, started this LGUP tool, selected the file, clicked start, let it do its thing, then red line on top said done click here, I clicked there, then clicked exit bottom of app, now phone does not turn on...

So there was a step that was not mentioned in the link you provided?

---------- Post added at 12:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 AM ----------

No combination of power up or down will wake up this phone, pulling battery does nothing, windows will see phone with either battery in or not in, can hear music it makes when connecting a device, but the phone will not turn on after using this LGUP tool.
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
I do not think your understanding what I am saying. If you had USB debugging on and phone was on, if it flashed then it automatically went into download mode.

What do you mean does not turn on? What was your reason for flashing? Whats your model? You have a D850 correct?
[AT&T LG G3] sobitthen:
After this LGUP process ran and completed, the phone is dead, there is nothing, no onscreen desktop, no ability to enter recovery, nothing... Yes D850 it had the D85030K OTA on it when I bought it yesterday.
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
Sounds like its hard bricked then :( , No one else has ever had that issue, except for flashing wrong model firmware or had a D850PR
[AT&T LG G3] sobitthen:
I am at a loss, unsure if this thing can be brought back from the dead or not...
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:

So glad found those LGE files to recover from hard brick, thanks for putting up with me.. edited out the drama, I was up late and worried...

Other Devices QHSUSB_BULK what about this?

Saw some post about shorting some test points or running some script about unbricking phones, or is this different?

Didn't mean to bash, just watch video linked and he added file under upgrade, closed app, opened app, and then chose refurbish, saw that as only difference between what you had posted and what the video showed... wondered if that was reason it failed, even though it said it succeeded...
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
Sorry no clue when it comes no power on the device haven't really had many like that in my hands. Check out that link above.

There's no difference people have to choose upgrade first sometimes or it won't let them choose a kdz file or vice versa that doesn't have anything to do with flashing the device just being able to choose the file.

Progress is good..

Hey man, I have a question for you?

I returned to stock 5.0 lollipop, I am on the At&t D850, when I wanted to go back to stock, the only forum I found was your forum and for that D850PR KDZ file. I am currently on the D850PR rom and I don't want that, I want to be on the official D850 AT&T software. When I went in and tried to downgrade to 4.4 KitKat from AT&T with the .TOT method, it told me that the S/W versions didn't match. My question is, how can I get back to stock AT&T firmware now, considering I have the PR version installed? I'm lost. I can't find a stock AT&T KDZ lollipop firmware anywhere. You stated before that AT&t is all .TOT, so now what do I do?

Any help you be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, man.
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
You would have to flash Kitkat. There has never been anything newer. To have newer you have to have an AT&T sim and OTA update from kitktat. Since you’ve flashed the PR firmware it’s gonna be tricky to get back to AT&T firmware.

Your going to have to either use a hex editor on the kitktat tot to change it to D850PR so flashtool will flash it. Or you might be able to find a workable DLL file that will allow you to go back
[AT&T LG G3] Excavator2015:
All I want is to get TWRP reflashed again. I have my backups of the rom I was on previously saved to my SD card. If I can get TWRP working again, I might be ok, I can then restore my backup and all should be good. But I tried to flash TWRP last night thru flashify, but it didn't stick when I went to reboot, it hung on the blue and red lights. Then I just restarted the phone, and it booted back into this system. Is there a way I can get a non kingroot, root flashed and my TWRP back up and running? Maybe a workaround?

I don't know what to do.
[AT&T LG G3] Excavator2015:
Hey Hyelton,

Just had a quick question, can I update to the D850PR 30v and use the KitKat tot file to restaore back to the At&t stock KitKat? Mansoor, in his thread, said his 30v KDZ(or is it the DLL file, forgot which one he said exactly, one of the two) doesn't look for the model when flashing? Would that be an option? Just .tot back to At&t KitKat from there?
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
Updating will not change anything. The DLL file is what may decide to allow flashing. Theres a seperate DLL in the OP for that. But it wont hurt to try any DLL file like the one you mentioned.
[AT&T LG G3] Excavator2015:
Ok, sounds good man. Do you know what forum I'm talking about though?
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
If its the thread about flashing the PR version then yes. I've prob posted there in the past :)
[AT&T LG G3] Excavator2015:
Yes, the PR 20v and 30v. So do you think the DLL file will work? I'm hoping it will! I just want to be able to get my TWRP and root back, and restore my backups. Luckily they're on my SD card, when I had to go back to stock from a brick before, it was saved to the internal storage. Lol.
[AT&T LG G3] Excavator2015:
The LG ROMs site to download the D850 30A file, is down. I don't know how to get that file now. I did see that his DLL file that mansoor uses is different than what I used to flash the PR version. I noticed I had a completely different DLL file.
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
Just use the dll file with the kitkat tot and see if it works, dll file wise it’s not going to hurt to try. Only need to worry about the firmware your flashing (correct model)

Also there’s no D850 30A. Only D850PR 30A which is also in the OP firmware links which works just fine . http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/D850PR+MM/

That’s why I host all of the LG files I’ve gotten on my server the links are never gurenteed from LG
[AT&T LG G3] Excavator2015:
Do you have that file? I mean for the D850PR 30A? Because the site he has it going to is something like "lg-firmware.com. Or something like that. So I can just use the DLL file from D850 KitKat? If I copy that and put that in the LG flash tool folder, you think that will work ok? So can I just go from where I'm at, and flash the KitKat tot? Or will it still say that the S/W versions don't match?

I do have the stock LGD850AT-01-V10d-310-410-JUN-19-2014 file on hand. How do I extract that DLL file, just go in and copy the DLL file to LG flash tool?

I did have the DLL file extracted from the BIN zip file for V10d, it's LGD850_20140613_LGFLASHv160.dll

Not sure if that's the problem or not, maybe using the DLL file that Mansoor will work, all it says is LGUP_8974.dll. What do you think would be best in my case?
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
The post you quoted I linked the file :p it’s also in the first post of this guide.

No you would Choose the dll file in flash tool when you choose the firmware. You only use the megalock dll in the flashtool folder. Yes the LGUP dll is a generic dll you would choose that when selecting the tot file. That file is also in this guide :p that’s the dll to use (and hope works) when flashing with mismatched model firmware.
