If I have TWRP installed will this method still work? Sorry if this was answered earlier. I skimmed the topic and didn't see any answer. Thanks.

Help initiating the flash

Hi, thanks so much for the guide! I'm stuck at Step 20:

"After you reconnected your device you'll notice the flashing process begins as indicated by the progress bar. It could take a while so just hang tight and keep an eye on the progress."

**When I plug my phone back in, nothing happens in the LG Flash tool or on the phone.** No "Waiting for Connection," no status bar, etc.

Background:

1. I've meticulously followed all the steps

2. LG Flash tool got to the "READY!!" screen

3. I can tell by both the sound and by the Device manager that my phone is being recognized when I plug and unplug.

4. I just got the phone new yesterday and stupidly installed the V6 OTA thinking that stumproot was invincible!

My unique situation:

1. I'm on a Macbook pro running VMWare and Windows Vista (from what I've read I don't think this would be a problem but who knows).

2. I've tried both USB ports (but they're both 3.0, I hear 2.0 might work better)

3. I've tried two different usb cords, the one that came with the phone and another high-quality one, both brand new.

4. I've varied the amount of time I wait after unplugging the phone.

5. I've even started LG Flash and gotten to the ready screen with the phone never plugged in, THEN plugged in and booted into download mode....made no difference.

So, it seems like LG Flash Tool is completely not recognizing the phone, even though Windows is. Any thoughts?

I will try to get on a real Windows machine but was really hoping to get this working on my mac and am hoping that's not the problem. But I haven't seen anyone else post this specific problem.

Thanks!!!

EDIT: I rebooted my VM Ware and tried again and it worked like a charm! Thanks so much!!!!

Will this downgrade ZV6 to ZV4?
[Sprint LG G3] fergie716:
Yes
[Sprint LG G3] Crossvxm:
Any mirrors for the .tot download? Ive always had problems with the currently provided website as download speeds fluctuate and after 30% of a huge download it stops working.

Not to mention i have to download it on my mobile devices because I use an older laptop who's maximum download limit is 350kb per second.

Mega would be fine. Regardless if possible or not, thanks in advance.

LG Drivers Link

Hi,

I was trying to download all files as described and when I click the LG Drivers link in 1st page, files no longer there message appears.

Do I need this file? or will Windows 7 search for the drivers automatically?

Thanks,
[Sprint LG G3] fergie716:
The file must have been removed, however if you do a search for LG G3 Windows Driver you will find the exe you need. Or if someone may be so kind as to upload their copy to Dropbox and share it that would be fantastic, I'll do it tomorrow if you can wait

Thanks for pointing it out
[Sprint LG G3] panamaniac:
Yes it should—this worked for me running Windows XP Professional (though I was on a virtual machine).

Any help is appreciated.

If you call Sprint or go in to a store, they'll give it to you. Sprint is the most root friendly carrier out there. Just tell them why you need it if they ask. They don't care.

Anybody have the drivers? The file is gone from the link in the op.

[Sprint LG G3] penone1130:
When I open the LG Flash Tool I get an error that says Wrong .dll file.

It does let me continue but not sure if I should.
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
I'm pretty sure that's addressed in the OP and in every five posts between there and here.
[Sprint LG G3] IlluminaTimmy:
In the flashtool folder was a megalock.dll file. Replace the one in the folder in your lg folder under c: drive.

Roll back from Lollipop?

I tried using this method on a Sprint Ls990 today and I kept getting a IMEI error I should have wrote it down. Is there something I need to do to roll back from lollipop so I can root this phone for a friend? I used this exact method and files to do it for my other friend with the exact phone but they were on Zv6 not Zv8 is this possible or was a anti rollback put in Zv8? Thanks?
[Sprint LG G3] vutruonghainam:
hello, My device: LS990

I flashed tot file is fail

Now, my device LG logo bootloop, cant enter to downloadmode and recovery, anybody help me? thanks very much :(

Sorry, my english very bad
[Sprint LG G3] Crossvxm:
You need to charge it. Make sure it is COMPLETELY powered down by removing the battery and charge it for A GOOD WHILE.

And no need to worry about your English, feel free to use Google Translate and we can try to understand :)
[Sprint LG G3] br0adband:
I know this will sound a bit ridiculous but, flame me if you want for not reading more info before deciding to go back to stock - I didn't realize the point where I'm now stuck was not something I could just skip or anything. ;)

Anyway, I acquired a busted LG G3 LS990 earlier today with a typical "spider-web" crack in the digitizer rendering it about 75% useless. The section that's still responding to touch is in the lower right quadrant so obviously it's a chore just using it for the time being. I decided - after plugging in a mouse using the OTG cable I have - to go all the way back to factory stock condition (ZV4) and of course everything worked as expected until that next-to-next-to-last step where the AAT Mini OS thing comes up.

Of course, with the luck I have (never fails) the point where you hold Power and tap Normal works fine and I get the pop-up - unfortunately that's where I'm dead in the water as the "OK" button is like 1/8" of an inch on the side of one of the cracks where the digitizer has no response meaning I can't actually press "OK" to get it to reboot out of the Mini OS into the actual stock ROM. :(

So I'm stuck with a fully clean flashed G3 now and can't get it to boot into the OS unless someone has some workaround for me to attempt. The mouse doesn't work in that mode so that's useless, and I've pressed hard enough to try and get the digitizer to just give me a tap one time and it's just not happening.

I'll live, of course, but it could be a few weeks before I can order a new display assembly. Was hoping to get it functional enough once more to be useful as a media player given I can rotate the device around to get the control buttons recognized. It's crap but I got the G3 for $50, couldn't pass it up.

If anyone has any advice other than the obvious stuff of me being a bonehead and not just leaving it alone on ZV6 where it was I'm open to suggestions... :D
[Sprint LG G3] LordLugard:
So close, yet so far away.

Followed the instructions to a T and yet i'm getting an error message at the last step it seems. Tried different USB cables, both .dll files, no dice. My G3 is not modified in any way, straight out of the box stock and virginal. Any thoughts?
[Sprint LG G3] TechShui:
Has anyone had this happen?

Yes, I've been struggling with this for about a week! Even started my own thread here.

When I try the whole process on a different PC, I get a completely different problem: CRC check fails in LG Tool, even downloaded Wolfgart's ZIP version gives a CRC error after unzipping (see pic)

[MENTION=952751]LordLugard[/MENTION] what's your build? ZV6 right?

There must be something unique about your model and mine... if we put our heads together maybe we can figure this out. Let's start with the device information. Please share as much as you can
[Sprint LG G3] LordLugard:
I get the same errors on both of my devices. One is ZV6 and the other is already on ZV8 (5.0).

Downloaded and redownloaded the tot file numerous times just in case, double and triple checked everything, no dice.
[Sprint LG G3] TechShui:
Again, we should compare notes about the devices themselves.

I have a hypothesis: Certain LG G3 LS990, especially the ones manufactured more recently, might have a different motherboard and require a different TOT

Let's post the serial and full software rev
[Sprint LG G3] LordLugard:
At this point, i'm just tired of this phone, putting it up for sale and going back to my Moto X 2013.

Factory REset Status 2

Hi Friend, Thank you for your thread. I have a problem, Restore completed 100% and reboot, when show MiniOS I press Power Buttom all time and nothing do, and next time show Factory Reset Status 2. Can you help me please.
[Sprint LG G3] br0adband:
When you get the Mini OS menu, you have to press and hold Power and then tap Normal while still holding Power then choose OK (you can let go of Power at that point) to reboot from Mini OS >> Normal boot.

If you don't hold the Power button you won't be able to select the Normal boot option.
[Sprint LG G3] melquised:
Solved!

Thank you for reply, the problem was that in the initial screen of LG Flash tool (Model Config), Action Mode should be "BOARD DL".

No matter if LG flash tool displays errors, the important thing is that the firmware upgrade completed 100% in the smartphone.

My Smartphone it's now as new, with the stock rom! Thanks, you are great!

[MENTION=4095952]fergie716[/MENTION]. A couple months ago I really bricked my phone. Your thread was detailed soo well I had no problem getting back up and running. I was so excited I forgot to give you props. So props to you!! I wouldn't be loving this phone without you!!
[Sprint LG G3] sbrown02:
Hello everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me here. As the title of this thread states, I'm trying to get my Sprint LG G3 back to stock ZV4. I've been running a variant of ZV8 but am ready to go back to stock/unrooted. However, I played with the screen DPI settings and didn't realize that changes the build prop so now when I get to step 20 to install the TOT and DLL files I get the "Model Information Check Fail" error.

That said, I've also tried to load the generic DLL file and that produces an error as well. Attached is a screen shot of the error when attempting to load the generic DLL. Interestingly enough, I've got TWRP backups of various prior ROM's on my external storage that go back to ZV4 (albeit not stock). I've tried wiping and installing older backups but doing this doesn't fix the build prop so I still can't get it back to stock..

What do I need do to get this to work right or get the build prop back to normal? I saw some talk in a thread (can't remember if it's this one or another) about restoring the build prop file back to normal but I don't know where to get the file or how to do it.

Thanks
[Sprint LG G3] JG96EVO:
I believe u can try to download the stock zv8 build and take the stock build prop from that and copy it to your current zv8 setup to get the stock properties back then once it reboots u should be able to flash back stock.
[Sprint LG G3] sbrown02:
Well, I solved my problem and it apparently wasn't my build prop. In my post above I described how the LG flashtool kept giving me the dreaded "Model Information Check Fail" error and wouldn't proceed with flashing, and the generic file also would error out. Well, I've been working on a Macbook pro running VMware fusion - Windows 7 to get this to work and I finally got access to a PC running Windows Vista (although I think it would have worked running windows 7 or vista) and tried it on that machine and voila... it worked flawlessly. So I'm wondering if there was something about my virtual machine settings that caused a problem. So if anyone else is experiencing this same problem and is doing it on a mac running a virtual machine with windows I'd highly suggest you try it on a PC. Thanks to those who made suggestions in an attempt to help me out.

Stuck in bootloop

Hi folks,

This is my story, I'm in the ZV4 and I modified my build.pro and now I'm in a bootloop. I tried to return to stock using the ZV4 tot file checking UPGRADE DL (I hadn't seen this tutorial) and it failed saying "device model is different, check phone or DLL". After seeing this tutorial I tried checking BOARD DL but it says the same, and I tried with Generic LG G3 DLL but it gives me another error: "Cross DLL [LS990] to [LS990]". I don't have TWRP installed so I can't use it (I know I should have installed it and made a backup). I have stock recovery and ADB says device offline.

Please, help me with this I don't know what else to do.

Thanks

PS:

I was able to solve the problem. I went to the PC where all started, and there I was able to use ADB with root permissions. I erase the build.pro file and after that I was able to return to stock using lg flash tool.

So the problem is when you have a corrupted build.pro file, because the lg flash tool tries to read the model from there, but if you don't have a build.pro it doesn't check the model and bypasses this check.
[Sprint LG G3] f22raptor2010:

I've hit a brick wall and not sure what I'm doing wrong..I'm on lollipop and trying to go back to zv4. I did everything that was posted about 20 times now. I get thru all the steps fine, I've changed the port to 41. The lg flash tool never shows my phone as connected. I plug and unplug and nothing. I've tried all my usb ports.. I've tried all my 3 different cables and it's the same on both laptops. I did a hard reset on the phone. Still the same. Any clue what I'm doing wrong?

I am not able to opne diag mode in ZV8. Can someone help?
[Sprint LG G3] Yes4g4me:
ok my phone was on lolpop5.0.1 i had root and recovery then i seen an update so i stock recovery and unroot but the update still failes so i did a fact reset plus cache wipe then tried ota and it still failed so i installed LG drivers and LG PC Suite i used the 32GB model for the PC Suite it had not the sprint model available. Then, i rebooted my windows 7 machine 64bit, then i opend up suite pluged in my phone via usb and used the drop notification bar on my phone to check the usb connection type it was mtp connection so i selected the ptp and then my pc started to install a driver for the connection type, then i switched connection type to charge only and the pc started to install another driver as well then i switched back to mtp mode. I disconnected my phone and rebooted the computer. xda has a thread kind of like this one where it has all those files to grab on the first post except they are from a ZV8 thread so grab the DDL and TOT from there dont grab the lgtool from there though not nessary, anyways, head back over here to grab the lgtool.zip and then follow the instructions from this thread as well. I found my device instaLLed the ZV8 at 100 percent on my phone while the flash tool hung at 89 percent but i still followed the instructions forward to the exact instruction because my phone went to the software screen, anyways after the phone rebooted the flash tool will say failed something about a open usb connection but my phone is restored to factory im going to try and installl the lastest second lolpop update sees if it goes through. Prior to this flashtool the little green guy would error during update regardless if i was unrooted and data resetted. thanks for the tool and guide. my phone was not in bootloop before this process so results might be different if you try and walk on the wild side like I. love peace and chicken grease.

[Sprint LG G3] aerialdrone:
I don't know what is happening but I followed this guide. The computer recognizes the phone but the screen won't go into download mode or recovery mode. I flashed cloudy rom 2.5 t-mobile version on my sprint. When I try to do the generic version it does this. When I use the .dll for sprint it does this. [/url] It shows up on my computer so the device is being recognized when I insert the usb. I don't know if I need to edit the build.prop. If I don't how would I go about that? By the way I'm on windows 8.1 . I don't know if being on windows 7 helps or not. And i don't know how to get ADB to recognize my device. I don't think debugging is set on.
