Reset the Flash tool, change to Board.DLL not Update.

Remove battery and disconnect from USB

Press the Yellow arrow on Flash tool

When it says Ready, Put battery back in, press and hold Volume Up key

If it does not go into Download mode, add the power key now

It will now go through the process

At about 85% it will boot into mimos software

after hitting OK, Remove USB and choose Boot Normally

It should boot into Android updating screen

Big thanks to [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] for those last steps

Need your help too.

Own a G3 LS990 and I want to back to rom stock.

It's running with a custom rom (PRIMEGSM) - a rom for LS990 based on the International model (855).

(This Dev was surely edited the build.prop as in settings the device is D855 and not LS990)

Maybe this is the reason why it recognized as a D855 in the program...

So i downloaded the TOT & DLL , started the process and got failed.

P.S: did that with the LGLS990_20140704_LGFLASHv160 DLL (not with the MegaLock).

What am i doing wrong?

Thank you very much!

[Sprint LG G3] KennyG123:
Did you choose Board.dll instead of Update like I mentioned?
[Sprint LG G3] duba500:
Yes I did ... I was shortly wrote the instructions specifically for the flashtool stage and I see there that this is one of the things I must do.

Maybe I need someone to arrange things to me, bc's looks like i confusing... There are 3 DLL's:

1) LGLS990_20140704_LGFLASHv160_Download.zip

2) Generic LG G3 DLL (LGUP_8974.dll)

3) MegaLock.dll

Which one/s I should use??

(I think I used the LGLS990_20140704_LGFLASHv160)

Sorry..It just that a lot of info' sometimes confusing me.

Thank you!
[Sprint LG G3] KennyG123:
You want to use the dll in the zip LGLS990_20140704_LGFLASHv160 in the dll slot of the Flashtool screen. The Megalock.dll is part of making the flashtool work.
[Sprint LG G3] duba500:
[MENTION=3125148]KennyG123[/MENTION]

So actually,

There are 4 DLL files:

(1) "LGLS990_20140704_LGFLASHv160.dll" => Which I need to chose from the flashtool.

(2) "Sprint DLL" => Just copy to the flashtool directory.

(3) "Generic LG G3 DLL" => Replace the Sprint DLL within the flashtool directory

ONLY

If I get a "Wrong Device" error when trying to flash.

(4) "MegaLock.dll" => Just copy to the flashtool directory (overriding the current MegaLock.dll file)

Did I got it right?

Thank you!
[Sprint LG G3] KennyG123:
The copy of flash tool that I found only required the megalock.dll to be copied into the directory and the LGLS990 dll to be linked in the flash tool screen. I tried many times and kept getting a Reset 2 on my phone until I found [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION]'s instructions and the thread reminding people to change to Board.dll. Then at about 85% or so complete the phone rebooted into mimos software where I picked OK, then unplugged the USB, and chose Normal boot. Flash tool still said it failed since it never completed but it booted into Android is updating.

[Sprint LG G3] krishna13:
Hi. I have a weird issue. I have a D855 phone which is running on kitkat v10n. I thought of Upgrading it to official 5.0 or 6.0 firmware and decided to check for the option software update in my phone. But I didnt find any. So i thought of installing TWRP recovery to my phone. and I flashed through flashify and cant boot into recovery menu but i can see fastboot menu started and some other 2,3 lines at the top left corner of the phone. I cant even reset the phone also as doing that going into same fastboot menu but when i pull the battery and place it it is booting.

The real thing starts from here. I want to check whats wrong with my fphone and found that actually my phone motherboard is LS990.Not D855. So I came to know that as i wrong flashed the recovery, I am getting fastboot mode. So can I flash tot file directly now or not? if doing so will it result in hard/soft brick or in bootloop? Please help me to upgrade from kitkat to lollipop without any damage to my phone. Expecting a resolution from you. Thanku..
[Sprint LG G3] abhi831661:
i even change to generic lg g3 dll file but then also it shows me same error
[Sprint LG G3] abhi831661:
actually i bought an imported lg g3 ..so it was said to me that it was d855...and so i flashed marshmallow for d855..and now it just stucked at boot logo...so after many failed attempts and by applying all the methods still doesn't work..so i opened my phone and found that in the motherboard it is given that ls990...and now i cant able to flash ls990file or d855...as if i flash ls990 it shows me error model device different or sometimes CROSS DLL..when i used the generic dll......so what can i do now

I'm trying to restore my G3 back to stock and when I select the DLL file, it says wrong DLL file. Any help would be appreciated.
[Sprint LG G3] Nepotomud:

I don't get it. Do I really have to read through 30 pages+ of this thread to find out where the missing files are that are named at the start of this thread that you need?

"just search this keyword and you'll find it", "just go here and use this instead" If the process was clean, there would be 90% less posts and questions in the first place!

How about starting a new thread if the original post can't be edited?
[Sprint LG G3] cipollone88:
Just wanted to give thanks when thanks are due. Thank you sir! Had the issues with missing Sprint bloat, wrong branding, incorrect network and no Sprint spark splash screen after flashing back to stock with LG flash tool. This worked as described, gave me my MSL/SPC, used dailer code ##RTN# and entered code, now I am back to 100% original bloat!

Used LG flash tool v 1.8 and LG Mobile drivers with windows 10 with no problem. Same issues also happened previously when running Windows 7.

Almost all the files from this thread, only the LG Flash Tool (Version - 1.5.10) was pre-installed on my system Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. also i have previous experience of flashing LG G2 (Sprint USA LS980) from the same tool which helped me alot.

[Sprint LG G3] Crossvxm:
Yes, you can use this guide, but you DO NOT need the generic ".dll" file. You must go into download mode to restore your device (power it off, connect your USB to the computer, hold volume up on the G3 and connect to the USB at the same time).

Check your phone's exact model should be LS990.

The original flash tool .exe is no longer available and I was initially unable to get the tool working without logging into the server or whatever, but I found the Megalock.dll elsewhere and replaced the file. Then all was fine.
[Sprint LG G3] poog:
Thanks for the tips to use the "GENERIC" DLL for the LG G3. I had a "device mismatch" or device not match error with flashtool and LGUP. And the I used the generic DLL posted in the 3 post of this thread and finally worked after failing 20 times. with the other main DLL that everyone else uses.

Also LGUP asked for the SPC AKA MSL code but plugging-in the correct SPC resulted in FAILURE with the same error (device not match). So anyone scrambling to get their MSL in order for LGUP to fix an issue like this...........try using the generic DLL first with flashtool...

---------- Post added at 06:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 AM ----------

I had this same error. Normally if you have no errors, everyone flashes with flashtool using the 'stock' DLL that matches your device..... and is named LS990 with some date........it's the same one everywhere for that model. But if you get errors like DEVICE NOT MATCHING or something like that , you need to use the "GENERIC" DLL the OP posted in the third post using flashtool.

Same question here! If no one has experience with ZVI specifically, does anyone know if this downgrade method can usually be applied to any firmware version?
[Sprint LG G3] issEch:
Helllo, I see that you have experience with the LS990, I have this phone now and I sometimes face troubles with it, I fixed most of them (screen flickering, Invalid SIM, Bootloop...etc) But let's talk about that Invalid sim.. it's because it only works in the US. LS990 is not an international phone, so I had to root it and unlock APN using shortcut master app. Before that I copied some files to a system folder then I get same result which is The network is working , calls , sms, perfectly. BUT the internet ! I only get GSM (E) working.. (No 3G no H+ no 4G no LTE). So if you think there's a solution for this problem, please share !

Thanks for the restoring tips.

LG G3 LS990 in boot loop.

I came across the post from, l33tlinuxh4x0r , on Restoring LG G3's. I followed the instructions as laid out and after a couple tries got the LS990 I have to take. Then I came to this post as He instructed to finish restoring it. I tried a few tot's as I don't have a clue which one I needed, Using LG Flashtool. The zv4 and zv6 are the only ones that tried. The zv4 would hang up at the end during boot check & (fboot) & Fail & Then the unit would go into boot loop. The zv6 did go through all the way to pass but with from 1 to 6 boot chk tries. Then after getting out of mini os, Back to Boot Loop. The unit started out with killswitch boot, which in the other post I was able to get past. Is there anyway to find out which tot I should be using & if it is zv6, is there a way to fix the boot?

You still need the tot. Just use this dll and see if it'll get you by the build.prop mod

When miniOs opens, its says something like "auto something do not touch screen" You have to press ok then it does a test for about 5sec. Then you press power+normal to reboot.

Did the LG Flash Tool display any error? I'm on my phone but I did a quick search looks like the flash was possibly interrupted.

Go into Device Manager on Windows and see if The LGE Mobile USB Modem is there. If so turn it off.

Then see if you have a different USB cable, one that is very reliable.

Try to flash again after those changes and try not to move the phone and/or computer while it's flashing

If I remember right, and it's in a thread here somewhere, you need to call Sprint and tell them you don't have WiFi calling. They'll have you do a dialer code to reset your phone.
