That's what I did ...

Look at the attached file ... It's okay ??
[G3 General] DomFel:
Dude you're kidding me right? You have to replace the dll in the installation folder for god sake!!!

BTW, I do highly suggest you to do NOT do this procedure. If you don't know how to replace a basic file, then you might have some BIG problems flashing and solving flashtool errors. You might just brick your phone and be stuck with it. For your own sake, don't do this.
[G3 General] freejess:
Excuse me, but it was not very clear ... maybe it's a translation problem ... I finally understood what you meant.

Just for your info I had more than 20 Chinese phones hands, I flashed, Roote, change the recovery etc and I have never bricked phone if once but I managed to recover . Regarding the LG G3 I paid dearly, and I prefer to ask questions several times the risk of sounding stupid, rather than mishandling and brick.

However I thank you for your help and your patience, because I'll probably still ask you questions that will annoy you ... ;)

Alelouya !! I managed ... :D The first step...

Ok now another problem...

DLL is wrong file... I still made a mistake ??
[G3 General] DomFel:
No, DLL is good, and I don't know why you have PRL etc.. option not greyed out.

Try this:

http://downloads.codefi.re/wolfgart...LGD855AT-00-V10e-EUR-XX-JUL-08-2014-32G-0.zip

Or use the dll inside the D857 firmware you downloaded earlier.

Or try also this and let me know:

[G3 General] freejess:
I downloaded the file for any LGD855AT I have not downloaded dll D857 firmware before, as the last link is all in Chinese can not download it ...

I did not understand everything, what do you want me to do with it? You may need more info on my phone? Would not it be easier to put another dll?

D857

Folowing the intructions to root D857 when I run Stump and press Grind then "Device is patched, sorry!". What I must to do?? Many thanks.
[G3 General] DomFel:
Dude, good job and thanks for your instructions!! Personally, I didn't have the original files when I flashed mine when I did the "tutorial", so I grabbed the files here and there (and I'm still updating them as soon as I find them not workin!). Furthermore, didn't have to mess with the XML personally, so really don't know how I made it then!!

And no, luckily I didn't get stuck at the Factory Reset screen, but I knew it was a possibility.

I will add a BIG link to your findings on the first page, thanks, you'll be of a lot of help for others!!!
[G3 General] freejess:
Yes yes !!! I succeeded! Thank you guys very good job !!

The GAPPS are already installed.

There is already an OTA update, it should make it or not?

Is the version D858HK v10f always be avoided if you want the phone root ??

And good job DomFel and reb00tz ! Thank you again !!! :fingers-crossed:
[G3 General] reb00tz:
No worries, glad to be of help - not that I started this thread even! :D

Anyway, as per OP and my post (#80), OTA will probably give you v10F, and v10F is not rootable at the moment. Go ahead if you do not need root. Of course, YMMV - I think the OTA will send a proper D858HK image, but it might just give you a D857... :( Therefore, my suggestion is not.
[G3 General] freejess:
OK, but I said something stupid updating it offers me is that the keyboard not update ota update yet ...

[G3 General] padhead33:
hi, thank you very much for the guide. I don't know what I did wrong, but I'am stuck at firmware update mode with my d858 and don't know what I did wrong. I got a Partition Change system Partition error as you can see on my log file. I did change the model to d858hk. could you help me?

EDIT: IT WORKED thanks to flashing DLLs of reb00tz, from d85810a to d858hk v10d.
[G3 General] freejess:
Hi all! is there an application that lets you know how often the 4G LTE phone is compatible ??
[G3 General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
I have a small question before i try this again.. Is there any recovery crm or twrp on the 858?
[G3 General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
i did it. it worked from the first time thanks to the new DLL. " keep the DLL and xml and the tot file in one folder before you flash.

when you are done, it will take you to the mini OS mode. press ok on the screen, then at the boot option, hold the power and press the screen while you are holding the power button. that's it, it will reboot to normal and you are ready to go.

in fact, my phone was ready to go and it was still around 89$% in the flash tool. I am not sure what to make of that but hey it works.

now, I wonder if there is any custom recovery. and if there is, can someone link me to it ??
[G3 General] reb00tz:
Not aware, but there is something that you could try: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059

Glad you got it to work. No, I am not aware of any Bump! capable releases for the D858HK, although I am tempted to try since I now know I have the "blind flash" capability.
[G3 General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
Actually i got a custom recovery to work. The same aa f400. Check the op other thread. However when you are done flashing. It will ask you to fix the recovery. Click no. This is important. If you click yes you will probably lose your main recovery or something. So go to recovery. Install whatever you are done then when you click reboot click no at the final stage

I am just waiting for the lollipop update to install
[G3 General] freejess:
Since I spent D858HK, AnTuTu increased from 26,000 to 37,811 ...
[G3 General] siemens_wolf:
I flashed D857 into D858HK, 10d, a couple weeks ago. And I haven't received any OTA. SO it seems there's no way to get Lollipop from OTA, right?

How to update the flashed D858HK? Has to flash each time?
[G3 General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
yeah but is it out ? you only have to do UPGRADE in the flash I believe if you have the TOT and DLL file for the Lollipop.

but I do not think its out yet for the D858HK. I could be wrong.
[G3 General] DomFel:
No OTA when you change model. Keep watching this thread, I'll post the lollipop kdz as soon as I find it!

BTW, the future flashes will be using kdz files.
[G3 General] siemens_wolf:
Thanks a lot! So I guess I have to flash KDZ each time for update.

It would be much more convenient if LG could invent something like SIDELOAD
[G3 General] DomFel:
You can do an ADB sideload on the LG stock recovery, but good luck finding the OTA files!
[G3 General] reb00tz:
Thanks for that. Noted that it is not really a real recovery replacement, so I am holding off on it for now...
[G3 General] kazuni:
Actually I have a working recovery that boots up fine and all operations are fine, and need not be hot-booted via fastboot. Let me know if you need more information - I am using it now.
[G3 General] reb00tz:
Great! Details please... :D
[G3 General] hk300:
Another successful conversion!

I want to say thanks to kalunlee , DomFel and Rebootz.

I finally managed to go from a faulty D857 V10a (not working root by previous owner),

fixing it by using the LG Support Tool to go to V10c,

then reading this forum and managed to go back to D857 V10a,

and finally flash it to become a D858HK running 10d.

Thanks!

All DomFel tools/files worked, except for the DLL (and related files). As mentioned by Rebootz, very likely the DLL file is okay, but the other xml files are required to successfully flash it.

So, what I did (probably very NOOBI-style) after rooting, installing SU and changing the Build Prop using the editor,

1. Install LG Flash tool

2. Overwrite the MegaLock.dll file with the file which came with the LG Flash tool

3. Copy the TOT file and all the files in Rebootz DLL zip file (LG G2 and G3 All Variants LG FlashTool DLL with Forced Flash XML)

4. follow the Flash tool setup instructions from DomFel

5. Flash

After several minutes, when the phone reboots, it will boot into the minios.

Wait till you see the Reboot option (push on touch screen + hold the power button) ... and DONE!

kalunlee , DomFel and Rebootz ... Well done! Great work by putting all the files and instructions together!
[G3 General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
to the guys asking about temporary recovery for the 858HK D posted by the OP.

please look here. I take no credit on this and I am not responsible if anything happens to your device. I am only sharing my experience and how I did it with my 858HK

1- the custom recovery available is temporary, I will explain what that means: it means when you install it to your device " its an APK file" and you click on it. you will be greeted with 2 options " install the CRM and boot to CR"

2- the second option boot to CR is grayed and you cant click it obviously because you didn't install it yet. when you do, it will open up. click on reboot to CRM and that's it, you are in the CR mode.

3- you need to know that this is not to install ROMS. the boot the loader is locked. this is only if you want to install flashable zip files like for example the sony remote play for ps4 or google apps from cayanogen etc. nothing related to the system. do NOT flash zip roms. or anything like that otherwise you will probably have a nice device that doesn't work. " someone could correct me here if I am wrong"

4- when you are done installing the files you want. and you want to reboot the system, before the system reboot you will get a message that says do you want to fix the recovery " this option cant be undone " message. you need to click NO. if you click yes, you wont have recovery anymore.

its really very easy.

now the link for the recovery is this

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g...0-4-9-t2825865

do not worry its really not that hard to do. I am a total noob when it comes to stuff like that and I was able to manage it.

Hey [MENTION=1069442]DomFel[/MENTION] (and [MENTION=591520]ll_l_x_l_ll[/MENTION]), thank you both, but as mentioned, I want a recovery that is permanent (or at least loadable via the stock recovery) such that I can do a nandroid restore. Anyway, as per [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION]'s post, I will try to work on getting the 10f boot.img to him (and hopefully we get a working TWRP). :D
[G3 General] DomFel:
The v10d boot.img I provided to him should be enough to get a custom recovery for D858HK up and running, no need for v10f (and it's not rootable)! Good luck!
[G3 General] kazuni:
This APK will install a working recovery for D858HK, in both english and chinese (you can select it at the very beginning, and the rest will be all in english).

It actually installs an F400K recovery (which has very similar partition layout to our unit), and the recovery stays permanent.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/wwb2pg1qdyq79ps/RecoveryInstaller-v1.0_AnZhi.apk

I, by no means, am affiliated to the creator or the forum created this (anzhi) but do appreciate their work.

It does not require fastboot hot boot.

Personally I had tried nandroid the boot, recovery, data and system partition and restored them just fine.

---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 PM ----------

v10f is rootable, provided that you rooted v10d then OTA upgrade.

So far, stump, towelroot, ioroot, zergrush, etc does not work. LG closed the vulnerability.
[G3 General] siemens_wolf:
Somebody using D858HK claimed that he has received notification that his cellphone could update to 5.0. While his phone is rooted, so he has yet done the update.
[G3 General] DomFel:
Give the guy this link:

http://lg-firmware-rom.com/

he could simply enter his IMEI and share the kdz link! The link to the file is not related to his IMEI, so don't worry about that!! :good::good:

need help with downgrade

Sorry for that noob question, but i'm the first time android user and everything here is a "dark forest" to me

i got lg g3 d857 shipped from china with root activated and google play services working

after that some "spec" friend of mine made a successfull upgrade to v10C, so i lost root and gapps also

i read this topic, and if i'm not mistaken - have to downgrade to v10A and then follow all the instructions above to get d858hk

but i can't find the giude how to downgrade to v10A

LG Support Tool gives me only v10C without any changes

found some link by [MENTION=1069442]DomFel[/MENTION] on pan.baidu

but i can't be sure (can't read chineese)- if it's the proper TOT file i need. Also, according to the speed of downloading this file, i'll get it in 4 days :rolleyes:

Is it the only way to get the v10A ? to download from this china link?

thanks in advance and sorry for being such dumb

You can follow the instructions as per post #1

oh...those China links...

i've spent all night long to download twice the v10a tot file (link from post#36) and both times the archive was corrupted. Trying for the third time :confused:

Maybe someone has it already downloaded?

Will be much appreciated for uploading it to some open source
[G3 General] hk300:
I am away this week so I cannot help you with the actual file.

One suggestion. This v10a file is hosted by a China Cloud service, called Baidu Cloud.

If you register a Baidu Cloud account, you can easily transfer the file to your own account and then the downloading from you own account will be much more stabile.
[G3 General] ikol-77:
Ok i did it!

First of all thanks to everyone, who made this giude and helped me with my questions

Special thanks to [MENTION=1069442]DomFel[/MENTION] [MENTION=329890]hk300[/MENTION]

I had unrooted d857 with v10c firmware

then i downgraded it to v10a, rooted with StumpRoot, installed SU (everything was taken from related links in post #1),

a.s.o. according to guide instructions. Finally i got D858HK with working Google applications! :good:

NOTE: when changing firmware from rooted d857 v10A to d858hk v10d - you should use the universal DLL just which was used for the first downgrading, no special d858hk DLL needed,

no matter that LG flash tool shows you phone model number 8974 while flashing. It's OK

Unfortunatelly because of my member status i can't post links to any files yet, but i uploaded them to google disk and MEGA, including v10a .tot file

so feel free to ask

Good luck to everyone!

Successful Flash from D857 to D858HK

Well after 4 hours of troubleshooting and different bunny trails I successfully flashed my LG G3 D857 (国际版) to D858HK!

A couple snags I hit:

-Like most of you have discovered, it's important to copy the DLL file from the Zip file into the LG folder in your C drive root after install LG Driver and LG Flash tool

-I was not able to get into download mode with my USB 2.0 port, oddly enough, it only worked with my USB 3.0 port. So just make sure to try different ports.

-Once I got LG Flash Tool working, it crashed one me the first few times saying 'Cannot change to DL mode' ... So I uninstalled the LG Drivers and reinstalled them, pulled out my battery, reopened LG Flash Tool, and selected a different .TOT file (I downloaded it twice), and tried again. It made much more progress the second time around, getting me to a 'screen test' **Note: The model number changed from the first time I tried to the second time, indicating some file difference**

-The process froze the second time saying it couldn't open USB DL mode, so I rebooted and got MiniOS. I used death_machine's trick and selected Normal Boot., it booted normally and asked me for my Google Login!!!!

If you're not sure about the Flash Tool, this is a helpful guide (just don't use the .TOT to flash back to stock).

Community friends ,

Just got my LG G3 D857 Chinese , it already came root and google play installed.

Mounting: KTV49L.D85710c

Software Version : D85710c - CuO -NC

The system is working very well , but is not working both SIMs active . When I'm using the SIM 1 if someone call the SIM 2 is not active . Do you have any special configuration ? If I install the D858HK version will solve this problem?

Secondly, if this version cannot be rooted as of this time, can i downgrade the stock ROM .D858HKa10f to an older version that can be rooted and how. Can anyone post a link? am just new here. TIA.

d858hk 32 Gb is such a nice phone, love it :D

It did dowgrade it to v10.d, then it proposed to OTA back to 10.f.

Said no and stump root it, it took 210 s so you have to be patient. Since the root I do not have anymore the 10f upgrade via OTA, it says no update is avaliable.

Any idea why ? Does not really matter as the phone is great on v10.d :cowboy:
