[MENTION=6511877]ravi.vydianathan[/MENTION] im not having any luck here. After selecting upgrade errors i input imei # then select OS Version: Kitkat, it then says i already have latest version. I even tryed to run imageprep again, i realized that i never renamed one click root recovery to boot.img. Thats probably where i messed up..i tryed to run it again correctly this time and its not picking up my phone it says "waiting on device..". i even tryed putting it in download mode and still nothing.
[G3 General] ravi.vydianathan:
[MENTION=6613267]xCassiousx[/MENTION], you mean to say that LG PC suite can recognize your phone? Did you try check for updates/upgrade or did you try restore upgrade errors? I do not recollect having to input IMEI number anywhere. Just clicking restore upgrade errors starts the process.
[G3 General] DE52:
Wait a minute guys. Why did you rename TWRP to boot.img? Where does it say to do that? Recovery and the boot.img are completely separate (at least in the whole lollipop process it has been) except for the fact that the boot.img (aka kernel) verifies the signature (aka ID) of each partition. You're suppose to bump the boot.img (unless the script does it automatically) which will cause it to recognize TWRP as a recovery that is allowed instead of throwing the "boot error (blue/red LEDs) and blank screen after a few seconds".

[MENTION=6613267]xCassiousx[/MENTION] what exactly can you boot into on your phone at this time? Can you boot to android? You said you can use download mode. Did you check if LG flash tool recognizes your phone rather than LG PC suite?
[G3 General] ravi.vydianathan:
[MENTION=5374539]DE52[/MENTION], the imageprep 1.5 procedure requires the twrp image to be temporarily renamed to boot.img. This is renamed by the script during the process to recovery.img.

[MENTION=5374539]DE52[/MENTION] i just came across this thread for unrooting with the flash tool http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2785089

im about to try this method,hopefully i can get my phone back to stock then go from there.
[G3 General] DE52:
Ahh ok, I did not know. I used the kit kat downgrade method, so all these scripts are unfamiliar to me even though they pretty much execute things for us instead of us doing it manually.
[G3 General] ravi.vydianathan:
[MENTION=6613267]xCassiousx[/MENTION], I hope flash tool solves your problem [emoji106]
[G3 General] DE52:
Follow all instructions from the 2015 updated part. That's what I usually do to put my phone to stock. Once LG flash tool recognizes your phone, you're fine. Thankfully, you still have use of download mode lol
[G3 General] xCassiousx:
[MENTION=5374539]DE52[/MENTION] nvm looks like im boned....doesnt recognize my device at all it pops up as QHSUSB_BULK done some research and it looks like this a hard bricked :crying: looks like im getting a new phone.......
[G3 General] DE52:
Ouch...I'm sorry that it ended this way :/ Have you tried several USB ports just in case? May sound stupid, but sometimes that's what it takes in windows or try using another computer. You got nothing to lose (as in anything more to lose) at this point. In all cases, I hope you have insurance or the money to replace it if anything

maybe you can help me. im looking and looking and looking. D850 AT&t LG G3. is lollipop twrp availble yet or are we still waiting on the correct files? i have my original kk TOT file from 10d firmware. just dont know exactly what other files im looking for.
[G3 General] topet2k12001:
Hi [MENTION=4551750]ryanzurlo88[/MENTION],

I found it by Googling "D850 AT&T TWRP". :)

"Bump'd" TWRP for D850 AT&T (version 2.8.5.1)

aboot.img = you need to extract your D850 AT&T Kitkat KDZ or TOT firmware (it's in my guide, first post. Or you can also get it straight from the KDZ and TOT Extractor thread).

"Bump'd boot.img (your Lollipop boot.img) = there are three ways to get this. And this is where the "paradoxical situation" comes in, in my response to another user from the other thread.

You can ask the D850 AT&T Threads for a copy of a "bump'd" boot.img (Lollipop version) for your variant.

You can "bump" it yourself if you know how.

You can follow my guide to easily "bump" you rLollipop version boot.img. Then, when you are already booted to Android Lollipop, you can install Android Terminal Emulator and enter some commands in order to extract a "bump'd" boot.img from your phone, so that next time around when you try the new method, you already have a "bump'd" boot.img (Lollipop version).

su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img (this makes a backup to your Internal Storage)

If your only source of having a "bump'd" boot.img for your LG G3 variant is by following my guide, then that is where the paradoxical situation comes in. Basically, to prove that we can have "bump'd" boot.img and "bump'd" TWRP via the new method, we ended up already doing it using the how-to guide in this thread. :)

Can you hangouts to help walk me through it?

Hi [MENTION=6480096]BarCouSeH[/MENTION],

"Bump" is a term they use for "signing" a boot.img or a recovery.img to give it "unlocked" possibilities. Please visit the "Bump" thread to learn more about it.

You should probably remove D858HK from the title of this thread since it has proven to work on more variants and should logically work on all variants. Some poeople might not even open this thread since it's model specific.

Hi, first I own LG G3 D855 32gb with previously installed stock LL ANHD 8.3 rom with downgrading to KK rooting method. Today I decided to try fully root following guide from this threat given by [MENTION=5231281]topet2k12001[/MENTION] and after clean installing LL 20H KDZ file I root it with no problem and then I decided to follow guide for installing bump¨d TWRP and aboot.img from KK witch I extracted from latest 10N KK version, only thing I did deferent is that for flashing TWRP and boot.img I used Flashify from playstore and for aboot.img I used Android terminal with commands in guide from this threat. After flashing all and turning off phone then turning it on to enter TWRP it work so I can state that TWRP is working fine, no more error, even I restore my backup (system and data) of rom ANHD 8.3 (LL) I used before this and all is working flawlessly with almost full lollipop rom except aboot.img (KK).

Script MOD Err similar to @AtriosM3

I am getting the same sharpening script mod error as well. It is not letting me select the script output (0-40). I have a VZW LG G3 VS98523C, 5.0.1 and rooted via @avicohh method. I tried running imageprep 1.4 with no luck and then 1.5 with no luck with either. Do I need to DD the old Lollipop .imgs back into the system and start over? I did a DD to pull one of the replaced files to compare to the Lollipop and the MD5s were not the same. Also, with either version, this could be dumb/noob question, but should I have SDK and all the goodies installed on my laptop? Could that be the port error reason below in [MENTION=4799606]AtriosM3[/MENTION] post? Would it be wise just to do a factory data wipe or the LG flash tool back to stock? Thanks!
[G3 General] DE52:
That script output can only be selected in recovery(the 0-40). Were you able to get into TWRP recovery? Also, you were saying the MD5 of two lollipop image files weren't the same? Which ones? You may want to flash back to stock to restart with a clean slate. As for the non detection, not sure about that. Wondering if there's other drivers you're suppose to have. Does windows automatically try to install drivers? And does it succeed? If not, not sure what to do as I don't have the verizon model.
[G3 General] jcvermillion:
I compared aboot.img (after script) vs an aboot.img that I copied via dd command before running script. Also, I connected my phone and the system did auto install drivers...the lg software and vzw software recognizes the phone when its connected with the usb cable. I know back in my initial root days (RIP HTC droid inc 4g lte FIREBALL) you needed the sdk stuff and other goodies on your cpu to do what was needed. Should I unzip and transfer the sharpening script to my phone? I am thinking back to stock might be the answer as well.

Oh yah, recovery was unsuccessful, just goes to stock when holding the pwr and vol down buttons.

[G3 General] DE52:
So far, everyone that had their device detected as QCxxxx could not recover their device (at least in this thread). As such, I doubt he has any choice but to replace it. And I am not advanced enough to guide him through any unbrick methods. [MENTION=6613267]xCassiousx[/MENTION] I see there is some unbrick guides in the G3 general section if you wish to try before replacing your phone.

That's strange that they don't match seeing as no modifications should be done to it except installing. By the way, is it aboot.img from kit kat? That's where it is suppose to be from. As for the port thing, I was reading the OP in the original thread that the 1.5 script is based off of and they say to: Normally If doesn't work for people please checking port that connecting between device and computer or checking LG driver and Re-run script again. If not it says to do everything the script does manually which can be found:here at the bottom of the OP. By the way, if I remember correctly, there's often specific drivers for verizon phones. Maybe you should install the same drivers they use for LG flash tool so it is recognized in download mode when you reboot manually. I'm assuming the auto installed ones aren't enough
[G3 General] jcvermillion:
Will do on the flash tool...I think I have seen the link floating around the forum. The aboot.img was from kitkat 12B zip extracted via the Kdz and tot tool.

Soory for the noobness but all i need is to put my model kk .Kdz + recovery.img in the same folder of the script and run it?
[G3 General] ravi.vydianathan:
[MENTION=3733668]rotemkk[/MENTION], that's right... You need to place your KK kdz and the recovery img in the folder. Before running the script do rename your recovery to boot.img. Once you run the script the kdz extract tool will be invoked and you can extract the aboot and laf images. Rest is quite automated.

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 AM ----------

[MENTION=3557853]razer679[/MENTION], you can get the kk and lp firmware from http://lg-phone-firmware.com/mobile/index.php?id_mod=41. Please note that the v20 ones are lp whereas v10 ones are kk. Also note that the ones named with a 6 are for the 16 gb version. So you need to be careful about that.

For recovery just get it from http://teamw.in/Devices/

Bump is already incorporated in the script do that's all you need. In fact you don't need lollipop firmware, just Kitkat firmware plus the recovery is enough.

Lol this thread is about rooting lollipop. For kit kat, you would need to also try stump, purple drake or IO root. Not too sure which one works best for your variant(don't have same model). You would have to go to your specific sub-forum and see what's available for your model or use google with the terms: "root D850 purple drake" and such things like that

fastboot mode started

hey buddies

maybe its a wrong threat to ask .sorry

i'd compiled d855 kernel and repack zimage to boot.img and put that to a flashable kernel zip file-after flash see certificatation error n to solve flash another kernel or stock rom(then i learned to backup with twrp to reduce waste time)

trying with open bump and itsflashed flawlessly and no cerficate error but "fastboot mode started" !!!

what can i do with kernel?

i experienced with samsung and i know must sign kernel to flash. bump is like that but stuck on this one :(

any suggestion how can i flash kernel without this kind of issues ?

edit:after fastboot mo.... i can enter recovery and restore boot backup and run os with prev kernel

thnks in advance

[G3 General] ravi.vydianathan:
[MENTION=1597371]crofalcon[/MENTION], you can still use the older versions of imageprep (1.4 and 1.5) if you want.
[G3 General] topet2k12001:
Link Fixed!

Hi Friends,

Sorry about that. I think I was too sleepy when I was editing the post and accidentally removed the link. It's fixed now.

Note: during the rooting part, there is a minor "inconvenience". The progress will seem to hang but it did not. When you unplug the LG G3 from your PC (after about 2-5 minutes), you will notice that the rooting script will continue and indicate a success. You can verify that the device has been rooted when you restart it (in this case, the device is currently in Download Mode, so you need to manually restart by removing the battery, waiting for a few seconds, putting the battery back on, and power on the device). Upon start-up you will notice an "Android is upgrading" notification (1 of 1)....that is the SuperSU. You can further verify that root is properly installed when you see SuperSU in your listed apps.

It is not a bug. It has something to do with the programming and the behavior of MS-DOS (the command prompt). In my GUI app, command prompt "runs in the background". I am figuring out a way to automate the sending of "Ctrl+C" and "Y" to exit the script (so that you won't have to manually restart the device). I will fix that, but for now this version will have to do as I need to get it released for the benefit of the members. I'll just work on it during my free time.

Please don't hesitate to provide feedback/feature requests. Also as usual, make sure to back up everything before trying!

Hi [MENTION=5175597]mostafaz[/MENTION],

In the first post of this thread, the logic behind rooting the LG G3 in Android Lollipop is explained. I encourage you to read it so you will understand the meaning of the error messages that you see.

This is what drove me to make a script, initially in the form of a simple batch file (Command Prompt) called Imageprep. Eventually I tried to make a GUI app from it, which is now ImageprepGUI. It aims to help you root and add TWRP (and also the option to "bump") with (hopefully) minimal to zero problems.

SOLVED

tnq very much

i'll try to flash aboot after "fastboot mode starte" show at startup.tnq

but how can i solve that automatically when flashing compiled kernel?

ps:i used your toolset to bump compiled kernel -maybe kernel doesnt have aboot ! if else how can i add aboot to boot.img for flashing

tnq very much

----------------

doesn't work-at fastboot "fastboot flash aboot aboot.img" > succeed but phone goes to fsatboot mode immediately .i dont care about phone startup ,i can fix it by restore boot with recovery,i just wanna kernel flash and boot properly.

btw tnq for your work-keep going :highfive:
[G3 General] crofalcon:
I ended up using a much faster and easier way by using autorec. Searched for "d855 autorec" on playstore, installed it, and with just one click you can install a working twrp or restore the stock recovery.

I have checked each of the points mentioned and everything seems to be ok. Also, as soon as I run the script and before exiting it creates a com text file and I can see my com port number near Diag1. Don't know what's going on.
[G3 General] Mwinder123:
I am having this same problem.
[G3 General] topet2k12001:
Thanks for the feedback. I'll test when I get home.

In the meantime, can you share to me the com.txt file? You may need to copy-paste it to another location on your PC before exiting the script (or before clicking on "OK" on the error message that pops up, because the script is designed to delete that file upon exiting.

If you're having problems getting the "com.txt" file, you can do this:

1. Open a Command Prompt.

2. Plug your LG G3 to your PC.

32. Enter this:

reg query HKLM\hardware\devicemap\SERIALCOMM > com.txt

It should produce a file named "com.txt". Remember, the file will be created in whatever directory you are currently in (on Command Prompt)

4. Share the file to me so that I can examine. Please don't forget to mention your LG G3 model/variant.

By the way, a tip for those who are already rooted and just want to test: when I was doing my tests I didn't need to unroot.
