[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dksoni411:
Overview::​

Well, something bad happened to my phone (H830), then LGUP said unknown device. I tried many tools, different KDZ but all went failed

What Actually happened in my case:​

I had mm stock 10d ROM then I upgraded to 20a using LGUP KDZ method by using uppercut trick. I wanted to enjoy Fulmics 1.5 (for my H830), but was newbie so had no idea about rooting it and installing (Because all available guides were actually complexed or I was impatient to read other things except main procedure). So I did something strange and Fulmics was installed over 20a ROM, because I was unable to wipe internal storage due to that decryption thing.

So I thought, I should go back to stock by using LGUP and retry the procedure with more focus. This time LGUP didn’t know my phone, not with that uppercut too. I thought that’s because I unlocked bootloader and must first try to lock it, and try again with LGUP. I retried with locked bootloader and failed again.

(Remember, LGUP or any other tool have nothing to do with back to stock thing. You can go back to stock whether you are bootloader locked or unlocked, it has no power of stopping you.)

Possible Cases:​

So I will not waste the time. Possible cases:

1: LG G5 stuck on download mode and it is now not being recognized by LGUP and you can’t do anything, because no other tool is available.

2: You installed a custom ROM and now LGUP is not recognizing it. You want to go back to stock and can’t do it.

3: Anything bad happened during flashing process, PC restarted, phone went off or whatever. And now you can’t bring it back to life.

¬ Or

Other cases you faced.

5 : LG Flash tool (the one used to bring LG G2, G3 back to stock).

I used 20a KDZ because I had it already and it was nougat with vulnerability to root and flash TWRP.

6: LG Firmware extract tool

In 2nd post

Most tools can be found in attachments of 2nd post.

Process:​

First:

Uninstall all other tool, previous driver (including other phone’s too). Restart PC

Just to avoid problems. I tried this process many times on Windows 10 64-bit and it always worked for me. So it has no problems with new Windows OS.

Now follow procedure in exact order.

1: Install LG drivers.

Put Phone in download

(Hold Vol+ and connect to PC while it was powered off).

Wait until it finishes installing drivers. Change COM Port to 41.

Ask If anything wrong happened, I will try my best to help. I used this method on my device, LG G5 T-Mobile variant AKA H830. It should work for others.

Hit Thanks, if I helped you.

If I forgot to give credit to anyone who is related with these tools, please let me know and I will be happy to name them.
