This flash will wipe out everything and correctly flash prl,stock recovery,all partition. So let the get the ball rolling and lets hopefully get your phone back too fully working. Please follow all steps no short cutting, or altering files may cause issues with hardware and software too your phone.

Ever since this phone came out, we've been using LGNPST. It's kind of a pain to get, but once you get it and setup, seems pretty easy to use.
This LGFlashTool has been mentioned off and on for other purposes/uses, but never (that I can remember) used for flashing phones to Factory.
Reading your Guide, LGFlashTool does seem to be more thorough, as it seems to wipe EVERYTHING, and you end up starting from scratch. ie Hands free activation proves that.
I think I just answered my own question. LGNPST is easy for the masses. Whereas LGFlashtool is better for REALLY wiping/cleaning up the phone. Almost more for shop work. If that makes sense.
Please don't take this wrong, I'm not being mean. I was just curious about it's use. And I just figured it out as I wrote this.
It's great to have another option. And nice writeup. Thanks

multiple one clicks
Personally i find the best rooter is not this one click which has never worked for me but http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808103 is much better. Simply download. Install corresponding drivers on page. Turn on debugging mode on phone and plug in. The go to device manager and under universial serial bus controllers make sure there is something that says something like samsung component or something like that. Finally run the program and follow in program instructions. I believe at this point u only want rfs but if you want a working one for ext4 please post.
hope that helps
irule9000
If irule's solution didnt work, first make sure the samsung usb drivers are already installed then try going to C:\Program Files\Samsung\USB Drivers\16_Shrewsberry
Then open up ssadadb, then press view signature, then view certificate, then press install certificate..
One you installed that go back to the one click root program and right click that program and select open as administrator..
Should fix all problems on the connection between the phone and pc
Did u already have adb debugging up?
Did u already have adb set up? you need that to get it to work. By they way try hitting enter not spaace

Have you thought about paying someone to work on your grammar and punctuation? In two posts, you have approximately ten thoughts and no separation between them.
And how did you "brick & unbrick" your phone? If it was bricked, then there is no unbricking it. You may have done something to screw it up, but if it was able to boot to anything, then it wasn't bricked.
But seriously, if you aren't computer savvy, then you're on the wrong forum. This is supposed to be a site for developers. Do a little "reserch" into adb (which is in the one-click) and the run.bat that is in the one-click. Run.bat is mostly adb commands that you can enter manually.
Did you make sure to extract the files? Cuz it extracts and sows almost identical but the folder is no longer zipped.... that can stop it from working. It might say something about rageagainstthecage not being extracted

Ok people! No need to get harsh I'm just trying to get a handle on all this, isn't this why were all here 4 tnks for the feed back.
Epic 4G !
If you havnt gotten this to work yet try this.
Download the one click again and/or right click the zip file and extract to *** folder
Open that folder (for me it was OneClickRootCWM3)
BEFORE you connect your usb make sure you have the proper driver installed (search it in forum) and go menu, settings, applications, development, check usb debugging, THEN plug usb
Once you have the driver installed successfully pop up (might need to plug and unplug a few times) right click and run as admin the file titled run NOT run.sh. run will be a windows batch file if you look in type tab in windows explorer.
Follow on screen instructions
Still no good? Try a few more times sometimes it wont work on the first go. Still no good? Reboot and keep tapping F8 (the key that says F8 on it above numbers not F key and 8 key at same time) BEFORE you see the windows logo you should get a menu that asks some questions you want to disable user account control (UAC) you will boot up like normal uninstall driver (control panel, programs, programs and features, right click samsung usb driver for mobile phones and uninstall) reinstall driver by right click run as admin and try one click root again remember to run as admin. Still no good? Do any and all windows updates and try again. Still no good? Download odin (search forum) extract it and run odin put phone in download mode ( from power off open keyboard hold 1 and power ) when you get the yellow menu on phone plug usb look at odin window you should see connected to com whatever not important if not connected unplug and plug usb again if still not connected there is a problem with your usb cable/port on pc/port on phone/driver try another cable/port on pc. Still no good? Bring it my house and Ill hook you up if you are in my area (Richmond, VA)
Ill tell you what fury15! sence u knw so much, tell that to the guy that told me I couldn't build a 10 sec. Junkyard- sb- racecar but I did with only reserch on my part...

You make evrything in instruction? better listing 4 times
1. Download SuperOneClick tool to computer and unzip it.
2. Enable ‘USB Debugging’ mode on phone by going to ‘Settings’ > ‘Applications’ > ‘Development’.
3. Connect the phone to computer. You should have necessary USB drivers for the successful connection to take place.
4. Run ‘SuperOneClickxxx.exe’ located in unzipped content.
5. Make sure ‘psneuter’ option is checked in the SuperOneClick.
6. Click ‘Root’ button and wait for the process to finish.
Your Infuse 4G should be rooted! To confirm it check the ‘Superuser’ app that is installed.

I need to make sure that I have instructions ahead ahead of time, because currently I am having to tether for internet access.
Model: SGH-T999
Baseband Version: T999UVDMD5
My phone is currently running stock. However after finding out about Carrier IQ, I would like to root my device so I can remove it. FOREVER!
I am mostly just paranoid that Carrier IQ includes information about me using PDANet+ and I really dont want Tmobile to find out. I have performed the TTL=64 Registry trick, and Mask Tethering in PDANet is set to Level 1. I am also using a User Agent Switcher to force Chrome into appearing to be an Android browser, but I am still nervous that Tmobile might find a way throught Carrier IQ
Rooting would provide some great benefits. If at all I would like a manner that allows me to root without losing everything and just being able to continue using it as if nothing happened, besides being rooted. I have a decent number of apps and I would like to not have to reconfigure them all.
If anyone can assist me on this, that would be great.

[FONT="]The only things you will loose if you don't back them up are your apps that you got from the playstore.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Follow instructions exactly.[/FONT][FONT="]
Easy and sure way to get your phone rooted - Here is s step by step guide:
Download the newest pre-rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 Jellybean Touchwiz v4.1.2 rom: [/FONT]T999_UVDMD5[FONT="]
After downloading make a folder on your computer's desktop and unzip the
file using Winzip or 7zip so the .TAR file is in the new folder you just made.
Download and extract Odin into the same folder you made containing the TAR file
Here is the link for Odin: [/FONT]http://d-h.st/Q14
Download ODIN which is required for flashing the stock rooted firmware (a windows app)
Download the Odin Flash firmware for T999 Tmobile then copy it to the same folder as Odin
Run Odin by double clicking the Odin.exe within the same folder as the TAR file you extracted
Turn off your phone and boot into DOWNLOAD MODE (Volume Down + Home + Power Hold until phone powers up,
then release and press Volume Up to enter Download Mode)
Once in Download Mode, connect the USB/Charger cable to the phone and plug into the USB port on your computer.
You should now see a COM** port listed toward the top-left of Odin (under ID:COM)
Click on the PDA button in the middle-right area of Odin.
Browse to and select the Firmware you downloaded (TAR file)
Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked and that PDA is the only other thing checked.
TRIPLE CHECK your settings and that you have selected the correct firmware for your model phone and are using the correct options.
If you are using a laptop, make absolutely sure you are plugged in, or if on battery, that it is charged enough and will not go into sleep mode during flash.
Click Start to begin the flash. This will take a while, so be patient!
Once complete, in the top-left box in Odin, it will say PASS and the phone should have automatically rebooted.
You may unplug the phone and close Odin if you wish.
Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the system to boot the first time and then build its cache!
(It may seem to hang during boot, this is normal and you must be patient!!!)
Good Luck!

Honestly, since your sd card was formatted and you've already lost everything I would just use LGNPST back to stock. Here is a link to @engine95's thread for rooting/unlocking here. You will see the link for lgnpst and teenybins. You will need to use irc and go to the #lg-optimus-g channel to get the download links for it. Once you enter the irc channel, at the very top you will see "You won't read this but..." followed by a link. Click that link and you will find everything you could possibly need. Some people(depending on version of Windows) have problems with LGNPST and the LG drivers, so in the links you will find a vmware image with LGNPST already set up. And instead of using a teenybin, just use the most recent full stock bin. All the directions, files, etc will be right there after following that link in the irc. If you dont have vmware workstation just google it - you can get a free fully functional copy from their website for a month - as well as how to set it up using an existing virtual image. Once set up, just follow the directions in the irc links for download mode and LGNPST. Doing this will essentially put your phone back to stock factory settings, so you will have to reroot and unlock the bootloader again once it's done - but at least you will have a functioning phone again.
It may seem complicated at first but I had to do this once and it was pretty easy. The vmware image will already have the proper drivers installed and will lead to less troubleshooting/problems. But make sure you use vmware workstation NOT oracle virtualbox. Virtualbox had usb issues with LGNPST and I never got the vmware image to work properly - vmware workstation worked like a charm. Hope this helps!
EDIT: And if you have a nandroid backup saved to your pc, after rooting/unlocking again - as long as you are using the same recovery you can move the nandroid from your pc back to your phone and restore it. If not, make sure you not only make a backup this time but save a copy to your pc in case anything like this happens again.
I think i got into irc?? But i dont see what your talking about.

The address is webchat.freenode.irc from a web browser. Then pick a nickname, and for channel type '#lg-optimus-g" without quotations, leave both check boxes blank, fill out the the captcha and hit connect. As soon as you connect you will see links at the top of the channel. Click the link after "Need Help? You won't read this but..." and that's all the links you will need. If you do need further help, simply ask someone in the irc channel. Sorry I just got back to you, Ive been super busy.
EDIT: On second thought, here is the link in the irc with all the guides you will need. Get the stock zvc .bin file from engine's thread that I linked to earlier and grab the vmware image from the link in this edit. You could use the stock zvb bin found in the link above but then you will have to update to zvc, easier to just use the one engine has in his guide.
Have you ever put your phone into download mode? Its simple, once you download vmware workstation, the vmware image, the stock bin and get it all set up - make sure your phone is completely powered down. Plug the usb into your pc, but before connecting the other end to your phone hold both volume buttons in, then connect it. Your phone should turn on and be in download mode. Then you are ready to use LGNPST and flash the stock bin. If you need the .dll file in LGNPST that can also be found in the link I just gave you but I think the vmware image may have it already installed? Can't remember, just make sure you are using ls970/sprint or whatever.
So i run the auto lgnpat and it installs the drivers for download mode and registers the dll. then when i try to run the regular lgnpst program it says failed to load dll skin ? Sorry im such a noob guys thanks

The address is webchat.freenode.irc from a web browser. Then pick a nickname, and for channel type '#lg-optimus-g" without quotations, leave both check boxes blank, fill out the the captcha and hit connect. As soon as you connect you will see links at the top of the channel. Click the link after "Need Help? You won't read this but..." and that's all the links you will need. If you do need further help, simply ask someone in the irc channel. Sorry I just got back to you, Ive been super busy.
EDIT: On second thought, here is the link in the irc with all the guides you will need. Get the stock zvc .bin file from engine's thread that I linked to earlier and grab the vmware image from the link in this edit. You could use the stock zvb bin found in the link above but then you will have to update to zvc, easier to just use the one engine has in his guide.
Have you ever put your phone into download mode? Its simple, once you download vmware workstation, the vmware image, the stock bin and get it all set up - make sure your phone is completely powered down. Plug the usb into your pc, but before connecting the other end to your phone hold both volume buttons in, then connect it. Your phone should turn on and be in download mode.

Vmware workstation is virtualization software. Vmware wont help you by itself. It runs operating systems from within other operating systems. If you are on windows and want to run mac osx or linux(or even android), thats what vmware does. In the links from irc you will see a vmware image with lgnpst already set up. So you run that image in workstation and it will boot into a windows xp build with lgnpst and drivers already set up EXACTLY as they should be. Make sense?
If it's too difficult you can just try setting lgnpst up on your current pc, the irc links have guides for everything. Personally I think it was much easier to just load the virtual image in workstation because its configured exactly as it should be.
The goal is to run LGNPST - it's LG's flashing tool which is why we cant link directly to it.
EDIT: Didnt see your and engine's other replies, just the notification I had for this one - if you already have lgnpst, follow his directions for the fix, dont worry about vmware - unless you cant get lgnpst to work. Then try running lgnpst from the vmware image.
That makes sense but the file i downlaoded from irc says its not supported by vm ill do some more digging tho

It might depend on how you are using it. If you just tried to open it with vm it wont, you have to set up vm using an existing vm file. Google for instructions, again its simple and takes just a few steps to set up.
Ok i pretty much narrowed everything down to my pc not recognizing my phone in download mode thats a .dll problem correct?

Not necessarily.
1.What version of Windows are you running?
2.Can you move files to and from your SD? Just regular old files.
3.Do you have ADB installed?
Answer those questions first and we'll go from there.

Windows 7 64bit adb is installed and when i plug in my phone i get nothing, in download mode or sideload. Id like to just use adb and throw a rom on it to get it going. Essentially my problem is my phone will not connect to my pc
Request: LG G3 F460 file. Phone is screwed up after reseting the phone. "rooted"
Hey guys I need help and I think you are the only people that can help me.
I have the Korean version of the LG G3 cat 6 460s. I rooted the phone using stump root and everything is fine.
today I decided to reset the phone and I did. now every time I power on the phone it prompt me for the initial setup of the phone, the volume up and down keys no longer works, notification doesn't work. the home button icon doesn't even work " only back button on the screen lol "
I tried to do hard reset by turning off the phone and holding the power and volume down button method but it doesn't work.
the only method I believe or I think I have a chance is with flash tool. but I really need the files required for this model. where can I get them.
is their an LG official pc suit for this model I can download from LG directly ? am I $%#ed ?
please help me in this I don't want an expensive paperweight phone
Lgbbs.net. did you check there?
This shouldn't be in development.
I honestly do not know where this should be in. but I figured this section is where most tech people who are into flashing roms will be available and I need help. sorry if it this is in the wrong section.
I did look into that site. they are charging 800 credits for it and each 50 credit is like 1$. so that file is 16$.
its not much and I will go for it if I do not have any alternative.
please guys let me know if there is any
also. which one do I need ? KDZ or TOT ?
I got the files. If you have some place to upload them I can share them to you (and everyone). Happened exactly the same to me.

Happened to me too. You need to delete some media device added when you connect the phone (thats what windows thinks it is) so it can auto-detect it again correctly.
Uploading the files now. I got a ****ty upload speed so be patient.

Sorry, just got that you have the "other devices" so forget about the multimedia thing I said. You have to change the drivers (normally one of them is from microsoft) to the ones from LG (by updating manually and finding the inf in you HD manually). Windows will say the driver is not compatible but you can ignore that.

I couldnt upload to the one you suggested so I ended up with google drive:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B3_3P8VBnuo2MGZvLXp6UVk3eTQ&usp=sharing
There is de DLL and a text file with the address in MEGA for the TOT file.
Tell me if you have any trouble.
After the whole process you will end with a blue or green screen (dont remember), dont worry, just reboot and you will be back on stock.
Good luck
Thank you. I will update later when I get home. Thanks again mate

Similar thing happened to me too, after I screwed up the file system. Download LG Flash Tool 2014 and the applicable .KDZ ROM, select normal, then wait for 100%
Oh and this does not wipe your device.
Edit: does not belong in Development, you have years experience and should know better.
Please post help and questions threads in the QUESTION AND ANSWER / TROUBLESHOOTING thread.
Under no circumstances should non development threads be started in the development section

No problem. If by the way you happen to get your hands in a non korean LG G3, can you share the LGWeather.apk located in system. I'm trying to get rid of kweather provider and home being in Korea.
