Hi everybody
i just ask you guys a question
what happening that is I take the g3 sprint tot file
Use that tot file for lg flash
My bad english sorry, if you dont understand
If you're asking what will happen if you flash the g3 tot file onto your g2 the short answer will be you'll end up with a very expensive brick.

Hey guys,
I am trying to take my LG G3 back from Cyanogenmod to stock rom.
This should not be an issue, but im finding it hard?
The phone is D855 European 32gb.
I have been able to find a .TOT but not a KDZ rom for it, all i find is the 16gb rom.
I cant figure out how to use the .TOT and searching google leaves me with further questions as to which method i should use?
One says LG Flash Tool one says something else, im just going nuts over this..
A kind sould to point me the in the right direction?
Key points, im on the same pc as i did the root and cyanogen, and the LG drivers are already on the PC, the USB sees the phone on COM port 3.
Thanks
download kdz firmware for your phone by using IMEI check function on this website:
http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/
then follow the kdz instructions here using LG flash tool:

Hello everyone !
So i bought this G3 online (second hand), on th back it sais it's D855 variant 32/3 and it had kitkat.. and wanted to upgrade so i looked it up and found MM update 30B.kdz so i backed up my EFS and flashed it then i got stuck in a bootloop so i flashed another rom LP 21A.kdz and it worked but no network neither WiFi or BT.. USB debugging works but no MTP or PTP connexion and Model name became D855V.. i looked this problem online and someone mentionned it may be caused because it's a different variant, checked my device info on some IMEI check websites and they said it's L990.. i opened it up to confirme and it says it's indeed a LS990 on the motherboard.. so i tried to flash a LS990 rom back but al i could find is a .TOT extension roms which demands a .dll file and check etc.. i tried flashing them using LGUP and LG Flash Tool and they both gave me an erreur message that it's a different device modele.. tried different .dll files LS990....dll , D855....dll and LGUP8974.dll wich is supposed to ignore some checks but still nothing worked.. i think .kdz roms doesn't do that check wich brought me to this problem in the 1st place.. but i couldn't find a .kdz rom for LS990 anywhere.. found US990...kdz but don't think it's the same !
guys please help !.. i'm a civil engineering student whom is drowning in debts and spent the last money i got on this phone because i needed it and can't afford to lose it like that.. you could letteraly save my life ;D
sorry for bad English.
Download LS990 .tot and D855's .dll. Use a hexeditor to change the headers of the ls990 .tot to the name found on the D855's .tot. Flash the generated LS990(now disguised as a D855) .tot unto phone using the D855's .dll
So i installed a hex editor(HxD) and opened the LS990 .tot and searched for every "LS990" header and changed them all to what replaces "D855" in D855 .tot.. stop me if i'm in the wrong way, then saved the work so the LS990 .tot should be disguised as a D855 .tot right ? and i got the D855 .dll already. is that ready to be flashed now ? wouldn't it cause a hardbrick or sth ?.. it's not like i have many options but i just don't want to make things worse..
Ps: while i was in Maths class i was trying o think of sth.. and thought
that i may be able to root it and install TWRP then flash a LS990 rom since i have USB debugging working.. but i have to root it first and the way to root it while on LP is LG One Click Root but i'm having a hard time doing that although i tried everything but i think that's because of the wrong rom.. just wanted to mention it !
Thank you Sir !.. i'm waiting for your comments before i flash the modified Rom !

Hi, I'm currently looking for a Lollipop or KitKat .kdz for use with LGUP to get my D852 back to a safer rooting environnement that has already been experienced with.
I've already tried using LGFlash tool (not the 2014) but I keep getting MODEL INFORMATION CHECK FAIL so I decided to ask here for the KDZ because it couldn't be found on the internet.
Thank you in advance
In the same boat here!
Here is a d852 bell v10b tot. I am not sure if there are any v10 kdz out there. http://stockroms.net/file/LGG3/D852/Bell/BIN_LGD852AT-01-V10b-302-610-JUL-14-2014-0.zip
I have used this and it works. I can't remember how I flashed it though. It was a while ago.

I posted the same thing on reddit and someone responded and sent me a site to download a lollipop KDz but I forgot what the name of the post was. I succesfly downgraded and bricked my phone a little but after by installing a custom recovery and trying to reboot now it's on its way to the LG repair centre in Ontario.

Bought a refurbished G4 from Ebay. My question is can I flash custom rom on this device?
In general the device model shows it is H815 version.But when I do IMEI check it shows F500S.What is the actual variant?
Thanks..
yours best option is ... to dissasemble the phone and remove the motherboard .. search for video on you tube for tear down. take motherboard out and see what is imprinted on motherboard what variant it says then fo from there. software and cases ar easy to edit. but not the imprinted model number on board.
Mine is a f500l but its a refurbished h811 however you cant flash any f500 rom on it because lgup thinks the phone is h815 to do so you first have to gain root then edit build.prop and replace any h815 u see to f500s and also replace the software version to version of the official kdz u downloaded after that u would be able to flash stock rom and gain your original phone's identity
But do not do this before disassembling and getting sure that its a f500s or you would probably brick your phone
@shamescool Even if I use LGUP tool,not ToT method do I need to edit build prop?
If yes then all editing need to be done within build prop only or more than that?
Sorry if I am being noob.
As raptor said disasembly is the only way if its working id leave it be the risk of hard brick is to great.
I am noob with this phone too its near a month its in my hand
no actually build prop way is the safest way another way which is extremely hard for noobs is to use hex editor and edit f500's kdz file and replace f500 with h815 and software version too
just like the build prop method
but the only problem with this is i dont know how to do so with hex editor
i myself tried the root method and it actually worked but kdz file editing is a hard approach if you cant gain root
ask other users and see what you can learn with hex editor and then tell me
Thanks @shamescool & everyone helped here.Certainly I saw on my motherboard it is F500L.So I just flashed the F500L ToT in dowload mode with respective DLL & it worked like a charm.My device now have a relevant rom.Later flashed Nougat too..
Glad to hear it
I recently found a way to trick LGUP with WinHex:
Just open the tot file in it and search for xVLG
then replace every f500 to your rom varient
Then i flashed f500l file on my phone which was successful and my phone bricked
Although everything except sd card works with ls991 qfil files but iam thinking if f500l's tot bricked my phone why the hell f500l is written on the main board
So im gonna try a ls991 tot file and see what happens...sd card is not really a big deal but why the hell the phone bricks??
@shamescool
Thanks & noted..
My phone firstly also got bricked when I used LGUP..Better use LG flash tool 1.8(ToT)flasher with proper DLL for F500L & flash it in download mode..As it had worked for me I hope yours will work to..
LGUP has so many bugs.There is a modified & fixed 8994.DLL which you can try with.Remind me if you need it.
It would be very good if you could provide me some links
@shamescool Use this tool in download mode
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762636004654 & this DLL https://mega.nz/#!pfZw3aAB!z1akOrEahn4iKBv9-R3hKN2O3vetzYfg2agcG_BrO-w.....
If you are using LGUP & getting error follow this method

Thanks in advance
