Upgrade dl and board dl

Does anyone can explain for me when should i use board dl during an installation of a rom?
I am putting a stock rom on my LG G3 and i dont know the difference between those two options, and google was useless.
Thanks

Are you flashing a KDZ or TOT? If KDZ you don't need to touch these files.

Put your imei at the end of this link http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=
If it shows up your device information, go down to the SW part and click on the link and it should download the KDZ for your device. Then use the stock guide to flash it back to stock (takes 5 mins).

It showed only part of the info.
<esn>
<model>
<suffix>
<msn>
Nothing else
And according with all stamps and the imei the phone is F400L but on the settings of the device it is as F400K. Do you know if this is normal? I tried install the TOT of the F400L and it doesnt worked.

Coming from ZVE rooted with a signed TWRP can I just restore this and my EFS? Will I then have a ZVG bootloader and modem? That would sure make this any easy update- THANKS!!
Sorry for not having a handle on this, it's been so hard keep straight which combination of modems, bootloaders, recoveries and ROM's work together.

Zvg modem is backed up through twrp. But your aboot(boot loader) is not copied in twrp. Though zve with twrp, means that you are jelly bean boot loader. Not a match.

Well I cannot get this to even show up in Recovery in TWRP. put in the TWRP>Backups folder, tried the TWRP root folder, nothing works. Only thing I can thing of is he is using a different version of TWRP than me (2.8.6.1)
This really sucks as I am having the notorious issue where my phone is detectable everywhere except for in DOWNLOAD mode. Have tried multiple cables, original LG cable, 2 different PCs (Win7), reinstalling USB drivers, LG/Android...etc. So weird as if the phone is in normal mode, I can see it in windows, but as soon as I go to download mode, it is not discoverable. So this is the only method I can think of that will work. I was going to initially .TOT to ZVE and then OTA or one of the other methods for ZVG. So frustrated.

So when you go to download mode, it stays at the smaller graphic of a download status or the big one that will say you're rooted.
I think we need to find a way to fix your download mode to work.
When you say it doesn't find your phone. You have the big graphic of the download bar and your windows device manager doesn't show anything under com settings?

Device Manager will still show LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (41)...made sure it wasnt a port issue already
It goes into download mode, top says Firmware Update,shows the Do Not Unplug the USB connection......message with the 0% progress bar, and at the bottom says B66 and in red ROOTED. But this is where ADB loses contact with the device. 'ADB Devices' comes back blank and 'ADB wait-for-device' just waits forever. When the phone is running normally I can get a response from 'ADB devices' with the correct device ID.
I am sure this doesn't matter, but I was on BlissPoP 3.2 (LP 5.1), then TWRP'd back to a ZVE rooted I had saved stupidly thinking that would help.

I'm sure different cables give same result. I know when I side loaded the zvg update, different cables made a difference on how fast it transfered.
Only other thing I can think of is to try replace the laf partition with the correct auto-rec.
Since you went back to one kind of ROM. Maybe this might help it

No stock LP tot or kdz?
Sent from my LG Optimus G Pro E980

I think i borked my esn/meid with this. While my phone was soft bricked and would only flash zvg roms, I tried this, but left EFS checked out of habit. I think it restored a broken EFS because my esn one my phone doesn't match the one on my account that has been there 6 months. This is the only efs mucking about that ive done... but of course, i dont have any twrp efs backups stored anywhere.

Downgrade bootloader without flashing entire kdz?

Is there a way to downgrade the bootloader without flashing an entire kdz?
I tried fastboot flash and dd an aboot.img extracted from a 4.4 kdz but I still get secure boot error.
Does anyone know if using the 4.4 bootloader on the F460 (NOT f400) will work with bumped images like the other models?
Also is it possible to download old kdz files from LG servers? Its almost impossible to find old F460 kdz, the few I found I'm not entirely confident in their integrity.

Is aboot.img the only image you tried to manually flash? There is also a boot.img you could also try flashing.

I thought boot.img is just the kernel? I flashed a bumped version of the stock boot I pulled from my phone. That's working fine hasn't broken anything.
Is a non stock boot.img necessary just to install recovery?

You're right, boot.img is the kernel. Ignore what I said previously.
You could use the app autorec to "unlock" your bootloader. It essentially does the same thing you are trying to do; downgrade the bootloader.

I wish. There is virtually no support for the F460 from anyone. I'm trying to port stuff to it and I already have test builds ready but I can't even run them. I followed the assumed method of autorec manually but it doesn't seem to work. I'm probably missing a few small but important details.

If this is new I feel like it deserves a thread, I think a lot of F460 owners gave up a while ago.

LMG820UM Problems

I have the LG G8 from Verizon. About a year ago I was trying to root it and got so frustrated with it that I ended up deleting all the partitions on. So bad that all it can do is go into edl mode. Well today I downloaded the chinese kdz tools and I've used it to extract I think dz to dz. I don't know what to do with the G82010g_00_VZW_US_0918_img file it made. Please somebody help me get my phone back to working.

So, bad situation, as you know. Follow this link to a windows based kdz extractor tool.
Hopefully that will extract your vzw kdz. If so, flash abl, boot, laf and dtbo partitions to both slots using edl. That should give you download mode so you can use lgup to refurbish the vzw kdz.
I've never had to do this, so not sure what the result will be. Since you deleted all partitions, I don't know if they will be 'rebuilt' completely, with imei etc. But at this point, you've nothing to lose.
good luck

you said you deleted all partitions didn't you? How did you do that? It was edl mode and qfil wasn't it? As that's what's in guides section to root device.
that's what you use. Except this time, don't make the same mistake. This time, follow the guide to and flash partitions.
there are no other ways.
