LG G3- Use FLASHIFY To Flash Stock recovery.img? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Use FLASHIFY to flash stock recovery.img?
I´ve tried during weeks different methods and with differenet cables and computers and is impossible that any PC recognize my LGG3 D855.
I want to send it to LG Technical Assistance (maybe micro USB connection is broken) but i need to put a stock rom to use my warranty. Now i use Cloudy 2.5 rom, and is impossible to flash a TOT or KDZ using Flashtools because is not recognized and can´t go into download mode so...would this work?:
1.- flash a kitkat stock rom from TWRP
2.- then using flashify, flash a stock recovery.img file. (i´ve tried to restore it throuhg AREC with a backup that sent me a friend of mine, but didn´t worked)
3.- finally, unroot with SuperSU
Will this work? Is it possible to go back to stock recovery using flashify and an original recovery.img file?
I´ve been with this more than a month and i´m really desperate...i need to find a solution
Thank you in advance!!!!

Even after installing the latest Windows driverset from LG, your PC still doesn't recognize your phone?

Try THIS tutorial to flash your kdz.. Also it's wierd because if you succesfully flash an kdz file (using any method) you should be completly (re)locked and unrooted.

i can barely remember what i was doing, im sorry
if you come from 4.4 you can flash through the lgspst from the teenybin thread the 975 kdz file by renaming it to bin, and then because you are with the ls970 dll file, you can root it, flash cwm through freegee then go to cwm and clear everything (data cache sddata system dalvik nothing else) and then go to download mode again and flash the original e975 kdz through the kdz updater, its a lengthy process but thats how i did it until i or someone else find another more short way

Back to stock...but no download mode!!!

Well, I´m on Cloudy 2.5, rooted and with TWRP. The thing is that, since 3-4 weeks ago, it´s impossible to get detected my LGG3 by different PCs, and i tried with different USB cables too...I install all kind of drivers too without results.
I´m thinking maybe it´s telephone micro USB what isn´t working, so i want to send my mobile to LG Technical Support, but i have to put all things back to stock to use warranty. I can´t go into download mode, so i can´t use flashtools to flash KDZ or TOT.
So other option is to flash a stock (.ZIP) rom from TWRP and then use flashify to install a stock recovery.img. Will this work to have a stock mobile and send it to LG?
If there were any option to flash a stock rom form TWRP, included stock recovery would be great, but i think is not possible.
SUMMARY: I need to go back to stock to use warranty, but using only TWRP or other apps like flashify...download mode and phone detection in PC impossible for now
Thank you in advance!!!
you need a full stock kdz file and download mode as far as I know...
f400 download mode doesnt work
Please help i have f400k and my phone stucked. I cant get into download mode. Please help.
I tried everything...but I still have "unknown device" on my computer...
There is no way to come back to stock for LG Technical Service? Maybe with a bumped rom flashed from TWRP and unrooted? Or LG T.S. will realize and i coulnd´t use my warranty?
OK...i only want to come back to stock to use warranty with LG service, but I have no download mode, so I´m thinking other method...will be possible this????
1.- Flash using TWRP a stock .ZIP kitkat rom
2.- Download a stock recovery 10A. (recovery.img)
3.- Finallly, flash stock recovery.img using flashify
will this work? is it possible to use flashify to restore stock recovery.img ?
If i could do that, i will recover my warranty again

How did you try to get into download mode? Twrp can boot into download mode and also did you try the manual method to get into download mode?
Also how did you you flash the kdz because technically when you flash a kdz it should wipe twrp recovery and return you to stock recovery.

Internal storage is empty and the download mode don't go, I flashed the same firmware for unroot the phone but don't go. I've tried doing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-fix-hard-brick-recovery-guide-t3132359 and the phone goes.

E980 Problem & Need Help

I have E980 that has secure boot error, and it boots into CWM 6.0.4.4 . However, it cant read / mount external , so i cant flash anything from microSD.
So, how do I upgrade to TWRP 2.8.7.0 and flash Slim LP ( is this latest and best ROM for this device ? ) TIA
PS : does sideloading the twrp recover work ?
There was a flashable zip of TWRP somewhere in TWRP thread, but generally, best way would be to simply flash it via flashify. You can always try to flash roms from internal SD or via sideload, but I'm not sure that old CWM will work with newer zips - it wasn't working well even back in Kitkat days, not now.
You can always flash Philz CWM, and use it as a starting point, and update to TWRP as soon as possible. Not that there is much going on for this device.

Best approach would be to flash stock Jellybean, then root, install busybox, flash TWRP (can't remember if you have to flash one from FreeGee first and then update, last time I did a full reflash was long time ago), do a NAND backup and flash whatever you like after that, because half of our stuff is based on JB, even recoveries won't read KitKat partitions scheme well (kitkat has different modem partitions compared to jellybean so there is always a possibility you won't be able to backup and restore EFS, or you'll get a partial backup, because there are 3 EFS partitions).
Once you flash on Jellybean base, no further changes are necessary.
problems !!!

I got another problem while trying the LG flash tool stock ATT V20 tot file ( cant find kdz for E980 ) . I followed the guide , downloaded all necessary files, phone can be put into download mode . However, it wont show COM/Port in my laptop and show no device list in adb shell . It cant be driver problem becuz I tried to reinstall a few times and other phones can be detected fine in adb shell . Any idea ?
PS: Phone shows a yellow mark USB Composite device instead of LGE mobile com/port though .

You need LG's unified driver installed. Also, make sure that you have E980 (there are 5+ variants, all differences in firmware). Probably it would be best to download firmware according to IMEI.

Like i said i got proper driver installed and recognized by my other LG devices. I got it resolved now . The issue is with USB 3.0 . You have to use USB 2.0 for the LG Flash Tool and driver to work properly. This is also stated in the other threads . Thanks again

How to downgrade from WW4.21.40.223 to WW_2.12.40.11?

Hi,
I have the flickering screen problem with my phone and it is out of warranty so i can't send it back to repair.
I tried upgrading to the latest firmware, tried factory reset, wipe cache, installing google launcher, enabling the HW thing in developer mode and nothing worked.
I read that WW_2.12.40.11 version doesn't have the screen problem and i want to try it, but i wanna be sure i'm doing it the right way.
1) I read that i can't just put the wanted firmware in my phone and install the update but i must also flash the matching recovery to flash the wanted version - is it true?
2) Can i downgrade straight from my version to the lower one because i think the other way around, i need to have higher version for upgrading to the higher version i now have.
3) Where can i find the adb driver for this?
Thanks
You can downgrade via ext sd card using the downgrade version from asus > 52.20.40.196 LP which when installed , reboots to 2.20.40.196LP
When putting WW-UL- 52.20.40.196.zip.zip ,make sure to put an extra .zip on the end in file manager or in sd from pc first and reboot.
If you then put WW-UL-2.12.40.11-user.zip.zip (extra .zip) on sd or in file manager . You might get that to give you notification after a reboot too. Although i have not tested to downgrade that far .
You must use the first 52.20 blah blah fw to initially downgrade first though. Ignore this and you are liable to brick. Here >
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE551ML/UL-Z00A-WW-52.20.40.196-user.zip
See my downgrade via ext sd video and thread , familiarise yourself with the process first !

Just a question before i try your method: I already installed 2.12.40.11 recovery.img into the phone. can i still use your method or should i first flash 4.21.40.223 recovery.img back to the phone?

OK, it's weird, i did flash the 2.12.40.11 recovery.img to the phone using adb and it was said in the console that the process completed, but now when i enter recovery mode it still shows me 4.21.40.223 version.
OK, I did downgrade with your method and it works great, but when i try to downgrade fro that version to the version i want to try i get error that i cant install the package over the existing newer version.
Just to inform.

If you want to downgrade to such an old version, find the .raw file of that version (search here on XDA) and flash it via Asus Flash Tool.

Thanks for the advice.
I searched and found raw firmware versions but no the one i'm looking for.
Is there any way i can install the official firmware i have? i also found recovery.img, boot.img, droidboot.img of the version i want.

If you have all the img partitions you can always try installing via fastboot commands but i really recommend using a raw with Asus Flash Tool...

Hi, thanks i'l try that.
does it matter in what order i flash this 3 files?
Edit: If i already flashed the ROM can i just flash the boot.img and droidboot.img or do i need to do the whole process including flashing the ROM again?
Is your screen flickering problem like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRuxTefNcKw
If its like that I was told its a LCD hardware problem which gets fixed by replacing LCD.
Update:
Well, I installed firmware 2.12.40.11 and it worked fine for several days but then the screen started to flicker again.
i started to update the devices with OTA updates and then i saw that in firmware WW_2.20.40.174 the screen didn't flicker.
i had further updates and then the screen started to flicker again.
i tried to flash recovery.img, boot.img and droidboot.img but not the device only enters fastboot mode but when i try to enter normal boot or recovery mode, it only comes back to fast boot mode.
any suggestion what should i do to unbrick the phone?
Thanks
