Hi everyone,
I got F240L for about 2 months.
Got software problem last months from a post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380374
Repair to some phone shop, he got no clue neither. Left my phone in CWM.
So, I use KDZ Updater + download KDZ file from pan.baidu.com (get it to work again).
I got curious, so I install Dungeon Hunter 4 again. Again, software problem occurs, even I uninstall the game. KDZ Updater and LG Mobile Support Tool left my phone stuck in U+ LTE logo.
Browse the web, then I read someone whose using LG Flashtool (it need DLL and TOT file) to flash the phone.
Search those two files every web, finally got it.
LG Flashtool step by step guide http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f177/lg-flash-tool-free-no-need-b2b-user-pass-1628819/index2.html
And got LGUP_GKV.DLL from extracting F240L10t_00.kdz from pan.baidu.com (see attachment), this file has the same size for F240K and F240S, so it must be compatible for F240L, F240S, F240K.
And got TOT file from http://www.gaojituan.com/thread-90-1-1.html or http://optimusforums.com/threads/f240-optimus-g-pro-firmware-downloads.7679
I hope this solution might help someone who ever got this problem.
NB : After 600 seconds flashing progress using LG Flashtool, don't put your phone in LG SOFTWARE MODE. Somehow, the phone got it reboot in DOWNLOAD MODE, and LG Flashtool will reflash your phone for the 2nd time (start from 1% progress again).
It not work with Hard Brick (black screen). tried it, not success.

has anyone started to jtag fix the hard brick yet ??
Hard brick issue
Sorry, I'm also a noob here.
Can your phone go to DOWNLOAD MODE ?
I read on hongkong website (got it translate from google) 2 weeks ago, someone already try LGNPST, KDZ Updater, R&D Tool, LG Mobile Support Tool, still didn't work. The other guy recommend that you should have it fix by LG guy in Korea, or use JTAG device.
I even don't know what JTAG device is.
Maybe someone in this forums can explain you how.
Sorry if my word can be misleading.
I'll update the thread to delete the word "Hard Brick"
You are a wonderful and creative
It has succeeded with me
Glad could help.
In the mean time, enjoy this super AWESOME phone.

Could you please provide instructions on how to use KDZ updater? Where did you download it from or if you could PM? thanks
I'm downloading software via LG Mobile support but at the moment its going to take 30hrs!!
KDZ updater & LG Mobile Support Tool won't help.
You need to download LG Flashtool 1.5 is the latest version on the link that on #1 post. Once you download, follow the procedure how to install the LG Flashtool.
LG Flashtool needs 2 files (DLL & TOT) to flash your phone.
You can download DLL file from the attachment on #1 post. The attachment is compressed in RAR format. You can extract it using Winzip, Winrar, or 7zip.
The TOT file is on the 2 link #1 post (chinese website & optimus forums). You need to download the approriate type according to your phone (F240L, F240K, F240S) each files about 2 GB size. I suggest you use any download manager, to prevent disconnect from bad interference or time out. I can't post the TOT file here too due to slow network in my country (Indonesia) .
After you collect those DLL & TOT files, here's step by step :
1. Disconnect any internet connection
2. Set the computer time before Juli 15th, 2012 ( I set March 1st, 2012)
3. Double click LG Flashtool. Username, password, and Registration key are on the link #1 post
4. Insert DLL file in DLL column. Browse to where you put the DLL file.
5. Insert TOT file in Software column. Browse to where you put the TOT file.
6. Click OK
7. Click the GEAR icon, set only port #1 that ticked. Other ports are UNTICKED. Click OK.
8. Press & hold volume UP and DOWN, while connecting the USB cable to your computer (set to DOWNLOAD MODE). Until the phone shows "DOWNLOAD MODE" on the center of the screen.
9. Open System Properties. Set COM port for LG Handset using port 41.
10. Click Arrow Right in LG Flashtool, disconnect USB cable for 5 seconds. Reconnect USB cable.
11. The FLASH process in progress, wait for 600 seconds and shows green background say "PASS".
12. Disconnect USB cable and close the LG Flashtool application.
13. Release the battery, wait for 3 minutes.
14. Do FACTORY RESET in SETTINGS. End of FLASHING process.
Enjoy !!!
Thanks for that very clear instructions.

PLZ TELL ME HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD TOT FILE baidu is not working
You can download from http://www.gaojituan.com/thread-90-1-1.html or http://optimusforums.com/threads/f240-optimus-g-pro-firmware-downloads.7679/
Click on the latest TOT file according to its date and your phone (F240L, F240S, F240K).
I've test on F240L v10i from http://www.gaojituan.com/thread-90-1-1.html works very well on pan.baidu.com.
Which file are you try to download ? Which phone do you use ?
I tried the procedures you guys mentioned above, but my phone does not seem to be being flashed.
Everything seems alright, up until disconnect the USB cable and wait for 5 secs to reconnect, but after reconnect, nothing happen....
mine is F240S, does it matter? How do I extract DLL from TOT or KDZ files?
Thanks in advanced
Dennis
---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------
I actually finally got it flashed, all the procedures are correct, just need to time that 5 secs accurately.
Also, anyone with F240S needs to stay with the version of Flashtool that OP provided, any version higher than 1.4 seems giving me error.
Thanks very much for the info.
Dennis
Please help...
Guys plzzz help... I have F240s. first i was rooted on stock and then flashed cwm along with loki patch file (easy-cwm-f240s.zip file). i wanted EDGE on my
phone (i m in pakistan and only gprs works here on this phone) so i flashed panama rom by flash tool but lost the signal service.. i Wiped system,data,cache in CWM and restored data of my stock
rom from CWM but still no signals ( mobile model was still showing up e980h from panama rom) then i factory reset and flashed Cm 10.1 of f240s (i think i may have wiped system ,cache and date before it). now when i power on, LG logo appears on screen and in left top side it says:
Secure booting Error
Cause: boot Certification Verify
unfortunately i also had below 30% battery when i flashed cm10.1. NOW if i go to download mode and use mobile support tool
and flash tool to update it says: battery level is low and upgrade is unavailable, fully recharge ur battery and try again.
I Have used a battery stand charger to charge for 3 hrs but after checking phone software setting for 3,4 minutes it still says the same thing about battery again n again. should i let it charge to 100% no
matter how long it takes and then try or do something elsee... plzzz helppp
I tried to flash a D850 with lg flashtool and it gave me a " partition change error ", so i've put the dll that doesnt verifie the version , the device start flashing but then it turned off and became a hardbrick.
So, i tried to unbrick it with BoardDiag and got the error "No response from the device. Check PMIC first and if still boot problem, replace AP" when i repeat i get "device was not found in dload trying flash programmer"
i get it that the BoardDiag doesnt do the AP msm8975ac , so if you could help it would be great
P.S. when i use androidbrick_G3_fix.exe , and choose D850 i get Hello requst error , but when i choose D851 i passes and no error found but cant repair because device log out and in after scan is over , so does that mean i have a D851 ??? coz it is written D850 in the back of the phone
i really need ur help
NOTE: Before we begin, let me tell you that from my experience the D851 does not require shorting at all. it will be identified as Qualcomm HS-USB in a brick state without any opening up, check your device manager!
Hello guys, I spent 2 weeks analyzing hex files in order to revive a D851 that I got my hands on. It was not an easy journey but I would like to share this with the devs or people who are looking at bring their bricks to life.
What I did was actually hack the Sahara programmer files that WillCracker (BoardDiag) programs use. This comes in the attached files. Seems like there was no site on the Internet sharing this unique files and thus not allowing us to unrbick the D851.
For a more detailed view of how I got these modified files created please look at this post
But with this uniquely created files we now have unbrickable D851's , I have revived one D851 phone that I had dead. Right now it already booted into download mode and it is loading the *.tot.
Instructions
Connect your D851 phone without battery via USB to a Windows Box.
Make sure you have installed the HS USB 9008 Drivers installed. If so you will find something called "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COMxx)" under device manager, make sure you check the COM Port number, as you will need this later on the next step.
Open up BoardDiag.exe (from the downloaded files here, as it includes modified files specific for D851) and select: B2 (MSM8974AC), and pick up your COM Port.
Under 'Image Extraction' select your bin which should be the *.tot file (I used LG_D851.10C_TOT&DLL.7z).
Hit the 'extract' button into a directory of your choice.
Pick under 'COM Port' the 'Target Dir' and select where you have extracted the *.tot. This will allow us to start flashing the partition files.

}
Select on the checkbox "AP check".
Check the box called "RESTORE BOOT IMG", in here start picking up the partitions, write each one of them (not system, userdata or cache -- those are worthless for now), and ONLY in the end flash LAF and then finally SBL*. After this you will see the phone boot up with the battery icon since you do not have a battery connected. This is when you can tell you have now the bootloader reflashed.
Unplug the USB cable, insert the battery into the phone and hold UP while hooking up the USB cable again. After doing this your phone will boot up in download mode and now you can go ahead and flash the correct firmware using a tool such as LGFlashTool.
Below you can see a screenshot of the dmesg showing that it is already in download mode (after being in QC HS USB 9008 mode)... I am so !"#$ happy
I flashed the partitions like in this other guide but please use the attached file or else it won't work.
NOTE: Do download the attached Willcracker Version I attached specific for the D851, this is a modified one and is the only type of program I managed to use to revive my phone. I cannot stop insisting that any other set of files will not work on our D851, which is what most people reported on the forums for some time.
EXTRA: Disable Windows driver update, updating the Qualcomm HS-USB driver can cause conflicts and problems on the process.

No problem man. I am also so glad to have unrbicked that phone as I can now give it to my dad as his phone (a really old Samsung Galaxy S3 was dying of slowness). I hated to have a ~$200.00 brick :cyclops: not being used! And I am a big fan of this LG G3 phone.
Btw, what I did after unrbciking first after fastboot started was that I shutted down my phone by removing the battery, and disconnected the USB cable. Then I reinsrted the battery and put it in download mode by using the: 'Keep pressing up and insert the USB cable'... and after that re-flashed the *.tot using downloaded mode as it is way faster with LGFlashTool.
Amazing work man… my D851 is working now. Earlier it failed to boot in all other methods. Thank u so much
@Omar-Avelar , Man, today i've seen my pm box and checked your message and looked here, nothing to say just.

I've faced the same fate as you because I flashed a D855 on a Phone that was a refurbished D851. Took me like a month to figure out how to unbrick it.
By the looks of it it seems that your phone still has the LAF partition of the D855 but you recovered the other bootloder partition files allowing you to boot into the download mode 'thinking' it is a D855.
I suggest you use the LGUP_8974.dll instead of the 'supposed' D851 *.dll in the *.tot files... I think that will flash the partitions regardless if it is a D855 or 851 and force enter the files.

Well, that images posted before whas with lgup_8974.dll and gives me the errors, I think I need to modify the hex file to put it as a "d855" and makes the program recognizes it, me fear is that if I flash the d851 firmware maybe I can loose the imei a mobile information ( before the brick the phone has d855 software ) or it will not erase my efs partition ? What u recommend me ? Flash d855 or d851 tot?

If it is a D851 motherboard but seen as a D855 via firmware I would try using the *.dll of D855 and the *.tot file of D851.
Seems like while being in HS-USB 9008 mode one of the partitions was not flashed correctly and the downloader mode still sees it as D855. The other option would be to brick it again with D855 *.dll and *.tot if the first try does not work. And while being in HS-USB 9008 mode please make sure you do flash most of the partitions there (not system, nor userdata, not cache) but the rest and end up with LAF > SBL* partition. That will flash the correct *.tot files for D851 and hopefully you will see the D851 now as D851 in the downloader mode.
I believe IIRC that the LAF partition has the downloader, and that's the one I believe is still written from when you overwrote it as a D855. If you wrote SBL* before LAF it might have booted with the LAF partition of the D855.
All done! Phone works and is alive!, @Omar-Avelar i've did what i told you, i've used a hex editor in a linux distro and modified the first "D851" mention to "D855" and goodbye CrossDL error, flashed sucessly, now my phone it's a real D851 and its hardunbricked! thanks all to you, you are great!.
Thank you, sir. You are live saver.
I have bricked my phone (d851) and I had been looking for days and nothing works.
Fortunately, I went to this thread and had successfully unbrick my phone.
God bless you.

My case is almost similar. As per software info it was d855 before bricking. So I flashed mm kdz for d855 and bricked.then I opened the cover and found this has a d851 board. So ,as per this tutorial I flashed everything for d851.phone booted but booting into fastboot mode only no download mode. Then I followed some other tutorial and again flashed laf. Img .now it can enter in download mode. But have a big problem .As it was a real d851 rom it cant connect to 3g net work here in india(2g ok). Now I am so disappointed because such a good phone with 2g only.....
But how initially d855 rom was flashed on d851 board???? There may be a way..
Ofcourse only beacuse of thread my g3 is live now. Please help me to get full out put from that.
There are threads to manually add bands to qualcomm device.Can I go for that?

Yes, it is such a great feeling to be able to bring the phone back from the death.
BTW, I do believe also the phone bands can be changed using QPST since I have seen Argentinian D855 phones changed to D855P (Adding another LTE band).
You might need another phone reference (LG G3 that worka on the band you want) and using QPST might let you modify some specifics.
Go ahead and Google translate this post for analysis: http://www.grupoandroid.com/topic/112493-guia-habilitar-bandas-lte-para-argentina-en-d855-int/
Another success in reviving the dead lg g3

NOTE: Do download the attached Willcracker Version I attached specific for the D851, this is a modified one and is the only type of program I managed to use to revive my phone. I cannot stop insisting that any other set of files will not work on our D851, which is what most people reported on the forums for some time.

Omar-Avelar said:
[*]Open up BoardDiag.exe (from the downloaded files here, as it includes modified files specific for D851) and select: B2 (MSM8974AC), and pick up your COM Port.

Modified Files huh??
The miracle file is a file that has been around all along. It can be found in the Smartboot Diag Tool. Its called LGD851_ATMO_TMUS.mbn.
All you have to do is rename this file to 2nd_loader.hex and put it inside the Board DIag Tool > Model > B2(MSM8974AC) Folder. Replace this file with the old one.
Now start Board Diag tool and load and decompress your tot file, and flash away.
For other models, you could try renaming your devices mbn from the Smartboot Diag tool to 2nd_loader.hex
wow

I am currently in class. Will check when I get home.
It has taken me many days to find a tool to flash KDZ AND TOT since many people show an error at 4% of FlashTool and there is no solution so this is your Post.
LGUP is a tool used by Lg for phones that still have a guarantee such as a system error or a software error.
Compatible with Windows vista/7/8/10 No macOS No Linux
Thanks to DroidTH for giving me a link
ok let's start
Renember: All will be erased in the internal memory.
Your warrantly is now avoid
Visit [How-to] Flash firmware KDZ G2 G3 G4 by LGUP On Youtube to the link
Remember that it is not channel advertising, it's just that I can not add external links
Steps to follow
Make sure you have the drivers installed correctly
Download The KDZ / TOT
Connect Lg g3 to pc (No need to enter download mode manually)
Unzip (LGUP-G2-G3.ZIP)
First install (LGUP_8974_DLL_Ver_0_5_CODEFIRE)
Second Install (LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3)
Enter the LGUP program that is probably hosted on your desktop
Select the Upgrade box and select the KDZ / TOT file
Wait for the process to finish (Do not disconnect the phone)
At 80% the phone will restart (not yet to be disconnected)
When you reach 100% the phone must have turned on or starting on the TMO logo
If it does not start
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ----
If it does not start
---------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -----
If it restarts constantly and does not enter the system (It restarts before reaching the optimizing application)
Turn off the phone completely and remove the battery
Wait 10 seconds. And put it back
Press Vol- and on when logo is released and press them again.
Give you everything
EYE: all files on the internal SD card will be erased
A factory reset will be made and then it must be turned on normally.
If it still does not start, remove the chip (SIMCARD)
Well that's all if you have any questions please write
Sorry if I needed something, it's just that I'm new and I do not know anything about xda
I hope you understand.
When I run LGUP it says Model is Unknown, then gives an error telling me I have to choose a known Model. Drivers are installed, USB debugging is enabled, not sure what else there is missing. Please help.
my phone: (T-Mobile lg g3 d851 30e)

sorry you had problems
the error is one of the drivers lg
you should plug it into one of the main USB ports on your PC.
or rather entering device manager and re-assign drivers to ports.
Have you downloaded the lgup for lg g3 and g2?
Drivers are installed, USB debugging is enabled, LG PC Suite OK.not sure what else there is missing.
Download : lgup-g2-g3.zip
Solve it FIX
good after I found the problem LGUP
roms apparently change the model of the device as it changes cm11 to build Cyanogenmod 11 xx
AOSP - to AOSP rom 2 etc.
the solution would be to install a stock rom clean no matter if v10 v30 etc. The important thing is not having changed the model number and manufacturer.
I hope I have helped and sorry
that includes cloudy fa's roms

Hi !
How do I do all the above ?
My PC recognize the phone without problem, but LGUp won't start unless I "select a known model"... (LGUp window shows : Model = Unknown ; COM Ports = [COM5, CloudyG3] )
Problem is that my phone is softbricked after installing a new ROM, and I can only enter download mode (not even recovery). I just want to downgrade it and reflash a LG's stock ROM (or whatever ROM that would make my phone actually work !!! )
Can you help me do that ?

LGUP "UNKNOWN" and FlashTool failure with LG G3 (and possibly others)
When I downloaded and installed LGUP with the DLL installer stated to be for the LG G3, the program did not recognise the phone, reporting it as "UNKNOWN". The LG FlashTool also failed, reporting the IMEI and PID as NULL. After spending a lot of time on this, I twigged that the DLL file in the LGUP model directory was for the 8994 processor; but the G3 has an 8974, quite different and incompatible. I located the DLL installer MSI file for 9874 devices, uninstalled LGUP and the DLLs from Windows add/remove programs, ran the 9874 DLL installer and reinstalled the LGUP program, and everything worked.
The file is, amongst other places, on https://uptoandroid.com/download-lg-up-tool-for-lg-smartphone-latest/. Do not download DLL files for LG G4, LG V10, LG G3, LG Stylo, filename LGUP_Common_DLL_Ver_1_0_28_5 .msi, but instead For LG phones based on Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MSM8974 SoC, filename LGUP_8974_DLL_Ver_0_5.msi:.
HTH
23 Aug 19: I find that I've rediscovered the wheel. Exactly what I said was posted in 2016 - if I'd found it, it would have saved me a lot of time!
I have LG G4 and I flashed (upgraded) it through LGUP from 5.1 to 6.0 a couple of days back. This is what has happened.
Before Flashing:
Hardware - LG-H815T
Android - 5.1
Software - H81510p
Baseband - MPSS.BO.2.5.c3-00072-M8992FAAAANAZM-1
Kernel - 3.10.49
Build Number - LMY47D
IMEI - 357766060879504
After Flashing:
Hardware - LG-H818
Android - 6.0
Software - V20a-OPT2-HQ
Baseband - MPSS.BO.2.5.c3-00101-M8992FAAAANAZM-1
Kernel - 3.10.84
Build Number - MRA58K
IMEI - Same
This is what the problems are:
1. The phone turns on but the screen stays black all the time. There is one way to turn on the screen and that is by removing the battery and plugging it to the usb cable and when the screen blinks for the missing battery indication, holding down the power button and inserting the battery. This way the phone turns on as if it has no issues.
2. The internal storage is showing 22gb instead of 32gb.
3. I am unable to flash (upgrade or refurbish) the phone through LG Flash Tool 2014, LGUP and LG Bridge. All softwares partially work through the process and according to my analysis give an error at the point after establishing connection with the mobile when its the time to access the internal storage for writing system files on the phone's storage.
4. I am unable to conclude the model number of the phone because before flashing it was H815T, after flashing it is H818 and when I connect it to LG Bridge, it shows the connected phone as F500K.
5. I tried to unlock the bootloader of the phone by visiting the LG Developer site and when I came down to filling in the information of the phone like IMEI and Device ID derived from the instructions outlined, it does not accept H815 as the model number against the Device ID of my phone and secondly does not list H818 and F500K in the dropdown options.
I don't know what wrong have I done in my life to end up in a situation like this???
Hello there,
To solve this you need to edit a H815 tot file(if u dont have one download here https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24723757092307739) in a Hex editor(here a portable version of HxD wich i prefer http://mh-nexus.de/downloads/HxDde.zip, just download and run).
Open .tot in HxD, then you CTRL+F for "xVLG-H815" and replace H815 or whatever your tot have along with 'xVLG' to the model your phone is being recognized as(F500K in your case).
Almost done, just save and flash in LGUP using refurbish option
