Hello everyone. I've been trying to root my LG G2 for about 6 hours now. I've followed numerous guides and watched tons of videos. I am now stuck on a black screen with yellow text asking me to "send the package you want to apply." I dont know if this is a driver issue (in which case I am unable to find or install my devices specific drivers,) or if I have already ruined my phone..... if someone could take a few minutes and skype me so that I will be able to better explain / take instructiuon I would be very appreciative. I'm new to this and have rooted and installed custom roms on 2 other phones that were a cake walk so I figured this one would be as well...... oh how wrong I was. Anyway thanks in advance and pm me for my skype info or try to type instructions. Just hope I can keep up and follow correctly. I'm unable to use it while this problem persist so i'm trying to get this figured out as soon as possible. Thanks again!
This is the forum for the G3.
Okay, guys, I screwed up.
I thoughtlessly downloaded this Sphynx mod for the LG G3 and didn't bother to ask Gee, is it for here, or Eurpean phones? Well, it's for European phones. My phone can get data, and it can get texts, but it can't make calls. I've gone though all of the "Restore to Stock" guides, but LG PC Suite tells me that I have the correct OS installed, and LGFlashTool tells me I have the wrong DLL/TOT when I try to flash it with the AT&T D850. Can someone help me fix this? I'll give you all my Dogecoins.
Okay, I figured it out, for anyone who is stupid like me and happens to find this post-
You have to edit the build.pro file to the correct hardware ID
Seriously
It's that easy.
Sigh....I'm a genius.
No, more like a moron.
Thanks for whoever looked at this and didn't make fun of me!

Hello LaserWolf, thank you for the video and clarification. I got a question, actually a couple. Before I go on to that, I am going to explain my background a little bit.
Initially I was on rooted 13a without trouble and last month my phone got into the hardware failure/bootloop issue so I had to send my phone to LG. Just got it back with 25a installed fresh. I am not sure how LG does it, push a force update after fixing or just swap out entire hardware and pushed in MM 25a straight. So, I am wondering-
1) Would it make a difference in consideration of downgrading- whether the 25a version was upgraded from a previous version vs. 25a installed fresh?
2) When downgrading, does it matter if I use 13b rooted version instead of fresh?
Thank you in advance.

to be honest i dont know cause i had a few people saying they was on 25A and it fails on them at 9% some say they succeed to 13B (not 13A) my g4 just broke and in need of a replacement and its going to cost $150 to get it replaced, screen shattered incase you wonder what happened. so i know if i get a replacement i'm pretty sure i be on 25A but i do not have the money for a replacement, its going to be months before i get it unless someone helps, i wont ask for help here as i don't think XDA will be happy with that
my phone was on 13B i did a kdz using lgup and was able to downgrade from 25A to 13B.
if its true with the qfuse what ever its called then i guess we all be stuck on MM but i will find out once i get a replacement and i redo the video if i succeed on the downgrade, you can try it if you like, the worst that will happy is it will fail at 9%

i want to give you an update. i took my broken g4 and did the OTA cause i know when i get a replacement i be on 25A, so i took the OTA to 25A then downgrade it to 13B, again. no issues and i don't why some people are having issues and failing at 9%. i want to blame it on there OS or how things are installed. i redid my OS (downgrade to 8.1. the moron at MS sucks and made 10 worst) and i did the downgrade on my g4 to 13B with no issues. i will post a video to help out with my knowledge on how to get it to work, if it fails then i do not know, all i can say from that point is to contact me, ask me to remote your PC via teamviewer and i take a look at it. please note i ONLY support the VS986
a video of proof will be uploaded here soon

i missed number 2. it is recommended that you use a fresh KDZ insted of a modified one. then root the phone, i have some root videos you can look up that will help you on 13B on my channel

Thanks for all the responses. Sorry I was not get back to you earlier. I tried but hit a brick wall with LG UP, it stopped recognizing my phone, in any way. I even removed all software/drivers and reinstall latest versions of everything, but still no go. Tried switching to various different modes on the phone. Looked up online and followed various tricks suggested at various forums to have LGUP recognize phone, but until yesterday I did not have much luck.
But anyways, I have to put the project off for now since I have faced a larger issue. Because LG wiped it clean, it prompted an activation process, which killed my grandfathered UDP (angry face emoji). Currently arguing with VZW to try to get it back. Meanwhile going to use my old rooted G2. If I don't get it back, I will sell my G4 and use the money to pay VZW's ETF. If I get it back, going to retry rooting the G4.
I recently bought a new HTC One M9 from Ebay brand new, the listing said it was unlocked and gsm. Unfortunately this was not true, so when i finally got it I had to unlock it myself which i managed but i went further and wanted to root my phone, as far as rooting after the step to install Team Win Recovery Project, I followed this tutorial: (youtube.com/watch?v=rOHN8byHAzk&t=941s) and basically im like all the other guys who have their phone stuck in bootloader loop, i've tried the RUU exe's from HTC they end up giving me a "Signagure" (spelt that way) error so i cant use that, i've cycled through multiple micro sd cards to try get the stock os to install in the download boot. i've getting roms they dont work and the loop just continues. Im lost guys...and heartbroken with a new uselss phone...IM WILLING TO PAY(within reason) anyone that can help me to get my phone back to normal.
The phone was from USA under Sprint, I tested my GSM network when I had it unlocked and it worked, I dont care if I can only get it back on Sprint, I just want it working again. Again I'm willing to Pay the person via PayPal to Help me out.
Thank you. you can contact me at [email protected]
Never ever follow video tutorials. They're outdated as soon as they get uploaded.
Depending on the firmware version of your phone you need different files for rooting your M9. That's why you ended up with a bootloop. The video doesn't give you that information.
Take a look at the ReadMe thread. It should explain all you need to know and contains all files you might need for recovering your phone.

THank you for replying im still busy looking for help on how to do this, I stand by my promise i will PayPal anyone that can help me save my device, I consider myself tech efficient in general, im just new to android - this is my first andeoid.
As said before, just look at the ReadMe thread. A bootloop isn't the end of the world. There's no need to pay anyone at this point since all files and information you need are available for free.
Hi everyone, I hope this is in the right place and wonder if anyone knows how to solve this.
I've been following a video on youtube to attempt to downgrade from Android 10 to Android 8 on an LG G7 (G710EM). I've got the phone in download mode, the firmware downloaded and have the LGUP_Common.dll file from the one used in the youtube video. However when I go to flash the firmware it gets to 4% and then comes up with error code 0x81000304 and then something like failed to load gpt from device.
I've tried different common dlls but none of them seem to make a difference. Not sure what else to do. The phone is not rooted nor have I unlocked the bootloader or anything like that.
Any ideas anyone has on how to get past this error in LGUP would be greatly appreciated, or if anyone knows any other way to flash without LGUP.
Thanks in advance.
Although you posted on the Q7 forums ill tell you this, LG Phones are a hell to downgrade. I did my Q7 a few years back. I tried probably 10 different DLLs and i found some modified software that did not even have english language. Just out of morbid curiosity ill try to find the software but my advice is that just when you think you did everything you could, keep searching for another way.
