[Q] [HELP] Unrooting LG G3 V10l

Hi guys i'm new to all this soo here is what i did.
I recently rooted my lg g3 V10l-EUR-XX and now i want to unroot it ... but the problem is that i found only the kdz file without the dll file ...
Can you please help me find it or if it's possible to downgrade it from v10l ? Sorry if i said something strange or impossible but i'm a complete newbie with the roots and stuff

If you download the LG PC Suite and click on "Restore Upgrade errors" it should reflash the current version, but i'm not sure as it might download the latest which is lollipop.
You could also flash your KDZ file using the LG Flash Tool. Without the need for a DLL file.

Because i have been reading a lot of post this week and everything messed up. That's why i didn't see that the LG Flash Tool doesn't require .dll file. I just brought my LG to stock and everything is fine ... Thank you for ''enlighting'' me ! :good:

In fact i have one more question ... probably a silly one but still. When the LG was still rooted i got an update for v20e i think but i didn't install it because i assumed that it will be bad and it will ''brick'' my phone ... and now when it's stock i don't have that update. What should i do or it is just a matter of time the update to show up ?

Since you device in now unrooted there will be no problem in updating. The update may show up some time, but you can always flash it if you want to.
NOTE: Lollipop CAN NOT be rooted.

and this can take between an hour and several days, so either wait for it or flash as suggested.

TMO Update

Just got my D851 with stock 5.0.1 preinstalled.
Its telling me to update the phone.
Has anyone updated via the air method?
Not sure what it is but wanted to be sure if its MM or 5.1.1 before I moved forward

As a rule of thumb if you plan to root, you should NEVER update. Updating will usually patch any exploits the devs use to root our phones. It depends on what you want to do with your phone down the line.... Update at your own risk.

@tiguy99, also it's definitely not MM. I'm not even sure 5.1.1 was ever released either.
I know the D851 has been unlocked from the get-go (didn't need bumping like the others in the past) but as the previous post alluded to, the OTA just might lock it down. Be sure and be careful.
LG G3 D851, PAC-MAN ROM, Tapatalk 4.9.5

Sorry, my post was not helpful. Here is something you can do: long press on the update notification and click on the "info" icon and disable the notification. This way you are less likely to accidentally update, and it won't bother you as much.

If it is a stock D851 running on Tmo, then the update is probably the recent update of 20e (released back on June 9) to 20g (released back in October). There has been a lot of that just within the last 60 days. However, it is still Android 5.0.1. Tmo has NOT upgraded our G3 to anything beyond 5.0.1 yet, but has committed to updating us to Marshmallow Android 6, probably sometime in the next 3 months.
As for the update, all 20g did was patch the Stagefright vulnerability that had been discovered back in August. That was a vulnerability in Lollipop wordwide on all carriers. Look at your phone info under settings. If you are on 20e, it will not hurt at all to upgrade. But in any case, the update you are seeing is DEFINITELY NOT 5.1.1 and it is DEFINITELY NOT Marshmallow. It is still 5.0.1. Good luck.
Please hit the THANKS button if I helped you.

I got mine week ago and updated it didn't root but used Newest Root Method in general section and finally got it.

That being said, I made the mistake of updating. Now I'm having a very hard time trying to root my D851 20g. Can I restore to Kitkat for the purpose of rooting?

Dude this is the wrong forum for a question like this. Should be in Q&A or General. You'll get better answers there.

No need. Google 'Newest root method' D851 xda download file thru your browser double click on windows batch file. Follow prompts. Hope this helps you out.

I too got my D851 last week. It had KK 4.2.2 and wanted to update. So I decided to go ahead and do the OTA. The final result was 5.0.1 D85120g. I don't think there are any higher updates yet. Rooted without issue using Newest Root Method mentioned above, again, without issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197
However, if you are still unsure, you can always downgrade to a lower version. You will have to do a search for D85110r in the KDZ file version and find the loader for that file. Took me a little time to find it but I have both the KDZ file and loader.

I believe it's because you've downloaded 20G. Probably got patched. Did the method I mentioned work out for you?

Hello,
My T-Mobile LG G3 was upgraded to D85130E by carrier about 3-weeks ago. and i am facing screen freeze and blackout issue for ever 2 mins & battery life is reduced to only 3 hours. I am not support from T-Mobile, since i am outside of warranty period. I did the factory reset and still the issues are same.
Anybody suggest quick fix for this problem?
Tried to downgrade to D85120E (Lollipop) thru KDZ file:

Any other flash tools to overcome this issue?
Advance Thanks

Any root option available under d85130e update patch?
Couple days ago my d851 got the update pushed by T Mobile so enthusiastically.... and many good things with d851 turned on into something not very pleased!! Root and TWRP I had before with d85130d are now history and seem to me that there is no possibility to root under this new update, nor even to downgrade. I am curious if anybody rooted succesfully under d85130e and what method they used? Or, if is a way to downgrade to LP ( LGUP and LG Flash doesn't recognize model of d851TN)? Thank you!

Verizon LG G4 VS9862BA Root Options

Hello everyone,
I have looked everywhere on the threads, and it seems like I can't find any root information on my VS9862BA software version. I read in a thread that downgrading from MM to LL on a 2AA will cause the phone to be bricked. Is this true for the 2BA as well? Can I downgrade my G4 and then root like a normal G4? Help is greatly appreciated.

Nope. You have go back to 5.1 to ROOT and stay in 5.1
Verzion has made it impossible after 5.1 to ROOT but for other companies like AT&T, Etc. is Easy

Yes, you can downgrade from 2BA to 13B using LGUP PC software tool, then root using the methods posted in the VS986 XDA section.

Hi
I have an LG vs986 on 2ba I want badly to root in order to get 4g lte on T-mobile.
I tried to downgrade to 13b but got bricked and stuck on dl mode, thank god I was able to flash it back to 2ba.
Some threads on xda suggest that it's possible to downgrade to 13b only early version of mm not latest like 2ba.
Is that true?
If not please post some guide lines on how to do it.
Thanks for any help.

To what Root on MM? Just not the latest version? I've tried many ways but All Failed. When my time with Verizon is up I'm going to T-mobile or AT&T

have you done this personally on VS9862BA version cause i ended up having to flash back to MM after attempting downgrade...

That's my recollection and others have posted that they had successfully downgraded from 2BA to 13B in this thread too:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/general/downgrade-mm-to-ll-lgup-t3322616/
You have to use the correct dll file referenced in the thread.

Verizon V30 VS99630d update pushed out

I haven't been around much in some time but figured I'd mention I woke to a update message on my phone. Going to push it if as long as I can, that is assuming there is still development going on.
I'll try to see if I can find a location to DL the image to provide it to whoever might be able to tell me if it's okay to apply to my tired phone.

Yes, very surprising news.
This is probably OTA and full KDZ will be released soon. You can capture KDZ with LG Bridge URL.

In the mean time, how do I stop big brother Verizon from bugging me to update the firmware. My phone is rooted with Magisk so I can't take OTA.

Just freezing the 2 System Updates will do it.

I have to say I'm very impressed! Like it's been 3 years since the V30 launched, right? I had started at replacing this phone due to the lack of security updates, but now I can keep using it a while longer, awesome!

I am currently on the debloated vs99630c rom. Can the Verizon updated rom be downloaded onto the phone without losing root?
Do we know if anyone is trying to make this into a twrp installable rom, hope so?

Never used LG Bridge and saw a procedure you were trying out several years back: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/help/us998-kdz-file-request-t3726918/page2
Couple questions:
1) Does the procedure for downloading the KDZ "mess" with your existing recovery / system partitions? (I'd like to try and get the KDZ but not at the expense of needing to worry about restoring things back to the way they are now.)
2) You seemed to have trouble extracting the URL at first, then had success later on. What was the trick to getting it to work?
Thanks,
Drew
EDIT: LG Bridge doesn't connect to my V30 VS996 for some reason. Have tried within TWRP and the LG Pie ROM. Have tried File Transfer mode, Charging mode, System Update mode, etc. Within File Transfer mode, the software appears to try to connect, then fails and suggests I disconnect/reconnect the cable which I do to no avail. Oh well, I tried.

You need TWRP flashable zip. The full KDZ has not been publicly released yet. JohnFawkes or Seadersn would have to make it, when the KDZ is released

You can look in the Bridge's download log file and find the URL that was used to download the .kdz
The link can then be downloaded by anyone using web browser. Sometimes User-Agent change is required, I think to "spider". I used a chrome extension to temporarily change the user agent so the LG Bridge server didn't see I was using a regular web browser.

Any chance that someone with a VS996 and LG Bridge that works can PLEASE check to see if the vs99630d KDZ is available for download?
I would, but I've tried using LG Bridge with multiple PCs and cannot get it to connect to my VS996. It shows the Connecting... screen but just times out regardless of what I do.
Thanks!

Now the next question is -- is @JohnFawkes still on the scene and able to work the same magic he used for the 30c TWRP zip with the 30d version? My guess is this is the last time Verizon/LG pushes out an update for the almost 3 year old phone.
Thank you!!

There is a tool to convert .kdz to twrp .zip. But it says it only works for old kdz. I dont know how the new KDZ are converted.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...-kdzz-create-flashable-zip-kdz-files-t3902423
I think though you can update with the kdz using patched LGUP via REFURBISH or PARTITION DL. You will lose twrp, but you can reinstall twrp afterwards. Then I think you have to install magisk again, as well as Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_08.18.2019 (encryption disabler) and AnyKernel 3 RCTD Remover (root checker disabler). All that is explained in this link.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/how-to/wtf-lg-v30-t3790500/post79972584#post79972584
Also I think you lose data, so have to backup apps and stuff if needed.
I might do this in the next time. I dont know if there will be a flashable twrp zip.

Was just looking into KDZZ and yeah I think John figured out a way with new KDZs (or else we wouldn't have one for 30c). I recall it taking a few tries with us beta testers so it's evidently not super simple. If John is still around, hopefully he can share a how-to on this new KDZ, or just create the TWRP zip for 30d himself...
Not sure about your 2nd idea because that method seems to require fastboot commands which the Verizon firmware doesn't allow. I could be wrong here, but I'd hold off doing any of this until someone confirms one way or the other...

@ChazzMatt
Since you are the guru for all things V30, have you already made a guide for how to flash a KDZ in LGUP and keep TWRP?
My Download Mode has been borked since Oreo on the VS996, so do you think flashing the US998 20e TWRP zip will fix that issue AND should I expect any problems flashing an Oreo US998 rom after being on a Pie VS996 rom?
I am guessing if I somehow regain Download Mode with this 20e method, then I use LGUP's Partition DL mode and check everything but Recovery for the 30d KDZ?
Then what else would we want to do before booting into the ROM in terms of encryption and all that John normally includes in his TWRP zip?
If anyone successfully completes this task of keeping TWRP and Root with 30d, can you please report back?
Thanks!
Drew

We tried that in the early days -- before Westwood24, JohnFawkes, and Seadrsn. It was hit or miss, and turned to mostly miss. Theoretically, using Partition DL but omitting the recovery partitions, it should cleanly only update the those partitions and leave TWRP intact. But for whatever reasons, that would often not work. (I can't remember whether it just bootlooped or got hung on logo. Been a couple of years ago. It would be discussed early in the Oreo KDZ threads.)
After attempting that, many people then had to reformat their phones, flash the full KDZ (either Refurbish or Partition DL) and then reinstall TWRP again. Bootloader was still unlocked, of course, but they had to go through Section 6 of WTF Instructions to reinstall TWRP over the updated KDZ. If you have H930 variant or US998 firmware, that's NOT a deal breaker as those have fastboot flash commands. But for Verizon firmware, you can't do that.
This is why the TWRP-flashable zips (basically stock ROMs) were such a godsend. You kept your data and kept TWRP.
