Hello everyone,
i know there are a lot of tutorials out there to unbrick the LG G3, but none of them seems to work for me.
I got mine from aliexpress, as a D855, but the IMEI shows a LS990.
I soft-bricked it trying to update with a euro D855 rom.
I could use some help, it's me been one month and i'm still pulling my hairs out of this, even the repair store could not unbrick it.
Update
User kp263 tried to help me in private, without success, but at least i learnt that my LG G3 is refurbished. I got it from aliexpress, if it helps.
I will try a new tutorial i found on androidbricks.com and keep in touch. Sorry i can't put the exact link, due to new user restrictions.
In case you know someone in france who's able to unbrick it, i am interested.

Hi guys in urgent need of your opinions. When I went to an LG service centre after my phone died they replaced my mobo (E988 Singapore) with an E980 one. Soon after before I managed to root and unlock its bootloader I checked through the device details and the funny thing is that I realised it doesn't tally with any AT&T or non-AT&T E980 models as the model number was just listed as E980 and if I remember correctly the version number for the firmware listed it as an EU device?
I went forward with modding the phone and everything went well until recently when I tried to switch recoveries from CWM to TWRP. Unfortunately due to the confusion regarding my hardware (whether it was really an E980 or E988) I mucked up the process and am left with soft bricked device. Any ideas how to fix this? I don't know which KDZ file to flash for my situation. Please help me solve this as I really need to use the device urgently.
I think you'd be fine just treating it as an e980 and flashing back to stock
So I should just use any of the E980 kdz? I don't wanna risk hard bricking the device but I'll try it when I get the chance.
I just bought new LG G3 D855 32gb from UAE
checked its imei via csmg tool and got the update link of v21a kdz file.
problem is I am unable to upgrade my phone manually as the update stops at 2%..
someone know the solution please respond in need of this help thanks
Hello Everyone I have a problem with my LG G3 which I have bought it recently was working nice but it had KitKat so I wanted to upgrade to lollipop but didn't know that LG G3 had different variant.
I've downloaded a wrong flash (LS990 sprint) and flashed it. so I lost the network and I noticed that the imei has changed. and I don't have the original IMEI of the phone ( the sticker on the back of phone is for D855 16GB not for D855 32GB).so I think its not the original IMEI.
After bricking the phone I've opened it and noticed that it was D855 written on the motherboard.
when trying to flash the original D855 rom it doesn't work (flashed it using the crossDLL method and using the Hex Method By changing D855 to LS990 to make the flash tool think Its LS990) the flash pass on both methods but i'm stuck on LG logo.
send it to some repairing services here in my country but they didn't fix it they thought its sprint so they flashed PrimeGSM but still no network.
I think I should change the IMEI before flashing D855 or something.
please Help me I've looked all over the NET but find no solution to this problem.
If you need more informations ask me. Help me as soon as possible this is the only phone that I have.
Did you ever figure out how to fix this? I have a ls990 which was flashed with PrimeGSM and is now detected as a d855... I have been trying to get this working for the last two days with no luck

Hello
What is the problem that you are facing ?
Is it a network problem or what ?
Primegsm is ported from d855 so i think it will show D855 on any lg g3 that does'nt mean that your phone detected as d855.
Make sure your phone is ls990 or another variant
And which country and carrier ? So i can help you.
I basically have a soft bricked phone - no OS as all. I am in New Zealand running on the Vodafone network.
I was using PrimeGSM and it was working fine but decided to go back to the stock ZV8, when running through LG Flash Tool I noticed Download mode was showing the model as a D855 and would not accept the LS990 DLL - I then made the mistake of using the generic DLL with a D855 image which started a boot loop - then made more mistakes and ended up with no OS and stuck at the LG logo.
At this stage I am able to get to fastboot and use fastboot boot to get into TWRP but cannot do much from there, I also have to use the D855 TWRP image as the LS990 fails with a device tree issue. fastboot will not erase any partitions or flash any images manually. Using terminal in TWRP I am able to browse the partition though but cannot mount the SD card or use adb to push or pull (fails with error closed)
I stuffed up quite a few times along the way but sure I can recover from it since I still have quite a bit of access to the device...
I managed to get my phone going again by following a guide I found in the forum, I am pretty sure it would solve the ops issue as well.
Really quick and easy, I just bridged the points with a needle and copper cable.
Hey, so I bought myself a used LG G4. The guy selling it, claimed that it is the international version, I too check it through out, underneath the battery and in the software, it said that it is the international version H815, however today I was trying to unlock the bootloader (which i couldn't) and discovered through the ADB that the LG G4 I have is not the international one, but the sprint one, LS991. I so very confused, above that when I used some random app to check my bootloader status, it is always 'unknown'!
WTF is the problem here! I am so confused :crying:
Anyone? Please help me!!!
So I bought a rooted LG G3 Korean version (back then i didn't know it was rooted). MODEL d855.
So I looked it up how to unroot it and I found many solutions on how to unroot it, but most of them used LGFlashTool so i went with that method; had everything downloaded but i couldn't find any firmware documents for LG G3 Korean version, so i used different ones such as: European, Hong Kong and many others that i can't remember but all seem to fail to download, all of them stopped at 6% after my failure I decided not to unroot it. But whenever I turn my phone it goes to download mode/firmware update. I have tried holding multiple buttons and taking the battery in and out but nothing seems to work. So now i'm here with my new phone stuck in download mode.
Can anyone help me Unroot it or find a way to exit download mode? I just want my phone back cuz right now it was a waste of money.

what i know is that D855 is the international version, While korean version have a F400 model number with a suffix base on their service provider in Korea (e. F400L for LG U+)
it seems that you need to flash the correct firmware to recover your phone. (it's important to know what model number you have)

My knowledge on phones isn't that great but before i tried to unroot it i looked up how to find my model number and somewhere in the settings i found that it was the D855 and under my battery it says D855 and under that it says made in Korea.
So the Koreans have the F400 but i have the Korean D855, well now i'm totally confused
