I really need help. I've searched around all over the web and on here with no solution. What happened was I tried to downgrade my G3 to stock 4.4.2 KitKat from 5.0.1 Lollipop. The flash tool went all the way to 89% and failed. I took out the battery and now my phone just boot to the Android recovery after the LG logo. When I try to use Flashtool to flash it again, my IMEI and S/N show as null and flash tool fails at 6%. I can't find a solution. I'm able to go into download mode and recovery which the recovery mode only has wipe data to factory.
I'm running Windows 7-64bit. I've tried different Windows version and 32 bit version and none works. I've sent it to a store and they thought they could fix it because they say it is software issues. They couldn't fix it.
I try downloading different Roms variant and .KDZ and .ToT files but nothing works. I've tried both upgrade dl and board dl in Flashtool but nothing works. I've used the D852 DLL, the generic DlL and even the DLL extracted from the .KDZ file.
Please somone help me. There are people with the same issues and either they got it fix or their thread end unsolved. What can I do.

In order for my D852 to work with wind i was told to use LG Flash Tool and download the a D852 dll and use a D852G tot file.
My phone says it's from telus.
when i first started to flash my phone using those 2 file, i thought it would have been easier but instead i got into a Factory Reset 2
I tried to redo the flash but now im unable to do so. I can still get into download mode, and when i turn on the phone is automatically goes into Firmware update without having to hold the volume up button.

Try using the LG PC suite from the LG website to restore it...Once you get it back, root it and flash a custom rom like Fulmics if you want stock.
My phone on Fulmics 2.7 works on Wind.
Hello. My LG G3 D855 originally ran CyanogenMod13 Nightly, and for some reason 6.0 Marshmallow GApps did not work. So I attempted to flash back to stock using LG Flash Tool. However after the flashing (successful), my phone would only boot into Download Mode, even after hard factory reset. Nothing worked, ADB, fastboot, nothing. So I then downloaded the older version of Flash Tool (2014), and the G3 D855 6.0 marshmallow KDZ. I believe this was successful, as now the phone changed from download mode to the MiniOS boot animation. However that is all it did, just displayed the animation. I attempted a hard factory reset (and the design of the screen had changed, which is why I assumed the KDZ flashing worked). That didn't help, and so I booted back into Download Mode, and tried flashing the TOT file for my device using the newer Flash Tool. However the new Flash Tool didn't even recognize my device, and so I, in one last hopeful effort, downloaded LG PC Suite to try and fix my phone, but in Download Mode or otherwise, my phone wasn't detected. I've tried flashing other versions of the KDZ on my phone, all unsuccessful. And of course there is no recovery I can access. Please any help would be extremely appreciated.
Hi everyone,
It's been some time since I last came here.
I am facing a problem in my LG G3 and was wondering if anyone here can help me.
My phone is D855 was on V21A, Global ROM, rooted. I was thinking about updating to 6.0, so I used Autorec to flash TWRP to backup everything before the update. After Autorec I used terminal emulator (as I always do) to reboot into recovery. And then, the phone kinda died. The screen is always black, no LED blink nothing.
When I connect the phone to the PC it gets recognized as AndroidNet USB port.
I look through the forums for solution and came across this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-fix-hard-brick-recovery-guide-t3132359
I opened up the phone and did the short-wire and my phone got recognized as Qualcom 9008. I used the tool named: BoardDiag and it could copy stuff to my phone.
However, the issue that I faced was that I could not locate the TOT file of V21A. I tried the TOT of V10E and it did not work.
I tried following the method of LGExtract tool to turn the KDZ file to TOT but that did not work either. What happened is that the tool turn the KDZ to CAB and then when I try to extract the CAB it says that it is corrupted. Tried another KDZ from another source and the same result.
What I need now is one of two things:
Either the TOT file of Global V21a
or a working method for KDZ to TOT conversion.
Thanks for any suggestions.
[UPDATE]
I tried renaming the KDZ to TOT but it could not be extracted to the right MBN files.
I am facing the same problem with my LG G3 D850. I flashed a D851 Variant version of the rom and after fixing the hard brick part i am stuck flashing the .tot file because its considering my phone as D851 model. I tried to flash the LGUP_8974.dll to try to fix it and nothing.

Same problem here.
did you find a solution????
Please HELP
.....
I used the same short-wire method and flashed the only TOT I could find, which was 10E. However, this time I flashed the system partition as well. In the guide it says it would take a long time so don't do it. I did it anyway. It took reeeeeeeeeaaaaalllllly long time. Over 4 hours.
After finishing flashing I place back the battery as indicated in the guide and the phone restarted and was stuck at LG screen. I connected it to the computer and it was finally recognized as an LG Android phone.
Then I used the official LG update tool. It detected the phone and said there was an update. I proceeded with the update and everything went back to normal. I even had the same data and apps because I did not overwrite the data partition.
I hope this helps.

I also short wired. Now I am looking for a TOT file. I had stock lollipop for lg g3 canadian version (d852) but i cannot find the tot file for lollipop. I have tot files for marshmallow and kitkat. Will that work?
I am downloading a lollipop 20g kdz file. Not sure if it will work. Plz help. Thanks.
Here's the thing, I ****ed up:
Why:
1. I didn't do a back up
2. I tried to flashthe D85530B_00_1217 ROM that's for the 855 model, and I've the 855AR (wich apparently are not the same).
What I tried to fix the problem:
1. I try to restore it: Went to recovery mode and tried to do a factory reset. The phone just restart and I went back to the bootloop.
2. I try to re flash the phone using again the D85530B_00_1217, and then D855AR20A_00, none did work and the bootloop persists.
3. Ask for help (what I'm doing here).
My question:
Can i still fix this or I have to buy a new phone?
Notes:
I used the LG Flash Tool 2014
While flashing the phone, it did reach 100% before the app did, and reset itself (before the app reach 100%).
Thanks
Edit:
Ok, so I manage to fix it. I download LGUP (older version, the one that does not work with KMZ files) and manage to flash a tot file with the D855v10e version. After that my phone was functional again and I flashed the D85520a with LG Flash Tool 2014.
Hope it help someone with the same problem I have.
Ok, so I'm still stuck on this.
I'be also tried to unbrick it using LG FlashTool (the one you have to install) but when I try to flash the tot (the european one) file, I get "Download FAIL", "Model information Check FAIL". I think I may be using the wrong tot file but I can't find the one for D855AR model.
Anyone has any ideas on how to fix this? Or where can I find the right tot file?.
Thanks
Hey guys
First, a little bit of history:
I own a G6 now, so I wanted to have some fun with my G3.
I rooted it (LGOneClickRoot), installed TWRP, installed LineageOS 14.1 and everything went pretty well.
The problem was that LineageOS 14.1 is terrible, huge lags, tons of bugs, so I tried installing another ROM through TWRP, I don't know what I messed up but I messed up and the flash failed. I dont remember exactly what I tried to flash after that but I failed again and then classic --> Stucked on LG boot logo, no recovery mode, no download mode, nothing.
So I used the popular fix for hardbricked G3, creating a short between test point and ground while connecting it to revive him, and it worked. I went with the whole procedure in BoardDialg and stuff. Kinda surprised by myself that I didnt go full-panic mode creating tons of threads everywhere lol, I managed to make it work even if it took me something like half a day of learning and work.
Now I'm back to stock Android 4.4.2, rooted with LGOneClickRoot again and everything is fine.
I mean... Almost everything is fine, because now I want to be able to install Magisk, and I found that Magisk is for Android 5+.
So there are some informations I need to gather before going further and risk a brick again (please no more short on the motherboard lol):
1- Can I flash a stock Lollipop ROM with LG Flash Tool in download mode using CSE Flash ? Is it a proper way to do it or do I really need to go through this boring TWRP recovery flashing again ?
2- where can I find such a ROM (stock Lollipop for d855) ? And which version to chose ? v20a, v20e, v20f, v20h, v20i, v20p, v20t, v20u, v20w or v21a ? I've been looking for hours now, hard to find reliable informations about all different versions.
Thanks for the read, I hope someone can help me
UPDATE:
I flashed a Lollipop v20f with LG Flash Tool and it's working fine.
I heard that after v20f, newer versions were "harder" to root so I sticked with v20f.
I'm gonna play around with Magisk now and see how it goes.
I'm in the same boat. I also went back to 4.4.2 via TOT. The I rooted and installed TWRP. how I want to restorel my RR 5.8.5 from a TWRP backup. My question is to I have to install the 35B bootstack before or after the restore or at all?
Hi,
Upgrade (LGFlashtool + CSE flash) to V30B
Follow this post ==>
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/root-twrp-marshmallow-d855-30b-t3286268
Then you can install custom Rom ou upgrade to stock V30N (with root : there is a post about it)
Hey how did you do the unbrick process? I stuck at flashing kdz eventhough i have correct dll and drivers installed
hi,
Try LGUP instead of LGFlashtool (download mode and type *.kdz + select kdz file in LGUP)
Depends if you're hardbricked or softbricked. I was hardbricked so I had to create a bridge between 2 points on the motherboard and reflash everything one by one. I formated recently and didnt keep all these things but I can get into it again to try to help you.
EDIT: LGFlashTool isn't enough if you're hardbricked, you'll have to use other tools and open your phone. First step is identify if you're softbricked or hardbricked, google it you'll find your answer
Mine was hardbricked. I use shorting test point method and successfully flashing partition. Then I flash kdz using LG flash tool 2014, my phone stuck on boot logo. Then I do factory reset. Still same. Last option, I use LG UP. It stuck on LAF info with number on it. Is my LAF file damaged?
Hi,
With Boarddiag try this :
1-EMMC TEST Option "erase" ;
2- then Restore theses partitions and reboot in download mode and flash Kdz.
1)Boot
2)Aboot
3)BackupGpt
4)Boot
5)dbi
6)laf
7)PrimaryGpt
8)Recovery
9)rpm
10)tz
