Help save a bricked lg g3 - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

:crying:
My issues is quite complicated. Please be patient and read on.
Less than a week ago, I bought an LG G3 D855. It wasn't brand new and definitely out of warranty.
It was on the 4.4.2 Os version but I couldn't update it because I couldn't locate the UPDATE CENTER and after some research online, I found out it was because it was rooted. I couldn't find a Supersu application anywhere on the phone anyways but Root checker confirmed that it was rooted.
I downloaded the stock kitkat firmware in a .tot format and I tried flashing using LG Flash Tool for TOT but it failed because "Device version is different"
I checked the Imei online and it stated that the device is a Sprint LS990 but the details embedded in the phone all say it is D855
I checked online and found a couple of posts about this error and one user said he was able to fix it by flashing the actual Sprint .tot with the lg flash tool. I tried that but it didn't work. It still said "Device version is different. Check BIN or dll"
I checked online and found results pointing to a generic .dll file for G3s and I downloaded it but when I used it on the Flash tool, it resulted to an error "CrossDL blah blah"
So I found a Marshmallow kdz file. LGUP won't see my device model so I was able to flash it after editting the software in my build.prop to D85510n.
***I have always changed the port to COM41 in all the steps I used
The LG UP detected my model and it flashed to 100% but got stuck on a bootloop by loading the lg screen, freezing and restarting by it self. It never gets to the homescreen.
I downloaded lollipop kdz reflashed using LGUP in a form of downgrade and it got to 100% and got stuck at the lg screen while trying to reboot.
I redownloaded the stock kitkat rom and used the Lg flash tool but it failed. It said 'PID null IMEI Null"
I used LGUP to reflashed. It came to my understanding that the LGUP can flash both kdz and tot. So it flashed to 100% but got stuck at the lg screen and I have tried all I can but it is stuck. It can go into download tho. I don't know what to do about the IMEI. I don't know if the last flash retrieved it. I don't kniw what to do.
It no longer shows as LGE AndroidNet USB Serial
Please can anyone help me?
I just need my phone to work again. I was stubborn and now I regret it. I should have just stuck to kitkat. I'm so desperate to get my phone working that I wouldn't mind Android Froyo Os if it was ever possible.
PLEASE HELP!!!

My thanks to Litblogger and xda. I got it fixed with your help on whatsapp, Litblogger. My phone is currently back to stock. I couldnt thank you again because the phone is now network locked. Maybe we could speak on facebook. My user name is Gilbert R Ssenyonjo.

Folks.
Got the same problem now (with my wife's phone). I'd appreciate it if instead of helping people privately you'd tell everyone what to do to fix the problem.

I had the same problem, downloaded .tot file via IMEI check (can't remember where from) and used that .tot file with BoardDiag, flashed everything as in tutorial (google it), it was 4.4.2 Android, couldn't update it (software is up to date) so I rooted it, flashed twrp 3.0.0 and installed Fulmics 8.0, it works now just fine

LG G3 Cannot connect to network after KDZ Flash

Hi,
After using the KDZ method, my LG G3 cannot connect to the network. I get the "service disabled", "no Service" and sometimes it connects to the operator for some seconds. It is important to say that before the flash, the phone was working fine, and connected normally to the network.
Troubleshoot already done:
1 - Firstly, I flashed using the D85520B_00.Kdz file.
2 - When I realized that the error, I thought this might be a version problem, so I downloaded D85510e_00.kdz version and re-flashed downgrading to 4.4.2. However problem remained.
As a comment, I also noticed that it changed from version D855 to D855V.
What should I do?
Either its a problem with the modem or you lost your efs partition
What does it say under IMEI? Does it still show your phone's IMEI

Still, that sounds exactly like a corrupted-EFS problem. But with corrupted EFS, in most cases, IMEI is reset to 0... If you have a backup, try to restore it.
If no or if it still doesn't work, try to flash an other KDZ (with modem inside) or just a standalone modem.
Also, check APN and that kind of software things

Hi.
the IMEI SV is set to 00. The IMEI is XXXXXXX... If I go to Network, it will be searching for service. Actually, I can see the network, but I cannot connect to it. I get the message "Unable to Connect to Network". I have already tried 3 kdz versions, without any success.
Just so we're clear your using CSE flash with the kdz right?

Hi did you find the solution...? If yes plz let me know I have the exact same problem...
I have found a lot of threads and people reporting this issue. Bought a D855 32Gb from China that has this problem...
Phone tries to get signal a couple of seconds and then a cross.. and so on..
I tried everything I think, I passed for all the bricks the phone can do: Automatic Reboot / Boot Loop / Fast Boot / Security Error / Factory Reset Status 2 / Dead (QHSUSB_DLOAD) - I can help anyone that has any of those problems : )
In one of the flashes my phone turned to D855RE, similar case to other people, also the message "Current version is not available for user. Can't find matched cust for NT-Code mcc/mnc".
Please if anyone was able to fix the problem report here, there is a lot of people waiting for the answer 20 threads in different networks, I will post the solution in each of those. Thanks!
Hi
I suggest you download the LG phone from app and this will give you which Stock Rom is for your phone. Then you need to search For it and install. I have a D855 Taiwan version and that is what i did and now on Stock D85520W.
Hope this helps.

Got the same situation. Tried a lot of modem, upgrading to MM, then downgrading to LP, then to CandySix and CloudyG3.
Also tried changing in Buildprop. still Service Disabled.

I think I bricked my G3

Hi guys, idiot here.
I was trying to root and flash a custom rom on a D850 earlier but made the mistake of not knowing this was a D850 as I'm in the UK, so basically the rom I flashed was for a D855. It wouldn't boot.
I'm trying the androidrootz guide at http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html to take it back to stock but the LG FlashTool is saying the model is a D855...I've taken the cover off the back and it says D850 in more than one place.
I can't figure this out. I've tried the D850 and D855 TOT and DLL files in the flashtool and neither work. The D850 files tell me it's the wrong model and the D850 files tell me something about a partition change failure.
I can no longer access recovery as the FlashTool seems to have done something to wipe it, as it gets around 6% through. The only screen I can access is the firmware update screen.
Any ideas? I'm desperate.

flashed D855 rom to LS990 and only .tot roms available "device modele diff".. HELP!

flashed D855 rom to LS990 and only .tot roms available "device modele diff".. HELP!
Hello everyone !
So i bought this G3 online (second hand), on th back it sais it's D855 variant 32/3 and it had kitkat.. and wanted to upgrade so i looked it up and found MM update 30B.kdz so i backed up my EFS and flashed it then i got stuck in a bootloop so i flashed another rom LP 21A.kdz and it worked but no network neither WiFi or BT.. USB debugging works but no MTP or PTP connexion and Model name became D855V.. i looked this problem online and someone mentionned it may be caused because it's a different variant, checked my device info on some IMEI check websites and they said it's L990.. i opened it up to confirme and it says it's indeed a LS990 on the motherboard.. so i tried to flash a LS990 rom back but all i could find is a .TOT extension roms which demands a .dll file and check etc.. and no .kdz since Sprint didn't realease any as far i found out, i tried flashing them using LGUP and LG Flash Tool and they both gave me an erreur message that it's a different device modele.. tried different .dll files LS990....dll , D855....dll and LGUP8974.dll wich is supposed to ignore some checks but still nothing worked.. i think .kdz roms doesn't do that check wich brought me to this problem in the 1st place.. but i couldn't find a .kdz rom for LS990 anywhere.. found US990...kdz but don't think it's the same !
So somone told me to try sth so i installed a hex editor(HxD) and opened the LS990 .tot and searched for every "LS990" header and changed them all to what replaces "D855" in D855 .tot.. stop me if i'm in the wrong way, then saved the work so the LS990 .tot should be disguised as a D855 .tot right ? and i got the D855 .dll already. i was worried that it would cause a hardbrick or sth .. it's not like i have many options but i just didn't want to make things worse.. then i tried to flash it anyway but both lg flash tool and lgup pop up an errour message after check and stops before it even starts
Ps: while i was in Maths class i was trying o think of sth.. and thought
that i may be able to root it and install TWRP then flash a LS990 rom since i have USB debugging working.. but i have to root it first and the way to root it while on LP is LG One Click Root but i'm having a hard time doing that although i tried everything but i think that's because of the wrong rom.. just wanted to mention it !
guys please help !.. i'm a civil engineering student whom is drowning in debts and spent the last money i got on this phone because i needed it and can't afford to lose it like that.. you could letteraly save my life ;D
sorry for bad English.

Does reverting to 5.0 from 6.0 brick your phone? Rooting/Downgrading Help!

I have tried every method I can find to root my g3 6.0. Kingroot, PurpleDrake, etc. I've tried every method to revert back to 5.0 I can find, LGUP, LG Flashtool 2014 and 2015, none of them work.
I then decided to give up and pay a shop to do it for me. But when I asked about it, they said they couldn't do it. Reason being that 6.0 updated the boot loader, and if you tried to revert, it would brick the phone. If this true or did they just not know what they were doing?
If anyone can help me to root this phone or revert to 5.0 I'd really appreciate it! Nothing I find seems to work.
If you have D855 reverting with LGUP works.

Is there any truth to downgrading bricking my phone?
I can't really tell. I think no. BTW did you even tried to downgrade with LGUP or you write nonsense in OP?
No I did try the guide on https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
When trying KDZ method, it just stops after loading the LG update tool, tells me it encountered an error, or it couldnt connect to the server. I tried leaving it for 15 mins, then unplugging and replugging it back in, nothing happend.
When trying TOT method, I get a version mismatch. I know I have the right version of files but nothing.
Looks like there has been no luck rooting Canadian G3 so far: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/root-d852-canada-marshmallow-6-0-t3356842

I had the same problem with the KDZ method. Did it ask you if you wanted to retry? When I chose to retry, it worked fine afterwards. *
*Caveat...someone told me that that unable to connect error is a false error and that it should just continue after clicking retry. I wound up having to unplug my phone, pull the battery, rebooted/reconnected into download mode, chose the retry button and it worked.
i have successfully downgraded from MM to LL following this post.

Yes, downloaded LG Flashtool 2014, downloaded kdz for Poland H81510E... and it won't work.
I'm booting phone into download mode, and i get info that "Update stopped due to an error".
Did i'm making mistake in kdz or what?
Try LGUP and flash a v20 kdz.
Try flash random v20 kdz, if problem wont stop that pm me, Im from Poland too

Well, thanks guys for advices, but i decided to put my LG to service on Monday 6th.
I got it back today...
... with changed motherboard and new battery and with new warranty
As for me, LG bought today a new very loyal customer I was a bit shocked, cause i thought that repair will cost me around 200 PLN... well, fools are well protected by higher powers
Therefore, i think that this thread may be closed
