[How To] Flash KS20 Complete Guide + Programms !!!
OK, I have really grown tired of people "crying" and wasting forum posts asking how to flash a rom, how their device can be recognized in LGMDP etc.
THERE ARE SOME MANY FREAKING GUIDES AND HELPFUL POSTS!
So I have created my own fully(I believe ) understandable guide on how to flash,brand,unbrand phone and restore .nv2 !
You can ask any question you want,nag to me,swear me,etc. I really like helping people!So please do not post in Spocky's or Farah's Threads for how to flash their roms!Everything you need is here!

When flashing my KS20 in emergency mode, after ~10 sec the LGMDP said something about an QCSBL writing error, or somethint li that. I pressed OK too early
Now my phone doesn't work, can't turn it on and no emergency mode. What can I do now?

Take out the battery,insert it and do a hard reset.

1)Wrong thread.Please do not post irrelevant things.
2)Download my guide and you will see how you can hard reset.But I cannot understand why your phone hungs up!I do not think this has to do with opera.I have opera and it works fine.

Help! My LG KS20 is dead!
I have tried searching, but nothing came up.
Yesterday while flashing, it said something timeout (1st time the bar runs across)
Now, I cannot activate emergency mode. I cannot charge the phone. There is no response, no light. Charging the battery full has no effect. Taking the battery out has no effect too.
Is there any way to fix this? My warrenty expired just yesterday

Very strange problem!Maybe your battery is dead Take out the battery and connect the mobile with the pc.If nothing happens then it is not a battery problem.Have you tried a correct hard reset?By saying correct, I mean holding the 3 buttons for many time until the leds flash and then flash out.Then you must release the buttons.

Thanks ibanezman for your reply...
Nope, nothing. Battery is fully charged (I have an external LG charger that was given free).
Nothing happens when I remove the battery and connect to computer. I cannot do a hard reset, because there is no LG logo, and no lights. Not green, red, or blue.
I can't flash in emergency mode, because holding down Internet Explorer and Power gives nothing. No usual green light. Laptop doesn't detect anything. Nothing in device manager.
Today while going through the logs in the LGMDP folder I came across this.
<AppName>Log For Web DownLoad</AppName>
<TIMESTAMP>20090908235324</TIMESTAMP>
<Date>2009-09-08</Date>
<Time>23:53:24.-473</Time>
<IMEI></IMEI>
<TIMESTAMP>20090908235324</TIMESTAMP>
<RESULT>FAIL</RESULT>
Notice there's no IMEI number? Could this mean anything?

I do not think this has to do with IMEI.Maybe you have lost your IMEI in the flashing process.But I believe your phone is dead/bricked
I really cannot feagure out any other suggestions.Maybe you should take it to LG Service.

[Q] Bricked , any way to unbrick !

Hi all , I've bricked this device about a month ago , I've been searching for unbrick method , I can say i searched the entire internet i was unnable to find any unbrick methods , nor new mainboard , I even conntacted huawei in the us , and they told me to buy new motherboard in alibaba.com there's no motherboard there to , I was supprised they to have no mainboards nor support for unbricking the device ,
so my question , Does anywan know how to do it, or where can i pursache a new motherboard.

You kind of need to explain the symptoms before the doctor can do anything, same thing applies here.
Explain what is happening on your device, No response / stuck on boot animation, will it go to Recovery etc.
Also what have you tried to unbrick. Give us some info otherwise we can't help.
I haven't seen any P6 Mobos for sale on Ebay and such, I wouldn't know about that.

Explain here... You'll get your phone unbricked. Never say die

Well , I was trying to flash the CleanRom project , I'have made a post about that to ,
The Instructions were wery clear to me i followed them exactly how it was writen in tutorial.
I have an international verzion of P6 and according to that turorial , ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2625680 )
in order to flash that room i moust firstly flash an Chineze verzion which comes with unlocked bootloader , then i did that
I downloaded the rom put it on phone flashed via setteings update software , then everything went fine the process it seelf showd me
completed 100% and in the end sayd OK , then my phone turned off, and it's never been on eversince :A
As of now the phone is totally dead black screen , I've tryed everything it doesent go in any mode
When i plug in the power cord it only shows a red light indicator.
I belive this is a Hard Brick , not soft brick .

Yes i did brick my P6 and nope I aint gona tell them Im a noob :A
The thing here is to get help in here is not about send it back to china so if you have any other idea , your welcome to share.
I have no warranty , even if it had this phone is buyed in china , and traveled to the otherside of the world :it would cost as mouch as the phone itseelf to send it back to service.

Try flashing the latest TWRP, it has off mode charging. Can you put your phone in fastboot mode via adb ?

Not Hard Brick!
Happened to me before and guess what? Tried very simple thing - and it worked.
Take your sdCard out of the phone.
Replace the dload folder with the extraction from either the B111 from the Huawei site or the B125 from here on xda
Reinsert card and press all buttons down till phone goes into internal recovery.
Your main problem will be having enough battery to get you twenty minutes.
If your red light is functioning, you probably haven't blown your motherboard.

Only solution for that is to take your phone to local service. I am talking from experience.
Sent from my ME371MG using xda app-developers app

Can you check if you plug it into you computer that your computer connects to it or makes a sound? That can probably prove that the motherboard is fine and maybe your LCD is broken or has loose connection.
Happened to me before. Black screen, only red led, nothing else working. It happened that I got scammed by a seller.
What I ended up doing was taking apart the phone and I found that the LCD connection was loose. Fixed that, then I saw that the phone wouldn't boot. Loaded B111, B118, nothing worked. I then got B125, and it miraculously worked.
You could try what I did, but it is quite risky and I was very lucky.
I have to agree with goce. Unless you are experienced and willing to mess around with things, you should go find local service.

My P6 is stuck on splash screen. I rooted the handset and tried to install TWRP via flashify, it installed but after reboot its just stuck on splash screen. I cannot go into recovery as well now.

I think you should download the TWRP recovery for jelly bean from surdu and flash it from bootloader. If you are on the international this is the method for unlocking bootloader:

[Q] No booting at all - HELP FIX PLEASE!

I was using this method to root my phone: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...-VIhhUe3eupYY1bKA&sig2=MyzZOys2QGrlPe6Pwlh_AQ
& I was stupid and combined the 20B file with the 10R file and then also didn't label TWRP as boot.img as the installer tells me to do as I overlooked that.
Now, I can plug in my phone and my computer recognizes it (Windows). I can't view any files though I just hear the sound that something via USB got connected.
I've tried taking out the battery and unplugging it and pressing the power button for 60+ seconds and then putting it back in and trying to go into download mode. It doesn't seem to work. THough I hear the sound of it plugging into the computer.
So, I tried the LG Flash Tool. It fails at model information check. Then has a bunch of zeros after that.
I tried LG Flash Tool 2014 and all of the KDZ files I had on my computer (as I was unrooting just last night and trying to fix stuff and had KDZ files that worked for me to unroot). Well, that fails with all of the files.
Since that didn't work, I've been googling stuff and decided to try the original tool I had and that's when I noticed I didn't rename TWRP to boot.img and I combined 20B with 10R and figured out my problem. So now aboot and laf don't match the software that the phone has installed on it. For this reason, I can't do anything with my phone.
I'm assuming this is a hard brick. How do I fix this? I need my phone TODAY like an hour ago. :/ I was stupid to try and re-root. Ugh.
Can someone help me please?!
EDIT: I tried the LG Mobile Support Tool and I was able to get to the Install USB Driver section. I clicked it and it loads but nothing happens. So, I clicked options > Upgrade Recovery. I entered my IMEI number and it went through the steps and one of my batteries was low so I changed it out and went back through and it stops randomly and tells me to do the Upgrade Recovery which I was already doing. :/
EDIT 2: Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver from the device manager and then re-ran LG Flash Tool but it stopped at the model info check fail again. So I tried all of the USB ports on my computer and they all stopped at the same error.
EDIT 3: I can't find my iPhone so I really need this fixed. I just want to be clear that I tried these methods as well and nothing has worked thus far: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
I checked the LG website for drivers and such as well so everything should be A'OK from that point of view. I even tried my USB 3.0 that are in the front of my computer.
EDIT 4: Still no luck. Been searching google and other places. I tried fastboot and adb but my phone isn't recognized by those so I can't do those. I want to try and flash the files I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2766437
As I know that will help but without fastboot working, I don't see how I can get the files to be seen. Even if I were to put them on my MicroSD card, I don't see how I could flash them onto my phone. :/ That's all I need are the aboot_XXX.img and laf_XXX.img files fixed. UGH
EDIT 5: Called T-Mo to get a replacement. That will be here Monday. Until then I am doing my best to try and figure out how to fix this. I am severely upset by this. Found my iPhone so I won't be without a phone I'll just be upset until UPS gets here on Monday.

Well I hope this is a lesson for you. Unless you are absolutely sure you know what you are doing you read, read, read, and read some more. No where in that thread says you can do this on the d851, we have a unlocked bootloader and do not need bump. About your tot problem you can find generic dll that will not care what you're flashing. Be safe and stay out of the international threads from now on. I was a little harsh but I can kind of understand how that happen to you, that OP is a cluster f***

I recently had a problem with my phone and I was able to restore using TOT and KDZ files but my phone kept power cycling over and over. I sent it to LG and they replaced the usb port and the screen as I had put a dent through the back where the battery goes and they replaced all the parts and I guess a new board due to the power cycling due to flashing ota with twrp. It looks like a brand new phone but it's mine because the IMEI was the same. I would try to flash it using the TOT method and if it still doesn't work then send it to LG, the worst they can do is send it back. All I paid was 10.00 bucks for the box. Everything else was covered including shipping back to me. Go via the LG website and they will give you a free FedEx label and a Case #.
Good luck

[Q] Reboot when not charging.. :(

hey there, I own the Tmobile version of the lg g3, Never rooted it, never had any problems with it UNTIL YESTERDAY! My phone turns off when not plugged in a charger and then it will endlessly reboot itself.. i already factory reset it Twice and the repair mode on lg pc suite doesn't show up.. please help me, what do i need to do?

Hi.
If you have tried the Hard Reset and it did not work then I have to ask you if you are still under shop or LG Warranty. If you are take it back.
It may seem obvious to you my reply but it is so. If you can return it you do not want a problematic phone right?
However:
If you do not have the Warranty any longer then your best and perhaps only solution is to flash with a computer <preferably windows 7> a KDZ or TOT+DLL file. This will flash the LG stock firmware back into your phone and eliminate this issue and make it like when it first came out of LG factory.
Be careful to READ and understand very well this process. YOU MUST choose the correct KDZ or TOT file for your model. If you flash the wrong file for your model...goodbye LG G3! Do not be in a hurry until you completely understand the whole process.
Below is a link to an XDA thread where you will find LOTS of help in doing this. The OP of this thread @hyelton is a really nice and helpful guy and has helped thousands of people. Just head over to the thread, first READ the OP and then post your questions and you will get help.
If you have no Warranty do this. Be patient and YOU WILL get your beloved G3 fixed.

[H815] Stuck on lg screen, no bootloop, access to download and recovery ok [SOLVED]

Hi,
I've searched over xda and google before but haven't found anything relevant so I've decided to post my own problem.
My G4 freezed unexpectedly while listening to music, I had to remove the battery to put it off.
But it never passed the LG logo again.
So, i've been stucked on this LG logo, looking for an answer and found about this hardware issue but I'm not certain to get the same error.
It's not a bootloop (even if I sometimes got stuck in bootloop while trying everything to revive my phone), I have been able to get to the download mode and TWRP (which I don't have anymore because I went back to stock using LGUP and LG bridge), even though I hardly get to the download mode now (I sometimes manage to do it though). I've also managed to save my data when I've managed to enter TWRP (plug in, remove battery, push volume down + power while putting battery in) which, people with hardware issue haven't, as far as I know.
I've tried everything I could and wouldn't even be able to describe it all.
Do you guys know how I could be sure if it's hardware or software related ?
Last try: update via Lg Bridge, succeed but still stuck on LG screen.
Thanks a lot !

Flash a lollipop kdz via LGUP, then try the ILAPO (works only with lollipop, no marshmellow) metod, there is a thread on xda.
There is a video on youtube too

I gave a look on what you've suggested, but is that going to let me use the phone or only backup ?
From what I understood (and I might be wrong), this only allows to backup because the phone would be worthless...

You'll be abble to use the phone, but it would be slower duo to the fact that with ILAPO you disable the "2 more powerfull" cpu cores... this metod let only 1 core active from the other 4, if you want to use the other two you have to gain root permissions and install an .apk to reactive the other 3. It's a litle triky but better than nothing I guess ��
PS: if you dont want to deal with all this bulls**it send it to LG

Same problem
This morning my Lg G4 also got stuck in boot Lg screen. Did you manage to fix your issue or got the data backup ?

sometimes flashing stock LP firmware fix it.. sometimes you must send it back to LG for repair..

I managed to backup, it's a weird trick and you need to have TWRP installed I guess:
- Remove the battery
- Plug your phone (I used my laptop but I'm guessing it also work directly from the charger)
- Push volume down + power
- Insert battery holding those buttons
I managed to enter TWRP and backup with this.
It didn't work at first, I had to try it several times.
I also read you have to keep holding volume down + power until the phone reboot itself once, and then you get access to TWRP but I tried so many times differently I don't remember which one worked best. Anyway, it worked for me that way.
I didn't fix the issue and I sent it to LG... I'm so frustrated, it's been 10 years I'm into this stuff and I always managed to fix everything

Hi guys,
So my G4 just came back from LG, they replaced the motherboard and that's it... A bit disappointed to not having been able to fix it myself but at least, it worked.
I didn't have to pay anything since it was a hardware defect, LG took care of it.
Thanks for those who tried to help, I hope this post would be useful for some with the same issue.

I'm having this same issue out of the blue. Is your serial number one of the infamous "before 509" ones? I'm on TMo with the H811, so it may not be similar at all....but I'm at my wits end. I've never had a spontaneous boot loop happen to me before now. It was always something I'd done.

Indeed, my serial number was 505 something.
I've been there too, if it's spontaneous, it must be this hardware defect...

Interesting... Especially since mine was a 509 or something. I guess they missed some units. Oh well, I just JUMP'ed early with my TMo plan to the G5. That was my second G4 after a similar issue 13 days into owning the first one back in November. Having your phone spontaneously die is quite a fun way to spend your anniversary -____-. I wasn't about to give that model a 3rd try. Thanks for replying.
