LGFlashTool insanity.... helpppp - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a g3 d855.
I was running 30b rooted and decided to tweek the ui soft keys (big mistake).
I ended up bricking but managed to use LGFlashTool without any problems to go back to stock "LGD855AT-00-V10e-EUR-XX-JUL-08-2014-32G+0.tot"
Then I installed 30n and found out it can't be bloody rooted.
I thought it would be simple to revert back to stock. 8 hours later and I am still stuck.
I keep getting "model information check fail!"
Is there any other tool for flashing the stock files as I am loosing my freaking mind here.:silly:
Thanks

[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.

[Q] Downgrading to KK ROM - Three UK

Hi,
First time poster, long time trawler... thanks for all your info over the years.
I have a specific question about downgrading to KK from L on my branded Three Mobile UK.
I had rooted on KK and was loving it, everything was working great.
Three kept pushing the OTA at me, but because of root it wouldn't take.
Borrowed a PC (I run mac for work) to run LG Suite and (back up first) fix upgrade errors to unroot to take OTA.
For some reason it bricked it...it just sat on Firmware update at 0% forEVER. Wouldn't boot past it or recognise the device anymore.
Had to use the Mobile Support tool to bring it back to life... although this resulted in an upgrade to 5 anyway.
I'm really not a fan of L. Won't go into details as to why it sucks, but I want to go back to KK and root, and then wait for L to get root options.
I've never flashed a ROM before, however there's a ton of resources here so I will give it a go.
I want to go back to the exact same ROM that came with the device which I THINK I have tracked down to - D85510g_00 via
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53606494
and
http://www.mylgphones.com/lg-g3-firmware-checking-the-software-version-and-update-history
Can anyone confirm that would be the right one... Is there any reason why I shouldn't use this ROM?
I want to go with what works, and not risk bricking it by installing an unbranded ROM in case they've used some sort of security measure that I'm unaware of... or am I just being a noob?
TL : DR
ON Lpop, want KK back... downgrade to D85510g_00.kdz for 3 UK (Hutchinson) branded ROM - Correct?

Champion!
Thanks for your reply. Will borrow a PC again and give it a whirl tonight.
I have the KDZ file, USB drivers and LG Flash tool already downloaded... and intend on following this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
I have seen in the second method mentioned in that guide - TOTs and DLLs, could you confirm that these are different paths to the same goal? Either I need KDZ or I need TOT & DLL... but I don't need KDZ and TOT and DLL? Have I understood that correctly?

Help, I rooted my phone and I get a warning everytime i open it

Hello
So after foolishly updating to Marshmellow and discovering that all my apps no longer update in the background, i flashed my device to the LG G4 V10D-226-01 software version, the 10D Europe Open from the LG g4 "Go back to stock rom" thread.
Problem is, everytime i open my phone i get "Warning: Current version is not available for user. Cant find matched cust for Nt-code mcc/mnc[22601],subset[ff]. I have looked both on google and here and everything i found was for the G3 model and it involved using a "custom restore" image. but no explanation on how to use it, its not a KDZ so i cant flash it.
I'm pretty new to all this and everything i wanted was to go back to my Lollipop variant after seeing how Marshmellow behaved on my phone. (not auto updating my background apps).
I appreciate any help you guys provide.
Thanks
u cant downgrade once u go to Marshmallow. Its a security thing tht was updated in the latest firmware b4 Marshmallow came out. Ur gona hav to start all over again wth the latest KDZ b4 Marshmallow
I reformated into a Lollipop KDZ by flashing my ROM from the "Go back to stock" thread. Problem has appeared after i did that. I am currently on Lolipop v10D
nobody has any idea on how i can solve this issue?

download the kdz file for your device from here and flash it using LG UP here. all will be fine. i downgraded from MM to LP after MM had big battery drain. many people have downgraded using this method.

Root and KDZ help.

I got my lg g4 yesterday and tried to root it using the little effort root and it didn't work. When it rebooted I the screen that says booting failed etc etc with the LG logo on it and it cut off. So I tried to kdz it back and I guess I chose the wrong KDZ and it just completely blacked out. Luckily they gave me another 1 (told them it wouldn't cut on after going dead) so I want to try rooting it again but I want to know which software version am I? In my settings it says vs98611A but under my battery it says vs986B. Which 1 is my kdz? And is there any other way to root this phone?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
Worked for me on 13B.
Suggest you update to 13B using LGUP PC tool and 13B KDZ, then try rooting again with link posted.
How do I know that I'm not already on 13 b? This is all new to me
Settings - About phone - Software info - Software version.
Ok I see. I think what happened last time was I was on 13b and flashed a 11a kdz and that bricked my phone

LG G3 D852 downgrade from 6.0 to 5.0 Lollipop

I have been trying to root my LG G3 D852 on 6.0 mm, i have found that there is nothing out for that yet. I know know that have to downgrade and I have tried but since I'm on virgin mobile so the downgrade file I tried to use bricked my phone so i had to send it back to LG to get it fixed. Is there any other way to downgrade or root without bricking my phone again?
Thanks

Hmmm. I had the same problem as you did with my G3. Same model and everything. Tried to downgrade it using my computer. Can't remember what tool, but it said it completed successfully. When it went to reboot, it would stay on the LG logo for 15-30 seconds, before going to the broken android screen. After a few minutes, it would reboot. Could enter into the recovery menu from the broken android screen, but when I tried to bump the files or flash a rom, there was nowhere on the phone to store it. I think it removed the partitions during the flash, hence why it couldn't store the files. It's not that I didn't have permission, but it showed in the console that there was no directory to mount. Couldn't even charge the phone in the state it was in. Guess it relied on the OS to control the charging. I'll probably try to simulate the phone, with the stock OS, and see if I can find any exploits that could allow for a "safer" rooting method. Tell me if you find anything yourself!
