Help required to go back to full stock (remove TWRP etc.) - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have Fulmics and TWRP installed, but I want to go back to full stock and official recovery. I have a back up of my original ROM, but no back up of the stock recovery (I don't think anyway... what partition is the stock recovery on?).
How do I replace TWRP with the stock recovery? I have looked at various threads but most of them seem to be out of date or not quite the same situation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Solved it myself (after multiple hours spent researching, trying different methods and temporarily soft-bricking my phone...)
As a brief summary for other people:
Download LG Flashtool 2014
Download LG G3 Drivers
Download correct KDZ file from here
Downloaded the Megalock.dll and put in Flashtool folder.
Put G3 into Download / Firmware Upgrade mode (Power off, hold volume up button and connect USB cable to PC)
Go to Device Manager in Windows, find 'Ports (COM & LPT)'; go to properties of the LG Serial Port, 'Advanced'-> and change the COM port to 41.
Run Flashtool.
Select KDZ file.
Click on 'CSE Flash'
Click 'Start'
Change language.
Click OK
Wait while hopefully it installs the ROM on to the phone and then reboots.
Sorry it's not more detailed!

Can i use CWM and EXrecovery (v19c) for v20c rom?
Hi @alamatnitotoy !
Me and my friend, who has su880, were testing the v20c kdz.
We flashed v20c kdz using KDZ updater, smartflash and even we tried the offical LG update upgrading from v19c to v20c.
After every way of flasing v20c the phone always stucked at LG boot logo. So We read back every partition from the phone and it turned out that the LNX partition, which contains the kernel, is empty. I mean the kernel was missing after every flash of v20c, but every other partition was okay.
We extracted the the every file from the kdz and the the kernel image was empty in this case as well.
I don't know what is it. Maybe we are doing something wrong or LG simply left out the kernel file from v20c?
Did you flashed v20c?

yes i did flash the v20c. I had that problem before also when using other flasher other than the kdz updater. also sometimes when its failing, what i do is i run the file "Root v20c" thru apx before using the KDZ updater to upload the v20c

Thnak you! The rooting-forv20c.rar contains the v20c kernel file.
I need CWM for v20c.Do you have it?
@alamatnitotoy I looked deeply into why flashing v20c brick your phone. My statement that the kernel image is missing from v20c was wrong. The kernel is there but an wrong place. When you use the extractor from P990 AIO toolkit to extract the image files from AP.bin file, the extractor shows you that which image file is at what OFFSET (or address) in the AP.bin file. Here is what am I talking about:
Code:
[01] address=0x00100000 size=0x00400000 // bct file
[02] address=0x00500000 size=0x00200000 // partition layout
[03] address=0x00700000 size=0x00200000 // bootloader
[04] address=0x00900000 size=0x00600000 // recovery
[05] address=0x00f00000 size=0x2bc00000 // system
[06] address=0x2cb00000 size=0x00600000 // kernel
[07] address=0x2d100000 size=0x12c00000 // internal sd content
These adresses also used during smartflashing. These adresses tells the smartflash where is the kernel image and system image and etc in the v20c AP.bin file
If you flash v20c and you read back the 12th partiton with nvflash you can see only zeros.
If you open teh v20c AP.bin file in a hex editor and you go to the 2CB00000 offset you can see there is nothing just bunch of zeros, the kernel is not there. The kernel actually at 2E000000 offset. Not just the kernel is at a wrong offset, also the sd-img is at the wrong offset. sd-img should be at 2D100000 offset, but in the v20c AP.bin it is at 2E600000 offset. So, when you flash v20c the kernel partition will be filled with 00 hex values and the internal sdcard got damaged as well, because the kernel image gets flashed to the internal sdcard. This cause the Stuck at LG boot logo effect, even if you flash v20c kernel to the righ partition with nvflash, because the internal sdcard is damaged.
Fixing v20c AP.bin file:
There are only 00 hex values From 2CB00000 to 2E000000.
Delete those 00 hex values, then the kernel image and the sd-int.img get to the right offset
Insert the same amount of 00 hex values as the amount of deleted 00 hex values to the end of the v20c AP.bin file to keep the size of the sd-int.img, then save the modifications.
I flashed this modified v20c AP.bin to my p990. I read back every necessary partition with nvflash and everything was okay. bootloader, bct, partitions, kernel, recovery, system are aon the right partition so maybe it's fixed, but I am not 100% sure just 98% because I don't have su880
I want to share you and with others the fixed v20c, so you can test. You can download it here
I want to share my google drive folder as well where you can find my works with su880. It has cwm for v19c and v20c. I also write a read me how can you flash it and root your phone with CWM. Well it was not tested as well, I am 98% sure it works, because rooting p990 and su660 stock roms works that way and p990, su660 and su880 almost the same. I use the CWM recovery image from "CWM for v19c".
My folder is here, some files are still uploading. I will notice you in this post when it is finished
There is no bootloader.img in the folder "SU880_V20C_CWM".Have you forgot it?

Oh sorry . Bootloader is there just rename it to bootloader.img from bootloader.bin, or download the rar file again from my google drive folder. I fixed it now.

If you can go to S/W download mode then flash this with smartflash. If you can't go to S/W download mode use "Bootloader installer for v19c", and flash that rom I linked

OK thank you for the file. However call me a n00b, but the file I downloaded was a tot file and the instructions say I should have a kdz file. Should I rename the file to kdz? The tool is looking for a kdz file.

So I had the same issue with my phone. I made a nandroid backup of my lollipop 5.0.1 and installed a MM rom. when I did it didn't work so I re formatted the phone and restored my back up, and I had no imei number, the phone said no service and I had an x at the signal bar. I tried everything, and couldn't get it to work, so after reading different topics, and random side topics, I found a soulution. after I re installed the lollipop version, I found the right modem.zip file for my phone. I used this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/development/rom-lg-d850-20f-lollipop-5-0-1-extras-t3052041. download the modem.zip and put it on your sd card. re boot to recovery and flash the zip with TWRP. Than bam, you have your imei and signal back. Hope this helps.

Cant update my LG G3

I have a new LG G3 D855 whith 4.4.2 firmware and im trying to update to lollipop.
i use booth LG flash tool and LGMobile Support Tool and its allways stuck at 2%...
please help my
Why have you tried manually the upgrade from computer? Your device won't to recognize updates by itself?
However... be sure you have downloaded latest LG driver (I presume you're using Windows on your PC), here you can download the proper ROM file, while to flash them you only need LG Flash Tool 2014 (only one of the two cited softwares is needed).
At this point it's very simple to proceed:
> Plug the device into computer, probably your PC need to recognize phone drivers, if it happens be patient and wait for it to finish;
> Open LG Flash Tool;
> Select the downloaded KDZ file (the rom file to be flashed).
> Now if you want to keep upgrade without losing data, press the Normal flash button, if you want to do a clean and surely working installation, press the CSE Flash one.
Tell me if you solved or the flash have a failed result.

LG G4 H815 stuck, download mode only, no adb

Hello hello,
I unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP 2.8.7.0 (adb -> fastboot method) and then I flashed SuperSU 2.46 zip. After reboot from TWRP my phone stuck.
I can't access TWRP or i don't know how to…
System isn't starting BUT sometimes after few minutes of seeing LG logo i see standard wallpaper and suddenly animation freezes. That's all.
When i go to recovery mode (voldown+power, release power and press power again) I can "do" factory reset. I choose 2xYES and i see green android. Then phone is restarting but i should enter to TWRP, right?
I tried to flash stock system (kdz, tot, dz) via:
- LG Flash Tool 2014
- LG Flash Tool 1.8.6.527
- LGUP
- LG Bridge
but nothing…
My phone PID and IMEI is null :/ (and "CUMSS" to :?)
I tried fix that with QPST (2 different versions) but in device manager my phone is only detected as COM port. No "Android Device". I can't read and write anything…
adb isn't working
I tried all USB 2.0 ports, different drivers, roms (even not for 815), dlls.
I fought 3 days and still have brick, not smartphone
I have only download mode working.
I can send commands to com port (Send_Command.exe) but sometimes nothing happen, sometimes i see "fail" after sent command.
Any ideas? Can I install recovery through download mode? Or maybe somebody know how to send files to phone in download mode but without adb?
I had stock rom MM V20L. What else you need to know?
Thanks for any suggestions, sorry for chaos in post and my english.
After trying different roms in different programs with 3 versions of dlls and different drivers…
I found solution: just reinstalled .NET Framework and then finally i flashed by LGUP (refurbish, v20L, kdz, dll 0.0.3.23)!

I can't try anything since my original e4 had ghost touch issues, so I haven't unlocked the bootloader on my new one because I want to keep the warranty

taking firmware backup doesn't void your device warranty. instead this process doesn't require rooting or unlocked bootloader :fingers-crossed:
isn't it possible to do a spflashtool readback if we have a scatter file ...
---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------
My device ( woods)(E4) isn't using this chipset ? shouldn't we try to edit a scatter file from the correct chipset and pulling the block map from adb ?
I want to get a valid scatter to do a readback of an unpatched boot image and stock rom using spflashtools and then patching boot with magisk .
Then we could flash back to stock etc etc ...can any of you who rooted woods use terminal or adb and pull the correct mount points so we can create a scatter for the 2GB/16GB woods variant .

@KevMetal
you can do this by following the main post
it's a miracle dump so obviously you can't make it spflash tool flashable. but our device have newer mtk chipset MT6737M and miracle tool isn't capable of flashing factory images to newer chipset you need a dongle to complete the flashing process. if we make this process more simple than you need to follow these simple steps.
dump firmware with miracle tool. its in .bin format change the extention to .img and this firmware is ready for flashing with fastboot tool.
do not flash these files in fastboot mode *pgpt.img* and "preloader.img*
if you still want to flash pgpt.img the correct way of flashing this file is "fastboot flash partition pgpt.img"
I am unable to backup using this guide as miracle tool fails to detect my phone. I followed the guide thoroughly but the tool shows "Waiting for USB Port..." two times and then "none usbport, maybe driver not installed". My phone shows white LED when I connect it as per instructions in OP.

Battery must be removed !! When doing backup through miracle.
You have to press vol. Down button multiple times when device is connected with laptop.

I did remove the battery. Also, do you need to press the volume up button or down? I pressed the start button as soon as COM & LPT disappeared from Device Manager. I also tried to press the volume down button multiple times as instructed by you but still no success.
Can someone please share the stock backup of XT1760 taken using this method?

why did you brick while flashing recovery ? didn't you make a backup before flashing ? either way since there are so many SKU versions it would be better to make your own backup .
if your phone isn't booting after twrp it is because you didn't flash the no dm-verity zip
if the one you got isn't working try the no dm-verity and good instructions for installing in my thread for SKU xt1762 ....
to reboot to recovery hold power and volume down ...you won't go directly to recovery but first to bootloader ...using the volume key "scroll" until you see it says recovery and select that option using power button
when in recovery flash no dm -verify zip
don't flash stock files from my post cos I think they might not be cross compatible between variants for stock only custom roms .
otherwise download a scatter file and stock rom from google and the interwebs and flash your phone using sp flashtools and scatter file .

No, I didn't brick my device. Actually, I wasn't able to backup my stock ROM using this guide, so I flashed TWRP and backed up my stock ROM using that. I just need stock backup so that I can go back to pure stock if required.

if you backed up using twrp why would you need pure stock ? there is very little chance you would need stock recovery and boot because you are way more likely to get Oreo via custom rom .....the backup you made in twrp is more than enough in my opinion ...anyways

The main reason is stock recovery, even stock boot was backed up by TWRP. Stock phones get higher rates while reselling.
There is an OTA update notification in my XT1760 in India. Can anyone please share the stock recovery?

Buddy here you done a small mistake. Also you don't bother to read whole thread in a respective manner just scrolling and scrolling. When COM & LPT disappear from device manager. You need to press start button in miracle tool not the vol. Down or up or power button any more. As present COM & LPT port disappears a new port has been established as soon as you press the start button in miracle tool. In first attempt COM &LPT contain MTK USB Port driver as soon as it's removed a new port appears, the actual driver software we need MTK Preloader usb com port#7. Hope you understand it very well

I read the OP thoroughly and followed the instructions to the letter. But somehow I failed to backup my device. That is why I have been continuously requesting you to share the stock backup if possible for you. Please oblige if not too inconvenient for you. We are here to help each other.
Hello guys,
can I use this method for my moto XT1771. My Androind version is 7.1.1 .Thanks.
