I want to clean wipe my lg g3 and install stock firmware. The two methods I discovered was kdz method and tot method. Are these two methods the best or are there other ways I don't know about? What's the difference between these two methods and which should I use to wipe everything off my phone to make it as if it was new from the factory?
You should use kdz as there are no tot files for the latest firmwares.

Thanks for the reply. What exactly is the difference between the two and should I use cse flash?

After some reading(I may be wrong, if someone knows better, correct me.)
tot files requires a dll file to be flashed.
tot files are released for upgrades that can't be downgraded. This makes sense for me as all tot files are from KK, there are no LP and MM tot files.
I never used lg flash tool 2014, only LGUP with kdz files and it works without issues.

Sorry this is confusing. KK is a downgrade from LP and MM. What do you mean by "tot files are released for upgrades that can't be downgraded." LG flash tool is easier.

I mean there are tot files for the first KK update, you can't downgrade lower than that, because that is the first one. This is my thoughts, I may be completely wrong here [emoji3]
is there any available file of kdz nougat version? im looking forward to upgrade my lg g3 korean version i have already 6.0 as of now there is no issue or bug from it

can i use tot .and dll files of D55 32 gb to flash F400s??
I'm assuming you mean D855, and the answer is def NO, you may brick your device, hardware is not the same, only use TOT and KDZ files that are meant for YOUR model, never flash another version.

Hi I just received a 18mb update i.e. V20L. My device is rooted. When I tried to install the update it said that it has detected root and hence software update not possible.
Can someone help?

You'll first need to revert to stock using either the KDZ or TOT method before taking the OTA...

Thanks for the reply. That means I'll have to install all apps all again.
Any method I can make the Ota file flashable through recovery?

not if u backup all apps i use all in one tool box so when u go back stock just download all in one then restore apps make sure ure back saves on external sd or will be lost on restore from tot.
A TWRP flashable *.zip can be created from the KDZ file, but I'm not sure how it's done. Unfortunately the only TWRP flashable ZIPs I'm aware of are for the D851, those having been created from the 20b, 20e, and 20g KDZs.

Hey! So I am a noob in Lg G4 developing and stuff!
So heres the question, I don't have rooted system or unlocked bootloader, so if I were to Upgrade my G4 H815 from 10D to 20B , what files will I have to flash, like I am downloading the system file , do I also have to flash the modem bootloader Boot , or is the system file enough ?
I am using lg Up to upgrade, so I have no idea what am I doing
All you need in the right kdz file you want to flash and LGUP software on your windows computer.
Thats it...
Good luck.

Yea, I figured it out later, I was downloading the wrong files thanks!
Yes kdz file is the one you need to flash via LGUP since I had a lot of trouble myself with my LG I've become a little bit of an expert. You can pm me if you need any help Cheers

Hello all,
I have a LG G3 D855P Brazilian model.
I've updated my G3 to Marshmallow via the LG Flashtool 2014 using this method:
http://www.android.gs/manually-update-lg-g3-to-android-6-0-using-marshmallow-kdz-and-flash-tool/
I have also installed TWRP to root it in MM.
My phone is working fine, but I want to revert back to official KK or LL. The problem is that I am now unable to restore it back to factory. I have tried the following options:
1. Using the LG FlashTool v1.8.6.527 with LGD855AT-00-V10e-EUR-XX-JUL-08-2014-16G+0.tot and LGD855_20140526_LGFLASHv160.dll.
Doesn't work. The FlashTool complains the device model is wrong (should be D855 when it's actually D855P)
2. Using the LGUP tool. Doesn't work also. It gets stuck at the "Start TOT Download" part (9%) and it never finishes.
What are my options? As far as I know, the TOT file I've been trying to use is the correct one.
Thanks in advance!

What MM are you using now? So far as I know you can donwgrade from MM to LP, not KK, using the LGUP tool.
If I were you, I'd unroot or reflash the MM. Then downgrade to LP. Try to use KDZ files,
I currently have V20a-OPT2-HQ (Marshmallow 6.0) after reverting to stock ROM from this thread.
Is it really the latest version? I though I had V20f or something before. H815 Norwegian.
considering that thread is almost a year old its obvious that that kdz is not the latest anymore, I have V20G on my EUR device.

I can aswell download Android 5 Lollipop KDZ and then upgrade to Marshmallow OTA? Because I tried MM KDZ before and it didn't work.

you have to be careful downgrading it bricks phone depending on antirollback.. what didnt worked? di you have bad download or wrong KDZ will also brick phone.. be very careful ask before doing anything.. i have no idea about other variants.
