HELP : I flashed H815 firmware on my F500L...Stuck - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everyone.
I'm in a big mess.
My LG G4 showed as H815 in device information (But it was F500L) . It had 5.1 (LP).
To update it to 7.0 (N) I flashed the TOT file for N with version H815 thru LG UP.
Now it did complete to 100%. The phone rebooted and showed error like " Central App not loded" or something like this.
I tried again to Flash the TOT file thru LG Up. It went till 21% then shoed error command not recognized.
I triedLG bridge. It shows device as F500L.
Although LG Bridge says update available, it could not update either.
So the problem is I flashed wrong version. My phone is F500L and its showing "firmware update" when plugged into USB with PC.
In LG Up it shows as H81510H
Please guide friends....

Why u flashed the tot file?
For your Location (Korea ? ) there is an official Update to 7....
Look here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-f500l-firmwares/
or this Link: https://lg-kdz-firmware.com/
You should use LGUP again and flash back with stock 5.1 or 6.0 kdz, follow the link.
Hope will helps you otherwise reply

Okay, that Sounds good Yes really..
I think the Probelm is in LGUP´s dll, you must replace the LGUP_8994.dll with the L500F kdz from.
Download the Tool LG Firmware extract, Link from my GDrive:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NTzwI-qLBpIgTov5PC4THZJWbAOhJDO3/view?usp=sharing
Start the tool and load the kdz in, then you see some files in the tool. Mark the lgup8994.dll and extract it, close the tool.
The dll can find now in the Folder of LG Firmware extract tool, rename it to LGUP_8994.dll
Copy that new dll and put into C:\Program Files\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\8994
The old LGUP_8994.dll remove to desktop and put the new dll in here and start again with LGUP.
Please point LGUP to Refurbish and NOT to Upgrade. The old dll that was in the Folder is for the Nougat tot file and the H81520p kdz only.
Hopefully thats will works for you, normaly it should !

Well this is not working.
LG UP recognizes my phone as H81529a. So it doesn;t let me flash F500L rom.
When I extracted 3994 DLL from F500L KDZ and replace in LGUP folder and start LG UP. It shouts wrong version DLL.
Is there any way I can make LG UP to recognize my device as F500L and Not H81529a.
LG Bridge recognizes it as F500L though but it doesn't update my phone either.
Please help n guide

Hmmmmmm
Okay, the H81529a Header says LGUP that is a G4 H815 with Anroid 7 ( 29a) on it. Okay, the LGUP_3994.dll wont work for your F500L kdz. By the Way..wich kdz you try to flash? is it a MM one or the Korean Nougat ?
On my H815 i had the 29a after flashing the Nougat tot file too and came back to MM ONLY with H81520p_00_0314.kdz other kdz for my H815 did fail too.
This Problem with LGUP is only the dll file...so you must find a working dll for LGUP.
Maybe you download the Korean Nougat kdz and extract the dll like the last posting before and flash the Korean Nougat, i think the Korean Nougat has 29a too, so LGUP should work.....
Or find a F500L20p kdz file...
I don´t know what to do yet. Sorry.

Well...
I have been able to sucessfully flash H81520p_00_0314.kdz on it.
It starts but no signal / network.
I'm from India so I think the version I flashed doesn't match with Indian Band.
Now what to do ?
In India following works :
2G network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz
3G network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100|TD-SCDMA
4G network LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 7(2600), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500)
Data GPRS,EDGE,HSDPA,HSUPA,HSPA,HSPA+,LTE

For my undstanding....
1) You have still H81520p_00_0314.kdz running on your Phone ? but no Indian Band ?
2) What Header is LGUP showing now?
If you have H81520p_00_0314.kdz on it, you are able to Downgrade to ever Version you want, H81520p_00_0314.kdz make it possible only !
So, find out your Rom for your Location and flash it with LGUP. Keep the 8994 dll it comes from H81520p_00_0314.kdz in the folder and flash.
After downgrade with LGUP (Refurbish Mod ) do a Over the Air update on your Phone or via LG Bridge and do "correct update Error" instead of "Search for Updates" and normaly its works.
Follow this Links for the Roms
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/
https://lg-kdz-firmware.com/
If you are unsure what rom you must get, go to https://lg-firmware-rom.com/
and type your IMEI in and watch for the results.
Greetings....

Well
Problems just dont seem to end.
I hooked it up with LG bridge.
It showed model as "G4".
No version no code just G4.
I started to update it (thats before I read your msg)
Update stopped in between and phone turned off. I unplugged it and pulled out the battery. Restarted.
It showed LG logo and agained turned off.
I tried to reset by pressing Down vol n power button.
Options came to reset n I reset it.
Now again turned on. It showed optimizing android.
Stopped at 4 of 32 app and screen went blank.
Now LG bridge reads it as L500F at place of G4.
Hooked up again in download mode and LG UP disnt recognize it. Again restarted.
LG up recognized as H81520p.
I reflashed thr H815 20 p kdz.
Completed successfully.
But the problem is again same. It shows optimizing android and screen goes blank after 3 of 32 app or 4 of 32 app.
Have I messed up the recovery ?
I am able to go into download mode and LG up reads it as H81520p.
Plz guide

I will do my Best my Friend.
I don't understand why the optimizing Process stops....
Maybe there is something blocking the process.
My only idea now is to flash Twrp on it and wipe all chaches. Davlik,Data and Cache and let the phone boot up and see what is going on. This is the working TWRP for G4 on H81520p
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sOsVDs1vZzuvirWQ0ByFPZv9BC9Eu4yH/view?usp=sharing
But for twrp flashing the Bootloader must be unlocked. You can do this on lg developer page ( https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev ), type in your IMEI and you get a unlock.bin via email.
I think you know the process for Bootloader unlocking otherwise i will guide you.

Hi
Can bootloader be unlocked in LG G4 MM ?
Initially when i flashed nougat TOT on it, the firmaware update page was either in korean or chinese then after nougat TOT flash ot became in english.
Could it be that the recovery is also overwritten ?

Hey.
Yes you can unlock Bootloader in MM too.
After the bootloader is unlocked, the Phone will reboot and do a Hardreset itself, you can´t do anything to block the Hardreset.
Notice: After flashing in any Versions the Recovery will be deleted too !! Example, if you have TWRP on the Phone and flashing any kind of firmware, the Recovery with TWRP in it will be deleting..thats normal in the flashing process.
BUT you CAN´T unlock the Bootloader yet ! You must enable the Developer Mod in the Phone first and set OEM unlock.
Your Phone does not boot up correctly at this moment, this Problem MUST be solved first !!
Did you try a Hardreset ?
Switch Phone off, pull Battery and place it back. Press the Volume down Button and keep hold and press Power Button and keep pressed, after LG Logo is showing up, release the Power Button for 1 secound but still keep Volume down pressed. Press Powerbutton again and hold pressed until the Green Android thing is showing up, release both buttons now.
In short: After Battery was pulled and replaced..
Press and hold VOL -
Press and hold Power
after LG Logo is showing up
Release Power 1 Sec. and press again and hold until Android puppy is showing, release both Buttons.
Now the Phone should boot up and do the optimazion process correctly.
If not, then i have no more ideas. Maybe flash a MM 5.0 Version over the MM 6.0 via REFURBISH option in LGUP
Hopefully something works for you.

SO Finally it's dead.
I tried to hard reset and the puppy appeared and then it rebooted. Again went to optimizing apps. Stuck at 14 of 32.
Became unresponsive.
I pulled out the battery and reinserting after 20 sec.
Nothing.
After several battery removal and reinserts, I managed to get it in download mode.
I was trying to Flash H815 20p KDZ again as it was working initially. But at 50% process of flashing, it shows error of USB Disconnected and phone screen went blank.
Since then it was neither starting nor getting in download mode. Tried everything.
It doesn't even show after connecting to PC.
Dead as dodo.
I looked at it with more attention. Removed the battery cover saw the model on mobile body,
it has model no H811
On box the model no is H815
LG Bridge recognized it as F500L.
IMEI No search says its F500L.
So basically it looks to either a refurbished phone or a fake.
I bought it thru eBay on 18th Jan 18. So I had to claim refund against a faulty product.
I suppose I'll get a refund, I will skip replacement as it's likely that the seller might again push a refurbished / fake phone.
End of the story till then.
If I dont get a refund I'll revive the thread.
Thanks to FOTO AG and XDA for support n advice.

Sorry to hear that Mate.
Hopefully you get a christall clear G4 one Day. Maybe you get an other Model in the Future, a Samung or similar,who knows.
Wish you all the Best !

maybe a hint for you, pls watch this

You should have hexedited a F500L tot(wich is your motherboard version) and changed the LGX to H815, saved the file and then flashed. That could been solved your issue and turned your phone back to F500 with a functional and booting system

So you have access to the download mode now ?
D855 is the international version and the D850 is the AT&T one. Does your phone has an AT&T logo ?
You can also check the variant on the box of your phone.

Cannot flash G4 H815 TWN with LGUP. Continual "Invalid TOT file" errors.

Hi All,
I received the official LG OTA MM update for my H815 (TWN) a week ago and I've just noticed that the bluetooth function now doesn't work at all. It won't even turn on and there is no MAC address associated with bluetooth in settings (It just says "unavailable"). On 5.1.1 bluetooth worked fine.
I've been trying all day to downgrade back to LP 5.1.1 using LGUP but it gives the "TOT file is invalid[1]" error with every KDZ file I have tried.
I have tried these KDZs:
Europe H81520C_00_1218.kdz
Europe OPEN H81510D.kdz
TWN H81520b_00_1218.kdz
The phone is running MM 6.0 and V20c
LGUP detects it as "H815" on COM4 when connected.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? I really need the bluetooth to work and this is soooooo frustrating.
Thanks in advance.

Flash recovery firmware using LG Bridge. That'll solve the problem.
You seem to have flashed wrong (partially incompatible) KDZ file on your device. Talking about H815 itself, there are multiple versions based upon provider and country. So flash recovery firmware, and dont do it when your device is on.
Here is how you should do it:
1. Download LG bridge on your computer.
2. Switch off your Device, pull out your battery.
3. Attach your USB Cable from desktop to mobile
4. Hold volume up button, and put your battery while holding it. It should switch on itself if the USB is attached and you are holding volume up before putting in battery.
5. Once its on Bootloader, flash firmware recovery from LG Bridge.

Thanks Dark$tar. I did what you suggested and the LGbridge reinstalled MM6.0 onto the phone. I then did a hard reset and nothing is different. The bluetooth functionality still doesn't work at all and any attempt to flash the phone with LGUP still givers the "TOT file is invalid[1]" error with every KDZ I have. Thanks for your help though, at least I know I can recover the phone with LGBridge should I need to again.

Glad to hear that I could help! Also, if your bluetooth is still not working, it seems to be a hardware issue. Now that you have flashed the stock firmware via LG Bridge, you can claim warranty and get it fixed!

Also, though I think you wouldn't have made this mistake but since you mentioned it installed MM, so I want to ask:
Did you click on firmware upgrade or the firmware recovery? Note that the firmware update will simply use the base OS files and will replace the new ones and recovery firmware will replace the entire OS (refurbished). The Recovery Option is on Bottom right, in form of text which you need to click whereas the update option is the button on the same screen in the center that you don't have to click. Both of them have completely different functionality.
If you have done it right, well then I am 90% certain its the hardware issue. But I believe that the firmware backup is likely to install the November's released version of LP not MM (unless LG has recently changed that) which is why I am wondering.
Yeah, I clicked the blue recovery text in the Bottom right corner. It definitely installed MM 6.0 onto the phone.
Also, I have found out the cause of the bluetooth issue and unfortunately I have to wait for the next Android update. There was a large discussion on code.google.com about the exact problem I have and the current workaround requires the phone to be rooted. I don't think it's possible to root the H815 TWN yet.

Hi All,
I received the official LG OTA MM update for my H815 (TWN) a week ago and I've just noticed that the bluetooth function now doesn't work at all. It won't even turn on and there is no MAC address associated with bluetooth in settings (It just says "unavailable"). On 5.1.1 bluetooth worked fine.
I've been trying all day to downgrade back to LP 5.1.1 using LGUP but it gives the "TOT file is invalid[1]" error with every KDZ file I have tried.
I have tried these KDZs:
Europe H81520C_00_1218.kdz
Europe OPEN H81510D.kdz
TWN H81520b_00_1218.kdz
The phone is running MM 6.0 and V20c
LGUP detects it as "H815" on COM4 when connected.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? I really need the bluetooth to work and this is soooooo frustrating.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have the same problem, did you find a solution to "tot file is invalid" error message?
No, I didn't. Every one I tried gave me that error. I just gave up in the end.

Need Help Lg G4 Bricked......

Hello Everyone,
i need help reviving my lg g4 and i search all the forms but no avail. I just got a G4 4 days ago only it was running lollipop and working fine i just check for the MM update in phone but there was no update so as i previously own a lg g4 with flumics rom so i decided to flash a kdz with MM update. I see my model no. as h815 so i download H81520h_00_0516.kdz and flashed it through lg flash tool 2014 it flashed without no error but after the flash i got no display in phone just blue led flashes and i hear lg boot sound and then just nothing on phone display it switched off itself. I try to go into hard reset but again no display i try to go into download mode again no display. I attached it to pc it shows LGE Mobile USB Composite Device. Although it shows in lgup tool as H815 and port no. as well.I search my model no. through IMEI i found that it is actually F500L model as i see Korean as it flashed 1st time in download mode. After some research i manage to go into download mode by removing the battery and attaching the phone to pc as it shows empty battery icon so i inserted the battery by pressing the vol up button it goes into download mode. So i try to flash the right firmware which is F500L20u_00_0504.kdz bhut lgup says it invalid kdz i try to flash it through lg flashtool2014 but it says cannot connect to server and failed with contact system administrator. Although it flashes H815_EU_10C_00.kdz and India H818N10d_00.kdz firmware's but those give no display at all i tried it with Lg Bridge as it shows update avalable F500l and it download it but failed to flash it. I try flashing korean tot file LGF500LAT-00-V11d-LGU-KR-SEP-21-2015+0.tot through lgup tool but again it said invalid tot file So friends i am stuck and looking for 5 days to find any solution So anyone can please help me i just used it for 1 day . So can anyone help me.
You have to edit a F500L kdz with a hex editor and replace every F500L to H815 or something that flashes without error
First, if it's H815, you're to flash an H815 kdz with LG up

Put into download mode and refurbish the kdz accordingly.

Lg G4 H815 hard-bricked with different qualcomm soft?

Hello, (complete n00b here)
Several days ago I've tried to flash a 6.0 MM (from 5.1) to my LG G4 H815 phone. There was no option to do it automatically so I proceded to do it manually via flashboot.
I hard-bricked it to oblivion as in black screen, no response whatsoever.
While investigating @ the internet I've managed to understand I could get it fixed via quadcomm drivers (mode 9008).
Tried various "fixes" for H815 but was getting safari download errors. For some reason I tried a LS991 fix and it worked. When I started the phone it showed no logo but just a secure booting error 1006.
Still, could enter firmware download so I began to flash a lot of KDZ firmwares with no success.
LGUP shows my model : H81510H.
While in fastboot mode there is a note below (wasn't there the first time) with codes : 633 B46 or something like that.
While flashing anything it ALWAYS STOPS at 9% with a tot anti-rollback error. While flashing the code changes briefly where one can read smth like : LGLS991ZVA ver. 6.0
Managed to download some KDZ for that exact model, SAME ERROR. Tried to find / flash LS991ZVA with no success in finding a TOT file.
Also, managed to get ADB drivers up and it shows unauthorized in listing (LS991). Fastboot does not detect my device even in fastboot mode @ phone.
Please HELP!

H81510h is os version it is still at 5.1 I think....what may help is plug your phone in with lgup and drop the battery out of it then closes of LG up put battery back in and start LG up and find kdz that matchs your phone and make sure that it doesn't have anti rollback.....

Hello and thx for reply. I tried to do what u've said. It did something (I was looking for a while back). When I plug the cable back in, my windows 7 immediately installs quadcomm hs-usb driver (9008) and my phone acts as if it was dead. LGUP cannot find it in that state. I've been trying to QFIL the "proper" soft but it continues to pop different errors (using different QFIL versions). Either saharafail or some sort of download fail.
LGUP still presents an error (if I decide to "fastboot" it) @ 9% 0x2000, TOT antirollback version is smaller than device version.
How can I make sure I've got the proper KDZ without ANTI-ROLLBACK?

Thx again. Uppercut shows H81510H as LGUP did. Is it possible that it's somehow write-protected?
It confuses me, since during the firmware update on my phone, I get this small box below the picture showing wierd codes : 633A Bxx and when I'm trying to flash my phone, the code gets longer with LS991ZVA v6.0 and more other. It then stops.
Funny thing is, when I got the phone I couldn't even connect to the LG bridge to update it at all. I've managed to do it bugging the MTP protocol but THAT on the other hand prevented me from copying stuff / FLASH my phone to MM 6.0. Had to factory reset it back then and all went back to "normal" = LG couldnt detect my device but I could copy photos or stuff from it.
NOW, when my phone is bricked, LGbridge DETECTS my phone (in fastboot), downloads the newest KDZ update BUT cannot install it (same thing as in LGUP). Hence my question : is it somehow write-protected?

Have you tried to eset it by pushing power and volume own then when you see bootsplash then release power button and hen quickly push the power button again....
But in your case push power and volume down within the count or 20 then release power then push power button again and see what happens and then try the same thing on volume up......
Thanks for the reply.
I did what u've said. Despite no logo I tried to release power button for a second just after the screen's brightness goes up (I also get a small vibration @ start). Everytime I get secure booting error 1006 after a few seconds.
On the other hand when I did that with volume UP button there was no error but there was nothing aswell until I release power button in which case I got the secure booting error. All of the above tries were done with no USB connection with anything.

Do try with usb s well it may do something r do nothing......
Can't tell atm since I gave it to professionals. I'll wait and see how it'll turn up. Thx for all the effort tho, was nice to tinker with a lil help
@Longbranch did you solve this problem ? I'm in the same state but my phone model is H810, everything else is the same as yours.
Nope, not really. I gave it back to the reseller and my money got returned luckily.
The professionals I refer to above did install a specific firmware for the ls991 type. Firmware ZVB I think. The only one appliable apparently. Anyways, as I suspected the ls991 type is for the US and therefore it didn't work in my country in EU. My sim card wouldnt work with it. Besides, without the sim card, the phone decided to freeze and die after several minutes every time I turn it on. Swapped for LG G5 and it's working flawlessly up until this day.
good for you, what i don't understand is that it's a h810 model but now identify as ls991 does that mean you can convert it just by a Qfil flash? I may try another model flash if can't find a suitable Rom for it

Yes! That's what I and neutrondev telling everyone :
do not use qfil without the knowledge about the result!
The only working firehose file available out there is for the ls991 and that means if you use it it will turn your device into a ls991 without any way to get back to your previous device model!!

@steadfasterX since I have done it already is there any way to get it working even as an LS991 ?
here is what i did till now
the reason for using Qfill is that it went dead after flashing an H810 rom .
after that when it's in download mode it doesn't allow me to flash the ls911ZV5 ls911ZV6 ls911ZV6_12 roms that i found ( it says LS991ZVA )
so i went in fastboot and flashed boot/aboot/recovery....img extracted from the ls911ZV6 rom then it accepted the rom in download mode
but it is stuck in a hard bootloop ( reboots when it is getting in recovery but still has download mode yet no fastboot as before)
any thoughts ?

Yes it's possible. You can boot a h811 H815 or any other rom you like. Even LOS!!
Great right? BUT you are bounded to the ls991 modem and so you need to be in a sprint network to use telephony. That means the phone is now useless outside the US .
And you wrote you tried ls911 ROMs? I hope you meant ls991
I work on a fully working experience on every network though. Checkout my proof of concept for unlocking the bootloader thread
I can go into details on IRC if you like.

@steadfasterX thank you for keeping up with me ! ( btw what room on IRC ?)
for now I have used Qfill again and got fastboot working again and flashed TWRP ( not sure where ! ) so when the phone is off and i plug the usb it boots to twrp ( but it doesn't in recovery )
normal boot will show "secure boot error 1002"
then i flashed twrp img to recovery partition using twrp but it didn't work in recovery ( still reboots after showing Recovery Mode loading screen )
also tried to load some roms on the device to try them but I got error "file too large for filesystem " when copying them .
atm I don't know the state I'm in and what should be next ?
btw here are the recovery log and dmesg

Np we can bring you back to life but as already said without cell service. That's the price for the firehose and unlocked feeling you have now.
Did you found and read my thread here?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/bl-unlock-unlock-bootloader-proof-t3648288
There you will find some more info and also the IRC details how you can find me. I'm online from Monday to Friday mainly.
It's much easier to talk in chat then here. once all the details are known I will provide a full guide.

LG G4 H815 bricked only download mode available

I just bricked my g4 by flashing a kdz but then the kdz fdailed and after rebooting the phone it was only able and was immediately going ( after the lg logo) to the download mode/ firmware upgrade. It was not recognizable by LGUP. I added some dll files to help fix that LGUP issue but i dont know if its working because by g4 cannot be detected by LGUP. Going in recovery to factory reset and selecting Yes 2 times only freezes the phone.

I have exactly the same problem. I can flash v20p KDZ, but reboot still failed (stuck at LG logo).
Then I enter download mode, I can flash v29a tot polish nougat rom , but reboot still failed.
I notice that the LED is not flashing at LG logo screen.
Is there any other way to try?
Thanks

You're sure that you wait long enough? You check how the process is running on the phone "flash status bar" while flashing in download mode screen?
You try to boot on recovery and factory reset?
I waited for 5 minutes.
The flash process completed 100% successfully.
I tried to boot in recovery and confirm ‘yes’ twice, but nothing happen.
If I flash android 5.1 and flash LG’s MSM big core disable tool tot, it can boot successfully.
So I guess my main board may have problem.
Now I need to see if there is an DIY way to fix this.
