Just wanted everybody to know that you CAN downgrade your MM LG G4 for Verizon by using LGUP.
And this is how...
1). Download all The Files Below!
1) Firmware Files - Click HERE!
Or Here LGKDZ.com for your exact match KDZ for your model
2) Download LG Drivers - LG Drivers Here - 10.9 Mb
2.1)Verizon Drivers (Verizon Only)LG_VZW - 7.8 Mb
3..LGUP can be found on this website LG UP DOWNOAD
You have to sign into one of your accounts and like the page for them to open the downloads in the middle of the page.
4. install the drivers then the .msi file for LGUP. Usually there is a DLL file and the LGUP application, install the .DLL file then install LGUP.
5. First make sure that your phone is showing up on LGUP, if not make sure you have USB debugging enabled and the you are connected with MTP.
6. Find your .kdz file, and don't press start VERY IMPORTANT!!, Exit out of the application and then REOPEN LGUP and your 13b.KDZ should still be in the box at the bottom.
7. Now just press start and wait for it to do it's magic.
And now your back on LL and you can get back to rooting this phone.
And just so people know it is not possible to downgrade from LL to KK, it will brick your phone for some reason, and trust me I had to send mine back and get a knew one, nothing would get it to work again!
So that's how you get back to LL from MM, which seems to be the only way to have root at the moment...
One more thing, I was able to transfer the files for the effortless root on MM but you can't do any send_command.exe commands because it just says FAIL. but it did switch the system software from Official to Modified so it did something just not what I wanted it to do....
If there's anyone wondering why this works, it's because both the 13b and 24c kdz's both have the same qfuse number, so the bootloader accepts both without bricking. If Verizon ever puts out an update that increments the qfuse value and you take it, you won't be able to downgrade to 13b or 24c.
I have the kdz file but it wont let me put it on lgup. It's looking for a .tot file. Help would be greatly appreciated
Nevermind. Figured it out
would this work with h811

Thank you for the info! Just curious: how do you check the value of qfuse?
I did this on a Canadian variant H812 and it worked. Rooted right after and that worked too. I am a happy camper.
I loaded H81210n.
Anyone reading do note that I did not use the Verizon files above.

What you must do is tick the update and select the kdz file. Then close LGUP, open it again and select refurbish and kdz file should be there. Start the load.
This phone with L and root is perfect. No M for me until root (if it happens). Really enjoy having the changed DPI with root and no permanent notification for Priority mode.
You can DL from here, without "liking" anything. http://www.droidopinions.com/download-lgup-tool/

*edit* sorry did not mean to quote the person above me. I'm asking about actually getting from MM back to LP
Hate to ask this but has anyone verified this? I'm wanting to do this to mine tonight but I don't have near the experience a lot of others do here.
I did this without any problems at all

It's very easy. Just load stock kdz with LGUP. I even rooted and all that after.

I haven't done it just yet. And I know I'm not the smartest here. But to my knowledge yes you will lose everything. So always good to back up all your files. I've got all my photos backed up to google photos. over 5000 lol. But yeah from what I understand it's the same as doing a factory reset except instead of factory resetting back to MM you're factory resetting to LP.

(Request to a moderator below my response to stephen293)
OK, I did mine last night and using the refurbish mode as said does in fact delete all data.
((TO MODERATOR CAN WE GET THE ORIGINAL POST UPDATED TO INCLUDE THAT TO LOCATE THE KDZ FILE YOU NEED TO FIRST TICK THE UPGRADE CIRCLE)) I found it down the thread, But just figured it would be easier for others if it was included in the original post. Thanks
Big ups to everyone who made this happen!

Hey sorry but the www.lgkdz.com doesn't work. Is there another site we can find all lg firmware to downgrade for our exact lg variant match....
From OP second 1), try : http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G4/
or check the XDA G4 section for your variant.
Thank you for your response. I did actually download the H812 kdz from storagecow however when I put it in the LGUP tool it read as an error in the tot file. I'm not sure what happened or where I went wrong. I'm so confused at this point and without my G4 being unuseable at this time. I also wanted to ask if the kdz you directed me to are in fact the file I need to go back to LP from MM?
Hey, guys.
I was wondering if you know how to get the partition.txt file from an AT&T LG G3 Stock ROM .tot through LG Firmware Extract? I recently bricked my phone is this is the second to last step, but the one I'm having the most trouble with. I have the .tot file as well as the .dll file, but I can't seem to find partition.txt from either of them.
Putting the .dll file in the program just gave me an error, the .tot file basically extracts all the files EXCEPT the one I'm looking for. I tried doing it in BoardDiag as well; it came up with the same results. I'll try to redownload the stock firmware and see if it was incomplete, but I don't think that's likely.
Anyone have any clues?

It is available in stock firmware.But you also need boarddiag to create a partition.txt or if you have d850 32gb att device then also i can provide you the partition.txt file.

Ok.Download the .tot file of your stock rom.Kdz not work thats why you neef the .tot file then open boarddiag.At the end of boarddiag,you need to select the bin (in which select the downloaded .tot) and then select the output destination folder where you want to get partition file. Note : During process boarddiag will stuck and the pc shows not responding on boarddiag,dont worry keep it continue until the boarddiag says that the extraction is completed.
If i really help you then you can give me a like ☺☺.
Hello,
I have a LG G3 (D855P - Made and sold in Brazil) that I bricked while trying to root it with LGUP (actually to downgrade it first). It won't boot normally neither enter download mode anymore. When I plug it on windows it says "Quectel QDLoader 9008". Yes, Quectel, I assume it's supposed to be QUalcomm. Software version is V30A. So yeah, I'm trying to find the .tot for it because I could only find the .kdz file here:
*I can't post it because I'm new* Remove " dot " and add ".". And don't forget to add the http thing in the beginning.
pkg02 dot cdn dot gdms dot lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FWDCCTI972GMA1Y8685CZCL/D855P30a_00_0118.kdz
Question is: Does anybody have the .tot file for it?
Can I use random D855P .tot file or some variant? If so, which? Like 10A, 20A, or 30A. OR, 30B, C...? Since mine is 30A.
thanks and HELP!
Edit: managed to get Qualcomm thing. But no TOT for it Also, If it try another random tot for D855 I get "No AP... try pmic first".
I believe this tool will extract a TOT from a KDZ

It still misses the partition.txt needed in boardiag.
Perhaps this may help: https://web.archive.org/web/2015111...how-to-create-partition-txt-file-kdz-t3109859
I am not exactly sure because this is for a D502, but perhaps the theory will help.
Hopefully someone else can help out here.

I had this issue last night so thought id save people some trouble and share the the file needed incase you need to flash over 20D's KDZ file either to go back or forward.
Please unzip and put in C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\common
Works with LGUP 1.14

1.14 is the latest. I found some other typos in other LG threads also calling it "1.4".
Sent via open market LG US998 V30/V30+
Damn.
I had it working with 1.14, but I thought I had the wrong version. So I uninstalled it.
Now I can't get it to load - wrong dll for VS99620a.
Plus I wanted the developer version of LGUP.
Pretty sure I need the Partition option to flash other-model KDZ.
Hi there,
I need some help because i fell so stupid.... I cannot use the patched DLL for uppercut in order to flash the newest Oreo KDZ for H930...
I installed LGUP 1.14, USB DRiervs, etc... Download and uncompress uppercut 1.0.0.0. I downloaded the patched DLL 1.0.31.9. Even if I copy that dll on the uppercut folder or wherever i copy, the version shown on LGUP is always the 1.0.28.9... SO I cannot flash the latest Oreo KDZ
Help please?
thx in advance
you have to run lgup.exe not uppercut shortcut.

Hi, has anyone been able to revert back to N from O, please? I upgraded my H930DS (Hong Kong) to the Open Euro 20d ROM, but haven't been able to go back to N using either the patched LGUP or UPPERCUT (… I'm not happy with the limitation on the use of the dual SIM). With the phone in download mode, the error I get is "DLL for H93020d is invalid. Please install valid DLL package(*.msi) for the model". I get the same message if I try both methods with the phone in its normal operating mode. Thanks for any help.

Thanks, but I think the operative word in that quote is "should". I've tried that method with the phone in download mode and with it in its normal operating mode, but LGUP no longer recognises my phone model. I can get the LGUP pop-up with the serial port but the pop-up shows the phone as an unknown model, which I guess is the issue preventing the firmware update.
The version of LGUP_common.dll that I'm using is 1.0.35.3, which should be the latest. Its digital signature is dated Tuesday, 19 December 2017 3:33:29 PM. Its MD5# is c3df15812c1294028bfd330eb725519b.

Here is the reply I received from LG about reverting to Nougat (I asked them to do it for a fee):
"Dear Peter,
Thank you for contacting LG Customer Support. I apologise, but please be advised that we cannot put back your the previous software of your phone.
We suggest that you perform Factory Reset to your phone. This will not restore its previous software, but can fix issues of your phone. However, this will delete everything saved in your phone memory. You may back up first your files.
To reset:
Go to Settings
Select Backup & Reset
Select Factory Data Reset
If the issue will still continue, please let us know so we can assist you further.
Thank you. Have a great day ahead.

… However, I was able to flash my LGH930DS to Oreo for the LGH930DS using LG Bridge after a few attempts (I couldn't get UPPERCUT to revert my phone to Nougat), resolving my issue with using the dual-SIM with the cross-flashed firmware and thus obviating my need to revert to Nougat.
Looking for some guidance please & thanks.
I have a H933, converted using the Frankenstein method to a US998. Then Unlocked BL, TWRP and rooted. Upgraded to US99820d
I would now like to flash back to stock H933. I have installed the Patched version of LGUP. I have extracted the DLL here into a common folder inside the model folder. I put the phone in Download mode, plug it in and then launch LGUP (patched). it finds the device but then errors saying the DLL is not valid for US98820d and to get a compatible DLL.
I recently bought a sprint LG G7 for a really good deal since it was cracked from the back corner. I've been searching around it seems no one is able to unlock it yet.
I was wondering, could I unlock it if I flash the LMG-710EM kdz file from the European unlocked G7?
If not anyone know about how long it takes until someone finds a way to unlock it? It's just sitting there.
I don't think you can flash it if it's still locked and it's still not sure if other versions of the firmware would work on other models since the "EM" one is the only ones that's unlockable ( as far as I know).

I believe you need dll version v40 if it even exist you can try the v30 dll just replace the application and the model folder under your os/program files 86 /lg electronics /lgup something like that.
here is what i use for v30 and g6 it auto detects different model's try this and let us know if it works. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1prmqNlS_0pyElxnd9fTk32JVT5ym0dZ-?usp=sharing

Have you tried this? I dont think it will work because to cross flash the firmware you need to use dl partition if you use refurbish then it will throw an error?
Also in there comments someone said they got an error and phone brick so doesnt work for cross flashing only if its the same model number.
Is there any update on this?
Isn't it's possible to convert it on US version like it was done on V30?
