Guys,
I used to be very good at rooting by in my HTC days (3 yrs ago). Not so much now a days :crying: I need some help.
I have the ATT LG G3 D850 (i believe) (16gb)
I rooted my phone a few months back. It was an app that did it quite easily for me. I downloaded and used root only apps like titanium back up with no problems.
I didn't download TWRP because at the time i don't believe it was available.
Anyways fast forward a few months and with lollipop out i thought i'd try to install TWRP and a rom that had android 5.0
I downloaded the TWRP app and then installed TWRP recovery through the app. (i listed my phone as D851 because i couldn't find D850 on the list)
Everything seemed to run fine and got a notification that the install was done successfully.
I tried to boot into recovery through the TWRP app and my phone did not boot! I get a message at the upper left corner of my phone that says:
: Boot Certification Verify
______________________________
Secure booting Error!
Cause : Boot Certification Verify
______________________________
and then my phone turns off.
What the hell did i do to my beautiful LG G3? Can someone help me fix this?
I greatly appreciate the help! This forum has always been so awesome!
You will probably have to reflash the KDZ - never choose a phone model unless its your actual device

Can you help Explain how I do this? What is KDZ?
You must check what exactly model you have. Then download a firmware in KDZ format and flash it through LG Flash Tool. Can't give you more details, because I never used that way of flashing new firmware
You flashed TWRP for the T-Mobile variant that ships with an unlocked bootloader, however your variant has a locked boot loader hence the boot Sig error. You need to flash back to stock with kdz and then flash bumped TWRP which works around the locked bootloader and allows you to flash Roms and kernals. You can download "bumped" TWRP here: http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lg_g3/bump/, and here is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/bump-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-d852-d852g-f400-t2900614

If i flash back to stock, will my phone be functional again? Or do i need to flash "bumped TWRP"
what is "bumped TWRP" ?
Your phone will be functional again if you flash back to stock afterward if you want to flash roms you need to then install bumped TWRP. Bumped TWRP is a special version of TWRP that has been patched to make it possible to use on variants of the g3 with locked bootloaders like yours, by tricking the phone into thinking it is booting stock recovery. This will allow you to flash Roms and kernals that have been "bumped" and apply mods like you would normally be able to with TWRP. Bump is basically a bootloader unlock for your phone that let's you flash roms, kernals, and Recovery's.

You do not need to bumped TWRP unless you want to, you need to use the LG flash tool to reset your phone here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190 and check the index linked above to find the .kdz for the tool

You need to download the correct .kdz file for your variant. The .kdz is the complete stock firmware from LG. Also, if you really have an AT&T LG G3 (D850) it is a 32gb not 16gb version. If your phone only has 16gb of storage then you do not have a D850 and you need to go to your software information in the phone to verify what model you have. Do not flash anything for another variant as you see where that leads. Check back and let me know when you find out for sure which variant you have and I will point you to a specific thread for your device with step by step instructions on how to use the .kdz method to return to stock, then flash a Bump'd TWRP recovery so you can make a nandroid backup and save yourself from this mess again. I am also unsure if the .kdz restore method can be done on Mac, but I'm pretty sure it cannot be done considering the program provided is a Windows executable. Best of luck.

I'm unable to get into my phone so I can't see what variant i have, but i do know that i have a 16gb on ATT.
I do have a windows laptop so i will attempt this on my laptop. Thank you so much for your help. I'll await your response.
All US Carriers for the LG G3 are 32gb models.

I cannot point you in the right direction without having an exact model variant number. You obviously don't have a D850, but there are a few 16gb variants out there. I would hate to be the cause of you further bricking your phone. If you can dig through your information from the retailer you bought the phone from and give me an exact model, then I can help you without worrying about screwing you worse than you're already screwed.

The model number is listed on the IMEI sticker that's underneath the battery. My model says VS-985W since I have a white Verizon G3. Yours should say some model that starts with a D. This same number should also be plastered in multiple locations along the inside edge of the phone once the battery cover is removed.

Ok, so the white sticker underneath my battery says LG-D850. There's also some D850 small white markings on the body of the phone.
The sticker on the box that my phone came in says "SW Ver D85010d"

Can you post a screenshot or two of your Storage page? The D850 is the AT&T model but they only come in a 32gb ROM / 3gb Ram storage option. All U.S. variants are of this variety and you should have access to 32gb of internal storage.

That link has everything you need to restore any variant back to stock. From there, you can root and Bump it if you want. Just download the KDZ from the link given in the OP of that thread. Make sure it says its for the D850 and try to find the earliest version possible if there are multiple options (eg. 10b instead of 10d if possible).

Ok so I clicked on the Firmware files link http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=X...+G3/Stock/ in the OP.
I then clicked on the very top folder which is ATT D850 folder. In that file, there's 3 different files. Do i need to download all these files?

I managed to break my XT1676 also, couldn't find the NPPS25.137-15-11 image either.
I ended up flashing NPP25.137-33 using RSDLite but modifying the flashing script to not flash the partition layout or the bootloader as they are older versions and got it back up and running. If you had that image on the phone previously and you have an unlocked bootloader you can do the same.
Let me know if you need more instructions.
Cheers.
Thank you for replying, raiamino.
I'd like to ask if is there any other option especially for phones with locked bootloader? I'd like to reflash my phone because it became unbelievably slow and laggy after some time. Factory reset didn't help much.
I flashed a lot of phones in the past (for example Sony Ericsson Xperia X8, Lenovo S60...) but this phone really surprises me about flashing. I found a lot of custom ROMs here on xda and I was thinking about flashing some also, but I'm a little bit scared of it - I don't know, which one is compatible and which isn't (nowhere is written if is custom ROM built for 2/16, 3/16, SingleSIM, DualSIM... variant). I need Moto Gestures feature (really useful thing for me) also, but don't know, if any custom ROM supports it. Do you know about any which will not cause brick (or hard brick) if I will flash it? Thx in advance.
Btw, sorry for bad English, but it's not my native language. Greetings from little big country - Slovakia.

you can do the following - warning it will erase everything on internal storage including photos music downloads documents etc - backup to sd card or laptop first if you want to keep these things
put phone into fastboot mode and connect to laptop
In a terminal/command prompt window assuming you have fastboot installed type the following
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
When you restart your phone it will be like the first time you switched it on (albeit with upgraded firmware version)
LineageOS supports moto gestures - For me they all work except shake to open camera app but you can set it to open with a double press of the power button
Flashing a custom rom designed for your phone will not hard brick it as it will never touch the bootloader so you will always be able to enter fastboot mode
Of course you can soft brick which means it either bootloops or you cant access recovery if you don't follow the correct process but you can solve that just by repeating the process correctly
All right, I will give it a try at evening (not enough time right now). So If I will do the fastboot command...
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
...what will happen? Is it the same procedure as factory reset + wipe cache?

yes but it also wipes everything on internal storage data partition
A reset + wipe cache will format data but not user data (things that are stored on internal storage such as pictures music documents downloads)
It does not format system or anything else
Thank you, it helped a lot! :highfive:
EDIT: what's difference between erase and format in fastboot? Would something bad happen if i do format command instead of erase?

Iv no idea - it will either give an error unknown command or do something
erase userdata is the correct use
Hello,
I have the same phone and like to download the stock rom first before flashing a custom one (RR e.g.). I can't find anywhere a download for this version's custom rom yet. Is there any way to save the stock rom out of the still unmodified phone?
Thanks for your help!
Bro.. check this.. npps is for xt 1676 ( Europe, Turkey ) and npp is for xt 1677 ( India) . Both are dual sim 3gb version phones.. just may be customization difference. Hopefully all modem bands may work.
Npps or xt 1676 unfortunately dont have version above 25.137-15 ( which is an older firmware from what u have ) , so never flash it.
But npp have higher version 72/76/82.
Just in case u are not confident enough avoid gpt, and bootloader flashing.
Btw.. if you have messed up ur bootloader ( cant boot into fastboot) .. i think give these files a try.. btw.. you have nothing to loose since u have messed up pretty bad with bootloader.
This is the only last try till Oreo upadate ( if moto ever release it for g5)
Btw.. if u get successful.. please share.
https://www.clangsm.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=482933
---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------
And if u are worried about modem ( which may cause wifi /signal issue) avoid flashing modem or try flashing old modem from npps25.137-15 ( the file is available in same directory) you can use the modem file only for flashing )
I mean.. first flash the complete npp25.137-76 ( i choose that file because its non branded ) .. after successful boot, check wifi and sim.
If everything is ok.. use the same..
If you have problems with wifi or sim..
Use modem file from npps 25.137-15 and flash modem partion only.
Or completely avoid all trial and error methods. And just flash npp25-137-76 with out flashing modem , bootloader, gpt, - its just like flashing a new kernel and system.. everything except system and kernel will remanin the same.
The method works only if u have a working bootloader. If its not there.. there is no way to trial and error things.. till u courageously flash the bootloader and gpt from npp version..
Hope you will get something.

Currently.. my xt1676 is working with August security update ( npps - 25.137-72-4 ) rooted, unlocked.. i am trying hard to mess it up.. unfortunately twrp backup helps me to unbrick few times!! But soon or later i will manage to mess it up!!!???
Only then i will give these files a try... ( Or atlest till pixel 2 comes to retailer near by) . For now this is my backup phone after selling s7 edge.
This is just 2 weeks old.. and i manage to mess its os 5-6 times till now.. so i think i will be joining your club soon
Just the same phone as yours..2 weeks old.. but its alive till now.

Hi. Sorry for bumping an old thread but I thought it was better then to make a new one.
I bought this phone a few days ago and it had NPPS25.137-72-4 when delivered. Been trying to read up a bit on this device but since I'm used to samsung, it all takes a while to figure things out
Got it unlocked/rooted fine, but I want to make sure I have something to fall back on in case of trouble.
I've been searching for this fw without any luck. Any chance some one got it and can share it?
NPPS25.137-72-4
Or if anyone can suggest a different one that could work. ( I don't really understand the fw names yet)
Thanks in advance.

There's no flash able zips of stock ROMs here unfortunately. Weird for me too since I was Samsung through and through. Take a back up of your own ROM via TWRP or you can use the debloated stock ROM by Fedray on the ROM forum.

Thanks for your answers.Thats actualy first thing I did after flashing twrp to have a clean backup of system and boot.
I also made a few partition backups in terminal, like persist, oem, modem and a few others so hopefully I'm fine.
Do you guys know if I can take stock recovery from lower version fw in case I would ever need it again?
I highly doubt I ever will, but just in case
Edit: If anyone needs a system/boot backup of this fw, just let me know and I'll upload it.

I flashed the Sprint firmware and had data working on my XT1766 after it got it's carrier update, the Sprint firmware does not soft brick the phone as I flashed it and can confirm it doesn't soft brick it, so you are incorrect in saying that.
I'm not sure if I did something wrong but after trying this, my phone kept saying, "phone stopped working". I had backed up my phone so I restored it. Any ideas on what might have happened?

Oh, I never tried this method. I used rsd lite to flash the firmware (the one op says will brick you, it didn't by the way). After flashing new firmware I restored only data, nothing system or boot related, and have had no issues.

Keep in mind I have the virgin mobile version (sprint xt1766). Don't know which one you have. Some have had trouble with rsdlite on Windows 10, it worked fine for me though.
I used rsdlite from here
The newest one, 6.2.4 I think
Apn Xt1766
I just want to add apn and want to use hot spot again
As the phone is updated on latest build ..
I don't want the root access..
What's should I try then from previous build , can anyone

The steps are there. Just don't use the root part if you don't want root. Once you switch the files, flash the service file.xml with rsdlite.

I've tested it.. It worked for me but there is an issue
With this method occurred as well..
While Turing on the phone " BAD KEY" msg pops up on

That's normal if you unlock the bootloader. Flash the no verity opt encrypt, or magisk, and it will change from bad key to n/a. But there will always be a message if you unlock the bootloader.
I know you said you don't need root, so that bad key message is there to stay.

N/A will be there. But you can flash a new boot logo to kinda hide it. Instead of a black screen, any logo you want, maybe with a white strip at the top to hide it. I'll get you a link.

TWRP IS ALREADY ISTALLED ON THE PHONE AS I AM FLASHING LOGOS..
WHAT SHOULD I INSTALLED TO GET ROOT ACCESS ..
SUPER USER ETC.. PLZ SHARE WITH ME..
and the main reason to have the root access is, I want to block or disable OTA update ..
Plz confirm, how will it be possible ..as I downgraded to get working APN But phone updated again now.
I want the phone to be stopped from being updated..

Just don't accept the update. You can root by flashing magisk. You will still receive update notification. You'll need to disable the moto update app. I forget which one exactly. But your phone shouldn't be able to do ota updates once you are rooted with twrp installed. The update will fail.
here is the root thread.

Thank you. I wish I had known this. I had to flash the stock recovery, etc for the updates to work. A little bit of an unnecessary hastle.

Ota updates will likely always fail if you have twrp, or have modified the system in any way. The ota performs many checks (assert props) to see if the system is clean. If any asserts fail, the ota will fail. Even restoring the stock recovery doesn't guarantee the ota will work.
So i kinda ****ed up on trying to install a custom rom, dint make a backup and had wrong bootloader for the rom i had planned. After trying different things to fix it. it went from bad to worse ( i think) and now im stuck in the fastboot menu. TWRP cannot boot up, it has error messages but it go's away fast so i cant see them.
Can i still recover my phone?

https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...ock-images-t3736767/post75236696#post75236696
I did one a couple days ago with an old A to micro cable and a cheap ($3 for 5) Micro female to C male adapter that I got on ebay. Worked fine. Other than that I have no ideas. Sorry. I understand there may be some need to have cables with 56K ohm resisters if used for charging, but I don't have any of those yet - still using old stuff.

So i managed to get it to connect with a different cable (yeay), but i was wondering how much the stock rom version affects stuff? since there seem to be of stock roms to choose from. after ****ing it up i dont want to do that again.
moto z play
product/variant: addison xt1635-02 32gb p7
bootloader: c0.14 (sha-9325e5f, 2016-07-11)
Would anyone be able to give any pointers to what specific one i need?

Yay!!! cable!!! Who would have guessed!! Thanks @okaban !!!
Which one you choose depends mostly on which country or area you are in because flashing one from another country will mess things up (wrong radio frequencies). Then choose the latest one - never one earlier than where you were at. So what country/area are you in? and I'll try to help you choose.

Lots of questions for you to answer in here so read till end before start!
Okay. We need an expert (someone in Netherlands who has done it!!!)
I was thinking you were reteu and this post would agree
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72013707&postcount=126
though not totally certain.
The only rom I see for reteu is 24-104-25 which if you d/l and expand it (which I did) is 6.0.1 .
- - - - -
I didn't ask - are you able to boot to stock now?
- - - - - - -
Back to first post, you say you got error messages from twrp when you tried to flash a custom ROM. This would be typical if you were still on 6.x bootloader. and trying to flash a custom 8.x ROM.
So:
1) Had you ever updated stock (ota) to nougat?
2) did you go to motorola and unlock bootloader?
if no to update and yes to unlock, let's take @mijing 's idea and reflash TWRP, though I am going to suggest you go back in time a bit and flash this one:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120744582
That one will work for flashing 7.x custom ROMs and is the one I am using at the moment. It will not deal with 8.x custom ROMs but we can easily deal with that later.
To flash TWRP:
boot to fastboot on phone
connect via (good ) cable
On PC in terminal
To temporarily boot this recovery: (substitute actual name of TWRP you downloaded)
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Don't reboot:
use vol up/dn to step to recovery and press power and see if it in fact boots to TWRP.
If it does, then boot back to bootloader and
To permanently flash it: again substitute correct name of img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
If that works that should get you going for flashing 7.x custom ROMs,
though if you want stock you would have to take a CHANCE and RSD that one above. If that works you would still have to flash TWRP. It would NOT affect your bootloader-unlock status.

You're welcome! and thanks to @mijing !!!!!!
Wow - we got much further than I thought! Good work!!!
No, I believe you have a MM B/L,
The problem with the 7.x bootloader mod is that once you apply it I believe you can never RSD lite back to 6.0.1 or you will brick your phone and need to send it to Moto for blankflash. Course you may decide that's a moot point.
I don't know if LinOS 14 (7.x) needs a 7.x bootloader - I think I was wrong - I think it may indeed. LinOS 14 should be a good one for you to play with and should flash fine with that TWRP. I also highly recommend
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/development/rom-aospextended-rom-v4-6-amulyax-t3735010

Both those should flash fine with the Deh TWRP you have on.

There is a roll-back ROM on firmware finder. As long as it shows your IMEI as approoved, it should install.
That's the nice clean way.
There is a dirty ( possibly dangerous way ) by using the nougat service ROM. That ROM is for bnd-L21, so not sure how an unlocked bootloader will handle it. It has worked on unlocked before.

I have been attempting to use firmware finder but I can't wrap my head around actually pushing the update. I heard you need an outdated version of hisuite but no one specifies what version. Any help is appreciated =)

Insttall firmware finder from playstore.
In the app select the "hamburger" menu, from top left corner. Select instructions. Either watch videos, or read the text guides

The mobile app as far as I can tell doesn't work on newer versions of android. They even have a disclaimer mentioning that the app only works for older devices now.

You are not on 8.1, the app can work.
But I was only referencing the app for the guides linked inside.
You should be able to use it to flash b330. Which should work in DC

My bad I am on 8.0 to be specific bnd-l34 8.0.0.341(c567) and as much as I've tried I can not get it to work on the phone following along on the videos. They are using the app on emui 5.0 not 8.0. It doesn't work anymore on 8.0
All there videos revolve around emui 5.0 or lower. It stopped working with 8.0

Because the locked bootloader, you can only use the firmwares that are approoved.
Chances are , the only one that's approoved is the b330
And if not , then only option is the service-rom. Followed by dc-unlock, then the hwota and correct ROM
It has been done.
There should be confirmation back in the mate thread somewhere.

I'm searching. I know i have recommended this process many times, and got many success responses. But I am striking out in finding threads with confirmed responses.
This search only shows 4 found matches for the search info. One does fit real good, but the author has made it sound , not real credible.

This post you made here sounds doable.
This service rom so far has been only thing we found that will load with three button method (dload)
But it is not a full rom to keep on device. It needs you to follow up with flashing fullOTA of your correct version after.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid...83647474828964
1. Unzip download
2. copy the dload folder to root of sdcard
3. power on phone holding all three buttons
4. After phone finishes and reboots, unlock frp and bootloader, if needed
5. Use Huru or HWOTA to flash correct firmware for your model/ region.
Enlighten me what is huru or hwota? If I were to flash this does it boot up into android or is it non functional?

Yes, this should leave you able to boot. And with build level that should allow DC unlocked to give you the code.
Remember like I said before this is kind of a dirty way around and 'could' have issues unknown. Like what if DC does not give you a code, you would then be stuck . (Though you are stuck now)
Huru and hwota are very similar. They both use TWRP to give custom flashing control.
Hwota uses modified stock recovery to flash full ota files.
Huru repacks full ota files so that TWRP can flash them.
Since doth start with TWRP , bootloader unlock is needed.

Just spent most of the morning going back and forth with someone else with mate see, and they just did restored his device with the service ROM.
I do not now what he was restoring from, but he ended up with "unknown model" and default build number of 8.0.0.46
This is because of (probably) some data corrupt issue making the flash go bad. But he was able to run the ROM and unlock boooader.
Difference is he already had his unlock code.

Have you seen this guide?
It is for "official" hisuite roll-back
I have not rolled back so do not know it it works though.(I checked with my device, it shows no downgrade available)
I know the roll-back firmwarm listed on firmware finder was listed as "bond" and not "bnd". So this means not available "officially"
