Hi,
I purchased the phone in the UK from the network carrier Vodafone. I have done a fair bit of research on the rooting and unrooting process mainly via videos and reading tutorials on XDA.
I would like to root the phone and gain super user access and install some Xposed modules but would also like to be able to unroot and flash back to a stock Vodafone firmware encase I need to claim under warranty. I have been trolling the internet to get the correct KDZ file and found this site (ttp://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/country.php?country=United+Kingdom). I believe that the correct firmware may be on here but am a little confused on what the suffix and software version means to be honest.
The reason for my confusion is that I updated the firmware to 6.0 Marshmallow through the LG bridge but when I now check my phones software version it states v20b-234-15. I assume this is right but from memory the first software version when I got the phone was something like H81510B_00.
I cant remember exactly what it was before unfortunately but the KDZ files I have found state H81510C_00 (Suffix - AVDFVK) and H81510C_00 (AVDFLR) and this does seem to make sense but I'm thinking it was B instead of C but and not 100% on that.
Do you think these KDZ files would be the correct one to flash back to encase I run in to some problems rooting?
I am also assuming that this KDZ is Android Lollipop and not Marshmallow so is it OK to use this to revert back from Marshmallow?
Thanks and any help would be much appreciated.

The 10X version are all Lollipop, 20X is marshmallow.
When flashing a KDZ on your phone, what's important is what model your phone is. H815 in your case.
If you want to restore to stock in case something goes wrong, you can find everything here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848
In there is a link to this directory: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G4/ where you find pretty much all KDZ files for G4 phones.
I'm not that experienced myself, but I rooted my phone just recently and I can share my experience with you.
I have a H815. It was a V10c-TWN-XX version (Taiwan). I updated to Marshmallow with LG Bridge also and the new software version was V20b-TWN-XX.
Marshmallow rooting is not possible on my phone because I can't unlock the bootloader on it. And Marshmallow rooting is only possible with an unlocked bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader is only possible on European phones (http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryTypeCode=ANRS). I asked autoprime (renown user and developer here) if I can unlock bootloader after flashing an European KDZ on it. He said no, having European software on it is not enough, it has to be a phone manufactured for the european market. Dont know why, guess because of different hardware.
So, not being able to root MM, I had to revert back to stock (downgrade) using one of the KDZs.
I chose the most recent one in the directory I linked (which is the Poland H81510E). In the "Go Back to Stock" thread I linked the OP says to use LG Flash Tool 2014, which unfortunately doesn't work with Marshmallow. But fret not, it works with LG UP! http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
When I tried flashing the KDZ with Flash Tool 2014, the process failed with an error at 5%. It worked flawlessly with LG UP. Here's more information regarding downgrading, but it really isnt hard. Just download + install LG UP. Launch it. Connect your phone. Choose KDZ file. Select option "upgrade". Hit start.
NOTE: after the firmware update was done, the phone rebooted automatically and for me it stuck at at the LG Logo (bootloop). But a simple hard factory reset did it, the phone booted and my new version was 10e-something. With Lollipop 5.1 of course.
After that, I rooted my phone using this pre-rooted image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/h815-eu-l-p-t-sea-twn-t3176195
and this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/...-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765/
I now have a "H81510e-EUR-XX" Lollipop 5.1 with root (SuperSU 2.49).
I don't really know about Vodafone and if carrier specific firmware is necessary in this case. If not, you could use any 815 firmware.
From the site you have linked with the KDZ files..... it seems they are all the same.
If you check the table for H815 KDZs from Vodafone, there are some 10C and 10D versions. Now I compared the fileKey parameter in the URL to the 10C files and the 10D files and also the bytes of the files.
All the 10C version are identical to each other, same for 10D.
Check out this screenshot I made for you: http://i.imgur.com/Ie0w4us.png
Bytes are also identical, so it's pretty safe to say those are the same files.
Dont know why they are listed several times there. The suffix doesnt matter.
I'd grab a 10D if I were you. But I think the Poland 10E should work, too. Better confirm it with somebody else though.
If you flash your system to 10e, you can use the pre-rooted image I used. Otherwise you will have to inject root yourself: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586. In this method you create an image of your system and inject root into the image, which you then flash back on your phone.
I have the 22a kdz, but the software I've downloaded to flash it onto the vk815 isn't working. Would someone please point me to valid files for downloading? I tried the apps to SD hack, and that makes my software modified. That didn't seem to work, and maybe why the 23a update still gives me unexpected SD ejection. I want a clean pure install. I'm not concerned about root.
Hi.
First, are you using the original USB cable with a USB 2.0 port that comes directly off your Windows PC's motherboard - not a USB 3.x port and not through a USB hub?
Installed the latest VK815 drivers from LG's website? Reboot the PC after while the device is disconnected from it.
Once you put the device in Download mode, check in Windows' Device Manager in the Port section to see if the device is listed "LGE...". Until it is, any attempts to flash a KDZ or TOT will be futile. It can take up to 5-10 minutes to load the driver you installed, and USB works by loading the driver separately for each different USB port you plug the same device into.
If you Google:
Code:
XDA LG Flash Tool 2014
you'll find it. If that's exactly what you're using and it's not working, could you please be more specific about how it's not working? 99% of the time (maybe only 95%) ignore any error dialog that pops up from it, move the error dialogs out of your way if necessary but don't click on any buttons in them, and within 5-10 minutes you'll find your device is flashed. This is true in general for all LG devices.
You should also be able to use the official Verizon-LG software on your tablet, if absolutely needed. When you first plug it into your Windows PC it comes up as "Installer" before it switches to MTP or another mode. Install that from Windows and the official tool will download and install the latest KDZ that's released (23A? - I have the VK810 so not sure what latest VK815 releases are). The difference between the official tool and LG Flash Tool 2014 is the official tool downloads the newest KDZ every time you choose to upgrade/update with it, and can't make use a pre-downloaded KDZ, and then deletes the KDZ when it's done flashing although if you're fast enough you can copy it elsewhere while it's flashing so you have it handy. It's the easiest way to get the latest KDZ for any LG device on Verizon these days, when it's not available any other way yet.
When you flash with LG Flash Tool 2014, use the CSE option which will wipe everything including user apps, user data and internal storage.
Lastly, if you return to stock and the problem persists and it's still under warranty, LG has excellent warranty service.
Thanks! It all seems like I was doing everything right. I'll give it another go as you've directed, to be sure. It was my understanding that perhaps when it updated to Marshmallow, the flash function was deactivated? Maybe that was just for installing images and not flashing firmware.
Yep, fails to connect. Trying to install the LG UP CY dll for vk815, getting an Error 2356. Bummer.
Crap, just lost everything I just typed.
You verified the tablet shows up in Device Manager while it's in Download mode?
You were trying both LG Flash Tool 2014 and LGUp or just LGUp? LGUp doesn't work with all devices (not the VS985 Verizon G3, and I don't think my VK810 Verizon G Pad 8.3).
On the VS985, when 35B Lollipop 5.1.1 came out, we could no longer flash older than the 35B KDZ. We could only downgrade from 100% stock on 35B and higher by using our 10B TOT along with the .DLL that's extracted from the 35B KDZ. I don't know if you can get your hands on a TOT for the VK815, they're rarer than KDZs and usually have to be leaked by someone on the inside, I think.
Also, sometimes a different Windows PC makes the difference.
Yep, turns up OK. It starts to connect in LG UP, but fails after a few seconds. The specific driver also fails to completely install.

I don't know if LGUp works with the VK815. It doesn't work with the VS985. Good you Google for and try the LG Flash Tool 2014 I had mentioned?
There's a driver packet for the vk815, but it wasn't compiled right, or something, and fails to install. I may have a shot if a clean version can be found. Flash tool 2014 is reported to not work after Marshmallow is installed. That is true.

If LG Flash Tool 2014 can't flash your older KDZ while you're on Marshmallow, then LGUp won't be able to, either, as far as I know. LGUp doesn't get around stock bootloader and laf (Download mode) limitations.
Is there a TOT for the VK815? That and using the newer .DLL that comes inside the latest stock KDZ is the only way to downgrade from Lollipop 5.1.1 and Marshmallow on the VS985.

I suspect the new dll pack is for LG UP, because Mm update 'closed out' the old flashers.
Shoot! I just realized you may be thinking I want to downgrade. Nope, only wanna clean install of Mm, as mine currently reads as 'modified'.
The other day, I was messing around and got into recovery where there is an option for debug mode! Gonna have to try that to see if anyone will see the tablet. Not sure, but it may be feasible to push the system image via ADB?
Update: debugging mode yielded no change. Guess I'll just have to wait until either Verizon or LG gets their thumb out their ass and develop a better driver file for the LG G Pad X 8.3.
im looking for the same thing, trying to get my vk815 back to stock, its currently rooted on lollipop. the only kdz files i could find are MM but flash tool wont flash them, if i could find an older lollipop kdz i think it would work.
I recently found/installed new drivers/programs, but haven't bothered with them. My tablet still has the mysterious sd ejection bug, despite the latest update.

so did you figure out how to flash a kdz file with the vk815 tablet? if so which flash tool and files were you using, if possible could you please share a link? I have both LGFlashTool2014 as well as LGUP, but the only kdz files I have are all marshmallow, and I could not find a dll file to use LGUP for the vk815.
I played stupid and sent my tablet back to LG to have them reflash official firmware. I haven't messed with it since.
Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
hmm well, i sure hope I dont have to send it back to LG, the root method I used was posted by player911, he also posted a method to unroot, but the KDZ files are no longer on the internet.
Hello, I'd like to ask for advice. I have no experience with LG G4.
I have LG-H815 with FW h81510h and I would like to upgrade to MM (v20). Unfortunately, when upgrading to LG Bridge, I'm repeatedly having an installation error. When using LGUP, the message will be displayed:
tot anti rollback version is smaller than device version
Unfortunately, the installation does not start and the device restarts, I tried several KDZ versions and the problem still the same.
thank you for your advice

Your anti-rollback version is preventing you from downgrading/upgrading to any version that has a lower roll-back version. Unless you can find a downgrade/upgrade version with the same anti-rollback version as the firmware you have currently installed, you are out of luck for now. You are lucky you used LGUP-NEW to downgrade/upgrade as it throws up the error that you are making in trying to downgrade/upgrade. Do not proceed with any other flash tool(e.g., LG Flash-tool 2014) for now as you will brick your device as they do not throw up the error.
Check out steadfasterX's thread re: SALT and wait until it's completed and able to flash - you may be able to use it.

So I've just recovered my phone from my 1st attempt at updating to Pie on my unlocked AT&T v35.
But I'm left wondering if the process for updating from Oreo to Pie is somehow different than when I successfully updated from Marshmallow to Oreo.
The process I thought was:
1. Put phone in download mode
2. Connect phone to pc
3. Run the Modified version of LGUP
4. Select your ULM KDZ choice (any of the three will do)
5. Select Upgrade
6. Flash phone
Are any of these steps incorrect and should step 5 be Refurbish instead of Upgrade?

I used upgrade, when going from ULM 8.0 to ULM 9.0. I would assume you would use refurbish if going from stock to another firmware. Of course assumptions aren't really reliable.
I've been trying to figure out if I should do UPGRADE or REFURBISH as well.
I found this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/how-to/guide-how-to-upgrade-downgrade-restore-t3738917
Says REFURBISH wipes user data, UPGRADE does not. If moving from one image say from AT&T, to the Unlocked firmware I'd assume you want REFURBISH.
So since I used refurbish to go to the ulm software from 7 to 8, do I still need to refurbish going to any of the ulm pie variants?

That's what threw me for a loop on my first attempt. Since I'd successfully upgrade from the AT&T 7.0 firmware to I believe the Amazon 8.0 ULM firmware without issues, I thought the process would be the same going to 9.0. But I ran the upgrade through LGUP which was the modified version, and it crashed at 74% and sent me down a wonderful rabbits hole of brickage.

I don't understand how were you on Marshmallow before flashing to Oreo. I'm pretty sure the the V35 launched on Oreo 8.0. But I'm also looking for a way to get from Oreo to Pie on ULM kdz.
I went from AWM12k to ULM10i choosing REFURB and all went well (I followed xatokk's post on the lgV35 subreddit).
When I try to get from ULM10i to ULM20d (Pie .kdz) I guess I only have to drag ULM20d kdz in LGUP window?
I just want to make sure that's not how you bricked your phone before I try REFURB from ULM10i to ULM20d
Any advice would help, I'm a noob at this.
FWIW, partition DL worked fine going first from AT&T firmware to Oreo ULM and then again to Pie. Sadly I had to set up the phone again.

Sorry, Brainfart, I was completely out to lunch on that. I wanted to flash the latest available security update, but since I'm in Canada I could never get that from AT&T so I had to find a way to flash it and that led me to XDA and the whole LGUP process. So you were correct on that, and I did flash the Amazon 8.0 KDZ I believe without issue.
My brick happened when using the Amazon pie KDZ and using the same Upgrade process in LGUP. The update got to 74% and then crashed. I then tried to run the refurbish option but that crashed as well so by that time, my phone was beyond my knowledge of how to fix it

Partition DL was not available in the process list of the modded version of LGUP I used. Which one did you use? I think I found the right one.
Now, selecting PARTITION DL, do I need to select all like mentioned in the Frankenstein Phone thread for the V30?

This phone launched with Oreo and had nothing prior. He's mistaken, confusing some other model.
That's what I did.
The error you experience may be due to a usb cable. a particular usb port on your computer, other software on your computer, and maybe bios settings. The v30 WTF and Frankenphone forums would be good places for background and solutions.
Fingers crossed for a successful flash.

Here's what I did if you don't already found a way. I also faced an error trying to flash to Pie ULM.kdz.
I don't know why but LGUP for developer patched from 9to5lg.com didn't work for me. I tried PARTITION DL it crashed at 91% and I also had to reboot my PC. I kept the phone plugged and reinstalled LGUP.
My V35 was on AWM12k when I got it. I followed xatokk's post on the lgV35 subreddit to get it to to ULM10i choosing REFURB.
I kept the same .dll I extracted from to ULM10i and I did a REFURB to ULM20d .kdz just dragging it to LGUP.
I hope this can help you.
To update my earlier reply on this topic. Somehow flashing REFURBISH from AT&T stock Oreo to ULM(Unlocked) Pie it failed and bricked my phone. As mentioned in another thread regarding unlocking the bootloader and root, I had to call on @motogvasyag to not only unbrick my phone remotely but he also unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. If anyone has any issues with bricking you might want to contact him. He's fast and does amazing work. I only mention this because I am very appreciative of him and his work. I'm not sure why my flashing failed at around 70 something percent but I'm glad to have my phone working again along with the update to pie and root.

@motogvasyag unbricked my AT&T V35 that was stuck in fastboot from a failed flash. Took care of it right away. Phone is now factory LG on Google Fi, Pie, wifi calling and all three carriers. Highly recommended!
I have LG G8 Alexa variant. Model LM-G820QM.
I think ts on latest firmware "qm21e". Right now I live in India so the VoLTE is not working. I tried to cross-flash it to Open firmware but LGUP gave error "Cant change the device(AMZ_US > OPEN_US)".
I have three questions.
Can I cross flash Korean firmware ?
And if so, will i get VoLTE working ?
And my G8 has 2 cams while the Korean varient has 3 cams. Will my cams work with Korean firmware ?
Thank you.
Do you by any chance still have the OPEN_US Firmware?
I've been looking everywhere for it but I can't find it.

Thanks for your reply
Unfortunately, neither one worked.
I tried the first one, however the flash tool didn't work because (OPEN_US_>NAO_US)
The second one would not download at all. I don't think it would have worked anyway since my phone is not the Alexa version. It's factory unlocked, purchased from Best Buy.
Hey man, I was able to figure out my problem! Not only that, I discovered one of the NAO_US Firmwares was actually OPEN_US, and that worked for my phone. I am now back up and running, with an unlocked bootloader and Root!
I appreciate your help, and I want to help you if I can.
As for the cross-flashing, you can't do it via LGUP. The only possible way is to download the firehose for your phone and to use the Qualcomm Image Flash Loader(QIFL) tool. You can extract the firmware you want to flash, and load all the images into the QIFL partition manager. There is no guarantee your phone will boot from it, but you can try it. NOTE: Do NOT modify the OP partitions! This will cause your phone to throw an OPID mismatch error and it won't boot!
As for the cameras, you may be able to extract the current Camera APK from your phone and install that on the Korean firmware so that you are still able to use them. No guarantee this will work, and they might work fine with the Korean camera APK, but it's worth doing before you flash.

I see, but I just want VoLTE to work. I don't mind using stock rom or custom rom too. So keeping that in mind what do you suggest? And also, Do you think that your solution " I discovered one of the NAO_US Firmwares was actually OPEN_US, and that worked for my phone. I am now back up and running, with an unlocked bootloader and Root! " could work for me too ? If so do let me know how did you figured that NAO_US was actually OPEN_US. Maybe I can find out one for AMZ_US.
On the box Model : G820QM
SKU : G820QM8 (QM8 stands for AMZ)
Thank you.
I'm really not sure how VoLTE works internally, so I couldn't tell you if using another firmware would actually work for you - but the way I found out one of the firmwares was actually OPEN_US was by extracting it using the KMZ extractor tool someone made. This is how I was able to reflash the partition on my phone that I screwed up on in the first place and created a brick with. Like I said, you could manually reflash all those partitions one-by-one in QFIL, but i don't recommend it as it may not even work and could potentially brick your device. It's really up to you in this case, if you'd like to try though:
Download the firmware you want to try, search for KZM extractor on Google, download QFIL and all of it's prerequisites, and finally the firehose.
Use the KZM extractor and place the firmware inside of it.
Once it is done extracting all the files, put your phone into download mode and open QFIL
NOTE: DO NOT FLASH THE PARTITIONS WITH 'OP' IN THEM! Your phone won't boot for sure!
From QFIL use the firehose file and manually, one by one, sort through the output files of the KZM extractor and find the partitions that match their name and flash them with the file.
Zero guarantees this will work, and you may end up with a brick for a phone at the end of the day, but if you're that desperate it just might work.
Hi there.
I am still looking for solutions for VoLTE to work. I googled a lot and came on this post " https://piunikaweb.com/2021/06/07/unlocked-lg-g8-thinq-now-supports-att-volte-after-april-update/ "
Mine is Amazon version "QM8". Yet I did received april update via OTA. But still no VoLTE. I can OEM unlock from devs. Can I flash AT&T "QM7" on Amazon "QM8" ?
What do you think of this please let me know.
Thank you
VoLTE seems to depend on files in the OP partition, so crossflashing other partitions but not OP will not get VoLTE to work. LGUP will not allow crossflashing.
See my experience to get working VoLTE and Wifi Calling: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/lg-g8-volte-fix.4113291/post-85455109
You will need to be bootloader unlocked and rooted.
