New KDZ Method for LG G4 with MM
This is the NEW KDZ Method for the LG G4!!! Thanks to @shakeyabooti !!
shakeyabooti said:
NEW software!!!!!...... LGUP WILL FLASH YOUR KDZ files
Download LGUP fromor here http://oceanhost.eu/eps4h4pmwphu/LGUP.zip.htm thank you hyelton for this link :good:
Install LGUP_8994_DLL_Ver_0_0_3_23 first and then LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3
Make sure you have downloaded the required KDZ file MM or LP
Start LGUP prog on your computer "make sure your phone is plugged in"
If you have a problem that LGUP does not see your LG G4, leave your mobile connected via USB and leave LGUP running, restart your mobile, hopefully this will solve the problem.
TO UPGRADE TO MM from LP - make sure BIN file is ticked and in the File Path point it towards the MM KDZ you have downloaded. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CLICKED UPGRADE! This will update you from LP to MM with out wiping any of your info. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient
TO DO A FULL WIPE AND INSTALL MM - Open the LGUP on your computer. FILE PATH point it towards the MM KDZ.
IMPORTANT!!!!!!! shut down LGUP!
Now open LGUP again - you will notice that the MM KDZ will still be showing in the FILE PATH section. Select REFURBISH and make sure BIN file is ticked. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient
TO GO BACK TO LP FROM MM - Open LGUP on your computer, click on FILE PATH and point it towards your LP KDZ. Close LGUP and re-open LGUP. Make sure you select REFURBISH this will do a full wipe, tick BIN file. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient
If you are worried about losing your data after a full wipe, why not use the LG Bridge software to backup and restore.... it works fine!
YOU WILL LOSE ROOT!
There is no need to enter download mode! LGUP will do it for you.

Thank You schafi03
Some handy ADB and Fastboot comands because I've been asked so many times, make sure you have ADB and Fastboot installed ofc lol
I always put TWRP in the ADB folder - so if I want to boot into TWRP with out installing it this is what I do:
make sure you open a command prompt in the ADB folder "VERY IMPORTANT" and type:
adb reboot bootloader <enter>
fastboot boot TWRP.img <whatever your TWRP image is called in your ADB folder><enter> dont forget the .img at the end
That will re-start your phone straight into TWRP - copy files to and from your mobile, install root etc etc......
If you want to install TWRP permanently, copy your TWRP image to your mobile "while you are in TWRP RECOVERY mode" then press install then select images then select recovery NOT BOOT then swipe to flash. This method does not install TWRP app on your phone, all you need is a reboot app from the play store that will re-boot you into recovery.
I hope I have covered most things that I have been asked, don't forget to search the thread for answers before asking, if you can't see something you are concerned about or are having trouble with a certain part don't be afraid to ask no matter how dumb you think it sounds, we all could do with some guidance at some time. Have fun everyone! :good:

FAQ:
KDZ Method - Network connection error is normal, Just move over that Window.
T-Mobile (H811) Version cannot be downgraded
Currently you cannot downgrade from Android 6.0
AT&T H810 TOT & back to stock info!
autoprime said:
Ok... alrighty... so.. AT&T H810 10O is "V2"
H810 10A was V0. then there was 10E and 10G which were V1.
I saw mention of a 10l but I have no idea about that at all. could be V1.. or could be V2. haven't seen the files for that. anyway.. doesn't matter. forget about 10l
H810PR KDZ's were all V1.
basically unless you are on 10A and holding out for a bootloader exploit on V0... this TOT is completely safe to use regardless of what current version you are on. For example, you could be on 10g (V1) and still flash this TOT safely.. it would just increase the qfuse from V1 to V2.
V2 is no more locked down than V1... so there's no worry about losing your current v1 and no need to stay on 10E or 10G. 10A V0 is the only version worth holding onto.
Of course "V3" may come with android M... but too early to say one way or another on that. if M is indeed V3.. then anyone that upgraded to M could no longer flash this TOT. Hopefully the USA carriers knock it off with increasing the qfuse versions tho and it stops at v2. I will edit the previous sentence after Android 6.0 M comes out for H810 to confirm.
H810PR info: If there is an AT&T user who previously flashed H810PR KDZ to unbrick.. they should be safe flashing this 10o TOT if they want to get back into AT&T land.. hopefully fixing their green camera issue. H810PR users who have an original H810PR (not a converted att h810) should NOT use this TOT as it will increase your qfuse from V1 to V2 and you'll be stuck with AT&T software... plus there's just no point in using it since H810PR has official KDZs.
so.. summary. 10o is v2. everyone on an AT&T H810 can flash this safely without fear of bricking.. as there is no higher qfuse version yet. AT&T H810 users who "converted" to H810PR can safely flash the TOT. Original H810PR users should avoid flashing this TOT as they'll get stuck on V2 AT&T software. The only other users who should maybe try not using it are those on 10A V0 who are holding out for bootloader unlock.

Are there any TOT files available? I've bricked my G4 and am hoping to recover using them. I can only have it recognized as qualcomm 9008. It's the EUR H815.

Sadly no TOT`s yet. Did you even try the kdz method?
Yes, I tried. But I am bricked beyond being able to get into download mode. Have to use something like boarddiag to get the partition table and download mode loaded to the device. Unfortunately, boarddiag for G3 doesn't seem to work with G4 (I was up late trying it last night), so I might have to wait a while for new unbrick tools to come out. At least iPhone 8.3 jailbreak came out so I have something to play with

Exactly. I usually download it from my phone when away from my home and then transfer the kdz to my computer at night. They usually take like 2 hours to download. But if you don't want to fix that link, then thats ok too.

Its not simple to edit a large OP with a mobile phone ;p. I have fixed it now. But downloading firmwares using a phone, (unless your using a download manager) is not really recommended.

A WARNING: IN THE EVENT OF A BRICKED DEVICE, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE! YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. KDZ UPDATER WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE IF NOT USED PROPERLY. SO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!!!
So, you want to install custom recovery and custom ROMs? Well, you're in the right place. Follow this guide to it's exact instructions, and you will be fine.
You will need:
A computer running Windows (Sorry Mac & Linux users!)
Your phones USB cable. (If you don't have one, you can see a list of them here on Amazon)
We will need a couple of downloads first, so download these files:
V20C Orange France Fastboot ROM (It doesn't matter that it's Orange France, we are replacing the software anyway, I recommend this one as it fixes some calling issues by flashing a new baseband (or Radio).
KDZ Updater
Also, make sure you have your drivers installed. If you don't, get the .zip from here and install all 3 .exe files that are in the zip.
Now to install the Fastboot ROM!
First of all, extract KDZ Updater to the desktop. Then run the msxml.msi file to install the MSXML Parser that is needed to run KDZ. A window should then pop up that looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
^^Select install now.
But if this comes up:
It is already installed, and you can close the window.
Once that is sorted, open up KDZ_FW_UPD.exe (Windows Vista/7 users, make sure to right click and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR!)
Change the type of flash by selecting the 'Type' dropdown box and select 3GQCT (SUPER IMPORTANT!)
And make sure PhoneMode is set to DIAG.
Click the
icon and select the KDZ file you downloaded earlier.
Prepare the phone by enabling USB Debugging by going to Settings>Applications>Development>Enable USB Debugging, also go into Settings>SDCard & Phone Storage and make sure 'Mass storage only' is unticked. Then connect the phone to the computer via USB cable and let Windows install any drivers it needs.
Click 'Launch software update' and do not use your computer until the update is complete. The update will take roughly 10-20 mins to complete. Your phone should reboot automatically.
Installing recovery:
You have multiple choices to choose from.
ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.8 (Recommended)
ClockworkMod Recovery 4.x (Recommended but you may run into incompatible .zip files, download the recovery_clockwork_x.x.x.x_swift.zip file)
Amon RA 2.2.1 (Recommended)
Amon RA 1.7.0.1 (Not recommended due to incompatibility with zip files and recovery backups. Also .zips must be signed)
Download the recovery image of your choice (I strongly recommend Clockwork 2.5.1.8)
Next put your phone in Fastboot mode by rebooting then holding Camera+Power, make sure USB Cable is plugged in. Also let Windows search Windows Update for drivers.
Download fastboot.exe from here: http://adf.ly/2M8Hi and extract it to the desktop. Also put the recovery image you downloaded onto the desktop too.
Be sure to have your fastboot drivers installed, if you use Vista/Windows 7 then the driver should be auto-downloaded from Windows Update, if you use XP or the drivers won't install from Windows Update, then look at this.
Open a command prompt and type the following:
Code:
cd Desktop
fastboot devices (if you see ? fastboot then your device is recognized)
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot reboot
When fastboot says rebooting, hold down HOME and wait. You should see clockwork pop up. Recovery is now on your phone. You can delete the fastboot, kdz and recovery file from your pc because we won't be needing them again. Unless you need to use fastboot.exe again, but just download the fastboot.zip again if you need it) The other files, we don't need.
(NOTE: If your phone reboots with no boot logos (LG logo and animation), or when you flash recovery and it doesn't come up, follow the steps found here. Thanks to fishears for the post!)
Now, installing custom ROMs. Pick any ROM you'd like from the ROM Development section, if you can, get the recovery version, it is much easier to install. Determine if it is a recovery backup, or update.zip
Recovery backups usually contain some .img files and a nandroid.md5 file. The folder containing these files will need to go in the sdcard\clockworkmod\backup folder. Flash them by going to Backup/Restore>Restore>Then pick the backup folder.
Recovery update.zips contain three (or four) files/folders:
boot.img (file)
install-busybox.sh (file, only appears in SOME ROMs)
system (folder)
META-INF (folder)
DO NOT EXTRACT THESE, just put the .zip file on your sdcard, then go into recovery and go to install .zip from sdcard>choose .zip>pick the .zip you downloaded. (NOTE FOR SWIFTDROID: You MUST put the update-cm-xxxxx.zip file found in the SwiftDroid_x.x.x.x_Recovery.zip on your sdcard for it to install!!!)
If you need any help, PM me or reply to this thread.
Don't forget to say
if I helped!
Enjoy!

lol, I was going to post it for a while because most of it was a reply to another post, but only just got round to doing it and it only took about 1 hour to re-write, but hopefully it will save some time by not having to explain it again and again to first time flashers (when they appear lol) Also might do a boot logo and recovery repair one too so users can sort that out too as there isn't a clear guide with pics on XDA. Also, i'm going to contact Decad3nce and see if we can get this stuck.

I have a few theoretical questions about this. Firstly, what calling issues does this fix? My current configuration is based off a v20d Baltic fastboot kdz, and has no problems. What difference would it make if I were to flash this v20c Orange, and restored a backup of my current software, if any(difference)? Lastly, is there any way to chech what baseband/radio a kdz flashes, if possible, without flashing it? I would be glad if I learned something new today, thanks.

It is meant to include a fix for calling while connected to 3G. Me and many other users encountered a problem where we could not recieve calls on 3G. I flashed this and my problem was gone. Also, i'm unsure how to check the baseband firmware, in 2.2 ROMs, this is visible, but I looked in the build.prop, and it was a set text (under ro.ril.baseband I think) but yes, you could flash this KDZ, restore backup and all would be well. But if you needed the modified partitions, just use the tutorial that is in my signature, then flash backup.
Good idea

yep well said, when they appear and post without using search bar...lol think that i've did it myself but i used to save improtant notes and like that no need to search again and again, the thread should be stuck for noobs..
the guides are already here but posted on different threads and not at start, so agree that pics alongside instruction is a good idea.
Do I need recovery_clockwork_4.0.1.4_swift, that is on Mur4ik's site, to install SwiftDroid_v2.0_RC4, or I can use recovery clockwork 2.5.1.8 that I already have on my phone?
EDIT:Nvm, fixed it.
Added info on making sure 'Mass storage only' is unchecked before using KDZ to solve some peoples issues with the phone not being detected.
Noob friendly? hardly.
THis has no information on rooting. does the phone need to be rooted? is this flash pre rooted? how to root?
Lack of information everywhere, sorry.

Obviously if you needed to root then I would have included the steps. Also around 99% of custom ROMs are rooted anyway.
I have a rooted and already updated to 2.1.
Would this still work?

As far as I am aware, it works perfect, GO is just some branding from some providers.

Hello,
I have a LG G2 (D802). I was busy flashing the stock KDZ, when I got an error. The progress on my phone stopped, and nothing happened anymore. I wanted to try again, so I turned my phone off. Now, when I boot my phone, it gives the LG logo, and then nothing. When I connect it to my pc, I get a lot of format pop-ups.
I followed this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
The KDZ I used: Netherlands Open 16GB KitKat D80220D
Furthermore, also while connected to the pc, I only see a folder called "image".
Can someone help me with getting my phone back to stock? It doesn't matter if everything gets wiped, I already backed up everything.
Thanks in advance!
If lots of drives still pop up when you connect your phone to the PC,then follow this guide:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQVTc2m6U-I
I did it,and it fixed my download mode,and I could finally access Download Mode.
If your Download Mode still works,try the TOT method,it worked for me,since the KDZ method would be stuck at 2% every time(in my case).
So,after,or if your download mode works,do try the TOT method.

Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately, I even can't get the phone into fastboot mode.
Here are some pictures to show what's inside the "image" folder in the first local disk (= first partition?): 1: http://i.imgur.com/InFoiXA.png 2: http://i.imgur.com/YzjXOmQ.png 3: http://i.imgur.com/JDEnUfa.png

So you basically cant access the recovery,fastboot nor the Download Mode,right?
Try asking for help on this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
People there really know how to help,they helped me there too
Just dont panic,even if your phone is in a "hard brick" state(doubtfully),there is a fix for it too.
I suggest you do not do anything without consulting with other members.
You just have to be patient.
EDIT
Oh,and go to the Device Manager and tell me what name your G2 has when connected to the PC.

Then,you should see a certain Disk which is separated into tons of parts.

Download the kdz suitable for your model and flash it with LG Flash Tool.
Follow the "Back to stock" guide which you mentioned in the OP.
There will be a link to the KDZ archive for various models,and make sure that you select the kdz for the 32 GB variant if you have a 32 GB variant. Because it will be dangerous if you flash a 16gb variant kdz on a 32 gb phone.

And if the same thing happens when flashing,fix it again(if it won't access the download mode) and try to flash while using another PC.

Yes,excellent job.
To root,download "Towelroot" to your phone,install it and press the "Make it rain" button,then install SuperSU,then look for "AutoRec" and make sure you get the version for your variant.

Download the BUMPED TWRP from this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705
It is in a flashable zip,so just flash it with the TWRP which was installed by AutoRec.
You must have the bumped version of TWRP!!
After you flashed the BUMP TWRP,reboot recovery.
Here is a bootloader changer,AROMA edition:http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/d802-bootloader-changer-1-1-jb-kk-lp-t3104380

Hey man,
I noticed that Towelroot doesn't work for LG G2 Lollipop. Any idea how to fix this?
Edit: trying it with another root.
Edit 2: rooted. Going to flash now.
Alright it works, thanks! Can you tell me why I need the bumped version? Just curious

It is complicated,just do it. XD
I was asking the same thing like you.I ignored others,rushed with roms,didnt use the BUMPED TWRP and my phone was bricked.
Basically the TWRP you get with AutoRec is just capable of flashing partitions for the bootloader,not the system partition(the rom is in the system partition).
The BUMPED TWRP has a certain type of an exploit,and lets us install those system partitions.
Shortly:You can't install roms without the BUMPED TWRP.

I'm guessing my phone is refurbished?
I bought a D802 from a third-party, with:
- 32GB ROM
- 4.4.2 D80220b firmware
- 2G, 3G, 4G working
- The csmg.lgmobile.com website said that according to my IMEI, my model is the UAE 32GB D802 and gave me the D80230a firmware for manual flash via LG Flash tool.
I used the phone for a while, rooted it and used Xposed. Never got recovery so no backup(wish I'd seen the SRK tool before). Then I downloaded the firmware from the csmg.lgmobile.com website. I flashed it via the Flash tool and everything seemed fine. Then it booted:
- Touchscreen was erratic. Ghost touches, dead spots, phantom touches, whatever.
- The Baseband Version and IMEI in About Phone both say Unknown
- ROM has converted to a 16GB version
- Download mode is fine along with every other feature of the phone
After that I looked around and found a UAE D80220c firmware and flashed that. It flashed fine but all the above issues remained the same.
I browsed around extensively here and found out:
- Refurbished phones have their back cover and firmware changed to imitate D802's.
- My phone is probably some other G2 model with D802 firmware and an altered IMEI
- The actual model of my device is UNDER the motherboard. Which, apparently, I must get hold of so I can flash the appropriate stock kdz. This gets a bit too hardware-y for me.
So, basically, my phone is no more useful than a brick at the moment. Any expert help would be appreciated but here are the main questions that I'd really like answered:
A. Should I try various flashing the kdz files from different models mentioned in the link I gave up ^there until one clicks and then try to do something about the IMEI?
B. Is there any chance that my phone is beyond repair forever?
C. Should I stop messing around with my mediocre knowledge and take it to a repair shop?
Hey guys im checking out a method i found on putting the metro phone back to stock (I had my phone rooted when i tried updating as ive seen with a few others)
I am currently on MetroPCS LG G Stylo 5.1.1
Things I've tried previously:
Updating normally (with root, gave error, couldnt update afterwards)
Updating after removing root (still no cigar there so i went to LG Bridge)
LG Bridge also did not work
Bootstack + Return2Stock (Didnt work either)
So now, im going to give you the solid information on HOW to fix this problem, update your phone to 6.0 and re-root it
Things you will need:
Tmobile H63110i_00.kdz (NOT METRO!!!) **I used H631v10j but you can use whichever fits your phone, i felt since mine said j i should use j**
H631v10j Download
H631v10i Download
LG Flash Tool 2014 - LG Flash Tool Download
LG Drivers - LG Drivers
LG Bridge - Found Here
1. Extract the Flash tool to your desktop, copy the H631v10(i or j) into the LG flash tool folder, Install your LG Drivers AND install LG Bridge
2. Boot your Stylo into Download Mode (Plug the USB into your COMPUTER, Shut off the phone completely, wait 3 seconds then hold VOLUME UP and then plug in your USB cable to your phone while holding the volume button)
3. Run LG Flash tools exe as administrator, Select Type: CDMA, PhoneMode: DIAG, Reset time: 33000 then select your .kdz file (the one u put in the flash tool folder)
4. Click 'CSE Flash' then click 'Start' under Country select 'Different' and Language 'English' then hit OK
**NOTE: You will get an error about not being able to connect to the server, just click OK and let it go, your phone will still update**
5. Once your phones finished updating, you will go through the setup, you will be on T-Mobile firmware (for now) so log in with your google account, set up the phone and then open google play, set that up first so you know the gapps are up to date.
6. Go to Settings click the three dots at the top right and click list view (its easier) then scroll to About Phone, click Update Center and UPDATE YOUR APPS FIRST! i have no idea why but this is crucial. after they are updated, repeat the step and click system updates, you should see the update is available (DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT ON THE PHONE!)
7. Connect your phone (if not still connected) and open LG Bridge, for the first time users it will ask you to log in with your gmail, do that and once you get into the app your phone should show up on the bottom left corner of the app. There are 3 tabs at the top 'LG AirDrive' 'LG Backup' 'Software Update' Click on Software Update
8. It will check and tell you your phone is up to date, click OK and after a few seconds you should see the update pop up (it will say MS63110j this is the metro update to bring your phone back to metro firmware) Update your phone and let it download, update and install through the app, during this time your phone will restart and boot into update mode, dont touch it, let it go.
9. Your phone will boot up showing the LG Logo at around 90% in the app, DO NOT UNPLUG IT, let it update until the app says 100% complete. Your phone will start the usual optimization process of apps and all that, let it go and after a bit you will boot back into Metro on 5.1.1 with no root no TWRP etc.
10. Update your phone normally and it should update through the software updater thats built in on your phone if you followed everything correctly.
This is my first tutorial, but as i was writing this i was doing it to my phone at the same exact time, so this should do exactly what mine did and update normally. after you finish updating do the normal steps for Root/TWRP (i did not do these yet) and let me know if this worked for you.
UPDATE** After all of this work, I am very pleased to inform you that the update to 6.0 stock firmware WORKED (I had to wait between 11pm and 4am to download the update, i downloaded it at 11:34pm it is not 12:05pm and android is upgradeing 8 of 19 files currently), Tutorial is a success!!

Im not 100% sure about that, you can give it a try but as always, make a backup of your current ROM in TWRP and put it on your computer just in case.
For Step #6, I had WIFI on so it automatically started downloading the MM update when I tapped "System Update". Fortunately, I was still able to go through the rest of the steps with no problems. Probably we should just avoid tapping "System Updates" ? Anyway, much thx.
Now, how to re-root...?

Thats ok to do and as far as rerooting, i havent done that just yet as i havent had the time to do so. As soon as i reroot my phone i will update the thread but in the mean time you can attempt the 1 click root method for 5.1.1 and see if that works for you, if not i heard the manual root method works on 6.0
I was like you. I tried the Bootstack + Return2Stock with the OTA update, but the phone never rebooted.
I decided I was not going to worry about going to 6.0. I tried rooting the 5.1.1 the same way I did before using the Bootstack + Return2Stock. My phone did not boot back up.
So I decided that I would use this guide to get to 6.0 since I have to do something to get the phone working again.
I'm stuck at #8. LG bridge says no software update as your guide states, but it does not show the MS63110j update.....
Thoughts
I can't get this to work .. but then again, I have a different problem .. security error 1009 ..
Anyways, I get passed the choosing CSE or Normal methods .. then I get to 100 percent on the first task .. then to about 30 percent on the second one, then it magicly stops working on me, the whole program. No matter what I do.

With that youd have to entirely flash a new ROM onto your phone, ive had that happen to me before with other phones ive had and my only fix was to flash a stock ROM like 5.1.1 or something onto your phone. LG Bridge will only find the updates if the phone is on and working (booted up) but if you open LG Bridge and click the software update tab theres a link in the bottom right corner that says "Update Error Recovery" try that

Thats quite odd, try opening LG Bridge and clicking on the Software Update tab, then clicking the link at the bottom right that says "Update Error Recovery" see if this fixes the problem.

double edit...i found the metro/tmobile kdzs here http://androidforums.com/threads/re...s-kdz-for-t-mobile-metro-fido-for-now.927867/
sounds like you might want to stick to using the kdz to get back to stock, because it seems like some people have had issues not being able to get the ota update when they use the other method
i have tried just about everything... tried putting the metropcs kdz, the tmobile kdz.. switching to a stock tmobile and a metropcs Rom and still not able to update...

hey guys im checking out a method i found on putting the metro phone back to stock (i had my phone rooted when i tried updating as ive seen with a few others)
i am currently on metropcs lg g stylo 5.1.1
things i've tried previously:
Updating normally (with root, gave error, couldnt update afterwards)
updating after removing root (still no cigar there so i went to lg bridge)
lg bridge also did not work
bootstack + return2stock (didnt work either)
so now, im going to give you the solid information on how to fix this problem, update your phone to 6.0 and re-root it
things you will need:
Tmobile h63110i_00.kdz (not metro!!!) **i used h631v10j but you can use whichever fits your phone, i felt since mine said j i should use j**
h631v10j download
h631v10i download
lg flash tool 2014 - lg flash tool download
lg drivers - lg drivers
lg bridge - found here
1. Extract the flash tool to your desktop, copy the h631v10(i or j) into the lg flash tool folder, install your lg drivers and install lg bridge
2. Boot your stylo into download mode (plug the usb into your computer, shut off the phone completely, wait 3 seconds then hold volume up and then plug in your usb cable to your phone while holding the volume button)
3. Run lg flash tools exe as administrator, select type: Cdma, phonemode: Diag, reset time: 33000 then select your .kdz file (the one u put in the flash tool folder)
4. Click 'cse flash' then click 'start' under country select 'different' and language 'english' then hit ok
**note: You will get an error about not being able to connect to the server, just click ok and let it go, your phone will still update**
5. Once your phones finished updating, you will go through the setup, you will be on t-mobile firmware (for now) so log in with your google account, set up the phone and then open google play, set that up first so you know the gapps are up to date.
6. Go to settings click the three dots at the top right and click list view (its easier) then scroll to about phone, click update center and update your apps first! I have no idea why but this is crucial. After they are updated, repeat the step and click system updates, you should see the update is available (do not download it on the phone!)
7. Connect your phone (if not still connected) and open lg bridge, for the first time users it will ask you to log in with your gmail, do that and once you get into the app your phone should show up on the bottom left corner of the app. There are 3 tabs at the top 'lg airdrive' 'lg backup' 'software update' click on software update
8. It will check and tell you your phone is up to date, click ok and after a few seconds you should see the update pop up (it will say ms63110j this is the metro update to bring your phone back to metro firmware) update your phone and let it download, update and install through the app, during this time your phone will restart and boot into update mode, dont touch it, let it go.
9. Your phone will boot up showing the lg logo at around 90% in the app, do not unplug it, let it update until the app says 100% complete. Your phone will start the usual optimization process of apps and all that, let it go and after a bit you will boot back into metro on 5.1.1 with no root no twrp etc.
10. Update your phone normally and it should update through the software updater thats built in on your phone if you followed everything correctly.
This is my first tutorial, but as i was writing this i was doing it to my phone at the same exact time, so this should do exactly what mine did and update normally. After you finish updating do the normal steps for root/twrp (i did not do these yet) and let me know if this worked for you.
Update** after all of this work, i am very pleased to inform you that the update to 6.0 stock firmware worked (i had to wait between 11pm and 4am to download the update, i downloaded it at 11:34pm it is not 12:05pm and android is upgradeing 8 of 19 files currently), tutorial is a success!!

I have both MetroPcs and t mobile. If you want you can try using LG Bridge to update the phone, basically does same thing but it's more user friendly and it always downloads right package. But to recover from brick I think LG UP only way to it.

i wanted to give the t mobile firmware a shot and i don't think it would work though any official tools, 1) i haven't got the update that t mobile has as far as i can tell(is it just a security patch? or a os update?) 2) i'm really hoping the flash will let me bypass the metro hotspot check, right now i can only use pdanet+ works great but i want proper hotspot past my 8GB. it's up to you i'm just asking if i can be posted, any help is good help dont want to ask for to much.

That does not seem safe at all. That sounds like you could brick your phone. You should never try firmwares for different models. If you want upgrade use correct model. MetroPcs is k7ms330.

yeah i know thats why i wanted to use twrp, i already have the version with the button combo and as long as i dont flash the recovery i wont have a issue with restoring, hardware wise they are the same and i've done the same with galaxy s3's and 4's between [email protected] and T-mobile also done this with some LG optimus F(and some number 90?) between boost and sprint so i know it's possible and as long as recovery is accessible it should be alright

Do you want boot and system? I can only give you a rooted and with xposed. I have twrp backups and that's it. I don't think there's a way to flash stock with twrp.

I think it's on the PC. Why would it need internet on the phone? If you can get the download link from the log, that would be great. I still need for that model. I'll search for it.

I hope its not just my phone but...
I have the MS330 (Metro) and i followed the steps. Worked just fine. But im having issues with the phone. Actually its just one MAJOR issue. SEVERE battery drain and, may be bad to say it this way, but i hope someone else is having a problem too. I really hope this is a Metro KDZ problem and not my phone going bad. I know its not the battery itself because i have used 3 different batteries, one being brand new. And this is my only phone. I need to figure out how to fix the problem. I think its ***10g update LG supplied. And i need to find a way to go back to the original stock system before this. I think it was ***10e. Does anyone have a TWRP backup? I cant take this battery drain. Please say something if you had battery drain also.

I've heard having KingRoot instead of SuperSU kills battery. But I'm not sure. Pm @goitalone I think he knows of unofficial kdz with the old version. If he does, please send it to me so I can post it here.
I always replace kingroot with supersu. It always replaces and fully removes kingroot. I flashed twrp beta 1 and it works just fine. I use adb to restart to recovery and do what needs done. And i have busybox installed and i use xtreme booster. Thank you for that info though. I have seen the battery drain with kingroot. I will pm him and see what can be done thank you.

You could reflash KDZ and use this method to root, IDK if it will help http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/root-lg-k7-install-supersu-kingroot-t3413941 Make sure you boot into recovery instead of flashing. Root it then you can flash.
Overview::Well, something bad happened to my phone (H830), then LGUP said unknown device. I tried many tools, different KDZ but all went failed
What Actually happened in my case:
I had mm stock 10d ROM then I upgraded to 20a using LGUP KDZ method by using uppercut trick. I wanted to enjoy Fulmics 1.5 (for my H830), but was newbie so had no idea about rooting it and installing (Because all available guides were actually complexed or I was impatient to read other things except main procedure). So I did something strange and Fulmics was installed over 20a ROM, because I was unable to wipe internal storage due to that decryption thing.
So I thought, I should go back to stock by using LGUP and retry the procedure with more focus. This time LGUP didn’t know my phone, not with that uppercut too. I thought that’s because I unlocked bootloader and must first try to lock it, and try again with LGUP. I retried with locked bootloader and failed again.
(Remember, LGUP or any other tool have nothing to do with back to stock thing. You can go back to stock whether you are bootloader locked or unlocked, it has no power of stopping you.)
Possible Cases:So I will not waste the time. Possible cases:
1: LG G5 stuck on download mode and it is now not being recognized by LGUP and you can’t do anything, because no other tool is available.
2: You installed a custom ROM and now LGUP is not recognizing it. You want to go back to stock and can’t do it.
3: Anything bad happened during flashing process, PC restarted, phone went off or whatever. And now you can’t bring it back to life.
¬ Or
Other cases you faced.
Read 4th post before proceeding,
Before asking a question, first, see FAQ in 3rd post. In that way you can save a lot of time.
For Video Guide refer to 4th Post
Things You need:
1: LG UP
2: Uppercut
3: Drivers
4: Stock ROM for your device.
All Herehttps://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/uppercut-lgup-loader-g5-variants-t3511295
5 : LG Flash tool (the one used to bring LG G2, G3 back to stock).
I used 20a KDZ because I had it already and it was nougat with vulnerability to root and flash TWRP.
6: LG Firmware extract tool
In 2nd post
Most tools can be found in attachments of 2nd post.
Process:
First:
Uninstall all other tool, previous driver (including other phone’s too). Restart PC
Just to avoid problems. I tried this process many times on Windows 10 64-bit and it always worked for me. So it has no problems with new Windows OS.
Now follow procedure in exact order.
1: Install LG drivers.
Put Phone in download
(Hold Vol+ and connect to PC while it was powered off).
Wait until it finishes installing drivers. Change COM Port to 41.

Now DC it from PC and keep it staying in Download mode.
2: Install LG Flash tool and copy megalock.dll to installation directory or it won’t work.
3: Install LGH-H830_DLL, LGH850_DLL and LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3.
4: Extract LG Firmware Extract and copy Stock KDZ to that folder.
5: Run WindowsLGFirmwareExtract.exe
A: Click on “KDZ file” open and select stock KDZ.
B: Mark File Name. It will select all files. Click on extract KDZ button. Wait till finished. Now quit the program.
6: Run LG Flash tool. Select Manual mode. Click “…” for dll and select LGUPc.dll from that KDZ extracted folder.
A: Click on add button of S/W, Select “All Files” from pop up window. Now ““.KDZ”” file will be shown, select that ““.KDZ”” file, press open button, click on “OK”
B: Begin download by pressing that big “Yellow Right Arrow”. Wait until it finishes loading.
C: Connect phone when LG Flash tool says “Waiting for connection”. Make sure phone is in download mode and COM port is 41.
D: After a while it should fail the process, that’s fine. Just DC Phone, do not turn it off.
7: Exit LG Flash tool and Run it again. Select Manual Mode. This time select LGUP_H830.dll (Select as per your model e.g H850.dll for International variant) from LGUP
(Download it from 2nd post, then extract and select as dll for this step only.)
Folder. On S/W section first click on “Remove All” to erase old selected KDZ from tool and select “.DZ” (not “.KDZ”) as S/W from extracted KDZ ROM.
A: Press ok, Select on big “Yellow right arrow”. This will be loaded quickly. Connect the phone again. This time the process will get started. Wait till it gets completed.
Note: This flashing process will go up to 150% so don’t get nervous or don’t DC phone.
B: Phone will be restarted automatically. A big “2” will be shown. Wait till it gets converted into “3” and tool will say pass.
if so pull battery and start phone normally.
Or
If it is not converted into 3: Happened to me for first time.
(First Quit LG Flash tool)
Pull battery, reboot again into download mode. Run Uppercut, say “Yes” to consent, LGUP will be started automatically, Now LGUP will recognize the phone. Click on upgrade, Press “…” and browse stock KDZ ROM and select “.KDZ” stock ROM (not “.DZ”)
Select Upgrade because Refurbish won't work with uppercut.
Press Start. Download will get started. Wait until it finishes. Now Your Phone is back to life.
Ask If anything wrong happened, I will try my best to help. I used this method on my device, LG G5 T-Mobile variant AKA H830. It should work for others.
Hit Thanks, if I helped you.
If I forgot to give credit to anyone who is related with these tools, please let me know and I will be happy to name them.
Attachments. See below.
LGUP_H830.dll is for H830 variant only. You need .dll file specified for your variant.

(This doesn't have dll for all G5 variants but should ease to some users) (Huge thanks to @codefire for awesome website)
FAQ
I got confused on which Flash tool to use and with this megalock stuff?
Ans: Thanks, you asked, Just download LG Flash Tool attached in 2nd post, unzip, install tool, there will be a megalock.dll too, copy that to installation folder (by default that's "C:\LG\LGFlashTool") and overwrite, (written in install.instructions too inside zip).
This method isn't working for me, what shall I do?
Ans: The possible reasons, for that not working, might be,
A: You didn't installed drivers properly, try uninstalling old drivers and restarting after that.
B: LG COM PORT isn't set to COM41, here is guide for that.
C: And Most important, You are not following steps in the order in which they are written, so read carefully.
I followed the method and now my phone is totally live but now I want to root my device and have TWRP, so I can have full freedom with this phone. Can you give me any thread for that?
Ans: Nice question. There's a lots of nice threads out there here's a thread currently covering H830 only but you are welcomed to try this on H850 and let me know if this works so that I can update the thread.
Can I lock my bootloader again so I can take OTA updates?
Ans: First of all, always remember, bootloader has nothing to do with OTA. It means that if your phone is flashed with stock rom without any root or TWRP and bootloader is unlocked, you can take OTA uodates without any brick. So there is no connection between OTA and bootloader.
But if you still want to lock bootloader, here's the process. Make sure drivers are installed and minimal adb & fastboot is installed too.
Take battery out, put it back, hold vol- and connect phone to pc with data cable, it will boot into fastboot. Enter command in adb & fastboot cmd windows,
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot
Your phone will now try to boot into system, if stock rom is installed phone will boot without any issue else you will have to flash stock kdz again.

megalocks.dll file?
I'm trying your method as described above but my issue into your explanation I can't locate the megalocks.dll file to put into the lg flash tool. lil help? I'm having issues with H830 being recognized in LGUP to flash back to stock. ok found it and downloaded it and dropped it into the flash tool folder.
I got a little confused on which Flash tool to use and with the megalock part but everything worked just as described. thank you for your help!!! I'm on a Tmo G5 (H830) and had no issues.
I followed all the steps. LGflashtool got stuck on 10 per cent and failed after 63sec. Same thing on LGbridge it got stuck on 10 per cent. And LGUP wouldnt recognise it. It's on com41. The phone is stuck in download mode. No recovery. What can I do please?

Have you followed it as described. You have to do the process 2 times with lg flash tool and after that with lgup (only if you stuck with big 2).
Please read care-fully..
Tell me if it worked or not.

Finally, it has come back to life. I retried it using LGflashtool but this time I used stock Nougat rom for Vofadone UK cos my phone was simlocked to Vodafone UK. I was using MM rom for 3 Networt cos I wanted to install xposed framework which aint compatible with Nougat.
Thanks to everyone who helped to make my phone come back to life esp the created of this thread.

Good luck with that. :?
OP, I would like to make a suggestion. Could you please include screenshots to illustrate the steps. That will help people to better understand the steps and to make sure no step is missed as this is happening to lots of people lately. With that it will save you from replying to posts of missed steps and make the thread clean. Thank you once again.
