[VK815] Verizon x8.3 Flash back to Stock - G Pad 8.3 General

This is for the out of the box KDZ firmware. If you took the recent OTA and updated, BEWARE. LG has been implementing a security LOCK that prevents and HARDBRICKS your device if you try to downgrade.
I know that the LG G4 will hard brick if you attempt to downgrade. There has been no reports of bricking by doing this if you previously taken the Verizon OTA update but be warned and be prepared to potentially blow up your device.
This method is specifically for those who Rooted the Stock 11A and want to revert back to stock so they CAN take the OTA. There is no confirmed method to gain root on the newer OTA firmware. So beware on that too.
I was on a Rooted 11A stock image and I just flashed the KDZ back to Stock 11A (non-rooted):

Copy everything to a folder on your desktop.
Download Mode:
POWER OFF DEVICE
Once off, press and hold VOL-UP and insert USB cable
Make sure you install "Download mode" drivers. Look in the "COM PORTS" section of device manager. You should see a "DIAG" driver on some random COM port (mine was COM6).
Launch LG Flash Tool.
First Window:
KEEP DEFAULT SETTINGS. Load the KDZ (from above) into the Flash Tool. Click CSE FLASH.
Second Window:
Just click Start
Third Window:
KEEP THE DEFAULT Language settings. The KDZ will determine the language.
And finally, just let it do its thing. I didn't have an error but it would probably be driver related. I initially saw a bunch of "?????????" in the Status (fourth) Window. That is normal. Your Tablet should display the same COM Port your DIAG driver was installed on. But just leave it alone. A full install took about 5-10minutes. I walked away and came back to the new Setup Screen.

This link doesn't seem to work anymore. Any chance you still have a copy you could upload somewhere?

Does anybody still have a copy of VK81511A_21.kdz
I have checked every link on google without any luck...

Is there any method that I can use to remove root from my VK815 tablet. I have spent the last three days trying to use the Marshmallow KDZ with LGFlashTool2014(because I cannot find the original VK81511A_21.kdz, it appears to have disappeared from the internet) I also tried using LGUP, but it will not work because you need a device specific dll for LGUP and i cannot find the vk815 dll.
I have read that the reason that LGFlashTool2014 dont work is because my KDZ file is marshmallow which flash tool does not like.
So I figure I either need a lollipop kdz file to use with flash tool, or I need the dll file for the vk815 to use with LGUP. I cannot find either on the internet, or maybe there is another way that I can remove root, I really would appreciate any help I can get.
I will use any method whatsoever if it can just remove the root, any help is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: OK to follow up, LG Flash tool 2014 will NOT work with a marshmallow image(which is all that is online at 99% of sites) I did FINALLY manage to find the original VK81511A_21.kdz file, and it DOES work with LG Flash tool 2014, I think the only way to install a marshmallow kdz is with LGUP but it requires a device specific dll, in our case the dll for VK815, which I was unable to find.
The place that I managed to find VK81511a_21.kdz was on a chinesse site wangpan114 which redirects to baidu also a chinesse site, and you have to download their download manager, and also manage to figure out how to register on a site that is not in english.
If anyone needs this kdz file just send me a private message, I plan on keep a copy on my drive.

Hey there I came across your post on the hunt for a LG VK81511A_21.kdz, I believe I have the DLL file you referenced, I'm hoping you have that kdz still? I would be extremely grateful for any assistance, thanks in advance.

[Q] [REQ] DLL for flashing D805 10B TOT file through LG Flash Tool 1.6 - Please help

Guys, I really need to find the LG DLL file database for flashing .TOT files.
The DLL file I need is for the LG G2 D80510B_00 or LG G2 D80510A_00 TOT file firmwares, to be used on 1.6 LGFlashTool, for Brazil unbranded variant of the phone. I believe it will work for all D805 models.
The .TOT file I intend to use is LGD805AT-00-V10a-724-05-AUG-23-2013-16G+0.tot
I have scoured the internet for over a week and found none other than in a chinese LG G2 forum, the link -- http://bbs.gaodi.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=662769&extra=page=1&filter=typeid&typeid=2381 -- and the file was no longer available for download. I registered on their forum, but the file was showing an error even after proper registration.
I have not found this DLL anywhere, is there a database for it? How did people come up with the AT&T and Vzn DLL versions? I haven't been able to extract it from the KDZ files either, and the DLLs generated from the KDZ during UpdateTool does not work.
I had bricked the phone originally by trying to use Scott's Clean Rom on it, and it bricked into fastboot mode. I flashed something wrong on fastboot, I can't even remeber what, and rebooted, and fastboot was no longer accessible...
I can get into download mode, and factory reset from stock recovery, no custom recovery available, it is gone. I try to flash KDZ files, many versions besides my D805 one, just for the sake of trying, but all of them get stuck on the 49% point. I have set up port 41, disabled modem, reset phone before trying, selected many different language combinations besides my own Portuguese one. Nothing works.
On LGFlashTool 1.6 it seems like it can work, but it errors at 1%, when I use the DLLs for D800 or D802. I need the DLL for D805. I even managed to find the proper TOT file.
I have also searched for about two days on how to reenter fastboot mode from where I currently am stuck.I even did a DIY Factory Cable on an micro USB I had lying around, soldered it all right, but it did not work, and the cable got very hot. I think these cables will not get G2 into fastboot mode, like it seems to do on Kindle fire and Motorola devices. Maybe my DIY was not that good, but I think it should have worked, I made sure the soldure was set and good.
I am downloading Android SDK to try to get back into fastbood mode from there, if there is a way, as it seems to be. I would try to reflash boot and other partitions in an attempt to fix my phone... Is there a way, or another faster path back into Fastboot?
Download mode does not show the version of the firmware on the phone in the box that displays information in the bottom while fdlashng KDZ files. It leaves a blank line where it should be. I believe it is part of my problem, that LGFlashTool does not see a version on the phone at some point, and fails. Or the phone rejects the PC pushes.
I am almost going to the tech support guy with a flash box downtown, but that would be my last resot, and then official LG support, if all else fails. I don't want to go to LG yet because download mode shows ROOTED in red, and they would see it probably, and my warranty become void.
Thanks for any ideas, guidance or help... Cheers guys.
Read this carefully may help you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595
Yeah, that was the guide I used when I landed on fastboot after a bad flash from CleanROM... I flashed some boot.img and recovery.img that didnt work out well.
After I flashed these I rebooted and fastboot mode was no longer loading, instead, I am now on bootloop of the LG logo, with no animation, just the first logo that shows on boot, and I can access stock recovery to factory wipe and also access download mode. My download mode shows rooted warning, and while I am flashing a KDZ, does not show the firmware version I currently have in the middle of the box - before I flashed those .IMGs, it did show the version.
I now a, after a .DLL for D805 10A .TOT file, and I cannot find it. I think the flash method from LGFlashTools 1.6 will work, with .DLL and .TOT files, where the LGFlashTools 1.0.5 did not work for me, with .KDZ.
Or if anyone knows of a way to get into the fastboot mode for G2, pelase let me know. Then I could reflash some .IMG files and hopefully get my phone back online...
Try to flash other version even this is 802 or internetional version. At least you can proof your phone completly brick or not.
I only have all TOT file link of F320 and D802 if you need to try.

Hi guys, I finally managed to fix it a couple days after my thread.
I took long to post this, sorry, I had some interner problems...
Turns out there's already a thread explaining how to do it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471370
I went to LG Mobile Support Tool and >Options on top right >Update Recovery.
It had to download, so I did it at a friend's who had 50Mbps internet house, to fix this.
I am sorry that I could not manage to do it offline. I even had the KDZ file to flash, but it was only possible through this option in LG Support Tool...
Best of luck to all in any similar problem, I know I was kinda without hope at some points. I spent 2 weeks trying to fix the phone.

Hi guys, I know this is not the right spot to ask it, but it more visited than other.
I already installed this ROM and Worked all fine, but when I'm trying to install some Magisk Modules and rebooted my device it get stuck at LG logo... I can access Download mode but not my TWRp recovery.
Any solution to my problem? Just a little help...
Thank you so much anyway!

Thanks to all that tried to help me! I appreciate it a lot! Thank you so much!
My only solution was to try short the capacitors following this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404
Thanks God I don't need to mess with the board!
My problem was that I tried this ROM LineageOS 17.1 with latest version of TWRP Blastgator. Everything was running fine until I flashed Magisk and installed some Mods, then the device rebooted and I get stuck at logo!
No System and no Recovery access, only Download mode! :crying:
Then I followed this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
I used to install some custom ROMs like Cloudy G2, LineageOS, Resurretion Remix and AOSPX Pie and tried to this new one. I never had any problems!
This time I realized that my device was forever bricked, my last hope was to short the capacitors but I tried all ways to back to Stock because in Downlaod Mode my device was recognized by Windows.
I tried this in Windows 10 x64 but no success, then I formatted an old HD with Windows 7 x64 to try again!
Old Flash Tool get me stuck at 2% or 4%... no success in both system with all LG drivers available... NO SUCCESS!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53313255&postcount=5400
LGUp only gives Unknow Device and never start but it's seens the device on port 41 - that I changed following the tutorial.
My last hope was New Flash Tool but I needed TOT file for my Device - D805 not D802 and the correct DLL. initially I didn't find anywhere... Like this guy:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583851
I give a lot of tries... a lot of different files, DLLs, tried .KDZ and .DZ, only errors and errors... a lot of "Failed to Load()"...
I'm getting frustrated until I see this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
And found this mine of gold of Downloads:
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/
And again, thanks to all, there is a hope in the D805 folder!
I get the TOT File: BIN_LGD805AT-00-V10a-724-05-AUG-23-2013-16G.zip and tried the LG Firmware Extractor (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600575) to get a new DLL (LGUP8974.dll).
And voilà, like a charm that WORKED!!!!!!!!! :fingers-crossed::highfive:
It installed Jelly Bean the with the Official LG Updater I installed Kitkat and finally Lollipop.
Later I'll try this LineageOS Rom again!
I hope I can help someone in need like me!!
I thank this forum a lot!!
And please excuse my English!
Thank you so much!

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.

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:

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.

Do you need a dll with a KDZ? I thought the DLL was only needed for the .TOT files?
I thought so ....
I've never used it so good question

ah, Yeah I think KDZ's you use the LGUP tool which is descriped in another thread They don't appear to need a dll for the kdz. So I believe the dll is TOT only. I could be wrong as i'm not an expert on it, but I believe that's that process.
Has anyone successfully reflash there VS995 with this KDz yet?
Im not even trying to Root my 2nd Unit until I have all GOOD
Well I managed to Get LGUP running & it picked up my phone im still Stock no Root & it fail'd at 9% for tho those's who need to know, Maybe try flashing it more then once. I also ran into a problem with LGUP not finding my device so i had to copy & paste the common folder elsewhere
Yeah I ran into the same problem. 0x2000 error. CEFS:Initalize(). Terrible!
*edit*
Ran the uppercut method (link)and was able to flash the kdz on a stock non-rooted vs995! Just with a grain of salt, uppercut is recognized as a virus by some AV, but I took the risk and checked it out and it looks like it's just a false positive because it modify's another programs files in memory... so use at your own risk!
Thanks a million everyone, I finally fixed my Lg v20 vs995! I kept having failure trying it with Uppercut, but I finally saw that I needed to install 3 files to get it to work correctly, 1st you need the kdz file: VS99512A_06_1114_ARB00.kdz, next you need to install 2 driver files, LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3_3.msi and LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.1.1.exe, and of course have UPPERCUT.exe. Finally after installing all of the correct drivers, and loading UPPERCUT, using the VS99512A_06_1114_ARB00.kdz, I finally got it to work and you have to choose "UPGRADE" in UPPERCUT, but I completely restored my phone to factory!!! What a frickn blessling, I am so happy, because I was trying for days to fix this..... and I actually threw this phone in the trash, hehehehehe, but something made be take it out of the trash an hour later, THANK GOD!
Link to the KDZ for vs995?
can anyone please direct me to the KDZ for VS995?

Really need a stock LG-H345 (t-mobile) KDZ file; can't find anything online?

My LG Leon (H345) is in a bootloop, I'm able to get into download mode, I just need a KDZ file to flash to it. I've looked online for days now, and every link I find that seems should work just leads me to a blank white page? No download?? Websites that people say will get you any LG KDZ file also don't work and have no content in them. Not sure what to do at this point; would anyone happen to have a KDZ file for this phone? Any version of the firmware should work; I just want to get it working again.

Soft brick

I soft bricked the phone and now can only get into download mode. The phone only has two partitions and I was hoping that flashing a KDZ would fix this.
I'm running Linux Mint on my machine and using SALT an LG type open source program in order to flash.
Question: I heard that I should flash something before the Dec 2017 security patch. I can't find any KDZ files unfortunately and was hoping someone here would have a server I could pull it from.

Oh goodness I'm so terribly sorry I seem to have over looked it.
It's an LGV20 H910
What happened is that I used a ROM that was for another model and it kept crashing. After some time I started tinkering with some other software before I realized that even though I bought the device as a 996 I got the 910 version from the eBay seller.
In any case I remember someone mentioning that if I'm going to flash a stock kernel I should stick to something that was before the DEC 2017 security patch so that I can keep the exploit that enables ROM flashing.
Not sure if that's referring to the bootloader that I'll have to flash or the stock ROM itself.
Oh and lastly I remember someone mentioning that the KDZ for my variant of V20 doesn't have any stock images so I'll have to take one from another model flash it to boot then root it and flash a custom bootloader and then re-flash a custom ROM.
That's probably not how it's suppose to work but it's roughly what I remember.

dear what is the condition of your mobile now? does lg up detect the mobile? if so than use LG UP patched version and try to flash your stock kdz.

Sorry darling that it took so long to reply!
My phone is detected by SALT (the open source program developed by steadfasterX) BUT it is doesn't want to work with LGup on a windows system because I don't have the proper .dll to work with my model type.
The LGup log file says
"LGUP can't load the model."
funny enough though the log file shows the model type right after a hex key string.
It says "LG-US996.. US99610d..."
I can get the phone into download mode but the phone doesn't have any partitions right now. So for now it's a paper weight.

every kdz has dll file, even lg up has dll file. you can extract kdz and get dll for your specific model.
use lg up patched version, search on xda, it will solve your problem.
i can not help on linux and SALT, as i dont have these. if you have access to windows machine, than i can try to sort problem for you.
