D850 not downgradable anymore! - G3 General

I just got a D850 and was trying to root by downgrading to kit kat using flashtool but when it goes into download mode and it's ready to flash it gives me an error. It looks like its not able to read the info from the phone as it comes up with "Model Information Check Fail". Kingroot is not able to root it either.
I've done this in the past with other G3s albeit they didn't have the latest patches. Could it be that the latest patch closed the door for downgrade?
Has anyone been able to downgrade a fully patched G3 D850?
D85030p
MDF v1.1 Release 2
Any help would be appreciated.

Model info check failed means it doesn’t know what model your using. You need to use the correct dll file for your model in LGUP
And of course kingroot cannot root it, it’s only rootable on kitkat

thanks for your reply.
Just to clarify, I'm. not using LGUP, I'm using flashtool and it's got the right dll. I've used this same setup on another D850 and it worked fine. I've have also tried different computers and USB ports and cables but nothing has worked.
Is it safe to use LGUP on a d850? everywhere I've read it mentions different models but not the D850.

You should be using LGUP if the device is running MM 6.0 or later, that would explain why your getting that error.

I've tried those but... none worked...
Even I have this device and looking forward to rooting it. But unfortunately none of the methods work.
Dudes, I think this guy knows the answer to our problem, check him out in this discussion, he claims that he rooted LG e435
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42593612#post42593612
although there was a bit of problem so... just read it to at least have an idea.
My ROM version isalready v10c which i updated with LG mobile support tool and I tried framaroot apk many times with no success. So I m not sure if installing v10c ROM with KDZ is going to make any difference or not. As someone suggested we need to probably flash a pre-rooted ROM.

A pre rooted Rom is basicly LG stock Rom rooted. I have yet to see anyone saying they have rooted this Rom so my guess is that flashing a pre rooted Rom is basicly not possible. I know it can be rooted wish I knew how.

Even I have this device and my software version is already v10c and framearoot doesn't work for me. So should I flash it with KDZ to make it rootable or the firmware for which the links are given is something special ? I belong to a different country , So should I flash with the firmware meant for my region or the one given in the links in that post ?

What is your firmware version? maybe there is something on the firmware that made it rootable, the version in my phone says that it is "E43510c-CIS-XX" and my stock firmware is "E43510c-SAS-XX" maybe it means that this thing is a different 10c, I also thought that I had the right version and failed with framaroot but with his 10c it became rootable.
Go check if you have the same version as him, if not, flash the firmware using KDZ, don't worry about the region, I guess it won't be a problem.
Can you post links for download of kdz farmaroot and firmware... If you have root I think u can use kdz again to flash stock firmware effectively removing root.

Does flashing with this method erase all the data ? And apart from installing on externel SD , Are other root apps working properly ?

When you flash a different Rom.it should erase all data. If you have root then everything with root should work. Root is like getting administrative power which is similar to ur windows administrator account.....

When I flashed it, no data was erased, but make a backup, just in case.
About the apps, its good, apps that need root works just fine.

OTA update for my D855 16GB can't use towelroot anymore

This morning I received OTA updated for my D855 16GB. Before I proceed the update I uninstall all root application (I am already rooted via towelroot) G3 tweakbox, greenify, trickster, etc.
I have updated my D855 just now now software version says v10e-ESA-XX. After the update I can't no longer root via towelroot, it says "this phone isn't currently supported". The OTA says "Power Enhancement", maybe it will affect battery life or so.
Kinda suck anyway, I can't root my device with this ota update, but I still can revert to previous version with LG flash tool and kdz fle but still looking forward to how this will affect my device.
Why not use one of the not-towelroot methods?

Or you could read the Purple Drake thread and find the adb instructions right in there, then have root like the rest of us (if it works on that update of course).

LG G STYLO Users READ HERE Before Trying to Root + KDZ Files

Hi everyone, little update here we have Root for either 5.0.2 or 5.1.1.
If you still on LP 5.0.2 you can safely root your Device using LG One Click Root or Kingroot and if you are using T-mobile (H631) or Metro (MS631) you can safely flash Custom Recovery (TWRP 2.8.7.0 Thanks @Unjustified Dev) and flash the LP 5.1.1 Flashable ZIP (thanks @GameTheory )
NOTE: There is no Custom Recovery for Boost Variant neither KDZ file yet.
NOTE 2: If you take the OTA or Update using LG Software (Tmo and Metro) you'll get LOCK Bootloader but no wories there after Rooting using new 5.1.1 Method you can safely Unlock Bootloader by going under "Developers Options" and check " Enable OEM Unlock " and flash Custom Recovery using Flashify (THIS ONLY WORKS FOR T-MOBILE AND METRO)
NOTE 3: if you are on LP 5.0.2 or LP 5.1.1 just go CLICK HERE to Root, Install Custom Recovery and/or get Flashable LP 5.1.1 Update
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS IMPORTANT/ WARNING.
I recommend using the KDZ file is if your Device is UNRECOVERABLE, Reason why b'cuz once you restore your phone using this KDZ you'll loose having the Bootloader Unlock and ability to Root so TAKE THIS AS LAST RESOURCE.
NOTE : This Process Will WIPE your device including device internal storage. (External SDCard are safe)

That's good to know....have question for you:
1- will this process doesn't update you device if you are on 5.0.2 to 5.1.1?
2. Were you root? Or trying to root?
3. What happend when you got soft-brick?

well i can verify that none of the LG tools work for the Boost variant and still no KDZ file
I accepted the OTA to 5.1.1 on my Stylo, is there a way to root it at all? been searching all over and found nothing hopefully a root method and bootloader unlock method for us running 5.1.1 will be avilable. thanks again for the info!

The updates as of now seem to lock the bootloader even on T-MOBILE...and for me all the Boost devices I've owned were either unlocked or had a workaround but not this one :/

When recover using KDZ (latest version) does lock the Bootloader, but with T-mobile and Metro can be easy unlock by just checking OEM Unlock un developers option , Boost and other variant don't have this luxury of Unlocking Bootloader.

[PlsHelp] Accidentally converted US996 to VS995

Alright boys, let me tell you my story.
I have a LGH915 Freedom Mobile Version. And the rooting process looks like way too much work.
I went and bought a US996 and successfully rooted with Magisk.
Unlocked the bootloader
Rooted US995
Installed Alpha ROM 8.0 and converted my US996 to VS995.
I played around with Magisk and got stuck in a boot loop only going to TWRP, tried to restore my backup and didn't work.
Found the US996 kdz file and tried to flash with LGUP and it said my model is VS995 so it didn't work. Downloaded the VS995 kdz and flashed it.
Thankfully back to stock ROM but now my phone thinks its a VS995.
Now I'm not sure if my bootloader is unlocked still unlocked now or locked. I no longer have TWRP & I cannot flash back to US996 kdz.
Tried to root/unlock VS995 but I got denied
There is no OEM Unlock
I turned on USB Debugging
Was following HighonAndroid's Root Verizon LG V20 method and got stuck on
"applypatch /system/bin/atd /storage/emulated/0/dirtysanta"
Screen stuck on: https://imgur.com/a/kcHPNt8
I would say permission denied and I can't go on further.
Any advice would be much appreciated

I would say permission denied and I can't go on further.
Any advice would be much appreciated

Why did you flash a 995 rom?

I thought it was compatible and it worked fine, until I decided to play around with it.

Oh well you play with fire ? you get burned should have waited for the LG 996 oreo release sometime in January
Do a search for patched LGUP and read carefully, it might help you get the device recognized as a 996 so you can flash the 996 kdz

I have the patched version of LGUP, when I open it. It says
Model: Unkown
Com Ports 17
When I click select "You have to select a known model"

Read through the thread I believe you have to replace a dll file so that windows will see it as 996

Really difficult to find .dll files.
I tried using UPPERCUT but only allows me to flash VS995.
