[Guide] LG G3 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ & TOT Method With LGUP
LGUP Video Guide - Thanks to @KiaTheKing !
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPKcuYwDoxY
NEW LGUP Method. This one method can do BOTH TOT & KDZ!! Thanks To @shakeyabooti![/U][/B] Suggested use for the D855 ONLY! Other models use the previous methods.
Notes: This method is REQUIRED for flashing MM KDZ files downgrade from MM or upgrade to MM you must use this new method. Old KDZ method you cannot downgrade from MM.
Download Files - LGUP_LG_G3.zip - 16.9 Mb
KDZ & TOT files Here - http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/
This is the NEW KDZ Method for the LG G3!!! Thanks to @shakeyabooti !!
shakeyabooti said:
NEW software!!!!!...... LGUP WILL FLASH YOUR KDZ files
Download LGUP from here: http://oceanhost.eu/545euinlq0hw/LGUP_LG_G3.zip.htm
Install LGUP_8994_DLL first and then LGUP
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 G3, 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.

Hi there! Wonder if you could assist me. I don't have the stock video application to view my movies on my LG G3. Could you please guide me on how to get that application apk and odex file installed on my device?
Many thanks
Too bad HKG version of the rom (D855) is not available as yet, hope this will be available soon.
Many thanks for your hard work on consolidation.
I bought an F400L, but it seems that the Honk Kong shop I bought it from has flashed it with a F400K rom (presumably because it has less bloatware), I am a noob and am wondering if they had to root it to do this (and how do I find out if my phone is still rooted) and if I will still be able to do an official over the air update when LG releases one?

Hi, I may just be having a brain fart, but I get lost when I get to these steps:
10) MAKE SURE UNDER, DEVICE MANAGER, YOUR PORT IS SET TO COM 41 FOR YOUR DEVICE.
11) Click the DLL box and choose the dll file from above for you phone model.
10) I'm assuming the device manager is the window underneath the flash tool window? If so, I can't access that window until I'm done with the one on top (the Select Manual Mode window).
11) Since this is a KDZ file, what are the appropriate steps?
Thank you!

I just purchased a LG V20 for $150, but it has one problem. It says Firmware Update now waiting for any connection. It has an error code or something below it with 633A B50. I can only go into a few of the boot menues. I can't turn on ADB, and i can't access recovery or download mode. WHAT CAN I DO, PLEASE HELP.

If it says Firmware Update, then you are in download mode. If you have pretty much anything other than an AT&T, or Sprint model, you should be able to get a KDZ or use LG Bridge. If there is no KDZ for your phone, then it is a brick.

It is the sprint ls997 variant so no .kdz file as of currently. ADB is not connecting, but i can get LGUP with uppercut to recognize the device in download mode. I don't believe the boot loader is unlocked, but is there anyway i could use LGUP to push a .kdz file for a different variant (I tried the Verizon variant and it failed because it recognized i was trying the wrong variant) which would allow me to boot into a OS and turn on debugging and from there use Dirty Santa? Basically is there anyway to let LGUP push the wrong .kdz variant?
Have you tried the LG Flash tool? I know there are some patches that will allow it to flash without checking the model. Since you have a brick already, you have nothing to lose. If it were me, I would try every V20 KDZ that is out there in the hopes that one of them would boot. If you can get it to boot, then you can use dirty santa, and you will have a working phone again. On the plus side -- you got a great deal for $150.00. You can always hop on Ebay and find a system board to swap in.

I am having this trouble too. but i bricked mine trying to root it
there was a post on lg viet forums where they converted a ls997 to a Korean model, it had no service but after flashing the sprint modem,it worked perfectly. just look for patched lgup first.

Do you mean this? My LGUP never worked even before brick, so I already had to use this patched exe and dll file to even roll back to older firmware for dirty santa root in the first place.
Now after running step3.bat and flashing saved aboot img, the phone is locked out if recovery and download mode shows 633A B50 and patched LGUP / DLL no longer recognise device. Uppercut also doesn't recognise device. LG Flash 2014 also failed so did LG Bridge

well i can get into download mode, but there is error 633A B50 which stop it from doing much useful
i can also launch into fastboot, though it's locked and fastboot flash commands no longer work
Actual model is ls997 but i flashed vs995 kdz with ls997 modem everything worked fine.Just very crappy battery life so i decided to flash a us996 rom. but it was not just a rom but the full us996 kdz twrp flashable without the recovery.I figured this as i was flashing in twrp it showed flashing laf and all other partitions.So now it doesn't even boot to any recovery or boot at all.but i still have unlocked bootloader and can get into download mode.Though lgup keeps saying "unknown model, US996".Im sure i can just flash vs995 kdz again since there is no ls997 kdz but lgup wont let me in lol.is there any way to bypass this unknown model pop up? or can i use flash tool or something.

ok so i tried lg flash tool and using the us996 kdz or vs995 kdz it start the download and just 2 secs in it say 0x0000 " kdz name here not support ".I'm using the lgup dll that comes with the kdz for the lg flash tool.also in fastboot none of the flashing or erase commands work, just say phone locked or something.i think ive done f**cked this phone.Damn i should have known that twrp zip flashes every partition...
lg mobile support tool says ls997 but the firmwire is like us996q or something.Lg bridge can't even connect to the device.

thanks for the reply Brian.
i thought i have the patched one, i downloaded it from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/guide-patch-lgup-to-unlock-features-t3652222
but i wont even open because it says "you have to select a known model, please" " when i select unknown model,US996COM41" and if i try without any phone connected, it asks to select a model.So it does detect it just not correctly.Is there a way to patch it to bypass model selection?
I think the lg flash tool i have (1.8.x.x) is out of date for v20 that's why it may be failing download once it reaches "preareafterdload Download".Though the other version 2.0.1.6 or something fails to load at all.correct me if im wrong.
FOUND the fix.Used lg flash tool (1.8.x.x) but instead of using the dll from kdz i used the lg g5 dll provided in this fourm:https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/how-to/bring-lg-g5-to-life-download-mode-lgup-t3565508
and is flashed just fine!!

Actual model is ls997 but i flashed vs995 kdz with ls997 modem everything worked fine.Just very crappy battery life so i decided to flash a us996 rom. but it was not just a rom but the full us996 kdz twrp flashable without the recovery.I figured this as i was flashing in twrp it showed flashing laf and all other partitions.So now it doesn't even boot to any recovery or boot at all.but i still have unlocked bootloader and can get into download mode.Though lgup keeps saying "unknown model, US996".Im sure i can just flash vs995 kdz again since there is no ls997 kdz but lgup wont let me in lol.is there any way to bypass this unknown model pop up? or can i use flash tool or something.

thanks for the reply Brian.
i thought i have the patched one, i downloaded it from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/guide-patch-lgup-to-unlock-features-t3652222
but i wont even open because it says "you have to select a known model, please" " when i select unknown model,US996COM41" and if i try without any phone connected, it asks to select a model.So it does detect it just not correctly.Is there a way to patch it to bypass model selection?
I think the lg flash tool i have (1.8.x.x) is out of date for v20 that's why it may be failing download once it reaches "preareafterdload Download".Though the other version 2.0.1.6 or something fails to load at all.correct me if im wrong.
FOUND the fix.Used lg flash tool (1.8.x.x) but instead of using the dll from kdz i used the lg g5 dll provided in this fourm:https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/how-to/bring-lg-g5-to-life-download-mode-lgup-t3565508
and is flashed just fine!!

1st Step: select LGUPc.dll extracted from H910PR kdz and selected .kdz file. It failed because model mismatch (H910 vs H910PR (I have Lineage 15.1 for H910 installed)
2nd step: select H850 dll and select extracted H910PR .dz file > It failed right within 1 second
I'll try flashing H910_10r full firmware through TWRP and see if I have any luck with the phone to flash back to H915 again....
Mine cannot booting, always bootloop.
I try to flash via LGUP and UPPERCUT there's unknown model, so i cannot proceed.
I try to LGFlasfhTool 1.8.x.x with several dll, from extract kdz or from the latest LGUP_commond.dll the latest one, i try many dll, but its say download failed after 4% or sometimes it's say to many partitions and then error download failed.
I try to boot in factory reset mode (power + volume down), after doing factory reset (pressing YES twice) only LG logo appeared.
I was try to using fastboot mode, but I cannot run fastboot boot twrp.img its say <waiting devices>
Now my LGV20 (US996) cannot boot up normally, it's only can boot in download mode, factory reset and bootloader mode.
Anyone can help, plz.
Thanks before
If you have the correct version of TWRP, rename it to "twrp.exe". From a powered off phone hold volume DOWN and plug-in USB cable. Issue the following command from a prompt in the same folder that contains TWRP:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Reboot to recovery (Vol down, hold and release power), choose "yes" twice and wait a few seconds for a reboot into TWRP.

not much actual help, but fastboot boot doesn't work on ANY v20 models. you have to actually flash it and THEN boot into it.
UsU Removal and Unbricking Method for ARB 02 Devices
WARNING: THIS METHOD IS FOR DEVICES ON ARB=2 **ONLY**!!!!!
ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR DEVICE FOR FOLLOWING YOUR GUIDE, IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU'RE DEVICE IS BRICKED DURING THIS GUIDE!
INFO:
While trying to fix my bricked LG G4 VS986, I accidentally figured out a method to fix a stuck on bootscreen firmware, and at the same time, remove UsU. Unfortunately, after messaging back and forth with SteadFasterX, he confirmed that this method will only work on ARB=2 LG G4's, Meaning that models H815, H812, H818, H819, F500 Will not work, and NEVER WILL WORK, at least not with this method.
That being said, your warranty is obviously already void if you have UsU, and if you don't, WHY ARE YOU HERE lol
Also, if you have a frankenstein device (device labeled and shown as a certain model, with a different model motherboard), I have no idea if this guide will work for you, although it did for my frankenstein device, at the loss of cell service. But no guarantees!
So lets get right into it!
REQUIREMENTS:
- UsU Bootloader Unlocked LG G4
- Your device must have a firmware available (doesn't have to be currently installed) with an ARB value of 2 ... Anything else, and your device WILL brick
- Patience and the understanding that if you brick your device, it IS NOT my fault
REQUIRED DOWNLOADS
- TOT file for YOUR device model (not our gpt compatible model, your model under the battery model)
You can find some tot files here (make sure you select the TOT FILE, not the kdz, or else this guide will not work): TOT Files
Or if you have the verizon variant, you can use the file i used, here
And if you can't stand the slow download speeds, look up Fshare premium link generator on google, and I never said that, mods (XD)
- LGUP and UPPERCUT tool (BOTH REQUIRED!!!)
You can download LGUP and the UPPERCUT tool from here
- QFIL and RESTORE FILES (I know, calm down)
You will need to download, as well as install, the qualcomm drivers, and a few unbrick firehose files, both of which can be found here
INSTALLATION:
Step 1:
Download and Extract the RAR file for your ORIGINAL (not GPT compatible) G4 model. For me, it was the VS986. I recommend you make a folder on your desktop, and extract all the files you download right to the root of it.
Step 2:
Download and extract the LGUP and UPPERCUT tool from the above Google Drive link, making sure to install the dll .msi installer, and then the LGUP setup.
Step 3:
Extract the UPPERCUT tool and navigate to the UPPERCUT.exe file extracted. Connect your phone in download mode by powering it down, then holding volume up while plugging the phone into your computer. Open the UPPERCUT.exe file, and wait for LGUP to show up
Step 4:
In the list of options below the list of connected devices, make sure that "PARTITION DL" is selected. Find the line below the list of options that says bin file. Double-click it, and select the TOT file you downloaded earlier. Click "Start", and when a window with a list of partitions appears, just tick "Select All" and click "OK"
Step 5:
The firmware should flash. If it throws an error out at you, double check that you selected "Partition DL", and that you have the LG Mobile USB drivers installed on your computer.
Once it is done flashing, your phone will be in a bricked state. DO NOT WORRY!!! We will fix this next
Step 6:
Your phone should go into Qualcomm HSUSB Dloader 9008 Mode after the flash is complete. This is what is SUPPOSED to happen, and means things are going in the direction they should be going in the process. Read on
Step 7:
Now download the QFIL files from the download link above. Extract them to the folder previously created on the desktop. Install the "INSTALL FIRST - DRIVERS.exe" file, then reboot your computer. Navigate to the "QFIL" folder, in the same directory as the file you just installed. Run "QFIL.exe", NOT AS ADMINISTRATOR, ELSE YOU WILL FAIL, and make sure your port is showing at the top. If it is not, click "select port", and click on the Qualcomm 9008 port, and click "ok". Under "Select Build Type", click "Flat Build".
Step 8:
Under "Select Programmer", click browse, and navigate to the "Unbrick LG G4 QFIL" folder in the same directory as the QFIL folder you extracted, and select the "prog_emmc_firehose_8992_lite.mbn" file. Then, under "Download", click "Load XML", and just click the first file in the window that pops up for each XML file it asks for (should be "rawprogram0.xml" first, and "patch0.xml" second). Once you select those files, click download. Wait for it to finish, it may take up to two minutes.
Step 9:
Once its done, you should see the LG logo on your device's display. Do not do anything, including moving the device, just to be safe, until you see the android setup screen. Once you see the android setup screen, your device may get stuck on "checking connection", just wait two minutes until the skip button appears, and you'll be good. If you want, you can now flash an official KDZ file for your device, as there may be some mods done to some of those TOT files, as I am not the creator of them.
Step 10:
That's it, you're done! Once you get to the setup screen, you are on your device's original firmware, and your bootloader is once again locked. If you found this guide helpful, consider thanking me and donating to me via paypal by clicking here

did you use the UPPERCUT tool to open LGUP, rather than using the regular lgup shortcut? That's the only way to make the PARTITION DL option appear. Make sure you also have installed the lgup dll .msi setup program before running uppercut. let me know how it goes
there are dangerous and non- trustable qfil files on web be carefull your devices my convert to ls991 or f500l!! (because mine was before)and never back to network connection again

Actually the files you posted have some KMS threats, according to my AV sw anyway.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73051003&postcount=32 allows me to have a patched dev Lgup. I even do not need to do anything to unbrick! It was not bricked and I was back to the rooted stock LP, unUsUed in 1 step, using the patched LGUP dev and your tot file, flashed using Partition DL, well at least it worked for my VS986.
using uppercut all i have is the 4 normal settings . If i patch the dll i get the rest but lgup.dll .0.3.2 will not finish flashing stops at 16% (boot). reinstall lgup and extract Lg-up.dll .0.0 .4 from vs9862ba.kdz, lg up flashes fine with the 4 settings but when patch is applied it states *unknown .dll version*.
help please

It is way deeper than that, what you have to do is download the firmware, extract it into a folder then flash all the key components via adb, that worked for me.
flashed the VS98613B_Fix_Global_by_Lamlazy .tot it did not brick my device .. simply installed and powered on...
If i understand. qfil files for F500 available??
So it means F500 can be un unlocked right?
post #5 says device may converted to ls991 or f500.
I think that F500 is still non fusing device even after USU. So it can flash ARB 0 KDZs. I'm bit confused???

Never ever mess with qfil unless you understand fully the technical details about how this tool is working and how ****ing dangerous it is to use it. There are no valid files for your model available so even when they are named for the f500 I can't say it often enough do not use it! Also as already said in the other thread your device arb and non fusing has nothing to do with the model number as it's not that easy.
You can unlock your device by UsU and when you have a fusing device like 90% have than you can't relock afterwards
Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA Labs
after relocking using this method can re-usu-unlock be achieved again ?
