[Q] Cannot install any rom / cannot restore to stock (T-Mobile D801)

Long story short, I deleted my backup rom (Don't ask Please cause I already know)
I am running TWRP 2.6.3.2 and it does NOT let me install any rom (4.3 or 4.4) I constantly get the error (Error executing updater binary in zip) for every rom zip I have downloaded.(AOKP)(PA)(CM 11) etc...
I've tried the Return to stock guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 in General Discussion, and I consistently get stuck @ 49% when restoring the firmware.
I also cannot get the LG Mobile support tool to download a new firmware for the phone itself.
I do have access to sideload via TWRP but it is useless because every rom gives me an error.
Do I have any options left or do I just call it a week and enjoy my $600 paper weight?
Please any help would be much appreciated!

Can you get into download mode? If so, the LG Mobile Launcher should work. Make sure you have the latest drivers downloaded from LG. It should also be in the thread about using the Mobile Launcher. I couldn't get it to work at first because I didn't install the latest drivers. Just plugging in the phone to your PC won't do it. Also, if you do get it to work, the firmware that will be installed will be d80110g, not d80110c that came with the phone. There is no info about this version other than the thread I started about it. Code Hustler tweaked ioroot to root this version and it is in the thread. Just search "T-Mobile software update" in the general section if you do get it installed. Good luck!

Sideload the latest twrp recovery and then pick your rom and retry make sure you are correctly wipeing systen dalvik and chache

Whenever I try to use the upgrade, it never even asks me for my IMEI , it says stuck displaying: Downloading software, but it never downloads anything. It could be a driver issue. There is just so many links on here maybe I really haven't installed the correct drivers??
Any links to drivers that works would be very nice if possible!

I cant post outside links, but go to google and search d801 usb driver and download it from lg site
Try install and tell me if it solved your problem.. Otherwise ill help you getting it solved.
ill keep an eye on this post..

Problem Resolved / My Solution
Okay, after 12+ hours of trying every method possible on XDA I finally resolved my issue. I will update the first post just incase any others care or fall into the same dilemma I was in.
The LG Mobile Support tool would not download the firmware and it would NOT ask me for my IMEI to download it either.
So my solution....
***
Installed LG Mobile Support Tool then Installed the LG Drivers.
BEFORE I connected the phone to the computer. I opened the LG Mobile support tool clicked (Options on the top right).
When the dropped down opened, I clicked the (Upgrade Recovery) option. THEN, is when the prompt opened to ask me what my IMEI is.
Before I entered my IMEI, I connected my phone to the computer, then proceeded to enter my IMEI and hit OK.
This is when the LG Mobile Support tool SUCCESSFULLY downloaded the latest official LG firmware and installed it.
*** BE AWARE, with the phone connected to the PC, the prompt NEVER appeared to enter my IMEI.
*** But with the phone disconnected, the prompt came up every time. This might be the trick for some people.
*** with the IMEI prompt opened, I then connected the phone , entered the IMEI, then hit OK. BOOM HERPES....
Well I'll polish this up more later. I hope this works for every LG G2 Variant and not just the T-Mobile one (D801)
-Esteef

Well, good to hear that your phone works again... I see CM nightly has some TWRP install script in lastest build, and a TWRP version for CM 10.2 and CM11...

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:

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

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.

dll file missing....???

New Firmware 5.0.0-RU1.1.99

You can find it here: ftp://fw.ydevices.com/YotaPhone2/Firmwares/RU/
Install either via OTA update if you're already on the 1.87 RU ROM like I am. On my device it first wanted to install the update only, about 67MB, but it failed to install; then the next time I checked for updates after reboot through the settings update menu, it downloaded the full file, about 0,99 GB. Then the update went all the way through. SuperSU is lost on the way, I will try if it still works through the recovery installation.
You can also install through Yotaflasher like it's explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3247356
Didn't have time to test things out, but it's still Lollipop 5.0, so only bugfixes and some new yotapanel features I guess.
Enjoy!

Thanks for that muchly dude, hadn't checked that for a while.
Update seems to be stability improvements, power efficiency improvements and some yotamirror and panel improvements and features.
Its not 5.1, but it's an update, I'll take it.
And yeah, super glad moved to the RU ROM. Backing up now, will OTA flash update once that's done. SuperSU has been flashable everytime after an update so far so fingers crossed.

All up and running .
I was rooted, running RU 1.87 with TWRP - phone handled it all just fine - downloaded OTA, pressed install - it went to TWRP > flashed stock recovery back over itself > rebooted and installed.
Phone booted up, all working fine. Lost root - simple reboot and flash the SU.zip had sitting there from the last update. Cache and Dalvik wiped for good measure.
Reboot and all is well and back to normal but with a few improvements, lovely.
About as easy as it's even been done really.
Hope everyone else gets to enjoy the update through similarly smooth procedures .

Yeah, I ended up doing a fresh installation plus rooting, everything smooth. I'm never too sure what an update leaves behind.
It's really a great device, hopefully they'll keep updating things for a while. Of course version 6.0 would be welcomed... Apparently, by the numbering they use, next step would be either 1.2.xx with Android 5.1 or 2.x.xx with 6.0. Let's see.

Fair play, I toyed with idea of it, but was fresh from last install and honestly don't have the time to set everything up again.
My hope is they take all their good ideas from this and can at least join someone else in making a great device.
Saw a working bendy phone the other day, lets you turn pages on reading app by bending corner as you would a book etc. I thought if that could be combined with yota tech, then you have damn near the perfect tablet.
Honestly I don't think we'll get 5.1, let alone 6.0. They're refining their ideas in prep for Yotaphone 3, that and the possible tablet are their main focus right now.
Interestingly, the update flashed it's stock recovery over twrp - someone prepared for the possibility of root owners this time around. So they are still paying attention .

So any idea what's the difference between the EU and the RU rom? I mean there has to be some reason they are two separate roms.

To answer my own question: there isn't too many differences between EU and RU roms. I did a diff between the RU1.1.59 and EU1.1.60, and out of 2092 files, roughly 1900 of the files inside system.img were identical. The APKs were slightly different, but only slightly. So probably the difference comes from some differently named resources.
The RU version also has some additional apps which the EU version does not have, such as Esquire, Questions, Strelka and Vector. These are probably the main reason why they have different ROMs. They might only work in Russia.

FYI the difference is essentially the product package configuration (app bundles that are pre-loaded) but there are also some differences between the resources used for the stock apps. One in particular (my personal fav ) is the dialler - the RU variant includes cyrillic characters regardless of language/locale setting (feature). The EU will give you a regular english-only dialler if you're using english locale settings

You can find it here: ftp://fw.ydevices.com/YotaPhone2/Firmwares/RU/
Install either via OTA update if you're already on the 1.87 RU ROM like I am. On my device it first wanted to install the update only, about 67MB, but it failed to install; then the next time I checked for updates after reboot through the settings update menu, it downloaded the full file, about 0,99 GB. Then the update went all the way through. SuperSU is lost on the way, I will try if it still works through the recovery installation.
You can also install through Yotaflasher like it's explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3247356
Didn't have time to test things out, but it's still Lollipop 5.0, so only bugfixes and some new yotapanel features I guess.
Enjoy!

numerous guides and how to's in this forum and across XDA, as well as google.
download fastboot + adb > boot to download mode > flash twrp via fastboot commands > boot into twrp > flash zip.
There's obviously more to it than that, up to you to do the research.

i'm using this post as a minimalistic guide for myself (so i keep it up with my "discoveries" )
and ofc for been helped by everyone who wants to help me because i am completely new to android world cause this is my first android phone ever!
so.. let's get started!
i downloaded [TOOL] [WINDOWS] ADB, Fastboot and Drivers - 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3
version 1.4.3 doesnt works for me so i downloaded the 1.3 as suggested and worked.
then i enabled the download mode following the procedure:
Turn off the phone, then press and hold the volume down key + the power key at the same time. This should boot you into download mode.

note: phone MUST be disconnected form pc to be turned off.

*is installing TWRP a mandatory step?
EDIT: the answer is NO. it seems that the mandatory part is to unlock the bootloader (the bad part for the warranty.. and that can erase ur data..) and this can be done following this guide How to Install TWRP Recovery on YotaPhone 2 untill point 6 included - which i am reporting here for easy of use.
How to Install TWRP Recovery on YotaPhone 2 said:
How to Flash TWRP Recovery on YotaPhone 2
1 - Setup ADB and Fastboot on your Windows PC.
2 - Enable USB debugging from developer options on your YotaPhone 2.
3 - Connect it to PC with a USB cable, if it asks for debugging authorization, permit it.
4 - Go to the folder where you downloaded the TWRP recovery image from the download link above on your PC and open a command window inside that folder by doing “Shift + Right click” on any empty white space inside the folder, then select “Open command window here”.
5 - (Skip this if your bootloader is already unlocked) Now to unlock the bootloader, type in the following command:
└ Beware that unlocking the bootloader may wipe your phone’s data. Make sure to backup first before proceeding.
adb reboot bootloader

Click to collapse
└ This will reboot your phone to bootloader mode
fastboot oem unlock

└ This will unlock bootloader on your device.
6 - Now if your phone has rebooted and is no longer in the bootloader mode, then boot it back into bootloader mode with the “adb reboot bootloader” command.

i already downloaded yotaflasher and the last RU firmware 5.0.0-RU1.1.99.zip
NOTE: Russian firmware seems to contain English language. i dont know how to change it later to the favorite one.
NOTE: you need to move the firmware files to the same location as the Flasher tool. Default one is C:\Program Files (x86)\yotaphone_flasher

Hello guys, I downloaded Lollipop from the ftp but installation fails: no MD5 file found!
I downloaded all russian versions and also the 1.6 EU version... but no way I always get this error.
I'm using TWRP 2.8.5, I guess the last one, and in the tutorials I see this version...
Does anyone know how to solve? :crying:

The info is described in various posts across the yotaphone forum. Are you rooted? If not then there also many many guides across the internet for that.
Not walking you through the whole process, sorry. We all had to learn, once you do it's all much easier.

It happens also to me...don't panic! press Volume up and the power button and when you enter in the bootloader select the downloading options, it will restart the phone with the "downloading" status
in the meanwhile with the yotaflasher select the option to downloads a firmware and try a different one. When the download is finished try to flash once again.

I placed like you the rom downloaded through website in the firmware folder and flash got wrong. I was blocked on "powered by android" logo like you.
After this almost-bricking experience, I flashed 4.4.3 downloaded all through Flasher and phone was working again.
Then I tried to substitute 5.0 system.img in the folder downloaded through Flasher but no way... after flashing phone didn't boot.
I reflashed 4.4.3 back again and now is working.
I think that we can't put files in folder for Yota Flasher...
I cannot download last 5.0 EU version, like described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/yot...ially-dead-t3312382/post65839167#post65839167

yeah i've done the same.
i founded the trick i hope
after my big mistake i have done this:
*i downloaded the last 4.4.3-S01-003-EU1.0.3.61a.zip then i flashed it. reminding to unzip it and put it in the right folder of the flasher. remind that this will delete ur data too prob.
*i checked for update on the phone in setting--> about phone --> sistem update
*it downloaded lollipop (android 5.0 Lollipop - 1Gb to download) :laugh:
*i took the 5.0.0-RU1.1.99.zip and flashed it
*u can choose english when the phone boot so dont worry about firmware to be RU
*i checked the firmware version doing the combo "Volume up and the power button" (press it while restarting)
*i changed the language of the phone in setting --> language (there is plenty of languages to choose. i choose mine, italian, but sometimes it happens to find something in english )
i downladed some app etc etc but i never used it for calls cause of the requested nano sim that i'm going to take tomorrow probably cause today i get stucked with trouble about my contacts.
hope to solve the problem for pass my contacts form my nokia N8 to yotaphone 2 quickly!

I saw also an update this morning at home on wifi (I wait for the SIM too) because yesterday I flashed the 4.4.3-S01-003-EU1.0.51a: is not the 61 like yours and I received an update alert to 4.4.3-S01-003-EU1.0.3.56. I'm at work, I'll try this evening.
I haven't updated this morning because I was downloading a previous 5.0, the EU 1.44, but when flashing I had error "cannot load firmware/system.img". So I reflashed 4.4.3... I'll try again this evening

Hello! I have 5.0!
After flashing and old version of 4.4.3 (my phone went with a 4.4.something branded Vodafone Italy, and they evidently don't give a fork about updates). With the 4.4.3 rev 1.0.51a I immediately received he update to 1.0.56a: I downloaded the 114MB, rebooted, and then got the update to 1.0.61a, around 63MB. I rebooted and then got finally the update to 5.0, 1GB :laugh:
I have only one problem now: the device doesn't recognize when I'm looking at the ink screen, and power button powers on the amoled... Even unlocking through swiping from bottom to top doesn't work. Option is correctly set, I tried to uncheck, reboot, wipe cache and check the option again but it not working well yet.

seems that is the same for a lot of people if not everyone..
cause of this problem i am using this app gravity screen on/off.
it halves the problem cause now i have no problem for the amoled. and for problem i mean use the pwer button instead of simply swipe.
for the e-ink panel i still have to use the power button, only way it works.

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.

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.

Glad I could help you! :highfive:

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.

[Guide] LG G5 Back to Life [Download mode] [LG Flash tool] [Unknown model in LGUP]

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.

Either Download files from Attachments or Use MEGA mirror
DLL for other Variants
To get dll for other models please refer here
(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.
Where I can download stock KDZ or dll for my LG Phone (other than G5)
Ans: Most LG Phone KDZs can be found at this website.

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.
