This method may cause FAILURE or HARDBRICK (as always with flashing firmware) Use at own risk.
LG Has made it harder for us to download KDZ's from their website. So now we have to glitch it out for KDZ to download.
TO INITIATE DOWNLOAD OF MIRRORED KDZ DO THIS
Click link. Refresh the page. Then your download should start after that.
If that does not work try pasting the link into this website.
Then rename the file to *.KDZ.
Or if you have Linux, you can copy the link and run wget command to download.

Please DO NOT flash a KDZ that is not meant for your model. It may lead to a hardbrick. It may flash fine but will be irreversible.
Download KDZs here (Each file can be downloaded individually, don't click the top button that says download, it downloads ALL the KDZs in that folder. It's 23 GBs! Please try not to kill my servers by downloading unnecessary files!)

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.

yeah i know that's why i was asking if you had one you had backed up before you logged into google, on another note no one else has posted "stock" recovery flashable zips and it would be helpful for people that dont have backups and have become soft bricked without having to re-root flash TWRP and unlock the bootloader.
you're a lifesaver man! Just had a new update had me stuck on bootloop.

i have the k7 AS330 unlocked version but the LG Bridge doesnt want to update it. it keep saying no internet connection. is it that i dont have internet connection on the phone or it is referring to the lg bridge software because my AS330 got messed up and WiFi and data connection doesnt work anymore

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.

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?

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:

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.

dll file missing....???
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.

( Refer here for changing this, If you can’t understand that.)
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.
LGUP_H850.dll --> Here
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.
First of All:After Flashing let me know about your experience by answering the poll, this will help me in updating this post. Also tell me about you experience in comments.

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..

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.

Thank you so much man! :good: I managed to brick my phone yesterday while trying to root it... and this just brought it back to life!!! You're my new hero... :victory:
I'm now on H83020a, looking to root. If I fail and brick it again, can I just bring it back to life with this method again?
Btw, do you have any tips on best method to root H83020a?

You are welcome.
Here is the thread I wrote to root h830 on v20a. You can try
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/how-to/guide-root-twrp-lg-g5-using-t3580264
I'm still working on it so write your experience and suggestion for the thread after trying...
And off course you can bring your phone back to life for everytime, as long as you can access that download mode.
So after following some basic instructions that i still managed to mess up
i made a complete dump on zva. which means a debrick image can be made.
if we had the needed firehose.bin we could possibly fix hard-bricks in qfil in qpst.
I'm uploading said dump to my google drive but kinda reluctant to share it in fear if u used my dump then u might also get my iemi. so once i figure that one out i will make it available to all
So i was looking around in a few of the files in my hex editor and noticed. Id have to pull it up on i think bootloader backup. That user debug is set to 0. Wonder if its modifiable to set to 1 and enable a debug bootloader
Any idea how to dump the PRL? QPST 2.7.460 crashes when I try to read the info from the phone. LGUP might be able to do it with the proper LS992 DLL, but I can't find one that works.

Interesting idea, have a link or can you go more into detail about loading a dump via SD? This is my first LG and I'm still trying to figure some things out. My Samsungs were so easy to root, flash TWRP in Odin, flash SuperSU, done.

I originally had the root shell from December but it was useless and I ended up flashing a newer KDZ file and have not been able to downgrade yet so for me that method is out and was not working and I have been looking for other options.
So far have two options. https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
UPDATE: The send_command.exe does find the phone so testing to see what happens here
UPDATE 2: Que the haters LAF got me forgot about that guys sorry. So looks like LGUP may be the only option if we can figure out how to convince it to work.
UPDATE 3: Purposely bricking your phone gets you into LAF mode. You have to stop it at 10% on a KDZ update and it will allow you to use LAF mode again.
My other option is use the "expanded" version of LGUP and flash the system partition.I have tried extracting the system partition and flashing but having trouble getting LGUP to flash .img to the system. Seems to only let you choose where to put the partition if you are using a .dz or .kdz file.
As for the SD method, I read a post about using the SD card with a dump of the phone to recover from a hardbrick. Not completely sure of the details on that.
The G5 is not currently my daily driver so am able to experiment some with it.
P.S. Disclaimer to anyone who comes across this reply looking for root. I know some about what is possible with this phone but do not quote me as fact as I can and have been wrong before

Hello, I need urgent help, I tried an unlocking service for my G5 and the person using the remote server bricked my phone. It is not stuck on download mode, I cannot even get into recovery. I don't know how to reflash this phone, I think if I had the correct .dll for the LG flash tool it would help me greatly as I could at least try to flash it. Thank you for your consideration.

Just wondering about this but is the reason the original tool posted by unmentionable names removed because it involves purposely bricking your phone? I found a forum post on the G4 about this and tried it with the G5 and I can get into LAF mode although limited on the newest bootloader version.

Okay. I posted on another forum and asked one of developers of that tool if they'd be willing to let someone try it who doesn't really care about the fact that you could brick your phone so here's hoping they'll let someone else try to finish the tool and get something working. Didn't get anywhere with the kdz method so thought I'd try stirring up the hornets nest again by asking.

I replied to jcase at the end of this post on the tmobile forum. Thought about PMing him but its supposedly taboo to ask about the tool they posted so I figured I'd see if he would reply. Any other ideas let me know. I really want to know how they got root working and if it was full root or just user debug as the full root is helpful but userdebug was not as useful.
Really hate it that someone was stupid and released it early and got them ticked off about it.
So FIRST OFF IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SOFTBRICKS HARDBRICKS,DAMAGE TO VEHICLES,BLOWN MOTORS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT!!!
ZVB And higher DO NOT ATTEMPT AS HARBRICK CAN AND WILL OCCUR
Again ZVC and ZVB. Do Not Use This Guide. There is no firmware to recover from
If you upgraded to zvb/zvc or higher when available do not use this.
You will be stuck in firmware update. No system no recovery.

I flashed the zv6 tot and kept getting an error but like said i was passing the antirollback. I think lgup doesnt like the zv6 tot. But 5 times i wiped the partitions as long as i didnt reboot and directly reflashed zv8 in the same session i was good.
And it hung the last time and i nudged my crappy usb cable like a idiot i rebooted
I am in 9008. No worries. I got my old s5 up and runnin. I think of i can fmake a debrick img just like other lgs i can boot from sd card. I put g5 in the drawer for a few days to think about it.
It's always great to be able to downgrade, but what would this be useful for? For a possible root method?

Or for people like me who had the G5 given to me flashed to Boost. I can't use it on a CDMA network unless it is flashed back to stock. They did away with the plan my friend was on... it was given to me on ZV9. Very helpful.

Thats what im working on now adapting this to the sprint g5. I got kdzs extracted gonna try a diffrent zv6 tot 1st one i got i think is a bad download.
Just been real busy to try. And i dont brick my only phone.so im not all desperate and freaking out. Thats normally why im not scrared to test stuff out. Its just a phone. Yea i loved it but i know one day even 3 or 4 years from now might be fixable.
Just throwing this out there, when I did this Google Play Services kept force closing, I uninstalled Google Play Services for Instant Apps and it stopped. Went from ZVA to ZV8 with no other problems though.

The screen shoulda never been black. Shoulda been dl mode the whole time. Plug into pc and look in devoce manager and see if its the qloader9008.
Also if it made it to 100% there shouldnt have been no issues. As the fone usually reboots when pc shows around 80 to 85% try looking to see if u can boot recovery fac reset or dl mode any more....
thank you, is there any zva to re flash it?
or how to get boot back?
when i connect it to pc in device manager only this appairs "LGE AndroidNET USB Serial Port (COM41)"
