[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!

How to Root LG G5 and Install Latest TWRP Recovery - European Edition

TeamWin now officially supports the newly announced LG G5 and you can install the Latest TWRP custom recovery on it easily with this detailed tutorial. TeamWin recently gave there phenomenal custom recovery a major revamp. The new additions included a totally new design philosophy with new color schemes inspired by Material Design, newer code based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow and a lot of bug fixes. It is absolutely amazing seeing the developer community put out support for new phones this quickly.
You can follow this guide to unlock the bootloader of your LG G5. If you have successfully unlocked the bootloader of your LG G5, you should be waiting for a method to root your device. Here is a step by step guide to Install TWRP and Root your LG G5.
NOTE: This TWRP Recovery is Only for LG G5 H850 Europian Models. Please don't try this with any other LG G5 variant.
Step-by-Step Instructions :
Step 1 : Download Android SDK from the official Android Developers website and install it in your computer.
All Download Links I have Posted here : Download Now
Step 2 : Download the Latest SuperSU Zip file and paste into your phone internal storage (not in any folder) in order to root your LG G5.
Step 3 : Download Latest TWRP Recovery to your computer and rename it to 'twrp' and save it in your desktop by making a folder. (Folder name should be LGG5 for this tutorial)
Windows users will need proper drivers installed on your computer. You can try the Naked ADB drivers or the Universal ADB drivers if you don't already have a working driver installed
Step 4 : On your device, go into Settings -> About and find the Build Number and tap on it 7 times to enable developer settings. Press back and go into Developer Options and enable USB debugging.
Step 5 : Connect your LG G5 to your computer using a USB cable and from your computer, open a command prompt and type:
adb reboot bootloader
You should now be in fastboot mode. Download the correct image file from the above link and save it in your desktop by making a folder. (Folder name should be LGG5 for this tutorial)
Step 6 : Open the Folder from your Desktop now where you have TWRP Image file and on Windows: Open Command Prompt (Shift + Right-click > Open Command Prompt). For Mac OS X and Linux, use Terminal to navigate to this directory.
Step 7 : Type in the following command and press Enter :
fastboot flash recovery ./Desktop/LGG5/twrp.img
Step 8 : When finished, again type the following command and press Enter :
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Step 9 : Once completed, switch off your phone by pressing power button for 10 second. After that, Press and hold Volume down button and the Power button simultaneously. You will see the LG logo on the screen. Let go of the power button then quickly and press it again (never letting go of volume down).
Keep holding until you see the Factory Reset screen. Click through the factory reset screens, clicking Yes.
That’s it! You should now be in the Latest TWRP Recovery on LG G5 from where you can choose whatever function you want to perform.
How to Install SuperSU zip to Root LG G5 :
Step 10 : Once you are in TWRP home, select ‘Install’ button. From the list, choose the SuperSU Zip file that you copied to your phone memory in Step 2.
Step 11 : Confirm installation on the next screen by swiping on the “Swipe to Confirm Flash” option. The installation procedure should start now.
Step 12 : Tap on the “Wipe cache/dalvik” button if you get into any boot loops or other issues.
Step 13 : You can now reboot your phone by selecting the “Reboot System” button.
Hurrah! Your LG G5 is now Rooted and TWRP Installed. Check with any root checker app to verify your rooting status.

[UsU] [G4] UsU Removal and Relock TOT Method

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

Im still in Lineage 13.1 on my LG G4 H815....but i see in many threads since nougat version the devs are still long battling to get a functional the Bluetooth on any LG G4 with nougat&Pie versions.....So the real questions and important to everyone: Actually 17/12/2018 its working the bluetooth in LG4 with any Nougat&Pie version? Its fixed or Not?Are stable or nightly the lineage os you are offering here in this thead?If you say the lineage os are nightly builds and bluetooth doesnt work in Nougat&Pie versions...well i will stay in lineage 13.1 MM and i dont like nightly builds...sure i know its outdated&insecure but its stable and offering working and no broken bluetooth.I can pair my two bluetooth gamesir gamepad with no trouble.Please confirm those questions and reply it.Thank you and waiting for the reply.

I dont understand the requirements, headings says "LG G4 h815 any version" but your requirents say "only for LG815". Mine is LG815TR, and it is an locked bootloder device. Is it possible for me to use the tutorial?

Hi,
after extensive search I didn't find any threads talking of h815TR.
Don't flash it ... or at your own risks (and share the results with us).
Sorry.

All h815 are the same. The h815TR must be unlocked by UsU though but then it is able to run every h815 ROM

Hi,
thx a lot for your help.
Why unlock with UsU and not unlock the bootloader from LG website ?

just try it on the official website. you will see then why:
only the international model will be accepted but it doesn't hurt to try it anyways as sometimes devices are frankensteins and so even when it looks like a h815tr it is possible that this is not true (motherboard changed).

Your model is h815TR ? or other h815** ?
If H815, go ahead.
If other H815 variant, as @steadfasterX said, you can unlock your phone but you have to follow a tutorial that uses UsU.
I'll update my tuto tomorrow.

Hi, I am really confused by this part of your guide:
###Make sure you have latest LG LG4 official updates installed
Bootloader and modem must be V20A
Just want to make sure you don't mean V29A?
I currently have V20g-EUR--XX, Anti-Rollback value is 0.
Do I need to go to first to V29A as per
[GUIDE] Upgrade H815 Locked-BootLoader to Official Android 7.0 v29A
or to the (really outdated) V20A as per
[STOCK] H815 20A Images + Flashables + KDZ system + boot + modem + bootloader
or anything else?

Hi, I forgot to write Bootloader must be >= 20A. So you can go ahead and share your experience with me.
I'll update tuto.
Thx

Thank you for the prompt reply and for your careful guide!
What I did (I had already an officially unlocked LG G4 H815 International).
First of course back up my current ROM with TWRP.
Boot to recovery (TWRP), wipe everything.
Update to V29A by installing LG-H815_Official_v29A.zip, reboot
Boot, do the minimal setup, then enable developer mode and USB debugging
Copy (not move!) twrp-3.2.3-0-g4.img from your package to SDcard, then flash TWRP again from PC using adb:
adb reboot booloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-g4.img
(the above failed initially with with the message FAILED (command write failed (Invalid argument), so I did fastboot reboot-bootloader and repeated the flashing procedure)
From there on followed your guide exactly (I used ator_thepiguy_lineage-14.1-20190408-UNOFFICIAL-h815.zip)
Afterwards installed Magisk Manager 7.1.2 (Magiskmanager dot com) and flashed Magisk 19.1 using TWRP.
Rebooted, downloaded and activated the VIPER4Android module.
Everything works fine, I'm now a happy Lineage OS user!

Updated tutorial for Android 8.1 or 9.
Updated pack in consequence.

Did T-Mobile Device Unlock on my H811 so I was able to skip the LG website part, did the rest of it using adb.exe push bringing files over to /external_sd/, got it running twrp-3.3.1 and Lineage 15.1, not bad. Thanks for your post!

First of all, thank you for this post, everything worked like a charm besides a little problem, there's no connection when enabling mobile data. Wi-fi is fine. Is there anyone who ran into a similar problem after the upgrade? Thanks.
