This is for the out of the box KDZ firmware. If you took the recent OTA and updated, BEWARE. LG has been implementing a security LOCK that prevents and HARDBRICKS your device if you try to downgrade.
I know that the LG G4 will hard brick if you attempt to downgrade. There has been no reports of bricking by doing this if you previously taken the Verizon OTA update but be warned and be prepared to potentially blow up your device.
This method is specifically for those who Rooted the Stock 11A and want to revert back to stock so they CAN take the OTA. There is no confirmed method to gain root on the newer OTA firmware. So beware on that too.
I was on a Rooted 11A stock image and I just flashed the KDZ back to Stock 11A (non-rooted):

Copy everything to a folder on your desktop.
Download Mode:
POWER OFF DEVICE
Once off, press and hold VOL-UP and insert USB cable
Make sure you install "Download mode" drivers. Look in the "COM PORTS" section of device manager. You should see a "DIAG" driver on some random COM port (mine was COM6).
Launch LG Flash Tool.
First Window:
KEEP DEFAULT SETTINGS. Load the KDZ (from above) into the Flash Tool. Click CSE FLASH.
Second Window:
Just click Start
Third Window:
KEEP THE DEFAULT Language settings. The KDZ will determine the language.
And finally, just let it do its thing. I didn't have an error but it would probably be driver related. I initially saw a bunch of "?????????" in the Status (fourth) Window. That is normal. Your Tablet should display the same COM Port your DIAG driver was installed on. But just leave it alone. A full install took about 5-10minutes. I walked away and came back to the new Setup Screen.
This link doesn't seem to work anymore. Any chance you still have a copy you could upload somewhere?
Does anybody still have a copy of VK81511A_21.kdz
I have checked every link on google without any luck...
Is there any method that I can use to remove root from my VK815 tablet. I have spent the last three days trying to use the Marshmallow KDZ with LGFlashTool2014(because I cannot find the original VK81511A_21.kdz, it appears to have disappeared from the internet) I also tried using LGUP, but it will not work because you need a device specific dll for LGUP and i cannot find the vk815 dll.
I have read that the reason that LGFlashTool2014 dont work is because my KDZ file is marshmallow which flash tool does not like.
So I figure I either need a lollipop kdz file to use with flash tool, or I need the dll file for the vk815 to use with LGUP. I cannot find either on the internet, or maybe there is another way that I can remove root, I really would appreciate any help I can get.
I will use any method whatsoever if it can just remove the root, any help is greatly appreciated.
EDIT: OK to follow up, LG Flash tool 2014 will NOT work with a marshmallow image(which is all that is online at 99% of sites) I did FINALLY manage to find the original VK81511A_21.kdz file, and it DOES work with LG Flash tool 2014, I think the only way to install a marshmallow kdz is with LGUP but it requires a device specific dll, in our case the dll for VK815, which I was unable to find.
The place that I managed to find VK81511a_21.kdz was on a chinesse site wangpan114 which redirects to baidu also a chinesse site, and you have to download their download manager, and also manage to figure out how to register on a site that is not in english.
If anyone needs this kdz file just send me a private message, I plan on keep a copy on my drive.

Hey there I came across your post on the hunt for a LG VK81511A_21.kdz, I believe I have the DLL file you referenced, I'm hoping you have that kdz still? I would be extremely grateful for any assistance, thanks in advance.

Do you need a dll with a KDZ? I thought the DLL was only needed for the .TOT files?
I thought so ....
I've never used it so good question

ah, Yeah I think KDZ's you use the LGUP tool which is descriped in another thread They don't appear to need a dll for the kdz. So I believe the dll is TOT only. I could be wrong as i'm not an expert on it, but I believe that's that process.
Has anyone successfully reflash there VS995 with this KDz yet?
Im not even trying to Root my 2nd Unit until I have all GOOD
Well I managed to Get LGUP running & it picked up my phone im still Stock no Root & it fail'd at 9% for tho those's who need to know, Maybe try flashing it more then once. I also ran into a problem with LGUP not finding my device so i had to copy & paste the common folder elsewhere
Yeah I ran into the same problem. 0x2000 error. CEFS:Initalize(). Terrible!
*edit*
Ran the uppercut method (link)and was able to flash the kdz on a stock non-rooted vs995! Just with a grain of salt, uppercut is recognized as a virus by some AV, but I took the risk and checked it out and it looks like it's just a false positive because it modify's another programs files in memory... so use at your own risk!
Thanks a million everyone, I finally fixed my Lg v20 vs995! I kept having failure trying it with Uppercut, but I finally saw that I needed to install 3 files to get it to work correctly, 1st you need the kdz file: VS99512A_06_1114_ARB00.kdz, next you need to install 2 driver files, LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3_3.msi and LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.1.1.exe, and of course have UPPERCUT.exe. Finally after installing all of the correct drivers, and loading UPPERCUT, using the VS99512A_06_1114_ARB00.kdz, I finally got it to work and you have to choose "UPGRADE" in UPPERCUT, but I completely restored my phone to factory!!! What a frickn blessling, I am so happy, because I was trying for days to fix this..... and I actually threw this phone in the trash, hehehehehe, but something made be take it out of the trash an hour later, THANK GOD!
Link to the KDZ for vs995?
can anyone please direct me to the KDZ for VS995?
My LG Leon (H345) is in a bootloop, I'm able to get into download mode, I just need a KDZ file to flash to it. I've looked online for days now, and every link I find that seems should work just leads me to a blank white page? No download?? Websites that people say will get you any LG KDZ file also don't work and have no content in them. Not sure what to do at this point; would anyone happen to have a KDZ file for this phone? Any version of the firmware should work; I just want to get it working again.

My phone is a unlocked at&t h910-10q can I flash US996 Firmware on my phone so I can have a phone that does not have AT&T junk on it using kdz without root
Post a link to the KDZ that you want to flash and I will let you know if it is safe. I can't tell you if it will work, but I can at least let you know if you are going to brick your phone.
If it doesn't work, you will have to root it so that you can flash back to stock since there is no H910 KDZ.

Hey @omnixech did you used the us996 kdz?
@runningnak3d any thougs about it?
I got busy on Friday and didn't get a chance to check. I will as soon as I get to work and post the findings.
@prismk @omnixech
The US996 definitely uses the same RSA key as the H910, so you won't brick your phone. I can't tell you if it will work, and I also can't tell you what the ARB version is.
Before you flash, you need to verify from someone that has a US996 what the ARB version is for 10l. If it is greater than 0, then don't do it, because if it doesn't work you will be stuck and can't flash H910 firmware back onto your phone.
Prismk, I understand why omnixech wants to flash the KDZ -- he / she doesn't want to root their phone. You already have root, so what are you hoping to gain?
-- Brian
@runningnak3d I was scared because the us996l zip flash all partitions except recovery, but I will give a try. Thank you!
The US996 ROM have UI differences, like the carrier name (hidden) on status bar and LTE icon. I can change that on H910, but I will have to use xposed and will break magisk
safetynet.
@omnixech If you did used US996 KDZ please update this thread, if it was ok I will use this KDZ too. I won't be able to use an app that my company use because I have root
No I have not used the kdz I most likely will not it is my only phone and do not want to risk ruining it.
I just was tying to remove all the at&t junk on my phone with out have to root, I do not like the current rooting method that is available for my phone leaving that warning message during boot.
I will just leave well enough alone until a better way to root comes along or I get a new phone what ever happens first.
Guys I'm a bit late, but would any of these firmwares work on my H990DS, since I live in the US and don't use the second SIM slot or the FM radio and want the UI changes and the VoLTE

I'm currently on LGH990AT-00-V11k-GLOBAL-COM-JAN-17-2018+0, even though the about phone menu shows V10g-AME-XX (for some reason that I do not know) on my rooted H990DS. If you could please check if this would work in a flash using KDZWriter (keeping boot and the kernel the same?) or flashing the TWRP zip that another user posted, I would be very grateful.

Sorry, the H990 handles the cellular modem quite differently. If it doesn't outright brick it won't have service.. Its why there arnt any Lineage builds for it.
It work for me. Network service working in my country. Except I cant access phone information in *#*#4636#*#*
So I cant lock to specific network. Other than that it runs much smoother without those AT&T bloat.
I did a test on the latest version US99610o_01_0202.kdz and it worked perfectly fine.
Just one note, make sure you are carrier unlocked before flashing to the new KDZ variant.
The only thing I found a little bit of annoying, at least on my case, is that you can't check for updates in the phone, I keep getting the following message "Your phone is not registered yet." Although there is a workaround (just google it), my way of fixing it is by updating through LGMobile Support Tool.
Hope that helps.
So it's possible to flash a us996 rom on H910? I'd like to know because the att ui sucks.

Yes, it is possible, I did the conversion from H910 v10q to US996 v10o.
However I am not sure if further versions in the H910, the ARB is incremented, making impossible to change the firmware, however if that is the case you will be stopped when LG UP will say "anti-rollback check failed" and abort.
In this case I used the patched LG UP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/guide-patch-lgup-to-unlock-features-t3652222

Regarding the battery, I haven't found any real difference, but the ROM is way cleaner.
The way I did the conversion is doing the following:
Download the latest KDZ variant for US996: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939828249
Further versions can be found here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-us996-firmwares/
Download the patched LG UP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/guide-patch-lgup-to-unlock-features-t3652222
Make sure you install it in C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP or it will either read the wrong model file (if you had a previous installation of LG UP), or it will not be able to find the model file at all.
Put your phone into download mode (power off / hold vol. up / plug in USB cable)
Open LG UP and click the PARTITION DL radio button, pick the US996 v10o KDZ that you downloaded above, and click start. Make sure all partitions are checked.
Once it is complete, your phone should reboot into the new US996 ROM.

What is your mobile provider? Most likely LTE isn't working since your provider doesn't support the LTE bands from your device.
Was trying to flash fi firmware to an att lg v35 to try and bypass a FRP lock and it failed. Now i am stuck in download mode when i turn the phone on and can not get anywhere else. Anyone got a possible fix? Im out of ideas since i cant just flash a stock firmware.
i was almost tring to do the same job on my att v35 locked... I don't know how to help you but your attempt stop me to proceed with it.
or you may try to flash a different kdz? Or I knew about the lg bridge... does it have a recovery option?...it should.

It may or may not work, it works with the G6 and V20, I’m not sure about V35. But it said it might.
I hoped this works for ya! Check your PM, too.

Hi just saw your post and I have an AT&T V35 too so this should help:
1. Uninstall any prior version of LGUP currently installed.
2.Head to Post #18 at https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/lg-v35-amazon-project-fi-t3819470/page2
3. Download the ' V35_lgup_modded.zip' ; Unzip & install, then ensure the .dll file is also copied to the COMMON folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\common)
-If there's no COMMON folder, create one.
4.Shut down the phone completely(phone should also be unplugged), then get into download mode (With phone off,hold down the UP Volume button and connect the phone to your PC while still holding down the UP button) and release the UP button once you see 'Download Mode' on the display.
5.Now, there's no V35 AT&T Kdz file available online so the next best option is to use the Google-Fi kdz you tried earlier; So launch LGUP & select the Kdz file .
6. Next choose the UPGRADE option and flash.
7. Hopefully, that should bring your phone back to life and if not, try again with the REFURBISH option(will wipe user data etc.)
8.Lastly and very important, though you may be tempted to mess around with additional LGUP options such as PARTITION DL etc.; Remember the V35 is still relatively new & has low support so be careful - So far, cross-flashing seems to be fine except for Korean Kdz files but flashing partitions WILL currently cause you to lose either your IMEI/Serial Number or Both.
Cheers

Wanted to thank you to for the info. Am now using the Google Fi rom on my v350awm without a problem. And the beauty of it is, no bloatware.
Again thanks
Google Fi Rom/Kdz
As I posted previously, I successfully restored V350ULM10f_00_NAO_US_OP_0913.kdz to my carrier unlocked V350AWM (AT&T model) using the modded LGUP. Now my thought was that this was the Google Fi rom that comes on the Google version of LG V35. and I know for fact that this rom doesn't have any of the AT&T bloatware that comes on the AT&T LG V35.. When booting I no longer see the AT&T logo, just the LG logo. But the interesting thing is when I check the software version it shows V350AWM10f which seems to say that I really still have the AT&T ROM but the AT&T Bloatware and logo have been stripped out.
Thoughts?

Hi just saw your post and I have an AT&T V35 too so this should help:
1. Uninstall any prior version of LGUP currently installed.
2.Head to Post #18 at https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/lg-v35-amazon-project-fi-t3819470/page2
3. Download the ' V35_lgup_modded.zip' ; Unzip & install, then ensure the .dll file is also copied to the COMMON folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\common)
-If there's no COMMON folder, create one.
4.Shut down the phone completely(phone should also be unplugged), then get into download mode (With phone off,hold down the UP Volume button and connect the phone to your PC while still holding down the UP button) and release the UP button once you see 'Download Mode' on the display.
5.Now, there's no V35 AT&T Kdz file available online so the next best option is to use the Google-Fi kdz you tried earlier; So launch LGUP & select the Kdz file .
6. Next choose the UPGRADE option and flash.
7. Hopefully, that should bring your phone back to life and if not, try again with the REFURBISH option(will wipe user data etc.)
8.Lastly and very important, though you may be tempted to mess around with additional LGUP options such as PARTITION DL etc.; Remember the V35 is still relatively new & has low support so be careful - So far, cross-flashing seems to be fine except for Korean Kdz files but flashing partitions WILL currently cause you to lose either your IMEI/Serial Number or Both.
Cheers

I just got a chance to try this today and it worked awesome. Thank you! Now I have no bloatware on the phone, and managed to get past a Frp bypass. Now I just need at&t to unlock the device and I will be good to go!

As I posted previously, I successfully restored V350ULM10f_00_NAO_US_OP_0913.kdz to my carrier unlocked V350AWM (AT&T model) using the modded LGUP.

True, after flashing, the software version under 'Settings' does not change to reflect the Google Fi update. This is simply a minor labelling error for now but the important thing is that the update is successful as evidenced by the lack of Carrier bloatware/logo. You can actually verify the fact that you are no longer running an AT&T ROM by trying to update via LG Bridge & it should say there's no available AT&T update.

You are welcome, glad I could help & major thanks to
"metal409" for sharing the modded LGUP in the first place.

I;m gonna have to agree with you as I just installed the latest (just out) version of the Fi Rom, V350ulm10h which can be found here: lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/17590/V350ULM10h_00_NAO_US_OP_1130.kdz
After installing, my software version is now showing V350awm10h, again indicating that I still have the AT&T Rom.

Hi Yall,
I'm in this same predicament. I've already disabled most of the AT&T Bloatware .... but I'm still super annoyed at the lack of updates (ATT will only let you get OTA updates if you are on their network, my phone is currently unlocked with an unlocked code and on the T-mobile network)
Are there any other benefits to flashing to the Google Fi version other than debloating? Any chance of VOLTE working? or band 71?
Will the annoying carrier branding on the top of the status bar disappear?
