[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!

Please read the entire OP.. There's 2 different methods. 1st method is kdz. 2nd method is tot, the method you quoted is for the tot method.
EDIT3 15/08/2018 - Some links broke. I found a better way to get the files: go to this thread (RAW firmware collection) by RealYoti here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/z008-z00a-z00d-z00x-raw-fw-collection-t3448966
All the files are here and they will never expire
In case of problem I still have the files on my computer, maybe one day I will upload them myself on my web server
EDIT2 07/06/2017 - I updated links. + INFO: My ZE550ML phone bricked again, but this time with no USB logo and no vibration at boot. The only tutorial that worked for me is the one from Tech YouTubers channel (click to go to their YouTube channel). Please check their tutorials, in case they made a new one. Try multiple tutorials, for me only an older one worked: this one! (during the video tutorial, I was somehow blocked after flashing img files: black screen. But, I managed to run my own guide again, and this time it worked! The video says to flash ZE551ML xFSTK file on ZE550ML device, and flash ZE550ML xFSTK file on ZE551ML device. It allowed me to boot my device on fastboot but it prevented me to boot Android after flashing the correct ZE550ML img, so I had to flash, normally without reversing files, xFSTK ZE550ML config on my ZE550ML to make it work, then use my guide. good luck You can also try directly my "standard" tutorial below, or trying it after trying the Tech YouTuber's one, hoping finally you'll unbrick your device
EDIT 03/09/2016: Updated RAW links, taken from amtech.vn. and new ZIP files from ASUS.com
Hello, just after solving my problem I wrote a guide of everything I did to unbrick my ZenFone 2 ZE550ML (bricked after installing OTA update for Marshmallow Beta).
This is a "duplicate" of my last post on this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3405331
because I want to help people who are trying to unbrick their ZenFone 2 ZE550ML or ZE551ML
Here is a detailed guide of everything I did to unbrick a Marshmallow ZE550ML stuck on USB logo with lost bootloader without losing any data or setting, everything like before bricking in my case (except settings of some non-system apps, can't figure out why) :
(Note: I recommend you to charge your ZenFone for a few hours as soon as you'll get fastboot menu at step 1, so it will not shutdown... Even if it's not turning on the orange LED, it's charging )
(WARNING : these are the steps I had to do in order to unbrick MY phone without losing data and installing Marshmallow. For your phone some steps might be unnecessary, if you're lucky... I know this is a very long guide but I had to do this in MY case)
(The whole guide is a "modified" version of this guide by Summit007s)
Step 1. Flash basic bootloader with xFSTK Downloader to boot fastboot
I had, first, to switch to advanced startup with support for unsigned drivers (video tutorial here),
install Asus USB drivers (link to Asus USB drivers here - note: video tutorial to install drivers from inf (the inf file for the driver is Android\android_winusb.inf) (repeat for every device available : ADB Interface, Bootloader Interface, etc...) )
and IntelSocUSB driver (link to IntelSocUSB driver 1.2.0 - Note: Before finishing IntelSocUSB setup it will ask you to configure a device : you'll have to connect your ZenFone 2 using an USB cable to your computer, while it's displaying USB logo, and WAIT FOR DETECTION IN Device Manager as "Moorefield device" under "Intel Soc" section),
to flash a fastboot bootloader (link to xFSTK_ZE550ML-sal358-amtech.vn for ZE550ML / link to xFSTK_ZE551ML-sal358-amtech.vn for ZE551ML) using xFSTK Downloader (link to xFSTK Downloader 1.7.0)
(guides for everything in this step 1: english version - same in vietnamese with screenshots and valid links - detailed PDF for xFSTK with screenshots). => phone boots on fastboot
Step 2. Flash a lollipop ROM (or Marshmallow raw image from the raw fw collection but I did not test it) with Asus Flash Tool to repair fastboot info (like serial number) and access recovery if you want to install Marshmallow from a zip
In order to get a working recovery menu (because I found a zip for Marshmallow but no raw, I'll have to install a recovery),
I had to install Asus Flash Tool (NEW link to Asus Flash Tool 1.0.0.45),
UPDATE Some links broke so I suggest you to download the raw firmware from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/z008-z00a-z00d-z00x-raw-fw-collection-t3448966, there are Marshmallow raw firmware so you can skip step 3. I havent tried myself for now.
flash a raw file (go download it from the raw collection) on ZenFone 2 ZE550ML using Asus Flash Tool (Model: ZE550ML - wipe data : no)
OR FOR A ZE551ML flash a raw file (NEW link to WW_ZE551ML_2.20.40.184_20160504.raw) on ZenFone 2 ZE551ML using Asus Flash Tool (Model: ZE551ML - wipe data : no)
(guides for everything in this step 2: english version - same in vietnamese with screenshots and valid links)
BUT because Asus Flash Tool will wipe everything except user data and change your serial number from 0123456789ABCDEF to your legit serial number, flashing will NOT work and process will be ENDLESS because serial number has changed so phone is not found and you're not warned of that by Asus Flash Tool.
After 20 minutes of "OKAY" status displayed in green text on your phone, after 20 minutes of "a500cgfastboot.exe" running in task manager,
I think you can safely unplug USB cable, abort Asus Flash Tool by closing this software, killing "a500cgfastboot.exe",
don't restart the phone, just plug it back to your computer and reopen ASUS FLASH TOOL (notice serial number change in ASUS FLASH TOOL) and flash again with same settings but the new serial number (different from 0123456789ABCDEF).
This flash should work, after an hour or less you'll see in Asus Flash Tool that it's finished.
If it did not work, then you can reboot the phone and try again
Step 3. Flash Marshmallow zip with adb sideload, if you didn't installed it with a raw at step 2
Finally, you'll have to shut down your phone,
boot in recovery mode (guide is here),
connect it to computer, select "apply update from adb",
install adb (link to ADB Installer 1.4.3 - Note: install it system-wide but don't install Android USB drivers) on your computer,
download zip OTA for Marshmallow (NEWEST official link to UL-Z008-WW-4.21.40.191-user.zip for ZE550ML / NEWEST official link to UL-Z00A-WW-4.21.40.223-user.zip for ZE551ML),
open a command prompt in the folder where you downloaded files (using "File > Open command prompt > Open command prompt" in the Windows Explorer's ribbon), then type :
Code:
adb devices
to verify that your phone is detected (you should see your serial number in cmd),
then type the following command to flash Marshmallow stock (zip is NOT pre-rooted if you want to root you'll have to do it after) :
ZE550ML
Code:
adb sideload UL-Z008-WW-4.21.40.191-user.zip
ZE551ML
Code:
adb sideload UL-Z00A-WW-4.21.40.223-user.zip
It may take a while decompressing then sending to phone. Then select "wipe cache partition" in your recovery menu,
wait until you see again the menu (so, wait until end of wiping cache), and select "reboot").
If you want more details for each step, just ask in the comments! Don't forget to read the other guides linked in the steps (for example, the one for xFSTK)
Now pray, and your device SHOULD magically boot the latest beautiful stock Marshmallow ROM from Asus, with all your data (except, maybe, settings of some non-system apps), exactly like before you bricked it.
It worked for me, but with the right new files it should work perfectly for you...
I hope you'll appreciate this "googling" work
Thank you
Thank you for sharing this information dude.. This is a helpful one.. It will surely be of greater use soon..
Thanks man u saved my zenfone 2 ze550ml. I tried various tutorial and videos but things didnt work as old files for z008 didnt work. You got the right files and steps. Cheers and keep up the good work
Hopefully this puts an end to all new unbricking threads *thumbs up*
password doesnt work for the flash tool anymore?
if u face error in ASUS FLASH TOOL

so i followed this guide after step 1 of this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/thead-bricked-phone-updating-to-mm-tips-t3452785

Hello,
I just tried it again and I can confirm that www.asus-zenfone.com is the right password for the archive, as seen on the original website :
http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2015/12/download-asus-flashtool-10014-for-windows.html
Download the RAR on your computer and open it : your archive opener software will ask you for the password only if you want to extract file. You can still see the list of file without password
Currently stuck at the end of step 1. :crying: any recommendations? Uploaded a picture of where xFSTK says as an error.

Hello,
Your phone is still not booting on fastboot? Make sure you set settings in xFSTK Downloaded (GP Flag override, see the pdf) and try again. Good luck

BUT because Asus Flash Tool will wipe everything except user data and change your serial number from 0123456789ABCDEF to your legit serial number, flashing will NOT work and process will be ENDLESS because serial number has changed so phone is not found and you're not warned of that by Asus Flash Tool.
After 20 minutes of "OKAY" status displayed in green text on your phone, after 20 minutes of "a500cgfastboot.exe" running in task manager,
I think you can safely unplug USB cable, abort Asus Flash Tool by closing this software, killing "a500cgfastboot.exe",
rebooting phone (notice serial number change in fastboot info on phone's screen) and flash again with same settings but the new serial number (different of 0123456789ABCDEF).
This flash should work, after an hour or less you'll see in Asus Flash Tool that it's finished.

What is worked for me :
1°) Using XFSTK > -- Do not hesitate to use another computer OR Reinstall only XFSTK (Change the Folder too) if you are "ATTEMPTING #20" / "errors encountered during download. aborting" / "firmware download completed. continuing to os" --- i had these msg then i shutdown the phone an plug it to his power for all the night then it worked at first try
Then you are on "Weird Flag" then BOOTLOADER with "123456789ABCD"
2°) Use Asus FlashTool with the RAW File (WIPE : NO)> DO NOT REBOOT THE PHONE After it says "RESULT : OKAY" on the Phone
-Close Asus FlashTools only (do not close the task - VIDEO : https:// bambuser.com/v/6355633)
-Relaunch Asus FlashTools
-UNPLUG the USB Cable then Plug it back directly
-Wait 10 sec -> You will have your serial number on Asus FlashTools
>>> Reuse your RAW File with Wipe Yes then it Works

Step 3. Flash Marshmallow zip with adb sideload, if you didn't installed it with a raw at step 2
Finally, you'll have to shut down your phone,
boot in recovery mode (guide is here),
connect it to computer, select "apply update from adb",
install adb (link to ADB Installer 1.4.3 - Note: install it system-wide but don't install Android USB drivers) on your computer,
download zip OTA for Marshmallow (NEW official link to UL-Z008-WW-4.21.40.112-user.zip for ZE550ML / NEW official link to UL-Z00A-WW-4.21.40.134-user.zip for ZE551ML),
open a command prompt in the folder where you downloaded files (using "File > Open command prompt > Open command prompt" in the Windows Explorer's ribbon), then type :
adb devices (null)

Not work in my case with this recovery: twrp-3.0.2-0-Z00A.img
Man, i am so ****ing happy.. My phone wasn't available for 2 weeks and this was a very bad experience for me. I fixed it because of you. Thank you so so so much!
Stuck in the first step!
Hello, currently my ASUS Zenfone 2 is bricked because I tried flashing the released Android Marshmallow ROM on TWRP.
After 10 minutes of flashing my device abruptly shut down and now it can't even show anything on the screen when I turn it on (phone still buzzes but not even a dead android icon is shown--just dark unlit screen).
I followed your instructions and I got stuck in step 1 when trying to install the drivers using PowerShell. I was able to install the .inf from the folders "MTP" and "tethering" but the one in "android".
May I have some assistance to the next step gentlemen?
I believe because of this my computer could only detect my phone as the "Moorefield Device" for more than a second.
Thank you,
Tom
I have a LG K20 plus with t mobile as the carrier. I believe the model should be TP260. I mistakenly restored a twrp backup from a metro pcs phone that I got from this site coincidentally. Now my phone drops calls and data frequently and shows metro pcs on bootup vs tmobile. I have a kdz file but it won't flash because it now also thinks the model is MP260...not TP260 and says it's a mismatch. Any ideas on how I can get a restore for tmobile to try to reset the phone?
Just bumping
i could use a restore too. I installed super SU root and lost access to android pay. I wasnt to try that magisk root
I restored mine with the linked files.
install LG driver (uninstall any other drivers first)
install LGUP
remove battery from phone and replace
hold volume up key
insert USB while holding down volume up key
phone will boot to download mode
drivers will find phone
run UPPERCUT.exe
UPPERCUT.exe will launch LGUP with phone connected. if phone is not connected try again.
in LGUP lower window browse to TP26010k_00_0316.kdz
choose UPGRADE option in LGUP
click START in LGUP
factory ROM and Recovery will be installed, bootloader will still be unlocked
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BygTApD1iNSSb3pCcU9RRlV1MVE
magisk can be installed using the same method as superSU. Mine is working along with AndroidPay

You were able to install TWRP after this process with the TP26010k_00_0316.kdz?
I am on TP26010E and don't want to upgrade to TP26010k if TWRP cannot be flashed as it has been stated here.
Yeah, you have to perform OEM unlock again, but I have been able to flash TWRP after flashing the previously attached .kdz with the LGUP tool

Can I install this kdz from twrp and install supersu?
no, you have to use LGUP tool. This is a LG image that will flash everything including your recovery partition, and not a flashable ROM image.
You flash root through TWRP, you use LGUP for kdz as the user above said rom flashing and kdz flashing are two different things
See this post which reflects the new kdz available https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73690098&postcount=3
Just a Heads up there is a new version out, as of 9/01/17

I flashed the modded ROM for MetroPCS, and couldn't flash kdz file because my phone was identified as MP260, instead of TP260.
I wiped the phone and re-locked the bootloader, and the phone would only boot into download mode, It gave a message about it being corrupted.
I took it back to TMO, and the sales people thought it was a virus, and replaced the device.
I've made a TWRP backup for anyone who runs into the same problem. This will fix your problem, so you can use the flash tools available for this device.
NOTE: I also provided Root tools and instructions for those Rooting for the first time.
1. Power off device, plug into computer, then hold volume up for download mode and let COM drivers install, you may need to change COM port to 41, through device manager.
2. In LGUP, choose upgrade or FOTA upgrade.
2. Once you flash firmware, you'll have to hit reset once or twice to get rid of the encryption failure notification.
3. Enjoy rooting your device again if you so choose.
ROOTING:
NOTE: Must have ADB & Fastboot setup already.
First you must unlock your bootloader.
1. In about phone settings, tap build number 6x to get developer settings, enable adb debugging and OEM unlock. Now plug into your computer.
2. Boot into Fastboot mode.
A. Open command prompt and type: adb reboot-bootloader.
B. Next type: fastboot oem unlock.
WARNING: You'll be prompted to factory reset device to protect your data. Your chance to turn back, if your brave then continue. Your device will factory reset, and you'll have to perform the first step again and you'll be ready to root.
1. To flash TWRP, plug into computer, then in command line navigate to where you have your recovery.img
A. adb reboot-bootloader
B. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
2. Pull battery and manually boot into recovery,
A. volume+down as soon as you see LG, release then press again quickly and hold, follow the steps provided.
3. Hit cancel for the encryption notice, and swipe to modify system.
4. You must format device to get rid of encryption message, so choose format and it will ask you to type, yes.
5. Stay in recovery and flash the no-encryption.zip, and Magisk, if you choose to use it for your SU manager. Stay in recovery.
6. Reboot into recovery, and then set up your TWRP environment.
7. Enjoy Root:laugh:
NOTE: If you decide to root again, try using Magisk for SU management. Magisk's mods are excellent, and can run along side Xposed. If you choose Magisk, do not flash SuperUser.zip

You could probably flash the TWRP back up. After that your device would be Identified as TP260, by the flash tools and you'd end up with the same issue I had, when you decided to go back to stock, so make a TWRP backup on external memory. The KDZ file most likely won't flash because it performs a DLL check, to match device with firmware.

I've got backup after unlock Bootloader and before root. Pretty sure it's got recovery on it. I always make a backup asap. It's the mp26010t (I had the November patch but some reason after root it says Oct).
Is that what you need?

I have a Metro LG K20 Plus phone and want to change the firmware to T-Mobile. I have not been successful doing this as I always get invalid firmware, because LG UP recognizes the phone as a metro phone. Is there a way to succeed in getting the T-Mobile firmware on the phone?
thanks in advance.

lgup recognizes my model correctly as lg-tp260 on [com41] but it just sits there initializing for eternity. With my model highlighted I select it and I keep getting the error "LGUP cant load the model [C:\Program Files(x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\com. I have installed lg air drive, lg bridge, lgup8994.dll, lgup for store. I desperately need to get this thing back to stock, I have the AICP rom installed but I dont like it. it was a mistake, if anyone can help I would appreciate it.

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

did you use the UPPERCUT tool to open LGUP, rather than using the regular lgup shortcut? That's the only way to make the PARTITION DL option appear. Make sure you also have installed the lgup dll .msi setup program before running uppercut. let me know how it goes

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

My phone has no OS. Factory reset is unavailable to my knowledge (attempted volume up and power).
I can go into fastboot and TWRP, but I can't seem to install the stock OS nor Lineage OS. In fastbootmode, I see the following
Product name - AILSA_II
Variant - MTP eMMC
Bootloader version -
Baseband Version -
Serial Number 9e28c2da
Secure Boot - enabled
Device State - unlocked

I cannot use ADB commands. My phone isn't listed under ADB devices. EDL does not work. However in Fastboot mode, MiFlash recognizes a device 9e28c2da. Whenever I try to flash a full EDL however, miflash brings up errors saying it cannot find script and it cannot find file.
When attempting to install in TWRP, I get the respective errors "Invalid zip file format!" for "A2017U_B19-NOUGAT_FULL-EDL.zip" when I try to install the stock. When I try to install Lineage, I get "E3004L This package is for device: ailsa_ii,axon7; this device is ."
I am able to successful install A7LOSv1_UniversalBootStack.zip as well as the UniversalBootstack by DrakenFX. I then install OreoModem.zip after that, but the phone won't let me install any OS afterwards.
Am I trying to install the wrong arrangement of files? What can I do to get an OS back on my phone?
Firstly it sounds like the drivers need an update.
Try updating the USB drivers and try Zadig drivers as well.
Your PC/laptop should see your phone as ...
"Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008"
In the device manager on Windows. If you are using Miflash it should see it as Com 4 or similar.
Make sure you have the correct Edl package for your phone eg: A2017G, A2017U or A2017.
Extract the Edl package using WinZip or Winrar and take note of the folder name and location.
Boot your phone into Edl mode, via button, adb command or using the Edl tool by @djkuz
Open Miflash tap refresh, if it sees com4 or similar you are good to go.
Tap the browse button and pick the Edl package location on your PC/laptop and then tap flash.
The flash will take a few minutes and when done you will get a green flash success.
Unplug your phone and press and hold the power button till it boots.
Hope this helps
