I bought this phone a week or two ago on eBay under the model G710ULM10g and have realized that I cannot update this phone at all (and am stuck in 8.0 Oreo). I've tried using LGUP and LGBridge but neither app was able to work. I've heard a few things about flashing KDZ files but 1) I'm not great with computers and get confused really easily and 2) I don't even know if flashing a KDZ file is even what I should be doing. Can anyone here let me know what I can/should do?
This can help U https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/update-region-help-t4026441/post81329097#post81329097
Pie? Of course yes! If you bought a 710PM but crossflashed a 710ULM (topical from eBay Sellers) and you are stuck on Android 8 with no updated, here you can find help

Hi,
First time poster, long time trawler... thanks for all your info over the years.
I have a specific question about downgrading to KK from L on my branded Three Mobile UK.
I had rooted on KK and was loving it, everything was working great.
Three kept pushing the OTA at me, but because of root it wouldn't take.
Borrowed a PC (I run mac for work) to run LG Suite and (back up first) fix upgrade errors to unroot to take OTA.
For some reason it bricked it...it just sat on Firmware update at 0% forEVER. Wouldn't boot past it or recognise the device anymore.
Had to use the Mobile Support tool to bring it back to life... although this resulted in an upgrade to 5 anyway.
I'm really not a fan of L. Won't go into details as to why it sucks, but I want to go back to KK and root, and then wait for L to get root options.
I've never flashed a ROM before, however there's a ton of resources here so I will give it a go.
I want to go back to the exact same ROM that came with the device which I THINK I have tracked down to - D85510g_00 via
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53606494
and
http://www.mylgphones.com/lg-g3-firmware-checking-the-software-version-and-update-history
Can anyone confirm that would be the right one... Is there any reason why I shouldn't use this ROM?
I want to go with what works, and not risk bricking it by installing an unbranded ROM in case they've used some sort of security measure that I'm unaware of... or am I just being a noob?
TL : DR
ON Lpop, want KK back... downgrade to D85510g_00.kdz for 3 UK (Hutchinson) branded ROM - Correct?

Thanks for your reply. Will borrow a PC again and give it a whirl tonight.
I have the KDZ file, USB drivers and LG Flash tool already downloaded... and intend on following this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
I have seen in the second method mentioned in that guide - TOTs and DLLs, could you confirm that these are different paths to the same goal? Either I need KDZ or I need TOT & DLL... but I don't need KDZ and TOT and DLL? Have I understood that correctly?

yep that sounds about right
All good.
Back on KK and rooted again.
I have a G3 that I tried the 1 click root method on. It said it was successful but on reboot it is stuck at the LG logo.
I am trying to follow a guide to flash the stock firmware. (androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants)
Can someone please tell me whether the guide is still good and whether the link it directs to (androidrootz.com/p/lg-g3-stock-fiwares) is where I want to get the firmware from? It seems to be over a year old at this point.
Also I am a bit confused about which firmware I want, I thought my version was the D855 International version, does that mean I can use either the D855 EUR or HK firmwares?
Sorry if some of these questions are obvious, got the device yesterday and it is my first Android phone! Also sorry the links are clickable, I don't have 10 pots yet.
Got it back to 4.4.2 using the aforementioned pages. Flashed the European firmware after reading some stuff elsewhere.
Hi I bought a refurbished LG G4 and I set it up and used it for one day and it was great. But I went into the about section and noticed that it wasn't running Android 6.0 yet so I connected it to LG bridge and updated it through the program. Next thing I know after it finished updating it booted into encryption mode asking for a password. I try enter something and it goes to 29 attempts out of 30 if I try it again it just stays there and doesn't change or or go below 29 it has now randomly changed into Chinese too.
I contacted the company I bought it off and explained it to them and said there should have been an explanation in my package. But there wasn't.
It's not allowing me to boot into recovery and I have no idea what to do.
I used this phone for one day and spent a lot of money on this phone and I have no idea what I can do to fix this situation.

not sure if flashing stock firmware will help... now the question is what version of android has right now.?
you can try the back to stock guide... not sure if it will erase everything .. but if you going to downgrade lets say you took the last update antiroll back 3 you can only downgrade to a firmware that its the same antiroll back version.. the last update from my variant its v3.. so ask first... then download firmware flash an d hope its wipes all and start from scrath..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848
It says on the website that it's running Android 5.1.
I tried the KDZ method last night and I would get and error when the upgrage was at 9%.
It's a refurbished phone, if that makes all the difference?

not sure, you best bet is to post that problem in that thread and provide all info and pic of error..
Use LGUP or LG FLASH TOOL 2014 for going back to the same kdz u were on? Also try to remember when u bought the phone did it had update center when u go into "about" u didnt try OTA via wifi?
Hey, i own an israeli H815L G4. Im currently running MM 6.0 , and i want to root my phone so in order to do that I need to downgrade my phone to LP . I have someone who uploaded his v10K rooted img, so all I need is a v10k stock of H815L and I cant find it anywhere. Also, I managed to find some v10H downloads, but none worked. looks like I came late to the party. Another question : If ill install the rooted img v10k I mentioned on my 6.0 MM , what will happen? will it work?
Please help, thanks.
You're In Luck
Hi there, I also own an Israeli LG G4 (H815L) and somehow I still have a H815L v10f kdz (5.1)
I am just notifying you that i am uploading it to a website and I'll PM you the link later
Lucky you, not afraid of loosing your warranty/ don't have a warranty.
TBH, if I knew there was no such defect as "The bootloop problem" i would of rooted my phone too.
you can't know with LG, i heard even a few G5 users got the defect :/
EDIT: You will have to OTA till you reach V10K tho, also, I downgraded once because of battery life issues, and this kdz worked for me.
Uploading right now
Wow! Thank you very much!
Just so you know, my phone died before and the motherboard already replaced once, to a 6xx serial num .. Im not sure the problem wont come back tho, but if it would, Im pretty sure that LG wouldnt even notice that my phone is rooted, since it wont even start-up.. so I'm taking my chances.
A question about needing to OTA to v10k, is it possible? I mean, wont it just "jump" to the most validated version there is ? (using LG Bridge)
Thanks again man .

Do the OTA through the actual phone, not LG Bridge.
You are correct, LG Bridge would jump you to the most validated version of this country (In Israel it would be V20D, but using kdz you can push officialy to UK V20H or Poland V20I)
But, in OTA, on the actual phone, it will jump you from version to version.
So, from V10F to V10G (you get the point).
Also my internet died on me a few mins ago so i have to restart the upload, so it should be done in an hour approximately. happy to help by the way
Edit: Hopefully i don't fall asleep by then lel. its 1:35 am here XD (Israel time zone is ****ed next to other countries, if you live here, then you probably know that already.)
Hi.
I purchased a second hand LG G3 quite a few months back, only to find out after trying to update that my version was the D858HK, which does not seem to have any official way to update past KitKat on the phone. After some digging around, I did find some methods, like flashing the KDz file. However, none of the KDz files I've found on the internet seem to match the model of my phone, which is D858HK10d, or v10d.
I was wondering if there is any other way to get rid of KitKat and move on to the newer versions.
It is rooted.
Thanks in advance, XDA Forums. You guy's do the Android God's work.

LG PC Suite doesn't recognize the phone. And the kdz files there dont include the model of my phone, which is a D858HK10d.
Where are you getting the model #? The 10d part may refer to the ROM as 20x would be LP, and 30x would be MM.

10d is the Software Version of Android KitKat..
Your device is D858HK.
So you can proceed installing that kdz file.
