i have the lg g5 h850 not rooted and i have some issues with the software so i was wondering if i could download stock kdz and flash it through lgup or lg bridge. I am kinda new at this and was wondering if someone could give the steps to do so if it possible at all.

this is the kdz i am trying to download. ( i have the israeli g5 h850)
Yes. You can reflash using lg bridge I believe.
A better solution maybe to use lg bridge were there is a setting were you address 'upgrade errors' without having to download the kdz from elsewhere.

Sorry. I meant reflash using LG Up

@bobsie41 yes i tried that but every time i do the "refubrish "option it says an error that my kdz is not compatible with refubrish process and when i do just upgrade nothing changes/
am i doing something wrong here?

Re download kdz file with stable connection, best with LAN line on PC*
Try different pc*
Try different version of LGUP*
Use factory wire that came with phone*
All these solutions seem to work for most people. Let me know if it doesn't.

@Nick216ohio thanks for the response,
i tried to do the same from my laptop and from a diffrenet version of lgup and i downloaded the kdz using lan from the beginning+ using the original lg cable.
is there anything else i can try?

The PC's which version of windows? They both the same? It's weird some people have more luck on different versions of windows.

Compability in windows doesn't work sometimes. Do you have someone else who has lower version of windows you could use? If not you could try linux Ubuntu live disc. I am assuming LGUP works with Linux? Not 100% sure on that.

OK I go thru the process as described in the YouTube video.,click on shttps and windows enabler.after selecting kdz file and web upgrade the lg software loads and says I have the current version 20h.,OK so I'm confused in two things.i have changed the host file but seems I'm not getting the server side working , which by passes the lg website?
1.shttps server - do I have to do anything to set it up besides click the exe? I seen post where it should show a "sweet girl with a l9" I don't get that.
2.as far as the lg software mine does not look like the same as in the video.look diffent.

thanks alot, i manged to downgrade from 20h to 10g. gonna try the 20b to unlock bootloader.
EDIT: tried upgrading to 20b and im getting usb to pc connection error? any ideas?
Do you have the PC connection set to LG Software mode?
Sent from my LG-P769 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I believe I did , I ended up doing a stock recovery from T-Mobile, I kept getting the communication error about the phone not being connected.
Ok so here's the jist of it. Was trying to downgrade from 46a to 10b. Couldn't get LG flash tool to come up "Ready", so I tried the terminal emulator method. Seemed to work until I rebooted. Now I get unsuccessful boot error with the LG screen. I don't have twrp as I hoped, only stock recovery. So I've tried for hours with many different methods to get the Flash tool to pick up my phone when its in Download mode. Tried disabling driver signature at boot, downloading different drivers, changing com port to com41.
Nothing
I am on Windows 8 and could get as far as the actual flashtool previously. Now I cant even get that far. Stayed up until 5am and have been back at it since 1.
Any help would be awesome!

So, I can get the my laptop to pick up the phone and show the port. Also says connected mpt device. I just cant get the flash tool to see it. Would it be safe to say that my phone is wiped and therefore does not currently have a "version" (46a ext) and would allow me to flash a kdz on the 2014 flash tool?
Trying to think outside the box seeing I've gotten no leads....

If by terminal emulator method you mean my thread about manually downgrading partitions, then yes, that's another effect of downgrading them, that you can then flash any KDZ you want.

Ok, I'm gonna give it a try. I'm hoping that I'll already have the flash tool up and it will see my phone in download mode.

Ok guys I finally got it to work! Ran the older 2014 flash tool. The trick I found to make my Asus i7 recognize my phone was a little strange. When i would let my phone boot up it would flash the led red and blue. Once I held the volume button up it would boot to a blank screen, but the phone was still on. This was the only time my laptop would download and install the correct drivers. From there i powered off, went into download mode and connected, then used the lg tool to flash the 10b kdz file.
All rooted and twrp'ed! Flashing 47a and I'm done!
Hopefully, sometime, somehow, this will help someone else with the same problem.
Thanks road warrior for the advice. Been a long 2 days...

Alright so I recently got the lg k7 from metro pcs and decided to root it. I rooted it using kingroot and then used supersu me so that I could install supersu instead of the one used for kingroot. It worked and then asked me to reboot my phone but when it started up again, it just stayed frozen on the metro pcs logo! I removed the battery and went into recovery mode, (by clicking the down volume+power button) but when it starts up again, it still stays stuck on the metro logo. Im assuming it is stuck on a bootloop? I also believe it is soft brick because i can still access the download mode, although it did take a while as i had to find the dang drivers b/c my computer would not recognize it.
I tried using the LG Mobile Support Tool to try to unbrick it, but it says that it already has the latest firmware installed! I cant do an update recovery either!
Sadly the 7 day exchange and return has ended and I cannot replace it, so is there any other way that anyone knows to unbrick the phone?
Thanks
Did you ever figure this out? I had my k7 goto a secure boot error 9 and cant figure it out.

The only way to fix our LG devices...including @Goongydin device
1. downloada kdz firmware file for our respective model & carrier
2. download lg flashtool & another tool on a windows PC
3. put the device in download mode
4. reflash the firmware(Stock)
check out my tutorial here if the firmware file for the LG K7 is ever released...http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/how-to-universally-manually-update-lg-t3280735
HOWEVER the LG K7 firmware file has NOT been released yet & LG wont release if ask...I asked once & they told me they do NOT make it & then I ask another time(different lg representative) She said that file is proprietary & so it can NOT be released to anyone outside of LG...
so I have multiple responses that conflicts with one another especially when the first conversation was with an LG developer...who ACTUALLY makes those files apparently, but inclined that he does NOT.

I also tried flashing a kdz using lg flash tool 2014 and it was jsut question marks. The status bar would go across on screen then nothing. Nothing ever changed on phone.

The only KDZs you can flash from stock 46A are 35B or 47A. If you want to get to where you can easily root and install TWRP, you'll have to flash the 10B TOT using the .DLL that's extracted from the 35B KDZ, then root using the Stump app and use TWRP Manager from the Play Store to flash TWRP. Then you can flash whatever bootstack and ROM you want.
You can get the 10B TOT and 35B .DLL from my Android File Host link at the bottom of @annoyingduck's stickied return to stock thread in the General section. You'll have to Google for the software to flash TOTs.

LGVS985_20140620_LGFLASHv160.dll Is this the right dll file?

I did more reading and it seems not using an LG cable can cause this. I tried with many brands but don't have an LG cable. If those are the correct files I guess my next step is to order an LG cable.

I can't tell by the filename alone if it's the right file. You can compare to what I have on Android File Host (link in the thread I mentioned).
The TOT file is likely correct. Yes, I always recommend using the original USB cable for flashing. Hopefully that's your solution.
Thanks so much for your help. Looks like I was using the wrong dll file. I used the one in this post below and it worked right away.

I had the same problem and was able to flash an old rom using the LG flashtool, here is a guide:

But I had to use this dll file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63266194&postcount=84
After my phone reset during the flash it displayed 2 on the screen and did not pass. Just go into your PC's device manager and recheck the com port and change it back to 41. Mine changed as the phone reset during the flash process. Once I changed it back to 41 the flash resumed and the displayed 3 on the phone and the computer said pass.
MY Problem Has Been Recoverd By Flashing 35B KDZ using LG FLASH TOOL 2014. Easy and not need of any DLL file. Now i am on 47A using KDZ.
Thanks everyone
I've followed several guides for my h830 to be rooted or have twrp installed.
I cannot flash the 10D TOT with root. The only KDZ or TOT I can flash is 20A. When I finally boot back into the OS, the OEM unlock is unavailable.
Dirtycow method is not working probably because of the OEM unlock not being active.
I'm really not sure what else to be doing.
All USB drivers and LG software is up to date. Is there any way to just force flash TWRP or root???
