Hi everyone,
It's been some time since I last came here.
I am facing a problem in my LG G3 and was wondering if anyone here can help me.
My phone is D855 was on V21A, Global ROM, rooted. I was thinking about updating to 6.0, so I used Autorec to flash TWRP to backup everything before the update. After Autorec I used terminal emulator (as I always do) to reboot into recovery. And then, the phone kinda died. The screen is always black, no LED blink nothing.
When I connect the phone to the PC it gets recognized as AndroidNet USB port.
I look through the forums for solution and came across this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-fix-hard-brick-recovery-guide-t3132359
I opened up the phone and did the short-wire and my phone got recognized as Qualcom 9008. I used the tool named: BoardDiag and it could copy stuff to my phone.
However, the issue that I faced was that I could not locate the TOT file of V21A. I tried the TOT of V10E and it did not work.
I tried following the method of LGExtract tool to turn the KDZ file to TOT but that did not work either. What happened is that the tool turn the KDZ to CAB and then when I try to extract the CAB it says that it is corrupted. Tried another KDZ from another source and the same result.
What I need now is one of two things:
Either the TOT file of Global V21a
or a working method for KDZ to TOT conversion.

Thanks for any suggestions.

[UPDATE]
I tried renaming the KDZ to TOT but it could not be extracted to the right MBN files.

I am facing the same problem with my LG G3 D850. I flashed a D851 Variant version of the rom and after fixing the hard brick part i am stuck flashing the .tot file because its considering my phone as D851 model. I tried to flash the LGUP_8974.dll to try to fix it and nothing.

I used the same short-wire method and flashed the only TOT I could find, which was 10E. However, this time I flashed the system partition as well. In the guide it says it would take a long time so don't do it. I did it anyway. It took reeeeeeeeeaaaaalllllly long time. Over 4 hours.
After finishing flashing I place back the battery as indicated in the guide and the phone restarted and was stuck at LG screen. I connected it to the computer and it was finally recognized as an LG Android phone.
Then I used the official LG update tool. It detected the phone and said there was an update. I proceeded with the update and everything went back to normal. I even had the same data and apps because I did not overwrite the data partition.
I hope this helps.
