I bought lg g3 d851..
The box isn't like the one in YouTube videos it doesn't have T-Mobile logo on it..just written d851
And the back cover doesn't have T-Mobile logo which should be there
But under the cover and under the battery is written d851 and when I power the phone there is T-Mobile logo and I tried hidden menu cod for T-Mobile model and worked
The firmware version is v10z! And it doesn't belong to any model
And baseband version is vs985 which belong to Verizon!
And when I connected to of in download mod it shows lge androidnet for vsw USB port which belong to Verizon! And lg flash tool and PC suit doesn't recognize my phone
And tried to install T-Mobile twrp it didn't work..but when I tried Verizon twrp it worked!
I backup my ROM via twrp and I want to flash android 6
What should I do

You should return the device. Someone has highly tampered with it. And sold it as something that it's not.

I do not have twrp and I'm already on d85130e

I have d85130e lg g3 but I do not have twrp, or anything like that, it is supposed to assume that those who want to root and never installed Twrp will not be able to use this method.
Everything is useless, nothing works.

Simply impossible to root the d85130e.

I can not go back to d851xxx because I do not have twrp nor way to install it since I am not root and I can not become root.

What a great dilemma :crying::crying::crying::crying:

Does 30e have antirollback? To downgrade back to 20x. I haven't kept up with recent firmwares for that model. Is there's no antirollback you would be able to downgrade.

If there's noantirollback, did you attempt to flash with the device booted into android and letting LGUP reboot the phone into download mode?

Antirollback means no downgrading. But LGUP will stop you if it is. But did you try what I stated above?

so idont have Posibility to enter to the program and select the kdz file D85120E_00
to downgrade from 30E



Don't know that for sure as I can't keep up with all the device models and there versions. But did you try what I stated above? You get unknown model in download mode that's normal. You need to booted into android for it to detect the device.

You are using a USB 2.0 port correct? USB 3.0 wont work. And can you try another computer?

And no you will need to use LGUP.

I have no idea what any of that means, all i know is my phones been out of commission for like 3 years and i want it back enough if i had to send it to someone i would.

TOT attempted just sits on "Waiting for connection." when i UNPLUG then it does its attempt. and this is with both Update and Board DLL

LGUP also does not detect my model as with farouk405 I Difference being I CANNOT load android at all. mine is soft bricked at boot goes to LG Scree, then goes black and sits there for hours until battery dies.

Following the information i read from hyelton helping Farouk I am going to plug into USB 2.0 (As have been using 3.0)

My Tmobile service has been disabled for.... 5 years? Still owe on the phone, trying to setup payments again to finish paying it off, could that have a hand in this issue set?

It appears that both TOT and KDZ are impossible to do with D85130e. :(

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

Ok, I spoke too soon on the KDZ. I was trying to do 30b and it wasn't working at all.

I hunted down a version of 30d and I was able to get that flashed. Now to see if the next steps work. :)

    This is for LG G3 D851 ONLY
    TOT/KDZ/TWRP Untouched stock restore

    IF YOU WANT TO USE THIS GUIDE WAIT UNTIL I HAVE THE LGUP METHOD UP

    Who can benefit from this?
    • Anyone who softbricked with access to download mode [KDZ RECOMMENDED]
    • Anyone who wants to use the OTA function after root [TWRP RECOMMENDED]
    • Anyone who needs to send the phone in for repair [TOT RECOMMENDED]
    • Anyone who wants to be on the most recent firmware [TWRP RECOMMENDED]
    • Anyone who wants to downgrade *After you update to 20B it is recommended to not downgrade. If you do you WILL have connection problems
    • Anyone who wants to return to stock from aosp or aokp
      • Tip: Most of the time TWRP will do what you need without the troubles and baggage TOT and KDZ bring. It will downgrade, upgrade, root, fix soft bricks or just give you a fresh untouched operating system (no personal data left on the phone if you follow instructions). It will also get rid of any proof on the phone that you were rooted (my t-mobile reports root to a remote server nothing can be done about that).

    Strengthens and weaknesses for each method click here

    TWRP Files/flashing guide Most recent = D85130g_00_0420 (07/05/17)
    (This is a WIP)
    1. Download your preferred choice of D851xxx-Untouched_Stock_Restore.zip HERE (Perfect 1:1 image unlike most roms)
    2. Copy D851xxx-Untouched_Stock_Restore.zip to phone (external sd if available)
    3. Reboot into twrp
      • For firmware update do not wipe! skip to step 8. If you want untouched stock continue with step 4.
        If upgrading from kitkat to lollipop wipe system before flashing.
    4. Click [Wipe]
    5. Click [Advanced Wipe] (For full wipe stock restore only)
    6. Select dalvik cache, system, Data, Internal storage (only if you use external for downloaded file) and cache
    7. Click the home Icon in the bottom left
    8. Click [Install]
    9. Select D851xxx-Untouched_Stock_Restore.zip (make sure you select the proper sd card)
      • If you want root and/or twrp add UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.37.zip to the queue by touching [Add More Zips]
        Repeat for TWRP-2.8.6.0-d851.zip
    10. Swipe to install [====>]
    11. Install will now begin, pure stock: system, kernel, recovery, modem and rpm will be installed
    12. After completion click [wipe cache/dalvik] (do not skip especially if you dirty flashed)
    13. Swipe to wipe [====>]
    14. Click [back]
    15. Click [reboot system] (it might say no os but it is wrong you do have a os click restart anyway) [dirty flash will not have that problem]
    16. If your sending for repair or jump do a factory reset with what should now be the stock recovery just to be safe.
    DO NOT INSTALL ROOT UNLESS YOU WANT IT TO BE ROOTED


    LGUP (KDZ/TOT)

    Check back later


    KDZ files/flashing guide (Use TWRP if you can)
    (This is a WIP)

    Here are the KDZ files for the D851 I will keep this up to date as they are released

    Make sure you uncompress the file!

    Most recent Firmware
    D85130g_00_0420 (07/05/17)

    Old Firmware
    D85130e_00_0711 (08/08/16)

    D85110C_00 (07/16/14)


    KDZ FLASHING GUIDE

    For windows vista - windows 8.1
    Very buggy on windows 8/8.1 x64 YMMV
    Will not work on windows xp or older​

    1. Download, extract and install LGUnitedMobileDriver
    2. Download, extract and install VBCFJRedist_AIO_x86_x64
    3. Download and extract LG Flashtool 2014.7z (This is not the same flash tool in TOT method)
    4. Download one of the KDZ files from the beginning of the post and extract it in the Flashtool folder
    5. Make sure you are at least at 50% battery
    6. Enter download mode by holding the volume up button + plug the phone into the computer from a powered off state
    7. Run LGFlashTool2014.exe as administrator
    8. select type [CDMA] (Yes CDMA works just fine for our T-Mobile GSM phones DO NOT USE THE OTHER OPTIONS)
    9. phone mode [diag]
    10. reset time [33000]
    11. select the KDZ file you extracted from inside the flashtool folder (D851xxx_00.kdz)
    12. select [normal flash] (no wipe) or [CSE flash] (wipe) (Recommended)
    13. click [start]
    14. Select Country and Language Just leave default selections and click OK (Republic of Korea is the only country and it defaults to English)
    It will analyze the phone extract the firmware and upgrade your phone automatically you will see progress on both the computer and phones display once the s/w upgrade percentage gets to about 80% your phone will restart don't freak out all went well and it will boot up to the LG welcome screen and if you selected CSE it will restart one last time

    Total flash time for me was 2 minuets 56 seconds

    If you use the normal flash you might need to do a factory reset if you get in a bootloop after flash
    cse should have 0 problems on boot

    18. Plug your phone back in and it will start flashing automatically DO NOT UNPLUG THE PHONE
    19. After its done sending the firmware over your phone will reboot into mini os and you will see a blue screen with a big 2 wait until you see a big 3 then unplug the phone and close the lgflashtool program. Your phone might automatically reboot on 3 but it hasn't for me If it doesn't just pull the battery put it back in then power up. After one of the updates this step may be different then described. If you have problems just ask and myself or somebody else will be able to help.

    So use this method to flash back to stock?

    Correct it also gives developers a chance to start making stock roms even though we don't have root or a recovery yet.

    Updated OP with Flash method!

    Added:
    D85120B flashable zip (Lollipop)
    and
    TWRP installer zip


    *Important information Below*

    • Wipe everything except internal and external data for the best lollipop experience. But if you must dirty flash you MUST wipe cache/dalvik and system or you WILL bootloop. You could skip wiping system but problems might happen.
    • If you did dirty flash it might take a long time to get to and from the T-Mobile screen. If it takes longer than 5 minutes to get past the T-Mobile screen pull the battery wait 10 seconds and power it back on then it should bring you to the updating android screen, give it time.
    • After a reboot update your apps ASAP
    • If you downgrade from lollipop your phone will need to reboot several times before it recognizes your sim card. You will also need to format system before downgrading. If you downgrade with twrp you need to format system before flashing.
