guys my phone is this: https://www.imei.info/?imei=355673063450964

how can I know which is the country it comes from in order to download the right files??
From the model number, that's the international version of the G3. So it's not supposed to be region-specific like the carrier branded ones. Take a look at the video by @hyelton to see the file name of the TOT file he used (if memory serves well, he did a video on the D855 found on the first page of this thread also on YouTube).
 
I can't use the oceanhost.eu-links as well..
Is there a way to reupload them somewhere different? I'm a little stuck without the files it seems...

Thanks and best regards!
The files that have been uploaded to oceanhost.eu are already shared on androidfilehost as well (by other people, not myself)...

All you have to do is get the filename from the oceanhost.eu share and search for (and subsequently download) that file from androidfilehost.com.


Best of luck!

    [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 !!

    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.

    thx
    In the OP I just haven't fixed the links but if you go to the G2 guide I made long ago the links are there and just follow the g2 guide. My g3 guide is pretty much the same as mg g2 guide you just use G3 firmwares
