I've been trying to get my LGOG which is currently in 4.0.4 to update to 4.1.2. I already have everything ready. I've installed all the software needed (LG drivers, Components, GenericModules, LGNPST 1.2), I have the .bin, and I have the .dll.
The only thing standing in my way is: LGNPST won't let me choose the .dll! I can select the .bin file, but not the .dll. I've been trying to get this to work for hours; I even stayed up until 4am trying to figure it out.
I searched around, and I found that I had to register the .dll file first in order for it to be detected by LGNPST, but it does not want to be registered, no matter how many times I try it. This error comes up everytime I make an attempt:
The module "C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST\LGE970_20121005_LGFLASHv141.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found. Make sure that "C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST\LGE970_20121005_LGFLASHv141.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again.
I even went through attempting to register it through an escalated (Administrator-level) Command Prompt, to no avail. I don't know what to do; all I want is to update it to 4.1.2 but it's been so difficult for me. Would anyone please help? Any support will be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
P.S.
I live in the Philippines, so calling AT&T to push the update to my phone is an absolute no-go. Thank you!
That is a .DLL for use with another program called LGflashtool so it isn't compatible with lgnpst. If you use tStilenzio automated lgnpst it will register the DLL on install. Unzip it then right click on .bat file to run as administrator ( it will say LS970 DLL but it works fine).

I've also tried his LGNPST, but it still doesn't want to work. When I use his, only one DLL is available: the one called LGNPST_Utility3.dll which is the last file found in the Components 3.0 folder, and not the one for the E970. When I tried to flash the stock ROM using the Utility3.dll, it errored immediately; I tried that about 3 or 4 times.

hello i got a similar problem the dll wont register an my at&t e970 is brick do you think it will work with the LS970 DLL?
Jesus you really need to go to the irc channel and be patient for someone knowledgeable to come along. If you got that far, your own lack of reading comprehension has posited that question in your brain. If you had read the instructions, you'd know that's the correct dll.

Here is the Verizon LG G3 VS985 10B TOT file for flashing back to stock. Not a developed item on my part of course, but this makes it easy for those fellow Verizon users to find, because it seems a little tough to track down a direct link to the file, I have uploaded it to media fire for all to easily access.
Here you go:

I am pretty sure the one I linked it the one you are talking of, it isn't cracked like say a pirated software program, it's just a .dll file that gives you access, I assure you that all is well with the links I provided. I flashed to stock last night , only took 4 days to soft brick it

you cant flash a bad tot because lg flash runs a crc check on the tot first before it flashes it. tho an md5 on the tot.zip may save a few minutes in extracting if you have a bad download.

i'm on VS985_12b (which is unrootable) if I use LGFLASHTOOL and install this....can I run PurpleDrake or Stump Root and then install TWRP then a Lolipop rom?
Cut to the chase; here's the download: Verizon LG G3 VS985 12B_TO_23C_01.up FOTA files.7z.
I really hate to start a whole 'nother new thread just for this, but I also didn't want to stick this in the middle of some other thread where it'll get lost.
Regardless, if I've somehow missed this being posted elsewhere, let me know and I'll delete this thread.
I have no idea if anyone truely has any use or need for this, but maybe somebody will want it if they're not using a Verizon SIM and they don't want to KDZ fresh, and they're already on 100% completely stock 12B.
Edit:
You have to be completely stock recovery, kernel, system, etc. There are very small exceptions to this, but nothing worth noting. Just start from a completely stock 12B uprooted through the 12B KDZ and you'll be good.
Then do this (except with the 12Bto23C_01.up file, extracted from the 7z archive I provide instead):

Don't count on me answering questions more about how to use this or even what it is, at least not anytime very soon - I've been fortunately/unfortunately too busy to do what I'd like to do on my devices. Those who know how to use it know what it is. Those who don't know but wish to can find out elsewhere.
Who knows, maybe in a week's time or a month or two months, I'll start answering questions, but trust me, they're all answered in these sections already concerning OTA files/upgrades.
Omg there is a "C" release now? Is this a stable version? I know the OP isn't answering questions so maybe someone else will..

How do you flash or use these files? Link to How to? I'm on 12B and get an error trying to install the OTA. I'm guessing root or xposed is the calperate.

I prefer to make the distinction that this is 23C_01, which is the actual OTA. There were leaks of 23A, 23B and 23C (probably 23C_00); those were not official releases and this is different.

For the hell of it I wanna take my vs985 back to the first firmware that came on it from the beginning or the oldest possible firmware preferably the time it was released. I'm just confused cuz I'm seeing 10b KDZ's saying jellybean 4.2.2 (and tot) but, the ones I've downloaded from several different places turn out to be a tot file that is actually kitkat 4.4.2 which is not what I quite expected. I figured someone made a mistake naming the file but several different ones now? What am I missing? I just wanna try the oldest stuff I missed out on for a lil while and custom roms would work too but kk is the lowest I find so is there anything even lower I cant find a clear answer lol.

Hi!
There wasn't any Jellybean available for this phone. For example, 10B for my LG G Pad 8.3 tablet was Jellybean. You can find the correct 10B KDZ and TOT in @annoyingduck 's stickied return to stock thread in the General section. If the filename has VS985 in it, it's likely the correct one.
Also please in the future post questions in the Q&A section. I'll ask a mod to move this thread there. Thanks!
That's exactly what I thought, I didn't think this phone was even this old but I have the files right here saying vs985 and 4.2.2 jellybean lol but it has to be a mistake. I appreciate your reply sorry about that after these years I still get lost and mixed up here sometimes , and this can be deleted now I got the right answer , thanks again

Well I can tell how just about every Rom and mod runs on this phone and anything that you need to know I'm sure I've come across the issue at some point. I've tried everything I could find from your stock version to the latest mm stock and custom roms. A good hint I can give you is make sure you flash the right bootstack before jumping between android versions or you could wind up with a Qualcomm 9008 super brick where the real fun begins lol But it's very easy with this phone and it still blows my G4 outta the water so bad it's pathetic. I had 2 G4's and traded one fire this G3

Lol, its all good, figured it was just a mistake! However I did just d/l the 10B.kdz from autoprime via chainfire and it was 1.51 GB in size, slightly different, any concern for that? Thanks for all your help! Past present and future lol

The KDZs and TOTs in my Android File Host section are in 7-Zip archives that you have to extract to use (and are therefore compressed).
I do that since it seems so few people check MD5 hashes, plus TOTs aren't already compressed like KDZs are, so you reasonably know that when you extract an archive that the file inside it is correct and intact.
In other words, did you compare sizes with the 7-Zip archive you downloaded or the KDZ you extracted from it?
In the end I believe the TOT and KDZ-flashing software checks the file to make sure it's both okay and is for the device you have connected, anyway.
You're welcome!

Hehe. I'm lucky there was at least an exploit and TWRP for the G Pad 8.3 VK810 variant, and that some developers made an updated TWRP for it later.
I hope when/if it comes time for me to get a new tablet that I can find one that's powerful enough yet have an unlocked bootloader, etc.
I really hope something changes so that with some future Android version that there's another way of handling the optimization of apps so that every time you take an OTA or factory reset you don't have to wait an extra 10-20 minutes. Call me paranoid, but also what if you factory reset and then need to use the phone in an emergency? That long a wait is unacceptable.

Oh there's even a bumped twrp for the gpad 10.1 v700, mine is the vk700 with LTE but it's the same tab. Funny part is I never use the mobile data and I'm stuck with the bill cuz I didn't know better at the time lol I could possibly bump a twrp for it myself but that's a lil beyond my expertise atm. I also wish I'd have known better when I got my g4 or I wouldn't have went through hell and be stuck with a hopelessly locked non developed device with only root and no real fun. I guess ya gotta start learning somewhere huh

It drives me crazy all these variants of the different devices. That's one thing I definitely like about Nexus, but I've never owned one. I was hoping the HTC 10 would be universal too but it doesn't look to be that way since it says on their website that for Sprint and Verizon you need different hardware (without any further clarification of availability/etc when I looked last week - just said soon). One of the selling points they gave for buying the HTC 10 directly from them is if you want to change carriers, you can just change SIM cards, but then the note about Sprint and Verizon - sounds like a different variant.
I do use Mobile Data on my tablet all the time. Undecided if I'll keep the mobile data plan after the contract is up in December. I do like not running my phone battery down as much since I use my tablet whenever possible for music, GPS, XDA, Facebook etc.

The KDZs and TOTs in my Android File Host section are in 7-Zip archives that you have to extract to use (and are therefore compressed).
I do that since it seems so few people check MD5 hashes, plus TOTs aren't already compressed like KDZs are, so you reasonably know that when you extract an archive that the file inside it is correct and intact.
In other words, did you compare sizes with the 7-Zip archive you downloaded or the KDZ you extracted from it?
In the end I believe the TOT and KDZ-flashing software checks the file to make sure it's both okay and is for the device you have connected, anyway.
You're welcome!

both compared are .KDZ, The proper named file I d/l from Team Codefire was already in .KDZ format when d/l. The "improper named" 10B .KDZ Im not sure where I d/l from nor do I remember if file was zipped or not. If it was zipped then I extracted .KDZ and deleted the zip because I can't find it in any of my G3 folders/files. So im not sure why the size difference :/ also i have a question about flashing 35B, I know this is not proper place but didnt want to start a whole new thread for 1 question. I want to update to LP and 33B FROM my 10B KK and I see these "notes" in threads everywhere but never a link to proper update procedure, This is what I keep seeing about not using flash method to go from LP to KK or you end up with no d/l mode or other bricks possibly. from the stock img thread by bwen diorD ---------> (((((((((((***Note, Do Not use the flash2 method to go from KK to L.
Partitions other than boot, system and modem need to be updated, otherwise, you will have no download mode, and other possible issues.
***A tutorial to install the Boot, Modem, and System, using @autoprimes "Flash2" method, can be found Here.

You can follow the directions in the OP of either @hsbadr 's JasmineROM 9.x, @HolyAngel 's SkyDragon 6.x or @xdabbeb 's VS985 v2.0, or what I say below for more detailed although technically optional information regarding the first two of those ROMs.
Flash either:
1. JasmineROM 9.0+9.1 and then the 35B bootstack after if you want almost completely stock 35B. Flashing the 35B bootstack after JasmineROM isn't mentioned in the JasmineROM OP and is actually optional, but encryptiona and Advanced/HD Calling won't work without it. If you choose not to flash the 35B bootstack after flashing JasmineROM, you should at least flash the 24B bootstack. SkyDragon 6.x is the exact same situation as JasmineROM 9.x.
You can use the debloat zip thread in my signature below on either of those two ROMs if you wish. I recommend flashing the debloat zip(s) before booting the ROM the first time. It'll make your first boot faster in addition to other things.
2. or flash the 35B bootstack first and then @xdabbeb 's excellent VS985 v2.0 ROM which I recommend. Even though I'm running 47A rooted debloated right now, his ROM is absolutely my favorite.
His ROM is very debloated, although there's some additional things I choose to remove via my debloat zips.

exactly what i was looking for to the T! thank you very much! I was MAKING SURE the 35B bootstack would flash all necessary files/img's needed to move from 10B KK to 35B LP without making a paper weight out of my phone lol. so 35B bootstack then xdabbeb rom then debloat, script....would you recommend full wipe or? before any of the flashes , and I assume all this flash with TWRP.
THANKS!! That was A LOT of help! I just did not know FOR SURE OR NOT if anything special had to done with partitions jumping from KK to LP

You're welcome! For such a large upgrade, from 10B to 35B, yes absolutely do a full wipe before flashing anything. I always do a full wipe, though. The built-in LG Backup does a bang up job for me for user apps, user data and limited system data - much faster than Titanium Backup.
You're welcome again!
I have the LG G3 VS985
6.0
47a
When I activated my phone, Verizon started the automatic update. It upgraded to 47a, and was going to upgrade to 48a, but I turned it off. I've rooted the G3 in the past using LGFlashTool V1.8.6.527, but now when I try, it says "Model Information Check Fail".
Here are the files I used:
DLL: LGVS985_20140620_LGFLASHv160.dll
S/W: VS98510B_03.tot
Driver: LGUnitedMobileDriver_S51MAN313AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.13.2
Any suggestions?
Thanks
That's the wrong driver, that's for other G3s. Search LG's website for VS985 and you'll find the right driver.
That's the wrong .DLL too. First, check if the tiny VS985 model printed under the battery has a K after it, like VS985WK. If it does, you can't downgrade it.
If it doesn't, use the newer .DLL at my Android File Host link at the bottom of the first post of @annoyingduck 's stickied return to stock thread in the General section, and in my signature below.
Stock 35B and above require the newer .DLL to downgrade to the 10B TOT, and only 35B and higher KDZs can be flashed (until rooted and flashed a custom Bootstack).
So tried to flash 10b on vs98547a. While in download mode I can get the LG flash tool to hit 4% then it stops ideas?

Thanks for the instructions. I followed them, and I rooted flawlessly! I'm sending some moo-la your way
Also, do you know of any rooted 48A software kdz?

You're welcome! I'm just happy to hear you had success. Thank you, that nice of you! I'll add you to my queue of thanks in my tablet ROM thread whenever I get around to editing my OP of that.
There's no rooted 48A based ROMs yet but there may be in the near future. @xdabbeb 's stock rooted 47A firmware, and his 35B-based VS985 v2.0.0 are the best options out there in my opinion.
Use the built in LG Backup to make trying different stock ROMs relatively painless.

FNG 2 Rooting
I've had my G3 VS985 (48a) for a year now. Until recently it has been acting strange ie: ads on my wallpaper and I cant remove them, notification sounds i've never heard of in my media player and I cant delete them...
This has made me feel like I have no control over my phone.
So, I want to root my phone and install a custom ROM (not sure which one - would love some advice on this) an extra security app and whatever else I can but every video I watch uses a Windows PC and I have a Mac. Does anyone know of a video I can follow step by step? I noticed there is a TowelRoot option but I dont know how to install a custom ROM this way.
Thanks in advance! +1
There's no option for you without a Windows computer, and don't try it with emulation. 48A can't be rooted so far so downgrading is your only option, and software to downgrade is made by LG only for Windows.
You could try a Factory reset though, if uninstalling what Verizon's DTIgnite installed on it's own and using Android's built in app manager to disable as many of Verizon's bloatware apps as it lets you doesn't help.

And I would recommend @xdabbeb 's VS985 v2.0.0 ROM.
What about this video from Androidroot.us.com? It is a step by step one click root process for Mac owners.

Does it say it works on 48A? What worked on 47A doesn't work on 48A so unless it says it does then it likely won't.
OK. So the last video is out of the question. What about this site? http://myrootsolution.com/pricing
Trustworthy?

Let's put it this way, unless they specifically say it works for the latest VZW G3, it probably doesn't.
Believe me, if there was another way to do it, it would be posted here. XDA members are PDQ (pretty darn quick) to post findings like that. If it's not listed here, more than likely it doesn't work.
Or, you could try yourself, but I wouldn't recommend it if that is your only phone.
? i have the vs985. installed the lg bridge & the lgup ,with the dll installed first. the phone when plugged in(proper drivers) says unknown model,but com port says vs985. Ideas? because i want to downgrade to 5.1 so i can root and twrp. any help is always appreciated.
If their is any other way to root I'll try it. All previous methods don't work(47a). Also should I try to do the newest Verizon it's & then root?

Hi, I need a refresher
I just received a replacement LG G3 and I'm trying to root it by downgrading. I am trying the LG Flash Tool method like I did with my last G3
Here's what I have so far:
Software: VS98554AA
Version: 6.0
DLL: LGUP8974.dll
S/W: VS98510B_03.tot
Driver: LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.1.1
If these are the right files, I just need help with the Flash Tool. I've done all the steps correctly, but every time I get a message saying "Failed PreviousLoad()".
Any ideas as to what may be the problem?
Never mind, I tried it again and it worked
I'm trying to use the LG Flash Tool, but it says either "Login for LGST users" or "DLL for megalock not found"
