Hey XDA, I'm having a bit of a problem. I got my G5 just recently and I wanted to go ahead and unlock the bootloader so I could install some custom ROMS (I'm not a fan of LG's ux), but I ran into a sticky situation. I was trying to flash the TOT file for rooting h830 with LGUP when I found out that it doesn't work on Nougat. I tried to cancel it but now I'm just stuck in firmware update at 0%. The code at the bottom says 633A B50. I can get into fastboot but I can't really go anywhere from there and I've gotten to stock recovery but all it does is factory reset and boot me straight back to firmware update. I downloaded the stock nougat kdz file but LGUP won't flash it; sometimes it says invalid, other times it gives me the error code 0x2000 CEFS::Initialize. This is a brand new (kind of expensive) phone and I can't send it to LG for repairs since I unlocked the bootloader and probably voided warranty so I'm really desperate for a solution. Can anyone help me out?

Was your phone on the 20a version before you tried flashing the 10d root tot file and did you actually cancel the process within LGUP while it was flashing the phone?
Another user had a similar problem but he flashed the 20a version before he accidentally flashed the 10d root tot and he fixed it by just flashing the stock 20a within LGUP.
Assuming you can still get into download mode you should be able to fix your device.
Try flashing this kdz uploaded by @autoprime
downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G5/H830/H83020a/H83020a_00_1107.kdz
If flashing is successful factory reset your phone from the stock recovery after.
Thanks, that worked but I had to do a little tinkering before it did. LGUP wouldn't flash it because it kept saying invalid and some other random reasons but I found a program called uppercut that allowed it to flash. I was able to get back to stock and then I used the dirtycow exploit to flash TWRP. All's good now on XenonHD.
so I thought I had a grasp on the unlocking rooting myself. I was getting the error in lgup where it doesn't recognize my device at all. I unlocked the oem and it did its own flash afterwards then I had to go and reset unknown sources. then I tried to do the lg up flash assuming all I needed from my 20i was the v10d arb01 may 23, I picked the upgrade and in the middle of it it failed. then it rolled back. so I tried it several more times in lgup and it failed so I tried the arb 01 march 4 with full root and it failed.
Edit: okay lI found uppercut and it reconnected me to LGUP then I used the flashable 20a file and that patched me right up. But no root, I can do a 1 click now I guess but what about a flashable twrp or can I just install it like the old cwm or x-parts? where to now? do I try the 10d one with root? I'm really tired of looking and blindly downloading tot and kdz files hoping they work? My main goal is to slap RR remix on this for anyone that would give me a hand
I need help please. I cannot find a current kdz file. H830 Tmobile usa non root using Lgup. Tried one said something about anti roll back
KDZ

Just wondering if you finally found one i have a few that i have downloaded and some didn't work but i did find one that would work..
Anyways when u open lgup are you in download mode on your phone..have you tried uppercut
and try searching for h83020a_00_1107.kdz thats the one that worked for me then after it installs just boot up and set everything up get connected to wifi and it will update ota to the newest rom
I have been trying to root my T-Mobile LG G Pad X 8.0 for the past few days and I keep running into the same problems.
I have unlocked the bootloader and go to flash a KDZ file through the LGUP Software to root but it always gives me an error if I'm flashing any other KDZ except for the Nougat one which installs every time. I have made sure that the bootloader is unlocked, it's on USB file transfer, changed the name of the LGUP_c file and everything. I have no idea what to do; any help would be greatly appreciated!
Okay so basically I went to root my phone and got stuck uploading the firmware to my phone with a bunch of errors I couldnt fix the errors so I decided to go back and just install the stock android back to my phone well... I cant.... :crying: I downloaded a version I thought was stock and I just get back on lgup "invalid KDZ file" if anyone has any idea how to help me It would mean the world... I really need my phone up and running again ASAP!!!!
thanks
update
welp nvm got it fixed.... xD
how did you fix it?
Hello and good day,
Just got my new almost mint condition LG G3 VS985, this is a replacement for my Old D851 but as far as I start using it I just realize how different this new baby is from my previous loved one starting with the locked Bootloader, then I realize Im not able to download any Ota, this baby came with 47A, so I downgrade to 10B, everything is running great with KitKat but so far Im not able to update for any way using OTA or even LG Update tool is not able to recognize the phone, so Im kind of jammed in 10B.
Then I root it and install TWRP, my question is if I install TOT file with 10B version, Will I ever be able to download OTA over my At&T Network In Mexico? If not, is there any specific version you suggest me to stay On, I like stock but I have bloatware, also is there any Debloated Stock ROM such some for the D851?
Othe weird situation is that Im not able to enter download mode, Is there any chance this phone was a clone G3?
As I said this came with 47A, LGUP was able to downgrade to 10B so Im not sure what can be wrong.
