After unsuccessfully attempting to root my device, I was left with an unbootable phone.
I have tried everything to get my phone back working, with no success and I am losing hope.
I've used both LGUP (with 4 different firmwares, all NAO_US) and LG Bridge, all reporting success at the end, however my phone still does not get past the initial boot screen.
If I reboot it, it will show "Erasing.." and reboot right back to the LG boot screen, and proceed no further than that.
The only thing I can think of is because my phone is OPEN_US, and won't boot using NAO_US.
NAO_US is the only KDZ file that will work with my phone, every other KDZ I've tried just throws an error like "error (OPEN_US->AMZ_US).
I have turned Google inside out, as well as almost every LG firmware website, and have downloaded at least 40GB worth of KDZ files, but I cannot find
OPEN_US KDZ anywhere. I'm not sure if flashing OPEN_US will even work (though, why wouldn't it?), so I may be searching for something that is useless to me.
My LG G8 is Factory Unlocked, purchased from Best Buy - and it seems like nobody else on the planet has this variant. If someone has an OPEN_US KDZ file, I would be extremely
greatful if you could please link it to me. Otherwise, my LG G8 is now a glorified paperweight.
UPDATE:
Fixed!
I was able to locate an OPEN_US KDZ and flash my phone with it. Turned out I had overwritten the wrong partition in QIFL when trying to unlock the bootloader. I had to extract the firmware and manually reflash this file, but afterwards, my phone was successfully booting.

Hello, sorry if this has already been covered, I've been searching for 2 days straight now (I'm new). So, my V10 froze a couple of days ago and restarted, then it got stuck on the LG screen. It made it to the AT&T logo twice, but then went back to the LG screen. Will not boot into Android.
I have been trying to flash my phone but keep running into issues. There seem to be two (2) programs called LGFlashTool, one of which requires a .kdz file (does not seem to exist for the H900). The other requires a .tot (found it!) and a .dll. I would really like to find this .dll file so I can flash my phone and hopefully get it working again. I'm not even trying to root it, just want to boot it up again without exchanging my phone and loosing all of my photos and videos.
There is also the LGUP program, and multiple articles about how to use it. I installed the LGUP_8994 DLL and the Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3 version of the program. I then copied the common folder into the appropriate location. When I plug my phone in on download mode and open LGUP, it says "DLL for H90020j is not installed properly. Please install a DLL package (*.msi) for the model".
Can someone please help me find this .dll file or tell me what I am doing wrong here? All of the guides make this sound like my grandma could pull this off.

I am sorry, but proceed no further. You would be at risk for bricking your phone. There is currently no firmware available for H90020j. There is however firmware for H90010f, but you are already on Marshmallow. You will just have to be patient while we try to find a way to root the device.
There is a sticky in the lg v10 General thread for doing a .tot update. You don't need the .dll file to do the .20j update. All you need to do is download lg drivers, change the lg modem mode to com41 , follow the instructions I think there is a video also. The lgup app will take the .tot file and then it'll be flashing in refurbished mode. This will clean wipe your system to stock 6.0 marshmallow
dear all, i have been trying by myself going thru xda to solve the above issue (missing the h900 model dll). history is i messed the build.prop and the v10 att h900 goes into (bootloop?) LG logo and never got up and i tried to hard reset (showed the yes yes screen) and after that been looking at LG logo for many hours now
tried dl-ed LGUP but ended with unknown (shows usb port 41) and searched for a solution (including the common patch): restart after reinstall (dll first then switch), use run as admin in xp and vista compatible mode... without success and looking into LG Flash Tools route -
LG flash tool method i dl-ed 'rootedH900 TOT' and 'rootedsystemh900' file from some private file server (with xp background?) but again, struck at the v10 model dll file to start...
last attempt dl-ed LG Mobile Tools and happy to know that download mode is working still (picked up by LG Mobile Tools on phone model and updates of recovery file) so i dl-ed the 1.89gb file but failed to connect to the phone to begin updates...
dear all senior, i just bought this 2nd hand from somebody happily and ended semi-bricked by my greed to streamline the performance... i seek all senior's kind understanding and help guide me to recover my v10 - many thanks in advance
i had skyped Tungkickk777 and waiting for his add approval... while waiting, please guide me. many thanks again! - v10 newbie
previous root experience - G3, G4
I just got a Flex 2 for cheap. Model H955
First thing I did was update from 5.0.1 to 6.0.1, with LGUP, using a KDZ.
It went well, phone seemed OK. Then I noticed I had some leftover contact from the previous user. I decided to re-flash the same KDZ, using this time the refurbish option, since it seemed to be the cleanest method.
Bad idea. It seems the flash stop at 27% on LGUP, and 18% showing on the phone screen. It goes pretty smoothly up to that point, then nothing seems to happen anymore. As if it was still updating normally, and this step is just a bit long. Except after 45min, nothing had moved.
I stoped (just by exiting LGUP) and restarted. Once again, no problem. Phone detected, no error. But nothing happens after 27%. LGUP is still running, still showing the time elapsed increasing.
I decided to try another KDZ, and that's when I realised you're supposed to use TOT file to refurbish, and not a KDZ ! Except that if you select a KDZ file on update mode, then switch to refurbish, the process start without any warning.
So, now I'd need a TOT file. French or european. And I can't seem to find any ...
Edit : as I keep googling this, I realise that there might not be any TOT file for h955, and I might have bricked my phone.
****.
Please someone tell me there's something to be done ... I didn't even root or did anything special, I just wanted to restore the stock system. What kind of software let starts the process without any warning when the wrong type of file is selected. That's just stupid !
Edit : It seems h955 TOT files just don't exist. My best bet might be to flash h950 tot files, then update with h955 KDZ and hope for the best, though logically it should not work. But since right now I can't even turn the phone off ...
Actually you can get a tot file from kdz. Just download this tool from here then extract the kdz file with it, You will get DLL file and a DZ file, Rename the extention DZ to tot, That's it. Happy flashing...

Thanks a lot !!
As I kept looking into my half-bricked phone, I wondered if this was really the solution. Reading every messages in threads from this forum, I realised that refurbishing with a KDZ should have worked after all !
It might be that my problem is with driver installation after all. My phone is already stuck in DL mode. And when I plug it in after installing the drivers (no matter wich one), it cannot finish the installation for the phone. Error 10 : device could not be started.
I'm wondering if it's necessary to install the driver with a functionning phone before flashing ...
Nonetheless, this post that I had not found might be incredibly heplfull ! I will try it.
If anyone else is willing ot help me, for memory the situation is as follow.
H955 phone, only boot in download mode.
Refurbish using LGUP stops while flashing "system". Exact percentage vary depending on the KDZ I use, but it's always while doing system. There is no error, but the phone screen stops moving, and nothing more happens.
Flash tool 2014 crash while trying to get phone informations.
Drivers for COM port and USB device can be installed fine, but the phone in itself cannot finish the installation due to "code 10, device did not start"
I'm not sure what to do now, so any help is welcome !
And nope, doesn't work :/
"Unsupported KDZ file format"
Aaaand phone is now OK.
In the end, after trying 3 different drivers and flahing tools, what worked was ... the official one.
Went to LG website, downloaded official driver lg support tool. Told LG support tool to repair. It downloaded it's own image, and flashed it alright.
Now running on clean 6.0.1 install, can stop messing with the phone and actually use it.
Trying to fix a friend's LG G4 that is bootlooping. I can successfully get into download mode so I'm hopeful. I went here http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g4/general/att-h810-to-stock-guide-tot-method-t3248532 and got everything set up, I plug in the phone and open the tool and try to flash using the dll and tot file 10o provided in the thread. It loads on the computer, I know it's communicating because it shows the IMEI number in LG flash tool, gets to 6% and fails.
10o is a little old, I'm pretty sure the phone was on a newer software version, which is likely why it is failing. Anyone have 22b (or the latest if there is a newer one) tot file available to flash? Or if it's not available, any ideas on what i can do at this point?
Thanks!

did this worked? anyone tried?
havent tried it yet. anyone have the guts?
For those of you who had no issue in rooting and installing TWRP; but then, in trying to debloat the system, managed to soft brick your MetroPCS MP450N Stylo 3 Plus: This guide is for you, it should work for other carriers, but I can't test that.
I spent hours in the attempt to fix this problem. After combing many posts,
HERE IS THE SOLUTION:
Download KDZ file for MP450N (Currently MP45010c_00_0821.kdz) from:
https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-mp450-firmwares/
Download UPPERCUT and LGUP from this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/uppercut-lgup-loader-g5-variants-t3511295
Thanks to @autoprime
Install LGUP first, it provides functionality for UPPERCUT.
Make Sure Phone is Powered OFF. Holding Volume Up, Plug phone into Computer Via USB, it will boot into Download mode.
Extract and Run UPPERCUT
Select your phone in UPPERCUT, Set Process to UPGRADE (Refubish gave me an error).
UPPERCUT shows file type as BIN file, click on the file path and hit the [...] button to open the file selector and pick the KDZ file you downloaded (Currently MP45010c_00_0821.kdz).
Hit Start and Wait. Took maybe 2-3 Minutes.
Congratz you now have a factory restored phone.
Be more careful next time.
Maybe actually do a TWRP BackUp before deleting system apps.
You now have to start over with Root and TWRP; but hey, that was the easy part wasnt it?
Many Thanks to all members on the forums working to improve our Android experience.
Thanks @messi2050 , @autoprime

Were you able to get it to work? I am in the same situation after loading Lineage OS on my phone and reverting back to stock rom after finding so many issues with lineage.
Everything seem to work perfect except the finger print reader, It captures finger prints but then it does not recognize them to unlock the phone.
Ive been at this almost 12 hours and i dont know what to do.
Guides say to use LGUP Tool from LG to install the .KDZ file, but LGUP doesnt say my device is connected. Even though it shows in the storage of my computer. Guides said to use UPPERCUT.exe to fix the problem, but it didnt do anything and it still did not detect my device after i ran uppercut, and then LGUP again. And i dont know of any other way of installing the OS besides using LGUP.
I have come to this problem of trying to reinstall my OS because i dont have an OS on my android phone anymore. I accidentally removed it when i was in TWRP trying to fix a problem i was having with Google Play, which would crash, and i couldnt complete the factory reset. So i was trying to repair files, clear caches, and wipe anything i could to just let me factory reset, and i accidentally deleted my entire operating system and everything that was on my phone. I dont have any folders in the storage window in my computer. It just says my phones name, and i click on it, and nothing is inside. I just want to reinstall the OS so i can start from scratch again. If anyone can please help me, it would be greatly appreciated. I dont really know what to do.
Im on day two now, and i still have no been able to fix my issue. I have tried here, reddit r/AndroidQuestions/, and tried their Discord. I havent gotten one single person who has tried to help me out. And im not sure what else to try. Ive tried everything i know of to try and fix LGUP. No LG program will recognize my device. I had downloaded LGUP, LGFlashTool, LG Bridge and none of them say my device is connected. Forums say to download the Common DLL file and paste it into the LGUP and UPPERCUT folder, and then run UPPERCUT.exe. I have done so. I have run LGUP, it didnt work, then made sure the process was ended, then executed UPPERCUT.exe, and they still would not find my device. After literally 24 hours of actual time spent on this (excluding hours spent sleeping) i honestly just do not know what else to do.
Please help.
I was able to find this page:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/rom-fw-us99820e-twrp-zip-t3868415
I just downloaded the most recent file, put it into my TWRP folder on my computer. Booted into TWRP and installed the compressed Zip file and i was good to go.
I didnt know that there was Zip files for the ROM until a few short hours about and thats what i did and it fixed my problem.

You never want to user Uppercut with LG V30 on Oreo or later. You need Dev Patched LGUP.
Why are you asking here? If you have bootloader unlock and root and TWRP, then you followed the WTF instructions in the V30 thread. Why are you not asking there? A V30S is still a v30. That's why this forum is dead. Because all V30S users are in the V30 forum.

OK, you finally went to the V30 forum. Because that's what you have -- one of the V30 (Joan) variants. All the V30/V30+/V30S all run the same firmware.
We've told people this over and over....
V30S is just another JOAN "V30"
