Issues rooting and Downgrading. Factory Reset Status 2.

I got my LG G3 yesterday night and I tried rooting it for hours, I was on Andrioid 5.0.1 and couldn't get it to work after 6 hours of trying so this morning I tried to downgrade back to stock firmware and now everytime I try I get the Factory Reset Status 2 screen and I am told to just remove the battery and it'll boot but nope it just goes back to the same screen. This is becoming a nightmare I have tried multiple PC's Operating Systems, drivers, firmware files, and multiple tutorials and I cannot fix this.

I think the issue is when the phone reboots instead of being a COM port it becomes a MTP device so LG Flash Tool can't find the device.

I really need help, I didn't plan on spending the whole day trying to fix this but it seems I am going to have to.

Downgrading 5.1.1

Hello,

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I have searched and have not come across a proper answer. I got m N4 on 4.4. I upgraded to 5.0.1 and didnt like the battery life, so I flashed back to 4.4. I recently tried out 5.1.1. I like i, but still prefer Kit Kat. When I tried to go from 5.1.1 back to 4.4, I got boot loop. I am absolutely sure mI did it correctly I also tried restoring a backup of 4.4......no dice. I assume I am stuck on Lollipop once you upgrade to 5.1.1?

I am using odin with 100% stock kitkat firmware.

Problems With Downgrading my New S5 To Kitkat

Hello All, just need a bit of help here. I'm in a bit of a bind, I really dislike Lollipop and I wanted to downgrade my new S5 To Kitkat. However I've hit some road blocks, I've tried all the firmware downloads for it, the Odin, Kias 3, Samsung drivers, All the good stuff. However when I set everything up I get the error message on my phone of SW rev check fail fused 2 > binary 1 Now I've come to these forums to get this answered but I have a few Ideas, weather it's the fact that the device already came pre-loaded with Lollipop and never had kitkat to begin with is the first and biggest concern. I'm looking for any and all types of solutions, um-installations, removals, roms, roots, anything to get back the be fantastic os that Kitkat was.

Thanks in Advance for any advice.
Questions are always welcome.

Hi there,
I have D5803 running 5.1.1 and I wanted to downgrade to 4.4.4.

Downgrading from Android 5.1.1 to Android 4.1

I have Pac Rom Android 5.1.1 installed on my rooted sg3 and I need to do a carrier unlock. I contacted ATT to get the unlock code and the code they provided didn't work. Now I want to downgrade to Android 4.1 and try the UMTS menu trick as described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2176719

I have tried Odin many times (with many versions, different computers, USB cables, etc) and every time Odin fails to flash Android 4.1. with a Fail AUTH error. I have used Odin successfully in the past many times with this phone but am unable to get it to work this time around.

Does anyone know how to downgrade the sg3 from 5.1.1 to 4.1? Or even better does anyone how to carrier unlock the sg3 when it has 5.1.1 installed on it?

Thanks!

Need help downgrading TL-10 from 5.1

I have he TL-10 version (Gold) and I updated it to B313 5.1 lollipop a few days back but I'm not liking it very much, my phone becomes very laggy sometimes and I can't seem to find any way to downgrade it back to 4.4.2 Kitkat. I've searched online but can't find B300 transition firmware for the TL-10 although one does exist for the TL-09 version. Can someboy help me in downgrading it back to Kitkat. I've done a factory reset as well but that didn't help either.
