Root LG G3 - LG FlashTool Error, Can't Boot

I've posted this same question on XDA Developer Fourms.

The Problem:
Yesterday I decided I wanted to Install MIUI 5 on my LG G3 (AT&T, D850). Not realizing that MIUI Doesn't suppport my phone's variant (D850), I proceeded to accidentally install the International version on my phone. (Which is model D855 and Replaced my kernel with the International variant.) When I tried booting it up, all i got was 10 Minutes of the "LG" logo, then a Kernel Panic.
Not worrying about it too much, I knew i had all the tools necessary to Re-Flash stock Firmware.

Wrong.

When I tried re-installing the D850 firmware, I got "Download Failed."
Still not too worried, I decided to download the International Version .tot file (D855),
and tried flashing that.
This time I got further, but After it reached 6%, I got "Download Failed" again because of a "Partition Change Fa..." (It's cut off, But i'm assuming that last word is 'Fail')
((This "Download Failed" came just after "LAF: Bin_User_mode", If that helps in any way.))

I have no idea what to do. I tried uisng the .kdz Method also, with the D855 Firmware, with No luck.
I can't seem to find a .kdz file for the AT&T Variant of the LG G3, Just a .TOT file.

My Question:
What Do I Do? Should I contact LG for Assistance, or AT&T Perhaps?
Has anyone else had this issue before? I can supply further Information about the errors, if needed.

Please Help! I'm panicking!
Thanks!
 
Im in the same situation, try flash tot 6% error change partition fail..... do you find the solution o fix this?

I did end up finding a fix, but forgot exactly how I did it. If I remember corrextly, you need to put the D850. TOT file, and find (the other kind of file extension, I forgot what it was) That was meant for an LG G2 and was created to by pass the verification. What the Flash tool is trying to do is match that secondary file with the Kernel on your phone. So you have to find a file that will trick it into thinking you still have the D850 kernel on your phone.
