Thanks for the posts. Just picked up this bad boy today and wasn't too sure myself.
Root complete. Now on to unlock and flashing recovery. I think I might try the CM mod out tonight!

Not working
I just picked up a LG Optimus G E973 (TELUS), yesterday, and this method isn't working. I followed the Youtube video and still nothing. I've tried it on both my Windows XP and Windows 7 laptops. Both just hang at the "If successful I will tell you ... " shell message.
The only thing that I can think of that might cause this problem is that I received a Software Update last night. My software version is E97310g instead of the E97310f that the Youtube video shows. Are there any other methods that will work or is this it?

Since the update, no current root method works, that I know of. I have the Telus OG as well, and I have the update available, but im going to wait until there is a new method of rooting. hope that explains it

As the post right above yours mentions, it's probably due to Telus firmware which was just released last night/this morning.

The only way this is possible is to flash the old stock rom and root that, then use my guide to update OTA. This is what I've done and it works for me.

Well damn. I guess I'll wait a bit longer for a reliable root method to come along. I'm sure it will happen. I just want to trash Facebook and a couple other small programs that I want nowhere near my phone. I can wait a bit longer for that.
Thanks anyway.

Use kdz updater to downgrade. Root as per normal than use root ota keeper and apply update. Worked on my telus e973

Make sure to do a full flash (cse flash) also try the global v10j. It was my favorite and added the most features. It also had the best batter life since v10f.
Sent from my LG-D851 using XDA Free mobile app

Installed J version!! 4:45 use, just whatsapp and facebook,1:40 screen = 60% .... This same use on S5 I would still have at least 80% .... Like this I will never reach 5hs of screen as I see people saying on forums...
Beside I didn't installed any other app yet... Probably if I install other apps that sync with internet, this battery usage will be much higher...
No doubt S5 have a much better battery life....
And why does Android OS keep always on? Without using my phone, neither Wi-Fi or gps, it keeps on like not going to deep sleep

Hello can you give the source link of that confirmed info? Because here on Q&A section nobody have report to full flashed the KDZ of 855... I just made a system dump from v10j and then flashed it through recovery. Also boot is the same but we thought flashing KDZ could have some issue with modem or partitions size.
Now I read this and think is very cool to know some people already tried to flash kdz for 855 with success but it would be great to add the source link to the tread on Q&A section with the correct step to step... because another user tried to flash an European kdz but it didn't let him because of different model.

To restore default ROM:
1-) Download and install LGMobile Support Tool.
2-) Start it and wait it for self-update.
3-) Connect the phone using USB Cable, wait until LGMobile Support Tool recognizes the phone.
4-) Click on top menu Additional Resources (Recursos Adicionais) ==> Upgrade Recovery.
5-) Wait for it check your phone model, download the correct ROM and install it. (DATA WILL BE WIPED).

That user badtzo is saying is me, really wasn't able when I tried.
Would really be glad that this was clarified.

I have a brazilian D855p and I'm flashing D855 kdz from day one.
I dont think the software needs time to settle. That's because one time I saw Francisco Franco (nexus recognized developer) telling that's bs, as the software is only a bunch of zeros and ones and no need for that. But anyway, my battery is great so far, getting 4h SOT when on 4g and almost 6h on wifi. Try to install a custom rom like cloudy or AndroidNow HD and give it a try...

You could try with LG pc suite. You probably don't get the OTA cause you're not using the AT&T lines.

Even the PC suite is saying no update found. How do I update to lollipop

You need to have a AT&T sim in your LG G3 and you have to be in North America in order for the OTA to show up

Can I directly install this update by flashing it. I am not able to find the stock firmware files

KDZ available for D85120E!

I take NO CREDIT for this - it was made by LG and the firmware was found on the (unofficial) LG Firmware Twitter, @LG_firmware.
http://t.co/TBZG4h0tIj
I tried expanding the shortened URL, but the link is straight to a download site and the unshorteners will not work on it. The link will directly download D85120E_00.kdz.
Supposedly, This method will bring back root for you. I haven't tried it yet, but members on Reddit are reporting it as working. I will update once I look more into it.
Use this with the LG Flash Tool if you are not getting the update on your phone or through the PC Suite.

Hey guys, just a question. Do you think 20E will fix the wonky WiFi calling issues on 20B? That's about my only issue with lollipop. BTW, stock, rooted, debloated.

Update Notes 5 AT & T Unlocked , outside the US

Hello everyone. I hope some of you can really help me . I bought this model phone UNLOCKED and it works great with any SIM . The problem is updates. Not being in the US territory do not get it OTA updates via Smart Switch ( really strange thing ) . BUILD are still the old , the first relase . Sorry for the English difficult to understand . I really hope someone can help me . Is there a way to install it manually by Odin ?. Also it can be made ​​available for downlaod the latest update ?. Thank you in advance.

try downloading samsung kies in your computer, i believe you can update there manually even you're outside of the united states, only IF at&t pushes an official update, this device is different from international galaxy note 5 which is always getting the update first before this AT&T version,
but correct me if im wrong. the latest update version of at&t is 5.1.1 Baseband N920AUCU2AOI6

Hello , sorry to say just now . However it is the latest version that you wrote but I'm still the first. Smart Switch does not detect any updates to this day ; I do not know if you can flash via Odin but this relase is not yet available for downlaod .

I got an Note 5 64 gb AT&T, I live in Mexico City and I had the same issue, I solved it activating the SIM included via Internet, I putted into the phone and voila! I was be able to do the update via WiFi. Hope that helped you!

Hello , thanks for the reply . I think you 've succeeded because you're in the US territory ; Europe could never engage the AT & T server .

Have you tried? I was in Mexico when did that, through Telcel roaming, not AT&T I found a tutorial to activate the SIM through AT&T portal, you should try it, maybe it'll work
