I just bought a G Pad and I have rooted it and installed TWRP. I want to install a custom rom but I am not sure which ones are compatible with my device. My software version is v50010a. I see lots of roms for v50020a or v50020b. Are these roms compatible with my device? Sorry for the noob question.

After you install a custom recovery, you can flashing any custom rom, provided it is compatible with the device model (V500 or V510).)

The difference between 20a and 20b stock is just region b in North America and GB, a everywhere else. 20b has the same external SD card issues as 20a ... you need to use the built in File Manager app to get around the issue.
External Sd card issue
The issue of the sd card, is due to the new rules and restrictions that google has introduced in the kitkat.

Hello,
even though I purchased my phone in Germany I got a LG Benelux E975 version for which there are no updates for KitKat through the official
LG Software available.
Are there any methods to fix this or why won't the German version wouldn't work on my device and why does it is not launched yet.
The support had no new information for me.

Is it network locked or unlocked?
Also, you can flash the E975V20A on it if its E975 Good luck!

It is unlocked. Is there any risk of making the device unusable, how do I convert it to a V20A version?

If your phone is Right up stock phone, follow tutorial to get Custom recovery (TWRP or clockworkmod) and plainly flash an upgrade zip file
Can you provide me the links to both threads?
Thank you
Hey!
Going to make this as short and simple as possible.
So I was runinng stock LG G3 4.4.2, but about 1 week ago I recieved the 5.0 update to my phone. I was all glad and dandy until I got sick to my stomach with McAfee (unfreeze-able and non-removable) and games starting to lagg without device even getting hot...
So I decided to Root and run CM or some other more lightweight ROM, but to my greatest fear, 5.0 seems unrootable atm!? I am at a loss here.. I am in no way happy with the Lollipop update, I can't even see if my device is running ART or not, and the overall experience feels even more sluggish than before - Need a 'get out of jail' card over here ~
Sidenote; I've only ever owned Samsung Devices (S2 and S4) as main phones, so I feel a bit lost when it comes to how LG run things (no Odin is my primary issue, as well as limited support since the device is not all that popular).
TL;DR:
1. Is there a working Root for LG G3 International d855 (32gb, 3gb RAM)devices running stock 5.0?
2. If not 1: Is there a way to downgrade from 5.0 to KitKat again?
3. If 2: What's the best way to Root the device with, and what Kitkat version should I run?
1. No.
2. See FAQ in my signature for links for guide to downgrade (guide is listed as unroot in faq).
3. PurpleDrake should do.

I am currently following your 10 (6) linked guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
But I am already stuck on 1.. http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/
What firmware file do I pick? Using the 32Gb LG-D855 (international), and I picked it up along with a carrier contract from "Telia" (Swedens biggest carrier).

Yes, that is the guide.
You need firmware for D855. Latest Lollipop version is 20F.

Wait what? Exactly which file do i download, to downgrade from 5.0 to 4.4 "KitKat" again?
Currently downloading this file; "D855 TOTs/ -> LGD855AT-V10e-EUR-32G.zip" Is that the wrong file?

Download kdz file.
If you want to downgrade then some v10 version. V10N is the latest.
I've recently bought the lg g3 unlocked from Amazon in the UK. I updated it to official lollipop not knowing it would unable me to root it. Now I'm looking to downgrade to kit kat in order to root it with purpledrake, install TWRP and the Cyanogenmod 12. My problem is I don't know exactly what firmware to install. The only information I have about the phone is that it is the D855 16GB and that its software version is "V20f-EUR-XX". If some one could point out the kit kat version to be installed and any problem with my plan I would be very grateful. Thank you

Thank you very much! Should I simply flash with the LG Flash Tool 2014 tool?
Yes. You will have to use CSE flash

So I'm planning to root and flash a custom lollipop ROM on LG G3 (F400s and build number 10t). I've rooted and installed custom ROMs in a couple of devices before, but apparently there's a number of versions of this device. So my question is, does the process of rooting/installation of custom ROMs vary from one version to another or is the same for all versions? I've seen some tutorials for the D855 version, all I want to know is can I go through the same steps for the F400S version. Is ChupaChups ROM worth trying? Also, do I have to download a separate gapps if I plan to flash the ChupaChups ROM? Pardon the noobness fellas.
Edit: build number.
Hey guys, My dad is willing to update his LG G4'S version (Currently running Lollipop), I do understand a thing or two in rooting, custom roms and recoverys , however, I own a galaxy s6 - it has no AOSP Roms, only stock based. and my father is used to his phone as it is, I don't think flashing cyanogenmod will be a good idea, he likes the functions LG added and stuff like that( Yeah, I don't understand it too ). Are there any good MM stock based roms?
Thanks and sorry for my English
Cant u just ota official mm?
If not, what variant does he have? not all roms can be flashed.

Sorry for not mentioning - H815, Also, what is the newest official MM version (carrier-free)? I don't have any OTA's in my place currently unfortunately.
I use the stock MM ROM ver 20D listed in Android Development section, and it is lightning fast and smooth!

Well good news, you got the bootloader unlockable variant!
To be honest anything with H815 in it is what you can do.
You can flash stock MM (I'd reccomend v20h its located in the general section)
You can flash cm13,
Be free little birdy!
