i Softbricked my LG G3 - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I bought my LG G3 from Orange in france, my phone got stuck in a bootloop after i tried to flash a theme.
after looking on the forums, the solution was the flash the original LG G3 software, the tutorials are pretty easy. My only concern is, since the software on my phone is a modified "Orange" version, is it safe to flash a non "Orange" one?
thanks

Have you tried searching for the correct ROM trough LG's own servers using your IMEI??
Sent from my LG-D855

Yes it's safe as long as you install the right version. Is you phone the 855(international version)? If so, try the 10j that is posted here in the forum. Is the best so far.

new to lg g3 questions

hi guys im new to the lg g3 (well any lg phone) just a couple of questions
from what ive read there isnt many roms due to the locked bootloader will the bootloader be unlocked in the future?
i have the D855 uk vodafone model is they a working TWRP or CWR for the g3?
ive rooted so does this mean i can at least remove some bloteware?
thanks guys sorry for questions :victory:

Probably yes, if the @thecubed and others beat the protection (last post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...3-vs98510b-t2890349/post55729952#post55729952)
i have the D855 uk vodafone model is they a working TWRP or CWR for the g3?
There is only Tethered version and I would not recommend to use it. It's for advanced users only and it's not a "real" recovery. More on http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/recovery-twrp-2-7-1-3-t2831668
ive rooted so does this mean i can at least remove some bloteware?
Yes, you can... , or freeze it. If you will the cause softbrick, use LG Flash Tool 2014 and flash in NORMAL mode latest stock ROM you used or use LG PC Suite. After this you need to re-root it. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-unroot-ota-using-lg-pc-suite-pc-t2802286)

thanks for the replys if the bootloader doesnt get unlocked then thats going to destroy the g3 for development isnt it
is they a way to flash latest stock rom and get off the vodafone branded rom so i at least get all the latest OTAs?
Not sure I understand you question, but if you mean, whether you will be able to update the phone via OTA in the future, it depends.
If not or if it will not work, unroot your phone, install OTA and the re-root and you should be fine.
But still - all of that is already described in dedicated threads, don't be afraid to take a look around. :fingers-crossed:
As for the development - I guess when it will not get unlocked, it will be from my perspective one of the most wasted money on Android phone for many.

lol sorry what i ment is im on a vodafone branded firmware now and i wanted to flash a unbranded latest uk stock rom so it will be first to get OTA as branded firmwares can be a bit behind is it possible?
thanks again:good:
I don't think so, but someone else should confirm it.
Eg. you can download FW based on IMEI (http://lg-firmware-rom.com/download-firmware.php?f=YOUR_IMEI_HERE), not based on whether it's branded or not.
But still you have option to use the tools like LG Flash Tool 2014 and simply flash latest firmware you want (for your variant)

I know its confusing but you can only flash TOT files with that tool - if you get your FW via the imei cause its a KDZ, for KDZ flashing you need to use this tool...

You must install an official update by using LG PC SUITE to come back branding. Try flashing a kdz of previous release and then update with pc suite.

No there isnt unless you downgrade to KitKat
But it seems i cant find any KitKat firmwares for the F400L online
f400
In as much as the g3 is a GREAT "looking" fone with "some" great aspects.
after going thru the issues i have met with my korean version, LG has created A DISASTER
there are more than 12 dif. versions none is even close to the other.
the korean versions are ORPHANS they have download and recovery entries issues no developers
ONLY the d855 seems to have a bit of a base.
my advise look for a kitkat KDZ file or TOT and load them via download root it with towel root and don't ever think about
doing anything else.
this is my first and last ever LG fone.
even the ONE+ has better developers than this crap.
google f400k 10a or 10e files and load them, root with towel root and be happy
the kdz 10a or 10e are available in some vietnamese boards
supposedly they have the 20e and 20h versions and after loading these under recovery
if you go back also under recovery and load a preset superuser 2.39 you're supposed to be able to root it
it never worked for me, once i set the lollipop, i have no way of getting into recovery mode and if i do both
under TWRP to fone craps
i personally am waiting for the ONE+ TWO and will give this one away, it's a LEMON.
good luck

Soft bricked - flash stock

I have a G3 that I tried the 1 click root method on. It said it was successful but on reboot it is stuck at the LG logo.
I am trying to follow a guide to flash the stock firmware. (androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants)
Can someone please tell me whether the guide is still good and whether the link it directs to (androidrootz.com/p/lg-g3-stock-fiwares) is where I want to get the firmware from? It seems to be over a year old at this point.
Also I am a bit confused about which firmware I want, I thought my version was the D855 International version, does that mean I can use either the D855 EUR or HK firmwares?
Sorry if some of these questions are obvious, got the device yesterday and it is my first Android phone! Also sorry the links are clickable, I don't have 10 pots yet.
Got it back to 4.4.2 using the aforementioned pages. Flashed the European firmware after reading some stuff elsewhere.

LG G3 D858HK10d Unable to find a way to update to Marshmallow, stuck at KitKat

Hi.
I purchased a second hand LG G3 quite a few months back, only to find out after trying to update that my version was the D858HK, which does not seem to have any official way to update past KitKat on the phone. After some digging around, I did find some methods, like flashing the KDz file. However, none of the KDz files I've found on the internet seem to match the model of my phone, which is D858HK10d, or v10d.
I was wondering if there is any other way to get rid of KitKat and move on to the newer versions.
It is rooted.
Thanks in advance, XDA Forums. You guy's do the Android God's work.

Did you try LG PC Suite?
Also here is the Marshmallow kdz file.(The first one)

LG PC Suite doesn't recognize the phone. And the kdz files there dont include the model of my phone, which is a D858HK10d.
Where are you getting the model #? The 10d part may refer to the ROM as 20x would be LP, and 30x would be MM.

10d is the Software Version of Android KitKat..
Your device is D858HK.
So you can proceed installing that kdz file.
