What is the difference between models? Is it a ton of work for the devs to port it over?

I wish I had time to learn this stuff...
I don't know how difficult it is to do, but I can't imagine it's very easy or it would be done already.

Can't wait for this to be ported...loving my AOSP at the moment though!

Port! Port! Port! Port!

I want! I want! (wish I knew dev work)

Porting it shouldn't require extensive testing since the release to hardware for d855 is almost identicle to ours but the kernel has to play well otherwise we will have to wait for t-mobiles official release. The real question is how easy will it be to reroot.

At this point I don't care about root, I just want Stock Lollipop on my T-mobile LG G3.

Still no lollipop

DONT DO IT!! It breaks root and thats about all it does.
I started noticing that every time I would update to the latest version then root my D851 I would almost immediately recieve an update from Tmo. It's something built into their version of the firmware, maybe in the ever intrusive Tmo bloatware (My account etc), but it seems they can detect root and thats all these updates are for. To break your root access.
I ended up getting sick of it, installing TWRP and flashing the Unofficial CM12 build. No real problems with it so far.

The next update I'll do will either be stock lollipop or CM12 official.

I heard someone say that" Its like that can detect you have root" I know for a fact that T-Mobile can detect that you have root.. Hell they told me over the phone that my phone is rooted. Only thing they didnt tell me was my OS version. which changes from time to time.. and yes its LP. not the stock LP that we should be getting soon. I also checked into
when will we get LP on T-Mobile and they told me, between April and Summer time.. it was supposed to be release already but some problems delayed it.
Dont forget that when Google releases the LP then LG has to get with all major Carriers and agree what goes into and what doesnt go into.. and then it gets tested by carrier for they told me 2 weeks before the OK is givin over to Carrier (T-Mobile) . Then LG wil Roll out the releases..
Me Personaly, I wont update to stock LP till I know there is a ROOT method that works.. I just want my wifi calling back. which only T-Mobile has.. so thats why I want the T-Mobile LP.. But till Root is working with stock T-Mobile LP. I will just wait......... I run ACIP 5.02 and Resurrection Remix 5.02 with MultiROM..

It's built in my account via diagnostics to ensure that's what is causing the problems or not during troubleshooting. And no, we do not push out updates to break root. That's not our priority. We dgaf what you do with your phone, but if it's rooted it just voids warranty, that's all.

What is the best possible way to update a LG Optimus G Pro F240L to Lollipop?

Hi everybody,
I am a new member here. I am from India.
First off, I admit that I know nothing about custom ROM and flashing (You can call me an idiot)
I have been using a LG Optimus G Pro F240L (Rooted and Unlocked) for past 1 & Half years.. I want to update it with Lollipop in the best and safest possible way. ..and I want LG's stock features too (Stock android apps are not that great. For example, dialer, contacts, messenger, alarm clock are far better in LG's stock apps). Some people say to use LG's stock Lollipop ROM ......while some say to use a ROM based on LG's Stock ROM. I don't know what's the difference among the two.
Detailed description About My Phone
Phone Type: It came as Rooted and Unlocked. I want to upgrade it from Jellybean (4.1.2) to Lollipop
My Location: India
GSM network being used: Vodafone India
I am not allowed to post external link as I am a new member here. So I can't upload screenshots to make it more understandable with my phone's specifications. Please tell me your email address and I will send them.
After you're done checking out all those screenshots, please guide me through a step-by-step process. I don't want to get screwed
A whole lot of thanks that you gave it some of your precious time

You could try flashing the Lollipop KDZ using the LG Flash Tool like I did. I should warn you, though. Lollipop can't be rooted.
Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/opt...ficial-lollipop-5-0-1-kdzs-f240k-l-s-t3042330

Nobody ?
Nobody there to help me? :crying:

Thanks that you replied. I have a few questions.

Thanks that you replied. I have a few questions.
Is it for any LG G Pro F240L? I thought factors like "CPU version" and all are also to be taken into account to locate a suitable ROM.
Will that work in Indian basebands after update? I mean, do I have to encounter any signal drop out in Indian network?
What about the UI and apps in this update? Did you get LG's stock apps? Or its just stock android Lollipop version?
What did you mean when you said "Lollipop can't be rooted"? Did you mean any phone running a lollipop version of android can't be rooted at all? OR, it's the issue with this Lollipop ROM only?
How is the experience after this update? Anything bad happened so far? How is battery backup?
Can you please give me your mail ID so I can send you some screenshots? I think you can guide me better if you see them.

1. Just download kdz file for F240L.
2. It should work in India.
3. You will have all LG's apps and also many korean apps.
4. Some users said it could be rooted. Just try kingroot, iroot, vroot,...( I haven't tested on my F240L)
5. The battery life is average, about 3h30' -4h on-screen, not as good as kitkat.

1. I don't think it matters, I have the F240L myself, flashed the respective KDZ and the process went smoothly.
2. I'm pretty sure the network signals will stay the same for the most part. I'm from Pakistan and although I could make calls when I wanted, the signals were a bit inconsistent, as in, it would show no signals on rare occasion. Never had this problem with Kitkat.
3. Pretty much what irt118's post said. All the LG apps from the previous version stay, although updated with the nice new Material Design that makes it more appealing to look at and more satisfying to touch. Lots of Korean bloatware and pop-ups like on any previous ROM for this phone.
4. I should have clarified, only this Lollipop ROM can't be rooted. I've tried most of the mentioned methods (One-Click-Root, Kingo Root, KingRoot etc.) only to see that they had failed.
5. The update is in no way a shoddy one, however, it does have its flaws. My number one complain would be that there's no root method for it, ergo, all the Korean pop-ups and apps just jump in your face from time to time. Other than that, it's a bit slower than Kitkat, you just don't get the same smooth experience, the games see a few drop in frames, nothing horrible or too noticeable. It also heats up pretty quickly now. The battery drained very fast when I first updated it, but removing some of the bloatware and using Battery Doctor really changed the battery timing, in fact, this was the least of my bothers.
I'll add that everything else works the same, Wifi, NFC, Bluetooth and the like. The system apps have a very pleasing look to them and some apps also get better functionality. I'd really recommend not upgrading to this if your first priority is rooting the device. Upgrading to Kitkat would prove to be better in the end.

It sounds like "an update in looks at the cost of performance". No I am not going to make my life miserable. Three of your points made my decision. Dimag ki batti jala di aap ne bhai. Salaam and thanks a lot
Is there any better version of it? Or has anybody else come up with anything which doesn't have these drawbacks?

Hi, Im An Lg GPro F240l user from Pakistan, I updated my OS from stock kitkat to stock lollipop and I have successfully rooted my phone through Kingroot PC software, since then my wifi sucks, it will drop after some minutes randomly, specially during video streaming or skype calls, then it will reconnect after 10-20 seconds, secondly wifi speed will suddenly decrease, e.g: it will show a download speed of 10-20 kbps while my other phones will show 500-800 kbps,so clearly lollipop update has done something strange with wifi, Any solution? Anyone?
Second thing Im struggling at is, doing CWM recovery, i tried a lot of things, used Freegee, Used CWM recovery. Apk, but i didn't get success, and i think lollipop update locked the bootloader, so my question is, Can anyone tell me a step by step method of how to do custom recovery on LG G pro F240l with a locked bootloader.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Questions to experienced rooted LG G3 users

So first of all, i've been reading threads on XDA for the pas few years whenever i need to look something up that has to do with android or so but never actually posted myself. I'm making this thread because i couldn't find the answer i want. Excuse me if I don't do this following the guidelines right or anything.
So i want to root my LG G3 because i've rooted my previous phones (Galaxy S and Nexus 4) as well and i liked the roms i was flashing. I didn't really care about missing touchwiz' features when flashing a new rom and Nexus is already running stock so I wasn't worried about that either.
The question is for me now: What LG features will I miss when flashing another rom (E.g. CM12, ParanoidAndroid...) So in terms of the features that LG has put in their skin itself. Also what other remarkable changes will happen? Performance changes? And will I be able to use my camera the original way?
I hope any of you can help me out with this question and enlighten me a bit more.
Thanks in advance!

I can sum up a bit of lost features:
- The beautiful LG UI
- LG stock apps ( can be ported tho )
- Knock code
- Navigation button hide per-app settings

Will the camera work as usual if you'd download the camera apk? For example laser focus and the same quality as it normally should be? Because I don't like the google camera app.
And also, would you recommend flashing a different rom?

I'm the same addicted as you to the lovely LG G3 rom but i wanted more geeky feeling so i flashed CloudyG3 which is an improved stock rom which is still using the G3 firmware but alot faster and more options available.
I can only recommend you to use that rom since others were not that good imo.
Also i don't know about the camera thing but i assume it's the same on CloudyG3 rom.

Yes i would recommend KingoRoot for PC but you have to uncheck all the software they suggest you to install along the root process, i did not had any problems with Kingo Root but i've heard people complaining about it.
One click root applications like Towelroot, Framaroot and Stumproot does not work anymore on Lollipop stock roms since they were patched by LG.
I usually prefer to use oneclick root apps to avoid using my PC for little tasks + it's alot faster and easier.
So i suggest you to root it with Kingo Root using a PC.
And regular Xposed does not work yet on Lollipop but the Xposed Alpha version ( which you can find on XDA search ) does work perfectly.

Can you tell me how much screen on time do you usually get with CloudyG3 rom?
I just flashed this rom, getting 4 to 5 hours SOT, with just twtter, facbook etc.

I don't know actually i never monitor it.
At least i can use it for 1 day without charging

Questions about rooting from a noob.

Hi guys, I'm thinking of buying an LG G4 because it's gotten very cheap now and I want to use it as my daily driver.
I'll be getting the international version and I want to root my phone before properly setting it up. The reason for this is that I want xposed to make some ui changes as I feel the G4's ui is horrible (no offence). I've heard I'll need a custom kernel, twrp recovery, unlocked bootloader and root access.
I've also heard that with custom roms you lose functionality to things such as the IR blaster and the amazing camera app and all its settings. Is that true? If that is the case, I'd rather keep on stock rom with xposed helping me make the UI bearable.
My question is what would I exactly need to do? (with kernels, recovery, bootloaders etc I have only rooted a device once and it was 4 years ago so I have forgotten the basics plus it seems the whole process has become very tough now) The only end product I want is to run the xposed while retaining the IR blaster functionality and the camera app etc.
I have tried going through some videos on youtube but I found them vague, a little different from what I wanted or I saw a few comments talking about how the phone was bricked or stuck in bootloop.

Hi buddy , if your phone comes and it's on lollipop the type in Google " root lg g4 lollipop xda " but if it arrives on marshmallow then type " root lg g4 marshmallow xda " as for losing functions like the IR blaster and camera , I'm using latest Genisys ROM marshmallow version with the Imperium kernel and I have all my features still working they will only stop working if you flash a ROM which isn't based on LG for example Cyanogen or blisspop things like that....
If I have helped please leave a thumbs up!

Hi, thanks for the reply! How is the performance compared to the stock rom? What other benefits does a g4 based rom give?
Also, I still find the process a little confusing. Am I supposed to root first, unlock bootloader or install a recovery. Also what are the chances of bricking my phone?

Well first of all the performance depends there are options when installing different kernels which will give you better speed or better battery life the choices will be written in the kernel or ROMs description , the other benefits are debloated ROMs which means the software on the phone has been reduced to free up space and get rid of useless stuff and other little UI tweaks it just depends which ROM you choose as for the process you unlock your bootloader first via lg devs official site then depending on how you root will depend when you root it I'll explain , if your phone arrives and its on lollipop then use low effort root but if it comes and its on marshmallow then you use systemless root method and I won't bull**** ya pal the chances of messing your phone up is about 30 percent just make sure you follow every single step very carefully , the reason I said 30 percent is because if you're on lollipop then it's easier in my opinion to restore your phone by flashing the .kdz stock file for your phone ( the .kdz will make your phone like you bought it)

What are the advantages of the rom that you're using?
30 percent sounds like a lot, but are you saying that I can restore my phone even if I mess up the process?
Also can you link me to the methods?

The advantages of the ROM I'm using is good battery life with a good balanced performance also it has the LG G5 apps built in to it , and yes you can restore your phone as for the links to the methods I'm chatting to you on my tablet so gathering all the links would be quite hard they are easily found though for example if you are searching for low effort root then just type it in Google followed by xda so it looks like low effort root method xda , if you really want the links then I'll boot up my PC in the morning and I'll find them all for you , it's night time where I am so I'm going to bed soon I'll check your post though in the morning in case you have any more questions and as always please leave a thumbs up I greatly appreciate it , thanks buddy....

No problem mate, I found the link to the low effort btw.
So I'll have to unlock bootloader via the lg website first? then I'll have to install a custom recovery and then root? (or root and then install custom recovery?)
Also I was going through the thread of the rom you're using, and I saw the screenshots and they were pretty much the same as the lg ui (which I'm trying to run away from). Basically what I want is a stock android ui without losing the core functionality like the IR blaster and the camera app, knock code etc.
A question I have is do I have to change the kernel etc while rooting my device or can I just use the stock kernel?

I just did all of these things this morning. I posted my steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/howto-complete-guide-to-unlock-twrp-t3370003
I personally stopped installing custom ROMs since Xposed. It lets use keep the phone as it is out of the box but add in just the changes we want. With many custom ROMs, there are always bugs so you'll have to update them and that can mean resetting your device. You then have to install all your apps and settings again.
I tried to make the above guide as noob friendly as possible and it hopefully shouldn't require any reading outside of the thread.

N910V with different carrier - possible ?

I have an N910V and my carrier is not Verizon. The sim is rejected. It seems I am unable to create a custom APN entry.
Currently rooted with Android 5.1.1, unlocked padlock at startup. Baseband N910VVRU2BOF1. TWRP installed. Have been able to wipe system/data/cache partitions and restore from backup successfully.
Has anyone managed to change the running software to the international version, N910F successfully ? I have not done this before.

lol the note 4 is not sim locked I'm using cricket wireless on my vzw varient. you just have to manually enter your service providers apn info....side note also true for note 3 (smn 900v) as far as international roms go ....I have had 0 luck since the upgrade to marshmallow. on lollipop all I used were international roms. I'm pretty sure the boot image patch needed for hsbadr roms killed it for me. his rom has 0 bloat anyway .

OK this should apply to marshmallow definetly nougat. in settings go to more (at top 3rd option) cellular networks cellular operators. look in upper right corner for 3dot menu it has add apn manually. Google apngeisha find your carrier and then just fill in the appropriate info. if you are unrooted you will get an error message stating its not a Verizon sim but it won't affect functionality

wow that is an old firmware bro ...jeez that phone must have sat for a while b4 it found its new home. fyi u can borrow a friends sim to upgrade to marshmallow (I did) just enter apn info and get her done. ****if you are not the person who rooted it you will want to become familiar with the process its challenging the first run through the phone can crash midway in I personally refer to the simplified guide to unlock by Dr.cool on xda. the files in his post you might want to replace with newer but the man knew how to break this process down. best of luck man.

I am somewhat familiar with rooting it..
What i don't seem to understand is how to move the phones software from N910V ROM to a N910F ROM - a few people have said on this site that this is possible, but I haven't found out how they did this. If this is possible, what needs to be changed and in what order.

Could you explain this a little to me - forgive me not understanding about this concept..
So the ROM doesn't change, but you run a patch against the current software ? Where is the patch run from, TWRP ?

best pet is its universal for all 910f/g roms on lollipop. not gonna lie I do miss the options. I mean the system as a whole works better now but you used to have like 30 different roms to experiment with (I reccomend simplrom with either simpl or emotion kernel .....I've never scene anywhere near that mny governors or modules in a kernel before. that being said I'm sure less than half could really improve android but like I said having so many choices is truly something else. why I put this phone only a step or two behind the note 3 which litteraly HD more development than 5 years worth of nexus's . this is s close as I've seen since.

Current flashing to 'N910VVRU2CPF3_N910VVZW2CPF3_N910VVRU2CPF3_HOME.tar.md5' (6.0.1 stock i think) - will the data fix still be applicable ?
And how is the data fix applied - TWRP 'install' ?
