Hi,
I have the D855 in the UK (unbranded, rooted) and when I plug the phone into the PC software or use the OTA updater, I only get 10a as the latest version but I know others have updated many times after that. Does anyone know the reason?
Thanks.

I'm on 10h so yea there should be an update for you, not a very helpful answer for you I know You can use the flashtool and flash a newer one yourself, I've never used it but appears simple enough. Or you could use pc suite and restore upgrade errors and then see what it says.

The PC suite says no upgrades available. http://lg-firmware-rom.com says the latest is 10a too. What am I missing or where can I download the newer version from?

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)

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...

Hi guys i'm new to all this soo here is what i did.
I recently rooted my lg g3 V10l-EUR-XX and now i want to unroot it ... but the problem is that i found only the kdz file without the dll file ...
Can you please help me find it or if it's possible to downgrade it from v10l ? Sorry if i said something strange or impossible but i'm a complete newbie with the roots and stuff
If you download the LG PC Suite and click on "Restore Upgrade errors" it should reflash the current version, but i'm not sure as it might download the latest which is lollipop.
You could also flash your KDZ file using the LG Flash Tool. Without the need for a DLL file.

Because i have been reading a lot of post this week and everything messed up. That's why i didn't see that the LG Flash Tool doesn't require .dll file. I just brought my LG to stock and everything is fine ... Thank you for ''enlighting'' me ! :good:
In fact i have one more question ... probably a silly one but still. When the LG was still rooted i got an update for v20e i think but i didn't install it because i assumed that it will be bad and it will ''brick'' my phone ... and now when it's stock i don't have that update. What should i do or it is just a matter of time the update to show up ?

Since you device in now unrooted there will be no problem in updating. The update may show up some time, but you can always flash it if you want to.
NOTE: Lollipop CAN NOT be rooted.

Thank you for all the help guys ... Some things are clearer to me now :good:
I wonder if someone nice can help me understand a little better re what version's of firmware I can install on my G4
My G4 is Model LG-H815 I noticed the box has TWN on it so it most likely came from Taiwan (I purchased it on ebay from Kogan) and I am in Australia on Telstra network.
Is mine classed as the international version then?
It came with V10b-TWN-XX installed on it.
After reading another thread I yesterday flashed it using version from Poland 10D H81510.kdz using the KDZ flash LG Flash Tool 2014 method
It is running fine on the above and doing that flash removed the Chinese keyboard and stuff so that was good.
I noticed after checking I am still vulnerable to the Stagefright issue so would like to find a newer rom that has this issue fixed if possible.
I am confused about all the versions of ROM's going around and was hoping someone could give me an overview of the various one and pros and cons against using them on my particular G4.
I dont mind doing a complete reinstall so keeping current data isn't important.
I would also like to root the rom (mainly so I can adjust the DPI) So some help on rooting the latest ROM would also be appreciated.
Thanks for your help.

I don't know for sure, but you could try cyanogenmod, it should have a working installerar that helps you (depends on if they made the installer for your devices)

If your model in the model report is H815, then you are safe to flash the unbranded European kdz. As I have said in other topics, as long as it's not H815T, or H815P or whatever, then it's fine to flash EU kdz on it.

Ok then that great - tks
So whats the latest version rom out at the moment I could use and how do I root after flashing it?
Many thanks for your help.
Frosty
The latest version that I know of is the European Open 10E.
After you flash that one using the kdz flashing method, you can check around for the rooted 10e img and flash it using low effort root method.

OK all done - all working fine..
One small issue one of the apps I use "Netatmo" will no longer install "This item is not compatible with your system" error when trying to install from the G4 or via GooglePlay on PC..
Must be some sort of region thing perhaps?
And I get "Warning current version is not avalible for user ....." error on boot up.
Any idea how to get around that?
Thanks again.
AFAIK no way to get rid of that, but it doesn't affect any usability of the phone, so I just learn to ignore it.

Yes there is a way to get rid of it, as long as you have root. I don't know the specifics but I read it in one of the threads. Just search the error I'm sure you'll find it.
Hello, today i recived an LG G7, but it has firmware brand (TIM)
I was wondering if I changed the firmware with another one, would I get the automatic updates via ota?
Thanks
I bought a TIM branded device, flashed stock 10k OPEN kdz and I don't think the OTA is working
i have the same issue, someone can help?

I also had tim and when I switched to no brand I stopped receiving ota and also lg bridge no longer updates my phone. I now use LGUP every time there is an update and do a manual upgrade. The lg bridge update log says the phone fails an imei test so I believe there's no other way to update for me and probably for you too.

If it was pure open stock, it shouldn't show that "222-01" thing in software info. It should be "EUR-XX". And I can't make it that way. I'm wondering if anybody achieved it.
Same issue..received a Tim branded G7 so installed GBR open firmware from LG fan now all good no branding just no OTA UPDATES..Anyone know of a fix for this save flashing every new update.?
Any help/information much appreciated....
I’m going to try and flash the Italy open rom if there is one...see if that makes any difference..
What is the Italy code? Is it ITC?
So i flashed a few open firmwares..ITC and GBR open latest ones and earleir releases and none would OTA update only flashing back to origanal TIM firmware did it update OTA.
So its put up with branding etc and get all ota updates or flash a EU open firmware and keep doing this with every update.

No, only with hands through lgup
So is there any way for users to istall an open F.W so you don’t have network branding or bloatware
And still receive the OTA updates?and security patches
I know it don’t really make a massive difference but the branding and boot screen really winds me up for some reason..
I could send device back as I purchased in the uk thinking it would be a uk phone but it’s Italian..still says LG-G710EM so I guess it’s the Euro variant..
guys, for LMG710EM which firmware should i flash to remove brand?
thanks in advance

Any that’s an open for your regional area...
Be aware if you do this you will no longer receive OTA updates.
I'm asking because i'm fresh in this topic (and generally in android) and i prefer to ask before i do something wrong.
Yes, i know that i will no longer receive OTA updates what is quite logic, but manual update via LGup isn't a big problem for me. Just less convenience.
So, for Poland, firmware G710EM10q_00_OPEN_EU_OP_1219.kdz should be okay, yes? and one more question, the process of updating via LGup looks like normal firmware updating (keeping the configuration and data) or like clean firmware flashing?

Yes that’s an okay firmware for Poland and yes LGUP wipes and gives clean install each time I’ve used it..there maybe a way to upgrade once you have initial new firmware as you don’t want issues so clean install is best to start then investigate upgrade for next time.
When should 9.0 roll out? the G8 already released with it...

Hi
Both won't update to pie....I've used a method find here from a guy with LG up and now I'm on Pie. The update completely reatore my phone so I've start from scratch.
Now found a new update form my EM version, but another time LG bridge cannot check the installed firmware and the OTA too cannot find anything new.

Yeah OTA may not work depending on what model you have and from what region is your phone.
LG Bridge also doesn't work since it checks IMEI and if it matches the firmware region. It knows when something doesn't add up
If you want to update you can find the correct firmware for your phone or use an older LG UP version to update without losing data.
Either way I find it useless to update since it's just a security patch and nothing more
Wow really thanks! So I'll wait for some major update
Can I update via LG Bridge after unlocking and root? Wont it brick the phone?
How to I find out which KDZ file to download? My phone is EM, Central europe. Or it doesnt matter? What is the difference between rom regions? Is there any universal unbloated EM kdz?
