[Q] D857 and GApps - Root and Custom Recovery - SOLVED - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

PLEASE CHECK POST #2
Users wanting GApps permanently with a stock firmware, please follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/guide-d857-to-d858hk-g3-dual-sim-google-t2906602
Hello everyone,
I just installed GApps on my D857 after rooting it and installing a custom recovery.
But now I am constantly getting a Google Play Services error, sometimes .acore as well. Tried to remove the account, clearing the cache, clearing google apps data, but I'm still getting the error messages.
Any ideas?? Does anybody know if I can flash D858HK firmware in my D857 and if it contains the google apps??
BTW, I installed the FULL modular package from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
Thanks.

Solved. Install and root with StumpRoot, the install immediately SuperSu, set it up, and install it in /system (under its settings).
Install this recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/lg-g3-f400-recovery-6-0-4-9-t2825865
WARNING: you can use it only once! When rebooting it will ask you to protect and mantain the custom recovery, answer NO, otherwise your original recovery will be deleted and the custom recovery won't be bootable anymore since it's not for the D857! If you want to use it, you have to install it again. Don't keep the recovery, but keep the root!
In the custom recovery install the CM11 GApps:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
All other GApps won't work properly.
Tested with D857 v10b original firmware.
WARNING: DO NOT UPGRADE TO v10c, you will loose root, and so far it's impossible to obtain with any tool out there!
To go back to stock simply use LGMobile Support Tool, starting from firmware v10b it will download and install the kdz for you (v10a was NOT available).

I followed your directions and got it to work so thanks!
However, StumpRoot doesn't work on D857 v10b firmware, so I had to flash back to v10a stock first, then root and was able to get Google Services working.
But now the LG OTA firmware updates are not working because it detects a rooted device. Do you know how to get OTA updates to install? If I flash the v10b ROM to unroot I'm sure OTA update will work but then lose root and lose Google Services. Any ideas?

Dude as I said earlier, I did that procedure on the 10b firmware, so if Stumproot works on mine should work on yours as well!
Please note that before doing all that I updated the phone with the LG tool and did a factory reset.
Cheers.
BTW: does anybody know if the D858HK firmware contains the GApps? Apparently the firmwares are switchable!

[Q] D857 and GApps - Root and Custom Rec - SOLVED
Hi! I order D857 in Australia.
they assured me that he had the 800mhz frequency ... can you confirm? And do you know what's difference between D857 and D858? thank you

Maybe has something to do with the update. I updated from v10a to v10b and the Stumproot failed multiple times. Also found on various Chinese forums that Stumproot doesn't work on v10a. It sounds like you flashed a full TOT or KDZ v10b firmware and the root worked. I couldn't get it to work on the OTA v10b update.
So I guess you don't know if OTA updates work because v10b is the latest firmware?
D858HK does contain GApps (confirmed by Chinese forums) and I would also prefer to use this firmware. There are several Chinese forums where you can find D858HK and I tried several times to flash it using TOT method but it just wouldn't work. If you can find the KDZ of D858HK to flash with LGTools that might be possible but haven't found it yet.

not for now I do not know anything because I still have not received the phone. I ordered it on an Australian site that makes it even come from HongKong. Here is the link : http://cameraparadise.com/LG-G3-Dua...ed-+-1-Year-Door-to-Door-Warranty)-49222.html

D857 has these bands FDD-LTE(B1,B3,B7),TDD-LTE(B38,B39,B40,B41),WCDMA(B1,B2,B5,B8),TD-SCDMA(B34,B39),GSM(B2,B3,B5,B8)
GSM B5 is the 850MHz band
D857 is dual-SIM China International version (FDD-LTE/TD-LTE/WCDMA/TD-SCDMA/GSM)
D858 is dual-SIM China Mobile version (TD-LTE/TD-SCDMA/GSM) so it should only work on China Mobile's 4G/3G network
you want the D857. Also note that all these dual-SIM versions have one 2G SIM slot and one 4G/3G/2G SIM slot. You cannot have two 3G/4G running on the phone at the same time.

If you use LG support tools, simply choose fix firmware install or something like that, it will simply download and flash a full kdz of v10b on the phone. Do a factory reset after that.
I don't want to flash a TOT, I'm still looking for a full kdz of the 858HK! I'll let you know if I find it!

My questions is: if you flash v10b, root and install GApps, thereafter will OTA firmware updates work? Because right now, the firmware updates detect a rooted device and fail to update. It seems like that for D857 the only way to update the firmware is to download the KDZ and flash it every time a new one is released.
So getting the D858HK is really key, because if it can be flashed on D857 it already has Google Services, and OTA updates work for future updates...

Sorry but what's the kdz?

You're right: OTA won't work when rooted. It's actually a pain reinstalling the firmware every time, but at least you get a clean install...
That's why I'm looking like crazy for the 858HK kdz, unfortunately I don't speak Chinese and those forums are quite messy!
Do you know if the 858HK firmware is customized in any way by China Mobile??

By the way, the 858 gets way more updates than the 857, another reason to find that bloody kdz!!

v10c is out for 857:

I read in some Chinese forums that the D857 and D858HK firmwares are interchangeable but again I wasn't able to flash the D858HK. I tried with TOT and it just failed. So it is possible that D858HK is different from D857 firmware. I think there may be some modification need to make to the firmware for it to install on D857.
I too am still looking for a D858HK that works on D857...

Just updated with LG Support Tool. Unfortunately Stump doesn't work, IOroot doesn't work, nor does PurpleDrake.
I'm sick of this.
Do not update 'till I find a good working method!

Do you see my link above ? Do you think it's possible for the 800mhz ?

I'm also trying to figure out how to install D858HK stock rom on my D857 32GB.
Found on chinese forums, it seems that it's necessary to change the model number in build.prop to match D858HK model to be able to install it. Have anyone tried that?
Does anyone know where to get the D858HK firmware?

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?

ive rooted so does this mean i can at least remove some bloteware?
thanks guys sorry for questions :victory:

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

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...

[Q] Seeking ROOT solution for lollipop Korean rom

Dear all,
I have a Korean version LG G3 (LG-F400L) with latest lollipop rom version F400L200g,
Is there any solution to ROOT it? Since I have tried IORoot, PurpleDrake, Roottool....... but all fail.
Thanks a lot.

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

Not sure which firmware versions I can install on my G4

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.

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.

LG G3

Hello Everyone !
I have a question which really interests me. I have stock rom installed on my LG G3 D855. Oversharpening of the screen annoys me. I have decided to root and install that overshapening fix. By doing this I will change kernel of my LG G3. The question is will I be able to receive any official software update from LG after rooting and changing kernel ?
Thank you for your patience you took to answer me !

no, if you change the kernel you don't be able to receive OTA updates, but you can install it over KDZ Flasher...
Hi, You don't need to receive the updates. The custom ROMs based on the stock firmware are way better and they are updated soon after the new stock firmware is out.
By rooting and installing the oversharpening fix, you must have installed TWRP, which means that you are no longer on stock recovery. Do not take any OTA or you may risk bricking your phone. Manually flashing is really your only option at this point. You can flash official firmware, which is available here, but you cannot update using OTA.

Is there any difference between flashing kdz and receiving OTA update. I mean are they (kdz file and received update ) different or completely same ?

OTA is over the air update, its via 3G or wifi, directly from LG servers, if you change the kernel, the servers or the update center dont know what version you have and dont detect your device or better saying dont know what phone you have!
Flashing in KDZ is completly different, because you need to use a PC to download the firmware, need to use a USB cable to connect your device in PC and use KDZ flash tool to flash the firmware on your LG G3...
anyway, i belive the 2nd option is better because sometimes the newest firmware dont be avaiable in update center when its leaked (of course it depends of your contry and etc) and you can download it on PC and put it on your G3 as soon as possible!
Thank you for detailed information. My question was actually about the files. Kdz file and received update. Are they the same ? Let me explain. Say I have 2 LG G3 D 855 smartphones. I receive OTA update 20I to first one and flash kdz 20I to second one. Will they be the same or different. Apps , tweaks , quick settings .etc ?

Understanding the correct KDZ file, help!

Hi,
I purchased the phone in the UK from the network carrier Vodafone. I have done a fair bit of research on the rooting and unrooting process mainly via videos and reading tutorials on XDA.
I would like to root the phone and gain super user access and install some Xposed modules but would also like to be able to unroot and flash back to a stock Vodafone firmware encase I need to claim under warranty. I have been trolling the internet to get the correct KDZ file and found this site (ttp://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/country.php?country=United+Kingdom). I believe that the correct firmware may be on here but am a little confused on what the suffix and software version means to be honest.
The reason for my confusion is that I updated the firmware to 6.0 Marshmallow through the LG bridge but when I now check my phones software version it states v20b-234-15. I assume this is right but from memory the first software version when I got the phone was something like H81510B_00.
I cant remember exactly what it was before unfortunately but the KDZ files I have found state H81510C_00 (Suffix - AVDFVK) and H81510C_00 (AVDFLR) and this does seem to make sense but I'm thinking it was B instead of C but and not 100% on that.
Do you think these KDZ files would be the correct one to flash back to encase I run in to some problems rooting?
I am also assuming that this KDZ is Android Lollipop and not Marshmallow so is it OK to use this to revert back from Marshmallow?
Thanks and any help would be much appreciated.
Ross
The 10X version are all Lollipop, 20X is marshmallow.
When flashing a KDZ on your phone, what's important is what model your phone is. H815 in your case.
If you want to restore to stock in case something goes wrong, you can find everything here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848
In there is a link to this directory: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G4/ where you find pretty much all KDZ files for G4 phones.
I'm not that experienced myself, but I rooted my phone just recently and I can share my experience with you.
I have a H815. It was a V10c-TWN-XX version (Taiwan). I updated to Marshmallow with LG Bridge also and the new software version was V20b-TWN-XX.
Marshmallow rooting is not possible on my phone because I can't unlock the bootloader on it. And Marshmallow rooting is only possible with an unlocked bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader is only possible on European phones (http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryTypeCode=ANRS). I asked autoprime (renown user and developer here) if I can unlock bootloader after flashing an European KDZ on it. He said no, having European software on it is not enough, it has to be a phone manufactured for the european market. Dont know why, guess because of different hardware.
So, not being able to root MM, I had to revert back to stock (downgrade) using one of the KDZs.
I chose the most recent one in the directory I linked (which is the Poland H81510E). In the "Go Back to Stock" thread I linked the OP says to use LG Flash Tool 2014, which unfortunately doesn't work with Marshmallow. But fret not, it works with LG UP! http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
When I tried flashing the KDZ with Flash Tool 2014, the process failed with an error at 5%. It worked flawlessly with LG UP. Here's more information regarding downgrading, but it really isnt hard. Just download + install LG UP. Launch it. Connect your phone. Choose KDZ file. Select option "upgrade". Hit start.
NOTE: after the firmware update was done, the phone rebooted automatically and for me it stuck at at the LG Logo (bootloop). But a simple hard factory reset did it, the phone booted and my new version was 10e-something. With Lollipop 5.1 of course.
After that, I rooted my phone using this pre-rooted image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/h815-eu-l-p-t-sea-twn-t3176195
and this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/...-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765/
I now have a "H81510e-EUR-XX" Lollipop 5.1 with root (SuperSU 2.49).
I don't really know about Vodafone and if carrier specific firmware is necessary in this case. If not, you could use any 815 firmware.
From the site you have linked with the KDZ files..... it seems they are all the same.
If you check the table for H815 KDZs from Vodafone, there are some 10C and 10D versions. Now I compared the fileKey parameter in the URL to the 10C files and the 10D files and also the bytes of the files.
All the 10C version are identical to each other, same for 10D.
Check out this screenshot I made for you: http://i.imgur.com/Ie0w4us.png
Bytes are also identical, so it's pretty safe to say those are the same files.
Dont know why they are listed several times there. The suffix doesnt matter.
I'd grab a 10D if I were you. But I think the Poland 10E should work, too. Better confirm it with somebody else though.
If you flash your system to 10e, you can use the pre-rooted image I used. Otherwise you will have to inject root yourself: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586. In this method you create an image of your system and inject root into the image, which you then flash back on your phone.
