Hi,
After reading a lot of threads and getting confused when they go off at a tangent could someone please help me.
I have a Three UK 16gb G3 and it's stuck on 10a firmware with no OTA or PC Suite update available, what I would like to know:
Is it possible to update it to a newer version manually without losing my data?
If so what software & file(s) do I need to do this?
After this will it get future OTA's or will I have to do it manually every time?
One last question:
Is there a way to flash it with the firmware for the sim free UK model (to get rid of the three bootscreen) and get OTA's in future, preferably without wiping my data?
The easier the better please as i'm new to flashing androids and would rather not have to root or mess about with anything too complex.
Many thanks in advance to those that take the time to help!
From what I understand you can flash an international European firmware and you'll get OTA updates. The only issue is that Three use different bands for lte than other euro carriers e.g. EE. This means you'll be without 4g unless you resort to a bit of hacking the build prop.
Ah ha

lols this answers my question.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/mod-root-activate-lte-g3-t2819387
If you flash the stock firmware that does not mean you get OTA updates as it's done by IMEI and to remove the 3 splash screens you have to be rooted and remove the /data/.OP/H3G_COM folder
Hello all, I have a question. I would like your opinion. I want to return my G3 to LG Official stock with OTA working etc, just like it was when I first bought it. So I'm looking to flash the proper and right kdz, but I came across a "problem" .
I have the International 16GB D855. The sticker on the box says that it's " 6SW(Switzerland) " , but when I'm searching on http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php the firmware based on my IMEI, it says that the firmware is 6ES ( Spain ).
So what firmware am I supposed to really flash? Is the IMEI one the right one since it searches the phone on LG's Servers?
But then again , the 6SW version hasn't gotten Lollipop update yet, the latest 6SW firmware is version V10L, while my G3 got the Lollipop OTA version V20F before I downgraded it, root and flashed it custom Firmware.
What is your opinion? Sorry for the long post and thank you very much.

You can flash any compatible EURO rom on to your device, like the latest German D855 rom ending with 20H. Link https://mega.co.nz/#!AMoUjCQY!llgH-KlTB4J0paynnnGpIq0ANCAEtXjmUvpx8G8ApQM and flash with LG Flash Tool.
BTW: did you backup your EFS folder?
I created this thread to link all stock ROM's for LG Spirit, namely H440N, H440Y, H422 and H442F variants of it.
If you have any question ask it in LG Spirit General Thread (author @polfrank ) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/lg-spirit-h440n-thread-t3108435
All ROM's should be listed from newer to older so be warned. Also whenever I can,I would write from which mobile operator it is and from which country.

Changelog
Update #1 (20.06.2015 @ 3:05 CEST)
Started thread
Added v10c_00 based firmwares on list
Added other kdz files from General thread
I would like to ask:
If anyone has done the update via OTA it would be nice to see the changelog and know what's new and if an update is worth the time.
Changelog
Update #2 (20.6.2015. @ 21:34 CEST)
Added v10f_00 Indian kdz for H422 variant of device
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
@polfrank yeah it would be nice to see what are changes, but unfortienatly I can't see that because I'm pulling kdz files from few trusted sources which don't say what is new
Are these kdz files derived from the LG site using IMEI codes?
Changelog
Update #3 (25.6.2015. @ 22:03 CEST)
Added support for H440Y ROMs
Renamed thread to add support for H440Y phone
Added v10d_00 Taiwanese ROM to list at H440Y variant of phone
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
@ShinOrochiX seems that all kdz files are collected via IMEI code from LG site and all should work great no matter of your IMEI
Also if somebody find newer variant of ROM for any of named devices in first post and in thread name contact me via PM or post link here in thread so I can edit #1 post
Changelog
Update #4 (27.06.2015 @ 14:03 CEST)
Added v10f German firmware for H440N
Added v10f from unknown country ( Credits: @deni-brasco for submitting it in General thread, but next time please write from which country it is)
This is H440n Portugal/Switzerland edition:
http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW4BKUG13267AM42E0811ZR/H440n10f_00.kdz
The one provided by deni-brasco is H440n Italy edition.
Changelog
Update #5 (27.06.2015 @ 17:18 CEST)
Added v10f firmware from Portugal and Switzerland (same kdz), thanks @polfrank for giving it

Upgrade or clean install? I mean CSF Flash or Normal Flash via LG Flash Tool? I ask that because I want to do Normal flash without wiping anything (it is annoying to set up 5 different e-mail addresses for 5 different things like college, private, hangouts, youtube etc)

Normal flash. It keeps all your data with no problem. You just have to reroot and set xposed again.
LG Spirit H440N Stock rom
Hello everyone.
I have a sim free LG Spirit H440N handset. I got it free of charge from 3UK, who sell all their phones unlocked. Unfortunately, it has a 3 splashscreen on boot, and other 3 stuff built in. Is there a stock rom available, that has none of the 3 bloatware in it? If so, where is it, and how do I flash it? I would rather not root the phone if I can help it; although I will do so if it is necessary. Is there a method to return it back to the 3 version, if necessary? I have rooted phones before, and installed custom roms, etc; but not for a while. I thank you in advance for any help you may be able to offer me.

Hi,
I also have the Three customised firmware-I don't like it either. There is a way to download the firmware, check here. As for firmware without Three's crap in it we'll have to wait for a non-network UK retailer to list it, then if we can get an IMEI, be it from a store display unit, we can download and flash that firmware (when it becomes available). But I don't know if anyone other than Three will sell it, Three has had it for about 2 months even though it was exclusive to them only for 1 month.

Thanks ShinOrochix. So nothing to do but wait then. There's no need for the stuff that 3 put in the phone firmware. It doesn't have a huge memory to start with, and these extra files are just an unnecessary inconvenience.

Yeah, useless bloatware. I just got rid of some of it but am stuck with the bootscreen, rather not root the device yet. As for memory, your right, with all my stuff installed I got just under 2GB free, had about 4GB on my previous Xperia-but who's to complain, the Spirit is a great phone.
I'm in the same boat as you. I debloated as much as I could, but I can't get rid of the bootscreen. The 3 logo sits there for ages. I downloaded a couple of boot animation changer apps, but they didn't work. Perhaps the apps were set to look in the wrong location for the stock boot animation. More investigation needed into the phone's file structure, I reckon.
Hi, I'm Italian and I bought this phone today. On "ABOUT PHONE" I can read version "V10C" but I don't know if is really V10c, or v10f. I want only a stock italian firmware NO BRAND!!! I hate all that apps by TIM!!!
Which firmware do you suggest me???
Hi guys, I have found this site......can be useful???
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=168
Hello. In this site it is being claimed that there is a v10d version of the firmware for LG H440N. (I know the picture of the phone is wrong, but it seems they got it right on which smartphone they're talking about...)
http://www.hanfei.name/kdz-download...-v10b-v10c-v10d-v10e-v10f-stock-firmware.html
In gaodi.net there has been a V10d version a while ago but it was only in some weird versions like Spain Orange, Portugal Orange, Poland Optimus (see here) so I haven't tried it. Has anyone tried it? Is it really v10d or is it like the others, where v10e=v10b and v10f=v10c ?? So maybe v10d is actually v10a??
Hi guys,
I'm going nuts soon...
This is my first LG device and I'd like to get it back to stock on Vodafone. Yes, I know - I should read and I DID.
What I would like to achieve is the full shebang with all the Voda bloatware and bootimage.
I looking for this for 5 hours now and done 3 full flashes but all of them turns out to be international roms which works fine but missing all the aforementioned stuff...
I have tried these from different xda and other threads:
UK Vodafone 16G D85510A_00 from storagecow.eu
D85520h_00.kdz from csmgdl.lgmobile.com
D85520T_00.kdz (with A6VFKG suffix) from devtester.ro
Could anybody provide me a link please to a UK Vodafone fully branded ROM for D855 please?!? :crying:
Thanks a lot!
BTW I don't care about which version it is - could be Lollipop or Kit-Kat!
It could be even Cupcake
Anybody?
desperately need it as I have to send the phone back for repair
Have you tried to use the official lg mobile tool?
Just select UK as country as Vodafone d855 as model

Thanks for the reply.
Yeah, I did and I downloaded the ROM as well but NONE of them has all the bloatware & boot animation
Anyway I gave it up and will send it back with the 20t ROM from LG site.
I have it if somebody interested as LG sent back the phone with that sh*t flashed on it
Hi!
Im new to the G4. I am from Austria and bought it online. I got following Version:
Factory Version
LGH815AT-00-V10c-TWN-XX-Aug-18-2015
SW Original Version
LGH815AT-00-V10c-OPT1-YT-Aug-18-2015
When I read right, this is the TWN Version and thats always one of the most new ones?
Would it eventought be possible to, for example, flash the EUR Open?
I'm asking because i got an Update for LG Health but not in german.
Would I have any disadvantages?
Thanks in advance!

Did you eventually find out whether it's safe to flash the Open version or not?
