Just got my LG G3 D858 (Dual Sim) yesterday.
Just wondering, LG will release Lollipop soon right? should I root now or just wait for the 5.0 update?

I would root right now while you have the chance and install a custom lollipop rom.
After the official lollipop gets released by LG it will lock your bootloader, If you already have it unlocked.
Also it's rumored that root may not work on the G3 after the official lollipop update.

Thanks for the advice.
Yeah im planning to root now.. problem is.. I dont think other ROMs would work for the D858 variant. (Dual Sim)
Is it possible to get OTA while being rooted?

I think CloudyG3 1.2 -=- [All Variants] might work for you as a custom rom, He hasn't released lollipop version yet, It's still on 4.4.2 for now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/rom-cloudyg3-1-0-t2917467
But when he does release the lollipop version it will be rooted!! and you will still have your bootloader unlocked!!
This is the rom I'm waiting for on my D852 since I'm pretty much in the same boat as you when it comes to not much development for my model.
You will lose root or bootloop if you OTA while rooted.
I've seen a lot of people get their G3's stuck in a bootloop from accepting a OTA while bootloader is unlocked too.
Personally I would just avoid any OTA's for now and stick with stock 4.4.2 or a custom rom, I'm itching to try lollipop too, sooo bad. but it's not worth being locked down!!

Yeah, it's because you have the 11c software instead of the stock 10b. You need to flash the original firmware. Google xda g3 stock 10b and you'll find out how to do it.

yup. I saw the spreadsheet file, stumproot is suppose to work, but I did an OTA update, which patched my device.
I've already contacted the dev, hopefully he can help me out.

Dont even bother with that. Find your stock firmware and put your phone into download mode and use LG Flash Tool to flash to stock. Try googling what I just described, and you will be able to root to your pleasure.

Need to pay to download the ROM?!?!
Thanks for your help guys. I was able to downgrade and root successfully.
After rooting, there's an OTA available. Will I lose root if i install OTA?
I'd root now, the rooting is so easy nowadays.

Figured I'd start a thread about Lollipop since it was officially announced today. As others (namely @KD8JBF ) have pointed out, Sprint has updated their device RDF page to mention a ZVE firmware. Will this be the update to Lollipop? Any ideas?
How do you think the G2 will handle Lollipop, and what do you think about what we've seen of Lollipop so far? Hopefully ZVE will at least fix some of the bugs in LG's firmware.
no. its 4.4.2 http://device.sprintpcs.com/LG/LS980-SPRINT/latest

I'm up for anything that uses more WiFi. I have a damn Airave because Sprint doesn't have signal where I live, which creates a whole other cluster of problems. Wonder how long it will take for us to get it?

Lol I'll try to add that.
I believe this is the update to use the home launcher from the G3. LG stated a few months ago that they were going to update the G2/Pro/Flex to the G3 launcher and they were attempting to have them all updated by Christmas.
is this rom running smoothly with lg 980 .

This thread isn't about a ROM, it's about a software update from Sprint. If you're confusing the two, I'll answer as if you meant update when you said "ROM". If you were to update to ZVE (or update at all) and you're on CloudyG3 right now, you would have to downgrade back to a stock version of the LG LS980 firmware. You can do this using LG's FlashTool and a tutorial I put up on here awhile back. I also put up tutorial videos with links and downloads on YouTube if you search for my name " Kristi Grant". When I get on my laptop I'll post links, or click on the link in my signature.

It's still 5.02. Sprint likely found a bug in the ZVF build so the new one is ZVG.

I'm just waiting for someone to get the update, root it, and do a Stock clean TWRP Backup (before signing in).
Hopefully someone will be nice enough to do this for those of us without access to a Windows computer with the FlashTool.

That is where 5.1.1 comes about. 5.1 fixed, 5.0 leaks. But then they had leaks in 5.1 which hopefully 5.1.1 fixes

T-Mobile's LG G2 should receive a Lollipop treat starting today
Can I update to Lolipop directly instead of updating: -> 10L -> Lolipop?

If you are using the final build of the Android L KDZ then you'll be fine to flash it from any version as the KDZ contains all necessary files. @autoprime has confirmed on his twitter feed that this update does not implement anti-rollback so you should be fine to downgrade and Bump in the future if you want. Hope this helps!
But I'm not using the final build of Android... I'm asking if I can upgrade to lollipop, when it's officially out, instead updating to 10L and then update to Lollipop

I said the Lollipop update contains all necessary files. The final KDZ is what they will push when Android L gets officially updated on your device, or a TOT or .dpkg. You will not need to update in between as you never do inbetween major system updates. If an official update ever has dependencies, it will not let you update without them so don't worry. You would be able to jump from any version you like to Android L. Like I said though, we will have a ported version of Android L long before the official update. Also, although @autoprime has confirmed the release of Android L for the D855 does not implement anti-rollback, this does not mean that other variants will not implement something to keep us from going back to previous software versions, then you may be stuck with Android L but no root or TWRP permanently. I can not emphasize enough how much I do not agree with taking any official updates if you are the slightest bit interested in root or custom roms for you phone.
Also, you only get notified if someone directly quotes a post of yours or if you mention someone by username using @ like I did for @autoprime above.
If I've helped, hit the thanks button!

If you want to update officially with the KDZ, the best option is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799647
Just use the tool and official KDZ to ensure everything is wiped and completely updated.
There is already a rooted Android L .zip ready to flash via TWRP that is available in the General G3 Development thread. Good luck with either route.
Love you.

Hello Respected Members,
I've searched a lot about my issue of g3 but can't find the solution or right answer. So I've an AT&T LG G3 which is great no doubt but I saw on the official site of AT&T that they've released the lollipop update for LG G3 on February but when I checked update through mobile it say's I've latest version of software which is 4.4.2. Software information is below
Android version : 4.4.2
Baseband version : MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c1.13.00009-M8974AAAAANPZM-1
Kernel version : 3.4.0
Build number : KVT49L.D85010f
Software version : D85010f
One Thing More, I've zero info about rom, cutrom rom, bootloader,etc
so I really appreciate if any one help me with this that is my phone have any root access or lollipop hasn't arrived for my phone yet?? I saw there is no SU here in my phone not in hidden applications also.
Please help me with this as all people around the world has solved their queries about their phones here....>
THank You!!
Help Me Please...!
Did you ever disable OTA? 3845#*850# < WLAN Test < OTA Settings < Enable
Here's the guide and TOT if you want to install that way.
You need a valid and working AT&T sim plugged in in order for the OTA to show up
Otherwise if you can manually find the lollipop OTA package for AT&T you can also apply it using the adb method
Highly recommend you do not use the TOT method to apply the update. Countless people have hard bricked their phone because of some random error that occured and its not worse the risk
I've checked and enabled the ota setting but didn't showing any update......
is there any easy way to manually install officially lollipop update in my mobile without rooting my mobile...??

I would like to root my LG G4 H818N, but understand that I won't be able to root MM. So is there a clean ROM available which makes no changes to the default LG G4 system - all I want is the root and not extra features.
Also link to a thread which explains the steps of downgrading to LP would be appreciated.

As raptor stated. Some users have reported hardbricking when downgrading to a incompatible qfused version. Make sure u can downgrade before just dling older firmware and flashing.
Thanks raptorddd and TheMadScientist420. So there is no way I can use MM after rooting? That is a bit disappointing.
Regarding antirollback, when I use *#*#244773825625#*#* I get Anti-rollback as 0, so I am assuming that my devices is good for downgrading, if I choose to?
Also any way to use Amazon Prime video after rooting?

mine is h811 says antirollback V3 when i was in lollipop said V2. so you must be okey if you are in latest MM and has 0 means you can.. once in lollipop you can root. but theres is a process called injection you will be injecting a system.img that is rooted.. takes a little reading to understand.
I have the LG G4 H815P Running marshmallow and i have searched and tried all the methods i have come across on how to root but still no success. Any help is much appreciated.
Probably the best way to root is down grade to 5.1.1 and root from that you can use LG up to do this.

no root for marsh mallow yet... and as for root in lollipop you first need to know what antirollback you have before downgradin and bricking your phone... use the hidden menu go to software and antirollback version.. i beleive if you in MM and has 0 then you are okey but if you have V2 maybe V3 then you cant.. unless you on V2 and lollipop is in V2 as well.
