learning curve (sorry i am an ex apple) - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so had the OTA update LOLLIPOP for my g3 D885 uk version and the first one gave me UI errors
so used the lg flash tool to get me back to V10A software using the kdz file a few of the OTA updates later and i am on V10L all good so far
i then apply the OTA V20E for lollipop again all installs fine and no UI errors so great then i notice no home buttons so near off impossible to navigate around i also noticed when i clicked WI-FI it just hung there i was able to go in and out the screen but it would just stay on searching
i am very new to this so am being cautions on what i am doing so not to screw it up
so i decided to flash again using the lg flash tool to get me back to V10A again via the kdz file and do OTA updates to get back to V10L
could some advise or show me the file i would need to at least get to V10L as cant seem to find it and also how do i tell what carrier its on and if its for UK and 16GB
i have read loads on here but not 100% sure as i am trying to take to much in so a little hand in the right direction i hope will help me
once i have the kdz file for a 16GB UK v10l i will then try again with getting lollipop on my g3 as would like to at least have it to try it if there is also a file that will work for me is it worth trying that?
1 other question when i download the kdz file from online how do i tell its the correct one for the UK
eg i have 1 with a file name of D85520e_00 i know its the lollipop as its 20e but thats it
so sorry but wrapping my head round it and need some help
i hope the above makes seance and someone is able to help me out
thanks for your time
cheers baz

@jellysteve
I've solved my mirrorlink problem like this
I have G4 europe H815, brand vodafone
Search in this site kdz vodafon file
There's very few files kdz vodafone, not found for italy
I find in this link posted by a great guy here
Don't know if i can post the link, i have few posts
I can't, anyway, it's the list of kdz files here on the 3d "go back to stock G4"
I've download "portugal vodafone v10b"
It'real 10b, not 10c as some called 10b
Normal flash with lg support tool
And the vodafone 10b was in my g4
Automatically i find OTA update for v10c, 330mb
After the update with ota
The problem mirror link it's solved
So, you have mirror link problem after kdz file v10d?
Or problem after OTA update v10d?
Hope i can help-)
Hi-)
Hello the mirrorlink issue is since OTA update
I found a kdz on the lg phone firmware website but the link for download doesn't work any idea ?

Hello
The link doesn't work even for me
So mirrorlink on g4 it's not easy to solve
You have international g4, so model H815?
I can't post links for now
I can't say this is the solution for you
But i solved mirrorlink in this way
Go here in the Forum at the section for G4:
G4 General- [Guide] LG G4 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ & TOT Method by hyelton
In the middle of the post there's:" KDZ Firmware Files; HERE"
Click HERE
A link will open with some kdz files for G4
Download kdz before v10d
Important, your g4 is brand or no brand?
You have choose the right kdz for your G4
If you have H815 europe, try d.load these kdz file:
Europe General H81510B_00.kdz 1697378KB Jul 06 2015 04:43:29 PM
Or kdz files of your provider, if there's in list
As most of v10b kdz, it's not v10b, but v10c
Good for you 'cause you have v10d
Run lg flash tool 2014
Put kdz file
Select CSE flash
Leave all the others fields as they are
If Cse flash don't work, do normal flash
At the restart, you'll find v10c
And 99% find the Ota update for v10d
Before the Ota update do a hard reset
At the restart, run the Ota update v10d
And see if mirrorlink works
If not, with lg bridge run "fix update error"
Don't do with lg bridge the software update, this will put mirrorlink error
If you have windows 10, maybe Cse flash will not work
No prob, normal flash work back to v10b-c
Hope will work
Sorry for the long post-)
Yes I comfirm my g4 is h815 unbrand.
I found the kdz v10d for France it's my actual version.
I'm ok with the process : lg flash tool.. question if I use normal flash it's necessary to make hard reset or not.
Thanks for your help and time ?

The point is to go in downgrade, v10b or C
If you keep kdz file v10d, i think the problem remains
Your G4 is no brand, so in the link if kdz files try d.load the file kdz i've posted above
With flash tool try normal flash
So you have v10c, then accept the Ota v10d
And see if mirrorlink is solved
If not, do hard reset
Then with Lg bridge do fix errors update
I'm italian but i live in France like You
In this time is almost impossible download flash tool and drivers
Many french sites in these days have put in web around 50 virus
Keep update-)
Hello
I found V10C and I downgrade my g4 with flashtool and I make the update with lg bridge and same problem with mirrorlink
I make a hard reset and same problem I don't understand
I think i wait a new update for solve perhaps the problem.
Evaluate the problem

Well mirrorlink is hard to solve
I've done the steps to solve m.link by my idea
Can't found nothing on web
I don't know if you have patience to make again all the steps
You said you update with Lg bridge after downgrade v10c
Only my opinion, this is the mistake while I'd m.link problem
I said in my previous post:"don't do with lg bridge the software update, this will put mirrorlink error"
If you want to retry
Downgrade v10c, wirh cse flash, then wait the OTA update, not update with lg bridge
The best way is downgrade v10b, like i did for vodafone
But v10b no brand kdz is hard to find
It depends what problems create m.link at your g4
If it's only the message at start, it's not bad problem
In my case, many icons of app on screen disappears
I hope is not your case
Just value the problem, only a message, it's not so bad
As you said, with a new update the problem should be solved
Hi-)
It's my guess, but i think mirrorlink problem will persist for those, who has unlocked bootloader and ignored LG warning that some apps, based on DRM will stop working

I totally agree
I'd unlocked my vodafone bootloader
And so here mirrorlink problem
It's strange that i've solved with downgrade and Ota update, but not @jellysteve case
Mirrorlink is useful if you have a modern car that fit with
If like me, i have a modern car not compatible
The error message m.link can be ignored
I must fix 'cause many icons of apps disappeared at start
But it seems icons problem, happened only for my G4!
Then, with windows 10 i can't do cse flash
So i go back to Win 7, and cse flash works
Hi-)
I started to face this problem, but my H815 fully stock, no unlocking, no rooting. And I wish it to stay that way for now... So the only solution for me is wait for LG to fix that?
Weird thing, I uninstalled quick circle apps, quick remote and quickify, and the problem seems to be gone

Is your bootloader unlocked and are you rooted?

no, I'm not rooted, bootloader locked. I started having this issue when I started experimenting with various apps for quick circle case.
Hello, maybe my solution will help for you too. Ive got h815, locked bootloader with low effort root.
Ive installed super manager app with root permissions. In the app go for the system folder, when you trying to enter switch system folder to r/w (the app automaticly asks it). Go to the priv-app search LgCover folder and rename the app inside of it with .bak extension. Reboot the phone.
After that repeat the process but you should remove .bak from the end of the app's name (back to the original) and reboot again. Mine started to work without any issues. I guess that will work with the mirrorlink app. Location of the app: system/app/MirrorLinkServer folder. You should do the same thing with it
Good luck

Need Help in flashing KDZ file.

Hey, friends. How are you all? I have lg g3 d855 (16GB and 2 GB version) in Pakistan. Software version is v20h-Global-SI.
LG PC Suit says that I have new update but due to low internet speed it takes forever to download new version of software which is D85520L.
I installed an app "Lg Phone From" from play store. It also shows new firmware available to download for my LG G3 is "D85520L-00.KDZ". I have downloaded this file.
I want to know a few questions.
Is the file Downloaded from "Lg Phone From" correct? I don't want to brick my phone.
Will I still be able to get OTA or update with LG PC suit after flashing KDZ?
Sorry for these stupid questions. This is my first LG smartphone. Due to alot of variants I am confused. Please guide me in this regard. I will try to explore forum for more help. But your answers can save my time. Thanks
Yes it is the correct file for you and you will still get ota updates.Basically you can flash any kdz from different regions that are for d855.
E.g i was using v20u which was for U.K but my phone was from australia(optus network) and was working fine.Now i'm using a custom rom based on stock.
Aslam O Alaikum Umari bhai.
Thanks for help.. JazakAllah.

Help, I rooted my phone and I get a warning everytime i open it

Hello
So after foolishly updating to Marshmellow and discovering that all my apps no longer update in the background, i flashed my device to the LG G4 V10D-226-01 software version, the 10D Europe Open from the LG g4 "Go back to stock rom" thread.
Problem is, everytime i open my phone i get "Warning: Current version is not available for user. Cant find matched cust for Nt-code mcc/mnc[22601],subset[ff]. I have looked both on google and here and everything i found was for the G3 model and it involved using a "custom restore" image. but no explanation on how to use it, its not a KDZ so i cant flash it.
I'm pretty new to all this and everything i wanted was to go back to my Lollipop variant after seeing how Marshmellow behaved on my phone. (not auto updating my background apps).
I appreciate any help you guys provide.
Thanks
u cant downgrade once u go to Marshmallow. Its a security thing tht was updated in the latest firmware b4 Marshmallow came out. Ur gona hav to start all over again wth the latest KDZ b4 Marshmallow
I reformated into a Lollipop KDZ by flashing my ROM from the "Go back to stock" thread. Problem has appeared after i did that. I am currently on Lolipop v10D
nobody has any idea on how i can solve this issue?

download the kdz file for your device from here and flash it using LG UP here. all will be fine. i downgraded from MM to LP after MM had big battery drain. many people have downgraded using this method.

i did that, problem is, i'm from Romania so i dont see my countries ROM there. I have used the classic open eu one and the barebones one and no matter which i use i still get that warning when i open my phone.
bump to the top again, anyone knows what i should do?

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.

LG G3 D858HK10d Unable to find a way to update to Marshmallow, stuck at KitKat

Hi.
I purchased a second hand LG G3 quite a few months back, only to find out after trying to update that my version was the D858HK, which does not seem to have any official way to update past KitKat on the phone. After some digging around, I did find some methods, like flashing the KDz file. However, none of the KDz files I've found on the internet seem to match the model of my phone, which is D858HK10d, or v10d.
I was wondering if there is any other way to get rid of KitKat and move on to the newer versions.
It is rooted.
Thanks in advance, XDA Forums. You guy's do the Android God's work.

LG PC Suite doesn't recognize the phone. And the kdz files there dont include the model of my phone, which is a D858HK10d.
Where are you getting the model #? The 10d part may refer to the ROM as 20x would be LP, and 30x would be MM.

10d is the Software Version of Android KitKat..
Your device is D858HK.
So you can proceed installing that kdz file.
