HI friends,
I updated my G3 D855 to lollipop( V20e-IND-XX) from computer using LG mobile support tool, But i cant find rooting for the same hence decided to downgrade to kitkat, but got a doubt can i flash any prerooted lollipop using LG flash tool, cant use Zip file because dont have root at the moment ..
Kindly help with some links which are suitable for flashing & downloading d pre-rooted stock lollipop.
Thanks in advance..
You have to downgrade from Lollipop to KitKat. Just use LG Flash Tool with right KDZ file. Then you root G3 and flash bump'd TWRP. After that, flash pre-rooted Lollipop stock ROM through TWRP. That's all.
which kdz to use?

Hello, if I have a A6RE D855 16GB and im having issues with lollipop. Could you please tell me if I could flash it to EUROPE COMMON 16G D85510A_00 .. I was taking a look on mylgphones.com to see the history but I'm really confused with all the letters. In on site see d85510g and on others I see d85510A. Does it make any difference if i flash the europe common?
Thanks in advance!

What was the original country you got it from?
You need to flash kitkat rom KDZ by using your PC. There is a guide in the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
Be careful and first check which model you use. I think safest bet is to flash v10a since all root programs work with that version (I think). Region of KDZ isn't that much important, but just check for 2 very important things:
1. BE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD 16GB VERSION FOR 16GB MODEL OR 32GB VERSION FOR 32GB MODEL
2. CHECK WHICH PHONE MODEL YOU HAVE (F400K,D855,D851,D852,...)
Just follow tutorial carefully and you shouldn't brick your phone. If you don't have any understanding for root, I would advise you NOT to do any flashing then.
EDIT: you can't root it on Lollipop because it has new security features which haven't been worked around yet like kitkat.
just because you can't root lollipop & have to downgrade to kitkat doesn't mean you lose lollipop, if thats what youre worried about..?
downgrade to kitkat, root, install twrp, then flash a lollipop rom.
stock based rom will be exactly the same as your OTA update, if not, a more recent version.
aosp is pure lollipop experience, like on nexus range, but with added features & functionality.

I bought an AT&T G3 and it had OTA Lollipop installed. Would it work if I used this method for flashing using the LG Flashtool back to Kitkat so I can install TWRP? The other method looks like people are having problems and very complicated. Looks like going back to full kitkat would be easier. Let me know
I'm on Lollipop rooted. I saw the tutorial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-update-to-lollipop-root-bumpd-twrp-t3048845) in installing the twrp for lollipop. Is this working? I want to try but I'm quite confused. On the extracting part of the tutorial, it says just the android lollipop firmware is to be extracted. While on the requirements, it says kitkat extracted. And I can't find a kitkat firmware to download. :/
Don't!
My phone is broken because of that.
I have just flashed my 855 back to root 4.4.2 as i was using a custom rom and fancied using the pure stock for a while. The stock flash was successful but its stuck in 4.4.2 and wont update to 5.0? Anybody know why?

Hi my friends, I am looking for a STOCK RECOVERY for my LG G Pad F 8.0 AT&T (V495). I was trying to do an OTA upgrade to 6 but after the Download and restart the installation is giving me an error because i am ROOTED. I need to flash stock recovery to be able to install new OTA upgrade to Marshmallow 6. Is someone have a 5.0.2 STOCK Recovery or maybe another idea on how can I do and upgrade to Marshmallow 6 I will appreciate any help. Thanks
Is there a KDZ or TOT available for your variant?
I am in the same boat. I can not find the stock rom anywhere. I would like to upgrade to to 6.0. I am rooted with king root. If the stock rom is not found is there a way to unroot and delete all root files so the update does not detect the root so we can update?

In order to take OTAs (starting with Lollipop) you have to never have been rooted (since the most recent time you've flashed a KDZ or TOT).
Unrooting isn't enough.
