yes, its lollipop, so you can imagine whats new.
if you have TWRP installed, flash a stock based V20E/F BUMPED rom. (assuming your device model is D855)
do not update any other way, you'll lose root & have to downgrade to root again.
refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...mp-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-d852-d852g-f400-t2900614 for TWRP.

Yes but you would probably need to flash the appropriate RUU as, most (if not all ), custom roms can not be returned to official by doing an OTA update.
but it will be problems with warrantys?
my doubt is if the phone has a malfuntion it still will be acepted in the warranty without the stock rom.
You shouldn't have a problem with a hardware malfunction, and if you restore to stock using the RUU, they are likely to be unaware of any previous modifications.
ok ive aldready downgraded just for testing purposes anda ive saved the updated rom that came when a press to find updates in the phone. im going to give it a try.
thank you
Good thing u backed up stock rom!!!!
lets give it a try... not very confident.
Just had my phone returned after warranty repair, I had restored to stock with t-mobile ruu and no problems

OTA will upgrade your firmware. If 4.4.4 has rolled out for your version, go back to stock ROM and recovery (if not so already) and you should be able to OTA.
You likely won't be able to OTA direct to 5.0, unless you OTA to 4.4.4 first.
Ok, but i forget the most important things on my first post. I have unlock my bootloader and i'm on viper 2.5. So i think i can't get Ota since i'm on custom ....
Hello guys, i was wondering since I've made the 5.0 update (european) if it was possible for me to flash a custom rom like cyanogen without root (because root isn't an option since llp) ?

After flashing a ROM, flash SuperSu 2.4 to get root.

But how do I flash without root ?
It's noobish question, i can't get to recovery, I've tried with the Power and vol down keys, all i can get is a menu to erase my data, thats it.
Firsh backup your data. Then go back to EU stock ROM:

Now you can root your LG G3, use TWRP/CWM custom recovery and flash custom ROM.

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.

Hi, would like to know if it is possible to upgrade to lollipop using pc companion. I am currently rooted, locked bootloader, custom recovery. Build no. 14.4.A.0.157. If so, will I have a stock official rom with no root and stock recovery? Thanks. I would like to return back my phone to stock with latest updates.
There will be no root. I'm not sure what about the custom recovery though. Also I think SuperSU or Superuser won't be deleted.
in general there will be NoRoot.
And if you want to update to an official android version I suggest to download the ftf of it and flash with flash tool that would be easier
