yes, by flashing a kdz ontop of it

tnks, im new to lg, is kdz the equivalent to touchwiz? i dont really want to flash different roms, rather stay on stock,

no kdz is the system file that contains all the system partitons

new to lg g3 questions

hi guys im new to the lg g3 (well any lg phone) just a couple of questions
from what ive read there isnt many roms due to the locked bootloader will the bootloader be unlocked in the future?
i have the D855 uk vodafone model is they a working TWRP or CWR for the g3?
ive rooted so does this mean i can at least remove some bloteware?
thanks guys sorry for questions :victory:
from what ive read there isnt many roms due to the locked bootloader will the bootloader be unlocked in the future?
Probably yes, if the @thecubed and others beat the protection (last post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...3-vs98510b-t2890349/post55729952#post55729952)
i have the D855 uk vodafone model is they a working TWRP or CWR for the g3?
There is only Tethered version and I would not recommend to use it. It's for advanced users only and it's not a "real" recovery. More on http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/recovery-twrp-2-7-1-3-t2831668
ive rooted so does this mean i can at least remove some bloteware?
Yes, you can... , or freeze it. If you will the cause softbrick, use LG Flash Tool 2014 and flash in NORMAL mode latest stock ROM you used or use LG PC Suite. After this you need to re-root it. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-unroot-ota-using-lg-pc-suite-pc-t2802286)

thanks for the replys if the bootloader doesnt get unlocked then thats going to destroy the g3 for development isnt it
is they a way to flash latest stock rom and get off the vodafone branded rom so i at least get all the latest OTAs?
Not sure I understand you question, but if you mean, whether you will be able to update the phone via OTA in the future, it depends.
If not or if it will not work, unroot your phone, install OTA and the re-root and you should be fine.
But still - all of that is already described in dedicated threads, don't be afraid to take a look around. :fingers-crossed:
As for the development - I guess when it will not get unlocked, it will be from my perspective one of the most wasted money on Android phone for many.

lol sorry what i ment is im on a vodafone branded firmware now and i wanted to flash a unbranded latest uk stock rom so it will be first to get OTA as branded firmwares can be a bit behind is it possible?
thanks again:good:
I don't think so, but someone else should confirm it.
Eg. you can download FW based on IMEI (http://lg-firmware-rom.com/download-firmware.php?f=YOUR_IMEI_HERE), not based on whether it's branded or not.
But still you have option to use the tools like LG Flash Tool 2014 and simply flash latest firmware you want (for your variant)

I know its confusing but you can only flash TOT files with that tool - if you get your FW via the imei cause its a KDZ, for KDZ flashing you need to use this tool...

[Q] [HELP] Unrooting LG G3 V10l

Hi guys i'm new to all this soo here is what i did.
I recently rooted my lg g3 V10l-EUR-XX and now i want to unroot it ... but the problem is that i found only the kdz file without the dll file ...
Can you please help me find it or if it's possible to downgrade it from v10l ? Sorry if i said something strange or impossible but i'm a complete newbie with the roots and stuff
If you download the LG PC Suite and click on "Restore Upgrade errors" it should reflash the current version, but i'm not sure as it might download the latest which is lollipop.
You could also flash your KDZ file using the LG Flash Tool. Without the need for a DLL file.

Because i have been reading a lot of post this week and everything messed up. That's why i didn't see that the LG Flash Tool doesn't require .dll file. I just brought my LG to stock and everything is fine ... Thank you for ''enlighting'' me ! :good:
In fact i have one more question ... probably a silly one but still. When the LG was still rooted i got an update for v20e i think but i didn't install it because i assumed that it will be bad and it will ''brick'' my phone ... and now when it's stock i don't have that update. What should i do or it is just a matter of time the update to show up ?

Since you device in now unrooted there will be no problem in updating. The update may show up some time, but you can always flash it if you want to.
NOTE: Lollipop CAN NOT be rooted.

and this can take between an hour and several days, so either wait for it or flash as suggested.

[Q] Go back to stock from CM12

So I flashed an unofficial build of CM12, literally hours before the official version came out, and now I want to go back to LG's stock software KK 4.4.2. But I'm new to flashing so I just watched a youtube video on flashing CM12 and did it. Now I can find no way to go back. I did try to use the LGflashtool, but my DL failed. Also, I'm not sure what my build number is. I think it's LG D855 10l but I'm not too sure because when I got he phone it was in English and not from India as the 10l suggests. I also have TWRP installed. I did no backup's or recovery, but the original software should still be in the internal memory right?
So what do I do guys? Did I goof?

The original software is gone, its not saved anywhere on the phone.
You need to find your stock file and flash it with the lg flash tool, its the only way to get back to stock in your situation.
Sorry, but I won't be able to help beyond that.

Well, thanks for the tip
At this point, it seems like I'd be better off keeping CM12 for a little while, no? I don't have the time or hear to fix this right now

LG G3

Hello Everyone !
I have a question which really interests me. I have stock rom installed on my LG G3 D855. Oversharpening of the screen annoys me. I have decided to root and install that overshapening fix. By doing this I will change kernel of my LG G3. The question is will I be able to receive any official software update from LG after rooting and changing kernel ?
Thank you for your patience you took to answer me !

no, if you change the kernel you don't be able to receive OTA updates, but you can install it over KDZ Flasher...
Hi, You don't need to receive the updates. The custom ROMs based on the stock firmware are way better and they are updated soon after the new stock firmware is out.
By rooting and installing the oversharpening fix, you must have installed TWRP, which means that you are no longer on stock recovery. Do not take any OTA or you may risk bricking your phone. Manually flashing is really your only option at this point. You can flash official firmware, which is available here, but you cannot update using OTA.

Is there any difference between flashing kdz and receiving OTA update. I mean are they (kdz file and received update ) different or completely same ?

OTA is over the air update, its via 3G or wifi, directly from LG servers, if you change the kernel, the servers or the update center dont know what version you have and dont detect your device or better saying dont know what phone you have!
Flashing in KDZ is completly different, because you need to use a PC to download the firmware, need to use a USB cable to connect your device in PC and use KDZ flash tool to flash the firmware on your LG G3...
anyway, i belive the 2nd option is better because sometimes the newest firmware dont be avaiable in update center when its leaked (of course it depends of your contry and etc) and you can download it on PC and put it on your G3 as soon as possible!
Thank you for detailed information. My question was actually about the files. Kdz file and received update. Are they the same ? Let me explain. Say I have 2 LG G3 D 855 smartphones. I receive OTA update 20I to first one and flash kdz 20I to second one. Will they be the same or different. Apps , tweaks , quick settings .etc ?

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.
