[Q] Downgrade KDZ - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I want to root my G3, however, my phone came stock with Lollipop.
I went through the KDZ firmware IMEI tool to get me to my firmware but even that is Lollipop based. What else can I do? The file was named 'D85520C_00.kdz'. What firmware can I use instead? I get the following information:
Download Firmware
Version: V20C
Country: SEA/HUB(SINGAPORE)
Model: LGD855
Dimension: 1.05 GiB
Full List For Your Phone Here
Can I download another firmware for the D855 not SEA/HUB based? Or does it have to be SEA/HUB and V20C? Will it brick if I get another file with KitKat but for the D855 not necessarily from SEA/HUB?

Download the V10K KitKat KDZ for SEA/HUB from here http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=41 under the Singapore section
Using a firmware from another region wont brick it so long as its for D855 but there will be compatibility issues since SEA/HUB firmwares were specifically designed for users in Singapore
Please Note 6SEA/HUB is for the 16GB Variant and SEA/HUB is for the 32GB variant so please distinguish carefully before installing

Hi @itsbighead !
Just wanted to say your posts from almost 4 months ago has saved me... :good::good::good::good: Just got a SEA D855 and have been looking EVERYWHERE for a while for the kdz so I can install TWRP (cannot be done on Lollipop).
Was wondering though - if I live in Australia (for example) would it make sense to change regions? Are there any adverse affects?

Theres no visible adverse effects
But ive noticed that after installing the v20e from Taiwan on my Vodafone D855 it would have really bad battery so i dont know whether or not it was a problem with v20e that time or something else
At this time im running Non branded V20H on my Vodafone D855 since Vodafone take forever to release updates

The update must be a minor security patch, which does not change the software version at all. How big was the file? If it's less than 200MB, then it's just a small patch.
I have the same problem. I have the same model and it's rooted. I've tried to update my phone via PC suite for a couple of times. Even if you just updated the phone via the PC suite or ota, it will still notify you that there is an available update which is exactly the same version if you check with pc suite. I guess it is a bug. Just ignore it.

Exact same scenario here. Version V10K-SEA-XX, downloads the update which is over 1 GB, applies it, phone restarts, same Android, baseband, kernel, build and software versions still showing (4.4.2), and running the support tool will show that an upgrade is still available. Tried it 4 times or so with the same result. My phone's not rooted either.
have you tried this site: http://lg-firmware-rom.com/ ? just enter your imei and download the latest firmware available for your phone. to flash it you can use LG Flash Tool 2014 .
Yeah sadly it seems that the latest rom showing on that site is the only I already have:
Model: LGD855
Latest Firmware: V10K_00
Thanks for the link though.
same problem in here ..
same phone model , d855 - 32GB
same version , v10k-sea-xx
and checked on http://lg-firmware-rom.com/
Model:LGD855
Latest Firmware:V10K_00
any solution ?
if i flash the lolipop rom through the lg flash tool will it brick the phone ?

Don't even upgrade your D855
Hi friends. I was able to update my D855 to 5.0 in India via LG PC suit but trust me friends, the update is so worthless and sux that within 2 days I again moved back to 4.4.2. with the help of LG Flash Tool 2014. Guest mode completely gone, users mode is there but you can't create users with restricted profiles, ART switching is pathetic giving lags to the phone infact too many lags like coming out of an app or unlocking the phone will make the widgets on home screen jump and appear(mind you it's not the animation effect), no smooth transition, RAM consumption was too high, phone getting hot too often, etc.. I must say that update took away too much than giving.
upgrade issue
I'm also having the same issue on upgrading via lg support tool, but after downloading and installing the 1gb+ file twice, nothing happened :crying: . Anyone has found a solution?
Lollipop 20 e available now sea version via pc suit
Download your wanted firmware and upgrade with LG Flash Tool 2014
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
I don't know what the guy couple posts above me is saying, but my LG feels like a total different phone after upgrading to Lollipop. Just make sure you do a factory reset after upgrading to Lollipop for the smoothest experience.
hello , what's the difference between the LG Flash tool 2014 and the LG mobile support tool?

[Q] Replace V10k-SEA-XX by European version

Hi All!
I just bought LG G3 32GB 3GB Ram unlocked (For European market)
Software version is: V10K-SEA-XX.
Do you confirm that's for South East of Asia?
I live in Europe (France).
I would like to set European or French version on phone.
Do you think that's possible?
I see there is D85510L_00.kdz...
Can I push this version on phone?
Can you help me to set my phone with european or french version? please
If you need more information, don't hesitate.
Thank you!
Stephane
What variant you have? D855?
Those symbols after V10K are your operator (carrier) symbols. At least those are in my country so I believe they are everywhere like that.
If you have D855 you can flash that, V10N is the latest Kitkat or V20D is the latest Lollipop.

V10C in this guide
V20D here
To flash them you will use guide that I have linked under V10C.
I would suggest to go with Lollipop (20D).

Lg G3 D858hk UAE Region- Update Shows MAL/HKG Region

Need Help for Firmware!!!
Hello guys!
I need your help
I Am using Lg G3 D858hk with UAE Region model and recently i used CSMG tool to check i have update or not. I got the update ut the Lg phone firmware website shows that firmware is for MAL/HKG region so should i update that firmware or not?:crying:
first of all.. this is the wrong section to ask it... after saying that you have the UAE model and want to flash the HKG from another country.. if you are not sure of what you flash... just don't flash it you could brick your phone without knowing what you do ^^

If I flash a KDZ from a different region, where will my next OTA come from?

So I flashed a non-rooted Polish 10D to my TWN version. Now new updates are available for 10E for Poland and 10C for Taiwan.
From which version will my OTA / LG Bridge firmware update be coming from?
hey, how did you flash it? - i have the TWN too (bought unlocked from amazon) , and where did you take the KDZ?
do i have a brick risc? and did it formatted the device?

No, It's not gonna brick it.
Flash Tool won't allow flash different storage size KDZ or TOT file.
Is this the one is D855 TOT's folder called
LGD855 V10b-TWN-JUN-19-2014-32G.zip?
U know I'm kinda keen on lg's and I already bricked a g2 so this is why I'm asking thoroughly
