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

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!
i need help here. here's my scenario. im using lg g3 d855 with kitkat 4.4.2. i got an OTA notification update to lollipop (v20b SEA), since im rooted i tried to flash this using the lg flash tool with the correct kdz file. i was able to update it to lollipop and everything seems fine; however since i find it pretty big(for dpi) and also not rootable yet, i tried to downgrade again to kitkat (v10k) and it went fine. i was able to root it using purpledrake l, then install twrp to revert back to my nandroid backup. so overall, everything went back to normal.
after 3 days, i decided to go thru to lollipop again
so i did the flashing of the update, but after all of this and during the initial setup, i noticed that mobile network isnt working. i tried to ignore this and just continue to finish the setup. after all is done, and im on the homescreen. i noticed that i dont have the navigation button. also when i tried to switch on the mobile network, it was grayed out. i tried all the possible method of reflashing back this lollipop updte(even redownloading a fresh copy of the kdz file), but to no avail.
question is how to flash back this lollipop update with all functions working?
any help will be much appreciated. sorry for the long story!

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.

Hello everyone I am a new to android and flashing roms on kit kat and lollipop. Right now I have a stock LG G3 D851 (T-mobile) running android 4.4.2 kit kat. I plan on rooting this phone but I need to clear something up first. If I root my 4.4.2 phone and install twrp, could I flash CM 12.1 or Cloudy G3 2.3 or would I have to update to official lollipop 5.x.x, root, install twrp, then flash those roms?

You do not have to update before installing new roms. After your rooted, intalled Twrp and so on, you are good to go.
Make sure you read all about rooting and flashing rooms before doing so. The guides here are very helpful. Even if you have done it before each phone has its own process.
