This method for who still locked bootloader, ofcorse unlocked bootloader can do it too but i recomment using flashtool for faster
Dowload
dl1 - flashtool http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
dl2 - if you are using kitkat (4.4.4) and not rooted down load 230 kernel version (it only 8MB)
if you already at Lolipop (5.0.2) and want downgrade to able to install xposed, you must down load full rom for C6502 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759640 (No need download this if you are using Kikat 4.4)dl3 - recovery (no need if you already rooted and installed recovery) http://nut.xperia-files.com/?ql=fecb25893fe92b03904bb4d99596fbb5a0332e84

i already said at step 5, if you reboot right after flash rom then you cant flash xposed anymore. and righ now no recovery for ZL at Lolipop.
in my case, i must start over from step 1 dowgrade it to kitkat to able install recovery. right after flash rom do not reboot, keep flash xposed (xposed-sdk21-arm-20150430.zip) like the way you flash rom then it will done.

No, but you must root your phone to install recovery, as i know there are no way to root 283 and 292 unless you must flash lower kernel version.
if you rooted or you can find the way to root by yourself so skip step 1 and 2,
if not rooted, so read again dl2 (i already fixed )
it only 8MB then you dont need download full rom about 1GB and start from step 1

read the tutorial at 1st page carefully

sorry my bad english

hi there....
Currently my ZL is running on KK 4.4.2, rooted, dual recovery and xposed framework already installed. Can I directly use this method to upgrade to Lollipop or I have to upgrade it to KK 4.4.4 first?

Step 2 : Unlocking Bootloader on Xperia S
Step 2 : Unlocking Bootloader on Xperia S
Procedure To Unlock Bootloader of Sony Xperia S LT26i :
1.) Installation of Fastboot USB Drivers (Xperia S)2.) Unlocking Bootloader of Xperia S
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now, We Will Unlock The Bootloader,
Why to Unlock Bootloader?
1.) You can flash custom ROMs/Kernels
2.) You don't need to worry if the new firmware can be rooted or not as with unlocked bootloader u can always ROOT Your device
[ Before We Begin Unlocking Bootloader ]
Get the IMEI code for ur device: type *#06# in phone dialer to find it out, note only the digits (no dashes)
Make Sure The Fastboot Drivers Are Installed.
Make sure u have a windows PC with USB cable to connect the phone
Power down ur phone and keeping the Volume Up button pressed connect the USB cable to PC this will trigger FASTBOOT mode and windows
Will start driver installation, extract the above package and point the driver install to that location (usb_driver) folder
Once drivers are installed just disconnect cable and power on device.
[ How to Unlock ] (Official Way)
Video Link ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRH3pC7MhEA
For better understanding, I highly recommend you to watch the above video along with the instructions below:
1.) Download ‘Fastboot Drivers And Pacakges File For Xperia S’ file from → Here
2.) Extract the file you downloaded above on your PC. You’ll get the following three files:
drivers.zip
fastboot_with_Android_USB_file.zip
3.) Go to: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ and read everything!
This will open a web page in your default browser. Scroll to the bottom of the Instructions on the page and you’ll see a link like “Continue”, click on it.
In the pop-up window click “Yes, I’m sure” and then in the next window click on both the checkboxes, and then click “I accept”.
4.) Now insert the details as per the instructions:
First 14 digits of your IMEI No. Do NOT enter the last digit (15th) in the box. To know your IMEI No. dial *#06# on your Xperia Arc.
Your Name
Your Email Address
Click Submit.
5.) You’ll get a KEY to unlock boot loader. Write it down somewhere you can remember, it will be used later.
6.) Switch off your phone.
7.) Now extract the “fastboot_with_Android_USB_file.zip” file you got in Step 2.2.
8.) Pick up your phone (it must be switched off) and hold the “Menu” button (the key at the bottom right of your phone), now while holding the “Menu” button connect your phone to your PC with an USB cable.
9.) Once connected — the LED light near the phone’s USB plug will turn blue. If it doesn’t — repeat the Step 8.
10.) Now to install the drivers do the following:
Extract the “drivers.zip” file you got in Step 2.1
Open “Device Manager” on your PC and look for “S1Boot Fastboot” under the head “Other devices”
Right-click on “S1Boot Fastboot” and select “Update Driver Software…”
Now select “Browse my computer for driver software” and select the folder where you’ve extracted all the three files you got in Step 2. Once done — click Ok.
Now click Next (Make sure you’ve ticked the “Include subfolders” checkbox).
If you see any Windows security warning box, don’t worry . Just select “Install this driver software anyway”
Wait for “Windows has successfully updated your driver software” message to appear on your screen. Now click Close.
11.) Open the “fastboot” folder from the file we extracted in Step 7.
12.) Now hold Shift and press mouse right click (Shift + Mouse Right Click) anywhere on the empty white space inside the “fastboot” folder. And then select “Open command window here” from the context menu.
13.) Now in the command prompt window type/paste the following:
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
14.) It should return a value like “0.3”. This ensures that your device is correctly connected.
15.) Now type/paste the following line in the command prompt window:
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY
IMPORTANT! Replace the word “KEY” from the above line with the KEY that you received in Step 5. Then Hit Enter.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
16.) Now wait for the process to complete. Command prompt will show a “Finished” message when it will be completed.
17.)Once it’s done, disconnect the USB cable from your phone and switch it ON.
18.)Your phone’s boot loader should now be Unlocked.

Troubleshooting
If you experience a bootloop (phone constantly reboots and reboots on the boot screen) or a soft brick (powering on the phone shows an orange triangle with a phone and computer), don’t be afraid. XDA to the rescue!
For a bootloop:
Hold The Power Button And Volume Up Button
If You Hold For 3 Seconds = Soft Reset = 1 Viberation
If You Hold For 10 Seconds = Hard Reset = 3 Viberations***
Power on the Phone Again, Keep pressing Volume Up Button
Your phone will boot into recovery.
Select “Wipe data/ Factory reset”. (Volume Up for going up and Volume down to go down)
After the reset is done, select “Reboot system now”.
The phone will reboot and you should be all fine.
***Do Not Try Hard Reset Untill And Unless The Phone is Facing Major Problems,
For a soft brick:
You probably flashed some faulty firmware or firmware not meant for your device.
The File You Downloaded Must Be Incomplete.
Download the correct firmware and flash again.

Hi, I searched a lot for the way to flash a custom rom on my Xperia S. But now halfway through, I've got a problem. My device says it does not allow to unlock bootloader, so does that mean that there is no way I can flash a custom rom on my phone? :crying:

Wait i will let you know the complete story.
so what happened is
first i was on CM11 for few mnths then switched to MIUIv5 for 1 month. everything was working fine
but when day before yesterday i flashed PA rom i am not able to access the recovery now (previously there was TWRP in my XS). now i can't flash any zip file
when i reboot to recovery it gets stuck on black blank screen. Even the recovery apps like twrp are not working. when i tried to install recovery through app, the app crashes.
As recovery is not working i cant even switch to other roms or any zip file.
i am totally stuck on this ROM
i asked this que on sony mobile group on FB (created by some sony fans), one of the member said "probably this is not ROM fault but the kernel fault. consider trying new kernel"

Ah yes, even that one doesn't have recovery.
Unlocked bootloader is must.
You need an Android app. You can find the app here. Also, here is the page of the twrp.
What You need to do is, download the twrp from here. Rename it to fotakernel.img .
Then copy it to Your sdcard.
Then run the following commands on the terminal emulator app:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/fotakernel.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
TWRP installed!

Can't install custom recovery

Hello guys.
So i decided to try to root my g pad. I tried to root throw windows but I kept getting errors so I ended up using towelroot which gave me root access.
Then I wanted to install TWRP but when I did it throw windows I got errors and I kept having the stock recovery. So I tried with an app from play store but then I just got stuck with secure boot error... Now I am back with stock which I got with the LGmobile support software.
I have attached my software specifications. Can someone please tell me what I need to do to be able to install a custom ROM on my G Pad?
Thanks

I have exactly the same software specifications (V50020a) and Build-Number (KOT49I.V50020a) and this is what I did.
Tablet: Security- activate unknown sources, Developer options - USB-debugging enabled
Computer: download and install USB-drivers for LG G Pad 8.3 http://www.lg.com/de/service-mobil-telefon/lg-G-Pad-8.3
1. Root with Tovelroot V2 http://towelroot.com/
2. Install SuperSu v2.00 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
3. Start SuperSu and Update Binaries ( normal)
SuperSu says failed to update Binaries please reboot, rebooted
after reboot Supersu works fine.
4. Install SdFix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684188
should work without problem, if not you have a problem with root.
5. Install Flashify http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2349847
Backup kernel & recovery , just in case.
I did NOT use this to flash the new recovery, but later on to enter in the new recovery
6. Download the newest version of TWRP for v500 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2551499
Attention !!! you have to take the one where it says:" These builds are for the 4.4.2 bootloader"
download new version 2.7.1.0 !! 4.4.2-v500-TWRP_2.7.1.0-recovery.zip !!
copy the recovery.zip to your tablet
7. Download the tool to flash recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698267
look at step 3 , download: V50020_aboot_twrp_v2.zip, to your computer and unzip it.
8. Connect the tablet (MTP) to the computer and run file:runme.bat, ! on tablet you have to allow acess from the computer and SuperSu acess for adb !
when finished disconnect usb and let the tablet reboot
9. On the tablet start Flashify , in the menu press: reboot to recovery
10.Tablet starts to the TWRP-recovery. Now go to:install and flash the new version of twrp(2.7.1.0) that you have copied to the tablet.

this worked for me.
Edit: For all who have the new V50020d firmware
you have to modify the runme.bat file before you run it!
Have a look over here, post 72

Hey Guys,
i've got a problem: i tried to flash twrp like it was said in the Korea Thread, but my G Pad won't start into recovery.
Not when i type "adb reboot recovery" in CMD nor when i try to get into twrp with flashify.
Any suggestions?

Which software specification do you have? If it is the V50020a than have a look at #3.
Do you have root access? Did you flash the right recovery file for your tablet?
Would be easier to help if you could provide us with some more detailed information.

Of course, sorry.
Android 4.4.2
Kernel 3.4.0
Build-Nr. KOT49I.V50020a
Root Accesss: Yes
I already did step #3 several times (from this Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698267)
After i did this and tried to reboot into recovery, it just rebooted normally and not into recovery.
It was the second time this happenend. After the first time i used the LG mobile tool and could reboot into stock recovery, then i tried again #3 from above and couldn't reboot into any recovery..

Ok, just to clarify. With. #3 I mean the third post in this thread.
Please try to install Sdfix so we can be absolutely sure that root is working. Have you installed the drivers from lg on your computer? Is usb- debugging enabled on the tablet?

Oops, sorry. It's early..
i also did your steps there, but they include the korean thread..
i did SDFix, it said and also says now:
"No Action Required, This device appears to already have write access to MicroSD Cards. No action has been taken....."
Yep and yep.
EDIT: Maybe it is important, if i try to reboot into recovery with flashify, in the top left corner is written:
Secure booting Error!
Cause: Device UnLock!, so Boot Success!!
Then it reboots into system.

On your computer you can see ADB Interface: Android Sooner ADB Interface in the device manager.
When connecting the tablet with usb you have set it to MTP or to charging only?

ADB Interface -> Android Sooner Single ADB Interface
I set it to MTP.
I'm really desperate... i tried anything i found googling

can't install twrp or cwm recovery
I can't install even with this method, because my software specs are: android version - 4.4.2, kernel version - 3.4.0, compilation number - KOT49I.V50020a, software version - V50020a

Ops, didn't see your edit in post 10. The message is ok it is the same I have on my tablet before showing TWRP recovery.
Looks like you did everything OK but something messed up.
Did you get the tablet with this software version installed or did you get it per OTA.

I got it OTA, i once had twrp on it, but i tried to backup with LGs Tool and got stuck on bootloop and had to use LGs Mobile Tool.
Was the first of 2 times.
It's weird that i can't even boot into stock recovery, but in Flashify it says i got stock recovery installed...

Maybe the backup with the Lg tool wasn't a good idea.
When in Flashify you press Backup/Restore you can press the:!
In the small circle. It says that it reads the recovery from the latest cache file......so that maybe the reason why it shows you still the stock recovery.
I think the best would be to go back to stock with the Lg mobile support software and afterwards start again from the beginning like I posted in #3. Sorry
@Claudio Santos. Your tablet came with this software version or did you receive a OTA update?

I did go back to stock 2 times now and both times it did not work... used that method both times...

What else can I say, the discription in#3 is what worked for me on a new v50020a. Like you know it uses the method discribed in the Korea Thread, which worked for others also. The fact that you can see the message: Secure booting error......shows that the flashing tool worked ,but something went wrong at the end.
Maybe you should download it again ( just in case there was a problem with the download)and give it another try.

THANK YOU!

After trying 3 different complete HOW-TO ROOT and RECOVERY guides here on XDA and a few others on the internets, this gentleman finally helped me root and TWRPify my gpad. I was stuck on the last software struggling to find a way to root. I think all new GPad owners should start with these steps, as most guides, I feel like, are made for older software. Thank you Sir, you're a gentleman and a scholar!

I managed it!!!!!!!
I used the LG Mobile Tool and set the upgrade fail back (however it is called in english - sorry)
Then i did EXACTLY what you said in post #3
BUT! After you flashed the recovery for the first time you have to unplug your USB cable before rebooting and it will work!
Thanks guy, you're the best!

[Guide] [XAS] [UPDATED] Xperia Unlocking BL, flashing ROMs/kernels BPaul's 5.1.1

This is a guide for XPERIA ACRO S (other xperia users can also refer needed information)
[Below procedure looks lendy, but you'll just need max 30 minutes if you have every downloaded file.]
I make this guide for noobs as there weren't such guide (even for my first time of flashing ROM I didn't get any such guide, so I decided to make one)
This Guide is especially for flashing BPaul's 5.1.1 ROMs (B3||B2||B1)
To Flash Different Versions Of BPaul's ROM follow Respective Guide:
Beta1 threads POST #13
Beta2 same thread
Beta3 threads POST #40
So here I'm giving detail process to install Bpaul's 5.1.1 with every links needed.
we are going to take below steps;
1. unlocking Bootloader
2. flashing kernel with recoveries
3. backing up stock ROM
4. installing BPaul's 5.1.1
Special Thanks;
@BPaul (for awesome ROM)
@cobrato (for stock kernel)
@jajb (for gapps)
NOTE: I'AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DAMAGED YOUR PHONE BY CROSS FLASHING OTHER ROMS,KERNELS ETC. BELOW PROCESS IS SUCCESSFULLY CARRIED ON XPERIA ACRO S. AS NOOBS CAN MAKE MANY MISTAKES, I'AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DAMAGE.
-DO AT YOUR OWN RISK-
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-Here we START-
Note: Before Unlocking Bootloader, I suggest you to Backup your TA Partition. (Trim Area) IF in future something goes wrong with network signal related issues or bootloader issue, you could restore this backup. TA Partition can be backed-up ONLY before unlocking bootloader. To backup TA follow this "Guide" and after you could below steps. Also your phone needs to be Rooted to backup TA, if your phone isn't rooted, follow this "Guide"
*_UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER_*
(unlocking bootloader will erase everything on your phone, i suggest you to take backup of your data)
First check weather you can unlock your bootloader. To do so type *#*#7378423#*#* in dialer and find bootloader unlocked status.
IF bootloader unlock allowed = YES (you can unlock)
IF bootloader unlock allowed = NO (you can't unlock)
IF bootloader unlocked = YES (already unlocked)
Then you need to take unlocking code from official Sony website (link below)
LINK1 Unlocking Bootloader
after clicking on above link, on the page just scroll down
1.select your device
2.provide your IMEI
3.you'll get unlock code (save it properly)
Next you need to download minimal adb and fastboot (link below)
LINK1 Miniamal ADB and Fastboot
install it to your computer.
Now we have to connect phone in fastboot mode, follow below steps
1.Turn on usb debugging mode.
(setting > developer option > usb debugging)
2.Turn Off your Xperia Acro S
3.Press and Hold volume up button and then connect usb to computer.
(If you see Blue LED of phone, then everything is going right)
(Let your computer install essential fastboot drivers)
[If blue LED disappears after some seconds and phone starts charging, that means your PC isn't installing fastboot drivers. In such situation REFER Q&A thread POST #4 ]
Now open minimal adb and fastboot (we installed previously)
Type below command
-fastboot devices
-fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x(your unlock code without this brackets)
-fastboot reboot
DONE
(Now you have successfully unlocked your bootloader)
[ To check that if you have succeeded in unlocking bootloader type *#*#7378423#*#* in dialer and find bootloader unlock status.
ALSO you'll notice that your phone is factory resetted]
*_FLASHING KERNEL WITH RECOVERY'S_*
As you have STOCK ROM, you need to flash STOCK KERNEL with recoveries (link below)
LINK1 Stock Kernel
-The above kernel cantain CWM as well as TWRP
After opening above link, download respective kernel
Save the above downloaded kernel to fastboot folder on your computer.
-Get into fastboot mode and connect to computer.
(Press and Hold volume up button and then connect usb to computer).
Now open minimal adb and fastboot (we installed previosly)
Type below command
-fastboot devices
-fastboot flash boot kernel_62B196_acroS.elf
-fastboot reboot
DONE
(Now you have successfully flashed kernel with recovery)
*_BACKINGUP STOCK ROM_*
As you have successfully flashed kernel with recoverys, its easy to take a full backup of your system.
To enter into recovery follow below steps
1.To get into CWM reboot your phone, press volume up key for few times when the magenta LED appears.
(To navigate use volume buttons, for selecting use power button)
2.To get into TWRP reboot your phone and tap the screen for few times when the magenta LED appears.
3.Select Backup.
(let the process finish)
I SUGGEST TO TAKE BACKUP FROM BOTH RECOVERY'S
DONE
(Now you have successfully Backed-up your ROM)
Flashing BPaul's Beta2 ROM works ONLY IF YOUR PHONE HAS Beta1 ROM installed. If you don't have Beta1 installed, first of all install it. . If your phone has Beta 1, ignore this and carry on.
*_FLASHING ROM BPaul's 5.1.1_Beta 2 over Beta 1*
For Flashing This ROM your phone (Xperia Acro S) needs to be rooted if your not rooted, follow this "Guide" Also USB Debugging in developers option should be enabled.
A] Download ROM BPaul's 5.1.1 Beta 2 (link below)
LINK1 BPaul's B2
C] Download below minimal GApps for 5.1.1 and copy it to your sdcard/ext_sdcard(link below)
LINK1 GApps for 5.1.1

LINK1 Fota Kernel
2.Copy above downloaded kernel + rom to internal storage of your phone
3.Open minimal adb and fastboot
Type below command;
-adb shell
-su
(confirm popup su request from your phone)
-dd if=/sdcard/hikari-fota_CWM.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
Now you need to enter into recovery. To do so, restart your phone in recovery mode.
1.Wipe system + factory reset
2.Install zip from sdcard/ext_sdcard
(select beta-hikari...... rom)
3.Wipe cache + dalvic cache
4.Again install zip from sdcard/ext_sdcard
(select 5.1.1 gapps)

There are many ways available for rooting Acro S.
For Me, 'towelroot' was the easiest way to root my phone. After that, you can manually download SuperSU app from play store.

BPaul's Beta1 Flashing Guide
(As B2 version is flashable over B1, i created this guide for newer users who are facing ERROR7)
The process is little bit different compaired to B2 flashing process.
--PHONE NEEDS TO BE ROOTED AND USB DEBUGGING ENABLED.--
*_Downloads_*
1. ROM http://d-h.st/yt2G
2. Kernel http://d-h.st/nJXM
3. Flashtool (install it) http://d-h.st/Kb8
(After installing, goto installation folder and then drivers, install it. Select xperia acro s, fastboot driver while installing)
4. Min ADB and Fastboot (install it) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1S0LCuXCnnmOWhnUk1ZWVdQakE/view?pli=1
5. SuperSU http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
*_FLASHING B1_*
1. UNZIP downloaded ROM to a folder. (You'll see 2imgs and 2recoverys)
2. Copy TWRP to your internal memory of phone.
3. Now open Min ADB and Fastboot and type below command.
-adb shell
-su
-dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img
of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
4. Open Flashtoool.
5. Click flash button.
6. Select fastboot mode .
7. Remove USB, Reboot phone to fastboot mode. (Power off phone, push vol up key and connect USB )
--FOLLOW BELOW STEPS CAREFULLY--
8. Setect SYSTEM to flash and open system.img from the extracted folder. (wait minimum 6 mins)
9. Select Kernel to flash and open downloaded kernel boot_07_05_15.img (wait for a min)
10. Reboot device into system.
DONE!
Your phone will take a long time to boot up for the first time, so just dont worry.
Also for Flashing Beta2 version your phone needs to be rooted. For that copy downloaded SuperSU to your phone and install it manually through your recovery.
NOW YOU CAN FLASH B2 VERSION WITHOUT ANY ERROR.

When I type: dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
it says that there's no such file or directory even though I copied twrp.img to my phone?

Did you rooted your phone?
Was towelroot successful?
And do not place twrp.img in any folder. Just in internal memory.

T-Mobile LG G3 D851 30D
This thread covers various methods of installing both stock and stock rooted Marshmallow 6.0 30D onto the T-Mobile LG G3 D851.
Information:
30D is the first official Marshmallow Android 6 update for the T-Mobile LG G3.
It was first released in KDZ form the morning of April 27 2016.
Official update methods include both an OTA update from 20G to 30D and a KDZ update through the LG Mobile Support Tool.
The bootloader is still unlocked with no sort of OEM Unlock toggle. Still no bootloader/fastboot mode.
Kingroot can temp-root 30D! At least 1 Marshmallow build will always have root. Not very secure... but good for modders.
Android Version: 6.0
Android security patch level: 2016-04-01
Baseband version: MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c1.13-00114-M8974AAAAANPZM-1.43646.2
Kernel version: 3.4.0
Build number: MRA58K
Software version D85130d
Security software version: MDF v1.1 Release 2
Install Directions:
OTA:
When the software update is available, the update icon will display in the status bar at the top of the screen.
Swipe down from the top and tap the notification.
Restart & Install
Note: If prompted, connect to a Wi-Fi network to download the software update.
Your device will restart to perform the update.
When the update is complete, your phone will restart and transition through a series of alerts stating "Android is upgrading".
Once your phone has powered on you will be notified that the software update successfully installed. Tap "OK" to close the notification.
Troubleshooting
If you have not been notified of an available software update, you can manually check if one is available.
From the Home Screen, tap Apps > Settings > General Tab > About phone
System updates > Check now to manually check for a new update.
You will be prompted if a new software update is available.
LG Mobile Flash Tool:
Click here to download the LG Mobile Support Tool to your computer, then open.
Connect your phone to your PC.
Tap Start Upgrade within the LG Mobile Support Tool to begin.
Device will progress through Analysis, Download, Update and Complete during the update process.
While updating, the device will power off and enter a download mode at 5% completion. This is normal. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE USB CABLE!
At approx 95% of completion, the device will power on. This may take several minutes. This is normal. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE USB CABLE!
If your software update stops before it has completed, please do not close the update tool and try the update again. Additional troubleshooting steps are below.
The tool will notify you when the update is complete. Tap Exit to return to the main screen.
Wait for device to power on. Once powered on, the device will reconnect to the LG Mobile Support Tool. When connected, observe that the version number reflects the latest Software D85110r. It is now OK to DISCONNECT THE USB CABLE.
Troubleshooting
If the phone software upgrade stopped before completion, please do not close the update tool and try to update again following original instructions.
If you already closed the update tool, and the phone will not turn on normally, please follow the steps below:
Remove back cover and battery.
Record IMEI/ESN/MEID from device label in battery well.
Replace battery and back cover.
Open LG Mobile Support Tool.
Connect the device to PC via USB cable.
From the drop down menu, select Options > Upgrade Recovery.
Enter your phone information and tap OK
After checking the phone information, it will start to update automatically. If it does not work, the device may require service to attempt recovery.
TWRP + Flashable-ZIPs:
These directions should be used by anyone who already has TWRP installed on their D851.
I used the latest TWRP 3.0 build @ https://dl.twrp.me/d851/
Don't want root? Then it's probably easiest to just flash the stock KDZ using LGUP.. or just skip the SuperSu steps.
1. Download the following 3 files and place them on the internal or external sdcard:
a. LG-D85130D-Flashable.COMPLETE.zip
b. LG-D85130D-Flashable.Boot-AUTOREPACK.zip
c. SuperSU 2.65 or higher. [STABLE] or [BETA] Thanks to Chainfire!2. (re)Boot into TWRP if not there already.
3.* Backup current partitions: boot, system, data, efs (backing up anything is optional but suggested)
4.* Up to you if you want to wipe data (TWRP > Wipe > Swipe slider) but not needed if coming from a stock rom.
5. Install the 3 zip files you put on your sdcard, 1 at a time:
a. LG-D85130D-Flashable.COMPLETE.zip (Install > select zip > swipe to confirm/flash)
b. LG-D85130D-Flashable.Boot-AUTOREPACK.zip (Install > select zip > swipe to confirm/flash)
c. SuperSU zip (Install > select zip > swipe to confirm/flash)
After zips finish flashing you can reboot! If TWRP asks if you want to install SU, hit no. If TWRP says No OS installed, ignore it.
Alternatively, if you are already on 30D already without root and want root/TWRP you can use Kingroot.
Click the button below to display how-to steps...
1. Download the latest Kingroot APK here.
2. Install Kingroot and get temproot with it.
3. Download TWRP @ https://dl.twrp.me/d851/ and download LG-D85130D-Flashable.Boot-AUTOREPACK.zip linked below.
4. Enable USB Debugging on your D851 and connect your device to the computer and run the following commands to install TWRP.
Code:
adb push LG-D85130D-Flashable.Boot-AUTOREPACK.zip /sdcard/
adb push twrp-3.0.0-0-d851.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp-3.0.0-0-d851.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
reboot recovery
[if no computer]
d/l TWRP n Boo Repack onto phone n move it to root of internal storage.
Run the su, dd and reboot commands above in terminal emulator.
5.* Backup current partitions: boot, system, data, efs (backing up anything is optional but suggested)
6.* Up to you if you want to wipe data (TWRP > Wipe > Swipe slider) but not needed if coming from a stock rom.
7. Install the 2 zip files you put on your sdcard, 1 at a time:
a. LG-D85130D-Flashable.Boot-AUTOREPACK.zip (Install > select zip > swipe to confirm/flash)
b. SuperSU zip (Install > select zip > swipe to confirm/flash)
Downloads:
Please do not mirror my files!

Hi there. Great work! Quick question though. If I have stock lollipop and it doesn't have root/twrp. The steps to do this would be to root first -> install twrp -> and then follow the steps?

@autoprime
As always your work here is appreciated, thank you for the posting, this will benefit everyone.

@autoprime - awesome work, thanks so much!
A couple suggestions/notes, dunno if ypu want to put this in the OP for some people.
1. If you've encrypted your phone, you'll need to unencrypt first.
2. If you have Xposed installed, uninstall it before you start.
My phone feels new with this update, it's great.

Anyone updated please tell me knock code security with 6 taps or 3 taps like 20G? Thanks

If I am currently on CM13, besides the radio, can I flash bootloader and boot? If so which boot?
Thanks for the help.

Followed this same root guide and after flashed linage os 17.1 a64_bvN type with recovery. It worked successfully.
Despite not having service ,in the place im in right now, it also works. Both SIM cards work

Thanks a lot guys!
I successfully installed Linage OS 17.1 on my SM-A105FN.
Everything works, except face-unlock and nfc.
But that is fine and I can wait for a future update that might fix it.
Thanks for the tutorial!:laugh::good:

Might work but are you a little tech savvy? Because it's quite a long process and took me a day to complete.
Because of all the bootloops and reflashing and so on.
If it's not an issue I'll be happy to help out

Could you pass me the ROM link?

Thank you for the port, awesome job!
In my opinion it needs some improvements, like in sound, we lost quality, and maximum volume in respect to stock one.
Also the notification bar gets a small black bar in the top, stock one was using all the edges.
And maybe a little hand in some animations that runs randomly not smooth.
Apart from that, i think its a really good and stable ROM.
Any ideas in how to safely root, and maybe add it Viper4Android or some audio lib?
