[Q] Downgrading LG G3 Vigor D725 from 5.0.2 to 4.4.2 - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have no interest in rooting my device i want to downgrade my AT&T LG G3 Vigor D725 back to 4.4 kitkat because lolipop is an absolute god awful mess and yes ive tried looking it up on google but ive seen stock firmware downloads for the D850 but i have a D725 also are there any risks of downgrading? and sorry if im posting this in the wrong forum
EDIT:Changed 4.4.2 to 4.4 Kitkat

Seems like no body ever wants to help. I'm also looking for that firmware as well

Yea i was talking to my best friend on skype and he said that if he can he will buy an AT&T LG G3 Vigor with 4.4.2 or at least 4.4 and extract the firmware and send it to me. It seems that there is a small amount of interest for it. If he goes through with it I will upload the firmware here for you guys to download.

Why would you want to do that? Lolipop is ****ing horrible ESPECIALLY on the LG G3 Vigor

Did you ever get the ROM?

[Update] Android L (Lollipop) and the G2

Figured I'd start a thread about Lollipop since it was officially announced today. As others (namely @KD8JBF ) have pointed out, Sprint has updated their device RDF page to mention a ZVE firmware. Will this be the update to Lollipop? Any ideas?
How do you think the G2 will handle Lollipop, and what do you think about what we've seen of Lollipop so far? Hopefully ZVE will at least fix some of the bugs in LG's firmware.
no. its 4.4.2 http://device.sprintpcs.com/LG/LS980-SPRINT/latest

Hmm... Well then, wonder what will be new in ZVE, 'cause were already on 4.4.2... Do you think we'll get it eventually?

i think we will eventually. I think this update is the long awaited wifi-calling update.

I'm up for anything that uses more WiFi. I have a damn Airave because Sprint doesn't have signal where I live, which creates a whole other cluster of problems. Wonder how long it will take for us to get it?
I honestly do try not to be negative much....but where is the "This poll is stupid and pointless" option? :-/

Lol I'll try to add that.
I believe this is the update to use the home launcher from the G3. LG stated a few months ago that they were going to update the G2/Pro/Flex to the G3 launcher and they were attempting to have them all updated by Christmas.
is this rom running smoothly with lg 980 .
am a new user and am rooted and running cloudy g3 .

This thread isn't about a ROM, it's about a software update from Sprint. If you're confusing the two, I'll answer as if you meant update when you said "ROM". If you were to update to ZVE (or update at all) and you're on CloudyG3 right now, you would have to downgrade back to a stock version of the LG LS980 firmware. You can do this using LG's FlashTool and a tutorial I put up on here awhile back. I also put up tutorial videos with links and downloads on YouTube if you search for my name " Kristi Grant". When I get on my laptop I'll post links, or click on the link in my signature.

Its 5.0.2 now and called ZVF!! Woot...looks like lolli is dropping soon.
They might as well wait for 5.1 to help fix memory leak

It's still 5.02. Sprint likely found a bug in the ZVF build so the new one is ZVG.

I'm just waiting for someone to get the update, root it, and do a Stock clean TWRP Backup (before signing in).
Hopefully someone will be nice enough to do this for those of us without access to a Windows computer with the FlashTool.

Too bad the memory leak still is not fixed in 5.1

That is where 5.1.1 comes about. 5.1 fixed, 5.0 leaks. But then they had leaks in 5.1 which hopefully 5.1.1 fixes
I wonder if the update will bring wifi calling to the G2 finally.
T-Mobile's LG G2 should receive a Lollipop treat starting today

Android 6.0 for several variants of LG G4 - is this site legit?

I found this when searching for "LG-H812 Android 6", as I have a Canadian LG G4 from Rogers.
https://www.orduh.com/android-6-0-marshmallow-for-lg-g4/
This site claims to have Android 6.0 telus and videotron firmwares. First of all, are these legit Android 6.0 files and if so if I throw a Telus or Videotron rom on my phone will it brick it? Something about this seems fishy, but if it's legit I'm all for it. I'd prefer to be able to run Cyanogenmod though (when are those official bootloader unlocks coming anyway... lookin' at you LG - ಠ_ಠ).
These look like links to @hyelton's thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848
I clicked on the h811 link and it only lists 5.1.0 roms the h812 page lists 10f and 10g and I think both of them are 5.1.0 as well.

Are these 6.0 or 5.1?
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G4/Canada+H812/
I can't tell by the filename. If they are 6.0, would flashing them on a Rogers LG G4 break anything?

I don't have sprint one anymore. But when I did I know the files where all over you could try googling the exact firmware your looking for. Also I can't remember if this applies to a g3 but I know g4 and up at least as well as many other devices now employ anti roll back. I would make sure that's not the case on the g3 as well. Sorry I couldn't help more. Been a while since I used any of the g3s for a daily driver
Thx anyways
