Has anyone here used it?
I was wondering what firmware etc it was on as i get one this Saturday. I'm also assuming we arent lucky like the t-mobile version and have an unlocked bootlater as default? I Have always been addicted to flashing roms haha, been doing it since the HTC Dream (I.e the G1) days with jesusfreke root.
Having come from a Nexus 4 where it is easy to return to root/relock the bootlader if you need to send in for a warranty, What is it like for the G3? If i put TWRP on there and something hardware wise goes wrong, is it easy to relock etc? I have read about the LGFlashtool but notice a lack of availability of the Optus Firmware to use as a backup
Cheers
Please bare with me as I am only 15 and know little to nothing about Android as I have been a Apple user my whole life. For Christmas my parents ordered me a used unlocked AT&T LG Optimus G Pro off of eBay and I am using it with NET10. I really, really want to upgrade it from Jelly bean to Kit Kat or whatever the new operating system is but every time I do it tells me I can't because it says ". I have downloaded the This device is suspected of rooting. Software update is not available for rooted device. app, Super SU which has the option to do a " Full Unroot". If I do this will this fix the problem and let me update my phone without locking it back to AT&T or bricking it? I am really worried about this, and locking my phone back to AT&T. When I first got the phone it would not even give me the option to update since the update comes from AT&T servers so I put an un-registered AT&T sim in my phone temporarily and every since it has gave me the option to update.
you dont need the official firmware to upgrade this, check out the android development section and look for the roms.
also there s a guide around in the general section, how to flash a rom and do some stuff like rooting, recovery flashing etc.
you should bear yourself to read as much as possible. it s easier than you think even if it looks dangerous and so on. if u re going to unroot your device, that s fine but think about other possibilities if u dont unroot the device
edit: i assume u re alrwady rooted and have a custom recovery inside. DO NOT UPGRADE WITH LG OFFICIAL FIRMWARES or you brick your device.

Hi,
I bought a LG G3 from Ebay which was blocked on AT&T for using it both in the USA and in Europe (I choose this model for its frequencies supported). It is a D850 model as you can expect.
After receiving it, I unlocked it to run different carriers. I rooted it as well.
I want to install the AT&T 5.0.1 update from OTA (I don't care about root right know). But I have one big problem. I keeps saying that my software is up to date which is wrong. Is it because I'm on T-Mobile right know and AT&T blocks the update ?!
I'm using build D85010d. right know and I never had a software update notification. I've tried to set my phone date to a couple days forward as suggested by Android Police. No luck.
I just want to have the update. After that if it says "you are rooted, you can't install", I will unroot it and reinstall.
Is there any way to update manually ? I heard it's impossible thanks to AT&T.
This is beginning to irritate me.
Thank you in advance

have you found any solutions to this? i'm using an unlocked att G3 as well (although not blocked) and I can't figure out how to update. i even tried to put someone's ATT sim in it and it still said it was up to date, which is completely false. god i hate att. can't update, can't use Qi charging, can't do anything.
I can't update my lg g3(d855) too. It's have the 4.4.2 kitkat and i want upgrade it to 5.0.1 lollipop.
Plzz help if u find a solution to this problem
Same issue .......how to update to lollipop manually ....................... if someone can help it will be appreciated :good:
I am having an issue with the AT&T Lollipop update, as well. I bought a D850 from eBay on KitKat 4.4.2, and when I inserted my AT&T MVNO SIM and checked for updates, it found the Lollipop update. It started downloading, but about 2/3 of the way through, the display shut off (I had it set for 15 minutes). When I got the display back, this action had stopped the download, and it did not continue. Now, when I check for updates, it just says I have the current version. I have run system resets, and tried a different AT&T SIM, but I can't get the Lollipop download again. Does the start of a FOTA download set a flag somewhere that prevents re-downloading?
Only thing I could think of is asking for a .kdz file for your phone and carrier and then flashing that using the LG Flash Tool
unable to update D850
I have the same issue. I have a D850 AT&T version and my is not showing any update available. I am in 4.4.2. Any solution how to update? Please help. Thanks to all
I'm another victim of this. Have someone found a solution? I'm desperated. And sad, I feel scammed.
At&t LG g3 d850
Hi, I'm New in the XDA forum.
My name is Neeraj
And when I saw your post, I found me.
What ever you do please don't do custom rom update.i found that in a hard way.
Like you I too bought one from ebay, at&t logo but unlocked, and while trying to update says it's up to date.
Later I found out I need at&t SIM to update the phone. Because it's only network unlocked not the entire phone. It still got some sorts of at&t restrictions.
Any way I went and rooted, installed twrp, and cm13 6.0.1 then Walla my phone goes into reboot loop and when it finally opens up the network doesn't work.
By the I'm in Australia , temporary residence and I don't have at&t SIM.
So good luck and infact i'm hoping some one will guide me too
I fixed it, don't know exactly if it will work on others.
But what exactly I did was search Google download official stock rom for at&t LG G3 D 850 ( KitKat or lollipop), flash the rom and Walla got my IMEI number restored and it fixed my boot loop problem.
Then backed up by all data, IMEI, etc and then flashes back to custom CM marshmallow. Now all is well. ?
Hope it this will help some one aleast a newbie lie me
I bought my LG G3 D851 brand new. As soon as I charged it and powered up I got a notice for a system upgrade. Naturally I did it. So it made Lollipop 5.0.1 on my phone. My next step was to root it. Well that's when the hell started. There several guides and tutorials. None are working. I'm with Wind Mobile in Canada ?. Not that that should matter should it? My question is will I be able revert my firmware back to the original and root it easily.? I was told that trying to root with ? is not likely going to work. How can I put my phone back to the "out of the box" state so I can root it?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
I have some probably stupid questions that hours of searching hasn't yielded a firm answer to.
I'm looking to buy a used M9 with the intent of running Lineage 14.1 on it.
Questions:
1. Not a question, but the only international M9 I've found has a bad microphone, so I probably won't go that route. Otherwise, I'd go that route.
2. I'm thinking that an At&t one is my best bet as I'm on cricket and probably will be for quite some time (at least). I've read that (unlike my POS At&t S4) the bootloaders are unlockable but the real issue is gaining s-off ( which is needed to install and not just boot TWRP, right?). Can S-off be attained on a phone that has the OTA Marshamallow update installed (as I have yet to see one on ebay that is for sure 5.0)? If not, is there a way to revert one back to 5.0 so I can?
3. Failing that, there is T-mobile. First, do the T-mobile ones have a different GSM/LTE modem, or is it the same as the At&t version? Second, my understanding is that even if an app-unlockable T-mobile phone unlocked it is one accidental partition write away from loosing the unlock. Is that true, or are app-unlocked T-mobile's permanently unlocked once "permanently unlocked"?
4. On the Lineage OS site I only see a listing for US GSM M9's. Is this a combined image between Att and Tmobile, or is only one supported (or lumped into the international GSM version)?
Sorry for the dumb questions, but having had to return two LG G4's over similarly stupid Gotcha's, I'd like to buy without having a 75% chance of having to send the bleeping thing back because I can't actually install a rom on it.

Will, I won't answer all the questions, but still, u do not need S-OFF to install TWRP or roms.
U only need to unlock your bootloader.
And be sure to make a system image backup if u ever been to go back to stock, or take an OTA.
The "readme" thread is your friend. ?
I feel stupid. Somehow I missed that thread... That answers my questions, Att phone it is.
