Hi, first post here, bare with me if I miss some etiquette.
I have updated to lollipop using LG PC Suite, with SFR (french carrier).
I was hoping to do my first root after the update, but I now read about the locked bootloader.
Damned !
What are my chances or options to root now ?
Thanks for your answers

Downgrade to kitkat, root it, install twrp, install already rooted 5.0 rom.
Thanks YaDr !
Could you point out how to downgrade in a fail safe way ?
Is that the thread i'm looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089 ?
Can someone confirm this is OK with V20c-208-10 ?
thx
Its safe to just flash a kdz for kk
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA Free mobile app
I tried to downgrade to kk usin LG PC suite 'restore updates errors' menu, but without luck.
First time it ran it gave me an error, asking to unplug and remove the battery, then it completed, but I'm still stuck on 5.0 with V20C. (ran it again after that, no error, but no changes neither)
Any tips on how to downgrade ?
I flashed a kdz, purpledrake, twrp, then flashed androidnow hd 7.1.
Worked great, thanks for the help guys!
Hello
So after foolishly updating to Marshmellow and discovering that all my apps no longer update in the background, i flashed my device to the LG G4 V10D-226-01 software version, the 10D Europe Open from the LG g4 "Go back to stock rom" thread.
Problem is, everytime i open my phone i get "Warning: Current version is not available for user. Cant find matched cust for Nt-code mcc/mnc[22601],subset[ff]. I have looked both on google and here and everything i found was for the G3 model and it involved using a "custom restore" image. but no explanation on how to use it, its not a KDZ so i cant flash it.
I'm pretty new to all this and everything i wanted was to go back to my Lollipop variant after seeing how Marshmellow behaved on my phone. (not auto updating my background apps).
I appreciate any help you guys provide.
Thanks
u cant downgrade once u go to Marshmallow. Its a security thing tht was updated in the latest firmware b4 Marshmallow came out. Ur gona hav to start all over again wth the latest KDZ b4 Marshmallow
I reformated into a Lollipop KDZ by flashing my ROM from the "Go back to stock" thread. Problem has appeared after i did that. I am currently on Lolipop v10D
nobody has any idea on how i can solve this issue?

download the kdz file for your device from here and flash it using LG UP here. all will be fine. i downgraded from MM to LP after MM had big battery drain. many people have downgraded using this method.

Hello guys,
I have a LG G3 d855 EUR (i live in Italy) stock firmware V30c-EUR-XX, no root, no custom rom.
Since i'm pretty new to Android modding, i want to ask for your help because i would install the best custom rom available for my device.
So, which is the best rom? Can i have a step by step tutorial for rooting my device and installing the rom?
I would like to maintain the stock camera quality, i've heard that custom roms may decrease the overall photos quality.
Thanks in advance, i really appreciate your help. :good:

Hello, since this is General.. Question shouldn't post here but anyway, have you heard Fulmics? It is developed by xpirt and will transform your G3 to G5..
You can use that ROM because it is the most reliable ROM i'll ever use on my G3.. Don't worry about the camera quality since it is stock based ROM, you won't lose anything..
Please note that my G3 is korean variant ( F400L ) and not international ( D855 ).. So my choices is a bit limited here.. Don't worry tho because Fulmics support most variant of G3's..
Let's Start!
How to root? First you need to go back to Lollipop, How? If Sony, there is Flashtool but with LG, we can use LGUP and flash the stock kdz/tot there.. Please download the right kdz for your device btw..
And there is many ways to root such as Kingroot or OneClick..
Note that, if you're using Kingroot.. Don't mind about their bloatware because we're going to update to Marshmallow anyway..
After it is done, you need to install TWRP.. You're so lucky because there are many way to install TWRP and the most easiest way is using AutoRec
( BEWARE, IF YOU INSTALLED THE WRONG VARIANT FOR YOUR DEVICES..THIS MAY LEAD TO HARD BRICK! )
AutoRec can be downloaded from Playstore, you need to find the right one for example.. You got D855, so you need to download Autorec Lollipop for D855.. Don't install the one for F400 or else, goodbye to your G3 forever.. Yup, easiest way can be the most risky way to go..
While busy with rooting and installing recovery, download the ROM you want.. As example, download the latest Fulmics 6.9 ROM for G3 and transfer it to root directory of your SD Card..
After you have TWRP installed, boot to TWRP.. If you found it is hard to boot to recovery with those stupid combination key.. Just download an apps called ... Boot.... hmm.. whatever it is.. I'll forgot, just find an apps that can help you boot to recovery easily i guess..
If you succeed to boot to recovery, congratulation.. Now do wipe data cache and install the ROM ( Fulmics 6.9 as example ).. After that, reboot the device and enjoy!
Since my G3's is already dead a long time ago ( bluescreen and flicker ), that's all i can help by typing all of this using my G4.. Goodluck!

Are you sure there is no QFUSE which is blown when you downgrade? Because i've read and heard about it. It's dangerous to downgrade, someone got stuck on 5% and had the secure boot error which is an indication of QFUSE.

The downgrade is mandatory for rooting the device, right? Is there a root for Android 6.0 too? :/
I'm a bit confused...

I've done that a lot of time with my G3.. No QFUSE problem here and this is the first time i've heard that.. What is QFUSE?

I am not aware of any root method for V30 based roms but there could very well be.

QFUSE was supposed to be a downgrade protection which triggers when someone flashes in download mode a version of android lower than the current one. I have no idea why, if you access the hidden menu, and find DRM, you find QFUSE there. It was supposed to, like said before, be a fuse which is triggered by a downgrade.
Hello!
I've got a little or maybe a big problem with rooting my LG G3. For now i've got android 6.0 Marshallow installed.
I spent on this whole day and I think i tried every possible way.
I tried stump root(i guess it only works for kitkat) , purpledrake root, kingroot..
Moreover I tried to downgrade to android 5.0 but my device is "unknown" for LG UP. Also, I tried LG Lash tool but it returned an error too.
Do you guys know any other way to root this device? Thanks in advance ;c
I got the same problem.
Hi! Sorry that I'm responding so late. I found that i had the problem with downgrading becouse of wrong LGUP zip.
I found correct one here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81kb6fqHxUo&list=LLF_c9VT9RRrxMaH_s9qwFWQ&index=1&t=283s in video description.
Now with LP installed root should be possible.
Good evening, first of all you have to apologize for my English. I am translating with the translator.
For a couple of years I have been using my g4 with nougat without ever having problems. unfortunately now both the camera and the flash no longer work. I have already tried to do a factory reset, but I have not solved it.
A colleague of mine had installed me Nougat stock on LG g4 H815 without root. Now I can't help myself anymore. I ask the courtesy if anyone can help me so that I can use the phone again. I would like to point out that I use a pc with xubuntu and I am not an expert. Thanks in advance
