LG G3 - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Everyone !
I have a question which really interests me. I have stock rom installed on my LG G3 D855. Oversharpening of the screen annoys me. I have decided to root and install that overshapening fix. By doing this I will change kernel of my LG G3. The question is will I be able to receive any official software update from LG after rooting and changing kernel ?
Thank you for your patience you took to answer me !

no, if you change the kernel you don't be able to receive OTA updates, but you can install it over KDZ Flasher...

Hi, You don't need to receive the updates. The custom ROMs based on the stock firmware are way better and they are updated soon after the new stock firmware is out.

By rooting and installing the oversharpening fix, you must have installed TWRP, which means that you are no longer on stock recovery. Do not take any OTA or you may risk bricking your phone. Manually flashing is really your only option at this point. You can flash official firmware, which is available here, but you cannot update using OTA.

Is there any difference between flashing kdz and receiving OTA update. I mean are they (kdz file and received update ) different or completely same ?

OTA is over the air update, its via 3G or wifi, directly from LG servers, if you change the kernel, the servers or the update center dont know what version you have and dont detect your device or better saying dont know what phone you have!
Flashing in KDZ is completly different, because you need to use a PC to download the firmware, need to use a USB cable to connect your device in PC and use KDZ flash tool to flash the firmware on your LG G3...
anyway, i belive the 2nd option is better because sometimes the newest firmware dont be avaiable in update center when its leaked (of course it depends of your contry and etc) and you can download it on PC and put it on your G3 as soon as possible!

Thank you for detailed information. My question was actually about the files. Kdz file and received update. Are they the same ? Let me explain. Say I have 2 LG G3 D 855 smartphones. I receive OTA update 20I to first one and flash kdz 20I to second one. Will they be the same or different. Apps , tweaks , quick settings .etc ?

[Q] D857 and GApps - Root and Custom Recovery - SOLVED

PLEASE CHECK POST #2
Users wanting GApps permanently with a stock firmware, please follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/guide-d857-to-d858hk-g3-dual-sim-google-t2906602
Hello everyone,
I just installed GApps on my D857 after rooting it and installing a custom recovery.
But now I am constantly getting a Google Play Services error, sometimes .acore as well. Tried to remove the account, clearing the cache, clearing google apps data, but I'm still getting the error messages.
Any ideas?? Does anybody know if I can flash D858HK firmware in my D857 and if it contains the google apps??
BTW, I installed the FULL modular package from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
Thanks.
Solved. Install and root with StumpRoot, the install immediately SuperSu, set it up, and install it in /system (under its settings).
Install this recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/lg-g3-f400-recovery-6-0-4-9-t2825865
WARNING: you can use it only once! When rebooting it will ask you to protect and mantain the custom recovery, answer NO, otherwise your original recovery will be deleted and the custom recovery won't be bootable anymore since it's not for the D857! If you want to use it, you have to install it again. Don't keep the recovery, but keep the root!
In the custom recovery install the CM11 GApps:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
All other GApps won't work properly.
Tested with D857 v10b original firmware.
WARNING: DO NOT UPGRADE TO v10c, you will loose root, and so far it's impossible to obtain with any tool out there!
To go back to stock simply use LGMobile Support Tool, starting from firmware v10b it will download and install the kdz for you (v10a was NOT available).
I followed your directions and got it to work so thanks!
However, StumpRoot doesn't work on D857 v10b firmware, so I had to flash back to v10a stock first, then root and was able to get Google Services working.
But now the LG OTA firmware updates are not working because it detects a rooted device. Do you know how to get OTA updates to install? If I flash the v10b ROM to unroot I'm sure OTA update will work but then lose root and lose Google Services. Any ideas?
Dude as I said earlier, I did that procedure on the 10b firmware, so if Stumproot works on mine should work on yours as well!
Please note that before doing all that I updated the phone with the LG tool and did a factory reset.
Cheers.
BTW: does anybody know if the D858HK firmware contains the GApps? Apparently the firmwares are switchable!
[Q] D857 and GApps - Root and Custom Rec - SOLVED
Hi! I order D857 in Australia.
they assured me that he had the 800mhz frequency ... can you confirm? And do you know what's difference between D857 and D858? thank you
Maybe has something to do with the update. I updated from v10a to v10b and the Stumproot failed multiple times. Also found on various Chinese forums that Stumproot doesn't work on v10a. It sounds like you flashed a full TOT or KDZ v10b firmware and the root worked. I couldn't get it to work on the OTA v10b update.
So I guess you don't know if OTA updates work because v10b is the latest firmware?
D858HK does contain GApps (confirmed by Chinese forums) and I would also prefer to use this firmware. There are several Chinese forums where you can find D858HK and I tried several times to flash it using TOT method but it just wouldn't work. If you can find the KDZ of D858HK to flash with LGTools that might be possible but haven't found it yet.

not for now I do not know anything because I still have not received the phone. I ordered it on an Australian site that makes it even come from HongKong. Here is the link : http://cameraparadise.com/LG-G3-Dua...ed-+-1-Year-Door-to-Door-Warranty)-49222.html

D857 has these bands FDD-LTE(B1,B3,B7),TDD-LTE(B38,B39,B40,B41),WCDMA(B1,B2,B5,B8),TD-SCDMA(B34,B39),GSM(B2,B3,B5,B8)
GSM B5 is the 850MHz band
D857 is dual-SIM China International version (FDD-LTE/TD-LTE/WCDMA/TD-SCDMA/GSM)
D858 is dual-SIM China Mobile version (TD-LTE/TD-SCDMA/GSM) so it should only work on China Mobile's 4G/3G network
you want the D857. Also note that all these dual-SIM versions have one 2G SIM slot and one 4G/3G/2G SIM slot. You cannot have two 3G/4G running on the phone at the same time.

If you use LG support tools, simply choose fix firmware install or something like that, it will simply download and flash a full kdz of v10b on the phone. Do a factory reset after that.
I don't want to flash a TOT, I'm still looking for a full kdz of the 858HK! I'll let you know if I find it!

My questions is: if you flash v10b, root and install GApps, thereafter will OTA firmware updates work? Because right now, the firmware updates detect a rooted device and fail to update. It seems like that for D857 the only way to update the firmware is to download the KDZ and flash it every time a new one is released.
So getting the D858HK is really key, because if it can be flashed on D857 it already has Google Services, and OTA updates work for future updates...
Sorry but what's the kdz?

You're right: OTA won't work when rooted. It's actually a pain reinstalling the firmware every time, but at least you get a clean install...
That's why I'm looking like crazy for the 858HK kdz, unfortunately I don't speak Chinese and those forums are quite messy!
Do you know if the 858HK firmware is customized in any way by China Mobile??

By the way, the 858 gets way more updates than the 857, another reason to find that bloody kdz!!
v10c is out for 857:

I read in some Chinese forums that the D857 and D858HK firmwares are interchangeable but again I wasn't able to flash the D858HK. I tried with TOT and it just failed. So it is possible that D858HK is different from D857 firmware. I think there may be some modification need to make to the firmware for it to install on D857.
I too am still looking for a D858HK that works on D857...

Just updated with LG Support Tool. Unfortunately Stump doesn't work, IOroot doesn't work, nor does PurpleDrake.
I'm sick of this.
Do not update 'till I find a good working method!
Do you see my link above ? Do you think it's possible for the 800mhz ?
I'm also trying to figure out how to install D858HK stock rom on my D857 32GB.
Found on chinese forums, it seems that it's necessary to change the model number in build.prop to match D858HK model to be able to install it. Have anyone tried that?
Does anyone know where to get the D858HK firmware?

new to lg g3 questions

hi guys im new to the lg g3 (well any lg phone) just a couple of questions
from what ive read there isnt many roms due to the locked bootloader will the bootloader be unlocked in the future?
i have the D855 uk vodafone model is they a working TWRP or CWR for the g3?
ive rooted so does this mean i can at least remove some bloteware?
thanks guys sorry for questions :victory:

Probably yes, if the @thecubed and others beat the protection (last post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...3-vs98510b-t2890349/post55729952#post55729952)

There is only Tethered version and I would not recommend to use it. It's for advanced users only and it's not a "real" recovery. More on http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/recovery-twrp-2-7-1-3-t2831668

Yes, you can... , or freeze it. If you will the cause softbrick, use LG Flash Tool 2014 and flash in NORMAL mode latest stock ROM you used or use LG PC Suite. After this you need to re-root it. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-unroot-ota-using-lg-pc-suite-pc-t2802286)

thanks for the replys if the bootloader doesnt get unlocked then thats going to destroy the g3 for development isnt it

Not sure I understand you question, but if you mean, whether you will be able to update the phone via OTA in the future, it depends.
If not or if it will not work, unroot your phone, install OTA and the re-root and you should be fine.
But still - all of that is already described in dedicated threads, don't be afraid to take a look around. :fingers-crossed:
As for the development - I guess when it will not get unlocked, it will be from my perspective one of the most wasted money on Android phone for many.

lol sorry what i ment is im on a vodafone branded firmware now and i wanted to flash a unbranded latest uk stock rom so it will be first to get OTA as branded firmwares can be a bit behind is it possible?
thanks again:good:
I don't think so, but someone else should confirm it.
Eg. you can download FW based on IMEI (http://lg-firmware-rom.com/download-firmware.php?f=YOUR_IMEI_HERE), not based on whether it's branded or not.
But still you have option to use the tools like LG Flash Tool 2014 and simply flash latest firmware you want (for your variant)

I know its confusing but you can only flash TOT files with that tool - if you get your FW via the imei cause its a KDZ, for KDZ flashing you need to use this tool...

[Q] [HELP] Unrooting LG G3 V10l

Hi guys i'm new to all this soo here is what i did.
I recently rooted my lg g3 V10l-EUR-XX and now i want to unroot it ... but the problem is that i found only the kdz file without the dll file ...
Can you please help me find it or if it's possible to downgrade it from v10l ? Sorry if i said something strange or impossible but i'm a complete newbie with the roots and stuff
If you download the LG PC Suite and click on "Restore Upgrade errors" it should reflash the current version, but i'm not sure as it might download the latest which is lollipop.
You could also flash your KDZ file using the LG Flash Tool. Without the need for a DLL file.

In fact i have one more question ... probably a silly one but still. When the LG was still rooted i got an update for v20e i think but i didn't install it because i assumed that it will be bad and it will ''brick'' my phone ... and now when it's stock i don't have that update. What should i do or it is just a matter of time the update to show up ?

Since you device in now unrooted there will be no problem in updating. The update may show up some time, but you can always flash it if you want to.

Help, I rooted my phone and I get a warning everytime i open it

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?

Marshmallow

Hello guys
i want your helP guys, i have a rooted stock lolliPoP on my D855 and i want to uPgrade it to marshmellow, so how can i unroot my Phone
because i have read many articles and some guys had a lot of issues when they tried to unroot their devices.
by the way, i have tried to unroot using the "suPerSU" but i didnt work
so is it necessary to install a fresh stock rom for unrooting!
thanks
Marshmallow isn't out yet. Only the source code which is useless for users.

but for my Phone it gives that there is a software uPdate and started to download it and it was about 300MB, so is that what you are saying that it is just a source code!

the software update you're seeing might be v21a which is still lollipop, not marshmallow
source code is a bunch of code for developers to use while the official rom is a kdz file released from LG that can be flashed, or OTA from LG.
EDIT: also, if marshmallow update is here it would be v30a or something like that

If you received an update it was probably 20A like mentioned or a Lollipop update. Source code isn't used update over the air. Its for developers.
When you get Marshmallow update, Im assuming will be bigger than 300mb and it will mention what kind of update it is (stating Marsmhallow).
THANKS A LOT GUYS, YOU WERE ALL RIGHT, IT WAS JUST AN UPDATE FOR THE LOLLIPOP, 21A, AND BY THE WAY FOR THE COMING UPDATE IF ANYONE WANTS TO GET THE OTA UPDATE AND HE HAS ROOTED HIS PHONE HE CAN EASILY FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING STEPS
1. Download LG PC Suite from LG's website - you must select model type before you do so, but as far as I can tell it downloads the same version regardless.
2. Update the app so it recognises the G3 - this should ask you to update automatically on opening the app, if not you can do it from the "help" menu.
(NB: if you have used some of the KDZ flashing methods on here you may have issues updating as your hosts file is probably altered to block the PC Suite gaining a connection).
3. Connect the phone via USB (the app allows for a wifi connection but this is very restrictive, you require a USB connection for this).
*OPTIONAL STEP* If you want to go back to a truly stock experience then unfreeze any apps you have frozen (I am unsure if having apps frozen will effect OTA installations, it should still work fine, in theory).
4. With the device connected go to the "phone" menu in PC Suite and select the option that says "Restore Upgrade Errors".
5. It will then scan your device, download the rom and begin flashing, this is all automatic without any further input from you, do not cancel it.
6. The phone will reboot when finished. You are now unrooted and unmodified and OTA's should work.
*OPTIONAL STEP* If you want to go back to 100% stock then its probably a good idea to factory reset your phone at this point - this will wipe your whole device (of course).
And there you have it, your quick(ish), painless method for being able to unroot to accept OTA's without requiring a wipe.
