Hello Guys
I am been using Xperia Z Ultra LTE for past 2 years. I recently purchased Tmobile G3 D851 which I noticed is the best value in its class. I LOVE the screen!
I downgraded from 5.0.2 > 4.4.2 so I could root & install TRWP.
My question: which FW should I be looking at if i want 5.1.1. and have stock LG software (knock, tapwake,LG health) and no other junk installed?
and I assume I can easily flash the 5.1.1 zip by using TRWP?
Appreciate your advice
Yes, you can flash any 5.1.1 based ROM using TWRP. You didn't have to downgrade to 4.4.2 to root and install TWRP. Since you were running LP, you could have followed the second method in this thread to root...

me too. i tried many times & searched for it but couldn't find anything. i appreciate if developer are working on our device (LG G3 32gb "D855") running lollipop 5.0
i need to root ASAP
Someone tested to do this ->
4.4.2 Kitkat (rooted and with TWRP recovery)
Flash Lollipop rom via TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/stock-t2961073
Flash root (supersu.zip) via TWRP
Install flashify - flash Lollipop stock recovery - flash stock Lollipop bootloader.
First of all, I am new to rooting. I just want to get that out of the way -- I am still learning the ropes.
Anyway, I have VS985 (Verizon) LG G3 and it is running Stock Lollipop 5.0.1. I recently rooted the device.
I am interested in installing TWRP, because I would like to try some custom ROMs (CyanogenMod in particular). However, I have not been able to install TWRP on my device. Also, I have not been able to find a working tutorial for my particular LG G3.
A short tutorial that will help me install TWRP / CyanogenMod on my G3 would be much appreciated.

Greetings guys.
I am using Hong Kong version LG G3 D855 (32GB), with Android 4.4.2 (v10n-HKG-XX).
Recently want to clean my phone and re-flash stock ROM, and I noticed Android 6.0 is out.
I downloaded D855's "v30a" firmware here：http://lg-phone-firmware.com/firmware-Lg+G3-Tutti-41.html
And searched for root method around, but looks like there are no root method available, kingroot may be working but not sure.
Is my understanding correct?
If D855's Android 6.0 is still not rootable, then I will not flash 6.0 and I will flash 5.0. Please advise, thanks in advance!
Some people report that the kingroot method works but also some of them had issues after the process. Personally I don't trust this method that's why I'm still unrooted on 6.0.
The other thing you can do is flash a pre-rooted 6.0 rom on a previous android version.

I recently upgraded my LG G3 D855 6.0 V30n
please help me that how I can root my phone, I tried using kingroot and towel root, but no luck, is there any alternate method available for android 6.0 V30n ?
No way to root other than installing a v30n-based custom as of now.

I got upgraded to 30n and the best solution i used was to DOWNgrade with the lg flash tool to 30b then do all the process
