Cannot upgrade to V10i via OTA...

So everytime I check for update it says "Your phone is not registered yet." I unrooted and reflashed (Normal flash) v10g but I still get the same thing...
Should I download the whole v10i .KDZ or is there some kind of solution to this?
I read somewhere that this problem occurs when you flash with your SIM card in, but I flashed without SIM this time...
(I prefer download the whole .kdz than making a hard reset etc... lol)

What model do you have? D855, D850,D851,F400S/K/L,F460S/K/L? Flashing an updated kdz should be fine but I would double check

if you have a d855 download the kdz and flash it, it will not harm your device if done correctly

I eventually flashed the v10i, I was searching for a more hassle free solution (ie, try to get the OTA to work again) but I had time to download that huge file and flash it LOL. However the OTA still doesn't work! :\

IF you are rooted it won't work because the roottriger is set of, if you doon't get the update try searching manually (in the update app) if that doesn't work use the imei kdz methode(use the search button) , if all those fail you probably didn't got the update

I did try unrooting and flashing the stock rom again! (as I mentioned in OP) but even after this I still couldn't get an OTA update (and if I tap check update it says "Phone is not registered Yet" I did the IMEI stuff to update since it was the only way lol...
But I don't understand why is my OTA update button broken :/ (even after a reflash and unrooting, but not by a factory reset.)
My brother has the exact same G3, rooted and has Xposed framework, busybox etc but he got the OTA update and updated successfully!

I bought a similar refurbished phone from Aliexpress and the system information is the same as yours. I think they just messed with the build.prop so the build information looks ready for Europe. I will advise you to install the kdz so you have the Stock ROM and firmware. That was what I did anyway. The only porblem is that you will get some Korean apps but the phone is stable anyway. And when flashing, use "CSC" not "Normal" flash.
By the way, my phone was lagging very much before I installed the Stock ROM.

I'm also interested in this answer. The only reason I haven't updated to (any ART) rom is because I'm unsure if I can just restore a Dalvik backup without issues. The only way I would attempt is with TWRP.

i tried doing by Flash tool and it gives error like 0000008

bring up the post!

Curious as well. I'd like to get root.

Windows user not sure how to do it on Mac/Linux
by MM to KK I assume you want to take the LG G3 D851 from android 6.x down to 4.x
here goes...
----
http://lgg3root.com/lg-g3-stock-factory-firmware/
http://lgg3root.com/lg-g3-root/how-to-unrootunbrick-lg-g3/
use the LG Flash tool plus the two files, follow instructions on that second link step by step.
LGD851_20140611_LGFLASHv160.dll
LGD851AT-01-V10c-310-260-JUN-20-2014+0.tot
That takes you back to the 4.x kitkat stock ROM, not rooted or anything.
----------------
To go north from there back towards Lollipop or MM you can at this point use
http://www.download3k.com/Install-LG-Mobile-Support-Tool.html
B2CAppSetup.exe
Install it, will put an icon on your desktop, plug in your phone, open the app.
It's pretty much automatic, it updates the ROM from KK to Lolli, then if you hit "OK" it will update from Lolli to MM
- I just got both of these steps to work in the last 24 hours.
I'm still trying to find a valid "Root" method that doesn't ask me to install a funky ROM.

I went from a KK stock-rooted(TWRP 3.0) rom to the MM 6.0 Rom, realized I didn't really want to set everything up again, restored my KK backup. Only problem was I had to reflash the modem. That was a couple of days ago and the modem was the only issue.
I'm unsure about flashing a new/clean KK rom over a MM rom though.
KK Modem (D85110r) - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95832962473396848

I think I missed a step, in KitKat this phone needs a special command thrown at it so the memory cards will be read/write.
On the play store SDFix: KitKat Writeable MicroSD
I think that might be what I was missing last weekend. My phone is currently on MM but I can't root it with any method other than Kingroot and Kingroot is Bad News.

Yes. It's possible!.

Modem not working after going back to MM?

Hey,
I'm on 6.0 and i cannot seem to get the modem to work on my phone.
Is it because i was on rooted 5.1 before that, and root loses modem?
But i upgraded to 6.0 and that loses root, but mobile data still doesn't work.
Does anyone have a fix for this?

You haven't provided very much information.
I'm presuming you used LGUP-NEW and upgraded straight to 6.0 without first refurbishing with a stock 5.1 (i.e., an unrooted stock version for your specific country/carrier), before upgrading to 6.0? If so, that may be where the problem arose.
You could try a factory reset with what you have installed - not sure it will solve, but worth a try.
The next thing I would suggest is refurbishing with the appropriate stock 5.1 for your country/carrier - confirm that the modem and mobile data is working before then upgrading with the appropriate 6.0 stock kdz.

IIRC I used the refurbish option when I went to 5.1, then rooted, then got rid of root before upgrading to 6.0, which is where I'm at today.

That's what I suspected.
Unfortunately, when you have used the root injection method on an H812, the interaction with SuperSU is not straightforward nor fully understood (refer to the thread at https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/reverse-engineering-lg-g4-root-t3628778 where steadfaster X, ReeS86 and I explored this issue in part). If you re-read the root injection thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586), you will note that the suggested way to lose root is to refurbish first with the stock 5.1 kdz you used in the first place with LGUP-NEW, then upgrade to 6.0 with it.
Back up your data fully and using LGUP-NEW, refurbish with the 5.1 stock KDZ you used in the first place and see if you regain your modem and mobile data - if you do, then upgrade to 6.0.

Ah, gotcha. Will try when I have time.
EDIT: Mobile data still doesn't seem to be working on 5.1... even after refurbishing with kdz

The first thing to do is:
Go into settings and check your baseband version. If it's unknown thats likely the reason for your issues and normally can be solved by wiping the modemst1 and modemst2 partitions.
Then please explain exactly what is working and what not. You say your "modem" is not working but this is not much information:
Do you have an issue to get cell service?
Do you have an issue to get mobile data/internet?
Do you have an issue to get specific mobile data/internet speeds(i.e. LTE, 3G,...)?

Ok good. So this seems to be an apn issue then. The modem works fine when you get cell service and if you can call and the other site can hear you and vice versa.
There is a section in the hidden menu (check http://tinyurl.com/antirollg4 at the top you find the how-to get in) where you can reset the APNs which may help out here.
Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA Labs

You can reset your apn in the H812 by going to Settings > Mobile data > touch on the 3 dot menu at the top right of the screen there > touch on Mobile networks > touch on Access point names > touch on the 3 dot menu at the top right of the screen > touch on Reset to default.
If that doesn't help you could delete and add the appropriate data for Koodo in New APN on the same last menu pop-up screen.

Flashed Groovy Android: SIM1 Issues, Random Reboots, and UI crashes

Zenfone 2 Deluxe Special Edition
Model: Z00A
Before I unlocked, rooted, and flashed my current version, I had Android M - I believe it was Asus firmware version: WW-4.21.40.352
Current version: Groovy Android Android N (7.1.2) - GA-N-v7.1.2-20180612-Z00A-Release.zip
Apparently that was a big mistake and I should have downgraded to Android L before flashing Groovy Android Android N because there's a known issue related to the SIMs not being detected.
I can get my LTE connection to work if I physically remove and reinsert the SIM but that's obviously annoying. And I figured out how to play with the data/SIM settings to get it to register on the data network again but it keeps reverting back to having issues with the X over the LTE symbol and having no data connection.
I just picked Groovy Android because I didn't really know where to start and I wanted Android Nougat. I really want a dark themed Android Nougat but I haven't come across any custom ROMs that have that option. Any suggestions?
For now, I need to go back to Android L so I can flash Groovy Android again without SIM issues.
I downloaded UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.206-user.zip from Asus's website.
Can I simply go into TWRP, go into sideload mode, and then type adb sideload UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.206-user.zip from my PC?
Do I need to wipe any particular partitions before or after?
EDIT:
Oh also one of the reasons I wanted to try a custom ROM is because of all the bluetooth audio issues I was having. Every single ROM I've ever had on this phone, from the one it shipped with, through several OTA and updated firmwares from Asus's website that claim to "fix bluetooth stability", I've always had this issue where the audio just randomly cuts out while connected to my Soundbot SB360 receiver (I've had other devices and phones connected to it without issue). I've seen other people complain about it on Asus's forums with no real resolution.

That does not happen on my device. It's stable except for the crashed pie

I know I need to downgrade to stock Lollipop. So the question is, can I do that from TWRP, and how do I do it?

Did you back up your system partition before flashing Groovy Android?

Either flash the firmware directlyhttps://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/guide-flash-stock-rom-asus-zenfone-2-t3588276, or restore that backup, flash stock MM recovery, lock the bootloader and downgrade by installing the 2.x "update" zip from ASUS's website.

I was reading over this guide yesterday and I'm going to try METHOD 2 using the Asus Flash Tool to flash WW_ZE551ML_2.20.40.206_20170627.raw which is the latest version of Lollipop.
