LG G3 problem lollipop update - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello friends I bought my lg g3 from china and he arrived with the KitKat 4.4.2.
I tried to update the g3 to lollipop 5.0 so I checked the setting>About phone and "checking for updates" ins't listed there.
The "update center" app is not even installed on the phone.
I tried the LG PC Suite and the LG support tool and they wrote " The phone has the latest version "...
I checked the IMEI and my phone supposed to have the latest lollipop version - V21 .
what can i do?
Many thanks in advence!!.

Ok good. Your phone isnt a clone.
Type your IMEI into here http://lg-firmware-rom.com/ and download the file that it provides
Then flash the file using LG Flash Tool and you should be on your way

Read again... i tried to flash the rom through flash tool but i have problem with the driver in download mod... the pc wont recognize the phone at all... tried everything from canging cable through changing usb port and downloading every available driver in 2 diffrent computers(windows 7/windows 10) what else can i do?

You could try to go back to stock following one of the methods posted in this forum and after that, you can accept the OTA. Look for the "LG Flashtool 2014" thread or the one that says something like "how to unroot using pc suite".

It dependes on the update you are getting, I think that it won't always work as before, without you having issues with root.
As far as I've read, if you do a "normal flash" option using the flashtool 2014, you won't lose your data but you will lose root.

It doesn't matter what your phone's imei is, all you need is to download the correct kdz files for your phone model. Try looking for a kdz for D855 instead of the imei. All you need is to flash the correct file for your phone model. You will never go wrong.

HomTom HT3: firmware update, root

Posting this because there seems to be no information on this device not in Russian.
Bought a HomTom HT3 (non-Pro). Came with firmware 1.0.1, and no OTA update available (seems HomTom's server has been down for some time, and their website is no help). 1.0.1 firmware doesn't seem rootable by any method I tried (not an experiences Android hacker, or even user).
Using SP Flash Tool (MediaTek flash tool) it's possible to flash official 2.0.8 firmware (latest, near as I can tell). I'd post a direct link to the firmware on Google Drive, but new user restrictions. You can Google: "M20_HT3_V2.0.8_user_20160419-14_29_27.zip"
In my case it was necessary to install the MediaTek VCOM drivers as well.
With 2.0.8 installed, rooting is as simple as installing and running KingRoot. Hope this helps someone.
p.s. it seems the Russians have CM and other customs ROMS for this phone.
You can Google: "M20_HT3_V2.0.8_user_20160419-14_29_27.zip"

I have exactly the same problem that u described.
But unfortunately the file was deleted from Google drive and I am screwed unless u can maybe send it to me or upload it and send me the link? I would appreciate a lot!! Really man, I am going crazy here x(
Unfortunately don't have. I'd suggest scouring HomTom's facebook page, including through user posts, for firmware links.
Damn, but thanks for your advice.
Btw do u have a recovery that works for this version?
I have problem with Homtom HT3 PRO version. After using SP Flash Tool to upgrade official ROM phone starting with broken picture. What I can do?

How to find out which rom to flash on my D855

I had purchased a supposedly international unlocked LG g3 D855 32gb from eBay. Currently I am running kitkat 4.4.2 rooted rom which came pre-installed on the phone and it's rooted. There is no update center on my phone
Now I want to update it to lollipop or may be marshmallow but the problem is that I can't find which version of rom to flash as there are lots of D855 models in market there is European version, Korean version, Hong Kong version, Indian version. There is no clear indication on the box or on the phone abt the version is there any sure shot way of knowing what rom should I flash as I can't take risk of hard / soft bricking the phone. I am attaching screen shot of software version.
Please help

Hi
Download the app LGPhone From from play store, run it and one of the entries under serial no. will give a series of letters which denote area and carrier. E.g AGBRVK which is Virgin UK. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply
Downloaded "LG phone from" and "LG phone info" and it says original : FAIL
what does it mean
Sent from my Lenovo K50a40 using Tapatalk
Beneath the battery it's written MADE IN KOREA.
I m not really sure.. If its true or not
Sent from my Lenovo K50a40 using Tapatalk
If it is an original LG D855 the first entry should read OK, and then should list serial numbers and IME. Possibly your phone is a fake. I don't know as I have never seen one.

[Urgent] Need help restoring G3 (D855) to stock (Stuck in Download mode)

Hi,
I am a complete newbie when it comes to this so please explain in simple terms.
So I will explain as briefly as possible:
- I have Windows 10 x64
- Bought LG G3 last week, it had Android 4.4.2 (and was already rooted)
- It had overheating issues and battery died fast so I tried to update Android via LG PC Suite -> Did NOT work
- I read that having root access blocked it, but that I could update manually
- I installed USB drivers
- I setup ADB and Fastboot
- I tried using LG Flash Tool 2014 and the Android 6.0 KDZ but it did NOT work (always said there was connection error)
- I tried using lgg3rootdotcom's method to reset the phone back to STOCK ROM without root and followed their instructions to the letter (set COM to 41 etc)
- I did everything, but then it keeps coming up with an error on LG Flash Tool (at 6%)
- It repeats "LAF : Bin_User_Mode" three (3) times whereas in the instructional video it only showed ""LAF : Bin_User_Mode" once (1)
- Then "[ERROR] : Partition Change factory Partition (Phone!=tot)"
(I want to share images but I can't because I am a new member with restrictions, I will post images later today)
- I downloaded the .tot and .dll from lgg3rootcom's website
- I tried D855 Europe, Hongkong, and Taiwan .tot but NONE worked
- Now my phone ONLY boots into Download mode :crying:
- I cannot get into Recovery mode or Normal boot...
- I REALLY just want to get it back to stock right now... Please HELP!
Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
I used exact instructions from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2772199
But it ERROR appears at 6% with "[ERROR] : Partition Change factory Partition (Phone!=tot)"
Also, please ask any questions if you want to know more so you can help me..
