Hi all.
I'd like to backup my G4 rom so I can flash back to it incase I don't like MM
The G4 I have is on EE UK (still on 5.1) and I can't seem to find the kdz on the Internet to download this specific one.
Is there anyway I can backup the rom so I can flash back to it at a later date?
I'm not talking about backing up data using lg bridge, just the rom
Thanks.
Try here
thanks, but the firmware is not on that site and ive also looked on http://devtester.ro and the 2 listed for UK EE are not the same as the one on my G4 has my G4 has WIFI/HD Calling option and these roms do not.

Guys, i have a lg g3 d855 with german vodafone brabranding(bootul animation, vodafone apps) and then i downbraded and rooted to install androidnow hd. It removed all brandings and apps of my carrier. After time, i decided to unroot my device via kdz for warranty. So i did thag and kt worked well. I also used the kdz which is for my imei. But my branding and all the apps arent there anymore. Anyone know how do i get full stock like the day i bought it?

You must install an official update by using LG PC SUITE to come back branding. Try flashing a kdz of previous release and then update with pc suite.

I don't think you can, but, if you download the kdz from a trusted place, you are actually back to stock without "china apps".
You can download the kdz here: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/
but be sure to flash the good one

Hey, friends. How are you all? I have lg g3 d855 (16GB and 2 GB version) in Pakistan. Software version is v20h-Global-SI.
LG PC Suit says that I have new update but due to low internet speed it takes forever to download new version of software which is D85520L.
I installed an app "Lg Phone From" from play store. It also shows new firmware available to download for my LG G3 is "D85520L-00.KDZ". I have downloaded this file.
I want to know a few questions.
Is the file Downloaded from "Lg Phone From" correct? I don't want to brick my phone.
Will I still be able to get OTA or update with LG PC suit after flashing KDZ?
Sorry for these stupid questions. This is my first LG smartphone. Due to alot of variants I am confused. Please guide me in this regard. I will try to explore forum for more help. But your answers can save my time. Thanks
Yes it is the correct file for you and you will still get ota updates.Basically you can flash any kdz from different regions that are for d855.
E.g i was using v20u which was for U.K but my phone was from australia(optus network) and was working fine.Now i'm using a custom rom based on stock.
Aslam O Alaikum Umari bhai.
Thanks for help.. JazakAllah.
Hi,
I purchased the phone in the UK from the network carrier Vodafone. I have done a fair bit of research on the rooting and unrooting process mainly via videos and reading tutorials on XDA.
I would like to root the phone and gain super user access and install some Xposed modules but would also like to be able to unroot and flash back to a stock Vodafone firmware encase I need to claim under warranty. I have been trolling the internet to get the correct KDZ file and found this site (ttp://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/country.php?country=United+Kingdom). I believe that the correct firmware may be on here but am a little confused on what the suffix and software version means to be honest.
The reason for my confusion is that I updated the firmware to 6.0 Marshmallow through the LG bridge but when I now check my phones software version it states v20b-234-15. I assume this is right but from memory the first software version when I got the phone was something like H81510B_00.
I cant remember exactly what it was before unfortunately but the KDZ files I have found state H81510C_00 (Suffix - AVDFVK) and H81510C_00 (AVDFLR) and this does seem to make sense but I'm thinking it was B instead of C but and not 100% on that.
Do you think these KDZ files would be the correct one to flash back to encase I run in to some problems rooting?
I am also assuming that this KDZ is Android Lollipop and not Marshmallow so is it OK to use this to revert back from Marshmallow?
Thanks and any help would be much appreciated.

The 10X version are all Lollipop, 20X is marshmallow.
When flashing a KDZ on your phone, what's important is what model your phone is. H815 in your case.
If you want to restore to stock in case something goes wrong, you can find everything here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848
In there is a link to this directory: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G4/ where you find pretty much all KDZ files for G4 phones.
I'm not that experienced myself, but I rooted my phone just recently and I can share my experience with you.
I have a H815. It was a V10c-TWN-XX version (Taiwan). I updated to Marshmallow with LG Bridge also and the new software version was V20b-TWN-XX.
Marshmallow rooting is not possible on my phone because I can't unlock the bootloader on it. And Marshmallow rooting is only possible with an unlocked bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader is only possible on European phones (http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryTypeCode=ANRS). I asked autoprime (renown user and developer here) if I can unlock bootloader after flashing an European KDZ on it. He said no, having European software on it is not enough, it has to be a phone manufactured for the european market. Dont know why, guess because of different hardware.
So, not being able to root MM, I had to revert back to stock (downgrade) using one of the KDZs.
I chose the most recent one in the directory I linked (which is the Poland H81510E). In the "Go Back to Stock" thread I linked the OP says to use LG Flash Tool 2014, which unfortunately doesn't work with Marshmallow. But fret not, it works with LG UP! http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
When I tried flashing the KDZ with Flash Tool 2014, the process failed with an error at 5%. It worked flawlessly with LG UP. Here's more information regarding downgrading, but it really isnt hard. Just download + install LG UP. Launch it. Connect your phone. Choose KDZ file. Select option "upgrade". Hit start.
NOTE: after the firmware update was done, the phone rebooted automatically and for me it stuck at at the LG Logo (bootloop). But a simple hard factory reset did it, the phone booted and my new version was 10e-something. With Lollipop 5.1 of course.
After that, I rooted my phone using this pre-rooted image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/h815-eu-l-p-t-sea-twn-t3176195
and this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/...-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765/
I now have a "H81510e-EUR-XX" Lollipop 5.1 with root (SuperSU 2.49).
I don't really know about Vodafone and if carrier specific firmware is necessary in this case. If not, you could use any 815 firmware.
From the site you have linked with the KDZ files..... it seems they are all the same.
If you check the table for H815 KDZs from Vodafone, there are some 10C and 10D versions. Now I compared the fileKey parameter in the URL to the 10C files and the 10D files and also the bytes of the files.
All the 10C version are identical to each other, same for 10D.
Check out this screenshot I made for you: http://i.imgur.com/Ie0w4us.png
Bytes are also identical, so it's pretty safe to say those are the same files.
Dont know why they are listed several times there. The suffix doesnt matter.
I'd grab a 10D if I were you. But I think the Poland 10E should work, too. Better confirm it with somebody else though.
If you flash your system to 10e, you can use the pre-rooted image I used. Otherwise you will have to inject root yourself: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586. In this method you create an image of your system and inject root into the image, which you then flash back on your phone.
Hi.
I purchased a second hand LG G3 quite a few months back, only to find out after trying to update that my version was the D858HK, which does not seem to have any official way to update past KitKat on the phone. After some digging around, I did find some methods, like flashing the KDz file. However, none of the KDz files I've found on the internet seem to match the model of my phone, which is D858HK10d, or v10d.
I was wondering if there is any other way to get rid of KitKat and move on to the newer versions.
It is rooted.
Thanks in advance, XDA Forums. You guy's do the Android God's work.

Did you try LG PC Suite?
Also here is the Marshmallow kdz file.(The first one)

LG PC Suite doesn't recognize the phone. And the kdz files there dont include the model of my phone, which is a D858HK10d.
Where are you getting the model #? The 10d part may refer to the ROM as 20x would be LP, and 30x would be MM.

10d is the Software Version of Android KitKat..
Your device is D858HK.
So you can proceed installing that kdz file.
