Do I Have To Update - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi this may sound dumb, and sorry if it is.
I have a LG G3 running 4.4 KitKat when lollipop came out I upgraded but I did not get on with it so I went back to 4.4 and waited for marshmallow, now that's almost here.
"My question is" will I need to upgrade to lollipop and then to marshmallow OR will it just update strate to marshmallow ??????
Many Thanks Paul
It's LG D855 in the UK and not tied to a network.

I think it will require you to OTA update to Lollipop first and then update to Marshmellow
But if you want to skip that you can always install Marshmellow manually when the KDZ comes out for your variant in the UK

The answer to this is yes. I was running stock KK 4.4.1 and I got fed up with waiting for my MM update so I used this (http://www.droidviews.com/install-marshmallow-kdz-lg-g3-d855-using-flash-tool/) it took me about ten minutes and was so easy I'd wish I done it weeks ago. But before I did I update to LP first as I didn't know if some code was used from LP in MM, so I done the OTA update to LP first and by doing I found 4 other updates waiting to install. So I would be still waiting in till the end of time for my OTA MM update. So I would suggest this kzd update to anyone even amateurs. My G3 D885 is now running 6.0 and haven't found any problems yet.

D858-HK: Does it have a Stock Lollypop Rom?

Hey All,
I've just got a Dual-SIM LG G3 D858-HK and it shipped with Kit-Kat... When I check for an update it advises there is no new update (No Lollipop) :crying:
I really hope that the D858-HK is going to get a stock rom which is 5.0 or 5.1.
Have I missed something? Can anyone help?
Thx

You can t marshmallow roms now, which work by flashing via twrp
It has had Lollipop (5.0) for nearly a year. Sometimes it does not show up as an OTA update. Use the LG Mobile Support Tool on your computer and keep the country as Hong Kong for latest updates.
Marshmallow (6.0) for D858HK was released last week and is available if you choose your country as Hong Kong in the LG Mobile Support Tool.

Manually updating to 5.1.1?

Hello,
I have an unlocked LG G3 bought from Amazon UK.
It is currently on Android 5.0 and I was waiting long for 5.1 or 5.1.1 but it seems it won't be updated soon automatically.
Can I manually update to 5.1 or 5.1.1? Does anybody know where should I download the official firmware?
I know the website for all Samsung firmware but not sure of the LG one.
Software version of my G3 is V20i-EUR-XX.
Thanks.
As soon as 5.1(5.1.1) or newer version is available(at all for the g3) you can download it either from your carrier or when the OPEN ones receive it. Currently the g3 doesn't have 5.1(5.1.1) or newer available at all.

Ah all right, I thought there is 5.1 for G3 but my specific version did not get it yet.
Thanks.
I dont think G3 will get 5.1.1 id say we will wait a very long time and they will go straight to 6.0 after the G4 gets its update.

[help] android ota update lg g3 d855 lollipop 5.1

Hello guys.
Bought a brand new lg g3 d855. Many updates were avalible. I did all and at the end i was at the lollipop 5.0 did you guys (d855 users) got any further updates. And what about the marshmallow official from lg. Which date approx is it going to release.
Thanks in advance.
Hey. Some G3 variants received 5.1.1 recently and the M update should be released in Q1 of 2016 if the rumors are true. If you want 5.1.1 for your D855, you can root it and install a custom recovery then you can flash a rom.
For D855 there is no official firmware (from LG) higher than 5.0.x
Ok thanks. I will be looking forward to wait for the official android m.

LG G3 D855 Marshmallow update?

Hey guys im probably miasing out i dont really check the g3 news or xda but i do know there's marshamallow update coming out to g3 already.
Im using the D855 version and when i check the updates on the update center it shows me this.?
The latest updates on phone is the 2014 version. Its not showing the marshmallow update is it because my device is rooted?
Or its just that D855 hasnt received the mm update yet?
Thanks
first of all, if you don't know yet, don't OTA when your phone is rooted. You have to unroot i you want to update OTA or via PC Suite.
second, only poland d855 has gotten marshmallow update. You can look around the forums in general section and android development section they are there.
Ok thanks

You will have to update your phone via the PC-Program "LG-PC Suite".
Be aware that there might still be a little wait (up to 3 weeks) until it becomes available in your country. Also, you will lose root after updating. If that's a problem check for a working marshmallow root method prior updating.

Haven't received recent update on my new D858HK

Tried to use OTA and the official support tool.
Both said there are no available updates.
Just bought the phone yesterday, it is a D858HK, originally on Android 4.4.2.
Wanna do the upgrade to Marshmallow. Any help?
