Best method to upgrade to MM (+TWRP+Root) from Custom ROM (+TWRP+Root) on D855 32gb? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Current Phone Set Up
CloudyG3 v2.2 Lollipop stock based custom rom (Android 5.0, modem 20k)
Rooted (via LG One Click Root Method)
Custom Recovery - TWRP (v2.8.6.1)
I'm trying to work out the safest/easiest method to upgrade my phone to MM while also having/retaining TWRP and root.
Have read many threads and am frankly a bit confused...
Can someone please enlighten me?
Many thanks :good:

Anyone able to offer some assistance? I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks

Download latest CM13 nightly and latest Gapps then just do factory reset in Twrp, flash CM13 then Gapps and you're good to go. Note: Root isn't enabled by default in Cyanogenmod, you have to go to developer settings and enable it there.

cant seem to find a way to install twrp on 4.4.2

Can somebody help me? i ve read a lot of threads but really not found out what to do...
I used this video and it worked.

that video is about jellybean...
I would downgrade to stock 4.2, root, install custom recovery, install 4.4 base package, then install CyanogenMod, then install red kernel or mani kernel that supports the 4.4 base. See the custom kernel threads for the links to the base firmware packages (to switch between 4.2 and 4.4 firmware bases).

It's not unusual for that entry in the build.prop to be blank, and shouldn't cause issues. I think the default there should be '11 11', though having it blank should be fine (pretty certain).
> Working perfect on stock based rom
Which roms are you flashing that are giving you problems? Many of the e980 roms are bugged out in various ways, maybe it's just a quirk of the one(s) you flashed? I had a similar problem recently, wifi just would *not* stay enabled, would not behave. I don't remember which rom it was though; I flash too much.
You've flashed the Kitkat 20g modem, yes? If all else flails, you could always flash back to Kitkat stock and start over, that's guaranteed to tell you whether its a hardware or software problem (if it persists after that: hardward, got to be).

Booyah: E980 20g Kitkat TOT.
Also, with Lollipop roms, I don't think any of them are totally stable or functionally 100% yet, so that's not a place to go if you want stuff to work. There's plenty of nice Kitkat roms like PAC-rom or Carbon-Rom is you want stability and want for your phone to work fully (but thats no fun! ).

Yoink.
^-- Freegee never lets me in unless I flash the Sphinx GPro Recovery CWM recovery first. Once that is done, it's all good.

Oh, no, you misunderstood: you don't use the CWM, you only install it and then quickly install *over* it with one of Freegee's recoveries. Never use the Sphinx CWM, as you'll get errors when you go to flash roms. You only insatll the Sphinx CWM so that Freegee will recognize your device and function, it's only a stepping stone to Freegee, not a recovery you should use on its own.
And, in light of recent developments on the TWRP 2.8 front, I'd say give that a try instead. It mounts your external SD just fine. THe only things I've flashed with it are BlissPop builds and Gapps, but all without an issue yet. Go for the one with the Play theme and enjoy its gorgeous colors.
Thanks buddy.. Freegee recognized my device and installed cwm succesfully

[Q] Which rom is the best for LG G3?

hello,
I want to change me ROM (if it is advised).
I have the LG G3 D855 (3gb ram 32 gb) with stock firmware.
There are too many ROMs to choose from and no knowledge about it
Thank You

CloudyG3 is an excellent rom. Very fast and fluid
while searching for the cloudyg3 i found a post about the v20p.
someone said that the v20p is better than the cloudyG3.
what do you think?
thanks ahead.

He will probably update cloudyg3's base to v20p so no worries.

if he'll update. will i need to reinstall my phone data all over again?
Ive got a stock rooted 20P rom installed and it runs flawlessly, i think out of all the stock roms this is the most fluid and has the most free ram on average. Cloudys rom hasnt been updated since he used 20i as a base and theres been other stock releases since then, im not sure he will create a 20P based rom unless there is a demand for it and nothing has been stated on his rom thread.
My personal favourite is Paranoid Android 5.1. It's been quite stable so far and I'm definitely enjoying AOSP more than LG's stock ROM.

Probably not. But it's good to have some fresh installs now and then just to keep things clean and running smoothly.

This method is for LG G3 D855 only.
First you’ll have to downgrade to KitKat (I advise using the KDZ method): Here
Root your device: Here
Flash TWRP: Here
Download the necessary content: ROM / Gapps / SU
Then boot into recovery mode, do a factory reset, flash ROM --> Gapps --> SU. When thats done, boot your device up and you should be ready to go.

thank you,
i did all that but the PA has lots of bugs
i guess ill wait to better version
but thanks alot
i think that it depens on very much things... for examply.. i jumped to G3 from SGS3 and in G3 I miss a few things from SGS3 (full log, call/sms feature from log, brightness settings - in G3 is very stupid, etc) but in stock rom there are many things which i miss for example in CM ROMs... qslide, slowmo, multiwindow, qickmemo, timed send of SMS.... it depends very on ROM and what do you want.... i saw th "best" phones and want to combine it in G3 and I am afraid it would be long journey for me
Almost all AOSP /CM based rom have bugs in current stage.
If you are looking for most stable rom, LG stock V20P rom is what you want.

[Q] Need help with downgrading to Kitkat from lollipop.

So I have used almost 5 custom ROMs after going through the cm12 update but none of the ROMs have fixed a very minor bug....the bug is any html5 video player through any browser buffers like crazy.... This did not happen with kitkat. Now some people will say that I should get a better internet connection, but I already have a 16mbps connection and things worked fine in kitakat.
Now I need some help and hopefully someone here will be able to help me with my issuee
I am currently running RR ROM and would like to return to cm12 so that I can return to kitkat by the guide provided in the forum. Problem is I can't find flashable cm12 files that I can flash through recovery. I don't want to use fastboot method. So if someone could please guide me to the link of the cm12 stock recovery and flashable zip of the ROM I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance!
Ahem... read the stickies.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/yureka/general/yu-yureka-mirrors-official-cyanogen-t3107684
There are 4 versions, which one should I use? Also are they flashable through a custom recovery over a 5.1.1 custom rom?
If your primary goal is to downgrade to KitKat, then follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/yureka/general/guide-downgrading-to-kitkat-t3097176
Thanks man....idk if it works directly from 5.1.1 or will I have yo downgrade to 12s but thanks for helping me out. I can't find the thnks button tho....where is it?

Flashing KitKat on my Lg G3 D855 via TWRP?

Is there any way to flash kitkat on my phone (running CloudyG3 2.5) because i am getting dreaded battery life, no more than 3 hours with minimum use and only 45 minutes on gaming?
Is there any custom rom based on stock that i can revert to? I dont want to lose root and all my data either.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
BUMP!
Anyone please offer some help ?
There are a number of 4.4.4 based ROMS for the D855 that can be found here...
[INDEX] LG G3 - ROMs, Kernels, MODs, Recoveries, Themes [11 Jul 2015]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2772658
Scroll down about 3/4 of the page to the "KitKat, Android 4.4x" section. If you want to retain root, then flash SuperSU from recovery after the ROM. If you don't want to lose your data, then use an app like Titanium Backup to back up your installed apps and data beforehand. They can then be restored after installing the new ROM. You can find the flashable 2.46 version of SuperSU (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip) here...
