Hey guys, I've been looking for something to upgrade to from my old e970, and I've had nothing but great experiences with LG phones. I have a question regarding the different model's of this phone, and potential development limitations. I would be getting the D851 (Tmo variant) and wondering if there are compatibility issues among the roms? For example, in original development, official CM13 is listed for d855, does that mean there's no way I wouldn't be able to use it on a D851? I understand for my e970 if I use an international variant rom I'd lose camera and sd card support.
Thanks!
You can only use D851 roms in that instance. That is the reason why D851, D852, D855 etc. have separate forum categories for rom developments.
Flashing rom that is intended for other model than your phone causes it to brick or boot loop (I'm not sure what of those two since I've never done that)

Thanks! I found the seperate forum for the D851 and CM13 does have an official version. This should make building other roms much simpler. Thank you again!

The only G3 with an unlocked bootloader is the D851 which is the T-Mobile variant. As the bootloader is not yet unlocked and no workaround has yet been discovered there is no possibility of flashing a ROM on any other variant.
I understand that you are new to XDA and are excited to start flashing ROMs but you should take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the rules of the community and how the site operates. Your question easily could have been answered with a quick search. Good luck and welcome to the forums.
I have an offer through Kijiji to buy the Rogers LG G3 (D852). I am currently an owner of a Nexus 5. A lot of things about the G3 are very tempting for me especially in regards to camera and screen size with small bezels. However I also like trying out what third party development has to offer. After going through these forums most of what I see is simply for D855 and D850. So, a couple of questions:
1. Rooting and "unlocking" bootloader: Is Purpledrake compatible with the d852 and can the d852 be "bumped" to have TWRP?
2. Lollipop: I'm aware that LG G3 now has Lollipop but are any builds compatible with the d852?
3. "Stock Android": By this I mean "not LG's skin", is there any way to get stock android or anything similar (CM12/PA/etc.) onto the the LG G3? I plan to use LG's firmware for the most part but the option to load an AOSP rom would be nice.
4. Backwards compatibility with AT&T model: Would ROMs that are available for the D850 work with the D852 since both are similar hardware?
5. Debloating: After rooting, can the phone be debloated to increase performance? I'm assuming LG has added a fair share of bloated software onto the stock ROM.
I really want to own this phone (the Nexus 5 just has HORRENDOUS battery life and camera for me) but the only thing pushing me away is the lack of development, if these questions can be answered and I can at least be provided with some hope for the future I will definitely consider buying the G3, thank you for any help in advance!
1. You can root it with Stump root
2. At the moment no.
3. There is CM12 but for D855. Carbon and Mahdi are also for D855. For D852 there is no AOSP rom.
4. No, it is not compatible.
5. Of course it can.
My D852 is rooted with Purpledrake and also BUMPED with TWRP recovery.
In the General section, read the Canadian Users thread and there are some converted D855 ROMS for D852.
ROMS are slowly but surely gaining traction. [I think there's a bit of a pause now as devs have moved from KK roms and now working on Lollipop ROMS]

Only Roms developed for the phone model is best practice otherwise bricking your phone is a real possibility

You should stick to roms made specifically for your device. It is very likely you will brick you're device if you flash a ROM for another variant. However, some devs build roms for more than one variant. Make sure your read thoroughly the corresponding rom's thread before flashing.
So I'm planning to root and flash a custom lollipop ROM on LG G3 (F400s and build number 10t). I've rooted and installed custom ROMs in a couple of devices before, but apparently there's a number of versions of this device. So my question is, does the process of rooting/installation of custom ROMs vary from one version to another or is the same for all versions? I've seen some tutorials for the D855 version, all I want to know is can I go through the same steps for the F400S version. Is ChupaChups ROM worth trying? Also, do I have to download a separate gapps if I plan to flash the ChupaChups ROM? Pardon the noobness fellas.
Edit: build number.
Hey guys, My dad is willing to update his LG G4'S version (Currently running Lollipop), I do understand a thing or two in rooting, custom roms and recoverys , however, I own a galaxy s6 - it has no AOSP Roms, only stock based. and my father is used to his phone as it is, I don't think flashing cyanogenmod will be a good idea, he likes the functions LG added and stuff like that( Yeah, I don't understand it too ). Are there any good MM stock based roms?
Thanks and sorry for my English
Cant u just ota official mm?
If not, what variant does he have? not all roms can be flashed.

Sorry for not mentioning - H815, Also, what is the newest official MM version (carrier-free)? I don't have any OTA's in my place currently unfortunately.
I use the stock MM ROM ver 20D listed in Android Development section, and it is lightning fast and smooth!

Well good news, you got the bootloader unlockable variant!
To be honest anything with H815 in it is what you can do.
You can flash stock MM (I'd reccomend v20h its located in the general section)
You can flash cm13,
Be free little birdy!
