Hello guys.
First of all some information about my phone.
Current android version: 5.1
Kernel: 3.10.16
Build: LMY47D
Software version: v10h-260-06
It is LG H815.
The thing is that I want to upgrade my phone to 6.0 or flash any custom ROM.
I had only Sony phones and i am not familiar with flashing LG.
I have rooted it about six months ago and it was working fine but few weeks ago it started doing some crazy ****.
It slowed a lot, blacksceen when unlocking etc.
I decided to try any custom ROM.
And I have few questions:
1. How can I flash twrp recovery? And which one should I use?
2. Do I need to flash any other rom than I have now in order to flash custom ROM?
3. What about bootloader? How to check if I have it unlocked?
Thanks guys.

Hi Friends,
It's been an year since I decided to crack open my android OS and install an OS which was lot faster sans bloat ware. I chose to go with CWM recovery and Cyanogen. I was happy not seeing At&T logo while my phone boots up and was hoping much better things as I use this phone. However, no matter to which version I upgrade, CM has been extremely disappointing to say the least. Not to sound like I am whining, can someone guide me on how to get back to stock OS without bricking my device. My device details given below.
Model: AT&T Samsung Galaxy SIII (Samsung SGH-I747)
Baseband version: I747UCDMG2
Bootloader version: I747UCDMG2
Android version: 4.4.4
CM version: M10-d2lte (downgraded from M11-12 after issues with camera, call volume, mobile networks)
I am seeking help on:
1. Where can I get the stock ROM that suits my device current state
2. Steps on how to wipe off the current crap on my phone and install stock
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sid

If your phone isn't unlocked and you are able to flash to stock 4.1.1, use the free method to unlock it before upgrading the bootloader.

Hi OP,
were you able to go back to stock ROM from Android ver 4.4.4 Bootloader I747UCDMG2?
If yes, please let me know which stock ROM you used. I am in the same boat.
Thanks
My boss bought one of these from China last year and it came with a chines OS and did not have the Play Store.........
I managed to root it and flash on a custom OS [PAC-MAN], specifically a 4.2.2 jelly bean version.....
I looked into getting the device upgraded to 4.4.2 kitkat but was put off by the downgrading etc that was involved...
he now feels like a change and I would preferably be looking to install a stock kit kat OS on to his device.........
as I have not been playing about with this phone for a while, could someone provide a basis step by step guide to what is required.........
I can flash ROMS no problem but the issue I had the last time was being unable to get the phone officially updated to stock 4.4.2, to then go on and flash custom ROMS after that.......
Thanks in advance........
My wife bought a phone here in Mexico from TELCEL and I hate the stock ROM on it, I'm wanting something like CM or Paranoid Android etc on it.Is there a way to root a carrier locked phone from TELCEL? I can't seem to find any information as I don't know so much spanish to read tutorials about it. Even if I can't unlock it, just installing a new ROM on it would help.
Can anyone lead me in the right direction?
Phone Model: LG-D693n G3 Stylus
Provider: TELCEL
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband Version: MOLY.WR8.W1338.MD.WG.TC01.SP.V11.P2
Kernal Version: 3.4.67
Build Number: ALPS.KK1.AOSP.MP2.TC1SP.V1.19
Software Version: V10a_09-JAN-2015
Cheers
If you want to root the device you can follow this guide.I used PurpleDrake to root my device with firmware V10e for G3 (D855).(As long as you are still in kitkat 4.4.2 / V10a firmware you probably could use Towelroot too to root your device without using a PC).
As long as you root your device you can change the official rom with a custom one.In order to achive that you are going to need a custom recovery.You have to find the right one for your device.I am using TWRP on my device.
If something goes wrong or for some reason you want to restore your phone to official rom you can flash a stock firmware using this guide.I hope I helped you.

Sorry, just checked, same guide as above.....
Hello XDA! First I want to say I am not new to rooting but I'm still noob at it.
So here's my problem. I've rooted my LG G3 S D722 (I don't know if it is known as Beat) 3 months ago and I wanted to unroot it today for a software update. The only problem is that I haven't unrooted it correctly. Now I can't root it anymore (or I don't know how). Anyway I wanted to unroot it so I heard a Hard Reset will unroot it but it wasn't like that. After I hard reseted it, a game app which I really like it keeps giving me crashes and I don't know what to do.
I'm thinking that my last solution is to downgrade the software to the stock firmware but I don't how, again. I've searched 12 hours today and I couldn't find anything brilliant and 100% working without breaking the device.
Device : LG G3 S D722
OS: Android
OS version: 5.0.2
ROM: Lollipop
Kernel version: 3.4.0+
Bandbase version: MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c1.15-00044-M8926DAAAANAZM-1
Compiler Number: LRX22G.A1440040099
Software version: V20d-EUR-XX
The point is I want to downgrade it to stock firmware first. If I can't do that I want to root it again (if it is possible) and install a custom ROM, but I would prefer the stock unrooted firmware. Any help?
Thanks in advance!
First let me say that I am brand spanking new to these forums. I've some experience rooting before, but it has been years... Last phone I had rooted was the HTC Evo 3D (I still have that cool sonfa) which was years ago. Been out of the loop as far as things go. I decided to mess around with my old Note 4 (it's really not that old, I love this beast), so here I am. I've unlocked the bootloader and confirmed that it's rooted via root checker, but it's still in the stock 5.0.1 firmware... BORING... So I want to install a custom ROM and debloat this thing... I do have some general questions.
1) Any links to safely upgrading my note4 from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 ? (not even sure if this is necessary, you'll see what I'm getting at later in this post)
2) Bootloader is unlocked, phone is rooted, that's it... Do I need to flash a new kernel before trying to flash a custom ROM? Again, are they version specific as to what android I'm using?
3) ROM's and Firmware... I see ROM's listed here that have 6.0.1 next to them, does that mean that I need Android 6.0.1 to install this ROM?
Example: [ROM] [6.0.1] [UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 13.0 [Jul 24, 2016]
That's basically all my Q's, thanks again for any help/guidance I can get here.
