LG G3

Hello Everyone !
I have a question which really interests me. I have stock rom installed on my LG G3 D855. Oversharpening of the screen annoys me. I have decided to root and install that overshapening fix. By doing this I will change kernel of my LG G3. The question is will I be able to receive any official software update from LG after rooting and changing kernel ?
Thank you for your patience you took to answer me !

no, if you change the kernel you don't be able to receive OTA updates, but you can install it over KDZ Flasher...

Hi, You don't need to receive the updates. The custom ROMs based on the stock firmware are way better and they are updated soon after the new stock firmware is out.

By rooting and installing the oversharpening fix, you must have installed TWRP, which means that you are no longer on stock recovery. Do not take any OTA or you may risk bricking your phone. Manually flashing is really your only option at this point. You can flash official firmware, which is available here, but you cannot update using OTA.

Is there any difference between flashing kdz and receiving OTA update. I mean are they (kdz file and received update ) different or completely same ?

OTA is over the air update, its via 3G or wifi, directly from LG servers, if you change the kernel, the servers or the update center dont know what version you have and dont detect your device or better saying dont know what phone you have!
Flashing in KDZ is completly different, because you need to use a PC to download the firmware, need to use a USB cable to connect your device in PC and use KDZ flash tool to flash the firmware on your LG G3...
anyway, i belive the 2nd option is better because sometimes the newest firmware dont be avaiable in update center when its leaked (of course it depends of your contry and etc) and you can download it on PC and put it on your G3 as soon as possible!

Thank you for detailed information. My question was actually about the files. Kdz file and received update. Are they the same ? Let me explain. Say I have 2 LG G3 D 855 smartphones. I receive OTA update 20I to first one and flash kdz 20I to second one. Will they be the same or different. Apps , tweaks , quick settings .etc ?

Need Help in flashing KDZ file.

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.

Make sure data is turned on and a Verizon Sim card in, and obviously you did a factory reset. If so, you shouldn't have an issue forcing the update.
24c and 25a update's should be available.

Actually I don't know any other way without having a Verizon Sim, or trying LGUP method, or kdz.

LG G Pad X 10.1 v930 update issue

After bricking my first tablet, I learned that the boot loader is locked and that the factory Rom is not available for this device (and a lot of AT&T devices). It was replaced luckily but now I face a different set of issues. The update to Marshmallow is available but I cannot update it no matter what I do. Obviously I am worried about tinkering too much because of the possibility of bricking it again. Yes it is rooted, and that's why it refuses to update.
Would it be wise to try to mask the root with an xposed module, since I can't seem to fully remove the root itself?

good luck getting any answers on this device. If been asking about downgrading from 6.0 so I can get root. No helpful information for the ATT variant.

I can't find any updated when I try for this device. How did you go about getting a replacement ?
I would be fine with a rom image to install and a root. But I want my 6.0 that I am deserving

You can't retain root if you're going from Android 5x to android 6x because of the changes to ART. Maybe one day some crafty dev will figure out how to root an AT&T 6x device with a locked bootloader but unfortunately that day isn't today.
If you are looking to root and customize your device then stay off of att.

I have an LG Gpad X 10.1 v930 (AT&T) which I am unable to update to Marshmallow via OTA Update. I haven't rooted my device, yet I am not able to receive the update via OTA. Is there any other way I can update to Marshmallow? I tried to use LG Bridge but it keep giving me message "Cannot check software version".

I just recently got the v930 from AT&T, and I've tried Kingroot, but it did not work. It came with MM already installed, and I can't find very much information on this tablet. So If you want root, then it's probably best not to upgrade.

My tablet originally had an ATT sim card so I borrowed an ATT sim card, checked again for update through settings. Connected to the ATT server and got the update.

Put in an ATT sim card so you can connect to their server for the update.

Yeah OTA may not work depending on what model you have and from what region is your phone.
LG Bridge also doesn't work since it checks IMEI and if it matches the firmware region. It knows when something doesn't add up
If you want to update you can find the correct firmware for your phone or use an older LG UP version to update without losing data.
Either way I find it useless to update since it's just a security patch and nothing more

Wow really thanks! So I'll wait for some major update

Can I update via LG Bridge after unlocking and root? Wont it brick the phone?
How to I find out which KDZ file to download? My phone is EM, Central europe. Or it doesnt matter? What is the difference between rom regions? Is there any universal unbloated EM kdz?
