D855?
See link in my sig for how to unroot for OTA.
You need to unroot first before updating.

Hi guys last month i have bought a lg g3 (d855) and its have the 4.4.2 kitkat version and when i try to update it is says that i have the latest version, and when i try to update it using lg pc suite its troubleshooting and cant update, please can someone help me how can i get the official lollipop update?? ☺☺
use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190 to upgrade.
should be able to get LP in some form from http://lg-firmware-rom.com/ by inputting your imei . it will be a .kdz file.
it will likely not be the most current version available for your device, but LP nonetheless.
best place to get up to date firmware is from http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/stock-t2961073
to use this link's software, you need to be rooted and have a custom recovery (twrp) installed, which is seamless. follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/root-root-lg-g3-easily-purpledrake-lite-t2821000 to root,
and install http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lg_g3/bump/ via flashify. (make sure you choose your correlating mdoel, in this case d855)
following this, you will be able to make your way to LP
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 ?
In my country G3 still didn't receive the update to 6.0 OTA. I'll probably just upgrade it manually since i am tired of waiting.
If i manually update my D855 to 6.0 it will be able to receive 6.0.1 or others upgrades OTA in the future? The manual upgrade to 6.0 done by the LG flash tool is official?
Thanks in advance

If you flash kdz made for your phone you will recieve ota otherwise you won't. For receiving ota you have to flash kdz file made for your for your country's g3.
I strongly reccomend you to follow this thread to prevent hard brick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64624353&postcount=3
Using the LG Flash Tool instead of the newer LGUP may cause serious troubles when flashing Marshmallow kdz files.
I have a d852 on mm and want to downgrade to lollipop, my big question is I have found the tutorial for it but it says to download the KDZ file but when I look there is only a Telus one for Lollipop. I just wanted to know if I can safely flash the Telus on my Fido phone
Thank You
