OK,seems I continue to post in the incorrect section so I"l try this again..recently my vs985 lg4 thru ota update was upgraded from 5.1 to 6.0- my questions are ,,, does kingroot work on the 6.0, I know it works on 5.1 as I previously had it rooted.and 2nd question is I'm having terrible battery life even with greenify working and the built in doze,is that a common problem..I didn't want to even try kingroot without asking first...thanks and hopefully I'm in the proper thread,section....
Nope, i've tried but no root for Android M for the LG G4. You'll have to go back to Lolipop
OK,not what I was hoping for,next question,do I just do a factory reset or does that not rest back to 5.1, as I originally had 5.1 but ota updates brought it to Mm..I truly do not like MM as battery life has been cut in half...

You have a VS986, not VS985.
A factory reset will put you back to Marshmallow.
You will need to use LGUP PC tool to flash your phone back to Lollipop using the 13B KDZ file.
Thanks,thts something way out of my league,got to look that up and read into how to do that without messing up,if I had known MM was soo bad with battery life I would never had done the upgrade,very glad I've found xda forum..next question does it matter if I have an lg3 or lg4? or is MM that difficult to root,i know its new upgrade but I can tell you personally that without root MM is terrible with battery life,my vs985 was great rooted on 5.1...and I thank this group VERY much for the advice I am getting...

Do a factory reset... Will help with battery life.
After any large update you should factory reset. Cleans up old files "basically corrupt files" not needed for the new OS.
Thank you...
Yeah, i should go back to Lolipop soon cause the default Launcher is not good for me. I want Z-Launcher https://www.zlauncher.com/ I also want all the bloatware gone

About the battery life it could be that the verizon apps are draining the battery, when i bought my phone i totally freak out becasuse it didnt last not even 8 hours, try to good to app manager settings and disable all verizon apps as well the NFL app that why solf your issue. At leats for me was the answer.
Yes your definitely correct,since my it a from 5.1 to 6.0 I've been eliminating unnecessary apps trying to solve my issue,several apps I need root and now that I am 6.0 that's been impossible,but ice eliminated a lot..

You dont need Root. you permanetly disable them just go to:
1) Setting
2) App Manager and localize the aplications of verizon and
3) Select one, later clic on disable (or Deactivate)

Hey guys.
Yesterday I installed leaked 10j firmware and I am really impressed how it works. It feels much more fluid and responsive, but I am not sure if it is because of fresh install or it really is that better.
Could you share your impressions about this version? What key differences do you see?
If you haven't installed it yet here is the dl link: https://mega.co.nz/#!wFZnnToR!24jSLOsVvFnBspQr7wO5sH1fWwDKG1j6SMh3v2MWTOo

They disabled the adaptive lcd refresh and set it to a fixed 60fps so that's why it's more fluid and responsive
Battery life is good so far for me (after deleting robird which was hammering the battery)
Yeah. I also read about it. Lets see how battery acts after few days.
After 3 days of use, the battery life is so far the best on G3 for me!
On every update (kinda) ppl say "no more lag". Guess im the only one who cant see a difference at all.
anybody notice any signal reception improvement in 10j ? there was some reports regarding 10i... i just wonder if 10j is the same? cheers

Just a question, how does installing these updates go if we've rooted and spent hours tweaking little things like app icons and status bars? I'm interested in the updates, but will we receive them OTA or do they have to be manually, and if installed will they remove anything? I've read that you can manually disable OTA but I've also read that when rooting it automatically removes that ability. So I'm confused on the topic. Sorry for the silly question.

As 10j is a test version, you would have to install it by using a tool with a computer and it is safer to do that with a clear installation, i.e., without maintaing your configurations.
Of course there are backup and restore tools you can use. But even with those some rework can be necessary.

First, off if you are Rooted = You will not receive OTA's. These downloads are TOT files unless otherwise noted, if otherwise noted they would be KDZ files. With TOT files you will need to use LGFlashTool to install it. As a general note download the TOT and extract it-> also find a copy of the dll file for your device and load both into LGFlashTools and run it. Device in download mode, plug and run (I'm sure you know steps...) Just remember that basically, by Rooting your device you have disabled OTA's, if you want to reset your device just do a Factory Data Reset. Also, if you're interested in searching for Firmware, I put together this thread which I hope it helps; http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/firmware-updates-available-to-download-t2844227 .
The version in download link is for 32G or 16G?
Thanks.
I am using it with 32 version.
Is this ota international update?

It is a leaked version, not an official OTA.
Probably some carrier version since I had 2 apps from them.

As long as you didn't unlock your bootloader which isn't even possible yet you will receive OTA updates. With the last two updates even root has remained. As long you didn't change your recovery you will even be able to install the OTA updates.
noob question: this can't be used on the tmobile G3, right?
It is for 855 version which is interntional.
Hey, I have the F400S and I just got the update, it updated to 10k, is this the latest for my g3?
Did anybody install it in a D855 16Gb version? Does this same Rom fit in both versions?
Ok. I was using 10F , and it terrible , it was lag, slow. Upgraded to 10J yesterday and this is the best rom so far. Smooth, fast and look like better battery life.
I have a lg g3 (verizon) with 5.0.1 rooted. Is it safe to update to 5.1.1? Has anyone tried? I want to but im afraid it'll break my root completely or my phone will brick. I can't lose my root because ill lose a lot of features. So if someone has tried or is willing to try that'd be awesome!
Same boat. I'll be watching this for an answer.

Reflash stock recovery and you should be fine
OTA usually removes root. You can reroot it after you install the OTA
No update for the d855 or other versions ?!

Well I recommend a clean TOT or KDZ flash. Hope this will fix your problem. Please do follow this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2785089 to flash TOT or KDZ then update via OTA. Thanks!
DO NOT TAKE THE UPDATE
...if you want root, etc. Currently there is no way to root 35b and no way to roll back to an earlier version. They patched some things up it seems.
Some brave souls took the update and are stuck now... http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-5-1-1-ota-t3220693/post63200915#post63200915

I just update my rooted 5.0.1 VS985 to 5.1.1, gotta say , this new system is more battery save. i turn on the music and LG health and mobile data when i took exercise tonight for about 2 hours, and it's only cost 3% of the battery.and you know,lots of useless Verizon apps and others, but it's fine, i can disable it in app manager.
Yea I noticed that with this new update as well.
I'm little sour about being in un-rooted state.
But the battery life is noticeably better.
Maybe this option was there but I noticed new options under the developer setting where you can restrict amount of background apps running. I believe this helps out a lot as well.
Just an update on the update...
On vs985 it looks like someone was able to successfully TOT back from the 35B update, so people shouldn't be stuck anymore if they took the OTA(see post 84 here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ing-takethe-vs98535b-5-1-1-ota-t3220693/page9). Root is still not available for people who took the 35B OTA yet, but there are 2 stock based rooted 35B ROMs available now: Jasmine and Skydragon. I think the only thing that isn't functional is advanced calling because we can only use the 24b modem with the 35b ROM due to the 12b bootloaders we have that allow us to have TWRP...or something like that. So it'll be a 35b ROM and all it's updated glory - running a 24b modem.
Just got my D851 with stock 5.0.1 preinstalled.
Its telling me to update the phone.
Has anyone updated via the air method?
Not sure what it is but wanted to be sure if its MM or 5.1.1 before I moved forward

As a rule of thumb if you plan to root, you should NEVER update. Updating will usually patch any exploits the devs use to root our phones. It depends on what you want to do with your phone down the line.... Update at your own risk.
@tiguy99, also it's definitely not MM. I'm not even sure 5.1.1 was ever released either.
I know the D851 has been unlocked from the get-go (didn't need bumping like the others in the past) but as the previous post alluded to, the OTA just might lock it down. Be sure and be careful.

Sorry, my post was not helpful. Here is something you can do: long press on the update notification and click on the "info" icon and disable the notification. This way you are less likely to accidentally update, and it won't bother you as much.

If it is a stock D851 running on Tmo, then the update is probably the recent update of 20e (released back on June 9) to 20g (released back in October). There has been a lot of that just within the last 60 days. However, it is still Android 5.0.1. Tmo has NOT upgraded our G3 to anything beyond 5.0.1 yet, but has committed to updating us to Marshmallow Android 6, probably sometime in the next 3 months.
As for the update, all 20g did was patch the Stagefright vulnerability that had been discovered back in August. That was a vulnerability in Lollipop wordwide on all carriers. Look at your phone info under settings. If you are on 20e, it will not hurt at all to upgrade. But in any case, the update you are seeing is DEFINITELY NOT 5.1.1 and it is DEFINITELY NOT Marshmallow. It is still 5.0.1. Good luck.
Please hit the THANKS button if I helped you.
I got mine week ago and updated it didn't root but used Newest Root Method in general section and finally got it.

No need. Google 'Newest root method' D851 xda download file thru your browser double click on windows batch file. Follow prompts. Hope this helps you out.
I too got my D851 last week. It had KK 4.2.2 and wanted to update. So I decided to go ahead and do the OTA. The final result was 5.0.1 D85120g. I don't think there are any higher updates yet. Rooted without issue using Newest Root Method mentioned above, again, without issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197
However, if you are still unsure, you can always downgrade to a lower version. You will have to do a search for D85110r in the KDZ file version and find the loader for that file. Took me a little time to find it but I have both the KDZ file and loader.

Yes it finally did. I was busyviver the holidays but whenbi had some down time and peace and quiet I tried it. It wokwd perfect. Thanks again.
I'm tired of the problems and struggle I've had attempting to use my rooted G4. I'm currently on 13b rooted and it's been giving me problems. It randomly reboots and doesn't start up at times. And it's so sluggish. I've gotten a replacement because I flashed the wrong kdz. I just want my phone to work without all these problems. I just want to get to the stock Verizon MM for my G4. Is this possible?
You should be able to flash the MM kdz - they can be found here in the general section. Be sure to verify it is the correct kdz.
Keep in mind once you go to MM you won't be able to achieve root without downgrading back to LP. I think there is a downgrade thread here in general as well if you need it.

Thank you I just downloaded the KDZ and flashed via LG UP. It installed without any problems. I'm aware that you can't root on MM, I'm ok with that. I need a break from rooting after all of this. Thank you I appreciate it!
Glad to see someone here not happy with rooting the G4. I don't find it worth the risk or the benefits worth it without the ability to flash custom roms. I've never rooted a phone without there being a way to install a custom recovery.
For anyone interested, The Android Central podcast discussed the topic of rooting and flashing roms a bit on their most recent episode. Most of them agreed that there isn't as much of a need anymore to root and flash roms and that it's kind of died down a bit. Features that people used to have to root their phones for are now available on most stock roms.

i know at the end of the video it says close the app, but dont, just start it and you be upgraded to MM in no time just make sure upgrade is checked
if you want to start fresh, then you can just do what my video says to get refurbished checked
if you upgrade with a rooted rom you have to factory reset your phone inorder for MM to boot
hi, I'd like to know if there were any way I could revert back to marshmallow without bricking the device. I was thinking about rooting my phone, download the stock a520 6.0 rom zip file and flash it with the recovery menu. First I don't wanna brick it, second I'm not sure I can find some flashable zip file.
I did this with my old Motorola moto g 3 and never had any problems.
do you guys think it'll work and so where I could find those files? also if there's any other safe way to do it share it please!
Thanks in advance!

I don't think it will work because Samsung has anti rollback in its phones which prevents the bootloader from being downgraded. However, a system and boot flash might work. I don't know about the modem though.
Samsung is one of the few brands that implement it.
I don't really see the use though as it is quite possible to bootloop and if done incorrectly, could result in a hard brick.

that is what I thought... I think the only real solution would be to find a custom Rom of the Stock 6.0 but untouched. It would not need the bootloader to be downgraded would it?

When I bought my Moto g 2015 it was very fast and that was surprising. All the updates started to drain the battery and make the device work slower . I tried almost all the custom Rom possible and after flashing back the stock 5.1 out of the box version I have to admit they wanted the device to become slow with all the updates.
Now when I received my A5 it was already running nougat. I think the best you can get from your phone is with the outbox version because everything is planned to be running perfectly so people buy it. For me even though it brings new features and stuff, update wont get you device any better.
So ya that's the reason I'd like to downgrade.

You could extract the system and boot out of the stock firmware, but I don't know if it's worth the risk.

Motorola got in trouble for that. Others too. It's illegal now, so you should leave out that theory.
I've had only positive experiences with my last 5 smartphones. Upgrading does precisely that...makes it better. An OEM would not produce an upgrade without testing it. That's why we had a better experience with Nougat and even better with Oreo.
What do you do differently with Oreo than you did with Nougat?
