D851 Marshmallow root and install fulmics 5.1(5.2,5.3) - T-Mobile LG G3

Hello everyone.
I am newbie here.
I own t-mobiles lg g3 and updraded to marshmallow as the ota updates became available. But due to certain reasons, i wanted to install custom rom. The primary hurdle was rooting the device. Through trial and error method i have now successfully installed the fulmics 5.3.
I want to share my experience in this regard.
Device : d851 ( t-mobile lg g3)
Software veesion : 6.0 official marshmallow.
Root :-
Through mobile's browser, google for kingsroot. Download and install. ( donot reboot as this is temporary root, one the cell is rebooted the device will regain its previous status).
download twrp.image for d851 and save in sd card.
Now download flashify from play store and open the app. It will give three options. Select the first option ( browse image file or some thing like this) and select the twrp file you have recently downloaded. The flash will b completed in few seconds.
Congratulations, you have installed twrp.
Download a copy of custom rom ( fulmics 5.1 recommended) and save in sd card.
Now reboot the device in recovery mood ( either by turning off the cell, and then pressing simultaneously volume down+ power button, as the lg logo appears, release the power key and again press it. You will see two options, select the YES twice.
In recovery mode, first select wipe, advance wipe, system and then slide to wipe. Once done, go back and install the custom rom. After the successful installation, dont select the reboot option. Instead go back and again select wipe, factory reset.
congratulations, rom has been installed.
But you will observe sim card is not read by device. This is because cell was not properly rooted. To tackle this problem, download the modem file for D851 and flash it.
Enjoy the new custom rom.
Thanx.
Sorry for poor presentation and, offcourse, my weak english.

Man! Thanks for this! I have been looking everywhere for a way to do this and you are all the help I needed! Thank you!!!

If i may ask you, where can we get the modem and which one do you recommend? I have tried this and always i get the imei, baseband and number unknown

Sure could have saved a lot of time if I had found this first.
I did install TWRP using a kingroot temporary root, got lost in a boot loop installing Fulmics 5.1 lost my data connection and imei information and finally downgraded back to stock Marshmallow feeling blessed to have restored my data connection. Had just finished transferring the flashable modem zip over to the SD card with an idea that I would try to move the mountain once more when I stumbled across your post which is priceless with the wealth of solutions to the problems I've had to overcome with the install. Flashify was the route to go. Lost TWRP on last flash and was just about to go through my torturous route of installing Fulmics 5.1 from scratch (root/adb/twrp/rom/bootable modem/etc.. Instead in the time it took to sign up so I could thank you for the easiest directions to this LG G3 D851 nightmare, I'm up an running on Fulmics 5.1 with full data connection. Your method eliminated a lot of the problems introduced by going the other route. Also you highlighted the main things. The factory reset is crucial and with the tricky temp root of Kingroot, it's easy to get stuck. Same with SuperSU flash/WRP and the modem flash. This should be a sticky on most sites related to LG G3 because it is the simplest way to go.

Jesus christ! Is this the only way to root my t-mobile D851? Seems like this is a dangerous way to live! Lol. But Really...

thank you, i will try it could you please give me fulmatic 5.3 room link for (d851)

Thanks for sharing

I am a newbie and do not have much experience with rooting or installing flash. But I followed your instruction and installed the fulmics.. I am struggling to flash the modem file. Can you please provide step by step instruction to do that pls. I am using flashify app
But you will observe sim card is not read by device. This is because cell was not properly rooted. To tackle this problem, download the modem file for D851 and flash it.

I am no expert either, but I believe you need to flash it in TWRP. Boot in to TWRP recovery and flash the modem zip. TWRP recovery-> Install-> modem zip-> reboot when finished

KingoRoot just seems shady to me, I wouldn't touch it personally. Here's what I did (just yesterday), from Stock MM Unrooted:
Downgrade back to original factory stock image: http://www.androidexplained.com/downgrade-lg-g3/
Root (used PurpleDrake "manual" method as auto script didn't work): http://lgg3root.com/lg-g3-root/how-to-root-lg-g3/
Once rooted, install SuperSU & TWRP Manager from Play Store
From TWRP Manager install latest version of TWRP
Boot into TRWP and do a factory reset/clear cache; flash ROM (Blisspop for me, but same general steps should apply for any ROM) and Gapps from TWRP; factory reset/clear cache again for good measure
Edit: Data works with 20B modem.

How to prevent apps from being unistalled in stock rom? In other roms u can lock the package installer .
In stock simply u just hold and drag the app to unistall button . installation of an app can be locked but unistallation cant be locked . is there anyone to solve the issue . sorry for bad english

i flashed another kernel and it is not that good... is it possible to find the kernel and just flash it ? without reflashing the rom?

KingRoot is not working for me, says Root Failed, somebody know why? What can i do?

You should be able to get the stock kernel back by "dirty flashing":
-boot into recovery (twrp)
-flash ROM *without* wiping anything.
Not to lecture, but this can all be prevented by following this simply advice:
-ALWAYS take a backup before flashing anything/customizing this or that.
-ALWAYS double and triple check that the ROM/Kernel/Whatever you're flashing is for your SPECIFIC MODEL and CARRIER.
Happy modding

[Q] Newbie Help Needed! Z1C - Internal Data Recovery

Hi,
Up until this time yesterday I thought I was relatively tech savy... Unfortunately the last 24 hours have proved otherwise!
I received the notification from Sony PC Companion to update to Lollipop, and without thinking about backing up 4 months worth of pictures / videos of my baby son, went ahead...
Unfortunately the update failed, and I was left with a phone in bootloop mode... and the only solution I found was to use Sony PC Companion to 'repair' it (which installed Lollipop), unaware that this would wipe the internal memory including all of said baby photos / videos. I haven't dared tell my wife yet, and have been up all night trying to find a way to recover the data....
Totally unfamiliar with the concept of bootloaders, rooting, etc... I investigated some recovery software options, assuming they would work in the same way as normal hard drives. It would appear that is the case, but in order to access the internal memory I've opened up (ie. confused) my brain with the more technical side of the Android OS. I've tried and failed to root the phone, as that seems to be the fundamental requirement of the various data recovery programs.
Enough of the summary, here are a few basic questions...
1. Can I root the Z1C in its current state? It's running Lollipop, bootloader unlocked (as far as I'm aware), USB debugging mode enabled, etc... If so, and I understand this is a basic question for this forum, but can someone please explain how? I've tried numerous tutorials and am totally lost...
2. If I can't root the phone as is, am I right to assume I need to downgrade the OS to KitKat or similar? Again, can someone please explain, step by step what is required...
3. Is there a simpler way to recover the internal data, or am I at least in the right ball park?
I really appreciate any help you guys can offer...
Thanks,
Tim
You can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...-5-0-242-r3d-customized-ru-1279-3901-t3081309 , others have succeeded, i for some reason didn´t. But yes, go back to .107, root and then install pre-rooted Lollipop.

With unlocked bootloader u can always root any rom. Just install your favourite Stock ROM. I recommend a FTF File that you can flash with flashtool.
Then flash the FTF / ROM and after that, the Kernel with CWM Recovery like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2620794
--> Working Kernel for KitKat 4.44 also for Lollipop 5.02:
Advance Stock Kernel with Recovery v04 (FW:14.3.A.0.757}
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now download the latest SuperSU ZIP form here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 and copy that to your SD card.
Finally restart your phone, press vol down when LED appears at bootup and flash SuperSu ZIP. --> now you are rooted.
You can also flash the latest dual recovery ZIP, if you want to return to original Stock Kernel:
To get the original Kernel of your Stock ROM back, use flashtool, select again the FTF file and uncheck all "Wipe settings" and also exclude all "flash settings" except the "KERNEL". Flash it and you are done.

Thanks for the advice and link. To be honest, even the instructions on that thread are beyond me at the moment... I know it's very basic for you guys, but can you please explain these steps in more detail:
- wipe system, data, cache, davik (all)
- flash this zip
What are the different FTF options listed below the main instructions? Firmware, Kernel Only and Without System?
Thanks,

Okay, first, you may want to try flash the v10g version of the stock ROM because it's the best starting point for flashing the custom ROM on lg ogp device. Follow the instructions in the link below and you should be good. I don't know why someone would tell you to use the towel root with the stock v20 rom because a lot of time it doesn't root properly. The instructions you were originally gave were to root with the towel root and then install the busy box so you can use the freegee. With the freegee you can install either cwm or twrp custom recovery. Once you have the custom recovery, reboot into the recovery and then flash philz custom recovery because it's better than the freegee's. Philz recovery is optional if you don't feel like you need it, it just has more bell and whistle, that is all. You can flash the custom ROM with either custom recovery, philz or freegee. However, I'm more concern with you trying to root with the v20 stock ROM, because you will likely run into many issues. So be sure to read the guide I give you first.

Hey! thanks for the replay! I just got one helper because the rom guy didn;t want to help me so the others.Only 1 guy wanted to give me hints and I managed to install this stock rom.
So you're saying that I have wrong rom installed?
Do I have to really instal other rom or can I do it on mine but in other way to root it and process it so as to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-pro/development/mar-0-lollipop-g-pro-v1-t3043779 or not?
I'm all confused,just wanted to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-pro/development/mar-0-lollipop-g-pro-v1-t3043779
but whole day passed and nothing was done U.Ux
Read the guide I give you.
Managed to root my phone by iRoot.
Now I tried install busybox but after I hit install: "it looks like the instalation of busy box was not successful try installing to different location that may resolve the issue"....
any tips?
If you can't install the busy box, that usually has something to do with the root. That's the reason I said not to use the v20 stock ROM as the starting point. The only reason you need the busy box is the freegee, you can install the recovery without using freegee, but you have to search around XDA first because freegee opens up the boot loader, which is also the reason you can't just flash the recovery with the lg flash tool. You may have to flash v10g version of the stock ROM.
Ok I'm in philz menu.Someone said that all I need is to install(ANY) rom and kernel-how I do it? I want http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-pro/development/mar-0-lollipop-g-pro-v1-t3043779
Have you used a custom recovery before? Down load both rom and kernel installing files to a directory that you prefer, usually some where on your external sd disk. Once you get the files, go to philz recovery and press install zip, find the directory where the installing files are located, press on them, and it should install the rom. If you have never done this before, remember to factory or clean install the rom. On philz recovery, there is a function call installing a new rom under factory reset section, use that every time you're installing a new rom.

Yup, I advanced wiped my phone (TWRP) and cleared cache, dalvik and system
What's Wi-Fi doing? I notice there are issue with the modem on cm12.1 based custom rom. During the boot up, it would spent long time searching for the signal, but I never have problem with the Wi-Fi though, then again, I'm not using cm12.1 but vanir instead. However, somewhere I remember reading that someone else is having a issue with the Wi-Fi on cm12.1, and he fix it temporarily by setting up the Wi-Fi each time.

G8 Stuck in twrp loop

This is the first time I've ever done this, but I just hated the UI on the Huawei G8 (laggy) and decided to try the xda way. PS: knowing that it's easier to help someone when they tell all the details, I am going to post all of it. So sorry for the long post.
First thing I did was try to update to unofficial marshmallow downloaded from here. But it didn't work saying installation failed ... Did some research and found out the device OS is from Iran (I'm from the middle east), so probably the reason why it didn't allow me to install an EU update.
What I did then was unlock bootloader by getting the unlock code from emui website. And then unlocking it from the adb terminal (adb.exe)
Then I loaded TWRP and did a backup.
I forgot to copy SuperSu to the SD card, and when TWRP asked me to root I accepted. So it got stuck on the Huawei logo while booting.
I then did a recovery from TWRP which worked perfectly
I should've just downloaded a new rom and flashed that , but I was like maybe it might allow me to install that update now the phone is unlocked so I tried installing it from the updater ->local update. And that's when the looping into recovery happened.
So I tried to do another recovery from my backup , but again it loaded into TWRP . Which I don't understand since I guess it should load the backed up System. Or is there something telling the device to reload the update from the SD card causing it to crash again ?
UPDATE: I went into file manager and renamed the dload folder to dloadxxx but that didnt help. Then I downloaded the latest TWRP and flashed that, and recovered the backed up system and THAT worked . The restore took longer than with the older TWRP . I have no clue why it worked like this. But maybe this can help someone in the future.
Thanks
Had the same thing. Exept that this happend during OTA update ....
Get a stock ROM of your choice (tested with xxxB130xxx).
Use update extractor to extract boot.img, system.img recovery.img
Wipe all partitions (except external SD Card) with TWRP. Select remove data and confirm. (you said you have backup). This allows a clean install.
Bring phone into fastboot mode (Vol down + power)
Flash bootlader with fastboot
Make Reset
Flash recovery and system
After reboot phone should start up normal.
Let me know if you got stuck somewhere.
Chilli
Edit: Root cause for the problem seems that Hauwei needs stock recovery for some update actions. -> When ever you want to make OTA or dload update flash back to stock recovery before (better flash completely to stock ).

h t t ps://mega.nz/#!P04D2S5Y!Yn2CL5wLC8ISb5AcNR9MTxzhAq3yVH3weG60go5zQCA download this archive, change twrp inside it with the lastest one that surdu_pertu provide.
go twrp wipe all things there
than
using adb "fastboot flash recovery stock.img"
after the first boot phone gonna think a new firmware is being installed just skip it and power off the phone
this will give you a nice start for flashing the Marshmallow from the begining.
Hello Demage,
I would be looking forward to having an Marshmallow image (if it supports my basebands). But Mega says the key is invalid. Can you double check?
Chilli
Thankfully, I managed to fix it.
1- Download Marshmallow G8 stock ROM.
2- Download Huawei update extractor, then extract recovery.img using the previous tool from the stock ROM Update.app file.
3- Go to the bootloader, then flash the extracted recovery.img into recovery.
4- Reboot by the command fastboot reboot.
5- You will get the default loading screen saying the device is reset, then you will be directed to the system welcome screen.
6- You can flash TWRP again, then superSU.

Accidentally deleted stock firmware, help please.

Hi there,
I have a Huawei Rio L02, Australian Vodafone version.
I wanted to root my phone so I could use the gyroscope feature.
I was following a guide and managed to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP and SuperSU ok, upon trying to install cyanogenmod I got error 7 and it said to wipe the system which i did and still got error 7. (I did not realise at this time the stock firmware needed to be updated to marshmallow before installation) so I wiped the files again and didn't realise until it was too late I had system checked. Now I can access TWRP, but I can not figure out how to install any firmware on the device.
- I have tried multiple stock firmwares
- I have tried the forced update and fastbootloader methods
- I have tried manually installing the files using TWRP
I had a backup file, but unfortunately did not back it up to my pc before wiping my system, stupid and a noob mistake I know.
If anyone has a Nandroid backup of the stock system that would be fantastic (If you can use a same model, but different devices backup)
Any Ideas? Is there an old version of cyanogenmod i could install without any O.S. on the device and would this allow me to update to the newer cyanogenmod?
Would really appreciate any assistance.
Thank you
Easiest way IMO would be to download stock firmware, put it on sdcard in dload folder.
Turn off the phone. Press and hold Vol_ & Vol+, press power button. Huawei firmware update will start. You'll have stock firmawer without root and twrp.
That's why I always keep, stock firmware on sd card in dload folder so can quickly flash stock firmware if something goes wrong

[Q]E988 Boot certification verify

I have kitkat 4.2.2 stockbase, rooted, trying to install cwm but stuck in the secure booting error boot certification verify.
Previously i installed rom manager app and flash the cwm from the app. After reboot to recovery, only stock recovery that showed, then i reboot to system, install freegee in order to flash the cwm but fail as freegee doesnt support gpro kitkat.
After that i install gpro kitkat recovery and flash the cwm from the app, success, reboot to recovery but stuck on the error.
I uninstalled rom manager and freegee, but still no luck to get the flashed cwm recovery,stuck in secure booting error.
Any suggestion or thread reference? Why is very difficult to install custom rom on this device?i plan to install carbon rom :crying:

Btw looks like you are the only person that still active in this thread...really appreciate it...thank you very much
You're complicating it too much, to be honest
Just do it this way:
1. flash stock 4.1.2 and keep it that way
2. root, install Freegee, install initial recovery (twrp, cwm, doesn't mater), update it to TWRP from forums (2.8 version is preferred)
3. you're ready to flash create stock backup and flash roms.
If I remember, all those changes are already implemented in both SlimLP and Carbon. Slim has newer kernel and gpu drivers, and that's it.
So you are saying i just flash the rom as is without any further change?Noted shady...i will inform you the result

Ive tried your suggestion with the following result:
a. Flash to stock 4.1.2 (v10e) : success but then the master file i downloaded is gone
b. Root, install freegee, initial recovery: success
c. Update to twrp 2.8 using twrp manager: success
d. Flash to Carbon: fail, canot enter recovery mode with message secure booting error,boot certification verify
So i just rollback to kitkat stock

So, you can't boot TWRP at all? It seems that TWRP you installed isn't lokified. Are you sure you've installed TWRP 2.8? I remember flashing it directly via flashify on my device and it worked.. Also, check TWRP thread for lokified zip, I think someone posted that.
Edit: you see now why almost everyone abandoned this device

After installing freegee's twrp, reboot to recovery. Then, it might be OK.
After that, reboot system and use flashify, the free version will do.
You can either choose to download the file or chose from your internal / external memory.
I'm using the latest version TWRP 3.0.2.0.
If it doesn't work at first, go back to start and try again...

Thanks for respond, i have to download the jb stockbase again as the file used for lg flash tool is missing, looks like flashtool keep it somewhere...btw, when i use flashtool to flash the jb stock (offline mode), it.doesnt complete 100%, at 99% device was successfully boot and normal but state in flashtool screen is 99% and message to.retry is showned up.
Fyi, after flashed to jb, i cant execute fastboot flash command, the result is waiting for any device, but adb devices command return expected result. Enable debugging setting is already checked also.
Quiet interesting this device...salut to programmers of this device...

G Pro doesn't support fastboot commands (or is really limited in that field, I'm not sure what to say/think), due to some mess LG made. Mine didn't even want to 'adb reboot bootloader', it simply rebooted device back to system, and was pain in the ass for many things because It has custom download mode, it has custom boot sequence, everything is locked down... everything is different from everything else you're used to. Thank God back then a+b OTA system didn't exist, we'd never get any AOSP support not...
Do as g0at1 said - flash TWRP from Freegee, boot it to make sure it works, reboot back to system and flash newer TWRP from Flashify or any other tool like that one. I did have E988 (just Taiwan variant), and never had that much issues, nearly every time it was a straightforward 'flash JB KDZ, root it manually, Freegee, newer TWRP, backup, flash ROM', and trust me, that one was "revived" many times.
In the end, if even that doesn't help, flash CWM from Freegee, and update it with Philz Touch for E980. I think it will support Lollipop ROMs without any issues, just don't ever boot directly into it if you're not ready to mess with dd from recovery mode - always use adb.

This device was one of the hardest devices to work with... and I had Note N7000 with bad MMC which nearly bricked five times running unrooted stock firmwares Samsung provided. And Tegra-based Galaxy S2 clone with many hardware and software issues on stock... And many nameless devices with chips made by "big" vendors, like Allwinner, Rockchip etc which got some older CyanogenMod version builds with some or even complete success... And I never, never had that much issues porting stuff to any of these above, as I had with G Pro. Heck, working on a overclocking and underclocking for G Pro took me nearly two months of coding, testing, scratching everything off and starting from the beginning to just get it to some functional level and make it work as intended... and when I look at that code, I still have a feeling that it isn't completed and that some fixes are still necessary. I won't even start with GPU issues, I've spent more time than I'd like to admit on patching sessions.

1. Flash to stock that i still have v20c 4.4.2
2. Reboot to stock recovery then reboot to system
3. Run roottool.kitkat batch script (found from http://www.gadgetstroop.com), reboot to recovery, sideload installation of root script with result success
4. Reboot to system, run Root Checker to ensure device has been rooted
5. Install cwm recovery with GPro Kitkat Recovery 6.0.4.4 with result success
6. Reboot to cwm recovery success and do nandroid backup
7. Reboot to system, install flashify, download latest twrp official 3.0.2 and flash it using flashify: success
8. Reboot to recovery, now the recovery become twrp
9. Install package Carbon 5.1 unofficial: fail with message "cant install this package on top of incompatible data"

I use SlimLP for a long time because it's the only one that works smoothly for me. You might not have any trouble flashing it Through the latest TWRP.
Have fun!
