[Q] Where is my G3 really from ?

Hello all, I have a question. I would like your opinion. I want to return my G3 to LG Official stock with OTA working etc, just like it was when I first bought it. So I'm looking to flash the proper and right kdz, but I came across a "problem" .
I have the International 16GB D855. The sticker on the box says that it's " 6SW(Switzerland) " , but when I'm searching on http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php the firmware based on my IMEI, it says that the firmware is 6ES ( Spain ).
So what firmware am I supposed to really flash? Is the IMEI one the right one since it searches the phone on LG's Servers?
But then again , the 6SW version hasn't gotten Lollipop update yet, the latest 6SW firmware is version V10L, while my G3 got the Lollipop OTA version V20F before I downgraded it, root and flashed it custom Firmware.
What is your opinion? Sorry for the long post and thank you very much.

You can flash any compatible EURO rom on to your device, like the latest German D855 rom ending with 20H. Link https://mega.co.nz/#!AMoUjCQY!llgH-KlTB4J0paynnnGpIq0ANCAEtXjmUvpx8G8ApQM and flash with LG Flash Tool.
BTW: did you backup your EFS folder?

when i open lg mobile support tool it says there is software upgrade do u want to upgrade?

OTA's can take longer to be available than the kdz (via PC Suite). upgrade if you want to. I'm not sure of the changelogs, but it'll be the typical bug fixes etc. if you're having issues where you are, perhaps it might be in your interest to upgrade

[Q] [V490] Has anyone updated the g tab 8 lte to lollipop?

Hi, I'm from Romania and everytime I check for new firmware in settings it doesn't find anything. Has anyone updated his V490 to lollipop? Any idea how to get the kdz file to update manually?

try using lg pc suite.
to see if there a kdz for ur variant and country follow this link (but change "XXXX" to ur imei/csn, check it under settings/hardware info):
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=XXXX
then follow the link below this line to download the kdz: <sw_url>

Thanks, for me shows version V49010B_00, so I guess I'll have to wait a little more because it's bought from Orange and it will surely take a long time. Can you provide the lollipop kdz link for your region so I could flash it manually?

How do I upgrade ("flash"??) from 5.0

My M5 E5653 still has Android 5.0. Software update, nor Xperia companion show new updates available. Does not seem like my carrier, Vodafone Australia, will be updating it anytime soon or at all.
I am not familiar with flashing, rooting, or what a bootloader is. To make it simple, Is there a way I can upgrade from Android 5.0 to whichever is the latest available for the M5?
Of course, if there is, I understand as someone who's not familiar with this, that is it at my own risk following instructions on how to do so

if xperia companions (restore firmware) not upgrade to 5.1
then see howto flash with flashtool

Thanks. Where can find that?? Not quite sure which other thread explains that for my situation

hi, sorry bad english, i just upgraded my phone, just download latest flasthool and firmware whith xperyafirm, create bundle but say yes when it ask use FSC script, and just install normaly

Your English was fine. Thank you for that help

EDIT

Flashed and working. Thanks for the help!!

[LG-H81220U] I want to downgrade from MM to LP so that I can root my LG G4 (H81220U)

Hello, I want to downgrade my LG G4 (Software Version: H81220U) from Marshmallow to Lollipop so that I can root my phone. Could anybody guide me to achieve a downgrade AND a root? My carrier is Telus/Koodo in case it's relevant information.
Thank you in advance

first you need to nkow if tou can as in some models antirollback changes and makes it imposible to downgrade. so first make sure that antirollback versions they are if the same then you may if different then youll hard brick phone.

Hi @syphlect
Did you manage to downgrade it?
Have searched all the forums, did not find a way to root the LG G4 H1220u Koodo version.
let me know if you found any links

Use ...
Use ... LGUP - NEW ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803 ) to downgrade from MM to LP. You want H81210 for your Lollipop KDZ. Once you've done that, you can install a pre-rooted image (easier) or root your own extracted KDZ. Note: You will not be able to obtain root through any of the Root-Apps - check out the link in the next paragraph for the general how-to for the H812, if you have not already done so.
Refer to [Canadian Guide] - Complete Source for the LG G4 H812. Linux VM/Root/Tools&Files at: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/canadian-guide-complete-source-lg-g4-t3212449 for the how-to on rooting the H812.
Follow the Root ANY LG G4 Variant 100% Success Directives | Root Injection | Less Bricks (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586) ONLY for installing the rooted image and use the command for the H812 model in the 2nd post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/...ot-lg-t3164765 found in the following box: Command to Flash System.img (All Variants):
Once done, because you still will have a locked bootloader, you will not be able to install a regular version of a custom recovery or flash a custom rom (that may come eventually when efidroid is managed to be ported to the locked LG4's). However, you will be able to install a non-regular version of a custom recovery with TWRP-in-FisH that has been tested on the H812 and is working just fine with Version 3 Beta 4 and 5 (you can find those links in the later posts in that site): [LOCKED][G4][TWRP][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP-in-FIsH for all locked G4 devices at https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/locked-twrpinfish-locked-g4-devices-t3573048
Good luck.

See if you can ... find KDZ's that that are particular to your region in the event there may be differences in bandwidths that are operational, etc.

Yeah could not find specific to koodo Canada. Need to see if its safe to go with something similar to it.
Also I see my current software version is H81220Z. It got updated overnight even though I un-checked to install updates automatically.
Will the LGUP process still work to downgrade?

Koodo is on the ... Telus network. You can use Telus KDZ's (doesn't specifically have to be H81210Z and they seem to be available (check the Canadian Guide) - others have indicated you can use other Canadian providers (read the Canadian guide). I can't confirm this personally.
Use LGUP-NEW for sure as you are less likely to brick from what I understand if an anti-rollback provision has been put in on the latest firmware upgrade.
