Dear All,
I have purchased LG F180 handset today in used condition. The previous user had VDT Rom-Choi Installed in it with android jelly bean 4.1.2 version and phone is having root access that I checked from root checker. Now I want to install Sling ROM version 2.2.2 but below are some issue which I came across while playing with my phone.
1. When I downloaded freegee from play store it is saying my device is not supported. Whereas when I checked from imei.info page below are the results;
Model: Swift G F180
Brand: LG
However the seller confirms me that It is F180L model
2. I am unable to get in Fastboot/revovery mode, I tried volume up+power button but nothing happen LG logo blink twice and device powered off. Then I restarted my device and back to the home screen.
As per the guides available Here we can unlock boot loader and install CWM by freegee.. as mentioned below;
6.Q: How do I unlock the bootloader?
A: It’s easy, using FREEGEE app from playstore. Both free and donate apps work.But I suggest using the paid app, to thanks Shelnutt2 for his wonderful work. He deserves a beer.
The reason of buying this handset is this ROM... I have purchased this handset with so much hope.. But when I came across to the above mentioned things.. I am a bit worried.. Please help me resolve this.. so I can able to get the ROM which I liked most.
First of all your bootloader is already unlocked you can't flash a custom rom with locked bootloader so if you have vdt you are unlocked the best thing to do is download cwm manager from playstore and flash cwm if nothing happens you should consider flashing kds for installing the original software back again and start from scratch root phone using framaroot and unlock bootloader using freegee then you‘ll have the latest mako bootloader unlocked and the latest custom recovery cwm or twrp and you could flash anything you want.
Thank you soo much.. I have done it

If you f**ed up the download mode, y'u must try flash via fastboot nicely. I don't have much time now, but y'u find this method on xda, it's work for this models probably. You also need the kdz extractor to unpack firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600575. Remember to use the Verizon version of firmware.
I can wait you it you free time because i don't try by myselt the flashboot not recognising my phone i feel my phone is hard brick thk for answer
Hello guys,
I have a LG G3 d855 EUR (i live in Italy) stock firmware V30c-EUR-XX, no root, no custom rom.
Since i'm pretty new to Android modding, i want to ask for your help because i would install the best custom rom available for my device.
So, which is the best rom? Can i have a step by step tutorial for rooting my device and installing the rom?
I would like to maintain the stock camera quality, i've heard that custom roms may decrease the overall photos quality.
Thanks in advance, i really appreciate your help. :good:

Hello, since this is General.. Question shouldn't post here but anyway, have you heard Fulmics? It is developed by xpirt and will transform your G3 to G5..
You can use that ROM because it is the most reliable ROM i'll ever use on my G3.. Don't worry about the camera quality since it is stock based ROM, you won't lose anything..
Please note that my G3 is korean variant ( F400L ) and not international ( D855 ).. So my choices is a bit limited here.. Don't worry tho because Fulmics support most variant of G3's..
Let's Start!
How to root? First you need to go back to Lollipop, How? If Sony, there is Flashtool but with LG, we can use LGUP and flash the stock kdz/tot there.. Please download the right kdz for your device btw..
And there is many ways to root such as Kingroot or OneClick..
Note that, if you're using Kingroot.. Don't mind about their bloatware because we're going to update to Marshmallow anyway..
After it is done, you need to install TWRP.. You're so lucky because there are many way to install TWRP and the most easiest way is using AutoRec
( BEWARE, IF YOU INSTALLED THE WRONG VARIANT FOR YOUR DEVICES..THIS MAY LEAD TO HARD BRICK! )
AutoRec can be downloaded from Playstore, you need to find the right one for example.. You got D855, so you need to download Autorec Lollipop for D855.. Don't install the one for F400 or else, goodbye to your G3 forever.. Yup, easiest way can be the most risky way to go..
While busy with rooting and installing recovery, download the ROM you want.. As example, download the latest Fulmics 6.9 ROM for G3 and transfer it to root directory of your SD Card..
After you have TWRP installed, boot to TWRP.. If you found it is hard to boot to recovery with those stupid combination key.. Just download an apps called ... Boot.... hmm.. whatever it is.. I'll forgot, just find an apps that can help you boot to recovery easily i guess..
If you succeed to boot to recovery, congratulation.. Now do wipe data cache and install the ROM ( Fulmics 6.9 as example ).. After that, reboot the device and enjoy!
Since my G3's is already dead a long time ago ( bluescreen and flicker ), that's all i can help by typing all of this using my G4.. Goodluck!

Are you sure there is no QFUSE which is blown when you downgrade? Because i've read and heard about it. It's dangerous to downgrade, someone got stuck on 5% and had the secure boot error which is an indication of QFUSE.

The downgrade is mandatory for rooting the device, right? Is there a root for Android 6.0 too? :/
I'm a bit confused...

I've done that a lot of time with my G3.. No QFUSE problem here and this is the first time i've heard that.. What is QFUSE?

I am not aware of any root method for V30 based roms but there could very well be.

QFUSE was supposed to be a downgrade protection which triggers when someone flashes in download mode a version of android lower than the current one. I have no idea why, if you access the hidden menu, and find DRM, you find QFUSE there. It was supposed to, like said before, be a fuse which is triggered by a downgrade.
Hi guys,
I just want to know if it is safe to go back from ZUI-2.5.334(Chinese) to 2.0.093(Indian)
I do not have any custom recovery or root, i am planing to go back using QFIL.
this link if it is helpful.
http://thinkflag.blogspot.in/2017/04/lenovo-z2-plus-official-nougat-update.html
I rolled up with QPST and it was fine, i am now with the Indian ROM (ZUI 2.0.093). These Chinese phones are amazing hard brick is a joke with them (on LG and Samsung its a nightmare trust me. I had a really long nightmare with LG phones especially the G2 where you need to short pins on the motherboard and with the famous LG G4 where i was inventing a solution :crying: :crying: :crying: )
In my opinion, you unlock bootloader first, then you flash custom recovery. Now, you can flash any rom over recovery.
I had bricked my LG K8 2017 x240 phone while trying to install custom rom. As a matter of fact the custom rom did not installed and I did not have a backup. I have searched the whole internet but could not able to find the right Stock Rom. The one I found was the KDZ that can be used with LG UP tool. But the phone was hard bricked and I was not able to get the download mode working on the phone.
The only option was to connect the phone using MTK USB Port and flashing the right stock rom with the right flash tool.
After searching and trying all the tools for two days, I came across this video and was able to download and flash the stock rom. youtubedotcom/watch?v=2hWNkRGR1Fw
The stock rom download link and sp flash tool link both are included in the description of the video.
I hope it helps someone like me who needed the stock rom for the LG K8 2017 (x240) model. Which is really hard to find on the internet.
Please let me know if that was helpful.
