Hey guys, I was on lollipop ZVG and tot back to ZVE b/c it was causing all type of issues for me like when i flash roms and battery life and so on. I use my phone unlocked and ZVE seems to work great. So is ZVI better than ZVG? Thanks for the help in advance.
It has patches to fix the stage fright bug so it is a good idea to update.

Only major difference is the stagefright fix but there my be a few other little tweaks thrown in so it would be a good idea to update imo. Only downside is rooting it. If you want ZVI and root, there a several stock based roms that are prerooted but you need a custom bootloader to use them.
How I did it:
TOT to ZVE > OTA update to ZVG > avicoh one-click-root > bender007 ls980 twrp autorec > any stock based rom. I personally use ultrapop 2.1 which is zvi based and it's awesome.
The ls980 lollipop autorec is hard to find so let me know if you need a copy.

Hot of the TMO Cell Tower OTA 10r for D851.
D85110m_00-D85110r_00_update.zip 231MB
I'm guessing this isn't Android 5 (Not big enough).
Can one of you see what this is before I flash it on my rooted G3?
SR Remix ROM for the D851 is based on 10R so in a way we got it.
I know you can't take an OTA if one is rooted. You might lose your recovery. The other guys will know.

you can download the update but you cant install it cause you need the original files to match.......so worrying about the recovery image doesnt really matter. He wont get that far
any help rooting 10r version?
I was on rooted stock, then this update came in... Without thinking, I said install. It got as far as rebooting into TWRP and stopped. From then on, If I hit reboot, It would only go to recovery. Even if I flashed another rom.
Had to go through ADB and wipe the update folders.
So I suggest if you're rooted, dont install the OTA lol
But, I did use the above recovery safe rom, then re-rooted and re installed TWRP and was up and running again.
i need help here. here's my scenario. im using lg g3 d855 with kitkat 4.4.2. i got an OTA notification update to lollipop (v20b SEA), since im rooted i tried to flash this using the lg flash tool with the correct kdz file. i was able to update it to lollipop and everything seems fine; however since i find it pretty big(for dpi) and also not rootable yet, i tried to downgrade again to kitkat (v10k) and it went fine. i was able to root it using purpledrake l, then install twrp to revert back to my nandroid backup. so overall, everything went back to normal.
after 3 days, i decided to go thru to lollipop again
so i did the flashing of the update, but after all of this and during the initial setup, i noticed that mobile network isnt working. i tried to ignore this and just continue to finish the setup. after all is done, and im on the homescreen. i noticed that i dont have the navigation button. also when i tried to switch on the mobile network, it was grayed out. i tried all the possible method of reflashing back this lollipop updte(even redownloading a fresh copy of the kdz file), but to no avail.
question is how to flash back this lollipop update with all functions working?
any help will be much appreciated. sorry for the long story!

try flashing the modem you can find it in skin his chupa chup thread in android development(see first 2 posts)
thanks a lot! looks like it worked for me. i flashed the KK modem, then flashed chupachups ROM... now im in lollipop again with my root retained!
hey all,
My LG G3 D855 just got a new update found... V20F. I have 100% stock KitKat right now, V10o build, and its ROOTED.
If I do the software update automatically, will I lose root? Do I have to do anything like this whole bump thing etc? I just want Rooted V20F (Lollipop) and eventually I may put a rom on it... Am I ok? Or should I do something first?
thanks
If you want rooted Lollipop then dont do the update.
Flash TWRP and flash some prerooted Lollipop rom. That is the only way to have rooted Lollipop.
Hi guys,
I just picked up my G3 D85110m from T-Mo. I have a notification for a System Update ( I presume Lollipop) which I have not done.
I see that I can root using PurpleDrake-Lite and stay on KK or go to an L Rom.
I can also it seems update and then get root using this new method for rooting Lollipop.
Is there an advantage or disadvantage to either route?
Thanks for any feed back you can give.

Since it's on 10m, it's a safe bet that the update is to 10r which is not the Lollipop update we are all impatiently waiting on. You can root however you want but it's easier to root 10m and install a custom recovery and then flash the files for 10r in recovery.

Thank you for the reply. I will probably then use PurpleDrake and then Flashify to install TWRP before proceeding to install 10r files or another ROM.

First off.....I deal with Samsung devices and not very familiar with LG. Would like to get my wife's Sprint LG from ZVD to latest (assuming it is ZVG). I've spent some time reading forum posts and see plenty of "return G2 to stock" but it doesn't list what version of stock they are taking the device back too.
Assuming I have to get the bootloader and modem updated to lollipop, and use LG Flash Tool, what files do I need for this? Is there a stock 5.0.2 rom image somewhere?
Thanks.

If she is on zvd, and it is a Sprint phone on sprint network. It should automatically update. If it is not on sprint network, do not tot out go back to stock.
Use something like cloudy kit kat rom 2.2, or cm build. As you can set it up to work on the other network.(gsm)
Lollipop 5.0.2 there is no stock base on it. You would have to go to zve stock, then let it upgraded to zvg. Or sideload it.
There are too many changes to just flash a different ROM, and get to the latest.

Yes... It is a Sprint device on the Sprint network. The update has not been pushed yet and Sprint cannot help with getting it done. That is the issue. If there is no 5.0 base then there is no way to upgrade it manually then? Seems odd to me but guess it is what it is. Would think someone could pull the OTA from the device and upload so a base could be made.

Agimax made a stock based rom called ultra pop. But just going straight to it bricks. Firmware and partitions change, radio, and software.
Even going from his slimmed down version to stock messes up. I tried that going to cloudy 3.3.
You can stock to zve, and push the upgrade to zvg. There are the zvg upgrade zips sitting out here. But you can't just go to it I hear.
You also have to remember lollipop is on a different cache. The older versions were davlik and lollipop runs on art.
2 completely different things.
