You shouldn't have any issue as both are stock firmware. follow method stated in this forum :fingers-crossed: You dont have to check OEM unlock to flash stock using lg up

lg has a locked bootloader, you can't just flash any recovery just because you have root.
i can link you the page where i explain the process but i'm not sure if you have to do something different if you've already tried to flash a recovery, you might want to check on that before you do this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/d852-d852-adding-stable-roms-mods-t2983476
that is an old link from a while ago so you also may want to double check the process still works on newer firmware.
err wait is d855 the model that comes unlocked? another thing to check is if you flashed the right recovery and not one for another model or something.

If you are looking for a solution then this is for you..
I already posted a solution for this in some other post. Anyways.. what I did was flashing the correct recovery img for the model. Fastboot is seen only if you flash wrong recovery img file. After flashing correct img file, then you can download any custom roms and try them on your phone.. Still you need help, PM me. I will do my best to resolve your problem.:good:

You flashed wrong recovery img. Because may be your board is not d855.it might be some other like d850. To make sure.Open your phone and see it on the board. Then flash the correct recovery of your model.

OMG thanks, you guys! I was scammed though saying it was a D855. Howecer I have TWRP now. Please tell me how do I flash any MM custom rom that's close to stock. Should I flash a LL rom first? Also are there vendor images to be flashed for MM?

So far,Fulmics is the best Custom Rom I have faced. If you have d850,MM stock is not yet leaked to flashed.
But d851 and d855 MM Stock Roms are everywhere in this forum to flash.

I bet the phone you are using is not D855 running on kitkat v10n. The phone shows D855 because it is the D855 based rom.. Actually your phone is different model. Just approach any mobile repair centre and ask him to open the phone to check the motherboard. After opening at top right, u can see the model number of the phone. So better dnt mess with ur phone till u find the correct model number because ur phone may end up in hard brick. So after finding the correct model number, u can follow same old procedure to install TWRP and enjoy flashing roms. Sorry for late reply. If u need any other help, PM me bro

Hey, thanks a lot for your help bro. Your posts helped me a lot. Only after reading that the Fastboot error shows up if a wrong TWRP is flashed is when it knocked me that this phone must have a different board and, holy Moly, turns out to be D850, I then flashed the TWRP for that and it's cool now. Please let me know if you know if there's a way to get LTE working here in India, bud. Cherrs. Thanks a ton for your help.:highfive:

I am glad you got your phone alive. Never checked LTE on fulmics but d850 bands do function in Asia. I had LTE working on KitKat and I am sure LTE will also on Fulmics.

Flashing lineage os with locked bootloader

hi just to ask has anyone here manage to flash lineage os on locked bootloader?cos the new firmware has multi window and so tempted to try it.
Personally, I hardbricked the phone even with doing proper guide... Sending it back since still wararnty..
If anyone else have different result perhaps can help?
Right now I'm using LineageOS with locked bootloader. I think if you want to use with locked bootloader, don't flash the firmware provided by nijel8.
thanks for the replies but already unlock bootloader and flash lineage os best rom so far

If you are not the MIUI fan, then Lineage by nijel8 is the best option to go. I am on locked BL, and so far is OK!

Yes,you can flash other roms or other stock variety but you should not have to downgrade bootloader as it will hard brick your device.

I would recommend you to downgrade to Nougat first - flash everything except gpt and bootloader to avoid hardbrick. Also don't run erase modem commands, they will erase your IMEI in this case. Then, make sure that fingerprint is working with Nougat StockROM. If it does, try to install CustomROM.

Glad to help you.
Just one more thing to mention: don't even try to install OTA updates (in case you stay on StockROM). Here's why. Your bootloader's version is B8.31 now, but phone is "still" running Android Nougat (I guess). Oreo OTA updates the bootloader from B8.25 to B8.31, but since yours bootloader is already updated to B8.31, OTA would try to make a changes, which were already made and break the whole "structure" of bootloader. This would end up most probably in hard brick.
If you'd like to revert back to official Oreo someday, install it using fastboot method. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/how-to/official-oreo-8-1-0-opp28-85-16-t3849244). Even you will most probably loose all of the data, it seems to be the only one safe way to update back to Oreo after downgrading to Nougat.
