There is more and more new users coming to G3 and most of them have the same questions. This is a small FAQ about most frequent questions. I will update FAQ from time to time with new questions.
Q1: How many models are outhere?
Many. HERE is the list so check here.​​
Q2: How do I make an EFS and MODEM backup?
In recovery. Flash TWRP recovery and choose EFS in backup. I would suggest you to make EFS backup before you do anything on the phone.
Or use this method and make flashable EFS backup.​​
Q3: How do I root my phone?
There are few methods. Choose one that is for your variant. Purple Drake, Stump Root, IOroot.
Check this spreadsheet to see with what tool you can root your model.​​
Q4: How do I flash custom recovery?
Download recovery from HERE and flash it with FLASHIFY APP.
Or use ADB command explained HERE.
Besides mentioned recovery you have philz with OG Clockworkmod and TWRP with modem support.​Q5: Where can I find stock firmware image?
You can find it HERE. Just type your IMEI.
Or HERE thanks to hyelton.​Q6: How do I unroot my phone?
Just flash the stock firmware. Follow THIS GUIDE.​​
Q7: How do I enter recovery mode?
Power off the phone. Press Volume down and power button. When you see LG logo, keep holding Volume Down, release Power and quickly press it again.
You will be asked to questions and choose YES on them (do not worry, factory reset will not happen) and congrats, you are in recovery.​​
Q8: What ROM should I download?
Check index HERE. Thanks benkxda.​​
Q9: How do I install a certain ROM?
Make sure it is for your model, download it, place it on phone storage, boot into recovery, do a nandroid backup and then wipe the system. And least press install and choose ROM.​​
Q10: I am on rooted/stock Lollipop. How do I get back to Kitkat?
If you have nandroid backup just flash nandroid backup. Or flash stock firmware and see number 6. question.​Q11: Can I convert one model to another (example: D852 to D855)?
NO! Do not try to do that.​​
Q12: My IMEI disappeared. What should I do?
Restore EFS backup. It is explained HERE.​​
Q13: Where is Flashlight on stock ROM?
There isn't one. Use PowerToggles or some other toggle app.​​
Q14: How to get rid of battery fully charged notification?
See my trick HERE.​​
Q15: How to root stock Lollipop?
You can't. You will have to revert to stock firmware, root the phone and flash some prerooted Lollipop ROM.
EDIT: We have a method now. Method is not that easy: New Root Method for LG Devices, but there is one click method for all variants..​​
Q16: How do I enter Download mode?
Power off the phone. Plug the USB cabel and press and hold Volume Up. Download mode will appear.​​
Q17: Can I get small navigation bar on Lollipop?
Yes you can. Check HERE.​​
Q18: Can I still receive and install an OTA on my rooted device?
If you are on stock ROM there is a chance you will get notification about update but you will not be able to install it successfully. To install it you will have to unroot the device and go back to fully stock.​​Q19: My PC won't connect to the phone by USB, what do I do?
Make sure you have the correct drivers installed and that USB Debugging is enabled. And always try other ports on your PC.​​Q20: My battery is draining fast. What should I do?
Monitor your battery with Gsam Battery Monitor or BetterBatteryStats and Wakelock Detector to find out what is draining your battery. After you find out uninstall or freeze that app/process.​​Q21: How to access camera when screen is off?
Press and hold volume down button (works on stock ROMs only).​​

Kernel Panic
I tried searching this one with no success:
What is kernel panic? I see it on the CM thread. I know it cannot be something good.
Thanks.

Basically when kernel can not boot properly or crashes during it. It can happen due to hardware fault or bad software.
I believe this is the most easier way to explain.

different version and network
Hi. I take it any question mean just that. Here goes. I have posted a thred for this but no replies.
Here in the UK we only get the 2 gig version. I want a 3 gig version from out the UK. What lg g3 32gb 3 gig would work in the UK from out of the UK? I want it the same as the UK version in every way except more ram. Little bloatware would be nice also.
There are so many lg versions it's left me stuck. I'm on ee network.
Kind regards rick

You can get 32GB version in UK also. For example you can get it from Mobicity.
Here it is: LG G3 32GB
They even have dual sim version.
You can always also go on Ebay.co.uk.
You need D855 version. That is international version.

Oh I didn't know that. That's great thanks!!

Updated with more links.
This weekend I will add little FAQ in third post.

Guess no one needs unique help topic. Rather opens new topic
Too bad

Sent from my SM-G900F

- Turn off the phone.
- Press volume down and power
- when you see LG logo quickly press power button again (remove finger from it and press it again) and hold
- it should boot into recovery

Android Noob Question
I am pretty much an Android Newbie. I had a nook Color that I put CM7 on a long time ago but never really used it for anything (still have it collecting dust). I have my first Android Phone (LG G3) and now Im really trying to get into the mix of things. But as a newb I have a handful of questions that probably could be answered pretty quickly. So here goes ...
1) Power on delay - sometimes when I tried to power on the phone it seems like I have to press for 5 seconds other times 10 or so. Is that normal?
2) Flashlight? - I didnt see a flashlight in by default. There are some one the store but I read somewhere that there was an LG one? Can someone point me to that?
3) Is there an App/shortcut to do multiple things (such as for getting into the car - disable wifi/enable bluetooth - open Waze - Open music app)
4) Similar to (3) How can I make a shortcut icon to a particular webpage?
5) How about a shortcut to put the phone to sleep without having to take it out of the dock to press the button on the back.
Thanks for any answers you can provide.

Hi!
1. It is not normal I would say. To me, it is always the same, pretty short.
2. You will have to go for some 3rd party app to use phone as flashlight. For example this one, QSlide Torch. But most of custom ROMs have that feature, or it can be added with Xposed. Or Power Toggles.
3. There is, it is Tasker. One of the most powerful apps.
4. Would not know with built in browser because I do not use t, but for example with Dolphin Browser you can make webpage shortcut icon on your screen.
5. You mean normal locked state (deep sleep)? Double tap anywhere on the screen to unlock, and same to lock it, just double tap on homescreen (if you use 3rd party launcher press twice on status bar to lock it).

I had stopped feeling like a newbie until I started looking for my next upgrade. I'm on a Galaxy S3, and rooting/flashing was a snap. I rooted it with towelroot, downloaded CWM from the app, did my nandroid, and then it was on.
I'm on Sprint, so in a few weeks I'll be grabbing the ls990. I've been reading up on the limited choice of good devices Sprint offers, and none of them are established enough to root and flash as easy as it was with my S3. As much as I look, it keeps coming back to the G3 for me, so that's what I'm getting.
Things have been changing so fast over the past month, I've lost track of what I'll need to do once I get it after December 1st. If there aren't any major changes in the next 10 days, what will I need to do when I get my device? I only have experience with CWM, but it doesn't look like that's an option yet. I guess I need help knowing what to do in what order.
I'm confused about Stump Root. Do you get TWRP when you go through that process? Once I have root and recovery, do I create a nandroid the same way, by just doing a backup?
When all that's done and I flash a rom like Cloudy, will I still get OTA pushes? Once I did all that with my S3, I never got notifications for them, but it sounds like they will still come with the G3.
That's a lot. Sorry about that!

Hello,
I have just upgraded mine to Lollipop 5.0 and I see the Guest mode enabled by default. There is no Guest mode options in Settings to turn it off. I knew how to setup Guest mode when I was using 4.4, but not with this 5.0. Probably I missed somthing?
Could someone give me some directions please, thank you very much.

To gain root it is pretty simple on Sprint. You can root it with Stump root method like you said.
I have not used that method so I do not know if you will get recovery, I believe you will not so you will have to flash recovery with app called Flashify. You can get it from playstore, but before you will have to get correct recovery image and put it on your phone storage.
Recovery image can be downloaded here: http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lg_g3/bump/
You can also use command line to flash recovery: http://www.droidviews.com/install-twrp-recovery-on-lg-g3-all-variants-using-bump/
Nandroid backup is created in recocery under "backup" section. It will backup your current setup (rom, apps, and all on system).

I am on AOSP ROM so I can not check but it should be in settings (multiple account/guest mode).
View settings as list, that should be easier to find it.

@mjjcb - forgot to answer on last question. Once you flash custom rom you will not be able to receive OTA updates. To receive official OTA you will have to gobl back to stock firmware.
And always before flashing make sure that your phone version is supported by that rom.

Hi, I've been searching but eden with the great info here it is easy to miss gotcha. I'm looking to buy a G3 for me and a G2 for the wife, preferably a Tmo or other US GSM carrier version. With the Tim version or Bump, can the current custom recovery installers install TWRP even if the current phone owner has flashed whatever the latest OTA is? Thanks!!

I'm interested in this as well. Does flashing your rom restore BIONZ processing, making all the steps in the linked thread un-necesarry?
Also, anyway to check if BIONZ is working or not?

I'm currently on a locked bootloader so I can't verify if it'll work without having to flash an ftf with TA beforehand. Best thing to do is try it yourself.
If x-reality is working, bionz is working.

I flashed this ROM and my Z1 does not boot at all. When i press the power button, it vibrates once and that's all.
I flashed a stock rom, re-installed recovery and created a pre-rooted zip based on the SG customized firmware. The result was the same. Black screen, no sign of activity.
Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong here?
My device is a C6903 and worked just fine with the pre-rooted .242
Thanks!

facing problems...
After i do google and further debloat... dun even have app store to install my apps. I also unable to add my google account at Settings > Accounts...
Its great to have a RAM free rom... but what the point of having so much ram when there's nothing else u can do with the phone. I did try installing Google Play Store apk but it just simply crashes...
Please dun be offended as I still feel this ROM is a well done rom, I might just missed out something.

The google debloat is only optional. If you don't flash it, you'll get to keep the play store.
I personally don't use the play store and download my apps from apkmirror or evozi

Okay, can share more what does further debloat do? I can do that without google debloat right?

Further debloat removes some of the bloat that I forgot to remove from the main rom itself and also the setup wizards. So make sure to use it only after booting your device and going through the setup.

Yes.

I've tried flashing this twice and have ended up softbricking twice. I think the issue may be because of the wiping of system, which I have honestly never had to do before, so I'll try once again, and if it doesn't work I guess I'll just find something else.
EDIT: Yep, nothing I do seems to really be working, probably just getting bad downloads on my end though.

compatible with c6902?
Is this compatible with xperia z1 ,c6902?

Flashed without issues coming from CM12.1 (the terrible, terrible photo-quality and some in-call sound issues recently always make me return to stock). I just took care to follow instructions and flash a pre-rooted .2.4.2 rom prior to flashing this.
The rom feels really really smooth, it's lovely so far.
edit: One issue thus far is some incompatibility on the Play Store, for instance Galaxy On Fire - Alliances. I can download it on any rom (CM/stock) except this one. Anyway to fix this?
edit2: Are dpi values changed for the launcher? I've tried a couple of xposed modules but I can't seem to get rid of that empty edge. The grid size is weird... it's like 4x4 but really crowded, with nasty-looking empty margins.
I tried a couple of apps to change dpi values to default, but they wouldn't read current dpi and no new values could be applied. Maybe this is linked to the Play Store incompatibilities.

How must I install it? Always I installed it (from official .242 and .270 too with RockZ1 Kernel) I had many bugs on this ROM, please help me

I fond the solutions for my problems. I test Fastboot at It work. When Power Off, press Volume Up and connect the USB Cable, then I can detect my phone with command: fastboot devices
After that, using Flashtools and install any FTF source with Kitkat 108, then flash it using Flashtools at computer PC. Prepare downloaded FTF files about 1 GB size at the same computer drive, then run Flashtools and then connect Press Volume Down and connect with USB cable, after that Flashtools display will show that my phone detected / connected, and continue with flashing FTF files, the process about 10 minutes less, and after finish flashing, disconnect USB cable, press Power button and YES it work again.
After that I have to install again with TWRP and install any Stock preroot firmware.

if you're still on this rom, you can change the dpi in /system/build.prop look for lcd_density and change it to 480 (original value). only thing i can think of for incompatibility is maybe an out of date play services

I have never installed a custom rom and would like to know the best 7.0 for the G3

Ok so I have rooted cheap $10 phones that I don't care about, but not my G3. I have the t-mobile LG G3 and would like to know what the best mod is for performance since it is getting a bit slow. I want 7.0 since it is new and fresh. I want to know how safe this is and how easy and most importantly the instructions. Thanks in advance for your help.

i have the international variant, D855, i'm using resurrection remix, i believe it's the stablest one that gathers as many tweaks as possible.

first, you have to root your device, there are many variants (d855, d851, d850 ...), check what's yours, and look for how to root it in here or YouTube for clearer tutorials, you'll have to install TWRP recovery too, for this you'll need Autorec, check this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/apk-flash-twrp-autorec-thanks-to-t3081396 , pay attention to what android version you're using, download the appropriate version for your android (5.1 LP, 6.0 MM).
now head to resurrection remix download page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/resurrectionremix/files/?source=navbar , look for your device and download the rom, next, you'll need the google apps zip, head to Opengapps (just google it and click the first link, their website), choose these parameters : "ARM", "7.1", "Pico", and hit download.
move the two .zip files (the rom and the gapps) to your external memory card, and reboot your phone to recovery:
1- turn off your phone.
2- press volume down and power simultaneously till you see the phone booting (LG logo), release the two buttons for one second or two, and press them again till you see a factory reset page, just press yes as it'll take you to the recovery, assuming you've already installed the TWRP recovery, if it's not installed, pressing yes will RESET YOUR PHONE)
in the recovery, select wipe (and wipe (cache, data, BE CAREFUL NOT TO WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE, as it's your phone's storage and you may lose your photos ...etc. unless you backed them up and you know what you're doing).
after you finish the wiping process, head to install, and select the zips in your external memory card, and flash them (select the zip, hit install, confirm by swiping from left to right), the same procedure applies to google apps file. after that reboot your phone and let it settle, it may take up to five min at first boot. once you see the welcome page, you're done.
I’m sorry for replying so late, I was busy these last two weeks, but I’ve noticed that XDA’s dear members have already took care of you, anyway, I’m still here if you need any further explanations.

Dude I got it rooted already and installed OctOS. This guide is really good though and thanks. I got the Gapps and I got the rom and that stuff. I had a question though. I was not told to move my stuff to an SD card and I didn't and I just flashed it in TWRP recovery. Second of all I wanted ask I also was told to flash MR_Bump after flashing the ROM and Gapps which allowed the device to boot. IDK if that is normal. I have D851. Lastly, is my device still rooted? Or do I need to install something and how easy is it to switch roms, since idk if oct os is my thing since it has weird icons and the camera only does 1080p

I’ve never been told about that MR_bump, i don't know if it's something special to the D851 variant, or it depends on the rom you're using, but anyway, I’ve never used it to make my phone boot, when encountering a bootloop, either I reflash the same rom, if the problem persists, I flash my backup (or any other OS since the problem is the rom I was trying to flash) or I, simply, go back to stock via LGFlashtool.
switching between roms is as easy it seems, you download the rom.zip, the gapps (if needed), you go to the recovery, flash them both, and reboot, that's all. Sometimes you'll have to flash the modem/radio files before flashing a new rom, this problem usually occurs when you switch from stock to aosp (android open source project) roms.
and you should know that the root depends on the rom too, for example, using a stock based rom (Fulmics ...) would require flashing an additional zip to get root privileges, unlike aosp based roms, like cynaogenMod, "lineage", or resurrection remix which I’m currently using, they usually use an implemented root app, it's accessible in "developer options".
I’m not a camera guy though, even if the camera in this phone doesn't deserve a bad software, I admit that LG stock roms offer the best rendering when it comes to taking shots/shooting videos, but they suck at heavy tasks and multitasking, and they usually cause the phone to heat up, besides, I kind of like the aosp interface (like nexus devices), that's why I gave up on camera, after all, it isn't that bad on resurrection remix, so no big deal.

Ok I might try RR soon and I think for me I just would install it and I have gapps. Do I have to put them on the sd card? Why do people do that? Also, I found an app called opencamera that is pretty good, but idk the G3 is the best camera I have

people usually put them in the sd card to wipe everything (internal storage, data, cache) and start fresh.
i tried open camera, wasn't pleases by the results, so i'm just using the stock camera that comes with the RR rom.

[ROM] d2att LineageOS Unofficial 14.1 WhenICanlies

Hit the thanks button and Enjoy. Any problems let me and others here know. Dirty flash the updates NOT the initial flash of this rom but the updates to it. As of 9-3-18 i will be switching to Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver, that being said i do not know if i will have to change anything or do anything different to keep pushing these updates out but i will most definitely try to keep them coming.

Rom Zip = flash this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939835046, Gapps, and SuperSU
after the rom has booted up install root browser and navigate to the the ROM zip, extract build.prop in system folder and replace the one in your new root/system folder with it and reboot your phone.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939836755
its got root built in but, If you are updating and already had supersu then you will have to flash the supersu zip anyways or it will say the binary is occupied. If you are not updating all you need is to install the supersu.apk . Data and SIM is working. After the rom boots up and you have root and a root browser replace the phones system/build.prop with the one in this zips system/build.prop and reboot. follow this process if there are any future updates.

Yeah thanks, been running NJ2 for a long time. I'll look into some things soon.

Has anyone tried the settings/system profiles/default/settings I noticed that the default configuration is not setup so either turning system profiles off or configuring them accordingly may help. You may have to configure them then reboot. I wish I could help more but I can not being as I don't have a sim. I only use wifi on this phone.

I've flash this and still nothing. If you look closely into the settings, I've manage to have a signal because I revert back to OCT N OS. Because I need to copy the lib-sec.ro from the working ROM and paste it to the Linage OS.

Disabled this setting and still nothing. Tried everything you've said. Replace the Lib-sec.ro, flash the NJ2 modem. still nothing. I've notice that baseband and IMEI is unknown at the Linage OS.

*#*#4636#*#* is a testing menu.

I have contacted lineage about the sim and data problem to see if they know what the deal is now its a waiting game. The other variants I have built for (d2spr,d2tmo) have no issues as of yet hopefully there will be a solution soon.

I have been up for days trying to figure out this problem. I believe I have found the solution, as i do not have a SIM i cant fully test but i did get the Rom to recognize the efs information. This is the process:
Rom Zip = flash this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939835046, Gapps, and SuperSU
after the rom has booted up install root browser and navigate to the the ROM zip, extract build.prop in system folder and replace the one in your new root/system folder with it and reboot your phone.
I did all that and included a screenshot in the previous post
please let me know how it worked for you you may still need to disable system profiles and work with the settings after the sim is recognized

Third install root browser navigate to root/system/build.prop and copy it onto your sdcard

Fifth after the rom has booted up open root browser navigate to the place where you copied the build.prop to and replace the one in your new root/system with it and reboot your phone. If sim still is not recognized flash the second links ROM zip and continue with the instructions.
I did all that and included a screenshot in the previous post

instead of installing the rom and copy the build.prop, can I just copy and past the build.prop from the zip? i think that will save a lot of time?

Before Starting This Process Get A USB2 Mini Hub You Are Most Likely Going Too Need It. Do Not Come In Here And Post This Is Not Working Until You Have Tried It With The USB2 Mini Hub!
You Must Start From Stock U Firmware. IT Seems To Be The Less Likely To Brick Your Device As Explained In The Disclaimer!​Disclaimer Please Read!!
This may brick your device there is a problem especially with s8 and note 8 models where the tz partition becomes corrupted and on some occasions after flashing combination firmware your phone will become bricked and as of now there is no way to fix it. There is no way to predict if it will happen. It doesn’t seem too happen very often on s8+ but it does occasionally happen on the other 2 models so do this at your own risk. I would say it probably happens 10 percent of the time on s8 and note 8 especially when on bit 6 or higher firmwares. S8+ it rarely happens too but it still may. If you take the risk and it happens do not pm me asking how to fix it as of time I posted this there is no way to fix it
Please Read Notes
OEM Toggle Does Nothing On US Model Phones
You will most likely need a USB 2 mini hub for Odin to work if using windows 8 or higher. I would temporarily disable windows defender or antivirus software while performing the procedure with your computer.
You cannot have root on any rom except a nougat rom also flashing custom boot images cannot be done or using systemless magisk. Hiding root or running modules cannot be done. There is no oem unlock and even if there is you cannot unlock your bootloaders or run any aosp based roms.
You can be on any firmware to achieve safestrap but to run a rooted rom you will be limited to using a special nougat android 7 rom. You can have safestrap on pie android 9 which gives you some ability to modify system files flash zips etc and have access too data and other partitions that are normally blocked but you can not run root on android 9 because root on android 9 requires a modified boot image
Anything here with a .7z extension will get unzipped before using
Anything here with a .zip extension will get flashed a zip in safestrap

so if i remain at nougat i should be able to flash custom roms? Also, i'm currently facing "no service" problem on my g995u. Any ideas if going back to nougat would rectify the issue?

Rooted Nougat Rom​
This is last nougat rom made for S8 it is prerooted with flashfire and safestrap preinstalled. It has CSC stuff for all carriers added. Its debloated slightly with knox removed. Some stuff may not work but im not sure as I cannot test but this stuff may include fingerprint and or face recognition. If stuff doesnt work it probably related to using pie modems and non-hlos on a nougat rom which you have no choice.​
Downloads
system_s8plus_brb1.7z
BL_G955_NOUGAT_V7.tar.7z
Includes Fingerprint and Face Unlock fix for above nougat rom. Just flash in BL slot in odin after everything else
Magisk_System-v20.4.zip This is system magisk not the normal systemless magisk so magisk hide and modules will not work!
SuperSU_System.zip
Safestrap-4.12-T01-DREAMQLTE_PIE.zip Will boot straight to safestrap only for pie roms
Safestrap-4.12-T01-DREAMQLTE_NOUGAT.zip Will Give you the safestrap splash screen on boot
Directions
Safestrap Method
1. Extract system.img from the system_s8plus_brb1.7z and copy to phone also copy either SuperSu_System.zip or Magisk_System-v20.4.zip reboot to safestarp and flash system image
2. Flash either SuperSu_System.zip or Magisk_System-v20.4.zip
3. Reboot to download and flash BL_G955_NOUGAT_V7.tar.md5 in odin
4. If you get constant rebooting to safestrap flash Nougat safestrap zip while in safestrap
Non Rooted Pie Rom With Safestrap Can Be Found Here

i was on a g995u1 firwmare(bootloader v7) although i was having issues with "no signal". i thought maybe if i follow your guide to return the rom back to nougat my network would return to normal.
i only flashed this file "BL_ENG_BOOTLOADERS_SAFESTRAP_G955U_V7.tar.md5".
ps. i did tick the "nand erase" in odin.
the flash completed but my phone went black and did not reboot again.. i disconnected hoping to get it back to download mode again but nothing was working. i have tried using volume down and power keys but this only causes the a little part of the screen to flicker for less than a second.
my battery was 99%. I dont have qualcomm drivers installed. i am installing one as we speak, i have seen some threads with similar issues like mine but no solutions.. thanks for your response..:crying::crying::crying:

It happens once in awhile for no reason. Nand erase may have had something too do with it. I never use nand erase except if going back too totally stock from a modified system. I responded too your pm. You’re phone can probably be fixed with edl files but you are going too have too take your phone apart and jump some test points to make phone enter edl mode

ive been searching for the edl points for the s955u but to no avail. ive taken apart my phone but cant find any reference online for the edl test points. i dont want to start testing randomly because something i have no idea about might happen..

I use to have pics and stuff but I lost them on a hard drive that failed. I can tell you they are on the bottom side of the board and you have to pry back a metal heat shield to get too them

You have to take board out and flip it over. The points are on the bottom side

OK, Thanks for the response. i see two large heat sinks with the larger one at the top and the smaller at the bottom. i assume the points would be hidden underneath the bottom sink. now i have to figure out a way to pry those metals off... so much work..lol..

Will this work on all V7 Bootloaders?
I am currently on DTF4 and noticed your on the Verizon page you posted for the DTB3 Bootloader. Thanks for your time and efforts.

Thanks this worked for me! Is there a guide on how to reverse everything if I wanted to make the phone normal again? Like it would be factory out of the box?

If anyone is thinking on updating phones now is the time. The method of unlocking bootloaders on US variants works one s10/s20 and n10/n20 phones. Read the whole article too get info and yes it works I have a bootloader unlocked sm-g975u s10+ with twrp and magisk installed.
