Hi there!
Topic title is self explanatory.
Would like to know if anyone tried or know the answer for it.
Can I flash a stock firmware from a D855 to a D855P?
Mine LG G3 is D855P and come with the bloatware from the Carrier.
Thanks!

I'm on the same boat! Bought mine directly from TIM, here in Brazil...
I've read somewhere that the P letter refers to some kind of package bundle, like mine which came with the wireless charger... Just don't know it really is this way for sure...
Well, mine did come with the wireless charger as well.
Hope someone know the answer... My firmware version is 10a, from what I heard there are many improvements already on the newer ones.

That is an interesting question, and depending on the answer I will buy this phone. I think the fw is the same, since these model share the "D855" model.
Another question is: what is the worst scenario to try the flash? Maybe the phone will be in a bootloop, but flashing the right fw after will probably fix that
Maybe... But I'm afraid to brick it hahaha. Would like someone confirming it.
I'm with the same problem.
I think it's compatible, but I'm afraid of bricking it.

From this it looks like it's the same.. so it should work and not brick.
About the G3 TweakBox I can't say, mine is not rooted, so I can't try it.
My G3 is from Vivo as well, which root did you use?

ART?
I find another problem in my D855P.
I can´t change it from dalvik to ART... Can anyone do it?
Well I haven't tried, but I heard ART is having issues with LG G3... randomly turning off for example, what should be a incompatibility with LG code.

Totally agree, but some applications are having issues with that, Just like the others I need to know if it is safe to flash the d855 firmware in our d855p phones, my phone is from TElcel carrier in Mexico, I hope someone give us some light.
I managed to change from delvik to ART. my G3 is d855p from vivo.
Just really want to know about flashing...
I tried the Towelroot method and TWRP for D855 with success on my D855P v10a from Telcel (Mexico).
Mine ART is working well.

Since my build.prop says it is international D855...

I tried to flash SphinX G3 Neo V2.0 with TWRP method but the one described in the post should work as well.
Now I have my first custom rom.
Hope this info can help you... I'm not responsable for any damage you could do to your phone. Always backup everything (system,boot,efs,recovery) before trying this.
You must choose D855 and not another model.

btw mine one is SIM-unlocked from carrrier Telcel, I tried to put a Tuenti simcard and it works XD
I have rooted using PurpleDrake-lite, worked smoothly.
Installed Xposed Frameworks and G3 TweakBox, all working.
One interesting think I checked was when I installed G3 TweakBox, I installed it from PlayStore on my computer, and the phone is listed as BCP LGE-D855... so I guess it's safe to flash the stock firmwares from D855, as "badtzo" said he did on his one from Mexico.
Later I will try to flash the European, Unbranded 10E version to mine, will report results.
As said before, reporting results.
Tried to flash Europe-NoBrand 16gb 10E version from this topic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799647), using method described there (LGFlashTool), not succeeded, it won't flash as it accuses to be different model phone.
"badtzo" flashed using TWRP, and said he succeeded with a custom room, so I have a question for him before trying something else...

Can you check if your phone model is showing as D855 on about now? If it does, we might have a way there, flash SphinX G3 Neo V2.0 and later do what I couldn't succeed for stock updated version.

No, mine info on phone still remain saying it is D855P, but stock one and moded build.prop says is D855, also Pc Suite says is D855 but it download D855P10A_00.kdz (telcel one). I tried that specific rom because it can be flashed through recovery, I don't recommend to flash any firmware via KDZ until we can be 100% sure about compatibility otherwise you can mess the bootloader and brick your phone. By now just flash roms that doesn't modify anything with boot.
I won't try, as I don't have much experience with LG's.
Guess we will have to wait a little more, new custom rooms and some more information.
By the way how did you install TWRP? I had a quick look for it and looks like there is no official LG G3 version yet.

In general section is a post about tethered TWRP for D855 "only". Don't try to flash it, I did it and my phone was acting weird, just do the specified steps on the post, to boot not flash from it and you will be safe and don't forget to backup your recovery first.

Hi,
i do not know computers or mobile phones that well, recently i got my G3, its the korean version F400S.
i notice theres lots of bloatware , just wondering is it possible to flash to a different region stock rom like the D855 HongKong international version.
and yes i do have the 32gb version.
And if its possible, can i still get updates on the phone?
thank you
You cannot flash firmware for one model number with firmware for another model number. Any D855 software will not work on an F400 and vice versa.

I installed ROM VDT V6 on my F400K and now my software version has changed from F400K10g to F400L10g. I am afraid it might cause an issue later down the line esp in super user access. Any idea how to fix this?

Hello everyone!
I'm reading all the guides on the net but im confused.
I have a d855 vith v20a, and i want to install custom rom for remove the lag and other nice things.
BUT.
I've seen that lollipop isn't rootable so i have to Downgrade to kitkat and then use PurpleDrake, right?
And after this i have to flash with Flashify a Bumped TWRP?
I've download this file : D85510g_00.kdz. I have to flash this with LG FLASH TOOL 2014 Right?
Wich setting should i have to use with this program?
And..there isn't something like a bootloader to unlock or something?
Thank you a lot all.

It is important, to download the right firmware. Here is another site to choose from, hust to make sure its the correct one: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/
The correct settings are in the LG Flash tool thread, you don't need do divert from those.

All of them are named like that what you need to pay attention to is the prefix it has, which in your case will be either A6IT or AHIT (surprisingly with a country code at the end), depending on which version of the G3 you have.
The A6IT is for the 16gig variant, downloadable from here, and the AHIT is the 32gig variant, downloadable from here.

Yeah I know the stock software is far from perfect. I used the original vodafone for about an hour, then got fed up with the bloatware, and moved to AndroidNow, which, as of now, runs decent.

Any at&t roms work on t-mobile variant?
no they do not work.flash an att rom to an tmobile g3 and you will brick your device.the only way i believe it could work is if someone port the rom first,but i don't think is worth it since att and tmobile has pretty much the same stuff.but porting an international rom to the lg g3 tmobile thats something i would like to see soon

Older version works still but not the updated lollipop for obvious reasons. Not bad running if you are still running kitkat.

Guess if you don't read and just start flashing, yes, could be an issue. If you read before flashing you would see the faq section that says don't flash the latest on xxx devices but use the older version, exactly what I said.

Hello XDA.. I own an LG G4 (H815L Variant), and I am very interested in rooting my G4 H815L (Israeli variant).
however, I am extremely unsure whether any of the available rooting methods will work with this variant (by rooting I mean that I also need to unlock the bootloader and TWRP)
anyone know if any of the currently available methods will work with this model? as far as I know, from trying, the official method does not work just yet with the H815L.
thanks in advance to anyone who can answer.
yes i have it and rooted with no problem, follow the guide on the original android development forum.

and when it comes to the "command to run", do I download the file listed under the:
[ International H815 10c Version (NOT H815T, H815TR, H815P, etc - you will lose internationalization and possibly features) ]?
nevermind, figured it myself. thanks for the help! this post can be closed.
I made a rooted rom for H815L based on the Israeli 10c version & running it on my phone since yesterday.
Everything is like stock including all regional features (like RTL alignment & Hebrew on dialer)
if someone is interested i will upload it.

Well I did not use the official method. I used the method presented at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/...-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765/
followed instructions to the letter, while downloading the drivers which are labeled: "All G4 (except Verizon) - http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime...Ver_3.14.1.exe"
and the Command to run I used was:
"International H815 10c Version (NOT H815T, H815TR, H815P, etc - you will lose internationalization and possibly features):
Code:
dd if=/data/media/0/system.rooted.H81510c-EU.img bs=8192 seek=55296 count=529920 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
using these with the instructions the OP wrote in that post just got my phone rooted.
I do recommend that you do a little more research before attempting... would feel bad if you got your phone bricked.... cause as you can see, in the command to run he mentions not to try it one the H815P...
you better ask him which command to run you need to use before committing to this method.
I wish you luck friend!

From what I understood... the "etc" meant that all the H815 variants (H815L , H815T, H815P, and so...) can be considered as "NOT"
Did you notice anything wrong after doing it? Everything fine?

DO NOT use the method posted in general thread unless the rooted system is the same version as your current system.
If you have a f500l with 10a a rooted system was linked in the original dev sub forum. I cant try it since I soft bricked using method im recommending you dont use. Ymmv

Yes its a shame. I was having great fun with the G4.
Some users were able to flash H815 10b kdz but lose or have faint signal. So now I opened a thread asking for help backing up my modem(s). Perhaps safer to wait for possible kdz.
