Downgrade From Lollipop to KitKat for Root - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Personally I would recommend radeonmaya's kitkat rom or the HK E988 rom(not really fond of AT&T bloatware). Radeonmaya's rom recently added knock code plus a bunch of themes and other functions. Try out the AT&T rom first though.

yup. It's got some features added that are not on the stock E980 AT&T rom and the HK E988 rom. SLide aside, knock code for unlocking, suggestions for when pluggin on a headphone or a usb cable, more themes. Downside is the speakerphone doesn't work, if that's not a deal breaker then it is worth a try.

You really need to read the instructions:
Download the flashable zip, the fix, you also beed madmacks kernel, the edited build prop and a cwm and twrp flashable zips. You factory reset
Then flash the rom, then the kernel, then the build prop file and reboot.

[Q] D855 firmwares compatible with D855P?

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.

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.

I tried to flash SphinX G3 Neo V2.0 with TWRP method but the one described in the post should work as well.

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.

UN-ROOT and back to stock?

Hi,
I want to root my
LG G3
Model D855
FW: V10i-ISR-XX
Base: KVT49L.A1408602401
If I want to go back to that.. How can I do this? I didn't see my model at the KDZ files list..
1. Can I flash the stock (Any) and from LG PC Suite Change to ISRAEL and Flash the FW? (So back to ISRAEL stock FW as above?)
2. Is there an issue or trails / tracks of root after flash? such as KNOX on Samsung?
** Which root method do you recommend?
is it possible only to unroot the device without complete lose of data and ROM flash?
Thanks :=)

You'll have to do some reading on your part, as I have a different model and I'm not familiar with yours. You should be able to flash the stock FW through the lg update tool and that should revert you back to unrooted stock.
OK, I've managed to download the right one for me. Thanks :=)
P.S.

I'm assuming you mean is there any evidence left that you were rooted? A simple google search lead me in the right direction, you might want to try that next time before creating a new thread on the same topic.
Although, this is for AT&T ----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/general/root-counter-qfuse-t2819471
1. Use the search option before making new threads, like the person above said.
2. You should consider thanking the people in the above posts who took the pain of replying to you, though they could have scrolled on.
Make use of the Thanks button mate, that's what it is meant for

H815L root?

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?

Work on a G4 because it's from the G2 forum?
It's only an icons pack or it's the launcher?
Any way to install UX5.0 on G4?
And what about this one? https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/bl-lock-ul-android-6-0-marshmallow-t3459260
Thanks for your answer!
Do you only need a theme? not a custom UX 5.0 rom....
So something like this then : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1oLfe5yO0TASk1KSmRxdjhnd00/view?usp=sharing

That one is actually a non-rooted rom. The way it works is like flashing a normal LG TOT, just u must be on the version it requires first.
Just watch the tutorials there (and yes, there are) and try to understand what your supposed to do according to that.
Its a full G5 theme, rootless.
Also you wont be voiding your warranty cause you didnt do anything that "ruins" the warranty according to the actual warranty files

OK, i don't want to root my phone anyway so that woukd be great, i prefer keep my warrantly safe & don't do anything that could "ruin" it!
But i'm not sure about "flashing a normal LG TOT" , what that mean?
When u talk about the version, it is v20a, v20c, etc ??
Do you know if it stable to use it?
And if i have any issue with this rom can i restore my phone to factory settings like i have right now?
Thanks for your help

So first thing, u need to be on version v20J, but it can be on any H815 variant.
Second of all, when i meant that its like any other TOT flash, you pretty much flash it in the same tool u flash V20J on, just you upgrade and not refurbish.
There is a tutorial in that thread, it may explain it better
And you do know how to use LG Flash Tool, right?
It`s just like installing a normal app and you can uninstall if you dont like and yes it does change the icons and also you get the G5 wallpapers. After you install it go into menu and then just change it under home screen (themes) then you will also get a preview before you apply it... :good:

Does it have the appdrawer with this thème?
Where did u found that thème link? On xda or somewhere else?
I didn't find it on the forum!
No, then you will have to get a custom rom that has ported the UX 5.0 , not just the visuals like this theme does...
I dont remember where I found it, its been a while since I downloaded it after searching both Xda and Google for new themes for the G4 as I tought the themes available in LG "store" was boring and more suitable for "kids" ..... So I searched around and found a bunch of different themes I liked and saved them
But just try it and You will see if you like it or not....... , it is easy to uninstall and will not do any "harm" to your phone :fingers-crossed:
But if You really want do customise your phone, I suggest You read up on the different ways to do it here on Xda , there are guides and descriptions of everything You need to know :good:

If you have any of the H815 variants (L/P/T/International [which means nothing after the H815] and etc) you shouldnt have an issue with the rollback. This isnt like with the carrier variants that block it.
Just make sure when you roleback on LG Flash Tool to click Refurbish on the KDZ, and not UPGRADE. I've made that mistake once = it equals soft brick, even though its MUCH easier to unbrick a non-rooted soft brick.
