[Q] Want to flash 4.4 on my D855 - what does 20H or 10A mean at the end of kdz? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I intend to flash 4.4 on my d855 which is currently running 5.0.
This site (csmg.lgmobile. com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=35xxxxxxxxxxxx) gives me the following info when I search on my IMEI:
<model>LGD855</model>
<sw_version>D85520H_00</sw_version>
D855 is the model number, right. The 20H part, I'm not so sure of. The rom I assume I am going to flash is named Northern Europe D85510A_00.kdz. The same, but with 10A at the end.
So I'm wondering. Does 20H at the end of the KDZ file simply mean Android 5.0, and 10A means Android 4.4? I need to know so that I don't flash an incorrect rom. If it means what I think it means, it is the right ROM. Right?
Link to the ROM: storagecow .eu /Xda/LG%20G3/Stock/Northern%20Europe%20D85510A_00.kdz
Thanks! :good:

D855 is model number.
10/20 means 4.4.2/5.0 respectively.
A-Z letter at the end of firmware version means subversion. 10A is first 4,4,2 firmware, 20A is first LL firmware and so on.

Thank you. Do you have any idea where to acquire this info on the net about the layout of Android software model names? Have googled without any success.

Nowhere. Each OEM names them in his own unique way.

Firmware updates

Using an unbranded 32gb d855 in the UK. Got no ota update from eur 10a so flashed v10f. Now on v10f global.
Questions...
Modem appears to be the same, so don't kdl files include modem/radio's?
What is the best firmware to be on, EUR or global? Does it even matter?
How do I know if firmware is for web d855?
Man, do I need custom recovery, screwed the phone and had to start all over sigh!
Thanks

I'm not sure that everybody agrees with me but I think your original carrier stuff is in data/.OP which is not touched by a kdz flash and I believe that they are all the same.
how to reflash

you download the 10c update for you device (see kdz tread in general) and flash it with THIS
just a suggestion don'tt flash 10c but go with 10E if available for your device(same model number)

I am completely newbe here, could you please also give me the link to find a D855 10E file ?
My model suffix is A6FR (france?) does that mean there is no 10E ?
or should find another country 10E? I am ok taking anything that will work
and after 1.5 hours of digging helplessly would appreciate if you can help me finding the proper 10E (if there is one).
thanks much much !
Thanks !

Looking for KDZ 10E for A6FR

Team,
I am all new here, and trying to upgrade a 10A firmware on my G3 A6FR (France?).
Can anyone point me how do i download a 10E version that I can flash in?
I searched high and low but could not get a file.
I don't care of it being any other country, just need a 10E that works (LTE).
thanks,
Chen
This URL shows that A6FR should be on 10E: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/agent_phonesw_notice_list.jsp
...so you can download the 10E specific to your phone by replacing the number 123456789012345 with your IMEI: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=123456789012345

[Q] Region code firmware

Hi all,
I have a G3 D855 16gb; european version. I flashed my Phone with the new v10L firmware but by accident I took the global version instead of the v10l-EUR-xx. But even using Flash Tool 2014 trying to get it back to stock firmware, no matter what I try, any firmware will say it's global now on my Phone. I'm sure I downloaded the EUR-KDZ file. Anyone has any idea how this is possible, or how to fix this?
Thank you in advance!
Not sure it matters. I thought it based version suffix on imei number. I flashed international/european but it says SEA.
I really hope so indeed! I just can't find a way to fix it...

[Q] Where is my G3 really from ?

Hello all, I have a question. I would like your opinion. I want to return my G3 to LG Official stock with OTA working etc, just like it was when I first bought it. So I'm looking to flash the proper and right kdz, but I came across a "problem" .
I have the International 16GB D855. The sticker on the box says that it's " 6SW(Switzerland) " , but when I'm searching on http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php the firmware based on my IMEI, it says that the firmware is 6ES ( Spain ).
So what firmware am I supposed to really flash? Is the IMEI one the right one since it searches the phone on LG's Servers?
But then again , the 6SW version hasn't gotten Lollipop update yet, the latest 6SW firmware is version V10L, while my G3 got the Lollipop OTA version V20F before I downgraded it, root and flashed it custom Firmware.
What is your opinion? Sorry for the long post and thank you very much.

You can flash any compatible EURO rom on to your device, like the latest German D855 rom ending with 20H. Link https://mega.co.nz/#!AMoUjCQY!llgH-KlTB4J0paynnnGpIq0ANCAEtXjmUvpx8G8ApQM and flash with LG Flash Tool.
BTW: did you backup your EFS folder?

If it says 20a, that's a no go mate! You'll need to downgrade to KitKat first, then root, than you can have whatever you want.

If your model says D855, then the any EU firmwares should be OK, the Generic maybe? You won't find your 3 branded there.

Regardless which V20 - version you have now, just follow the guide and flash one with V10 (KitKat). If you don't see the 3 (three) version listed, go for the generic one (16GB or 32GB - whichever you have).
Once you have flashed V10, you can root it and go on...
However, if you feel uncomfortable with the process, or have never did it, or don't know exactly what you're doing, I'd suggest to get help from someone locally, who has experience mate!
Ok i'll try it!!! Wich one I've to download? Can you post it here?
I have 16 GB can you link me the file I have to download

There is difference as one is release 10A an d the other is release 10L, but for your purposes, it is irrelevant.
As advised, Flash either KDZ by this method :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2785089
This is a good guide to Downgading - Rooting and Bumping, just Flash SuperSu:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133 and the Rom you are wanting instead of CM12. :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-downgrade-root-bump-t2997824
So if I install kdz europe and the phome dead what i ll do?i ask you this because phome is of my brother
