Hello people. If my trouble is not in correct forum, sorry.
Let's go.
I bought a LG G3 D855 (Brazilian) from Vivo/Telefonica operator. The gadget comes with Lollipop 5.0 and some apps from Vivo. I rooted the phone and removed the apps.
After this, updated to a stock ROM (20b) with no operator's stuff. But my phone still with some things from Vivo, like wallpapers and the version of the ROM didn't change. Still V20A-724-06 (I think the "06" is from Vivo). Reading Google I found that the stock G3 firmware is like 20x-724.
My question: is there anyway to full format my phone, like a formatted PC with no partitions, and create all from beginning? I tried to install TWRP, with full wipes, without success.
Anyone have a solution?
Thanks!
Hi
If i remember correctly there is a folder in the root that has all the stuff related to the operators.
You need to erase that folder.
If you search the forum you will findthe instructions.
Brgds
Do you know if in this folder I can solve the problem with version? Because I found a folder and deleted it, and the apps were killed. But the phone still with operator's wallpaper and the version of Android don't change when I update using LG phone tools...
I'll try to find. Thanks!
You need to flash the kdz after that you must perform a factory reset, if that doesn't work downgrade to 4.4 install twrp flash any 4.4 rom (not stock based) and then re flash something like cloudy and check if that works
I'll try that. Thanks.

I downloaded stock 4.4, a CloudyG3 2.5 and a Cyanogem 12. I'll downgrade to stock 4.4, them install CM12 and after, CloudyG3. Is that it you suggested? I want do stay with stock Lollipop, and I'll upgrade to LP5 after Cloudy.
Is that correct?
Thanks again.
Yes what the downgrade via kdz does is that it will delete return to a normal state then CM will write over system partition and to finish the reload of a stock bases rom to return to how you want it just make sue to flash correctly
Not works.
The apps from operator are gone. But still some wallpaper and the build number.

first, read that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/how-to-change-region-t2904951
now that you know what you are doing, find your operator line in cust/cust_path_mapping.cfg and edit the ending to "=/cust/SUPERSET"
maybe you need a data wipe after to really get rid of things..

When I tried to install the Justin's T-Mobile ROM to LS980 with ZVA version through TWRP, I got a boot loop (TWRP recovery image was installed via Flasify). Restored the factory ROM and tried to flash again, but I got the same boot loop. Is it due to the fact that the phone is on ZVA?
I read in the forum that I can use FreeGee to flash TWRP for LS980 ZVA, but it seems it does not help as well.
Do I need to go back to earlier version (ZV8 or ZV9?) to flash the T-Mobile ROM or is there a way to flash the ROM without going back?
Thanks for help in advance!
here is what i did

Thanks for the reply. Do you know where I can find files to flash radio? I'll read the cm11 thread and see if I can find more info on that.
EDIT:Flashed ZV8 Radio after flashing the T-Mobile ROM it appears booting but I'm getting following error messages:
Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped
Unfortunately, VoIP call has stopped.
These messages keep popping up after pressing OK so I cannot get to the main screen.
What do I need to do now?
Well, I tried to flash the T-Mobile ROM again and it works fine now (without flashing the ZV8 again after flashing the ROM)!

once you flash a radio like you stated. flashed the ZV8 after the rom you dont ever need to do that unless you recover from a TOT. file or switch your radio at some point. once you flash it your good man
and just in-case you didn't know your posting questions in the development area i see you did it twice so i figured you might think your in Q&A
are you using a t-mobile or att based sim card?
Shouldn't this post be in General or Q&A???
Are you good?
if you need any files or help let me know id be happy to help

Google Play Store - No Connection Issue
Hello everyone,
I have flashed Justin's T-Mobile ROM onto my LS980 (Sprint G2) successfully after flashing ZV8 radio.
However, Google Play Store started giving me an error message - 'No Connection'.
I tried to follow the fix in the following thread but when I opened the hosts file there was already " 127.0.0.1 localhost" at the first line. I deleted the hosts file entirely and restarted the phone but it did not work either.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273994
Does anyone know what I need to do to get Play Store working again? When I factory reset it, it will start working but after few downloads, it stops working and displays the same 'No Connection' error message.
By the way, I have force closed 'automatic update' app disabled notification. Is it possibly why?
Any help will be appreciated!!

Im having issues. The link for the Justin rom is no longer available. i lost my recovery and can only go into download mode. i have no idea how to flash recovery through adb. Do need to install the T Mobile drivers? I have the sprint drivers already installed. The phone doesnt stay on long enough for me to use the simple tool either.

In down load mode I would flash tot file then root and install rom if you still need a rom I have a stock tmobile rom not sure if its Justins and I should have a Cm11 running around let me know
Hey guys, I just installed the new software update and it is v10j I was previously on v10i, I thought the new software update was v10L?
Check for the latest update here: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI_NUMBER_HERE
If it states you have v10j, in that case v10j is the latest version for your device. I reccomend manually upgrading by downloading a corresponding .kdz/.tot file and flash it onto your phone. Minimal knowledge is required and you never have to worry about updates from LG anymore.

If you're using LG Flash Tool 2014 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190) you can use Normal Flash. I quote from the OP: "Normal Flash: Flash ROM without losing any data. Only use this when you need to fix system error. Beware of boot loop when flashing ROM that differ from current ROM on your phone or MOD ROM."

Hi
I reverted to Lollipop from MM on my G3. If you are rooted and have TWRP installed you need to use TWRP to reset the phone, system, cache etc and SD card (internal) and then use Flash Tool 2014 and
Whichever .kdz you want depending on your region. I used d85520h.

Root it first on marshmallow, install custom recovery and then just flash whatever ROM you'd like. Or use the Flash tool method as recommended

Your all caps and profanity truly shows your ability to extensively articulate your issue.
Perhaps you'd get more information and answers if you detailed what diagnostic steps you have taken, and then post in the G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.

Root the phone, format then flash stock ROM you downloaded onto the external SD. But, why would you want to. I think 6.0 is the Windows 7 of Android. If you have that you will be in the loop with incremental updates rather than being stuck with what the ROM has.
I need to perform a full wipe, get this tablet back to stock and then I'll re-root etc.
TWRP thinks I have lt033g when in fact I have the n1awifi model.
I've always been on JB bootloader and I would like to change that as well.
Can someone please list me the steps to correct/change the items?
Thanks in advance!
Figured out how to change the model.
Still would like the steps to completely format and install KK bootloader.

How did you change the model?
In another thread, someone gave me this link on the bootloader question. I have not tried it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69789316&postcount=525
Downgraded TWRP in order to change device being 'read' wrong.
In the end though, I changed my bootloader to KK through Odin which wiped and reset everything.
I have E980 that has secure boot error, and it boots into CWM 6.0.4.4 . However, it cant read / mount external , so i cant flash anything from microSD.
So, how do I upgrade to TWRP 2.8.7.0 and flash Slim LP ( is this latest and best ROM for this device ? ) TIA
PS : does sideloading the twrp recover work ?
There was a flashable zip of TWRP somewhere in TWRP thread, but generally, best way would be to simply flash it via flashify. You can always try to flash roms from internal SD or via sideload, but I'm not sure that old CWM will work with newer zips - it wasn't working well even back in Kitkat days, not now.
You can always flash Philz CWM, and use it as a starting point, and update to TWRP as soon as possible. Not that there is much going on for this device.

So , what is the best approach to fix it ? LG Flash stock KK kdz , re-root , flashify twrp , then flash LP ROM ? TIA
PS : once flashing LP ROM, do I have to deal with downgrade aboot/modem/etc. ?

Best approach would be to flash stock Jellybean, then root, install busybox, flash TWRP (can't remember if you have to flash one from FreeGee first and then update, last time I did a full reflash was long time ago), do a NAND backup and flash whatever you like after that, because half of our stuff is based on JB, even recoveries won't read KitKat partitions scheme well (kitkat has different modem partitions compared to jellybean so there is always a possibility you won't be able to backup and restore EFS, or you'll get a partial backup, because there are 3 EFS partitions).
Once you flash on Jellybean base, no further changes are necessary.
problems !!!

I got another problem while trying the LG flash tool stock ATT V20 tot file ( cant find kdz for E980 ) . I followed the guide , downloaded all necessary files, phone can be put into download mode . However, it wont show COM/Port in my laptop and show no device list in adb shell . It cant be driver problem becuz I tried to reinstall a few times and other phones can be detected fine in adb shell . Any idea ?
PS: Phone shows a yellow mark USB Composite device instead of LGE mobile com/port though .

You need LG's unified driver installed. Also, make sure that you have E980 (there are 5+ variants, all differences in firmware). Probably it would be best to download firmware according to IMEI.

Like i said i got proper driver installed and recognized by my other LG devices. I got it resolved now . The issue is with USB 3.0 . You have to use USB 2.0 for the LG Flash Tool and driver to work properly. This is also stated in the other threads . Thanks again
