Sorry if this isn't in the right forum, I'm fairly new here. Anyways, ever since EC05 was installed on my phone a few days ago, I've been having nothing but problems. AFter it first installed, the phone would freeze about every 5 seconds, then vibrate a few times and restart itself. After numerous resets, it finally started working. Then my ringers went bad, and my text messages do not go through. Various apps force close, and my phone dialer freezes up when trying to call someone.
Is there any way to re-flash the EC05? I'm thinking I just had a bad flash, since my girlfriend has the same phone and hers is fine. If there is, can you guys please tell me how to do it (preferably without data loss).
Thank You.
I forgot, I'm on stock rom and not rooted.

this thread has the update.zip for stock ec05.
should be able to download it
copy to sd card
reboot to recovery and install update.zip
I've not used that file; so read a few of the first and last pages to see if there were any bumps in the road using it.
hope that helps

power down
then hold volume down + camera + power .... until you see a recovery menu
one of the options will be install update.zip
use the volume up down to move the selector and the camera button to select the option highlited.

Do I have to Odin back to Dl18? Or can I just reflash it over EC05? And do you know if my phone will be wiped? Sorry for all of the questions...

No problem; I believe the update.zip doesn't wipe.
You shouldn't have to go back to install it.
You can always use MyBackup Pro (in the market) its free for like 30 days, to backup your apps and data, call log and text messages.
Then you can get it all back if it does (though I don't think it will), never a bad thing to run a backup.

Ok after hours and hours, I finally got my KF rooted and online. I have installed superuser with KFU....I also installed the gapps from KFU, that part didnt work. I downloaded from the play store gmail. I am trying to get it to sync.....I think I need the google services framwork or something like that. I want it to be able to sync to my gmail and my phone. I know it is possible...but there is so many different websites and whatnot, I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction
thanks
Heather
You'll need to install the gapps zip. Can you provide a bit more information regarding that part not working? Maybe a screenshot of KFU at it?
By the way, I strongly advise you to install FFF and TWRP.

I dont know how to do a screen shot. I've got it up and running. I have it rooted and the market app installed. that all works. The wierd thing is that when I first rooted this months ago...as soon as the KF booted up, all of my apps from my phone were there. AWESOME! But now, I have done the same thing and nothing. All of my amazon apps are there, but thats it. my calendar was there with all the dates, so I guess that means it was able to sync. but the gmail does not sync automatically. I have googleservicesframework.apk on there, installed and changed permissions. do I need the calendarsync.apk?
I used KFU this morning to root and I think it automatically installed twrp, when I boot up the first KF logo is blue, at the bottom there is a boot up menu, then it boots into the orange/yellow KF logo and its good from there. Does that mean I do have twrp installed?
Honestly, I went out and bought an asus tablet because I coulnd't get my KF to do what I wanted it to.. I jsut want to be able to use it as a basic tablet, to sync my email and celandar and run the play store, thats it
Id rather keep the KF because of the size and cost But I'm just frustrated...thanks for letting me vent

Alright, you do have FFF installed (it's the blue KF logo screen). When you start up the KF, you'll notice on the bottom it's asking you to press the power button for a boot menu. Do press the power button a few times until it shows -Recovery-, and see if it boots into TWRP then - from there, choose "Install" and then pick the gapps zip (download http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip and put it in your KF if you haven't yet. You can delete that zip after it's been installed). You may also want to wipe cache and dalvik-cache.

This I don't know for certain - however, installing the gapps zip as instructed above should have everything google related working properly.

The reason that stuff was gone is probably due to an amazon OTA (over the air) update. To prevent stuff like that in the future, if you have the heart, you may want to look into flashing a custom ROM.

Press the "print screen" (Prt Scr) key on your keyboard (usually, it's next to F12) - then fire up Paint and just paste (control v or choose the select tool and right click on the image, then paste). It's a good idea to save it as PNG for better quality, or JPG for an usually smaller size, then you can either attach it here or upload to an image host, such as imgur.com, and link to it here.

How many times to I hit the power button to get into recovery? I see when I a supposed to press it to get into the boot menu but It just keeps going, the the logo turns yellow orange and boots normally
I would love to install a custom rom. What would you reccomend? Im running an ICS one on my phone. .. Im a little less worried about bricking this, as opposed to my htc phone that I need for work (and thats running a custom rom) Its just that there are so many ways to do things and so many differrent devices that are different in every way possible when it comes to installing custom things
I guess I should be more patient. I figured out the recovery and I have installed the gapps.

A few times, it's hard to say, as it kinda sucks at acknowledging your presses. You'll notice the letters change to a few options, with the middle one saying --Recovery-- or something like that, then just let it sit there and it'll load into TWRP in a few seconds -if- TWRP is installed. You can also just press the power button multiple times until it shows that boot menu.

Well, first is having your issues fixed. As for which to pick, is a delicate matter. You can pick between a stock based custom ROM, if you do like the stock rom look... and there are also CM7 (Android 2.3, gingerbread) and CM9 (Android 4.0, ICS). I'm currently using the sgt7 ICS ROM, but your mileage may vary - each ROM is usually fairly different, and what I like may not be what you like. Either way, you can freely "hop" around trying out different ROMs until you decide to stick with one that works best for you.

I can't for the life of me find any sort of documentation for this update, Nothing is listed on T-Mobile's website and I cant find any immediate changes in the UI. The only info I can find about the tmo G3 is that it should be at D85110c. Anyone else get this D85110m update?
I just installed this update but can't find anything about it either.
Here's a screenshot of the build number and the baseband, in case that changed too.
someone help please. I accidentally clicked update even though I was rooted. Now when I try to enter download mode, it goes straight to TWRP and when I turn off my phone and then press the volume up button as it's turning off, it shows a screen saying firmware update but the percentage bar doesn't move. HELP
Did this update lock me in custom recovery?
Late yesterday (20140909) I got a status bar notification that a T-Mobile Software Update had been downloaded, and that I should click on it to update. I left it alone for some hours but then, used to a couple of years of easy Cyanogenmod updates (I'm rooted stock on this phone), I went ahead and clicked on the update. It threw me into TRWP and just sat there. I went looking for the download, to update manually from there, and couldn't find it. Now I can't get the phone to boot to system, just the recovery. After a few attempts, I tried restoring a five week old backup, but it still dumps me in recovery. Can't seem to get out of it. I can't even verify that this is the same update you guys are talking about (can't get to settings), although the timing is right. What can I do from here?

Done... Any chance this decide to update on its own without any human intervention?? I dont have time to deal with fixing the phone if it does install and then fails because of TWRP right now...
I'm under the impression that human intervention is necessary for the update to apply itself on the phone. You don't chose yes it shouldn't load.
I think there is a battery life improvement.

You can open the terminal emulator in TWRP and run "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota". That might help. Helped with the LG G2 all the time.
I'm on Sprint. I think I can speak for everyone with a locked bootloader that we wish we had this problem. Haha. You just need stock recovery installed probably.
try another command

I had the same problem and using these two commands in TWRP terminal emulator should work (as stated above). It will give you a 'no space' error, but that is expected. After that the phone should boot back to normal.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
Be sure to not make any typos - apparently you can completely mess up your device. It took me quite a while to find out about the misc command - just the fota one didn't do it for me...
I got the OTA yesterday.
I traded in my S4 on the jump program yesterday, (9.16.14), and got an LG G3. When I got home I noticed that an update was downloaded and ready to install and since I had barely got it and it wasn't rooted or anything I decided what the heck. I applied the update and my version is now 110m and like the other guy said there is a "camera slider" on the lockscreen that I don't think was there before. But I have had this phone for less that 24 hours so maybe I'm wrong.
Hi guys,
So i just downloaded and installed the latest T-mobile update and now my phone is slower.
Every time I hit the home button, the image blinks and redraws and there's just a hint of stutter.
The app drawer also takes a little longer now.
What the heck?
It used to be so zippy and fast. How do I fix it, anyone know?

Try disabling hw overlays in developers options to help with that redraw stutter. Remember you have to set it everytime you boot, unless you're booted with xposed installed, then you could download the module that keeps it active at all times.
This seems to have helped a lot of people with your issue.

Did you take the ota or download one of the twrp upgrades floating around? Either way in your situation you probably need to do a factory reset. Alternatively follow the twrp method HERE if you haven't already and I can personally guarantee a better than ota install. If you want it to be done correctly to fix any problems you need to wipe the system and data partitions before flashing. Also don't forget to download super su if you want to keep root (linked in guide). There is another upgrade twrp file in the development section I think that is not a perfect 1:1 image and could give problems. Not saying that particular rom is bad or that it is the problem, its just not a 1:1 like the guide I linked you to it is directory/installer script dependent. The one I made transfers the whole untouched partition over and inside has all the symlinks and permissions preset by LG.
Factory Reset
Device: LG G3
Rom: [AOSP EXTENDED V3.0] [LG G3 - D855] [OFFICIAL] [NOUGAT R9] [by MARCHETTO96]
Hey again,
So i'm running this rom right and I was reinstalling my apps onto my phone and one app I need to log into but it noticed it was running root (Snapchat). So I followed someones advice on here on XDA to fully unroot the device and I did that I fully unrooted the app from the phone and then here comes the worst part that I realized this will kick me out of recovery and i wont be able to get back in because I need to get on to recovery to re install superSU back on. So im stranded on nougat 7.1 and dont have access to root at all except for root access on developer settings but that doesn't nothing at all I re installed the app on play store but its telling me the phone is unrooted of course.
Anyone can help me out here. It would be greatly appreciated .
P.S I did get snapchat working after that method kinda did work/backfire at the same time.
Do you have nandroid backup? If yes, flash that. It will be all well.
Other hard method is to downgrade to KitKat and then root and then TWRP. ?
I do not have a back up for this ROM but I have other back ups on my phone that still works. I can't do it as well cause I neeed root to l get it to work.

Yeah thats the only thing I can't get access to TWRP. When I fully unrooted It would not let me in my recovery at all just bootloops until i take the battery out then it reboots to the system fine.
Just going to ask a hopefully obvious question that I know doesn't help but I'm intrigued... Why didn't you just unroot using the supersu app?

I did do that....now my main problem is I don't have root anymore and I can't get access to my recovery and plus I'm running an Nougat rom so I need to find a way to re-root my phone again to get it all back.
The supersu app doesn't delete the recovery on your phone so something had to have gone wrong. Either way the best bet for you I would imagine anyway would be to follow a guide to install recovery - it's been that long since I had to do it I can't be of much help but I'm willing to look into the easiest options for you if you want. There will be a way, pretty much guaranteed

I know that my recovery is still there but It wont allow me on there for some reason. But im thinking that If I factory reset the phone it would PROBABLY fix the problem but theres one risk that it could probably happen and im guessing that it will go straight into a bootloop. If you want to help me It would be great
I'll research for you mate!
Did you modify your ro.product.model in build.prop file and when supersu app asks if you want to flash stock recovery you pressed yes?
For example if you have enabled google assistant by changing your ro.product.model to pixel or pixel xl and after that unrooted and pressed yes to restore stock recovery (to get OTA to work), supersu flashes pixel recovery and thats why you can't get to recovey again.
There are ways to get your phone back to factory clean and start over.
Okay I have spent a whole day figuring out this problem but i finally managed to fix it.
So I went onto download mode
opened up LG Flash Tool 2014
Flashed an LG KDZ File managed to work after the 2nd time
10 or 15 mins later it finally worked
LG started to boot up and started loading in the apps
THEN
I rooted the phone again using this forum: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/root-twrp-marshmallow-d855-30b-t3286268
Then I finally got back onto the glorious TWRP rom.
I re-installed the ASOP rom again.
I'd Like to thank Juhkimo, Jahanzaibawan and pffcouk for helping me out. You guys got my phone back to what it was before so thanks a ton
