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.

unfortunately the bootloader isnt unlocked so we cant flash custom roms to the og pro...from other users it seems that that is true of the international versions as well. next time a lil digging might save u the trouble of asking. there is rooting available so u can make some tweaks...at least for the att version. havent looked into weather it would work on other versions, maybe a dev will answer that for u. as for the docomo gui, the simplest answer to that is just install nova launcher or go launcher or some other launcher and use those themes, i used to use go launcher a lot and it has tons of customizations and controls u can tweak.
That current root method should work for all versions of this phone.
Oh
Thanks for your answers,
1) so the versions for the F220K doesn't fit to the L-04e?
2) can someone give me a link to the root method? (i afraid to make mistake...)
3) the docomo is not only gui it takes control also on the Contacts and some of the features that google usually do.
Thanks!

Here it is
Flash a Korean Rom, by experience it's not dangerous to flash a wrong rom
Look on the forum to know how to flash if you don't found a thread you can test this method

thats the root for this device. again i would advice not to try flashing any roms...so far from whats been discussed in the bootloader unlock forum flashing will either brick ur device or it'll force a factory reset and all u'll do is wipe ur phone. we're almost to the point of being able to flash roms soon tho so give it a lil time. as for docomo pretty much trying to control ur phone, its still a droid, u can install apps to do cover everything pretty much. i rooted mine and loaded a different texting app and got rid of the one included by lg/att. as for contacts u can download different apps to manage contacts and dialers. i had mentioned go launcher before, they also have go contacts that is a customizable contact app, they hae their own text app too...so u dont have to use the docomo provided apps, even if u dont root it

That unroot method should work for all versions of the phone. If you do some digging you will find it is actually the same root method for the Optimus G.

Yes i tried, famaroot not working on this phone (((
Works for L-04e
Update, way too late. I got a message saying I had successful rooted. It in actuality had not worked. Still looking to root it.
Sorry for the incorrect information and late update.
Originally I wrote:
I just got root on an Optimus G Pro L-04e NTT DoCoMo. Followed instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006946. It took me a couple of tries as I probably did something wrong, but I am now rooted.
I also tried FeeGee (paid version referenced in the above link) to get get the boot-loader unlocked. That hasn't worked for me. I started to do the more complicated manual version noted at the above link, but it looked like it was going to try to do the same thing and so gave up while I was still ahead.
I hope the bootloader unlock becomes available soon.
Thanks for the rooting information. i didnt try rooting yet.
i also hope that the bootloader will be unlocked soon

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 :=)

What is the meaning of all the letters? LG is very new to me on flashing FWs.. and I'm not a newbie about it at all..

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.
Where can I find some useful info like that?

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

Okay, if you have the knowledge to know which rom you want on your phone, you should know how to use the search button my friend. I don't want to sound mean, but I'm very tired of babysitting people when this topic is all over the forums and can easily be found within 30 seconds of doing a Google search. You need to learn that the community loves to help people, but only if they can help themselves. And you should read the forum rules and never post anything in the Orginal Android Development sub-thread of the G3 forum because that is for actual development only, not questions, and not to be harsh, but you wont ever have anything to add to that. Also, since you apparently can't even do a simple search, I'll go ahead and warn you to be careful about what roms you flash and only flash ones specifically for the D855. I also ask that you read EVERYTHING on the OP's page before even downloading the rom. That being said, to start getting your phone ready to flash, you need to first root your phone with StumpRoot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
After you have carefully following all of these instructions and you have properly working superuser access with SuperSU installed on your device, then you can proceed to installing a Bump'd version of TWRP for your phone. Once again, make sure you download the correct file for you variant and follow this guide verbatim:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...mp-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-d852-d852g-f400-t2900614
Once that is done, you should download whatever rom it is you want to flash, IF AND ONLY IF IT IS FOR THE D855. I cannot stress enough how important it is that you don't flash a rom for a different variant. Follow all directions on the OP's page and you should be good to go.
Good luck on all this but next time, please learn to search before you start a new thread. This topic is literally all over the forums and is so easy to Google and find out for yourself in no time. If people would just read they could figure out a lot more without having to let others do the thinking for them.
Boy im glad i got rid of this phone. Best sell it and buy something easier to root with more custom roms.

If rooting this phone is hard for you I really pitty your intelligence.
Lol. I said easier to root not "hard"!!!
Even if you do root not many custom roms which is big no no for many. Then the lag and cartoonist ui boy it's a toss up between touchwiz and LG ui which is the worst.
Won't be buying LG nor Samsung anytime soon.

Rooting is seriously either one button after installing an APK or connecting your phone to your computer and pressing ENTER 3 times.

Fair enough but not much in way custom roms which is one of the main reasons for rooting. Apart from the lag This was one of the other reasons i got shot of my lg.

I have a questions about roms. Which rom for LG G3 (D855) is the best ?
I read a lot of good opinion about SphinX G3 V2.0, because V3.0 is not for D855.
EDIT:
I have a problem with Stump Root, because I see a error: "device is patched, sorry". What do I am?

I have a software from PLUS operator (Poland). I afraid to brick my phone, because It costs around 1700 PLN.
Stump ROOT do not run, because device is patched.

Purpledrake should work on 10l, many people have said that it does. Strange. The device is patched means LG has blocked stump root from working.

Downgrade From Lollipop to KitKat for Root

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.

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.

I already rooted the phone and all that is just that i flashed this rom and is missing the device unlock app.
Could someone who is still on stock ROM extract the T-Mobile's Simlock App from /system/priv-app(oreo)
Should we do a wipe first or just installing over is ok?

You the man.. can you add g7 ar camera stickers.. I just tried to do it using the system dump but I don't know which files to pull.. if you can do a full system port as a g7 rom thats even better.. great work.. flashing now.. if I do decide to sim unlock, just add the T-Mobile SIM unlock app?

I'll see what I can do about maybe making a flashable for the Camera as this is just a Stock base I don't wanna add something others may not want. I'm super busy so may be a couple days. I'll also upload a new link that has the T-Mobile SIM unlock app added back.
Hey, sorry for the dumb question but I keep on seeing 20K, 20D etc behind the rom versions - what does it mean?

Stock LG firmware version the ROM is based on. 10 is Nougat, 20 starts Oreo.
For some reason European bottle builds are at higher versions (20Y even 21A), but that doesn't mean they are more advanced than North American 20E.

If you referring to flashing this rom.. Ignore it like I did.. Some parts say 20d.. Magisk says it when flashing but you get 20k.. Mine rebooted 3 times for full boot.. Twrp acted up like I had nothing but recovery after flashing, but I have vendor partition with no treble rom.. The button key combo fixed the issue.. Booted normal and then recovery started acting right.. But if you looking for old to new, the higher the combination, the newer.. 10d>20d>20k

Maybe try adb pull /system which should have all the apks from system minus the ones with elevated privileges. Well if you have the g7 to do that from

Fingerprint scanner is not working for me after flashing. Anyone else having this problem?
Edit: Data was encrypted. Wiped data and reflashed fixed it
Gonna have an update for ya guys did some tweaking on the kernel so grab your favorite kernel manager and see what settings work best for you!, removed T-Mobile boot for Pixel boot and Shutdown animation added all Android P UI notification and ringtones. More to come later trying to get best stock experience possible. Don't ask for original apks please they are pretty easy to find.
