Lollipop

I had the same problem. Was not sure if I should unroot and loose some of the cool things I had with my rooted phone. I think it is worth the try, unroot, get the OTA Lollipop update, test it and if you dont like it you can always root and go back to your current state. :)
[G3 General] orlans21:
i could but theres one thing im not sure what will happen if i update. once i update that modified camera will probably not work anymore and ill lose root. so will i get a force close when i try to open the camera or will i get stuck in bootloop and i dunno what to do if i get stuck in bootloop. if im going to do anything i would have to go back to the stock camera but i kinda dont know how to put it back
[G3 General] Rasesh123:
Lollipop is almost here!!!!!!!

Guys its so close i can barely wait. Rogers is saying February and this is the last week of February. Wait to get the Lollipop OTA, will i have to unroot. Currently I'm running Candy5 Rom (AOSP 5.0.2). If so, is there a way to do it without completely formatting my phone??
[G3 General] mathsmart:
Some say that u can unroot with super su but never tried.. I did it following the big process on google and flashing the .tot file and all was fine , but if you have a backup on your google account it will ask you wish apps you want and redownload everything automatic.

[G3 General] Rasesh123:
yea i really dont want to do the .tot file process. i dont mind losing apps (I'm flashing a new rom almost every other day) but i dont wanna lose my photos, contacts, videos etc

the complete long process factory resets the phone
[G3 General] JohnnyCanuck:
I have the same dilemma about unrooting my phone to upgrade to Lollipop. Just a question, is the only way to unroot to do the .tot file? This post (http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/guide-unroot-ota-using-lg-pc-suite-pc-t2802286) suggests that you can unroot using the LG PC Suite and "Restore Upgrade Errors".

Is this more risky that the .tot method? Or, is there any chance that someone will make a flashable version of the stock D852 lollipop ROM available?
[G3 General] force70:
Just backup your int sd card lol before lol

i make regular backups of my int and ext sd cards..its a good practice to get into.

Unroot

So I just recently, flashed the LG stock image and went through complete unrooting my phone. Scary process, but from what I know, the OTA may not work depending on how you have rooted your device and if the recovery is stock or custom. Trying to do the OTA update may result in boot-loop. And depending on how bad the damage is, you might have to do the complete wipe and flash the stock image anyway. In terms of deleting everything on your phone, it will wipe everything on the internal storage, but wont effect your SD card, of course. You could backup your photos/what ever, to your SD card. Or some could storage, or try a complete system backup.

Also, just in case someone is interested, I flashed the Bell image on my Rogers LG G3, it was fine. You just get the Bell's trash (apps).
[G3 General] Rasesh123:
Interesting. This is so annoying, just to get the Lollipop baseband I'm gonna have to go through this. I plan on getting Cloudy G3 2.1 as soon as the updates comes out. I guess i have no other choice but to do the complete restore. Alright guys, thanks for all the advice.

Also, can someone give me some idea of battery life. Like maybe post average SOT times. I've been using Stock Lollipop pretty much ever since i got the phone.

PS why did u flash the Bell image on the Rogers phone. just to see what happens? lol

---------- Post added at 11:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 PM ----------

the stock Lollipop ROM will be available but u will need the Lollipop baseband which you can only get by upgrading the official release by LG. Trying to run Lollipop on Kitkat baseband will probably not work, and if it does work it will be horrible.

if u r interested the first rom to support stock Lollipop D852 will probably be Cloudy G3 2.1

Unrooting

I bought the phone from someone who is with Rogers, but I am with Bell, so I thought it makes no sense for me to have Rogers bloatware on my phone. There are some good tutorials on how to do the complete unrooting, so take your time (Youtube it). Also, I suggest, downloading all the necessary files (image file, ...) before starting the process, and have everything ready. I was using CM12 and the battery life on the G3 was amazing, not so much on the stock software. I would say a full charge would take you 60% of what CM12 would. Good Luck :) hopefully it is worth all the trouble
[G3 General] Rasesh123:
I had a guy on another thread tell me that battery life on Stock LG will be better than AOSP. Currently the ROM I'm running is based off CM12; its essentially CM12 except they check if each nightly is good enough to be a daily driver. that said, i am getting barely 4 hours SOT, and thats with all apps greenified and minimal usage. I really need at least 5 hours SOT with medium use. I've done the full reset .tot file method before so it's not that I'm unfamiliar with the process. I just don't wanna go through the hassle. Guess i have no choice :( . Many people have told me amazing battery life with CM12. Know what, ill get CM12 tonight and test it until LG Stock Lollipop comes out. I'll decide from there
[G3 General] JohnnyCanuck:
Thanks ... I probably will just go that route and unroot my phone with the .tot when Lollipop comes out unless Cloudy gets released before I get around to it. One last question ... better to use the .tot or the .kdz method?
[G3 General] Rasesh123:
I personally have no idea what the kdz method is. I've only experienced the .tot method, maybe someone else can inform u and me. that said even if Cloudy does come out with D852 Lollipop, u will have to unroot and install lollipop from LG as far as i know. Please correct me if I'm wrong
[G3 General] JohnnyCanuck:
There's two methods listed in the thread, but I think I've answered my own question. The .tot method seems more up to date and complete.
[G3 General] bekham76:
Cant we just flash the new baseband if someone makes a zip file? Or maybe cloudy will include it in the rom? Thx
[G3 General] luizffgarcia:
Yes we can, we just have to wait for the stock LP to be released.

[G3 General] zed011:
I got update 20c from rogers.

Build number LRX21Y

[G3 General] kenship:
I'll be honest I have to research to make sure root is available, a compatible kernel and will probably wait until G3 Tweakbox has a lollipop version. Right now to me it's too early to conclude.

I'm particularly keen on the kernel, right now I undervolt slightly, underclock CPU and GPU and haven't see any real degrade in performance (I don't play games). In return my battery lasts really long.

So I'm really not sure about this build.

[G3 General] kruse1944:
As a ex dev. and I currently work as phone retailer for 2 years now, I dont NOT recommend to download the image file and install it via any ''provider'' like those sites. It's really hard to explain why but the Internet protocols do not calculates checksum like android OS is doing. Ex: you can download 1Go on Chrome of a X file and reject packet errors and finaly have your full X file on your HDD. BUT Internet protocols are not 100% errors proof( Some blocks on a certain % of errors, others repair the errors the best they can and other dont give a !(@)#@. They might forget some errors (actually it's bits that are misreads, it read a 1 instead of a 0 or the opposite). On our LG they provided an internal MD5 CheckSum pour any OTA downloaded. If 1 bit is false, the Sum /= the provided calculation ex : 0xFA329 and received 0xFA328. They are pretty damn close if the misfortune the corrupted bit on one from Android OS file xyz.sys whatever this could lead to a brick. I dont not say IT WILL HAPPEN

but there's always a chance of

. Get patience and wait for OTA if you're not rooted. But if you are, ''hail'' captain flash those Zips :silly:

For info I did not lear all this on Wikipedia, I'm a Computer Electrical Engineering student and we did a lot of tests on theses CheckSums and Internet Protocols.
[G3 General] zurny:
I think you're just paranoid :)
[G3 General] SickBeast:

[G3 General] Kayen:
D'oh. I rooted my phone 2 days ago... Debating to update and lose root and xposed (and G3 tweakbox) or not... hmm.

I did the LG firmware rom site and my IMEI gave me a 20C - I have the Rogers G3.

Shouldn't be too long until someone has a D852 baseband up and Cloudy supports us!
[G3 General] tmjm28:
When do you think it will possible to root the d852 running this software?

thats what im debating also...but i wont just lose root my camera probably wont work cuz i have the 60fps FHD modded camera on it which doesnt support lollipop but i need someone to help me put it back to the way it was so it will work

[G3 General] evansen:
I extracted the modem from D85220c_00.kdz for Sasktel (and probably Bell) using KDZfiletools.py and flashed using flash2modem. However, when I boot back into CM12, the baseband version hasn't changed. Not sure why.

I'd be happy to upload the modem image for anyone that would like to take a look. I have limited experience flashing modem firmware so maybe I did something wrong.

[G3 General] bekham76:
Guys if i update an unrooted g3 from kitkat to lollipop, can I root it afterwards and eventually put a custom rom?

I have also another G3 rooted with cloudy, if i restore to stock using kdz method..will I loose the root? Thx
[G3 General] JohnnyCanuck:
So, I got the notification of the OTA update even though I turned off the settings in WLAN Test. I have a rooted phone ... if I download and try to apply the update, will it install or not? Is there a chance that I brick the phone? I'm OK to lose root (which I know will happen).
[G3 General] Yaminashi:
I always found that the first few days of using a new ROM back when I use to root every phone yielded exceptional battery life, which eventually dropped significantly when the ROM and kernel have had time to settle in. Hopefully that isn't the case with this newest update. I may have missed it, but are you with rogers or bell?

[G3 General] lpstudio:
That would be greatly appreciated I don't want to loose root. On a side note if I took the update to try it could I downgrade and still be able to root?
[G3 General] BWolf56:
You'll lose root either way flashing 5.0 (unless flashing a custom ROM). As for your other question, there's a flash tool to go back to stock kk, make sure you backup everything though as it will wipe your entire device.
[G3 General] lpstudio:
I was thinking someone might make a rooted zip of the stock Rom or is that not possible?
[G3 General] BWolf56:
Not possible just yet. Stock 5.0 hasn't been rooted and the kk root doesn't work for it.

Is it a Rogers or Bell modem? I'm looking for the Rogers one to flash on a Bell phone. :D
[G3 General] lpstudio:

[G3 General] karendar:
That's not entirely true... You COULD package a stock ROM with integrated root for flashing with TWRP... Example: CloudyG3 2.1. Which I'm currently modding for D852... Will keep you guys posted on development (if any)
[G3 General] BWolf56:
Is Cloudy built from source though? And by source I mean the release that happened yesterday.

I know we got root on non-source custom ROMs but haven't seen any stock kk being rooted yet.

P.S.: Please do correct me if I'm wrong.
[G3 General] karendar:

CloudyG3 Lollipop is a stock ROM only used for international and Korean LG G3... His Kitkat variant was compatible with D852 by replacing the required files which the D852 needed to boot (Kernel modules, Kernel, firmware files, etc.).

I'm trying to reproduce this... And I soft bricked my phone doing it as well as lost a bunch of files. :) So... Yeah!
[G3 General] BWolf56:
Yeah I know it was doable for kk. Nearly flashed it myself but ended up just modding stock.

My point though was that we don't have root on stock based 5.0 ROM just yet (850 & 852 at least).

I do hope we get it soon enough, gl with your attempts! Oh and use clouds, i learned that the hard way a month ago ;)

I feel the same since I upgraded, Google Play Music and Play Store are also laggy as hell for no resons ( I checked CPU and GPU usage while scroling) :( It seems we need to debloat the Lolipop version and apply some real kernel fix on this.

I used the .tot method as well to go back to stock. Before I did, I actually used the LG Backup app to backup my apps and data to my SD Card. After going back to stock, grabbed the OTA update, and then restore my apps and data from LG Backup. Overall it worked pretty well (there were a few glitches with a few apps).

Generally, pleased with Lollipop. First time in a long time I am unrooted and having to search for some workarounds to things I did with Xposed is mildly annoying, but I knew I would have to do it. Really miss No Lock Home, the Smart Lock function on Lollipop doesn't support WiFi networks which would be nice.

My point was that you can extract the stock KDZ/TOT files, package them in Edify (Flashable ZIP standard) and include SuperSU/Superuser Inside the zip... That way you get stock but rooted.
