d855 aosp to d852

Not sure if this is useful to anyone. But I made a flashable zip which will make d855 aosp roms work on the d852.

So far Ive tried it on paranoid android, carbon, and mahdirom

Steps

1) Download a d855 rom

2) Open the zip and edit /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

3) Change D855 to D852 in the 1st couple lines and save.

4) Flash that zip.

5) Flash this zip.
[G3 General] shahkam:
I guess editing the files need to be done only once... Right
[G3 General] Tyro.Eh:
Yeah didn't skip out on anything.. Followed all the usual steps . :s
[G3 General] xTristinx:
Now try it on android L :d
[G3 General] shahkam:
It took me a while too almost thought it was soft bricked but it booted ! Rom is great everything seems to be working like it should...

Except when using camera with flash its kinda buggy it will freeze and require me to reboot if i want to use the camera again... its a hit and miss kind of bug
[G3 General] crzygrmn:
Well im gonna give it a shot. Thanks for the zip
[G3 General] dyllanp:
Left it trying to boot for 20 mins nothing happened.. I tried all the aosp roms with that mod to convert it to d852 same thing with all of them.. Wiped delvik,cache, and system.. Phone just gets really hot. :(
[G3 General] shahkam:
I dont know what to tell you then... sorry...

Play store isn't working cant sign in and my wifi is horribly horribly slow any fix for that ? Internet speed on pc and my other phone is just fine

And this is for the carbonn rom port posted here earlier..
[G3 General] jeffrey1790:
Play store is working fine for me. Try to clear the cache for Google Play Services, reboot and see if it works.

Wifi is working fine for me.

http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/1044406537
[G3 General] shahkam:
Figured play store out but wifi connection is painfully slow
[G3 General] shahkam:
Now its even worse restored my backup and wifi will work when it first gets connected for about 30 seconds but after that nothing loads up facebook instagram etc...

I am connected on my other phone same network and it works perfectly fine any suggestions guys ?
[G3 General] Helloworld294:
Just flashed cm11 with art and it is nearly perfect. I've really been missing the Theme Engine :D
[G3 General] hoponpop:
We have the same phone variant as the AT&T version, even if the model number is different. If you want a dedicated sub-forum, that's the one to use
[G3 General] Jahcure:
Thanks ☺
[G3 General] skiiermike:
You rock. Keep up the good work. I have and love this phone. Can't wait to see what it is in store for the future.

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

Does that mean the AT&T Roms will work on the 852 or will something need to be edited?
[G3 General] crzygrmn:
No, you cant!! Its gonna give bootloader error and thats the end of the road.sure we all have the same hardware. Just different modems, but you can flash almost anything outthere with a few changes, or specially made for d852.

Still, i dont advice to flashing anything until confirmed working .
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
I'm working on a device tree now. New to making a device tree myself but I have some people with experience helping me out. Once I get this squared away compiling from source will be a breeze. I'll keep you guys posted when I get something build able. As far as I can tell I am the only one working on it. Any other devs out there with some experience feel free to contact me and I can link you to my github.
[G3 General] skiiermike:
Thanks, I'm in no huge rush as my phone is working quite fine as is. That being said I am keeping my fingers crossed for CM to be done properly. Thats what I used to run on my s3 and loved it.
[G3 General] shahkam:
Absolutely loved cm on my s3 aswell !! Love it on my g3 except for that wifi issue i have...
[G3 General] def-g:
Originally tries 1.0 and 1.1 and although it was fast and had great battery life. Poor call reception and a buggy speaker phone. Kept me on Rooted Stock. I posted my issues in the Cloudy thread and developer FIXED all issues in V1.2.!!! Plus the added T ACTION is just fricken cool. Loving this ROM.

[G3 General] skiiermike:
Is there a thread where I can follow CM on the 852?
[G3 General] Helloworld294:
No because it doesn't exist. The only way we can stay up to date is to follow the D855 thread but then again flashing the "d855tod852.zip" would bring us to an outdated kernel.
[G3 General] Lokiel13:
So does using the "d855to852" give an inferior experience then just using cloudyrom? I was thinking of using it and flashing androidnow or cm
[G3 General] RIPPER03:
Same here,last week I flashed a couple roms and had a mishap,anyway,for 3 weeks before that I had 100% wifi,1x cell and LTE 50 Mbs/s...now,20 % of all three,wiped phone and and installed factory D852 Bell...still no change. looked through all the hidden menus but there is so much,don't know what to change. grrrrr
[G3 General] shahkam:
I flashed the carbon rom port posted couple pagee back worked just fine and has more options than cm
[G3 General] _Jax_:
So many d855 roms. We need a hero for our d852's lol. Yeah i'm jealous :( lol.

Just got the phone really and I absolutely love it. Rooted but still running stock. Thinking of cloudy for now.

I need to go back to stock unrooted - currently on stock rooted - and I can't find an active link to download the KDZ file, the LG PC Suite Restore Upgrade errors does nothing.

Can someone who has gone back to stock unrooted please post a working procedure including the necessary file links please?

Thanks a lot.

Ran the Flashtool, plugged phone in while holding volume down to get into download mode.

Chose manual, and selected appropriate TOT and DLL.

You have to go in device manager and you will see lge device or something like that with an yellow exclamation mark. Click it and it will go to a lower level then right click and choose properties. I cant remember what to choose after that but you have like 3 or 4 options one of them will bring up a separate menu with the comm choice. Choose 41 and you're set. P.

You can use a D852 Rom on a D852g phone ;)
[G3 General] pyro224:
Yes I find that the reception is generally worse and sometimes I have a problem with the signal dropping off every 15 min or so. This hasn't happened to me recently though.
[G3 General] rezadue:
Thank you all who helped. I was able to go back to full stock non-rooted format for the purposes of selling the phone.

Although I absolutely love everything about this phone the fact that in low signal areas it was awful has precipitated me selling it. the phone was dropping calls, had poor to none data connectivity, and was at times losing network signal altogether. When tested back to back next to another phone, using the same SIM card, my G3 performed much worse. The problem was not evident in really good and strong signal areas though.

I will miss this phone.:crying:
[G3 General] Jahcure:
Did you try any kind of fixes to try to remedy the situation before giving up hope?
[G3 General] Torob:
Hey everyone, it seems like I lost my modem (flashed wrong one) and it wasn't restored from my backup.

Is there any Bell modems i can flash or will i need to do stock firmware? If so do i use KDZ or TOT method? Which settings am i to set on the Flash Tool for the Bell D852?

I would appreciate the help. Thanks
[G3 General] crzygrmn:
If you want total restore use tot method. Kfz is not for our phone. Just follow instructions to the letter in the thread below and you will be fine.

Most errors come with windows 8.0/8.1. Use windows7.

[G3 General] Lgg3d852g:
Unfortunately, when I try to flash a d852 rom like AOSPA for d852, the installer displays a message error "This rom is not compatible with your LG g3 d852g, this rom has been built for Lg G3 d852 only".
[G3 General] rezadue:
In truth no I did not do much other than to reset the phone. But it seems to be a somewhat common problem for a subset of G3s. Both a friend and his wife got rid of their phones for the same problem.
[G3 General] Torob:
I admit i regret not choosing the M8 over this phone. I've had some issues with messages and calls as well.
[G3 General] kisskool34:
You can install the Cloudy 1.2 ROM by choosing D852 ROM :)

AHAH, if only it could be that easy ;( i'm so disappointed by this phone since I discovered the lack of dev-interest into my model... :(
[G3 General] mathsmart:
Same for all of us but this is now u can see how small videotron is ..they dont offert lte on a 600$ phone ...

From Lg G3 "the beast"
[G3 General] Jahcure:
They should since they partnerd with rogers for that purpose
[G3 General] _Jax_:
Thats strange. I'm from the same area and I have not experience anything like this at all.

Edit: All these "issues" that keep getting posted make me debate if I should keep the phone. I'm still within the 15 day return period with Rogers. I mean obviously, you don't read about the good things. People seek out forums for help with issues they're having. Not to simply say how good the phone as been. Nothing else is really appealing though. MAYBE the Z3 but there's no root and Touchwiz is just too ugly for my liking.
[G3 General] rezadue:
As an example, I was sitting in Fun Haven which is right next to highway 417 which has cell towers all along it. Inside fun Haven the phone kept dropping signal intermittently while my wife, On Rogers as well, with her S4 had solid signal and connection.

I ended up buying a Note 4. Got around Touchwiz by using Nova Launcher. I miss the form factor and overall dimensions and ergonomics of the G3, but am getting used to the Note 4 size. On the plus side, Note 4 battery life is ridiculous good!
[G3 General] _Jax_:
I go right by there daily. I will definitely be keeping an eye on this. I hope its not the case but quite obviously a deal breaker if so.
[G3 General] rezadue:
Outside of FunHaven it is fine. Inside by the restaurant not so much!

another spot is in Munster. on the G3 I got almost no signal to none at all (can't even make a call). When I had signal speed test nubers were 1.1/0.01 upload download. Same spot, same SIM card on Note 4, 4.5/1.2 upload/download
[G3 General] _Jax_:
Yikes. Man you're really making me doubt this phone haha :(.
[G3 General] rezadue:
Sorry dude. Don't mean to do that. Like I said it seems like only a subset of people are affected from my research.Yours may be quite fine. The best thing to do is to find an area with low signal (1 bar 3g/4g) and test out your G3 back to back with another phone, suing the exact same SIM card.
[G3 General] Jahcure:
Not like i know anything maybe its a modem radio issue i remember on the galaxy s2 skyrocket there was at some point a collection of radios available for us to test maybe thats what we need ?

Root D852

Hi,

I've been trying to find an answer and possible solution but didn't catch it, so my apologies if this has been covered before.

I just bought a Rogers LG G3 D852 and I've tried to root it using the various options (Towel Root, Stump etc) and have been unsuccessful so far.

Can anyone offer me any guidance or directions as to where I can go to solve this.

Thanks so much!
[G3 General] Jahcure:
Can you since you have a unmolested phone ? test with tune in radio app see if you can hold on to a stream for longer than 1 min continually. Using only mobile network and not wifi. Pretty please ☺
[G3 General] _Jax_:
Not to get too off topic here but "a unmolested phone" needs to be adopted everywhere hahah.

[G3 General] Kaldrak:
Stump works. I rooted my D852g using Stump. There's no reason it shouldn't work for the D852.
[G3 General] Torob:
I used IORoot, worked like a charm. Just make sure you wait the 3 (or more) seconds when it tells you in the instructions.

Since i saw this quoted, I'm curious if there is actually a reason you said that. Does the Bell phone offer any advantage over other D852?
[G3 General] mathsmart:
Just saying that bell and telus using the same antenna depending where you are and specially if you have 852g wish is videotrontron and dont offer any LTE I just said its probably better and since we already have a very small support for d852 I dont think there will be much support for an unique device like 852g

From Lg G3 "the beast"
[G3 General] j.bolton:
As far as I know, the only difference is the Bell is $100 more than the Rogers. I got mine for $599 on contract. $79 up front with a free $125 in store credit. $474 for new G3 was too good to pass up.
[G3 General] mathsmart:
for me I was able to pay half the price of the phone the first time (350$) and keep my old bundle at 60$ per month wish came with 3gig data unlimited text et call over canada so I think its not too bad also :D

and with bell/telus you get the biggest covering on LTE all over canada, rogers/fido etc.. came right after for LTE covering
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
I keep looking at wind because it is so cheap. Have a great plan with virgin(bell) right now though. And the wind data speeds would kill me. Plus the beach I go to about 10 times a summer isn't covered so I'd be paying out the nose on those trips. Wind just isn't there yet for me.

[G3 General] brar.arsh:

[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
What did you expect them to give it away. ITS A FLAGSHIP!!! $699 Is pretty reasonable for a portable computer that makes phone calls with a 4k screen.
[G3 General] brar.arsh:
Mate check the price for G2 last year and was in it less than any flagship?

G3 has s801 and 3gb ram so these are early 14 specs and at this time we should have had atleast s805.
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
Ever hear of inflation. Get a nexus if you want a low price high end phone. $699 is right on par with every other flagship with lower specs in some areas.

T-mobile

I might just go ahead and get the T-mobile version. It'll work for me on Wind too until I get switched to Virgin or whoever else has a decent plan available. I don't want to pay a ton of money, or pay anywhere over $50 a month, which is where all of Bell and Rogers' plans start. $40 a month is pushing it, I'm looking for cheaper.
[G3 General] force70:
Not a bad idea, unlocked bootloader (CAN version may not be) white is avail lol. Saw a couple on kijiji already for around $750 which is about what a CAN version would cost with tax.

That 805 version keeps haunting me though..id be pissed if i picked one up them LG released an upgraded version with the 805.

I am eyeing the Gold version of G3 and it seems the only available option is from Sprint (besides European D855). While the supported bands are ok to be used here, I am not sure how to get it unlocked for use with international GSM network. Does anyone know how can I get this done here in Canada?

Thank You

Thanks to everyone for their help with me rooting my device. Worked great. The PurpleLite option was the one that worked for me while StumpRoot and TowelRoot did not.

I see people on the thread frustrated at the lack of available options with regards to ROMS. Have the big ones been successful for this device? CM, ParanoidAndroid etc?

Does anyone have a link for the exact area where Canadian G3 users can find available ROMS or are we free to use all ROMS for G3 now that it is rooted.

Thanks again for your help!
[G3 General] kjwaugh:
Roms are not cross-compatible

The unfotunate truth is that we have a great device with few developers in our corner. The D852 uses slightly different hardware than the other variants - one should stick to ROM versions that were built for the D852. I understand that the AT&T (850) is compatible - but there needs to be more development - we are in the dark twilight of stock Android L coming along with the release of the source code making ASOP roms possible. We are all waiting but there are little signs everywhere that it is about to explode.
[G3 General] Ariesdroid:
Do you mean change anywhere that says d855 to D852?? I am going to try the aicp build....i edited the first couple lines.....but I notice there are a few spots that say d855 further down....just not sure if those should stay as d855 or also be changed to d852....
[G3 General] kjwaugh:
I wonder what's really happening

I don't know much about development but it strikes me as unlikely that this solution would accomplish exactly what we need or want. It just changes the labels on some values - it's not compiling new code. We will succeed better with ROMs that are not just re-labelled but actually built for our version, No matter what you wrap the package in, it still going to be the same thing inside. Now I'm not anykind of expert, but I feel strongly that there are better sources for some things; you can get burned if you are not flashing something that you know to be the correct one. Be prepared to do little research. Just saying....
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
It won't work. The kernel configs are different along with a lot if device stuff. And if you are talking about aicp lollipop build don't even bother.
[G3 General] Ariesdroid:
I fully understand what you are saying but have also been doing this stuff for a few years and feel pretty comfortable fixing my own **** ups if they happen...lol...but thanks...

I can confirm that zip working now....I have aicp 7.0 up and running on my d852. I only had to change the first couple lines...So far everything appears to be working, I had to save a nandroid of that to flash cm 12 though. Got that up and running as well but data is still broken...I will set up Aicp tomorrow and see how fully functional it is....but that zip worked perfect...

Since I'm a nice guy, here's a Super Alpha CM12 build for D852. It Boots and wifi works, but Data does not. Flash at your own risk with superSU 2.27 and pa 5.0 gapps and play around if you want. But please don't complain about anything as its a very first build.... Also thank Timmytim if you see him around xda....He built it for me.... :)
