As there are still many asking "how do I go back to KitKat"

Here are the steps Any other question's, Feel free to ask.​

It is recomended that you use Windows7. Windows 8 will work, but not without frustration.

Download the following

Place ALL files in one folder on your desktop Once in the folder, extract all of these within this folder

Universal USB Drivers. These need to be installed for FlashTool to work correctly. You will need to remove LG drivers that had been previously installed first.

LG FlashTool. unzip this in your desktop folder. Be sure to read the text file first

TOT file

Dll file

Installation of the USB drivers

Turn off your device. Plug your USB cable into a USB 2.0 port.

Press volume down while connecting the micro usb cable to your device.

Let the phone initialize and install the USB drivers.

Go to Device manager. Scroll down to Ports. You should see listed LGE Mobile USB Serial Port (COM 5 (or whatever # it is set to)).

Right click on the LGE Mobile USB Serial Port> In the box that pops up, click Properties> In this box, click the tab at the top that says "Port Settings"> In the Port Settings box, click Advanced> Here COM port number. In the drop down, select COM41. Back out hit save, leave Device Manager

From this point (on through to the end), you will need your device in download mode.

Install the LG FlashTool

Again, be sure to read the text file first (This is imperative to your success.)

Flashing the files with LG FlashTool

Open the FlashTool In box that pops up, leave Korea Factory checked.

In the box that pops up, select Manual mode

To the right of the Dll bar click and you will be able to select your dll folder. Click on the dll folder, click on the dll file. It will show up in the DLL bar.

To the right of the S/W box, select Add, Do the same as above, but here you wll be looking for the TOT file

Once both files have been selected, click OK, this box will disappear and you will now be in the second box.

Click the yellow arrow at the top of this box to initialize the process. Once done, it should say "ready"

With your device still in Download mode, disconnect the micro usb from the device, then immediately re-connect it. The magic will begin.

DO NOT UPLUG THE DEVICE until the Flashtoll says PASS!!

You must wait for your device to show the number 3. If you unplug it with anything else, you could have problems... simply wait for 3.

Once you have 3 disconnect from PC and pull your battery from the phone. Put the battery back in, boot up the phone.

You are now back on stock AT&T KitKat 4.4.2.

A couple helpful YT video, if you are the visuals type

Getting into download mode

LG G3 Flash back to stock
[AT&T LG G3] TonyStark R.I.P.:
and what if we have....:D

So in reality you bought this device but are afraid to admit it? :laugh::laugh:

Nice to see ya here:good:
[AT&T LG G3] MynameisJeff:
Why would you be afraid to admit buying the phone? This is an amazing phone.
[AT&T LG G3] esimon311:
That's odd I have multiple Gmail accounts as well as Yahoo on mine and everything synced perfectly... Contacts birthdays calendar....

Ha! Good one, Tom. You know if I had this device I'd be all over these forums :p. Come check us out in the Shamu forums...:highfive:

Are you stock, unrooted and received OTA? That's what she did, she's not android geeks like us...;)
[AT&T LG G3] mrhaley30705:
Before trying a factory reset try removing the Google account, run smart clean, reboot, re add the account. Stand on one foot, hop in a counter clockwise circle. In that order.
[AT&T LG G3] heathroi:
what about having the constellations in the right alignment? I've read that helps too.
[AT&T LG G3] Ozark_8125:
You forgot the part about having to do that twice. I thought by flashing meant you had to do it naked also.
[AT&T LG G3] KeeperOfThePizza:
Do we have a known bugs list for the AT&T update? Has anyone experienced any bugs?

have you jump the LG-G3 ship?

:cool:
[AT&T LG G3] shayneflashindaily:
No something better will be out in no time... But maybe if development was good. I am a phone whore anyways. Ever 3-4 months I change. But this g3 has got me where it counts

http://www.xda-developers.com/xposed-framework-for-android-lollipop-is-here/

Xposed is ready.... Grrrrr We neeed rootz.
[AT&T LG G3] eortizr:
yeap, But I think root is going to take some time, I mean no other variant of G3 with lollipop have root as far as I know, you have to root on KitKat and then flash a rooted version of Lollipop. So for know I'm just going to go back to kitkat,,
[AT&T LG G3] KeeperOfThePizza:
Yeah I know.
[AT&T LG G3] 4NDROID4LIFE:
Was just gonna post this. So it's for armv7 only. I think that's us. Just revert back to KitKat and flash an aosp lollipop ROM

Sent from my D850 T-Mobile SIM
[AT&T LG G3] plaster:
I've flashed the arm7.zip and installed the xposed app, but it shows not installed via the app.

Edit: had to go into the apps framework section and hit reboot, so the app could get root access. Rebooted, and I have xposed running on lollipop. Yay!

BTW, this is Candy5, not the stock lollipop.
[AT&T LG G3] SCWells72:
And the real remaining gap is the camera. The camera was one of my main reasons for getting the G3 and I find image quality under AOSP ROMs significantly degraded. If only the stock camera and libs would work under those ROMs.
[AT&T LG G3] 4NDROID4LIFE:
A little disappointed with the soc. Why use the 801 on a brand new phone. At least the 805. Were they really trying to keep the price down lol it's super expensive. 500 for a new startup.

Sent from my D850 T-Mobile SIM
[AT&T LG G3] hainguyen91:
isn't it $600? In my opinion, the price is rather reasonable given all other specs and features that this phone has to offer. Though a startup, they are trying to compete with the flagship phones out there. I agree with you that the soc and gpu choice are so last-year, but perhaps people will buy into other features of this phone.
[AT&T LG G3] krayzie398:
Is there any way you could upload the stock recovery? I don't want to go through the headache of restoring to stock. It never works on Windows 8 and I don't have a 7 machine handy.

Sent from my D850 T-Mobile SIM
[AT&T LG G3] TonyStark R.I.P.:
:eek:

I dunno, maybe due of its hardware.

There is no other device on the planet (currently), that can even hold a candle to its specs
[AT&T LG G3] mrhaley30705:
I just use the included Smart Clean. I've compared it with ccleaner and it's usually within a free bytes of being the same. Bonus is one less app to install.
[AT&T LG G3] eortizr:
Yeah the camera in AOSP is just awful when compared to the Stock one, daylight shots are Ok, but low-light is just unbearable.
[AT&T LG G3] zelendel:
It could be that 5.0 is a buggy mess. Mainly for a start up. They would want to make sure things are stable. With the way Google is pushing updates to 5.x branches I wouldnt have it as stock either.

As for the hardware chips. Well to be honest, as long as it does the job there really is no reason to use the latest chipset. Alot of people really are too focused on if the specs are the latest. When older chips work just fine for what they need to do.
[AT&T LG G3] mrhaley30705:
Zel, can I leave my Xposed bug report from cm12 with you to deliver? Hahaha
[AT&T LG G3] SkVergil:

With xposed now supporting art is there any module that will help the camera of aosp roms? I already flashed the camera mod zip.

[AT&T LG G3] shayneflashindaily:
The camera mod zip is about as good as it gets

2SHAYNEZ
[AT&T LG G3] Turb0wned:
So what's the verdict then guys, worth updating and losing root or not? Only reason I rooted the G3 is to get rid of bloatware and run greenify for battery life. I no longer install Roms or kernels.
[AT&T LG G3] KeeperOfThePizza:
You can always flash back to with the flash tool if you don't like it.
[AT&T LG G3] :
There does really need to be a way to get the goodness of the lg camera on some aosp Roms. The Motorola camera from the nexus is about good as it gets but sheesh.
[AT&T LG G3] redeyss:
I pre ordered a Saygus. $549 and ships with glass screen protector and extra battery. Have 30 days to cancel order so I'll see everything that MWC has to offer before I decide. Pretty sure I'll give it a chance though.
[AT&T LG G3] Eochai:
I'd love to, but when I did a factory restore after the update, I wasn't paying close enough attention and wiped my internal storage - which was the only place I had the stock recover zip flashify created. :(
[AT&T LG G3] netomel:
You should know by now factory restore erase everything on your internal memory.
[AT&T LG G3] krayzie398:
No problemo man! Thanks
[AT&T LG G3] Eochai:
haha.. yeah. that was all on me. the stock LG G3 factory restore does give an option, i think, to leave the internal storage alone, I just blew right through it.

What update do you mean?
[AT&T LG G3] :
No filter or alterations...just too good. If could adjust Iso and all that I may try it.

Edit well nvm then add my app won't upload it.

If you decide to factory reset after updating, don't check the format sd option. I believe that formatted my external card, not my internal. Whatever did it, my external card was empty after booting up. Trying to restore it now :mad:

You forgot to modify the phone settings to prevent updates after you went back to stock. Obviously being rooted doesn't prevent the phone from trying to update, it will just fail when it tried to apply the update.
[AT&T LG G3] plaster:
I think he's implying that he wanted to update, but it took 2 days before he was able to. I got bored and decided to return to stock, 10 seconds after it booted I was prompted to install a 721mb update. Not sure if it's lollipop or 10f.
[AT&T LG G3] KeeperOfThePizza:
That's lollipop.

Cool. Lets see how long it takes for me to miss root. :eek:

Yes, You're just gonna have to reconfigure your apn's.
[AT&T LG G3] netomel:
Yes but do I have to back to stock or just apply in stock rooted.
[AT&T LG G3] KeeperOfThePizza:
If you are rooted, It will break root, However if you have a custom recovery installed it will cause a endless bootloop into twrp.

My advice, Flash back to stock. Take the OTA. Set everything up.

Don't know what you guys call close to stock quality. But I just tried the cm12 with the Motorola camera and mod and low light shots still looks like crap

Is not even close. Firs is stock. Second is AOSP. There is so much noise on AOSP

Exactly

2SHAYNEZ
[AT&T LG G3] m0biusace:
Taking a picture of a 300nit TV isn't going to give you an accurate idea of low-light camera performance. You should have turned the camera 180 degrees and taken a picture of the room being illuminated by that instead.

A direct comparison of AOSP and stock LG shows AOSP to be vastly inferior for anything indoors without natural light, even with all the latest camera mods.
[AT&T LG G3] bigfdaddy2:
Ok will do ...
[AT&T LG G3] blackwrx02:
Thanks for the comparison. The camera on ASOP is such a deal breaker. Why can't they get it sorted out? There is no excuse for that bad of a picture when the camera is certainly capable of a lot more.
[AT&T LG G3] Misterowl:
Isn't bad quality pictures native to aosp? I remember when I had cm10 for the One XL that the camera was terrible compared to sense.
[AT&T LG G3] KeeperOfThePizza:
I just spent 25 minutes on the phone with AT&T trying to get a replacement battery for my phone. The rep offered me a 1650 mAh battery and a 1850 mAh .... They also want 42 dollars for it.. If I didn't know anything about the phone I would have gotten a battery that isn't even designed for my phone.. I also looked at the coverage and it says it covers the "Device, Charger, Battery and SIM"... So.. anyone got any recommendations?
[AT&T LG G3] SCWells72:
Yeah, that's a bummer. Guess I'll just wait for rooted stock lollipop. Thanks for the comparison!
[AT&T LG G3] KeeperOfThePizza:
The camera relies on LG's framework and image processing which would be hard to replicate., Not to mention it is a closed source. Highly doubt they ever release there code.
[AT&T LG G3] GroovyGeek:
Bingo. Many don't understand that a camera image is much more than what the sensor sees. There is a boatload of processing, particularly with respect to color interpretation and noise reduction. This can make a ton of difference, as Nikon has clearly demonstrated by getting better dynamic range out of Sony sensors than Sony itself.

I'll have to give it a try, I dont understand why I should have to pay for another battery, Most likely though I'm just gonna buy a Anker or Hyperion battery.
[AT&T LG G3] gpgon:
Find out where your closest warranty center is and go there. My mom complained over the phone about her Sony Ion's battery problems. They sent her a new battery. The Ion does not have a removable battery. In person or online. The phone people are just sales in disguise
[AT&T LG G3] KeeperOfThePizza:
Thanks for the input! I have mobile insurance on the device, Isn't that what it's for? Haha.
[AT&T LG G3] :
I'm a sprint service and repair tech, they don't cover the battery or charger as they co sided them accessories. They will replace the battery if its within a year
[AT&T LG G3] KeeperOfThePizza:
Thanks! ATT called me and said they'll reimburse me for having to buy another battery since they don't have them in stock.. and she said they do cover the battery.
[AT&T LG G3] Ozark_8125:
Bugger... sorry to hear that brother... I did that once and I'm *pretty* sure I didn't check the extSD option, but it was formatted anyways... I think that was back on the skyrocket. It hurt.. but could have been worse. When I'm a-crazy-cracka-flashin', I've now taken to backing up my card on my computer in case of emergency. The usb 3.0 micro SD card reader I bought sure helps.

Are there any major changes to lollipop on the stock rom? I played with a friend's verizon version the other day and didn't see anything really different at first glance except Android Version 5.0.1...

--

Also, you other folks on aosp roms, you might want to check out the snap hdr camera that's found right here on XDA... I spend some time comparing test shots between stock and aosp on my 27" 4k display, and it's not worlds apart at all.
[AT&T LG G3] eortizr:
I also tried the Snap camera and under low light conditions still very far from stock quality
[AT&T LG G3] loganfarrell:
Does anyone know what the newest update to lollipop means on the forefront of "Bump!"? More specifically, will updating normally and waiting for root block the ability to install TWRP? If so, will the same story be true if a recovery-flashable zip is used to install the update?
[AT&T LG G3] _Infamous_:
Bump is blocked, don't update wait for someone to make a zip to flash!

Has anyone had issues with Gmail widget freezing up randomly. It will either just white-screen or give me the loading circle but nothing ever happens. The widget on the homescreen just says "Loading". Restart usually fixes it, just annoying when I get an email. Doesn't happen most of the time, but has a handful of times since the update to 5.0.1

On the camera issue...I understand that there is a lot of processing that goes on and that LG's can't be used on AOSP, but those are some pretty smart guys, you'd think they would be able to do a little better than a picture that looks like it was taken with an old Moto V400 flip phone from 2004...
[AT&T LG G3] heathroi:
i got the anker with a charger seems pretty good hasn't exploded or lost charge or swelled. get about the same time as the works battery

[AT&T LG G3] :
They're job is to maintain AOSP code so that it works cleanly and is easy for OEMs and developers to adapt to, not optimize it for the hundreds of different mobile camera sensors on the market. LG makes a device for people to use stock, they and the developers of AOSP don't have the time and resources to sit here and make sure things work on unofficial firmware.
[AT&T LG G3] plaster:
I simply disabled every piece of AT&T software. Performance is excellent, best it's been in fact. Battery life has been great. What's even better, is some of the apps I couldn't get to install on the AOSP lollipop builds, install and run on stock lollipop. I miss root for xposed and TB, but I'll live.
[AT&T LG G3] KeeperOfThePizza:
Yes. I did also.
[AT&T LG G3] waytec:

Can inquire as to your meaning " regarding our recently unlocked G3's!". Are you referring to the bootloader which has been recently unlocked?

Thank you
[AT&T LG G3] aybarrap1:
The post you are referencing I believe is regarding bump. Until that, custom roms were not possible.
[AT&T LG G3] Turb0wned:
I am loving this update. Smooth and beautiful.
[AT&T LG G3] mrhaley30705:
I'm not. It's worse AFTER the factory reset. Lag is terrible compared to KK. Memory usage is weird (down to only 200mb free at one point). Heat is building after extended use. I had none of these problems on KK, not even in stock 10d/f. I'm declaring this update a flop. I'm almost ready to flash back to stock 10d and root again.
[AT&T LG G3] esimon311:
How long have you been running lollipop?

The first day or so after installing the update I was experiencing similar performance. But after a solid 5 days or so.. I can honestly say I'm enjoying Lollipop, as much as if not more than KK... Minus root...?....no over heating issues.. My phone will get a little warm after a couple hours on straight clash of clans... But nothing major.. Battery life improves with every battery cycle. And the slight lag I noticed at first got better... Not complete gone some apps there is a slight pause before launching.. But nothing that would make me revert back to KK.....

I guess what I'm saying is give it a couple days......?

[AT&T LG G3] KeeperOfThePizza:
Generally, you should give it a few days, allow things to cache up and settle. . I can say that my experience was fairly good. It's smooth and quick, bloatware is minimal and can be disabled. Battery life HAS taken a hit a little.. But I think this is a widespread issue among most devices. With every release there are pros and cons especially after a major update.. My biggest disappointment has been the lock screen primarily. All in all it's decent for a AT&T release.
[AT&T LG G3] Jammin72:
Pretty sure battery and performance issues are related to the, by default, enabled encryption feature.
[AT&T LG G3] mrhaley30705:
was encryption set on startup? I never bothered to check

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

And I've gave it a few days. I updated the first day it was available, then factory reset on Friday because it was acting funky with my external sd. Performance has been worse since reset, not better as it should have been.
[AT&T LG G3] Barsky:
Seems hit and miss. ATT sent the OTA to my (unlocked) phone, even with the T-Mobile sim in it . It's been running very nicely for me. Only thing I miss is root, but that will come.

FYI, I went back to D85010D stock using the tot file. The phone went directly from D85010d (kk) to D85020f (lolli)
