Hi all, i'm pleased to share my work with you.

Here you have the latest official lollipop firmware for D855 ( v. 20A - LRX21M) packed in a zip flashable file.

I made this because all of us want to keep the old bootloader that is - at the moment - the only one who accept the bumped TWRP provided us by team Codefire.

I made also a step further and found a way to

root this ROM.

Here you go:

First of all i suggest you to install the TWRP modded by me to allow the backup of the modem.

Be sure you select also the modem partition before taking the backup. ( If you want to restore the backup then restore also the modem ;))

1- download the two files and put them into the sdcard;

2- reboot in recovery and do a factory reset;

3- install the ROM and the supersu ZIP;

4- reboot the device and enjoy your rooted Lollipop ROM.

If you come from an earlier lollipop firmware you can dirty flash, it might work.

I spend a lot of time developing this so if you think i deserve you can donate ( look at my sign ;) )

DOWNLOAD

SUPERSU flashable ZIP

ROM

MIRROR

KK MODEM ( you need this only if you downgrade from lollipop to kitkat and you don't need if you backed up before with the modded TWRP recovery)

DONATORS:( really tnx guys)

Q&A

What this ROM include?

In the ROM zip you can find only the system, modem and kernel (bumped) image

What do i need to flash this?

You need only to have the TWRP recovery installed

If i flash this i will lose the bumped recovery?

Nope. The bootloader will not be changed.

If i want go back to KK roms ( stock or AOSP) what i have to do?

Just flash your ROM or restore a previous nandroid backup. But, after that, flash the zip with the KK modem you can find in the 1st post.

I really need to flash the root files?

Must i answer????

Cannot write to internal SD?

With adb or a terminal emulator do:

su
restorecon -v -R /data/media

Your statusbar and navbar are gone?

This is a issue reported from some user.

Try to format manually data in TWRP before install the rom.

If this doesn't work try flashing the kdz of the H firmware ---> root ----> twrp ----> install this rom ( sperimental).

Doesn't have the option to enable LTE?

Go with a root browser to system/app/Lteconfigs/, click and install the apk, then reboot and you will have the option for LTE.

[G3 Android Development] yocasta:

[G3 Android Development] jamiepotter:
Sorry for this question but after flashing this rom via bump twrp can we go back to KK Aosp by flashing it back? Or do we need to connect to a PC to restore back to stock fw?
[G3 Android Development] shaboogen:
The D855 is the international version.

The modems are interchangeable.

[G3 Android Development] MasK:
Guys... those using Textdriod to change dip to 530:

How do some LG stock apps work? (camera expecially). Coz in KK, I used Xposed and Appsettings module to selectively change the dpi of some apps so that they look ok without any GUI cutting off.

Obviously no Xposed this time, so any ideas?

Cheers!
[G3 Android Development] bigmupps:
All working well for me, maybe try clean flash again, etc, more wiping. Reinserted sd card, formatted, and working on camera and everywhere else now.

Only one I've found that doesn't work is the smart notice widget at 543 dpi.
[G3 Android Development] kehne:
After restart 570 works fine ;) Furthermore all LG apps works fine. There ist no Glitch. The only buggy app is the LG Quick remote... It´s not possible to activate the widget
[G3 Android Development] ticiano_arraes:
Only bug so far: when taking a screenshot, I'll get an error, but the image will appear at the gallery. The screenshot notification can't be dismissed however
[G3 Android Development] CQ7:
Great ROM, run smooth and fast.

For me root doesn't works, i've tried with titanium backup and it doesn't obtain root privilege, maybe app compatibility byt i think there's something worng with root.
[G3 Android Development] motomoto00:
The root not work. Any idea?
[G3 Android Development] sailorpapay:
okay, downgrate to off 10l, bumw, trwp - flash 20a.
[G3 Android Development] rossonero82:
Try this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56661101&postcount=136

I just flashed this and it's very smooth, especially with Nova Launcher. Loving the new animations and all my apps work except Textra that for some reason just FCs all the time when I want to write a new SMS or read an old one.
[G3 Android Development] bigmupps:
Root works differently with Android 5 and some apps are going to need to be modified to work correctly. You are ahead of the curve atm and need to wait for the 5.0 compatibility to broaden ;) that is my basic understanding anyway.

---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 PM ----------

Good plan, it's how I did it today. Came straight from latest ota, unrooted, as I had restored it with a kdz after flashing the 19h yesterday.
[G3 Android Development] manager77:
I just flashed v20A kdz file with LG Flash tools....can l go back to kitkat...l mean downgrade
[G3 Android Development] Lennyuk:
What do you mean? when you take photos they are saving to SD card not internal? You have to change the setting within the camera app.
[G3 Android Development] rhystagram:
downgraded from V20a to V10l (KDZ, flashed with LGFlashTool2014) no problems, rooted & installed TWRP no problem, installed all 3 zips, no problems...

busybox installer (JRummy Apps Inc) couldn't get busybox to install, though i got it installed with the BusyBox app (Stephen Stericson) - though, it wouldn't install first time, i had to wait for smart install to load a little bit then click installed & it was successful.

ES file explorer doesn't want to work with this root but I've found one I will... seems like some things accept the root, other things don't.

I mainly wanted root to get rid of bloat, mod vol, build.prop etc & now i can.. Thanks!!
[G3 Android Development] Lennyuk:
I noticed that LG have removed silent mode. You can now have Sound, Vibrate or Do Not Disturb mode, but do not disturb mode is much harsher than silent mode as it blocks notifications.
[G3 Android Development] bigmupps:
Yes it has been said many, many times :) but I saw that it's safer to use a .tot than a kdz to do it. I used kdz because I'm used to using flash tool now and don't mind doing setup a few times if I have to. Happier now I have TWRP though.
[G3 Android Development] rossonero82:
I was just whining about that to my brother. It's a very weird omission, that was the mode I used the most.
[G3 Android Development] mlm1102003:
even after flash using tot file ,need too flash kk modem ?(you mean root then recovery then flash kk modem ??

and there is no need to wipe any thing to flash this rom ?
[G3 Android Development] Lennyuk:
I have just set it to vibrate then turned the vibrate down low.
[G3 Android Development] Lennyuk:
if you use a KK TOT file then you will have a KK Modem automatically installed no need to flash it again.
[G3 Android Development] rossonero82:
Yeah, that's what I'm doing as well now but sometimes, when outdoors for an example, you want the phone to vibrate.

Oh well, the 19x version didn't have the "Hide nav bar" option and the 20A has it so maybe in a future version the silent mode will be back.
[G3 Android Development] muhamet:
Is ther lock screen wether animation??
[G3 Android Development] crzygrmn:
Can you make one for other variants. Like d852.
[G3 Android Development] motomoto00:

Hello guys. I flashed both three files. Everything is smooth and fast. Only everytime the phone boot i recieve a error message "Current version is not availavble for user. Can't find matched cust for NT-code mcc/nnc [FFFFFF] , subset [11]"

It dont make me problems but is verry annoying. And could some body tell me how to eneter TWRP with this lollipop ROM?

Thank you.

Nooo, after flash bumped rom 20a (from this thread) - i cant write\delete any files on phone memory,cant copy any files from pc to phone memorry, cant do screenshot on phone (notice - file corrupted) cant take a photo - default camera chose SD card, but if i can change to phone memorry - notice - not free memory (8gb free)

SO - nooo privliages to write-delete on phone memory

In 20a without root - allllll good. (flash kdz)
[G3 Android Development] sakana:
Well, everything is working

No problems detected so far
[G3 Android Development] sailorpapay:
please say, from what rom you flash bumped 20a, only factory do? or wipe data etc.

flash from sd or phone?
[G3 Android Development] Lennyuk:

[G3 Android Development] bigmupps:
Same as before, hold power and vol down, releasing power breifly when it shows lg logo

[G3 Android Development] Lennyuk:
yes did you do a wipe in TWRP before flashing?
[G3 Android Development] bigmupps:
Yes wipe everything but the place you saved your flashable zips. I wiped those once and couldn't mount again from recovery :/
[G3 Android Development] Lennyuk:
shows for me in settings, I am not currently in an LTE area to actually check it.
[G3 Android Development] sailorpapay:
yes, do factory etc.

Battery life seems about the same as it was before but the monitor is reporting that Android system is using more than my screen, just like it did in the 19h. Is it the same for everyone? Seems like it's working harder if so, I have noticed it getting warm more.
[G3 Android Development] sailorpapay:
yes, all good on kk
[G3 Android Development] schadebg:
Ive tried many time but i cant boot to recovery. I tried also with flashify but also cant boot to twrp
[G3 Android Development] Lennyuk:
Try to wipe and flash the rom (from Post 1) without the new kernel and su.zip - see if it works then.

If it works, then go back into TWRP and flash the other two zip files.
[G3 Android Development] Lennyuk:
you on this rom with root? if so use the app Quickboot for an easy way to get to recovery.

Edit: nevermind, it doesn't work

You can still boot into TWRP the manual way

- Power off

- Make sure no USB is plugged in

- Hold volume down and power

- when you see the lg boot screen, let go of power and quickly press it again (keeping hold of volume down the whole time)

- keep holding the buttons until the screen changes

- go down to yes

- go down to yes

- WIN

Judging from the missing app icons you have is safe to assume that you dirty flashed aka "didn't wipe / factory reset". So here is your problem.
[G3 Android Development] Lennyuk:
weird, why are some people having problems and others not then?

Is it a 16GB/32GB issue?

I have a 16GB and it works fine - Can't see why this would be the cause, but I am running out of other ideas.
[G3 Android Development] liqn7:
Not true. That's from a titanium back up. The button was there before I restored anything from TB.

Did a full factory wipe as per the instructions.

But thank you very much for the hard work.
[G3 Android Development] yocasta:
One tip.

Titanium (beta) won't work for debloat system apps, that because lollipop creates folders for each app and titanium can't find the apk.

I used root explorer.

And any kernel app won't work, the only parameter that I changeg is oom values editing build.prop

Btw, screenshot with quick note disappeared, at least for me.

Impressive rom, in one day we have root+twrp, eat that Google! Lol
[G3 Android Development] sailorpapay:
so, do fuuuuul wipe (all can do) with format, flash from otg flash - OK GOOOOOOOD :)))
[G3 Android Development] tobitege:
Had this issue when trying to create simple TB app backups, so I ran "SD Fix" (jrummy app) and also ran "Busybox Pro" to install busybox for me (took 2 tries)... after that all my previous issue(s) are gone. Maybe this would help anyone.

[G3 Android Development] ticiano_arraes:
If someone could take a screenshot and tell if there is no error, I would really appreciate.
[G3 Android Development] Lennyuk:
You can still freeze apps fine within titanium, it is the same as deleting them, as you are only freeing up space from /system/ anyway so saying "it gives you more space" would not be a valid argument.

To get those apps back you have to go setting > about phone > update centre > app updates
[G3 Android Development] :
Just trying this on my brand new 32GB version (I have both) not working with internal memory issue . I get no SD Card errors all over the place. ES File explorer wont touch root either. I can wait though . i noticed XDA Prem refuses to kick in dunno why . Got to run and get a new Sim Card but i'll test the **** out of this later.

Edit . Just to say google play store works fine with installing and also Spotify is now working and downloading music fine.

How to flash

My setup:

D855 International version 32Gb, unlocked.

Previous rom: AndroidNow HD 2.4

How i flashed:

I did a full system backup with my Titanium Backup, then I copied all files that are supposed to be flashed to my external SD.

Entered recovery mode:

1. Did a factory reset. (as said in 1st post)

2. Flashed rom D85520A-lollipop-skin1980.zip (as said in 1st post)

3. Flashed SU-beta BETA-SuperSU-v2.19.zip (as said in 1st post)

4.a Flashed custom kernel D85520A-boot-rooted-bumped-skin1980.zip (as said in 1st post)

4.b Reboot.

Additional steps to restore Titanium backup:

5. Install BusyBox from Google Play

6. Install Titanium Backup Beta

7. Reboot, all good.

Rebooted, stuck on LG Logo for a few minutes, then it suddenly started to upgrade apps, and after that it was all great.

Running smooth as ever!

Please hit "Thank you" button if this helped you :D

Took screenshot of first install, worked fine. Just took another, worked fine. It saves, no errors, and I can dismiss it - Works as it should.

Works great for me. You need a beta of Titanium Backup if that's the app that says that you don't have root. After installing the beta I could restore Android ID, SMS, MMS and everything else.

I tried to take a photo to internal memory - works great.

Well erm I believe the camera will have a problem too. At first look, everything seems alright, but once you tap on the settings button, you will notice that the last icon (HDR) is off the screen, thus not accessible.
