D858 is pretty much the same as the D858HK.

D858 = China (dual-SIM) variant. No Google Play pre-installed but I believe there is a way. Also you can "convert" that into a D858HK if I'm not mistaken (there's thread for converting a D857 to D858, so you may want to check that thread out).

D858HK = Hong Kong (dual-SIM) variant. Has Google Play pre-installed.
[G3 General] HedgehogDworkin:
Thanx, I know difference between D858 & D858HK as I have last one.

Question was about Android Lollipop 5.1
[G3 General] topet2k12001:
You mean Android 5.1 having "multi-SIM" support as one of its key features?

It's pretty new (just rolled out) and based on online articles, not much to be excited about for the LG G3 dual-SIM variants In short, OEM brands already have this implemented (such as the LG G3 dual-SIM variants) prior. Because of this, from an end-user perspective there is not much difference to be felt.

Perhaps from a developer's standpoint, this is going to be great news because it will mean that dual-SIM support is natively built-in to the Operating System.
[G3 General] dahamsta:
Hi folks, can anyone tell me if the D858HK would be supported on the 3 network in Ireland? I think the handset supports 2100 and I suspect that Three is on 2100, but I'm not certain of either. I'm presuming 2G and 3G are a given....?

Also, does anyone have any experience with the eBay seller buybuybox.europe? Or a better way of sourcing one from Ireland or the UK? Not Mixeshop, they lost a phone on me and tried to keep my money.

[G3 General] badchip:
Just information for anyone wondering, I tried to flash two D855 roms on my D858HK, Cloudy 1.2 + crDroid. I did full wipe in twrp and tried to flash them (I don't care about Dual-Sim because I only use 1 sim) but both didn't work and got the phone stuck in fastboot mode... First I thought that the rom will work just without Dual-Sim because D855 and D858HK have 100% the same hardware.

Now I'm back on stock 10d + root. If anybody knows a way (or a ROM) that works for our D858HK, please let me know (even if dual sim not working). I was hoping I can install Cloudy 1.2 :(

Thanks and good luck
[G3 General] sultan.tabbara:
I don't understand ur problem just sell ur dual sim and get a normal g3 to install whatever rom you want.
[G3 General] badchip:
It's ok because I got this device for cheap (yet it's brand new and 32gb)... so if I sell it now I'm going to lose money in the process. I'm on 10d + rooted + debloated, battery is excellent. I'm going to wait until we get official 5.1 and then update and root.

But if someone ever succeeds to flash a d855 rom on d858hk, please let us know how it's done!

Hi [MENTION=4805295]sultan.tabbara[/MENTION],

Please visit the link in my signature.

Hi [MENTION=699961]mingming[/MENTION],

1. Downgrade (reflash) to Kitkat (of course back up your files first)

2. Check for Software Update (latest Lollipop)

3. Update it

4. Root it
[G3 General] BsofBordeaux:
Did the upgrade and i am currently using a rooted version of Android 5.0.1

However, I am experiencing some sort of lag after a while of it being on without a restart. Some people say it's a memory leak problem. Will wait for 5.1 to come.

Still, the upgrade is awesome. Apps seem to work faster now (before the lag kicks in). My benchmark rating went from 30k before the upgrade to 40k after doing it.

Stock recovery needed

My I ask somebody to do recovery copy using flashify (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify), and share with me?

I have 858hk 32 GB with lollipop 5.01, rooted (one click root without twrp, bump and so on), but unfortunately I cannot go into recovery mode. I think that I have lost something during rooting my phone. I hope that restoring stock recovery by flashify will bring me possibility to go into recovery mode.

[G3 General] J-Caesar:
I followed all the steps and got rooted LP (checked with Root Checker).

Before that on 10d I made a back up with titanium backup and now I am unable to restore. TB says there are no root privileges (attached screenshot).

I will be grateful for any suggestion.
[G3 General] popo72:
Did you flash the SusperSU as indicated at point 5
[G3 General] J-Caesar:
I exactly followed all the steps as written. The only difference was that I had already downgraded from 10f to 10d and rooted using stump root sometime ago.

Anyway, I figured it was the busybox missing. So what I did is: downloaded it from Play Store, installed it, rebooted .... and it worked. But I still don't understand why busybox was not there.

Just to share. I experienced some problems with LP 5.0 v20d. My D858K is laggy, battery consumption is higher than KK, I also noticed that the phone is getting hot very fast unlike KK v10d. My restore didn't work as expected for some apps (which I guess is understandable when upgrading OS). PixelPhone dialer not working properly when choosing to call from sim 1 or 2 unlike kk.

P.S.

I made a TWRP full wipe before installing V20d.

I'm on KK. I am afraid about the current version of LP. Is it worth to upgrade to LP? Or is it still not stable?

I read some of you complaining about the battery drain. Lags and etc.

pls advise me
[G3 General] topet2k12001:
Hi @Lassang01,

For me, comparing battery drain between Kitkat and Lollipop for the D858HK is more of a function of:

1. What kind of apps do you have installed, and...

2. How you use your device

I remember I posted something in this thread some pages back to explain my reasoning...and how to test the consistency of battery life between, say, Kitkat versus Lollipop.

If you're not in the mood for reading, all I can say is that on the average (on typical usage - not "gamer" or "video streamer" type of usage) I get 25 hours from full charge to 10%.

Also, I would caution against comparing battery life between users. It's just too varied since not all users will use the same gadget the same way, and not all users have the exact same apps installed. I'm sure if I hand over my D858HK to my 5-year old son, it wouldn't even last a day (as an example).

Of course I do read user reviews and opinions, but I take it with a grain of salt and I will personally test for me to see how it goes. That's what I would advise.

I have rooted LG G3 d858hk bumped, twrp, stock lollipop 5,01.

Lollipop

Hello. Despite being an old reader of this forum this is my first post. I bought the D858HK and, looking to upgrade it to Lollipop, I came across this thread. I read the 25 whole pages and I'm still not sure how to install lollipop since the OTA says i'm using the latest firmware. I read about the KDZ but 2 pages after someone said it might be harmful for the Phone. I also tried with the LGMobile Support Tool but it says the same as when I tried via OTA despite trying with different countrys (I'm from Argentina). Can somebody help me with this or at least give me a link to a method to install 5.0? (I don't care about not being root) Thank you :D
[G3 General] badchip:
This thread is for rooting, if you want to flash 5.0.1 you need to download the D858HK firmware image (kdz) and use LG Flash Tool
[G3 General] NeoBrain:

Next Thing is... has anyone a working CWM download link to install Blisspop ROM on the D858HK ??

Lollipop stock

Hi all ! I'm new on XDA forum but not really in android tweaking !

I bought a D858HK to use the dual-sim due to my job. I had a Nexus 5 and it was unpossible for me to go without Lollipop nowadays so ...

To whom it may serve, I download the .kdz file (at post 143 I think EDIT: Post 142 !!) and I only flashed it with LG Flash tool on normal mode to not lose the configuration I had already done and it work smoothly.

Of course I'm not rooted yet but I don't really need it for now.

Currently my phone is working really fine with the D858HK20c ... firmare.

Does anyone know where I can find the D858HK20d firmware ?

PC SUITE connection problem

Does anyone know how to connect D858HK to PC Suite?

Thanks.
[G3 General] geertn444:
joined the club

Hello all,

I just wanted to say i received my brand new LG G3 D858HK edition (LTE Dual - 3/32GB version). After unloading, it immediatly prompted me to upgrade, so I am now running 5.0.1 20d version (not rooted).

I am using the phone from Belgium, 4G works on Belgacom network (as specs + 4G LTE wiki page mentioned)

My first impressions:

- don't use the screen too often or i hardly get through the day :) I do have to say i have -loads- of apps loaded [finally a phone that supports it, note my previous phone was a HTC desire bravo !!]

- i think it is ligtning fast, but again, see above to what i am used too :)

- i did notice some (light) SMS problems: some SMS messages are not coming through or with a huge delay (ie 1 day). I didn't thought this was a problem, until i read somewhere on the web some 5.0.1 users are maybe also experiencing SMS problems ?? Is this a confirmed bug/problem ?

- another thing i noticed: 3G stays on even while on wifi, but i think it is a cosmetic bug: even when i manually disable 3G/data in the dropdown menu, the icon in the status bar still presents "3G" ? strange behaviour....

- I really don't like the new 5.0 Touchscreen icons, but no way to change them with non-rooted phone.

- i did also notice some problems connecting the phone to my pc with regular USB: it works, but the connection flaps very frequently (off/on), it is not stable at all.

- thanks to this forum, i noticed -just in time- there is a special version needed of the Circle case. I nearly ordered a standard one. Is there really a big difference ?

- will be testing dual sim shortly.

- now waiting for Lollipop 5.1 :)

I do have a question for you all also:

- the phone comes shipped with a thin plastic attached to the screen. Is this the Oleophobic protective coating or is this just a protection from the factory (i have left it on). Am i supposed to take this off when i apply a tempered glass cover ?

- I am looking to protect the phone by a leather Circle case. AliExpress has several, but now i am starting to doubt if they will fit my 858HK edition. Are the dimensions of the dual-LTE so different that it doesn't fit in any standard one ? Or maybe i am better of by taking one that doesn't require the back cover to be changed ?
[G3 General] drtusharpatil:

Can anyone give me the link to download official lollipop rom for D858HK 32 GB model. How to update manually.
[G3 General] geertn444:
no wireless charging on LG-D858HK

The LG-D858HK edition only has 2 contact points on the back and those are for NFC (see photo in the beginning of thread), and not only on the back cover, but also the back of the phone itself there are only 2 metalic pins. So i believe you will never be able to add wireless charging, no matter which case you buy.

NOTE: even the two pins of the NFC are located on a "non-standard" location, so they require the buying of the "HK" version of the Quick Circle case, in case you choose to remove/replace the abck cover. You better opt for a snap-on circle case, which is also available (not sure NFC will work through the snap-on case though)

- bluetooth profile doesn't connect in RSAP mode to my VW car, only in basic mode, with bad audio quality as a result. Other users have reported the same problem on other forums. It seems to be a 'bug' in Android 5.0 as for them it used to work on 4.4. (i upgraded before i could do the test).

- USB connection doesn't work (i can charge, but file transfer doesn't work). LG PC Suite software doesn't connect. Under settings->share&connect, i don't have an LG Suite entry (seems like D855 users do have this). When i try to download PC sync support software via the LG Support Tool, it asks for my IMEI, when i enter it, it says "No compatible PC-Sync software found for this IMEI". ???
