You mean G3 D858HK (...and not G2), I guess. It works on Windows 8 and I have tried it. The only problem I faced it that one of the USB ports on my laptop (which supplies power even if the laptop is switched off), does not work for flashing the G3. I suggest you try another USB port on your PC and see if that works.
[G3 General] weiweiwu:
Some problems so far

I have been quite happy with my LG G3 D858HK except the problems such as

1. No MTP after lollipop after kitkat

2. Still no multi user support

Anyway to fix these? Don't feel like changing phones
[G3 General] danieldp1990:
And I am still w8ting for MM to D856.......
[G3 General] rk2612:
How come you lost MTP? I had it on KitKat and still have it on Lollipop.
[G3 General] tampitzel:
Guys, is it just me or the d858hk has a sucky sucky camera? I mean my Nexus 5 takes better pictures than the d858hk, what the hell. I am on stock android but I could've said the same for the one custom rom i tried. Any advice?
[G3 General] mexnoob:
I love the Camara on my d858hk, I even have edit some of them because they where great

Hey all very new to the forum and also to android phones , just purchased a D858HK with D858HK10F - HKG-XX software version, i really want to root but am getting very confused with taking sections of several posts to root this particular version.

Would it be possible for somebody to do a step by step guide for this model i can follow, scared im going to brick the thing before i get any use out of it lol and not really sure what i need to do with phone to start the process, hoping somebody can assist with thanks in advance

Wow thanks for your assistance better send my phone back then as from your statement "android phones are not for me"

All been noobs at some point and I have read the post in this thread just confusing as theres information for all software versions, ill jump somewhere else where the members are a bit more friendly.

Just wanted a few bullet points as to links and and order of process

The lg g3 d858hk comes with no software and Im a little unsure so to experiment on a $600 phone and brick it anit my idea of trial and error but thanks again for you wisdom and support
[G3 General] Celso1974:
Look follow what this guy did to the letter - i also did it for the first time and it really was that easy. Im on win 8.1 my LG driver somehow installed itself, not sure how that works for other versions

Make sure you find the right LG flash tool, download the dll and the right firmware, all the links are provided. Make sure in your device manager you select the right port (43 i think under Ports (COM & LPT) in device manager)you'll see if that's correct in the LG flash tool. load up your dll and firmware in flash tool. Put in LG in download mode by pulling out the battery, turning it on and at the same time, holding the up or button (i googled it just to be sure, you should do the same)

Download mode pops up on your screen, connect (plug your USB in) you'll see flash tool is good to go, unplug micro usb (for 5 sec) and plug it back in and flashing starts and wait till its finished. setup phone, install superSU and whatever other root tools you want.

connect to wifi and do the OTA update to 10f (root stays)

tada! That's it

(I'm speed writing this as i am off to work but its that easy) Good luck!
[G3 General] Downsy38:
Thanks Celsco really appreciate it worked like a charm, i rolled back to 10D, used stump root and super su now rooted. Will look for OTA later to put back to 10F

Guys do we know if we are getting official lolipop on our d858hk?

Sure we get 100% lolipop.
[G3 General] sgs2withantenna:
Hi all,

The D858HK is a great phone but it has a major flaw: it does not support LTE 800 MHz.

Is there any way to hack it or change its firmware to add 800 MHz?

Thanks.
[G3 General] mariosm1cy:
As far as I understand bands are hardware so no. I do not mind since lte at my country will be at 1800mhz (not available yet but soon)..
[G3 General] sgs2withantenna:
There is quite a big thread that claims it is possible to unlock bands: http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/thread-progress-please-leave-im-updating-t2871269

I have not read it yet though.
[G3 General] Celso1974:
Interesting it's a massive thread though. Not sure if i dare to yet. Seen some guys on different G3 models having success. D855 for example but does look a quite risky

Would be very interesting to know if we would get any benefit here in China with extra bands exposed if possible
[G3 General] jy02362014:
Hi Everyone, good to meet all of you and this is my first post in XDA. I have just got a 858HK in Hong Kong. I notice that there are noises like the electric current when when you listen to your phone (no matter in the call, or just standby; no problem if you plug-in the earphone). May I know if you guys have got the same issue? Thanks in advance.
[G3 General] sesamemilktea:
I don't. Suggest you taking it back for replacement.
[G3 General] BsofBordeaux:
Update to 10f?

Some threads say to NOT UPDATE using OTA to 10f because the device will lose root access.

Is D858HK an exception?

And, what recovery (stock, TWRP) do you use?
[G3 General] Mercyisfortheweak:
I have the same Issue and I read in one article that it's because of the headphone jack. It is to believe that when you are charging and try to plug your earphones to the phone it will be resolved temporarily. When I plugged the LG earphones it doesn't sound and if I put my other earphones it comes up.
[G3 General] topet2k12001:
I don't know about them, but I have an actual D858HK and have actually tried the procedure multiple times, and it works, so....

For flashing zips I just use stock. I honestly don't use TWRP (from my previous devices) to backup my stuff; I use Titanium Backup.
[G3 General] topet2k12001:
A few comments, if I may.

On my first try I followed that part but I discovered in later attempts (yeah I reflashed many times already, lol...) that it is not necessary for a battery pull, or pressing/holding up/down + power button.

Yup this is the only step you need. Just keep the device on and plugged in when you run the Flash Tool. The Flash Tool does not automatically start the process, so simply unplug the device from USB, wait for 3-5 seconds, and re-plug. The Flash Tool will detect the device and it will attempt to restart the device in Download Mode for you, and then it will proceed with the actual flashing process.

Just wanted to mention this so as to reduce the number of steps that need to be taken by newcomers. :)

Here's a video tutorial that I made, by the way: http://youtu.be/SN_eA0-sajo It's about 13.5 minutes in total, end-to-end (Downgrade, Root, Upgrade, Verify that root was successful).

I know that there is already a video tutorial made (from the original thread "convert D857 to D858"), but just wanted to help. I did not narrate in the video; I just capitalized on the usage of Closed Captions.

You'll see in this video that the Flash Tool will attempt to reboot my device (because I did not do a battery pull...I just unplugged/re-plugged it to the USB).

Hello ... I'm federico italy and I bought a lg g3 d858 from eglobalcentral.co

Today I tried to make up with lg pc suite windows but unfortunately I recognize the device as a normal external hdd while when I connect on lg pc suite tries to connect but can not ... I wanted to ask if anyone has had the same problem and if I can do about it .. I've tried them all ... Connecting USB and wifi, I reinstalled the drivers and lg pc suite but I was never able to solve ... also since I have not taken never received an official update software ... I wondered if I ought to upgrade to Android 6.0 ... what are your impressions? it is still early? we will receive the official update directly from device ... other tips are welcome if they serve as a firmware upgrade, etc etc etc ... things that I never did, and that I do not mean so much ... thank you for your patience and for the answers that you give me ... I apologize for my bad English
[G3 General] bravo2526:
Hey bro ...can you tell me the purpose of conecting with pc suite we have some other alternatives as android pc suite like mobango etc ...you can google them and yes your model will receive 6.0 but offical date is not yet confirm but you if want to try 6.0 right now you can go to http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/lg-g3-d856-7-8-android-marshmallow-t3294053 and intall this. 6.0 ..any thing else you want to know ..do ask it bro
[G3 General] Drug_Store:
You can´t use normal G3 (d855) pc suite. Must use one from LG HK site

http://www.lg.com/hk_en/support-mobile/lg-LGD858HK
[G3 General] waqasr:
1. Use the tool on the website, put in your IMEI and it will let you know

the correct firmware for your phone but if you are unlucky like me and

it won't give you any suggestions or tells you that you got a wrong

IMEI number or some sort of error then go to step number 2.

2. safe bet would be to download your model specific firmware from

underneath Hong Kong region, that's what I did. If you want the latest

Lollipop version then go for V20E of if you want KitKat then go for V10F.

Notations:

– HKG is for LG Dual SIM 32 GB.

– 6KB is for LG Dual SIM 16 GB.

Hi there guys. I got a real problem with my phone. It happen when I start to download anything.

The whole connection is slow even to send message from whatsapp. I have the 858hk . I've seen phones of my friends (Huawei) that shows the h+ on the signal. My phone only shows 3g .
