[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caballeroandante:
Thanks a lot for answering. A short press in my bluetooth earpiece used to activate the voice-dial feature of all the other phones I had (Nokia N95, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, Samsung Note II, Motorola Moto G). I know the button works well because, when my new G3 rings, a short press answers the call. When a call is in progress, short press hangs up. That is exactly what I would expect to happen.

I have checked more threads and I can see I am not alone. In my particular handset, Voice Mate assistant seems to have a missing option in configuration (there is no mention to the voice command that wakes-up the voice recognition engine - so no magic word/phrase brings the voice assistant up). Strange.

Now, about stock recovery. According to what you have just written, I assume that stock firmware, once it has been flashed to a phone, replaces whatever custom recovery I had previously installed with stock recovery, too. Am I right?

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and ideas.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:
Have no idea about that issue on bluetooth device. Maybe some cutom rom would fix it. Dont know. I dont use bluetooth device so I am not really familiar with them and tricks.

About your question. Yes, when you flash stock firmware (kdz or tot file) it will replace custom recovery and phone is reverted to completely stock state.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caballeroandante:
That is exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks a lot for your help. Regarding my bluetooth issue, I will keep trying to find out what is going on.

Hi, I have LG G3 D855P with lollipop of chupachups.

I can't set 4g to work.

4g was enabled by the cellular company + i tried to apply it for the codes 3845#*855# and define from some guide.

I have LTE enabled in my menu (3G\wcdma\lte auto)

Without losing root you would have to flash some custom Lollipop / prerooted / bumped Lollipop rom. That is the only way.

Confirming custom recovery installation process

Hello all,

I've recently swapped from an M8 to the G3, and am looking to install the latest Cloudy rom on it. It's a Canadian Rogers d852 model, which I have already successfully rooted. It's running the V20c OTA that I received from Rogers.

If I want to install the cloudy rom, the steps are as follows:

Download the TWRP recovery from here: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/help/help-thread-lg-g3-question-t2947298

Install the flashify app

Flash the downloaded recovery with flashify

Copy the ROM to phone, and wipe / install ROM via TWRP

Is that correct? Coming from the M8 the initial setup for ROM installation process seems incredibly simple, and I've seen a few horror stories about peoples recovery being flagged as 'not signed', with no known fix.

Are my steps correct?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfodra:

Yes, that is correct.

Just, befor wipe, make a nandroid backup in recovery.

Contrary to others advice, you cannot just "Flash" TWRP/CWM Recoveries to a LG G3 running "Rooted" Lollipop, either by "Flashify" or "ADB".

First time posting here, bought a D855 today and updated it to lollipop (v20h).

after booting, though, the phone does not show any systemui (no navbar and no status bar), i can finish the initial setup but i cant navigate the phone.

I tried reflashing an older firmware and it works just fine up until I update to Lollipop, and it happens both when I update through the phone or when I flash a firmware via my pc.

Is there any fix to this? Am I bound to KitKat forever?

If you are rooted, backup your data with titanium backup when on kitkat, then update, if the problem is still here make a factory reset and reroot (if it's possible lol) and restore your apps.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 573v3:
ROOT Is simply adding a File to the System, that allows other apps to elevate their permissions and read. write or execute anything on your device.

Sim/Network Unlock Allows a Phone bought for use on a specific Network, to be used on another Network.

Bootloader Unlock This usually allows you to flash (write to your phone's "hard drive") image files that haven't been signed with the official key from the folks who made your phone or tablet. A locked bootloader can flash a new recovery provided in an OTA update because the recovery was signed with the right key. It will fail to flash a custom recovery like ClockWorkMod. An unlocked bootloader will flash anything that fits, as long as you tell it to. Once a custom recovery (or sometimes a "Super" boot image) is flashed, you can install and erase custom built system firmware at will.

Unfortunately, (as far as I Know) we cannot unlock the LG G3 Booloader, but, we can use BUMP

. BUMP Signes the Image files to fool the Phone into thinking they are Official LG Image Files. Again Unfortunately we can only BUMP the aboot.img (Android Bootloader) for KitKat Software. Luckily, if we install a BUMP-ed Custom Recovery on KitKat, then we can Upgrade with a BUMP-ed Lollipop Software. OR. If we are already on Lollipop, we can downgrade the aboot.img (Android Bootloader) to a KitKat one and then install a BUMP-ed Custom Recovery.

Sorry this was long-winded, but I felt you were getting confused with terminology.;)

You did the correct thing using [MENTION=5231281]topet2k12001[/MENTION] 's http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3048845 Root+Bump+TWRP. If you did follow his Auto-Script (as you say) then you will see, he advises downloading "Root Checker" to make sure you have Root and BustBox properly installed. If you did all this, then, there is no need to duplicate the Rooting process as you seem to have done.:good:......

Yes you can. Just make sure that the kernel is for your software version (i.e. stock Lollipop ROM requires a kernel for Lollipop STOCK ROMs, do not flash AOSP kernels or you'll get trouble). Also make sure that the kernel is compatible with your device (i.e. for D855, D852 etc)

Always flash ROM first and then flash a compatible kernel; most ROMs come with a kernel so if you flash the ROM second your flashed kernel will be overwritten.
