I believe there is no Lollipop available at the moment.

Not having this issue. Have you tried clean install maybe?

Modem is important when going back from Lollipop to Kitkat or reverse.

To me, it always worked without flashing modem separetely. If you ever find in situation that you will need modem there si bunch of them posted here on xda.

But you can always make backup.

Here is the recovery that supports it: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/recovery-teamwin-recovery-modem-support-t2939088

Flash only ROMs that are for VS985. Do not flash roms that are not for that variant.

Can the display be damaged and only exhibit problems under certain conditions?

Info: I have hit my phone a couple of times with the bottom soft side of my clenched fist in times when I was annoyed by a game and I didn't have any problems up to now. (a bad habit from my previous galaxy s advance, this beast took a beating better than anything I've owned in my life)

So my question is, is it possible that I have somehow damaged the internals of the phone/display in such a way that there is no visual way to tell there is a problem?

In simpler terms, I downloaded a game called 'Retry' and only in this game I usually get thin white lines vertically on the screen very briefly. So with this example, is it possible there is a problem that only occurs under certain conditions, or is it just a software problem?

Thank you very much in advance! :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:
I would say it is a software issue if you only see those lines in that game.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scott M:
Na, I just ditched it. It was starting to run better and glitch less after a few reboots etc. But the lack of the restricted guest account completely unsold me to it.

I took the hit and went back to the original ROM, I then updated as far as the new OS then turned off the update warnings. They've completely over-complicated the guest mode and the new OS brings absolutely nothing to the G3. The G3 front end covers over all the fancy graphic stuff that Lollipop brings to the phone so, for me, it's completely pointless.

Oh, my battery was falling like a stone with Lollipop too.

Hi,

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:
Q7: How do I enter recovery mode?

Power off the phone. Press Volume down and power button. When you see LG logo, keep holding Volume Down, release Power and quickly press it again.

You will be asked to questions and choose YES on them (do not worry, factory reset will not happen) and congrats, you are in recovery.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
You can only SuperSU with TWRP. So, if you at least have TWRP, then your golden.

But, if you only have the stock recovery and have never installed TWRP, then to install TWRP, you have to be rooted. See the chicken before the egg conundrum with this?

Whether you use Flashify to flash TWRP (which Flashify requires root) or if you use the command line via adb, you still have to do SU, which means you have rooted.

The stock recovery doesn't know how to flash flashable zips like SuperSU. Only TWRP can, and once again, to install/flash TWRP, you have to be rooted since you are modifying system/protected partitions.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomeckis:
Thanks folks, at least I have TWRP. And everything it's ok, I have root! :)

Looking for a ROM

Hi, thanks for this thread! I'm not a noob per se (was pretty versed in all rooting, flashing, and modding ins and outs of the Samsung Galaxy series), but the G3 I'm still learning. I'm aware you can't root Lollipop after upgrading, so I have held off on installing the OTA (have the update checker frozen anyway). I know I have to:

Install TWRP / BUMP through ADB or FastBoot on KitKat

Find a Bumped or Pre-Rooted ROM and install it through TWRP

Then install SuperSU through TWRP

So far so good, right? Please tell me if I'm wrong, haha.

Now, I'm looking for either a Bumped version of the D855 v20E firmware that was released in Europe this past week (I've found one for 20C, but I would obviously prefer the 20E), or a pre-rooted version of the same firmware. I've been Googling and Searching the forums here, but haven't been able to find one. Anyone know where I could find a stock, v20E, Pre-rooted or Bumped version of the firmware? Thank in advance!!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:
Yeah, you got all right.

Weird, couldnt find also prerooted stock 20e.

Why not flash Cloudy or ChupaChups? They are closest to stock.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donaghy:
Thanks for your reply! Glad to know I have the order of things right, and thanks for looking into 20E. Here's to hoping it pops up sometime soon.

I looked into those actually, but I think I prefer to stay completely stock (just rooted), not 'close to stock'.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:
By "closest to stock" I meant they got rid of the bloatware and made some minimal improvements. Honestly, you will not notice if you are on stock or custom rom with them.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WIIstpM:
My questions:

1) I recently restored system data through Titanium Backup and I suddenly started getting "couldn't add widget" in recent apps. (it was showing a cut part of Quickremote before, but I uninstalled it then the couldn't ads widget started).

2)I can't set and lock the CPU frequency I choose :/ I'm usijg TricksterMod on Chupachups rom and kernel. I don't know if another app is causing this otherwise... My max frequency always gets lowered to 1.1Ghz-1.72Ghz after 2 secs, and sometimes the min freq gets above 300Mhz. The GPU too sometimes jumps freq... And yes I did tick the kernel settings to set it on boot

Well, I'm not a noob when it comes to phones, I'm just very confused what step to take next..... Previous experience has all been with Samsung (odin), htc, and nexus devices. Now, I have a nexus 5, but this is an entirely different animal.

I picked up a Sprint G3 yesterday for my girlfriend. I made a huge mistake by just handing it to her without rooting/updating prior. Well it got the unrootable zv6 update. I went through with flashtool and downgraded it to zv4 and rooted it with stumproot and supersu. Works great.

But, where do I begin now for installing a recovery for the purposes of doing a nandroid and efs backup. I also would like to go back to rooted zv6 without losing any data. Is this possible? whats the quickest way?

Thanks in advance. This phone has me lost compared to any other.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donaghy:
Hmm interesting. I gathered from the lists in the explanatory posts in their threads that they did add a few things (like themes, apps, etc) that are custom (ergo: not stock). Are those firmwares based on the very latest 5.0 firmware that you know of, or should this not make a difference in how they perform?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:
Maybe one more reset would fix that issue :D

I am oking

Try clearing Home cache/default in settings

Here it is:

Bump! - Unlock your LG G3 with TWRP! (Sprint)

TWRP touch recovery 2.8.2.0

Themes are optional. Only if you want them you can flash them after.

Their ROMs are based on V20E that is latest.

Trust me, there is no difference.

1st one you can do that. But 2nd one don't do that because it could be dangerous to flash as it flashes aot of partitions including the boot loader and you would lose your recovery too. Always flash stock Roms from recovery.

If you want lollipop just upgrade your recovery to 2.8.2.0, do a backup with modem included and flash a stock 20e ROM. If you flash a kdz from lg tool you may lose the bump exploit and you will remove your recovery.

Hi everyone!

I have a few questions, I've always been a Nexus guy, when i got the G3 I noticed that there are a lot of different things (Root process, android versions name and things like that), some things i cant understand yet, are:

A) Whats going on with the camera app? I read a lot of things about the quality of the photos and videos is not the same and that there are projects on the original camera apk but i cant understand what's going on with that yet.

B) When you root your device you're supposed to be rooted forever unless you go back to stock firmware or flash an unsupported version (Like 20E, idk??)

C) I like the stock firmware enough that i feel i can stick with it for a long time but I'm kind of a flashaholic guy (Not that addicted but a little), so I feel limited here because most of the roms available are aosp, but the other that are lollipop stock based roms still looks like aosp in the SC so I'm confused if I should give it a try or not, because I came from AOSP and that's the last thing i want in my device right now. (I was looking at chupachups, cloudy and androidnow hd)

D) Changing the kernel to the modified ones with new thermal throttling config, have any effects on battery life?

Thanks!!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Hello. I'll walk you through this best I can atm.

A What you are reading about is the camera used in ROMs being created (atm). LGs camera is amazing and not easily ported to other roms. So alternate camera (apps) do not match the quality of LGs

B "Forever" is a relative term. Once you root your device you can add whatever you like, as long as it is specific to your device model. To get your device back to "out of the box" new, you need to use the LG Toolkit and flash the KDZ file specific to your device.

C In this case... make a backup of your stock setup, as it is now. Store it in several places. I normally store it in both internal and external sd card. I also save a copy to my PC. In order to do this, you do need root and you will need a file explorer on your device (such as Root Explorer or MK Explorer). Lollipop does in fact look much more like AOSP, it's Googles direction they are taking.

D I will leave the kernel question to someone else, as I mainly use stock as well.

Good luck:good:
