[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yusufmotiwala:
Hi, I understand that part. However Q2 of your FAQ is a bit alarming and so was the question. As I learnt from another thread that EFS backup is not required when flashing stock with FlashTool (please correct). Can you please add more info in which cases EFS backup is required. For now, I went ahead without EFS backup and everything went smooth.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
If your EFS gets corrupted/wiped by what cause whatsover (usualy bad flashes) you`ll not be able to connect to 3/4G or wifi anymore and you cannot make calls anymore cause your IMEI number, Macadress and other files will be gone/ not accessable. So backing-up your EFS folder and storing it on your pc is a wise thing to do.

BTW the FlashTool will and can not restore your EFS folder.

I have a bit of a puzzler. The only non-mac remaining in my house is an ancient winxp custom jobber that isn't hooked up to the internet. This was the computer i used to root my phone. So, I installed an external sd card. Now, every time i connect the phone to it via usb, both drives show as 32 gig unrecognisable drives(the external is 128gig), and the phone corrupts the drivers, forcing me to reinstall the stock usb drivers, the lg drivers, and the exFAT patch. I am using usb debugging, and I prefer to avoid using the sdcard reader, as it is a pain to hook it up. I bypass this with a flash drive and stickmount, but it is a royal pain nonetheless.I am running kitkat 442.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donaghy:
Silly question, probably, but I have no experience with TWRP and flashing firmwares onto G3 (used to own a bunch of Galaxy's, so...):

I am in the process of flashing a bumped Lollipop (20F) to my KitKat phone. I've done all the preparatory work (installed a bumped TWRP, copied the ROM zip to my phone etc), but now I'm a little uncertain about how to proceed.

Everything I'm reading says: "boot into TWRP, wipe your phone completely, then install ROM." Simple enough. However, that would also wipe my internal SD card, INCLUDING the ZIP of the Lollipop ROM I placed on there to flash. I have no external SD card, so I'm forced to place in the root of my internal SD.

Question: is there a way around this? Flash first, then wipe? Or does that screw things up? OR Can I place a file back on my phone AFTER a wipe, via USB, and while in TWRP? This last thing seemed possible for a hot minute (my phone connected to my PC while in TWRP earlier, but I can only re-create that once every few tries now).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:
Wipe will wipe only system partition. Just make backup in TWRP before, then do wipe and flash custom rom.

I have one question:

In settings, where I can choose APN's and configure my internet connection and mms's i can check only one APN. I have to choose between working internet and sending and receiving mms. When one is working the second isn't. Before LG G3 I had Samsung S3 and there I could check 2 APN's: one for internet and one for mms. Is this possible in G3?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:
No.

Why would you make full wipe that would wipe internal storage? Just make normal wipe that wipes system only.

No need to full wipe everything. If you wipe everything of course you will not have anything on phone.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donaghy:
Well, that's exactly my problem. All the posts I've been reading in the threads about flashing the 20F Lollipop say: If you come from KitKat (like I am), FULL WIPE before flashing Lollipop (someone even said "in TWRP, check the box for everything but External Storage"). Anything else is said to cause problems, hence my question :) Again, these questions wouldn't be necessary if I had any experience with TWRP, but I don't (so I don't know what happens after I wipe: does the phone reboot? Do stay in TWRP, with a possibility to connect my phone to my computer from TWRP and then copy + flash?).
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:
Phone stays in TWRP.

And by full wipe people always think on system wipe, not internal storage.

Mate, just wipe system, not storage partition. Copy rom before on phone, wipe system and flash.

LTE menu

Hi, hope you all are well. Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm actually very very satisfied with my LG G3. Its amazing. No issues.

The problem started when my carrier upgraded to LTE (I'm in Pakistan).

My phone, a D855 3gb AME variant doesn't show the LTE option in network mode.

The LTE works perfectly if I activate it through the hidden menu, though.

Its just that I switch batteries (external charger). And upon restart, I have to reactivate through the hidden menu. Its troublesome and annoying. There's no customer support here. So I am left to my own devices (punny).

I've sufficiently explored options. There's an app that allows me to do this (network switcher or something) however its inelegant. Barring this, I have a few options.

1) upgrade officially and stock firmware update (for this option, I don't know if I do 20f euro stock ROM. Or some other ROM . would need guidance on that.

2) I root and change a line in the code( read it somewhere)

3) root and install a nice custom ROM

Currently, I like option one. I'd like to be o. Stock LG ROM, albeit a European one so I can keep getting nice OTAs. The AME (arab/middle east) one is annoying.

Could anyone help me with their thoughts and opinions? Thanks again.
