yes, the theme is about the same as kitkat but the notification shade's new look and notifications on lockscreen is enough to make the switch. It's also a bit more fluid.. so no complaints with that either.

unfortunately still no support for 5.0 camera APIs. So outside of UI changes... not much of a jump.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
From the information you have, would we be able to flash an official stock LP rom through twrp and keep root and custom revovery?

I know xposed isn't going to be ready for LP yet, but soon. Plus all the modules would have to be updated for 5.0+ support.. I believe.
[T-Mobile LG G3] autoprime:
the best course to take will be to flash L system.img, boot.img and modem.img thru TWRP... which would then keep root with no fiddling or waiting for new 5.0 root methods. Yes, it's possible to root 5.0 but if you already have TWRP no need to make it harder than it has to be. I will also make a TWRP flashable zip to safely upgrade the boot stack.

So.. flashable zip for system/boot/modem... and flashable zip for boot stack. All done... rooted and fully updated on 5.0.1.

You will most likely NOT be able to simply flash the official OTA.zip in TWRP... but a custom zip will be out same day as OTA so no worries there.

Updated bootloader is not locked and is confirmed safe to upgrade to (D851 only).

Few more days to go :good:
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
Good to know thank you.

[MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] perhaps you know this: Bluetooth LE has been missing in the various Lollipop custom ROMs for the D851 and I assumed that this is because the BT stack was taken from the D855 international ROM and the BT h/w in our device is different. Generally I am surprised that the differences in h/w between the various carrier and unlocked regional versions, especially when it comes to LTE band availability. If I have guessed right about there being a difference in BT hardware too, I can't work out why LG wouldn't want to have as much consistency as possible in their hardware sourcing. Not least to help with rollouts like the current LP one.
[T-Mobile LG G3] autoprime:
afaik the BT stack used in D851 aosp roms is pulled from D851 stock. but tbh I pay no attention to both aosp and BT. I don't use either for anything I do. Not sure if BT on aosp will improve after L OTA... but possible.

one of the aosp maintainers would be able to answer this better than myself.
[T-Mobile LG G3] kfj001:
With the D855 comes another snapdragon chip. I *think* the BT core is on the main chip as well, so different chip, different BT core, different Wifi, etc.
[T-Mobile LG G3] fix-this!:
Im not worried about it. Stock lg roms lag like hell anyways. Just got my g3 yesterday and immediatly loaded aosp lollipop. All i want from the ota is the new radios or firmware.
[T-Mobile LG G3] sublimaze:
Are you saying the stock launcher lags, or the entire stock UI? Nova launcher has zero lag for me. The stock quick toggle animations are sluggish, but I don't change those enough for it to bother me. I have no interest in flashing AOSP rom on mine because I will lose WiFi calling and camera optimizations. The G3s outstanding camera is one of the main reasons why I got it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
So I wonder if VoLTE is included on this update too. It feels like they said when the phone came out we would be getting it soon.. Here it is 8 mos later and still nada.
[T-Mobile LG G3] dialanothernumb:
I found The G3's stock ROM on T-Mobile to be pretty smooth indeed. LG Launcher is a bit sticky but the Google Now replacement worked well. I'm surprised that you decided that the stock ROM lagged within a day of purchase. Each to their own, I guess.

Working here - just rebooted to check. I have 2 APN's under Settings>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names - they are T-Mobile LTE (fast.t-mobile.com) and EPDG MMS (tmus). I'm assuming you are using the T-Mobile LTE APN?
[T-Mobile LG G3] mingkee:
Did anybody try to dial 3845#*851# and check RAT selection in LTE only setting?
[T-Mobile LG G3] sasidhar79:
I did and selected GSM/wcdma /LTE and rebooted and now it sticks to LTE.
[T-Mobile LG G3] sasidhar79:
No it does not, it goes back to gsm/wcdma on recharge.
[T-Mobile LG G3] msarnowski:
Sorry for the noobish question, but do I need to do any cache wipe or anything if just flashing a modem? Or can I just flash modem and reboot?

I'll try this method and see if LTE sticks for me if someone can verify the appropriate method. Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
In regards to VoLTE efficiency...
[T-Mobile LG G3] Syntax323:
Huh? That's just a speed test for you LTE data speed...

That doesn't have anything to do with VoLTS, besides voice goes through it. (If you live in the right area I guess)

Oh, oops. Didn't notice you were in a call. My bad haha.

Is that even Lollipop? You have the kit Kat Nav buttons on the bottom?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:

I am using SR Remix ROM.. Would it be OK to use OTA next week directly when it's available? Or do I need to revert to something else first?
[T-Mobile LG G3] sasidhar79:
I called my voice-mail while on 4Glte and it switches to 4G. I have voLTE turned on. This radio is very buggy I am wondering whether this will go onto ota?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Vegasden:
It depends on where you live. This list (which T-Mobile hasn't updated) are the only cities that voLTE work. http://www.androidcentral.com/heres-you-list-new-t-mobiles-new-wideband-lte-and-volte-markets
[T-Mobile LG G3] mingkee:
I had same problem on the first installation, but it works fine after the second installation (with full wipe).
[T-Mobile LG G3] sasidhar79:
My first installation was via LG support tool, now I am rooted and have TWRP so can I wipe and flash via TWRP?
[T-Mobile LG G3] mingkee:
Both were done with KDZ method (mine is white so LG tool didn't work).
[T-Mobile LG G3] sasidhar79:
Kdz method means via LG support tool?
[T-Mobile LG G3] mingkee:
Read the sticky. There's three manual flashing methods (TWRP, TOT, and KDZ).
[T-Mobile LG G3] wolf5150:
Not updated is right. VoLTE is live for me in the metropolis of Wenatchee, WA. Don't act like you haven't heard of it
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
Probably because you're not too far out from Seattle and Bellevue. Seattle was the first city to get VoLTE and Bellevue is the home of TMo..
[T-Mobile LG G3] tidus1ph:
I'm on Rooted stock kitkat. Will I lose root?
[T-Mobile LG G3] mingkee:
You can regain it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
I made a solid twrp install of 20B in the firmware thread. You can dirty flash but I would recommend wiping data and system for a for sure no problem install. Either way you can root 20B before you boot to it the first time if you use the twrp method.

Alright so I'm on D85110c stock rooted and I'm going to flash it back to stock so I can send it lg to get the mic and ir blaster cracks fixed. After I flash it should I leave it on D85110c unrooted or update it to lollipop? I want to have rooted lollipop after, what's the best way to go about this?
[T-Mobile LG G3] VivaLaCam92:
yeah that list is way overdue for an update.

they haven't put a single city in NC or SC up and I've found it works throughout the entire state of NC and the more populated areas of SC no issues what so ever since day one.
[T-Mobile LG G3] armyranger172:
So i have been looking all over and maybe i am just too tired, but i cant figure out why tethers and networks FCs on me. I thought i found something that said it was because of xpossed? I was wondering if there is a fix? im on lollipop, stock, rooted.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Papote3:
It's a known bug in LG LP based roms with xposed installed.

Remember that xposed for Lp is only in alpha stage and it's bound to be full of bugs.
[T-Mobile LG G3] rhaspody:
i just want to ask before i flash this rom. is there any way to enable tethering maybe using xposed module? or something

. th a ts the only thing keeping me from flashing

Lollipop update failed?

This morning I had a system update notification, 619MB to get to Lollipop. After a long download, clicking install, and a reboot, I'm still on 4.4.2, D85110r.

Anyone else seen that? I was rooted but a few months ago I unrooted trying to get ISIS/Softcard working before giving up and using Google Wallet.
[T-Mobile LG G3] anoymonos:
I woke up with ota notification but battery was too low to download. I put my other fully charged battery and now it says im up to date on KK. Im from Chicago btw.
[T-Mobile LG G3] VivaLaCam92:
my wifes phone did the same thing a few weeks back when she updated on her sprint g3.. second time was a go.

as far as getting isis wallet to work there's a nifty xposed module that tricks whatever app(s) you choose into thinking your phone isn't rooted. can't recall the name of it though. that's what i did to get myself a free $50 lol.
[T-Mobile LG G3] dmensch:
I tried an XPosed module too, but never did get Softcard working on my LG G3- it had worked fine on my Galaxy S3.

Lollipop update! When I ran the Windows LG Mobile Support Tool, it told me that D85110r (4.4.2) was the latest available for my phone. Clicking on Options | Upgrade Recovery seems to be forcing in D85120B. I'm going to be late for work but at least I won't be in a lousy mood all day.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Papote3:

[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
Yall should try clear data in google play services and see if it comes up. Might have to do it a couple of times and reboot but it should force check it.

i installed the lollipop update and had some problems so i flashed back to 4.4.2 and now i have no service any idea how to fix this?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Papote3:
You installed LP directly from T-Mobile OTA?
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
I just did the same thing so I could try and capture the ota zip. The update did somthing to the phone or sim so now lte will not work on old versions of the firmware. Go into settings/tethering & networks/mobile networks/network mode and change it to gsm/wcdma auto. You should now have voice and 4g (hspa). Don't worrie about the loss of lte you get it back when you go back to lollipop. *Edit* atleast I did ymmv
[T-Mobile LG G3] brusslesprouts:

I did that but does not work
[T-Mobile LG G3] brusslesprouts:
i used LGFlashTool and flashed the TOT file
[T-Mobile LG G3] sasidhar79:
T-Mobile is preventing west coast from getting the OTA probably to balance and even out the load.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
After doing it, when you go to update center does it give you a date like 1969 or something? If so just keep clearing data and force stopping it. I did it a few times when I never got the R update and it worked. It resets your location. On JB and ICS it was google services framework, but with KK they integrated it into play services.. Not guaranteeing anything, but it worked for me on ICS, JB, and KK.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Very odd, I thought it was because you still had the lollipop modem but thats not it. Good luck on lollipop I hope the ota works as good for you as the kdz guts work for me.
[T-Mobile LG G3] sasidhar79:
Trying your method.

Btw if i get OTA and I download it , how can i pull it from my phone for the community?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
I honestly don't remember. I know it's in the data folder just not sure which subfolder.. Maybe data/fota?

You could also try clearing data in google framework too..
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
/system/etc/fota or lgfota

I could be wrong
[T-Mobile LG G3] Papote3:
You have to be rooted, and have already downloaded the OTA, don't update until you grab that OTA...

Go to the root of the device and from there go to the cache folder

/cache/fota

I think that's the right one
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
I think you're right.

[T-Mobile LG G3] N!ghtgold:
This is how to get the upgrade to work.. I had the same issue you had.

OPen the Lg Mobile support tool but dont plug in your phone.

Click on options then go to upgrade recovery.

Click the bottom circle box for IMEI/ESN/MEIND

Input your imei number and click ok

Pull you battery or power off the phone hold the volume up and plug the phone into your computer.

It should enter the download mode or whatever its called haha.

Once it finishes downloading the software update it will then flash it to your phone.

This worked for me hope it can help someone out there.

I have confirmed this on 3 phones 1 white 2 gun metal

Sorry for if this is a little messy just got off from working 12 hours and my brain is tired as hell
[T-Mobile LG G3] deron37129:

Not that worried about the update now. Just wish I could get LTE back after KDZ back to 10r. I guess replacing sim card would not help.
[T-Mobile LG G3] truckerdewd:
One person said tech support told them it was halted but another had tech support told them it wasn't halted in the same thread. Another in a different thread just said it was on hold probably from him reading the first thread and there is no official word that it has been put on hold. Another person gave the best and most logical answer that it would roll out in waves as not to bog down the update server. Take what you read on those forums with a grain of salt. The only official word about updates is from the carrier themselves, nit users in a forum that read it on some news site/blog/forum.
[T-Mobile LG G3] mingkee:
You should backup before update, and wipe during the update, and restore afterwards to avoid any problem.

I had wireless broken problem on the first installation, but the problem is gone after the second installation and wipe.

I used KDZ method and same 5.x stock ROM.
[T-Mobile LG G3] brusslesprouts:
im in the same boat. Im thinking its a EFS issue but cant be fixed
[T-Mobile LG G3] huntnyc:
Sorry to hear that. If no resolution comes, will have to spend on new phone which would be a shame because except for this issue, I love this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G3] brusslesprouts:
you can flash back to lollipop and you will get your service back. Thats what i did
[T-Mobile LG G3] huntnyc:

Does your LTE stick after reboots?
[T-Mobile LG G3] brusslesprouts:
yea i have no problems with LTE or 4g on lollipop i just couldnt get my phone to read my sdcard so i switched back to 4.4 and then had no service what so ever.
[T-Mobile LG G3] mistere372002:
Lollipop Update Lg G3

Your absolutely right about sending the OTA in waves. The OTA's are sent out by Serial Numbers in blocks so the servers don't get bombed by everyone updating at once.

This morning, I tried an old trick by forcing the update by clearing the cache on Google Services Framework and then checking for the update. Unfortunately, this did not work as my "block" is not up for the update yet.
[T-Mobile LG G3] jfleegle:
When my Galaxy Tab S 10.5 recently upgraded to Lolipop, I had a similar issue with it not reading the SD Card. The card shows properly in Settings -> Storage, but any apps that hadanything on the SD Card were saying they weren't installed. I rebooted it a couple times and nothing happoened, so I set it aside since I was at work and couldn't dig too deeply into it.

Later that day, I checked on it again, and all my apps were working perfectly fine. Maybe you were seeing the same thing.
[T-Mobile LG G3] brusslesprouts:
I cant see mine in storage. When the phone is on and i push it in it says sd card inserted but does nothing after that. I thought it was maybe my card so i put it into my sisters g3 with lollipop on verizon and it worked fine also when i downgraded to 4.4 it starts working again. its just something with that update so ill wait for the OTA
[T-Mobile LG G3] SaMirakle:
Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone has gotten the Lollipop OTA update successfully yet or not. I'm in TX and I've been checking since yesterday but nothing is showing :(

Also, does anyone know whether the updates are pushed OTA based on IMEI # or device firmware recognition? :confused: Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G3] bikrame:
4 post above yours
[T-Mobile LG G3] SaMirakle:
Great. I guess I won't be getting it OTA then. My IMEI isn't a G3 anymore due to a very unfortunate incident. Although, I just talked to a friend that works at T-Mobile and he says I should still be able to get the OTA regardless of the IMEI not matching. Worst case scenario I'll have to do a manual flash when the stock ROM is actually uploaded somewhere.

Note

: Before buying a used phone from anyone make sure it doesn't have insurance on it. I was a victim of insurance fraud and they blacklisted my G3 because the seller reported it stolen 3 months after I bought it from him.
