[T-Mobile LG G3] AndroidPurity:
I been waiting for this so bad. I'm so glad its finally here! But still very very weary about updating it since its only available on LG tool and it is only 5.0.1. When I had 5.0.1 on my Nexus 5 is what pretty horrible. Filled with bugs! I had to stop using my Nexus 5 until 5.1 came out. 5.1 is miles better. So I worry my G3 will be filled with bugs of I go to 5.0.1.

So I'm either waiting until I see several dozen people confirm 5.0.1 is good on the G3 updating from a clean wipe (only seen like 2-3 in this thread so far), or waiting for 5.1. My guess as to why T-Mobile only did the tool and not an OTA is so the people who really want it can get it now, and so if there's lots of bugs it doesn't effect many people so they can fix it with out major disaster wide spread.

Do you guys think LG will go to 5.1 on the G3? I think it looks promising since they updated the G2 from 4.2 to 4.4 to 5.0. Hopefully G3 has one more update in store to smooth things out with lollipop.

I think we will get 5.1, hopefully with the new LG UX interface but that's wishful thinking. Likely it will just be a selling point for the G4.

LG Mobile Tool and Smooth Running Lollipop

Manually updated from KitKat to Lollipop with some apprehension last night. I had read all the fear mongering comments about lagging, not updating and memory leaks and the "White" issue. The manual update went smooth. The recommendation from a post several pages back is spot on. Here is a summary.

Download the Lg Mobile Tool.

Shut off your phone.

Start the Lg Mobile Tool.

Hold the volume up key while plugging the USB cable (be sure to be on a USB 2.0 port). You are now in the download mode.

Wait for the Lg Mobile tool to recognize your phone.

It will state that your phone has the most current software.

In the upper right hand side of the Lg Mobile Tool, select Options>Recovery Update.

Wait for the tool to download and unpack the software. The tool will begin the upgrade shortly.

When the tool is done, let the phone sit (it's difficult because you want to see what is going on) for 10 to 15 min. while the update is updating your apps and the play store.

You will have a notice that the Google Play Services needs permission.

Open the Google Play Service app and then close it.

Reboot the phone and let it sit for another 5 minutes.

The update is complete. The biggest issue I had was the Google Play services took a little bit to update. Which caused me to have to log back into Google to get more updates. You will know when it has updated because the background on the slide out menu of the Play Store will change to a Lollipop background instead of the normal green background.

After a night playing around and checking things out. And this morning I have not noticed any issues.
[T-Mobile LG G3] brusslesprouts:
did everything you said but once i hit update recovery i got a pop up box saying check out the model and serial number. This is a brand new g3 not rooted

nvm just flashed the kdz file instead worked fine.
[T-Mobile LG G3] mistere372002:
Check Model and Serial Number

Just for clarification, if you get the pop up you did not wait long enough for the Lg Mobile Tool to recognize your phone. The Lg Tool will tell you that the phone is connected. This is when you choose the upper right drop down of Options>>Recovery Update.

Glad you got it working!

[T-Mobile LG G3] mistere372002:
LG Tool Pop up

Did you put your phone in the Download Mode? And did you computer recognize the connection?

Turn off your phone.

Unplug the USB cable.

Hold the volume up button and plug in the phone.

Wait for the application to recognize your phone <---- this is important!

Choose the upper right menu Options>>Recovery Update.
[T-Mobile LG G3] bikrame:
yes . doesnt this mean its connected
[T-Mobile LG G3] mistere372002:
Nope, Look at the upper left side. The software is waiting for the phone to connect to the software. Give it a little bit. It may be installing drivers.

You may have to install the USB drivers. Follow the instructions shown in the application.

[T-Mobile LG G3] hawkstwelve:
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet or not but it looks like the OTA is set to roll-out on April 7. Why T-Mobile has decided to wait another 5 days is beyond me, but it's coming. :good:

[T-Mobile LG G3] brusslesprouts:
So is there a fix for the sd card not being read?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Syntax323:
Hey. It won't show up in app drawer as an app.

The best most efficient way to do this is, download "Launcher Pro" from Play Store. Though you do not need to use it, you just need its activity feature.

Other launchers will work, but this one is the most light weight.

Launcher Pro Play Store direct link

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fede.launcher

After you install it, go to home page, tap and hold so you get to the widgets screen. Look for the 'Activities' widget and add it. A screen will pop up with all activities on your phone. From there you have to find google dialer. Select it, than select the phone or dialer activity or whatever it is. There you go, now you have an Direct icon for the dialer.

Let me know if you need any help.

For those have already updated to 5.x, do you notice the cellular signal is still active even VoWi-Fi is active? The cellular signal used to be blank when VoWi-Fi was active.

For those who try to use KDZ method, you don't have to go to download mode. LG Flash Tool will take care of it.

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

I think you still can save your phone as long as you can access download mode. I had mine bricked once, but I still could manage to bring it back by using KDZ method and enter download mode, but you need to have a reliable USB cable with cable driver installed (LG Mobile Support Tool or LG PC Suite will take care of it).

Sometimes you can try different USB port to find a right one (it happens on my laptop even two ports are on one side: one works and another doesn't).

[T-Mobile LG G3] mjfrank:
Here's the deal. For some reason beyond me, T-Mobile & Lg decided that the two different model numbers for the two colors....lame, but the way it is. Currently, the lg mobile tool only has the ability to upgrade the black model....so you have two options....go to the 5.0.1 thread, root your white model and apply the update manually (I did it for my wife's phone last night...no issues) or hold out until the OTA set to begin to roll out on this coming Tuesday...the choice is yours. You might not like the options....but those are the only two to get you to lollipop.

---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------

Dude, you need to have the LG Drivers installed. But since you can get into Download Mode (hold the volume up and plug in the USB cable to the computer). Follow this tutorial using the KDZ method to return to stock.

BUT! before you do anything, install the LG Drivers on your computer first.
[T-Mobile LG G3] 00dahc:
The LG tool won't install. It hangs at about 10% complete.

I dug around online and found hundreds of posts stating the same thing. No solution.

Anyone here figure this issue out?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G3] mistere372002:
Do you mean on your computer? or after it is installed and connected to your phone?

Edit

Install the LG Drivers first. Then the LG Tool.
[T-Mobile LG G3] 00dahc:
I mean the application itself will not install. It sits at 5-10% and hangs.

This isn't related to any drivers, as this is before I even interface with the phone.

If you search "lg mobile support tool hangs" you'll see hundreds of threads on this. No solutions thus far.
[T-Mobile LG G3] mistere372002:
I understand. But I followed LG's instructions and did not have any issues. Granted the images are outdated. But it worked just the same. It states Step 1: Install the drivers, Step 2: Restart the computer, Step 3: Install the LG Tool. Give it a try buddy, what do you have to loose?
[T-Mobile LG G3] bikrame:
Of course i do have drivers and i cant boot into download mode !!# only fastboot mode !!

Yup same thing happened to me and now my phone is on fastboot mode with nothing working !!!
[T-Mobile LG G3] 00dahc:
Thanks. The update instructions relevant to this upgrade path are different and more logical.

http://www.lg.com/us/support/product-help/CT10000003-CT10000027-1412198655480

Either way, I tried your steps for the fun of it to no avail.
[T-Mobile LG G3] mistere372002:
Ok, Lets start from the beginning.

Prepare your phone:

Enable developer options: Go to your phone’s Settings » select About phone » Scroll to the bottom and tap on “Build number” seven times to enable developer options

Enable USB Debugging: Open phone’s Settings » select Developer options » Tick the “USB debugging” checkbox (under Debugging section)

Connect your phone to PC with a USB cable and if/when a pop-up screen shows up on Phone asking you to ‘Allow USB debugging?‘ for the computer, make sure you tick the checkbox and tap OK

Allow USB Debugging

[IMG="Allow USB Debugging"]http://www.theandroidsoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Authorize-computer-for-USB-Debugging.png[/IMG]

When you are ready to start the restore,

Disconnect your phone from PC.

Power off your G3 and wait 4-5 seconds after lights go off.

Hold the Volume Up button on phone, and while holding it, connect the phone to PC using a USB cable.

Bro i am in fastboot mode means no download mode no recovery no turm on !!!
[T-Mobile LG G3] Syntax323:
There is 1 more option, and it's the easiest of them all.... KDZ Manual Update Method. Very very easy, and very fast. I was in same situation last night with my Girlfriends 100% full stock white T-Mobile LG G3. This is what I did, and it literally was done updating to lollipop, didn't even have to wipe data or anything, just updated and it works perfectly. Took less than 15 minutes. Follow the directions step by step, they are easy, not technical, and you'll be good. Don't have to root at all.

First off, download the Lollipop KDZ. from here -

http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW3FF2603284A6732660FIL/D85120B_00.kdz

Next Download LG Flash Tool 2014 from here -

http://oceanhost.eu/mipqojfvv9ti/LG_Flash_Tool_2014.zip.html

Download the USB Driver if you don't have it installed on your computer yet. (This is for the LG G3 to be recognized) -

http://oceanhost.eu/ed0bnrnghgef/LGUnitedMobileDriver_S51MAN312AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.12.3.exe.htm

If you do install the USB drivers, restart your computer when you're done.

Now follow these steps.

1. Make sure you are at least at 50% battery

2. Power phone off

3. Enter download mode by holding the volume up button + plug the phone into the computer from a powered off state

4. Extract the LGflashtool2014.zip somewhere for easy access, desktop would be fine.

5. Find the D85120B-00.kdz that you downloaded earlier, and put that in the lgflashtool2014 folder that you just extracted

6. Open the LGflashtool2014 folder that you just extracted, right click and Run LGFlashTool2014.exe as administrator

7. select type [CDMA] (Yes CDMA works just fine for our T-Mobile GSM phones DO NOT USE THE OTHER OPTIONS)

8. phone mode [diag] (should already be set)

9. reset time [33000] (should already be set)

10. select the KDZ file you extracted from inside the flashtool folder (D85120B_00.kdz)

11. Now, if you are on stock kitkat and just want to upgrade to Lollipop without doing a wipe, select [normal flash], otherwise if you're coming from a different ROM or want fresh wipe select [CSE flash]

12. click [start]

13. In the screen that pops up with Country and language, it'll say Korea or something, just leave everything on this screen alone. Just ignore it pretty much, it says korea and what-not but it won't be that, it'll go to English. It will figure itself out, just click OK on the bottom.

Now, it will do its thing by itself. Just leave it be. It should take less than 3 minutes at this point to flash it. Mine was like 2 minutes on the dot.

Any questions just ask.
[T-Mobile LG G3] RussianBear:
Download mode precedes fastboot. Read the above post on how to enter it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] sykozylot:
Thanks for the guide. Will this preserve root? If not, do we have a way to root lolipop yet?

No you will lose root with this. This is for those who have stock.

Yup, we got root. I was already rooted on kk, so twrp prompted me that I should root lolli as well lol

That is bizarre. Well, I'll give it a shot. It definitely won't hurt anything flashing modem over again. Would be great if it fixed it.

Also does anyone know how volte works? How does it decide when it will use volte?

This morning to test it out I called my voicemail and it was definitely volte so it sounded. Than to test I called my gf phone and at first it states 4glte but right when she answered it dropped lte and just said 4g. Every call I make now drops LTE and stays on only 4g.

I made sure volte is on, and it was definitely turned on on her phone. We both had full bars speed test 36mbps down so??? How do you use it?

Also made sure it didn't bug out in mobile network settings and drop LTE in there but it didn't. As soon as you hang up the phone I re gain full LTE.

Really for me, lollipop will be no different than kitkat. Since ice cream sandwich android has supported everything nativity that I could want (otg being the biggest on the list).
