My edit is that this thread is extemely outdated so alot of this information is bad now use with a grain of salt, i recommend looking at more recent threads.
As the G3 just became free on a 2 year plan from many Canadian carriers I decided to start a come here first thread that includes everything you need to know for the Canadian version, mostly because i myself found it hard to get going as there are so many variants and not alot of clear info as to what is supported and which roms are stable (there aren't any stable roms yet except stock KK/L.
I take no credit for any of this work just trying to organize some info.
Youtube video that shows how to get stump root and install bumped twrp
1st things first... ROOT.
Available rooting options for the D852:
- Stump - Suggested Method no computer required one click method - Verified working on KitKat (the method i used)
- Purpledrake - Verified working on KitKat. Have not tried this myself but several reports of this method working
- IORoot/towelroot - not known if these methods are working if anyone has tested please drop a message
2nd things 2nd... TWRP Recovery. thanks to the BUMP team Codefire.
- I used flashify to backup original recovery and flash the recovery listen above. I THINK the d852 is for bell and rogers and the d852g is for videotron.. i couldn't find reliable info to confirm this but i can confirm the file: twrp-2.8.0.0_d852-signed.img seems to be working on my bell version of the G3 although I haven't started flashing roms yet because from what i have been reading about the custom roms available for the 852, they aren't stable, and aren't better than the stock rom YET. (this should change very soon Candy, Validus and CM12 are making good progress towards stable versions). Right now though, they all have bugs with some basic functionality.
Recoveries:
Latest TWRP 2.8.3 with modem support
Roms:
-Solution for returning to stock ROM for Rogers or Bell (kdz available for both versions)
-Nothing custom yet that i'm convinced is stable enough to run as a main rom; only a bunch of roms in development that you can try if want to be a bug reporter/beta tester.
-Here is a link to some organized info on these development/beta versions
Working Mods:
-App for changing kernel settings (free version but also a paid version available) Trickster Mod Settings (once you find stable settings you like make sure to check set on boot or you'll lose settings after reboot)
-Thermal throttling mod (does not remove throttling just makes it slightly less restrictive; more info on the main thread.)
-RAM Management MOD (will give you slightly more RAM for multitasking)
-Xposed Framework installer (click show older versions and use 2.6.1 (worked alot better for me than the experimental build))
-LG G3 Tweakbox Module (everything worked that i tried but did not try every single feature only most of them) xda thread
-SD Card Fix app that will allow more programs to write to external sdcard folders that don't belong to it. (like pre kit-kat)
-Sixaxis Controller (PS3 Controller via bluetooth) mod. This mod has never worked for my other phones stock rom, but works on g3! there is a compatibility checker to test before buying paid version. check the act as android gamepack and enable in language and input to be able to use this app with most emulators.
-Remove OTA software update notification on stock roms.
- this handle little widget allows you to switch out to a custom launcher but keep the double tap on homescreen to turn off screen feature that works so well with knock code to unlock. the only catch is that you have to have a transparent widget in the location that you want to tap to turn off screen. (on my homescreen wallpaper i have a waterfall so i put it on the waterfall so i tap the waterfall to turn screen off)
- I highly recommend APEX LAUNCHER, i've tried almost every launcher out there IMO it's by far the best.
If you have a project or work you think should be included in the 852 repository please pm me or link your work; if it's stable and functional I will add it. If i made any mistakes let me know so i can fix, I've had the phone for a few days and by no means am I an expert, just trying to organize info and start a repository to get the ball rolling for people who are going to get this phone for Christmas or the near future.
A BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPS DEVELOP THE D852.
Build.prop tweaks (i recommend using build.prop editor from playstore to do these, if you manually edit it and make mistakes can cause bootloop (also possible if you put bad values into build.prop editor))
ro.sf.lcd_density=560 (this will give you more visible space on your screen, since the screen is massive i like this option) (on a smaller screen it would make things too small)
(default value is 640, obviously if you want to try a medium settings put in a value inbetween these too like 600)
persist.splitwindow.support_all=true (enable all apps in splitwindow mode)
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=150 (this is the amount of time between wifi scans in seconds, larger number will slightly increase battery life but take longer to find new networks without manual scan)
there are also lots more that i'm not going to put here because most of the other ones aren't phone specific (ie like the wifi one the same settings can be used on any phone)
reserved.
current highest antuntu benchmark : 40286 (with only the thermal throttling mod and stock kitkat)
if you change io sced to ondemand and gov to performance u can get 44000, battery life will drop a bit tho - trickster mod settings is a good app for this (free version available)
bump because several mods were added
Has anyone successfully applied Hello00 kitkat 4.4.2 theme mods to the D852? I tried both the dialer and the settings mods and they sent my phone into a bootloop... I tried on Cloudy 1.2 and stock ROM.

Hi
I got my lg g3 from koodo lollipop 5.0.1
Rooting was tricky but worked by this new method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197
I tried cm12.1, exodus-5.1, Mk5.1, Tesla-5.1. However I am on Cloudyg3-2.5 right now.
Unable to install xposed and I need help as you mentioned you were able to use almost all of the functions of G3 tweakbox.
When I tried installing it, I did as shown in most tutorials that installed the latest xposed-installer.apk then open grant root permission and then click on the warning and then click on framework and then click install button but the thing is that install button is not active and on some that I also tried older version it is disabled and the it says disabled manual only by recovery.
I tried flashing through recovery xposed-v74-sdk21-x86.zip but I got error saying error executing updater binary in zip. I checked through build.prop it says ro.build.version.sdk=21, ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a.
Also installed xpi.apk but no use.
When I use g3 tweakbox it requires xposed and the error is enable module in xposed.
When open xposed it say it is currently not active. did you install the framework and reboot.
A little confused. Can you help.

LG G3 canadian. NEED HELP
Hey man. seen u posted about the canadian versions. I want to UN ROOT, but have been given my LG G3 D852 from a MOBILE STORE in the Canadian Superstore so like a little kiosk.. My official service provider is KOODO, but can only find a STOCK ROM for BELL ROGERS AND VIDEOTRON. Not sure how to boot to stock without one for telus as KOODO is owned by Telus. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Is there no Telus rom? I know with fido you can just install the Rogers rom. Maybe look for a Telus rom. I could swear I saw one, it might be in a different folder from the other ones. There is a kdz and a tot method. Check out both of those servers.
You can find theTelus Stock Rom here. Dont' know for sure, but I think it works with Koodo as well.
Thank you so much for the list there. Is there a .ToT file as thats the only way i know how to stock flash is with the LG Flash tool and you need a .DLL and a .TOT file. unless im mistaken.

Hi all...
Just a quick question, I am sure someone will answer quickly and comprehensively. I have already used the search function on the forums and google but have not found a sure answer either way...
I have an LG Leon H340n the 4G LTE version. Originally a Vodafone UK Handset, unlocked with a code from ebay (not sure this info is relevant but I will put as much info on here as i can!)
Throughout use I have noticed its slowing down a LOT, so I thought id hunt down Cyanogen Rom or something else custom and speedy.
I am unable to find any roms that appear to be suitable for my handset (All are for different versions of the Leon, NOT H340n) and I am sure I can root it but am unsure as to which method of obtaining root would be the best?
Finally I would eventually need a Custom Recovery if I intended to install a Custom ROM (If one even exists!) so can someone recommend a good working version of CWM or TWRP or similar.
Thanks in advance!
WE NEED CUSTOM ROMS FOR THIS PHONE! (LG H340n 4G ).
ANY CUSTOM ROM MAKER, ANDROID PROGRAMMER, PLEASE HELP US!
WE HATE LG STOCK ROM, LIKE A HELL!
If you have rooted the phone, you cannot update to V20 (marshmallow). And if you updated to V20, you cannot root any more.
Check in Roms, Kernels, etc
there should be some usable ROM for your phone. It's in Lg Leon Android Development. Try to search there. and if you don't understand what I am talking about, then here is the link

Hi, really thanks for the support. Now I have LP F320L30D, i flashed it with KDZ guide. If i would go back to Kitkat (when it was when i bought it) what should i do? A simply flash with KDZ file like i did for LP? If so do i need to root + twrp before the kitkat installation for a fresh install rom by cleaning cache,dalvik etc or is enough to click CSE install by KDZ program?

If you want to go back to kitkat stock, just kdz back to it. No need to root or clean any cache. Just use the tool , download the kdz file and flash it via tool.

I asked that, because i have a problem about the mic during calls. I mean if i call or someone call me, the person does not hear me or hear my voce really really really low. Should be a software issues. I disabled "ok google" but nothing.

Are you having this particular issue on lollipop stock or all the rom your tried?
If its software issue, you can switch a rom and see if it gets resolved.

I had this issues like 4 days after i updated via OTA the Kitkat version that was stock (21Y) for another Kitkat version (22k) if i remember well. To be honest, dunno if this could be the problem. I though (hey, maybe this OTA ****ed me) so i changed the rom into 30D stock with KDZ method so i installed Lollipop. Now i choose to come back to Kitkat Stock maybe i can fix this. By the way in the xda server there are located 3x firmware for my model (F320L) so korean model
F320L21V_00
Korea LG U+ Kitkat F320L21P
LG u+ F320L11G
Which one should i take? In the original was called U+ 100% LTE.
If so then take the second one that says U+ and its a korean variant.
Honestly i dont own this variant so i know little much about these since i haven't performed any flash. I only own verizon hence i mostly help people based on successfully performing those actions by myself. I don't like to give you any directions without actually performing it irl so you choose which one is for your variant.
And if you ever want to go back to stock , just flash kdz. That would be all.
Good luck!

Hi all,
After trying at least 30 times the dirtysanta guide for H990, reading lot of pages for root and twrp and others... i really ask for someone to help me my H990ds.
I was at OREO and i downgrade to H990ds10b_00_OPEN_TW_DS_OP_1125.kdz to be able to root but with no success.
Please - Please someone to help me !!!!

Dear rooting process details are already in Dirty santa thread.
Kindly tell your problem, what you are facing or which step you are confused?
Hi,
Thank you for trying to help me.
I spent all night trying to figure out the issue. Every time with the dirty Santa tutorial, i stuck at LG logo for hours.
I ended by using "[Guide][Tutorial] Root TWRP LG V20 using Dirtysanta[Most Variants][Noobfriendly]" even that i noticed that it's not for my model.
The only thing that i change, is the TWRP.img, which i replace it with the latest TWRP version (recovery-twrp-h990-2018-10-18.img and rename it to TWRP.img).
I hope not to "destroy" somrthing cause as i already mention, the guide is not for my model (H990ds) but it worked!!!!
Unfortunatelly, after trying the 15.1 LOS and RR (RR-O-v6.2.1-20190131-h990-Unofficial.zip) i have a biggest issue:
Trying to making a call via Bluetooth , the listener get an echo like sound and lot of noise only in bluetooth ( bluetooth call / mic issues)!
Dear, first time, you will have to use the recovery which mentioned in dirty santa thread, there is a dedicated thread for h990 model. I have that model too.i have done it like atleast 50 times due to experiments.
After flashing recovery(original one thread), kernel and magisk, you can boot to fastboot and flash other recovery.
As far lineage or RR, i cant help, bcoz i did not use it bcoz of camera libs stock.
There could be bugs due to un availability of lg frame work and libs,
If you wana a all rounder rom, than move to stock one
Thank you....After soooo many hours trying, i'll go back to stock (TWN).
I like very much the RR rom but i can't afford the bluetooth bug!!!
