Hi
So i have been here (XDA) for a while and recently i get more and more annoyed (as you can see in my signature) when people post questions that create more questions
For Example :
[Q] After kdz update phone dont boots up
Hello,
before 30 minutes I flashed the kdz file for android 4.1.2 for my region.
My problem is that my phone didnt boot since then.. it stucks at the LG logo.
What can I do?

This was posted in general Q&A L3 L3II L5 L5II L7 L7II
Now How In The Hell To Answer Safely And Correctly ?????
Well that's where THIS post comes to place
I will explain how to ask question in order get the answer fastest possible
These Are Questions
You NEED To Answer In YOUR Post
(more of them you answer the bigger chance you get for quick resolution)
1. What exact phone model is it ? (check the sticker under the battery and include it in your post)
2. Did you use any guide ? (best if you paste the link and include it in your post )
3. What exactly where you doing (post what were trying to do, name of apps/programs you were you using etc.)
3.a If you have app problem make sure to include name of the app and source of download
3.b If You have flash problem make sure to include FULL name of the ROM and flash file also include source of download, program used to flash/update(if you are using CWM / TWRP / OR / or any custom recovery make sure to post VERSION number), your operating system, Usb ports info (1.x, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1), was / is your battery full,
4. Can you provide LOGCAT ? GUIDE HERE If Needed (adb for windows in attachment)
5.Can you provide SCREENSHOTS ?
to provide screenshots without any app, root or trouble use adb (if you on linux no need to explain, if you on windows see link at the bottom) paste this code to terminal/cmd and press enter every time you want to make screenshot
For linux/ubuntu/etc.
Code:
adb shell screencap -p | sed 's/\r$//' > screen.png
For OsX
Code:
adb shell screencap -p | perl -pe 's/\x0D\x0A/\x0A/g' > screen.png
For Windows (*no 1 liners don't work)
Code:
adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/screen.png
adb pull /sdcard/screen.png
adb shell rm /sdcard/screen.png
This will make screenshot named screen.png and save it (linux and osx home folder) (windows adb folder or root of system drive (i.e. c:\) depending on configuration) {rename "screen.png" to your desired name and remember this will overwrite the previous screen if name stays the same}
5. Post answers in YOUR POST and wait for me or someone else to happily answer (not bombard you with questions before we can help you)
SIMPLE SOFT-BRICK GUIDE
adb_fastboot_and_other_tools.zip* 1.extract it to any folder 2.open the folder 3.press shift key on keyboard and right click the mouse and select "open command window"
your cmd will open here and you will be able to use adb and more if needed

can you see any devices in device manager ?
like:
adb ?
ports ?
usb composite device ?
does phone display anything ?
does it boot ?
can you get into "download mode" ? (pull battery out, plug usb to pc, press and hold vol- button, plug usb to mobile, wait few seconds, put battery back) it should display Download Mode on black screen then try kdz

Kernels for LG E400
Hi,
I'm a new user of XDA, but I've already tested part of ROMs for my phone (model in title).
I have a little question about kernels: some ROMs have a kernel in other ZIP file. But after correct installation (by CWM Recovery) I have blurred screen. Now I'm using JellyBeanRevenge (or some like that ) and it's work fine, because Author gave good instructions; but in some of other kernels don't works. Why?

Are you sure the kernel was for your baseband ? ie v10x; v20x ?
when changing roms v10 to v20 and back certain files get rewritten and not in same format anymore so errors occur
also not all kernels are stable and everyday use
so.. read about the source and features / defects of kernel you want to install and ensure you check if your base stock rom is v10 or v20
1) So I'm completely new, is there an introduction guide to rooting and installing custom ROMs? Just so I can know what I'm doing.
2) I'm running linux right now, do most popular methods support it or should I do everything on windows "just in case"?
3) Are there any recommended ROMs or mods for low specs phones like the L3? I currently have a L3 E431g I'd like to mod
Your phone is l3 ii !!!

DON'T INSTALL ANYTHING FOR LG L3 IT WILL BREAK YOUR PHONE !!!
most tools made for windows and that's what i would use (virtual machine will work)
first use program and youtube guide in my signature (show content) to root your phone using vroot (its easy and works on any software version )
then have look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2654327
if your phone has 1 sim-card
you can unlock bootolader and install custom recovery using things in first post
ROM's Are UNDER DEVELOPMENT dont ask how long (about ~2 weeks)
there is mod made by @slipsystem but still in beta stage so no official release (subscribe to E430 thread for update in post #2 )
Thanks for the anwser IGGYVIP. I'm guessing that the E430 and E431 are similar enough that almost everything will work on both phones, right?
I already rooted mine, and I guess I'll wait and see how slipsystem's mod works when is released.
Nice one

Actually I lied . I though that I had rooted it but I actually never ran the program. I'm trying now but I can't seem to make it work (the vroot method). VROOT connects to the device, installs some chinese manager app, reboots and then nothing happens. VROOT eventually shows that it couldn't root the device and asks if I wanna retry, but it never manages to root it.
Does the superoneclick works on the 430?
I will update #1

Helo,
I've got a big proplem, my GT540 doesn't boot anymore it always freezes when the LG sign appears. I have this proplem since I'd tried to change the statusbar font into whiteby changing the services.jar. Hardreset and KDZ Updater aren't working. And I also tried to change the new services.jar to the old with adb but I don't get root permissions.
My phone runs with 2.1 Eclair.
Thanks for your help,
Lucas
Wait, arent the status bar white by defoult ?
No i don't mean the bar I mean the clock, but do you have any ideas to solve my proplem?
Do The Hard Reset With Press The
Vol Up + Search Key (on the right side of the phome) + home button
When I Trie to do the hardreset it Happens nothing! Is there no other possibillity to reset?
You could try fresh install with KDZ updater, that worked for me when I broked the radio and my network didn't worked. If you have troubles geting in to download mode you could try removing the battery and press volume up + camera + power button Just be carefull! Good luck

OK, you could try this :
If you have problems with KDZ_FW_UPD - Download and install from Microsoft two files "MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser" and "VisualC Redist"
1 LG_Android_Driver Ver 1.0 must be installed
2 In the Device Manager disable LGE Android USB Modem
3 Run Windows Enabler (on Windows 7 as administrator) and left click on the icon in System tray ( it should be ON )
4 Run "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe" (on Windows 7 as administrator)
5 In the "Type" select "3GQCT", then choose the firmware file
6 Expand the window of the KZD flasher ( more options will emerge )
7 In the "PhoneMode" section choose "CS_EMERGENCY"
DIAG - standard flashing mode of ON state
EMERGENCY - in extreme cases!
CS_EMERGENCY - the same thing, CS - crash systems
8 Click "Start update" will process the firmware
You could also disable your anti virus and use only the back USB ports of your PC. Good luck !
Oh THANKS! I love you guy, I thought I killed my brand new mobile!

Very GOOD now it did it like this.
Start your phone in recovery. Volume down+camera+power, see if the pc sees the device. Start the update tool max it and select emergency and flash again.
This fixed...
Now I need to add spanish to it. Do you know how??

Pleaz help us =(
My PC don't see my phone, my phone stay on 'lg' boot, and can't boot on emergency or hard reset... =/
EDIT: i did it!
You only need to desactivate the LG Android USB Modem (i didn't saw 'Modem' on Device Manager, so i could not desactivate it).
If like me you don't see Modem, you will see it during the period of time during which the device is recognized mod download, ie for about 5 seconds after you plugged in...
I hope it will help someone
PS: Sorry for my english..
Look under modem and you see your phone
At property under tab look your com number remember it
Take teraterm create a connection with your phone you can connect it normally
When you are connected write
AT
( if you see nothing go to setting general and activate ''echo typed only'' )
If your getting OK
AT%FRST%
and the phone does a factory reset

Hoi Hoi people
i got myself a GT540 Optimus <yes total newbeee to android>
It came with a deal for free and its my 1st android :0
anyway
After USING the official way (silly me )to update I now have some odd Portuguese apps installed ? Stuff from SAPO.pt ???
I didn't do any Sync backup as i just got the phone and its basically empty
I used the Updater tool from LG connected and all went well But after I look I was able to change the language to ENG but it has quiet a few Portuguese Apps installed...
I am in Holland so i cannot see how this updater decided to give me a POR image ?
Now i could make a guess and say the IMEI is for Portuguese market(?) and the dutch INTERNET cheapo middleman I got the deal from has bought a bunch on the gray market ..
Whatever it is i don't care
I would like you guys now to point me the right way
I just flash the thing myself
I think the tool i need is called KDZ ?
Please someone point me to the right post I am looking but seem to get nowhere
just more confused
Thanks guys

Thanks a lot guys
I followed the hints and now my LG is dead ..

This is rather annoying
1st I get a Crap gray import from 2call
then LG puts a Portuguese update rom on it??WTF!>?
while i choose NETHERLANDS with language english
but nevermind
buy **** buy twice thats life
My 1st and last lg phone ?/
What kind of rubbish is this
u update using the official LG tool and they play a freckin foreign rom onto my LG (SAPO.PT) then I cant update it at all anymore using the tool . So i look for alternatives but thats just made it worse ...
Really really poor this ..
Now ...I followed the guide but it didn't work ..well it did until restarted
My lg is now black. Dead ! doesn't start up at all !
Doesn't start no-matter what i try !
not even emergency mode.
And no guys I read the instruction word for word !!!!
I followed it to the letter !!!!! and the update did work ..Just now it doesn't start at all anymore.
I should of known reading around
there are too many update ways people are doing this ..Hack tool or original KDZ ..or just Black system way ..Too many loopholes for things to go wrong ..but now too late
Hmm...
Try a reflash...
This is a guide I followed from another forum, and posted elsewhere with some minor additions in case anyone had problems.
The guide is from a forum post at the android forums,it is NOT my work, the added bits are mostly what I have found from browsing here and from asking questions. While I can't be held liable if you mess your phone up having done so myself I thought this could helpa few people and save them searching various threads for answers so hope it helps
The guide
To install this ROM you need to have fastboot enabled on your phone. If you have Android 1.6/2.1 installed from LG, then fastboot is not enabled. I will explain how to enable fastboot on your phone (this involves re-flashing/replacing your currently installed firmware):
I am unable to post links yet so you will have to copy and paste the appropriate link into your browser replacing the ** with tt
KDZ Updater Carphone Warehouse Unlocked.zip can be downloaded at h**p://goo.gl/7aRTc - A link to a zip archive with all the files needed to flash to Android version 2.1 with fastboot (Carphone Warehouse Unlocked)
KDZ Updater Europe Open.zip can be downloaded at h**p://goo.gl/BOcYT - A link to a zip archive with all the files needed to flash toAndroid version 2.1 with fastboot (Europe Open)
Download the version that best applies to you, if you live in the UK, I'd recommend you download the Carphone Warehouse Unlocked version, whereas if you live in Europe, I'd recommend the Europe Open version (simple right? )
I live in the UK and used the open rom from Europe as the Carphone Warehouse rom would not install
Now, how to flash these versions; I'll explain in detail how to flash the ROM's from starting with backing up.
Instructions to install ROM with Fastboot:
1. Before you start, make sure you backup all your data by installing the z4root.1.3.0.apk file onto your phone, then open it and choose 'Permanent Root'. Your phone will root and reboot. Then go to the Market and install 'MyBackup Root', open it and do a backup of your apps and personal data (contacts, sms, call log etc.) Once this is done, go to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage>Unmount SD Card, a notification in the notification bar should appear saying 'SD Card safe to remove'. Remove the battery cover and remove the SD card and store it in a safe place. Then continue to step 2.
2. Extract the .zip file you downloaded to your computer (e.g. your desktop). Open the folder and install MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser (msxml.msi).
3. Once that has finished, install LGAndroidDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver1.0_All_Win7.exe which are the drivers so your computer will recognize your phone.
4. Next, open KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
(i) Change 'Type' to '3GQCT' *THIS IS A MUST, THE UPDATE WILL NOT WORK OTHERWISE AND YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE*
(ii) Make sure 'PhoneMode' is set to 'DIAG'
(iii) Browse for the 'V20B_00+Fastboot.kdz' file.
5. Prepare the phone by enabling USB Debugging by going to Settings>Applications>Development>Enable USB Debugging and connect the phone to the computer via USB cable and wait for the drivers to install for the phone.
6. Click 'Launch software update' and do not use your computer until the update is complete. The update will take roughly 10-20 mins to complete.
If you have a problem with this try a different rom, this guide offers two to choose from.

Once the update is complete, your phone will reboot, what you need to do is power off the phone and whilst the phone is off, press and hold the 'Camera' button all the way ANDpower on the phone, make sure you hold the 'Camera' button. The phone will display the LG logo and disappear, then display a blank screen. The phone is now in fastboot mode!
Now you want to download this file: Flashing CyanogenMod.zip and extract it to a folder called 'Android' (without the quotes '') on the C: drive (you'll probably need to make this folder yourself.
1. Now open CMD with administrator privileges (Search for CMD in the start menu and right click on 'cmd' and click 'Run as Administrator' )
2. Connect the phone to your computer via USB cable and wait for the necessary drivers to install.
If when connected with a usb cable the computer says "waiting for device" and nothing else happens try installing the fastboot drivers. You can do this by going to the control panel of your pc, from the Windows start menu, opening the list of devices and where you see the one representing your phone (likely, as was the case with me, it will say android and have a yellow exclamation mark over it). Different versions of Windows do things slightly different but what you need to do is simply update the driver by choosing the icons properties box choosing UPDATE or INSTALL DRIVER and when asked pointing it to the folder where you unzipped the drivers.
3. Then go back to the cmd window and type:
Code:
cd C:\Android
(i) Then type:
Code:
fastboot.exe -w
(ii) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe erase system
(iii) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash system system.img
(iv) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
(v) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe reboot
4. Your phone will now reboot with CyanogenMod 6.1.1 (Android 2.2.1). The first boot might take longer than a normal boot.
If your phone stays at a blank screen you simply forgot to do one of the above steps, in which case simply repeat them. It is likely if that happens that you simply forgot the flash boot image instruction.
5. You can now re-insert your SD card and go to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage>Mount SD Card
Enjoy!
The instructions for flashing both the firmware with fastboot and flashing CyanogenMod are included in the zip archives called 'Readme'. I'll update the links so that you'll always have the most up to date version of CyanogenMod available for download, note that if you choose to update your phone you will loose all your data including apps etc. so backup before you update
And that, with a few comments added by myself, is the guide.
Once you have set your phone up the way you want power off your phone. Hold the HOME and POWER buttons down while the LG logo appears and you will see a menu appear on screen.
Using the volume down key to navigate the different menu choices, and the camera button to select an option choose the BACKUP OR RESTORE option and from the sub menu that it will give you choose BACKUP.
This will make a backup of your phone AND all your data, if you ever mess up an update or think you have damaged your phone in the future simply holdthe POWER and HOME buttons down and when the menu appears choose the RESTORE option

Dude
thanks a lot for your lengthy post and effort .I appreciate it .
but unfortunately U seem to miss the post I wrote.
MY LG doesn't even start anymore after using the Hack tool to upgrade it ...
SO its futile ??
I cant start the phone at all ...
After following yesterdays advice Its dead ..
Great init
Oh dang. Doesn't even turn on? No LG boot logo?
Well...if it's bricked...the only three ways are:
1) Get it repaired/replaced.
2) Buy a new phone.
3) Use it as a paperweight.
=)
No my friend ..its DEAD !!!!
following the guide to the letter
Installed parser got the hack tool
run all as admin and made sure I started windows enabler
All the things in the guide
worked a charm until reboot
Not its black and dead!!!
ANY IDEAS !!!!?????
Have you tried this...
If you did it with kdz updater than:
pull out battery, sim and sd
connect phone with computer
disable lg modem in the device manager
flash a rom with fastboot
go in fastboot by camara+power
connect to computer
type 'fastboot -w' and 'fastboot reboot' in cmd

You can try by pulling out your battery, SIM card and SD card...
Note to you: Try everything that is possible and don't give up. Maybe you will fix it if you try.
Yes of course man I ll try thanks for the encouragement and your effort
It doesn't power at all
I DOESN'T connect to the pc
It Makes no difference if i have battery in or out .
sd card and sim are long removed ..and I tried with and without battery as well.
It updated, then rebooted to never come back ...
update tool reported Finished at the end

I understand id have a chance if i had at least a boot but I dont It dotn boot it dont Power up
Try getting into Emergency/Download mode by holding down "Volume Down" button and plugging into PC.
After that...try reflashing.

Hmm...probably give it a rest for a while...and then try again.
If all else fails..last resort.
Send back to LG for repairs or replacement.

And even that LG cant do without f&*kin me phone to Portuguese

i also have an e617g on 4.1.2 bell network id like to root and unlock the bootloader so i can install cwm and finally swap roms, this is a nice phone but it barely exists on the web any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance
Never mind figured it out myself. I may post a guide here soon. Seeing as any help I ask for is ignored. I'd rather help than hold back
Turn your lG-e617g into an LG-e610 then root it and install cyanogenmod.

this is my first tutorial so message me if something on here isnt clear.
step 1: download things, this is crucial, you need to download this stuff, it took me a while to find everything that ACTUALLY WORKED so i have it all in a nice little package to download.
step 2: make sure your phone is NOT plugged in the computer, install drivers if you do not have them. i have the drivers that worked for me in the package via direct download links. if they dont work for you somethings screwy with your computer and youll have to scour the internet to find drivers that'll work, google is your friend.
step 3: make sure your phone is recognised with your lappytop or computer. thats right i said lappytop, so sue me.
step 4nce all the drivers are installed and your phone is connected to the computer youll want to open up the folder labled: "LG FlashTool and Accessories" inside youll find "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe" open that right up.
step 5: next youll see a modded lg tool made by some guy on the internet, im not sure who but he/she did a good job thanks man/wo-man!!
ok youll want to leave all settings to default dont touch any thing, its good to go as is.
step 6: make sure phone is plugged in and usb debugging is enabled, use the kdz updater to browse for this file (download it via links in the package) "V10D_downgrade.kdz" then click on "Launch software update" this takes a while go make a coffee.
step 7: when its done its magic, your phone will boot up and youll see the LG logo for about 10 minutes any longer and your in a boot loop remove battery put it back in and hold both volume buttons down and power at the same time. time it carefully the lights on the soft keys will come on and a split second later the phone will slightly vibrate, the second you feel that press the home and hold it for about 10 seconds and the phone will do a hard reset, the phone will turn on now and initiate the first time use wizard, its in russian at first so just change your language to whatever, assuming english here. the phones software is now rooted just no su/superuser installed download from play store and update binary in settings of su app.
step 8: Unlocking bootloader time! after you flashed the software using kdz updater your phones ID is now technically an e610 now instead of an e617g, so unlocking the bootloader is now possible, connect your phone to computer, turn usb debugging on and drag and drop "emmc_appsboot.bin" into the root of your INTERNAL SD, also kill 2 birds with one stone here by also copying the recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.8-e610.img you downloaded via links in the txt document to the same place just rename it "recovery.img to make it easier also make sure you place the cm rom in the external sd. we need the bootloader unlocked to allow for cwm installation and good ol' rom swapping, open the folder "ADB" hold shift right click any where in the folder and select open "command window here",
type in the cmd window obviously without quotations: "adb shell" hit enter, then type "su" enter again then type "dd if=/sdcard/emmc_appsboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5" your bootloader is now unlocked, now type in "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17" this just installed clockwork mod. to boot into recovery and install cyanogen (the one im using. btw its a powerhouse compared to stock!!!) type in "reboot recovery"
step 9: factory reset, clear partition, wipe dalvik cache, install cyanogen, reboot, ENJOY.
seems i cant upload the programs needed so all i can do is this:

this is the pre-rooted rom that allows su access to unlock bootloader this also
changes the phones id from e617g to e610, startup wizard is in russian at first simply change to english.

That happens when the kdz file is corrupted. Redownload the firmware and try again
its more than likely a bad connection causing a bad download also are you starting off with an e617g or e610?
Will all app data, contacts, etc. be lost using this method? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I followed this guide
The phone went brick for some weird reason, tried flashing as instructed and the phone is back again

Anyway I can restore them back?

hi.. just wondering, are there qualcomm & mtk version for zte blade q lux 4G ?
*EVERY ACTION YOU PERFORM FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK*
That to be said, let's start: i am currently running the latest official nightly build on my d855 and it took me a while to get there. I couldn't find any (real) step-by-step-guide, where i would not have to google any errors or anything else.
Everything you find here is NOT my own knowledge, it is just compilation of sources, that i found on the internet.
Note:
Android 6.0: if you are on 6.0 and you always updated so you're on the latest security-patch-level the one-click-root-method won't work. I recommend downgrading your phone, which will be explained in the following.
Android 5.0: if you're on 5.0 you need to upgrade to 6.0 anyways, bc you need a different baseband-version to install LineageOS. This will also be explained in the following.
1. Make a backup of your phone
this is recommended, although i didn't do this, this is why i am not gonna explain it one here. I just saved my pics and contacts and did a factory reset, restarted my phone, did all the "first time turned on stuff" and connected to my wifi.
Note: Make sure your phone is charged to 60% at least
2. Download the following
a. Download LG G3 Drivers 4.0.4 and install them (i believe there are more recent ones, but this worked for me)
b. Download LG UP
- Download: LG UP Ver. 1.14: LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3.msi and LGUP_8974_DLL_Ver_0_5.MSI
- Make sure to install the DLL first and then the other .msi
SOURCE: Thanks to hyelton
c. Download the proper KDZ for you phone.
Note: I got this infos from a german site.
This is the 30C KDZ for the 32gb AND 16gb version: Download here
SOURCE: Thanks to mr bo
3. Downgrade/Upgrade your android-version
1. Turn off your phone.
2. Run LG UP (the tool you just installed) and press okay when you see the error message, that no phone is connected.
3. Press "Volume Up" on your phone and HOLD it, connect your phone to you computer via USB 2.0 PORT! This is important, bc connecting via 3.0 won't let LG UP recognize your phone.
4. Your phone is now in download-mode and LG UP should have recognized your phone.
5. Press SELECT, click on UPGRADE, then click on FILE PATH, choose you prefered .KDZ.
6. i recommend refurbishing your phone (This will wipe your entire system and make a clean install).
CLOSE LG UP and start it back up. The .KDZ should still be there. Now select REFURBISH and click on START. Wait until 100% completed and you phone has booted up completely.
Source and further information: Hail hyelton!
Also here is a youtube video: Thanks to kiaTech
4. Root your phone
1. Download the latest kingroot.apk from here.
2. Connect your phone (turned on, after all the "first time turned on stuff") and move the .apk to your Download-folder.
3. Open the (stock) filemanager on your phone and navigate to Downloads.
4. Install the kingroot.apk (enable third party .apk, when asked)
5. Open the app and root your phone (it's simple, believe me).
6. Your phone is now rooted (leave it turned on, DON'T restart)
5. Install TWRP and update to the latest version
1. Download this pack and unzip it.
2. Move the AutoRecMMD855.apk to your phone and install it just like kingroot.apk before.
3. Open the app and follow the instructions.
4. You now got TWRP on your phone.
SOURCE for #4 and #5 till here: Thanks to tute123456
5. Boot into recovery mode (either with the app itself i think or manually. If you have to do it manually. Turn of your phone. Press POWER and VOLUME DOWN at the same time until the screen shows soemthing. Release and immideatly press again. Your phne will ask you if you want to FACTORY RESET. Press YES and YES. If everything is working properly, TWRP should start up).
6. Connect your phone and download the latest TWRP.img you. In example here's the european one Latest LG G3 TWRP EUROPE
7. I assume you never disconnected your phone since moving kingroot.apk to it. So now you just move the TWRP.img to your Download folder.
8. Choose INSTALL on your phone and search for the TWRP.img. Select RECOVERY and flash it.
9. Choose REBOOT and then RECOVERY.
10. Your phone will boot into TWRP again. It should be updated to the latest version 3.0.2-0.
SOURCE: Thanks to everyone who contributed
6. Flash LineageOS and install GApps
1. Download the latest version of LineageOS (nightly) from here
Optional: make a backup of your phone using TWRP and safe it on your pc or internal SD Card, bc in the next step you will wipe your entire system, to get a clean installation.
2. Press WIPE in TWRP and select ADVANCED WIPE. Select everything but "Micro SD Card" and perform the wipe. This will wipe your entire system!
3. Move the .zip file to the Download folder on your phone and press INSTALL in TWRP. Search for the .zip and flash it.
Note: you'll see two red error messages. This is normal!
4. Wipe cache and dalvik as recommended.
5. Download your desired Open GApps package from here. Use "ARM" and "7.1", i recommend the "mini"-package.
6. Move the downloaded file to your Download folder on your phone and flash it just like you did the LineageOS file.
7. Wipe cache and dalvik.
8. In the main menu of TWRP choose REBOOT and then SYSTEM.
9. It will take a while to boot up, don't worry, just leave it there.
10. You succesfully installed the latest LineageOS build on your phone - you can now unplug your phone from your PC also :good:

Hi pheb92,
Big Thank You, If I had to do it bymyself it would have take me hours!!
-3. Downgrade/Upgrade your android-version -- I had trouble finding the right DLL on my Windows 10 system, onetime I managed to use LG - Up. At that moment the DLL loaded was 4.2.0.0. date 23-8-2016 device name "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM6)"
- 6. Flash LineageOS and install GApps -- I flashed straight from a uSD card inserted in the LG G3.
Thank you for the great Setp-by-Step!

as far as i know LineageOS doesn't have an inbuilt root access (so far) like cyanogenmod did. you can only enable root access via adb in the developer options.
i did not root lineageOS myself so far, but you can try the following:
- Download superSU.zip from their official website and flash it via TWRP.
i would appreciate it, if you would share the outcome

LineageOS does have built in root management, but it doesn't ship rooted by default.
This change was made so SafetyNet doesn't get triggered by root and you can use Android Pay on your device.
Just download the su zip from LineageOS download page and flash.

I am stuck on this step. My d855 gets into download mode and LG UP recognizes the phone, but I'm getting the "You have to select a known model, please" error in LG UP. I have uninstalled and reinstalled LG UP and the DLL multiple times, same problem. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, and I tried other drivers, same problem. I tried the tip in another thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089) to change the port to COM41 in device manager, but it didn't help. Btw I also unrooted my d855 (it has 4.4.2 currently) in case that's why the tool couldn't recognize it. Please help!!
Also @hyelton if you can help...
@engmia since you were helping me earlier...
Thanks.

hi supperbowl,
are you sure you're using a USB 2.0 port and the original LG-USB-Cable, that came with the phone?
as far as i experienced it, 4.4.2 should not be an issue.

Have you tried it with the phone booted into the OS? With USB debugging on? Also if running 4.4.2 why not just use the old method?

No I've only tried it with download mode. I have USB debugging enabled in the OS. I am now trying the old method with LG flash tool, so far I'm getting stuck with the LG mobile support tool which keeps saying "upgrade stopped due to an error".
Edit: LG UP doesn't recognize the handset at all with it booted into the OS.

And USB debugging enabled?
If it's at least detecting unknown device while in download mode it most definitely should show up in lgup when boot up.
Choose MTP mode? And it's not just in "charging mode" or try vice versa?

Yes, USB debugging is enabled and my computer is allowed permissions.
Yes it's MTP and I also tried charge only and LG software modes. With LG Software mode it comes up with the unknown device in the model list again.

what also worked for me once was just retrying the process --> turn off, go into LG UP, go into download-mode. if LG UP does not recognize the phone: put the battery out of your phone, close LG UP and start the process again (also with different USB ports and other USB-Cables).
Hello,
Need to have unlocked bootloader ? Work on SEA version ?
You did not installed LG UP DLL properly
