Now since you have stock firmware ...!! the firmware folder has DEFAULT/ orgnl EBR's !!! whenever you wish to, simply flash the firmware , without selecting new ebr's during the process !! (like in guide you double click the ebr to select new on...skip that ) so it wld flash the stock ones from the firmware
Hi Sumeet,

i expect you have all adb driver's installed.. adb detects your phone !!
from adb run this command 'adb reboot recovery' . ( for this also ensure that you have switched on usb debugging on which ever ROM you are , before strting the process)
You hit enter on this command when you start the phone normally and as soon as the boot logo appears !!
Dont let it boot beyond boot logo !
Thats what i do because my both vol buttons are dead
Please ignore, I got it.

Consider it consolidated.
You guys are right....wrong section....but wow take it easy on him! He was only trying to help. ....
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
It's a more clear & consolidated guide as chatbox pointed out
I've tidied it up to make it easier to read.
I'm sure now you'll see it's more useful / easy to follow than all the other guides out there
you do not need to root the phone before hand as darkys is pre routed for you once you have flashed it with the rom
how about adding instructions for us that need to use a different modem? (i8000m)
Very helpful. Thanks!

I still don't know why you did this post, since there's already one from the original author.
Hmmm, I really don't see the point in this thread as the original thread by the original creator has everything you need to know plus a video tutorial which goes through basically everything in this OP. Let's keep everything to the original thread where bug reports can be posted and possibly fixed.

Hi everyone,
I want to show u how to upgade your LG G3s/beat to adroid 7.1.1 lineage OS.
It has taken me some time to find and to gather all needed files but i was succesfull
So I had my lg running on android 5.1 Lollipop but I had problem cause my device was blocked by operator. So first of all we need to
root the device (when u have your device rooted just simply skip this step)
Step 1: rooting the device (working for all devices)
All you need to do is just simply download and install Kingroot -- https://kingroot.net/
then you hit the root button it will take just a while to root your device
note- i really dont like this chinese rooting program but it is the only way to root operator-blocked device !
Step 2: installing custom recovery
download and istall TWRP recovery -- https://ulozto.sk/!lisJevpDG1oS/recovery-d722l-apk
hit the install recovery button
now read CAREFULLY- when you want to enter the recovery turn off the device, when the device is turned off now hit the
volume DOWN and power button at the same time wait for LG logo appears release the press buttons and press them again untill the factory reset option appears, now when you have correctly installed recovery just press YES delete all data (2times)
(move with up and down keys and select with power button)
{

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 3: okay now you are in recovery
hit the WIPE button first you need to SWIPE to FACTORY RESET (this will erase all of your data so before doing that backup your data when you want) then hit advaced wipe select all files apart from SD card (unless u want to wipe ur SD card data )
and swipe to wipe
Step 4: installing OS
here is the lineage OS(for model D722 may work for D724 and others ) -- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224413403 if u have problems to install this ROM try one of these-- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=142084&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC
copy the OS . zip file to your SD
now hit the istall button in recovery and select OS
now wait untill installing is finished
now hit the reboot button in recovery and select reboot to SYSTEM first booting may take a while
NOW you have OS installed and you are runnning clear OS without any s*it APPS
Step 5: go to --settings and allow developer options, select allow root acess but OOPS what u see. U can only allow root acess
on ADB not apps so u need to root device. Its very simple
Download this root file .zip -- https://ulozto.sk/!rzlO9PPtP5yy/addonsu-arm-signed-zip
now reboot into recovery and install this zip go to setting--developer and now select ADB and APPS root option
and WOALAA you are rooted
NOTE: if you have problems entering the SD card in the file exporer just simply reboot into recovery open file manager in
advanced option in recovery and delete Android secure folder in your SD card
First time when you open the camera hit on the video button and app will force close.This will happen only once dont be afraid.
Now reopen the camera and enjoy!
I am not using any of the google apps (as market i use only Blackmart alpha-low capacity market with all paid apps)
but when you want google apps for some reasons just leave a comment and i will give you link
screenshots:
google apps
could you please share the link for google apps
opengapps.org/?api=7.0&variant=pico
Here you go
Note: google assistant work well on it
Note to staff: I'm new to XDA, so I'm sorry if this guide is posted in the wrong place or if it's inadequate. Please PM me if there are problems with it.
Note to users: I am NOT responsible if the restore process damages your phone. You are doing this at your own risk. Be sure to follow the steps carefully.
In this guide, I will share the best method of backing up your phone to your PC.
Recently I flashed a stock firmware on my SM-J730F and debloated it. Somehow I managed to soft-brick the device after a few weeks and I had to re-flash the firmware, and debloat it all over again. I found out a good method of backing up my entire phone so that I don't have to do that again. I will share that method with you guys.
This works with any phone, not just the J7.
Requirements:
1. Any phone
2. PC
3. An USB cable
4. ADB - Download Here
5. Root Access - Guide on how to root SM-J730F here || Other Phones - If your device is rooted, continue. If not, please leave.
6. FlashFire App - Install Here
Instructions:
1. Have your USB cable near you;
2. Download FlashFire from the link above;
3. Enable USB Debugging from Settings -> Developer Options;
4. Download the ADB from the link above, and extract everything inside the archive to C:\ADB (create a new folder);
5. Connect your USB cable from your phone to your PC - if you get an access request on your phone from your PC's fingerprint, accept it;
6. Open a Command Prompt and type: cd C:\ADB
7. Type adb devices in the command prompt to confirm that it detects your phone; you should get something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
8. Now open FlashFire on your phone and grant it root access;
9. Tap on the plus sign and tap on Backup:
10. Select Full - All Partitions:
11. On this screen, DO NOT select the partitions that have "(protected bootloader partition)" or "(protected partition)" under them; they might cause the restore process to be unstable:
(TIP: There are more partitions if you scroll down on the list of partitions. Just be careful not to select the protected one. Everything else, select.)
12. After that tap on the V button at the top right of the window, and now just scroll to the bottom of the page and tap on FLASH:
13. Your phone is going to reboot now. DO NOT intrerrupt this process, and DO NOT disconnect the USB cable.
14. Once your phone has rebooted, a list of files will start to load, and you will see FlashFire at the top of the screen. On the bottom, the last line should be this:
Start: adb backup go -f filename.zip
This means that FlashFire is waiting for your input from the Command Prompt on your PC.
15. If you see that line, then go on your PC, go into the Command Prompt and type the following command to start the backup process:
adb backup go -f backup.zip
16. Press Enter and the backup process will start on your phone. Wait until it is complete. Your phone will reboot when it's done.
And that's it!
You should have a Backup.zip file in your C:/ADB folder. The size of the file depends on how much data you have on your phone.
Congrats; You have created a full backup of your phone.
Below is a tutorial on how to restore the backup that you have just created.
1. Open ADB on your PC and verify if your device is detected, as I've explained above;
2. Open FlashFire, tap on the plus sign and tap on Restore:
3. On the window that opened select Restore from ADB:
4. Select all the partitions (except the protected partitions) (there are more if you scroll down), and then tap on the V sign at the top right:
5. Tap on the FLASH button and wait for your phone to reboot:
6. Once it's rebooted to that screen with two lines, you should see something like this:
7. Now type the following command into the Command Prompt on your PC:
adb push backup.zip /restore
8. Press Enter and wait for the restore process to finish. Your phone will reboot and hopefully everything is how it should have been when you backed up the phone.
And that's it! You're done restoring the backup.
