First of all, I have to officially thank user kalunlee for his help in this. He pulled the files from the chinese forums, and in there you have to either register or pay for the links. Without his help there would be no guide.
XDA is open for everyone, on those Chinese forums they keep their resources well hidden, but they don't bother thanking the people here on XDA for their work (rooting tools maybe?), and they even get credits for the tools taken from here! --rant over--
Let's start now. This guide is for all user of D857 or D858 wanting the Google Apps on their phones without messing around with rooting and custom recoveries, but want to keep the phone in a stock condition. Model D858HK is the only Dual Sim officially supporting the GApps, the goal of this guide is transforming a D857/D858 into an HK model.
Istructions:
Enable USB debugging on your device: menu > settings > developer options.
Install Stump Root and root the phone. Install SuperSU immediately after reboot and run it.
Install Build Prop Editor apk (I used Build Prop Editor from joeykrim, the other one didn't work), edit ro.product.model=LG-D857 to ro.product.model=LG-D858HK.
Install LG Driver.
Install LGFlashTool, overwrite the megalock.dll with the provided one.
Turn off phone, hold the volume up key and plug into the computer (DOWNLOAD MODE).
Let the LG driver install for your phone.
Go to device manager in Windows Control Panel, change LGE Mobile USB Serial Port to com41
Open LGFlashTool select the right TOT file and dll (use BOARD DL)
Go to Port settings set LIMO Port to COM101 tick port 1 only on the right (Basically first 3 items ticked)
Click Start
Remove the cable for 5 seconds and reconnect, the flash will start
Flash
Done
Now you have a D858HK instead of D857.
If you get a port error at the starting of the flash disconnect the phone, remove LG drivers, reinstall them again, change the port to com41, and without rebooting launch again the flashtool.
If you get a Windows error, remove any antivirus you have!!
If at the end of the flashing procedure the phone boots into the miniOS, then pull out the battery and enter into the recovery and do a factory reset. Reboot. When in miniOS again, press the power button and tap on normal boot!

Yes, after transforming the phone into a D858HK, you'll be able to install any OTA update that will be pushed to you. It's not like the G2, no more OTAs after this guide, you will have to manually install the update.
DO NOT INSTALL v10c on the D857, it's impossible to root at the moment. If you do, the only way to go is the downgrade. I will set up a new guide soon if I'll be able to do that on mine (learn the hard way :crying: ) Look for D857v10a TOT. Downgrade to v10a, root, then follow this guide to transform to a D858HK.
Will edit with more detailed instructions soon. STAY TUNED!

Thanks a lot for this great information.
However, MEGA asks for an decryption key ... can't download atm.
A doppo
The question is: can we do this for all variants? Like vs985/D851 to D855
Sent from my VS985 4G using XDA Free mobile app
I just flashed mine, everything seems OK, just at the end LG Flash Tool showed "Waiting for reset 120 sec", phone restarted and setup screen showed up.
Then LG Flash Tool showed error message "download failed" and "USB port open fail", but phone works well. Any idea why this happened?
Don't try to flash other LG G3 to this version. It only works for D857 or D858 to D858HK. These are the dual sim version and all have the same hardware.
Not sure what happened to the links but you can try the links in the original post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/d857-gapps-t2882412/page3
You can ignore the fail message at the end, it happened to one of the phones that I flashed too.

That's not actually accurate. OTA on D858HK are IMEI based, so even the D857 (or mainland D858) is flashed into D858HK, it won't receive any OTA notification still,as your IMEI will be designated to D857.
I'm not exactly sure if there s any way to side load the OTA without root/flash Tot, I hope someone will find a way when new OTA files are available for this.

You're partially correct. OTAs are theoretically IMEI based, but it has to match the installed firmware and firmware keys of the device, in this case you'll have 858HK keys, thus 858HK OTA.
On the G2 I changed firmware successfully twice to change the region (thus enabling few needed LTE bands), and it got two OTAs for that region, not for the original one.
Time will tell BTW!
Hi ! you mean by firmware installed 4G frequencies can change?

That's what happened with the G2. Couldn't get 4G in the UAE with Open EUR firmware. Switched to UAE firmware and got LTE!

Hi there. Hoping you or maybe others from this thread could help me.. working on this document to list which root methods work on each device.
We do not get much input/feedback from D857/8/9 users and it would be nice to know if anyone could help me fill in the blanks for those devices.
Does D857/8/9 work with ioroot? if so which software versions? (10A? 10B? for example..)
Does D857/8/9 work with towelroot? if so which software versions?
Does D857/8/9 work with purpledrake root? if so which software versions?
Does D857/8/9 work with stump root? if so which software versions?
And I see you have mentioned that D855 firmware will brick a D857/8/9? Is this confirmed? It cannot be fixed if someone does this?
Do D857/8/9 users have a working TWRP from BUMP! yet? Im curious if the D855 version of TWRP would work for you
D857/8/9 users.. please keep me posted so we can make sure you dont get left out

D857 works with Stumproot with version v10a and v10b only. v10c fixed the vulnerability.
D857 doesn't work with towelroot (tested v10b and v10c).
D857 doesn't work at all, it says -unsupported-.
D857 doesn't work with ioroot (tested v10b and v10c).
D857 will be bricked by flashing D855 firmware. Probably a recovery would be possibile accessing the firmware download mode, but I am not brave (stupid) enough to do it, since D855 doesn't support dual sim mode.
TWRP doesn't work on D857, after a reboot the recovery won't be accessible anymore, it will only work once. Be careful, when installing a custom recovery the original one will be gone forever, unless you restore with LG Support Tool. TWRP doesn't fully support D857, thus it probably installs the recovery on wrong memory addresses, and it is not bootable for a second or third time, but only once.
The only way to access the custom recovery is to install it again.
Personally I had to downgrade from v10c to v10b to be able to root and change firmware to D858HK in order to have GApps natively. v10c on D857 is unrootable.
The difference between D857/8/9 is customization: D857 is the international version, /8 and /9 are for China Mobile and Statecom. D858HK is the Hong Kong international version of the G3 Dual Sim that includes the GApps, all other firmware don't, since they are for the chinese market, which Google abandoned.
Haven't personally tested Stumproot on D858HK v10d yet.

thank you for your response.
are you 100% sure PurpleDrake doesn't work? D855 10L has patched Stump but no one has patched PurpleDrake yet... unless it never worked to begin with.
does the following command work for you?
Code:
adb reboot --bnr_recovery
and did u try the purpledrake at this thread? because there are 2.. one is for D851 only.. this one is for all - http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/root-root-lg-g3-easily-purpledrake-lite-t2821000
check the manual commands in the first post if the script does not work. I want to confirm and be 110% sure purpledrake does not work on the D857/8/9.. that would make the D857/8/9 the ONLY g3 that does not have root yet.
also.. you mentioned D857 for ioroot/towelroot/purpledrake.. etc... what about the D858 and D858HK and D859? same results for all phones? or only for D857?
and for TWRP.. did you use the fastboot twrp method? do not use fastboot boot method. or did you try the Bump twrp? u tried the twrp-2.8.0.0_d855-signed.img file here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...mp-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-d852-d852g-f400-t2900614

dd if=/sdcard/twrp-2.8.0.0_d855-signed.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
reboot recovery[/SIZE]
that does not work? if that does not work I will make a proper TWRP for D857 D858 and D859 devices. I will need a boot.img from D858HK if possible please.
and can any D857, D858 or D859 users PM/Message me their IMEIso that I can use LG's website to look up KDZ files and download them myself.
If you want.. you can change or leave off the last 3 digits of the IMEI so that I dont know your exact IMEI for security.

Unfortunately that command didn't work on D857 v10c, and the .bat gave unsupported model. Trust me I tried everything to root before I downgraded, I was desperate to gain root on v10c!!
This is the link for v10c for D857:
http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW040906432109876543213/D85710c_00.kdz
Unfortunately I couldn't find any other kdz (I got that link from my IMEI). The dual sims are mainly for the Chinese market, and they don't share any kdz on the Chinese forums, because many of them ask for money for the download of TOT files.
Please send me the instructions to extract the boot.IMG! I will also re-post the link on Mega later on for the 858HK tot file.

ok.
which firmware are you running now? D857? 10c? rooted?
you need root.. and then you would do these commands... then upload the boot.img to me.
so I guess you need to be on 10B and use stump to root.
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/boot.img
the above commands will open adb shell, gain root, backup your boot.img to internal sdcard, exit rooted adb shell, exit adb shell, pull boot.img off internal sdcard into the folder on your computer where you are running adb.
OR
if you do not want to root the phone but still pull the files.. see my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/psa-stop-taking-ota-updates-update-t2909412
under the "Download Updates" section are steps for how to extract KDZ. you can extract boot.img from kdz that way.
the only way to have a rooted D857 10C would be to have 10B.. root it with stump.. install TWRP (D857/8/9 version I need to make).. then update to 10C manually by flashing the system.img, boot.img and modem.img in TWRP.
I have an easy method to flash the system/boot/modem images in my thread as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/psa-stop-taking-ota-updates-update-t2909412
under the "Manual Updating" section I have some flashable "Flash2" zips that do all the work for you once you have the system/boot/modem images on your internal sdcard. no need to make new flashable zips.
If anyone has the boot.img for D858 or D858HK that would be good too.

FYI, I had it flashed with 10C and it didn't receive OTA to 10D, had to do a manual refresh of the whole 10D tot.
I've seen Chinese users reporting the same as well.
That's why i m convinced conversion this way won't receive OTA.
In any case, i have both the D857 converted D858HK, and the local stock D858HK, will be able to verify that once new OTA is pushed out.
all else apart, it's the best version of the android phone by a country mile.

I think you are right. Today I flashed a D855 of a friend of mine in order to change the region. Unfortunately the region didn't change, even by using a TOT file. Under software version it's still AME region and not EUR. Editing the build.prop and reflashing/restoring didn't work neither.
I think LG has hardcoded the region in the hardware, not on the software side anymore!
Hi all,
I'm a user of D858hk, recently i have updated my device through LGMobile Support to D858hk v10f, and the stump root effect is waived...
I try to reroot through stump / purpledrake / towelroot , but eventually can't be success.
Hence, I try to flash the stock d858hk v10d rom here, i have several questions suffer during the thread here.
1. Do i need to modify the build.prop file as my device is D858hk
2. I can't get the dll file from the above links
TOT File and DLL: http://pan.baidu.com/share/init?shar...05147&third=15
DLL http://pan.baidu.com/share/init?shar...05147&third=15
Both links contain a zip file which only include a .tot file inside.
3. I have followed all the steps as stated above, but during "Click Start->Remove the cable for 5 seconds and reconnect, the flash will start-> it show error message "Download Fail - Can't change to download mode", i'm sure i have done "Turn off phone, hold the volume up key and plug into the computer (DOWNLOAD MODE)."
Hope anyone can help and suggest what mistake i have made.
thanks.
Does anyone have a D858HK recovery file? I've accidentally written it with the wrong recovery img (D855's) and when I try to boot recovery it goes to fastboot mode... but on normal operation there aren't any side effects yet.
Greatly appreciate it if any of you can post the recovery's img!

1) no, as your device is already D858HK, no need.
2) Here's a link for you to obtain the DLL: https://mega.co.nz/#!YNx2DCSZ!ok0oaK5o7Xu0QeorfnH5gfkEDra9RyoFfhnCkXXIJNE
3) try it after using the right DLL file.
Those who bought LG G3 f460k(Snapdragon 805 processor) and found there is not much support or information regarding how to root or install recovery on this mobile. Before we start there are lot of users having this mobile have update issue because those F460K models are refurbished mobiles so LG blocked those phone IMEI numbers to get automatic update OTA they will get the following error UPDATE SERVICE IS LIMITED. Do not worry you can flash the Lollipop KDZ file using LG FLASHTOOL.
Here you go :-

Before we start there are lot of users having this mobile have update issue because those F460K models are refurbished mobiles so LG blocked those phone IMEI numbers to get automatic update OTA they will get the following error UPDATE SERVICE IS LIMITED. Do not worry you can flash the Lollipop KDZ file using LG FLASHTOOL.
Here you go :-
Needed software before you start ( Make sure your windows is installed with latest updates. Mainly VC++)

If you just want to upgrade to Nougat and don't care about rooting / keeping root, then the easiest way is to use LG Bridge.

Alright here is how to "update" LGUP's DLL
1. Download the KDZ on the original post, it contains the DLL we will need.
2. Download https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600575 this tool to extract the DLL from the KDZ
3. Give it the KDZ location > Check the box next to LGUPc.dll (this is the LGUP_Common.dll in your LGUP folder you already have, it's just a shortened name in the KDZ file) > Then click Extract KDZ (This will drop the LGUPc.dll into the LG Firmware Extract's folder)
4. Rename the DLL you just extracted to LGUP_common.dll
5. Find where your LGUP folder is (For me, its located in C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP)
6. Once you are in the main LGUP folder then goto model then common
7. Congrats, you have located the pain in the butt DLL that prevents you from flashing Nougat!
8. Now, delete the LGUP_common.dll in that folder (or back it up) and replace it with the one you extracted and renamed from the KDZ earlier!
9. If you did everything right, you should be able to flash Nougat with LGUP now.
(PLEASE KEEP IN MIND YOU STILL CAN NOT ROLL BACK TO MM 6.0 AS OF 7/24/17 )
10. Slam that shinny Nougat 7.0 KDZ file into LGUP and see if you can flash!

I'm looking for this too because I flashed this from another site and did not know that root was not achievable. :crying:
The main problem seems to be the bootloader that does not want to flash twrp even after being unlocked. Or any other image file for that matter, ends up with "FAILED (remote: unknown command)". Hopefully someone comes up with a fix because it sucks with no root.
