[GUIDE] [d855] How To Install Lineage OS - A Compilation (Downgrade/Root/TWRP/GApps) - G3 General

*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.

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

I have 4.0.4 ICS (cm9) on my LG L3 (e400), I tried to flash to stock since official 4.4 (kitkat) is coming soon but it does nothing, just reboots normally after flashing (no errors reported with kdz flasher) with my wallpaper and everything, and it says that my battery is charging but it's not connected to charger or computer. Any ideas?
I did everything from the guide, step by step, and I'm stuck on this error: Upgrade Error: Wparam: 100 LParam :1010
I especially looked ower firmware, and I'm positive that I downloaded the right one.
I tried several times, and every time I get this error. Also, phone now boots to Emergency mode, and can't boot to something else.
Don't know what to do? Anyone help?
Just reinstall driver, reboot pc after instalation and run kdz as admin.

You can only enter emergency mode because you haven't finished installing_KDZ. If I were you I would try download and install another KDZ file.
It will only work when you get the right KDZ file for your device. Don't worry to try another KDZ file.
Try another KDZ updater,
Unable antivirus and firewall.
Keep on trying. I hope these will unbricked your phone.

Have you tried entering into CWM?
If so, then you should do factory reset, wipe cache, and go to advance then wipe dalvik cache then restart your phone.

For those you stuck and cannot flash back to stock ROM. enter to CWM, and leave it there. Connect to PC and flash with EMERGENCY mode (not DIAG)
Works perfectly, tested in Windows 8

Bootloop [LS 980]

Hey guys I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for help. I'm trying to boot into recovery and it's not working. I'm using a Lg G2 (Sprint). I was running Unofficial CM 10.2 and had a twrp recovery (2.6.3.3). I tried to flash PA 4.0-Alpha-201312050-ls980 with pa_gapps-modular-full-4.4.2-20131215. I'm not sure what went wrong and why I can't boot into recovery. Any information would be greatly appreciated, not sure if this is the right place to ask for help, thank you for your time. For some reason I can't find the thread now... God I'm an idiot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try getting into download mode volume up and plug into computer
Or
Press and hold power and volume down until the LG logo, let go, then press and hold again for recovery

I couldn't get into recovery. I can get into download mode. It says Firmware Update Do not unplug. Stuck at 0%.
Please tell me I am not screwed... I have no idea what happened to my recovery. I figured if anything happened like this I could always boot into recovery and restore to stock. I'm honestly about to freak out...

Hey I'm having a little trouble installing the drivers, it says there's a more up to date version already installed. I went to device manager and found my device, clicked properties and uninstalled the drivers. However when I try to install the ones in the guide you linked it still says they are there. Any clue how to remove them?
device manager, right click phone, update drivers, browse computer, let me pick from a list, unclick show compatible hardware, and find LGE or LG and pick the driver that makes sense

Alright I downloaded those drivers and repeated the steps (device manager, update software, choose from list, uncheck compatible) and nothing with LG or LGE popped up. I decided to just try to install them anyway and it seems to work. I'll resume following the original guide you linked and assume that these drivers will work. I'll probably come back shortly with more questions but hopefully I'll get it this time.

Ok I'm still having trouble, I installed the LG drivers you linked, installed LG FLash tools and didn't run (like it says in the guide), extracted TOT to desktop. I put the phone into download mode then it immediate goes into "Firmware Update" and it is stuck at 0%. In the guide it says it should initialize and load up drivers and I should see LG device under Device Manager. I do not see any device now. Maybe I need to use the old drivers in the guide?

No. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and reinstalled the drivers you linked. I can now see it under devices as an LGE Android Phone. I booted into download mode and it's not initializing or installing drivers... I'm not sure what to do now.

I'll detail each step I've done
Install
1. Install the LG drivers downloaded above. Installed the drivers you gave me.
2. Install LGFlashTools v1.6 (but don't run it) Check
3. Extract the TOT file from the ZIP Check
Drivers initialization
1. Put the phone into download mode. (Turn off device PRESS VOL UP while plugging in the micro usb cable. If this doesn't work, try holding both volume keys instead) Check
2. Let the phone initialize and install the drivers. Once done, in Device manager, you should see the LG phone listed under COM ports (something along these lines). Doesn't initialize or install drivers! As I am typing this my device just disappeared from Device Manager, however, LGE AndroidNet USB Seriel Port (com4) has popped up
3. Find that LG entry in Device Manager, click on Properties, Advanced and then change the COM port to COM41 and close/save.
4. Unplu

It's all good all of a sudden it appeared under ports! Now I'm trying to find an LG Flash tools serial number like it says in the guide but I cannot find one anywhere with a google search. However "free" lg flash tools appear on the top of the list. Not sure what to do here. I'll update where I'm at in the guide in a moment.

Ok here is where I am at.
4. Execute the LGFlashTools. It should ask you for a key, put it in. Now you should see a dialog where you can load the DLL file and the TOT files that you extracted earlier. Put them both in here. Click ok Check
Flashing
5. There is a yellow arrow on the top left. Click on it to initialize the process. Once done, it should say "ready/finished" or whatever. Clicked it and got this error "MilkyWay Control Port Open FAIL!!!."
6. Put the phone in download mode again, and plug it into the USB port. LG FLash Tools should start flashing it automatically. When it's done, it'll automatically reboot into your stock AT&T rom and all of your data and internal sdcard files are gone. Errors here too "Device Model is different!
Check Phone or DLL!

[Q] Help with Bricked LG G2

Hello Everyone,
I've been looking around and can't seem to find any guide I can get to work.
A couple months ago, I rooted my LG G2 and installed Cyanogen mod successfully. After a couple days, for some reason I restored to a backup I made back before I installed Cyan, so it was just on the Stock OS. A couple days later my phone tried to update itself and it bricked it. I was an idiot and wiped everything for some reason so theres nothing on there but the LG logo and then it goes to TWRP.
So now I'm not quite sure what to do. I can adb push and sideload just fine, but I've tried pushing a zip with the stock OS and installing it but everytime it just says it failed. Ive also pushed cyan on again and it says successfully installed and then just goes back to TWRP again. Can anyone help me with what to do from here? Do I need a certain tool to re install the OS? Will pushing it and then installing it with TWRP not work?
thanks!
Reflash lg g2 stock rom .
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Free mobile app
How would I go about flashing the stock rom?
Ive been trying to use this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
But every time I try to use the "Automatic offline procedure" I get an error saying permission denied. I made sure the drivers and everything were installed
Any ideas?
Right click - Run as administrator.
Or do it manually
https, window enabler..etc.
Alright, so I was able to do it manually, but in the instructions it says to enable usb debugging. Just to clarify my phone is basically stuck in TWRP, so will this even work?
My comp doesnt even recognize my phone as an LG G2 it says something like ADB galaxy nexus.

That's ok.
Open cmd line where your adb is. Put some rom inside.
Let's say the rom is : mycoolrom.zip
adb push mycoolrom.zip /sdcard/mycoolrom.zip
then flash it.

I did this, but like I said in the original post when I try to flash it, it just says failed every time. Ive tried files from all over and they all fail. Could you point me in the right direction of one that might work?
Thanks
You didn't mention download mode.
Try powering off the device, hold volume up and connect to pc ?
Is the download mode at least working ?

Nope, no matter what I do it just goes to TWRP
And just to be clear it pushes over fine, and the zip is on the phone, its just when I try to flash it on TWRP it says failed. the last error code just said unable to open Zip

LG G2 D802 United Kingdom Open - unbrick?

Hey everyone,
I'm very new to Android development and XDA, but a few years ago I bricked this LG G2 and I don't really remember how, except that I rooted it and tried to install a custom ROM, which obviously didn't work.
I have tried a number of different guides on these forums, but somewhere or another I get stuck on them.
[HOW TO] Fix your soft-bricked LG G2 (All Variants)
I'll be very specific, something most people lack of. Okay lets get to it, I recently bricked my LG G2 (D801) by installing a ROM that wasn't compatible with my model. I fixed it by doing the following steps. This worked for me using Windows 8.1...
forum.xda-developers.com
With this one, although the device shows up in Devices and Printers, neither Fastboot nor the LG Flash Tool detect it. I have installed both the LG Mobile Driver and the LG United Mobile Driver.
“./fastboot devices” is empty.
I have the TOT file and the DLL that the (patched version of the) LG Flash Tool requires.
I have an Ubuntu 20.04 install as well as Windows 11. I can get into Firmware Update with a USB icon ("Do not unplug the USB connection until the process is complete. 0%." ...etc), when I turn it on normally it shows a battery made out of grey and white bars and a percentage, and sometimes the LG logo.
If you need to know anything else don't hesitate to ask \
Much appreciated,

use a usb 2.0 port, update adb/fastboot, update drivers, remove previous related devices using nirsoft usbdeview. try using a windows 7 or earlier system. can you manually get into recovery? if so update to latest blastagator twrp which should be 3.3.1.

- I was using a 3.0 port, although it still showed up in Control Panel - I’ll try with a 2.0 port today
- I installed “Minimal ADB and Fastboot” and the drivers yesterday, so they should be up to date
- I’ll use usbdeview too
- I can’t use an older system unfortunately
- How do I get into recovery?
Recovery: With the device powered off and usb unplugged, hold Volume Down + Power. When the LG logo appears, release both buttons and hold Volume Up + Volume Down.
Ok, so I got into a factory reset screen that way, I said yes to factory reset, is that the right thing to do? (@DvineLord)
ADB recognises the device, but it's unauthorised. And I obviously can't boot it up to authorise it.
Factory reset just got me back to the LG screen for a long time, so I powered it off again.
Also, when I try to change the COM port to 41, when I click Advanced in Port Settings, it just stops me with "You must have write privileges in the registry for this device in order to modify the device's advanced settings".
I can't find the right path for the device in regedit to follow these steps: https://forums.techguy.org/threads/need-write-permission-for-com1-port.577543/#post-4756991
Were you able to get into Recovery? or did you get into Bootloader/Fastboot/Download?
Bootloader/Fastboot/Download: With the device powered off, hold Volume Up and connect the USB cable.
You want to be in Recovery like I posted above. Do you have TWRP on your device?

The recovery method you said to try got me into a factory reset screen, as I stated. All the other recovery methods I saw online didn’t work, so maybe I have no recovery?
I said in the original post that I can obtain download mode. I recognise “TWRP” but I’m pretty sure I botched it up while installing it, because I didn’t know how any of this worked, 4 years ago.
Thank you!
Unfortunate you can't get ADB/Fastboot working.

Soo... what can I do?
Try to recall as closely as possible the exact steps you used to modify your device. autorec, ioroot, stump root, avicohh, stock build you were on, custom rom you tried to flash, custom recovery, bootstacks, custom kernel, etc.
Odds are you'll have to try again to flash back to stock, something which I haven't done yet.
Unfortunately all I know is that I tried to install a custom ROM, scuffed up when I was installing twrp, the ROM didn't work and now I have no recovery to fix it. Flash back to stock *is* what I'm trying to do (that's your third question/point which I've already explained in the original post).
If anyone with the same problem visits this in the future, please save this post and share your solution if you find one, cause I'm still stuck!
hope you get it flashed back to stock. make sure to do the first 5 things i listed in my initial post to see if that helps you flash back to stock. the data cable can also make a difference sometimes too.
