Well first of all, Is there a KK Rom for your phone? Without the Link we can't give you any information since each Rom is different from each other.
1. Ofcourse it will work if it's the correct rom buld for the phone.
2. There aren't any problems with flashing but flashing a wrong rom could hard brick your phone.
3. Sim card must work in the most Phone rom's

Sim Card will work and yes you can put a Kit Kat ROM in your device if the ROM exist but if you do have in mind that all ROMS have bugs and problema that usually get fix when the developer updates them

[Q] Hey guys, Rom with or without radio/modem?

Hello everyone, its my first post here! but the reason why i say i need information quickly is that my phone service runs out today on my other phone. Anyways i have a sprint note ii. I need to flash it to a verizon rom. i have been using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086394
I have followed the instructions, but it says i need to specifically get a rom without modem/radio flashed with it. I just need someone to helpe specify the difference between a rom that flashes it or no. Will the rom specify? i have looked around and i see some that say modem and some that dont. I just dont know enough about the roms to risk bricking my phone. Thanks a lot guys

[Q] Request Lollipop 5.1.x original from AT&T

Hi, I bought last month a LG G3 D850 from AT&T, I'm from Argentina.
I must say that I'm very disappointed about this phone by the way, the extraction of the FM chip is really anoying.
But I have it, and for a year maybe I must use it.
The problem is that AT&T only update Android if you have a SIM Card from AT&T, and in Argentina AT&T doesn't exist.
I rooted the phone and try Cyanogem (the graphics are really poor and the performance is poorer) and Cloudy G3 (that has A LOT of bugs and problems with the system).
So I ask you, if you can help me, the official AT&T Room of Lollipop. I prefer a lot of AT&T programs (that can be uninstalled) that have a rom that crash every 5 minutes.
I apreciate your help a lot.

You can follow my LG G3 back to stock guide and use the tot method. But there's no lollipop. You'd be stuck with kitkat, as OTA doesn't work. There's no official D850 lollipop tot and probably never will be. You'd have to flash KitKat. And hope OTA might some how work or try manually downloading the OTA after rooting the fresh install of kitkat.

That's a shame.
But anyway, it's secure to come back to kitkat? Or there's a chance of broke the phone without a chance of recoverying it?
Can you put the link of the guide?
Thank you!

There will always be a way. . Just like ever since it first came out. It's just very doubtful that a stock lollipop will come out.
It's not easy to link when mobile but here you go. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53452990
Also just googling LG G3 back to stock that guide is the first one.

If you are OK with keeping root and TWRP, there are in fact stock ATT lollipop roms that you can use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/development/rom-lg-d850-20f-lollipop-5-0-1-extras-t3052041 - Stock ATT 5.0.1 ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/development/rom-20f-stock-rom-debloated-t3059610 - Same stock ATT 5.0.1 ROM but with most ATT apps removed
Thank you very much!!!!!

[Completed] fake lg g2 d802?

hi guys wondering if anyone can help? i have bought a lg g2 d802 32gb from a seller in asia on ebay and having some probs.
firstly, its not picking up 4g, i am with ee, and the d802 supports all 3 frequencies which ee use. i thought it may be a software issue, so i went to install cyanogenmod on it. the first thing i noticed which was strange is that the phone was already rooted (phone is sold as brand new) and has phils clockwork restore software on it? when i went to install the mod, it failed with a warning that the mod failed due to the phone actually being a d801!
now the imei, on the sticker on the back of phone matches the number in the hardware. and on doing a imei check online, it does state that its a d802?
confused.com!! any input would be welcome.

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
My bet is that, with root and custom recovery on it already, someone decided to use a variant firmware on the device as well, making the device "think" it's a D801 (T-Mobile model) instead of a D802 (European model).
Either that, or someone went very great lengths on changing the model number on the device (including hacking LG).
In the case of the former, you will need a stock ROM to bring yourself back to the D802 firmware. I would clear this situation (and my theory) with the device experts first, as well, as get an idea as to what the process will be. Please check out the following thread:

thanks joel.maxuel to confuse matters, the cm12 for d802 wouldnt install, so i tried it with the d801 version and it worked.
so to confirm what your saying as im a newbie with rooting and mods etc.. if i put a stock rom back onto the d802, it would then accept cm12 specifically for a d802 and would stop the 'warning cant install this rom as this phone is a d801?'
many thanks, just trying to get clear the job to hand.

That's the theory, yes. But if everything seems to work while spoofed as a D801, I'm not sure if I see the point in bothering to switch it back. The only advantage I can see is to potentially take advantage of some cell frequencies that were previously blocked, and you may end up blocking other ones in the process.
Depends on where in the world you live. If it's North America, might as well leave things be (since the stock was for T-Mobile USA). If in Europe, you may be better off going back to D802 stock.
I hope that helps.

im in the uk, and d802 has the correct frequencies for 4g which my provider 'ee' uses which is why i specifically bought the d802. however 4g ISNT working with this 'd802' but it was working with my last d802.
upon going to install cm12 for d802, i was hoping the software change would make the 4g frequencies work as they should on a d802 e.g. 800/1800/2600.. philz clockwork mod tho just said that it cant install cm12 as the version i had d/l was for a d802 (of course - thats the phone i thought id bought!) philz clockworkmod says my phone is actually a d801, so im thinking there no wonder the 4g isnt working if thats the case!
i was unable to install cm12 rom for d802, so would a stock rom for d802 work? seeing as the error message i had with the cm12 was 'cant install this, your phone is a d801'
quite confusing i know hmmm

As it sounds like you truly have a D802, in theory an 802 stock ROM should work. Was even suggested in the other thread you posted in. Although, putting the rubber to the road, I don't know for sure how to switch stock firmware's (normally for LG you need a KDZ file and an emergency flash tool). This part is best answered by asking in the thread I linked earlier on.
Best of luck.

Non at&t rom on at&t device.

Dear ,
I have an unlocked LG G3 D850. It had the at&t and it was causing problems with day to day use. I put twrp, cloudyg3, and rooted. Of course 5.0 is not good, so I want to either revert back to 4.4 or 6.0, but without at&t bloatware.
My question is, can I flash the D855 on the D850? This is not a device specific question. Does at&t change the hardware? Can I flash a non at&t on an at&t device? I would flash the new 6.0 at&t but do not want the bloatware. I would also like to keep it like stock lg, without the CM launcher or that stuff.
Again, this is a general question and not device specific.
Thank you modders!
(I researched and saw no answer to my question anywhere)

About stock roms

Hi, I recently updated from Android 11 to 12 and I want to go back (reasons). I have a Moto G31 bought in the Philippines.
My question is mainly about stock roms if I were to flash the firmware:
- Would I be able to get it to be identical to when I bought the phone? i.e all the same few preinstalled Moto apps and it would still go through all the normal Moto updates again?
- Would the warranty (according to the device itself) be intact? also, in other words, would the phone itself know it was different from when I first bought it?
- Would a stock rom from say Brazil be different to the one I should have on my Phillippines model (assuming they both have the exact same version number RRWB31.Q3-46-85)?
Thank you in advance for any replies
You are not the only one wanting to go back. I have found the correct ROM for me (eu) but not the correct instructions. The Lenovo forum has several pages in the thread for Android 12 problems on the G31 and people are pretty upset. There is another thread here too asking for help on rolling back the ROM, and I hope someone here on XDA who is knowledgeable can help.
