Hey all,
I've never rooted/rom'd an android phone before. I own an LG G3 D855. I've read through the forums and found a spreadsheet to help me root my phone. I'm unclear (for a better choice of words, completely lost) on what to do step by step in order to install a different rom on my phone and IF I don't like it, can I go back to my stock rom?
Sorry again if wrong forum, complete newbie here.
Hi,
Here is a dedicated frequently asked questions thread for your device that will answer most your questions. And if you still need help with something after reading all you can, ask here too...

Good luck!

When i use the method with SystemBackupTest it wont run, and with the ADB i dont know the commands on Linux. Can anyone help me on how to find a way to root it OR to bypass the rooting and just install CWM?

btw I apologize if im posting on the wrong category
HI,
Yes, there are lots of options for you it looks like. This is the section for your device....
LG Optimus L3, L5, L7
See the development sections for ROMs for your device.
Are you rooted? You need to have a custom recovery to flash ROMs. If you are completely stock, you've never received an update?
Here is a great guide that covers a lot... Read up, the more you learn ahead of time... The easier and safer things will be..
> LG Optimus L3, L5, L7Optimus L3, L5, L7 General>[L7]P700/P705 Guide for Rooting,CWM install,ROMs,Baseband
You can ask for help regarding the things in the guide in that thread.
Other questions or issues should be asked in the Q&A section. (see my first link)
Good luck!

Thanks alot for the clarifications but i'm newbie and i don't really now the procedures i understand that i have to root the phone first then i don't know what to do ... could you wrap it up for me please.
XDA Assist is for helping navigate the site only.
That said...quick summary...
-unlock bootloader (or some equivalent exploit )
- flash custom recovery
- root... Or just flash custom rom, which likely is already rooted. (always read rom flashing instructions carefully)
It's all in the guide I linked.
There's other ways, but that's a whole other can of worms.
Further questions will have to be asked in the guide thread, or stay a new thread in your Q&A section. ?

No sorry. But you can just copy your original post to a new thread.
Again, read and read. The more you know, the smother life will be with this stuff. Going into things confused is a recipe for trouble.
You will find this advise will probably be repeated. It's on all us members to do the homework, and ask for clarification on things.... But getting walked through things can also lead to trouble if you misunderstand something, or the person helping you is just wrong. ?
Read the guide I linked. Read some of the replies... As they often have the same questions you do. Browse the general and Q&A sections and you'll find similar questions and info that you've been asking. Especially read the stickied threads at the top of the sections.
This hobby requires work, effort and time. ?
Again, good luck!

Would anyone please point me to a ROM to flash on the new LG G4?
Device has stock G4 ROM (L5.1, build LMY47D), bootloader unlocked, rooted.
I'm looking for any deodexed ROM that can be flashed on this LG G4, specially any lean / debloated ROM, or with Aroma.
Custom ROMS for G4 seem to be scarce as hen's teeth!
Many thanks in advance.
Hi there,
All about your device is located in the device specific forum here: xda-developers -> LG G4
For questions please ask directly here: G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck and read carefully all before doing anything
Thanks Razvan

The G4 forums are still in development. Current issues there are mainly unlocking the bootloader, getting Xposed installed without bootloop (which I too haven't managed yet), KDZ, etc. Best advice I got for my Q on G4 forums was, quote:
"there are countless ASOP ROMs for the G4"! ..but not a clue to where I could find one.
You are right of course. Device-specific forum is the first place anyone should go to. Thank you.
Too soon for G4 forums to be of any help. I've been active there for over a month.
Other ROMs (Omni, Slim, CM12 etc) not yet for G4. So I followed the advice on XDA-Assist and posted my Q here.
Maybe I should now throw the towel in!
Great device but useless to me without Xposed and a deodexed ROM.
Yes I do read carefully. That's good advice too. Thanks again.
Still... if you can help, I'd appreciate it.
Your right but the best chance is only in the device specific forums to find something usefull for your device. So please ask/post there .
Good luck

hello, I am a new member. I have a couple questions about rooting my phone and the basics. I understand how to root a phone I have done several so far, but my last phone got bricked because I know nothing about recovery. I am searching for a tutorial on the bare basics of reading, recovery, roms, and kernels. Basically a tutorial explaining what they are and how / why to do them. I have searched this forum but could not find what I'm looking for I apologize if it is already in here and I apologize if this is posted in the wrong spot please move this so. any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am also searching for the best setup for my new phone and LG G Stylo by metro (LGMS631). something that will give me the most speed and usable storage space. thank you again, Nikkon
Hi,
As far as info and asking questions about your device, here's the place for that,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/t/lg-g-stylo
The best way to learn about the basics is searching on specific topics and read, read and read some more. Here's one good source of info to get you started, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/ref-understanding-basics-rooting-s3-gt-t2362743
That is for a Samsung device, so not all info will apply to your device. But reading through some threads in the first link I gave you should help enlighten you. :good:
Good luck!
