Thinking of getting G3 coming from S4, is the current G3 stock still able to use roms

So as some of you may know the S4 had it's exploit fixed and since then we haven't been able to get away from Touchwiz based roms.
Before I go get the G3 I just wanted to be 100% clear that even the latest firmware hasn't fixed Bump, and I will be able to do other AOSP roms. From my quick research it seems like it's fine, but I only have 20 minutes left to get it friday instead of monday, so I figured I would just ask to be safe.

AT&T released firmware Build number: KVT49L.D85010f to patch root exploit. Read this thread

When Android Lollipop rolls out to G3 in the near future, rooting will be harder to accomplish. Same for other brands.

But that is recent enough that a phone bought today will not come with it out of the box, so I'm not worried about that.
And in theory I can just flash a bumped lollipop build later anyway right?
I just want to make sure it's not in the same current state as the S4 where you have to have touchwiz and match roms to bootloader version and what not.
I know there isn't too many roms yet with bump being fairly new, but as long as I stay on the current build I should be fine going forward no?
And I guess on that note, the stock rom isn't nearly as bad touchwiz is it?

Cool, I went for it, thanks for the quick clarifications. I can read all about everything now while I impatiently wait for UPS friday.

with LG phones you can always downgrade the software to a version where you can root.
I am sure there will be a way to get official lollipop while keeping custom recovery and root.
Once again, LG locked the door but forgot to close it before locking like what they did on the G2. So we were still able to upgrade while keeping custom recovery and root by mixing and matching partitions from upgrade and previous versions.

Which emui/android version should I run ?

Hi
I just got myself this phone, I would like to know which software (android/emui) version is the best to run? In terms of minimum amount of lags/bugs, best battery management. I do not mind not having the lastest features as I only use my phone to call/text/browseinet/watch videos.
my phone version is the H60-L04V100R001C00B109SP01.
Thanks guys for your help.

Then I would not upgrade. The Android 4.4 the phone comes with is more likely your best option.

CM 11. If you don't know what that is or are unfamiliar with flashing custom ROMs, then just stay on whatever you are already using.

I know what cyanogenmod is but I don't like it, also I do not want to root or flash custom roms.
thanks for your advice tho

I'd say upgrade to the last KitKat ROM released for your model and stick to it maybe until Marshmallow stable becomes a thing. I wanted to downgrade to KitKat after getting Lollipop as in my opinion it was much better but just couldn't be bothered enough to actually downgrade to be honest.

lg v10 downgrade from mm to lollipop

Ok so I got a lg v10 h900 it has already been updated to mm and I'm wondering if there's any way to go bk to lollipop

I am guessing you are trying to go back for root right? Well, you cannot go back. It will not work, and you will brick your device in the process. Don't worry, me and LGMono are working on getting root for MM right now, we are VERY close if this TOT is authentic...

Any root for the h900 yet

Zvnexus... I humbly and respectfully ask if you've made progress since your post in June? I haven't seen any major announcement, so probably not. But maybe, just maybe, you've made some progress to share???
I ask as an ATT security update is being announced on my phone.

Oh, I stopped working on this phone a little while ago, I do not care enough about this phone to continue working on it. I am sorry. But if anyone finds anything viable, I would be more than happy to help

Hey all! Good news! A 9-year-old bug called the "Dirty Cow" exploit still exists in the Linux/Android kernel can easily grant root on any Android phone!!! See the video below.
http://www.xda-developers.com/9-year...on-of-android/
So there's another bug to exploit for root and even possibly unlocking the bootloader! The bug has been fixed recently in Linux but hasn't been rolled into Android yet. If anyone can get this working on my AT&T LG V10 (running Marshmallow) I'll give a reward of $50! Plus you'll be my hero! Now get crackin!

Overclock J330FN

Is there any custom kernel that can allow overclocking on the J330FN Oreo?

Nope. It is highly unlikely that a custom kernel or even rom to be made for this device as no one is developing anything on it. The device has reached end of life considering it is a budget device after all.

No problem and i am aware since she helped make sampwned32 for the sm-j327t and sm-j327t1 I found the root method that was used on the s8 variant with a locked bootloader and brought it up and even tested the root method on the device and it worked. But a month later samsung released a new update that patched it. If it wasn't for ashyx converting the files from ARM64 to ARM this method would have never worked. Also after samsung patched the root method they only released one more security update and ended up cancelling the android oreo update for metropcs and tmobile after we was told our device would get it. Oh boy i was pretty pissed. Like come on samsung you could atleast unlock the device's bootloader and allow us to make our own custom roms which would be alot better and would be oreo based. It is sad how samsung forgot about us and didn't even bother to release a new phone to the metropcs and tmobile market in the budget area. The mid range J7 Prime got more love than this device did fr.

That's correct. I have a rom that I want to use that's on Marshmallow and since I know I can't downgrade from bootloader version 5 I'm sending this phone back that just got to my house today.
Edit: I know I said bootloader version 6 but I meant the first bootloader version with Android Marshmallow.

Damn good luck in your search I'm still on marshmallow myself cause these newer android versions have difficulty with mods like viperFX and more importantly xposed can't leave home without that.. [emoji817]

Yeah it sucks and everyone on Ebay and Amazon is claiming it is and it gets here on bootloader version 5 no where near Marshmallow! I figured I'd try here for a change since I know there's got to be some people like me that deal with phones every day and probably have one in a drawer somewhere! Hopefully anyway! Thanks though!

You might do some more research. I have heard that while Odin won't let you downgrade a bootloader, TWRP will. The "lock" isn't in the phone; it is in Odin. I haven't tried it (or needed to), so I'm not certain that it works. This means, of course, that you need to find a ROM (w/ bootloader) or standalone bootloader in TWRP zip format.
