Are you asking if LS990 version of autorec LP (linked in OP) works on D852 or if D852 version was made ?
In the first case, the answer is no, you can not use LS990 version on D852, because it uses proper LS990 partition (aboot, boot, laf + TWRP) (D855 version is linked in my answer too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60122748&postcount=4), so if you use it in another model, you'll brick it.
In the second case, you can search in play store if D852 model exists, and if not, ask @bender_007 if he could do it for this model (he'll surely need that someone provides him aboot,boot and laf kk version of D852 for doing it, by extracting them from kdz/tot).

For begining, it needs someone to provide a link to an official firmware in KK version for your model (kdz/tot).
Following, from this file, we'll be able to extract needed partitions.
It needs bumped TWRP for D852 too (link ?).
With all of that, and if he's ok, @bender_007 will be abble to make a rogers D852 LP autorec (it surely needs one or two experienced testers too).
Don't worry about PM, i'm pretty sure @bender_007 is reading us, and he's realy a nice guy

 

[Mike-12345]

Does the App for D855 also "bumps" it automatically or do I have to do something else then?

It lives bump kernel (not sure about live bump, because LS990 contains boot, so it contains pre-bumped kernel, anyway you have nothing to do about it) and flash bumped TWRP. Nothing to do else

edit: no live bump for the moment for D855 too, it contains pre-bumped kernel

 

[Mike-12345]

It lives bump kernel and flash bumped TWRP. Nothing to do else

Okay, thanks a lot

Hi.

It means one more with the same doubt as you.

 

[6ril1]

Hi.

It means one more with the same doubt as you.

It seems to me that the author of apk, @bender_007, is waiting an answer about your firmware version (one post before yours), before considering to make a version for your model, I tend to assume
if you can answer him, maybe it would advance the solution

 

[jac10000]

Hi @ingoljosh
Could you add on your thread the version of D855 ?
You could then centralize here the various versions that @bender_007 would develop

 

[bender_007]

Downloading rogers(btw can rogers and bell use the same firmware?)

 

[radman_84]

Is 852 20c your lollipop version ?

Ok 852 users, help me a little bit about this and we are making progress

Yes Software version for my Rogers D852 running lollipop is D85220c.

 

[bender_007]

Ok. Not sure if I'm gonna make it today but tomorrow for sure

 

[ingoljosh]

@Bender007 I haven't forgotten about you man. im gonna take care of you, give me a couple of days.
