    LG G3 D851 Lollipop (T-Mobile US)

    This thread contains multiple ways to get to T-Mobile's first Lollipop update, 20B. The 2nd post has a custom L build I made which has all the T-Mobile things removed (including wifi/lte calling).

    Directions:

    Must be rooted. Use PurpleDrake or the new LG root floatin' around.
    Be sure you are using TWRP v2.8.6 or higher. YMMV with other versions. DOWNLOAD TWRP HERE
    Be sure all apps/data have been backed up (Helium/Titanium Backup) if you plan on restoring apps.
    Be sure to have an EFS backup. If you don't.. you can make an EFS backup in TWRP or using the directions in my thread.


    1. D/L n' flash 4 zips: 20B BOOTLOADER zip, SYSTEM zip, MODEM zip and BOOT zip.
    2. Do a factory reset in TWRP (Wipe > swipe)
    3. Done.. reboot TWRP into Lollipop. Be ready to wait up to 5min on first boot.


    20B Stock Images

    These are the untouched stock images from the official T-Mobile Lollipop 20B update for the LG G3 D851.
    System.img only comes as a flashable zip.. easy install and saves space. Loose images can be flashed manually or packed in a zip.

    Manual .IMG Installation
    Code:
    [SIZE="2"]dd if=/sdcard/[I]imagenamehere.img[/I] of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/[I]nameofpartitionhere[/I]
    
    example: 
    dd if=/sdcard/[I]modem.img[/I] of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/[I]modem[/I]
    *command assumes image is in root of internal storage.[/SIZE]

    20B OTA UPDATE

    D85110r_00-D85120b_00_update.zip
    MD5: 204ca98458c4e2f14c35f6694f1f8b3d
    This is the 10R -> 20B OTA update zip. Rather than waiting for it to push to your phone from T-Mobile.. you can manually install it as long as you are on STOCK 10R and have STOCK RECOVERY and are ROOTED. Other than root you must be 100% stock. If you deleted any stock apps that were in /system or installed xposed etc there is a very good chance you will not pass the updates system check before the update actually flashes. The update zip patches pre-existing files rather than adding full new files.. this helps keep the OTA zips file size down... and is also why ALL system files and your kernel/boot partition is checked before it flashes. The zip will FAIL if you have TWRP installed.

    1. Download the OTA update zip from the D851 20B folder HERE
    2. Copy the update zip into the cache folder (this is why you need root) then rename it: update.zip
    3. Open Phone dialer > dial 3845#*851# > select WCDMA-Only -- DM/FOTA Test -- internal -- update
    your phone will reboot then show: "Installing system update" with the lil green android guy. wait... done.

    You will lose root after the update and be 100% stock again.


    20B KDZ Method

    T-Mobile D851 20B KDZ
    To flash the KDZ manually read the thread HERE. Flashing KDZ will remove TWRP... you'd have to re-root then reinstall TWRP (if you even wanted it of course).

    LG Mobile Support Tool
    Download this Windows-based tool to update to 20B. This tool auto-downloads the KDZ and installs it for you. Install... run and follow the onscreen directions. If the app doesn't seem to start the upgrade try manually selecting: Options > Upgrade Recovery
    @Chrishup has posted a rundown of how he updated using the Mobile Support Tool HERE.

    there might be a fix.. there might be new modems. let's just say.. what I have I cannot share. If someone finds a way and wants to share it... I'm all for it. When I get something I can share.. or the OTA comes and I can grab the official files.. or someone shares something before me... then everyone will have it ASAP. It's coming soooon :good:
    Here's working modem that I used in my ROM :) D851 LP Baseband

    Custom Rom

    LGD851.20L-ollipop.I.UNICRON-iNb4TMO.zip
    MD5: f1de51acffe17435c8172b4b0cd28cbc
    This rom/kernel is not to be repacked or used as the "base" in your #yoloswag420 rom.
    *This rom comes with a kernel so a boot.img or boot zip is NOT needed.

    LGD851.20L-ollipop.I is a fusion of LG's 5.0 and 5.0.1, including some 20B bits. It has all things "T-Mobile" removed from the rom (except APN). If you don't need any T-Mobile features and want a minimal/debloated stock LG Lollipop experience this may be the rom for you.
    LGD851.20L-ollipop.I's UNICRON build is most likely the final build for "v1". LGD851.20L-ollipop.II will start up when newer LG builds are available, most likely with Android 5.1.

    Few Highlights:
    Debloated
    Stock LG Lollipop, no "tmo-ness"
    Built-in PrimeTether
    Rooted + Busybox
    Updated Firmware
    Ext-SD card Write Mod
    Built-in kernel certified by savoca®
    Supports @savoca's great mods:
    on-the-fly screen sharpness on/off via Whetstone
    display calibration with his KCAL Color Control app
    Certified SAVOCA kernel is GPL-compliant

    Upgrade to Lollipop and can't download anything or write to internal sdcard? Fix yo permz. This doesn't fix extSD issues.

    What would be the difference between this and Cloudy's? Without the wifi calling, it's pretty much just Lollipop + LG's stuff, right?

    our definition of bloat (I removed most google apps for example)
    mine is based on D855 20i + fw so NFC/WiFi/BT works... Cloudy's is based on the newer D855 20K which is not yet public.
    he adds camera mods, init.d support, all weather animations, removes sharpening, adds viper sound mod... I don't have any mods.

    his audio during calls will most likely work while mine currently does not. AFAIK that the only issue... kinda of a big one for many. I don't make calls with this phone so I had never tested it.. figures..

    *edit*
    I've fixed the call audio issue. does anyone still want this?

    *edit 2*
    ok uploading..

    lol @ this rom and it's issues...

    *edit*
