So the very first ROM to get posted was a not very functional MIUIv5 port. Since then it is pretty much stock and AOSP variations.
I was poking around and saw that en.miui.com has a ROM posted for LG G3 Single SIM. Has anyone tried this on our phone.
My guess is that it is not BUMP'd and for some Chinese unlocked version of the phone.
What will happen if we flash a non BUMP'd ROM onto our phone? Will it brick or can we restore from NAND or re-flash?
I remember running MIUI on my OG, since then though stock and AOSP have been fantastic.
I'd love to see a functional MIUI port on this device. I've always been a big fan of MIUI.
Same here, I actually love MIUI and its UI and themes, would be great to have one fully working again for our G3s

In fact this rom, is the one we saw in November (made by rogue). This rom uses stock kernel, and is compatible with d850 vs985 ls990 d851 d855 d852 f400s f400k f400l
Do you know how stable that version is?

Are you referring to this one? I kind of wanted to give it a shot but was afraid to. Does anyone know if PA Gapps would work with it?

EDIT: I went ahead and flashed it, and everything seems to work except data. It's unbelievably fast and smooth, which makes me wish I could figure out how to get data to work. Thoughts?

Are there no roms for the NK1 4.4.2 build for verizon that aren't AOSP? I have been looking and haven't found any. I really do NOT like Verizon's stock rom and was hoping to find a rom I could flash on this phone. I just don't want to flash something that will brick my store bought phone.
Thanks

There is the lollipop 5.0.1 unofficial cm12 rom. I haven't tried it out yet due to some problems with my safestrap . But you should definitely check it out! and if you have moment, please check out my post i really need help! thanks droidusr2014.

I have been told that CM won't work on retail versions of the phone. They will work on DEV Edition phones, but not ours. We need roms that are not AOSP roms. The only roms that work on retail versions of the phone run touchwiz.
Oh bummer at least I have root though. Anyway I guess I can use the hyperdrive or echo rom
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Free mobile app
I will have to check those roms out as well. I really don't like the stock rom at all. Have you tried either of those two roms to make sure they work?
Echoe's S5 rom is pretty nice. Has working Ultra Power Saving Mode feature going for it. I had problems getting MMS to work perfectly on it however. Likely user error, I admit. Tried Hyperdrive out as well; no complaints there (just switch to Echoe for a while to try out UPSM)
I personally really like Eclipse rom for the AOSP experience I was ultimately after. Completely Google-fied the rom myself by installing just about every Google app available on the market :laugh:
You cant go wrong with Empty Galaxy vDecember, Eclipse or Echoe.
Hi Guys,
This is the twrp recovery for lg g3 f460k (snapdragon 805) variant that i just finished compiling. Feel free to download and use. I just wanted to make a recovery as i realized there isn't one.
DOWNLOAD FOR LOLLIPOP
http://www.4shared.com/file/r4RvFfGdce/lollipop_recovery.html
Back up and remove LG G3 laf partition and boot into fast boot . Instructions below
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/lg-g3-fastboot-mode-61660/

Not working. This is fake!
There are actually a working twrp 2.8.6.0 for F460 variant which were sharing in some Chinese forums, i managed to get one and it's really fully working. But the thing is there are no one make ROM for this variant so why need a recovery so bad ). Wish someday i could use a AOSP based rom working on F460 variant, would be awesome.

No matter just explain here with step by instructions how to get TWRP or CWM for f460k lollipop for rooted device.

F460K flashed lollipop kdz and rooted using Lg one click root. Is there any recovery apk installer for lollipop available like in kitkat. If it is little difficult also explain with proper steps. Translator in chinese or viet forums are totally not understandable.

Hey bro,
Actually there is no use for twrp for our devices. Its main purpose is to flash custom rom for which there aren't any. If you are rootedt thats good enough.
If you really want twrp then remove laf partition boot in fast boot and boot into recovery. Use google on how to process.
Lam huaong android lollipop 5.0 rom.. Can it be installable from kitkat stock after rooting and installed recovery on kitkat.And by flashing kitkat kdz i can downgrade it from lollipop to kitkat.
I am working with Bender to try to get an autorec going based off the JZ-Real twrp. If that is successful I plan on dipping my fingers into the ROM developing kool-aid.
No promises on timelines or features, will likely be vanilla AOSP-based at first. But work and kids are my first two priorities whereas this is just a hobby.

On lgviet forum, a rom modder released that apk which install recovery on LP rom (root required) which i'm using. Could that be counted as Autorec? Since i can boot to system or rec directly without having to modify anything else.

I kinda found an autorec apk for f460slk by bender_007 on his androidfilehost profile, which is a great news for me. Wonder how's the ROM developing is going on now...
I have a verizon note 2 on straight talk. its 4.4.2 rooted but with an unlockable bootloader. I cant install any roms dont use the stock touchwiz kernel.
Ive been looking and i think a verizon G3 is what i need. i use straight talk and where i live only gets verizon service.
it looks like this phone is downgradable but i dont know much about it and the threads are not very recent.
Is there anything i need to know when buying a G3? For instance, my note 2, if i had just bought one with 4.3 android and not 4.4.2 i wouldnt be having this problem. are there any similar issues with this phone?
i would be rooting it and installing cm12.
thanks guys any advice is appreciated.
Also if theres another phone that might be better for me im also interested. i liked the g3 because it has a 5.5" screen like my note 2. Anything below 5.5" would be too small. Micro sd card slot is a must. Removable and upgradable battery also.

so what is the latest android version i can get on this phone without having a locked bootloader and stuck on stock rom with no root?actually the bootloader cant be unlocked at all, the g3 has a "bypass" called "bump" which gives you the same benefit as unlocked, but really is not.
the last directly bumpable version is 12b, however bump can be used on every version through various methods, including the current 35b or 5.1.

They can all be downgraded, even 5.1.1. However, i bought one with 5.0.1. It is easier to root and ROM from a 5.0.1 and 4.4.2.

The G3 can be downgraded from any current firmware and then twrp can be installed via bump. i have had my G3 for about a year now, and have been running CM on it since CM 11 was officially released and am currently running cm12.1 i plan to keep my G3 until it dies or i break it or until another Verizon phone is released where developers find out how to bypass/unlock the bootloader, sadly the G4 hasn't been unlocked if it was i would upgrade ASAP

thanks i just got the g3 and have it rooted. its the vs985 on 24b. im worried about losing the efs data while downgrading. i dont want to downgrade first and then back it up with twrp.
did you back up your efs before downgrading?
My G3, which I recently got, was a 23C model. I just followed the n00b unlocker threads here, and did it with a combination of ADB and the LG FLash Tool.
I'm now running current TWRP and XDABBEB's bootstack and VS985 ROM (5.1.1). Bear in mind that the camera will not work as well under CM/AOSP ROMs. I returned to a stock variant because I didn't like the camera performance, both speed and acuity. For me, tetherability, display, relative compactness, replaceable battery and mSD card, all relative to price, were my value points. The G3 has been a great phone on all of those counts.

Answered you in the other thread.
While trying to research RIL/baseband for CM13, I have tested virtually every ROM for n900v with various combinations of KK and LP modems.
So far, these are the only two that have worked for me...and I must say that the first works VERY well... tempted to use their sources to build out CM13.
1. Dirty Unicorns v9.8 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/orig-development/rom-dirty-unicorns-v9-0-t3006601)
With the OF1 modem/non-hlos, DU 9.8 has working LTE right out of the box, and seems to be a very mature ROM.
2. LiquidSmooth 4.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-liquidsmooth-v4-0-lollipop-t3008474)
Liquidsmooth is the only other ROM I have been able to have establish reliable cellular and mobile data. Also using the OF1 modems, but LTE is NOT working reliably. Setting to 3G as preferred works fine and persists through reboots.
3. UPDATE: CM11 OFFICIAL works if you install and boot Dirty Unicorns first, then wipe and flash CM11.. **not working after further testing**
4. CM13...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...opment/rom-temaseks-unofficial-build-t3364382
I have been on my own modded version of Temaseks CM13 for over a week and have had no issues whatsoever. Rock solid.
Anyone else have anything working?
Thats awesome thanks for sharing the information.
What does "non-hlos" mean? Dirty Unicorns looks pretty nice until a real CM rom comes out.

It is a .bin file that is part of the radio
... Nothing you will need to worry about unless you have been flashing different ones already
If you ODINed OF1 to root/unlock, you should be all set to run this.
Yes, it is LP 5.1.1 and is very well put together. I am still trying to figure out why it runs so well... Looks like a combo of straight AOSP with cherry-picked CM12 features.
I flashed the OFI partial firmware back when I put Jasmine on my phone. Should that be enough?

Probably didn't need that partial firmware then. You must have flashed OF1 and rooted at some point, so yes it should be good to go.

Other than these two, every other ROM has major radio issues. All of the CM11 based stuff seems to connect LTE/3G just fine, but will not hold it...the radio constantly cycles. All of the CM13 stuff has radio connected at the base level, but needs some tweaks in order to make it available to the OS properly.

Dirty Unicorns wouldn't pick up 4G LTE on Straight Talk (Verizon)
Only data working with Dirty Unicorns and that MVNO was 1G
Screen went blank while calling with speaker phone on and wouldn't come back on unless the power button
was pressed in constantly while I changed the display settings to only blank at 30 minutes.
Samsung SM-N900V OF1 rooted and then bootloader unlocked,
did not flash OF1 after the bootloader unlock and then straight to Dirty Unicorns latest version.
Just curious, I like the phone and use it over my Nite 5 when I want something slim. But there's no new roms. Why is that?

everyone is waiting for the marshmallow release
There's lots of new roms, they are just over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development
and they don't have wifi calling
I'm sorry I'm still learning. Are there certain versions we are supposed to use with the tmobile variant?
Roms and Kernels for any of the snapdragon models ( G900F/M/I/L/K/T/S/W8 ) should work on the t-mobile version, however only t-mobile based roms will have wifi calling so if you are addicted to wifi calling you will need to stick to t-mobile roms.
Also there isn't MM 6X bootloader or radio for your phone yet so the MM roms may not work I haven't tried one yet...
I've been running thunderbolt v2 for a week, very nice 5X N5 ported rom with lots of cool new features t-mobile is too cheap to enable.
the current version of thunderbolt is an MM rom so it may not work over the 5x bootloader and radio...
I also ran PopWiz Telstra v5.1 for nearly a month it's another great rom.
I recomend the kernels made for the roms too, the kernels for t-moble will break the camera and give you another problem to solve and there are several really nice kernels over in the other s5 thread anyway...
probably better served to stick with T-mobile, then root & debloat.

ha! well I understand the sentiment, but there are good reasons for slimming down the stock rom. I have been around here quite awhile and have never seen anyone succeed at graftin the T-mo Wifi Calling app into a full custom ROM. Neither have I ever seen a successful substitute for the feature - it works very well no thanks to T-Mo but thanks to the small expert contractor that developed the code.
so for those who like the feature, we debloat, and enjoy life

so for those who like the feature, we debloat, and enjoy life

I gotcha, I wasn't suggesting trying to get wifi calling working in another rom, Just that you would have to go without it if you flash one of the international roms...
I have found the google hangouts dialer to be a reliable substitute for wifi calling so It is an easy move for me to wander away from a t-moble rom.
I realize many have not had as much success with hangouts for various reasons but it works for me. Plus I really don't need it at all anyway.
and HERE it is...

Roms and Kernels for any of the snapdragon models ( G900F/M/I/L/K/T/S/W8 ) should work on the t-mobile version, however only t-mobile based roms will have wifi calling so if you are addicted to wifi calling you will need to stick to t-mobile roms.
Also there isn't MM 6X bootloader or radio for your phone yet so the MM roms may not work I haven't tried one yet...
I've been running thunderbolt v2 for a week, very nice 5X N5 ported rom with lots of cool new features t-mobile is too cheap to enable.
the current version of thunderbolt is an MM rom so it may not work over the 5x bootloader and radio...
I also ran PopWiz Telstra v5.1 for nearly a month it's another great rom.
I recomend the kernels made for the roms too, the kernels for t-moble will break the camera and give you another problem to solve and there are several really nice kernels over in the other s5 thread anyway...

hi? are you saying any tmobile galaxy phone will work with international roms of F, C, H and so on versions? I have been wondering why many tmobile sub forums are always quiet under development section

Ya pretty much, G900F/M/I/L/K/T/S/W8 roms should work with only minor tinkering, most of the roms over in the GS5 development thread are based off of the g900f debbase from ALEXNDR so it is probably safer to say any g900f rom will work on most any other snapdragon s5.
Although I have to say I've been on our t-mobile MM rom, deodexed/rooted and I find it pretty much flawless so I haven't been sampling the other roms for a couple of weeks now...
Have u tried this one ? @OldeCrow

There is specific warning, also it has bootloader, modem, modem lte.
DO THIS BEFORE INSTALLING THE ROM - ONLY FOR G900F:
This is only for G900F, if you do this on other S5, you might brick your device!

You should be fine, the modem and boot-loader are separate and you couldn't flash them if you wanted to, they are not for our phone!
As long as you are already on our MM build Phoenix should install just fine. If you still haven't upgraded to MM officially MM roms might have trouble with the older radio and boot-loader.
The Phoenix kernel is one of the best kernels over there too.
I would take the customer.xml from your current MM CSC and place it in the zip for Phoenix before you flash it so you have the t-mobile apn info already in the rom when you flash it.
Yes I m currently on MM.
First tell me how to backup all, especially efs folder, my two phones got a problem coz of EFS , no network issue and changed many firmware but didnt get successful.
Anyways which software/app is best flashfire ? Or any other? Will custom twrp recovery do the job ?
And then please guide me to what I have to do first, for installing tht rom coz according to the OP in tht thread, my device will brick.
Thanks for replying
