Hi all, i'm pleased to share my work with you.
Here you have the latest official lollipop firmware for D855 ( v. 20A - LRX21M) packed in a zip flashable file.
I made this because all of us want to keep the old bootloader that is - at the moment - the only one who accept the bumped TWRP provided us by team Codefire.
I made also a step further and found a way to root this ROM.
Here you go:
First of all i suggest you to install the TWRP modded by me to allow the backup of the modem.
Be sure you select also the modem partition before taking the backup. ( If you want to restore the backup then restore also the modem )
1- download the two files and put them into the sdcard;
2- reboot in recovery and do a factory reset;
3- install the ROM and the supersu ZIP;
4- reboot the device and enjoy your rooted Lollipop ROM.
If you come from an earlier lollipop firmware you can dirty flash, it might work.
I spend a lot of time developing this so if you think i deserve you can donate ( look at my sign )
DOWNLOAD
SUPERSU flashable ZIP
ROM
MIRROR
KK MODEM ( you need this only if you downgrade from lollipop to kitkat and you don't need if you backed up before with the modded TWRP recovery)

Q&A
What this ROM include?
In the ROM zip you can find only the system, modem and kernel (bumped) image
What do i need to flash this?
You need only to have the TWRP recovery installed
If i flash this i will lose the bumped recovery?
Nope. The bootloader will not be changed.
If i want go back to KK roms ( stock or AOSP) what i have to do?
Just flash your ROM or restore a previous nandroid backup. But, after that, flash the zip with the KK modem you can find in the 1st post.
I really need to flash the root files?
Must i answer????
Cannot write to internal SD?
With adb or a terminal emulator do:
Code:
su
restorecon -v -R /data/media
Your statusbar and navbar are gone?
This is a issue reported from some user.
Try to format manually data in TWRP before install the rom.
If this doesn't work try flashing the kdz of the H firmware ---> root ----> twrp ----> install this rom ( sperimental).
Doesn't have the option to enable LTE?
Go with a root browser to system/app/Lteconfigs/, click and install the apk, then reboot and you will have the option for LTE.
Wwooiootttttt?????

Like i said in the other post really tnx. My wife and my childs are gonna kill me for the time spent on the PC!
Now this is the stuff. Maybe this G3 wasn't a bad choice after all. Beer (or some wine to keep the wife happy) incoming when I'm not at work
beast.
thank you! could you possibly link to the tot/kdz you used to downgrade from lollipop to kitkat?
What kernel do you use for rooting? 4.4 or custom?
Wait wut? So this is all done in the stock recovery? No root, no custom recovery needed? Just bang it all on the sd card and go?

Sweet, great news!
Sorry for this question but after flashing this rom via bump twrp can we go back to KK Aosp by flashing it back? Or do we need to connect to a PC to restore back to stock fw?

The D855 is the international version.

Check this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/general/backup-lollipop-5-1-soak-test-t3144162
It's really simple, and as you already have TWRP, you don't need anything extra. But still, make a backup of your current rom.

Hi guys
Ive just purchased the great kenzo last week
I just wanted to know how do i root my phone
It has 8.0.5.0
I wanted to know is there a way to do this so that i dont lose warranty
Also as i understand i will have to unlock bootloader to do this and for that i will have to place a request with xiaomi thus voiding my warranty
So is it possible to just root and not void warranty
Also if there are any options to install custom roms as well without losing warranty
Any help will be appreciated guys
I am from India
Anybody??
Requesting a bootloader unlock will not void your warranty
It is easiest done in this order:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash TWRP recovery
3. Flash SuperSU to root.

You DO NOT have to unlock your bootloader to flash twrp and then root your phone. Please see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/red...-to-flash-twrp-recovery-unlock-t3473294/page8
It worked very well for me.

I think it will only work reliably on a Marshmallow based rom. So you will need to flash the latest global beta in edl mode.

Excellent work mate
Didnt expect such a quick reply, thnx
Just so that I've got this right..
I install this via edl using miui flash tool and changing the recovery to twrp in the package before installing
And then either i can root that rom or install any other rom
I do not have to unlock bootloader to do this right or install another rom following this?
What recovery would u suggest
Thanks again for ur help mate:good:

I would just flash global rom, unlock bootloader and then you can flash recovery via adb. It's easier.
Just use standard TWRP or Alka.

I used Zcx twrp. It can read the encrypted data partition in Marshmallow and also disable dm-verity in the locked bootloader. You must boot into recovery immediately after flashing the ROM and before booting into MIUI or twrp will be over written.
I have not flashed other ROMs, but I did root MIUI by flashing SuperSU from twrp without any problems.

Zcx twrp has SuperSU included that you can flash. That worked for me on 6.9.29. I have since upgraded to 6.10.13. You should check out the Zcx twrp thread on the guides forum.

Hey buddy
Please help me with this
I tried reverting back to stable build from CM 13
I used edl to flash stable build but when i do it and boot the rom i don't have network.
But when i flash the dev build i do have network.
I remember restoring the modem in dev build from twrp backup got the network up and running earlier when i reverted back to dev build from cm
But i cannot do that for the stable build coz of locked bootloader and no twrp
Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong

From what I've read, that is a general problem when you revert from a MIUI mm based ROM to a lollipop ROM. There are several threads on how to solve the problem.
Good luck.

I think you'll have to search for the threads here or on the MIUI forums. I don't remember the full procedure, but I think it involves flashing an older version of the developer ROM before flashing the stable ROM. I have not done it myself. Xiaomi even warns in the MIUI forums that reverting to the stable Lollipop ROM from the LL developer ROM is difficult.
Good luck.

Good news. I'm glad it worked out.
So I've managed to recover root privileges but dual recovery is lost, I've read in dual recovery Q&A that there's some files I have to erase when you don't want it anymore, so I thought just erase and then flash dual recovery again, but since this happened a lot of factory resets ago there are some concerns about this being the right way, do I just flash it without erasing those files? Also is it realy necessary to flash the latest DR or will my old version do?
I'm on stock KitKat 4.4.4 build 14.4.A.0.118 on a c6833 with LB.
I would also love it if you could recommend the most stable Nougat or MM 6.0.1 rom, I know there's AOSP Nougat, DU and maybe RR for 6.0.1? What would you flash for a daily driver, I don't care about the camera much, but if Wi-Fi and phone radio are working normally, that should do it for me, thanks in advance to anyone that can give me a hand with this.

Awesome, just when I thought no one was gonna answer, so what do u think I should do to get DR back? Do I erase those files and reinstall or just reinstall? My OS is so unstable I'm afraid anything will brick my XZU. Do you need me to provide extra info?

Have you tried to Unlock the bootloader, flash the recovery and root and relock it?
By any chance have you been on official 5.1.1?
No I've never been on any stock LP be it 5.0.2 or 5.1.1, so does it matter if I erase the files in the following howto before reinstalling DR?
How to remove DR:
Delete the following files:
/system/bin/recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma (or .tar)
/system/bin/recovery.cwm.cpio.lzma (or .tar)
/system/bin/recovery.philz.cpio.lzma
/system/bin/charger
/system/bin/dualrecovery.sh
/system/bin/mr
Also is it better to unlock the bootloader first? I don't want relock it afterwards since I want to flash DU or AOSP Nougat, or RR M and have a recovery.
I read a lot of the forums all the time but I'm still pretty much a noob at this, up until now rooted Kitkat is all I've needed, sorry if I'm asking too much.
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
OK so I've been reading, are you suggesting that I unlock the bootloader so when I install DR it stores the recovery on the FOTA kernel partition, instead of /system, so i won't lose DR next time?
I guess that's what I've been looking for if so, last question, is DR compatible with Android M or N roms?
I'm sorry if it's a dumb question, I'm still a noob, hehe.

I could be wrong but it sounds like you wanna be on a cm or asap rom with DR.
If you plan to use any of those roms, yes unlock the bootloader. From this point you should be able to install DR on top of the current recovery, as long as you've had any type of recovery you can flash with an app. Rashr, twrp manager etc.
I've UB now, do I need the new bootloader? Do I get it if I go directly from my Stock KK to RR Lollipop rom? Can I go directly from stock KK to RR Lollipop without bricking it?
Sorry if I'm asking to much but I'm just trying to make sure I don't end up with a bricked phone.

Can anyone help please?
So I've managed to get DR working again flashed RR Lollipop but now my phone doesn't see my external SDcard, what should I do?, I've read the whole RR L thread down to the last message but the only solution I've found which is to correctly uninstall Nut's DR doesn't work for me since there's no such files in /system/bin

I believe no. I I'm not to familiar on the new bootloader. Prob have to ask one of the rom devs, but im pretty sure you just need twrp 3.0
Thanks RealityFails, you've been of such help, I did learn from your posts, I flashed DR then RR LL rom then with twrp app and flasher I got my recovery for non-stock since I read somewhere that Nut's DR doesn't work with custom roms.
I'm now trying to learn how to read android's logs to see what's up with this ROM not reading my external SDcard, when I go to storage unmount it then mount again, it reads for a few seconds then it's gone, whatever man! he he crazy rom, otherwise is awesome, and everything else works. If I'm not able to fix the SDcard access do you recommend any other LL rom similar to RR?
Anyhow many thanks for helping this Z Ultra stay unbricked, updated and with a decent recovery.

Hello guys,
I am currently on LOS and planning to go back to stock ROM.
LOS was flashed over the downgraded firmware necessary to unlock the bootloader.
Would it be advisable to flash the latest stock over it or should I rather go back to the downgraded ROM and upgrade it through OTAs? Are there any partitions flashed through OTA that would be otherwise missed by TWRP?
Also, can anyone recommend a debloated, optimized Android 8 ROM for this phone?
Thank you for your time!

There are TWRP flashable zips you can use.
See the H930 KDZ thread for instructions on how to flash them.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/h930-lg-v30-european-market-h930-t3779076
Be sure to use the stable TWRP linked in the WTF thread, not the new beta experimental TWRP listed elsewhere.

Quick question please, are the ROMs in your thread upgradable through ota should LG release one?
I noticed you mentioned after each build that they're not meant to be upgraded.
I may have a case of the stupids here but does it mean that once you flash one of them you're stuck on that version?
PS thanks a lot for taking the time to answer these questions. I appreciate your help a lot ^^
