LG has started rolling out the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update to its last year flagship LG G3. The update is available with the build number 30B for the D855 variant and we are believing that the update for other variants of G3 would be imminent. The Marshmallow update comes with a lot of customization and performance optimizations. LG has tweaked the OS under-the-hood and also put their own custom skin over the stock Android OS.
The G3 users will receive the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update over the air via OTA update. However, if you’re eager to try the Android 6.0 Marshmallow on your device, you can right away download the official KDZ firmware and install it using the LG Flash tool. It is the most convenient way to install Marshmallow on your LG G3. Before proceeding with the procedure, first manually check for an OTA update from software updates section in settings. Go to Settings » About Phone » Software Information/Updates.
If you didn’t see any OTA update listed in the Software updates menu, follow the below tutorial to install Marshmallow KDZ file on LG G3 D855 using the Flash tool.
Prerequisites
- The current Android 6.0 Marshmallow KDZ firmware is compatible with only the international variant of LG G3 with model number D855.
- Install the LG Flash Tool 2014 (extract files if compressed) on your PC. This tool is required in order to flash the KDZ file onto your device.
- Visual C++ Runtime Library is required in order to run LG Flash Tool 2014. If you have any problems installing or running the Flash Tool then install the libraries on your Windows PC. Click here.
- Make sure you have the latest LG drivers installed on your PC. Get it from the download section.
Downloads
Download | LG G3 Marshmallow Firmware (File: D85530B_00_1217.kdz)
Download | LG Flash Tool 2014
Download | LG G3 USB Drivers
Backup Your Apps and Data
Installing the stock firmware using a KDZ file will remove all your data and apps from your current ROM. So make sure you have a backup of all your apps and data. Also, transfer all your files from your internal storage to your PC as it may also get wiped out.
Install Stock Android 6.0 Marshmallow Firmware on LG G3
Here is a step-by-step guide to successfully flash the stock firmware on your LG G3.
- Step 1: Put your phone into Download Mode. To do this, Power Off your phone first. Then while pressing both the volume keys connect your phone to your PC via USB cable. The screen will show the download mode icon. Let the drivers be installed onto PC. If it fails for the first time, repeat the process (try holding just the Volume Up key).
- Step 2: Open the LG Flash Tool 2014 folder and copy the KDZ file in it. If the Flashtool is compressed, extract it to get a folder containing the necessary files including the LGFlashtool2014.exe file. Transfer the D855xxx_00.kdz file, you have just downloaded, into the LG Flash Tool 2014 folder.
- Step 3: Run LGFlashtool2014.exe file.
- Step 4: Now you will have to make a bunch of selections. Select Type: CDMA (Do not worry about selecting this option as Flashtool is modified only for devices with SIM). Change PhoneMode to CS_EMERGENCY. Click the folder icon to browse your computer and select the D855xxx_00.kdz file.
- Step 5: Choose CSE Flash option as we are installing a new copy on the stock firmware. This will format all your application data, format your system and could also wipe your internal storage. It makes a clean install. If you choose this method, it is highly recommended that you backup all your apps and data first. (Normal Flash option should be selected if you are on stock firmware and you just want to upgrade and do not want to lose any data. However, make sure you have not modified your system.)
- Step 6: Once selected, choose Start on next window.
- Step 7: Select your Region and Language and select OK button. Also clear phone for update registry.
Note: Disconnect from the Internet before you choose OK and also make sure your Antivirus is turned off for some time.
- Step 8: Once the program has started, the stock firmware will get installed.
- Step 9: If in case an error occurs, retry from Step 1 until success and remember to disconnect from the Internet when necessary. Once successful, the phone will restart automatically and choose click exit to quit the program.
- Step 10: Once you see the LG Logo, that means you have installed the stock firmware correctly.
Once you boot into stock firmware on your LG G3, you can enjoy your latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow software.

I have a lg g3 d855(france) and i am using it with T-mobile in USA. After almost 2 years without any issues, i started getting a “wifi turning on error” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Crt2UHT_go&ab_channel=Angel_Peguero . I used your guide to upgrade to 6.0 from 5.0(lollipop), which worked fine. But the wifi issue still remains. can you please provide any suggestions?
edit: When i drain the battery out >> then recharge the phone >> then start it >> wifi works fine. but if i setup a google account/gmail it crashes and takes me to the LG logon screen >> after this when the phone finishes booting up the wifi issue is back.
Hello i am going to update Android M via this tutorial but i have the WIFI problem my WIFI isn’t work will it solve after update ?
In many cases, such issues are fixed after installing a new firmware.
Thank you, great guide – worked perfectly!

Hi Rakesh,
I updated my lg g3 and everything is good, but since updating the mobile keeps deducting 18 cents programmatically and on every boot!!
I installed few programs only and format it many times and contacted my network operater but still.
Please help me if you have any clarification.
Sounds weird! I have no idea about that. On mine, I didn’t notice any such thing. Try disabling the bloat apps from Settings> Apps.

i have done all the steps and my phone restarts all the time. It opens then shows the android icon for a sec then restarts again and does the same thing. What happened? I also try to do it again but the download mode does not open
This works fine, thanks! Some people said that it did not work on windows 10, so I used the LG update tool with its compability mode set to Window 8 and didn’t had any problems upgrading.
Did u flash it on 16gb variant or 32gb
You forgot one extremely important step before all of these, so i’m going to tell everyone:
Install LG Mobile Support Tool, before even doing the step 1 listed above. Or else, when you get to step 7, both the phone and the lg flash tool will crash.
Installing the LG Mobile Support Tool is not compulsory. It works fine anyways. I have flashed my G2 and G3 several times.
This works fine. The important part of your article which is “Disconnect from the Internet before you choose OK” caught me napping
because you get an error message quite soon about “cannot connect to the internet – and you must try again later” then it occurred to me that I was connected to the internet and at first it confused me.
So the flash tool is probably trying to connect to something it does not really need and if it does not find it it stops…
Any way I disconnected the USB cable despite been told not to…removed the battery and then started all over again, this time turning the internet OFF ONLY AFTER you select the language.
This works well and the other thing is the flash tool hangs at 99% but by then the phone is already booting into Marshmallow and you can just disconnect the USB cable and close the flash tool.
Thank you.
what are the differences between DIAG Mode and CS_EMERGENCY Mode when i am trying to install a new firmware
Thanks man! after a lot of try, your tutorial works great on windows 8.1 not 10!
how % i must disconnect to internet ? and how do I make disconnect ?
i has the same problem, i try on windows 8.1 instead of 10 and works ok!
so windows 10 is a no no
like 100% it wont work on window 10?
will it mess up my g3 if I tried it?
Well… Doesn’t work for me… Just windows 8.1… On 10 i brick my phone…
well that sucks I only got win10.
my g3 is 4.4.2 should I update it to loli first to get this marshmallow?
Well… I updated to loli first.
hi… is it works on D855P (mobile in PERU.. Grettings)
is it works on D850!!!????
No.
cna u tell me why!!
Because both models are quite different.

Hi. Today I installed this and the option to Format SD card as internal isn’t there. It only allows portable and I can’t move apps to SD
Is it a bug?
Try a hard reset.
Hi Rakesh. Thanks for answering. I did a hard reset and saw no difference. Installed the firmware again with LG Flash Tool and the same. It only allows me to format SD card as internal. What can I do?
Neither LG nor Samsung allow formating SD as internal on MM.
Hello there,
I just installed on lg g3 d855, my camera is not working!!! is there anything which i can do for this issue???
Please help me out
Installed it today, works perfect and clean. No more lags on my LG G3 D855. Thanks alot !
did your mobile connection work?? mine not workin. no sign of H E or even LTE in my signal bar. and no mobile connection running.
Yeah it works perfectly as well. I think your problem has to do with your connection settings which were rebooted once you upgraded your Android. I suggest you turn to you mobile company and see what they can do
yup.. its just need to be reboted. but my smart screen didnt work at all.
i’ve done re booting turn it on and off repeatdly but it still didnt detect face and stay on when reading
I have a UK phone. I found two versions on XDA . An EU and a GLOBAL one. Which one is better for my phone. Thanks
You can install any of them.
LG Flash tool stopped working at 99%, phone is booting normaly in 6.0. Is this a problem?
It’s a common issue with the Flash Tool, but you needn’t worry about it. The installation wa sucesful.
Sir i found a bug..the data icon did not appear when you open the data..how to fix tha bug?..thanks in advance

I am running cloudyg3 2.5. Do i need to revert to stock rom (unrooted?) before flashing?
No need to revert to stock.
Thanks. Flashing this will get me back to stock and untooted?
Yes, obviously.
Can i install this in AT&T Variant of LG G3?
No.
I followed all instructions but still I’m stuck at 19% and it gets back from the start again
Hi. Do I need root access for this update?
Not necessary. On the contrary, it is recommended that you have an unmodified system for a smooth installation
in the phone or in the pc?
Flash tool should be installed on the PC to push the update to your device
I also have checked the Quick circle case and it’s cool with the new changes.
Thank You, Installed it and it is working
Great to know
