From what I remember, the password requirement is dependent on your Exchange server, not the phone. I'm using the stock email client and connecting to my company Exchange server and they don't require a screen lock. You still have to sign over authority to remote wipe your phone via Exchange though. Talk to your IT dept.

I've had just about enough of AOSP roms and the GPS and network issues I've been having. Going to install this in hopes that it'll fix the issues I've been having. I'll miss a lot of features like a 3G/LTE toggle, but oh well.
[Verizon LG G2] rfarrah:
I keep looking a the other ROMs, trying to find one that has everything I have now, PLUS something really interesting or cool that I HAVE to have. Also to satisfy the fun of flashing and trying new ROMs. But I'm still here - just doesn't seem worth the hassle for what is out there. No disrespect intended. A LOT of people are enjoying those other ROMS - just saying that I'm happy, and rather amazed that I'm happy with a stock ROM. Very unusual. :D
[Verizon LG G2] ars0n:
I have had your troubles...

What I do, been through two g2's..

As soon as I get the phone, download GPS status, open it up, dont touch a thing and wait to get a gps lock *GO OUTSIDE FOR GOOD LOCK*. Once you have the lock, ROOT, Install recovery, do whatever you want to do.If you are on 12b I recommend downgrading.. then root, recovery...etc..

Ive been through an ass load of roms and carbon is my daily driver. Everything works. get a sod once and a while but not big deal.. and by once n a while I mean like once a week..

all is good now.. just waiting for verizon to get that new rom out =D
[Verizon LG G2] Adauth:
If I dirty flah will i lose all my apps, data and settings? If so how to restore them? Sorry if this is a noob question. I have already flashed the 12B radio. Also if something goes wrong can i just flash my backup with CWM and go back to the previous settings? Thanks advance for the help.
[Verizon LG G2] scram99:
You won't lose any apps or app data dirty flashing. I'd suggest wiping cache and dalvic cache though which won't cause you to lose apps either... if you've got a back up, which you absolutely should, it can be restored if something were to go wrong.
[Verizon LG G2] Adauth:
Thanks man! Gonna give it a shot right now. Ill report back with the results.
[Verizon LG G2] leyvatron:
Get a stock Rom and down GPS toolbox... turn on GPS and run the app, when the satellites lock turn off and go into recovery... flash your aosp rom and GPS will work on any Rom. All these steps sound weird, but it works.
[Verizon LG G2] GohanBurner:
I backed up the EFS from the stock rom and when I flash it over an AOSP rom I get GPS back. However, it doesn't work for 3G. I'm constantly roaming in 3G on all AOSP roms lately.

I understand this is 12B Baseband...but does this also come with the 12b radios? Im using this as a bridge to 24A
[Verizon LG G2] pwshadow:
I think you have to flash the radio separately. Also going this does not give you the 12b aboot which is required for 24a. The only way to get it is to use that tot/ kdz method to get back to stock.
[Verizon LG G2] bsems1000:
aghh.. theres so many variations floating around on here. I need to find the right file.
[Verizon LG G2] crazysoccerman:
can i downgrade from 24a to this with a dirty flash and the 12b modem .zip?

i previously had this rom then flashed a rooted 24a ota from here with the 24a baseband and some other .zip i needed to upgrade to 24a.

im worried that the other .zip i had to flash will interfere with this

thanks for your help
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
You can, I was on digital dream 2.1 last night. But even after flashing the 12b radio, rotation wasn't working.

Of you mess with it you might be able to get rotation fixed. I don't use rotation, so I didn't care enough to dig into it.

Full wipe, flash 12b radio, flash ROM, and it will boot up even on the 24a bootstack.

I couldn't get a successful boot.

Edit: Full wipe (which includes system) wouldnt boot. Standard TWRP wipe resulted in a successful boot. However I have the same auto rotate problem. It doesnt work - any ideas why? The phone doesnt even recgonize the accelerometer. It seems like I may have to use the lg tool to successfuly downgrade.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
You stuck on 24a base now unless you to a .tot restore. Why not stick with kitkat?

Flash player is why I want to go back to jelly bean. It's extremely finicky on kitkat. Its bothersome enough for me that I will do whatever it takes to go back.

Can I use the KDZ method or do I have to use the .tot? The KDZ method has more recent images.

One more question, if I accept the verizon update on 11b (the latest .tot image available) will it update to jelly bean or go straight to kitkat?

Thanks for your help.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
You should be able to find the 12b kdz and tot if you search for it.

I can't remember what site it was, but they had both. 12b being the last ota on 4.2

That's what I've found. The KDZ method has the 12b file I'm looking for. TOT's latest is 11a. Will either method work? If so, I will use the KDZ method. I'm just not sure if I went with 11a that verizon OTA wouldn't directly update me to 24a.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Yeah it should. I've never used a kdz, but I've used the tot file in conjunction with the lg flash tool to go back to 10b and 11a

Make sure your lg universal drivers are up to date, and put the phone in download mode. (Reboot w/Volume up and power while USB is connected to the computer) then open the tool.

There's a thread for it in the original android section of you're not familiar with it. Its the "stuck after taking an ota" thread

I used the .tot method then took two or three OTAs to get back to 12b. Rooted and installed TWRP. I have fully functioning flash and auto-rotate - it's glorious.

For future reference, once you upgrade to KitKat you can only get back to fully functioning Jelly Bean by the back to stock method. Otherwise you can still boot into jellybean, but the accelerometer won't be recgonized, which means no auto-rotate.

Thanks. This worked. Upgraded from VS98011A. Prior to upgrade, I did a backup via TWRP v2.6.3.3, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache. After the upgrade to 12B, I upgraded the radio.

Guess I'm asking if it's safe to flash your 11a rom and the older modem, then I could flash the latest twrp workout problems and keep all my data?

Hi, I'm coming from stock, rooted 11A with TWRP. Is a full wipe prior to install needed? I have a bunch of mods and I'd hate for a dirty flash to interfere with them.

Also, regarding new 12B radios, can I flash them at the same time as the ROM in TWRP or should I do them separately (meaning flash ROM, reboot system, go back to recovery, flash radio, and reboot system again).

Thanks for the work here.
[Verizon LG G2] rfarrah:
I just did a dirty flash and everything seemed to come out fine. If you're using some exposed mods, you may need to update the framework, and then restart for them to come back. I had already flashed the 12B modem so it was still there when I flashed this update. Good luck!

Flashed sucessfully but now Hotspot is borked

I dirty flashed this on my rooted stock 11A and successfully updated the radio. My only problem is that now my paid Verizon Hotspot feature is no longer working, and I cannot tether any more. I'm wondering if anyone can help me sort this problem out.

When I go to Settings and select Tethering & networks, and then tun on Mobile Hotspot, the Provision screen flashes on for just a second and disappears, and then the Mobile Hotspot selector show blue for "on", but no signal is tethered. I never do see the Verizon Mobile Hotspot screen. If I select Help, and then select Mobile Hotspot Help, I get an "Unfortunately, Settings Stopped" sign.

In researching the problem, I see in Titanium that the program Mobile Hotspot 1.0 has been deleted. If I restore it, it does not change the results above when I turn on Mobile Hotspot in the Settings. However, the app does now show up in the app drawer, but when I select it, I get the screen: "Unfortunately, com.lge.mobilehotspot.ui has stopped."

Any suggestions on how I may go about fixing this problem so that I can tether again? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I restored the TWRP nandroid and Hotspot is working again. I will start this process over again and report as to wether the problem reappears. Thanks to all.
[Verizon LG G2] Katmeat:
Something about this upgrade process does not agree with my phone. I painstakingly went through the process again of flashing this ROM over my stock 11a ROM after first wiping dalvik, cache and system, and once again ran into the same problems with the loss of the Verizon hotspot feature. I tried everything again to get the hotspot working, with no success, including flashing the hotspot update. To be fair, I also tried flashing the other posted 12B stock ROM (debloated), and the exact same thing happened. Apparently something to do with the hotspot hack causes the removal of the Verizon hotspot application, with nothing effective replacing it.

I will have to stick with 11a until I can figure out a workaround for this hotspot problem, as tethering my Gpad to my G2 is essential. I am certainly not married to the Verizon hotspot APK, as they frustratingly block the Gpair feature that would otherwise automatically tether my Gpad to my phone, even though I cough up an extra $30 on top of my unlimited data for the tether feature. But so far, I have not heard of an alternate working tether program that would serve as a suitable replacement for the Verizon hotspot program.

Thanks again to all those who offered assistance, and I remain open to suggestions.
[Verizon LG G2] Rodeojones:
Just wanted to mention that modded hotspot provision apk isn't working for me either. Hopefully a fix is developed soon, but I'll live without the ability to tether for a while if need be.
[Verizon LG G2] rfarrah:
FWIW, I did a dirty flash over the stock 11A (modified by me via xposed) version. The stock tethering app even kept the SSID & password that I had changed. No problem at all using it. It does do a funky little blink thing about provisioning, and I did have to turn it back on once at startup, but after that, no problems..... yet.
