[Verizon LG G2] tacosrdelicioso:
I tried that. Just rebooted to recovery after that. It did nothing so I rebooted
[Verizon LG G2] jrgilbert79:
So your on 4.4.2? I really hope so. Even if this is a pre release all we need is to extract the radio and someone with magical wizard powers can make a g pro 2 port ?
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
I'm on cm11. I've just been doing some research into our issue.

---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------

What did you do exactly? Did you also follow my last bit?
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Anybody try this yet?? Can't get my G2 to turn on anymore!!!! :crying:
[Verizon LG G2] RandomGuy982:
The install starts for a split second, but then goes back to the android with the red exclamation point. I have tried putting the file in cache and cache/fota. I'm going to try to do it without removing .bin
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
And you changed permissions? You try making that command file?
[Verizon LG G2] RandomGuy982:
I did not change permissions. I will try that then try leaving bin on the file name next.
[Verizon LG G2] tacosrdelicioso:
I made the command file and c changed permissions. Rebooted into recovery everything should've been set but nothing happened
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
Can you see if a log file was generated in /cache/recovery?
[Verizon LG G2] 1heffer:
You guys are crazy...... Aaaaaaaaand awesome!

Sorry about your phone micromod. Way to take one for the team.
[Verizon LG G2] RandomGuy982:
I am guessing so. It is dated July 29, 1970 though. What do you need from it?
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
I'm curious as to what it says in regards to why the update failed
[Verizon LG G2] RandomGuy982:
This is the I only error I see.
[Verizon LG G2] RandomGuy982:
....and here is the correct error when I type the correct command....
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
Would it be possible for you to pull the entire file and upload it? Or PM me a link if possible

Edit: nvm, saw your second post
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
Was that because of the space in the command file?
[Verizon LG G2] RandomGuy982:
That and I didn't type the = either.
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
I'm sure everyone knows this, but I feel obligated to mention (as I did not know last night) that when you have a fota queued to update your phone, download mode is not accessible. I learned that last night and just confirmed it a few minutes ago. As a result, I hardbricked a phone last night and am now on my 3rd G2 for the week... lesson learned lol.

Changing name to shattered screen brick phone guy I guess.

Back on topic, has anyone played with the fota partition when an update is happening? That is what has to get cleared for someone to get out of a recovery bootloop when they accidentally take an update on a custom recovery. I have no idea how to view it but I pulled for both the 10-11 update and the 11-12 update.

Edit: nvm. Just saw the error RandomGuy is getting.
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
Where is your update file exactly? Remember to keep the path correct in the command file.
[Verizon LG G2] RandomGuy982:
I put it in the path in the command file. /cache/
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
Is it supposed to be there or /cache/fota?
[Verizon LG G2] RandomGuy982:
I have tried both
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
Are you unrooted and on stock recovery?

---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ----------

Last suggestion from me tonight... Could you try re downloading the original bin file and trying again with that? Sometimes the sig verification issue is from a corrupt dl. Remember to get rid of the .bin and change permissions lol
[Verizon LG G2] RandomGuy982:
I am rooted on stock 12B. Do I need to unroot with Voodoo?
[Verizon LG G2] jrgilbert79:
I don't think so. But it can't hurt.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
U can do update n be rooted.
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
Currently updating....at 36%. Will let everyone know how it goes.

EDIT: Step 2/2...at 40%. Slow but still going.

EDIT2: OK. It worked. I think I might want to go through the whole process again to determine exactly what steps were necessary, however, b/c I kind of threw everything at it at once on my last try. It may have to wait for morning, though, as it's 2:30am here and I'm a little faced.

[Verizon LG G2] ricecake2000:
If my friends s3 gets kk before me I'm selling this and going n5 lol.
[Verizon LG G2] incubus2:
What are you using to get these results if I might ask? I get around 5 to 6 hours now but more is always better :)
[Verizon LG G2] BreakingVZW:
Nothing too odd. Autobrightness at 55%. When I stop using an app I home button hold task manager and close the app. I make sure my screen is off when I listen to music. I've frozen a lot of apps I don't use. Basically google play everything but play store is frozen. Almost all verizon apps are frozen. I try to use WiFi any chance I get. That's about it.
[Verizon LG G2] Fuzedmind732:
Just a thought, do you guys think this release will fix many of the issues we are seeing with custom 4.4 ROMs (Like GPS locking issues, etc.) because the devs will now have access to the official methods?

Most of the 4.4 ROMs I have tried do not have efficient GPS locking.
[Verizon LG G2] incubus2:
I hope it does help gps but maybe it's just poor hardware for us unlucky ones
[Verizon LG G2] Mattecko99:
Eh I get around 1-3 bars in my dorm.
[Verizon LG G2] BreakingVZW:
Also Facebook owns my battery. I always go into task manager and close it bc it constantly runs in the background for push notifications.
[Verizon LG G2] Mattecko99:
I don't think Facebook eats it up that much. It's mostly off. I can Uninstall it and see what happens.
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
Probably only the one person who got it to work lol. I'm curious if I was far off the mark, not that I knew what I was doing lol.

I can't wait for the guide (awesome job man), the extracted bits for the devs (please do that before you mess around too much), and if you can downgrade. Also if rooting was possible to do or preserve.
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
Well that's a lovely sight!!! Congrats, you're the chosen one. If hate to ask too much of you, but if possible, could you manage to dump a few directories in /system? Not the entire 2 gigs, it should only be a like 200 megs total
[Verizon LG G2] bonesjones:
Happy birthday to me! I knew someone would get it! Hell yeah dude!!
[Verizon LG G2] player911:
Nice job!

Question is, are you rooted still or have a custom recovery? Can you go back to 4.2.2?

Great job xdadeb!

Happy bday bones!
[Verizon LG G2] Sergykm:
Great job, man! we're all waiting for update guide!:good:

[Verizon LG G2] Rodeojones:
Fell asleep last night trying to get caught up on this thread - I was on page 68. Woke up to find that it's been figured out. How exciting.

Great job to all who kept at it despite the possibility of bricking your phone. Thanks.
[Verizon LG G2] jrgilbert79:
[MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] I take back anything I ever said about not deodexing that hidden menu. Great job brotatoe your the man!

Awesome. I just woke up and got a pm saying this was installed. I'll change title to installed by one person lol.
[Verizon LG G2] icebergz12:
Hella exciting news! Great job [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION]
[Verizon LG G2] player911:
Do it! Lmao.

And good morning.

He flashed it late last night. He's going to flash back to 4.2.2 and write up a guide for us today.

So it's pretty much done. I'd at least change the title to "24A OTA Captured and Flashed".

We just need to hack XDAs Cerberus Account so we can alert his phone and wake him up. Any takers?
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
Ok I changed it to that but shorter a little So it can all show up
[Verizon LG G2] RandomGuy982:
I could never get it past the signature verification failed. Can you post the md5 hash of the file that you completed the install with? I had 5 downloaded files, and only 2 hashes matched :eek:
[Verizon LG G2] player911:
Once XDADEB wakes up, he'll write up a guide and upload files.
[Verizon LG G2] skay:
Congrats on Kitkat success!

Many thanks to all who helped get this update installed, special thanks to xdadeb for the touchdown! Can't wait for the guide.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
Well I'm about to go to work in half an hour . It would be awesome to come home to a guide :p haha

And [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] when you wake up can you tell us is knock code included because I saw that the Canada firmwares got it.

Also does this mean we can get a g pro 2 Rom ported for vzw and get the issues with aosp Roms fixed soon?
[Verizon LG G2] jrgilbert79:
I'd rather have the dump to the devs than a guide to stock with no custom recovery please get jackpot the files first.

VS980 - CM11 nightly
[Verizon LG G2] agentfusion:
I'm just hoping that someone can patch this for the LS980. I'm dying for 4k video recording and all of the improvements made in 4.3.1 and 4.4.2. I think it's silly that this amazing flagship phone that's pretty much a nexus 5 with a few extra bells and whistles is taking anywhere near this long.

The upside is, LG released the source code which means someone can look over the kernel source and use it to figure out a way to fix things like the launcher lag in furnace so we can have a flawless kernel for battery life improvements.
[Verizon LG G2] Rodeojones:
I'm assuming that for those of us who are rooted with a custom recovery (once a guide is published) we'll need to go back to stock 12B, or earlier, for this to work. Correct? That our wait for a stock, rooted ROM that can be flashed in recovery - if we'll ever get there.
[Verizon LG G2] tacosrdelicioso:
What was the correct command for the command file again?
[Verizon LG G2] RandomGuy982:
--update_package=/"file location"
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
Keep in mind that we have no idea if that's the correct method. It did start the update process, but really we don't know anything past that
[Verizon LG G2] tacosrdelicioso:
Yeah. I have it all set permissions and everything. I reboot it into recovery and all I get is exclamation point. Ugg
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
Exactly lol. We made it to beginning the ota process but that was it. X was probably at that point before he went out, but he didn't share before he left. I'm not really sure where to go from there.
[Verizon LG G2] tacosrdelicioso:
I have officially boarded the struggle bus
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
Hey guys. I'm up, but desperately need coffee and something greasy to eat first.

[MENTION=3727492]JackpotClavin[/MENTION] I'll get dumps of system, boot, tz, rpm, and modem. If you want a few specific dirs from system send me a pm.

[MENTION=2640499]koftheworld[/MENTION] yep, that was where i was stuck before I went out. I'll definitely write up a guide after I revert and go through the process again. Do you guys want it in here or a new thread?
[Verizon LG G2] tacosrdelicioso:
Hey! I vote new thread for ease
[Verizon LG G2] bonesjones:
New
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
Hey! I'm not sure if you can get dumps of boot, tz, rpm, and modem without having root though... were you able to maintain root??
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
You definitely have to do new.

That's what I figured man. It's got to be something so silly, but I never made the time to revert to stock and try. I was just surfing around for answers.
[Verizon LG G2] bonesjones:
Can we start rubbing this into Samsung users faces now? :)
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
There ya go. Any ideas? To me it's just an addition to the command file I think.
[Verizon LG G2] RandomGuy982:
That's what I was thinking. Something to bypass signature verification.
[Verizon LG G2] tacosrdelicioso:
Or maybe some key file in /res
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
Oh, yes, forgot to answer those that asked. Yes, I still have root and have just started to dd everything. I had modified many framework and system files on my JB rom so I went back to a fresh 12b first and rooted then.
[Verizon LG G2] RandomGuy982:
The suspense is killing me :silly:
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
Oh wow, that's better than I would have asked for. If we can replicate the process with your guide, then I should be able to do it myself, no need upload 2+ gigs :)
[Verizon LG G2] jamminjon82:
Will you post your new thread in this forum or android development?
[Verizon LG G2] player911:
Awesomesauce. I vote New, but post a link from here. Maybe update the OP with new link.
[Verizon LG G2] bsems1000:
ALright now, I think I followed the past few pages correctly... someone has the Stock KK OTA for the VS980?

What are we working on now? Shouldnt that be sufficient for users to wipe/flash? Or are you tweaking it already and making it barebones/custom?:confused::confused:
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
X has figured out how to use the found .bin Kk ota to update from stock 12b. He is currently writing up his procedure for sharing.
[Verizon LG G2] RandomGuy982:
We have the update file, but only xdabbeb has flashed it successfully so far. We are awaiting instructions. Somebody had a good time last night, and needs a bloody mary and grease on the stomach. We will all be enjoying it soon enough!
[Verizon LG G2] bsems1000:
Sounds good to me! Ive been getting frustrated with my CM builds and AOSP roms.. random reboots. Was up here downloading hte Malladus Rom to try that and see how stable it is.. and then saw THIS news. :good::good::good::good:

EDIT: Guess I'm going to hold off on Flashing Malladus... :)
[Verizon LG G2] Swamphound:
Let's hear it for status elevation for xdabbeb!

[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
I have the partition images so I'm going to revert to 12b again and verify exactly which steps I took were necessary. Sorry to be particular about that, but I like to be precise and I was a little drinky when I did it last night.

I'll start uploading the images as well
[Verizon LG G2] bonesjones:
I had a feeling you'd figure it out while drunk. haha
[Verizon LG G2] bsems1000:
Cool.. I'll be back here in a hour or so to check the updated posts on this. If thats enough time
[Verizon LG G2] mistermidas:
Lol it's unorthodox as hell. ..but I'm glad you guys found a way to get your update. I just wish sprint would quit dickin around n push out our update since we know from the lg site the build ifs ready.
[Verizon LG G2] Steamer86:
Funny how that works. ^

You Sprint users have ever more info yet nothing. Verizons test leak, I mean blunder (lol), gave us an update. I'm personally waiting for a usable firmware with recovery.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
I'm sitting here cheering you on from work. Lol. If you make a new thread just post it here and I'll add the link,to op.

Also I had one question. Can you check if knock code is available in. The update? Supposedly Canadians already got it So I was just curious if it was already on the verizon one
[Verizon LG G2] Enter The Nexus:
Just wait to see for yourself. He's working hard to get it for us.
[Verizon LG G2] slagg3r:
Yeah I'm sure we will find out once 3-4 of you get it installed
[Verizon LG G2] 1heffer:
I like to think the first Lumburg meme I posted is responsible for the leak. ;)
[Verizon LG G2] player911:
I'm pretty sure the Canadian KK update did NOT have knock code. They were bummed but saying April.

I gotta admit, I've never owned a carrier phone that had this many updates, especially on Verizon. Even the Galaxy Nexus didn't get this many.
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
No knock code that I've seen. Back to 12b and going through the procedure again to verify. Give me 30 mins or so. I'll post a link to the thread, but I'd guess it should just go in VZW G2 Dev?
[Verizon LG G2] jonstrong:
Really would be nice (as others have observed) if manufacturers like LG (and others) could go increasingly with the idea of release features as user installable apk's. If they are concerned about keeping their feature set close to their own devices, I'm sure they could code these to depend on some unique attribute of the general ROM, framework, etc for the phone, so they only function on the proper device. It could let them add features / value to their phones, and fix bugs, far faster than having to go through the whole QA / validation cycle with the carriers. I'm wondering, for example, if knock code is NOT part of this update and LG releases it in April, how long it will be before Verizon pushes it out to the general G2 community.
[Verizon LG G2] slagg3r:
The article I read 3 days ago that said the Rodgers and bell g2 got knock code updated there articles to say it's not in there. So knowing verizon knock code will come next year
[Verizon LG G2] mjskraju:
And Sprint will also be there & there abouts....:mad:
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
OK...here's the guide
[Verizon LG G2] Jhall8:
Well done! I agree 100% with your warning. One tiny typo in a command line could be disastrous.
[Verizon LG G2] player911:
Once knock code is patched, it'll be distributed here. I'm not real worried about it. Plus its just a patch, not a major OS upgrade. Verizon was only, what, a month or two behind other carriers.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
Thanks allot I added the link to op. I'll be trying this when I get home. Just 50 more minutes
[Verizon LG G2] Bigralphn:
Well hopefully the OTA isn't too far away. I am totally stock. Even though I rooted and highly changed my other devices, I never felt a need to on this. I was so tempted to follow the above.
[Verizon LG G2] Tersanyus:
I hope the official over the air is available soon too. Tempted to do this too buy don't want to chance anything.
[Verizon LG G2] Jhall8:
Same here. It's tempting, but I'm going to wait for the OTA. Just picked up this phone 6 days ago. Best stock ROM of all the phones I've owned.
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
LG Flash Tool

Hey guys, could we take the bin from that thread and just use it in the lg flash tool? Unless the file somehow f s up the download mode you would always be able to go back anyway right? (Note: it very well could f up the download mode, if you're as unsure as I am don't try)

Hey guys, I remembered how one time I tried the kdz method and it kept failing most way through but didn't change my ROM (tot then worked for me) so I tried using that bin file to see if the process would start, it did. I pulled the plug about 30% through just in case and then used the 11a tot, so I can confirm that the bin will START to flash and the text the tool was saying suggested it was detecting everything, modem, system and etc. Now the question is if somewhere along the way in the bin it could mess up download mode, but theoretically it shouldn't affect download mode unless the file is flashing everything else correctly too. I still don't recommend trying though until some of the more savvy guys comment on this yea or nae.
[Verizon LG G2] slagg3r:
I'd like to see some screen shots of what you guys can actually see that has changed
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
Not much visual change besides the white and transparency. Also printing added to settings but it's supposed to be smoother and better on battery. I don't have it yet though
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
Quick Update

Hey guys, I made an empty bin file and put it in the flash tool, seems like the flash tool will say stuff like modem and system no matter what the actual file is. Also for the record the only reason I was trying flash tool is because I don't seem to have the /cache/recovery mentioned in the guide, I installed root explorer to check. I even tried manually creating those folders, process still failed though.
[Verizon LG G2] Enter The Nexus:
Just do the regular method.
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
Read Second Half of Post

As I said in that post, regular method doesn't work for me. The cache/recovery mentioned in one of the adb commands in the guide is not appearing for me.
[Verizon LG G2] Enter The Nexus:
Sorry, I must've missed that. We're working on making a flashable zip or a G Pro 2 port so sit tight til then.
[Verizon LG G2] player911:
You have to create the folder
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
Read Original Post

Tried that, as I said.
[Verizon LG G2] jrgilbert79:
A wise man would install root, Custom recovery, and flash the first kk stock Rom with custom recovery support out. Taking the real ota will make it so you have wipe to get custom recovery later. And by the tone Verizon releases the real deal they could really screw you by unrooting, or making it so you can't flash back potentially. Never trust Verizon...
[Verizon LG G2] Jhall8:
That's good advice, JRGilbert.
[Verizon LG G2] tacosrdelicioso:
You will always be able to flash back. Just saying.
[Verizon LG G2] RandomGuy982:
The second time through I had to use root explorer to create the /cache/recovery folder. Make sure you mount system as rw at the top of the screen in root explorer. If the second command fails, then move HiddenMenu.apk found earlier in the thread to /system/app, then try again.
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
Hey man, just figured that out literally 10 seconds before my phone gave me the email notification w/ this post, thanks though :) Phone is in step 6 installing as I type.

Can anyone upload LG_VS980_12B_TO_24A.bin file to other site, like megaupload or other, because I can't download it from verizon site. The speed is 20-30Kb/s. I have good speed 100Mbs, but I'm from Ukraine. Please upload it to other site. And I cann't post it in main tread, because I have no 10 posts yet. Thank you.
[Verizon LG G2] NyPlaya513:
for some reason I am having a problem with the manual update. I reverted to 11a, took the 12b ota, rooted (no recovery) and all my adb is setup as per usual. I pushed the file to the phone over airdroid and used solid explorer to put it in cache/fota and even did a factory reset prior to this to get the recovery folder to naturally show again. I then perform the update start command which reboots the phone......then it comes up and says software update successful but it just did a natural reboot, no actual software modification.
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
Making a Vid

Hey man, I've seen your posts, later today I'm going to do a step by step guide since we don't have a working flashable ROM yet.
[Verizon LG G2] Bigralphn:
This thread had become unwieldy for those of us just here for updates and notifications on the OTA
