can i flash that kdz with flash tool?

i don't give a f$$k about root at this moment , if it's only problem..

anyway i think iroot would still work , because it works on sprints g2 which got update 1 week ago or so ..

EDIT:

KDZ with flash tool , doesn't work for me
[Verizon LG G2] deathsquad737:
I will im running stock 10b on my vs980 i dont plan on rooting till my upgrade

I just never used a bin file but im allright with adb i would just need command instruction

WHATSAMATTA U ALUMNI
[Verizon LG G2] jkjambo:
instructions is on first page , however it doesn't works for me . i'm getting error : "system update failed"

and i'm pretty sure it will not work for you , because you must be on 24A. this file is to update 24A to 25A
[Verizon LG G2] deathsquad737:
im ota n as we speak to 24a
[Verizon LG G2] jkjambo:
then follow instruction on first page. but you need root

You can't flash the kdz file 25a cuz it isn't a kdz file. It's a bin file.

25A CONFIRMED BOOT! It's working! Root is intact as well. Will see if root survives a factory reset and then I'll try autorec.

WHATSAMATTA U ALUMNI
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
Ok guys, I'm now on 25a with root, dr87's latest twrp as well as xcam, let me tell you what I did. Pre starting the process I was on an aosp rom, so I used the kdz flash tool to flash the 24a kdz. EVEN IF YOU ARE ON STOCK YOU SHOULD DO THIS WITH THE CSE MODE. Next I used IOROOT to get root and downloaded supersu from the playstore. I launched supersu and updated the binary, rebooted and was good to go. The next step is to take the .bin file of 25a you downloaded and rename it to dlpkgfile, from then on it's identical to the process stated in the op here. After you've booted into 25a you will still have root (I did a factory reset as well and still had root) so the next step is to get your custom recovery. I used cloudyfa's autorec to get my recovery and then immediately used dr87's flashable zip updated recovery. AFTER USING AUTOREC FLASH DR87'S RECOVERY IMMEDIATELY, OLD RECOVERIES FRY SCREENS. Then I downloaded the xcam binary for g2 and installed it in twrp and finally I installed the xcam apk. And done. You have 25a with root, custom recovery and xcam. Now to the next issue, the update doesn't have knock code. I checked videos to make sure on where knock code should be in settings, it's not there. We still don't have full screen album art on the lockscreen either. I have no idea what this update even changed to be honest, I would imagine it's almost purely modem and kernel updates as nothing has visibly changed other than a larger suite of included google apps and the fact they are in a folder in the launcher.
[Verizon LG G2] Enter The Nexus:

[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:

I'm thinking the update may have patched towel root (a reason for it to exist) but I can't test it as I'm pre rooted and don't feel like unrooting.

[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
Ok guys, I'm gonna try the supersu full unroot and check towelroot. I'm not scared because autorec has a download mode fix included. If it doesn't work I can just kdz back to 24a and go from there.

Wow, SuperSU full unroot starts the loading circle and never stops. I reboot and according to root checker it's still rooted. This is the first time someone's ever had problems UNROOTING lol!

I read in the thread below about how even after flashing a kdz, rooted status still shows. Could it be the case with your situation?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51581200
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
Nah, I still had root after flashing the .bin update (which was a good thing) the problem is now the built in full unroot feature of supersu isn't working. So I have no way of checking if they blocked towelroot. Really it doesn't matter though since people can always use download mode to go back to 24a, get root then ota the update when it's out.
[Verizon LG G2] simon_lefisch:
Gotcha. So what version of Android is it? 4.4.4 or 4.4.2? If the latter, I wonder what that update would be for?
[Verizon LG G2] Enter The Nexus:
4.4.2...
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
Yup, so while I can't test I have to assume the update was only to fix towelroot, although the baseband is a new version (presumably improved) and while I can't check since the kernel name is EXTREMELY generic (only lists linux kernel version which is 3.40) I'd imagine there are kernel improvements as well.
[Verizon LG G2] jkjambo:
anyone will tell me how the f#$ can i push that file in /cache/fota?

You used the bin file from the op, we're using a new .bin file which is here https://pvzwmdmcdn.vzw.motive.com/firmware/LG_VS980_24A_TO_25A.bin

---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------

That was my experience as well, I got permission denied likely because we were pushing the file to somewhere outside the sdcard, problem is I don't know how to activate su without going into an adb shell, so I just moved it to my sdcard then copied it over using root explorer from the play store.

Edit: Ok, this is really weird but your kernel is different from mine, I don't have those extra numbers in the middle, I just have 3.4.0-perf lge@android-build. Could it be because I did a factory reset right after the update?

Does up date really differ from 24a not really:what: i just noticed after doing factory data reset those #'s in my kernel are gone

WHATSAMATTA U ALUMNI
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
Yeah, that's what happened to me, factory reset took out the other numbers. Also I rooted using ioroot in 24a and root was sustained to 25a so I'd imagine it only works (the full unroot) if the initial root was done in a supersu fashion

How u get 24 installed?

---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ----------

Got it working. Had to set write permissions to the recovery folder, command, and dlpkgfile! :)
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
So you started with nonrooted 24A, rooted it with IOROOT25, then took the OTA to 26A, and it kept root? Huh, very interesting !!!

Maybe where I went wrong was that I was already rooted on Liquid AOSP with TWRP 2.8.0.1, nandroided back 25B stock rooted with TWRP 2.8.0.1, and then took the 26A OTA which then made me stuck in TWRP 2.8.0.1. I had to be rescued by JackpotClavin when he pointed me towards 2 phone-saving dd commands that got me out of the TWRP bootloop and allowed me to KDZ back to nonroot 24A.

So we basically have 3 choices now:

1) Wait for XDABBEB to make 26A bootstack (I know he can't resists :D)

2) KDZ to 24A nonroot, IOROOTED, take the OTA to 26A which should keep root. Then AutoRec to get TWRP 2.7.0.0 after on 26A rooted?

3) Be happy with 25B as 26A is minor update

I think I'll wait for choice 1 as I thought I lost my 2 day old, refurbed G2 (warrantied after the black lines from PA 4.6 beta2) :D

I also think the key is NOT to take any OTA once you've AutoRec to TWRP recovery as it can cause TWRP bootloop. Root will let you OTA safely but not TWRP as it interupt stock recovery with TWRP recovery.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Well that would explain it, you can't take an ota with a custom recovery.

Sent from my Vs980 running Deviant Xone
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
vzw hasn't removed stock recovery yet, so the latest io root method still work fine.
[Verizon LG G2] njstein:
Just for clarification, if I take the latest ota, ioroot25 will still root it? That would be awesome!
[Verizon LG G2] jonstrong:
I'm still on the 24A from the front of this thread, and guessing I must have modified something that's causing the update to cough up the 0X1111004 error.

Phone is rooted, I uninstalled xposed framework, unfroze all the Verizon apps (ugh) -- except I believe I actually uninstalled one of them at some point (silly me - should have saved notes somewhere, or just frozen it). I uninstalled busybox -- no idea if that matters, but can always put it back. Only other change I can think of is the xdabbeb's 3.0 camera (never installed updates since then). I ran the apk again and ran a "restore" to get back the stock camera -- no errors, and hopefully I didn't overwrite my original backup with a copy of the modded files (how can I tell?) -- I'm guessing this may be causing the error though:

If I go into system\cache\fota\log I can see a file called, "FSUA_LOG_000.txt". Near the bottom of this (huge) file, I see:

FOTASF_Open/system/lib/hw/camera.msm8974.so, handle : 7

FOTA_GetFileSize : 7

[LGFOTA_GetFileSize : /system/lib/hw/camera.msm8974.so, 1913672

LGFOTA_CloseFile : /system/lib/hw/camera.msm8974.so

FOTAFS_Close 7

UpdateAPi_Update Restult - 1111004​

There's more below this, but my interpretation of this is that the install checked the file size on this camera file, didn't like it, set the error return code to 1111004 and proceeded to exit the installation. This leads me to believe that this file is the culprit.

Can anyone share any intel on this? Also - if this is the issue, and anyone can share copies of the correct file(s) to restore the camera back to stock, that would be great. BTW: I'm looking at the camera file on the phone right now. The size is 1913672 bytes. The checksum info is:

File: System (Root)/system/lib/hw/camera.msm8974.so

[Verizon LG G2] jonstrong:
Thanks again! This is still moving forward. Wish I had a list of all files in advance that might need replacing instead of discovering them piecemeal. The libcamera*.* files all passed. Now it's complaining about libmedia.so.

Without knowing the whole list I can't say if it's worth going down this path or if I should bite the bullet and revert to stock. If you don't mind, I'll keep trying these replacement files to see if I can get past the ones the update doesn't like (that libmedia.so file next).

On a side note: now that I have partially replaced camera files, the camera app no longer functions. Hoping that's resolved too after I've gotten all the needed files replaced.

Thx again...and just let me know if this is too much of a bother.

MicroMod has 26A, debloated, rooted, flashable in TWRP, stock rom out now. Even KDZ back to 24A may be easier than trying to reinvent the wheel?
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
Hey guys, I'm going to tell you how to do this with 0 errors. 1. Put all your photos/app data/anything from your phone onto your desktop or wherever you want to back it up. You're gonna lose everything. 2. Kdz flash to 24a 3. Ioroot on 24a (you MUST do this on 24a, from 24a it will ota you straight to 26a, no 25x in-between) 4. Take the update to 26a. You will now have preserved root and be on 26a. Note supersu may go away (or ioroot doesn't install it anymore, I'm not sure), just install it on the play store and now you have fully rooted 26a. 5. Once you have supersu use autorec. 6. Flash the thermally governed twrp 2.8.0.1. here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55278189&postcount=2 And you're done! I have confirmed aosp ROM s work, I'm on 777's PA.

Bummer. I fear the list of modified files may be large then. Take a look at the binary files from the URL below. I suspect you may have flashed these at some point.

[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
Backup your picks and do a clean kdz flash. That'll fix everything related to do with various customizations and edits over time. If other than pictures you also need your app data titanium backup the apps (just user apps, titanium backup of system apps will just bring back a bunch of errors) and you're good to go.
