Yea they said that they removed my unlimited data, but I screenshot my transaction thru best buy website and they told me to head to a VZW store ands we what they can do for me. I know the deal. I'm gonna call back and speak to a supervisor tomorrow. But as a decide effect, she put my account on a Verizon Maxx and gave me 6gb. I'm fine with that honestly as I'm usually on WiFi anyway. Plus in the coming days, I'll be moving my line over to a concession line and I can get even more data for WAAAAAAY cheaper. Plus no monthly line access. So my Bill will be like $90 cheaper. I'll take that. Lol. I knew the risk so I really can't be mad. [emoji51]

got it rooted. issue was adb on my laptop. had to start fresh and worked on first try!!! :D

Well I got the phone today, the white one ... for some reason this screen gives me an eye strain ... so I think I will keep my g2 and send this phone back. I don't know why .. its odd ...

Can't Root WTF

Please help.

I have seen a dozen posts with the same problems as mine but my problems wont go away. I can't root. Tried two PCs (win 8 & 7).

Here is what I did:

1. Installed the Verizon USB Drivers from the link in the instructions for IOROOT. V 2.14.1

2. Plugged in USB cable to phone and PC

3. Selected Internet Connection and Ethernet from the USB menu

4. Double clicked on IOROOT.bat

-hangs at "* daemon started successfully"

I also tried installing the "AdbDriverInstaller" from adbdriver . com, but that does absolutely nothing except tell me [Error] Device not found.

What could I be doing wrong??! Help!
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
does adb see your phone? did you get the rsa to a specific pc??
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
Wow I feel really sorry for you and here I thought I was the last one to get shipment that ordered on the 10th. Kinda sad
[Verizon LG G3] Jstlouis1993:
I hope I'm able to enjoy my G3 more than the G2, Expecting it to be a powerhouse and step up from the G2.
[Verizon LG G3] CraiaSoftware:
Are you referring to this in the cmd window?

[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
Yea they did the same thing to me. Its the plan they give people that previously had unlimited. I been waiting since the 10th for them to approve it. Was told its been approved through the lower level but now someone has to add it. Not sure what's taking so long...
[Verizon LG G3] CraiaSoftware:
Ok I got it. I don't know how USB Debugging unchecked itself, but when I rechecked it I was good to go!
[Verizon LG G3] streetpounder:
Well I got a little over exuberant with tweaking and boot looped earlier, but I flashed back to stock and started over. Thankfully I'm back in action now and rooted again. Not gonna lie... Things were tense for a while after the boot loop on day one lol.
[Verizon LG G3] youngpettyboi:
What did u tell them to get it approved? For me, the lady told me it was nothing she could do, then told me to talk to a Verizon representative in a corporate store (like they know what the Hell they're talking about).
[Verizon LG G3] PizzaSauce:
I work for VZ so I don't think that would be a good idea for me

Yeah I asked to talk to whoever she talked to when I went on hold but she said that it had already been resolved and my account remarked. And now that that remark is on there I don't think anyone else I talk to will be able to do anything
[Verizon LG G3] rfarrah:
I Spent ALL afternoon on this. You MUST be running the latest SDK version or you get the "offline" error. Drove me crazy (er).
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
Well my situation probably is different but I added a line(already have 5) and the plan I'm on only allows 5 so it made me change my plan but before I done that I asked an online rep would I be able to keep my plan and keep my unlimited and he told me yes if I activate the phone on a different account when I received it. Sadly that wasn't true it changed my plan but I told them what happened and to check my chat with the rep and she put in an order because they can't manually add it(has to be reviewed and approved). I believe you can request them to put in an order to get your unlimited back. Not sure it will get approved but it's worth a shot :)

---------- Post added at 04:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 AM ----------

Sadly probably not. When they place a remark it's over. Every rep will judge you based on that and give you the same answer lol. I'm not even sure I got the watch either because my box is the same 2 lbs as everyone else's but she did tell me she priced match it for me. I have her email so I know who to contact if I don't receive it. Will report back tomorrow and let you know if I received it or not.
[Verizon LG G3] youngpettyboi:
Yes mine is different. I actually ordered thru best buy and activated myself. Kept the same SIM but I had the error message upon activation so I called the # it told me to call. Called and spoke to the very polite lady and she told me it was on a "switch". Activated and she made a test call. After that, I went thru and set up my phone and was downloading apps and got messages saying I was over my data allowance. So I called and tried to get it corrected and explained my situation. That's where I am now.
[Verizon LG G3] PizzaSauce:
Good luck man
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
Do you have more than one line? If so you could've transferred your upgrade to their line and upgraded while keeping unlimited. That's the only way I know to keep unlimited.
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
I did the transfer, when i activated the g3 on the upgraded line i couldnt switch it to the unlimited. the system said there was an order in process without an activation. called them and said reactivate the note 3 that was on that line originally, went in and reactivated the g3 onto my unlimited line and swapped the sim as the system told me to, you can just swap the sim and it will work granted i don't have an isis wallet sim now but i can always pick one up. My main issue was my one line was in a different location than me so i just couldnt go around swapping sims all day.
[Verizon LG G3] BayRyder:
Just got mine earlier today.:good:
[Verizon LG G3] youngpettyboi:
Pretty much, when I got the phone, I didn't even turn it on. I took the preinstalled SIM out and threw it away and slipped in my old SIM from my G2 and proceeded to activate my G3 in that fashion. Precisely as everyone else has done to keep unlimited. But I got that error and it told me to call.
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
Thats crazy. If you did not upgrade the actual line that has unlimited then you can most likely get it back but only if that line was upgraded directly. Never had a problem just popping in sims. That's what I like about Verizon having lte phones. No more need to call customer care to activate.
[Verizon LG G3] youngpettyboi:
I upgraded that line directly so i could swap SIM cards. I have another line with a dummy phone on it. I used that upgrade to get my G2, and kept my unlimited. This was my first time receiving an error upon activation while swapping SIM cards, I do it all the time without issue!
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
There goes the problem. The correct way to do it was to transfer your upgrade to the dumb phone activate the sim that came with the g3(on the dumb phone) then activate the dumb phone back on the line and pop in your g2 sim. Direct upgrades will make you lose unlimited. Never do that you can transfer and upgrade as much as you like but you can NEVER upgrade the line directly.
[Verizon LG G3] youngpettyboi:
Should I go and refund and get my plan back? Considering I was month to month with an upgrade, then do a cross upgrade?
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
You can. I just comfirmed with a rep that you have 14 days(just like the return policy) to get your plan back however it may have been.
[Verizon LG G3] youngpettyboi:
Oh awesome. Now, considering that I bought it thru best buy, I return it to them? And my plan is returned to previous status?
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
Yes you return it to bestbuy(luckily no restocking fee) but don't think it will go back instantly. They prob would still have to submit your unlimited data for review since its already been removed.
[Verizon LG G3] tom1226:
Quick question: is there anything preventing me from adding a line to my family plan, moving the G3 over to my unlimited line, and then canceling the new line and paying the ETF? Because $99+$350+$35=~$485...which is less than $600 for buying the device outright. Would I need to wait until day 15 to cancel and pay the ETF to keep the G3, or could I just do it that day?
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
Yes you can although add prorated charges in there(still cheaper than outright price). I hear that it's better to cancel after 14 days because they may charge you full price. I would activate the line suspend it without billing then cancel after 14 days.
[Verizon LG G3] tom1226:
Gotcha. Wouldn't suspending the line just show as "day 1" when un-suspended though? I suppose I could just add the line then immediately switch it to a dumbphone...so that my prorated charge would just be based off of the $9.99...

On another front, any idea when Costco will be getting this? Since they usually have some kind of deal/package going. E.g. GS5 is currently $99 plus a $50 mail in rebate...
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
No because after the 14_ days your grace period is up rather the phone line has been used or not which in turns requires a 350 fee to cancel. Not sure about costcos they do usually have good deals but only after the device has been released a week or more at least from my experience.
[Verizon LG G3] tom1226:
Huh cool, good to know. Looks like I'll be suspending away then haha. And yeah, I'd rather Costco get my hundred bucks then Verizon...they get enough of my soul lol
[Verizon LG G3] droidrev71:
Did you get your phone and watch?

---------- Post added at 03:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 AM ----------

Did you get your watch?
[Verizon LG G3] Rado_vr6:
I bet most people forgot the Developer Options.....
[Verizon LG G3] lakingslayer:
So I went to Best Buy last night and they said no bueno on keeping my unlimited data. I cancelled my order. Web site still won't let me do a home delivery. I'm going to try to put another phone in my upgrade and see if that changes it. I just upgraded my daughters line a couple weeks ago using this method (Galaxy Note 3) and it worked.
[Verizon LG G3] youngpettyboi:
I'm not even concerned about the unlimited anymore seeing as how I'll be on WiFi most of the time anyway. Just gotta learn to control my downloading, lol
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
That is the best buy method I thought though? I went direct through VZW and what I had seen was activate on the line upgraded(non-udp), then switch to UDP line and reactivate olf non-udp phone
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
That's the correct way to do it any other way you lose unlimited. You can transfer upgrades on line and then go to a best buy store and upgrade. Their website even has the option.
[Verizon LG G3] IndianaBond:
Where's the menu button?

After a little research, I've found it. On any app you have open, hold the recent button on the nav bar down for 2 secs. By doing this, it opens the menu window for the apps. This, I did not know. Thought I would share for those who didn't know either.
[Verizon LG G3] aku69:
I think my phone is broken! :( I got home and immediately started checking it out, I didn't want to activate it right away and it was fine with me using it in WiFi mode. After 6:00 pm when my work day was over I activated it and all seemed fine, then I got my first phone call and couldn't hear them. I switched to speaker phone and finished the conversation.

So yeah the phones ear speaker seems to not be working, speaker phone or headset both work. But not the phones ear speaker. I thought maybe I hit a button or dissabled something I shouldn't have but I can't find any such thing. Will have to head to Verizon when it opens :(
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
Just received my g3 and can confirmed the g watch was included in the box :)
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
root and use g3 tweaksbox and boom menu button for real!
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
What way is the correct way. I still have unlimited by doing it the way I did.

LINE 1 - UDP

LINE 2 - NON-UDP Smartphone

Transfer Upgrade to line 2

Activate new device on line 2 with new SIM

Swap SIM from line 1 to new device

Reactivate old line 2 device and SIM

---------- Post added at 10:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------

I swapped to ART to test it, but didn't root before the switch argh
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
Yes that is correct way. You transfer the up from the line that has unlimited to the one that doesn't. Upgrade on that line and activate the phone with the Sim that came with the phone. Then you swap Sims(put your unlimited in the new phone) n activate the dumb phone back on the account.
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
I just dropped the SIM from my unlimited RAZR MAXX into the G3, came up fine. VZW still lists my phone number as UNLMTD, shows my phone properly (LG G3).

I bought the phone as an Upgrade against my wife`s line. VZW doesn't seem to care that I then chose to use it on my own line.

The LG G3 SIM is sitting in a baggie. I don't care about NFC, so will likely stay with my current setup, using my prior SIM. Does anyone know of any other reason to use the G3's SIM, if NFC is a non-issue?
[Verizon LG G3] gobztopper:
Did this 2 month ago

Has anyone confirmed this method in the last week? I did the BB way about 2 months ago to get the s5, but sounds like BB and verizon may have changed things recently?
[Verizon LG G3] sprintrjm:
re

Foxfi does not work. Hopefully there's a fix soon.
[Verizon LG G3] hochoch:
Anyone else notice that 4g is running all the time, even on WiFi? I uninstalled all the Verizon bloat and it's still there. My wife had the same issue with her galaxy but removing caller id fixed it for her.....
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
Is there any reason that the new sim would be better than the old G2 sim if the rest didn't matter to you? Is anything going to work better with a new fresh sim? I had some voicemail refresh issues so I was wondering if I should try the new sim..
[Verizon LG G3] rfarrah:
I just plugged in my G2 SIM. So far so good. Hadn't heard the new one enabled nfc.....?
[Verizon LG G3] mikec86:
I think that is normal for it to show up while on WIFI. It did this on a few of my phones
[Verizon LG G3] streetpounder:
You call also go into settings > display > home menu buttons > button combination and add it natively!
[Verizon LG G3] IndianaBond:
Are talking about the 4G symbol always in the status bar? If so, it's suppose to be there. It's not running unless there are the up and down arrows beneath it. It's off when there is no arrows beneath it.

If you knew this already, sorry.
[Verizon LG G3] mikec86:
My NFC works fine with my old SIM card. The new card is needed for ISIS wallet to function. Security thing.
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
I see no issue. I might just go in to VZW and get a new SIM at some point or order one online.
[Verizon LG G3] hochoch:
Thanks for the quick replies. I see when I turn off data that the 4g stays there but is grayed out. when its on it's white and there are arrows beneath it, even when wifi is active. It's definitely on. not sure it's actually doing anything tho....in any other phone I've had in the past when wifi becomes active it replaces the 3g/4g icon. Maybe this is just the default view?

I just went through all my running services and disabled almost all of them that could possibly be using any data and its still there.....
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
Does it annony you to see it or do you think it may be still using your data?
[Verizon LG G3] hochoch:
Both - lol! I have unlimited (thanks transfer upgrade!). But I'm actually more concerned with battery life. Don't want a rogue app running in the background accessing my 4g and wasting battery.
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
O OK lol I see now. Yea batt life is very important. Have you heard of tasker? Its a app that will guarantee your data isn't running in the background when you don't want it to.
[Verizon LG G3] hochoch:
Yeah, but that's a bit more complicated than I want to start with. Thanks for the suggestion tho. I'm sure someone will figure it out.... Could just be the default view. Is everyone else seeing 4g and Wi-Fi active?
[Verizon LG G3] mutelight:
Yeah, currently it does not work but I have been using USB tethering via PDANet and it works for now.

When I updated my Note 3 to KitKat, it did the same thing, showing the cellular connection with 4G as well as WiFi. It wasn't using cellular data though.
[Verizon LG G3] Colchiro:
... or log into Verizonwireless.com and activate online.

At this point, any advantage of buying from BB vs. corporate VZ?

I was waiting patiently for the bootloader to get unlocked, or the 27th when the $99 sale ends, but can tell I get twitchy every time I drive past either of those stores.
[Verizon LG G3] scooby-snack:
I'm logged on to My Verizon... when I select Upgrade my Device I don't see any option to Transfer it from UDP Device to the DP Device. Would you mind giving me a quick step by step? Or can I just call Verizon Customer care to have them transfer the UP?
[Verizon LG G3] hochoch:
Regarding the 4g/Wifi icons being displayed. There is an option to hide the 4g when wifi is enabled in the g3 tweakbox, but of course it doesn't work (at least for me). Must be something verizon specific. hopefully will get resolved in an update. thanks for everyone's input!
[Verizon LG G3] tlogank:
For all of you that just switch SIM cards, does that get you out of the $30 upgrade charge, or is that pretty much unavoidable?

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

This is just how it is now, even on other Verizon phones since the S4. You're not using mobile data, but it does need to have a Verizon connection still to send/receive text and calls.
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
The $30 upgrade charge was applied at time of order, and showed in my packing slip when I received the G3. The SIM swap from my old RAZR was just to avoid any hassle with activating and moving phones across lines.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
don't think menu is available on stock rom
[Verizon LG G3] droidrev71:
There isn't a specific menu button in the LG software like you have instructed. Have to hold down recent button to trigger the menu.
[Verizon LG G3] streetpounder:
You can add it exactly how I have instructed. I'm looking at it right now. I placed it next to my recent button.

Unless I. Did something else to enable it inadvertently but the option is there for me.

You got rid of the Caller Name ID is turned off or uninstalled. That's what got rid of it for me on the S3 but I tried that on my wife's S4 and that didn't help.

Actually, I prefer it this way. It doesn't get the nav bar clustered.

[Verizon LG G3] hochoch:
yeah - I did the same for my wife's s3 (as I posted earlier) and it went away, no luck here after uninstalling. but it doesn't appear as if any data is being used, the arrows aren't lighting up, just grayed out, even though the 4g is white. oh well - i'll live!

Now just get me home!

[Verizon LG G3] IndianaBond:
What I've read is that after you have your device up and running for a few hours, it smooths itself out. Several people have commented on this. I had a little stutter for the first few hours and now it's baby butt smooth.
[Verizon LG G3] gobztopper:
Line 1 UDP

Line 2 Dummy

Has anyone done an alternate upgrade from UDP line to Dummy line for the G3 at BB online, gone into store to pick up order, activate G3 with new sim on dummy line while still being able to keep UDP on first line?
[Verizon LG G3] scooby-snack:
I have the same question! Please let me know if you get any answers :)
[Verizon LG G3] ryken229:
I did this yesterday. So far on My Verizon it says that my UDP line where the upgrade originated still has unlimited. Not sure if there is a delay in the plan change or if I really did beat the system
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
And it won't change. Guys remember UNLIMITED DATA WILL ONLY BE TAKEN FROM YOU IF YOU UPGRADE THE LINE DIRECTLY. If you upgrade another line then put your sim in the phone you won't lose unlimited it's that simple. Just never upgrade the unlimited line directly.
[Verizon LG G3] Krusej23:
I just went into my local best buy and they didn't even know they had them in the storage shelves right behind them. I had to tell the guy the phone came out yesterday and then he checked for it. I didn't get to use the $50 upgrade promotion but they did let me use the $50 towards accessories like a screen protector, case, and audio aux cable. Loving the phone so far.
[Verizon LG G3] lukesdiesel:
I can't decide between the G3 or M8

Luke
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
I would use my S4 until it died an electronic death before losing my unlimited data for any device that is outdated within months of release. The G3 or any other device is insignificant compared to unlimited data. Word.
[Verizon LG G3] youngpettyboi:
Only reason I didn't wanna lose it is because I don't have internet at my house and I abused my data. I live in the woods and cable doesn't run in my neighborhood, only satellite, which is too expensive for their internet. With that said, I'm moving in the next month or so and I'll be good. WiFi helps a lot. Whenever I'm at work, in always on it so I ain't taking such a big hit personally. But I know what u mean man. My last 2 phones were bought outright to preserve my data.
