Thank you for posting this. I followed the directions to the letter and it worked without a hitch.
[Verizon LG G3] TheXclusive814:
Is there a guide for returning to stock unrooted?

Can you go into download mode and see if it's tripped in there anywhere?

Instructions to download mode

http://www.ninjaromeo.com/download-mode-lg-g3/

I don't want to do something I cannot undo
[Verizon LG G3] kwkw480:
yes, there is. Using the flash tool and stock firmware tot file.
[Verizon LG G3] TheXclusive814:
Other than Settings<about phone>software information >software status.

Is there any other place Verizon can check to see if your rooted or were rooted but unrooted ?

Coming from a Samsung there was in Download Mode. There was a root flag counter and Knox warranty status.And Knox flag couldn't be cleared. So they could see if you ever tampered with root and custom recoveries
[Verizon LG G3] eraursls1984:
I saw that pop up Into my YouTube feed. I wish I had your videos when I first got started with the Droid X and everything was done manually.

I also saw that FSU hat, GO NOLES! Well, except for the stupid new logo. We started, and ended, the BCS with a National Championship. Looks like we're going to start this era off right as well. If we aren't the National Champs again this year I blame it on the logo.
[Verizon LG G3] owenbeals:
I wasn't a big fan of the new logo at first but it is very slowly growing on me.
[Verizon LG G3] chinkster:
is anyone else getting the "VZWAVSSERVICE HAS STOPPED" popup after following this root method? can you guys see the screenshot? lol
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
No but I'm pretty sure that's one of things I froze in TiBu anyways.. Could try that and see where it takes you

[Verizon LG G3] chinkster:
i just froze it also and it didnt come back after a reboot anymore. im just wondering what that is used for tho? i hope its not needed for that new spectrum verizon is using for the faster speed LTE or whatever.
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
I really don't think it has anything to do with AWS. That's typically something that's enabled through a phones modem... At least it was on the S4.

A quick Google search leads me to believe it's something maybe to do with voicemail... Still not much to worry about I don't think

[Verizon LG G3] TheXclusive814:
Anyone ?
[Verizon LG G3] goldsmitht:
on my S3, after rooting, one of the VZW programs actually asked for root priviliges. Not sure what it was all about, but a quick denial, and then blacklisting it on SU kept it from asking again, but that might be one way. Would not give blanket approval to all apps asking for SUpriviliges.

:cyclops:
[Verizon LG G3] TheXclusive814:
I'm asking if I root my device is there a flag trip somewhere that Verizon will be able to tell even if I unroot and go back to stock on my LG g3
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
The My Verizon App has been known to ask for root privileges. A Dev in the S4 forums looked into it and he said it appears that the App is sending your " rooted " status to Verizon.

Unreal right? Big Red wants to know all!

[Verizon LG G3] TheXclusive814:
After obtaining root is there any apps we should uninstall or disable to stop the Verizon from seeing the root ?
[Verizon LG G3] bunchies:
I'd freeze the system update all just in case
[Verizon LG G3] TheXclusive814:
My Verizon app too? I thought I read somewhere that that my report root
[Verizon LG G3] bunchies:
I deleted all bloatware instead of freezing it (which seems unnecessary, wasn't thinking at the time)

except for system updates which i did freeze

Ive heard of a few that can detect root or flash OTA without a yes or no answer

i cant give an exact answer to your question since i dont know what every apk included does
[Verizon LG G3] eraursls1984:
I keep it because I use the widget to keep tabs on my data usage, but it does ask for root privileges.
[Verizon LG G3] TheXclusive814:
Did you deny the root request ?
[Verizon LG G3] eraursls1984:
Yes, but either way they'll know. If you don't use it I would at least freeze it.
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
Yea I just use the web version of my Verizon now. I've permanently uninstalled everything pertaining to Verizon using TiBu.

- Sent From My G3
[Verizon LG G3] TheXclusive814:
How will they know ?
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
I'd like to know this as well. If using the Flash Tool resets it to official is there another counter somewhere like in Sammy Phones? We could at least use Tri Angle Away with those and reset the flash counter but I don't know much about these LG phones.

The My Verizon app will ask for root Permissions and send that info to them. Other than that though?!?

- Sent From My G3
[Verizon LG G3] TheXclusive814:
That's why I didn't want and get another sammy phone because of Knox. Till I knew about it mine was tripped.. I haven't found anything that says LG has something hidden somewhere

I wonder if somebody could take the my verizon app and take out the root privilege is so it doesn't ask for it nor report it
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
Yea I'm sure there is someone on here capable of doing that, just if they'd want to. Maybe one of the xposed Modules like XPrivacy could limit that but I have a feeling it would just render the app useless since it does have to send info back to Verizon just to use it...

- Sent From My G3
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
Just deny it access, and it'll never prompt again.
[Verizon LG G3] thevaristy:
Thanks to the devs on this one because that was one of the easiest root methods I have ever used. I have had one issue crop up since root, and that is with wifi. I cant seem to connect to anything that has a wpa encryption. It always worked with no problem before root, but now after I cant connect to any that uses this security. Ive tried 3 networks already. Anyone else have this issue?
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
I connect to multiple encrypted networks, no problem seen since rooting.
[Verizon LG G3] AvErAgEj04:
My Verizon app is the app that VZ will use to detect root status.. when you open my verizon app and accept terms it disclosures that theybhave access to your device.. uninstall the app or disable it or you can use root cloak.. that works
[Verizon LG G3] csimo:
I agree, NEVER, NEVER open the My Verizon App after rooting. Freeze it in TIB, or disable it if you can. It contains code where they can look at anything in your device. DANGER. You may lose your unlimited data as well. I just got the news this week that they're reviewing all subsidized G3 upgrades. Make sure the SIM that came with the phone is active somewhere.
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
They're reviewing those for what reason?

[Verizon LG G3] eraursls1984:
Me too. I got mine strait through Verizon, but I did the sim swap.
[Verizon LG G3] exAusTiN:
so removing the verizon apps wont hurt the phone at all?
[Verizon LG G3] bunchies:
I think most people would freeze them but I removed them all and I'm fine

Edit: deleted all bloatware and froze the system update apk
[Verizon LG G3] csimo:
It voids your warranty thru Verizon. You have to send it to LG and wait a month for a replacement phone (if they decide it was caused by hardware). Verrizon is changing a lot of policies, and rooted phones are now no longer covered under warranty even if you revert to stock if you have the My Veri9zon app installed and running.

The only way to avoid this is to go into your SuperUser or SuperSU app and DENY root access to My Verizon.

It's just like using an upgrade on an existing account to get the upgrade for an unlimited data phone. Right now they only check that the SIM car is active on the new device 24 hours after activation. It has to be active on the new device, in the same billing account for 24 hours or you lose unlimited data. Make sure to keep the SIM acive even if you have to use a SIM adapter on any older phone on the SAME account.
[Verizon LG G3] spotmark:
I'm not worried about the SIM card at all. Nobody ever said you have to use a new SIM every time you get a new phone.
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
Mine came with a new one and the best buy guy just threw it in. Idk whatever

- Sent From My G3
[Verizon LG G3] spotmark:
I guess I'll find out, after Tuesday. I did a sideways Amazon upgrade, and I have no intention of using the SIM that comes with it. It's just going in the pile, with all the other new ones.

Edit-Now, enough of this off topic BS. I've got all the files downloaded, and it looks like it should be as simple as pie, to root the wife's phone, when it arrives. Hopefully a bootloader unlock will follow.
[Verizon LG G3] Ronbo19:
Just rooted with this, very simple. One question, can someone let me know what file I should freeze with Tibu to prevent the installation of any Android updates pushed out by Verizon.
[Verizon LG G3] workdowg:
System updates...
[Verizon LG G3] Ronbo19:
Thanks..guess I should have dug a little before posting the question.. Thought they would have used something a little more cryptic. Lol
[Verizon LG G3] Galaxynote1234:
Can someone please direct me to the thread that guides how to freeze the verizon apps and remove the bloatware? I will be getting the G3 in about a month and want to be prepared on how to do it since it'll be my first time rooting.
[Verizon LG G3] ylexot:
I don't think there's a thread about how to do it. It's pretty simple:

1) Get Titanium Backup

2) Run Titanium Backup (and grand root rights)

3) Find the app you want to freeze or remove (be careful what you remove, freezing is safer)

4) Select the app

5) Select Freeze or Uninstall

6) ...

7) Profit
[Verizon LG G3] Galaxynote1234:
Thank you for the info. I'll do that.
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
Under TiBU, to get to the Freeze area, select Menu, then Batch actions. When you get down to the freeze area and run it, the first thing is to press "Deselect all" -- you don't want to freeze every app on your system :)

Root should have no effect on your signal or internet speed. Root is nothing more than giving you superuser access or admin access.

Same here, i still have the s4 got my wife the g3...she's loving it says she'll never go back to iPhone lol. But I think this is the end for flashing Roms on new devices....every new device that comes out anymore has a locked bootloader...
[Verizon LG G3] spotmark:
That's why I'm sticking with the M8, for now. Being the only latest flagship that's unlocked, it allows me to feed my flashing addiction. ;)
[Verizon LG G3] shpotik:
I'm a flashaholic as well... But I feel even with only root you can clean up LG G3 and tweak it with xposed modules to make it look sweet(kinda like you did on your wife's phone)...I don't mind the LG operating system... I might still get it even if the bootloader never gets unlocked:) the phone is just too nice!
[Verizon LG G3] spotmark:
I'm debating getting it, too, even if it doesn't get unlocked. I have an upgrade available, so I can order another one from Amazon for $99.99, and keep the M8, if I want. The screen, and the camera, make me want it so bad. The screen, on the M8 is nice, but the camera blows.
[Verizon LG G3] akakai:
With G3 Tweakbox my UI is just Android L. Much better than than the stock look. I used to be a flashaholic with my S3, but I no longer feel the need to flash anything other than stock. I got it really close to the stock Android look and feel.

Home Key / Settings Button

Help... Rooted my g3 with no problems. Loaded up TiBu and restored some of my apps. No my home key, menu key, and my settings button in my notification pull-down won't work. Obviously something I restored messed things up. Is there any way to reset everything without a custom recovery like TWRP installed?

Thanks for any help...
[Verizon LG G3] wizayne:
have you tried booting into safe mode? I'm guessing that would disable 3rd party apps a are theming them. you could have possibly restored system apps and/or system data that is incompatible. idk but if you can use the .tot file in this section with LG flashtool (the OP did an excellent job splainin' how to do all that stuff even for me with zero LG experience)

if all else fails you could use adb connection to reset the device by booting stock recovery and performing a factory reset if it's an option.

adb devices

adb reboot recovery

once it reboots you may be as to access a stock recovery factory reset option..if I remember correctly adb has an option to do the same from CLI. let us know it goes.

vol/power keys should do the trick.
[Verizon LG G3] RJFrank33:
Thank you... Had to do a factory reset. I guess I'm going to have to do it the long way and download all my apps from the app store. Oh well, this phone is worth it. I love it! Thanks again for your help...
[Verizon LG G3] wizayne:
glad you got it figured out. I would guess you could restore user apps without their data and have zero issues. even with their data it should only crash an individual user app. system apps will be a whole 'nother ball game and I would exercise extreme caution when restoring them and even more so when restoring system apps+data across versions of android like 4.3x > 4.4x. you know the drill lol
[Verizon LG G3] RJFrank33:
Yeah, I never restore system data so I don't know what happened. One of the apps might have included some system data, who knows. At any rate, that's what I love about the Android community, pretty much whatever happens someone is willing to help you out.

Thanks again...

I used this method to root my G3 but I have a camera issue that requires a factory reset, can I perform a factory reset through settings or will this brick my phone?
[Verizon LG G3] TwistingSoul:
I had to login and comment that, like others, this was THE fastest root I've ever experienced.

Side note: even though iORoot says to wait 3 seconds after selecting the ADB sideload option in Recovery, you actually should wait longer than that.

On my first few attempts, I even counted by Mississipi's to make sure it was a full 3 seconds, and I never received the Dat Root screen.

I did it again and lost count of my Mississipis (I'd wager approximately 10 seconds went by) then I received the Dat Root screen after hitting "enter" on the computer to start the root process, and now have full access to my external SD card as we bloody well should!

Thanks again for this.

[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
To use stumproot your phone must be stock. If you have tried other methods like towelroot or ioroot or purple whatever, you can't use stumproot, even if they failed or you later unroofed. Best to reset using the TOT file, which you be familiar with anyway.
[Verizon LG G3] ericsmart:
I used towelroot method to started with and status showing failed. I used stumproot right after, successed. either his phone act funny or a bad download. delete stumproot try download stumproot again and follow instructions. if still fail, then reset with..tot file. but my question is...is tot only one options? how about using superus pro which cost couple of dollars and that allowed you to unroot with one click, since we don't have twrp, cwm or any custom recovery. will that work?

How safe is it to root without twrp/cwm? Never rooted without recovery before, but the stupid Verizon bloatware is annoying... :eek:
[Verizon LG G3] eraursls1984:
Its safe to root, but there are things you can do with root access that can soft brick and lose everything. Stick with the tried and true mods, and read carefully and you won't have any issues. Build prop editing is one thing I see people messing up on frequently. Anything you do using G3 TweaksBox Xposed module is safe.
