sorry for all the questions lol

but i gave it permissions and cant seem to get it to work still. Can you give me a quick brief summary of what steps you took to do it? sorry for the hassle but Im confused on whats wrong maybe im missing some other step

Thanks for the help (I ran out of thanks for the day)

What happens if you use adb and type su?
[G2 General] abdel12345:
i get a message saying thats not a recognized internal or external command, operable program, or batch file
[G2 General] JackpotClavin:
Oh sorry abdel I meant to ask that to [MENTION=2522637]MicroMod777[/MENTION] regarding if root works with adb or not with Lollipop
[G2 General] abdel12345:
When i type in adb shell and press enter i get a device not found so im guessing thats the issue. My phone is in ethernet mode like micromod told me and connected to my pc with usb debugging on so not sure whats wrong

---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

oh ok no problem,

i think my issue might be the drivers. my computer has had lots of updates so maybe it screwed the drivers up. Im trying to reinstall them now and Ill see how it goes.

Any other reasons adb wont recognizze the phones connected? Its in ethernet mode and usbdebugging is on.
[G2 General] koftheworld:
Personally I would try: Make sure you have the most updated drivers and sdk and then try another usb port with the oem cable.
[G2 General] abdel12345:
I installed the drivers again and im using the oem cable. I just tried both fron tusb ports on my cpu and the back ones too and none are working :(

I think I'll just stay on 27a until someone posts their steps. I really wanted to get it onto lollipop so i can get it all setup beofre i went to sleep but its been 2 hours and i havent gotten past the 27a kdz lol

I feel like Im making a really dumb mistake thats why im hoping someone will post their steps in order.

---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

I really hope the lollipop update isnt as bloated as the 27a variant especially if theres no root. I just disabled like 25 apps lol. I dont want to uninstall them since ill need a stock system to install the ota which im still failing at. Ill just try again in the morning from my brothers laptop instead of the desktop. For now ill try to 'enjoy' good old kitkat :D
[G2 General] koftheworld:
I'm pretty sure you need a completely stock phone with no disabled apps to use the ota to lollipop.you need an unmodified system folder.
[G2 General] scififan68:
Awesome!

The instillation worked exactly like the VS98024A 4.4.2 update was leaked a year a ago. It is indeed very damn fast and so far I'm glad I upgraded! Also under Mobile networks > System select there are three options, Global, LTE/CDMA, LTE/GSM/UMTS! which means it will just be easier to work with T-mobile or AT&T band 4 lte! :D
[G2 General] abdel12345:
i didnt disable them with titanium backup and i didnt even disable them until after i gave up on trying.

I disabled them using the normal disable button under app settings. That doesnt affect the system at all.
[G2 General] MicroMod777:
On 27a u need full stock n use stump to root.

adb shell

adb su
[G2 General] abdel12345:
I think it might be my CPU. I'm gonna try my bros laptop as soon as he's done working on it or tomorrow. I used stump root and the I used adb shell and it just says device not connected or something like that.
[G2 General] spimonkey34:
This may sound dumb but did you change to USB connection type to Internet (you can choose either sub option)?
[G2 General] abdel12345:
yeah i did try that. I found the issue though finally. I wasnt under platform tools folder. My device is recognized now and now im getting the permission denied issue so im gonna mess with the permissions and see what happens

i really want to get this done tonight so im not gonna give up yet haha

edit:ok using the su command got the permission denied to go away and now the command goes through... but nothing happens :(

nevermind lol i forgot to do the second command after... haha im an idiot

and its working! thanks a lot everyone for helping me out and putting up with me :D

I still can't believe how awesome it is that we got lollipop first even if its not an official ota. and though it took me 3 hours to finally get working lol

---------- Post added at 11:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 PM ----------

Damn.... looks like i spoke too soon.

I got the 28a update on but when i tried to do the same with the 39a it just reboots and says successful but its still clearly on 28a. Im gonna try to recopy it to my phone in case it was a bad file or something
[G2 General] xdabbeb:
If a kdz of this doesn't show up in the next few days, I've got an idea of how to get this in a rooted/flashable state. I just need to finish up a few other things first.

Guys you should do a new Thread about this official Lollipop OTA
[G2 General] TheUnladenSwallow:
Shweet, lemme know if you need a tester. As some of you may have noticed, I've got no problems testing risky stuff. Probably cus Verizon won't cancel the 10 dollar a month insurance that covers everything even though we've tried to cancel it like 3 times :P

Also is it getting on anyone else's ocd nerves that they left the old boot animation for us but upgraded the rest to flat design? They even upgraded the boot animation for the Korean variant lol. Unless simple ROM added that.
[G2 General] abdel12345:
Ok im done trying for today, i got 28a installed but the actual lollipop refuses to install. It keeps going through as if its gonna install but then it just reboots and says it was successful even though it wasnt. Im thinking it may have been a bad download so im gonna redownload tomorrow and try again. I really hope this is all worth it lol
[G2 General] TheUnladenSwallow:
I'd say it is. I'd also try deleting the dlpkg file and recovery folder from /etc/fota, then re add them. I think that could fix it. Also make absolutely sure you're doing both commands. The other thing I considered, is that maybe you're still installing the 28a ota over and over again? Delete them, download the 28a to 39a again, and try again is my advice.
[G2 General] jomtos:
Working good here. there's wireless storage
[G2 General] abdel12345:
Ok that's what I'll try tomorrow. I deleted the 28a ota from the phone before copying over the other one. I know the size difference so j could tell it was the right one. I'm probably just so tired that i was doing something stupid. Ill. Try again in the morning with a clean download and fresh start. Thanks for advice :thumbup:

Hopefully with more people working on root we get it figured out for both the G2 and G3.

So far it's been ornery on the G3. Very anxious to see fresh ideas as the consensus seems to be the G3 won't get root until an official kdz.
[G2 General] MicroMod777:
We can probably do a system dump then build from the source code released for the LP kernel.

To do it right we still need to pull the other partitions.
[G2 General] schwem:
That's funny. Verizon canceled my insurance without even asking me and when I told them I still want it they said it's too late even though I never cancelled it. You can have my contract if you'd like!

[G2 General] albsat:
Would it be possible to port this vzn lollipop to other models like 802?
[G2 General] roboMr.Burns:
It's not worth the effort. Eventually it will come ihr for d802. But it is possible, just have a look at the grola rom. Anyway I would not trust that rom.. Too many devices bricked since it messes around with your partitions.
[G2 General] da_reeseboy:
That's what it was doing to me before I set permissions on the dlpkgfile.

[G2 General] slayer3032:
Yes, LG will port this rom for your phone and you can get it OTA through your stock rom.
[G2 General] abdel12345:
I redownloaded and gave it all the permissions and still nothing :(. Am i the only one having issues installing?

1. I redownloaded the 28a to 39a file

2. renamed it to dlpkgfile

3. I moved it to my phone and then from there i moved it to the cache/fota folder

4. I created a recovery folder (it was there for first update but after that one it went away so i made it again. Do i have to put anything in it?)

5. I gave full permissions rwxrwxrwx to fota and recovery folder and the dlpkgfile

6. I ran an adb shell

7. then su

8. Then the two commands from xdabbebs instructions

What could I be doing wrong? After the first command I get the response a/dlpkgfile" > /cache/recovery/command

And after thesecond one i get Starting: Intnent { cpm=come.lge.lgfota.permission/.DmcEzUpdater }

Then the phone reboots and it just goes back into the system and says Update successful notification in the status bar even though it hasnt updated. If anyone can look at my steps and tell me if they see whats wrong that would greatly appreciated. Thanks

ps: I did the same steps with 27a to 28a and it worked but when im trying woth 28a to 39a is when im getting stuck. Not sure what i couldve done differently the first time...

the recovery folder i made is empty. Should i make a command file in it?
[G2 General] natalya:
Yes and he fact that we have the source code makes it easier to port. But why bother when we get it officially anyway.

Sent from my LG-D802
[G2 General] da_reeseboy:
The only other thing I can think of is to make sure the dlpkgfile doesn't have an extension on the end of it like .bin. Otherwise it all sounds right. The first command you run will create a file in the recovery folder called command with "--update_package=/cache/fota/dlpkgfile" written in it.
[G2 General] jomtos:
You don't need to put anything in that folder. I did the same and works fine here.
[G2 General] abdel12345:
thanks so much man! you were right i did have the .bin extension and getting rid of it worked. Finally updating. Again thanks a lot i appreciate it. It took me forever and i never even thought of removing the extension. Not sure how i didnt notice that since i didnt have it on the 28a one.
[G2 General] jomtos:
Yes just rename it without .bin. The file in fota should be "dlkpgfile" only.
[G2 General] abdel12345:
yep i just tried it and it started workign thanks for all the help. Ive been trying to get htis since yesterday and that was my one problem haha

edit:finally booting into it xD. Hope it was all worth it.

[G2 General] ktetreault14:
What if we used Verizon system with the kernel and stuff from grola. I have a ls980 sitting around as I just got a note 4
[G2 General] abdel12345:
How would you get the system though? It's in the form of an ota that you have t install over a 28a stock kdz. Since there's no root we can't really get any system files or anything even if we've installed it already.

It could work since on, Verizon I used to just flash other roms and use vs980 kernel to get it booting though rotation would be messed up and since grola Rom I uses lots of hacking to get it working it might not be fully compatible. It May be worth a try if we can get the system once root Comes.

I'm Running it now and it's really great. Much better than simple rom because it doesn't have All those small issues and reboots.

I feel ashamed of being a LG G2 D802 users, since LG doesn't care about us.

Even local service providers got update, the international version which LG must have sold hundred thousands of phones, has been least prior for LG.

At least 5 of my friends ordered this phone because of my recommendation.

Now when they ask me why we haven't received update, I cannot say anything

Shame on you LG.

Step by step

Instructions I used for those interested (must be 27a stock-you’ll have to research how to get there):

1.	Download https://pvzwmdmcdn.vzw.motive.com/firmware/LG_VS980_27A_TO_28A.bin

2.	Download: https://pvzwmdmcdn.vzw.motive.com/firmware/LG_VS980_28A_TO_39A.bin

3.	If you don’t have ADB Installer go here (fast and easy): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

4.	Rename 27a to 28a file to dlpkgfile (no .bin extension) and put it here /cache/fota/ (get root explorer to help you cut and paste). All I did was cut and paste it there. Create the folder /cache/recovery/command/ (did this in root explorer – menu, new folder, rename it).

5.	From your PC open windows explorer, hold shift and right click and select ‘Open command window here’. I don’t think it matters what folder you are in but I chose my downloads folder.

6.	Type: adb devices and hit enter (this is to verify you are connected)

7.	Type: adb shell and hit enter

8.	Type: su and hit enter

9. Type: am start -n com.lge.lgfota.permission/com.lge.lgfota.permission.DmcEzUpdateStart

10.	The phone will restart and go through the process of upgrading.

11.	Do this ALL over again renaming the 28a to 39a to dlpkgfile (no .bin extension).

12.	I NEVER ran this (kept getting errors) and things are fine: echo "--update_package=/cache/fota/dlpkgfile" > /cache/recovery/command

CREDIT goes to JackpotClavin and Xdabbeb and special thanks to Chet G.

Battery life through the night was really good but hard to measure.

I have to be able to tether in the car or my kids might revolt. Lol. I also use it for my tv some when the cable goes out. This time of year it goes out about twice a week.
[G2 General] jonstrong:
Running very well. The only oddity is that I can't find where I'd set "face unlock" as an option for the lock screen -- but I periodically see a message on the lock screen indicating that it's trying to recognize me. I don't recall where the option was in 4.4.2.

LG's skin works nicely with material design. Vibration strength is infinitely variable (sliders) for Incoming calls, Notifications, Vibrate on Tap (all separate sliders). You can select different notifications per app (and notifications are visible on the lock screen) - very nice! The ability to block notifications is a nice design - you can decide how "interruptions" come in, when, and for what when you've set your phone to "priority interruptions only" (calendar events, Incoming calls, new messages), and you can set "downtime" (audible notifications blocked) by day of week and time of day.

All in all - very polished and smooth.

EDIT: found "smart screen" - that's the face detection - not for unlock, but instead to keep the screen on while I'm looking at the phone. Old feature - nothing new here!

EDIT: one more feature I forgot - you can now turn on "flashing" of the the camera flash with incoming messages, like an HTC One. You get a couple of very bright flashes when a new message comes in. Great way to call attention when the sound is off...

That's kind of you, but I actually did test root. Tried survival mode in SuperSU and saving root with root toolkit. Neither worked. Already saw that stump doesn't work so far with lollipop...so...thst was just me being too tired to connect the dots earlier.

Anyway, for now, this is shiny and new enough so I can ignore root for the moment. Really curious about battery and overall performance - first impression is very positive.

Could you explore if the Camera2 API is working on Lollipop ? You can post the output of adb shell dumpsys media.camera -v 3 and then click a picture with the stock camera. It will look something like http://blog.163.com/eng_2005@126/blog/static/1720907582014726104948861/
