i dont want to derail the tread too much as there is a thread pertaining to this already, and its been covered quite thoroughly (thanks for sharing though :) )

however, all you should need to do is freeze the "system updates" app and "com.lge.lgfota.permission" app. i used Rom Toolbox Pro to do it, and didnt need to convert either out of the system.

either you needed to freeze the second app too, or titanium needs a better freeze gun lol

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

that can never be said too many times :good:

but its been thoroughly proven in this rare case, that there is really no down side, as long as you dont loose root while updating.

you can bet your arse we wont get this lucky next time lol
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
Well, I have long ago frozen both those with Titanium Backup Pro and I just checked - yes, they are still Frozen according to Titanium Backup Pro. So, you can imagine my amazement when early this morning I was presented with the options to Install Now or Install Later !

I am StumpRooted, but don't yet have the Bumped TWRP installed. Titanium Backup seems to need a better Freeze Gun, indeed !

I know the v11c OTA will not install, because I have made a few build.prop changes and replaced the HotSpot all, but I do want to confirm that the OTA will still download to /cache and annoy you to allow it to install, even if those two apps you list are Frozen with TiBackUp, anyway. I have no idea how...frozen should be frozen, right ?

[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
You would think, frozen is frozen. Apparently there is some difference in efficiency. I have not been prompted, except for when I defrosted the apps to pull the ota.

Is there a particular order that these three zips (system, boot, modem) need to be flashed? Can I leave out the boot.img flash, or should I do all three for stability?
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
there is no specific order required.

i havent seen any pro's or con's about flashing the boot. seems to be just a matter of preference for the most part.
[Verizon LG G3] budven:
Just to make sure I am clear. Do you create a folder named flash2 in the root directory of the internal sdcard or do they go in the sdcard folder? For example is it /flash2 or /sdcard/flash2. Step 5 looks like you create you create a folder named flash2 as a sub folder in the sdcard folder. Sorry, I just want to make sure I am clear on this.
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
technically, its storage/emulated/0

but if you connect to your pc, i believe it says internal storage.

[Verizon LG G3] budven:
Ok, now I am even more confused and I seem like the only one. (Boy do I feel stupid.) As I posted already I tried to update the modem.img. I followed these instructions...

1. Download the modem file here from IndianaBond and rename it modem.img

2. Download Flash2Modem.zip from AutoPrime here.

3. Make a new folder on your internal sdcard called: flash2

4. Download and place Flash2Modem.zip on your phone. Internal/external sdcard.

5. Stick modem.img into the /sdcard/flash2/ folder.

6. Create backup's in TWRP.

7. In TWRP, flash Flash2Modem.zip to install your updated images.

As per step five I created a folder here /sdcard/flash2. So I created a flash2 folder as a sub-folder of sdcard on my internal sdcard. I put the modem.img file in that folder and then flashed the Flash2Modem.zip in twrp. My phone would not get past the verizon red screen. So what am I doing wrong?
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
here is the flash2 folder right off my phone as you need it setup. just extract the zip to get the folder.

im assuming different file explorers show the directories different, but you can see how it is to be placed on the internal storage. look at the folders in the pic, most of them are typical, to help you see where to place the folder.

if that doesnt clear things up let me know.
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
See the prior post. The flash2 directory belongs in the same area as your Android, DCIM, and Download folders.

If you use ES File Explorer, it is the area shown if you tell it to display "Home".

Autoprime, just to confirm, whether or not this blocks root methods and/or the exploit pathway Bump uses, we can always downgrade to 10B, right? Just making sure this isn't like Samsung where you're stuck for good on a newer version.
[Verizon LG G3] LRiley:
Does not disable root. I did have to install the xposed module again after reboot but all is well.
[Verizon LG G3] lexluthor:
I'm rooted, no custom recovery, I have a bunch of things frozen, but no system files deleted. I do have xposed.

The update failed almost immediately on mine. After I booted back up, it said no changes.

Perhaps it's xposed that I'd need to remove before the update can work?

Will free system updates and hang out on the sidelines a bit.

---------- Post added at 01:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 PM ----------

So you were just rooted, no custom recovery/bump? You didn't have to remove xposed first before installing? What about un-freezing things?

The update failed on me, but I think I just have some things frozen, plus xposed.
[Verizon LG G3] autoprime:
pretty sure it blocks ioroot and stump.. tho if previously rooted on 10B the root will be retained thru the OTA to 10C.

When the block for Bump comes... downgrades will likely also be blocked... so anyone taking the OTA will lock themselves out of Bump forever.. and possibly root as well. This is why it's never a good idea to take an OTA update without it being fully inspected and the results posted prior to doing so.

10C likely does not block Bump.. the next OTA.. people may not be so lucky.
[Verizon LG G3] sleepwlk78:
If u have any of the Verizon bloat frozen it will cause it not to update. I am rooted with exposed and it updated fine. Kept root after exposed update.
[Verizon LG G3] LRiley:
I didn't remove xposed and for updates stock apps can't be frozen. Yes, I only had root no custom recovery/bump
[Verizon LG G3] terminal13:
This update is garbage. I already had a camera shortcut. More of an attempt to patch root access and bootloaders as mentioned earlier in thread. Smh.......

[Verizon LG G3] lexluthor:
hmm. I just unfroze everything and still got the same error.

I didn't delete any system files ever that I can remember. I did edit one system file to boost the headset volume. Wonder if that could be the block?
[Verizon LG G3] immortal7792:
Good thing we had this phone already guys because now anyone who buys the phone with be SOL with bump. NEVER UPDATE. Just be patient until someone makes a custom ROM for the new build.

Is there a flash to stock guide for VZW G3? I keep getting an error message.
[Verizon LG G3] bcoop8:
Err:0x1117008

I am rooted on stock rom. My G3 reboots to apply the update, thes says "err: 0x1117008". Is anyone else getting this?
[Verizon LG G3] mediumraresteak:
Yea, I got this twice and I think it's because I fiddled around with certain apps/settings while being rooted.
[Verizon LG G3] bcoop8:
I just disabled some bloatware in the settings. I'm re-enabling them now. Then I'm going to try again. I'll post if anything works.
[Verizon LG G3] kwkw480:
lol... i guess people don't care about possibility losing root or the unlocked bootloader. They would much rather update NOW then wait on a dev and then complain later when stuck on an outdated OS because they were impatient. Just my thoughts I hope no one takes offense.
[Verizon LG G3] 06stang:
I did a complete factory reset but kept root. Still getting same update error 0x00 whatever
[Verizon LG G3] overzeetop:
Any easy way to clear the notification to update?

Edit: disappeared as soon as I froze System_Updates_1_13_10_0 in Titanium Backup
[Verizon LG G3] funkymonk101:
As others have said, assuming you are rooted, easiest way is to install Titanium Backup, and use it to freeze the "System Update" app. That immediately removed the notification for me.

Again, if you are rooted, DO NOT INSTALL THIS UPDATE. It probably doesn't break root, but may break the bootloader, and who knows what else. There aren't any particularly important changes in this update, just wait a few days for the devs to come up with a clean/rooted version of the update.
[Verizon LG G3] jdellingson7:
Yes go into app manager and find system updates app, force stop it. If you want it to stop coming up use Titanium backup and freeze that app
[Verizon LG G3] xplicitmind20:
This is because when you're rooted, it writes the root status to the stock recovery on the phone, therefore no matter how many times you wipe the phone or unfreeze system apps, etc, it will continue to throw the error "Err : 0x1111004" You will have do a complete factory restore with the TOT file before being able to apply the update it seems.

[Verizon LG G3] 318sugarhill:
I did the modem first because that's all I wanted... Changed my mind and then flashed system. I could not get my computer to recognize the phone in MTP mode in order to transfer files until I flashed the boot.img. Not sure why but it worked again after flashing the boot
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
thats good to know, thanks :)
[Verizon LG G3] laurasaurisrex:
A big thank you to everyone who contributed to figuring out this OTA. I received the notification today and came looking for info - read through all 37 pages. Flashed the modem, system, and boot, and I'm up and running again with minimal effort. I had to update the su binaries, reinstall Xposed, and re-disable the bloat... but other than that it's perfectly fine. Signal is noticeably better too. Good modem update. MTP mode works fine as well, my computer can see the phone and I can access the file system. I didn't have to switch to camera mode or move USB ports, it just worked.

[MENTION=1542768]budven[/MENTION] - the internal sdcard is kind of weird - you can reach it by 3 different paths, all called something different, but it's the same location on your phone. One way is going all the way to the root directory, and there is an "sdcard" folder there.

You can also go to the root directory and then to storage>sdcard0. It's the same location. And again you can also go to storage>emulated>0. Also the same location.

Look at the file path for these three screen shots. Hope that helps.
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Hi all. I'm considering upgrading to the G3 for Christmas, but after reading this I'm now totally hesitant. Yes, I read all 39 pages. If the G3 gets my money and it comes with the 11C update already installed, will I be able to downgrade and root?

Is this OTA the reason the G3 Android Development has so much activity but the Verizon section seems like it's totally dead?

Thanks in advance. :o

You read all 39 pages?then I would know yea you can kdz back to 10b.the reason the g3 development section is busy because of tmobile g3 I would get.look this phone is beast period.i've got mine loaded to the max with mods and unlocks and it is blazing fast and stays on cue!

[Verizon LG G3] ohlin5:
Trying to accept ANY ota after rooting and/or unlocking is an extremely bad idea and highly not recommended. In this case it's been confirmed you'd probably keep root, but next time you almost surely won't be so lucky. I'd highly recommend you unlock, use twrp, and freeze & forget about ota's forever.

Hi guys, I have a Verizon G3 which I'm using with a T-mobile sim. I actually won the device, being my reason for using it with T-mobile as opposed to Verizon!

I haven't rooted / done anything beyond disabling the verizon bloatware. I have had no update notification and I get nothing when I manually check for updates. Anyone have similar issues? How can I go about getting it?

Thanks!
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
I think you will need to borrow a friend's Verizon LTE sim and install that before Verizon will send you the OTA. I would not accept the v11c OTA though, if I were you, because it is not possible yet to root that version.
[Verizon LG G3] chertilo:
I might be off base here, but I updated to 11c (ota) and I still have my root. I am a noob at this and could be completely wrong, but my backup app (helium) still works and doesn't ask me to sync to desktop. Is there a sure way to check if my root is preserved?
[Verizon LG G3] hochoch:
Download root checker from the play store.
[Verizon LG G3] chertilo:
[MENTION=3353248]hochoch[/MENTION] thanks. And I still do have root access.
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
Still have it, yes, but if you had not had root before you updated to v11c you would not be able to get it on v11c.

You would have to revert back to v10b, root that, preserve root somehow (maybe), then flash v11c.

With future Verizon OTA's the necessary roll-back to v10b may well no longer be possible. ATT G3 users got an OTA today, for example. Can they still root ? No one is sure.
[Verizon LG G3] blueis300:
I dont want to root but also dont want to take the update as I already went back to 10b. Ive read a few different apk to freeze or things but on certain files do I have to have root. hope that make sense I want to freeze the files not to take the update but not root.
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
Try going to System Settings - Applications - All. If you see "System updates", select it and see if " Disable " is an available option. That's the app we freeze normally.

No guarantees, for me I used root and froze the app with TiBU.

Good luck!
[Verizon LG G3] blueis300:
Yeah no option to disable just force stop.
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
No real shock, it was the best suggestion I have. By definition twiddling with system files is a root type activity. Since I am rooted, I see a disable option, wasn't sure if you might too.
[Verizon LG G3] blueis300:
Will there a point that I will say that I dont want to update and best to root and disable anyhow? I know somwetimes it makes you take the update. Main main worry lol is not being able to use Foxfi when I need it. When I took the update I wasnt able to use it.
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
Yes. Root and disable updates.

Yeah I read about taking the update and then not being able to do anything. Thats why I reverted to 10b now. Just dont want to be made to take the update in the future. I read about one way went you enter a string of numbers say ***87634**#, it takes you to a menu and then you disable that way but heard that didnt stop hit. Seems the only way now may be through the hidden menu.
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
I froze "System updates..." in titanium backup, that seems to have worked. I know one user reports seeing an update after freezing, but that seems to be an anomaly.
[Verizon LG G3] sipock97:
I froze with Titanium and all is well.
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
I froze all apps related to system updates with titanium backup pro, the OTA notices appeared anyway. The update downloaded to /cache/fota anyway (3 files), and it tried to annoy me into letting it apply over and over anyway. This was all about 3 days after I had first checked and it said an update was available and I told it no.

The hidden menu trick disabled the OTA. Nothing else worked for me, though it would have failed due to me having changed my hotspot app and my build.prop already anyway.
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
If you have frozen "System updates 1_13_10_0" successfully, going to "System settings -- System updates" returns you to your home screen with a popup box "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped."

If you don't want to freeze with TiBU, go to /system/app and rename the LGDMSClient apk and odex files - that's the system update app for the g3 (& several other lg phones).
[Verizon LG G3] blueis300:
I renamed those 2 files. Hope it works.
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
Might want to restart your phone. If you then go to settings, update will have disappeared since it has been renamed.
[Verizon LG G3] Flapjack:
I froze system updates with tb and haven't had a problem. I'm not sure what all the hassle has been about.

On a side note, what is with all the people who ran out and had to install the update? What were you thinking??

Should I buy this phone?

Please correct me if I'm wrong but from a brief look at this thread it looks like currently (to what I've seen) there is no root exploit for the 11c version unless you had the phone prior to taking the OTA and were rooted. I was considering getting this phone through amazon because of the awesome black Friday deal, but I wouldn't want to buy the phone if it comes preinstalled with a version that can't be rooted. Maybe I am unfamiliar with how a carrier/cellphone provider/distributor handles their devices, but I wouldn't want to get the phone only to have to ship it back when I find that it has the version preinstalled and it can not be rooted.

Any info helps
