Last night I bit the bullet and decided to install ZV8 after backing everything up with Titanium Backup PRO, LG Backup, and Google Backup. Nothing like making sure you have your bases covered. I even uploaded my backups to the cloud. I upgraded TWRP to the latest bumped version for the G3, and I was ready to go. I loaded up ZV8 and the patches to the audio and build.prop and installed them. In a few minutes I was ready to reboot. The LG boot screen appeared followed by the LG animation, not Sprint's animation. The rebuilding of the ART cache took place and I was greeted by the initialization process. After an hour Titanium Backup Pro was fully operational so I restored my system settings, updated my PRL, and reset my profile. After Google finished its reinstallation of all of my apps, I had Titanium Backup restore the data only for the apps. I restored my screen layout from the LG backup and I was almost back to the point that I was previously. I remembered that I better run the SD card permission fix and modify my su settings. Then I rebooted once more.

I tested a CDMA and VoIP call and it worked perfectly along with downloading files, Hangups with MMS, and all of the other things that people were reporting had gone wrong. Everything worked perfectly except the widget for the twitter app that I found out was broken during the latest update. NFC with Google Wallet wasn't working after my restore, so I deleted and reinstalled the app and it recognized the NFC device. My guess is that there is a encryption key and HW ID that is generated and it had changed during the upgrade. Of course I had to tweak the OS settings again, but that is to be expected.

Now my G3 is running Lollipop goodness without any issues that I have yet discovered. I don't have the Sprint animation, but I don't really care either. I like the new features that I have had on my Nexus 7 with the exception of the annoying notifications that still need some work by Google and app developers to get it right. My ringtones and LED notifications were reset so I'll have to set those up again, but overall the upgrade was pretty painless thanks to Engine95. I recommend that you follow his instructions to the letter and make sure that TWRP is updated too. I was on stock ZV6 with bumped root so I was starting from a clean place.
[Sprint LG G3] Lurien:
Thanks for sharing your experience. Made me realize I forgot to update TWRP... Fortunately I didn't have any issues flashing ZV8..
[Sprint LG G3] ruthlessptizzle:
yeah i went ahead and installed everything using the modem from the folder listed...everything works perfect. I didn't delete my internal memory since I have many thing and game saves on it......All works perfect....I even unlocked WIFI with no issues as well
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
Multiple wipes are redundant and unnecessary. They don't hurt anything, but if the recovery receives a wipe command, it receives a wipe command and wipes. It isn't like there's an 82% chance that it will wipe, depending on barometric pressure.
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Yes you are right, but....

It seems like this update and BarePop, (Ooops) ;) seem to have like a misfire sometimes. And we need to wipe and install again.

I can't figure it out. But it installs fine and everything works.
[Sprint LG G3] budeone:
Been running for a few days and had no issues. battery has been on par with previous rom. I cant find anything that does not work right.

Did u install the modem?
[Sprint LG G3] iiEatTurdz:
Soo before I flashed to lollipop, on kitkat I was able to use the app "wifi tether router" or something like that for a free and undetectable hotspot. Don't ask me to switch settings around because I've switched settings, tried to use a proxy, tried to use different tether apps etc. but it doesn't work. I'm testing the connection using my ps3 and every single time I try to test the connection, it can't obtain the ip address. Then when I use a static ip, it works but then any and every dns doesn't work. I'm wondering if tethering is like patched away in lollipop or will there be a new mod for it ooorrr? Just tired of having to restore my kitkat nandroid to use my hotspot lol other than that, the rom kicks ass. Every other lg lollipop rom switches the emojis and are all incomplete by mixing b&w emojis with the colored google ones lol thanks for the rom. Sorry if I wrote alot or if I didn't reply right or anything lol this is literally my first post.
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
That is REALLY weird. Only thing that I can think of is the first wipe removes all files except /system/media

Maybe the second one wipes that out too?
[Sprint LG G3] ruthlessptizzle:
Download an app called shortcut master lite.....then search apn....then select hidden menu apn.....then launch....then select internet...then after the word mms type in ,dun

Make sure u put the comma there before the word dun and save it........this method works for this rom ive done it and it unlocks the stock tether with no bsapps.....if u mess up just update ur profile and prl and try again....if u have issues pm me

[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
I don't know if it's a TWRP thing or not. Here's what I've seen, but it is few and far between but does happen on occasion:

1. As was said earlier, if you need to wait longer than 5 min to get the setup screen, you'll need to pull the battery. Then you can try and flash it again dirty, or do all the wipes again and it'll flash. Really weird.

2. Rarely, but when making a backup in TWRP, it'll take forever. I just pulled the battery, rebooted to the ROM, let it sit for a minute or two. Then the backup worked fine in TWRP.

3. Sometimes reception just wont work. So update profile/prl and if it still doesn't work, reboot and update them again. That will fix it. And I'm using the rpm,tz partitions.

I don't recommend pulling your battery while in recovery, but sometimes you just have too. Just be forewarned you may need to use Flashtool to fix it.

I've been using TWRP 2.8.3 I think is the version.

I haven't seen a list, and I forgot to make one as I went along on Lollipop. But for the most part it's pretty similar to KK.

Just do a couple at a time to make sure all is well. Then do a couple more.

I do know that on an install, we have to have the LG Keyboard installed in /system. At least until there is an updated version of it. After install, it can be removed/frozen.

I know, long answer. Oh well..... Lollipop is more of a pain than past Androids.

[Sprint LG G3] Craaaig_:
If I'm having trouble receiving mms is it because I haven't installed anything in regards to the modems? I just wiped and flashed the rom and everything worked great. But my MMS messages I've received get stuck in a perpetual "downloading" phase and end up failing.
[Sprint LG G3] Lurien:
Can sprint detect this??
[Sprint LG G3] latoso:
I used an app called SELinuxmodechanger and used permissive option, somebody posted that and my phone is working great
[Sprint LG G3] fredox19:
Thanks that worked. So does that mean that even the people that took the OTA update has this problem. Why would you have the option to install unknown source apk and then not let you know download it?

Whenever I go to "more" in the settings app, it crashes. Is this a known bug? If not, what can I try to do to fix it?

What does this process actually do? Does it like modify a system file or something so that when you start WiFi tether the phone spoofs MAC addresses? ;) I'm just really curious.

[Sprint LG G3] SebringTech:
Flashed this last night before bed. Let all my apps reinstall themselves over night, knew that'd take a while. Then after waking up I realized I forgot to update my profile so mms wasn't working... But aside from my own mess up the phone seems to run smoother. I have definitely noticed some apps are glitchy it seems - but that's something only the app developers can fix. My phone seems to be hanging a bit and requiring me to pull the battery. I don't believe I've had it happen with any of the "built in" apps, only seems to be the one I've downloaded from the playstore, so I imagine its a compatibility issue with the new OS.

AT ANY RATE - thank you for sharing this - definitely made my day!

After running smoothly for a bit I just noticed today that my Snapchat won't load stories, my Twitter and Tumblr won't load any pictures, and I can't delete files from my internal storage. I'm guessing all these issues are linked together somehow... any clues?

I have this issue, but it involves all custom roms at least on my phone.
[Sprint LG G3] JDinAZ74:
I'm having this same problem, did you find a fix? Anyone else maybe know what might be causing this? Thanks for any info.

To be more specific about the problem. When going into settings, under the network tab below connectivity the more option causes a crash. I honestly don't even remember what options are available in the more section but would still like to know it works if needed.
[Sprint LG G3] spoocobra:
So before you beat me with a stick. Do we need to install the modems, rpm and tz partitions or just the Stock_ZV8_L_Odexed ? I'm going to start fresh and not worry about xposed or anything till it's ready. I'm content with Nova launcher for now... or doing the modems and partitions make a "better" running rom?

Thanks for the great work engine95 and everyone else.

Yeah they can't see the tether usage with that mod I've used 100+GB for past 3 months
[Sprint LG G3] SebringTech:
Anyone else noticing a major delay in SMS? Even updating the PRL and Profile it's not sending texts right. It's almost like its not pulling them down except for when it feels like it. I had a couple hours worth of texts all come down at once... I've tried wiping cache and dalvik, as well as using the built in messenger or GoSMS/Textra

Anyone know if the stock rooted rom would flash over top the latest? I know on some of my other phones once you upgraded you couldn't downgrade. Hoping that's not the case here.

Stock as in VZ6.
[Sprint LG G3] slyest12:
I think the answer is download the SeLinux Changer from Play Store and set it to permissive.

I apologize if this has already been asked /answered but after looking, could not find the answers. In the OP it said to backup the EFS and look in the FAQ, can't find the FAQ. Anyone know where it is? Also, does the rom include the modem or RPZ and TZ partitions? From what I read, they are not, just wanted to confirm this and the fact that even though this is recommended,not required. Also if I run into issues, will I be able to flash back to my custom rom backup? Thanks for your feedback?

Question.....ive had a couple people ask me about unlocking the hotspot in this rom which i recommended using the method with shortcut master lite....it works for some and not others.....is there a reason for it not working for everyone?
[Sprint LG G3] israphil622:
In my situation it wasn't necessary to flash the modems, RPM and TZ partitions. I flashed the ROM and the sound/volume mod and have zero issues. Everything is running smoothly.

I'm wanting to know if anyone that has installed the rpm, tz partitions ran the ROM without them and would share the experience with and without it.

Wait.. Checked out a different rom and it said it had vanir apn and the dev said next to it that he didn't know if hotspot would 100% work while using it. This kitkat rom that I'm on has the stock apn and hotspot works perfectly but when I flash this rom my devices can't obtain ip address. So does this rom have vanir baked in? If it does would it work if I flashed stock apn over it??

Thanks, I am going to flash the partitions also, since it's a zip, I can just flash it via twrp after flashing the rom then? Read somewhere that after flashing rom , let it settle in for a few minutes. Not sure if it's ok to flash the partition right along with the rom or let it boot up first, let it settle, then go into recovery and flash partitions?

One other question when I downloaded the rom zip , the rom size says 0.00 my, the other two zips have such and such mb, did it not download right? I downloaded the rom from four different mirrors and it's the same thing.
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
It's the Stock Sprint Apn. You can't do a first install with Vanir's.

But you can flash it after setup.

I haven't tried it yet.

What I'm noticing with L, is don't get in a hurry with fresh installs. It's doing something with the files. I noticed it in TWRP.

So I would let things settle, then flash the partitions.

I'll check into it. But it could be your browser that's causing it. Try a different one.
[Sprint LG G3] iiEatTurdz:
I just tried it. Man idk what's up. Just tried stock and vanir apn and still can't obtain ip address but my zv4 does it perfectly

Jrummy SD fix for kitkat took care of all my sdcard issues, FWIW. I've got no problems accessing the SD from other apps that aren't specifically given storage permissions (Titanium, for restoring sms and data for a very small number of apps)

I've also experienced the problem with rebooting not actually working from the power button menu. No big deal. Power off and pressing the button to turn it on has worked just fine in its place.

I can't recall where I read it on here, might of been an old rom. But it said after reboot wait at least 5 minutes before touching phone to let it do it's thing. I usually try to do that anyway but thanks for confirming my suspicions as well engine. Would you say proper steps would THEN be 1: flash rom after clean wipe (how many times is your preference), let sit and do it's thing, THEN 2: Flash modem, (do we reboot again or got straight to next step?) THEN 3: Flash partitions and after reboot still let sit and work it's magic?

L and ART, seem to like they're "downtime" more so than prior Androids and dalvic.

It may. But probably not. It's a whole different OS.
