By the way do either of you know when the next bad release is comming out??
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No problem! I think 24A will come out about a year from now.

Seriously, I have no clue. I'd rather have a longer wait and no more leaks, though, unless it's at least a leak of 5.1.
[Verizon LG G3] agh1701:
I agree I want the next release to be the best possible. I really need to sync my email.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Have you already tried the fix that works for some built into the Jasmine ROM v6.01+, or is it not working for you? For what it's worth, I've been one of the lucky ones that neither my work nor home WIFI causes me any issues, but I'm sure it just depends on the configuration of the router.
[Verizon LG G3] agh1701:
No I haven't but I will look into it.

My problem is with nine email and 23a, b, c. it was not limited to Wi-Fi, it would not sync on wireless data for two hours. when I got home and hit my home Wi-Fi everything synced perfectly. so I am not sure if it is nine email or a combination. I tested 23c from 10b.tot->23c no root

I wonder if the new 23c_01.kdz has a new modem in it?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Has Nine Email been updated since Lollipop came out?

I'll find out as quickly as possible about the modem in the KDZ. Man it's nice to be on my work's uber-fast Internet. KDZ downloaded in about a minute.

I've been checking my phone and my tablet's IMEIs at http://lg-firmware-rom.com/ every day. They just released this (to my IMEI, anyway) sometime since earlier yesterday. Now they can constipate [SIC] on a 5.1 OTA. Thanks for the head's up, been lacking sleep and taking forever to get caught up, so didn't have time to look at anything on XDA yesterday that wasn't a response to me. :D

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 AM ----------

The 23C_01 modem.img from the KDZ is 7 MB smaller than the 23C OTA modem.img we had. Potentially good news for those who were having trouble (not me). Amazing that it can be 10.9375% smaller, maybe they had all sorts of old junk in there that needed cleaning out, or something to help them debug/verify it was working like it should.

Hello I am really really sorry to post something because I am newbie, but I need to know the following, I am not root user, im use the LGFlash tool to return to 12b, now I would put the official version 23c, i use the Activity Launcher to upgrade, someone could upload the 23C_01 if that there are sub-versions form 23c.

Quick question

I recently got the update for lollipop. The problem is that I uprooted my phone and tried downloading 5.0 from Verizon to no avail. I factory reset my phone and tried again and got the same error message which was "err: 0x1117008". After some quick googling, I realized the software somehow knew I rooted my phone (probably because I deleted info center, haha). How can I download this update without access to the Verizon hidden menu?
[Verizon LG G3] deron37129:
Are you on 12b
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Flash the 12B KDZ with LG Fl Mobile Tool 2014, then either:

Take the OTA to 23C_01.

or

Root 12B with the new root script, flash the latest TWRP with Flashify from the Play Store, flash whatever Lollipop ROM you want.
[Verizon LG G3] SwaySwayJoy:
Bump'd?

I couldn't find this post but my question is - How do I add TWRP on rooted 23a?

I used activity launcher to get on 23a then used the script to root it though I'm not quite sure where to go from there if I

want to flash another rom.
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
-go back to 12b

-root

-twrp

-flash one of the stock roms to upgrade to l with twrp

-flash any other rom you want

[Verizon LG G3] rwkenny:
Can do this without root?

Ok so maybe I am missing something in my reading but is there a way to load the official lollipop update without rooting my device. I haven't been paying attention to rooting lately. My Samsung nexus was last device I rooted. I just want my phone updated but am no longer using it on verizon network. I have it on att and so can no longer get OTA's. Any ideas for me?

Thanks all.

Search for the 23C kdz and flash via LG flash tool on a PC. Make a LG backup first as you will wipe your device in the process.

[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I uploaded the official 12Bto23C.up OTA file, it's here I think in the General section. Put it in your INTERNAL storage in a folder named SoftwareUpdate, install Activity Launcher from the Play Store, run it and find the OTA activity to start the process. I think it takes about 10 minutes.

This'll keep all your data. If you run into problems you'll likely need to do the flash the 23C_01 KDZ [MENTION=5790674]Mattx28025[/MENTION] mentioned. Move everything from internal storage that you want to keep, too. Flashing KDZs in CSE mode will wipe internal storage, too.

Where did you see a 24a build?
[Verizon LG G3] macdaddie87:
I dont think its flashable because its a tar.gz

I went ahead and looked at it and i dont think it has a system update just aboot, modem,laf, recovery,etc

http://downloads.codefi.re/illegalargument/LG_VS985/
[Verizon LG G3] gregcapps:
Hopefully it's a Wi-Fi sync fix finally.
[Verizon LG G3] macdaddie87:
As much as I have been seeing over on the G4 forums it looks like lg is beginning to lock down the download mode pretty well. That means root is very difficult to obtain. I think LG is begining to try hard to prevent root and just give people the option to unlock their bootloaders. This way you have to forfeit your warrenty and LG has proof because you agreed to it. Then if you brick your phone LG wont replace it. This might not be an update we want to take, especcially is its going to flash a new download mode and recovery.

Oh and wifi sync is not an issue just disable ipv6 on your router and isp
[Verizon LG G3] gregcapps:
Can the g4 not access download mode?

And Wi-Fi sync is an issue. I don't have ipv6 enabled and it still won't work. Even if it did at home what about all the routers I might use that I can't control? So yes it is an issue
[Verizon LG G3] agh1701:
It looks like flashable partitions. Someone will probably need to bump the boot(Kernel).

Edit: It looks like there is no system partition. Not usable.
[Verizon LG G3] gregcapps:
why would an official kernel need to be bumped?
[Verizon LG G3] agh1701:
So that it will boot on our unlocked TWRP phones.
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
There will be no unlock from LG or Verizon for the vs985, you can bet the house on that.

Most likely, why only those partitions are in the update, they are patching current exploits.

10-1, they will try to make the aboot unrevertable, then it will be bye bye to twrp if you take it.

[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Your system can't be modified to take OTAs. Has to be fully stock, never rooted and of course no custom recovery or custom kernel.

Technically, as far as I know you can HAVE been rooted but have since unrooted (still with stock, not custom recovery or custom kernel) to take OTAs up to 12B, but starting with the (I forget which) 12B to 23C_01 OTA or 23C to 24B OTA, the system can't ever have been modified.

Thanks for your help
[Verizon LG G3] PiousInquisitor:
What are you trying to accomplish? Seems to me you are way overcomplicating a super simple thing here.

Are you shooting for the latest update completely stock and unrooted? Or stock rooted? A date with mad max?
[Verizon LG G3] ranaAz:
Yes i am trying to flash latest latest lollipop. Rooted(Preferably) or unrooted. I figured i have to OTA to do that?.

That's why trying to upgrade sequentially
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
Then you need to flash back to pure stock (KDZ or TOT).

The OTA requires the following:

Unmodified system - do not root!

Stock recovery - do not flash TWRP!

If your current image on your phone is currently rooted and/or has TWRP installed, then you must flash back to pure stock via TOT or KDZ first.

Once you've flashed back to pure, unrooted stock, then you may accept the OTA. DO NOT ROOT UNTIL THE OTA HAS BEEN COMPLETELY APPLIED.

Once you have applied the OTA, then you may root, and then you have to look for an app on the App Store called "(VS985) LG G3 AutoRec-Lollipop" to install TWRP on your rooted LP device. This takes care of a lot of steps you have to do in order to flash TWRP correctly. It automates a lot of background tasks for you, so I suggest using that to install TWRP.

But, if a new OTA comes out, you'll have to flash back to unrooted stock before you can take it again.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No need to start with 10B. Start with the 12B KDZ instead. FYI the 10B KDZ is 10B_01, which was a leak - not official - so you can't OTA from it. You would be able to from the 10B_03 TOT, though, since that was the release build.

Also, there's two ways of applying the OTAs:

1. Actually just use System Update in Settings to manually check for and download/install OTAs.

2. "Activity Launcher" in the Play Store. There's a FOTA EZ Update / System Update Activity listed under All Activities near the bottom of the list. Put the OTA file in a folder in the root of your sdcard, naming the folder "SystemUpdate". I think the actual OTA filename doesn't matter, although for example, 23C.up is a common style of naming it.

Note that I have NOT been able to get the 24B OTA to manually apply using the OTA file I captured using the same method using Activity Launcher, which worked with 23C. I've tried numerous times.

Advise: If you have a Verizon SIM card, just let it download the OTAs via WIFI and get the OTAs that way, and start with 12B so there's less OTAs to bother with.
[Verizon LG G3] PiousInquisitor:
I'd install twrp and flash one of the stock rooted Roms we already have. Would save heaps of time.
[Verizon LG G3] ranaAz:
Thanks guys for the help.

I think i have some clarity now. I'll give it a go.

Hope it'd work

[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I don't have the 10Bto12B OTA file handy, otherwise I'd give you a link, and then you could manually start the OTA process.

The easiest way for you would be to root with the Stump app in brute force mode (only works on 10B), then (again, only on 10B) use TWRP Manager from the Play Store to install the latest version of TWRP, then follow a ROM's instructions to flash. If you only want to be on 12B, there are old versions of SkyDragon and JasmineROM in the Development section. If you want 35B or 46A, I recommend [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's ROMs in the same section. 35B runs really great. 46A is pretty nice too, but [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's VS985 v2.0 35B ROM is really, really nice. I don't know if newer modems will work as well for you, though.

[Verizon LG G3] IllegalArgument:
Just a quick update, I've uploaded all three of the OTA packages to http://downloads.codefi.re/illegalargument/LG_VS985/ (also linked in the main post). I'm going to take a look now to see if there's an easy way to start the OTA update without root access. The reason the VerizonHiddenMenu method needs root is that it requires one of the com.lge.something permissions (I can't remember which right now), which the shell user doesn't have. Hopefully that can be bypassed.

[Verizon LG G3] invisiblek:
In addition to a system dump, if someone (once rooted, etc, etc) could get a few other partitions, that'd be awesome.

All of these reside in /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/ and would be dumped the same way as system, just replace 'system' with whatever partition you're dumping:

example: dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img

aboot <-- bootloader

boot <-- system kernel/ramdisk

laf <-- lg's recovery/bootloader partition

modem <-- baseband

recovery <-- recovery kernel/ramdisk

rpm <-- resource/power management firmware

sns <-- sensor firmware

tz <-- trustzone firmware

If someone could grab these while they're at it, that'd be helpful :good:

As soon as someone posts confirmation of downgrade-ability and if root is retained, I'll go through this process and pull it all.

[Verizon LG G3] ahmadaamer6:
You will need to keep root via survival mode in SuperSU and update to 11C then, 12B via software updater in settings then, do the 23A update method. The update to LP is really hard. If you do it and get LP you may never be able to downgrade and get root for a while. Keep that in mind. Let me know if it works.
[Verizon LG G3] SyCoREAPER:
All this effort. Wouldn't it just be easier to get the code from the Camera, recompile it, and install it in CM 12? That's the only benefit I saw from factory firmware.

I also haven't seen anything regarding this yet, can the update be applied while either bumped or regular TWRP is installed?
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
Can you test the ability to downgrade?
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
No. The OTA can only be applied via the stock recovery. TWRP is not stock recovery.
[Verizon LG G3] SyCoREAPER:
So why all this effort if there is a memory leak? I am not trolling, just want to make sure I am following along with everything here
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
Because some what LP now, regardless of the bugs.

Plus, if we were to get 5.1, we'd need to get to 5.0.1 first anyways so might as well see what our options are.
[Verizon LG G3] agh1701:
Not today. I need to stop screwing with my phone and actually use it. I do not see why a TOT would not work because it restores the TZ so all partitions should match.

[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Noone's reported being able to keep root yet. Just didn't want you to go to too much trouble for nothing since without root you won't be able to dump anything. But if you don't mind trying it doesn't hurt! :)

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

Like a Samsung Knox eFuse (electronic/binary fuse). Once it's "blown", you can't reset it. On Samsung Knox devices, it just says Warranty Bit = 1 instead of 0 if someone looks at the right place. In our case maybe such a thing would do something more drastic such as brick our device, like Samsung Knox also does if people tried to downgrade their bootloader and modem to an older version.
[Verizon LG G3] WhistlingCaruso:
Thanks for the heads up--I might at least be able to test downgrade if I can't keep root. Running Flash Tool now from 12B to 10B. Will have an update soon-ish.

Sorry, for the short off topic here but got a brand new G3 (came as 12B as you'd expect) yesterday, my goal for right NOW is I wanna be rooted to run AOSP. Once this gets ironed out, I'm game.

If it's 23a, please email yourself the link then pm me with the link.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I wouldn't do that if I were you, but that's your choice. As I posted earlier, McAfee claims it has a Trojan virus inside it. My work PC deleted something (an exe I think) that extracted when I ran the program. @HolyAngel reports that it does give root, and I trust him, but none of us know if it's a false positive virus report, these days often tools made to do things we're not supposed to be able to do are labeled as hack tools by anti-virus programs and treated like viruses.

Best way is to downgrade to 10B, root using Stump.apk, use Flashify or TWRP Manager to install custom recovery and flash whatever ROM you want.

If you want to take a chance of your Windows PC getting a Trojan virus, that's up to you.

I don't recall anyone saying they got a system dump, but maybe I just don't remember.

Oh yeah, I remember. Good question. Perhaps they rooted some other way or used some other method to try to keep root. Only time will tell.
[Verizon LG G3] HolyAngel:
actually, just found rootgenius needs a root enabled kernel(boot.img) in order to give root access. so won't work for completely stock 12b. My bad on that.

While dd may be blocked, adb may still be able to pull a system dump with its backup, since system is readable.

Also, any 'root' tools will show as a virus/Trojan. Not saying there isn't one, but the fact that it flags as one doesn't mean it is one
