True. I had them at first. Then I did a factory reset and lost them.

But I bought widget locker a while back, so if I absolutely NEED a widget I can. I just have a clock in the status bar, and a weather widget, so to me it's pointless.

Can someone please post a link to the LG flash tool that is NOT Mediafire. Mediafire sucks. Everytime I click the download button it just reloads the page.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Assuming you're rooted, in LG G3 Android Development (non-Original), JasmineROM v4.0 thread, in the OP, click to unhide Downloads section, click to unhide reminder to read Anouncement, download the LG Apps zip. With X-plore File Manager or similar that handles zip files without extracting, navigate to inside the LG Apps zip. Somewhere in there you'll find system/priv-app. Copy the LG Backup apk from system/priv-app inside the zip to your root/system/priv-app folder. Change the permissions to be the same as other apk's in the root/system/priv-app folder, reboot the phone.

Then go to system settings, scroll almost all the way down, choose the settings menu that includes the word Backup, about halfway down or so you'll see the LG Backup.

Or just flash the LG Apps.zip if you prefer that since you'll have to flash the 12B KDZ which will overwrite everything anyway.

If you just Normal (dirty) flash the 12B KDZ then you should be able to OTA to 23B and you'll keep your apps and settings completely. Testing that now and already I've had a hiccup in the process but not necessarily a show stopper. Continuing the testing...
[Verizon LG G3] gregcapps:
NO I'm not rooted and don't plan to, so I need to use the activity launcher method.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Ah, so you already have LG Backup, you just didn't know where it was.
[Verizon LG G3] gregcapps:
how is this helping when I am asking for the LG flash tool? I need to it get back to 12b.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Oh crap, sorry, I guess I have LG Backup too much on my mind. Hang on...I'll upload it.

This is so interesting translated it with bing sometimes they do a better job still playing around with it. Basically it allows you shell access in download mode. Super Su zip fails to push not exactly sure what the error means.<br />

<br />

edit: ROOTED!!! Going to write up instructions on how I did it much more in detail hopefully. <br />

<br />

1.) Download rooting require http://blog.lvu.kr/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/rooting-require.7z<br />

<br />

2) Download the latest SuperSu ZIP thanks to chainfire http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip<br />

place this zip in the root of rooting require folder<br />

<br />

3.) Enable Developer Options by tapping build number Settings> About Phone> Software Information until you are presented with "You are now a developer"<br />

In Developer Options enable USB Debugging (Enable PTP for debugging to work)<br />

Open a command prompt with adb in the root of the rooting require folder<br />

<br />

<br />

4.) Put your device in download mode (while powered off hold volume up and plug in usb until download mode is shown)<br />

<br />

5.) In command prompt in the root of the rooting require folder run the below command<br />

(To find which COM port your device is under open device manager and click ports and your device port is listed under the drop down menu)<br />

<br />

(In root shell execute the below) <br />

Want to revert to stock 12B

OK, here's the deal. I was on 12B, unrooted, stock. Upgraded to 23A using Activities Launcher method. I am happy with it, but want to be able to make the jump to the official, final version when VZW pushes OTA. I am not concerned about losing files or data when I revert to 12B, and will not be rooting.

What is the absolute easiest, safest method to get back to official 12B? I am somewhat of a noob, and am getting very confused trying to sort through all the posts. If someone could please list the files and programs required, along with a short outline of the procedure, it will be greatly appreciated. I am sure that there are many in the same boat as I am.

Thanks in advance for your help.

while on 23b, you need to flash 12b aboot https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934538799 unzip it, its not flashable.

23b bumped boot http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G3/VS985/VS985_23B_Kernel_Bumped_Proper_Autoprime.zip its flashable, but i think you may have to flash the img directly, as you wont have twrp yet.

and last, flash the latest twrp recovery img.

if all goes well you should have working twrp and not be stuck in a bootloop lol

feel free to clean up the steps and re-post if you can after you get it working.
[Verizon LG G3] ohlin5:
Very nice, great find guys! Super awesome to see all you super smart people figuring out this stuff!
[Verizon LG G3] Crsdr37:
So to clarify if your on 23B use flashify to flash the 12B aboot then reboot? Flash 23B bumped? Just making sure to reboot in between each of the files

i dd all the img's directly and didn't reboot in between. i would not recommend using flashify, but its your phone lol im just not a fan of flashify.

Can you please post the DD commands I would need to run I am comfortable with adb. I want the safest possible method.

adb shell
su

yea, i just changed recovery to aboot etc and changed the file name and destination in the second line to match.

23b is just an updated version of vs985's lollipop build
[Verizon LG G3] Mattx28025:
I'm assuming if I want to go back to complete stock KK (10B) it is possible using the 10B kdz file with the LG flash 2014 tool if I'm running the 23A firmware. Again I've been out of the loop for a while and just double checking myself.

Sent from my LG G3
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
The only way to go back to complete stock is to TOT to 10B. From what I've heard/read, the KDZ we have of 10B works as a stock build showing 'official' firmware, but won't be recognized as an upgrade-able build for stock OTAs.
[Verizon LG G3] vzdragon:
you could just get the 10b_3 kdz i heard that's the official software that recognizes OTA's
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Good to know, thanks!

I'd rather kdz given the choice. Doesn't get much easier.
[Verizon LG G3] vzdragon:
yeah kdz is a lot simpler, but TOT is the go to for when you screw up. Not going to lie i've bricked my g3 twice TOT has saved me haha
[Verizon LG G3] Mattx28025:
So I could use the 12b kdz and rollback to be able to get the actual lollipop ota when it's released. Since I'm using 23A, with the WiFi bug I'm starting to get various other bugs as of today (3/9) my keyboards are starting to mess up and auto reverting to the lg keyboard.
