As far as the OTA file, more than likely the process will remain 100% the same. Use Activity Launcher with the 23B.up file (renamed from it's original filename and extension) in the folder SoftwareUpdate on the internal storage. You'll have to be on 12B, just as is the case when upgrading to 23A.
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Oh yea, I'll definitely update when we can flash 23B. No clue when that will be. The devs are trying their best with the source but it's doesn't look promising yet. I'll report back, regardless of whether it's official or custom stock. The latter would be preferable...SkyDragon Lollipop!
[Verizon LG G3] Ignite023:
Can nandroid backup be restored after this method back to 10b rooted?

:good:
[Verizon LG G3] gatorstew:
Thanks, yeah, I'm now back on Stock 12B. I just didn't feel like messing with the Wi-Fi bug. I also found a notification light bug when using Pushbullet, so just as well... Plus this way I'll be ready to go straight into upgrading to 23B using AL.
[Verizon LG G3] kevman8396:
I followed all of the above steps and did a factory reset but my Gmail still will not come through automatically. I tried sending an email to myself and it does not show up in notifications at all. Any suggestions?
[Verizon LG G3] gatorstew:
You talking about Gmail sync over WiFi? Wouldn't work for me and a few others no matter what we did. Either leave WiFi off or just live with it.
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Regrettably, that was spoken too soon. Later in the thread you will see it didn't fix the problem. I tried everything I (and others) could think of to no avail. I'm back on SkyDragon for now.
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
There is a reported update to 23B posted!

I say "reported" because I haven't had the chance to try it yet. The file size is right and it's downloading to my PC at home. I hope to give it a whirl tonight. He linked to the guide in the OP (thanks), so the method should be the same.

Fingers crossed! Thanks [MENTION=3727492]JackpotClavin[/MENTION]!
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Added download link to OP and edited topic title to reflect 23B. I'll be upgrading shortly.

EDIT - KDZ'ed back to 12B. Update in progress.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
For the records, I'm getting an MD5 hash of 8DE4E8DA6E8F1D3B438FB0F118C945D1 for the 23B OTA file, if anyone needs it or if you'd like to put it in the OP, @ hokiealumnus.
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Will do as soon as I'm at a PC, thanks. I will also upload it to AFH just in case that file disappears.

I'm very pleased to say 23B is up and running on my phone, complete with a successful Wi-Fi Gmail notification test!

Edit - Test was a fluke, Wi-Fi sync fails still on 23B.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Good to hear! I'm restoring apps and data with LG's Backup on 23B as I type.
[Verizon LG G3] RaginJ:
Am I able to upgrade straight to 23b from 23a or do I need to revert back to 12b first?
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
At least one other person tried and failed. I don't think it sees 23A as an upgradeable version. You will likely need to KDZ back to 12B.

Side note: only apps can be restored from 23A LG backups. It is a different OS version so it won't let you select anything else.
[Verizon LG G3] RaginJ:
Is anyone on 23b still not able to open the voicemail app? Or has that been fixed?
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
I can open it. I don't use it so I won't go past "Continue", but it launches fine.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
My restore from 23A brought my home screen and the LG weather app settings too. I have to re-edit the notification toggles order and unfortunately it doesn't re-disable the bloat. ? What kind of things didn't it restore for you?

Someone reported that VVM worked fine in 23B.
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
It didn't allow me to check anything other than apps. Weird. I'm all back up now though, so making a new one for whenever we get a KDZ, followed by SkyDragon 23B. :)
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It even seems to be restoring everything on my wife's phone under 23B. I backed it up under Jasmine ROM v4.0.

I was mistaken, at least my LG backup of my wife's JasmineROM's phone would not restore completely, and possibly hardly at all.

I'm re-doing her phone to restore the JasmineROM's nandroid, then Normal (dirty) flash 12B stock KDZ, and OTA up to too 23B to keep her configuration.

For anyone who notices that if you try to backup more than 4 GB at a time, at least to external SD, it says that it can't do that. Just unselect, for example, media and have it do a separate backup just for media after. It must assume its FAT32, which doesn't handle a single file larger than 4 GB. I'm sure I have mine formatted ExFAT.

I also tested backing up to internal, moving the backups manually to external in a file manager, and restoring from external.
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Glad it's working for you guys. Maybe I messed something up in my backup. Never know now; I deleted that one and replaced it a few minutes ago. I don't backup media because it's already on my sd card.

I'm just as happy as can be to get notifications on Wi-Fi. I've gotten four or five emails separately now, so it's no fluke. My only complaint was fixed and now it's darn near perfect.

Edit - Nope...those four emails were all that came through. Posts below explain, but I wanted to edit this to reflect the Wi-Fi sync issue is NOT fixed for me.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It did restore my home button order and default color, although when I looked in settings, it still showed as white was selected. Except for that, my 10 minute timeout setting that Google restores, and my lockscreen shortcuts, all other settings menu things were not restored.

[Verizon LG G3] gatorstew:
Man that's not good. I may hold off for now on that upgrade. Didn't you say it was working yesterday?
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Yes, I waited until I had received four emails, over an hour from first to last before reporting. Something happened to make it not work but I have no idea what it could have been, because I didn't change a thing.

This is immensely frustrating. The only reason I got your quote email quickly was because my tablet dinged.
[Verizon LG G3] freebird_78:
Yeah, I can unfortunately confirm this too. I'm coming off a completely clean update too. Had the wife send a test IM and email. Never arrived till I "asked". Had her send another. Nada. Turned off WiFi, and they immediately came in via 4G.

Also, played with "aggressive WiFi handoff" in dev settings. All it did was slow WiFi down to a crawl.
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Same here...as soon as I turn Wi-Fi off they come right through.
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Omg, I think I figured it out! At least for Gmail. What an obscure problem!

Go into Gmail settings / your email address / manage labels. My "Important" label was set to NOT sync, which I did not do. As soon as I enabled sync for the last 30 days my email showed right up, on Wi-Fi.

Will keep an eye on it and report back whether that's a permanent fix. Sure hope so.

Edit - To be clear that had not prevented email from coming through on 4G, so I'm not Sure why it would matter on Wi-Fi, but it seems to have worked.

Edit II - A test email was just successful. Will tentatively call it working, and I'll report back after giving it a good while for email from multiple sources.

Edit III - Nope. Test email was a fluke. Second one and multi others failed. Toggle Wi-Fi off and they come thru in seconds.
[Verizon LG G3] freebird_78:
This is definitely NOT my problem.
[Verizon LG G3] maddog241:
I am still on 12B and FWIW I looked at my gmail settings. My important label is set to not sync yet I have no issue on Wi-Fi. Sorry for the disappointing news.

23A to official VZW OTA

Quick question. I did the upgrade to 23A a few days ago and couldn't be happier. If I just stay on 23A will I be able to get the VZW Lollipop upgrade when they release it. Or will I need to do the downgrade and then upgrade to 23B in order to appear official to VZW? I don't want to be left in "no man's land" with 23A.
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Ah...that is indeed disappointing. Sent another test email that doesn't seem to be coming through. Not sure why it worked for a bit then stopped. Curse this annoying bug.

Edited my post to reflect failure.

Verizon never released 23A, so it won't look for it to upgrade. You will have to downgrade to official 12B to get OTA updates.

We don't even know for sure if 23B is official yet. I sure hope not with this Wi-Fi sync problem.
[Verizon LG G3] Juancho10:
Is there a way to use mobile hotspot? Verizon crap
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Only if you either pay for it or wait for the phone to be rooted and go that route, if it still works that way.
[Verizon LG G3] DerrikMo:
Well, I might just go back to 12B and wait for the final OTA. Who knows, the way VZW operates they might be on 23Z before they officially release their Lollipop.
[Verizon LG G3] sddenizen:
I have downloaded the 23B update, renamed the file 23B.up and placed it in numerous places on my device (both internal storage and external storage) but when I use Activity Launcher and go to "com.lge.lgfota.permission" and sub menu "com.lge.lgfota.permission.DmcEzUdateStart", I get a "starting activity" screen that lasts for about 3 seconds and then disappears. I'm stumped and any help is appreciated. Thank you.
[Verizon LG G3] jthompson0019:
Make sure your folders are labeled correct. That was my issue. Has to say SoftwareUpdate
[Verizon LG G3] sddenizen:
Thanks, the seems to have worked. I got the black screen and am now updating.

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------

Well, I thought everything was good, but when I got to the update screen, after updating for a minute or two I got an error message (don't remember number) and had to remove battery. Now when I start phone I get the LG opening screen with a small box in the upper left corner that briefly appears (the disappears and screen goes dark) which says Boot certification error, Secure boot error!

Help, have I bricked my phone? When I go into the System Recovery menu every option takes me back to the starting screen with the small box.

The error that appears briefly is Boot Certification Verify (not error)

Foxfi works
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Can you get to Download mode? With the phone off, and a USB cable plugged into a PC but not plugged into the phone, hold the volume up button down while plugging the USB cable into the phone. Keep the volume button pressed down and momentarily should see blue text in the middle loading Download mode, then let go of the volume up button.

If you can do this, use LG Mobile 2014 to flash the 12B KDZ file.
[Verizon LG G3] sddenizen:
Phone is completely useless. That's the bad news. Good news: because it's under warranty, Vzw will replace it for free. :)
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Sorry to hear that. I never had an experience like that; I'm sure it's unpleasant. Wonder why it happened?
[Verizon LG G3] linkmania:
Bro. I dont know english very well. but... .... I had in the mobile 11c and upgrade to 12b.. an then go to 23a.. but in this moment i lost my 4G LTE conections. only has 3g and hspda.. just this problem, the other is great. thanks
[Verizon LG G3] Cyber Warrior:
Can someone help me out.. I'm in the process of downgrading to 10b..first step. I've been sitting at 60% for almost 10 minutes..does it normally take this long? I also keep getting this pop up with ?? marks. The left box cancels..the right box just keeps opening another pop up. This is the 3rd time I'm trying.. Still hangs on 60% every time.
[Verizon LG G3] Coycaine:
Try not clicking either. Just let it do it's thing.
[Verizon LG G3] Cyber Warrior:
Tried.. Currently at 20 minutes now. The fact that it says PC???USB?? I'm thinking it may be my cable..bout to try a different one. Drivers were successfully installed so..?
[Verizon LG G3] Tech_Savvy:
leave it be...i've done this a couple time...sometimes it takes a couple minutes and I've had time where it sat verious spots for 20 minutes before it proceeded....
[Verizon LG G3] Coycaine:
I would also try a redownload of the kdz then.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Once it starts flashing, don't answer any dialogs just draw them out of the way and leave it alone. Is that the official LG Mobile tool or LG Mobile 2014? The latter is easier due to not having to have the official one download the KDZ every time you try; you download the KDZ separately and provide it to LG Mobile 2014.

If it's the former and you still have it running, you can save the KDZ that it downloaded. Under most normal circumstances, it deletes the KDZ when the program is done with it.

Excuse any of this you already know.

Hope it helps.

Also try rebooting the PC, use a different USB port, use USB 2.0 port instead of USB 3.0, try a different cable if you have one.
[Verizon LG G3] Cyber Warrior:
Thanks guys..seems to have been the drivers. One trick I've learned from past experiences is to reboot the computer after installing drivers. .that seems to have fixed it. Hopefully the rest goes smooth.

Oh and its Flash Tool 2014..following the op. Besides root this is my first time tinkering with an lg phone.
[Verizon LG G3] Coycaine:
You would think by now the OEMs would have made the driver situation easier for us....Nope lol....Glad you got it!
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:

[Verizon LG G3] Cyber Warrior:
Well looks like I'm stuck on 10b.

I was able to downgrade to 10b..but trying to upgrade to 12b wouldn't go through for some reason..I really wish this LG flash tool was more specific in it's errors other then throwing up a bunch of question marks. The upgrade would start and then the progress bar would completely just disappear.

Tried a few times with reboots in between. What's worse is I can't even accept the ota to 12b because it fails. Shouldn't the downgrade to 10b put me back to 100% stock? ..not sure why the ota is failing on me..I even tried a factory reset with no luck. I'm forever stuck on this old azz firmware until I can figure this out :(
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Hmm. 10B should put you back to stock, yes. I would also try re-downloading the 12B KDZ, becuase if the flash tool works on 10B, it should work for 12B.

The flash tool has one error that pops up. Just leave it alone, it should flash fine and then the program will crash when your phone is booting up (at least it does on my machine) after a successful flash. That's all normal and it flashes your phone as it should. I'm pretty sure they're question marks because that's written in Korean.
[Verizon LG G3] Coycaine:
If you can get on 10b why cant you just OTA to 12b? And if thats what you're trying, why not just flash the 12b kdz instead?

edit: sorry didnt read the last part. Like hokie said if 10b kdz works then 12b kdz should work. Try another download if you havent already.
[Verizon LG G3] Cyber Warrior:
Ota downloads but fails on install..even though I'm on unmodified stock 10b straight off the kdz..not sure why it's giving an error. Its similar to if I had a rooted device..which I,don't anymore.

12b kdz is not upgrading for me..as mentioned..the progress bar hits 100% the first round..then hits 2% and goes blank with ???. I'm gonna try redownloading the file when I get home..I had to step out for a bit but I'm currently reading through every page an thread looking for ideas.
[Verizon LG G3] Coycaine:
Yeah thats your best bet I think at this point. Really hope you get it fixed.
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
you cant upgrade off the 10b kdz because its not an official build.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
The KDZ file of 10B is 10B_01. The actual OTA was 10B_03, which is only available for us to flash in TOT format. 10B_01 can't apply OTAs at all because it's not the precisely same version as what the OTA expects. The easiest way to keep root when re-upgrading to 12B from 10B rooted is to use [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION]'s Flash2 zip files for system, boot and modem to flash the 12B img files of those three individually from TWRP which once rooted with SuperSU installed and binary updated on 10B, you can use TWRP Manager from the Play Store to download and flash the latest. I've verified it's already bump'd and working. Or use Flashify from the Play Store, and extract the img file from the latest TWRP zip file and flash it from Flashify.

Edit:

...or what [MENTION=4132606]bweN diorD[/MENTION] said ^^^ LOL!

Had a terrible time getting the driver to work in "Download Mode" on my Win 7 machine.

Eventually got it working with this latest "VZW" specific driver from LG Support Site: LG_VZW_United_WHQL_v2.20.0.exe

I was on 23A with the wifi bug.

I rolled back to 12B with the LG Flash Tool and then went up to 23B via Activity Launcher.

I'm on 23B! But still no connectivity to exchange, gtalk, or gmail over wifi however Chrome works fine.

It looks like the wifi data send/recv lights up but nothing happens.
[Verizon LG G3] Cyber Warrior:
Ok.. slowly getting there.

I was able to get upgraded to 12b.. downloaded a different mirror.. guess the first was a bad download. Had everything up and running unti I went to use Activity Launcher to update to 23b. It soft bricked my phone upon boot up.. the update failed. ...guess I had a modified system still.

Next and hopefully last.. Im using the tot to get back to bone dry stock.. accepting the 12b ota from Verizon and then using activity launcher to push the 23b update. If that doesnt do it I dont know what will.

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 PM ----------

Well phone looks to be bricked.. I cant even get to download mode. I get a secure booting error unverified and the notification light blinks blue n amber.. Any hope of recovering from this? Power + volume down still works but not sure if I can go anywhere from there or what to do.

I think by renaming the update to 23A.up instead of 23B.up is what screwed up my phone.. might want to add that to the op.
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Darn, that sucks...I'm sorry. The file name shouldn't matter though. It is the extension that makes the difference; at least AFAIK.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I would agree. I doubt if that has anything to do with it.

Sorry to hear about the trouble!

Oh Dear Lord!

[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
[MENTION=4936949]hokiealumnus[/MENTION], even though we know these instructions are fine and many have upgraded no problems, in view of that we now have root on Lollipop, JasmineROM_v5.0 will be released today for download and installation through TWRP, and last but most importantly some people are likely hard bricking their devices lately, I think you should consider putting a huge note at the top of your OP noting that people have bricked their phones and recommending people just install 23B through TWRP.

What do you think?
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Yes, absolutely, it can't hurt. I'll do so later this morning as soon as I'm at a PC.

[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
You can backup everything using LG Backup, then KDZ back to 12B and re-update.

Some have had that after a factory reset on 23B and we have no idea why. Best bet is to do the same thing I recommend to remark900.

However, with stock 23B bumped builds imminent, if I were either of you, what I would do is go back to 10B, root and install bumped twrp, install the ROM of your choice and chill until SkyDragon or Jasmine Lollipop comes out. This path has dangers. I'd hate to see anyone that didn't *need* an official build brick their phone.
[Verizon LG G3] Casey Walt:
Thanks for the help but i fixed it... 2rd factory reset fixed it
[Verizon LG G3] remark900:
Thanks.

Can you go straight to 12b or do you have to go to 10b then to 12b?
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
If you don't need to root and install apps from TiBu using 10B, you can start by CSE flashing 12B, then applying the update.
