I'll cut to the chase, I wasnt able to preserve root through the OTA to 23A.

I started on 12b, TOT back to 10b, rooted with stump root, preserved root up through 11c and 12b by using SU survivor mode.

I won't be home for a while to test downgrade ability.
[Verizon LG G3] WhistlingCaruso:
Had my spare stock G3, downgraded to 10B, rooted with IORoot, added SuperSU with survivability... went to do the Verizon Hidden Menu and realized I had to take the 12B OTA again. And now, it says no updates are available and that my Software Status is "Modified". Might be stuck on this one. Got a meeting in 10 minutes, then I'll get back at it.
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
The Artemis Trojan is real, and affects Windows browsers, but McAfee's detection of it is based on heuristics and has not been reliable in the past. For example, http://faq.scomis.org/kb12457/

If the rootgenius tool actually useful at all for us here, you would be safe running it in a virtualPC with USB connectivity, then reverting the image changes.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I was thinking of doing just that in VMWare Workstation later. I'm so tired I probably won't be able to fool with any of this after work today.

According to what [MENTION=1211160]HolyAngel[/MENTION] found out, that tool needs a rootable kernel already installed, however.
[Verizon LG G3] luke24:
See that's why I asked.. I wasn't doubting it, just curious on how!
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
hmm, what about flashing nitro's pure stock 12b rooted rom and flashing the stock recovery via flashify and then taking the ota via the working method here? Maybe a lot quicker than kdz/tot-ing...also instant root for 12b (assuming your already unlocked)

Not sure if the deodex will cause a failure or not though...
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I would assume the deodex would cause problems, but I don't really know that.
[Verizon LG G3] 92slammer:
is there a zip to flash stock recovery? if so ill try it in a few hours when i get off work....im on nitros stock but have custom recovery
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
There's a stock recovery image in [MENTION=4132606]bweN diorD[/MENTION]'s reference thread here: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/reference-stock-img-files-t2966958 . It's from 10b - only one I could find. Still looking for a 12b one. Maybe someone on stock 12b rooted w/out bumped recovery can pull one for us . You'll need to manually flash via terminal or through flashify
[Verizon LG G3] lexluthor:
Same exact boat here. 12B, rooted, 1 system file changed (but I have the original) and xposed.

I think if you update, you'll lose root, but that's not confirmed. I think it's also not yet been confirmed if you can rollback after an update.

Probably best to sit on the sidelines for now.

Also, FWIW, I've taken the previous 2 OTAs as stock/rooted and did not lose root (did not even have SU survival mode), so it's pretty easy to OTA through the KitKat updates if you just want to keep root. Hoping it would be the same for the update to LP, but I'm thinking it's not.
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
Can you run this command in terminal emulator: dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/recovery.img

And upload that file here?
[Verizon LG G3] ralmeidao:
not work!! don't spend your time, after several time (and many ...many restarts), my LG G3 VS98512B version, don't have root access with this software....:crying: i follow all steps, but don't work!!
[Verizon LG G3] HolyAngel:
yeah i posted earlier that it requires a custom root enabled kernel, sorry about that.
[Verizon LG G3] lexluthor:
Attached. Hope that helps.
[Verizon LG G3] HolyAngel:
So after all this, it looks like we might be stuck on kitkat until either a kdz is released that we can extract the boot/system img's from to make a custom rom, or another exploit is found to get us root without needing custom recovery.. all because verizon saw fit to remove fastboot mode :crying::crying:
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
he has twrp on, otherwise he wouldnt have been able to flash xposed.
[Verizon LG G3] luke24:
God I hate Verizon. Bunch of uptight bastards
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
Thanks, my thanks button is maxed out for the day!!
[Verizon LG G3] luke24:
Hes on 12B. On KitKat you doing have to flash xposed
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
ohh yea lol, how soon i forgot.

thanks
[Verizon LG G3] Ariac Konrel:
Result?

I follow the steps in the OP and end up with "Do Update Result RESULT_NOT_EXECUTED".

Advice?
[Verizon LG G3] KlausWillSeeYouNow:
Exactly where I'm at right now. Although, how did you get to 12B? I am stuck on 10B. Says no updates available and RESULT_NOT_EXECUTED when trying to move to 11C as a first step.

Could somebody help me move from 10B to 11C, and then 11C to 10B? I am using the OP's instructions but nothing seems to work. If I can get on rooted 12B I can do some more experimentation for us all here, and figure out how to get this thing going. Presently, I am on rooted 10B.
[Verizon LG G3] Ariac Konrel:
I just did the normal system update for 11C, and then 12B.
[Verizon LG G3] KlausWillSeeYouNow:
I wish I could do that. It's saying no new software available. What if I update through the Verizon Update software thingy that comes with Verizon's end-user driver package? Would that preserve root? Probably not, because that's not OTA right?
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
Do this:

-Go to /cache/ using a root file manager

-if this does not exist already, create a recovery folder in in cache and then another folder in the recovery folder called command. It'll look like this: /cache/recovery/command

-rename the file you downloaded to JUST dlpkgfile

-copy it to /cache/fota/

-run this command via adb: adb shell (enter)

-then run: am start -n com.lge.lgfota.permission/com.lge.lgfota.permission.DmcEzUpdateStart (enter)

You could in theory run the command (less the adb shell) in terminal emulator on your phone
[Verizon LG G3] Ariac Konrel:
Odd--

I guess it DID install, because I kind of thought of doing a factory reset and it worked. I am on Android 5.0 (stock) now, great!

I guess I should start pulling things, or whatever.

Dunno, gonna play around with it first.

Edit: "Software status: Modified"

Modified? Was it because I was rooted before?
[Verizon LG G3] KlausWillSeeYouNow:
These instructions were far more clear. It worked!!! Went from 10 to 11. Going to try for 12 and then 23 after my meeting. :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
[Verizon LG G3] macdaddie87:
I am having the same problem I cant even do any of the updates i have tried all methods but still getting RESULT_NOT_EXCLUDED
[Verizon LG G3] maddog241:
What method did you use to revert to 10b?
[Verizon LG G3] macdaddie87:
.tot method after you told me the kdz method doesnt work for upgrades
[Verizon LG G3] maddog241:
Sorry, didn't realize that was you from the other thread.
[Verizon LG G3] macdaddie87:
I Figured it out..

1) Move the file you are going to update with in my instance 10b_to_11c.up to /cache/fota/

2) rename 10b_to_11c.up to dlpkgfile (there may already be one in the so just add .bak to the old one)

3) adb into your device and run the following commands:

adb shell

su

am start -n com.lge.VerizonHiddenMenu/com.lge.VerizonHiddenMEnu.fota.DmcEzUpdateStart

It should Restart and run the update
[Verizon LG G3] aviman123:
just a quick q from a noob. i am on a rooted phone with skydragon rom. If i try to use this method will i lose root?
[Verizon LG G3] Ariac Konrel:
Yes.
[Verizon LG G3] aviman123:
any chance of a rooted rom in the very near future that will just be the stock lp that lg realized
[Verizon LG G3] Lazereth:
Anything is possible, just sit tight and let these folks "mess around" to least get an idea of what they are dealing with. Once they have have something I'm sure we all will know.
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
let me start by saying, this is not directed at anyone specifically.

the purpose of this thread is to get you on lollipop so we can find out if downgrading is possible, and pull some partitions for the devs and who ever else wants them.

trust me when i say this, no one would be helping to get you to lollipop AT THIS POINT, if that were not the goal.

so please, if you got to lollipop, give back to those who helped you by trying to provide the information/files that this hole thread was created for.

these files and information open a lot of doors for future development.

a bunch of people running here to be the first on lollipop is not helpful at all, and is not very respectful to those helping for the purpose of information and files in return.

without their help, no one would be on lollipop right now. i would like to think you should feel some obligation to give back as a gesture of thanks.

thanks
[Verizon LG G3] Ariac Konrel:
Downgrading

Alright! I downgraded my device to 10B, rooted, enabled OTA root survival in SuperSU and took the 11C OTA update. After, I used the 12B OTA update and retained root.

I then followed the steps in the OP, had a bit of trouble, but then I found myself on stock Lollipop.

I pulled the /System and I am uploading it to DropBox for anyone who may want it. I tried pulling a bunch of other stuff, but I obviously cannot due to lack of root access. (Will edit when it uploads, should take about two hours for me.)

And so I was done with Lollipop, so I used the TOT method and downgraded back to Kitkat, to root, unlock and go back to my AOSP ROM.

So yeah, downgrading works just fine!
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
Well said!!

Ok, my wife offered up her g3 as a guinea pig - as she is ok with being locked up if a downgrade fails! I just tested trying the 12b deodex rom/stock recovery flash method I was thinking of, got the update error. So that's a fail! Going to tot her back now, take all the ota's and force this one through AND TEST DOWNGRADING!!

---------- Post added at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------

well, never mind then...looks like we can downgrade!!!
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
thank you

fyi, you should share the file privately from dropbox, if you dont, i assure you they will freeze your account within an hour for excessive bandwidth.

if you wish, i can pm you a link to drop the file into my mediafire acct. its paid, so there will be no issues.
[Verizon LG G3] Ariac Konrel:
Oh, jeez.

Yeah, let's do that with Mediafire so no issues come about!

[Verizon LG G3] schwartz.matthew.e:
So it is confirmed that we can go to stock lollipop and revert back if we want? Can someone guide me to this to make sure I do it right. I've read the thread.. Just so much going on with devs I don't want to do the instructions
[Verizon LG G3] pappingfandas:
My understanding is that they can't revert back at the moment, but they are able to pull the some partitions off with the exception of /boot.img, which the dev's will need to start making custom roms. Hopefully somebody will be able to regain root with an exploit and then we can pull the /boot.img and allow those brave souls who took the update to be free again
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
Yes, you can downgrade....confirmed
[Verizon LG G3] Ariac Konrel:
Yeah, it's the EXACT same method to downgrade/unroot/unbrick.

Boot into download mode, and do the usual LG Flash Tool operations.

In THEORY, KDZ should work fine too, but dunno. I prefer the TOT method anyways.
[Verizon LG G3] schwartz.matthew.e:
Thanks guys. Appreciate it!

---------- Post added at 12:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 AM ----------

[Verizon LG G3] WeThePeople13:
Just a word from someone who has been around since Froyo...... Wait for Devs to work on a solid Rom or upgrade. If you have even a doubt of upgrading to LP just sit back and wait. All of this chatter is exciting but let the people do what they do then once you have seen the guinea pigs approve and there us an actual thread do not ask about how to. Unless you want a 6" brick on your hands.......
[Verizon LG G3] gregcapps:
So this only works if rooted correct? No way to apply the update if stock unrooted?
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
I cannot get this kdz at all. Even when running the 23A update, the official LG flash tool gets very, very angry because I think its wondering how on earth I have that update before it does!! Unless we can hack LG's servers, I don't see how we can get this kdz until it rolls out. Sorry guys, not looking good for a flashable build until after official release.

Here is what happened.

Got a Samsung Galaxy S5 from Rogers and rooted it. Deleted all the stock software for the new stuff and had the phone unlocked. Then all of a sudden for no reason about 3 months later the speaker on the phone stopped working. I tried everything, so I factory reset the phone, and now I can't even get past the first stage of the setup because I deleted the stock keyboard.

The phone doesn't give me an option to enter any of my credentials in.
