Cool. I'm really curious, and I want to know what the result will be. I'll most likely .kdz some time tonight when I get home from work, and I'll let you know how it goes. I just have a sneaky suspicion that I somehow inadvertently mixed up some of my files (my desktop is a mess), and that's what caused it. Anyway, I'll find out later tonight.

Personally man. Xdabbeb posted everything on a new thread. You can just flash the boot img, kernel and bootstack amd have the same thing without the headache and it'll be rooted

[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
I decided to restore my twrp backup of 39A OTA before kdz'ing, and it was still having the wi-fi problem. Next I wiped my data partition, and wifi started working again.

I thought it was my TiBu restore that caused the problem, so I decided to restore using TiBu again, and wi-fi is still working. The only thing I didn't restore was my mms, and phone logs with the Helium app, but I don't think those would cause the wi-fi issue. So, in the end, I don't know why it wasn't working before, but now it is.

Custom Recovery

Thanks for this OTA. I installed the manual OTA and all went well and it works perfectly. I then saw that someone came up with a root for the Manual OTA and I did that and everything is working great. My question is there a way to install a custom recovery on the Manual OTA now that we have root. Thanks again for all the hard work to make this possible.
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
You could just turn the phone off and use the factory reset key command (the twrp key command usually).
[Verizon LG G2] sefirosu0522:
Trying to removed this but not having luck. I have installed drivers but LG Flash Tool 2014 will not run. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[Verizon LG G2] dtomlin:
After you connect the phone in download mode you will have to wait until drivers are installed for the pc to recognize the phone. It could take several minutes.
[Verizon LG G2] sefirosu0522:
Thanks. I've had the phone plugged in for 15 minutes at the most. Should I leave it in longer? Device manager keeps seeing the following:

Other Devices:

CDC Serial

LGE Android Phone

Portable Devices:

VS980 4G

Below are the drivers I have installed on my computer:

LG United Driver version 3.12.3.0

LG Verizon United Driver version 2.14.1

Am I missing a certain driver? Maybe that's why it's not moving to COMS & LPT? I've never had an issue using the flash tool until I went with 39A.
[Verizon LG G2] detonation:
I had an older version of the Verizon driver (2.13 I think) and had issues getting it to show up as a com device in download mode once I was on 39A. I uninstalled the previous driver and installed the latest from lg's site (2.20) and it then worked.

Here's the new driver link:

http://tool.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=UW00520120427

If that doesn't work, go here and in the "MANUALS & DOWNLOAD" section click the "software update" tab and the driver is there as well:

http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-VS980

Also, I don't think you need the regular LG United Driver - I didn't have it installed and had no issues KDZ'ing or rooting 39a

For the amount of times that post has been already linked and explained, it might be worthwhile to post a new topic/guide with the contents of your text file so it's easy for people to find
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
I would but I don't really want to create/maintain a thread.

Plus, most people will end up kdz'ing anyway, or those who were more patient will just install the bootstack, and the 39A Rom because they waited it out, and never did the OTA :good:
[Verizon LG G2] doublej713:
Kind of hate to bring it up now, but the 26A tot file can be found here or here. The links still appear to be functional. This has saved me a significant amount of time. Hopefully you won't need it though.

This stock 39A OTA gave me terrible battery life.

VZW LG G2
[Verizon LG G2] jonstrong:
Interesting jesssiii - I was having bad battery life on my VS980 running unrooted stock 27a, and got to the point where I found a couple of teardown videos (e.g., iFixit.com), ordered a new battery from Amazon, and installed the new battery (not fun, but not horrible with this phone if you have the right tools - plastic spudger, flexible spring/stainless steel pry tools, tweezers, etc). Soon after I installed the stock 39A forced OTA -- and found that battery life seemed pretty terrible as well. Standby / sleep battery drain was excellent, but there were also a load of wakelocks, and screen-on time was dreadful.

Anyway -- a couple of days and charging cycles later, and I'm suddenly seeing MUCH better battery life (and I've also got 39A rooted as of last night). Don't know if the battery required a few charging cycles, or something else has changed, but over the last couple of days the phone seems happy to provide around 30 or 35 hours life along with 3+ hours screen on time. NOT as good as what I had on stock jellybean a year ago, but the improvement over the past 48 hours has been remarkable. Curious to see what it does tomorrow...
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
Thanks for the feedback, Jon. I did only use it for 2 days, but the difference was significant enough to be very noticeable. Usually get to my car after work in the 80's, today it was in the 60's. I installed twrp, flashed the 39A bootstack and xdabbeb's 39A kernel then backed up when I got home. Now I'm back on JPC's CM12, lol.

VZW LG G2
[Verizon LG G2] jonstrong:
I'll be curious to see if battery life on this improves any more. In the meantime, I had been so frustrated with battery life using this new - cheap - battery (approx $10 on Amazon) that I looked on Amazon again and ordered another one that appears potentially to be a real LG oem replacement. No longer seems urgent, so I may hold off doing surgery on the phone again for now. If it doesn't improve any more, I may give it a try.

I'll share an update on battery life in a couple of days.
[Verizon LG G2] scififan68:

Yes, that's how we were all able to root the 39A OTA, and pull all the partitions a few days ago.
[Verizon LG G2] rmonjay:
I was having horrible battery life too for the first couple of days, like 5 or 6 hours on stand-by. But now it has settled down and it back to a full day. There were no wake locks or any obvious reasons for the battery usage, just crazy android system. I also disabled or froze several system apps spamware and that improved things even more.

[Verizon LG G2] Slinky826:
So I took the plunge and tried this out. Did things a lil differently, since my phone was already stock and unrooted. Downloaded files, rooted with stump, and ran the command line from a terminal emulator directly from my phone. Got everything updated to 39A with no issues and never had to use a PC.

Haven't had any issue with the back notification light, and so far battery seems about the same. Maybe a touch higher drain while using it, gonna give it a few days to see how it is.

Been using this for about a week now and after stripping out the Verizon crap, it's smooth as silk. Great battery life, no hangup, no fcs, and just all around amazing. Thanks for sharing this!

g3 method?

couldnt you just use the method used to force the lollipop update on the the g3 ?where you download the ota and download an app from the playstore to force the ota
[Verizon LG G2] jonstrong:
Similar experience here. After installing, before the new root process was available I simply disabled all the Verizon bloat that could be disabled, and it's been smooth sailing since. Battery was really poor for the first couple of days, but seemed to improve pretty significantly after a few days, and has good (not great) since. Overall operation is excellent -- no lag, very smooth. Battery standby actually seems to be superb -- when I'm not using the phone, drain is extremely slow. But when I use the phone, I don't get as much screen on time as I did on the original stock ROM.

Overall though -- I like it better with lollipop than I did without, and have no intention of going back.
[Verizon LG G2] scififan68:
I agree never going back as well, also the stock camera is so much better than what was on kit kat. As stock 4.4.2 camera would blur so easily and was very slow to take pictures. The lollipop camera seems faster and doesn't nearly blur nearly as much. :good: I was able to get 5 hours of SOT on stock, which is pretty good for this phone, although Simple rom has better battery life.
[Verizon LG G2] bwalz:
So I got as far as installing version 28A but my windows 7 pc won't recognize the device in ADB anymore. It just says that the device is offline. I've tried to do some troubleshooting, (turning off USB deburgging/development options and rebooting, reinstalling LG drivers and restarting my PC) still nothing. Screenshot attached.

I've tried doing adb kill-server and killing the ADB process in windows task manager too.

Edit:

I installed the drivers and adb tools on another laptop, I am able to update to 39A. Wtf........Good thing I have pc's at my disposal.

Not sure what you mean. I have the option to answer or ignore when called.

[Verizon LG G2] jonstrong:
If you mean the option to send a text msg reply when rejecting a call, yes -- that feature is in this version. There are a handful of standard replies (e.g., something like, "In a meeting, call me later", or "Can't talk, text me") and you can create your own. I use the feature frequently!

[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
No, unfortunately. What I've done is set the unwanted call saved in contacts under a group I labeled "blacklist" and set that group to have a silent ringtone. Best I could figure for now.

VZW LG G2
[Verizon LG G2] intcpr:
another model have call rejection? LG G2 D802 for Europe
[Verizon LG G2] jonstrong:
As jesssiii noted, there's no feature in the ROM to blacklist selected numbers. It looks like you're on Verizon - although it's limited and not exactly the same thing, you can put a 90 day block, free, on up to 5 numbers at a time:

http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-91643/

I use this to deal with spam / robo-calls. After 90 days, you can re-add the numbers if they start bugging you again. If you don't want to pay, that's as good as it gets with Verizon. For a monthly fee (a few dollars? don't know - didn't check), you can put a permanent block on several numbers via VzW.

No intention to take this off topic - I know you're looking for the feature in the ROM - just offering an alternative that might help you accomplish what you're after.
[Verizon LG G2] jasonsf:
I added the unwanted call to contacts, as well, but I was able to check the "All calls to voice mail" check box in the menu for that contact. That might work better than a silent ringtone.
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
Apparently (I have the day off) and stumbled upon Verizons website and today they are starting the official rollout for the OTA and yes it it VS98039A. Looks like it's exactly the same as the one taken from the server. One thing to note though, I guess the AT&T variant received T-action but there seems to be no mention about this for our variant. No biggie. Also just letting people know what I was reading. They have 6 pages about the update.
[Verizon LG G2] jakmayhopher:
Hey guys!

I was rooted when I saw the Official update come to the phone, I hadn't tried this method yet (I didn't have a custom recovery installed), but when I installed the update the phone will not turn on now. It did for a little while and went to the LG boot logo and showed some writing saying: "boot certification verify: secure boot error! cause: boot certification verify." Is there anything I can do to get it working again? And I just tried doing a factory hard reset and it didn't work.
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
I heard the way the lollipop update works is different than kitkat was. People have stories on other devices of the same issue you're having as maybe while being rooted the system had been altered a bit. Maybe some tweaks or even the supersu binary causing the issue. By taking the OTA while being rooted the OTA somehow corrupted your current system and failed to install the new one. Sorry to say but it seems you'll need to get LG flashtool on a windows p.c. and push the kdz which is now posted on xda verizon G2 android development thread. It's pretty easy to do you just need to make sure you get the latest drivers from LG and make sure your device is in download mode by holding volume up and plugging the phone into computer while powered off. Trust me I have done it a few times in the last month ir so. It's a breeze. Just do a little reading and make sure you have all the necessary files to do it properly. Goodluck man

Also the only place i have the option of changing ports is under Ports (COM & LP) > Communications Port. Changing it to COM41 doesn't work either

If you are using the modded LG flash tool from here, you don't need to worry about com ports. Just plug it into a USB 2.0 port (my front USB 3.0 port didn't work but ymmv) and flash. Pretty sure COM41 is only when you use the TOT method.

It just stays stuck at the LG logo screen, and the light blinks on and off like it's about to boot, but it never does. I even tried building the 39A kernel from source (used the ramdisk from the 28A boot.img, and also tried the ramdisk from the boot.img from the one in the same lollipop thread as before), and it still won't boot.

Of course they've spent billions on getting their network top notch, but they are also making billions. And that data plan is a money making machine from overages. Every day I dealt with families going over their limits getting charged 30-60 in overages. Money, money, money......
