Heaven is very appealing -- and I used to be a TMo customer for many years (back to Voicestream days) -- but unfortunately the signal availability connecting to heaven isn't sufficient with all the traveling I have to do every week these days. Too many dead spots to make it practical for me...so Verizon is pretty much my best choice from that perspective.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Yea if u travel n need good voice then vzw is the best choice. My wife hates tmo and wants to go back to VZW or Cricket that uses ATT towers as she prefers better voice signal. Just text me I tell her. LOL

I made a copy of the zip and only placed the modem.img and flashed i now have lost download mode. Tried to flash the restore download mode in another post but it gets stuck at the download mode center window and does not completely go into download mode. Any wayto fix i am on vs98027a rooted and twrp. With dori kenel and 28a radio
[Verizon LG G2] furry007:
do you need to full wipe before installing this?
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
Download the restore download mode zip, and flash it in twrp. The bootstack zip wipes your laf partition in case things go wrong so you can use fastboot to restore partitions manually.

Go here, it's in the Downloads portion of the OP: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2715408

It still works for me to .kdz even though it seems like it gets stuck.

EDIT:

If you want it to "completely go into download mode", you have to restore the stock 27A bootstack (from the 27A kdz). I can make a zip if that's what you want to do, but like I said, you will still be able to .kdz anyway like it is now.

EDIT 2:

I went ahead and made that zip so you can return your download mode to "normal": http://www.mediafire.com/download/bn5cbjkj1kovitt/bouchigo_VS980-27A_full_bootstack.zip

MD5Sum: 3cef1eacd05ee74a35c57a42953582d6

And if you want only the 28A radio, I made a separate zip so it won't mess with the laf partition, and only flash the radio: http://www.mediafire.com/download/v737b8l2k747yy4/VS980-28A_radio.zip

[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
So the 28A bootstack wouldn't be suitable to use with JPC's CM12, correct? It's not Loki'd? But the radio would probably work as I know the 27A radio works. What then would be the uses of this bootstack for instance?

And thank you, BTW!

While on JPC's CM12, flashing the 28A bootstack gave a secure boot error, wouldn't boot. After managing to use the buttons to get back into recovery I flashed the 26A bootstack then the 28A radio. All seems fine, other than about phone saying unknown under baseband.

Downloading now. Will let u know ASAP. Excited to try this method and keep root/recovery.

EDIT: Works great. Great job MicroMod. Here's what I did, coming from BeanStalk 5.0040 and VS98012B with JB bootloader. I downloaded the 27A bootstack, SuperSu zip, and 39A LP rom. I booted into TWRP 2.8.5.1, Blastagator Bumped recovery. I wiped system, data, cache, and dalvik cache. I installed 27A bootstack which put KK bootloader and 27A modem on my phone. I rebooted back to recovery (ignoring non-root warning of TWRP). I installed 39A LP rom and SuperSu 2.45 zip. I rebooted "system".

Backing up now to give it a try. Edit: nOOb mistake, forgot to wipe. Back to recovery for that. Android is updating now.
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
It's basically the same file, only a few cpu module settings were commented out (don't know that it would interfere with the signal).

At first boot, does it take longer than usual for you to connect to 4G? Maybe since you're on T-mobile you don't notice it/doesn't affect you. If someone on Verizon can comment on it after installing, that would be nice :good:
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
I've got excellent signal, almost right away. I'll let you know if it changes. Still in setup. VS980

Other than seeing T-CDMA 64 on lockscreen, everything seems good so far. I think that's just cosmetic, correct?
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
Yes, I'm now on rooted 39A which is stock LP for VS980. I have excellent 4G/LTE signal in New Albany, IN (next to Louisville, KY).

No joke - works like a charm.
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
Unreal dude. Friggin stoked. Did you have to also flash signal fix or is signal good on vs980 on verizon? So if I'm on xdabbebs kitkat vs982.5 rom already on kk bootloader I still flash micromods 27a bootstack the same way and reboot recovery then flash rom and supersu? Shouldn't be any different right?

Nope, my signal is good.

I'm getting anxious to flash this but my dowload is taking a while for the rom. I'm on wifi so I'm not sure what the deal is. [MENTION=2522637]MicroMod777[/MENTION] can you post the MD5 so I can make sure mine matches. Only worried due to long dl time
[Verizon LG G2] jasonsf:
That's exactly what I'm doing right now. From xdabbebs vs982.5. Booting now.

Hmm. I might be in a boot loop. Nope, "Android is upgrading..."

OK, it rebooted when I sat it in the wireless charger. Might wait until it is done before I try that again.

Nope, not the charger. Rebooted again before it finished upgrading the dalvik cache. I'll wait for it to finish and see if it can actually successfully run the rom.

Just the T-CDMA 64 on the lockscreen for me still. Thank you so much!

Is the SELinux set permissive? I ask because after installing the permission changer from Play, option to set to permissive was grayed out. Also curious if you had to change any major things to get this rooted?

VZW LG G2
[Verizon LG G2] jasonsf:
Not sure what the rebooting was all about, but now I'm in the setup wizard and it seems stable.

Had to connect to wifi for Google sign-on. Not sure if that means no data signal. Still testing.

It must have been a temporary issue. My signal is fine now.

How many apps did you remove? I debloated too, and removed about 67 apps.

Great guys I screwed up. I used flashify to update twrp while on xdabbebs vs982.5 and it flashed a non bumpd twrp and I can't access recovery! What do I do? How do I get recovery back? Is it possible? I also have fastboot mode not download mode. Please someone help me!!!
[Verizon LG G2] dtomlin:
Has the hotspot provisioning check been bypassed?
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
Not 67 I'm sure! I removed the Verizon stuff and some google like all the media apps and drive and plus. I only kept gmail and chrome. Installed TBO's clear Hangouts and clear YouTube. I was conservative because I've had bad experiences in the past with stock and deleting too much. I'd love to have a list of what you've removed.

VZW LG G2
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Not sure what you mean about SELinux permission. Whats that for? Root works though after flashing Chainfire's SuperSU. I didn't change anything to make root work which to me is a problem because I like to know what to change to make su work. I setup root "su" in xbin with permissions to a couple other files like I've always done on a rom but root won't work. Whatever Chainfire's update-script does makes su work on LP that why it has to be flashed after flashing LP rom.

I went back to full 27a, rooted, bumped twrp, flashed Chainfire's SuperSU, restored recovery. Did manual OTA to LP and root gone. For the life of me can't figure out this root thing on the OTA to work.

Can you reboot into rom?
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
I don't understand. Isn't this the rooted 39A OTA in flashable form you posted for us? If not, what am I running?

Yea, I mean the manual ota. The Flashable 39a has root after flashing SuperSU.zip.
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
You should be ok. The security checks are removed from the boot.img.

I'll post my debloat zip, in case you want to remove more apps. You can delete what you don't want removed from the updater-script.

The only thing that's different for su on L is that he's hijacking app_process. You can also modify the ramdisk to have it behave like it did in KK.

No, the flashable zip isn't the full 39A. We won't have a full rooted version of 39A until a kdz is found or someone finds another way to extract all of the necessary partitions. I may go through the process this weekend to see if what I had in mind will work. Actually, if anyone here has the OTA (not the flashable zip) installed and can tell me if system group still has access to mmcblk0p5/7 I'd know right now :)

[Verizon LG G2] dtomlin:
I think the hotspot provisioning apk from 39a will have to be modified. I just don't know how.
[Verizon LG G2] tholmes8291:
Yeah it will. Tried the 27a one and no go. Also for some reason I had absolutely no sound. Anyone else?
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
Attached is a simple program which will allow you to try various commands while running in a more elevated SELinux context than regular 3rd-party apps. You can also try passing different contexts to su, but I don't think you'd have much luck with anything higher than u:r:system_app:s0 given what I know has changed with L.

If you've already gone through the manual OTA process and left a functional (before L) su and busybox behind, then you can try installing this as a regular app and selecting either bb/su along with whatever command you want. The results will be displayed in the app. If that doesn't work, you may need to put this in /system/priv-app/Sinon/Sinon.apk (remember L has a different directory structure) and go through the process again. I'm particularly interested in knowing if /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 and /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 still have system group perms. You can find this out by just running ls -al /dev/block/ and selecting su.

I'll take a look at it this weekend if I get a chance to install the OTA.

What do you mean by root on lock down? Samsung will say your warranty is void but you weren't going to warranty with them anyways. As far as gaing super control the note was by far the easiest phone I've ever liberated. ChainFire had it beat before the software was released. You know longer need adb or a custom recovery.

No. Didn't need to as my signal was fine except it was T-CDMA 24 and not Verizon and the speed fluctuated alot. Also I noticed that once I left 4g area I would connect 1x as it said in statusbar and it took what seemed like forever to just load up a webpage. The rom ran really well other than the 2 random reboots. I did have alot of apps in the recent panel when it took place. I always forget to clear it. Not really impressed with LG's kitkat stausbar icons and 4 foot tall navbar buttons but I'm sure once the proverbial ball starts rolling all that can be customized. It's also a shame we got the shaft on multiwindow, t- action and knock code.

Does this give root on 39a? Flash on 28a, and then go through manual update process?

I'm on 39a and the rear led built into the power button is NOT on (in a completely dark room rn). Speaking of the rear LED, LG did add a lot more options for the rear LED compared to KK. Before you could only flash on/in call, on wake, and maybe for alarms/calendar events. Now you can make it flash in those cases, on missed calls and messages, on missed voice mails, "Camera face detection," and with "Downloaded apps."

No power button LED issue here on non-rooted "forced OTA". So far, this seems remarkably stable and bug free.
