I'm willing to try it but I'd have to wait until tomorrow. I'm too tired right now to think straight enough that if I brick anything it'll be like that till tomorrow haha. If no one tries it tomorrow and I don't have too much homework I'll give it a shot.

I know it says you remove the laf partition but it also says it backs it up and you can just revert the command to restore it. (Not sure if I read that in the comments or the op but it was definitely there)

Post #3 in that thread states:

Devices confirmed working with root method

LG F60 (all variants)

LG Tribute (all variants)

LG G2 (all variants)

LG MS395/D393

LG G3 (all variants)

LG L90 (all variants)

LG Transpyre

LG Volt (LS740)

Devices confirmed not supported for enabling fastboot

LG G3 (Verizon)​

Not clear (that I could see) that it works with Lollipop on the G2, though. THAT's what I'd like to see...

I still have a few frustrating nights etched into my memory when I decided to try flashing something questionable when I was FAR too tired and too few hours away from having to get up for work. I can sympathize. Hoping you get a good night's sleep, and feel sufficiently refreshed tomorrow to give it a go... :)

i checked build.prop file on the rom im using was thinking there may be something in there that controls LED notification didnt find anything maybe a module on xposed framework would work as a work around the lights.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
I think we might be missing some file that controls the light. I extracted the Korean LP V30E kdz, flashed the system.img and have no dim light issue.
[Verizon LG G2] winlin.droidrzr:
Would that be possible to pack the system.img from that Korean variant in with the rom or would the vs980 think its the Korean variant?
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
I think they were confusing the two posts. The first post is the root method, the 2nd is for enabling fastboot, which is something that's happened to everyone's phone that has flashed any of my bootstack zips as a safety measure. That said, I would caution anyone on trying it on the 39A BL until we know it still is an option. It would be safer to wipe recovery as a first attempt, so you can always kdz/tot.

No, the files are just getting pushed with adb beforehand. That works just fine without root. It looks like this is just taking advantage of a flaw in dlmode that allows any file(s) to be written to the system partition. The lg_root.sh script that is run after the files are copied from /data/local/ to system is just a copy of the SuperSU install script.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Its not that simple. It needs cdma stuff to work.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
Last off topic post from me but Looks like [MENTION=2861395]jesssiii[/MENTION] tried the root method we were talking about earlier and was successful as well as two others who confirmed it so I guess we're good ?. Imagine that as soon as we start complaining about no root ta da one appears haha.

I'll definitely be giving it a go once I'm home from class today. No time to do it now. It'll be great to de bloat this sucker and modify some stuff again

[Verizon LG G2] JodySchweigman:
Before I flash this... how is the battery? I have had bad experiences with stock. The phone would get HOT doing anything at all. It would stay hot in sleep, and drain overnight. So, I am weary of stock ROMs. Do I need to flash a signal fix, or any other fix? AND can someone please provide screenshots?
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Hang tight as I'm making new one rom now that we got root that should need no signal fix if your worried. Gotta test first. :)
[Verizon LG G2] JodySchweigman:
Great! Thanks. Does this keep recovery and download mode, or do I Iose them? EDIT: Sorry for all the questions. I am very weary of stock based ROMs for some reason.

[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
If it's not inconvenient for you can you make a list of apps that are safe to remove? I removed 15 already that I know for sure I could get rid of like nfl mobile, imdb and a bunch of Verizon apps since I don't use Verizon, but what about the ones like sync service and hotspot, and voicemails? They're the Verizon colored red but I'm not sure if they're necessary or not.

Anyone who did the ota install running xposed? Not sure how to get recovery on lollipop without going back to Lindsay again. So am I just going to need to wait for a recovery method or until it's updated to not need recovery? Or is there a method to install imit without one.

I just got it debloated so if I can get xposed it'll be perfect

[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Yea, this keeps all that.
[Verizon LG G2] jonstrong:
Even without deleting apps to debloat, you can disable them -- even in stock / unrooted -- in the app manager. I was pleased to see that I've been able to disable just about all of the Verizon bloatware, NFL mobile, visual voicemail (I use google voice instead), etc. I've always found disabling (or freezing, once you're rooted) a great way to test whether it's ok to do without an app before you actually delete it. On the other hand...I've been making increasing use of Google Play Music lately, and keep adding to the music downloaded / cached on my phone (for airplane flights with no signal on), and I'd be quite happy to free up more space on the phone by deleting bloat... :)
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
Yeah I had a lot disabled but there were some I couldn't do without root and like you said it's nice to have the extra space and have less apps cluttering things and using memory.

[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
Until MicroMod release another debloated, rooted, 39A rom, I would advise all to flash XDABBEB's 39A bootstack as it brings this rom closer to stock. I have not tried XDABBEB's 39A kernel yet, but if you flash it also then it's be very close to stock. :good:

EDIT: Just tried XDABBEB's 39A kernel, took a bit to boot up from LG logo but works fine. Now my "ABOUT" screen says "Official" and "39A baseband" (instead of "modified" and "unknown")
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
What version of twrp are you running? Blastagator's?
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
Blastagator's BUMPED TWRP 2.8.5.1

Flashing XDABBEB's kernel also fixed the constantly on, dimly lit, power button LED :good:
[Verizon LG G2] JodySchweigman:
So the Kernel fixes all the problems? Sounds good to me. Is it from here? http://xdaforums.com/verizon-g2/development/vs98039a-stock-fw-t3051560
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
Most problems. It even says "Official" and "39A baseband" instead of "modified" and "unknown". I flashed the 39A bootstack and then the 39A kernel (over the already installed MicroMod's 39A debloated, frankensteined rom)

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934539805
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
So, to be more certain. Once booted and running the rom, just flash the bootstack and kernel in "Blastagator's" recovery and it should work ok? Also does this fix the T-CDMA carrier message?
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
Yep. It says "Verizon Wireless" and not "T-CDMA 64" on lock screen, "Official" and not "Modified", "39A baseband" and not "Unknown". Flash the 39A bootstack and then 39A kernel on top of MicroMod's debloated, frankensteined 39A rom's and reboot and you're G2G :good:
[Verizon LG G2] je2854:
could we use "LightFlow" and use the root function in order to control the LED?

I did this with my S4 and my Moto phones.
[Verizon LG G2] JodySchweigman:
My software status is still "Modified." Everything else was fixed, though,
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Anybody else confirm all works well after flashing xdabbebs 39a bootstack n kernel?
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
Yeah, just be careful of your settings. When I had "Download aps" checked in "Rear light" settings, my rear LED was doing really weird things when I had Light Flow installed. I probably could have gone through all the settings, and figured out what was causing it, but it's more work than I wanted to do since I rarely look at the power button LED.

---------- Post added at 09:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 AM ----------

It should work fine, all your Rom really needed was the partitions from the OTA, and correct ramdisk in the boot.img, which xdabbeb's bootstack, and kernel provide .
[Verizon LG G2] JodySchweigman:
Yes it works fine. T-CDMA 64 now says Verizon Wirless, LED on the back is not lit, and baseband is identified. For one person, software status says "official," but mine still says "modified." So, it all works great.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Sweet. Its modified because it was rooted.
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
If you want it to say "Official" you have to delete lgmdm_root_flag.txt from /data/system, and you also need to adb push the "clean" persist.img from 27A .kdz. Once you do that, reboot, and you should be fine. All this in conjunction with the boot.img that has the security checks, and rctd removed (xdabbeb provided in his thread, or modify the boot.img yourself).
[Verizon LG G2] whatnow275:
I flashed the 39A restore to stock and 39A kernel and now I have a secure boot error. What did I do wrong? More importantly, how can I fix it?

I cannot reboot to recovery anymore.
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
Reboot to recovery via hardware button has changed with KK bootloader with 39A bootstack (compared to JB bootloader). This is the JB bootloader's hardware button way to enter recovery: http://www.android.gs/how-to-enter-recovery-mode-on-lg-g2/

KK bootloader's combination buttons to enter TWRP: Power off, volume down and power button, when LG logo appears, release them and press volume down and volume up and hold.

Also make sure charging cable is not plugged in and make sure your phone is completely off to start the button pushes (black screen present but phone may still be on--black light can still be seen in completely dark room).

EDIT: also make sure you install latest Blastagator TWRP 2.8.5.1 for VS980 as it's BUMPED !!!
[Verizon LG G2] whatnow275:
I tried both and if i do power/vol down then repeat after LG logo (and choosing yes twice) it will show the open android symbol for a second then reboot. PWR/Vol down and vol down/vol up does nothing. Am I still doing something wrong?

I am hoping that I can fix this without using KDZ.
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
It works great for me ?
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
While phone is on, hold down the 2 buttons together for 10 sec (Vol. Down and Power), it'll reboot to LG logo and don't let go until LG logo turns off. Then it's truly off and then you can retry the combinations. It takes several tries and perfect timing to work. If not, KDZ and download mode is next :(
[Verizon LG G2] whatnow275:
I tried PM'ing you so I wouldn't clutter the threat (you chose not to receive PMs). Doing the way you posted for KK just lets it boot regularly (secure boot error), doing double pwr/vol down gets me to where I choose yes twice which would ordinarily put it in recovery. Flashes the android logo again and reboots. Maybe I will just have to KDZ. Should I have not flashed the 39A return to stock?
[Verizon LG G2] doublej713:
Are you talking about the return to stock from the other thread for the complete 39A firmware? If so, I would have to guess that it isn't compatible with this "Frankenstein" version as I think it was referred to here at some point. Might be time for the kdz.
[Verizon LG G2] whatnow275:
Sounds good. Can I get the link to the 39a bootstack for next time?

[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
Per the OP, all the bootstack zips already have TWRP 2.8.5.1.
[Verizon LG G2] JodySchweigman:
Interesting. What order did you flash the bootstack and kernel? I did bootstack, reboot into recovery, kernel, reboot into system.
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
I restore the Micromod's hacked rom first, then do the XDABBEB's 39A bootstack, and then lastly XDABBEB's 39A modem (all in one sitting). I finally then reboot the phone to run the rom. All using Blastagator TWRP 2.8.5.1 bumped recovery of course. I have Verizon
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
You do realize that you are overwriting the modem in the bootstack with the same modem, right? The modem in the "XDABBEB's 39A modem" is the same modem that is already in the "XDABBEB's 39A bootstack".

EDIT:

Re-reading my initial post, it sounded a little aggressive/condescending, but it wasn't meant to be that way. Let's just be more cautious (myself included) on the info. we're putting out there that can cause people grief when working with their phones.
[Verizon LG G2] JodySchweigman:
I think he meant kernel from here: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-g2/development/vs980-resources-bootstacks-unofficial-t3050777
[Verizon LG G2] puothy:
Just a quick follow-up to this after a couple days of use. I am using the charger that came with the phone and charging time is very slow. The odd thing is this...Qi charging is significantly faster and nearly as fast to charge my phone when I was on KK plugged directly into the wall.
[Verizon LG G2] JodySchweigman:
Has anyone tried to flash GAPPS? I really want the Google apps, and not LG's apps. Or do they not work with stock ROMs?

You don't have to flash GAPPS, Google Play services are included by LG. If there are apps missing, they should be available in the Google Play.
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:

[Verizon LG G2] whatnow275:
First I want to say thank you for taking the time to help me.

Did you mean use the LG Flash Tool 2014? How do I set it up? It keeps stopping due to an error. I can boot the phone into download mode by pressing volume up within DemiGod Crash Handler, and I hear windows recognize a new device is connected. If I do download mode by power off, then hold vol up while plugging in USB it says download mode but the computer will not recognize. Which method is proper? Why do you think it would stop due to an error (I tried changing to COM41 also).

[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
Yeah but xdabbebs 39a bootstack contains 27a aboot bootloader. I promise it does. Its on his resources thread. He did it that way so we could have twrp.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Correct. As apposed to using the 39a aboot, he used 27a in his bootstack, so you can use twrp.

Up to you how you want to do it though. If you flash the 27a bootstack, you would have to flash the 39a radio after the ROM for the newest radio.

You flash his 39a bootstack, its the same thing but you get the radio installed with it.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
On the new flashible?
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
This was posted in xdabbeb's thread.

Something I noticed about the power key led - LG added "downloaded apps" (among other things) to the notification options for the the power key led. My power led was still staying on, but I realized it was my ongoing weather notification app that was causing this. When I unchecked the downloaded apps options, it stayed off.

Try this before flashing
[Verizon LG G2] h_10:
Hi.

I've been following this and the OTA ROM thread and am a point where I'm ready to flash this or KDZ the ROM. What's the difference between the two?

- This ROM is rooted and TWRPed. OTA is not rooted though can be but there's no recovery, correct?

- This ROM is the dim power button light on while the OTA does not, correct? Does the new debloated ROM fix the dim light on issue?

- If I were to flash this, flash the 27A bootstack in the OP, then flash the new debloated ROM, then flash Xdebs 39A radio and the Busybox and init.d zip?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
- correct

- unsure, although two posts above one guy is testing. Post above this may fix it for either or, its not been tested here.

-correct, or as I've already posted, you can flash xdabbeb's 39a bootstack which has the 27a aboot so you have recovery, then flash this.

[Verizon LG G2] detonation:
In regards to the post I was quoted on about the power light led, LG added new power led options in 39A that now mostly match the settings for the front led. I noticed that when I had the "downloaded apps" settings checked (which refers to third party notifications) my power led was staying on. I have an ongoing notification for the current temperature from the app HD Widgets - I believe this notification was triggering the power led into thinking there was always a notification needing attention, so my power led was always blinking. When I unchecked that option, the blinking stopped. I am on true stock 39A (took the manual OTA then rooted and manually installed TWRP) so my assumption is that any third party notification - ongoing or dismissable - causes the power led to light up...possibly a bug/oversight by LG. I'm also using Lightflow so that could factor in, but either way, when I unchecked the downloaded apps setting, I no longer had issues with my power led

I really want to flash a stockish rom for camera reasons and stuff. However I simply think AOSP roms are just down right beautiful with the stock material design. Is there a way to re theme stock roms to look like aosp as far as the dialer and such? I could probably live with the settings menu and quick settings not being themed I guess. Didn't know if G2 Tweak Box or something similar would be Lollipop compatible and able to accomplish this or maybe another xposed module?

that is what I have actually done for now. I have never used a stock ROM so not sure if the ported app takes as good of photos and stuff as the actual stock ROM. Also there are options and such missing as well. Thought if I could theme the stock ROM I may get the best of both worlds.
