1) Blastagator TWRP 2.8.5.1 BUMPED recovery needed

2) 39A bootstack needed

3) Reboot to Recovery after the bootstack flashing

3) Flash this rom

4) Reboot "System"

5) LG logo for 5 min but green LED should be flashing which means it's working well loading ART stuff

Try MicroMod's 39A's rom: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-g2/development/rom-vs980-39a-lollipop-t3048690 His uses 27a bootstrap and once it goes well then you can go back and flash XDABBEB's 39A's bootstack and then stock kernel.

hi

i followed this guide but have problem

i rebooted to cust recovery and told it to flash the stock fw/bootstack BEFORE i uninstalled root

when i tried to reboot to cust recovery right after i flashed stock fw it booted to the android lying on his back

i thought i was screwed

so i left phone like that and plugged phone to pc

windows detected the phone but couldnt install the drivers

i think hardware id's were messed up

anyhow i went to unhook phone and seen it had actually booted to LP ui

i tried to do full unroot with supersu but it wouldnt complete

i tried factory daya reset but supersu still there and root still working

can i install flashify and install bump twrp cust recovery 2.8.5.1?

my device status is modified

would like to get back to a KK rom like 27a or 26a so i can install xdabbeb g2 2.5

thanks

cant believe root stuck even after i flashed stock bootstack back
[Verizon LG G2] doublej713:
Sounds like you flashed the zip in the OP for returning to completely stock 39A (flashes stock recovery and 39A bootstack). The OP states to first remove root from within SuperSU then flash the return to stock zip. This results in a completely stock/unrooted 39A. Sounds to me like you weren't looking to loose your custom recovery though, in which case you shouldn't have flashed the stock recover/bootstack zip.

Can you get into download mode? At this point I would just TOT or KDZ back to KK and go from there installing VS982.5 (stump root > autorec > VS982.5 instructions). I think there are a couple threads out there on how to install a custom recovery to stock 39A (check out the 39A manual OTA thread maybe), but you need to flash and earlier bootstack then the custom recovery so that the phone will boot properly. If you are looking to completely revert then starting over is probably easiest.
[Verizon LG G2] en11gma:
yea i think i can get into download mode.

we can downgrade from LP stock official to KK stock official with TOT OR KDZ?

dont forget i am 39a stock firmware with 39a rooted rom

thanks
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
Go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=59349676 and just install recovery. Then you can flash whatever you want. I keep all the various bootstacks, bootloaders, and recovery zips on my phone along with a couple roms I use often. Just in case.

[Verizon LG G2] en11gma:
you asked me if i could get dl mode

i replied yes

you said i could downgrade to kk from lp with kk tot

i asked if i could downgrade to kk eventhough im on stock lp fw with rooted rom

you sent me a link

can i downflash in my current setup?

thanks

prefer to do it like you said in 1st reply

tot then stump and autorec... if possible
[Verizon LG G2] doublej713:
I was on the manual OTA 39A then used the 26A tot to flash back, rooted, custom recovery then flashed the 39A firmware, so yes you can go straight from 39A back using TOT/KDZ. Make sure you have the latest LG drivers. The KDZs and TOTs are full system images to that nothing is left of what you previously had running.
[Verizon LG G2] en11gma:
great to know that.

i folloed the directions in that file u libked me to and it worked perfect

from there i restored a stock 27a i had prev made with twrp

everything looks good but device status = rooted when usually it says official

:(
[Verizon LG G2] jin5:
I flashed the 39A bootstack in the resources thread as instructed in the OP, then this rom. the status says official.

did you try that yet?
[Verizon LG G2] whatnow275:
Did you have the 5 dot download mode? My computers won't recognize the device in 5 dot download mode
[Verizon LG G2] RichSPK:
That happened to me. I went back into recovery and flashed the bootstack again and that seems to have worked. Now I don't have any sound, but that's a different issue. I'll work on that after it finishes restoring my apps.
[Verizon LG G2] tictico:
Same here. It worked for me only when I came from stock 27A. Since then, I have tried many things. No luck at installing 39A using the given resources and FW using TWRP. It gets stuck at the Verizon logo and the phone gets hot after 25 minutes.
[Verizon LG G2] UrbanBounca:
My exact method was the following:

Wipe data/cache

Flash 39A bootstack

Reboot to TWRP

Flash 39A

Reboot system, then back to TWRP (It completely booted the first time.)

Clear all data (except system)

Reboot

Stuck at Verizon logo
[Verizon LG G2] detonation:
You're adding unnecessary extra steps that are probably causing a problem somewhere. All you need to do, per the op, is boot into recovery, flash the 39a bootstack, wipe, flash the rom, and then reboot. That's it.
[Verizon LG G2] wadamean:
Thats unnecessary. Go back into twrp. Wipe everything except internal storage. Flash 39a then reboot again to twrp. Flash the rom then boot up and all will work perfectly fine
[Verizon LG G2] tictico:
I tried all methodes and doing things in different orders. Still nothing!
[Verizon LG G2] wadamean:
That's very weird. The very first time I saw this post I followed the steps and booted up right away to use the rom.

Anyone know if HD voice /voice over LTE works on this? Thinking about giving it a spin. Thx!
[Verizon LG G2] tictico:

Can I flash this from stock kitkat 27A rooted with TWRP 2.7.0 flashed with autorec?
[Verizon LG G2] johnhale:
Guys I can't seem to figure this out even after a few failed searches. I flashed the 39a bootstack and then this ROM. Com8ng from XDABBEB'S 2.3 and full wipe. But I didn't have any sound so I restored my back up of 2.3. Now when I try to go into recovery the master reset screen looks different and then I get the secure settings msg b4 getting into recovery.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong and can I fix this through terminal from the phone.. I have TWRP 2811 installed so I think that the problem is a miss matched bootloader? . I'm trying to understand what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it

Any help would be great. Thank you

OP needs to mention that flashing this over KitKat with updated bootstrap locks the boot loader.

Now I have lollipop but locked boot loader.
[Verizon LG G2] puothy:
If you were on XDABBEB'S 2.3 then you were on the 26A bootstack. If you tried to restore the 2.3 Nandroid while still on on 39A Bootstack that is your problem, so you basically should just need to flash the 26A Bootstack and then restore your Nandroid and all should be good.

I'm not able to get into TWRP. I'm wondering if I have to TOT out of this or is there another way

Sent from my VS980 4G
[Verizon LG G2] puothy:
You should still be able to get into recovery. When you get that secure boot error screen it can freak you out but I have gotten it too. Just hold power and volume button down until it powers off and once the LG Logo comes up on restart let go and hold both buttons down again (it might seem to take a long time) It will bring up the factory reset screen. Select yes both times and it will reboot into TWRP. I have been through this before personally and know you can get back into recovery to fix it.
[Verizon LG G2] johnhale:
Sorry. I'm getting a different msg. But my eyes are bad and it goes away fast. I'm wondering if anyone knows if and how to push the Bootstack from my SD through terminal or if I have to TOT. Flashify also confirms my problem

Sent from my VS980 4G
[Verizon LG G2] puothy:
If you can get your phone booted up, then what you can try is Autorec. It will install 2.7. But before you actually use autorec, make sure to put the 26A Bootstack (newest one has TWRP 2.8.5.1 i think) on your phone and 2.3 ROM just in case. You should then be able to reinstall 2.7 via Autorec. Install it and boot back into recovery. Flash the 26A bootstack and after it installs reboot directly back into recovery. You can flash from there or try to restore your 2.3 nandroid before going with a clean install. But you need to MAKE SURE TO reboot back into review directly from TWRP after flashing the new bootstack.

Flashify won't work for you now I don't think.

Hope this helps.

I installed this rom without first installing 39a bootstack and the rom booted but everything froze up constantly. I went back and installed the 39a bootstack and it works great except that battery life has been quite bad. My battery will drain ~25% or so of 3 hours of non use (literally no screen on and nothing running) and I have location turned off. I have a strong wifi signal and OK cellular signal (I always leave wifi on at home). I also do leave bluetooth on but it's not using much of the battery. Perhaps my phone's battery (only 1.5 years old) is already going bad but I doubt it. I definitely had better battery life on KK.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[Verizon LG G2] b4dk4rm4:
I have been using this for the last three days and am loving it. I have had no issues at all with my battery life and my phone appears quicker and more responsive than when I was on stock 27A. Thank you XDABBEB for releasing this.

Man, you had an unlocked bootloader? Please, enlighten us on how you accomplished that.

I echo all your comments. Also on a few days old flash coming from 26A and no problems. It works wonders, its super smooth with Nova and battery seems the same if not better.

I do miss having Roboto font though, and Xposed to change dpi. Right now google widgets are huge!
[Verizon LG G2] tholmes8291:
You can use Textdroider to change DPI and fonts can be found in Themes sections

Nice thanks. That changes it universally, before I was using it only for the launcher, so that widgets were nice and small, but once I got into an app the text was not tiny. Still, thank you much.

[Verizon LG G2] Jaqueezzzy:
let me get this straight...

I've had this Rom for 2 weeks, I'm wondering if it's safe to go back to stock using the kdz method? Usually Xdabbeb removes download mode from his bootstacks but I don't think he messed with this one. So is it safe?
[Verizon LG G2] HTCZ715E:
stereo audio problem

Hello!

recently I tried out MicroMod777's 2 39A Roms and faced stereo audio problem.

in Extreme rom all audio was mono.

then installed Debloated 39A Rom. here stereo audio has only stock camera, not other apps.

(full wipe done always)

After that, I decided to identify problem and installed your rom.

same result for other apps. they are getting dual mono audio.

so my conclusion is, maybe problem comes with this OTA injected system dump, which does not do proper setup.

Guys with mediocre battery, I switched to interactive governor and have seen a phenomenal improvement in battery life. No hard stats but initial results are very noticeable.
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
I was going to mention this when I was on this rom, but must've been sidetracked. Another interesting "feature" is if you turn on (while on ondemand) the wifi-ap, the governor changes to performance, and when you turn it off, it reverts to interactive instead of going back to ondemand. The same thing happened on jb and kk, but it would revert to ondemand (even if you were previously on interactive).

Not at all. Just do the rear power/volume down thing to back into recovery, then flash 39A bootstack and boot into system.

[Verizon LG G2] fixxxer0:
That's the problem. Won't let me into recovery
[Verizon LG G2] :
By computer doesn't see the phone, do you mean the flashtool doesnt? or windows doesn't detect it at all?

If it's flashtool, you have to change the port to com 41 for it to detect it.
[Verizon LG G2] fixxxer0:
Computer doesn't. Doesn't show in dev mgr
[Verizon LG G2] Swamphound:
When you manually boot to recovery using power/volume down it should show you a white screen with the option to exit or toggle to wipe user data/factory reset. If you select that it should take you to recovery. I flashed the bootstack but forgot to wipe when I installed the ota. I did the above and it took me to recovery and all was well.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Have your phone plugged into something?
[Verizon LG G2] fixxxer0:
It doesnt let me boot into recovery using the power/vol down. the lg logo flashes on only for an instance then disappears and screen goes black. i tried plugged in and unplugged, no difference.

the only thing i can get to respond on the phone is download mode, but the computer doesn't even see the phone
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
I thought on the kitkat bootloader plus, to get into twrp it was volume up and power?

Maybe I'm imagining things lol
[Verizon LG G2] fixxxer0:
thats download mode.

if i hold the power down vol down (recovery) eventually the led just flashes reed 7 or 8 times

WOOOOOOO just fixed it!

i googled the red flashing LED and found another phone mentioning pulling the battery (something we cant do) but i just took apart the phone and disconnected the battery lead and reconnected it and it went into recovery first shot!

whew that was f'ing close
[Verizon LG G2] Swamphound:
OK. Just telling you what I did when I fouled up. Power off (hold down power for a while then will feel vibrate keep holding down). Make sure you're not plugged to anything. Push vol down+power let go at LG symbol and push vol down+power again. You will get white screen with option to exit or wipe user data/factory reset. Toggle bottom choice and it will take you to recovery.
[Verizon LG G2] kmcrane:

All the changes are listed in the op. Ramdisk modified to allow adb on osx/linux, selinux permissive, and remove a few lg security checks. . The firmware is as close to being 100% stock as you can get and be rooted.

His custom roms both have kernels built by him that are significantly different than the stock LG kernel, but afaik the lp rom and kernel are nearly 100% (other than listed changes) stock.

[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
Ok thanks
[Verizon LG G2] jasonsf:
He does say he updated a kernel to switch to permissive here.
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
The kernels are essentially stock; just a few lines added/removed/modified. He's not building for LP since he does not deem it "worthy", and I can't say that I blame him either. Aside from looking a little better cosmetically, and a few minor advancements, it doesn't seem to be performing on par with KK for this phone, especially battery-wise; although battery is not significantly lessened in my experience, none-the-less, it is lessened.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
39A was officially released OTA?

VZW LG G2
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
Yeah I saw it on a couple android sites and it's on Verizon's site someone linked to.

Do you know if anything would have changed since the build numbers are the same? I'm hoping for better battery life.
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
I doubt it, it's most likely the same thing we already have.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
Dang I really hope they worked on battery optimizations a little because it's pretty bad now. At first it was alright but after a couple days it sucked. It's a shame because everything else was great after getting rid of all the bloat
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
Have you tried switching to the interactive governor? I think someone suggested it another thread (maybe this thread, I can't remember); supposedly it helps with battery life.
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
It's the same thing. 39A is 39A. Just have to hope for another release in the future.

Also, as for the kernel, what [MENTION=5073488]ffejy462[/MENTION] & [MENTION=790321]bouchigo[/MENTION] said is correct. The ones posted here are the stock zImage with a few minor changes to the ramdisk. That's it. I have not built a kernel for L. Switching to interactive isn't going to magically fix 39A's shortcomings either.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
OK thanks

And yeah I've tried switching to interactive and no good still. When leaving it overnight I set it to power saving and it helps a lot for standby then in the morning I switch back to on demand. That's the best work around I could find for now that at least keeps it from losing too much battery over night. With ondemand it went from 100-85, with power saving it goes down only 4-8% so it's better

Sent from my VS980 4G
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
Yeah, add that to the list of things I didn't like about 39A and don't understand why LG changed. The battery saver mode in KK is incredibly useful. You could selectively turn off syncing/wifi/bt/vibrate/led/etc. All it does in 39A is ramp down the cores which isn't necessary in the first place if they're idling/hotplugging correctly. The terrible camera driver, the neutered notifications that you can't interact with, the memory leaks, the increased battery drain, etc etc etc.

Honestly, this release baffles me...from the issues/omissions to the fact that we even got it in the first place...before the VS985 and just about everyone G2 variant. I guess we should be thankful to VZW, but I just find it all very odd.
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
The whole release seems rushed to me. It's almost like a cm12 nightly, where things work well enough for a release, and the bugs/functionality omissions will be fixed/added later (if ever). Maybe they just figured we'd accept it because it was a shiny new LP build :confused:
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
I easily forget that these mfgs have the the masses in mind, which excludes us.

I'm sure if everyone running stock had a chance to run one of xdabbeb's builds, they would be up in arms with pitchforks and torches ready for blood.

But for the people that don't even know what root is, they probably think this new build is the best thing ever.

This also makes me wonder how many people would get this build, and be like holy hell, this phone runs like **** now, and upgrades, not knowing what this device and software is capable of when done right.
[Verizon LG G2] DirgeExtinction:
So is the update Verizon is pushing out now the same as this one?
[Verizon LG G2] blackmatrix64:
Any chance this will be ported for D802?
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Yes. If hey made any changes to it, it would be 39b, 40a ect....

The ota is exactly what was grabbed from lg servers.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
I don't really know anything much about that stuff but would it be hard to edit it in a custom ROM? (Sorry if that's a stupid question) like the camera drivers maybe how you had a modded version for xcam and maybe a custom kernel could help with battery? If not then I guess we'll all be better off on KitKat still. Really the battery usually isn't too big of a deal for me but it's just pathetic now. I went to practice with it at 100% and when I take it out of my bag while it was literally doing nothing for 2 hours it's down 10% when normally it'd be like 1%.

Hopefully some of this stuff can be fixed by you awesome devs and maybe we'll be lucky and we'll see a 5.1 update that improves it but I'm feeling like this is the last one. I just wish we could get the nice things from lollipop without losing the reliability of KitKat.

Sent from my VS980 4G
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
Yeah, I would imagine I could do everything to L just as I did for KK. The question is why do it in the first place? It takes a lot of time (camera driver especially), and I see no benefit. I've never been one to get hung up on version numbers. If it's better, I'll use it and build for it.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
For what my opinion is worth. 39a isn't worth the time and effort.

If they would do some updates that make it better as you said, it might be worth investing in, but your vs982.5 build is this but better.

Anyone that wants to run lollipop should seriously check out his other ROM. Its fast and smooth, with better battery life and better camera.
