I am guessing that using Software Upgrade Assistant would lose root, rebloat, lose TWRP, and keep me from being able to use LTE on Cricket and T-mobile ?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Not the answer to your question but IMHO this is a better option anyway. Download the LG Mobile Tool 2014 from XDA (search for it using Google) and the new 23C_01 KDZ. The official Verizon/LG tool (unless you hack it to work offline) forces you to redownload the KDZ every time you use it.
[Verizon LG G3] gatorstew:
Thanks, I realized that I still have the LG Mobile Tool from KDZ'ing back to 12B a few times, so I figured if I do decide to go with the official 23C then I'll just use that method again. :good:
[Verizon LG G3] dkoon1987:
Does this pretty much confirm that 23C is going to be the official OTA from Verizon? I wonder how long this method has been available....
[Verizon LG G3] ralmeidao:
maybe is the last stable rom!
[Verizon LG G3] gatorstew:
I have KDZ'd to 23C_01, and am now restoring apps via the LG backup/restore tool. I'll know later when I get home if the WiFi issue is still present as I was one of the ones that had issues on 23A/B. The only thing that would fix it was the script.
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Sweet; thanks for being our guinea pig. Don't forget to disable & re-enable wifi to check if it sticks, even if it gives them to you when you first join the network.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
The KDZ isn't available anywhere until it's available through http://lg-firmware-rom.com/ or http://lgkdz.com/ or the phone app or any other front end to do the same thing. Two days ago the official Verizon/LG program was downloading 12B.

Except when anyone ever has a leak of a KDZ, such as with 10B_01 (versus 10B_03 which was the actual OTA).
[Verizon LG G3] gregcapps:
Does 23c_01 fix anything?
[Verizon LG G3] Colchiro:
I think I read updated radio for starts.
[Verizon LG G3] muiriddin:
I tried the vzw software update and it failed to find anything newer than 12b for my phone...
[Verizon LG G3] dkoon1987:
Weird... It worked for me. The OTA has to be imminent.
[Verizon LG G3] gregcapps:
Maybe the radio updates help the sync issue.
[Verizon LG G3] ngerber999:
I also managed to get the update through the Verizon software that installs upon plugging into a PC.

So far so good on it.

[Verizon LG G3] SchmidtA99:
Me too. Now I'm just waiting for the "optimizing apps" dialog to finish. Strange that this version is 5.01 and the g2 has 5.02. Even though there isn't much difference between that version of android. Still odd though.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
They don't provide updated files to everyone at the same time. It depends on your IMEI. If anyone, or I'll do it eventually if noone else does first, uploads the KDZ somewhere that doesn't need your IMEI to get it, then you can use the unofficial but superior LG Mobile Tool 2014 to flash it.

Sorry to report that Wi-Fi is still hosed. Exactly the same as 23A/B for me.
[Verizon LG G3] hsbadr:
Expected! It's exactly the same 23C base we're using. Now, VZW may use our crontab fix :D
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Thank you for testing.

Believe it or not, I'm actually excited about this being official. I flashed so many different versions over the past few weeks it's nice to be able to just use the phone.

(Now to see how long that lasts.... ;) )
[Verizon LG G3] gatorstew:
I didn't see anyone say it was exactly the same until after I tested. [emoji6]
[Verizon LG G3] hsbadr:
It's my subjective decission. I just compared this screenshot with the 23C base we've & it seems that everything has the same version: baseband, kernel, ... etc.

Anyway, I'm working on a deodexed version off the official KDZ.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Even though the baseband shows the same version number, the 23C_01 modem.img is 7 MB smaller than from the 23C leak we had.

[Verizon LG G3] hsbadr:
Interreting, I'll compare the system files & if they're different, J 7.x will come out :p
[Verizon LG G3] gatorstew:
Thanks. Yeah I noticed it was smaller as well so I figured I'd do the forum a solid and confirm any known issues with 23_01, and hoped they magically fixed the Wi-Fi, but no such luck.
[Verizon LG G3] hsbadr:
They're indeed different! Let me know if you'd like to test 7.0.

Thanks for testing & confirming that the known issues aren't fixed!

I finally took the plunge to 23C when the Verizon upgrade assistant found it yesterday. I now understand the Wi-Fi issue as I am experiencing it as well. Another failure of Big Red's testing machine.
[Verizon LG G3] SchmidtA99:
I also did the upgrade to 23c and the WiFi problems are weird
[Verizon LG G3] jojo08:
to update or not. Is this occurring with a factory reset?
[Verizon LG G3] SchmidtA99:
I didn't do a factory reset. I wanted to see if I was going to have any problems without doing one after upgrading from kit kat with phone already set up.
[Verizon LG G3] dreamjaeil:
Would deodexing contribute in any way to get xposed working without modifying the Smartcircle?
[Verizon LG G3] hsbadr:
Deodexing causes problems for now due to ART. I've not tested Xposed on a deodexed LP ROM yet... will advice when done.
[Verizon LG G3] dreamjaeil:
Thanks for the reply! One more thing. Have you read this thread? https://github.com/rovo89/Xposed/issues/27 Rovo and another guy talks about encryption and LG not being happy at the end...Am I understanding correct that they are primarily concerned with some kind of security right that LG has on those APKs and not likely to release the fix due to legal reasons? I'm hoping that's not the case and the issue gets fixed.
[Verizon LG G3] hsbadr:
Interesting! It seems that Xposed won't officially support LG-G3 b/c of the encryption-related issues, except by using the workaround to freeze the involved apps.
[Verizon LG G3] NegativeOne:
I think it's kind of a stretch to say that it won't officially support LG G3 just because of two apps. It just doesn't support the apps. The bigger question is not about smart cover and weather, but about why the "more settings" menu crashes. That link doesn't mention it or whether it's for the same reason or a different one. It may be that we end up having to inject a custom version of the activity for that menu based on AOSP if the stock one relies on an encrypted APK. Though it also seems like an issue at least partly with XPosed. I'm not an expert, but shouldn't it be possible to detect that an APK is "corrupted" and to not modify it? Anyway, this is getting to be off-topic.
[Verizon LG G3] hsbadr:
I'm not saying it won't officially support LG-G3 for the two apps, but b/c the dev doesn't have time to look into the specific issues (at the moment). However, someone could fix them, but then I call it unofficial support that I expect to happen at some time (I might work on it whenever possible).
[Verizon LG G3] JLoSD:
Does "downgrade bootloader to 12B's" = flash back to 12B?

I (not knowing any better) accepted the OTA update on my VS985 to 23C last week. I obtained root and installed TWRP but the bootloader is locked and I cannot boot into recovery (I get verification errors).

Is there a simple way for me to downgrade "only" the bootloader to 12B (if that even makes sense ... I do this ROM thing about twice a year so I am only semi-literate) or is it best to just put the whole phone back to 12B (via one of the procedures perhaps like this http://xdaforums.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/guide-flash-to-stock-10b-kdz-method-t2928140).

If I need to do a complete flash back to 12B is there any advantage of installing Jasmine 4.0 at that point rather than stock 12B (before upgrading back to 23C)?

Lastly, my ultimate goal is to get back to 23C ... rooted, unlocked and with Xposed framework, G3 TweakBox and GravityBox. For that goal would you go with Jasmine 7.0 or SkyDragon 4.0 or ?

Thank you for all of your posts ... very thoughtfully done! ... I will click "thank you" after posting this. :>)

John
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Hi! If I were you, I would do exactly that. Flash back to stock 12B by KDZ, root it using the new one click adb USB method, use Flashify or TWRP Manager in the Play Store to flash the latest TWRP. No, don't bother flashing the old JasmineROM. I can't advise which to flash, JasmineROM 7.0 or SkyDragon 4.0, that's just personal preference. If you flash JasmineROM 7.9, then flash the latest SuperSU.zip and you'll be set. You can also flash any of the JasmineROM 7.0 related "addons" to mod and debloat for you if you like.

[Verizon LG G3] gatorstew:
So I used to have all those WiFi sync issues while on 23C. Lately I've noticed Wi-Fi syncing fine. I'm not using 'disable ipv6' either, nor the script. What I have noticed is that once I'm back at home on Wi-Fi, the '4GLTE' is grayed out. And it's syncing fine. It used to be lit up while on Wi-Fi so I'm assuming the two were conflicting. But I didn't make any changes so not sure what happened.
[Verizon LG G3] RetroOreo:
Is it possible for the 23c .tot to be uploaded in a file that's not a .up?
[Verizon LG G3] digitallure:
I haven't searched through all of the threads, but is it possible to install TWRP with the official Lollipop OTA build? I don't want Jasmine Rom or SkyDragon due to performance issues i'm having.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I haven't seen a TOT of anything newer than 10B. KDZ, yes.

In the Play Store, search for VS985 TWRP autorec. That'll install it for you if you already rooted, presumably through the new root script.
[Verizon LG G3] RetroOreo:
This will work even with 23c?

I tried the app you linked, it didn't work, but maybe because I had attempted to flash TWRP before, then tried to flash it again after running the app.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It's supposed to and others reported it worked who I mentioned it to. I haven't had a need for it yet so I can't say from first hand experience.

I wouldn't be surprised if you're correct regarding the reason it failed. You'll have to flash the 23C_01 KDZ, use the new root script then the app directly after. I'm sure I'll try it sometime but I don't know how soon, might be a while.
[Verizon LG G3] RetroOreo:
My trouble is that I can't flash to begin with. LG Flash Tool won't even pick up my device and using Flashify doesn't do anything. I'll keep trying and let you know if anything works. I'm confident something will. Could you provide a link to the 23C_01 KDZ, please?

Never mind! That app you sent works, thank you!!

[G Pad 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewbuntu:
I have the VZN LG G3 unlocked, rooted, w TWRP and no bloat and I'm loving it, so I thought I would look into the G pad 10".

I would be using it among other things quite often for marine GPS navigation and upgrading my 7" to a 10" at a reasonable price $249. The issue I have is that with Android 4.4.2 Navionics then makes you switch to a new app with subscription services built in and it's ridiculous that I can't use my maps on the new app and my paid version (old) app force closes and is a know complaint and everyone is pissed about it in the sailing world, so I need to find a Tablet that is or will downgrade to 4.2.2 JB which is completely fine with me. What are your thoughts, I'd rather not go to a samsung tab 3, but I'm not sure I can get the G pad to 4.2.2. with what seems like so little going on e.g. only 2 roms in the dev section.

What do you guys think?
[G Pad 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C4SCA:
No way u will run JB on this device... Would be avery hacky process i think.

I just got my Oneplus One about a week ago and I love the phone but it seems like no matter what I do the video quality is really bad. If I try and shoot a 4k video or any other quality video it comes out really grainy. Changing it to mpeg makes it a little better but then I can't use 4k or slow mo. Also sometimes when I first start the video a line pops up on the screen for just a second. Idk if maybe my camera is just faulty or I'm doing something wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[One (M8) Accessories] dima470:
Posted in the wrong section yesterday. Silly me.

Question is simple enough. What headphones, earbuds, or earpods are you all using with your M8? I'm looking for a durable set of audio peripherals that will last me longer than a crappy pair of skull candies. I've tried Bose SoundTrue in-ear headphones and am not sure they're something I want to keep. Feel free to comment below!

Also just out of curiosity for those of you with full size headphones. Does the M8 power them well enough? I know other smartphones struggle to provide the power needed for bigger headphones.
[One (M8) Accessories] Robert235:
I use Arctic bluetooth headphones mainly and ps vita in-ear headphones good bass and clarity.Haven't use bigger headphones.
[One (M8) Accessories] shepppster:
I have used these for years and struggle to find buds that match the sound quality for the money and available with a bit og hunting for about £10 uk sterling.

http://www.bestearphonesguide.co.uk/reviews/sony-mdr-ex50lp-review/#.VR8OeuHpUig

also having the right-angle jack plug is a much better and safer design in my opinion and i wouldnt buy any headphones without this feature to allow safe pocket transport!
[One (M8) Accessories] Phalangioides:
I use those stock htc earbuds that came along with the phone, they're pretty good imo.

At home I use akg k518le headphones - very durable, light and sound very good for me. Never ever felt the need to play something on full volume, so I guess they're no problem for m8
[One (M8) Accessories] Lobster!:
ATH M50 for home use, the phone struggles to power them fully. For gym use I've got the Jaybird X's which are excellent.
[One (M8) Accessories] flashmp3:
I 'm using it with ViperOne ROM with a Kernel that supports Faux Sound. In fact this permit to raise the volume of the built-in amp (analog amp) too its maximum without any saturation. Harman Kardon mod activated. I also have Viper4android installed and i just modify dynamic bass to have powerful sub-bass. With my VMODA M100 it's the best sound i have ever had !

I used to have iriver mp3 player which i was using with Westome UM3X. Then i moved to Nexus 5 + viper + Fiio E6 + Logitech UE6000. I thought it was great. Then i did Nexus 5 + viper + ibasso T3 + Vmoda M100. Then when i got my HTC one M8 unlocked with good kernel that supports Faux Sound (which is the only tool that permits to unlock full volume abilities of the device) with Harman Kardon Mod that permits to just make the sound like Crystal then adding dynamic bass with viper4android. The sound is just awesome !!

For those who feel they lack of volume or their headphones aren't drived well, you should really install Faux Sound from Playstore (need a Kernel that support Faux Audio) it may solve your problems
[One (M8) Accessories] tmorterlaing:
Hmmm... although anyone with some spare cash would do better to invest in some better headphones. In-built EQs and effects, including Harmon Kardon, Boomsound and Faux Audio don't actually do anything other than present different ways of EQ-ing the music. They can't somehow change the hardware.

It always amazes me that we're willing to spend hundred of $ on a phone but always skimp out on decent headphones. PS if you have anything by Beats, please for the love of god sell them and get something better XD

Anyway, I have some Earsonics SM64s which I drive straight - no EQ. At some point I might invest in a portable amp, but the DAC and amp in the M8 is actually one of the highest rated in a mobile device.
[One (M8) Accessories] flashmp3:
I don't understand your message. I don't understand what in my message made you answering what you answered.

So let's try to make you understand what i was saying which was said to help some who may have good headphones but maybe haven't optimized their phone for it

- Firstly as i told, i had Westone UM3X earphones. It's playing in the same game that the Earsonics SM64s. If i had this earphones, and bought a HTC One M8 maybe it's cause like you i love good sound.

- Vmoda M100 is one of the rare 2 way headphones. He's famous to deliver very good sound but the main point is its abilities for BASS. I Love bass. I listen mainly to hip-hop (dj Mustard like songs) and wanted to have strong and deep bass. The Westone UM3X are awesome. However when i discovered headphones, cause i had always had earphones, i realized how the size of the headphones compared to the earphone, make it have a better soundind in my taste (Best would be to have full size speaker anytime......). I had different headphones and before the VMODA M100 i had Ultrasone PRO 900. But i prefered the Vmoda overall and especially because it needs less power to be driven and is not too big.

- I didn't talk about boomsound which is way different than Harman Kardon Clari-fi. The Clari-fi permit to restore compress audio. Maybe you should have a look here http://www.clarifisound.com/ and also give it a try without judging. Plus never forget sound is a lot about sujectivity. I know lots of people that for example don't like the Earsonics SM64s because they find it too bassy (personnaly it wouldn't annoy me at all). To finish FauxAudio is nothing about equalizing !! HTC put a built-in amp in the phone but didn't provide any application to modify the volume. That is just what FauxAudio permits to do !! So this is an important fonction ! You have digital volume and analog volume. The analog volume slider permits to act directly on the built-in amp (hardware). The digital slider is a kind of software volume modification that i don't use

- ViperAudio is very different from any EQ of any audio application cause it doesn't act on the songs but directly on the soundcard through the audio drivers(hardware)

cheers

ps: I'm french so sorry for the not so perfect english
[One (M8) Accessories] tmorterlaing:
I wasn't attacking the Westones - theyre an excellent iem. I was making a general comment that people need to invest in half decent iems (like the ones you have) and not rely on software tools. Clari-Fi is just an EQ. I know the Harmon/Karodn driver allows for high res audio to be driven, but the Clari-FI is still just an EQ. Anything that claims to 'rebuild lost details' means it has to EQ - it id a digital fact that if the detail is missing from the file, no trickery will get it back. At best it's guess based on frequency reading algorithms. It's a GOOD guess, and I know it does a good job some of the time, but it's still an EQ.

Also please can you post to the information regarding FauxAudio. I don't understand how software that's designed to be used on any phone can work directly with some sort of hardware element of a specific phone (the HTC M8 in this case) and boost analogue audio levels. I'm pretty sure this is just digital gain. Properly controlled and carefully implemented; but still digital gain.

I don't know too much about ViperAudio, but the same questions come up. What exactly does it change about the drivers? How specifically does it make audio 'better'?
[One (M8) Accessories] lacrossev:
Using a pair of the original LG Tone for when I'm working on cars and wires get in the way. UE Superfi 5vi when I'm out and about, V-Moda M80 for extended periods of listening and some Skullcandy Titans for throwaway beaters. Bass is not my primary concern so all these choices deliver just enough bass but also offer very good mids and highs. I drive all these straight and encode all my music from CD -> FLAC. Garbage in, garbage out is a very important aspect of audio. If you're playing off some 128 kbit/s mp3s its going to be missing definition no matter what you pump them out of.
