Good luck, hopefully the rest helps! Keep us posted, please.

23A wasn't an official release so you won't get the OTA and even if you did anyway, you wouldn't be able to use it because the OTA would be looking to patch 23C_01 files, not 23A files, so it would fail. If you don't want to be rooted, you need to use LG Flash Tool 2014 to flash the 23C_01 KDZ and then take the 24B OTA, or if you want to be rooted you need to do the same but with the 12B KDZ, then OTA to 23C, then OTA to 24B, then use the "new" root method in the General section of the non-variant LG G3 sections. If you then put TWRP on with the Play Store autorec VS985 app, you might need to flash JasmineROM 8.0 after in order to boot the ROM, in order for the ROM to co-exist with TWRP.

[MENTION=5320540]fridayfan13[/MENTION], you too. :)
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
You have to remember these updates go out in batches based on IMEI or location or something like that. Verizon won't push it out to all phones at the same time (reduce network traffic stress I guess), so you might have to wait. It could take up to a week before you see it.

I got mine the day the announcement was made (it took a few hours but I eventually got it), but I've had it where the first LP OTA took a few days before I got it.

UPDATE: DOH! Didn't read correctly. Assumed when you said 23a that maybe you mistyped it instead of 23C. As "edor" stated, 23a was unofficial.

My bad.

Thanks to [MENTION=2560614]roirraW "edor" ehT[/MENTION] for pointing that out in the previous post.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
23B was unofficial too :P , and then we got a leak of 23C which was 23C_00, whereas the official OTA was 23C_01, although I don't know how to tell what "revision" a build is until the KDZ is released, because the KDZ file name has the _00/_01/etc. in it.
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
Damn. Strike 2. :)
[Verizon LG G3] nycshowtime:
Thanks for the reply! I am fine with being unrooted for now.... can you please direct me to the LG Flash Tool 2014 to flash the 23C_01 KDZ and if possible any directions/instructions? Thanks again...
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Your're welcome!

Just Google

XDA LG Flash Tool 2014

and then Google

XDA VS985 23C KDZ

And go to Verizon or LG's website to get the Verizon LG drivers v2.22. Install them, reboot the PC, put your phone in Download mode (with the phone off, hold the up volume button and with the original USB cable already connected to the PC, connect the phone end still with the up volume button held until the phone starts saying in I think blue letters "Download mode"), then plug it into the PC. Watch Device Manager on the PC to tell when it's loaded the driver for the phone as a modem (click to expand the Modem section, and you should see LG Android there. It can take a few minutes to load the drivers.

When you use the flash tool (on Windows), drag all program dialogs out of the way while it's working and ignore any new dialogs/messages that pop up. Seriously. If it says it can't contact a server, that's normal because it's an online tool that was hacked to use offline. Normally no matter what if you wait 5-10 minutes it'll have flashed your phone. Other LG devices can be slower. Up to 20 minutes on my LG G Pad 8.3 if the flash tool's having a bad day. :)

[Guide] [VS985] Flash Back To Stock - KDZ Method (updated)
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
:D
[Verizon LG G3] nycshowtime:
I started to follow these steps.. Unfortunately when entering Download mode the screen changes to "Firmware Update" and it is stuck at 0%, won't increase. Says in box underneath, "VUSER B73 Official"

Any ideas?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You mean putting it in Download mode before starting LG Flash Tool 2014 results in that? If so, no, no idea.

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 PM ----------

If you mean that's the message you get when you try to use LG Flash Tool 2014 (you already had the phone in Download mode and connected before starting LG Flash Tool 2014, correct?), then you should probably search or ask about it in the return to stock thread.
[Verizon LG G3] nycshowtime:
Yes thats what happens... it says download mode for a few seconds then switches to Firmware Update and doesn't progress....

Any other settings you can think of to change prior to the update? I set USB Debugging on but that is all.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No, really no idea, USB Debugging is all you need. You should do a search and see if anyone else has had the same problem, either in the return to stock thread or just general Google.

Unless you have some tool installed on your PC that connects to the phone and tries to do something without your interaction.
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
That's what's supposed to happen. After it's on that screen, you run the tool to flash whichever firmware you're going back to. Follow the instructions in the thread I linked; it's all in there. Remember, that will wipe everything on the phone's internal storage and put it back to stock as if you just bought it.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Oh, glad you knew. I had no idea what it said on the screen other than Firmware Update, and I meant to add (to him) that without LG Flash Tool 2014 loaded and trying to flash, the Firmware Update wouldn't progress.
[Verizon LG G3] nycshowtime:
Awesome... it worked! Thanks for the help... :good:
[Verizon LG G3] DeanGibson:
Just some history ...

History:

2014-08: Phone received w/ 4.4.2.

2014-08: Upgraded to 4.4.4 and rooted w/ IORoot.

2015-04: OTA v5.0.1/23C would not take, so applied 12B.kdz, applied the OTA update, and then rerooted w/ the one-click method.

2015-07: OTA 24B would not take, and SuperSU would not uninstall (!?!), so applied 23_C01.kdz in "Normal" mode (THAT removed SuperSU!), and then applied the OTA update.

Since LG now supplies an on-phone backup/restore tool for the G3 as part of the Settings menu, I no longer need to run Titanium Backup, which means I no longer need root. Given the nuisance issues with rooting/unrooting/system updating/etc, I've decided to remain unrooted on the LG G3 for the time being. Quite a change for me, since this is the first Android device (in well over a dozen) for which I've made this decision.

ps: Where is the LG backup tool for the LG GPad 8.3 ??? If the venders would concentrate more on making such tools available on their devices, they probably would have to spend less time worrying about rooting.
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
That makes two of us. Right now, aside from the fact that WiFi has gotten a little wonky at work with the 24B upgrade, I haven't had a need to root and I've rooted every Android phone I've had.

Yes, battery life with LP is not as great as it was with KK, but I can still get through the day and still have enough left before I go to bed, and that's what's important.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I like things like Automate It too much, which needs root for things I program it to do like automatically turning on Data and full GPS when I have Maps in the foreground, or when I have a trip in progress. Other stuff...
[Verizon LG G3] dkoon1987:
So after doing various troubleshooting, I did manage to get my Gmail to send push notifications again by uninstalling all my updates and using the factory version. But as soon as I update my Gmail app, the push notifications stop again. Anyone ever seen this?
[Verizon LG G3] TheLoonyRebel:
Yeah it seems like the modem from 24B is a bit better compared to the 23C one.
[Verizon LG G3] DeanGibson:

There was a Google Play update to Gmail in the last 24 hours ...
[Verizon LG G3] DocWalt:
So I KDZ'd back to 12B, took the OTA to 23C (which failed, no notification bar or home screen buttons)... I KDZ'd back to 12B and now it just keeps saying I have no updates available. Awesome...
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If it happens again (no nav or status bar), try a factory reset and see if it helps.

[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
Awesome! Thanks for the tip. I've turned that setting on. We'll see how it goes tomorrow when I come into work. It definitely happened this morning when I came in. I had to recycle the wifi to off and then back to on and then it connected to my work's WiFi. Not sure if it's because the previous WiFi connection was from home.

I do have to leave work at lunch so we'll see how it is when I get back and it reconnects.

Thanks again for the tip!
[Verizon LG G3] DocWalt:
Yep, that worked! Still didn't help my phone decide when it wanted to OTA, but oh well. I got to 24B this morning. No more WiFi sync bug :)

[Android General] closee91:
I DO have these disabled, but when they're enabled they work just fine.

GPS

Auto Sync

Location Services

Android Backup

Facebook / Social apps (INSTANT Push Notifications)

You CAN keep these on

GPS

Auto Sync

Google Now

WiFi during sleep

[Google Maps] for Navigation

Facebook /Social Apps are available *only during screen on*

Google Play Services remains a system app

Instant Push Notifications (Depending on what you have limited, for example in MY guide FB and FB Messenger are NOT instant)

NO need for underclocking, Min/Max CPU,

ALL apps that I have disabled: Facebook, Twitter, TypeMail, etc... Work JUST fine when screen on and/or app is opened manually, just during deep sleep is when they're not called to pull notifications. Your mileage may vary.

What you will need

:

ROOT

Xposed

-[Xposed for 4.0.3-4.4]

-[Xposed for 5.0]

-[Xposed for 5.1]

I will NOT be going over how to root or install Xposed, there are dedicated XDA threads for that :p

Greenify

Amplify

Powernap Power Nap for Xposed is the SONY's stamina mod for non-Sony devices. When your screen is off, Power Nap maximizes your device's deep sleep time by stopping services, alarms and wakelocks. You can whitelist apps. You need to join the alpha testers community in Google+ here. And become a tester and all that good stuff :)

Servicely *OPTIONAL* Servicely is basically a task killer, that will kill the apps you have selected at a certain amount of time, or screen off, depending on your settings.

I'm not responsible for any app misbehavior, device failure, bricking, or any of that. As always this is at your OWN RISK!
[Android General] closee91:
Greenify

You can use Greenify to hibernate apps that are not in use. There's a donation package which includes lots of [Xposed] features. You need to activate the Greenify Xposed Module [once you have the donation package.] Enable the Boost mode and Experimental Features. See screenshots below.

Greenify apps that drain battery in the background use BBS for reference.

In my case they are:

1. All in one toolbox

2. Amazon shopping

3. Appy Gamer

4. AutoMate

5. Brave Brigade

6. Calendar

7. Chase

8. Chrome

9. Crossy Road

10. Dragon Blaze

11. Dropbox

12. eBay

13. Facebook

14. Google+

15. Messenger

16. Twitter

17. TypeMail

18. XDA

Servicely *OPTIONAL*

See attached screenshot for settings and such ( I am running PRO version )

Servicely will kill ANY apps that you have added to the Hit-List, you can change the interval at which it checks [Mine is set to 60seconds]

Only choose apps that have RED lettering under them, stating they can wake the device (and/or apps you don't want running in background)

-Option to set it to screen-off only [That's how I have mine set]

-Aggressive process termination which kills apps even in the foreground that you may have in Hit-List if the phone doesn't deem the process important [I have this checked]

-Start on boot, I would have this checked ;) [I do]

It also has an advanced mode, which lets you turn off individual services but I will not be going over that (We did that with Amplify) that section is *AT YOUR OWN RISK*

*FAQ*

Originally from [MENTION=5401012]Celestial Fury[/MENTION] battery life guide!! :)

Establish Baseline (battery ONLY drain)

Charge battery to full (100%).

Switch phone OFF.

After 7 hours or so turn it on.

To get drain / hour: divide % of battery reduction with number of hours the phone was off. If battery % dropped by 1% after 7 hours, then 1 / 7 = [0.1%/h]. This is your battery ONLY drain, no drain from Android OS, radio signal, WiFi, data, wakelocks, & alarms.

Establish Baseline *Airplane Mode*

Charge battery to full (100%).

Switch phone to Airplane Mode.

After 7 hours or so turn off Airplane Mode.

Check drain in BBS. This is your battery drain from ONLY Airplane mode, no drain from radio signal, WiFi, and data.

Test Idle Battery Drain

Charge battery to full (100%).

Reset Amplify Device Stats NOT Reset to defaults.

(Useful for troubleshooting alarms/wakelocks from troubled apps)

Leave phone idle for 7 hours or more.

Check phone for any unknown reboot (run time in Amplify & BBS must be the same. If BBS has a MUCH shorter time or if it shows "Boot" instead of "Unplugged" then there was a reboot, BBS resets stats after reboot).

Report here for the cause of reboot and do not limit the problem app/wakelock/alarm anymore.

Using BBS as a guide for battery drainage, increase the time of limited alarm(s)/wakelock(s) or limit others

Amplify DOES NOT show DRAIN. BBS does. Don't limit something that doesn't cause drainage (unless it's ads/privacy).

Repeat Step 1.

Testing problems with Amplify

:

In Amplify, RESET Device Stats.

Use the app you have a problem with.

Check in Amplify what alarms/partial wakelocks were triggered.

POSTING DUMPS/REPORTING LOGS:

USE BetterBatteryStats to report logs and dumps. Here's how:

Charge your device to 100 and unplug the device from the charger.

Leave it idle for at least 6 hours (Don't turn on the screen during this period).

Choose "Unplugged" as a start reference and "Screen On" OR "Current" as stop reference (Refer to Screenshots)

Pull a TextDump File from BetterBatteryStats. (Refer to Screenshots)

You'll find the dump in the root of your SDCard. Post the dump in the thread.

Delayed PUSH Notifications: If you are experiencing delayed push notifications, try this app!

I read up on these forums saying that the HBOOT needed updating to 2.00.0029 from the 2.00.0027 my phone is on. On the internet after research it says you have to make a goldcard and then place the ROM.zip re-named "PD98IMG.zip" onto the SD card. Usually in the past I load the RUU.exe and find the ROM.zip file within the temporary folder under Windows, and this has worked fine for my HTC Wildfire s. Unfortunately when I try to open the ROM.zip I'm presented with the following error message

Windows cannot open the folder.
