not really... been super busy... I'm still having problems getting the kernel to compile., there's like a million settings for a kernel, and every time i change one thing, the whole kernel has to try to build again... takes about 15 min per time... just time consuming.. I have my daughter tonight, but she will be in bed by 730... after that, ill be working on it...
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
hey guys and gals...

as ive said... been super busy... haven't really had a chance to work on it... but i think I'm clear tonight, so I'll continue after work...

I'll keep ya posted...
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
Thank you
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
Is it suprising that LG can't deliver a fast ROM for our phone, while almost 3 versions of Android have dropped?
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
Honestly, no. They're not even messing with the G3's anymore. Not with the G5 release, and the MM G4 updates going out. It's called end-of-life. When a product a couple or more generations old stops generating enough revenue for a company to consider it a viable revenue stream, (in terms of cost/profit ratios,) the usual practice is to stop support.

It costs companies assloads of money to pay developers to code for them. Once they put together the base code, in the case of cell phones, the carriers then have to pay people to insert their various bits of bloatware and carrier specific code. Couple that with also having to get the same departments to work on security patches, new software development, etc., and a lot of companies usually say screw it and cut the dead weight.

It could, of course, be argued that it's in their best interests to keep working on them, allowing customers to get the most out of their older devices, but the whole idea of that is gone from the market. This is why companies feed you the bullcrap about needing the nicest, newest crap. It's all about planned obsolescence, and forcing people to keep spending more and more to compete. It's not about the customer, it's about the money, and that's all there is to it.
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
Motorola supported the Moto G 2013 for 2 and a half years, it got ****ing 5.1.1, and now the CyanogenMod community has gotten it 6.0.1, this phone is 1 year old and it doesn't get ****. This is sad LG.
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
An unknown force makes me beleive that the CM13 ROM will be perfected today

I'm not sure if it will happen, but if it does, i will be there to test immediately
[G3 General] derrick101:
I hope everything goes smooth soon, I'm so ready to smash this phone to pieces.
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
hey all

ill be working on it tonight... my ex's father went in for a liver transplant, so its been a little chaotic... my ex went out of town with her family, and i had my daughter while she was gone...

i have a few more things to do todasy before i can settle in, but ill be back in a while... see what i can see...
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
You seem to be a very busy person
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
non stop

---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 PM ----------

non stop lol
[G3 General] derrick101:
Did you have any luck with it last night?
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
Any new progress?
[G3 General] AA27:
Really disappointed here too. I think that this is going to be my first and last LG phone...
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
k guys... got sidetracked again... but i have nothing to do today except work on it, so lets keepo out fingers crossed... i cant even remember where i left off... sometimes thats a good thing, tho... a fresh look...

ill keep u posted...
[G3 General] derrick101:
Gottem crossed!
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
I feel happy, and excited
[G3 General] derrick101:
Right there with you, just really hope it works today can't deal with stock anymore i literally have nothing installed because they take so long to load only have this and Facebook really sad
[G3 General] derrick101:
Any new info. Sorry just curious.
[G3 General] Ions87l:
So today I tested the jagmn ROM again to see if anything would happen and again it reset and booted back into recovery. Afterwards I tried to install the zv6 FOTA in the OP because I have a custom audio mod that I wanted to replace but I have no back up before it was installed. So I went to flash and it failed. I looked at the error and it said Error: 7. I read further and it said that I had jagc 6.0.1 test keys and that it did not have what was required. What do I do I don't have access to my computer and was wondering if there is any way to fix it away from home.
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
try flashing with twrp 2.8.7.0, but im pretty sure you need stock recovery to flash a FOTA. and besides, you need the stock rom installed to flash the fota...
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
you could also try restoring this stock zv6 rom backup from TWRP...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/41xv6eq3jcm7aof/2015-10-16--18-26-15_KOT49I.LS885ZV6.zip?dl=0

however if you have no access to a computer, i guess you might be screwed..
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
This is why you make backups people
[G3 General] Ions87l:
I made a backup but it was on my old 32gb sd that was at home
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
How far are you from home
[G3 General] derrick101:
Are you able to get to android ui? If so flash the twrp recovery with flashify then download and flash the backup from dirtyhewr that should help?
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
That should work but i think he specified that it autoboots to TWRP.
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
Any new news?
[G3 General] derrick101:
Ok, wasn't sure if that's what he meant. Well, if that's the case he needs a computer.
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
still working on it guys.. trying to figure out this kernel problem...
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
Can you explain what happens?
[G3 General] derrick101:
It's just the kernel now? Not the actual rom code?
[G3 General] Ions87l:
I got it running again with my backup but just to see what happens i tried the Fota again and it still says thats i have the jagmn 6.0.1 test keys but its still running the stock back up and its working fine it just doesnt make any sense how im running stock im using it now but it still says that i have 6.0.1 test keys
[G3 General] derrick101:
The jagmn rom works? It's saying it's Louie built off 6.0.1 orr? I'm so confused.
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
the test keys are coming from the recovery... to install the zv6 fota, you have to have the zv5 rom installed, and the stock recovery installed

---------- Post added at 07:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 AM ----------

its always been the kernel... but as ive said, there are a ****load of settings to go thru, and 15 min per recovery build... usually by the time i get home from work, im beat... but i have been working on it... just not 16 hrs at a time like i used 2... lol

I know for a fact this is my last LG Phone, I've had 3 and they were all horrible
[G3 General] derrick101:
Yeah I'm going to switch over to either Motorola or Samsung after this
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
Try a Moto G, the 3rd gen is Waterproof.
[G3 General] derrick101:
Gotta be avail on Sprint though
[G3 General] Ions87l:
In my years as a smartphone user i have never had an issue finding roms. This will be my last LG. Ive tested tons of different phones and i think i can actually say that motorola is my favorite. They seem to know what they are doing. Their audio sampling is by far my favorite. I have a Moto E 2015 Surnia and it far surpasses this phone. I have the same audio mod and it is so much better. The performance is amazing and i got it used off ebay. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted and installed cm13 in a matter of minutes. And my nexus 6 is my go to daily driver. I will say that for the price this LG is a beautiful budget phone, and the fact that there is development rolling at the moment is a reason to keep it but i think by august this phone is getting listed on ebay and i wont look back. I will continue to help with roms and testing until then. But LG just doesnt seem to be as good as everyone has been saying online.

---------- Post added at 06:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

Id recommend getting either the Galaxy S7 or a Moto X Play tbh any phone is better than LG
[G3 General] derrick101:
I was originally going to get the moto x 2013 instead of this one but i liked my moms g2 and my friends g4 so i figured after looking at the specs that it would be better than this

---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

I know that with roms and stuff it will get better but with not so many people owning this phone it's hard.
[G3 General] derrick101:
[MENTION=5369574]dirtyhewr[/MENTION] any news?

---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------

@lons87l same to you?
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
He might be busy, if not, anything good happen to the kernel bugs?
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
ok... I've managed to get the kernel to compile with most of the kernel settings i think it needs... the recovery built and boots... i have a rom build running right now, and it should be done soon... and I'll let you know if it boots... although, i think i would die if it actually does...

keep in mind tho, even when a build finally does boot, probably ALOT will be broken/not working...

---------- Post added at 01:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------

i wouldn't count on roms getting better... perhaps, maybe if we get a working device tree... and down the road... but this device just didn't interest developers for whatever reason...
[G3 General] derrick101:
Yeah true, i get your point.. Just optimistic lol
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
one thing that happened this time, since i added over 200 new kernel settings, is that when i tried to compile it the first time, i got an error... i had to install another program i didn't have installed yet...

I've had builds complete before, pre addition of the new kernel settings... without this program...

so I'm looking at it as a good sign... watching all this stuff fly up the screen, I'm seeing stuff being compiled i haven't seen in previous build attempts...
[G3 General] derrick101:
Giving this build moral support ?
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
another thing it's doing right now is actually compiling with the new android toolchain for marshmallow... i don't remember seeing it do that before either... fingers crossed...
[G3 General] derrick101:
Sorry, what is the tool chain?

---------- Post added at 05:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

And either way it's gotten further than it has yet so even if it's a no go at least you see closer but #prayforcm13 is happening. Lol.
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
the toolchain is basically your compiler... on marshmallow they switched to an experimental compiler called Jack... it's supposed to speed things up, and it launches a server in the background... pretty cool... but its definitely building with jack right now...
[G3 General] derrick101:
And I respond to the comment about things being broken that's expected with a new build
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
I am ready to use the compiled ROM, I've used less stable devices before.
[G3 General] RootSuperSU:
Yea cant wait to see how it goes and test it!!! U think u might give either Slim or S.O.K.P. or another better rom then CM if u get it working?
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
Lets get CM13 first buddy.
[G3 General] derrick101:
I like cm the best out of those roms lol. If he gets it working it would be easy for other devs to port different roms to this phone though so its possible. But even just having cm working would be great.
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
sorry guys... fell asleep last night waiting for the build to finish,,,. didnt boot... hell didnt even get to the cm logo...

however ive had this problem before... i cant even pull a shell up to get a log.... something is yet again set wrong... ill try again after work today... my daughter is on spring break, so i dont have her this weekend, so i imiagine ill be working on it then too...

I've never had an issue streaming while traveling IP wise unless I turn my tether off and turn it back on then it usually changes. I do a lot of traveling myself :). Just not everyday haha. In 2 weeks heading to Virginia Beach :)
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
Well, your TOT fixed my phone bro! It's back in action and I'm a happy S.O.B. lol
[G3 General] PalmCentro:
Will try it next week, thanks
[G3 General] hyelton:
I was pretty sure a tot or a close enough kdz would fix it. It's just tots are not as easy to come by as a kdz. I got a message from another user that they posted a tot betore me I haven't tested it, but I think it's probably the same.
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
Yeah, I just switched back to it. I missed it, compared to that old Galaxy S3 dual-band. Lol

Now to root, restore my old data backup, and go from there.

It wants an update, and I'm considering taking it prior to rooting. Thoughts?

Hello there

I never thought in the back of my mind that I'd me creating an account here, but I feel compelled to after my phone automatically updated to Lollipop last night.

I have an LG G3 Vigor AT&T, model LRX22G, build number LG-D725. I'm looking for a stock KitKat rom to be able to downgrade my phone because Lollipop doesn't work well for my phone. It freezes all over, my battery is tons worse, and nowy phone's storage is almost ran out over a pointless update. Before, my phone worked perfectly and swiftly with very few hiccups. I've rooted my phone for starters but I really need a stock KitKat rom so I can use Odin to flash it over Lollipop so my phone can work again. After that I want to know where I can find a settings to keep my phone from updating automatically because that truly made me angry.

I'd like to let you know that I appreciate a thread like this because it's easy to stumble into a g3 thread as opposed to the g3 Vigor. Anyway, thanks and please help me out!

I understand that you don't have the att version but if you could still try to help me I'd be so grateful
[G3 General] hyelton:
Why not download the tot file I posted and what's in the OP? You cannot use Odin.. That's Samsung. Use lg flash tools from the Op or follow my back to stock guide.
[G3 General] kanamesun147:
I'm working on that but I need some help finding the .dll file for my phone to go with the .tot file.
[G3 General] hyelton:
That is also in the OP.
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
Is the OP so hard to understand?

Sent From A Potato Using Kung-Fu
[G3 General] kanamesun147:
Looks like I can't do it using the flash tool. ls885 isn't my model as I have at&t and it seems that's the only one you have. I appreciate the help as I was irritated earlier so I was trying to find a way to do this quickly so I was skimming through everything
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
S--- happens.

Sent From A Potato Using Kung-Fu
[G3 General] kanamesun147:
You haven't seen any around have you?
[G3 General] hyelton:
There's not. There might be one if you buy It but haven't looked there in a month or so. Your only chance would be to kdz to an identical model I think Rogers might be identical but that's a last resort as it may fully Brick.
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
Has anyone who flashed the TOT had roaming issues? I do really well inside Sprint, but nothing at all when roaming. Domestic roaming is greyed out and refuses to enable.

I have the stock update.zip that came across. I've uploaded it to Google Drive and will update the OP accordingly. It has stock radio, stock recovery, as well as all the security certs and stuff. I tried flashing it and it failed because it says it's for jagc devices and this is a jagn. It's the Sprint FOTA though. Ideas would be helpful.

If someone would like to unzip it and root it, maybe set it up with the TWRP recovery and deodex it, that'd be a great contribution.

Sent From A Potato Using Kung-Fu
[G3 General] hyelton:
Did you try performing a reset? Also usually something like that would be due to your sim (assuming it's an LTE phone).
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
I have. It is indeed an LTE device. I've never had issues with it, prior to the TOT flash.

As far as the ZV5 update, my build.prop does indicate it is JAGC, but the updater script got jagn when it queried the build.prop. I'm gonna try to take it apart with my phone since I don't have a pc available at the moment. If I can get it to flash, i have a feeling it'll fix my roaming issue.

Please help me unbrick my phone like a step by step process. I really need my phone or my parents will be pissed at me. Sorry if this sounds demanding. I am new to rooting and of course I got the one phone with no custom roms.
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
[MENTION=6982532]whatsofunny[/MENTION] Do you have the Sprint version of the phone?

Sent From A Potato Using Kung-Fu
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
Well, i checked my build.prop and it does indeed say JAGC... but I had a look at the recovery logs and everything says JAGN. This is for sure why the damn ZV5 update is failing.

I can't find a reference in the build.prop to JAGN, though...it's weird. Anyone have any ideas?

yea the problem is ive tore this down and started from scratch so many times, i forget what kind of worked, and what didnt... like right now, im tearing it all down again.... the kernel settings are really tricky... one thing set, may require another 5 things to be set, too... there is no direct source for all the kernel settings, and what they even do... but ive been working on it today again... still no boot...

ill keep you all posted...
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
I shouldnt have switched my steam guard from my other phone
[G3 General] derrick101:
You can't use your dirty kernel? Or does it have to be CM kernel?
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
dirty kernel is a kitkat kernel... I've got the kernel compiling now, but still no boot... i dunno guys... in working on it, but still haven't figured it out, and the CM devs are 99% of the time no help... if you can even get one to answer you...
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
You would expect with so many people in the CM community, that they would be helping as many devs as possible.
[G3 General] derrick101:
What about the jagm cm 13 kernel? Not sure if i spelled it right, cause in theory shouldn't you only need to change a few things?
[G3 General] derrick101:
So, today in an attempt to speed up my phone I switch to Art runtime. It is very very laggy. When you phone turns on and works its great but half the time I can't get it to turn on, switching back to dalvik now. Just fyi.
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
Yeah im not going to ART
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
the kernel is the same for any device using msm8226 board... which ours does... its the settings that make it work with our device...

im starting to get pissed thio... still no attempt to boot... no logo... im not quite sure yet why... worked on it all weekend... nothing,.,,
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
hey all... some progress... something is wrong with the init.jagc.rc files... its not initiating correctly... will be working on it after work again...
[G3 General] derrick101:
So you found where the issue lies or?
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
yes i believe so .. it tried to boot last night... no cm logo, but i could pull a log... it's in the init files for sure... getting close... in reconfiguring the device tree, again, lol, and will work on it tonight...

**** well i hope soon. I'm only keeping this phone with the optimism that cm13 will happen. Otherwise I'll open a new line on my account just to get a new phone that's how badly i regret my purchase
