[Verizon LG G3] hamillp:
I flashed this ROM and ran into some problems (my issues not issues with the ROM). I am now trying to downgrade back to 10b using the tot method but everytime I try the flash tool I get to the part where I unplug the phone and plug it back in to start the process, it goes about 2 seconds and fails. When I read the log file this seems to be the error message I am getting:

LAF_ERROR_INVALID_INPUT_FILE

What does this mean and, more importantly, how do I fix it?

Do I need to use a different tot file?

I did a quick search for the 35b tot file and was not able to find one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am pulling out my hair trying to figure this out and I ain't got much left!!!!
[Verizon LG G3] my.ads0:
I couldn't TOT either. I had to use the kdz method. Of note, when I tried to check the phone info button, it never read the phone. I moved ahead anyways. Where it asks foe language, change it from Korean to English, then continue on. The process failed without being able to connect to a server, but gave the option to retry. I followed instructions (restart phone into download mode again) and then, to my delight, everything finished successfully. In a post by the Road Warrior a few posts up, he suggests THEN doing TOT while on 10th after KDZing.

Hopefully this helps.
[Verizon LG G3] hamillp:
Thanks for the reply. I have tried the kdz method numerous times and it errors out everytime. Bascially LGusertool has stopped working.

The only thing I have had any luck with is the tot method. It worked to downgrade me from 49A to 10B but then I messed something up after flashing this ROM and it is stuck in a boot security error so that I can't do anything with the phone except get it in download mode.

With the tot method though I keep getting this error:

LAF_ERROR_INVALID_INPUT_FILE

Trying to figure out if I need to use a different tot file or a different dll file. No idea what else could be causing the error.

Thank you!!! The kdz method had NEVER worked for me before. I have no idea what I did differently this time. In fact, the only thing that had changed was that I had removed the sdcard before doing it this time. The tool got to 99% and then I got the LGUsertool has stopped but it appears to have done the trick and installed 10b.

Thanks again and thanks to Road Warrior as well. I certainly appreciate it. I spent a LOT of hours trying to figure this one out!

Did you keep the Qremote app or did you remove it? Moreover, can I flash the Gapps with this ROM? Thanks in advance

Battery drain

Hi, everyone, i installed this rom, but battery is drain a lot, just 4 or 5 hrs using fb and surfing web.

yesterday bought a new battery and same.

any help? suggestion?

thanks
[Verizon LG G3] xdabbeb:
Get me a kdz and I'll see if I can find the time to do so. No promises, however, as I have a lot going on IRL.
[Verizon LG G3] my.ads0:
Qremote is enabled by default, but running the debloat script will disable it.

Isn't flashing gapps only for CM-based roms? In any case, no, do not flash gapps. Follow the op's instructions, and that's it.
[Verizon LG G3] farhanshaikh671:
Oh okay. Thanks for the information. But why does the debloat script removes the core apps also?
[Verizon LG G3] my.ads0:
Can't answer that as that was up to the dev. This ROM is so heavily debloated to begin with, you could just skip the debloat script as it only removed another dozen or so things. Alternatively, you can very easily go in and modify the script (the path is in the op) to leave Q Remote intact.
[Verizon LG G3] russ722:
Anyone have a fix for "sim card not from verizon"? I tried g3 tweakbox (purchased) but still no go. Im using phone on metropcs.
[Verizon LG G3] SofaSpud:
That error msg about not being able to connect to the server is a false error, and has to be ignored. You just have to leave it there on the screen, without clicking on anything. The flash process is actually taking place. I'm sure that it has caused a mountain of confusion & problems for all kinds of people (as was the case for me) who cancel out of the process to retry, only to be confronted with the same thing on the next pass.

Perhaps a cultural / language issue from a non English speaking programmer or something.
[Verizon LG G3] my.ads0:
AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! So many headaches and heartaches could have been avoided had I known this!

Heh. Thanks.
[Verizon LG G3] YuckerDisMe:
I appreciate you being willing to update it when you have the time but i haven't had any luck finding a KDZ for it :(

I think the last person who actively updated/maintained the KDZ's was roirraW "edor" ehT but he no longer has his G3 i believe
[Verizon LG G3] jlb1959.01:
I'm lost here,what would a new security patch have anything to do with a heavily debloated ROM(which this ROM is). my phone gets fantastic battery life,I charge even night and able to go all day without a charge and I have the 2 worst battery apps( messenger,Facebook). the patch would seem to be for standard Verizon,not anything to do with this ROM??
[Verizon LG G3] YuckerDisMe:
The security patch fixes vulnerabilities and security issues with the system. It isn't anything that needs to be debloated as it is part of the system . You wont necessarily notice a difference in daily use but you will have the added piece of mind that you are not open to most of the new methods for attacking android phones. Xdabbeb is an excellent developer and wouldn't add something to the ROM that would negatively effect it.
[Verizon LG G3] jlb1959.01:
i guess you have misunderstood me. in comments above my remark someone said the patch will effect this rom. in short what im saying is unless you buy a phone in 2016 late 2016 it has nothing to do with the rom. you root a phone 2 yrs old and that patch doesnt apply. again i run this rom and ran his lp version for yrs. i get fantastic battery life maonly because his roms are debloated. i charge a phone overnite and it lasts all day.
[Verizon LG G3] YuckerDisMe:
It doesn't matter when you buy a phone. Both Google and the OEM providers push out security updates to their devices. Verizon just pushed this security update out to the LG G3 but since we are rooted we are unable to take the OTA update. The developer would need to add the security update to the ROM. If he does add it to the ROM, the ROM will still be debloated so you will still have the same battery life you have now. The only way it will affect the ROM is by fixing vulnerabilities in the system. If you look at the changelogs for not just this ROM but any ROM, the developers always provide the latest updates that are pushed out if they are actively developing the ROM.
[Verizon LG G3] jlb1959.01:
could go on for ever but if you read my response to a reason for bad battery life on this ROM that is what I said.

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

as I said before,this ROM is heavily debloated as he states,which if a person checks their phone they would understand with THIS ROM you will not get ota updates which as you said as well as myself you will not get those security updates.and to get slightly off the beaten path,MOST people who root also block ota updates so again the patch means nothing,that's what I meant when the question of security patch was mentioned,hopefully I explained my response to a complaint about poor battery life.lol I guess I won't comment much more as my words i assume are confusing a poor battery life on this ROM.
[Verizon LG G3] xdabbeb:
Yes, he has moved on to a couple of new phones (as have I), but I believe all he was ever doing was reverting to stock so he could use the LG/Verizon desktop update program and then copying/uploading the kdz from the tmp folder. You could ask him directly if you wish to duplicate the process. He's a great guy and happy to help when he has the time. I have already requested the kernel src.
[Verizon LG G3] djevil:
I use the 35b bootstack and I still have issues when I flash ROM Gapps 35b bootstack I bump I into two biggest issues data and calling out any ROM I flash including 7.1.1 so I went back to stock with root BC is confusing me I try everything I follow the guide correctly. I wonder what I'm doing wrong?
[Verizon LG G3] YuckerDisMe:
This is a stock ROM so you do not want to flash the gapps. All of the apps that you will need are already in the ROM itself.
[Verizon LG G3] djevil:
Here is the point I'm running 5.1.1 liquid smooth right now I got baseband but when I flash 7.1.1 it says unknown baseband
[Verizon LG G3] YuckerDisMe:
I would put your question in the thread for the ROM you are trying to flash or their Q&A thread if they have one. That way you are more likely to get help, since this thread is for neither of those ROM's.
[Verizon LG G3] djevil:
U can u flash 25b and 35b like if u want to flash a ROM that's 7.1.1 do I need to flash 25b to 35b then flash a rom
[Verizon LG G3] Reznor7:
This is exactly my experience. The phone seems to connect, but then the device disappears from the list and it never finalizes.
[Verizon LG G3] Why-Fi:
this works for me.

wipe system/data/cache

install 35b bootstack

wipe cache

install rom (gapps if not stock)

install 35b bootstack again

factory data reset

the baseband sticks every time
[Verizon LG G3] brochild:
cant set APN properties

All in the sudden, I can no longer send MMS or text messages with pictures.

I cannot edit my APN properties, the ROM is only allowing the name to be changed.

It is currently set to the default value, VZWINTERNET.

Any suggestions?
[Verizon LG G3] Why-Fi:
I found this in a search

https://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one/help/add-edit-apn-settings-help-t2956819

Also, check your baseband. If it says "unknown", flash the 35b bootstack.
[Verizon LG G3] djevil:
Bro that don't work I have the same issue I flash 35b and still samething I'm on vs985
[Verizon LG G3] brochild:
Thanks, but that did not work for me.

I need to find a way to add my APN values.
[Verizon LG G3] djevil:
Flash a ROM go with teamoctos u be good to go
[Verizon LG G3] brochild:
Thanks for replying to me.

Yes, I did not try to re-flash my radio, but I believe that I am already on the 35b version.

Keep in mind, its been since October that I flashed this ROM and Radio.

All has been wonderful, until about a few weeks ago.

---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------

Sorry my brother, I need more input on the teamoctos ROM.

How does flashing this ROM help?

I need to know what exactly is causing me to not be able to enter my APN values?

and how to solve this issue.

Thanks anyway for your reply.
[Verizon LG G3] Why-Fi:
OctOS is based on cm/lineage. you can find out all you need to know from those threads. great ROMs though.

stock Android doesn't allow editing apn's
[Verizon LG G3] NatesLaw:
Don't just flash 35b bootstack. You also need to flash the 35b modem as well. XDABBEB has a thread with VS985 bootstacks & modems.

---------- Post added at 03:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 PM ----------

You're cracking me up, splashing your octo ROM advertising on every thread. I hope they're paying you well. HaHa :laugh:
[Verizon LG G3] jlb1959.01:
on xdabbeb you do not flash modem,as far as I've read you flash exactly as he says,,bootstack and ROM,not modem....
[Verizon LG G3] NatesLaw:
Have you actually tried flashing the modem? I flash both bootstack & modem on any and all ROMs I try and they all work perfectly. The modem is the actual "radio" for receiving the signals. Many ROMs screw up the modem (one REAL popular one I won't mention) so sometimes you may HAVE to flash the modem just to even have one on your phone.
[Verizon LG G3] Why-Fi:
bootstacks have the modem included in the .zip file. they are compiled of the required codes to enable connectivity services.
[Verizon LG G3] NatesLaw:
I read long ago (skydragon maybe) from people much smarter than me that it's always a good idea to flash both.

Also, coming from another (super popular) stock ROM, that claimed to be "all variants" (it wasn't) it removed the modem and just reflashing the bootstack wouldn't work. I HAD to flash the modem separately to get APN and LTE to work again (wifi was fine).

Anyway, I wouldn't call what I'm giving "advice", just merely suggestions. But they are based on experience and I've never had these connectivity issues that so many people are reporting who either a) don't flash modems separately and/or b) keep flashing another version (ie: 24b) along with 35b, etc.

Whether you try what I suggest or not won't hurt my feelings. :cool:
[Verizon LG G3] Why-Fi:
that works. you're the first that I have seen to give an alternative. the clarification as to the "why" is an immense help.
[Verizon LG G3] djevil:
I flash 35b and still it says unknown baseband
[Verizon LG G3] NatesLaw:
CORRECTION: The 35b modem was produced by hasbdr, NOT XDABBEB.

For the separate 35b modem go to hssbdr's Jasmine ROM (LP) for VS985, you'll see a bunch of modems (from 10b to 35b). Here's a link to the 35b modem:

Good luck!
[Verizon LG G3] jlb1959.01:
kinda getting of the beaten path,from the PIC it appears to be resurrection 7.2,,not being the smartest either why is it being posted in the xdabbebs 3.1 posts.resurrection is a totally different ROM.should be asking them??? all I know from my experience with any ROM,never take short cuts,now for example the post(xdabbebs) states do as I post,not responsible for damage done,flash 35b bootstack,ROM(3.1).,, again ur talking about resurrection in xdabbebs,try complaining to the resurrection,because if you total wipe then do as xdabbeb post says theirs no solution for fixing a problem from another ROM??,,if ur trying to get out of resurrection I would ask their forum..
[Verizon LG G3] djevil:
So that 35b by hasbdr will get rid of unknown baseband so what's the flash steps to instill 7.1.1
[Verizon LG G3] NatesLaw:
That should do it. Just make sure you clean flash.

See my response to you in the other thread for details.

Good luck.
[Verizon LG G3] djevil:
That didn't work
[Verizon LG G3] NatesLaw:
I'm sorry to hear that.

Good luck.
[Verizon LG G3] djevil:
They need to make one for 7.1.1 24b works good with 5.1.1 and 35b works better with 7.1.1 octos ? why does other ROMs have unknown baseband issues
[Verizon LG G3] NatesLaw:
I don't know.

I've been using 35b since hasbdr's last update of Skydragon for Lollipop and never had any issues like you're talking about whether stock or aosp (only the one stock ROM and that's because they claimed to be "all variants" when they clearly were not made for VS985).

Honestly, if you can find the tot threads or kdz threads you might be a good candidate to "clean" your phone and start over. I've done that once each way (tot was better as kdz isn't a complete wipe) but still it helped when I've done other stupid things to brick my phone.

I think you have a corrupt partition from flashing a broken Rom.

[Verizon LG G3] djevil:
Bro all the ROMs never was broken that's what I'm saying is ROMs that people build they don't know what they doing and they leave things out. I'm still on teamoctos if I go to 5.1.1 everything works with call out so what's the difference u tell me
[Verizon LG G3] DJRobBlaze:
5.1.1 is lollipop, a completely different base than 6.0 marshmallow.

Teamoctos has probably built their base from the lollipop build.

You could have taken my advice over a week ago and restored your original partitions and tried to flash something different from there but you didn't do that, instead you are posting on all of these forums and no one has been able to help you.

3Minit battery mod + remove Lockscreen circle - courtesy of [MENTION=5094222]netookska05[/MENTION]
[Verizon LG G3] netookska05:
The 3minit mod was done by me. I added the mod which allows you to add different batteries with charging animation and percent and removed the round circle around the clock on the lockscreen. Make a backup and flash them if you don't like them the restore back to your backup.

If you flash the 3minit mod let me know if it works.
[Verizon LG G3] dirty_smurf45:
Hi guys,

I've been using the ROM for a few days and everything seems great, except for a problem I have with waking up the device.

Double tap to wake and my knock code aren't picked up a few moments after I sleep the device. I'm pretty used to the dt2w feature so I'd like to fix this issue. Also when in this state, I have to press the power button on the back twice for it to reawaken. Has anyone had this issue? I've searched the thread with different terms but get no relevant results.

I also have some lock screen text cut (in picture). I never flashed the 3minit mod with the circle remover so I don't know what is going here.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Juan
[Verizon LG G3] netookska05:
What battery mod are you using?
[Verizon LG G3] dirty_smurf45:
From the kernel/firmware options in OP, I'm using:

-tune lg's interactive gov

-disable lg oversharpening

-enable SEAndroid permissive (I just removed it since it wasn't working with ViPER4Android. I now set to permissive manually via terminal emulator)

I'm also using L Speed by paget96, though I believe the problem was there before I began using L Speed.

I'm going to see if the permissive file was the problem. I'll report back later on this. I'm about to test the 3minit mod to see if it fixes the lock screen text. Will report back on this as well.
[Verizon LG G3] dirty_smurf45:
[MENTION=5094222]netookska05[/MENTION]

The problem persists. I had L Speed set to default all day and the permissive file removed. Do you have any idea as to what the cause of my waking problem could be?

Btw flashing the 3minit mod on 3.1.1 gave me a SystemUI has crashed window upon boot. Retried and cleared Dalvik and Cache and the same window appeared. Is this to be flashed after flashing the ROM for the first time?
[Verizon LG G3] netookska05:
The 3minit mod should have worked fine. Can you reflash the ROM and get it up running and see if your issue is still there. If it is not reboot and flash the 3minit mod. Report back
[Verizon LG G3] dirty_smurf45:
I reflashed the ROM along with Xposed and the 3minit mod at the end. Result was the same System UI stopped window. I then reflashed everything except for the 3minit mod to see if the problem would still be there. I didn't use L Speed nor the battery file mentioned in OP.

Unfortunately, the problem reappeared, but this time I looked at a logcat immediately after the occurrence and found out that the phone thinks it's still in the pocket (pocket mode). It also says later that pocket mode is overridden when user presses the power button twice, which is my case. I'd upload a logcat but the size exceeds limits.

Now that I know that pocket mode is the issue, do you (or anyone else) know a way where I can adjust pocket mode, or disable it if I have to (idk what this is gonna do to prox sensor during calls)?

Thanks,

Juan

Btw that cut lock screen text reappeared as well, but it doesn't seem to be connected so it's fine.
[Verizon LG G3] netookska05:
You flashed exposed that's why you had a sysyemui crash and the lock screen text thing appeared. You should have tested the 3minit mod without flashing any other mod.

Flash ROM let it boot and get it up and running no mods.

Reboot into twrp then flash 3minit and reboot. I just did all that and I have no errors.
[Verizon LG G3] dirty_smurf45:
Just did that. Same problems. Here's a sort of timeline:

-wiped all except internal storage in TWRP.

-flashed 35b bootstacks, flashed ROM, booted. no xposed

-upon boot and set up without sim, I enabled airplane mode, developer options, enabled usb debugging, changed the three animation options to 5x, and set my knock code.

-slept phone for about 5 minutes.

-tried to wake but didn't unless I double pressed power button. I checked the logcat afterwards and saw that it detected that my phone was in pocket mode.

-once I saw that the issue was still present, I rebooted and flashed the 3minit mod in hopes that this issue would go away.

-system ui crashed.

The cut text no longer bothers me, but the wake problems do. Apparently Xposed had nothing to do with this. Do you know how I can fix the pocket mode issue or alter pocket mode settings?
[Verizon LG G3] jlb1959.01:
I use xposed and have had no problem with pocket mod,double tap etc.doesn't help ur problem but at least you know its not because of xposed.
[Verizon LG G3] netookska05:
Have you looked in the hidden menu at all. I believe there is a setting in there to enable. There maybe a proximity sensor issue too. Can you flash one of the newer versions for the vs985 like the 49A rom and see if the issue is still there.
[Verizon LG G3] dirty_smurf45:
Where is the hidden menu? I never was on stock for longer than a few hours when I got my G3. I'll flash the newer version later if I have time today.

EDIT: I'm assuming you meant this one:

https://xdaforums.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/mod-unlock-verizon-hidden-menu-t2822925

Is there any risk of breaking anything? If I flash 49A would there be any issue downgrading?
[Verizon LG G3] dirty_smurf45:
I might know what the real problem is. My front camera is filled with dust. I don't know how it even got there but I'm thinking that the proximity sensor hole is covered as well, making my phone think it's always in the pocket.

Whenever I made calls through Facebook Messenger, the screen went black as soon as I connected with the other person. I'm guessing this is due to the dust-on-proximity-sensor problem. The same happened on mg previous ROM, MM RR. However, there was a feature to disable "check for device in pocket", which I used, so dt2w worked (calls remained the same. I guess it still used proximity sensor).

I don't really see any dust in the holes next to the camera, but they're dark so I can't say whether there actually is or not. I might try opening the phone to clean the holes before I acces the hidden menu or upgrade to 49A.

EDIT: The problem was the dust inside the proximity sensor hole. Opened up the G3, cleaned that section, and everything is fine so far.
[Verizon LG G3] netookska05:
Just to confirm your suspicion about the dust. I am on the 3.1.1 now and it is running very well no problems at all.
