I'm in the same boat - got this Verizon LG G2 from my sister fixed the LCD screen because the digitizer had dead spots. Can't root tried every method I could find and Verizon appears to have patched any working exploits. Also have the same oversensitive proximity sensor. Great job Verizon!!!

UPDATE:

I have root finally! Flash the prior software version 39a as I was not able to get anywhere with 39aa. Used Kingroot to obtain root and installed recovery!!! I installed Xposed and adjusted the values for the proximity and light sensors so that is no longer an issue also.
[Verizon LG G2] Furqan Ullah:
Hi, I used king root so many times and failed but yesterday after reading your post I thought to give another try. And it worked successful this time. They updated the root method for LG. Anyways Huge thanks dear!! Regards.
[Verizon LG G2] Suleman bashir:
You are always welcome dear
[Verizon LG G2] Furqan Ullah:
One issue I m facing. I want to use Hotspot so I replace the Hotspot provision file with the updated mod provided by some one in another thread. But I m facing issues after doing all the stuff. Do u have any idea about that?
[Verizon LG G2] Suleman bashir:
Hi mate,

I have used the method from this link that fix my problem i hope yours too give it a try n let me know

http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-enable-wifi-tethering-on-verizon-lg-g2-vs980/
[Verizon LG G2] Furqan Ullah:
Thanks for your reply. I will try and let you know. Regards

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

Man u r great. My another problem is resolved. Hotspot is now working. Sometimes a message appears that you cannot use Hotspot as Verizon sim is not detected. But when I switch three or four times on and off, the Hotspot enabled. Huge thanks.

One more question, I want to install custom recovery? Which is suitable for 39A? Thanks in advance. [emoji4] [emoji4]
[Verizon LG G2] Suleman bashir:
Ok now go to playstore and type "autorec" in searchbar and select correct varient of your mobile and in in your case select vs980 if you are using verizon mobile . install it and follow the simple instruction and volla there you go you have successfully installed twrp recovery the best of all
[Verizon LG G2] Furqan Ullah:
I m extremely thankful to you for all your help. I successfully installed TWRP as per your guidance using autorec. Thanks alot.

Now what do u suggest about custom rom? Should I go for cynagenmod Marshmallow?
[Verizon LG G2] Suleman bashir:
Furqan honestly i will not suggest you cynogenmod M . its in the development stage and i will not recommend it for the daily driver , im also waiting for its final stable release , then i can say something ,

Im just happy with stock
[Verizon LG G2] Furqan Ullah:
My stock is too much laggy. I used cyanogen for my S3 and it was working wonderful. I was using lollipop for my S3. That was stable, fast and was packed with features. The LG G2 rom is dead slow. Thanks Suleman for your time and valuable comments.
[Verizon LG G2] Suleman bashir:
Im not saying its bad to flash i personally recommend it to you but in stable form ,as it has bugs and in development stage n one more thing if you are camera lover then cynogenmod cam sucks your expectations , stock cam is far way better than this . if you really interested to flash something then go for xdabbes rom which is stock based , search the forum and you will get that,

Good luck
[Verizon LG G2] Furqan Ullah:
Thanks. I will try and will let you know. Regards,
[Verizon LG G2] hankbizzo5:
The working method for me was to use LG Root Script v1.2 along with the LG_VZW_United_WHQL_v2.20.0 (drivers).. You will have to run the program a few times but it will work.. Just keep trying and when it does not work long press power for like 15 seconds to reboot then try it again..
[Verizon LG G2] SkuLL.:
Hey, you had software version VS9803aa and flashed back to VS98039a to get root and install recovery? I am on software version VS9803aa, can i flash stock VS98039a ?
[Verizon LG G2] haevolution:
Yes that's exactly what I had to do - I was on aa and flashed back to a. After that I got kingroot to work.
[Verizon LG G2] SkuLL.:
Thanks man, i'll try. I had rooted my VS9803aa, but i was having problem installing TWRP, autorec didnt work for me. :/ How did you install TWRP on VS98039a?

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

Also how did you flash back to 39a? Did you use KDZ method?
[Verizon LG G2] haevolution:
Honestly I don't remember but I had no difficulty whatsoever doing it.
[Verizon LG G2] USAXR6:
I just rooted my verizon lg g2 5.02 (3AA) using kingroot apk. When you run kingroot it might need updating ( notification panel will tell you). King root install its own superuser ( kinda sucks). It is easy to replace the superuser with your choice you just have to jump through a few hoops..

I hope it clears up confusion
[Verizon LG G2] Haseeb AKBAR:
I was able to root my lg g2 vs980 running on vs9803AA

By lg one click root method it is very easy and quick method ,download and instruction here:

[Verizon LG G2] Furqan Ullah:
After all our discussion, I installed CMG 13 and all went great. Last week I mistakenly deleted my system image and then I re searched that cm 13 for lg g2 and installed. But now this time the radio didn't worked. I remember this was the known issue and the key to fix was to set the mobile network in the very first boot after install, other wise the radio didn't worked either at that time as well. This time I did the same thing but still not lucky to get the radio worked. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
[Verizon LG G2] gonna.act.right:
Ok peoples... Sorry bout grave digging.

I'm thread drunk, I've scrolled through these pages looking for what works on 3aa OTA.. I dumped this phone back in Jan '16 due to the 39a & 3aa OTA screwing everything up on my connectivity. Can somebody please point me to the root method that works til I can get my HTC screen fixed ?

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jasonthegreat2007:
i rooted my phone and currently running cm 12. now my chaarging port isnt working. i have to be switching batteries with my girlfriend everytime mines die.

im still under the given warranty. so i can return my phone and get a new one. problem is...i cant connect my phone back to a computer to unroot it and put the stock firmware on it cause the port isnt working and my computer isnt regonizing my pone at all.

is there a way to unroot and flash stock firmware without a pc?

will samsung send it back to me cuz i rooted it?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] yakabud:
It happened to me before on SG S4. They replace it even if it was rooted, and using custom rom. The sales guy said it's a hardware issue and not a software.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jasonthegreat2007:
thank u for u reply. u think it matter which carrier?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aaldiar:
You mean, bought from one carrier and using the phone with a different carrier? Typically the carrier you purchased the phone with takes care of warranties. But if you've stopped using that carrier and moved to a different one then warranty is now void.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] yakabud:
I think it does matter. My carrier is TMOBILE and I went to TMOBILE store. They just replace it then and there
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Soured Lie:
Doesn't matter which carrier. But there is a difference between warranty and insurance. Insurance it doesnt matter. They are third party and won't even look at the phone. Don't even say anything. You could even just smash it and get a new one.

But if it is manufacturer warranty you might run into an issue if you have to send it to samsung. If you are bringing it back to where you purchased it, just bring it back. They aren't going to go through all of that. These people are just reps and all that. They should just switch it out.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jasonthegreat2007:
I just got the replacement today. I'm gonna send the broken phone to them 2maro. U thonk they will charge me a fee if it's rooted? What u think will happen?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] yakabud:
Don't sweat it too much. If you worry too much you won't enjoy your new phone. [emoji120]
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dragon4000:
I don't think it should matter. I worked at T-Mo for several years and the reps mainly don't know anything about root. As long as you "play dumb", meaning that you deny any type of knowledge, and just say that you got "an update and it restarted and got stuck like that" you should be ok. If they charge you, it will be for $175 but you can fight it off. I've taken away several fees to some customers. Even when they were at fault.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Soured Lie:
It's not t-mobile who deals with it. It's a third party insurance agency who deals with it. So no you will be one hundred percent fine. I have sent back phones with CM on it. Stock rooted with Knox tripped and so on. Never had an issue. It's going to go in a pile, it will have stock firmware flashed on it to be sold as certified used, or taken for parts. You will most likely not hear anything about it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jasonthegreat2007:
OK thanks everyone. I feel better now. Lol. I'm not worried anymore. :) I just didn't wanna get charged
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AUsome360:
I just got my Note 3 working thanks to this group. When I first got it, it was without a battery and was locked by PIN. I was able to wipe it to factory conditions, but now it will not charge. It charged right away when I first got a replacement (OEM) battery, but then, I did the system factory reset, and now it will not charge. I am using a USB 3.0 cable and connecting this to my Apple charger I got with my iPhone 6 as I don't have a specific charger that might have come with the Note 3...just a generic USB 3.0 cable and the iPhone 6 charger that the USB cable plugs into. Any thoughts for me to try?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S2_brickmaker:
Try plugging the cable into a computer. It might not charge fast but it will let u know if it will charge or not. Iphone charger might not be compatible so battery will not charge.

If I helped Hit the Thanks Button Like This?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AUsome360:
I have tried using the computer and that is part of my confusion...the phone will indicate it is charging...but it doesn't. I get the same indication whether I am using the computer with USB 3.0 cable, or using various wall charger pods with the same cable. It will show the charging symbol (lightning bolt) or, if turned off, but plugged in, it will show the upflowing green drops rising toward the battery. So, it seems to indicate it is charging, but the charge percentage never increases...only drops.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donc113:
It's not unheard of for a brand new battery to be defective. If you know someone else with a Note 3...try swapping batteries with then and see if the problem moves with the battery.

There is nothing in a factory refresh that would effect the charging circuit.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaisanNYC:
Looking at my settings tonight, I see a weird IP address assigned to my device. Mind you, I am not on wi-fi, Just T-Mobile LTE, and the only bluetooth device connected is my Moto 360 watch. I look up the IP address and it comes back to a US Department of Defense IP address, and associated with a *.mil email address. Weird! So I google IP Lookup and do a tracer on my phone. I did this to 3 different sites, and they all tell me that my phone is on T-Mobile and the ip address starts with 172.xxx.xxx.xx. But even after a reboot, I am still seeing this DoD IP address in my phone settings!

Some forums have come up in my searches saying that they have seen similar DoD entries in PeerkBlock and firewalls, but i swear I don't torrent on the phone. All I do is listen to Pandora and TuneIn all day at work!

Please don't make me call Jesse Ventura for another conspiracy theory tv show lol Has anyone come across something like this?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rapatelrocky:
Yes, apparently telecoms are using DoD address space internally for private IP address space. Just switched from IPv4/IPv6 to just IPv6 and that avoids the issue. You'll still get a public IPv4 address even when using IPv6. Apps also get an IPv4 address locally for backwards compatabiltiy (192.0.0.x right now on my phone).
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanm93:
Couple of weeks ago I tried updating my MT7_L09 to Lollipop while playing Dota. I didn't read something properly and probably filled it with bad firmware. Anyway I was completely beat so I tried getting the local phone shop to repair it. They had no luck either.

A week after getting it back I thought I'd have another crack at it. Somehow I got fastboot to come up and very carefully tried to fix it. Read absolutely everything I could before flashing things. Lost fastboot again.

Current phone status is:

Normal start - Vibrate Once, Black Screen

Recovery - Absolutely no feedback, Black Screen

Fastboot - Vibrate Once, Black Screen

Three Button Hard Reset - Huawei Ascend logo forever. If I hold in the buttons for >20 sec (including power), I get a series of LED flashes upon releasing all the buttons (3x Green, 1x Red, repeated 3x). I read somewhere that this indicates modem failure or something?

Tried every MT7_L09 UPDATE.APP i could find to no avail. Tried running adb and fastboot against each device state. Tried multiple cables. Tried multiple SD cards. Tried multiple computers. Tried B328 just now.

Since I got an out of warranty screen repair a bit over a month ago, Huawei wants $44 for me to send the phone to their service centre in Sydney before they tell me how much it will cost to fix it.

Should I play dumb and try returning it to Vodafone or is their something I haven't tried?

Thanks for reading
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AleSSi0:
Same.

News?
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanm93:
I ended up returning it to Vodafone and ~selectively~ telling the truth.

"It was updating and then it never turned back on. I charged it for days and got nowhere. I tried going into recovery mode and couldn't even get that working"

Vodafone lady marked my phone condition on the service form as "as new" under everything. They sent it off to Huawei techs who gave up and then a few days later I got given a completely new phone much to my shock.

Moral of the story is that the stock recovery beats any custom ones because if you don't have access to the 3 button reset you're screwed.

Good luck

I can't find any info on rooting this tablet. Model X11, Android 5.1.1, firmware v3.3rc5, kernel version 3.4.39, build number LMY47V.20150919. I tried towelroot and kingoroot without any luck. Any advice you could provide would be great. Thanks.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] adamelphick:
I found that the DiVx converter from DiVx works brilliantly if you set it to 'mobile'... I dont get any of these issues that everyone else seems to have - I use the official DiVx player on the Ameo and its great full screen.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
I had tried that some months ago and wasn't that impressed, but maybe they have improved it. What version are you using?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fallenczar:
Hey Mark,

A couple of things that might work...try running your video's with your advantage plugged in..

another thing...if you have 16:9 video convert it into 532x300

that consistently gives me good result...

and last but not the least...try splitting your video into smaller files...none larger than 600mb
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] adamelphick:
The player on my Ameo is version 0.88 andthe DivX converter is version 6. Hope that helps.

It rips straight from DVD to my Ameo SD card too.... quite quick. Although I am having problems with no subtitles at the mo the rest is fine.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Thanks my friend.;) I'll try those suggestions and let you know.:)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Cheers for that mate,;) Just downloading it now, will try it soon.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fallenczar:
Hey Mark!

Since you seem to have loads of free time :) why don't you try converting your video to .mov, try it with a small 20-40 mb movie clip first..

if my memory serves me right then you should be able to get better results with it...though converion to mov if time consuming
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Blimey, I haven't used that format for years, except for downloads from Apple.com...thanks for the tip. I'll look into it once I get some more free time.;)

Will the Advantage play a 640x480 .wmv in Windows Media Player?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] panvita:
I discovered that TCPMP can not play full screen. As I have installed SmartMovie which can play full screen movie beautifully, therefore I do not bother to try run TCPMP to play movies, just use TCPMP to play music with enlarged lyrics appearing at the same time along with the pace of music. That is a joy forever.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Possibly, if the encoding specs match that of the ones outlined in the Athena Handbook, but I believe you will get better performance from using MP4 under WMP as it will use the Imageon Hardware decoder that Coreplayer cannot use.

However from my experience, WMP is far too restrictive, hence TCPMP/Coreplayer is the best on the market. .wmv is pretty crap for PPC playback IMHO compared other formats. .wmv is fine on Full blown PC though.:)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
No disrespect panvita, but you obviously have no idea what I've been talking about. Take any of those movies that you say is full screen in Smart Movie and run some test with it,(I use the latest version) and the Smartmovie converter cannot even encode at full VGA 640x480 by default and the PPC SmartMovie player doesn't like most videos encoded by other encoders (its limited).

What I'm trying to say is SmartMovie Player on the PPC is inferior by far to TCPMP and Coreplayer. Check the options in SmartMovie player to show framerate whilst a movie is playing and check the actual resolution too. I think you'll find that it is more often than not, Not real VGA res and when it is, your frame-rate will be terribly slow.

Then run the same movie file in TCPMP or Coreplayer and check your property settings after playing your movie file and you'll see again the frame rate achieved and how many frames were dropped.

Don't mean to sound arrogant or like a Mr Know-it-all, but it is pretty much common knowledge that Coreplayer and TCPMP is far superior to all other PPC based Video players on the market to date, even though 'It' still has its shortcomings.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] juiceppc:
Core is good but if my main objective is to watch my movies(of which all are .wmv) full screen with no hiccups then why not just use WMP to do that. I like .wmv for it's simplicity. But that's just me.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
I can't argue with that at all. Coreplayer is crap for WMV but that is exactly the format WMP likes to play.;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] simonsalo:
