FTF FILE

Does anyone have the FTF file for the LG G4 VS986?
[Verizon LG G4] killa408shark:
Right now I'm on the edge plan and I'm paying about $145-$147 for 2 lines with a 28% discount a month. I went to the T-Mobile store for 2 lines 12gb and 1 phone regular price and the other half after taxes and the discount I will be paying around $110
[Verizon LG G4] Katmeat:
I will take thanks for Verizon finally releasing Marshmallow for the VS986. Last Friday, I threw in the towel after deciding that I would never again purchase a locked phone. I ordered a Nexus 6P that arrived Tuesday am just as word broke that the MM release was imminent for the G4.

I couldn't be happier with the Nexus because it allows me to stay with Verizon and their great coverage and business discounts without suffering the ridiculous delays in their device updates. I fired up the 6P and the Google February update to 6.01 downloaded. We will probably see that from Verizon about Thanksgiving.

Anyway, I wanted to mention this as an option for those thinking of switching carriers.
[Verizon LG G4] cowsquad:
Verizon has a great service. No doubt about that. They don't throttle data. But the lock options on devices drive me crazy. I should get a Nexus device too. How is the N6P compared with the LG4?
[Verizon LG G4] rustypie:
More than likely it's because the video editor app doesn't like the 540 DPI. I would suggest changing the DPI back to the stock 640 and trying again. I can't comment personally on your issue because I never edited a video. I also made the jump to 24C (Marshmallow) so I cant test. So far, my G4 is running really smooth on MM.
[Verizon LG G4] rustypie:
Just curious what field you work in that gets you 28% disc.... I've heard of up to 25 but not 28.
[Verizon LG G4] Dyscalculic:
I think you guys mentioning your monthly bills are paying way too much and through the nose.

I can't find myself with enough reasons to pay that much.

Even att doesn't charge you as much as that. Try cricket. Good service, not the best, but you basically pay $35 - $45 per line for just as much of features.

My other line is an at&t $69.99 data only plan with worldwide global unlimited roaming data. Since I started paying so little for cricket, I've been hating paying that much for unlimited data.
[Verizon LG G4] killa408shark:
I work for Coca-Cola we get 28% off the Bill and 25% on accessories. But still I think I'm paying to much that's why I think I'm gonna switch to T-Mobile
[Verizon LG G4] biggestmexi:
Has it been mentioned how to kill the update notification? I know other people that are getting it as well and the thread that for safe to freeze apps has one listed to stop otA but it didn't work.
[Verizon LG G4] larsdennert:
Freeze lgdmsclient but the Ota won't take with root anyway I think.

Btw i have my kids on usmobile with some spare iphones. $12.70 per month with taxes. There are cheaper and more pricey plans too. Operates on T-Mobile.

[Verizon LG G4] Stettin:
Hi guys, I unfroze my OTA and got the notice that there was a system update. How can I be sure it won't upgrade me straight to Marshmallow? I'm currently on 10B.
[Verizon LG G4] larsdennert:
There is no ota update file that goes from 10b to 20. To be safe though, refeeze and do a normal flash with the 13 kdz
[Verizon LG G4] Stettin:
Isn't there some way to look at the OTA files that were downloaded to see what the update version is? It doesn't mention Marshmallow. There's a screenshot of the MM update in another thread, looks completely different and specifically says MM.

Doesn't a KDZ completely wipe the phone? I'd really like to avoid that if I can verify the OTA update is for either 11A or 13B.
[Verizon LG G4] Juancho10:
Hello, I just got a LG G4 yesterday and I want to be rooted, I'm on 5.1 13B now... How can I install this ROM? Just using flashtool 2014 and downloading the KDZ here? Help please! And thanks.
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
All KDZ files are stock factory images that are unrooted.

You can either make your own rooted system image or use a pre-rooted image like the OP is providing to get 13B rooted.

Read the OP and first few pages for instructions in flashing the image file.

Other threads have instructions on making your own rooted image, which is more involved.

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

If your phone is rooted, check /cache/fota for the OTA file. It's probably going to be for MM 24C.

Depending on how you are flashing the KDZ will determine if the phone gets wiped. Selecting Upgrade should not wipe it, but Refurbish will wipe it from what I understand.
[Verizon LG G4] Stettin:
I was rooted, but flashed my original system.img to run the OTA. I'll flash my rooted system back tonight and double check. You mean it will probably be LP (Lolipop) 13B right? Isn't MM 20B?
[Verizon LG G4] larsdennert:
OTAs go sequentially as they alway verify the previous system version to patch. A MM OTA won't have all the intermediate patches.

Don't flash your rooted 10B system image on top of 11A or 13B. You need the correct system image. Go all the way to 13B as it has the stagefright patches.
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
Sorry for the error 13B = Lollipop and 24C = Marshmallow ......... I'm saying if your phone took an OTA recently, the OTA file is probably for 24C MM, but I'm not sure. If you want 13B, I'd suggest flashing the KDZ, then if you want root, flash a 13B pre-rooted image or make your own rooted 13B and flash it.

Since you are unrooted, then you cannot look at the /cache/fota folder to see the OTA file. You can try clicking the "More info" button from your screenshot to see if you get a hint on the version it will install. If you do flash your rooted image, I wonder if the /cache folder will remain unaffected or get wiped?

So are you trying to get to MM 24C or what? You know it's current not rootable , right?
[Verizon LG G4] Stettin:
I want to _AVOID_ MM :)

My goal is to get to 13B - rooted and try the LTE fix as I'm currently on a T-Mobile SIM. If I can upgrade through OTA, I shouldn't have to reload all of my applications. I can re-root and put Xposed back on, which should take about an hour or two. The OTA must be downloading automatically because I don't think it was there when I backed up my original system.img before I rooted using the Ubuntu method. It is possible though. Immediately after unfreezing, while still rooted, the OTA popped up. The more info link went to a web page for Verizon that lists info about the MM update. I think probably that URL is hard coded and just has info on the latest firmware available.
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
If you root and can see your /cache/fota folder, this might give you a hint:

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-g4/general/vs986-24c-marshmallow-ota-file-t3316291

Compare your dlpkgfile checksum. If it's the same, you know it's MM and you can trash it immediately :laugh: .

I wonder if this would work for you:

1. Flash the 13B KDZ file using the Upgrade option, which is not supposed to wipe from my understanding, but confirm that your self (the Refurbish option does wipe from what I understand).

2. Then make your own 13B rooted image with Ubuntu method like you already did before and flash it. I did that too for my 13B rooted image :) ..... what fun it was :laugh: .

I'm currently using 13B rooted with Xposed, etc . Also have a MM which I have not done much with yet.
[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
Just a heads up, you can use the KDZ method and still keep all your settings/apps and files. Just do pick the Normal Flash and NOT the CSE Flash while doing it. Complete instructions are here:

http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848

Doing normal flash is basically the same thing as taking an OTA. After you are on 13B, you can then do the whole root thing and Xposed.

Edit: Remember to freeze LGDMSClient.apk after you root so it stops asking you to update :D

[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
Do you know anything about this new LGUP tool which can flash KDZs also? I wonder how it compares to the LG Flash Tool 2014?

[Verizon LG G4] Juancho10:
So the images he provides are full stock debloated right? I can use the flash tool and then root it by my self ?
[Verizon LG G4] Stettin:
I re-rooted and checked the cache folder. The update was only 130MB so I restored my original system.img and ran the update. It got to about 10% and threw out an error (rebooted before I could write it down). After that I just tried the KDZ method and it worked just fine. Thanks! I saw in another thread that this debloated version is missing a few things that are needed to do the LTE fix. Thanks for the help!

One thing I noticed in firmware update mode was that even though I had restored my original system.img, the status showed up as "modified." Maybe that is why the OTA failed.
[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
I haven't really used LGUP yet, just know it sorta works like LG Flash Tool with the benefit of being able to downgrade from Marshmallow according to a few people that have tried it. I guess i can play around with it, but my phone is rooted and running so good right now on 5.1 with Xposed that I sorta don't want to mess that up, haha.

I've read a few posts from people that even after they flashed the original system.img they couldn't get OTA to go through unless they factory reset their phones. A few others just used the KDZ method as well because they did not want to factory reset their phones.

Also, I remember reading a few posts about people that have never rooted saying Modified as their status. I'm not sure what all that is about :(
[Verizon LG G4] CPngN:
Help! I'm stuck in some sort of "partially rooted" state. I got a replacement Verizon G4 after my first one locked up with the bootloops issue. It came with 11A, I did KDZ to 13B stock, then loaded 13B rooted, debloated. It runs fine, but it seems Titanium Backup can't write any apps which replace a system app, and now I've determined it can't even write to the same old backup location on my external SD. I have already granted it SuperSU root access. Also, SuperSU says it needs to update, but can't. I had that issue on 11A rooted also and figured it was just with the way it's baked in to the img. Does anyone know how to correct my TiBu issue being "kind of rooted"?

Thanks in Advance!
[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
Do you have Xposed installed?

I had to use a module called: HandleExternalStorage to get Titanium Backup to use my SD card to store backups.
[Verizon LG G4] CPngN:
No, I don't have Xposed (yet?). I was hoping to avoid installing it at all.. it fixed many annoyances on my old S3 but also seemed to make it a bit less stable. I guess I still have to enable write for the entire SD card, even though apps should know how to "ask for write permission" now.. :\ Thanks for the tip, I may try it still.

Ah.. I see that HandleExternalStorage module does what the old Kitkat fix I used on 11A did (and worked). I'll jsut do that, even if just temporary to use TiBU. Thx!
[Verizon LG G4] catnapped:
Installed 13B a couple of days ago so I'm just now seeing what it does/doesn't do (what works/doesn't work). The one glaring thing so far is manual focus crashes the camera if you dial it too close. Going a bunch of pages back it sounds like it's the DPI setting that's causing it, correct?
[Verizon LG G4] rustypie:
I have moved to the V10. I edited the OP...
[Verizon LG G4] neewer:
Even though you may not be here, I just have a quick question for you.

I am currently on 13B rooted. I used your img to flash my phone and it has been working fine.

But lately, I have been running problems into wifi and data connection.

WiFi and LTE are both connected, however it does not transmit any data. Same WiFi, I used my G2 to test it out, it works fine, but when I used my G4 it almost takes 10 times longer.... It has been at least two weeks now.

I was just wondering if I can flash your image again to see if this fixes any issues. I did not extract my unrooted 13B img so I can not go anywhere. Let me know if reflashing this img is okay.

THanks!
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
Yes, you can flash the image again. Just be aware that if you made any changes to the system partition, you will lose those changes.
[Verizon LG G4] rustypie:
Instead of reflashing the image, I would suggest just performing a factory reset from the stock G4 recovery screen. This won't unroot your phone and it will keep all the settings of my image but if you have any personal data, you will lose it.
[Verizon LG G4] neewer:
Factory data reset... yes, I have done that, but the problem still remains.

I have changed all my band settings and what not with "Shortcut Master (Lite)" app, but data transmitting through LTE and home wifi seems to be the problem.

I just hate Verizon overall. I have tried to sell this Verizon phone and get an actual T-mobile phone, but the price difference lol
[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
If a factory reset did not help, I would suggest starting over. KDZ back to 13b and keep it that way for a couple days to see if the problem persists.
[Verizon LG G4] neewer:
I think flashing 13b unrooted img bricks my phone?

rustypie says "Another thing to remember. Once you flash this image, there is no going back to the state your phone was in before (stock, un-rooted) unless you have a backup of your current system image. Meaning, even if you do a reset to factory defaults from the stock G4 recovery after you've flashed this system image, the defaults it will go back to are those of this system image." ANDDDD unfortunately, I did not back up my unrooted 13b image.....
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
Try disabling the non-TMobile bands. Any difference if you set it to use 4G only vs 3G only?

---------- Post added at 10:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------

Flashing back to 13B KDZ using LGUP PC tool will not brick you. Several others have confirmed that :) .

There are stock 13B system.img files around in other threads that you could use. :)
[Verizon LG G4] neewer:
Well, if I go back to 13B unrooted then I would not be able to use LTE.

I need root to do this (http://xdaforums.com/verizon-g4/general/guide-fix-vs986-dropping-to-3g-h-4g-lte-t3272434)

maybe I could try disabling other bands beside t-mobile bands and as far as option to use 3G or 4G, I don't think there is an option when you choose System Select -> Network Mode to Global
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
Well try flashing the OP rooted system image again or a different rooted system image that's not debloated or make your own like I did.

You could ask in that other thread if VS986 is working on T-Mobile for others, and maybe ask in VS986 thread if there's not one already.
[Verizon LG G4] neewer:
Okay thanks.

I will most likely reflash OP img and if that doesnt work try looking at VS 986 thread's.

Thanks for your help

11A Stock to Latest OTA with Root

I recently sent back my LG G4 to LG for a repair and I got a refurbished phone back with VS98611A on it. I had it unlocked and now on T-Mobile. What's the best path to unroot and get the latest OTA update?
[Verizon LG G4] CPngN:
Mine optimizes... 11 apps, I think. At first I thought it was just apps I had installed or messed with via TiBU but now I looks like it's every time. But, it's fast. The whole phone boots so fast I barely notice what it's doing. I love my new 509xxx G4 with 13B update, it's fairly flawless.
[Verizon LG G4] Cobra617:
Has anyone else had Advanced Calling issues that they were able to fix?

I just picked up a new G4 today. I installed this image as per the instructions. I also installed Xposed, Hot Spot and a slew of apps. Everything works fine. EXCEPT Advanced Calling. I didn't notice that Advanced Calling didn't work until everything was done.

I tried removing HD Voice from my account and then adding it back in from the website. No go.

I tried removing it from my account (via web), and then using the phone to add it back. When I go to Settings/Advanced Calling/Activate on the phone when I have removed Advanced Calling from my account it asks me to add it back in and gives me a confirmation.

When I go to Settings/Advanced Calling/Activate when HD Voice is already on my account, the phone tells me that Advanced Calling 1.0 already exists on my line. Reboot to activate....

Nothing seems to work.

Any thoughts?

As a last resort, would using the KDZ method completely wipe my phone back to stock.

Thanks

Man I've had a total of 4 of these , actually had 2 at once up until recently I traded one for a g3 and I still can't believe it..I had all these problems plus many more on all the g4's and the only thing that made them tolerable was this rooted img. which I'm using now, but that g3 blows this g4 away so much it's ridiculous and damn near comical lol. LG screwed up bad on this phone and made no effort to even acknowledge it for while , that combined with the fact that the older model is so much better I think this was my first and last run with LG. Still can't find a phone that will keep up with my ole Motorola droid maxx which I'd happily use of the screen weren't shattered ... I kick myself in the ass regularly I took this g4 over a nexus 6 , the removable batt and sdcard reeled me in lol

But at least this g3 has more roms and toys than I can keep up with
[Verizon LG G4] Cobra617:
For archival purposes....

I ended up flashing the KDZ image. I verified that HD calling worked.

I then installed the root image that is on the "other" thread. Verified HD calling.

Then Hotspot/Xposed and HD calling worked.

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to further diagnose my issues with HD calling and this image.

HD calling is too important for me to give up. I find the video calling to be of better quality than Skype and the voice quality on an HD call is excellent.

Thanks.

[Verizon LG G4] magikazoc:
This worked flawlessly for me. For future reference:

- This must be flashed over a legitimate 13B OTA update.

- You can use OTA updates to bring a brand-new phone to the 13B version. Downloading and installing the first update will bring the phone to 11A. Downloading and installing the next update will bring the phone to 13B. Don't download or install the next update, since that is 24C and locks you out of root.

- You cannot jump directly to 13B from an earlier version using KDZ files. It will fail with a very vague error.

- You can run the LG utilities on Parallels. Make sure you use the Parallels settings to always assign the G4 to the virtual machine.

- Flashing the image doesn't overwrite much data. You won't need to reactivate your phone, either.

- The progress bar on Download Mode never moves. Just ignore it.

- This image includes SuperSU but doesn't include Busybox.

EDIT: Although the directions look advanced, it was way less time-consuming and challenging than I expected. After downloading the files and configuring the VM, the entire process was done in only about 15 minutes.
[Verizon LG G4] CPngN:
Thanks for the Parallels confirmation. I have an ancient Thinkpad laying around for doing this, and it is painfully slow!

So.. no busybox. Perhaps that explains some of my issues. What's the best way to install busybox? And... how can we update SuperSU? Every attempt has failed for me (same with the original rooted 10C or 10A or whatever it was).

Thanks!

...I see busybox when in an (adb) shell, just not installed as an app:

shell@p1:/ $ busybox

Can someone please point me in the correct direction.. I'm using the verizon vs986 running 24c on MM. I know I will have to downgrade to LP with the the instructions here http://xdaforums.com/verizon-g4/general/downgrade-mm-to-ll-lgup-t3322616

But after that I have no idea which instructions to follow to root. I've found a couple different versions as follows each with their own set of problems.

1. http://xdaforums.com/verizon-g4/general/vs986-rooteddebloated-t3256814

The problem with this one is it includes no instructions. Just gives the rooted image. Reading through the instructions leads to them talking about injecting root by means of some very long instructions about using ubuntu stuff etc.

2. http://xdaforums.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765

low effort root method includes instructions but looking at the code line for each carrier none are specific to 13b

My main reason for wanting to grain root access is to use flashfire to flash the moddified camera files to be able to have 60fps video recording. Also would be nice to use xposed with gravity box to change the color of my status bar text like I did on older phones. Wish one of these root methods was as easy to understand as odin. To bad the towelroot guy stopped work and went to work for google instead.
[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
Follow these instructions to root your phone once you are on 13B running Lollipop. It gives you directions to making your own rooted image (Steps 1 and 2) or just how to root your phone (Step 3).

I recently updated to 13B and had issues activating Advanced Calling yesterday. I tried a lot of things but I am pretty certain the issue was having the 2 System update files frozen. After I defrosted them in TiBu and powered on/off, my AC activated and I was able to freeze those files again after without losing AC. My brother who has been on 13B for weeks had the same issue and I had him do the same thing (defrost System update files) and his AC activated as well.

Thanks! I think if I understand correctly I follow from step 3 on the first link if I just want root?

OR

If I want a debloated rooted image after downgrading to 13b I simply use the same steps as downgrading to 13b except with the debloated rooted image? Am I following correctly, or am I failing miserably?
