Use the hardware buttons to wipe cache and freeze the below apps to avoid anymore attempts on updates.

Currently I'm having an issue enabling HD Voice / Advanced Calling after rooting. Had Verizon try twice already to fix the issue and still no resolution.

Any ideas on how to fix it?

[MENTION=1382158]legend221[/MENTION] -

Thanks, yeah, I had already frozen those two last night. Looks like you're spot on with that. I'm @ T+33 minutes and no attempt to update.

Sorry I can't help you with Advanced Calling; I don't have it enabled. I have seen that a lot of people seem to have issues with it after they've rooted, though.
[Verizon LG G4] legend221:
You're welcome, glad I could help.

I saw that on other threads as well. Perhaps the root image takes away too many Verizon features for advanced calling to fully enable on the phone. Damn shame if that's the case.

* Factory Format did not work either.

I am having the same issue activating HD Voice / Advanced Calling on my replacement G4. I did have this feature successfully on on the G4 that had the hardware failure/infamous bootloop problem. And both phones are rooted. So no idea...
[Verizon LG G4] robles4242:
What makes the home screens resolution on this so different? Like the notification bar and its icons so small as well as the the text and icons in the settings menu?

And can it easily be changed back to normal somehow?

---------- Post added at 10:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

Yes. I just bought mine and it was on 25A 6.0MM... I had to downgrade which the only way i found that worked was flashing the stock non-rooted 13b .KDZ firmware downgrade method via LGUP* (LG flash tool kept failing for me). Then going from that stock 13b to the method listed here using the Low Effort Root method and instead of using the system image they provide there, use this 13b system image.... just make sure when you ADB the code you change the system images name to this one.... Easy as pie... the 10th try and you figure it out haha.
[Verizon LG G4] konradsa:
See OP!
[Verizon LG G4] robles4242:
konradsa - I remember reading that too in the OP, it was just my stupidity not putting it together and realizing that would change the sizes and at such a big difference. Thank you for clearing that up for me.
[Verizon LG G4] clemsongt:
Where to get a ROOTED 13B KDZ? I understand this zip file is rooted and debloated and this KDZ is stock...is there a KDZ that is already rooted?
[Verizon LG G4] xgerryx:
So the mD5 issue explains why my install didn't work yesterday. The new download in the zip posted last night came back with a good checksum that matched the OP, and I have root again. Thank you so much!
[Verizon LG G4] :
Does anyone have the 13B stock image, I forgot to pull mine.
[Verizon LG G4] g_ding84:
[MENTION=5972487]rustypie[/MENTION] - if its OK I'll put up a mirror and post a stock (non-rooted) 13B system img.

I can have it up tonight. Starting our family Thanksgiving. Lol
[Verizon LG G4] rustypie:
If you have a stock 13B image you'd like to share, by all means you can do so. No problem with me. In fact, if you post a link, I'll throw it in the OP. I have a stock 13B image but too much family and turkey going on to upload it right now. lol
[Verizon LG G4] g_ding84:
Sounds good.

Same here. Lol
[Verizon LG G4] csimo:
This worked great for me (I was on 11A rooted). For those interested the 11A Hotspot Provisioning APK works fine on this ROM.

-Joe
[Verizon LG G4] Dyscalculic:
Thanks for the rooted and debloated image. Trying this tonight.

---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

Anyone has rooted but non-debloated image for 13B?
[Verizon LG G4] skylordusa1:
Hey just a quick question. What steps did you take. I am currently on 11a rooted. Did you just use the LGUP tool to kdz to fresh 11A then take the OTA's up to 13b then use this system image in this thread to be on 13b rooted?
[Verizon LG G4] csimo:
Yes, that's exactly what I did.

13B has a lot of file system changes. I haven't found a way to block OTA updates yet. Even if you block the LG Update .apk the phone still looks for updates. The Verizon update file that we used to block is not in 13B.

I was worried that the Hotspot provisioning would be a problem, but the 11A .apk works fine.

I appreciate what the OP did, but I was surprised that there were three or four games still in the ROM (but are easily deleted).

Good luck,

-Joe
[Verizon LG G4] skylordusa1:
Hey thank you very much for getting back to me. Just another question so after I use LGUP to flash the 11A kdz then ota to 13b.

All I have to do is get adb to recognize my phone then run the below replacing the below .img with the .img from this thread?

dd if=/data/media/0/rootedsystem.img bs=8192 seek=65536 count=548352 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

Sorry its been a while since I rooted this phone and havent kept up with whats been going on. Just want to make sure I have all the steps in order before doing it.
[Verizon LG G4] csimo:
The download is already named "rootedsystem.img" so all you have to do is put that file on the root of your Internal Storage and run that exact command. No need to change anything. Make sure you're in Bootloader mode.

-Joe
[Verizon LG G4] rustypie:
In curious what games did you find in it?
[Verizon LG G4] bayniner:
Does exposed work on 13B
[Verizon LG G4] skylordusa1:
Ok so its basically just following the low effort root process all over again like getting into download mode , finding com port , send command then dd the rootedsystem.img and im good to go?

Thanks for all your help. Im a little rusty.
[Verizon LG G4] stevenp1:
say rusty can you list the 14 I think it is Verizon you removed?
[Verizon LG G4] boobster2:
I am back to stock 11a and my phone will not pickup the new update for some reason. is there anyway to get that to trigger manually somehow?
[Verizon LG G4] pimfram:
Others have said it can take a couple hours. I'm in the same boat as you, I went back to stock an hour ago and no update is available yet.
[Verizon LG G4] boobster2:
Looks like that is correct. Just got my update as of now.
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
Yes. Make sure you use framework file v22 as v23 didn't work for me. I created my own rooted 13B file vs using the one here, but don't think that matters.
[Verizon LG G4] pimfram:
Thanks for all the work, rustypie. It took me longer that I expected to remember how to do the steps needed but I'm up and running beautifully.
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
KDZ files are factory stock files, so no such thing as a rooted KDZ.
[Verizon LG G4] anhsmile:
How is make image v13b with root by own?
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
Many have used this method successfully including me to create our own rooted system.img:

http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586

You backup the system image from your phone and inject root into image, then reflash rooted system.img image file.
[Verizon LG G4] anhsmile:
Can i add Theme feature in this image?

How i do?
[Verizon LG G4] chiefwigms:
you get this resolved? I RMA'd my phone to LG and got one running MM - downgraded straight to 13B debloated, and can't get AC to work.. Installed My Verizon, and the "activate advanced calling" is grayed out.
[Verizon LG G4] zen8t8:
Never got this resolved. I had to do without AC, and no data while on phone calls... wasn't worth the hassle of resetting and trying to figure it out again. Had 2 LG G4's, and one went into bootloop at 3 days before 1 year while the other was still going strong. Traded in the good one for a Note 7 just recently to get out of the roulette game.

Good luck!
[Verizon LG G4] tribullet:
I got excited when I saw that the LG browser was included. I flashed and all is well, but it doesn't look like the lg browser is included, did it get removed at some point?
[Verizon LG G4] Vinay Patani:
How support in future will we get for verizon g4 ???

Will it be like g3 or not ?
[Verizon LG G4] legend221:
Advanced calling somehow reappeared. Only thing I can think that I did was a full factory format (done by holding volume down + power button while powered down) and selecting factory reset / format. Finally have this awesome feature back. See below images, please be sure to backup all photos and files you want before performing this.

[Verizon LG G4] 1Pyrus1:
Rooted .Img download link is broken.

DAMN MAN... I really could use those images for 13b. Apparently links don't work very good in xda forums. I tried another 13b rooted image from another source. Still doesn't work. XDA needs a bot to check for broken download links. I think the service providers are attacking download links. Verizon are assholes. But they are the best assholes.
[Verizon LG G4] 1Pyrus1:
Download links do not work. I went all the way back to 13b. I downloaded another 13b rooted img. Only to find the root image is not working. Won't even flash to the smartphone. Do I need to do step 10... Cause it specifically states only go to step 9 and then inject cmd line for 13brooted img. Please clearify. Cause I have the Image on internal memory. Cause it will not save to SD card. sd card is working fine. I get instant # and nothing even downloaded into the phone. I checked for root. Still not rooted. Something is wrong with the instructions. I have rooted many many phones.

In the mean time... I am looking at all the chinese assholes and their version of lg g4 using rooted mm versions. ANNOYING. I WAS OVER THE ROAD DRIVING TRUCKS FOR A YEAR. I WOULD EASILY CREATE MY OWN ROMS. BUT I WORK 12-14 HOURS A DAY. NO ONE SUPPLIES ENOUGH MONEY TO THOSE WHO WORK ON ROOTING SMARTPHONES. No one even tried working with verizons version of lg g4. annoying. I guess my next phone will be from T-mobile. All that money they are spending. I hope they outdo Verizon. Cause verizon is the reason that we have inferior service provider issues. They won in the supreme court case back in 2013, and allowed every service provider to have control over internet connections. I HATE LOBBYISTS OF HOLLYWOOD.
[Verizon LG G4] dagnisaun:
the download links work fine for me.

which guide are you looking at for the steps you're talking about? I followed this one, thought it was straight forward and I did not have issues.

no one has developed for verizon's g4 because of the locked bootloader. can't do custom roms. if you want more freedom, definitely switch to a different network.
[Verizon LG G4] carlson03:
Interesting, when I flashed this, it loaded up ( I can tell because no more annoying verizon boot animation) but its not rooted...flashed again, same thing. What could I be missing?

Edit: Nevermind, I got it....copied from my laptop to my NAS box it must have not copied the whole thing and I didn't notice...luckily, phone booted alright....once I had full image, it works great!
[Verizon LG G4] carlson03:
Well, I hadn't been using the phone since I couldn't get it to work properly on AT&T (MMS and LTE were acting funny even with APN settings)....turned it on last night to play with it, watched to short YouTube videos, it froze, reboot and started boot looping...ohh well, guess its to the trash
[Verizon LG G4] ar612:
I have a doubt regarding this system image flashing.please dont feel bad.if i am wrong,please forgive me.

will my data be safe after flashing this image? or the original system where it is taken will have any access to my datas? :confused: :confused: :(
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
Flashing the system partition will not affect your data partition if you follow the directions in this thread carefully.
[Verizon LG G4] ar612:
Thank you for the reply.But i am confused that , if i flash this system in my phone , whether the datas storing in the future will be accessible to the creator? because it is the backup from another phone no? :confused:

Without a backup, there's always a small risk that something could go wrong and user data could be lost.

Is there adblocking baked into this? I am trying to use an app that is attempting to load ads and is unable to thus I cannot continue to the content
[Verizon LG G4] rustypie:
Yes, this image contains an AdAway host file. An easy solution to your problem is to clear the contents of the host file. In the /system/etc directory is the hosts file. Using a program like Root Explorer, open this file, delete the contents, save the changes and reboot the phone.
[Verizon LG G4] lt.anthonydelgado:
Awesome thank you I'll be trying this later when I get home, I should have known I could edit the hosts file [emoji23]

[Verizon LG G4] pzacheo:
Hello,

I would like to thanks the OP for sharing his System Image.

I have a LG G4 VS986 from Verizon OTA 27C which after 3 months started bootlooping due to hardware problem.

I've managed to take the phone out of bootloop by applying heat to the core and it worked fine.

Then I read about Disable Big Little Core on Youtube as a permanent solution and decided to follow the tutorial, unfortunately they don't have a tot for my phone so I couldn't even start it.

So I thought that rooting could be an alternative way to disable CPU5 and CPU6 and get ride of the reset problems.

OneClickRoot said the 27C cannot be rooted.

So I downgraded to Stock 13C unrooted and tried to root it using many techniques. None of them worked.

Then I came to this Post and I read it very carefully. I flashed the rooted System Image - since I had taken the OTA 13C in the past and downgraded - the version was correct.

After flashing the img it booted fine. The phone started and all my data has there so I was happy. Everything good.

All of a sudden the phone turned off. Now it's in a bootloop without any USB driver detection from the PC.

Tried to clear cache with vol- and power button and even tried factory reset from the recovery menu.

Nothing worked. I'm on a bootloop with LG logo and Windows cannot detect anything is connected.

With the phone off with Vol+ and USB cable connected a small msg "Download mode" appears. But it won't move past that.

The PC cannot detect the phone. Anything I could do to unbrick this device?
[Verizon LG G4] pzacheo:
As an update, there is a workaround, but this takes more time that one could want.

I shorted 2 pins inside the device without battery and with USB connected and the PC managed to recognize Qualcomm driver.

Now from that I used QFIL to recover the device. But now I'm still in bootloop.

But at least I managed to press VOL- and the device was recognized by the PC as fastboot device.

I guess this is going to be difficult. If anyone can help me get out of the bootloop/bricked state.

The intructions in the OP are not clear as they jump from one page to another. I think he should make a one page post with clear steps with clear instructions, so everyone can do this without any problems. Now I read everything very carefully and took the time and my device is bricked.
[Verizon LG G4] danielm1980:
Nice, it worked. Thanks OP
[Verizon LG G4] mofeck:
Can someone help me? I'm trying to install the rooted image in the last step, but on my phone it appears the common download mode, but at the bottom it says "VUSER B14 MODIFIED" ant it just get stuck on 0%
[Verizon LG G4] roadrder:
No mobile data while in call.

I have an Lg G4 running the above VS986 13B rooted system image. I have "advanced Calling" activated on my line with Verizon. ( I verified this through the "my Verizon" app) In settings/Advanced Calling/Activate Advanced Calling- it says Advanced Calling is turned on. Yet every time I try to access mobile data ( google maps, or browser) during a phone call my "4G" becomes "1X" and a pop-up tells me "mobile data is not available in call".

I have reflashed a stock KDZ image for 13B which I downloaded from here- h t t p : //downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G4/VS986. The stock image says Advanced Calling is enabled and I AM able to access mobile data in-call from the stock image.

I then place the phone in d/l mode and overwrite the system partition using the command " dd if=/data/media/0/rootedsystem13B.img bs=8192 seek=65536 count=548352 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 ".

After reboot, everything seems to work just fine, except that I no longer can access mobile data while in-call...........

I have reflashed the stock kdz and copied the system image several times, but always with the same results.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've made up the mirror rooted system.img (as a .rar). Also, I've posted the Stock System.img (no root - full stock) Download links below

This Rooted System.IMG was created by [MENTION=5972487]rustypie[/MENTION]. I am just providing a mirror help with the downloads.

Please thank him on for all his work.

Also, since I haven't seen these posted here are the commands for the Verizon LG G4 to make a backup system.img and how to flash the rooted system.img. This way you can make your own backup incase anything goes wrong.

PSA :

Backup system.img command

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 seek=65536 count=548352 of=/data/media/0/system.img

Flash the rooted system.img command (

change rootedsystem.img to system.img if you need to flash back to stock

)

dd if=/data/media/0/rootedsystem.img bs=8192 seek=65536 count=548352 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

Thanks for posting this. Just to be sure, is this just a rooted image, without the other customizations and debloating?

This is the same as the rooted system IMG provided by [MENTION=5972487]rustypie[/MENTION]. It is debloated.

Thank you for the custom image, rustypie

Does anyone know how to disable the 10 attempts before wipe?

On other phones, you can change the 10 to a 0, but this file does not exist on the G4: /system/customize/ACC/default.xml

How long have you waited? It took about 4-5 hours before I got the update to show.
[Verizon LG G4] chubbrock:
Took the plunge and went back to stock un-roooted 11a from rooted 10b. Now just waiting for the 13b ota, just gotta keep checking...
[Verizon LG G4] lennie paz:

[Verizon LG G4] chubbrock:
Hopefully that error message won't keep the OTA from coming in
[Verizon LG G4] squish72:
I've looked around and couldn't find the answer I was looking for so I'll ask. Does flashing a system.img require backing up user data or is it the same as taking a ota? Sorry if this question is quite stupid I've been happy with my g4 and have fallen out of the loop

Im in Chicago and got the update almost immediately after flashing back to stock 11A. Thanks for all your work to everyone involved with this.
[Verizon LG G4] Dyscalculic:
Don't mean to rub it in, but surprised to see the difficulties people are facing with OTA updates. I updated 6x G4's on VZW from 11A to 13B with the 423 megs in an hour. Put in the verizon sim cards on suspended lines (these sims did not always conform to the line/ device they were supposed to be on). All phones were on wifi. The first time I tapped for the update, half of the times I got a message saying no updates found. In those cases, immediately tapping to search for updates a second time worked right away. Again, just sharing the experience.
[Verizon LG G4] chubbrock:
Took 4 hours, finally downloading!
[Verizon LG G4] rustypie:
No it does not. Flashing system.img only affects the system partition. All your user data and apps are stored in the data partition. But even though it's not technically necessary to backup your data when you flash, as anyone on here will tell you, always always always always have a backup. It saves you from having an "oh sh*t" moment.
[Verizon LG G4] squish72:
Thank you very much for your work and answer. I actually just flashed everything after backing things up and everything went smoothly.
