Crashing and Blue Screen

Hello, maybe someone can help me out here. Before I followed this thread I was having an issue with the phone crashing, and then going blue screen on boot up and then crashing again and it would keep doing it.

Well I did the .tot method and everything was all good I had the stock software and firmware on there. And decided maybe it was the rom I was using because I was using JasmineRom 9.1 before this all happened (no problems for months though until recently). So I decided to root again and do xdabbebs method here. So I followed the guide and put 35b bootstack on there, I installed the 46a firmware, I followed all this to a T, and everything was golden for about 5 days and this morning I woke up to the phone not coming on. I pulled the battery and put it in, booted it up, and it crashed with the blue screen upon booting again.

Now I can't even enter download mode to flash back to stock. As the PC is loading the drivers and trying to recognize the device in download mode the phone screen turns blue and crashes again, not coming on until I pull the battery and start the process all over again. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to at least be able to flash back to stock again? Because if it's crashing in download mode then I kind of feel like hope is lost and the threads that I look at for this phone that address the issue don't have any solutions. People are left with no responses or replies from others that have the same or similiar issues, but no solutions.

If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

You'd probably have better luck posting this in a new thread in the Q&A section, since the problem isn't specific to this ROM and more people will see your request in Q&A.

If you can't get it to stay in Download mode, I'm sorry but I don't have any idea what you could do.

You can't get it to stay in TWRP either, I assume?

Sounds like a hardware issue although obviously I couldn't be sure since you had it working on 10B. Still could be hardware, just an intermittent hardware problem.

Nothing's stuck in the Micro USB port and there are no bent pins in there, right (dirt, pocket fluff)? Try keeping the Micro SD card out? If you can stay in TWRP long enough try wiping Cache, Dalvik/ART and Data? Try wiping Internal Storage as a last resort?

Try keeping the SIM card out in case there's a problem there - no idea if it could cause this sort of issue.
[Verizon LG G3] Cjneko:
Hey Edor, thanks for the reply. I'm thinking hardware too and I'm paying for insurance on the phone because I'm thinking I could have always reverted back to stock if I ever wanted to use it, which is what I'm trying to do lol. Verizon won't touch it until I do, but I think it's a hardware issue as well. I did actually successfully keep it going in TWRP long enough to wipe the cache, dalvik, all that, but it still won't stay in download mode long enough to flash the .tot file. I get about half way before it crashes again. I'll tried the LGUP8974.dll as well and it still crashes. I've tried rolling back drivers on my PC, and tried with the latest drivers, I've tried switching from Upgrade DL to Board DL. I've tried just about everything I could find on these forums and others and I can't seem to find a way to do anything without download mode, but again it just keeps crashing even in download mode. Surely it's not the software, that's just a little much lol. I guess I'm going to have to try and figure out a replacement phone until the G5 comes out :) Yup still sticking with LG even after all this I still like their phones better. I'm thinking if it can't boot than I should be good turning it in on the insurance, but I'm thinking if Verizon manages to get it to boot and TWRP pops up for any reason then they'll know it's been modified. I need to see if I can keep it consistently crashing before I try to turn it in anyway.

If you think of anything else please let me know! If you think I should still post in Q/A I'll do so, I was trying to avoid duplicate posts though I know you guys don't like that lol.

Thanks again!
[Verizon LG G3] Robshr:
I had a similar problem just my screen would fade out and then flicker if you have asurion thru Verizon they don't ask any questions they just send you a replacement. If not you could try the lg flash tool 2014 and put it in emergency mode and try to flash back there's also another method for a hard bricked phone posted just do a search
[Verizon LG G3] Cjneko:
Thanks bro! I'll give it a shot!
[Verizon LG G3] Droid1177:
I took the plunge and flashed this Rom per the o.p. Everything went smoothly and debloated using scripts from [MENTION=2560614]roirraW "edor" ehT[/MENTION]. Which worked flawlessly as well but sadly I could not use as my daily because I couldn't get the sd card to be writeable. Thats either sd card, internal or external. So I had to restore my backup of xdabbeb's Rom. Maybe sd card will be supported without hiccups later on. Thanks to all involved...
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Some people have reported problems at least with their MicroSD card access - I don't recall if anyone's had problems with their internal. I haven't had a problem with either on this ROM, personally.

I don't know if it's dependent on what file manager all of us use, or what exactly we're trying to do with it.
[Verizon LG G3] Droid1177:
Well I use Opera as my browser have for a long time now. Other than this Rom I can download files and what not from web to sd card(both)...The download path was greyed out for both with it...smh...
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Do that might be why I don't have the issue, I download to internal storage and move files to external storage if they're things I want to keep.

I don't use Opera either but it's probably not the problem.

Interesting note that I have a soft spot for Opera because I used to use it in the mid-1990s on an Intel 80386 PC with Windows 3.1 since Opera beat Internet Exploder all to heck. ?
[Verizon LG G3] cj360:
Did I read the op wrong or atm this is so new the bumped twrp setup we were using on prior versions can softbrick your device atm if one flashes this and then tries to switch to another mm rom?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You read it wrong.
[Verizon LG G3] terminal13:
Hey ran a quick search for mms quality, and didn't get what I'm looking for... I'm using the Google messenger for sms/mms and the out going picture quality is low... Checked app settings to no avail... Maybe it's one of those too simply easy to over complicate things... Anyone else have this issue or a solution?

Let me add that it seems to be screen shots primarily...
[Verizon LG G3] Vendetta61:
Been running this ROM fully debloated for a few days and I'm loving it, no issues so far. The only thing that bugs me is the status bar icon sizes, they're too small! Does anyone else have this issue?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I just wanted to reply, since I'm also replying to someone else below, that I don't use MMS enough to have noticed, and I use Verizon Messages, not Google Messenger, so my experience might not apply anyway.

I (and several others) use Flat Style Bar Indicators for all my status bar icons (I'll upload a screenshot in a moment). Requires Xposed. Any questions about Xposed please ask in Q&A.
[Verizon LG G3] droidfta:
Does anyone know how to update the superuser beta 2.67 to 2.68 everytime i try it gives me a boot certification error 620. I believe the patched boot file that the zip does is getting rid of bumped. is there a way to get superuser beta 2.68 at all on this rom?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Take the APK out of the SuperSU-Beta zip and install it as an update to the app?
[Verizon LG G3] droidfta:
tried it now its telling me su binaries need to be updated but its failing try rebooting and still failing to update the su binaries?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Oh well. Beats me. I don't have a huge motivation to use a different beta version of SuperSU, and I know even less about systemless root than I did about in-system root. :) Sorry I don't have any further suggestions.
[Verizon LG G3] droidfta:
I even tried copying the binaries from the 2.68 from root explorer but that actually caused me to lose root, guess ill be sticking with 2.67 superuser
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Copying them to where? As far as I know, system-less root wouldn't have the binaries in a place we could access directly via root. The Kernel had to be modified in order to implement system-less root on this ROM.
[Verizon LG G3] naraymm:
I have same problem.

I have same problem. Some apps need detour root. But SuperSu (included this firmware) is impossible detour root.

So, I tried install another superuser app (modified package name and su binary), Then the root permission is deleted or phone can't boot because secure failure.

Anyone, How can I change to modified SuperSU or install modified SuperSU by TWRP Recovery?
[Verizon LG G3] aviman123:
Anyone have a link to the flashable vvm? The current link is dead.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I *think* that [MENTION=6837588]RoxanaSchram[/MENTION] has it in her ROM thread, but not positive.
[Verizon LG G3] terminal13:
Appreciate the reply. I'm going to dig through some dark places to see if a setting has low res issues in either the screen shot stuff or if it's just the mms setting....
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Good luck! We'd be happy to hear your results.
[Verizon LG G3] terminal13:
Got another thing, I've gotten out of the loop a bit over the last couple years, so I'm thinking running a logcat may give me some info on that and an audio issue I'm having with play music.... Do you think logcat will get the app specific stuff I'm looking for or would it be to system generic?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Shamed that I am, :D , I'm not experienced with generating or looking at Android logs, so I have no input regarding that. Hopefully, someone who's more knowledgeable can chime in.
[Verizon LG G3] dwhitehead:
Play Music or ROM

Have you had this problem with any other rom or just this one? I only ask because I use MANY music apps and have had no problems with any of them.
[Verizon LG G3] terminal13:
Logs are tough to decipher if your not really reading them,over and over and how they relate to system processes... It'll get resolved somehow... May just have to use another app...
[Verizon LG G3] terminal13:
Just this Rom. I'm not into crack flashing like I was... My phone is a pseudo workstation for my job, so I find a stable Rom and stick to it. It was just unusual that the audio would cut off around screen off... Maybe just a setting I have to adjust
[Verizon LG G3] professornayr:
I have no data with this rom (4G is greyed out and I can't seem to connect to data), but I think it might be because I have the wrong bootstack. I had flashed the 35b boostack previously before going to a Marshmallow ROM, but then I had to tot back to 10 and KDZ to 24 before going to a the Jasmine 35b ROM and then to this one. I did not flash the 35b bootstack this time around, so am I still on the 24 bootstack because of using the KDZ method? Can I flash the 35b boostack in TWRP without reflashing or wiping this ROM? Please forgive my ignorance, but I already nearly softbricked my phone once (why I had to tot back to 10) and am hoping I don't have to go through the whole tot-KDZ process again to get to this ROM.

Otherwise, this ROM has been great so far!!
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yes.

No, although if you have any trouble after flashing it, it never hurts to wipe Cache and Dalvik/ART to solve any weird problem that happens in any situation.
[Verizon LG G3] professornayr:
Whoa! That was a fast reply! Thanks!!!
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
LOL, I have over 99 hours on my battery by using Greenify's aggressive doze and I'm at 19%, but I've only had 48 minutes screen on time.
[Verizon LG G3] professornayr:
So it turns out that even after flashing the 35b bootstack, I still don't have data. I've checked my APN at least 2 or 3 times, and it definitely is the same as what has worked on other ROMs. Any thoughts on something I may be missing?
[Verizon LG G3] SignatureBoy:
Well many disagree with me but i had the same problem not getting 4G only GPRS and sometimes the signals vanish, What i did just tot back to 10B and did all the things to flash new rom.

Booted in recovery Flashed the 35B Bootstack and Rebooted back to Recover and not system.

Then Flashed the rom and Flashed the 35B Bootstack again after flashing the rom and rebooted to system All is Fine for me since then
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Excellent advice! I either didn't know or didn't remember that solved it for you, otherwise I'm always advising people to start fresh returning to stock, re-rooting etc. :)

Hopefully we find out that's a universal solution for others having the same trouble.
[Verizon LG G3] professornayr:
Okay, I guess I'll have to try it. I was really hoping I would find a quicker solution, but it certainly is worth a try. It may take me a little bit to find the time to try it, but I'll try to report back on whether or not it solved my issue.

UPDATE: I backed up everything, wiped everything, restored a nandroid backup for the Jasmine ROM I had, and found that data worked fine. I then wiped everything again, restored this 46a ROM, and again had no data. Then I wiped everything, and followed your directions starting with flashing the bootstack. I did not go back and tot 10 or the following. When I first booted up and set up the APN, I did not have data. However, after reboting, data suddenly started working!

I am guessing at this point, but I think the 35b bootstack has to be installed before the ROM is flashed for data to work.

UPDATE 2: There definitely is something to the process of flashing the bootstack, rebooting into recovery, flashing the ROM and then flashing the bootstack again. I didn't have time to test every variation of the order of all of this, but data did not work when I just tried to flash the bootstack prior to the ROM without rebooting back into recovery.
[Verizon LG G3] truc321:
thank guys, my VS985 is runing on Marshmallow
[Verizon LG G3] Robshr:
Question

I have terrible on screen time I get on average about 2 hours max on a good day most times I only get about an hour an a half and my screen brightness is usually not over 30% and I do have the lg urbane watch connected anything I can do to improve it

I look at the battery info and with 40% drain 35% of it is the screen any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Rob
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Have you tried Greenify's Aggressive Doze?
[Verizon LG G3] Robshr:
Yes I have it enabled
[Verizon LG G3] jurington:
You could get a bigger battery. I just got a 9100 mah battery off eBay for $30, I've been on it since Monday but with my first charge I got 2 days worth without plugging in my charger with about 6 hours screen on time. Only bad part about it is it doubles the thickness of the phone , but I've gotten use to it.
[Verizon LG G3] Robshr:
It's not that big of a deal as I have four spare batteries. It's just I see people claiming to get 5 and 6 hours of screen on time and I just don't see how that's possible. I was I guess hoping I was missing something but I guess that's just what it is
[Verizon LG G3] jurington:
Yeah I've never been able to get that out of my g3 or even my g2. And trying everything, now I'm just like I'll use it how I want to and keep a charger with me. But now with the bigger battery I don't need to.
[Verizon LG G3] cap1tal1sm:
So I'm finally on Marshmellow, everything flashed great and here were my steps and some info:

1. Flashed 35B bootstack

2. Standard TWRP Wipe

3. Flashed the 46A zip

4. Flashed The Road Warrior's debloat zip, under /all as well as the ones that don't play nice with Xposed (so 1. and 8.)

5. Flashed the xposed framework, v80 sdk23

Of course I said no do not install SuperSU, and bam we gucci in Marshmellow. I will report back after a few days with battery life, but it's really smooth so far.

One thing I wanted to mention if anyone uses the module Snapprefs, or even xposed with Snapchat (possibly): YOU NEED TO LOG INTO SNAPCHAT BEFORE INSTALLING XPOSED. I made the mistake of jumping into xposed immediately and Snapchat will detect if you have Xposed installed, and not allow you to log in. You need to login first to Snapchat and THEN install Xposed/Snapprefs.
[Verizon LG G3] Robshr:
Question

Does anyone know of a way to increase the phone microphones sensitivity. Because when I'm in a call with someone if I move the phone even the slightest bit away from tight against my mouth the person on the other end can't hear me.

Thanks for any help [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] would you be able to add in faux123 sound control patch to the kernel to be able to increase mic gain?
[Verizon LG G3] minhas729:
A friend asked to post here so here i post on

How to enable themes (usage if custom icons) on this ROM without xpose.

Download a free application "Shortcut master Lite" from playstore

(link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite )

Open app..whenever it asks for root access grant that.

Go to 3 dot menu at upper right corner. And go to search.

Now type. "Theme"

In options manh options will have the name "Home".

Select the one which says,

"LGThemeChooserActivity"

Open it and launch it. Now choose your custom icon pack which you have already downloaded. Hit apply and enjoy.

Note: not all icon packs support lg home. So if your specific icon doesn't work. Blame LG or Verizon
[Verizon LG G3] minhas729:
After this your home launcher will have new icons

*app drawer cannot be changed due to limitations inside the LG framework.
[Verizon LG G3] mataflakitas:
Exelent info thanks
[Verizon LG G3] schwem:
This is awesome man thank you. One thing to note though. There are themes on the playstore for LG Home by a dev named N.A. Dev and a few of his themes do change the app drawer icon. He only has a few themes and all themes are based off other O.E.M.'s but they do change the drawer icon. Just F.Y.I.
[Verizon LG G3] rajsris:
I'm thinking about removing xposed. Is there a way to uninstall it, so that Android pay can work with systemless root? Is my only option a wipe?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Uninstall zips to flash in custom recovery for Xposed are in the same Xposed post as the installers.

No idea if getting Pay to work on a still-rooted but systemless root ROM is that easy.
[Verizon LG G3] :
Unless something has changed recently I thought systemless root is now detectable by pay and doesn't work anymore... http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/0...emless-root-android-pay-no-longer-compatible/

I guess you can unroot to use it though, and then re-root once you're done using pay. Good luck :)
[Verizon LG G3] Ghost401:
Has anyone started to get a Verizon system Update? I just started getting a system update even though I thought OTAs were disabled.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Look at the thread in the General section. :) Edit: sorry, in Q&A.

Had you flashed the No OTA zip in the third post of this thread?
[Verizon LG G3] maximusmullivan:
Has anyone received the 47A update today? I'm guessing it's security updates, not sure what else is in it.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
There's a thread in General mate. :) Edit: sorry, in Q&A.
[Verizon LG G3] genericfu:
Re the "no mobile data" reported by some:

I'm on StraightTalk BYOP VZW.

I just spent an embarrassing amount of time thinking I had this issue and doing all kinds of reflashing/rerooting in an attempt to fix. It turns out the issue was just that when I upgraded to 46A, my working APN settings got nuked and replaced with the VZWINTERNET default (which doesn't work for my ST VZW service).

All I needed to do was enter the correct APN info and it worked. Unfortunately I was dumb and didn't copy down my old settings so I had to figure out the correct one by trying three different ones I found online. FWIW the correct one for me was TRACFONE.VZWENTP. I also tried acct.tf.gw6.vzwentp and tftwo.gw9.vzwentp, but neither of them worked.

Also, 46A doesn't let you manually add an APN when the SIM card is inserted, so you have to take out the SIM, add the correct APN and save from the three dots menu, put the SIM back in, and then (I *think* this is necessary) select the APN in the APN list (Mobile networks > Access point names) so the little circle turns blue. To see if it's working, disable Wi-Fi so you can actually make sure data is actually coming over 4G, wait ~2 minutes for the settings to take effect (the little 4G icon will light up), then try to load some web pages.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Copy down your APN info before flashing.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Very useful info! I'm on Verizon but just wanted to say good post!
[Verizon LG G3] maximusmullivan:
Cool. I found it. I honestly never check Q&A. From the VZW page "This update provides faster display response from a sleep state, and the latest Android security updates."

[Verizon LG G3] ChiefIlliniwek5:
Is anyone else experiencing massive battery drain? I'm barely using my phone all day and after 12 hours its usually down to 30% or less. I would be around 50% under the same circumstances running CM 13. I've tried various battery statistics apps but I can't figure out what's draining my battery. Can anyone help?
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
I would suspect an app is phantom draining. BetterBatreryStars doesn't show anything? Impressively, this stock ROM has just as good or better life than AOSP & CM-based ROMs I've tried.
[Verizon LG G3] ChiefIlliniwek5:
I can't tell from BBStats where the drain is. Where should I be looking in the app to find out? Maybe I'm not looking in the right place
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Just confirming that I, too, had great battery life on this ROM. I had over 120 hours on battery, albeit with only about 50 minutes of screen on time, and with Greenify's Aggressive Doze option.
[Verizon LG G3] ChiefIlliniwek5:
I've read that Greenify does a great job when it's in aggressive mode, but the reason I don't want to use it is because I don't want to limit so many background processes that my normal functionality is affected. If someone could help me with Better Battery Stats to identify the source of the drain that would be most appreciated.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Aggressive doze hasn't limited my background processes or normal functionality.
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Sorry, it has been a long time since I used it and I don't even remember the interface very well.
[Verizon LG G3] chrisp304:
Same thing is happening to me. I read somewhere, don't remember where, Marshmallow has a Bluetooth bug? Anyhow, with Bluetooth on, my phone can go dead in 6 hours. If I remember to turn it off, I get normal battery life.
[Verizon LG G3] Robshr:
That would explain it for me because ever since updating to mm and having my urbane connected my battery life isn't that good anymore
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Heh, that would also explain me, because I don't own anything with Bluetooth.
[Verizon LG G3] ChiefIlliniwek5:
Do you still receive notifactions from all your apps with the same frequency? My understanding of Greenify's aggressive doze is that the background functions are limited in how often they run.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yes I do, but admittedly texts are the only kind of notification I would even possibly receive on a regular basis (and I do get them immediately). I keep Mobile Data/WIFI off unless I specifically want something. Right now I'm on stock unrooted 47A so once I get back to my normal configuration I'll try to remember testing for email notifications with Mobile Data on.
