It may or may not help, but the above suggestion to try Jasmine ROM might be worth trying. My phone got totally messed up after I went from CM to a more stock Marshmallow ROM. Ultimately I wiped and flashed Jasmine. I don't know if it made a difference for my problems, but part of the installation instructions include also doing a factory reset from within the ROM. The problems I had been having resolved after installing Jasmine. I later reinstalled this Marshmallow ROM and am no longer having the problems I had previously. (Obviously I also flashed the appropriate bootstack files before installing each ROM). Again, this may or may not work for your problems, but after all you have been going through, flashing Jasmine to see if it works is fairly easy.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
[MENTION=5182238]Pozman1[/MENTION] if you do try either JasmineROM 9.x or SkyDragon 6.x, you *must* flash either the 24B Bootstack or the 35B Bootstack after flashing the ROM. Don't get me wrong, there are exceptions to that rule but it's easier to just flash one of those two every time on those two ROMs. If you already have the 35B Bootstack on your phone now and you flashed either ROM without flashing one of those two Bootstacks, you'd brick your phone. Recoverable, but temporarily bricked. At this point I don't even recall which kind of brick. If you can just flash the 10B TOT to get out of it or if it's QHSUSB_BULK 9008 mode that requires a different process (Google QHSUSB to find the directions), although it still involves the 10B TOT.

One of the exceptions I'll go ahead and tell you - if you flash the 10B TOT, root etc again, then you should be fine to flash either ROM as is without flashing a Bootstack, but as I said, it's just safer to go ahead and flash one of those two Bootstacks after flashing either ROM. It's best just to in general always flash the appropriate Bootstack after flashing a ROM - those two ROMs are "different" in that you can use either 24B or 35B Bootstacks.
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Goodness, I'm so sorry! Totally forgot about that it's been so long. Thanks for the catch!
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
LOL, you're welcome! I know it must be getting long enough since that first happened, when I can't even recall the exact kind of brick that happens for 100% sure.
[Verizon LG G3] Pozman1:
Flashed Jasemine and 35B Bootstack. Everything looks good so far. So should I just flash this 47A Stock Rom over Jasemine or wipe and factory reset first?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Whatever you feel like trying. At minimum wipe Cache and Dalvik/ART. You can always wipe Data if it doesn't boot or doesn't behave properly. I don't know what to suggest since things aren't making sense anyway. :)
[Verizon LG G3] Pozman1:
Dangit! Still no luck. Wiped cache, Dalvik/ART and then installed 47a Rom and then 35b Bootstack. I didn't get the failed to mount error this time but when I got to the LG start screen it went black and I got the flashing blue/red led's of death.

I'm stumped
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
That's weird. That's similar if not the same as the kind of brick you'd get installing those other two ROMs without flashing a Bootstack. Can you get to the stock-looking recovery after pulling the battery by using the hardware keys and get to TWRP after by selecting "Wipe Cache"?

If so, do you still get the blue/red LED if you wipe Data?

Even if the display won't show anything if you go through the motions of putting it in Download mode, does the phone show up in Windows' Device Manager in the Modem section? Or does it show up as QHSUSB_BULK 9008 mode in the Ports section? If it shows up in the Modem section you can flash the 10B TOT to put the phone right. If it's only as QHSUSB in the Ports section, you'll have to Google QHSUSB to find the recovery method.
[Verizon LG G3] Pozman1:
Can't get to recovery or download mode. I can feel it vibrate to go into download mode but computer doesn't recognize it now? Drivers are failing to load. Trip to Verizon store with my tail between my legs?
[Verizon LG G3] rcchusid:
I don't know if it was necessary or if it applies to your situation, but when I was fixing my messed up phone I wiped cache, Dalvik, and data after installing Jasmine. I next flashed the bootstack file, rebooted, and then flashed this ROM. I did a factory reset from within the ROM after installing Jasmine but did not repeat it when installing the Marshmallow based ROM.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It can take up to 10 minutes for Windows to load the driver once you plug it in to the PC. Are you giving it enough time? Also, you checked both in the Modem and Ports section of Device Manager and nothing showing up under either?
[Verizon LG G3] Pozman1:
Finally got drivers to load and was able to TOT back to 10b. Uninstalled and re-installed drivers several times cause they kept "Failing to load".

---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

Which version of Jasmine did you flash? I've been flashing 9.1
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
That's good, glad to hear it! I didn't mention it before, but keep in mind in the future that just rebooting the PC can help both before installing drivers, and after installing drivers, or when a driver you already installed fails to load when plugging in the device.
[Verizon LG G3] rcchusid:
I also flashed Jasmine 9.1

Edited to add I first flashed a file with Jasmine 9.0 and then 9.1
[Verizon LG G3] joshua70448:
Are you flashing 9.0 and then 9.1? 9.1 is a patch that's meant to be installed on top of 9.0, if you only install 9.1 then it'll fail to boot properly.
[Verizon LG G3] Pozman1:
Yes. Flashing 9.0 then 9.1. Right now I'm just sitting with Jasmine. Worn out from TOTing about 10 times in 2days. Not sure what to try next. Tried Azadi's 47a rom also and keep getting the blue/red led's at boot. Jasemin is fine on 35b bootstack
[Verizon LG G3] kend0g:
That's really weird your having so much trouble
[Verizon LG G3] Pozman1:
And when I try to take a stock ota it says there are none available.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Do you have an activated Verizon SIM card in the phone? You won't be offered OTAs unless you do.

Also, it's normal after flashing back to stock that it sometimes takes up to a day for an OTA to be offered. If you do any more stock reflashing, any estimates of when you'd get offered an OTA are reset - in other words you might start the waiting game back over. :)

OTAs wouldn't get you anything different than flashing a KDZ of whatever version you wanted to be on anyway, although if you want root or TWRP then it's just easiest to stick to doing it on 10B then flashing whatever ROM you want. Since 35B seems to work fine for you, I'd stick with that.
[Verizon LG G3] nl0128:
roirraW "edor" ehT, I switched back to 47A from XDABBEB's VS985 and followed your suggestions. Works great!

Do you or anyone have an issue where a reboot command will sometimes turn the phone off? I have to do a battery pull when that happens.
[Verizon LG G3] rcchusid:
The exact same thing has happened to me several times. Sometimes when I reboot it will reboot as it should. Other times it is necessary to do a battery pull. It happens both when I do a reboot to the system and when I reboot to recovery.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Good, cool!

& [MENTION=3910192]rcchusid[/MENTION]

It's not turning off, when it happens it seems to be locking up possibly during a black screen part of the shutdown process. It's a known issue that has happened on various stock ROMs. It's widely or even hotly debated about what the cause of the issue is. There is no known for sure reason for it happening, only some logical suggestions by a developer who has a VS985 and has technical knowledge. A workaround is to instead tell the phone to power off, and then turn it back on after it does.

I have a thread in the General section (use the search field in the General section and search for "black screen") about it, but there's nothing really but some interesting (to me anyway) statistics if you look at the details via the Google spreadsheet I documented my research on but in the end I think I'd have to do thousands of reboots in various phone ROM/root/etc situations instead of "only" 150 or so well-documented reboots I had done during the course of that research.

It's a bit of a sore point for me and at least one other person because inevitably quite a few people have speculated that the cause was the 35B Bootstack. If I'm remembering correctly, I documented 70 reboots in a row without a single hiccup while on the 35B Bootstack. This among some other unrelated problems that have occurred for some people, after which it was speculated that the Bootstack was the issue, have been part of the inspiration for me including the animated GIF I currently do in my signature - which if you're using TapaTalk you won't see so here it is:

See this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811

I'm running 47a rom on my g3, so in the section on downloading the framework, I selected sdk23, then arm, then v83. V84 is newer, likely preferred now.

---------- Post added at 06:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

On the reboot hang, I had it essentially 100% of the time when on the lollipop rom. Since switching to 47a, retaining 35a bootstack, reboot has been consistently good.
[Verizon LG G3] G0DM0DE:
Looks like a few people within this thread has run into the "Unfortunately, LG System server has stopped" issue (first mentioned page 5-6). Usually after I hit okay to this error I see the SD card mounted message too (the message you see when you restart your phone).....I've been battling this for a couple of weeks....Here is what I've tried so far

Attempt 1) Booted into recovery....Wipe (Dalvik/ART cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, Cache).....Install xdabbeb_stock_vs98547.zp----Did not run Bloatware remover...Manually downloaded apps off of play store....2-3 hours in got error message (LG system server)

Attempt 2) Removed SD card (when phone was off)...Then Booted into recovery....Wipe (Dalvik/ART cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, Cache).....Install xdabbeb_stock_vs98547.zp----Did not run Bloatware remover...Manually downloaded apps off of play store....2-3 hours in got error message (LG system server)

Attempt 3) Booted into recovery....Wipe (Dalvik/ART cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, Cache).....Install xdabbeb_stock_vs98547.zp----Ran Bloatware remover...Manually downloaded apps off of play store....3-4 days before I got error message (LG system server)

Attempt 4) Removed SD card Booted into recovery....Wipe (Dalvik/ART cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, Cache).....Install xdabbeb_stock_vs98547.zp----Ran Bloatware remover...Manually downloaded apps off of play store....5-6 hours in got error message (LG system server)

Note: Some boards reported using Titanium Backup would bring the issue back restoring apps....So I decided not to use it with my attempts above after a fresh install.

As far as I can tell the SD card does not come into play with this issue, meaning installing fresh with a SD Card or without a SD card still caused me to run into the LG System Server Error issue.

Additional Notes/thoughts.....I was using Whatsapp a lot followed by the Camera and Facebook....I also used a program to physically remove LG System Server which broke a lot of things and didn't help (which I expected).

Most of my googling and searches did not come up with a lot of information around "LG System Server" most of the old threads about this issue were related to the LG G2.....

What do you think my next steps should be? Or did I miss anything above in my attempts?
[Verizon LG G3] klong0149:
I know this has been answered, but I'm seeing conflicting responses, and I don't want to mess this up..

I recently took my phone from 47a back to 10b with lgflashtool, using some 35b dll file or something as recommended on here, rooted with Stump Root, and now have TWRP 3.0.0..

And so my question..

From here I believe I just need to just flash 47a and the 35b boot stack, BUT, which order do I flash these in, and what kind of wipes should I be doing and when, in this process?

I've seen people say to flash bootstack first, then people saying that will soft brick the device, so I'm torn! Thanks guys..
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
The only ROMs (that I know of for sure) that you can temporarily brick your phone by flashing a certain (35B) bootstack before flashing the ROM is JasmineROM 9.x and SkyDragon 6.x. This is because those two ROMs have some 24B partitions which will overwrite the ones from the 35B Bootstack, but doesn't overwrite them all, leaving a "fatal" combination. I have no idea if any international ported stock ROMs have the possibility to do the same thing.

If you're really in doubt, just flash the bootstack both before and after flashing the ROM and you won't go wrong. Don't get me wrong, it's redundant 95% of the time but it doesn't hurt anything so might as well just do it that way.

Now about wiping. When flashing ANY ROM on any Android phone, you should at minimum wipe Cache and Dalvik/ART. Most of the time you want to wipe Data too because often the app data from your previous ROM isn't compatible/doesn't play nice with the new ROM. You can use the built-in LG Backup to backup/restore your user apps, user data and limited system data.

Personally, I wipe internal storage as well because a lot of bloat from 10B and other early ROMs leave folders on your internal storage. Flashing a debloat zip from post #3 after flashing the ROM will result in those apps not existing in the first place when you boot the new ROM for the first time, and you'll be left with as reasonably clean internal storage as possible. Obviously, move anything you want to keep from internal storage first if you do that. I wipe system as well even though I'm very certain [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] has his ROMs wipe system anyway, so whatever your preference is.
[Verizon LG G3] klong0149:
Thank you so much for the thorough and timely reply..

Ok, just 2 more questions and I should feel confident moving forward lol..

So following the OPs directions..

1. Flash 35b bootstack

2. Wipe

3. Flash 47a firmware

1. Do I need to do awipebefore I start, or just do the wipe in between flashing bootstackand rom?

2. After flashing bootstack, do I need to reboot to recovery again, as mentioned somewhere in this thread, and do I do the wipebefore or after rebootback into TWRP?

I apologize, I just like to thoroughly understand the procedure before beginning.

Thank you!
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I do my wipes before flashing anything.

Just as the other thing I mentioned (flashing the bootstack both before and after flashing the ROM), it doesn't hurt anything to reboot into recovery after flashing the bootstack, so why not.

No, you don't do any more wipes. Just wipe the stuff once and start flashing.

You're welcome!

You're welcome! :)
[Verizon LG G3] klong0149:
..and I just realized who it was I was talking too. LASER WOLF just walked me through downgrading yesterday, and I believe you were the one who walked him through the same process originally..

So I just wanted to say thanks, in a way you've helped me through this entire process.

I only wish I'd found you sooner, before I ended up soft bricked multiple times trying to root 6.0 lol..

[Verizon LG G3] Khiraji:
After much deliberation, I flashed this to my phone a couple of days ago. Was on SkyDragon 5.0 previously. The difference is tremendous - my phone is FAST again! Everything I do on it (opening apps, camera, phone calls, texts, etc) feels significantly snappier and more responsive than before. I don't think it's just the placebo effect from messing with it, either :D

Xposed is working great, I ran the de-bloat script to get rid of all the crap, and with Amplify my battery lasts all day with fairly heavy usage. Thanks for all your hard work! The only tiny annoyance I've found is that my phone has taken to discharging randomly during the night when it's on its wireless charge base. Might just be that my Qi charger is crappy, need to do more testing, but otherwise this ROM is absolutely wonderful. Thank you!!
[Verizon LG G3] BoulderGeek:
This is a very nice ROM. Takes work to lean it out again and get it set up, after the nice, turnkey delivery of XDABEB's VS985 2.0.

Easy upgrade, just had to flash the hotspot fix to get that working, and use TiBu pro to freeze the system updates and debloat. No reboots, seems cooler to the touch.

Icons seem chunkier, though.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Maybe the DPI? [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's VS985 v2.0 ROM has a non-stock DPI. There's apps for changing it.

I use Nova Launcher Prime so I can change the size all of icons across the board if I want without changing the DPI.

[Verizon LG G3] schwem:
It's already rooted with systemless root but Android Pay has been patched to detect systemless root. This workaround is no longer effective. Android Pay no longer works with systemless root. It hasn't for quite a while now.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
This ROM has always used systemless root.

From the first post:
[Verizon LG G3] manchucka:
Has anyone been able to run this with any partitions formatted as F2FS? /cache reverts to EXT4 on reboot. I haven't tried /system, since there benefits of F2FS would be negligible or nonexistent. I tried /data as F2FS but it asked me for a password to decrypt upon boot. I haven't yet tried a clean install with /data as F2FS. Perhaps I will next.

*******

Update: Clean flash after formatting both /data and /cache as F2FS resulted in both being reformatted as EXT4. No big deal. I was curious. Used TWRP 3.0.0-2, or is it 3.0.0.2? Their making convention is odd.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I thought the kernel had to be modified to support F2FS. I know that [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] implemented F2FS support in his kernel for his VS985 v2.0 (35B-based) ROM, and I was using it back then but I haven't fooled with it since.

I know also that he always told me the F2FS binaries they included with at least TWRP v2.8.7.0 were old binaries, and I don't know if they updated them for 3.x.x. He had included instructions in his other ROM on how to use his included updated binaries from within TWRP.
[Verizon LG G3] dwhitehead:
Actually, it is working with systemless on this rom as I have been using it for some time. All you have to do is delete the "/su/xbin_bind" folder and reboot.

What it doesn't like is xposed, and from what I've read you have to disable xposed and reboot in order to get Android Pay to work.

[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik/ART, flash the 12B Bootstack and a 12B ROM (one of the old versions of JasmineROM or SkyDragon - probably either v2 or v3 of those, not sure you'll have to look).

Verizon VVM Zip

After the recent departure of one of the community members, there isn't access to the OP mentioned VVM Standalone Zip as linked.

Does anyone have this file that they'd be willing to share with me? Or does it already exist elsewhere in the forum and I'm too slow to find it?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Would the option to rip the existing VVM out of this ROM be an option for your purposes? If so, there are multiple options to do so - use 7-Zip on Windows to extract the ROM zip and then use 7-Zip to extract the system.img. Then copy the files over to the appropriate place (same place you ripped them from - probably system/priv-app) and set the files' permissions to be the same as other files in other priv-app app folders.

Or you can TWRP backup, flash/dirty flash if already on 47A the ROM without debloating, or at least without debloating the Verizon stuff (or "All" package that includes Verizon stuff), or use the custom debloat generator (seems to be down at the moment). You can either rip the VVM apk/files out of there from within the running Android and restore your TWRP backup, or if you were on 47A already, dirty flash the other stuff (Xposed) you might've done previously.

If this isn't a solution for your purposes, or you're only asking because flashing the zip is much easier, than I understand! :)
