The root we currently have flashes an exploited system. Using our current method, you could re-root, but it would downgrade you to 5.1 at the same time (Assuming this update doesn't increment the bootloader).

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------

Does anyone know if this update increments the bootloader?

i.e., can we downgrade by flashing 11b?

I have never had to reenter my prints. I do however, double up my index fingers (use 2 print slots for each finger) so that I don't have issues with it recognizing them.
[Verizon LG V10] Animalthewolf:
The old fingerprint update fixed a lot of the issues doing it with a case. Once I did them again, I only had to put in 1 print for each index finger. I tried to double it up like you, but it just told me that I already had that finger added. Either way, I have no issue unlocking my phone.

You should fill up all 4 slots though. There is an exploit out there if you use Nova Launcher that allows people to access your phone by adding their own fingerprint. They can do it without entering your pass/pin to access the fingerprint management area.

Hey guys do anyone know where is the kdz I don't have a verizon sim and neither live in the usa, I really want to update my phone :(
[Verizon LG V10] mcbeat257:
I factory reset my device, but for some reason the OTA does not appear and just says it's up to date. What is wrong?
[Verizon LG V10] sonofevil77:
WiFi calling is working for me.

Verizon LG V10
[Verizon LG V10] Orca2040:
I'm having the same issue. Do you have a Verizon sim card? I'm on T-Mobile, so I'm assuming that might be why I'm not getting the update.

If anyone could possibly supply us with a KDZ, it would be very much appreciated.
[Verizon LG V10] rustypie:
I've noticed that when using WiFi since upgrading to MM is much quicker and more responsive. On LP when on WiFi when I would click a link there would be a slight delay but everything is really quick and responsive now.

Before upgrading OTA, I tried using the upgrade assistant to see if I could pull a KDZ but the assistant said there was no upgrade available.
[Verizon LG V10] OnceAMatrixMan:
What do you think - factory reset before accepting the update (not rooted)? Or is it not needed? Thanks.
[Verizon LG V10] freebird_78:
Seems you can't "fill up" the other slots with copies of the same FP, like you could before. Once you register one finger, you're done. It'll recognize the finger, even in a different slot. Seems registering them goes a whole lot quicker than before too.
[Verizon LG V10] mcbeat257:
I am actually using a Verizon sim card.

---Edit---

I waited about 2 hours and after the stock reset I just got it to update. Probably because there were background updates that were being applied.
[Verizon LG V10] orangewaldo:
I waited to root because of whispers about big red pushing this update and it was worth it to me Imo. The fingerprint unlock is so fast it feels almost instant sometimes. Everything loads faster. WiFi calling is supported natively. The fingerprint integration with banking apps and PayPal is also much improved. I haven't tried android pay yet, but I'm quiet happy so far.
[Verizon LG V10] hann1balk1ng:
I did something which resulted in a bootloop, I figured since i was going to have to reflash and reroot now would be a good time to check out the MM update, now i cant downgrade. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions ? When I try using LGUP at 9% i get an error code whice is as such "Error: Error Code 0x2000,

TOT antirollback version is smaller than device version"
[Verizon LG V10] DucatiMon:
No need to factory reset. Just check the upgrade box in LGUP when you are going back the non rooted image. Once you reflash the non rooted image, turn off the phone and boot into System Recovery. Select Wipe cache in System Recovery. Reboot. Once you reboot, check for the update. Take the OTA after it is done downloading and that should do it. Remember, this can take as long as 20 min. For me, it took about 10. All my frozen apps remained frozen with the exception of emergency alerts. Device feels a lot better. Major improvements with the fingerprint scanner, wifi speeds, and overall snapiness of the device.

Just saw the non rooted part. I don't see a need to. I am running great with no noticeable ill effects.
[Verizon LG V10] mikeberding:
My "Downloading Software from Verizon" is currently at 148% with 1462.3/988.1MB downloaded...

I came from rooted... "upgraded" to 11B unrooted KDZ and am downloading MM update currently.

Thoughts?

At 200% it went to update. So far so good.

[Verizon LG V10] *Madmoose*:
Marshmellow changes everything. It requires the bootloader to be unlocked to run root. I wouldn't take that update if you want to be rooted.
[Verizon LG V10] mcbeat257:
Did you use the refurbrish mode? If not that's probably why you have that error.

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

The bootloader doesn't HAVE to be unlocked to do it cause all it takes is the KDZ file to turn into a tot file.

---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

You can't update to marshmallow while rooted. You need to factory wipe the device to stock before updating.
[Verizon LG V10] mikeberding:
Even if flashing the 11B KDZ?
[Verizon LG V10] PUERTO_RUK:
Yeah, I spoke too fast and wasn't thinking. I forgot how finicky everything is on marshmallow because of the bootloader and boot image
[Verizon LG V10] croth56:
Bluetooth

If you have trouble getting audio with Pandora in your car using bluetooth and the January update fixed it, you might not want to update. I wasn't able to get audio through the car bluetooth and the January update fixed that, great. Updated last night and bluetooth streaming no longer plays audio. Broke, fixed, broke. Gotta love it
[Verizon LG V10] mcbeat257:
If you flash the KDZ, you can only flash it in refurbish mode. If you flash it in the upgrade mode it will error.

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

When I usually attach the device to bluetooth I have to flip the bluetooth switch a little bit and maybe reboot the device. It's just goes to show how they messed up the bluetooth on this phone.
[Verizon LG V10] THADDIUS25:
how long did it take the 1st boot take after installing mm? I did the update but its been like 20min and still hasnt loaded.
[Verizon LG V10] Tomvee33:
No problem here, can switch between bt speaker, subaru bt, and phone voice.

The problem I found is I can't swipe up for Google now anymore. Most likely part of now on tap I suppose.
[Verizon LG V10] cpurick:
My understanding is that on Lollipop the fingerprint was proprietary, so changes you see now could be because you're on Google's own Marshmallow fingerprint code.

What I want to know is whether the fingerprint sensor now works with 3rd party apps like LastPass, because the proprietary one didn't. Almost useless, actually.
[Verizon LG V10] sigmaxaa:
Same problem regarding the swipe up for Google Now. So annoying as I use that all the time.
[Verizon LG V10] DucatiMon:
I didn't factory wipe and I was able to take update after going from root to non root using uo the upgrade method, and not the refurbish method.
[Verizon LG V10] goldsmitht:
Just hold finger on home button, and it will bring it up. Click on the G and it's still the same
[Verizon LG V10] sigmaxaa:
Pressing and holding home isn't bringing it up. Is there a setting you set up to get it to work?
[Verizon LG V10] goldsmitht:
The first time it asked me if I wanted to activate Google on Tap, I clicked yes, and it's worked ever since
[Verizon LG V10] sigmaxaa:
Interesting. I toggled that on and went back to the home screen and nothing happened.
[Verizon LG V10] xceebeex:
Yes, the fingerprint sensor works with Fastpass now and it is awesome.
[Verizon LG V10] abudraih:
i am not able as well, i am using the phone outside USA , no new updates or even when using the verizon tool on PC, it says no updates available, is there any other way to get the update?

same problem for me

any help?
[Verizon LG V10] goldsmitht:

[Verizon LG V10] hann1balk1ng:
Has anyone who has taken the MM update been able to downgrade?
[Verizon LG V10] DWilso3:
For those who took the update, which apps work in dual window?
[Verizon LG V10] mobilecutzzfa:
yes it does
[Verizon LG V10] scififan68:
You have to press the power button then keep your finger on the button then it unlocks the phone and its very close to Nexus 5X/6P fingerprint sensor in speed. So its more like the LG G5 where you have to press the button to power to turn on the screen.
[Verizon LG V10] highbloodsugar:
I had the same error when I tried "update" rather than "refurbish". I have upgraded to MM. Does this mean I cannot flash 11b without bricking?
[Verizon LG V10] Animalthewolf:
The same apps that worked on JB. Doesn't seem to have added the ability to use whatever app you'd like.
[Verizon LG V10] DWilso3:
Dang. I wasn't hoping it'd be everything (that would be incredible, but unrealistic). I was just hoping they would re-add support for at least one browser. (It was removed in a Verizon update earlier).
[Verizon LG V10] universal_cynic:
I just updated to MM, not rooted or anything. I now get the "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped" about a billion times. It wants me to update Google Play Services, but won't let me download it from Google Play Store or install the apk that I was able to download. Help!?
[Verizon LG V10] mlg250:
I can't remember how long, but I do remember becoming very nervous that the update had stalled. I talked myself into waiting and waiting. I literally had the phone in my hand to examine what I was sure was a stall, when the logo came up and all was fine.

Or at least "fine", if you're happy with the update - which I am not. But I don't know how to go back. If you haven't done it, consider and rad the posts about what wasn't changed.
[Verizon LG V10] norman1080:
I am rooted and have xposed installed. I like the setup that I have, but is there any advantage in upgrading to MM. So.... my question is, take the update to MM or not?
[Verizon LG V10] zatanas33:
Upgrading to MM means losing root (if you currently have it). Keep that in mind.

Pisses me off that I can't install the Google dialer. I used the 22a kdz file through LGUP and chose UPGRADE to get MM, but now I've also noticed some of my apps didn't carry over as well. Anyone else have these issues?
[Verizon LG V10] Haxcid:
Back up your data and do a factory reset. See if that fixes the issue.
[Verizon LG V10] Dr. Righteous:
Having bluetooth issues since the MM upgrade hit.

Was told by version the solution was to do a cold reset; (looses all data) and start over.

I did that this week end hoping it would fix the staticy bluetooth issues.

NOPE. Same problem.

Bluetooth worked fine before the upgrade.
[Verizon LG V10] JimiGEE:
I have always seemed to have Bluetooth issues, and mainly just with LG Tones. I had the LG Tone Actives and they would sound garbled at times...as if I was too far away from the phone...when phone was in pocket. Now I have the LG Tone Infinim...and maybe it's a coincidence, but I don't have much of a problem as I did, but still experience it
[Verizon LG V10] SprManKalEl:
I noticed with my LG Tone HSB800 that if the buds come out of my ear a little then it sounds like I'm in a tin can. I ordered some replacements that are triangle shaped from Amazon. All better.

[Verizon LG V10] FL4NKENSTEIN:

As of right now you cannot flash backwards. Lg has an anti-roll measure with LGUP that doesn't allow you to flash an older version of andriod
[Verizon LG V10] Yamahar6riding:
Where were you able to download the 22a kdz? Everytime I attempt to download it it goes to a dead link. I need to do a fresh flash on this Verizon V10 but can not. It gets to 9% and either fails or if I try another kdz it has anti-rollback warning.

Thanks for any assistance
[Verizon LG V10] PUERTO_RUK:
Yeah, I was able to do it. This was so long ago. The problem I found was that if you are upgrading, it doesn't wipe the old app data (of course it shouldn't). So after I did the upgrade, I had to manually wipe the phone through factory reset and was able to download all of my apps again. I can't remember the link for the 22a but it should be in this forum

Hi,

I have done a lot of research, have tried a lot of tools( Dr Fone wonder share for eg), but I have been unsuccessful in recovering deleted videos. I really need those videos for legal reasons.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] king200:
The KIII I got is now working very well. Hardware is good but the remote control is very week. I use an Air Keyboard anyway (pic below).

My main use is Kodi Video. I use Netflix and Amazon Prime Video too. I sideloaded each of those. The Kodi Version 15.2 installed with the box is 'special' and steers you to pay services and removes and limits some addons. A sideload of Kodi Jarvis 16.x failed and you have to uninstall Kodi 15.2 first. If you want to clone a different box, make an XBMC backup and restore. Were I to do it again, I would likely install SPMC Kodi Forkhttp://spmc.semperpax.com/ You can keep the stock 15.2 and run SPMC at the same time.

I didn't like the launcher and chose Nova Prime. Long press on the left mouse key or menu button will behave like screen press on phone.

Without a recovery or recovery image, I am reluctant to make many changes to /system. If I make a mistake, I don't know how to recover and vendor has not been responsive to pointing me to recovery image.

The Settings App is a pain. I used Quick ShortShortCutMaker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut to make shortcut to the AOSP settings app.

I didn't like the unknown to me Supersu installed. I installed a more standard Supersu and then I was able to get to the settings and permissions for Supersu. Were I to do it again, I'd try QuickShortCutMaker to find a shortcut to the installed SuperSu.

Some apps, i.e. Titanium Backup did not fit the screen properly and the overflow menu was not accessible. Menu on remote works. Editing build.prop and putting qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in the last line solved the menu over flow problems.

You can reboot into stock recovery with ADB over WiFi.

KIII S905 2GB/16GB Android v5.1.1 TV Box from ebay

I bought a KIII S905 2GB/16GB Android v5.1.1 TV Box from ebay also. It is working okay for the most part but I don't like the watered down settings app menus that came installed with it. I too am looking for a backup firmware image that will work on this box should it ever get corrupted and I have to reload from scratch. The specs on this box I have seem impressive for the $67 I paid for it on ebay (from China seller)... but there are no firmware update instructions or availability that I am aware of. It has an online OTA update app but it always times out and says failed to connect to server or some such message. I don't know if there will be future support on future OS updates or not for these boxes... so starting to research other alternative firmwares that can load on these boxes and work just in case of emergency should I ever corrupt the system and have to rebuild from scratch. I am surprised that there is no interest in these KIII boxes on the forums so far. Is it too new to catch on?

Mine has dual Wi-Fi antennas on it and supports 802.11AC Wi-Fi plus has gigabit LAN, 2GB and 16GB RAM and storage, S905 CPU. 4 USB ports, 1 TF card slot. Optical output jack, and all the standard goodies on most boxes. Seems loaded and a good buy for about $67. It is working just fine but trying to find out if these boxes have support from alternative sources.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Infobits:
I just wanted to point out that the above previous post was from me, infobits... I don't know why the XDA forums forced me to login with a google account id when trying to use Internet Explorer 11... the XDA forum pages do not display properly on IE11 and are all whacky. They display fine using the new MS Edge browser and Chrome... but not IE11. So I could not logon with my long time member userid of infobits. I wound up logging in as a new member with my Google userid. oh well.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Polido-PT:
Please help

Thanks for the info.

I got this box 3 days ago and it's been a real pain to deal with.

When I begin to use the box somehow I got plenty of "Unfortunately, Google Play services as stopped" errors. When I say plenty it's like 1 error in every 5 seconds or so.

I tried to update the firmware (that seller gave me) but I'm getting this error:

"This package is for "p20x" devices; this is a "p20x" ddrsize=".
(Status 7)

I start looking around and I found out that my build.prop in system directory doesn't have this

getprop("ro.platform.ddrsize") == "2G"

that the "updater-script" file in the firmware requires.

What should I do?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Kraka:
There appears to be several manufacturers of this KIII S905 TV Box. I found at least three of them listed in their corresponding websites: Acemax, Venztech and Videostrong. When inquired, each claimed they are the OEM. I hope they have similar board design (but perhaps with different eMMC and RAM chip manufacturers). I hope to receive my KIII soon and when I do, I will try to open and examine the board and post the hardware info here.

You can download stock firmware for Acemax KIII: http://chinagadgetsreviews.com/down...-1-1-stock-firmware-acemax-kiii-tv-box-2.html. One OEM sent me the link to the latest firmware but I have not been successful in downloading it as the instructions are in Chinese and it kept getting aborted from download errors.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Infobits:
Hi, I was able to download the firmware file using FireFox browser. I first tried to download it using IE11 but it failed near the end saying the file was too large and to try using another browser like Chrome or FireFox. FireFox worked for me. And I don't see any Chinese language instructions... it was all in English. So you may want to try the download again. I am saving this firmware in case I ever corrupt my KIII box and will only try to load it then. I am just saving it as a backup measure for now. So I don't know if it will load on my no-name KIII box successfully or not at this time as I am not trying it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Kraka:
Sorry, I was in the process of updating the link to the latest KIII-ota-20160317.164729.V1031P2.zip firmware when I saw your post. In case you didn't catch it, you can try the updated link to get the March 17 2016 version. Yes, I did download both versions from the link I posted. As for the Chinese language instructions site, it wasn't from the same OEM. It was from another manufacturer whom I had requested and had in turn gave me a link to some Chinese cloud storage place. I think the one from Acemax should be ok as it is for the same KIII S905 with 2G/16G and 802.11ac wifi.

Have you been able to save the nandroid and flash the latest fw?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Infobits:
No, I have not done anything to load the firmware I downloaded as I don't need to at this time.

What link are you talking about for the latest KIII-ota-20160317.164729.V1031P2.zip firmware? I don't see any link to download it.

I just searched for it and got it from here:

http://chinagadgetsreviews.com/down...-1-1-stock-firmware-acemax-kiii-tv-box-2.html

I am not sure if we can trust these downloads... I looked at the contents of the .zip files and all the files seem to be dated from year 2008. That does not seem to jive with being the latest Android version files now does it?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Kraka:
Yup, that's the same one I put in edited post #5. Perhaps I should have created a new one instead of just editing it.

You're right, the files are dated 2008, but one of the files contain reference to 20160317 (March 17, 2016). Also it's signed so I'm sure it's legit.

BTW are you also experiencing the same Google Play has stopped issue reported by [MENTION=7395526]Polido-PT[/MENTION]?
