Hi

I have the Moto e 2 to and to me Bluetooth tethering is always slower. Can't you use normal Internet tethering?
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AIRHAB:
Unfortunately, no wifi and cellular don't work.
[Verizon LG G3] andr0id187:
Hey everyone, I have a verizon g3 with firmware version 47a. I'm hell bent on rooting it and it's hell bent on stopping me at any cost XD So the problem is, I'm trying to flash the 10b kdz file, and when I load up the tool and start the flash, it gets the bar to 100% and then gives me an error that says can't connect to server. After that, I just click OK and watch my phone for activity, and there is none. The firmware update bar on my phone remains on 0%. Any solutions would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
*IF* you're not rooted/haven't flashed one of [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's Bootstacks, then you can't flash anything older than the 35B KDZ from (stock unrooted) 35B or higher. You have to use the 10B TOT along with the .DLL that's extracted from the 35B KDZ. You can find both in my Android File Host section linked to at the bottom of [MENTION=4795150]annoyingduck[/MENTION] 's stickied return to stock thread in the General section, also linked to in my signature below.

Regarding no connection to server, read the second or third post of the thread I reference above. But as I said above, if you're coming from 100% stock unrooted 47A, you have to use the TOT method to downgrade to the easily rootable 10B, where you can then use the Stump app on XDA to root it using the brute force option, and then use TWRP Manager from the Play Store to put on TWRP. Rooting gets more complicated after 10B and putting TWRP on gets more complicated after 12B.
[Verizon LG G3] andr0id187:
Hey, thanks so much for the help and reply. So I followed everything you said and everything in the guide, and i still have a small problem. When I start the flash, it's fine. It detects the phone and "analyzes phone setting". Then, it gets to the software extraction part, and **** hits the fanXD. Basically, the connection to server lost window pops up, and the original window states "Upgrade stopped due to an error". And of course, my phone has no activity, the firmware update bar is still on 0%. What gives??
[Verizon LG G3] jurington:
Are you clicking on analyze phone? You don't need to do that. And I know in the past that has messed me up.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome!

Did you wait 5-10 minutes since the connection to server dialog is normal? Commonly if you wait 5-10 minutes and not have touched any buttons in any dialogs in the software that pop up, you'll find the phone is flashed.

Can you confirm since you haven't said - are you 100% stock unrooted or rooted and have previously flashed one of [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's Bootstacks? Like I said, if you're 100% stock unrooted, you have to use the TOT method, not KDZs. TOT uses a different tool. Just Google for it. "TOT Method"

If waiting 5-10 minutes doesn't help, try the TOT method. It's better overall anyway, even if it's less user friendly (except that LG Flash Tool 2014 throws up bogus error dialogs).

^^^^^^^^^^ yep, definitely, what [MENTION=5672224]jurington[/MENTION] said.
[Verizon LG G3] andr0id187:
Goddamit you're right, I'm stupid, I didn't read that :D I AM on stock, unrooted so I'm going to have to use TOT. So will the file remain the same? vs98510b?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'm not clear on your question. It's a 10B TOT (and the .DLL I mentioned previously) instead of the 10B KDZ, so it's a different file.
[Verizon LG G3] andr0id187:
Ok, so I flashed the 10b tot, rooted it with stump, installed SuperSU and TWRP. Then, according to this article: http://androiding.how/root-verizon-g3-47a-marshmallow-firmware/

I'm supposed to flash the 35b bootstack which I also did successfully. Then, I can flash back to 47a and keep the root. Only problem is, after installing the bootstack, when I try to flash 47a, it's not rooted, and gives me a "con.android.phone has stopped working" error. I think this might have something to do with the fact that in the article, it says NOT to let TWRP install SuperSU when flashing 47a. When i flash it, it gives me no option to accept or deny the installation of Super SU. Is this the problem? Or is it something else entirely? Thanks again.
[Verizon LG G3] jurington:
Did you flash xdabbebs 47A rom? Also did you did you do any wipes in twrp before you flashed the rom? And what version of twrp do you have?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'd wipe Cache, Dalvik /ART and Data and reflash [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's VS985 stock 47A firmware.

TWRP v3.0.0 is systemless root (or at least Marshmallow) aware so doesn't offer to flash SuperSU.

2.8.7.0 isn't aware and asks since it won't be able to find SuperSU where it looks.

If you do wipes after flashing the ROM, it's common to lose root. Just reflash the ROM.

Also optional debloat zips in post three of his ROM thread.
[Verizon LG G3] andr0id187:
Ok so first of all, yes I have the xdadev 47a rom, yes I did a wipe in twrp, is that bad? And I have twrp 3.0.0.0(latest?) If you need any more information please ask, I'm really hoping to solve this problem. Thanks
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No, you're supposed to wipe in TWRP, he was just covering all bases. Did you re-flash the ROM?

You can also/instead potentially flash the latest SuperSU.zip from [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] 's website.
[Verizon LG G3] andr0id187:
so whats happening is, every time after i flash the xdadev 47a rom(i dont wipe mind you, i just reboot), it's giving me the com.android.phone has stopped error and no root. I really don't understand why
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Check the ROM zip MD5 hash? I assume you're meaning you don't wipe after. Did you try wiping again before flashing it?
[Verizon LG G3] andr0id187:
yes i've tried wiping before flashing and it still gives me the error, I'm currently wiping after flash to see what happens, hopefully i dont lose root
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
That's not going to make a difference but you will likely not be rooted. You'll still have TWRP though.
[Verizon LG G3] andr0id187:
so how do i go from 10b to 47a and keep root?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
The only way I know is what we've already discussed and what you already did. Did you check the ROM zip MD5 hash? I've flashed my (and my wife's) G3's many times with these files when I was doing tests and haven't had this problem. I'm perplexed as well but if you should check the MD5 hash to eliminate that as a problem. That said, you might need to reflash the 10B TOT. TOTs flash more partitions than KDZs and can fix problems that flashing KDZs and ROMs can't. I once had a weird issue that it didn't matter what KDZ or rooted ROM I flashed, the problem persisted. I don't recall the exact problem but it conceivably could've been the same as similar to yours. Once I flashed the 10B TOT, all was well and when discussing with [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION], that's when he educated me that TOTs have more partitions than KDZs. I'm a diehard TOT fan ever since (I preferred KDZ when possible previously).

I know you already flashed the TOT but we're running out of ideas. If the MD5 hash of the 47A ROM and 35B Bootstack match what they're supposed to (listed on the Android File Host download page for each file). Make sure and

You should also get in the habit of flashing the appropriate Bootstack every time you flash a ROM, or after every time you restore a TWRP backup. Even if you know you're already on the 35B Bootstack - mind you, I'm not meaning this as "snake oil" or as a solution to the trouble you're having, and flashing it more than once won't change anything, but I just wanted to make sure you know this since some ROM's (JasmineROM and SkyDragon) include a partial Bootstack and can cause a brick (so the Bootstack should be flashed after the ROM in their case), and TWRP Backups/Restores don't backup or restore the entire set of partitions including in the Bootstack, so if you happen to be on a ROM that you were using the 24B Bootstack with, and restore a TWRP Backup of a 35B or higher ROM, you might not have a signal.

---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

@andr0id187 I also want to be completely clear since I read back and I don't think you specified. Sorry for the repetetiveness but when you wipe before flashing, you're wiping Cache, Dalvik /ART and Data correct?
[Verizon LG G3] andr0id187:
Yes, I'm doing the default TWRP wipe which includes all of the above(right?)
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No idea. As with backups it might default to what was chosen previously. I don't know what it defaults to on flash of TWRP from freshly rooted. I look at the list and make sure those three are checked everytime. Sometimes I wipe other things like internal storage or just Cache and Dalvik /ART so other times I want to make sure I have selected exactly what I want.
[Verizon LG G3] andr0id187:
Hey man , sorry for taking a while I just wanted to say thanks so much for helping me. I followed what you said and was able to get rooted and eventually install xposed and other stuff. Thanks for helping me through the tedious journey and I hope I can pay you back somehow sometime
[Verizon LG G3] Vince556:
If you don't mind me asking, how did you finally get it to work? I'm stuck in the same position as you and don't really understand how to root with the TOT file or method. Other websites say the kdz file will work with the LG flash tool but others say it doesn't work.

I have a unrooted stock LG G3 with android 6.0 and the build is 47A. I'm at a loss here.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No sweat! Wasn't that long, anyway, in the grand scheme of things. :) You're welcome! I enjoy helping so no payback necessary - I enjoy hearing about people having success doing what they were trying to do.

Just to be clear, I assume you mean you don't understand how to use the TOT method, not specifically how to root, since rooting on 10B, whether using the KDZ or TOT, is the same (the Stump app available on XDA, using the brute force option).

On stock 35B and higher, the only KDZs you can flash are 35B and higher. Before 35B you could flash any KDZ you wanted. Once you flash a Bootstack (described at the bottom of this post) you can flash any KDZ you want, if you ever want to again. I still recommend TOT because TOTs flash more partitions than KDZs and can fix problems that KDZs can't.

This is a good guide for the TOT method on the G3:

2015 (updated with pictures) TOT Method!. It links to a place to get the TOT, which in the site linked to the TOT file is titled "VS98510B_03.zip". You have to extract the zip to get the TOT file.

However, the "LGVS985_20140620_LGFLASHv160.dll" file on there looks like an old .DLL given the date 20140620, which won't work from stock 35B or higher on the VS985. You can get the correct .DLL (and the TOT also) from my Android File Host link at the bottom of the first post of [MENTION=4795150]annoyingduck[/MENTION] 's stickied return to stock thread in the General section - also linked to in my signature below. His link to the .TOT could be faster than Android File Host - not sure.

Use the Verizon only link for the drivers although personally there's newer drivers and I get them directly from either Verizon or LG. http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LGVS985 Software & Firmware tab. Direct link to the driver "LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.1.1.exe", if it works without going to their website http://tool.lime.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=UW00120120425.

Once you're rooted using Stump as I described earlier, then use TWRP Manager from the Play Store to install TWRP, then from TWRP wipe Cache, Dalvik/ART and Data, flash whatever ROM you want and appropriate Bootstack for the ROM. Get the Bootstack from [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's VS985 v2.0 ROM thread in the Development (non-original) section. 12B Bootstack for KitKat, 24B for Lollipop 5.0.x and 35B for Lollipop 5.1.x and Marshmallow 6.0.
[Verizon LG G3] andr0id187:
I know "edor" already epxlained it, but I'll try explaining it to you my way, maybe it will help. So first you have to get a different LG Flash tool from here or anywhere else: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2785089

Also, make sure you have the right dll for your model, and the 10b tot file

After you flash the 10b tot file, download "Stump" rooting app. Root the phone, and then download superSU

Then download TWRP manager and install TWRP

Then, download the 35b bootstack and 47a firmware for your model

TWRP Steps(IMPORTANT):

1. Do a wipe(factory reset) from TWRP

2.Install 35b bootstack

3.When it says done and gives you 2 options "reboot" or "wipe" select wipe and follow through

4.Don't exit TWRP, go straight back to install and install 47a firmware

5.DO NOT WIPE JUST REBOOT

That should be it

Download root checker and keep me updated, I'll try to help the best I can
[Verizon LG G3] Vince556:
Yeah, it took me a while to figure a lot of that out but you are correct. I am stuck trying to install the TOT file. I have it unzipped and the dll file pasted per the instructions. Drivers installed and all of the other files ready to go. But, when I start the LG flash tool, I get a pop up that says "LG USB/Parallel Lock Key is not dectected!!" Then It asks for an ID and password.

I must have downloaded the wrong file or driver maybe?
[Verizon LG G3] andr0id187:
So I'm just recently having a problem, I have a lot of storage left, but my camera keeps saying insufficient storage??
[Verizon LG G3] andr0id187:
Google play also keeps giving me error 492 what's wrong??
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Where do you have it storing stuff? Try switching back to internal if you have it set to external?

Personally I use the Mega app (free 50 GB) to automatically upload any new photos or videos I take whenever I'm on WiFi, so if I ever have to wipe my phone I'm not afraid to lose pictures.

Also, internal storage is faster and more reliable than Micro SD, which is why Google doesn't support or has limited support for Micro SD.

No idea. Try Googling that?
[Verizon LG G3] Vince556:
Got a little farther but now when I try to install the TOT file and dll I get a download fail. There is no ks version error.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If you're saying you have an error about ks version, if everything else fails you can always try my "[VS985][TWRP]Install TWRP/flash older KDZs on stock 35B-47A, works for 'ks error' " thread in the General section. Note that it's semi-dangerous. It has caused lots of bricks where they need to use the TOT or at least a KDZ to recover, but at minimum it makes it so that you can flash any KDZ (including the 10B one) from any stock version. However, after you do that method, you HAVE to flash something somehow - your current running ROM will no longer be operational as it is so have everything backed up (the built in LG Backup is fast and excellent) to your MicroSD card.

Also, note that the method hasn't caused a brick for me when I've tested it 2-3 times, nor for several others who used the method. I have no way of telling what's going different or why for everyone who has had an issue.

If you're saying that you don't have that error, then ignore that. :) It really is a very last ditch effort due to it bricking so many people's phones, albeit at least recoverable for 99% of users that I know of.
[Verizon LG G3] Vince556:
Thanks for all of your help. I googled the KS error(still not sure what the error truly is) and your thread popped up. With the error I don't think I have any other option but to try your method if I want to gain root access.

I will need to try and build up the confidence to attempt it though :)

Thanks again for the help not just for me but everyone else you have helped try to get issues sorted out. Great avatar btw
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome (for my part)! Good luck, and as far as I've known or seen, no one has found any explanation for the KS error - I'm definitely curious what it means too.

The only thing I'll say regarding my KS error solution thread that may or may not help is to make sure and copy all of the commands and paste them all. I've speculated that some people might be accidentally not getting all the commands, particularly if they are copying from the website in the codebox where you have to scroll just a little bit further to get all of the commands, although this shouldn't be a problem if you copy the commands from the text file I provide to download. Just guessing, though, and there's no strong evidence that's what's causing some people to brick.

Good luck!

Thank you very much! It's a great movie.
[Verizon LG G3] andr0id187:
Hey, could you check out my new thread I made stating my newfound problems? I feel like you could help?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I answered the problems you brought up in the new thread in this thread post #28.
[Verizon LG G3] andr0id187:
Well the camera is already on internal, and I feel like there's something wrong with the memory because when I try to download a file from chrome it says no sd card.
[Verizon LG G3] andr0id187:
Actually, how do you set the apps storage access from internal to external and vice versa if you don't have an external sd card inserted?
[Verizon LG G3] andr0id187:
Also, do you think the problem could be that I ran "Fix contexts" in TWRP?

This was before the problem started occurring, and after I did it, I did a wipe and reflash

Update: after using a root file explorer, I've discovered that my storage/emulated/0 folder contains absolutely nothing and neither does /sd card

When I try to start Lg file manager it says "Cannot read files. File Manager will be closed. Please check Media Storage enable settings and try again"

UPDATE 2: I did some research and turns out i needed to fix write permissions for my internal storage, I downloaded an app and successfully fixed it
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Glad you solved it. To answer your question, if you don't have a Micro SD card inserted then no of course there's no way to switch to external.

It wouldn't surprise me if the problem was caused by that. I believe TWRP warns you when you select that option. You should also always make a TWRP backup before making major changes such as that.

Ultimately if you find you're still having any kind of problem, I recommend flashing the 10B TOT and starting fresh.
