Hello all.
I tried a rom (Barepops) coming from stock KK. Then i restored back after testing LP and my network is borked. It will detect network, show red x, then refresh icon... Repeat.
I tried flashing a zv4 radio zip and it is still the same.
I am using gsm and it was working fine. Now it says network disabeled. Please help.
Ps. Is there a way to tell if i lost carrier unlock?
Thanks

It depends which BarePop was last.
TE has the right rpm,tz partitions.
If another, or stock I think, then flash the ZV4/6 rpm,tz partitions. They're in each of those threads. Posts 2, 3or 4.
Also, the modems aren't backwards compatible. So if on ZV8, it should work with any lollipop ROM.
If KK, then flash, or restore the ZV4/6 modem with TWRP.
The rpm,tz partitions will work with any ROM. But we seem to have less issues with the ZV4/6 rpm,tz partitions.
Thank you for replying!
I used V1. I read about the ZV4/6 rpm,tz partitions and used twrp to flash. Nothing.
Do yo believe that i probably lost the carrier unlock status? Any way i can check that?
I wil search the forum for a carrier unlock method (unless u know one right off the top of your mind)
Again, thank you.
Did you by a chance use my method? Or the one where you replace the files?
Try updating your profile and prl then type this into your phone app: ##update#
After that download terminal and restart your rild by running the following commands:
su <gets superuser accsess
killall rild <will restart your rild
If you lost your unlock then you will be locked to sprint and won't beable to go to any other carriar.
I followed instructions on op and pages 2 3 and 4. When i tried updating prl is just didn't do anything. All i want now is to get the phone how it was before. I already reverted back to stock kk.. The issue is i believe with the rpm. I am not in the us. (if that matters)
I noticed that the baseband now says uknown.
Should i wipe anything and flash the rpm again?
If you wipe everything try doing this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54442210&postcount=28
I had that issue, I could not get the modem to flash. Using twrp, had to use flash2 method.

Here is stock partition for ls990, thanks to autoprime

Thank you all. It would seem this was an error from my end as i had not flashed zv4 modem as explained.
All good now.
Ok, i'm fairly new to this stuff but have successfully rooted and modified several of my devices over the years. I've been attempting to upgrade my vs985 to as close to stock 5.1.1 as i can and after much reading decided on jasmine. I was rooted on kk 4.4.2 12b and I had no problems. the main reason i wanted to upgrade was for compatibility with my android play car stereo. I didn't have twrp so first i downloaded flashify and quickboot then flashed twrp from flashify. All good so far. Next I downloaded jasmine 9.0 and 9.1 or at least i thought lol. As it so happened i mistakenly ended up with one of the files being just the kernel for 5.1.1 35b. Must of been a long day cause I mistakenly failed to backup my current system and proceeded wipe data, cache, dalvik, and flashed the kernel file. As you might imagine it didn't turn out very good. I was stuck in boot loop. Fortunately I could still get into download mode so I was able to use the lg flash tool and I brought it all the way back to 10b stock firmware. Then i grabbed stump and rooted and flashed twrp again. at some point i noticed my cell signal was all over the place, up, down , no signal and it roamed almost constantly if there was any signal. I've had this phone and service for well over a year and never had anything like this at all. I knew it was something I did. I checked the back cover to be sure it was on properly and had good connection with the antenna and all checked out. I decided to go ahead and do the upgrade to jasmine 9.1 hoping this would correct the issue. Well no dice. I did create a backup this time and proceeded to wipe everything and flash 9.0 reboot then wipe nothing and flash 9.1, i guess as you call it "dirty" then reboot again. Here is a link to where i got the zips and instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63305722&postcount=4842
in the instructions it says "RESET factory from within ROM (in Settings) - REQUIRED" . this step seemed strange as why would i do a factory reset on my device and erase everything i just did? would it not return it to original? I wasn't even sure if that was what he meant so i skipped that. After all was finished my signal was still all over the place could hardly make a call. it was bad. So once again I used lg flash tool and returned it to stock 4.4.2 10b, this time I wiped the data, cache, delvik and system. To my complete surprise the signal had not improved, in fact it could have actually been worse. As I said waaaaaay at the top of this post before i started all this i was running 4.4.2 12b, not sure how i ended up with 12b as i don't remember any upgrades after i downgraded to 10b and rooted. I froze the ota's with titanium backup but maybe 12b was pushed before i was able to freeze them. Anyway I couldn't figure out how to get 12b back now so I just flashed the 4.4.2 12b modem instead, This time I wiped cache and delvik before and after the flash then rebooted. This fixed my signal, everything seems normal now. no roaming and good signal. my software build however still shows 10b, but I guess thats correct since I only flashed the modem.
I really want 5.1.1 on my G3 but I need my signal too lol. can any one help me figure out how to get this done, can I flash the 12b modem on 5.1.1 this is where i got the file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/development/rom-jasminerom-v1-0-t2904641 it is way down the bottom of the page. Sorry for the extremely long post i just wanted to make sure i didn't leave any details out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
thanks in advance

i dont know if jasmine flashes the L modem when you flash it, but if it doesnt, that would be why you are having issues after flashing the rom.
other than that, i dont know what would cause modem issues.

TL;DR but yes, JasmineROM flashes the appropriate modem. v9.0 only flashes the 24B modem because it doesn't contain a fuller set of the necessary partitions to allow the 35B modem to work by simply replacing the 24B modem with the 35B one.
You can flash the 35B bootstack after flashing JasmineROM 9.0 and the 9.1 update, or SkyDragon 6.x, but you must not be on the 35B bootstack before flashing either UNLESS you also flash the 35B bootstack again after flashing the ROM.
For reasons why: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=64064555
Edit: I meant to add, the 35B boostack contains the 35B modem and everything needed for it to work with JasmineROM 9.0/9.1.

In the future, please do not post the same thing in two different threads. This is against XDA's forum rules. Also, no reason to hijack an only partially related thread. I answered you in the JasmineROM thread.
Sorry for rule breaking, actually i did not aware of that. will avoid surely next time and thanks for reply. hats off to you.
Thanks for your help guys. Last night I figured out my phone was allowing me to send and receive text messages and make outgoing calls but was completely unable to receive any calls. Signal still terribly inconsistent, it would be on 4g one minute then you could watch as it dropped then no service. There'd be no service for 3 or 4 minutes then it would repeat that cycle again. If I switch from global to cdma/let in settings it would immediately regain full signal. Then the cycle of it dropping out would start again. I got to looking through about phone in settings and realized my imei number was missing, all zeros. I'm assuming that probably is the root of my problems. Not sure what to do, I doubt Verizon can help. Phones not insured or under warranty anymore. I haven't researched this New development on te forums yet it got to late last night. If anyone knows of this problem I could use your help. Thanks

If you go into the main Verizon G3 section or possibly the non-Verizon G3 section and use the search field to search for "IMEI" you'll probably find a helpful thread. I think it involves the QPST program on a Windows PC. You'll need the IMEI that it's supposed to have, so hopefully have that on the box or Verizon's website lists it.
Sometimes that's seemed to happen for some people when flashing TOTs, KDZs or ROMs. I've been lucky, it hasn't happened to me through all my flashing over the past year. Once you get it fixed, rooted and put TWRP on, you can back up the IMEI partition in TWRP. It's called something else in TWRP like EI or something - I forget.
Good luck!

I have spent sooooo many hours on this. The qpst apk wont see my phone I have done everything the tutorials suggest. the instructions are only applicable if there are no issues, in other words, in a perfect world. I'm sure its something stupid and very simple but I don't even have a place to start. First, its hard to believe this works on all OS's, but it doesn't state anywhere what it is and isn't compatible with. that info would be helpful. i have spent 4 hours a day for over a week trying to get this fixed and I'm no closer than i was when I started. Very frustrating. I'm still open to suggestions or any help that can be offered.
I have a VS985, I have tried the latest CM13 nightly, the latest CM12.1 Snapshot, Fulmics 5.0, latest Resurrection Remix, and AICP MM, I have tried the 24B, 23C, 23B and 34B modems, none of them seem to work, I can call and text on any of these configurations, and i have tried setting my apn on all of these roms, but they either delete the apn automatically, despite me saving it, or it gives no option of adding an apn, im on the normal Verizon network, how on earth do I fix this?! Do I need to flash back to stock using a TOT or KDZ?
Yes, you've flashed so much that who knows what's going on behind the scenes. Flash the 10B TOT, re-root with the Stump app, then use TWRP Manager from the Play Store to install TWRP, then flash the bootstack and ROM you want. Preferably not CM-based nor international stock ROM based. They seem to require more fiddling with to get everything working reliably, especially Mobile Data. I recommend @xdabbeb 's VS985 v2.0 ROM based on 35B (5.1.1) or his stock 47A firmware, which is Marshmallow - the latter along with any further debloating via my debloat post in my signature below.
Of course, right after you flash 10B, before you root and install TWRP, you should verify that Mobile Data is working for you. If it's not, you might need to exchange your SIM card with Verizon for a new one - some others have had to do that because their old SIM card didn't allow Mobile Data to work any more, if I'm remembering correctly.
Ok, will try tomorrow, and i dont really want root anymore, this device is going to a family member thats not really into that stuff, so could i just flash the stock 35B and be done, unless data still doesnt work, in which case, ill go to verizon.
Also, earlier, i was running CM13, and tried to flash the 35B modem again (might want to stop trying) and my twrp crashed to the twrp splash, and i reflashed the 35B, wiped cache, rebooted to system, and it put it into an infinite LG splash logo loop, had to reboot to stock recovery and wipe cache to get to twrp, reflashed my rom, wiped cache and dalvik, and it boot fine after that.
TOTs flash more partitions than KDZs. Sometimes flashing a TOT is necessary to fix strange issues that even flashing KDZs won't. So I suggest down the 10B TOT and then flash the 47A KDZ and be done with it. It's still double check mobile data on 10B.
So theres no 35B TOT? Currently when i try to flash KDZ files, it fails, it detects the device fine, but wont install the software.
When install TWRP and flashed CM12.1 for the first time, my device was on 5.0.1, and data worked fine on CM12.1, but now it doesnt.

No, the only TOT available for our device is 10B. You can always take the OTAs up to 47A from there if you want (assuming you're using an activated Verizon SIM), although it's harder to root after 10B, and harder to put TWRP on after 12B, if that's what you ultimately want.
Are you using the original USB cable with a USB 2.0 port preferably directly connected to the PC - not through a USB hub?
Im using an Insignia cable, connected directly to my pc, nothing in between, I dont think i have the original cable anymore.

Not saying it is definitely, but not using the original cable could be the problem.
Downloaded the TOT, will try later, ill report back.
When it was installing the TOT, my kitten decided to jiggle the cable (found my original cable!) and caused the phone toose connection, I could still get into dl mode, but that scared the crap out of me, it was sending system when it disconnected.
I installed the TOT, data works, updating, currently at 23C, thanks for the tips.
Successfully went from 10B to 47A without an issue, factory reset on 47A, everything working very good, data has no problems, thanks, MM is very good on this device, but AOSP seems to kill it for me, even LGs skin runs better!

Glad it worked, thanks for the update! Cats, so cute but so rotten sometimes. We have one too. ?
They love cables! Especially when they are important.
Not sure why mods locked my other post, but I DO NOT have an international version of LG G3, I have a Verizon version, VS985.
And this issue is not about Fulmic's ROM, but is about Xdabebb's 47a Marshmallow ROM which is a stock rom.
So I am going to repost, in hope of getting the help I was looking for originally.
I'm pretty tired of my LG G3 which I've owned now for a few months. It is the VS985 version. Purchased brand new.
I started off on the stock Kitkat it came with. Connectivity with Verizon 4g was fine, but the phone overheated regularly.
Then I updated to Fulmics 5.2, which worked okay, but only gave me slow 3g data.
Next I reverted all the way back to stock 10b, and then tried Xdabebb's Stock 47a. The rom works fine, but 4g connectivity is ****! I get constant blinking triangles (roaming) even though roaming is turned off. Worse yet, I don't get phone calls or texts half the time, and it constantly loses data connection. I got a new sim card, which works fine in my Nexus 6, but fails to be consistent in my LG G3.
Here's my questions:
1. Is there a fix with XDAbebb's 47a? Should I reflash the 35b bootstack?
2. If XDAbebb's 47a is the problem, is there a ROM that people have had good Verizon experience on?
3. Or should I just sell my LG G3 and move onto another phone or go back to my nexus 6 (which I like but it's so huge!)
I don't want to waste a lot of more time on this.
Mods, please don't lock this, as it is a different set of questions/issues from my other Fulmic's thread.

1. There's nothing that needs fixing in @xdabbeb 's stock 47A firmware, at least for the majority of people. It's as completely stock 47A as can be possible while being rooted and still being able to get into TWRP - there's no other differences from stock unrooted 47A. The 35B Bootstack is part of what's necessary in order to have a working modem while still being able to get into TWRP.
I doubt if reflashing the bootstack will make a difference but it doesn't hurt anything either. Does your Settings/About menu list a baseband and an IMEI for your device? If it does, it's doubtful that reflashing the bootstack will help, and that would only help if it said you have no baseband, or the wrong one. Just reflash it though if you have any doubts, like I said, it doesn't hurt anything to flash it.
2. @xdabbeb 's VS985 v2.0 ROM (based on 35B) is overall my very favorite ROM although I've been using his 47A and the 46A before it ever since he released them, along with heavy debloating. His VS985 v2.0 ROM is more heavily modified from stock 35B which is why he differentiates between his VS985 v2.0 ROM and his stock 47A firmware and although 47A in general is really smooth, you can tell the pride he took doing the work he did on the 2.0 ROM.
3. Only you can decide this. Have you tried flashing the 10B TOT (which will wipe your data and internal storage too)? As @xdabbeb taught me and I've personally witnessed when I checked into it, TOTs flash more partitions than KDZs do. Flashing the 10B TOT can fix things that flashing any KDZ or ROM won't. I had a weird problem several months ago that no matter what ROM or KDZ (including 10B) I flashed, the problem persisted. It wasn't until I flashed the 10B TOT that the problem went and stayed away.
It's very common that people that flash several ROMs, especially when some of them are CM/AOSP based and/or international stock ROM ports that they have trouble with mobile data afterward until they flash back to stock. I realize (I think you said) that you flashed the KDZ but try the TOT and go from there. Once you flash it, verify if everything is working 100% okay before rooting, putting TWRP on and flashing anything else. Then once you do that, go straight to flashing whichever stock-based ROM you decide on including the appropriate bootstack.

I'm attaching screenshots for where you should find the IMEI on 47A (Settings/About/Status) Just to be clear, you're saying you found the spot the IMEI should be in but it's not listed there? And you do have a baseband listed (Settings/About/Software info)? If so, then not having an IMEI is definitely the problem.

It probably won't make any difference then if you went straight from the 10B TOT, Stump root, TWRP to 35B Bootstack and 47A firmware. Sounds like the no IMEI thing is the problem.

You can't make phone calls either, right? I'm no expert on fixing no IMEI - I've never had to do that personally. When in TWRP, I use it to backup the EFS which I believe includes the IMEI, so that if it should get lost (which happens sometimes when flashing KDZs and TOTs), I can just restore it via TWRP.
If you don't have a TWRP backup of your EFS, then assuming you have the box the phone came in, or some record of what the IMEI was, I believe you have to use some Windows software - maybe QPST - to manually type the IMEI back in the right place. I know there's threads in the General and Q&A section, and probably those sections in the non-Verizon G3 forums too. I'd have to search for the threads myself though.

It probably won't make any difference then if you went straight from the 10B TOT, Stump root, TWRP to 35B Bootstack and 47A firmware. Sounds like the no IMEI thing is the problem.
You can't make phone calls either, right? I'm no expert on fixing no IMEI - I've never had to do that personally. When in TWRP, I use it to backup the EFS which I believe includes the IMEI, so that if it should get lost (which happens sometimes when flashing KDZs and TOTs), I can just restore it via TWRP.
If you don't have a TWRP backup of your EFS, then assuming you have the box the phone came in, or some record of what the IMEI was, I believe you have to use some Windows software - maybe QPST - to manually type the IMEI back in the right place. I know there's threads in the General and Q&A section, and probably those sections in the non-Verizon G3 forums too. I'd have to search for the threads myself though.
Every once in a while I'm tempted to go Nexus, but I guess none have attracted me enough yet, either feature/storage/camera/review/size and/or price-wise. I don't think I'd like anything bigger than the G3.

Thanks for your help. As you can see from the pics I've attached, baseband is fine, and there is no IMEI. Must have gotten nuked somehow when I went from Fulmics to 10b to 47A. I have an EFS backup in TWRP, so will try to restore the EFS partition.
I just did, and my IMEI is back, although phone number is blank, IMS registered status is Not Registered, ICCID says unknown. Let's try putting the sim card back in and see what happens.
IMEI is there, as is ICCID. IMS is still not registered. Phone number now shows up. As does PRL. Just tried phone calls and they now work, let's try a text. Works!!!!
Now lets try a data test. Speedtest now is off the charts! 74mbps down, and 13mbps up! Can't beat that.
roirraW "edor" ehT you are a genius, seems like that solved it. Now I guess I should make another nandroid backup while I've got everything working.
One last question, is the improvement of XDAbebb's VS985 v2.0 debloated enough to make it worth going from 47a to that one? Thanks again.
And no stupid blinking triangle of roaming! Tried Google Play store and now things install rapidly.

Both roms are excellent xdabebbs 2.0 is pretty slimmed down and runs really smooth. And his 47A is as close to stock marshmallow as you can get but still being rooted. I'm always flashing back and forth between the two, sometimes a few times per week lol I would recommend either one since they are both awesome. If you run 47A you can use some debloating zips that the warrior has made, and remove a lot of bloat or only take out what you want. I hope this helps in anyway and glad you got your g3 working now.

Awesome! You're welcome. I'm glad it was that relatively simple and that you had an EFS Backup! I (think I) keep a cloud backup of just an EFS TWRP backup of all of my wife's and my devices just in case. Much simpler than fooling around in proprietary software.
I've just luckily seen enough people have the no IMEI problem enough times on this device - glad it hasn't happened to me yet.

Disclaimer: Flash at your own risk. I am not responsible if you brick your device. Happy Flashing!!!
Flashing instructions:
1. Backup then wipe current rom.
2. Flash 10b efs restore you created from 10b kdz or TOT or you can try the flashable 35b bootstack.
3. Flash rom and restart wait for a bit it will start optimizing.
4. Rom should boot up and you will see 4g signal with bars. VS985 users still need to enter this apn from here. https://apn.gishan.net/settings/769_13_verizon_apn_settings_for_lg_g3.php
5. After entering APN 4G with signal will come up. It has the r roaming icon just make sure data roaming is selected. Dont worry you are not being charged roaming. 3G and 1X working.

ok, I guess I was premature in that question... I cannot get it to boot, keeps bootlooping. I tried the 12b and 35b bootstacks.

Yes on your first question. I will look at the zip and see if anything would cause that. Are you wiping first then flashing the rom and then flash 35b bootstack and then reboot?

I wiped then flashed as I was already on the 35b bootstack. When that didn't work I just flashed the 35B bootstack and tried (didn;t work) then tried flashing the 12b boot stack... tonight I'll try the wipe, install, flash bootstack (35B) and see if that works.
Thank you! I appreciate your time!

Can you tot back to 10b or restore a 10b rom and use that backup efs Zip file by autoprime.
Then boot into twrp flash the efs backup restore it created then flash rom then 35b bootstack then reboot. I'm going to reflash the rom just to see if this happens to me.
Update: Reflashed just as I explained and the rom is booting just fine.
Hi all.
Could somebody explain ,
What's the meaning of this item? Please ??

Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
I tried flashing the 12b bootstack first, then flashing the ROM, then it tried to reboot so I powered it down then flanshed the 35b bootstack and that didn't work.
I don't have a 12b ROM backup or tot of 12b..
Sorry for the issues..

Efs info: I met you halfway you can Google about the bootstack.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/efs-lg-g3-efs-backup-restore-t2907329
OK, I found the system image/modem image and boot images and flash program for them from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56100153&postcount=1 going to try that today.
once I install these images, and then backup the efs, do I need to boot into the 12b system first or can I just wipe again, restore the efs backup I created then install Prime / 35B Bootstack and reboot?

You can also go back to 10b via kdz. Here's a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/guide-flash-to-stock-10b-kdz-method-t2928140 to download the file and the software to use to go back to stock 10b. Then you would root again and install twrp and flash Lg g3 backup and restore zip from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/efs-lg-g3-efs-backup-restore-t2907329 It will create the 10b restore zip for you.
Boot into twrp flash 10b restore zip you created then flash rom and dont reboot flash 35 bootstack and then reboot the rom.

Yes,
Boot into the system to make sure everything is working then reboot into twrp then do your 12b efs backup and then wipe and flash the 10b restore zip/rom/35b bootstack and reboot.

Thank you! I have it setup and will try this method tonight or tomorrow.
Thank you for all you responses and input. It is appreciated!!
I gotta say thank you SO much for this! Never thought I was going to be able to run a non-Verizon based stock ROM or 5.0 UX with working 4G. Had tried countless hours with Cloudy and Fulmics and could never get it to stick through the first reboot. I was on XDABBEB's 47A stock based ROM and figured I would try flashing before messing with TOT and all that (more of a weekend thing) and all I had to do was wipe system, data and caches, flashed ROM zip then 35b bootstack right after (without leaving recovery) and everything was good to go. Didn't have to set APN's or do an EFS restore or anything. I do have the little roaming "R" above the signal bars, but that's merely cosmetic. YOU! DAH! MAN!
Edit: Just gave you the remainder of my "thanks" for the day :good::laugh::good: Sorry that's all I have to offer for now

Glad its working for you. Thanks for the update and yeah the instructions maybe just used as a fallback if your having issues or if anyone else is.
Thanks THEbigSWEEN! I've been trying everything suggested and still could not get it to boot.
I installed XDABBEB's 47A / wiped / installed this one and its is working.. Complete with 4g.. Still have the little r but I'm ok with that for now..
Only issue is it says 3minit is out of date and will not let me get into settings..
So not sure if a reboot or something else I installed caused this little hiccup, also usually on wifi so probably didn't notice immediately either, but I was still getting the 4G indicator but it wasn't connecting. After adding the APN everything was back to golden though. Easy way to get APN to show up for anyone who doesn't know, if you switch network mode to GSM and wait 5-10 seconds the option will show up.
As for the 3minit out of date error I don't recall seeing that or having any issues switching between a few of them, but shortly afterwards I switched to the circle battery from G3 Tweaksbox. Maybe it was a certain one or category you were selecting?
Edit: Oh, and glad you were able to get it to boot following the same course I took! Everyone should be able to enjoy some fully functional 5.0 UX goodness!

I ended up having to put in the APN as well. Thanks for the advise on that!
All is well at this point. The 3minit thing is still occurring but it's a minor thing. can't see anything else that is not working right at this point.
