A friend of mibe wanted me to update my phone so i could have advanced calling. But its an update and do notwont to risk losing root and recovery or worst face brick. I would love to have this update so im hoping is there a work around. Is there a way to root the phone again if it does wipe it out. Is there a way to download it and have my custom recovery install it. Please and thank you
If you're already on 12b, you already have advanced calling. Otherwise, go here

It's like the second sticky down in the general section. Read, read, and read again before attempting to update your G3. Although it's pretty easy to fix if you mess something up, it's also pretty easy to softbrick.

The number at the end of the build number is 10B. You need to be on 12B or higher in order to use Advanced Calling. Also would have to enable it on your Verizon account. MIght be under "HD Calling".

If you're wanting to be rooted and update to 12B...
1. Root using Stump apk brute force method. Reboot.
2. Install SuperSU from Play Store, reboot, launch SuperSU, update binary, reboot again.
3. Install TWRP Manager from the Play Store, launch it and grant it root permissions.
4. Use TWRP Manager's option in the upper right corner to download and install the latest TWRP custom recovery for the VS985. It's already bump'd, I've verified.
5. Use the link @Johneedoe provided, download the 12B boot, modem and system.img files. Extract system.img from the system.zip.
6. There's a link in that first post, after all the download links to @autoprime 's Flash2 method. Use that through TWRP with the 12B img files you downloaded.

You can just take the OTA to 11c and then 12b. You won't lose root on the way.

I'm not positive what you want your end result to be, but if you want root and TWRP on any version of the stock ROM, the easiest method is to use the built in LG Backup to backup your user apps, user data and limited system data to your MicroSD card, move anything else you want to keep from your internal storage, flash the 10B TOT using the .DLL that's extracted from the 35B KDZ, root using the Stump app on XDA, put TWRP on with TWRP Manager from the Play Store, reboot to TWRP, wipe Cache, Dalvik/ART and Data, flash whatever ROM you want and appropriate Bootstack. Bootstacks are in @xdabbeb '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.
If you flashed a stock-based ROM, then you can use the built-in LG Backup to restore your backup from previously. Not much, if any (depending on what version of the stock ROM you come from, and what you flash) system data will be restored.
Sorry road warrior, you helped me a ton, don't know if you remember me, I had 5.1 but did an Ota to 6.0, I wanted to start fresh do I followed you and laser wolf, I downgraded to 10b,now when trying to follow laser wolf a

Sorry got cut off on the above, so when I downloaded the files and made flash folder for the files, on flash it came up error on system imaging, that's file read system 12B rar now when I changed the name by removing the number, as directed, I bricked on flashing. So it has to do with that file.??im at a loss. I thank you a ton for the downgrade to 10b tho.
---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------
And yes I'm rooted etc as direct with your downgrade.
---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------
I have since unbridled by returning to stock, which is 10b again. Just don't want to mess up again, so trying to figure out why that system file(System12B rar) cannot or will not work. If left alone, that files flashes as an error, if I change the name, by taking out the number(12B) it bricks.
Correct spell is killing me, after I bricked trying to flash I dug around xda and managed to replace to 10b exactly like laser wolf has in this post(his picture matches my phone exactly), my problem now is not the zipped files, the other files are the problem, there all suppose to go into a file named flash, however on the download the system file had system12b. rar... According to the direction it should read system12b I'm, and directions say rename to system.img,,thats what I changed the name of the file to and it bricked, if I leave it as downloaded it flashes error on system img, I don't want to trial and error as I'm new to flashing files etc. Was wandering if anyone else downloads those files and gets a file named system12b. rar instead of system12b. img , and if so what am I suppose to do. Again sorry roadway warrior for not posting in the proper place, however this was where people were trying to go from 10b to 12b...ang help is appreciated!!!!
I didn't read all that. Sorry. I guess I don't understand what the purpose of a 12B rar is. If you want to be on 12B, root and put TWRP on 10B, then wipe and flash a 12B-based ROM like JasmineROM I think v2 or v3, or SkyDragon - probably the same, v2 or so.
By your description it sounds like this is some more difficult method.
Ok, thanks mate, been driving me crazy because that particular file means changing the name etc, but I will try your way.... Greatly appreciated my friend... Thanx

so ive rooted and flashed twrp on here, and everything was good, so i go to install jasmine ROM, and it tells me to erase everything, which i did and i made sure not to check sd_ext or internal storage, and afterwards it erased litterally everything. all my files, so the rom was gone, and i went to recover my back up but that was gone too! now it sits at the lg screen with the light flashing. i can get into system recovery but nothing else. so i cant do the lgflash thing so thats off the table. no download mode or bootloader either. its practically a paperweight but i want to know if any of you guys would know if i can fix this or just send it in.

you could try putting the sd in your pc to put the rom back on it, then back and try flashing. if that fails, sounds like its toast.
i dont have one to begin with, but do you think if i used a mates phone with an sd card, and just download the rom i was gunna use, then put it in my phone, if that would work? seems like it in theory.

Yes use an sd card download the Rom onto the sd via pc then put it in your phone boot into twrp install via ext-sd you should have no problems

thank you so much for the help (; ill let you know if i succeed
I think you will be okay, maybe try LG Flashtool and usb flash back to stock if those don't work.
I got it. Put the Rom in sd and it worked perfect. Whooo
Whew!..congrats.:good:
For some reason I can't flash from recovery menu..failed to mount sd/card, unknown error 150...
Maybe your SD is formatted in a file system twrp doesn't recognize? I had to reformat my 64gb to fat. I used twrp's built-in advanced wipe function to change external SD file system to fat, others have used a pc-based tool from ridgecomp.
You end up with the couple GB maximum individual file size limit, but I just copied my 11c 2.8gb system.img onto it without any trouble.
Augh.. now I can't even root. I rooted via ioroot, then wanted to unroot so I could do the 11C OTA, but could not unroot via the way I practiced using LG flashtool using port 41. For some reason it would just stay at 0%(worked fine before) so I used Simply Unroot..SU said unrooted but I did not look at software status which now reads "modified".
Now I can't adb despite reinstalling lg drivers
I tried these 5 root methods
for Verizon VS985-11C
IOROOT= Phone reboots to a blank screen, pc says "no adb device found and phone does not show any recovery menu, just the android robot on his back with a red triangle.
STUMP= Phone says cant because of a patch?
TOWELROOT="Device not support"
PURPLEDRAKE=Same, no recovery menu despite hard button recovery(I wiped cache and did a factory reset via power button/vol down) That's the ONLY recovery menu I see. It is a different looking menu all white w/ grey boxes. It does not look like a normal recovery menu. So the 11C update must have changed that??
Where or where is my blue and red recovery menu?
ROOTTOOL= Same thing with the adb.
These root attempts are rebooting the phone into recovery when usb attached but then it just shows the robot, and pc then says "no adb device found" So I can't even side load it with command prompt.
Maybe after all this root is resolved, I will work on the sd card..lol..
I can't believe I can't even root and I am flagged as rooted!
Thanks for any help,

You might be on the 11C update. Try downgrading (there's a thread in here somewhere) to 10b and you should be solid. I don't know if those numbers are correct, but check your build number.
I'm having a similar issue. I was rooted and had TWRP installed. Verizon kept prompting to update and I accidentally hit update now. So my guess it's trying to get to the stock recovery and update; however TWRP is installed. How can I flash stock recovery via TWRP? I can't do anything and no matter if I reboot to system it's still redirecting to recovery to update I assume...HELP!!! I can't mount anything either!!!

Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/fix-stuck-custom-recovery-trying-ota-t2907508
And this check this for blocking an OTA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/psa-stop-taking-ota-updates-update-t2909412
I'm sorry, I did forget to say that the OTA from 10B to 11C was done because I thought I could just re-root
One odd thing. I am now not rooted, but "modified", so is that why I am able to still edit files on my sd-card. Kit-Kat blocked editing of files. At least I can edit. Bit if I format the card will it affect the edit thing?
Thank you
Gonna try your suggestions above

Never ever take an OTA if you're rooted. In the future, just get rid of the notification, and then come here. Better yet - after you root, disable updates entirely.
Also, another reason to not take an OTA is because often times there are anti-rollback code in them, just like there is almost always a root patch. The regular "usb back to stock" and all the current root methods don't work on 11C for that very reason, and you have to use the KDZ method instead. If you jump on an OTA too early and find out there isn't a way to get back to the previous version... you're stuck. That happened to tons of people on one of the Galaxys I heard, and it so happened that the patch was a very good one. I've heard that the people who took that OTA are still stuck with it.
For 11C, there were early reports of those that rooted, but did not Bump or edit the system, got lucky and sometimes kept root after the OTA. Have you used a root checker to confirm you don't have root? None of the root methods are going to work on 11C, but you might still have it. If you don't, or something else is messed up, you'll need to get back to 10B to fix it.
Edit: Also, you're going to want THIS thread, not the other two I posted!
I did unroot before ota.. the only way I could at that time, via simple root. I just wanted to get the OTA out of the way(dont know why)
I used root checker, says no root.. If I go back to 10B I will try KDZ; or can I use the LG flashtool and try again with that using port 41, the 10B .dll, and 10B TOT?
For now I will follow your link and do as instructed..
Thank you laura

Thank you soo much! It worked. 10B "Official"..

I do have couple questions. Should I format the sdcard? Its 64gigs(reading 58gigs), new and reads/writes well; But I am back to my original prob. I installed TWRP and it found my deodexed stock10b.zip but in recovery menu it's back to not seeing any zips at all. I don't think that formatting will help that but I can try if you think that might be it.

I forgot to actually answer your question.
No I was very careful to not change any system files. Its beyond my scope, as you can see..
This is such a cool phone. I had a droid 4 for two years and did not root..yah 2 years..because of the Que 0/0 root counter. But with this phone, there's no way I'm not rooting and just would like deodexed because I am under the impression the theming is easier / more flexible. Something about the file system structure being more compressed?

Awesome! And yes, the sd card needs to be reformatted as fat32 for TWRP to see it.
Now that you're back on 10B, you can get the 11C update again if you want using this. The 11C OTA already has a rooted, deodexed flashable zip.
I do have that exact Rom/zip on both internal and ext card. Is there a program in particular to format, or just any, and should I format via pc(hook up usb with Windows 7), or is there a good .apk app.
Also, is 64gigs in any way too much.
Could I go up to 128gigs provided I use fat32.
Should the allocation just stay default? It looks like I can go up to around 4 mbs. Is that a cache type thing.
Sorry I am bombarding all these questions. I love learning this stuff. Need a break from studying for comptia 801/802.
Last, where is the thank u button?
I have the Verizon LG G3 with build 12b installed (Was updated by the store when I purchased phone). Is there anyway to unlock the boot loader and root the device as is, or roll the device back to a previous build that is easily unlockable/rootable?
You should have posted in the q&a forum area.
Anyhow - if you want to root, and install a custom recovery (twrp), use the kdz method to get back to 10b:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56484240
Then from this forum area install the bump/twrp from autoprime, and make sure to either freeze system updates or rename the two LGDMSClient files in /system/app. The freeze or rename is so new ota don't get pushed onto your phone after you get the custom recovery (twrp). Otherwise you'll needed the solution in the "stuck in custom recovery" thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56061720
(It is handy to download the "stuck" zip onto your phone as a just-in-case. If you do get an ota, and your phone keeps booting to recovery, tell twrp to Install the zip to clear the ota files )
HTH!
I am trying that method now (actually before you replied) but the kdz file is taking for ever to download. Been running for 30 minutes and still showing 7 hours remaining. I have a really fast internet connection but that one file doesn't wanna download!

I think I am in love with you, JK.....seriously though thanks a bunch....downloading the Mega link now and it seems to be going MUCH faster.
Did it work for you? I tried to downgrade, when phone said 100% it rebooted. I had a dark screen.... Went to the Verizon store, was told it was hard bricked. Haven't tried rooting my replacement yet.
Early adopter, got my phone in July, used the original ioroot, never had to revert.
The kdz method has had quite a few people who succeeded, based on what I read, no idea why it went bad for you. If you are gun shy, understandable, post 2 of annoying duck's thread has a link for the tot approach, supposed to be a slightly more pita way but not too exotic. Key is to flash any existing g3 drivers on your PC, install the proper things used by the tot method.

0B. (in TWRP v2.7.0.1) choosing "Install", navigating to where you downloaded the TWRP v2.8.7.0 zip (probably in internal storage in the Download folder), and choosing to flash the zip.
1. Download my ROM from my section on Android File Host at https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=32160. I use ADM "Advanced Download Manager" from the Play Store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dv.adm&hl=en, especially for downloading larger files like ROMs.
2. Check the MD5 Hash of the ROM zip:
2A. Copy (to the clipboard) the MD5 hash that I have in the filename of the ROM zip you downloaded in step 1 above.
2B. Install @scary alien 's "AFV File Verifier for Android" from the Play Store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sa.afvx&hl=en.
2C. Run the AFV app.
2D. Choose "Input checksum for comparison".
2E. Paste the MD5 hash previously copied to the clipboard in step 2A above.
2F. Choose "Select File".
2G. Navigate to where you have the ROM zip.
2H. Long-press on the ROM zip and choose "Calc MD5 Checksum".
2I. When it's done calculating the MD5 hash of the ROM zip, it'll automatically compare it to the MD5 hash you pasted in step 2E above.
If the hashes match, the downloaded ROM zip is non-corrupt. If the hashes don't match, you have to re-download the ROM zip.
3. Optionally download one or more of my debloat zip files in the third post below. If you don't flash my "no OTA" debloat zip, then don't take any OTAs you get offered if there are ever any more, or you might get soft bricked, which I won't go into recovering from here.
4. (Not needed for 24A KitKat 4.4.2 pre-rooted ROM) Download the latest non-beta SuperSU zip from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu (XDA thread with this link at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053) or the latest Beta version from a link in @Chainfire 's thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133.
5. Copy/move anything you want to keep from internal storage like the files you downloaded in the previous sections.
6. I strongly suggest wiping everything from TWRP (Data, Cache, System, Dalvik and Internal Storage). Wiping all of these things, especially if you use my debloat zip(s) will clear up garbage/folders that were left behind by previous bloat.
7. Flash my ROM.
8. (Not needed for 24A KitKat 4.4.2 pre-rooted ROM) Flash SuperSU.zip (downloaded in step 4 above). This step is VERY IMPORTANT on 35A Lollipop 5.0.2 and above if you want to get back into custom recovery without having to re-flash a stock ROM and go through the whole process again.
9. Optionally flash one or more of my debloat zip files. If you don't flash my "no OTA" debloat zip, then don't take any OTAs you get offered if there are ever any more, or you might get soft bricked, which I won't go into recovering from here.
Flashing the debloat zip(s) before the first boot of the ROM will give the advantage of never having the data/cache entries or internal storage folders for the debloated apps created, the latter is why I recommend a wipe of internal storage.
In order to get back into TWRP/custom recovery from rooted Lollipop 35A 5.0.2 or above ROMs (not needed for 24A KitKat 4.4.2 pre-rooted ROM):
1. Download the corresponding "aboot only" (aboot is the bootloader) found in the same place to download as my ROM zip. Corresponding means if you installed the latest 36B VK810 stock ROM, then download the 36B VK810 aboot zip file.
2. Download the 4.2.2 aboot package from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54533937&postcount=2
Credit and thanks @paperWastage !
The download link is about three quarters down in that second post.
3. Move this aboot.4.2.2.img file into the top of the internal storage (meaning, not in a folder).
4. In Terminal Emulator type (make sure no typos, or can copy/paste to be sure):
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/aboot.4.2.2.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
5. You can now reboot into recovery via your preferred method.
6. Once you're finished in TWRP, you need to re-flash the newer aboot zip downloaded in step 1 above. If you forget, the ROM won't boot. You should be able to long-press the power button to force the device off, then use the manual method to get back into TWRP mentioned in step 22 in the previous section above. Re-flash the newer aboot zip, then reboot from TWRP and the ROM will boot.
You can alternatively dirty flash my ROM zip instead of just the aboot. You'd have to re-flash SuperSU.zip, any debloat zips and Xposed if you had before, too.

LG G Pad 8.3 & Verizon LG G3 DEBLOAT SCRIPTS - updated 4-6-2016
These will work with both the VK810 Verizon LG G Pad 8.3 35A through 36B, and VS985 Verizon LG G3 23C up through 47A. They will NOT work on KitKat for debloating apps yet, they will work for various other non-app files I debloat. I'm working on updating them.
Again, thanks to @hsbadr for giving me permission to kang "anything I want" for this use.
Thanks to @abced123 for figuring out the root/sbin/lge_fota file is what was still allowing OTAs even after LGFOTA.apk was removed.
Thanks to @alfadon for making me aware of the two additional files that needed removed (at least on the VS985) in order to stop OTAs.
Thanks to @xdabbeb for his VS985 v2.0 ROM, with which I made a comparison to find things I could still debloat that I hadn't yet. If he didn't already figure out what we could lose without loss of functionality, this wouldn't have been possible.
INSTRUCTIONS: Backup in TWRP or read list of files deleted and make sure you don't mind, first. Debloat scripts that you can flash in TWRP after flashing the ROM and SuperSU.zip are located in my debloat script section on Android File Host.
@joshua70448 was kind enough to make an online tool to automate making custom debloat zips according to what a user selects to debloat:
joshua70448 said:
I put together an online tool that lets you pick exactly which files to remove in a debloat script and builds the flashable ZIP and MD5 files for you (as well as a full list of deleted files). Check it out at LG G3 VS985 (Verizon) and G Pad 8.3 VK810 (Verizon) debloat generator.

Please thank him at his original post here and take note of his other Android tools in his signature: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66192766&postcount=238.
Note that these are most effective if flashed before booting the ROM for the first time, or after a data/cache/Dalvik/internal storage wipe since the data, etc for them are built on first boot but if you flash the debloat script(s) before booting the ROM, then it never gets a chance to create the data and cache for them.
That said, it's completely fine to flash them any time.
Which package removes what (additionally there is a "all" zip that removes all of these EXCEPT it still has OTA and doesn't remove the apps affected by Xposed - you'll need to flash the "no OTA" zip separately). I remove all except for OTA, so I'm aware when OTAs arrive if I don't see notice about it here first, and so I can capture the OTA files. ):

They are virtually identical to the separate packages listed above for which debloat script removes what, with the only two exceptions being self-explanatory.
Enjoy!

Hi! I added some preliminary info in the OP. Thanks for asking!
Looking forward to it, thank so much for taking this on. My poor G Pad had been feeling neglected for far too long since my Nexus 6 gets all the ROM love

You're welcome! I was doing some preliminary work before CleanROM was released to release something like this for 24A but I didn't want to bother duplicating the effort once it was released. There's others who are trying quietly to give our tablet more love than I can give it.

Sorry for the questions and thanks a lot for making this rom happen for us. I am using the clean rom right now and the TWRP you mention above, do I just flash the rom and then Supersu and I will have rooted stock lollipop correct? Then I would need to follow the directions in your 4.22 aboot image (which I am pretty sure I already did when I installed TWRP the first time)..again thanks for your hard work..

No problem. Just flash the ROM and SuperSU, and yes you'll have rooted stock lollipop.
You don't need to follow the directions regarding the 4.2.2 aboot image unless you want to get back into TWRP. But if flash the 4.2.2 aboot.img, you won't be able to boot the ROM, only TWRP. You can do it, to make a backup, to flash something else like Xposed Alpha for Lollipop, etc (unsupported by me), then you'll have to flash the 35A_08 aboot.img zip file I also provide from TWRP so that you can boot the ROM again.
I'll try to figure out a way to make this all clearer.
Thanks for the fast replies, you are so damn helpful I really appreciate it. Crap should I do a factory reset from TWRP before flashing this lol..you knew one more question was coming lol

Yes wipe system, data, cache and Dalvik before flashing. Just remember to flash the SuperSU.zip after.

You need to flash the 35A_08 aboot zip file I provided in the same place as the ROM download on AFH in order to boot the ROM. The 4.2.2 aboot is only for getting into custom recovery. Once you flash the ROM, the *only* reason for re-flashing the 4.2.2 aboot is to get into custom recovery. But then you need to reflash the 35A_08 5.0.2 aboot in order to boot back into the ROM.
Never mind *****es, did a factory reset and it went to TWRP and I did the update exactly like roirraW "edor" ehT instructed in his OP and I am all set with the new rooted Lollipop rom and TWRP Nice work brother....
---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------
Yup I just didn't realize I wasn't going to automatically go into TWRP after flashing the 4.2.2 aboot image, once I got in I applied the 35A_08 aboot zip and all is well...
I didn't think this warranted a development thread at this point, Mods may disagree and move it. Since a few people, myself included, need some TouchWiz features and want something closer to a stock rom than Jasmine but debloated, deodexed with the Verizon wifi tether provisioning disabled, I threw this together. I'll try to answer any questions and fix any issues that pop up but I cant make any promises due to work and other projects. If I do move forward with anything I may try to port the stock Verizon Note 4/5, but that's getting ahead of myself.
Now the usual warning about your warranty being voided (as if any Note 3s are under warranty and you didn't void it rooting/flashing recovery) and me not being responsible for you bricking your device because I was stoned when I packaged this.
Download the rom here.
So far the only changes to the stock OF1 are:
Deodexed
Moderatly debloated
Wifi tether provisioning disabled
Start up sound disabled
Rooted*
Busybox added*
*SuperSu and Busybox packages are installed during rom installation.
A list of debloated files can be found here.
Coming soon
Some files were left because they are too integrated into TouchWiz. I don't want people confused by orphaned menu items or get FCs. Some stuff I left because people I know use them. If you want anything back you'll have to get it yourself for now, sorry. I'm open to suggestions on stuff to keep and stuff to remove, but I'll want a good description of their functions before I remove anything. I'm funny about not deleting stuff I don't know what it does.
For those looking for Xposed, I'm using the latest Snapdragon requestConcurrentGC version from here.
Flashing instructions are pretty simple. Boot to TWRP, make a backup, wipe system/data/dalvik/cache, flash the rom and reboot system.
All thanks go to the Yemen rooters and @beaups and @ryanbg for liberating our devices.
thanks i tried it out and its working great! however one of the apps i like is S-Note and you debloated it :/ along with galaxy store. which i cannot find a download source for either, and its needed to reinstall s-note. anyway its a crucial app for the S-pen launcher and s-pen features.
if you could share the apks or upload a full but deodexed superSu/busybox version of this Rom it'd be a real winner.
also im not sure if its just me but i noticed the task manager is a little strange and is missing the ram clear button. ill take a screen shot and upload later

All of the stock apps are in the system.img files in the Stock Odin tar bundles (available from sammobile.com for instance)
The only trick to getting them out of there is that those (system.img) image files are "sparse" ext4 files. The Android development environment has a tool called "simg2img" which allows you to create an uncompressed image file, which can then be mounted as an ext4 filesytem (loopback mount), and you can browse through there and copy out anything you want.
All of this is more convenient to do in a Linux environment (get yourself VirtualBox and install Ubuntu), but there are workarounds using Windows too, and there are even tutorials here on XDA on how to do this both ways. (Use searches for "sparse image" or "simg2img")
An even easier way is to simply pull them out of TWRP backup files of your rooted-stock ROMs; those "system.ext4.win00x" are just tar files. Heck, you could probably even use 7-zip for that.
You do make backups, right?
Ask your devs to do things that are interesting for the dev and difficult for almost any anybody else to do; not the simple stuff like "go get me some freely available files".
as some people like the stock image, you should do a non-debloated version, like beans did for 4.4.2 NC2/4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2787627 Its just a minor thing, and i can add those apps back in.
How would i enable the startup sound that you disabled?
I'm running the deodexed version of NC4 (with an NC2 bootloader) that i linked above, and finally want to upgrade. I'm assuming that safestrap (which is currently installed) isn't compatible, so do have a link for a version of TWRP that is compatible?
also, can i upgrade from NC4 (with an NC2 bootloader) directly? or is there a step in between that i should do first?

as some people like the stock image, you should do a non-debloated version, like beans did for 4.4.2 NC2/4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2787627 Its just a minor thing, and i can add those apps back in.
How would i enable the startup sound that you disabled?
I'm running the deodexed version of NC4 (with an NC2 bootloader) that i linked above, and finally want to upgrade. I'm assuming that safestrap (which is currently installed) isn't compatible, so do have a link for a version of TWRP that is compatible?

How did you bootloader unlock after rooted? Were you able to install custom recovery? If so, do you mind sharing how you did that as well?
Thank you!!

Problems with data
I appreciate all of your hard work. I do have a question though. Every single 5.0 and newer rom I have tried I have problems getting my data to work reliably. I get 4G after reboot but as soon as I send/receive a SMS message it reverts to 3g until the next reboot. This was a clean install and I've also tried reinstalling sim, done factory reset, cleared all data, everything under the sun I can think of. Nobody else seems to have this problem. Any ideas? Other than that this is exactly what I'm looking for.
May I ask somebody create a .tar version to use with odin.
I has no custom recovery .
Tried peazip software to convert .zip to .tar but odin always hangs when i use file
Long time first boot. thoght i made a brick Thanks mate
Quick question. I have kit Kat 4.4.2 with safe strap on mine. How would I be able to upgrade to this?

I am also looking for advice. My Note 3 is in a similar position with NC2 and Baja ROM in the stock slot of safestrap.
Does anyone have one or the other? Either a full twrp backup of stock/untouched system/boot/(maybe)data, or all of the img's extracted from a kdz? I need to restore stock, but I can't as I don't have access to a pc to use the lg up software, and I don't have any backups. Did the bootloader unlock and flashed twrp, but after flashing the no-verity and supersu zips, I can only boot up to an "encryption unsuccessful" screen, with a "reset phone" button that just takes me back to twrp.
hi i just made an stock zip it works for me im also on metro

i just made an stock zip it works for me im also on metro.
I extracted for the kdz and then modded the update script to lineage.
I take no credit for any of it just hopes it helps someone.
I was on lineage and used this to revert to stock so I'm guessing it works.
but like anything on this site try at own risk.
message me and ill try to see how I can upload it

I forgot I even made this thread. I actually ended up buying a cheapo Windows 10 tablet on Amazon and used that to flash the KDZ. So My phone is good now. Still, I'm sure I'm not the only one running into the issue of needing to get to stock without the use of a Windows machine, so feel free to upload/link whatever you have for anyone else that might stumble upon this tread.

awesome I'm going to give this a shot because as soon as Lineage updates for fast charging and nfc and the minor glitches here and there I want to be on the stock rom rooted with Magisk and ill remove the bloatware myself on the stock. But Lgup nor Lg Bridge detect my phone, lgup does say something in the com part but when selected says please select a compatible device or something of that nature so Ill try this flash this with TWRP and hope it does the job p.s. I also used uppercut program too it as well didn't work for my phone
Please let me know if it works for you also it will look like it gets stuck u just got to be patient until it says done. Used it quite a few times instead of the whole computer route.

I have completed the process and it indeed worked like a charm, I am now back on stock rom, just let the twrp do it's thing and it will be done. It looks like it hangs up but just let it do it's thing, I went and smoked a cigg came back and twrp said it was done, WIPE THE DEV when booting for first time it's going to take some time again let it do it's thing it will turn on, thank you so much for this, this should be a recommend post for the top, I wonder if you can make backups for other model's tmobile boost what ever...
You will loose root, you will loose TWRP, they are simple go to this post to do re root or to just put on TWRP, https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-twrp-v3-lg-stylo-3-plus-t3649621
Just FYI, you do NOT need to do anything to your encrypted data partition before flashing Magisk. I restored my phone back to stock(using LGUP) and when I flashed twrp, I did NOT swipe to make changes to system, and I didn't touch the data partition at all. I simply flashed the Magisk zip and rebooted. Works great. I want to make a TWRP backup before trying stuff like xposed, but I'm still a bit nervous about trying to make the backup with the encrypted data or the read-only system, especially if I need to actually restore it. Decrypting/wiping the data partition is what completely borked my phone the first time around and I don't have access to Windows anymore to use LGUP again. Maybe I should just leave well-enough alone at this point. It's been a million years since I've used xposed and I don't even know if there's anything in there I'd want.

You can always flash back to stock using TWRP with the link provided above if someone something goes wacked, I can't use LGUP it does not detect my phone so this was a easier solution for me instead of using a pc you can do it from your phone so long as it's MP450 version

Did you use UPPERCUT with LGUP? I started right out that way and it had no trouble detecting and flashing my phone. I installed the lg drivers, installed LGUP, plugged in the phone and ran uppercut.exe. From taking the computer out of the box, to flashing the phone, was like 10 minutes. Packed up the computer and returned it at the UPS store an hour later. And I'm using the same phone as you, so I don't see why it shouldn't work. Although if the TWRP backup works, that's far more convenient anyway, so it's kind of a moot point. Still, it would be good to have access to LGUP in the future, just in case you somehow get to a point where the twrp backup can't save you.

I did use UPPERCUT with no luck, I even re updated my drivers and ran it with no luck even right clicking run as admin with no luck, I'm not sure why, lgup does say there is a device but says not compatible

I vaguely remember LGUP telling me my device was not compatible. I was able to ignore that and flash anyway. I also had to use the upgrade option, instead of the refurbish option, and then manually do a factory reset before being able to fully boot the phone.

i would do that but no option u have retry and cancel when opening, but it will work on stock when I re flashed the phone back to stock it will bring it up and the program will open up
Other variants are possible.

Fingerprint broken is a known problem when reverting to stock from lineage
Someone has found a solution though,
this is from the lineage post

["Well luckily, I remembered the fix. And I remembered why I made a complete twrp backup of the lineage install before going back to stock. I made a backup of my fully configued stock, wiped everything but internal storage(obviously)and restored the lineage backup. Booted in, deleted all of the registered prints and the pin, then rebooted(back into lineage to make sure everything sticks). Then just back into twrp, wipe again, restore my stock backup. Booted in once, then rebooted once for good measure. Added a pin and a few fingerprints and it works as it should now. I don't remember which phone it was(maybe my Note 4), but it was always very important to delete your prints/pins before wiping/flashing/restoring to any other rom, or even just an backup. Not sure what happened if you no longer have a backup of lineage where you registered prints. Maybe install/setup a fresh lineage, add prints and a pin, then delete them all, then revert/restore to stock?" ]
i did not find this just letting you know a solution i take no credit for this.
can someone reupload the stock flashable zip for metro?
