I bought a pre-owned g3 that was rooted already. I don't know how but in the meantime of me getting it it was updated to lollipop. When I got it I tried to root it. My pc can't find the driver I tried everything and along the way got a error that android security on 5.0 and newer won't allow it?
I went into twrp recovery and erased everything until it went into a loop of lg start page. Previous owner sent sd to I flashed back to previous update on twrp.
This is what I have now
ver 4.4.4
baseband unknown
kernel 3.4.0=g819e680
bliss version 4.4.4.002
bliss stalk rom
I have had rooted phones all the way back to htc thunderbolt so this all isn't new to me, but I have never seen being able to go backwards like this with an update.
I don't know where to go from here. It is rooted per root checker but does not seem as fast as the un rooted lollipop I used the last few days. Since this phone is new to me any help this girl can get would be GREATLY appreciated. Please please please help
Thanks in advance.

there are some drivers here. try and get it recognized so you can flash back to stock. cant really move forward until you get rid off all that mess.
^ What @bweN diorD said. Does sound like an awful mess and you need to get back to 100% stock and go from there.

First, with your phone connected to your pc open the device manager. If there is anything that looks like an android device uninstall it. Disconnect your phone and Try something like USB deview (google it) and uninstall anything that looks like an LG driver then install the drivers again.

I am using the cord that came with this phone. Not sure if it is original or not.
I was able to flash a newer rom on to this phone seems to be working for now. I don't know what kind of mess I have as others have stated but unless I can figure out how to get back to the lollipop upgraded unrooted spot I have to make something work if that makes sense.
Honestly I wouldn't have updated it to lollipop but it came already updated. Thats when it all started.
I do appreciate all help though I might need to take this one to someone to get help I guess.

Thanks I am trying this
When you install the latest drivers (2.20 for Verizon LG G3), once you plug the phone in, it could take up to 10 minutes for the drivers to finish installing.

I have a Galaxy Note i717 from AT&T that I rooted. Worked great.
Yesterday I upgraded to ICS via Kies. Worked great.
Then I proceeded to root it again using odin.
Unfortunately even after all the things done it now will not boot up at all.
All I get is the S a m s u n g logo. I can put it into boot mode and the computer see's it but nothing more.
If anyone can point me to any rom/bootloader/ etc. I would be most grateful.
Or just let me know what to do and where to get roms. I did search and there are many for the i700.
I guess I need a bootloader and rom right?
Sorry folks. Point me somewhere else will have to get another phone.
T h a n k s ...
Others would tell you to look in the dev section for the stock rom (its usually called something like "in case of brick) I've had issues issues getting it to work but Im certain it was user error as to why it didn't work for me. But another option that I think could work would be to get your phone into download mode and run the ics upgrade thru kies again. You'll lose everything in your phone but I think it'll get your phone up and running again. But before you do any other that...did you make a nandroid back of? Or have you downloaded any roms to your phone because if you did you can just enter cwm and reflash any rom you may have or just flash your backup, backups are so important when doing these sort of things, saves a lot of head aches.
Edit: after reading your post again it says your phone messed up after rooting, try and re run the root file thru Odin, I kinda sorta remember reading something similar to this were people had issue trying to root. I'll try and find the thread.

this happened due to rooting with the Gingerbread method...so using Nash reply run/reinstall your Official ICS...and to root....
see My Links in red in my signature...go the GNote Super page....you should see what is being used to root the Official ICS...I used it and lots others, there prob more methods out there, but I found this is the easiest and more proven method....
Cant miss the info on GNote page regarding Rooting.
so to recap...since your believe you have bricked your phone...
use the method Nash replied to you with...put into download mode....run the official ics, you will need the model, serial number of your phone...
let us know how it works out for you...

And once you're rooted and all fixed up, enter cwm and create a backup. These are great because no matter what you do to your phone as long as you can enter cwm you'll always be able to fix your phone via backup.

I wanted to mention, I'm not sure how you updated thru kies originally (legit update or emergency update) the method you'll be using this time (if you choose to fix thru kies) is the more or less emergency method. I wanted to mention this because when your in download mode and connect your phone to your PC and run kies, kies will try to connect to your device but will time out over time...it took me 2 days of Q and A before I realized kies won't connect with phone in download mode, but that's OK. Once phone is connected click tools/firmware upgrade and initialization, and as bigjoe said youll than need to input model and serial numbers (all caps) than click OK. You'll have a few prompts afterwards but yo basically on your way to a running phone.

Brick = nothing at all happening on phone.
Samsung logo = bad flash (corrupt file used)
Brick can sometimes be revived with a JTAG device.
Samsung logo means re download file, re read instructions and relevent thread, and redo your work.
Don't be too anxious -you will fix it.
I suggest using Kies upgrade > emerency firmware method. Download mode is the key.

Thanks all for the replies.
I was able to go to DEV Section and get the full AT&T ICS Rom. Used ODIN to get it back to factory ICS.
Then (with great care ) re-rooted it using ICS root stuff. I have it all in case anyone else needs this route. Else follow instructions above.
Thanks all. I think for now ICS is where this will stay. In fact Gingerbread was good enough except for not being able to use Chrome.

Hi,
I have a Pantech Flex P8010. I never thought it would be updated to jb. So I rooted it. Removed all bloated applications from it. Changed the recovery to CWM. I haven't taken any back up before the bloat removal. All I have is the cwm backup of the debloated version.
Now Pantech have released the jb ota. Oh well I never knew that this was going to happen ever.
I have a couple of questions.
Is there any way to update the phone to jb with the root privilege?
Is there any way to return to complete stock?
Will the recovery and bootloader image available in the forums be useful?
Any help would be really great help.
Thanks a lot.
hi
can someone pls upload or send me a stock rom for the flex i lose my backup when my sister mess with my computer
I think we should wait. You can make back up even now if your device is bootable..
What recovery u use? Clockworkmod?

As it sits right now unfortunately we have no complete stock image to put back on the phone in order to restore it to a pure factory state. The factory restore on the phone does not affect the recovery only the data. In as much OTA updates are not available at this time and probably never since this phone is getting older. If you attempt to install the OTA update and get caught in the CWM bootloop simply start the phone in fastboot mode (I believe it is power + the volume down key on this phone) and choose the reboot option it will then skip the recovery and start the phone normally. Sorry I don't have any better answers for you. I'm hoping to land an HTC One in the near future...

I also accidentally removed 1 too many of the at&t apps from my Pantech Flex using Titanium Backup. I am already running the 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update.
Would anyone out there be willing to use Titanium Backup to create 'backups' of the stock Pantech AT&T apps for us to recover with?
I'd be willing to pay for the Titanium Backup app as well as a bit for the time and effort.
Thanks!

Ok, thank you very much. Still, I have some questions if you don't mind. First I have to install CWM on my Flex, or is it already in my phone? If there is a tutorial that wil be nice, if not i will find somehow how to do it. I am just new to Android, my last phone was a Symbian one (Nokia C7) and it was pretty easy to install a new firmware on that one.

yea thanks ill check that out. I'm used to devices with locked bootloaders and honestly, i prefer that. it's so easy to experient because worst case if you mess up just flash a .sbf file and you're fine. I get a kick out of LG G3 users and their petition for an unlock code lmao. Odin is neat but I'm not going to ever have to mess with it hoopefully
I don't recommend following the galaxys2root lead.
Kies and ODIN are your only options for flashing stock distribution to the i777 on a windows machine.
I see that you're trying to avoid ODIN, but it's the easier way to solve your current dilemma. As stated, Kies can be finnicky.
The stock UCMD8 4.1.2 distribution can be found in the i777 download repository (see sig), and ODIN is how we get folks back on track (for directions, see sig).
Happy Flashing

Wow you remind me of someone from the droid x realm. and his phone isn't with me. Btw i dual boot win8.1 and linux but kies is only available on windows so that's the only reason i was running it at the time of trying this. Honestly, i'm not that worried about it since apparently his problem was fixed. He couldn't send or receive MMS so i done standard trouble shooting and I think what finally got it fixed was wiping cache with sim out of it reinstalling sim and then dumping cache again. Thanks again though guys and i'll refer to the links if he has anymore problems.
Hey friends, I am very new to the rooting scene. I have a at&t htc m8 and i made the mistake of trying to root the fast and easy way. I followed a guide by a user names Unlocker. I would post the link but am unable to at this current time because i am new here
That has it's readers use hasoon2000's all in one toolkit. Well I think I screwed up in that process. when my phone was off and charging , the screen would briefly flash the TWRP ui with their lock screen. So naturally I freaked out tried my best to unroot the damn thing by following a guide created by the same guy after he got many complaints of issues
Naturally I had problems with this aswell. Now where i'm at, at this current moment is
**tampered** ***unlocked**
I successfully (i think) removed super su and did my best to get back to stock firmware. well I failed at that aswell. I still have TWRP on my phone and managed to get security turned back on.
What I am asking is for any references or maybe even some fresh help on how i can either get my phone back to stock firmware so i can take the OTA updates and be on my merry way or maybe reccomend a custom rom I can use that has the new lolipop software.
Now i was looking to update my TWRP but I am unable to locate an AT&T verison. I see sprint , verizon, and GSM. I feel pretty helpless right now but if i can get some instruction I know I will be able to figure this out.
I'm still really new to this also, but I'll try my best (just take everything I say w/ a grain of salt...):

Do you mean that you'd successfully done whatever you were doing and this was happening in normal use? AFAIK it is normal for the the screen to power off during long-running TWRP actions, and power button wakes it up.

Which firmware do you have on it now? Do you have ADB installed? If so, it might be helpful if you post the output of the command
Code:
fastboot getvar all
. If not, I think you'll need ADB and fastboot to help recover.

AT&T uses GSM. The GSM version should be correct. Depending on the firmware you have installed, specific versions of twrp may not work. In my case, twrp 2.8.4.0 wouldn't work on AT&T's stock 4.4.2 firmware, but would on the 4.4.4 firmware.
EDIT: Did you make a TWRP backup before attempting these changes? Depending on the state of your firmware, restoring that might be enough to fix things.
AT&T Stock 4.4.4 RUU
This should solve your problem, if you can achieve s-off again:

All the panic is for nothing. Its normal for the TWRP screen to appear for a brief moment when the device is powered off, and you connect the charger. At least on older versions of TWPR (and the version installed by Hasoon's toolkit is quite old).

The TWRP version you want is the GSM. All versions of the M8 are essentially the same (and considered "GSM") except for the CDMA (Sprint & Verizon) and dual SIM variants.

What the OP is describing was a known bug, and happened when outside of recovery and while the phone was powered off (and while connecting the charger).
Wow thank you for fast responses!
So from my understanding I have a outdated TWRP version. I suppose I need to read up on how to update this and also how to flash a new rom. I only rooted my phone so I could pair up my ps3 controller to my phone so I can play games on it. I regret doing it now to be honest because I have modded my 3ds to play the same games i was using on my phone
I would love to be on the lolipop update that launched yesterday I believe. Should I stick to a rooted rom or just flash a stock version? Can anyone recommend a good lolipop root that has some tweaks for battery life and overall performance?

Just get the latest version of TWRP from their website. As you are asking what version (CDMA vs. GSM) it sounds like you are already getting there.
It sounds like you have the version of TWRP that was installed by the toolkit. That version is many months old. But its a minor bug, anyway. How often do you charge the phone with it powered off, anyway. I also don't think you can do anything in TWRP in this condition (if a security risk is your concern). The TWRP appears for a split second, and that's it.

Lollipop didn't launch for AT&T, its just a long-delayed 4.4.4 update for us. To update to 4.4.4, either return to stock ROM and stock recovery to get the OTA, or relock the bootloader and run the official RUU.
Lollipop (5.0) started to roll out for some Euro CIDs, and has been out for US Dev Edition for a while. But you can't get to Sense Lollipop unless you s-off (or until AT&T releases it).

Download the " software upgrade assistant tool " from verizon website. Install and run it on your computer. Then connect your phone to computer and check for software update in the downloaded software

Or go to Settings->System Updates->Check for new system update.
Remember, we're talking specifically about the Verizon LG G3 (VS985) so if you have a different phone (AT&T, overseas, etc), then it's a different story there.
Also, these get sent out in batches, possibly based on your IMEI number, so if you haven't received it yet, you need to be patient. I got mine around 1 pm EST yesterday.
So far, so good. I'm about ready to turn off Greenify and SnapDragon BatteryGuru, but even at this point, I went to bed with 93% left on the battery. Woke up 6 hours later and it went down to 92%. Since going back to stock (from Jasmine ROM) in an unrooted state, I was still dropping 3% to 5% over the same period when going to bed. Upgrading to Marshmallow, still in an unrooted state and still running Greenify and BatteryGuru, I'm back to where I was with Jasmine ROM (almost). With Jasmine, I didn't drop 1% over night when it was sitting there unused, but definitely, Dozer mode seems to work as advertised.
So at this point, my only gripe is with how they mount the external SD card now. Not sure why and I've searched to see if there's a way to override that, but so far, I haven't found anything. Makes it very difficult to remember (for me anyways) to go to /storage/3894-D900 but I'll keep digging.
Also, from what I understand, with the G3, you cannot make your external SD card "appear" to part of your internal memory which could be a good thing anyways since you have to reformat your SD Card to encrypt it. Plus, SD Cards are slower than internal memory and I'm using it to store pictures and music and backups, so no loss there for me.
Otherwise, so far, an excellent OTA. I must say again how I feel the G3 so far has been the best Android phone I've had yet. Definitely beats my RAZR HD I had previously, as well as my RAZR MAXX (but those were two of my favorite phones before this one).

@andy_zhang can't get the OTAs that way because he's not using a Verizon SIM, although trying to get it the first way probably won't work either, for the same reason.
@andy_zhang , you'll most likely have to wait for a KDZ if you don't want to flash a custom ROM.

I'm not sure I understand the question. I posted the 46A OTA file I got yesterday in the other thread you posted in. I'm sure as soon as someone is able to retrieve the KDZ it'll be posted here or in a new thread. Have you tried @xdabbeb 's stock 46A ROM?
A friend of mine did the update and has bunch of problems from what she told me. Can't call is one example.
Got Mine
Got Mine Yesterday afternoon. So far loving it. No problems and battery life is great. Also working fine with my LG Urbane Watch.

Im from india and i updated to 35b via software assistant tool... Im at work now but i ll let you know if its working for this update too..
Now, I might be crazy, but something I've noticed that I don't believe was there before when adb shelling in is using the TAB key to auto-complete file and directory names. That's something that is present in UNIX CLI shells but I had noticed it wasn't there in Android (at least in previous incarnations).
After this MM update, that works! Thank goodness. Makes navigating around those long directory names so much easier now with less typing and wear and tear on my fingers.

Nice! Thanks!
So far so good. I haven't performed a factory reset just to see if any issues would arise. The only issue I've had is the family base companion has force closed but I never used it and I was able to uninstall the app.
Only updated features I've noticed are:
UI update for the settings menu
Pressing the power button results in a new reboot UI
Time/Date header has a smaller font size
Animations much faster
Battery life is much better
A few new updates to system icons
Updated Dialer/Contacts UI
Speakerphone is louder
I'm sure there's more I'm missing but that's what I've noticed.
I also installed MM and so far love it.
I mentioned in another thread, had a problem with connecting to car via Bluetooth, resetting all device setting in the Factory reset menu fixed it nicely.
Love the G3 so far, great phone.

Verizon sofware assistant is not yet working for this update..
You can try another way but im not sure about it..
Download Lg mobile support tool and run it on your computer...
Connect your phone to PC and click on "option " tab which is in downloaded software.
In Option Menu click on update recovery....
It will start downloading the update but i cant confirm this update is of marshmallow or not.
Update size is 1678Mb
Make sure to backup personal data before updating.
PS- Do not uninstall verizon software assistant as it contains phone drivers which will help you to connect your phone to Lg Mobile Support software

It's normal and common behavior that at first it says there's an update and then says there's not. You just have to wait until they make the KDZ available for the tool to download.
Do the official tools usually work for you even without using a Verizon SIM card?
