I have a VZ LG G3 that I rooted using StumpRoot. I am trying to do the Verizon system update to Lollipop. It downloads it and then it reboots, but almost immediately it shows me error 0x1117008, and then just reboots again and tells me the update failed. It doesnt give me any other info. Currently my phone shows Android version 4.4.2 and software version VS98511C and shows the Software status as Modified. Is there a way to get Lollipop? Would I have to unroot first? (If so, what is the best way? SuperSU offers me that option). I appreciate any help. Thanks.

You will have to flash back to either stock 12b via KDZ or go back to 10b and upgrade that way. Once rooted, you cannot update to LP via the OTA. Unrooting won't fix it either as it has already been modified.
If you flash back to 12b via KDZ, it will still show your software as modified, but the OTA will take.
Then you can use the one-click root method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951) to root LP.

Thank you for the reply. How do I go back to 10b? Also, if I want to use the KDZ method, can it be done with a Linux machine?
Thanks.

Not sure about Linux. I believe it all has to be done via Windows if using the KDZ or TOT methods.
Here is the link to flash back via KDZ:

10b is great, and everything just works. I am not sure why any one wants to "upgrade" to 23c given Google has not fixed the memory leak issues, but if you want to, read on.
If you have rooted, you do not want to upgrade by OTA. OTA is patches to the unmodified stock firmware. It will fail if your phone is in anyway modified. Here is what you can do:
1. Install TWRP manager from Google Play.
2. From TWRP manager you can choose your phone model and download and install TWRP recovery.
3. Follow the instruction from this link to use TWRP to install the 23c
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/development/rom-rom-base-lp-upgrade-bump-t3051884
Jasmine ROM is basically stock with root, which is probably what you want.

i got my g3 in mail today. looks a great phone in hand. just make sure this is the proper thing i m going to do to flash some rom. current software build is 11c. it needs to downgrade to 10b with kdz method. stump root then. install twrp recovery with flashify. then i could pick any rom i like to flash? is there anything wrong or i missed? anything i need to take care during flashing rom?
thank you for the advice.
Sounds about right.
Unless you want to run plain stock for some reason, then don't use the kdz to downgrade. I downgraded using the stock 10b, rooted and then took each OTA making sure SU had keep root checked. I have a rooted stock 11C nandroid just in case I want it. Just a thought.

downgrading with the kdz method you'd still be able to update by flashing the stock rooted 11c & 12b and the appropriate modem.

Sure but you wouldn't be able to take an OTA which some people like to do. Plus, can you get the VoLTE update on the VZW model? Not sure.
Anyway, to not have to worry about flashing separate modems, it's not really a huge deal to downgrade with the stock files.
Either way works which is why Android rocks. Options!
My wife insisted on remaining stock on her VS985... Until the lolliplop update. She wants her kitkat back and I cannot find a way to do it yet. I have successfully rooted it but cannot get a custom recovery install to stick. I have tried the methods that I know for the kitkat version, to install philz and twrp and get an error message upon reboot. Has an exploit been figured out yet to downgrade from stock lollipop?
I use the kdz method to return to 10b stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/guide-flash-to-stock-10b-kdz-method-t2928140
After you are rooted http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906 and on 10b i use flashify to flash the twrp img. From there just find a nice stock KK rom for her.
This is just how i do things and find it fairly easy.
Or directly flash the 12B KDZ, use the new root script if you want her phone rooted and use Flashily from the Play Store to flash TWRP.

Thank you both!
The One Click Root works like a boss.
It worked effortlessly on my new phone.
I sticking with 12B rooted too, as it seems to be a good solid O/S.
I rooted without issue, I was stuck at installing twrp. I did get it to work, using autorec! Slapped twrp in, and romed out to jasmine 4. I hope that this helps others out down the road.
Okay here's my tale of woe..
I rooted my phone last year - but at some point - took an update and lost root.
Though the phone still displays the "custom" boot screen with the padlock.
I tried to take the Lollipop update through the OTA but it fails and I get the "laying on his back" failed Android dude...
The phone DID take the first update.
I have: wiped cache in recovery, wiped data and cache in download manager.
No luck.
I have tried loading the NC5 kernel back on (via Odin 3.09) - but that makes the phone 100% unstable...reboots every 3 minutes..no access to apps - they lock and reboot etc etc.
Loaded the NG6 kernel back on to re-stabilize the phone and tried to Kies the update.
Kies downloads the update then when it tries to apply it the phone boots into "download mode"
I have been advised to:
I had the same custom boot screen--even after unrooting. Tried using Triangle Away to reset the binary count, but the count was already at 0. So ultimately I had to re-flash the NC5 kernel via Odin to get things truly back to being recognized as stock.
Then updates started rolling in for NG6, then NK1. Finally the two-part update for Lollipop.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and - of course that doesn't work. NC5 won't let the phone run long enough to take an update..
It has been said:
Try to flash the OC1 with the pit file
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But I haven't found the stock OC1 file anywhere to even try and begin to get it loaded.
Honestly - I'm not even really concerned about rooting right now. I'd really just like to get the phone back to a stock configuration and kernel and lollipop.
Developer mode is enabled. Obviously both Kies and Odin talk to the phone with no problems.
Any ideas ?
Thanks, Dan
Get your phone to 4.4.2, use the verizon software upgrade assistant program preloaded on your phone to update. I had this exact same problem and that's how I got to 5.0.1
You WILL lose root. And there's no method to root 5.0 right now, and people have been saying that there might never be. You also won't be able to downgrade, or at least there's no method to do so at the moment, so you will be stuck with lollipop for a while, maybe forever.
Yes.
Maybe I need to clarify.
I do not care about root at this point. I just want to get the phone back to a stock state and take the Lollipop update.
I'm curious as to why I will never be able to update beyond Lollipop.
Doesn't matter I guess - the phone will have been replaced by then - but still...why ?
Thanks, Dan

I've downloaded (3) different 4.4.2 Firmwares.
FNK1
FNC5 (No Wipe)
FNG6 (No Wipe)
Any opinion on which one is best ?
Did you download these manually or OTA? When I re-flashed the NC5 kernel, I received NG6 then NK1 then the 2-part Lollipop updates all OTA back-to-back.

Hmm... I'm not sure if it makes a difference to download OTA instead of manually. I would think it's worth a shot flashing NC5 (if it will let you downgrade) and using the software update feature to update OTA the rest of the way.

Got it finally !
started out by flashing (FNG6 (No Wipe)) in Odin 3.09
That got me to regular boots with no "custom" screen showing the lock symbol.
Then I had to take OTA updates to FNK1 then the OTA preliminary Lollipop update then (OTA) finally Lollipop itself.
No root - but that's OK.
It took about an hour and a couple shutdowns to get things running smoothly but it's all good now.
Thanks everyone for their help.
Hey everyone,
I was able to root my LG G3 with the help of the XDA forms so I figured maybe someone could help me out here. I am running the STOCK Verizon Rom that came with the phone. I wanted to know if there is a customer kernal I can install to improve battery life and/or if anyone knows the good Tricker Mod settings to set up so the battery life improves, that would be helpful as well.
Thanks for the help everyone.

Besides using the root method @quadjacks linked to below, just wanted to make sure you know that in order to root 24B, you have to come from a string of at least two OTAs. In other words, if you at any time flashed the 23C KDZ, then after you take the 24B OTA, you won't be able to root the phone, at least that's our experience.
You will be able to root it (not using the one-click but the one @quadjacks links to) if you flash the 12B KDZ, then OTA to 23C, then OTA to 24B.

I'm aware of that, too - I posted the link to it, but I haven't had the inclination to flash it and try rooting after. I won't be surprised since the first method I mentioned in the previous message, flashing the 23C KDZ and taking the OTA, then trying to root, didn't work myself and several others that it won't work for me with flashing the 24B KDZ directly, but I'm just speculating. I'm sure I'll attempt it again when I have a need to reset to completely stock unrooted again unless by that time I'm in too much of a hurry to take another new OTA that may come and try to root that first.

I was able to root after flashing the 24B KDZ. The root.bat did not work (hung on the installing root part). But I was able to do option 2 and manually push the files and install root with one minor change. The first time I ran the Send_Command to push root it hung, I did a ctrl-C on it then ran it again right after and it went through. Then I did the send_command reboot and the phone rebooted and was rooted when it came up. I did this a couple of times and had the same results every time, first send_command would hang and I had to break out of it (ctrl-c) the send_commands after that worked fine. Not sure why that is but that is what worked for me. Just wanted to share in case anyone is having the same problem.
And then after rooting 24B, how to install TWRP??? I tried and got the Security Error message. Help would be appreciated.

It'll install TWRP v2.8.6.x and downgrade your bootloader, which you can then update TWRP to the latest from within the "old" version.

Need to check if I have the 24B...... and Thanks!!
I spent the greater part of the evening trying to root my LG G3 VS985 unsuccessfully, but I don't recall if it is the 24B. I got it off eBay to upgrade my current RazrHD which is hopelessly underpowered - but it is rooted, and didn't want to lose my unlimited data plan on VZW. Need to mark this thread for all the helpful comments.
The methods of rooting I tried were the One-Click, both the gui and the CLI script with similar results of hanging trying to "see" the device, I tried PurpleDrake, but I think it is for a different LG or android version, and there was one other method that I got from a link either here on XDA or another android forum, but all seemed to have the same problem - once you connect the phone, it initially tries to connect to the device, but never succeeds, just keeps you waiting for the root push to start, but it never does. I was using a Win-7 PC and laptop, switching back and forth to see if I could get one of them to work........ Of course, I have the developer option enabled and turned on the USB debugging. I really like this LG G3 and want to get this thing rooted!!
The other root method I tried was ioroot; I checked my folders. Further reading seems to indicate I may be SOL unless I want to wait for someone to figure it out; oh, yeah, and I tried towelroot as well, but it only tells me my device is not supported........I plan to try one more root method - stumproot, and see if it can bruteforce it. If not, will be a sadder day.......

Ok-Full specs on my LG G3 that I want to root....
Running android 5.0.1
Build: LRX21Y
Software Version: VS985 23C
Went back and looked at some of the info and it can be confusing; some root progs need certain version of android running, on a certain set of builds and proper software versions........ enough to make you want to start drinking...... Going to go back one more time and see what I can do to organize all this disparate info and make some more sense out of it. On the plus side, since I have the 32GB version/model, it has 3GB RAM which I confirmed, and even though I have a ton of junky bloat stuff running that I can't currently stop, the phone is running like a champ.

I apologize for the misinformation! I realized earlier after reading what some others had said that in all the testing I had done regarding 24B that I had actually NOT run autorec on 24B, or at least not *just* autorec. To fix your phone, download and flash JasmineROM 8.0. If you felt adventurous, all you really need out of the JasmineROM 8.0 zip is the bootloader (aboot.img) and possibly the kernel (boot.img) too. The changes to the bootloader and possibly the kernel too are what get rid of the security error with TWRP installed.
Hi,
Just bought a new LG G3. It has Android 4.4.2, Build version KVTL49L.VS98512B, Software version VS98512B.
I'd like to root it, and then install a custom ROM that will maintain root.
There are many root threads on this forum, but most appear not to work on my phone.
1. What is the best way to root 4.4.2? I assume I should not take an OTA upgrade?
2. Once rooted, can I install TWRP, and how?
3. Once those are done, what is the highest Android version custom ROM I can install that will maintain root?
Please don't say read the forum. I have, and it's total confusion.
Thanks in advance.
There are other ways, but in my personal opinion the easiest way to root is to install the Verizon LG drivers, reboot your Windows PC, connect the phone in Download mode using the original USB cable connected to a USB 2.0 port. It can take Windows up to 10 minutes to load the driver, the first time you connect in Download mode to a different USB 2.0 port. You can see the driver's loaded by looking for the phone in the Modem section of Device Manager. Use LG Flash Tool 2014 on Windows to flash the 10B KDZ (might as well get familiar with that process anyway), then use the Stump app available on XDA to root the phone in brute force mode, then use the TWRP Manager from the Play Store to install TWRP. Rooting and installing TWRP get progressively more complicated after 10B.
The stickied return to stock thread in the General section is what you want for more information about flashing a KDZ, and links to the KDZ.
The highest is 46A which is Marshmallow 6.0.

I ended up just using LG One Click Root and not changing anything. Running kitkat 4.4.2 rooted, and checked the root with Root checker.
I'll run the phone as is for a while, just to make sure everything works during the return window, and then maybe install the SkyDragon G3 VS985 Edition Version 6.0.2 if that would work? It looks like I can just flash that directly from my current build. or do I need to downgrade to 10B?

I'll run the phone as is for a while, just to make sure everything works during the return window, and then maybe install the SkyDragon G3 VS985 Edition Version 6.0.2 if that would work? It looks like I can just flash that directly from my current build. or do I need to downgrade to 10B?

If you have TWRP you can flash whatever you want.

There are other ways, but in my personal opinion the easiest way to root is to install the Verizon LG drivers, reboot your Windows PC, connect the phone in Download mode using the original USB cable connected to a USB 2.0 port. It can take Windows up to 10 minutes to load the driver, the first time you connect in Download mode to a different USB 2.0 port. You can see the driver's loaded by looking for the phone in the Modem section of Device Manager. Use LG Flash Tool 2014 on Windows to flash the 10B KDZ (might as well get familiar with that process anyway), then use the Stump app available on XDA to root the phone in brute force mode, then use the TWRP Manager from the Play Store to install TWRP. Rooting and installing TWRP get progressively more complicated after 10B.
The stickied return to stock thread in the General section is what you want for more information about flashing a KDZ, and links to the KDZ.
The highest is 46A which is Marshmallow 6.0.

Can I flash the 46A global kdz over stock verizon 35b?? Sorry If this question has been asked before, I just got this phone yesterday ( verizon g3 35b 5.1.1 ) and I have been poring over the xda forums ever since on all the different root methods and software versions, and at this point I am completely overwhelmed by the amount of information thats out there.
My main goal is to be on Marshmallow, rooted and twrpd. If you could point me in the right direction It would be highly appreciated

If you're referring to some 46A KDZ made for some other device than the VS985, then no. I'm not aware of the VS985 46A KDZ being available yet.

If you want to be rooted, then you don't want to bother flashing a KDZ anyway since both 35B and 46A can only flash the 35B KDZ (it won't let you downgrade further without the TOT method I already mentioned). For further information about the TOT method, you'd have to Google for it. Another way to get TWRP on 35B or 46A is in my signature below, titled "[VS985][35B][46A][TWRP]How to install TWRP on 35B or 46A".

I was reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/lg-g3-android-marshmallow-discussions-t3216143 and I remembered on the G pro I was able to flash other firmwares from other countries, I thought maybe that was the case here too.
I'm trying your alternate method now, after following all the steps I just reboot to recovery, wipe, then flash any rom I want?
update: I followed all the steps then when I went to boot into recovery thru adb, i got the secure boot error, and the phone will no longer boot up

I haven't heard of anyone flashing any for other variants on this phone.
