Hey guys so Im just asking for a little help.I have the Lg optimus p769 Im having issues on where to go with my device.I currently have it rooted but It is running V10g In other words I have not been able to upgrade to jellybean.So my problem is that I cant upgrade I keep getting an android error and the reason this is happening ....at least the reason I think from what I have read, is that I have deleted and modified factory apps. Im just having a hard time being able to figure out what to do to upgrade to jellybean. Id love some help
Thanks !!!
If I fully understand, you are trying receive the OTA upgrade. If so, it's true, it will fail more likely due to rom modifications/app deletions/etc.
I think the easiest way to get JB now is through offline flashing, if you flash stock ICS the OTA will succeed. But you may flash JB directly.
If you modified system apps, then you are rooted...I'm assuming you have probably installed CWM as a recovery...
Follow this link and choose from any of the jellybean backups that have been made (make sure you are looking under the P769 section)
Copy the backup file you downloaded into your clockwork > backup folder, boot into recovery, wipe and restore backup from external SD card.
This will update your device to whichever version of JB you downloaded. Remember that this will wipe your device, so I recommend backing up anything you want to keep for later

Is anyone out there using Xposed Framework on fully stock software?
Wondering if it's usable. I'm on 23C.

You'll have to have a custom recovery installed in order to install Xposed - you can't install it any other way on Lollipop.
There's a thread somewhere in the non-variant G3 sections for "autorec TWRP", it's an app that'll install TWRP and the necessary bootloader. There's a separate 23C and 24B version.
Then you'll have to search here on XDA for Xposed for Lollipop 5.0.x. Don't confuse it with Xposed for Lollipop 5.1.x - I'm pretty sure they're different. Both are in testing.
There's also a beta version of the G3 TweaksBox Xposed app.

I used AutoRec and installed a TWRP recovery version that absolutely did nothing for my phone. I simply tried backing my phone up with it and it froze up. So I returned back to the stock recovery with that app. Maybe I just can't find the right one? Idk.

If it was for the VS985 and for 23C, than it was the right one. I never had that issue, maybe you should post about it in that thread though so they maybe they can help you with it. Another option is to use the app to install TWRP, then update TWRP to the latest version 2.8.7.0 via flashable zip, although I know I had used the version built into the autorec app to backup and restore 23C just fine.
Not sure where the G3 TWRP thread is. I think it was in the Verizon G3 Original Development but if I remember right, they might have continued releasing TWRP for the VS985 in a thread in the non-variant G3 sections. I think there was a link to the new thread from a post in the end of the old one.

Found it. Reinstalled the app and reflashed the recovery and now it works. Not sure why it didn't work the first time without freezing. Now if I can find the upgraded version of TWRP, install Busybox and then Xposed, my stock 23C should be good to go.
Thank you for your help, man.

You're welcome! Glad it works now. I think on the VS985 you can even flash TWRP from the TWRP Manager app, but only after first flashing via the autorec app since I think the bootloader gets changed too, but now that it's changed, you might be able to upgrade to the latest TWRP that way. Of course the flashable zip will be the safest route.
I'm about to get a new LG G3 from Verizon (it won out over the G4 and S5 due to ease of root). Ideally I want to run the stock Lollipop OS with root with all updates frozen. Is that fairly easy to do? If so, how can I go about doing that? I'm been searching through XDA for a couple of days now regarding this, but it's akin to drinking from a fire hose. Any help would be appreciated.

Depends on what release of Android the G3 you pick up has on it. Don't take any OTAs once you get it. At worst, if it comes with 35B, the latest update - you can't root directly from it. You'll have to use the "return to stock" TOT method to downgrade to 10B. Find the "return to stock" thread in the General section.
What method you use to root depends on the same thing. If the phone comes with 12B, 23C or 24B you'll have to use one of the newer root scripts available in the General section of the non-variant specific G3 sections. If it comes with 10B or you downgrade from 35B, use the Stump app found on XDA with a search.
To install TWRP, if on 10B, just use TWRP Manager to install the latest, v2.8.7.0. I forget what you have to do on 12B. On 23C or 24B, there's two different versions of the "autorec" app you can get from the same section as the newer root scripts mentioned above. Install the correct one, give it superuser permissions, let it take 30 seconds to backup your stock recovery, then press the button to install an older version of TWRP. You can use Quick Reboot app from the Play Store to get into Recovery. From that version of TWRP, flash the latest version.
In the end, you can flash any of the three stock 35B-based ROMs @xdabbeb 's, @hsbadr 's JasmineROM 9.0+9.1 update, or @HolyAngel 's SkyDragon 6.x. Follow the instructions exactly in any of their threads.

Is it possible downgrade or upgrade (depending on which version the new phone has) to 24B, rooting it, and leaving it as is?

Yes, although 35B runs a lot better than 23C and 24B. If you did want to be rooted on 35B, JasmineROM is very minimally modified from stock, especially if you don't flash the debloat zip.
If it comes with 35B, you'll have to do as I say and downgrade to 10B first using the TOT method, then you can upgrade to 24B and root, or whatever method you're going to take.

Yes. But there is no advantage to doing so. 35B > 24B by a longshot. And Jasmine 9.1 is stock 35B rooted. Save yourself some time and trouble and flash that.
I recently got a new LG G3, and I have been messing around with it. I found out that I had updated it too far to root, so I downgraded and rooted. Now my phone is telling me that I can update my phone back to the version that I couldn't root on. Is it safe to upgrade to the newer version with my phone now being rooted? I don't want to have to downgrade and re-root again.
Before Lollipop, it was possible to be rooted and take OTAs and even keep root, as long as you had the stock recovery instead of a custom recovery like TWRP. With Lollipop, 23C and above on the VS985 when you have root, you can download OTAs but it'll fail to update, whether or not you have the stock recovery.
You have to install the latest TWRP v2.8.7.0. I don't know what you downgraded to so the way to install TWRP is different depending on what build of stock LG Android you're on. Then you can flash whatever stock 35B-based ROM you want, @xdabbeb 's VS985 v2.0, @hsbadr 's JasmineROM v9.0+9.1 update, or @Holy Angel 's SkyDragon 6.x, in order to be on the latest update and rooted.

JasmineROM 9.0+9.1 update is the closest to 100% stock, especially if you don't use it's optional debloat zip.
Note that if you want Advanced/HD Calling to work on it, you'll have to flash the 35B bootstack AFTER flashing JasmineROM, which you can get from @xdabbeb 's VS985 v2.0 ROM thread first post. Also note if you decide to flash SkyDragon, or re-flash JasmineROM, or run any CM12.1-based ROM you'll have to flash the 24B bootstack again from @xdabbeb 's thread BEFORE flashing JasmineROM, and then again you could flash the 35B bootstack after in order to get the 35B modem working, which takes more than just flashing the 35B modem over top of JasmineROM or SkyDragon.
Same thing applies if you flash SkyDragon and decide to switch to JasmineROM.
If you don't flash the 24B bootstack when needed, before flashing another ROM, you'll end up with the phone never showing anything but a black screen, but even though you can't see it you can operate it as normal at least as far as putting it in Download mode in order to flash a KDZ again to put it back exactly right and start fresh.
Hope I don't scare you.

Don't quite understand how to flash a bootstack.
I am on 23C, so from what I am understanding I will need to flash the 24B bootstack, install Jasmine, then flash 35B?
Is it easy to revert to stock if I don't like Jasmine?

Not wasting my time as long as you don't make me repeat things, and it helps if you do some searching since all of this information has already been posted in response to threads in the Q&A section and other places probably including part of the information earlier in this thread.
As far as installing TWRP once you're already rooted while on stock 23C?
Use @bender_007 's autorec app for the VS985. Get the one specifically for 23C. His thread is in the G3 (non-Verizon) General section.
Flash a boostack by choosing Install in TWRP and directing it to the appropriate zip file you would've previously downloaded.
If you're on 23C, you won't *have* to flash any bootstack before flashing JasmineROM because you're already on the 23C bootstack - JasmineROM will overwrite certain partitions with 24B stuff, and the remaining 23C partitions will work fine with it too, partly because both 23C and 24B are Android 5.0.1.
That being said, it won't hurt to get in the habit of flashing the 24B bootstack before any other ROM other than @xdabbeb 's VS985 v2.0 including JasmineROM and SkyDragon because doing so will save you some headache, the severity of which varies depending on the user.
JasmineROM 9.0+9.1+35B bootstack is as stock 35B as you're going to find for a pre-rooted flashable zip ROM. You *could* use more technical methods to get even more stock, and it's not difficult, but I wouldn't recommend that until you're more comfortable with how to do things on this phone. You could find everything you needed in @bweN diorD 's stickied thread in General, though.
Otherwise if you wanted to get back to 100% stock, unrooted of any official ROM, it's not very hard although some people have a little trouble with it. There's a return to stock thread either here in the General section or maybe it was in the non-Verizon G3 General section.

I'm just wanting to clarify, because I've read it in about 6 different places.
Best practices to install any ROM (other than the rom by @xdabbeb would be to
1) boot into TWRP
2) full wipe (cache, system,davlik)
3) Flash 24B bootstack
4) Flash ROM (AOSP/STOCK)
5) Boot System
6) Profit.
I am just summarizing, as this appears to be the clearest set of instructions I've seen by anyone. I appreciate your efforts in all the threads Road Warrior.

You definitely want to wipe data too, but I think you just forgot to include that. Otherwise, yes, exactly. You're welcome!
Of course, if you're flashing another 35B based ROM, although you want to start off with 24B bootstack, you *can* flash the 35B bootstack after.

Nope, I haven't tried it. Someone else just asked me the same thing in PM (which bootstack). No matter what it shouldn't cause any catastrophic error and the worst you'll have to do is just flash a different bootstack or the ROM will tell you it needs a different if you flash the ROM after a certain bootstack.

I've been looking around the forums to see any progress made. Saw the bounty threads but came across this on the Verizon LG V10 forum.
"rootsystem with TOT vs990 made by tungkick"
As I cannot post links cos I here am newb, just wanted feedback. I really do enjoy this phone but think it would be better with root. Anyways, I do understand that they are different phones but maybe same method would apply? My phone has the unlocked boot loader but recovery cannot be flashed to gain root. Not trying to drone on here but just curious.. Thanks!

That is the rooted official MM update for our phone. It's not lollipop. If you updated via the kdz or ota, then your stuck waiting for root like others that did it that way. AutoPrime is working on root so hopefully it's just a matter of time.

I read an article about it too. Not sure if any link was posted though. Chainfire is well known so you might be able to Google him and find his stuff.
Edit: I found this and it has a link to the download. I know people where asking about it but I haven't heard if anyone tried it. Supposedly it keeps root and custom recovery intact when you upgrade via ota. Don't know if it would help in your case since you are already on MM. You can check it out and see.

Back when I was using a Moto Cliq the Devs found a way to flash a custom recovery using the stock recovery. I was wondering if theres any chance that will still work.
The file was named update.zip and it would flash it.. Just a simple reboot back to recovery and there it was.

Like I said, I think it's more for preserving root and custom recovery during an ota update. I have seen stuff like that done in recent years, I think something like that is how they got root and custom recovery on the Verizon G4 last year.

Kewl. I might give it a shot. The update has been sitting on my phone since yesterday morning.

I just want root for getting rid of bloat and spyware. I talked to a friend who works at TMob and he says reason it's getting harder to root is because unless you buy the phone outright, it's a lease. He mentioned that the JUMP program isn't really profitable, hence all this difficulty. Patience is a virtue...Pfft.

If you try it please report back.
To be fair im already rooted and on MM Rom by Eliminater74.
But I tried FlashFire to see if it'll work.
Downloaded an earlier TWRP build and renamed it to recovery.img and it flashed fine.
The app needs root for it to work. Now maybe this will work for those that have root but no custom recovery..Im not too sure. Also not sure if the app is also searching if it has a locked or unlocked bootloader.
Im not positive if the fastboot command to flash a recovery is blocked on MM but its flashable using FlashFire.

But you are not on an factory updated MM firmware - right? Your present MM is a custom rom mimicking MM. If yes, that's why you did not lose root...On factory MM update it is not possible to flash recovery either way...

I didnt update via LG Bridge or OTA but
Its not mimicking MM. Its a Rom but its TMobiles official 20e update.
But I was just testing to see if it will work for flashing a recovery.img after MM.
Not for losing or gaining root.
Thats why having patience paid out for me. Everyones quick to have the latest and greatest not knowing the consequences it will have.
Now if we can get a root injected 20e .kdz or .tot file and flash it with LG tool or bridge (or how ever the other versions of the V10 gained root)
Then unlock bootloader
Theres a chance FlashFire will get TWRP to flash.
Just need a root injected 20e .kdz or .tot

What's with people saying Eliminator74's rom is mimicking MM? His 20E rooted rom is the official T-Mobile update. His Korean port is the one that mimicks MM. I'm not trying to start anything, just trying to clear things up. If people update via OTA or use LG Bridge, they are on the official 20E MM software. If people update using Eliminator74's stock rom, they are on the official 20E MM software. Hope this helps clear any misunderstandings about it. [emoji106]

I haven't update to MM yet. It downloaded to my phone early Tuesday morning and has been sitting there nagging me to update. I am still on stock rooted Lollipop with the latest unofficial TWRP for the our V10. I'm debating on trying Flashfire. Chainfire is an excellent dev and has done and continues to do great things for the Android community so it's possible he is heading in the right direction. All of our great devs are working hard to crack this for people. Autoprime and The Cubed and their teams worked hard to figure out root for the G4 even after other devs and users had given up on that device. Have no fear, our devs will figure this out, you just have to have some patience, it will happen. [emoji2]

There's that "patience" word again lol..
I do know my bootloader is unlocked because of the "corruption" message when it boots up..but I would rather wait till something solid is worked out like previous posters have said.
Anyone want to try Kingroot?
