[Q] We want to go back to KK? - Verizon LG G3

First, thanks for taking the time to read this helping! The wife and I both have stock Verizon G3 on build 23C. So far, the G3 is the only phone I HAVEN'T rooted, but we both hate LP. Will someone tell me what to do to get back to either stock KK or, more preferred, a debloated version of it? I've tried looking for it, but there's just so much data here!
Again, thanks in advance.

This post here will get you back to stock KK. Download the 12b KDZ at the bottom of the first post. I don't believe anyone released a debloated stock ROM, although there are some stock based ROMs that come without the bloat.

You're welcome! Lucky for me you had just posted the link in the previous thread I read.

Thank you both. Gonna try it on my phone tonight

Why are you wanting to go back? I'm thinking of flashing the lollipop kdz to update. No ota for me because I'm not on Verizon.
Any reason I should hold off on lollipop and just root 12b?

[Q] Anyone know if a dev is working on a Stock Root Deodexed 12B?

Hi guys,
Just as the title says, I am looking for a Stock Rooted Deodexed 12B ROM (like the one Beanstown106 made for the 11C update) and New Radios with rom or as separate zip if possible. Does anyone know if there is a Dev already working on this?
Thanks any help is appreciated.

Hard to say. If you don't see one in the dev forums, then I'd say no. Most are working on LP now that KK has run it's course.

Completely understandable I just was hoping someone would release a very basic stockish rom I could use to upgrade before I went to a LP rom. And also to get the new radios.

If you look at the next post in that thread, they give you the ability to flash install that particular app back in.

And, as far as the radio's go, you can obviously just manually flash those. Radio's (modem.img) are included as individual downloadable .zips in the jasmine rom thread I know, great place to get them and a super easy way to update that before going to AOSP.

[Q] Thinking of picking up a G3, what do I need to look for?

Looking to upgrade from my note 2, in order to keep unlimited data buying off swappa and deciding between M8 and G3. From what I have read if you can revert to 10b it can be rooted. are there any versions that can't be reverted back to 10b?
saw the thread about everyone praising the phone but wanted to know if there are any complaints about the phone I should consider when deciding?
thanks for any info
I went from a note 2 to the G3 no regrets man..... Love the phone.

I don't think you'll have a problem reverting to 10b for root and recovery. I love this phone so far and haven't had any problems. Not a ton of stock roms available but they are quality roms.
So far, every version can be downgraded in order to root it.

There are two methods to go back to 10b: the KDZ method and the TOT method. Just to give you some info, if you go back via the KDZ method, you won't be able to accept OTAs from what I've read. This is because the KDZ image is based off of a pre-release version of the software for the G3.
The TOT method, which is more involved but still easy to do, uses an official 10b version that will accept all the official OTAs.
Just my 2 cents worth.
Love the phone. I am not disappointed in it at all.

VS985 12B_TO_23C_01.up FOTA file(s)

Cut to the chase; here's the download: Verizon LG G3 VS985 12B_TO_23C_01.up FOTA files.7z.
I really hate to start a whole 'nother new thread just for this, but I also didn't want to stick this in the middle of some other thread where it'll get lost.
Regardless, if I've somehow missed this being posted elsewhere, let me know and I'll delete this thread.
I have no idea if anyone truely has any use or need for this, but maybe somebody will want it if they're not using a Verizon SIM and they don't want to KDZ fresh, and they're already on 100% completely stock 12B.
Edit:
You have to be completely stock recovery, kernel, system, etc. There are very small exceptions to this, but nothing worth noting. Just start from a completely stock 12B uprooted through the 12B KDZ and you'll be good.
Then do this (except with the 12Bto23C_01.up file, extracted from the 7z archive I provide instead):

Don't count on me answering questions more about how to use this or even what it is, at least not anytime very soon - I've been fortunately/unfortunately too busy to do what I'd like to do on my devices. Those who know how to use it know what it is. Those who don't know but wish to can find out elsewhere.
Who knows, maybe in a week's time or a month or two months, I'll start answering questions, but trust me, they're all answered in these sections already concerning OTA files/upgrades.
Omg there is a "C" release now? Is this a stable version? I know the OP isn't answering questions so maybe someone else will..

Its weird how some devices experience issues that others never have. This is the first I've heard of Wi-Fi sync issues on 12B
How do you flash or use these files? Link to How to? I'm on 12B and get an error trying to install the OTA. I'm guessing root or xposed is the calperate.

I prefer to make the distinction that this is 23C_01, which is the actual OTA. There were leaks of 23A, 23B and 23C (probably 23C_00); those were not official releases and this is different.

[Q] need help updating to lollipop!

Hi, I'm new here. Thanks to everyone who responds to this. I have a sprint lg g3, and I used stump root I believe to root the phone when I got it. My question is, how can I update to lollipop now? I don't mind getting rid of root or super SU. I don't use it for much anyway. Every time I try manually updating to lollipop it says there's no update. Thanks again for any replies.

What version are you running? ZV4, ZV6, or ZV8?
I'll assume it's ZV4 because Stump worked. Then all you need to do is "Bump" for recovery.
It's all in the FAQ if you are on ZV4.
Ya, it's zv4. Thank you. Do you think the update is worth it? I read somewhere that it wasn't any good.

Oldest stock or custom Rom for the vs985

For the hell of it I wanna take my vs985 back to the first firmware that came on it from the beginning or the oldest possible firmware preferably the time it was released. I'm just confused cuz I'm seeing 10b KDZ's saying jellybean 4.2.2 (and tot) but, the ones I've downloaded from several different places turn out to be a tot file that is actually kitkat 4.4.2 which is not what I quite expected. I figured someone made a mistake naming the file but several different ones now? What am I missing? I just wanna try the oldest stuff I missed out on for a lil while and custom roms would work too but kk is the lowest I find so is there anything even lower I cant find a clear answer lol.

Hi!
There wasn't any Jellybean available for this phone. For example, 10B for my LG G Pad 8.3 tablet was Jellybean. You can find the correct 10B KDZ and TOT in @annoyingduck 's stickied return to stock thread in the General section. If the filename has VS985 in it, it's likely the correct one.
Also please in the future post questions in the Q&A section. I'll ask a mod to move this thread there. Thanks!
That's exactly what I thought, I didn't think this phone was even this old but I have the files right here saying vs985 and 4.2.2 jellybean lol but it has to be a mistake. I appreciate your reply sorry about that after these years I still get lost and mixed up here sometimes , and this can be deleted now I got the right answer , thanks again

Mine is on VS98510B Android Version 4.4.2, came like that, but about to change that though as soon as I read up enough and figure out which is best way to go about custom rom install, (currently stock 10B rooted/bumped, w/twrp 3.0/ few mods)

Well I can tell how just about every Rom and mod runs on this phone and anything that you need to know I'm sure I've come across the issue at some point. I've tried everything I could find from your stock version to the latest mm stock and custom roms. A good hint I can give you is make sure you flash the right bootstack before jumping between android versions or you could wind up with a Qualcomm 9008 super brick where the real fun begins lol But it's very easy with this phone and it still blows my G4 outta the water so bad it's pathetic. I had 2 G4's and traded one fire this G3

The KDZs and TOTs in my Android File Host section are in 7-Zip archives that you have to extract to use (and are therefore compressed).
I do that since it seems so few people check MD5 hashes, plus TOTs aren't already compressed like KDZs are, so you reasonably know that when you extract an archive that the file inside it is correct and intact.
In other words, did you compare sizes with the 7-Zip archive you downloaded or the KDZ you extracted from it?
In the end I believe the TOT and KDZ-flashing software checks the file to make sure it's both okay and is for the device you have connected, anyway.
You're welcome!

Yea I was kinda curious about that one, but at least ya know huh, I've made quite a few Oops's myself lol.. But I'm still shocked at how much better the older roms are in alot of ways and LG did pretty good with kk apparently. But I have a gpad 10.1 vk700 and was surprised the lil difference between kk and LP and changed back and forth a good bit quite a few times mixing up what I was running... I should warranty that thing and play with it again, but no recovery so too limited.. Wah Wah Wah lol

Hehe. I'm lucky there was at least an exploit and TWRP for the G Pad 8.3 VK810 variant, and that some developers made an updated TWRP for it later.
I hope when/if it comes time for me to get a new tablet that I can find one that's powerful enough yet have an unlocked bootloader, etc.
I really hope something changes so that with some future Android version that there's another way of handling the optimization of apps so that every time you take an OTA or factory reset you don't have to wait an extra 10-20 minutes. Call me paranoid, but also what if you factory reset and then need to use the phone in an emergency? That long a wait is unacceptable.

Oh there's even a bumped twrp for the gpad 10.1 v700, mine is the vk700 with LTE but it's the same tab.

I also wish I'd have known better when I got my g4 or I wouldn't have went through hell and be stuck with a hopelessly locked non developed device with only root and no real fun.

It drives me crazy all these variants of the different devices. That's one thing I definitely like about Nexus, but I've never owned one. I was hoping the HTC 10 would be universal too but it doesn't look to be that way since it says on their website that for Sprint and Verizon you need different hardware (without any further clarification of availability/etc when I looked last week - just said soon). One of the selling points they gave for buying the HTC 10 directly from them is if you want to change carriers, you can just change SIM cards, but then the note about Sprint and Verizon - sounds like a different variant.
I do use Mobile Data on my tablet all the time. Undecided if I'll keep the mobile data plan after the contract is up in December. I do like not running my phone battery down as much since I use my tablet whenever possible for music, GPS, XDA, Facebook etc.

both compared are .KDZ, The proper named file I d/l from Team Codefire was already in .KDZ format when d/l. The "improper named" 10B .KDZ Im not sure where I d/l from nor do I remember if file was zipped or not. If it was zipped then I extracted .KDZ and deleted the zip because I can't find it in any of my G3 folders/files. So im not sure why the size difference :/ also i have a question about flashing 35B, I know this is not proper place but didnt want to start a whole new thread for 1 question. I want to update to LP and 33B FROM my 10B KK and I see these "notes" in threads everywhere but never a link to proper update procedure, This is what I keep seeing about not using flash method to go from LP to KK or you end up with no d/l mode or other bricks possibly. from the stock img thread by bwen diorD ---------> (((((((((((***Note, Do Not use the flash2 method to go from KK to L.
Partitions other than boot, system and modem need to be updated, otherwise, you will have no download mode, and other possible issues.
***A tutorial to install the Boot, Modem, and System, using @autoprimes "Flash2" method, can be found Here.
***Custom recovery "flashable zips" for boot and modem by @hsbadr can be found here.))))))))))So Im 10B rooted/bumped with TWRP 3.0..which route do I take from KK to LP?? Just more files to flash?? and which procedure???
Thanks in advance!

You can follow the directions in the OP of either @hsbadr 's JasmineROM 9.x, @HolyAngel 's SkyDragon 6.x or @xdabbeb 's VS985 v2.0, or what I say below for more detailed although technically optional information regarding the first two of those ROMs.
Flash either:
1. JasmineROM 9.0+9.1 and then the 35B bootstack after if you want almost completely stock 35B. Flashing the 35B bootstack after JasmineROM isn't mentioned in the JasmineROM OP and is actually optional, but encryptiona and Advanced/HD Calling won't work without it. If you choose not to flash the 35B bootstack after flashing JasmineROM, you should at least flash the 24B bootstack. SkyDragon 6.x is the exact same situation as JasmineROM 9.x.
You can use the debloat zip thread in my signature below on either of those two ROMs if you wish. I recommend flashing the debloat zip(s) before booting the ROM the first time. It'll make your first boot faster in addition to other things.
2. or flash the 35B bootstack first and then @xdabbeb 's excellent VS985 v2.0 ROM which I recommend. Even though I'm running 47A rooted debloated right now, his ROM is absolutely my favorite.
His ROM is very debloated, although there's some additional things I choose to remove via my debloat zips.

exactly what i was looking for to the T! thank you very much! I was MAKING SURE the 35B bootstack would flash all necessary files/img's needed to move from 10B KK to 35B LP without making a paper weight out of my phone lol. so 35B bootstack then xdabbeb rom then debloat, script....would you recommend full wipe or? before any of the flashes , and I assume all this flash with TWRP.
THANKS!! That was A LOT of help! I just did not know FOR SURE OR NOT if anything special had to done with partitions jumping from KK to LP

You're welcome! For such a large upgrade, from 10B to 35B, yes absolutely do a full wipe before flashing anything. I always do a full wipe, though. The built-in LG Backup does a bang up job for me for user apps, user data and limited system data - much faster than Titanium Backup.
You're welcome again!
