I need to unroot as I'm getting the LG g4. Typically I would just flash the zva tot file, but I'm trying to see if there is a shortcut. I noticed an option in titanium to unroot. Since I'm stock, can I select this, then remove busybox super su?
Thx

I would just do the flash tool thing, its your best option. It will uninstall/replace TWRP and it will also reinstall all of the Sprint junk.
Actually still using standard recovery.
I'm assuming I can use the LG tool to flash directly to zva, instead of zv8 then upgrading?

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!
I don't want to lose root on my phone. Just want to make sure that I can update to the lollipop update that was released 4/13/15 without losing root. Thanks!

You can re-root using a new method, but I think they patched Stumproot. Also, the "bump" process to made thinks like TWRP and custom roms loadable was also broken, though you can get around that by flashing an older version aboot image, somehow.
If you have made any changes to system files, like you would want root for, you cannot OTA successfully. You can use the Verizon Software Update Tool though, or the new .kdz file. The Update tool replaces your whole phone image though, so no trace of root will be left afterwards.
But, then you can re-root.

The only reason I have/need root access is to bypass the hotspot charges. So I could do the OTA, which would unroot my phone and then reroot using what? And where is a good place to find the files and such?

Maybe this isn't the answer that you're looking for, but the easiest way to upgrade from rooted and with custom recovery on any release is to flash JasmineROM v7.0 and then the latest SuperSU.zip. JasmineROM v7.0 itself, without the separate mods or debloat zips, is 100% stock official release OTA 23C_01, besides the necessary partitions in order to keep your working custom recovery with it.
You can do the LG Backup from the settings menu for everything, then restore it under JasmineROM to keep everything that's possible.

Well, it might be due to the root-script.
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.

So Jasmine ROM also has the notification issues over Wifi or is that fixed with a mod of some sort?

There is an IPv6 fix that you can flash to solve it.
I upgraded using the Verizon tool on the computer. I was rooted.
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.
I want to root my VS985, but did the last 5.1.1 update and now the 6.0.
Are there clear instructions anywhere on how to root this thing? I tried to root a few weeks ago but could not find good instructions with download links that worked well.
Am I more screwed now that I took the 6.0 upgrade?

Kingroot had been reported by a bunch of people to work on 46A. Google for it, don't look in the Play Store for it.
I have no personal experience with it.

Hello,
I have used Kingroot to root 35b, and then i removed Kingroot and replaced it with SuperSU. I found the instructions within these forums.
My questions is, I'm currently on 35b (rooted), and I want to be on 46a rooted.
What is the process of me going from 35b rooted to 46a?
Once I am on 46a, I will try the Kingroot process.
Thank you,
dmoney98
I tried kingroot and it completes with success and root checker from the playstore also confirms root worked. However when the phone reboots it loses root. I tried to install twrp via the playstore app and it worked but I cannot boot into it, i get a message "boot verification fail" that pops up in a tiny window in the top left of the screen whenever I try to go into recovery. I tried a factory reset, but that does not work either. Guess I am stuck till I figure out how to get a proper root done.

One of two options:
1. You need to put TWRP (custom recovery) on. The easiest way to install TWRP is to downgrade from 35B using the TOT method (which requires the new .DLL from the 35B KDZ) to 10B, then root using the Stump app and use TWRP Manager from the Play Store to install TWRP, then you can flash @xdabbeb 's 46A ROM in the Development section. With this option you won't have to re-root once you're on 46A, plus you won't have to deal with Kingroot at all.
2. The other option is to flash the 35B KDZ (you could probably use Normal mode so it doesn't wipe your user data and internal storage) and then take the 46A OTA.

Yep, you can't install TWRP that simply after 10B. Has nothing to do with the way you rooted. See my post above for the easiest way to put TWRP on.
Are the instructions and files here: http://lgflashtool.net/index.php/tot-method/ what i need? Since I tried to install twrp already will I need to install the stock recovery separately or is that part of the image used during the TOT method?

Flashing via TOT or KDZ completely wipes your phone (your internal storage, data and system, but external storage is left alone), including the the recovery and replaces it to complete stock, so yes, it will "unbump" your phone and you'll be back to stock status.

Yes, that's the correct instructions, with the possible exception of the .DLL file. There's a thread in the General section with W*A*R*N*I*N*G in the thread title. Near the bottom of the first post in it has the new .DLL.
