I received the 6.0 update tonight. ~788MB download and 20 minute install.
Things I noticed differently:
-Response and fluidity seem better, might be due to it clearing the app cache
-Notification bar is smaller, this is a plus for me
-Messages in the message app are smaller, this is a big plus for me
-Everything LG wise has a more flat material design to it. Looks better than before but still iffy
Will update in the future about the battery usage.

1 of your pics says modified, did you already root it?
Any link kdz ??
Wow... can't believe the VS985 already has official MM coming this quickly. That's so unlike Verizon to get updates out this quickly.
I'm also shocked that VZW released it so early. I'll be waiting for a KDZ so I can upgrade the G3.

Yeah, if you DID root it, how? Curious because I need to keep root for TiBu.
Oh and @snoop5 also posted a link to an article from Android Authority stating the VS985 6.0 is being pushed out.

I did not. I was rooted versions ago, that was taken away with the 5.1.1 update, but it kept the 'modified' status.
I can look into root for it. The link Bradg24 posted helps. I'll see if I can get recovery on the phone in an easy way.

Rooting a stock ROM, and having a version of SuperSU that will work on it are two different things. That's not a root method unless you:
1. Already have root/TWRP.
2. Have the new ROM as a flashable zip.
If so, then after flashing the ROM then you can flash SuperSU.zip.
This isn't what people are looking for when they're looking for a "root method".

@2kool4u526 can you test the auto brightness on this release? On 35B in a dim room the built-in auto brightness made the screen too dark to be useable, although using Lux Lite from the Play Store rectified that.
Thanks for the info.

You'll have to get root before you can attempt to install TWRP. Keep in mind if it screws up your boot with a secure boot error, you might not be able to fix it until they release a KDZ for 46A, if 46A's Download Mode doesn't allow flashing older KDZs, just as 35B's didn't.

Too bad it's not like Samsung with being able to flash a custom recovery via USB through Odin on a PC, at least that's how it used to be with Samsung before Knox - now I don't know.
I've tried looking into if it's possible to build our own KDZ but I never got anywhere. Since there are tools to extract them there must be a way of building them, although they might contain some kind of manufacturer signature to confirm they're official when flashing them.
Wi-Fi Calling?
Can anyone confirm/deny if this version has any WiFi calling capabilities? I know Verizon rolled out this capability for the S6 and said they were going to update other Android handsets in 2016.
Long shot, but I figured I would put it out there...
do we even have any devs working on stock verizon ports anymore? i thought holyangel and hasbadr stopped working on this device

Define "anymore". @hsbadr , @HolyAngel and @xdabbeb all released 35B-based ROMs, and the only one of those three who's phone situation changed since then is @HolyAngel 's.
Before the KDZ is available (or rooting a stock build of the OTA at a minimum) it's too early to find out if anyone will release a ROM based on it. Heck, if no one else did by some miracle, I would, based on what I learned from @hsbadr and @xdabbeb.
Only those three devs might know if they would update their ROMs, and we shouldn't ask them. Either they will or they won't depending on if they feel like it.
(I know you weren't asking them so please don't get upset)
i know hsbadr didn't have the phone anymore when he did 35b.
Really hoping we can get a Jasmine update for MM, I mean maybe someone can make a poll showing how much demand for one there would be?
Yeah idk if I'll be supporting it or not at this time, at the least need kdz or system dump.

If you take the OTA or load the KDZ yourself, you may not be able to go back.
LG as of today pushes an update to the mobile support tool as soon as it runs from the HW Test program. This update ignores that you've loaded a KDZ with the HW Test program.
If you disable internet connection Lg Update tool refuses to load.

Not to sound pessimistic, but the AT&T S4 and Verizon S4 have been locked down since June, with no exploit found. This could spell quite a bit of trouble.

I dont know that method. Any guide of. Thread for us?
Search these forums. You should find the working updated app in or around the spectrum section, dll in the g2 section(variant specific). Search and you will find. Certain individuals are also skilled in the one time(for "legal/abuse purposes" ) imei rewriting. There's no such thing as not going back with LG, currently. Just isn't made completely easy. This isn't ****ty Samsung.
I noticed this starting last week that the support tool ignored the HW test's loaded KDZ and just started downloading its own file. It took several retries and rebooting the computer a couple of times for it to start recognizing that I wanted to flash a local KDZ. I don't know what fixed it but keep at it. But it's not like it catches you by surprise. It's pretty obvious that it's downloading instead of beginning the flashing process so you should have PLENTY of time to abort.
What uses R&D to determine the correct software? Imei? Current sw version? Current hw version?
I got an LG G2 802 this weekend since I cracked the screen on my HTC One.
I havent rooted yet, and Im still on 4.2.2.
There seems to be alot of differences between these two devices I've had.
Would it be adviced to not update to 4.4 KK if I should get the update available, since Its only a matter of time before I go with a custom ROM.

Well, there's no custom recovery available for the D802 on KitKat yet, so if you update and then want to flash something else, you'll have to downgrade to 4.2.2. IMHO, KitKat isn't that big of a deal on the G2, with custom kernel this device is blazing fast even on Jelly Bean.

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.

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.

I'm pretty sure there is no version that is compatible with our HAM2 on Lollipop, yet.
Perhaps we have to modify the build.prop again?
Which reminds me, I still have yet to root my phone.
I have tried the build prop theme changes and about everything I can think of ...both versions for 5.1 hang at boot.
It took forever for xposed to come out for Lollipop because that's when Android made the official jump from Dalvik to ART. Then it appears that certain manufacturers modify the ART runtime on top of that.
It looks like Huawei is one of those companies. Samsung also did it, but they have such a huge fan base that they had a dev that came up with a work around. It's possible that someone will do the same for Huawei eventually, probably for another phone or tablet that could possibly work for us, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

I looked into it and it will prevent booting. Likely to do with emui. Tom is waiting on kernel source so he can make a stock rom. Xposed will then work. Patience is key.

I am using the new unified TWRP, here is what I have tried, with the outcomes.
Use unified TWRP to restore a JB backup I made before LP>>>Won't boot, just boots TWRP over and over.
Use unified TWRP to install Xordos' b148 flashable>>>Boots, but internal SD card is unwritable.
Use old JB version of TWRP to install Xordos' b148 flashable>>>Same as unified TWRP, broken internal SD
I also had a lot trouble doing the official downgrade. Most of the problem was me not reading the instructions, and thinking I just had to throw the b148 dload/update.app on my sdcard, but there is alittle more to it than that. Also, i think you need to have the newest stock recovery installed. I tried it with TWRP installed, obviously it loaded TWRP instead of the stock recovery and failed. I then flashed a stock recovery that I had on my PC, thought it was the new one but I could be wrong, but that also failed. So I just did a full official LP upgrade again with the LP update.app, that gives you all the right stuff and I was then able to do the official downgrade.
I just did that like 5 minutes ago and it appears to be working! So, it looks like its going to be a loooong process going from LP to JB, or vice versa. Wish you could just use TWRP, but I don't think you can.

You know, Viper works on Lollipop? You have to install busy box, install the viper driver, disable low power audio, and start the app after every reboot, but it works!
Sigh. OK I will get the step daughters CC and make a flashable rom.zip from it. Didn't really want to go back to messing with roms much but it looks like there is a need. Can't do it tonight I have a sick 3 year old. I will tomorrow. Maybe afterwards I can make a flashable L zip to make going back and forth easier. Haven't done the L flash yet... But looks like cake walk. Sadly it will overwrite anything you have on the phone.

That's also for Lolly..it says in the directions..
Unfortunately I updated to the MM but my boot loader is unlocked. From my understanding of reading various sources, the inability to flash a custom recovery on MM is the current dilemma. Threads get buried so quickly so maybe I'm missing something. But TY [emoji4]

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've been reading a lot too. From what I read is that FlashFire by ChainFire might be the only chance we have to flash a custom recovery. I've tried searching for it but I can't find a link to it. Im rooted on MM already but I still would like to know..

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.

Downloaded & Installed it. Still unsure what to do with it. Lol

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?
