i flashed fulmics ROM just before others posted that it has issues on VS985 (3G only + laggy WiFi). since this is not going to work for me, i tried moving to CandySiX but had to reflash fulmics due to baseband incompatibility. since then, i have decided to stick with LP for a while and want to flash XDABBEB's VS985. is it safe to do so? it seems like it should be since it has the full bootstack for flashing. however, i really don't want to brick my phone...
btw, fulmics is 30b while XDABBEB's VS985 is 35b.
i have attached a screenshot of my software info.
many many thanks!
i found some courage and flashed XDABBEB's VS985 following the instructions and it went smoothly.
i wish that there was some way to remove the VS985 from the list of supported phones from fulmics ROM since i don't think that anyone would consider 3G only to be supported. it is likely due to the difficulty of supporting CDMA when you don't actually have a CDMA phone to test on.
In my case I've been using Fulmics during a couple of weeks and it shows thw 4G connection icon. After flashing I get no sim, but fulmics tweaks has the verizon hidden menu where you can select the network mode in Modem Protocol section. Hope it helps.

Hi there, im sorry, can you rephrase that since I'm interested in using Fulmics.
Are you saying that you have the VS985 and are using Fulmics AND still have 4G icon? And to do so, what exactly did you have to select in the network mode in the hidden menu ?
Thanks,

Yes, in my case I've selected network mode automatic in the hidden menu, at this point it recognises my sim and prompts for the pin number. After that I go again to the modem protocol and select LTE band selection and select band 3.
Finally to check everything is right go to the normal network advanced options in settings, to see if anything is selected in network mode and select the desired, in my case is automatic 2G/3G/4G.
That worked for me.

Hello,
I am currently running a VZN SCH-I545 MDK on a AT&T network that has worked perfectly for all pre-LP versions and ROMs. Although when I try to update to a LP ROM, my mobile data doesn't work. I get an exclamation mark next to the signal bars even though data is on. I do get phone signal and wifi works. Am I missing something when updating to a LP ROM? Is this an issue when porting from VZN to AT&T when LP hasn't been released?
1. I tried several LP ROMs, but the only one that has worked so far is Dirty Unicorns 9.2.
2. I always do clean flashes
Any help would be appreciated greatly!

So I found the fix... for me using a Verizon phone on an AT&T network, then the mobile data settings are incorrect when installing LP ROMs. Somehow I got it to work when I messed with the following -
1. Preferred network type to LTE (preferred)
2. APN set to wap.cingular or pta (?)
3. Dialed *#*#4363#*#*
So got my phone rooted and ready to accept a custom ROM. Now what ever ROM I flash I get no cellular data. Only when I am on WIFI do I get data. On my status bar it shows my LTE connection to T-Mobile with a ! in it. Am I supposed to flash or do something else when flashing a ROM? I used the latest version of TWRP 3.0.2-0
OK if I revert back to the stock Oxygen OS 2.2.1 ROM it now works fine. What would cause flashing a custom ROM not to have signal?
No data means ur using the wrong cm13 version(i have no data problems on ashwins build.) or maybe your apns just arent configured. Google for your provisers apn configs and set them manually. Also validate that you can see your IMEI on the phone.

You missed the point.

AW OK got what you mean Downloaded Beanstalk CM13 still same problem. Flashes fine then I have no data no signal at all from T-Mobile. Only the stock Oxygen OS ROM works.
Just gave up. Went back to Stock recovery and stock ROM and locked my boot loader. Everything now works as intended. Not sure why all 10 ROM's I tried would flash and load fine but I would have no cell signal strange....
If you need to manually set APN settings go to Settings > SIM cards > SIM 1 settings > APN config.
There click on one APN-setting in the list to open it. Change everything you need, including the name (example: name: Hollandsnieuwe, APN: live.vodafone.com, username: vodafone, password: vodafone, MCC: 204, MNC: 04, APN-type: default, APN-protocol: IPv4, Roaming protocol for APN: IPv4, the rest is blank) then click: Menu > Save. Then go back to the APN list and click the dot right to the entry you just created. Then restart your phone and you should have the new settings active.
By the way: In OOS 2.2.1 you don't have these settings but they are probably already righteous.
I have this problem too but I saw a fix somewhere and cannot find it
Yeah I got it to work finally. It was the APN setting thing. But what is odd is, if I use the T-Mobile APN settings it will not work. If I use MetroPcs (Which T-Mobile owns) then it will work fine. So go figure....

APN is fine. I also have the same APN in other ROMs. I'm also on Telekom.mk (ex T-Mobile Macedonia)
Tmob no.. Roaming +
If I'm on any rom other than OOS I can use data when roaming (99.9% AT&T tower) but have issues with data on T-mobile. However OOS = no roaming data, but no t-mobile data problems. CM 13 and MM roms are useless for a daily driver. I can't recall which MM rom I tried recently but I could not get it to register on t-mobile LTE network even in areas where Tmob was the leading network.
I am getting pretty tired of onyx... I have other network issues with the recent update.

Never ever re-lock your bootloader, it could bug it out so that you can not unlock it again and/or strange things can happen.
Be glad if you are not affected, but if you unlock it again, keep it that way since it's of no disadvantages to have it unlocked.
I have a cyanogenmod 12.1 release on my VS985 LG G3 and it's starting to have some issues with the SIM card potentially. When I first installed cyanogenmod, I had issues seeing the Verizon network, so I flashed the appropriate modem files (can't remember them off the top of my head). It worked for a while, but then at some point a few months back, the phone had issues seeing the LTE network. I found somewhere that if you put it into airplane mode, then restart the phone, then take airplane mode off, you'll see the network, and it worked.
Lately though, the phone is occasionally giving me random problems saying that it can't even see the SIM card. Can SIM cards fail? Are the modem files buggy and just need to be reflashed?
I can't seem to figure this out, and I can't even find all the modem files for the cyanogenmod 12.1 I used...it's starting to become a nightmare! Help!
Yes, SIM cards can fail.
No, the modem files aren't buggy and shouldn't normally require re-flashing. That said, it doesn't hurt anything at all to flash a modem any amount of times. I would suggest you flash the entire Bootstack instead of just the modem. The Bootstack includes the modem. For CM 12.1, the 24B Bootstack from @xdabbeb 's VS985 v2.0 ROM thread is what you need. For reference, the 12B Bootstack is for KitKat, 24B is for Lollipop 5.0.x and 35B is for Lollipop 5.1.x and Marshmallow 6.0. I doubt if reflashing the modem/bootstack will achieve any result you're looking for. If your phone still lists a baseband in the Settings/About menu, then the modem's working.
The modem partition itself is only one file, modem.img.
Last but not least, it's very common for anyone who uses non-stock LG VS985 ROMs that they eventually have problems, usually with Mobile Data but maybe trouble recognizing the SIM card too. Unless you flash back to stock (I suggest the 10B TOT, which will wipe all data including internal storage) and it's possible that you'll find there's nothing wrong with your SIM card at all - if you remain on stock.
I've considered going back to the stock, I felt that the Cyanogenmod for the VS985 was actually a downgrade. The camera for the LG G3 was pretty badass and I never ever had issues with data. CM does allow some cool stuff, so maybe just a rooted version of the stock ROM is what I should go back to...hmmmmmm....
Did you mean this thread for the bootstacks/modems? http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/reference-stock-img-files-t2966958

For what it's worth, the paid version of G3TweaksBox for Marshmallow Xposed module helps alleviate some of the pain of not running CM ROMs. Good luck!

Exchange your SIM card at a Verizon store. Also, has the phone ever been previously rooted? If so, see the last paragraph of the second post in this thread.

If you Googled "How to flash TOT" you'd get the general idea. You can't flash TOTs or KDZs from the phone, you need to use a Windows PC.

My wife's SIM slot suddenly stopped working a month ago. LG wanted $75 to fix it, so we didn't have it fixed and we'll be in the market for new phones soon - she's just using her old flip phone for now. Apparently it's a common issue with the VS985.
I installed Fulmics 5.2 rom on my Verizon lg g3, and now I am stuck in 3g, even though there is great 4g in my area? Anyone found a reliable fix, or should I give up on Fulmics (which is great otherwise)?

I wasn't able to install it so you got further then I did. But I had that same issue on a number of non-stock ROMs and never found a "fix" other then trying diff nightlies until one worked. Another is very flaky WiFi which I'm seeing on XenonHD
Just simply give up. Nobody really has ever gotten an international GSM rom with working LTE on the VS985. A couple of months ago we got 3G working on fulmics 5.0. However to my dismay, when I flashed another ROM, I only had 3G data no matter what I used. It turned out that it wiped my EFS partiton, the one that controls call and data information. I had to wipe my phone with the stock KDZ file, and then re root and unlock.That really, really sucked. Moral of the story: give up on the international roms that say they're 'compatible' with the VS985. They're not.

Thanks!
Fulmics was a wonderful ROM except for Verizon 4g, so now I'll restore to something else. Wish I knew this first, wasted a bunch of time.
No problem man!
I've got it working, I think, my data icon shows a 4G. I've found a post in fulmics thread that says to get it working you should wipe, flash then bootstack, flash fulmics and once again flash the bootstack.
Some times in former versions i've got it working just wiping, flashing fulmics, booting without data and flashing the bootstack after all, so I guess that flash the bootstack after fulmics gets the point.
Give it a try and post back!!!

I've tried that before, however all I ended up getting is a 4G roaming data icon. Is it showing as roaming for you?
I would go back to fulmics, but I'll admit I was only using it to have a little look at UX 5.0. Then it wiped my EFS partition, so I'm not gonna go back. If it works for you then great! Happy on xenonHD right now though.
Hey there, I have the V30 US998 model (bought from US Cellular, my service provider as well) and I'm having issues with my service after flashing.
Stock root works perfectly fine, but when I try to flash any Oreo or Pie room I either get with with perfect SMS and MMS (only works after making a call) with both 4g and 3g running about .3 Mb.....or I don't get any of it working at all.
Is there something I'm missing? Maybe flashing a kernel? I would appreciate all help and advice!
maybe after flashing try adding the corresponding apn for your carrier and see if that helps out with your mms and sms issue. also make a back up of the stock rom with root if swapping roms. it'll be faster than restarting from scratch after a flash.
Make sure your APN is set correctly. This is what's recommended by US Cellular for the V30:
Name: USSC
APN: internet
Proxy: wap.voicestream.com
Port: wap.voicestream.com
Username: [email protected]
password: yourMSID
MCC: 310
MNC: 120
Authentication Type: not set
If "APN type" pops up: default,supl
Not sure why they suggest putting a domain in the port field as I've never had a carrier that used anything there... it's always been "not set" for me. It doesn't make sense logically by basic understanding of the internet but maybe it's something weird and specific to phones and carriers.
Not sure exactly what MSID is but apparently if you call 611 US Cellular can give you it.
Normally nothing "pops up" but that's what their site claims. Usually "APN type" is where you set "default,supl".
To save those APN settings you click the three dots at the top right then select save.
Ultimately, you could nandroid your flashed phone and put your stock US Cellullar ROM back on, record the APN data and flash the nandroid back onto the phone then restore the default APN settings but first I suggest you try to just enter the APN based on the information from the US Cellular site and the below step.
Another thing that could be going on, assuming the APN is set correctly is to enter the following hidden menu with the dialer: *#*#4636#*#* and go select the appropriate preferred network type. For me on ATT I went with "LTE/UMTS auto (PRL)". I think this should work for you as well. This resolved data issues in the past on my Nexus 5 and I had the same problem on the V30+ after flashing a ROM which it also resolved.

I tried to save the APN settings but it failed due to an error? I think it had something to do with either port or the apn type. So I am curious, would grabbing us99820e_02_0910.kdz for US998 (US Cellular) and using LGUP help in this instance? Would all I have to do is reunlock the bootloader and root?

You don't have to re-unlock bootloader. It will stay unlocked unless you re-lock it; please don't. Because to re-unlock you have to temporarily downgrade to pre-July 2018 firmware.
Why US998 20E? Why not the most recent? 20E is older. 20F is most recent You can even flash via TWRP. Just reflash Magisk before rebooting.
You can also enable DTS 3D stereo on US998 20F:

I stated before, even flashing back to stock was still giving me issues. I really haven't had much sleep recently due to this issue, so please have patience. I ended up plugging my V30 into my laptop for LG Bridge and it automatically updated to us998 20F. I am hoping its what I needed.

For custom ROMs, you do often have to edit or even create APNs for specific carriers.
Hope stock 20F solves your problem.

Yeah, when I got back home and flashed back to stock, I was only having issues with 4G and it's speed. Just went up to F and I'm still running into them. I also can't edit the apn settings I actually need to change.

I believe US Cellular is one of the last to use CDMA, but I made the apn default but still everything but the first two are still grayed out.
Download 20f zip to sd card in your phone. Go into twrp and go to wipe. Swipe factory reset then go to advanced wipe and wipe the things i have in sceenshot. Then format data. Flash zip. Wipe cache. Reboot system. Make sure you backup anything important because if it is on phone storage it will be gone. You can flash magisk later if your phone works after that. I am on us cellular also.
Before I saw this post I was having problems with cell data, after leaving wifi data will not kick in, I had to go to setting and enable 3g only then LTE and after that, I got data connection, what I did I just dirty flash 20f (I didn't want to lose my info), and everything has been working fine.
PS
I never had a custom rom, it was just converted from sprint to US998, and worked fine for a while and then suddenly started having the data problem

Question, have you gotten any of the Oreo or Pie roms to work nicely with your phone and service? Curious cause now I've fully fixed my phone's service And junk, kinda getting antsy to try out one of them.
Liquidremix worked good but you have to make a call after reboot to get calling and data to work. Right now i prefer stock rooted
After waiting a bit I haven't found any ROMS supporting US Cellular off the bat.
I'm on the latest update US99820G and still having no luck. Anyone else find a fix found a similar post!
I don't have a US Cellular phone (I have the vs996 (Verizon) Frankensteined to US998 - - currently on 20g). For me to install any custom AOSP rom, I have to first do a clean wipe and install the twrp flashable US998 - - 20e rom. I then do a clean wipe and install the AOSP custom Rom of choice (resurrection remix, Liquid Remix, etc.).
If I don't do it this way, then I have problems with data, sound, texts, etc. Again, I don't know if this applies to the US cellular phone or not.
I still have to make a phone call (I call my voice mail) after reboots to get things working.
