You're new here, and you're panicking, so I'll be gentle. You only need to post about the trouble you're having once. You created two new threads, posted about the problem in a third thread, plus I assume by your friend request that you were trying to PM me about the same issue, which is why I have the ability to PM me disabled unless I have someone added to my contacts in the first place - way too many unnecessary support requests to me in PM.
I can't speak about anyone else, but I definitely won't see your message any quicker this way. Please in the future only post about your issue once. If you have additional information to add, you can edit your post or add a reply to your previous post.
I do give you credit for at least posting the multiple posts in the Q&A section.
I don't know anything about using this phone while not on Verizon, and especially while using it outside the U.S. - other than the fact that some additional radio bands can be unlocked. I have no experience doing that, and you can search and find several other threads in the General and Q&A section. Maybe someone else will have some information that's more helpful.
Edit: If you want to install SkyDragon 6.x, wipe Cache, Dalvik/ART and Data in TWRP, flash SkyDragon 6.x and then flash either the 24B or 35B Bootstack. Flash the Bootstack AFTER flashing the ROM or you might brick your phone. Recoverable, but bricked.

You have to click the exclamation point in a triangle /!\ on your two other posts to report them to a moderator and ask them to delete them. If you do that hopefully they also delete my replies to your duplicate posts.
@xdabbeb made three bootstacks available in his VS985 v2.0 ROM thread that's in the Development section. You install it by flashing it from TWRP. Just get used to flashing the appropriate bootstack AFTER flashing whatever ROM you flash because flashing it before flashing JasmineROM or SkyDragon can cause a brick. Sorry if I'm repeating myself, can't remember who I told what and wanted to make sure you know.
The 12B Bootstack is for KitKat. 24B is for Lollipop 5.0.x. 35B is for Lollipop 5.1.x and Marshmallow. Depends on which version of the SkyDragon ROM you flash. If you're flashing the most recent, SkyDragon 6.x, then you want to flash the 35B Bootstack AFTER flashing the ROM.
You can flash debloat zips that I have in my signature below to get rid of bloat (if you're flashing a ROM that includes bloat). You'll find with all the ROM flashing, and especially with flashing international-based stock ROMs and CyanogenMod-based ROMs that eventually there might not be anything you can do to get a signal. I've noticed that it's common to have problems with anything but stock LG VS985 ROMs. Sometimes you just need to restore to complete stock by flashing the 10B TOT, re-rooting, put TWRP on and be very picky about what ROMs you flash from then on.
You're welcome!
thank you so much my phone is working now

Hey guys, so the last phone I rooted and had a bootstrap on with custom roms was the Motorola Droid x2. We couldn't even get into the kernel. So with that being said I've acquired super user on my g3 months ago to freeze apps. But now I don't depend on my phone like I did then for work. So I want to do the whole thing and I'm unsure what choices to make. I'm not looking for a guide for installing stuff (at least not yet ) just trying to get suggestions and hopefully good recommendations.
So here's the main point for the post
TLDR!!!!!
Current android version 5.0.1
kernels- unlock it? Change it? Not sure what all you can actually do with that.
Bootstrap- clock work mod? Or any other one can't think of names but need something to load roms
Rom for battery and power- cyanogenmod is what I use to run on the x2 not sure if it's still one of the best?
Anything else I missed that I should get and check out?
Thanks in advance
Put TWRP custom recovery on your phone with the autorec TWRP app by @bender_007, in the General section of the non-variant specific G3 sections. Once you give the app superuser permissions it looks like it's hung up but give it 10-30 seconds because it's backing up your current recovery. Then click the button to install TWRP. Download the latest TWRP v2.8.7.0 from its thread also somewhere in the G3 sections, and flash it from your current TWRP.
I use @xdabbeb 's VS985 v2.0 ROM, which is based on the latest official LG ROM, build 35B, based on Android 5.1.1. Very happy with it, very smooth and great on battery.
I haven't heard the term bootstrap with regards to custom recoveries. I'd suggest just calling them custom recoveries.
Thanks for your input it's been a while after I read it I was like yep it's custom recoveries lol thank you again

This is a stock VS98547A firmware in flashable format. Big thanks to @roirraW "edor" ehT for getting us the 47A partitions!
FAQ:
Why isn't this debloated?
That wasn't the goal. I would HIGHLY recommend disabling OTA and all Verizon apps/services, however, as they are known to report your rooted status. There are plenty of threads here on xda describing this. You have been warned. The goal here was to distribute a full 47A base for all to do with as they please, nothing more.
Will you be updating this?
Unless I goofed and missed something on the initial upload, no.
What exactly has been modified?
I set the install up with a systemless SuperSU 2.68 beta, busybox, and removed a few LG Security checks. That's it.
Can I take an OTA with this installed?
Again, you should NOT take an OTA with this.
What bootstack should I use with this?
You should be on the 35B bootstack (located HERE). Without going into great detail, the 47A modem won't work without the corresponding 47A secondary bootloader (sbl1). Unfortunately, the 47A sbl1 doesn't play nice with the last bump-exploitable Android bootloader (aboot) we have from 12b. If you use that pairing, you'll put your device into 9008 bulk mode. So, that door is closed for now if you want a custom recovery or kernel. You are welcome to try using some of the other supporting partitions (dbi, factory, rpm, tz) to see if there are any improvements, etc. Just remember to stay away from modem and sbl1. Everything seems to work fine with the 35B set, but we'll find out one way or another as more people use this. I will look into a way to get the 47A modem working when I have time.
Will you be actively supporting this?
As this is a stock firmware package, any issues you have while using it are in LG/Google/Verizon's code. As such, I will not be supporting this. XDA has a Q&A section for general help.

Installing:
Make sure you have a backup in case anything goes wrong.
If you aren't already using it, flash the 35B bootstack zip (link above).
Wipe data & cache in TWRP (do not wipe internal storage unless you have the install zip on an external sdcard)
Flash the VS98547A FW zip below. DO NOT swipe the prompt in TWRP to install SuperSU. TWRP doesn't see SuperSU because it isn't in system, but it's still rooted. Also, the phone will reboot twice after flashing. This is a normal part of the systemless SuperSU install.

VS985 debloat scripts
Here's a link to my VS985 debloat scripts post for both the VS985 and VK810. My debloat zips have been updated and will work with both devices up to 46A for the VS985.
NEW: @@joshua70448 was kind enough to make an online tool to automate making custom debloat zips according to what a user selects to debloat:
joshua70448 said:
I put together an online tool that lets you pick exactly which files to remove in a debloat script and builds the flashable ZIP and MD5 files for you (as well as a full list of deleted files).

Link to his online tool and to his original thread to thank in my thread I link to above.
These should work for 47A or any future stock ROM release as well. If they added any new bloat or changed the location of any bloat it would work for everything but what they changed.
The only things I've done to the debloat scripts every time a new stock ROM is released is added any new locations and unnecessary apps.
@RoxanaSchram linked a flashable zip of a standalone version of Verizon Visual Voicemail in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65417925&postcount=654
Here's a link to the non-flashable 46A Verizon Visual Voicemail app that the "All" and "Verizon" debloat scripts remove: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=28519. You'll have to extract it (I use ZArchiver in the Play Store), move the folder to system/priv-app and give the apk the same permissions that other APKs in other subfolders of priv-app have.
Most anything else you should be able to find in the Play Store.
Y'all are truly great! I'm going to flash the hell out of this soon.
Thank you for all of your work!
Thanx, For me, you said I was a little bit difficult???. actually, 12b bootstack +24b modem, can run well.
VS985 USER
Thanks brot you are awesome... My question i can install xposed whit this rom
roirraW "edor" ehT said:
First! ☺
I probably will post debloat zips here sometime. Similar to my ones for the VK810.4G LG G Pad 8.3 I have, and have linked to in my signature below. They will partially work in the meantime, just some apps are in different places on the G3 so some won't get debloated.
My No OTA zip should definitely work though.
I'll post direct links when I'm ready.

Same precautions as usual, backup. It should work fine - mine just debloat more, but I got started by modifying @hsbadr 's with his permission. Debloating is just deleting files.

What is being asked is if the D855 Xposed support zip needs to be flashed so Xposed would work on 46A.
Will this rom remove twrp?
Advanced Calling
Anyone know if advanced calling/HD voice works with the 35B modem on this ROM, or do we need to get the 46A modem working for that? Do we need to disable it to get any call audio like we did in 35B with the 24B modem?

No idea, haven't tried yet. Make a TWRP backup, try without and see what happens. If broke, restore backup and try with it.

Kickin it on my 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

I just ran across that same file looking through my G3 files, I'm not sure which thread I got links from, but most likely came from afh in someones collection of G3 files. name of the file is "8._ VS98510B_01.KDZ-4.2.2-Jellybean-MD5_hash_inside-(not_official" and it's 1.47 GB in size, I expect it was just named incorrectly

DOH ME! I'm the culprit. Sorry about that. As soon as I saw the file name you put I knew it was mine. I'll fix that. LOL! I can't believe I did that, and of course I'm sure the reason I did that was my confusion between my tablet 10B and this phone's 10B. SIGH! Thanks for posting that and I'll correct that now!
Thanks @dadrumgod too for starting this thread which lead to me knowing that I had named the files wrongly.
Lol, its all good, figured it was just a mistake! However I did just d/l the 10B.kdz from autoprime via chainfire and it was 1.51 GB in size, slightly different, any concern for that? Thanks for all your help! Past present and future lol

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!

DOH ME! I'm the culprit. Sorry about that. As soon as I saw the file name you put I knew it was mine. I'll fix that. LOL! I can't believe I did that, and of course I'm sure the reason I did that was my confusion between my tablet 10B and this phone's 10B. SIGH! Thanks for posting that and I'll correct that now!
Thanks @dadrumgod too for starting this thread which lead to me knowing that I had named the files wrongly.

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. Funny part is I never use the mobile data and I'm stuck with the bill cuz I didn't know better at the time lol I could possibly bump a twrp for it myself but that's a lil beyond my expertise atm. 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. I guess ya gotta start learning somewhere huh

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!
Hello,
I recently purchased LgG3 Vs985 but its OS is Android 4.4.2 Kitkat it was already rooted but when i see my about device in phone setting It shows Ls990 as phine model no.
As far as i think seller did flashed a sprint rom in my device,but i am not facing any issues currently but want to upgrade to marshmallow.
I have installed twrp recovery into device its working fine.
Now i want experts to suggest me preferably an unlocked Stock rom or any other rom best suited for my requirments.
I want to flash using zip files.
Sorry for my english
Thanks
Pls suggest.
Hi!
Question threads go in the Q&A section.
To have mods move your thread, report your first post using the button that's an exclamation point inside a triangle at the bottom left below your first post.
The first thing I would do is flash the 10B TOT to start fresh. Who knows what was flashed on there previously that might cause problems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=67945841
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=68040923
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68098895&postcount=1470
Then I'd suggest @xdabbeb 's VS985 v3.1.1 ROM in the Development section.
Good luck!
Thanks for your reply,i also wanted to know i flash international rom into my vs985?
Can i flash roms of D851 or D855

No. Not unless a ROM specifically says VS985, and there are international ROMs that do say that. Just be aware that both international stock-based and CyanogenMod/AOSP ROMs sometimes have problems with mobile data even with the right APNs, and that they also both sometimes make it so that if you flash a VS985 stock rooted ROM after, that it doesn't work quite right, again usually involving Mobile Data, and that you should reflash the 10B TOT to start fresh if you go back and forth.
The same is true for all devices. If a ROM doesn't specifically mention your variant, then don't flash it.
Forgive me if I'm in the wrong forum or thread for this.
I had my VS985 G3 rooted with Lollipop but I unrooted to upgrade to Marshmallow a while back. Interested in rooting again but I'm having trouble finding a method for my build number, which is MRA58K. Android version is 6.0. I searched around and found methods for the 47A build but nothing for 58K. Does anyone know if there is a root method for the G3 with 6.0 and the MRA58K build?
Unfortunately not, 47A is the latest VS985 build number which has a root method available.
@jmillgrip questions go in the Q&A section. Report your own post to a moderator and ask them to move it there by clicking the /!\ icon on the lower left corner of your post.
If you do not have a "K" after the VS985 under the battery such as VS985WK, then you can downgrade via the VS985 10B TOT and root etc from there. They are literally dozens of threads that mention how to do this in the General and Q&A sections.
If your model does have a K somewhere after the VS985 (it won't show in Android's About menu, only under the battery), then you absolutely cannot downgrade or root once you're on Marshmallow.
Ok thanks. I reported the post to have it moved. Can I ask, if the 47A build is the latest one that has a root method then why wouldn't I downgrade to that instead of 10B?
I checked under the battery and there's is no K.
Thanks for your help!

I was mistaken. It's software version 4BA.

Thanks for having it moved, and you're welcome! You're in the minority of people who actually have their posts moved even after I tell them how to do it.
I saw your other post about it being a build higher than 47A, but 1) I don't even remember being able to root 47A directly, 2) I moved on from this phone five months ago and no longer have it, 3) If 47A is able to be rooted, it was either through a workaround and was actually just an alternate method of downgrading so that you can root that I tested and posted about that was clunky at best but bricked a very few people, and permanently bricked maybe 2-3 people (but that was also before we knew about the "K" variant so that could've been a factor) AND/OR it involved KingRoot, which I recommend avoiding at all costs when possible, and 4) long story short - too late, it is just plain easiest to root and install TWRP from 10B. I apologize for over-explaining, it's just what I do.
Ok I see. I definitely don't want to do anything shifty. My phone is super stable and I like it that way. I just want root to get rid of bloatware mainly. 10b will take me back to Lollipop though correct? I really want to stay with Marshmallow.
Ok I think I understand. I downgrade to install TWRP and get root access. Then I can upgrade back to Marshmallow if I want?

that's correct. you'll need to flash a rom that's already rooted. XDABBEB's VS985 3.1.1 is a good one. you'll also need to flash the correct bootstack that goes with the rom. follow the instructions in the post and you should be good.
Thanks. The ROM seems cool. I'm just not totally understanding which bootstack is the correct one.

if you're going to flash that rom, you'll need the 35b bootstack. follow the instructions in the first post of that thread.
