Ok so I restored my G2 to 26A. I'm noticing that most of the games I played before are now not compatible?? Simple games like Clash of Clans and Madden Mobile are no longer available for this phone. Anyone have any suggestions why? If my wife's phone can have it and it's older and running kitkat, why isn't it available for this phone?

I was trying to find out how to update, root, and ROM it but there are so many posts that I'm not sure how to. Right now the phone is on 26A so any help would be greatly appreciated. I basically just want to throw CM on it and be done with it. I'm already rooted thanks to Stump Root.

I will try to help you out. May i know which G2 variant you are currently using?
Edit: My bad. You are using verizon g2.
Download this lollipop latest stock from here : http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/Verizon/Lollipop/
Then follow this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 , follow KDZ method to get it done.
Once you are on lollipop, Root again, install recovery using autorec ( if you happen to find an unresponsive button , lmk) and make a nandroid backup, then flash cm on it.
Lmk if you need further assistance.

Understandable, happens when u weren't in touch with sth specific for long cuz alot changes.
Install TWRP first . Then make a nandroid backup in case you ever need to go back the current state ( u dont wanna screw things up and do kdz all the way upto this) . Then download cm13, wipe data, cache, dalvik cache , do not wipe internal storage.
Thats it.

You shouldn't reset anything before you begin. This method will create a backup of your stock system using SafeStrap. You can always return to your original setup using SafeStrap. Just reverse the toggle setting for Safe system (step 21). The wipe in step 22 is all you'll need.
I'd recommend reading a little about how SafeStrap works if you're feeling uncertain. There's a link to the Safestrap website in the "Credits" section of the OP.

I'm using [H]on3yScr3am: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10340-tpax-hon3yscr3am/ (Props to MasturMynd).
I'm not sure its technically built for 901, but its working fine for me and looks awesome. Basic steps to installing are 1)Download .zip to SD-card 2)Backup (step 20 in OP) 3)Install .zip in Safestrap (steps 23 and 24 in OP). Wipe shouldn't be necessary for this theme, it is built into the script.
Always backup before you do anything.
Other themes ("Tpax") for Kin3tix are here: http://rootzwiki.com/forum/264-th3oryrom/
When I get some time I'll break this down further and add to OP.

When it comes to the .901 file, the file reads Blur_Verzion.5.5.893.XT875.Verizon.en.US.zip
The file name makes it look like the one pre .901. Can you confirm the file is correct and just named wrong? With MegaUpload gone, I'm not sure the MediaFire link is correct. I'm looking for another source for .901, but in case I don't find it....

Motorola names their updates based on the filesystem they are REPLACING. So yes, this is correct. I did my homework before I wrote this up, promise
Thank you. I appreciate that. Seemed odd, but was thinking that exact thing. Running a backup with Bootstrap first, then will install this and move on to test out some ROM's.
Has anyone made progress with unlocking the bootloader? I just got the Bionic a few weeks ago. Sure isn't like the Xoom when it comes to customization.
I just wanted to thank you for the excellent guide. I'm now running the ROM w/ the HON3YSCR3AM mod. It's really cool. Apparently there's been some issues between the dev's who made some of this though.
I really hate that there is so little out there for the Bionic. Hoping the bootloader can be unlocked so we can see some real developments come about. I like Moto phone's, but will avoid anything with a locked bootloader in the future.
I followed the steps verbatim. I could have sworn that last night I was on 901 and now it shows me on. 893. Should I run the update again or what should I do? Eclipse is running.
I also am getting the default tether or mobile hotspot notification when I run wifi tether... Is there a fix for this?
I also usually run the application Klink by faveset and since the root it will not recognize my phone when I hook up the usb.
Any ideas.

Just explained in the several post above you but since you missed it. You are on 901 but for some reason when you flash a 901 compatible rom it'll say 893 in phone info. But if you had just did the update and boot up your phone before flashing a rom it would've verified you are actually on 901. Weird I know. I did this this morning cause I was worried too that I wasn't on 901.
Perfect thanks!

Figures. It can't be a huge update. Interesting to see what the changes are too. I can't believe knock code still isn't included in this. I am running a G3 port and don't really like knock code either. It sure beats entering a code, but I just prefer to knockon from anywhere and swipe to unlock. Knock Code was too difficult when my phone is in all sorts of weird positions and angles.
the link in OP's post is 2.2GB. It took a few minutes to install on my phone, so it's not a small update like the last one.

It shouldn't matter when you .kdz though, it will wipe everything, and start you fresh. I didn't have any problem rooting with stump root once on 27A.
You can let everyone one know if you kept root while upgrading to 27A from 26A.

No problem. It's barley 9:30 here in Texas. When you get ready to go up to 5.0 using the method in that thread make sure to set your screen timeout to 10 min. After flashing 5.0 with flashfire it took about 10-15 min for mine to boot back up.

Ha. I have a Verizon note 2 also. I got from a friend. I just got it rooted today but it's on 4.4.2 so it has a locked bootloader.
After I installed the official version, it says no support for sdk version 22 and arm64 cpu.
I found this thread but worry about the no recovery mode and potential bootloop so didn't try further

Nope...
Not yet anyway; there is a conflict between the Xposed version of libart-compiler.so and the LG G4 version of libart-compiler.so.
Your post is now located in the xposed section:good:
Thanks for the update, wondering what are different between the sdk version 22 and arm64 ( snapdragon 808) in G4 compared to other models (M9, S6,...) as I saw there were successful stories on those.

Logcat? Is the G4 running 5.0 or 5.1?

Then it's either not working or a user error. There's your answer

I know, but that's the answer. It's either working fine and he borked the install or he installed properly and it's not ready for the phone yet. I have no clue this person's skill level

Well we are here to help each other by posting what we've done and what we would like to do or see in the future. my answer was for the person asking if the last v69 is working since the Dev said that it does work on LG devices but he didn't specify exactly which ones. so in my turn i have tried it on my phone and gave an answer to that.
here's a proper answer too

LG G4 H815 Europe:
Installed "xposed-v69-sdk22-arm64-by-romracer-20150804" by TWRP and Clean Dalvik and Cache.
Phone's Display after boot is dark. I think is not ready booting.
Can start the bootloader after this by ADB and uninstall xposed.
After this phone is all doing like before installing "xposed-v69-sdk22-arm64-by-romracer-20150804".

If its 5.1, then the link @marcdw posted will not work, as its for 5.0. Try mine here (make appropriate backups, etc). Otherwise I'll need a logcat to see what's going on. LG G4 is also a Snapdragon 808 and it appears to be running arm64.

i have downloaded your version which is for 5.1
Has anyone been able to root the phone after the Verizon VS9803AA update? I have a G2 that was never rooted. The digitizer failed so I replaced it with an OEM LCD+Digitizer and suddenly the phone can only be used when there is bright light. I went ahead and replaced the light sensor, but it doesn't make a difference. I used an application to check the light sensor and it performs just as my G3. My thought is that the problem is software based.
If I manually reboot into recovery, I get the icon of the android with a red exclamation point. Plugging in the USB and holding the volume up does not bring me to download mode, it just displays the battery charge. Did Verizon successfully block the ability to root?
I'm having the same problem with not being able to root I've used IORoot which isn't compatible with lollipop, avicoh one click and . bat which get up to rebooting the phone but ends in an error reading "The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value."
so i read about Injecting root in to system image and then pushing image back to phone. But i haven't seen specifics for the LG G2 have you had any success in rooting the phone with the new VS9803AA Update
The phone as the VS9803AA update and I think it is the cause of the proximity sensor problem. I've read some other posts from people that had rooted and took the update. A different situation, but they have a similar problem. In one of those threads I had read about the bootloader version having changed. It is almost as if Verizon killed the ability to do a recovery on the phone. Nice huh?

Nice wouldnt be the adjective but if the bootloader is different is it possible to extract it and build a root with the new bootloader.
I am new to this however i'm a quick study and have rooted devices in the past ( manually ) I'm just not a developer so there has to be some one working on this right?
In the meantime is it possible to flash an older firmware I'm scared to try with out knowing for certain.
I too am trying to root the VS9803AA with IOroot and it says there is not yet an unlock for this version. I am very frustrated.
EDIT: I did discover how to root! I used the tool found here.
Now if I can figure out something to replace FreeGee, which does not work with AA...

I'm sure it was stock, because this is the first time I've ever tried to root and I did check the software version (VS9803AA) and it said, "Official." Now it says, "Modified."
My original goal in doing all of this was to open up the T-Mobile bands so I can have LTE again. Just left Verizon. But the youtube tutorial I was watching asks me to use FreeGee and it just is not compatible with 3AA as far as I can tell.
To root: webtrickz.com/how-to-root-lg-g2-running-lollipop-with-lg-one-click-root/
To flash TWRP: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=b007.autorecvs980
I haven't tried AutoRec yet, but a review says it works for the 3AA.
Hope this helps, let me know!

Hay there,
Use kingroot the easiest way to root lg g2 without any trouble, try it and let me know thanks
I'm in the same boat - got this Verizon LG G2 from my sister fixed the LCD screen because the digitizer had dead spots. Can't root tried every method I could find and Verizon appears to have patched any working exploits. Also have the same oversensitive proximity sensor. Great job Verizon!!!
UPDATE:
I have root finally! Flash the prior software version 39a as I was not able to get anywhere with 39aa. Used Kingroot to obtain root and installed recovery!!! I installed Xposed and adjusted the values for the proximity and light sensors so that is no longer an issue also.

Man u r great. My another problem is resolved. Hotspot is now working. Sometimes a message appears that you cannot use Hotspot as Verizon sim is not detected. But when I switch three or four times on and off, the Hotspot enabled. Huge thanks.
One more question, I want to install custom recovery? Which is suitable for 39A? Thanks in advance. [emoji4] [emoji4]

My stock is too much laggy. I used cyanogen for my S3 and it was working wonderful. I was using lollipop for my S3. That was stable, fast and was packed with features. The LG G2 rom is dead slow. Thanks Suleman for your time and valuable comments.

Im not saying its bad to flash i personally recommend it to you but in stable form ,as it has bugs and in development stage n one more thing if you are camera lover then cynogenmod cam sucks your expectations , stock cam is far way better than this . if you really interested to flash something then go for xdabbes rom which is stock based , search the forum and you will get that,
Good luck
