It could be something else causing the bug, which you might be able to disable before setup proceeds.
Try turning off everything else you don't need. Personally I had problems with the following when I was installing MellowMallow - to my knowledge everyone who didn't do this is now running a broken version of mallowmushroom because they accepted the auto-update LG utilities which breaks the ability to check the status of your apps under settings:
"Note: after installation, the phone will try to auto-update its own LG setup and other apps. But the updated LG Setup won't work properly. So turn off the auto update under settings --> about phone --> update center --> turn off the settings for auto update (frequency none)."
Maybe there is a similar service or setting you can disable after doing a factory reset, that will help avoid that bug you mention?

Thanks for your reply ... I dont know if its the same process but I already disabled some apps using guides to get into setup menus, but the most important app (Setup Wizard) cant be disabled cause im on MM 6.0 ZVD stock rom and all recent security patches blocked all the possibilities to skip that screen.
i tried to flash but i keep getting fail
Update: after the help of the mad scientist got it flashed and working perfect sim unlocked was able to add my apn.nicely done
You´re welcome to all of you using the image I uploaded :good:
It would be great if y´all hit the THANKS button too you know? @TheMadScientist420 we still got hope with the G4 with this new method made by @steadfasterX
Mine bootloops every now and then and I resurrect it using a Heat gun so I´m willing to try anything that can get me to use custom roms on it or leave it to completely die hard bricked.

My method should just work fine with a ls991. Issues currently happen for other variants but afaik it would just work for you. After this you can root MM, install custom ROMs (if there were any for your variant), TWRP, ...
No guarantees for anything - as usual
If you wanna test come to IRC on Monday to Friday and i can guide you through.

I was wondering if anyone here updated their T-mobile L90 to the latest version. I just saw the update today and could not find any kind of changelog on T-mobile website so I would like to know if anything changed or if its just a bug fix. Also does doing this OTA update break root access?

Any official OTA update will break root. And it may be impossible to reroot afterwards. TowelRoot works for V10C for sure. PurpleDrake may be able to reroot.

This will definitely break root, and you won't be able to get it back unless you revert or figure out something that no one else has yet. I went back to version c. No changes were apparent otherwise.

It's said that PurpleDrake can root the devices that TowelRoot no longer works with.
Well no thanks to that stunt my mobile data wasn't working at all, had no choice but to wipe my system completely and send it to lg they already sending me back an another phone as we speak, now unless these roms are completely stable to the bone I'm not even going to waste my time with it(no disrepect to the developers but I got to stuff to do on my phone ), I'll just wait on the official android L update.

I upgraded since it looked as though the mod I did to use some USB OTG might work better with the LG update. I lost root, towelroot and Kingo root no longer work and this kinda sucks. I even tried some of the tips on this site to do an emergency reflash of the entire device and I can't even get that to work. The update didn't make the situation better for me.
I should have learned this long ago, just never upgrade until you're absolutely sure you can put it back the way it was. Even the revert software I had mysteriously is no longer on the device.
Next phone will be a gray market model for sure.

I recently got this phone repaired from LG and I just got it back, only problem is that I can't root this device no thanks to that recent system update used to fixed my phone. I tried towelroot that obviously didn't work, so I tried purpledrake that didn't work when the phone went to recovery All I saw was a blank black image that's it, and up top of that my Google play music app keeps silently closing out especially when I turn the screen off, can't really play too many games especially Asphalt airborne it force closes, and when I try to move my apps to the SD card most of the time it doesn't even work........ Please help with this!! Please I'm losing my mind over this man.
Same
Im having the same problem! It sucks butt!!
Waiting for a new method, i've tried all known ones with no luck, towelroot, towelpieroot, root master, stump root, z4, purpledrake, weak sauce and so on, no luck seems all known exploits have been patched, the only thing you can do at the moment is downgrade to d41510c the root like always, would do it my self as there were no major changes in the update but waiting to get access to a pc.
Edit: sorry the only method i mention i haven't tried is purpledrake as you need a pc for it but so far eveyone has said it doesn't work.

The only method at the moment is use the lg flash tool and downgrade to d41510c then root with towelroot as usual, on d41510e currently there is no method, the whole update was an exploit fix and pretty much thats all it did for us was fix any known exploits we use. I've been following threads for other devices because they have bounties for an exploit and root method but they're still working at it, alot of the samsung devices got locked up as well. A major change in android L which they got was major exploit fixes, pretty sure that where this whole lg update idea cane from, just we didnt get android 5.0.
Same goes for nexus devices which got the update first, currently they have to root by flashing a modified kernel. I follow the verizon note 4 thread, they have a bounty for an exploit and root method, hope it may help us. Chances are it may not though.
Also nexus and some note 4s use the cf-auto-root method which auto matically flashes and roots for them, that method is device spacific to file needed to download to use it, and requires a pc.

Yes works for t-mobile, have t-mobile my s elf but no cant upgrade again, until some one releases a rooted version of v0e have to stay on v10c. Heres a method to get knock code while still on v10c. That is really the only change between the to besides the root patch fixes.
They have released the source for d410 so hopefully we should be looking at a lollipop upgrade for d415 some time in the future, hoping sooner than later. Till then i wouldnt worry about the upgrade to v10e.

Depend which kdz, uf you use the v10e kdz you cant root. Have to use the v10c kdz to root. Knock on code is a new lock screen method implemented in the v10e update, its not necessary just a mod put together for people who want it while staying on v10c so they can root. It alot like tap to wake you use a series of taps, 4 to 8 in a square box thats devided into 4 sections, i prefer it because unlike other lock screen methods you can use it while screen is off like double tap and it just opens to yur home screen. I alsi think its more secure than some other methods.

If your bootloader is not already unlocked (which is the case for the L90s with the most recent update apparently), after rooting, follow the information found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-t-mobile-l90-t2836457
Make sure you follow the steps explicitly.

Why do you need a unlocked bootloader? I didn't install TWRP because I just wanted some modifications.... but I'm sure there's twrp for this device!
Enjoy!!
The only real reason to unlock the bootloader and install cwm or twrp is to have a full backup...just in case. Also,for when they start making more ROMs for this device.

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

Sweet! Like I said I havn' t tested so no promises on anything. It will most likely boot but I had problems last time how it would keep rebooting randomly every 30 or so seconds. That's why I changed to att firmware because someone told me it was ufirms fault... carrier problems. Hopefully it is fixed

Maybe a dumb question but does this require an unlocked bootloader?
I just thought because you were using flashfire rather than twrp all I needed was root. But Im having a hard time getting acquainted with all the different variants for our phone.

My device is G935T, but I flashed your package, it has been stuck in the boot first interface, After I tried to flash BP and CP, but still can not open, is not in the flash CraZy_ROM before flash into the official AP in flashfire?

I didn't quite understand that last part. So did it not boot at all? Or did it boot but get stuck at setup?
Update soon. New approach so it shouldn't have a bootloop issue

Do you ever wanted to install TWRP, root MM or install custom ROMs?
... THEN READ ON
As I do not know if you here are aware of my unlocking attempts I wanted to point to my thread over here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/bl-unlock-unlock-bootloader-proof-t3648288
Before starting check your antirollback version ( http://tinyurl.com/antirollg4 )! This method will *not* work for devices with an ARB>=3.
The main thing is that my method is based on flashing / converting any device into a LS991:
So if you own a LS991 device it should just work for you - without functional limitations (afaik)!
I mean until now I have no LS991 testers yet but that hopefully changes after this post
.
After looking, can you clarify how things would be different if you use that procedure with the Sprint LS991?
I ask because seems like most of the steps are for tricking *other* phones into saying that they are LS991. But, if you already have a sprint phone, it already will say that, so what is left of the procedure that is somehow different from previous attempts?
Is it something about using a different windows boot mode to install TWRP - is the new procedure somehow allowing us to install TWRP permanently on a sprint LS991?

It will disable secure boot *enforcement*. That means it will still detect modifications of your boot and recovery partition but ignoring it so you can install TWRP and custom ROMs.

I can say up to ZV6 only but as long as no one test I can't say for sure.. I still can't say if the anti rollback means qfuse because in my tests I was able to flash an anti rollback of 2 which can also be device model specific behavior btw..

I have an LS991 on anti rollback v3 I think, or whatever corresponds to ZVB. So I think that's too late, and the only way to test is if you have ZVA or earlier, is that right?

The OP says it won't work on ARB>=3.
But when I checked at the link, it uses different terminology, like v1, v2, v3. I'm guessing but is ARB equivalent to v?

V means "version"
ARB v1
or "antirollback version 1"
or "antirollback 1"
or "ARB 1"
All the same

ZVI has ARB 4. No chance (yet). There is a little chance but this requires I can get SALT work in download mode for MM ROMs which is nothing which will happen soon.

impossible. The ARB will prevent this and you will brick.

How about "Kingroot.apk"? I read in some threads few people rooted thier Ls991 and freezed an app for 'Hands free activation'. Can I try it, isn't there any chance of soft or hard brick? Bcz they were on ZV5 or ZV6

I need to ROOT or DOWNGRADE only because to get rid of "Hands Free Activation" and use a local 3G/4G service. Otherwise I will have to change the mobile.
