Why don't you look at the back of the Phone under the battery?

I did. At the back it it was f240l but other apps where saying s or k or l. So i was confused. I decided to stick to the info at the back anyway.

Thanks i did and i am running 5.o.1 lollipop stock. Everything is running smooth EXCEPT signal which very low, lower than before. The switching between 2 and 3g is terrible. Do i need to flash a baseband? If so where can i get for f240l?

Good Amigo, Im sure you can find what you are looking for somewhere on the LG forums, just type it in. I could not truthfully answer your question.

L signal was very weak. So i flash to f240k20d and the signal is very good. I received an ota update of 16.xmb. Which took me to f240k30e. Everything is working smothly

Verizon 4.4.2 update

Does anyone have or know where I can find the Verizon 4.4.2 update for this? I'm gonna try making a stock rom to flash in twrp from it. Is there a site for LG devices, like the sammobile site, that list all the softwares?

Ok, I see that there is a 4.4.2 update. Does anyone know if it's possible to get the update off of the LG Update Tool? If not, can someone on 4.4.2 extract their system and boot.img? You should be able to keep root using the SuperSU root keeper option while updating to KK. Has anyone tried that?

Hey, why can't you wait until Verizon release KitKat update for the Verizon G Pad. And it may not be possible to install KitKat update for the original LG g pad to the Verizon G Pad.

Because it will take big red months to get their bloatware into and release it to the people. That would be my guess.
Guys, according to other sites and users on this site, it has been released already. I'm looking for a system dump or the whole update image so that I can create a flashable rom.

I don't believe there is a Verizon 4.4.2 update yet, not all g pads are the same

Rooting on Lollipop 5.0

I just received my LG G3 today and updated to lollipop, not realising it was basically unrootable. Please tell me there is an option to root or atleast there will be soon? I cannot live without my Viper4Android app!
I can't believe I was so dumb to just install the update without considering the potential issues with rooting.
I updated my Nexus 7 to lollipop and quickly went back to KitKat using the Root Toolkit, so I didn't realise that we were having an issue with rooting lollipop devices. Or I wouldn't have updated at all.
I'm due another LG G3 tomorrow as the original company were out of stock, so I ended up going into the store and picking one up today, and ofcourse the original company just at that moment emailed me to confirm delivery for the following day.... anyway how far away are we from getting a solution... i will need to return one G3 so would it be worth returning the device i updated and keeping the G3 which will likely come shipped with Kitkat? Or will a solution likely be here soon?
Hope this makes sense, I've been up all night trying to root this *******.
Thanks!
Actually u can just install a custom lollipop rom which is already rooted or even install a stock rooted one too , it's up to u which one whould u like to return , for the updated one u can downgrade to kitkat using tot file and then root and get a custom recovery ... And install whatever u want

If you just want to root your phone, try towelroot.apk. You must be really lazy because a Google search on rooting lg-e980 will tell you about towel root app.

By any chance you have link to a thread which points to installing a custom recovery on my E988 (running official Kit Kat) ? SW version is E98820c-ESA-XX

If you can get it into fastboot, this can be fixed without unlocking the BL. Go through this post and find one that is for GB 2.3.3 and flash it. Next you need to flash the GB 2.3.3 ROM back onto the device. I will continue to search for the stock 2.3.3 ROM on the interwebz
Did this ever get fixed?

Downgrade from Lollipop to kitkat?

Is there a way to downgrade? I read somewhere that just flashing the firmware won't work. Has anyone done it?

I've done it. I reverted from IronRom lollipop to Ironrom KitKat with no issues. No need for odin as the lollipop bootloader can run KitKat fine.
Just find a custom roms for KitKat and flash it through twrp

You're so helpful, sometimes too helpful :beer:
Honestly I get fed up with it.
May as well just remove the search button from the forum.
