Get it here, the one I got doesn't need any password or channel change on every use. Download/rename/backup and delete original files/pase/fix permissions/reboot/profit.

LG G3

Just look in the Verizon G3 Development thread, there is an updated APK which doesn't require you to change settings to get it to work. I'm running it with no issues.

Verizon LG G3, but using a T-Mobile SIM

I have a rooted Verizon LG G3, but using a T-Mobile SIM, and I've followed all the instructions posted, still not working. Any ideas? Would the WIFI tether app work?

If the latest modded APK isn't working, I'd definitely give the PlayStore WiFi Tether Router, from Grasso, a try. It's a trivial install, see if it works for you, else do an uninstall for refund.

Can this be used on 10b? It seems like this version is for 24a.

If you look closely you'll see it's designed for 24A for the G2, but evidently with the caveats noted in the OP, it works for our G3, too. Can't comment about what Verizon G3 builds it works on, I have no idea.

There's another hotspot thread in these sections with builds for 12B and 23B (which works for 23C as well). No idea if it includes one for 10B or if the 12B one works with 10B.

Instead of finding the more up to date and recently used thread, you somehow necro'd one that hasn't been used in six months.

What about after upgrading to Lollipop? Any idea if this still works. FoxFi is dead now.

Yup. Filpping flawless! 22.75 gig chewed up last month between phone and laptop. Not a peep out of Verizon. Godsend since my LG G3 is rooted but still stock so USB tethering has proved impossible. See also my post on rooting it.

Here is a XDA walk through for it...

Anybody know how to donate to that Dev?

Just look at the permissions for any other APKs in your system/app or system/priv-app. It's probably the same.

I checked everything, should all be stock now but the ota fails for some reason. Do you have to turn off debugging too?
I am only rooted, no mods and no changes at all. Weird, guess I'll have to KDZ if I want to take it.

Rooted is not stock. Root itself changes your system partition.

I understand that but I've never had an issue with an ota rooted and not altered in the past though. Is VZ changing things up now?

Starting with the 23A / 23B / 23C leaks and the final 23C_01 OTA, no one could keep root going from 12B to 23. Either that or trying to update would just not work, I forget which. 23C_01 to 24B_01 is the same way. More likely LG changed it. They try to squash the loopholes - that's not specific to Verizon.

Plus SuperSU doesn't appear to have an OTA survival mode under official LG Lollipop.

If you have twrp you can lock the system to not have system/write for trying to flash ota (2.8.7.0) latest twrp

System read only option: Devices that ship with 5.0 and higher as their initial OS are using block level OTA updates. With this style of OTA update, the update script checks to see if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. Further, the script also usually runs an SHA sum of the entire system partition to detect if any changes have been made. If any changes have been made, the OTA update will refuse to install. Since not all OEMs and devices have factory images available, we have created a new feature in TWRP that detects if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. If not, you will be prompted asking if you want TWRP to mount system as read/write. If you choose not to allow TWRP to mount as read/write, TWRP won’t prompt to install SuperSU and TWRP won’t try to patch the stock ROM to prevent TWRP from being replaced by stock recovery. The goal of this option is to hopefully allow the user to make a raw system image backup that they can use to get back to a state where they can take OTA updates again.

Seems to be if you Have no root installed

I thought root was required to install TWRP, has that now changed with the
latest update? I have flashify to install TWRP. So, given the above, if I KDZ back to
stock and make a non modified image I can eliminate needing to KDZ every time I want
to take an OT, that sound correct?

Uhm no I thought you were rooted ? but you could root your device install twrp and install a stock Rom which won't ask you to root it but you still have twrp and you "might" be able to update with twrp not sure if this is how they are explaining but it is how I understood it. there is some stock Roms out there though not sure if stock with odex exists though ?

if fixed that many things.
