Please Help - I will pay you if it comes to it

Guess I am not as techy as I thought. I got my phone rooted LG G3 (VS985) but I realize now I am in over my head. Only reason I wanted to root is that I am tired of being practically forced to take OTA updates (or being nag screened to death until I do) that then break functionality of the phone I once had. This happened with my Samsung S4. Did some research LG G3 was supposedly easy to root.

I followed the method for downgrading my firmware to 10b using the TOT method. Only reason I even decided to take the risk is that it claimed you could restore back to factory at anytime. Well come to find I can't get into the download mode now that I have TWRP flashed onto my phone, so now I am unable to follow the same method to get everything back to stock.

This phone is my main tool for work, I HAVE to get it going right again before Monday, I hope to God someone can help me. I have TWRP 2.8.3.0, I assume I am still running the 10b firmware, and being that installing AutoRec got me to the point I could get to the download mode in the first place, I installed the CloudyG3 ROM so I could at least get to Android 5.0 and reinstall AutoRec in the hopes this would give me access to the Download mode so I could put my phone back to stock and just suck it up and deal with the stock ROM. I would stick with Cloudy, but things don't seem quite right, my phone is stuck in data roaming.

I just want to go back to the stock firmware and ROM etc, but I can't follow the TOT or KDZ method because holding volume up and plugging in the USB will NOT get me access to the download mode to use the LG Flash tool to restore stock so I can just run the stock ROM.

I know I am an idiot but please help me I am desperate here and I will gladly work out something with someone monetarily if you can help me get back to stock and I will just leave the thing alone and take the OTA crapola. Whatever, I am so done, I just want a phone that will work and that won't force me to update constantly and break every time some little thing changes. This industry has gotten so ridiculous and I refuse to have Apple anything but I am so over technology at this point, I have lost so much of my life to this pointless crap. I beg of you, help please and thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
not being able to get into download mode has nothing to do with twrp. im guessing autorec eithe broke or installed the wrong laf partition.

download this file and put it on your internal storage (not in a folder)

get a terminal emulator app and enter the code below

exactly

as i have it. hit enter after each line and wait for the prompt to return before starting the next.

when finished, try download mode again and report back.

su
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf
dd if=/sdcard/laf.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf

btw, when on 10b use stump root. its made for 10b only and doesnt touch any other partitions.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Yes, that's correct.

boot.img contains the kernel and ramdisk

OK going to try this now. I followed this guide on reddit which links to XDA ultimately:

(scratch that it won't let me post the link until I am at 10 posts but if it comes to it I will get it on here after 10 replies)

and yes I used Stump 1.20 apk after downgrading to 10b and Android 4.4.2 so hopefully all will be well once i can get access to the download mode and get back to stock. I would love to be able to play wih my phone with all this root stuff, but now that I see how deep this rabbit hole goes I guess it's time to acknowledge when it comes to my phone I am just going to be an end user. I don't have time and can't afford to be bricking my phone. Thanks SO much! I will let you know if that worked. I super appreciate it!

[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
i would flash clean stock using the tot or kdz (whichever is available for your version) to verify the issue still persists before throwing in the towel.

you seem to say under certain circumstances it works right, thats the only reason im suggesting to flash stock before giving up. there may be some partition not changed by flashing roms that has an issue, which could be resolved by a kdz or tot flash.

there are return to stock threads in the g3 forum if you need the files and guidance.

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------

no problem

you really shouldnt be using autorec just to flash twrp unless you are on a 23+ build or greater, where other partitions need to be modified for twrp to work.

12b and below, you can just use flashify to flash the twrp img once rooted.

Ok so first command I typo'd something and got no such file or directory, fixed it and got this:

65537+0 records in

65537+0 records out

3355432 bytes transferred in 2.832 secs (11848316 bytes/sec)

Second command I got the no such file or directory error, so I typed it in again making dead sure I did not typo and got the same result. Not sure if that means I lost a vital recovery file somewhere in the process of things, but we shall see. Going to reboot the phone and see if I can get into download mode now. Much thanks again for the help.
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
its not going to work. the first command wiped the laf partition clean.

you put the laf file on your internal storage not in a folder correct?
[General Questions and Answers] Raptorteeth:
Thank you for your reply. I see. I was tested with an IQ of 129 when i was 13 and now i'm too messed up mentally to just think logically.

The reason why it has not worked was because THERE IS NO SDCARD in the phone. There has to be a physical SD card inserted into the phone if i want to install Android 5.1.1 Lollipop right?

Any recommendations as to which SD card i should buy ?
[General Questions and Answers] k3ttle:
Well let me back up here a sec. I only put AutoRec on because I originally could not access the download mode to just do the downgrade on the phone before rooting. I read a post somewhere someone said installing AutoRec gave them access to the Download mode function, so I did that and that worked for me as well. I was on stock FW and stock Android 5.0.1 at that point.

So I got rooted, got TWRP, and was on a stock 4.4.2 ROM after following the guide for using the LG Flash tool to downgrade.

Then at that point I started getting lost in the tuts to flash to a custom ROM, so I thought ok no biggie I will just follow the guide to get back to stock as the guide touted that you could easily unroot/unbrick with that method, so I was just going to do the procedure over again, get back to stock 4.4.2 and just let the carrier OTA take it from there.

But now that I have TWRP. I can't access download mode. When I reboot my phone holding volume up and plug the usb cable in, it just shows me the battery charging status now instead of going to into Download mode. If I could just flash everything back to stock from TWRP I would but I don't know how and have not as of yet found instructions how I can do that (probably can't but I as I said I have gotten lost now).

Currently I am TWRP 2.8.3.0, rooted, and running the Cloudy G3 ROM. I was thinking I would just roll with it, but my phone is stuck in data roaming and I feel I am way in over my head now, so I was planning to just go back to stock and leave it at that.

Update: Rebooted after running the terminal commands, the first one worked the second one said no such file or directory, but on reboot I still can't get into the Download mode. I figure if I can just get to the download mode I can just put everything back to stock using the downgrade guide I first used, but if there is another way to flash the stock firmware and bootloader using TWRP I am all ears. I am just trying to follow what little I have grasped thus far. Thanks again!
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
btw, its very very important you dont typo these lines. especially the second one.

your fine on this partition, but in the future NEVER reboot after a failed dd command. whatever partition you wiped will be empty and could result in a soft or hard brick depending on what you wiped.

I don't know, I followed the TOT method guide using the LG Flash Tool, not sure where the file actually went. I can link to the guide once I reply enough times but the forum software won't let me post it till I hit 10 replies.

Whoops! Well I got lucky, still can't access download mode, but I was able to reboot back to the Cloudy G3 ROM ok. So I am still pretty much where I was.

Man I wish I would have just not done this, I obviously I am not versed enough in Android dev to be playing around.

[General Questions and Answers] Dave520:
Actually, I did do that, thinking it might give me some clues, but it shows my touches as they should be... nothing out of the ordinary far as I can tell. When I touch any place on the screen, it shows it... so that makes me think its not a screen issue.. However, the very top of my screen, as in the top 1-2 cm stopped responding about a month ago, to where I cannot pull down my notifications or quick settings unless a notification pops up, THEN it will let me drag it down. Otherwise, it wont work, and pretty much is a dead spot. Perhaps that has something to do with it, but I dont see how?

Thanks for the input regardless.

i may be able to help if i can read about the process.
[General Questions and Answers] k3ttle:
Ok I see what I did wrong, I had to take your link out so I could reply, and then I didn't go back to your post I read my reply, bad on me.

OK, I downloaded the laf file you linked, I put it on the root of my internal storage, I ran both commands you listed in the terminal emulator and got feedback of bits being moved around successfully for BOTH commands, so I got that accomplished.

So now I am gonna calm down and wait for instructions before jumping ahead. Do I reboot now to try to access the download mode or are there further steps? Thanks again!

this is probably not necessary, but first do a standard reboot, then shut it off and try to enter dl mode.
[General Questions and Answers] k3ttle:
OK, I powered it off, rebooted standard, powered off again, tried to hold vol up while plugging the USB, still no download mode, just shows the battery charge screen you get when the phone isn't booted to Android.

I don't see the LPT-COM device in Windows device manager, guessing that is the reason I can't use the LG Flash tool to push the stock files back onto it, just to give some more details on the issue. Surprisingly the tool I downloaded from the installer mode USB connection sees the phone now with the Cloudy on it, and it didn't see it with the stock 4.4.2 but I wasn't about to try using it on a modded FW and ROM, but I have that tool if it helps. Probably not, just some more details on the issue. Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] k3ttle:
Correct, I started off with a stock 5.0.1 that came on the phone, so with no root access I had no way to back up the factory ROM and FW so I only have a backup of the 4.4.2 ROM which is probably pointless since I pushed those files to the phone with the LG Flash tool in the first place.

[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
ok, i see whats going on here now.

the reason they say to put it on your sd card is because when you do the factory data reset the file would be deleted before you installed it if it was on your phone.

there is 2 ways around this,

1. (not recommended) flash the rom and gapps if needed first, then wipe before rebooting. the only problem with this solution is, if the flash fails, you may be stuck in recovery with no os.

2. instead of doing the factory reset as they suggest, use "advanced wipe" in twrp, wipe cache, dalvic cach, system, and data. do not! wipe internal storage. this should clean the phone but leave your rom file to flash there.

the file shouldnt get deleted, but if you want to play it safe, you can flash the rom first, then wipe cache's and data, but do not wipe system after the flash or you will wipe off the os.

I would first try wiping the cache partition in case the problem is being caused by the upgrade from KitKat.

VS980 (VZW LG G2) conundrum

I'm trying to get tsunamical's Euphoria mod on my VS980 that has never had a custom ROM on it. I've done lots of research over the last few weeks, trying to make this go as smoothly as I can, but of course plenty of unexpected problems have cropped up.

Here's what I've done so far:

1. Rooted from 39A (5.0.2) using Unjustified_Dev's method

2. Used AutoRec Lollipop to install TWRP, made a nandroid backup.

2. Read some suggestions that it's best to make sure GPS is working decently before flashing a ROM. My GPS was failing miserably, so I followed a suggestion I saw to flash 11A with the LG Flash Tool.

3. After that, GPS was working significantly better, so I rooted again with the same method.

Now I'm trying to figure out how to get TWRP on the phone, but each instruction set I find seems to be missing a piece of information that seems like it could be very important, and I'm trying to be careful. In trying to figure that out, I did some reading about Loki and Bump, and I'm now under the impression that since I'm on the Jellybean bootloader at the moment, I have to use Loki to install TWRP. But the instructions for flashing tsunamical's ROM say to install blastagator's bumped TWRP and the Lollipop bootstack before flashing the ROM. My current bootloader doesn't support bump, so how do I get blastagator's TWRP on the phone?

I could try using the LG Flash Tool to KDZ/TOT KitKat onto the phone, re-root and go from there, but I'd be taking the risk that GPS won't be working as well on that ROM version, and then I'd have to KDZ/TOT and root all over again and be back where I am now.

Maybe this is a really dumb question and I just don't understand the Bump/Loki/Bootloader deal, but I'm at the point where the risks don't seem calculated or reasonable anymore, so I'm asking the experts.
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Tablets are bigger in size which makes more room for a bigger battery but phones are smaller in size and thus come with a small battery. It's obviously that a tablet's standby time would be much more than a phone's, and ROM has little to do with it.
[General Questions and Answers] bigbabo:
I agree with that so is there a way to have the phone read whole capacity of zerolemon battery instead of 4300 of what ever it is reading i tried calibrating and it still doesnt show full value zero lemon is 10000 mah stock battery is 3200 so when i put stock or zerolemon battery and open calibration app it shows same value for both thus making me belive its not reading whole 10000 mah it should show at least double and then some if stock is 4300 zerolemon should show 8600+
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
At first I didn't have a clue of what you're taking about.

But I did a google search and now I see.

I have actually seen a video review of zerolemon case for iPhone sometime ago and if I remember correctly then it's basically a case that has a battery of it's own and attached speakers.

The reason(according to me) that the phone still shows the stock capacity is because the way it works, the case keeps charging your phone, think of it as a power bank that's always attached to your phone.

But the phone can only measure the stock battery, that's why to only see stock capacity.
