This is honestly why I still use TWRP 2.5.0.0. The only 4.4 rom that will flash with that however is [MENTION=517347]siulmagic[/MENTION] 's AOSP 4.4 port because houstonn disabled the SELinux changes in his original geeb rom. All the other 4.4 roms have to be flashed with updated twrp(as you all know). But Ive honestly been flashing updated TWRP, installing the rom and gapps, playing around with it, then going back to TWRP 2.5.0.0 and restoring my backup. The updated TWRP's scare the crap out of me, lol. I also talked to [MENTION=4003363]xboxfanj[/MENTION] about how to disable SELinux and he explained it's pretty easy, you can just edit the updater-script, but my attention has been so scattered lately between work, home, the bootanimation contest and trying to help others that I never went back to it.

From the main man himself
[Sprint LG Optimus G] signal34:
Looks like what happened to me was different. I used Quickboot to reboot to TWRP it requested a password for the first time - I never even knew that was an option. I just hit Cancel and got to the normal TWRP menus. However, anytime I tried to wipe, backup, install or try any functions it would always fail.

I rebooted a couple more times into Recovery using both Quickboot and via the Power Button menu, and each time TWRP requested a password to enter. Finally, I just entered the bootloader and did the steps I mentioned above and was never asked for a password by TWRP again. All functionality returned.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
The SELinux has just came out for the KK Rom's though. spleef's issue happened pre-KK-2.6.??. So the whole 2.6.?? series seems to be our issue. To bad most of our Rom's don't work well with CWM and it's variations.

Good luck on the contest. :good:

Interesting. And it seems your problem was almost the same as theirs. Maybe you just got lucky. BTW, which version of TWRP are/were you using?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Oh I know, I wasn't talking about a solution/possible cause, simply stating that I still use TWRP 2.5.0.0 because the updated TWRP's have had issues and I wish all the 4.4 roms could just be flashed from 2.5.0.0 - and with a little tweaking you can flash 4.4 from 2.5.0.0. ;) And thanks buddy! Hand drawing my animation has been so time consuming......:highfive:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Gotcha. Yup...my mind isn't working quite right, so I'm out after this. I'll have to see if I have some time, and my head is clear, in the next couple days and try what you and xboxfanj mentioned.

Just use that animation you made for DE 5.0. It's pretty slick.

TWRP-chadouming-4.4&4.3 v2.6.3.0
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Ha ha if only I could! But the contest is for AOKP, I want a new nexus device! ;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] askmeonemore:
So this only happens with TWRP?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Yep and only the TWRP 2.6.x series as far as I know.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] askmeonemore:
ah. im on CWM is why i was asking
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
I hope this problem gets figured out sometime soon. It sounds so scary and so far, it seems to be happening only to us (Correct me if I'm wrong). So like, does this happen when flashing TWRPs? Or when flashing ROMs? Or does it just strike randomly?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Me too dude, I think it is an lgog/twrp issue because I haven't heard about it from anyone else. Im not sure how it actually happens but have been nervous about 2.6.x since spleef went down because of it. If hazed went down on the newer one I guess I wasn't being paranoid. It's a shame because overall I prefer TWRP to CWM.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
I have the same issue as u!!!!! I'm about to try that!! Pleeeaasse I hope it works??????
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
I think it happened when I disabled f-sync or the thing that's like it. And that's what's causes all this ****.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] signal34:
Crossing my fingers for you bud! Just an FYI, I had to do it a couple times before it worked. I booted up and powered down normally a few times as well.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
About how much times?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
u got this pass right?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] signal34:
All said and done, about 5-6 times.

Yup. That's when I hit Cancel which took me into TWRP w/o functionality. Powered up/shut down normally a couple times, entered bootloader a couple times, then suddenly I was back in TWRP without the password nag.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
It didn't work.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] signal34:
That royally sucks....I wish I could offer something else, but that's all I got.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
I might just go and buy a broken one and swap internals
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
So, what happens when you try to LGNPST back to stock? And keep trying, [MENTION=3992209]hazedabeast[/MENTION]. Just keep booting into recovery and fastboot and all that stuff. Maybe an anomaly will happen and you can get past this!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
Ya I'll keep trying. And when I do lgnpst I get a error
[Sprint LG Optimus G] askmeonemore:
What error and at what %
[Sprint LG Optimus G] NightMare870:
this has happened to me before, I powered off and rebooted the phone a bunch of times then finally i was able to get into twrp without that coming up
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
if i change my recovery would that fix it?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
Worth a shot. Give it a go
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Whiplashh:
I was just about to ask if you tried switching Recoverys?

Running beautifully with the AOSP F93 v0.4 kernel from geehrc :)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
80 something
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
im glad u like it
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Hmmm, LGNPST is done at 85%. When I used it, it went to 85% and gave me an error however, it worked. The running joke here on the forum is that 85% means 100% in Korean, lol.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] askmeonemore:
may be a dumb question but you did try (after it errored) to hold power and vol down while booting then wipe data/factory reset
[Sprint LG Optimus G] x_justin:
I've had this before after flashing teeny bin. Keeps asking for a password, even when flashing another recovery or even when flashing a stock rom with LGPSTN, it even asks a password when entering the rom. It's due to encrypted storage, it's a decrypting password.

How to fix?

- Enter recovery, ignore the password. You have some options left. Choose for mounts and storage and format sns. Everything will be lost, the WHOLE sd card will be formatted, including all pictures etc. Reboot recovery and everything is back to normal.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
Yo [MENTION=3992209]hazedabeast[/MENTION], try this out! You too, [MENTION=1880287]spleef[/MENTION]. I know you have another OG, but would you mind trying this out on your old one, if you still have it lying around
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
What's sns
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
I believe it's just another name for sd card. Saw this thread here.

I also think this is what Dees_Troy said to me that I passed onto you the other day [MENTION=3992209]hazedabeast[/MENTION]. But as always, could be wrong.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
I don't see sd card
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spleef:
Pulled phone out the drawer has to charge but just trying to get into recovery isn't working anymore... With phone off I'm holding volume up and pressing power button... Goes into the normal screen that shows your unlocked where you can cycle modes boot loader/recovery.. But the usual bar you would cycle through isn't there no option to get to recovery or anything... Any ideas or button combos to get to recovery ?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
See underneath where it says internal storage? Click on that and it should be highlighted. Since we don't have a removable sd card, sdcard/internal storage are the same thing.

Wiping and picking internal storage from advanced or clicking on format data next to advanced wipe should do the same thing?

EDIT: I know that's not the screen you're on currently but when you get to the formatting part - I'd probably do both just to be thorough.

---------- Post added at 03:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

If the bar is gone that shows your options, volume down twice then power should get you into recovery. Before I did the mako unlock I remember having to do it blind that way so to speak.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
I had same issue just let it charge for a sec then use the combo to get into bootloader. And from there u click volume down 2 time and press power the give it a sec and u should be there.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spleef:
Yeah am in recovery now but in the mounts says decrypt data and only system and cache appear internal storage at bottom says 0mb and can't Mount it keeps pulling up PW field to decrypt
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Talking to Dees the other day, you mount all available options, internal should be underneath and when you click on it it should be highlighted. Once they are mounted, format data next to advanced wipe then advanced wipe everything. Reboot to TWRP and password should be gone, your data partition once formatted(including /data/media - internal storage) should no longer be encrypted.

I can't say it will work because Ive never tried it and you will lose everything, but this was his advice also some nexus4 and nexus5 users fixed the same issue this way.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spleef:
That's the problem though it won't Mount anything at all even if you go to fine manager all files empty.... Try to using any wiping options tells you can't Mount cache can't mount system data storage
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Alright, I'm hopping onto irc and seeing if I can get a hold of him. I shall return, hopefully with good news.....

EDIT: And to be precise he only said(as did the nexus threads) to format the entire data partition which they said you could still do from twrp after cancelling the password....
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spleef:
few pics of what im talking about...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Yeah I see what you mean, did you reboot recovery after that "successful" data format? Since it wasn't mounted I doubt it worked but who knows? Im currently in the twrp channel waiting for a reply.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spleef:
yeah rebooted recovery but like you said it didnt do anything reboot asks for pw cancel everything totally locked
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Yeah I figured but have seen stranger things in my life......as soon as I know something I will get back to you guys. Anyone who has any experience with irc knows it may take them awhile but they will answer eventually. Everyone is so busy these days, lol.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spleef:
NP ty for trying have had many people trying to figure it out so far only thing I've found was to buy a cracked screen phone that's not bricked and swap the guts or screen
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
I'm getting exact issue
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
This is from our irc chat:

[16:43] <@Dees_Troy> when password prompts hit cancel, press wipe, find the button for format data, type yes when prompted and hit the enter key on the keyboard

[16:43] <@Dees_Troy> if that doesn't fix it then flash stock via LG's download mode, if that doesn't fix it, sorry, you're hosed. Sell the phone for parts and buy something else.

[16:43] <@Dees_Troy> odds are it can be fixed

[16:44] <@Dees_Troy> if not then your emmc chip died

[16:44] <@Dees_Troy> that's rare, but it does happen now and then

EDIT: I wish I had better news - I know sometimes when 'jtag' doesn't work the emmc chip needs to be replaced, the cheapest I've seen that service is $150. Sorry guys, I was definitely hoping for you both. If you figure anything else out, let us know.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spleef:
Won't format data tried that one showed pic.... Lgnpst won't wipe it either says something about master bin a partition number... Yeah like I thought boned.. Only fix I've been ankle to dig up was the one I posted few ago with the cracked screen phone with working guts... Or as Dee's Troy says sell it for parts
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Sorry guys, I definitely tried. I'll continue using TWRP 2.5.0.0 and modify the 4.4 updater scripts from the roms I download to flash with that - 2.5 is rock solid - between both of your issues, 2.6.x scares the crap out of me.

UPDATE: Following [MENTION=4003363]xboxfanj[/MENTION]'s instructions I have just flashed an old OMNI 4.4.1 and the most recent Vanir 4.4.2 with TWRP 2.5.0.0. It's easy but a little time consuming. ;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
So I guess I won't be using this phone anymore. But I'll still be doing development for this phone
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
:( This is a sad day.....spleef's broken screen option sounds viable and probably cheap if you can find one though. Also because you are still developing for us, one of my roomates has been unhappy with his lgog(he came from an iphone and knows nothing about computers), so if he gets another phone, he was gonna give me his lgog to play around with. If/when that happens, it's yours bro.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
Holy **** you would really do that?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
F*ck yeah! It doesn't weigh much so shipping would be cheap. I offered [MENTION=2351398]iamterence[/MENTION] the vaio laptop I'm currently using once I get my new one, and that would have cost more to ship. Although since he declined I think Im gonna turn it into an XBMCbuntu dedicated media server. It still runs well for being 6 years old but it's 32 bit so I can't build with it(or play my gamecube emulator without it skipping).

So yeah I would totally do that, I can't give you an eta but I will let you know as soon as he switches phones. And I'm sure he will because he likes the simplicity of iphone, pretty sure he's gonna go back. So many of you guys build roms for us with zero payment in return - it's my way of giving back. Just how I was raised man. ;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
You guys never fail to amaze me in proving just how generous and caring our little LGOG community is :) This place of ours is definitely more than just people posting on a forum, it almost feels like we're a family :D

Back on topic, it's a real bummer that this problem is pretty much a certain death for our phones :( I still don't understand, though. What exactly causes this problem? I wish there were some brave souls who could narrow this problem down and get it figured out :/ Although I think I did see something here about the emmc chip dying which butt****s everything. :(
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Yeah that's what Dees_Troy said in irc. And I know that if you brick your phone, and the 'jtag' service doesn't work, it's usually because your emmc chip is fried. It may just be coincidence that it happened on TWRP 2.6.3.x but I'm not taking any chances. Just flashed the latest Vanir build with 2.5.0.0 by modifying the updater script so I am sticking with 2.5 from now on.

---------- Post added at 09:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 PM ----------

And this community is the number one reason why I don't care to get a G2 no matter how good the specs are.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] FcoEnrique:
Exactly! a powerful and beautiful phone + a great community, you don't need more! :good: :D
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Absolutely, if it can play gta san andreas, it's powerful enough for me, lol. And the community is just too good for words. I bought this phone because of the specs and because it was on sale - but the community here at xda was the best bonus I could ever ask for.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
Same here :)

So 2.5 is good it doesn't have this issue?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
I don't want to sound like a hobo but thanks!!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
As far as I know. Everyone this has happened to has been on TWRP 2.6.x. However, if it is a bad emmc chip, it may just be a coincidence that it happened on updated TWRP, I'm really not sure. Honestly just being overly cautious but 2.5.0.0 has been rock solid in all respects for me.

---------- Post added at 12:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 AM ----------

Ha ha - I hope I don't make ya feel like a hobo, not my intention. We all need a little help sometimes, you help all of us who either can't or don't know how to build. Karma rocks my friend. ;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
We can't use clockworkmod
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Cwm 6.0.4.5 seems to be solid for 4.4 for us so far actually. I just prefer TWRP.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Dustin7892:
Tried with TWRP, failed. Installed CWM and installed like a charm. Couple bugs here and there, like no GPS and the camera is uuuuuultra slow and laggy. Besides that its pretty solid.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
I could flash any rom with cwm?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Not 100% on that but I think so. People have reported better success with that than TWRP as of late.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
But twrp is pretty risky.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Yeah it is but I have yet to hear about your or spleef's issue from anyone on 2.5. Since I know how to modify the updater-scripts to flash 4.4 on 2.5, I'm good. But with CWM, some people report failed flashes on TWRP, then try CWM and it flashes fine. I think it has to do with which twrp and the asserts in the updater-script. I won't use TWRP 2.6.x for any reason though because of your issue(and spleef's).
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
Smart choice
[Sprint LG Optimus G] FcoEnrique:
So, do you guys recommend CWM over TWRP ... I really like it more since when I had my old LG optimus Black.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
My recommendation is CWM 6.0.4.5 - I THINK it will flash everything fine - 4.4 and lower. My personal preference is TWRP 2.5.0.0 because I prefer TWRP to CWM and as I stated earlier, I can modify the 4.4 roms to flash with it - they won't normally. Since most people want the latest and greatest, CWM is definitely safer than TWRP from everything Ive read on here.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] FcoEnrique:
Really helpful answer. :good:

where can I found 6.0.4.5 flashable non touch? :l
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spleef:
Download ROM manager from play store install it's recovery through it
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Yep, what he said, there may also be a link in [MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION] 's root, unlock guide, he's good at keeping up to date on that stuff. And ty for appreciating my answer, lol, I've been off of work the last few days and have read through lgog threads until my eyes felt like they were bleeding. So I can't say it will flash everything from experience because I used it once. From everything I've red though, that's my answer. ;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
In the root guide OP, under working recoveries, is the link to Shelnutt's KK recoveries. CWM is at 6.0.4.6 now.

Thanks, and give yourself a break. ;)

BTW....Some of the older ROMs don't seem to like CWM. But at least we can flash recoveries to find the one that works.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
This is why I mention you buddy. If anyone would know, it's you. And yeah I need a break, time to try this sleep thing I've heard so much about. Maybe cue up some Bob Ross "The Joy of Painting" - that dude's voice really makes him like a human quaalude.........

Okay so I have been running this ROM for about a week and I must say I really like it although I have some problems with it, the first is it keeps rebooting on me randomly and this happens usually 2-3 times a day off of normal use and is really annoying. Does anyone else have the same problem and/or a fix to it? And I also get poor data connection with it which usually wont let me call people at times. The phone issue is also a major annoyance because I will try to call someone and it will either be stuck at dialing or zero and I will either have to reboot or just give it time. This never happened to me on the stock LG ROM. Plus my camera sucks really bad on this ROM so does the camera fix posted in the thread work? It seemed a little difficult but I could do it, I just want to make sure before I try it. Thanks.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
I've been running this ROM for a week, almost 2 weeks myself, and the only problem I share with you are the random reboots. They don't happen too often to me, but they do happen. Other than that, everything's been solid as solid can be for me.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
Hopefully the next update will have the rebooot issue fixes... And the camera is a always bad on aosp rom

[Sprint LG Optimus G] ggoomani:
I am contemplating using this rom (coming from a Nexus 5) since it seems to have the best chance to replicate the Nexus 5 experience. CM 11 seems to still have on-going issues with data, gps, and random reboots.... After rooting and flashing roms since 2010, I am honestly tired of experimenting and having to deal with bugs and issues.

Is this rom a relatively stable daily driver? Or, am I still better off to stay with stock and avoid reading xda forums several times day. Back in my Galaxy S and HTC One days, it was a hobby of mine to keep track of changes and try new roms... but it is getting tiresome. :)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
This ROM is as stock and stable as can be. Ran it as a daily driver for almost two months, and only changed it because I was getting bored, lol. But otherwise, its amazing. Great battery life, and great performance.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ggoomani:
Appreciate the advice. I am planning to try this rom as soon as the phone arrives tomorrow. I figured it would be better to install from the start and not bother getting used to the stock UI.
