It is about patience, which is why you thought it froze instead of saying it took longer than expected. If you like your previous phone, stick with that. If you want to compare apples to oranges, you're in the wrong place.

I do have an answer, but you seem to have CWM pegged, so I'll leave you with this: Again, you need to use the

correct

search criteria in Google... Good luck.
[G2 Android Development] Uqbar:
ZIP file please

Why bothering with terminal emulator and typing commands on a touch screen, when all we need is a ZIP file to go to CWM from TWRP?

I don't really get the point, but it's surely me to be the dumb one!:p
[G2 Android Development] HaruSoul:
After I run the flash-recovery.bat my phone goes through the process and it reboots into recovery. At that point the screen turns black and starts running a script which pauses on fastboo:processing commands, am I just that impatient? It has been on this for over 10 minutes and I feel like this normally completes in seconds.

EDIT: nvm I wasnt flashing the att version
[G2 Android Development] wwfc:
Hey. Stuck in a boot loop. CWM installed fine. Tried to install CM10.2 and it got stuck when installing and now i can't even hard boot into recovery. Help?
[G2 Android Development] Heatshiver:
[MENTION=1966251]Uqbar[/MENTION] - How do you flash a ZIP file without a TWRP recovery? Oddly enough, I was considering making some ZIP files for those who already have a recovery... Will post for people to try once I have.

[MENTION=3148599]wwfc[/MENTION] - I don't believe this is really a CWM issue, but try holding down the power button. The phone will turn off, but

keep holding the power button

. The LG logo should flash for a second before the phone turns off again. Now that the phone is completely off, go through the steps to boot into recovery as normal.
[G2 Android Development] Uqbar:
I have TWRP and would like to install CWM. This is why I would like to get a ZIP file...oddly enough!
[G2 Android Development] Heatshiver:
Well, I won't be making any right now. Maybe tomorrow. Just follow the OP and install CWM. You don't need a ZIP file to install CWM or TWRP.
[G2 Android Development] Uqbar:
Well, my English needs to be quite poor, really!
[G2 Android Development] pigmich:
I want to ask is this CWM version can be touch OTA USB devices or not? coz I have flash the touch version but it was no reponse in recovery when I pluged my USB disk with the OTG cable .
[G2 Android Development] Heatshiver:
[MENTION=4097427]pigmich[/MENTION] - I have never tried, so I don't know. What variant are you using and are you using the official or non-official version? I know it works in my TWRP version... [MENTION=1966251]Uqbar[/MENTION] - I will try to make the ZIP files in a couple hours, will keep you posted. Cercherò di rendere i file ZIP in un paio d'ore, vi terremo aggiornati.

Bravo!
[G2 Android Development] Daniel:
So when wipe/data factory reset, i have to wait at least 10mins or more? lol

I just want to know if it's possible to flash roms on the Tmobile G2.

I'm far from a noob, just curious, I don't have the phone!

[G2 Android Development] Heatshiver:
No worries. The thread you are linking to is for a TWRP recovery, not a CWM recovery. It is definitely possible to flash ROMs on a TMO variant! In fact, I just made a flashable ZIP for the TMO TWRP recovery on my TWRP thread.

[G2 Android Development] arieljannai:
Hey,

I didn't noticed that before flashing, but my clock is just not ticking right. Could it be as a result from the cwm?

I tried using ClockSync to check if the deviation is fixed, but it's not. Sometimes my clock is slow by 1-3 minutes from the actual time, and sometimes it's hurry by the same deviation.

Someone else also experienced it?

Thanks!

Ariel
[G2 Android Development] Heatshiver:
This should not affect your ROM. I have actually never heard of the tick deviation ever being thrown off on an android device. What is your source for an actual time? It would be normal if you were asking if the CWM time is off, but as far as the ROM, I believe this would be a different issue...
[G2 Android Development] WhyS:
Out of all the formatting options, which ones can I actually use? I don't want to do anything harmful but I do want to clear up as much space as possible before going over to CM. The LG Rom takes up almost 5 gb and I'm hopeful I'll get more space available on CM. Especially since I have the 16 gb version.
[G2 Android Development] Heatshiver:
To be honest, there is not a lot you can do to capture any space back. You'll notice that flashing any ROM (small or big) does not regain large amounts of space... This is not a problem just for us as this is apparent on other devices like the SGS4 as well.

The best you can do (easily) to free up space is delete APKs you do not use or need after you have flashed a new ROM. However, this still won't give you a large amount of space. If you want room for images, video, and games you can consider buying the Meenova device. There is a much cheaper version (with less waiting time) from here that I have heard good things about. You can then get the space you need (and likely be able to use it on future phones).

However, if this is a matter of performance, you may want to consider a "light" ROM. I'll toot my own horn and suggest one of my two ROMs...
[G2 Android Development] Heatshiver:
I have just updated the OP with a wipe cache fix! I did quite a few tests and it seems to work well! Give it a try and post some feedback of your experience with what variant.
[G2 Android Development] hill67:
Hi,

I was also fed up with with the wipe cache thing so i went looking on the internet to fix this.

I stumbled into this file: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23185166327349270

I downloaded the file and unpacked it. I connected my LG G2 D802 to my computer and run the file flash-recovery within the package.

I got the same message as in the op and also some weird numbers and letters but in the end my phone booted into CWM-based recovery v6.0.4.4 (i attached a picture of it)

I did a wipe cache and it just took about 1-2 seconds......:good:

View attachment 2388306

Thanks to the developer Xiaolu!!
[G2 Android Development] Heatshiver:
Hahahaha, awesome. That is definitely Xiaolu's work. That is actually the file from this very thread! That is my hosting! Nice find though, I didn't think it would matter if I used his over the official, but I guess it does. Will update the OP with that info. Good job!
[G2 Android Development] Heatshiver:
I have uploaded D802 (updated), F320K, F320L, and F320S CWM recoveries!
[G2 Android Development] Uqbar:
Touch ZIPs?

It's not clear whether the ZIPs are for the touch version. Previous ones were not.
[G2 Android Development] Heatshiver:
[MENTION=1966251]Uqbar[/MENTION] - Any file that I upload that is not meant to be flashed with recovery (or Flashify) is a RAR file. The ZIPs are all noted as official touch versions in the OP, except for the F320K - which is semi-touch. I can make a ZIP file for the unofficial D802 and F320K English versions - if anyone shows interest - since they do not have the wipe cache bug...
[G2 Android Development] Uqbar:
I am among the ones coming from TWRP and asking for a ZIP for an easy flash. The one I have got at that time (when you first published it) for my D802 has no touch feature at all, which conflicts with what you say in the OP:
[G2 Android Development] citronbitare:
Flashable zip-file for the unofficial D802-recovery would be great. Thanks in advance!
[G2 Android Development] Heatshiver:
[MENTION=2506515]citronbitare[/MENTION] - As requested, the D802 unofficial is now a ZIP!
[MENTION=1966251]Uqbar[/MENTION] - The unofficial versions are semi-touch, you can scroll by touch and use the soft keys. The official versions come in non-touch or touch.

BIG NEWS: The unofficial versions not only DO NOT HAVE WIPE CACHE BUG, but they also have USB-OTG SUPPORT!
[G2 Android Development] citronbitare:
Awesome!
[G2 Android Development] tczhang:
I have downloaded the unofficial D802 version and flashed it from TWRP recovery. However, I found it is semi-touch version instead of touch version.

4) Download the ZIP file if flashing from TWRP: Official - D802, ATT, VZW Unofficial - D802, F320K

What I need is touch version with cache fix and OTG support. Where can I find it? Both English and Chinese versions are fine with me.

Thanks.
[G2 Android Development] Heatshiver:
I have uploaded unofficial English versions for F320L/S!

[MENTION=3795928]tczhang[/MENTION] - I have not seen one with what you want that is official. You'll need to contact CWM directly and ask them to include those options for you in their official recovery images.

For everyone, I understand that having an unofficial, full-touch version sounds like the best; but when I read people complain that the semi-touch is not full-touch, I honestly think I am reading complaints from VERY lazy people. Seriously, it takes the same amount of energy and touch ability to press the soft buttons instead of the actual option. Scrolling is the same. The only difference is having to scroll to the correct option...
[G2 Android Development] tczhang:
Hi, I don't know how you took it as complaint. Maybe I misunderstood your words but it's only kind of confirmation. I don't think such not nice words can help you keep the thread more active.

No offensive, but this is the first time I saw dev talking this way.

Good luck.
[G2 Android Development] robogo1982:
Installed without a hitch, cheers :)
[G2 Android Development] Heatshiver:
[MENTION=4001235]robogo1982[/MENTION] - Nice! Glad to hear it.

[MENTION=3795928]tczhang[/MENTION] - That was a message to everyone (as stated) since I have had this question raised in PMs and otherwise, but I can see how you took it personally. Your comment merely prompted me to state that message.

But honestly, your post is a complaint, even if stated somewhat nicely:

"However, I found it is semi-touch version instead of touch version." Using the word "instead" implies you are complaining. You are complaining that it is semi-touch instead of full-touch. You are not

requesting

a full touch, which is different from complaining.

If you are not complaining then that means you are satisfied with the semi-touch? But you are not satisfied with the semi-touch, and people who are unsatisfied complain (e.g. stating that they want more features when the product available isn't broken and doesn't hinder any productive functionality).

Saying that you "need" a full-touch version adds to the idea that you are complaining, because no one

needs

a full-touch version, they want it. This can be interpreted as a demand, which is disrespectful.

You also take the word "complaint" as purely negative (as most people justifiably do). While complaints are negative by nature, they don't have to be. If you had wrote something like, "My one complaint is that I wish it was full-touch, is there any chance it will be in the future?" I likely would have reacted differently.

Maybe your English isn't up to snuff, but that would be an excuse considering your grasp of the language. Plenty of people from here speak less English than you and don't write in this manner.

Devs talk like this when they are annoyed by laziness, being asked questions users can find by just searching, complaining, etc. I have seen this in several XDA posts, but I have read a lost of posts so maybe that's why. I am not looking to make a thread more active, just provide downloads for people.

I take a lot of time to help support people through threads and PMs. I have never asked for thanks, and I don't expect any. But I do expect people to not be extremely lazy or complain about things that don't truly matter.

If you choose to reply, please do so over PM, or - at the very least - put your comments in a hidden box like I have. I don't want my thread cluttered with arguments or about things that are not related to this thread. If you choose to post with a hidden box, I will request that your posts be taken from the thread.

The advice I gave you about the recovery you "need" still stands as good advice...
[G2 Android Development] Phoost:

[G2 Android Development] silverstorm:
Can I ask out of interest, for those who have switched from TWRP to CWM, why you have decided to flash CWM?

Is there any advantage of one over the other?
[G2 Android Development] jaynkc:
Hey will any of your cwm recoveries work with the d803 twrp I think is giving me some issues
[G2 Android Development] Heatshiver:
[MENTION=5070801]Phoost[/MENTION] - This setup should note require that file, it should work without it. [MENTION=339694]silverstorm[/MENTION] - At this point in time, it is really just a matter of preference. EDIT: TWRP can flash up to 10 ZIPs at once. [MENTION=5190638]jaynkc[/MENTION] - I don't believe any of these have been tested for the D803. You're best bet would be the D800. The D802 could work, but I'm much more doubtful. Send me a PM and with your issues and we'll see what we can do.
[G2 Android Development] liquidnails:

[G2 Android Development] Heatshiver:
[MENTION=4412933]liquidnails[/MENTION] - I believe this question was asked before, but my reply was something to the effect of it is not meant for the D801, but no one has tested it to confirm otherwise... [MENTION=1966251]Uqbar[/MENTION] - Good catch! I changed the OP because the way I wrote it was not clear, the unofficial versions do have USB-OTG. How to access USB-OTG in the recovery is in the OP. [MENTION=4437825]Gemms[/MENTION] - Here you go. [MENTION=2876912]Barsky[/MENTION] - Not at the moment, but will check into, time allowing. [MENTION=4576704]marshygeek[/MENTION] - The ZIPs are all in #4 of PREREQUISITES. I did create any Non-Touch ZIPs, there are only Semi-Touch (unofficial, and best to use) or Full-Touch (official) ZIPs. But if you want Non-Touch ZIPs, let me know and I can make them all by tomorrow...
[G2 Android Development] marshygeek:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] watswidme:
Since I can't post on the original android development thread. I'll ask here.

I'm a noob on all of these rooting and custom roming however I did manage to unlock my bootloader, flash TWRP 2.6.0.0, have root access via Superuser, S-OFF and finally flash Android 4.2.2 Sense 5-5.08.111.2 stock ROM by Turge on my ATT device running JB 3.18 (HBOOT 2.14).

I love the stock rom however I'm having problems such as signal drops throughout the day, random reboots and no signal when I wake up everyday for the past 3 days.

I know the solution is to flash Kernel and update firmware - which is explicitly stated on Turge's thread, which leads me to my questions:

1) What does firmware updating do to my device? I'm pretty clear on what happens when you flash Kernel.

2) Assuming I was able to update firmware (including HBOOT to 2.15?) and Kernel, Would I still be able to revert back before messing with them? Would creating a nandroid backup before updating and restoring that nandroid backup be able to revert them back pre update w/o issues (or bricking)?

3) Lastly, I made an original nandroid backup while still Android 3.18 w/ Sense 4 (my very first nandroid backup) before flashing Sense 5. Assuming I updated firmware and Kernel while on Sense 5, Would restoring the original nandroid backup allow me to restore back to Sense 4 w/o issues (or bricking)?

Hope someone would take time to respond! Thanks! :cowboy:

You might get more responses if this was in the question thread. Mod please move this to the correct area.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
1. The firmware update will update the hboot, radio, and some WiFi and media modules.

2. You can revert using the 3.18 RUU, this will return you to the 2.14 hboot, stock recovery, and stock Sense 4 ROM.

2b. A nandroid backup doesn't backup the partition that is updated by a firmware package. It only backs up the OS/data/boot partitions, so restoring a backup won't change your firmware, use the RUU as suggested above if you need to revert.

3. Restoring your backup will return you to the Sense 4 ROM. Like I mentioned above though it will not change your firmware.

You are s-off so the chance of bricking while running an RUU is minimal. There is always a small chance of bricking no matter what you're doing, whether it be flashing a ROM/kernel, changing hboot (higher risk), flashing a radio, running an RUU. With your current setup, you have no greater risk than anyone else though.

PS. Questions go in the q&a section (for future reference).

I had the same exact issue. I did the easiest thing first - flashed the Beastmode 3.5 kernel, and thankfully that has completely fixed the issues for me. Been running with it for 4 days now and the signal has not dropped once nor have I had random reboots. I did not have to upgrade firmware.

Just a personal note... the stock settings flash did not work for me; I had to choose the custom flash and enter the stock settings. He mentions this in the install notes.

Here's the Beastmode 3.5 thread:

Timmaa - Great stuff buddy! One additional question, It sounds like I can restore my backup (made on 2.14) while my firmware is 2.15? Wouldn't this cause any trouble?

rwalterk - I will err on the side of safety and flash my Kernel first, like how you did it. My phones getting more reboots and dead signals after a week of use. If problems still continue I will update my firmware.

Newbie Question.

Hey bro

I'm from Venezuela and I'm having the exact same problem as you guys have.

I readed your post and downloaded Beastmode 3.5 and flash it, but i got caught in a bootloop.

I'm using the VIPER 4.2.2 Rom.

Since this is not a solution for me, i was wondering which Rom are you using exactly?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Did you select custom from the Beastmode installer? He's using Turge's stock Sense 5 ROM which can be found in the development section.

I downloaded Turge's ROM and install it, and actually didnt have to flash the New kernel; i used the one in the Package and it Worked! i almost sold my phone because i couldnt find a ROm taht works but, so far, its been passed one day only and i havent had any signal drop, nor battery fast draining!

Sorry for my english BTW.

Thank you once again!

PS: If u find a way to fix VIPER ROM let me know, cause i've read a lot and cant find a way to fix it, but im to shy to ask in a new post hahahahahhahahahahahahaha.

Let me know if you need my phone specs. (as bootloader version, software version etc.)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
The best way to overcome the problems is to get s-off, then you're able to upgrade to the 2.15 firmware which is the best solution to signal loss and reboots on Sense 5 ROMs. In order to get s-off you'd most likely need to flash a different ROM though, I don't think a single person has had the process succeed while running a 4.2.2 ROM.
