Correct i flash furnace and it started working lol now i have a camera issu keeps cannot connect to camera and force closes eveything else works my phone is weird everytime i flash a rom i have to take my restore and flash my original boot image. Or i get a boot loop. If i run most other roms its ok i had it happen before and had to reflash orig firmware evry one told me my.cam was bad but its not i know this for sure
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
Sounds like you need to flash the older radio and you will be set. That's why you are having kernel issues. You need to use the kernel I.included in the rom

I like my phones like I like my women.... flexible :)
[Sprint LG G2] TheMadScientist:
I did use it ures my wifi was not working. Now im useing furnace and my cam is out

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

What do u mean by older radio?
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
The radio from the build before zva update. So are you saying it booted with the kernel I included?

I like my phones like I like my women.... flexible :)
[Sprint LG G2] TheMadScientist:
Yes it booted. Just no wifi but thats fixed my prob is the cam
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
Can you send me the zip file of the kernel you are running so I can see what changes in it

I like my phones like I like my women.... flexible :)
[Sprint LG G2] TheMadScientist:
How exactly do i send it to you
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
Upload it to dropbox and send me the link

If u can compare whatever it is that make my cam go to please
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
Do you know how to use adb to push files?
[Sprint LG G2] TheMadScientist:
Yes it did. Just real buggy my phone is very weird most roms after i flash the i have to do a wipe then restore just my boot image or i get stuck in a fastboot boot loop youres is one of the few that i did not have to do n e thing

---------- Post added at 10:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 PM ----------

Kinda i. Have had to adb a few times with sucsess so far
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
What we are going to have to do, (because I don't know which modules control the wifi and which control the camera) is take the modules folder out of my tmobile.zip then push each one, one at a time and reboot the phone after each push to see if it fixes the camera.

If you want you can hit me up on hangouts at justinswidebody@gmail.com and we can do this
[Sprint LG G2] Hathoid:
Don't think that location is possible to input for the value also,
[Sprint LG G2] Hathoid:
Not sure if it was always broken to begin with, but even changing back the value to COM/US, the wifi menu stays bugged.
[Sprint LG G2] hzaheer:
Hey try this: go to settings, tethering and network, mobile network, Network Mode and select GSM/UMTS . I haven't had a system UI crash in about an hour even with full service. My guess is that the gsm only option is problematic. As for the WiFi and settings crash I downloaded a WiFi manager app from the playstore which has worked fine.

Let me know if this works for you.

Working for T-mobile so far.
[Sprint LG G2] Hathoid:
It does cause less crashes, but not a total fix. I'll try the wifi manager :)
[Sprint LG G2] TaDoey:
Is it here?! Is it finally here?! A permanent unlock for gsm on the sprint lg g2?!!

But seriously, I just bought a sprint lg g2 and I really neeed to get this thing unlocked for metro pcs.

[Sprint LG G2] Nicamarcel1:
Well I can confirm that is not only the system.ui but the status icon changes to a different icon which is why it might crash... if you guys try you can just change the status bar icon it might work better than traying to change anything else that will make something else crash. Now i dont try it cause i dont need to.. i alvery have two year contract and i just trying to keep good credit ?

Hi! I'm in KOREA

Hi! this is Korea

I use ls980 on Korea Telecom with CDMA 800 Mhz

In Korea there is telephone company called SKT (SK Telecom)

SKT service CDMA 800mzh

AND I also have a 3G SIM (WCDMA 2100 mhz)

SO I try to change build prop (OPEN/COM )

but my phone can't read 3G SIM

ICCID is also Unknown

Except KOREA (CHINA or another country)

Can you unlock your phone and use your 3G SIM ?

I use rooted stock rom ZV8
[Sprint LG G2] Donmarques72:
Country - GEO (my native country code) - No crash for few houres

APN solution is - "Tweakker APN Internet MMS.apk" download, install and follow the apps instructions.

WI-FI settings still are inaccesible and that is real issue!!!
[Sprint LG G2] garynsa:
Someone suggested an appt for WiFi. Wifi manager. That should help
[Sprint LG G2] Ramonsterator:
Changed COM to GEO - still getting crashes!

You must have changed something else!

???

Has anyone tried flashing custom rom or changing System UI??

I believe that just fixing these icons in System UI will make everything work!!
[Sprint LG G2] Donmarques72:
No mate, it crash a hour later

Delete cash helps but just for few hours. 3G realy works good
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
I want you guys to try something in build.prop for me. Might fix your signal issues. Go almost all the way to the end of your build.prop and change ro.telephony.default_network=10 change the 10 to a 9. I bet this will fix your problems.
[Sprint LG G2] Panagiotisgate13:
ro.telephony.default_network=10 change the 10 to a 9

No It doesn't work ....
[Sprint LG G2] Nicamarcel1:
What is the purpose for changing the ro.telephony ?
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
It would put you on the overseas network. Might also need to change all the smartcard lines that say false to true

The t mobile room works with att too, just have to modify Apn even though only hspa is compatible not lte
[Sprint LG G2] jub2k3:
After the flashing the Tmo Rom for LS980 and failing then recovering the phone and reflashing successfully my ESN is now 0000000 and I get no mobile networks option in the settings. The option is disabled and greyed out and any call attempted it says that the phone is not activated yet.

Has anyone come across this or any problem like it? I cannot return to factory sprint due to an error I get with flash tool having to due with a different phone model.

I am unsure as to how to continue from here.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any and all the help.
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
Flash a Sprint Rom in recovery. That will set your build Prop back. Then tot back. It sounds like you need to restore your efs. When you rooted the phone, there was a copy made somewhere.

Help in setting up APN and flashing other ROM

Hi , I have flashed JUSTIN ROM posted in post# 239

It works fine , I have one issue and one query

- I can't set up any APN , by default it's T-Mobile. Even though I can add apn manually I can't select as there is no select button next to the apn.

Please note I am using this ROM in India/Airtel network (Need urgent help on this as no DATA is active)

- Is there any Kitkat version of this ROM

I have also attempted to use another ROM , following the instructions as per post #410

But after flashing my phone staus in LG logo.

- Do I need to flash some other modem

- ROM which I were trying to flash is T-Mobile stock debloated (Kitkat) and I compared and did file adjustment against Justin's ROM (Sprint - T-Mobile , post#239 )
[Sprint LG G2] pesater:
About the apn I think it has st to do w the APN Type. When I set it to default or blank, the radio button shows up

[Sprint LG G2] picklerick:
I have 3 g2's and all of them have the issue of the system ui crashing after editing the build.prop.... I have tried using VZ7 and also latest 4.4.2 KK roms but still no luck.
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Use the permanent unlock thread for ls980 unlock.
[Sprint LG G2] picklerick:
I have tried that and it doesn't work for US carriers.
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Once you do the permanent unlock, use build.prop editor, search for ro.build.target_operator=SPR change "SPR" to "spr”

---------- Post added at 08:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------

Reboot, if this works please revert back.
[Sprint LG G2] picklerick:
Yes I understand, I have performed the permanent unlock and changed the build prop. After making the change in the build prop and rebooting I am unable to use the phone because the system ui and home processes continue to crash on a loop. Only way to fix it is to restore the phone back before the build prop changes were made.
[Sprint LG G2] ejlmd:
I am having the same issue. In a bootloop with system UI crashing. I would be most grateful for any suggestions.

Unlocking issue

Use permanent unlock (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2655133) + build prop (ro.build.target_operator=TMO, or ATT, and ro.build.target_operator=TMO, or ATT).

Reboot and try wifi app, or call a # without dialing 1 to check if it is still crashed. If yes, make a factory reset et voilà those issues solved.
[Sprint LG G2] Drax979:
I recently unlocked my sprint LG G2, I bought it off craigs list but just yesterday for some reason after I got off my friends wifi it stop accepting my sim and just says something about roaming or emergency calls only. The phone won't work now with my sim & won't let me change the mobile network. Now I have to use the "Radio Switcher" app to switch the signal to LTE/GSM/WCDMA as that's the only band it will allow me to change it too besides the default and a few other ones that don't matter. Is there something wrong with the phone? Does this fix stop working from time to time? Just curious because this is highly frustrating and I really don't want to have to reset my phone and do this all over again. -_-
[Sprint LG G2] picklerick:
After performing factory reset I still have the ui process crash issue and flashing Justin's rom cause boot loops. I dont understand what you guys are doing to be able to get this to work but I'm not new to this stuff. Even radio switcher says it doesn't support my phone and exits. LG must have change something hardware wise.....

Unlocking issues

Can u back to stock rom, root it n do unlock following methods above mentioned?
[Sprint LG G2] picklerick:
Yes i have already tried that even flashing back to ZV7. Are you guys performing the unlock with the foreign sim card installed or do you do it with no sim card and then insert the sim after?

Also not sure if this helps but if I just copy the carrier folder over and reboot without making the build.prop changes then the com.android.phone process crashes on a loop.
[Sprint LG G2] didithu:
Unlocking issues

I let my Tmo card inside, there is no prob.

When u do unlocking, reboot your ph. only after build. prop changed, n see if these issues still persist.
[Sprint LG G2] picklerick:
ok i flashed again back to ZV7 and this time i was able to edit the change the build.prop to TMO without the crashing issue and also radio switcher will now let me choose LTE/GSM/WCDMA but it still say "No SIM Card - Search" and I cant make any calls, it says emergency calls only? Any ideas? thanks for the help.

[Sprint LG G2] didithu:
Unlocking issues
[Sprint LG G2] picklerick:
well I decided to flash ZVC and try again but after build.prop edits the ui process continues to crash even after I revert the changes. I wonder it there is some kind of check going on since reverting the changes doesn't work and the only way to avoid the crashing is to restore the system partition.
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
The system ui crash is not present on 4.4, so flash zv8 then edit the build.prop
[Sprint LG G2] picklerick:
I am able to unlock with ZVA but ZVC doesn't work. I also noticed total commander will not replace the carrier files when running ZVC. I also noticed the ro.carrier setting is missing from the build.prop but present in all the versions before ZVC.

I tried taking the OTA from ZVA but it rebooted and and looked like it started to flash but then rebooted and I was still on ZVA. Also now when I check for an update it says I am already up to date. Not sure whats going on there....
[Sprint LG G2] Drax979:
If someone reports the phone lost/stolen to sprint... would that hinder the unlock process? Because I've rooted the phone (Checked with root checker) changed over the carrier files & I still get a restricted access is enabled. I get no signal when I try to connect the phone via the LTE/GSM/WCDMA. Any help? because I've had this phone unlocked and everything before but now it wont do **** for me...

Edit: To clarify I bought this phone off of a guy on CL I'm not trying to unlock a stolen phone but I know where the guy lives if this is the case lol
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
KK for structure is very different from JB. Total Commander won't work on KK. You have to use Root Explorer. The unlock works if you do it correctly, REPLACE the whole carrier folder, delete telephony.db as mentioned in OP, DO NOT DELETE or REPLACE the apn-conf.xml file. Reboot.
[Sprint LG G2] ejlmd:
Thank you for thoroughly detailing the exact steps to successfully unlock with 4.4.2 ZVC. After all this you have T-Mobile USA 4G (but not LTE), stable, without the UI crashing?
[Sprint LG G2] picklerick:
I have tested this with Straight Talk At&t and Metro PCS (which is on T-Mobiles network) SIM cards. Neither have LTE working but HSPA+ works just fine on both networks. Everything is working stable with no crashing.

Getting it to work with Metro PCS was a little tricky since they require you to activate the IMEI on your account before you will be able to use the phone. They gave me a problem saying their system shows the phone as not compatible because it was a CDMA phone. I got around that by swapping the IMEI of the G2 with a donor metro phone's IMEI using DFS CDMA Tool. Not sure if this is also required by T-mobile.

I don't think we will get LTE working since Sprint uses Bands 25/26/41* over CDMA I believe. So unless T-mobile or At&t add support for those bands or some one can alter the radio or whatever to use the correct band we are stuck with HSPA+. I haven't really look into it yet so this is most likely wrong.

Hi Devs... folks!

I want purchase a smartphone on Ebay. And, on configuration say's:

Software Version

"D80211z".

But on device's back say "LS980".

Is this device GLOBAL or SPRINT?

'Cause I wanna use here in Brazil.

If I purchase, Will work on this frequency: GSM 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS 850/900/1900/2100 (3G), LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600 (4G) ?

The seller said:

"Yes it will, it's setup as a d802 and its global"

I have afraid.

But you, buddies, know better. Works, yes or not?

Thanks in advance for help me.
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
This seems like a lot of steps that can be simplified...

-Root using ioroot25

-Install ROM toolbox, open the build.prop editor

-Change ro.build.target_operator=OPEN

-Reboot, get system UI crashes

-Change ro.build.target_operator=spr

-Reboot

Done, change it to ATT or TMO if you want a different look

Use Tweakker app to add your APN if needed.
[Sprint LG G2] picklerick:
I'm not sure if you read any of my previous posts but to keep it short. When using ZVC if I edited the build.prop using JRummy's build.prop editor or replaced/edited it with any of the root explorers it would cause a constant crashing loop of the systemui and home process even if i reverted the build.prop changes. When that occurs you can't do anything other than click OK and restart the phone leaving you with 2 options of restoring from backup or lg flash tool.

I have confirmed this with 3 phones which all have the same issue. Also I believe that there is an issue with using the root explorers to mount the system partition as RW which is why I have done it manually on ZVC.

I don't have any crashing including the WiFi settings, everything is 100% working stable except LTE. I basically wrote those instruction to save any one the trouble with all the obstacles I have ran into trying to root and unlock this phone.

Also you can not use more than 3 characters on the line "ro.build.target_operator" when editing the build.prop from any app on the phone, so how can one change it to "OPEN"?

All 3 of my G2's were purchased new from sprint within the last month so maybe I have a different revision than you.....
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
Ok I kinda jumped in without back reading. I recently had the systemui crashes too after installing D3rp SuperG2, but I kept pressing ok and after about a dozen they stopped long enough to let me edit the build.prop. It was a clean install so possibly more apps installed would have led to more crashes as they loaded. Yeah LTE is a hardware limitation so there's nothing we can do about that.

I'm not sure about the 3 character limit... I have no problem entering OPEN. Maybe it is automatically appended to OPE when it saves, but in the editor it still shows OPEN. Give Rom toolbox a try, or it could be like you said a new revision, mine is not that new.

Good instructions though for anyone experiencing such issues, very detailed.
[Sprint LG G2] picklerick:
Sorry auto-correct changed it to Jimmy's instead of JRummy's. JRummy's build.prop editor is the same editor that comes with RomToolbox but only a stand alone app.
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
Ok, I just downloaded and tested it (Even though it should be the same code, but just to make sure). I can enter 4 letters. Interesting, I didn't know there was some differences in the phones.
[Sprint LG G2] joseuniv:
Thanks for the info, I will try it. Only a question, do you have to add "1" to any number you want to call to avoid crashes? People who followed a thread to unlock the LS980 to tmobile, metropcs and att have 2 main problems:

1: we have to add 1 before any number if not the system crashes

2. we got fake bars, even though signal is strong, we got 1 bar.

It will be very interesting if you can confirm that your method unlocks the LS980 both internationally and for US Carriers, AND it does not have the 2 bugs mentioned above. If all that is true, I highly encourage you to start a final thread with the method you just discovered because it will help a lot of people.

Thanks again
[Sprint LG G2] picklerick:
Both bugs are still present. I believe you can fix the 1 bar issue by replacing "TMO" with "spr" in the build.prop edits. I decompiled the lgsystemui.apk but could not find a xml file for the signal bars which makes me believe it's controlled some other way since the icons are there.

Dialing 1 before a number isn't really a big deal for me since I mostly dial from my contacts. I just have to remember not to use the call back feature for missed calls.
[Sprint LG G2] picklerick:
I managed to fix the phone crashing when not dialing 1 or your country code and I also fixed the issue of having to keep setting the correct radio with radio switcher. I updated my previous guide so you guys should read it over again.

*To fix the issue of the com.android.phone process crashing when you don't dial a 1 in front of the number edit the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db file with a SQLlite editor and change in the "system" table "assist_dial" and "assist_dial_init_db_check" to "0". Fix permissions, wipe cache and reboot.

Can anyone give me any tips on how to get ruim data working on this phone? I tried setting it to ruim only in dfs and that didn't work. I also tried downgrading to 4.2 and it didnt work there either.

I followed the above instructions as far as flashing the ZVC firmware, rooting with ioroot25, AutoRec, then I used RomToolKit's build.prop editor to change ALL these values(rebooting after each and enabling roaming)

ro.carrier=ATT

ro.build.target_operator=OPEN

persist.service.crash.enable=1

ro.telephony.default_network=0

telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0

I replaced the carrier folder as detailed originally using Root Explorer. Replaced apns-conf.xml in Folder /etc/. Deleted File telephony.db and mmssms.db in Folder /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases, rebooted.
