Has anyone noticed it has a hard time going from wifi back to cellular service? If i set it to wifi calling and then leave a wifi area it keeps getting service then dropping. then getting service again and dropping again. it seems it will do this indefinitely unless I make a phone call timing it perfectly when it is "in service" state. then it will get in service and stay, and then the internet will actually start working again also.
[Verizon LG G2] youngpettyboi:
It's weird, I've noticed it but it's not so problematic for me. I haven't tried the OPs Rom, he says u get better signal on his, but idk. If it would ever download and lol.
[Verizon LG G2] thethirdmurph:
Yeah I'm on a stock tmobile rom not the OP rom. I couldn't get the OP rom to load either

It seems to do that normally for me.

I am looking for a Keyboard that still displays my SMS window instead taking over all, with only Typing Box, Recipient and my Keyboard.

Loving the phone !!!

And i just Flash SU directly with CWM to gain Root (I don't think u need but incase ROM source wasn't Pre-Rooted)
[Verizon LG G2] thethirdmurph:
Now I'm confused... where did you get the patch? The only one i see is the updated one.

Sorry my mistake...

I used the Beta Patch from here. Not the Upgrade one.

Installation instruction from here with the added Patch Install after i flash Rom.

Don't reboot after installing rom unless u have installed the Patch.

After installing Rom it will say something about Not Loki or something Negative, ignore that.

Just flash the patch right over and Loki should have done something successful.

Make sure whatever Recovery you are on that LOKI is active.

I am using 6.0.4.4 CWM Official Non-Touch (I feel saver bc i dont accidentally trigger something with wrong touch LOL)

Doesnt seem to have the Wipe Bug but then i dunno how long the wipe bug is.
[Verizon LG G2] thethirdmurph:
Got it. Yeah that is essentially what i did with the rom i installed. But since you aren't having the issues I'm having i may just try the rom you are on.
[Verizon LG G2] Germanese:
Also, not sure if it matters i cam from a dirty flash of OMNIROM.

I didn't like the look of the larger Icons LOL and the background was not edge to edge.
[Verizon LG G2] thethirdmurph:
I just realized that is the same rom I'm on. What radio are you on?
[Verizon LG G2] Germanese:
Baseband right ?
[Verizon LG G2] thethirdmurph:
So I changed my radio and flashed the same rom as you but I'm still having the same problems. Oh well...
[Verizon LG G2] Germanese:
Maybe its the area I am in ?

I am in Houston where its completely refarmed.
[Verizon LG G2] thethirdmurph:
Definitely possible. Thanks for your help though.
[Verizon LG G2] equake:
G2 also will work on the ATT network. Got mine working on AIO wireless. Mine is on the latest 12B modem and CM11 nightlies. Getting both LTE and HSPA+.

my 2 cents
[Verizon LG G2] Germanese:
Yeap seems most are compatible to each other.

So far I only seen major issues with sprint variant, crashing trying to access the antenna for other providers.
[Verizon LG G2] reocej:
Awesome news!

So what would be the process for me to install an ATT rom on my phone? I'm thinking flash the ATT rom then the Flex rom patch or is there more I need to do to get it to work?
[Verizon LG G2] T.C.P:
yup, thats all you have to do :D
[Verizon LG G2] youngpettyboi:
I can DEFINITELY confirm that 4G LTE works on my VZW G2 in my area of Shepherdsville, KY (bout 10-15 mins outside of Louisville). Tried it earlier when I actually left the wooded area of my neighborhood, and went into the settings to change it to GSM/WCDMA/LTE and BOOM, it worked. Originally, I had 4G (HSPA+) before I changed the settings.
[Verizon LG G2] rayraycarter4:
Wait so do I need a T-Mobile sim or can I use my Verizon still

U will need a tmobile SIM. I used a prepaid SIM i got from their website when they had a promotion giving them away for free. Right now, their only $1.
[Verizon LG G2] wizardofwoz:
Just bought a VS980 and am downloading the stock t-mobile rom/patch to flash for use on T-mobile.

I was wondering if I can essentially download any T-mobile rom flash it and then flash the patch or if it only works on a few rom. Another way to ask is what exactly does the VS980 patch file do? Thanks!
[Verizon LG G2] youngpettyboi:
I was thinking u could essentially flash any Rom as long as u flash the Verizon patch. AOSP, Stock roms, all those, and that goes for AT&T roms as well. As long as u have the patch, should be fine, but always remember to make a nandroid backup just in case.
[Verizon LG G2] wizardofwoz:
Quick update!

I finally got the T-mobile rom up and running with 4g LTE in my area which is amazing (30+MBPS down)

I wanted to post a few notes that I had issues with in case anyone else is struggling through this process.

While the T-mobile stock rom worked(not the one from this thread) In order to flash the VS980 patch I had to use LG Flash to downgrade my firmware from 12B to 11A (Instructions here)

I then rooted and installed TWRP, backed up my EFS partition(highly recommended), flashed the T-mobile rom followed by the patch and rebooted.

Everything worked fine but I didn't receive LTE until I installed the 12B modem and changed my network type/APN settings to LTE.

Hope this helps someone!
[Verizon LG G2] youngpettyboi:
That's the steps I went thru. I never accepted the 12b update tho, So I didn't have to downgrade. I flashed the 12b modem separately tho, before I flashed the TMo Rom to my phone and I was able to get the benefits immediately. Glad u got it up and running!
[Verizon LG G2] T.C.P:
aosp roms wont work like this, unless u flasha aosp kernel for vs980. flashing that patch will leave u at the lg logo
[Verizon LG G2] youngpettyboi:
So we can flash a vs980 AOSP kernel and it will work for AOSP roms? I haven't tried yet so I don't know. Which kernel would u recommend flashing when trying an AOSP rom from a T-Mobile G2?
[Verizon LG G2] tengtengvn:
Can you please check if wifi calling is working for you on tmo stock rom? Thanks!
[Verizon LG G2] djpharoah:
Can anyone confirm the above post? Also does this allow updates from T-Mobile?
[Verizon LG G2] wizardofwoz:
I can confirm that Wi-fi calling is working just fine. I'm unsure if HSPA+ is working correctly because I haven't been anywhere without LTE signal all week. If it helps ease anyone's mind I've tested the phone on T-mobile for an entire week and have decided it'll be my daily driver moving forward as everything works great.

*Edit* As with any custom rom DO NOT accept OTA updates as you have a custom recovery installed... you will need to wait until someone posts a flashable version of the update.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
Once 4.4 is released will this same method work for that? I just ordered the Verizon version because it's cheaper and has wireless charging and IMO looks better except the buttons and Verizon symbol on front (the camera looks nice and the ring seems like it'll help protect it). So Im hoping since Verizon takes forever to update that this will still work with a newer version

I am using the one from the thread you have listed... multiple people have tried flashing the rom in this thread but have received an error indicating a bad rom. did you have trouble flashing that rom or was it the patch after the rom? If the rom itself flashed but the patch didn't I had the same thing happen and it was because the phone had the 12B Verizon baseband so I had to first downgrade the firmware
[Verizon LG G2] woundedworld:
Squaretrade?
[Verizon LG G2] djpharoah:
Is this now confirmed? I might buy this phone to use on T-Mobile.
[Verizon LG G2] tengtengvn:
I never upgrade to 12B. I ran ASOP ROM before this. I follow the steps and flash 12B modem at the end. Everything works fine except wifi calling, IPSec Service keeps force closing, and auto brightness.

I'll do a full backup and flash it again next week because I'm kind of enjoying the stable stock ROM right now (with few tweaks using Xposed \ GravityBox). :D

Verizon phones are good buy because they come SIM unlocked from the factory. The devs seem to move on very quickly so I don't expect many custom ROMs compare to the AT&T or tmo versions. My wife is using a Verizon S4 on SimpleMobile. I'm using a G2 on tmo. Both are working great! :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon LG G2] fieldsweeper:
cell phones are such a scam, you know. the damn device should be made one way (or in couple different models like iphone 4 / 4s) nothing else. none of this oh im on vzw or tmobile, etc so i get screwed on the same phone with different capabilities, like really? whats the freaking point.

just makes me mad but what are you gonna do.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
If i flashed this but don't use tmobile (i use lycamobile) will wifi calling still work with my number? or is that only a tmobile thing? I want to flash this just for that option but if it only works on tmobile service (which im assuming is what it is but want to make sure) then I won't bother.

Thanks
[Verizon LG G2] tengtengvn:
Wifi calling is a tmobile feature. It won't work for MVNO.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
Alright thanks. I thought so but was just hoping :p it would be nice since I have limited minutes
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
This is a bit off topic but I saw in the ops lost if reasons vs980 is good and saw the warranty part. I bought mine used off eBay abs it's all fine but if anything happened I just need to take it to a verizon store and they'll fix it? Or I have to provide a receipt? I know stone people told me they don't ask fir a receipt at lg but what was the op talking about when he meant warranty? Verizon or lg?

Sorry for off topic but I'd like to know thanks
[Verizon LG G2] tengtengvn:
Verizon activated my phone on another line that I have with them in order to process the warranty. Warranty is done over the phone and by mail. I don't think they do warranty in the B&M store.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
Ok thanks so If I needed warranty on my device I'd have to call them? Did they ask for a receipt? And also you said they activated your line onverizon so If I'm using another company like tmobile would they still warranty it?

I just figured it out! For those who are trying to flash a stock T-Mobile rom, dont use 2.6.3.3 and use 2.6.3.2 instead. I now can enjoy my T-mobile vs980 without any problem. However, my signal is somewhat unstable, I often lose service if I choose GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto. Does anyone know how to deal with it?
[Verizon LG G2] thethirdmurph:
So I've found that I can flash the rom and patch from twrp or clockwork and the rom works almost flawlessly. However if I have preferred network set to "lte/gsm/wcdma" it really struggles regaining a solid signal after a reboot or after coming off of WiFi. If I set preferred network to "wcdma preferred" my problems go away but I want lte dangit! I considered flashing a different kernel but don't know if that will help. What are you guys thoughts?
[Verizon LG G2] Alber Wesker:
I have the same problem and I don't think flashing another kernel will help. I switch to CM and the problem seems to remain and that issue will drain your battery very fast. My guess is that the problem is caused by the phone actually prefers to registered in Verizon's LTE when you have lte options setup so the phone doesn't stick to the t-mobile's lte.
[Verizon LG G2] equake:
I have the same issue using CM 11 nightly with ATT. LTE is intermittent.
[Verizon LG G2] Xplic1T:

What am i doing wrong ? I'm rooted but am still on stock vzw firmware.
[Verizon LG G2] thethirdmurph:
The rom in this thread doesn't work.... everyone seems to be flashing stock tmobile rom then flashing the flex patch for the vs980.

I did have to downgrade before wifi calling would work.... if you have trouble look at post #65
[Verizon LG G2] Alber Wesker:
I think I figure out the problem. I just made some modifications on build. prop so that the device can stay with t-mobile network even with lte.

#included in <build.prop>

/*

* telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1

* ro.telephony.default_network=9

* ro.ril.def.preferred.network=9

*/

I got this from a post about getting lte on nexus 4. Since I just made the change, i can't confirm it's totally working. I'll post tge result later today.
[Verizon LG G2] thethirdmurph:
Please let us know...I hate changing my preferred network every time i restart the phone.
[Verizon LG G2] Alber Wesker:
I think it works. I flashed the T-mobile rom then changed the build.prop once I installed the root explorer. So far so good, I got lte all day and don't seem to have battery drain issue. Note that, from the original post, the one regarding the Nexus 4, someone said you should never go into network setting to change anything such as apn and operator setting if you want this setting stick, once you make some change and you lose lte, you will probably have to reset all the user data to get it back.
[Verizon LG G2] thethirdmurph:
Did you restart your phone to make sure it is jumping right back on lte? I noticed that if I turn on lte after I have established a solid connection it will stay on lte all day. I only encounter issues when I restart or use WiFi calling and then try to go directly back to lte.
[Verizon LG G2] Alber Wesker:
I think I got no problem regarding restarting the device. It will only take no more than 1min to get lte signal once boot up. BTW I never change anything about mobile network since I the rom flashed.
[Verizon LG G2] thethirdmurph:
Did you add those lines to the build.prop Or were they already there and you just edited them?
[Verizon LG G2] Alber Wesker:
Regarding your question:

telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1(wasn't in it)

ro.telephony.default_network=9(was in it, but the value should be 10 by default)

ro.ril.def.preferred.network=9(wasn't in it)

BTW, you might need to delete the line:

telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=1
[Verizon LG G2] thethirdmurph:
I did this exactly and it still won't connect after I make calls through wifi calling... if I reboot it will eventually find signal again but it takes like 5 min to connect to lte. Also if I set my phone to airplane mode it won't reconnect till I either reboot or change the preferred network off of lte then back on. I even tried this on an aosp rom and it does pretty much the same thing besides the wifi calling feature.

Though we did manage to get the T-Mo JB working on this phone =)

So the hopes of someone getting the KK from T-Mo on this phone is not far fetched.

[Verizon LG G2] thethirdmurph:
Oh I know but it took some work around. It wasn't as simple as flash this Rom and be done. I'm running a t mobile Rom on my vs980. I was just saying it probably would not come as a neat clean zip from the op of this thread. I'm sure the awesome devs on xda Will find a workaround
[Verizon LG G2] Germanese:
True hahahha Agree on that, it was not a Clean Flash lol

Took me 3 different Roms, 2 Patches trial errors and 4 Recovery to get it working LOL.

I did get it down to Specific Recovery, T-Mo Donor Rom, 1 Patch and an optional Patch (Some Screen Glitch ? That i Never seen)

But yeah u right probably wont be a Clean, as in Load Wipe Wipe and Flash type deal =P oh well

a questions for the rest of you. can you guys please be specific about what combination of things enables you to use the phone on tmob?

namely

are you using a Verizon or Tmobile: Rom, Modem, Recovery, Kernel? I want to experiment but dont want to hose my phone and want to know specifically what part is the key in getting this to work on tmob
[Verizon LG G2] wizardofwoz:
You will want to use VS980 modem/baseband, recovery and kernel. The only portion that will be T-mobile is the rom itself.

I am currently running the Cloudyflex 2.0 rom. I selected T-mobile in the Aroma installer and after flashing but before rebooting I flashed a VS980 kernel (Fluance LG).

The only things not working for me are odd screen rotation (I just turned off automatic rotation and it doesn't effect me anymore) and the GPS is off. I've thought about trying to fix it myself using the corresponding files from the VS980 in the aroma installer but it sounds like the updated flash-able is almost here.
[Verizon LG G2] tholmes8291:
Just curious. Why do you use the T-Mobile variant?
[Verizon LG G2] wizardofwoz:
I tried the VS980 variant first and while it worked I was having an issue with the APNS and couldn't get both LTE and sms/mms to work (even after setting the APNS up properly and using a 3rd party SMS app)

I've used AOSP VS980 variants in the past (on 12B) and it configured correctly for T-mobile properly for me automatically.
[Verizon LG G2] Namolas:
Trying to get this going on my daughters Verizon LG G2. Rom in the OP won't download/flash as reported so I have downloaded other various T-Mobile ROM's posted throughout this thread and they flash fine but the Flex patch fails updating binary everytime.

Does anybody have any current advice? Also its not on 12B or even 11A....its on 24A. Maybe thats the problem. Can anybody help?

EDIT And we actually don't even live in an LTE area anyways so the only thing I really need is calls, text and slow ass data to work. LTE is still down the road aways.

I'm currently on 4.4, and with Verizon. I'm switching to T-Mobile next week. Can I downgrade, reroot, and flash this ROM? Just curious. Thanks.
[Verizon LG G2] wizardofwoz:
You should be able to do that but it'd suggest leaving it on 24a and just flashing cloudys g3 Rom.. Select the vs980 variant in the installer and it should automatically find your Tmo sim/apn... All I'm missing is wifi calling but the performance and ui of the G3 Rom is completely worth it.
[Verizon LG G2] suzook:
Its my wife's phone, she likes it very stock like. Cloudys is stock like...correct?
[Verizon LG G2] wizardofwoz:
correct, its based on the G3 stock rom so has all the LG stock apps.... The really cleaned up the UI and bloat for the rom.

If you do decide to flash it there is an updated kernel in the CloudyG3 thread (under the Q&A section) made specifically for the rom.
[Verizon LG G2] suzook:
I am a little worried about the black screen issue....should I be? Or is this very rare.
[Verizon LG G2] wizardofwoz:
If you're talking about the black lines and the fact that there are 2 different types of displays in the phones I wouldn't be.

The rom automatically detects the type of display you have in the phone and I believe the black lines were determined to be due to overheating and was even found on a few completely stock phones.

If you're uncomfortable with flashing anything you could technically run on the stock Verizon rom just by placing the sim in the phone and altering the build.prop(would require root) and the APN settings. The most annoying thing would be that your phone would have an icon indicating an unknown sim was inserted.

Also, if it makes you feel better I have tried TMO, Verizon, D802 and AOSP roms on my VS980 but have settled on Cloudy's G3 as my favorite since its original release
[Verizon LG G2] suzook:
I have no issues flashing Roms. If it were up to me, I would flash an aosp ROM, but the wife likes stock. I'll give cloudy a shot. It sounds like she should like that.
