[G2 General] BillyD325:
I just wanted to let you know that I finally got my act together enough to update my phone. I was going to go the stock Rogers route and use AutoRec to get TWRP 2.7, but decided to just use 2.6.3.4 and follow the steps listed above and now am on the latest Mahdi KitKat ROM and so far it seems to be working perfectly. I restored my apps with TB and never lost Root - just had to reinstall SuperSU. The only thing that wouldn't flash in recovery was SuperSU 1.94, but I had root so I was able to install it from the Play Store with no problem. I'm so glad I finally did it - it was easier than I was expecting - I half expecting something not to flash and I was going to end up in a bootloop or something. But it all went smoothly. You and Dene_bluesman and the others here have been so helpful. I'll of course try and stay active here as I will probably be trying other ROMs and want to help with development testing if I can. I will also try flashing one of the newer TWRPs that dene_bluesman linked to (I think CloudyFA ported them) and get on the latest recovery also. Now to waste some time tweaking my phone!
[G2 General] Arctic Prodigy:
Due to intermittent data problems with KK with Cloudyfa KK modem/radio, does anyone know where I can download an extracted stock version of KK?
[G2 General] BillyD325:
Ever since flashing my phone to Mahdi ROM from stock JB, (flashed the KitKat baseband, ROM, 803 patch, etc.) I have been having issues with certain things in the ROM as well as dropped calls.

1. I posted a question about the ROM issues in the Mahdi thread but am getting no response, and searching turned up nothing. Basically it's things like settings not sticking - specifically the QuickSettings panel doesn't work at all. Also my launcher keeps restarting, recents view settings don't stick, etc. I don't know if it's a ROM issue (I'm guessing not since no one else is reporting these) or if I missed something when updating my phone. Also, checking for updates causes Settings to close.

2. Most serious problem - dropped calls! The phone is basically unusable as a phone because it randomly drops calls every few minutes (like every 5-10 minutes, but it is random times.) Signal strength shows as normal. I flashed the kitkat baseband in this thread. Do I need to flash one of the modems too? I wasn't sure since I think they are for JellyBean, but I may be mistaken. I did the dialpad sequence to set it to LTE/GSM/CDMA auto. Should I just set it to LTE?

Thanks.
[G2 General] Dene_Bluesman:
I have had those similiar issues with settings, turned out it was a bad download, what md5 are you getting? Update in the rom settings is unsupported for the G2. Have you tried any other rom other than Mahdi? Try PA to see if the problem is still there. Recieving and transmitting data work at all? If all else fails can always go back to stock, cheers
[G2 General] BillyD325:
Thanks. I was thinking that it might be a bad download/flash. the only thing that made me think otherwise was that I have flashed two builds of the ROM (7/9 and 7/18) and had the same issues. It's not likely that both were bad, but it is possible. I will try that tonight. As far as the dropped calls issue, you think it's also related to the ROM or Kernel? I have been looking at other ROMs, specifically OmniROM. If this doesn't fix teh issue I may try it or PA. I can receive and transmit data just fine. It's just calls that seem to be dropping at random.

Thanks.
[G2 General] Arctic Prodigy:
So far I am using Pardus HD Sensation and best radio/modem is Rogers JB modem/radio KK modem/radio is intermittent at best, but like I have posted above I really need a stock KK modem because Cloudyfa is intermittent.
[G2 General] BillyD325:
Is that a KK ROM? I didn't think I could use a JB modem. Or is the modern independent of the ROM version? I wasn't aware that this problem existed with the KK baseband. Is it just on AOSP?
[G2 General] Dene_Bluesman:
Claro D801 afaik, never released an official kitkat, and doubt they will. So D803 basebands will have to do for now, Some Claro users have restored using the KDZ method using stock rogers rom with some success, and that being kitkat, theoritically you shouldnt have to flash another baseband as all aosp roms have moved to kitkat sources. If the problem still persists there are other routes you can take, like restoring to an almost similiar variant Videotron or wind as they carry the same naming scheme (D801).
[G2 General] BillyD325:
As I understand it, the ClaroPR is identical to the Rogers d803 in all but name. I am doing my updates with the assumption that this is so, and using d803 files (baseband, etc.) for everything (Rogers-specific when that is important.) This evening I will try downloading a different ROM and see if that makes a difference. The call dropping is the biggest issue. Maybe I should re-download and re-flash the kk baseband too, just to be certain. I used the ones linked in the OP by CloudyFA.
[G2 General] Arctic Prodigy:
Yes it is a KK ROM, JB modem seems to be stable compared to the KK modem Cloudyfa has for D803.
[G2 General] phoenix_rizzen:
If it's identical to the d803, you might want to try updating the TZ/RPM partitions as well. That brings another part of the hardware/software stack up to 4.4 levels (leaving only the boot loader at 4.2).

You can find links to it in Houston's PA thread. I can also send them to you via PM if needed.

Typos courtesy of my LG G2 (D803) running Mahdi-ROM.
[G2 General] BillyD325:
I did that. I used the one you posted a few pages back. Thanks! I'm hoping it was just a bad download/flash. Even though I had the settings problem on both of the last two Mahdi builds I downloaded. I suppose it could happen twice. What's odd is that the settings worked when I first installed the current (7/18) build. It was only later after messing with settings that it quit. That's why I posted in the Mahdi thread to see if there is some setting I could have inadvertently tweaked that messed it up. But I started having other issues too so that points me to the bad download possibility. Anyway, as I said before you and Dene_bluesman have been essential in getting me to this point. Hopefully I'll find the answer soon.
[G2 General] BillyD325:
Ok so far. I re-downloaded the Mahdi ROM and the patch (which I hadn't before when flashing the new version of the ROM.) Wiped and flashed both and made a phone call. Talked over half an hour and no drops. Also I went into quicksettings and it's still working. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I should know by tomorrow if it worked (it worked before when I first installed also.) Anyway, thanks for the help, and I finally got a little help in the Mahdi thread. That place is so crowded - there are new posts all the time, some of them actually useful lol. I was going to read through the whole thread but realized I'd never be able to as it grows by several pages a day.

I may still try other ROMs once I verify that my phone is ok and it was the download and/or flash that was my problem. OmniROM looks good, and I've enjoyed SlimKAT on my tablet for awhile. May try it too. So glad I've finally taken the plunge on this phone and gotten rid of the awful LG UI and gone AOSP. My last phone was an HTC and it was my first Android. Once I learned I could get rid of Sense and run AOSP I've never turned back.
[G2 General] BillyD325:
Two days on the newly-flashed ROM and patch and everything is still working. Glad it was that simple! I love this ROM - AOSP is definitely the way to go. I hated Sense and the LG UI was, well, limiting and unattractive.
[G2 General] victorbrca:

I've been running Mahdi for several weeks now and love it. It's got a lot of customization, but is also very fluid and easy on the battery.

By off chance, does anyone know if Claro D801 supports the fm radio?

From what I am reading is the Canadian D803 all except for Wind does support the fm radio and we flash the Claro D801 with the D803 kernel, I am hoping it does but I am really not sure.
[G2 General] angel7501@live.com:
Check your APN settings and make sure you have the correct LTE apn enabled. Also, check if Rotation is working and install the corresponding Baseband. Cm11 is still not based on 4.4 sources if Im correct

We dont have radio apparently. Tested with CloudyG3, OptimusG3, and every other app on aosp and Nada.

Ok, this is confusing, I'm new to the LG G2 but I have a long history of flashing roms with my RAZR XT910 which currently has Carbon KK 4.4.4.

I bought this phone last week, D801 from Claro PR, has JB 4.2.2, I already rooted and installed recovery, did a full rom backup just in case, now the problem is, don't know what to do from there to get an AOSP KK rom installed into this phone since I read a lot of conflicts about this phone being really a modified D803 and stupid carrier haven't released an official KK OTA.

Can anyone explain this issue and if there a solution? Thanks.

Oh, btw, another question, if I update to KK, can I roll back to stock 4.2.2 in case of warranty?
[G2 General] Dene_Bluesman:
Ok so far so good, yes all D803 roms will work on your claro, head on over to the paranoid android thread and search for the rpm and tz partitions which can be flashed in recovery as it is needed to run kitkat roms or aosp roms based on kitkat sources, next you will need a patched baseband(modem) from cloudyfa for the D803 otherwise you will lose rotation and sensors, unfortunately the stock claro kdz is hard to find these days. hope this helps. send me a pm if you need more help. would have provided links but i am on a flight about to depart. cheers

edit: try this to return to stock http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW029865432109876543213/D80110A_00.kdz
[G2 General] BillyD325:
In addition to dene_bluesman's help, if you want AOSP KK then try Mahdi, which has "patches" for each variant (including the d803). As dene said, flash the rpm and tz (link around page 45 of this thread), KK baseband (I believe there is a link in this thread, but you can search the G2 forums and find it easily), Mahdi ROM, correct patch (which includes the kernel), then GAPPS if you like. I bought my phone thinking it was a T-Mobile variant. After much delay and trepidation I got it updated to Mahdi (which is a 4.4.4 ROM) and haven't looked back. Search for my posts in this thread. I listed my process in one of them and it worked like a charm.

Basically, anything that will work on a Rogers d803 will work on your phone. They are identical except for branding.

Bricked

Hey guys I wish this thread was up when I first started messing around with my Wind Lg g2.

I successfully rooted my phone back in May, and while I was trying to install recovery, I used the D801 version because that's the model Wind labelled my Phone as. Obviously its not a D801, so I ended up hard bricking my Phone.

In Fastboot mode, I was able to re-flash my img/recovery/laf etc. files to my phone following this guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2477595

But I still thought my phone was a D801, so I have all the D801 files flashed. So my phone is still a brick, and cannot get into download mode.

I managed to install TWRP 2.6.3.2 onto my phone, and I cant get back to fastboot mode to re-flash the important files again.

Before I gave up messing around with TWRP, I managed to have my computer recognize my phone, and I was able to Push files through it's ADB Side load function.

Does anyone know how I would be able to get the proper files (img/recovery/laf/modem etc.) onto my phone again?

Or is there any way for me to be able to get Download mode back onto my phone so I could return to stock using this guide?

[G2 General] Dene_Bluesman:
[MENTION=5872045]Rogybear[/MENTION] First off there is no support for Your variant which is actually a D803 in disguise, So any roms, basebands will have to be D803. Only way to get CM11 to work is to port it and have a D803 kernel. So stay away from D801 roms and such. Also ensure you have the latest drivers.

As much as I would like that to happen, there are no D803-exclusive ROMs because they get ported from other variants, so there would be no point.
[G2 General] omegajester:
Check out the OP in this thread, you'll see how different this device can get to be. Also, there's no exclusive roms because there was no interest overall for this model variant. If there's no interest to make a dedicated forum section for our phones, how can you expect to be any interest to make custom D803 roms? With this thread, other than to help people with a common, unloved model phone, was to start something for our phones...

If you read this thread slowly, you'll see that there's a few users that would be willing to start making/porting roms for these phones (as you can see in the OP, there's quite a few models that share identical software specs, even with different model numbers [D801/D803] . This includes myself.

If not a dedicated forum, I'd settle with a sticky. It would make things a lot easier for us people using these model phones (I know I went crazy the first time I soft bricked my phone and instructions for my phone were nowhere to be found).
