Frequencies T-Mobile US

Ok my research says and phone says that it supports 700/1700 band on box and Claro website confirms 1700 LTE, I am assuming this is unbranded T-Mobile Puerto Rico since they have same region so it supports 700b and 1700f frequencies so it will do LTE for T-Mobile US....which is good, T-Mobile US can support 1700f.

If anyone wants a stock LG kitkat with a dark ui, I highly recommend Cloudyflex 2.0. In the Aroma installer you can select D803. It is very stable and smooth.
[G2 General] Uniquetx:
hello, are you currently using this rom? do you recomended it? if there is any problem i can downgrado to 4.2.2?
[G2 General] Dene_Bluesman:
Be sure to backup prior to flashing, you will still have recovery if you use the patched baseband and kernel found in OP. Nothing really special about this rom. Stock with bloat hehe
[G2 General] ka24e:
Hi All,

I just picked up an LG G2 D803 (Rogers). It came with 4.4.2 already on it, stock. I managed to hunt around in the forums and get root access working which is fine for now. I'm very familiar with the SG III, Nexus One/S/4/5 and some older HTC devices, but the cluster**** that this is, amazes me.

I've read through the whole thread (and it's possible I missed it) but, is there a way to do the following:

1. Downgrade to stock 4.2.2.

2. Root.

3, Flash custom recovery (Philz or TWRP, I'm familar with both, whatever gets the job done I could care less).

4. Load a D802 build of Cyanogenmod with Furnace Kernel (Or another Kernel).

A simple step by step would be appreciated. I really only need to know how (if possible) to downgrade the damn thing and the rest is gravy. I can change the updater script for CM no prob.

Thanks :)
[G2 General] Dene_Bluesman:
that is exactly what you need to do, now to find the stock 4.2.2

[G2 General] Dene_Bluesman:
have root and custom recovery?
[G2 General] Dani01c:
Yes I rooted with some Chinese program that installs kinguser and its pretty annoying because y have to grant to kinguser to grant permission to SuperSU and I think its not legit because when I flash something in twrp, when I wipe cache and dalvik it stays there forever and phone shuts down. I want to bring it back to stock and start over with another root but first I need stock firmware which I can't seem to find anywhere.

Btw, forgot to ask. What the order in which I should flash things if I want to move from stock 4.2.2 to cloudy which is 4.4.2? baseband first then d803 kernel and then the rom right? and also change the twrp recovery to philz? If I do that, would I be getting rid of the kinguser crap?
[G2 General] jamesrfraser:
What post are you refering to?so there is no custom recovery yet without downgrading?even down grading is confusing
[G2 General] Kenepo:
Hi guys hope you all doing great. I need some help with a situation I came up with today. I'll link a post I made in the AEON thread with all the details of what happened. If anyone here can help with this it will be very appreciated.

<<<AEON Post Link>>>

I'm guessing that since the solution for this might involve making a full wipe and factory reset it might me a good moment to jump to 4.4 too. I'm a bit confused on that topic cuz I really haven't had much time lately to read around the threads so if anyone here knows the tricks and steps for making the upgrade to KitKat and can guide me it would be great.

But first I got to solve this problem because I can't pretty much do anything with the phone right now. It will just reboot after a minute or so after booting.

Thanks in advance and for your time, cheers :good: :)
[G2 General] Dene_Bluesman:
did you change any kernel settings? still have the rom in storage? can try reflashing that.

wipe

dalvik cache

cache

data

system

NOT INTERNAL STORAGE

and try restoring the backup or doing a clean install
[G2 General] Kenepo:
No and Yes. Already tried that too. Did a clean install with the wipes you mentioned and no luck. This is very weird, last time this happened to me it was because of some changes I made in Trickster mod but I managed to fix it by wiping cache.

This time I got no clue on what is causing this. The only thing I did was boot recovery, delete a backup from February, make a new one and then reboot. When the phone booted back up it started doing this crap.
[G2 General] Uniquetx:
Finally I dared

Hello there, so after reading, and reading, i decided to try a custom stock room, i downloaded cleanROM 2.0, i also downloaded dorimanx kernel for d803, so far i had experienced fc when trying to acces to mobile networks, and i just noticed my rotation is not working, tried to calibrate but it also fc :( , any idea what i could have done wrong? i did al wipes before and after flashing the rom and the kernel.
[G2 General] Dani01c:
Is there any way to bring back a phone that won't go past the LG logo? I can't even get to recovery.... I was going to install cloudy ROM so I wiped everything except storage and it got stuck at the system wipe. Now when I boot it it stays at the LG logo, I can't even turn it off. I'm so depressed.
[G2 General] Dene_Bluesman:
try volume down and power til it reboots to lg logo, release and hit the combo again til you see the factory reset screen, hit power button 3 times to get back to recovery, takes a little practice. cheers

[G2 General] Uniquetx:
Well i bought this phone from amazon and it was sold to me as new. never open, it came with 4.2.2, and i just began to try flashing a custom rom, i tried to flash the stock claro/pr modem, then installed the rom and the kernel and still having the same issue, it looks like this cleanrom version is for att as i see a virtual voice mail that says att, could be that the problem?

Simple instructions for JB to KK and back?

Thanks compiling all of this! I have read through the thread but I just wanted to ask prior to flashing a kk rom so I dont screw anything up.

Currently I am on the stock Rogers kernel, with AeonFlex 4.2.2 by Bigfau and the AeonFlex Canadian D803 patch (which installs the correct boot.img), with TWRP 2.6etc as my recovery.

Should I want to try CloudyFlex (or any 4.4.2 kk rom) while keeping root and TWRP, would the following be correct?

Flash the KK baseband in OP

Factory reset wipe, then flash the CloudyFlex rom

Reboot

And if I wanted to return to a 4.2.2 rom, would I:

Flash the stock Rogers D803 kernel in OP

Factory reset wipe, then flash the 4.2.2 rom

Alternatively, would I be able to simply restore from kk to jb TWRP without flashing the corresponding baseband? (probably a stupid question)

Is this all in order? Am I missing anything? I've read that we can't get custom recoveries on the kk baseband, but I'm not sure if that is still the case to this date.

Edit: I found some simple instructions by kewkie. I'm unsure of what #5 "Clean ROM/Fresh install on PhilZ first!" means. Can anyone clarify step 5 and/or confirm that these instructions are identical for the D803?

Thanks
[G2 General] Dene_Bluesman:
to return to 4.2.2 you will also have to flash 4.2.2 baseband. I have always been on twrp 2.6.3.4 and havent had any issues flashing kitkat. cheers
[G2 General] ipandroid:
I haven't attempted flashing stock kitkat with TWRP. I simply flashed Philz recovery through TWRP, full wipe, then the following Kk baseband, then Cloudyflex. In aroma you select d803. Reboot.

I managed to get it into recovery again just wondering how long does wiping take you guys? Mine always stays at "Formatting cache using make_ext4fs function. It stays there for the longest time ever...

Hi, i'm trying to get back to stock Claro D801. I was on Cloudy Stock 1.3. Problem is this, i flashed a back up of mu stock rooted rom but when i reboot i seem to have all the international version icons (not the Claro PR ones) but that's ok. Problem is when i reboot my G2 it wont rotate screen on any app. I went to recovery again, wipe cache and dalvik cache and flashed Stock D801 Claro PR Kernel and Stock Claro Modem and problem is still there. I don't know what else to do but to return to stock via kdz.

But before trying that i'll try a full data wipe, think that could help??? BTW, i'm no noob on Android, been here since my Captivate but it's the first LG device that i have since de 4xhd and it was so bad that i ended up giving it to my son.

Hey there, well i found out that the rom i used what meant for d800 :crying: so i decided to try cloudystock and so far i like how it goes, and my rotation, choosing mobile networks and calibration of sensors works flawlessly! just if something happens and i want to go back to any 4.2.2 rom, which baseband should i flash? i mean i think i'm confused baseband is the same as the modems zips that are in OP? :confused: if not where can i find the 4.2.2 claro/pr baseband to have it stored in my backups?
[G2 General] Dene_Bluesman:
good to know you are back up and running, yes basebands are the same as modems, also as far as i know Rogers are identical to the claro, wouldnt worry too much about it if you plan on staying on 4.2.2 based roms. cheers

Which PhilZ did you use? I noticed there is no PhilZ for the D803 variant. Flashing with TWRP 2.6 results in a phone that shows the LG splash, then boots straight into TWRP.. :(. My procedure: From JB I flashed the patched KK kernel and then CloudyFlex 2.0 in TWRP 2.6.

So I installed Paranoid Android (4.4.2 custom rom) and I'm having a few issues with it (randomly freezing etc.) does installing the kit-kat baseband fix these issues? Can I install it right away or do I need to do: Backup Rom/factory reset -> Flash D803 Baseband --> Flash Rom/Flash Backup Rom.

I thought that the procedure for installing baseband was to do a factory reset, then install baseband, then ROM. I was asking if its alright if I could just go ahead and flash the baseband for kitkat on top of my current ROM?

Does anyone know how to get TWRP 2.7 for D803? The autorec procedure isn't very clear to me :s.

I got CM latest nightlies working on the D803 pretty easily.

Assuming you are coming from Stock 4.4.2 or 4.2.2:

1. Root your phone with ioRoot 2.5.

2. Download CM Nightly D802, extract the zip, edit the \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script file:

Change All instances at the top of the file to d803

d802 = d803

galbi = d803

d800 = d803

SAVE THE FILE. Zip the files back up.

3. Run AutoRec so it installs the TWRP recovery and patches everything.

4. Reboot to recovery.

5. Do a backup if you want, but go ahead and wipe everything (Cache/system/data etc).

6. Use ADB Push to push your CM zip and PAGAPPs zip to your phone: (You'll need android SDK and drivers installed).

ex:

adb push cm.zip /sdcard/cm.zip

adb push gapps.zip /sdcard/gapps.zip

ALSO push over (i've only tested with this kernel): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2572992 for d803

Install in this order:

CM

Gapps

Kernel

Reboot! YOU ARE DONE, latest CM nightly running fine on D803.

Fortunately I had made backups with efs backup before hand.

I want to install this lightning ROM, but he very explicitly says only use the latest version of Philz. Does he not know what he is talking about and 2.6.3.4 TWRP should work fine?

I've only ever had one Aroma ROM installer work, which was CloudyStock 1.0. Every other one I've tried would quit halfway through and the ROM would not launch.
[G2 General] Arctic Prodigy:
I used flashify to flash both of boot and aboot img, I flashed new philz recovery when I booted into philz recovery.
[G2 General] Dene_Bluesman:
I was a tester, tried on twrp and lost imei, phone number, etc so be sure to back up efs,

CloudyproII 2.0 works great for the D803 variant, just need the kk baseband and the rom does the rest
[G2 General] Liquid5n0w:
Where are the boot.img and aboot.img files? Inside the zip? I only see the recovery.img file there.
[G2 General] Arctic Prodigy:
I used an efs backup utility and had backed up all partitions and img, I had done this prior to it freezing up on me, I had used the backup img for this.

I have seen somewhere, someone hosted those img as well as stock Claro ROM or KDZ, but I couldn`t say where I seen them, maybe in one of th OP links for stock rom but couldn`t be sure.
[G2 General] Liquid5n0w:
I'm confused why the boot section of the image would cause Philz CWM to cause these problems. I could just backup my boot and flash it, but I don't think that would solve much.

Has anyone else been able to get CWM working correctly on the D803? and what is causing the problem?
[G2 General] Dene_Bluesman:
I am on twrp 2.7.0.0 I will try philz, when i get it working i will post here
[G2 General] Arctic Prodigy:
It has been a while, I may have also flashed the recovery img too, it was initially updating philz touch that caused a signiture problem when booting but regardless I was having problem booting into recovery before that, But after flashing with flashify I had no problems since.
[G2 General] Liquid5n0w:
I really wish I could just get the recovery.img of 2.7.0.0 so I can use that instead.
[G2 General] hotnikkelz:
whats stopping you?

Download flashify from store get the recovery.img and flash it. Ask Dene bluesman for the link
