unlocked stock D801 speed limited compared to a stock D803 on Rogers network

[G2 General] BillyD325:
Won't flashing the partition update wipe my internal storage? Since it's rewriting how the disk is allocated I would think it would.

Also, I'm on stock Claro 4.2.2 with TWRP 2.6.3.4. I can't OTA to kit kat since I'm on T-Mobile (I thought this was a T-Mobile phone when I bought it, not the misnamed Canadian model). Can I follow the steps you outlined here (wipe, flash partition zip, flash KK stock baseband, flash Mahdi ROM, flash Mahdi fix for d803) or will more be required s since I'm not on KK yet? Dene_bluesman feel free to chime in too since you've given me some tips before.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I'm a single dad so finding time to muck with my phone is limited and I need to be reasonably sure I won't mess it up before I do anything.
[G2 General] phoenix_rizzen:
Nope. It only updates the RPM and TZ partitions. Doesn't touch any other partitions.

That's all I've done on my phone (RPM/TZ, kitkat baseband, Mahdi R1, Mahdi R1 patch for D803, SuperSu). The only official version of the LG ROM (or any LG-based ROM) that's been on it is the original 4.2.x that it shipped with, and that was only on there for a couple of days. :)

As the father of a 2-year old, I understand the sentiment of "who has time to fiddle; everything needs to work at all times". :)

Will this work on d801 USA?
[G2 General] BillyD325:
No. Read the OP. It specifically states that the T-Mobile d801 is not supported here. It has its own forum. This forum is for the d803 variants, including the "faux" d801 from ClaroPR, which is actually a d803 in disguse.

Thank you for your reply. You and Dene_bluesman have been so helpful. I feel like a noob after learning so much about modifying my HTC Amaze and my Nexus 7. I had no idea that this phone was so complicated.
[G2 General] lachlanmullen:
Trying to sort out the right process

I've read and re-read this thread a couple times, and each time I've tried to follow I make something worse. I'm sorry if this is a dumb reply...

I have a Claro PR D801 (aka D803) rooted running stock 4.2.2 and (used to, more below) have TWRP 2.6.3.2 flashed as recovery. I have been trying to upgrade to stock 4.4.2 using the various methods described in this topic:

I downloaded the CloudyStock, CloudyFlex, and CloudyPro ROMs for the D803, the KitKat baseband, and the SimpleKernel.

I tried flashing up to KK by:

1) Wiping all but storage

2) Flashing baseband

3) Flashing ROM

4) Flashing Kernel

I also tried without the kernel as the last step for each rom.

Each time the upgrade failed and I was booted back into TWRP after an initial unsuccessful boot. I restored nandroid,rebooted, and tried again.

After those didn't work, I thought my older TWRP recovery was the problem, so tried installing 2.6.3.4, which did not work. Thinking I was over complicating things, I tried flashing Philz through Flashify.

Now I can't boot into recovery at all, I get just fastboot instead. If I don't use

reboot recovery

or the recovery hardware method (Down+Power, release at logo, then Down+Power immediately) the rooted 4.2.2 stock ROM boots normally, except with high battery consumption and no screen rotation.

I tried upgrading using the Rogers KK KDZ, but I have a Win 7 x64 system and the method described in this forum seems to only work on x86 Windows systems.

My main questions are, in order:

1) How can I get recovery back (I feel like I'm climbing without a harness right now)?

2) What am I doing wrong in the upgrade process?
[G2 General] angel7501@live.com:
If you can still boot into the OS, get flashify and get the Rogers TWRP img file (2.3.2.2 or something) and flash with flashify. After that, flash the 2.6.3.4 TWRP (through the recovery) again and see if it works. If you want Cloudypro or CloudyStock all you need to flash (assuming you already have the KK baseband since you dont have rotation anymore) is the cloudypro.zip and attempt to boot. Since the latest cloudy roms have Aroma, all you have to do is choose d803 in the model selection prompt.

Kernel flashing should not be necessary unless youre attempting to flash a d802 rom, which doesnt have the correct kernel for the d803. If this doesnt work, let me know, all of this sounds like a bad flash
[G2 General] lachlanmullen:
I found the Rogers 2.6.3.2, tried flashing it through Flashify, and still get Fastboot instead of recovery. Is that the right Rogers TWRP?

Should I start my own topic for this? I've been using this forum for 5 years, but haven't interacted until now.

Thanks!
[G2 General] pichonCalavera:
I struggled the same as you, I have a Claro PR D801 and since they haven't upgraded to KitKat, I tried upgrading from Jelly Bean flashing the Stock Rom KiKat from Rogers using TWRR 2.6.3.2 and 2.6.3.4 and always keep failing because something could not mount and ended up in bootloop.

After many trial and error I finally got upgraded to the latest KitKat update from Rogers with Root with everything working great except for Knock Code (Knock On still works great) .

What I had to do is install the official .kdz Jelly Bean file from Rogers using the modifoed LG Update tool that's around here somewhere and from there start everything (root, install TWRP, flash rom, etc)

Just be warned that doing this will almost completly change your phone from a D801 to D803 (as you can see from my signature) , and I haven't tried going back to Claro PR Stock, from now on it's like I have a Rogers phone :D

If you have any questions ask here, I already spent a full weekend suffering upgrading lol .
[G2 General] angel7501@live.com:
The correct file for twrp should be this one http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/g2rog/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-g2rog.img

You could attempt to restore your phone through the flash tool, but Im not quite sure if it is compatible with X86 or not. Worth giving it a shot at this point, right? :P I'd suggest either rolling back to 4.2.2 or going straight for kitkat kdz

If that recovery file doesnt work, wait at least a day or two til [MENTION=1826290]omegajester[/MENTION] or [MENTION=5539374]Dene_Bluesman[/MENTION] assist you with more detail. They might know much much more than many of us. Good luck!
[G2 General] lachlanmullen:
Thanks for all the help so far. That's the recovery I've tried, I tried it again just to be sure and I can still only boot into Fastboot.

I appreciate all the help.

[G2 General] lachlanmullen:
Thanks! Your PM ad the previous post encouraged m to start over, and I was able to flash the latest Philz recovery.img in Flashify, then the K Baseband, then CloudyStock.

Everything works now except for data. I suspect something didn't stick with the KK Baseband? WiFi works fine, as do calls and SMS.

I've never seen more than 15 down on rogers here though :( I'm in victoria

Owner of http://www.ootpapps.com & a D803
[G2 General] lachlanmullen:
OK, mystery is advancing...

Testing menu (*#*#4636#*#*) shows the correct settings for LET, and switching things off and on again doesn't change the connection.

I can get the phone to connect to E, 3G, and H, if I go into the Mobile Networks settings and select "GSM only" then flip it back to LTE. I can even use internet for about 30 seconds before I lose data. Rinse, Lather, Repeat.

So the modems and the SW are capable of connecting and giving data, but the connection doesn't persist.

If we can get this working I think I should start a thread for "KitKat for Claro PR D801/803."

Thanks for the help so far, guys.

My Claro PR G2 is stock on: Ingresar PIN/Contraseña para desencryptar.(Insert Pin/ password to descrypt) screen and i have no idea how to solve this.. i tried flashing the stock kdz in this thread and after the flashing process the same screen came up..i have stock recovery and tried factory reset too and didnt worked...

Can any of you help me please??
[G2 General] lachlanmullen:
Solution for T-Mobile LTE

I found the fix, and I'll be relaying this over to the CloudyStock topic, since the dev can probably fix it:

1) Edit build.prop

a) Change ro.telephone.default_network=9 to 11

b) Change telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0 to 1 (There may already be another set to 1, change the one set to 0 to 1)

2) Reboot

3) Dial 3846#*803# and click on LTE_only > Modem Settings > RAT Selection > GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto

4) Go to settings > Tethering &Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names, press Menu > New APN and fill in the following values:

Name=T-Mobile US LTE

MMSC=http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

MCC=310

MNC=260

APN Type=default,supl,admin,dun,mms

You should now have T-Mobile LTE on a Claro PR D801 (D803)

[G2 General] omegajester:
Just a heads up guys, I sold my G2 and bought a S5 for a while now... but just to set the record, the G2 has been one of the best phones I've had, but I rarely stay with a phone more than 4-5 months (I had the G2 for 6 months so that's a lot).

Also, if you want to see something in the OP (info, guide etc) just make a post of it in an organized fasahion, tag me in the post and I'll add it, giving credit where credit is due.
[G2 General] Dene_Bluesman:
How are you liking the S5 so far? Am thinking of getting it too
[G2 General] omegajester:
I was unsure if getting one would be the right call, as I've owned almost all of the galaxy branded phone, and I thought I'd be buying another revamped S3/S4. Almost bought an M8. Glad I didn't. I'm loving my S5 so far. And oí course, development is crazy on these phone. So far I'm happy camper.

No kitkat update for claro users yet?
[G2 General] BillyD325:
I haven't seen it. I can't do OTA anyway since my Claro is on T-Mobile. I've downloaded the Rogers Kit Kat ROM and am going to flash it using TWRP (2.6.3.2 since the link to 2.6.3.4 doesn't work any more). Then attempt to do the AutoRec and get 2.7.0.0. I still don't get why TWRP doesn't make a variant for these phones. It can't be that much to tweak it for a different version of the same phone. I have been slow in getting my phone updated. Every time I plan to do it something comes up and I need my phone for something. After I get the recovery updated I'm going to try Mahdi. I really don't like LG's UI and got spoiled for AOSP on my N7 and my previous phone.
[G2 General] iTzGavin96:
This thread is fantastic. Got my phone rooted and got twrp installed in 15 minutes. What i think it is is i bought a g2 d801 off amazon brand new, turns out its the claro wireless version from puerto rico. Still being a d801 I assumed all the tmobile stuff would work. The claro version of this phone literally looks like the identical twin to the rogers version from canada just using the d801 body for tmobile and a modified kernel. Dunno just my hyopthesis, probably am wrong but either way thank you so much for putting this thread together :) +1
[G2 General] BillyD325:
Yep I did the same thing. Bought a d801 off Swappa thinking it was a T-Mobile phone. I knew it didn't have the T-Mobile logo but it came with the "Quad Beats" headphones, which the one you buy from T-Mobile doesn't. (The headphones aren't all that by the way. My ThinkSound 2 ones I already had are much better.) Anyway, after digging around on here I realized I didn't have T-mobile phone. I have rooted it and have TWRP on it. Now I just need to find time to do all I need to do to get the stock KitKat on it, use AutoRec to update to TWRP 2.7, and flash a new AOSP ROM on here and I'll be happy.

Modems/Radio

I have question, first of all, I am on the T-Mobile network in USA, so the question is; which modem /radio works best for LG stock ROM /Mods for both JB and KK giving full 4G and LTE?

Another question, if I restore a nand backup from CWM does it also restore the modem?
[G2 General] Dene_Bluesman:
which variant? claro d801?
[G2 General] iTzGavin96:
in general recoveries do not touch the modem. So you may want to backup your EFS with the EFS backup utility (google search for it, universal device IMEI backup tool)

Quick question, you wouldnt happen to still be running your g2 on stock claro would you ? im in desperate need of a claro g2 with a stock recovery or a backup of it to install it back onto my phone

Lg G2 Claro PR D801 KDZ Download Mirror

Hey i thought you may want to add this to the thread as alot of people are reporting the claro d801 pr kdz link as dead, well i was able to download it and use it to return my d801 claro g2 back to 100% unrooted stock recovery and everything, so i thought id make a mirror of it.

https://mega.co.nz/#!LNQCwRRY!nDfhnFPB6QUfNNC9ladjqgR-WEvFuOWgDis6GQbo5xY

The way i got this to work was i had to be running the jellybean that came with the phone as well as the stock claro baseband. If your not running the stock claro baseband, (downloadable and flasable via this threads op) then you will get an error at 49% and it will not work. I have not tried running this on a kitkat based rom with the claro jellybean baseband, so feel free to see if it takes the kdz, but this is how i got my claro g2 back to 100% stock!

[MENTION=1826290]omegajester[/MENTION]
[G2 General] Kenepo:
I can confirm this is a 100% true. I almost went crazy when trying to flash a KK kdz on my phone a couple months ago. I don't even remember why but I decided to flash JB instead of KK. Since JB flashed completely I then tried again with KK and finally managed to flash it completely. Every time I tried to flash KK directly I got the same error at 49%. So if anyone wants to flash a kdz and it's giving you this error try flashing JB first.

*** UPDATE 1 ***

So I used the instructions here with the .laf file from here. Now I have download mode back at least!

*** UPDATE 2 ***

Then I used the .KDZ method from here with a .KDZ file for the Videotron D803 from here. Fixed and sorted!

On wind or videotron? could very well be a baseband issue, I know D803 baseband is compatible with the Canadian D801, I would suggest going back to stock using the KDZ method, that way you never have to flash another baseband again to avoid issues.
