Sounds as if its not flashing at all. What custom recovery are you using? After flashing, do you see a "Failed" in the text feild? I use the TWRP that came from the AutoRec.apk, which is 2.7.0.0 and I only bootlooped when flashing this rom when I didnt know I had to flash the ZV8 radio. Once i flashed it, it worked. Try this, if on TWRP, go to Wipe, Advanced wipe, select everything EXCEPT FOR INTERNAL STORAGE. Dont check that one or you'll be stuck without any roms. Then go back to the Reboot option and click Reboot Recovey (it may say no OS installed or not rooted, just click no to either). IN CASE it doesnt reboot into recovery for X or Y reason, hold power for 20 seconds (until its comoletely off) then hold Volume down first then press power while continuing to hold Vol Down until it says Loading Recovery. Then try to flash the CM11 here (Gapps optional) and flash the ZV8 radio. It should work. Like i said if your restoring back to stock, whatever radio you were on, flash that one. If you have all radios downloaded onto your interal and dont know the radio from your stock, flash a radio and see if it boots, if not, go back to recovery and flash another until it boots, thats your radio version. (Theres ZV7, ZV8, ZVA and the final update ZVC)

Its working now, thanks for your help
[Sprint LG G2] Crossvxm:
Any time.
[Sprint LG G2] dtx.boy:
I couldn't find tellinfo on the playstore but I just set preferred network to GSM/WCDMA/LTE on mobile networks and it worked, I get 4g on tmobile and I didn't even have to set the apn. My problem is that GPS still doesn't work, wht I did was a full wipe, factory reset, flash official CM11 for the LG-LS980, flash gapps (I used the zip file from the OP)... am I missing some extra steps?
[Sprint LG G2] Dalamar1320:
Been reading these posts, but I want to make sure.

I'm on zvc, twrp, custom ROM. Would my steps be to boot to twrp recovery, wipe, flash ROM, flash gapps, flash zv8 radio, roboot? I don't want to brick my phone but I can't get a clear process from coming from zvc. Thanks in advance

what exactly isnt working? is LTE?

How??
[Sprint LG G2] Jaimesco12:
Hey guys I successfully unlocked. I insert my metropcs sim and then call up metro to assign the IMEI and they said they don't support cmda phones here in Vegas. Anyone know how to get it to work on metro ?
[Sprint LG G2] Crossvxm:
Lol they're idiots. Take it to them and explain that it also supports GSM as well. They probably thought you where mentioning "flashing" since you said you wanted an IMEI. When your unlocked, your new service provider's serial numbers and what not remain in their sim, your Sprint IMEI will always be on your phone.

Ive tried using their sim card and it doesn't work out, but some members have explained success.

Also remember there is a T-Mobile stock LG based rom floating around, perhaps you may wanna try your luck there.
[Sprint LG G2] Jaimesco12:
Yeah I know lol but I called again and they said their system won't let them assign the imei because its CDMA and I keep on telling them that it also supports gsm but they say they can't..
[Sprint LG G2] Crossvxm:
Go to one of their retailers and tell them. Here in New York and ESPECIALLY in Jersey we have some Metro PCS dealers with signs in their windows that clearly says "Bring your unocked iPhone or Android device....bla bla bla" something about they'll give you a sim and you can have them activate it right there.
[Sprint LG G2] Jaimesco12:
I'll try that if that fails then I'm just gonna switch to T-Mobile I'm tired of this calling them to switch my phone crap.
[Sprint LG G2] Crossvxm:
Yeah its better if you bring it to them with the stock based t-mobile rom instead that way if anything you can claim its from T-mobile. And either way trust me T-Mobile would be better
[Sprint LG G2] Jaimesco12:
Yeah the only thing keeping me with metro is 60$ plan on T-Mobile its 80
[Sprint LG G2] Crossvxm:
You can always customize your plan with Tmo depending on your data usages. I would love my plan to be limited calls, texts and unlimited data since in reality all I do isnsurf the web and play some online games.
[Sprint LG G2] AdamBlue:
Keep trying by calling them up. I've had them tell me they can;t but then later get someone that would. The people that add my IMEI don't even ask for the model of phone...they just put it in and make sure the sim number matches.
[Sprint LG G2] Jaimesco12:
Had to call them 8 times until finally a guy who could actually speak English did it for me
[Sprint LG G2] ChrisFSU:
THIS!!!

Just flash the ZV8 radio and all is good!

[Sprint LG G2] ktetreault14:
I would like to know to
[Sprint LG G2] younggunner:
update on how to use aosp roms.

currently i am running blissful rom for the ls980 with android L - its awesome.

most roms now from the aosp options can be used with updating your radio to the correct radio, and then updating the rom to the aosp. calls and text should work out the door in most aosp roms. I also use Teleinfo to switch the data sweetings for GSM. after you've swapped tot he gsm settings, wait for signal to come and do a reboot. you should have 4g lte data. You should play around on which setting you choose as some do not support out going data. GSM / CDMA GLOBAL should work.

:cool:

give a thanks and pm me if you need any help.

thanks again and happy flashing!

[Sprint LG G2] Jammmmm:
I just switched to T-Mobile, I am running Blisspop on my LS-980 as well with ZV8 radio. I have my T Mo sim card in and I went to the testing menu and changed it to GSM and then rebooted. When I try to call it says your account cannot be validated. Do I need a different radio?

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

I got it! My apologies. Just had to switch to GSM in the "Other" menu for cell networks.
[Sprint LG G2] rpetrover:
No signal

I was able to get the rom installed and booting. But once i get in I tried 3 different T-Mobile cards and it does not pick up any signal. It will only let me select 2G,3G,LTE modes under mobile network settings and none give me any signal. Is there something else I need to change?
[Sprint LG G2] kevitoNY:
Installed ROM inserted my MetroPCS sim in the LS980....the service is off...this didn't work.
[Sprint LG G2] younggunner:
I've tested T-Mobile and metro and it has settings for att, should have a sim soon to test that on soon, winter storm up here's got the snow coming atm
[Sprint LG G2] bxplaya:
The question is did anybody successfully download the rom at least can that get confirmed?
[Sprint LG G2] thachng9:
ngsor

confirmed it worked.. but i still can't get data or 4g.. i am using ATT
[Sprint LG G2] AKfortyseven:
Why would it? The LS980 doesn't have any useful LTE bands for any other carriers
[Sprint LG G2] rombreaker:
I have LTE on my Sprint G2 on T-Mobile. It's possible. Though my ls980 thinks it a d801. Haha
[Sprint LG G2] thachng9:
I can't do that with my Lg for ATT.. can you show me how ?
[Sprint LG G2] younggunner:
Try going into mobile network and try registering with att from the menu
[Sprint LG G2] AKfortyseven:
I call bull****
[Sprint LG G2] bxplaya:
I dont know he specifically said T-mobile, AT&T and MetroPcs and the Rom downloaded ok, Im in Rayglobeflex rom D802 on my LS980 everything seems to work when i used my friends Spot Mobile SIM card except NFC and i like the flex rom more than the CM11's. My phone isnt connected just been messing with it and thru RayglobeFlex i honestly dont know what GSM i could go on that mostly everything will work 4G LTE is not really likely with tmobile and metro cause of the bands even if it thinks its a D801,802,803 LS/VS 980 the phone itself is what connects to the band the hardware as i would think so it will get 2g,3g,4g and hspa,hspa+ if its in their band range, but i could be wrong just my opinion. Just want to know if this CM11 could connect to almost any GSM with no problems and everything mostly working really dont care for NFC for which i dont use it anyways....
[Sprint LG G2] rombreaker:
I won a free LG G2 in Sprint & LG 's Sweepstakes. I have 4G on T-Mobile. It is possible.
[Sprint LG G2] AKfortyseven:
UMTS=HSPA

That is not LTE

I'm guessing the sprint phone doesn't have the H icon and therefore uses 4G icon instead.
[Sprint LG G2] bxplaya:
4G ok thats was up but isnt 4G LTE different and faster. And what ROM and steps and whats working if you dont mind me asking?
[Sprint LG G2] nannankevin:
Very interesting.
[Sprint LG G2] drlake1956:
How did you get it to connect to T-Mobile
[Sprint LG G2] mchlbenner:
You have to have a t.mobile sim card to work.
[Sprint LG G2] drlake1956:
OK thanks
[Sprint LG G2] Bl00dRunzC0ld:
Is this working or not? OP says it is but I think some of you are saying it almost bricked your phones.
[Sprint LG G2] htc fan89:
It failed to flash for me....
[Sprint LG G2] juggamonkey:
Failed to flash for me also
[Sprint LG G2] st3wart:
Flashed for me but boot looped

Edit: I figured it out, it works great. Just cannot get my calendar to sync. Besides that works great. And I'm using it on T-Mobile! Thanks for the great work!

Why do the OP's screenshots look like they are an AOSP ROM and these newer ones from rombreaker are Stock looking? Two different situations? I might be missing something
[Sprint LG G2] T.C.P:
because op uploaded modified cm 11 rom, and the other dude has it on stock rom
[Sprint LG G2] st3wart:
It is AOSP!
[Sprint LG G2] younggunner:
Glad it worked Stewart. I am in the process of porting a few other roms I think people will like, if you would like to beta test some of these ket me know: )
[Sprint LG G2] Bl00dRunzC0ld:
So one person besides the OP got this to work? Those odds aren't good. I think i'll stick with Justin's rom.
[Sprint LG G2] rombreaker:
OP needs edit. You need to flash ZV8 Radio. It works.
[Sprint LG G2] younggunner:
Edited and updated.
[Sprint LG G2] Bl00dRunzC0ld:
Since I'm on Justin's rom already, If I wanted to go to this, would I flash back to Sprint stock rom, then flash radio if needed, then flash this?
[Sprint LG G2] rombreaker:
Just flash ZV8 radio on top of Justin's ROM. Wipe. Flash.
[Sprint LG G2] blakeatl:
This would be great to get my LS980 off of Sprint and onto Metro/T-mobile later on in the year.

[Sprint LG G2] Bl00dRunzC0ld:
I was able to go back to the stock Sprint ROM. I've been working at it since I posted my last post.

Go here and download the tools pack in that thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2542442

This youtube video walks you through setting up the flash tool and what you should do. When it says to unplug the phone and power off then plug back in, I just unplugged and plugged back in while holding Volume up button. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqw_LFuyHbE

I did everything in this video and it kept saying fail since it shows that it is a T-Mobile G2 and not a Sprint. To fix that, I went in to TWRP and wiped system, cache, dalvik, and data. Then it worked perfectly. I'm now back on stock.
[Sprint LG G2] juggamonkey:
Make sure you have twrp 2.6.3.3 and if your on Justin's Rom flash back to.Sprint stock then zv8 radio. Then recovery wipe data, system ,dalvik cache And cache. Flash cm11 , then gapps. Reboot good to go
[Sprint LG G2] Bl00dRunzC0ld:
Still fails and puts me in to only booting to recovery. Time for me to give up trying to run this.

I'll run this for a few days to see how it is. Need to let the battery get in to its groove because right now it's dropping quick. So far it's a decent rom though. Really smooth and quick.
[Sprint LG G2] pthomas1991:
So i'm guessing that LTE support for ATT and TMO with the Sprint G2 is not possible because of the lack of LTE bands on the sprint phone?
[Sprint LG G2] younggunner:
Correct, we do have hspa+ available which is standard 4g non lte

Can i flash this OP rom on my updated zva firmware?? Which one is better, justins or this one??? PLS links...

Does this support LTE yet? I'm switching from Sprint to T-Mo and my mom needs a phone to use so rather than buying another G2 I figured I would give her mine.
[Sprint LG G2] ceyo14:
Sprint uses different bands for LTE. It wont work as far as i know
[Sprint LG G2] yoitsjustin:
Shift. Really? That's annoying :/// I was thinking that the G2 was a worldwide phone and should therefore be able to use T Mo's LTE.

---------- Post added at 05:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 AM ----------

Wait does 4G at least work? What do you guys average on 4G in terms of mgps down on T Mo?
[Sprint LG G2] ceyo14:
Yes hspa does work but the refarmed ones
[Sprint LG G2] yoitsjustin:
What do you mean by refarmed? And by HSPA do you mean HSPA+ (4G I believe that is, right)? Also, if you have T-Mobile what do you average on 4G?
[Sprint LG G2] ceyo14:
You can see the difference. The first 2 are 4g and the 3rd is edge... done right now.

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

Refarmed are the new towers. They are using one of att bands. Old towers are the aws band which only tmobile phones have access to. In the metro area and dense places you'll have 4g but here when you start going to the mountains or some other city's you get edge where my sensation would still have 4g but some places even the sensation has edge...

---------- Post added at 10:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

The 5th is wifi and the 4th and 6th are 4g
[Sprint LG G2] yoitsjustin:
How do I find out if my area is refarmed or not? And dang, 4G is fast(er) than my wifi and 3g combined so then I guess if we have refarmed towers I'll switch.
[Sprint LG G2] nickeedoo:
Still can't get GPS to work on the latest nightly out of the box or with the gps fix listed earlier.
[Sprint LG G2] younggunner:
Correct. We get hspa+ which is 4g, just not lte
[Sprint LG G2] ceyo14:
Besides on a one x i had i compared and at that spot hspa was 5mb and lte was 6mb... not worth the slower ping and baytery life
[Sprint LG G2] younggunner:
nekeedoo im working on a better gps system. current gps seems to be working fine through google maps, and navigation, but it is a little slow to update the location of the moving vehicle. thanks for reporting your findings.

as far as hspa+ speeds go it depends on your area, in most cases i get around 5-7mb down and 2mb up, but at home i get around 10-14mbps with 2-3up.

thats just my reflection on the data speeds, again each market and area will be different but its definitely a huge upgrade from 3g and Im never lacking or lusting for more data speeds currently.
[Sprint LG G2] bugsih:
I keep getting updates from CM, can I update or should i wait till the original post gets updated. I don't want to loose my gsm functioning phone.
[Sprint LG G2] yoitsjustin:
Try dirty updating (no erasing.) If it messes up the GSM then dirty flash this zip back because it won't erase any data. Also you could do a backup using TWRP or CWM and then dirty flash the ROM. If it fails restore from the backup.
[Sprint LG G2] yoitsjustin:
Does 2G work on this ROM as well as 4G? I know LTE doesn't work due to lack of bands.
[Sprint LG G2] yoitsjustin:
People that have had both Sprint and T-Mobile during 2014: Which do you think is overall faster and/or has better coverage?
[Sprint LG G2] asj2583:
Has anyone had issues where the phone will freeze to where it doesn't respond to touch until the screen goes off and what do i need to modify to get a updated cm11 working for our phones? I know how to port a stock roms by replacing the boot.img, loki and meta-inf files, hw and modules and gps.conf from Justin rom. Would this apply to cm11 roms as well?
[Sprint LG G2] bugsih:
Yep mine freezes the same. I'd like to try a different Rom as well but don't want to lose the USA gsm functionality.
[Sprint LG G2] asj2583:
You can try justinswidebody's stock T-Mobile rom ---> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6HYWZRx8JLsZlBlbUt1c0MwYjQ/edit?usp=sharing , which will allow you be stock with unlocked GSM functions. Word of advice though don't take any updates as it will brick your phone. You can also use this as a base and modify any lg g2 intl rom by following justinswidebody's tut....

How to port international roms

1. Download the rom I have already posted. This is going to be your Base rom

2. Download the rom you want to port. This is going to be your Port rom

3. Download a program called "beyond compare" trust me on this one. It is the best.

4. Install beyond compare.

5. now in beyond compare open up file compare.

6. on the left side put whatever rom you want to compare

7. on the right side put the other rom you want to compare to

8. on the Port rom, go ahead and delete Meta-inf, Loki if there is one, and boot.img

9. Now copy these 3 files from above from your base rom and put them into the port rom.

10. Open up the lib folder.

11. On your port rom, delete the hardware and modules folder

12. Now copy these to folders from your base rom and put them in your port rom

13.now find the Etc folder

14. Find gps.conf

15. copy it from your base rom to your port rom.

16.If trying to port a Verizon rom, open up bin folder and copy over the sensors.qcom and sensorservice from base to port rom. (this will prevent the rotation from being off 90 degrees.

17. That should do it for you guys. now put your ported rom on your phone and flash it in recovery.
[Sprint LG G2] topurdue:
Thanks for the post. I picked up a sprint lg g2 for 125 with bad esn attached to account. Turned it into a T-Mobile phone in about 15 minutes and it seems to be working perfectly.
[Sprint LG G2] asj2583:
Glad it helped. Like i said above just don't take any updates as it will mess up the phone. You can turn off the update notification by going into settings, apps, swip left to all and look for google services framework and uncheck show notifications also go into you system/apps with a root explorer and delete both lgfota.apk and lgfota.odex. Good luck.
