Probably going to end up using the tool and flashing back to stock, but wanted any advice first. Was running stock rooted 4.2.2 fine for a while. Flashed pacman yesterday, all was good. Flashed this rooted 4.4.2 this morning, booted fine but every time I locked the screen I'd just get lines when I went to unlock, wiped and reflashed same thing. Wiped and tried to flash the rooted 4.2.2 and it wouldn't boot. Flashed backed to pacman and running fine now.
[T-Mobile LG G2] theghazi:
I never did flash the original 4.4.2 with new partition. Always ran Mahdi and other ROM. So I went straight to step 5.

Flash the ROM. Flash the supersu.

Its boots fine. But once display offs every 2 minutes. It wake up but screen in messed up. Every wake I have to reboot the phone. What did I do wrong ??
[T-Mobile LG G2] suppliesidejesus:
Thanks again, dr! Looking forward to your kernel for this, bricked mp decision is my preferred mp decision.
[T-Mobile LG G2] nimrodsv:
Could I flash a the g2 pro rom after I take off the unneeded images from it's zip so I would keep the recovery (after I flash the rom attached here)?
[T-Mobile LG G2] ledvedder:
I'm not sure if this was asked, but I don't see mention of it in the OP. Can I dirty flash this over a 4.2.2 rom? I'd hate to have to completely go through setup again, since I have everything just as I like it.
[T-Mobile LG G2] suppliesidejesus:
I would guess yes, but I do not know for sure.
[T-Mobile LG G2] bfranklin1986:
This is exactly what I was having too
[T-Mobile LG G2] ledvedder:
I guess I'll give it a shot.
[T-Mobile LG G2] theghazi:
so then how did you solve it :)
[T-Mobile LG G2] bfranklin1986:
I didn't, went back to Pac man for now
[T-Mobile LG G2] vipercoyote:
I just got this phone, what is the easiest way to flash a recovery. Im baffled???????
[T-Mobile LG G2] exhibitA:
If you're rooted, just go to the play store and download Freegee.
[T-Mobile LG G2] vipercoyote:
Thx trying now

worked, your awesome thx man
[T-Mobile LG G2] freakyd9984:
It's their a way to root the new kit Kat update 4.4.2 without using a computer? Thank you if someone could help me out
[T-Mobile LG G2] Z-Man™:
No
[T-Mobile LG G2] MikeyFid:
Flashify works great too if you have any trouble with that :thumbup:
[T-Mobile LG G2] dr87:
You need to full wipe everything but internal storage in TWRP at the start of step 6 - my fault for not saying this in the OP, I just added it in. It could cause issues if you don't. Never seen this issue otherwise

Someone mentioned bootloop with trickster, you must have changed trickster settings and set on boot, looks like LG has default settings locked in anything you change basically crashes the phone or bootloops if you set on boot, I wouldn't mess with trickster until we get a custom 4.4.2 kernel (Soon)
[T-Mobile LG G2] bfranklin1986:
I wiped everything using twrp and then tried cwr. Still had his issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jimmydee62:
Ya I have the same problem as theghazi when my phone goes to sleep and I turn back on get a white/grey color screen with vertical black lines in it. Then I reboot and phone works fine but can't let it go to sleep or same issue. I followed every step listed and did it twice same issue. Any one have any ideas on how to fix this. It shows rooted and have supersu, and also have recovery.
[T-Mobile LG G2] dr87:
Did both of you reflash the KDZ or were you already on AOSP? If you skipped to step 5, did you take the 801G OTA when it came out?
[T-Mobile LG G2] bhaismachine:
Went from Mahdi ROM to this. Absolutely no issues. You did a great job!
[T-Mobile LG G2] bfranklin1986:
I came from pacman, never took any ota updates
[T-Mobile LG G2] theghazi:
I never did any ota nor I did flash the original 4.4.2

I had always use aosp and this time trying this stock modded

Did the full wipe as suggest as well. Using twrp

Went in advance wipe and selected data , system , dalvic, cache. The only thing didn't select was internal. Flash the ROM. Still white lines.
[T-Mobile LG G2] xbxjunkie:
i went from this to PACMAN.

for some reason some of the icons in my app drawer were little droid robots, example, my messaging wasn't a quotation icon, it was a droid

robot. there were a few others i can't remember but it was a little annoying at times.
[T-Mobile LG G2] dr87:
did you wipe? it sounds like you have leftover data from old apps

still not sure what the graphical issues with the lines are considering this seems to have worked for almost everyone... interesting
[T-Mobile LG G2] vipercoyote:
Updated to kit kat! shows 4.4.2 even though i dont see any difference besides google now
[T-Mobile LG G2] dispozable:
Perfect

Was sitting on stock 4.2.2 with the 80110g version. Never upgraded to the 4.4.2 before this. I also had CWM instead of TWRP. Flashed the ROM posted, and SU and it booted and runs perfectly. Wifi calling is good. No issues or battery drain yet. Knock on is way more responsive. Overall I'm happy with the update. Now for Xposed 2.5.....

Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2] int3rsc0p3:
Does anyone else have issues with charging speed on the stock charger?
[T-Mobile LG G2] Ducter:
As said, sounds like left over data, or perhaps you use nova or another 3rd party and restored it, that will also do that as aosp based use different apps for messaging, internet etc. When restored launcher doesn't see the app installed so throws a "blank icon" in its place.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jimmydee62:
I tried a second time from the beginning and did every step from 1 to end once finished had exactly the same issue white/grey screen with black lines again. So I just re-flashed back to G and works fine. Don't know what to do so until some one fixes this will stay on stock rom.:mad:
[T-Mobile LG G2] elsecreto09:
I follow all steps How do you get the cab file or where do I find it? I only see the link for kdz file.
[T-Mobile LG G2] xbxjunkie:
hmmm......never thought of that. i'm gonna b/u my PACMAN setup and flash it again.

will report back. thanks guys

---------- Post added at 04:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ----------

i'll try it again. thanks for the tip.

will report
[T-Mobile LG G2] bigox:
Flashed starting from step 5 and it works flawless. Thanks to all the devs involved. No issues to report.
[T-Mobile LG G2] dr87:
not the place to report issues with stock LG rom, there is another thread for that - this is LG's rom as is

what?
[T-Mobile LG G2] int3rsc0p3:
Could be an issue with the kernel.
[T-Mobile LG G2] dr87:
kernel is stock
[T-Mobile LG G2] fossiltkm:
I don't understand why people are getting graphic glitches. I came from carbon nightly and began from step 5. Wiped everything but internal storage and everything went flawlessly.
[T-Mobile LG G2] xbxjunkie:
well, as usual, you guys are on point. stupid me, i guess i missed a step. everything works as it should :good:
[T-Mobile LG G2] suppliesidejesus:
Possibly a silly question, but are you using the 10c kdz to get the right bootloader, or are you coming from the 10g bootloader? The OP is pretty explicit in specifying the 10c kdz and I believe goes as far as to say the 10g update won't work.
[T-Mobile LG G2] bfranklin1986:
I'd love to understand this also. Can someone post an md5 so I can make sure this isn't just a bad download?
[T-Mobile LG G2] vipercoyote:
User errors lol

Anybody using Nova launcher which this?
[T-Mobile LG G2] bfranklin1986:
Pretty sure there's something different here. Done this for 5 years on 7 devices. I know how to wipe and flash.
[T-Mobile LG G2] DurbanPoison24:
Hope this isn't a silly question but how would I flash to PA for example? I'm sure it would be just as you flash anything else but the thing that confuses me is the whole EFS thing.. Do I have flash zip inside EFS folder from SD card after flashing PA ROM?? Anyone who wouldn't mind helping me out would be greatly appreciated!
[T-Mobile LG G2] vipercoyote:
Anybody using nova
[T-Mobile LG G2] KentuckyHouse:
I'm using Nova. Works flawlessly. No issues, but I also didn't reinstall a backup. Started from scratch.

Sent from my Developer Edition Moto X
[T-Mobile LG G2] Ducter:
This really isn't pertaining to this ROM, and as such shouldn't be posted here. But to answer your question, once you have your backup store it away in case you need it at some point in time. Download pa to your internal, reboot to recovery, wipe all but internal then install your ROM. I haven't run pa so don't know if it includes gapps, if not, download them and install after you install the ROM. Make sure to download the gapps for the version of android the ROM is.
[T-Mobile LG G2] mila4me:
Trying back to stock now :)
[T-Mobile LG G2] razrlover:
2 pages back read my post. Question answered
[T-Mobile LG G2] jimmydee62:
Yes I flashed the 10C KDZ just like the tutorial said. Something I have noticed is a lot of people are using a different rom then stock and going straight to step 5 which is not what I'm doing maybe that will work.
[T-Mobile LG G2] TheFuzz:
Internal Storage Wiped?

Does this process wipe internal storage? I hate to ask, but I read the whole thread and did not see an answer. I am on the stock 4.4.2, no root (UGH!! Big Mistake)
[T-Mobile LG G2] xtvchi3f:
No it doesn't. I flashed this right over the buckeye rom. I didn't wipe anything except cache/dalvik. The rom has been running great for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2] theghazi:
So I assume that there is no fix for that white screen with black lines. :(
[T-Mobile LG G2] mdowns989:
If I just want to return to stock can I restore stock backup and take the OTA new partitions and all without bricking?
[T-Mobile LG G2] gypsy214:
When you return to 4.2.2 with the flash tool it will wipe all your data. So it be safe to make a back up
[T-Mobile LG G2] TheFuzz:
Followed all directions exactly, but, ended up with the dreaded white color grid every time I turn phone on from sleep. Tried changing home screen settings, lock screen settings, nothing.
[T-Mobile LG G2] KentuckyHouse:
I'm trying to sandbox why the white screen thing is happening. I ran through this tutorial yesterday with no hitches at all and the phone is running great.

Those of you that have this issue, are you using the stock lockscreen? If so, do you have "show weather" turned on in lockscreen settings? I'm no developer, but I'm trying to think of animations that run on the lockscreen when you wake the phone. This probably isn't it, but can someone that's got this issue and has weather turned on turn it off and see if it changes anything?
[T-Mobile LG G2] TheFuzz:
So, since I could not get rid of the white lines, I flashed another ROM. I really want to just come back to this stock ROM. I realized very quickly how much I like the functionality of this ROM.

Can I flash over the custom ROM using the standard manner, recovery---> Wipe/factory reset----> flash ROM?

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2] theghazi:
Yes you may.

You are not the only one with this issue. I also have the problem and i tried just about any which way. No luck.

I went back to nameless till dev figure out the problems. Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2] bfranklin1986:
I had it from boot, didn't touch any settings, didn't even start with the setup tutorial. Boot, push power button to lock screen, push again to unlock and nothing but white lines. You can hear the screen being responsive and taking a screen shot shows the stock lock screen.
[T-Mobile LG G2] sgiles1:
I had the white screen issue as well, but I just now realized it could be because I was on 4.2.2G and not the C version. Could that be the problem we are all having?
[T-Mobile LG G2] bfranklin1986:
I Flashed from g also.
[T-Mobile LG G2] sgiles1:
Could others with the white screen problem confirm they were on G (which I assume stands for GSM). If this is the cause, is it OK to flash the C (CDMA?) version on a T-Mobile phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2] dr87:
T-mobile is only GSM, the C and G are just software versions

Anyone with a white screen I would suggest starting from step 1 instead of 5, its kind of hard for me to figure out the cause of this since it doesn't happen to everyone.
[T-Mobile LG G2] v2.2v:
The C and G are just ways to label the software version. The d80110c and d80110g are both for the d801...T-Mobile LG G2. But yea it seems to be an issue coming from 10g
[T-Mobile LG G2] rawdaddymagraden:
And this is why the user a page back said that it was due to user error even though he got a smug I been doing this for years answer....... The op explicitly states use C version Do Not Use G version. Follow OP and viola problem avoided. It is a very common and very essential mist to fully read an OP before flashing anything to your phone. This will avoid a lot of unnecessary issues in threads here on xda. Also will avoid bricking your expensive phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2] bfranklin1986:
The op also states if you didn't take the ota to skip to step 5......
[T-Mobile LG G2] suppliesidejesus:
It also explicitly states that the D80110g update will not work, so if you are coming from the 10g update or flashed a ROM that contains parts of the 10g update, you are probably gonna have a bad time.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jimmydee62:
Just to clear up this issue I did flash with 10C not 10G and followed every step in the guide but still have the white screen. Also I tried I installed a custom rom which works fine and then did from step 5 still have white screen.
[T-Mobile LG G2] freakyd9984:

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2] kcteun:
I went from Buckeye v3, which is based on 10g, and had no problems...until I got in my car. Everytime I got a SMS or MMS my bluetooth service would crash. Tried a few work arounds, but ended up (easily) flashing back to a recovery image. Hopefully someone smarter than me will figure this one out.
[T-Mobile LG G2] dr87:
I didn't know about 2.7 at the time, if it was even available, it should work. Haven't tested it myself.
[T-Mobile LG G2] xtvchi3f:
I also came from buckeye. I have not had a single problem with this rom. I didn't even wipe anything before flashing. Only things that were wiped were cache/dalvik when I was done flashing. No white lines, no Bluetooth problems. I use Bluetooth in my car everyday.
[T-Mobile LG G2] ledvedder:
Is anyone else experiencing high "Android System" battery usage with this?
[T-Mobile LG G2] Z-Man™:
I always have on stock rom
[T-Mobile LG G2] bigox:
Anyone else get a RR? Been running great but today got a RR not sure what caused it. I was using XDA app when it happened. Did clean install from step 5, can someone post MD5 to see if mine is the same maybe I have a bad download. Thanks in advance. :thumbup::D
[T-Mobile LG G2] KentuckyHouse:
Sucky thing for me is on stock 4.4.2, I wasn't experiencing the Bluetooth bug others have complained about. Rolled back to 4.2.2, rooted, installed TWRP and flashed this ROM and on the very first charge I got hammered by the Bluetooth bug.

Say it's just the software misreporting or whatever, but misreporting doesn't take your battery from 100% to 49% in 1hr 15min of SOT.
[T-Mobile LG G2] wodurrah:
I feel like someone will find a way to instal custom rom without going back to 4.2.2 rom. Crazy thing is I told myself dont flash the update because this very thing would happen...I was also sad to lose xposed...free pandora one...hopefully someone will get xposed working too.
[T-Mobile LG G2] dr87:
Very unlikely, LG locked the new bootloader nicely and made it loki proof, and since we can go back to 4.2.2 I don't think anyone is currently working on unlocking the new boot
[T-Mobile LG G2] KentuckyHouse:
Yeah, but you CAN'T go back to 4.2.2 now (at least on the D801). I want to go to bone stock 4.4.2, but I can't because when I try and flash the stock 4.4.2 kdz, it says I'm already up to date.

I'm about to sell this G2 now that LG has crippled it. Way to screw up a great thing, LG.

[T-Mobile LG G2] Nitefire77:
You use the LG PC suite and flash the kdz file for Bone stock 4.2.2 you can go back. Several people on this thread have e done so to flash the 4.4.2 update
[T-Mobile LG G2] xbxjunkie:
anyone get the "incallui" message with this?
[T-Mobile LG G2] KentuckyHouse:
Already tried it. They've started "verifying" restores, ala Apple.

You can't flash anything older than 4.4.2 and you can't even flash the stock kdz for 4.4.2 if you're already on it.

[T-Mobile LG G2] Nitefire77:
Is the LG pc suite a little different then the lg flash tools I often see suggested? Going by the file names I would guess one is consumer and one is for R&D and was leaked? (Ala ODIN for Samsung phones)
[T-Mobile LG G2] suppliesidejesus:
I can guarantee that it works. I flashed the 4.2.2 kdz over the KitKat update effortlessly.
[T-Mobile LG G2] KentuckyHouse:
Today? Seriously guys, I'm not trying to be difficult. LG has apparently closed the ability to not only downgrade but restore to stock.

Sent from my Developer Edition Moto X
[T-Mobile LG G2] dr87:
Where is the proof of this? How would LG close the ability to downgrade without another OTA update? We have the tools already and we have the kdz's available for us. The only way I can see this possible is if they dropped another OTA we updated to
[T-Mobile LG G2] KentuckyHouse:
Try it. Try flashing the kdz for 4.4.2 or even 4.2.2 and see if it works.

I promise you guys it doesn't work anymore. While I'm no developer I'm also not a n00b when it comes to flashing.

I'm also not trying to be a pain in the butt. I've seen other people saying the same thing today. I'm not the only one unable to use the kdz and LG Flash Tool to flash to a stock firmware.

Sent from my Developer Edition Moto X
[T-Mobile LG G2] dr87:
Did you do the correct method of restoring? I noticed you said it was verifying the restore, something it always did if you attempted to use only the LG tool

Did you use R&D test tool and do the 3gqct diag flash like instructed? not tried to just restore with flash tool? Because that would not work on a newer ota, it never did.
[T-Mobile LG G2] KentuckyHouse:
I used the R&D test tool and the exact method you mentioned. Everything is set up correctly (I just used it to flash back to 4.2.2 on Saturday so I could upgrade to a rooted 4.4.2). But now it doesn't work. It never pops up the "country/language" window. It just tells me I'm on the newest firmware (which I am, but I'm currently using OmniROM, not stock unrooted 4.4.2).

This exactly. To disable downgrade lg would have to push something to the phone.

Something suspicious is going on for sure. I'm getting a popup thanking me for using LG tool instead of bringing up the language window. I am going to guess LG updated the mobile tool (since it checks for updates) and that's the cause of this... maybe we can download an old version and disconnect net. Not sure yet need to look into this for sure.
[T-Mobile LG G2] gunnyman:
Ok YOU AREN"T crazy.

LG pushed a new version of the SW tool and loads it.

It doesn't let you bypass the connect to phone and see you've already loaded a KDZ.

Damn.

I tried disabling internet and ran it again and it refuses to run without internet connection. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

there was a leaked build that was posted the other day but they took it down to respect the original dev as he will put out a working update when ready.

1. Im using the serve card account (with my free 25$) - i know the terminal accepts it because i've used it before (before i went through with rooting my kitkat update)

2/3. Isis is open with my serve card being displayed when i hold it up. I get a response on my device asking for confirmation like normal but the actually terminal displays an Error and says to try again. I don't get credit and im not able to get my snacks :(
