[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shackshack:
Thank you for taking the time.

I updated my Verizon LG G2 to Kit Kat when the update came out.The end of April is when I rooted my device to add the 120 fps camera. I flashed the custom rom that I believe was for KitKat and everything worked fine. Recently I would notice the device reboot on it's own. Last weekend while I was doing some app store updates from the Play Store, the phone rebooted and got stuck in boot loop. From there I was told to follow the instructions in the second post on the first page of this thread because factory reset and download mode were not working. I managed to push everything through using ubuntu and the final step says to reboot your device and restore. When I tried to reboot, I only got a black a screen and nothing else.

I have tried holding up and then plugging it in. Hold Down + Power. Holding Power. Holding all 3. The only thing that happens is the back light comes on which leaves me with a nicely lit screen of blackness. Today I will try this guide out. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

EDIT: This guide does not work. It says device is not connected when I try to use it. I tried running it in Ubuntu, but I cannot run exe files in ubuntu. I tried installing wine (i think it lets you run exe files), but it wont let me install it :/

I have a vs980 running lam hoang g3 1.3 and have an issue with smart notice.

Whenever i get a smart card, a small sliver of it pops up below the main smart notice widget.

I'm pretty sure it's not a g3 port issue as i didn't have the issue with cloudy or optimus g3.

Anyone know how to fix this?

It is not a rom issue, you are using a modded nav bar and this cause that little glitch to occur with smart notice and the more you decrease the nav bar the more that smart notice notification will overlap, in order to fix it you need to have stock nav bar

Yea what you did was soft brick your device, anyways it is not renaming the dalvik lib to art that makes change there is a dedicated lib for art which in order to have on stock rom would take major modifying and editting on both art lib and system framework+you would have to make lg apps art compatible, if want to try art then switch to a rom with art being an option(g pro 2 ported/g3 ported/aosp) or do something dumb like grabbing art lib and using terminal to force switch from dalvik to art(don't try it won't work)

Thanks for the tip. I used you're modded navbar at 42 dpi i believe and that did the trick.

Still have a question though. I never messed with the navbar on this rom (or any for that matter). Does it do that on all variants?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
yea should have mentioned that some devs like to apply a few touches of their own on there roms, in the beginning cloudyg3 used stock dip which is 42 for nav bar but in 1.1 he changed it to 39 because it was his preference, so it is up to the dev how he makes stuff and also I don't have a lam hoang version in my navbar mod so there could be some stuff which may or may not work since modded edits the framework-res of rom if you want a lam hoang specific version just to be safe please get me the stock system/framework folder(only framework folder) of the rom(you can grab it from rom.zip since you already modified famework-res.apk so that I can add it to navbar mod

-Hold volume down+power button

-When you see lg logo let go and hold volume down+power button until you see factory reset screen

-press power button 2-3 times

Method two

-power off phone

-Hold volume down+power button

-When you see lg logo let go and hold volume down+volume up until you see factory reset screen

-press power button 2-3 times

If you get back in twrp then setup adb and try pushing a rom(check out second post of this thread for info on adb)

TWRP Factory reset

Hi all, I am preparing to give my G2 to a family friend however I currently have it rooted with TWRP custom recovery installed. As I want to give it to them as if it were new, I need to restore the phone to its original state i.e. 4.2.2 stock jellybean, without root or TWRP installed. I currently am on stock 4.2.2 and have not flashed any roms. How would I unroot and remove TWRP? Thank you in advance for your help
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
The only way to return to stock and remove root/twrp is to follow this guide. As for your jellybean ROM, you might have to download it from the lg servers. There's a great tutorial here on how to get your ROM. If your not too fussed on going back to jellybean then you can find KitKat kdzs in the back to stock guide.

How much storage does one get with minimal ROM?

Hai guys,

Just bought an LG G2. Haven't unpacked it yet because I'm concerned that the 16GB storage (well, 10 gigs after taking into account the system ROM) is not enough for me.

How much can you 'free up' by installing a minimalistic ROM like CyanogenMod? I'd be interested to hear how much usable storage people get on any certain ROM (16GB phone).

No recovery

I've searched for an hour for this problem and I know I shoud find this in the forum but I must be searching the wrong thing.

Here's my problem: My phone had to be turned in for service so backed up my rom and data and did a complete factory reset so they wouldn't notice it had been rooted. Now I have my phone back stock unrooted d802 4.4.2, but my stock recovery is'nt there. So my question is:

1) Can I get my stock recovery back so when I flashed custom recovery I can enter it with hardware buttons?

2) If this is not possible, is safe to root without stock recovery using ioroot25 method?

I'll keep searching the forum but would appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction.

hello,

I've yet to flash a custom rom on my G2 which is pretty odd for me having been a flashaholic in the past with previous devices.

I am now wanting to flash and have used TowelRoot and AutoRec to prepare. When in TWRP and attempting to backup, I am unable due to space limitations. It needs 8GB to back up and I only have 5 free.

Do I need to back up my photos or would those remain in the same spot?

I am thinking I will just delete Gallery3D cache and Play Music cache to free up the space.

No reception or network IDs

Just switched over to CloudyG3 from CM11 on a LS980 variant.

I backed up, wiped, then flashed the ROM and the KK baseband for the LS980.

Upon startup, I had no cell reception! Hmm. I checked my network details only to find this: http://imgur.com/a/oex19

Since then, I've tried all combinations of wiping and flashing with no success. Auto-rotate doesn't seem to work, which might indicate a problem with the baseband?

And on top of all that, trying to restore my backup just throws me into a bootloop, sooo yeah. Any ideas?

Thanks a ton, guys!

when you flashed rom you make sure to flash baseband(zvc radio) after rom correct? also to restore your cm backup you would need to flash the zv7/8 radio(which is same thing as baseband)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
I am not sure what you mean I see many threads that say to use twrp while others say use philz; usually when a dev says to use specific recovery it is because he only tested with that recovery and he does not want users to have problems if they use another recovery and then he would need to change his setup because of this
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
what do you mean stock recovery isn't there, if it's gone then you would have fastboot access and if it is there then you are able to factory reset

if you have no recovery and boot error that means you have fastboot and it is possible to flash the stock recovery

if you can boot into factory reset screen and can factory reset that means you do have stock recovery and can root using ioroot

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
reply the storage on a device is reserved by manufacturer for specific sizes and reason before hand and there is a limit to each model

the 16gb system partition has a 2.5gb(I am sure it was a little smaller but don't remember) this partition is only available for the rom nothing more and nothing less; a dev can decide how to use the storage for his rom and to a way to help users, I have att d800 32gb variant my system reserve is about 3.2gb out of that att includes the stock rom and most of the bloat into this partition so that the end user has as much of his internal storage as possible

since only one thing goes into the system partition and that is the rom it does not matter how minimalistic or bloated it is it will never affect the internal storage; the other measure taken here is that there is a data reserve partition which is usually 2gb which is where all apps actual app get installed while the app installs data into internal storage

there exist methods to tamper with these and try and increase internal storage and doing so will most likely result in corrupted partitions or even worse a corrupted flash memory which is basically the phone internal storage being left unusable and the phone becomes paper weight

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kanehigourashi:
Idk what happened, but i'm afraid

Ok, here we go. I'm a noob to the android field (mostly deal in apple products) and i fear I've screwed up. I bought a used at&t lg g2 (lg-d800) and i've been tinkering around with it. Up until now, it all went fine without a snag (though it took a while for me to find a suitable adb script for my macbook). I rooted it, had some fun with that, and finally decided to flash a custom rom on to it. Figured it would add a little more customization. After getting TWRP working without incident, I went ahead and downloaded the newest Nameless rom nightly. Flashed it no prob, until it rebooted. It was still plugged into my mac when it started, incase it asked me to push something else. Here's what came up on the screen after the Lg symbol disappeared:

[680] Fastboot mode started

[730] udc_start()

[890] - reset-

[900] -portcharge-

[970] fastboot: processing commands

all of this was on a black background, looking like every terminal program i've seen. I let it sit like that for a min, then realized that it wasn't showing me the command process. Most of the time, it would do so. I didn't think this was normal, so I googled it. Nothing.

I'm hoping someone could tell me how long it normally takes the process to finish or if I just bricked my 400 dollar investment. I've tried ./adb to reboot into recovery and just flash a regular rom into it, but it won't register the phone. I'll edit if anything changes.
