[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
First: This guide is for the D802. Not for the LS980. So you definitely will need something different from that: openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-g2d802

Second: Those files can be found in a TOT/KDZ which can be flashed with the LG flashtool. The ZVE.tot is here and the tool you need to extract the stuff can be found here.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_007:
Skip the twrp anyway. Open the main link. It's in d802 dir. Drop down to main g2 folder and find the matching variant. If it's missing(the partitions) then download kdz, tot and extract them.

Problems after wiping

Hello,

I've just bought lg g2 d802 from aliexpress. It came with stock lg ROM, i wanted to install some near-to-stock-android ROM. I loaded to recovery (PhliZ Touch 6.25.4.) but as i was moving around I pressed "clean to instal new ROM" and it wiped the original one. Now when I start the phone it just runs into bootloader and then stops there.

I guess that I just need to get the ZIP file of some ROM to the device and then flash it but I can't figure out how. I tried using sideload feature but adb command line can't find the device. (i've installed the lg drivers)

What can I do? What would do? I'll be thankful for any advice. Thank you! :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronarbib:
I am starting to get it (i think)

First - I have the LG-D800 variant, made in korea.

Second - If i understood well from your second link there are 3 main bricks that make my phone as it is: 1-the bootloader which is like the "doorman" of my deivce, 2- the kernel which is actually the main part of the OS, 3- the data which is what my OS use to express herself in a crappy AT&T way.

Now if i whant to clean it up i need to change my kernel and data so they will know how to work toghter and make my life nice and lovelly.

plz tell me i got it right (you can lie ;) )
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
D800, that might become important to you in the feature.

1) True, somehow the lowest layer.

2) Halfway true. The Kernel is a very important thing, but you as user usually don't have to do anything with it. It does the stuff it has to do in the background. It's somehow a layer between the Bootloader and your actual system.

3) Again halfway true. ALL your data (Apps, their data, contacts, etc. are stored in data). But the AT&T crap is usually in /system. And apps installed in the system-partition can't be uninstalled. Unless you have root access. This lets you modify the system partition too.

No, if you want to clean up you don't need to change the kernel. You only have to get root access -> use IOroot for example (link in the second post of this thread) -> to be able to modify your system partition. In case you want to delete apps /system/apps/ is the right directory. ;D The kernel doesn't care about the system. At least not about the system-apps.

Hi to all

I have a noob question.

Does wiping system remove my installed recovery?

What does system wipe clear?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_007:
No. Recovery has it's own partition. System wipe wipes /system. You also have got "internal" etc..internalvis where your files are, downloads, nude pics, mp3. Don't touch unless backed up. Your backup of twrp also goes on internal(or usb otg).

Two new questions[emoji5]

1) which recovery is better to flash lollipop 30a ? 2.8.6.0 or 2.8.6.1?

2) exactly which wipes needed before flash?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
First off I might let you know its worth double checking your model variant if this is your first ROM. Aliexpress and other sellers are sometimes known to ship phones with different, but compatible parts. You might want to make sure your device is indeed a D802 before flashing a D802 ROM.

Refer to this thread for more information.

Warning to people who bought phones off eBay/Aliexpress. - credits [MENTION=5644061]Art Vanderlay[/MENTION].

What OS are you running at the moment?

I know a common solution in Windows is to go to Device Manager and choose the "Let me pick from a list of device drivers" option, then searching for and selecting "Android ADB Device".

Also, try reinstalling the Universal LG drivers. Even if it will just overwrite them.

I recommend you download and install the Universal ADB (Android Debug Bridge) Driver.

I assume you're using Windows :p

Your system (/system) is basically your operating system, or to put it another way.. your current rom.

Does wiping system remove my installed recovery?

No, your recovery is located on a separate partition to your system. You will still have access to your bootloader and recovery.

What does system wipe clear?

Wiping your System partition cleans out your currently installed ROM. Rebooting normally after wiping /System will leave your kernel trying to load a user space or, operating "system", that doesn't exist.

Either version should be fine. TWRP 2.8.6.1 will give you the possibility to back up your Sensors partition. TWRP 2.8.6.0 wont. Lollipop 30a is still running on the KK bootloader and with a BUMPed recovery, so the Recovery isn't really affected by the 30a firmware.

In most cases before installing a ROM you will wipe Dalvik Cache, System, Data and Cache.

[IMG="Kappa"]http://i.imgur.com/g6cYnyw.png[/IMG]
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
No, your recovery won't be removed. Wiping the system only wipes the system-partition. Factory reset means wiping data, internal sd, cache, dalvik-cache.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omfal:
Point taken. As you and [MENTION=4650987]z3pp3lin[/MENTION] said, installing xposed and worrying about integrity is of little use. I prefer to change recovery, flash xposed, keep the flashed recovery, and being able to install XPrivacy, rather than having everything original and then not having control over the privileges of the single apps.

At this point, I'm fine with installing an alternative recovery and keeping it. I read somewhere that CWM is not ok for LG G2 with Lollopop, so I have TWRP and PhilZ as options.

I tried to install TWRP before reading your suggested steps, so I did: with Flashify I downloaded the most updated, but standard, TWRP, then I flashed it, then I rebooted. I get some lines of text on the top about "integrity" o "verification" or similar error, then a second page with "critical error" and the option to connect to USB (volume up) or to reboot (volume down). I also tried flashing it using the command line (dd if=... of=...) provided on TWRP website (I have a terminal emulator installed and I know how to use it).

Luckily, rebooting after that error brings me back to Android without further issues. Flashify tells me I'm still on stock recovery and I verified: volume down+power at startup and I don't get TWRP, I get the screen "do you want to reset to factory default", that is (I think) the original recovery.

So I searched the forums and I found there is a protection, loki may be needed (I didn't look further into it), but a BUMPed recovery would also do directly.

I downloaded the BUMPed TWRP 2.8.6.1 and tried again the flashing. And I got the same error. Again, the reboot brings me to Andorid without issues.

Now two questions:

1) what is the procedure to actually get TWRP installed?? I don't specifically need TWRP of course, PhilZ is also fine with me, as long as it can flash ZIP files to get xposed and, in the future, the modified camera drivers... and as long as it won't modify my kernel (unlike, as you explained to me, Autorec on KK that needed the modification to the kernel due to the JB bootloader).

2) you mentioned "Downgrade Bootloader to KK" -> isn't this bringing back the same issue as in KK, where the mismatch between Android version (KK) and the bootloader (JB) made the patched kernel mandatory?

Sorry for the many questions, I'm still learning... I tried to check some threads but with this recent Lollipop, it's not always clear which ones are updated, which ones are superseded, and so on.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
I like those extensive posts, so nevermind. ;)

1) As you are maybe already realizing it's not possible to have a custom recovery while running the LP bootloader. I'd suggest you to read the second link in my signature. The main stuff about bootloaders and installing ROMs over them is explained there.

2) Yeah, you got me. Neither loki nor bump is working with the LP bootloader. So to get the recovery working you have to downgrade to another bootloader. This is also why I wrote that after downgrading the Bootloader the system won't boot anymore. It was the same way before. When KK came out people first thought a recovery is only possible with the JB (and "lokifyable") bootloader. Then came bump and it became possible with the KK bootloader too. And now we are at the same stage with the LP bootloader again. Hopefully there is either a way to unlock the (any) bootloader soon (as LG "promised") or at least another exploit that can be used for installing custom stuff using the LP bootloader.

Oh and btw: You aren't one of those classic noobs. You show some interest in this stuff. And that's why I really appreciate helping you. ;)

And finally: In this post, linked in my signature is also described how bump works. So the error you are getting flashing any TWRP is nothing but logical. Oh and sorry for advertising my own posts!

Hi guys, I've just purchased a d800 at&t variant for use in Australia (we have d802 here as standard). Is the hardware the same between these variants?

I want to get all the Australian frequency bands by flashing a d802 rom onto this d800.

Any good answer would be very helpful and appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
If I remember correctly the Lollipop update brings an updated Camera2 API to support raw image files, which means improved quality.. but LG aren't supporting this API on the G2, as of yet. See LGG2 - Petition to support Camera2 API.

DO NOT FLASH A D802 ROM ONTO YOUR D800. YOU WILL NOT MAGICALLY GET THE FREQUENCY BANDS.

The hardware is basically the same, besides the frequency bands hardcoded into the chipset.

D800 supports GSM 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS/WCDMA 850/1900/2100 and LTE 1900/1700/850/700.

D802 supports GSM 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS/WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100 and LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600.

The biggest difference is in the 4G compatibility.

For a list of all supported LTE Networks in the Oceanic region, click here.

For a list of all supported UMTS Networks in the Oceanic region, click here.

For a list of all supported GSM Networks in the Oceanic region, click here.

But seriously.. only ever use D800 ROMs on a D800 device.

I think I understand better now, but I also see that flashing bootloaders is the only thing that could brick the phone :)

About them, just to be sure:

in step 6 (flash stock recovery) how would I be able to do it with flashify, if the system still can't boot? a mistake on your guide or I didn't follow the steps?

Before the flashing I did a couple of days ago, I backed up the stock recovery using flashify. The app however does not allow me to backup the (LP) bootloader. Should I get it from the KDZ using this app? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2600575

Anyway, I don't like running without XPrivacy, but I also understand this time is very early for this kind of stuff, not much has come out yet. I will wait some weeks and then, if nothing come out, I will give your technique a shot. After all, as long as the bootloader I flash is working, I should not lose my phone :)

Edit: some posts ago [MENTION=4650987]z3pp3lin[/MENTION] wrote he is using G3 tweaksbox fine. So he has TWRP on Lollipop. Which steps did he follow? or did he update to Lollipop manually, without using the back to stock, therefore leaving the KK BUMPed recovery and bootloader and kernel?

Edit2: wait, a BUMPed bootloader and recovery maybe don't need also the BUMPed kernel.

Ok, after installing the universal ADB drivers the ad started to communicate with the device! Horay!! :)

I opened back of the phone (photo is attached) I guess that the black strike over D801 means I've D801.

I tried sideload ROM severak times but it always failed during the process. So I pushed the file and then choose to install it in rocovery, firtsly the recovery said that the footer is wrong and the sigature verification failed. After i proceeded the Cloudyfa's ROM installer started . I checked the System info and it also said D801. This shows model of the device or model of the device for which is the ROM made? (It also said that SDcard size is -1MB)

I'll probably download the D801 version of the ROM. Or what would you do? :)

Thank you everyone!!!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
Downloading, updating and installing many applications at once will cause your phone/CPU to generate a lot of heat.

It was also your first boot of Lollipop which means there's a lot of initial configuration and caching going on in the background.

Does this problem continually happen or did it just happen once and you thought you'd let us know?

How hot does your phone get when you leave it idle?

Keep in mind Lollipop is still a baby.. personally I would wait until 5.1 before updating.

No Superuser or SuperSU after rooting

Hi guys,

Sorry in advance cos I'm not native English speaker.

I've just rooted my phone and when I'm supposed to find SuperSU or SuperUser in my app drawer, I don't :confused:

I've rooted using ioroot, following instructions on 2 different pages (because they say slightly different things, and I wanted to be sure not to miss anything in the process).

But I got the successful message at the end, and when I check with rootchecker, it says my phone is rooted. Titanium backup seems to work properly, but LBE Privacy Guard crashes, can't open (i used to use it on my old HTC Desire HD, worked great).

Do I have to install SuperSU from the market? It seems obvious but really I'm worried of making a mistake.

Thank you in advance for your advice!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
Same thing happened to me. No prompts but a success message.

Download SuperSU from the PlayStore.

Open it and install the binaries.

Reboot.

To test if you have root, download Terminal Emulator and type "su" then press ENTER. If SuperSU asks you for permission, you have root. If you get a permission denied, you don't have root.

Not to much to worry about.

Hello!

Well, sorry to disturb here but I recently bought a LG G2 D802 (coming from a Galaxy Nexus) and I'm kinda lost over here so I need some advice regarding ROM and Kernel and also some mods here and there.

First of all, I've heard that there are some camera mods that I can apply to my G2 and make it record in 4K and slow motion. I know that google's my friend and I can find all kinds of info but I don't want to miss anything so I have two questions regarding that camera mod.

1) Is it supported here on XDA?

2) Which ROM supports it? I'm currently on stock 5.0.2 but this rom is ugly! I like stock android or cyanogen, can I use the same mod and have the same camera quality with CM11 / CM12.1 and custom Kernel or is it exclusive to Stock rom? If so, which version of stock rom should I flash on my G2? I would like to have root and a stable system so maybe 5.0.2 isn't for me or is it stable enough?

Regarding the root and recovery...

I came from a easy root and easy to mess with phone, it was easy to do everything I only needed to put my phone in fastboot, then flash recovery (TWRP) and in the recovery wipe everything and instal Rom, Gapps, Kernel. Is it the same here or the process is more complicated than that? Is it the same for stock roms (from LG) and custom roms (CM, Paranoid and AOSP based roms)?

Well, sorry if I'm asking things that google can answer me easily but I need to get this phone ready to use fast so I'm doing both.

Cheers!

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
Well I'm sure you've already found the answers on Google but I'll reply anyway..

The thread you're most likely looking for is here.

All your questions are answered in the first 3 posts :). But to save you some time.. it's only for Stock Based ROMs, not CM/AOSP based ROMs and currently does not support 5.x (Lollipop).

It sounds like a problem with LBE Privacy Guard, not your root privileges. Maybe look for a compatible alternative.

Your ROM modifies your /system partition. System Applications such as QSlide that come bundled with your ROM are found in /system/app/. However, Qslide is a part of your LGSystemUI.apk file. It can't be removed but it can be hidden by 2 ways..

1. Put the QSlide toggle in your Toggle menu and simply, uncheck it. Now Qslide will not show.

2. Decompile LGSystemUI.apk and edit layout\floating_launcher.xml to have 0.0 dpi height.

I recommend option number 1.

Clash of Clans is known to not be fully optimized on the LGG2, especially running Lollipop!

You can try limiting your CPU frequency. Refer to this thread, specifically post #7.

You can return to stock KK by following the Returning to Stock guide.

I have no idea about your devices environment. Are you rooted? Are you running Stock? Recovery isn't always able to be flashed by itself.

But to answer your question, to replace your recovery do the following.

Enter your IMEI and download your KDZ file from LG Firmware ROM.

Extract your KDZ file using the KDZ/TOT Extractor.

Extract the recovery.img file from your extracted .KDZ file.

Put recovery.img onto your /sdcard.

Open terminal as root or start an adb session and type the following,

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
