Hey all,

I've been reading around but can't seem to get what i want. Since being a complete n00b at this, figured i would just ask before making any wrong moves.

Currently my LG G2 is rooted on Stock ROM since i got it (just root and done nothing else).

Android Version: 4.2.2

Software Version: D80210b-SEA

Now i wanna update the Stock ROM to KitKat but am at a lost on how to do this.

Do i:

1) Flash back to Stock JB 4.2.2 (will this be unroot?) and then update to Stock KK 4.4.2 and root it?

2) Straight update to KitKat?

If someone can point me the direction to take it would be helpful.

Gotta backup my stuff now before doing anything. Thanks in advance.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
In the second post of this thread is a link, how to get back to stock. That's the best way. Otherwise the risk that you get a (soft)brick ist pretty high. The Update to KK will show up automatically when you are back on Stock. Maybe by this Method you get directly to stock. Depends on the .kdz file you flash. AFAIK there are no .tot files for our D802 version. So you have to use the kdz Guide.

Here is the Guide I told you about: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 Same as in the second post.

If you go to this DL Page (somewhere in the Guide) http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/ Choose the right *.kdz File. Those with a D80210 are the JB files. With the D80220 you should get directly to KitKat. ;)

And If you plan to root after going back to Stock, you can easily Backup your data with Titanium Backup or so.

Hello guys. Well i need help. I ve lg g2 d800 at&t version. Its rooted and running stock os. I deleted the at&t addresdbook, but meanwhile i noticed that the knock on isnt working though knock is working well. Also on top of that the mid section of the display isnt showing response it seems like dead spot. Is there any correlation between the at&t addressbook which is the cause of the trouble or its a hardware issue.......
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Weird thing. But it would be way more weird, if deleting an app would cause any hardware iisues. So I can't believe that it could be software related.

I'm pretty sure there is no connection between those two things and the screen issue is a hardwareproblem. Maybe updating display drivers via hidden menu (use google) helps. ;) try that out and if it doesn't work, go back to stock and send it back to AT&T / LG or replace the screen by yourself.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vicious.:
The korean G2 have a SD slot but besides that you can use meenova (for instance) and attach sd card to any other model if you wish. Also this restriction is bypassed by https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix&hl=en but I need to find a camera app with the option to change your storage directory. Camera360 allows to change just the photos directory but not the video directory :(
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
I know it can be bypassed... Idk if it's possible without root. But if you have got root, maybe there is a XPosed module. I once heard about one, but Idk exactly what functionality it has.

Maybe The dev ov Camera360 thought, the writing speed of the SD isn't fast enough so he decided to keep it like it is... I don't know, but could be.

What is the defautl charging rate/amps for LG G2 D802, i dont mean how much Amps the charge is, i'm talking about charging amps, what goes into battery.

Is there anyway i can check it real time? i use custom kernel, but fast charge is not good for me, i want to preserve battery life, and charge at 1A instead of 1.5/2A , which will give me longer battery lifespan/recharge cycles.

Keyboard Issues, Closing While Typing?

My T Mobile G2 has this issue where I will be typing and the keyboard disappears and whatever I'm typing in closes (be it messaging, Chrome, etc.) and my phone goes back to the home screen. I used to think I must've hit the back or home button when typing as I came from a Droid 4 with hard keys and I would press those when I didn't have the case on.

Even when I'm extremely careful and I know I'm not touching the screen except to type, it still crashes like this. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how do you fix it?

I've looked all over the internet and I've only found like three instances of people reporting it, and they got no response.

I don't want to use another keyboard, I really like the stock one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not available yet, afaik. But there are themes for CM that allow you to make it look like a OPO.

About how-to-flash: Haven't read anything about a different flash method. Check in the official thread, what BaseBand/Modem you need, flash this first, then CM and GApps.

About the Brick: flashing the wrong radio or kernel (for the wrong variant) can brick your phone. Just be careful there. ;)

If people are too dumb to catch the right radio it's their own fault. ^^

I'd rather flash the ls980 stock. Which country are you from? (and what modell is selled there usually?) Maybe you just got the wrong backcover...

Flashing the wrong ROM can hard brick your phone! So first make sure which model you really got!

New to LG G2 Forum

Hi. Hope you all are well. i just bought sprint LG G2, my first LG device. been using htc for a very long time and finally decided it was time to move on. needed advice from community here on a few things.

1- My LG G2 came installed with superuser and stock recovery which means it was rooted, right? is that normal?

2- My LG G2 android version is 4.4.2 LS980ZVC. checked some websites and xda and found that there is a ZVD update. ZVD is a new update to ZVC? is it a stable one?

3- In System settings, there is no option for system updates. found that quite unusual. how do i update rom then? since there is no memory card, the stock recovery says that update rom via external memory card. why is that?

Also i have been going to sprint LG forums. but things seem quite confusing to me. It would be great if you can share some helpfull links on roms, rooting etc for LG G2.

Best Regards
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
1) Try out. There are several apps for root checking. Or you can just type "su" and press enter in terminal emulator. If you get the request of the superuser app, root is available.

2) & 3) Never read/heard complaints about that update. But I'm not on LS980, so use google or wait until someone with that specific update answers. If there's no update function, make sure, it is really the stock ROM and not a stock-based custom ROM?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huzefaonline:

I have a question have you tried installing viper4android, I have my g2 on kk but have never experienced the audio bug and have wondered if its because I use viper

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

well they both the baseband and kernel depend on each other the baseband handles things like touch and rotation(I'm pretty sure there's more but I don't have much info on this) while the kernel handles the touches and tells the device what to do depending on what you touch also kernel handles videos drivers/special features like knock on/cpu/gpu/etc and the kernel also depends on the android version because this brings the many different changes/features/fixes to the device

to put it simple if the kernel is outdated/not correctly patched your device will be very unstable, if you don't have the correct baseband for your device certain features will not work/the device will be unstable, with an upgraded version of android we wouldn't have a lot of the coll features we have now

Hi there zombiePikachu,

do you know anything about this "audio bug" which some people seem to experience after upgrading? I'm wondering as I am also thinking of going from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 and my D802 is from HongKong and I'm thinking of updating by flashing a .kdz which is 4.4.2 but "EUROPE OPEN"

Am I likely to run into trouble with the audio?

Actually, it seems as though some people got the audio bug after doing a normal OTA update so flashing a .kdz might even be a better option...

Should I perhaps do a root using IOroot25 first while on 4.2.2 and backup my EFS folder just in case there are some parameters there that get messed up, what do you think?

It's comforting to know that not everyone is experiencing the audio problem... you seem to have avoided it so you would be a good example to follow for updating. I assume you also updated from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2? May I ask what ROM you had in yours before and what ROM did you upgrade to? I assume you flashed .kdz and not OTA? Were you rooted prior to the update?
