This works only with a custom recovery. Otherwise there is no way to get into (stock) recovery (except you have root). If you are on kk after the LG logo press vol- & vol+ instead of vol- & power-button.

How have you tried to restore? Titanium Backup? If you have the apk, it's usually the easiest way to just move it to the system/app directory (or whereever the other LG-Apps are stored, don't know where exactly), set the proper permissions (usually CHMOD755), clean cache and dalvik and reboot. The reboot will take a bit longer, but the app should be there again after that procedure.

Could someone explain why the date that all is installed is wrong. I flashed the current rom on the 26th of april and in settings/applications it shows april 16 as installation date (also shows that date in Titanium Backup as installation date). Only the installation dates of things i manually installed is correct. Also i froze a few things yday and instead of showing april 28 it shows april 16 as the date they are turned off.

Also i noticed that some folders on internal sdcard have a 1970 as year..why is that?

Is it normal or is there a problem with my installation?

Thanks for your help.

What happened???

Hello guys, yesterday I got my G2 fixed under warranty. They put new motherboard. So now it's time for me to think what I did wrong then to brick my device so so hard. So here it's what happened. I was on stock 5.0.2 d80230a I was rooted and with TWRP. I had a backup of CM12 on my PC. I put out on usb and connected it to my phone through OTG. So here it's where i think i made the mistake. I just restored it. Without doing wipe... Then I booted into security boot error. I followed the guide for fixing and flashed all files in Linux and end up with not working kernel. So at the beginning, why do I got the security boot error? Later I read that I didn't have to wipe when restoring with TWRP. If you want more details ask me. I just can't continue without realizing what I did wrong. Thanks.

about storage

Hi there.

I bought a second hand G2 D802 unlocked from europe with 16 Gb of storage. I recently flashed cloudy rom and installed some games. My storage was reduced somewhat taking the Sytem data folder 6 Gbs. I checked with solid explorer what was taking so much space and for my surprise I was exceeding the 16 Gb of my phone. I checked the sticker on the phone box and its says 16 GB model.

Is my phone the 32 Gb model with the only showing 16 gb problem?

There is a way to check partitions or something to confirm how much storage my phone has?

I attached some screenshots.

You can use both. I've flashed the kdz and used the ROMs in the development section. I can link you the flashable zip that I made if you want. Its pure stock 32g. Same thing as using flash tool.

---------- Post added at 02:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 AM ----------

That's a good question yiani. Not wiping won't give you a security error. It'll just give you touch screen problems and other crazy behaviour, from my experience. Maybe you backed up and restored your original recovery which might not have been bumped? I don't know. Mixed partitions is probably the answer.

Hey guys,

got a little problem on my side here.

You probably noticed that the stock lollipop was released by Lg.

I tried to update my phone via the LG PC Suite.

But during the process it stopped and didn't went further.

User B57 was on the screen and interestingly a red "rooted" (although I didn't rooted it)

So now I'm stuck in the download mode, LG PC Suite won't regcognize my phone so I can restart the process.

Any ideas? Or am I bricked?

[Edit] starting the lg pc suite as admin did the trick but know the update process stops somewhere between 20-23% with an red assert

Hey Guys,

I have a problem and messed up...

i wanted to install the 20b version of Lollipop (http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/developm...shable-zip-t3070383/post59837620#post59837620) and downladed it to my phone's memory. I was on Kitkat rooted with TWRP installed.

I copied the new software .zip file onto my phone and wanted to wipe everything with TWRP to make a clean install before starting. The G2 unfortunately doesn't have an SD card, so i earased everything including the new Lollipop software that i wanted to install. Now i don't have an operating sytem.

I have TWRP 2.8.5.1 still installed and can enter it.

How can i get the Lollipop software file onto my phone or any KitKat file, as i can't do anything with my phone now....

I have a

VZW VS980, rooted and Xposed stock

. I just noticed the other day that if I try to change the Lockscreen Wallpaper to any Gallery picture, it says changed but doesn't actually change. It does work for Stock Wallpapers. It has been at least a month since I changed it, but even then I changed it to a downloaded gallery pic.

I even tried disabling the Xposed modules that address the lockscreen and rebooted and still the same.

Anyone have an idea how to fix? Everyrhing else seems to be running well so it's not a huge deal, just want to fix it. If it's anything more than a setting or simple download, I will just wait until KK hits (which looks like anytime now).

There should be apps on play store for this

If you are on stock Kit Kat there is no way to root or add custom recovery on installed Kk firmware, you will have to go back to stock JB via flash tool then root, install recovery, then when you are ready to flash the Kk Rom you'll have to flash your model's baseband and a Rom with a patched kernel that keeps recovery. (Phew..)

I have only tried CloudyStock 1.2 and it has been great so far. There are good instructions in the op there too, with a link to a step-by-step guide. Read, Read, and read some more and understand the steps before you start anything and you should be ok.

It depends on your phone, basically. Also, your usage. For example, I had okay results with 4.2.2 stock ROMs, better ones with the 4.4.2 stock one, and best results with PA (which is AOSP based).

On the other hand - some people are reporting best battery life on 4.2.2 stock.

Your best bet is to try them all and see which one fits you best. Also, always let a ROM settle in - in other words, use it for a week or more to get closer to a real picture. Don't base your results on the first day of usage. At least for me - ROMs start working better after a while (battery wise).

I know this doesn't actually answer your question, but it's my best shot at it. Maybe someone else will share a better answer.

Vanilla android Nexus email app not installing!!!

Hello all,

So for reasons I don't want to get into, the native email app on my G2 was deleted (yes I am rooted, and yes its gone). I downloaded the nexus stock android apk and installed it via the manual method by putting it in the systems/app file, changing permissions, rebooting.

Now it is in the app drawer, opens fine, and lets me go through the steps but for one reason or another will not log me in. It always says "username and/or password incorrect" even though I have quadruple checked it and tried multiple times. I feel like it could be on the server side, but why would the old stock app work??

ZV8/ZVA radio nandroid backup question

Hello,

I'm running a rooted stock ZVA rom on my LS980 (Sprint) with the ZVA radio. I'm dying to get CM11 up and running, and I understand that I need to flash the ZV8 radio so that I can successfully flash CM11 (thanks to Savoca's thread - LS980ZVA All you need to know).

My question is, if I make a nandroid backup of my current state (ZVA rom, ZVA radio) and flash a ZV8 radio, will I be able to restore from that nandroid with no issues, or will I need to use .tot to go back to stock, re-root, install custom recovery, and then restore from said nandroid to get back to my current state?

The ONLY reason that I would foresee going back to rooted stock would be if my Direct Connect Now app would not work with the new radio and rom (it's a requirement for my company). Should I be worried about that? The app play store description says it works with ZV8, but you never know...

I don't have an LG phone but I did!

I'm looking at the Verizon LG G2, it seems to have everything I want/need and I need a Samsung Galaxy S4 replacement as mine is smashed beyond any attempt at repair. LG G2s are available on Swappa but before I spring for it...

I got an LG years back and couldn't set up my email (POP3, ISP is cox.net) so I took it back to Verizon and the tech couldn't set it up either. Called LG and was told, "We don't allow cox.net on our phones!" I asked why and the answer was, "Because we don't, piss off now!" or something very similar.

I'm hoping LG no longer restricts ISP and that the customer "service" rep I talked to is now unemployed.

Can anyone say for sure?

Also, what should I know about this phone, will I like it? Is LG locking the bootloader as Samsung does? Can I root it? Can I install TWRP and CyanogenMod 11?

After about 10 more hours, I gave up, downloaded titanium backup, and did a factory restore, after being as sure as I could, that I wouldn't lose my root access.
