"D802 32Gb shows only 16Gb" issue

First: I already searched the forum, flashed kdz, flashed tot, downgraded from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2, installed ADB, rooted, moved files to /system/bin, chmodded, etc. Still the issue.

So, that's the problem:

- I was on 4.4.2 stock rooted rom and I flashed MIUI 4.7.4 (first official release for LG G2). It has not booted, so I needed to flash back a stock rom. And there's the problem. Strange to think, but maybe I flashed a 16gb rom on my 32gb G2. And there's my ex 32Gb showing only 16gb (10.62 available).

What I tried?

- flash official stock rom via Lg Flash Tool 1.8 modded

- flash official stock TOT file

- Upgraded and Downgraded (from/to 4.4.2 / 4.2.2

- searched for solutions and found the one that involves "rooting, usb debug, move sdparted files into system/bin, chmod them, use adb shell"

This last chance, is the one supposed to work, so, actually I'm stuck in the middle:

- stock rom 4.2.2 flashed and working

- developer options activated and usb debug activated

- rooted with ioroot

- installed ES File Manager (since Total Commander is not able to move files into system/bin even if rooted)

- moved files, chmodded them to 0755

- installed drivers / minimal adb

- launched adb, checked version (adb version, correctly shown), checked devices (correctly shows a multi numeric code)

- adb shell does not work. it does not show anything and remain stuck until I disconnect my usb cable

- on different conditions (that I cannot explain, due to many retries), I don't know why, it logs into "parted", but once there no command is working. everything I'm going to write will show again the command list of parted;

- on different conditions again, adb stops working again saying "permission denied" at adb shell.

Last but not least, there a problem rebooting the phone once chmodded the move files: it becomes slow, laggy, almost stuck and unusable, and it need to be flashed again (Normal Flash on Lg Flash Tool) to get working again, but loosing the rooted status, and forcing me to start over.

Someone could please help me? I'm freaking out!

Thanks in advance. :)

Long-standing issues with flashing ANY AOKP 4.4+ nightly onto D800

Hey all,

I've had issues flashing any of the AOKP KitKat nightlies to my LG D800 since I first bought it, and I've had no luck finding a solution no matter how I've searched.

I can flash the unofficial 4.3 AOKP nightly easily, as well as Cyanogen's 4.4 nightlies.

I'm using CWM Recovery on the device (I know it's the latest version, just don't recall the version number) and I know the device IS properly rooted.

I have made sure to properly do the data, cache, and dalvek cache wipes each time (tried the order my boss suggested (data, cache, dalvek) as well as a number of other combinations of the same) each time without any success.

When I flash an AOKP 4.4 Nightly, it seems to complete properly. The issue comes when I try and start the device: the device will boot, freeze after (approx.) 90 seconds, then restart itself. It will continue to do this until I get into the recovery, and restore to a previous backup, or just flash over it with the 4.3 build.

As I'm new on the forum, I cannot post about this on Rohan's official thread for AOKP's builds (and from what I've read, sounds like doing so would be taboo) so I'm hoping you guys have some ideas as to what I can do?

I'm kinda at my wit's end, as the unofficial AOKP 4.3 build has a DREADFUL memory leak.

I have a friend with the same phone, has no trouble flashing the 4.4 Nightlies, using the exact same setup as me.

So... Anyone got any ideas? :confused:

Thank you so much in advance!

I need some help updating my Lg G2 to 4.4 I got the update since it came out and downloaded it via wifi and lte once the update starts it goes 1/3 of the way and the phone reboots the update does not complete and there is no change to my phone. The only thing I've done is root it I thought that might be the issue so I un rooted and still no luck. I even tried a full reset to factory settings and I cant get it to install. Is there anyone that can help. Is there a way to do it manually because lg website doesnt seem to have a way other than ota.

Finally got my LG G2 after some back ordered drama.

Rooted and installed the xdabbeb camera mode. Removed some junk with system app remover. Now I'm looking to customize my shining new phone.

I'm looking through the xposed framework stuff or flashing a rom? But some roms don't work with the camera mod? What do you guys recommend for customizing and improving battery life.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bad_HABIT:
Well I've got myself into a situation and need some help and knowledge.

Just bought this phone. After playing with the phone for an hour I decided to root and flash recovery by the following method

TowelRoot

Downloaded SuperSU from the play store

Then AutoRec

Right after the AutoRec reboot, my screen started having issues. When I try to wake up the device its all black and lines. Like the screen was 'broken'. The only method to fix this is to hold power button for 5 or seconds until device reboots. Issue reappears as soon as the screen times out and device goes to sleep. I searched without any answers so I'm wondering if I have a faulty device which I should return or if I did something wrong while rooting because that is when the issue appeared :(

Anyone?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bad_HABIT:
Nevermind I figured it out. It took a lot of searching but finally got it working semi normal again. Screen works now but knock to awake is gone. Oh what fun!

Camera flash on focus

Hello to all

Came from Nexus 4, rooted and installed CM11 almost immediately, really don't like LGs UI.

Anyways, the problem is following and I'm not sure is it a bug, feature or hardware issue, well the camera doesn't fire LED flash on touch to focus in low light conditions but when taking a picture it fires flash. So my question is is this normal condition since my N4 normally fired flash on touch to focus in low light and then again when taking picture. Btw, returned stock image and the same thing happening with stock LG camera app, as well as Google Camera and stock CM11 one.

Sorry for posting here but i'm still under 10 posts so can't get it under cm11 development thread, and pardon me again if this is already answered somewhere but i can't find anything similar...

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone :) my coworkers daughter smashed her Verizon LG G2. I purchased the broken phone from my coworker for $40. I purchased a replacement screen/digitizer and also another micro usb/headphone ribbon cable. (his daughter idiotically tore the main ribbon cable off thinking it was a sticking holding in the non removable battery :( )

I finally received the parts and replaced everything ( I have done this procedure multiple times with other phones so I am not necessarily clueless about this stuff).

I got the phone to turn on but after about a 20-60 seconds of being on the homescreen my screen will freeze and then the phone will shut itself off).

Does ANYONE have any idea as to why this might be happening ? PLEASE any ideas are welcomed ! I want to stop using my Moto G and start using this awesome phone !
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bad_HABIT:
Hey thanks for catching my post. You are correct I have a jdi panel. I am using the the tmobile g2 D801 variant. I'm gonna go ahead and start from scratch and return everything to stock using the guide in another thread. After much reading the issue came from flashing TWRP using autorec.

I like this phone but the lg skin is horrible to my eyes (coming from a nexus 4). It's also missing google features like the stock dialer with photo id and beautiful notification panel.

I tried a custom AOSP rom (mahdi) but as far as I played with it is missing the features that make this phone unique like being able to utilize the IR blaster.

Can't have the best of both worlds I guess?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
yes we cannot have the best of both worlds because just like other devices some things require the lg framework to work and then there are thing like camera/quickremote which even if ported are never the same as being on the stock rom

if you have jdi panel then after using autorec all you would need to do is flash a stock/custom jdi kernel(latest dorimanx kernel can detect panel and converts to jdi for jdi panel users) or use a kernel converter
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bad_HABIT:
That makes sense. Actually I found a flashable file to restore ir remote on custom roms so hopefully it works.

Anyway I restored to stock using the latest (T-Mobile KitKat D80120A_00) kdz file and the lg tool.

I have the TMO D801 G2.

Weird thing though is that my knock to awake is gone. I did a hard factory reset and it still didn't restore it.

Knock to sleep works but knock to awake does not. I searched and there was a code you had to input in the dialer but none of the codes brought the menu up. Am I missing something? I would think that after a full restore to stock, the phone would would work properly.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
if knock on not working you can try go to hidden menu:

-go to phone dialer

-dial 3845#*801#

menu will pop up and go to settings and then look for update touch firmware option

-wait about 15 seconds

-check if knock on work now
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrAndAG:
What the luck! I was going to ask the same question regarding "lost KnockOn" feature and the solution is already here.

Hey, i've been willing to try stock android for a while on my G2, but I've never been so adventurous. I left that for my Nexus 7.

Hello All,

This is my first post so please be gentle.

I have a LG G2 European version D802 and as all Android phones with stock rom after a while it gets sluggish and you get tired of it.

I managed to gain root to it throw a 1 click app i found on the internet, and it now has root access.

I downloaded the Cyanogenmod app but it said that my device isn't supported for CyanogenMod.

Could you help me out with some answers if D802 is supported by CyanogenMod, and where can i download the files for it, or maibe a link to how to install it (since this forum is very big and i waste a lot of time searching for things that might appear to you in a heartbeat.)

Also another question is, if i manage to install cyanogenmod, how will it update again ? will it work over the air or will i have to always do the root install process all over at every update ?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cuks:
Well, you're using stock rom so that's why you can't used apps for CM.

As soon as you've rooted you phone you can say goodbye to the OTA.

My recommendation would be to keep using stock rom, add custom recovery and xposed module (g2 tweakbox).

With that you can remove all bloatware apps and unhide some cool hiden features.

From my experience, stock rom (rooted and will all this that I've mentioned up here) is the best combination ;)

...and of course, add some camera mod like xdabbeb.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10acjed:
Thanks and Question

First off thanks for the Q&A thread.

I am new here as well. Recently got a LG G2 from spring (LS980 ZVC) rooted, flashed a custom stock optimized found here and like it.

But would like to try a different rom, maybe more than one as well. Not wanting a dual boot, just wanting to flash a different rom to mess around with and see if I like it, then be able to just go back to my current backup when I am done.

I am using a simple app that boots to recovery with TWRP. I have done a back up, tried flashing a new rom but am stuck (not literally) in the wipe stage. My noob knees are a bit shakey, so I wont wipe everything until I know what will happen. And would prefer to just ask, first rather than start help me please thread when my phone is a paper weight..

So my question is do I just wipe everything except internal storage and then install zip from its folder?

With no SD card, I just have my roms/backup in my twrp or download folder, so I do not want to end up wiping the back ups n roms as I would have nothing to install.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
To factory reset using harware keys you have to have the stock stock recovery and basically there are two methods to try:

Method one

-power off phone

-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

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
Right its always better to wipe everything (except internal storage). Wiping data wipes all apps and data, and wiping system wipes the system partition were the ROM is kept. The backup that you made will stay on your SD card and will always be available for you to flash if you mess up somehow. So you don't need to stress since your doing the right thing and being careful.

Just go ahead and wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik, install ROM zip and/or baseband and reboot.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
Well first we don't have multiboot feature so that would not be an option, anyways when flashing a rom there are a few things to look at:

-when wiping you wipe all except the internal storage because that is where the rom+backups are stored

-depending on rom you want to flash you may need to flash a different baseband

-backups in twrp are usually stored in twrp/backups/folder with nunbers and letters

-you should learn how to boot to recovery using hardware buttons in case you ever get stuck in bootloop:

Method one mainly for devices without knock code update

--power off phone

--Hold volume down+power button

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

-press power button 2-3 times

Method two mainly for devices with knock code update

--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

Do not worry since you already have custom recovery it will not factory reset instead it just boots you into recovery

Just a heads up, and this is for anybody else that might have the same issue as me:

I installed the 80120e update using the LG Support Tool, and it installed fine and I didn't lose any data or apps. I lost root and TWRP after the update, obviously, but they were easily gained again with towelroot and autorec. Only thing is I have to go through with Titanium Backup and uninstall all of the bloatware apps now. :P
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
There's a couple of things I'm not clear on. You said that you took the KitKat update. But you then said that 2 months ago you flashed a custom ROM. At the time that you tried to flash your recovery which ROM were you on?

Alright if you can't get the combo to work, there's a dirty way to do it.

Download twrp manager and pick reboot recovery. You don't have a recovery so it will instead do a factory reset.

ROM name - Stock

Android version - 4.4.2

Kernel version - 3.4.0

Software version - LS980ZVC

Mods - None (fully stock)

I have a question to ask regarding network mode selection: I am using my LS980 G2 in Kenya. I unlocked it a few days ago. I have been trying to get it to work only 2G (GSM) since 3G reception at where I am at the moment is poor. Under Network Mode in Mobile Networks the available options are:

- Global (?????)

- LTE/CDMA

- CDMA

- GSM/UMTS

It is currently on GSM/UMTS. Under this option the default setting I think is UMTS when the two (GSM and UMTS) are available. Under Roaming, the check box "Allow GSM data" is checked, underneath which there is a menu item that can enable me to choose between the WCDMA mode of my local network and GSM. Every time I select GSM, it works for a few seconds before it automatically falls back to WCDMA. This is infuriating since I would rather have 5 bars of stable 2G network than have 1 bar of battery-sapping 3G network. Is there anything I can do to get it to work with 2G only without having to flash another ROM?
