Hey:)

Some times you don't face any problems when you keep the KK baseband on CM for example.. For CM its recommended the JB baseband but for me works the KK too... but on some ROMs you may face problems like low signal, bad wifi, etc. so thats why you need to switch to recommended baseband

And the bootloader, is safe to keep the JB bootloader because for now all custom recovery menus and kernels are working on JB bootloader(some of them works on KK bootloader too)

Maybe in the future we will need to switch to KK bootloader, but until then keep using the JB bootloader.

And about AUTOREC, when you used AUTOREC it automatically downgraded your bootloader from KK to JB in order to install the custom recovery menu (TWRP with loki) :D
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
First of all: Using autorec means downgrading your bootloader and use loki to unlock it (which isn't possible with the 4.4.2 bootloader).

So you are definitely on JB bootloader. If you wouldn't be on JB bootloader definitely NONE of the ROMs would work, except BUMP (but that's pretty complicated, so I'm not gonna explain that).

PA requires the KK Baseband, since it's based on 4.4.2 sources. About CM: Some people say it works with KK baseband for them worked for me too, but if you get into trouble use the JB baseband. No1 knows why it works with KK BB sometimes^^

LG G2 D802 Low mic volume issue

Hi All, I am new so bear with me.

My wife has a LG-D802 32GB

Running stock android 4.4.2

Kernel 3.4.0

Software version D80220C-TWN-XX (this was an OTA update for this handset)

I recently rooted the phone with ioroot, but this issue was present before that, I was thinking to try an alternate ROM for my problem but haven't yet.

Issue is the handset mic is very low in volume (you need to shout for others to hear you), I have seen a few posts on internet regarding this but nothing of use to me.

The handset volume with speaker phone ON or using bluetooth in the car is fine. The issue is with normal call using the phone mic.

I think the phone was OK until the last OTA update. But it may have been dropped at some point as well.

If the speaker phone ON is OK would that suggest the issue is software related or is there another mic in the phone which turns on in this mode?

Is there a way to edit the phone Engineering Settings to turn up the handset mic? I have root and ES file explorer access to the device root directory, but I am not sure if this is a good way to go or how to make changes without bricking the phone!

Any suggestions would be helpful

Thanks Adam.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raulx222:
You can enter in download mode?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falabillio:
That is what I normally do to fix it however it isn't allowing download mode it is showing the download mode for a split second then saying stuff about fastboot. (I can let you know exactly what it says when I get home). I downloaded that program though and will attempt that.

Ok so I downloaded it and do the first step as stated then click dz file that was created, open and click the file I just made through extraction. it then states "Select extract dz, choose aboot, boot, laf. The files will be named like aboot_3454.bin etc..." I however don't see aboot so I am not sure what to do I did find boot and laf just not aboot.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yanis15:
Hi i don't think that the problem is from AutoRec. This happens sometimes without reason on our phones. The best solution is to open dialer menu and type:

5689#*980# (Sprint)

3845#*801# (T-Mobile)

3845#*803# (AT&T Canada)

3845#*802# (International)

3845#*800# (At&T)

3845#*980# (Verizon)

And when hidden menu is showed up, go to "Settings"

and go to "Update Touch Firmware". Then touch will stop working for 5 seconds after this it should be working.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
I don't think this applies to you. Your having problems with the flashtool. If you downloaded LS980ZVC_12.zip, maybe you have to unpack it with 7zip and take out the kdz?

Edit:

I think the sprint firmware comes as a tot file. If is is you have to use the second method in the back to stock guide, in the blue writing.

Thank you. I'll go try that now
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raulx222:
Far as i know, AutoRec changes your kernel with a patched one in order to can reboot back to your system, and maybe this kernel doesnt have a working knock on feature.. to make knock on to work, you need a custom kernel with working knock on like Dorimanx's kernel

I didn't tried your method, maybe it works too :D

EDIT: seems that your method is easier and it works :D

Verizon G2 - terrible battery life after root

SuperSU installed

Verizon mobile hotspot mod installed

You can install dorimanx kernel. Then you can use his tools to increase mic gain, maybe that could solve your problem.

2. I'm currently on dori+stock, everything bumped (kk bootloader), do I need to downgrade something before wipeing and flashing cm12?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
It definately won't have knock code. And I think you'll have to downgrade your bootloader because the cm kernel won't be bumped so you'll have recovery issues if you don't. Render broken is working on that with his kernel but I'm not sure if he's using kk sources yet.

I would like a good rom to start with that will run on my vs98026a easy to flash. Small footprint. Any susgestions
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z3pp3lin:
You can use any ROM that mentions that it's compatible with the VS980 and they are all easy to install; as long as you read the whole instructions for said ROM. And the fact that you're asking what you can install, sugests to me, that you should read a little more than just the OP to any ROM.

The smallest footprint wilk come from ROMs not based on stock; AOSP, AOKP, CM, etc based.

Since you have a Bumped recovery, you need to make sure the ROM is also Bumped. I have no clue if there are many ROMs for the G2 that are Bumped. I know XDABBEBs VS980 v2.3 and VS982.5 v1.0 are Bumped but they are based off of stock.

Try a few ROMs and see what you like.

Edit: There are some informational links in the 2nd post of this thread to note in case something goes wrong and I would highly suggest you set up a pc to go back to stock. It's easier to set it up when the device is working properly and when you're not stressed. Either way will work.

Try doing a factory reset. Haven't ever heard about such an issue. If the factory reset (do a backup before!!!) doesn't help, send it to LG.

Open SuperSU app, update binary and reboot (if you haven't done yet). Then it should work. Then download "terminal emulator" and type su. If there's a request for superuser rights, everything is ok. (I still trust this method to check root rights more than rootchecker-app. But this shouldn't go wrong either^^)

Hi Guys,

I'm an Samsung S3 user and decided to take the punt with the G2. I've bought one from eBay which is rooted with Mahdi ROM but I was thinking of trying stock first to see what it's like. I have rooted my S3 and using the Revolution ROM (which is the stock one but cleaned up and with root on).

I was wondering what the equivalent one is available for the G2? Or should I be sticking with this ROM perhaps instead as the Stock ROM doesn't offer anything extra? I've seen a couple on searching, but not sure what to go with!

Bro! (luckily) you are faaar, far away from a brick. Have you got adb drivers installed? (@Art Vanderlay might have you some tips, just in case). Then setup adb, download a ROM you want to install and gapps. Then boot in TWRP, go advanced, go to sideload, connect yohr phone to your pc and swipe. Then copy the <ROM>.zip and the <GApps>.zip in the same directory as the adb files. Then run a command line in the directory of the adb (use shift + right mousebutton). Then type "adb sideload ROM.zip" and then "adb sideload GApps.zip". The filles will be copied to your phone and immediately be flashed.
