Com.android.phone crashing problem

Hi, i am currently on ZVE version with G2 LS980. for sim unlocking i transferred the carrier folder and changed the permission to rw-r-r. but everytime i restart the phone, the files in the property folder in carrier dissapear. why is that happening? is that the reason why the gsm signals bars are so low? also the permissions of the respective folder change. However i did not change the apns.xml file and neither did i delete telephony.db or mmsc file. used tweeker app to set gsm data. things seemed to work fine however now i am facing com.android.phone crashing while making and recieving calls. deleted cache of the phone app, google services framework app and also factory reseted the phone. but issue not solved. please help.

Thanks Art Vanderlay...I gave it a go. pdanet installed, along with its ADB driver.

Still having connection problems though. When plugging in the G2 via USB, the ADB driver pops up in the device manager, but I still can't send anything to it (e.g. with ADB push -> "device not found"). SImple tools also can't find the device. Even PDANET says "Device plugged in", but then immediately follows up with a sync error message.

I think a big part of the problem is that I can't see anything on the screen whatsoever except the vertical white lines. I have no way of knowing if it is in download mode, or if RSA fingerprint messages are popping up. It might even be sitting at the TWRP menu and I just can't see it. Unfortunately pressing on the screen doesn't seem to register anything, even if I were to guess where some TWRP buttons were.

Arrgh...

Does your Computer recognize the phone? As long as yes, you can hope to solve the issue. Are you sure that the device is a D802 and not a modded and GSM unlocked LS980?! Try to press Vol+ and plug it into your PC. Maybe you reach the Download mode... You probably didn't flash the JDI Patch...

Clean cache of the explorer. ;) Maybe that helps. Are you browsing in "root"-mode? Are the files just hidden or deleted? I don't think this is the reason for the poor signal strength. But I have no clue about that. Maybe you can find an answer in the GSM unlock thread...

Thanks Xanthrax. I have tried uninstalling and resinstalling drivers several times on my desktop. Have also just tried installing pdanet on a laptop without any old G2 drivers on it. In all cases, ADB Interface is there in Device manager, but still can't find the G2 device using any tools or command line (e.g. ADB PUSH as previously described).

---------- Post added at 12:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------

Thanks Sunandroid.

When I could read the screen, it said it was a D802 under settings. The tiny writing at the bottom back of the case also says "D802".

It does sound very much like I just need to apply the JDI patch. I presume flashing back to stock should fix it as well? But I can't flash anything at the moment...

Yes, my computers seem to recognise the phone, at least to the point that on connecting the G2 via USB connection, there is the "USB device connected" sound, and the ADB interface/driver pops up in the device manager. This applies both with phone on via power button, phone on with power plus volume down (trying to blindly get into recovery), and with phone on via power plus volume up (trying to blindly get into download). I assume with the phone in download mode I should be able to run the LG Flashtool without anything fancy settings?

The problem I have is that despite the Windows OS appearing to recognise the G2 as being connected, none of the programs I need to flash the phone recognise my phone as being connected (ADB, LGFlashtool, SimpleTool, Linux etc.)

Just pulled out my wife's laptop. As clean a start as I can make.

Followed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2797190 as closely as possible...

1. installed united LG driver

2. volume up on G2 -> USB to laptop, using original LG G2 USB cable (can't read display, hope its in download mode). ADB device pops up in device drivers

3. run LG flash 2014

4. try to flash D802 stock rom

5. LG Flash starts phone analysis, then stops, saying device is disconnected, please reconnect USB and retry.

6. I tried "retry", then "retry" after unplugging, replugging, turning off then on again, turning off then on with volume up etc..

7. no dice!

Hard Brick Help

Okay, to start off I do have a faint idea of what i'm doing and just need a little guidance on where I'm at. So, I restored my g2 to original os coming from cyanogenmod and did a system update but when I did that it would only boot into TWRP no matter how I tried to boot it. I decided to just delete everything on my phone so now there is absolutely no data other than TWRP. I attempted to try install the stock os but my computer will not detect the device even though I have installed all the drivers necessary. Also, I tried to get it into download mode by Volume Up + Power but it has the flashing red light so... Please help direct me on where I should continue from here. Thank you so much.

browsing in root mode? if the phone is rooted and then browsing is what you mean then yes. i have tried everything that xanthrax advised but to no vail. i was just asked to follow this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2798566 to edit build.prop file. will see if this works.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Well.... About the device it self... where have you bought it? Because some ebay sellers swap the backcover of the LS980 with the one of the d802, flash a slightly modded firmware to unlock gsm functionality and let it look like a d802. And the Hardware stays the LS980 one and you have to flash LS980 stuff.

To solve that issue is probably more knowledge needed than I have. I suggest to post your question in a separate Q&A Thread again. Or probably there already is one. If you got really lucky you may find a "how to unbrick" thread....

2nd post of this thread: Stuck in TWRP after OTA. follow this guide.

[you need a working adb. if you haven't got one > guide in the second post of this thread as well] Then download a ROM (as flashable zip) to your computer, boot into recovery, connect your phone to the computer. in twrp: go to advanced > sideload > [swipe] then copy the rom.zip in the same folder like the adb.exe (on your computer). open a command line in that folder (shift + right-mousebutton) > type "adb sideload rom.zip" the "rom.zip" is the name of the zipfile you want to flash. You can rename it for easyier typing or use shift to autocomplete. The file will be copied to your phone, and flashed immediately.

Some Filebrowsers have a root mode and only in this mode the root functions are enabled. But that probably wasn't the problem.

Hope the build.prop edit does what it has to. ;)

LG G2 D800 stuck in CWM after taking OTA update

I accidentally took an OTA update and now I have bricked my phone. At the moment the phone is stuck in CWM and will not do anything from there. I have tried to recover from /sdcard but it won't let me because it says the /sdcard is not mountable. I have tried to sideload, but my computer will not recognize the phone even though I have all the drivers.

No there isn't. A partition is corrupted. so flashing a rom won't help.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limafoxtrot:
Yes, I got it off ebay. The phone OS did identify itself as a D802, although I don't know how significant that it.

Having said that, even if it really is a LS980, the big issue I have at the moment is connectivity via USB to enable reflashing. Regardless of D802 vs LS980, shouldn't the same LG drivers enable connectivity? I would think the only issue with D802 vs LS980 is at the point of which ROM you reflash with. I only wish I could get that far!

Sorry if that is a silly question.

Ok - update - I removed the back cover and at the bottom left corner it says "D801/D803". Which isn't a LS980, but also doesn't seem to be a D802...

Well ebay strikes again. The labels stamped near the battery are the best way to identify the model. So what you have is a Canadian variant. Well the good news is that explains why you couldn't flash the d802 kdz. I don't know that much about that variant but there's a thread here about it. There might be something there that can help you.

Hey all. I'm having a slight problem here with my device that I haven't quite found a solution to just yet. It seems like I'm only able to flash certain AOSP ROMs with my LS980. I can flash EOS and Vanir, but other ROMs just bootloop on the LG splash screen. Slimkat, AOKP, CM, PA, etc. I've tried flashing different kernels and factory resetting after first boot, but I still get thrown for the loop. If it means anything, I rooted using towelroot and used AutoRec for recovery. Anybody know what's going on, or had this problem before?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
I don't get you. What have you tried yet? Does a reboot help?

Full wiped before flash? Try out different recoveries and versions. What version do yoh currently use? On my D802 TWRP 2.8.0.1 is working fine.

Sorry missed that post. Basically depends on your usage. Most probably stock Kernel & ROM is the battery-friendliest setup. Maybe you find a highly tweaked Stock (based) ROM that provides a slightly better batterylife. AOSP ROMs are likely the worst for batterylife (but still awesome on our D802 ;) ) I think somewhere in between are ports from other LG phones.

AOSP coming from LG-D801 4.4.2 rooted with towel root

Ok, So im fairly new to the G2 XDA community. my previous experience has been with the mytouch 4g, htc amaze, various samsung, and nexus 4 & 5. I got this phone with 4.4.2, and rooted with the "towel root" method. I have not put any recovery on yet. My question is: I have heard conflicting information regarding using roms and kernels coming from 4.4.2 especially AOSP, (witch is what i want). I have heard things about white lines, broken features, recovery not working properly, conflicting whatever...so for anyone who puts AOSP roms on coming straight from 4.4.2 without downgrading back to jellybean or whatever, how is it? and in that matter, is using autoreck safe coming from towel root? as in, will i get white lines? sorry if this is re posted but there is so much info spread out everywhere without clear answers.

You missed something: to be able to install TWRP you have to downgrade the bootloader to JB. Exactly this does autorec (yeah, it is safe, but as always: nothing is guaranteed).

Whitelines depend on the paneltype: jdi or lgd. if you got white lines (and jdi) you have to flash a patch and they will be gone. (Most roms recognize the panel type automatically and install this patch by themselfes) Blacklines (some roms have/had this issue) are a permanent screendamage.

Everything that Sunandroid said, but I want you to know something else: Stay away from the latest PA build in the "Test" folder if you're on LS980. That's was the very first ROM I flashed when I rooted my device, and it immediately damaged my screen. I booted the ROM, and the LG logo faded out, and the screen kinda.... Over hauled itself and burned itself, thus giving me the black lines when it finally booted to the OS. Then I flashed a whole bunch of other ROMs and then came back to that very same ROM that I thought was just acting weird that one time, but nope.

If your on 4.4.2 you just install this app which runs a script that downgrades the bootloader and the patched kernel for you. So you stay on kk to do thid. Still curious about your download mode though. If your phones brand new maybe they changed the combination, like they did with hard reset but i doubt it.
