[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSwimmer:
Hi everybody!

I'm not a total noob of the android developement world, but I still have something not completely clear in my mind about it.

I have a 32GB no brand D802 coming from Germany (as said from the imei checker site. I'm Italian but I bought it on Amazon) and I'm looking forward to see Lollipop on my device. If I go check the firmware in the settings menu, it results the version is D80220h-EUR-XX. Now, I read on the internet that the No Brand Update for my country (italy) is out and I have some questions for you:

1) is it compatible with my phone?

2) if it's so, how can I flash it?

3) is it better if I wait for the european/german version?

4) what's the difference between a "normal" firmware and an "open_16G"?

I come from an old Galaxy Nexus and it was a little easyer to understand the related stuff :angel:

Thanks from now for your patience! :D
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
Both the d800 and the d802 are the most supported by devs. The d802 has the biggest amount of users.

I think the test point method is your only option. When you can't connect to windows or Linux and you have no recovery download or fastboot then you'll have to force Qualcomm 9006 mode. Speak to the professional unbrickers in that thread.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
1. I don't think you'll get that update unless you flash the Italy version. The hong Kong version is still stuck on 20d. They're rolled out differently.

2. You can flash it with the lg flash tool

3. The EUR version gets updated pretty fast so you shouldn't have to wait long to get it. Its up to you.

4. As the name suggests its for the 16g version. Its there because that update would have rolled out at a different time.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSwimmer:
Ok, thank you very much! I think I'll wait for LG software to notify me when my update is ready :) another question: the 16g version is for the 16GB phones?

I found a .kdz in my system at below location. I think it must have been downloaded when I updated my G2 using LG PC Suite.

Does anybody have trouble with backup scripts(from addon.d) on AOSP?

For some reason I can't flash CM nightlies and keep system apps like GApps, SuperSU because after flashing a new nightly I'm either stuck in bootloop(this happens if the SuperSU backup script is present), either GApps are spamming the screen with FCs (when GApps backup script is present)

Some time ago I used PA GAPPS and after flashing CM nightlies I didn't had issues like this :/... now I tried with Slim gapps, PA gapps, and Delta gapps and the same issue occurred.

If you have a F320L you can... :) Lucky bro you :D

Had this issue on EVERY CM nightly. I think it's an issue with the updater script of the ROM (which imo should backup the sys apps before upgrading).

You should be "clean" when you take ota, which means no modifications in system partiton. So i recommend to flash the kdz with lg flash tool before taking ota, it's not safe to take ota if you have root and the camera mod installed.

Thanks mate...will try..:)

But before flashing this kdz, I was thinking of installing TWRP on my F320L so that I can make a nandroid backup(a friend of mine suggested this). But couldn't find TWRP img for F320L. I found one for F320K but don't know whether its gonna work or not.

Can you help me in this regard??:)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
To update twrp you just need to download the latest one and flash it in recovery. You can also flash a different recovery like CWM the same way.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
The LGG2 has a Embedded Multimedia Card (eMMC). Almost all mobile phones and tablets use this form of flash for main storage.

The partition layout for the LGG2's eMMC can be found at /proc/partitions.

We can output the partition layout by typing in a shell,

cat /proc/partitions

However, the previous command is not recommend as the output does not display the symbolically linked names, which we want as human beings.

Typing the following command will get us a list of our device partitions along with other useful information, including name.

ls -l /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/

From this output we can see the LGG2 has 36 partitions.

You can label download mode as the laf partition as well. It is separate but still relies on the bootloader. And without an efs I believe you can still use your phone as a tablet. An upgrade from a brick.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
What else would be stored on this partition than the DL-mode? A kernel of course, but without the download-mode it would be useless... Tbh I never had a deeper look at the different partitions.

About the EFS... I don't know, but might it be, that the MAC adress is stored on this partition too, meaning you couldn't even use the WiFi anymore?

Have a look at the second post of this thread. There is a link called "how-to back to stock using kdz" or something like this. To get the proper kdz file, enter your IMEI here: lg-firmware-rom.com

Then follow the guide, use the kdz you downloaded and perform a cse flash. Afterwards all your data (including the one on your internal SD) will be gone.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Horizanzz:
That happens to me sometimes, do you have some kind of adblock? Or something that messes with hosts files? Either way, if you're rooted, then get an app/apk called adaway. It's an adblock. You could activate it, and if it works, then just leave it on all the time, it blocks ads anyways. But if it still doesn't work after you activate it, then tell it to revert hosts files. And then that should work. If that doesn't work then sorry I can't help you. Unless you wanna flash via kdz method, that's almost guaranteed to fix it. If you're not rooted try rooting through stumproot. If you just don't want to root, then the only way really is flashing the stock ROM via kdz.

the problem started when I wanted to flash vanir LP rom on my phone, the installation started and after a couple of lines, it said that it failed and there were some texts like "dev/s**/***/... could not be found", looked like the installer wanted to access a partition but failed... after that, the phone went crazy...

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Horizanzz:
Woah you got lucky, you should still get adaway, because that saves your original hosts file, all you have to do is activate it once and then tell it to revert the hosts file, if sometime in the future this happens again, and you want your hosts file back, then just activate and deactivate adaway once and your hosts file will be set back to the original one. :) good luck.

D802 not recognized

Hello guys.

I'm the owner of a G2 D802 from Portugal, and as must of you, I'm eager to try the Lollipop update.

At the present I have the Cloudy G2 2.2 rom installed. As I try to connect my phone to my PC, it isn't tecognized in download mode and in MTP, PTP and LG software mode. I've already installed the LG drivers (tried 3 different versions) including in the no signature driver mode, LG PC suite and the Flash tool according to the tutorial in XDA.

Hello , can anyone tell me why the G2 suffer from random reboots in AOSP roms , i mean even in stable builds , everything is smooth and works well but i have 1 or 2 reboots each day.

Why ? I read in a lot of threads of different ROMs that this bug is present..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
Any

stable

AOSP ROM shouldn't be giving you random reboots. ROMs go through a lot of testing before they can be labelled stable.

What ROM & version are you using?

Sounds like a problem with your device's stability to me.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soufiansky:
For example slimkat 9.0

And i think you are right , let me explain to you. If i flash a .kdz firmware ,when the process is done ,the phone reboots normally but when i try to tap my pin code it reboots again.

Same thing after rooting, i always have 2 reboots.

When i was on Slimkat , i had random reboots i mean in different situations , sometimes while talking on whatsapp ,or surfing on the internet, i had 1 every 2 days on slimkat.

I was using the KK modem. Thank you for your time :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
That definitely sounds funky to me. Depending on how you rooted your phone it is known to be necessary for your phone to reboot twice. Take StumpRoot for example. Stumproot will root your phone, then request for you to reboot, then as soon as you reboot it will reboot once again to finalize it's configuration and backend scripts that're running. So in a case like that, then rebooting twice after root is considered normal and absolutely fine.

There definitely seems to be some instability with your device, especially if your getting random reboots initially after returning to stock using the kdz method.

It may be a good idea to grab your logcat and send it off to the developer of your ROM so you can possibly get an insight into what's causing the crashes (unless you're able to read and understand a logcat for yourself). Like I said that's definitely not normal behaviour for a stable ROM.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soufiansky:
Yes it's stumproot who reboot it twice ,and i have the same thing only after flashing a firmware in the first boot.

Other than that no RR in stock or LP Rom .

That's not a device behaviour (well it is kind of, but read on)... I had this too on SlimKat and many other ROMs. The issue came with an update. Same on CM. AfaIk it was a commit which has never been removed again. To me it seems like an undervolting in Kernel Settings which causes the phone to reboot. Some people have no reboots at all, some have it like every 1-2 hours. So imo the kernel does recognize the "classification" of the SoC wrong or it doesn't at all. Or it's just wrong set. I never played with it, but a custom kernel and a very slight overvoltage might solve the problem. Not sure about that but it could be worth a try...

Download Terminal emulator, and type

su

allow the SuperUser request, then reboot the device, open the terminal emulator again and enter

su
dmesg|grep PVS

You should get something like acpuclk-8974 qcom,acpuclk.31: ACPU PVS: 4. The number at the end is the "classification" of your CPU. The higher is the better and the max is 7. Mine is 2 so pretty bad and I'm not surprised I got some random reboots while other didn't...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raulx222:
O.o what really is this "classification"?

Mine is also 2, and I don't have random reboots on CM and I didn't had on any other ROM.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
I'm only talking about KK ROMs on the D802. Ofc there are other things that migth cause random reboots. But I wouldn't be surprised if this was one.

Some more information about this classification: There are some differences in silicium quality and production variances and so on and that's why qualcom categorizes it's SoCs into 7 different classes.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soufiansky:
