All those disks are the phones partitions. Windows can't mount them. You need to use linux on vmware or something. Check that out here and set up ubuntu.

XD Well then... I previously rooted with IOroot. Gonna do it the same way this time... The flashtool worked flawnlessly on 64 for me... But idk if it run in compatibility mode...

About F2FS: LOL... I'm sure, they are gonna improve this file system. But at the moment it's imho just ridiculous...

I was just wondering why it doesn't work. As already said, IOroot just works fine for me. :)

EDIT: [MENTION=5644061]Art Vanderlay[/MENTION]s way is probably the better one. Never heard about this guide, Vanderlay. But I'll never stop learning. ;) Tell us how it went. I'm really interested...

About the "lot of local disks" could you post a screenshot? I can't really imagine how it looks like. In your case you can first try to use the kdz method (have a look at the second post of this thread). If this fails, you probably must give fastboot and manual flash a shot (like [MENTION=5644061]Art Vanderlay[/MENTION] already said). Which variant have you got (the bricked one)?

Hi guys, just woundering if i can have more screen on time.

100% -> 50% ≠ 50% -> 0%. You will never get 7h SoT if you had 3.5h with the first 50%. Your battery doesn't get worse within the first 20 cycles. If you sync more accs now or so, a new ROM won't help. The Stock one is pretty close to be the "battery-friendliest" one. So It will be hard to find a ROM that consumes less battery.

Use ES File explorer, navigate to /data/dalvick-cache, mark everything and delete. Fpr clearing cache, navigate to /data/system/cache , mark everything and delete. Then reboot immediately.

Probably not. Have you enabled mobile data? Try decreasing the max message size in settings (if the app allows you to do that, I don't use it)

Have you tried to boot into recovery? If it's installed, you could directly flash another ROM...

You have rooted before autorec? If not, you have to do that first. Otherwise you could try to perform a factory reset. Maybe that would get you out of the bootloop. If nothing helps, downgrade with tot/kdz method and then install twrp the old way... both guided are linked in the second post of this thread.

Bricked my G2

So I am relatively tech savvy but am having an issue with my brothers phone.

Here are the facts:

* His phone in About Phone section said: D802.

* Using this information, I installed proper version of Autorec to flash and install recovery.

* Once done, I saw white lines on screen and nothing else. No LG logo nothing.

* The back side of th ephone said LS980 (I found out later after I removed the back case :( )

* ADB does not recognize the phone.

* Fastboot technically recognizes it as I have tried flashing recovery file and it was sent successfully. But giving 'fastboot devices' shows ? fastboot (is this normal)

Any ideas what I should do.

I have tried LG Flash Tool but it does not recognize it I believe.

I have tried 2 computers a 1 virtual machine.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
True. So don't update if you have a custom recovery.

AFAIK kdz method is the only way to get the "rooted" flag away in DL Mode. Don't be afraid of the flashtool. It won't hurt you. ;)

1 or 2 pages ago, [MENTION=5644061]Art Vanderlay[/MENTION] posted a guide (sry, no link, online on mobile Edit: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57796798&postcount=4591 disxussed a bit below this post) That might do the trick. You have to use linux.

There's a JDI panel fix. You can flash it through recovery. But since autorec/twrp recognizes the panel automatically, you shouldn't run into this issue. Just in case: Download it and flash it if neccessary. White lines should be gone then. Edit2: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2792844

Try out the different sertings. Probably the best way to find aut which ones are working. ;)

You got most of it right however BUMP is only patched on the latest Lollipop LG G3 ROMS. The 4.4.2 bootloader in our LG G2s are old and BUMP works great. I have a D802T running full stock v20d Australian firmware with TWRP and no messing about downgrading bootloaders and patching kernels.

I recommend non savvy people against using a BUMP'd TWRP however as none of the custom ROMs for the G2 have been bumped and they still rely on the old downgraded bootloader/loki method. Flashing any ROM on a BUMP'd TWRP without manually BUMPing the boot.img of the custom ROM you are flashing will result in a soft brick.

How do you manually BUMP the boot.img of a custom ROM?

Having a BUMP ROM and BUMP TWRP does this allow you to install an upgraded bootloader? KK or L?

Thanks
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan012:
Autorec is just to install custom recovery. Nothing bad will happen by uninstalling it
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keyman91:
To manually BUMP the kernel of a ROM, you need to extract the boot.img out of the zip file, use Open BUMP to BUMP it and then replace it in the ROM zip with your BUMP'd version.

The latest version for the G2 at the time of this post is KitKat which was released early this year. BUMP works with it perfectly fine and the advantage of BUMP vs Loki is that it works on the KitKat bootstack, you don't have to mess around by downgrading the bootloader, installing a patched kernel as well as a couple other partitions to work with the downgraded bootloader.

F2FS is file system like FAT, NTFS, etc. It was made by Samsung to cater specifically for flash storage found in phones. You need a compatible custom ROM that supports F2FS to use it. You can read more about the possible performance advantages of F2FS here.

Hi, not sure if i have to post it here, but as it is a "noob friendly" thread... :)

I want to use Xdabbeb's Camera Mod in a rooted G2 with stock LG rom but I don't fully understand how to install it, (already readed the Camera Mod thread), I want to use the advanced driver and the 4K video with stock rom.

1- Install "media_profiles.xml".

2- Install "v1.0.0 - Advanced Driver for G2/GPro2-based roms".

3- Finally, install "XCam LG - for G2 using the advanced driver".

Please tell me if i'm doing it wrong, if I need something else or I don't need any of the above, and if any of the packages aren't the best for a rooted stock LG rom to achive the best camera.

[Q]: Not receiving SMS notifications on my VZW G2.

Good morning all, and happy new year!

I've been having an issue with my Verizon G2 that started off fairly minor, but is starting to become a nuisance. About 6 months ago, I would occasionally receive a text message that wouldn't give me any notification (audio or visual). The only way I would know I had a new text is by actually opening the Hangouts app and checking for messages. It happened about once every 250 or so messages. It happened across multiple contacts, so I couldn't find any discernible pattern.

Lately, it seems to be doing it more and more frequently. I'd say about one out of every ten messages results in no notification. And to make it worse, if it happens once with a contact, it will continue to happen with every message they send until I open the Hangouts app and reply to them. I ended up reverting back to stock on the phone (currently on the factory 4.4.2), and it hasn't seemed to make a bit of difference. This started before I got my G Watch, so I don't think that has much (or anything) to do with it, and the watch hasn't appeared to have any impact one way or another. Like on the phone, I'm not getting any notifications to the watch when it happens.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

[MENTION=4047689]Card83[/MENTION]

Thanks! Happy new year for you too!

Did you reverted to stock using the lg flash tool? You tried to clear the cache from messaging app? It happens only with Hangouts?

If you clear cache then it should work, but if dont then reinstall the app. If this problem appear not only with Hangouts, then reflashing the firmware should fix any problem(normal flash)

Look here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51580357&postcount=9

Long story short, its missing the rtcd (root checker tool) files from the KK firmware, and if that files are missing it will automatically show "rooted" in download mode

There are 2 methods to show "unrooted" in download mode:

1) copy the rtc files from jb and put them on kk

2) flash JB and take ota until you are up to date. I used this method but for some reason when i reach v20H i can't boot in download mode:/ (this can be fixed if you press the "upgrade recovery" button from settings menu of LGMobile Support Tool, this is the official LG tool for software upgrade via PC--------- this will fix the download mode but will also reflash the firmware and will cause "rooted" in download mode)

So..i think this problem doesnt show only if you rooted your phone, if you upgrade the software with LGMobile Support Tool it will show rooted in download mode even if you arent rooted and you didnt root your phone EVER

Normally, the guys from LG service should know about this problem and don't count it! But who knows...

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xKadish:
The root process is easy actually. To root, you must download ioroot and run that, but that depends on your stock ROM version. You could try Stump root if ioroot doesn't work. Once you are rooted, download an app from your browser called AutoRec, this unlocks your bootloader and auto installs TWRP, which is what allows you to flash files. Now to get into recovery you can shut off your phone, hold your vol down and power button until the LG logo pops up, let go of those buttons really quickly then quickly hold them down again. This will bring you into the Factory Reset menu, which won't factory reset if you followed my first set of steps, and then just press the power button 3 times. TWRP will open up then you are free to backup, flash, and restore!

Sorry for my kinda harsh answer. That's right. IMHO the description in the Thread isn't that clear. But because you first flash the "advanced" binaries you have to pick the one for using the advanced drivers.
