Now I got you^^ The only app, which allows rooting on the go is towelroot. Theoretically ir should be doable to run rooting scrips in a terminal emulator, but that will probably not work becaues of any issue..

I think stweaks says it worked, but it doesn't really. It most probably depends on the kernel. Tty out an different kernel...

The IMEI usually doesn't lie. But do, as [MENTION=5644061]Art Vanderlay[/MENTION] said. ;)

Hi everyone. I'm new to the G2(came from the Nexus 4, now have a VS980 on T-Mobile). I've seen two words a lot since I've been browsing the G2 threads: BUMP and Loki. What do these words refer to? I've seen BUMP'ed kernels and Loki'd zips?

Also, is it possible to flash a T-Mobile specific ROM to the VS980? Or would a GSM ROM have to be ported and made to work with the VS980?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Those are just two exploits that are used to mod our G2, since it's impossible to unlock the bootloader. Bump works for JB and KK bootloader, loki only for JB.

Has to be ported first.

Knock on

As the title suggests, my Knock On isn't working. It was working before I did these things:

1. Root using ioroot.

2. Use AutoRec.

3. ???

4. Bricked phone.

5. Restored phone to stock with LG PC Suite (I believe it automatically downloads the right version for your IMEI, in my case D80220c-AME-XX).

I've tried all the solutions I could find; the calibration of the motion sensor, going into the hidden menu, enabling/disabling the option, rebooting/recovering the phone. Nothing worked. Since the function stopped working before I used AutoRec, could it be possible that there is something wrong with the kernel, even after using the recovery option in the PC Suite?

I have actually backed up my aboot.img before I used AutoRec. I'm not sure whether I should try to flash that back onto the phone (with dd command). Is it worth trying, or would it definitely brick my phone again?

Thanks in advance!

Weird thing. In your case I'b back everything up and then go with kdz to stock. Then do the CST (or however. I mean the one which erases everything) flash. It might be the issue, that you had a normal flash and something is still present after the recovery-session you did...For kdz back to stock (doesn't matter if you already are on stock) guide link have a look at the second post of this thread.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, kdz cst flash doesn't fix the problem :(.

Issue after Stumproot and Autorec

Hey there,

Just rooted my stock VS980 (4.4.2, 3.4.0-perf, VS98027A) using Stumproot and Autorec. I didn't know to back it up prior to autorec so I proceeded to create a nandroid backup through TWRP after installing autorec. I also cleared lots of memory by transferring pics etc. I now have an issue where almost everytime I try to wake the phone using knock-on it freezes and reboots.

Is this related to autorec? How can I fix it?

WiFi trouble

Hey I have had an LG G2 for 10 months now and up till December/January my phone was working fine. (except for the quiet mode bug that apparently everyone has on their G2) Anyway my issue with WiFi is as follows:

- My phone randomly disables the WiFi network I try to connect to.

- Not all wireless networks are detected in the built in WiFi settings (3rd party apps detect them; hard reset fixed this problem.)

At home I don't have any problems but in university we have 3 different SSID networks, two of which are open and one is hidden with WPA2 security. Of course there are dozens of access points to cover the whole campus so the phone should automatically jump to the closest one but sometimes when I'm moving around campus it just disconnects and it even disables the network I'm connected to. At first I thought the access points were the problem but I asked several people and they all said WiFi was working fine for them. I checked with both iPhone and Android people but none of them had a G2, and I looked online for people with a similar problem but no one has posted about this issue. I hope someone out there has a solution.

Someone suggested that I download an app to show hidden SSID but my home network is hidden and I never had any trouble with it in that regards.

I don't know if the type of router/access point is relevant and the problem is merely a compatibility issue, but the ones I'm having trouble with in university are all Cisco, while the one I use at home is Huawei.

I haven't played around with Rom/root etc so it's still the way it was when it left the store.

Model: LG-D802

Android: 4.4.2
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
First: OMG and Thank you! Extensive post, all necessary details provided and a well described problem. Thanks a lot for this!

First something very simple: Have you rebooted twice or so? This solves quite many problems.

There may be a few things you could try out. If you go into advanced settings, make sure, you unchecked "avoid poor connection". Second you could try to set the band manually. Set it to 2.4gHz (or 5gHz, depends on what you use at university/home) and look if that helps.

Have you received a systemupdate lately? How long does your problem persist? And what version of the playservices is installed on your device? The build number would be nice to know (you can find it in the same submenu as Androidversion).

Finally if nothing helps, you could reflash the stock firmware, using the back-to-stock-kdz method. (see second post of this thread).

I hope I could help. ;)

Hi guys,

Please help.

I have bought a used LG G2 D802 (rooted cloudy g3 2.0) last year I have been searching for the solution to my LTE issue. Like other I don't get the LTE option from the preferred network mode option. I tried 3845#*802# and it doesn't work. I am trying to delete lteconfigs.apk but it is not allowed to be deleted from either the device or PC.

Use for example the ES file explorer and activate the root functionality. Then do mount as R/W and set all partitions to R/W. Then you should be able to delete it.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
There are 2 solutions to this problem.

Solution 1 (recommended):

Download build.prop editor .

Open build.prop editor and search for ro.build.target_country.

Change the value from COM to your countries alpha 2 code.

Judging by your original post, you are from the Philippines correct? In that case, you need to make ro.build.target_country=PH.

Once changed, reboot your phone and check your network mode options, LTE should now be present.

For a list of all assigned country codes, visit:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2#Officially_assigned_code_elements

Solution 2:

If you can't delete lteconfigs.apk from /system it's because /system is mounted as Read-Only, you must change it to Read-Write.

Run the following command via terminal.

mount -o rw,remount /system

Once successfully running that command, you should now be able to freely remove items from /system.

Once you are done making changes, you should remount /system with the original read-only permissions:

mount -o ro,remount /system

Done.

is it better to wait until a way to root the phone has been discovered?

just want to make sure that i dont update and have a phone without root and no way to get back to where i was.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
Make sure next time you 'quote' my post as I won't be notified that you ever replied to me :), and I can't guarantee I'll always check back up on the unquoted replies even though I do my best.

TWRP has a Terminal Command option as well giving you full access to a shell (the following could easily be done through an adb shell as well for easier readability since some of the output can be pretty long and word wrapped).

Once in the shell, plug in your OTG Cable and type dmesg and press enter.

The OTG USB should show up as something like /dev/block/sda1 or something like that.

You can unplug your OTG Cable and do another dmesg and search for what is now missing to confirm.

Once your USB's device location is confirmed you can now manually mount your OTG Cable via a typical mount command in a UNIX environment, something like mount -o rw /dev/block/sda1 /sdcard/usb should create a symlink in /sdcard/usb/.

From there you can simply do a mv /sdcard/usb/ROM.zip /sdcard/Download/. Then install your ROM as normal.

The above method is just a manual way of mounting your OTG, instead of using TWRP's MOUNT > OTG option.

Updating to Lollipop will change your partitions. Whether it's safe to update is relative based on your current G2's state.

If you have modified your G2 at all (be it rooted, themed, etc.) it is highly recommended to back up your data, then return to stock 4.4.2 KitKat to lose root and make sure the integrity of your partitions are okay. Once you're back on unmodified Stock KitKat, then proceed to update to Lollipop. This may seem like a paranoid option but it's the most SAFE way to do it. Upgrading officially to Lollipop WILL cause you to lose root and custom recovery as it replaces your partitions.

My personal recommendation is to wait a month or two (I KNOW, ITS HARD!) and let all the bugs be fixed before updating. Lollipop may be all bright, shiny and attractive but waiting a couple of months before updating will easily prevent initial problems on release and let the LG G2 Development Team work on something AMAZING for the community. Just remember, it's only a firmware on a phone.. nothing to be overly excited about ;)

Thanks for this wonderful topic.

I have one question... I installed SimpleROM 1.1 (which is compiled from stock Lollipop). Now I wish to install Blisspop/CM12 except there's a problem. Blisspop once installed is stuck on the LG screen. I suspect this is due to the fact that the bootloader is not JB? I tried to do a restore by TWRP to stock 4.4.2 but once it was done, I got the "boot certificate error" and it wouldn't go any further. I still have access to TWRP and trying a few things but just thought I'd post it here.

P.S. I had run Autorec when on stock KK after which I had installed TWRP; and then the Simplerom (LL) so am I still on the JB boot loader since that is what Autorec does?

I also want to know why do the CM12/Blisspop require JB bootloader? Why haven't they upgraded that part yet to say KK or LL?

Update 1:

I went back to the TWRP backup of Simplerom that I had made and then installed Autorec; rebooted into recovery, installed Blisspop and it is now booting into BlissPop; although taking a long time, still seeing BlissPop logo and its been a few minutes now.
