You wrote about a different guide. If you make a full backup with twrp and copy this one, an extraordinary backup of the efs partition shouldn't be neccessary anymore.

Have you installed any app, downloaded files, opened email-attachments?

If you are on stock, rooted and twrp (twrp and root not neccessary, but recommended), have a look at [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's XCam.

Don't know what you mean by bump... If you mean e new Recovery version, just flash it over the old recovery. ;)

Noob, question - TMO LGG2 WiFi Calling missing

Hello all, first time caller ;) I've just spent a couple of hours reading, searching and in general chasing wild geese. Maybe because I am not familiar with this forum layout or what, I just can't seem to find any topics *directly* related to my issue.

Preamble: I just picked up a used T-MO LGG2 off of ebay. Came unlocked and rooted. I just signed up with TMO as a first time customer. Phone activated and I''m off and running.

I've had Verizon for the last 10 years (or more) and work from home, so 95% of my calling and data is from my office. So I am familiar with the data speeds and connection. (reliable 4glte with vzw)

But now with my LGG2 and TMO, my connections, data speed, call quality SUCK. Phone is always searching for signal, lucky if I ever get a 4G connection.

Note: My data and connections are GREAT when I am not in or around my house, so it's something specific to my location I guess.

I called tmo support and they were sypathetic to my issues, they opened a ticket with engineering. So in the mean time they decided to send me a hotspot(?) router for me to use the WiFi calling feature of my phone.

Well.... argh. There is no wifi calling option in my phone. I know where it is -supposed- to be located as my wife has a LGG2 phone and hers has it. That is when I discovered that my phone was flashed with Lightning v4.0 ROM. Everything I needed from the phone seems like it does what it's supposed to do - except the wifi calling!

So here is where I am asking for advise - from a few angles.

Should I:

1) Search for a .wificalling apk?

2) re-flash with another or updated rom?

3) re-flash back to stock rom?

4) maybe the missing wifi calling is not even related to the lightning rom?

5) Or.....?

Maybe I am missing the obvious. Wouldn't be the first time :cool:

I'd rather not have to reflash a rom, it looks daunting. I am comfortable rooting and have done it several times on other devices as well as my wifes G2..

Are you really sure it's a T-Mobile one. If it's flashed it's probably not. [MENTION=5644061]Art Vanderlay[/MENTION] knows a bit more about that. He can probably tell you what's the trick. The point is: Highly likely your phone has been flashed to unlock it to other carriers than sprint.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
You can back up your radio by running these commands in the terminal emulator

su

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem of=/sdcard/modem.img

You'll get a modem dump in your sd card.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Loki is afaik a patch that uses an exploit to modify the bootloader.

bootstack is a part of the system (under the hood thing)

ïf you are rooted use autorec. 24x (x can be any letter) bootloader is hard to unlock, so autorec will automatically downgrade to 12x, unlock and install twrp.

about the link. If I'm not wrong, neither nor. The bootstack is part of the system afaik. It's actually just the newest and slightly tweaked.

But since I'm not a developer, guys can explain a lot more about that...

hey guys need help. bought a G2 (verizon) off ebay for a family member. guy didnt tell me that it was NOT stock.

came to me with clockworkmod 6.0.4.4. i ADB'd a version of CM11 and the gapps. installed the zip and when i go to reboot system it just keeps rebooting right back into recovery?

not sure what the heck is going on. wanted to know what i can do? I dont really want to revert it to stock because my loves STOCK AOSP anyways so would like to know how can i go about fixing this. personally i hate clockwork i like using twrp and im not sure how to flash a recovery. Im not sure how to get into download mode on this phone i just can get it to boot into recovery.

If you can adb push files, try to adb push a recovery zip from this thread http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705 . make sure to find correct version specifik for that phone. If you have cwm installed, you'd be able to install the twrp .zip using cwm. That way you might possibly be able to get twrp on the phone. from there on it should be straight forward to just adb push rom + gapps.. or lg g2 stock rom... whatever you might prefer.

In trouble

Hey guys, i have a big issue.

earlier today I tried to install CM12 on my stock Kitkat 4.4.2 LG G2. Everything went fine, I succesfully rooted my device, I installed TWRP recovery latest version, I backed up the EFS folder & followed all the rest of the steps.

Once I've got to the step in which you wipe the data of your phone, I checked everything (including internal storage because I already did a factory reset before even deciding on rooting, installing CM12 and everything). When that happened I realized that I actually deleted the entire sdcard memory which also contained the CM12.zip file itself along with the EFS backup folder. Then I tried to reboot the device which got me into the boot screen of LG with the logo, the led keeps on switching colors yet I can't do anything. Download mode isn't available, I can't access the recovery, I can't shut down the device. The only thing I have noticed is that the pc still recognizes that the device has been plugged in (it makes a plugging sound) but the device doesn't appear in "my computer".

I tried to follow the TWRP command which is dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota but cmd says " 'dd' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".

I also read that flashing kitkat stock rom for my device using kdz might help so I followed this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 but after I started the procedure, I assumed it failed, I got a "restart" button twice which led eventually to an "exit" button (from the lg software) and then windows said that the program has stopped working and I ended it.

Anyone has any sort of idea what I can try to exit this situation?

My device is D80220B_00 16gb by the way.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D80220B:
First of all, thanks for you help.

Now, I found the post and I assume you meant I should go over this specific part of the post: "[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. "

But there is a problem, I can't access the recovery at all.

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ----------

Alright, I finally managed to access the recovery after all (all I had to do was to hold the power button for about 20 seconds, and then hit the recovery buttons just like it should be).

Now what should I do? Because I read in the 2nd post of the thread that for the ADB to work I must have USB debugging enabled (which was enabled before I bricked the device), will it still work?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
go into recovery, connect your phone and type "adb devices" if a number shows up everythin is fine. (you have to run the command line in the same directory as the adb fikes are, should be described in the post)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D80220B:
I followed the ADB instructions, got it to be ADB ready.

I did what you just said in cmd and a long number did come up like you said.

When I plugged the device while in recovery the device even showed up in the pc! the only thing is that the internal storage of the device is completely empty except for a TWRP folder which contains one file, I assume this is the reason why the phone can't go pass the boot screen.

Now, this means I need to install a rom.zip file through the recovery like you posted a while ago, correct? If so, should it be a stock rom, or is it possible to flash CM12 right away?

By the way, when it comes to kitkat stock rom, is D80220B the same as D80220A? I mean if I need a rom.zip file I must convert it to zip from kdz correct? so the kdz can be either D80220A or D80220B when it comes to kitkat? (the build number of my device was D80220B).

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
You can flash any flashable zip by the "adb sideload <name>.zip" command. the fike will be copied to your phone and immediately flashed. so make sure you have got the right flashing order: baseband, rom and then gapps.

What ROM were you on? stock? kitkat? if yes, you have to sideload the JB baseband (you should be able to find it on your own (google).

But kdz are only flashable with the back to stock method and the lg flashtool.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D80220B:
I was using a stock kitkat 4.4.2 .

I found the big modem (baseband) thread with the links in XDA but none of the models was D80220B and none of the baseband versions was identical to mine (they all were M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190036 while the last digits on mine are 84).

I managed to copy and flash the jelly bean baseband for my device.

Now I'm facing a new problem: I want to flash CM12 through adb sideload, whenever I go to ADB Sideload in TWRP and slide it over for adb to start the computer no longer recognizes the phone (it disappears from device manager and the drive in my computer disappears, also when I try the "adb devices" command it suddenly doesn't show the device). However, whenever the device is connected to the pc in recovery mode yet not in the adb procces, the device does show up and the "adb devices" command does show the number of the device.

I tried to update the usb_driver for the device, it didn't help and for some reason whenever I try to copy a file such as the CM12.zip which is about 250mb to the G2's internal storage, I get an error saying that the file can't be copied because it's bigger than the limitation of the device, although it clearly says I have 10.4GB free out of 10.7GB .

Any thoughts?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
just copy won't work. But you could try "adb push <name>.zip" instead of sideload. you only have to be in recovery this way and not in sideload-mode. (just boot in recovery, and type the command). But you have to flash manually afterwards in twrp (and twrp 2.7.1.1 wouldn't accept the push command, that's why I recommend the sideload function). Hopefully this works.

I did some reading online and did decide to try the push command which worked and copied the rom.zip file to te device. Regarding the radio i didnt do anything beyond the copy and flash but since everything is working fine i guess i dodged a bullet there. Should i use adb to reflash it just in case?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
No need for ADB. Is autorotation Working? If yes, you've got the right radio. You can flash the baseband in recovery like everything else. (ROMs do not provide a Baseband. The Baseband can be flashed at any time and survives a full wipe.)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D80220B:
Auto rotation works in apps and settings (notifications area too), it does not work when I'm in the app drawer or the home screen. So this means I did get the correct baseband and it is fully functioning?

Basically just a general question: If one can at any given point flash a baseband, then there is no actual need to do so before flashing the rom, correct?

Yeah. If auto-rotation wouldn't work at all, you would have got the wrong baseband. but if it works in apps that support autorotation everything is fine.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D80220B:
I believe you don't need to wipe internal storage, at least not based on youtube guides I've watched. Also, that was my mistake when going through the proccess yesterday, I wiped my internal storage and then I got a soft brick. Either way, you can use ADB sideload or ADB push command to flash as well (in case you do wipe internal storage), I personally used the ADB push command which then got the rom.zip file to my device and then all I had to do was flash through the recovery.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
You're welcome. ;) If you want to "help" the helpers, hit the thanks button. ;)

Yeah, you can do both: wipe everything except Internal storage, flash rom, flash gapps. All your data will be gone (appdata & apps). You have to set up everything new then. That's called a clean flash. If you want to dirty flash, wipe nothing, just flash the Updated rom and reboot. Your settings and data are still there. But clean flash is always the better way, because dirty-flashing can cause issues.

wipe everything exept internal storage. Your rom won't be gone.
