Did you try flashing it anyway? If it doesn't work it doesn't work, just make a backup. A tar file is like a zip but it doesn't compress the files, and I've never seen a ROM come that way.

To make a zip just unpack the tar and compress the contents of it with 7zip.

Download Syslog from the play store. Reboot your phone then try to open accessibility and take a log straight away. Post the log here so we can see what's going on.

In any event I think reflashing the Rom is the only answer. But whatever, lets have a better look.

CyanogenMod update

Hello everyone,

I have already posted my queries on a new thread but I have just noticed this thread; so my query is: here or you can read the text:

"Hello all,

I had rooted my LG G2 (D802), flashed my Factory reset to TWRP v2.8.4.0, and installed CyanogenMod12 nightly but when I have used the CM OTA update the first time, my phone wouldn't start so I needed to run the "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota" command through TWRP terminal.

Since then I'm flashing my updates over the current CM12 nightly along with the Google Apps for the current OS; I may also need to clear the Dalvik/Cache via the recovery manager for things to work properly. I have flashed the OS without the Google Apps once but everything was crashing as the system optimized all apps. Luckily I'm not losing any data when I flash both zips (CM12 & Gapps for 5.0.1)

my queries are:

1) Am I doing my upgrades correctly or someone up there loves me?

2) Is there another way to upgrade my CM12 OS without booting in TWRP, clearing Dalvik/Cache, flashing the new OS over the current along with the Google Apps?

3) What if I need to downgrade one nightly; will it remove any data or crash the system?

4) can I somehow get the LG apps for CM12? Some of them are really useful

5) Isn't CM12 prerooted? mine is not..!

it's not that I haven't searched online for the solutions but I couldn't find anything related for the matters

thanks! "

[MENTION=3278333]S.Constantinou[/MENTION]

What are you doing it's called dirty flash, it may work without problems but sometimes you may face problems because you don't wipe system partition. The best way to keep your apps when you update to latest version of CM is to wipe dalvik cache, cache, system (NOT DATA, NOT INTERNAL STORAGE) and then flash the ROM, gapps(optional), kernel (optional), supersu(optional) and wipe again dalvik cache and cache. Or you can wipe dalvik cache and cache only at the end. The same steps you need to follow if you want to downgrade.

There isn't any other way to upgrade CM, flashing from custom recovery is the only option.

I don't know if there are LG apps available for CM12, except for IR blaster app I think it was ported by somebody for cm12.

CM12 is rooted, you can enable the root manager from Developer options -> root acces, BUT I prefer SuperSU because it's more advanced.

To enable Developer options just go to "About phone" and tap multiple times on "Build number".

---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------

Will going back to stock using the kdz/tot method delete my data? Or is it like flashing a ROM?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raulx222:
It depends, if you are on stock you can use lg flash tool to normal flash (you will not lose your apps) or you can do CSE flash (it will erase all your data, even internal storage!). If you have problems after normal flash, try CSE.

Maybe you installed some bugged app which fills your phones memory. More info needed: which ROM you use, or if you are stock then you have root and custom recovery? You can try a factory reset maybe you will get rid of that problem, or maybe you will have to change the ROM.

Also what is your G2's cache normally at? And when was the last time you cleared it? I want a point of reference so I know where mine should be.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raulx222:
Uhm..right now mine is ~430MB, but I clear it often because I'm flashing almost every day the latest CM12 nightly. Anyway something it's not working well if you have 10gb of cache. Are you sure it's not from a app that you installed?

If you can't fix it by factory reset then flashing stock firmware should fix the problem.

EDIT: Sorry, my bad, you are talking about apps cache right?(that cache which is shown in Settings -> Storage) I'm not wiping that very often, and it's still 430MB

I'm wiping just the system cache, and that is very tiny almost empty for me because I wipe it often.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Horizanzz:
Alright thanks. I'm keeping an eye on my apps cache, it hasn't gotten too big since I last cleared the 10gb, perhaps it was an app, (I've uninstalled most of my root related apps then reinstalled them slowly) so far it floats around 200mb now. I think you were right :)

Frozen Firmware Update in Download mode

Hi Guys!

I have a LG G2 D805. Last night I rooted it and installed TWRP but I have had the following problem even before this process. When I enter to Download mode the page stuck on 0% of Firmware Update. Already restarted cellphone for many times without any problem but still I have this issue when I enter in download mode.

Regards
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raulx222:
I assume you have some knowledge about how to use custom recovery :D

Fristly, keep in mind that you lose your warranty if you root/install custom ROMs.

First step: check what G2 model you have and keep in mind to use tools/kernels/ROMs only for your G2 model. And before starting the root process check if your phone is updated to KK, you need to be on KK.

On the first page of this thread you can find all useful tools, just look at the second post at "Root and Recovery". For root use IOroot or TowelRoot then use Autorec to install custom recovery (TWRP), then download latest TWRP with thermal control and flash it. And that's all, now you have root and a custom recovery.

If you want to flash CloudyG2 just follow the installation instructions:

That's all, ask me if you are uncertain about something.

Uhm.. It's normal for it to stay at 0% if you are just connecting the phone to pc. Only if you flash the firmware then the percent will increase.

If you aren't flashing then there's no problem if you turn off your device while it is in download mode.

Hi

Compared to my previously owned iPhone 4 GPS reception on the D802 is weak. A bike tour in a forest today recorded with My Tracks: total time 29:15, moving time 08:08. So most of the track was not recorded because of no GPS signal.

Hello guys.

My wife decided to go with an iPhone, so I ended up keeping her G2 (T-mo D801 variant). I initially rooted it for her and had a custom recovery loaded (while she was on 4.2.2). She took OTA to 4.4.2 which removed the root access (but left the SuperSU apk with no binaries - unable to open) and I am unable to unroot from within an app or re-root using stump (error: device is already rooted). I am sure the recovery got replaced with stock as I only see the LG factory reset settings white screen with data wipe and not TWRP. Is there an easy way for me to re-root and reflash the recovery (tried the AutoRec which couldn't install loki_tool). Or my only option is to reflash stock or downgrade? I am ok with clean system wipe as I plan on loading GloudyG2 just hoping to keep the storage content if possible. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks.

Try IOroot or Towelroot.. but I'm not sure if they will work.

Use LG Flash Tool to flash your firmware. In LG Flash Tool use normal flash, it will not erase your apps or internal storage. And after flash you should be able to re-root.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raulx222:
I don't think so.. rooting process does modifications in system files and system files are unchanged after factory reset. But I'm not 100% sure, you could try factory reset to see if your problem it's fixed. But LG Flash Tool should have a higher chance to fix your problem and you will not lose your apps.

I have the VS980 model, I just got mine new last month, I am on 4.4.2 and by what I could find online my phone was not root-able with the typical rooting method everyone was using, but what I did find was a thing call Stumproot, it rooted my phone with an app, just install it and then I think there's a button that says "make it ra1n" and that reboots your phone, then when it's booted up, you'll be rooted, just download super su from the playstore right after, and root checker to see if you really are rooted. If you have the vs980 like me, I don't think you can get the cloudy rom because that requires a custom recovery to flash it with, and on the vs980, you can't get a custom recovery without either A: having a high risk of bricking it, or B: going through a very long and complicated process which involves going back to JellyBean, and then rooting to get cloudy rom and such.
