Hi,

Ty for this. Was wondering where to get answers.

I have a lg g2 32gb. Under Misc in storage, System data shows 21.5gb. It was all fine when i first flashed CloudyG2 rom. Later when i flashed it back to stock, this happened. I get only 10gb memory after i flash a rom. Back on Cloudy rom now, still same issue.

Pls let me know if there is a way to get this fixed
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Flashing the proper stock kdz helps a lot. Apparently most files aren't marked with 32gb or 16gb. So you just have to try it out. Make sure you only flash kdz's for your variant.

Notification sounds

Is there a way to flash or even just download the stock Android (nexus?) notification sounds? I went from cm13 to stock and I can't stand the LG options.

You can pull the .ogg files from cm and put them in system/media/audio, where all the notification files go.

Hello Every one )

I just want to share my thoughts about my device with you.

My phone LG G2 D802 had replaced the screen before, when i was trying to change the screen i accidentally cut the wires for the cellular and wifi , i replaced the cellular wire with a hand made one and it work greet but i haven't change the wifi one yet. and i also disabled the proximity sensor.

but since then, my battery drains extremely fast! i've tried every single rom/ kernel combination with no luck.. the maximum battery life i get is around 5 hours ( not STO, whole battery) .. i thought my battery may be faulty, should i order a new one? or there's something else i could try before?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RJC82:
I got a phone from someone that used guide this to flash this CM13 nightly ROM: http://androiding.how/lg-g2-cm13-marshmallow-rom/

Now I have the phone working, but lost custom recovery. If I try to enter it, with Vol + > vol - combo or from MM, I get secure booting error. How can I get a working TWRP again? I can get it in to Download mode too.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've been reading and searching for days, but can't get a clear answer on how to do this.

I don't know if I'm on KK or LP bootloader. Don't know if I have bumped or not bumped TWRP previously flashed. Can anyone help pls?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
If you have a secure boot error, you have most probably the KK bootloader and a non-bumped recovery. You can download the zip from blastagator, extract the recovery.img and flash it with flashify.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RJC82:
Are you 100% sure of that? Read that people using Flashify flashing TWRP on their devices got bricked. Critical errors and stuff.

My guess is youve got a poor network signal that's draining your battery. That's what I figured since you changed the wire. I'm not sure how to help with that, hopefully it fixes itself when you connect the wifi wire.

Flashed xdabbeb 12b_bootstack w/CloudyG2 2.2 installed

I apologize but my display now has three thick white bars from top to bottom where LG logo usually is during boot.

I flashed cloudyG2 2.2 (+kitkat baseband) coming from xdabbeb 3.1.2 (everything went smoothly) but I was unsuccessful in booting so I came up with a really bad idea to trying flashing xdabbeb 12b_bootstack then rebooting back into recovery but my screen just went all white. I powered off and tried a hard reset but I just get a either a completely white screen or three thick white bars in place of the LG logo (during boot).

After looking around a little I assume this is related to JDI/LGIT issue but I have no idea how to proceed since I can't see my screen and would be appreciate any help.

Also, I tried to adb but I'm not showing any devices attached.

Thank you.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Maybe you need to shut it down before trying to enter the recovery. Press and hold the power button 20secs then wait 5 secs and then try the button combo to enter the recovery.

The G2 bootloader is not unlockable. It never was and it will never be. Loki and bump are just ways to bypass it.

You could theoretically do manually what autprec does, but i doubt that will change anything.

Shouldn't soft brick the phone. Recovery should complain about some incompatibility but a reboot will get you back. The only annoying thing is that if your phone is trying to get the update, it may download it over and over and nag you to install it but you can't.

Maybe on other devices it does but it's been a long running problem on the G2.

If you take the ota with a custom recovery you'll get an endless twrp loop and you won't be able to reboot into system until you nuke the fota partition.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
It looks like a log of what happened during the boarddiag process. These errors are coming from the dev_tree.c file which tells us this:

if (msm_id.platform_id != board_platform_id() ||
msm_id.hardware_id != board_hardware_id() ||
msm_id.soc_rev != board_soc_version()) {
dprintf(INFO, "Device tree's msm_id doesn't match the board: <%d %d 0x%x> != <%d %d 0x%x>\n",
msm_id.platform_id,
msm_id.hardware_id,
msm_id.soc_rev,
board_platform_id(),
board_hardware_id(),
board_soc_version());
return false;

Apparently your bootloader is having trouble passing on the correct device tree to your kernel. I don't know how the board diag tool works or what you did to get there, maybe you should try plugging in to a linux VM to see if you can get the partitions mounted and flash them that way. Or hopefully [MENTION=3279781]bender_007[/MENTION] can make better sense of it.

Help me install TWRP

So after a bit of a tricky situation trying to upgrade my LG G2 D800 from CloudyFlex to newer ROM, I nearly bricked my phone, but managed to bring it back to life with the help of these instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

I now have a working D800 again, and managed to root it with no problem. It is now running 4.2.2 (software version D80010o). I am not an AT&T user (I use it on the Rogers network) so I can't get an OTA update. Instead, I understand that I will have to install TWRP to be able to get custom ROMs and bring my phone beyond a 2013 version of Android :)

After Googling around and a few threads here, I've tried Flashify, Rashr, and TWRP Manager to get TWRP on my phone. All of them "seem" to work (and give some kind of "success" message) but when they "reboot into recovery" at the end of the process, I just get an unresponsive blank screen. At that point, holding the power button down for a while, then releasing, then pressing it down for a while again gets the phone back up into normal operational mode, but when I run TWRP Manager I get "Custom recovery not installed or not detected".

So essentially I'm at a point where I can't take that first step to upgrade my phone beyond 4.2.2. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

Use auto rec from the thread in the android dev section, NOT play store, that's an easy way to get twrp on your phone.

AFTER that, use flashify with one of the newer blastigator bumped twrps. Or, you should be able to flash the new one in recovery.

I would suggest loading up a stock 5.0.2 ROM before going to aosp if that's your plan, it will allow rotation and sensors to work properly.

Whoops, its still early in the morning here lol.

The proper version is still from the thread, play store version is for 5.0

The reason I suggested using autorec is because its seamless, I've used it, flashify, and originally when I got this device back in 2013, I manually pushed twrp using adb.

But in the end, either way both work.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_007:
Hm, he has to use loki for sure, not sure what's the point of keeping it alive today and what's the highest twrp he can use in that case.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JHW3:
Thanks to all of you. This discussion is just about at the limits of my comprehension. :|

Point is that I've tried using Flashify both with a recent TWRP ZIP file as well as the last version available as an IMG file and every time I get the same behaviour -- it acts as if the recovery install went correctly, but it seems to reboot to a black screen -- I then have to do a hard shutdown and restart -- and when I do so, TWRP manager says I don't have a recovery installed. So I need to find a way around that.

Eventually I would like to get to a nice stable Lollipop ROM with decent battery life (if such a thing exists) but in the meantime I'm happy to get there in stages, first going to KitKat or whatever. If someone can provide me with a step-by-step to do this I would be grateful. Especially if it doesn't involve trying to install TWRP on 4.2.2 by the methods I've already tried.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawlrus:

The only other way I know of doing it, would be to use the lg tool, tot to KitKat or lollipop, and go from there.

You said flashify didn't work for you, try that link to the auto rec thread. Worse case it does the same crap its doing now, but using a tot or kdz and the lg tool, is going to take much longer.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JHW3:
Thanks. I used the LG tool with the TOT file to get my phone recovered and working again, so I'm somewhat familiar with it, but when I enquired about how I might use it to get to KitKat or Lollipop I was told that it's not possible.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawlrus:
Read the auto rec thread. It should work with 4.4 and 4.2

The auto rec on the play store works with 5.0.

I used it when I got my vs980 as a referb. Its easier to get the root and recovery taken care of while on 4.2 or 4.4 than what it is on 5.0.

That might be why people told you to stray from it.

If the auto rec thread states its on for KitKat, you might have to use the tot again to get on KitKat.
