Hi, I just want to ask if its possible to physically harm my phone by flashing kernels, roms, zips, etc. than can be flashed through FlashTool or Custom Recovery? Because I'm having a problem now regarding my phone, I was running Stock KitKat ROM with manual ROOT then I decided to flash back to Stock JellyBean using FlashTool then after the flashing, my phone got a black screen and random freezes of the screen, and I can't see anything unless I lock the phone and unlock it several times before i can see anything on the screen. Also once the phone booted up, I can only see the LG Logo, i can hear LG Sound and blue/green LED lights, but there is no LG Animation, it's stuck in LG Logo only. :confused:

I don't know what to do and think if it is a problem regarding hardware or software. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hide Quick Shortcuts when swipe from bottom in Homescreen

Hello guys

I am on cloudy pro II 1.2 rom 4.4.2. I can hide my nav bar with g2 xposed but I cant disable the shortcut poping when swiping from bottom of the homescreen which opens a quickaction menu(I dont know the exact name of it) with 3 options

left: voice mate

center: google search

right: quick memo

How can I get rid of this? because I am using GMD auto hide keys as nav bar and the action I want to use for that to trigger it is swipe from bottom as well.

I hope there is a solution to it.

Cheers.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshxdroid:
I used "gravity box" to disable the nav bar and I don't get the "ring menu" popping up. You can also enable pie controls right from gravity box, but I installed LMT because it's far more customizable. I'm running stock, so your experience might be different, but I think it should work. I noticed on "g2 xposed" the option is just shrinking the nav bar down, where on "gravity box" it's an enable checkbox.

CDC Serial / LGE AndroidNet USB Modem drivers

I'm curious if this is even an issue however after installing the Unified LG drivers for my D803 I get a driver install error if I boot the phone into download mode (see attached picture). It searches for a driver for "CDC serial USB" and eventually fails to install the "LGE AndroidNet USB Modem". All other drivers install fine (LG Software, MTP, PTP, and tethering) and I even have windows update looking for drivers as well.

Does this install error even matter? I'm curious since I've been having issues reverting to my stock OS using the Go Back to stock for the LG G2 thread and I'm trying to nail down what the core issue is.

LG G2 d802 booting to twrp

Hello from india

I have a twrp 2.6.3.0 installed d802 G2 and I accidently wiped my internal sd card so my device only boot to twrp not OS.

I tried to mount but I can only find exclamation mark on device manager which means I cannot use adb, fastboot, adb sideload, flash recovery what so ever..

I've been searching xda forum for about 10 hours and still get no results. I formatted, wiped, factory resetted, tried to install superSU(but won't work)

I think i've tried basically everything I can try.

Can't get into download mode also,,

pushed volume up button and plugged usb -> boot to twrp

pushed volume down button and plugged usb -> boot to twrp

pushed both volume buttons and plugged usb -> boot to twrp

It gets me crazy and still stuck on here.. I think my phone is real bricked..

any suggestions?

Sprint G2 back to stock with sideload

Hi all!

I got impatient waiting for the kitkat OTA, so I attempted to flash the Sprint 4.4.2 OTA (ZVC/ZVB) using adb sideload onto my completely stock, unrooted Sprint LG G2. Everything seemed to work with that, except when I rebooted the phone, it went into a boot loop. I can get into recovery mode, so I tried wiping data/cache, then when that didn't work, I tried reflashing the same file. I downloaded the file from google (http://android.clients.google.com/p...79910f732c.LS980ZVA_01-LS980ZVC_12_update.zip). I'm trying to download it again to see if I just had a bad download.

Assuming that doesn't work, I'd like to go back to stock and just wait for the OTA to be pushed to me. I have seen the method with LG updater (from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432476_), but I don't have access to a Windows computer at the moment (linux only), so the easiest way for me is if there were a .zip that I could use adb sideload to push. Is that possible? If not, is there another method I can use on Linux? Can I convert that .tot file to a .img/.zip file that I could flash? I have a Windows computer that I can get to, but it would mean being without my phone for 24 hours. I can live with that if it's my only option, but I figured it was worth asking after Google failed me.

I'm happy to add any further information needed. Thanks!

EDIT: I redownloaded the OTA from google, and tried reflashing it. Same problem.

Kernel Flash

Thanks for the prompt reply my friend. I just restored from my nandroid backup and works fine with the stock kernel and I'm happy tho I just wanted to push further into the pits of modification to adjust to the potential of the droid as apposesed to the previous fruit I owned. I just saw both threads state they where compatible with PA 4+ running 4.4.2. No one else seems to have my issue so I was wondering if you know the procedure of flashing the kernel in the scenario I'm doing it incorrectly? Thanks heaps for your input.

Edit: Since no one offered much of a solution i played around and figured out the latest OTA was the issue. version pa_d802-4.2-BETA3-20140403a with dr87 's kernel worked fine but once i upgraded PA via OTA to version pa_d802-4.2-BETA3-20140406 and flashed the kernel it gets stuck at the LG Logo. So lesson learned today, for the time being stay on previous version at an overclocked cpu running 2.8ghz until the beta is released and working with it! thanks anyway!

Custom Rom

Hello I have a very noobish question. I just got the Lg g2 not because it was cheaper but because i refuse to go on 5.5 screens.

I have a question about custom roms for example the new famous Cloudy one. If i install it in my device will i be able to still get smooth updates from the update section of my device or i would have to wipe and do the geeking staff all the time?

I dont want to mess a lot with my phone but i want to do the basic to optimize the performance and battery life. Also would i keep the stock features from G2 like the camera?

please advice thanks
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
nope now lets move on to explanation:

if you are using a modified rom and try to ota and succeed you will most likely bootloop or brick because it will most likely download update for the rom not your device and if you are on ported rom like flex/g pro/g3 than that is asking for brick because they need to be ported while the stock roms are modified and custom recovery cause soft brick with ota system

there is a way for devs to implement an ota system into there roms but for roms like the ones cloudy offers or are stock/flex/g pro based tend to be files bigger than 1gb they would need to create a special server so that app can download from and chances of corrupted download are higher on mobile than on pc and almost always it is recommended to clean wipe before install; usually the only roms to implement ota system are aosp/cm/aokp/pa all the pure android experience roms because they tend to be small files no larger than 500mb and can usually be dirty flashed

if you decide to remain on lg based roms then you will find that battery life/performance are very good and you can enjoy the features offered by lg(camera/quickremote/quickmemo/wireless storage/etc) but if you take the aosp path than you will be loosing the lg based features and I here that battery life is not as great as when on stock(which I fo=ind odd because usually aosp roms have better battery life than stock)

Hello all!

Recently traded my Nexus 4 for a LG G2 international version (802) and I have a couple of questions.

A) Is there a bootloader to be unlocked on the G2? If so, how?

B) TWRP works the same way as on any other device? The images we flash are .zip or something else?

C) Is there a fully working Google Play Edition? I'm not a fan of LG UI and nor I care about the features it brings.

Thanks all!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
with me smart screen worked fine in well lit areas, and smart video I think only worked with stock lg video app; I am on cloudyg3 and smart video is not available to check and make sure

so far all the g3 roms I have used are stable, everything works on my d800, d802 should also have no problems but I know that vs980/ls980 have bugs on these roms

1)yes it has a bootloader and it is locked, we have no way of unlocking it for now and what we do is we use loki to make phone think it is unlocked bootloader and flash roms/kernels with ease

2)twrp is the same on all devices and everything created for flashing has to be in .zip format or else it would not work

3)there was one nexus like rom a while back but support was dropped and so rom died because things were not fixed, if you want android experience than look into cm/aokp/pa/aosp based roms, I know that Mahdi rom is supposed to be really good for aosp users

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
well ioroot does not brick devices the only thing that can go wrong is that your device does not get rooted because you use an old version and autorec can only brick a device if you use the wrong version, it has a specific app for each variant so you just need to make sure to use correct one; lots of the bricked device threads are people who did not read enough and tried things that worked with there previous devices like flashify and kk on g2 equals brick, freegee on specific software of g2 jb and all g2 on kk equals doesn't work or brick, people flash rom not for there device soft brick, flashing wrong kernel equals fastboot, ota with custom recovery equals soft brick, etc; as long as you do your research first there is nothing to be scared off
