VS98024A LG G2 Stuck at LG Prompt

I rooted correctly, installed TWRP 2.7 and flashed Paranoid Android (pa_vs980-4.4-20140629) Phone just sits at LG prompt for 30 minutes and does nothing. I can get back into TWRP recovery and restore from backup but would really like to try this rom.

question

Wondering if it is possible to flash ls980zvc to zva?

Seems most ROMs I can find have issues witc zvc, loss of 3g in particular makes it tough to do much with them. Sprint lte is in and out in my area..

I did read in a post here that it works, but wanted to ask. My ls980 came with zvc so I did not do the update myself..

Thanks in advance..

Hi. I'm new here and I already flashed the Lam Hoang( V1.4) rom and now I want to get back to stock. I have TWRP as recovery and was wondering if I can safely use the KDZ method to get back to stock. Thanks for the help :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
There are no simple instructions on how to flash ROM and recovery on d802t because there is no d802t specific develepmont.

That being said, what you need to do is this, and you have to do this in the exact order.

- Download cyanogen 11 and gapps and put them on your SD card.

- download autorec and run the app. This will install custom recovery. Once you are in recovery do not reboot to system until this whole process is complete.

- Back up ROM.

- wipe everything except internal storage

-Install ROM zip

- Install gapps.

- Now reboot system.

I don't own a d802t, this guide was put together by [MENTION=4171261]Mr Majestyk[/MENTION]

Based on your experience level I do not recommend you follow this. Its easy for things to go wrong with this phone model and you have to know how to restore your phone to stock if anything funny happens.

You can use this tool to remove bloatware on your phone. The LG stock ROMs one one the best ones out there.

I hope it didn't confuse you to much, they didn't make it easy for us did they.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
the reason ioroot does not work with the t-mo g2 is because we do not have access to the stock recovery and this is why you guys have to use towelroot or downgrade to 4.2 root and ota making sure to use the survival mode in supersu so that root can survive through ota

hey there, sadly could not find a 12b kdz but you can flash using tot method the 11a tot and then ota to 12b

you did not flash any modem/baseband/radio and also did you full wipe, flash rom+recommended gapps and the wipe dalvik/cache before rebooting

as long as your device shipped with zvc and you are not rooted/do not have custom recovery then yes you can ota to zva without issues

yes you can use kdz method to get back to stock, the back to stock method returns everything on your phone to stock so it does not matter if you are rooted or have custom recovery
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roobs:
So even if the rom uses the Cloudy kernel, I will be able to use KDZ? Waiting for your reply to start :D

Yes all the kdz method needs to work is that the device has got the correct model listed in download mode which will always be correct unless you edit the build.prop

No Download mode & stuck in Boot Loop using TWRP

Good Day. I have the G2 D802 Korean model. It has TWRP 2.6.3.2 loaded & it has no Download Mode after reading about the KDZ Return to Stock methods that need this DL Mode to function. I wanted to try the Download Mode fix done through Fastboot LAF.img but fastboot only stays stuck on "waiting for device" when trying the 1st command in that thread. When plugging in USB cable whilst holding the VOL UP+ button it takes me straight into TWRP. So I've read a few threads & tried the Wipe & flash custom Rom options through ADB push as well as ADB sideload rom zips. I tried so far flashing the CM 10 & CM 11 Roms for the G2 but only 10 loaded & flashed successfully. I've tried also the Carbon KitKat 4.4.2 rom but this one & CM 11 wouldn't push nor sideload even though the respective sites stated it was for the G2. These Roms can't even start up Phone into Normal Operation when doing a Factory Reset Or Wipe Cache & Dalvik as stated to do in some threads. In Device Manager on Windows 7 Intel Core I3 Desktop PC my D802 shows up as "Android Device: Google Galaxy Nexus ADB Interface". What started this whole Problem is that I tried Installing the OTA update but at the sight of TWRP Recovery screen I did a complete wipe of G2.

I have rooted & flashed custom ROMS on my previous HTC Sensation Z710e with complexity but success. I've also rooted & loaded TWRP without the brick device issue in my G2's case. Oh if only I avoided the OTA entirely :(

So to sum it all up:

1- There's no Download Mode for KDZ flash-to-stock to work, nor does DL Mode/ LAF.img fastboot fix work;

2- Some ROM Zips tend to install-&-flash successfully but can't startup my G2.

3- OTA update file is not in the Fota folder to employ this style of fix.

Oh, I do have all neccesary Drivers, Flashtools & other stuff needed as instructed by many of the solutions posted in threads.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. However I should post the Question: "Is there any way out of this Maze that I'm stuck in with my G2?"

[PS] Please forgive any inexperience in my post. This is my very 1st time posting to any Forums online anywhere.

Hi everyone!

I'm here to ask some questions.:confused:

I have a very annoying issue with GPS: it takes about 5-6-7 minutes to fix the signal, and after that every 30 seconds it lose the signal and disconnect. It's terrible during navigation with google maps and any other gps navigator...:crying:

I don't know what to do, so I was wondering about installing Cyanogenmod 11 M8. I have some doubt. I use some online banking apps for example: it's safe to use them on a phone with a custom rom? I'm terrified that maybe might be some way to stole my data with this custom rom... And also the Root or the custom Recvoery. Are all these custom parts safe in that way? My data and my apps and everything it's safe and can't be "stolen"? I'm sorry if I seem paranoic, but I had some bad experiences...

Anyway, if you persuade me to proceed and install CM11 and I don't like it, can I return to the original version LG stock ROM?

Thank you very much for your help! :D

No Download mode & stuck in Boot Loop using TWRP

Hey thanx a million for replying. It's the International version (irremovable extras). I always thought Korean version meant "Made in Korea" as printed on my box :D. I just flashed to CM10 rom again and it has a lot of goodies in the folders when I browse through them with the File Manager via TWRP but still it boots back to TWRP even when I did Factory Reset. Is it perhaps a good thing to try and Flash the LAF.img file to repair download mode option...?

Hey guys.

I was on stock 4.4.2 and had the Spark Update with the Sprint LG G2. I used towelroot and autorec to install TWRP. I had to install the JDI kernal to get rid of the white line problem. I then flashed the following ROM:

by wiping everything but internal storage and then the ROM. The usual method. There are some bugs on this ROM because it's not originally made for CDMA phones. Also under the settings for the phone, it says the baseband is unknown.

I tried flashing to

Without knowing what baseband I'm currently on, what's the best way to flash a ROM intended for the Sprint G2 variant?

Thanks!

Turns out I'm on the KK baseband. I had to learn how to sideload because trying to restore the backup for my previous ROM CloudyG3 didn't work. I have it running CloudyG3 now. Any advice/step by step procedure to switch to a stable LS980 ROM would be appreciated.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
some questions, are you asking if you should overclock/underclock? have you flashed a custom kernel? do you know of the consequences of overclocking? do you know of the side effects of underclocking?

if you want to root and flash custom recovery to install a different rom in hopes of better reacting sensors they there should be no fear in app data being stolen, root is on for system read/write access and the custom recovery is for modifying entire system as a whole for a different look and feel

as long as you keep an eye on what apps are asking for root access it should not be a problem you obviously don't want to grant root access to suspicious apps(lately I have noticed games looking for root access) and also make sure that those apps you use can be used while rooted, a couple of apps that handle that kind of private information(bank info/credit card info/personal info/etc) will sometimes not allow you to use them if you have root access

if you do flash a different rom there are two ways to return to stock the first would be to restore the backup made of stock rom using custom recovery the second is the back to stock method(link in the second post of this thread)

for more info consider taking a look at this thread although not for our g2 it has a lot of basic knowledge which you should learn about

a rom size depends on the maker, aosp roms are literally the bare minimum they usually only have what is needed nothing more and nothing less while an oem(LG/Samsung/Sony/etc) rom is heavily modified in almost every aspect from framework to apps to theming to layout, in my experience of editing the systemui and comparing it with others I noticed one major difference between the nexus 5 and lg g2 and that is the size because the g2 one has more stuff the nexus 5 total size decompiled was 14.7mb while the g2 one was 26.1 there is a difference of about 10mb now add that up on a per app/lib/framework file and the size of the rom will obviously only get bigger

you save the zip file where ever you want on the phone and when you are wiping never wipe internal storage this is where the rom and other stuff is located on the phone

yes that is the appropriate kk modem for the vs980

I need a few details what happens when you try to enter download mode? you most probably still have the ota file on the ota partition(not accessible) and this is why you cannot boot any rom and continue booting back into twrp have you tried the took ota and stuck in twrp link in the second post of this thread if you don't have adb access you can still use the terminal inside twrp

first if you want ls980 specific roms you will want to look here

they all have very specific intructions on how to flash because of the baseband issues and if you want an aosp like rom I need to know what you want to try because the aosp roms are changing and some need the kk baseband(zvc) while others need the jb baseband(zv7/8 sometimes it has to be specific)

if you want to flash pac the steps would be as follows:

-wipe system/data/cache/dalvik

-flash rom

-flash gapps

-flash zv8 radio/baseband

reboot and it should boot

well I am not too knowledgeable when it comes to aosp roms since am not a fan but I do know that for knock on to work the dev needs to add it to the rom/kernel so my first insight is after flashing the rom did you flash another kernel? have you tried flashing another kernel?

I know that dorimanx kernel has ability to control the gpu clock speed but I don't know if it can overclock recommend you take a look at the thread

question have you tried just flashing baseband usually this helps with sensor related issues

as you already know these are system apps and this means that you need root to be able to delete them, if you decide to root you can use app like system app uninstaller from playstore and then uninstall the apps

yep had the thought that was the issue because the both times I soft bricked my g2 was because of the stupid ota forcing itself on me

as for returning to stock just download a d802 firmware that is 16gb and you won't have any problems
