[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
autorec for lollipop -> playstore. your bootloader will be downgraded to KK and a patched kernel will be flashed. Having TWRP with proper LP setup is not possible atm.

KDZ flash? Perform a CSE flash again.

uninstall all updates of the play services and let the device upgrade them itself then. Sorry I couldn't help.

If you provide some more details, I'm maybe gonna help.

Messing around with basebands of 2 different variants and trying to merge them never is a good idea. 4G definitely won't work. Not sure about 3G. Edge definitely should work flawlessly. Maybe you have to enter the APN settings manually.

Edit: if the signal is falling out from time to time, it is a baseband issue. You could try out different basebands (for your version ofc).

Can you tell me how your phone booted this way ? While trying to flash a recovery i guess ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talha1388:
I happened due to wrong flashing of firmware.. I diddnt knew the current model. I had another g2 which m using. That also went to fastboot mode but on that all partitions were flashed without any hasstle
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soufiansky:
Don't worry , i had the exact same issue while flashing a recovery. Follow this steps carefully and your phone will back to life.

1.Plug your phone to your pc.

2. Go to device manager and look for LGE android phone.

3. Open propreties and look for pilots.

4. Choose install pilots already on my computer. It will gave you all the drivers installed.

5. You should find " ADB interface "

6. Click on it and install. Wait for pilots to install and your phone to get recognized.

7. Then open command on adb

8. Erase recovery

9. Erase laf

10. Download laf.img for your phone model ( to get back download mode )

11. Put the .img on adb folder

12. Then install laf ( as command on adb )

13. Power off your phone.

14. Then plug it on download mode.

15. Download a firmware and flash it with lg flashtool.

I hope it detects my phone as lge android. Because i dont think it would do so. Should i connect it to pc as fastboot mode ??because fastboot appears only when i put it on download mode. If i boot it normally it gets stuck on lg logo with notification light changing color from green to blue

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soufiansky:
You said it give you LS980 ? Right ? Which is the Sprint variant. Do you have any Sprint logo or sprint app on your phone ?

Edit :Nevermind ,i found a very easy way. Turn your phone to it's back , look down , where "G2" is written , look for the variant on the small informations.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AboGhoosh:
yes it says ls980 and no the phone back is clean and at the bottom it says d802
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soufiansky:
I edited my message.

If it says D802 at the bottom , in the informations next to " Designed by LG"and the rest so it's surely a D802. You should give it back to the shop and change your device.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AboGhoosh:
i cant give it back , do u advice installing a d802 rom ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soufiansky:
Well. Are you 100% sure on the phones back it's written D802 ? I don't want to tell you something before we get entirely sure it's a D802 to avoid any risks.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AboGhoosh:
the back looks exactly like this

http://thegioithietbiso.vn/uploads/gallerys/45410900aece56c379e97b46bc3c1697.jpg

below the logo it says LG-D802 | FCC ID : ZNFD802 , and below it : MADE IN KOREA ( exactly like the photo )
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soufiansky:
So it's a D802 ( International Version ).

Just follow the steps on this thread and everything will be okay. Download the firmware for your variant , if you have a 16GB D802 take the 16g one ,if not choose 32GB.

I doubt it is a D802!!!!

The back cover is extremely easy to replace. And because the D802 variant is way more worthy (since it's the international one), many ebay fakers change the backcover and flash a stock based custom rom so that it looks like a D802!!!!

The only way to find out what version it really is, is to open the backcover and look what is written on the motherboard inside the phone!

Don't flash anything until you definitely know and this at a 100% what variant you got!!!!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soufiansky:

Your phone is messed up mate so i don't know what kind of shop is this but even with no warranty , you paid for it and you didn't use it for a long time.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soufiansky:

[MENTION=6731340]AboGhoosh[/MENTION] Sure. But it basically has nothing to do with warranty. He basically simply tricked you no matter if he knew or not. Anyways. Have you removed the black plastic backcover? This is hopefully enough. As long you have a bootloader don't worry. So you could try to flash a vs980 rom&kernel and try if it works.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dredq:
You can determine if it is JB or KK by entering into TWRP. If you have to use the power button without the volume keys to enter TWRP you have Jelly Bean. If you need to answer yes/no questions using volume keys then you are on Kit Kat. There is no way to know what specific version you are on past this that I am aware of. You can always flash a bootstack and then you will know precisely.

I'm staying within the same version i.e. CM12, PA 5.1, Vanir 5.1 so I'm not talking about dirty flashing from CM to PA or 5 to 5.1 it's the same ROM same version just a new nightly.

Not sure if I asked already, but have you performed a CSE flash with the flash tool and the appropriate kdz?

download a terminal emulator and run the following command:

su
echo "1" > /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/firmware

This is weird. Did it ever work before? And have you installed/uninstalled any system apps before the dirty flash?

No idea. Have you asked in the appropriate thread?

I'm not sure if this works for the D800 variant too: Copy the following link and add your IMEI behind the "=" and hit enter. Then somewhere on this website should be a link to the latest official firmware.

and in this mode phone gets really hot!

when i enter recovery i couldnt manage to install any rom because my sdcard is empty and otg-usb is not recognizable.

and in recovery mode, pc cannot detect the device only unknown device as "LG D802"

so i found android adb driver and manuelly install to windows.. but still i cannot pust any file over usb via adb.

adb push command gives me "read only system" error.

i also tried adb sideload to install custom rom from pc..

adb sideload command still gives me "read only file system"

i am assuming this is due to secured Kernel.. but i don't know what to do..

Try to backup your data as good as possible and perform a factory reset.

Idk why you flashed such an old recovery and you did this through flashify... Why don't you want to flash a kdz? Follow this guide. Works fine for me.

Are you sure it is a LS980? Having no update option in system settings usually means there is a custom ROM installed to mock people. Best if you open the backcover and look what variant is written on the mainboard. Then you can flash the proper kdz and take the otas.

Here's a good one...

OK. D802 16GB, based in UK. Unlocked, probably EU - bought from Amazon Warehouse, so probable, not definate. Was running CM12 happily w/ TWRP 2..8.6.1, decided to try to flash Cloudy g2 Lollipop zip someone had converted for D802 from VS*** version.

Resulted in non-booting ROM, sat at LG screen with pulsating LED.

However, problem is that touchscreen / digitiser multi-touch issues are apparent as in earlier post this page. - means I can't 'swipe' in TWRP to action anything. With practice I can sometimes get *to* an option or a screen, but to swipe? Not a chance.

Any thoughts how I can end my nightmare? It does enter download mode so I've got that going for me.

One of the problems is that I can't work out which build version of D802 to flash, not having the build number available to go from. Also, the flashed Cloudyg2 Lollipop ROM didn't boot 1st time, so I haven't been able to allow the RSA key for adb, I'm guessing. Can I just try an EU open one for 12-something? Or will that result in a borked handset if I simply guess wrong? As I was moving from CM12 to Gloudyg2 I chose to do a full wipe of everything available in TWRP advanced wipe.

I've bought another G2 to try to move my life over to that in case of no return of #1, but guess what? No download mode available from holding up key while inserting USB cable, so I'm guessing no root either...build D80220h

Is there a way to force flash a ROM zip on a connected handset in TWRP recovery, or force flash another recovery (although I doubt this will help with the digitiser/touchscreen issues).
