lg g2 help

So I had rooted my phone a long time ago, and can't even recall what I used for a ROM. I've been trying to figure out what I have on here, and trying to put something more up to date, as I'm still on 4.2.2. Anyways, here's what is showing on my phone:

Android 4.2.2

Baseband VS98011A-M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.1091007

Kernel Version: 3.4.0-perf-g7c2d0a2 lge@android-build

Build number: JDQ39B

Software: VS98011A

I have TWRP Manager, Superuser, Titanium Backup, Clockwork ROM Manager, Quick Boot apps on here, and none can get me past Andy with the red triangle !

Any help to get me into something newer, better, faster, stronger would be amazing!!

Hi! I have a weird and urgent problem regarding my lg d802. Everytime I connect my phone to the PC, it auto restarts and is stuck on a bootloop until I remove the cable. I just reverted to stock rom coming from the cloudy g3 rom. Also, I can enter download mode but as soon as I connect it again to the PC, it shuts down. Anyone encounter this problem? Any solutions? Thanks!

LG G2 D800 Bricked

Hey all,

Sorry to bother you all, but I just encountered a big problem. I was trying to put twrp recovery on my lg g2 D800 At&t model but it downloaded the D802 version of AutoRec. After I went through the process and it said it was successful, I powered off my phone and then attempted to boot into recovery by holding down the power and volume down keys. When it got past the LG logo, it went to a black screen with the following in the upper left hand corner:

fastboot mode started

udc_start()

Now I tried to do some internet searches for some fixes but I wasn't able to find anything that looks like it would work for this particular problem. I cant seem to boot into anything other than that screen no matter if I attempt to boot into recovery, download mode, or just boot. I am not very well versed in the Android operating system and all this custom recovery and root stuff, so any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks so much for your help,

You need to install adb + fastboot on your computer. There's a guide here on how to do that.

After you do that you have to find the partition img's for your device here. You want the aboot, boot and laf img. Put them in your platform tools folder.

After you've done that with your pc connected to your phone in fastboot type fastboot devices and then run the following commands one at a time

Fastboot erase recovery
Fastboot erase boot
Fastboot erase aboot
Fastboot erase laf
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash aboot aboot.img
Fastboot flash laf laf.img

Then boot into download mode and flash tot

I'd say it's best, if you follow his instructions. But instead of installing the Stockrecovery, you take a TWRP img and flash this. And then you can flash a custom rom. if you want to revert to stock, you can use the guide linket in the second post of this thread. ;)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
Which version of camera mod did you install the latest version needs custom recovery so that you can see changes in the camera features/performance, you can do ota as long as you are only rooted and don't have custom recovery as long as you haven't changed any system files because then when you get to ota the update will fail and give you a "update failed because your device is suspected of rooting"

You should be able to root using latest ioroot or stumproot(at the g3 dev thread)

Using xdabbebs binary package audio recording seems to improve

Lg designed it so that only there apps have the ability to wake screen with shortcuts(example if you install xdabbeb xcam and set it to open with long press volume down while screen off the app will open but screen stays off you need to double tap to be able to capture the pictures)

The best suggestion would be to kdz to a stock vzw kk update and then begin rooting and stuff

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rasenshuriken090593:
I have the 3.2 and also the xcam. I only installed them via apk because I did not install any custom recovery. I tried installing via rom manager but i think it didn't work. The recovery still says android something. So, it is fine to update while rooted? I did not change anything except the camera. Sorry, I'm so confused. My only concern is will it damage my phone? Cause i don't know how to fix it if ever that happens
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
No binary package can only be installed with custom recovery and custom recovery on kk can only be installed with autorec

As for updating you can do it with root and the only thing that can go bad is it will just not update because you are rooted is all

Power the phone off, then wait a few seconds, then hold power and volume up at the same time until you get to the factory reset screen. Hit the power button to confirm, then hit it three times again, then boom you should be in recovery. If you dont have recovery, then you'll factory reset you're phone.

Cool. I just want to check if I have a custom recovery on this phone. If not I'm sure I can install one right?

Just follow those steps, and if you don't have recovery then you'll reset you're phone. In that case search on XDA for Autorec and that will install you're recovery.

Hey there :)

I really need help for this one.

I was running my D802 on cloudy G3 and I tried to flash some inappropriate .zip causing a bootloop and an inaccessibility to recovery (Instead I got an option to erase my data).

I know how to go back to stock but I want to recover my data before. When I try to flash a kdz I got plenty of error messages after the phone boot (com.android, systemui...etc.). The only way to get these messages disappear is to perform a CSE Flash, but once again I really need to recover my pictures and some other data.

I used to run adb with my nexus 4 but I don't know how it works with the G2.

Thank you very much in advance.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
it is not possible to boot into fastboot mode on purpose, there are a couple of ways to do so but they are not recommended to the normal user because 1-3 are just causing a boot error which puts you into fastboot while number four is somewhat safer it is sort of shoot or miss situation:

option 1)using a terminal emulator delete the recovery partition afterwards either:

-a)settings>factory reset confirm and you will be in fastboot mode

or

-b)power off and do volume trick to boot into factory reset confirm and you will be in fastboot

option2)same as above but instead you want to delete the laf partition(this is download mode partition) and then boot into download mode and you will be in fastboot

option 3)same as above instead you want to delete the kernel partition(either aboot or boot need to confirm because the other is bootloader and don't want to delete that) and rebooting the phone will boot you into fastboot automatically because there is no kernel

option 4)savoca has a modded bootloader which works with most variants and has the ability to boot into fastboot without resulting in above consequences

if you were rooted with custom recovery and never used the manual button combination to boot into recovery than the factory reset might have scared you off but to most people who have gotten accustomed to using manual method to enter custom recovery know that after confirming the reset it boots into custom recovery the reason for factory reset screen is because LG designed it so you would not have access to the stock recovery and this screen will only trigger a factory reset if on stock recovery

without the device model number we will not know which one to download, boot into download mode and give us the information from the little box at the bottom which tells you the device model(unless someone has changed it in build.prop it should list the correct model)

it seems that an alarm is triggering about half of those and something that tracks data has got the other half of those, do you use any play apps to track data usage/what app are you using for alarm, do you have multiple alarms set up

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naxol:
The only thing I can see in download mode is ROOTED in red font at the bottom left of a box, and at the top left right above it is "B39".

But anyway I think I figured it out, I found this site http://sndeep.info/en that looks up IMEI/Serial Number info, putting my serial number in didn't reveal anything useful, but the IMEI revealed a lot of info about my device, and what made me sure is that part of that info was the serial number that is on my box, and it said the phone was made for UAE, so I'm downloading the UAE firmware right now and will try it out... Hope it works.
