Problem!

Hello, So one of my plans for spring break was to put lolipop on my Lg G2(LS980). So i made a backup of my old data and put it on my desktop. My old recovery was Philz Touch(not exactly sure what version) . I factory reset my device so it was ready for a new rom. The rom did not work and I have been able to get back to stock 4.2.2 and even get root. I am having trouble when flashing any recovery. I installed autorec and it put my device into a bootloop. I un did that and went back to stock and I have tried for the last 5 days to get it to work and I have nothing. So finally I accepted defeat and decided to ask the experts. Thanks Guys!!

Did you go back to stock with a normal or a cse flash? Be sure you make a cse flash.

Hi to all friends

My G2 phone had stock 20c Rom and its a long time that I'm using MIUI V5 flashed by philz recovery.now I want to try lolipop v30a zip Rom but I think I should change my recovery.is it right? Can you guide me to correct one?I've heard manythings about bumped recovery but I don't know what it is.

My second question is the difference of flashing 5.0.2 by kdz style or by flashing zip file by recovery.which one is better in result and stability ?

I don't get what you want to do...

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

Yeah, you're right. Flash this one in your recovery, then reboot the recovery and flash the zip.

Well. If you do it the kdz way, you will be on pure stock. No (custom) recovery, no root, etc. If you do it with the zip and perform a clean flash (wiping cache, dalvik, system & data before flash) it's just a reliable as it would be if you do it with the kdz. But if you do it with the zip you can keep the recovery and flash superSU at the same time. So you don't have to root again. ;)

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Got you now. Have you got root access and so on? theoretically it should be possible to mess around in the xmls and get those buttons to the other side. But why you want to do so and why don't you just use another camera app?

I just broke my screen, and upper buttons doesnt work :P Original camera have lot of modes, burst shot or panorama is better in original LG G2 camera mode.

Question

Okay guys, I have read through the whole permanent screen damage thread and I cant just grab the gist of it...so can't we flash any custom roms on g2 without risking permanent damage??

I also noticed that AOSP Roms have a higher tendency to damage the screen permanently...so are roms like cloudy safer????

And finally is the thermal protective recovery 100% succesful in preventing permanent screen damage??

Thank you for your patience guys

Hey all, just got my AT&T LG G2. And I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty pleased with the stock ROM.

EXCEPT. EXCEPPPPPTTTT for the dang contacts and phone app. They are the worst. I was wondering if there was a way to replace those?

I've started using exdialer and that's great, when I go to add a new contact it opens up the contacts app and for some dumb reason it defaults to adding the contact to my AT&T address book instead of my preferred Gmail account... If I could fix that I'd be able to deal with it, but I haven't found a way. I can't even delete the "AT&T Address Book" entry under settings > Accounts & Sync.

Type your imei here: lg-firmware-rom.com and download the newest kdz that's kk for sure. ;) If it has something like d80030 in it, it's lollipop already. but instead of 30 it should be something with 20 then you can flash it and get KK.

Yeah, it is. You can switch between android versions using kdzs as much as you want. Just make sure you pick the right one for your variant.

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

First: Don't push your posts. No one likes that. I'm not awake 24/7 nor others are. And if I don't know an answer, I usually write that. No, there is no warranty, that you don't get the screen damage. It happened with stock updates too.

Nowadays the devs are aware of this problem and there are nearly no new cases anymore. To greatly lower the risk, I recommend you to use this recovery.

And no there is no way to prevent screendamage at 100% except flashing nothing, not even OTAs. My phone had 50+ flashes now and never had any issues, so don't worry. ;)

I have the Verizon G2, and I'm curious if I can run any of the "All Variants" ROMs in the Original Development section, and if so what the difference is between those and the ROMs specific to the VS980. Are those built for multiple G2 less stable than those for the VS980?

Hello there, thanks for your response.

Sadly when entering the IMEi and clicking on "Download" it opens up the page attached, but clicking on the link does nothing but open up the same page.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
I think lg-firmware-rom only caters for .KDZ files.

The files you're looking at are .zip files compressed with their respective .TOT and .DLL files, because the AT&T D800 doesn't use .KDZs.

The .TOT and .DLL for D80020c (4.4.2 KitKat) can be found HERE thanks to [MENTION=522014]SuperSport[/MENTION]. It's a big download so make a coffee.

Scroll down a little bit on the first post by hyelton and you'll come across the TOT/DLL method, which is used by all AT&T devices.

Feel free to use SuperSport's tutorial for flashing KitKat as well.

His method involves a standalone .exe which aims to make it easy for everyone to get KitKat on their D800.

If you would like to take the 20y update after being on 20c, read this thread. However, there's no real reason to go to 20y. Not a lot was changed to the firmware itself and it just restricts your choices in regards to rooting. So, don't bother with 20y.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
Would anyone know why I'm experiencing sound distortion as soon as I hang up a phone call? What I'm trying to say is whenever I hang up a call, it makes the hang up -beep- perfectly fine, but afterwards all softkey sounds, volume increase/decrease sounds and lock sounds are distorted and robotic. This continues until I lock my device and unlock it. The unlock sound is usually back to normal and the distortion has stopped. It seems like a background process continues to run in the background until I lock my device.

I've found 2 related questions to this issue on XDA, none of them have any proposed solution.

#1

#2

For what it's worth, here's a stupidly large logcat of me performing the call, hanging up, making the weird sounds, and then locking/unlocking my device. Didn't know what else to share to help with this problem, but I hope it can shed some insight.

This happens on all CM/AOSP based ROMs for me.

I'm currently using SlimKat 9.0 with a 10b JB Modem.

This also happens on other JB Modems/AOSP-Modified KK modems as well.

I have also tried Furnace Kernel for CM with no luck.

Note: The bug does not occur with headphones plugged in.

I tried the recent audio_policy.conf fix but it doesn't seem to have changed a thing. I guess that makes sense since it was mainly a fix for distortion in VoIP applications, but felt like trying it anyway.

Thanks to anyone who can help or shed some insight :). I thought I'd ask here first before starting a bug report.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
Yes, All Variants means All Variants of the LGG2 are supported.

If you open the All Variant ROM threads in the Original Development section you'll notice they either offer multiple download links of their ROM .zip depending on your model (D800, D802, D801, VS980, etc.) or simply provide one .zip file as a complete package that supports All Variants.

Some people like [MENTION=270378]Cloudyfa[/MENTION] release their ROMs as one zip file only, supporting All Variants, that's to say it includes an Aroma Installer and you choose your Desired Variant during the flash process.

The difference between VS980 Only ROMs and ROMs that support All Variants is just what the ROM Developer maintains and supports. If the Developer only has a D802 to test and no friends to port it for him, they might only make their ROM work on the D802 and ignore the other models. However there's some hard coded information attached to every model like their respective 2G, 3G and LTE band support.

Hi Guys,

My phone got bricked when i tried to install recovery . After installing the recovery it booted into TWRP screen but since then no boot loader or No Fast boot on top of that device just stays on the boot screen with LG logo.

Moreover, Device is not installing the drivers properly. In the device manager it is showing a ! symbol under 'other devices' and error is as below.

The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

There are no compatible drivers for this device.

To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.

Downloaded, extracted and flashed D80210b_00.kdz modem, but the bug is still occuring.

D80210b-SEA-XX (Asia/Australia/D802)

Baseband Version: M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190036

The basebands I've tried so far,

LGD802_10B_SEA_RADIO.zip

D802_EUR_KKMODEM_AOSP.zip

I also tried the KK_Baseband_D802.zip, but unfortunately no luck with that either.

Edit: Okay I've narrowed it down to when the problem happens. It's happens when I make any system/notification sound in the first 5-7 seconds of hanging up a phone call. With my ear up against my G2, I hang up from a phone call, and hear absolute silence.

But

when I instantly press on a softkey or change my volume, the speakers turn on (I can hear this light windy sound notifying me that they're on and receiving data/sound) and they remain on for about 7 seconds (if I don't make any more sound). If I keep making making sounds by pressing more softkeys or changing my volume the sound continues until I stop making sound for 5-7 seconds.

Why is there such a delay with the speakers turning off when I initiate sound as soon as I end a phone call?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
It's fine don't worry about it. When firmwares are released it gets given a number, and a letter ie; "10X"

In regards to the 30a/d Lollipop release you're talking about,

30 = Lollipop

a/d = Release Location/Branded Firmware (Vodaphone)

The letter is just an indication on where it was initially released and/or its branding. Different countries get different letters. 30a was the name given to Lollipop when it was released in Italy, 30d was the name given to the Vodaphone branded Lollipop release. Both are pretty much identical but 30d comes with some Vodaphone stuff.

What I'm trying to say is, the letter really doesn't matter. As long as it's a D802 firmware release, it will work on your D802 :).

Has anyone tried to update your recovery after using AutoRec? I ask this because the version of TWRP that AutoRec installs is an older one but whenever I try to install a newer version I always get an error message. I don't really know if a newer version matters though.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:

Of course, you can upgrade your TWRP after you've been given 2.7.0.0 by AutoRec.

AutoRec just gives you 2.7.0.0 as a base. It's up to you what you do with your Recovery afterwards.

It's always good to have the latest version of TWRP installed, but it's not necessary.

For an example, TWRP 2.8.6.1 by Blastagator allows you to back up your Sensors partition. 2.8.6.0 does not.

Only problem I have with going back to stock is my computer never downloads the correct drivers so I can't use the flash tool but I can use LG Mobile Support Tool but that program doesn't let me choose a kdz file and it gives me the latest build number which I don't know if I should stay on due to gaining root complications and possible baseband/radio issues.
