Trouble Updating LG G2 (Verizon)

Hi,

So my VS980 LG G2 was rooted and on 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. I wanted to update the software to 4.4.2, so I backed up my data and factory reset the phone. When I go into settings on the factory reset, however, there is no option to check for system updates. An important note is that I had disabled the notification for the system update while I was rooted, so that may have something to do with it. In any event, my main goal is just to install 4.4.2 and then reroot the phone. Thanks in advance for any help.

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

So, after doing a little digging, it looks like I'm still rooted with the same settings as I had before. That seems odd to me, that even after a factory reset, the phone would still stay rooted. I guess I'm used to jailbreaking iphones, where anything you did to the phone could be erased with a factory reset. It sucks that the unrooting process is so complicated...don't know if I'll be able to do it. =/
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
What did you use to disable the system update notification?

On android, factory reset just wipes all user data and rooting is buried somewhat deep. With ios, the jailbreak has so much under the hood that touching basically anything destroys the whole thing. And also, although rooting is usually not quite as easy as jailbreaking, its light years above and beyond it as far as its capabilities. Have you looked around here for the unrooting process, I've never done it on a G2, but it shouldn't be too bad considering its popularity. Plus, I don't think you even have to unroot to update stock. Have you done anything else other than rooting?

I sent in my VS980 LG G2 for repair and they returned it with software version 4.4.2 VS98026A. I want to root the phone again. Every time I try ioroot I cannot get into the stock recovery. Pressing power and up volume I get to firmware update when plugged into the computer or w/o the computer it just cycles with LG. Does this phone not have stock recovery? What am I doing wrong. Do I need to downgrade?

Thanks,

I bought my father an LG G2 that already had AOKP installed and I'm about to activate it with Ting. To do that I need to flash it back to a stock based ROM because updating the PRL/Profile doesn't work on AOSP based ROMs. That's just as well since in my experience running AOSP ROMs on my phone they tend to be way less stable and he won't know how to fix it if something goes wrong.

I was curious about any recommendations for a ROM for him. I'll be modifying whatever it is with xposed modules anyway. These are my top priorities for him:

1. Stability

2. Battery life

3. Working GPS/4g/3g/WiFi

4. Call quality (I've only spent about an hour browsing the G2 forums and I'm not sure if there are radio mods out there that are better than stock)

5. Camera quality

I would definitely appreciate any suggestions. Double tap to wake would be cool too :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trinity1:
I'd go for this one which I have onto my D802. Points 1, 2, 4 and 5 are fully covered. About 3, the gps is not the best, but I'm pretty sure it's my phone prob, not the rom itself (I tried several roms but gps didn't work better).

Otherwise, you could go for that one, together with bruce's kernel (which is a simple kernel just cleaned up a bit). u can find the kernel in the first link.

About this, me too I would like to try latest H version of rom, but I'm having problems in copying the zip into my D802, due to the f...d mtp protocol. Does anybody know how I can transfer a 1.5gb file without the risk of freezinf the phone? I could flash the kdz, but I'd prefer to go for a twrp flashing...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dokap:
Thanks! I'll give that first one a shot! For your question, I've never had that problem when transferring large files so I'm not sure about fixing the transferring error...but what about working around it by just re-downloading it through your phone?

Edit:

Just in case you meant transferring it to a specific folder on your phone, you could try using your file manager's copy/move function. Just tested it in FX on my phone and moved a 2gb file from my download folder to my system folder :)

Edit 2:

Crap, I just realized that since the ROMs that trinity1 are for d802 they won't work for my ls980. Going to try out Affliction.

Downgraded back to Dori's V8.9, still no luck.

BTW, Knock code works for me only when screen is off. When screen is off, I can't lock the phone without pressing the backbutton (or wait 1 minute).

Is it normal? Never used knock code.

Earpiece is not working

Hi guys,

having this issue with earpiece for couple of days now, have to use speaker or headset to talk on the phone.

I don't know what caused it, I used portable bluetooth speaker, but I don't think that was the reason.

Please, if anybody had this not working earpiece issue, recommend what to do, coz I don't want to take the phone to service center and wait for 30 days. Phone didn't fall or anything, no water contact. Have no idea what happened. Phone was bought 3 weeks ago, and problem appeared like 2 days ago. Stock ROM, no tweaks, no root. Thank you.

Press the power button for as long as it takes for the phone to power off and then use the hard reset combination to get into recovery.

You can flash other recoveries over your current one if that's what your asking, just flash them like anything else.

I've never needed to use my EFS backup but it contains your IMEI and radio data which are unique to your phone. Replacing them without making a backup can be tough from what I've read so just back it up to be safe.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James Lu:
My LG G2 got stuck on a bootloop, I couldn't boot it back to recovery mode and I'm not sure if there is an emergency mode. However I have plugged in my phone and it is in download mode. I'm not confident that it will progress beyond 0% as it has been stuck there for a while now. Also, I have rooted the phone, so repairs under warranty are not possible.

What do I do?

D802T

I was trying to sideload CyanogenMod by following the instructions on the webpage, but while I was in recovery, it didn't work, so I tried to reboot it normally and that's when it got stuck on a bootloop.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
I think you need to be on a d802 kk baseband to use other roms. Doesn't the hard reset combination get you into recovery?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James Lu:
Unfortunately no, hard reset doesn't work. Only the Download Mode combination works.

I can't afford another phone, but I noticed in Download Mode it said "Unrooted". Could I get away with claiming a replacement under warranty? Assuming there's no other way to fix this.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
Yeah you should be alright. I don't know why it says unrooted but that's good news. I think we can fix it though. Have you tried both versions of the button combination?

Vol - power then vol - power

Vol - power then vol - vol +

And while in download mode are you using the flashtool 2014 method with the australian kdz?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James Lu:
Yes, I tried both combinations. The phone was completely unresponsive.

I tried using Flash Tool 2014, but there was no established USB connection despite the cable being plugged in on both ends, which confused me greatly.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
Make sure the phones completely powered off, you might have to hold the power button for a long time. Are you getting any errors when plugging it in like drivers failing to install or just no feedback at all?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James Lu:
No feedback at all. I tried this earlier and it yielded pretty much the same result.

I just checked the returns policy, they need to send my phone in for an assessment. I have a feeling that that's pretty risky in that I may get the phone back as is and not be offered a replacement :\
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
I think you really dodged a bullet though with the unrooted flag in download mode. The phone's unusable so there isn't much else they can do. They check for water damage, signs of tampering, root flags and so on. See if there's a number that you can call to have this done instead of taking in to the store and dealing with questions.

I find it strange that the hard reset combination didn't work though. Be extra sure that it doesn't work or else they might boot into your recovery and find all that good stuff you downloaded, like.... twrp recovery lol

The problem i have now is that the jdi kernel solved the problem once booted but i still have an unusable recovery with stripes. My boot screens are messed up as well. And the screen suffers from temporary ghosting from being overdriven while booting.

Problem with download mode-UNROOTED device.

So here is the deal guys.I was rooted running cm12 lollipop ROM everything fine.However i decided to sell the phone (INTERNATIONAL LG G2 D802 16GB MODEL) and i wanted to clear it from "ROOTED" flag on download mode.I flashed a JB ROM (checked by my IMEI) with LG flashtool following exactly the instructions,the flag went to "UNROOTED" and then i tryed to bring the phone to KITKAT 20h update which is the last current firmware for my phone.In between JB rom and 20h update there are around 5 OTA updates.After every OTA update i was factory resetingX2 and rebooting to download mode to check if everything is fine (flag and proper boot to download mode).Everything was fine but after 2 or 3 OTA updates (when i was in KITKAT-20b or 20f update) i couldnt boot to download mode.Checked usb ports,multiple cables,multiple threads and sites to resolve the problem but nothing.Just to know the phone works perfect-the dialer trick with 3845#*802# shows UNROOTED and have no issue.ROOT checker also says i m not rooted and i have no custom recovery installed.Also all the drivers are installed.And one last thing.When i rooted 20h and installed TWRP recovery with loky i could boot to download mode with vol+/incert cable combination.

So my question is: Did LG change the combination of the button needed to press in order to enter download mode ((device powered off,then volume up+connect cable which is connected to pc)something like this happened with factory reset screen-lg changed the combination after an update) or there is something else going on?

Please answer i need to sell tha damn thing and thanks in advance.

EDIT:Installed TWRP recovery with AUTOREC.(not loki)
