Help updating MAHDI builds

Hi,

I have MAHDI 7/18 on my LG G2 (D805)], and I wanted to update to 7/29, so I downloaded the mahdi-729.zip, did the following:

Put zip file in my phone

Rebooted into Recovery

Flashed zip

Rebooted

But got stuck in Fastboot! I managed to restore with an old backup i had, but now i'm wondering what exactly are the steps necessary to update?

Device: LG G2 D805

ROM name: MAHDI

ROM version and base: 2.7-7/18

Build number: KTU84Q

Kernel: 3.4.0-g526ab75 dr87@dr87 #1

Battery shows erratic behaviour

hey guys, i really need ur help, i got lg g2 around 3 months back, and it was perfect in everyway, now from the last 1 week, it has started showing really erratic battery behaviour, it keeps turning off like total black sometime when im about to make a call, or when i recieve a message and i unlock to view it or when i recieve a call, there is no pattern to what particular thing is causing it, but it just randomly turns off like this, and when i try to restart it, it start upto the home screen n then goes black again and this keeps on happening.

Note, that even if the battery is charged 100 percent, when i try to turn it on again i can see it showing, 16 percent, 7 percent, 14 percent randomly :/

The only way it then turns on is if i charge it for 5 minz

the battery just drops from like 100, 80 to straight 16 or 7 :/

pleasssee help

Ps. this is the first time im ever posting in a forum, i hope this post in this thread is relevant

and i've tried a factory reset, it didnt help :'(

You have the laf partition backed up? Anyways there are a few ways to to try to flash it:

#1) If download mode is broken this means that when you try to access it you get thrown into fastboot and you should be able to flash the laf.img using adb and fastboot erase/flash

#2) Create a flashable zip that flashes it into the laf partition

#3) Is your device in qhusb_bulk mode if so then you can flash using ubuntu

Now you have to boot into download mode which to do so you power off your device then hold volume up and plug it into your pc and it should have blackscreen with little letters saying udc started, then with adb you should be able to see device in fastboot flash the laf and then fastboot reboot, after this doing thw volume up while plugging into pc you should boot into download mode

Navigation Bar issues

Hi all, been tinkering with the Xposed modules, I have a small ocd issue with the navigation bar. I'm on CloudyFlex 2.5 & I have been unable to get the navigation bar to stay transparent in apps.

It works on the home screen & app drawer with the stock settings, I use Nova Launcher prime, When I use the stock settings for transparent statusbar the apps have a grey transparent navigation bar.

I would rather have the fully transparent navigation bar everywhere but I can't seem to get it to work on the apps.

I have tried the following xposed modules with no luck, Gravity box, G2tweakbox, Force Translucent KitKat, G2Xposed does not have the transparency in the navigation bar as far as I can see.

is there anyway that I can get the transparent navigation bar in apps ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
will look into this, I know that when it comes to homescreen the main reason the navbar is transparent is because the homescreen does not use a nav bar background and it has a special set of transparent nav bar buttons which are not available in the themes; I have been trying to get a transparent navbar theme working with stock rom(I make mods and prefer to not rely on xposed no matter how awesome it becomes) if it succeeds I should be able to make one for flex

Thanku so much for the kind reply, sorry to ask but what do u mean by doing a kdz to stock? i have backed up all my data though :)

i really like this fone, i hope somebody has a fix
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
kdz to stock is the process used to return our phone to a state of complete stock, for rooted/custom rom users it bring everything back to normal no root, no custom recovery, etc and for the users who end up having random issues which are not sure what is causing it then a back to stock returns everything to stock and if the issue is software related then it will be fixed, if by any chance it doesn't then chances of it being hardware related can be suspected

for more information on kdz to stock take a look at this threads second post there is a link to go back to stock; after you do so you should not restore any data for at least a day so that you can make sure it is gone(if the issue is still present you can suspect that maybe the battery itself is having issues) afterwards if everything is back to normal suggest you restore your data little by little and monitor battery to make sure that the issue was not an app itself

You just need to use the first method with any of the open d802 firmware. In theory yes, you can replace the battery but its non removable and I wouldnt even know where you can get one from

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------

I havnt heard of anyone getting that fixed but the good news is that its covered under warranty and you should have no trouble getting a replacement.

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

I thought you already had a recovery. Can you boot into download mode volume up + plug in USB. If you can then follow back to stock guide. If not then follow this to restore laf IMG with fastboot commands, and then kdz to stock.

---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

If you have root but you have not modified anything in your system you can take the update.

The modem is just the driver that controls mobile data/cell signals. If you do decide to flash a kk rom through recovery, you will have to flash the kk baseband with it since your on jb now. There's a thread here that has links to them or sometimes they're linked in the ROM thread.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Lexxx_:
Yep, but warranty period is over and I lost warranty papers.

I know that new screen can be bought on e-bay or aliexpress. But I not quite sure that "dead zone on display" problem can be fixed by display replacement. So I still searching for answers :)

Thank You for the reply but i still need your help, I had a recovery but it was not going into it so i downloaded the wrong Auto Rec & now it is stuck in that screen

My Phone is Stuck from Morning :( Please help
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Thank you guys! :o

Sorry for the late reply, but I have some doubt. :rolleyes:

- Baseband and Modem are the same thing?

- If I flash a different baseband/modem version it affects all my device's sensors right? and affects also the signal and the conection to the telephone network?

-Which version should I flash? Because in some threads I found a lot of versions, and in another thread I found only one zip (considering that I live in Europe, the network and the modem should be different from the US ones...)

My baseband version is M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190084 : it's "old" or it's "updated"?

I hope that with a new baseband the GPS issue gets fixed!

Thank you again, you are saving me (and my G2)! :p

PC not recognizing LG G2 VS980 (missing driver)

Hi All,

I have a soft bricked G2 LG-VS980 that I'm trying to flash back via TOT/KDZ. This happened when I finally plugged a Verizon sim card into it and I clicked yes when it asked to install Kit Kat OTA. I was originally able to root it with pdanet but that's not available since the phone only gives me either a lg splash screen or the main menu in TWRP 2.6.3.3.

I plug the phone into my Win 7 pc and get the usb error: driver not installed. The phone shows up in Device manager as LG-VS980. I have installed the drivers several different ways including the LG United Mobile Drivers 3.12.1.0, LG Verizon United Driver 2.14.1 and tried updating/installing drivers through the LG PC Suite.

How do I fix this error? What are my options at this point? I have backup files on the phone but I'm so new to TWRP not sure if they are any help.

Root, recovery, flash rom

Hello people. I'll get myself next week a LG G2. Finally!

What I wanted to ask is: Am I going to do everything alright because I dont wanna brick my g2 on the first day.

I live in Germany and I' get myself a d802 version.

Also, do I need to update to official KK for both root and recovery because I see in AutoRec guide I need to upgrade to KitKat?

So, I've found two guides on youtube too.

First, rooting. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na4HDeFxdho)

1. Download ioroot and extract the zip package.

2. Enable USB debugging on phone.

3. Install LG G2 drivers. (the guy in the video didnt show he installed them, but, I think I have to install them?)

4. Connect my phone to PC and select "Charge phone".

5. Run the root.bat file.

6. When the phone boots to recovery, select "apply update from ADB" and press power button.

7. Press enter or any key on pc keyboard.

8. When it finishes, select "reboot system now" in recovery and press power button.

9. My device should be rooted now and I can proceed to flashing recovery.

Second, recovery. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cEKPZ4fdz8)

1. Enable USB debugging on phone (if it isnt enabled already).

2. Connect my phone to PC, download the AutoRec apk and transfer it to my phone.

3. Disconnect the phone from PC, install the apk via file explorer and run it.

4. Then in the app, grant Superuser access, press yes to continue, and then press Flash recovery.

5. When it's done, boot to recovery.

6. Device should boot to recovery and I should have now custom recovery.

Third, flashing rom. I'd flash G3 rom.

I've been using HTC Desire S for a long time now, and all I had to do is wipe everything, flash the ROM, flash GApps if neccessery and reboot.

What's not clear for me here, is that KitKat baseband.

What for is it and do I have to flash it everytime I flash a custom ROM or only once?

And do I have to flash it at all?

And, should I flash it before I flash the ROM, or after the ROM is flashed?

And then, flashing ROM. Also, should I do nandroid backup or not?

1. Wipe everything.

2. Flash ROM

3. Flash KitKat baseband? (before or after rom is flashed?)

4. Reboot.

5. Now I should have custom ROM.

So, is everything I said correct?

Big thanks for your help!

Also, if you can boot into TWRP you should be able to flash one of your backups, or any other flashable rom. Once you're booting again you can flash a KDZ. Actually it might be possible to flash a KDZ straight off the bat if you can get into download mode (turn off phone, press volume up, plug in USB), but I've never tried that.

Just like Art said you use the first method. as for replacing the battery it is definitely possible; it has a non removable back to any normal person but for people who repair electronics always find a way; since I was about 15 I earned money by repairing devices and you learn that every device has a way to be opened with the g2 I used a specially thin knife and slid it through the area where you put in the sim card and popped up the safety pins which keep it in place; there are also a few videos on youtube on how to do so as for getting a battery I would go to ebay and buy one don't know if that's an option lets just hope it isn't a battery issue
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
well the way I see dead spots/zones have to be a digitizer issue which happens when the digitizer goes bad, obviously if a phone touch screen stops responding then we would replace the screen this is why I suspect that a simple screen replacement may fix the issue only problem here is that this is my theory and have not found anyone who can prove this

the baseband/modem/radio are all the same thing but people have a tendency to over complicate the simple stuff and because of this there are many names for one thing; as for baseband I have no idea what there name/versions are I just know that there are many of them if you have a d802 than you want to download the baseband for d802 jb; it does not matter whether it is US/Europe version because d802 is international version it's main differences are the carrier branded software

if the problem was just an ota then you can use the took ota and stuck in twrp link from this thread second post

that is all correct and yes autorec is only for kk users, if you are already on kk there is no need to flash the kk baseband, the baseband handles all of the sensors and reason every dev includes that in there rom is because some people update forget to flash it(when coming from jb/old aosp roms) and then complain that rotation not working/gps not working/etc

seeing as kk has been available in Korea since December and in US/EU since late February chances of the device shipping with kk are very likely

first make sure you have the appropriate drivers installed, the ones linked with autorec are usually the best choice; afterwords you have to start by typing adb devices which is the command to make sure that your device is recognized
