Still cant root.

Hey guys,

Im still having issues rooting.

ive used IOroot25 to no avail, i also tried IOroot10 and 24.

I originally used IOroot10 and succesfully rooted my phone then soft bricked it by using AutoRec which didnt support D802T.

so now after recovering my phone i cant seem to root it with any method.

D802 ROM on LS980

Hey there, community. I've got a little nooby question and hope you might help me.

I bought an LG LS980 from abroad with a custom ROM for D802.

There is Rayglobe Flex ROM 3.5 on it, with BasebandVersion M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190034

Kernel-Version: 3.4.0

Software-Version: D80211Z

In Hardware-Information it's telling me, that the model number is LG-D802.

So as it is a 4.2.2 ROM and I don't like it (just because it's ugly, it works well), I want to upgrade on 4.4.2.

Is this possible? Which ROM should I take? I don't want to go back on any LS980-ROMs, I read, they do not work in Europe.

Could I use the custom ROMs for D802?

I'm not that good in flashing, is there any tutorial for this case? I didn't find one at Google.

Hi there guys. I have a LG G2 802 variant running PA 4.4.2 for a week or so and this morning, after a reboot (made a change in G2Xposed, blacklisted Hangouts in the bleed effect seting) i got the right hand black/grey lines. What can i do to solve this ? They are still here after 3 reboots.

EDIT: As it seems its not just the black lines problem, when i lock the screen i have to reboot because it dosent turn on anymore. What can i do ?

hey the files need to be placed either in system/app or system/priv-app and need the rw-r--r--(0644) permmissions and after a reboot they will be installed, the folder was just created and I usually name it according to what I will upload

hey if you are saying that on the phone knock on doesn't work then first using the lg quickmemo try to paint the entire screen, if everything gets painted then there aren't any dead spots(which usually cause knock on to break), and you can try going into the hidden menu(if it's sprint or version model this won't be possible) to fix knock just go to phone dialer and type 3845#*80x# just replace x with the device model(d802=international/d801=T-Mobile/d800=at&t/d805=brazil/d803 rogers) and scroll to settings and touch the update touch firmware you will need and internet connection and about 15 seconds of patience once it's done check to see if knock on works, if it doesn't then it is hardware problem

1)to update twrp download the latest for your device from here and flash it from inside twrp

2)yes the fact that you need a different modem/baseband/radio(all the same thing but everyone uses different names) means that you cannot use your 4.2 backup without flashing the 4.2 modem/baseband/radio

3)no that is not the case reaching recovery via buttons should be something you learn to do from the beginning

4)who knows each device is different

I would like to clarify that the only time you need to switch your baseband is when you are flashing the rom with lg stock kk sources and are on jb:

4.2 aosp lg jb sources to 4.4 aosp lg jb sources- just flash rom and done

4.2 aosp lg jb sources to 4.4 aosp lg kk sources-you need lg official kk baseband

4.2 aosp lg jb sources to lg 4.2 stock-just flash and done

4.2 aosp lg jb sources to lg 4.4 stock-you need lg official kk baseband
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
have you tried the manual method:

1)open cmd window inside ioroot25 folder

2)place phone in airplane mode and enable usb debugging then plug into pc

3)type adb devices in cmd to make sure device is visible

4)after you see your device type adb reboot recovery

5)when the phone reboots into stock recovery using volume keys scroll to adb sideload update option and use power button to confirm

6)in cmd window type adb sideload kk_root.zip

7)you should see dat root on phone screen

8)enjoy root
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
how are your trying to push the rom naturally using the android sdk you go to platform tools(make sure to copy rom to it and if name of rom has spaces rame to shorter name or rename spaces with _ ) and open a cmd window there then after an adb devices to make sure device is visible you use adb push rom.zip sdcard/Download where rom is whatever the name of rom is
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper87227:
I know how to access the recovery via buttons, I'm not worried about that. Back when TWRP first was released, I recall something about people getting into bootloops doing it that way. I never really read much into it, as it didn't affect me, so I don't know if it was an isolated thing or not... just wanted to make sure it still wasn't a concern. I haven't been paying attention to development on this phone since it released, and I'm sure a lot has changed since then.

Thanks for your help, tells me exactly what I needed to know!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
you mention you can start download mode, have you tried back to stock method?

---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 PM ----------

that is a very good question the device says it is a d802 everywhere(naturally even with custom rom based on another device, the model number would still be the original) so that means that it should work with any d802 rom; seeing as the device is branded as ls980 I can't really say sure go ahead and flash in this case it is really up to you to take the risk, if the device has try been converted from ls980 to d802 then there shouldn't be any problems and nothing will go wrong but if it is ls980 with some tweaks to build.prop flashing a d802 rom may brick the device same thing with flashing ls980 rom on a device converted to d802 will result in brick so the road you travel is a dangerous one

thank you for the reply. (: but flashing a AOSP ROM like Cyanogen Mod would work, wouldn't it? I don't know if this is model specific...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
each rom is device specific because there are things that must be catered to in the roms, network service/device specific features/etc; like I mentioned earlier the road you travel is a dangerous one, you are in a situation which requires you to take a big risk in order to find out whether you can flash d802 roms or not and the biggest problem is if you can't and it fails then your device may be forever bricked

that's awesome, you're the man :victory:

i have pardus hdc 7.3
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
well the rom is based on 20d and lg have not done any other updates that I know off, so all your apps should be up to date; the reasoning behind this is simple lg has only updated the lg specific stock apps via ota which is why there was an update that in changelog it only said updated apps, anyways another way to get the stock apps would be to grab a 20d kdz, I actually have them all extracted already but if I was to upload them with my bad internet it could take like a day or 2 for about 600-900mb total in lg specific apps
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanthrax:
zombie is right, LG doesn't update its apps on a regular basis but through the Ota

the apps from my folder has been extracted from the latest 20d so they are up to date

I've uploaded also the latest LG smart world

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3vi13:
so then i need lg ota app for updates, which is not in pardus rom or i didn't find it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
no by ota we mean the thing that pushes the rom updates, you know like when we went from 4.2 to 4.4(for d800 all the updates were d80010d>d80010o>d80010q>d80020c>d80020k>d80020u the ones that end in 10 are 4.2 while 20 is for 4.4 and in total I have had a total of 4 out of five because the shipping rom was 10d and 20u started today and I need o get back to stock) that was an ota and those are the only times lg updates any app that they feel needs to be updated

Ok,

Now im rooted :).

But i have just installed and AutoRec D802T which is compatible with my G2.

After it did its thing i went to recovery to try it out, once in twrp i rebooted the system and now i am stuck in the lg boot screen.

Back to square one!!

what to do now?

Dibbly
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
you made sure to use the one marked for d802t?

is it bootlooping(boots you see lg logo it does like it turns off and then back to lg logo)

did you do anything inside of twrp(wipe, backup, etc)

can you get back to recovery/can it be seen with adb from pc
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3vi13:
i meant that http://www.lg.com/uk/support/fota to get that installed and if then is it possible to update through the phone?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
that is what I am talking about it's just originally they were called ota so I just stuck to it since it is a more universal abbreviation, and no it cannot be used to just update apps because like I said earlier that only pushes rom updates, and you have custom recovery that is a softbrick guarantee(have you read my signature it's all over the thread); if you are running a custom rom a dev will naturally remove the stuff that the fota update relies on so that the user doesn't get bricked carelessly(I can find them there are multiple things it relies on), just this morning there was a pending update for me and I had to go through the hassle of deleting the update files so that I don't risk the soft brick since I didn't have a backup of my current games
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dibbly:
Yeah i used the one D802T_AutoRec.apk

It's just stuck on the Lg Screen doesnt turn off and on by itself just stays on.

all i did in twrp was reboot system.

when i try to go into recovery it comes up with the factory hard rest screen.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3vi13:
now i understand, and yes i didn't look at your signature :D
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
in factory reset screen press power button three times
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dibbly:
ok so that has taken me to twrp.

Now what should i do?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
as long as it's visible with adb devices, you can try pushing a rom for your device into the phone to flash using adb push rom.zip sdcard/location where rom is the name of the rom and location is a folder in the phone I usually use sdcard/Download; if you cannot see it with adb then that means it is time for a trip to stock
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dibbly:
i opened a command window in the IOroot25 folder and i can see my phone then "recovery" next to it.

i only really wanted to stay on stock but add a few tweaks here and there for less bloat and a more G3 feel.

what do you suggest?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheesejam:
I am on an OTA based ROM (Verizon 12b, 4.2.2) and was wondering what radios are best for me to flash on my phone and where I can get them? Thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
well the only there aren't that many g3 feel roms but if you want stock debloated than cloudystock and it should support your device, if you can flash any d802 rom(the Australia doesn't matter) than pardushd is a great choice while lam hoang has a lot of changes for the g3 feel
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dibbly:
which rom do you use?

and how do i get back to stock from here if i choose to?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
the thing is like I said earlier if you can flash d802 roms without issues than pardus and lam hoang are options, but if you can only flash roms with d802t support your only option there is cloudystock; I use the stock rom for my d800 with some modifications by devs+me; to return to stock you would need to use a d802t kdz+back to stock guide

---------- Post added at 07:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

the modem/radio/baseband that comes with the rom is the one to use don't go mixing phone partitions without having to
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dibbly:
ok thanks. Pardus looks great but im unsure about trying to flash it. trying things with this phone has me doubting my ability of following instructions correctly.

one more question. do i need a custom recovery once rooted if i go back to stock?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
yea pardus looks awesome I might have to buy a d802 so I can use it

if you go back to stock you can root and don't need custom recovery, there are thing that can be changed with root only and you can always use xposed (which now has the option where if you bootloop because of a module you can press one of the buttons on the g2 a bunch of times and it will disable xposed so you can boot normally, you will know it worked because phone will vibrate)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dibbly:
Thanks,

i think i will go back to stock and just root and apply a few tweaks.

Then when i work up the courage i might try to install the custom recovery and pardus rom.

I still dont understand why i couldnt reboot the phone after using AutoRec to install twrp.

Thanks again, im sure i'll need you help in the future. :P
