No, I bought the device from craigslist. surprisingly, it had CM with d801 firmware and when I tried to update cyanogenmod it kept giving me errors saying that the firmware I am trying to flash was only compatible with d801. In the Cyanogenmod>Settings>Data>Preferred Network Type> I have changed the default to GSM/LTE and now the phone is recognized as ATT. I can make calls but texting does not work. And, a text from a friend keeps looping every minute. Does this mean my phone is already unlocked?

EDIT: Everything is working fine now. Preferred Network Type is set to LTE/WCDMA. I don't know if that is the reason everything works.

So I've been looking at starting to use Google Wallet on my D800, and I'm currently running Optimus G3 v1.2. However, when I open Wallet it tells me that there was an error adding my account. After googling around a bit, I'm reading about something called a "secure element" in the NFC chip that is fried/broken as soon as you flash any non-carrier/non-official ROM, and cannot be restored unless you have a nandroid of a ROM with working Wallet. Is this true, and am I SOL even if I flash back to stock AT&T G2 firmware?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -MaoR-:
Let me see if I got it straight...

Basically I flash a kernel using LittleKernelFlasher (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2761783) and it fits itself to my panel type?

And where should I look for the "white lines"?

If I put my cellphone under light, and look at it in a sharp angle, while the screen is off, I can see vertical stripes on the screen itself. It was like this when I bought it. Are these the white lines it refers to?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyessen:
No, there would be clear visible white lines while your screen is turned on. The lines you see under the light are normal and part of the panel :) I would use the app linked above to double check your display type, then remember that whenever you flash a ROM or kernel.

skype issues

hi all

i bought this phone for my girlfriend, she is enthusiastic excluding the skype issue

it's impossible to call with skype using her phone, we have to start the call 3-4 times before it really calls, the call stops after some second, and if it doesn't stop the audio is orrible

An example is this video that i found on youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zg4WEbh8tdE

i saw a lot of questions about this problems, but no solutions

I've a stock D80220d-EUR-XX firmware, build KOT49I.D80220d , not rooted .When I check for update it says that it's the last version

should I try to force to install the D80220F firmware?

I wouldn't install a custom firmware to avoid breaking warranty

I'm thinking about send it back to amazon and ask for my money back, because Skype call are fundamentals for her, to talk with her mother in another country

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
No way to flash. If you prefere Stock use a G3 Port, Cloudys (as you already said) is probably the best one (are there any others?!). If you like AOSP more, try AICP. It has got a floating window functionality. There is an XPosed Module that adds this functionality to any AOSP Based ROM (use google), but Idk how good that works.

---------- Post added at 03:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

No worries bro! As long as TWRP is working, everything is fine. ;) You said, you have ADB already installed. Download the ROM.zip you want to your PC. Then copy it into the same folder as the adb.exe file is. Then open a command line (shift+right-click in explorer --> open terminal here) --> boot your phone into twrp, go to advanced --> sideload. Swipe --> write in the terminal "adb sideload <ROM>.zip". If everything is setup correctly the file gets pushed and immediately flashed after that. ;) If you want you can do the same with gapps after the ROM. Make sure, you type the right name of the <ROM>.zip. You can use shift to autocomplete the filename. ;) All the best to you and your mobile :D

White lines on VS980 after using AutoRec

Would appreciate some help as I can't use my phone right now. I decided to install recovery after rooting, and I downloaded AutoRec, and I got the white line issue that the XDA thread warned about. I understand that I'm supposed to flash a kernel to fix the issue, but I'm unsure how I'm supposed to flash a kernel now that I can't use my phone at all. I'm not even sure if USB debugging is turned on because ADB isn't recognizing any devices. Not to mention I've never flashed a kernel before. Not sure what to do from here to get my phone usable again. Any advice would be helpful.

Your phone doesn't boot up at all or just has whitelines if you boot?

I do not have that issue, but if you read carefully, you will get to an end. ;) (Link above --> White lines (hit the Link in this section) --> Download the ritght version and flash(/install) it in TWRP --> reboot --> lines should be gone)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramenlord:
That would be the second. It does boot and has the lines at all times, the screen is completely unreadable no matter where I am. In theory I can get into TWRP since I installed it with AutoRec, but I'm having trouble doing that since I can't see what's going on. I'm not sure I'll even be able to see anything in TWRP if I get into it. I do have the kernel I need to be flashed downloaded on my computer, but without being able to see what's on the screen I'm unsure how to actually flash it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
In the post above I described how to sideload with the ADB. An ADB guide can you fin in the secont post of this thread. ;) After installinng that ADB proceed to the sideload, like described above. just instead of a <ROM>.zip you take the <Kernel>.zip.

If its too hard or you can't navigate to the sideload.zip you can just kdz back to stock and start again. But the next time you use autorec keep that jdi jernel on your sdcard and flash it right away as soon as you enter the twrp screen for the first time.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
I'll try to clarify things a bit. There's 3 ways of taking a system update.

1. Taking the OTA which is what you've been having issues with.

2. Updating manually with the lg mobile support tool.

3. Using the kdz or tot method.

Adb is just a way to bridge your phones file system with your pc so you can move files to and from for example.

You can learn more about that here

If your rooted then your ota might not go through. So before you try anything else, please make sure that you you tried the 3 methods outlined above. The program for method 2 is in the flashtool folder. Good luck

I keep my twrp backup on my device and PC. Thinking about deleting it from phone memory. Is there some rare scenario where I would regret deleting it?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
One backup is all you need on your phone. If you flash roms every now and then it's a necessity, believe me.

The other reason why I keep all my backups (on my pc) is there might be some setup, or sms or contact I forgot to save and if I flash without backing up I'll say, oh crap, I lost that number! Or whatever lol But its very inconvenient to be stuck without a backup.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Closed Force:
Thank you :) but your answer doesn't help me with my dilemma :) I don't flash a lot of roms, and I understand that it's time consuming to transfer backup from pc to phone every time you want to restore. What I was wondering is if anyone heard of scenario where someone screwed system in a way that he could boot to recovery but could not push files from pc to phone memory in order to restore them?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
No idea. Never heard about that.

Personal I have always one backup of the last ROM I had installed on my device. Doesn't matter if it's a stock or an AOSP based ROM. At least I have a backup. If your problem is the free space, you can either search a small ROM (low zip-file size) and always carry this with you, for the case your system get's f*cked up (you just can flash it then, so your phone is basically usable) or you can look around for a ROM that's small when installed and take a backup.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
People mosty have driver related issues where the adb single sooner interface fails to install. And you'll get a popup saying "device drivers failed to install." This also affects download mode. In which case the pdanet drivers should do the trick. Alternativey, instead of having a nandroid taking up space you can keep a cm rom on your sdcard which is about 200mb if you want to conserve space but still have some backup.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
OTA is short form of "over-the-air" so as the name says, you download that update directly onto your phone. It get's flashed in the stock recovery automatically. And an official update is NEVER (except google factory images for nexus devices) available as flashable zip.

The adb sideload/push (a push doesn't get installed immediately and some TWRP versions had problems with it, so i told you to sideload) does only work with flashable zips for twrp/cwm/most other custom recoveries. The 3 ways to get official updates [MENTION=5644061]Art Vanderlay[/MENTION] has already described.

About your first question: No idea if it was the root. The point is it was modded. Usually just rooted devices are updatable without any problems but for hiding those update options (and maybe other changes in the Background) other files had to be modded. So I'd guess this was the problem.

Ok guys, need some help from you.

First I wanna say I'm not new to the rooting/flashing world, but I can't fix this issue. I have a Verizon g2 (vs980) running stock 4.4.2. I rooted using Stump root, worked flawlessly, I installed Twrp using Rashr from play store and it worked fine. But for some reason I can't flash any roms. When I I pick the zip from SD card it goes to the installation screen, then it shows *checking for md5 file* and then right after it only shows *updating partition details* but nothing about the rom being installed. And when I reboot it gets stuck on the LG screen (softbricked) so I'm forced to get into recovery mode and restore the stock room. Any ideas on what to do? Any help is appreciated!!
