Before I didn't have recovery and download mode, but for some reason my recovery worked, I flashed lollipop again and now the phone works. I just need to flash KitKat using the tot method, but lgflashtool isn't detecting my phone, any suggestions on fixing this? It will connect to my computer fine, but it's just lgflashtool not detecting my phone. Could you clarify on the backup containing everything I needed for my phone to work? I used autorec to install twrp.

Hello, i currently have a LG G2 Universal version, No us carrier.

I'm running kitkat 4.4.2 and root, Custom rom is Cloudyflex 2.6 and Cloudykernel 3.4.100

So what i want to do is update my phone from 4.4.2 to Lollipop via LG suite.

What I know is that root will be dissapeared, what I'm wondering is if my rom and kernel will be gone, My root needing apps (xposed, supersu etc) and will my apps be gone?

Any help is appreciated!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Ofc, your ROM and Kernel will be gone. Everything will be overwritten. If your apps too, depends on how you update to LP. If you do it with the LG Suite, you should be able to keep the apps and all your data. But I'm not sure about that.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Methodd:
Okay, is there any way to keep the root and apps requiring root? I've seen some talking about supersu survival mode and some app on play store?

Flashed D805 baseband and rooted again through towelroot. Worked :D
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilanStojkovic:
If you are doing kdz, they will be gone. The best thing to do is to make a backup of your rom and copy the file from twrp folder to your pc that way you can restore it when you root your phone again and install custom recovery. For apps specifically, use titanium backup and also copy tibu folder to pc. On your new lollipop, just install tibu, copy folder from your pc back to your phone and restore apps. Do not restore xposed! You need to flash new one for lollipop. But you can restore modules safely after you installed xposed for lollipop. You will have SU when you root your phone on lollipop.

I have a question, about the processor . If we overclock the CPU and GPU to 2,3 ghz and gpu to 550 mhz it will be the same as snapdragon 801 right? We can also overclock the cpu to 2,5 ghz and the gpu to 578 mhz, because there are snapdragon processor that I think are the same as snapdragon 800, but just with different clocks of the cpu and gpu. Am I right?

If I am there shouldn't be any issues with 578 and 2,5 ghz overclock?

Losing GPS lock

since a couple of weeks I am having big issues with my GPS signal.

I am not sure if these issues started after the lollipop upgrade, I do know I really want to solve these issues.

I was on stock lollipop, did wipe dalvik, cache and factory reset, still the same.

I upgraded to vanir 5.1.1 with als a clean flash, but still the same.

I already downloaded GPS tools to clear the GPS cache and recalibrate it again, but no luck.

I have created a logcat log , where in the beginning I have a GPS lock, it loses the lock and then gets a lock again.

I do see some GPS messages in the logfile, but not sure what the root cause is.

Can anybody have a look at my logcat log , and give any ideas to solve the issues ?

Many thanks, any help is appreciated !

Should be doable with some XPosed module. No clue which one tbh. -> google.

LG LS980 stuck in bootloop(s), rooted, TWRP 2.7.0

Picked up a mint LS980 for a song because it was cheap and because I love the phones. Left it stock for a while since the LG UI isn't all that bad, but the Sprint bloat starts to get to you, so here's what I did: I took the OTA to 5.0.2, then rooted the phone, and then used Autorec to install TWRP, and that's about when things went south. Instead of a recovery I had a demigod crash handler critical error. Phone would boot just fine and worked but I wanted to have SOME kind of recovery. So I reran Autorec and it worked fine and I had TWRP...and that was all, and has been all since. I think I must have done something to bone it all up, but I can't think what (except for managing to corrupt my nandroid...yeah, I had a stock backup but it corrupted during a transfer and I could not retrieve it from the phone).

So that's where I am at the moment: I have TWRP, I can get in to download mode, and I can use most ADB functions.

What I've tried: Sideloading and pushing ROMs to the phone and installing= various types of bootloop.

LG FlashTool fails every time I've run it. Using the LS980 DLL the flash fails in 0 seconds with a Null PID, Null IMEI and no

recognized model number. Using the modded DLL it just tells me there is a cross DLL error. While in download mode the

I don't have, nor can I find, a stock ROM zip. Would like to try that with sideload or push, but all I can find are stock TOT files (and I don't know how or if it's possible to make a TOT into a usable ZIP), so I've tried CM, Pac Man and various UltraPop. I'd also like to know why the FlashTool doesn't see the PID or IMEI (don't think that's normal, is it?).

If there's anything I've left out feel free to ask, if I know I'll post. If anyone has any suggestions fire away!

Thanks in advance to any and everyone who takes the time to comment and offer suggestions or sympathy.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
No wonder you end up in Bootloops: With TWRP 2.7.x.x you can't flash LP ROMs. Update to blastagators latest bumped one. Second: flash a proper LP bootstack once you have a newer recovery. (I guess sideload works?!)

No idea about the flashtool. Have a D802 and never used that tot flashtool. But I wouldn't get nervous about the IMEI thing. Maybe it simply can't read it because you have no ROM installed. Do you have somewhere a nandroid including your efs partition?

Try it with the stockkernel of the ROMs (e.g. slimsaber, I know this one works well)

Runninf xPosed? Have you installed the latest Playservices?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neofyte:
And good news this morning! Phone is back up and running! I'll give a brief description here of how I did it, but I do not recommend this to anyone who isn't using their G2 as a backup/'let's try this' phone.

First off I rarely use Windows. About the only time I use Windows is for things like the LG flash tool, or other things I don't want to run in a VM. My daily drivers all run Linux. I use Debian and Arch primarily. The reason I say this is because I'm very comfortable with Linux partitions and file systems and it makes the guts of Android easy to think about. So I had download mode, and I had TWRP, and I had ADB, but none of those were working, so I read more about how LG's bootloaders are set up and looked at the partitions in XTerm (linux terminal) and thought about why the LG FlashTool wasn't working. After realizing I basically had a conflict with the bootloader but everything else was find I took a huge leap and pushed a different bootloader that I knew would probably just break, flashed it and that was what happened...I now had download mode only, no twrp, no boot, just a secure boot error. I fired up Windows again, hooked up flash tool and immediately saw it working, and 256 seconds later I had a new phone!

Let me again say I don't recommend that process, and I don't think anyone here would either, but just wanted to tell you how I did it. Now I just have to fix the M7 which I now think is broken EFS.

And if you're wondering which bootloader I flashed, it was a bumped 12b. I don't know that the exact bootloader made the difference, but I could be wrong about that.

HI,

Very new to LG Gq D800 model and have a couple of questions. Phone is updated to lollipop and is currently on T-mobile sim. I have two questions:

1. The ringer and notification volumes are so low. Any way to increase them. I saw the mod for earlier android version but nothing for Lollipop. Anyone find a fix?

2. The stock Home launcher looks awesome but my eyes are hurting looking at those icon sizes. The text size on the phone seems fine (eg. messaging app is ok), but the home page icons and their titles are just too small to make out and hurts my eyes. Tried messing with DPI settings but doesnt seem to change those icon title size. Also tried changing text setting to Large font with no joy. Any pointers on what to change? My phone is rooted.

Thanks so much.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neofyte:
The thanks are for both your threads. I had already read your writeup about LG partitions and that helped me think about the process I took. On and off here today but I cannot say thanks enough for that writeup, as well as the process writeup. I had that on deck in case what I tried didn't work. I've recovered some pretty nasty spectacular partition issues on Linux proper, but it's always helpful to back that general experience up with specifics about your own device.
