[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidiscape:
Thanks very much for replying.

Okay, there are 3 separate but related events going on now.

EVENT #1:

The most direct, relevant answer to your question, I did the following:

a). Opened app "ROM Manager."

b). Selected option "Install ROM from SD card" (I downloaded the latest cm nightly through the CyanogenMod app).

c). Selected the directory "Downloads."

d). Selected the directory "com.cyanogenmod1.com/"

e). Selected the file "d801-latest.zip"

f). At ROM Pre-installation, selected "Backup Existing ROM" and "Wipe Data and Cache."

g). Finally,, selected "Reboot and Install."

Now, this is where event number 2 comes into play.

EVENT # 2:

I think I might have done something wrong during my several attempts to ROM flash. Immediately following engaging the last step of event one, my phone immediately blanks out and an error message appears. This is what the first part of it says, verbatim:

"DemiGod Crash Handler: Critical Error

Press key to choose Dload Mode or Reboot"

This text is followed by content that explains how to choose and what to do if I select the Dload Mode option (which involves connected my phone to my laptop via USB). Every time, I simply opt to reboot and then I'm right back where I started with no new flashed ROM.

Okay, now for....

EVENT # 3:

I also tried flashing the cm ROM via both my TWRP app and my CyanogenMod app, respectively. I'm pretty sure I don't know enough about how to use TWRP to successfully engage it (I'm very mindful of all the warnings I've read from various sources against using any root-based apps or functions without understanding what you're doing. I don't want to damage or brick my phone, so I've been treading lightly everywhere). With the CyanogenMod app, it eventually leads me to install the clockworkMod via first confirming my device compatibility. It says mine is not supported.

I've read that it can be manually installed but is a bad idea to install one not device-supported. But last night, I went to droidideas.com and found "Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow CM13 ROM." The website also provides links to download/install clockworkMod and USB drivers onto my laptop (which I thankfully managed to improve the performance of [it's been ridiculously slow and unresponsive lately]).

I was up late (again) last night trying to put all this together but suddenly my laptop froze and I was too tired to go any further at that point. So I shut it down (my psycho laptop's working again today though, woohoo) and haven't done anything yet beyond that point.

I keep reading that today it's a lot easier to flash ROMs. But this has been anything but. If I didn't want this so much and love everything one can supposedly do with a rooted phone, I'd have given up days ago. I deeply appreciate any advice/help you can share. Thanks! Have a great day/night!

Ps, if you want, I'll send you a link to the website where I got those downloads I mentioned.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Thanks for the detailed explanation. It makes helping a lot easier.

Was your phone refurbished?

The current state of your phone is Stock Lollipop with root, right?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidiscape:
Yes to both questions.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Sorry for the latw reply. Did you check the link about refurbished phones? Because the behaviour of your phone is kinda typical for not properly refurbished phones.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidiscape:
That's okay, I appreciate all the help I can get. Sorry for my own late reply.

I clicked the link embedded in your last reply and read the thread. Apologies, all I know (assume) is my phone is refurbished bc the phone rep who sent me this replacement phone (last one got lost) said it was. I don't know how to verify that though by looking at phone info. Where/is there a settings tab I can find this out?

Also, just made another post detailing my problems and requesting help in the G2 Forum for FAQ/HELP/TROUBLESHOOTING. Here's my entire post below detailing my present situation -------

>>>I finally got around to rooting my phone (T-Mobile LG G2 d801 Lollipop) a few weeks ago. Since then, I've been trying to teach myself how to engage my phone's rooted capabilities. Chiefly, I've been trying repeatedly to flash a ROM. I've tried to flash Marshmallow and also the latest cyanogenMod nightly using several "appropriate" apps like CyanogenMod, ROM Manager Premium (along with its sister app ROM Installer), TWRP, and a couple of others. To educate myself, I've referenced related XDA forums/threads, droidideas.com, cyanogenMod website, and several others that appeared reputable. I've followed what I thought were correct directions: backing up my phone with Nandroid as well as my phone's stock backup feature. I've successfully rebooted into recovery mode several times and tried to flash the new ROM, alternately via my laptop and then directly from my phone. All attempts failed.

Currently, my phone while working okay otherwise (apparently) will no longer reboot into recovery and I can't even do a factory reset. Each time I do, the screen immediately goes black followed quickly by a white screen with this message at top (verbatim):

"Demigod Crash Handler: Critical Error!

Press any key to choose Dload Mode or Reboot

1) Volume up: Dload Mode

2) Volume down: Reboot

If you choose Dload Mode,

Please do the following action.

1) Dload Mode, please connect USB

2) Get the ram dump image using QPST Configuration.

Board Info

rev. : 1.1 speed, pcs: 1.1

serial: 03f48b619d532bca"

Clearly, I need major help. I'm tech enthusiastic, but nowhere tech proficient like a lot of you guys, especially with dealing with this kinda stuff. And it's not like I can just take this into a T-Mobile shop and ask for their assistance. I'd deeply appreciate anybody's help who knows how to fix this please. Thank you very, very much! :) <<<

How does paranoid android 6.0.1 run on d802? Any minor or major bugs?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
I just got some time, therefore a longer post... ;) Assuming you're on stock LP with Root, the following is what I'd do:

Download AutoRec (Assuming your Phone really is the D801 variant)

Let it do it's magic (Follow the instructions in the app) ***

Download:

A ROM. You can take almost any ROM from here *

GApps (google OpenGapps for example)

The right bootstack for your model ***

The Updated TWRP

Reboot into TWRP either by using a rebooter app or with the button combo. (Power down phone press Vol-&Pwr until the LG logo shows up, release the buttons and press Vol+&Pwr immediately, confirm that you want to erase your storage. It doesn't actually happen.)

Flash the TWRP you downloaded earlier

Reboot into Recovery

Flash the Bootstack you downloaded earlier and Reboot into recovery again.

Back in the Recovery:

Perform a complete backup

Go to Wipe -> Advanced -> Tick everything except for internal storage and proceed.

Flash ROM

Flash Gapps

Reboot

Have Fun!

*** Neither me nor XDA are responsible for any damage on your handset. This is why I asked if your phone was refurbished. Because if the model it actually is and the files you picked do not match, it's possible that you brick your device. This is why i recommend opening the Backcover and check on the Moterhboard if it really is the D801 Variant.

* Personally I'd try out the Paranoid Android by galactic stryder first i guess.

LG G2 Korea Nougat?

Hey bro,

I've just found this unofficial nougat from for f320 in Google and I don't know how to flash it because in that website it doesn't show anything or guide. And I don't know what thing I need to flash with it like bootstack kernel or anything else. Now I'm running on stock lollipop f320 :

http://www.kim-cloud.com/lg/lg g2/cm14.1/?sort=s

This is that link. And also I heard someone from XDA told me to flash this Lambda-Infinito-Nougat-Beta-N6-F320-10302016.zip in that website and I also don't know what is it. When I ask him than I get no reply from him :(

I hope you can help me with that. Thanks
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
All the Steps/Files/Guides I mention can be found in the first post of this thread or in this thread

Root

Download hybrid bootstack & Latest TWRP by blastagator

Download and Use AutoRec KK (because LP is not available for your Variant) and let it do it's magic

Reboot into Recovery (with the button combo for JB/KK)

Flash (= Install) TWRP & Reboot into Recovery

Make a Full backup

Flash Bootstack & Reboot into Recovery

Wipe -> Advanced -> Check everything except for the internal storage -> proceed

Without rebooting Flash ROM (pick cm-14.1-20161102-UNOFFICIAL-f320.zip from the Link you provided) & Gapps

Disclaimer:

1) Neither XDA nor me are responsible for any damage on your device

2) It's an unofficial CM ROM, so it won't look anything like stock. And I can't tell how stable it is, but I'm not sure I'd try it out myself.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samrach Kem:
Bro,

I'm on lollipop now so would that autorec kk flash my phone?

And could you tell me what is that Lambda-Infinito-Nougat-Beta-N6-F320-10302016.zip in that website? Thanks again bro
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flobbadob:
Hey, I wanted to put my phone back to stock so I used the kdz method outlined here: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2432476. Everything went smoothly, except I didn't realise I was flashing 4.2.2.

I wanted to have kk or lp on there but OTA doesn't work and I can't seem to use the same flashing process, as the phone says 'B93 unrooted' when I go into download mode. Whats the easiest way for me to get stock kit kat on there?

Thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Why can't you use the kdz method again? You shouldn't care about what's written on the screen in this matter ;)

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

You just won't be able to boot up Android after using autorec kk. But since you only need the Recovery in this situation, it doesn't matter. The steps I wrote should work out just fine.

That's a separate Kernel. No need for this.

Instead of writing "Thanks" I'd prefer if you just hit the :good:-button.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_007:
Actually there is autorec f320 k/s/l for lp :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
I can't find it. Can you provide a link?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samrach Kem:
Oops!!

I'm so afraid of it bro, if my android won't boot up than I will be deal with that bootloop. But I have nothing to deal with them :(......and I already flash twrp using that autorec kk just no yet reboot :(.... I'm so worried about it if my device in bad situation. Are you sure bro when I reboot than I get that recovery? :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_007:
Which one do you need? 320k, s or l?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samrach Kem:
Me? I'm using F320s on lollipop
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
If you just reboot you get into a bootloop. Power it down and enter the recovery with the button combo. If it doesn't work on the first try, hold down the powerbutton 20secs (not less!) and try again! I'm sure you'll be fine and if not I'm there for at least 2.5 more hours ;)

What thing I should do now bro? And if I get twrp when I reboot than can I flash that kernel?

Bro help! Now i reboot my device than it show me a black screen and have a short words there, Fastboot is enabled. Anyway i have twrp and i've just do a nandroid backup. Now what thing i should do next? Im so scared right now
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samrach Kem:
Now I get my nougat, but there are a lot of thing I don't understand.

#1 : This device is no longer is F320s but it shows me in about phone, D802 an international lg g2. And when I flash this ROM I noticed some letters say, This ROM is made for d802 but converted to f320 by ......I fogot that name

#2 : For cm user should have that theme engine right? But why I don't have it? And when I go to internet to install it than I open that app than the app immediately close like my device is not on cm os.

#3 : last time I installed cm13 and I see that that ROM master over and have root access! But why this cm14.1 don't have root?

Please help me! Oops I forgot to thank you.

So thanks you so much for helping me, but this is my last req.

, smile face :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
1) Don't worry about that any dev can write there whatever he wants. Just keep in mind your phone actually is a F320 and nothing else. Only thing that matter is the hardware. ;)

2) I think the theme enginge has not been adapted for android n. I may be wrong tho.

3) Did you check if there is an option in the developer settings? If not, just flash super su in TWRP. (You need to use the button combo for KK/LP now to enter the recovery.)

No need to flash any kernel btw.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samrach Kem:
Oops I've just flashed that kernel, sorry. And for root I forgot to check in developer option, haha. And do you know how to install thet theme engine? Because I want to change my navbar to pixel. My device doesn't change the navbar after I installed pixel launcher :( I love pixel navbar
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
It's not possible to install the theme engine afterwards. You'll just have to hope it get's ported and the dev pushes a new variant for your device soon.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samrach Kem:
Hello again bro!

I found new bug for my device. My device doesn't detect sd card or show anything about my sd card. While in twrp it still detect. I think that ROM is going to change my device into d802, because d802 don't have sd card slot. Anyway could you help me? I want to use sd card
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Can't be fixed (unless the dev fixes it). This is why I said I'm not sure I'd try that ROM out. I guess you'd be better off if you just sticked with CM13. ;)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samrach Kem:
How to stick it bro? :confused:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Sticked in this case means I think it was better if you just kept CM13 on your phone, because the support is there and there are almost no bugs, while CM14 is experimental and nowhere near as stable as CM13 right now.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samrach Kem:
Hahaha I understand now, but you know bro? Last time I installed cm13 for f320 than everything is fine for the first time until I go find bug and there are:

#1 : I don't know if this is a bug or not but I lose access to my twrp recovery. When I go there it show me a black screen. I think it's most likely a soft brick. And in the end I end up giving this phone to professional developer in my local phone shop

#2 : although I use an original charger it still keep saying slow charging.

#3 : my root access is error. Sometimes I didn't do anything but it ask me to accept the root. And if I go to root app than the root access pop up and ask me again and again never stop ( sometimes 10 per app )

I think I love this one than cm13 :). But hopefully I get new ROM with supporting sd card and have no bugs :)

Anyway hmmm.. I've just change my model into F320. I went to build.prop and replace all d802 words with f320 :) now it is f320 hahaha

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KASHYAP9:
Hi Guys,

Last night I got LG G2 D802 32 GB from my friend. He was trying to upgrade it from Kitkat to Lollipop using LG PC Suite. But while installing update it failed with an error. According to him phone is unrooted and never been modified. We started digging up and found this.......

Software Version: D80220e (on device)

But Indian variants got D80220b version. So here is a clue that this might be an imported phone.

Furthermore we found a website for downloading firmware for LG G2. When we entered IMEI no. there for getting firmware, website reflected that the phone is from Italy and sold by Vodafone. So it's a sim unlocked imported G2.

He told me that NFC has not been working since the date of purchase. So we opened the back cover with the help of Youtube tutorial videos. As we removed the back cover we found LS980 on the top right corner and bottom left of phone.

A Sprint G2 rather than D802...:confused: What the hell was that ?? Seriously, is it possible? A Sprint G2 sold by Vodafone Italy??

NFC not working as the back cover is of D802 variant and IMEI no. tagged on the inner side of back cover doesn't match the one inside phone settings (*#06#).

My friend wants to upgrade it to lollipop with working NFC. Now we are in a state of confusion. What should we do?

Is it possible to upgrade his G2 to lollipop without bricking it?

EDIT:

According to the IMEI no. it's D802

According to recovery it's D803

According to Motherboard backside it's LS980

any idea which firmware should I flash ??/?? If I take a backup of EFS then Flash firmware of LS980 as motherboard suggests, will I be able to restore EFS back to the device ???
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
You should always go with the motherboard. You can flash a ls980 kdz but you have hex edit it first to read d802 otherwise it won't flash.

I can't help much with the IMEI part but it's good that you made a backup. There are some other threads here that deal with that.

First I want to thank u for this detailed information

I own a lg ls980(sprint version) it was on jelly bean when I got it but last year I rooted it and installed twrp(using freegee since autorec caused sofbrick to my phone) then I flashed cm12.1(android 5.1.1) and everything worked fine

Yesterday I decide to flashed cm13 or any other marshamellow based ROM so I found a post on xda (https://xdaforums.com/sprint-g2/help/sprint-lg-g2-ls980-how-to-install-cm13-t3273187) that said that the bootstack and I have to install bumped twrp(blastegator) and a hybrid bootstack(https://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/development/boot-g2-hybrid-bootstacks-t3183219) so I installed bumped twrp first and everything was OK but after I installed the bootstack my phone bricked ( I got secure booting error ) I was unable to boot neither in recovery or system so I had to unbrick my phone (forcing qbulk mode and using skr tool) and reflashed a stock ROM and installed twrp and cm12.1 again

Everything work fine but I really want to to upgrade to cm13 so what should I do about the bootstack (I am sure that the problem is because of the bootstack because I tried twice and in both case my phone brick after I install the hybrid bootstack and before I install cm13)

Thanks in advance for your help :)
