Ever since I changed the screens on my g2 which wasn't a success, it will only go to the LG screen and either cut off or go totally black. Is there a way to extract my storage to a laptop or some external storage

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
When your phone boots to the LG Logo then goes black (either from attempting recovery mode or a normal boot), plug your phone into the PC and see if it gets detected. It's possible it may be on the homescreen or twrp but just not displaying.

Do you know if it's just the display that's faulty, or touch detection as well?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 93fuelslut:
Its just the display not the touch detection. Cause I changed the digitizer also. I just hope its not more then just the screen like a motherboard issue.

OK thanks, I'll see if a friends laptop will pick up my phone.

I need help!

So I flashed cm12 nightly and got some error message at the end. Despite the error I was an idiot and tried to boot anyway.

My phone got stuck on LG logo and when I try to manually boot back to recovery by holding pwr and volume down and when the lg logo shows up again it flashes so quickly I have no time to release and press again the buttons. Also when I try to go to download mode when phone turned off when I hold volume up and plug the usb cable it does not go download mode nor fastboot mode and instead tries to boot normally and of course gets stuck to LG logo again. Only mode I can get to is when I hold all three buttons at the same time is the weird screen where everything is written in Korean language except the IMEI number at the bottom.

Please help me get back to recovery mode!

I'm using the international variant (d802)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SergioRmz:
I don't know if it's the same issue, but once I was unable to enter recovery mode on my LG G2, I just had to wait until the phone had no enough battery to reboot and then press the buttons to enter recovery. If your phone stays turned on in the LG logo, have you tried to long press the power button? Remember that it would be the same that removing the battery. If you do that, then when starting you should be able to access recovery mode and change your ROM or flash another one.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicceti:
Yes it stays at the LG logo fading the LED light in and out in blue and green. When I long press power to turn the phone off and then try to boot to recovery using the buttons it just stays at the LG logo again. I'm getting hopeless with my 500 dollar paperweight :(
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SergioRmz:
How much do you wait to turn it on again? You should wait about 3 or 4 minutes to be sure that the device is actually off.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicceti:
I haven't tried to wait that long. Just turned off my phone and now I'll wait some time. By the way when I try to enter recovery from powered off state like now, do I just long press the buttons or do I need to release and press again when the LG logo appears?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SergioRmz:
Sorry for the delay in my answer. You have to long press the buttons to turn it on and when the LG logo appears release them and long press the buttons again.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicceti:
Okay, so I have been doing it right all the time but still couldn't enter recovery. Even tried the trick to let the battery go out of juice but it didn't help. Thank you anyway.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
First press the powerbutton at least 10, better 15 secs. Then you can be sure the device really is off. Otherwise you will see the backlight in a dark room. Then press the Vol- and the power button at the same time, wait until the LG logo shows up, quickly release them and press them again. If this doesn't work, turn the device off again (15secs. ;) ) and then press the vol- and the power button again, but when the LG logo shows up, relase them and press (and hold) the vol+ and the vol- button at the same time
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicceti:
OH MY GOD it worked! I got into recovery! Thank you so much! :)I have been trying to find a fix this for like 10 hours but I never found that button combination.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doodier:
I still got nowhere with my phone. I can't get into recovery, download mode or any other mode I can think of. Every time I boot up the phone it goes to the main screen no matter which button combo I use and there it just says the "unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped". The peculiar thing is - the shut-down button is working and when I press OK on the warning, I am able to navigate through the shut-down menu (i.e. shut down the phone, airplane mode on/off,..). Not that it helps with anything, just mentioning it because it's strange.

Is the only chance I got the Linux solution? If so, I am not really sure which files to download. I have a 32GB model and the only file I found was this

BIN_LGD802AT-00-V10b-SEA-XX-SEP-04-2013-32G

Unfortunately I do not know if this is the same as the one I had on my phone before. Any help? Any pointers?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicceti:
So I am now able to get into recovery using that button combination but I encountered a new problem. I have tried to flash couple of different ROMs and also tried to restore one backup that I had but every time I try to boot it gets stuck at the LG logo again and sometimes I get the "secure boot error" message at the top and it shuts down.

Hi, yesterday I soft bricked my D802, so I flashed stock 4.2.2 from LG flash tool. Then I rooted the phone, flashed bumped twrp and then flashed cm12. Now I want to flash stock LP FR rom v2.0.1, do I need do flash any bootloader first or just the rom?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raulx222:
Nope..I think the KK Bootloader is already included in zip. Read the "How to install".

1) Make sure you have a BUMPed TWRP installed

2)Wipe advanced all - NOT INTERNAL STORAGE!!!

3)Flash FR v2.0.1

4)Reboot and setup your phone

Attention! If you want to go on AOSP ROMs after you flash FR, you need first to flash the JB bootloader.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
A question like this is more suited for the What's your next smartphone / What should I buy thread. Honestly though, there's more support for the International version as D802 covers a lot of regions. I have no idea what you mean by the screen flickering issue, but I own a D802 and have never had any screen flickering. Sounds like a hardware bug to me.

If you can't login to your Google account, then that's a problem with Google, not your device (assuming all 7 layers of your networking stack are functioning properly). Have you tried logging into your Google account over a web browser from a PC?

Definitely the D802. You have way more support. Just remember that the Korean variant is the only one with a removable (but smaller) battery. ;)

As [MENTION=6387591]d00lz[/MENTION] already said, make sure your internet connection and all this stuff is working and you are able to sign in with the same account on a PC. If this doesn't help, perform a factory reset. That might help.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
I don't think the stock kernel supports custom settings (at least I've never seen someone doing this with a stock kernel). You most probably have to flash a recovery and a custom kernel (e.g. dorimanx) and then try to set it up again.

I am running the latest stock 4.4.2 rooted...

If I want to download a custom recovery for my phone...which app is better to install a recovery for my phone?

1) TWRP manager

2) flashify

4) autorec

Who's responsibility is voice quality in whatsapp recording? Whatsapp for not using the proper libraries, or the kernel?

Since I moved from Nexus 5 audio quality in whatsapp recording messages is terrible. It sounds like the multi-microphone filter isn't running. It runs for phone calls, and runs for video recording, but not in whatsapp. I can tell based on the background noise that gets through sms the clipping in the audio that doesn't exist in either camera or on phone (recording voice greetings).

I'm on simple kernel v6 but had the problem with dorimanx's kernel as well.

If it's whatsapp I'll contact them for comment.

Hello everyone. I have a problem,i cant sign in into my "Google account" but i can access to my account on browsers.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Those are three different "types".

Autorec downgrades your Bootloader to JB (because at the very beginning a recovery was only with the JB bootloader possible) and flashes TWRP. Most ROMs (or at least) AOSP ROMs need a JB Bootloader to work.

Flashify simply flashes the recovery. BUT: Make sure you flash only bumped files through flashify. Otherwise you will get a "secure boot error" and your device won't boot. That's because on KK bootloader is NO OTHER way to install anything than sign a package the same way as LG does (some devs analyzed their signature and was able to recreate it). That's not only for recoverys the case but also for kernels. That's why I still recommend Autorec.

The TWRP manager has the same problem as Flashify. Additionally you are able to change themes of the recovery and so on. Once you've installed TWRP (no matter which Bootloader you are using) it's still a great app.

Ah and btw: The only way you can make sure which model you have at 100% is opening the device and look what's written on the motherboard. But there are several more tricks you can try out, we allready discussed in this thread.

Most probably Whattsapp. But I don't know. How was it on Stock ROM? Don't contact Whatsapp. You will only be frustrated and never get a serious answer.

Reboot into recovery, wipe cache, reboot and hope it works again. If it doesn't backup your stuff and perform a factory reset.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
Make sure the Time & Date of your device are set. If they aren't set accurately a sign in error can occur.

If setting the Time & Date didn't help, try the following (this requires root).

Download & Install Terminal Emulator from the PlayStore.

Open Terminal Emulator and type the following commands,

su
rm -r /data/data/com.android.providers.settings

Reboot.

Try logging into your Google Account.

If both solutions failed, triple check your network settings and try one last time. If it still fails, do as [MENTION=5744495]Sunandroid[/MENTION] said.

hi everyone. I've ruined my phone by restoring a backup and the phone kept saying "unfortunately process Phone has stopped" - "unfortunately process com.android.phone has stopped" - "unfortunately process contact storage" has stopped' and many more... it shows status bar and NAV-buttons and connects to the network for 0.2 seconds and instantly disconnects and then it happens again. i don't even get to go to the home screen. i tried factory reset but didn't work, Tried flashable zips of stock rom but nothing changed, flashing a clean stock KDZ won't even work(even CSE flash mode), my phone doesn't go to recovery mode(TWRP or Stock) either. what i think the problem originates from is a couple of files in the data partition that are still left over or some integrated updates to the system... or maybe the partitions are harmed

one thing that you might wanna know is that every time i re-flash a KDZ and it boots up, it shows the 'android is upgrading' - 'optimizing app X of Y' page, though it shouldn't. and after showing the massages of ' ... process has stopped' after a couple of minutes it restarts and it goes over the process again....

I've un-destroyed my phone a lot of time but this is different, it's like the flashing and restoring doesn't actually do anything and just moves a progress bar but doesn't do anything, I'm on stock recovery and stock rom(which doesn't boot or go to the recovery mode).

Is there an xposed module that allows the on screen buttons to dissapear after a couple seconds or dissapear when the keyboard pops up. I keep hitting the home button on accident
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
You could install a Custom ROM that supports the feature such as CloudyG2, or there's GravityBox (AOSP ROMs Only) in the Xposed Repo which comes with a huge amount of tweak options, including navigation bar mods.

However there are other applications that may help such as G2 Tweakbox and G2 Xposed.

Note: I have used none of the above solutions, but have only heard good things. Just don't have more then 1 running at the same time. Conflicts may occur, and we don't want conflicts.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Not sure what you mean by "I can access to my account,If i do factory data reset?". You will loose all your data (that's why I said you should backup first), but after the factory reset you should be able to sign in to your google account again.

Flash a kdz again (did you flash a KK one?). Then shut down your phone, press the vol- and the powerbutton until the lg logo shows up, release them and press (and hold) the vol+ and the vol- button at the same time and hardreset it this way. Should help. Otherwise it's most probably a hardware issue.

Not sure, but maybe it is possible with gravity box. But this is for AOSP based ROMs only. So it depends on the ROM you are using...

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Yeah, the picture quality on AOSP ROMs is pretty bad because the source code for the camera is not open-source.

To get the ROM: read a lot, but:

Root your device

Install autorec (downgrades the Bootloader and flashes TWRP)

Flash this recovery: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705/page121

Flash the KK Bootloader (Linked in the OP of the Cloudy ROM)

Flash the ROM

No, you still have to know which variant you have: quotation of the OP:

So find out what device you really have before flashing anything. What does the Android-Device-Manager say?

No way. This is also software which isn't open-source and because of this hard for devs to implement this feature.

Weird thing: It seems, like "reboot recovery" typed in a terminal emulator doesn't work, but if you do it with the ADB it works...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
Are you trying these commands on a stock unrooted phone? Reboot Recovery won't work without running su before hand. ADB will automatically grant itself as a root user depending on the ROM you have installed. Are you sure when you start adb it's not automatically gaining root? In your boot.img there's a file called default.prop. In that file there's a value named ro.secure. ro.secure=1 means adb will not automatically gain root. ro.secure=0 means adb will automatically gain root.

However, after some research try the following commands,

adb shell
recovery --wipe_cache

Here is the list other arguments/switches that can be used :

--send_intent=anystring - write the text out to recovery.intent

--update_package=path - verify install an OTA package file

--wipe_data - erase user data (and cache), then reboot

--wipe_cache - wipe cache (but not user data), then reboot

--set_encrypted_filesystem=on|off - enables / diasables encrypted fs

Edit: Just remembered you said no root rights >_< I'm a idiot.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
lol. No, I'm just wondering. And imho "reboot recovery" works without su. At least when I tried it on my phone it rebooted flawlessly into recovery. Maybe the mate I'm asking for is just too dumb to enter it properly...

I said that because I took the IOroot bashscript apart. In there is the command "adb reboot recovery" and as we all know it works. That's why I said it seems like the command only works over adb on non-rooted phones. But that's weird. So I'm pretty sure, he's just doing wrong.
