Pardon If I am being obtuse, but I'm thinking about getting the OTA but I want to make absolutely sure before I do:

Can we roll back to 4.2 after a successful update to KitKat?

Going to try to follow directions here to get root to persist on the upgrade, but in the event root doesnt carry over I want to make sure there is a plan B besides waiting for someone too get root again. People mentioning that the international version doesn't allow roll back is making me overly cautious so I am looking for that explicit "yes you can roll back"

Cheers,

Faugly
[G2 General] madboymatt:
I'm rooted on Mahdi Rom right now. I'm not sure if it's worth all the trouble to go back to stock Rom and remover twrp just to get the OTA. I have an nandroid backup of stock Rom, so I could always go back to that, remove twrp and then grab the ota... But a lot of ppl here seem to be having trouble getting rooted again.

It might be best to give it a few days until someone puts out the stock ota Rom that we can just flash in custom recovery.
[G2 General] jpom18:
I have a Rogers G2 and did not have root carry over initially. I was able to upgrade via OTA and roll back a half dozen times using the Rogers 4.2.2 KDZ and the instructions here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432476. FYI my G2 has never had a custom recovery, not sure if it would make a difference but just so you know. Also note that rolling back following those instruction will most likely require you to do a factory reset at the end so you will most likely lose your data on the phone, if the KDZ doesn't wipe it the reset will.

I finally managed to get root carried over when I rooted 4.2.2 with ioroot24 (ioroot10 did not work) and turned on survival mode on SuperSU Pro and unchecked the Enable SuperSU box (essentially disabling it) before applying the OTA update. Not sure if there are other combos that will work.
[G2 General] etkuo:
I am trying to OTA and it is giving me an error of 0x117008 during the update. After rebooting it says "This device is suspected in rooting. Software update is not available for rooted device."

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
[G2 General] Faugly:
Thanks Jpom! upgraded and still have root, it all went smooth the first try thanks to your help.

For others thinking about doing it this was my situation/experience:

Started out rooted with ioroot v10, no custom recovery.

-Just downloaded ioroot v24 and re-rooted.

-deactivated, uninstalled Xposed

-turned on SuperSU survival mode

-unchecked the Enable SuperSU

-Did *not* move SU apk out of Sys

Cheers,

Faugly
[G2 General] tobesedated:
Worked for me as well...I think that's the key/s...SuperSu PRO with survival mode on and SuperSu DISABLED...must be on stock recovery though or you'll have major issues with OTA...yay lol...now I can fish out my Titanium backup and enjoy my rooted benefits lol.

Thank you
[G2 General] Haesslich:
No, it doesn't default as a system app. As I noted, mine was NOT one, and I just stuck with Survival Mode. I did make sure that all other tweaks were disabled prior to OS update.

I used that version to root the first time as well. May explain why i never saw an issue.

And for the record, I didn't disable SuperSU, nor did I unroot. I just had Survival Mode on.
[G2 General] AlwaysLimey:
Had the same problem. Download the LG PC SUITE software to your PC and check for OS software update through that. Works NP.

[G2 General] BNish17:
Will this still work if I don't have twrp recovery installed? I didn't install twrp on my phone. I'm going to try this today, just need to have all the info first.

Thank you so much for your help :) YOUR THE BEST

Description of the problem:

Your LG G2 D802 is living this situation:

1- Rooted and got OTA

2- No Download mode

3- No recovery mode

4- Secure booting error

5- LG detected as qhsusb_bulk in device manager

6- When you boot your device it shows only LG logo with secure booting error, then the screen goes black while your phone is still on.

7- Other symptoms

Quoted from..... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2582142

If those problems are yours then yes this will work for you using the partitions from here

http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/D803/Stock_Firmware/RGRS_10C_Partitions

Just make sure the TWRP you download is for Rogers. Actually here's a link to mine https://www.dropbox.com/s/xpemo1s9woo2am3/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-g2rog.img

When you are done you automatically boot into TWRP so you will have to have ROM to flash as well seeing as you don't have an OS on your phone either. Any ROM for our phone will do as long as you have something. Then you can flash the KDZ using this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432476. This will put you with a fully stock, KITKAT LG G2.

If you need anything else I can try and help you, otherwise good luck!!

PS if it all works for you, the hardest and scariest part come when, after you've flashed the ROM in TWRP, you have to press the reboot button. I swear I was shaking lol. Fearing it wouldn't work but it did :)

You will also lose Root
[G2 General] Andrew_han:
okay so here's where I'm at. i downgraded to 4.2.2, rooted, took the ota, now on 4.4 with root. then I attempted to install twrp, but when I try to boot into recovery I get that secure boot error, phone boots fine normally just not into recovery. what do I do to get custom recovery?
[G2 General] crzykiller:
Seems like nobody read around here... Custom recovery does not work on KitKat unless you have the patched kernel and since we don't have the kernel source for our Canadian G2 we can't have a patched kernel so no custom recovery, the only way to get out of it is to redo your whole process of going back to 4.2.2 rooting and going to 4.4.2
[G2 General] etkuo:
Just an update to my situation. So I followed this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 and flashed back to Stock using the Rogers 4.2.2. Then I rooted with ioroot24, went into SuperSU to disable superuser and enabled survival mode, then OTA to 4.4.2 as others people have done, and was successful this time without encountering the 0x117008 error. By the way I thought while flashing back to stock I will loose all my data but I guess apparently not!
[G2 General] ListenerJubatus:
So as I mentioned in the other thread, going by Facebook comments on said carrier's Facebook page and on MobileSyrup, the majority of G2's on SaskTel are not showing up with 4.4 avaliable to them. I tried through both the OTA updater and PC Suite; no dice on either.

We deduced that it may have been because of the D803b10a firmware revision; SaskTel did not roll out the D803b10d revision that Bell did on its models. Our model is the Bell Wireless Alliance version, which as far as I know, is almost identical to the Bell version, and would also be used on MTS (which however, does not have the G2 it seems), Telebec, and Bell Aliant.

So here's my awkward hypothesis; has anyone with a G2 on these carriers gotten 10d, and subsequently, KitKat?

New 4.4.2 Root

Just did it on D803 Rogers and my phone is now rooted on stock kit Kat ROM

[G2 General] ARchamps:
I'm on Bell stock 4.2.2 and rooted. I got the OTA, so what is the best way of going about upgrading?
[G2 General] agent3m:
I just upgraded my D803 Rogers to Kitkat. The easiest way (although you lose root) is using the LG Mobile Support Tool from the LG website and upgrade from there. It'll identify that there is a new upgrade available for you. Again you lose root access.

HOWEVER, to gain root access, I'm just about to try this. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701613 It looks like a few with a D803 just did it and it worked. This new root for stock KitKat was just posted yesterday March 31st. I'll update this post with my results.
[G2 General] tobesedated:
Google ioroot24 that's what I did last week and have been rooted since..very easy
[G2 General] agent3m:
Success!! I now have root access on 4.4.2 Stock KitKat on my D803....

EXCEPT for me ...

for some reason when following instruction from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48709232&postcount=869 using the following instructions on my linux machine:

4.4.2 method:

Download and extract the latest IOroot.zip

Enable USB Debugging. VZW users must also enable ethernet mode.

Open terminal/command prompt. windows/linux users: cd into /ioroot folder. mac users cd into /ioroot/mac

(windows users can hold shift key, right click in ioroot folder. Select "open command window" option.

1. adb devices

2. adb reboot recovery

(when booted in recovery, select: 'apply update from adb' with power button)

3. adb sideload kk_root.zip

reboot when zip finishes flashing. done.

....my phone did not enter into recovery and wiped the phone back to stock 4.4.2 as if I had bought the phone. Everything was gone. I followed it again, and it worked like a charm. I verified root access but I have to reinstall everything back. Luckily I had backed my key apps using Titanium Backup.

In summary

- Backup everything you need

- ioroot25 definitely works on my D803 updated OTA 4.4.2
[G2 General] ARchamps:
Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention that I am also on a custom recovery (TWRP). Using the tool, wouldn't a custom recovery cause bootloop or brick? What's the best way to revert to stock (unroot, stock recovery)?

Thanks again.
[G2 General] agent3m:
I had TWRP as well. For me using the tool while having TWRP did not cause a bootloop BUT it did wipe out everything on my phone and installed KitKat 4.4.2. Luckily I had backed up all my frequently used apps using Titanium backup and restored them after getting root back with IOroot25.
[G2 General] ARchamps:
Thanks! I will be trying this tonight.
[G2 General] ARchamps:
The update won't load via the tool... I keep getting an error. Any ideas?
[G2 General] Dene_Bluesman:
Probably better off getting the patched kernel and baseband and flash cloudypro 2, kitkat goodies and get to keep twrp. I am on Bell D803 which is pretty much identical to rogers. Running CloudyPro 2 and dr87 simple kernel.
[G2 General] ListenerJubatus:
And today on "So Close, Yet So Far", SaskTel finally pushed out that minor 10d update that Bell did back in December. This means that we are theoretically able to get KitKat on every G2 sold by SaskTel now.

Now, I wait.
[G2 General] madboymatt:

Just a quick question: where did you take the custom recovery for the kitkat update? I just want to flash the dr87 kernel on my rooted telus d803...i can use flashify but it needs a custom recovery to flash zip file...thanks
[G2 General] madboymatt:
I used freegee from the app store and flashed twrp, worked well.
[G2 General] JasonBourne.Qc:
You've installed custom recovery on stock kitkat using FreeGee? I heard there's no recovery available yet for the d803...
[G2 General] ameenshake:
How exactly do I go about installing these? I am on 4.4 Stock and I am rooted. I tried installing recovery with FreeGee and it didnt work.

Also is it possible to flash a philz on Stock?

And, how exactly do I go about installing CloudyPro? Do I have to go to revert back to 4.2 and flash it from recovery along with KK baseband and kernel?
[G2 General] madboymatt:
Yeah, you're right. I flashed it on 4.2.2...my bad.

Recently I have installed Mahdi ROM along with KK_Kernel_D803 however for some reason when I boot the device it stuck on LG logo with "Security Error".

Hey guys, how do i tell the difference between a Bell G2 vs a Rogers G2 (or Telus for that matter). Phone was unlocked when I got it, and i'm on Koodo as my provider (Olleh now in South Korea).

I picked mine up off Kijiji, and original box is in Canada still (alas I am studying abroad for a semester).

I also rooted it and installed CloudyG3 on the day of purchase as well....

Also Gabre, I ran on Mahdi rom in the past and it was fine for me, though that's just too simple of an explanation.
[G2 General] BillyD325:
I've been running Mahdi for a couple months now and have had no problems. Perhaps a bad download?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikon5400:
My T-Mobile speeds are pretty good. According to speed test pointing to the same server my speeds for the last few months were

4g (non-lte) up to 15 down, up to 5 up

LTE 35-50 down, 20-25 up

Yesterday I had issues with LTE, it was around 5 down. I thought too many people must have gotten T-Mobile in my area

Then I tested it again at night, same deal. I switched to 4g hspa (GSM\WCDMA Auto) and my download was crazy fast, up to 25mbps, while up was still under 5. Then I tried switching back to LTE (GSM\WCDMA\LTE Auto), but the icon wouldn't change to LTE. My samsung sitting a few inches away was showing LTE, but I didn't test samsung because it has used all high speed data. I rebooted the phone, still showed 4G, not LTE. Then I pulled the sim out of HTC One and put it in Nexus 5 - Nexus showed LTE right away and tested at over 35mbps. Put back into HTC One - this time LTE showed up, but speeds were still less than 5. (I did all tests at exact same place, with the phones laying in the same spot on the desk). I called T-Mobile tech support - no help

Then I took HTC One closer to the window, and speed went up to 30. Put it back on the same spot on the desk and speeds are fine, over 30. Tested 4g hspa - under 15. Today, speeds are up to 50, while 4g hspa again under 15.

What's the deal? Did T-Mobile guy do something? Hardware issue with my HTC One?

To summarize:

1. When LTE on HTC One was very slow, HSPA was very fast and Nexus 5 LTE was very fast (I didn't not test Nexus hspa unfortunately)

2, When switching from LTE to 4g hspa, switching back didn't work. Rebooting didn't help either. Trying the same thing today - it works but takes a while. I noticed if I switch from 4g hspa to LTE and then switch wifi ON and then OFF, LTE comes back right away. But without toggling WIFI it takes over a minute.

3. One other interesting thing - when I place a call LTE switches to 4g. After you hang up it switches to LTE, BUT -

On HTC One - it switches right away!!

On Samsung - always takes a little time. maybe even over a minute

On Nexus 5 - sometimes a few seconds, other times up 5 minutes!!!!

Why HTC One is able to switch to LTE right away, while Nexus 5 may take up to 5 minutes? is there an easy way (via some program) to force Nexus and Samsung to switch right away?

Thanks.

P.S. Another issue with HTC One - wifi is much weaker when further away from the router. I'd get 5mbps where Nexus 5 and Samsung would get 15-20. I had same issue with my previous nexus 5 but my new nexus 5 seems to be much better on wifi now. I know it has a lot to do with the router and replacing the router may fix the issue, BUT from my experience phones that aren't ok with home router may not be OK with public wifi either. I tested the public wifi with my old nexus 5, it was 30-50% slower than samsung.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leonhard1707:
Hi, the phone (GT-I9300) is at the already at the repair shop (in Beijing), but I think I'm getting ripped off. My phone suddenly got bricked (horribly, no response of any kind) and the repair guy gave the following information:

1. The "memory" is fried.

2. Need to replace the memory and also the CPU because they are "a set".

3. My data is lost.

4. Cost estimate: 500 Chinese Yuan (US$ 80).

I'm trying to make sense of it. The guy is pretty shady but I had little choice. The phone is not under warranty, and although I turned to the the local Samsung center first, those sons of b*****s won't even look at it because it was purchased outside of China.

From what he said (memory faulty, data lost) I understand that the problem is the eMMC (which seem to be consistent with some of the "sudden death syndromes" reported online); the question is why replacing it allegedly requires also replacing the CPU... One theory is that he just wants an excuse to steal my original CPU and put a cheap one instead. Alternatively, maybe the eMMC really has to correspond to the CPU, and if I want to keep the cost under $80 I must get a cheaper eMMC+CPU set?

A motherboard design chart with the location of the eMMC and CPU will be really helpful.

Thanks!

For some reason my phone keeps battery-% on some numbers way too long (compared with the day before). I was on 85%, and put it on the charger. 20 minutes later it was on 98%, but another 20 minutes later it was still on 98%. Some time later I found it at 99% and unplugged but the % immediately went down to 98%. I left it overnight to charge 'til 100%.
