What is your current Bootloader? JB or KK?

Try flashing BUMPed TWRP by Blastagator, HERE.

BUMPed TWRP will run on both JB and KK aboot.

P.S Please link me to the TWRP .zip you downloaded.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Au5t1n:
Well since I used AutoRec it should be JB right? Here's the .zip link http://dl.twrp.me/g2vzw/twrp-2.8.6.0-vs980.zip

I'll give this a try and let you know :thumbup: but it will probably take me a couple days to get to it, I'll be busy for awhile.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
Okay no problem. You're right, if you used AutoRec you're going to be on the JB aboot.

Not too sure why you're being told you have an unsupported aboot image.

For the sake of it, it might be worth testing out which Bootloader you have by doing the 2 methods below to access Recovery.

PWR + VOL DWN > PWR + VOL DWN = JB Bootloader

PWR + VOL DWN > VOL DWN + VOL UP = KK Bootloader

Hopefully Blastagator's BUMPed TWRP works without a problem since it will use the BUMP exploit, not Loki.

(JB aboot is vulnerable to both Loki and Bump exploits).

If anyone knows why Au5t1n is getting an unsupported aboot image error during the flash of Loki'd TWRP with a JB aboot, please let me/us know :good:.

How can I update my G2 by update center

my phone is root
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
What exactly do you mean by Update Center?

There's 2 main ways to update.. LG's PC Suite application and FOTA.

More information on LG's PC Suite can be found by visiting this link.

More information on FOTA (Firmware-Over-The-Air) can be found by visiting this link

You can also update firmware by flashing a KDZ/TOT file to your device. For that refer to the Return to Stock Firmware link in my signature.

Before you go updating, remember you do not want to update if you have a custom recovery installed like TWRP/CWM, you will bootloop.

If your phone is only rooted without a custom recovery you can update, but will lose root in the process.

O.K.

I'm going to try to find info on decompiling & replacing the .img file.

Since I'm dealing with the kernel, I'm thinking that maybe this is a process- it seems I've ran across something to do with building/compiling kernels-maybe AOSP...?

Anyway, thank you very much for the info and direction in which to look

Sorry to interrupt the discussion, My G2 is dying, HELP! :((

::::Entered recovery mode and wiped everything, then unintentionally CSE flashed a 16GB ROM on 32 GB LG G2 D802, touch gone:::::

It all started when I rooted this device, installed TWRP and then flashed a custom ROM, cloudyG3.. I noticed something wrong with the sensitivity of touch.. In a few days, i figured out by drawing lines in QuickNote app, that there is a dead zone on touch screen of the shape of a straight row.. I understood that this was not the sensitivity problem.. I gave a hard reset, but no use!...... I thought may be I should try wiping in recovery mode...

Then I accidentally wiped out everything in recovery mode (checked all boxes to give it a full wipe). The device entered bootloop,, I didnt even have the USB debugging enabled... But somehow I put it back to its stock firmware... I downloaded a Stock ROM by verifying through its IMEI, and I didnt know it was a 16GB firmware (namely D80220C_00.kdz)! flashed it on 32gb lg d802, (gave a CSE flash by using LG Flash Tool) and things became worse!...

(1) IMEI is NULL, (though I backed up EFS in initial stages)

(2) The device is now unrooted, cant restore EFS backup..

(3) Touch gone totally crazy now

(4) 3845 #*802# code also not working(It took me 2 hours to type this little code in dialpad, due to the erratic touch)

(5) LG OSP not detecting my device

(6) Phone is showing 10GB storage..

I then downloaded a 32GB stock and CSE flashed it on phone... Its name was D80220B_32gb_g0dsend313.kdz... Now the phone is showing 32GB in "about phone>hardware information".. But still only 10GB is usable, touch is still bad, code is still not working, and still no IMEI..

However I managed to root the device using STUMP, Installed SuperSU (with the touch not working, it took me 3 days to do this). But i was unable to install TWRP...

Everything went wrong... I just tried to get most of it, It was my first experience.. Before this I never even entered the developer options, I had no Idea of such things... somebody Help Plzz???
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omfal:
I flashed successfully Lollipop on my G2 after reverting back to stock, thanks for the help with my previous question.

Now I would like G2 tweaksbox and therefore I need Xposed. However I would like to install it without changing recovery, because by changing the recovery I will loose the option to receive OTA updates.

Another reason for not changing recovery is that (if I remember correctly) it needs a patched kernel and I already experienced a worsening in the double tap to wake performances last time, under KK after Autorec (and yes I went to the hidden menu where I executed the command to restore the double tap).

Is there a way to flash xposed or any other thing that needs a custom recovery, without the custom recovery? doing it manually via terminal or via pdb (or adb? I forgot) on my PC is also fine.

Thanks
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
If you have an EFS Backup somewhere on your PC, don't worry about it. Take care about the phone and its functionality first. Gonna upload the latest KitKat kdz for you ASAP. If you still know your IMEI you can enter it here and get it. It should be the 20g file. Flash that again using the flashtool. Then the touchscreen issues are hopefully gone. Afterwards you should be fully stock and able to reroot, installing recovery and restoring EFS (including the ROM you used when you backed up your EFS; otherwise you are gonna end up in another brick). Afterwards you can do another EFS flash and should be fully stock including your proper EFS partition. Personally never had this issue, but that's the way I'd go and theoretically definitely should work.

Looked up the VZW thread and one of the newer apk files posted toward the end of the thread fixed the wifi hot spot. The wifi app actually works better wit the newer apk as all functions are unlocked. The phones feels smoother and crisper on 4.4 as well.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unchman14:
So I've run into the issue that a handful of people have had. My VS980 on 4.2.2 was rooted and had CWM recovery (6.0.4.7) installed. I foolishly did the OTA update. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop, everytime returning the CWM. I can't get into Download Mode. I can get into Factory Hard Reset, but when I do it, it just brings me back into CWM. I was able to sideload and push SU and the CM ROM .zips to the device with no issues. But installing the ROM, with and without installing SU doesn't do anything. Still stuck in the loop. I figured if I could just get any ROM to boot, I could go ahead and flash the stock ROM and start from square one. When I choose to reboot or power off, I get the following message:

ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?

THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE.

- No

- Yes - Disable recovery flash

I was also able to push the KitKat 24a ROM to the device, and go through the installation, but no success.

Any suggestions or help?

System Data space issues

Hey guys, since this is a Noob friendly thread LOL, I thought I would ask my questions which I've been trying to resolve the last couple of days without luck. I do apologise if this has already been asked and answered. I installed TWRP and installed Cyanogenmod 11 onto the phone, which I'm loving and really enjoying.

However, I've noticed after doing this that my System Data file is now sitting at 8 gigs and I have no idea on how to clear this etc. Can anyone or DEVs assist or advise on how to fix this problem. I've gone through all the basic stuff, like un-installing apps etc. But still nothing. The system data seems to be growing on a daily basis...

Flashing Telus Rom on ATT D800 - question

Hi,

I've been flashing roms on my ATT D800 to get a feel of the different options each rom has. I tried a Bell Canada D803 rom and I really liked how smooth it was compared to the stock ATT rom. Only issue was that every time I rebooted the phone, it would run me through the setup again.

Flashed back to ATT stock and after using it for awhile, I've come to the conclusion that I get much better signal on the Bell stock rom. I have the Telus D803 stock rom and plan on flashing it on my phone. Am I required to use the ATT boot.img for it to work properly? I understand that it will change my device code from D800 to D803. This doesn't bother me as I am using this phone with Telus.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

since you are on kk you can check out this mod that has the option to hide nav bar/ring LG Pie Support, as for the bootloader check out AutoRec also just for your information the g2 bootloader is locked but the recoveries have a loki patch which allows us to flash as we want like if the bootloader was unlocked, just check out the g2 android development thread and as long as the rom/kernel mentions d803, it should be ok to flash but be aware if you are on kk make sure the rom/kernel is for kk, if you are gonna flash a jb/aosp rom you are gonna need a jb baseband and obviously don't flash a jb kernel on your kk device

I have an EE4G Sim which doesn't work on this phone (known issue - plus I can't get 3G very often either!) but my question is this.

Disabling Knock On with proximity sensor in a Custom ROM

Hey Guys,

I´ve been running CM 11 M5 on my D 802 for quite some time now and have been really happy with it.

However there's one problem: My phone will often turn on in my pocket due to the Knock On feature, especially when I'm sweating a bit more.

In the Stock ROM there seems to be a feature which disables Knock On and turning on the phone in general when the proximity sensor is covered. Therefore the phone should not unlock in your pocket, however this feature is removed when flashing a Custom ROM.

Is it possible to get this feature back on CM11?

Today I already managed to do 4 phone calls with my leg without noticing it at all...

Thanks in advance:D

Idk if the G2 Tweaksbox is already updated. You might have to take the G3 one. Just be aware of this issue. If I'm not mistaken you can flash the zip using flashify. Alternatively you can take the updater-script apart and replace the files manually. xD But I can't give you warranty for this procedure. Better backup your stuff first, in case you have to go back to stock with the kdz method...

But Flashify lets me choose between CWM, or TWRP/Philz.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Cr*p I even tried it out. But didn't face this issue, because I've installed TWRP. As already said, you can take the updaterscript apart and look what's written in there.

You will just need a root explorer (like ES or something like that). Open the zip and somewher should be a file called something like "updater script" open it and look up which files of the zip have to be stored where. Move the files set the proper permissions (usually CHMod 755), clear the dalvik and the cache (you can do it using the file explorer too; just have a look for the folders named like that and delete their contents. Then reboot quickly.

But again. Use TI backup first and backup your internal SD first. It might go wrong and you might have to go back to stock using the kdz way!!!

Sorry, but if I don't answer (at least I can't see one by me), I don't know. I guess it's software. But as already said Idk and Idk if there is a fix either. You could try cleaning cache and data of this app (Hidden menu & CpuZ) in the settings.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omfal:
I checked the script and it's a lot of stuff. I don't feel comfortable with so much commands to do be executed quickly, because I think something would stop working in the meanwhile and it would mean having to reinstall and lose a lot of time.

At least I will wait for the final version of the module and for an update to G2 tweaksbox.

Now that I think about it: is there a way to flash only the recovery, starting from the kdz? I could install CWM and then go back to the original recovery. However, I remember for sure that TWRP was modifying the kernel (or at least installing a different one), I have no info about CWM. Do you know something about it?

I know about it, I did it already, only the need of a custom recovery stops me because if I lose OTA I will be forced to download future updates from some untrusted websites, potentially opening the door to malware someone may put in those unofficial updates (I don't mean most of the honest users around here, but one is enough and it is a risk).

I also thought about executing the update script manually, from a terminal, but I read in the beginning that it expects external parameters ("OUTFD=$2; ZIP=$3") that I don't know. I'm looking online but I found nothing yet.

You are getting something wrong: Autorec only flashes a modified Kernel because the KK system must work with the JB bootloader. If you flash a bumped recovery using flashify you don't have to worry about this. You can extract the recovery.img out of the kdz (google for finding such tools) and flash it using flashify.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Sorry I thought about that so late... ^^

Edit

: damn, won't work. Bump has been patched with LP. So no way!

Edit2: But what might work:

Downgrade Bootloader to KK -> Thinking about how to do that, but that should be possible using a Terminal emulator. Works perfect in Autorec. Don't reboot yet!

Flash the Bumped Recovery using flashify -> The aboot.img from point one could maybe be flashed through flashify too.

Reboot into recovery (System won't boot anymore)

Flash XPosed binaries -> The flashing-order in recovery doesn't matter

Flash the LP bootloader

flash stock recovery -> If you can flash the KK aboot.img using flashify above this can be done after the reboot using flashify too.

reboot -> LP should boot again.

But instead of doing this it's probably faster to just get a permanent recovery and just flashing a kdz before taking OTAs...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z3pp3lin:
I understand now but I've been on the Xposed thread from the beginning and I've never seen an alternate way mentioned to get Xposed on any device without a recovery. It's only in alpha so give it time.

IMO, saying you're worried about taking an update from an untrusted site but having no problem using Xposed (modules), is like using Facebook but then worried that people might get info about you...lol

If we get another OTA, just kdz to stock and then take it.
