So it is possible? Theres so much conflicting advice regarding this phone all over the net. Last I read was that any other kdz will fail.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tahoemike00:
Same thing happened to me. My phone was working *perfect* then the OTA happened and now the knock-on feature is now broken.

And like you, I can not get into Download Mode any more! Arrrrrgh!

I was hoping to get into download mode to flash back to the previous rom before the ota hosed me.

I'm not sure when the previous build was, but after the ota it's KOT491.D80120G

(I have another LGG2 that works fine, and the build is 80220F)

Both running 4.4.2.

Another note on KOT491.D80120Gbuild -- TowelRoot will not work with this build.

Coincidentally, I "fixed" the other LGG2 with build 80220F that had a broken knock-on, using this tutorial and it worked great.

But does not work at all on the newly ota updated KOT491.D80120G

Knock-on fix:

Open dialer menu and type;

5689#*980# (Sprint)

3845#*801# (T-Mobile)

3845#*803# (AT&T Canada)

3845#*802# (International)

3845#*800# (At&T)

3845#*980# (Verizon)

And when hidden menu is showed up, go to "Settings"

and go to "Update Touch Firmware".

The touchscreen won't work until after 5 seconds, Wait for it and if touchscreen gets working, exit the menu.

Lock the phone and try knocking on the screen, It should be working

We just had this problem. Read on from this post. Invoked people: me, [MENTION=4954222]anujnahar[/MENTION], [MENTION=5644061]Art Vanderlay[/MENTION]. anujnahar probably knows best now how to do... ;) Short form: copy everything you need to your phone (D802 Baseband, ROM you want to install, gapps)

Then you have to use autorec. Then immediately boot into twrp (It will bootloop, if you try to boot up normally). There you first flash the D802 Baseband and then the ROM with Gapps you'd like to install. That's it.

If I'm not mistaken, ACIP has had a Dual-Window function in 4.4.4 builds. But i dunno, if it's still in the 5.x builds. What i heard, it runns pretty well on G2, but haven't tested myself. Other possibilities would be unofficial CM12 or AOSPA 5+ (Paranoid Android). Both run extremely well.

Ok i'm not sure i understand you. You open Chrome download the ROM and the GApps from PC then connect the phone to PC with the cable. And then move the rom and gapps to the internal storage. You must have any other folders on the phone. Do you do this? If not do it. Then write again.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
You need gapps on EVERY custom rom. At least if you want to continue using google services. Gapps aren't provided with the ROM, because Google has copyrights and told the developers to do so (smart & nice move, since they theoretically could have vorbidden gapps - including playstore - competely).

Btw: GApps stands for GoogleApps.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulwollf:
Hey guys

I dont really understand the connection between bootloader recovery and basebands...

What does AUTOREC do while "downgrading bootloader"? Why does flashify only work with Android 4...2.2?

And how to update recoveries manually if a New Version cames out?

And a question to another topic: is it right that the kdz files for 16 and 32gb versions are different?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
Flashify only works on jb because kk bootloaders are unlokifiable. The kitkat update patched the loki hack which is why autorec downgrades the bootloader to a jb one, to apply loki and flash our recovery. So the things needed for a custom recovery to work are:

Jellybean bootloader

Lokified recovery img

Lokified boot img

All flashify does is run loki and flash the recovery img so it wont work on kk.

You can just flash new recoveries in twrp like normal to upgrade them.

As for the kdz's, there's usually only one for both versions. If your worried about getting the wrong one, you can use your imei to download it from the lg server.

Am I correct in thinking that if I successfully flash cloudyg3 on my d802t, then I should then be able to flash an open euro d802 kdz via flashtool?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
No that's wrong. You have to flash the D802T kdz. If you want me to do so, I'm gonna explain why tomorrow.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poochewer:
Ok many thanks.

---------- Post added at 10:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ----------

What I meant was AFTER I already have cloudyg3 on my phone, would that then allow the euro kdz to install correctly?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
NO. Cloudy doesn't change your phone at all... The point is: Installing a D802 ROM doesn't change most partitions. Only a few will be flashed, like System partition, data, etc. The Baseband, the Boot image, the Bootloader etc. are still the ones from D802T. If you flash the kdz of the D802 (if the LG Flashtool allows you to do that) you will probably brick your phone. But all that doesn't influence your flashing possibilites. Since the ROM is pretty independent from the bootloader and so on. But DON'T try to flash the wrong kdz.

(I hope you get my explanation. ;) )

Hey guys.

I am buying the G2 this Sunday,and I was just wondering if there were any facts I should take in count when it comes to flashing ROMs and kernels.Are there any barriers like the bootloader,something like Samsung's KNOX or anything else?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kieran5492:
Hi guys,

So I rooted my g2 d802 international variant (it was vodafone but used an unlock code) I couldn't install a recovery to begin with so used auto rec app and successfully installed twrp. After backing up the stock rom I flashed this CM12 rom : http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-0-lg-g2-t2944269

Now my issue is that the phone cannot receive files from any pc when connected via usb. When I try and transfer any files an error message appears saying "the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected." I would flash back to stock however the backup section is now blank where as before it had the back up. I've installed the correct lg driver, uninstalled them and used koush universal adb driver but windows 8.1 won't let me use them for the device. At this point I gave up and decided to unroot and go back to stock using the lg flash tool kit where you download the kdz : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 I can access download mode using the power up however because my PC's don't communicate with the phone properly the process stops at around 15% and the software says the phone has been disconnected when it hasn't. Hope I provided enough information, any help would be greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poochewer:
Thanks for the advice. I'm pretty sure now that I have to sell this phone. My main reason to flash another Rom was to change the baseband. I have recently moved from Australia to the Philippines and the aussy modem here is atrocious. It's almost useless, signal wise, and I am used to using samsungs, where I can easily flash a new baseband to fix the situation. This situation with these LGs is a joke! Why would they make a phone like this, where you can't use a "blanket" flashing software to write over the entire phone. This will likely be the last LG that I will ever buy. Thanks for your help once again.

I'm currently on a rooted stock Telus 4.4.2 D803 and would like to load a custom recovery and then try out some new 4.4/5 ROMs. I've previously installed recoveries and ROMs however I'm trying to understand how the Bootloader comes into play.

In the past l found that I lost my knock on after installing TWRP, is it correct that this is because programs like Autorec 2.7.0.0 actually downgrade my current bootloader to a JB from KK?

How can I keep my KK bootloader and get a recovery like TWRP installed on my D803?

Thanks all.

I don't think you will have any problems with the euro baseband whilst in Philippines. It only seems to be the Australian model (802T). I've had similar problems with Samsung modems in Philippines, but it's so easy to flash an Asian modem on a Samsung
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
You can flash any D802 Baseband, you want. Just not by flashing the kdz. ;) Maybe I'll find the link again, with many of the known basebands as flashable zips. Gonna search tomorrow or so.

Well. I can't remember anything. Just remind that there are at least 7 different versions and two different panel types. (always pick the right files, don't worry, about panel types. if you get white lines you simply have to flash a patch)

Best if you post your Issue directly in the kdz thread. Did it the first time today btw. Had the same ROM and worked perfectly (but Win7). Just use everything provided in the kdz-op, and it should work; don't use anything else, some drivers, and the flashtool are slightly modded.

Make sure you have explored the entire phone each directory to see if the Rom is somewhere else.

Do you have adb access, if so you can use that feature to push a Rom.zip into your device.

If you don't have adb access you should check if download mode is working and just flash back to stock I've linked all you need here you can flash kk and root/get recovery

1. Is bootloader same as download mode?

2. What does BUMPed image mean, and how does it refer to bootloader? Is G2 bootlader unlocked now?

3. F2F2 partitions. Which custom rom supports them? Is there any advantage over ext4? Does changing e.g. cache partition type to F2FS delete data and internal also, or just cache partition?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
1. NO!

2. BUMP was an online tool that allowed you to sign zips so that you could flash them through the locked bootloader (you theoretically could flash a unlocked bootloader through the locked one this way). But another dev made the "important" things about this tool public, and LG fixed it. So it won't work with 4.4.2 bootloader anymore. Sadly the original developer of BUMP stopped developing for our G2. Since BUMP works only with 4.2.2, it's pretty worthless, because you can unlock the 4.2.2 bootloader pretty easy.

3. Dunno about one. Didn't even now what F2FS (NOT F2F2) is. If you wonder about advantages, read here (XDA Link). And no, changing one partitions format should not influence any other partition. BUT: data <> cache are deeply dependent from eacht other. So I'm not sure...

I'm not sure about your points 2 & 3, but I did my best and hope it's correct. ;)

Yet Another Bricked G2

Guys, it's a Yet Another Bricked G2 question.

Sorry for a bad English, not my native language.

I'm using my g2 for about half a year and it's certainly The Best phone that I have ever used.

So, today I bought another second hand bricked g2 for my girlfriend for a New Year (yeah, I'm absolutely broke right now and I was hoping that I was gonna deal that brick problem).

Signs of bricked phone is:

- g2 itself is not react at all besides warming on charge (no led or screen flashing, download mode, nothing)

- PC is seeing phone memory like a lot of local disks

I was reading about that problem something on xda, but can't find it now.

If you can help me, guys, I'd be really appreciate. And I'm hoping to fix this beauty till January, since it's should be a present.

Thanks in advance and have a good day. Or night. :)
