When I press it stays there for a little bit but then it start lifting again.

I doesn't affect but I'm affraid that the screen would fall off after some time and if it's covered by warranty maybe fixing is better, although I will have to use a spare phone again..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
If there's the possibility to get it fixed on warranty, I'd do that in your situation. I used it quite a long time with the lifting screen and my display never fell off. This issue is quite well known. If you google for it, you will find quite many ppl with the same problem.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SapoPT:
Should I unroot my device before sending it? Its only the screen that is cover by warranty, would send a rooted device be a problem?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
I'd do a backup in TWRP, copy it to your Computer and go back to stock with the lg flashtool. They'll do that anyways (most probably). It's also easy to recover like that once you get it back.

If you haven't installed TWRP, I don't think they care about root. Just make sure the Download mode is working.

Ok now I have another question. When editing some xml strings, mostly in settings.apk, is there any way to find a needed string from apk file? I mean I'm editing MIUI settings and there's a setting called "stock LG Display settings" which I want to remove, but the thing is I can't find any string in any of xml files for that one. Like there are all but not these, so that's what I'm asking, is it possible to kinda find that desired string for that activity from apk file which will tell me exact code like com.android.etcblabla?

Thanks.

You were correct, the sim card seems to control what you can and can't edit. I got the simfree mod working and tested with Freedompop global sim(APN was successfully changed to freedompop.Foggmobile.Com using ##3282#) and Airvoice (could not edit the APN but did not matter, call and data worked).

Got hpsa+ to both Sims.

secure boot error

Roday I wanted to install a custom recovery. Here are my steps:

1. updated my LG G2 D802 with 16GB to latest OTA (4.4.2 Version D80220d-262-02)

2. rootet with ioroot

3. installed SuperSu

3. installed AutoRec - stuck at "checking loki.. installing"

4. installed flashify -> installed recovery image TWRP 2.7.0 and latest

but every recovery installed with flashify wont work

can anyone help me?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
1. latest OTA is something with 30, not with 20 for sure.

3. Where did you your version of autorec get?

4. Dumb move. Never use flashify if you don't know exactly, what's happening.

If: You have some OTA with 30 and not with 20 as you wrote:

Download autorec for your model from playstore and try using it again.

If: You indeed are on some KK version (20x):

Download the latest recovery.zip made by blastagator for your variant, extract the img and flash it through flashify. Should work.

Sorry for being rude, but I just can't avoid it sometimes....

Hello everyone, I just got an LG G2 F320L but i'm of the era of Optimus 3D and confused with all the different models and also a little lost in that sea of posts. . . .

Mobile it's with the official korean 5.0.1 lollipop and kernel 3.4.0 and I would like to adapt to euro band frequencies and run marshmallow rom on it.

Downloaded F320L_KK_bootloader_plus_LP_bootstack and have plan to install TWRP for install Cyanogenmod13, Exodus, or Mokee to it.

I was planning in:

-root it

*install last twrp using flashify (or bootloader comes first?)

*install bootloader (can I use any model of G2? Or only the "F320L_KK_bootloader_plus_LP_bootstack"? I need european antennas coverage)

-full wipe

-install rom 6.0 ( I'm looking for a ripper to the bone marshmallow if possible haha)

Is that order correct or am I veeery wrong?

Excuse the rudeness of my english
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Downgrade to KK using the KDZ method first. Then root, flash the blastagator TWRP (if it's available for your variant), then flash the bootloader (Only the right one for your variant, everything else will brick your device), reboot the recovery, flash rom and gapps.

If you flash TWRP over the LP bootloader you will just get a secure booting error.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabinorojo:
Thanks a lot for the fast reply, but I saw it late :S

After some reading I did this tonight:

1.- I root it using LG-Root method on windows DOS console. (adb, ports, sendcommand, UpdateSuperSu2.46).

2.- For install recovery I tried Flashify with no luck. Restore the Recovery Flashify Backup and then try Autorec "LH-Rec-F320L" (similar and even more simple).

3.- Try to push Vol Down + POWER and repush after LG logo but no luck to start recovery.

4.- Dos console again: adb reboot recovery and I finally enter TWRP Recovery.

5.- Update TWRP Recovery to 3.0.2 -0-f320-bump-blastagator-signed.

6.- Installed F320L_KK_bootloader_plus_LP_bootstack then Wipe/Dalvik/Cache

7.- Installed KK_Baseband_F320L modem (aparently no improve on my device network signal :( )

8.- Wipe Dalvick/Cache/System

9.- Install latest CM13 cm-13.0-20160403-UNOFFICIAL-f320

10.- Installed OpenGapps Arm 6.0 Mini

11.- REBOOT and WORKS

But I'll have to downgrade the O.S. because my digitalizer it's faulty and unresponsive on the top area of the screen (and CM13 doesn't have the opcion of personalize a icon on the buttons for access notification area)

With the digitalizer like that I cannot flip down to access notificacion area.

Anybody knows how to make a shortcut to notification area like the button you can personalize for "Notifications Bar" on 5.0.1 ? :'( :'(

Also I'm having the same network low signal problems that I had with the stock LP korean version :(

Will my problems of low signal on europe get solved downgrading with KDZ Method?

Does this method will fix my baseband and open the gsm bands for europe?

When I enter "Download mode" it says " UNROOTED" now instead of usual "ROOTED"

It apparently looks like I lost root which is causing bootloop/reboots, I was just using "disable service" app to enable all Bluetooth related services and then I rebooted my phone and lost root.

Is there any Windows app where I can double check if I really lost root.

I'll try rooting it again and will see if this bootloops disappear.

file integrity / structure issue

Hi guys,

Long story short, some system files got deleted off my stock LG G2 and now neither the phone, nor the PC are able to see files like photos, apps, documents etc. The storage screen shows up with a lot of free space, although the files are still there because they haven't been deleted. However, nothing can see them anymore.

- when on the phone, all folders show up (Android main etc.) but all of them are empty

- when on the PC, only recent files show (e.g. picture I've taken after the system folder got wiped)

Apps that were installed still work, contacts are there etc.

I tried recovering files and rooting. File recovery only turned up half the files and most photos were either thumbnail size or cut in half.

Rooting didn't work. Tried Kingo first, it got stuck while waiting for my phone. Tried the SRK Tool from the XDA forum, which again got stuck and was allegedly waiting for my phone after I put it into download mode. There is a third application I tried and it failed as well, but its name eludes me. I'm worried about trying a fourth now, as there seem to be a lot of mickey mouse apps that claim to root the phone but are utterly useless.

My question is:

Is there any way to restore structure/integrity to the file system so that all my files show up again? Failing that, is there a software that can root an LG G2 and actually works? (giving me more options to recover my files). Or should I just re-install stock android using the factory default LG tool and kiss goodbye to all my files?

Much appreciated.

-Flash Gapps

-Flash hybrid bootstacks

If you don't mind me asking, which ROM are you using?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
well the guy that made this thread, so i think taught me that in order to go from KK-LP its not just flashing bootstacks even though some say you can jump from KK to LP custom rom.

ive never been on jelly bean. i have d800

so i use a TOT file to flash stock firmware... say i go back to KK after flashing TOT.

then what i do is while in KK

root the phone, use autorec for KITKAT. update the twrp to blastagator thermal twrp...then i wipe all do a clena installation.

flash 5.0.2 kk bumped bootstacks.. and have a flashable stock LP rom..

and again i root it, some come rooted already mine does.. use autorec for LP in playstore install... then update it with the thermal twrp... then i can flash any custom stock rom... if i want to go cm12.1

wipe all install hybrid, reboot recovery into recovery to take effect.. then flash rom and gapps...

if cm13 i do same as above.. if i want to go lollipop i do same prcedure again go back to stock KK using flash tools and above steps till am on LP..

thats how i was taught..

am using russing EVAL dark 4.0

and dont worry when you are in twrp and connect usb you can trasfer files then flash them.. so if you wipe all including sd card its better so no left over files get conflict... just remeber to copy to pc pics thec place them back..

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
[MENTION=5308112]raptorddd[/MENTION] got it right.

Just in a few points what you need to be aware of: Before flashing the bootstack, make dure you run a bumped recovery such as the latest twrp version by blastagator (use google, you'll find it easily). Just flash the appropriate zip in your current recovery.

Then reboot the recovery, flash the bootstack and reboot again. Then you can continue with flashing bliss.

btw. If you are interested in how things basically work, there is a link in my signature which is quite a good read for understanding things imo.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdk0117:
Thanks for that post!! Very very clear instructions. Last few questions:

-Is there a specific place I should store the bootstacks and zips in order for me to flash? Or does it not matter where in the internal SD it is located?

-The post you linked me to doesn't say hybrid bootstacks. Is the bootstacks with KitKat okay?

-If I make a nandroid backup now, I won't be able to use it to restore my stuff on Bliss, correct? They're completely different ROMs, so I guess the nandroid backup is only for the worst case scenario?

-After I install stock Lollipop, do I have to run through the whole set-up before I can flash Bliss 6.2?

Got it, I'll definitely be snagging the latest TWRP! Appreciate the help, and the links. I'll bookmark em :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
No jus place it in sd card. any zip.

because that post was to go from KK to LP or custom LP all you need is wipe all and flash hybrid's or what ever bootstacks the rom requires.

yes thats for backing up your rom only, i think that question is tricky. if you need to back up apps with settings even like whats app chats use titatnium back up then when you ready restored all apps. you wont loose anything.

nope just the required bootstacks, like sunandroid said, make sure you flashh bootstacks, then reboot from recovery into recovery again don hit reboot to system.. so that new bootstacks are then used thats why you need to reboot into ecovery again. then flash rom and gapps.

in the link i gave you theres the link for thermal twrp.
