[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
Hey there you are now in fastboot, I have worked with mac in the past but have never actually worked with android on it since I have used boot camp and Linux; since you are in fastboot the most likely scenario is that you flashed the rom not for your device, if rom includes kernel then your device is in fastboot because of bad kernel, if you are sure that you have nameless rom for d800 then download an aosp kernel for d800 like furnace and you want to extract boot.img from zip and flash that via fastboot:

on windows the android sdk includes the adb and fastboot exe files and we use this location to work with adb/fastboot and the commands to flash via fastboot are fastboot erase boot and then fastboot flash boot boot.img I don't know if you have access to sdk with mac and should consider setting up an Ubuntu boot camp just for working with the phone(and be on lookout for windows preview images from Microsoft so that you have a way to return to stock since it is only possible with windows)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
well first make sure to use correct method to install recovery and don't use flashify because that is asking for a brick

once you install recovery the best way to return to stock recovery is by using the back to stock method because this is best way to get rid of root/recovery and be able to ota/etc you can actually grab the stock recovery image and dd it into recovery partition but if you are on kk it is not recommended because of the method to install recovery is different and not safe since you will have mixed partitions

there are a few helpful links on the second post of this help thread which you should consider reading through before you begin your journey of rooting and modding
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kanehigourashi:
thanks for the info. The major problem here is that if I restart, it shows me the lg symbol then goes straight back to this. Any advice?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
like I mentioned it is most likely a kernel problem, fastboot is placed on the phone and it is the bootloaders way of saying hey there is something wrong here and you need to fix it by using your computer and usb cable

there is no way out without fixing the problem and if it is kernel then you need to fastboot flash a d800 aosp kernel using fastboot after that you will be able to fastboot reboot and phone should boot if you try rebooting without solving problem then there isn't much you can do but trying to boot back into recovery is harder because like I said there is a problem that needs to befixed and you can try to boot to recovery by button combination but 50% of the time it will throw you back in fastboot
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kanehigourashi:
Well, I tried, but now it seems as though it's fully bricked now. I tried the freshest [kernal] aosp 4.4.2 v7 after erasing the current boot, but now it won't turn on.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
did you make sure to fastboot flash the kernel boot image after erasing boot?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kanehigourashi:
Yes. In between our posts, It came on for a few seconds, the lg symbol came up, and at the top had some text. Said something about a certificate, then cut of. The screen is now doing a dull flashing at half second intervals. Have to put my hand over it to see it.

update: if i hold the pwr button for a min, the led flashes red, then the lg symbol comes up with that same message.

secure booting error

cause: boot certification verify

update: if i unplug the usb from it, the flashing is replaced with a solid form of the flash. Still can't see it unless it is dark or if I put my hand over it. Also, if i try fastbooting now, it says waiting for device, then claims it can't establish port.

Update: did a hard reset (no matter how much i hated to) and I was able to get back to TWRP recovery menu. I'm downloading the stock img and and going to install. Should I flash it or use twrp's zip install?

Nevermind... I can't use twrp until i load a rom first, and fastboot still won't register the rom. I could really use some insight here...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kanehigourashi:
Fixed it!

Okay. I figured out what i was doing wrong. I was using the d-802 pack (like the bumbling idiot that i am). I had to do a hard reset to get into recovery, so I'm pretty sure I lost everything. But after looking around on this nightly, I think it might have been worth it. It's sooooooooo Smooth!

Thank you for all your help and time.

Hi,

I have a serious problem with my LG G2 802D. (Sorry if my english is not that good)

I rooted my G2 and installed Team Win and Cyanogen Mod. It worked perfectly. Than I found out that Cyanogen is not my Rom of choice and wanted to go back to the stock rom. I used the LG Mobile Support Tool for this (It worked in the past, because I had to do this one time before I could really install cyanogen mod).

But now I'm stuck in the Bootloop! I get access to the Download Mode, and I tried nearly every stock rom for the g2 i could find. Nothing worked. I tried the offline fix for the LG Mobile Support Tool. But everytime I get stuck in the bootloop :(

I hope you can help me.

- I can access the Download Mode

- I get no access to recovery
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
hey ther if you flashed 20d then you are probably using wrong method to factory reset/get into recovery below are the 2 different methods:

Method one- before knock code update

-power off phone

-Hold volume down+power button

-When you see lg logo let go and hold volume down+power button until you see factory reset screen

-press power button 2-3 times

Method two- after knock code update

-power off phone

-Hold volume down+power button

-When you see lg logo let go and hold volume down+volume up until you see factory reset screen

-press power button 2-3 times
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C.Hatfield:
Thanks for the reply !!!! I believe it is definitely a harware issue bc, just as you've stated, my knock-on is no longer working on any kernel or ROM.

That effing sucks ..... can you comment on the best way to return ~> I got it from Best Buy on Black Thursday night last year. I do believe I have the cheap VZW insurance as well ..... hmmmmm, Verizon suxxx to deal with BUT I have never had to deal with a return/replacement issue though .... :confused:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
then it Is most definitely dead spots, in order to claim warranty you will need to do a return to stock with download mode and kdz or tot method; the biggest problem with claiming warranty is that carrier will usually tell you to call lg, I had already broken my screen back in December and did replacement myself since I am a tech junky and so do not know if the screen dead spot issue can be claimed with warranty or insurance that would be left for you to look into but don't call vzw until after you restore to a state of stock unrooted because they can see if your device is rooted with there computers

Forcing OTA

Hey guys,

So I'm not new to this, but I ran into a string of issues last night and needed a working phone for the morning, so I returned everything to unrooted stock using the LG Flash tool.

Now, I'm trying to use towelroot or ioroot or whatever, but they all say "Upgrade to KitKat using KDZ / TOT / OTA method". So how do I get my phone to OTA? It's not listed as an update anywhere.

If I can't force an OTA, how to I upgrade with the other methods? I'm not used to being unrooted and without a recovery.

Thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
although you can just flash a stock rom and unroot it does not remove all traces of root on the phone, the only reason to use the back to stock method before contacting vzw is because of there major invasion in there customers privacy and they somehow have access to what your device has access to 24/7; you can contact and try and get lucky and hopefully the person won't do his computer magic but since it is warranty/insurance claim they will want to make sure of no root and no custom recovery so they cannot be scammed; there is a back to stock thread in this threads second post

Wind mobile brick.

Hey all,

I've tried for 3 days to root and install a custom rom (preferably Cyanogenmod) for my friend's LG G2. At this point I've bricked it while I've given him my Nexus 5 until I unbrick his.

It might be that your using an old version of twrp that doesn't support kitkat ROMs. Try loading an older cm like cm10.2 and see if that works. If it doesn't then you'll have to provide us with a log the next time you post so we can see what's going on in there.

---------- Post added at 01:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 AM ----------

You can if you have xposed framework in g2 tweaksbox there's an led option where you can customise the led behaviour.

---------- Post added at 01:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 AM ----------

Have you tried lg smart world? You can download fonts from there.

Custom launchers have different fonts but they're very limited to what you can change. Its mostly only for icons.

Apart from that I think you will need root to change all your fonts.

---------- Post added at 01:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 AM ----------

Is this only happening on mahdi? If so I'd just say flash again with the proper modem as well. If not, try another ROM and see if it persists.

---------- Post added at 02:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 AM ----------

Its either a hardware issue or its kernel related. Try

Charging with it off

Turning on USB debugging

Connecting to your computer

Different USB ports, different cables

If nothing works I'd just get warranty on it.

Hello everyone, could anyone tell me what are the chances of LG G2 being kept up to date with the latest versions of android in the future (next 2 years at least), either by the community or official updates? Please don't be overly positive about the activity and possibility of custom ROM's or official updates coming about a year or so later.

Im thinking about buying the G2 over the Nexus 5 because they cost almost the same, but the G2 has some better specs and features(not on the software side, im talking about the IR blaster or whatever it is called), but then again it may stop getting updates, meanwhile I'm pretty certain that Nexus 5 will be kept up to date by Google and the community for quite some time yet.

Alright so sideload works and your getting an error when it tries to install. If you can get adb push to work then you can install a newer twrp zip, flashing that directly and try again using that.

CM for rooted d802t variant

FIRST: I know there are other threads on the d802t variant, but I don't understand them (being completely new to this all).

I'm completely new to Android and the like. I bought the LG G2 and have had heaps of problems with the software (in particular the bloatware) on the device. I am looking to install Cyanogen Mod on the device, but the instructions on their wiki do not work for the D802t model that I have.

I somehow managed to root it a few days ago, and I think it was with IO root. The instructions suggest I should install "FreeGee", which just says that my model is not supported.

One thread I found said to find the "Europe open kdz". I have NO clue what that means.

Also, I don't really understand what "from recovery" or "install a custom recovery" means.

What I really would like is a simple list of instructions on how to install any ROM that isn't as terrible as the one that came with the phone, preferably CyanogenMod.

I'm on Mac OS X but I can use an old Windows XP computer too if required.

Hi guys, so im new, but used this site a bit back to help me with my old phone. Well new phone, LG G2, and now im looking for a case and a screen protector cause its starting to get scratched and smudged. SO my question is, whats a good way to clean the screen, like completely, and then some good stuff to buy for it. I checked out some threads, trying to find some stuff, but then i realized people here are more knowledgeable then I, so they call things by their name. So they would say things like review on Ultimate Awesomeness and I wouldn't know that it was indeed a case.

So if anyone can either point me in the right direction or help me find at the very least a screen protector, i would greatly appreciate it, and you. and love you. to the extent of my heart. <3

Well the screen protector does lay on top of the proximity sensor but there aren't any delays/problems

As for the camera that's part of the lock screen widgets but you can't remove it by holding it and dragging it to the trash can, maybe there's a root app which could let you remove it
