Can't access sdcard

Hello everybody,

I just did a completely fresh install of Lineage OS. I went from a Lineage Installation to stock LG G2 and installed TRWP again and a new Lineage image for my phone (which was working before).

And out of sudden, I've a huge problem with the internal storage. I can download apps from the store just fine, but if I want to take a screenshot, save a download or open a picture in whatsapp it says there's not enough storage space. But since it's a fresh install, I've about 9GB free space.

I didn't find anything proper on google (renaming the pictures folder didn't do it).

Edit: Seems to be some sort of permission issue. The owner of the folder /sdcard is root. Do I have to get root access again or can I chmod this folder somehow on my "normal" user?

Edit 2: Found the solution last night. I booted into recovery, advanced options -> "Fix Content". It fixed the permissions and I was able to save in /sdcard again.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
In this whole thread it was always like that, that ppl didn't use the right combo or used it the wrong way, it never "didn't work" in the end. So for the KK bootloader, you press vol-&pwr until the lg logo shows up, then release and hold the vol+&pwr (i think it was that way, haven't used my g2 in a long time). for the JB Bootloader it was Vol- both times. I assume you are running the KK bootloader.

Stuck at LG logo

Hi all

Thanks for a great Forum!!

I have a minor issue :(

Specs: LG G2 D802 32GB - Love that phone!

I have been running it stock for the last 4 years but recently many of my favorite apps does not support kitkat no more, so time to upgrade i thought :cowboy:

I read several post in here and watched a bunch of videos on youtube and gave it a try.

So... First, rooted my phone with IOroot - OK

Installed Autorec and TWRP 2.7.0.0 - OK

upgraded TWRP to 3.2.1.0 - OK

Downloaded Lineage 14.1 D802 and Gapps 7.1 mini - OK

Booted to TWRP and Wiped Dalvik, System, Data and Cache - OK

installed Lineage 14.1 - OK

Wiped Dalvik - OK

Installed Gapps - OK

Wiped Dalvik - OK

Rebooted to System - Not OK

As far as I can read in here, The problem lies in the boot loader, but herein lies my question. Autorec according to one post in here, downgrades the bootloader to JB but the FAQ Q12, in this thread tells me that Autorec keeps/installs the KK bootloader...

And according to Lineage OS, I need the KK bootloader to run. And alot of posts/threads recommends NOT to use hybrid bootloaders etc...

So, what did I do wrong??? Do I still have the KK bootloader or do I have the JB Bootloader?? If I have the JB and would like to upgrade to KK - how would I go about it in my current situation where Im stuck at LG logo. Or do I have an entirely different problem? :confused:

Btw, TWRP works fine and I have all the backups - But Im not interested in reverting back to stock because then Im back with the unsupported phone/apps issue...

Best regards

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
You need the KK Bootloader. Hybrid means KK bootloader, but rest of the bootstack is LP. I'd suggest using one of these. Also make sure, you are using the TWRP made by blastagator. (you can find it here in the forums easily; the official TWRP won't work with the KK bootloader). If you are using blastagators TWRP already anyways, just flash the bootstack and reboot. Potentially you have to reflash linage and Gapps (just what you described, if it doesn't work after just flashing the bootloader/bootstack).

Best of luck! ;)

Edit: further info: Autorec for KK does downgrade the bootloader to JB, Autorec for LP to JB (as far as I remember).

This thread will answer all your questions.

I have not used this phone for so long I just do not remember. I think the that thread may still be active.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
loki and bump are exploits to bypass the signature verification for whatever should be booted (Recovery recovery or Android respectively). As you can read in the thread you mentioned the JB bootloader can be bypassed by both, the KK one only by bump. This is also why you need blastagators TWRP, as it supports bump, while the official doesn't. I don't know, what I'd recommend. The most stuff ist based on the same sources anyways. The last thing I flashed was ressurection remix.

As dredq mentioned, you'll find a lot of useful information in the thread of blastagator himself. If you want a more general understanding how things work I have linked a little write up in my signature.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dutchmhk:
Thank you for replying :good:

I made it work by using the CAF signed bootstack. So now Lineage 14.1 is running like a charm

Only thing missing is the knock on knock off.

Well not entirely true...."knock on" kinda works but not as it used to. And "knock of"f only works from notification bar. I´ll do some more reading on that subject. :good:

Who knows maybe someone fixed that as well

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Afaik no one "fixed" the knock-off on AOSP custom ROMs. (Since it's application related; the point you want to use to double tap to send the device to sleep might also be a button, and LG just implemented free spaces in its launcher as possible surfaces for the knock off-feature, so it's not ROM dependant but rather launcher dependant.)

GPS troubleshooting

Hello

I guess I should just ask here instead of making a new thread ?

I'm on lineageOS 14.1 for my d802. For a few weeks I've been encountering issues with the GPS. After letting it charge during the night, it wouldn't work at all. After rebooting, it would work again.

I looked around and it seems unlikely a hardware problem would just pop off but maybe it is ?

Now these past few days, rebooting didn't solve anything and I didn't get a GPS fix in almost a week. Since then, I tried several methods to diagnose the problem or fix things but none worked.

I downloaded com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2, which shows I can't get any satellite fix. AGPS XTRA data reset and redownload didn't help.

I downloaded topNTP and tried a few different settings with to effect (still no satellite fix).

I tried a hardware cardboard hack (on ifixit) that didn't help either.

I tried a dalvik and cache wipe.

Now I think the issue raised when I updated LineageOS (using twrp). But I updated today with latest nightly and it didn't change anything.

Any idea how I can diagnose it further, confirm (or not) it is a hardware issue ?

Maybe I should ask in a general thread, it might not be G2 related.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [] AL []:
It might very well be a hardware issue. To verify that, I'd backup the LOS setup then flash a stock ROM and check. If it behaves the same, then it is more than likely the case.

And btw, I once bought a refurbished G2 (which I had to get exchanged 3 times before finally getting my money back - bad displays, bad GPS, IR blaster not working, among others...) and I really wasn't impressed with the GPS performance in general. One of the 4 units never had a lock... The seller even told me that this was a given (GPS barely works) for that model. Sorry to tell you so...

As I said, it depends. If you are on some custom ROM, it might be software related. But if you are on stock ROM and reset that or even reinstalled it, and the issue persists, its pretty likely that it is a hardware issue.

Help with flashing a LG G2 without USB connectivity

I have a LG g2 here that is stuck on jellybean due to USB connectivity not working (unknown device+slow charging with any pc/cable). I need to get this phone to run kitkat at least, so that I can use some apps that are not compatible with jellybean anymore. In case I can root and twrp this phone without using a pc, can I flash a kitkat rom on it? Or is it mandatory to flash the official kitkat update before playing around with flashing on this phone? My device is a D805. Thanks in advance.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Honestly I'd try to work out the USB issue, saves you a lot of headache on the long run. It's quite possible, that you can fix it, using the srk tool.

Further more I don't even know if there is a root method working without PC for this device. It's pretty likely though.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrkblo:
Thanks for answering. I've searched all around for a fix yo the USB issue, I have even changed the USB connector flex 3 times to no avail (all the connectors were tested on another phone, and all were working just fine). It seems like it's a motherboard issue. I've managed, however to root and twrp it without a PC (kingroot+flashfy) and I'm currently running Slimkat on it.

If you don't mind, can you answer me a different question now? Since I've never officially updated to kitkat, I believe my baseband and bootloader are still Jellybean's. I've been willing to try to update to newer versions of android (5.1 or newer), and I'm wondering if I need to flash something prior to doing that? Should I flash the Lollipop baseband and flash the roms, or do I need anything else?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
unknown device sounds like a hw issue to me. that's why i recommended it.

make sure you are running the latest twrp by blastagator (to be found with google in theese forums), then flash the hybrid bootstack (same: google it and find it on xda). then you should be good to go for virutually everything.

2 things:

- by flashing the new bootstack, the button combo for the recovery changes. from vol-&pwr --> lg logo --> vol-&pwr to vol-&pwr --> lg logo --> vol+&pwr (at least that's how i remember it)

- maaayybeeee your usb issue gets resolved anyways by flashing the new bootstack. try it out.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrkblo:
From my investigations on the USB issue,

I've seen that this problems normally arise from flashing wrong firmware (like D802 stock firmware to D805), so I always hoped something like a bootloader change/flashing could fix it, but never tried as it was my mother's phone and I didn't have another phone to give her in case I messed it up (bought the phone used). I've managed to get a proper board for her G2, so know I've got this spare one to play around. Thanks again for your advices, I'll give it a try with the hybrid bootstack tomorrow, and hope it'll fix the issue (it doesn't connects to the pc+takes forever to charge). Hope your guess about the fix is right, but if it isn't at least it'll get to cm13.

20Gb used for no reason

Hi there,

So I have used TWRP to do a complete clean on my phone (including internal storage) but after installing any room, 20gb of my memory are being filled already witt something that i do not know what it is. I have already deleted pics, videos, downloads and anything that I have access to, but I guess whatever is filling that space is in the boot folder or wherever. How can I access those folders? And the most important question, how can I know which files I should delete and which not (so I don't **** up with my system)?

I have searched all around the internet but they only inform about the folders that you normally have access, not the ones on boot and etc.

Thanks for the help!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
might it be, that you flashed some 16gb partition table on your device by accident and therefor your G2 now thinks it's a 16gb model and not a 32gb one?

Because deleting stuff from the system partition is a pretty dumb idea in general, because it's pretty much guaranteed that you break stuff.

Best rom

Hi! Which one of these roms would be the best for battery life and general performance (video playback, social media, web browsing)?

I would use CloudyG2 2.2 Kitkat, if Netflix worked properly on it. Gaming is not important.

CloudyG2 3.3 + Dorimanx kernel. I used Performance profile and slight undervolt on 2.2

LineageOS 14.1

LineageOS 15.1

LineageOS 16.0
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Cloudy G2 most likely, can't tell for sure, also depends on your usage. Lineage get's gradually worse the newer it is (for quite obvious reasons).

If I were you, I'd try LOS 14.1 and Cloudy and try which one of those work better for you (Stability, Battery Life, UX). But Cloudy is most likely the one with an advantage concerning battery life.
