my speaker quit working this afternoon I called Verizon and the said it's shot I have a replacement coming tomorrow! if it's anything higher than 24a will I be able to use this? what worries me is it's going to have the 25a
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Yes, I used it for 26a.
[Verizon LG G2] quinejh:
thanks !
[Verizon LG G2] jlayer:
Ok...has anyone tried ioroot on 26A out of the box yet? I just got a new LG G2 from a warranty exchange. I'm on 26A out of the box, downloaded ioroot, installed the new drivers, setup my usb debugging to ethernet. As soon as I start the root.bat file, it reboots the phone and then bam....green android with red exclamation.

I'm afraid I'm stuck until someone finds away to root on 26A. Or does someone have an idea what I can do to make this work.
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
Try stump root, supposedly it works on 26A...or kdz your way back to 24A, and go from there.
[Verizon LG G2] quinejh:
when I try to run iroot it boots into recovery with the dead android but what buttons do I hit to get into stock recovery? I tried to download stumroot but was not able it says unable todownload. Verizon sent my replacemtn with 26a also I have used the flashtool quite a few times but never had the actual kitkat update. I used the modifies stock kernel so I thought I would use the flash tool to take my phone back to 11a update to 12b root then then use the same modified kernel. can someone tell me I can do this even though it came with kit kat preloaded? thanks for the help
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
You must get to "DOWNLOAD MODE" by holding "UP VOLUME" button and then plug in your factory USB cable (some USB cable is flaky and won't trigger this download mode). This is assuming you've already installed LG drivers on your Windoze PC. Then KDZ back to 24A, IOROOT25, take OTA back up to 26A, then AutoRec to get custom TWRP 2.7.0.0 recovery (then update to Dr. Gravy's thermal controlled TWRP 2.8.0.1) and you'r back in business.

26A Root

Try stump root for 26A. I did it- took less than a minute to do. No need to downgrade bootloader with kdz or anything.
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
[MENTION=5803877]HueyT[/MENTION], or anyone for that matter:

You still on 26A? Is your phone screen going black, and staying black while on a phone call, and it won't wake until the other caller hangs up?

I had to disable the proximity sensor, otherwise the phone is useless to make or receive phone calls. I think it might be a kernel issue; I tried Dorimanx 7.9, but that didn't help though.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
[MENTION=790321]bouchigo[/MENTION]

Granted I hate talking on the phone, so I have had maybe three calls, all of which lasted two minutes a piece, and didn't have that issue on aicp.

Not much for feedback, but my two cents none the less. I have seen a good amount of people reporting it though.
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
Yeah, I don't remember this happening on any other Rom except stock 26A (I didn't try 25A, or 25B, so...). I'll stick to the disabled proximity sensor for now, until it's resolved anyway (if ever).
[Verizon LG G2] somnambulator:
If I have TWRP can I manually flash 26a (not taking OTA)? Is the full 26a rom even available anywhere? There are so many threads on the various g2 forums it's so confusing. I wish there was 1 sticky thread or wiki with all consolidated information.
[Verizon LG G2] Droiddude24:
I just rooted with stump root is it safe to use AutoRec recovery on 26a?
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
It turns out it was my screen protector.

I didn't believe it was the cause since it worked fine on 24A. I figured, what the hell, and cut the piece that covers the light and proximity sensors...and what do you know, it now works fine :eek:. I guess the proximity sensor calibration was changed to be less sensitive in 26A.
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
How did you get the recovery options to show in 26A recovery? I'm stuck at the red triangle in recovery and can't bring up the menu to navigate to sideload
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:

Autorec denied permission

I rooted my,VS98026a with stump root, installed supersu, everything seemed to work well.

But when I run autorec it says "denied permission for interactive shell".

Supersu said i needed pro to run autorec, but still no luck.

I have been looking for a fix but cannot find anything.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong.
[Verizon LG G2] AO4EVER:
Ran, put into recovery, and...

Good evening,

24A Freedom One Click tool appeared to have run successfully.

Downgraded TWRP 2.8.0.1 to 2.7.0.0, and requested to move into the recovery mode. And...

Not quite sure what is supposed to happen now. Am I missing something?

Been advised to run it to be able to install Cyanogenmod on vs98026A, but when I tried to install CM11 M4 it put me into a boot loop again, as before.

Please advise. Any help is appreciated.
[Verizon LG G2] toknitup420:
First and foremost forgive my noobness. I'm normally using a HTC one m8, but I finally decided to root my wife's G2. So here I am. I'm on 26a with twrp 2.7 running spirit ROM. What's the best way to update to 2.8.1.0. Can this even be done at this point. Thanks in advance. [emoji41]
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Go to aicp's thread in the original android dev section, drgravy made a 2.8.1 that has his kernel baked in, so it doesn't generate heat needlessly.

Flash it in recovery

[Verizon LG G2] tclemens:
micromod thanks for this looks a lot easier than the DNA as a matter of fact when i saw you saw data was way better on the G2 with cricket i went out and snagged one up
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Sweet. Yea, I love the G2 way better than the DNA. Bigger, faster, stronger, longer battery, etc...

Plus its got the baseband for alot more carriers versus the DNA. I get the maximum AT&T allows Cricket to go with LTE at 8mbps up and down. Sometimes I reach 10mbps, but its capped at 8mbps. The DNA only got H speed like 1.5mbps down, and up was like in the 1980's internet speed like .6. lol

Of course with a Verizon sim I got like 20mbps up and down, but it was also triple the cost. With 8mbps I have no problems with net on the go. At home I use wifi anyways.
[Verizon LG G2] SeanPlunk:
My brother had to send his phone back for warranty repair and I believe he's getting a replacement that I believe will be on 26A.

It looks like I just need to use Stump root and then run KitKat 24A Freedom. Can anyone confirm that will work?
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Yes it works good.
[Verizon LG G2] dopy25:
Would anyone that has been able to succeed at root using Stump, please let me know what they did?

I am trying to help a friend who is using the VS980 on 26A root, and Stump keeps saying device not supported.

I don't want to clutter and will request this to be removed, or change this to a different post if someone would please PM me regarding this to keep this clean I would very much appreciate it.
[Verizon LG G2] JoelC707:
Sorry if this is obvious but how do I get back into TWRP? I successfully used the 24A Freedom tool and let it reboot into TWRP. I made a backup of the stock ROM and let it reboot so I could come back here and do some more research before I venture into flashing a custom ROM. I don't see anything in the app list that even looks remotely like I need. I tried the volume down + power method of getting into the recovery but it appeared to be a stripped down thing that only gave me the option of a hard reset or cancel/reboot and was not TWRP.

On a side note, now that I have a recovery on here, can I just grab the zip file(s) for the CM11 26A OTA ROM on here and load that like any other ROM or do I have to perform some/all of the manual steps listed (they seem to be duplicates of what this tool did so that's why I'm not sure).

Thanks!

[Verizon LG G2] JoelC707:
Nothing to see here, figured it out on my own LOL. Persistence pays off. For others wondering the same thing, there is no app to access that I saw. I installed an app called Quick Boot that allows me to reboot into recovery mode. This is my first time using TWRP, my last venture in flashing a different rom was with my Acer A500 and it has CWM on it with ROM Manager app and I was looking for a similar app for TWRP which is why I was lost.

Might be the new advance calling included in the 27a update conflicting with autorec not sure.

**secure boot error** when trying to enter recovery

AutoRec. Fixed it

[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
Don't know if you've figured it out yet, or not, but just adb a bumped recovery to your phone. Use blastagator's latest 2.8.4.0, and you won't get that error on boot up any more.

If you already used AutoRec, then you'll have to flash the original 27A files that are overwritten by AutoRec (aboot.img, boot.img, and laf.img)...or, just .kdz your back to 27A stock, and use stump root to root if that's easier for you. The point is to be on stock 27A, with root, then adb the bumped recovery.

i got the 2.7zip from xdabbeb and he said just flash it. can i just flash that in phils to change it to twrp or should i adb push 2.6 or 2.7 to be safe?
[Verizon LG G2] 1heffer:
Traditionally, flashing the new recovery.zip from your current recovery is all that's required.

I've yet to use Phil's so I'm not 100%(more like 99.9997%).

Also, if xdabbeb says just flash it, you can most definitely take his word as gold.
[Verizon LG G2] blacwin22:
thanks for the quick reply. ill go ahead and give a shot when he gets home tonight. he seems to like phil's, runs backups pretty damn quick, mine was 10b ota to 11 then ive been rooted and twrp since. running xdebbab's bootstack.zip worked wonderfully on my g2. kit kat is way smoother

[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
You're right, I failed to read the entire op and edited my post.

I've used flashify to successfully install my recovery (I have seen people brick using it, and I'm sure I'll get flammed for even suggesting it, but it is easy and you have less of a chance of bricking using it versus freegee.

Honestly, it would be better for you to push it via adb. Everyone should get familiar with adb and using the terminal.

You said you "soft bricked" and that would be even more of a reason, there's a lot you can recover from with this phone, and knowledge is power.

There's no rush to flash Roms, take a few days and do some research/messing around and do it the old fashioned way.

[Verizon LG G2] ECrispy:
Thank you for all the hard work making it easy for the rest of us. I have a simple question - on a stock unrooted phone on 12B, can I do both the root and installing recovery together in the same session? Then reboot into recovery and flash 2.7.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Yes, but why don't u take the kk update first?
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
Especially when the update is only 690mb OTA download. Although JB currently has alot more custom ROMS to choose from, KK is more efficient and faster than JB. KK ROMS will catch up soon.
[Verizon LG G2] ECrispy:
I could do that and then use the freedom tools you mean? I though since the OTA is same as the leak, I could just install a custom ROM like xdadebb which has the better camera.
[Verizon LG G2] greyhd:
Take the OTA, root w/IO25, and use MicroMods freedom mod to get recovery on your phone. Once you do that you can just flash xdadebb's ROM.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
U can...
[Verizon LG G2] greyhd:
MicroMod, does the freedom tool zip keep download mode?
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Yes. I restored my phone 2x to double checked.
[Verizon LG G2] ECrispy:
Thanks, so just to confirm, I have a stock 12B unrooted phone -

1. take OTA

2. connect to pc via USB debugging

3. run IOroot 25

4. in same session, run freedom tools

5. reboot

I will now have TWRP 2.7 and be rooted, right? And doing this is same as rooting phone now and installing the leaked OTA, only difference is official OTA is smaller in size?

Then I can reboot into recovery, take nandroid and can use that nandroid to return to rooted stock anytime. Correct?

Sounds about right.
