[LG G Flex] wase4711:
I've been trying all day to do just that, but my phone isnt being seen by my computer..

I think the problem is that my phone is a d959 tmo, but, the freedomflex recovery installed,(twrp) has changed my phone to a f340k, and I cant get any drivers to recognize the phone, so without that, I can't do anything with it..

Since the last working thing was TWRP recovery, is there a way for me to boot into twrp at this point?

All I can do is get in download mode, or another mode which shows all Chinese text/language on it, with my IEMI code on the bottom of the page..

Otherwise, I will have to ebay this thing, and hope someone with more dev skills than me can restore it somehow..

thanks!

Have you tried a different port

Or different computer all together. The aboot and recovery shouldn't mess up your drivers
[LG G Flex] brittoking:
I'm on AT&T and my phone actually bricked running the recovery apk right when it came out before anybody knew that being on 4.4 and trying it would hard brick. Anyway I had a LOT of time and trial and error trying to get into download mode, or recovery or avoiding that Korean hardware screen so try this for recovery mode: hold power/volume + until the LG logo flashes on then off let go of volume button and continue holding power, let the LG logo flash thru one more time to black screen, then release. Phone should now be off completely. Now press just the power button as soon as you see the LG logo press the volume+ and the power together, the foreign language and wrench should show up and you can release. It took me 10 tries some times just to get into the different modes successfully. Hope it helps

No, I havent; I will try that in a bit..

[Galaxy S 5 General] Greg1955:
I have an Aussie G900i and have tried 6 roms so far and this is just my opinion of them.

I use my phone in the car a lot so GPS, Bluetooth and 4G Internet have to work

I use wifi instead of 4G at home and even though I don't use NFC at present, I plan to in future

No1 Omega 2.0 (The BEST one) - Everything worked flawlessly (installed G900i modded kernel from install)

NFC did NOT work in any of the other roms but if that doesn't concern you, here is a rundown.

No2 Shohat 5.0 - Everything worked except NFC

No3 Pheonix 1.2 - Everything except NFC and Navigon (Google maps worked but Navigon locked up the phone badly)

No4 Echoe 2.0 - Had troubles keeping the bluetooth connection (navigation kept dropping out all the time)

No5 XtreStoLite 1.0.2 - Most of my apps force closed and wifi connected but then turned off (Big Disappointment)

At No6 is Alliance 1.1 - I couldn't really test this one as the default colour scheme meant I couldn't set it up

The text and check box colours were the same as the background so it was just a blank.

This is just my opinion from tests I have done and others may have differing experiences but hope it helps people wanting to try out

some of the roms.

So, I have flashed a few roms, the most recent, Lego Rom, and I am still unable to activate my network. I have mobile data but no phone. I have went back and tried to install from freshly rooted to a rom but without any change. I am following install instructions to a T. This is by far not my first time installing a custom rom. Anyone have any ideas what my problem is?

[G2 General] BrandonShea:
Hey guys! Before I even start just let me say that I understand the answers to this question will all just be personal preference. That's what im looking for.

So, I have a black D803 LG G2, I swapped the black back for a white one, giving it the 'white nexus' look and I have AOSP PA flashed onto it.

I almost bought the M7 instead of the G2, but ended up going for the G2 obviously.I really liked the premium feel of the M7, but it was almost a year or so old when I bought my G2 so I didn't want to buy an outdatedish product.

So, I guess down to the reasons I want the M8.

- It's beautiful; I like the look of the G2, especially with the white back, but it just feels so..cheap. I'm terrified to use the phone without a huge case on it. I held the M8 at a local bestbuy today, and holy **** it feels wonderful.

- The BoomSound speakers: My G2 speakers arent bad with the mod I've installed. ( I can't remember the name of it, im sorry to who made it. ) some mod that made the speaker louder and more clear. But, at high volume it sounds really tinny. I consume a lot of media on my phone so the boomsound would be a plus.

- MicroSD slot: Now, this isn't a big deal. But it's cool. I dont use google play, so I have to save my music and things locally on my phone. Having an SD slot would be nice.

- SenseUI: I really like it. I like AOSP, but something about Sense is really attractive to me. And if I get bored of it I can flash AOSP. Where as with my G2 if I get bored of AOSP, Theres no way i'm going back to LG optimus UI. bleeeeeehhh

now for the reasons why I might keep my G2.

-Battery: apparently the battery is OK on the M8, but i'm getting a solid day and a half on my G2 and I don't like the idea of losing that.

-Not as physically big; I have small hands, it's kind of hard to hold my G2 already, And the M8 is much taller. So theres that.

Sorry to just rant on and ramble about this: but in reality i'm going to have to drop about 650$ to get an M8 ( I have my G2 on contract ) and just looking for some opinions, I know they might be bias 'cuz i'm in the G2 subforum, but eh..If you can try to keep it objective i'd appreciate it. :)

Thanks for listening,

-Brandon

EDIT: something else I thought of, I DONT use my camera on my phone. Sometimes just to show someone something that I cant describe in words, or whatever. But I dont go out and take pictures with my phone, or non of that selfie stuff. So thats of no matter to me.
[G2 General] crzykiller:
Well if the Camera really isn't an Issue then the M8 would be an amazing choice. The battery life is actually better and well obviously the performance on it is better than the G2... The only reason I am waiting for the G3 instead of the M8 is because of the camera lol
[G2 General] BrandonShea:
The battery is better on the M8? Huuuuuuuuh? u w0t
[G2 General] osmosizzz:
Yeah been hearing battery life on the m8 is g2 comparable. But hey, even the z1 compact had comparable battery life too
[G2 General] malek777:
I have both phones and I can confirm that the batteries are comparable
[G2 General] trincisor:
The HTC one was a bit too heavy.

Played around with it and caused strain in like ten minutes.

The display also felt inferior on the m8. Especially black text on white screen. The g2 felt bolder and fuller. But the m8 was grainy.

Also found the m8 can easily slip out of the hand.

Th g2 can get slippery but when I wipe the phone with a cloth and wash my hands it grips well.

The m8 is perpetually slippy, could be a personal opinion. What do you guys think?

I liked the gestures on M8 can get things done faster
[G2 General] malek777:
If you 're into flashing roms. The m8 has a much bigger development community because you can unlock the boot loader. overall The m8 is a better phone than the g2.
[G2 General] BrandonShea:
I never knew what that meant to be completely honest.
[G2 General] AlwaysLimey:
This close to the G3 announcement? I would wait and compare. Don't want regrets.
[G2 General] BrandonShea:
I dont like the idea of the G3, the screen is just tooo big. 5.2 is already pushing it. + never been a fan of the back buttons, I tried so hard to like them :(
[G2 General] gcogger:
Personally I wouldn't switch to a bigger phone with a smaller screen. I'd always use a minimal 'skin' type case anyway, so the metal build of the HTC would be irrelevant to me.
[G2 General] Johncourt:
NO WAY they are comparable. Everybody knows that G2 is superior in terms of battery life, and the only Phone that comes CLOSE is the Galaxy S5, but for sure NOT the M8, sorry.....

[G2 General] fridaycider:
My friend has an m8 and its just too big . M7 was a better size and to go to on screen buttons was a mistake. The speakers sound great in a quiet environment but wouldn't say much louder than anything else. Too gimiky now not much use in real world usage. And his battery is terrible he says and that's coming from a one x that is two years old . G2 is a great design but again I'm not a fan of on screen keys.

[G2 General] AndroidInsanity:
I am in the opposite situation! I am thinking about getting the G2 for the 3rd time! I upgraded to the M8 and the only pros it has is speakers build and front camera. I use headphones a lot, take pictures with the back camera and use a case. So the positives of the M8 don't really add up to be a proper upgrade. And I love the new LG UI I have seen. Battery life is indeed comparable.
[G2 General] kolembo:
What?!

I didn't know the M8 was bigger than the G2!

I find the G2 very nice to hold - I just wish it was metal.

I dropped my Huawei P6 so was considering an M8 replacement.

I'd have gone for the previous HTC but the battery and the camera put me off.

I think go with the M8 if you want but you'll find in the long run that the G2 is a better phone.
[G2 General] malek777:
Thanks for confirming that the battery is comparable. Because some people on this thread don't believe it.
[G2 General] malek777:
M8 with heavy usage. LTE all day
[G2 General] htcm7:
Previously, I owned HTC M7, phone is good, battery life is just medium, but the main problem is their after sales support.

Premium phone with a crap support, at least in my country, very unprofessional. No match for Samsung's or Lg's service.

That's why I sold it and buy G2.

Attach is battery life in G2 without saving mode. Also take a look, battery volt, still around 3.6 volt.

For lithium battery, it is not good when battery volt goes below 3.6 ~ 3.7 volt.

Here are some of battery life in quite heavy usage :

I think, it is normal for G2 can endure more than 24hours in heavy mode. Less than that, probably, G2 has a problem. Don't know about M8, can it stand more than 24hours in heavy mode?
[G2 General] slind:
I have in front me: an S5, One M8, G2 and Nexus 5.

As the OP only mentioned the M8 for comparison:

Battery life: both are pretty nice and will get you through the day even with heavy use.

Build quality: My G2 is kind of creaky, but the ONE has two dead pixels and additional dust under the screen.

Form factor: The M8 feels nice, but is very slippery and too tall.

Software: Sense 6 is awesome, would even chose it over stock Android. Well done HTC. It's way better than LG's skin.

Camera: I like Zoe, but the M8's camera is really weak, even in low light, now that they removed the OIS. I'm using XDABEBB's camera mod on the G2 and the image quality is outstanding. It's the best overall experience I have had on a phone so far, lowlight is ridiculously good and shots on a sunny day are not much worse than the S5's.

tl;dr: keep the G2
[G2 General] BrandonShea:
Thanks for the replys guys! I'm seeing a lot of controversy over the camera of the m8.i can't really stress enough how much i don't use the camera on on phones. For example im using PA's aosp rom so im stuck with the stock nexus camera software anyway. The camera on that ROM isn't great but it doesnt bother me whatsoever.

[G2 General] AndroidInsanity:
Having got rid of my m8 and went back to G2. I couldn't agree more with this!
[G2 General] BrandonShea:
I might sound like I'm trying to convince myself to get an M8 (maybe i am rofl ) but with that specific instance wasn't it just bad luck? Dead pixels and dust under the screen of the One, My LG G2's back creaked and bended to the point of me having to buy a replacement one. If I were to pick up a One and it had dead pixels it's going riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight back to Telus that day
[G2 General] AndroidInsanity:
Sorry I didn't mean I agreed with the dead pixels and dist under screen I never had that. Apart from volume keys that didn't feel stable at all which is a common issue. When I got my m8 the volume keys were solid. Then they started to wobble. Common issue with the m8.

I had a creaky G2 before. It was a little annoying. But I wouldn't say it would affect the performance.

I can tell a minor speed difference when comparing both stock. M8 seems snappier. But the huge size of the phone for just a 5 inch screen and the very poor camera just ist worth it. Its also very slippery.

conclusion:

LG G2 positives over m8: better rear camera, thinner bezels, back keys are useful when watching videos and taking selfies, and more features in general with great devs.

M8 positives over G2: better build quality, better front facing camera, better speakers, slightly snappier interface. Some devs from G2 have moved to m8 too. So dev support is still great.
[G2 General] whatsitsnamenow:
I have both. The m8 is a much better quality feeling phone no doubt. The only thing that bugs me about the m8 is that it is just too long. I keep on having to reposition where I hold it depending on what I do. Also this phone is heck a slippery. Case is needed pronto.
[G2 General] AndroidInsanity:
That's what annoyed me too... Shouldn't need to hide such a beautiful phone with a case!
[G2 General] buenarc:

[G2 General] bleached45:
This is for the D800, so it may not come to the D803, but there is a super alpha version of an M8 Sense port.

Once (if) it gets worked out, it may be portable to the D803 If not, there are sense themes for CM, so any AOSP that supports CM themes can get some of that aesthetic feel of the M8.

Overall, the devices seem comparable, but it isn't worth the $600+ (unless you have sick cash to throw around, in which case, I could use an AT&T Flex, thanks). :p

Wait until bigger hardware upgrades come out... or Project Ara. :laugh:
[G2 General] masteril:
if you like the sense6 yes its a good idea...but other things..kinda same phone only the speakers is better.the camera on g2 is better.
[G2 General] :
I dumped my g2 and decided to get a g flex. I am loving my g flex now. Played with the m8 and wasnt actually that impressed by it. It runs very smoothly but not a big fan of htc.... Lg has come a long way and i dont think im changing brands for a while.if you dont mind big screens get a g flex. I am running complete stock and found no reasons to root. It just runs very awesome. Even though its not 1080p its friggin sweet. It runs hell of a lot better than the g2. My opinion now on the g2 is the hype is over and so is the experience with it. 4hours battery life screen on time on low brightness wth??? Now im getting close to 6 hours on very bright about 90%. Try it you might like it.
[G2 General] AndroidInsanity:
Doesn't the Gflex have common screen issues though?
[G2 General] :
Im assuming you are talking of the blue screen?

If you are ive seen someone from tmo saying they have that issue. I have not seen that issue on my device.... not on jb or kk. If its to do with the white than its not a popping white like the s5 but its white enough for me. The phone is great. If you get it and have blue on your screen ask for another one instantly.
[G2 General] JJT211:
I used to think having a metal body vs plastic was a big deal, but then i realized that I ALWAYS have a case on my phone ( I gotta protect the investment and keep the resale value high) so IMO the build quality (outside of size) is irrelevant IMO.

That being said, personally, im not all that interested in the m8. If i were to upgrade soon, it would be a toss up b/w the xperia z2, premium s5 (maybe, the new touchwiz is gobbed on a bit to thick for my tastes), G3, or maybe even that new CM Oppo phone that should be coming out soon.

But if you gotta have something now, then id go with the m8 if you gotta have something diff. I honestly think our G2's are the best phones on the market today.
[G2 General] barondebxl:
The G3 is gonna whoop both the S5 and M8's butt.
