[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbnhan89:
So I finally enabled ART as my runtime and came across a problem. I am complete stock with no adjustment until now. Its smooth as eggs but now my internet doesn't even go LTE nor 4g. I've been stuck at h+ rather than mainly on LTE. As I am writing this, I always have LTE in this spot before i enabled ART but it takes like 15 mins to to convert from H+ to LTE. Or if I reboot it'll go back to LTE. Is this a problem that usually occur? If so, I cannot find the solution for it.

May a beautiful soul assist me on this problem thanks!!!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokocabana:
ART shouldn't affect how your radio/modem works because it is only used to run apps. Have you tested this by switching back to dalvik?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbnhan89:
That's my exact reason why I'm confused. It shouldn't be messing with any modem/radio but only apps. I haven't switched back but maybe I should. I really liked the smoothness ART brings to the table. Thanks
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokocabana:
What I'm saying is that ART isn't the problem. It could be a bug with cyanogen or the latest OTA indicates that it may have updated the modem. Have you checked if your preferred network type isn't set to 3G in settings?

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbnhan89:
Yeah checked that and the APN as well. About to go back to the old way
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbnhan89:
I just did it. Its back to normal without any problem getting LTE etc. Sniffles I was liking ART

..originally an SPVM2000 (as u can tell from the keyboard)...with a 2s front casing...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Canaan:
Could explain a bit more how you did this and how easy it is do?

Cheers.

I bought an xda 2s housing off ebay for around 29quid. You will need a T6 Torx screwdriver to open the back. You will also be voiding the warranty by breaking the warranty seal to acces one of the screws. I followed the instructions for removing the back case, front casing and lcd screen from this link

-ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blue%20Angel/sx66_09.pdf-

Took around 30mins to complete...was not difficult at all...just being careful with the smaller components and cables.

Hope this helps. Feel free to pm me if u have any questions.

Thanks so much for your sharing this. I have downgrade my phone from ZVD to ZV7 and get it rooted and CM11 installed. However, I found CM11 is not stable and my GPS module didn't work now. Could you recommend a everyday-use ROM with tethering capability? Many thanks.
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
I use CyanogenMod 11 as my everyday ROM, never have any issues (besides some personal preferences). To confirm that you have a good stable build, check your build number and info. I will post mine below for you to compare to.

To check your build number navigate to Settings > About Phone

I used this download for my CM: Direct Download from CyanogenMod
[Sprint LG G2] damiloveu:
I am using the same ROM as yours. I will flash back to Stock ROM and if the GPS still doesn't work, I have to contact LG to get a replace one.
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
Sounds good. I can confirm that my GPS works fine on this ROM so... Good luck. Let me know if you have any questions!
[Sprint LG G2] AJ GreenHorn:
Can U help me with this....

I have LG G2 LS980ZVC Rooted device, and SuperUser is installed.

I want to migrate from stock ROM to CyanogenMod ROM.

But I want the device to work as of the LG G2 D802 (International).

As I will be using it in INDIA (GSM 850/900/1800/1900).

I am very much new to Android and confused to pick the ROM and about the installation procedure.

Seek expert advice about this concern.

Plz suggest... ( attach Hyper link of threads / Videos about the procedure of installation and ROM download link while replying).

Thanks in Advance.......
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
AJ, I will do some research as to unlocking this phone. I am a bit busy right now but I'll reply by the end of the day.
[Sprint LG G2] AJ GreenHorn:
This phone is already unlocked and works fine with Indian SIM

This phone is already unlocked and works fine with any Indian SIM. I Just want to migrate to CyanogenMod ROM.
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
I can't find any information regarding unlocking on CyanogenMod specifically, but maybe you could do the same steps at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2655133 after you follow my instructions to install CyanogenMod.
[Sprint LG G2] AJ GreenHorn:
:Confused

This phone is already unlocked and works fine with any Indian SIM.

I am Just confused to pick between these two CyanogenMod ROMs :

1. (ls980 LG G2 (Sprint))

https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=ls980

https://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/78482/cm-11-20140804-SNAPSHOT-M9-ls980.zip

OR

2. (d802 LG G2 (Intl))

https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d802

https://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/78458/cm-11-20140804-SNAPSHOT-M9-d802.zip

And any guidelines to install the CynogenMod ROM, as I am New to this.

Thanks in Advance. . :)
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
Never, I repeat NEVER flash or install ANYTHING that is not specifically for your phone!! This is the fastest way to brick your device, possibly permanently. I understand that you have already unlocked your phone, but you've done so on a stock ROM. What I was saying is follow my instructions to install CyanogenMod (the LS980 version) on your phone, then (re)unlock it following the instructions at the thread I linked to. I'm not sure how to unlock on CM11, but it can be done: LG G2 LS980 GSM UNLOCKED!: http://youtu.be/r8XCpm046-k
[Sprint LG G2] emi_fer:
I did try and after a lot of got it to work CM11, you only need ZV8 modem/radio.

Had problems with the GPS even try a lot of apps none of them got it to work, then change the gps.conf file for the orginal LG conf and worked great. The only ROM that the GPS worked since the start was PA all of the others are based on CM so the file wont work, at least for me.

The gps.conf file its on "etc" folder.

CM really its great but to me Omni and most of all that i try in this days (trying to get a good GPS just to play Ingress) Its PA

Good luck
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
I've never had an issue with CyanogenMod. If you wipe before you install and don't do anything funky with it you shouldn't have a problem. Following my instructions CyanogenMod works flawlessly (for me at least).
[Sprint LG G2] emi_fer:
Always Wipe data/Factory reset when change to a different ROM, as i said the only one that worked for me its PA because uses the stock gps.conf thats all
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
How long ago did you have problems?
[Sprint LG G2] Robles23:
I am in the process of resetting everything back to stock. However, I was reading other articles and it mentioned that you must choose the correct files that correspond to either the 16gigs or 32 gigs. In this set of instructions however, it only provides users with one zv8 file for download. I just don't want to mess something up by using the incorrect files. Would appreciate someone's help. Thanks
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
I have seen what you're talking about elsewhere but I don't believe that this applies in this situation. I have the 32GB LS980, and haven't had an issue, still have all my storage space. From everything that I've gathered from the internet when learning how to do everything a wrote the size doesn't matter. If you're still concerned I can do some more digging, but I don't think you'll have a problem.
[Sprint LG G2] Robles23:
Very much appreciate your answer brother. I also have a 32gb model. No need to do more research. I will try this method ones I get home from work today. Ones again, I appreciate your repay and tutorial.
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
Glad to help. If you feel unsure about anything I'm also working on a video to upload to YouTube as well (after I finish it I'll edit the OP) that goes over the process. Good luck. :D
[Sprint LG G2] Robles23:
Hell yeah I will love to watch and follow that tutorial. I will wait for it. Thank you!
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
Alright, I think I'll have it finished tomorrow (I have the day off) and I'll try even harder now that I have someone waiting for it. :)
[Sprint LG G2] Robles23:
I appreciate your motivation in trying to help people out. I am having issues with my phone. Google play store keeps FC. I've tried everything, nothing works. I even performed a factory reset. Did not helped. At this point I really dont care about starting from scratch if I reset my phone with your method. I will follow your video and if everything goes well and I am able to get everything to work as normal, I am willing to make a good donation towards you for your time and effort.

Thanks again.

EDIT: I am unable to download the LS980ZV8_13.TOT File. I click on it, opens a new window but says "Server error". Would you please check the link make sure its working propertly?
[Sprint LG G2] damiloveu:
Thank you very much. I flashed CM11 nightly and there is no issues with GPS any longer.
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
Hmm, that file seems to have a problem with being direct-linked. Try going to http://www.storagecow.eu > Xda > LG G2 > Stock > Sprint and clicking on LS980ZV8_13.zip. Just checked it by that method and it works. Worse comes to worst you can download all the files from Mega using the link I added to the OP. I also just finished the videos, will upload as soon as possible.
[Sprint LG G2] andriodee:
Or you could just downgrade your radio to the ZVA radio and then flash in recovery.
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
I've never had success installing CyanogenMod on ZVA, this is because ZVA patches Loki support. As far as I know you have to go back to ZV8. If you know something I don't, do tell! :)
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
Just so everyone knows, I added the videos to the OP!
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
Update: I was wrong, you DO need GApps for this version of CyanogenMod. I'll link to it in a few minutes. Just download and place it on your phone, then install it from recovery just like we installed CM11.
[Sprint LG G2] blueluck77:
Everything went perfect for me up until installing CM11. The file in the zip from Mega was damaged (it was 0kb) and there was another file that had the same file name but the extension was .zip.part so I went ahead and downloaded it directly from CM and it said there was MD5 error. I am downloadiing it again just in case there was an issue with my download, and I will try it again and let you know. I didn't want to try to wipe everything except for internal memory, because I wasn't sure if it failed I would be able to put any files on the internal storage without being able to boot the phone up. Is this possible in TWRP, to be able to put files on the internal memory while in recovery or would I have to start the process from the beginning?

Here is the link to the Gapps I didn't see it in the original post.

https://s.basketbuild.com/gapps

*edit*

It wasn't an md5 error, I read it wrong. It was an incompatibility error, I did the wipe like you suggested and it was successful. I was just cautious, because when I had my Galaxy Nexus I accidentally wiped internal memory while I was at work and was SOL until I got off that evening. Installed the Gapps and back to aosp, Thank you for everything. Sorry about being overly cautious. I haven't rooted or used any type of ROM since that Galaxy Nexus incident. lol
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
Yes you can sideload while in recovery using TWRP. Not sure why the CM11 zip isn't there I'll re-upload. Thanks for the link to GApps by the way.
[Sprint LG G2] blueluck77:
No problem. Something else you might want to suggest is after the person downgrades to do a PRL update as that isn't possible in aosp. Will take care of some headaches along the way.
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
Yes very good point. I have to do several PRLs usually because I have an Airave lol
[Sprint LG G2] blueluck77:
All my apps installed. Made several phone calls, able to send/receive texts, I haven't tried GPS yet (I wouldn't know an improvement over stock since it always assumed I was in Texarkana, even though I'm in Dallas). Everything seems to be golden. Thanks again for this. I really appreciate it.
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
No problem. Glad everything is working! If you can, a donation is greatly appreciated! Also donations will enable me to make better tutorials and videos. :)
[Sprint LG G2] tj2nis:
My GPS isn't working, I've tried several GPS app but haven't had any luck.
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
tj2nis,

I'm going to need some more information than that. What have you done? Did you follow all of my instructions? What device do you have (16 or 32GB)? Are you on an LS980? Did you restore to the LS980ZV8_13.TOT? What version of CyanogenMod did you install? What have you used for GPS apps? When you say that your GPS isn't working, what do you mean? If you open Google Maps and tap on the circle with four lines coming out of it, does it locate you?
[Sprint LG G2] Dronbaton:
Tot broken file

Hello friends,

Everytime i tried to unzip (unpack) LS980ZV8_13.zip file i get an eror. File is damaged. And it dont want to unzip full.

I tried dowload it couple of times (DM also tried ) and got this message.

Can somebody help me?) Can somebody send me unpacked file?

Thanks.
[Sprint LG G2] Dronbaton:
I tried to unzip a lot of tot files fo LS980 from different sources,

and got only messages :

This file is corrupt,

This archive is corrupt.

Please help friends, need tot file for LS980
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
Must be what you're using for an archive manager or something because all the files I listed in the OP are working and complete.
[Sprint LG G2] Dronbaton:
No my friend,

I tried different archive manager, and got the same problem,

Tried different pc, and got the same problem.

Can you please upload only TOT as it is.

Thanks .
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
http://storagecow.eu/Xda/LG G2/Stock/Sprint/LS980ZV8_13.zip

Try that link. I'll try to upload the .TOT later. But I use that link every time and I've never had an issue. Could it be that it's not downloading completely?
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
I'll upload the .TOT when I can. It's an enormous file, though (over 3GB) so it'll take a little while. For authenticity's sake I'm redownloading the zip from storagecow.eu and then I'll upload the TOT to Mega for ya.
[Sprint LG G2] Dronbaton:
Thanks friend,

If you wil upload tot today - i will send you 5 bucks via paypal for a beer :)
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
Haha that 5 bucks will go to gas :D But thanks! I'll do my best. I have a couple appointments today but I'll leave the file uploading while I'm away. Expect a link to Mega around 2 or 3 PM today. (It's currently 8:47AM).
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
Here ya go! Just the TOT file, not a zip. Uploaded to Mega. Here is the link! Good luck.

Cant Install TWRP

Hi,

I am trying to install TWRP using your method. but, when I open FreeGee, It shows my device is not supported. I think it supports till ZVC. I am using ZVD...

Any possible solution?? I think there should be.. I dont know.. can any1 pls guide??

thanks...
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
FreeGee does not support ZVD. Check out AutoRec, it's an automatic recovery installer for KitKat (ZVD). What are you trying to do with TWRP? If you're going to flash an AOSP ROM (like CyanogenMod) you'll have to restore to ZV8 using a TOT file as described in the OP.
[Sprint LG G2] supasanch24:
Thats not entirely true. I have successfully flashed AICP and Liquid Smooth from the G2 original android development thread. I am currently zvd
[Sprint LG G2] supasanch24:
AICP is my preference.
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
Oh? I didn't realize that. Everything I've read says that any AOSP ROM won't work unless you're on ZV8. Sweet, I'll look into that. What ZV* did you flash from?
[Sprint LG G2] supasanch24:
I was rooted and on zvd. Made a nandroid backup with twrp. Downloaded the latest aicp rom and gapps. Wiped everything except internal. Then Flashed the rom then gapps and rebooted. Let the phone activate the data(don't skip, could take up to 5 min). It was that easy. Liquid smooth is pretty sweet too. These are the only two aosp roms I have tried.
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
Sweet! Thanks I'll check that out tonight. :)
[Sprint LG G2] btrcp2000:
I keep seeing references to cyanogen not requiring root anymore. I can't be rooted for work purposes, but am sick of the LG UI.; Can I flash this and somehow have it be unrooted?
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
No. This is because in order to install a custom recovery you must be rooted. A custom recovery is what enables you to flash CyanogenMod. Sorry. The same is true for any other ROM. May I ask where you saw that? I haven't seen that but if you can point me in the right direction I can do some more research.
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
Did some research, AICP is an AOKP-based ROM, not AOSP. I was able to flash AICP very quickly and easily, I like it to an extent, but it doesn't have QuickWindow by default (I'll look into this later). I haven't tried Liquid Smooth yet, but it is AOSP -based and if I can flash that without a downgrade then I will be blown away. I'll Thank You if I can flash that AOSP without TOT.
[Sprint LG G2] btrcp2000:
http://rootzwiki.com/news/cyanogenmod-without-root-by-default/

this was the article I saw from over a year ago about not requiring root. Sounds nothing has come of it yet
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
What that's saying is that after you install Cyanogenmod you won't have root access unless you use a specific version. You would still need to be Rooted under stock FW to get recovery and cm. :)

Is there any way to install nandroid backup on my unrooted G2?
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
No, in order to use Nandroid you have to be rooted. You can, however, use other backup programs such as Helium.
[Sprint LG G2] shazib0061:
If something goes wrong how could i restore my current rom?
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
Use a program like Titanium Backup or Helium to backup all your apps and data, then put those files on your computer. As a side note, I would recommending write-protecting those files. Then do whatever you're going to do (such as rooting, installing custom recovery, etc.). Immediately after installing a custom recovery, do a backup of everything. Then do a backup if you switch ROMs. This allows you to go back to a known-good state without using a PC and without having to re-root or reinstall the custom ROM. You can also store these backups on your PC (again write-protect them, and check MD5s to verify a 100% copy) to free up space on your phone. I personally kept 2 backups on my phone, and ran a backup every Sunday. The first backup was right after I installed a new ROM, in the ROM's initial state. After that the 2nd backup would be my weekly backup. These backups can take sever GBs. In the event of a brick or error (or you need to go back to stock for, say, repair, selling, or other reasons), use my tutorial to flash back to stock firmware (LS980ZV7/8/A/C/D/E). Hopefully this helped you!

Also, if you use Helium, copy the entire /sdcard/carbon folder onto your PC. When you restore, copy the folder back after you install Helium, then make a backup of one app (just data) to make Helium look for backups in the folder. Otherwise you won't see them.
[Sprint LG G2] shazib0061:
Thanks so much dear you are very kind and helping, I got rooted with your method and installed CM12. It was amazing. Plz tell me one thing that CM12 is updated daily as 2 new updates are available since I downloaded on 28Feb. on there site there is 2 new versions like 1 march and 2 march. would it be necessary to update. one thing more they have not shown any update notes regarding what improvement was done in newer version.

Thanks again
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
No, you don't need to update, those are just "nightlies", the ROM is compiled once a day, sometimes with very little or no improvements. Until there is another "stable" release, don't bother updating.
