If you read the op from xdabbeb's vs982.5 1.0.0, it states that included in the bootstack zip is a bump'd twrp 2.8.1.2 by blastgator. After you flash the bootstack and reboot to recovery, you're all set. You can manually flash a bump'd twrp as well. Either should work. I'd error on the side of following the developer's instructions.

[MENTION=5073918]en11gma[/MENTION] Actually, what you're doing is spreading nonsense/misinformation born of ignorance on how your device and the tools you're using actually work. In effect, you could actually cause problems for people that read what you write and take any of it as truth. Your previous posts were moved to Q&A by a moderator because that was where they belonged. Now, however, I tend to feel they should just be deleted. Your current posts have also been reported.

Case in point...the reason the md5s of your aboot/sbl1/rpm/etc don't match those in the 26A bootstack zip is because anytime you pull a partition using dd it pulls EVERY last block of data...including leftover/unused/non-zeroed data from the previous occupant of that partition. Again, if you actually understood how this all works you would have known this. The 26A bootstack was posted before a kdz was available, so the partitions were pulled from my device after manually installing the OTA. There is no functional difference, however, and even if the ones in that zip were from the kdz they still wouldn't match the md5 (and also the size) of your dd'ed full partitions. Oh, and [MENTION=5073488]ffejy462[/MENTION] is correct that the recovery was/is included to help protect users like yourself that don't have a complete understanding of what's going on from doing something harmful to their device.

I would recommend you do some more reading and learning before posting in the future. You'll save yourself (and more importantly others) a lot of time in the long run.
[Verizon LG G2] ATgiant:
Thank you for clarifying. This instruction was apart of my confusion since he also noted that the bootstack was the same as for the vs980 rom, of which I have installed the non-bumped version. Good chance I'm overthinking this and should just stick to following the instructions. It's worked out well for me so far.
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
I re-re-reread the op, and you're right, the op doesn't clearly indicate the recovery is bump'd, just that it's from blastgator. You should be all set though, and enjoy the new rom (it's really nice)!

where did you get that i DD my stock rom off my phone?

i said like 3x from the stock official 26a kdz rom.

so did you pull these bin files off your working phone and that is why they dont match the ones off the kdz rom?

i mean where did you get these bin files from?

thats fair to ask isnt it?
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
You actually never stated the origin of all the source files for your comparison. Regardless, the answer to your question is in the very post you quoted. Please re-read it. I have nothing more to say on this topic.
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
As stated in the OP of that rom I do suggest reading up on Bump and how it functions, etc. before proceeding. If you're going to install a custom kernel or recovery you need some way to bypass or appease the bootloader's hash checks or it won't allow you to start either. Up until 12b, we had the loki exploit. This was patched by LG starting with 24A, but we still got away with keeping the old 12b aboot in place while updating everything else (though a small patch needed to be applied to every kernel's dtb). Bump is a new exploit which signs the boot and recovery images so that we can now use the newer KK bootloaders...which also means we don't need to worry about patching the dtb, panel differences, etc.

In short...the limiting factor is that your recovery/boot images and the exploit used need to be compatible with your aboot/bootloader or they won't start and you'll see the security error. You can install a bumped rom/kernel along with the 26A aboot from a running copy of a loki'd recovery and 12b aboot, but if you don't ALSO install a bumped recovery, you won't be able to get back into recovery after the next reboot. This is why the 26A aboot along with the bumped kernel and recovery are included in the rom zip. That way I can keep the same bootstack zip everyone has been using...which also provides a solution for people to go back to the old method if they wish to flash kernels/roms/recoveries that haven't been bumped. If I had separated everything out, I can guarantee there would be considerably more problems if people don't read and know what they are doing before flashing.

Thanks for pointing this out. I'll fix it. .I just copied much of the install instructions from the vs980 rom thread. Too much writing.
[Verizon LG G2] en11gma:
so its from your stock official firmware when you had 26a installed on your vs980?

a simple yes or no will suffice

i think when we are running peoples personal kernels that do not match the ones hosted here on xda that say official stock 26a complete rom then when you make a bootstack it should be from that hosted firmware in the main topic

then we would know for sure that the problem isnt from a kernel someone pulled incorrectly not saying that you did but im saying that would be out of the question

so you did the same for the other bin files in 26a bootstack

when i get my new lcd assy for my other vs980 (it has cracked digi) so i use usb otg cable connected to wireless mouse.

i have only had xdabbed installed on that phone. i didnt install cloudyg3 on it

i will be able to repeat the tests more accurately since its with an entirely new phone

(alot of people dont have two lg g2's) some do i know.

i got to find out why the proxy and knock dont work correctly.

i do not buy the b.s. about faulty hardware as the knock works alot of times

i can get it to repeat quite often

i think knock on works for a brief time until phone goes into deeper sleep then 30secs

you can knock on when its 30 sec or less for sure.

ill have you some numbers real soon

not hardware

its software related and we can get to bottom of this i believe.

could you please tell me this.

can i substitute the bin files i extracted with the app that takes apart the kdz and use those bin files to overwrite the ones in your 26a bootstack and also put my twrp 2.8.2.0 bump in there or tell your 26a bootstack installer not to install anything but only a rom

no firmware at all?

be kind and thanks for all the work you and other peoples input to make these roms great.

love them and am no hater.

[Verizon LG G2] gorm:
Once again, here we have peeps bashing a great DEV that has literally done nothing but develope and provide upgrade options and superior stock roms that no one else could have possibly developed.

If you cant read and follow the OP instructions. DONT TRY INSTALLING THE DEVS WORK!!!!

If you dont understand the DEVS instructions, search the forums for answers or GOOGLE IT.

If you still dont understand the " process" then dont install. PERIOD!!!

XDA has become a place were peeps think they can post and whine about "things" they think don't work but they actually do. It just takes RESEARCH to understand!!!!!!!

[MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] sorry for the rant, but heck at least I posted it in the right forum ?
[Verizon LG G2] ATgiant:
Thank you for the detailed explanation. While I understand the basics of using an exploit to get custom software on the phone, the specifics of these exploits are admittedly over my head.

One other point that needs addressing is that the 26a bootstack still contains TWRP 2.8.0.1, not the 2.8.1.2 from blastgator. Regardless, the rom installed and is running great. I haven't tried booting back into recovery, but it sounds like i should install 2.8.1.2 from adb or terminal before I do.
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
I corrected the instructions for the vs982.5 rom. You don't need to flash any new recovery as the rom zip itself also installs the bumped recovery along with the 26A bootloader. If you ever want to go back to a firmware package (or more accurately a boot image) that hasn't been bumped, all you need to do is install the 26A bootstack zip. It will put everything in place. I may try to think of a way of simplifying this whole loki/bump debacle that we're all in, but I need a week off.

Also, I don't think [MENTION=1816852]gorm[/MENTION]'s post was directed at you. I believe it's more of a general frustration with other events. I would recommend removing the name-calling, however. Let's try to play nice, ok?

I have gotten myself into the dreaded boot certification loop. If I go into fast boot it says fast boot oops then freezes at fast boot commands. plug unplug does same. I still have recovery and I am in it now. But it is the bumped 2.8.1.2version. My problem is I lost all the download install files. . I think I factory reset everything . the 2.2.0 the loki 12 B the etc.are no longer there. So I have nothing to to install and no way of downloading them because of boot loop . Also I am on win 7 and ADB does not see my device. . Worst part is I had everything set up fine and was working good and had downloaded all my apps etc. and went back in to play with different navbars and totally messed my phone up. I have been playing with this for 6 hours. Never flash with no sleep. I am assuming I now have a nice expensive paperweight. Any help or ideas?

I do not know how to get the 24A or 12B boot stack to run or do anything in fastboot. The adb side load feature in TWRP2.8.1.2 bumped version just is trying to run but will not load. The big thing is I have lost all the install files in TWRP. and on my Meenova otg I have all the Malladus backups but the nandroid I made seems to be corrupted. And my computer no matter that I have downloaded drivers and flash tool on Win 7 does not see the phone or even the usb port. Have tried the different usb ports on computer .Nothing. Frustrating is that I have gone back to stock before and all these tools and drivers worked. now old new drivers and flash tools nothing.I guess I am more noob than I thought. lol

Can't you download rom and bootstack and transfer to otg? Then flash rom via otg on phone... I'm not particularly familiar with the meenova otg. Mine is double ended: one side micro usb, the other is regular usb. Really easy to go from computer to phone. Especially if it's not my computer.

GPS issues anyone?

I probably posted in the wrong place recently.

Inheritted a vs980 brick over Xmas and have managed to get it working, rooted, and loaded xdabbeb 2.3.0 (26a) ROM succesfully. Even got knock on to work (without complaining) ... the only thing I'm not having any success with is the GPS

I'm only getting 1 satellite, and then only sometimes, and it's locating over 1 mile off, probably running off of "internet" location point... does not appear to be pulling data from satellite?

I read someplace this has to do with the radio's after jellybean (12.x?) if it's not a hardware related problem (I have read alot about GPS not working on this phone) but since it was donated :) I shouldn't be to gripy.

Has there been success with accurate GPS with this ROM/radio? All input appreciated

thanks in advance

GPS partial fix!

I read some of the threads, seemed to be for the LG G3, not G2 but I'm a noob :)

I've "somewhat" fixed GPS. Using the play app GPS Status, following destructions from that app: It said stand near a window, no satellites, so then I tried walking outdoors (my house has a tin roof) -- STILL no satellites. Since the destructions said, "Clear view of the Sky" I walked wayyyy up my driveway, out from under the BARE LIMBS OF TREES.... Suddenly (after restting GPS and etc), I get about 6 sats!

Which now locate me within like 80 meters which is fine. HOWEVER -- I have yet to test this in the car (with a metal roof)

Using AndroidTS GPS test, the gps fluctuates sometimes locating me accurately, then jumping to a point about 2 miles from here, then back to "close to" accurate. This seems to indicate the s/w (GPS testing app used) is getting "confused" ?? The accurate locates would have to be coming from satellites? But then it "flops" back to an inaccurated default when satellite signal becomes weak? (I am guessing how it works)

Would this indicate a hardware problem with my device (getting poor satellite signals) obviously GPS *IS* working in the ROM or it'd not work at all. I suspect the intermittent position jumps are HARDWARE for my vs980?

Any thoughts?

Hi guys, im running this rom and its the best so far.

The only issue that i found is that i cant set the maximum cpu speed to a lower one.

At first, I tried with setcpu but the speed bumps to 2.26ghz anyway.

Then i tried with CPU tuner and it stays longer in the speed that i defined, but it jumps to 2.26ghz sometimes.

What program or method can i use to limit the speed of the cpu?

Havent done or installed anything weird, just regular apk from play store so its a "clean" installation.

Thanks!

Try trickstermod.

Not sure what you're trying to accomplish setting max cpu lower... Battery life is already great. Fyi, mentioned a few times, but turning on wifi Hotspot (maybe other settings as well) will change governor to performance, then revert to ondemand when turned back off.

Hi, thanks for the answer. I want to do that because some games (shame on you clash of clans) drain sooo much battery. One thing that i noticed is that they raise the cpu all the time to 100% but if you lower the cpu to 1ghz, it runs the same way, no fps drop and cooler/battery lasting more.
