Hi i using 30B version from yesturday, rooted with xposed and no problems :)
[G2 General] CTPAX.RU:
Hi all,

I am on a custom mod of KitKat, and Software Update section is not available in menu.

Now, if I want to upgrade to Lollipop, which way is preferred? Should I reset to factory firmware first and then make a standard upgrade to v.5, or it doesn't matter, and I can flash official Lollipop directly through TRWP?

And, if I choose the first option, did they already roll out Lollipop for G2 on T-Mobile in the Netherlands?

Thanks in advance for your replies!
[G2 General] tauheed90:
Try this.

http://lg-phone-firmware.com/

and select G2 in the list

This website have all the firmwares for lg phones. I haven't got the chance to test any firmware myself but it has all listed right there.
[G2 General] ShurDiego:
Has the led bug dissapeared? It's the only thing that makes me upgrade from 30A...
[G2 General] TehSebaXx:
UK released it.

Could anyone tell me the difference between A6FR and AFRA?
[G2 General] :
A6FR should be for the 16GB variant and AFRA for the 32GB variant. I think..
[G2 General] PsychoTribe:
Mine 30a->30b was 1.6GB heh.
[G2 General] TheTorontonian:
That's what I figured. At first I thought it would be carrier related but it seems not to be. So, if France and UK got the update for D80220H Germany should theoretically not be too far away from getting it, or am I wrong?
[G2 General] TehSebaXx:
Netherlands just got it. Still no Germany.

[G2 General] UKseagull:
Phones software didn't show it as available, but the LG Suite did. Hurrah!
[G2 General] TheTorontonian:
It may sound a little weird but this simply states that the KDZ is available for the respective device, not the OTA update? So I would need to flash it via the LG flash tool... Is a CSE flash going to be needed? (a complete clean install?)

I hope they polish Lolipop a lot.

I just purchased my G2, it had stock 4. 4 out of the box and I already encountered bugs in software.

Like knock on not working properly all the time, sometimes takes like 5 taps to wake.

Mobile data not working, having to switch to airplane mode on/off for it to work.

Then a UI bug where location marker stayed at status bar forever when I turned off Location, reboot fixed it.

[G2 General] kouzelnik3:
LG PC Suite sometimes shows that you are not able to restore anything, what you backed up through pc suite after update to lollipop because of new lollipop security.

Yea pretty darn annoying. Im unrooted updated via pc suite so officially.

Camera is worse and battery still shows 1900mAh. Generally, that loading screen when entering things appear on times where kitkat would just blast through the load times in milliseconds.

Only thing lp has brought to the G2 that is good is the G3 UI.

I just updated my LG G2 D802 to lollipop 5.0.2., but now my softtouch menu button is gone!!

Is there a way to get it back, because I use it alot.

I really need the menu button,because all important settings were there, especially when You use third party launchers; like I do

I searched for it, but it is nowhere to be found, not even under the "rearrange softtouch buttons" tab.

How to Restore ?? Please help

Yesterday I did a backup before flashing the D80230B KDZ on my phone using LG PC suite. After update to lollipop everything works smooth and fine. NO issues till now but not able to restore it using the backup done via PC suite.

Its there any way to manually restore the data ? Guys pls help as I have all the contacts data backed up and now not able to get anything. BTW LG pc suite says due to security feature backup restore will not work properly.

1. I was on v30a with blastagator twrp (installed autorec then blastagators twrp)

2. Flashed jb bootloader/laf

3. Flashed resurrection remix 5.1 + Gapps

4. Flashed kk baseband

5. reboot and DONE !! :D :laugh: :victory:

[G2 General] happiness4u:
You should have used the LG Backup app within the phone. That's much reliable than LG PC suite. I've able to backup my Kitkat data, restore it to Lollipop and vice versa with no issues. Just some kitkat settings backup will be lost as lollipop has less setting conf that kitkat.
[G2 General] sarvan_me:
Thank you for the reply, but I didn't do the backup via the app.. So what to do now.. Any other alternative way?
[G2 General] shiroineko:
You should backup with LG backup app that can be downloaded on playstore and use it to backup and restore.. Working on my G2 no problem.
[G2 General] happiness4u:
Try reverting back to your old rom where you've made the PC Suite backup and try to restore it. If PC suite was able to restore your files/data, then make an LG backup from your phone, when backup is done, move your LG backup somewhere safe in your PC, so you can use it later to restore it via LG Backup app. The location of the backup from your device is in /sdcard/LG Backup.

Copy your backup file to the internal memory and restore from there. The stick restore has been buggy like that since kk.

---------- Post added at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

Should have done a backup from the phone using lgbackup. PC Suite backups never worked properly. Try restoring your contacts from gmail, or a contacts sync with the PC (assuming you've synched your contacts, not just backed them up)

So it's not worth upgrading?

I'm currently sitting with D80220H version.
[G2 General] i_mendes:
Hi. My version was 6MP/TMN(PORTUGAL) V20h (locked to TMN), and there isn't a V30 yet for this version yet, so I flashed the kdz file with V30a (6PR/PORTUGAL_OPEN_16G). Everything is fine. Now there is a new version V30b for 6PR/PORTUGAL_OPEN_16G , but when I connect my phone to LG PC Suite or to LGMobile Support Tool, it says that I have the latest version 80230a. Why I'm not getting the notification that there is a new update? It's because I'm not on the original rom? But both apps recognizes the V30a version.

well if there is no update available it will say 'You're already on the latest firmware'.

I will suggest restart ur phone and system as well and try again.

This is the problem I have. New version is available but still no OTA. So I decided to install it via PC Suite LG Mobile Support Tool but the LG Mobile Support detects that's there is a new update but stays on "waiting connection " and PC Suite detects new update as well but give me error. So I tried to install kdz but my phone doesn't enter in download mode (starts charging only). Also tried to use the recover tool from Mobile Support but it shutdown after downloading the firmware. So any idea of what can I do?
[G2 General] vladmir:
Download the right kdz for our phone and flash with LG flash tool, flash with normal way and you don't loose any data.

So I found two LG phones which use 1900 mA battery.

[G2 General] shut_down:
Does it affect battery life or it is only "on the paper" thing? Because I did not notice 30% lower battery life when I updated to LP. [emoji3] As long it lasts how much it should, I do not mind what is written in some info app. [emoji41]
[G2 General] Artasdmc:
It's only a paper thing.

But I don't know if the newest stock ROM shows it since I didn't update yet.

The leaked one did, the leaked shows 1900 mA as your battery.

If you updated to the newest stock lolipop rom go to the battery settings and check what mA number it shows.

Basically, lg made a fool of us g2 users taking away many features from kk. The features and customizableness of kk taken away. Camera lost raw and is worse in terms of quality .

Launcher has no lock screen widgets than the round circle, navigation bar has no gradient theme, Slide aside not there, wireless storage taken away.

They just ported a sub par phone rom and threw it at g2 calling it lollipop. Shameless on part of lg.

Will not buy an lg again, ever

actually it seems that the notification led problem is present. I saw it on Whatsapp, after reading the message the led keeps blinking. I can only make it stop by disabling/enabling the notification led in settings.

Anyone solved this issue so far?
[G2 General] robogo1982:
Lockscreen widget removal was Google's decision, not LG'S. Shortcuts are back with 30b.

As for the ROM, it's superb. You, though, are more than welcome to stick with KK.
[G2 General] berryman13:
I don't know if you guys know me, I maintain BlissPop for the d800. Thinking about trying this out, I remember stock kk 4.4.4 to be fantastic (with dorimanx' kernel and xdadeb's camera binary- -both of which are not yet available)....

Is it worth it in terms of battery life, smoothness and stability? AOSP has a few reboots a day and some general bugginess, and this is the fault of LG mostly. Regardless, that's the case -- we want to build 5.1.1 ROM's and LG hands us 5.0.1 source after months and months of using older source to run it....they're kinda just screwing with us.

Anybody go from RR or BlissPop 5.1.1 -> Stock Lollipop and enjoyed it?

From my understanding this is the process:

ONLY FOR D800

1) Stock d80020c file.

2) Follow the 2nd post to update to d80020y

[G2 General] vklexer:
Well Battery life on 30B is the same. For me it is about 25% worse than I had on kitkat. If mobile data or wifi is on, it drains about 2-3% per hour on iddle. I've even froze a lot of apps, still same ****. I might just try to factory reset one more time and go from 0, since i didnt do a factory reset when updating to 30B from 30A.

People who are getting 5+ hours sot with 3 days of iddle are full of ****.
[G2 General] Artasdmc:
So from what I understand it's not worth upgrading from kitkat. I'm running D80220H version and if you upgrade to lolipop you get:

Removed lockscreen widgets

Camera loses raw capture and quality is worse, others report.

Battery shows as 1900 mA (Cosmetic bug) and some report that the life is better and some say it's worse.

Slide Aside removed.

Different lockscreen swipe animations removed.

So I guess it's better to stick to stock Kitkat or other great KK roms like Cloudy ones.
[G2 General] Blackherted:
1. honestly the removed lockscreen widgets don't bother me that much... everything is just a click away and the shortcuts which i used a lot are still there

2. camera is indeed worse

3. don't see how is that bad O_O btw my battery life is the same if not improved.

4. did you really use that horrible feature?

5. the lockscreen swipe animations are still there.

Overall I'm very happy with the update. the new refreshing look is a blessing for this phone cause i hated the LG G2 UI very much... the phone feels much fluid (not cause of speed but because of lollipop's effects which make using the phone a lot more fun) and the new button placement and new recent apps menu are just awesome.
[G2 General] vladmir:
Yes, search for kdz extract tools here on xda g2 forums.

If you use the camera a lot then you should definetly stay on kitkat.

Also wireless storage has been removed.

An option is CloudyG2 or OptimusG3 port if you want to get rid of G2 UI.

You know that feature on G3 ported ROMs where you swipe anywhere on the screen to switch between front/back camera? That has not been added on LP either.

The LED-problem is present in v30a and v30b, it depends on how you open the messages.
