[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
ill post some answers and see if it helps.

Sometimes, especially with locked bootloaders and restricted device sources, closed-source updates that come from the manufacturer (in this case, LG), update these very crucial folders/files to make them work with new firmware/software updates. This was the case when LG updated the G2 from Kitkat to Lollipop.

When the official update came into place, they updated the rom (/system), updated the user apps (/data), updated the stock recovery, updated the bootloader to LP and updated a lot of other files/folders including the modem, laf, etc.

All of these are essential to make a ROM work properly and not updating these causes issues (random reboots, no sound, no knock on, no GPS, etc). As there are many variants for this device, it's very difficult to keep track of what keeps breaking what.

For this, devs have released a bootstack (a collection of files and folders which you can see here) for each variant that had an official Lollipop release. It updates the bootloader, modem and all the other partitions.

The bootloader used however, is the KITKAT version, as the lollipop version has no exploit available to have a custom recovery on. Modem is usually LP, although some users report to use KitKat.

So...what's next?

If you're on stock lollipop, you NEED a KITKAT bootloader. Use autorec v2 from the playstore and then -> flash LP bootstack. This should get you the necessary bootloader and overwrite the already present LP files/modem

If you're on stock kitkat, you already HAVE a KITKAT bootloader. If you're missing root, use autorec v1 found in the development section and you're missing what could possibly fix the issues mentioned above, stored in the LP files/modem -> flash LP bootstack.

If you're on stock jellybean, you don't have EITHER a KITKAT bootloader or the LP modem/files -> flash LP bootstack

Now here comes the interesting part

If you're on AOSP without CAF sources, you're using a JELLYBEAN bootloader and have no LP modem/files. You need a KITKAT bootloader to flash CAF roms -> flash LP bootstack

If you're on AOSP with CAF sources, you're using a KITKAT bootloader and you might or might not have LP modem/files. Might as well -> flash LP bootstack

If you're still unsure, just read the official instructions (these do the same as the bootstack does, as updating to official lollipop will get you all the lollipop files, and flashing autorec v2 will downgrade the only thing you need, the bootloader, to the KITKAT version)

Aosp 5.1.1 and 6.x.x rom need bumped lp bootstack

Stock based 5.0.2 Install any kk or lp bootstack

Cm and rr rom only need loki bootstack for some dovice

Kk aosp need jb bootstack and kk modem

Kk based rom need kk bootstack and modem

Always better to use bumped recovery

not sure , but i remeber that you can update touch firmware. but i dont know how.

and mine doesnt work sometimes i have top pick up phone and place it in front of me standing then tap a bit hard and then it works.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1c3:
First of all thank you very much for the responding in such a detailed manner. I'll made a sequence here as per my understanding, correct me if I am wrong please.

So firstly, yeah Android version is now 4.2.2 so its Jellybean. Meaning I dont have KK bootloader or the LP files. I should proceed to flash LP Bootstack from this thread;

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/development/lg-g2-bootstacks-t3173715

There are 2 options for LS980 and I dont have any idea what is "bump" and "loki". Which one should I go with?

Not even the slightest idea what is AOSP or CAF here. But I see both ways end up with flashing LP bootstack. But as far as this device is on JB, it would be on JB Bootloader and not KK.. right?

I am not sure CloudyG2 3.3 is based on AOSP or what and what is bumped recovery. Not that I am unaware of rooting and recoveries, but yeah still a newbie and never came across bumped recovery or bootstack.

So far I understand that official lollipop will get me all the lollipop files and then I'll have to downgrade the bootloader to KK. But still cant understand how to get to lollipop.

I read kdz and tot related topics but confused about which file to choose as the current software version is LS980ZVA. Should I download the ZVA file from that thread or the ZVC file and then proceed with LG Flash tool and then the rest. I cant get OTA, it did few updates from LS980ZV7 to LS980ZVA, even downloaded ZVC update but nothing happened after its installation, software version still ZVA and android version 4.2.2 even though it stated during the ZVC update that its an Android update. After that LG Software update says system is up to date and Updating Firmware ends up with authorization error.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
Use the bumped one . not sure either but i think it was the first way when they unlocked bootloader.

aosp is not stock rom. theres CM and aosp. they are similar but i think android open source project AOSP is more pure android. CAF code aurora forums. used in CM or AOSP.

well ive never been on KK i got mine on LP and me too still learning, i came from S2 and it was easier to flash. so like i said those post above i copied from someone. just in case someone needed them.

well i asked once i have d800 if going KDZ i dont need to do anything. just flash rom. cause i wanted to try KK and i asked this guy what should i flash and he said just the KDZ. no thing else. and to go back to LP same a LP KDZ.

so like i said am never been in KK. just trying to help you here.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1c3:
Well I am neither on AOSP or CAF. I am on the earliest stock 4.2.2 JB, you can LS980ZV7. Then updated it from ZV7 to ZV8 n then ZVA, also tried for ZVC but not happened after the 618mb download, rebooted, installation went fine but nothing happened on the phone, still at ZVA and on 4.2.2. So now downloading ZVE kdz and gonna try that. Lets hope it wont brick the device!

Again thanks!

Edit:

Finally updated to LS980ZVE 4.4.2, rooted and sim unlocked! Can I proceed right away with cloudyG2 3.3 installation or have to use Autorec? As far as I understand I am stock KK so it means I do have KK bootloader thus I can fearlessly proceed with CloudyG2 3.3? Asking again and again because I dont wanna run into those white lines again!

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DekkerP6:
Hello everyone,

I've spent some hours on the forums and I'm still confused about the KK bootstack, bootloader (what's the difference?), kernels and so on that are necessary to successfully install Clougy G2.

I have: a D802 on Kitkat 20h, rooted with stump root.

To install, would it be correct to:

- Install TWRP with Auto Rec v1

- Update to latest blastagator's TWRP

- Should I flash a different bootstack/bootloader/Reboot through recovery considering I'm already on Kitkat??

- Full wipe (Dalvik, Cache, System & Data)

- Flash CloudyG2

- Profit?

Please let me know, I'm losing it :p.

Pull out the battery.

Plug in the battery, press volume up and then plug in usb. you will be in download mode.

Now you can flash kdz.

You can also use this way to go to recovery mode too.

Another question to XDA Gurus!

I finally installed CloudyG2 3.3 on my LS980 and working flawlessly now. Just I cant use 3G now. I enable the data and it just shows the "E" = Edge sign. I am not sure which G2 variant supports the bands in Pakistan and which doesnt.

I just check that LS980 supports HSDPA 2100Mhz (thats the 3g band in Pakistan) but yet all I am getting is Edge :(

Hi,

I have problem with storage. Mine was 32 GB version.

The System data under Misc. shows as 21.8 GB. Due to which i have only around 10 GB free space left out.

Actually what i did was, I was on CloudyG2 3.3 ROM, since i had some signal issues i tried to flash Stock ROM KDZ.

As my signal issue did not get resolved, I again moved back to original CloudyG2 3.3.

Not sure what was occupying in system data. I believe cloudy data should be less than 10 GB only.

please help on How to reclaim the space. Thanks.

I am facing the same problem with you after installing this ROM on F320K F320S , i just entered on TWR recovery and reflashed the previous version for the ROM cloudy g3 2.2 rom (restore to stock from back up is not working on TWR recovery, i always get boot loop). But is best to flash kdz first., then back to cloudy g3 2.2 since this one is working fine. Hopefully some one will come up with a solution for the black screen issue. Take care

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] channeledbymodem:
Does 3.3 auto-detect JDI panel?

I'm about to receive my *second* G2 and plan to install 3.3 on it. The first one was plagued by the white lines issue before I learned about the two different panels. It also had yellow spots from poor quality control on the glue, so I returned it.

I'm buying the T-Mobile variant and kind of assuming it will have a JDI panel. I will check it with Bender's Panel Info app immediately after rooting.

Assuming the phone *does* have a JDI panel I could use some guidance:

1) In the past Auto-Rec's version of TWRP brought on the white lines problem. In fact months ago Bender suggested he might update Auto-Rec to auto-detect the panel and install TWRP accordingly.

I don't know if this ever happened or if it did, where to get the updated version.

So what is the safest way to install TWRP with a JDI panel?

2) I am also aware of Bender's Little Kernel Flasher. I am unclear as to when I might use that. Should I use LKF immediately after rooting before running Auto-Rec?

3) So one way or the other let's assume I now have a compatible kernel with a compatible TWRP on stock lollipop. However I'm assuming that Cloudy 3.3 installs its own kernel so will the Cloudy 3.3 kernel auto-detect the JDI panel or is there something I have to do to avoid the white lines?

Thanks,

Ron

Guys i got a new bug in the system my device's battery is still on 80% for last 7 hours can you guys brief it.

Edited: It might not be a bug in the ROM because it happened, after, i did something in the hidden system menu i.e. 3845#*980#

I wanted to update the display firmware and might have pressed some other options in there, So, calling the battery level stuck on 80% may no be a ROM problem.

Knock on still doesn't work, (i can knock off but can't knock on, means when the screen is on and i double tape to knock off the screen but when the screen is off, doesn't matter how much i tape it doesn't come on)

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] channeledbymodem:
To answer my own question:

1) The phone came with the latest lp for the D801. Panel info showed it has a jdi panel (I think all/most 801s do). I rooted with one click root for lg and installed twrp with autorec for lp from the play store.

2) I immediately flashed blastagator's twrp 3.0 for insurance against black lines on the screen.

3) Flashed Cloudy 3.3 successfully.

4) Flashed the dorimanx kernel with ota app from the play store. Again I wanted insurance against screen problems. This might have been unnecessary since the cloudy installer may automatically choose the right kernel for the jdi panel.

All in all this was a much smoother experience than last time and I am really liking the G2, especially since I only paid $110 for one in mint condition.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Volterk:
Hello, The problem is fixed... I was in a KK cloudy 2.2, with twrp 2.7.0.0 via autorec v1.

I thought I had KK bootloader because I had KK... And that was the problem.

Autorec downgraded my bootloader to JB in order to avoid the lock in the at&t model.

I restarted in recovery mode

I wiped everything except internal

Rebooted into recovery

Flashed KK bootloader for D800

Flashed cloudy g3 3.3 LP

Rebooted and waited a few minutes at the LG screen (scared as sh** because my recovery got broken when I flashed KK bootloader) :crying:

Android is upgrading 124 apps

Passed

At this point everything was fine except my recovery was broken

Download Autorec v2 and flash twrp...

But when I rebooted the screen was showing a SECURITY F*****G ERROR :silly:

So I went to twrp, (thank god It was still working) And flashed Cloudy G3 3.3 once again.

Now I have a KK bootloader, a newer version of twrp via autorec 2(cant remember wich exactly), and cloudy g3 3.3 LP.
