[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
copied from a post in here.

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)

Also, just in case, I realize cloudy's isn't an AOSP rom, but being a custom stock-based rom on the g2 with a locked bootloader, you can pretty much treat it like one. It does, however, offer the option to update the modem.

When did this become a mess? During the introduction of CAF (qualcomm optimized branch for devices) sources for the G2. The ONLY issue with the LP-bootstack is when you try to flash older roms, that use a loki exploit found in the JELLYBEAN bootloader and patched on the KITKAT bootloader. This might require another bootstack, or not. No one really bothered to check compatibility with older versions and for good reason.

Auto rec is twrp. so if you are rooted. and have twrp by using autorec. then install twrp from blastagator thermal. then install hybrid. go to main menu in twrp, reboot into twrp and copy rom from pc while intwrp and flash.

On D802 it is Volume Down + Power but on LS980 it is Volume UP + Power.

Anyway I tried that also. It did not work. I tried holding Volume Down + Power

also tried Volume Down + Power then on LG logo appear Release the buttons and quickly hold them again. Nothing worked.

I wonder if anybody else have successfully installed cloudy on Sprint LS980!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 60nine:
did you turn your device completely off before trying button combination to enter twrp...

i mean completely off (without LG logo appearing)

afaik, button combo depends on bootloader...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saaqirajput:
Yes I did. Pressed the power button until the phone turned off then turned on again showed LG logo and turned off again.

Now completely off state. Won't turn on itself automatically. Waited for 5 seconds. Tried the both combinations. Did not work!

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arshim:
I have weak signal level displayed on my phone on Cloudy G2 3.3. Sometimes just 1 or 2 signal bars on 3G. But even with the single bar the call never drops and sounds normal.

Still, I think there is a mod available somewhere in xda that helps fix the signal issue.

Would be nice if Anyone who has tried it can share the link to the call signal improvement mod and provide some feedback if it really helps.

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------

if the signal drops completly the you need most recent, baseband/modem samething just different names.

if you dont get drops but signal is full then it lowers minus 2-3 bars then do the following.

using a file explorer go to

root/ or device

then system/ build.prop. edit build.prop and find this line

example. just change what ever it says in operator to OPEN

ro.build.target_operator=AT&T

ro.build.target_operator=OPEN and then putting in the APN

this should fix the signal bar lowering and rising.

Smart Lock not working properly

I have a Xiaomi Mi Band. I used it with smart lock on previous ROMs, like BlissPop or CM. It worked flowlessly. I didn't have to retype my PIN for four hours of idle time. But now, on Cloudy it is nearly useless. I have to retype the PIN after about 30 mins of not using my phone. It is very disappointing, smart lock is useless this way. I don't understand what's happening. This feature is built in the Android, and it's fixed at four hours. And still, it's not working. Strange thing is, it's good for ~30 minutes.

I tried to keep Bluetooth visible but it didn't help. Now I don't know what to do. I'm thinking of reverting to AOSP, although I like the stock camera and the sort-of stability.

Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks!

Because [MENTION=270378]Cloudyfa[/MENTION] lives in a cool place, he neither likes heatings nor draining batteries.

(hahahahhaha) Don't mind han, but do a factory reset either from settings> General Tab > backup and reset OR going in to TWRP recovery > wipe and swipe for wipe don't use advance wipe or select anything in the wipe menu. Good Luck

hay [MENTION=3594537]creepin[/MENTION] sorry for the late answer but, you know our area, either there isn't Net connection or if there is Net then there is no power to power on electronics, So it happens. And i hope you havn't been waiting for my answer all that time and must have searched a lot of ways to do that, first of all you should read the main post of Cloudyfa that is Cloudy G3 v3.3 for all LG G2's there you will get the main idea for installation.

AND BELIEVE ME IN ALL THAT TIME WHEN I WAS TYPING THIS FOR YOU THERE WAS NO POWER/ELECTRIC, , ITS 4 am HERE AND MY EVO WINGLE NET HAS TRIPPED ALMOST 8 TIMES IN THAT ONE HOUR PERIOD (HOW WILL THIS COUNTRY BE DEVELOPED YAAR)

In my opinion you need to go back to ZVE that is how you tot flash the ZVE file of LS980 you can find it on storagecow.eu/xda/LGg2 section

1. at here http://www.storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/Sprint/ OR

here http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2

2. And then offcourse you need to root it with LG One Click root method that is what i know there may be too many other ways, if you want to use LG oneclickroot option just search it in the XDA search box it works for all LG devices so do be specific to G2

3. you will need to install AutoRec after you get root, the autorec will install basic TWRP in your device and Yes you may want to install the latest TWRP from here https://dl.twrp.me/g2spr/ or this https://github.com/danielstuart14/h...ls980/bootstack-ls980-CAF-signed.zip?raw=true will definitely do the job for you to direct install v3.3 (it is actually your KK_boatloader AND it is very much neccessary for you to install it other wise you can't install v3.3 At least i couldn't do it!)

4. And the main thing is you Cloudy G2 v3.3 thanks to cloudyfa : here http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=13425

I apologize if I am asking a repeated question!

Bought a G2 it showed up as D802, rooted and used Autorec ended up with white lines, didnt have time so gave it to the repair guys and he fixed and said that its LS980 and was converted to D802 thats what cause the white lines trouble. Anyways phone now shows up as LS980 on Sprint, software version LS980ZV7, running 4.2.2 and rooted.

I want to install CloudyG2 3.3. Now please! Help me where to start. The repair guy told me that it wont be carrier unlocked if I upgrade to lollipop, but I think otherwise. A lot of threads around pointing everywhere. I'd really appreciate if anyone of you can point me to the specific threads from where should I start. So far I understood that I have to first upgrade to Kitkat, then root and get TWRP via Autorec and then install CloudyG2 3.3. But since I almost bricked it once (with white lines) I am afraid to run in the wild.
