sorry if you mind check my screen shots in cdma mod i cant get signals

in global mod i just get gsm mean 2g only what i do o get 3g service ? where is the problem ?

another q otg working in this rom ?
[Sprint LG G2] qhemani11:
OK this is the steps I did to get my LTE working on my Boost Mobile LG G2

1. First make sure your Data is off.

2. Go to Network mode and change it to CDMA

3. Turn on Data in wait for it to connect to 3G

4. Once its connected turn Data off.

5. Then change Network mode to Global and turn Data back on you should be connected to LTE.

Remember if you reboot your phone you will have to do the steps again don't know why. Hope that help.
[Sprint LG G2] dikachik1:
All my files in my sd storage got corrupt while installing Rom, don't know maybe cos I chose the option to install trwp. When I change to cdma when attempting to change network symbol, all my network goes off. Very good and great Rom.

how to install the rom

hello guys,

sorry for a silly query but i couldnt find the answer anywhere. I just purchased the G2 LS980, updated to zvg and have it rooted and unlocked.

Now where can i find detailed steps on how to install this rom(or any rom for that sake)? Should i try to install autorec first? What recovery will i need to install to take backup and also install this rom?

Please guide.

This is the first rom i've seen that uses the Modem from ZVH.

Where is the modem file? (I don't see the modem.img in the .zip)

Is there any noticeable improvements to signal?
[Sprint LG G2] Need4Sneed:
I noticed you said you're on Boost. I am also on Boost using a Sprint G2, currently on UltraPop v1.2 (ZVG), and my question is . . since I had to be on a rooted stock ZVG to flash UltraPop, did you flash from a ZVG based ROM, and if so, did you have any issues with the radio/modem since this ROM has a ZVH radio/modem? I only ask because of the issues with flashing ZVx based radio firmwares over one another without coming from its paired firmware since they are somewhat ROM-specific.

It would be GREAT to have another ROM alternative. The pickings are already slim for the Sprint G2, and even slimmer when it comes to getting full compatibility when using Boost . . even though Sprint owns Boost and modding should be rather simple.

Alas, it can be a challenge.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as would any info regarding your process for achieving a working install.

Thanks much bro.

[Sprint LG G2] qhemani11:
Yes I just flash the Rom.. But now I'm on IceX.. I don't think it's different cause you flash a Sprint to Boost. Plus make sure you have a backup of your Ultra Rom just in case.. I'm a girl by the way
[Sprint LG G2] Need4Sneed:
Thanks much!! Sorry for the gender assumption, my bad.

I'm not familliar with IceX, do you get stable LTE using it? I was a Moto G/Moto X user for the longest time, so I'm used to more "developer-friendly" devices. I do love the G2, I just need to find a better ROM that gives me at least some level of customization over stock.

Thanks for the quick reply, and def let me know how IceX has been for you.

- S

P.S. - With Sprint now (owning &) controlling Boost, there's no flashing needed anymore when it comes to certian devices. Just a quick UICC update/MEID/ESN addition to Boost's system, and it's done. However, if the device isn't on the spproved list of Sprint devices, you def have to do a flash over to Boost . . unless you have an insider who can put the info in the system ;)

How to improve Signal strength and quality

Hello frnds,

I am on this ZVG mod rom . I use ls980(sprint model) in India as its unlocked. But i find that the signal quality and strength both are not good. Most people find it difficult to hear me clearly even with 3 out of 5 bars network signal strength. What can i do to improve this? Should i try some other Kernel??

Otherwise this is a beautiful rom. Stable , fast and good battery life. I have never tried any other rom on this phone worrying that if i flash anything my phone might get locked again. Is it so? Can i try CM13(the new one) without locking the phone's sim ?
[Sprint LG G2] atgeorge:
Same problem here.

Rom is easy to install. Works realy nice. Is charging fast even with stock.

But slow data for me(2g I think).

And no wifi and bluetooth.

Unlock worked great. No problems.

Best regards.
[Sprint LG G2] im_back_bencher:
No one repliedd but i sort the green camera problem my self it was caused by lgcam or xcam whatever app it is.
[Sprint LG G2] Need4Sneed:
One more question for my "Boost Buddy" . .

Did you add APN's manually, or did you update your PRL & profile to get data working? Because I can't seem to find any way to update PRL & profile. System updates doesn't have the option, nor is there any option in mobile settings.
[Sprint LG G2] qhemani11:
I did the APN manually.. Just go into setting in chance the view to see System update..
[Sprint LG G2] RohanM:
Hi, I am also using LS980 in India.

You can flash any CM based ROM it will not lock the phone. If you flash a stock .tot file then only phone will lock to sprint but again you can unlock it easily. I am using latest Blisspop 6.0 :)
[Sprint LG G2] krunalkamdar:
HI,

could you please guide me on these:

I need to try some other kernel as my sound and signal is not very clear. Are you aware of anylink which i can use for this.

should i try blisspop???

can i just flash it on zvg mod rom???
[Sprint LG G2] RohanM:
Here
[Sprint LG G2] krunalkamdar:
Thanks RohanM

As per your guidance i have installed blissrom6 and the sound is soo much better now.

People can now hear me clearly.

The only two features i miss are Quick remote and Double tap to sleep. Any chance of activating them on custom rom??

Thanks again.
[Sprint LG G2] RohanM:
You can double tap on status bar to sleep the device. Double tap on home screech in lg launcher only feature. Regarding quick remote there a thread for this but it was for lollipop not sure about marshmallows. You are welcome.

Edit - here is the remote flashable but I guess it not yet supported for marshmallows.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=56507185
[Sprint LG G2] krunalkamdar:
Yeah as you said the remote flashable dint work on marshmallow. I need the universal remote functionality and so I am willing to go back to ZVG mod rom(if I can solve the sound quality issue). Can i flash it over bliss 6(marshmallow)?

Also the link send by you for the modems seems to have got corrupted.

Could you please suggest what modem can i try?

Please note: The sound quality during phone calls was very bad in ZVG mod. then on Bliss 6 its totally fine. So can i install zvg mod rom with the modem of bliss 6 or something else??
[Sprint LG G2] RohanM:
You should try Cloudy rom then 3.3 LP or 2.7 KK both are very stable like stock.
[Sprint LG G2] Amir.smart48:

[Sprint LG G2] dev997:
Hi Rohan,

I have the cdroid 6.0 rom (earlier release) on my G2 which had a bug where you can’t change the network settings from global to gsm/wcdma as they will not stick. Can you please confirm that this issue has been resolved and if yes, can you please point to the particular release of Bliss Rom that works best on GSM for you on LS980 in India.

Cheers !
[Sprint LG G2] goast:
Dude this is pretty rude behavior, not good etiquette to bring up other roms in different thread. Also your "issue" has been resolved on several ROMs I won't name. Don't pm me just go look for yourself and you'll see.

dear after installation when i reboot lg logo comes for just a second ane gone then nothing happens please help
[Sprint LG G2] e20140:
Works great. No need to use Twoclick tool and works for both freedompop and other GSM SIM.

Thanks.
[Sprint LG G2] mj56gt:
Nice to see a FreedomPop user here! I just got a new LS980 with ZVG on FreedomPop. Sorry for the newbie questions. What root tool and TWRP version should I use (more preferable for Mac computer)? After flashing this ZVGMOD ROM, how easy is it to toggle between Sprint and GSM? Thanks!
[Sprint LG G2] e20140:
I am new to Freedompop too and still running test but I have 2 D800 and works great using prepaid SIM. This one is for my son and it's only $70.

For root of any LG ROMs, follow this link: http://xdaforums.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772

TWRP: Google Autorec Lollipop for LS980.

For me, you won't see connection to Sprint, it will said LG as the carrier, but everything works. The only downside is that Freedompop signal is so weak unless you pay for premium account. You will see strong signal after you see a message said connecting to premium service or something like that. Well, to answer your question, all you need is pop in your SIM card, boot your phone and select Network mode that you want. I tried Global but that often doesn't switch correctly. In my area, CDMA seems to be more stable. Try it be it CDMA or LTE/CDMA, sometimes it does take a while to connect. GSM works great with other GSM SIM.

If you decide to stay stock, follow this to unlock or re-lock http://xdaforums.com/sprint-g2/development/twoclick-tool-stand-sim-unlock-tool-t3216387
[Sprint LG G2] mj56gt:
Many thanks for sharing the information! I'll try out the methods soon.

The weak signal with FreedomPop has nothing to do with this ZVGROM, right?

One more question: once sim unlocked, can you get LTE or just 2/3G data with a GSM carrier?
[Sprint LG G2] e20140:
Yes, weak signal is only because of FreedomPop. Many people have problem using their free basic plan. You get what you pay for, no free lunch here! They want you to sign up for pay services. For me, I get it only because of the phone knowing their service is completely not reliable.

Most likely get 3G in the US via GSM sim. I get 3G (UMTS) with download speed around 12mbps using Simple Mobile.

One good thing about poping in a GSM sim is that you can freely choose to use Freedompop's CDMA free data (3g only in this case) or your own GSM's data service. Simply change Network Mode accordingly. Not just data, voice too, of course.
[Sprint LG G2] mj56gt:
Thanks a lot for the information!

Just rooted the phone and flashed it with ZVGMOD now. For some reason, I can't make calls with FreedomPop regardless the settings (Global, CDMA, or LTE/CDMA) under Mobile Network (it gives a message "Your account is not authorized to make calls..."). Rebooting the phone didn't help either. There was no problem making calls before rooting/flashing. Not so sure what's going on.
[Sprint LG G2] e20140:
You need to install Freedompop messaging app from the play store (not the call and text app). Open it to setup and wait until you see notification with your phone #. What plan do you have?
[Sprint LG G2] mj56gt:
Yes, that was indeed the problem. I did install those few FreedomPop apps, but I never opened its Messaging app before. Once I did it now, everything works properly. I'm trying out their free plan, and the signal strength seems reasonable here.

It's really nice to have a rooted, sim-unlocked and de-bloated phone. Thank you very much for guiding me through the process!

Also thank [MENTION=3588250]romasik[/MENTION] for the great ROM!
[Sprint LG G2] AlpineMan:
Thank you for this quick guide! I just bought a couple of Freedompop LG G2's for the purposes of using the phone on RingPlus.
[Sprint LG G2] mj56gt:
So are you going to request for release from Freedompop before registering it with RingPlus?

I successfully flashed my LG G2 with ZVGMOD and liked the interface. However, one big trouble for me was that I could not get any data at all from FreedomPop, and I thought that phone was faulty. However, once reverting back to the stock ROM, I have no trouble getting back.

Share your experience about this ROM and RingPlus if you don't mind.
[Sprint LG G2] AlpineMan:
I'm fairly experienced in flashing ROM's. For some reason, after flashing this ROM, it gets stuck on the LG logo after reboot. Been waiting 30 minutes and still on the logo.

Yes...as soon as I get this ROM up and running w/ Ringplus I'll share my experience here.
[Sprint LG G2] mj56gt:
That does sound unusual. It took at most 5 minutes with the LG logo in my case plus 5-10 minutes optimizing those Apps.
[Sprint LG G2] AlpineMan:
Finally got this ROM running on Ringplus. Had to revert to stock and start all over. When I was in stock, I can get LTE. When I switched to this ROM, I can only get 3G...if and only if I switch to CDMA mode. At CDMA/LTE mode, I can't get LTE or 3G. I played around with APN settings, etc, etc, but still couldn't get LTE for some reason. I really like this ROM. Very smooth and fast. Out of curiosity, I will try a different custom ROM to see if I have better luck with LTE. If I have some time, I'll come back to this ROM and troubleshoot later.

As a side note, I put my AT&T (Cricket) SIM in, switched to GSM, and it worked fine. I got voice and HSPA. No LTE...which is fine since this phone doesn't have the LTE bands that AT&T uses.
[Sprint LG G2] mj56gt:
Thanks for sharing the experience, which is pretty much the same as mine except that I didn't try CDMA under ZVGMOD. I had to switch back to stock as well because I couldn't get any data. So you're currently using stock with RingPlus?

It would be wonderful if you could debug the problem with this ROM and get the data part working. One thing I noticed that when performing APN resetting I always got the following error:

Unfortunately, Service Programu has stopped.

which probably has something to do with the package com.lge.SprintHiddenmenu under

/system/app/SprintHiddenMenu
[Sprint LG G2] AlpineMan:
Ok...weird things going on here. I've decided to give this ROM a second chance. I went ahead and did a ZVE tot. Then sideloaded ZVG. Rooted and did AutoRec. I verified to make sure 3G and LTE were working in ZVE and ZVG at home. I backed up the APN settings in ZVG just in case. I then installed this ROM using the "default" (the first ROM in the list) in AROMA. Only thing I did in Aroma was to remove TitaniumBackup, I accepted everything else. The ROM booted up fine. At first, I couldn't get any data at all whatsoever. Switched back and forth on LTE/CDMA and CDMA. Got 3G working on both modes. I left the phone alone for about 30 minutes or so in LTE/CDMA. Finally got LTE without doing anything. I didn't touch the default APN settings on this ROM. LTE is working fine and I'm on Ringplus. I'll be driving around town this afternoon and will observe the connection status.

My phone has PRL version 55051. If this thing goes haywire again, I'll try a different PRL...perhaps the 560xx series. The 560xx series is what I was using when I was still with Sprint a while back.
[Sprint LG G2] mj56gt:
My PRL version is 45051. Each time when I power on the phone, it goes through the Hands Free Activation process, and then it comes up a window with a spinning circle and the following message:

Update PRL

Checking for PRL update...

The problem is that it never finishes the checking process and the window will never go away. More troubling is that I cannot do nothing by touching buttons such as Home or an app. The only workaround solution I've found so far is that I can go to the notification bar and select an item and then go somewhere else.

Now I cannot even get data with the stock ZVG. Do you know how I can manually update PRL?
[Sprint LG G2] AlpineMan:
That PRL you're using is FreedomPop's stock PRL. From stock ROM, connect to WiFi first, then go to Settings, System Update, Update PRL.
[Sprint LG G2] mj56gt:
I did that many times, and it simply says:

Application is not yet initialized. Please try again later.

I can't get any data right now for some reason even though I'm with stock ZVG. No other way to manually update PRL?

I didn't have trouble with data earlier with the stock ZVG, but after a factory reset I cannot get data any more. Any idea how to fix this?
[Sprint LG G2] AlpineMan:
Try to do Update Profile. Same instructions as to doing Update PRL, but you select Update Profile.

[Sprint LG G2] mj56gt:
Same thing:

Application is not yet initialized. Please try again later.

Very frustrating.
[Sprint LG G2] AlpineMan:
When I did the ZVE tot, it went through Hands Free Activation. It activated fine. Perhaps that's what you'll need to do to get your data working. Your Mobile Data setting is turned on, correct?

BTW, attached is my Ringplus LTE speeds while in a busy town. Not bad for free service. [emoji6]

[Sprint LG G2] AlpineMan:
Any luck? Have you tried a ZVE tot? That should get your LTE back atleast after the phone boots and goes through Hands Free Activation.

[Sprint LG G2] theemaster:
Can anyone confirm that you can just switch between Sprint service and gsm service like att/tmobile by just using the software switch of GSM or CDMA/LTE

It seems like to me you can't just use a software switch.. you need a sim for lte on sprint right? and that same sim is replaced with the gsm sim?
[Sprint LG G2] AlpineMan:
You need to have a SIM card for both providers. I also have AT&T(Cricket) as my primary lines of service. To switch between Ring+ and AT&T on this ROM, I simply had to switch SIM cards, then go to Settings, More..., Mobile Networks, then change Network Mode. LTE/CDMA for Ring+ or GSM for AT&T.
[Sprint LG G2] ddyourself:
Just get this rom installed. Where is the update PRL and profile menu? I can't find it in the Setting->system section as they used to be. In fact, I just couldn't find it in the setting section at all.
[Sprint LG G2] AlpineMan:
Update Profile and PRL is not in this ROM. You have to do that before you install this ROM.

Motorola DynaTAC 8000X using Tapatalk
[Sprint LG G2] mj56gt:
Thanks for asking! Finally I managed to fix the APN thing, and now everything seems to work properly.

A couple of issues:

1) Each time when booting up, I still have the HandsFree Activation thing even though this ZVGMOD ROM is supposed to suppress that.

2) How to get rid of the LG legal documentation when booting up the phone?

3) Is there a way to turn off the SuperSU complaining for update?
[Sprint LG G2] AlpineMan:
Are you using it on freedompop or ring+? I'm on Ringplus and I don't see the HFA nag or the LG legal stuff you mentioned.

As for SuperSU, are you talking about Play Store update or the SuperSU binary is outdated message? Either one, I just let it update. You will only have issues on the new SuperSU if you're trying to redo AutoRec. But since you're already on this rom, you would have already done AutoRec and you wouldn't need it anymore.

[Sprint LG G2] mj56gt:
I'm on FreedomPop. I didn't have the HFA nag right after flashing ZVGMOD. However, I went back and forth a few times with the stock ZVG ROM. Now the reason I have the HFA or the LG legal stuff under ZVGMOD might have something to do with the fact I performed updating PRL and other steps once when under the stock ZVG ROM?

Play Store shows that my SuperSU is already up to date. However, each time the phone boots up, it says something like SuperSU binary needs to be updated.

All the three things are just annoying, but they don't seem to cause any side effects so far.

When using the phone with GSM, do you get 4G/LTE or just 3G?
[Sprint LG G2] AlpineMan:
Not sure what's causing that HFA nag on your phone. As far as the LG legal stuff is concerned, I think you just need to accept their terms and conditions if I remember correctly. That should remove that message.

Although your SuperSU app is uptodate, the binary isn't. You have to click on the notification or the app itself. Then just follow the prompts to update the binary.

When using GSM, you will only get HSPA and/or HSPA+. By default, this phone only has Sprint's LTE bands 25, 26, and 41 enabled. There are numerous xda threads that discuss how to enable additional LTE bands on certain phones. However, in order for this to work, the phone itself must have the hardware to support these LTE bands. I have not looked into it for this particular phone. I did experiment with a few Samsung phones, but that is still a work in progress. See my signature for its current status if you're interested.

BTW, I will be selling my recently acquired FreedomPop LG G2's that I activated with RingPlus. Found a great deal on a few G3's that I will replace them with. So I may not be hanging around these G2 threads any longer .

[UPDATE] - On the HFA nag...when I was with Sprint, this nag would come on when you do a ##72786# or ##786# reset. After doing so, I would just let the phone go through HFA via WiFi. If HFA fails, I do it manually by doing Update Profile. This custom ROM doesn't have Update Profile, you may be able to edit build.prop to re-enable it. Otherwise, you will need to go back to ZVG stock to do it.
[Sprint LG G2] mj56gt:
I've managed to disable it through renaming a file under /system.

Yes that worked!

I went ahead and let TWRP go through the updating, but the same complaint comes back right after the reboot.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing the information.

Is G3 really better?

Two more nagging issues. After the APN fix. It's empty under "Access point names". In addition, right after each bootup I continue to get the error:

Unfortunately, Update Device has stopped.

This thread (http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/fix-unfortunately-update-device-stopped-t2955497) seems to offer a fix for Update Device, but it also changes the APN setting, which is why I have not tried it out yet since I don't want to mess up my current APN again. Any way to modify that fix so it would only fix the update device part but won't mess up the APN setting?
