I have screwed with my G2 a bit too much...
I bought it 2nd hand with CM7, then I screwed with it a bit, loading different ROMs, trying (and failing) to put the DZ Hboot on it, and other things.
Now, I have CM7 back on it but with the wallpaper that has carried over from BlissSense and the USB connectivity that wont work, nor will Settings open.
Could anyone tell me how to COMPLETELY wipe my phone and start again?
ROM manager isn't working well either, when I try to install a new ROM it reboots but just freezes on the HTC splash screen and doesnt make it into recovery.
Well 2 options:
1) COMPLETELY unroot and start over with the wiki/gfree method to get a good root etc.
2) Simply run ROM manager, flash an older recovery (I'm assuming it wont boot into recovery because its on a 5.x.x.x bad flash). I recommend just flashing the 3.0.2.4 version. After that, download a new ROM .zip (CM7 or whatever you want), put it on your SDcard. Enter recovery, do a COMPLETE wipe, clear everything, and flash the new ROM.
Don't backup any apps or anything. Just start over from scratch with this new ROM flash.
are you able to get into recovery at all though? if you can, search up SuperwipeG2+ in the dev forum and run that. that should wipe your phone 110% so you can install CM7 again.

Thanks,
1) - I will try that after I try 2, but I will have to look it up cause I have no idea how to unroot.
2) Ok, I went into ROM manager and flashed 3.0.2.4, then i entered recovery, these are my options:
-reboot system now
-apply update from sdcard
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-install zip from sdcard
-backup and restore
-mounts and storage
-advanced
-power off
What do I do now?
1. wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache partition
3. install zip from sdcard > seect ROM that I want
Ok, well I did this:
-Downloaded and put SuperwipeG2 on my sdcard (not SuperwipeG2+ cause I dont have GPS issues)
-Flashed Recovery 3.0.2.4 (Which was a downgrade)
-Rebooted to recovery
-installed from zip > superwipeG2
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-install zip from sdcard > CM7.0.3.zip
Now it is a real nice fresh CM7!
Thanks GUYS!
Can I ask one more question?
I ran the PC10IMG.zip update to give my G2 a Desire Z HBoot (which was sucessful, vr no. is now .84 where as the old G2 was .76).
But when I go to System > about phone > system memory = 370MB
And data mem = 1.05GB
So I lost the usual 300MB from data mem but didnt make the 200MB gain in system mem!!! what happened?

it just reports it improperly because some RAM is reserved. dont worry about it.
I was on with Kingdroid V2.0 with S3 addon. Kernel Speedmod#3.3.
I flashed Criskelo V7 as follows- None of the steps belongs to me-All gathered from this forum, thanks to concerned member/s.
1- download AbyssNote kernel 4.2 (for CWM), Criskelo V7.ROM in SdCard
2- reboot to recovery mode and install AbyssNote V4.2 original touch
3- don't leave recovery , Go back to advanced then reboot recovery
NOW THIS IS TOUCH SCREEN ONLY (buttons will not work)
4- wipe data/factory reset…yes--delete all user data
5- wipe cache partition…yes--wipe cache
6- go to advanced and wipe dalvik Cache…yes--wipe dalvik cache
7- Go back
8- go mount and storage
9- format /cache…yes--format
10- format /system…yes--format
11- format /data…yes--format
12- Go back
Now Flash Criskelo V7 Rom
After installation completed, the phone automatically rebooted into CriskeloRom. Working Nice. About the Phone-Build Number IML74K.XXLQ3 Kernel [email protected]#3.Rom Version CriskeloRom Note ICSv07.
Now I would like to know whether shall I keep this kernel or flash kernel speedmod #3.3 over this kenel. suggestions are appriciated.
Ask the dev which kernel it is.
I think it probably is CF Root kernel.
Hi, my Defy (Green Camera) is stuck on JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf - strange chineese Eclair ROM - screenshot here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27590063&postcount=4.
I installed it after my battery died during updating Cyanogen to newer version - I panicked a bit and needed working phone asap, so I used mcGyver hack and flashed it with RSD Lite as I found in some guide.
Now I want to install any better system on top of it (it's real crap - all google apps crashes immediately for example) Cyanogen 10+ would be best.
There are some similar threads, but they wanted to downgrade system, not upgrade.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14762402&postcount=143 - I didn't tried it yet as download pages
looks suspicious. //edit: downloading it, but it's really slow.

What I tried to do so far is:
I. Rooting phone with SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse
II. Installing SndInitDefy_1.4_2.apk
III. One of following:
a)
1) Go to Custom Recovery.
2) Wipe data/factory reset, wipe Cache and go to Advanced ► Wipe dalvik.
3) Go to install zip from sdcard ► Choose zip from sd card.
4) Flash cm-10-20131030-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip
6) Wipe Cache and Dalvik again
7) Restart.
It didn't boot in 10 minutes (Motorola logo) so I flashed sbf again and returned to I.
b)
1) Go to Custom Recovery.
2) Wipe data/factory reset, wipe Cache and go to Advanced ► Wipe dalvik.
3) Go to install zip from sdcard ► Choose zip from sd card.
4) Flash froyo kernel
5) Flash CM10-20120924-NIGHTLY-mb525.zip.
7) Wipe Cache and Dalvik again
8) Restart.

7) Wipe Cache and Dalvik again (recommended).
8) Restart

I also tried some other Quarx builds, some times with gapps and RLRv2.16_base.zip but I don't remember details.
Any ideas what can I do? Now i'm trying downloading various roms and trying to install them with recovery.
EDIT:
Now I have DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_GR_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTCEE_P022_A022_Service1FF.sbf which works, but I cant root it - zerg rush fails
Well.. After I flash something I don't wipe cache and dalvik , this maybe should be the problem..Before I install something I do a data/factory reset , wipe cache , and then wipe dalvik. You should try after you install something don't wipe cache and dalvik..
OK, i fixed it.
With DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed.sbf from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542956 i got root, after that i installed SndInitDefy_2.3.apk and was able to flash CM10.
I am a noob and just an android enthusiast. All the Galaxy Y roms I had used earlier were stock based. I decided to give Hyperion X a try and I followed the following steps for flashing-
1) Flashed stock ROM
2) Rooted the phone
3) Went into Samsung recovery. Flashed CWM 5.0.2.8
4) Mounted data sytem cache
5) Flashed ext4formatter
6) Without going back to cwm again directly flashed sir nvsetup's kernel
7)Then went back to cwm>advanced>reboot recovery
8) Then formatted data system cache
9) Wiped battery stats and dalvik cache
10) Mounted system data cache sdcard
11) Flashed Hyperion X
12) Flashed gapps
Every time I ended up on a bootloop ( I have tried flashing 4 times :crying: ) Please tell me where I went wrong.
For those who can't install the rom properly you can follow this guide:
-Flash Stock Rom via odin (If you're on stockrom skip this step)
-Flash CWM recovery using stock recovery (v.6.0.1.2 or 5.0.2.8)
-After flashing cwm recovery mount System,Data,Cache
-Flash Cm Specific Kernel
-After flashing cm kernel go back and mount System,Data,Cache
-Flash EXT4 formatter
-After flashing go to advance and recovery and REBOOT RECOVERY
-Now you're on the recovery again now mount System, Data,Cache
-Wipe S,D,C
-Mount S,D,C
-Flash the rom file or zip
-Go back Mount S,D,C
-Flash G-apps
-Reboot Now (Wait for it it takes time to boot the rom )
-Sorry for a long guide it's only for those who cannot understand the instructions given to flash the rom

Just before harming my phone because of any potential ignorance, I wanna ask: If I'm on LG G2 (D802) with a rooted stock LP + TWRP v2.6.8.1 which I've installed via an app called "AutoRec". Does that imply I've KK bootloader and ready to flash the zip file of Cloudy? Also will I get app notification badges with this ROM right out of the box?
Thank you in advance!
You are safe to flash, go ahead.
Not sure about your 2nd question, sorry.
i'd suggest to update your twrp to at least 2.8.7.3 just to be on the safe side...
autorec installs an older twrp version by default
you can update twrp just by simple flashing the newer version
1. download the newer twrp for your device variant
2. enter twrp
3. flash newer twrp
4. reboot to recovery
if everything went ok, twrp will show you the newer twrp version in the top left corner
now you can flash the rom
btw app notification badges are not present in any stock based rom such as cloudy...
you can have that option by using an app like Tesla unread in combination with Nova launcher
Thanks for your inputs Andeby & 60nine!
@60nine
In fact, I flashed before I've seen your post but it's good to update the TWRP anyways. I think I've seen v3.0.0 somewhere but I'm not sure...
I've seen badges for FB so I think badges are working OK with this ROM out of the box.
I'm still teased about the "Accounts & Sync" page since it doesn't allow me to selectively choose which accounts to sync or not sync as I've seen in different screenshots that came from different skins. In LG's skin, It's either sync all or sync none which is a bad implementation in my opinion and I really wished they've addressed this in the 2 official updates they pushed to me (KK & LP) but now I don't have any faith that they 'll push any "M" update, not to mention that sync setting I'm annoyed about so I'll have to live with what I've until I get a new phone (hopefully it'll be the 5.5 inch version of the coming Nexus, if it'll have that e-sim technology :fingers-crossed
P.S. I'm not sure why LG implemented the selective sync feature in some of their older mobiles but not the recent ones!!! (as I've seen in the screenshot in this thread http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/55728/how-can-i-select-the-apps-to-sync-when-auto-sync-is-turned-on)
about selective sync
some apps allow you to turn the sync off (i.e. soundcloud that i use)
google on the other hand has the selective sync that you can turn on/off for each google feature (calendar, gmail, fitness, contacts...)
it's accesible when you enter "accounts & sync" in settings, then choose "google" and click on your google account email address...
i think that's the lollipop and per app thing, not LG specific...
about twrp version
2.8.7.3 is confirmed almost 100% stable and working with all latest roms...
latest version is 3.0.0.-4, but it's still in development (although it works just fine for me since i flashed it)
also - make sure you're using blastsgator's twrp

Thanks for all the info. I'm just not sure about the last line you said about using Blastsgator's twrp. Is this some person's name who modified twrp? I installed my twrp via autorec because the twrp manager app didn't work for me for some reason so I'm not sure how to update twrp other than installing a newer version of autorec (if there's such one) that will update the twrp for me i guess

blastagator is the developer - autorec uses his twrp (although the older version)
twrp download page - http://www.gregtwallace.com/lgg2-projects/twrp/
xda thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705
to update twrp
- simply flash newer version via twrp itself
- reboot to recovery (not to system)
- check if the newer version is displayed in the top left corner
- continue with your flashing or whatever you want
also, make sure you download the proper variant of twrp which suits your model (i.e. d802)

this one has themal feature it controls the cores so device dont get hot ans it has been updated it.
Thanks for the great information!
Just one more question: In the TWRP manager, Install, I have options to select these:
Backup: No
Wipe Data
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik
For the last 3 wipes, are they talking about wiping the old recovery itself if I wanna wipe it before installing a newer TWRP version? Is it the same for backup (i.e. if I wanna backup the older TWRP version)? I"m a little worried that these options have something to do with the ROM itself (system) I'm currently on!
What I'm planning to do is to leave these options unchecked & add the zip file I downloaded from the internet, then hit "Flash Now" OR it's best to wipe the old recovery first before installing the newer one? (similar to clean flashing a newer ROM).

i'd stongly advise you to use flashing directly from the recovery itself - not from twrp manager...
to do that:
1. copy your rom zip to the sd card (internal memory) somewhere - i.e. in the root of it
2. reboot to recovery (twrp)
3. choose wipe > advanced wipe
4. select wipe for system, cache & dalvik (DO NOT select internal memory because it will wipe your internal SD card where you've put the new rom zip)
- you can also choose "data" if you want a full clean install (just make a backup of your data - to your PC or something)
5. go to recovery homepage and select "install"
6. choose the rom zip from your internal memory
7. press install/flash
8. aroma installer of the Cloudy3.3 rom should pop up - follow the instructions
9. choose your device variant (in your case it's d802 if i remember well)
10. choose those additional options to your liking (no need for removing LG cover app for xposed to work properly - it's been fixed in xposed itself since then)
11. when the rom installs - you can reboot your device
first boot will take some time - sometimes you'll see just a LG logo and flashing leds for as long as 5 minutes until the "android is upgrading" screen popup appears...
good luck...

wipes explanation
- wipe system - wipes the old system partition (i.e. old rom files you had)
- wipe dalvik - wipes the dalvik cache for apps
- wipe cache - wipes the system cache
- wipe internal memory - wipes the devices sd card where all your private files are (if you wipe that one - you will lose your images, music, etc. - and there is no way to get them back after you do this)
- wipe data - wipes the personal data (contacts, phone log, messages,...)
most common wipes are
- system, dalvik & cache (when you want to keep your personal data & files)
- system, dalvik, cache, data (when you want a completely clean install)
- system, dalvik, cache, data, internal memory (same as above, but do that ONLY if you're installing your new rom from usb/otg stick, not from internal memory)

but I've cloudy3.3 already installed and everything in it have been set up (settings, software...et) and I'm pretty satisfied with it as it is much more useful than original stock ROM. What I'm talking about is updating the recovery manager itself (TWRP) from the older version I have (2.8.6.1) to the newer version (2.8.7.3). I assume that it's possible to update to the newer one without any harm to the system currently installed. Right?

oh, sorry then...
then just do this
1. put new 2.8.7.3. twrp file somewhere on internal memory
2. reboot to recovery
3. press install
4. choose the new 2.8.7.3. zip
5. press install/flash
6. after the flash is over - choose "reboot to recovery/twrp" to see if everything went ok
7. if everything went ok - reboot to rom
no need for any wipes
Never mind! Thanks for all the valuable info
