[Q] I just got a D802 : what should I do ? (root, recovery...) - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello !
I had a Nexus 4 and I just bought a 32gb LG G2 D802.
However, it seems those two devices don't exactly work the same in terms of root, recovery and rom, and I cannot find a general tutorial.
Could somebody tell me which steps I should follow to get :
- the most stable recovery for the LG G2 D802
- the most recent stock rom (4.4 ?) with root enabled
Thank you by advance

1.use IROOT to root device : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45692679#post45692679
2. then use 'All in one recovery flasher' http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2633941
3. d802 has not received stock 4.4.2 yet (will in a month time)

Thank you ! that seems clear enough for me !

Also, it seems there are issues with the EFS partition, do you have any advice for me ?
What behaviour can be considered dangerous for this partition ?

Take a backup of EFS partition and save it on your PC.
My advice is, don't touch it. You dont need to anyway for rooting/flashing ROMs anyway.

[q] what version my g2 is?

Hi. I am new user of LG. I bought a Korean version of LG G2. Friend of mine flashed international version (as per his saying) of KK. Phone is rooted as well. Now phone's software/hardware specs are as follows: Android ver 4.4.2, Kernel 3.4.0 Build No. KOT40I.D80220b, software vers. Lightning v2.0. In hardware info section it is Model No. LG-F320L. It is now confusing for me either my phone is D802 or F320L.
I want to flash recovery in order to flash custom rom. Please guide me what my phone is now, D802 or F320L? Which phone version recovery is safe I should flash? Thanks for any help.

It's definitely a F320L then You can take back cover off, right? And there's place for a MicroSD? If yes, then it's a F320L

My friend, I know it is originally Korean Version (F320L) and I am using MicroSD as well but firmware flashed on this is not the original one. The software version is Lightning v2.0. Before this on original software(firmware) there were many Korean softwares and after flashing current firmware (which someone else flashed for me) there is no Korean thingy on phone and it is all English and rooted as well.The build no is also changed. My question is I still need recoveries prepared for F320L or recovery matching to build no. KOT49L.D80220b? Because all recoveries are for different variants and I don't know which is for my phone. Bottom line is I need a working recovery on my phone so I can try different custom roms.

You should most definitely flash a custom recovery for F320L then
There are many D802 Roms built on Korean firmwares but that doesn't make the core things of the phone Korean, and that's what you should look for when flashing.
Your ROM is just built around a D802 Firmware but everything is modified so it matches your F320L. I hope this helps!

Honestly, since you're running a custom ROM already, I think you have a custom recovery installed for how would you otherwise have a custom rom :laugh:?
Please try turning your phone off, and try factory resetting your phone using the button combination - that should take you to the custom recovery
Be careful about the build.prop entries.
If there is wrong build info (d802 instead of some other let's say..) and you unroot, and you have no recovery and want to use download mode, the lg tool detects it's d802 and you can't flash your proper kdz..
It's most likely because of your current rom. If the rom cook provided variants in aroma then he didn't provide seperate build.prop's (or entries)..

Exactly same thought come to my mind and I tried to enter in recovery mode and found a full page in Korean language which is for sure is not recovery I used always.

[Q] All these roms compatible with the 16gb G2?

Can you enter download mode? Try to find how to do it for your model... This forum section is for the G2 (not lite)... You need to find out how to enter download mode in your device and, if you could, find the official ROM for you device and find out how to flash it there. But not with the tools for the G2 found in this section as they are different devices.
Maby this thred can help u

Well, there's no way to link it in download mode, for he died even (not lit the way of any screen, even when cocoloco to load ..), the only way to fix this would be restoring the qhsusb_bulk, as shown in this video : rolleyes: https://www.google.com.br/url?sa=t&...l1QLEiLl9bc6BBSPOdE0jAg&bvm=bv.86956481,d.cWc ... But this process is done with the LG G2 and G2 Lite not, so I need help, the executables do not recognize the D295, only d8xx models ... If anyone can help I thank you very much!

[BRICK] Lost and Unable to Restore IMEI/BASEBAND LG G2 D805. (EDITED: D802)

I'm really going to die soon. I spent the whole day trying to restore my IMEI as I don't have the original box (bought it second hand just the phone alone) and did not have EFS back up prior to flashing.
So, the whole mess was when I flashed Dorimanx for D800 instead of my variant which is D805 (my careless mistake, the title of the page was really confusing). Ever since, I lost my IMEI is shown as 0 or null so does my baseband. I then flashed ResurrectionRemix, PowerG2, etc. but still unable to get any mobile network connection.
I've tried reverting to stock KitKat firmware but to no avail. I've flash other modems as well with no success. I've even tried the QST NvManager switching from Windows 10 to 7 and re-installing the USB drivers numerous times still no luck. I followed so many forums and watched endless youtube tutorials none of them can fix my problem.
I'm really desprate, please help me.
how can the tile be confusing.? even qhen you go to download page theres all the variants. was kernel really the culprit of this.? am not really sure that kernel would damage imei and baseband i think flashing bootloaders do. twrp wrong rom. ect. you should post this in the q&a thread. i know some have restored imei.

Dear @raptorddd
Thank you for your feedback and I'm sorry. I did not blame the kernel as in whole context but rather my careless mistake and take note I suspected my problem was flashing the kernel for the wrong model variant so it was not actually Dorimanx's issue, no offense I even admitted my wrong-doing.
Anyway, after reading your reply at least there is a light to my answer. I will do some more research on bootloaders for my exact variant because most of the threads found here are for D802 International while mine is Brazil (Latin America) although I'm from SEA.
I was very happy when I see 6.0 MM on this frakenstein device but now I have this network problem making me sad. It's like having an old car with a new engine but no wheels. Please help.

I don't know how a kernel can wipe your imei. Have you changed roms succesfully before? Have you used ioroot on it? Ioroot makes efs backups automatically. That would help.

@raptorddd @Art Vanderay
I figured out. My phone is actually the D802 variant. It is obviously shown at the back of the case and when I open the back case, the model number is also printed just underneath the battery D802. I thought it was D805 because when I bought this phone it was already rooted and running PowerG2 and the model shown at the About page was D805. This is why I started looking for stock firmware for D805, TWRP D805, Dorimanx D805, and everything D805. So, when I downloaded ResurrectionRemix 6.0 MM, that was when my phone started to act weird but I'm very sure it was not RR issue as well. I wipe all my partitions without making any backup just before I started flashing things. I've done this 1000 times with no problem and this is the only time I got it wrong. I've tried flashing the bootlader changer aroma, then KitKat bootloader stock and still no IMEI, the phone number shown as unkown. I now got back my baseband because I flashed the KitKat baseband.
I'm going to start all over again today, and I'm getting all the files for D802 instead and will let you guys know if I can restore my IMEI back. Thank you for your participation on my thread, very much appreciated.

I'm sorry, I have a soft-bricked phone right now with no spare phones, so I don't have WhatsApp at the moment but thank you really for your effort and offer. Can you explain on the forum instead of TeamViewing so others that have this problem and reading this thread can solve theirs? +1 for you.
YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I FOUND THE ANSWER ALREADY. Please ignore the caps, this is just to show you how happy I am.
I've spent approximately 48 hours to figure what the heck is going on.
What I did was:
1. Flash stock firmware Brazil KitKat D805 .kdz through LG FlashTool 2014.
2. Use ioroot25 to root it via adb.
3. After rooting, download AutoRec.apk for KitKat and install that.
4. Download TWRP bumped latest and flash it to replace AutoRec's old version of TWRP.
5. Flash Dorimanx KitKat 10.9 (at the time of this post) or latest.
6. Flash KitKat stock baseband and modem for 20d.
After rebooting system, everything is ok. I got back my mobile network now. So happy!!! I'm requesting the moderator to close this thread as my question as been solved.

I'm not sure also. The back case written as D802 and just below the battery also written as D802. But when I tried to go back to stock I was unable to use D802 firmware but only can use D805 stock firmware. I'm now on Google Edition 1.3 the model is written as D802. When I try to flash stock D805 firmware I can't get through already. Im not sure why but as long as I can use the phone right now, I don't want to bother so much about that.

So far, Google Edition 1.3 is the best/stable among all other ROMS that I've tried like Power G2, RR, etc. Nice battery life, 100% in the morning and came back from work still have another 30%-40% (usage mainly for WhatsApp, Facebook, internet browsing occasionally, no movie/music/games-just COC once or twice). This is the most straight-forward ROM and the closest to Stock Lollipop from Google without any other 3rd party apps and bloatwares. Very stable, no FC, great camera, and knock code gestures (flashed additional QuickMemo+ which isn't included by default). Awesome!

Hi, really thanks for the support. Now I have LP F320L30D, i flashed it with KDZ guide. If i would go back to Kitkat (when it was when i bought it) what should i do? A simply flash with KDZ file like i did for LP? If so do i need to root + twrp before the kitkat installation for a fresh install rom by cleaning cache,dalvik etc or is enough to click CSE install by KDZ program?

If you want to go back to kitkat stock, just kdz back to it. No need to root or clean any cache. Just use the tool , download the kdz file and flash it via tool.

I asked that, because i have a problem about the mic during calls. I mean if i call or someone call me, the person does not hear me or hear my voce really really really low. Should be a software issues. I disabled "ok google" but nothing.

Are you having this particular issue on lollipop stock or all the rom your tried?
If its software issue, you can switch a rom and see if it gets resolved.

I had this issues like 4 days after i updated via OTA the Kitkat version that was stock (21Y) for another Kitkat version (22k) if i remember well. To be honest, dunno if this could be the problem. I though (hey, maybe this OTA ****ed me) so i changed the rom into 30D stock with KDZ method so i installed Lollipop. Now i choose to come back to Kitkat Stock maybe i can fix this. By the way in the xda server there are located 3x firmware for my model (F320L) so korean model
F320L21V_00
Korea LG U+ Kitkat F320L21P
LG u+ F320L11G
Which one should i take? In the original was called U+ 100% LTE.
If so then take the second one that says U+ and its a korean variant.
Honestly i dont own this variant so i know little much about these since i haven't performed any flash. I only own verizon hence i mostly help people based on successfully performing those actions by myself. I don't like to give you any directions without actually performing it irl so you choose which one is for your variant.
And if you ever want to go back to stock , just flash kdz. That would be all.
Good luck!
