I've tried this two times and both I had the same result. I downgraded back to 4.2.2 with the D80110g_00.kdz for the tmobile g2. Then I rerooted it and added philz touch recovery. I flashed with the kitkat baseband in the cloudystock 1.1 fourm, then the rom with the patched 801 kernel after. Everything boot's up ok, and the phone works. But when I turn off the screen and back on its all grayed out with yellow lines. I have the reboot the phone for the screen to show up again. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Do the same process except do not use 80110g. Find the 80110c kdz.

Thank you, that fixed the problem. Another question I have is that when I flash the baseband, do I have to keep reflashing it when I move to another kitkat rom?

baseband stays the same when flashing other roms. Pretty sure the rom zips don't touch baseband unless specified otherwise. Glad it worked for ya btw

Problem came back, turn off screen and its grayed out when back on unless reboot. I dont have this problem when I root 4.2.2. Am I flashing the files in the wrong order, or am I missing something.

Doesn't seem like you are flashing in wrong order. If you boot up and everything runs...it's probably just due to the fact this isn't an official release and there may be bugs

same issue here. Cannot run any stock KK roms at all. I've flashed so many times and have had to return to stock. I wish this problem could be identified.
Did anyone out there figure this out?
I'm having the same problem on my device, tried several stock ROMs but nothing works even when using different basebands.
I have this problem as well and no, you're not doing anything wrong. Devs have absolutely no idea why this is happening. It seems that this is only happening with users that bought the phone and have the G build pre-installed. People that bought the phone earlier with the C build don't have this problem.
I gave up and just flashed the official KK TMO ROM with root installed. I lost my recovery but hopefully devs can get recovery on stock KK. If anything, I can always KDZ back to 4.2.2 and re-install the recovery if I want to go back to AOSP ROM's.
FWIW, I bought the G2 a week ago. When did you get yours?
I think you hit the nail on the head with G build comment. I got my phone about a month ago from TMO and it came pre-installed. I wonder if something in the actual hardware is ever so slightly different with the latest G2s...
I flashed with the C build and it didn't fix it also, guess I'll stay on 4.2.2 till there is a official kitkat root.
Anyone around in this thread with the line problem willing to test a kernel?

How do you find if you have G or C build? I thought all tmobile g2's are c build. I am getting mine tomorrow, hope it is shipped with JB rom - if so, i think it will be better to stay. After reading a bit, i heard many say tot method is working fine as explained here.
Which rom (xd thread?) are you using? Does wifi calling work?

If you go to software you can see the build, it either ends with C or D. Most likely D since you'll just be getting it. And it will be JB not KK. There's a new AutoRec file that gives KK users recovery, but since you'll be getting the D version, you'll most likely have the white line glitch issue. There's a way around it, just PM me for further questions and I'll help ya out.

Hmmm.. so i have a completely stock g2 non rooted (working on rooting right now actually) but when i go into settings, my build number ends with an 'A' ?? not c, d or g.... what does this mean? Man, rooting seemed so much easier on my HTC or samsung phones! No complaints though, i love this phone

It does seem confusing, but I promise you that it's a bit more painless than you think. I'm assuming your phone did indeed ship with TMO KitKat? Then in that case, once you're done rooting, all you have to do is install the AutoRec apk and that's it! Let me know if you need a link for AutoRec.

Mackster I'm on 4.2.2 which is rooted, is there anyway I could use a custom kitkat rom without getting the white lines? I dont want to keep downgrading everytime it happens.
Hello,
Yesterday an update came up on my screen, I clicked "Install Now"
The phone restarted into CWM.
I am rooted ofcourse, and I'm really scared for my phone,
Is there anything to be done?
Which phone do you have?
Your phone is rooted, do you have a stock or custom ROM?
You should provide a little more information so people can help you.

The only thing you probably have to worry about is the data on your device since it is possible you have to wipe it. No worries on bricked device.

No. But it looks like you flashed a borked file. Maybe the CM you installed has a wrong MD5, or you might have flashed a CM that's for a different G2. Either way, you can either push a new ROM zip into your phone to flash, or KDZ back to stock like the guy above me said. Good luck!
And don't worry, your phone is completely fine. But this should be a lesson to always perform a backup before ANY ROM flashing.

What I'd like to know is how did you get CWM in the first place? I've tried for a couple of hours with ROM Manager and the D802 is not supported even though it claims it is. All I get is the red triangle on top of the green android bot and what looks like 2.x CWM. Not sure since I'm new. But it only has about 5 options. No MOUNT, NO ADVANCED, Looks unsuitable for flashing a ROM. I saw this version the very first time I flashed a phone and I soft bricked the phone. It was a Nexus 4. I recovered but I'm not taking any chances and messing with that again. The only way I recovered was using Wugfresh. I need something like Wugfresh for my D802 where I can take those risk. I'm angry because I can't flash anything now. I've got 327 apps to get installed. No one wants to do that manually. It is really inconceivable that this phone which is still arguably the best in the world after 6 months is not supported the way it should be with recovery. Any help in getting CWM working would be greatly appreciated.

That won't work because you can't even get to the menus to install the zip. That the whole problem. You can't really do anything because it basically hangs up with the red triangle. With the number of people having this problem and how great a phone this is you'd figure this problem would not even exist. Here's a screen shot of the problem everybody is having.

I'm new so don't know much. My understanding is you can't flash anything without being in recovery, right? Look at busted25's post. I'm not risking anything that is not concrete. Much as I like to tinker around I accomplish nothing if I end up with a brick. On my Nexus I could risk everything and because I had Wugfresh. No such thing. I'm going to look at he LG software suite and see if can backup the phone enough to restore it should i soft brick or something

What?! Are you sure about that? If true that is really foul. What, do they think we are Apple fans or something? If we didn't want recovery we would have bought Apple. I hope that is not true.

Well the exploit we were using to install recovery/Loki was patched in kk so currently if you want recovery it's the same procedure for all devices downgrade to 4.2(first firmware available) root install recovery and depending on your device I can link you a modified kk that uses the aboot from 4.2 plus modified kk kernel to boot to kk while retaining root/recovery

I don't know if I have the skills to pull that off. I could wind up like busted25 and all the others who bricked. I think my best option might be to sell it very cheap quickly and order a new one and never upgrade. I'll take the hit. Phone is less than a week old. One thing I'm not understanding though is I'm seeing only kitkat custom roms for this phone out there. That's why I thought it was ok to upgrade. I didn't see any 4.2.2. Everybody who flashed the custom roms must have been fairly or very skilled.One thing that made me upset is ROM Manager advertised recovery for this phone that was bogus. I even paid for the touch version and got nothing and no email reply
Hey guys I just got this G2 today for 240 off craigslist. I currently have a note 3 as a daily driver and wanted to experiment with this thing. I'm really into rooting and the note 3 development is slow at best. So i have the phone and i started poking around and learn that i'm already rooted .. There is a custom recovery installed i think it said phils somethign recovery.... it's rooted and all that.. i dont know what to do. .I made a back up... do I need to do anything else? Is the bootloader installed? I'm lost. But i'm really excited to get an AOKP rom or something .. Where do I go from here?

Probably Philz Touch 6? What is it running stock? Kitkat or JellyBean?
I had the exact same thing as you (bought it off a similar website) and mine had JellyBean,
so I flashed a stock Kitkat Rom onto it but kept the root. Loving it so far
Well Well have Pacman installed. Have been having issues. Not Not sure why. Is there anything more stable.

It's gonna take me to D803B20G. Not sure if the current rooting and autorec recovery method will work on this new firmware, sceptical about installing it......

1. wrong place to post this.
2. general rule of thumb - if you like having root and recovery, NEVER take an OTA from the manufacturer EVER, until it's confirmed that it doens't block root / recovery /bootloader exploits (like the 4.4 ot'as blocked loki)

Q&A if you're asking a question about it, General if you wanted to let people know about it..
yes probably in q&a or general maybe, like stated above please dont install on your phone if youre rooted with a non stock recovery otherwise you will mess up your phone big time! really not sure if its possible but if you can, switch off firmware updates as they are not compatible with the custom recoveries and whichever rom you are using will update soon enough anyway if your on stock rom the same applies if you have a custom recovery

I have stock Rom rooted and twrp recovery that's all.
Avoid the update.
However it has the knock knock code addon. Or, as far as I've heard, that's the only new update LG had planned for the LG G2.
Do not install it. If you REALLY want to try it, make a backup, store it on your PC, OTA. If you lose root, you can revert to stock, get a recovery, put your backup back on your phone and restore.....but that's honestly a lot of work just to possibly get the knock knock code. (I know turning on is knock on, but for the "code" you knock more than once minimum, so I call it knock knock).
You can also force supersu to keep root, but last time I tried that for an OTA I got stuck in a bootloop.
TL;DR: Might be knock on/knock knock code. Not sure what else. You can backup and try to OTA, but no one can be certain what will happen. Expect to lose root. You can force SuperSu to keep root, but you may bootloop.
I'd just wait for more info.

twrp recovery is a custom recovery, so never update.
I'm pretty sure there is an app in /system that you can freeze to stop push updates. Sadly, that is the only info I have. It may have been carrier specific and I haven't been on stock since the first week I had the phone. Haha.
Guys I already know all what you just said......I've done this loads of times. Just wondering if I can uninstall custom recovery without re-installing stock firmware?
I know I can take my chance and try the OTA but not without recovery gone first.
It's a lot of work to just flash stock firmware, install update and if there's no big change, flash stock again.....
Thats why i was wondering if the only option is flash stock to get rid of recovery

I think its possible, (but it should be really hard to do so) but the easiest way is to flash a .kdz file And you should not take the chance to update when you have recovery, it just isn't worth it. Anyways I would just have sticked with a custom rom which gets updated regulary..or flashed a kdz and get back to stock.
Btw can the good judger @Judge Joseph Dredd move the thread to q and a section? I think that it is even more help to get there
OP Moved out of the Development Threads, since this does not belong there....Please read the Forum Rules on posting.
Need a little assistance. I have been searching everywhear for a month to find a recovery for my device. Its the LG Optimus Zone 2 (VS415PP) and thought i found it, it was labled LGOZ2 in the main heading and .zip title so i thought i had it, i flashed it. However it was for the LG Optimus Zone (VS410) and now i dont have a recovery. YAY!!! So I am hoping that someone here on XDA is willing to point me in the right direction to either a CWM, TWRP, Stock or some custom recovery for my device. I know quite a bit about flashing and other things but i dont know how to mod and compile my own recover or any other for my device.lol. Can XDA save me? ^.^
I actually have a copy of this recovery. (I have the same phone, so I know your pain.)

Try both CWM images. I used one of the two and it works for VS145PP1.

This is the recovery you need.
Extract the file to your download folder.
Command to flash:
su -c dd if=/sdcard/Download/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
(This is assuming it's in your download folder.)
I am currently looking for roms So far 0 exist.
Can anyone point me to a good custom ROM for my device? Also, is there an exhaustive list of custom ROMs available? This is my 3rd android device, and I've been able to find root methods and custom recoveries etc for all 3, but haven't found much development for the LG Optimus Zone 2. Would searching the deep web be useful? I've only been into these things since last July and haven't encountered many people outside of the internet that knows about or is interested in these things.
Any and all guidance is appreciated

What tarp recovery did you use by chance?

Twrp* sorry.

daishi4u over @ AA51 compiled CWM and TWRP for the LG Optimus Fuel L34C, which is the TracFone variant of the VS415PP I believe. I read further in the thread where someone else with the VS415PP flashed twrp and the boot.img and had to flash the OS, he then re-flashed only twrp and it worked fine for him. I grabbed flashify from the play store, downloaded twrp 2.8.4.0 from the top of the thread (which is where the preceding url will take you), and flashed the .img. Works like a charm

I'm sorry about the lack of custom Roms. Please tell me... What kind of ROM are you wanting? AOKP, Cyanogen, AOSP, etc. I'm working on a ROM now, however it is still in Dev phase 2. A preferred medium is appreciated!

Personally, I would prefer AOSP, mainly because it is lightweight.

L would be great as it runs much better than KK on majority of devices.

Correction: Do you have a boot partition backed up to a *.img file
I got it fixed.. Thanks anyways.

It really bugs me when people don't give proper or any details.
Both accounts above (the third-hand account left out some important details) involved the exact same issue and neither poster gave any details worth a damn how to resolve it.
I just got this phone from work and decided to risk rooting and flashing TWRP. Then I did as the other two guys did and flashed the bootloader from the above-mentioned thread @ androidarea51 so VOL+ could be used during boot to get into TWRP. That's where I ran into a snag like the other two guys. I got the LG Security Error and had to use the LG Mobile Support Tool to recover the factory bootloader, recovery, and OS to the phone. Fortunately everything I had added to the phone was still there, so it didn't wipe any data. There are plenty of guides on how to use it.
The bootloader compiled for the Fuel L34C DOES NOT work for the VS415PP - only TWRP and CWM do. Therefore, if you flash either recovery, you must install something like Quickboot that allows rebooting your phone directly into the recovery. Otherwise, you can't use it. (It doesn't just work "like a charm" on it's own as g0nzo made it sound.)
P.S. If anyone wants to take a try at the ROM, I did manage to back it up. It's pretty much factory as I got the phone 2 days ago and did hardly anything with it in that time.
Your out of luck because building you own rom for the Lg optimus zone 2 is utterly impossible!! You would need the source code which is the heart of building a rom. Unless you find a device that is almost identical to the Lg optimus zone 2 you can use the source code from it but I have built roms for my LG G2 and LG optimus L70 and I needed the source code ? Sorry about spilling this news but I will be working on a way to retrieve the code but since the device is a bit old I focus on the later Devices

It's not impossible its actually quite simple, but when you cant get the updater-script then it becomes inpossible. You can find the source code for the LG Optimus Zone 2 here: http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=vs450ppThe G2 is about as far away from the Zone 2 as you can get. The L70 is closer... but still not good enough.
