VS980 Not Loading Any Videos - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! My VS980 hasn't been loading any videos the last month and now its starting to really frustrate me!! Im running PA 5/01 with the latest GAPPs. I've tried about 4 other ROMs with the same luck. The video doesn't load or freezes my phone. Using sound search as well shows "Can't reach Google at the momemt" but I can load pictures and web pages fine. I went to 11A stock tot, then wiped and flashed my ROMs. Is there something I'm missing with this new fancy radio modem stuff?

Any advice? I'd like my phone back to normal, minus stock OS please!

[Q] Very Strange Problem

Hey all, I'm having a problem with my nexus here and its driving me crazy. Basically i was behind on updates and running 4.2.2 (Paranoid Android) until today. I decided I would upgrade to the newest Paranoid android 3.99 RC2. First off, i downloaded the stock nexus 4 images, and flashed em all through fastboot. Then i flashed the newest CWM (6.0.3.8 i think) and proceeded to flash PA.
But when i booted into PA, i had no cell connectivity as well as unknown baseband, imei, and imei sv, even though the baseband is clearly shown in fastboot (its 0.84). I tried reflashing the baseband, no luck. So i reflashed the stock google img's and my imei and everything came back.
So i tried a second time and it still didn't work. Seems like whenever i flash PA, i lose my imei and baseband.
Help me out guys
Anybody?

DID you do a full wipe before flashing?
I would be very careful and stay stock until you get an answer. Without IMEI your phone is illegal and won't work. I've stayed away from C /M as it's buggy and has too much trouble, like this.
Sorry

If you are coming from 4.2 make sure to flash 4.3 Radio and Bootloader!!
Follow this guide:

Yes, I did a full wipe, even the SD.
I flashed the full 4.3 stock Google image through fast boot first. So I should be totally up to date.
I will try TWRP and see if its the new CWM that's messing things up.

The CWM version you used has a bug which derps your baseband when you flash anything. Simple fix: install any other version of CWM or use TWRP, then flash everything again (radio, rom, whatever). This happened to a lot of people. You'll be fine.

Android is upgrading and then bootloop...

I recently upgraded my ROM to the latest version. Wiped the cache and davlik, flashed the new rom and then flashed GAPPS. The rom boots and shows Android is Upgrading but after a few seconds, it reboots again and goes through Android is Upgrading again and restarts prematurely.
Also tried only flashing the rom without gapps but I am getting the same issue.
Did you wipe data or was it a dirty flash.

It was a dirty flash. Then since it failed, cleared data and system and flashed but still no dice. Flashed the latest Cm nightly and it worked. Been using it since. Might be a problem with the rom. One other person had a similar problem though there are some people who used the same zip but didn't face any troubles. Looks like Cm for now

Yea I know it sounds weird but not all phones are created equally. I had 2 galaxy s3's, one Rom would work on one and not the other. It's definitely strange.
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium HD app
Apparently, it's a recovery issue. I'm on CWM. People who have flashed it successfully are on TWRP. Will give it a shot over the weekend.

The problem was indeed CWM. Flashed fine with TWRP.

VZW G2: Lose Wifi and Access to Play Store when going to CM or Kit Kat

Hey guys... hoping somebody could help with this.
Everytime I try to flash CM 10.2 or 11 or Gummys Kit Kat ROM I end up losing wifi and access to the Play Store.
It'll ask me for my password for a wifi network and then save it but won't connect.
When I try to login to the play store it either wont update/download the apps or wont even log me in.
I've used the appropriate Clockwork or TWRP to flash the ROM's along with full wipes each time. I've also tried wifi fixes when I get the ROM's installed. I even tried to go back to stock from Malladus and reflash but no luck.
Try a reflash with system unmounted? Also verify that it's a working gapps package

Just tried with system unmounted... no luck. I've used 2 different gapps. Nothing. Only thing I can think of is using Flashify, but I dont recall seeing others having problems with it.
Thanks for trying though.
I haven't flashed anything yet but the Play Store sounds like GAPPS.
Perhaps you grabbed a bad kernel somewhere. I'd try to flash stock back and see if everything normalizes.

Don't flash roms using flashify. That's for mods and stuff.

Yeah I was good going back to stock but still no luck when trying to go to CM or Gummy.
I only used Flashify to go from TWRP to Clockwork as it was needed to flash kit kat. I didn't actually flash a ROM with it.

Vs980 where to go from here?

I finally decided to drop my beloved galaxy nexus. The N5 seemed like the next phone of my dreams but couldn't stand the thought of losing my unlimited plan so G2 seemed like the next logical choice. I have been reading as much as I can and still having a hard time wrapping my head around things. Here is where I am at:
Bought phone from swappa appeared to be in new condition as advertised with plastic still on the phone.
Not sure if the phone was updated ota by the seller but the software and baseband were 12b out the box not rooted.
I rooted successfully with latest I0root method.
Installed loki patched twrp 2.6.3.3 successfully via freegee method. Full nand backup of rooted stock. Backed up imie with freegee and imie and other partitions via flashable zip method.
So where do I go from here? Is it safe to flash any VS980 rom from this point?

Yes you should be good to go from that point forward.

I have yet to install a custom rom or I could let you know. I have however upgraded to philz recovery and successfully installed dorimanx kernels. Got a little busy messing with exposed modules as well. I wanted to make sure I have all my essentials backed up before messing with roms and have the appropriate files and drivers working in case something goes wrong. I tried to install malladus yesterday and the install failed but I want to say the download was bad as it took forever. I had no issues with restore. I'll report back if I have any luck.

If you want some KitKat love, try out Mahdi ROM with the latest furnace kernel. Very very stable on my vs980.
Sent from my LG-VS980 using Tapatalk
You've bought the right device, aside from some unreleased phone of course. I too came from the gnex and I love this thing. Go install some AOSP ROM and it will be like you never left the gnex. (Although admittedly not as stable YET). With KK just being released by LG, all roms should get better. Anyways, enjoy a camera that works all the time not just when it is super bright and a battery that is equal to 3x of the galaxy nexus.

Thanks for the input. I installed AICP latest ROM last night with no issues. Feels amazing with no scroll lag compared to stock. Only thing I miss is knock off but hey you can't have it all. Gonna give furnace a go later.
