Hey guys,
I am new to the LG ecosystem of Android as I only am familiar with Samsung devices. Any who, this didn't stop me from helping my friend, Ahmed, to flash a stock firmware on his LG F230S G2. I am very frustrated by the fact that there is no as such simple or straight forward guide present on doing so.
Any ways, I found this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476) while looking through XDA. And believe me, I have tried it all to make it work! Nothing seems to budge.
Simple problem and question: All is setup. Everything has gone to plan. KDZ file has been selected. Right about when the computer shows 47% completion, the phone hangs on 49% completed. After a while, "ERROR" pops up. Now all I want to know is what seems to be the cause and can someone direct me to a proper guide/method on manually flashing LG firmware?
Thanks for reading and if you have something in mind, please post below! Need more details? Ask and I'll try to provide!
I had the same problem when it hangs at 47 % or 49 % it took me ages to find out to get past this issue . I will help you my friend just give me two mins to turn PC on and give you a way to basically force flash the Kzd file

but after completing final step the phone went into a repeatedly booting (bootloop) displaying only freeXperia logo.
I used Cyanogen Mod 7.1 for Xperia X8 (code named Shakira), FlashTool, FXP030 kernel (2.6.29). I can go into CWM Recovery but reinstalling the Cyanogen mod update doesn't work.
If someone can help I will appreciate.

Which version are you flashing and whats your phone model?
In 0115 do a full wipe and just flash the zip, choose the option select by default and you are good to go (I have few bugs, but only video recording reboot is a major one).
I had lean kernel before but now after updating to this rom I have stock. I don't know but guess after you flash this rom you can flash what kernel you like.

Try full wipe and then flash 0115 version, record video not working yet but I guess it will be soon.
But that aside this rom is working great with a few tweaks from s5.
After flashing this rom it will take a few minutes to start (samsung logo boot) but no need to panic
I hope those were useful informations.

On 5.0 lollipop theres no longer swipe between tabs.
Now you will find all open tabs in recent apps menu.

If you use headset and others divice you can use ups . I hope dev solve this problem.

With some Samsung handsets (like the Galaxy Grand Prime) you can key in from the telephone keypad "*#2263#" which brings you to a band selection ServiceMode.
This ServiceMode lets you "force" the phone to lock onto particular mode and frequency.
Where I live AT&T has Band 2, 4, & 17. I get all bands in my home but for some reason my phone only wants to park on Band 14 and regularly only connect to Band 2 (for about 5 min like every hour), I want to connect to Band 2 due to it being 15x15mhz with CA, So I get 50mbps download, while Band 14 is very congested, I only get like 2mbps download.
Does anyone know how I can access the hidden band selection service menu, or how I can disable other Bands?
I'm rotted BTW, thanks.

Select phone information.... 3 dot in upper right corner....band selection......... U can also scroll down from the phone information and select lte, wcdma, gsm/cdma..... Tons of options
And if your really brave you can use qpts tools to disable em.. But you can wreck your radio that way

Well I'm dumb, that code you said looked familiar to *#*#4636#*#* which is the Phone Testing Info which you can only force LTE/GSM/etc. I couldnt get the DATA code to open, you just did it in the dial pad?

I've put it in diag mode using boot menu but it doesn't seem to have any effect...
I got myself into a bit of trouble trying out the band selection menu in the 4636 test mode. There are 3 options in that menu, USA band, cellular, PCS. Itapped one of them and now I can't make or receive calls no matter which option I set it to. Reboot didn't help. I clean wiped and reflashed truepure 2.5, it didn't help either. The test mode says my phone is connected to 4g and correctly shows my carrier.
Now, is there another setting that I can change to get it working again? Maybe return to stock rom can fix this? Please somebody help me out.
You need to flash the modem again.
I don't know any other solution.

Thanks for your advice. I just tried flashing ota modem, both by flashing with twrp and fastboot. It did not work. Fortunately I found a twrp backup I did when I first purchased the phone and got voice back. Remember to backup everyone, it might save your hours of work... and possibly money to get a new phone...
