[Q] From stock to AOSP, am I doing this right? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright, I just got my LG G2 in, and I am considering to install CM11 on it, but it seems like there are various pitfalls on this device (such as damaging your screen because of the kernel?). Therefore, I wanted to check everything was alright:
- I have an Intl D802 bought in Europe, with software D80220d-EUR XX, Android 4.4.2. No updates have been installed yet. This was my plan:
- Install Stumproot to root the device
- Install SuperSU from the Play Store
- Get AutoRec to install TWRP
- Boot into TWRP, flash the ZIP for d802 of TWRP with thermal control from dr87 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53605359
- Create a backup
- Use ADB to create a backup of EFS and pull that backup to my PC for future use
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Install an official CM11 ROM
- Flash Dorimanx to prevent the black line issue? Is this stilll necessary or do we still need to flash a custom kernel instead of the default CM11 one to prevent the black line issue?
Thanks in advance

[Q] Firmeware Update with LG Support Tool - D802 rooted

I am running a D802 with Stock ROM (D80220b-EUR-XX).
The phone's rooted and I have a Recovery (TWRP) installed.
I am not really into flashing ROMs, but the main reason for me to root was to use xdabbeb's camera Mod, as well as Viper4Android.
Now there's a new firmware available (20f) and I am wondering if it would work to update my device with the LG Support Tool, as I won't be able to install the update OTA?
When connected, the LG Support Tool tells me that there is an update available, but I am not sure if this would work, or if I end up in a bootloop, as I have a recovery installed. Also, I wouldn't want to loose all my data or internal SD data...
- So, is it possible to update my G2 with the LG Support Tool even though I have a recovery installed?
- If yes, would I loose all data?
- If no, I guess I could always flash the kdz with this method thread, but I guess I couldn't use the "normal flash" mode and would loose all data anyway
Thanks in advance - any input is appreciated

[Q] What did autorec do to my phone?!?

Hi all,
Let me try to walk you through everything that I've done to try and get some help here.
I have an lg g2 sprint (lg-ls980)
1. When I got it I first upgraded to android 4.4.2
2. Then I rooted using stump root
3. I installed xposed and a few xposed modules....I then decided Id rather have a different rom, so
4. I used autorec (which to my understanding changed my kernel in order to workaround boot loader and install twrp? is that accurate?)
5. Booted to twrp, wiped data and installed cyanogenmod and gapps
After this I get stuck and can't boot past the lg logo, so I booted back to recovery and restored my backup. So I did the same and tried pacrom this time with the same results.
I then decided that if I'm going to be stuck with stock rom I at least want my knock on back, so I flashed the patched kernel and same thing- stuck at lg logo....
I know I downloaded the correct zip files and placed them on the root, and always wiped before flashing.
Then I went into download mode on the lg support tool to try to get back to factory, but it says my firmware and recovery is up to date. The odd thing is that the lg support tool shows my phone as ls740 rather than ls980... is this because of something that autorec changed? Do I need to download zip files for ls740 instead? So confused..
About phone in my g2s settings shows android version 4.4.2 and kernel version 3.4.0
Anyways, if anyone could help me to successfully get one of these roms to flash and get back to the kernel that supports the knock code I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

finally custom rom for lg g3 d858hk

hey guys i found custom ROM for d858hk version which is here
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7892224-1-1.html
can be translated through Google but we need someone to explain to us in details.
I might able to help, I can read Chinese
let me know if you want any explanations.
it's based on lollipop 20d
- v1.0 LED not working, and this v2.0 fixed the problem
- rooted, superSU v2.46
- once you flashed the ROM, no need to flash the ROOT again
- busybox is in the system and no app not there
- works on D857 858 and 858HK
- it's a LIGHT version, there are functions that are deleted, like weather widget for example
- including deleted app inside the ROM, and could recover yourself
- app can write data to external SD card
- split view works for 3rd party app
- smart cover function removed, user can download the "deleted app" and put back into the system to get it working
deleted apps

HOW TO FLASH
FOR D858HK
1. ROOT
2. install TWRP 2.8.1.0
3 Reboot to TWRP 2.8.1.0 and upgrade it to 2.8.5.1
4. Flash ROM using this newest TWRP
D857 and D858
1. ROOT
2. download build.prop.zip, extract, using ES explorer to replace the one in "system" folder
3 flash D858HK 's TOT (http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7502599-1-1.html)

Do "double wipe" after flashing the ROM, otherwise might have FC messages
Thanks alot i think this will help ...will try it now
but can we install twrp when in lollipop as i am now on lollipop
any ideas?
maybe these
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7677473-1-1.html
one click Recovery installation
need to be rooted
1. extract files to computer
2 connect phone
3 turn on usb debugging
4. run Recovery.bat
---------------------------------------
old temp way, didn't say if it works on L or only KK
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7727191-1-1.html
So...can any of you fluent Chinese speakers/readers help with the actual downloading of the ROM? It seems the rom is available at http://pan.baidu.com/s/1mg86X6o, but I get a little overloaded and can't figure out how to download from there. It seems to want me to log in, but I can't figure out if there's a non-login download ability lurking somewhere?
Do you have some screenshoots ?
Two things. First, I had the wrong link before. Correct one is: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1sjoKe4l. Second, I realized the reason is that the zip file is over 1GB and they force you to a "download butler". So the login thing is related to copying that file into your (QQ, for example) account and then you could download the file from there.
If anyone with a D858HK is interested, I was able to install this custom rom on my phone without any problems. I followed steps elsewhere to root (the one click version) and install TWRP. The rom is basically a slim version of the standard lollipop rom. If you end up deciding to install this, be aware that the Google Contact Sync app is not included within the rom and you'll need to also download the "deleted apps" zip file mentioned in the same post (link in OP). In the "deleted apps" zip, you'll want to grab the Gooogle Contact Sync apk and install that ... otherwise you can't get your contacts copied to the new rom. There were a bunch of other apks, but this one the only one so far that seemed like it shouldn't have been removed from the rom.
FYI, here are the version details of the rom:
Android version: 5.0.1
Baseband version: MPSS.DI.3.0.c6.2-00011-M8974AAAAANAZM-1
Kernel version: 3.4.0
Build number: (some chinese)1121561(more chinese)
Software version: D858HK20d-HKG-XX
So in total its not worth installing it? But anyway, thanks for your report!

I guess that depends on how easy it is to remove LG's bloatware and whether or not you need all/any of it. I personally didn't care for it anyway. But yeah, other than that, nothing special about the rom.
There were a bunch of other apks, but this one the only one so far that seemed like it shouldn't have been removed from the rom.
i believe there's a thread somewhere in this forum (http://bbs.gfan.com/forum-1508-type-10913.html) regarding d858 MIUI, could someone confirm? Thanks

My LG-D858HK phone hard bricked:
What happened/how I hard bricked the phone. I'd already rooted the phone with Marshmallow and then tried to flash phone TWRP by (mistakenly) using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=b007.autorecd858hk when it hard bricked the phone. Now, the phone screen is black/blank and blue/red LED light flashing.
In addition, my PC doesn't recognise phone when plugged into USB port/s. Pop-up on PC screen says; “The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and windows do not recognize it.” And in Device Manager, I see a ‘yellow triangle’ next to LGE Platform Android Composite USB Device Driver.
I tried different methods to go into download mode and I’m not sure if any worked. Because, obviously, I can’t see anything on the phone screen to carry out procedures to fix phone in download mode. Moreover, I’m not even sure if the phone goes into download mode apart from a sound made from PC and the pop-up straight after.
PC always recognised phone when plugged into USB port/s before it was hard bricked.

D800 - I just can't get CloudyG2 working no matter what I do...

I've been having issues with my phone, and I'm not sure if this is a HW issue or not, but no matter what I do, either I lose recovery or get a security error. I poked around and found some instructions in the CloudyG3 thread. They're for 3.0 but I would guess 3.3 wouldn't be different enough to brick this thing. Can't remember who the quote is from, I just copy/pasted it, but here it is:
Some of you sent me a PM asking for the install instructions on D800 and this is how you install CloudyG2 3.0:
Downloads:
1. Download CloudyG2 3.0 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722646001
2. Download Patch - https://mega.co.nz/#!sVY0mRTb!qn7S9B...3m_QpMQkgzunn0
3. Download Signal Patch - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...l_Variants.zip
4. Download LP Baseband - http://blastagator.ddns.net/modem.php - d800-30f-modem-blastagator-signed.zip
5. Download KK Bootstack - http://blastagator.ddns.net/bootloader.php - bootstack-d800-KK_20c-blastagator-signed.zip
6. Optional: Download JB Bootstack in case if you want to revert the installation process and go back to your current ROM - http://blastagator.ddns.net/bootloader.php - bootstack-d800-JB_10d-blastagator-signed.zip
Flashing Process:
1. Backup the existing ROM (including EFS, Modem, etc.) in TWRP - very important and copy it over to the computer, just in case!
2. Wipe System + Data + Cache + Dalvik Cache - Do NOT select internal storage as it contains all your downloaded files + backups!
3. Flash KK Bootstack (downloaded from Step 5)
4. Flash LP Baseband (downloaded from Step 4)
5. Flash CloudyG2 3.0 (downloaded from Step 1) - Leave the default in Aroma when you have to pick the variant. Do NOT reboot the device as the patch installation (next Step) is very important.
6. Flash Patch (dowloaded from Step 2) - Select your variant.
7. Flash Signal Patch (downloaded from Step 3)
8. Reboot
Enjoy!

I'm guessing I have the incorrect files, most of the links I found in the thread with these instructions didn't seem to work so I Googled for them, maybe I don't even have the correct files. I took a screenshot in cmd of the exact filesizes.
Any help would be greatly appriciated!

Coming off a fresh TOT flash, I root with towelroot, flash TWRP using AutoRec, flash bootloader, then flashed Cloudy. It will boot at first, but then I run into "black screen of death" or security errors or when trying to boot to recovery, I'll run into similar issues. Does Blastagator's TWRP make the difference here?

I had the exact problem happen to me ....... I got the black screen of death .... phone wouldnt boot ....... and when i used the kk bootloader i would lose recovery ..... I was coming from kk to CloudyG2 ....
This is how i solved.
1. Flashed back to stock, stumproot to root Autorec v1 for bootloader
2. used Flashify to upgrade to 2.8.7.1 ( its now 2.8.7.3)
3. Downloaded n used bumpted LP bootstack and flashed blastagator stripped rom (its in flashable zip and installs everythin including modem .... patches etc EVERYTHING) http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g2/development/rom-stock-lollipop-30b-stripped-t3144195
4. Downloaded kk bootstack , CloudyG2 3.3 and clean flashed in recovery
I have been enjoying Cloudy ever since ...... D800
Thanks all, got it running! Cloudyfa has done some absolutely brilliant work here with this ROM, as well as xdabbeb with the advanced camera driver and xCam. I'm usually a vanilla-or-nothing guy with my Android ROMs but this one is quick and power efficient. The KitKat ROM that shipped with the phone was super bloated and gross, but I'll admit LG UX 4.0 isn't really that offensive, plus I like the goodies like Multi-Window and QuickRemote. Once I disabled/hid some of the remaining LG bloat, it's surprisingly pleasant and not really that far from AOSP aesthetically. Again, cheers to those who provided the assist on this one for me!
... now my only question is, should I try CloudyG3?

I need help with my LG G2 F320S

This is my first post, so I want to say "Hello" for everybody!
I need Your help. I bought a month ago smartphone LG G2 in korean version F320S. Now, I want install new soft CloudyG3 3.3 on my phone. But i can't update it to Android 5..It "says", android is newest. But it's stupid, i have KitKat on phone, and in net wrote, newest is Lollipop. When i trying installing Cloudy on KitKat, it write that file with CloudyRom is broken (i downloaded it two times). If i could download stock ROM from net, there isn't any problem, but link to stock soft on XDA for my version on F320S are "dead". For F320K and F320L are good, for my F320S isn't work. Can anyone will be so good and share with me an active link to my stock Lollipop firmware? Or will put it in share hosting, like a rapidshare.com or similar?
Well, don't install stock Lollipop, you don't need it in order to install Cloudy.
Assuming that you are on stock KitKat, unrooted - follow these steps:
1) Enable USB debugging and root the phone using DP tools
2) Find KitKat Autorec for F320S and blastagator TWRP 3.0.2-0 - copy the files to the phone, install and run Autorec like a normal app - if everything is successful it will boot TWRP 2.7 for you.
3) When you are in recovery mode - install TWRP 3.0.2-0, reboot the recovery.
4) Make a backup of the EFS and copy it to your computer, just in case.
5) Highly recommended - wipe data, cache, system, internal storage and reboot the recovery.
6) Copy the Cloudy ROM and the hybrid bootstack for F320S to your device and install them.
You're all set. It shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes.
