[Q] Navigation Bar disappeared! - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm currently with OptimusG3 1.4.1 on my d802.
This morning I noticed that my screen off effect takes no effect at all although I've already choose 'retro-tv' effect.
I noticed that my navigation bar also skip its animation when pressed, so it is just like it doesn't have its animation anymore, just give a sudden glow when pressed.
I'm curious that maybe something off with the animation scale, but when I checked in developer option in setting, the animation scale seems normal, therefore when my toast notification came up, it doesn't show the toast suddenly not like my navigation bar.
Then I tried to test the device test through hidden menu "3845#*802#", the very top one. It asked me to confirm that the test will be held via AAT test therefore I have to agree, and when I pressed agree, my phone restarted and won't go any further to the bootloader, yes it is soft bricked.
Then I tried to re install the ROM, but after the installation complete, when I entered the setup wizard on first boot, there is no navigation bar:crying:
I checked the setting > display, and there is no option about the navigation bar button that should exist there.
Got frustrated, I tried to restore the very first nandroid backup of my stock JB ROM. After it is booted I saw my navigation bar come back but I only saw my home screen for 2 seconds and it got replaced by AAT service, therefore, the navigation bar disappeared again.
So I decided to reboot it, and when I saw my home screen, I spam pressing home button to prevent the AAT to run, and it worked. I uninstalled the AAT service through Titanium Backup to see if the problem still exist. Gladly after removing the AAT, I booted up my stock JB ROM normally.
Then I tried to install the OptimusG3 1.4.1 once again along with the KK baseband since it is running on KK.
But once again, I can't see the navigation bar on the first boot.
Problem that maybe caused this?
I assume that now my system will always try to run the AAT service which cause my navigation bar problem. Unlike at the stock JB, this OptimusG3 1.4.1 doesn't have AAT service in the app list, so I can do nothing with it.
And if it is really like that, is there any way I can change the boot way so the AAT will no longer run on every of my boot??
Please help me, I can't even run my phone again in KK if every time I boot, I always face that AAT service.
Please help. . . .

Try to flash an aosp rom and use it for some minutes. Afterwards download the optimus zip again and flash it.

If that is the case, I've tried using my stock JB ROM for hours, but that was also triggered by the AAT sercive at the first time it booted while logically, since it is a nandroid backup from a long time ago, why does it have to boot up with AAT service after restore?
I've also tried to restore old backup of OptimusG3 1.4.1 when I flash it first time, after I restore that nandroid backup, it goes bootloop, which means something prevent it to enter the home screen, which I assume it is the AAT recalling this ROM doesnt have that AAT service.

Aosp Roms don't have this service that's why you should try this

appreciate the idea, pal.
but the thing is, if the dont have it, it means I will get the same issue with re installing the OptimusG3 1.4.1 because it also doesnt have it.
and even I manage to find a ROM with AAT service, which will automatically open the AAT service since boot, I still need to prevent it from opening like I did with my Stock JB ROM to maintain the navigation bar, because once AAT is opened, it will take whole screen which cause the navigation bar disappear again.
I need a way to make the way my phone boot like normal boot without any other app interrupt the booting process like the AAT did. I dont even know why in the first place this issue has caused that AAT always running on boot on whatever ROM I use.
I need a way to restore the normal boot process....

Then install Optimums but Reboot to recovery and delete the att service with the file manager of the rec

Well, that is what I tried like I mention above, pal.
just like I said, this optimusG3 1.4.1 doesnt have AAT service, that's why it failed to run the AAT but still it get rid the navigation bar when booting.
Thats why I need a way to make the AAT stop running every time I boot and instead prefer a normal boot, there is something off with the script and I don't even know how it can change that and how I suppose to fix the booting way, not just the AAT need to be deleted, but also stop running from booting in whatever ROM I used.

that's why i would install an aosp rom and then install a stock rom. Maybe this will delete the script for loading this service.

problem fixed
Tried re install OptimusG3 1.4.1, install CloudyG3 2.1, Pardus ROM,
even flashing stock JB firmware, were not resolving the problem.
Got the fix from sir OptimusRs himself,
OptimusRs said:
don't worry backup your files to pc and flash Stock JB firmware and do (Factory Rest) an menu will show it say normal boot etc select normal boot amd press power button the device will boot normal.
it happen to me once.

I ended up brought myself to the service center though and I got my d802 with stock KK firmware just after OptimusRs telling me that.
So, the fix is to flash any Stock Firmware, but the thing is I already did that using Flashtool 2014 with CSE flash, but it doesnt give the clean flash because I still had the problem using that. Instead, try using LG PC suite because it gives a clean one like the service center guy use to handle my device. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks a lot, sir @OptimusRs :angel:

i have the same problem
I try to make this solution. But flashtool 2014 stop at 2 % while flashing the kdz file. Any one face this problem ??

[Q] Blu Kuban updater issues

Hey I'm running the Blu Kuban 1.0.0.2 ROM on my Sprint Galaxy S4, I went straight from MDL ---> Blu Kuban after completely wiping my phone as instructed, everything seems to be working fine except there's one small problem, when I go into the updater to try mods or add-ons, the package will download and ask me to restart so it can flash it automatically, it reboots into recovery and it starts to load but a few seconds later an error along the lines of 'path not found' shows up (I honestly can't read it exactly, all the text disappears from the screen a moment after the error and I'm left with a blank screen save for the android symbol and a triangle with an "!" hovering over it) the phone reboots itself after a while and functions normally, but whatever I was trying to install won't work. I figure I could just flash the packages manually but I think it'd be really great if I could use the automatic updater, I've searched high and low but as far as I can tell this is the first time anyone has asked about this problem.
Any ideas? I'd appreciate any help.

The reboot into recovery thing doesn't work for me either, although I don't get an error like you stated. It could be that your TWRP version is different than what they programmed Kuban Updater to work with... I dunno..
What I do is just download the mod, then manually reboot into recovery and install it myself using TWRP. All mods I've done that way have worked perfectly.

I had a similar problem.. I am running Rom manager to add zip files and once it reboots into the flash part I just manually find the zip it is in the 0/kubandownload/(whatever your zip file name is) and install is that way. Idk if that is what you need to know but hope it helps somewhat.

[Q] D803 Phone freezes then reboots every few minutes

What's currently happening is my phone will boot and work normally except it appears the radio is not working then after 60-120 seconds freeze for a second then reboot. Wifi does work but I just see an x for the cell network signal and if I take out the SIM I get no notification. Curiously if I'm using the camera it seems to delay the rebooting by a few minutes.
I've tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 LG G2 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) to no success, I was able to flash, it removed TWRP but I get the same symptoms anyway.
I've tried flashing the Rogers modem and this did not make a difference.
When I noticed this problem was when I was installing/testing some xposed modules, although it seems strange that they could break the phone in this way.
I've run out of ideas and although my phone isn't bricked per say it's near useless if it's going to reboot every minute or two. The phone doesn't reboot if I leave it in download mode or TWRP so this makes me think there's some hope.
Assuming it's not against the rules I'll PayPal anyone who comes up with the fix $50 CAD because right now I'm hooped.
Did you download and try flashing the exposed disabler zip file?
Sent from my LG-D803 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Of course there is hope!
All you gotta do is just download this ROM...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451592
Download it with your PC, then connect your phone to the PC to transfer the file.
The TWRP and flash it and that should fix it all.
Good luck
Do you have a gmail widget on your lockscreen? (Was worth a shot since others have reported varying issues with gmail widgets on the lockscreen).
I lost my recovery when I tried to go back to stock, and I can't seem to install any apps. I'm trying "upgrade recovery" from the LG Mobile Support Tool to see if that works. Otherwise I guess I have to find out how to root and flash a recovery entirely over ADB
I was able to restore the stock recovery and factory reset but that still didn't resolve the issue. Can someone provide a /system/ partition dump of a d803? I'm assuming there's something broken in there but I don't think flashing a ROM will solve that since flashing stock didn't seem to.

It's not a paperweight yet, I can adb. I rooted it through adb I'm just not sure what the xposed module broke. It has to be something that persists across flashing stock but I don't have anything to compare against.

Hi I have LG G2 D802 . My problem is that my phone hangs a lot . I did hard reset but problem didnt go. After hard reset i tried to install custom built rom but still same problem. Then I re installed lolipop 5.0.2 still the same problem .. now
i have downgraded to kitkat and again same problem .. Even now when it hangs It turn off completely like it got bricked or something but it work some time and again after some use it hang.. now i have hardreset my device and putted on standby mood but phone was working fine after some use phone hanged again . I dont understand what is the problem with my LG G2
I am having the exact same problem on stock 4.4.2 with my D803. I have random reboots every few minutes. I suspect it is a hardware issue since the problem persisted even after returning to stock using kdz. Unfortunately, I don't have an EFS backup.
I have tried multiple other ROMS (CM12.1, DU, Cloudy 3.2 and 3.3) and all are even less usable than stock (reboots while I am doing the initial setup).
Any suggestions? I don't know what else to try and am ready to buy a new phone now as this G2 is basically unusable... I'd greatly appreciate any help.

[q] stuck in bootloop sprint ls980 please help!!!!

OK to start off i am not a noob at this, i have read though the forms and cant seem to find out why my phone will not come out of this bootloop. This started happening 2 days ago when I went to install a new rom on my phone. I powered down my phone, put it in recovery (Twrp), I wiped everything but internal storage. I then processed to flash the new rom. Everything went great. My phone rebooted and worked fine for the first 1 min, when i tried to pull down the notification bar the phone stuck off and went into a bootloop. I then tried to go back to my old rom and had the same problem (notification bar would not pull down). So i went to plan B and used the Back To Stock Form to restore the phone back to stock. The process went smooth as well not a problem at all. When the phone started up it allowed me to set up the voice navigation and name of the phone, as i went to update the prl and profile the phone shut off again, when it turned back on it starts normally and the goes to the lock screen where i am unable to make any iterations with the screen at all besides when it turns the blacklight off, as i try to use the knock on the LED light turns white but the screen will not turn back on (not even with the power button). Then it reboots to the lockscreen again and continues to do it until i manually force it off. I have tried everything from redownloading the firmware files, tried back to stock 3 times, hard factory reset, and reset in recovery mode. My phone is back to stock but i am unable to do anything with it unless i factory reset and go though the set up again, but even then i cant get a connection (even with wifi) without the phone shutting off and rebooting. Everytime the phone reboots the time reads 12:00am and switches to 12:01 really quick. I cant get a connection at ALL (I EVEN TRIED REMOVING THE SIMS AND AND PUT IT BACK IN AFTER BACK TO STOCK PROCESS.)
Im not sure if the application Dr.Web could possibly be making my phone do this. I did have it installed and did not remove before I tried to switch to the new rom. The anti-theft part was active.
SOMEONE PLEASE BE MY HERO AND HELP........I REALLY WOULD HATE TO DEAL WITH LG ON THIS ISSUE IF I CAN FIX IT MYSELF

god that is really hard to read...did you make a back up before you do installation? if so do a restore, if you dint, download another rom, kernel, put it in your phone, wipe everything except internal storage via TWRP then flash rom then kernel.

I had the same problem except with me, i was just trying to change fonts manually. It went into a bootloop and i stressed dover it for hours until finally i found out that you have to use the lg mobile support tool (you can find it in one of these threads on the lg g2) and revert it back to stock. That fixed it perfectly fine. Its a lengthy process but simple. If that doesn't work you have to do what the lg mobile support tool does semi-manually with another program lg flash tool which is longer but just as simple if you follow the directions given in the thread to the letter.

they have coders there, I'm sure if they really want to know they can figure it out. If you send it in to get it fix out of your own pockets (meaning you pay them) then i'm sure they dont care, but if you want a replacement due to warranty then it may be a different story.

I eneded up restoreing my phone back to stock and took it into my local sprint store it cost ne 75 dollars to replace the phone not under warranty (if u have sprint protection its free) i told them i took and ota update and it started rebooting itself. If you do get a replacement make sure u back up your efs files to a safe place on your phone. Theses files can become corrupted by flashing roms and kernals.

Not under warranty? Doesn't it have a 1 year manufacturer warranty? The G2 wasn't released on Sprint until November last year so it should have been covered.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
Yes its still under manufacturer warranty but when i made a repair order with lg it said it would take 2 to 3 weeks to get my phone back and if they found out it was due to being rooted and flashing roms im sure lg would of charged a arm a leg to repair it. With sprint i got a new phone in 2 days or ordering it.

[Q] Major ROM Problems, need help

Hello there XDA Community, I made a mistake when update my phone using cyanogenmod that has left me very angry at myself and I could use a good bit of advice to fix it. I went to upgrade to the M10 Snapshot from a nightly and it cause for all hell to break loose. It sent the device into a boot loop and when it booted up it said that certain processes had failed or had and error and then went into another boot loop. I didnt have a backup and should have, which is where I made my main mistake because I was think about doing one right before I did the update to the snapshot. Now I have the device working, but there are still a lot of problems. First my home button doesnt work at all except for waking the device, nothing besides that. In addition my notification drawer has competely stopped showing notifications and quick settings tiles but will allow for quick setting in the initial pull down menu with notification that does work. My lock screen doesn't work because even though I hace a pattern security lock, it never even locks the device at all. I have a ton of data and would like to keep all contacts messages and photos, everything else I can do without. I have Titanium backup and would like to know how I can get my device back on a normal Cyanogenmod ROM with the data that I want, or how to get it back to Stock Firmware while also getting the data that I want. I would like to get back to Touchwiz for the sake of turning the phone in soon. If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.
Are your on mdl bootloader? If you want to get it back to stock use Odin. If your data is on the external sdcard you'll be fine. If it's on the internal you'll want to back that up to you pc.

How do I use the odin download to get back. I am having the same issue with the snapshot 10 where it is stuck in a boot loop.

Stuck in bootloop after un-installing Flipboard

I'm usually fairly good at troubleshooting my own stuff but this really has me stuck in the same place for a few hours now.
So basically Flipboard has been nagging me(well play store is, not the app itself but anyway) so I said to myself why don't I uninstall it since I've never used it and don't plan to, and besides I hate to have pointless apps installed. So I open TitaniumBackup and I see it is installed as a system app, I thought what's the worst that can happen? so I do uninstall it and a minute later my phone shuts off. I try to turn it on and it doesn't go past the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 flash screen, it either reboots or stays like that.
I try to go into recovery to restore a backup and I can't, it is stuck at Recovery Booting and again it either stays like that or reboots and does it again and again and again.
Now, I haven't made any changes or installs on my phone for weeks now, so this is either because I unistalled Flipboard(I know I shouldn't have risked it since it was a system app but I really could not see it going this way) or the hardware is on it's way out(don't see what else could it be).
I figured I should flash a stock rom with odin, I can get into download mode, and reinstall everything from scratch.
I took a stock image from xda and flashed it and it does exactly the same thing.
Right now I'm downloading another stock image from sammobile for my country/provider to see if this will change anything.
What else can I try? I'm completely stuck and I really don't want to send the phone back like this, I doubt amazon is gonna be happy about it.

Emotion Revolution 12.1 Rom

Really sorry for the double-post. I'm quite desperate and need my phone for work.
Since last post I've tried flashing N910FXXU1COH4_N910FH3G1COH3_H3G.zip through Odin from SamMobile and it did the same thing with rebooting constantly.
Then I've installed Kies and went to Tools -> Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation and gave it the model and S/N and it downloaded something and everything went all right, the phone reboots and I'm back in the same circle, it just shows me the splash screen(in some video's I've seen that after this procedure they get the splash screen and then the android bot with a progress bar, I don't get that, I only get the splash screen and reboot) and reboots.
I thought this was a last resort thing? Is the phone completely dead or is there something I can try?
Again sorry for the double-post.
Update: still no progress so I've contacted Amazon and they said to send it back so hopefully this works out in the end, no matter how annoying the waiting time will be, if you do have any suggestions on what I should try please let me know as I haven't posted the phone yet.
