Experienced a really annoying problem today. My phone was in my pocket and I heard the LG boot up sound, so I figured the phone just randomly rebooted (happens about once a month, so very rate). When I checked the phone, I was at the LG initial setup screen, and all my days was gone.
I was running KitKat D80220b, with root and twrp installed. Since G2 xposed was just updated, I tweaked for custom navigation buttons and bleed immersive mode. Has this happened to anyone ?
For now, I reinstalled D80220c and will only root, and probably wait till G2 xposed becomes more stable on KitKat. Thoughts, anybody ?

I also have the "G2 Xposed" and I've never had any problems ... probably the hard reset is enough to solve the problem

I think the same crap happened to me. Check THIS Post I made back at the AEON thread. I haven't been able to boot my phone correctly this last two days.It keeps rebooting after a minute or so after booting. Very annoying and even worse that I don't what caused this crap. If you got any possible solution and can help me get out of this reboot loop it would be very appreciated.

Maybe it's a stuck power button? If not, have you tried going back to stock using the LG flash tool?
So this issue has persisted throughout wiping data/factory resetting. I'm really not sure what this is.
Basically what happens is that my phone will gradually get slower and slower until it freezes and then reboots. However, after it reboots, it will go into a boot loop. What I will then need to do is basically wait it out by shutting it off. Then, I wait for an hour (maybe more) before I try turning it back on again, at which point it returns to normal.
Any idea? I thought it might be a memory leak? But how would that affect rebooting? I'd like to also mention that at one point my recovery somehow disappeared as well. I managed to re-flash TWRP using Flashify, but I haven't dared going back into the recovery, because last time when I had lost my recovery, I ended up thinking that I had to wipe my phone completely (because even Download Mode wasn't working correctly).
By the way, I'm running an AT&T LG G2 d800, on the "d80010q" firmware 4.2.2. I'm rooted, with Xposed modules running, as well as the camera mod flashed. No other modifications have been made except for buildprop and systctl (kernel) changes through android tuner.
Same issue
Hello,
I am having this exact same issue. Did you ever find a fix for this? I have been searching for hours. I have tried numerous things, flashing back to stock with lg flash tool, installing different roms, it happens on all roms.
Thanks
Hello XDA community, I'm panicking a bit and am new to this whole smartphone thing.
So, yesterday I got an LG G2 and spent the majority of the day downloading apps and whatnot. Today I asked some friends and got the phone rooted, installed Xposed and some Modules, and decided to give flashing a new Kernel a try.
I have the LG G2 VS980 (Verizon) and flashed Dorimanx's v6.8 kernel successfully after making a Backup in TWRP.
Upon going back to basic usage, I realized the Navigation Buttons were gone. All of them. I tried swiping up and down and all around, thinking that maybe the Xposed Tweaks may have done something to them, but nothing made them appear. Also, the default Weather Widget failed to load, originally attempting to load and then defaulting to a "Failed to load widget" generic window. I went to google the issue when I got a "LG Keyboard Failed to load" error.
I immediately went and restored my backup, but the issues were still present. I tried multiple Factory Hard Resets through TWRP and even attempted Flashing an older version of Dorimanx's kernel (before anyone asks, yes I was using the VS980 version), nothing helped. In my latest desperation attempt, I used TWRP to reformat the partitions, so now my backup is gone.
Now I'm stuck, because I can't get through the VZW Setup Wizard since I apparently can't connect to the Backup Assistant network (which apparently has something to do with EFS? I'm not really sure), can't skip it without Navigation buttons, and can't access Wifi without the keyboard to type in the password to my home network. I've been avidly googling for the past 2-3 hours, but no one seems to have my exact issues. Currently, I'm following this guide to return to complete stock, and hopefully if the problem persists I can return the phone under warranty.
Can anyone offer me some help/advice in the meantime? I'm really curious as to what happened and of course I'm panicking due to potentially losing a phone after 1 day (the salesperson kept pushing their insurance on me as well, which I denied repeatedly). After the restore and then factory reset, the phone should be fully stock (the settings support this, showing the original kernel/build/everything) yet the errors persist.
Many thanks in advance!
EDIT: Here's some more detailed info:
Android version: 4.4.2
Baseband version VS98024A...
Kernel version: 3.4.0-perf

Returning to stock will solve any software problems you might have. I understand why you had issues with xposed, I get them too sometimes. Its always best to flash your kernel first and then do your mods.
Hi guys,
Have just spent the last couple of hours trying to research this but still not quite sure what's the best (safest!!) way of upgrading to lollipop on my SM-910G. I am rooted and currently on 4.4.4 and when I try to do an OTA update, I get the msg "The operating system has been modified in an unauthorised way.... etc etc"
When I connect via Kies, I get a pop up msg telling me that lollipop is available however when I try to update it tells me that I have to be unrooted. I read an article where some guy messed up his rooted S4 while trying to update via Kies. Can't afford for that to happen on my phone, I've backed up all my apps and data via Titanium Backup but now need to know what the safest way is to upgrade and keep all my settings etc.
I've downloaded the right 5.0 ROM (N910GDTU1BOC5_N910GXSA1BOC5_XSA.zip) for my model - am I correct to say that if I flash via Odin, I will lose all my apps and settings (and root)?
If I want to update and keep all my settings, am I safe to unroot via SuperSU, then update via Kies? I've read about how unrooting via SuperSU isn't really a complete unroot?
At the end of the day unless I'm 100% certain I will probably stay on 4.4.4 since there has been some horror stories with battery drain and stuff on 5.0
Has anyone been in a similar situation?

hi
Just a few points ...First if you " dirty flash" official stock Rom with Odin, then you will lose root ( so to me there is no need to unroot first ) However you do not loose any 3 rd party apps or settings . Also i never use Kies as my personal experience is that it is a waist of time .Regarding Lollipop well i have flashed several newer " version"/changelog/dated of Lollipop 5.0.1 over the past months and all of them have been good to me...( ..overall.) No real battery drain ,no lag ( only recent button and one " Samsung bug in the setting " Accessibilty" .
All my "problems " on Lollipop, on and off, was caused by 3 rd party apps
eg.Past few days i had suddenly random reboots over and over .i reflashed Lollipol ,i factory reset ,but the random reboots continued .
i then started to install all my +_ 162 ..?? apps one by one and checked
Eventually found my culprit ..'Greenify " (the experimental paid ,bolt on package, which is meant mostly for Xposed module with few functions you can also use without Xposed eg "don't remove Notifications " and Greenify system apps l)
After using Greenify for months with no issues it suddenly started giving problems .
So i could have given Lollipop the blame for my woes but i did not .
Yes I do believe Lollipop has issues ,but overall i cannot complain .
yes ,Titanuim is the way to go .
Also i "unrooted " via SuperUser app once, no problem at all, but then why do this if you just flash over it and root is gone
Bottom line ,
you can be "stuck " on Android v4.4.4 hoping and waiting .......?
or faceup to Lollipop ?
its your choice ?
good luck
Hey willcor thanks for the reply! Good to hear your experiences with this. Interestingly I've had a similar problem of sluggishness, lag and random rebooting (multiple times a day) on my Note 4 running kitkat. This went on for about 2 or 3 days. Tried installing some recently installed apps thinking it might have caused it, and now it seems it's fixed itself, I think??
Even pulling the battery and restarting often took ages to boot. Took my 128GB SD card out and tried to boot thinking maybe it was the card but it still lagged and restarted by itself. Like I said it seems ok now and has been ok for the last few days, but now that you mention Greenify, I have that installed too along with a few exposed modules. This rebooting problem is what motivated me to think about upgrading to lollipop to see if it would fix it.
Going by what you said, if I am not going to lose apps, data and settings, then I might flash to lollipop, then re-root. Sounds like the way to go. Maybe...

hi,
Just a quick remark. When i was on Android v4.4.4, most of my issues eg. Private mode S HEALTH... (yes i know there was quick fixes /patches , that you could apply) Play store not installing apps, lags from time to time etc was caused by Xposed Framework. As far as i can remember Xposed was never optimise for Android v4.4.4? As "good" as Xposed was, it gave me "terrible headache /problems" on my Note 4....... even after uninstalling Xposed it broke some apps functionality! (This is a fact for me) . but yet, on all my other devices, no issues ! As stated in my previous post, that Lollipop experience, has been over all, very good for me.,(I have accepted the few bugs, that comes with every software update be it Android v4.4.4 or Android v 5.0.1.)
Lollipop also enabled me to use other apps /features eg Network Toggle app (change network only to LTE or LTE/3G or 3G only.. root required)
Bottom line
for me is.... yes, Lollipop has issues, but most of mine was caused by 3rd party apps not optimised 100% , work smoothly on Lollipop.
good luck
..............................
post note....
Titanium, i forgot, you might have some minor issues at first. Titanium could not find backup folder on my ext sd same as on Android v4.4.4) , so i used NextApp Sdfix (Play store, free app) Titanium, then was able to locate back ups. Again yesterday, i factory reset my device because of a Nova launcher, toggle notification issue and because i also wanted to for a period of time.
Titanium could not write and above NextApp Sdfix said i had no write premisson after running NextApp. i formatted my ext sd on laptop and NextApp did its work and Titanium working 100%
Just thought to make you aware if issue arrived.
Thanks... I forget all these root features have to be redone. I've also given extsd access on kitkat after rooting. Will have to do it all over again I guess!
Ok just a quick update. Flashed to 5.0.1 with Odin and rooted with CFautoroot. Everything seems to be ok apart from after rooting and rebooting, I got a "could not do normal boot" msg, saying that the phone was in download mode and not to disconnect the target. I pulled the batt and booted up normally ok. Checked in Titanium and found root access ok, activated write to SD and all seems normal.
Things seem a bit sluggish with lollipop, so I uninstalled xposed (which now won't work on this version), greenify and some other apps, and booted into recovery to wipe cache partition. When it was done wiping the cache and said to reboot, I got the same "could not do normal boot" msg. Once again I pulled the battery and it booted ok.
Not sure what has happened or if anything is affected - should I re-flash 5.0 with Odin and re-root all over again?

hi,
i am sure i read somewhere about.re: your remark, when you rooted and got a msg, with
"could not do a normal reboot... I am sure it could be ( @ Chainfire,) Cf autoroot website not sure.?
I would have search for a answer /reason!/ explanation Then i would afterwards, reflash Rom. (depends on you)
Just a quick question.... At what stage did you uninstall Xposed....? before /after flashing etc. i stated before that i found Xposed "broke /caused issues after i uninstalling it. (facts about two or three times it happened , in past )
Also i had no problem in using Greenify again (i have re installed it) its just the donation /paid / experimental package i am a bit hesitant with.
good luck

Hey guys, I have since reflashed and rerooted and now seem to have less problems, although the phone is still sluggish, randomly locking up and restarting , and sometimes restarting to the green android "could not do normal boot" screen.
Question now is, can I boot into stock recovery to do a factory reset? I've done some research but the views seem conflicting. Is this recommended, will I be stuck in a bootloop and will I still be rooted after the reset?
I never did a factory reset when flashing from 4.4 to 5.0.1 so I'm hoping this will fix the issues I've got now.

I rooted my v20 simply for viper4android and to enable the google assistant. Nothing else was done.
Ever since rooting, before even installing v4a, the notifications pull down was lagging when trying to swipe things away (it would leave a blank white space). Now, tons of things lag:
When trying to setup Google Voice
When opening Poweramp
When trying to pause or skip tracks in Spotify
When closing Chrome
The phone will hang; if I pressed a soft menu button, it will stay lit until the phone recovers.
I have factory reset, installed busybox and supersu only and still received the lag.
Is there something I can check or something I missed?

Sorry for reviving a year and a half old thread, but did you find any solution? I am facing the exact same problem. I have one unrooted G5 and rooted V20 and another rooted G5, and the rooted ones lag horribly. Im in the exact same situation as yours, but I have magisk instead of SuperSU installed.

are you still running the ROM that was on the phone, after rooting? if i remember correctly (this was a year n a half ago... memory is **** nowadays.) some folks had problems when not flashing a new ROM after rooting.
maybe try a new ROM flash? .... I'm a nuke-n-pave kinda guy, so this is what i tend to resort to when in doubt.

Thanks for the suggestions. Actually removing CCMD from RCDT tool did help a bit. It went from completely unusable to barely usable. Previously, it occasionally used to pause for about 20 seconds or so. But I still wonder what did LG implement to make the phone this laggy over time. Sure I have an enormous amount of apps installed, but they work just fine on the unrooted G5.
What variant do you have?
Have you tried flashing stock image with an updated kernel? Then update with kdz writer.
Guys after i did something stupid like factory reseting through settings (kept entering into twrp after that) i lguped to stock. Umm hello, is this my V20? I feel like i have a new phone! Previously i struggled with AKT performance profiles and diffenrent kernels but i wasn't happy, it always felt sluggish in some tasks. That is why i tried to f. reset in the first place, to see if it would feel fresh again. Currently i'm fully stock and the phone is flying! Only thing i'm missing is the mod that unlocks the high impedance hi-fi mode. For the time being i'll manage without it, i prefer having a phone that flies! I doubt it was the rctd because all custom kernels afaik include the removal script. Anyway thought i should chime in on this, as this happend a few days ago.
Lg doesn't wants us to have root access, simple as that, after rooting I got issues of lag, heating of phone and green hang screen. I too got a brand new fast flying v20 after flashing it with stock kdz via lgup with no root. So I guess, if factory reset wipe, cache, dalvik doesn't help you with lag issues you better flash it with stock rom for best performance
