E971 update V20D? - LG Optimus G (International)

Hi all,
I just noticed that there seems to be an update for the Rogers version of the Optimus G...seems to be named V20D. Any thoughts? I can't seem to update to it (get an error) and I've tried un-rooting as well as re-locking, and still get "Err: 0x13e"
Any helpful suggestions are appreciated!

Tried KDZ back to stock and upgrade or perhaps KDZ install it directly if you can get it?

Thanks, that does indeed work (KDZ to stock then upgrade), but I was hoping to preserve current settings if possible...any other suggestions?

update:
Although root is lost and bootloader is back to stock, it seems flashing the 1GB KDZ over top my current settings works and almost everything seems fine so far.

I've been trying to find a change log for this update but have been unsuccessful. Anyone?

nope, i couldn't find one either. the only thing i noticed other than the software version change is that under "About phone" there is now a "Regulatory and Safety" section.

I was only rooted and it seems to have kept root after the update. Still don't know what it changed besides the about section

To me, it seems as if standby battery life has improved.

Flashing was successful, but my phone no longer reads my sim.
So I went back to stock by following the guide here:

Again it was successful but my phone does not read my sim anymore.
I tried different working sim, same problem
Tried reflashing. same thing.
Also I noticed it does not show my phone IMEI under phone identity.
Can anyone help me how to fix this, or point me to a guide I could follow?

Any luck in fixing this problem? I'm having the same issue after trying to install Update v5 with Knock On. I tried installing the basebands but most of them will give Service Disabled with Unknown IMEI. But the E988_HK_Final baseband shows the IMEI and Phone Number but has No Service though or very weak signal. Also, it seems like the QRemote also stops working in my case.
Please flash LG F240L Rom (KDZ File), It will work,

It looks like your EFS partition is corrupted. Did you back it up through Freegee before installing the custom ROM?

I had this happen to me with an e980 out of the box. I ordered it online, and was in the process of adding my apps and customization without ever rooting it or doing anything outside of warranty and all of a sudden I got "Insert a valid sim card". Just happened out of the blue and I only had that phone for 12 hours. It is some rare hardware issue that AT&T couldn't figure out either. I believe it is the sim slot that is malfunctioning because in mine it wouldn't recognize any sim card but my sim cards worked in other phones.
If you have a contract phone, undo root, flash the stock rom, factory reset and call tech support. They replaced mine for free because it was determined to be a hardware issue. Good luck.:silly:

No Knock-ON?

Hello everybody,
I had on my LS980 device the cloudyg3 rom and i wanted to go back stock.
So i flashed the firmware and all is good except for one problem: I've got no knock-on (knock-off works great tho), and i understood that's happening because the g3 rom is changing the touch firmware.
When i'm going to the hidden menu i don't have the update touch firmware and if i update to the ZVD build it's all working - but the battery is sucks on this build.
What can i do to fix this WITHOUT going to the ZVD build? Currently on 4.4.2 (ZVC, LS980)
Thanks

I have a similar problem. Had received an update two weeks ago and forgot no to accept it since I was rooted and modded and of course, soft bricked my phone in recovery mode. So I was able to re-install the latest stock software and re root and mod it but in the process lost the knock on feature.
Its been a pain ever since. In my opinion the knock ON and OFF features are the best and most useful option since sliced bread. ITs a damn pain not having it

tbh the latest update from sprint fixes this prob... but it has terrible batterylife so i had to go back one build
I fixed it by flashing SuperG2 ROM, then flashing the HiddenMenu.apk found on that same thread in the OP. After that, I had the hidden menu which I used to update the touch firmware. Then I tot back to ZVC and everything works again

[Q] 10j firmware impressions thread

Hey guys.
Yesterday I installed leaked 10j firmware and I am really impressed how it works. It feels much more fluid and responsive, but I am not sure if it is because of fresh install or it really is that better.
Could you share your impressions about this version? What key differences do you see?
If you haven't installed it yet here is the dl link: https://mega.co.nz/#!wFZnnToR!24jSLOsVvFnBspQr7wO5sH1fWwDKG1j6SMh3v2MWTOo
passwords is lgbbs
Now I feel like my G3 runs how it should since day one

They disabled the adaptive lcd refresh and set it to a fixed 60fps so that's why it's more fluid and responsive
Battery life is good so far for me (after deleting robird which was hammering the battery)
Yeah. I also read about it. Lets see how battery acts after few days.
After 3 days of use, the battery life is so far the best on G3 for me!
On every update (kinda) ppl say "no more lag". Guess im the only one who cant see a difference at all.
anybody notice any signal reception improvement in 10j ? there was some reports regarding 10i... i just wonder if 10j is the same? cheers

Just a question, how does installing these updates go if we've rooted and spent hours tweaking little things like app icons and status bars? I'm interested in the updates, but will we receive them OTA or do they have to be manually, and if installed will they remove anything? I've read that you can manually disable OTA but I've also read that when rooting it automatically removes that ability. So I'm confused on the topic. Sorry for the silly question.

As 10j is a test version, you would have to install it by using a tool with a computer and it is safer to do that with a clear installation, i.e., without maintaing your configurations.
Of course there are backup and restore tools you can use. But even with those some rework can be necessary.

First, off if you are Rooted = You will not receive OTA's. These downloads are TOT files unless otherwise noted, if otherwise noted they would be KDZ files. With TOT files you will need to use LGFlashTool to install it. As a general note download the TOT and extract it-> also find a copy of the dll file for your device and load both into LGFlashTools and run it. Device in download mode, plug and run (I'm sure you know steps...) Just remember that basically, by Rooting your device you have disabled OTA's, if you want to reset your device just do a Factory Data Reset. Also, if you're interested in searching for Firmware, I put together this thread which I hope it helps; http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/firmware-updates-available-to-download-t2844227 .
The version in download link is for 32G or 16G?
Thanks.
I am using it with 32 version.
Is this ota international update?

It is a leaked version, not an official OTA.
Probably some carrier version since I had 2 apps from them.
Oooo, thx I did not realize.[emoji1]

As long as you didn't unlock your bootloader which isn't even possible yet you will receive OTA updates. With the last two updates even root has remained. As long you didn't change your recovery you will even be able to install the OTA updates.
noob question: this can't be used on the tmobile G3, right?
It is for 855 version which is interntional.
Hey, I have the F400S and I just got the update, it updated to 10k, is this the latest for my g3?
Did anybody install it in a D855 16Gb version? Does this same Rom fit in both versions?
Ok. I was using 10F , and it terrible , it was lag, slow. Upgraded to 10J yesterday and this is the best rom so far. Smooth, fast and look like better battery life.

Not sure which firmware versions I can install on my G4

I wonder if someone nice can help me understand a little better re what version's of firmware I can install on my G4
My G4 is Model LG-H815 I noticed the box has TWN on it so it most likely came from Taiwan (I purchased it on ebay from Kogan) and I am in Australia on Telstra network.
Is mine classed as the international version then?
It came with V10b-TWN-XX installed on it.
After reading another thread I yesterday flashed it using version from Poland 10D H81510.kdz using the KDZ flash LG Flash Tool 2014 method
It is running fine on the above and doing that flash removed the Chinese keyboard and stuff so that was good.
I noticed after checking I am still vulnerable to the Stagefright issue so would like to find a newer rom that has this issue fixed if possible.
I am confused about all the versions of ROM's going around and was hoping someone could give me an overview of the various one and pros and cons against using them on my particular G4.
I dont mind doing a complete reinstall so keeping current data isn't important.
I would also like to root the rom (mainly so I can adjust the DPI) So some help on rooting the latest ROM would also be appreciated.
Thanks for your help.

I don't know for sure, but you could try cyanogenmod, it should have a working installerar that helps you (depends on if they made the installer for your devices)

If your model in the model report is H815, then you are safe to flash the unbranded European kdz. As I have said in other topics, as long as it's not H815T, or H815P or whatever, then it's fine to flash EU kdz on it.

So whats the latest version rom out at the moment I could use and how do I root after flashing it?
Many thanks for your help.

The latest version that I know of is the European Open 10E.
After you flash that one using the kdz flashing method, you can check around for the rooted 10e img and flash it using low effort root method.

OK all done - all working fine..
One small issue one of the apps I use "Netatmo" will no longer install "This item is not compatible with your system" error when trying to install from the G4 or via GooglePlay on PC..
Must be some sort of region thing perhaps?
And I get "Warning current version is not avalible for user ....." error on boot up.
Any idea how to get around that?
Thanks again.
AFAIK no way to get rid of that, but it doesn't affect any usability of the phone, so I just learn to ignore it.

Yes there is a way to get rid of it, as long as you have root. I don't know the specifics but I read it in one of the threads. Just search the error I'm sure you'll find it.

Modem not working after going back to MM?

Hey,
I'm on 6.0 and i cannot seem to get the modem to work on my phone.
Is it because i was on rooted 5.1 before that, and root loses modem?
But i upgraded to 6.0 and that loses root, but mobile data still doesn't work.
Does anyone have a fix for this?

You haven't provided very much information.
I'm presuming you used LGUP-NEW and upgraded straight to 6.0 without first refurbishing with a stock 5.1 (i.e., an unrooted stock version for your specific country/carrier), before upgrading to 6.0? If so, that may be where the problem arose.
You could try a factory reset with what you have installed - not sure it will solve, but worth a try.
The next thing I would suggest is refurbishing with the appropriate stock 5.1 for your country/carrier - confirm that the modem and mobile data is working before then upgrading with the appropriate 6.0 stock kdz.

That's what I suspected.
Unfortunately, when you have used the root injection method on an H812, the interaction with SuperSU is not straightforward nor fully understood (refer to the thread at https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/reverse-engineering-lg-g4-root-t3628778 where steadfaster X, ReeS86 and I explored this issue in part). If you re-read the root injection thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586), you will note that the suggested way to lose root is to refurbish first with the stock 5.1 kdz you used in the first place with LGUP-NEW, then upgrade to 6.0 with it.
Back up your data fully and using LGUP-NEW, refurbish with the 5.1 stock KDZ you used in the first place and see if you regain your modem and mobile data - if you do, then upgrade to 6.0.

The first thing to do is:
Go into settings and check your baseband version. If it's unknown thats likely the reason for your issues and normally can be solved by wiping the modemst1 and modemst2 partitions.
Then please explain exactly what is working and what not. You say your "modem" is not working but this is not much information:
Do you have an issue to get cell service?
Do you have an issue to get mobile data/internet?
Do you have an issue to get specific mobile data/internet speeds(i.e. LTE, 3G,...)?

Ok good. So this seems to be an apn issue then. The modem works fine when you get cell service and if you can call and the other site can hear you and vice versa.
There is a section in the hidden menu (check http://tinyurl.com/antirollg4 at the top you find the how-to get in) where you can reset the APNs which may help out here.
Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA Labs
You can reset your apn in the H812 by going to Settings > Mobile data > touch on the 3 dot menu at the top right of the screen there > touch on Mobile networks > touch on Access point names > touch on the 3 dot menu at the top right of the screen > touch on Reset to default.
If that doesn't help you could delete and add the appropriate data for Koodo in New APN on the same last menu pop-up screen.
