Sorta-bricked OG - LG Optimus G (International)

Help! My phone got soft bricked the other day and I flashed a .kdz different to the actual stock rom. The phone worked fine. I rooted, unlocked the boot loader and flashed a custom recovery then I flashed the liquidsmooth 4.3.1 rom and there was no wifi or mobile network. I also lost the CWM backup I made of the non-stock .kdz. Please help I have to use an awful iPhone 3GS...

Wi-Fi and network problems are not a reason to say your phone is bricked.
First try something to see if it fixes.
The network "problem" should be resolved if you choose the mobile network manual.
About Wifi that as to do with modules but it should work when you install a fresh rom.
Try to use other recovery(twrp) because cwm is having some trouble.

what am I doing wrong?

I tried to install that paranoid android rom.I keep getting an error 7. it says no target device found. I've tried 1.9 .4, 1.9 .5, 1.9.6 and now 1.9 .7. It looks like an awesome rom but I can't install it. I get the same error with the cm 10. Presently I'm running the vicious ROM (jellybean). I wipe everything before trying to install the ROM but nothing works. I can install the maguro version with no problems other than I don't have phone service. I want this ROM bad and need some guidance.
Mr. Keith
How are you trying to flash the ROM? In recovery?

Yes, clockwork mod. I've also tried to manually do it in recovery, still get the status 7 error. I tried the supersu mod, no success. I have the Verizon gnex. This is week 2 of failed attempts. Do I have to start with a stock rom first?
Hope you are getting roms from Verizon thread not i9250

This.
The reason why you didn't have service with a maguro ROM is because that is for the gsm version.
You want the toro builds. Hopefully you can get your radio back.
if not you'll have to flash the stock Google image.

If you mean status 7 error, I have that with my Vibrant and have to change to a different version of clockworkmod. Try flashing an older version of CWM in fastboot.

This is likely the OP's issue. There are just too many incompatibilities with the newer recoveries. If you stick with 5.5.0.2 (for maguro), and 5.5.0.4 (for toro), you will see that you will have significantly less issues...
I have a Verizon galaxy nexus with paranoid rom all you do is go back to stick ics and use recovery to flash and it might get stuck in boot screen just take out battery and put back in and should just start up

Sucess!!
Thank you, thank you, all of you. I finally installed the rom last night and its truly awesome. I didn't know that rom manager allows you to revert to older cwm versions. That did the trick. I now have some catching up to do.
Thanks again,
Mr. Keith

Can't connect to LTE on Cm10.1

I have the at&t e980.
Ever since I went to a AOSP ROM I do not have LTE.
I have the correct APN, I have LTE enabled in my toggles.
I just installed the 9/7 build of cm10.1, and tried to flash the e980 modem from the CM10.1 OP, and got stuck in a bootloop.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Try the PTA one, i had to use that APN to get LTE going on my E980 as well. both on cm10.1 roms and stock debloated rom.
weird you got stuck in a bootloop? ive flashed the modem many times with no issues. try and download the modem from the original TOT post and flash that one instead. thats the one that ive flashed and its worked every time.
also what recovery are you using? ive had heaps of issues with TWRP and switched to CWM and have had a lot less issues.

PA 3.99 Not Working on TMo Note 2 Help!

I am able to flash the rom successfully using CWM Recovery, but when the Rom starts up, it does not recognize any network or mobile data. I have flashed back to stock TW Rom, and it all works fine. I would love to give this rom a shot, but I would rather be able to use my phone. Please let me know how to get service and mobile data using this rom on my TMo SGH-T889 (Galaxy Note II). Thanks!

As far as i've seen from other posts, some versions of CWM cause issues with the baseband when flashing ROMs
TWRP does not have this issue.

After installing TWRP on my TMo Note 2, I flashed PA 3.99 + GApps and it seems like everything is working fine. I have data and phone connectivity!
Since Paranoid Android was not working with CWM, does that mean that there might be certain ROMs that will not work with TWRP?

I've not heard of any problems with TWRP (that does not mean they don't exist), also the issue with CWM only seemed to appear after a certain update (can't recall the number). Older version work without issue.
So I guess I spoke a little too soon. I was able to get data and cell connectivity, but it only lasted a couple hours and then disconnected. Any idea what is happening?

Boot Loop after trying to Flash Cyanogenmod 11 through AutoRec?

Hello,
I am very new to rooting, and just rooted my Sprint LG G2 with 4.4.2 KitKat through IORoot 25 and then used AutoRec as my TWRP. I then downloaded Cyanogenmod11 from its website onto my phone, and tried to flash install it through AutoRec. However, when I try to install the CM11 ROM, I get the "MD5 not found" message, and when I try to reboot after this, my phone goes into what I think is Bootloop (the LG home screen continuously turns on for a couple seconds, then stops for a split second, and then turns back on for a couple seconds). Fortunately, I am was able to hard restart my phone by holding Power and Volume Up together while this screen is on, and I was able to restore my phone with the backup I made, and my phone is now working fine with the stock ROM. Has anyone else had this problem before, and if so is there a better way for my to install custom ROM, and/or fix that MD5 message? Does anyone know what that MD5 message means?
One other note, I have been doing some reading and I currently have ZVC radio. I'm not sure what this means exactly, but would this make a difference?
Thanks!

Interesting, thanks. Are there any ROMs that work for 4.4.2 that people have been using, or am I pretty much stuck with the stock ROM until CM is updated?
Cloudyfa has some in the G2 android development forum. There are some others that will work with sprint.

Latest Modem and Kernel from COH4 update

Since I didn't see anyone pull the modem and kernel from the last stagefright update in Sept., thought I'd do it for the few of us that still have this old device.

Yeah, but you need to be on a stock ROM to get the OTA, or you can download the whole ROM from sammobile.com. It's a security fix for stagefright. I just wanted to try the new modem and see if it made any difference. I won't be able to test the kernel, since I switch back and forth between a 4.4.4 TW ROM and 5.1 CM ROM.
Appreciate the info, have you notice better signal with the new radio?

Maybe a little better signal (?), but basically the same. Haven't been on it real long, I'll have to see if the standby improves after I've been on it a while.

Are you dual booting? Is it possible?
Warning, don't flash this modem. I did and it killed my baseband. I tried flashing 3 other roms which wouldn't even finish booting to my phone before I finally realized it and flashed my original modem back and all was working again.

Working fine on mine. Did you maybe get a bad download? You could maybe try downloading again?
Which modem did you go back to?
Flashed fine and so far no issues. Previous user might have a bad download or different device.
Flashed via TWRP today.. I had no service after reboot but did another restart and it was working.
Don't know if its any better than the previous modem version but will give it a try. thx
Working great here no issues

You caused the problem when you altered the stock ROM. From your thread about it here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-tmobile/help/recent-tmo-ota-update-bricked-wifes-t3245890), you said "Had her note 2 with stock 4.3, Rooted it last year to titanium backup and uninstall a couple bloatware apps. " This is what caused your problem. It was no longer a stock ROM when you remove apps. I know it doesn't seem like it would be a big deal, but it is, and you found out unfortunately

That's kinda what I was thinking had happened.
I suppose I shouldn't blame the OTA. I just noticed someone else had issues with it too.
so to the people that actually flashed this new modem and kernel, is it working better than previous iterations?
question:
I flashed the C0H4 modem on note 2 (nameless lollipop rom) seems ok...
DO I have to also flash the Kernel ? is there an advantage to flashing the kernel? thx
Hello! Thanks for this! I flashed this over TWRP 2.8.7.1, and wiping my dalvik cache. My phone's originally T889UVALK8 (16gb SGH-T889 t0ltetmo) and the signal drops but after flashing this (C0H4) the signal greatly improved, although I'm having some signal instability since I'm supposed to have full bars because my house is just in line of sight, 2km from the tower. Also I think I'll do a clean install of another custom ROM since I'm using the CM12.1 t0lte nightly, and maybe this affects my signal (I know I'm stupid for doing it but it works).
Welp. After rebooting, the phone lost signal again. I have to do a wipe of dalvik cache to restore my signal. I guess I'll try using another ROM instead.
Upodate: I may be experiencing hardware issues. I have yet to flash back to stock since my phone's signal drops. I can't flash the firmware because it says 'zip signature verification failed.'
