[Q] Have root, twrp, stuck in logo loop - Sprint LG G2

Lg g2 ls980, build kot49I.LS980ZVC-kernal 3.4.0 - KK4.4.2 Using twrp 7.3.5
I have no problem backing up or installing ls980 zvc roms but when rebooting it only gets to the logo then reboots. I have searched for solution and I'm sure it's here but I have already bricked one G2 and fear being off one step then bricking again. Thx for any advice.

Which twrp? Should be 2.7.0.1 is latest. How did you install twrp. If you were already on zvc you should have used auto-rec.
Sounds like your bootloader may not be downgraded with proper kennel.

Yeah I did use the Auto rec. I was doing back flips actually when I was finally able to do a nand backup. But about this bootloader thing I don't have a clue. Please give me noob instructional advice I suffered With the LG Esteem and all the pipe dreams of Cm9/10 back then. And really need a new rom fix.
Thx Curster (droid drunky)

I have tried many actually. cm11 regular and the latest nightly, Pacman I'm not sure of them all but I am using the latest twrp and it says install successful so I don't know really.

I'm not sure aosp is compatible yet with zvc. Best to at least get up and running is either super g2, or optimus.
Sounds like mostly aosp builds.
Try one of those stock base first

Thx I will try that then report my findings. Has anyone else had this problem? And I suppose I should start a new thread for this question.... But is the LG G2 LS980 from sprint able to be unlocked and transferred to another carrier?

Actually yes. It is through build prop edits. But in doing so if you mess something up you could be stuck.

Any chance this means we'll see some of its Neato software features ported?
(that is, assuming LG won't at some point do something similar)
You may want to put in big red letters at the top not to flash this on our OG.
I know it says so in post 3... but you know how people read.
Just trying to save you from the inevitable "it bricked my phone" posts.

On my e970 this modem broke external (main speaker) audio. No audible ring tones, and music wouldn't play. In call (ear piece) audio worked, but suffered significant delay/latency... But I was testing by calling my wife in another room in the house, both on our microcell... so not the most reliable testing environment. I was running houstonn's rootbox.

[Q]KK rom for E986?

Hello guys,
i d like to know whats the procedure for flashing a rom on the OGP e986, as i am new to lg devices and cant really find a thread for the e986..
I should inform you that i am pretty familiar with rom/recovery flashing,rooting devices etc.
So,should i flash any rom for the e98x and then flash the right modem for my device?Or should i flash a rom made for my exact model only?
Also,will i have the ir bluster functionality as on stock rom in custom roms?
Thanks for your time and help.
Ok so i succesfully rooted using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2362657 ,and also backed my efs and changed my recovery using FreeGee..So im ready to start flashing roms..Any answers to my previous questions?Thanx

When you launch freegee it automatically downloads supported devices list..If e986 was not supported it would automatically exit..Try for yourself.

Lg g2 boot loop

You will need to use @Savoca 's Furnace kernel with any 4.4 AOSP ROM with the exception of AOSPA as I hear they have the still-to-be-determined fix in there. (Meaning it's fixed but I haven't been able to narrow down yet what specific fix(es) did the trick to add to CM kernel.)

KK custom roms?

Is there a specific reason for the absence of custom roms based on stock KK for the LS980? Or based on other device but made for the LS980...?
Is something in particular holding devs back?
I would really like to try some of the G Pro II ports... or maybe an updated justins rom KK...
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk
Don't quote me on this but I believe it has to do with kernel issues. I'm running stock rooted ZVC but savoca had to make a special file to be able to keep twrp and still load the rom
Sent from my LG-LS980 using xda app-developers app
Its not kernel issues its more of getting a custom recovery on the phone after the kit kat update LG blocked an exploit used to install and use recoveries like TRWP. It gives you a verification issue when you try booting to recovery im pretty sure thats the main reason. Having said that there are ways to get around it but i believe you have to have ubuntu which half the people cant get and the process is so risky many users reported soft bricking and hard bricking their devices and at the moment rooting is about as far as you can go after kit kat our phones basically took on "samsung knox" in LGs form

There are also simpler ways to install twrp but then your kernel breaks and you have to flash something else which eventually breaks twrp so you are stuck at stage 1 all over again

I get all this. But whats the point right now to do all this if there still isnt an actual custom rom to flash...? Besides all this. Is something different that no developer has actually made or released a rom for us... i thought it would just have been a patch for th is phone and hats it. But it seems like theres more to it. Besides the whole recovery thing.

Then do it. Show us your mad dev skillz. Because obviously you know what needs to be done. You don't even need to completely customize the rom. Just port a different one like the ones your interested in.
Or do just part of the work to help the others out. Compile a new kernel so that we don't need to use stock. Release your hack to make it so we don't break download mode when we make it still possible to bypass loki. Get real creative and make the ZVC radio work on Jellybean!
And if you don't feel like doing the actual work to get it working, why don't you get involved in the threads where they are talking about issues, and help out the ones that ARE doing the work. Jump on IRC and give them a heads up on how you fixed it so they can put release it for everyone to use.
And your sig says your on an LG-D801, so nothing here would work for your phone anyway!
Yeah.. i tried once and got stuck at the part to download sources... but thats not hat i mean. Im asking this. Because devs said that once a kernel and sourco came out they would make a patch. Obviously something is different for us that this patch hasn't been possible for us... if it was as simple as they thought it would have been done already.
But i dont think the recovery problems are delaying this. Or are they? Maybe they are to prevent bricks? But ive seen plenty of devs release either way with obvious disclaimers only for advanced users.

You obviously missed my point. The point was, if it was possible with the current state of the phone, there would be at least THREE out by now (stock rooted, Optimus, and d3rp). Since you don't see those 3 released yet, that means that there are other issues. So if you can fix those issues, let the community know how to fix them. If you can't fix the issues, then be patient and realize that all threads like this do is annoy the people that are working hard trying to fix them. Because it comes off as being very ungrateful and demanding of people that are volunteering their time to make things better for everyone. If you can help, do it. If you can't help, be patient.
Update. I memtioned that im on justiins rom, well thats because i use my ls980 for tmobile. Well i decided to flash cloudyproii 1.2 after following the autoboot instuctions specified by the person who uploaded the zvc tot. And saw no harm so i backed up everything and wiped everything and flashed cloudy then flashed s avocas ls980 kernel then autoboot again. Then i had to wipe cache again and it boot up. And its running great. The only thing is i cant currently record at 120fps or 4k.... but this rom is great.
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk
I was really wanting a custom rom, but with the xposed modules and Furnace kernel, i'm getting most of just about all the customization I'd get anyway.
The thing is that with the Sprint rom it is so much hassle to use with gsm. That's why I used Justin's first. And now this cloudyproii. Rom is great.

Justins had nothing to do with it. Its just that cloudyproii doesnt have cdma support so it defaulted to gsm.
I actually flashed the zvc tot to upgrade so i was using sprint, then flashed cloudyproii... i just had to flash an ls980 kernel and then autoboot.

Unlocked bootloader necessary for custom ROM

I am wondering if having the bootloader unlocked is necessary to install a custom ROM?
My g2 (Verizon) never had the bootloader unlocked, and there was a workaround using loki. Is this something that we can expect from the g3(also Verizon)?
for a rom no.... for a rom and KERNEL yes you do..
i wonder if the loki exploit will work on this model too.. Im no dev though

Expanding on that, on the g2 it was necessary to keep the version 10d bootloader if you updated to anything higher. I was running kit kat with the jellybean bootloader. I don't really know how to do it. It was included with autorec's install of twrp recovery.
Since the first versions of g3 software have bootloader patched for loki, there is nothing to revert back to.
