Hey everyone,
Greetings from Jamaica!
I've had my e980 OGP for about 2 months now
When I got it, it was running the 10p firmware. After a while, I realized that i'm having random mobile network drops, sometimes I get a good signal, sometimes I don't, sometimes it goes and comes. I was advised to flash a custom rom, I rooted using the VROOT method, installed freegee from the play store and flashed cwm. I then flashed cm11. When I flashed cm11, it worked perfectly! after about 5-10 mins of first-time-use setting up, it froze, then started rebooting, after that it randomly rebooted constantly for the remainder of that day. after trying various custom roms, I decided to flash back to stock, but I flashed the kit kat stock firmware using the Flash Tool and the TOT file. Once v20g was up and running, the reboots stopped, but the signal issues came back, I'm clueless as to what would cause my issue, but I'm confident I can get some answers from the geniuses here, so plz, help a brotha out?
Any help? :fingers-crossed:
YOu could try changing the modem/baseband, there are a few floating around that you could flash.

Ok Thanks much. Is there a possible diagnosis for the random reboots in cm11? maybe a custom kernel could fix, or is there a flashable version of the e98020g kernel that I could flash on cm11 to make it... stop rebooting I guess? I'm kinda noob with this phone

Dunno, i don't use AOSP based roms, prefer the stock look.
Any fixes?
I realize that no matter which custom rom I try, I still end up with random reboots. @madmack is there anything that could be done to stop the reboots? I tried flashing that stock kernel you made for kitkat onto PacMan but i'm stuck at the LG Logo. Any help? Please?:crying::crying::crying:

When you install custom roms, do you make a complete wipe of your system,including factory reset?

Using CWM, I wipe data/factory reset + Wipe Cache + Wipe Dalvic Cache
Use hacked twrp and make sure you wipe it clean ..completely clean. Install ROM .. Gapps.. And boot up ... Run build m8 or m9 cm.... But I run stock kk due to deep sleep issues for a lot of our Roms... Some get deep sleep and some don't ... But stock kk is where its at for me

Since day one I had this , well..., phone, I had signal drops to-noservices.
AT&T and rogers, I barely use this phone, since I had it, only problems.
To double-down on what Shayne said, wipe SYSTEM as well, when jumping between AOSP/LG sources or JB and KK. Have you altered preferred network or APN at all? Leaving the defaults delivers the best stability if you're on AT&T. Finally, if you click settings--> mobile data --> menu, there are background data/auto-sync data options buried in there.

Ok, Thanks for the tips, I just flashed the most recent CM11 release using all the directions I got here so hopefully it works. I'm in Jamaica and so I dont have access to AT&T lol. CM11 gives perfect stability as it relates to mobile network tho...
[EDIT] I still get random reboots, apparently less frequent tho

I have downloaded the G2 V3 update.zip to my phone and have tried installing the zip via CWM. I followed instructions stating factory default first, then flash the update.zip, install the SU add-on 1, then factory default. When I reboot my phone I get the LG boot screen, afterwards my indicator lights both flash on, my phone vibrates and the backlight stays on but I get a blank screen. I left it like this for 20 minutes but it never continues. I have tried rebooting but it does the same thing. I have loaded my previous CM 10.2 Rom since. Tried repeating this process, get same results. Adding to this, when I load the add-on it does say there was a problem with Loki at the end.
Please help.
Are you coming from stock or were you on CM?
I always return to stock before changing roms,, I've heard of people having trouble going from CM to V3....

Always wipe system, cache and dalvik-cache before flashing. I'd also suggest wiping the internal sd card as well. Always gives me the best results. I've jumped from ROM to ROM this way with no problems. :3

Yup, that is the issue. Those ROMs do not have stock kernel bundled and hence they do not boot when you come from CM or Carbon or Vanir to V3.
You have to go back to stock and then flash that.
Or there might be another way which might work and will spare you hassles of going back to stock and rerooting. Give it a go.
1. Download this kernel : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363330
This kernel is for stock based ROMs.
2. Install V3 by following the procedure. After second factory reset, before rebooting, flash this kernel. And then reboot.
See if that is successful. It should be. (it will still take 4-5 minutes for first boot )
If not , you can always go back to CM and then go through whole going back to stock thing.
Got The thing to work by flashing the CWM recovery files in three parts. Then updated to V4 and SU. The only thing I can't seem to get working is the wireless reefer devices can connect but the receive no data.

Ever since I updated to 4.3 I have never been able to properly reboot my phone. When I reboot its stays on the splash screen after the samsung logo and doesnt move. I have to go into TWRP and wipe everything completely restore data , rom ,Gapps. I have to do this every single time I reboot. I never had these problems on 4.2.x roms or anything. Any fixes for this? Anyone experience anything similar :crying:

Right now im on the quantum v2.20. This problem happens with any 4.3 rom though Tasks,PA,Liquid smooth they all give me this error. Tried wiping the phone over and over nothing. I even installed clean without restoring data or anything and can never reboot properly. In order to reboot properly I have to go back wipe memory, factory reset, wipe everything else and install Rom again.

Well, from what it sounds it could be the recovery, so make sure that it is the latest version and also make sure that your bootloader is updated to one from the 4.1.2 OTA update. There's a post on the Quantum thread about how to update your bootloader (something necessary to flash any 4.3 rom). Just please make sure to read a lot BEFORE flashing so you don't end up with a paperweight. I assume your on AT&T, correct? If this is the case and your phone is a SGH-I747, the update should go fine. If this doesn't work, I would try asking super nicely on the official thread and explain everything with as much deatil as possible, and they'll be able to help you, since it's not one of those threads that get furious at asking questions in the dev thread. Hope this helps.

or you can go back to 4.1.2 which is mostly stable and works fine with no issues or problems compared to 4.2.2 or 4.3 AOSP/CM Roms
I'm having the same issue, but for me my phone gets soft bricked and I have to reformat internal storage for anything to work. I bought my phone with 4.1.2 already installed, and my recovery is twrp 2.6.30, which is the latest one

So, first off, just wanna say that I have a RIDICULOUS amount of experience with flashing roms. Literally over 100 different devices and 1000s of different flashes of my own devices on top of it. Quite familiar with this S2 as well and have customized them to all sorts of extents, but this one has me baffled. This phone refuses to run 4.2.2/4.3/4.4.x roms. Using the most up to date radio and the suggested TWRP (2.6.1.0) as well as CWM 6.0.44 and the newer TWRP: 2.6.3.0. Every time the phone will get to the set up screen, refreeze and boot. No issues running stock or stock based 4.1.2 roms. I've tried changing recoveries, wiping everything (/system, /data, /caches) repeatedly, Odin back to stock and redoing everything, switching kernels, wiping caches before rebooting and leaving it be, changing batteries, etc but nothing has worked. So far I've tried BlackLiquid 2.92 (4.2.2 stable), Awesome Audio rom (4.3), official CM11 (whatever the last build up was last night), and BeanStalk 4.4.2 (12/16) and all behave exactly the same - freeze on start up and reboot. This doesn't seem to be much of a widespread issue obviously, so just baffled and getting a bit frustrated as this should have been a 20 minute process that has turned into a few hours already. Since USB Debugging isn't on by default on newer roms, how would I even do a logcat to see if there is anything meaningful there? Any ideas?
Update: I have another S2. Performed same steps, same TWRP, same radio and rom, on same external SD card and that one booted right up like normal confirming that it is the phone itself, but what causes that?? Corrupted partitions?
I have the same problem, just format your internal and external sd card with just ROM file on your storage then try to install, than please inform me

Nope. No luck there (only tried Beanstalk so far, but exact same issue). Thanks for the suggestion though! Only using internal storage, no SD card, though thinking I might try that next...
Edit: Just to be thorough, I formatted internal storage via TWRP and my computer then readded the files and just tried to boot rom only and freezes before I can do anything.
Do you by chance have a refurbished s2?
The screen has been replaced by a friend of mine and he managed to mess up the soft keys with it, but everything else functions. That's actually why he sent it to me, so I could hook him up with Pie and all that kind of thing so the soft keys aren't an issue. What's your thoughts on the refurb side of it?

ok lets stat it with this
1) download both the scripts of infamous wipe cache and infamous super wipe.
2) format your both SD card with PC (FAT32)
2) put both these wipe files and and your rom file ( i prefer try slimbean rom first)
3) Now in twrp 2.6.0.0- follow the steps
i) format your phone with twrp options
ii) again format your phone with infamous super file. (by going in to INSTALL ZIP file option in TWRP)
iii) than format with infamouse cache file (by going in to INSTALL ZIP file option in TWRP)
iv) install your rom and compatiable GAPPS zip file.
v) after installing or somewhere between procedure if twrp says something about supersu birnaries are not correct than click on DO . NOT FIX
vi) again format infamouse cache wipe.
vii) now FINALLY reboot the rom.
it should work, and it worked for me. if u sucessfully run the rom than you can eailsy run all the AOSP roms in this forum. Again If you try this please do tell me what happend.
Followed to a "T" and still in the same boat - freezes after bootup. I used those same steps before with another darkside wipe script (maybe older?) but yea, have already been down that road. I did downgrade to 2.6.0.0 and used Slim 4.3 because 4.4 is supposed to use the newer TWRP, just to be certain, but GRRR. I guess we're just gonna have to settle for a 4.1.2 rom and call it a day. :/
So here are the log output from the wipes:

I see some stuff at the bottom of those that might indicate something weird, but I am not adept at interpreting these, so just wondering if someone could point me to the right direction about the repair checks and what not listed on these. Thanks!
Edit 2: I did get a AOSP based 4.1.2 rom to boot with no problems! wtf... LoL
Last Edit:
Problem solved! I used basically the same steps I had been doing but once the AOSP 4.1.2 rom booted then now everything works like it should again. Have loaded a 4.3 and 4.4 rom successfully. Thanks for the help!

Interesting, so you're saying it's phone specific?
That begs to ask other questions now:
1. Where did this phone come from? is it a Tmobile version (SGH-T989) or AT&T (i-1900)?
2. You mentioned you got it from a friend; did it come rooted? unlocked? Or did you have to do that process yourself?

Yep, very much phone specific. Used same recovery, same rom zip and gapps off the same external SD card, to be certain. That one updated just like every other S2 I've done. And it's the Tmo version. The At&t models are i777 S2 or i727 S2 Skyrocket. The i9100 is international and has a physical home button. But the phone was not modified at all. No root, custom recovery, etc. I was only able to resolve it by first starting with an AOSP 4.1.2 rom and working my way up to 4.4. One of the weirder issues I've come across.

Sorry, I don't pay attention to the notifications on XDA very often. I don't usually browse the S2 forums unless needed because I have an N5, but anyway... The 4.1.2 rom you used, was it TW or AOSP type? I used 2.6.0 to wipe everything, then used cache and superwipe zips then 4.1.2 AOSP type rom then cache wipe zip again then after that booted, I was able to go back to 2.6.1 and flash a 4.3 via wiping, wipe zips, installing rom then cache wipe again. After that, repeated with a KK rom and now it loads roms just like it should. If you want more precise help, feel free to hit me up on Hangouts with my username: es0tericcha0s. Good luck! I know how frustrating it can be when it gets a little out of whack like this...
I'm in the same boat
Same here. I just bought a galaxy s2 from my friend (tmobile version) and I too get stuck in a bootloop no matter what rom I use. It boots up freezes then reboots 7 keeps doing that endelessly. I've even wiped using twrp & darkside then reflashed the stock rom in odin, but no luck. strangely it only happens on the cellular network, otherwise it works fine on wifi. But when I turn off the wifi and go to the cellular network I can't even turn on the wifi anymore and still stuck in this boot loop It's wierd and frustrating.

Hmm. That's interesting... This is happening on the stock rom - where you turn on cellular data and it reboots? Definitely a different issue than the one I was having. Which stock rom were you flashing via Odin? Have you tried other versions of the stock rom and had the same problem?

I just started working on a VZW S3 on T-Mobile service that has this issue. Happens on stock VZW 4.1.2, stock T-Mobile 4.1.2 rom, custom 4.1.2 T-Mobile rom, and stable CM 10.2. Weirdest thing... full wipes including /system inbetween each flash. Changed the modem too. Nothing helps. Pretty sure it's a bad board at this stage.
Cool beans, 0! Having this exact problem, will try your method for my s2, btw which aosp 4.1.2 did u use? Can I get a link? Thanks been having the problem for a few months now and just gave up haha, been super thirsty for that beanstalk kk build
One last thing can u also provide a link to the 4.3 that u used? I really want it to work and want to follow what u did to the , megabyte
Relatively inexperienced with flashing ROMs and what not, but since switching to the LG Optimus G, flashing has been really simple. I have been running into a few problems though. No matter which ROM I choose, I can't seem to get my data connection to work. I've tried flashing various zips that claim to fix it, but so far no luck.
Currently running CM11 with TWRP
Any help would be appreciated.

Make a back up of your rom via recovery
Flash stock ZVC ROM, update PRL & Profile, Wipe data/system/cache/dalvik and restore 4.4.4
data should be restored.

No. The ROM itself is all you need. I'm not sure why it's stuck at boot. Try wiping cache, dalvik, and data. It should just boot. How long did you wait? It might take awhile. Possibly 5ish but no more than 10 minutes to boot.

What changed that caused it to work? I am glad you got it, I am just curious how the process came together.
I'm thinking forgot to wipe /system.
Not sure what I did different to make it boot into stock, but I made a back up, (Boot, System, Data, and Cache), flashed stock, booted, updated profile and PRL, wiped (Dalvik System, Data, and Cache) reinstalled back up and still no 4G, am I missing something or doing something wrong?

So I almost fixed it, I did the whole flashing back to stock thing with no luck. I did a clean flash of the latest cm11 Nightly, then also flashed the file found here
https://help.ting.com/entries/23423026-Flashable-Zip-Fixed-LTE-eHRPD-for-CyanogenMod
I figured maybe the problem was due to me being on Ting. So far I can get it to say I am on LTE, but any data connection I am receiving is painfully slow to the point where it is completely useless.
Any suggestions?

I am also on ting, and the only way I have been able to get my LTE to be consistent it to manually enter in the APN settings. I have tried to flash that same file, but I don't get LTE.

How would I go about manually putting in the APN settings? Is there a tutorial somewhere?
Also, is the unreliable LTE causeing my mms to not work? Or is that a separate problem all together?
I use this program to change my APN
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.appando.app.changeApn
This is what my APN is
Name=Sprint
APN=n.t8.ispsn
MMSC=http://mms.plspictures.com
MMS proxy=68.28.31.7
MMS port=80
MCC=310
MNC=120
APN type=default,mms
APN protocol=IPv4
APN roaming protocol=IPv4
You might to try and run a stock ROM and update your prl and profile.

So I took all precautions and still ended up with an unresponsive fingerprint scanner do to I'm assuming a ROM flash. Damn. Wiped everything and restored stock backup to no avail. Losing the scanner stinks but what's worse is now I'm experiencing huge lag on stock keyboard and even Google keyboard along with occasional lag throughout the system. Anyone know how to remedy this?

Out of curiosity what ROM did you flash?
Here is a recommendations: Power off the phone, enter TWRP, wipe cache, wipe data, wipe delvik, do a factory reset and flash your backup. Power off the phone, pull battery and let it sit for about 30 seconds. Put the battery back in and boot. See if that works.

I initially flashed Definitive 1.1 since I'm still on old stuff but that was fine..then I tried flashing an unofficial CM12 that I got to boot up but no data even with Verizon Rils. But I think what killed it was Infamous for n910t. After that it was unresponsive with error dialogue box pop-up. I'll try the exact method you mentioned and respond back. I have completely wiped and restored stock through twrp but no Odin yet since my friends WiFi connection is ridiculous at like 150kbps.
No luck. Tried it 3 times.

If I remember correctly CM has its own kernel. Try flashing the stock Note 4 kernel. You can find the stock kernel in the firmware thread under Android Development.

I'm on stock kernel as we speak.
If all else fails, you can flash stock system, modem and kernel found in the Android Development section. That gives you a clean start. Then ODIN TWRP and flash SuperSU. If you do that just make sure you use the files designated for the Developer Edition.

You think that would help? From what I've found so far the only thing that could potentially help would be a complete fresh stock Odin flash INCLUDING a bootloader but we don't have a flashable bootloader for DE.
I don't think you have a bootloader problem, I think you have a system issue or a kernel issue. If you're backup doesn't make things better then the only answer I have is to flash a stock (clean) system firmware and kernel which is available. Then re flash recovery and root. By the way, I wouldn't flash anything that had not been tested and passed for the Note 4, the Verizon Note 4. Just a recommendation.
