New to this website(not flashing), I just wanted to make sure I was on track, ive had this sprint g2 for a few days now and while trying to flash a couple of 4.4.4 roms I got stuck on boot screen as well as a bootloop but managed to always get it back. Recently, I flashed the Cloudy G3 2.0 rom and so far is the only one I got to load. Im fine with using stock android but my main concern is getting a service to work(have yet to get another sim so cant test right now, would rather KNOW it would work once I buy it). I see you recommend using Cloudy G3 and I wanted to know which version was best, right now I just have the 2.0 rom installed with no data with instead of saying Sprint it doesn't detect the sim and says roaming indicator off. I would like to just be able to use T-Mobile or straight talk for talk,txt, and web(not much web, Comcast business class wifi ). Am I at least half-way there b/c every post I read about unlocking is helpful and all but requires stock rom or flashing another and I just wanted to stick with cloudy and get it up and running, just didn't know if I was on the right track, any advice?

I have two questions:
1) It unlocks CDMA, GSM or both?
2) Does it work with carriers outside US?
Thanks in advance.

1) CloudyFa says its for GSM.
2) Yes, it does work very well with carriers outside US. Myself used it at various countries outside US.
Thanks.

I'm confused...... either this doesn't work or no one here on the Sprint variant cares to sim unlock their device, or is this a repost in which someone else posted how to unlock and I just must have missed it? I only ask because no comments, thank you's...which I understand that part since most people on xda are unfortunately ungrateful in terms of having enough respect to thank the individual who helped them, or took time out of their lives to make something and share it.... but no confirmations that it does indeed work..... guess I'll just have to go ahead and try it out then.

so does this work? i have a sprint g2 that i just got. I have to fix the busted screen then i want to unlock it for tmobile. thanks!

I'll let you know in about 15 mins. What your screen is cracked? I thought my phone was broken because the screen was all black and would not turn on and I read every thread and no one seemed to know how to fix. Only solution I found was to send it in. But then I just took phone apart and unplugged the battery a day boom it turned on

I did this a while back on my Sprint G2, it works on T-Mobile. I switched to T-Mobile on the 15th. Only GSM though, which is still 2x faster than Sprint's 3G at least for me.
So go ahead and enjoy!
This is a repost, there is already an unlock thread. Same info is on CloudyROM FAQ as well.

i called sprint and i got the msl code (unlock code) so i don't think i'll have to do this lol thanks though!

Sprint only unlocks for international not local. Mine was unlocked but still did not work so I used CloudyG3.

OK so I used this method to unlock the sprint LG g2 and while going into the dialer settings and changing the settings while I didn't use the settings that op suggested I switched to I believe gsm preferred and then went into the apn settings where the dev of Cloudy rom has edited in a bunch of different apns and t-mobile did work it just wasn't at speeds that we are used to this day and age in my opinion.. really not worth it to me. Tried using Verizon and while the apns popped up for it I couldn't seem to get it working. May just be the settings I was trying. But All In All The Method Does Work Just The Speed Is A factor

I am getting pretty fast speeds on GSM (250-350kbps) for the G2, maybe network in your area is not that good?

Flash CloudyG3 and follow Sprint instructions in the FAQ for that ROM, then you should be able to use it unlocked.

Yes, but I believe it actually requires more work, check out the unlock thread. It has a detailed explanation of how to do it. I prefer CloudyG3 as it does not have Sprint junk installed.

I found it earlier as well, thanks. I do not like bloatware either, but I need "stock stable" operations of my phone. I was planning to root it, so the thread gives me what I need. Not sure why it did not register for me before, too much info. I saved a link to it a week ago.
OM

Regarding the "stock stable" comment above: CloudyG3 on the G2 has been rock solid stable, and much smoother performance than the stock ROMs that I tested when I first got my G2 several days ago (ZVC was on it, it updated to ZVD, I never bothered with the ZVE update, but I did roll it back to ZV8 for some testing before I committed to installing CloudyG3).
The G3 UI is awesome, far better IMO than the G2 UI, and performance has been amazing. I installed the Dorimanx kernel and tweaked the Extreme_Battery profile a bit using STweaks and so far it's been nothing but pure awesome and I'm very happy with it.
Haven't had one issue since I did this about 3 days ago, and in fact the battery life has been steadily improving as the ROM "settles in" which is expected in some situations when that's done. I had over 7.5 hours of screen-on time yesterday and that was with only 88% on the battery when I unplugged it. I looped "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" 3x in a row with screen on the whole time (obviously) and sound muted; that movie is 2 hours and 15 mins long start to finish (including the credits because it has not one, not two, but THREE scenes during the credits).
I'm VERY happy with this CloudyG3 ROM on this G2 of mine, and as noted above and in many other posts, if you install CloudyG3 2.0 on the Sprint G2 the only thing you'll have to do afterward is put in a GSM SIM card and that's about it for it to work. All the "unlocking" stuff has been done with this ROM ahead of time - it's possible to stay pure absolute Sprint stock on this but getting that SIM unlock functional can be quite problematic, the instructions are "simple" but they still don't always work out. I made several attempts to do it with my Sprint G2 when I got it and finally gave up after reading all the positive reviews of CloudyG3.
If you want pure stock Sprint ROM action, you're going to have to work to get that SIM unlocked and it's not going to be easy - there's no "click this, click that, you're done" type solution, unfortunately.
Unless of course you take the "click this, click that, you just installed CloudyG3 on your G2, you're done..." route.

CM10 on Rogers i747M?

Hello,
I know a CM10 beta was released for the AT&T GS III but I have a Rogers GS III which is a i747M just like the AT&T one. Is it possible to install the CM10 beta on my phone? If so, will I need to install a different version of CWM on my phone?
I used this guide to root my phone and put CWM on it: http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-att-galaxy-s3-sgh-i747/
Yes it will work fine on your Rogers phone. Rogers and at&t are the same phone.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk 2
I installed CM9 on my Rogers S3 yesterday, so I doubt CM10 won't work.
Apparently there's no LTE for Rogers on CM10 yet (I couldn't get it to work on CM9 either) and the WiFi issue is unresolvable yet because you can't access the service mode menu so I switched back, sadly.
I'm on Rogers too, but I've been a little hesitant to flash to CM10 just yet. It appears there's a problem with LTE functionality -- no way to enable/force it on, currently.
So do I have to flash a special version of clockwork recovery? If so, which?

CWM 5.8.4.7 worked for me. I found that CM10 really drained the battery quickly plus no LTE support as mentioned so I switched back.
Status 7
I'm using a Rogers S3 I747M and I keep getting Status 7 messages with CM10, MIUI etc
I'm able to flash most of the other ROMs without any problems...(as long as they specify I747M , Rogers , Bell etc )
I'm currently running the JellyBean milestone 3 leak (and LTE works fine). The only problem I have is with the T-Mobile hotspot app (it won't allow me to enable HotSpot for some reason...)

Which recovery are you using? I found that I tried using 5.x.x.x CWM (sorry i cant remember) and it gave me that error, so i used another 5.x.x.x a newer later # and that flashed it...but gave me a boot loop!! fed up, i then used restored and flashed TWRP recovery, that worked like a charm!

The latest builds of CM10 won't flash properly with CWM 5; you need CWM 6 for that.

Speak for yourself. All builds of CM10 and AOKP flash perfectly fine with 5.8.4.7 CWM here.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
yes, the AT&T CM10 nightly builds should be compatible with all i747, it works with my telus one.
And as for which CWM, just instsall the most updated one, 6.0.1.2, as some of the older versions of CWM wont work properly with newer ROMS such as CM10
So with the recent "stable" release. Us Rogers users should be able flash and go no other problems? excuse my ignorance i'm a bit new at this...

Hey I'm the OP and I can clarify the developments since I made this thread.
What you need to know:
1) The Rogers Galaxy SIII model number is "SAMSUNG-SGS-I747". You can check this by going on your phone to Settings -> About Phone -> Model number. Commonly, it is just called the I747 variant.
In the US, the version for the AT&T carrier is also the exact same phone (same hardware), ie it is also the i747.
Because the US phone market is more popular (I guess) our device (the i747) is usually referred to as the "AT&T variant".
2) This mean that any ROM developments/tutorials/guides that work for the AT&T phone will work for your phone. Actually, the i747 variant of the Galaxy SIII is also used for Bell and Telus (as listed in the name of this subforum).
Another thing is that manufacturers give different hardware revisions different names to be used internally (I believe). The i747 name is "d2att" so this is just another synonym for your phone.
3) Knowing all this, you just need to find a ROM built for your device (d2att). There are plenty in the "Original Android Development" section of this subforum.
I would recommend trying Cyanogenmod Nightly until you become accustomed to flashing, ROMs, etc.
If you were to go on cyanogenmod's download site (http://get.cm/) on the left you will see a list of all supported devices. If you hover over "d2att" you'll see it reveals it's common name, the AT&T GS III. There you can download nightlies, which means that every day a new version with new changes to this ROM have been made available for download.
4) To actually install a rom, I would reccomend looking for a quick intro guide to flashing. First thing you'll have to do though is flash custom recovery on your phone. Basically, you want to put Clockwork Recovery Mod on your phone so you can easily install ROMs on your phone.
If you haven't already, you'll have to root and install clockwork. Find a guide to do it (if you have trouble let me know or start a thread).
If you have any other questions just PM me and I can help you since I have the same phone as you.

error when flashing ROM downloaded from ROM Manager
Just a heads up, as this may affect other Rogers users.
After downloading any cyanogenmod 10 nightly using ROM Manager Premium, I was getting an error when attempting to flash the ROM.
For some as of yet unknown reason, even though the recovery was configured for the d2att model, it was downloading the ROM for the d2mtr model. I have brought this to the attention of @Clockworkmod on Twitter, and provided logs and build.prop, but the underlying cause is still unknown.
The device was correctly identified as a "d2att" within the build.prop, and the correct recovery was selected and applied from within ROM Manger. I also attempted manually flashing both the standard and touch recoveries, with no difference in behaviour. Same after a full wipe of ROM Manager data & a re-installation.
The solution was to manually flash the d2att CloclworkMod recovery from the ROM Manger site, and then manually specifying the recovery as follows:
Menu --> Manual Flash Override --> ClockworkMod 5.X.X.X+
Reboot and ROMs now download as required.

[Q] Minor tweaks for the E980H Panama ROM on AT&T E980 to make LTE stick on

Hello all,
I know this should be asked in the Development section, but I'm such a noob I can't post there yet lol. I have a quick question for those who flashed the Panama E980H ROM on the AT&T E980. (see this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438088)
Well, first of all, I did it. It's the best ROM there is (in terms of fidelity to stock LG software without the carrier crap). Even the boot animation is pure LG.
Everything works perfectly, too. There's just one problem: I guess the E980H for Panama doesn't have LTE connectivity, because there is not an option to set the phone for LTE/WCDMA/GSM (Auto) like on the Telcel or AT&T Rom. Only WCDMA/GSM or GSM [Auto]. So, I did *#*#4636#*#* and set it to LTE/GSM/WCDMA, and badda bang I'm on T-Mobile's LTE. But that's a pain in the arse because it only lasts until you next start the phone (similar to enabling LTE on a Nexus 4 pre 4.2.2 firmware). And LTE is important to me.
So, my question is this: is there a permanent way to enable LTE on the E980H Panamanian firmware? I'm willing to put up with selecting LTE manually since the ROM is so sweet, but if there is a permanent solution to make that setting stick I would appreciate the insight. :laugh:
Thanks in advance! (If you're thinking of flashing this ROM, do it - totally stock LG, fast, smooth, beautiful. Without all the AT&T or Telcel garbage). As far as I can tell, it most closely resembles the Telcel ROM but, like I said, without all their crap. Stable and smooth. :good:
I am definitely going to flash it. My device (AT&T E980) is on Telcel right now and though the amount of bloatware is much less than AT&T, it's still quite a lot for my taste.
Thanks for providing the information.

Yes, sadly I believe you were right. My solution didn't work after all. I'm not surprised
You know what I tried now? I booted into safe mode, accessed Testing menu > set network type, rebooted, and so far it's sticking.
Let's hope this is the one...
Any ideas you might brainstorm in the meantime I welcome :laugh:
QuickRemote...
Hey, has anyone else noticed that the QuickRemote app on the Panamanian E980H is different from Telcel's E980H and AT&T's E980? Like, I've noticed it lacks support for Insignia/Dynex televisions, which the other ones most certainly had. I don't understand it.
Another minor quirk that matters a great deal to me, since I have a lot of Dynex and Insignia TVs around. Grr...
Could we port the other app? And, what's the differences between them anyway? If someone on AT&T or Telcel's ROM wouldn't mind looking and reporting, I have QuickRemote version 3.2.3 on the Panamanian E980H.
Thanks guys! Strange, strange...
Can someone upload the LGPhone_JB.apk and LGPhone_JB.odex along with LGSystemUI.apk and LGSystemUI.odex, im going to take a look and try something.

Could you explain what maybe we could help? What was you wanting to look at?
I was doing to check the Androidmanifest.xml to see if the option was still in there perhaps, if not i have another thought on the reason why. Also try to see if the option was still there on other stock roms if i use the Panama apks instead. Maybe it's vendor script that removes the LTE option since they don't support it but it should still embedded in the stock firmware.
I wanted to check the apks before installing the Panama rom first, don't have time to backup at moment but will try my luck after getting off my 2nd job if i can stay awake long enough lol.

VERY EXCITED!!!
To permanently enable LTE on the Panamanian ROM, do the following:
With the device on:
1.) Hold down the power key.
2.) Select and HOLD "Power off" until the device prompts you to restart in Safe Mode. Press OK to reboot into Safe Mode.
3.) Device will reboot. Upon startup, do the following:
4.) Go to Phone.
5.) Dial *#*#4636#*#*. Testing menu will open.
6.) Go to Phone information > Preferred network type > "LTE/GSM/WCDMA [Auto]"
7.) Select that one, or whatever you prefer.
8.) Press home key.
9.) Hold down the power key.
10.) Select "Power off." Phone will turn off.
Upon startup, the device will remember that preferred network mode. Mine has - it hasn't fallen off of LTE since. DO NOT reselect a different network type in Testing, or the settings for LTE will not be retained.
11.) Enjoy! Hope this helps. If you gave it a try or it helped you (worked for me! :laugh, please press "Thanks!" I need all the help I can get around here.
Since several of you are on the Panama ROM in this thread... would anyone be so kind as to share the bootanimation.zip?
That did not work for me. What are you calling the "Home Button"? The middle one with the LED? That brings up task manager, nothing else. Thanks.
Hmmmm not sure but when I got my Note i717 and flash a non US Rom and not got the LTE settings I modify the build.prop but right now not remember what I edited.

DOES NOT WORK!. DOES NOT WORK! I think the best solution would be to get the ROM: LG Optimus G PRO (Model: LG E981H). This have this option enabled 4G LTE in the same bands of AT & T, which are: Network: GSM850/900/1800/1900 + WCDMA 850/1900/2100 + LTE (B4, B17)

Very strange. Please follow the guide perfectly. Also realize that it wormed perfectly for me. And BTW I do not have AT&T.
Sometimes, my network indicator says "3G" when its really on "4G" (LTE) or "H+". Not sure why this is. Do not trust the indicator; always go to the Settings menu where it says "Network type: LTE" to see that it is connected. Third party apps like Ookla sometimes invalidate the icon and show you have LTE too.

It worked, and continues to work for me, to this day. Also, does the Argentina ROM have branding? Like a carrier logo on startup or a bunch of their bloatware?
First of all, thanks for the info about *#*#4636#*#* This made me flashing the PANAMA stock rom on my AT&T E980 very worthwhile.
As for the LTE tweak, I went in using the dial code for testing and tried a few things out. First I selected GSM/WCDMA/LTE (Auto), but it resets to GSM (Auto) upon restarting the phone. So I tried the method going Safe Mode and all, and still the same result. But then I tried LTE/WCDMA only, and it sticks!!! I didn't have to go to Safe Mode, and it doesn't revert back to anything when I restart.
BTW, I have a non rooted stock Panama rom. I'm very happy now.
langs
The panama E980 version still has 6 languages in it like the AT&T version has?

Sorry, I don't. I used hyelton's or the Stock page by minnaing in LGOG > Android Development links to find one. Can't seem to find it anymore. No issues here on Panamian ROM. All OK. Even unrooted!
Good luck.

Another way GSM Unlock for US Carriers and returning from d801 to ls980

So is there any other way of gsm unlocking the LS980 for US carriers (T-mobile for me) without being on the two specific roms that do this? Like say Vanir, or omnirom, or the Glex rom? I see the build.prop method mentioned a lot but not the actual process for it, and does that work for US carriers? Also, I flashed Justin's stock JB rom on my ls980 so its going to say its a d801, how do i go back to my ls980 status? I may or may not have accidentally my backup too... any way to undo this without using the lg flash tool?
justin posted a guide on how to port pretty much any rom from any of the other carriers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2596175&page=41
Look for post #410 (credit to justin)
So far Ive tried the energy rom in the tmobile dev section and the stock international version (d802). Both worked well and I especially liked the d802 because it had the fm radio app and it worked great. Some other users have ported verizon roms as well.
Ive also tried the build prop method with modest success:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2596175&page=41
Look for post #423 and remember ti use lowercase "spr" (credit to MA7MOD_GSM)
Unfortunately the build prop method has a few quirks. You have to dial a "1" before dialing a number otherwise the dialing app crashes. Also I couldn't get wifi tethering to work properly. Eventually I settled on the energy rom and its been my daily driver for about 2 weeks and I cant complain much.
I dont know if you can successfully flash a ls980 and get back on the stock rom without lg flash tool. If you want to go back to stock Id stick to the tried and true method namely the stock tot file and lg flash tool. Follow the instructions here: (credit to hyelton)

Any idea as to whether trying the romn compare method listed in Justins instructions would work with the base and another sprint rom. I believe the rom is called d3rp or something similar.

Thats a good question. I cant speak from experience but Id imagine that any stock based spring rom would still have the usa gsm carrier lock. Now if I remember correctly some users have reported that using the build prop method then flashing a sprint AOSP rom unlocked the phone for usa carriers. Again I havent tired it myself but its somewhere in the unlock thread here:

Ah, I tried the rom porting method with an ATT rom but it woyldn't boot. It got past the lg logo and got stuck on a black screen and at the top left it said Fastboot and under that it had a number code. I managed to restore from backup using twrp but any idea what that was or how to get past it?
Which ROM did u try? Also did u clear cache/dalvik before and after installation? Try any of ROMS in the international section. Ive ported a few international ones and never had a problem. also Im pretty sure that justins Tmo port has worked with att sims,

It was called something along the lines of grievous or grievious rom and yes, I wiped everything and I always clear both caches but it wouldn't boot and got stuck on the fastboot screen. I replaced all the necessary files although I did notice that the rom did not have the loki folder at all but I copied it anyway, is that maybe why that happened? Also, do you remember what other roms you've tried besides the energy rom?

Hi
Hi , I have flashed JUSTIN ROM posted in post# 239
It works fine , I have one issue and one query
- I can't set up any APN , by default it's T-Mobile. Even though I can add apn manually I can't select as there is no select button next to the apn.
Please note I am using this ROM in India/Airtel network (Need urgent help on this as no DATA is active)
- Is there any Kitkat version of this ROM
I have also attempted to use another ROM , following the instructions as per post #410
But after flashing my phone stuck in LG logo.
- Do I need to flash some other modem
- ROM which I were trying to flash is T-Mobile stock debloated (Kitkat) and I compared and did file adjustment against Justin's ROM (Sprint - T-Mobile , post#239 )
ROM link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2688981

[ROM][4.4.2][LG G3 Port][6-29-2014]2FacedRom 1.6/1.7.1x Stock, Debloated, US GSM Unlocked
Please read everything before downloading and blindly installing!​
Firstly, this ROM does install properly, it does boot, if you brick your phone while running this ROM chances are it was something YOU did and not the ROM, do not blame me. Secondly, I will keep this as up to date and fix things or add things as often as I can there is a Requested Features tab at the top and if you want something you need to say it there. There is also a Report Bugs tab at the top, same applies. I am the only person maintaining this project right now and I cannot read every post in this thread but I will do my best to stay on top of everything.
The rom is a port from the UK LG G3 but options for GSM or CDMA capabilities are select-able in Aroma. NFC does not work currently and may not work until the LS990 is released and dumped.
The CDMA configurations is still buggy and I am working on fixing it, update 1.7 will see a lot of fixes to the CDMA configuration. The phone app crashes when trying to call out but the phone can receive calls when CDMA is selected on install. Thats the biggest problem I've found so far.

Pretty much everything except what is listed below
Not Working:
NFC (Both CDMA and GSM)
Calling Out (CDMA Only)
Settings FC on some menus (CDMA Only)
1.7.1 Experimental!
CDMA ONLY​
For SMS/MMS use Hangouts!
Data does work but you cannot Enable/Disable it in settings or change network settings.
The phone will show "Roaming" but it won't actually be roaming.
Since this is experimental and for CDMA ONLY, only install with a clean flash.
Do not install if you are on a GSM network, for GSM stay with 1.6
To Install if coming from other ROM or 2Faced 1.0
1. Must be coming from ZVC Rom
2. Reboot to Recovery and Perform full backup
3. Wipe Dalvik Cache, System, Data, Cache
4. Install Rom
5. Customize in Aroma
6. Reboot and Enjoy!
7. PLEASE allow rom to settle for 10-15 minutes then restart before doing anything.
To Install if coming from 1.5x(Dirty Flash is possible):
Make a backup
Install using custom recovery
Select which apps you may want removed in Aroma
Select CDMA or GSM configuration
Rom will format the System partition and install updated version but you will not lose any account data or apps you have installed

Hi
Does it work with RUIMs ? Can you please test with any CDMA provider like Reliance , TATA , BSNL or MTS . I am interested in RUIM functionality in SIM slot and not interested in NV mode .

I don't have any way of testing with any of those providers but I am working on getting it to work with US CDMA Carriers, I'll do some research into your question and see if it can be put into the ROM. So far I havn't seen much outside of device limitation that cannot be achieved with Android and Custom Roms

I will most likely include a "fatter/bloated" version in my update, I do miss having Quick Memo as well as a few other niceties from a completely stock ROM. But as for now I haven't seen any flashable zip or .apk file to install for individual LG Apps. Depending on work over the next few days I should have an updated version with all of the stock LG Apps. I'm looking into using Aroma and allowing users to pick what they want on install.

Removable user identity module/subscriber identy module. Basically a new method to allow a CDMA (code division multiple access) phone use a gsm network. Our phone service is still CDMA, but 4g-lte is a GSM (global system for mobile) style network. So this format combines the two.
Click to expand...

The RUIM card was designed to replicate many of the advantages of the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card on the GSM network. Phones on the CDMA network that do not use RUIM cards store all of the user's information in the phone itself; if the user wants to change phones, he or she has to go to the cell phone service provider, who will transfer the information to the new handset. GSM network phones use SIM cards, which store all of the user's information, so activating a new phone is often as simple as moving the card from one handset to another.
CDMA phones that use RUIM cards share this ability to swap information between phones. The card is the same size and shape as a regular SIM card, and typically includes a version of the SIM software, which means that it can be used in GSM phones. As with switching cards between CDMA phones, however, the GSM handset must be unlocked for a RUIM card to work with it. An RUIM card in a GSM phone might not work in all locations, because different regions use different cell phone frequencies.

From what I've read, it really sounds like if you have a ROM which allows both CDMA and GSM communications you're really limited on the frequencies that the phone can use, the LG G2 uses these GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, UMTS 2100* LTE CAT 3, HSPA+ 21 Mbps* EDGE, GPRS Class 10, UMTS, HSPA+, WCDMA, LTE Bands 25/26/41*. All listed frequency support is network/carrier specific. Roaming capability and network frequency support may not be available. If the carrier you wish to use the device with supports any of these then it should work to some extent, at least that's how it appears to me.

I have Sprint LS980 only . On ZV7 and ZV8 both RUIM/GSM SIM card work once you change the NV only mode in device . I asked as this functionality was disabled by Sprint in ZVC . The device already has the capability and I dont want to lose it by upgrading to Kitkat . The frequencies in GSM might not work in US in HSPA+ but works fine in other countries which have the Sprint LS980 frequencies for HSPA+ and LTE .
So when the user had commented that he had used it in GSM in India , thats why i requested him to put any RUIM and confirm whether RUIM functionality is disabled or not .

This is not a Sprint based ROM, it is T-Mobile GSM based, which is why it allows for GSM carriers to communicate with the device and it not be locked to Sprint CDMA.

Yes, that means you need the modified kernel for your device. Most likely your device has the JDI panel and the kernel is built for the LGD panel.
Have you checked out this nifty tool which should patch your kernel and fix the white lines issue?

Shortly after posting I can across the jdi kernel and flashed it and all is working now. Thank you very much for the response and help.
I flashed the ROM but it won't boot ahead of LG Logo.
Seems it was a bad flash or bad download...
But, now I can't:
1. Flash TOT file of LS980 as it says incorrect model no
2. Can't boot to recovery thru key combinations.. Its really hit n miss n last time i could boot into recovery thru this combination on some other device was after 10-15 tries.
I can keep trying to boot to recovery n then restore my backup..
Before that, any other solution?
Edit... Was able to boot to recovery n then restore my ZVA backup..
What I actually did was, Flashed the rom on ZVA + flashed ZVC modem.
Was this the reason of not booting the rom? if so, do i need to be on ZVC only ??? No other way to go from ZV7/8/A?

1. Flash TOT file of LS980 as it says incorrect model no
2. Can't boot to recovery thru key combinations.. Its really hit n miss n last time i could boot into recovery thru this combination on some other device was after 10-15 tries.
I can keep trying to boot to recovery n then restore my backup..
Before that, any other solution?
Edit... Was able to boot to recovery n then restore my ZVA backup..
What I actually did was, Flashed the rom on ZVA + flashed ZVC modem.
Was this the reason of not booting the rom? if so, do i need to be on ZVC only ??? No other way to go from ZV7/8/A?

yes it needs the ZVC Modem/Radio, there is a DLL file that will allow Flash Tools to ignore SW Version and flash it to an LG default. You can then reboot into download and flash anything else with the regular Sprint DLL if you ever get stuck again. I've used it many times, here it is.

Got it.. I am already downloading ZVC tot...
But, out of curiosity, I did flash ZVC radio along with your rom, still why didn't it allow?
Thanks for the DLL thing...

here the download page link https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=22680
and hers the original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/rom-resurrectionremix-lpalpha-t2969200
That's because cm12 for our device was just released today, our first nightly is available for download. Check it out let us know how it runs

Try wiping cache and dalvik cache.

can we go from the experimental to this one or should we start from scratch?
i get the bootloop too? could it be from using the apps package from the experimental build?

When this happened to me it was because I didn't know to downgrade the radio to ZV8. Once I did that the ROM booted OK.
CAUTION backup your modem and EFS before you downgrade so you can restore them if you want to go back to a newer stock ROM- EFS might not change but modem for sure. I spent a whole day with "no service" trying to get back to ZVE which has been all round best for me.
Ok after some extensive research I finally got it working with the latest nightly jan 20th. I wiped everything except internal.. Flashed the cm12 then zv8 radio.. Wiped cache and dalvic and it booted fine.. I then proceeded to install the appropriate gapps..

Sooo- I'm no developer but I can tell you what worked for me. We're starting from different working roms and, except maybe for the recovery, can't imagine this matters. I am on stock ZVE, Dorimanx bumped kernel V9.55KK and bumped TWRP 2.8.3.1
1. nandroid backup and modem backup
2. wipe standard wipe and system
3. flash ZV8 radio from here- http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/G2_modems
4. wipe dalvik
5. flash CM nightly (works with 20150120 didn't try older ones)
6. wipe dalvik and reboot
Probably a couple of extra wipes in there but can't hurt. Hope this works for you.
I expect good things from this rom- Shelnutt2 always did a nice things for the Optimus G my last phone.
Thank you
Just wanted to start of saying thanks to @Shelnutt2 for posting up the thread. I'm not sure if you are just going keep the thread up as a place for discussion around the official build for our device OR the CM maintainer that pulled the lucky LS980 number, but either way, thanks!
I came from the December 26th dated alpha build that @Rashed97 did for all the G2 variants and it ran good, few things here and there, but it had been my daily driver since Dec 28th and I've been happy since then. Was apprehensive about flashing the nightly builds because it's usually a regression at first BUT I have to say, so far, so good. My good friend and teammate @thoughtlesskyle and his themes pushed me over the edge, I just had to get the Theme Engine so I could try them on my own device so here I am, on CM12 Official nightly 20150128 and love using the THEMES! :good::good:
All, CM's built in SU control doesn't play nice with Titanium Backup AT ALL (ie, your apps will not restore) so you'll need to either just install SuperSU from the Play Store and update binaries as OR flash it when you flash rom.
Things that did not work in the Unofficial CM12 build that I noticed myself were:
1. No SIM Card warning on lock screen
2. CM Messenger app *send button did not work so app was useless
2a. MMS were not able to be received (not even through Google Messenger app)
3. GPS (well, not like that really worked on stock anyway.....
4. Sometimes system volume would just go to zero requiring reboot to restore
5. VERY hard to get the device to connect to Spark B41 networks (but had SOLID B25/B26 performance)
5a. Mobile networks setting would change on it's on
6. Theme Engine missing
7. Speaker phone didn't work, would turn sound from caller/video chat into very garbled unrecognizable output
8. NFC was SOOOO broken that it required manually deleting the NFC folder from system to keep from 100% wakelock
9. I'm sure other odds and ends but all in all, no show stoppers and I've been quite impressed with the CM12 start for our device
Now, I'm about 1hr fresh on the official build and can confirm that of my list 9 items from unofficial, 2a and 6 are fixed. I'll update as I spend more time with the rom but I'm looking forward to more good things here.
Finding Lollipop for my phone thoroughly made my day. Truly. Thousands of thanks to shel and whomever else got this here.
Flashed 1/28 clean with ZV8 radios via TWRP 2.7.0.0. Way quicker and better-looking and -feeling than stock.
GPS , MMS (with Google Messenger) and speaker work for me.
I've had no trouble with the built-in SU (I dig it), but I restore with ROM Toolbox Pro, not Titanium.
Send button on stock Messaging doesn't work for me either.
It does read "No SIM card - Sprint" on lock screen (as well as during the CM setup process).
Bluetooth works, but texts cannot be read by my car (as they could with stock and most, if not all ROMS on my N5).
Haven't touched NFC. Cheers and thanks again.
If you want the remote from lg, here is the thread for the remote to work on AOSP.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2929146
I've been using it in resurrection ROM for a while now. Since it is from the g3, it has a newer look.
I may come back to cm12, but haven't taken the dive yet.
May wait to see what else Mr Rogers finds. I know cm messenger has been unable to send since the beginning of alphas. Would think they could get that fixed. Also, for a limited data guy, not being able to shut off sprint data has been a issue for me.
Especially since I've heard d802, can shut their off with the toggle.
Looks like using any system profile mutes notifications. Can't get 'em to come back without a reboot.
I'm on the 26th version and just about everything seems to work fine. Sending messages works, sim shows up fine (using consumer cellular [att]), etc. Only thing that I'm curious about is UMS (usb mass storage). My car will not read an mtp device but did read usb mass storage when I was using my motorola atrix (using its internal sdcard, no external card required). Anybody know how to make it work in this rom or should I give that tmobile kk rom a shot (not sure how well it'd work on att)?

Scratch that. GPS isn't working. It can locate me when I'm connected to Wi-Fi, but not otherwise.
Screen is stuck in portrait orientation.
I can't get back to my stock backup. Same thing happened on my LG Optimus G: can't get back to AOSP without a total format.
i apologize for posting here, but i came across this thread looking for cyanogenmod 12 for d803. I saw on github you are a contributor. So, i was wondering that if it was even remotely possible for you to build d803? i know it could be a hassle for you thank you for your hard work in building for the beloved g2.

Got it. Had to clean-flash 2/1 to get screen rotation working, though.
Tried wiping caches and flashing 1/28, then wiping caches and system. Neither worked.
Still, I'm the happiest camper I've been since I've had the G2.
