[Q] Flashed Uncompatible Version of Cyanogenmod to my now Soft-Bricked phone - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Specs for my phone:
Verizon LG G2 VS980
Kitkat 4.4.2
Rooted
Note: You'll notice that I put the names of webpages because I'm not allowed to put the actual links. To find them, just search them on Google
My rooted LG G2 was working perfectly fine. My friends has a Galaxy S III, and installed cyanogenmod successfully onto his phone. Wanting to install cyanogenmod onto my phone, I attempted to download the Cyanogenmod 11 snapshot, the 6th download on the cyanogenmod wiki page for installing onto the LG G2 VS980. I then wiped everything on my phone EXCEPT for the Internal SD using Team Win Recovery (TWRP). Then, I flashed the cyanogenmod zip file onto my phone, and rebooted it. I followed everything this youtube video, called: "Install CyanogenMod 11 / Android 4.4 KitKat custom ROM using TWRP" said to do. However, when I rebooted it, it got stuck in a bootloop, and I the button combinations to reboot into recovery do not work. I have come to the conclusion that I installed a version of cyanogenmod that doesn't work. I want to know if there's anything I can do to get my phone working again, and if so, what.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

[Q]

Hi, I flashed CM 10.2 on my Galaxy S4, and I used titanium backup to restore all my apps, only apps I didn't choose was TouchWiz and the TouchWiz simpler one. And it said I needed to reboot my device for the changes to apply, so I did that. When I rebooted it said everything stopped working. Even the core thing. Screen went black. Then I took out the battery and when I tried to go to my custom recovery, it just skipped the recovery screen and booted into cm again and same thing happened. Everything just stopped working. Help please. Also I am able to get into download mode. I just don't know how to recover from this. I am running 4.3.1 cm nightly, well I was. I don't know if I could count it was 4.3
if you are able to access the download mode then flash a stock rom. then root your device again.

Installing Cyanogenmod 10.2 on LG E973...

Hi there,
I have LG e973, originally from Bell. I unlocked it and all. Skype works wonderfully on the default Bell Android, but it's so hard to do anything with it, it drives me to mod it with Cyanogenmod. I only managed to install Cyanogenmod 11.
I been trying to install Cyanogenmod 10.2 (Jelly Bean), as I'm sick and tired not able to use Skype on Cyanogenmod 11 (video call and mic doesn't even work, it just crashed on loading). I read that a lot of users switch back to 10.2 because Skype works.
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=e973&type=stable
So far, everytime I tried to install it, it prompt me a bunch of errors that I'm unable to install it via CWM-Recovery 6.0.4.6 (rooted, use FreeGee). It did work for Cyanogenmod 11, but nothing else.
Did I do something wrong?

Hi there,
Thanks. I'll try that, but I'm still want to try to install CM10.2 at least... I still wonder why no one came out with any fixes for Skype for CM11...

[Q] Update I9300 with 5.1.1 rom lost root

Hi,
I was on the paranoid 4.4.4 rom on my I9300, everything worked fine.
I did the last update with paranoid 5.1.1 but it didn't worked well, i have multiple error and Google service won't work anymore.
The thing is, i can't do anything at all, like restore my last backup because i lost the root access with the update.
I can't load in recovery mode, i tried the HOME+VOLUME DOWN (or up) + POWER, it won't work.
I can't fine the debug mode on this version, so i really don't know how i can at least restore my last backup to go back to the 4.4.4 version.
Any help is appreciated, thaks for your time.
Root doesn't ship with any 5.x build of paranoid android. To reset you need to boot into recovery and restore your backup or flash a different ROM.
You don't need root access for that.
It sounds like you installed an incompatible gapps....
Thanks for your reply,
I managed to boot in recovery, using a method i found on the web, i pull the battery then hold the combination keys when i put it back, and it load in recovery just fine.
I think i couldn't install the proper gapps because i was in clockwork recovery, i installed the latest TWRP, but i still can't manage to install the latest paranoid rom prpoperly.
here's what i did so far:
- wipe all/ factory reset , install Paranoid5.1.1 + Gapps 5.1 mini => paranoid load but Black screen once it's loaded with the message "Android.phone interrupted" (gross traduction) popping every 2 sec, it disapear if i put the phone on airplane mode => make me think the Google service can't connect.
- Restore my last 4.4.4 backup then => wipe cache/dalvik=>install Paranoid 5.1.1 + gapps => same as the previous problem, but this time i have my old app and i can call and receive sms.
My guess so far is a problem with the Google service who can't synchronize, the Gapps i try to use are the pa_gapps-modular-pico-5.1-20150315-signed.zip
Any guess ?
Yeah. The problem is you are using old gapps. Use banks gapps
I had trouble with a clean install of PA 5.1 + Gapps on my S3 (i9300) and similar issues to yours, not sure why but I found that if I used th full fat "Stock" 5.1 Gapps the phone was fine and has been for a day or 2 now, the pico/mini/full seemed to be problematic (at least for me). Also moved to Philz Recovery using the "Rashr" app as my old CWM kept throwing an error of status 6 on any Gapps I downloaded... Must admit though that once stable PA Lollipop runs well on the S3 and battery seems better over the past couple of days too...

[Help] Upgrading AT&T i747m from CWM/4.4.4 KitKat to TWRP/CM12.1

Hello guys,
It's been a while since the last time I visited the SGS3 section, over a year ago I remember updating the bootloader in order to upgrade/flash to 4.4.4 which went very smooth and was a success. I gave the phone to a sibling who has been very happy with it for the last year and a half. Lately, the phone has been very unstable with the 4.4.4 KitKat ROM, WiFi doesn't turn on, Bluetooth is unstable, Unstable apps/Force closes. I tried a wipe/factory restore and re-flashed the ROM but the problems persisted.
I did a little research and liked what CyanogenMod is doing and since they are actively supporting the phone I decided to flash CM12.1 and the provided Open Google-Apps, CM12.1 flashed successfully but Open Google-apps refused to install, CWM displayed (Section 6) error which upon research it is common with CWM and the solution is to flash TWRP. I booted with CM12.1 in order to install TWRP Manager through the APK and flash TWRP but it force-closed when it searched for the device model. WiFi was working but Bluetooth was still unstable.
I would like to know what would be the best way to proceed in this case, I would like to upgrade the recovery to TWRP and flash CM12.1 or any other stable Lollipop ROM.
Thanks,
Oscar

Cyanogenmod not booting after install

Hi,
I'm completely new to customROMs at all, so please bear with me..
So, first I tried to flash Cyanogenmod 13 nightly on my G3 which failed with "system partition has unexpected contents after ota update". At this point I was unable to get past the "LG powered by Android" boot screen, but I figured that was okay, since the install failed. I was running Android 5.0 beforehand and after a quick Google search I decided to try CM 12.1 first.
So I started again with wiping the device and installing CM 12.1 which succeeded. However, I still couldn't get past the LG boot screen. I tried wiping and reinstalling CM 12.1 several times with no success.
I was following the official guide rooting my phone and using LG G3 AutoRec-Lollipop to install TWRP.
I don't really care about my data (it's all in the cloud anyway), but I'd like to get my phone to work again. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
what's your current twrp version?
