[Q] Lg G2 LS980 - Sprint LG G2

Hi guys i have an LG Sprint LS980 and i factory reseted it a few days ago. After reset i was unable to use my GSM sim on it. Browsed through the forums and found a permanent unlock and now i can use my GSM sim again, however, i have a few problems discussed below:
1. The sim unlock method did not work with ZVE, ZVC and ZVA as i was unable to drag and drop " Property folder" from Carrier to/carrier/ in my device using Total commander from my PC, hence i had to flash to ZV8 then rooted with iroot and sim started working but now after accepting OTA the phone has updated to ZVA and sim still works. After this my g2 started to download ZVC OTA and i installed it too but after reboot my G2 still shows version as 4.2.2 (jelly bean) and as ZVA instead of ZVC. Software update also shows that phone is up to date. SO I AM STUCK AT JELLY BEAN ZVA.
2. In all the versions that i have flashed (ZVE, ZVC, ZVA and ZV8) i have been unable to go into recovery mode via TWRP app or quick boot. Clicking on flash in TWRP App does nothing, while in quick boot my g2 reboots but after lg logo boots into homescreen instead of recovery mode. So i am unable to flash cloudy G2 v 2.2 rom.
SUMMARY
- G2 won't update to Kit kat and stuck on ZVA jelly bean even though ZVC installed via OTA.
- G2 won't go into recovery mode no matter what i tried so can't install cloudy G2 v 2.2 rom.
- If i flash to ZVE then my GSM sim will not work and i will be unable to apply permanent sim unlock as it will not let me drag and drop " Property folder" via Total Commander.
So i am unable to update to latest version both via OTA as well as via flashing (as my sim will not work on it) and also unable to install custom cloudy G2 v 2.2 rom.
Please help out sirs. These couple of days were like hell to me :crying:

Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers from the owners/experts.
Stand by
Good luck

So your download mode is broken or not? It sounds like you were only rooted. I don't know much on the Sim issue. But you could tot to zv8, and then maybe hit cm12 after running auto-rec.

No download mode is working fine. But recovery mode is not working whether via quick boot or TWRP so i am unable to install cloudy g2 rom. And if i flash to ZVE my sim does not work. Stuck on jelly bean
And what do you mean by "cm12 after running auto-rec"?
That is the problem man, recovery mode not working no matter what i try

So, you can run lg flash tool, and take it back to zva or zvc and root. Use auto-rec to get TWRP. Install cloudy g2. Putting your change in. Or use the flash tool to go to zv8, grab official cm12. Root, use auto-rec to get TWRP, update TWRP. Flash cm12 (lollipop) with gapps. And change what you need to get your Sim working.

Will using Auto-rec be safe. Googled the app and many users reported white lines or bricked phones?

Bricked only if they used wrong one. If you are actually on ls980, use ls980.
Don't use t mobile version because you are using their service on an ls980 phone with Sim unlocked.
White lines is due to kernel. There was the two different screens used. That was identified but auto-rec kernel was never adjusted. When you flash new ROM, kernel will be replaced and that will be fixed.

TWRP for 4.4.2

So I just got my LG G2 yesterday after having an HTC One without issues for a while. I had TWRP installed on the HTC One from day one, and am now trying to do the same on the G2.
The question I have is will TWRP work on the G2 if it is already on 4.4.2? This is the thread I found: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522965
The One never had anything to do with different firmwares affecting how you install TWRP or anything like that so I'm making sure I don't do anything wrong and brick my phone after a day.
Some more info: I am already rooted using ioroot 25, as I said it is on 4.4.2, and if you guys need any other info let me know which info you need and I'll find it and post it up.
Thanks for the help!
I have tried using flashify to install TWRP 2.6.2.img file on my ls980 with 4.4.2 kitkat and it started to fastboot. After that i just used lg flash tools to revert my lg back to stock.

Twrp will not work on the zvc update. The loki exploit was shut down by lg.

Shoot, that's what I've got. Is there a way to install a Recovery or flash custom ROMs then? Or is it possible to downgrade my firmware still on ZVC?
To get recovery installed is kind of tricky right now. Some people have soft bricked or worse bricked but then they end up with no download mode on their phone. You can use the lg flash tool to downgrade to zva or zv8 and go that route to get twrp and run custom roms.

Oh boy, I may just wait it out until a little more stable version comes around, I don't wanna brick a brand new phone. Xposed will have to do for now haha.
Yeah that's what I'm doing. Flashing stuff for different devices for a while. Getting a few scares but always able to fix the phone, But g2 is turning out to be a different animal. There is some new partition in the update that is causing this problem with the download mode.Till the dev's get the zvc update figured out it even makes me a little leary of using the work arounds .
Well this just stinks! Finally have a day off to play around with my phone and now read I can't install a custom recovery. This is CaCa! :crying:

Yeah, that's how I feel. My HTC One was a breeze to use as far as TWRP and unlocking the bootloader, plus it was fairly hard to actually brick that phone. Until I get more familiar with the root scene on the G2 I don't want to try doing anything that could damage the phone.
Is it worth downgrading?

I have just switched carriers from Metro using the LG Esteem which I owned for 2 years waiting patiently for CM 10 to work. When I was researching the G2 I noticed all the roms available especially CM 11. I don't mind going through all the work to downgrade if in the end I will have a butt kicking rom that offers all that KK has plus?
If your flashaholic and like cm roms yes. I'm on stock rooted kit kat for now Not a real big fan of Cm roms. But that's just me.

SO WHATS NEXT IS THERE ANY STABLE ROMS WORTH FLASHING YET IM ROOTED AT STOCK WITH A TWRP :good:
Rooting ZVD is not that hard, just follow the instruction, it would be fine. However, if you want to install custom ROMs, ZVD will get you failed on "secure boot error" when you reboot on recovery mode.
So far, the best solution is downgrade to ZV7 or ZV8.
Affliction ROM based on zvd is available now. There is also 2facedrom.com

How to install Custom Recovery LS980 (Lollipop)???
If using the "QBking77" root install script and exe to root the current lollipop update, what is the "current" way to install TWRP or CWM custom recovery? I've recently updated to the current Lollipop update. Is there a way without reverting back to zv4 etc?

Did you use lollipop auto-rec to install TWRP. Which will put the proper boot loader, and download with kernel. Then you go to TWRP and install radio and ROM after a wipe.
I believe someone said it came back with a firmware issue. But I will have to tot, back and verify.

Cm12 is based on jellybean boot loader.
Lollipop boot loader is on stock.
KitKat is for those on custom stock based pure lollipop code.
I'm hoping I can verify something as to if only lollipop Roms can use the new auto-rec due to something in coding or something else.

also help in this scnerio can i install zvg through terp recovery
Since I already have to be on ZVG and rooted in order to install this... what is the purpose of installing the Full version of this? wouldn't it just get me what I already have?
Good question, I believe it was in the thought that we could jump from zvc,zvd, or zve into it. But firmware, seems to be an issue. Upgraded firmware breaks coming from a different version.

Stuck at initial boot
For some reason I can't seem to boot for the first time after flashing. I am stuck on the LG logo waited around half a hour and got nothing.
Tried Re-Flashing it from recovery, doesn't seem to work.
Before flashing this, I TOT'ed back to ZVE, took OTA, Rooted with LG One Click Root, got TWRP installed with AutoRec (the Lollipop one) and sim unlocked with http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...click-tool-sim-unlock-network-manual-t3114446
Luckily I backed up my stock ZVG ROM. Any clues on what to do?

Having trouble putting TWRP on AS985, rooted

Hello!
I have a rooted AS985 currently running stock kitkat. Like many other phones that are available from my rural carrier, they are basically just Verizon variants that need Verizon variant ROMs, kernels, etc.. So, after viewing the LG G3 compatibility sheet I rooted successfully with Stump and then tried to flash a bump'd VS985 TWRP image. I've tried doing so with Flashify and the ADB method, but each time I boot into the recovery I get a black screen saying "[750] fastboot mode started". I've tried multiple versions of the VS985 TWRP to no avail.
If anyone could help I'd appreciate it!

I'm only able to select my tablet but not my phone for the download. Phone is still on KitKat, unfortunately.
Thanks.
If you find anything let me know. I tried to flash twrp with flashify but it is failing and I can't find anything to help me.
@BaconBaconBacon - I am facing the same issues with my AS985. When I bought it from eBay, it was already on Lollipop 5.0.1. Build Number is LRX21Y and Firmware is 21A. I was just not able to root it using traditional one-click root methods. Only thing that worked for me was Kingroot.
However, after getting Root access, I tried to flash various Recoveries, including the Bump'd recovery for VS985. I get the same error - "Fastboot mode started".
I thought that this was due to my current firmware (21A), and I was thinking of downgrading to VS985 10B.
I am just concerned about whether or not this will brick my phone. I understand that VS985 and AS985 are essentially the same devices, but just in case.
Have you tried this method of downgrading to 10B and then flashing the custom recovery?
did you guys ever figure out how to put twrp recovery on the as985 i have my lg g3 rooted with kingroot i couldnt get it to root with the other methods so if you have it figured mind helping a fellow partner.

Yes, I was facing the same issue with Firmware 21A on my AS985. I figured that VS985 (Verizon) firmware is compatible with AS985.
I downgraded my firmware from 21A to 10B(for Verizon) Using a .TOT, .DLL and LG Flash Tool.
Instructions on androidexplained-dotcom-downgrade-lg-g3 (sorry, unable to post a link, might find something equivalent on XDA as well)
Later, I rooted the VS985-10B firmware using One Click Root scripts. Post that, I flashed TWRP (Bump'd) recovery, followed by VS985-35B firmware, CM13 (Marshmallow) and GApps.
Took me a long time to figure this out, but all works now.

how did you get it too pass for me it says fail check phone or dll since im on as985a21a it looks up my model and it wont let it go back
here is what i get
I think I had changed the build.prop file. Replaced all occurrences of AS985 by VS985. I had done this unknowingly to make AutoRec work.
I am guessing that FlashTool also worked because of that.

where might i be able to change that
okay i found out how but all i see with the as985 is one thing which i changed to vs985 anything else maybe a screenshot of what you changed may help thanks again!
okay im on vs98510b now question do i lose my root when i flash the new firmware vs985-35B firmware or is the vs985 just the upgrde to lollipop ?
You won't lose access to root.
However, I would suggest that you go in this order.
1. Root Vs985 10b firmware and install TWRP. You need to install a bumped recovery.
2. VERIFY if you can boot into recovery.
3. Place 35b bootstack, cm13 and gapps on your SD card.
4. Go into Recovery, and wipe system, data, cache etc. DONT wipe your internal SD card.
5. Flash the above 3 zip files one by one in a single session. Don't reboot before you have flashed all 3 zip files.
6. You should be able to boot into CM13.
