[Q] Lg G2 LS980

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.

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.

i jave ls980 with twrp recovery installed....and i m ron rooted stock zvc...
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.

i can't root my stock zvg
i installed stock zvg with adb sideload. but i can't root it! this root method is stucking at %90. is there any root method except this?

Have you tried the non graphic version 1.2.

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?

SOLVED!!! [Q] LS980 ZVE Root and TWRP Confusion...

Hello everyone. I have been all over the web and especially in this forum reading up for weeks about rooting and TWRP Recovery for my brand new Sprint LS980 (Best Buy $150 plus tax!) that I updated to ZVE via OTA. I'm still a bit confused. Information is all over the place and varies. For rooting, there seems to be at least three ways from what I understand. The first is Stump Root, then there is LG One Click Root, and finally DP Tools. Which of these is best? I just want to keep the stock ZVE (Odexed) and be able to have TWRP for backup purposes. I may run the stock ZVG update in the future when it becomes available as a ROM to flash thru TWRP.
That leads me to more confusion. There seems to be two editions of TWRP available with various version updates for each. The original TWRP Recovery from Team Win and then Blastagator's modded TWRP Recovery with Thermal Control and F2FS. Which one of these two editions and WHICH VERSION UPDATE is best for my Sprint LS980 on ZVE? Do I need to worry about my phone heating up and melting from using it with the original TWRP? Please remember that I just want to keep it stock ZVE for now and maybe run the stock ZVG in the future. What is the best way to install the right TWRP for me after root?
I ask all of these questions because I read here and there about overheating issues and possible damaged screens from the original TWRP. I also read here and there about TWRP not working with ZVE unless downgrading the bootloader to ZV8 and/or the radio (modem) as well . I need Knock On/Off to work and there are many reporting it not working after rooting and TWRP. Can someone please clear this up for me? Thanks in advance.

If your on zve and want to stay on that. Then root with stump root. Then install autorec for kitkat. I suggest flashing dorimanx Kernal knock on n off works, and b there will be no wedgie line issues and no b overheating. Good luck

Thanks jcsheriff, but after some more research, I actually found the best way was to use Stump Root and then use Flashify to install blastagator's TWRP mod. This is what I did and it worked amazing and very easy (less than 10 minutes) on my Sprint G2 with no computer needed. All stock with no modifications and no issues at all!
The best way to root and install the latest TWRP for Sprint LS980 on ZVE (KitKat) with no issues is this. Easiest and fastest way and as simple as 1, 2, 3! So that all can understand this clearly if they need it, see below:
1. Root the stock Sprint LS980ZVE (KitKat) with Stump Root from here:
http://downloads.codefi.re/jcase/Stump-v1.2.0.apk
If you need instructions, read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
2. Use Flashify from Play Store to install blastagator's latest recovery.img from here:

Thanks for your guide.
I did your way and it worked.
But I had to force root.
The easy way to install recovery is with autorec for KK.
Worked realy fast and easy. But do not try to install twrp with autorec on other version.
I had my phone bricked by autorec.
Good luck

[Q] I Can't root my LG G3. Any ideas as to why not?

Basic Info: LG G3
T-Mobile Variant D851
Android Lollipop 5.0.1
Kernel Version: 3.4..0
Build Number: LRX21Y
Software Version: D85120e
Security Software: MDF v1.1 Release 2
I used to have my G3 rooted I was running the liquidsmooth rom on it. Then a few days ago I somehow managed to boot into fastboot mode and didn't know how to get out. I was able to get into twrp recovery but the phone would only boot into fastboot mode. Of course, I just decided to try something and cleared all the data from my phone and re flash liquidsmooth. It took me out of fastboot mode and put me into a bootloop.
I then used the LG Flash Tool to restore my phone to stock and it Worked! It sent my phone back to kitkat though so i updated my phone to Android Lollipop and tried to run avicohh's one-click root script again but it didn't work!
I then re-restored my phone to kitkat and tried again and it rooted just fine. :good: Then I updated my phone to Android L and of course, my root disappered. I tried to root again on 5.0.1 and the same thing happens.
( I attached an image of the command prompt). It says "Done" but I know it isn't. The prompt should be waaaay longer than that. When it worked on kitkat, there was more text there.
Tlr
My phone will not root on 5.0.1... Any ideas? I tried purpledrake and got the same issue.
I will provide more information if prompted to.
Thank You for any help you can provide.

How to root LG G3 D851 with MM 6.0
Why can't work on mine
How to root LG G3 D851 with MM 6.0 or install TWRP or Install Custom Rom like MIUI 8

hi,
you can downgrade your phone to D85130d by flashing a KDZ file
you can use the one from this topic :http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...ck-d851-30d-kdz-flashable-zips-imgs-t3367371;
then you can temporary-root it using Kingoroot , while on temp-root, flash TWRP using Flashify (available on Play store)
then flash SuperSu using TWRP and you're on full root.
this way worked for me.

How to re-root a LG G Pad 8.3 (V500) already on Marshmallow 6.0.1

I rooted my LG G Pad 8.3 (V500) and I installed the AOSP 6.0.1 (MOB30J). It works fine, but for some reasons (?), I lost the root. Does someone know how to re-root the G Pad 8.3, already on Marshmallow 6.0.1 ? The root guides for Android 4.4 do not work and I do not find a guide for the 6.0 version. Thanks for your help.

Hi, you flash SuperSU 2.52 in recovery to root your Device? If still not have SuperSu after boot, you install it from playstore. It's will OK.

Hi. Many thanks for your answer. I have SuperSu, but it tells me that:
1- I have no binary installed
2- if I made an update to Android 5.0 (in my case, it's 6.0), I have to re-root my device manually.

As @hptnhan says, if you flash the latest SuperSU.zip from custom recovery then you should be set.

Restore to a 100% stock unrooted ROM using a KDZ or TOT made for your variant (V500). Flashing a TOT or flashing a KDZ with the CSE option will wipe everything including internal storage. If you flash the same version of the stock ROM that you were previously successfully running, you could try flashing a KDZ with the Normal option which won't wipe Data. If the tablet won't finish booting after that, try wiping Cache or a Factory Reset which will be the same as flashing the KDZ with the CSE option.

Thanks for your help. I was able to flash the stock rom. I installed ASOP 6.01 again and i lost root again. How do I gain root again on ASOP 6.01? Flashing the supersu.zip doesnt work for me. Is there another way to regain root on ASOP 6.01? Thank you.

I will ask the same question: How do i root my LG G Pad 8.3, running Android 6.0.1?
I've tried SuperSU 2.52, but got stuck on the secure boot error.

AOSP or CM 13? I haven't fooled with CM for any device in over a year but last I checked it includes it's own SuperUser app that you could enable. It might've been in the Developer Options section of Settings. You could also optionally try flashing an old version of SuperSU that's not Marshmallow-aware such as v2.46 or 2.5x (I think 2.5x was still not Marshmallow aware). Don't blame me for bricks though.
When I had tried CM 12.1 (for a different device, I don't have what you have) you could opt for flashing SuperSU.zip instead of enabling the built-in SuperUser app. I don't know if that's still an option under CM 13.

Sounds like you fellas are running wrong base ^^ (original firmware that V500 came with?)
Could be wrong as I've been out of the game a while o_0
Try a new base and then root, recovery and custom ROM it.
