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?

1. Flash the 10C KDZ using the "LG Flash Tool" and method in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848
(you will have now lost TWRP and root)
2. Re-install TWRP and install Supersu following the method you originally followed

3. and NEVER EVER take an OTA update when rooted or bootloader unlocked
I recommend after each update to make clean install
has anyone with the SEA variant tried flashing the Euro Open KDZ? They are both h815 so it should be fine right?
im on 11a, what will happen if i just KDZ my phone to the 13b without that OTA update, will it work or no
Will brick it. Need to use the 11a Kdz. Take the ota then you can root the 13B same as you did with 11A

Yup!
Someone was nice enough to upload a pre-rooted 13B image.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/general/vs98613b-saved-image-rooted-t3258794
Complete directions to install root are in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
Remember, keep your rooted image on your phones internal storage incase something happens. You can always re-flash it. But if things go really wrong and you are already on 13B software, there is now a 13b KDZ available at the following link.

13B OTA update is ONLY for Verizon users. It will brick your phone if you try installing a different firmware on your phone than what its designed/intended.
You need to wait for your phone to get its OTA update notification. Then uninstall Xposed if you have it installed. Un-root by running KDZ for the CURRENT software version you have. Then take the OTA update. Then make your own proper system image (Step 1). Then using Ubuntu to inject root into the system image you made (Step 2). Lastly, root your phone with the rooted image you made (Step 3).
Any LG G4 can be rooted as long as you know what software version you have and can follow directions. Question I have for you is what software version do you have? Is it rooted? Do you have Xposed installed?
This thread will guide you through on how to do it, especially since you might need to make your own rooted image. Just READ all of it and FOLLOW all the directions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
If you decide to root, remember to KEEP an image on your phone in case you get stuck on a bootloop tinkering with phone. Can then easily flash that image. Especially if a current KDZ for your software is not out.
Good luck

Why would Verizon ever send an update to non verizon users? You need to have a Verizon SIM card in your phone to be detected by verizon and receive the update I believe.

Hi Fellow XDA members. I have a stock 11A Verizon LG G4 and I am not a Verizon customer (switched from Verizon to T-Mobile pay as you go plan since I do not need the data plan). When I check for system update in my phone, it says I have the latest updates already installed. What can I do to get around this issue? Can I use the 13B KDZ to update my phone software or will that brick my phone? Please help. Thanks.

There seems to be some confusion..
Basically the question here is I have a Verizon LG G4 VS986(Running stock 11a) but using it with a different SIM card and thus stuck on 11a.
So is it possible to manually flash 13b kdz to upgrade to 13b
I know I am asking it again but just want to be sure as there are 2 opinions here in the thread.

That is good to know. Someone else posted on another forum saying they tried it, were having problems and it did not work. But glad to see it does. I think he and a few others thought it made sense that 13B KDZ is a full package that would update kernel and bootloader to latest version no matter the previous software version, but wanted to play it safe and not brick anyones phone.

Hi Guys,
I tried rooting my Marhsmallow LG G4 now and I couldn't get passed the step where you type in "ID" in accordance with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765.
I read somewhere that it was because I upgraded to MarshMallow.
Now - I want to know - If I downgrade to Lollipop can I follow the above root again and it will work?
Thanks!
Yeah.its possible. I returned lollipop from mm using LG up. Used to inject root and I'm using currently my g4 with root access.my recommend try to inject root. You don't need to open bootloader lock.
