[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.

Hello, autorec for g3 exists only for 5.0.x
however the right way would be:
1. download twrp manager from playstore
2. flash twrp using twrp manager
OR
1. download flashify from playstore
2. download twrp foe d850, extract the zip
3. inside the extracted files there is recovery.img, flash it using flashify
use quickboot to reboot to recovery
note that these ways are only for 4.4.2
you´re welcome, there will be new users who also aren´t familiar with the procedure and you can point them to the right direction, too.
Cheers

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.

OK. I understand. I'll do it. Thanks for your help.

I have the same problem. Lost root after AOSP 6.0.1
I tried to flash the latest supersu zip 2.76 and got secure booting error and stuck on LG logo. Please help.

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.

LG G3 D852 (Rogers) Lollipop 5.0.1 Quesiton about TWRP flashing

So I was able to successfully root Lollipop using the one click tool. Now I am confused how to get TWRP in Lollipop. The autorec tool is dead and doesn't work anymore even with APKs found online. How do I flash TWRP? I tried using Flashify and the latest D852 3.0.2 TWRP image and it ended up bricking my recovery and forcing me to go back to KitKat firmware to fix it. What should I do? I want to install Fulmics MM ROM but I need TWRP on Lollipop firmware first.
Please help.

install via adb

You can fin a working autorec in the download section:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/canadian-d852-stock-bumped-rooted-rom-t3056843
It says mm on the filename but worked with lolipop... at least for me.

Hello,
I have a similar situation. I bricked my recovery and now I'm stuck with Lollipop and no custom recovery.
How did you go down to KitKat? Which file did you use?
I am with Fido and need all the help I could get to be able to restore my phone.
Thank you,

Trying to flash LG G3 D852 Virgin Mobile with TWRP

Hi, I can't seem to find a TWRP version specifically for the LG G3 Virgin Mobile model LG-D852 (FCC ID: ZNFD850). Which recovery image should I use? I've flashed the Bell TWRP image but when trying to boot to recovery I get an error. Phone boots normally otherwise.
Is this model somehow incompatible for some reason?
If so, is there another way to get LineageOS on the LG G3 Virgin Mobile D852 (perhaps through Download Mode)?
Is the hardware actually D852, or is it a D850 according to the FCC ID ZNFD850 and other markings on the phone which say "D850 0821", and under the battery which is etched "D850"? The mainboard also says "EAX65784001_1.0_D850_MAIN (2)"
(Edit) I have read that it is indeed a D852 even with the D850 markings, but still can't seem to boot to TWRP with the D852 IMG flashed (method is via adb su, dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery)

maybe you haven't bumped the recovery
try this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/recovery-unofficial-multirom-twrp-artx-t3657524
I also use the d852 roger, and this worked fine

Thanks for the reply! I did go here: http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lg_g3/bump/
I downloaded twrp-2.8.0.0_d852-signed.img, zeroed out the recovery and then flashed the image, and still get this error (Boot Verification Fail!!) when I try entering recovery:
https://imgur.com/a/MyIbx
I will try the image from your link
(edit) I tried the image from your link (TWRP_Artx-v1_d852.IMG), same issue, boot verification fail.
Do I also need to factory reset the phone after flashing TWRP to get recovery to boot properly? Does it matter at all that I'm using Marshmallow?

Using Marshmallow does matter since all TWRP for LG G3 can only be flashed to a Kitkat bootloader. You can use the AutoRec app to downgrade your bootloader to Kitkat, but the link for d852 marshmallow seems dead (here is the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/apk-flash-twrp-autorec-thanks-to-t3081396). If you can find and install the app, then you can use it to install TWRP normally. Otherwise you have to downgrade to Kitkat to install TWRP. Strongly suggest you use the TWRP artx , it does not make the phone hot like the official, also have faster backup speed.

Thanks, I've been hunting for this file (wli.arecmm852 apk) for 5 hours now and still no luck, I will keep searching. It is probably my only hope, as a downgrade to lollipop seems unlikely, I can't find a kdz/tot that will flash with the Virgin Mobile D852.
I've tried flashing the bell D852 Lollipop recovery image to downgrade but it always fails. I have the right DLL installed and have tried the LG Flash Tool as well as the LG Update tool.
I am currently going to try to PM @Dene_Bluesman to try and see if they still have the AutoRec Marshmallow apk.

Solved!!
Autorec for MM D852 has been tracked down: https://mega.nz/#F!rtI1naZT!LJIKUVpv8fYjrvhpykA4_A!2o433RBZ
And works: https://imgur.com/a/s7KwB
Thanks, @Dene_Bluesman and @bender_007 and @Never_Sm1le !
I thought I was out of luck, but finally found it. I hope this will help others who are having trouble with their Virgin Mobile D852.
Steps I did to flash TWRP:
1. Installed KingRoot, which rooted my phone.
2. Installed AutoRec MM D852, ran it, and followed onscreen directions.
That's it! Now onto Lineage OS.
Thanks again all!
