[Q] GPS issues - Verizon LG G2

I had TWRP installed. Recently installed Euphoria-OS-1.1-20150414 but like other 5.1.1 roms it was having issues with the Double Tap to Wake. Euphoria-OS-1.1-20150528 came out and was supposed to fix the Double Tap to Wake issue. It does but it introduced a new bug. I can no longer get a GPS lock on my phone. Tried [5.1.1][39A]cm-12-20150518-temasek, but again no luck. I reflashed back to a VS980-39A-LP-OTA-Debloated but the GPS is still not working.
Finally got sick of not having GPS and just went straight stock with LG's Flash tool and the VS98012B_00.kdz and then did OTA upgrades back to 39A. Not rooted anymore, straight stock. Still no freaking GPS?! "GPS Test" app says "No Fix" and shows that there are "28 In View" but none "In Use"... GPS was working before the initial flash. I am only trying this in "Device only Mode" as I want to make sure that the GPS itself is working.
I would love to get a copy of your working /system/etc/gps.conf
and any ideas that you have to get this going again...

Apparently you joined the group of the VZW G2 with GPS issues. If you returned to pure stock and still nothing, can't think of anything else. Did you did anything physically to the phone?

Not anything differently than I had done before. I just found it very strange that it quit working when I went to Euphoria and now I cannot get it back. Flashing with KDZ file erases the entire device correct? Nothing should be able to make it through?

It's not Euphoria that caused the problem. I tried Euphoria before, and my GPS works fine right now (no need for .kdz).
It depends on which option you choose when going the .kdz route. If you choose "Normal Flash" mode, then it will not wipe data, but if you choose "CSE Flash" mode, then it will wipe everything.
Currently I'm running my own build of PAC MAN Rom, and everything is working fine, maybe you should try that Rom out.

The newest Euphoria update seems to have no lock for GPS on several users devices. I fully do not think it broke it permanently.
I did a normal Flash. I will try the "CSE Flash" mode and see if that helps. Thanks!

Tried the "CSE Flash" back to 39A and am still not getting a lock. I am at a loss...
I attached GPS Test app and GPS Status screenshots. Any other advice? I really don't want to take the thing apart...

It could be that your gps sensor doesn't work anymore. I just went back to stock 39A from Pac man rom, and I get 3D Fix and satellite connection:

I dont think that it just died. I know that the fuse for locked/unlocked bootloader is one way, but cant be this case. That rom touched something and hopefully can be reverted. How? No clue

Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong place, XDA won't let me post to the mahdi thread because I'm new.
I clean flashed the 6/28 Mahdi Rom for my Vs980 and audio didn't work whatsoever. Everything else was fine. Here are a couple of examples of what I mean:
Poweramp play button will be clickable but will return an error and revert to the play button
Youtube will constantly prepare to play (load, attemp to play then continue to load again)
Placing phone calls results in a black screen, then call ended screen 20 seconds later
Receiving phone calls don't show up, rings once (on the phone placing the call not my vs980) then goes to voicemail
Volume up and down doesn't give tones.
Apollo player gives "DSP manager crashed" errors
I tried freezing DSP manager, but that didn't work.
I should also mention I didn't restore using titanium, I tried reflashing 3 or 4 times, and I used the PA 4.4.4 gapps.
I can't find anyone else with this issue, hopefully someone knows what's up.
Thanks for helping if you respond!

Have you tried a different rom? One specifically for our service. I know Mahdi is compatible, but just to see.

Yes I have, I'm currently running a 4.4.2 build of Mahdi that works fine (2.4-g2-20140211). It's just the 6/25 and 6/28 that have the audio issues for me.

Huh, that's weird. You probably can't post in that for trouble shooting, so have you tried a different gapps? Maybe PA is doing something? Banks gapps is an excellent package (just keep the convo going so you can hit 10 posts).

How did you get to 24A? If it was from an OTA its the stock modem. Post a picture of your baseband if you can

The current build you're on where everything works shouldn't even boot if you're on 24A. As old as that build is(2.4), its still using the JB kernel, requiring the 12b radio. I think you should go to the Malladus thread, download his baseband updater, and the ROM. And flash that. It should straighten out whatever happened. Some sound drivers are tied in with the modem/baseband for some reason on KK. That's what makes me think something with the baseband is messed up. I think I have the Malladus stuff in my Dropbox if you want links. After you get a good GPS lock in maps with Malladus. Then flash the newest build of Mahdi, not the 2.4 build you're running.

First question, are you using TWRP? The wipe instructions below are for TWRP
Here's the ROM https://copy.com/PDixihCzNxqLSBp
Here's the baseband updater https://copy.com/mVY1Qi2cVg3EgXS and the md5 is 941f657383ab5a6ddc8c6f4c0ee4183c make sure t matches before you flash.
Reboot to recovery and flash the baseband updater. Then hit the back button. Select wipe -> advanced wipe. Select dalvik, cache, system, data. Be absolutely sure you don't select internal. Flash Malladus and whatever gapps you prefer.

Yes, actually download maps and ensure it get a GPS lock on you. Then reboot to recovery, go to advanced wipe and select dalvik, cache, system, and data. Then flash the newest mahdi and the newest patch. The ROM is 6-28 and the patch is V6 I believe. Then gapps. You should be good to go then.

You'll get one. No need to worry about not getting one. You just have to do it because sometimes coming from 12B JB source, the sensors won't calibrate correctly on a ROM with true KK source. But I'm not really sure what you could do if you don't to be honest. You should get a lock fairly quick though. Just make sure location is on high accuracy and it will lock

Already showing up on my G2. Don't want to update. Afraid it will break root & hotspot!

Ive got it too, has anyone downloaded it yet?

With 24A my signal went down. I had better reception before KitKat OTA. Waiting for reposrts on 25B and then I'll use flashable zips from xdaddeb.

can u point me to his thread where he puts those up?

I installed it and didn't lose root, but now my NFC is buggy as its keeps turning itself off when I turn the screen off, but then turns it self back on, then goes away and finally turns back on, but that is causing a lot lag when it does that, so I have to go back to 24A to stop it, thanks so damn much Verizon.. Also I may have to do a factory reset, as I'm not seeing the volte in the options either, is that normal?

Is anyone on 25B seeing ART available in the developer options or VoLTE in the mobile networks settings page?
I see neither.

XDABBEB hasn't made an OTA zip to my knowledge and there's no real reason for one. He makes a ROM based on stock and he'll get the 25b version out eventually. The main reason to have a custom recovery is to flash custom ROMs. If you don't want a custom ROM, just root and keep the stock recovery so you can use certain apps and still take OTAs...like many do. You can return to stock (about 10 min if pc not setup) then take the OTAs and then root. Though I'd root at 24a and then take the OTA because AT&Ts latest update (5 Sep) can't be rooted with towelroot (yet) but keeps root.

I cannot for the love of me acquire data even though status bar says T-Mobile after flashing any AOSP or stock based ROM. Tried with clean flash or dirty flash.
All apns are present and I properly select fast.t mobile. Phone shows as registered with network.
Data only works on Pure Shamu 3.5. After I nandroid back to Pure Shamu data activates right away.
Any ideas or has anyone seen this??

Edit: Just tried flashing latest radio; no luck. I guess the next step is doing a full flash back to stock on the phone...bummer.
Annnnnddd flashing stock gets data on stock but not on the ROMs. Hm. It seems only stock based ROMs work

bump...anyone else experiencing this or know what's going on? I'm stuck on stock now.

I wonder if the latest TWRP has something to do with it, cause i had no issues until last week

I can no longer write any custom roms to my N6. Started with PURE 3.5 but now effects any rom i try to flash. I have brought my N6 back to factory state multiple times even relocking it. Only thing I can do is Fastboot flash N6 image from google manually piece by piece. I do have working 5.01 and phone works. Roms either hang or have errors. or just write the boot.img file. TWRP works other wise i can backup and restore, I am using 2.8.3.1. I have searched all over for a fix....

There used to be some weird mounting stuff that would make roms not boot. Thought that was worked out in pure shamu 3.1 ish.
Where do the roms hang? Did you ever fix permissions using twrp? Any kind of log you can pull?

I had no problem updating Pure for over a month from like 2.0 to 3.4.
they all hang when writing to system as far as i can tell. happens regardless of Pure....from a fresh clean image of 5.0 or 5.01 i can not flash any roms. driving me nutzo....i can no longer flash pure 3.4 either but i can restore the phone from a nandroid backup i had on my pc and run Pure 3.4 just fine.

Did you wipe everything except internal storage first? I had this issue earlier until I realized that I forgot to do that when coming from the stock ROM.

It doesn't make sense considering you also flashed back to stock. Have you also tried to flash a ROM from your PC rather than from your phone? There has to be some reasonable explanation for why it's not working.

how do you do that? the custom roms dont have system.img file like N6 image. The Pure 3.92 is in .dat format, another rom is folders. I also get checksum errors when extracting.
I also noticed in the last 24 hours there are 2 other threads with people have almost the same issues flashing roms. I think it has something to do with TWRP but no matter becuase no version works for me.

If you restore your stock recovery on your phone you could try this.
Make sure TWRP is not installed on your phone and that the stock recovery is installed and working:
Have TWRP in your platform tools folder named however you want
Then use "fastboot boot recovery 'whatever you named TWRP' "
This will boot TWRP without installed it. Then try to flash the ROM using TWRP. You can also use the"adb push" to sideload the ROM onto your phone so you can find it via TWRP.

nope did not work.....roms just hang or flash new boot.img only.
i even tried erasing recovery partion and reflashing stock than twrp 2.8.3.1......that did not work either....something is stopping TWRP from writing to system.
thanks for your help

No obviously not look, but if you have other issues (in assuming you might if you can't flash a ROM) then that's the worst case scenario option.

This is a tough one cause if his factory image works without issues they're gonna have no reason to send him a replacement

That's true, but there must be something wrong if he can't flash anything else so I'm sure he could find some issues.

I assume you are also out of the return window. Well if you are unlucky or lucky (depending on how you view it) you could have an issue eventually. They will RMA for burn in, camera issues etc... The camera issue was common in the earlier production models that I had. There should be another method, I would look into it if you have time.

I had a custom ROM till sunday because I lost wifi, so I flash another rom same issu, did a restore and got back to factory state and wifi started workign again, I just unlock the booatloader to do a root and again no wifi, any ideas (Nexus Sprint)

Reboot your router. Bootloader should have no effect on WiFi.

As @Evolution_Tech told you, bootloader unlock has absolutely no effect on WiFi. Whatever you do to solve this problem, DO NOT RELOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER!
And the fact that your WiFi works on stock ROM, but not custom ROM, tells us something (I'm just not sure what).

Well, I'm not saying that the relocked cause the issue, I'm just saying what I have done before it started happening in fact just saw another thread that is having the same problem...last night I l rooted again the and again no WiFi, so I got back to stock and guess what no WiFi , so something is wrong

BTW my phone rebooted itself and now I have WiFi again...this is really weird

Out of interest, what do you mean by "no wifi"? That's not a helpful description of the problem.

ok WiFi option wont turn on, it hangs and never get activated

its a problem of error in files consisting in "persist" folder that are responsible for wifi
reflash stock rom

Probably should test immediately after unlock and root.

Well, your experiments point to the ROM. I'd suggest restore your backup of stock, get WiFi working again. Then try a different ROM.

If it works on stock, rooted... That's what you need to confirm.
Ensure you full wipe when flashing a custom rom. Try another rom and don't let google download or restore any setting during set up of the new rom.
