Rooted VZW LG G2 Hard Resetting Question

I have rooted Verizon G2 running with custom recovery. The other way, I accidentally updated it through OTA and it kept going into recovery loop.
I fixed that issue with help from this forum and reverted back to stock (4.4.2) using KDZ method. However, the OTA notification keep coming back up.
My question here is if I hard reset my phone, would it go back to the original factory setting? I just want to reset the whole thing and go back to the original factory setting and then update it through OTA. What is the best way to do this?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Thanks for your advice. So I guess, I can't just hard reset the rooted phone and go back to the original factory setting?

No... a "hard reset" will wipe out data, cache, and dalvik, root is stored in /system which is not touched in FDR.

(SOLVED)No mobile data when flashing ANY ROM (data only works with the ROM I'm on)

T-Mobile
Decrypted
Rooted
Latest boot loader and firmware
Latest TWRP
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??

Nah I got rid of that. It looks like I'm gonna have to fastboot flash the factory image.
It just baffles me that my current ROM has no issues whatsoever and connects right away after a restore

Try pulling out the Sim card And reinserting if the apn weren't there, where did you get set up info? Do you have screen shot

SIM card pull doesn't work with or without reboot. I checked the APN s and they're fine. (There's 3 for T-Mobile + the one for metro PCs)

Have you tried a flash of the radio?

I did not, but a clean wipe does not touch the radio. The radio is there,; it's just not connecting to it ( I checked baseband)

OP, the same thing has happened to me (and I'm on Verizon). I'm on Euphoria and flashing any other ROM makes me lose data, same thing.

True a clean flash doesn't, but in some of the other ROM threads, some say that helped.

I went to sleep, lol.
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

well, that radio will work, its an older radio though. yes, radio needs to be flashed, as of right now you are missing one.
---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------
you would need to unlock your bootloader to flash via fastboot, or to flash twrp recovery to flash a .zip.

with restore " twrp backup of the efs partition" will fix the problem
is there anyone help me to upload some twrp backup please.....

If you did not backup your own efs from the phone you are trying to fix, no one else is going to be able to help. You need your own back up

If it is true, what you've said about not doing anything to your phone, then perhaps you need a new Sim card. However, when someone says "I don't remember if I did anything" I have serious doubt that you haven't done something. You don't mess with a $650 device and not "remember" doing it.

Looking back, your first post says you're rooted and unlocked. Then you said phone is stock and locked. ??? No one can help you if you don't provide factual information.

i said the phone on stok when this happen (lose imei & baseband)
and now rooted and unlocked bootloader when i started to fix it...
tried flash another stok, baseband, etc need to be unlocked bootloader rite?
actually im not sure if this caused lose imei&baseband,
i have tried factory reset, but the process take to long (more than 20minutes), i think the process error or something, than i tried hard reset by pushed power + vol down,
after that the phone boot and continuou erasing data, and the process looks like never end again
hard reset again and tried factory reset from recovery mode, this time i leave the phone about 1 hour, than finally phone boot
corrupt process on factory reset, is it possible caused lose the imei &baseband?

The factory reset on a 64gb will take 20 or more minutes. By forcing a restart before it completed, you may have caused the error.
This is the kind of information that is needed for those that wish to help. It is proper XDA procedure to provide as much information as possible when creating a thread such as this. We are not mind readers or magicians.

I understand that you would like to get your problem solved ASAP, but please read what people post. You CAN NOT restore another persons TWRP backup. It will either screw up your device even more or it just wont work. You need your own TWRP backup, which you don't have so TWRP is out of the question.
At this point your only hope is to flash all the stock images from fastboot. It's a relatively easy process as long as you read and try to understand what you're trying to do, and for gods sake don't try to use one of the toolkits to do this.

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

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.

Help with custom rom

Good night. Has anyone noticed the flashing of the cell network signal when using custom ROM? Sometimes even the signal disappears completely as if it did not have a chip and does not give a network being that return the operation just by restarting. If someone has already experienced this and has the solution, please report it. I have already used all the customs for the x4 bike and they all stay that way.
appreciate

What custom ROM are you using?
How did you install it?
Did you use the partitions zip before installing the ROM?

dougo007 said:

Any custom ROM.
How did you install it?
Boot to TWRP.
Flash copy partition
Swipe to factory reset
Boot back to TWRP recovery
flash Rom + TWRP zip
Boot back to TWRP recovery
Flash GApps
Wipe Cache + Dalvik
Reboot to System

Yes, i do it.

Ok; you're steps appear correct.
A thought occurred to me and this is easier to do than anything else.
Are you having any issue with the SIM card?
Is it making good contact?
Are you using Google Fi by chance?

Payton PPW29.69-26. I already used itnup tobGoogle FI, but the problem came up.

I suggest trying one of the solutions here: https://www.technobezz.com/fix-no-signal-android/
They recommend to first restore your phone to stock, make sure you get the right variant.

Just try to flash another radio (modem) . I had similar issues with RETBR modem ) Now I`m using FI modem and everything is OK (Havoc 2.1 ROM)
