Hi all,
Long time lurker of XDA and Android user/modder since before Gingerbread. I want to apologize in advance if this post is either in the wrong section, and/or if something similar has already been answered/solved in another thread. I did multiple searches with nothing coming up as a direct hit, or even close for that matter.
I recently purchased an S4 from VZW (Mid-Late July). I rooted and installed TWRP 5.2.0.2 (Forgive me if that's not the exact version...) and flashed AOSP ROMs here and there. After a month or so, I started coming across an issue within all ROMs where I couldn't receive or make calls without my phone either freezing or rebooting. Anything I flashed, or modded, failed to remedy this. I tried different GApps packages, 4.2.2 and 4.3 ROMs, different kernels, and both radios, and absolutely NOTHING solved this. I searched everywhere (Even rootzwiki, forgive me fellow XDA members!), and could not find anyone with the same issue.
I attempted upgrading to TWRP 2.6.0.0 and even tried CWM, and that didn't help either. Eventually, things got so bad that I couldn't boot into ANY ROM, 4.2.2 or 4.3. After nearly 10 hours of trying to unbrick my phone, I finally managed to install Beanstalk 4.3, and while it was working incredibly buggy (Not Beanstalk's fault, the developer is a great developer!) nor could I make calls, I could still send texts and emails. I was able to FINALLY get the Odin3 application to work when I got home from work, and was able to flash the stock MDK image. From there I followed the steps to properly root and install TWRP 2.6.0.0. I installed Slim's Beta 5 4.3 ROM and GApps and everything was working properly! Calling, everything! However, when I made a reboot, it froze. Stuck in the "Samsung Unlocked" screen for over an hour. I pulled the battery, booted into recovery and did a factory reset/cache and dalvik wipe. It still didn't boot. From there I did a full wipe, and data format, installed Beanstalks newest 4.3 ROM and GApps, and everything loaded properly. Then I couldn't make or receive calls without the same issue. I then did the superwipe/format and installed PAC's newest nightly and GApps package, and was able to make calls, but then got stuck when rebooting, even after factory resets and cache/dalvik wipes. After multiple attempts, I gave up and reflashed the stock MDK Samsung image in Odin3 and am leaving it as is until someone here can help me.
I know this post was incredibly wordy, and I apologize for that, but I wanted to give you guys as much information as possible and explain where this all started, as it may lead to why I'm having these problems. I appreciate any and all responses and I will answer any question any of you have to the best of my ability. Please someone save me from the horror that is TouchWiz!

First, make a NANDROID if it is working perfect on the stock ROM. This is my first step after root and recovery so that I can always fall back on something to check if there is a hardware problem, or just some sort of (system) file problem. Plus, it'll save you time if you have to go back.
Not sure that it matters, but is the stock ROM odexed, or deodexed?
The calling thing reminds me of when you use the phone overseas but it has yet to be unlocked. When you root, do you check with Root Checker? Do you have SuperSU installed? How about BusyBox? I know some items require BusyBox in order to work, but SuperSU should be installed.
As far as SuperSU, do you update it before switching back to the original kernel? One thing I noted is to be absolutely sure you do so in order to not lose your root when completing the rooting steps. I imagine this could cause other problems too.
I also suggest not using TWRP 2.6, which many people will tell you is quite buggy. Best to use the previous version.
The only other things I can suggest is ALWAYS doing a full wipe of everything before adding a new ROM. I used to do this to be sure I incurred no problems on my SGS3, because if I didn't there would always be something buggy happening.
Hope this helps.

Thank you, Heatshiver!
I always do a full wipe unless I'm doing a dirty flash for a ROM update. I will try reverting back to TWRP 2.5.0.2 (Whichever version that happens to be, I think it's .0.2) tonight and report my results. Also, just to clarify, I always make sure I have the most updated SuperSU/Superuser (Usually the former) and BusyBox.
I appreciate the suggestion.

sorry for your troubles, but I am always baffled the way people just toss that word "brick" round
Your phone was no anywhere NEAR being a brick...
You simply are playing with fire flashing AOSP ROMs and not knowing how to fix the issues.
AOSP ROMs aren't technically "made" for our phones, the developers do a great job at making it seem like they are, though.
On the SG3 we had an EFS backup that Synergy discovered incase you flash an AOSP and get stuck in roaming which was quite often at first with AOSP, that was easy to fix, but with this phone I would be careful with AOSP ROMs, even myself, with a locked bootloader wouldn't flash anything besides TW, although I am biased as AOSP is my flavor.
I am sorry if this post comes off harsh or any other bad word. It's not meant for that..
Just to kindly ask you to do some research on what a "bricked phone" truly is.
it's a brick.. meaning won't power on, won't get a light when charging, nothing, your phone is just that, a $600 brick. and the only way to bring back to life IIRC is Jtagging the phone.. which requires taking the phone apart and jtagging the motherboard.
I hope you the best my friend.
As much as I love AOSP, I would have to agree with the poster above. I know TW is a pain but there are some pretty good ROMs in that flavor that you shouldn't have any problems with. I've had the no call issue on AOSP, and even though they are nice and free up quite a bit of room it's not worth missing calls over or constantly flashing. Maybe once our bootloader is unlocked things will become different but I'd stick with TW until that happens. I can confirm that TWRP 2.6 is very buggy...you'll have to download the 2.5 version and flash it instead of goomanager they install they latest version everytime I believe.

You also may want to try CWM recovery if everything else fails. I like TWRP but I kept having the exact problem you have. I switched and haven't had a problem since.

Would you mind telling me which version of CWM you're using? I haven't gone back to CWM since I went back to stock two nights ago.
Thank you for the idea!

I also forgot to mention that I haven't been able to connect to 4G radios since before I started having issues with AOSP ROMs. Currently I'm on Eclipse's TW (With AOSP Styling) ROM. Everything appears to be working fine, other than 4G.
I've tried the SIM pull and reset, and nothing. I've tried manually setting it to LTE only, at least when I was able to do so when AOSP ROMs would boot for me, and nothing. I have a Galaxy Nexus that I booted up with this SIM in and I get 4G signal. Any Ideas?
Also, when I was on the stock image (MDK) I didn't have 4G either.
Has anyone else run across this issue? (MODS: Let a me know if I should create another thread, or search more intensively. I haven't seen a thread with this exact same situation. Plenty of 4G issue threads, but none with the same issues I've previously had, and I think it may have something to do with my past modding.)

Hi all,
I'd like to thank everyone for the suggestions.
An update: Currently I'm on Eclipse's TW v2.0 ROM (TW, with AOSP Styling) and everything works properly. My current recovery is CWM 6.0.3.6 Touch, and I'm not experiencing any booting or calling issues. 4G is the only thing I don't have working.
I'm hoping that someone with my same problem can give me another idea so I can get an AOSP ROM working, preferably with 4G. I'm sure some, if not most, understand my dislike of TouchWiz and strong preference towards stock Android/stock Android based ROMs. Slim6596 said that he uses Philz Modded CWM Recovery and has no issues anymore. Could that really be my solution?
Again, thank you all for your help and ideas. I love XDA for this reason.

I believe you have to do the extended phone function. Its a code on the dial pad and select cdma. I have read this but don't recall where.

Are you referring to the *#*#4636#*#* dialer code? I didn't even try that because in my settings, everything was set to CDMA, but that's something I can try. I have everything backed up, so I can just wipe, install, and try that. If it doesn't work, I can always revert back.

Music from SD Card
I just flashed the rom on my e970 and everything works including the phone seeing the SD Card but I can't get any music player to read the music that is on the sd card. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Use sd scanner app from play store, that works fine for me.
Will this support Mod kernels? I think that's what I want to say but I'm not a complete Android geek.... Yet
2g-3g switch problem
I can't switch to WCDMA from gsm. It only receives 2g signals.
When I try to launch mobile networks , it crashes.
I couldn't locate the modem settings in engineering mode either.

Upgrading to CM12 Lollipop
Hi, I'm trying to upgrade to Lollipop from this ROM and at first while flashing the CM12 zip i encountered the error "This zip is intended for gee, geeb" etc. So, I tweaked the updater-script and removed the assert and ran the script which installed the ROM but I'm unable to install the Google Apps. I tried with all gapps packages (minimal, micro, full), but none of them works. Can you please help me out?
Does this have anything to do with build.prop? Even though I flashed the fix to show as ATT e970, the CM12 updater-script identified this device as "geehrc4g"??Also, build.prop has some lines like
ro.com.google.cliendidbase.am=android-kt-kr
ro.com.google.cliendidbase.am=android-kt-kr
Do you know where can I find the exact build.prop for e970 (Kitkat)?
Device: LG - e970
Recovery: TWRP 2.8.3.0
is all good w the e971 and this rom?
Hi, just wondering how everything functions on the e971 with this rom? Flashing roms is new to me and am so bummed to finally receive word from Rogers there will be no official update for this device which is in my opinion unacceptable buying a flagship device and getting only 1 update for it 6 months later when the phone manufacturer has updated it, I'm done with them, anyways some help would be appreciated as I need my phone to function properly, I am on official JB 4.1.2 from Rogers, I have unlocked the device to be used with any carrier, now I am planning on rooting using the zv9-zvb universal root method, i was then planning on unlocking bootloader using freegee and then using freegee to install cwm phils touch and then gonna install this rom, anyways are those the propper steps and if I so will all functions of my e971 work as they should with this rom?
Also if i need to go back will it be as easy as downloading paulicats rogers 4.1.2 zip and using cwm to install it and revert back? Any help would be greatly appreciated and if your ever in my neck a the woods I'll buy ya a beer. Thanks.
Working fine for me
This is my first android device so I was attempting this for the first time, I was on Stock JB. First I Rooted the phone(universal root kit), unlocked its boot loader(app from playstore), was taken to cwm, tried to flash the ROM it didn't work a status 7 error occurred, then I flashed philz recovery, flashed the ROM again and its working fine.
I am new to this android world so this may sound noob but is there a way to backup my apps only so that I don't have to re install them every time I flash a new ROM. (Will be trying a lot of roms from now).
lg optimus g e971

how to flash e970 stock ROM!
I tried it by installing zip via cwm recovery but it says error in zip.
Flawless Installation
I just installed this ROM on my LG Optimus G E971 and the entire installation was simple and flawless. Prior to this ROM, I had [ROM][5.1.1] [GEEB] [Mako base] Unofficial CM-12.1 which is a great ROM too, however, I wanted to try something that was based on stock. I have the latest version of CWM for LG Optimus G E971.
This is how I installed the following ROM:
1. Downloaded the ROM onto my phone
2. Booted into CWM recovery
3. Wiped data/factory reset
4. Wiped cache Partition
5. Installed ROM
6. Rebooted
Once I have used this ROM as my daily driver for a while, I will get back and share my opinion and thoughts about it.
I stumbled on to this rom and I must say it is very good. There are only two issues I am having that hopefully someone can help me out with. The first issue is an annoying data network setting prompt that happens when I boot up which tells me that I will incur additional data charges. There is a setting under mobile networks that is checked called "ask when data connected" Whenever I try to uncheck it it reverts back to being checked. The second is under access point names. There are two other apn there that I cannot delete for some reason. Does anyone have any ideas how I can resolve these issues?

but id really love to install KK on my e973.

Could anyone advise me with the prerequisites, tools and steps?

Re flash the Rom, flash any 4.4.4 gapps, flash pollution patch.
1) boot in to recovery
2) wipe cache and dalvik cache.
3) install beanstalk
4) Flash gapps
5) flash pollution patch
hope this helps
I just installed this following the instructions, and I'm having some sort of problem with vibrations....there just aren't any type of vibrations at all? When I adjust volume down all the way, it just goes from volume to mute (usually it goes volume down->vibrate->mute all). No vibrations from apps that are supposed to vibrate. No vibrate on notifications. No vibration options anywhere. No haptic feedback.
Am I missing something?
Love the ROM. my OG Note is back to use, thanks to you.
I use my i717 in class as my management tool. Timer, classdojo, GVoice for parents, presentation remote, and even as note taker for my disabled students.
As I teach, I love being able to hand off my phablet to a student to do a small task. They love it too. I tried the Users section to make a teacher account and a student account. It has a lot of crashing and it resets my original account (factory wipe, I guess).
What should I do?
Thanks in advance.

I have a samsung galaxy note i717 ATT I installed CyanogenMod, wiped everything 3 times, (of course made a backup of my original which i had to restore) i installed beanstalk 4.4.4 quincyatt for the i717, then i did gapps 4.4.4 (i cant remember which one) and i cant sync my gmail account. i then flashed another gapps and google play kept crashing so i flashed back to where it wouldnt sync. once i got off work I had to restore back to my original att setup which i hate and its slow :/ I love how the 4.4.4 ran. if anyone recommends a better rom for my note please let me know or how I can fix this. I am a complete newbie to this but im learning. Atleast I didnt brick my phone yet lol. I also used odin to install CM.

I hope I gave enough information and thank you guys in advance. Hopefully I can learn some more about this, it's pretty interesting. My next step is to learn to customize my boot loader. I also used a patch "Polluti0ns_rom_patch_v2.zip and I checked all the options not sure if I was supposed to lol but it fixed my screen flickering and I used to to change the bootloader to "Blue Flame" which looked like smoke on water. It was better than the ATT junk though lol and looked neat.

I hope I gave enough information and thank you guys in advance. Hopefully I can learn some more about this, it's pretty interesting. My next step is to learn to customize my boot loader. I also used a patch "Polluti0ns_rom_patch_v2.zip and I checked all the options not sure if I was supposed to lol but it fixed my screen flickering and I used to to change the bootloader to "Blue Flame" which looked like smoke on water. It was better than the ATT junk though lol and looked neat.

I'm not on this at the moment but I have used beanstalk previously and do not recall any major issues. I used gimmeitorilltell's TWRP recovery (the unofficial one) to flash. I generally use a minimal gapps for kitkat. If you don't need more, I say, don't install more. (Though loading a full gapps puts apps in system where they don't eat up sdcard space like they do when downloaded from the Play store).

I found that the 4.3 ran smoother than the 4.4 build.

Is this ROM vulnerable to Stagefright? Any custom roms have this fixed yet?

Nope. Could find only old gapps
terribly sorry about the brain fart. whole problem arose because i didnt flash the correct gapps . got the gapps from xda and now its working well. but i am getting a pop up saying that google play services have not been installed on your computer etc...
will this problem go away if i just install the google play services apk?
edit : after flashing the proper gapps, an update from the play store solved everything. Now running smoothly.
since i updated to cm12,go power master has not been able to turn data off when the screen turns off. this was working flawlessly in kitkat. even the go power master widget is not working. thought there might be a problem with root,so flashed supersu 2.40 from recovery. but still it isnt working. any idea what the problem might be?

Has the app been updated to support LP? At times in the past, access for 3rd party apps to stuff like data connection, which requires root, sometimes changes functionality with version upgrades. Don't know if that's the case in this circumstance, but it's something to look into.
Performance drop
Flashed this rom with fulll wipe. Works well, but sometimes performance *drops* happens. It becomes VERY slow, like CPU speed drops down to 128mhz. I had the same problem on cm 11.
Who knows how to fix it?
Looking great and functions great but I am getting terrible battery life due to "miscellaneous" or "Cellular Standby" according to battery stats.

Any ideas how to fix my issue with the BT mac address being changed to "00:00:00:00:5A:AD"? I had the wrong address on CM11 also but it was a different incorrect address and I was able to fix it.

Video call issue
Video call isn't working in both skype and viber. Skype app is crashing as soon as I turn video on. Viber just doesn't turn on the video transmission. Can please somebody report about this issue to CyanogenMod team. I use video calling really often, so this is kind of issue keeps me away from using official CM12 builds. CM11 builds had this issue too and it hasn't got fixed till now.

CM Updates
Settings - About phone - CyanogenMod updates indicates no new updates found despite new updates posted at http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=e970. I switched from unofficial CM12 to official CM12 several updates ago. I'm using the gapps posted here https://s.basketbuild.com/gapps. Is there a setting I need to revise to begin seeing the CM updates on my phone. It's no big deal since I can go to the CM device list and download directly.

Sorry for late answer. I was too busy to post logcats earlier. I hope issues will get fixed.
I installed CM12.0 (1/27 build) but any 5.0 gapps I try fails to flash on the official TWRP 2.8.3.0 for the e970. I've tried bpear, PA, and one other. I can get the ROM to boot, then it gives FC's for every Google App, and the apps are all named by their com. ... name, and say "app not installed" when clicked. I have loaded the zip files over wifi, through adb push, via usb, and through straight download to the device. I've also run them from the external SD and the internal storage.
Is there a different recovery I should be using with this? Will a Nexus 4 recovery work on the e970?

I'm using TWRP 2.8.4.0 recovery. I initially installed the CM12 unofficial rom along with this gapps:
https://s.basketbuild.com/gapps
and had no problem. I switched to official CM12 when announced by Shelnutt2 and have made no changes to gapps. Perhaps give that gapps a try.
Audio calls problem
Hi,
I recently updated my OS from LG's Official 4.1.2 to CM12. Everything seems to be working fine but for making/receiving calls. I am not able to hear or speak over the microphone and speaker outlet unless or until I use a headphones in which case both work properly. Can anyone please help?
Details on my upgrade:
I had backed up my data and downloaded the CM12 zip files with Gapps and SuperUser into my SD card. Once they were ready, I restarted my mobile in Recovery mode and wiped the user data and installed CM12.zip followed by Gapps followed by SuperUser. Then rebooted my mobile and check everything for the working condition. It was working perfectly except for the fact that when I receive phone calls or when I make a phone call once I attend the call, I would not be able to speak to the person or hear the person in normal mode nor in speaker mode. The only way it works is if I use my headphones.
I had installed CM12 01/26/2015 version. And have tried later versions until 01/30 but I do not find that to be fixing. It would be of great help if anyone could help me.
Thanks,
Arun

Make a clean flash (in TWRP wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache and after install cm12 and gapps) and install 84/27 hybrid modem during same recovery session, after reboot to system. Modem issues with e970 are really whimsical. I hope this will help.

Check the replies in the development build. T399 has to download an app specified in the development but people with the T399N seem to have no problems with v23.

The developer Acreaperjb needed people to test the ROM and kireflow seems to have the SGH-T399N while he is meant to develop it for the SGH-T399. Is he now making a hybrid build for both models?

wow
Had the lightwave rom on this before, and it worked well. After a few hrs of running cm i am blown away at the performance. Buttery smooth. Calls crisp, no issues whatsoever aside from the camera. Got xposed on it, gravitybox and greenify working great so far
And just thought I'd try it with the Camera MX from playstore and voila, it works! One picture at least
Bluetooth freezes calling app
Hi everyone, first of all, big thanks to AcreaperJB
I just installed version 0.2.3, overall I really like the ROM, I have two issues with it, really it's just one that I care about, here I go
1 - the big deal) I can't make calls over Bluetooth, after dialing I hear maybe one signal, maybe two if I'm lucky, after that the calling apps freezes, can't finish the call, can't call anybody else, can't hear anything, even turning off Bluetooth won't restore things, I can switch between apps and everything is fine except the calling app it's just stuck until I restart the phone, no more calling basically
2 - the workaround) camera will crash right after taking the photo, won't save the photo, I installed open camera from the play store and it works fine, I know it's a known issue, I just want to confirm it
Things to mention
- I did full install, all the partitions got wiped except the external SD card partition where I kept the ROM
- installation was scary, after installing the ROM it would circle back and forth, it was restarting and it wouldn't let me do anything, as soon as it got to CM wizard it restarted, I had no way to stop it or pause it so after about 10 restarts I gave up and just moved on and left the phone do restarts and I took care of other things around the house, already started thinking on how to go back to the stock rom, after coming back to the phone about two hours later the CM was waiting for me, got so surprised that it got out of the endless loop, i finished the wizard, went into CM and it doesn't restart anymore
thanks again
Uhm
Hey, does anyone know of a fix for the YouTube app? It keeps saying 'an error has occurred touch to retry'
SIM Card not detected?
So I clean installed the dirty v.0.2.3 and when it went to setup it said my sim card wasn't detected. Did I miss something? Does the "dirty" mean I won't get data? I'm new to this and I don't really know what the lingo means. I also can't change the APN's. It says "Access point name not available for this user".
I can't make any phone calls nor send any texts. My cellular data doesn't work either. Wi-fi and everything else works fine. Just the actual service.
Am I missing a step?
I flashed the ROM with twrp 2.8.4.0, I wiped davlick, data, cache, etc. I did the clean install, I don't understand why I am not getting any service or why my sim card isn't detected.
Please help
I need another link to download

Screen going blank upon boot
I tried installing this rom after doing a full backup & then wipe. I made sure to wipe dalvik and cache. I then installed the 0.2.3.zip via TWRP 2.7.1.0 that comes with Light V3 Rom.
Install completed without error but upon boot the setup menu appears and then vanishes. I can get it to display ever-so-briefly by powering the display off/on.
I have a T-Mobile T399 unlocked for use on ATT. Unjustified Devs earlier builds did the same thing but would constantly reboot as well. Your rom doesn't reboot but the screen behaves similarly.
Have you heard of this behavior before, and are there any steps I can take to provide you with diagnostic information?

Answer: CM12-Light BETA for t399n camara workaround.
I have installed cm12 for the Samsung galaxy light t399N.. I am happy to report Everything is working fine! except the stock camera, I tried 7-8 camera apps on the Google play store with no luck, until.... VIOLA, I found one that works. It is called FOTOR. it works now. I have an extra step to deal with but the point is that my phone is now fully functional and running 5.02 lollipop on my METRO PCS t399n. BTW i did not have to edit the apn settings; interestingly, I have an indicator that tells me I have T-Mobil for my carrier.... Thank goodness for the recent merger and switch over to the T-Mobil network, one more problem solved. Hope that helps someone else out there.
thanks
it works
I'm using it a week ago, everythings is ok, only the stock camera not save the photos,
