Troubleshooting
Solutions to various problems
General Issues¶
Please see the bug reporting page if necessary.>
Upon first install device gets stuck at 'Encrypting...' screen
Most devices have duplicate fstab entries in order to allow the user to choose between an ext4 or F2FS /data partition. If you improperly wiped your device beforehand (erased instead of formatted /data) the system won't know what to do and will just hang there. Simply format /data via TWRP or fastboot to fix.
No mobile service
Select the proper APN for your carrier under Settings > Network > Mobile network > Advanced > Access Point Names
Device Specific Issues¶
LG G3: No radio, no sensors, no brightness control, etc.
Please update your modem to a version extracted from a 5.0/V20x image. If you cannot find an image available for your specific model, you can extract a .KDZ to get the .DZ, extract that and flash the relevant files (dbi, factory, modem, rpm, tz). Please note you must use the aboot and laf partitions from a V10x image or else your device will end up in bulk mode. The version should show as 00053 under Settings > About > Baseband version
Apollo/Thor: Boot-looping into recovery
