Ideas for Unlocking Bootloader & CWM/TWRP for LG G2?

This is a thread to see if anyone has ideas on Unlocking the Bootloader & porting/creating CWM or TWRP to our device? Any ideas are helpful and welcomed.

I'm not to sure, I know you need the bootloader unlocked for Roms and Kernels
EDIT: I thought about it and your right, you always have to unlock the bootloader before you install the Custom Recovery.

Are you sure the bootloader needs to be unlocked in order to install roms?? Thought that was only for custom kernels. Moto devices have always had pretty locked down devices, yet had recoveries and ability to install roms, if I remember correctly...

Why should I unlock?
The explanation to this question is really simple. If you want root, you’d be wanting to flash Custom ROM post-root, and if you want to install a Custom ROM, you’d need to have your stock bootloader unlocked. In simple terms Unlocking the bootloader allows you to install custom Firmware on your Android phone
Warning: Unlocking your phone’s bootloader voids its warranty. It also completely wipes (formats) your Android phone’s internal memory including applications, contacts, SMS and MMS messages etc.

kexec is required to flash a kernel.
Safestrap is a way to flash somewhat custom ROMs (without kexec you need to use stock kernel) without recovery installed but it needs to be adapted to each specific phone. Right now I think they are working on a version that will work with the S4, not sure how attractive the G2 is (or will be).

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2443165 <---- these guys are the ones who worked most of the magic for Optimus G (and Pro?).

You guys first need Root to do anything (which i believe you have). Then you need a Custom Recovery. Installing a Custom Recovery can be accomplished via a workaround or by unlocking the bootloader. A workaround like loki by djrbliss on the Galaxy S4 which isn't an unlock but more so a bypass or like Safestrap by Hashcode.

Here is the man djrbliss.

I found it. server is chat.freenode.net room is lg-g2. Not very much going on in there at the moment.

i completely agree with the said explanation. but I'm having difficulties with my device i.e. LG G2 (D802).
I'm rooted with custom recovery TWRP and unable to install most of AOSP roms based on 4.4 KitKat. New Custom roms are coming up very frequently now for this device but so far I'm able to flash ParanoidAndroid Rom and modifited stock rom... Apart from this I always gets error while flashing the rom.
Most of the time Error comes up saying 'Status 7 Error' and 'unable to execute update binary'.
I did google on this subject and tried everything i found but the problem still exist.
I never had these problem flashing LG Stock or Android 4.3 based roms. Need advise on this subject. By the way any help on unlocking the bootloader????
thanks:good:

Just purchased a Nexus 7 on swappa.com...

The previous owner said he had unlocked and rooted it. Not sure what version it's on... But could I take an ota update successfully? I don't care if I lose root. I bought this for my son to play with.
Thanks

Check to see if there's custom recovery installed. You should flash a factory image and wipe it clean to be 100% sure it'll take an OTA.

Yes he said he had clockwork on it but I prefer twrp which I'll probably flash..
That's if I decide to just throw a sick based rom on it instead.
Can you recommend a good stock based rom that would continue to be updated?

Hmm... Well, I dunno if Team Android makes any more ROMs but those are as close to stock as you can get. Perhaps going simple CyanogenMod or Carbon would be great alternatives if you cannot flash to stock (although there may not be anymore OTAs it's super stable). I don't think the little one will care too much about customizing the UI.

True. I just want something stable so any apps or movie players (MXplayer) run without an issue.
Always seems like cm had so many bugs, even the so called "stable or snapshots".
I saw that SlimKat had a few stable builds. I love that on my 2013 N7 and my G2. Super stable

That I'm not sure of. If the /system partition was changed at all, the md5 would come out invalid and it would send you into a bootloop. You'd also need stock recovery but you can flash an OTA through custom recovery as a .zip. I seriously recommend flashing a stock image if you expect to take an OTA because you really don't know what the original owner had done...

Android Lollipop port development

This thread is for the development for a Moto X(2013) port for Android Lollipop.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/ota-pure-edition-lollipop-5-0-t2932625
2nd test build in the works
Everyone who wants to test builds needs to add [email protected] to hangouts
WARNING! tests builds,if they work, will be very unstable. Please remember to backup your system before flashing
In order to flash your phone must
-Have an Unlocked bootloader
- TWRP Recovery installed
If you meet those requirements then add him to hangouts and join the development process

Android 5.0 will come to the 2013 Moto X before the end of november , if not early december, so the amount of work that i believe is required, i dont really think its worth it.

^^^^^agreed. This has already been discussed in the GENERAL section. Mods should move this to general. No development here.

And after putting android L on my N7 all locked devices will not have root anymore or safestrap. Currently only way to root is with a custom rooted kernel.

Does TWRP still work with 5.0? What about SuperSU?

TWRP still works with L. However only way at this time to get root is with a custom rooted kernel by chainfire. Which means root and safestrap will be dead on L if you are on a locked bootloader.

Ha! I'm unlocked. So Flashing TWRP and installing SuperSU the traditional way no longer works? Am I understanding?

Correct, now to root you will need to flash a rooted kernel.

Any word on xposed and L?

Xposed use davilk not art. So with Android Like you can't use xposed mod

Porting is difficult ..why dont u build aosp 5.0 from source using cm device tree ?

That's not right.. with the SuperSU betas you can flash them with any kernel from my experience so far. I have flashed the betas on the stock kernel on my N7 and N5 and so far I haven't had any problems. But I just opened FKU and that was it, so I might have the app and no root..

So you did not have to fastboot the boot.img on your N7? That is what I had to do. Not sure if you can just flash root to your kernel. Even instructions from chainfire shows you have to be unlocked to get the rooted kernel. https://plus.google.com/113517319477420052449/posts/fw659MWRewE
But if flashing SuperSU beta works then that would be easy. However, my searches did not point me in that direction on N7 threads.
Also even if flashing SuperSU beta works it still modifies the kernel correct? In this case locked phones will not get root since they can not have mod kernels right? You mention your N7 and N5 which both probably have a unlocked bootloader. We shall see what happens when L is dropped for retail devices.
I just searched more and even on the N5 to flash the SuperSU beta you need a unlocked bootloader. Please link something that shows a locked phone will get root with L please. Since you did say I was wrong. And that was my point. Looks like only way to root L is with a modified kernel which locked bootloader can not use. Besides you mention flashing it in TWRP. Locked bootloaders can not even use TWRP.

In my understanding if Selinux is set to permissive when the ROM is compiled, you would then be able to have root access and flash superuser. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

I hope you are correct. Last night was my first time flashing and rooting L. I hope root is not lost for locked phones. But you still need to be unlocked to have a custom recovery to flash root. So time will tell I guess.

UNLOCK BOOTLOADERS
If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device - with the exception of Nexus devices, which will usually automatically "OEM unlock" and wipe your data !

Another example of the 14' X just got root and it has to be unlocked boot loader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/lollipop-root-achieved-t2937154

Seriously!!! I do agree beggars cannot be choosers... But... The attitude of Moto X owners is Why do it when eventually we will get it!! But isn't it the same condition of other phones like Xperia Z, Nexus 4, Nexus 7, One Plus One? They know they will all eventually get it... But still people ported the ROMs without the binaries or the kernel!! I personally feel the whole point of XDA was to be independent! Not depending on an OEM for what u want! But lack of development makes me really sad, cuz the Moto X was Motorola's baby! It almost brought them back from the dead!!! Its got such brilliant hardware, just enough to be awesome n give a smooth experience! Anyways... All wanna enjoy their Motorola Goodies I guess... Let's just see what people think about development for this phone once its no longer supported By Motorola! Anyways at this point according to Motorola's time line its Droid Turbo next n then the Moto X.... Hoping to see lollipop soooon!

I am learning android programming right now... Just started playing around with codes.... I was messing with stock rom with few mods but no luck.... Let's see how it goes with AoSP source code.. ?

Yeah that's the thing you need to have an unlocked bootloader. That's the reason for L being such a pain to get root on. You need to either have an unlocked bootloader so that you can flash a custom recovery and flash the SuperSU Beta.zip, or you need an unlocked bootloader so you can flash an insecure boot.img which allows for root. But with a locked bootloader, I can see that getting root, is going to be somewhat of a difficult task, especially with some parts of Android becoming closed source.

That is because you cannot do it that way which is why you bootlooped. The CM threads speak of this numerous times. You need to RUU the US developer, then FLASH a Sprint variant ROM (like Bad Boys), then wipe and install CM which will work. The other option is to just use the developer edition with SuperCID/MID and then CM will work without flashing back to Sprint ROM's. I would go with the first option as you will gain better LTE as you wont be on Sprint's "global" connections.

Such a shame this thread went to PM. It seems like it would have been good basic information for experienced flashers whom are new to the HTC world. I came from the Galaxy S5 (SM-900R7 nTelos variant), and had been testing out LineageOS 14.1 on it (as an update to CM13, which I was building myself). This thread would have been helpful to help flash the HTC10 version. Still learning it. Quite different from the Samsungs, for sure!

would someone mind either posting in the thread or PM me back with a link or guide, step by step how to install Cyanogenmod. I have rooted a few Samsung phones before, but once I have them rooted and running stable I usually leave them alone...point being I have not rooted a phone in two years....
I'll be getting my HTC 10 Sprint phone tomorrow, so I would love a full step by step how to root, install twrp and finally how to install the ROM...BTW I used to run a ROM called liquid smooth....does that ROM still exists?
Is Cyanogenmod the best most stable ROM for the HTC 10 Sprint?

Im going to help the community as much as i can lol i'm going to start a separate thread on how to install Lineage sometime this weekend when i have time ..mind you this is my first time starting one so bare with me.

I can't seem to find the instructional thread..? I've been rooting & flashing HTC phones since the HTC 4G LTE, but this thing is a different beast entirely. I've unlocked via HTC Dev, installed unofficial TWRP 3.0.3-9, flashed the custom SU, & installed Viper (did all that from stock N). Viper is definitely super solid, but I've always preferred the CM/AOSP platform. I've wiped the internal like I've done a thousand times & flashed Lineage + gapps (arm64). the phone boots & gets to the lineage boot animation & sits there indefinitely. I let it sit for almost an hour, & obviously it wasn't going to boot.
What am I missing, guys? Any & all help will be greatly appreciated.

any ideas?

They dont have any roms built for the CDMA 10, notice there are no CM or AOSP roms in the SPrint htc 10 rom section. It probably didn't boot completely cause of a kernel mismatch.

there are people in the LOS thread saying they're on Sprint running it. I just can't follow their methods, which is why I was hoping for a tut.

Correct. You must be S-Off to do this. Put the .zip file, named 2PS6IMG.zip, on the root of your ext sd card, reboot to bootloader and flash it. After successfully flashing that file, you'll be able to run AOSP without issue. Like you said, download and flash. Enjoy! ?

If anyone wants a magisk build, take the ARG2 stock update and go through intial setup. When you do take the update, you WILL NOT, I repeat you WILL NOT be able to downgrade to the ARF2,ARC1 AQJ3,APL1, AQF4 , and AQB6 versions or you will risk bricking your device.
From now on, ALWAYS, I repeat, ALWAYS, keep Gapps( arm, 6.0, stock) on hand!!!
There is no need to check any of the checkboxes when using the aroma as you should have already wiped dalvik,system,data, and cache prior to flashing the ROM. I have also integrated the no verity ashyx zip into my ROM, so unless data cant be mounted then before flashing rom, there is NO reason to flash the no verity ashyx zip manually. After flashing rom, wipe cache , dalvik and then reboot.

I finally pulled us out of alpha and the first beta is ready. She's a little rough around the edges but overall it's pretty nice. I'll update the OP in a few. Once we can get the stock from stable I'll build a device tree and take a crack at compiling and building lineage os and probably others too, hang in there

@jlrockafella and @SonderTech beta will be live soon here https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bz99NuhE3XwmcHUzcmhpZXJ4Sms i included stock boot.img so those who would like to use it instead of supersu can do so. This will be less complicated @SonderTech i included your boot animation too. i have slow upload so hang tight and thank you so much for all the contributions you've made!! ??I'll update the op with simple directions for us in a bit but it's close to stable now

New build up!! ROM is now stable

I'm trying to download from Google drive but it says I need permission? I requested access yesterday and it said to wait for an email. Nothing yet.

Newest build is here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz99NuhE3XwmLTZyZnVIaGN3U00/view?usp=drivesdk

I'm a little new to custom roms but I'm learning pretty quick. I can throw the img onto my sd card, factory reset and flash it over in twrp right? Had to do the same **** to root my phone and all that jazz.

How you flash this is your choice ? I prefer to flash my ROM's as zips

I think that's what I meant. The zip is what I would flash over in twrp and then I reboot and wala. Now does this ROM include root, supersu and all that?

Yes. All the info is here at the OP https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...nt/wip-custom-rom-j3-emerge-sm-j327p-t3634206

Thanks so much you've been more than helpful. I do have a final question, though. I don't have boost/sprint but my model is indeed a j327p. It's a virgin mobile phone, I know that might affect it just curious if this was made for all variants.

You have twrp on your device now correct? I have successfully built one for boost. Tonight I'm working on the sprint version for a friend and if you like I could make one for Virgin if firmware is available, im doing this in my extra time so it make take me a few days but I'll certainly try if you want me to.

I do have twrp. I'm glad I asked before bricking my phone haha. I'll check up on it next week. I can't thank you enough, these are not bad little phones. I'm baffled there aren't more people working on projects like this for these samsungs.

And I would very much like that ROM on my virgin mobile device. I would owe you big. I'm not fond of the touchwiz interface and many of the other features that come on the stock firmware.

I built this today for you https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bz99NuhE3XwmajBNY0IyZ2FFWkk I understand you are not fond of touchwiz and neither am I, what i suggest is to install xposed to use gravity box and use the firefds kit along side it to make the ROM however you want. Your ROM is in testing phase so I dont want to tear things apart and replace them until we know whats good and not good. Thank you for your support. Enjoy and follow along as we improve on this base ROM. I used Virgin Firmware so make a backup please first and let me know what you think. It's uploading now so please wait an hour or so for it to finish

It is for the time being, pulling touchwiz caused ALOT of confusion for folks im working on using a different one but setup is affected without it. Honestly i wish i could use evie as the base without borking the rom
