[Q] CM11 Problem.. Help Needed

Hi all,
I am interested in the CM11 ROM. Last night I spent 6hrs trying and failed, epically.
Here is what I did already:
1. Downgraded from 4.4.2 back to factory
2. Successfully rooted
3. Installed ROM Manager
4. Successfully downloaded CM11 and latest GApps
Then when I tried to boot into recovery it kept going to a screen with a little android guy lying on his back with a red triangle!!! I tried six times.
I got frustrated and just updated back to 4.4.2 and have been dealing with it. I am still rooted and have been able to remove my bloatware and other things you need root access for.
Any thoughts or help as to how I can install the CM11 rom?? I am happy running NovaLauncher and using DynamicNotifications to approximate it but really want to try out CM11.
Cheers and thanks!

Lucky there is no way to root on 4.4.2 yet or atleast no Recovery's yet it could be worse you're atleast rooted and it didn't brick your phone

Did you actually try flashing a recovery first? Just installing ROM manager won't install the custom recovery needed to flash ROMs. You have to do that step as well.

No, I didn't. I am super new with android. Had an iphone for a long time. How do I flash a recover? Can I still do it now on 4.4.2 b/c its rooted?
Sorry about the noob questions, everyone is being very helpful!

LG blocked the Loki exploit with 4.4.2 so you can't flash recoveries currently. You'd have to flash back to 4.2.2 to do that. Which if you want custom ROMs now its going to have to be done sooner or later. Which carrier and model number do you have? If you have an international D802 the above post by @zekurosu will work for you, otherwise don't use that one. You're gonna have to find the method for your model number.

My first guess was that you missed the flashing the custom recovery step, which people above me have already helped ya out on. For being new to Android you did fairly well, you just missed that one step.
Good luck!

I have an ATT D800 running 4.4.2. I can't decide whether its worth it to flash back to 4.2.2 to try again. Pretty happy with NovaLauncher + widgetlocke and fairly closely approximates what I am looking for.
For what its worth, I was in 4.2.2 when I tried the first time and failed. I think mackster is right, I didn't flash the custom recovery. I basically flashed back to 4.2.2->rooted->tried to boot into recovery (OVER and OVER) then gave up and upgraded back to 4.4.2.
Thanks for all the help. At least I now have a rooted phone and have been able to do some cool stuff with that. My goal is to get nexus 5 software in an LG G2 body (battery, camera, etc)

@android_nashville There's a way to have the best of both worlds. You can flash back to 4.2.2 (10d preferably) root, flash a custom recovery with Flashify or FreeGee. Both available on the play store. Then actually update to 4.4.2 following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483043. Eventually, if you want to flash custom ROMs you're going to have flash back to 4.2.2 and do this process regardless. The 4.4 aboot image (bootloader) can't be bypassed with Loki. Its been blocked. But some brilliant devs basically found out they can make a hybrid setup, with the 4.2.2 aboot, and everything else 4.4.2. This way you can have the ability to flash custom recovery, kernels and ROMs.

Everything LG G2 Stock Kit Kat

Okay so I've been noticing a lot of threads lately asking kk this, kk that, kk them, etc. So I decided to make a thread to help some people and reduce the amount of repetitive questions on the Q&A and will try to keep it up to date during my free time.

Next is root and recovery-
IOroot has been updated to v25 and can root most devices on kk IOroot25
T-Mobile's D801 is having problems with root on 4.4.2 because of issues with stock recovery, but they have a dedicated thread which you can check out and read often to see if they figure out how to root it
Recovery is now available without all the downgrading hassle, as long as you rooted with ioroot25 you can:
1) check out Cloudy's AutoRec to download and install custom recovery on KitKat
2) for Verizon g2 owners only you can check out Freedom Tools
If you want kk, root and custom recovery then try the following(once I can find them for other models, if anybody can share a link i'll update with other models):

Bugs/Fixes(When I have more time I'll add more as I find them)
Apparently there is a bug in which when using auxiliary cables/headphones where there is a crackling/hissing sound in the background, I cannot comment on this since I have not experienced it and I use auxiliary cables every weekend for dj stuff and I also use headphones at least once everyday. There is now a fix for this using G2TweaksBox
So I remember from the very beginning everyone complained that there battery was being drained by Bluetooth right after flash without ever wiping/factory resetting, but I have been using kitkat for about two months now and if after 12 hours it's used 5% then wow that's not a drain, the Bluetooth now works in a low energy state just like Wi-Fi so that even if it's off it's always on in a low energy state which means its not draining your battery.
When I have more time I will add more stuff that is stock kit kat related

After rooting stock KK with ioroot25, isn't it possible to install a recovery? you just need to flash a patched kernel with loki enabled after flashing the recovery to boot back into "stock" rom

No the kit Kat bootloader patched our recovery/Loki exploit, if it were that easy there wouldn't be so many people bricking their devices on kk after getting root

The only way is to have recovery on JB then flash Kk baseband for your variant and one of the Kk roms that use the patched kernel. Those Kk roms are mixed firmwares that use parts from Jb to make them work with the kernel and recovery and make sure loki is not broken. So that is why recovery can't be installed on full stock rooted Kk.
EDIT- There are now root and recovery methods/installers for stock KK. Mixed firmware is still used to keep JB bootstack.

My phone is showing in the battery menu that bluetooth is using 3 percent of battery. Says has been on for 12hours but I have not used and is not actively checked. No BT logo in status bar.. Am I missing something?

ok so for some reason for the first few weeks the Bluetooth reports a false positive(it reports a lot of hours of use but it's not actually draining your battery), if you actually use Bluetooth on a daily basis it will eventually stop giving out the false positive, mines stopped reporting 7-15 hours and now only reports around 2-4 hours which is the actual use I give it on a daily basis

I appreciate the fast response. Sounds like I'll wait it out and see what happens but that's good too know it's a false positive. Thanks again!

well seeing as that's the official bootstack you should be able to flash any official kk rom(stock, flex, pro) but I am not too sure if it plays well with aosp

if you are using a root browser they should be located in cache/fota there should be a dlpkgfile, a script and some other files and also are do you have custom recovery sounds like you want to flash a stock rom? Also you want to use this to flash back to stock

Thanks for the fast reply, well i read this comment on the link you game me, im just curious and also worried that i might brick my phone, cause im a total noob when it comes to these things,
Here's some of the comments i read about D802T
"Please note you cannot install custom recovery in stock KK via any method for the D802T Australian variant and get it to boot. LG has not released kernel source code for Aussie variant, for KK, so Loki exploit does not work. If you want a custom recovery under KK you will have to install a custom ROM with already patched kernel. If you plan to stay on JB 4.2.2, however, you can indeed root and/or install TWRP without hassle on stock."
"u cant use this on the Australian version D802T.
It will soft brick your phone."
Now what should i do? im just very confused.

there is a way to do it. Follow the guide and root kk but before you install autorec, make sure you have a custom rom zip ready to go on your phone sdcard and whilst still in TWRP (dont try to boot into kk yet), simply flash your custom rom, and then the phone will boot normally.

installing twrp

I have my tmobile d801 running lollipop 5.0.2 rooted with twrp installed. Now that ive discovered that there are no roms for lollipop im going to downgrade to original firmware that runs 4.4.2 so i can try out some of the roms that have been developed. Ive found a way to root, though i cannot find a guide to install twrp, all the guides seem to have twrp for a different model of lg g2.
What version of twrp do i need and how can i flash it for the d801?

Go to the Play Store and search for AutoRec for your D801 for lollipop and install and your good to go as long as your rooted.

If you`re on 5.0.2 lollipop then you need to install autorec from play store to get twrp installed but you must be rooted in order for it to work.If your trying to downgrade back to kit kat then I think you don`t have to be rooted or have twrp installed at all in your flashing to stock kit kat rom.

You are misunderstanding. I am using a Tmobile d801 on lollipop that is rooted and twrp installed. There are no custom roms.
I want to revert to 4.4.2, so that i can use custom roms, so the autorec for lollipop would do me no good to root and install twrp.

That's because the phone is not rooted.Maybe try LG one click root.If the phone didn't reboot and you see android updating then it's probably not rooted.

You need to turn on developers mode and follow the instructions carefully.When it asks you go in download mode and you get stuck at 90% just wait about a minute and then hold power down and let phone reboot.Let me know if you need full instructions.

If that didn't work.This is what I used on my phone.I just remembered.

That didn't work on my T-Mobile G2 D801 ("Device is patched, sorry"). In fact I've tried Purple Drake, ioroot, StumpRoot, LGOneClickRoot. None of these work. I wonder what's different with your G2 that allows StumpRoot (or any other rooting) to succeed. I'm contemplating a downgrade all the way to KK 4.2.2 as both LP 5.0 and KK 4.4.2 seem impervious to rooting.

I downgraded my phone back to Kit Kat on a D800 and rooted Kit Kat stock Rom just today with StumpRoot.If you are on stock Kit Kat Rom it should.If you install the StumpRoot apk on your phone and let it did it thing and when ask to reboot phone after reboot it should reboot on its on once more and then your rooted.Supernova will not show up in app drawer but you should be rooted.Just work for me.I think because you don't see it in app drawer you think it's not rooted.They're apps in Play Store to check.

No, I always use a root checker to get root status. It seems we're comparing apples & oranges - we have a different phone and different versions of Android. But thanks for trying to help.

StumpRoot should work on all variations of the LG G2 but only on Kit Kat not Lolilpop.
