Just curious if anyone happens to have our know where to direct me to get the stock kernel in a flashable zip for VS980. I flashed a modded stock kernel which sucked. However, I did backup my boot and system but it just seems like my battery life has room a hit ever since that event.

I flashed twrp on my Verizon LGG2. I was just wondering, since I have to have the standard recovery to get OTA updates(hopefully next one is Kit Kat), does anyone know where I can find it for my phone?

You will get kitkat much faster from the developers than you will an ota

Good to know, but doesn't answer my question.

Not sure, but I was wondering about this also. I think I'm just going to go back to stock when we get 4.4.

Anyone know the answer?

load the factory image using the LG tool. this will put you back to original stock, of course it will wipe your phone.
just an FYI, taking an OTA could possibly remove the ability to root your phone in the future. SO make sure that is really what you want.
I also have a similar question involving CWM. At the moment I have TWRP as my recovery (used flashify to install it), however I would prefer to use CWM. If I flash CWM via flashify, will it replace TWRP?

Awesome, thanks. I'm new to the LG phones (been on moto for the last few years) and just wanted to make sure

So is there any way to get standard recovery without having to reflash the entire stock rom?

Is the stock kernel available for Kitkat? I thought about trying another kernel but hat the thought of having to restore a backup or fish the factory image again. I am running stock rooted Kitkat

Its the wrong section mate. But here is the stock one. I made a flashable zip. Should work.
Sorry man. Thank you though. I didn't pay enough attention. Hopefully a mod can move this.

The above link works just fine, but in adition I would recomend you to check Nexus Root Toolkit, from our member WugFresh. It has you covered in pretty much anything you can do with your nexus device regarding flashing, restoring, backuping , etc...

I'm having trouble locating finding the stock kernel for my VS980 G2. Does anyone know how I can acquire it? I would like to install Dorimanxs' kernel but want to have a backup of stock to be safe. Thanks.

Just create backup before flashing new kernel. Then you can restore just the boot part of backup to return to stock. Or you can just dirty flash whatever ROM you are running and it will overwrite it.

I finally decided to drop my beloved galaxy nexus. The N5 seemed like the next phone of my dreams but couldn't stand the thought of losing my unlimited plan so G2 seemed like the next logical choice. I have been reading as much as I can and still having a hard time wrapping my head around things. Here is where I am at:
Bought phone from swappa appeared to be in new condition as advertised with plastic still on the phone.
Not sure if the phone was updated ota by the seller but the software and baseband were 12b out the box not rooted.
I rooted successfully with latest I0root method.
Installed loki patched twrp 2.6.3.3 successfully via freegee method. Full nand backup of rooted stock. Backed up imie with freegee and imie and other partitions via flashable zip method.
So where do I go from here? Is it safe to flash any VS980 rom from this point?

Yes you should be good to go from that point forward.

I have yet to install a custom rom or I could let you know. I have however upgraded to philz recovery and successfully installed dorimanx kernels. Got a little busy messing with exposed modules as well. I wanted to make sure I have all my essentials backed up before messing with roms and have the appropriate files and drivers working in case something goes wrong. I tried to install malladus yesterday and the install failed but I want to say the download was bad as it took forever. I had no issues with restore. I'll report back if I have any luck.

If you want some KitKat love, try out Mahdi ROM with the latest furnace kernel. Very very stable on my vs980.
Sent from my LG-VS980 using Tapatalk
You've bought the right device, aside from some unreleased phone of course. I too came from the gnex and I love this thing. Go install some AOSP ROM and it will be like you never left the gnex. (Although admittedly not as stable YET). With KK just being released by LG, all roms should get better. Anyways, enjoy a camera that works all the time not just when it is super bright and a battery that is equal to 3x of the galaxy nexus.

Thanks for the input. I installed AICP latest ROM last night with no issues. Feels amazing with no scroll lag compared to stock. Only thing I miss is knock off but hey you can't have it all. Gonna give furnace a go later.

I thought Mahdi came with knock on?

when i turn on my phone the splash screen is not there and when i turn my phone
off it is not there how do i get it back.
Are you on a custom kernel? Sometimes they have not boot animation. If there's no stock boot animation zip you can flash stock kernel.

Did you have a custom rom or anything else installed before? What was listed above should do you. If that fails but it's really that important to you then you can start from scratch and Odin a stock image. You WILL LOSE EVERYTHING by doing that though. The only time I ever see that sprint stuff is if I restore to stock after a fubar moment. LOL
Here is a flashable zip that will give you back the stock bootanimation. You can lose it when you flash ROM's that are not made for your device. I know from experience. Here is a dropbox link for it. Just flash it in recovery and it will be back.
