I've searched, but only found the complete instructions, not just to start where I am now...
I have a "like new" LG G2 that I bought. It came unlocked and rooted with CyanogenMod. Without having done the rooting myself from the beginning, I'm not sure what all I need. Can someone tell me (or point to the correct thread) what I need to load to my phone to be able to flash another ROM if I'd like?
I'd like to go the a clean AT&T ROM, or another possibly. I have confirmed that it is rooted and unlocked. It's been a couple of years since I've rooted anything. The phone came with terminal emulator on it, but that's it other than the standard apps.
Thx up front for any help

You should have everything that you "need" if there is a custom ROM on there. Download clean ROM and the gapps and follow how they want you to install it.
Reboot into recovery and wipe your data. Then flash the ROM zip file, then gapps

Also either make a backup in your recovery or download nandroid. Always keep a backup of a working ROM installed. In case you download a borked zip filw

I downloaded ROM Manager and apparently already have TWRP.
I should do it all from my phone then?
Thank Again!
Yes. If you can't hold the power button and boot into recovery (on some cm Roms you need to activate advanced boot in Dev options) I used ROM toolbox lite. For making back ups. Freezing apps, and there is a button you can click on to boot into recovery.
For whatever reason. Going into twrp and trying to make a back up with never work. But when I would use ROM toolbox and click on make a backup there, they all restored flawlessly

Just boot into recovery and flash away. Always back up and never wipe internal data and you should be good to go.
I always made sure I kept a working ROM zip file downloaded as well. If you wipe and go to install a zip and it is borked. And your backup some how gets corrupted, you will always have that third option before having to push a ROM or factory reset.

Ok, so everything worked perfectly on the flashing. All is good to go and very happy...!
I have added about 2gb of data to the phone. LG G2 with 32gb total. I have about 18.6gb free space left...is that typical, or do you believe I have a lot of extra debris that I should remove from internal storage?
Thx Again

Dont forget to wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik cache through cwm. And you're ready to flash with 2.3.4 stock rom.

Sorry guys if this is a stupid question I am a total newbie to android I am on stock 4.2.1 is it possible to just install the Franco kernel and to do this I would have to
Unlock boot loader
Root the phone
Install custom recovery and then flash the kernel am I right guys
Thanks in advance for your help
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Yup although rooting isn't 100% necessary but it is highly recommended. Also rooting comes after flashing the custom recovery since you need that in order to root.

I'm new to Android as well. This link helped me out a LOT:
http://www.addictivetips.com/android/root-google-nexus-4-install-clockworkmod-recovery/
Once you're rooted and have CWM installed, it's as simple as downloading the kernel (I recommend franco) and then go into recovery mode, install zip from sdcard, and viola you are done!

BlackMarket, nova launcher. i think thats it
I to am getting this error and have no idea on how to fix it. I have cleared both caches. If it helps I'm rooted on MDC and have the oedex wifi mod installed.
I got that error for one application when it was trying to be updated in the Play store - Android Tuner. I got around it by using ES explorer and deleting the odex file then reattempting app update.
I have 6.2 GB free and I am unable to update or install apps.
I have wiped dalvik and rebooted.
Update: this is apparently only an issue for updating apps. Also if I unistall and try to reinstall it will throw the error message.
I had installed Modern Combat 4 but it ate up my storage. I uninstalled and move clockwork and all my cached wallpapers to the sd card.
The apps that I'm currently experiencing this issue with are google drive and vine.

I had a feeling it was going to come down to having to do a flash and wipe
I have already rooted my g2 and installed twrp, i also downloaded clean rom 1.0 which you can find in the roms section but how do i flash it? I've never flashed a rom before? This is my first time ever doing anything besides putting a launcher on my phone. So when i downloaded that rom i transferred it into a ROM folder and than transferred it onto my G2, i can see it when i go into recovery and when i click on it a whole bunch of things pop up. So my question is, what do i select once im in the Rom folder to flash it?
Open twrp wipe .. If you read the cleanrom op. There's a setting for faster wipes. Once its done wiping click install. Find your ROM. If you can't find it click "up a level' see if you can find it there. Then click on clean ROM and swipe to install. Is should take 5 min to install when its done reboot.. #BOOM you're in

I wiped everything in TWRP, Now all I can do is go to the LG screen start screen and back into TWRP.
I have a D803, is my best method of recovery to do this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
Were you just trying to factory reset? You might have wiped system as well. If so, you would need to flash another ROM. But if you literally wiped everything, then that means you wiped internal storage, too. Which means you will not have anything to flash in twrp. Therefore, yes, you will have to use the flash tool in that link, and flash the stock image

Awesome, Thanks. I knew I was doing something wrong, when I wiped it. But I guess I get to learn a little more, the hard way.
If you haven't ran lg stock tool yet you can sideload a ROM using adb. Hold on and let me find the link. That way you don't lose root or twrp

No problem. So are you up and running? All fixed?
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
No, thank you for the follow up though.
It just happened that when I did this I was one day into a 7 day shift at work(a mining camp) and for some reason the LG Mobile Upgrade Tool won't install on my computer, which I think is because of the networks here.
So I am really hoping that it will install when I get home, It installs to 10% then stops and the only info I can find on the problem is to try deleting all other LG apps first and changing Firewall/proxy settings, which I cannot change here.
If you have any other ideas that would be appreciated. I asked LG on their website for any help with the app install.

Thanks, I never saw this post, I am a real beginner at all of this, can I really just sideload a ROM, because the other method is the kdz file. I only question this, because one file is 211MB and the other is 1.8GB am I missing something else? Also if sideloading does not work, can I still try the flash method after? Im not worried about losing root or twrp, as they are very easy to reinstall.
Hey Guys,
It took me a little while, but it worked perfectly. Thank you for your help.
