[Q] How to install Verizon Stock Rooted OTA Debloated VS98012B - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry for the noob questions, but I can't seem to find the answer...
I have rooted my VS98012B but I am not sure how to install the actual Verizon Stock Rooted OTA Debloated VS98012B.
Thought I need a KDZ file to put in a different rom?
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Instructions....
Thank you in advance.

New to AT&T S4, confused about ROM, Loki, etc.

I have an overseas rom for i9505 that I really want to use on my I337 (AT&T). However it does not come with any custom rom beside those 1.7GB .md5 stock roms. I have tried using CASUAL Root and Recovery to install TWRP, but I got stuck at how I should install the rom that I have. From my experience I should have a flashable zip on my hand. I then look at Kitchen and Loki but I am totally confused about it. Can anyone point me to the right direction about how what to do with the i9505 rom that I wish to install? Thanks.

Follow the instructions in this link. If it seems to foreign to you, stop and don;t attempt to flash anything until you have a clear understanding. Several people in this forum have put together threads intended to help.

I know that thread. It seems like the prerequisite is to have a custom rom. In my case I don't have a custom rom that's why I got stuck here...

There is no prerequisite to have a custom rom already installed. You need to be rooted with a custom recovery. You flash the rom in recovery. Twrp and cwm are recoveries.

No I am not talking about a "custom rom already installed". What I mean is, the rom needs to be CWM flashable, which is a ZIP file containing Meta-INF, which is also a "custom rom". However, the only file I have access is MD5 file which is an ODIN file. I think I can't flash the ODIN file in TWRP, right?
no locked bootloader will check security of the md5, however ...in your case you can get a linux and un tar the md5... make a flashable..patch with loki..and flash

Ive tried everything to get twrp, cwm recovery on my att g2. I did get the latest ota update a few days ago.
Can someone point me in the right direction of how to get a recovery on my g2.

I'm in the same boat with no success...
Can't flash twrp with the new OTA update. You will have to flash back to the firmware 80010d. Hopefully the dev's figure it out soon.
Questions should be in Q&A, but, try this suggestion..

Thanks for the info. I was racking my brain last night trying to get cwm or twrp put on. I hope they figure it out soon too. I'm guessing they will.

I also took the OTA from stock and ended up in the same boat w/o being able to flash a custom recovery.
I just reverted to stock and installed TWRP, after a lot of useless troubleshooting and wasted time.
I intended to use stock OS, but, I couldn't help myself and installed Aeon V3 rom for AT&T, you really must try it, it is SO choice.
Of course you must flash back to stock and TWRP/CWM yourself b4 installing Aeon v3 should you choose.
How did you go back to stock? Before the OTA? Mind to enlighten this lad.

Hi all, I am preparing to give my G2 to a family friend however I currently have it rooted with TWRP custom recovery installed. As I want to give it to them as if it were new, I need to restore the phone to its original state i.e. 4.2.2 stock jellybean, without root or TWRP installed. I currently am on stock 4.2.2 and have not flashed any roms. How would I unroot and remove TWRP? Thank you in advance for your help

[Q] Unlock bootloader on SGH-I337 with NC1? Lollipop?

Please excuse these (probably) common questions. I have a rooted SGH-I337 running NC1 firmware, currently with Safestrap installed (stock otherwise). I'm interested in unlocking the bootloader if a method has been developed yet for this firmware.
If not, how can I install OTA updates? I don't need an in-depth explanation if there's already a thread on this -- just a link will do. My searches weren't coming up with anything definitive.
Finally, has anyone been able to install Lollipop from this setup? If so, a link would be awesome.
Thanks everyone, and my apologies for the ridiculous questions that I am sure are common around here.

Yes, they are common. You can not unlock the bootloader. If and when an ota comes out you're most likely going to have to flash the nb1 tar file and return to stock before the ota will work. Lollipop is not out for the i337 yet. They're are some custom Roms but they don't work in safestrap.

[Q] 4.4.2 rooted to Lollipop

Hi guys,
I'm trying to figure out how I can install Lollipop for my SM-N900V which is rooted with TWRP and Safestrap on Baseband N900VVRUCNC4 and Build number KOT49H.N900VVRUCNC4. I've looked into ArayaMod and Jasmine but I'm super confused about how to go about the install. Do I need to flash stock 5.0 via Odin and then flash a custom ROM? Do I need to install from an SD card?
I'm pretty discouraged and I'm almost ready to just flash the stock 5.0 and lose root privileges if it's possible.
I hope this doesn't seem too vague but if someone could just point me toward a decent thread or video to give me some direction I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Jeff
