Hi guys.
Im coming from Xperia Z and wonder how to flash boot.img files?
On xperia z i only had to do fastboot flash boot boot.img and it was done.
Cant see any guides on how to flash img files for the amazing LG G2 D802
Download flashify from the android market and then flash img with app

Just keep the boot.img in the Cwm zip and flash in recovery.

I'm currently running JB 4.2.1 with radio .33 in order to keep LTE. I noticed I'm running the 4.2.2 boot loader (MAKOZ10o) and I wanted to downgrade.
I can't seem to find a file to downgrade the boot loader. Can anyone provide a link?

Download the 4.2.1 system image (probably have to get it from oldblue's thread as Google removed it) and flash the bootloader file from that. Just bear in mind it'll break things like autofocus in CM 10.1 (for example) if you do downgrade...or was that just the radio? Can't remember...
Do you have a link to his thread?

It's in the sticky thread...

Is there no flashable CWM zip for the MAKOZ0I boot loader as opposed to the entire ROM?

No as this is a system partition. You will need to download the entire factory image, extract the bootloader file and flash it in fastboot. There is no other way

The reason I'm asking is because I want to fastboot the entire 4.3 image to my tablet and start clean but I'm afraid that if the bootloaders are different I won't be able to install the custom recoveries, Philz CWM, or CWM touch for example.
Thanks in advance.

No, old one is LJ12, new one is MD03.
I use TWRP 2.5, and it works fine on the new bootloader.

I'm using phipz cwm and it works fine on new boot loader but every time a reboot room it it says ROM wants to flash stock recovery and you have to press prevent flash or no allow flash.

Thanks for the quick reply, I think I'm gonna stick with TWRP for now until CWM gets updated.

Here is a simple guide to root Xperia Z and install @[NUT]'s XZ dual recovery at the same time (BIG thanks to him:good
**NOTE: If you are on .569 or .101 firmware, you will need to downgrade to a previous version as no rooting exploit is currently available**
Before starting, as always, make sure you have a backup of your data
Download XZ dual recovery from Here, and unzip it.
Go to Settings/About Phone/Build number and tap it 7 times to enable Developer Options
Go back, open Developer Options, check USB debugging box, and Click OK to allow.
Plug the phone into the PC via USB cable.
Now go to XZDR folder, run the install file and choose [ 3. Installation on unrooted ROM ]
If a message about RSA key comes up, allow it.
After installation, the phone will boot into Philz Touch 6 recovery.
Go to /Philz settings and select Re-root System (SuperSU) /Yes - Apply SuperSU.
The log should say "done install SuperSU from market"
Select ***Go Back***/Reboot System Now.
You are now rooted with XZ Dual recovery
Dont forget to install Chainfire's SuperSU app from Playstore, and update su Binary when prompted:good:
To enter the recoveries during the boot process, press volume up to enter Philz CWM Advanced edition, or volume down to enter TWRP when green LED comes on.
Alternatively, use the newly installed NDR utils app to choose which recovery to boot into.
For more information on XZ Dual Recovery go Here
Have fun and enjoy
Edit: You can now update to. 569 by flashing a pre-rooted rom in recovery.
An alternative way of gaining root after installing the dual recovery would be to simply boot into one of the recoveries and flash a superuser zip. That would install the superuser control apk to /system/app and includes the latest su binaries.
Chainfire always has the latest version of SuperSu available in zip form on his website - http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

If I'm on .569 already, unroot and unlocked bootloader, can I still use your method? Install the dual recovery and flash SuperSU?

If your bootloader is unlocked then simply flash DooMLoRD's advanced stock kernel , then flash the SuperSU zip that I linked to.

Is this procedure ok for stock 4.2.2 XZ 6603 with locked bootloader? Bootloader stays untouched after this?
Maybe my questions looks lame for You but I wanna ask before then be sorry after.
BTW: It seams to be too easy... I just can't believe! :good:

Yes, I tested it successfully on that configuration, and it doesn't interfere with bootloader. Once you achieve root, it might be.a good idea to backup your TA partition.:thumbup:

No. If you want to flash Cyanogenmod (or any other non stock based rom), you need to unlock your bootloader.

Damn, how about a 4.4 rom?

No. The 4.4 roms that are currently available are non stock based. Anything that needs a custom kernel needs an unlocked bootloader.

Hey guys
I have flashed a custom kernel but i want to switch back to stock kernel now, is there any way without wiping?
Thanks!

If you are on a custom rom with stock kernel just flash rom again, no wipe needed, if on official try or ask for somebody to ectract kernel from rom, next time make a backup vedere flashing or use app like synapse can help in back up only kernel

I have extracted boot.img from the stock rom i have installed on my S7, so if i use Flashify to install that boot.img, will i get back the stock kernel or also i am changing another thing? I am not sure if this boot.img is the kernel itself, i am reading many topics but no one is really clear.
The boot.img contains the kernel and ramdisk
according to this old guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443994
You can flash .img with TWRP too, just select "flash .img" option in install menu since I don't remember if flashify can flash image or boot file properly
Just try at your own risk

if this hasent been answered yet, the file that you got from TWRP is restorable... its just in a different file format.
you can rename it to boot.img or to Boot.bin
then create a TAR archive of the file ( I use peazip on win 7 to archive it)
then to flash it with download mode (ODIN) in the Ap section. it should pass...
if not, try Prince comsy odin, sometimes does the trick..
if still NO, then the image is bad, or inferior to the current (possibly updated more, bootloader, modem, etc)
hopes this helps others.
