Hi i am a new user of G2 would someone in the know answer a few questions for me please.
1) once rooted is it safe to install CWM via ROM manager app.
2) do i need to do anything with the bootloader to achieve these.
3) i have a UK sim free G2 D802 what roms do i look for as i see many different ones for the different US carriers AT.T/Verizon etc..nothing for UK
is this/my device classed as international.??
many thanks in advance for any help and advice.

Yes d802 is international, secondly bootloader as far as I know is still locked you have to use the locki method to install your first recovery after that you can flash other recoveries, you could try ROM manager I guess as I haven't seen a g2 hard brick yet you can recover through lg flashing software.

I just received my LG G2 and am keen to start rooting and roming it. Was just wondering how I go about doing this as I can only find information for all the US carriers.
So I was just wondering would I have to be careful as to what rom I put on the phone or can I just flash any of them?

Hold off flashing ROMs. I'm sure some are coming for the D802 model soon. There is a kernel that you can try flashing, but make a backup of your current ROM in TWRP first. If the kernel stops your phone booting, at least you'll be able to flash your backup on again.

I've rooted mine with a Chinese super su. Works great. Hang on for a solid recovery IMO.

I am wondering if is it possible to flash regular G2 rom on AT&T device?
If so, can you give me tutorial for it.
Thanks for your help.
Try looking in the development section, there are many roms to choose from. They all have instructions how to install

Just a question, I know for a lot of other phone a Canadian equivalence phone (ie Sammy s3 and note 2) can use at&t ROM with out mods...is this the same case for the d803? Can we use d800 ROM without modding? I just find there's limited ROM for d803, please advice.

I dont think so from what ive read. I downloaded an att ROM today actually and removed the boot.img from it. Going to flash later when i get home and see what happens.
It would be nice if the LG roms worked like sammy...being able to flash without issue across diff models/carriers especially since roms for the d803 are limited.

Hi there =)
Ive seen a los of roms and modifications for the LG G2 phone, mostly everysingle other number than mine, i have the d806 Argentina Latin America version i guess, and i havent been able to find any compatibility list or something like that to know wich roms (if any) of the other models can be installed on this one.
I would really like some help here since the bloatware haters (like myself) want to go to paranoid or a more stocky kind of android. Ive search the forum and the only thing ive found is the root tutorial on d802 working for the d806 but nothing about roms. If you guys can help me (and i bet a lot other too) out and help me figure out wich roms can work for the d806 i would be amazingly happy.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
Before you try this make sure you have a recovery and back up!!! I use international roms on my tmo g2. I do this by flashing the rom then immediately with a reboot i flash a kernal for my version. I would try this. ONCE AGAIN PLS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A RCOVERY AND A BACK OF A WORKING ROM! You can also choose to use your stock kernal my making a back up. And then flashing your backed up zip right after your rom

I used a program unfortantely i cant post outside links so just google search kernal back for your variant make sure it backs it up in a flashable zip file

I am looking to install TWRP on my wife's newly acquired LG G2. I have already rooted it using ioroot22.
I am looking at using adb to install TWRP. Is this recommended? I have seen some things about the newest firmware not being Loki friendly, and needing to downgrade the about or some such.
I just want to make sure I am using the best and most current method.
I have searched both here and elsewhere, but I am still confused. In a nutshell, I want to know:
What is the best method for installing TWRP?
Do I need to downgrade anything first?
What is the easiest way to do this?
I have rooted our previous phones [EVO 3D, one with a locked bootloader and one with an unlocked bootloader), my friend's Droid RAZR, my current Note 3 and my Tab 3. So I'm not entirely new at this. But I haven't used add since my 3VO (wife got the unlocked one). I'm hoping to avoid it if possible. If not, well, I haven't PERMANENTLY bricked any phones so far, so I'll go that route.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Also, should I just wait for the KitKat update for the G2 to even start messing with my wife's phone?
Edit: used FreeGee app, no adb. EASY and headache free.
Mods please close thread. Sorry.
