I have Verizon G2 running Malladus and TWRP ....3 recovery and also took the 12B update. I have had recurring issues with GPS and MMS and want to try and revert back to stock. I have a stock backup made on the previous firmware (11A as I recall). Can I restore this backup if I took the 12B update? Also will I get any update warnings after I restore and anything I should clearly avoid to prevent a brick?

Sorry. I have reposted this in the Q&A forum.
Selling my phone to move to another carrier. I'm on Mehdi's ROM, which is 24A baseband 4.4.2.
I'm trying to go back to the 24A stock (completely) install, but I can't find a .zip that's pure stock.
Trying to flash the 24A .kdz fails at 49% for some reason. Didn't brick the phone. Tried to use a 11A .tot file to revert to that and just OTA but it wouldn't install because my current version (24A) is higher up than the install (11A)
Any help? I don't really care what I end up on as long as it's stock and can do OTA upgrades.
Fixed by messing with the flasher settings.
Had to change to CDMA mode and CS_EMERGENCY.
Can delete this thread.
Hi, I came from CG3 KK rom then I flashed RR Rom w/c is LP Rom. Can I restore my KK rom directly or do I have to flash something like KK baseband first before restoring my backup? Thanks!
Anyone? Please. Thanks

Updating to Lollipop messes with all your initial KitKat partitions. There are 2 solutions to what you're asking.
Solution 1 (SAFE):
It's highly recommended you DON'T just flash a KitKat ROM back onto your device, this will render your device useless. Return to stock KitKat by using the Return To Stock method, then flash your KitKat ROM back over. Doing it this way will first make sure your device has the proper KK partitions. Of course if you have a KK Nandroid back up just flash that back on once you're back on KitKat , and if you don't have a KK Nandroid backup.. just make sure you back up your LP data/media before returning back to stock :victory:.
Solution 2 (UNSAFE, D802 ONLY):
This method unfortunately is only FOR THE D802 by somboons in this thread which I have NOT tested. It involves flashing a .zip to revert your KitKat partitions. More room for errors, but less work. Your call. Obviously if your device is not a D802, don't even attempt this solution, seriously.. just go with Solution 1 .
How to restore KK partitions/flash other ROM (credits to droidth):
- Download this flashable zip: LGG2 -droidth-fixed-KK-partition.zip
- Reboot to recovery and flash LGG2 -droidth-fixed-KK-partition.zip, DONT REBOOT!
- Flash backup or other G2 stock based ROM.

How can I get into recovery if I flash a lp rom? I think rom delete it and can't get into it neither on download mode.... And got no imei.... I am fu+-ed right?
Hey.
If I install TWRP recovery and then a custom rom.
If I go back to stock with LG Flash tool, will it remove TWRP also?
Since that'd be great for warranty purposes.
And another tiny question, I'm currently rooted, if I do a factory reset with button combination, it won't cause any problems?
Since I read that if you update to lolipop OTA while rooted your phone gets bricked.
Bump.
Greetings,
I upgraded to Goldeneye 53 from GE 49.2. But I've come to miss the Xposed Framework. I'd like to go back.
TWRP went away and I can't reinstall it. I've got my last TWRP backup, but I guess it's useless now. Fortunately my TiBu is solid.
Can I get back to 49.2 and how do I do it?
Thanks --
Could I Odin back to NB1, do Towelroot, re-install TWRP, and restore my backup?
Or will I brick my phone after Odining NB1 because I flashed GE 53 (OC3) from TWRP?
I really don't understand the whole qfuse thing very well. I mean, I understand how it works, technically (write a value to a register which applies voltage and "poof"), but I don't know when and when they won't blow.
OK! Got back to NJ4 with this process. My phone is now running a restore of my GE 49.2 backup.
Basically talking to myself here. Anyway......after restoring my backup I discovered that Wi-fi wouldn't switch on. After MUCH research and scrambling, I flashed ATT_NJ4_modules.zip from Safestrap, and all is well. Adventure complete.
