I know this has probably been asked before but Is the bootloader locked down on the lg g2 or can I unlock it and run a custom recovery. I recently bought a Galaxy s4 and cannot unlock this phone.
Well you don't really need an unlocked bootloader to flash custom recovery and custom Roms. Root with ioroot (makes the efs backup as well), use freegee for custom recovery and flash away!

I'm considering purchasing an on contract LG G2 from videotron. The D801V11B.
Is there any support for their variant in the development community? I found no mention of a custom recovery.
Can I use the normal root method method
and use the T-Mobile D801 recovery?
I'm not interested in the phone unless i could load up a seriously UN-bloated rom.
Hey don't know if you're still interested but i was able to root and install twrp on this phone!
Can you show me how you got the recovery. Plz reply!

Hello, I currently have a AT&T S4 i337 unlocked by the *#0011# method to work with Claro. I want to flash a custom rom in it but im not sure if the method is gonna stay or if I have to do it again or so.
Does that unoock method unlocks forever the device even if I flash a cutom rom, recovery or kernel???

Ok so I bricked my att LG g2 phone few weeks ago and flashed it back to stock d80010d and updated to d80010o and to d80010q and then rooted it with ioroot24 and since then trying to install cwm or twrp recovery with all known methods but no luck so thought of updating to dorimax kernel but it also does not flash, so is there is no way at this time that I can custom recovery into my phone now?

Im thinking about geting the g2 because its cheap and very powerful. Im just wondering what kind of phone is it and is it hard to get custom roms installed? On my huawei acsend p6 it was easy to prepare the device for custom roms.
Easy. Almost too easy. Root with ioroot or even towelroot, install autorec apk and there you have your custom recovery!

Oh cool even easier than on my huawei... 1st you needed chinese firmware for unlocked bootloader then using adb flash twrp.img and after that you can install custom roms
Hi guys I'm a noob with the nexus 7.
Is it as simple as these steps?
Fastboot oem unlock (unlock bootloader)
Then flash a custom recovery like TWRP.
Finally flash a custom rom?
Thanks
