MF9 and AOSP roms

I just tried to flash a couple AOSP roms (CM & Pac) for the first time since updating to MF9, and the roms won't flash. I get an "assert failed" error and some verbiage about the build.prop not showing jfltespr, which is not the case (I'm using TWRP, by the way). I'm assuming that this has something to do with the new MF9 bootloader, correct? Is there any way around this without going back to MDL? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I get a status 7 error in CWM when trying to update.

I updated to TWRP 2.6 and it works fine now.

[Q] Help with Buckeye V2 Rom

Hey guys I'm new here with my LG G2 (D801 T-Mobile) and was trying to flash the Buckeye V2 rom onto my phone. I'm using TWRP 2.6.3.2 to install the rom. Yes I've rooted it and installed the recovery, backed up the stock root, and wiped before installation. For some reason after I install and system reboot, the phone starts with LG software still (albeit there's a google launch screen after an initial "LG" shows up). The build number in my system settings read Buckeye V2, but obviously I'm not running Kit Kat like I'm supposed to be (android version still 4.2.2). Anyone know how to fix this or am I doing something wrong still?

Bump

I may be wrong here since the description is not very clear but the ROM is a kitkat themed stock Rom but not an actual android 4.4 Rom.

Keep in mind that it might be ME that's wrong about all this. I'm new like I said.

I totally just got what you said and I'm facepalming myself. It's a themed rom to look like 4.4 but not an actual rom for 4.4? Got it. Even if that were the case, something went wrong since the interface is exactly the same as before I flashed it on there..

It has 4.4 apps and boot animation from kitkat..... the rest is a 4.2 rom

Maybe cause your not reading. Questions go on the Q&A forum. You don't have enough space to create a ROM slot try deleting some stuff than try creating a ROM slot again.

.. No you aren't reading if you are trying to flash omega. Go back to the thread. Only certain Touch wiz based roms work, and only the 4.2.2 versions

It doesn't have to be a touch wiz rom it only has to be 4.2.2. This why GPE version 4.2.2 works.
Are you sure you installed the 4.2.2 version of Omega?
The correct link to the working version of Omega can be found in the OP here.
Edit: Just looked at the link and it appears he pulled the 4.2.2 version of Omega. I know the 4.2.2 version works because I am running it.
May look through the Omega thread and see if you can find a link to the 4.2.2 version.

Thanks for catching that. You are correct. The one linked is for a TW version.
Thanks for correcting me however Omega for the I9505 is TW based and works.

Just a careful issue, as it appears to be possible to ensnare yourself in a situation only a authorized retailer like Best buy can get you out of.

No need for Best Buy anymore as the MF3 ODIN files have been released.
Matter of fact people are flashing over their MF3 stock slots now with Safestrap since this is now released and you can recover back to MF3 without Best Buy.

Can you still get to flash mode? Thought it went to the dreaded contact ATT boot screen.
Sent from my i337 MF3 using tapatalk.

As long as you can get into download/odin mode you should be able to recover.
Lot's of people have recovered the MF3 devices without going to best buy.
If you can't get into download mode, I'm not even sure if BB would be able to flash the phone to recover.

can i go back to 4.2.2 from 4.3?

hey guys... im on 4.3 MK2 rooted, can i install a 4.2.2 rom stock or custom ?? with 4.2.2 modem and bootloader.
thanks.

If you updated by keeping the MF9 bootloader you can go back to stock. If you took the OTA however, you can only downgrade to 4.2 with a custom ROM.

but i can downgrade to 4.2 (100% 4.2) using a custom rom?? or i will be on 4.2 but with the same new bootloader?
what custom rom would work in my case? if you can give me a link to one.. there are so many here.

If you're on the MJA or MK2 bootloader, you're stuck with it.
And why would you want to go back to 4.2? Any ROM would work, but seems kind of pointless.

i downgraded the modem to mdc and did the unlock process. it worked, i can make and receive calls but when the phone is going to 3g i get a error message "LTE esm 29 emm-x cannot establish wireless data connection" nobody else had that issue.. i dont know if hte fact that my phone is not activated on spring is relevant.. it shouldn't be, because im using the phone outside the US.
i dont know what to do to make this thing work.. i have flashed from mdc to mk2 or mja like 5 times and i always get the same message.

probably because it hasnt been updaed in GooManager to support the L720T.
I believe there is a TAR file that you can flasg via ODIN. Philz has a great recovery that works and is based on CWM.

You can use any s4 rom I believe, but you will lose the Spark function of the T model if the rom doesn't support it.
Main thing, have a good Nandroid of your working touchwiz system, flash new rom, if you boot loop, nandroid back to your working system.

Before you install a ROM and after making a nandroid. Restore it to make sure it backed up correctly.

Make a note of your firmware and baseband as you may need to reflash to the correct firmware in order to have the best experience. I'm still on MK5. I have decided to be patient and wait. The spark is very noticeable compared to my s3 (i had).
