[Q] Rogers g2

I'm new to the g2 and don't know how to tell what roms are compatible with the Rogers g2. I was told that the boot.img for various d803s are different and I'm wondering how to tell if a rom is safe to flash or not. Thanks

Only install the ROM if it says it supports your model. The model number isn't just a superficial change. If you do flash it with something unsupported back everything up. EVERYTHING. Then prepare for some bricking down the road if you forget what you have done to it. I just did a full week of unbricking because my d803 got flashed by the previous owner with an ATT recovery which was somehow permitted because an unsupported ROM was flashed onto it.
Also, if you have a copy of the stock ROM on your phone… Can I have a copy?

So if it says it supports the d803 then am I good to go? And how would I go about copying the stock rom. I'm fully stock no changes.

You need to…
Root using this guide.
Install TWRP. Just use FreeGee http://bit.ly/FreeGee
Make backups. Follow this guide.
Move the backups onto your computer for safe keeping. (android file transfer software)
Then after all is said and done, you throw some roms into a rom folder that you make using android file transfer software. Reboot into the TWRP recovery and install the roms.

There's actually quite a bit now. There's Carbon, Mahdi, Paranoid Android, Beanstalk, Dirty Unicorns (running it right now and it's pretty damn good) and Hellfire KitKat. Although I had problems flashing Hellfire, so you might want to wait till the next release. :/

Yes. If you wipe internal storage its a pain in the a#$ to restore phone. So be careful not to wipe.

I never used freegee due to it being a paid app. I think I used the flashify app.

Hey man, I'm new like you. Yesterday I finally figured out what was the problem. You need to have TWRP 2.6.3.4 installed (you can install 2.6.3.2 and use it to flash the 2.6.3.4 zip file. I don't know why, but 2.6.3.2 won't flash 4.4 ROMS.
I'm using Paranoid Android's most recent ROM for the D803 and it's great. I use the Nova Launcher and it provides that little extra bit of customization. I removed all of the rogers bloat crap and the thing runs like a dream. No issues so far, at all.
If you need any help with anything, or with finding the .zip for TWRP 2.6.3.4 just shoot me a message and I'll see if I can help.
Good luck!

For the root, you will have to do it again. It's not a problem.
For Knox, make your own opinion
And read, read, read the topics

AFAIK, there are none. It is only that you have some Russian apps preinstalled on the system. You can remove them anyway.

How to get root on d80020c

OK so my first g2 got stolen, I filed a claim and the g2 shipped to my already has the KitKat update. I know that there isn't a root method for it yet so my question is can I downgrade using the method in the development then root with the method already known? Or do I have to just wait till a method is found for KitKat?

it has step by step to go back to stock 4.2, root, get recovery and flash like I said currently that is the only way for any device to keep recovery on kk(most devices with official kk and sources have got a specific rom to do so)

The methods you mentioned above seem fine, but isnt restoring my nand backup(backed up on a stock rom) and flashing a stock rec, then unrooting is the simplest way?

No, using the TOT method is the simplest and quickest way. Takes all of about 5 minutes.

are you sure that is the best method for the international model?
i have the 16GB model, and the download provided in the TOT section of the guide is for the french one.
should i wait for the 16gb kdz file from my country(israel)or flash the french one(i need hebrew stock)?

If you want you can try the "Method 2" version in that thread. I've used that as well and it was very painless.

I might try it in a few days when the official 4.4.2 update gets released here.
Just so i would know, will restoring my backup(it is stock 4.2.2, i'm currently on cm11 4.4.2), flashing a stock rec and unrooting work?and if it will, will it bring back OTA?

I honestly don't know, I don't even know if there's a file you can flash that restores it to stock recovery. Using the TOT or Method 2 is essentially a file that restores it to stock ROM and stock recovery, so that's the only way I would know. But I supposed you're more than welcome to try it and see if that works.

There is this website named storagecow
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/
And it has many firmwares available for download. As long as i download it in kitkat version, is it ok that i download the open europe version?
edit:in the open europe D802, the file's name doesn't state if it is 16 or 32GB, or even kitkat.
is it safe to use it with method 2?

Just make sure you're using the correct kdz for your device, do not flash another device's kdz file. So only download the version that's your phone.
