Hello there and thank you for joining the discussion.
I have read so many stuff and information that I ended up confused.
As far as I understood... There is no ROOT or Custom Recovery for 4.4.2 yet
EXCEPT if you go:
back to 4.2.2
flash (with loki) a Recovery,
Upgrade to Philz CWM Recovery,
Install KK Baseband,
and then whatever KK Rom you want?
First and last BUMP.
(If none replies please delete it).

That's accurate. Philz CWM or TWRP(if you want to use custom roms based off of AOSP) and then KK Baseband (unless,again, you want to use custom roms, then forgo this step and flash whatever you want, they will come with kernels and basebands afaik
Alright! Thanks to both of you.

Hi there guys,
I've been used to flashing android devices in the past (+2 years ago), but I don't have much experience with it nowadays.
first my current situation:
-I'm running MJ7 atm, rooted with kingo
i'm looking fo flash note's 3 4.4.2 kitkat rom, or omega rom, or cm11
If I understood correctly:
1) install a clockwork mod recovery for my 9005
> what "image" do I use for that? clockwork mod recovery doesn't have the note 3 9005 in it's list
2) install another rom through clockwork mod recover?
I've already tried looking for answers on this forum, but either they aren't for my specific device, or it doesn't explain the steps
Any suggestions guys?
The custom recovery is needed because... samsung's recovery is limited or something?
Trying to find answers to these questions!
In case I overlooked some topics, feel free to point me towards them!
Thanks in advance!

OK, so before you flash you need to know that if you upgrade to 4.4.2 Official your bootloader upgrades and you cannot use CM nor can you go back to 4.3. SO you need to decide which you'd prefer to do.
As for recovery, yes you need a custom recovery to flash a custom mod. -- CWM by Chenglu is the only recovery that currently works on Kitkat 4.4.2.
TWRP/PhilZ/CWM work on 4.3 - so you can flash anything up until MK/ML*
CM11/OMEGA/CRASH/ALLIANCE etc all run on Mj7/MK2-3/ML2 currently so are compatible with your 4.3 build
Since you rooted via Kingo, is your KNOX preserved? because installing a custom recovery will void this.

First of all, I want to thank you for the swift response!
So basically:
-once I flash original 4.4.2 I get a new bootloader and I cannot install a different rom except stock one atm?
-If I flash CM11/Omega etc it's no issue.. Any idea why though? CM11 is also 4.4.2 based.. but it doesn't come with new restrictive bootloader I suppose?
-I rooted through kingo, and during boot I don't see any special "text", so I suppose my knox is preserved
-about the "voiding", I found a piece of text in the european law here about rooting and voiding warranty that will help me if I ever needed that warranty
-Question about CMW recovery: If I install it from the play store, what kind of "recovery" do I need to install? is there a Database for that or some sort?

1- Yup, once you get the new bootloader you can't downgrade, you can however flash ROMS which are created with this new bootloader, so far SweetROM, AndroidNow NG and(soon to be coming) AllianceROM are NA6 compatible.
2-CM was built on the old BL source, it'll probably eventually get updated to NA6 BL at some point, but for now it's based on MJ7 BL.
3/4- Yup if you are EU like myself, then KNOX warranty means nothing to us, I was just confirming you were aware of this
-- CWM has to be installed via ODIN, takes 20seconds to flash via PDA option in ODIN 1.85. CWM will be your main base recovery and you can install/wipe/mount etc as and when you need to.
*Side note, my advice, stick with your current bootloader and avoid the new kitkat bootloader, install CWM and flash in temasek's CM build and custom kernel. It's a fantastic build! just need to install the gAPPS to get Playstore and google apps etc - also Official Nightlies have been announced and are live by CM**
Any other queries just post away :good:

Where do we find that piece of law? Im just curious since I'm also knox 0x1 Hehe. Currently running Androidnow but after 1 day it seems that I have some forced reboots. Don't know where it comes from. I guess it's because I installed the rom from external sd.

Did you dirty flash? - try another ROM, that may be a little buggy... However I suspect you didn't do a full wipe and that's the issue with the FC's

I did the Cwm based Phil "prepare for other rom" wipe. Manual wipe would be better you think?

Nope, that wipe should be enough. Probably a buggy ROM. Try another and see if you have any issues.

Hi ,
I just got my G2 Yesterday , rooted and flash TWRP right away on the stock 4.2.2 . I am tempted to try out some Kit Kat based custom roms now. I have a few questions
1-) Can i directly flash KK based custom rom ( after a full wipe of 4.2.2 ) ?
2-) Would i be able to go back to my stock rom via nandroid after KK custom rom ? i.e going into recover and flashing the backup again ? ( heard there are not custom recoveries for KK ? )

1-) Yes, kinda. Just look for instructions in OP of the roms. This one works pretty well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2667714 (Only D802 there are LG KK Roms for other variants though, just search the forums)
2-) No, there's no custom recovery for 4.4.2 yet, but devs are getting close. Read more about that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2667227
Edit: One more thing: You can of course flash AOSP 4.4.2 roms and will keep custom recovery.

So if i understand correctly. There would be no going back from a KK based rom except using the LG tool to flash the stock KDZ right ?

Only AOSP? I just got this phone and I'm familiar with adb and the rooting/recovery process but does this mean I could install a 4.4.2 version of cyanogen or paranoid android or BeanStalk over 4.2.2 and keep my custom recovery?
sent from my potato
This depends on your variant. The D800 kitkat has been moded to allow a mixed match of partitions that allows the previous loki enabled recovery to run. This was released yesterday But Is only possible thanks to the release of the kernel source for the D800 from LG. Other variants will follow. In fact the D800 versions from AndroidUser0011001 and garyd9 will flash from your custom recovery, no LG Flashtool required

Thanks guys !
I think its better to stick with stock rooted for now and jump to KK when all the necessary stuff is made available. So that jumping between KK and JB is easy .
hello, just got this phone yesterday. are there rooted bin files/kdz files for kitkat for this phone? care to link me to one if there is? firmware doesnt matter thanks!
more questions: can i flash international kdz files onto my lg g2 (at&t)
i came from lg p925, and i'm just wondering if most things will be similar, like same lg flashtool application and r&d flasher stuff. thanks again haha
Don't every cross flash kdzs please I don't think you can anyway haha
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Free mobile app
any other comments? i dislike "think" xD
No cross flashing is a no for the device, some people do it at their own risk but with d800 a tot cross flash wouldn't work with the dll and tot file not matching the bin/model check just stick to the roms for your d800, as for flashing you can check out the back to stock thread on the general section and the method you would use is the flash tool with tot files

so after i root my phone, i can just use rom manager and flash cwm recovery, right? how do i enter recovery? i'm not familiar with lg g2 at all yet haha. and can i flash roms right afterwards? or do i need to install wkparks (or was that only for my previous phone)/uboot files?

Well to install recovery it depends if on 4.2 jb then which of all the versions are you on d80010d/o/q or are you in kk 4.4 d80020c/k
If on d80010q/o then downgrade to 10d then root and install custom recovery with freegee from play store, if on d80020c/k the you can install recovery via auto rec
If on 4.2 then after flashing recovery you can flash any aosp/jb Rom without worrying, but if you want a 4.4 stock/flex/pro 2 Rom then you will also need to flash a kk baseband, if on 4.4 then you can flash any 4.4 stock/flex/pro 2 Rom without issues but if you want aosp then you will need the kk baseband that's been ported to aosp or the jb baseband/If flashing 4.2 stock/flex based roms you will need the jb baseband, hopefully I am not forgetting anything

Well I am not sure what you mean, for d800 you can only use flash tool with tot files, if you are asking if there are pre rooted flashable tot files via flash tool then as far as I know their aren't any

Yes there is a way, theres an app you can install called Autorec, this application will automatically set up a Custom Recovery for you to backup your files, here's a Link to get started.

Thanks for the fast reply, well i read this comment on the link you game me, im just curious and also worried that i might brick my phone, cause im a total noob when it comes to these things,
Here's some of the comments i read about D802T
"Please note you cannot install custom recovery in stock KK via any method for the D802T Australian variant and get it to boot. LG has not released kernel source code for Aussie variant, for KK, so Loki exploit does not work. If you want a custom recovery under KK you will have to install a custom ROM with already patched kernel. If you plan to stay on JB 4.2.2, however, you can indeed root and/or install TWRP without hassle on stock."
"u cant use this on the Australian version D802T.
It will soft brick your phone."
Now what should i do? im just very confused.

there is a way to do it. Follow the guide and root kk but before you install autorec, make sure you have a custom rom zip ready to go on your phone sdcard and whilst still in TWRP (dont try to boot into kk yet), simply flash your custom rom, and then the phone will boot normally.
Hi guys,
I'm a newbie in this rooting world. So please bear with me. I know this forum will help me solve my problems and answer my questions so here goes.
The problem is I can't flash any rom. I'm having this error
"E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/Download/CM12/CM-12-20150802-NIGHTLY-D802.zip"
What I did was
-Rooted my phone
-Install AutoRec to install TWRP Recovery
-Install quickboot
-Reboot into recovery
_Update my TWRP recovery to 2.8.7.1 bumped
-Backed up my everything
-Wipe everything (except Internal Storage)
-Install CM12 alongside with GAPPS
Now everytime I flash a rom I end up with that error.
My device is
LG G2 D802 Rooted Running on 5.0.2 Stock ROM.
Can somebody help me please? It will be much appreciated.
Thanks XDA Members.
Can you also suggest some good ROMS compatible with my device?
Thank you.
I got exactly the same message on my d802.
Unfortunately, I wiped my system and it rebooted with a "security error" message. I had to restore a stock LP ROM using LG's Mobile Support Tool program.
@audit13 and @markl098 official cm12 might be still using the old loki method of installing so it will need the jellybean bootloader. Most of the times if you get that error you are using a rom which is using loki on a kitkat bootloader. I suggest to use nevax bootloader changer and flash the rom. You might also need another modem for it. Search it on the forum which modem you need for the official cm12, you probably need kitkat aosp modem from dr87.
I also suggest to look for the newer roms in the forum here in xda as most of them are all using new caf sourcecode and running on lollipop bootstack with bump. (Ofcourse kitkat bootloader)
Audit13 the security error probably happend because you wiped the system but the boot.img remained and loki isn't signing the boot.img with an lg key so it will result on kitkat bootloader in an security error. With bump that problem is fixed as the kernels are getting signed with an lg key. I hope you guys can flash now happy further with no probs

Thank you so much for your answer. I can't find much info on that regard. Things becoming more clear now. Can I ask one more question?
I was on stock, decide to try SlimSaber, which is quite nice by the way. So, I rooted my D800 and got TWRP. Then flashed Loki's lollipop bootstack (bootstack-d800-LP_30d-loki-signed.zip) recommended by OP and ROM and GAPPS. Everything works perfect. Now if I want go for 4.4.2 based stock ROM for example I should flash K.K bootstack before? I found this file - bootstack-d800-KK_20y-v1.1-blastagator-signed.zip. So is this mandatory always flash bootstack before upgrading downgrading, right? I can't find any detailed info on this in XDA unfortunately.
Thank you for your time.

Ehhm. You can try it. The reason why is because the use of bootstacks became more since lollipop. You can try it. Perhaps it works else you could always autorec and then folllow the guide on how to flash. I can test it perhaps also for you later. Ofc with my d802 version but I am still underway from heading back so I can test jt only from wednesday
@audit13 no problem. :good: enjoy

Can you tell me how did you do it ? I'm really new to this.
Edit:
NVM, I figured it out. I just used the nevax's bootloader changer. Changed to JB Bootloader and now I can flash custom roms with no errors. Thank you @wulsic
