So I'm new to rooting and custom roms in general and excuse my language but kind of a *****. I have the files to root my G2 and it shows up on adb devices. I'm only doing this because my battery life is really subpar and I'm hoping a root and custom rom will help me with this.
Now once I was rooted I was thinking of installing Malladus. I am having a little trouble figuring out the safest way to do this. I was told to root then download and flash a custom recovery using GooManager. How exactly do I do this?
Once that is done the instructions say:
Instructions
1. wipe data (if coming from ANY other rom)
2. wipe cache
3. flash ROM
4. flash LG Apps
5. flash GApps
6. let phone sit for a few minutes once booted to settle (a lot is done on first boot)
Now what exactly does the first instruction mean? Should I wipe my data if coming from a stock LG that is just rooted? After that I just select the option "wipe cache" on GooManager and make sure those downloads are in that order and hit flash no?
Thank you in advance. I have searched the forums but haven't found the exact answers I was looking for.
I would go to the twrp thread in the LG g2 original dev forum first

I'm still a little confused. I did some research on TWRP but still don't know exactly what it is. Also to install it I put it on the (by the directions)
Download the above file and place it in /sdcard on your device. Using adb shell or terminal emulator:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfilename.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
Make certain that you get this command right. Typing the wrong number could result in a brick!

What exactly is that doing? Also were is the /sdcard on our device? Thirdly... lol what do they mean by typing the wrong number?
Thank you for your response. Sorry for being new to this.
First that thread should take you to a root method once rooted we can install twrp which allows you to make backups of your current ROM. And more importantly try out new ROMs on your system. It's like saying once I'm tired of Windows XP I can flash/install 7. If I don't like it I can restore the old backup. Except in this case it's versions of android or modified android os that allows for new and exciting options. Root allows you to modify your cutrent ROM choice further. You can install fonts,themes, control battery draining applications, hide your nav buttons for more screen when you don't use them. If you are not in the know I suggest you do lots of research. In some cases we will be able to use applications we normally couldn't even applications from other phones once they are ported. ...essentially it's your ticket to be able to do the magical things the normal consumer says" " I wish my phone could do that" but except they can't because they don't have root or a custom recovery to make it happen. Step one is baby steps because brick is a nasty word you don't want to mutter.
Get rooted. Install a program called adb and install the LG drivers for your phone. There are step by step guides on how to do this and you might need to follow them into other links for guides to get from a to b. Once adb can see the phone. ..warning this is command line. Then you can download twrp IN SOME CASES YOU NEED TO ONLY DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL FILES BUILT FOR Your PHONES MODEL/Carrier and push it to the phone. Install it with ADB. Once you're there your fairly safe. Now your boot into recovery and make a backup reboot your phone and at least go visit a stock ROM thread for your model phone. There should be a development thread for each carrier.

I already am rooted. That part was easy. It was basically run adb devices, make sure device was there, run root.bat, follow instructions, and boom. The flashing a recovery and flashing a custom rom is what really confuses me. I have done research but have not found a step by step guide (that I understand well enough) yet on how to install whatever I need to do this.
What carrier you have?

Again this is my paranoid self speaking. It says I want adb working. If I was able to open the command window within my root folder on my desktop and run "adb devices" and see my LG then I have adb working? If so how is that the hard part, all you have to do is download and install the drivers for the phone to get that to work.
I plan on making my own step by step guide on rooting and flashing a custom recovery after this (with pictures) for people like me.
After that the commands to run the twrp install ate not that much more complicated

1st link there really couldn't be a better resource.
Download Verizon twrp. Open adb folder. Find the adb in sdk or bin run as administrator. Copy and paste the commands. You should put twrp in the same folder adb cmd prompt is ran from after downloaded. That's it. I'd use option 2. Afterward you'll,learn you can download goomanager from market and do it with 1 click. ..

Where exactly do I put these files? Inside the folder that has the root.bat file I used to originally root my device? Also once I execute these commands what is going to happen?
I have rooted my ATT g2 and am now wondering which recovery to use. Do twrp and cwm both work with my g2?

The reason I ask is because I just came from my s4, and after the MF3 update debacle we were unable to use cwm. I am used to cwm, but I think I'll give twrp a try as long as it works!

Hi,
i came from the S2 and got the G2 since saturday. I read here and in a german forum that die CWM is a little bit buggy, so is used TWRP. It´s faster und got some more options.

Even though you are rooted, make sure you have the latest SuperSU and Busybox installed and working. I found that when I initially rooted my LG G2, all apps had root access by default and without prompting, which is a major security issue.

Thats pretty much what I did, previously i had tried to flash a bunch of other img's but they were not loki-enabled. I just downloaded the same file as you and used flashify.
I opened flashify > clicked recovery image > used flashify explorer > located the recovery.img file > clicked yes to the prompt > then rebooted.....boom done.
I am using a VZW G2...it had the latest stock build....running CM 10.2 m1 now

From lurking around some other threads this issue DOES seem to be caused by trying to do something other than the exact steps listed in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448925 thread.
I was able to install Safestrap by doing a complete factory restore, wiping everything, doing a saferoot install (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758) and then following the instructions in the first link to install safeboot.
I believe this is related to using another kind of rooting program. I originally rooted using the Kingo method and actually began to flash CWM on my MK2 (which is wrong and bad and apparently won't work). Something got borked along the way. Do what I did and factory reset it and try the correct steps again!
Good luck!:good:

Anyone fix this? I am having the same issue on a S3, I just Odin'ed back to stock, installed Saferoot and tried and am still getting the parse error.
I have this problem some times and my issue come from downloading the app from my phone try downloading from comp then transfering to phone
Do or do not there is no try
Here is how to get to OA6 100% stock:
1. DL Odin 3.09
2. DL stock OA6 TAR
3. Make a backup of your apps/data (TiBu/Helium/etc). MAKE SURE THE APP/DATA BACKUPS ARE TO YOUR EXT SD CARD!!!
BACKUPS (from TiBu and apps like that) PROBABLY WILL NOT WORK GOING FROM 4.4.4 TO 5.0!
4. Go into recovery and do a factory reset and wipe system/internal sd/cache/dalvik. Power off phone completely!
5. Power on into Download Mode and flash the stock OA6 tar (put it in "AP/PDA" in Odin).
**6. Do a factory reset in the stock recovery after you flash the tar (not necessary but deff won't kill ya!). **OPTIONAL
7. In "About Device" your baseband and software should now end in OA6 and Android version should be 5.0. If they are not, then you did something wrong, go back to step 2 and try a redownload, and reflash of stock OA6 tar.
**OPTIONAL: Root** 8. DL CF-Auto Root.
9. Place in PDA/AP slot in Odin and run it.
10. DL a custom recovery of your choosing and flash.
11. Reboot to recovery and FLASH THIS (SuperSU v2.45). Now root should work reliably on Lollipop (THANKS CHAINFIRE!!)
12. Download and install MOAR v6.0! **If you do this no need to do steps 13 & 14!**
13. Download and flash Knox Removal to get rid of Knox. BE SURE TO THANK TDUNHAM!
14. Get flashlight toggle as well as plenty others with THIS APP!
15. PROFIT!

Some people seem to be having trouble, so I thought this might help you guys out.
1. DL this stock NCB tar.
2. Take out your EXT SD Card (if you have one).
3. Flash the stock NCB tar (put it in "PDA" in Odin).
4. Do a factory reset in the stock recovery after you flash the tar (not necessary but deff won't kill ya!).
5. Reboot into Download Mode and make sure it says ROM type= OFFICIAL! If it says custom you will not be able to take the OTA.
6. Reboot, check for the OTA to "ND2" and wait for it to complete.
7. Your baseband and software should now end in ND2. If it does not, then you did something wrong, go back to step 1 and try a redownload, and reflash of stock NCB tar.
8. Re-root.
Also if someone that has SuperSU PRO version, can check if "Survival Mode" works for the GS5, that'd be awesome!

I don't see the big deal with upgrading to ND2. Haven't read that it allows the download booster to work...lol
This what is suppose to be updated:
Google search results are no longer included in the list when using S Finder
Fixed device responsiveness when using S View Cover
Enable camera capture during voice call
Fixed alarm failure when deleting alarm
Fixed email duplication, when moving an email from original folder to another folder the email should only be viewable in the moved to folder
FYI personally like how the S finder pulled up google search stuff.
That's what I thought, thanks.

If and when I get the notification I will not be updating. I just press and hold the notification and go into "app info" menu and disable notifications.

Sorry if this is asking the obvious, but this will erase everything? Will I need a titanium backup or something to restore app/settings?

Sorry, great point. I will add to the post to make a backup of your apps/data (TiBu/Helium/etc).
I did NOT do (6) the factory reset...
I have SuperSU PRO... "Survival Mode"... SuperSU PRO did not stick...
Now on ND2, rerooted, TWRP'd...
restored via Titanium...
had to rerun SDFix...
Thanx

Ehh, the factory reset can only help, not hurt haha, so I will leave it in there as an option. But thank you for testing Survival Mode on SuperSU Pro. Can anyone else test/confirm this too please. Thanks guys!

Some people seem to be having trouble, so I thought this might help you guys out.
1. DL Odin 3.09
2. DL this stock NCB tar. ----- Here is a faster/better DL mirror! Thanks to @ChaddyPaddy ----- And yet another mirror! Thanks to @roadrunnrr
3. Make a backup of your apps/data (TiBu/Helium/etc). MAKE SURE THE APP/DATA BACKUPS ARE TO YOUR EXT SD CARD!!!
4. Take out your EXT SD Card (if you have one).
5. Flash the stock NCB tar (put it in "AP/PDA" in Odin).
6. Do a factory reset in the stock recovery after you flash the tar (not necessary but deff won't kill ya!).
7. Reboot into Download Mode and make sure it says ROM type= OFFICIAL! If it says custom you will not be able to take the OTA.
8. Reboot, check for the OTA to "ND2" and wait for it to complete.
9. Your baseband and software should now end in ND2. If it does not, then you did something wrong, go back to step 1 and try a redownload, and reflash of stock NCB tar.
10. Re-root.
Also if someone that has SuperSU PRO version, can check if "Survival Mode" works for the GS5, that'd be awesome!

Thanks for the steps!
however, that does seem like a big pain in the butt..
why don't people just wait for the new stock rooted rom of that version and just flash that?!?

They don't necessarily repackage the ROM with every update. I did the upgrade just to get the baseband update. Not too painful at all.

If you read steps before hand and have a speedy internet connection. This shouldn't take more than 10-20min! Painless!
Guys...can't anyone make an app to navigate the power menu with volume buttons so that we can do a soft reboot in case of a screen freeze in Zenfone 5.

This is not a thing that can be bypassed, it's very ramdom, and crashs all Android system, so there's no way a app can intercept this.
I'm talking about an app that can at least make the power menu accessible through volume rocker keys so that a soft reboot can easily ve performed in case of a screen freeze...

As I said, the whole Android system freezes, not the screen only (one example of this is if you are listening music or watching a video, the audio freezes too). So there's no way to access power menu, the only thing we can do is a forced shutdown.
Well the incoming calls still show and downloads still continues...even installation...so...maybe the whole system does not freeze I think...

In my phone, all system, apps and tasks freeze. If I wait 2 minutes, the device reboots automatically.

I tried this, but the freeze frequency increased. But maybe work in OP phone.
That's a really risky process as I don't know if my AICP rom will support anwarmov's kernel.
I think actually the issue comes from some problem in partitions...my screen freeze started when during flashing some error occured...u know...the error shows during flashing any file...
The flash becomes successful though...
Also pc fails to recognize the device after the error started occuring...
This one is the error.

If you can install zips and use TWRP, this isn't a error.
