How do I switch a rom? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have installed CloudyStock 1.3 ROM in my LG G2 and also installed simple kernel v1. I am interested switching to CloudyFlex 2.1 and how should I switch to Cloudyflex and also the kernel to normal one? Please help me.
Thanks

Well you switch pretty much the same way you install. Download the ROM of your choice and (since you're already on the kk baseband because you're using cloudystock) flash in recovery. Wipe from front to back and then flash the ROM (cloudyflex in your case). If you have intentions of maybe going back to a jb based ROM, simply flash the ROM of your choice and flash your device specific baseband/modem after the ROM or before you reboot (as I have been doing) and wallah, magic.
As far as kernels go, flash it as you did when you flashed cloudystock (assuming its designed to run with the ROM)

Your reply answered all my queries. Thanks! One last question will flashing the new rom make the kernal to the default one or I need to download the default lg kernel and flash it?

Custom Rom on Samsung I9100 kf1

I have a KF1 firmware which is stock. Now i want to install custom ROM using ROM Manager on MY SGS2. But then I want to use KJ3 custom ROM. Is it possible? Because when I try installing it using CWM on recovery mode and ROM Manager, it is simply not working.
I hope someone could me out here.
Thanks
Is your phone rooted? If not you may need to do a bit of research on how to flash custom kernels and how to use Odin. Its not hard to do, but it very easy to stuff the phone if not done properly.
I have rooted my phone using custom kernel. I use CF-root.
But my Firmware is still kF1. I am now trying to update it to 3.3.5 using odin.
how were you trying to flash the custom rom? Just need to see if your missing a step
Guys, thanks...
I have read bunch of new ideas here.
Currently I am using stock KI3 and want to use the Kitchen Room Ki3 which is Deodexed Rom to install some good themes.
I am right on these?
Odexed = stock rom
deodexed = custom rom?
Not exactly. We have some custom odexed ROMs too ;-) But, you will never see stock deodexed ROM for sure.

Go into recovery.
Flash a GB kernel (franco in my case)
reboot into recovery (do not boot into android: menu: Advanced->reboot recovery)
flash GB rom, of restore backup. (backup in my case)
reboot
Worked for me.
I was on ICS. went back to GB using the above method.
Ah kernel first. Okay illl give it a shot thanks

Yes, because then you will have a GB compatible Recovery.

[*]flash GB rom, of restore backup. (backup in my case)
if i do not have backup, can i flash GB ROM direct? GB ROM can be cook ROM or must be Stock ROM?
Thank you.

Either stock ROM or cooked. If you use stock, you will have to root again, so make sure you use a stock rom which can actually be rooted or you'll have to flash another. I think it's just easiest to go straight to a cooked ROM.

You cannot flash a stock rom through Recovery, you'll need Odin to flash a Stock ROM.

Back to stock I think

I have purity ROM and kernel and love it but my 3g signal is bad in places I got signal before custom rom ??
Shame really

that has to do with your provider and maybe your radio. it has nothing to do with your rom. even so, there are many other roms/kernels to try, or different radios.
So returning to stock won't change the radio back as I had no issues on stock ROM and kernel ???

you can use whichever radio you want, grab one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087227
flashing roms doesnt change the radio, so whichever one you had before, you still have. unless you personally changed it. flashing the stock factory img will change your radio to whichever radio was around when that stock factory img was uploaded.

you wont get an ota. just wait until 4.3 comes out, to update to a 4.3 custom rom or a stock rooted rom. itll be available the same day that 4.3 hits officially, or the next day. then youll flash it in your twrp recovery like you would normally do.

[Q] How to get up to date from an old root+unlock

I rooted my Razr M early on. I'm running TWRP v2.2.2.1 (i guess that means i'm unlocked? it's been a long time)
How can I swap over to CWM easily and change roms? I just want to update, i'm on the stock rom that's old and I want the new android updates without OTAing yaknow?
I'm not clueless just out of the loop so any help would be awesome, thanks
So you want a custom ROM or latest OTA update?
If you are running TWRP, then you are unlocked, and nothing can change that.
If you want a custom ROM (4.2.2 or 4.3.1) just update your TWRP to the latest version (via fastboot or Matt's utility) and flash whatever ROM and gapps combination suits your needs.
As for running the latest stock build, the easiest way is again to use Matt's utility.

Honestly i'd like to just have a rooted stock build, simply because i like the quick settings in the moto ROM better than some of the more advanced features of the new roms.
I can't change from TWRP? Wanted to swap over the CWM, i'm much more familiar with that. I'll google matt's utility but if you've got a link that would be awesome. Thanks for your help bud

I'd just update your twrp and flash the stock debloated deodexed... here the link to the topic of Matt's utility tho..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249773
Edit... just read you pefeer CWM just flash the most recent CWM... although I am not familiar with it and its compatibility with any 4.3 ROMs.... I haven't looked into it all so whatever recovery suits you...

[Q] Unable to boot Stock based ROMS [D800]

Hey everyone, sorry if this question has been answered already. I have sifted through pages and pages in this forum and haven't found a solution for my D800.
My G2 is rooted, with TWRP installed. I was successful in flashing Paranoid Android v4 beta 4, and 5. The problem arises when I try to flash LG Stock based ROMS. After TWRP says flashing was successful and I try to reboot, the screen shows LG logo for a second and turns blank!! That's it just a clear black screen, and the ROM doesn't boot at all.
The ROMs I tried and failed to boot:
1. Aeon
2. Korean stock based rom
3. Scott's CleanROM
4. Rayglobe 3.2
5. Rayglobe Flex ROM v4
Now, I know that sometime ROMs take time to boot on the first run, so I even tried leaving it at the blank screen for 15-20 mins with no result. Since it has been the same result for multiple ROMs, it definitely isn't a bad install or a bad ROM download either. I hope not
Is there anything I am missing in the steps? All ROMs were installed after factory resetting through TWRP (no dirty flash). I am baffled with this, please let me know if I need to revert to software version "d" for these ROMs to work?
TIA

Did you factory reset after as well? If I recall correctly Paranoid Android is AOSP. What kernel are you running?
sounds like you are onn the 10o update. You will need to flash back to stock 10d with lg flash tool and then root and install recovery again. Then you should be good to go on flashing roms. I know that some of the newest versions of TWRP and Philz have issues flashing some roms too so that may also be the cause. If you downgrade the recovery you have to the version right before it may fix your issue also

Exactly, AOSP ROMs are booting up fine but not the Stock based ones.. I am not flashing any kernels, just the ROM, so I'm assuming it will run on either the stock kernel or the kernel included in the ROM zip?
Have you been successful in installing such ROMs? Am I missing something in the wiping part? Only been doing the factory reset in TWRP before installing any ROM.
Check m
And make sure that you are running the stock kernel. Are you on the 10o update?

Oh, I hadn't thought about anything being wrong with the recovery.. Always assumed it gets the work done
How do I find previous versions of TWRP compatible with D800?

Yes I am on 10o.. Does it have issues with installing other Stock ROMs? If yes, I'll try to follow the thread on using LGFlash tools, I've never done that before. Hopefully its not much difficult to follow the instructions.
That is one of the easiest guides to follow. Be sure to follow the correct set of instructions(depends on carrier) and download the the 10d version.

I'm stuck in the process! Can't change the com port number to 41. The guide is pretty easy to understand. But when I put my phone is download mode and try to change the com port number, it says I don't have the write privileges for this device's setting. I've tried it on both Win 7 and Win 8 laptops, with LG mobility drivers installed.
Is there something in the phone settings I need to enable so that I get the write privileges to change com port number?
Do you have administrator privileges?

Yay!!! Finally did it!
Issue 1: If faced with write privileges for com port (tried successfully in Win 8)
Solution: After going in to com port properties, click "change settings" and there is the option to change com port number.
Issue 2: Once the port number was changed to 41, rest of the instructions are easy to follow on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2633150
Once on D80010d, I rooted with ioroot22, and installed recovery using FreeGee. Just installed Rayglobe 3.2 minutes ago, and it finally booted up!!!
So, the bottomline is that go back to D80010d if you wanna play with Stock based ROMs! I flashed with TWRP 2.6.3.3, so the fault is not with the recovery. That much I can confirm
Thanks for the suggestions guys. Thread solved I guess.
Great. Glad to hear it.

Thanks for the input. Before I flashed back to D80010d today, I installed older versions of Philz and TWRP but neither helped. So downgrading was sort of a compulsion, in my case at least.
and the moral of the story is, unless you are getting an android version upgrade in the update, do not take the update.
