Can I flash a non stock kit Kat Rom - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the flashable through recovery version of stock kit Kat. Since I did not use a LG tool to flash it, can I still flash another non stock kit Kat Rom or do I have to downgrade. I still have twrp so I'm guessing I should Be ok, just worried about partitions.

Do you have custom recovery? Then yes. Are you referring to ROM's like CloudyFlex, etc?

Ya twrp, went to install Mahdi Rom for d801 and got horrible reception and no data, so was curious if it's a kitkat doing it.

Did you flash the KitKat radio before flashing Madhi?

I flashed after installing , tried the new gummy same reception but with data, also flashed furnace 2.0 kernal but after install of ROM. Do I do it before?

You flashed this radio right? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705509
Also, if you wish to use stock KK ROM's just wipe and flash away.

Yeah I flashed that and than tried a T-Mobile only modem, no auto rotate either so that might be the problem

Galaxy s4 help

Just got my s4 and was wondering if I can just root it and install a custom tw based kernel on the stock rom?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Yes you can root it, use cf-autoroot and then install a custom recovery so you can install the kernel you want to use.

For you to get the new update, you atleast need to be on stock rooted with no mods whats so ever and have stock recovery. And you can get update but if you have custom recovery its aborts it
Ok thanks i just got my s4 like 2 days ago lol i love it its so much better than the s3

The md5s all check out tho so it shouldn't be bad downloads. It seemed to back up and restore fine but I couldn't flash sacs rom and couldn't flash a different recovery. In a sense can I re-download twrp by flashing another kernel with mobile Odin then using Goo manager to reinstall twrp?

Use 4.4.2 Stock Recovery to Flash Zips

Hi,
Is it possible to use the stock recovery to Flash zips? Alternatively will using the app Flashify to Flash the zips cause any issues? This is for a D802 on 4.4.2.
Thanks
Sean

From what I remember, the stock recovery doesn't have that function.

Ditto
Stock only flashes signed zips. Like official ota and such.
Flashify to flash, well all depends what it is. U can flash recoveries safely but not stuff that is in operation. Some, maybe like sound mods that require reboot.

No Accelerometer G2

Hey Guys, I searched and couldn't find anything. I have my G2 D800 unlocked with the Loki'd Philz touch, when I install a new rom, everything works, except the accelerometer. It says it's just not there. I have tried SlimKat, LiquidSmooth, CM, and Carbon, all have the same problem, am I missing something?
You need to flash the kitkat baseband

How to upgrade!

So the last 2 times I have updated ota I have gone into a bootloop. I tried complete wipe then flashing kk modem then pa and pa gapps to only be stuck in another boot loop! At this point I'd just like to be able to get a 4.4 rom. How do I do it without bootlooping? Thanks!
Here's my software info!

Download a 4.4 ROM from here, copy it to your phone, then flash it in recovery.
