[Q] LG G2 100% Stock Firmware Bootloader and Recovery - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi i was recently playing around with my phone and i rooted it installed custom recovery using autorec app and installed custom roms and now i want to revert back to 100% stock. If i use the .kdz unroot method will it bring my device to 100% stock? will it remove the loki and upgrade the bootloader to as it was before on kit kat? Because when i used autorec there was a warning that it will downgrade my bootloader so will the unroot method bring everything back to stock as it was when i took it out of the box? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Return to stock with unlocked boot loader?

Is there an easy way to return to the latest stock rom or the one before the latest? When I received the M I have it didn't have the stock rom on it or a backup of the stock rom so I was hoping there was a way to return to stock but still keep my unlocked boot loader and re-root.
My goal is to return to stock, root, install recovery, make a backup so I have a stock backup then flash the current rom I'm using now. If anyone has or could tell me the steps I need I would appreciate it. I don't want to lose the boot loader unlock so I won't be able to install roms

It's impossible to re-lock your bootloader. You can use Avi's solution, you can flash the FXZ from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/scorpion_mini_xt907/list.php and re-root witth Motochopper or by flashing SU in recovery, or you can use Matt's utility 1.20 to flash to stock. There is also a pre-rooted, de-bloated ROM here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2408763 and stock flashable ROM here http://batakang.com/ftp/?dir=devs/mhous33/XT907.
Your easiest bet is to use Avi's solution or flash one of the last 2 ROMs I listed. If you FXZ back to stock or use Matt's utility, you'll need to re-install your aftermarket recovery. With the last 2 ROMs, they can simply just be flashed in your aftermarket recovery.

[Q] Never Mind. I'm an idiot.

I flashed back to stock D80010o firmware.
if I have to send phone back, is there any way for them to tell I've been in it? I flashed back to stock prior to accepting the OTA this time.
Is there any flag that gets tripped making it not quite "stock"
If you used the LG Flash tool to flash stock, the root checker should be reset. If you used a custom recovery / still have one, they'll know.

I used the LG Flash tool. But, it seems that the KitKat update went through finally. WooHoo!

[Q] go back to stock recovery

HI,
ive already read all the threads about flashing to stock. However im wondering if theres an easy way to get rid of TWRP so i have the original recovery so that i can OTA. Im currently on stock 4.2.2, rooted with xposed. Is there an easy way?

[Q] Does going back to stock with LG Flash tool also brings back default recovery?

Hey.
If I install TWRP recovery and then a custom rom.
If I go back to stock with LG Flash tool, will it remove TWRP also?
Since that'd be great for warranty purposes.
And another tiny question, I'm currently rooted, if I do a factory reset with button combination, it won't cause any problems?
Since I read that if you update to lolipop OTA while rooted your phone gets bricked.
Bump.

Stuck in Boot loop after Rooting

Guys i have 910F...Running ANK4 KITKAT. I tried to root it with CF-Auto-Root-trlte-trltexx-smn910f. The rooting tutorial said i had to disable auto reboot and should perform a battery pullout after rooting....everything went fine untill i pulled out the battery and put it back in after root...the phone turns on and says "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" And just restarts...i am stuck in a bootloop whenver i try to root it.....i was able to get the phone back online after flashing stock 4.4.4 in ODIN, but what am i doing wrong here....why cant i root this phone?
This happened to me yesterday - you cannot root a stock rom v5.1.1 with CF Auto Root, if you try it will end up in a bootloop. There is a way around this if you search the Note 4 CF Auto Root thread - pages 121 and 124 if i remember rightly.
But i am not on 5.1 i am on stock 4.4.4....anyone else might wana help?

4.4.4 what the hell is that?
If you try gingerbread, you will never update a rom. The best android on earth. (just after the eclair, froyo was a major disappointment)

Are you trying to keep a stock ROM and root it?
I would upgrade to lolipop. I run AICP on my n910f and I love it, best ROM for our phone at the moment in my opinion. To go to a custom lolipop from kitkat you'll need to first flash a lolipop stock ROM, here Then you can flash your custom recovery via odin. Then you can flash any custom ROM via zip file from your recovery software as usual. Custom ROMs are usually rooted by default already so once you've flashed it you're already rooted. If you search the forum you can find a rooted stock ROM if that is your preference.

Did you try a factory data reset after using autoroot? Go into the stock recovery and do a factory data reset after auto root and it may boot after that. If you want to keep 4.4.4 stock ROM then just flash an already rooted stock ROM. They're in the ROM section for your device. That's what I would do if you're having issues with cf auto root.
