I'm currently running an LS980 with a CM10.2 nightly with TWRP and either ZV8 or ZV7–they both have the same baseband? This was all the latest and greatest as of when I updated in December.
Now I'm trying to just to a decent CM11 or Pacman ROM, but I'm getting confused as I wade through disorganized threads with people with questions not related to my setup. There's a whole mess of downgrades and autorec and ioroot and other tools that I don't know if I need.
So I have CM10 and old TWRP, what do I need to do for a stable CM11?
Thanks a ton!
1. Download your rom and Gapps (usually provided on the rom thread)
2. Copy your rom and Gapps to your internal sd card (on your phone)
3. Boot into recovery
4. Wipe Data/Factory, wipe System, wipe dalvik cache
5. Install your rom first, then Gapps
6. Reboot
7. Profit !
As long as you stick with CM or other aosp-based roms, you're good to go. You don't need to do fancy things to have a working kitkat rom with root and recovery.
If you want a Stock KitKat rom, then you're going to need IOroot 2.5 to root your G2 and then use AutoRec (provided by cloudyfa) to get a working recovery.
That's it !
Edit: think about updating your recovery beforehand, it won't hurt and may save you from going back to square one

Hi everyone,
I'm planning on upgrading my Nexus 4 to KitKat.
Currently I'm using PA 3.69 (4.2.2) with Franco Kernel and CWM Recovery.
1. What files do I need to flash for the upgrade, possibly with links? (I'm going for Purity ROM)
2. In what order should I do the flashing process?
3. Should I upgrade CWM before flashing, and if yes, which is the latest version that supports 4.4 and how does upgrading work?
Thanks in advance
If you want to install stock KK, you can download the factory Occam images and install via fastboot.
If you want to install a custom rom, you may need to update your recovery to the latest version and flash a KK rom that includes an updated radio and boot img.
So you think I can:
1. Upgrade CWM to 6.0.4.5 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198942
2. Flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545838, since it includes Bootloader and Radio.
3. Flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281607 (Purity ROM)
4. Flash any desired Kernel (e.g. Franco) and use Titanium backup to restore my apps?
U just have to download the Rom. Install it. Set it up. Then boot back into recovery and install the kernel
I don't think u have to update CWM. So just steps 3 and 4
I'm asking cause I am coming from 4.2.2 with old radio and bootloader and I want the most up-to-date ones.
And I am sure that just flashing the rom will cause problems... What do I need to wipe prior to flashing?

I checked the links. Your method seems to be OK.
As for wiping, you need to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache from the recovery when you flash the Purity Rom
Everything has worked flawlessly. Thanks!
Hi,
I want to try my first ROM on my LG G2 D802 and found the Pardus ROM interesting because it has a lot of features built in I was going to try anyway (Xposed, camera, G3 keyboard, etc.)
In his topic I can find the following instructions for installation:
•Upgrade your Recovery to TWRP 2.7.0.0 or Latest Philz Recovery
•Backup your ROM (if needed)
•Full Wipe (Dalvik, Cache, System & Data)
•Install the rom.zip
•Install the KK Baseband ( Only When Coming JellyBean or AOSP Rom ! )
•Reboot
•Wait 5 minutes for system stability !
•If you loose ROOT after rom install, SuperSu 2.00 zip and install via recovery!
•Enjoy !!
Because my G2 is still on stock rom, I guess I don't have to install a KK baseband? When flashing the ROM, do I immediately also have the Dorimax kernel? I have no clue if I have to do this separately (and probably before flashing the Pardus ROM) or if this is done automatically!
Thanks in advance for ur advice,
Tom

My phone specs are listed in signature
I have my phone rooted and have Philz Recovery installed
I have downloaded Cloudy G3 2.1 and KK Basband for my AT&T G2
The instructions say
Full Wipe (Dalvik, Cache, System & Data) Where do I do this from?
Flash KitKat baseband Do I do this from LGFlashTool?
Install the CloudyG3 Do I do this from an App like Rom Manager?
Choose your variant in Aroma I'm assuming this takes place during the above ROM install.
Enjoy

It would be nice if their was a video on this from 4.2.2 to CloudyG3
Thanks!

There is Q&A thread for Cloudy G3. Ask there.
The wipe is done in the recovery, there is an option for that. Then head to install and first flash the kk baseband, than the rom. but for me aroma works best with twrp recovery so maybe a change is necessary if errors occur. And for flashing don't unzip the files and check the md5 and variant version(for rom it will be in aroma)

Hi,
I very much hope you can help me with this issue.
I wanted to flashTemasek's CM 12.1 v. 14.9 on a N9005 running stock Lollipop (N905XXUGBOE9_N9005DBTGBOF1). After much reading, I believed it would be best to first downgrade to stock 4.4.2 (N9005XXUENB4_N9005DBTENB1_DBT). I then flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0 hlte 4.4. Could this be the reason? I later read that for Kitkat 4.4.2 without updates I should have rather used the 4.3 version of TWRP. I did a backup of the system including efs. After that I flashed Temasek's CM 12.1 v.14.9 doing a clean install by following the steps outlined in the thread:
Clean Installation
1. Download the appropriate ROM using links provide in the second post.
2. Download the appropriate GApps following the links in the second post.
3. Back up any and all important data.
5. WIPE DALVIK/CACHE/DATA/FACTORY RESET.
6. WIPE SYSTEM.
7. Flash the ROM in recovery.
7.1. DO NOT FIX PERMISSIONS AFTER FLASHING, doing so will cause a bootloop.
8. Flash the GApps.
9. WIPE DALVIK/CACHE (for good measure).
10. Reboot Device.
Flashing went fine, but the phone did not recognize the SIM card. Initially believing that this might be an issue with the ROM, I downgraded to Temasek's CM 12.1 v. 14 only to find that I was having similar issues. I then tried to restore the backup I created earlier but basically only got a black screen and a ton of notifications that apps had stopped working. I then tried to flash back stock kitkat (N9005XXUENB7_N9005DBTENB2) hoping that this would work with my version of TWRP but have had no success. Before causing any further trouble, I was hoping that some kind soul would be capable of and willing to help me with this. How can I recover my efs from the backup created with TWRP? And how can I finally restore my phone and hopefully end up with the ROM I was trying to flash? Any help is very much appreciated!
Thank you!

Who said you need 4.4 to update to cm12.1? You need 5.0 bootloader. That's what you had.
Maybe use another version of twrp. I use 2.8.5? And it's fine.
In twrp go to back up and restore. Restore by navigating to location of your back up.

Thanks! I managed to restore the imei flashing stock lollipop. I initially downgraded because it seemed to me that all instructions were based on kitkat and not much information was available on lollipop. Just wanted to make sure I followed the instructions to the letter. Stupid me...
I tried to restore efs the way you describe it, but it didn't work out for me. Thankfully, things are back to normal now and I will flash cm12.1 directly from stock lollipop now.
Thanks for taking the time to help!
I'm using kikat stock ROM.. I want to upgrade nougat custom ROM
Guide
First you have to update your mobile into lollipop after you can flash naugat rom.for naugat rom explanation is given by me in previous thread.see that.
Dont ever update your phone to lolipop, marshmallow or noughat from kitkat because all roms are laggy, buggy and battery draining. You wont get performance of stock kitkat in any other rom
@Deadman jo , To upgrade from Kitkat to Nougat, you'll first need to flash the KK2L_Base_Switcher.
Follow the below procedure to flash the new ROM. But, keep in mind you'll instead require this twrp_2.8.6.0 which is compatible with KK. And, after wiping the system, data, cache and dalvik in step 2, you'll need to first flash the KK2L zip, and then flash the Nougat rom and then gapps.

You don't need a computer for this.
Download KingRoot, Official TWRP, Rashr Flashing Tool, Any Custom ROM you want (better try any official 7.1.1 build, maybe AOSP Extended), Gapps according to the android version of the ROM you want to flash.
Install KingRoot open it and root your device. Then install Rashr. Give it the root permissions when it asks. Choose flash recovery from storage and choose the downloaded twrp. After its done. Choose boot to recovery.
Your phone will boot into TWRP. Select Backup and make a backup of the current ROM.
Now go to Wipe and choose System, Data, Cache, Dalvik.
Then, go to Install and select the ROM. When its done Install gapps without wiping anything.
Then Reboot your phone when all is done.
