[Q] How to enter TWRP on stock Kitkat firmware?

Hi Guys,
So I tried the new stock Kitkat firmware for my d802. Flashed the KDZ through support tool. I lost root as expected.
Then I started to miss root and control over my phone, so I wanted to go back to Jellybean.
After some difficulties I got the support tool working in offline mode. Flashed Jellybean stock KDZ.
Rooted the phone again and installed recovery.
Converted the stock KitKat rom to a flashable zip, and copied it to SD card.
I flashed the zip and all went fine.
Anyhow, when I wanted to return to recovery it did a factory reset instead, and now I can start all over.
Do we have a solution to this problem?
Thanks.

We are waiting for LG to release KitKat kernel sources for D802 before a solution can be made, but it does require you to go back to JB again and then flash a KitKat rom with the modified kernel in order to keep your custom recovery

Thanks. I thought that if it was a flashable zip, I could always return to custom recovery, but of course it is the content of the file that needs to be modified. I'll wait.

it would not be just a modified kernel it would be an entirely modified zip with parts from 4.2.2 and 4.4.2 so that it can support custom recovery like in jb but be able to boot into kk in fact the only reason we need the kernel source is because we have to add some lines so it can allow jb and kk partiotions to work together

D802 kit Kat kernel source just came out a few hours ago so soon you guys should see a stock kk Rom with root and recovery support

Can't wait to see that. Is there any downsides to this method or is all working well with this work around?

I have been using it but for att and have not experienced any troubles and I also know of a few people who have already flashed roms whitput trouble also it seems like the g pro 2 rom might be the first to seeing custom recovery on d802 since someone there already made a patch but has not tested it yet and thus has not released it yet

[Q] CM11 Problem.. Help Needed

Hi all,
I am interested in the CM11 ROM. Last night I spent 6hrs trying and failed, epically.
Here is what I did already:
1. Downgraded from 4.4.2 back to factory
2. Successfully rooted
3. Installed ROM Manager
4. Successfully downloaded CM11 and latest GApps
Then when I tried to boot into recovery it kept going to a screen with a little android guy lying on his back with a red triangle!!! I tried six times.
I got frustrated and just updated back to 4.4.2 and have been dealing with it. I am still rooted and have been able to remove my bloatware and other things you need root access for.
Any thoughts or help as to how I can install the CM11 rom?? I am happy running NovaLauncher and using DynamicNotifications to approximate it but really want to try out CM11.
Cheers and thanks!

Lucky there is no way to root on 4.4.2 yet or atleast no Recovery's yet it could be worse you're atleast rooted and it didn't brick your phone

Did you actually try flashing a recovery first? Just installing ROM manager won't install the custom recovery needed to flash ROMs. You have to do that step as well.

No, I didn't. I am super new with android. Had an iphone for a long time. How do I flash a recover? Can I still do it now on 4.4.2 b/c its rooted?
Sorry about the noob questions, everyone is being very helpful!

follow this step..

LG blocked the Loki exploit with 4.4.2 so you can't flash recoveries currently. You'd have to flash back to 4.2.2 to do that. Which if you want custom ROMs now its going to have to be done sooner or later. Which carrier and model number do you have? If you have an international D802 the above post by @zekurosu will work for you, otherwise don't use that one. You're gonna have to find the method for your model number.

My first guess was that you missed the flashing the custom recovery step, which people above me have already helped ya out on. For being new to Android you did fairly well, you just missed that one step.
Good luck!

I have an ATT D800 running 4.4.2. I can't decide whether its worth it to flash back to 4.2.2 to try again. Pretty happy with NovaLauncher + widgetlocke and fairly closely approximates what I am looking for.
For what its worth, I was in 4.2.2 when I tried the first time and failed. I think mackster is right, I didn't flash the custom recovery. I basically flashed back to 4.2.2->rooted->tried to boot into recovery (OVER and OVER) then gave up and upgraded back to 4.4.2.
Thanks for all the help. At least I now have a rooted phone and have been able to do some cool stuff with that. My goal is to get nexus 5 software in an LG G2 body (battery, camera, etc)

@android_nashville There's a way to have the best of both worlds. You can flash back to 4.2.2 (10d preferably) root, flash a custom recovery with Flashify or FreeGee. Both available on the play store. Then actually update to 4.4.2 following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483043. Eventually, if you want to flash custom ROMs you're going to have flash back to 4.2.2 and do this process regardless. The 4.4 aboot image (bootloader) can't be bypassed with Loki. Its been blocked. But some brilliant devs basically found out they can make a hybrid setup, with the 4.2.2 aboot, and everything else 4.4.2. This way you can have the ability to flash custom recovery, kernels and ROMs.

[Q] Secure boot, 4.4.2 & recovery

Hello everybody, i made some search on the forum but i didn't find the answer to my question, so i ask it here.
I'm actually on 4.4.2 stock rom, i'm rooted (it's not a pre-rooted 4.4.2 but i rooted it after with some weirds methods) anyway, i don't have recovery and when i try to access it i get a secure boot error, it's ok because i can boot on the desktop..
I want to know how can i get a 4.4.2 version rooted & with a recovery mode like twrp. Does i need to install a 4.4.2 stock pre-rooted with the recovery mode pre-installed ? If yes, how can i do this ?
I also received an lg update on my phone and at the send of the installations i got this message "Your device seems to be rooted, you can't update it".
Thank your for the help

Once you get the rooted flag while trying a software update the only way to get rid of it is by goofing back yo stock, also now that you have custom recovery if you try to it you will bootloop/soft brick

[Q] NooB!!! what is required to install custom rom?

I just received LG G2 802, came with 4.4.2 installed. Now I would like to install a custom rom. What are the procedures should I follow? I know there are many threads around but I am getting confused which come first sequentially, i.e. boot loader unlocking, root, custom rom. Can anyone clarify a bit please?

Its pretty easy now.
First root with towel root
Then use autorec to flash recovery
Then you can your ROM

Many thanks
Thats easy steps.

will this work on the verizon vs980? I'm updating to 24a since i bricked it last night. I forgot what root tool I used but I know I used autorec and it messed up my phone.

I know towel root is universal and autorec has a Verizon version. If it messed up your phone, I wouldn't repeat the same thing though, that would be insanity :silly:

I am not a smart man... :silly:
I thought I downloaded the wrong autorec since it didnt have vs980 in it but same thing happened. it installed twrp but destroyed my system partition. LUCKLY I did the smarter thing and made a back up. after some fussing with twrp (making a back up and moving my old back up to the right location) I am back up and running!
:victory:
quick edit: ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO BACK UP AND STORE IT ON YOUR PHONE!

how?
towelroot then autorec. then flash rom zip.

[Q] D802T with a different KDZ??

As we know D802T does not support TWRP it goes into bootloop. Any one here from Australia with model D802T tried flashing with any other KDZ? if yes can u tell me which one and if there were any issues with it like baseband etc??
I want to install roms and not able to since i cant install recoveries on it..also is there a chance to sideload rom from adb?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks

The kdz flash will just fail. A lot of people have tried doing that, it just doesn't work. Also, the problem with autorec is that it flashes a patched kernel that doesn't work with your d802t firmware and will end up bricking it. The recovery does work though. So theoretically, if you flashed a custom rom right after flashing the recovery it should work. I don't have a d802t though so I can't test it.

That requires a custom recovery and flashing twrp through adb would require Loki which doesn't work on kit kat. It's disappointing that you couldn't flash a rom directly. Maybe you should try flashing an aosp rom like cm after autorec and then go from there. Otherwise, downgrading to jelly bean through a kdz flash is your only option. You just need to find some jb firmware first.

LG G2 no LTE in India
I have been searching xda forums like crazy for enabling lte on my lg g2 D802 in india.
I have flashed D802T india stock rom kdz (For working with band 40 in india) however getting only 3g signal and no 4G.
My phone model also shows as D802T instead of D802. The network settings is showing as GSM/WCDMA/ Lte (Auto) but no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated

LG D-802T firmware issue
Tried flashing custom rom (CM13) after flashing recovery (TWRP) on my LG D-802T (Australian); it started off fine but then ended up bricking the phone: "Continuous LG logo"
Tried flashing it with UK open ROM, failed again.
Did The Australian D-802T stock ROM, worked...
So concluded that it doesn't support others.

By any chance do you still have Autorec apk for D802T ?
