Hi Guys,
Just a quick question from a rookie.
I like changing custom rom since I rooted my LG G2 about a month ago and experimenting some custom roms on my LG G2 D802.
I have managed to successfully flashed few custom rom such, Paranoid Android, ClaudyFlex 2.4, Liquid Smooth and CyanogenMod. I always do backup on TWRP everytime I have fully restore all my app on each ROM i'm using. My question is, is it possible to restore only the apps that I have previously downloaded via TWRP? as I hate re-downloading again all the apps via wifi that sometimes take a very long time to fully restore from PlayStore.
Let say I'm now using CyanogenMod 11 with TWRP 2.7 recovery installed. I want to change my ROM to Pardus Classic HD ROM. Should I just simply restore from my back up (Pardus Classic HD ROM+Gapps+all downloded apps on .zip file) that I have done previously using TWRP recovery or should I clean wipe and install the Pardus ROM first, then do a restore of backup from TWRP backup folder after the Pardus HD ROM has been fully installed on my device.
Sorry for a rookie question... just enjoy the beauty of rooting devices and so keen to experimenting here and there...
Regards,
ePWT

I managed to flash recovery without rooting my android (g2 d802), I made back up of my stock rom (which is not rooted) with TWRP.
However I am curious. if, I am rooting my g2 right now, and when I will restore to the stock rom I backed up earlier, can it be noticed that I have rooted? is there a root checker on d802?
I made a backup of the stock recovery and so on...
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!
yesterday i followed these instructions to flash philz touch 5 (cwm base version: v6.0.3.7) onto a fresh galaxy s4 using odin and then rooted it by installing the two zip files in recovery mode. this worked really well. after using my phone for a while, i really missed the pure android experience and wanted to flash a custom rom from aokp. so i made these steps
download custom rom for i9506 (unified version)
make a nandroid backup of the original rom
wipe data/factory reset -> clean to install a new rom
install zip from sdcard -> select the previously downloaded custom rom
unfortunately i immediately got an error that my phone is not supported by this rom, since it is the ks01lte and not a jflte or jflte***. first i thought that's unpleasant but not a real problem since i have a nandroid backup. so i made a normal factory reset and restored the backup i made before. after it was successfully finished, i rebootet the phone. but since then i don't get passed the white samsung lettering after the blueish circle animation.
thanks for any help or tiny hint.
hi!
fixed it by my self. in case some one runs into the same problem:
i flashed the correct original firmware from here with odin. after that it took a while for the first boot and i had constant force closes. after a full wipe in the original recovery everything was fine again. then i rootet it again. now i've to find another custom rom which actually supports my model and delivers the pure android experience without that touchwiz cr...
thanks, kopi
I'm on the AT&T D800 LG G2 on the stock ROM. Whenever I try to flash a new ROM it gives me that error. What do I do?
What I've done to get here:
Use my G2 for a good while (back in Q3 2013)
Install Mahdi 4.4 on it after taking a backup - everything's good.
Fast forward to today
Now I want to update it to 5.0+
After taking a backup I wiped the caches, data and system partitions while keeping the internal storage, where I keep the ROMs and backups.
Attempted to install Blisspop, CM12 or Resurrection Remix - Every one of those gave me that error. EXCEPT when I tried to update to a newer version of Mahdi. No problem at all. This leads me to think Mahdi has somehow managed to only allow Mahdi ROMs to be installed.
Found the old backup before I flashed Mahdi, restored that. Now I'm back on an ancient stock ROM. (D800 10d)
Attempting to flash a new 5.0+ ROM gives me the same error. What is going on?
I thought it was something Mahdi had changed in the build.prop file, so that's why I restored to this old version but it's still not working.
Made a duplicate thread by mistake - How do I delete this one?
Hello guys.
This is my first thread on XDA and I am really excited about it.
My query is, can we flash any stock OS via a recovery.
For example I am a N900 user, installed stock KK via Odin, rooted and then installed CWM recovery. Then I installed Nandroid and created a full backup of my ROM(Stock KK with superuser and nothing else)
When I am using any other ROM like Pekaka 6 or Dr. Ketan's L23(with LP bootloader) and when I try to restore my backup via recovery or CWM it's not letting me to restore my backup.
And when I am using any KK based ROM like K14 or alba19986's Ultralite ROM then it's allowing me to restore my backup.

You replied to your question yourself.
Different bootloaders allow different Android versions. For KK ROM you need KK bootloader, for LP ROM you need LP bootloader. And different modems, as well.
And more importantly, KK and LP need different sizes of the system partition, and to change the size of the system partition, you need a .pit file for that. If you want to play with .pit files, be prepared to read A LOT, because flashing a wrong .pit file (through Odin) may very well brick your device, and naturally, this is not a desired outcome.
And for switching between major Android versions, you need to read even more.
I'm about to pass out, so just read some threads here in the general Note 3 forum, they aren't hard to find.
Thank you so much, obelec for clearing my doubt in a beautiful way.
By the way what if I am on LP based ROMs and I am preforming full wipe, rebooting in download mode, installing KK bootloader and rebooting again in CWM then trying to restore the backup?
Thanks in advance.
