I know that there is thread about going back on stock, but really need your help. I'm lost. I rooted my G2, and got brand new G3. Now I wanna give G2 to friend but want to unroot and go back to stock.
At least, just give her stock.
Now, when I go to links for files, I'm lost. My G2 is D802 unlocked international version, so WHICH FILE TO DOWNLOAD? Please help me.
This was easy before, cause I had Nexus 4 and 5, and it was just download file and flash it via recovery, and if it is possible to do that, without unroot, thats easy, and enough, but still have no idea what file to get. Please help. Tnx
I have TWRP and CM11 atm

You can flash this in recovery. If your from a different region though you'll have 4g issues though.
Or if you want to go back to full stock unrooted you can use this to find your firmware

I had rooted and am now unrooted.
I installed a custom recovery and now need to get back to the stock recovery for a return to Best Buy.
ROM is stock.
Have searched high and low and can't find anyway to get me out of TWRP and back to the stock recovery.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance....
i think you need to use the LGtool, but we need the file to flash.
i am not sure where to get that zip, but id be interested in using it too..

You need to download the Sprint stock firmware and follow the same instructions as the Verizon version below:

I am leaving out a lot of details but if you are interested in more details, give me a PM. I have some personal notes that I can send you on how to flash back to stock.

the only way to go back to stock recovery is to go back to stock but you can also follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2673736 which will allow you to have root and custom recovery

Hi Guys, I have read some topics about downgrading, but im not fully understanding if this is only for people who is already rooted or if this will work for a non rooted device. In my case i have an At&t Lg G2 not rooted with 4.4.2 kitkat and wanted to revert to 4.2 so i can root and then flash a rooted stock 4.4.2 kitkat. Is it possible to do that, even if i was never rooted? I do understand there's no root for kitkat as of now.
Thanks guys.

Thanks a lot bro.
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!

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.
Excited to see what 5.0 looks like on my Nexus 10, I'm running CM 4.4.4 right now with TWRP what's the best way of updating? I was thinking about grabbing the stock image and flashing it through fastboot. But what would that mean for TWRP would it play nice with the 5.0 image? And what about grabbing a stock rom and updating through the OTA? Would I lose TWRP that way? What do you guys think and how are you planning on updating?
Can't take the OTA if you have TWRP. You have two methods to choose from:
1. Flash all stock software meaning: stock ROM, recovery, system apps and kernel then you'll be able to take the OTA.
2. Wait until someone posts a TWRP flashable ROM, will probably be 3 to 4 days after the OTA, but will require less work overall.
