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!
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,
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

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.

Autorec is just the first step to twrp. Go to https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705 and get the bumped version 3.1.0-1.
Then put it in your phones memory, boot into twrp you got from autorec and flash the new version.

Hi,
It seems I have the same issue :
I tried to install LineAge, using TWRP 3.2.1 (from CM12.1), but nothing is working (I tried 20180425 and 20180404 nightly versions). After reboot I can see the backlight on the lcd screen but nothing else. Then I tested the installation of a CM12 version, all is right, normal boot. No error message written in the console. i tried also a CM13 install, same as Lineage.
Do you think I have to flask back to LG "OS" ?

Are you clean flashing? Make sure to factory reset, wipe system, data and cache before flash. Never wipe internal storage. Swipe factory reset again after flash. Try flashing gapps later after confirming that Rom boots fine.

Hi,
yes I wiped Dalvik, system, data & cache through TWRP, before flash. But I don't wipe after, I rebooted without GApps...
Maybe, because I read that somewhere, I need to flash a bootstack. I don't know when I have to di it, if I have to do.
Thanks

Yes, you don't wipe after flash, but you swipe the factory reset, it does not wipe but resets the flashed Rom. Give it a clean shot again. Check MD5 of the all files you downloaded with original MD5 to confirm the file didn't get corrupt.
Boot stack flash not needed. Please read the first post thoroughly in lineage thread
"""
Requirements:
Custom recovery (TWRP or any other)
KitKat (KK) bootloader (included in the lg-devs LP bootstack)
KitKat (KK) bootstack minimum; Please read the entire FAQ for important bootstack information. Installation of bootstacks is NOT recommended.
Clean flash if coming from another ROM or CM 13 (no dirty flash, wipe system too check you bootstack(needen bump support)

Hi,
what do you mean by "you swipe the factory reset", I'm not sure what it is, either "give it a clean shot again".
Sorry I'm not very aware of all those processes ^_^, and I'm french so not very aware of some vocabulary words
Thank you
