[Q] Stock D802 20h CM12 flash advice - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I have a stock 4.4.2 20h d802 that I plan to reinstall with cm12 as soon as m1 is released.
I've read a kazillion threads here and thought I had everything covered but the more I read more variations I can see.
I would prefer a PC free solution.
20h blocks towelroot so I guess I have to use stump root instead.
I have the following plan. Any advice or anything missing in here? I do not want to brick my g2
1) root with stumproot 1.2 apk
2) install autorec apk to automatically downgrade boot loader and install old twrp
3) upgrade twrp to 2.8.3 with zip file from recovery
4) erase cache from recovery
5) flash cm12 from recovery
But now I am reading stuff about baseband flashes and that lollipop needs jellybean stuff. So am I missing something our am I good to go?
When I flash lg official rom I have to choose the specific 32gb version. Will this be okay with generic cm12?
Thanks for any help!
Stefan

Sorry, but what somebody tells you now, might not apply at the m1 time. Or might have better ways. Might be a long wait as well.
Just saying that you will need to ask this again when the M1 comes. Right now you can only ask how to flash it now.

Thanks for the the reply.
I thought m1 is just a few weeks away so figured I'd start with the rest of the process already so that rooting, autorec and twrp are in place.
But for arguments sake, let's say I want to flash the current official d802 nightly. Would these steps suffice? Do I need to worry about Loki.sh a well?

Well to tell you the truth I do not remember how I rooted my device. Was really long ago... and what applies to the 20h.
I know at some point I used autorec.
And now I have the 2831 twrp.
What i can tell you though, that wiping cache won't be enough when flashing cm.
IIRC you have to make a clean install when coming from stock rom. So 4th step has to be about that, not just cache.

Thanks. I will make sure to wipe system as well then.

So autorec will leave me with an old twrp I am reading. I need to update this for cm12 I understand.
What exactly is the difference between Loki twrp 2.8.x and bump 2.8.x? The one I got from the twrp site doesn't have either in the file name. A xda guide said Loki trwp is needed and rootjunky on YouTube said not to use Loki twrp but bump twrp.
Now I am confused
Stefan.

Update to KitKat with KDZ without removing TWRP?

Hi,
I have 4.2 on my LG G2 D802 and KitKat was just launched in my country. My phone is rooted and I got TWRP.
Can I download and install the KDZ-file (KitKat) without removing TWRP?
Do I have to remove any mods I have done to the system? Like G2 Xposed etc?
Please respond, before I do the update (don't want to brick it).
Thank you!

Do not make OTA update with TWRP on you phone ! you will be stuck at recovery !
You cannot flash a kdz without lossing root and twrp !
Flash this ROM and follow the thread so you get kitkat with root and you keep your custom reovery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2661866

I know not to make an OTA update.
And I don't care about loosing root and twrp. I'm wondering if it will work fine to install the KDZ-file and it will work like a original-phone. Or if I do have to remove TWRP and mods first?
Thank you!

you can flash official KDZ no matter u have twrp or not ! but be aware that your bootloader will be updated and you will never get custom recovery again (till now)
I have searched a bit and from what I have found the phone will not be restored after a KDZ-flash? I want my phone completely wiped and restored to stock when I install KiKat. Can I restore my phone in settings before I install the KDZ-file?
Will this somehow be a problem when I have a rooted phone and TWRP?
Please help me restore my phone to stock and update to KitKat, I want it to be completely stock and with nothing left in it.
Thank you!

Hi all my g2 stuck at recovery! Any1 help plz!

[Q] Recovery boot error

I used FreeGee to try to install a custom recovery after root. First TWRP, stuck at performing action. Then CWM. Then the older CWM. Always stuck at performing action. The old CWM worked. Reboot to recovery and get security boot error. Looked around on forums and found a CWM batch install that everyone says works for them. Still recovery boot error. Anyone know what's up? I'm on AT&T D800. Rooted by ioroot25
Also RomManager says I have both recoveries installed. Thinking this might be the issue. How do I delete one or both and get on the right track?
I think I have the same problem. Could u solve the problem?

Thanks again for quick help however I have checked the downgrade process and its too long plus I have to download stock 4.2.2 firmware which is 1GB plus in size..
So is there no easy method to install recovery on already rooted stock 4.4.2 firmware?

Yea I tried even using the jflteatt philz to trick it but the data part failed and system was success. So I didn't bother trying to boot. You can still use Antares however, it is unified.
I am wondering if I can flash Antares and then dirty flash this over to get the system part, I just don't wanna have to go through Odin to stock rigamarole.

Lollerpop CM12 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-i337) - Unauthorized
Hi,
I tried replying to the CM12 Lollerpop thread but even though I have been utilizing XDA for YEARS, I am still considered a noob due to lack of posts.
Anyway, I just wanted to let the awesome developers know that I tried installing CM12 Lollerpop through TWRP, on my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-i337) that I have installed ROMs on hundreds of times. For some strange reason that I cannot explain, with the Beta version of CM12 right after I power on the device after installing I see an ! and "AT&T UNAUTHORIZED SOFTWARE HAS BEEN DETECTED" and device went to a black screen after 5 -> 10 seconds. Fortunately I was still able to get back into TWRP after a reboot and home + volume up and successfully completed a restore from a 4.4.4 Beanstalk complete backup I took prior to testing CM12 installation / boot, etc.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could A) explain why this is happening with CM12 and more importantly B) how to get around this annonying blocking message.

It sounds like you did not flash a Loki-Doki package. Search the AT&T Galaxy S4 forum and you can find it. You need to flash this after you flash your ROM (or anything else) to trick your phone into thinking you have stock software. Some ROMS have this included, which is probably why you have never had to flash this package before, but I would say that most don't. And no, even if the ROM has a Loki package included inside of it, it doesn't hurt to flash it twice so I end up flashing Loki-Doki a lot.

Unauthorized - Loki & Safestrap
Hi,
I downloaded loki-doki.zip, wiped, installed CM12*.zip, gapps-lp*.zip and applied loki-doki.zip to find the annoying "Unauthorized..." message again. I tried installing loki by itself after a clean reboot. I tried with wiping dalvik + cache and without. Same thing.
After reading up on Loki, I ran into a bit that stated Loki is designed for 4.4.2 and for 4.4.4+ I should be using Safestrap. I downloaded the Safestrap*.apk file, installed it, granted root access and installed Recovery (says Safestrap is built off TWRP).
The first thing I noticed was the TWRP version was still 2.8.1 (I also updated TWRP prior). I went through the same process without Loki. Same "Unauthorized..." message. Tried Loki after. Same message.
I am not sure at this point but I have never had much luck installing Recoveries while being booted into Android. I have always had to install from a .zip in Recovery or use Odin. I'm not convinced Safestrap updated or even if it is the right way to go. What would be really sweet is if the Devs could wrap whatever is needed to get around the "Unauthorized...", into the CM12 installation. Maybe that is asking for too much. I need to still research Safestrap and it is getting late. I do appreciate you pointing out Loki because it got me pointed in the right direction. I kind of forgot about it with the ROMs being Lok'd.

For those who are on AT&T, this is how I got 11-30 to work. Worked perfectly, except the battery drain.
Install cm12 using TWRP (shouldn't matter, but I used 2.8.0.1), flash gapps if you want, flash ktoonsez aosp 5.0 kernel just updated few days ago. No loki patch needed. Good luck.
Didn't get a chance to test bluetooth, but camera seemed to work.
I am using a AT&T s4 (no safestrap)
Hi, Try installing a kernel. it work for me. Alicard or ktoonz.
Question here
I have the sgh-i337 rooted on stock firmware 4.2.2 and have installed shabbyPenguin recovery (I know it's an old recovery but it seems to work fine). I am able to flash this ROM like my bootloader is unlocked or do I need to do something else like flash the loki-doki.zip file?
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure what you said in that last line. But I'm guessing you mean to ask if you can flash this or not. Simple answer, no.
Long answer: I'm not sure what your device exactly is, or what you have done with it. I'm guessing it's not an MDL or earlier device to which the loki-doki patch applies. So using that on your device could be bad idea. I'm assuming the recovery you listed is a modified version for safestrap users. In which case, you can only run touch wiz based roms or Google play edition (safestrap), which this is neither of.

Sorry for my typos. I was asking if I can flash this rom like I have an unlocked bootloader since I am on the MDL firmware Android 4.2.2 and can use LOKi. I have ShabbyPenguin's version of Clockwork mod recovery installed.

Okay, if you're on MDL, then you have a couple of options. Here's the process that has worked for me without issue. I'm also on MDL. I'm using twrp but prices should be similar. This could also be a good time to update the recovery, it's really easy.
1) download rom to external sd
2) download PA micro 5 gapps
3) download ktoonsez 5.0 att aosp 12-9 kernel
4) factory reset, wipe dalvik/cache
5) install rom
6) install kernel
7) boot then let it settle and reboot into recovery
8) install gapps
9) boot and let it settle
BTW, our bootloader isn't exactly unlocked, it's just hacked/patched/fooled to think it is. It doesn't seem any different than an unlocked one, except that it needs loki patch, patched recovery, or AT&T kernel.
Good luck.

Awesome! Thanks dude. Since I am partial to CWM, I was going to flash PhilZ touch recovery, but from what I have read the ShabbyPenguin recovery is supposed auto loki upon flashing. I also have the loki-doki.zip file for flashing as well just in case.
How do I even flash CM12 on my device?
My SGH-I337 has Lollipop 5.0.1 and it is rooted no custom recovery.

[Q] help flashing cloudy g2 3.1?

Alright, currently im on cloudyg3. My twrp version is 2.7 i believe (the same one that comes with autorec). Can someone elaborate the instructions,
First, flash latest twrp via recovery. By this i just install it as i was installing a rom? Then reboot.
Back in recovery, now wipe sys/data/cache, then flash the lp bootloader, then finally flash the rom. Are these instructions correct?
Also if I want to revert back to my cloudyg3 backup do i need to change my bootloader again? If so which.

Yes you flash a new twrp zip like a rom zip.
No, you flash the bootstack, not the bootloader. LP bootloader has no exploit available.
No idea, what bootloader did you have before? What exploit does the ROM require? If it's bump you need a kitkat bootloader, provided in the LP bootstack. If it's loki get a JB bootloader.

Ah, alright yea I meant bootstack. And, im not sure about what bootloader I had before, Im reading everything from my phone since i domr have a computer so finding info isnt that easy. I rooted my phone a while back, installed twrp via autorec and installed the cloudyg3 rom and havent done anything else for 8 months now. Would reverting to my backup return me to the bootstack i had before? Or would cloudyg3 still boot up on the lp bootstack.

You should flash the bootstack and reboot the recovery . Why? because it's got the KK bootloader and the necessary partitions for a smooth install

Well from a logical standpoint you'd need a jellybean bootloader to roll back t your backup since back then no one used the bump script in conjunction with the kitkat bootloader, and the autorec on kitkat installed a Jb bootloader.
what's your model by the way?

D802. Im downloading the bootstack aroma changer zip just to be sure. Btw would this current rom be able to load up on the latest version of twrp?
A guy on reddit said the backup contains everything and id be able to go back to the backup but if i wanted to flash a kk rom id have to change the bootloader.

LG G3 D852 Telus/Koodo Marshmallow 30G Stock + Root (Updated 2017-01-02)

Introduction
Due to popular demand I have created a flashable zip from the official firmware released on 2016 July 12th (Version MM 30G)
Pre-requisite
If you haven't root/bump/TWRP already, read the tutorial here.
Disclaimer
I will not be responsible if you brick your phone. Use this tutorial at your own risk. Read the entire tutorial before proceeding.
How to use
To do a clean install:
Go into TWRP -> Wipe system/data -> Format system -> Flash the ROM zip.
To do an update without losing data/apps
Go into TWRP -> Flash the zip.
To get root
Flash my rooted boot.img -> Flash SuperSU V2.79.
If you an boot error, just flash the rooted boot.img again.
Only flash SuperSU V2.79 or above.
The only partitions that will be touched are the system and boot partitions. Bootloader and recoveries will not be touched, so after flashing to new ROM you can go back to TWRP and flash any custom zips!
I also provided a bumped boot.img on the side for those who want to use it with other Marshmallow custom ROMs like Fulmics.
If you want to get root for the stock ROM, you have to flash the rooted boot.img, then install SuperSU from play store. This is currently the only way to get root on official Marshmallow.
I don't have time to remove the bloatwares yet. So if you removed the LG bloatwares previously, they will be back.

D852 Telus/Koodo MM 30G Stock ROM
D852 Telus/Koodo MM Bumped boot.img (no root, use this to unroot)
Rooted boot.img (Flash this to root #Rooted version 2.79)
SuperSU V2.79

Thanks, just wondering what the bump.img is for and why it is needed to flash another ROM.

Perfect. Can the boot.img be flashed with TWRP instead of Imageprep? Say I flash Fulmics at some point or any other ROM (that has root), then immediately after flash your boot.img within recovery to overwrite the Rogers kernel that most ROMs come with. Just making sure. This extra step is for those with a Telus/Koodo variant of the G3

Yep, as long as the ROM is based on stock you shouldn't have problem flashing stock kernel.

It seems LG released the same MM kernel for all variants in Canada. Theoretically it should work for Rogers too.
You can try it out to see if there's any bugs. If it doesn't work you can just flash back your original boot image (make sure to back up boot partition first!).
Let us know if it works.
Thanks you.
Does anybody have a success story to share about updating without wiping ?

Thanks hdlineage,
If you dont mind i would like to confirm some steps?
I am on rogers MM OTA so i am complete stock.
So i download the kitkat-aboot.img, kitkat-laf.img and twrp
Use your imgprep program to install the img's and twrp.
then back up the current boot.img in twrp, then flash the modified you provided, correct.
Then i could either flash a super user.zip or install super user from the playstore?
Thanks for your work

then back up the current boot.img in twrp, then flash the modified you provided, correct.
Then i could either flash a super user.zip or install super user from the playstore?
Thanks for your work

For imageprep to work you will need to downgrade to lollipop first.
It won't work with MM. Currently you need custom recovery to root MM.

In order to root using the method described in this thread, you must already been rooted with a bumped TWRP when you were on Lollipop. Refer to OP and the "Requirement" section if you need more information.
If you were not rooted with bumped TWRP previously, then you have two options:
1) Downgrade to LP by using LGUP, root/bump using ImagePrep, then flash according to instructions on this thread
2) Wait for ImagePrep to be updated for MM compatibility and then root (and/or install bumped TWRP).
Your propose method may fail since you are on MM already and ImagePrep is currently compatible with either KK or LP only. If your method works, please let this community know.
There are other root methods available such as the one-click method http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197, but I am unable to validate them since I used ImagePrep method on LP only.

It seems LG released the same MM kernel for all variants in Canada. Theoretically it should work for Rogers too.
You can try it out to see if there's any bugs. If it doesn't work you can just flash back your original boot image (make sure to back up boot partition first!).
Let us know if it works.

Cheers downloading now!
Surprised there is no modem.img in the update?
Did the baseband version change?
Mine is a Rogers D852 but is unlocked and was not OTA updated past Lollipop.
The baseband version showing is: MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c1.13-00053-M8974AAAAANPZM-1
Can anyone confirm a change in baseband?
Is there any flashable file available for fido users.?
delete, Rogers should be the same as Fido but can't confirm

It is the same (use bumped zip) from this thread. I have a Koodo G3 unlocked on the FIdo network configured with Fido APN and it works. No issues yet, have not tested GPS or Bluetooth. Since there is no baseband update, I don't think there will be any issues.
My Fulmics install failed to boot and was stuck on LG logo with flashing green & blue led. Stock MM bumped zip install works just fine.
Which boot image should I have used and what about installing SuperSU?
Current root methods in OP fails. Tried both boot images and tried bumped boot image. Supersu failed on version 2.65, 2.67, 2.68, 2.70.
hdlineage: keep getting the error message it is failing to patch the boot.img since Supersu detects boot is already patched. Any ideas?
