So I'm currently on cloudy g3 and have twrp 2.8.5.1. I'm not bumped, I am loki-ed.
I want to install blisspop Rom but it requires 12b bootstack.
My question is how do i know if I have that or not, and what's the difference between a bootstack and a boot loader?
Sorry for the noob question. And thanks for any help
-art
As far as i know, its the same. The 12b its a bootloader for the VS980 variant and some roms are build with this bootstack. So in this case you should flash the specific bootstack before flash blisspop.

Hello all, I was hoping someone could clear up a few things regarding the transition to LP sources on some of the custom roms. While it doesn't matter atm, I am currently on cloudystock 2.5 with a D800 and have been eagerly following the development of 5.1 roms (especially Bliss and RR). I belive I am still on the JB bootloader and using KK baseband on android 4.4.2 with blastgator's twrp 2.8.6.1. The new roms now require the flashing of the device's corresponding Lollipop bootstack in order to make everything work correctly. I have downloaded this from the bliss link in that thread in preparation for switching roms.
I understand that the bootloader and modem are replaced by flashing this bootstack with the newest ones for my D800. Is there anything else that this file flashes that I need to know about? (I'm seeing a list of aboot, dbi, laf, modem, persist, rpm, sbl1, and tz image files inside the zip).
According to this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g2/development/bootloader-flash-jb-kk-bootloader-t2965755 the JB bootloader supports loki'd and bump'd roms while the KK bootloader only supports bump. He even states that the LP bootloader is not exploitable. Is the LP bootloader in the bootstack zip also bump'd? Or is it at least a modified one? Will I still retain the ability to flash roms to my heart's content with the new LP bootloader? Though even I think it's silly to question the advice of literally every dev on this forum of installing this bootstack, I've yet to find any documentation surrounding it.
As i understand it whats happening is the old kitkat bootloader is being flashed with parts of the lollipop updates. Thus giving us a bootloader that can use the bump exploit but also the updated partitions list and modem for lollipop. For the d802 people are flashing one update that uses the latest kitkat bootloader along with the lollipop parts required with no user intervention required.

Hi all
Didn't want to post in the official devs thread so I thought here would be most appropriate
I fresh installed kdz for 5.02 on my Australian lg g2 d802T with root and twrp. All good.
I tried to install blisspop 3.5 using the instructions
Boot into twrp,
Install bootstack 802 from lg devs
Install ROM
Install gapps
However after all this I have endless boot logo for blisspop.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hmmm you flashed a d802 bootstack correct? Don't you need a special d802T modem? I get a bootloop when I use a d802 modem on my d806 (same device, similar but not identical modem).
I realised had to wipe system and data first. Whoops.
Lg g2 so complicated to flash compared to nexus 5
am thinking of flashing 5.1.1 some rom says i need bootstack. so i am already rooted twrp and cloudy 3.3
d800
so i need d800 lp 5.0.2 bootstack kitkat bump. so i wipe then install bootstack, then rom and gapps?
what is hybrid bootstacks? and if i want to use 6.0 wich one should i need.?
My phone was stuck and I used this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 to install with tot method.
It worked and my phone was functional again.
I rooted again and installed Twrp with TWRP Manager application.
I wanted to install resurrection remix rom lollipop, in the instructions it said to update the baseband so I did through here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=12880.
The problem is I cannot install any rom or bootstack now from recovery because it says "this package is for d802, this is a lg g2".
One thing I realised is that the tot version is JB and the baseband is KK.
I repeated the tutorial from the beginning for the tot file but in recovery I get the same message.
Do I have to revert the baseband by flashing another one?
I want to get from the current stock JB rom to a Lollipop or Marsmallow custom rom.
What do I need to do?
thanks

if you are on jb you need to install KK then LP then CM
read here. you just have to do the same use tot. for your variant... root/autorec kk for recovery from KK rom.
install bootstacks for variant/ find flashable zip kdz for your varian this will be 5.0.2 stock lollipop. and same procedure use all the files for your varian bu this time use the required files you need for lollipop.

My phone is LG G2 D802 international version.
With the tot file I installed it says now version 4.2.2 so it is jellybean right?
What do you mean do the same?
in the thread with the instructions, it has a folder with tot files, the rest of them are kdz there are no kitkat tot files.
You are saying to install kitkat kdz, root and then install the stock lollipop? but if I follow the same way won't I lose root and everything?
And what bootstacks to install?
If you can be more specific it would help, thanks

yes 4.2.2 is JB.
every time yull loose root and twrp, when you move from JB to KK to LP.
you have to root. add twrp. each time unless the rom you install have root. like my d800 for LP it has root only i dont know about d802's .
some are TOT some are KDZ so ignore it in my case KK is TOT. TOT or KDZ are meant stock firmwares no root no twrp.
yes like i said above youll loose root and twrp. they should have root and twrp for JB. in the thread. i have never been to jelly bean but to KK yes and i had to rooted, install autorec for KK and installed twrp. then update the twrp with thermal twrp 2.8.7.3 from blastagator.
and download this bootstacks for my varian 5.0.2 KK bumped you use your variant.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/lg-g2-bootstacks-t3173715
not sure if you ll need the JB LOKI for the jump from JB to KK from the link above.
then i had flahshable kdzz lollipop and installed after beign roote, and had twrp, and flashed bootstacks. then i could flash stock LP.
and same you root, add twrp and update twrp. using the required files for LP.
so if you rea in JB am not sure if to go to KK you need the loki bumped that part i dont know
ok, I will try to do what you suggest when I have some free time.
What I don't get is if I flash the stock KK rom from the thread why root it and add custom recovery If I am going to flash stock lollipop after that.
Thank you very much for your responses

i think none od the stock firmawares KDZ or TOT have root or custom recoveries twrp. i have d800 they dont.
does the d802 have them? if yes then dont do it . but as far as i know its a image rom from LG they dont offer rooted phones.. so you must have a custom recovery twrp and to install a twrp first you must be rooted.. everytime you update from JB/KK?LP you loose root and custom recoveries wich are needed to flash rom
maybe from JB to KK you dont need but for LP you do i think theres is no TOT or KDZ file for LP. if am right.
and yes i guess from JB to KK you just need TOT and flash tools..
like i said ive never been into JB.
Hey guys,
I have an Axon 7 A2017 (Chinese) that I have bootloader unlocked, with twrp, root and a MM B29 ROM (A2017U).
To update to Nougat (B32) can I just flash the StockSystem zip in TWRP and be done? or do I have to flash a BootStack? If so how do I know what version of the bootstack to flash since I'm not supposed to flash the US version bootstack and the chinese roms are on different versions
Sorry for the noob questions I just really don't want to brick my device.
