Hello, I just want to make sure if I am on stock lollipop nonrooted can i safely flash kitkat kdz? LG D802
A kdz can ever be flashed, for ota's you must be full stock.

I know this might be stupid question but I don't have any experience in flashing etc.
So I have LG G2 D800 with 4.2.2 Software version D80010q, I want to update it to kitkat.
Do I need to Root , install recovery or can I achieve it by download kitkat stock firmware and flash it with LG Flash tool?
I have installed Cloudy 3.1 ROM which is very great and smooth but I have some issues like notification sound is very low and I cant even hear SMS notification if I am outside.. on the other hand I am getting 2 hours 35 minutes on screen time from 100 to 5 percent of battery, which is not so good. I have Korean LG G2 F320K variant which was officially updated to Lollipop and than I installed previous cloudy G2 3.0 and then I flashed this one.
No I have only one question, that I want move back to kitkat ROM which would either be Cloudy Stock or Cloudy Flex as I have heard many good reviews.. So please suggest me the that which bootloader thingie I need to flash along with the flashing kitkat rom after cloudy 3.1.. there is return to stock method in which we need to flash return to kitkat zip but that is for D802... So please suggest me..ASAP I would be greatful for any help...
P.S i just want to avoid the traditional flashing the KDZ method...to return to KITKAT.. so please suggest a way forward to get back to kitkat..from lollipop

Hi, depends how you have installed your recovery:
If you have installed it for example with autorec v2 or twrp bumped by Blastgator, you have bootloader kitkat (because downgrade the bootloader) so you can flash a rom kitkat base.
On lollipop I have installed the recovery from f320_lp.apk and then I installed BUMP recovery.. so this means I can flash kitkat ROM now??
I have LG G2 D802 (I don't know if is the same for F320) and in general with twrp bump you can flash rom kitkat bump.
Now I don't now what you do to flash recovery and if everything is ok...but if you are not sure you can brick your device!
Best choice to return stock is always to flash kdz because reset all partition....
However for security wait other reply by F320's owner.
Hi Guys,
I have an LG G2 32Gb International Version. It used to have Stock Kitkat 4.4.2 on it. I used the LG Suite to upgrade to Stock Lollipop 5.0.2 perhaps. I want to downgrade back to Stock Kitkat. Is there any possible way to downgrade using the LG Suite itself? It made a backup prior to flashing to Lollipop.
If not possible using LG Suite, then how?
And the reason I want to downgrade is that the phone just isn't fast enough anymore. Whatsapp messages sometimes freeze for a few seconds before they show up. Facebook also freezes from time to time. etc. Things of that sort.

I think you need to flash KDZ file using LG Tool.
I'm on Lollipop custom rom and I want to came back too..
i have a new LG G2 d802 on kitkat 4.4.2 i need the easiest way to root and install Twrp recovery to start flashing my first rom please .
Follow the directions on the site. Just read it a few times and make sure you understand what you are doing before you do it. There is no really easy way to understand what you are doing without reading
Update to lollipop than use srktool to get root and twrp
i just want to know some thing here :
i have a LG G2 D802 base was KITKAT
then i rooted and install custom recovery
i flashed lolipop based rom withe the right LP bootsatak and i did that OK everything went normal
now what if i want to flash a KITKAT based Rom should i flash anything before that baseband or bootstak or what ???
I am planning to revert my d800 G2 (running cloudyg2 3.3) back to stock lollipop to sell it. I tried this with another G2 and when I reverted to stock KitKat and took the lollipop OTA, the OTA bricked my phone. So obviously I'd like to avoid that this time. Do I need to flash a stock bootstack before reverting to stock or does flashing the tot revert everything anyway? Also I was coming from cm12 when the other G2 bricked, could that make a difference? Thanks guys!
If you revert to kitkat, stock bootstack must be flashed!
If u will flash tot then no need to flash any thing
