[Q] How to enter TWRP on stock Kitkat firmware?

Hi Guys,
So I tried the new stock Kitkat firmware for my d802. Flashed the KDZ through support tool. I lost root as expected.
Then I started to miss root and control over my phone, so I wanted to go back to Jellybean.
After some difficulties I got the support tool working in offline mode. Flashed Jellybean stock KDZ.
Rooted the phone again and installed recovery.
Converted the stock KitKat rom to a flashable zip, and copied it to SD card.
I flashed the zip and all went fine.
Anyhow, when I wanted to return to recovery it did a factory reset instead, and now I can start all over.
Do we have a solution to this problem?
Thanks.

We are waiting for LG to release KitKat kernel sources for D802 before a solution can be made, but it does require you to go back to JB again and then flash a KitKat rom with the modified kernel in order to keep your custom recovery

Thanks. I thought that if it was a flashable zip, I could always return to custom recovery, but of course it is the content of the file that needs to be modified. I'll wait.

it would not be just a modified kernel it would be an entirely modified zip with parts from 4.2.2 and 4.4.2 so that it can support custom recovery like in jb but be able to boot into kk in fact the only reason we need the kernel source is because we have to add some lines so it can allow jb and kk partiotions to work together

D802 kit Kat kernel source just came out a few hours ago so soon you guys should see a stock kk Rom with root and recovery support

I have been using it but for att and have not experienced any troubles and I also know of a few people who have already flashed roms whitput trouble also it seems like the g pro 2 rom might be the first to seeing custom recovery on d802 since someone there already made a patch but has not tested it yet and thus has not released it yet

Everything LG G2 Stock Kit Kat

Okay so I've been noticing a lot of threads lately asking kk this, kk that, kk them, etc. So I decided to make a thread to help some people and reduce the amount of repetitive questions on the Q&A and will try to keep it up to date during my free time.

Show unrooted in download mode
Next is root and recovery-
IOroot has been updated to v25 and can root most devices on kk IOroot25
T-Mobile's D801 is having problems with root on 4.4.2 because of issues with stock recovery, but they have a dedicated thread which you can check out and read often to see if they figure out how to root it
Recovery is now available without all the downgrading hassle, as long as you rooted with ioroot25 you can:
1) check out Cloudy's AutoRec to download and install custom recovery on KitKat
2) for Verizon g2 owners only you can check out Freedom Tools
If you want kk, root and custom recovery then try the following(once I can find them for other models, if anybody can share a link i'll update with other models):

Bugs/Fixes(When I have more time I'll add more as I find them)
Apparently there is a bug in which when using auxiliary cables/headphones where there is a crackling/hissing sound in the background, I cannot comment on this since I have not experienced it and I use auxiliary cables every weekend for dj stuff and I also use headphones at least once everyday. There is now a fix for this using G2TweaksBox
So I remember from the very beginning everyone complained that there battery was being drained by Bluetooth right after flash without ever wiping/factory resetting, but I have been using kitkat for about two months now and if after 12 hours it's used 5% then wow that's not a drain, the Bluetooth now works in a low energy state just like Wi-Fi so that even if it's off it's always on in a low energy state which means its not draining your battery.
When I have more time I will add more stuff that is stock kit kat related

After rooting stock KK with ioroot25, isn't it possible to install a recovery? you just need to flash a patched kernel with loki enabled after flashing the recovery to boot back into "stock" rom

No the kit Kat bootloader patched our recovery/Loki exploit, if it were that easy there wouldn't be so many people bricking their devices on kk after getting root

The only way is to have recovery on JB then flash Kk baseband for your variant and one of the Kk roms that use the patched kernel. Those Kk roms are mixed firmwares that use parts from Jb to make them work with the kernel and recovery and make sure loki is not broken. So that is why recovery can't be installed on full stock rooted Kk.
EDIT- There are now root and recovery methods/installers for stock KK. Mixed firmware is still used to keep JB bootstack.

My phone is showing in the battery menu that bluetooth is using 3 percent of battery. Says has been on for 12hours but I have not used and is not actively checked. No BT logo in status bar.. Am I missing something?

ok so for some reason for the first few weeks the Bluetooth reports a false positive(it reports a lot of hours of use but it's not actually draining your battery), if you actually use Bluetooth on a daily basis it will eventually stop giving out the false positive, mines stopped reporting 7-15 hours and now only reports around 2-4 hours which is the actual use I give it on a daily basis

I appreciate the fast response. Sounds like I'll wait it out and see what happens but that's good too know it's a false positive. Thanks again!

well seeing as that's the official bootstack you should be able to flash any official kk rom(stock, flex, pro) but I am not too sure if it plays well with aosp

Ok I'm sorry for being a noob but it's been a while since I've done anything root related. So I'm rooted on Verizon LG g2 and can download the update on my phone no problem. However I get an error when installing, does this mean I have to go back to stock first?

if you are using a root browser they should be located in cache/fota there should be a dlpkgfile, a script and some other files and also are do you have custom recovery sounds like you want to flash a stock rom? Also you want to use this to flash back to stock

Help flashing a ROM on the d800

i have the d800, and i want to flash Blisspop v3.2 onto it. im currently on stock lollipop (d80030f). its been rooted, and i used autorec (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=b007.autorecd800&hl=en) to get twrp, and thats all i done at this time. i understand that i need to flash the lollipop bootstack, but there are two files given on the thread, one for loki and one for bump. which do i need to flash?

Im pasting my reply from another thread please follow from where you left off at.
Ok flash back via tot to kitkat and take ota to lollipop. Then use autorec v2. *Do not use the twrp thats comes autorec as it does not flash roms* flash a BUMPED twrp using twrp. Then install your lolipop rom then afterwards install the dormainx d800 lollipop patch.

So i need to:
1. flash bumped twrp
2. install rom and gapps
3. install dormainx d800 patch
i think i get it now. since i already took the ota to d80030f, and then rooted i dont need to do the tot flash back to kitkat.

Yeah sorry about that I didn't feel like retyping my post so I copied it from another thread where a guys was stuck in bootloop.

Need Help Flashing Custom ROMS

Hi guys,
I'm a newbie in this rooting world. So please bear with me. I know this forum will help me solve my problems and answer my questions so here goes.
The problem is I can't flash any rom. I'm having this error
"E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/Download/CM12/CM-12-20150802-NIGHTLY-D802.zip"
What I did was
-Rooted my phone
-Install AutoRec to install TWRP Recovery
-Install quickboot
-Reboot into recovery
_Update my TWRP recovery to 2.8.7.1 bumped
-Backed up my everything
-Wipe everything (except Internal Storage)
-Install CM12 alongside with GAPPS
Now everytime I flash a rom I end up with that error.
My device is
LG G2 D802 Rooted Running on 5.0.2 Stock ROM.
Can somebody help me please? It will be much appreciated.
Thanks XDA Members.
Can you also suggest some good ROMS compatible with my device?
Thank you.

I got exactly the same message on my d802.
Unfortunately, I wiped my system and it rebooted with a "security error" message. I had to restore a stock LP ROM using LG's Mobile Support Tool program.

@audit13 and @markl098 official cm12 might be still using the old loki method of installing so it will need the jellybean bootloader. Most of the times if you get that error you are using a rom which is using loki on a kitkat bootloader. I suggest to use nevax bootloader changer and flash the rom. You might also need another modem for it. Search it on the forum which modem you need for the official cm12, you probably need kitkat aosp modem from dr87.
I also suggest to look for the newer roms in the forum here in xda as most of them are all using new caf sourcecode and running on lollipop bootstack with bump. (Ofcourse kitkat bootloader)
Audit13 the security error probably happend because you wiped the system but the boot.img remained and loki isn't signing the boot.img with an lg key so it will result on kitkat bootloader in an security error. With bump that problem is fixed as the kernels are getting signed with an lg key. I hope you guys can flash now happy further with no probs

Thank you so much for your answer. I can't find much info on that regard. Things becoming more clear now. Can I ask one more question?
I was on stock, decide to try SlimSaber, which is quite nice by the way. So, I rooted my D800 and got TWRP. Then flashed Loki's lollipop bootstack (bootstack-d800-LP_30d-loki-signed.zip) recommended by OP and ROM and GAPPS. Everything works perfect. Now if I want go for 4.4.2 based stock ROM for example I should flash K.K bootstack before? I found this file - bootstack-d800-KK_20y-v1.1-blastagator-signed.zip. So is this mandatory always flash bootstack before upgrading downgrading, right? I can't find any detailed info on this in XDA unfortunately.
Thank you for your time.

Ehhm. You can try it. The reason why is because the use of bootstacks became more since lollipop. You can try it. Perhaps it works else you could always autorec and then folllow the guide on how to flash. I can test it perhaps also for you later. Ofc with my d802 version but I am still underway from heading back so I can test jt only from wednesday
@audit13 no problem. :good: enjoy

@audit13
Can you tell me how did you do it ? I'm really new to this.
Edit:
NVM, I figured it out. I just used the nevax's bootloader changer. Changed to JB Bootloader and now I can flash custom roms with no errors. Thank you @wulsic

installing twrp

I have my tmobile d801 running lollipop 5.0.2 rooted with twrp installed. Now that ive discovered that there are no roms for lollipop im going to downgrade to original firmware that runs 4.4.2 so i can try out some of the roms that have been developed. Ive found a way to root, though i cannot find a guide to install twrp, all the guides seem to have twrp for a different model of lg g2.
What version of twrp do i need and how can i flash it for the d801?

Go to the Play Store and search for AutoRec for your D801 for lollipop and install and your good to go as long as your rooted.

If you`re on 5.0.2 lollipop then you need to install autorec from play store to get twrp installed but you must be rooted in order for it to work.If your trying to downgrade back to kit kat then I think you don`t have to be rooted or have twrp installed at all in your flashing to stock kit kat rom.

You are misunderstanding. I am using a Tmobile d801 on lollipop that is rooted and twrp installed. There are no custom roms.
I want to revert to 4.4.2, so that i can use custom roms, so the autorec for lollipop would do me no good to root and install twrp.
What would i need to do to root and get twrp installed on 4.4.2? i know how to go back to stock, but im going back to stock rom because i want to root and install twrp. What you are telling me is to use the autorec for lollipop...which ive already done. im rooted and twrp installed on lollipop, but i want to downgrade and need to know how to install twrp on 4.4.2

That's because the phone is not rooted.Maybe try LG one click root.If the phone didn't reboot and you see android updating then it's probably not rooted.

You need to turn on developers mode and follow the instructions carefully.When it asks you go in download mode and you get stuck at 90% just wait about a minute and then hold power down and let phone reboot.Let me know if you need full instructions.

If that didn't work.This is what I used on my phone.I just remembered.

That didn't work on my T-Mobile G2 D801 ("Device is patched, sorry"). In fact I've tried Purple Drake, ioroot, StumpRoot, LGOneClickRoot. None of these work. I wonder what's different with your G2 that allows StumpRoot (or any other rooting) to succeed. I'm contemplating a downgrade all the way to KK 4.2.2 as both LP 5.0 and KK 4.4.2 seem impervious to rooting.

I downgraded my phone back to Kit Kat on a D800 and rooted Kit Kat stock Rom just today with StumpRoot.If you are on stock Kit Kat Rom it should.If you install the StumpRoot apk on your phone and let it did it thing and when ask to reboot phone after reboot it should reboot on its on once more and then your rooted.Supernova will not show up in app drawer but you should be rooted.Just work for me.I think because you don't see it in app drawer you think it's not rooted.They're apps in Play Store to check.

No, I always use a root checker to get root status. It seems we're comparing apples & oranges - we have a different phone and different versions of Android. But thanks for trying to help.

StumpRoot should work on all variations of the LG G2 but only on Kit Kat not Lolilpop.
